1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: What's happened? Everybody.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: Welcome into a Monday edition of Texans All Access four

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: the last time in the season twenty twenty four. Those,

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: my friends, are very sad words to say, but have

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: to say him. After Saturday's loss to the Kansas City

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs twenty three to fourteen. The Texans go down to

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: defeat in Kansas City, a game that, as we talked

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: about today, had plenty of opportunity for your Texans to

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: do what they needed to do to get a win,

10
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: but did not do it. You heard from Devika Rans

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 2: and his Coaches show just prior to this, and we'll

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: talk about it throughout this show as well. So glad

13
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: to be with you one final time. John Harris Football,

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 2: you know, a sideline reporter for your Houston Texans. It's

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: time to catch up with our good friend Andre where

16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: he typically kicks off for a six pm hour and

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: he will do it again.

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: It's all.

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: He's great to get three of us to get a

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: one final time before the offseason.

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: Here we go Dre with me and Mark Dray.

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 4: Couple of days, twenty four hour rule over, but we're

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 4: not quite over it yet. I think it's more like

24
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 4: a thirty six to forty eight hour thing with the

25
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 4: playoff loss. What are your thoughts as you reflect back

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 4: on what you saw on Saturday.

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just admired the way the guys played the defense,

28
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 5: in particular at certain times during the game. You know

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 5: that first drive, a kickoff, big kickoff, a penalty tacked

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 5: onto it another fifteen yards and they're still able to

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 5: hold to just a field goal. So there are times

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 5: when they were backed up that they were able to respond.

33
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 5: I thought Joe Mixon had some moments in this game

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 5: and just wasn't enough offensively overall in all three phases.

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 5: Two thirds of it won't get it done against the

36
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 5: Kansas City Chiefs on the.

37
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: Road and Dre That's the one thing that Mark and

38
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: I have talked about this morning is that you're never

39
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: going to play the perfect game. It's not possible unless

40
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: you're Villanova nineteen eighty beating Georgetown. That was a perfect game.

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you almost were perfect in that one. You're

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: not gonna play a perfect game. But what you can't

43
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: do is the things that you can prevent. A fifteen

44
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: yard penalty on the opening kickoff, missed kicks, you know,

45
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: miss a protection because you know you don't have your.

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 6: Protection rules all locked up.

47
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: That puts pressure on CJ not catching passes that are

48
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: in your area.

49
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: Now, I don't think that was a big deal on Saturday,

50
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: but it just felt like this was a game that

51
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: If you want to say you had it, but you

53
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: could have had you played the game cleaner. And as

54
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: Demiko says, the Texans not beating the Texans.

55
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: When you walked away.

56
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: From it, do you kind of have a little bit

57
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: of that feeling or do you think it's a little

58
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: deeper than that.

59
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 5: Now I walk away from and thinking they certainly had

60
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 5: a chance to win the ball game, and they gave

61
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 5: themselves those chances all throughout the game. It was a

62
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 5: close game till the very end. So even with the mistakes,

63
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 5: we just needed a play to happen here or there,

64
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 5: a reception here or there, a big run, something that

65
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 5: ignited the football team, especially in the second half. I mean,

66
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 5: you could go back to the Chargers game and we

67
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 5: all talk about what got it all started the high

68
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 5: snap with CJ. He's able to track it down and

69
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 5: hits X over the middle. We never had a play

70
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 5: like that to just kind of a juice play to

71
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 5: get everybody going, and I think eventually, you know, Kansas

72
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 5: City is the type of team that they're going to

73
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 5: wear you down, and eventually you look up and the

74
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 5: game's over.

75
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 6: Dre with CIJ.

76
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: The numbers at the end of the day nineteen of

77
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: twenty eight, two hundred and forty five yards, and look,

78
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 4: he took the sacks. He had eight sacks taken in

79
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: the game. And I know protection issues reared their ugly

80
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 4: head at times. At times maybe no one was open, whatever,

81
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: he took the sack. But what do you think here

82
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: of that performance? And what would you say moving forward

83
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: into the offseason for him, he's embarking on year three.

84
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: I thought he really rebounded well from some frustration this

85
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: season to have a solid postseason, a playoff win, and

86
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 4: then you know, obviously they didn't get it done in

87
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: Kansas City. But the numbers, I just read them to you.

88
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 4: What do you think here moving forward?

89
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think in terms of the numbers, I think

90
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 5: half the sacks were on CJ. In the other half

91
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 5: maybe on the offensive line that actually may have favored CJ.

92
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 5: He held the ball extremely long in this game for

93
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 5: whatever reason. Times that they were in field goal range

94
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 5: or fringe fringe range, and you take a sack of

95
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 5: teams out of out of field goal range in the

96
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 5: two minutes real you can't take a sack, and he

97
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 5: was taking sacks and by that the rush was coming.

98
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 7: But you had a place to go with.

99
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 5: The football to avoid the sack so the kicking team

100
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 5: could get on the field, and then that that operation

101
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 5: wasn't clean all game long. The special teams was horrible

102
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 5: in this one, and I don't say that very often

103
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 5: about our special teams, but they gave up a lot

104
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 5: of yardage and a lot of big plays. But in

105
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 5: terms for him going forward in the offseason, I was

106
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 5: I'd spend it in the film room. I think year

107
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 5: three is a very important year where you put any

108
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 5: kind of vacationing and fun. This ought of hurt for

109
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 5: three sixty five and already get you whatever the number

110
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 5: of days is to get you back to training camp. Uh,

111
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 5: that's where the focus would be if it were for me.

112
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 5: I'm tell you, I'm gonna recondition my body. I'm gonna,

113
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 5: you know, spend time in the film room where I

114
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 5: understand whatever offense because we don't know what's gonna happen.

115
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 5: Between now and August. I mean, the head coaching jobs

116
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 5: are being given it seems like every other day, so

117
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 5: you know, who knows if the same offense is back,

118
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 5: But whatever offense is there, I'd spend the entire offseason

119
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 5: in that playbook.

120
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: If you go to my Twitter handle at your Harris

121
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: Football you will see Andre Waring myself celebrating. And that

122
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: is the celebration of Willy Anderson Junior's draft pick. Oh yeah,

123
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: because of the Texans trading up and Dre. When I

124
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: think of Will, I think of a foundation piece going forward.

125
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: And obviously Daniel's had got a second year under his track.

126
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: You got those two defensive ends. You got a secondary

127
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: now that when we went into the season, you knew

128
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 2: Stingley was I mean, I said he was the best

129
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: in the league, but after that you really didn't know

130
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: his last they're gonna play.

131
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 6: You didn't think Bullock was gonna be able to play

132
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 6: this early.

133
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: But it feels like Dre you now have foundational pieces

134
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: on the defense, Uh, going forward outside of CJ and Nico.

135
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: Do you feel like we.

136
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: Have this the foundation pieces offensively or do you think

137
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: there's gonna have to be some kind of personnel movement

138
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: to end up finding what our foundation pieces are on

139
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: that side.

140
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 6: Of the ball.

141
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 5: No, I think that would throw Joe Mixon in there

142
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 5: as a foundation yeah, Joe, yep, yep. I would throw

143
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 5: Dalton Schultz in as a foundational piece. And from there,

144
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 5: you know, the guys like Xavier Is, they're hard to

145
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 5: find where they can do a lot of things right.

146
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 5: And so I think I might even throw him as

147
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 5: in as a foundational piece because if injuries you're gonna

148
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 5: go it. I would imagine someone else that's a two

149
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 5: and a three and he gets pushed down. But if

150
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 5: injuries happen, you know also that he can perform for

151
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 5: you and play special team. So I would almost say

152
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 5: he's a foundational piece.

153
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 7: From there it gets murky. I get in murky.

154
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 5: Waters trying to find another one because I know the

155
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 5: offensive line needs work. It wasn't all on them against

156
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 5: this Kansas City game or in this Kansas City game,

157
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 5: but boy do they have a lot of stuff that

158
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 5: they could clean up. I actually thought the best lineup

159
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 5: going into Saturday would have been Juice Scrugs at right guard.

160
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 7: But we don't know just how banged up he was.

161
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 5: In order for Shaq Mason to get back in the

162
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 5: lineup coming back from a knee having missed three games

163
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 5: with a knee injury. So I think there's some offseason

164
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 5: additions and subtractions that's gonna go into that group as well.

165
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: You mentioned special teams, and look, this has been a

166
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: calling card of this team through this mini era of

167
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 4: two years with Demiko Ryans.

168
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 6: But that was even their worst game overall.

169
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 4: I mean, you give up the kickoff return, the miskicks,

170
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 4: the bad put in the second half that you couldn't afford.

171
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 6: So I don't know what he did there.

172
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 5: I can tell you this, when when that first opening

173
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 5: kickoff happened, I couldn't believe my eyes because I'm so

174
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 5: used to the ball being down inside the twenty. The

175
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 5: ball returner comes out with it, it's well beyond the thirty,

176
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, you see a guy breakthrough.

177
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 5: You see a guy get off track in the middle

178
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 5: trying to go around the block, and that's exactly where

179
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 5: they were exposed.

180
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 7: And and and all of a sudden, Kansas City had the.

181
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 5: Right return called to expose that that that positional player

182
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 5: uh within the scheme. So it was it was mind

183
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 5: boggling on a lot of returns, some some goodbye, just

184
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 5: a punt return that got him in the good field position.

185
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 5: So uh, those are some things as well. As you

186
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 5: clean up other roster spots, special teams will come along

187
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 5: because a lot of those guys will have to play

188
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 5: special teams.

189
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: Okay, this is because this last time three US will

190
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: be on the air for a little bit. I'm just

191
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: gonna ask it because we brought it up, but it's

192
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: for both y'all. Do you think this kickoff stays? This

193
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 2: what do they call it? The dynamic dynamic kickoff? Do

194
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: you think this one stays? It was only a one

195
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: year I mean, people will realize it's a one year experiment, right.

196
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 5: Do you think maybe you let the let the players

197
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 5: vote on it because they're the ones that actually have

198
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 5: to execute it, and if it's better for them some

199
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 5: I would imagine they're going to want to run the field,

200
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 5: you know, they get off to that.

201
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 7: That's part of it.

202
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 5: That's what they've been known for for years and that's

203
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 5: been taken away from them. So I would put it

204
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 5: to a legit player vote, because there have been some

205
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: player votes that you're like, wait a minute, did you vote.

206
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 5: How did this get to ninety eight and nobody voted?

207
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, So, I mean a legitimate

208
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 5: player vote whether or not that they want to stay

209
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 5: and play specialticipates, especially kickoff that way when you go

210
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 5: back and get rid of this extra and it just

211
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 5: still will make no sense to me.

212
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: I know that bothers you still, but I gotta say

213
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: with the kickoffs, at least you had some returns.

214
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 6: This year.

215
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 4: You had that because what really upset them was last

216
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 4: year's Super Bowl all touchbacks. But this year's Super Bowl

217
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 4: might be all touchbacks. We'll see how it goes.

218
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 6: Now.

219
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: For the Texans, they're pretty good at kicking it to

220
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: the one or the goal line, and as Dre said,

221
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: stopping people inside the thirty and you got the job done.

222
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 4: But they weren't kicking off that well this game.

223
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: Because it would go to the ten sometimes start that

224
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: return like the ten.

225
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, see, that's not what they're looking for. They're looking

226
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 6: for the one or the goal line.

227
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 4: If anything air on the side of all the guys

228
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 4: got a one yard even he takes a knee. So

229
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: I I do think it stays with some tweaks.

230
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 5: And conditions like that just banging out of the end

231
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 5: zone because you know you're gonna do more harm than

232
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 5: good because the ball just doesn't travel as far, so

233
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 5: you don't.

234
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 7: You could go out there and warm up.

235
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 5: For weeks and on game day if a degree or

236
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 5: two changes, it's gonna change how the ball is gonna

237
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 5: fall or bounce or whatever else it is.

238
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 7: So kick that baby out of the end zone.

239
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 5: Make them go seventy every single time rather than give

240
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 5: up big kickoff returns like that.

241
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 4: Butcker's kickoff, that one where he drove it and it

242
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 4: bounced between the twenty and the goal line branded to

243
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: the end zone was brilliant. I mean that is textbook

244
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: what you want to do, because then they have to

245
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 4: take it at the twenty out of touchback if it

246
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 4: bounces in the landing zone. And that was beautifully done

247
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 4: by him. Dre officiating thoughts, Yeah, there.

248
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 5: Are some bad calls. I mean, there are some calls.

249
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 5: It certainly didn't go our way. But as the team says,

250
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 5: and I've heard the coaching staff say, they knew going

251
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 5: in they were going to have to beat everybody, and

252
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 5: we know who everybody is in that deal, so you

253
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 5: knew they were going to get some special calls. There

254
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 5: was a call on Patrick Mahomes for will Anderson. You

255
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 5: could clearly see him pulling up trying not to put

256
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 5: him down, and then you have the antics of Mahomes

257
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 5: on the sideline faking being hit, laid out of bounds.

258
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 7: You know, it's a hard enough job for the officials.

259
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 5: It's a hard enough job for the defenders to try

260
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 5: to pull up on quarterbacks when they are becoming runners,

261
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 5: to have that kind of stuff going on. So I'm

262
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 5: sure that if you're faking one and they catch you

263
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 5: doing it this offseason, that should be a discussion between

264
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 5: the rules committee, no doubt.

265
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 6: If there's no doubt, absolutely it's got to be discussed.

266
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: I mean it will be because it's gonna happen in

267
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: this game against Buffalo.

268
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 6: And speaking of Buffalo.

269
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: Dre, I'll turn to Baltimore.

270
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: I don't even know the right way of asking this,

271
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: but I feel like the loss is gonna get pinned

272
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: on Lamar and I don't know. I mean, the interception,

273
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: the fumble, those are obviously costly plays, but then he

274
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: has the quote unquote legacy drive to drive him back.

275
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts.

276
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: About Baltimore Lamar not getting the AFC Championship game again,

277
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: What do you think about that whole kind of situation

278
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: in Baltimore when you haven't made it, when you could

279
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 2: argue they've got the most talented team in the league.

280
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: How do you think this is going down in Baltimore today?

281
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 5: I think Lamar Jackson's one hell of a player, one

282
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 5: talented player that did everything just about he could do

283
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 5: to will his team to get him even back into

284
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 5: the situation where they needed to touch in a two,

285
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 5: and he delivered there. So you know it's My mom

286
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 5: used to say, hell, you can't throw it and go

287
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 5: catch it, you know so, so that was the very

288
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 5: first thing she would say. And so when you start

289
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 5: to look at who they're gonna place blame on, I

290
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 5: don't think nobody. I don't think anybody but Mark Andrews

291
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 5: is gonna catch it. And I don't think as much

292
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 5: as Lamar, Lamar is gonna get labeled as can't win,

293
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 5: the big one, can't get over the hump. The same

294
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 5: things that were started to be started the whisperings about

295
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 5: Josh Allen, who I thought played one hell of a game.

296
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 5: That guy, you can sit there and you can see

297
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 5: just from the television.

298
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 7: I could only imagine being in the huddle or being

299
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 7: in his presence, but you see the intensity.

300
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 5: You feel it just watching him play and break the huddle,

301
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 5: call plays while they're being executed.

302
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 7: The will to win just bounces off this dude, and

303
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 7: you know.

304
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 5: He has basically willed a lesser talented Buffalo Bills team

305
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 5: on both sides of the ball to the one game

306
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 5: away from the super.

307
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 6: Bowl, and we'll all be rooting for them. Yes, Gold Bills,

308
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 6: Let's go Buffalo.

309
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: I thought i'd say that that was a heavyweight fight

310
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 4: last night, no doubt. I mean, Lamar made some mistakes,

311
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 4: but listen, he like you said, I mean, they have

312
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 4: the big drive, and I think we all wanted to

313
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 4: see what was going.

314
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 6: To happen had they tied that game. Tie the game.

315
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: Let's let it play out from here because it's beautiful

316
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 4: to watch from an objective standpoint, and we'll see what happens.

317
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 4: But it also it's a good lesson for Texans fans

318
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,119
Speaker 4: and Texans supporters in general, and maybe the Texans themselves.

319
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: It's freaking hard, man, I mean, you had that game

320
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 4: last night. Somebody's got to lose and what was the

321
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 4: talk all week? Oh man, the loser of this one,

322
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 4: that's gotta hurt a lot because that felt like an

323
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: AFC championship game. And now guess what, the winner gets

324
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 4: to go to Kansas City and deal with what we

325
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: just dealt with. And it's gonna shock nobody if the

326
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 4: Chiefs make it back to the super Bowl, because this

327
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 4: is what they do. Drey, looking around the league, Jayden

328
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 4: Daniels absolutely amazing against Detroit. I mean Detroit at the

329
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 4: moment of truth. And look at these teams with huge

330
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 4: amounts of victories this year, Detroit, Minnesota out out green Bay.

331
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 4: That division was unbelievable. Three teams in the playoffs, all

332
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 4: double digit wins out all of you in your first

333
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 4: playoff appearance.

334
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 6: And then you look at Washington what they did.

335
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: Philly almost went out because the Rams were coming back

336
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 4: on them hard, but they could not get over the

337
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 4: hump and get the job done.

338
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 6: Thoughts on some of the other games.

339
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love what Jaden Daniels is doing. That kid

340
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 5: is unflappable. He can't get to him. He pulls it

341
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 5: down and makes decisions just the right time when it's

342
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 5: not there. He is a dangerous runner, but prefers to pass.

343
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 5: And by that I mean he is going to execute

344
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 5: the offense to the final progression and then take off.

345
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 7: Sometimes they run him, and he's a willing runner. He

346
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 7: wants to be part of it.

347
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 5: When you have one of those at this point in

348
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 5: the season that is as accurate as.

349
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 7: He is, you got a chance to win. And so

350
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 7: he's been fun to watch.

351
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 5: You find yourself, even though I'm a former Lion, but

352
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 5: you're kind of rooting for him to at least take

353
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 5: it down. Let's make the game interesting, and he did

354
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 5: exactly that. He held more than held my attention. I

355
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 5: remember pulling into my driveway after a store running.

356
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 7: Again in the Baltimore game.

357
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 5: It's kind of going back there for a second, thinking,

358
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 5: this is one of those those things where Lamar and

359
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 5: Derrick Henry start the offseason tomorrow, because that's the type

360
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 5: of those are the two type.

361
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 7: Of players there are. They're gonna see this, watch.

362
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 5: It, it's gonna hurt, and then they're going right back

363
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 5: to work, starting to grind for twenty twenty five. And

364
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 5: most of the teams that lost, uh the Stars, that's

365
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 5: exactly what they do. They're hungry to get back and

366
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 5: UH and propel their teams into a deep playoff run.

367
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 5: So you start that process right away and try to

368
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 5: get as much of the sting off of it as

369
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 5: you possibly can all throughout the off season.

370
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 4: This is what's mind blowing about that, all the hard

371
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 4: work in the off season, we're gonna have OTA's training camp.

372
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 6: You know, you go through all of it and stuff

373
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 6: just to have Well, it's I find it interesting.

374
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people is boring.

375
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 6: I'm not quite ridy for you know.

376
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 5: You know a player, a Texans player, I bet does

377
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 5: did that each and every time they want a playoff game,

378
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 5: and then the season came to a sudden end.

379
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 7: I bet JJ Watt was that way.

380
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

381
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, you might give it a day or two, but

382
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 7: I'm going right back to work for next year.

383
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 4: What's the story with Jerry Rice running routes after winning

384
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl?

385
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 6: Yes, so he was running routes, like the.

386
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 7: Next day, he's running that hill and they ran that

387
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 7: hill all the time.

388
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 5: But as soon as it's that day or two after

389
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl, he was rumored that he was right

390
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 5: back on the hill started the process over again.

391
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 7: He talked about laser focused, right, that's the great one,

392
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 7: that type of athlete.

393
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 6: Yeah.

394
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 4: I taught sailing at John McEnroe's club in Long Island Court. Ka,

395
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 4: I did I did back in college, I was doing this.

396
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: He lost Wimbledon to Jimmy Connors. The next day at

397
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 4: the club, He's practicing the next day. This is time

398
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 4: difference and everything. Then Monday he's practicing with Peter Fleming.

399
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 4: The next fricking day. I was like, Oh, the great

400
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 4: ones do this kind of stuff. I mean, Jordan's sane.

401
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 2: Jordan, after they lost to the Magic after forty five

402
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: wasn't twenty three, they went and built them a studio

403
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: out at WB stunned the rope from where my daughter this.

404
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 2: The next day he's out there bawling like I'm getting back,

405
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm putting my body back together. I mean, the stories

406
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 2: are famous of those, you know, champions in.

407
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 5: I thought in that story with MACI remark was gonna

408
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 5: tell us that he was so mad and disappointed that

409
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 5: he came back and gave him vote.

410
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 6: He may have there's maybe more to the story at

411
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 6: that point.

412
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 7: He's leaving something out.

413
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely maybe for the Texans Monday after dark, Okay,

414
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: there are three teams left for both of you, Bills, Commanders, Eagles,

415
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: which one would you give the best shot to beat

416
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs? Because the Bills will have to play in Arrowhead,

417
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: the Eagles Commanders would have to meet them in New

418
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: Orleans inside. Which team would you give the best shot

419
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: to beat the Chiefs and keep them from winning a

420
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: Super Bowl? Does it happen as early as this weekend

421
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: or is it one of the NFC teams, Dre, I'll

422
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: let you go first.

423
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 5: I think it's one of the NFC teams. I think

424
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 5: it's Washington the Commanders. They've just kind of captured something.

425
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 5: I don't know what that something is yet, and they

426
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 5: probably know within the team or something that they've rallied

427
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 5: around for this season.

428
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 7: But they just seem to have the right mojo.

429
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 5: They're healthy, more so than maybe any other team that's

430
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 5: still standing at this point in the season, and they

431
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 5: got a quarterback that just doesn't flinch. So in order two,

432
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 5: I think Kansas City is gonna win at home and

433
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 5: get themselves to another Super Bowl. I just don't think

434
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 5: that that Buffalo has enough to slow down and ultimately

435
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 5: beat Kansas City in can if that game is being

436
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 5: played in Buffalo, absolutely I take the Bills, but not

437
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 5: in Kansas City. And I think Washington is the team

438
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 5: that meets him.

439
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 7: There and and he may win. This sucker man. The

440
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 7: way he's.

441
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 5: Playing and is locked in as he and Cliff Kingsbury

442
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 5: are in terms of calling and executing plays, it's a very,

443
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 5: very fun thing to watch.

444
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 4: They're on a special ride right now. And maybe maybe

445
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 4: they don't know enough to know what the situation is.

446
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 6: James Danils like, this is fun, yeah, and I don't know.

447
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it reminds me of the Texans last year to

448
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: a degree, except you know, they beat a number one

449
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 4: seed in their building in the division round. It's incredible.

450
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 4: And Jadon Daniels just chilling on the bench sometimes. I mean,

451
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 4: I'll have what he's having. He's just so calm. It's incredible. Now,

452
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 4: it's unbelievable. They had a three lost streak in November.

453
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 4: They went they lost to Pittsburgh. Remember when Russell Wilson

454
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 4: do that bought to Mike Williams. Then the next week

455
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 4: they lost at Philly, Then they lost to Dallas.

456
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: Thirty four days they lost three in.

457
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: A row after they had won three in a row,

458
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 2: and you thought, okay, this is the bloom coming off

459
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 2: the Rose. Then they got the Titans. After the Titans

460
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: beat US. They smashed the Titans. Yeah, and then they

461
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: go to the bye week. They had the same bye

462
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: week as US Week fourteen.

463
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 6: Right then win win win, win win win. Yeah.

464
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 4: So you're saying they're hot, they got a row. You

465
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 4: know what, I'll say the Bills have the best shot

466
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: because I don't. I don't trust the NFC teams in

467
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl against Patrick Mahomes. I think if you

468
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 4: want to take down the shot Jim's Kingdom, you gotta

469
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 4: do it this week. But I wouldn't predict it. There's

470
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 4: no way I can pick against Patrick Mahomes.

471
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 6: I just can't do it. I was forced you did to.

472
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: Do it because I think it's good talking point, because

473
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: I think all three teams have an O tuning to

474
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: do it. I think it could be the Eagles because

475
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: that Eagles defense could get after that.

476
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 5: Could you imagine a Bills commander Super Bowl?

477
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 7: Though?

478
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 6: It'd be fun, it'd be fun.

479
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 5: I mean it's different, and I think the fans are

480
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 5: a lot of fans that I talked to are come

481
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 5: in contact with their clamoring for someone different other than

482
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 5: the chiefs, and you certainly would get different with the Commanders,

483
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 5: I asked Johnny tapped him on the shoulder on the

484
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 5: bus and say, how about Washington Man in Detroit and

485
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 5: the job they're doing after the sale? They got it right,

486
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, you get the head

487
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 5: coach right and the quarterback right.

488
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 7: Uh.

489
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 5: That there, They're gonna be tough to be for a

490
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 5: long long time. And I would not be surprised to

491
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 5: see the Bills and the Commanders playing on Super Bowl Sunday.

492
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: Commanders run into my favorite people that have been not

493
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 2: even coaches, but just around the building.

494
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: Dave Gardy.

495
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 2: They put in kind of a senior VP role, and

496
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 2: then they ended up with Dylan Thompson. Dylan Thompson and

497
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: those two guys they added to everything else. Yeah, they

498
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: added to everything else. That and then the quarterback ends

499
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: up being the perfect fit for what they want to do. Yeah,

500
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: he and Cliff Man are getting done. And know, by

501
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: the way, has anybody mentioned Cliff.

502
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 6: Smuff the second half of the year. Is anybody interviewing Cliff? Yeah,

503
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 6: there are some teas that are interested, but he said.

504
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 7: Step interview in Chicago for sure.

505
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there have been teams that have said,

506
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: you know, they want to talk to him, and he's

507
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: kind of like, none, No, I'm putting it on a

508
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 2: hold until we're done, which you can't really do if

509
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: you're truly looking for a job.

510
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 4: So I don't know, but well, no, if they win Sunday,

511
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: he can interview Monday and get that done. That way

512
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 4: to thoughts on tonight, not Tre Dame, Ohio State, what

513
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 4: are you thinking?

514
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 7: I think the.

515
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 5: Last what is it five times they played, Ohio State's

516
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 5: been the victor, so I don't think that changes tonight.

517
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 5: I think they're just a little bit too big along

518
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 5: the interior portions of the of the team on the

519
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 5: offensive and defensive lines, They're gonna get pushed around. They

520
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 5: being Notre Dame, I think Ohio State's gonna be able

521
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 5: to run it, throw it whatever they want to do offensively.

522
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 5: Will Howard has been the surprise because there's no way

523
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 5: at quarterback. Did I think they were getting an upgrade

524
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 5: over Kyle McCord with Will Howard? And he has just

525
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 5: changed things, changed my way of thinking. He's made himself

526
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 5: a draftable player right there at Ohio State. You can

527
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 5: see the work he's changed as a player from when

528
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 5: he was at his Kansas State days. So I think

529
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 5: he could go pro if he has eligibility left. You know,

530
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 5: all guys are exploring whether they can come back or not.

531
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 5: But I think Ohio State takes this one and it

532
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 5: may not be close.

533
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: All right, Dre hate thanks so much. Always fine to

534
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 4: catch up, my friend, and we'll always yes, sir, let's

535
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 4: do that.

536
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: One of my favorite things in life.

537
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 2: Man Sunday with those two dudes, Aaron ray Bold and

538
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 2: Robert Hensley.

539
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: Man, it's awesome. Love our Texans game day radio crew.

540
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 2: Going to miss them in the offseason, no doubt in

541
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 2: one of these days will we plan a lot longer

542
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: than January twentieth or whatever today is. So I just

543
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: hate that it it ends so abruptly as it did.

544
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: It also ends up roughly with John McClain, and we

545
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: hate that because we love the general.

546
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: He's next on Texans All Access.

547
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 7: Oh.

548
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: It's always tough to Monday at the end of the season,

549
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: especially the last couple of seasons. I will say from

550
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 2: twenty to twenty two it was difficult, but you kind

551
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: of wanted to see what was next. I want to

552
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: see what's next with this organization, but really excited about

553
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: what is upcoming. Just hate the fact that we'll have

554
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 2: to watch Sunday against the team we beat and a

555
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 2: team we should have beat in the AFC Championship game.

556
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: But that is what it is. You've got to get

557
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: over the hump. Guys talked about it all day. Coach

558
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 2: talked about it during his Coaches show, he talked about it,

559
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: and in his presser. CJ talked about it during his presser.

560
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 2: It's a step you have to get beyond, and you

561
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: just didn't get there yet. But a lot of time,

562
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 2: a lot of youth, a lot of excitement about this

563
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 2: football team and this organization. But the off season starts now.

564
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: Appreciate you being here with me for the last one

565
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: Tonight Texas All Access from London Texans Radio Studio. I

566
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: am John Harris Football and a sideline reporter for your

567
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. It's time to catch up with the General

568
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: one final time this year.

569
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,239
Speaker 1: Here we go.

570
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 4: The General joins us now Pro Football Hall of Famer.

571
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 4: All right, General, let's start your thoughts on what you

572
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 4: saw on Saturday.

573
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, the Texans didn't lose because of

574
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 8: the officiating. Yes, there were two bad personal foul calls.

575
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 8: But the Texans lost this game because, as Demiko said,

576
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 8: they made too many mistakes, They had miscommunications, special teams

577
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 8: picked a bad time. They have its worst performance under

578
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 8: Frank Ross and they've been so good And it started

579
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 8: with that kickoff return and Chris Boyd's brain dead helmet toss.

580
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 7: Is just weird.

581
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 8: Dimico going for a fifty five yard field go with

582
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 8: that win. That wasn't they even closed? That led to

583
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 8: a touchdown drive. Oh you know, the defense gave up

584
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 8: one hundred and sixty three yards minus that one nine

585
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 8: yard gained to Kelsey, And yes they left Kelsey open.

586
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 8: But Calen Bullock had a great shot at him at

587
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 8: thirty five and missed him. Aziz al Shire had him

588
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 8: at the thirty and missed him. It was a great

589
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 8: play by Kelsey. Kelsey hadn't given any indication during the

590
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 8: season that he was capable of this, not catching the ball,

591
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 8: but is a lustiveness something about Kelsey going back to

592
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 8: his second year in the league, something about the Texans

593
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 8: brings out the best in Kelsey and that call you

594
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 8: just had Mark on that great play by Patrick Mahomes,

595
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 8: I thought Surery was sacked and he threw it once again.

596
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 8: They left Kelsey wide open. You'd think that was the

597
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 8: only guy they couldn't cover. For the second time this season,

598
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 8: the Chiefs didn't have a white averaging more than nine yards.

599
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 8: Catched did a great job on the white House, just

600
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 8: didn't cover Kelsey. And I thought the defense played really,

601
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 8: really well. I thought the offense played good running game.

602
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 8: Last three games of the season were really good running games.

603
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 8: Don't know what took so long, it was so inconsistent.

604
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 8: Joe Maxon came close to getting another hundred yard game,

605
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 8: and c J. Stroud had a good game. And then

606
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 8: the sacks. You know, Blake Fisher gave up two, Shack

607
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 8: Mason one, Dalton Schultz said two. With help from Darrigo Mawiali,

608
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 8: Shack Mason came back. I would have left two scrugs.

609
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 8: Since the Lion had played so well the last two games.

610
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 8: I think the only offensive lineman who can say they

611
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 8: played really well were Lammie Tounsel and Jared Patterson. And

612
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 8: so no matter what, thing need another wide receiver to

613
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 8: re sign. Some of their back that need to resign,

614
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 8: guys like fully Good, Kaisei, Mario Edwards, Dereck Barnett. They

615
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 8: need to get in back, but they got to address

616
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 8: the interior of the offensive line and I would expect

617
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 8: major changes in that area general.

618
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: Two questions One, what was the most disappointing aspect of Saturday?

619
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: And what do you think is the one thing you

620
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: take out of that game where you go, yeah, they

621
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: can continue to build on this going forward.

622
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 8: Well, those are great questions, John, And the thing that

623
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 8: was the most disappointing is they were going against the

624
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 8: Hall of Fame tie in and they knew he was

625
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 8: going to catch the ball when the homes was making

626
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 8: off schedule plays and they still couldn't cover it. That

627
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 8: was got to be the most disappointing thing for Tamiko Ryans,

628
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 8: leaving him wide opening the end zone with two guys

629
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 8: standing around, having missed having a miscommunication on the forty

630
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 8: nine ers yarder, that two guys missed, the tackles, that

631
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 8: they did a good job against malls one hundred and

632
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 8: seventy seven yards, take away that one play that's apparently

633
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 8: had over one hundred yards, And the most and the

634
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 8: best thing to me was the play, particularly the defensive line.

635
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 8: The defensive lines shut down their run so did the linebackers.

636
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 8: They had fifty yards rushing two point three carry in

637
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 8: the playoffs. The Texas were great against the run against

638
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 8: two teams that were good. Chiefs were real. I mean

639
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 8: the Chargers were really dependent on the run. Chiefs running,

640
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 8: but I thought that run defense was great and started

641
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 8: up front. I think next year, considering Jalen pee Tree

642
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 8: was gone for the season, Jimmy Ward, both those guys

643
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 8: should be back. But I would look at trying to

644
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 8: find a receiver, I mean a safety like Kaylen Bullock

645
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 8: in the third or fourth round to come in there,

646
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 8: because safety has been the most injured position the last

647
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 8: two years. Wide receiver was this year. Safety was too,

648
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 8: losing two starters the last year. Remember they lost three

649
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 8: in the top four. Peetrie was the only one who

650
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 8: was able to stay on the field. So that's something

651
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 8: Nick Cassio and Dimiko Ryans need to address. But I

652
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 8: feel good about the defense. Most of their top free

653
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 8: agents are on defense, and of course they're gonna have

654
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 8: to get a receiver, and I don't know if it's

655
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 8: in the draft or free agency, but you know, the

656
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 8: people tiptoe around it. There's a good chance to take

657
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 8: down won't be playing next season and because of all

658
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 8: the surgeries he has had or will have. So they

659
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 8: have got to find a receiver who can help out

660
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 8: Nico Collins. Whether that's re signed Stefan Diggs for one

661
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 8: year or two years, I don't know. They would know

662
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 8: Digs behind the scenes. Now, when you get hurt, most

663
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 8: of the time you go off on your own like that.

664
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 8: But when you got CJ, you've got to make sure

665
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 8: you put the best around and it starts in the line.

666
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 8: If they don't get their offensive line pigs on pass protection,

667
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 8: you know they're going to be spinning their wheels again.

668
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny because they have highlights up on the

669
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 4: monitor here and you know you see some of the

670
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 4: protection issues and it's not just O line, but it's

671
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 4: just justin Reid blasting up the middle. You've got a

672
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 4: single blocker on Carloftis with Schultz and look, that's a

673
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 4: tough assignment, no question about it. But got to find

674
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 4: a way to hold up. And you mentioned receiver. You

675
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 4: say a receiver, I'm thinking you said it.

676
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: John.

677
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 4: You don't know about Dell's health, and maybe they know,

678
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 4: they have to know more than we do. But Diggs

679
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 4: is a free agent. Dell's banged up, Nico got banged

680
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 4: up during the game, Metschi was banged up going into

681
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 4: the game and banged up during the game, and there

682
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 4: they were still battling, still hanging in there against this team.

683
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 4: I think they need multiple players at receiver possibly, and

684
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 4: the draft is what it is. But your thoughts on

685
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 4: that and also the running game, because you do have

686
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 4: Joe Mixon here and that's got to really make you

687
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 4: feel good going into next year, even though he's you know, seasoned,

688
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 4: if you will, he's the third leading rusher of this

689
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 4: postseason through the first two rounds, and if he stays upright,

690
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 4: he can certainly be one of the best in the league.

691
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, Megson showed no signs of slowing up with the

692
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 8: weird and tear he's got, and he's been remarkably durable.

693
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 7: To me, he was the MVP on offense.

694
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 8: And you know, I still don't understand why Cincinnati was

695
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,239
Speaker 8: gonna cut him if the Texans haven't made giving him

696
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 8: a seventh round pick a great move by Nick Cassario

697
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 8: that I may write a column for Houston Texas dot

698
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 8: Com somewhere down the road about Casio's best moves, and

699
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 8: off the top of my head, that may be the

700
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 8: best one. Drafting Stroud, you know, anybody do that, But

701
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 8: you get Joe Mixon and he comes in there and

702
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 8: makes such a difference. That was a tremendous move. I'm

703
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 8: guessing nobody's going to offer Stefan Digs a contract coming

704
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 8: off of torn ACL so he'd be smarter to come

705
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 8: back here on a one year deal, even though he'll

706
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 8: be thirty two. Show that he can come back and

707
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 8: play the way he was before he got hurt and

708
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 8: the way he was in the career. So I'm guessing

709
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 8: Tigs is going to be back here and then they

710
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 8: still need another one. If you resigned Diggs, then I

711
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 8: would draft to receive it that has the traits whatever

712
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 8: traits that Tamiko right wants. One of the things that

713
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 8: impressed me the most about Damika is the what he

714
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 8: wants positions specifics, not just to tackle, but a right tackle,

715
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 8: left tackle, men in defense. You know what he wants

716
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 8: in his ends as linebackers now, Henry Tootoa made tremendous

717
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 8: improvement this year. He got a chance to play because

718
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 8: of the injury to Christian Harris. So even though they

719
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 8: have the tackles that are going to be under a

720
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 8: strict day, they got depth in the defensive line, and

721
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 8: I would imagine those guys are going to go where

722
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 8: they get the most money. But yeah, you're right about

723
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 8: the receivers. I'm guessing gigs and a draft choice general.

724
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: The AFC Championship game is between a team the Texans

725
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 2: beat Buffalo Bills and a team that it had every

726
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 2: opportunity to beat this past week. The Kansas City Chiefs

727
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 2: handicap this one one v two in the AFC, Bill's

728
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs in Arrowhead. Do you give the Bills a shot

729
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: or the Chiefs going to the super bow again?

730
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 8: Well, I guess they have a shot. Josh Allen's playing great.

731
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 8: They had a tremendous game last night. Although I felt

732
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 8: terrible for Mark Andrews and fumble after a good catch

733
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 8: and then he dropped that pass could have been thrown better.

734
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 8: Makes me wonder why when you've got Derrick Henry and

735
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson and you're trying to get two point conversions

736
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 8: at the two, you're not running the ball, you're throwing it.

737
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 8: In that kind of weather, it just doesn't make a

738
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 8: lot of sense, and I don't think Buffalo could beat

739
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 8: Kansas City twice in one season. I'd like to see it.

740
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 8: I'd like to see the Bills. I was open Baltimore,

741
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 8: so I could pick Stay.

742
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 7: I picked the.

743
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 8: Super Bowl winner, but the Bills and Lions, with their

744
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 8: frustrated fan bases, those would have been the best. Of course,

745
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 8: the Lions get blown out at home and the biggest

746
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 8: upset of the weak ed. But I'm going with Kansas

747
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 8: City because they're going up against a really good defense.

748
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 8: They're going up against Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, and

749
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 8: they're going up against officials.

750
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 6: General Demiko Ryans.

751
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 4: You know that he's not going to stan Pat and

752
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 4: think I'm not going to work on my own personal game.

753
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,479
Speaker 4: What do you think he's thinking about things he needs

754
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 4: to do differently or better as a head coach, even

755
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 4: though he's off to a fantastic start in his head

756
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 4: coaching career through two years, he sure is.

757
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 8: He's had two years, had two playoff victories, the same

758
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 8: record both times. They're not as good as Baltimore Buffalo.

759
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 8: In Kansas City, even though they beat Buffalo twenty three

760
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 8: to twenty here, they they're until they can get a

761
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 8: home game in the divisional round, or they can get

762
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 8: good enough to go on the road and win. And

763
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 8: they were capable of winning this game. They had their

764
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 8: chances at halftime.

765
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 7: And so.

766
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 8: I think Demiko first of all, has got to make

767
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 8: decision is on his coaching staff. You know who's going

768
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 8: to be fired, who's going to be brought back, Who

769
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 8: you're gonna go for.

770
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 7: You know, if they if.

771
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 8: Everybody's speculating they're going to fire Cole Hauser, and uh,

772
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 8: I don't know about Bobby Sloyd. And I tell you

773
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 8: right now, if I'm the Miko, if I'm firing Colehauser,

774
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 8: I'm calling Mike Munshak, one of the greatest offensive line

775
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 8: coaches in history, who's taken the last two years off

776
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 8: to have like replace knees and things that he hurt

777
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 8: as a player for the Oilers. And I'm told that

778
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 8: he's ready to come back. We'll have all kinds of

779
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 8: offers and uh, but you have to get that area fixed,

780
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 8: you know, coaches, the thing about the great, uh, the

781
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 8: great let's see. Philosopher Bill O'Brien told me after his

782
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 8: first season that the biggest mistake head coaches make is

783
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 8: you hire your friends for your first staff, because you've

784
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 8: all been promising each other. If I get it first,

785
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 8: I'll are you. And then you got to figure out

786
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 8: the second year which brands you can't win with, and

787
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 8: you have to make the right decisions. And I'm not

788
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 8: saying Bill did, but that was his philosophy and I've

789
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 8: talked to other coaches about it, and so Dimiko's got

790
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 8: difficult decisions to make. You know, he's not going to

791
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 8: fire the defensive play caller, and I think Matt Burke.

792
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 8: Matt's specialty is a defensive line. He lets the other

793
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 8: guys get the credit, but he plays a big role

794
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 8: in what happens with the defensive line. The defensive line

795
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 8: and the corners are the best things they got going linebackers,

796
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 8: yes too, but you know the one they need. Whether

797
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 8: they need a third corner who can be a slight

798
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 8: corner so Petrie can go back to safety, or do

799
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 8: they move leave Petrie there? So they got a lot

800
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 8: of decisions, but boy, they're dealing from a position of strength,

801
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 8: and unfortunately nothing left. I don't think of the Deshaun

802
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 8: Watson trade, and Cassio's not gonna have as much money

803
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 8: under the cap as he had last year. So it's

804
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 8: gonna be a really interesting, intriguing off season for Nick

805
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 8: Cassario as well as Jamiko Ryans.

806
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 6: Matt Burke leaves, I will cry. I really love that man,

807
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 6: A great coach.

808
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 7: I love.

809
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, no way he's going somebody where to offer him

810
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 8: a job as a play caller. But Matt is too

811
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 8: beloved and respected. They should just give.

812
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 7: Him a raise.

813
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, General, I gotta ask you in the McLean Household

814
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 2: Saturday night. Obviously, dealing with the Texans loss is tough,

815
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 2: but but your wife must have loved seeing the Commanders

816
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 2: beat the Lions the way that they did. What what

817
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,959
Speaker 2: was the McLean household like when the Commanders are winning

818
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 2: that game?

819
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, Carol, usually he goes to bed early,

820
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 8: and somehow she ga't managed to stay up with me,

821
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 8: but she managed to stay up watching the Commanders. And

822
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 8: of course she was celebrating. We have a really good

823
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 8: friend news from Philadelphia. So they were trash talking each

824
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 8: other yesterday after the Eagles won. So you know what

825
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 8: you say, happy wived, happy live, and she's very happy

826
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 8: right now. All I got to do is keep my

827
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 8: mouth shut.

828
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 4: General, Thanks So much for all the visits this season.

829
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 4: We appreciate it as always and we'll catch up soon enough.

830
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 7: Guys, thank you very much, Thank you for having me.

831
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 7: It's a fun season.

832
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 8: I really look forward to the off season and can't

833
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 8: wait for next season.

834
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that general has a lot of the

835
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: same thoughts that we do.

836
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 2: The excitement at twenty twenty five can't get here fast enough,

837
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 2: but we got a key off season play acquisitions, rebuilding

838
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: the team, getting it right for twenty twenty five. I

839
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 2: can't wait to see what the text do and well

840
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 2: for me, that starts at the Senior Bowl next week.

841
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 2: All right, we get back. There's a lot of news

842
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL. The Indianapolis Colts in the division have

843
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 2: a new defensive coordinator. The Bears seemingly have a new

844
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 2: head coach, and it could impact the Jaguars, Actually it will.

845
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: We'll talk about all that next right here in Texans

846
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: All Access.

847
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: All right, we go on final segment to finish up

848
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: this first hour of this last Monday edition of Texans

849
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 2: All Access. Appreciate you being with me all year long.

850
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 2: My name is John Harris, Football analyst, sideline reporter. Feeling

851
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 2: a little sad feeling a little in my emotions as

852
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 2: it was locker clean out day, and I think, you know,

853
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 2: one of the things about you know, this this thing

854
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 2: we call the NFL, every team is a new entity.

855
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 2: We talked about it with coach, We talked about it

856
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 2: with some of the players. You have a feeling who's

857
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 2: going to be back with CJ. Stroud is gonna be

858
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 2: the quarterback for this team for a long time. Will

859
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 2: Anderson Junior is going to be a leader for this

860
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 2: team for.

861
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: A long time.

862
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 7: You know.

863
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 2: But after that, you look in the locker room and

864
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: you're like, man, guys that I got close to you guys,

865
00:42:58,719 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 2: we did interviews with guys.

866
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: You know over the last three or four years. We've

867
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: got to know whe are they going to be here?

868
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: What are their futures? And it's kind of tough. It's tough,

869
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: but it is the business.

870
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of the business, let's go around in the NFL

871
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: with some news that has hit now. One of the

872
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 2: things I teased was that the Colts have a new

873
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. The punching bag that is Gus Bradley is

874
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 2: no more in Indianapolis. I think we talked about that

875
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 2: near the end of the season. They have a new

876
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator and his name is lou An Arumo, former

877
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator. He had been fired by the Bengals,

878
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 2: but he is now latched onto the Indianapolis Colts. And

879
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 2: as Mark put it in my text, Nochy, Yeah, I

880
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 2: don't like that one at all. Not happy when lou

881
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 2: Anarumo going to the Colts. I think that is an

882
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 2: absolutely massive, massive move for the Colts to get that.

883
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 2: Right now, obviously we know what the Colts. It comes

884
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 2: down to, whether they got enough heart and soul to

885
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: be honest and play with some competitiveness and their quarterback

886
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: taking the strides. We'll see if they can get there

887
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 2: and who if it's gonna be Anthony Richardson, but at

888
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: least defensively, lou An Arumo is gonna put a boot

889
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: up their ass to get him going on that side

890
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 2: of the ball, no question now. This one reported by

891
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 2: Mike Garifolo actually retweeted this earlier today. The Atlanta Falcons

892
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 2: are interviewing Texans defens line coach Assistant defens line coach

893
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: Nate Ali So Nate and Rod Wright worked together a

894
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 2: defensive line. That defensive line was tremendous, and those two

895
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: were you know, they're peanut butter and jelly, always around

896
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: together with one another. They're tremendous. They're interviewing Ali for

897
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 2: their vacant defensive line job. Ali worked with Jeff Ulbrick,

898
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 2: who just took over as defensive coordinator in Atlanta. Texans

899
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: had forty nine sacks this year, tied for fourth most

900
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 2: of the league. Nate Oli could be getting a shot

901
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. And as much as I would hate that,

902
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 2: and as I tweeted, I hate it for the Texans selfishly,

903
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 2: but for Nate Ali, that is a that's a great one.

904
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 2: That is a great opportunity to go do something awesome

905
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 2: for the Atlanta Falcons. So we'll see what that means

906
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 2: for him going forward. Now, probably to the bigger moves

907
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 2: that happened today, one happened in Division. Titans specialties have

908
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: been terrible. They just hired John Bones Fossil. That's gonna

909
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 2: be a good move for them, huge move for Brian Callahan.

910
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: The Titans will not be a mess on special teams anymore.

911
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 2: Bones is as good as it gets. I mean, he

912
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: could be a Hall of Famer in that business. The

913
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 2: other one is probably a bigger one. It doesn't directly

914
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 2: impact the AFC South, but it kind of does such

915
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 2: an indirect Chicago Bears and Ben Johnson, Lions offensive coordinator.

916
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 2: They're linking up Chicago Bears Ben Johnson new head coach

917
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams has got his offensive maestro. Now it's on

918
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams to get it right. And if he can

919
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 2: start playing right doing it right with Ben Johnson, the

920
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 2: Bears could be something. But the Bears and Ben Johnson

921
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 2: getting married, now that has a ribel effect because the

922
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars had been in the running for Ben Johnson

923
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 2: as well, and there were a lot of thoughts back

924
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: in December ish that the Jaguars were gonna end up

925
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 2: with Ben Johnson because Ben, Trevor Lawrence, you know, reset

926
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Ben would have the power he would

927
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 2: need down there. Then Doug Peterson got fired. Okay, here

928
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 2: we go, but Trent balkis staying. And I guarantee you,

929
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 2: I guarantee you that coaches are bailing on that decision

930
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville because of that. Byron Leftwich did it two

931
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 2: years ago, and I guarantee you a played a role

932
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 2: in Ben Johnson. Does he believe in Kayleb Williams over

933
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence.

934
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: That could be.

935
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: That could be, and maybe Ben Johnson's the Midwest guy.

936
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 2: But Jacksonville right now I think would be primed to

937
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: take that stride. I think Jacksonville could take the stride

938
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: over Indianapolis and Jackson will get back in the playoff

939
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: mix with a guy like Ben Johnson.

940
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: But Keevin, Trent Balki.

941
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 2: That was something shot Com wanted to do and it's

942
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 2: gonna come back to burn him and it's cost him

943
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson.

944
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if they really wanted Ben Johnson, but.

945
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 2: It actually I think it cost him, and it cost

946
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 2: him in a big way because Ben Johnson now the

947
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears head coach. So to review Chicago Bears head

948
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 2: coach Ben Johnson, Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator lou Anarumo, Tennessee

949
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 2: Titans special teams coordinator John bones Fossil one of the

950
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: best in the league. So there's some things happening around

951
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 2: the league as we get ready for the National Championship

952
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 2: game tonight. How about that Ohio State Notre Dame. Go

953
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 2: check out my keysday game football takeover Dot com I

954
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 2: would appreciate it. Coming up next, we got an hour

955
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 2: filled with two of the best we've ever been around.

956
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: We'll start it with d Kalu right here.

957
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 2: In Texas All Access. We go one more hour left

958
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 2: in this season of Texans All Access. Man, that's sad

959
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 2: to say it. Appreciate you being with me. John Harris,

960
00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 2: football analyst, sideline reporter. Back in August, an opportunity to

961
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 2: do three preseason games with to the best man. It

962
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 2: was so good to be up there with Kevin Cooler

963
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 2: doing our play by play and then do an analyst

964
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 2: work next to my friend n D Kalou and sharing

965
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 2: that stage with ND was awesome, and then doing it

966
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 2: every single Monday is just as awesome.

967
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,919
Speaker 1: Here's Indy Kalu given his thoughts on what he saw.

968
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,720
Speaker 2: He starts with a little bit of getting after the rests,

969
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 2: which a lot of people did over the weekend.

970
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: We had a good time talking with ND. As always.

971
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 6: Let's start here with your thoughts on what you saw Saturday.

972
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 9: I've never been blame it on the rest guy, and

973
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 9: I'm not even saying that the Texans would have won

974
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 9: if it wasn't for certain calls. But to end the

975
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 9: season with some of the calls that we witnessed, it

976
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 9: was just very disheartening because again, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey

977
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 9: Jones on defense probably the best interior lineman in the game,

978
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 9: even though Jaln Carter has a word on that. But

979
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 9: for some of those calls to be called in the

980
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 9: playoffs when the supposed best rests are the ones who

981
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 9: get elected to call the playoff games. That that was

982
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 9: that really bothered me. And again, look, I'm not saying

983
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 9: I played for coach Reed when he won his first

984
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 9: Super Bowl. You know, I may or may not have

985
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 9: shed a tear for him, but to lose a game

986
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 9: like that with some of those calls, it was just

987
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 9: hard for me to accept.

988
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 2: Handy, I was having a conversation with our good friend Lance,

989
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 2: my good friend Lance Airline, and we were kind of

990
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 2: texting and he mentioned Jim Johnson, I know a name

991
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 2: that you bring up a lot, and we were talking

992
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 2: about SPAGS and some of the things that SPAGS does.

993
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 2: Do you see a lot of Jim what Jim Johnson

994
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 2: did in what SPAGS calls or do you see it

995
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 2: kind of as the evolution of what Jim started, or

996
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 2: do you see no connection at all to how Al

997
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 2: Spags calls a game, or do you see a close

998
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 2: relationship to Jim.

999
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 9: Oh, there's definitely a connection. And you see It's funny

1000
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 9: you say that because during the game, and I was

1001
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 9: texting by Taylor, who was a part of those great defenses,

1002
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 9: and when we saw the aggressiveness, the aggressive plays where

1003
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 9: you probably would have called a conservative defense, he texted

1004
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 9: me saying, that's Jim, and so I knew exactly what

1005
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 9: he meant. So the influence is there, But the game

1006
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 9: has changed since the last time Jim Johnson as coach.

1007
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 9: So I do think Spags puts his own personal touch

1008
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 9: to it, but he one is influenced by his time

1009
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 9: under Jim Johnson, and he'll be the first to let

1010
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 9: you know that.

1011
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 4: What about this Dimico defense, They really kept the Chiefs

1012
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 4: in check for much of the night. I thought they

1013
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 4: were hampered by short fields when you look at the

1014
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 4: missfield goal. They gave up the fifty five yard touchdown drive,

1015
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 4: but they kept the Texans.

1016
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 7: In the game.

1017
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 4: I mean that phase of the three I would say

1018
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 4: shine the most. The offense had their moments as well.

1019
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 4: We won't talk about special teams yet, thoughts.

1020
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely.

1021
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 9: I mean with the way the game opened up, you

1022
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 9: know your thought there is like okay, now we just

1023
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 9: got to hold the team to three, and the defense

1024
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 9: they stand up for the challenge. And I mean this,

1025
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,479
Speaker 9: I heard y'all earlier before I came on talking about

1026
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 9: Will Anderson. It's gonna be fun to watch his growth

1027
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 9: and development. You just pray that he doesn't get injured.

1028
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 9: And this is a guy that I mean. I'm not

1029
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 9: gonna sit up here and say he's gonna have a

1030
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 9: JJ Watt type career because that comes once in a lifetime,

1031
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 9: but somewhere in between what we saw with Mario and JJ,

1032
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 9: I mean, he can have a Hall of Fame career

1033
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 9: because he's so good, he's so talented, and yet he's

1034
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 9: so hungry and humble with his approach. But the entire defense,

1035
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 9: it just has that Demiko touch on it. And that's

1036
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 9: why I think this team, this programmed, this organization is

1037
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 9: gonna be good for years to come because you could

1038
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 9: bring in different players and as long as you have

1039
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 9: to meek on that culture and that mindset, it's gonna

1040
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 9: be fun. And this defense is gonna keep you in games. Look, look,

1041
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 9: this is the Kansas City Chiefs, like, you weren't gonna

1042
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 9: shut him out. You know, you weren't gonna shut him out.

1043
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 9: You weren't gonna hold him to zero touchdowns. They were

1044
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 9: gonna have good drives. But the thing about the defense,

1045
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 9: they battled the entire game and unfortunately are battling the

1046
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 9: best quarterback in the game today, Patrick Mahomes and somebody's rest.

1047
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talkingbout Andy Kalu. Andy.

1048
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 2: I know during the preseason, as we watched this team

1049
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 2: being developed, and you and I were doing the games together,

1050
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 2: we were talking about this secondary and how good.

1051
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: It could be.

1052
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 2: PFF put together their way too early breakout candidate for

1053
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five already, and they list for the Texans

1054
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 2: Kayln Block.

1055
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, listen to this. I didn't realize this.

1056
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 2: Even as a rookie, Kaylen played the second most snaps

1057
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 2: on Houston's defense, and he stood out as a run defender,

1058
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 2: which is pretty wild because you end up drafting him

1059
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 2: in the third round and then you add him, hopefully

1060
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 2: to a healthy Peatrie next year, and then you see

1061
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 2: Kamari Lastedar and obviously we know what we got in

1062
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 2: Derek Stingley. How good do you think this secondary can

1063
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 2: be in the especially behind a line of features a

1064
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 2: guy we talked about a little while ago, Will Anderson Junior.

1065
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 9: If they could keep them intact, they could be as

1066
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 9: good as the Seattle Seahawk defensive back teams that help

1067
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 9: lead them to a Super Bowl. And I know that

1068
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 9: sounds like perfectly and overstatement, but just think about it.

1069
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 9: You get two rookies that have Pro Bowl type seasons

1070
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 9: and if and when they continue to get better, the

1071
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 9: biggest challenge is going to be for the people upstairs

1072
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 9: right in the checks, just trying to keep them all

1073
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 9: together and sign those long term contracts when they're up

1074
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 9: for Because if you could have those guys together and

1075
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 9: let's bring back Jalen Petrie, you know now that they

1076
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 9: know how to use him the right way to utilize

1077
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 9: their strengths. This could be one of those defensive backfields

1078
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 9: that you think of when you think of Richard Sherman

1079
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 9: and those guys, and.

1080
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 6: Dy Khalud joining us and d CJ.

1081
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 4: Stroud Moving forward after two seasons in this league, what

1082
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 4: are you thinking, what needs to be done? How should

1083
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 4: he spend the offseason and heading into twenty twenty five

1084
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 4: because it's going to be another campaign where everybody's coming

1085
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 4: for you.

1086
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 9: As crazy as it may sound, Look, did he have

1087
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 9: some of that sophomore slump? I guess if you look

1088
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 9: at the stats. But I still believe, and I think

1089
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 9: he proved it with the up and down season that

1090
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 9: he's still the face of the organization. He's still the

1091
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 9: guy that you can build him around and have Super

1092
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 9: Bowl aspirations. So he just needs to continue, like all

1093
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,800
Speaker 9: the great quarterbacks, to get better every single offseason. In

1094
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 9: my mind, if I was in his shoes, I would say,

1095
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 9: what are three things I can really approve on? Of

1096
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 9: course there's more, but what are three things that I

1097
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 9: can approve on and become that Pro Bowl player, that

1098
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 9: all pro type quarterback and working on that this offseason.

1099
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 9: But with his maturity, with his dedication, I still.

1100
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 7: Feel like the Texans are good hands with him under center.

1101
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:37,959
Speaker 1: Andy.

1102
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 6: What's his day like for players? The locker clean out day?

1103
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 2: I would imagine for some it's probably cathartic, like, Okay,

1104
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 2: the season was over at tough here, I'm ready to

1105
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 2: get to the offseason and move on.

1106
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: For some, it's probably like, man, I was in a

1107
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: hot streak.

1108
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 2: I want to keep going team depending on where they

1109
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 2: might be won three games, everybody wants to leave.

1110
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: What's this day like kind of locker cleanup for teams?

1111
00:54:58,560 --> 00:54:59,720
Speaker 7: You know, it's all of the above.

1112
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 9: If you end the season healthy, you always want to

1113
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 9: end the season hoisting up the you know, the trophy

1114
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 9: signifying that you won the Super Bowl. But if you

1115
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 9: end the season healthy, you end the season with great production.

1116
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 9: There's a part of you that has a relief feeling.

1117
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 9: And I know the fans don't want to hear that,

1118
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 9: and I'm not saying that. They're smiling and laughing on

1119
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 9: their way to Cancun, but there's a part of you

1120
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 9: that's like, you know what, thank god, I got another

1121
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 9: season under my belt. I ended health healthy, I know

1122
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,240
Speaker 9: where I need to pick up for the next season.

1123
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 9: So there's that relief, that sense of relief, but obviously

1124
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 9: disappointment too. You know, with the guys who are getting

1125
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 9: a little bit older, with the guys who their career,

1126
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 9: that window starting to close, to be that close, and

1127
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 9: when you watch film, you really think to yourself, man,

1128
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 9: we could have beat the Kansas City Cheese. And if

1129
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 9: you beat them, then everything's you know, wide open. It's

1130
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 9: up in the air. There's that what if mentality were

1131
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 9: you just starting to think, like, oh, if this would

1132
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 9: have gone our way, if this would have gone my way,

1133
00:55:58,320 --> 00:55:59,919
Speaker 9: we could still be playing. So it's just a little

1134
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 9: bit of a mixture of relief, disappointment, and just that

1135
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 9: whole whateff.

1136
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 4: I've got about twenty or so, I'll get the number

1137
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 4: unrestricted free agents that I'm looking at, and d what

1138
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 4: are they going through today? Because some of these guys

1139
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 4: will be back. They will sign some of these guys

1140
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 4: and it's not like a lot of these players or

1141
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 4: all of them are going to be getting huge deals elsewhere,

1142
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 4: but you know they're going to be playing in this league.

1143
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 4: And then you have some older players like Jerry Hughes,

1144
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 4: case Keenum, who knows, But what, by and large, what

1145
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 4: is the feeling and the thought today of an unrestricted

1146
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 4: free agent as your offseason begins and you don't know

1147
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 4: what the future is.

1148
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 9: Well, it depends like who they are. Like if we

1149
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 9: rewind to this time last year, you have a guy

1150
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 9: like Cashman, you know Cashman, who's it's Minnesota, right, let

1151
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 9: me make sure I'll say, yeah, it's right, Yeah.

1152
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 7: He's with Minnesota.

1153
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 9: But this is a guy. When he was with the Jets,

1154
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 9: I think he showed Thomas, but he got injured. Then

1155
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 9: he gets with the Texans and he really what he

1156
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 9: can do when he plays consistently. As much as the

1157
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 9: end of the season was a downer because you didn't

1158
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 9: win the Super Bowl, a guy like Cashman Grenard.

1159
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 7: Let's just be real.

1160
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 9: They're like, Man, in a few months, I'm going to

1161
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 9: be a multi multi millionaire because of what I've done.

1162
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 9: So those guys they're smiling, you know, they're smiling that

1163
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 9: they're a little bit anxious because they don't know where

1164
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 9: they're going to end up. They want to make sure

1165
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 9: they choose the right team, the right system. But this

1166
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 9: becomes business for them. This is when they're on their

1167
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 9: phone with their agent and they're saying, Hey, this is

1168
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 9: what I would take. I'll take X amount of percentage

1169
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 9: less if I stay in Houston. So they're having those

1170
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 9: type of conversations. But it's very exciting, depending on those

1171
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 9: guys if they haven't signed their big f you contract yet,

1172
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 9: so that there's excitement there. There's a lot of business decisions,

1173
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 9: there's a lot of praying, a lot of talking to

1174
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 9: your family, like hey, you know, what would we need

1175
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 9: to keep you happy? So there's that excitement, But then

1176
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 9: when you have guys like Jerry Hughes, Case Keenum, it's

1177
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,439
Speaker 9: kind of depressing because the end is near and there's

1178
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 9: a real thought that you've played your last down of football.

1179
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 9: So it just really depends who the free agent is

1180
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 9: and the type of thought process they're having right now.

1181
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you kind of stole my thunder India. I was

1182
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: going to ask you about that.

1183
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 2: Guys that are are looking at their football mortality.

1184
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 6: If you will, like, is this it?

1185
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: And then like what do I do? I know we

1186
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit on air. Off air.

1187
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 2: For you, you had a pretty good plan about what

1188
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 2: you wanted to do post football, and you've executed that

1189
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 2: to a t. But there are a lot of guys

1190
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 2: that don't. So for Jerry, for Case and maybe they

1191
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 2: have thought about it, but for guys that maybe even

1192
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 2: aren't even thinking about it, Guys that have maybe been

1193
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 2: in the league eight nine years and.

1194
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: It might be it. How difficult is it to kind

1195
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: of go through this process?

1196
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 2: And I know you'll go through the offseason going well,

1197
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 2: there might be a spot in LA there might be

1198
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 2: a spot in Kansas City, there might be a spot here.

1199
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 2: But for guys that are looking at their football mortality India,

1200
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 2: how tough is it daylight today, when it's really the

1201
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 2: last time that you're in school with your guys, it's

1202
00:58:58,280 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 2: very tough.

1203
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 9: And you the way you ended that question, John, because

1204
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 9: it's the last time you're with your guys. Even if

1205
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 9: you've done everything and you purchased properties that are producing income,

1206
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 9: You've interned with the right companies. I've talked to Kate

1207
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 9: and I don't want to put his business out there,

1208
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 9: but Case has a pretty good post career plan whenever

1209
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 9: he's ready for it. But it's still tough. You still

1210
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 9: go through that depression of man. I've been known as

1211
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,439
Speaker 9: John Harris the football player ever since I was ten,

1212
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 9: and now I'm John Harrison civilian. Even if money's not

1213
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 9: an issue, even if you do have something else that

1214
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 9: you love, there is absolutely nothing that you will do

1215
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 9: that will simulate having sixty seventy thousand people up or

1216
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 9: when you make a big play like I don't care

1217
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 9: how successful you are off the field, there is nothing

1218
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 9: that it can give you that same feeling. And it

1219
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 9: sounds crazy, but it's just real. And you just have

1220
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,439
Speaker 9: to learn how to adapt to that. But I don't

1221
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 9: care if you go from I don't care if you

1222
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 9: have the post career success of Michael Strahan or Tom

1223
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 9: Brady who's probably making more money off the field than

1224
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 9: he was on the field. You still can't feel that.

1225
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 7: Boy. So it takes getting used to it.

1226
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 9: Takes a few years, not months, a few years to

1227
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 9: kind of accept that you're not the active football player anymore.

1228
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 4: Indeed, Demiko Ryans two years as a head coach, and

1229
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 4: what an outstanding start for him and his head coaching career.

1230
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 4: Just amazing really when you think about it from an

1231
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 4: objective standpoint, But you know that he's going to have

1232
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 4: get betters for himself.

1233
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 6: Do you have any for him?

1234
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 4: What do you think heading into year three as the

1235
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 4: head coach of this organization?

1236
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 9: You know what, it's tough for me and I'm not

1237
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,959
Speaker 9: trying to wiggle out of that question. But I don't

1238
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 9: know where he could have said after a game, you

1239
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 9: know what, this was a bad call. I should have

1240
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 9: made this call because I'm not sure what duties he

1241
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 9: gives up on game day. But just any coach, whether

1242
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 9: it's Andy Reid, who's going straight to the Hall of

1243
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 9: Fame when he decides to retire, or an up and

1244
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 9: coming coach like Damiko Ryans. Just like what we talked

1245
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 9: about recording, you go back, you watch film the games

1246
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 9: that you lost, the games that you just your team

1247
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 9: didn't show up the Baltimore Ravens. You evaluate what did

1248
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 9: we do that week leading up to that game? Did

1249
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 9: we do anything different? Can we do anything different? So

1250
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 9: I feel you like a guy like Jamiko Ryan if

1251
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 9: he could just go back and self evaluate himself and

1252
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 9: ear marked the games where he felt like his team

1253
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 9: didn't show up and then just say, Okay, what did

1254
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 9: we do that week? Did we do anything different?

1255
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 7: What should we eliminate?

1256
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 9: So yeah, whether it's at the very top the McNair

1257
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 9: family to you know, the cafeteria lady, I think everybody

1258
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 9: could go back and kind of re evaluate the season

1259
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 9: and see where they could improve for next year. Because

1260
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 9: this is a good team, that's a great euclist and

1261
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 9: now with what Demiko has done the first two years,

1262
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 9: the expectation is you're gonna win the AFC South and

1263
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 9: now you need to get passed the second round of

1264
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 9: the playoffs.

1265
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 2: Andy, what's it like in Philly today, especially after winning

1266
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 2: the snow like they had yesterday.

1267
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 9: You know, it's really exciting in the Philly Then for

1268
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 9: me spending six years and three years in Washington, I'm

1269
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 9: getting both men.

1270
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 7: I'm hearing it from both ends.

1271
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 9: And the excitement in Philly is there because they feel

1272
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 9: like they're about to play a team that's kind of

1273
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 9: been playing over their head in the Washington Commanders. We'll

1274
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 9: see how that plays out, but there's this sense that, Okay,

1275
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 9: reality is gonna hit when Washington comes to town and

1276
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 9: Philadelphia they think they're gonna dominate that game. So it's

1277
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 9: gonna be exciting to see how that plays out.

1278
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 7: And talking about c J.

1279
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 9: Stroud, every time I'm watching Jad and Daniels, I'm just thinking, oh,

1280
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 9: Washington has their c J.

1281
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 7: Stroud.

1282
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 9: I mean, talk about a great young quarterback and similar

1283
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 9: type of guy off the field where you're not gonna

1284
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 9: have to worry about what he's doing off the.

1285
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 7: Field and you can be confident knowing that.

1286
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 9: He's gonna put in the work. So it's just it's

1287
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 9: exciting for the NFC East, except for the Cowboys of course,

1288
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 9: but you know, for the NFC East with Philadelphia Eagles,

1289
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 9: and the Washington Commanders playing for that title. It's it's

1290
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 9: pretty exciting up there.

1291
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 6: How about the Giants.

1292
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 2: Joe Shane's kid tells him to draft Jadi Daniels and

1293
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 2: John Era is saying, don't get rid of Saquon And

1294
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 2: now they're.

1295
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 6: Playing in the NFC Championship game.

1296
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 3: A hell for him.

1297
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 4: But they're doing fun, they're doing great. And d I

1298
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 4: don't know if you have a dog in the fight tonight.

1299
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 4: Ohio State, no Trade Dame.

1300
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 6: But what do you think?

1301
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 9: Well, my brain says Ohio State, and I hope this

1302
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 9: doesn't happen, but I have a feeling it's gonna be

1303
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 9: a dominant performance and it's gonna be one of those games.

1304
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 9: By third quarter you just feel like Ohio State's gonna win.

1305
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 9: But I'm rooting for Notre Dame. I mean, Coach Freeman,

1306
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 9: you know, spend a camp with the Houston Texans former

1307
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 9: football player, so you're always trying to lean towards those

1308
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 9: former football players to win it all. But if I

1309
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 9: was a betting man, I'll put my money on Ohio State.

1310
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 6: That's right. Former Texan Marcus free that's right.

1311
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: Sticking to it.

1312
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 2: Oh we got we got a dog in a fight.

1313
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 2: They did a good thing in the broadcast. They showed

1314
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 2: Jarrett and CJ, and I was like, oh yeah, notre

1315
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:55,840

Speaker 9: Let me apologize for the noise in the background. I

1323
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,880

Speaker 4: of weeks ago and we played a bunch of that

1341
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 4: on the air. It was I think I might have

1342

1343

Speaker 4: with those two guys, and they were talking about it

1344
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 4: morphed into prenups for some reason.

1345
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:55,040

1352
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 1: Oh, I can only imagine what that was like.

1353

01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 4: Here we go joining us now at studios. Head coach

1380
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 4: Tamiko O'Ryan's coach season is over. We'll talk about the

1381
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 4: season and reflect, but let's talk about the game against

1382
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 4: the Chiefs. You're right there, had a lot of opportunities,

1383
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 4: ultimately came up short.

1384
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 3: And thankful to be in this spot.

1385
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 10: Uh. Good game, right, We went in confident, went in

1386
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 10: with a good game plan. Ultimately we didn't make enough

1387
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 10: plays to win the game. This what it came down to.

1388
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 10: We had our opportunities in all three phases. We had

1389
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 10: opportunities right to help the team put the team in

1390
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 10: position to win. But Ultimately, we just we came up

1391
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 10: short right where it came down to our keys to

1392
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 10: victory for this game was just to execute right and

1393
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 10: we could come out of that game just executing in

1394
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 10: the critical areas. Again it's red zone, third down, like

1395
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 10: those two areas of where you had to win that game,

1396
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 10: and we did it play well enough offensively in the

1397
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 10: red zone where we needed to score more points to

1398
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 10: beat the Chiefs, and defensively like in the red zone

1399
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 10: there we gave up two touchdowns in the red zone

1400
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 10: and that's the difference in the game.

1401
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: All right, catch you, I'm ask you, weird one.

1402
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 2: I've tried to stay as busy as I possibly can,

1403
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 2: so I kind of keep things like out of my head,

1404
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 2: you know because as soon as I stop first second

1405
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 2: I think about the game, I think kind of the

1406
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 2: same things.

1407
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: Is it kind of like that for you?

1408
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 2: Kind of some frustration that like when you start to

1409
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 2: think about what happened. Because the one thing you and

1410
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 2: I talked about a lot this year is when the

1411
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 2: Texans beat the Texans and not a good thing when

1412
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 2: the Texans played the opponent the right way. I mean,

1413
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 2: you guys want a lot of football games, but did

1414
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 2: you have kind of momentary like he kept having moments

1415
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 2: kind of flashing your mind as your white Moments weekend.

1416
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, a lot of moments in my mind that are

1417
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 10: just take me back there and you see how close

1418
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,600
Speaker 10: you are. And it's that's the disappointing part about it,

1419
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 10: and that's what keeps me frustrated.

1420
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 3: Every time I think about the game.

1421
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 10: It's a frustration that rises up in me and I'm like, oh, man,

1422
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 10: if we still we're supposed to do like and that's

1423
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 10: that's the frustrating part. But it all comes down to, like, man,

1424
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 10: we gotta you just gotta get it done. And that

1425
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 10: was kind of my message to the guys that at

1426
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 10: halftime was Okay.

1427
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 7: We're here.

1428
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 3: We're right here in this moment.

1429
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 10: We're not talking about off season or how we come back,

1430
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 10: Like we're here in this moment halftime. You have something

1431
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,560
Speaker 10: to do about it right now, Like you can go

1432
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 10: and make the plays we need to make the win

1433
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 10: the game. Put us in position to win the game

1434
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 10: right here, right now, and just to not get it done,

1435
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 10: that's one part. When we had our opportunity.

1436
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 4: And after the half, you were down thirteen to three

1437
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 4: at one point after the half, you're down seven, you

1438
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 4: have that drive, and that drive enables you to put

1439
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 4: Joe Mixon in the end zone. I know you missed

1440
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 4: the extra point, but you battled back nicely right there.

1441
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 4: It's just it was hard to get over the hill

1442
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 4: to get to the other side.

1443
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, came out of the half and we

1444
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:23,680
Speaker 10: did an outstanding drive, right whatever, we needed to get

1445
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 10: it done.

1446
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 3: Like, that's how you want to see us, look right,

1447
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 3: running the.

1448
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 10: Ball, CJ making plays, throwing, scrambling Like, man, you talk

1449
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 10: about an impressive drive, and it's kind of that's what

1450
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 10: you need to do versus See, you've got to keep

1451
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 10: Patrick on the sideline, and that was what we needed

1452
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 10: to do. Eat clock score finished with points, but you

1453
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 10: needed to come back and do it again. We needed

1454
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 10: to get more stops defensively, Like we needed another drive,

1455
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 10: and we just didn't get that drive and we weren't

1456
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 10: able to get in the end zone again.

1457
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

1458
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 2: It was tough from that standpoint, but coach, when you

1459
01:09:56,120 --> 01:10:00,040
Speaker 2: go down thirteen to three, you have the ball and

1460
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 2: then you also get at the start of the second quarter. Now,

1461
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 2: you and I talked at halftime about this. That getting

1462
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,680
Speaker 2: that field goal right before the half to respond. I mean,

1463
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 2: obviously they did score a touchdown, but you needed to

1464
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:11,759
Speaker 2: respond at that point, and you did.

1465
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 1: And kind of hit that big field goal.

1466
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 2: Did you feel like that gave you a little bit

1467
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 2: of momentum to get into that big drive in a

1468
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 2: third quarter, which I would argue at third quarter drive

1469
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 2: is maybe the best one you had all year because

1470
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:24,639
Speaker 2: you overcame a number of things as well on that drive.

1471
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 2: But getting that three right before the half, how important

1472
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 2: was that one to make sure you got back within

1473
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 2: a score before half?

1474
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 3: That was huge for us.

1475
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 10: That's strategically, that's what you want to do, like you

1476
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 10: want to finish with the ball or finish with points

1477
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 10: going into halftime, and we did that. We were able

1478
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 10: to get the field goal, and then you know, that's

1479
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 10: why you kind of defer kickoff, so you can get

1480
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 10: the ball coming out of halftime and you can go

1481
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 10: down and add more points. Right, That's where you try

1482
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,680
Speaker 10: to lap your opponent, and we did that. We were

1483
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 10: able to do that put us in the game. And

1484
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 10: that's exactly how you want to drive the look, that's

1485
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 10: exactly how you want to finish the half. Of course,

1486
01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 10: you want touchdowns, you want to finish with seven, but

1487
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 10: ultimately you got to score more points to beat the Chiefs.

1488
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 4: Well, at the end of the day, you look at

1489
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 4: Mahomes through for under two hundred yards. You were able

1490
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 4: to really slow down their running game a lot. Was

1491
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 4: that a big key in keeping things close?

1492
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 7: It?

1493
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you look at it.

1494
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 10: I mean on the defensive side, I thought, you know,

1495
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 10: credit to our defensive line. They executed the game playing flawlessly,

1496
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 10: like we needed them to stop the run, which we

1497
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 10: did that with those guys, and we needed to keep

1498
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 10: Mahomes in the pocket. I think all for like one

1499
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 10: or two times he maybe got out, but it wasn't

1500
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 10: there weren't plays that really hurt us. You know, we

1501
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 10: still had an opportunity to come out and finish. But

1502
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 10: those guys did a really nice job of not allowing

1503
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 10: him to think, as we talked about last week, escape

1504
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 10: through the interior A and B gaps and they did that,

1505
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 10: force them to go to the sideline. But those guys

1506
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 10: played really well the entire game.

1507
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 2: For your defense, coach, You've got you had number of

1508
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 2: young guys, a number of guys playing their first divisional

1509
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 2: playoff game. In some cases, I'm playing their first playoff

1510
01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 2: game in general, what do you think this experience was

1511
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 2: for them going forward? Guys like Kamari, Guys like Kaylan.

1512
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 2: You're playing that first game, you know, in Kansas City

1513
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 2: and that kind of pressure environment. They played a lot

1514
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 2: of big games, they played in big college games, but

1515
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 2: there's something different about divisional playoff games.

1516
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 1: What do you think they kind of gained out of

1517
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 1: that moment being young players?

1518
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, I really liked how our young players showed up

1519
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 10: Man Kamari, Kailing. They were locked in. They were locked in,

1520
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 10: they got their job done. They were supposed to be,

1521
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 10: Like I mean, credit to those guys. They didn't blink

1522
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 10: in the moment. They were ready, they were prepared, and

1523
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 10: they played really well for us. So I think you know,

1524
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 10: there was They were hurt after the game, as should be,

1525
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 10: but they understand what it takes to get to the

1526
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 10: next lowest. All eleven guys being on the same page

1527
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 10: all the time, like dialed in from snap to whistle,

1528
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 10: every single snap is important when you're playing in a

1529
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 10: game of that magnitude like there, there can't be you know,

1530
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,599
Speaker 10: the mental mistakes and things that happened that hurt yourself.

1531
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 10: So those guys knew there, and I'm really pleased with

1532
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 10: how Kaitln Kamara, young guys will all young guy the

1533
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 10: way they played.

1534
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 4: Coach, I know you don't want to see all the sacks,

1535
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 4: but the passion game in general, as you threw the

1536
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 4: ball effectively for much of the night. And we know

1537
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,640
Speaker 4: how banged up yard receiver and who's not playing and

1538
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 4: who knows what the guys who are playing have and

1539
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 4: what they're nursing injury wise and all that, But what

1540
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:19,400
Speaker 4: about that facet of the game.

1541
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:20,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, CJ.

1542
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 10: Man, he competed and like he competed, like he brought

1543
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 10: all the intensity the energy that we needed from him.

1544
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 10: He brought that right and we just need to do

1545
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 10: a better job around him. It wasn't by far, wasn't

1546
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 10: good enough. From when it came to protecting standpoint or

1547
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 10: guys you know, just getting open beaten man coverage, they

1548
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 10: play sticky and coverage.

1549
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 3: Credit to the Chiefs, they've had some sticky.

1550
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 10: Coverages double NKO a lot where you're counting the other

1551
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 10: guys to step up and make plays. It couldn't be

1552
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 10: more proud of Huts Like what a game he had.

1553
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 10: He stepped up big time for us made some clutch catches,

1554
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 10: some really nice plays, just you see the competitive nature

1555
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 10: that HUDs has, which he's shown that all throughout the year,

1556
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 10: but in one of our biggest games, he stepped up

1557
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,560
Speaker 10: and probably had his best game of the year. But

1558
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 10: just overall, like you just needed to make some more

1559
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 10: plays and we still had some negative plays there they

1560
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 10: kind of put us behind and some long, longer yard

1561
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 10: of situations where we had to kind of climb out

1562
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:20,720
Speaker 10: of the hole.

1563
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 7: Again.

1564
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 2: Mark and I talked about this throughout the week. Coach,

1565
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 2: You're talking about the running game, and we always kind

1566
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 2: of come up with, Okay, how many points is it

1567
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 2: gonna take to win the game, how many how many

1568
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 2: rushing yards you think it's gonna take, And we both

1569
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 2: were like, man, if we could get to one twenty five,

1570
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 2: like we would feel pretty good about one twenty five.

1571
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 2: And it felt like we got to one twenty five

1572
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 2: I think at the end of that third quarter drive

1573
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 2: and it wasn't you know, Joe making something happen when

1574
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 2: it's not there. It was holes developing guys up front.

1575
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:49,759
Speaker 2: It felt like you were kind of winning the physical battle.

1576
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 2: Joe was able to slice through their Damien one time.

1577
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 2: What was really kind of happened with the run game?

1578
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 2: So I think about the old line this year, you

1579
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 2: had like seven eight weeks of the same old line,

1580
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 2: and then some injury started happening, then moving pieces, and

1581
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 2: then finally you know, then you've got to change on

1582
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 2: the vision playoff rock becsuse. You get shocked back, but

1583
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 2: yet you're able to run the ball really well against

1584
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 2: Kansas City for a long extended period of time. What

1585
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 2: really was kind of working, what's the online configuration? Was

1586
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 2: it just kind of everything was Joe vision. What was

1587
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 2: kind of working with the run game Saturday?

1588
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 10: I think when the old when the run game got

1589
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 10: kind of simplified there and our guys were just able

1590
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 10: to just tee off and do more of the double teams,

1591
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 10: just moving the guys in front of them. I think

1592
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 10: that scheme could kind of it fit us well and

1593
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 10: we were able to see some benefits from that. And

1594
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 10: Joe ran the ball well, what's he's done that all year? Like,

1595
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,639
Speaker 10: And the biggest thing in the Run game was us

1596
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 10: just getting the play started. In our games where we

1597
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 10: didn't run it well, there were a lot of edge

1598
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 10: pressures and things were they were quick penetration and the

1599
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 10: interior where we couldn't get the play started, like our

1600
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 10: backs had to stop and start it. Anytime you make

1601
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 10: a backstop and start, it's just hard to gain positive artists.

1602
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 3: So you've seen. Just cleaner blocking in the run game

1603
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:01,679
Speaker 3: allowed us to be effective there.

1604
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 4: Coach special teams. It's like the plumbing and electricity. When

1605
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 4: it's there, sometimes it's taken for granted. And you guys

1606
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 4: had such a good year on special teams by and large,

1607
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 4: but that was just a weird day for special teams.

1608
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, not our best day special teams wise, especially to

1609
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 10: start the game right. You start the game, you know,

1610
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 10: kick the ball off and you know looking for you know,

1611
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:24,720
Speaker 10: an energy booster, somebody to go down and make a

1612
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 10: big hit. That's what's normally happened on our kickoff team.

1613
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,680
Speaker 10: But to open the game and to give up a

1614
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 10: huge return like that, and it ultimately came down to fundamentals,

1615
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,839
Speaker 10: like we missed tackles. We had two three missed tackles

1616
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 10: on a play. We're not putting our body on, guys,

1617
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 10: We're kind of reaching head down. The fundamentals of tackling

1618
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 10: just didn't show up. And you know, we allow a

1619
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 10: huge return and then we get the silly penalty on

1620
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 10: top of that to put them in the red area

1621
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 10: to start. It's just not how you want to start

1622
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 10: a football game. And you know, of course in that

1623
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 10: moment in the playoff, like you need we got to

1624
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 10: make those We got to make those kids. Every point

1625
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 10: is vital, like we need every point and for us

1626
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 10: to you know, not execute on a couple of field

1627
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 10: goals and a pat like it's is not a good

1628
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 10: day for us, and it shows, you know, and then

1629
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 10: where we should be adding points. We need all the

1630
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 10: points we can get to go beat a team like

1631
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 10: KC on the road. All the points matter, and we

1632
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 10: didn't do that.

1633
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 7: I know.

1634
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:25,160
Speaker 2: There's always looking ahead, coach, you always think about what

1635
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 2: you can do next. I want to take a thirty

1636
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 2: thousand foot just look at your first two years and

1637
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 2: the progress from when you stepped in the building to

1638
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 2: where you are now and where you believe you're going.

1639
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 2: You'll get a AFC championship game, and it's a game

1640
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:41,560
Speaker 2: with Buffalo who he beat and the Chiefs who we

1641
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 2: had our chances to beat twice. Actually, where do you

1642
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 2: think you are in the progress of building this organization?

1643
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: In your eyes and the way you want it to

1644
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 1: be built.

1645
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 10: Yea, As I told our guys, it's more than in

1646
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 10: a team meeting, Like my job is to take this

1647
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 10: organization to new heights, right and heights for our organization

1648
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 10: is to get to the AFC Championship game. That's something

1649
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 10: we have not done right. We were close this year.

1650
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 10: We were close and we didn't get it done right.

1651
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 10: And you know when you get there now where everything

1652
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 10: is right there for you to get to the big dance.

1653
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 10: But for us to get over there, we have to

1654
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 10: improve in all areas. Like it's my job to make

1655
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 10: sure we're improving. We're getting better in all areas to

1656
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 10: help our players be successful and to get past this

1657
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 10: division round, which our organization has been there. I don't

1658
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 10: know what five or six times we've been there as

1659
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 10: an organization that we haven't gotten it done. So that's

1660
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,560
Speaker 10: my that's my goal, Like can we get to the

1661
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 10: AFC Championship game and have an opportunity right to go

1662
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 10: for the big one, But first we got to get

1663
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 10: past the divisional So that's everything moving forward.

1664
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 3: Like as we worked throughout.

1665
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 10: The off season, guys, we add to our team, like

1666
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 10: the way we work our mindset like if it if

1667
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 10: it's not AFC Championship is not on your mind, like,

1668
01:18:58,240 --> 01:18:59,600
Speaker 10: then I don't know what you're working for.

1669
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 3: Why you hear? So that's my mindset moving forward.

1670
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:06,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, we've had two good seasons and everybody want to

1671
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:09,600
Speaker 10: say what Man, I'm a competitor, like, I'm here to

1672
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,599
Speaker 10: win and that's all I think about. Put a lot

1673
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 10: of time, a lot of effort, a lot of dedication

1674
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 10: into this and it's only for me to win.

1675
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:18,639
Speaker 3: And that's what I'm about.

1676
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 4: So coach, between restricted and unrestricted free agents, it's a

1677
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 4: couple of dozen guys here, it's like half the fifty

1678
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 4: three man roster almost.

1679
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:28,600
Speaker 6: How do you go about assessing?

1680
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 7: All?

1681
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 4: Right, who do we want to go after? Who do

1682
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 4: we want to sign? You and Nick sit down? How

1683
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 4: do you go about this the next few weeks?

1684
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, me and Nichol sit down.

1685
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 10: We'll go through you know, first off, we start with

1686
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 10: our free agents, go through it and you know, see

1687
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 10: which guys who want to bring back and if they

1688
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 10: have an interest in coming back as well.

1689
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:47,599
Speaker 3: It has to work both ways.

1690
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 10: Then we also look at the pool of free agents

1691
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:52,519
Speaker 10: from the entire league and see you know where can

1692
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 10: we you know, add a guy to improve our roster.

1693
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 10: And that's really from now until the start of next season,

1694
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 10: and it's myself and Nick working together to how do

1695
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 10: we improve our roster, how do we get better? What

1696
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 10: players can we add to make our roster better? And uh,

1697
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 10: that'll be our focus. It's a fun focus, you kind

1698
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 10: of you know, divvy from game planning to now player

1699
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 10: acquisition mode and now my scouting eyes are on and

1700
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 10: I'm looking forward to adding the right guys, guys who

1701
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 10: have the right mindset, that swarm mentality. That's what we need,

1702
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 10: like guys have that right mindset and has that special

1703
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 10: work ethic. We get those guys in and we know

1704
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 10: they can help us.

1705
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 2: The other part of the coaches in the business of

1706
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 2: sports and being a coach's kid, I know how this

1707
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 2: one goes about coaches. You retain coaches, you don't. Coaches retire,

1708
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 2: coaches move on, they take different jobs. Now you got

1709
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 2: and I would imagine there's probably some excitement to that.

1710
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 2: There might be some new people that bring in new ideas,

1711
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 2: new blood, all that kind of stuff.

1712
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 6: But how difficult is that aspect of it?

1713
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:56,720
Speaker 2: This group of coaches that you work so closely with

1714
01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 2: that you you will have some changes no matter what happen,

1715
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 2: no matter how good it is, there will be guys

1716
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 2: that move on, there will be guys that come in.

1717
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 1: How off is that part of it to kind of

1718
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:07,639
Speaker 1: build that aspect as well?

1719
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's always to John and tell our team like coaches, players, staff,

1720
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 10: Like every year, every year I've been in the NFL

1721
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 10: almost twenty years now, like it's never stayed the same exactly,

1722
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 10: Like there's always changes that happen. And so with that,

1723
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 10: it's like when I go into a year, like I'm

1724
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 10: pouring every single thing I have into that year with

1725
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 10: that team because this is our one chance with this team.

1726
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 10: Like next year it'll be different, saying with coaches, players, staff,

1727
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 10: like it'll.

1728
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:40,599
Speaker 3: Change, it'll be different.

1729
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 10: It'll be new people here and we'll hear re said,

1730
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,840
Speaker 10: and you know, go on our journey with twenty twenty five.

1731
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 4: Yeap, What is today like when you're having those final

1732
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 4: meetings with players into the offseason and do you do

1733
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,679
Speaker 4: every single one or do you delegate with the staff?

1734
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 6: How does all that work? Coach?

1735
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 3: Now, we have we call exit meetings with our guys.

1736
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 10: So I start with a team meeting, like just saying,

1737
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:06,640
Speaker 10: you know, my final thoughts on the season and how

1738
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 10: and they're really just really thanking our guys, you know,

1739
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,680
Speaker 10: for the effort and the work that they put in

1740
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 10: throughout the year. And then we'll have our guys break

1741
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:17,600
Speaker 10: out and they meet with their position coaches. They're a

1742
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 10: good number of guys that I meet with personally in

1743
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 10: my office. I've been going back and forth talking to

1744
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 10: a lot of guys by a lot of different things.

1745
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 3: And the main thing I want to implore.

1746
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 10: To all of our young guys, especially our rookies, like

1747
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 10: how do you attack this off season right? It's very

1748
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 10: important how you attack the off season because this will

1749
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 10: be the first time that our rookies like they have

1750
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 10: a lot of time, a lot of free time on

1751
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 10: their hands, and like, how do you feel that how

1752
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 10: do you structure it the right way? So it's just

1753
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 10: encouraging a lot of our guys to make sure, you know,

1754
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:50,720
Speaker 10: they're here taking advantage of the opportunity they have to

1755
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:53,640
Speaker 10: work here, work out here with our strength staff, to

1756
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 10: work out be here with our nutrition, like utilizing the

1757
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 10: resources that we have for our guys. Just want to

1758
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:00,640
Speaker 10: make sure they take advantage of that all right.

1759
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 2: We care about a lot of people in this building,

1760
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 2: but we care about you almost worth than anybody else.

1761
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:08,439
Speaker 2: What about you getting away kind of just mentally physically,

1762
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 2: just stepping away from everything and having a break to

1763
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:13,560
Speaker 2: get you know, once you get back to you know,

1764
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 2: the real grind of this, once you get back to

1765
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 2: the combine and all that stuff. You getting away, you're

1766
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 2: gonna get kind of kind of some rest and kind

1767
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:20,679
Speaker 2: of a breakaway.

1768
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 10: We'll see four babies at home, not a lot of rest,

1769
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:28,679
Speaker 10: but I'll get I'll get away. That's a different conference, sure,

1770
01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:32,679
Speaker 10: but no, I'll take my time to just recharge, reset

1771
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 10: and you know, still a lot of decisions and things

1772
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 10: that have to be made here and if you're never

1773
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 10: really off, always working, but definitely take the time to

1774
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 10: just you know, reflect and also recover and reset as well.

1775
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 7: I need it.

1776
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 4: A couple of reflection questions here. Boy, this season, I

1777
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 4: know it's still fresh from what happens Saturday, but you

1778
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,680
Speaker 4: look back. You won the division ten wins. You want

1779
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 4: a playoff game, you know, you look at it. You're

1780
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,719
Speaker 4: in the final four of the AFC again. It's awesome.

1781
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 4: So is there a moment or a sequence of events

1782
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 4: this season that will really stand out to you, coach,

1783
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 4: other than the postseason, the regular season, getting back to

1784
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 4: back AFC South championships. Is there anything in that mix

1785
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:15,280
Speaker 4: that really stands out?

1786
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I think just a couple of games that

1787
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 3: stand out.

1788
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 10: I think like the game versus the Bears was that

1789
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 10: Sunday night, Yeah, in the early one for early in

1790
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 10: the year, Like seeing our guys the way they played

1791
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 10: it was.

1792
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:32,639
Speaker 3: It was really cool to watch that game beating Buffalo.

1793
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:37,720
Speaker 10: You're at home on Kayimi's you know, final second kick there,

1794
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 10: seeing how excited our guys were in being able to

1795
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 10: win the division, but sitting at home doing it, sitting

1796
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 10: at home watching watching the game on the cow.

1797
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 3: To my family.

1798
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 10: Being able to win a division that way a lot

1799
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 10: less hectic than our first year having to win a

1800
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 10: division on the road in Indy. So, man, it's a

1801
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 10: lot of a lot of proud moments that I've seen

1802
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 10: throughout the year, and I think probably the most probable

1803
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 10: is just seeing how many different guys, different lineups we had,

1804
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 10: and seeing different guys step in at different moments of

1805
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 10: the year and just go go play well, like no matter.

1806
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:16,639
Speaker 10: We never made excuses for injuries or this guy being

1807
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 10: out suspended or that. It was no excuses, no explanations.

1808
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 10: Guys just grinded. Guys worked hard all throughout the year

1809
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 10: and whatever it took for us, like, we were able

1810
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:30,639
Speaker 10: to win enough to have our opportunity right to get

1811
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 10: into a postseason and that's always the goal for us.

1812
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:35,639
Speaker 10: So I'm proud of our guys for winning the AFC

1813
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 10: South again and giving us a chance to go win

1814
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,639
Speaker 10: it all. You know, we just learned a lot throughout

1815
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 10: this year, learning like what it takes. What does the

1816
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 10: work have to look like on a consistent basis for

1817
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:47,840
Speaker 10: us to get over the hump?

1818
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 9: All right?

1819
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:48,599
Speaker 11: What more?

1820
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 4: The Amagy Bank asked coach question of the week. You

1821
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 4: have some Pro bowlers and you've played in Pro Bowls.

1822
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 4: In fact, I remember you an O nine coach in Miami.

1823
01:25:58,400 --> 01:25:59,679
Speaker 4: You were hitting people very.

Speaker 10: Anytime that ball is Yeah, man, I just don't want

1827
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 10: to speed, like, go play hard, play fast.

1828
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 4: How would you like to be these Pro Bowl games?

1829

Speaker 2: just catching punts out in the field, on the field

1893
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:19,760
Speaker 2: whether it didn't know whether Robert Woods was gonna go,

1894
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 2: so he had to be ready to go, and he was,

1895
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 2: and he had some good moments with this team. You know,

1896
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 2: not a ton, but gave a little bit in the

1897

1903
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 2: a wide receiver kind of a running back wide receiver

1904
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:44,720
Speaker 2: at Ohio State, he will come back.

1905
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:45,599

Speaker 2: Yeast Russ Yeast, who got to the team just.

1911
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably about five six weeks ago.

1912
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:09,799
Speaker 2: So those right now are the players that have signed

1913
01:30:10,120 --> 01:30:13,760
Speaker 2: reserve future contracts. There will be probably I don't know,

1914
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,400
Speaker 2: seven to eight, maybe more in the next how many

1915
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 2: ever weeks, but there will be a lot of Texans

1916
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:21,720
Speaker 2: news and the day after the Super Bowl, Mark and

1917
01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:23,600
Speaker 2: I will be back to break it all down. I

1918
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier. Nate Ali is taking an interview with the

1919
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons. He had been with Jeff Ulbrick up with

1920
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 2: the Jets a few years ago. Aulbrick has just been

1921
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:36,479
Speaker 2: named the defensive coordinator for the Falcons again. So Nate's

1922
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:40,160
Speaker 2: interviewing for that job, which I hate, but I would

1923
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,200
Speaker 2: love it for Nate's just another opportunity for him.

1924
01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 1: He's done a really, really great job. Great dude.

1925
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 2: He and Rod Wright were tremendous to that defensive line.

1926
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:49,799
Speaker 2: So there's a little bit of news for your Texans.

1927
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:53,519
Speaker 2: So let's finish up this year of Texans All Access

1928
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:56,720
Speaker 2: with my three favorite plays. And I don't know, I

1929
01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:59,320
Speaker 2: haven't been in particular word, so I'm just gonna go chronologically.

1930
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:06,680
Speaker 2: First came in Week five against the Buffalo Bills. The

1931
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:08,720
Speaker 2: Texans the Bills with tot to toe the Texas at

1932
01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:10,920
Speaker 2: twenty three lead, The Bills clawed back in it, tied

1933
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 2: it up at twenty. The Texans ended up getting a

1934
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 2: stop with the Bills.

1935
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 1: Deep in their own territory. They had to punt Robert

1936
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:18,719
Speaker 1: Woods great return.

1937
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:19,640
Speaker 7: C A.

1938
01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:22,160
Speaker 2: Stroud with like I know, ten seconds left or less,

1939
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:26,720
Speaker 2: found Daryagumbwally for about seven yards and it set up

1940
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 2: a fifty nine yard field goal attempt to beat the

1941
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 2: Bills going the AFC Championship game. It is one of

1942
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 2: my three favorite plays of the year. Kimie Fairband from

1943
01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:37,200
Speaker 2: fifty nine to win it.

1944
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:41,560
Speaker 3: I mean, there's not a butt in a seat in

1945
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:42,360
Speaker 3: this stadium.

1946
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:45,040
Speaker 6: Fifty nine yard attempt for the win.

1947
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 12: Weeks with the snap, Tommy Townsend with the hold, and

1948
01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:54,200
Speaker 12: Kaday Fairbairn with a chance to give the Texans the victory.

1949
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 12: Here's the snap by Weeks the spot. Here's the kick

1950
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 12: by fairbarn has the distance and it's good.

1951
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:07,439
Speaker 13: Fairbear wins it at the buzzer. The Texans beat the

1952
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:14,400
Speaker 13: Bills fifty nine yards to the dub on each town

1953
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 13: Day twenty three twenty.

1954
01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:22,680
Speaker 3: Wasn't the prettiest, but it might have been good. From

1955
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:28,680
Speaker 3: seventy he hit it and it wasn't high, It just

1956
01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:31,160
Speaker 3: was long, inaccurate.

1957
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 6: The operation ran smoothly.

1958
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 12: Fair Beard drove it through the uprights to give the

1959
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 12: Texans the victory four and one out of a year,

1960
01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:47,840
Speaker 12: beating Buffalo.

1961
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:51,599
Speaker 6: And sending a message in the AFC.

1962
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 1: Standing right under those uprights, man, I can see that

1963
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: ball coming down, and I was just like Mark. He

1964
01:32:57,120 --> 01:32:59,840
Speaker 1: made it he made it. That was incredible. All right,

1965
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 1: let's go to Monday night.

1966
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 2: Texas has lost a couple of prime thomers, a row,

1967
01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:06,720
Speaker 2: a couple of gut punches lost to the Jets, blew

1968
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:09,320
Speaker 2: a lead to the Lions, lost that one went to

1969
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:13,680
Speaker 2: Dallas and really kind of the game was kind of

1970
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:16,320
Speaker 2: going to Texans way, but they're just not putting it

1971
01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:22,439
Speaker 2: away until this play. Derek Barnett sack Jalen Peatree forced

1972
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:25,599
Speaker 2: fumble Derek Barnett scooping scores play number.

1973
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:29,360
Speaker 4: Two, second and six for Dallas from their forty Cooper

1974
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 4: rush with daddle to his left, bunch formation, light after motion.

1975
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:39,360
Speaker 6: Rush in trouble stripsack. Who's got it? It's still loose, Texas,

1976
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:41,559
Speaker 6: kick it up. Here's Barnett on the run.

1977
01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 13: Twenty fifteen, ten to five touchdown scoop score Derek.

1978
01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:57,439
Speaker 11: Barnett Tyler Geiden, thank you very very much because he

1979
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:02,840
Speaker 11: picked up the strip sack and tried to run Petree

1980
01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:07,719
Speaker 11: with a great play to disengage the ball from Geiden,

1981
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 11: and it's Barnett that picks it up and puts it

1982
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:12,000
Speaker 11: in the end zone.

1983
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 4: Boy, I want to hit by Petrie to jar that

1984
01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:17,679
Speaker 4: ball loose Barnett with the run to the end zone,

1985
01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:18,240
Speaker 4: and it.

1986
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 2: Was in that end zone where all the Texans fans

1987
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 2: were and I just made a note just look up

1988
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 2: there and the joy and happiness I was feeling they

1989
01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 2: were feeling.

1990
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:26,639
Speaker 1: It was really cool.

1991
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 2: And finally a guy that when he signed here, he's

1992
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:32,280
Speaker 2: taking a lot of heat for whatever reason, and he's

1993
01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:35,760
Speaker 2: just contributed this team since twenty twenty. He's one of

1994
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:40,200
Speaker 2: the longest dandy Texans. He deserves and deserved this moment.

1995
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:43,879
Speaker 2: Eric Murray picked six against the Chargers in the wildcard

1996
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:44,479
Speaker 2: playoff win.

1997
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:46,920
Speaker 4: Back to back three and outs, and now the Chargers

1998
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:49,040
Speaker 4: have the ball back at their twenty eight yard line,

1999
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:49,720
Speaker 4: first and ten.

2000
01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 6: Herbert shotgun one back.

2001
01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:56,960
Speaker 4: Herbert looks it over, steps up to the line, steps back,
