1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,320
Speaker 1: What's happened? Everybody?

2
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 2: Welcome to Wednesday edition of Texans All Access from the

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: Hunday at Texans Radios.

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 3: Do you.

5
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: I'm your host, John Harris, Football and all the side

6
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: of the reporter for your Houston Texans. So glad to

7
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: be with you as we get ready for the New

8
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: England Patriots on Sunday in Foxboro. Texans have never won there.

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: That hopefully is something we could change now. We talked

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 2: about this getting ready for the Vikings game. We had

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: never beaten the Vikings and we still have never beaten

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 2: the Vikings. So hopefully some of those never haves turn into, oh,

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: we finally did, like beating Dallas in Dallas, that would

14
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 2: be a good one. Beating the Patriots in Foxboro. There'd

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: be another one beating Lamar Jackson. Never beating Lamar Jackson.

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of never haves that hopefully can

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: go opposite of the way things went in Minnesota a

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: few weeks ago.

19
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: That's in the rear view.

20
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: So the Buffalo Bills also in the rearview because we're

21
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: getting ready for the New England Patriots. So we got

22
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: a lot for you today. We're gonna have Mark's gonna

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: join me to talk to our first guest as always

24
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: on Wednesday.

25
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: Nick Cassario.

26
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: So Mark will joined me in just a little bit.

27
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: We're also got men behind him, Mike's. It's been a

28
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: little while since Bob soci has joined us from New England.

29
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: I love Bob great dude. Got a chance to meet

30
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: him over the years because we played the Patriots fifteen sixteen,

31
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: sixteen playoffs, seventeen eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty one, and then

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: a three year break, so we haven't seen him since

33
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: twenty one. But I love when Bob jumps on with

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: Mark's always good stuff.

35
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: So we got that. We got Tim Settle but a

36
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: great game last week against former team, the Left Bull Bills.

37
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: I thought he played pretty well. He will join us.

38
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: We had a good time talking with Tim. That's gonna

39
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: be a fun interview and we will go in the

40
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: lab with one. Andrew Doherty aka Druseph will join me

41
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: for in the Lab. That's a fun discussion talking about

42
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: the Bills game a little bit and then talking about

43
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: getting ready to take.

44
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: On the New England Patriots.

45
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: Now the New Yon Patriots for a long long time

46
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: sank their talent is into a young talent evaluator who

47
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: is well better student to be a Texan.

48
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: His name is Nick Cassario.

49
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: He is our general manager and he sat down with

50
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: us the studio talk little bills, but then also talk

51
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: about going back to Foxborough and anything in between.

52
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: Here we go, me, Mark and Nick Cassio.

53
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: In studio with us.

54
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 4: It's executive vice president and general manager, Nick Cassio.

55
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: Nick, great to see you. How's it going, fellow, It's

56
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 3: good to be here.

57
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 4: Well on to New England, but not quite yet. Let's

58
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: review for a moment the victory over the Bills and

59
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 4: some mistakes in the fourth quarter, but down the stretch

60
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 4: you were basically flawless and fair.

61
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: Baron hits the game winner.

62
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, a number of contributions from another different players played

63
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 5: well situationally there at the end of the game.

64
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 6: Third quarter kind of hit a rough patch.

65
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 5: The two turnovers were a big part of the game,

66
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 5: so it kind of gave them some life, put them

67
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 5: in a position in the fourth quarter. We were really

68
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 5: able to execute in all three phases. Rarely get stops

69
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 5: on defense with John that was something we talked about

70
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 5: before the game, where Baibley get stops and then get

71
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 5: the ball for the offense. The offense was able to

72
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 5: convert the opportunities, and then the special teams were a

73
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 5: huge part of the finish there punt, punt return, the

74
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 5: completion and then Kayimi with a clutch kick. So we

75
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 5: talked about going into the game it was going to

76
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 5: take pretty much everybody and we were hopefully were going

77
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 5: to be able to play complimentary football and that was

78
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 5: on display in the fourth quarter against a good a

79
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 5: good football team.

80
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: Nick.

81
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: You we thought about it during the game, like, Okay,

82
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: you know, Josh is not doing really really well, you know,

83
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: or Okay, you look up at the end, you're like,

84
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: he's niah thirty for one hundred and thirty one, had

85
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: one touchdown where he hit Keon, which was more about

86
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: Keon than it was about Josh.

87
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 7: What was the key in really slowing him down?

88
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: Because he had been in obviously an MVP level all

89
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff in the games prior, but he

90
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: was nigh thirty thirty percent against you guys, what was

91
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: kind of the key in slowing him down in the

92
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: passing game?

93
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 5: Sure, and he's he's a great player, and we knew

94
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 5: in order to have success as a team, we're going

95
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 5: to have to take him away offensively in some respects.

96
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 5: He gained a lot of yards you know, on the ground,

97
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 5: which own in the game, we knew it was going

98
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 5: to be a little an issue. But from the passing

99
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 5: game standpoint. Dr talks about this a lot, the coordination

100
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 5: between the rush and the coverage. So we were tight

101
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 5: in the receivers. The rush was able to get maybe

102
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 5: around the quarterback. We only had the one sack, but

103
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 5: we were able to kind of disrupt the quarterback. So

104
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 5: when you put those two dynamics together, it leads to

105
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 5: a good pass defense. So it's a credit to the front,

106
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 5: it's a credit to the linebackers are a big part

107
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 5: of that as well, as He's had a number of

108
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 5: plays where he was tracking the quarterback. And then the

109
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 5: coverage in the secondary, Kamari Staying, Petrie, Eric Murray were

110
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 5: on the receivers and just made him force him to

111
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 5: make some contested catches and fortunately we were able to

112
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 5: either get a hand in there.

113
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 6: He missed a few.

114
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 5: So when you put all that together, that's why the

115
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 5: result ended up the way that it did.

116
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Demiko was talking about it. I know you want

117
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: to see sacks. I all you want to see disruptive

118
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 4: plays in the backfield, but disruption can happen in a

119
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 4: variety of ways. Right, get the quarterback off his launching point,

120
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 4: that kind of thing.

121
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 5: The discipline of the pass rush is important, and when

122
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 5: you want to make sure against the quarterback, look like

123
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 5: that he doesn't have a lot of space. The times

124
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 5: where he had some space or had an opening, or

125
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 5: maybe the rush wasn't as coordinated as we would have hoped,

126
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 5: he was able to squirre it out of there and

127
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 5: he scrambled for over many yards. So but then there

128
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 5: were other times where we were rushing four or five,

129
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 5: we were able to stay in front and he had

130
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 5: to either find a launch point, move, couldn't see through

131
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 5: the the line, whatever it was. So that's where you

132
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 5: talk about you're not necessarily getting sacks per se. But

133
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 5: I think we ended up with sixteen seventeen total pressures.

134
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 5: So we were disrupting the quarterback and then when you

135
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 5: tie in the tight coverage, that's good pass defense.

136
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 7: Nick. This is more about kind of procedural sort of stuff.

137
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: But on Saturday, we get email from OMAR and PR

138
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: that Aziz has been put on the injury report with

139
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 2: an illness and you don't know whether he's going to go.

140
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 2: So when you go into a game, how far do

141
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: you go down? Plan B, Plan C, Plan D.

142
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: Well, you know, if he can't go, okay, we've got

143
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: to do this.

144
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: Well that might mean we got to take this guy

145
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: from here and we got to move this guy over here.

146
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: Maybe this guy's inactive, because how tough does that become

147
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: when it's just one player and a domino falls? And

148
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: maybe before she did a lot to do a lot

149
00:05:59,480 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: of different things.

150
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, usually Friday afternoon you kind of have the final

151
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 5: injury report based on what happened during the course of

152
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 5: the week, and if something happens between Friday evening and

153
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 5: to Saturday, from a compliance standpoint, like, we have to

154
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 5: report that to the league. So Azase wasn't feeling well.

155
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 5: So that's something that we had to disclose. And then

156
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 5: the plan is, all right, if he can't go, what

157
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 5: are our alternatives and options? Right, So I'd say, in

158
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 5: that particular case, Billy Matt dr get together. Here's how

159
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 5: we're going to handle it. And I think the big

160
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 5: thing is just don't blink. So whatever the circumstances situation is,

161
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 5: you just have to deal with it. You can't change it.

162
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 5: You just have to find a solution. So I think

163
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 5: we've talked about this on the show. It's just fixed

164
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 5: problems and find solutions. So even though it happens late,

165
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 5: you're always prepared for a contingency if you have to

166
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 5: go to a Plan B or whatever it might be.

167
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 4: Can you take us through some of the elements of

168
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: when a player goes through what Nico went through, Where

169
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 4: all right, he goes into the tent, their conversations, the

170
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 4: coaches have to adjust because maybe no longer a part

171
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: of the game plan you go to the locker room

172
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 4: or not that kind of thing.

173
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, during the course of the game you're gonna probably

174
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 5: to modify some things as go, whether it's schematically because

175
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 5: the team is doing something maybe a little different than

176
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 5: they showed, or you lose a player, so do you

177
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 5: have to adjust some calls. So that's part of coaching.

178
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 5: It happens to essentially everybody in the league. So he

179
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 5: just make some adjustments. Other people have to kind of

180
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 5: assume that responsibility and a role, not necessarily actual tangible production,

181
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 5: but they have to assume the assignments and responsibility. So

182
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 5: that situation in the second half, you know Nico wasn't

183
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 5: available or whenever he got hurt, Hutch played a little

184
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 5: bit more, made some plays, made a third down conversion there.

185
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 6: So it's just being prepared.

186
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 5: This is where you have to be able to rely

187
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 5: on everybody that's a at the game. They always have

188
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 5: to be ready at moments notice for whenever the opportunity comes.

189
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: We've seen players go into the locker room before though

190
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: and come back out and play. So how does that

191
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 4: communication go with the medical staff?

192
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 5: And yeah, they get the information to dr and whatever

193
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 5: respective side of the ball that his offense or defense,

194
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 5: and know is he available, is he going to return

195
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 5: or he's still being evaluated further for some complication. So

196
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 5: that information needs to get to the people that it

197
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 5: affects the most. And probably Frank is involved in that

198
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 5: as well, and if they have a role in the

199
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 5: kicking game. So it happens in real time, you have

200
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 5: to be ready to adjust and adapt. So as long

201
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 5: as we kind of know what the status and the

202
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 5: situation is, then we can adjust accordingly.

203
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: Nick, the last thirty five seconds or so, just the

204
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: way that you talked about the situational, those situations, as

205
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: my wife has said, everything is a situation, but there

206
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 2: are some that are more prevalent than others. How often

207
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: you guys go through different machinations of even whether it's

208
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: on the field or not, just discuss, Hey, what would

209
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: we do in this situation. We got three timeouts, We've

210
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: got this, we got no timeouts, we got this. How

211
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: often you guys kind of go through situations and look

212
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 2: at other games that have happened to kind of help you,

213
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: kind of look at those scenarios that could possibly take place.

214
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 6: All the above.

215
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 5: So during the course of the week, you have folks

216
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 5: that are looking at what's going on in the league.

217
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 5: This came up during the course of the game, spend

218
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 5: time with Demiko during the course of the week, there's

219
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 5: a specific time, kind of go through it, and then

220
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: you're just prepared for here's how we would handle that situation.

221
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 6: And we've talked about this.

222
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 5: You don't know when those situations are going to come up,

223
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 5: but you want to be prepared and you kind of

224
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 5: have to talk them through as the game is going

225
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,479
Speaker 5: on in anticipation.

226
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 6: Really got to stay two to three plays ahead. Okay,

227
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 6: here's what it is.

228
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 5: Green light here, or if we get in a situation,

229
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 5: you're ready to call a time whatever it might be,

230
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 5: but end a half, end a game like the ability

231
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 5: to execute in those situations, it's going to determine the

232
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 5: fate of your team and kind of what happens during

233
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 5: the course of the game. So for the most part,

234
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 5: we did a pretty good job there at the end,

235
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 5: which led to the result that it did.

236
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 4: Let's go through the Daria Gounbiwal appreciation here, Nick, because

237
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 4: another one this week.

238
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 3: Because we have role model players.

239
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 4: Andre Johnson's in the Hall of Fame, do what he did,

240
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 4: certain guys who have that kind of stature. Here's Dara

241
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: who is also a role model, right with everything he

242
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 4: contributes to the team in every.

243
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 5: Way, dependable, consistent, reliable professional, and he's been that way

244
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 5: since we acquired him, however many years ago. That was

245
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 5: so Dara's always been kind of a role player throughout

246
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 5: the course of his career when he's had to play offensively,

247
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 5: which when you go back and look at his career

248
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 5: in Tampa Bay, and there was a period where he

249
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 5: was a actually the third down back or the sub back,

250
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 5: and he had to play a little bit in early

251
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 5: downs as well. And he's been a very dependable, reliable,

252
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 5: productive player in a kicking game as well. So his

253
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 5: value is on fourth down. So typically your value on

254
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 5: fourth down will determine how big of a role you

255
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 5: may have offensively or defensively. And in our circumstance, we've

256
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 5: been down running back wise. But Dara is always prepared.

257
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 5: He's the model of professionalism how you want to handle yourself.

258
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 5: I think Demico talked about this in terms of Robert

259
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 5: Woods just for younger players, like what's the model? Robert

260
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 5: Woods is the model, and I would say in a

261
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 5: lot of respects, Dara fits that bill as well. He's

262
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 5: always prepared, he's always ready to go, and it's important

263
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 5: to have players like that that you can count on

264
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 5: in critical situations when you need them the most. And

265
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 5: Dara over the last couple of weeks has been as

266
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 5: instrumental as our success offensively as anybody.

267
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: Nick Steph had a pretty solid ball game, and I

268
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: know that's got to be tough when you face your

269
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: former team in a sense, and we'll get to that

270
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: a little bit, but what do you think of the

271
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: way Steph performed with all the emotion that he talked

272
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: about after the game that he was sort of feeling

273
00:10:59,320 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: in that game.

274
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, Stuff's handled himself in that game like he's handled

275
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 5: himself when he walked in the building. I mean, he's

276
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 5: been the same guy since we traded for him and

277
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 5: acquired him. He's got a great attitude. He's emotional in

278
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 5: a good way. He's very competitive, he cares a lot

279
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 5: about winning, he wants to do the right things, and

280
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 5: he's productive when he's on a field. So I mean,

281
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 5: I don't know how many targets he's had during the

282
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 5: course of the year, but typically when the ball is

283
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 5: thrown to him, he catches it. So talk about dependability

284
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 5: and just making the plays when you need them. And

285
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 5: a lot of his completions the other day were for

286
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 5: first down, so credit to Stuff. The way Steph practices

287
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 5: is that shows up on game day. So there's a

288
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 5: correlation between how you prepare and what you do during

289
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 5: the course of the week and then what you end

290
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 5: up doing on game day, And certainly he's a great

291
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 5: example of that.

292
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 4: Nick, it's clear this team is a great positive attitude.

293
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 4: There's something about it. It's the ultimate intangible. But can

294
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: you speak to that a little bit? What you sense

295
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 4: in this bunch last year and this year.

296
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think people enjoy coming to the building, coming

297
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 5: to work, and I think the environment that Demiko creates

298
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 5: is second to none. So he's got great energy, he's consistent.

299
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 5: The players know what to expect on a day to

300
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 5: day basis, what the standard of performance is. Here are

301
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 5: the things that we need to improve and get better

302
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 5: and just be yourself and just have a very i

303
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 5: would say purposeful mindset when it comes to work, because

304
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: any end, it's about the work. So here are the

305
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 5: things that we have to do each week in order

306
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 5: to win the game. Make sure we're prepared, making sure

307
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 5: that you go through your process, and just have you know,

308
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 5: fun doing what you're doing. So football is hard. Life

309
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 5: is hard, but there's no reason we need to make

310
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 5: it any harder than it is. So create a good environment,

311
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 5: provide the players with the resources that they need in

312
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 5: order to be successful, and just try to have a

313
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 5: positive attitude and just keep pressing forward and doing the

314
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 5: right thing.

315
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 6: So, I mean, it's a credit.

316
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 5: It starts with the Miko, and it's the credit that

317
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 5: the players and the leadership that we have in place

318
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 5: that that's the environment that we have in the building.

319
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: Okay, good bills, win whenever the Bills excellent three twenty,

320
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: it's time to move on.

321
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if you knew this. We're to a

322
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 3: place called Foxborough.

323
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're not there, so we won't

324
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: ask you how to get there, but I would assume

325
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: you know the team's kid.

326
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 7: It's kind of important on your patriots, Nick.

327
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kind of interesting kind of studying them here

328
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 5: a little bit over the last you know, a few days.

329
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 5: But it's it's almost a dichotomy of chains versus continuity

330
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 5: because you kind of see a little bit of both.

331
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 5: So starting with Gerrod, I mean, Girod's first year as

332
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 5: a head coach, but has experience in the program, played there,

333
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: his coach there. And then defensively DeMarcus Covington's defensive coordinator

334
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 5: who we heard DeMarcus kind of as a defensive quality

335
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 5: control assistance, kind of worked his way through the system.

336
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 5: So they're a big part of, you know, what goes

337
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 5: on on defense. And then in the kicking game, Avenue

338
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 5: special teams coordinator coach Springer and offensively coach Van Pelt

339
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 5: come over from Cleveland Buffalo, so it's a mixture of

340
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 5: kind of new and old. I would say they certainly

341
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 5: have a number of things that they do well, starting defensively,

342
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 5: like they're a good team on defense, good front, multiplicity

343
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 5: of fronts, and they have a lot of hybrid type

344
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 5: players if you will, kind of working back to front.

345
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 5: We look at guys like Mapu and Jabriel Preppert Peppers

346
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 5: and Kyle Duggar safety kind of linebacker hybrid, but they

347
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 5: can do multiple things well. Have a really good corner

348
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 5: in Christian Gonzalez, I mean, matchup corner. He's really one

349
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 5: of the better corners in the league. And then they

350
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 5: kind of mix and move in between a nickel and

351
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 5: a perimeter with Jonathan Jones who's played inside over the

352
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 5: course of his career. Jonathan was a really good kicking

353
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 5: game player early in his career, and that Marcus Jones

354
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 5: is kind of their slot corner, nickel corner, Houston kid

355
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 5: who's also he factors into the return game as well.

356
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 6: He's a punt returner.

357
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 5: So the secondary kind of the back half. You know,

358
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 5: some hybrid players, but a lot of younger players but

359
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 5: do have experience in the front, a bunch of big

360
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 5: guys inside starting with Godshaw, a quality guys like that

361
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 5: Kean White, I would say is one of the better

362
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 5: players on defense. He's very versatile, lines up at outside linebacker,

363
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 5: he lines up at defensive end. Rusts from the inside,

364
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 5: but he's big, he's long, he's athletic. He can rush

365
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 5: the passer, he can pressure the quarterback really good player,

366
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 5: is a good pass rusher. So they get kind of

367
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 5: contribution from a number of different players on the edge

368
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 5: and linebacker. They've kind of had to some turnover there

369
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 5: because of the injuries. Bentley, he's on IR. McMillan's been

370
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 5: in and out. Tavia's been kind of a studying presence there.

371
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 5: So it's kind of a collection of players that can

372
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 5: line up in multiple spots. Younger players who have kind

373
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 5: of grown up and developed in the system.

374
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 6: They do a good job.

375
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 5: They're good against a run, they don't give up a

376
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 5: lot of explosive plays, and they've been able to take

377
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 5: the ball away and then offensively, I would say the

378
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 5: two best players are really at the backs, really Gibbie

379
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 5: and Ormandre Stevenson. Stevenson is good of a Backtor is

380
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 5: well rounded, good balance, good body control, strong, tough, good

381
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 5: player in the passing game. Signing Gibson in the offseason

382
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 5: who kind of is a change of pace. Guys got

383
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 5: some speed. Jacoby's done a good job. Jacoby hasn't turned

384
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 5: the ball over right, so he hasn't given it to

385
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 5: the other team. I think their turnover margin they're in

386
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 5: the top ten in terms of just the overall margins,

387
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 5: so they haven't given it away.

388
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 6: They and they've taken it away.

389
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 5: So two good backs, good tight end and Hunter Henry

390
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 5: who's very reliable, and then a receiver. Have a number

391
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 5: of young players who they're kind of working through some

392
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 5: things with. But you know, Pop Douglas is a really

393
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 5: good player, played well as a rookie getting born back.

394
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 5: So in that offensive line, they've just had a number

395
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 5: of players in there because of the injuries, so they're

396
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 5: just trying to kind of piece it together there.

397
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 6: But number of things that they do well.

398
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 5: They run the ball really well, offensively, don't turn the

399
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 5: ball over, and defensively they kind of give you multiplicity

400
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: it looks. And then in the kicking game, they got

401
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 5: one of the best punters in the league in Barrenger,

402
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 5: so good specialist, good punter. And then the return specialist

403
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 5: talked about Marcus Jones, who's top ten punt returner and

404
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 5: then Jamichael Hasty, So I would say they have good players.

405
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 5: They've been in three to one score games. So I

406
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 5: went to overtime with Seattle, went beat Cincinnati, and then

407
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 5: kind of came down to the wire are against Miami

408
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 5: last week. So it was a good football team. So

409
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 5: we're gonna have to go up there with the right

410
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 5: mindset and be ready to go.

411
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 4: I've always thought it's the toughest road trip in the leg,

412
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 4: not just because Brady played there for a couple of decades.

413
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: Dick and you were there as.

414
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 4: Well, but it takes a long time to get there

415
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 4: from anywhere. You don't stay near the stadium, the flight,

416
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: where do you land, Providence or Boston, A lot of

417
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 4: complication there. Then you get there at night, there's the

418
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 4: haunted house on the hill. When you were there, were

419
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 4: you aware of that kind of element for the road teams.

420
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, we weren't really too focused on that.

421
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 5: We were just trying to make sure we were ready

422
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 5: to play, ready to go, which I think that'll be

423
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 5: important for our team this week. So can't weren't necessarily

424
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 5: worry about well, just got a lot of great people

425
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 5: that handle that. So go through your process during the week.

426
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 5: Understand it's going to be a long fight flight, so

427
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 5: do need to do during the course of the week

428
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 5: to prepare, get your rest, make sure you're hydrated, and

429
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 5: then get up and get ready to go against a

430
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 5: good team who has a good track record at home.

431
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: So it's a place we've never won against a quarterback

432
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: right now where we've only beaten him once, and.

433
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 7: That's Jacoby Brissett.

434
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: So it's kind of a two part question, Nick, why

435
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: is Jacobe difficult to face?

436
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 7: If they part two?

437
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: If they do make the change and go to Drake May,

438
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: what could we see with him?

439
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Jacoby's He's a pro and Jacoby's got

440
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 5: a big, strong arm. He's very tough and historically over

441
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 5: the course of his career he hasn't turned the ball over,

442
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 5: so he generally makes good decisions. You know, which part

443
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 5: of your job as a quarterback is to make good decisions,

444
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 5: not give the other team the ball. So Jacoby's been

445
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 5: a steady, reliable presence. He's got a great demeanor, he's

446
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 5: got a great Personnality's god good leadership, which is probably

447
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 5: the reason why that he's playing. And then when you

448
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 5: talk about Drake. I mean, there's a reason he was

449
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 5: drafted third overall. When you watch him play in the preseason,

450
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 5: he played well. So big strong, athletic, big arm does

451
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 5: some things that a lot of the kind of the

452
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 5: quarterbacks this day and age do to kind of the

453
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 5: dual threat. So whatever the situation is, I mean, ultimately

454
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 5: will be their decision, but we kind of have to

455
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 5: prepare for everybody that could be at the game that's

456
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 5: going to be available, and then just make sure that

457
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 5: we're taking care of our business, doing the right thing

458
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 5: at least defensively, making sure we're sound and our techniques

459
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 5: understand the call, and just being able to go out

460
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 5: there next.

461
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 4: Cue my two things, sampling your former local knowledge. You

462
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: were there when the old stadium was there, and I

463
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 4: think people don't understand how basic a setup that was

464
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 4: in New England. Then they get the new stadium and

465
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 4: also that open area with the Longfellow Bridge, whatever that

466
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:11,239
Speaker 4: thing is.

467
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 3: What about that, Yeah, he'll kind of start.

468
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 5: I think they've made some cosmetic adjustments to that, and

469
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 5: I haven't really seen it since, but they've they've put

470
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 5: a lot of resources into the stadium, the scoreboard, the

471
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 5: open end kind of done some things. So they've done

472
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 5: a great job with the upkeep and just kind of developing,

473
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 5: and then you have Patriot Place. It's very unique, I

474
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 5: would say area the old stadium. My first year in

475
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 5: the NFL two thousand and one was the last year

476
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 5: in Old Jillette Stadium, and it was it was bare bones,

477
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 5: I mean, metal benches, so you're sitting, you're cold as hell.

478
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 5: Sound an old school environment. So really the old stadium

479
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 5: or the new stadium is they were like right next

480
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 5: to each other, so they kind of, you know, raised

481
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 5: the old stadium and then build a new stadium literally

482
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 5: right next to it. So the new stadium is a

483
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 5: little bit nicer than the old one, you know, a.

484
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 3: Little bit sounds like it. Drum Mayo head coach.

485
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: You saw him as a player, he's drafted, he plays.

486
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 2: When did you know or did you know that he

487
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: was going to be a head coach. He kind of

488
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: exhibit those qualities as a linebacker right away. And what

489
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: do you think about him taking over obviously after Bill

490
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 2: belichicked it so much.

491
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, when Gerard came in as a rookie, I mean

492
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 5: he kind of earned his stripes right from the get go.

493
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 5: I mean very few players. You know, I don't wanna

494
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 5: say it doesn't happen, but the fact that he was

495
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 5: a captain on a rookie team or as a rookie

496
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 5: on that team speaks to his leadership. So Girod was

497
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 5: a very smart player at Tennessee, and then when he

498
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 5: showed up, he was a good football player in the SEC.

499
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 5: And then his just his leadership and his production really

500
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 5: stood out. And he has a way of connecting with

501
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 5: a lot of people. So you saw that as a player.

502
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 5: At the end of his career, he had to deal

503
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 5: with some injuries, so he kind of started to transition out.

504
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 5: He spent some time in private business before he transitioned back,

505
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 5: but he kind of started at the lowest level. Came

506
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 5: in as a quality control coach. Nothing was you know,

507
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 5: he had to earn everything. Nothing was guarantee, and he

508
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 5: put a lot of work behind the scenes. And anytime

509
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 5: that you're replacing somebody the caliber coach Belichick, it's never

510
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 5: an easy situation. But I think the important thing is

511
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 5: he's kind of handled it and put his spin on

512
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 5: the program and doing the things that he thinks are important,

513
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 5: making it his program, and you're starting to see that

514
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 5: in terms of how they play. But Gerald's a really smart,

515
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 5: smart individual, really good person, good football player, and he's

516
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 5: going to be a good head coach.

517
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 6: He has a good head coach.

518
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 4: National media very focused on these games with Diggs playing

519
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 4: his former teams, but we're focused on the Nick Cassario

520
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 4: Reality Tour continuation because we had our timing to the

521
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 4: Cleveland area.

522
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 3: Now we're going to New England.

523
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

524
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, So some of the memories you have just personally

525
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 4: of being in New England they have to be good ones.

526
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 4: Obviously on the field it was great, but you started your.

527
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 5: Family there and everything like that. Yeah, No, with a

528
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 5: lot of great memories. So, I mean I met my wife.

529
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 5: You know, she worked for the organizations. She was working

530
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 5: on partnership marketing, kind of the soccer football side of it.

531
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 5: So I met my wife, So I mean I'll start there.

532
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 5: So nothing good has happened without her in my life.

533
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 5: But with a lot of good memories. You know, we

534
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 5: didn't have to move around too much. But I always

535
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 5: enjoy going into the city. The North End is really

536
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 5: kind of a unique. It's got a culture and just

537
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 5: so we always love going down to dinner down there.

538
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 5: And fortunately met a lot of good people while we

539
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 5: were there, So we have nothing but great things to

540
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 5: say about the area. We vacation over there during the summer,

541
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 5: we go back to the Cape, so a lot of

542
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 5: fond memories. So all of our children were born, you know,

543
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 5: in Boston as well. So yeah, so you know, a

544
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 5: lot of great experience, met a lot of great people,

545
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 5: fortunate to be a part of a number of winning

546
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 5: teams and a great organization, and was always treated well

547
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 5: by the people there, starting with ownership, and Robert and

548
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 5: Jonathan always treated me well, always gave me, you know,

549
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 5: the great, great opportunity, and you know, hopefully I did

550
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 5: the right thing by them all every step of the way.

551
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a one hundred percent in the affirmative.

552
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask you maybe something that might be a

553
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 2: little weird, but when you said something about a drop

554
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 2: mail that stood out to me he went into business

555
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: for you said, you went into business and he came back.

556
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 2: Does that resonate with you in a sense the fact

557
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 2: that you do that for a short amount of time

558
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 2: before you really got and dove into the business, that

559
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: maybe you get a little different perspective.

560
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 7: Check that does that kind of resonate with you.

561
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: When players do that, when they go out and see

562
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: something different, they come back to it.

563
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 7: Sure, whatever you're.

564
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 5: Doing, you have to make a decision, all right, where's

565
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 5: my kind of life going to take me? And it's

566
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 5: sometimes it's never linear, it's never a straight line. So

567
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 5: but when you're around football, like if you enjoy football

568
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 5: and want to be Immerson and want to be a

569
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 5: part of it, and you have to make a commitment

570
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 5: to it. So as Gerard was transitioning from playing to coaching,

571
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 5: there was a window there where he was probably trying

572
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 5: to figure out what do I do next? But I

573
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 5: think the fact that he made decision to come back

574
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 5: to football speaks to how much he loves football, how

575
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 5: much he wanted to be involved. And he's left a

576
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 5: positive impression, you know, time that he's been there, both

577
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 5: as a player and as a coach as an assistant,

578
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 5: and obviously he's putting his improt on the program now

579
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 5: as a head coach.

580
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: Great stuff, Nick, thanks a lot of good luck this week.

581
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 6: Thanks fellows.

582
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: If you would like to see that interview, for whatever

583
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: reason you think the three of us are good looking

584
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: or whatever the case might be, you can check it

585
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: out on YouTube. It's been on I think there's a

586
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 2: bunch YouTube of Tuesday, but we always play it right

587
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: out of the shoot on Wednesdays of game week. So

588
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: we always appreciate Nick for joining us. I know this

589
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 2: one means a little bit more. You know, we talked

590
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 2: all week last week, people did about you know, Stefan

591
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 2: Diggs facing his former team. Our guests later in the show,

592
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 2: Tim Settle facing his former team. Nick's not only facing

593
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: his former team, He's going back to where so many

594
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: things happened. As we mentioned there, he talked about his

595
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 2: meeting his wife, having his kids all there in Boston,

596
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: so that place is going to mean a lot to him.

597
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 2: But hopefully in his first go round back in Foxborough

598
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 2: with the Texans, the Texans can end that. Never have Shrieke,

599
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: never have beaten the Patriots in Foxborough.

600
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: Only beaten the Patriots. I think what was it three times?

601
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: Two times?

602
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: I think it's three times, Yeah, two thousand and nine,

603
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, So beat him only three times,

604
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: but never beat him up there. So hopefully that will change.

605
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: On Sunday, Mark will jump in the next segment. We'll

606
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 2: talk about that and a few other things going on

607
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 2: around the league, some rough news with Nicocollins going on IR,

608
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers and the Jets will not have Robert Sala

609
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: as the head coaching punching bag any longer. Mark will

610
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: react to all that next right here in Texans All Access.

611
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Wednesday inedition of Texans All Access from Londony,

Speaker 2: England will be front center. But we got a few

615
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 2: things that we need to hit. That I want to

616
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: hit that happened on Tuesday, all right, that we haven't

617
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: had a chance to talk about, and one that doesn't

618
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 2: include the Texans at all, other than the New York

619
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 2: Jets will be a team the Texas face down the road.

620
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: The New York Jets fire Robert Sala gut reaction.

621
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 7: I think it's.

622
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,800

Speaker 3: here and I.

624
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 4: Talked to him at the meetings and I feel awful

625
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 4: for him and his family.

626
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: Look, coaches get fired, we get it. It happened.

627
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 4: I just feel like it never was going to materialize

628
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 4: there when he got the job. It was twenty twenty one.

629
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 4: They drafted Zach Wilson. That obviously didn't work out. He

630
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 4: hired Mike Lafleur to be his OC. I still don't

631
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 4: know how good Mike, Matt's little brother could do in

632
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 4: this league. I think he could do pretty well, but

633
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 4: that's just a hunch more than anything. Now, maybe Zach

634
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 4: Wilson was never going to mature in football sense, right,

635
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 4: no matter who. Maybe I should use that in another

636
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 4: way too, No, but he was never going to materialize

637
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 4: as a great quarterback under anybody.

638
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 3: I don't know.

639
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 4: Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't, but it didn't work.

640
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 4: And then they go all in on Aaron Rodgers, and

641
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 4: I get it because you look at what Peyton Manning

642
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 4: did with Denver, you look at Tom Brady with Tampa Bay.

643
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 4: That could happen to us here in New York. We

644
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 4: have a good defense. This should work out. Maybe Aaron

645
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 4: Rodgers isn't going to work out, and Rob's just going

646
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 4: to be the guy that had things not work out

647
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 4: on the other side of them all, because I think

648
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 4: we both agree that the defense should be pretty decent.

649
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 4: At the very least, they've got some playmakers. So unfortunately

650
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 4: for him, did not work out offensively, loses his job.

651
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 4: It's going to be tough to get another opportunity. You know,

652
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 4: when Gary Kubiak was hired here, obviously he knew the

653
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 4: offense well. Took him a while to get that defense

654
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 4: straightened out. Finally did had success. So Rob just couldn't

655
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 4: get the offense straightened down here. Demiko hires Bobby slowly,

656
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 4: they draft CJ.

657
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 3: Stroud.

658
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 4: It's working very well so far, so the coaches. It's

659
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 4: a lot about fit. It's a lot about who you

660
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 4: acquire at quarterback, because you're not going to go to

661
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 4: a good team in all likelihood, you're going to a

662
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 4: team that needs a lot of work. And it just

663
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: didn't work out for him in New York. That's my

664
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 4: gut reaction, Johnny long answer to your short question.

665
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna give you a hot take, all right,

666
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: don't I don't necessarily believe this, but I'm gonna give

667
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: a hot take. All right, you give me the sizzle

668
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: fires one to five. Aaron Rodgers got rob Solid fired.

669
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 2: He didn't say to do it, but Aaron Rodgers got

670
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: Robert Solid fired.

671
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were so mad at the offense at Nathaniel

672
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 4: Hacket Aaron Rodgers that they fired the head coach, Rob

673
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 4: How's it.

674
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 3: Going to be any better?

675
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 7: One to five? How hot was that?

676
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: Take?

677
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 3: Not that hot? I think it's one and a half

678
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 3: to two.

679
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 4: Because never mind whether he directly did it or not,

680
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 4: he says he didn't do it. He was on the

681
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 4: McAfee show, said he didn't do it because everybody wanted

682
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 4: to know. And credit McAfee for asking the tough questions,

683
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 4: did you do it? Did you give the order? I

684
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 4: didn't ask who gave the order? There was this guy

685
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 4: Moe Green in the desert invented a city.

686
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 3: All right, that's from God's other part. It's a few

687
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: good men. That Rogers is Nicholson.

688
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 7: He ordered the code red.

689
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's the order order. I was going back

690
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 4: to the early seventies to Godfather Part two and kids.

691
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 3: If you haven't seen it, you should see it. See

692
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: one first and see two.

693
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: Johnny, Yeah, I see it.

694
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, so good. But Rogers, I don't think

695
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 4: it's gonna work. I've I've watched him play. Doesn't look

696
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 4: the same to me. He wanted hack it. You know,

697
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 4: Rogers should know right, we should trust Aaron Rodger to

698
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 4: get the right offensive coordinator.

699
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: That's another thing.

700
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 4: When Rogers got hurt opening day last year, there you

701
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 4: are with Nathaniel Hackett as you're oc where. There's no

702
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 4: way that Rob Sala would have hired Nathaniel Hackett as

703
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 4: his offensive coordinator if Rogers wasn't there.

704
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 7: There's no way.

705
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 4: And it didn't work with Zach Wilson last year after

706
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 4: Rogers got hurt, and it's not working this year with Rogers.

707
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 4: So there, but you fire the head coach because it's

708
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 4: his fault somehow.

709
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 3: I don't get it.

710
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's weird to try and figure out. Then

711
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of noise about apparently Salah was

712
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: going to take play calling duties from Nathaniel Hackett and

713
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: that got found out somehow, some way, and wouldn be

714
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: Todd Down who was with the Titans. And in the

715
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: last two games of the Titans he got a DUI

716
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 2: after one of the games. So there's Look, it's it's

717
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 2: a wild situation with the Jets.

718
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 7: I hope it stays that way for when we go

719
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 7: up and play them in.

720
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: A few weeks and we could take advantage that dysfunction

721
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: and get a win. But that's for down the road.

722
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: We got to worry about what's now. So with what's now,

723
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: there's some information. Team Quatoriano back with the team.

724
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 7: Yay.

725
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 2: Like seeing TQ back with the team. Jared Wayne added

726
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: to the practice squad Googs. I like Jared six y

727
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: three receiver, came out of pit a few years ago.

728
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: Has has some skills, long angular body that can do

729
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: some things with. Then there's bad news and good news.

730
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 2: Now normally I always want the bad news first, but

731
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give us the good news first, and that

732
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: is Kymie Fairbaron named AFC Special Teams Player the Weekegad.

733
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 7: How about that?

734
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 4: That's awesome and he preserves it and thank goodness for

735
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 4: fair Baron eight of nine from fifty plus.

736
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: Wow, that's incredible. That's a season.

737
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 4: That's a great season for a lot of kickers, a

738
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 4: great percentage from that long distance.

739
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 3: But fair Baron has that through five games. It's incredible. Yeah.

740
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: Now, as I've said seven, I've said this a few times,

741
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: we play outside, so all the specialists and CJ quarterback

742
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: they got to just to play outside a little bit.

743
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: But hopefully it looks like weather, why is going to

744
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: be in the low sixties cloudy, but the wins are

745
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: going to be which we know having lived up there,

746
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: going to college up there, we know the win can

747
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: be a problem. But it sounds like the winds are

748
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: going to be relatively reasonable for that game. Now the

749
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: bad news, Oh this hurts my heart. Nico Collins goes

750
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 2: on IR. Now, going on IR just to remind everybody

751
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: that's at a minimum four weeks doesn't mean it's four weeks.

752
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: It means it's at a minimum four weeks. Could be longer,

753
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: but it's at least four weeks before.

754
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: Nico can return. What does that mean?

755
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: No Patriots game, no Packers game? My god, the Colts

756
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: are dancing a jig in their offices today because he

757
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: won't face the Colts and then the aforementioned New York Jets.

758
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: Nico out for four weeks.

759
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 4: Mark your thoughts, Well, you got digs, you got tank,

760
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 4: you have X, you have met you coming up.

761
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you have other weapons here.

762
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 4: And I want to get Joe Mixon back as a

763
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 4: P two catches the ball so well, But you know what,

764
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 4: I'm happy with the way Darry.

765
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 3: Is playing lately. And who would have thought we'd say

766
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: this going into week six. You've got Dari and it

767
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: makes you feel good.

768
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 4: It does because CJ and he clearly have chemistry, and

769
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 4: Darry has jumped his game to another level. Now I'm

770
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 4: not saying Darry you're gonna live with him running the

771
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 4: ball thirty times again, I'm not saying that, but to

772
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 4: catch the ball, he's your third down back. Anyway, it

773
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 4: was gonna be. He was definitely it and Pierce practiced.

774
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 4: That's goods. Go see if you get Pierce back, move

775
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 4: the ball in that way, Schultz, good receiving tight end.

776
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, British Brooks on IR. Correct

777
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 4: and you're allowed up to eight bringbacks from IR.

778
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 7: That's correct.

779
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 4: And some people you can bring back twice. You can

780
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 4: bring him back. Oh they got hurt again? You put

781
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 4: him back on IR. I think you get one of

782
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 4: last year, was it Jimmy? I think he was get

783
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 4: Jimmy one of Maybe's or something like that. But anyway,

784
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 4: I hope to not use any of those but or

785
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 4: not need any of those. But Johnny, let me ask

786
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 4: you this because at tight end, and I was thinking

787
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 4: this anyway before Teagan came back. I thought you gotta

788
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 4: go get some help at tight end if Brooks can't

789
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 4: go because he's a full back. Yes, but they use

790
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 4: the tight ends and that full back roll. God forbid

791
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 4: you get an injury to Schultz or Stover. Now what

792
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 4: do you do, right, because you run a lot of stuff.

793
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 4: You already don't have Brev who's out. I are, so

794
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: I'm glad to see Teagan back. Would you line up

795
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 4: Tiegan as a full back?

796
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 3: Ever?

797
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 4: Would you do that with him? Not regularly but on occasion?

798
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 4: One way they do with the tight ends. What I

799
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 4: found interesting.

800
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: The other day against the Bills was Stover had been

801
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: playing full back, but then they moved k to more

802
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: of the h back move tight end spot and put

803
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: Dalton at full back. Yes, and so I thought that

804
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 2: was interesting, kind of the flip flop of those two,

805
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: because I.

806
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 3: Would kind of think the other way.

807
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: But then the more I thought about it, I was like, no, no,

808
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: I think this kind of makes sense.

809
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 3: Now Dalton's not gonna. I don't want to.

810
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I say this right, because

811
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: I think Dalton's blocking as a fullback has been really good.

812
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,239
Speaker 2: Like Dalton was a big reason he and Stolever are

813
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 2: a big reason why cam Akers danced into the end

814
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: zone as opposed to to fight through eight tackles like

815
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 2: he did.

816
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 7: A those guys did a great job on that.

817
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: On that concept, I think Teagan is a straight up

818
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: why tight end like handed a dirt. Now, maybe move

819
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 2: a little bit like like Caid does, but other than

820
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: kid's a little bit more agile and mobile and athletics,

821
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: so he can do that. I think you crazy as

822
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: it sounds. I mean, I think you could go and

823
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: I just find it kind of funny because when you

824
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: look at it, you go, oh, that's twenty one personnel

825
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 2: because it's a full back of tailback and a tight end.

826
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 3: Yet it's our two tight ends in the game.

827
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so it's like, really it's twelve personnel, but

828
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 2: now you can go thirteen personnel. Put Tigan in there

829
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: as a why cade Dalton you used to have a

830
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 2: lot more options, and why Hegan can catch the ball? Yes,

831
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 2: that I think has been one of the pleasant surprises

832
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 2: coming out of training camp really and out of that

833
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 2: preseason game. Teagan made some really big plays in the

834
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 2: passing game and then got hurt. We're like, oh man,

835
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: here we go again. Yeah, but watching him in practice today. Well,

836
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 2: he looked agile, he looked good, He's moving around really well.

837
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: So I just think you have a few more options

838
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: there at full back. What I'd like to have British

839
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 2: for your kind of true fullback sort of stuff. Sure, yeah,

840
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: you're probably not gonna turn around and give like a

841
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 2: belly handoff to Dalton, I wouldn't think. So maybe that

842
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: small part of your game plan you're probably not gonna do,

843
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: I would think, But then.

844
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 3: Again, who knows.

845
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 2: I just like having Teaguan back because I do think

846
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 2: that Teagan went healthy at the end of the line

847
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 2: of scrimmage, ends up probably holding up better than probably

848
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 2: Cad and Dalton. And so what it does is it

849
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 2: allows Cad and Dalton to kind of stay in their

850
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 2: spots as kind of Caid the move guy a little bit,

851
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: Dalton maybe playing at fullback spot, and then let Teagan

852
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: be the in line why guy, And it gives those

853
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 2: guys a little bit of a rest, and it just

854
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: kind of gives you different personnel packages that you can use.

855
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 2: So I was glad to see Tigan come back. Definitely

856
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 2: glad to see him come back. And like you said,

857
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 2: I think his receiving acumen.

858
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: Is was a bit of a surprise guy.

859
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 8: I know.

860
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 2: I remember I watching Morgan state. The one thing I

861
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: wrote in a scouting report was this guy Maul's dudes

862
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: at the launch scrimmage, but the passing game, like every

863
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: time he ran a route, he would like run, he

864
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 2: would run to the defender.

865
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 3: And like turn around. I'm like, make himself available.

866
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: He's got pretty soft hands and he can run after

867
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: the catch, so maybe that's something that they can incorporate

868
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 2: again and bringing him back. So I was just glad

869
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: to see him back. And I know people are like, well,

870
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: wait a second, did he get released? And what he

871
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: was on the practice squad with the Bears, And you

872
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 2: can bring a guy back off the practice squad, but

873
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 2: you have to if you bring it on, bring it back.

874
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 2: You can go get a guy off a practice squad,

875
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: but he has to go right to your fifty three

876
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 2: right And the same with Kaar Holman also added.

877
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kadar Holman apparently he got healthy at some point

878
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 4: Tagan and was with the Bears. And they like guys

879
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 4: who were on somebody else's practice squad because it means

880
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 4: they've been practicing right there. A football tune they're good

881
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 4: to go, and obviously he knows the system, so that's

882
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 4: good as well. I would love to see Pierce and

883
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 4: Acres in the offset eye. I'm just saying, oh, and you.

884
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 3: Know they've thought of it.

885
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 4: I don't know if they'd do it, but you know

886
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 4: they've discussed it, because how could you not.

887
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 3: But I'd like to see some of that. Now.

888
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 4: A couple of things here that I wanted to bring

889
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 4: up before the week slips away from US. Okay, because

890
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 4: he's al Shire, think about this, Johnny, So he played

891
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 4: sick and had a big game, and you mentioned this,

892
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 4: what did he do against US last year?

893
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 3: He was sick against US and had a tremendous game.

894
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: And he's also the only man to wear the Oiler

895
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 3: uniform and the h Down uniform. Think about that for

896
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 3: a moment. Wow, great piece of trivia. How about that

897
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 3: great piece of trivia? I mean he has both you well,

898
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 3: I mean.

899
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 2: When DeAndre Hopkins comes back, then he will have Oh no,

900
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: I'm kidding.

901
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 3: Oh, you just got me all excited. Don't do that

902
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 3: to me.

903
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 4: I don't know if he ever comes back, but maybe

904
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 4: he comes back and does a one day deal and

905
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 4: retire the Texan.

906
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 7: No, but but that's a great stat he I mean,

907
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 7: he Mark. He was so good.

908
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 2: He was so good, and I loved with the Miko

909
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 2: told us because I would go back and I watched

910
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 2: the game and I remembered those first few carries and

911
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 2: I thought, oh, man, who has He's missed a couple

912
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 2: of tackles on this drive.

913
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: But he played so well.

914
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 7: And then it was.

915
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 4: Interesting because the Miko told us what happened. Yeah, talked

916
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 4: to him on a side, little assertive counseling. There got

917
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 4: the job. I've got one more for you, though, Jacoby Brissett.

918
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 4: They're not going to play him, right because they're gonna

919
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 4: not start him. Ye Drake May, Yeah, maybe they do

920
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 4: play him. But Jacoby Brissett, you and I have talked

921
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 4: about this many times. Texans Killer. Jacoby Brissette five and

922
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 4: one all time against the Houston Texans with three different teams.

923
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 4: I was on the air in New England and I

924
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 4: shared this information with him.

925
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 3: I said, listen, I'm dancing right.

926
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,439
Speaker 4: Now because we're not seeing Jacoby Brissett start this game.

927
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 4: Texans killer and minimum six starts all time winning percentages

928
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 4: against the Houston Texans. I got to think that he's

929
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 4: third behind Peyton, Manning and Tom Brady. That's right, Steve McNair,

930
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 4: it's not him. It's not Drew Brees. Yes, oh wow, Yeah,

931
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 4: it's not Drew Brees.

932
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 9: Yeah.

933
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 3: Well, hang on a second, is it Drew Brees? Could

934
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: be close?

935
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 4: Oh, because Breese has that San Diego winning Oh right, day, right,

936
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 4: that's right.

937
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, But no Brees lost.

938
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 4: Ah, No, it's not Drew Brees because as long as

939
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 4: he loses too, I don't think he has the percentage

940
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 4: he lost in seven here, and he lost in fifteen fifteen,

941
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 4: and in this building, in this building, so he's never

942
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 4: beaten the Texans as a saint by this building. In fact,

943
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 4: in that game in fifteen, it was the first time

944
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 4: he and Sean Payton linked up. In two thousand and six,

945
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 4: twenty fifteen was the first time that Drew Brees did

946
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 4: not throw a touchdown pass. I can't think of any

947
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 4: other quarterback six starts or more against the Texans and

948
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 4: has a better winning percentage than Jacoby Brissett, Tom Brady,

949
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 4: Peyton Manning. Those are the three yes and belongs with

950
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 4: a seat at that table. Kidding, but somehow he's five

951
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 4: and one against the Texans. So I'm glad we're not seeing.

952
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: Him, ye exactly, And maybe that's what it takes to

953
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 2: go in up at Gillette, is that the the ultimate

954
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 2: Texans killer sits on the bench and lets Drake May

955
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 2: do it.

956
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 3: So we'll talk a little bit more about Drake May

957
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 3: on Friday.

958
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 2: And our Friday will give you the status report for

959
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 2: players in.

960
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: Out, questionable, all that kind of stuff.

961
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 2: But on Wednesday, the first injury report of the week

962
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 2: comes out. Boy, this Texans injury report is long and lengthy.

963
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 2: Let's get it too it next right, you're at Texas

964
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 2: All Access. All right, everybody, welcome back to Wednesday edition

965
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: of Texans All Access from the Monday Texans Radio studio.

966
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 2: Glad you are here with me John Harris, football analyst,

967
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: sideline reporter for your Houston Texans Today day of the

968
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 2: work week. At least that we get to see out

969
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 2: on the field players back after a day off on Tuesday.

970
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 2: And when that is the case, it's time for the

971
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: injury report. Now, we gave you the news earlier the

972
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 2: Nico Collins put on IR that is not great news.

973
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 2: But if you think about hamstring, which you know sometimes

974
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,959
Speaker 2: hamstrings are tricky sometimes hamstrings are eight nine weeks. Derek

975
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 2: Stingley had won that was really really bad. I saw

976
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 2: him in a hallway on a crutch I think at

977
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: some point dealing with the hamstring, and then he bounced

978
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 2: back had a really great second half of the season

979
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: once he got back from the hamstring.

980
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: So with a hamstring, it could.

981
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 2: Be a week, it could be three weeks, it can

982
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 2: be five weeks, can be eight weeks. We do know

983
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 2: at least for Nico, it's gonna be four weeks, four

984
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 2: games because there's no bye week. So you're dealing with

985
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 2: this week against the Patriots, the following week against the.

986
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: Packers, then the Colts.

987
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 2: My god, they've got to be pumped about this news

988
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 2: at home, and then you got the short week taken

989
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 2: on the New York Jets. Now, because things have changed

990
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 2: over the years, I are you can come back. You

991
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 2: have up to eight players that you can bring back,

992
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 2: as Mark mentioned on IR, So that's that's pretty good.

993
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 2: So you would still think, Okay, are you gonna bring

994
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 2: Kurt Heinis back off IR? Are you gonna bring Christian

995
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 2: Harris off IR? What about does Jimmy Ward.

996
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: Go on IR soon? Does he go on at all.

997
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 7: We don't know.

998
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:31,959
Speaker 2: There are a lot of things that we can't answer,

999
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 2: but we do know that the official transaction today is

1000
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 2: that Eco Collins is going on IR So that does

1001
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 2: mean a minimum of four weeks. It doesn't mean it

1002
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 2: has to be four weeks. It can be eight weeks,

1003
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: it could be six. It just can't be two or

1004
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 2: three at this point. Now it might be a two

1005
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,720
Speaker 2: or three week recovery, but they just feel better putting

1006
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 2: them on the four week recovery and we'll go from there.

1007
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: Damian Pierce, if my math is correct with Damian, Damien

1008
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 2: would be three weeks and he was dealing with the hamstring. Now,

1009
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 2: obviously all hamstrings are different. Some people will get back

1010
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 2: in a week or two. Some people, you know, we'll

1011
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 2: talk about hamstrings in a second here. Sometimes it's gonna

1012
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: take four to six.

1013
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: It all depends.

1014
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 2: So hopefully we could see ancoing four weeks, but we'll

1015
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: play it by year. We got you gotta deal with

1016
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 2: what you got. Now, what else is on the injury report?

1017
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 2: And this is where it gets kind of kind of

1018
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 2: Jakie two, four, six, eight, nine players did not participate.

1019
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: Now from the game Sunday that we're already out. Derek

1020
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 2: Barnett didn't play, he was out, Jake Hansen was out,

1021
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 2: Titus Howard was out, Joe Mixon was out during the game,

1022
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: Jimmy Ward went out. So those guys were all dnps.

1023
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: Derek Barnett with his shoulder, Jake Hansen with the back,

1024
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 2: Titus Howard to hamstring, hamstring again, Joe Mixon with that ankle,

1025
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 2: Jimmy Ward with the groin. Those guys missed the game

1026
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: or went out of the game and stayed out for

1027
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 2: a significant period of time. On the injury report, that's

1028
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: a little bit new this week. Kenyan Green did not

1029
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: participate dealing with a knee issue. Kamari Lassiter was not

1030
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 2: a practice day dealing with his shoulder, Larimer Tunseell dealing

1031
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 2: with that ankle that he injured in the I'm trying

1032
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: to remember which game it was at home Jaguars game.

1033
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: And then Robert Woods dealing with a foot.

1034
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 2: Now, don't know the status on any of those guys,

1035
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 2: just know they did not participate on Wednesday at practice.

1036
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 2: The offensive line, that's sixty percent of your starters right there,

1037
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: Kenny Green, Tys Howard, Laromy Tunseell.

1038
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

1039
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 2: Steph was a limited participant during the media viewing. We

1040
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 2: had a chance to see him, but it was not

1041
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 2: injury related limited. It was the rest day dust Shaun

1042
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 2: Phillips dealing with the hip was limited. Damian Pierce was

1043
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 2: back at practice but still dealing with that hamstring.

1044
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: Now on the Patriots side, it's not as a.

1045
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 2: Grotesque if you will. Kyle Duggar is one to watch.

1046
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 2: He's one of the better defensive players. He was their

1047
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 2: franchise or transition player. Either way, the Patriots highlighted him

1048
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:10,959
Speaker 2: as being a guy they wanted to bring back. They did,

1049
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 2: but he has a DNP. On practice on Wednesday, Marte

1050
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: Mapu played in his place. The young man for Sacramento

1051
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 2: State who I really love kind of linebacker safety Higry

1052
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 2: Kyle a lot like Kyle Dugger played every single play

1053
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 2: last week. So if Mapu has got to step in,

1054
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: it's a loss because it's not Dougger. But Mapuo could play.

1055
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 2: Also did not participate was Ramandre Stevenson. That is one

1056
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 2: definitely worth watching deal with a foot. He is their

1057
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 2: leading rusher. He has fumbled the ball a little bit,

1058
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 2: so I got him a doghouse a bit and then

1059
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: Antonio Gibson took a lot of those reps. Now where

1060
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 2: they're hurting is a little bit in a limited participation category.

1061
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 2: Kendrick Borne, wide receiver, Devon Godshaw, who you heard Nick

1062
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 2: talk about deal with elbow, Marcus Jones, former Houston Cougar,

1063
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 2: Nick Leverett, the center I've already lost, David andrews Vederian Lowe,

1064
00:45:54,920 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 2: kJ Osborne, Leighton Robinson, Sioni Sataki Taki Taki, Marco Wilson.

1065
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: They were all limited participants.

1066
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 2: So where the Texas had DMPs, they had a bunch

1067
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 2: of limiteds in New England. And then Anthony Jennings they're

1068
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 2: outside linebacker, and Jonathan Jones corner slash nickel, he was

1069
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 2: a full participant.

1070
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: So both teams deal with a little bit of stuff.

1071
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 2: But if you look at injury at ports around the league,

1072
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 2: it's really not a big surprise. I mean, I'm not

1073
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: losing sleep over this. I would imagine we'll see a

1074
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 2: few of those DMPs back at practice. Hopefully it's the

1075
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, but we'll see again. Titus dealing with the hamstring.

1076
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 2: Hamstring has been a little bit of an issue for Titus,

1077
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 2: for Damien obviously, for Nico Nico one and I are

1078
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 2: is good to see Damien.

1079
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: Back at practice.

1080
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 2: Say, that was a great, great sign. Even if Joe

1081
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 2: wasn't practicing, they did have Damien back. So just having

1082
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: more ammunition in the running game, I think is would

1083
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 2: be good. Would love to be able to get Joe

1084
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 2: back against the Patriots, but we'll see when he can

1085
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: get back. But just injury situation galore for both of

1086
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 2: these teams actually, so they've been dealing with it.

1087
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: We put Nico on IR. That was a tough one.

1088
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 2: The Patriots had to put David Andrews, one of their

1089
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 2: key offensive line. There's the center, the guy that ran

1090
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 2: everything when Tom Brady was the center, or Wins the quarterback,

1091
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 2: so's he's out for a while. So both team's kind

1092
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 2: of dealing with it. And we'll see how it rolls

1093
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 2: on Sunday. But we get back the two men that

1094
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 2: will be making the call for the respective organizations, Mark

1095
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 2: Vandermuir and Bob Soci It's men behind the MIC's next

1096
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 2: right here in Texans All Access.

1097
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: We don't want our down, want our left to go.

1098
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 2: Right here on a Wednesday edition of Texans All Access,

1099
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 2: it's Patriots weak and since I've been down on the

1100
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 2: sidelines other than twenty fourteen. We've been playing the Patriots

1101
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 2: on the regular up until the last couple of years,

1102
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: so we haven't had a chance for Mark Vandermuir to

1103
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 2: catch up with the voice of the Patriots.

1104
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: Bob Soci.

1105
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 2: But how about right now we get all caught up

1106
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,919
Speaker 2: with our good friends men behind the mikes, the two

1107
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 2: men calling the action on Sunday, sit down a chat

1108
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 2: about the Patriots right.

1109
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 4: Here joining us now in Texans Radio. It's the voice

1110
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 4: of the New England Patriots, old friend, Bob Soci.

1111
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 3: Bob, great to have you on. How's it going, my friend?

1112
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 10: Hey Mark, it's great to be with you. Looking forward

1113
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 10: to seeing you this weekend in Foxborough. Maybe not necessarily

1114
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 10: looking forward to the Texans the way you guys are playing,

1115
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 10: coming in here with the Patriots in desperate need to win,

1116
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 10: but it's always great to reconnect.

1117
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 3: Bob.

1118
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 4: I do not look past anybody, especially the New England

1119
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 4: Patriots at Gillette Stadium, a place where the Texans have

1120
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 4: never won. I know things are different right now, but

1121
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 4: this is going to be a different situation for everybody

1122
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 4: because you have the rookie quarterbacks starting. Tell me about him,

1123
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 4: what you've seen so far, preseason games, practices, what your

1124
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 4: expectations are on Sunday.

1125
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, Mark, With Drake May getting his first start, obviously,

1126
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 10: there is an injection of excitement here, and I think

1127
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 10: as well a lot of intrigue because when May came

1128
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 10: out of the University of North Carolina, it's the third

1129
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 10: player selected overall in this year's draft. He did so probably,

1130
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 10: if nottt certainly is the one quarterback taken in that

1131
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 10: first round who was least ready to play right away

1132
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 10: in the NFL. I think much of the commentary about

1133
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 10: his playing at North Carolina and try to project to

1134
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 10: the NFL really centered around the athletic gifts that he has.

1135
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 10: He's a big quarterback, he runs well, he's got a

1136
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 10: good arm. He's certainly as tough as he showed at

1137
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 10: North Carolina and as he showed, and his upbringing the

1138
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 10: younger of the youngest of four brothers, all athletes to

1139
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:33,399
Speaker 10: North Carolina basketball players, one playing professionally, another brother who

1140
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 10: was a College World Series champion at the University of Florida,

1141
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 10: and of course a father who played at a high

1142
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 10: level of college football as well preceding him. As a

1143
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 10: North Carolina quarterback. So the physical tools, the ram goods,

1144
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 10: if you will, were there, but a lot of the

1145
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 10: polish that comes with playing quarterback in the NFL was

1146
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 10: not necessarily played in the system at North Carolina, where

1147
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 10: he didn't have to make play calls. Everything was relaid

1148
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 10: off the sideline, off two cards, if you will, didn't

1149
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 10: have to get in the huddle and command the huddle

1150
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,760
Speaker 10: and deliver a long winded play call like the Patriots

1151
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 10: are now using in the West Coast offense. And then

1152
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 10: beyond that that, we're issues about the bookwork playing under center,

1153
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,919
Speaker 10: which he didn't do a lot. But as the year

1154
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 10: has gone along, going back to the spring and then

1155
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 10: the summer, and reportedly thus far this season to the

1156
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 10: first month plus of regular season practices which were not

1157
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 10: privy to, he has continually improved in those areas. And

1158
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 10: the way the offense has struggled, and it's been a

1159
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 10: combination of a lot of different factors. And certainly it

1160
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 10: is not all on Jacoba Brissett, and I would say

1161
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 10: the larger share of it is not on Jacoba Brissette,

1162
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 10: who was brought in here more or less as a placeholder. Nonetheless,

1163
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 10: I think the Patriots were moving toward this situation. They

1164
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 10: had wanted to develop May slower rather than rush him

1165
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 10: into action right away. I think maybe things got expedited

1166
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 10: because of the way the offense has been playing, But

1167
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 10: certainly in the last week or too, there was a

1168
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 10: building sense that he was going to get his opportunity

1169
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 10: sooner rather than later. And now it comes after they

1170
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 10: lost the game against Miami fifteen to ten on Sunday,

1171
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 10: you know, and really really did not move the ball

1172
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 10: but for a couple of drives in desperation in that

1173
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 10: game late in the game.

1174
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 4: Well, Brissette has only lost once to the Houston Texans.

1175
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 4: So maybe it's not the right move, just saying, Bob,

1176
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 4: But I'm sure there are other factors. Of course, like

1177
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 4: you explained, take me back to the class of twenty

1178
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 4: twenty one, because Romandre Stevenson was in that class and

1179
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 4: he's one of the better running backs in the NFL. Really,

1180
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 4: what are you seeing from him so far? And I

1181
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 4: know they need to lean on him, especially this season.

1182
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, Mark, he's clearly, you know, their best offensive option

1183
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 10: and it's been that way. I really, I was saying

1184
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 10: two of the last three years for them you go

1185
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 10: back to two thousand and twenty two, Romandre rushed for

1186
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 10: a thousand yards and he led the team in receptions.

1187
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 10: He got worn down a little bit late that year,

1188
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 10: but one of the other things late left that season

1189
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 10: is had some fumbling issues, and then they popped up

1190
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 10: in a game the Patriots could have won against the

1191
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 10: Cincinnati Bengals, and they wound up missing the playoffs by

1192
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 10: a single game. They finished eight and nine and out

1193
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 10: of the playoff picture. And you go back to a

1194
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 10: game in December with a lost fumble against the Bengals

1195
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 10: on a light late minute drive to potentially go ahead

1196
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 10: on that game. And so that's been really the one

1197
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 10: niche in his game when you look back on its

1198
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 10: first several years in a Patriots uniform, because the talent

1199
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 10: is certainly there, having played so well at Oklahoma at

1200
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 10: immediately in the NFL. Well this year again clearly is

1201
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 10: the Patriots best option offensively, and they've been very clear

1202
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 10: about it from the outset. They had to be a

1203
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 10: one first team and with Romado Stevenson and Antonio Gibson

1204
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 10: as the second ball carrier, who's really as much of

1205
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 10: a pass catcher as he is a guy who runs

1206
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 10: between the tackles. It's obvious that they have to get

1207
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 10: Stevenson going early in games and often to have any

1208
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:02,479
Speaker 10: success offensively. But the fumble issues have really affected him

1209
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 10: and the team thus far. He didn't start against Miami

1210
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 10: on Sunday because he fumbled in four straight games to

1211
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 10: begin this season, in five consecutive games. If you go

1212
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 10: back to his last appearance in twenty twenty three, save

1213
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 10: for those issues, Romado, Stevenson is a very strong runner.

1214
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 10: He's a guy with great contact balance. A lot of

1215
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 10: the yards that he's gained this season have been on

1216
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 10: his own. If you look at the Patriots offensive line,

1217
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 10: this is a team that's allowed a lot of pressures

1218
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 10: on the passing game. There's allowed a lot of contact

1219
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 10: behind the line or at the line in the running game.

1220
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 10: Yet Stevenson has still found ways to make yards.

1221
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 4: All right, What about the pass catchers, Bob Socy, Voice

1222
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 4: of the Patriots with us Hunter Henry leads the way

1223
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 4: in yardage and to Mario Douglas in receptions.

1224
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 3: What about that group? Bob?

1225
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, Mark, you look at the production, the sum of

1226
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 10: the parts, and it's not great. To be honest, when

1227
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 10: you look at the wide receivers in particular, not a

1228
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 10: whole lot of separation for the Patriots. Douglas is the

1229
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 10: one guy who can cover quickly, and they've had a

1230
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 10: tough time and then in a couple of games really

1231
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 10: getting him going. Jalen Polk is a good looking young player,

1232
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 10: second round pickout of the University of Washington. He's got

1233
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 10: strong hands. I think generally has been a good route runner,

1234
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 10: though there have been some issues in games, as you

1235
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 10: would expect from a first year player, but again, there's

1236
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 10: not that first to speed, there's not that separation like

1237
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 10: you see from some of the guys that CJ. Stroud

1238
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 10: can throw to. With Hunter Henry just a very reliable,

1239
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 10: solid player. Austin Hooper's been a nice compliment too at

1240
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 10: tight end, but they just haven't been able to get

1241
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 10: enough going. Henry was sensational against the Seattle Seahawks or

1242
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 10: one hundred yard receiving performance, but there hasn't been enough

1243
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 10: consistency in the Patriots passing attack or lack thereof. Whether

1244
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 10: Jacoby Brissett heretofore now Drake may have tried to fight

1245
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,720
Speaker 10: the receivers or continue to go to the tight ends,

1246
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 10: and you look at the offense, much of it against

1247
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 10: stems from the lack of protection, just being unable to

1248
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 10: give the quarterback ample opportunity to seek out an open receiver. Meanwhile,

1249
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 10: those receivers are struggling to get.

1250
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 4: Open all right now. Defensively, some of the numbers don't

1251
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 4: look good. But what is going well? What should the

1252
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 4: Texans be concerned about? You're doing the scouting report now

1253
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 4: for us Bob concerned about with the Patriots defense, well.

1254
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 10: Throwing the ball in the neighborhood of Christian Gonzales based

1255
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 10: on the way he's played thus far, particularly against Miami,

1256
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 10: made a great read and a diving interception on a

1257
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 10: throw across the middle, and men nearly had one and

1258
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 10: would have in the end zone if that for a

1259
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 10: very good play by Tyreek Hill to punch the ball at.

1260
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 10: Gonzalez is I think someone who has the makings of

1261
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,879
Speaker 10: a young star in this league if you can stay

1262
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 10: on the field. Last year, injured in the fourth game

1263
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 10: of the season and that's his rookie campaign cut short.

1264
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 10: But he's truly with a team that really lacks a

1265
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,879
Speaker 10: lot of depth and frankly mark transcendent talent or even

1266
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 10: elite talent at a number of positions, most positions on

1267
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 10: the field at that cornerback spot, Christian Gonzalez has that chance.

1268
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 10: First round pick out of Oregon. Key on light up

1269
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 10: front is another guy that really has an opportunity to

1270
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 10: be a good player in this league. He had five

1271
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 10: sacks in the first two games, but he's got to

1272
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 10: control himself. Two costly, costly personal files, one a horse

1273
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 10: collar another a clear rough in the passer call on

1274
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 10: the same drive from Miami on Sunday. And also some

1275
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 10: of the discipline that you need in the defensive scheme

1276
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 10: of the Patriots used hasn't been there at times, and

1277
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 10: I think it's over eagerness the young player try to

1278
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 10: make plays. What we've see in that regard as a

1279
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 10: defensive tried to do a lot of the same things

1280
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 10: they've done in the past. To Marcus Covington is the

1281
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 10: new defensive coordinator, he's been a long time Patriots assistant.

1282
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 10: Of course, to Rod Mao, the head coach, and a

1283
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 10: Patriots assistant played in the defense. So I think they

1284
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 10: tried to duplicate a lot of the things they've done

1285
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 10: in the past successfully confusing quarterbacks, but they just haven't

1286
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 10: been able to tackle as well, and at times their

1287
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 10: integrity rushing the passer or their discipline and being in

1288
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 10: the right gap at the right time hasn't been there.

1289
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 10: And I think a part of that, too, Mark Frankly,

1290
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:13,760
Speaker 10: is injuries. They've lost some key players defensively. You start

1291
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,919
Speaker 10: with Jawan Bentley out for the year with a torn

1292
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 10: leader in the middle of that defense as a linebacker.

1293
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 10: He was a captain. Kyle Dugger was appointed the captain

1294
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 10: and then he immediately went down because of an ankle injury.

1295
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 10: And then you have the situation involving Gabriel Peppers, who

1296
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 10: was also voted as a captain defensively at safety, first

1297
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 10: injured and with a shoulder ailment, being held out of

1298
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 10: the game against Miami, but then subsequently being arrested because

1299
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,479
Speaker 10: of an incident that happened over the weekend. So they're

1300
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 10: missing some important players. They traded Matthew Judam before the

1301
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 10: year began. They had a very talided young player, Christian

1302
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:54,479
Speaker 10: Barmore a diagnosed with blood clots, which has rendered him

1303
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 10: someone who's on injured reserve right now and probably won't

1304
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 10: come back this season. That's the expectation right now that

1305
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 10: he'll be back, So you look at them. There are

1306
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 10: pieces there, but they just haven't been able to play

1307
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 10: well enough at times when they've needed to, Like against

1308
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 10: Miami where the Dolphins coming back round the ball right

1309
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 10: down their throats late in that game. That's something that

1310
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 10: teams just couldn't do a year ago against the New

1311
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 10: England defense.

1312
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 4: Bob, So see Voice of the Patriots with us all right,

1313
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 4: girod Mayo, Nick Cassario, we asked him about Mayo and

1314
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 4: did he know that he could be a head coach?

1315
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 4: And I want to get your thoughts on that because

1316
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 4: you've been around him for a long time too, Bob.

1317
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 4: And the way Nick was describing Mayo, it sounded like

1318
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 4: he was talking about Tamiko Ryans, you know, rookie captain

1319
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 4: type guy, natural.

1320
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 3: Leader, that type of stuff. What do you make of him?

1321
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 4: I know these are rocky waters early in his career,

1322
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 4: but his career is going to last a long time, I.

1323
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 10: Believe so, Mark. I think he's going to learn, you know,

1324
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 10: and he's he's very honest about the fact that he

1325
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 10: is learning. And he's only been an assist and for

1326
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 10: a handful of years before becoming a head coach. But

1327
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 10: you go back to what he did, as Nick alluded to,

1328
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 10: rookie defensive Rookie of the Year, somebody came in and

1329
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 10: right away was really a leader on a team of leaders.

1330
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 10: He was a conduit by his second year between the

1331
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 10: team and head coach Bill Belichick, and he was named

1332
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 10: the captain in his second season, and his play stood

1333
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 10: out as leadership stood out on the field. And then

1334
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 10: after he finished his playing career cut short because of

1335
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 10: some injury issues towards the talent end, he went into

1336
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 10: business and he went to work for healthcare company. And

1337
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 10: I think that experience has been valuable for him as well.

1338
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 10: He's someone who really I think is well read, has

1339
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 10: a great sense of humor, really connects with people, and

1340
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 10: those varied experiences from the locker room to the c suite,

1341
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 10: being able to identify and connect with people in every

1342
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 10: level of this Patriots or organization. And I think is

1343
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 10: anybody who's walking the Patriots press conference as far I

1344
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 10: can tell a software approach with those of us in

1345
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 10: the media other than the great Bill Belichick. Nonetheless, I

1346
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 10: think you know he's going through this this learning process,

1347
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 10: but because of those strengths, because of I think his

1348
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 10: intellect and his ability uh as as a leader, as

1349
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 10: a as a as a guy with a great football mind,

1350
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 10: which he's always had. He's a guy who's calling that

1351
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 10: defense for the Patriots out there. As a first round

1352
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 10: pick out of Tennessee when he was playing, he's got

1353
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 10: the potential to do what Demico Lyons has done. But

1354
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 10: there's a lot that goes into that, as you know,

1355
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 10: and Nick has built a very good roster uh for

1356
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 10: Demico Lyons and that staff with a guy like Bobby Slowick. Obviously,

1357
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 10: from from where I sit, you know, it really stands out.

1358
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 10: And I think the Patriots right now are going through

1359
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 10: a lot of growing pains collectively as a team, as

1360
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 10: an organization with this new administration, if you will, uh

1361
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 10: led by jerd Mail. But you know again, I think

1362
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 10: he's he's he's learning as he goes and in time

1363
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 10: he's going to be a are a good coach in

1364
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 10: this league.

1365
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 4: All Right, One more for you, Bob, What do you

1366
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 4: think about the patients of the fan base?

1367
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 3: Are they patient?

1368
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 4: Obviously they've enjoyed some success there and this is a

1369
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 4: process in the NFL, and you went to the post

1370
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 4: Brady Belichick still their little mini era. Now you're in

1371
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 4: the Gerrod Mayo era. Are they patient? You do have

1372
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 4: the rookie quarterback to look forward to? What are you

1373
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 4: think in there? As far as fans of the outside

1374
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 4: looking in.

1375
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 10: Well Mark, I think when the Patriots went three and

1376
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 10: out in the first series against Miami, already there were

1377
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 10: boos reigning down. The fans here has been conditioned over

1378
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 10: the course of the last two plus decades to demand

1379
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 10: excellence from their sports teams, not just the Patriots, but

1380
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 10: all the teams. And so even while the Patriots and

1381
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 10: the Red Sox, for example of football and baseball, are struggling,

1382
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 10: you've got the Celtics who are looking to defend their

1383
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 10: championship and the Bruins that are looking to get back

1384
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 10: to the playoffs as they did last year. And so

1385
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 10: that mentality of New England sports fans, I think is

1386
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 10: just one that you know, they want a representative product

1387
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 10: on the field, and I think people do understand. I

1388
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 10: think the real fans understand that this is this is

1389
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 10: going to be a period of transition and that they

1390
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 10: had to rebuild. The last four years post Tom Brady,

1391
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 10: the team had three losing seasons. They lost thirteen games

1392
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 10: last year, and I think that it really was not

1393
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 10: a true reset, true rebuild. You had a spending splurge

1394
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 10: on free agents in twenty twenty one, for example, you

1395
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 10: had to reset at the quarterback position again after Matt

1396
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 10: Jones was drafted first overall and then following his first

1397
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 10: three seasons, it was apparent the team had to move

1398
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 10: on from a difficult situation for him, and certainly, you know,

1399
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 10: the organization making the move from Bill Belichick to girod

1400
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 10: Meo signaled to everyone, look, this is this is going

1401
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 10: to be a rebuilding phase, and it's going to be

1402
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 10: more than one year. But I still think that a

1403
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:02,439
Speaker 10: lot of the fans are gonna come to the game

1404
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 10: on Sunday, especially with Drake May out there. They're gonna

1405
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 10: come excited about the prospect of seeing May, but also

1406
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 10: with expectations that what they're going to see will be

1407
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 10: a lot more exciting and better than what they saw

1408
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 10: last Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

1409
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 4: If that makes sense, it certainly does. Bob, you always

1410
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 4: make sense. Looking forward to seeing you in the booth

1411
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 4: or the nearby booth on Sunday. Thanks so much for

1412
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 4: joining us, hey, Mark.

1413
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 10: Is always a pleasure. Look forward to seeing it on Sunday.

1414
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 10: Have a safe strip up.

1415
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely been talking about in the first couple

1416
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 2: of days how tough this trip is to make for

1417
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 2: you know, teams that don't do it normally, you know Buffalo, Miami,

1418
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 2: the Jets, they've got to take that trip, but it's

1419
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 2: a little short trip for them and they're used to

1420
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 2: doing it. This is one of those where we're staying

1421
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 2: in Providence that's still thirty five to forty minutes from Foxborough,

1422
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 2: and then once you get off the highway, then you're

1423
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 2: on these two lane roads kind of getting there. It's

1424
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 2: really hard to get to but that doesn't matter. Everybody's

1425
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 2: got to do it. Gotta go on the road and

1426
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 2: you gotta prove you can win. Texans did it at

1427
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 2: India place to comfortable playing. They didn't do it in

1428
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 2: Minnesota where they're not as comfortable playing or used to playing.

1429
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 2: But now they got to do it in New England

1430
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 2: where we haven't played since twenty eighteen in irregular season since.

1431
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 2: So hopefully that will all get fixed on Sunday. A

1432
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 2: guy that will go a long way and helping us

1433
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 2: get to that win is Tim Settled, defensive tackle in

1434
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 2: his first year with the Texans, had a great start

1435
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty four year. We talk about a

1436
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 2: lot here. This was really fun. Stay tuned.

1437
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,280

1442
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,000

1446
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: Well in the middle.

1447
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 2: I think he's been a great addition to this defensive interior.

1448
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 2: Go a chance to sit down with Tim and chat

1449
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,480

1450
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 2: on for years with Tim Settle, but we settled on

1451
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:07,760

01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 4: Media Days. So how has your stay been since then?

1456
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:20,960

1457
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 9: It's been good, you know.

1458
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 11: Uh, I had to obviously got a little banged up

1459
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:27,439
Speaker 11: during camp, so you know, I had to sit out,

1460
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 11: but uh, I was working on other things while uh

1461
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 11: while out, like Cardio, weaight strength and you know, uh,

1462
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 11: just so I can get back and be able to

1463
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 11: contribute and not feel like I'm a step behind everybody

1464
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 11: else even though they were about thirty days ahead of me.

1465
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 11: But you know, uh, you know, just I'm just trying

1466
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 11: to fit in.

1467
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 9: I'm getting where I fit in. Ain't not much more to.

1468
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 2: Tim for guys are playing the trenches. We talked to

1469
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 2: a lot of offensive line and a lot of defensive linemen over

1470
01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 2: the years about and I remember Dwayne Brown played leftime

1471
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 2: for us for a long time in Hoky. But Dwayne,

1472
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 2: you should talk about you know, this year, I want

1473
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 2: to be three fifteen. Then one year you come back,

1474
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 2: you want to be three thirty. You want to be bigger.

1475
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 2: Do you kind of go through that too, Like, you know,

1476
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 2: I think I need to be a little bit bigger

1477
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 2: this year, or you know, maybe I need to slim

1478
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 2: down a little bit for what I'm asked to. Dude,

1479
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 2: you kind of have to go through that, had you

1480
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 2: have you had to go through that through your career?

1481
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, a couple of times.

1482
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 11: You know, obviously in college, you know, trying to trying

1483
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 11: to discover a little discipline, you know, coming out of hospital,

1484
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 11: I was through sixty so wow, I was forced to

1485
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 11: red shirt. Yeah, I had to lose thirty pounds my

1486
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 11: freshman year. And then you know obviously when you losing

1487
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 11: thirty pounds, I played way better. Yeah, you know, I

1488
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 11: would say I was in a similar situation this year.

1489
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 11: I had to lose about fifteen pounds. Yeah, and you

1490
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 11: know it was it was like kind of while I

1491
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 11: was banged up, so you know, during during that while

1492
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 11: we baned up. You know, it's kind of mental. So

1493
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 11: you know, got I gotta. I started getting meal preps

1494
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 11: and just started making this attacking the workouts and you know,

1495
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 11: it just started stratting off. But I feel like that

1496
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 11: definitely increases place, especially depending on the system.

1497
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 9: You know, if you got to get off, you know.

1498
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 11: You want to be a little lighter, you want to

1499
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 11: be a little heavier coming out your stance, other than

1500
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 11: some some you know guys, some systems they want guys

1501
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 11: to be a little heavier to hold on, hold the

1502
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 11: wall up, or hold a double team up. But you

1503
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 11: know we're attacked, so you know they wouln't want us

1504
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 11: light and coming off the rock.

1505
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 2: Can you feel it on the and when you're on

1506
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 2: the field and you feel like, whoa man, I can

1507
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 2: feel that I am lighter, that I'm moving quicker. Can

1508
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 2: you feel it physically? Feel it or is it just

1509
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 2: like you know, yeah, I don't know. Can you feel this?

1510
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 11: It's crazy, but I definitely could feel like the things

1511
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 11: like being able to one step and being able to

1512
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 11: know step.

1513
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 9: You know.

1514
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 11: I feel like when I was a little heavier around

1515
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 11: three thirty. You know, if I had a movement like

1516
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 11: do a movement or a stunt, you know, I would

1517
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 11: just go right now, you know. Now I feel like,

1518
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 11: you know, I can threaten somebody, you know with a

1519
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 11: vertical step and then going and being able to go inside.

1520
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 11: So I feel like being a light light on your

1521
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 11: feet and being lighter in weight. It can it can

1522
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 11: definitely be beneficial. That's why you see them guys and

1523
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 11: little guys when they when they get up in there,

1524
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 11: the dns.

1525
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 9: Get up inside. You know.

1526
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 11: I feel like a lot of guys tend to panic,

1527
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 11: you know, uh, because when you attack space, you know,

1528
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 11: O lineman, you know, they only get it's almost a

1529
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 11: trial and error that you can do, especially when you

1530
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 11: when you're connected with their line that you want to

1531
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 11: keep the pocket together and all that. But this, I

1532
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 11: feel like this if you if you like, you can

1533
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 11: get off and you can you can just go like

1534
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 11: I'll definitely recommend it. It's definitely easier playing lighter than heavier.

1535
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 9: I'll tell you.

1536
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,640
Speaker 4: That Tim settle with us. Tim not to harp on

1537
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 4: the weight thing, but do you weigh yourself before and

1538
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,839
Speaker 4: after a game? How much weight might you lose during

1539
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 4: a game or during a training camp practice or that

1540
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 4: kind of thing.

1541
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 11: Doing a practice, I was averaging around ten pounds. Oh

1542
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 11: you know, that's kind of like it's kind of new

1543
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 11: to me, you know, but obviously the son out here really.

1544
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:49,799
Speaker 9: Is a factor.

1545
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 11: So yeah, hydration is definitely a key. So I definitely

1546
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 11: drink more than I need to.

1547
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 4: And uh, what about during a game?

1548
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 11: During a game, I feel like I lose about probably

1549
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 11: saying about ten to twelve. You know, you kind of

1550
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 11: carve up the day before. Kind of I carve up

1551
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:10,560
Speaker 11: and I don't. Sometimes I don't eat the day of

1552
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 11: the game, depending on how much I ate the day

1553
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 11: before because it kind of like like I feel like

1554
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 11: my my weight kind of shift down to where like

1555
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 11: a solid playing weight over the over them twenty four hours. Okay,

1556
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 11: but I definitely, I definitely feel like I lose by

1557
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 11: about ten pounds per like practicing game, Tim, what.

1558
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,759
Speaker 2: Was last week like for you seeing a team that

1559
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 2: you played for, you know, being on the other sideline

1560
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 2: seeing guys you know, guys you went against him practice?

1561
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 2: What was that like for you? It's emotional? Was it

1562
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 2: just another game? How'd you kind of go through Sunday

1563
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 2: against the Billson? I feel like a.

1564
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 11: Lot of the times, like I've been in a situation

1565
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 11: where I played my former team a couple of times,

1566
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,560
Speaker 11: and I feel like I overlooked at I mean, I

1567
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 11: ain't gonna say overlooked. I feel like I took too

1568
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 11: much pride into this. This is my old team. Yeah,

1569
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 11: this this week I looked at as another game.

1570
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 9: You know.

1571
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 11: Obviously some guys that I know, you know, it's gonna

1572
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 11: be some smiles on some last year for the game.

1573
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 11: But nothing changed. Uh, maybe wanted to play even better,

1574
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:03,600
Speaker 11: you know, just going against a team. You know, I

1575
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:05,599
Speaker 11: feel like I ain't gonna say I feel like slept

1576
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 11: on me. But you know, I feel like, uh, I

1577
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 11: feel like that I definitely could have did more in

1578
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 11: that situation over there, you know, but you know, everybody's

1579
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 11: Charlie Airr. You know, control what you control, and you

1580
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,600
Speaker 11: know I moved forward for it. I wish them the

1581
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 11: best of the luck, and I hope they don't got

1582
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 11: players again.

1583
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 4: Because you were with Washington for what four years? You

1584
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 4: were with the Bills for two? So do you consider

1585
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 4: yourself a former Washington player or a former Buffalo player?

1586
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 9: More so, I would say both, you know.

1587
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 11: Uh, you know, I'm from Virginia, so I grew up

1588
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 11: a Washington fan. My family grew up a Washington fan,

1589
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 11: so we kind of carried that along a long way.

1590
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 11: And then transferring to Buffalo, you know, I definitely was

1591
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 11: a Buffalo fan more than a Washington fan. You know,

1592
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 11: they was winning up there, So yeah, you want to

1593
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 11: claim and winning team. You know, I feel like you

1594
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 11: give a positive reaction when you claiming winning team. So

1595
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 11: you know I could saider I claimed both of them,

1596
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 11: but more of the recent team.

1597
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 2: So in the locker room last week, I saw that

1598
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 2: sound social social media asking which state had the best

1599
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 2: high school football and CJ was like pointing out all

1600
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,799
Speaker 2: these different states after he said California was the best,

1601
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,759
Speaker 2: and of course, you know, Texans got to represent because

1602
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 2: it's Texas high school football.

1603
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 3: I think Virginia high school football is.

1604
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 7: Totally slept on.

1605
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, totally.

1606
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 2: I think there are tons of players that come out

1607
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 2: of there. What do you say about that? What was

1608
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 2: that kind of your high school experience like? And how

1609
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:25,679
Speaker 2: did that kind of get you ready for the next

1610
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 2: levels you went to?

1611
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 11: Obviously, you know, I noticed this about all high school

1612
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 11: sports depending on states. You know, a lot of a

1613
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 11: lot of Southern states played spring ball when it got

1614
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:37,600
Speaker 11: pads and stuff on.

1615
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 9: In Virginia, we don't do that.

1616
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 11: Ye know, We'll do seven on seven and we'll keep

1617
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 11: it light and we won't have a set schedule. You're

1618
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 11: going against other teams other than seven on seven. But

1619
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 11: I feel like Southern states could part of trade more

1620
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 11: physical physicality because they practiced it twice a year other

1621
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 11: than teams up north. You know, it's more you know,

1622
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 11: when it's it's colder during the springtime, and I feel

1623
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 11: like we don't get that that's same opportunity. But you

1624
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 11: look back at Virginia, guys, you got guys iconic. Yeah,

1625
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 11: you got Bruce Smith. You know, he still leads the

1626
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 11: league in sacks to this day. You got guys like

1627
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 11: Michael Vick simulating a different a dual threat quarterbacks was

1628
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 11: a great iverson you know the crossover, you know this

1629
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 11: iconic guys. You got Percy Harvin, Yeah, Cam Chancellor. Great area, yeah,

1630
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 11: great area. And it's crazy because of Virgin's broken down

1631
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 11: up in the three. You got Northern Virginia, that's Nova.

1632
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:31,759
Speaker 11: You got Richmond, and then you got the Seven Cities.

1633
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 11: The Seven Cities, you know, I say, it's a bigger area.

1634
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,680
Speaker 11: So you know, I feel like a lot of the

1635
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 11: a lot of the guys come from the Seven Cities.

1636
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 11: But depending on position and stuff. You like Nova more

1637
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 11: offensive Lineman like you got d Linman like me, he

1638
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 11: got John Allen, uh the Kobe Turner around in that area.

1639
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 11: I played against his brother in high school. But you

1640
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 11: you got like a lot of like interior, you know.

1641
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,599
Speaker 11: Then you got guys like with Beck then Morgan Moses

1642
01:12:58,680 --> 01:12:59,879
Speaker 11: those guys are from Richmond.

1643
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 3: You know, Like I said, Virginia has got a lot.

1644
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:05,560
Speaker 2: I mean it's not thought of because you think of

1645
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 2: the Ohio's Texas and Georgia, Florida, you know, California, et cetera.

1646
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:10,839
Speaker 3: So you don't think about Virginia.

1647
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 9: No.

1648
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 3: Man, it has spit out some players.

1649
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 7: Absolutely.

1650
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 3: The best one that never played is Alan Iverson. Yeah,

1651
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 3: never college.

1652
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 11: But it's crazy because I heard about that. He was

1653
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 11: just as good as a football.

1654
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 2: He was Ed Reid to say as a safety. I mean

1655
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 2: he was Ed Reid before I'd read, and he wasn't

1656
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 2: as big as it Ed was big. Check him out,

1657
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 2: okay or dog, we'll pull some stuff.

1658
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 4: Up as a safety. Huh god, safety, he's great. That's interesting.

1659
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 2: I wanted to play safety when he when he's done

1660
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 2: with the NBA, just go play a couple.

1661
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 7: Of years at safety in the NFL.

1662
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 3: If he could do it, he was probably could have

1663
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 3: done it. He's pretty good at basketball.

1664
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 4: Tim Settle with us, all right, going New England. You've

1665
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 4: been there before, so this is a weird road trip.

1666
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 4: We talked about it with coach Rance. We talked about

1667
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 4: it with Nick Cassario. You don't stay near the stadium,

1668
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,560
Speaker 4: long bus ride, that kind of thing. Now at Buffalo,

1669
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 4: it's close by as a light is concerned, but you're

1670
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,759
Speaker 4: still staying far away and it's just kind of weird.

1671
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I feel like they do that on

1672
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 11: kind of on purpose a little bit. You know, it

1673
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 11: kind of uh exclude. They put it kind of like

1674
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 11: in the area where nothing else. It's a hostile environment though.

1675
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 11: You know their fans are. They're really passionate about football.

1676
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:20,760
Speaker 11: You know, they gotta win a history, you know. I

1677
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 11: feel like that. That's why I feel like they're a

1678
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 11: little tucked away. Their hostile environment is uh, definitely is

1679
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 11: a good team. This over history is a good team.

1680
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 11: But nothing changes.

1681
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 2: Yep, Well go up there and do it, Yeah, no doubt.

1682
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 2: Uh your defensive line room, man, what's that been like?

1683
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:37,679
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's new to a lot of guys

1684
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 2: because Foley is new, your new curtain. Khalil had been here,

1685
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,559
Speaker 2: Mario's new. But what's that room being? Like, guys from

1686
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 2: kind of all over the United States kind of coming

1687
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 2: together in that room.

1688
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 9: What you're like, I feel like we have a real

1689
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:50,799
Speaker 9: song unity.

1690
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 11: You know, we got a lot of personality, and I

1691
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 11: feel like our room is real judge free, so we

1692
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 11: don't have any uh no finger pointing. I feel like

1693
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 11: there's a lot of accountability we got. We got a mixture.

1694
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 11: Guys has been in the league for you know, seven

1695
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 11: to ten years, seven to twelve. We got Jerry that's

1696
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 11: been in the league fifteen years. So I feel like

1697
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 11: a lot of us put our front foot forward and

1698
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 11: we see what we can do together as a as

1699
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 11: a unit, and I feel like we took on that

1700
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 11: role of leading the team and every every game, I

1701
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 11: feel like we try to lead the team or try

1702
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 11: to set the tone.

1703
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 9: You know, it's just a great chemistry, great room.

1704
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 11: Everybody respects everybody, and it's it's just commeren in football.

1705
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 11: Best man win. You know, we all want to see

1706
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:32,720
Speaker 11: each other do well. We all want to see each

1707
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:33,680
Speaker 11: other get the stats.

1708
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:34,720
Speaker 7: But at the end of the.

1709
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 9: Day, we want to win. Everybody in the line, everybody

1710
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:37,639
Speaker 9: on the line want to win.

1711
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 4: Is there a little bit of a friendly competition between

1712
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 4: the d ns and the d tackles for sacks because

1713
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 4: you've got at least three guys that d tackle with

1714
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 4: multiple sacks?

1715
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,679
Speaker 11: Very cool, you have to Yeah, it hasn't been a competition.

1716
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 11: It's more like, let's get one. Let's go like you

1717
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 11: know what I'm saying, You and I let's both get one.

1718
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 11: Like everybody like we we set our weekly goals, and

1719
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 11: you know, we haven't been reaching them as of recently,

1720
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 11: but you can definitely see the potential or what that

1721
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 11: can be like once we do execute at a certain level.

1722
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 7: Cool.

1723
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 3: Okay, I've always thought about this last one before.

1724
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 2: I know, you gotta go last one, But I gotta ask,

1725
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 2: if you're driving around and you just got the shuffle on,

1726
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 2: does nth Sandman come on? And if it ever does

1727
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 2: come on your shuffle, do you start, Oh, man, I

1728
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 2: gotta go through the tunnel? Do you ever have that

1729
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 2: like Pavlovian response? Because of all those games you came

1730
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 2: out of Enter Shamon in Virginia Tech.

1731
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 9: Inner sing Man is not on my playlist.

1732
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 11: Only reason why because every time I hear it, I

1733
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 11: feel like it's a special moment for me. So like

1734
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:32,639
Speaker 11: when somebody else plays it or if I hear somewhere else,

1735
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 11: it just brings back flashbacks of and nobody knows what,

1736
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 11: just like you know what that stadium We used to

1737
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 11: walk through that stadium and it used to the tunnel

1738
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,560
Speaker 11: used to shake man. I used to think it was

1739
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 11: going to collapse on this, but it was just that

1740
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:48,640
Speaker 11: that that song just carries like traditionally with me for

1741
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 11: a long time. So every time I hear you know,

1742
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 11: I just get a smile and I just have a

1743
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 11: good flashback of when I was a Virginia Tech.

1744
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 3: And that's another tough road trip for teams.

1745
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you stay in Rono, can take the long

1746
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 4: bus ride and then get your butt kicked and have

1747
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 4: fun on the way back.

1748
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 11: Virginia Tech was a rough rider, especially when I used

1749
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,640
Speaker 11: to go home and visit back this mountains.

1750
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 9: The whole time.

1751
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1752
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, ten, Thanks so much.

1753
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 1: Man. I love his spirit, his soul. But man, I'm

1754
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:15,559
Speaker 1: telling you, Virginia spits out some players.

1755
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:17,679
Speaker 2: So after we were done, I showed him a little

1756
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:19,759
Speaker 2: bit of Alan Iverson from back in the day Bethel

1757
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 2: High School football highlights, not basketball stuff.

1758
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:23,640
Speaker 1: Football.

1759
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 2: You guys have heard me say this before. Allen Iverson

1760
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 2: was a bad you know what playing football. I mean,

1761
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:34,200
Speaker 2: stud I wish obviously, things with his high school career

1762
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 2: ended in a way in the bowling alley and all

1763
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, and it forced him really just

1764
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 2: into basketball going to Georgetown.

1765
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 1: But man, he was a.

1766
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,639
Speaker 2: Ballplayer in the football field, So it's good to introduce

1767
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 2: him to a little bit of Alan Iverson on.

1768
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:48,839
Speaker 7: The football field.

1769
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 10: Uh.

1770
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 2: And yeah, there are bits of great players from Virginia.

1771
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 2: Virginia High School very underrated. Uh state for high school

1772
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 2: football players. All right, I played high school football in Texas.

1773
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,799
Speaker 2: Drew Doherty was an athlete in the state of Texas

1774
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 2: as well. We are both halves of the In the

1775
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 2: Lab podcast crew. Have that for you next right here

1776
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 2: on Texans All Access. We are one final segment of

1777
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 2: this edition in Texas All Access. And I really appreciate

1778
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 2: you being with me. John Harris, football analy the sideline reporter.

1779
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here in Sports Radio six ten.

1780
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 2: It's Area forty five with Patrick Craigen and Sean Bajohanni

1781
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 2: coming up after us.

1782
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 1: But we got a little bit more to do.

1783
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 2: And when I say we got a little bit more

1784
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 2: to do, that means it's time for In the Lab.

1785
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: It's our podcast between me Drew Doherty. We broke down

1786
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: from the Bills game.

1787
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 2: We tell you who the cream of the croppers that

1788
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:37,440
Speaker 2: we need to be watching for the game against the Patriots.

1789
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,719
Speaker 1: It's all right here within the lap.

1790
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 8: Hey man, this could be the trip. This could be

1791
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 8: the trip John to New England. We thought in twenty

1792
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 8: sixteen it was gonna finally happen. We thought then that

1793
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 8: the Texans, We're gonna get their first win in Foxborough

1794
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 8: because Tom Brady was suspended, his backup Jimmy Garoppolo was hurt.

1795
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 8: So rookie quarterback against that defense with Clowney and everybody else, like,

1796
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 8: it's gonna be easy, right.

1797
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,600
Speaker 6: Wrong. It was maybe the worst defeat.

1798
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:13,759
Speaker 7: It was rough.

1799
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the stakes weren't as high because it

1800
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,680
Speaker 8: wasn't in the playoffs. You could argue the Monday night

1801
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 8: football game in twenty twelve was worse because the air

1802
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 8: got popped from the balloon. But man margin of victory

1803
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 8: and you didn't even score, you got shut out. But

1804
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 8: now John, another rookie quarterback, awaits and there is no

1805
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 8: Bill Belichick on the opposing sideline. Obviously there's no Tom Brady.

1806
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 8: He's up on a broadcast booth somewhere this weekend. And

1807
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 8: this is a struggling Patriots. This is just a football team.

1808
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 8: This isn't the Patriots anymore. This is just a football team, right,

1809
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 8: It's not the Patriots. Now, wild things can happen. We'll

1810
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 8: get into a little bit of wildness later. But it's

1811
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 8: you and it's me, and it's you watch and listening,

1812
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 8: thank you you, we love you.

1813
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 6: What's it? This seems so weird?

1814
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 8: Man, after all those like House of Horrors trips over

1815
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:10,719
Speaker 8: the years, and then in seventeen you get really close

1816
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 8: and your quarterback walks off the field for the final

1817
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 8: time and he's got the lead in his back pocket,

1818
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 8: and then you're within a score late the next year,

1819
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 8: but you don't pull it off. This feels like is

1820
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 8: it feels like it's I mean, you should beat these guys.

1821
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 8: You're a touchdown favorite against these guys, as Las Vegas does.

1822
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 8: Does this feel weird to you someone who went to

1823
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 8: Brown very close by for college, who knows the area

1824
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 8: and knows the history of this back and forth over

1825
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:37,679
Speaker 8: the last decade and change.

1826
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:39,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's kind of odd in a sense.

1827
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,679
Speaker 2: I mean, I thought it was kind of fitting that

1828
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,600
Speaker 2: we were going to play Jacobe Brissett because it was

1829
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 2: in that twenty sixteen game that Jakobe played as a rookie,

1830
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 2: and he's outstanding, just did a really nice job against us.

1831
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that is a that's a House of Horrors game.

1832
01:20:55,760 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 2: That game is just brutal for many many reasons. And

1833
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 2: I mean the travel to the game was a nightmare.

1834
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 6: GID, which is like an hour away.

1835
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 2: Then if you remember, right after that game we found

1836
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 2: out JJ Watt was done for the season. It was

1837
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:14,639
Speaker 2: like the aftermath of that game was like holy cow.

1838
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 7: I mean it was rough.

1839
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 3: So remember it.

1840
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 2: For that twenty seventeen I thought, I thought we had him,

1841
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:23,599
Speaker 2: but I also knew as Tom Brady on the other side.

1842
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 7: So so back then.

1843
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 2: The you know whoever was on you know PR team

1844
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 2: down on the sideline would come find me and say, hey,

1845
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 2: who do you want to interview kind of getting prep

1846
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 2: for the game.

1847
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 7: Who do you want to interview after the game?

1848
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 2: And I was like, I can't talk about it, man,

1849
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 2: because if I if I commit to somebody, then you

1850
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 2: know they're gonna come back and win.

1851
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 7: Just kind of superstitious, and both they came back to win.

1852
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 8: As Tom Brady, hold on here, it's another reason you're

1853
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:53,599
Speaker 8: my brother, because here at home games at Energy Stadium,

1854
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 8: when the Texans win, I interview a player on the

1855
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 8: field right after.

1856
01:21:57,280 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 6: If they lose, I don't, right.

1857
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 8: And every single week, no matter what, my I have

1858
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 8: a fantastic field producer that's kind of alongside helps me

1859
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 8: out with some things. Yeah, yeah, Carrie does an awesome

1860
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 8: job in every single week, no matter what she's like,

1861
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 8: who were going to interview? You know, like I don't.

1862
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 8: I don't want to talk unless it's like a two

1863
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 8: score three, and we haven't had that lately.

1864
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 7: Hand out to it.

1865
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that happened in twenty seventeen, and finally I

1866
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:26,599
Speaker 2: had to tell him someone.

1867
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 7: I was like, I want Clowney, and.

1868
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 2: I swear to God as soon as I said I

1869
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 2: want clown because Clowney had a great game that day. Yeah,

1870
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Tom Brady worked magic. I mean

1871
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 2: there was a sack and a strip fumble we couldn't

1872
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 2: get on it. Then there was you know, and I

1873
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 2: mean Dola catch, and then of course Brandon Cooks put

1874
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 2: the final nail on a coffin.

1875
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 7: I was like, oh God. In the aftermath of that.

1876
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:47,760
Speaker 6: There was a there was a drop interception late too.

1877
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 2: You're right, And there was a Monday discussion in this

1878
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 2: studio amongst me, Mark and somebody that won't be named

1879
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 2: because it was our fault.

1880
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 7: We lost some for some reason either way.

1881
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 2: And then eighteen we want I mean we had a

1882
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 2: three now the first drive and then the and then

1883
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:07,759
Speaker 2: we fumbled on the first play and we were trudging

1884
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 2: up pill So it's been six years since we played

1885
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 2: regular season game up there, and that's that's good in

1886
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 2: a sense because it is it's a long trip. We

1887
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 2: talked with both Nick and Demico about this during the

1888
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 2: week and they they've acknowledged that they know it. It's

1889
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 2: the longest flight, it's the hardest to get to. We're

1890
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 2: gonna be standing in Providence, which I love. It's, you know,

1891
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 2: my my my second home. I love Providence. Uh you know,

1892
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 2: lived there for four years, going to college there. I

1893
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 2: just loved it. I mean, it's such a beautiful neighborhood.

1894
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 2: I hate the fact that Brown is playing Rhode Island

1895
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 2: in the at noon that day, so I'm to go.

1896
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 2: I thought about going up early, but I couldn't swing it.

1897
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 2: So anyhow, so there's a lot of good about it.

1898
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 2: But I think playing at noon is probably a little

1899
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 2: bit better because and I think coming from Providence. We

1900
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 2: played that game on Thursday night, so we were traveling

1901
01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,839
Speaker 2: on a Thursday night in Boston.

1902
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 7: We were on the rush hour for ninety minutes. And

1903
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:04,439
Speaker 7: that's that's unheard of.

1904
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 2: Because we've got a police escort and all that kind

1905
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 2: of stuff to get us the game.

1906
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:09,679
Speaker 8: You can get TV perspective. You couldn't move anybody John's

1907
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 8: talking about. You're talking about ninety minutes to get to

1908
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 8: a game there in New England.

1909
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 3: From the hotel to the stadium.

1910
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 8: When you play in Indianapolis, it's about a three minute

1911
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 8: bus ride.

1912
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 1: Is that that?

1913
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1914
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 6: If that?

1915
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:24,840
Speaker 8: When you play in Baltimore, same thing, Cincinnati, same thing.

1916
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 2: Tennessee can be like five minutes for downtown, which usually are.

1917
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 6: So quick trip.

1918
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 7: Yep, was an hour and a half because we have

1919
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 7: a police es score. But you know, a newon game is

1920
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 7: a little bit more manageable. I think.

1921
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 2: So I know the Texas will you know, they'll definitely

1922
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 2: be planning ahead. Look, they know if anybody knows, Nick

1923
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 2: Cassario knows, he knows what all those teams have been through.

1924
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 2: And Jamiko Ryans is definitely wise that.

1925
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 10: You know.

1926
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 7: Look, you can look at the Patriot treck and go.

1927
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 2: Well, it's not so good, but it's the Patriots, and

1928
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 2: you always have that place no matter what where Cincinnati,

1929
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 2: you know where you're going to Cincinnati're gonna win no

1930
01:24:58,000 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 2: matter what team you've got.

1931
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:00,320
Speaker 7: It just kind of goes that way, right, no.

1932
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,160
Speaker 2: Matter who the quarterback is, no matter what, you're just

1933
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:04,600
Speaker 2: gonna go win it. Cincinnati, and maybe New England is

1934
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,760
Speaker 2: the opposite for us. Maybe we just can't go to

1935
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:09,640
Speaker 2: New England and win. But I think this to me

1936
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 2: is as big a test because you're coming off a

1937
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 2: big win against Buffalo, You're going on the road, You're

1938
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 2: playing outside for the first time all.

1939
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 3: Year, so you got all that done.

1940
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 2: You're right, man, we haven't played outside so wow these Yeah,

1941
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 2: we played inside the whole time the rooms open. But yeah,

1942
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 2: it's first time outside all year. So of course I've

1943
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 2: been checking the weather and all that. So you've got

1944
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 2: to deal with elements for the first time. You've got

1945
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 2: to deal with a pretty good and athletic defense, you know.

1946
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 2: I know they've got a couple of pieces missing. You know,

1947
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 2: Christian Barmer went on IR earlier and was missing the year.

1948
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 2: That's you know, he was a big fixture in the middle.

1949
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 2: But still they're they're solid and strong up front.

1950
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 7: Linebackers. They do some different things they're linebackers.

1951
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 2: They use some kind of hybrid guys a lot of

1952
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 2: times to play that linebacker spot. And the secondary is

1953
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 2: really good. So you know the offensive struggle, but you

1954
01:25:58,040 --> 01:25:58,920
Speaker 2: know with Drake May, you don't.

1955
01:25:59,040 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: You have no.

1956
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:02,280
Speaker 2: Idea, You have no idea what they'll they'll conjure up,

1957
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 2: just like in twenty sixteen.

1958
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:04,639
Speaker 7: And this is where it's similar.

1959
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 2: I remember we were down I think three to nothing

1960
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 2: or seven to nothing. Can't really move the ball offensively.

1961
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 2: The Patriots aren't really at that point either. But then

1962
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissette ran like this quarterback sweep and we didn't

1963
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 2: have anybody in the building close to him.

1964
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 7: Like nobody.

1965
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 2: He basically walked in from like the fifteen to or

1966
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty yard line just walked in and I'm like,

1967
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 2: oh boy, we're in trouble. And it was something that

1968
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 2: we hadn't seen or even thought about seating to the

1969
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,600
Speaker 2: Patriots because typically it was Brady or it was Garoppolo,

1970
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,639
Speaker 2: and we knew Brissett could move, but it just wasn't

1971
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,640
Speaker 2: something that they had shown because they didn't really have

1972
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 2: the quarterback to do it. Well, then they did it

1973
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 2: with Jacoby. Well, now they've got Drake May, so there's

1974
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 2: there are things that Drake's gonna be able to do

1975
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:50,480
Speaker 2: in moving out of the pocket. I wouldn't be surprised

1976
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 2: if we see a lot of Drake may moving out

1977
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 2: of the pocket scheduled rollouts, because putting him behind that

1978
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 2: offensive line that is banged up and really not good

1979
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 2: right now is a recipe for disaster. Now, they're gonna

1980
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 2: have to. They're gonna have to at some point you

1981
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 2: have to an NFL game. But I wouldn't be surprised

1982
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 2: that they moved the pocket all day, Boots keepers, whatever

1983
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 2: Alex van Pelt has got in his war chest of

1984
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:13,280
Speaker 2: plays that.

1985
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 7: Puts him on the move or gets him out of

1986
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:15,759
Speaker 7: that pocket.

1987
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna use so that he doesn't take

1988
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 2: an absolute beating from this pass rush.

1989
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:24,599
Speaker 8: Alex van Pelt not to be confused with Bradley Van's

1990
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 8: former Colorado State Bullet quarterback who. Next time you talk

1991
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 8: to David Anderson, if it's you or if it's you John, Yeah,

1992
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 8: ask him some Van Pelt stories and you'll get you

1993
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 8: get I think David Anderson should probably write, if he

1994
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 8: hasn't already, write a book about Bradley Van Pelt stories,

1995
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 8: because they're awesome.

1996
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 6: He's a unique dude on the field and off the field.

1997
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 8: I mean, he's got awesome, awesome stories about Bradley van Pelt.

1998
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 8: But that's neither here nor there. What I want to

1999
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 8: do now, John, is I want to raise a glass

2000
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 8: of medello to four and one.

2001
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:57,400
Speaker 6: Four and one.

2002
01:27:57,479 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 8: You got to go back to twenty twelve to find

2003
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 8: a better stary for your favorite football team. Five and

2004
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:04,559
Speaker 8: oh that year. I remember that one and there I've

2005
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 8: said it, You've said it. This year coming in, this season,

2006
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 8: coming in has felt very much like twenty twelve. But

2007
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:15,800
Speaker 8: you know, you've got a better quarterback, you know, knock

2008
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 8: to Max shob at all, but this guy is something else.

2009
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 8: So yeah, I'm pumped, and you should go up there

2010
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:27,000
Speaker 8: and you should stomp these guys, John.

2011
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I hope these guys.

2012
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 2: I mean again, when you go to a place a

2013
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 2: number one, just you know, want this team to continue.

2014
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,720
Speaker 7: To play good football.

2015
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 2: You know, we got news this morning that that Nico's

2016
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:42,880
Speaker 2: gone going on ir So that's gonna sting. It's gonna sting,

2017
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 2: it's gonna hurt. It's gonna be about four weeks. We

2018
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,560
Speaker 2: only thought a couple of weeks, maybe three, So you

2019
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 2: attack on another week, so he's gonna miss the next

2020
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:50,280
Speaker 2: three games.

2021
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 6: Get healthy, though, Just get the.

2022
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,599
Speaker 2: Colts right now, are dancing a jig because he's just

2023
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:57,879
Speaker 2: dominated the Colts. But he'll miss the next four games

2024
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:00,120
Speaker 2: at a minimum. Hopefully you'll be able to get him

2025
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 2: back at that point. But you still have Stefan Diggs,

2026
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 2: you have Tank Dell, so you're gonna have this. Xavier's

2027
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 2: played very very well. Ye, so I think you're not

2028
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 2: you're not lacking weapons at that particular position whatsoever, but

2029
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 2: you are now lacking more than likely the number one

2030
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 2: receiver in the league. Yeah, you're gonna have to learn

2031
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 2: how to deal with it. But I think that, as

2032
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 2: crazy as it sounds, that might be where Bobby Slow

2033
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:30,080
Speaker 2: could take advantage of the Patriots defense, like, Okay, they

2034
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 2: don't know what we're gonna do with Steph and Tank.

2035
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 7: They don't.

2036
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,719
Speaker 8: Still, that's a great points an equation changer.

2037
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:37,639
Speaker 7: Absolutely now teams.

2038
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:39,680
Speaker 2: Now the Packers might get a chance to look at

2039
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:40,759
Speaker 2: the Colts, et cetera.

2040
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 7: But uh, and then the Jets after that.

2041
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:45,559
Speaker 2: I hate that that Nico missed that Thursday night game

2042
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:47,800
Speaker 2: against the Jets too, because he got hurt in that

2043
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 2: game against the Jets last year.

2044
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:51,280
Speaker 7: But that's gonna be a big one.

2045
01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:54,840
Speaker 2: But I think you've got enough you've got enough ammunition

2046
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 2: up on a shelf that you should be able to

2047
01:29:57,560 --> 01:30:00,320
Speaker 2: go to New England and puts a point points on

2048
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 2: the board and then defensively, look, you held Josh Allen

2049
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:04,240
Speaker 2: a nine to thirty.

2050
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 7: You got one sack, but you're harassed him all day.

2051
01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:08,720
Speaker 7: And this is a a.

2052
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:12,839
Speaker 2: Offense line that's not of that caliber of the Bills.

2053
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:16,599
Speaker 2: And Drake May is not Josh Allen yet, but it's new.

2054
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:19,880
Speaker 2: He's new, and because he's new, you just don't know.

2055
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 8: Look at you, man, we're like stocked in him alone

2056
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:24,080
Speaker 8: because you're setting me up perfectly. And I'm not saying

2057
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 8: I'm alone or you're stocked, but it's kind of like that,

2058
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:29,439
Speaker 8: that partnership, because that sets us up perfectly for our

2059
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 8: cream of the crop.

2060
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:32,519
Speaker 5: The cream of the crop.

2061
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:35,280
Speaker 8: Thank you so much, macho man, Randy Savage, Cream of

2062
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 8: the Crop Award winner. So if the Texans come home

2063
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 8: at five and one next week, I think they're coming

2064
01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:45,519
Speaker 8: home at five and one because of one Will Anderson.

2065
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:47,759
Speaker 7: Unew That's what I was thinking. I was thinking about.

2066
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:50,559
Speaker 8: Him gonna get after the quarterback this week. He's been

2067
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:53,840
Speaker 8: he's been causing problems. Daniel Hunter has been causing problems.

2068
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,559
Speaker 8: Sack numbers not there, but it's clear that this defensive

2069
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:01,160
Speaker 8: line can generate a pass rush. Yep, hey, don't forget either.

2070
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 8: The Nico Autry is coming soon too. Yes, he'll be

2071
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 8: back soon. That's gonna be the last week of the suspension.

2072
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:08,880
Speaker 8: Derek Barnett steady as they come. Glad he's on this

2073
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 8: team too. But look out for Will Anderson this week.

2074
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 8: He's my Cream of the Crop Award predicted winner. I

2075
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:16,600
Speaker 8: think he's gonna do really, really good things. I like

2076
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:19,040
Speaker 8: what he has done so far, but I think it

2077
01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 8: goes up a notch against the Patriots this weekend.

2078
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:22,679
Speaker 6: Who's yours?

2079
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:24,840
Speaker 7: I would love to say Joe Mixon.

2080
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,599
Speaker 6: But I don't know, don't know Joe's health.

2081
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 2: I want to I saw Joe walking around the building

2082
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 2: yesterday Tuesday, because we're recording on Wednesday, But.

2083
01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:37,479
Speaker 7: I don't know.

2084
01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 2: If Joe plays, it's Joe, okay. If Joe doesn't play,

2085
01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say Aziz al Shire and.

2086
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 6: What a game he played?

2087
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:53,320
Speaker 7: The other unbelievable game. Unbelievable game. I don't know.

2088
01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 8: Drevia a chance to hear, Yeah, yeah, that's a great ego.

2089
01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:58,679
Speaker 8: He's so sick and he still comes out and does that. Yeah,

2090
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 8: he had a great interview with to Miko both after

2091
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 8: the game, you know, that day on the Coaches Show.

2092
01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:04,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, what I loved about it was he mentioned to

2093
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 2: his Ease because on the first drive, you go back

2094
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:07,840
Speaker 2: and watch it, you see he's missed a couple of

2095
01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 2: tackles on those fronts and coach was not happy about that.

2096
01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:14,760
Speaker 2: And he said, I'm sitting you down. And it was

2097
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:16,599
Speaker 2: so funny because de Miko's telling us this. He's doing

2098
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 2: this with a smile on his face. He's talking to us.

2099
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:19,840
Speaker 2: But I can't imagine there was not there was a

2100
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 2: smile on his face when he talked to his Ease.

2101
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 2: But he said they were on the sidelines. They talked

2102
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:26,880
Speaker 2: and he coaches words. They had words. Yeah, because he's

2103
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:28,439
Speaker 2: went back out there and I think played the best

2104
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 2: game he's played as a Texan.

2105
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:32,160
Speaker 7: He was incredible. He was all over the place.

2106
01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:33,799
Speaker 6: Almost picked off two passes too.

2107
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:36,559
Speaker 7: Almost picked one off and dropped the other one.

2108
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:37,040
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2109
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if there were stats, like if they're different

2110
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:43,559
Speaker 2: columns for there's like dropped interceptions, there are, Man, it

2111
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:47,160
Speaker 2: was a great play, just couldn't reel it in he

2112
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 2: would get one.

2113
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:51,080
Speaker 8: In those categories, there are stats and are the cold, limpless,

2114
01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:54,800
Speaker 8: undescriptive PD pass deflection yes.

2115
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:56,000
Speaker 7: Yes, absolutely what it is.

2116
01:32:56,080 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the back to back plays and I mean,

2117
01:32:57,560 --> 01:33:00,040
Speaker 2: I think they showed exactly what disease can do. So

2118
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:02,639
Speaker 2: uh Aziz has got a lot with Drake may Drake's

2119
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 2: gonna move. He's gonna be on the move. And that's

2120
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:09,519
Speaker 2: where Josh Allen really couldn't. I mean, he had some runs,

2121
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:13,559
Speaker 2: but when Josh went back to pass and then left

2122
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:15,760
Speaker 2: the pocket, Aziz was spying.

2123
01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:17,800
Speaker 7: Him the whole game and ran to him.

2124
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:21,439
Speaker 2: There's the after the fumble and the Bills had the

2125
01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:23,400
Speaker 2: ball close where if they score a touchdown and a

2126
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:27,320
Speaker 2: whole thing changes. Obviously, third down Josh gets out of

2127
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:29,080
Speaker 2: the pocket, I'm like, oh man, because it's away from

2128
01:33:29,120 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 2: me so I can't see you. And then I see

2129
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:32,960
Speaker 2: a Z's take off and I'm like, oh, Azs is

2130
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:35,559
Speaker 2: gonna get him. And right before he threw the ball,

2131
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:37,760
Speaker 2: Asese is like shoving him in the chest like to

2132
01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:40,559
Speaker 2: disrupt the throw and ends up being complete. They got

2133
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:42,320
Speaker 2: to settle for a field goal and it was massive,

2134
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:44,360
Speaker 2: and I think AUSESE is gonna be bigg as Drake

2135
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:45,400
Speaker 2: may for that reason.

2136
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:46,680
Speaker 6: I'm with you on that one. I'm gonna go.

2137
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:49,600
Speaker 8: Will you go, Azase If either of those do what

2138
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 8: we think or both of those do what they think

2139
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:55,679
Speaker 8: we think. Good times, Happy flight home, all right, John,
