1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: What's happening everybody.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: Welcome in to another edition of Texans Matchup. I am

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: your host, John Harris, satelline reporter for your Houston Texans,

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: and so glad for you to be with me this

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: evening because we get to do Texans Matchup after a win.

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 2: Now here's well, you know how matchup works. I do

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 2: it after every single game, no matter what. But I

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: never do it after the last game of the season.

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: So we won the last game of the season, so

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: I didn't get to do a Texans matchup after the

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 2: win over the Indianapolis Colts, which, if you heard Brevin Jordan,

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: you realize maybe that was a better thing that people

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: expected or thought at the time. It turned out to

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: be very good for many reasons, but the point being

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: I didn't do match up after that. It was after

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: the win against the Titans. I was the last one

17
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: that I've been able to do. But today ends that

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: bad streak and starts a good one, hopefully, as we

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: are going to break down the ultimate eleven moments of

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: the win over the Jacksonville j in Duval County thirty

21
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 2: seven to seventeen, A true team victory.

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: If there ever was one.

23
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: You'll hear more names in the Ultimate eleven tonight than

24
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: maybe I've ever had in an Ultimate eleven and it

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: was plays made by multiple players at the same time.

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: One play I can think of whose.

27
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: Three key guys, three guys that weren't even starters starting

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: the season and aren't starters, but they are so key

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: to this team's existence right now that came together on

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: one play. Two guys that are considered backups on the

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: depth chart that made a massive play.

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: One was a practice squad call up. One is a thirty.

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: Five year old legend, and it was just a team

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: victory all the way.

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: So that was fantastic.

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: Plus it's JJ Watt Day on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

37
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: So I'm bringing back a conversation that Mark and I did,

38
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: and I went back through the conversation and I kind of,

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 2: I kind of did.

40
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: It matchup style.

41
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: I kind of jazzed up with a lot of the

42
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: calls that Mark made for the great plays that JJ made,

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: and the memorable plays that JJ made his career. I

44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: thought about doing like a whole retrospective, but I needed

45
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: probably three hours because I started going through it and

46
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: I went through twenty twelve I'm like, oh my god,

47
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: I've got I've got enough here to do an hour

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: on half of twenty twelve. So I went and found

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: that conversation that we had back in June when it

50
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: was announced that October first would be JJ Day, and

51
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: we brought that back, spiced up a little bit. We'll

52
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: have that for you the next segment, and then we'll

53
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: take a quick run around Week three of the NFL,

54
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: and holy cow, it was unbelievable in Miami. I watched

55
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: that game on Monday when I got back because I

56
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: had to see it. I had to see what seventy

57
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: points looked like in a game, and it looked exactly

58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: like I expected. It was unbelievable by the Miami Dolphins.

59
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: We'll relive that a little bit, but we gotta get

60
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: to this ultimate eleven. I'm kind of danced around it.

61
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: So let's go and start at number eleven with one

62
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: of the key plays in the first half, and it's

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: gonna sound like a very simple completion right well. To

64
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: set it all up, the Texans have got the ball

65
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: laid in the first half, up fourteen and enough and

66
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: looking to put a few more points up on the

67
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: board if they could and so on third down, CJ

68
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: Stroud through to Tank Dell. I don't think Tank was

69
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: ultimately the number one wide receiver, and so Tank was

70
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: all the way by the sideline.

71
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: So initially, well, take a listen to what happened.

72
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: Texans had a third down and six at the Houston

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: thirty eight yard line.

74
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 4: CJ will do his best. He's in the gun.

75
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: Two receivers stacked wide side left, Singletary in the backfield

76
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: with Scroud.

77
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: CJ takes the snap, CJ throwing the right.

78
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 3: Sideline god is Man Dell out of bounce first down

79
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: Heston at the forty five yard sings out of bounds.

80
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: He got pushed as the ball went into the bread

81
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: basket and apparently didn't keep the feet down. We're waiting

82
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: on a replay. They won't show on up on the

83
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: big video board here. After reviewing the play, the receiver

84
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: controlled the ball and got two feet in bounds. That's

85
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: a catch.

86
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 4: It was right at to line the game, which is

87
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 4: the forty four yard line.

88
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: It'll be first and ten from there, thirty two seconds

89
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: on the game clock.

90
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: Thirty two.

91
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: That tiny little toe cut just enough for the Duvall

92
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: County EverBank stadium grass and it gave the Texans a

93
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: first down. That was a double whammie for Jacksonville. Not

94
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: only was it complete, Tank had enough for the first down.

95
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: It came in at number eleven because there's so many

96
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: great plays, but it was key because a few plays

97
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: later Texans were able to kick a feud goal and

98
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: take a seventeen to nothing lead on into the half.

99
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: But a great play there by Tank Dell, who is outstanding.

100
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: I got a feeling you're gonna hear a little bit

101
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: more from that man and his quarterback see j stodd All. Right,

102
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: let's get the number ten. And this is one of

103
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: those plays I was talking about a little while. The

104
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: defense against Indianapolis Colts going back a week Yeah, not great.

105
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: Didn't generate any TfL, didn't generate any quarterback hits or

106
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: sacks or anything. I think there were two quarterback hits

107
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: and they were both Will Anderson. So the defense had

108
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: to rise up. And I remember before the game, I

109
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: was gonna foot around on the field and just kind

110
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: of taking in the scene, and I just I sensed

111
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: a different energy and it kind of started with the

112
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: defensive the lineman. I was listening to the defensive lineman.

113
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: They were kind of, you know, really jovial and you know,

114
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: really excited.

115
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: You know.

116
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: Part of that had to do with John Grenard's wife

117
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: who was gonna have a baby on Sunday night, and

118
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: so JG was there and they were excited about that,

119
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: and so there just felt like there was a little

120
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: bit more energy involved and I loved it.

121
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: And it really came through with two guys.

122
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: One guy thirty five years old, still getting it done

123
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: in the NFL. One guy was a practice squad call

124
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: up who won a world championship with the us F

125
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: fell in July. That's Jerry Hughes and Khalil Davis at

126
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: number ten. They combined for this TfL.

127
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: First down at the Texans twenty two. Now they go

128
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 3: offset with a pistol and a handoff here to Etn

129
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: and the Texans are all over it for a loss.

130
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: A TfL by Houston. Khalil Davis and Jerry Hughes getting

131
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: back there and the Texans had no TFLs against the

132
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: Colts last week at NRG Stadium.

133
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 4: Good start here this set of downs.

134
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 3: After the big play to ingram Ball backed up to

135
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: the twenty four yard line at second down, and twelve.

136
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: All right, s get to number nine.

137
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: Number nine comes in three parts because there were three

138
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: key plays we played. I guess what would have been

139
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: the fourth play of that mix was Tank making the

140
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: catch on the sideline on the final drive of the

141
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: first half. But there were three plays that followed, and

142
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 2: I'm putting right here at number nine. One first play

143
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: A was a throw to Robert Woods.

144
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 3: Third down and one at the Jacksonville forty seven yard line.

145
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 3: Here to snap the CJ. CJ fires caught by Woods

146
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: inside the forty down of the thirty nine yard line.

147
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: The Texans have to burn another time.

148
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: Out perfect, I'm out Houston, perfect four seconds, thirty seconds.

149
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Drey was captured right there.

150
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: They only spent four seconds, but they picked it up

151
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: on the throat of Woods, and that would lead to

152
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: be this throw from CJ stride to Nico Collins.

153
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: Second down and ten at the Jaguar thirty nine yard line.

154
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: Texans right back to it, bunch formation, widside left stroud

155
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: empty backfield. Now after a motion by Singletary, CJ takes

156
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: the snap. CJ, looking right over the middle, eg goes,

157
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: he hits Nico thirty twenty five breaks the tackle twenty

158
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: fifteen Nico down to the ten yard line, three seconds

159
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: to go. They got to burn that final timeout.

160
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 4: He almost made it. He split the defense and almost

161
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: came through clean.

162
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: He was right there where I saw Demko Ryan's right

163
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: in front of me. And this is why I asked

164
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: him in halftime hour. His hamstrings were. He sprinted down

165
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: from the coaches box to get the attention of the

166
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: referee about three seconds left and he was flying down

167
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: there and it led to three from Kaymi and that's nine.

168
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: See twenty eight yard attempts here for fair Baron left

169
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: hash mark three seconds to go, fourteen nothing lead Houston.

170
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: Fair Barn trying to send the Texans into the locker room.

171
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: PA score lead yep, John Weeks will snap, Zettner will

172
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: hold left hash mark spot twenty eight yard kick.

173
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 4: Here's the snap.

174
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: Fairbarn's kick is up and fair Baron drills it as

175
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: the Texans lead to Jaguars seventeen nothing as time expires

176
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 3: in the first half.

177
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 4: Let them have it.

178
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: What a first half by Tamiko Ryans Houston Texans.

179
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: Oh those boos sounded so lovely.

180
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: I mean, that was just incredibly nice to hear a

181
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: home team that.

182
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: Wasn't us getting boot off the field. That was great,

183
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: all right.

184
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: Let's get to number eight and it was planting the

185
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: steak in the ground and Damian Pierce scoring his first

186
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: touchdown of the year to give the Texans a seven

187
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: to nothing lead.

188
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: Second to goal from the one I formation. Here's Pierce

189
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 3: running left, Pierce to the goal line, pierces in touchdown Houston.

190
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: Yes, Sarah, that was the oat Joe.

191
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: Damian Pierce scoring from one yard out, just as he

192
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 2: did last year to give the Texans a lead in

193
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: the game in twenty twenty two. That was a w

194
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: he gives him the lead here seven to nothing. However,

195
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: the Texans would score way more than thirteen on this day. Now,

196
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 2: how did they get to the one yard line? Well,

197
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: I'm glad you asked. The first drive of the game

198
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 2: for the Texans a three and out and a brutally

199
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: bad three and out, and I just thought, oh boy,

200
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: But the defense came out and got a stop after

201
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: McManus miss. That gave the Texans great fuel position after

202
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: the miss. Eventually you would have CJ. Stroud looking deep

203
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: now should've been looking deep. Who knows, but the Jaguars

204
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: the Jaguars blew this coverage. They Rayshawn Jenkins I think

205
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: was supposed to be deeper, but he was messed around

206
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: down by the box and Tank Dell just ran by everybody. C. J.

207
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: Stroud saw him and dropped this one from the Heavens.

208
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: It comes in at number seven.

209
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: Second down and seven from the forty eight of the Jags.

210
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: Stroud takes the Gibb now guns long downfield and he

211
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: wants tag Tell and Dell has that catch inside the

212
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: one yard line. Stop there, big play to tach Tell.

213
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: That was number seven from the Heavens, from number seven

214
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: to number three to the one where the Texans would

215
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: lead by seven a few plays later.

216
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: Ah, how about all that? That was really good?

217
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to number six, and this is

218
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: one of these plays that I was talking about earlier.

219
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: The Texans were without Denzel Perriman and they were without

220
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: Jalen Petrie.

221
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: Those are two starters on this team.

222
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: So this play is an amalgamation, I guess, of three

223
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: different players that weren't starters going in but have become

224
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: very important complimentary pieces on this defense. And they all

225
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 2: started on Sunday and all did incredibly well. This is

226
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: a third down throw from I think it was a

227
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 2: third down or second aunt throw, but it was near

228
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: the end of the first half. Jaguars were down fourteen

229
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 2: to h and they started to drive. Jamal Agnew was

230
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: a lone receiver in a three by one set, so

231
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: he was on the left side, so he was running

232
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: kind of a deep glance route and Trevor ripped one

233
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: to him, hit him right in a chest with the ball.

234
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: As he started up the field, rookie Henry Totoa grabbed

235
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: him around the legs started to spin him, so he really,

236
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: you know, kind of was losing his balance a little bit.

237
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: Eric Murray came in and dropped the hammer. They knocked

238
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: the ball out. It was recovered by Blake Cashman. The

239
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: Texans would then go down to kick a field goal

240
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: right at the end of the half.

241
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: This was a three point saving play.

242
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: It was by three guys that have been instrumental for

243
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: this defense and were instrumental on Sunday.

244
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: Will continue to be. This is a fumble force by Henry.

245
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: Toatoa and the hit by Eric Murray and the recovery

246
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: by Blake Cashman.

247
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 3: Third down and ten at the Houston forty five yard line.

248
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 4: Big down to say the least.

249
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 3: Here with a minute thirteen to go on a second

250
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: at a fourteen to nothing, Houston lead Trevor Lawrence shotgun

251
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: bunch formation, wifeside right, one back etn agnew short side left.

252
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: Gotta watch the screen to him. Lawrence takes the snap.

253
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 3: Here's pressure Lawrence firing over the middle. He got a

254
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 3: man at the thirty yard line. The ball is out

255
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: of the Texans pick it up. They've got the rock

256
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: at the thirty three yard line. The takeaway by the Texans.

257
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: Big hit by Eric Murray on the back end and.

258
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: Blake Cashman recovers the fumble. What a shot by Murray.

259
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta say this about Eric Murray roe fast

260
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: because I know when Eric Murray signed there were so

261
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: many There's so much noise about it here in Houston,

262
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: back in the COVID year of twenty twenty, so much noise,

263
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,479
Speaker 2: and I really don't think that Eric Murray has received

264
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: his just due, to be honest with you. He started

265
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: the first couple of years and last year he moved

266
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: into a special teams backup role and he played that

267
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: role perfectly till the end of the year. When they

268
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: wanted to rotate the safeties a little bit. Eric came

269
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: in and did his thing, and he's done the same

270
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: thing here. When Jalen Petrie went down, Eric Murray stepped in,

271
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: and when he went out of the game against the

272
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: Colt you could tell how much this defense was missing

273
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: Eric Murray, and he came through a big plays all

274
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 2: day against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I get props to guys

275
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: like that that they just do whatever job they are

276
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: asked to. And Eric Murray, forever to me, will be

277
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: that guy. A guy that asked to do something, he

278
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: did it. Special teams got it, strong safety got it,

279
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: free safety got it. Nickel got it, linebacker got it.

280
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: Be a guy that backs up and brings energy, got it.

281
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: Make big plays against Jacksonville got it well. He Totoe

282
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: and Cashman linked up on play number six. All right,

283
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: let's get to play number five right here, and we

284
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: go back to one of those three guys and it

285
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: was Blake Cashman playing his first game of the twenty

286
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: twenty three season. This was as a big an interception

287
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,359
Speaker 2: as the Texans have had. B It was as athletic

288
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: an interception as the Texans have had.

289
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: And see it.

290
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: Was probably the dagger final dagger in the Jaguars this day.

291
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: Blake Cashman comes at number five with this pick.

292
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: Third and seven Jaguars at their thirty eight Lawrence and

293
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: the gun back to his left, two receivers left side.

294
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 3: Lawrence gets the snap, Texans showing pressure.

295
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 4: Here's the throw over.

296
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: The middle, picked off at the fifty yard line.

297
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: Texans have it Blake Cashman.

298
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: With the I int all right, it's get to number

299
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: four and this one comes from four yards out and

300
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: I'd like to say, I don't want to use the

301
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: word retribution, redemption. I don't know what you want to

302
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: call it for Rev and Jordan, but it was just

303
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: one badass, cool moment for the third year tight end

304
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: out of the University of Miami, guy from Las Vegas.

305
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: And what I loved about this play a number of things.

306
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: Number one of the fact that that Brev scored.

307
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: I love seeing it.

308
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: He's got such a great smile, such a great energy,

309
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: and when he's going well, I think this offense really

310
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: could go to another level to have he and Dalton

311
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: Schultz at tight end making plays like this. The other

312
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: part of this play was preparation, and I remember doing

313
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: a show with Seth Payne on Sports Radio six ten,

314
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: and it was after Bobby Slow camen Hire has offense COORDINATORD.

315
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: One of the things that he remembered Bobby talking about

316
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: was precision, how precise everything had to be. And with

317
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: precision comes a lot of practice. I mean you got

318
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: to sometimes take a full period of practice to work

319
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: on one particular thing, and that's what this was. I

320
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: remembered the Texans running this play entire period in practice

321
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: and just individual and so you know, period practice has

322
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: broken up different periods, and so at the beginning you

323
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: do a lot of individual work. So it's the units

324
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: like DBS linebackers, they're kind of off on their own.

325
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: Then there's unit work where the DB's linebackers work together,

326
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: the OD line and the tight ends work together, and

327
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: then there's teamwork at the end.

328
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: So this is an individual.

329
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: Period and the quarterbacks, wide receivers, tight ends, running backs

330
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: were all working on this one play right here, over

331
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: and over and over and over again. And I remember thinking, Okay,

332
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: this is kind of interesting. I wonder how often the

333
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: run this Well, it happened right here on this throw

334
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: to Brevin Jordan.

335
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: It comes in at number four.

336
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: Third and long one inside the Jacksonville five. Stroud and

337
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: the gun bone to his left. Dell in motion to

338
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 3: the left. CJ takes the snap looking left, throws that way. Man,

339
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: it's caught. Touchdown Brevin Jordan, Texans gon up two scores tonight.

340
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 4: I'm Jacksonville and welcome.

341
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: Back Brevin who played last week and cash is in

342
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: for six this week.

343
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 2: Brevs first touchdown of the year comes in at number four,

344
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: and it gave the Texans a fourteen to nothing lead.

345
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: Now, let's rewind a little bit when it was seven

346
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: and nothing.

347
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: The Jaguars had got a little bit of a drive

348
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: going just a few plays earlier, but it bogged down

349
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: the Texans defense stopped him. It was time for a

350
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: field goal attempt. Now, Brandon mcmanuson pushed the first one

351
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: wide right right over my head, just like he did

352
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen in Denver for the Texans to keep

353
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 2: alive there winning streak. This field goal never got close

354
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: to being over my head because one Will Anderson Junior

355
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: ninth through and blocked it.

356
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: And this play comes in at number three.

357
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 3: It's fourth in every bit of three yards and this

358
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 3: is going to be a fifty one yard attempt for

359
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 3: Brandon McManus.

360
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 4: We've already missed today, white hash marks spot.

361
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: Kicker is up, it's blocked and the Texans are on

362
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: the move, try to chase it.

363
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 4: They can't get to it.

364
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 3: Big scrum still battling for it, and Houston has the ball.

365
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 4: To the forty one yard line.

366
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: They wanted to go on a run with it, Anderson

367
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 3: could not scoop it up. But the Texans have the

368
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: ball in Jack's territory after the blocked field goal.

369
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: So how did three lead to four?

370
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: Well, Will blocked it, Texans moved down, got it to

371
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: the four yard line. CJ hit Brev complimentary football at

372
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 2: its best. All right, let's get the number two and

373
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: it's twenty seven to seventeen. The Jaguars have landed. Some

374
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: body blows in the second half on the Texans, but

375
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: the Texans never backed down. Why Well, because CJ. Stroud

376
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: is scared of no man and he had looked up

377
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: at one point. I saw this in pregame and I

378
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: wondered if CJ would see this, what he would think.

379
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 2: So I was on the field waiting for the team

380
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: to come out at halftime, and at halftime they were

381
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 2: doing kind of an animated cartoon version of Jackson Deville

382
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: punching CJ. Stroud and it was like a rock'm soccer

383
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: robots thing, and happened to look up and see it,

384
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: and as he was coming on the field and he

385
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 2: turned to one of his teammates and he's like, hey,

386
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: look at the screen, and he just started chuckling. Well,

387
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 2: it was CJ who would land the rock 'em sock

388
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: them blow right here with this sixty eight yard bomb

389
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 2: on third down to Tank Dell to put the nail

390
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: in the Jaguars coffin Stroud.

391
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 3: Talking to his teammates. Thirty three from the Houston, thirty

392
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 3: two CJ and the gun, one back boom. CJ gets

393
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 3: the snap. Here comes the blift, CJ firing.

394
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 4: Daffield to his right and Tank has it. At the

395
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 4: forty thirty the twenty ten.

396
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 3: Five touchdown, Tank Dell to the house. Wow, sixty eight

397
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 3: yards the rookie scores.

398
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: I saw that ball in the air and before CJ

399
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: threw it, I looked and I saw a tank and

400
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 2: I said to mark, Tank's wide open. But Tank's head

401
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: was turned because of the route that they had caught

402
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 2: that and luckily Tank got his head around and CJ

403
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 2: gave a ball. He didn't fire it to him and

404
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: he didn't lob it to him. It was kind of

405
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 2: a in between ball and landed and as it was

406
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: coming down Tank got his head. It was just perfect

407
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: because Tank was able to turn his body, catch the

408
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 2: ball in stride and to beat everybody to the house.

409
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 2: That came in at number two, but on this day

410
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: it's number two. Normally I've been number one. But when

411
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: Andrew Beck runs back in the eighty five yard kickoff return, incredulously,

412
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: uh midst number one, no question.

413
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 4: Brandon McManus.

414
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 3: We'll kick off Fromara left to right with Mike Boone

415
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 3: back deep, one yard deep at the end zone. Last

416
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 3: time he let it bounce and this is going to

417
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 3: be inside the tent and this is dropped picked up

418
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: by Beck.

419
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 4: Beck still going running to the right side. Beck has

420
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 4: some room.

421
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: Twenty five, thirty, thirty five, forty, He's at the fifty,

422
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: he's at the forty five on Jacksonville. Beck across the thirty,

423
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 3: the twenty, the fifteenth, ten to five, Are you kidding?

424
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: Rock and roll? Touchdown? Kusten, My goodness, oh my Beck

425
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: picked up the ball. The earth started shaking in North Florida,

426
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 3: and he ran on the right side and found the

427
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 3: lane to the end zone.

428
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 2: There's so many improbable aspects to that play you can't

429
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: even put him in one show. But Andrew Beck, I

430
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: don't want to say he saved the day, but my goodness,

431
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: he saved the day. What an unbelievable, unbelievable play. And

432
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: hopefully there's more. I mean, it's.

433
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: Improbable as it gets.

434
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: Maybe about as improbable as a young man who was

435
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 2: a walk on delivering pizzas to pay for his schooling

436
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: at the University of Wisconsin turning into an All Pro

437
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame player. That would be JJ Watt. We

438
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: celebrate him next right here in Texas Matchup. Yes, sir,

439
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: welcome back to Texans Matchup. And I'm your host, John

440
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 2: Harris Football on a Sideline reporter, and I want to

441
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: take you back to a conversation that Mark and I

442
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: had back on June twelfth, twenty twenty three. That day's

443
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: probably gonna be remembered by a lot of people, especially

444
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: a lot of JJ Watt fans. Why well, if you

445
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 2: remember prior to that, that was a Monday. Prior to

446
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: that Monday, the Texans Twitter account put out a silhouette

447
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: of a player and just the date June twelfth, twenty

448
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: twenty three. That was all they put out, and everybody

449
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: was left to speculate, and boy, there was a lot

450
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: of speculation about what that could be. People were like, oh,

451
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 2: we got a player, we got this. It turned out

452
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 2: it was maybe even more important or more special than

453
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: a player coming in or a hire of some sort.

454
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: It was JJ Watt was going into the Ring of

455
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: Honor Day and it was going to be this Sunday,

456
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 2: October one, twenty twenty three, and Mark Vandermier and I

457
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 2: decided we needed to spend some time talking about JJ,

458
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 2: our memories of JJ. Figured this would be a great

459
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: spot to bring that conversation back to you.

460
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 5: I mentioned the date of six dot twelve dot twenty

461
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 5: twenty three for a particular reason, that reason which was

462
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 5: brilliantly done, because on was.

463
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 6: A Thursday or Friday, I think it was Friday, right, yep.

464
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 5: When our social media group just tweeted a silhouette of

465
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 5: a Texans player and the date, and.

466
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 6: That was it.

467
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 5: And I thought it was perfect because it was you

468
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 5: had no idea what it was, and people were speculating

469
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 5: about a lot of different things, jerseys, helmets, could be

470
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 5: a new coach, new players, new knew somebody. What it

471
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 5: was was an announcement. The ninety nine is going into

472
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 5: the Ring of Honor. That's right, JJ Watt coming back home.

473
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 5: And if you haven't seen the videos, you need to

474
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 5: go see them. JJ discussing his time in Houston. How

475
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 5: happy he's coming home. Our man Tyler Sutnarth put out

476
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 5: a tremendous video recapping JJ's career, narrated by Jim Nance

477
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 5: all of it. Mark, we do this on Monday sometimes.

478
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 5: This is just going to open up artist conversation. Yep,

479
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 5: gut reaction. Ninety nine coming back home October one against

480
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh Steelers so his brothers can be in the

481
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 5: building for this. I think this is just absolutely tremendous.

482
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 5: JJ Watt going thto the Ring of Honor.

483
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 3: I don't know how we're gonna do it yet, because

484
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: we've done him at the half with mister McNair and

485
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: with Andrey Johnson, and I don't know if you can

486
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: do it at the half with TJ. If you want

487
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 3: TJ and Derek, presuming Derek is still on the team.

488
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 3: If you want them to be with him when he's

489
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 3: inducted the ceremony would do with the half that is

490
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: going to eliminate them, right, They've got to be in

491
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 3: the lot and room with the team, of course, and

492
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 3: JJ would understand that, and he would get that, of course.

493
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 4: But maybe you do a pregame. I don't know.

494
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 3: Maybe it's different this time. We'll see how they want

495
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 3: to put it together. But I'm thrilled. How could I

496
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 3: not be thrilled. It was so sad two years ago

497
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: plus when he left and went to go play for

498
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals. It was just the Texans going into

499
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: a different dimension. And I'm always optimistic and I'm always

500
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 3: looking at the bright side of things. You know this,

501
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: I'm the Norman Vincent Peel of sports talk radio and

502
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: sports broadcasting. But it was a different era of Texans history.

503
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: It feels like we're coming out of that era in

504
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 3: such a big way, just storming out of that era

505
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 3: and swarming because Dimico gets hired. Draft Day was what

506
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: it was, Draft Night, the opening night, and then the

507
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: rest of it, of course, and then you have this,

508
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 3: You have JJ Watt returning home where he belongs as

509
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 3: a Houston, Texan immortalized those who want the one day

510
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 3: contract or are complaining about it. How could you complain

511
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 3: about not having a one day contract? They just I

512
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 3: guess both parties are greed. Let's just not do it

513
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 3: that way. This is way more important. You get that today. Anyway,

514
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: you weren't gonna be present for it, and he's gonna

515
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 3: have a media availability, so there, you're.

516
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 4: Gonna get all that anyway.

517
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, but immortalize them in the Ring of Honor. That's

518
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 3: what matters here. And then ultimately Canton, of course.

519
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 6: And that's coming.

520
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 5: So twenty I'm just I'm trying to last season was

521
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two, so five years twenty twenty seven. Now

522
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 5: hopefully we're making a trip up there before that for eighty,

523
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 5: which should happen before that. But it's the fact that

524
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 5: in the next five years we can be making a

525
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 5: couple of trips up to Canton. Will be absolutely badass,

526
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 5: and I'm looking forward to that.

527
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 6: This was this was ninety nine's day and what I tweeted.

528
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 5: You mentioned the Cardinals and there are so many things

529
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 5: to talk about with JJ. I think some of the

530
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 5: best stories I have ended up being off the field.

531
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 5: Or at the end of the game in this case,

532
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 5: but we went to go players on a twenty one

533
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 5: because the last time I've seen JJ and when he

534
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 5: left here in early twenty one to go to Arizona.

535
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 5: So we see him the last game and that's that.

536
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 5: And it happens a lot of times. You know, in

537
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 5: the NFL.

538
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 6: It's kind of schools out right, right. Students go home

539
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 6: for the summer, and you know.

540
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 5: We still come to work here at the building and

541
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 5: in the building and do what we got to do.

542
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 5: But we don't see those guys for three four months,

543
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 5: and then we have the desert and then they're back

544
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 5: for the season. We see him every day. So when

545
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 5: JJ played that last game against Tennessee, that was it.

546
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 5: That was the last time that we had seen him

547
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 5: for most of us. So he goes to Arizona. We're

548
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 5: playing Arizona that came remember a week five, Week seven,

549
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 5: We go out to Arizona and I've never done this.

550
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 5: At the end of the game and I thought, yeah,

551
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 5: I'm gonna maybe I can.

552
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 6: Catch a minute with DeAndre. Maybe I'd catch him minute

553
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 6: with JJ.

554
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 5: So I happened to see DeAndre first and I talked

555
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 5: to him and that well broke me up. And I

556
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 5: turned around and I just thought, okay, well can I

557
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 5: get to JJ? And JJ had just finished talking to

558
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 5: somebody and I just happened to catch his eye. He

559
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 5: was about to go off the field and he stopped

560
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 5: and he came back to me, the sha my hand

561
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 5: and give me a hug, and he I just remember

562
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 5: the only thing I remember him saying was don't worry, John,

563
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 5: It's gonna be all right. Don't worry. It's gonna be okay.

564
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 5: And I'm like, how the heck does he know to

565
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 5: reassure me at this moment, like, you know, it's hard.

566
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 5: I mean, we just got crushed, so maybe he was,

567
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 5: but it was like, it's gonna be okay. And I

568
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 5: tweeted today, well now it's okay. Now it's okay because

569
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,239
Speaker 5: he's back where where I think Houston fans know he

570
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 5: belongs where he probably down deep knew he belonged in

571
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 5: this city. And it's weird because one of the things

572
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 5: I thought about Mark, I thought about this, and I

573
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 5: don't know, it's just the way that I'm wired. He

574
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 5: was so good, he was so good in so many

575
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 5: different ways. I always thought about that day when he

576
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 5: would finally say I'm done, I'm no longer playing for

577
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 5: this team, and like what that was going to be like.

578
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 5: And I just you know, when he retired, it was

579
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 5: kind of that moment too of like oh my god,

580
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 5: Like he's the greatest I've ever seen live and now.

581
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 6: I don't get to se him anymore. We don't get

582
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 6: to see him anymore.

583
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 5: It's kind of strange, but today the ring of honor,

584
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 5: you know, obviously we get a little bit of heads

585
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 5: up and all that, so we kind of had a feeling.

586
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 5: You know, we knew what the silhouette was all about,

587
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 5: and there were a lot of people that kind of

588
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 5: picked it out and knew it so we could be

589
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 5: prepared with content and things like that.

590
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 6: But it was just it was like, yeah, it just

591
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 6: so much.

592
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 5: About it felt right timing wise, with everything that's gone

593
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 5: on this offseason, there's just so much about it that

594
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 5: just felt right, like it was the right the right

595
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 5: thing at the right time. I just always felt Mark,

596
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 5: we would be doing this in twenty five or twenty six,

597
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 5: you know, I thought it's lay longer.

598
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought there would be a few more years.

599
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 5: I think the toll of seventeen, sixteen, seventeen, and then part.

600
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 4: Of nineteen nineteen and then twenty one.

601
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, twenty one.

602
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Johnny last year he stayed healthy for the

603
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 3: most part, right.

604
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, twenty two.

605
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think that that was and I thought

606
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: maybe that would carry him to another season, like, well,

607
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 3: I made it b one more. But he's been through

608
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 3: it enough to know, Hey, there're no guarantees, and he's

609
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: not Andrew Luck in this way.

610
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 4: But I look at him in a Luck like way.

611
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: Some o the things that Luck or people talked about

612
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 3: Luck experiencing, which was do you really want to go

613
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 3: through another long term rehab? You've done it so many times.

614
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: If it happens again, people assume, oh, you just see

615
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: it up. You'll be back in a few months. The

616
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: money's great, why wouldn't you do it.

617
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 4: What they have to.

618
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 3: Go through, they meaning those that have to recover to

619
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 3: get back to the starting line of a game day,

620
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: never mind the season, a game day, just to play

621
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: a game is so difficult, arduous. The way he works, Yeah,

622
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: he felt like it was done. I mean, Andre's talked

623
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 3: about this. You know it as a player, you just

624
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: know it. You know when it's time he knew it

625
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 3: was time now back to us, because that's the most

626
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: important thing. He belongs to us, and it felt weird

627
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 3: that he was a Cardinal.

628
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: I have a.

629
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 5: Picture that I think it was Michelle, I can't remember

630
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 5: who took it. I have a pick sure shaking hands

631
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 5: with him like at that moment, shaking hands with him

632
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 5: at the end of the game, and he's in a

633
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 5: Cardinals jersey and I look at that. I'm perplexed by it. Yeah,

634
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 5: I'm perplexed, Like what to do. It's a great.

635
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 3: Picture, odd looking thing, just as strange, and he played

636
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: well there, but.

637
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 4: It's an odd looking look. Same with DeAndre.

638
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 3: It's kind of a sweet uniform in its own way,

639
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 3: but it just doesn't look right on them to me.

640
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 3: And for JJ to be a Texan again, that's how

641
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 3: I feel, and I think that's how people in the

642
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 3: building feel. He's a Texan again. He's one of us,

643
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: and I think the fans feel that way. And he

644
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 3: said it, you know, I'm a Texan and that is beautiful.

645
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 3: It's very special to have the bond with the athlete again.

646
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: It feels like, oh, we are one again, and you know,

647
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: Andre Johnson, it felt like that as well, because Andre

648
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 3: became a cult and then a Titan and ultimately came

649
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 3: back to the Texans where he belongs. And it was

650
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 3: such a good feeling because you if a player leaves,

651
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 3: a player of that stature leaves, you just kind of,

652
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, white knuckling it until they can be

653
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 3: done with their career and you can absorb them back

654
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 3: into your fold. And that's what's happened first with Andre

655
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 3: Johnson years ago and now with JJ Watt, And it's

656
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 3: a beautiful thing that he's going into the Ring of Honor,

657
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 3: and I hope I get to do what I did

658
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: with Andre Johnson and mister McNair, which is be up

659
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 3: there and make the announcements and bring up the mcnairs

660
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 3: and see that red jacket put on and them getting

661
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 3: inducted into the Ring of Honor, and make sure it's

662
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 3: a size whatever it is for J they will right,

663
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: they'll love the right size.

664
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 6: They'll have the right size. Yeah, but there's no question

665
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 6: I wrote up.

666
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 5: It's actually I don't even really writing an article because

667
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 5: the article I wrote was after he retired and I

668
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 5: talked about I said I wouldn't tell that story about

669
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 5: you know, JJ my son and shoes, you know. So

670
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 5: you can see the link to that because I put

671
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 5: that in the article. But it's really just a compilation

672
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 5: of all the different times I did illustrator on you

673
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 5: know play, and I guarantee you there are a dozen more.

674
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 5: I just couldn't find him. I just I found what

675
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 5: I found what I could of things. And I remember

676
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 5: going through kind of illustrator think tank, like okay, what

677
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 5: am I going to do this week?

678
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 6: What's a what's a good play to do? And I

679
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 6: always knew.

680
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 5: I always knew that, Okay, spread the wealth, make sure

681
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 5: that you come makes you give as much love to everybody.

682
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 5: It's the time, you know, there's some guys making plays

683
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 5: and you know, dudes doing some things, and DeAndre was

684
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 5: doing stuff on the offensive side, will Fuller.

685
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 6: And all that kind of stuff. So I always knew

686
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 6: to spread the wealth.

687
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 5: But my god, there were so many times that I

688
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 5: would I would go through and be like, I want

689
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 5: to tell straight this of what JJ did today. I

690
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 5: want to illustrate this. I want to illustraight this play.

691
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 5: And I found a few and so you could see

692
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 5: many articles the pick six against Detroit in twenty twenty,

693
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 5: the hundred sack that he had his hundred sack which

694
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 5: ended up coming against Jacksonville in twenty twenty as well.

695
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 5: And I know a lot of people think about twenty

696
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 5: seventeen and they think, oh, that was a lost season

697
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 5: because he got hurt against the Chiefs. But I did

698
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 5: a t illustrator week three against the Patriots, and he

699
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 5: does something in that game that was just otherworldly.

700
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 3: First down at the New England forty nine yard line

701
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 3: and a handoff to Mike Keilliesley popped out for a

702
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 3: loss by JJ Watt.

703
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 6: And I remember watching it.

704
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 5: I remember watching it live, going, okay, jjman another play,

705
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 5: no surprise tackle for a loss or maybe like a

706
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 5: stuff at the line of scrimmage. But when I watched

707
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 5: it on film, I was I was mesmerized by how

708
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 5: incredible what he had just done was.

709
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 3: It was.

710
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 4: It was incredible. So I tellstrated that.

711
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 5: And then of course the sack against Buffalo the playoff game,

712
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 5: and we actually had Jacob Martin. You'll hear that interview

713
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 5: probably the next couple of weeks that we did with

714
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 5: Jacob Martin, and we were talking about that that Buffalo

715
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 5: game and Jacob has the big sack on Josh Allen

716
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 5: at the end of the game or right before regulations out.

717
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 6: But JJ has this sack that turns that game.

718
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 3: Around third down and eight at the Houston twelve, LUs

719
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 3: Blunt right side, Allen takes the snap on third.

720
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 4: Down, He's got time. How he stacked back at the

721
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 4: twenty three yard line.

722
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: By j J.

723
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 4: What on the Crowder ups.

724
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 5: And it's the last time that JJ and TJ actually

725
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 5: were in an RG together because TJ was up in

726
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 5: the box watching a game. So I did those on

727
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 5: tellustrator and one I didn't do, and I know I

728
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 5: have it somewhere, Mark, I just can't find anywhere, but

729
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 5: doing a tllustrator of the interception against the Bengals, the

730
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 5: one that sort of signaled his arrival, if you will,

731
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 5: because it felt like after that play against the Bengals,

732
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 5: his star went to a whole different stratosphere. I mean

733
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 5: it went to I mean, obviously the next year is

734
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 5: twenty sacks, he's defensive MVP, but it felt like that

735
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 5: play triggered even the next week against Baltimore. I know

736
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 5: he was the defense was tremendous in a game, but

737
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 5: he was great. But from that point on, he went

738
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 5: to a different level. I wish I wish I could

739
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 5: find that Telstraer film room that we did of that

740
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 5: that pick six against Cincinnati, because that thing is special.

741
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 3: It is, and that all that postseason I should say,

742
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 3: I remember he said, because I asked him in the offseason,

743
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 3: what did you learn? What was the difference between the

744
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: rookie season regular campaign and the postseason campaign part of

745
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 3: it where he had what two and a half sacks

746
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 3: and the pick six and Brooks Reid had a couple

747
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 3: of sacks two and a half sacks. I think in

748
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 3: that postseason twenty eleven he said, I figured a few

749
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 3: things out.

750
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 4: I figured a few things out. So there it is.

751
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 3: And we were talking with and we'll hear this interview

752
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 3: at some point soon Jacob Martin about figuring things out

753
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 3: versus college in the NFL and that process. Well, obviously

754
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 3: JJ went through it pretty quickly to become an elite player,

755
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 3: because within a year he was an elite player of

756
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 3: this league. I mean, twenty twelve Defensive Player of the

757
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 3: Year campaign. A second year in the NFL. Look takes

758
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 3: the handoff and he's being chased by one. JJ hasn't

759
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 3: don a midfield what with the sack, the crowd erupts,

760
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 3: and him figuring things out resulted in that the plays

761
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 3: were magnificent. You know, we talk about the touchdowns and

762
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 3: the sacks and everything. The plays were magnificent, day in

763
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 3: day out, the work ethic, the ruboff effect it had

764
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 3: on others. My favorite Watt story is always going to

765
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 3: be the Barry Kids. It's always going to be the

766
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 3: Barry Kids. And whenever I'm on a show out of

767
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 3: town talk show, people say, you know what about JJ Watt?

768
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 4: Why can you tell us?

769
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: They're looking for something different right, And a lot of

770
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 3: them haven't heard the story of the Barry Kids whose

771
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 3: parents tragically died in a car accident, and obviously the

772
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 3: accident paid its toll on the kids, and Wat went

773
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: to visit them in the hospital during the Lockout off season,

774
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 3: no prompting from anybody, The organization couldn't even contact him.

775
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 3: Took it upon himself to buy Geared Academy Sports and Outdoors,

776
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 3: brought it to the kids and they became lifelong friends.

777
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 3: And there was no publicity attached to that. Now since

778
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 3: it's got a lot of publicity. Once everybody got a

779
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 3: hold of it, but maybe not nationally much as it

780
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 3: should have. Obviously, Harvey is the big national story, but

781
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 3: the Barry Kids is my favorite story because it shows

782
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 3: you who he is. He did it because he thought

783
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 3: it was right. He didn't do it for the publicity,

784
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 3: just did it. And he's done countless things like that,

785
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: things you'll never know about, you'll only hear about it.

786
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 3: Maybe if you talk to the people involved in how

787
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 3: are you ever going to find them?

788
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 4: Right? Can you imagine?

789
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 3: Because how many people ask you, Johnny, Because people ask

790
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,479
Speaker 3: me all the time, Hey, could you find a way

791
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: to get this whatever it.

792
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 4: Is to JJ Watt to sign?

793
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking how many people who have remotely associated

794
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 3: themselves with him over the years get that request? So

795
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 3: you can imagine how many are actually getting to him,

796
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 3: you know.

797
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 4: And we have a whole.

798
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 3: Department for stuff like that with current players, and they've

799
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 3: had a lot of work to do to filter things out.

800
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 3: But I love that about him. Here's the other thing.

801
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 3: When you have a local athlete, a local he's a

802
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 3: pro athlete, professional football player in our city, whether it's

803
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 3: a Rockets player, Astros player, Texans player, whatever. But when

804
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 3: you have a player like that, but they're also a

805
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 3: huge national star and the process of them becoming a

806
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:17,479
Speaker 3: national star.

807
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 4: It kind of feels strange.

808
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 3: It's our guy, right, and now everybody loves him and

809
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 3: everybody's laying claim to him in a certain way, and

810
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 3: it feels strange.

811
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 4: And I went through it with a team.

812
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 3: I went through it with the Miami Hurricanes because they

813
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 3: were my guys and we were these monstrous national stars

814
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 3: in one and it just felt strange to have that

815
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 3: on top of it. I had it with Marcus Cambi

816
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 3: in college as well. It was kind of the college

817
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: basketball equivalent of the Heisman Trophy winner in nineteen ninety six.

818
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 3: It feels weird when everybody is embracing him when it's hey,

819
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 3: he belongs to us first, But it means he's really

820
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 3: good yea, And it probably means your team is doing

821
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 3: really well. And to me, you know, he's such a

822
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 3: great crossover star. You see all the other entertainment, Yeah,

823
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 3: things that he's done, right, when you see Sener Girl

824
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 3: and SNL and Bad Moms, which was great the league, Yeah,

825
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 3: all that stuff, Yeah, really great stuff. And he's a

826
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 3: good performer in that material and it's fun to watch.

827
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 5: It's been fun to watch and obviously we you know,

828
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 5: put a focus on what he did on the field,

829
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 5: because that's what we do.

830
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 6: We call the game, we analyze the game.

831
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 5: We see the things that he's been able to do,

832
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 5: and you know, you kind of mentioned all the things,

833
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 5: you know, I know what he.

834
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 6: Did for for my son.

835
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 5: I had said I would never tell that story until

836
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 5: he retired or was done, and so I put that

837
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 5: story an article and you can see that's just kind

838
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 5: of one of the stories of many you talk about,

839
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 5: you know, the Barry kids. You know what he has

840
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 5: meant to so many people in this town for so long.

841
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 5: And I'm sure there are there are media members, there

842
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 5: are you know, high school football coaches, there are business

843
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 5: people that have had a dealing with J. J. Watt

844
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 5: and they walk out of there going, oh my god,

845
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 5: like he's for real. I got a text today from

846
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 5: somebody asking a good friend of mine saying it just

847
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 5: no bs here, like behind the scenes as he as

848
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 5: good as guy as he seems, and I'm like the best,

849
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 5: I mean the best. And we probably run into those

850
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 5: those players over the years that you know, how's that

851
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 5: guy behind the scenes?

852
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 4: You know, Okay, well, all right, you know.

853
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 6: Trying to give too much away, but no, he was

854
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 6: the He was the real deal.

855
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 4: He handles it so well. He every so many people

856
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 4: are pulling.

857
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 5: I don't think yeah, I don't think people understand how

858
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 5: many people just want a hey, a selfie, you know,

859
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 5: like everybody wanted a piece of him.

860
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 4: He can't go to the storage.

861
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 5: Remember remember Hard Knocks twenty fourteen, not the twenty fifteen

862
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 5: Hard Knocks, which I thought he was hilarious in twenty fifteen,

863
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 5: but remember in twenty fourteen. This was before he has

864
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 5: the twenty fourteenth season, and they show him coming over

865
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 5: the bridge over Kirby to get to practice, and it's

866
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 5: this really dramatic scene.

867
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 4: Bruce Matthews is no ordinary dad.

868
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 6: He's a Hall of Fame tackle. But like all dads,

869
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 6: he worries today.

870
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: He has good reason.

871
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 5: And I remember seeing a Hard Knocks like, yeah, all right,

872
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 5: that's our guy, Like he's our guy. And that was

873
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 5: my first year on the sideline, and I just the

874
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 5: things I saw him do, and it really crystallized the

875
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 5: Thursday night against the Colts, when I'm not talking thirty

876
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 5: seconds before Andrew Luck snaps the ball, you just instinctively said,

877
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 5: come on, JJ, make a play or it's wa time

878
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 5: or something to that, because, like.

879
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 4: I said, it's what time, It's what time?

880
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 3: Lock shotgun one back, ratshaw, luck drops us.

881
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 4: There's a chase for football. I guess who's got it.

882
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 3: J J two has left thirty five thirty, twenty five, twenty.

883
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 4: Fifteen ten five touchdown.

884
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me. J J.

885
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 4: Wattscores this place. That's going crazy.

886
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 5: I've never seen anybody in a game of football that

887
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 5: could do something on command like that. He didn't know

888
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 5: you did it, but it was like what he was

889
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 5: that in that season in particular, he was every single game.

890
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 3: I think I said it several times during the Buffalo

891
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 3: playoff game, and it finally happened at the right time.

892
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 3: So I can't take credit for that one. It's like

893
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 3: it's WAT time. It's WAT time again, it's WAT time,

894
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 3: net now would be a good time, j J.

895
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 4: And then he makes the big play.

896
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 6: And he did. He would do that. He would do

897
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 6: that on command.

898
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 5: And I hate the fact that that rures All cheated

899
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 5: in sixteen to seventeen. In nineteen even you're not seeing

900
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 5: him at his at his greatest, because at his great

901
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 5: my god, it's almost indescribable what he could do on

902
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 5: a field. I still I still say, now, I don't

903
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 5: think a lot of people will bring this up. I

904
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 5: still say the one of the greatest individual performances I've

905
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 5: seen in the game was what he did against Cleveland

906
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 5: at twenty fourteen.

907
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 3: Mallet throws left side of the endzone. Watch JJ Watt.

908
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 3: He makes the catch. Bod is it in no signal yet,

909
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 3: long conversation.

910
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: Touchdown.

911
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 3: JJ Watt with a great catch left side of the

912
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 3: end zone.

913
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 5: He went out on a fade route, caught a touchdown.

914
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 5: He got two fifteen yard roughing the punter penalties. He

915
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 5: then had two and a half sacks.

916
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 3: Lawyer gets the snap, here comes what the ball is out?

917
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: Boyer picks it up and he's gonna be sacked. Jj

918
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 3: Watt knocked it out.

919
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 4: And got him. It's fourth down.

920
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 5: I think it was four TFLs and completely shut the

921
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 5: game down.

922
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 4: Boyer under center. Here's the toss up.

923
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 3: Ben tait Wat is there the backfield and breaks out

924
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 3: tape for a big loss on the play. Two TFLs

925
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 3: on the series here for j Watt.

926
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 7: And we absolutely had to have it on a game

927
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 7: that Yeah, absolutely, I mean Alfred Blue is running like

928
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 7: thirty eight times in that game, but he had about

929
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 7: a buck fifty in that Yeah, yeah, thirty eight for

930
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 7: a buck fifty.

931
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 6: It was like the typical out for Blue game.

932
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: But w what.

933
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 5: I'm like, what couldn't what could the man not do?

934
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 5: And I'll never forget the two fifteen yeard penalties were hilarious.

935
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 5: But it was like he went out and made up

936
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 5: for him every single play the rest of the game,

937
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 5: and it was like he didn't have to because he

938
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 5: had already done enough and that was a game we

939
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 5: had to win. And I remember the feeling of going

940
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,879
Speaker 5: back on that plane, just like my god. I looked

942
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,600

00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: twenty two to nineteen. Browns all over the Titans twenty

961
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,320

Speaker 1: In Lambeau.

969
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 2: The Chargers and Vikings tripped all over themselves at the

970
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: end of the game with clock management, and the Chargers

971

972
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,000
