Speaker 2: You're You're I would say you're like Kramer, but you're

9
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: way more important at Kramer. So Mark down, you're you're Jerry.

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm Kramer.

11

Speaker 2: So I just come busting in whenever, whenever I need

12
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: some help with something or want to take over. At

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: some point, I just, I mean, thinking so much about

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 2: this game. I mean everywhere you drive, you sit home, whatever,

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: and you just think about a we're back.

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: In the playoffs. Yeah, b it's this team.

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: It's the Browns, that it's team Texans, never facing the

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: playoffs before, but it's a team you faced three weeks

19
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: ago and they kicked the you know what out of you,

20
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: and I'd like to think that's worth something, But on

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: the flip side, it also scared.

22
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: Here's me, So Mark, my question to you.

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: Just overall your thoughts thirty thousand foot thoughts about a

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: playoff game at Energy Stadium for the first time in

25
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: one thousand, four hundred and seventy days.

26
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: Wow, is that what it is? Since I did the game, I.

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: Did the master Did you want? You want a couple

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: others nuggets?

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 4: I did?

30
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: Someone by the numbers article. Here are a couple other nuggets.

31
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: Go ahead.

32
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: CJ.

33
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: Stroud was two days away from enrolling at Ohio State

34
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: at the last time of the text, the last time

35
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: the Texas played in the playoff game.

36
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 5: CJ.

37
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: Stroud hadn't even gotten to Ohio State yet.

38
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: The word COVID was in nobody's vocabulary. Nobody even knew

39
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: what the word COVID meant. You think, Yeah, it wasn't

40
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: that long.

41
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: It wasn't that long after we found out, of course. No, No,

42
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: COVID was Johnny.

43
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 6: No, you stand corrected here, because we started reading about

44
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 6: it November December and nineteen.

45
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: I want to say, yes.

46
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: You you might have.

47
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had no idea.

48
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: I had no.

49
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: You were buried in draft prep already draft prep.

50
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 6: But it was anything that anyone was really worried about,

51
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 6: right right, Yeah.

52
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: Laramie Tunsell, the only position player to have played in

53
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: that playoff game to be playing in this one.

54
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: Because Titus out TuS.

55
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: Titus didn't play in that playoff game, and he won't

56
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: play in this playoff game.

57
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 7: What.

58
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh that's rough. Yeah, that's rough.

59
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: That's too bad because the reason I remember that that

60
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: was his rookie year.

61
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was Rod Johnson.

62
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: Rod Johnson was playing right tackle at the end of

63
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: that game against Bubble.

64
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 6: We could have sat here for a long time and

65
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 6: I would not have gotten that. I'm serious, and you

66
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 6: know me, I've been around for a while, but you're

67
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 6: you're picking those things out.

68
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: Rod Johnson, Rod Johnson, Roder Johnson was playing right tackle

69
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: in that game.

70
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: And I remember that distinctly because.

71
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 2: On that final play, he has two guys basically blitzing

72
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: and he has to pick one. I just never forget

73
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: he picked inside one, which you should, and there goes

74
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: Milano off the outside, and I'm just like, oh boy,

75
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, Rodbert Johnson played right tackle. He and he

76
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: and okay, do you remember who he rotated with? He

77
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: and Chris Clark.

78
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: Well, Chris Clark.

79
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 6: I would have gotten after a while, ye, but it

80
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 6: might have taken a little bit because we've had a

81
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 6: lot of situations where tackles have to be rotated in

82
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 6: and out, or you have to play somebody because somebody

83
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 6: else has hurt this year, no exception. The fact that

84
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 6: you started Austin Deculus in one of your most convincing

85
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 6: victories of the season is amazing to me. And he's

86
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 6: no longer with the team. This season is filled with

87
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 6: little nuggets like that. You could have pages of stuff

88
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 6: without even mentioning the major headlines. The subheadlines are fascinating

89
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 6: to this season. Now, as far as this game, you

90
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 6: wanted my perspective on this game, it's very different from

91
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 6: twenty nineteen postseason.

92
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: Obviously it wasn't that.

93
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 6: Long ago, yet it seems like that long ago, a

94
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 6: long top ago, because of the names that change and

95
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 6: everything the Texans have been through. Go through a four

96
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 6: win season, a four win season, a three win season,

97
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 6: you're at the basement of it. The Texans since they

98
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 6: started winning the division in twenty eleven, they have seven

99
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 6: of them now, seven division championships out of thirteen years.

100
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 6: They've won it more than anybody else. We've talked about this.

101
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 6: Yet when the Texans do have a losing season, they

102
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 6: go all in. Yeah, right, they go all in the

103
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 6: twenty thirteen Hold my beer, I'll show you a losing season.

104
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 6: We're going two and fourteen, ladies and gentlemen, with a

105
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 6: talented team. We're gonna go to in fourteen and then

106
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 6: back to a winner with O'Brien nine and seven, nine

107
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 6: and seven, nine and seven, and then you know what,

108
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 6: here comes another losing season, and it's not gonna be

109
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 6: back in a sixteen game schedule. It's not gonna be

110
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 6: seven and nine or six and ten. We're going four

111
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 6: and twelve. We're going all in again, and then back

112
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 6: to a winner, back to a winner. And then twenty twenty,

113
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 6: you know what, time for another losing season, and we're

114
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 6: gonna have three in a.

115
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: Row and we're going all in on all three.

116
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 6: But here we are, ye back to the postseason, and

117
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 6: it feels in many ways better than ever because you

118
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 6: have such an outstanding young quarterback and young talent, and

119
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 6: you have the hottest head coach in the business. You

120
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 6: could say what you want, if Stefanski wins Coach of

121
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 6: the Year, I'll take our guy, former player. And it's

122
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 6: not just because of that, but look at him. He's

123
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 6: so positive. And I did tell him this off the

124
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 6: air Johnny, I said, you're gonna wear the red long

125
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 6: sleeve shirt, right, Yeah, yeah, I said, that thing is

126
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 6: becoming the Landry hat of the modern Texans era. Not

127
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 6: that Landry was a Texan, I should say bum Phillips hat,

128
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 6: but I went there from a national perspective. But that's

129
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 6: Demiko's brand right now, the red dry fit long sleeves.

130
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 6: Because first of all, he looks like he could still play.

131
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 6: He fills it out right, looks like he spends all

132
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 6: morning in the gym, and he doesn't on a show

133
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 6: with us.

134
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: He said, what did he say?

135
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 5: Like?

136
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 6: Maybe two three times a week. Three times a week

137
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 6: he's in there doing the weights or whatever. That's enough

138
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 6: apparently for him.

139
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 5: Yeah.

140
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's gonna work for me, but

141
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: that's enough for him.

142
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 6: But anyway, to have Demko, to have CJ, to have

143
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 6: all the guys here, the way they fit together, the chemistry,

144
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 6: the way the city is falling in love with them,

145
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 6: this is so special. I compare it to twenty eleven.

146
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 6: I go right back there. Can you believe this franchise

147
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 6: made the playoffs one stretch four out of five years?

148
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 6: Four to five years the Texans were in the postseason,

149
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 6: and it's great. I never take that for granted, never will,

150
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 6: always grateful to be there. But this feels as good

151
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 6: as it felt in twenty eleven, or I haven't felt

152
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 6: this way since then.

153
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 3: That's how I want to word that. That's just the

154
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 3: feeling of it.

155
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 6: And I know my feelings have nothing to do with

156
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 6: how the team plays, but that's how I feel about this,

157
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 6: how special it is to be taken on the Brown

158
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 6: Saturday at three thirty p early.

159
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: I I'm glad that you didn't put the bum Phillips

160
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: cowboy hat on Demiko. Well, yeah, I was gonna say

161
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 2: the last time a coach wore that, he got fired. Yeah,

162
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: And apparently that not the hat, but the loss. We

163
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: talked about that last night a little bit. The loss

164
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: to the Texans did not sit well. But it's like

165
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: a Jena game. It's like a Jena game. I mean,

166
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: with anything else it wasn't. It wasn't like one Jenga

167
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: poll that got him fired with the Titans.

168
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: It was a lot of them. The Texas game just

169
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: happened to be one of them.

170
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: You know. I've thought ever since we got on the.

171
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: Bus in Indianapolis to go to the airport, and I'm thinking,

172
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: just as I'm writing my articles, I'm just sitting there,

173
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, playoff game. Where's it gonna be. What's

174
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: it gonna be, how's it going to be? What's this

175
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: experience gonna be? Like I told you all season? Yeah,

176
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: I told you, well, not all season, but once it

177
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: looked like, man, there's maybe a shot.

178
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, once we went to and two.

179
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: You know, we got to two and three, Once we

180
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: beat Tampa Bay and then turned around and beat Cincinnati,

181
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: that's when I really started to go, wait a second,

182
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: oh yeah, at that point, like, well, we're five and

183
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: four here, we've got to win over since we got

184
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: to win over Pitts. Hmm, okay, maybe there's a shot here.

185
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: And I told you I wouldn't mind playing a wildcard

186
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: game on the road. I really wouldn't. But now it's here.

187
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: I'm glad as all get out that we're playing this

188
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: game here. I really am, well, especially when you see

189
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: what's going on against sitting in Buffalo.

190
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: Otherwise, shod I.

191
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: Was on the field. I was on the field.

192
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 6: We had two TV stations at least there might have

193
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 6: been more doing hits from here this morning, so I

194
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 6: was on the field Fox twenty six with Nate Griffin

195
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 6: doing a live hit at eight something this morning, and

196
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 6: just to walk out on the field and there's the

197
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 6: wild Card logo on the field at Energy Stadium. Chills. Okay,

198
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 6: here we are at home Wildcard round. After everything this

199
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 6: organization has been through. This is a celebration. And you

200
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 6: want to know what Cleveland. I know they handled the

201
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 6: Texans last time. Does that really have much to do

202
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 6: with this? I think if anything, it helps the Texans.

203
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 6: This sharpens the sense is even more right. You have

204
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 6: other guys coming back that did not play in addition

205
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 6: to CJ. Stroud, and they are significant additions to what

206
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 6: you can do to Cleveland. Everybody is going to be

207
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 6: juiced up. Everybody's gonna be jacked.

208
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: And I'll see how they respond, you know, CJ. Stroud.

209
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 6: This is interesting also, this is where reputations are made,

210
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 6: and Flacco's got a pretty good playoff reputation.

211
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 3: He does, he won a Super Bowl. Can I interest

212
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: you in a stat You can always interest me in

213
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: a stat. I mean, there are a bunch of them

214
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: that pertains to Flaco.

215
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: Number one, most wild Card wins for a starting quarterback

216
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 2: all time.

217
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's tied for the most with five.

218
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 6: And think about this, early on, they weren't winning divisions.

219
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh had Ben Roethlisberger. They were in their super Bowl window, right,

220
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 6: and didn't they win one and play in another? I mean,

221
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh was hot stuff. You had the Patriots in the

222
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 6: AFC East obviously, and they were able to win a

223
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 6: lot of wild card games. I think the first five

224
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 6: years minimum of one win per year for.

225
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco had eventually a super Bowl in twelve. Flacco

226
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: is five and oh in his career in wildcard games.

227
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: There it is five and oh.

228
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 2: He's tied with Brett Favr with the most wildcard wins

229
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: the starting quarterback all time. Here's another one, and this

230
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: is this sort of mind blowing you think about it.

231
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: But on the flip side of it is these two

232
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: kind of go hand in hand because if you're winning

233
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: wildcard games, you're gonna go on the road for the

234
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 2: division round most times. Flacco is seven and five on

235
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: the road in the playoffs in his career. That's tied

236
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 2: for the most road quarterback playoff wins of all time.

237
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: He is tied with Tom Brady. Tom Brady with seven.

238
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: They both have seven. The next is five with Rogers

239
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: and Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning all have five.

240
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: Most road playoff wins, so he's five and oh wildcard games.

241
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: He's got the most road playoff wins for a starting

242
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: quarterback all time. He's gonna turn thirty nine next week,

243
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: next week, next week, thirty nine next week.

244
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: These stats are nice for him.

245
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: I got a birthday gift for him.

246
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: A loss, Yeah, big al and fifty two. Hopefully those

247
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: two are both gonna play. My fingers are crossed that

248
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: they're both gonna play.

249
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: Bernard wasn't talking yesterday if he wasn't gonna play. I

250
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 3: know he's.

251
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 6: Gonna have that thing tape, duct tape, whatever, whatever it takes,

252
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 6: whatever it takes, he's gonna give it the ultimate go

253
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 6: and we'll see if it's enough to make a big

254
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 6: difference in this game. But for him and Will to

255
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 6: be playing, what were we out there with in the last.

256
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 2: Doubting Derek Bark, Barnett, My Jay Sanders, Jerry and Jerry

257
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: they no Blake, no Blake, CJ.

258
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: You lost Jimmy Ward. You lost Jimmy. You lost Jimmy Ward.

259
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 6: Relatively early early, yeah, because I remember saying it. You're

260
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 6: out there with two defensive ends and two safeties that

261
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 6: weren't with the team when the season starts, and it's

262
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 6: tough to operate that way against a hot team. If

263
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 6: you're up operating like that against a team that's a

264
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 6: losing squad, maybe you got a much better chance.

265
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: Obviously.

266
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: Now since then, my Jay Sanders has made some plays.

267
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: Derek Barnett has been absolutely really good. But it's a rotation.

268
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: That's how it gets done, I understand, and you keep

269
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: those guys fresh. Now you won't have Jerry, which sucks.

270
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: The fact that there's a playoff game.

271
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 6: He sucks in more ways than one, because I mean,

272
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 6: blessing Jerry. You're a hometown guy and you don't get

273
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 6: to play a playoff game in your hometown this year.

274
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 3: Terrible, just terrible.

275
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: But to the safety issue, if you don't call it that,

276
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: dhd's plays butt off.

277
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 3: Kareem has given him good snaps.

278
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: They've gotten much better play out of the safeties after

279
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: this Jimmy Ward injury. And I say this Jimmy Ward

280
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: injury because he was hurt earlier in the year and

281
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: I thought Eric Murray and and j. Stewart's a decent job.

282
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: Before Jimmy came back against Jacksonville. The Jimmy was back

283
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 2: for a while and then got hurd again. He missed a

284
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: few games. It was in that stretch after the second injury.

285
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 2: I was like, oh boy, we gotta have Jimmy Ward.

286
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: We get him back for Denver. Okay, he's playing well,

287
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: and then he goes out in that game against Cleveland,

288
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: I thought, oh man, how they canna do this? DHC

289
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: has played much better. The play he makes on I

290
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 2: can't remember who was running the route. He made a

291
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: great play. I think maybe out Peers, maybe Pittman that

292
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 2: he made the other night against the Colts. Huge play.

293
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: And the safeties are so key considering what happened in

294
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: the first matchup.

295
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 6: That's on my wish list. By the way, Kareem to

296
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 6: make a big play in this one.

297
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: So I have a mission for a Kareem. But I'm

298
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: not gonna. I'm not gonna, I'm not I'm not gonna.

299
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: Say it publicly, but the enforcer.

300
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: You you have.

301
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: To I think when you face and I don't want

302
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: this to come off sounding wrong because the Browns, the

303
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: Browns don't have bad guys.

304
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 3: That's not that's not what I'm saying here.

305
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: But they are the bully, the way they play, how

306
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: physical they are, how good they are up front defensively

307
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: in particular, and they've been that way offensively, but they've

308
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: lost their two tackles, so they've lost a little bit

309
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 2: of that. You gotta go bust the bully right in

310
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: the mouth. I mean, you have to go punch the

311
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: bully right in the mouth and hit him with all

312
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: you've got.

313
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 3: And if that happens to be kareem to send a message,

314
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 3: so be it. You know, it's amazing.

315
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 5: C J.

316
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 6: Stroud's playoff narrative starts Saturday. That's incredible to me. He

317
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 6: just started playing. Yeah, we just saw him warming up

318
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 6: in training camp a few months ago, and now we're

319
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 6: going to start the playoff narrative on CJ Stroud.

320
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: The clock starts, Well.

321
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: Here's the one.

322
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: Here's another one with Flacco if you kind of want

323
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: to go with that perspective. Flaco's last playoffs start came.

324
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: Do you know when that's gonna be hard? Twenty fourteen.

325
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was the year that case Keenan beat him.

326
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: Twenty fourteen. They flamed out in the playoffs.

327
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

328
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: In the regular season, yeah, case beat them, but they

329
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: get to the division round right against New England. Yeah,

330
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: and they got toe to toe with New England. Thirty

331
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: five thirty one. Who did Flaco throw touchdown passes to

332
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: a couple of former Texans?

333
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: Do you remember?

334
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: Not Jacobe he's not still now at that point.

335
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: Thought to be the greatest tight end in Texas history.

336
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 6: Owen Daniel Owhen Daniels was on the Ravens that ye,

337
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 6: Ravens that year, that's right, because he went to the

338
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 6: Ravens and then he went to the Broncos to be

339
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 6: with Kubiak exactly. She's o d in the post. There's

340
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 6: another that he does a good job with the Broncos

341
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 6: the next year.

342
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: I know.

343
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: Then there's another form of Texan who had a touchdown

344
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: in that game? Tell me Thanksgiving twenty twelve. That's all

345
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: I have to tell you for a set. Yeah, justin

346
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: for said because he joined the Ravens and did well

347
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: with them. Yeah, so yeah, because Kubiak wanted for said

348
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: he ran the ball well foresaid at an amazing time

349
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: with the Ravens.

350
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 8: Yeah.

351
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: Uh, that was in the twenty fourteen Divisional round. I

352
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: think CJ was in middle school. Yeah, I think CJ

353
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: was in middle school the last time, and Blackhood played.

354
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: So all of those playoffs wins and everything happened before

355
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen. So if you want to look at the

356
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: glass at full okay, it's been nine years since he's

357
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: been in a playoff game. It's just that he's been

358
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: playing so well. My hope, Mark is that last week

359
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: he was taken off. I would have I would have

360
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: given him to him off as well, but you know,

361
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: shooters got to shoot.

362
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he.

363
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: Has been hot and he's been nailing everything and just

364
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: one game off, one quarter off.

365
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 6: One just won't like it. Andre won't like it at all.

366
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 6: For his timing for Flacco's calls. Absolutely, And CJ played

367
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 6: and had to play and played well, and you got

368
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 6: the job done last week. And maybe that hot team

369
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 6: momentum carries over, so we'll see how that goes. Look,

370
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 6: there's so much excitement, so much anticipation, there's nothing like it.

371
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: There's also this last one. I love this last one

372
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: one two three four. This is the first game without

373
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: Tom Brady. With the age gap between quarterbacks is sixteen.

374
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: Years and one hundred and ninety nine days between Seed

375
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: and Joe Flatty, I got another one.

376
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 6: Remember when Flacco started making some waves eighth nine ten.

377
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 6: He sees so much because he was so much younger

378
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 6: than Tom Brady. Tom Brady just finished playing last year.

379
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 6: But here's Flacco about to turn thirty nine next week.

380
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 6: This is bizarro world, and twenty two year old C. J.

381
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 6: Stradd is gonna go out there and try to beat him.

382
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 6: But I Johnny, as much as we talk about Strad

383
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 6: being young and all these facts and figures about it,

384
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 6: he's not young. He's an old soul, and he ain't

385
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 6: no rookie anymore. He's the guy, and he's ready for

386
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 6: this moment.

387
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: And we saw that Saturday, and hopefully Saturday was kind

388
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 2: of a dry run in some sense for what they

389
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: were going to see in the playoffs. Now, obviously the

390
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 2: Colts defense not the same as the Browns defense, but

391
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 2: to advantage the Colts because secondary was.

392
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: A little bit.

393
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: Banged up and experienced making mistakes not lined up, maybe

394
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: that same thing happens. They Grant Delpit was brought back

395
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: to the fifty three man roster, but he is ruled out.

396
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: He is not ready to go, and he's a Ustonian,

397
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: so he's not gonna play. Other Houstonian will Obo Coronquo.

398
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: He will play in this game. We missed him in

399
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: week sixteen, but at the safety spot, the Anthony Bells

400
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 2: played pretty well.

401
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: We'll see if one Thornhill is gonna play.

402
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 2: I've read this week that he's not going to He's

403
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: listened to this questionable and did practice in.

404
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 3: The limits pass So no thorn Hill, No Delpit is big.

405
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: That exactly. So that's what we faced last time. But

406
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: we couldn't take advantage of it. Yeah, we can we

407
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 2: take advantage if they've got a rookie Ronnie hick Man

408
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 2: who played at Ohiose State with CJ and the Anthony

409
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 2: bell back there at safety. Can we take advantage of

410
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: them like we did the Colt safety.

411
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 6: Well, it's more about pass protection, isn't it right. I

412
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 6: think you can take advantage of it, but you got

413
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 6: to keep CJ upright in the pocket long enough to

414
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 6: be able to make those throws downfield and be explosive.

415
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, all right.

416
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: When we get back, we're going around the NFL.

417
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: Plenty of things happening with playoff teams and could a

418
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: playoff game be moving out of its home city. We'll

419
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: discuss that next a Texans All Access.

420
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,840

Speaker 2: A little bit later in the show, we got Dalton

00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 2: Schultz and we got Dalton Schultz doing a drews dozen.

431
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: We're going behind himy sidelines. Mark's gonna join me in

432
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 2: the next segment for a little bit of keys to

433
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: the game. We got my predictions for the playoff games

434
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: this weekend, and we got some cutlets with Drew Doherty.

435
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: That means Nico Collins Andrew Beck.

436
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 5: Uh.

437
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: That's gonna be fun as well. So we got plenty

438
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 2: to do on the show. So let's get it kicked

439
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: off like we always do with the head coach of

440
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: your Houston Texans Demico Ryans. He cut up with Mark

441
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: this afternoon in studio.

442
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 6: Coach, a lot of you guys are saying stuff like, hey,

443
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 6: you have to approach this as a normal game, yet

444
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 6: there's another level to get to as well.

445
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 3: How do you want them to approach it? Mentally?

446
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 9: I want our guys loose, but I want them locked

447
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 9: in right mentally focused on the task at hand, Like

448
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 9: what is my job in each moment, one snap at

449
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 9: a time? Are you locked in on the details of

450
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 9: your job? And let's go execute?

451
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: All right?

452
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 6: And against the Cleveland Browns, you have to execute against

453
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 6: Joe Flacco? What makes him so tough to get to,

454
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 6: coach Man?

455
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 4: He gets rid of the ball very quickly.

456
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 9: So fortunately we got some of our d li'men back

457
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 9: hoping we can, you know, disrupt this process a little

458
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 9: bit better this time around.

459
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: But he has a quick release.

460
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 9: Whether it's a quick game or is the D ball,

461
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 9: and we just have to make sure we're collapse in

462
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 9: the pocket.

463
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: What have you seen in their running game as the

464
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: season has evolved, And I know you faced them a

465
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: few weeks ago, but they still want to lean on

466
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: that as well.

467
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, they do it's where they thrive in the run

468
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 9: game is a lot of pin and pool plays. So

469
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 9: they're trying to right surround you. Right, they're trying to

470
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 9: pin our defensive ends and get outside on the perimeter.

471
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 9: So we have to do a really great job of

472
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 9: setting the edge from our defensive ends or it could

473
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 9: be our corners right playing a big road. Is we

474
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 9: coming upsetting the edge and then it's just chasing from

475
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 9: inside out. We have elite pursuit and we're swarming, we're tackling. Well,

476
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 9: that'll help us in a run game.

477
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 6: We're some of the things we should be looking for

478
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 6: with their secondaries to try to make plays downfield against them.

479
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, with their secondary they're gonna be tight, they're gonna

480
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 9: be sticky in coverage. They're gonna be on our guys.

481
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 9: So we have to do a great job of executing

482
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 9: our routes. We have to be very precise, right, and

483
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 9: we have to just be I say, you have to

484
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 9: be aggressive at the catch point, right, they're gonna be

485
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 9: on us. Like how aggressive are we coming back to

486
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 9: the ball? How aggressive are we with our hands and

487
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 9: making plays?

488
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 6: In a passing game, it's attack the ball, offense and

489
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 6: defense right.

490
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 4: It goes both ways.

491
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 9: We want to attack the ball on offense and attack

492
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 9: the ball on defense. And the ball is going to

493
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 9: be the important factor in this game.

494
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 4: All right?

495
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 9: If we take the ball away, right, we take the

496
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 9: ball away, that'll be the key to us winning this game.

497
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 9: We've done a great job of protecting it all year.

498
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 9: They've given the ball away a ton, So we have

499
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 9: to find a way to take the ball away and

500
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 9: capitalize on their mistakes.

501
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: What about running against them? We always talk about their

502
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: pass rush and Miles Garrett and people like that. What

503
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 3: about trying to get yards to the ground.

504
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, we have to take advantage of those guys, right,

505
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 9: really getting off playing up field. We have to be

506
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 9: able to take advantage of that of hitting some inside

507
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 9: gap runs. And also can we get some pin and

508
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 9: pool plays?

509
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: Right?

510
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 4: Can we attack the perimeter because there's.

511
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 9: Such an aggressive front, they're upfield, upfield, upfield? Can we

512
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 9: circle them? Can we get outside? And can we see motor?

513
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 9: Can we see DP make some plays on the edge?

514
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 5: All right?

515
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: Finally, you knew I was gonna ask you special teams

516
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 3: how big a factor in this one?

517
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 4: Again?

518
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 9: Special teams? Again, it's the punt return game. All right

519
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 9: for them. Their punter has a huge leg, so he's

520
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 9: gonna OutKick the coverage. So we're gonna have a lot

521
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 9: of space in our return game. So it's how long

522
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 9: can we sustain blocks?

523
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 5: Right?

524
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 9: If we can sustain blocks longer right and finish, we'll

525
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 9: have a opportunity to gain some really big explosives and

526
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 9: apartment our game.

527
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 3: Excellent coach, thanks a lot, Good luck Mark.

528
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we gotta get coach talk with Diephram so he's

529
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: not working on that throat.

530
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough, it's gonna be loud.

531
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: Hopefully sold out crowd on Saturday against the Browns.

532
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: And great stuff there from Tamiko Ryance.

533
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: Now, one name I forgot is I was giving you

534
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: who all is on the show?

535
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: How about D line coach Jacques is there?

536
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 2: Mark and I had a chance to catch up with

537
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: him and talk about a D line that has been

538
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 2: way above what everybody expected considering the last couple of years.

539
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: And where this D line is now, it's been incredible.

540
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 2: In Jaquesa's there has played a big part in that

541
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: he sat down with Mark and I let's go.

542
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: JAXA's there joining us in a huntday Texans Radio Studio. Now,

543
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 3: how's it going, coach?

544
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 10: Thanks for having me.

545
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 6: Well, thanks a lot for being here, and let's talk

546
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 6: about that D line. You've had a lot of guys

547
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 6: you've had to work with, and it seems like everybody's

548
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 6: made a play here or there or everywhere. How's it

549
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 6: been for you working with a lot of new guys

550
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 6: and a lot of established guys on this team.

551
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, first of all, it starts with a great

552
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 10: assistant and Rod, right. You know, me and Rod get

553
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 10: together and we formulate the plan for the guys, and

554
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 10: then obviously the guys have to come in, and they

555
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 10: got to buy in right away. You know, there's a

556
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 10: unique front where we do certain things that not a

557
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 10: lot of people do. So they got to buy in

558
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 10: right away what we're asking to do. They got to

559
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 10: kind of erase what they've learned in the past and

560
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 10: try and do exactly what we're asking them to do,

561
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 10: because if they're not on it, then the defense doesn't work.

562
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 2: Along those lines, Coach, you've had some guys step in that.

563
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: I think it was at first first week, second week

564
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 2: of training camp. Guys were banged up and all of

565
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: a sudden, clil Davis is signed. We get this notice

566
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: Clid Davis coming in and I remember the name for Nebraska,

567
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 2: but didn't know much. He's coming from the USFL. Like, okay,

568
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: you can't buy he's gonna come in here. And all

569
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: of a sudden I went down and watch one on ones.

570
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: I thought, whoa, Yeah, Wow, he's got a little something.

571
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 2: And each and every week it feels like he gives

572
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 2: you a play, Like you see a play from him

573
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 2: and you're like yo.

574
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: And last week it was at TfL. What's he meant

575
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: to your d Yeah, I.

576
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 10: Mean it's everything, because you know, he's done a great

577
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 10: job first of all, like I said, buying in and

578
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 10: you know, he has the traits that we're looking for

579
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 10: in a defensive lineman. And you know, the guy just

580
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 10: comes in and works, doesn't say much, but he works.

581
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 10: He works his butt off. He tries to pick the

582
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 10: brains of the of the statesmen in the room, like

583
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 10: the elite Collins or Sheldon Rankins. And he's just done

584
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 10: an outstanding job of just coming in and just busting

585
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 10: his butt and hustling and working and trying to do

586
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 10: everything we ask him to do. So it's been a

587
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 10: blessing having Khalil.

588
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

589
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 6: Year, all right, you mentioned Rankins and Malik Collins, those

590
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 6: two guys in the middle. What do they do for

591
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 6: You can just talk about their impact for the listeners

592
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 6: and how important it is.

593
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I truly believe that if you have,

594
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 10: you know, two d tackles that are on their game

595
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 10: and they're penetrating and knocking people back, and they're able

596
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 10: to consistently push the pocket for the rush, then then

597
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 10: it's hard to run against that, and it's hard to

598
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 10: pass against that. And we have two guys that are

599
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 10: not only veterans, are smart, savvy, but they're just they're

600
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 10: hard work and they're humble.

601
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 4: And and there.

602
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 10: Are another It's another example of guys doing exactly what

603
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 10: we asked them to do, and when they're on it,

604
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 10: it's hard to run against us.

605
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: Speaking of the beginning of the year, give a couple

606
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 2: of hundred yard games early on, and then all of

607
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: a sudden, there was like a moment where it was like, man,

608
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: teams are really having a hard time running against this,

609
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: really really hard time.

610
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 5: Now.

611
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: I know the other night didn't go the way you

612
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 2: wanted to, but there was kind of like a switch

613
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 2: that got flipped. It felt like in the fourth quarter

614
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: or late third early fourth quarter where they didn't run

615
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: on you at that point after that point. But what

616
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: was it, Jack, that really flipped for this run defense?

617
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 2: What kind of made made the run defense be as

618
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: formal as it was over the last like two thirds

619
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: of the season in particular.

620
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 10: Again, you know, just guys just being you know, just

621
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 10: being physical, using their hands and just just playing within

622
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 10: the scheme of the defense. And uh, you know, when

623
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 10: you got guys that buy in, you know, it's just

624
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 10: like I said, it's just hard to run against our

625
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 10: defense when you got guys completely bought in and doing

626
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 10: their job.

627
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: You know.

628
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 10: The other day, you know, we had to make some adjustments,

629
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 10: and we did that in the in the second half,

630
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 10: and and you can see right there that.

631
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 4: It's stopped bleeding a little bit.

632
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 5: You know.

633
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 10: Uh, credit to those guys you know in India, they

634
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 10: did a great job of coming in and and and

635
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 10: establishing the run and and and you know, obviously we

636
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 10: have to do a better We had to do a

637
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 10: better job of stopping the run because it always starts

638
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 10: with the front, and I think those guys did for

639
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 10: the most part. But again, you know, if you got

640
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 10: guys that are they buy in and they're physical, and

641
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 10: they're twitchy, and they use their hands, and then it's

642
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 10: hard to run.

643
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 6: Jacquesas there joining us coaches d line for your Texans

644
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 6: or a defensive end. A lot of talk about Will

645
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 6: Anderson for good reason, a lot of talk about Jonathan

646
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 6: Garnard for good reason. Those guys have been so valuable

647
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 6: to you. But it goes deeper than that. You pick

648
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 6: up Derek Barnett during the season, he makes place my

649
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 6: j Sanders, he makes place. What is it about that spot?

650
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 6: What's important about playing d en at a high level?

651
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 10: You know, when when it comes to the defensive ends,

652
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 10: you know, the first thing that they have to do

653
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 10: is they got to set the edge and they got

654
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 10: to set a validage. And that's what we asked them

655
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 10: to do every single day. And like I said, you know,

656
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 10: credit goes a lot to Rod, right. He came in

657
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 10: and he works with the defensive ends, and he did

658
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 10: a great job. You know, we, like I said, we

659
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 10: come together every morning every night and we formulate the plan.

660
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 10: And he did a great job of just conveying that

661
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 10: message that we have to set the edge as defensive ends.

662
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 10: Because if they do that, then everybody else can play

663
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 10: You can play ball, and everybody else can can do

664
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 10: their job. But it starts with those defensive vents set

665
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 10: in the edge.

666
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: Saturday, your thoughts when the final free kick hits the

667
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,760

Speaker 10: through last year, yep, it was It was a great

675
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,920

678
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 10: some of those guys that haven't made it to the playoffs.

679
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 10: You know, Mydre this is the second year in the league.

680
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 10: He's never been to the playoffs. So just seeing that

Speaker 4: It was just I just was really really happy for

685
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,160

Speaker 6: JAXA is there joining us D line coach for the

700
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 6: Houston Texans. All right, what happens in the playoffs as

701
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 6: far as adrenaline taking it up to another level? What

702
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 6: can you tell your guys about that who haven't been there?

703
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 6: What is going to occur in that way when they

704
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 6: take the field on Saturday afternoon, Well, you know.

705
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 10: You just you just manage it. You know, you tell

706
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 10: them like, hey, you know, this is the most important

707
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 10: game because it's the next game. And I know that's

708
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 10: football cliche, but it's true. And and and they have

709
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 10: to just be locked in and and there is no

710
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 10: you know, the mistakes are gonna happen, but there's no

711
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 10: room for mistakes. So we got to be locked in

712
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 10: and more than ever, we got to play perfect football,

713
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 10: even though I know that's that's impossible sometimes, but you

714
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 10: gotta you gotta demand of them to demand more of themselves,

715
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 10: and and you know, they got to stay locked in

716
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 10: and they got to be ready to go because you know,

717
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 10: the stakes are very high and we understand that. But

718
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 10: at the same time, we're just looking at it going

719
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 10: into this thing like, hey, there's another game. Play play

720
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 10: the way you have to play, don't. You don't have

721
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 10: to do anything special. You just gotta play your your

722
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 10: your brand football, our brand of football.

723
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: Coach? Does it? Does it change?

724
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 5: You know?

725
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: In the playoffs, sometimes you play a team you didn't

726
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: see all year long. This is going to be a

727
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: team you saw just three weeks ago. Hey, what have

728
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: you seen with the Browns? And in that game against

729
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 2: the Browns, obviously run game stopped them pretty well, but

730
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 2: Joe was able to get in the pocket and make

731
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: some throws.

732
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: What about the Browns And are there adjustments.

733
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: That, Okay, you maybe feel like you can make because

734
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: it was just three years three weeks ago you face

735
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: them as opposed to I don't know, maybe you know,

736
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: like Indy was sixteen weeks in between games.

737
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 3: I feel like you're facing a totally different team.

738
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: This feels like the team that you saw three weeks ago,

739
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: but now it's just a playoff setting.

740
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 10: Well, you'll see those adjustments. That's the first thing. And

741
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 10: you know the second thing is is that you know,

742
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 10: you got a lot of respect for those guys. Got

743
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 10: a veteran quarterback, veteran offensive line that worked really well together,

744
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 10: good running backs, and obviously you know the receiver the

745
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 10: day that he had against you know, against this. So

746
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 10: we're gonna come in, like I said, we alread, be

747
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 10: locked in, ready to go, and it's gonna be fine.

748
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: All right.

749
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 6: As a wait, all right, this goes back to your

750
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 6: past coach as a Charger Alum, sir, your thoughts on

751
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 6: them being in LA. Now, yeah, I know it's a

752
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 6: touchy subject, but you could share something with us because

753
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 6: you played your whole career in San Diego.

754
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 10: Yes, I did still have a house in San Diego.

755
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 10: And uh, you know, I'll say this much. Look, this

756
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 10: is the NFL. Okay, things happen, and well, you know, look,

757
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 10: I've seen players long, but you know, Philip Rivers never

758
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 10: thought I see him in another jersey. But there he

759
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 10: was with the Indianapolis close right, and and you know

760
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 10: you can do that with all types of players. And

761
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 10: at the end of the day, it was a bus decision.

762
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 10: I don't know any anybody that if they say, hey,

763
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 10: you know, if you move here, you're gonna make a

764
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 10: lot more money, that's not gonna at least entertain the offer.

765
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 10: So I don't blame the Panels. I've known the Spaniss

766
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 10: for a long time to really good people, and you know,

767
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 10: it was a business decision that he had to make

768
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 10: at the end of the day. And you know that's.

769
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: That favorite charger uniform.

770
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 4: Powder blues. Man, you got you got a lot of

771
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 4: powder blues.

772
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: So there's only one answer, right, It's always been a

773
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: powder blues.

774
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: Those are so nice. I mean I I just you

775
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 3: see him from a far and like, oh this is

776
00:32:59,000 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: so pretty.

777
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: It was so pretty.

778
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 2: But should have stayed San Diego, just my life. Yeah,

779
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: I said that, not coach, I said that is.

00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 3: The weather any good in San Diego? Coach a little bit.

781
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 4: It's seventy six and breezy every day.

Speaker 3: Perfect coach, Thanks a lot, good luck, appreciate you guys.

783
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: I've been to San Diego once when I was driving

784
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: out to LA, I decided to take the southern section

785
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 2: and go up through the mountains that way to through

786
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: San Diego instead of going through Palm Springs. I was

787
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: driving out to LA and it's the only time I've

788
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: been there in my God, it was eighty degrees and sunny,

789
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: maybe lesson I was like seventy five degrees and signing

790
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: like coach pointed out and.

791
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: I was like, holy smokes.

792
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: And I ended up by the water and I ain't

793
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 2: stay for long, just kind of got the windshield tour

794
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: like man, I could see why people want to stay here.

795
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: The Chargers should have stayed in San Diego, should have

796
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: stayed but in LA. And they got a job opening,

797
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 2: so we'll see how that gets filled over the next

798
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 2: few days. We got job openings being filled right now

799
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: with Patriots Field Airs, which are Mayo. Adam Peters is

800
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: the new GM with the Washington Commanders. Those they're all

801
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 2: interesting hires. Peters probably more so than anyone because and

802
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 2: Peters came from the San Francisco forty nine ers, and

803
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 2: the Commanders have a coaching opening as well.

804
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: Ah. I don't like any of that. I don't like

805
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: any of that.

806
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 2: I want Bobby Spoke to stay here for as long

807
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 2: as humanly possible, But I understand how this game works.

808
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: I'll say this, I can't remember the last time I

809
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 2: have seen Texans coaches wanted by other teams like they

810
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: are right now, and that's to me, been really, really impressive.

811
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 2: The fact that Bobby's getting these interviews tells you a

812
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: whole heck of a lot about the staff that Demiko

813
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 2: has put together and will continue to put together. Now,

814
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: one of the guys they went out and signed to

815
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 2: help the offense is Dalton Schultz. Drew dolready caught up

816
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 2: with Dalton right here.

817
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 8: Tight An Dalton Schultz joins us.

818
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 11: Now we got to talk about this matchup with the

819
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 11: Cleveland Browns and the Texans, But first let's rewind. What

820
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 11: was your welcome to the playoffs moment? Was there a

821
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 11: moment where you realize things are a little bit different

822
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 11: right now?

823
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 12: When we played the Steelers and like CJ came out

824
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 12: guns pot like, guns blazing, like he made some throws,

825
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 12: it was just like like we might be able to

826
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 12: put it together now. Like so, I think we've just

827
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 12: been building momentum, you know, week week by week, Like

828
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 12: some games haven't gone our way, some games like we've

829
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 12: been in it and been able to close them out.

830
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 5: We've been we've.

831
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 12: Been battle tested and battle hardened. And so I think,

832
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 12: you know, going into the playoffs, like you know, people

833
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 12: would say we got a lot of momentum, but like

834
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 12: from our point of view, like we've we've built a

835
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 12: lot of a of a good foundation for ourselves, Like

836
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 12: all that stuff has just been on you know, how

837
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 12: we train and the success that we've had up to

838
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 12: this point, and so I think going to the playoffs

839
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 12: is like we're excited.

840
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 5: Man, Yeah, how.

841
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 11: How important is that being able to win by a

842
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 11: lot what you guys have done, being able to win

843
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 11: some close ones, both on the offensive vent on the

844
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 11: defensive end, it's big.

845
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 12: Like, I mean, it seems like every week we joke

846
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 12: about all the time. It's like every week it's like

847
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 12: one score game, like we're in it, and it's like

848
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 12: it's exciting, but like we would love all the games

849
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 12: to just be like the Tennessee game where you know,

850
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 12: you're up two, three scores the whole game just coasting in. Yeah,

851
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 12: you know, that's nice, But also those games that are

852
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 12: close and those games that are tight and you need

853
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 12: to stop in the fourth quarter, you need to go

854
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 12: down and you need to get a game winning field

855
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 12: goal or a game winning touchdown. Those are the fun,

856
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 12: truly the fun one guys enjoy playing in those types

857
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 12: of games and playing for each other in those types

858
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 12: of games.

859
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 11: Hey, on an individual level, how ready are you because

860
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 11: last three playoff games you've been really good. You put

861
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 11: up numbers about six catches, seventy yards touchdown per game.

862
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 11: How excited are you to get into it and get

863
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 11: it in a different run.

864
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 8: You're in the AFC now, dude, I'm excited.

865
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 12: Like I said, we've been building a lot of momentum,

866
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 12: and you know, we have a strong foundation. And I

867
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 12: said this on an interview earlier, but we feel like

868
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 12: a lot of the faith that kind of we've had

869
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 12: in this team and in this locker room and in

870
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 12: each other has like turned into just true belief because

871
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 12: we've seen it, we've put it on film. We know

872
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 12: what we're coming with, we know what we got, we

873
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 12: know who we got, and we know that when we

874
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 12: play the way that we can play, I'll take us

875
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 12: against anybody. That's the biggest thing for me is being

876
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 12: able to help others, be that guy that guys can

877
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 12: count on in these games.

878
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 5: And I'm just excited to see it. All.

879
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 11: You talk about helping others, how much of that is

880
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 11: you saying things? How much of that is you just

881
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 11: answering questions. How much of it is just doing what

882
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 11: you do and being an example. Is it combo of

883
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 11: all those Yeah.

884
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 12: Perc, I'll be the first selly. I'm not the biggest

885
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 12: vocal raw raw hype. I'm not a hype guy. Yeah,

886
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 12: I've got a lot of wisdom and stuff that I've

887
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 12: learned over my short career to this point, and stuff

888
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 12: that I absolutely like feel comfortable sharing, you know, in

889
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 12: team breakdowns or talks with the guys. You know, I

890
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 12: want to be a you know, a wealth of knowledge

891
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 12: for a lot of the young guys that maybe haven't

892
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 12: been in the spot before or have questions about X,

893
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 12: Y and Z. Just having some experience in that aspect.

894
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 12: I love talking ball and I think the more the

895
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 12: more everybody can kind of get on the same page

896
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 12: with that stuff, easier, it's going to be.

897
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 8: It's really exciting.

898
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 11: You know, as a tight end, what does the blocker

899
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 11: slash offensive lineman and you think about this defensive front

900
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 11: that you're going to face.

901
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 12: They're good, man, they're good. I mean, they got two

902
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 12: of the best at dressers in the leagues. Zarry Smith

903
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 12: is a free obviously everybody knows Miles Garrett. But dude,

904
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 12: they make their defense go right up. That's the biggest

905
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 12: challenge is handling their edge guys. You know in the

906
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 12: run game man pass game. So you know, we know

907
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 12: that we got our work cut out for us.

908
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 5: Excited about the matchup.

909
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 12: I'm excited to see how we can back up against

910
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 12: those guys, and if we can handle those guys, I

911
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 12: think we got a really good shot.

912
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's the blocking end the things as a pass

913
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 11: catcher stands out to you about their secondary.

914
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 8: What's what's most impressive there.

915
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 5: They got a lot of good.

916
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 12: Cover guys, whether they're in the nickel out at corner.

917
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 12: They got good safeties that come down and hit, good

918
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 12: guys that come play the quarterback's eyes. They make it

919
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 12: challenging with a lot of their looks and how aggressive

920
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 12: they are and how sticky they are man covering. It's

921
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 12: gonna be a challenge for us. We know that they

922
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 12: play some man. They play a lot of his own too.

923
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 12: They do a good job of mixing it up. But again,

924
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 12: at the end of the day, it's like, you know,

925
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 12: you can win as much as you want. In coverage,

926
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 12: we got to be able to have time to be

927
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 12: able to throw. And again it goes back to those

928
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 12: edge guys. We've got to handle the guys that we

929
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 12: need to handle just to you know, give everybody a chance.

930
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 8: Hey, with CJ.

931
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 11: Stroud leading the way, how much of a lift has

932
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 11: that been for this offense?

933
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 5: Oh, it's huge.

934
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 12: Just having him out there on Sundays, We're never We're

935
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 12: never out. I don't care what the score is like,

936
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 12: We're never out of the game because we know the

937
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 12: confidence that he's been able to build in himself, but

938
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 12: the confidence that we have in him to perform no

939
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 12: matter what. If we're down three scores, if we're up

940
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 12: three scores, we know seven's coming to play. You know,

941
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 12: in a league like this where everything's like so past first,

942
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 12: past first, I mean a quarterback, it can't be really understated.

943
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 12: And how important they are for an offense. He's the

944
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 12: guy that makes it all go, not only offensively, but

945
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 12: like defensively too. Defense gives up a field goal gives

946
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 12: up a touchdown, defense comes off the field. They know

947
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 12: that CJ is going to go down like we're gonna

948
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 12: get point, and they're gonna get.

949
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 5: It right back and get us stop.

950
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 12: It goes both ways, and so I'm excited, man, this

951
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 12: is his first taste the playoff football, and I.

952
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 5: Know the moment won't be too big for him.

953
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 11: And you know, the energy stradium crowd is going to

954
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 11: be pretty wild and rock And how excited are you

955
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 11: playing for the home.

956
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 5: Very excited, very very very excited.

957
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 12: Hopefully it's gonna be a great atmosphere and we can

958
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 12: we can bring out that dub.

959
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 11: Dalton Schultz, go get the victory. It's always great talking

960
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 11: with you. We really do appreciate the time, appreciate it.

961
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: There is little Demico, Ryan's little Jacques there and Dalton

962
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 2: Schultz with us to kick off a Friday playoff game

963
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 2: eve on this playoff edition of Texans All Access, brought

964
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 2: to you by Mattress Firm. We get back Marsh to

965
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 2: join me. We're gonna talk. He's the game. Our thoughts

966
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: on just being in the playoffs again. It's been a

967
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 2: long time. In fact, it's been almost fifteen hundred days

968
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: since a home playoff game.

969
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, we'll discuss that next right here in Texans

970
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: All Access.

971
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: All right, we got a lot to do on this show,

972
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 2: a playoff edition of Texans All Access sponsored by Mattress Firm.

973
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 2: Glad you're with me, John Harris Football on a Southern

974
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 2: Reporter for your Houston Texans it mention. We're gonna go

975
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 2: around the NFL and there is plenty, plenty of things

976
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 2: going on, and of course a weather update. Now, if

977
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 2: you've been following the weather, you know that next late

978
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 2: this weekend, but pretty much starting Monday Tuesday, it's gonna

979
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: get kind of ugly and ugly not in a great way.

980
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 2: So that's, uh, that's gonna be one of our pieces

981
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 2: of news. We'll get to that in a little bit.

982
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: But from a coaching standpoint, the Patriots have made a

983
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: decision already. Now if you're going way a second, wait

984
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 2: a second, wait a second, how they hired a coach?

985
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: They just Belichick and the Patriots had an amicable divorce

986
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 2: just two days ago. Like really yeah, uh, Drod Mayo

987
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 2: my backers coach, Cody fensive coordinator, And if you're wondering, boy,

988
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 2: how did that get done? This actually got done while back,

989
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 2: actually a couple of years ago, I think Drop Mayo

990
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 2: had been interviewing for head coaching jobs, and then I

991
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 2: want to say, last year, I didn't remember seeing him,

992
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 2: and now it makes a lot of sense. Apparently in

993
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 2: his most recent contract, there was a succession plan put

994
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 2: in to the contract that he would eventually follow Bill

995
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 2: Belichick following the twenty twenty four season, but Robert Kraft Belichick,

996
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 2: they moved that up a year, considering how tough he

997
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: was at twenty twenty three. Felix right time for Mayo

998
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 2: to take over. And Mayo takes over thirty seven years old,

999
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: and he will take over as the new head coach

1000
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 2: of the New England Patriots, thirty seven years old, making

1001
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 2: one of the younger coaches in the.

1002
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: League, but highly highly respected.

1003
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 2: Now I know a lot of people have talked about

1004
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 2: Mike Vrabel becoming available. Well, according to the contract as

1005
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: it was signed a couple of years ago, Mayo was

1006
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: their guy, and they probably weren't assuming that Rabel was

1007
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: going to be available.

1008
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: Craft stuck with the contract.

1009
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 2: He's sticking with Rod Mayo, and now we'll see what

1010
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: happens with the rest of the staff. And everything going

1011
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 2: on with the new England Patriots. Who would imagine we'll

1012
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 2: draft the quarterback in the top three picks of this draft.

1013
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: The Washington Commanders have hired a new GM.

1014
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if they're gonna call him a GM.

1015
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 2: I think he's called a GM, might be director of

1016
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: Football Ops. I don't know how they're gonna call him.

1017
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 2: I mean, a lot of teams have different things. Nick

1018
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: Casario's executive vice president of football ops and general manager,

1019
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 2: So I don't know how it's gonna get classified. But

1020
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 2: essentially Adam Peters is gonna be doing what a GM

1021
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: does in Washington.

1022
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: Now why is that important? Well, a very very good

1023
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 1: at his job. There's no doubt.

1024
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: He was one of the first people hired by John

1025
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 2: Lynch when Lynch and Kyle Shanna took over back in

1026
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen.

1027
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: Going into the twenty seventeen season.

1028
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,959
Speaker 2: Peters was a guy they relied on a lot, well

1029
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 2: respected and because he was with the forty nine ers.

1030
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: That brings me to obviously this piece of news.

1031
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: My guess is they'll request Bobby Slowick for a coaching interview,

1032
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 2: and that's what words to me about to these jobs.

1033
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 2: The Titans and the Commanders in particular because of connections

1034
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 2: to the forty nine Ers. Now, I will reiterate something

1035
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: I think is very very very important. Just because two

1036
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 2: people work together at a particular location doesn't mean they've

1037
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 2: got the greatest relationship going forward. They may have never

1038
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 2: worked together, they may have never been on the same

1039
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 2: meeting together. They might want us personal one as was

1040
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: in coaching. Maybe they didn't convalesce at all.

1041
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: Don't know. Now, logic would tell you, yeah, they probably did.

1042
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 2: Worst case, they probably know the ideals of how the

1043
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: forty nine ers did things, and that helps in the

1044
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 2: communication part. So I got a feeling Bobby Slowk with

1045
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 2: ran Carthon and Tennessee and with Adam Peters, now with

1046
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders, and Bobby is going to be a

1047
00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 2: guy that is highly highly desired to be a head coach,

1048
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 2: especially because he's going to speak their language. But again,

1049
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 2: like I said, just keep in mind that relationships with

1050
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 2: people just because you work together don't always turn out

1051
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: the way you think they're going to.

1052
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: I could speak for personal experience in that one.

1053
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 2: Now, this one has to do with the playoff game

1054
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 2: up in Buffalo dot dot dot for the time being. Apparently,

1055
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 2: Western New York is bracing for one massive storm, massive storm,

1056
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: and as a result, the Governor of New York has

1057
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 2: declared a state of emergency for this weekend. Buffalo and

1058
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh play on Sunday. There is been talk the game

1059
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: could potentially move to Cleveland. Now I don't know how

1060
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 2: all that works. I know Buffalo has had to move

1061
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 2: games before. They had to move a game to Detroit,

1062
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 2: then turn right around. I think it was actually Cleveland.

1063
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: They played Cleveland into Try and then turn right around

1064
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 2: and played at a Thanksgiving game in Detroit. So the

1065
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 2: home team on Sunday flew back home, flew back to

1066
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 2: Detroit they were visiting team. Then that could happen. It

1067
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 2: won't happen here in Houston. The game will take place

1068
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 2: in Houston, So just keep an eye on that.

1069
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: Bill.

1070
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 2: Steelers game potentially moving to Cleveland due to this massive

1071
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: storm that's covering the entire country. In Cleveland, they're expecting

1072
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,760
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, in Kansas City, they're expecting minus thirty winchill,

1073
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 2: so at Energy Stadium will be seventy two degrees inside

1074
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 2: the roof shut. So I'll be good with that. Big

1075
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: congratulations to Derrek Stingley Junior. I think we said it

1076
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,760
Speaker 2: last night. To make sure I say it again. AFC

1077
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Month. That's the second time it's

1078
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 2: happened now. If you want a little frame of reference,

1079
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 2: The last time the Texans had two Players of the

1080
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 2: Month in the same year happened twenty eighteen. JJ Watt

1081
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 2: and Kymie Fairban won offense, won special teams in between.

1082
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 1: Eighteen and twenty three.

1083
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 2: Only one player one AFC Player of the Month. That

1084
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 2: would be the Browns Deshaun Watson. That's it, only one

1085
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 2: in between those five years.

1086
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: So CJ. Stroud won it for November.

1087
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 2: They're extingly won at four December and January kind of

1088
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 2: on the same thing. So congratulations this thing. I know

1089
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: we talked about it last night, but I want to

1090
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 2: make sure I hit again. Okay, that's one hour in

1102
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: finished this thing at eight o'clock. Kickoff is at three thirty.

1103
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 2: That's twelve. I think it's like eight.

1104
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: It's less than twenty four. Let's do it that way.

1105
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 2: Let's do the math that way about nineteen and a

1106
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 2: half hours before kickoff against the.

1107
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,440

1109
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,400

1110
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 2: All Access show. As you know, once the season is

1111
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 2: over on Monday, we do textas Monday and then we

1112
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 2: do the All Access to Coach the show.

1113
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: We do all that, but then we're dark until the

1114
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl.

1115
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 2: That's why we're continuing on this week because we're still

1116
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,720
Speaker 2: playing and we got plenty to do. Because we're playing,

1117
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 2: that means we've got an opponent. And with the opponent,

1118
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 2: we go behind anemy sidelines with Drew Doherty. This week,

1119
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 2: he caught up with Max Lobe, who is from the

1120
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns Believe Network.

1121
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: So let's go behind any sidelines right now with Drew.

1122
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 11: Drew take it away, having a fun time with Max Lobe.

1123
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 11: He is the host of the dog Check. It is

1124
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 11: a podcast all about the Cleveland Browns on the Believe

1125
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 11: podcast network. He does that with former Cleveland brown Eric

1126
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,720
Speaker 11: Metcalf as well former Longhorn Eric matcaff Metcalf.

1127
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 8: He was awesome back in the day.

1128
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 11: Max is awesome currently in Max. We did this just

1129
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 11: before Christmas, Browns came to town and basically smoked the Texans.

1130
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 11: But many many differences this Saturday, right.

1131
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 7: Very Yeah, it's an extremely different matchup, like we talked

1132
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 7: about very brieflyly, It's not two different teams like that

1133
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 7: wouldn't be doing justice to the players who've played last time.

1134
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 7: But you're getting multiple starters back on both sides. So

1135
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 7: it's as different as it can be, for sure, no doubt.

1136
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 7: You know, let's start with the Cleveland aspect of things,

1137
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 7: because we know about CJ. Stroud returning and so on

1138
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 7: and so forth, and we'll get to that in a moment,

1139
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 7: but we're shooting this. You and I on a Wednesday

1140
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 7: morning around ten am and the news came out today

1141
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 7: safety Grant Delpitt has been cleared to practice.

1142
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 8: Now.

1143
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 11: They haven't said he's gonna play, but most likely he's

1144
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 11: probably gonna be out there. He's a guy that a

1145
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 11: lot of people around here are familiar with. He's from

1146
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 11: this area. Heck, he played on a select team in

1147
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 11: junior high with Texan safety Jalen Petrie. What does Grant

1148
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 11: delpitz possible return mean for this defense, which is already

1149
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 11: a really salty unit.

1150
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 7: It means a lot. And I just think back to

1151
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 7: the beginning of the season when this secondary was playing

1152
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 7: their best. It's so vanilla to say, but those five

1153
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 7: starters because they technically they roll out and nickel personnel

1154
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 7: with true nushim.

1155
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 4: Out there a lot.

1156
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 7: But the five starters with three corners both stafe. He's like,

1157
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 7: all five of those guys haven't been on the field,

1158
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 7: I think since October. So it's really really cool to

1159
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 7: think back as to how good the secondary was to

1160
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 7: start the year, and now you're getting all of those

1161
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 7: guys at least somewhat healthy on the field together. It's huge,

1162
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 7: and I think Grant Delbt's been having an amazing year

1163
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 7: from when he was healthy and I think it's a

1164
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 7: big name that's coming back, but to be honest with you,

1165
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 7: if he's not one hundred percent, I really have liked

1166
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 7: the way the Browns backup safety Ronnie Hickman has been playing.

1167
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 7: Use the guy that Eric and I highlight in the

1168
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 7: preseason as somebody who could play meaningful snaps in a

1169
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 7: sub package type role. Now he's thrust into the real

1170
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 7: thing and he's been playing really, really well. So even

1171
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 7: if Delpit can't play full snaps, if he can't play

1172
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 7: at all, I trust the safety depth there. And having

1173
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 7: Juan Thornhill back, who they've had back for a couple

1174
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 7: of weeks, now that's huge too. It's a guy that's

1175
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 7: that's bolstered that back end a ton and now they're

1176
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 7: getting Obo Garncuo back, who I'm sure you all know

1177
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 7: very very well. He is a huge aspect, not in

1178
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 7: every down guy, but the third downs. He is out

1179
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 7: there every time, and it's a big impact to have

1180
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 7: him because he can win on one on one. You

1181
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 7: can't go double team Miles Garrett because you'll leave him

1182
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 7: and Zadarius Smith opens things up for everybody else. Like

1183
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,479
Speaker 7: that's a huge impact edition as well.

1184
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 11: Max Love of the dog Check podcast with us. He

1185
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 11: just hurt my heart there a little bit talking about Yeah, Obo,

1186
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 11: he was a good Houston Texan last year on a

1187
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 11: pretty bad team. He really came on month of December

1188
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 11: and started showing why the Browns went after him and

1189
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 11: why they they spent the way they did on him.

1190
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 11: That's that's that's three pretty solid names there in you know,

1191
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 11: Obo in Thornhill, and then like I mentioned, off the

1192
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 11: Top and Delpit. What do you think about this the

1193
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 11: rest of this team as far as it's constructed and

1194
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 11: how much different it is than the one we saw

1195
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 11: on Christmas Eve Day.

1196
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 7: To be honest with you, I don't think it's all

1197
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 7: that different. I think the biggest difference with the offense

1198
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 7: in Joe Flacco. Like, even if it was an extra

1199
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 7: week or two, you do see Flacco starting to settle

1200
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 7: down a little bit more. He's been having better performances

1201
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 7: as time has gone on. But it's interesting, like Amari

1202
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 7: Cooper did not play against the Jets like he's been

1203
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 7: performing without some of his top weapons. Like you could

1204
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 7: see he's very very comfortable in that offense, which coming

1205
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 7: in that was the biggest thing for me I mean really,

1206
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 7: the only game he lost was the first game against

1207
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 7: the Rams, so he's looking more comfortable as time has

1208
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 7: gone on. The team is all not all that different,

1209
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 7: to be honest with you. Offensively, the only thing that's

1210
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 7: a little bit different could be different is the running

1211
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 7: back depth because Pierre Strong picked up an injury this

1212
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 7: past week. But even then, it's not one of your

1213
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 7: top two guys. Defensively, very much the same, a lot

1214
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 7: of the same guy playing, and now they're getting some

1215
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 7: starters back, which is huge.

1216
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, how big do you think this last week was

1217
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 11: getting those guys some rest. You'd never really hear excuses like, oh,

1218
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 11: they were rusty, But you know what do you think

1219
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 11: about that? That idea that they got some time off,

1220
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 11: they got some chances to heal, and now they're a

1221
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 11: little bit more at full strength.

1222
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 7: It's all well and good until you look at one

1223
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 7: who comes out there on Saturday. Because the reality is

1224
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 7: you have that extra week. Your kicker, Dustin Hopkins, still

1225
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 7: is not going to play, so that extra week at

1226
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 7: least for him, didn't matter as much in that sense.

1227
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 7: But you have to come out and start fast, and

1228
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 7: that was the biggest key that Eric and I talked

1229
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 7: about too, Because you have a week off where the

1230
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 7: vast majority of your starters don't play. You can't roll

1231
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 7: into a game, especially on the road, against a team

1232
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 7: that can put points slow. You can't come out slow.

1233
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 7: You have to go especially offensively, set the tone, put

1234
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 7: some points, keep the crowd a little bit more quiet.

1235
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 7: That has to be the main thing for the Browns. So, honestly,

1236
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 7: thinking back to the game before Christmas, I wouldn't be

1237
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 7: surprised if we saw a shot the first couple of plays,

1238
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 7: just like we saw then, Like, I think the Browns

1239
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 7: are gonna look downfield early, and if I'm the Browns,

1240
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 7: I am trying to punch him in the mouth as

1241
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 7: soon as I can.

1242
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, worked well last time, worked for the Texans on

1243
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 11: Saturday night in Indianapolis. They basically did the same thing.

1244
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 11: They get that touchdown Stroud and Nico Collins. So you're

1245
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 11: in that area. You know a little bit about CJ.

1246
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 11: Stroud because he's an Ohio State Buckeye, but you've also

1247
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 11: have not been any stranger to the successes he's gone

1248
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 11: through this season. How much does he change the complexion

1249
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 11: of things from the Browns and Brown's fans standpoint. I

1250
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 11: know y'all are a confident bunch, but that was a

1251
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 11: different unit seeing case Keenuman, a little bit of Dave

1252
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 11: S Mills. What's the difference now in y'all's eyes with Stroud?

1253
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 7: I can speak through for myself as well as the

1254
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 7: Browns fandom. Brown's fandom. I know for a fact the

1255
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 7: last AFC South team we wanted to play coming in

1256
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 7: this week was the Texans. I think anybody who doesn't

1257
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 7: says that wasn't the case to you is live like

1258
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 7: nobody wants to play at Texans. One because they played

1259
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 7: good defense, like they have a defensive front that can

1260
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 7: stop the run, that can force you into uncomfortable positions.

1261
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 7: But two because of c. J. Stroud and it's a quarterback.

1262
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 7: The Browns really haven't seen the caliber of much this year,

1263
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 7: and when they have, they've struggled at least defensively. And

1264
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 7: I think the ability for the Texans to stretch the field,

1265
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 7: which is what I think their best at offensively. The

1266
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,760
Speaker 7: ability to stretch the field downfield against an aggressive defensive

1267
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 7: back unit not only could result in big catches, but

1268
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 7: big pass interferences. And I think a guy like Nico Collins,

1269
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 7: who's six or four runs like to win. Athletic mismatch

1270
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 7: is going to draw a lot of attention from a

1271
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 7: guy like Martin Emerson, and Emerson is you know, it's

1272
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 7: hit or miss with him, he can go make an

1273
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 7: incredible play on the ball. He is also very early

1274
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 7: a lot of times draws pay receivers drop pass interferences,

1275
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 7: so that ability to stretch the ball downfield is more

1276
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 7: prevalent with CJ. Stroud I also think just managing a

1277
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 7: game the Texans in general, you are more confident with

1278
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 7: a guy like c J. Stroud in and you could

1279
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 7: see the plays he makes off script. You could see

1280
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 7: how confident the offensive line is, the running backs like

1281
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 7: everybody rallies around that guy, and I think that's what

1282
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 7: you need in a franchise quarterback, but especially in a

1283
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 7: game like this, which you know people will say this

1284
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 7: is his first playoff game. Last week was a playoff

1285
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 7: game basically, so this is technically his first playoff game,

1286
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 7: really a second. But he's no stranger to big games,

1287
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 7: playing in Ohio State college football, playoff all that stuff.

1288
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,479
Speaker 7: So having a guy who's honestly been in a couple

1289
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 7: of big games before rather than a backup who's sat

1290
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 7: behind CJ. Stroud all year is enormous.

1291
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 11: Let's take CJ. Stroud's name out of the equation. Who

1292
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 11: do you see offense defense as the biggest challenge, the

1293
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 11: biggest guy who kind of not takes your breath away

1294
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,919
Speaker 11: but gives you a little bit of pause and makes

1295
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 11: you kind of worry some of about what's going to

1296
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 11: happen on Saturday afternoon.

1297
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 7: Oh, Will Anderson? For sure? It is no brainer Will

1298
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 7: Anderson because he didn't play last time, first of all,

1299
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 7: but second of all, the weakest unit for the Browns

1300
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 7: right now is their offensive line, especially their tackles. And honestly,

1301
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 7: when the Browns have been out man like against guys

1302
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 7: like TJ. Watt, against guys like mont has Sweat, they've

1303
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 7: done a really really good job of keeping extra guys

1304
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 7: in or using a tight ender running back to chip like,

1305
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 7: they've done a really good job of slowing those guys down.

1306
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 7: But elite pass rusher against the backup offensive line scares

1307
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 7: me every time, and it should because that's a guy

1308
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 7: who can wreck a game. And if I'm the Cleveland Browns,

1309
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 7: I'm coming into this game knowing we can win this game.

1310
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 7: We just have to control the football and take care

1311
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 7: of the football. That is the biggest hindrance in the

1312
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 7: Browns operating at least offensively in that sense, because Will Anderson,

1313
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 7: like I said, record game, multiple sacks, forts bumble like

1314
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,439
Speaker 7: he can do all of that, and the Browns haven't

1315
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 7: seen him yet this year, which is the scariest part.

1316
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1317
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 11: Max loeb Is a podcaster, hosts The Dog Check on

1318
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 11: the Believe podcast network along with Eric Metcalf, the receiver

1319
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 11: running back return man extraordinaire from the old days in

1320
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 11: the nineteen nineties. Let's kind of revisit that Kevin Stavanski

1321
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 11: done a fantastic job this year. What though advantage do

1322
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 11: the Texans have in that they didn't have CJ. Stroud

1323
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 11: out there last time and Will Anderson and for the

1324
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 11: bulk of the game, Jonathan Grenard. The Browns have not

1325
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 11: seen on film a lot of stuff of the Texans,

1326
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 11: whereas the Texans quarterback wise, they know about Joe Flacco.

1327
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 7: How much of an advantage is that?

1328
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 11: How much does that not really matter because the talent

1329
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 11: that is on the Browns defense. What do you make

1330
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 11: of that idea of they've not seen this so there's

1331
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 11: x amount of advantage.

1332
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 7: I think it's probably more of an advantage defensively for

1333
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 7: the Texas than it is offensively for the Texans, because

1334
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 7: at the end of the day, the Browns have played

1335
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 7: some dynamic quarterbacks and honestly, they haven't done a great

1336
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 7: job in terms of keeping points off the board. But

1337
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 7: when you look at their performances against guys like Lamar Jackson,

1338
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 7: like they did enough to limit his explosive plays, guys

1339
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 7: like Brock Purty, like they did enough to limit his

1340
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 7: explosive plays. So as much as I want to say

1341
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 7: they're good against these elite quarterbacks, they still put up points,

1342
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 7: but they definitely have limited their explosive places, and I

1343
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 7: think that's the biggest thing defensively for the Browns. So

1344
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 7: not seeing film on CJ. Stroud in that regard, obviously,

1345
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 7: it's an advantage for the Texans in that sense, but

1346
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 7: I don't think it's as big of an advantage as

1347
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 7: when you look at the other side of the ball,

1348
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 7: especially because you talked about it, they didn't have Will

1349
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 7: Anderson at all. Blake Cashman is another guy that sticks

1350
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 7: out to me because he pops on film, but he's

1351
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 7: great against the run, and I think so much of

1352
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 7: what the Browns want to do offensively, obviously it wasn't

1353
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 7: the case when they played the Texans a few weeks ago.

1354
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 7: So much of what the Browns want to do offensively

1355
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 7: with Flacco goes through David Nijoku. And I think it

1356
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 7: is a matchup the Browns will like in Djoku against Cashman,

1357
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 7: but it's definitely a tougher matchup than what they saw

1358
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,439
Speaker 7: last time around. So that's another one for me where

1359
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 7: you don't know how they're gonna play David Nijoku with

1360
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 7: their starting linebacker. You don't know what they're gonna do

1361
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 7: with Will Anderson in terms of pass rush, and you

1362
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 7: don't know if it's gonna change how much they blitzed

1363
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 7: they try to get more one on ones. I think

1364
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 7: it's a bigger schematic advantage in terms of the Texans

1365
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 7: defense than it is Texans offense not having cjs drout,

1366
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 7: But both are in like inherent advantages for sure.

1367
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 11: Max Lob I asked you this last time. I'm gonna

1368
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 11: ask you this again. How the hell do you win

1369
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 11: eleven football games by going minus nine in turnover differential?

1370
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 7: It's I mean, it's astounding.

1371
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 8: That's what the Browns did this year.

1372
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 11: The Texans were plus ten on the year, which is

1373
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 11: really really good, but they don't even have have the

1374
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 11: same amount of wins. How how did this happen? It's amazing.

1375
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 7: I think, Well, one, I think it's coaching. I think

1376
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 7: Kem's fancy has done an unbelievable job. I wanted the

1377
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 7: Browns to win this past week so bad because it

1378
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 7: would have been the first, I think the first time

1379
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,439
Speaker 7: ever a team would have won twelve games with five

1380
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 7: different starting quarterbacks. Like he's been thrown to the Wolves

1381
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 7: in terms of the most important position on the field,

1382
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 7: lost his best player in Nick Chubb, Like what's the

1383
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 7: fansky has done as incredible? But I also just think people,

1384
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 7: you know, you look at the Browns, you look at

1385
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 7: the scores of these games and the past few weeks,

1386
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 7: like it's been moderately high scoring on the opponent's end.

1387
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 7: You got of got to look at how teams score

1388
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 7: like that Bears game touchdown because of a pick six,

1389
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 7: touchdown because of a ball returned to the one. This

1390
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 7: defense is incredible, incredible. First, I believe first in the

1391
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 7: NFL and yards per game, first in the NFL and

1392
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 7: yards per play first in the NFL in first downs,

1393
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 7: like this defense is suffocating and the reality is teams

1394
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 7: struggle to move the ball on them and sometimes it's

1395
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 7: the Browns doing it to themselves giving opponents the ball,

1396
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 7: you know, and plus territory or in the red zone.

1397
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 7: And that was a huge, huge issue at the start

1398
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 7: of the year. It's gotten better as time has gone on.

1399
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 7: It was a huge issue at the start of the year,

1400
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 7: like it's why they lost the Steelers game the beginning

1401
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 7: of the year. They give up fourteen points or the

1402
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 7: offense let the Steelers defense score fourteen points, Like you

1403
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 7: can't win a game like that. So it's been a

1404
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 7: huge issue at the beginning of the year. It's gotten

1405
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 7: better as times gone on. But flaccoat as much as

1406
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 7: Browns fans love him, as much as he loves to

1407
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 7: sling the football, he'll put it in harm's way, like

1408
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 7: he'll give you one for sure. And I think the

1409
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 7: only turnover free game the Browns I've had this year

1410
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 7: was at home against the Arizona Cards when they were

1411
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 7: starting Clayton two. So like, you got to take care

1412
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 7: of the football. The reason they're sitting in eleven wins

1413
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 7: with the minus nine turnover differential, I think is coaching,

1414
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 7: but it's also just because of the defense. Like you

1415
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 7: turn the ball over, defense will get a stop for you.

1416
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 7: Defense will embrace whatever adversity is in front of them,

1417
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 7: embrace the situation that they're put in, and sometimes honestly,

1418
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 7: sometimes it's holding them to three instead of seven, like

1419
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 7: stuff like that is huge, and this defense has been

1420
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 7: unbelievable with it.

1421
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 11: Well, he threw a pair of picks last time in Houston,

1422
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 11: but they're both basically arm punts.

1423
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 8: One was in the end zone.

1424
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 11: He's just taking a shot, you know, as time expired,

1425
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 11: it really didn't count. And then the other one, the defense,

1426
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 11: like you said, responded Texans had caught it deep in there.

1427
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 11: I think it was in the red zone, and the

1428
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 11: defense steps up and kept them from doing anything with it.

1429
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 7: So no harm, no foul really in all that regard.

1430
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 11: All right, let's wrap this up, Max Lobe. What do

1431
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 11: you see happening? I'm not saying perdict, but what do

1432
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 11: you see happen? If the Browns are to win, this

1433
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 11: must occur.

1434
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 4: It's tough.

1435
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 7: I think it's a couple of things. One I think

1436
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 7: like I said, I think it's limiting explosive plays on

1437
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 7: the Texan side Offensively, like if the Browns defense can't

1438
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 7: avoid CJ. Stroud throwing the ball over the top, they're

1439
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 7: gonna be okay. If they can keep everything in front

1440
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 7: of them, I think they're gonna be okay. I also

1441
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 7: think defensively it comes down to stopping the run, because

1442
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 7: there were a couple plays last time they played where

1443
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 7: Devin Singletary had a ten fifteen yard run. When you

1444
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 7: look at the box score, like it wasn't anything crazy,

1445
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 7: it was because the other runs were two yards behind

1446
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage, Like there were explosive runs there

1447
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 7: for sure. So if you can cut the head off

1448
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 7: that snake for CJ. Stroud in the third and longs

1449
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 7: and just let your pass rushers go get them, now

1450
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 7: you have Garrett Smith and Obokronquo. I love the Browns

1451
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 7: chances defensively. Offensively, it's gonna come down and taking care

1452
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 7: of the football. We talk about it every week. We

1453
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 7: haven't seen a turnover three games since Arizona, so I'm

1454
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 7: gonna keep saying it till we do see it. But

1455
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 7: it's taking care of the football and it's again it's

1456
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 7: just taking care or taking advantage of the matchups you have.

1457
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 7: The Browns obviously loved what they had on the outside

1458
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 7: with the Marii Cooper last game. Continuing to do that,

1459
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 7: it's gonna be really interesting to see. Because Cedric Tillman

1460
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 7: was mispracticed yesterday with a concussion, you don't know if

1461
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 7: he's gonna go. So that's another one you got to

1462
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 7: keep a close eye on. If they don't have that

1463
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 7: threat on the outside, ken guys is like Elijah Moore,

1464
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 7: David Bell step up and obviously they're gonna feed the

1465
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 7: ball to Najoku. And I think staying ahead of the

1466
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 7: chains is big for the Browns too, because again, backup

1467
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 7: offensive line against guys like Will Anderson, you don't want

1468
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 7: the same situation you want to put the Texans in

1469
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 7: where you're dropping back on third and long they're getting

1470
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 7: after the quarterback. If that happens, I think the Browns

1471
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 7: are in trouble, to be honest with you, So staying

1472
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 7: ahead of chains efficiently running the ball, you don't have

1473
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:41,919
Speaker 7: to run a ton. I know Texas defense is good

1474
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 7: against the run, but you don't have to run a ton.

1475
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 7: Just efficiently do it. And honestly, one thing I've been

1476
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 7: saying to everybody I've talked to, I think this game

1477
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 7: is gonna be a shootout. As much as I love

1478
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 7: the Browns defense, I think the Texans are as good

1479
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 7: as them through the air. I think they know they

1480
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 7: have some matchups there that they like, and I think

1481
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 7: Browns will be able to move the ball through the air.

1482
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 7: So like I think it is a moderately high scoring game.

1483
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 11: To be honest with you, it's gonna be fun. Max

1484
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 11: Lobe was awesome talking with you. Make sure you listen

1485
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 11: to Max on the Dog Check. It's a Browns podcast.

1486
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 11: He's gonna have fun stuff this week with Eric Metcalf.

1487
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 11: It's on the Believe Podcast network. Max can't believe we

1488
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 11: just did this a few weeks ago. It's great to

1489
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 11: do it.

1490
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 8: With you again.

1491
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 11: And it's been a fun, fun season.

1492
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 7: Yes, and nice. Thank you for having me on again.

1493
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 7: Like I said, thought we were on a collision course.

1494
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 7: Didn't know if it'd be the Texans, but I'm glad

1495
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 7: it is all right.

1496
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 4: Max Lobe, thank you for the time.

1497
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: Appreciate you boys. Thank y'all for stopping a bye.

1498
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 2: Drew's gonna actually stick around next because we've got a

1499
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:36,439
Speaker 2: little rews doesn't for you.

1500
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 1: Let's get wacky with Dalton Schultz right here.

1501
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 8: Tight end Dalton Schultz. The thing you wish you had invented?

1502
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 5: What is it? That's a loaded question. I think airplanes?

1503
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, it would be kind of sick, although testing it

1504
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 12: would not have been scary if I could like for

1505
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 12: go the testing part and have somebody else tested, like, yeah,

1506
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 12: I'd be appre.

1507
01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 8: Sweet you shot Hi. I wish i'd invented the slur

1508
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 8: for like the frozen.

1509
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, birthdays on seven eleven?

1510

01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 2: What is it?

1513
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 5: Okay?

Speaker 5: Growing up? Yeah, that's all we had in Utah.

1521
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 8: That was entertainment.

1522
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 5: Suicides.

1523
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 8: Suicides, that's suicides in Utah. Screwballs. Here in Houston, Fort

1524
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 8: choice of words first feats out proud, but.

1525
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:39,480

1527
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 11: you guys are going on a road trip. Got a

1528
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 11: nice comfortable car driving from Houston to say Utah.

1529
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 8: Who's the driver? Who's the navigator?

1530
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 5: Not teaking?

1531
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 8: Not tigan? Okay, so tea can sitting in the back.

1532
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 8: Who's riding shotgun?

1533
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 5: Okay, we're counting coaches.

1534
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 8: You can if you'd like, yeah, you're sure you can.

1535
01:06:58,280 --> 01:06:59,920

Speaker 5: Also, Beck, that would be a good navigator too. I'm

1539
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 5: gonna go with that.

1540
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,880

01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 5: Get out of bed?

1590
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 8: What's the last thing you do before you close your

Speaker 5: Set my alarm?

01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 8: Could you wake up without an alarm?

1594
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:15,719
Speaker 5: I could?

1595
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:17,479

1601
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,680
Speaker 11: Now, were you able to roll back over after the

1602
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 11: Congrats on the playoff clinching wind. It's a nice feeling.

1603
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 11: Were you able to roll back over and go back

1604
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 11: and get some more shut eye?

1605
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 5: Or no?

1606
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 8: No?

1607
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 5: Once a month. I'm up. You're up. I just rode.

1608
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 5: I rode it all day.

1609
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 8: No napping on the country, No, no nap, went to

1610
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 8: bed early. You're an iron man. Wow.

1611
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,559
Speaker 11: Okay, if you have this choice, you could be the

1612
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 11: fastest human alive, but you've got offensive bad breath. Or

1613
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 11: you could fly, but you wouldn't have any sense of

1614
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 11: taste or smell.

1615
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 12: Oh fine, I'm taking a fly f I don't care

1616
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 12: about smelling stuff. The dude flying is like the one

1617
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 12: superpower that I pick over like anything.

1618
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,640
Speaker 8: It's interesting. Christian Harris chows flying because he's already a

1619
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 8: version and is a version to bad breath to.

1620
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 11: It's because he's already the fastest who would be on

1621
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 11: the four by one hundred Texans team?

1622
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 12: I played the fifth Yeh, I'm gonna I'm gonna anger

1623
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,080
Speaker 12: a lot of people with that one, so I'm just

1624
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 12: gonna stay out of it.

1625
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 8: Smart. Did you ever do any track and field?

1626
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:24,440
Speaker 5: Me? Yeah?

1627
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 8: No, one pull vaults hurt me? Hur I seen you?

1628
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 5: Yes?

1629
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 8: Hey? Actually you know what that brings me? This is

1630
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 8: kind of football ish.

1631
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 11: We've seen you on the sideline, like working the sidelines

1632
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 11: this season, and it kind of appears like, oh, Dalton's

1633
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 11: gonna go out of bounds, but you wind up bringing

1634
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 11: the pain, bringing like the business end of Dalton Schultz

1635
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 11: to a dB and it's awesome. Other times we've seen

1636
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 11: you sort of do that move, but then you spin

1637
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 11: out like you did against the Cults and you move forward.

1638
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 8: Is that just kind of I'm just doing what's happening?

1639
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 11: Or are you setting people up sometimes and putting this

1640
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 11: on tape so maybe they'll anticipate this or might just overthinking.

1641
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, I wish I could tell you that, like like

1642
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 12: I try to do dude, I'm out there just reacting.

1643
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 12: Like if some people's angles are like too high, and

1644
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 12: like I can sense of their speed. Is like I

1645
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 12: know when I'm gonna slow down and they don't. Yeah,

1646
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 12: and it's like they think I'm running out of balance,

1647
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 12: so they're trying to like kill you. So sometimes like

1648
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 12: cutting back cannot only save you a hit, but like

1649
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 12: you can gain five six more yards just because a

1650
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 12: guy takes like a high angle. It's just it's reactionary.

1651
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 12: It's purely reactionary.

1652
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 5: That's it.

1653
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 8: Yeah right, I love the hurdle too. That was cool.

1654
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 5: That was terrible.

1655
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 8: What's one nickname you wish you could have?

1656
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 5: The Flash?

1657
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 8: The Flash?

1658
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:32,640
Speaker 5: Kidding? No Roadhouse?

1659
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 8: Roadhouse?

1660
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 11: Okay, we've covered that on these interviews, so I won't

1661
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 11: go too deep into those.

1662
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 8: Dalton Schultz, thank you so much. This has been a

1663
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 8: Drews dozen.

Speaker 1: All right, let's go.

1671
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 2: It's that time of the show on a playoff edition

1672
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 2: Texans All Access presented by Matters Firm, that I your host,

1673
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 2: John Harris, Foot Plano Southlind Reporter, get to pick all.

1674
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: The playoff games straight up and against the spread.

1675
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 2: Now, you know, I don't pick the Texans game because

1676
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 2: I never go against Hart and Head, although my hearthead

1677
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 2: are kind of saying the same thing. It's been interesting

1678
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 2: to watch this line move. Actually for the Texans game.

1679
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 2: It started Texans one one and a half. Now it's

1680
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 2: moved to well, moved all the way to like Cleveland

1681
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 2: three to three and a half, and now it's moved

1682
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 2: down to Cleveland one and a half. So interesting goings on.

1683
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 2: Vegas still thinks the Browns are gonna win and win

1684
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 2: by one and a half.

1685
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm not of that mindset. So here we go.

1686
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 2: In the game following our Saturday night, the Dolphins are

1687
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 2: taking on the Chiefs. Now Winshill is supposed to be

1688
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 2: minus thirty in this game. The Chiefs not play in this,

1689
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 2: the Dolphins do not. That'll be a huge advantage for

1690
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:57,000
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. I know Tyreek has played in this as

1691
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,600
Speaker 2: a Chief, but to a Tongovilo is Hawaiian playing in

1692
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 2: that cold weather. He did play well last year in

1693
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 2: Buffalo in some bad weather. But I don't think it's

1694
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 2: gonna pan out. I think the Chiefs needed kind of

1695
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 2: a reset last week. I think Mahomes and Kelsey needed

1696
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 2: to watch. I don't think that happens for every team,

1697
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 2: but I think they needed it. I think the Chiefs

1698
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 2: are gonna end up winning this. They're favored by four.

1699
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 2: They'll win it and cover that four. So let's go

1700
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 2: Chiefs to win and cover. Then Sunday again I talked

1701
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 2: about earlier. Now this one might move, like I've said,

1702
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 2: due to the weather that's coming towards Buffalo.

1703
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo's faired by nine and a half.

1704
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 2: I've said I think the Steelers don't score in double digits.

1705
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: I think the Bills will take care of business. They'll

1706
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: win this by ten to fourteen. That's more than nine

1707
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 1: and a half. Bills win and Bills cover.

1708
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 2: So according to that, I'm saying Chiefs and Bills are

1709
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 2: going We're going with chalk. That means Texans win, They're

1710
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 2: gonna end up going to Baltimore at that point.

1711
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: If one of them loses, I'm sorry, whoever.

1712
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 2: If one of them wins, the Texans will go to

1713
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 2: that particular location Dolphins or Bills. If they both lose

1714
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 2: and the Tech win, then the Texans would host a

1715
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 2: playoff game in the division round, which has never happened.

1716
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 2: But that's a long ways away. Packers Cowboys Dallas faired

1717
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 2: by seven. I like the Packers, I love the Packers makeup.

1718
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 2: I think the Cowboys are gonna win this game by

1719
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 2: more than seven. Lions and Rams, I think Lions are

1720
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 2: going chalk here Detroit winning by more than three.

1721
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 1: Eagles and Buccaneers.

1722
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 2: I think the Eagles are going to find themselves, but

1723
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 2: in and upset, the Buccaneers are gonna knock off the

1724
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles, defending NFC champs, are going down. The Bucks

1725
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 2: are playing good football, and they're playing at home. They

1726
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,719
Speaker 2: played a couple of years ago and the Buccaneers.

1727
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 1: Beat the Eagles up.

1728
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 2: But that was kind of a still growing Eagles team.

1729
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 2: This team is to function, dysfunction all the way. So

1730
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 2: let's go Bucks in an upset to win by three.

1731
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 2: All right, we get back, Let's get a little Demico.

1732
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:53,000
Speaker 1: Reloaded and some cutlets right here in.

1733
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 2: Texans All Access, we go on final segment of this

01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:59,240

1797
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:54,440
Speaker 3: Oh, unbelievable.

1798
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 14: I mean, this is kind of what we've been hunting

1799
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,760
Speaker 14: since we got together as a group. Miko told us

1800
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:00,080
Speaker 14: at the beginning of the year. You know, you to

1801
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,479
Speaker 14: do is getting the dance and anything can happen. And obviously, yeah,

1802
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 14: you know, everybody knows he's right.

1803
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 1: So we're here.

1804
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 14: Now, let's let's see what we can do with the opportunity.

1805
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 11: You weren't on this team until this year, but you've

1806
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 11: played in the NFL for a while now.

1807
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 8: It's also your first time in the postseason.

1808
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 14: It is, yes, you are correct, Yeah, that's that's right.

1809
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 8: Makes it a little bit extra special to it.

1810
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:16,639
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely, absolutely.

1811
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 14: You know, the opportunity to be playing in these kind

1812
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 14: of games, I mean, this is this is why we

1813
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 14: do what we do, you know, to have this opportunity

1814
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 14: and see what kind of run we can go on.

1815
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 11: All right, this is a defense that's very salty. You

1816
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,680
Speaker 11: guys are very familiar with it. Your role is multifaceted.

1817
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 11: I mean you got to block, you gotta catch, you

1818
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:33,719
Speaker 11: gotta run all that stuff. What's the challenge that sticks

1819
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 11: out the most when you look at Cleveland's.

1820
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,760
Speaker 14: Defense, Like you said, they're they're really good defense. I mean,

1821
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 14: their stats speak for themselves, and you know, third down,

1822
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 14: red zone kind of kind of all across the field.

1823
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 14: I think the big challenge for US is, you know,

1824
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 14: handling their playmakers. You know, they got some, you know,

1825
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 14: obviously the two edge guys that are pretty good at

1826
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 14: what they do, and they got some backers that can run.

1827
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 14: Guys in the secondary can they can cover and make

1828
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 14: plays on the ball, and they'll show up the run

1829
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 14: game also. So I think it's gonna be one of

1830
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 14: those games that will stick to doing what we do

1831
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 14: best and you know, got to have some playmakers step up,

1832
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 14: and we've had that throughout the season, and you know,

1833
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:02,679
Speaker 14: I don't expect any of that have to change.

1834
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 11: You're amped up to play every game, no matter what.

1835
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 8: You're amped up to play a playoff game, no matter what.

1836
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 11: But are you amped up even a little bit more

1837
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 11: getting a second crack at these guys knowing that three

1838
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 11: weeks ago it was a different constituted team, different makeup

1839
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 11: of the team that you guys had.

1840
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 14: Right, I mean, you know, last time we played these guys,

1841
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 14: it wasn't performance. So we wanted to put on the

1842
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 14: field and you know, we've talked all week about You

1843
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 14: don't really get opportunities like this in the NFL to

1844
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 14: to kind of redeem what has happened previously. So that's

1845
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 14: kind of how we see it. As you know, we

1846
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 14: have an opportunity to go out improve that the product

1847
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 14: we put on the field last time we play them

1848
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,720
Speaker 14: is in Texans football, and we have an opportunity to

1849
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 14: show people what Texans football is. And I don't think

1850
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 14: anybody in this locker room is going to miss that chance.

1851
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 14: So I'm fired up, man, I'm really really excited about

1852
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 14: this one.

1853
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 11: Let me fire you up one little bit more with

1854
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 11: this parting shot. Did you know, Andrew Beck, you're the

1855
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 11: only Houston Texan ever to have a kickoff return for

1856
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 11: a score, to catch a touchdown, and to run for

1857
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 11: a touchdown in history and much less you did in

1858
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 11: one season.

1859
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 5: That's really cool.

1860
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 1: That's really cool. No, I did not know that.

1861
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:56,679
Speaker 5: I did not know that.

1862
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:58,639
Speaker 4: That's exciting, man, exciting.

1863
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 8: Indeed, Andrew, that's luck on SAT knock him dead.

1864
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:02,599
Speaker 4: Awesome, Thank you so much, man.

1865
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 2: And finally, how could we end this show without a

1866
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 2: little Demico reloaded? Mark and I caught up with him

1867
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 2: on Monday to talk about everything that's going on with

1868
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:15,600
Speaker 2: this squad this year was a fun conversation. Take a

1869
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 2: listen to this our last thing before we kick off

1870
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 2: with the Browns on Saturday.

1871
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:24,919
Speaker 6: Coach, congratulations AFC South champions. It's been a busy weekend

1872
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 6: and a busy week ahead to take on the Cleveland

1873
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,599
Speaker 6: Browns on Saturday. But first of all, can you reflect

1874
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:32,320

01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 4: For you and thank you Mark. It's it's truly a

1876
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 4: special moment.

1877
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:38,200
Speaker 9: Right to be able to come in the first year

1878
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 9: a young football team, Right to see the growth of

1879
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,600
Speaker 9: ups and downs throughout the entire year, for us to

1880
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 9: finish the win, finish the season right with a big

1881
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 9: win over the Colts, to get up opportunity to get

1882
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 9: into the playoffs right, and then to sit at home

1883
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 9: and watch the Titans beat the Jags, for us to

1884
01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 9: clinch the AFC South Man.

1885
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 4: What a special moment, man, what a uh?

1886
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:05,759
Speaker 9: Truly, this is one that always I always remember, especially

1887
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 9: moment of winn into the vision with this special team

1888
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 9: that we have.

1889
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 2: Coach, I couldn't help, but there's this symmetry for you

1890
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 2: and I because the first time I met you was

1891
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 2: actually at the combine in India. It's the first time

1892
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 2: I officially met you, and that's an interview with Mark

1893
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 2: and I are like, you know, asking you about what

1894
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:22,520
Speaker 2: do you want to do with your philosophy?

1895
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,400
Speaker 3: What are the things that you're you're gonna do?

1896
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 2: And then I'm sitting there in the hallway talking to

1897
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 2: you and it's like, you did those things. You went

1898
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 2: out and like you've said a million times, you've earned it.

1899
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 2: You didn't say, you know, hey, I'm Damika Ryan's well,

1900
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:37,599
Speaker 2: you know, this is just gonna happen.

1901
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:38,680
Speaker 3: You went out and you earned it.

1902
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:40,599
Speaker 2: And I just thought about the symmetry in that moment

1903
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 2: of holy cow, when you walk in that locker room,

1904
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 2: are you feeling, you know, joy, relief? What are you

1905
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 2: kind of your thoughts as you're kind of walking like,

1906
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:50,799
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, what's happening at this moment?

1907
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 4: Walking in? It's a ton of joy, all right? To

1908
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 4: see it? All right?

1909
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 9: You have this vision and taking over taking over his

1910
01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 9: head coach. You have this vision of how you see

1911
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 9: the team. And my vision was always about, you know,

1912
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 9: the development and delivery of young men. Continue to see

1913
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,639
Speaker 9: them grow and develop throughout the entire year. And that's

1914
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 9: what I kind of heart my vision on is this

1915
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 9: growth mentality, right, and that's to see our.

1916
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 4: Team truly grow day after day.

1917
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 9: Week after week, and then to see it all, you know,

1918
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 9: come to fruition right there at the end versus the Colts.

1919
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 9: It's just it's a moment of joy, right, truly glad

1920
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:29,599
Speaker 9: for these guys to see the excitement on their faces, right,

1921
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:31,680
Speaker 9: A lot of guys who've probably been here a few

1922
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 9: years or been other places, who hadn't won, right, hadn't

1923
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 9: been in the playoffs, to see them and see the

1924
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 9: excitement of getting in right, winning now winning the division. Like, man,

1925
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:44,600
Speaker 9: I'm so proud of you guys and so happy for

1926
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 9: them to be able to get this spotlight right now,

1927
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 9: be able to have their moment right and be able

1928
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 9: to go shine in front of the in front of the.

1929
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:54,760
Speaker 6: World, in the locker room right after the game you

1930
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 6: went right to it starts over.

1931
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 3: Now.

1932
01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 6: This is not the end, this is the beginning of

1933
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,599
Speaker 6: something else. Can you speak to that a little bit,

1934
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,080
Speaker 6: because what an opportunity you talk about the OP.

1935
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 9: That's an op, yeah, and that's what we've been talking about,

1936
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 9: getting that up and now you get that OP and

1937
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:15,120
Speaker 9: everything it took everything right to get that op and

1938
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 9: now it's just a big reset. Now none of that matters, right,

1939
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 9: none of no records matter. Like it's truly one week

1940
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:27,800
Speaker 9: at a time, right, So it truly starts over for

1941
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 9: me in my mind, and it's reset. It's awesome that

1942
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 9: we get to go against a team that we've just

1943
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 9: played a couple of weeks ago, and now you get

1944
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:40,679
Speaker 9: the reset, refocus. Everything's about anything in any way, whatever

1945
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 9: it takes to beat the Browns, right, And that's my

1946
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:45,559
Speaker 9: mindset of is starting new starting for us.

1947
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:47,680
Speaker 4: You win, you get another opportunity.

1948
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 2: There have been a lot of guys in this team, coach,

1949
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 2: that have had an opportunity. And I've asked you about

1950
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 2: him before, but I felt like there were some key

1951
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 2: moments in a game. And one of the things you

1952
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 2: and I talked about after the game was it was

1953
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:01,320
Speaker 2: kind of like a fight, Like first four or five

1954
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 2: rounds felt like you had in control, and all of

1955
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 2: a sudden six, seven and eight, the rot like one

1956
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 2: of the routes is ending and you're kind of hanging

1957
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 2: on the ropes like man, I'm hanging on but you

1958
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 2: got kind of a second win, it felt, and it

1959
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 2: felt like looking back at the game, there was one

1960
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 2: of the plays that hit when Khalil Davis knifed in

1961
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 2: the backfield and got to tackle for a loss, and

1962
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 2: it was almost like that didn't completely stop the bleeding,

1963
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 2: but it felt like it stemmed it a little bit,

1964
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 2: and then everybody kind of got a second second winn

1965
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 2: and then you really slowed down the running game the

1966
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:27,639
Speaker 2: rest of the way.

1967
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 3: What is Clil Davis meant to your defense this year?

1968
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 4: Hey man?

1969
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 9: Picking up Khalil, He's done done a great job. You

1970
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 9: didn't really know what we were getting where we were spelled.

1971
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 9: We got a rotational guy. I was just gonna get

1972
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,599
Speaker 9: some reps spelled a couple of guys. But he's showing up,

1973
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,559
Speaker 9: and he's showing up made some big time plays for us.

1974
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 9: Playing on the other side of line of scrimer is

1975
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 9: making that huge TfL kind of give us someone win

1976
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 9: and give us some life there in the running game.

1977
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 9: Khalil has done a really good job for us all

1978
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:59,559
Speaker 9: throughout the year, just in his role right, He's thrived.

1979
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 9: And it's a lot of guys like that who stepped

1980
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 9: in who we didn't have at the beginning of the year.

1981
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 4: But they stepped in and they made plays.

1982
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 9: Everybody has kind of had their moments throughout the year

1983
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,560
Speaker 9: that's put our team in this position.

1984
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 6: And it seems like that's very important that everybody feels

1985
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 6: included because everybody has to make plays.

1986
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 3: Solbard has to catch the other night.

1987
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:22,880
Speaker 6: Everybody's doing something for you, coach, and that's sort of

1988
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 6: the environment that you've nurtured from the very beginning.

1989
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure when I talk about that team first mentality,

1990
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 9: that's what it's taken for us. And we've lost a

1991
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 9: ton of guys. Unfortunately, we had multiple guys in and out.

1992
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 9: Guys missed extended periods of time coming back in.

1993
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 4: So how do you keep the train moving right?

1994
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:44,840
Speaker 9: It's just always understanding it's not about one guy, and

1995
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 9: that's always been a message for me. It's not about

1996
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 9: one guy. We need everybody's best. So whenever you get

1997
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:54,720
Speaker 9: your opportunity, your moment to step in, like when you

1998
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 9: have to shine, we need you to shine and make

1999
01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 9: plays for us. And every man in the locker room

2000
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 9: has done that at some point in time throughout the

2001
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:01,639
Speaker 9: entire year.

2002
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 2: Cause you've made the regular season, the playoff leap as

2003
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 2: a player, and you know what goes into that. How

2004
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 2: difficult is that for a player to get out of

2005
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 2: quote unquote regular season mode and into playoff mode, if

2006
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 2: there's such a thing. And at that point, how much

2007
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 2: did Saturday playing like a playoff game sort of help

2008
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 2: you going forward?

2009
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 9: And for us, and my message with the guys is

2010
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,920
Speaker 9: since our second, since our last Tennessee game, like that

2011
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 9: was the playoffs there, Yeah, because we needed to win

2012
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 9: both of those games, the last two games to get in.

2013
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 9: So you know, we kind of already transition from regular

2014
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 9: season to playoff mode and we've been there the past

2015
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 9: two weeks and that just continues right to move forward.

2016
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 9: We're in that same mode and it doesn't change for us, right,

2017
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 9: our message hasn't changed since Tennessee. Right, we know, continue

2018
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 9: to win, continue to win, continue to win. However, we

2019
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 9: have to get it done. Our guys have taken to

2020
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 9: that message and they've shown up the past two weeks.

2021
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 9: They've shown up and may plays when it mattered.

2022
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 3: How gratifying is it when you know what the first

2023
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 3: play is going to be and it works that well?

2024
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 5: All right?

2025
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 6: Because CJ talked about in the post game a little bit, Yeah,

2026
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 6: we were gonna try that and you tried it and

2027
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 6: it worked to perfecsion.

2028
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 4: Wow.

2029
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,920
Speaker 9: I mean, that's such an awesome moment just for everyone

2030
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 9: when you know what's gonna happen if they give you

2031
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,599
Speaker 9: the proper coverage and see Nico is one on one,

2032
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,200
Speaker 9: he gets behind the guys like, Oh, this is it,

2033
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 9: this is.

2034
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 1: We got it.

2035
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 4: Nico, please stay up and get in.

2036
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2037
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 9: Man, you talk about a big momentum boost for our team,

2038
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 9: all right, because they drove down, they got a field

2039
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 9: goal on us there early, and then once we scored

2040
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 9: that touchdown, I was like, oh, okay, like we got it.

2041
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:46,559
Speaker 4: Kind of knew we had the game there.

2042
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 9: Defense need to tighten a few things up, but new

2043
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 9: way or offense or anytime you give up a pass

2044
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 9: like that, it's just gut renting, right when from the

2045
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 9: defensive perspective, so knew we had them on their heels.

2046
01:26:57,680 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2047
01:26:58,080 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 2: That that I asked you about that and what that

2048
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 2: give your your defense and how the defense responded With

2049
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 2: every good there's obviously some things you want to clean

2050
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,960
Speaker 2: up and I know run game one of the things

2051
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 2: you know I heard you talk about in your press

2052
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 2: conference fact that there's too many times when there was

2053
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 2: just one guy there, intact I missed a tackle. Then

2054
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 2: obviously Taylor was able to pick up some yards. Mostly

2055
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,639
Speaker 2: it was Taylor as opposed to Moss. What's the biggest

2056
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 2: thing to get the run defense back the way it's

2057
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 2: been playing, coach, what's the biggest kind of aspect to

2058
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 2: that going forward?

2059
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's gonna start up front.

2060
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 9: As I always say, and I say it every week,

2061
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 9: is how we set the edges from our defensive ends.

2062
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 9: Didn't think we set the edge good enough. We were

2063
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 9: kind of running up field to the quarterback. So there

2064
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:42,680
Speaker 9: was a lot of space in our run in the

2065
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 9: in the interior of our you know, defensive line there

2066
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:49,559
Speaker 9: and then our linebackers safeties like we have to swarm

2067
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 9: the football and tackle it like and if you have

2068
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 9: a one on one opportunity, right, we got to put

2069
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,320
Speaker 9: our body on guys and wrap them up right, and

2070
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 9: everybody else has to show up to the party.

2071
01:27:58,360 --> 01:27:59,640
Speaker 4: So too many.

2072
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 9: Times we're one on one in a hole and we

2073
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 9: completely with all right, we're not we got our eyes down.

2074
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 9: We're just playing with poor techniques. So we just got

2075
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 9: to get back to this week, just the fundamentals of

2076
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 9: tackling right and it's always you continue to harp on that,

2077
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,559
Speaker 9: like moving forward in the playoffs, what does it takes

2078
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 9: gonna be the team who plays sound, the team who

2079
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 9: is on their fundamentals, on their techniques, That's what's gonna

2080
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 9: win in the playoffs.

2081
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,439
Speaker 6: As much as you can or are willing to share

2082
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:27,600
Speaker 6: a coach, final moments of the game, you got to

2083
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:29,640
Speaker 6: get out of that game. They have two timeouts. You

2084
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:31,760
Speaker 6: have to figure it out. We got to get ourselves

2085
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 6: off the field here with a victory. And you have

2086
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 6: Cameron Johnston taking the intentional safety and he runs all

2087
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:39,599
Speaker 6: the way to the corner. Me as a play by

2088
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 6: play guy, I'm looking at the clock because if it

2089
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:43,559
Speaker 6: goes zero, it's over and I gotta call it right

2090
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,599
Speaker 6: or whatever. But one second left? What about that whole process?

2091
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 6: Your headset must have been blowing up with all different thoughts.

2092
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, when I saw it was initially it was seven

2093
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 9: seconds on the clock, and so I'm like, okay, the

2094
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 9: one the only way that they can get back into

2095
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,799
Speaker 9: this game is this, they block a punt for a touchdown.

2096
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 4: As we talked I think earlier in the week about.

2097
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 9: Special teams and their strength was their punt block unit.

2098
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:09,760
Speaker 5: Right.

2099
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 9: They blocked four punts on the entire year, So my

2100
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 9: my instant is like, oh, we're not giving them an

2101
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:18,639
Speaker 9: opportunity to block a punt here. It's like they did

2102
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 9: versus Tennessee. They blocked two punts and that changed the game.

2103
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,080
Speaker 9: So I didn't want to give them that opportunity. So

2104
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 9: the thought process was just take a safety, right, we

2105
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 9: know they can't come back and score.

2106
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:30,320
Speaker 4: Hopefully.

2107
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 9: I was thinking the time will run out there, but

2108
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:34,800
Speaker 9: you know, Cam should have moved around a one more

2109
01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 9: second and then jumped out of the back. But Cam

2110
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:39,680
Speaker 9: did a great job of executing what we asked him

2111
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 9: to do, and we ended up one second on the clock.

2112
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 4: Of course, our special.

2113
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:47,680
Speaker 9: Teams coach Frank Ross, he's freaking out at the moments, like, oh,

2114
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:49,080
Speaker 9: we gotta kick it now.

2115
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:51,120
Speaker 4: It's like, we're okay, We're gonna be fine.

2116
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:53,720
Speaker 9: Our guys did a great job of covering right the

2117
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 9: punt after the safety, did a great job of covering,

2118
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 9: getting the guy down and finishing the game.

2119
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 6: So I want, says Bob McNair, why you're so positive,

2120
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:04,840
Speaker 6: And he said, I don't know too many successful people

2121
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 6: who are negative to you. He asked me that and

2122
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 6: you're very positive. You were asked in your press conference,

2123
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:11,960
Speaker 6: what's your coaching style, you said, I'm positive. What about

2124
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:15,600
Speaker 6: that coach contributing to the success here? Especially in the

2125
01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:18,639
Speaker 6: close games. I feel like in all these close games,

2126
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 6: and maybe this is a magical metaphysical thing, but that

2127
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:24,719
Speaker 6: has an effect on the guys, they expect good things

2128
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 6: to happen.

2129
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:27,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, and that's that's the biggest thing there, Like, you

2130
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:28,559
Speaker 9: have to believe.

2131
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:31,600
Speaker 4: And that's my biggest thing. You believe, and you.

2132
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 9: You have to expect, like you said, you have to

2133
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 9: expect that it's gonna go right no matter how it looks.

2134
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 9: It's one bad play here or one pill Like, man,

2135
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:42,919
Speaker 9: we can easily like go off the handle and scream

2136
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:45,639
Speaker 9: and yell at the player, hey don't jump both sides

2137
01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:48,960
Speaker 9: don't like hey man, Like hey, next play, We're gonna

2138
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:49,320
Speaker 9: be all right.

2139
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 4: There's time on the clock.

2140
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 9: We have a chance, we have an opportunity, like and

2141
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:57,040
Speaker 9: so it's always continuing to you know, push that belief

2142
01:30:57,040 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 9: into the players, like no matter what happens, no matter

2143
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:02,760
Speaker 9: about that moment, like we're gonna overcome, We're gonna be fine.

2144
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 9: We're gonna be just fine. And the players start to

2145
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:07,799
Speaker 9: take that on and they believe that, and everybody feel

2146
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,879
Speaker 9: like I feel, everyone wants to be around someone who's positive,

2147
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:14,040
Speaker 9: someone who's encouraging. It's enough people out here look telling

2148
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 9: the guys, you know how bad they are, how they suck,

2149
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 9: or we need to get this guy or that guy

2150
01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 9: and this. We don't need that like the thing for us,

2151
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:25,439
Speaker 9: it's all about positive energy. It's all about being upbeat

2152
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 9: and making sure our team thrives off of that positive energy.

2153
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:32,200
Speaker 9: And as I tell our guys, when we execute and

2154
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:36,840
Speaker 9: we got great energy, that just creates that real enthusiasm.

2155
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:40,760
Speaker 9: And that's what really overtakes the entire stadium. When you're

2156
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:43,360
Speaker 9: in the away stadium and you're there, you're the only

2157
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 9: people in there cheering like that enthusiasm, it permeates throughout

2158
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 9: the entire building, and it really it really drives your

2159
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,800
Speaker 9: team to go out and play even harder, execute a

2160
01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 9: little bit better.

2161
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 4: And that's truly what I believe in Coach.

2162
01:31:57,360 --> 01:32:01,519
Speaker 2: After the game is over on Sunday and Jaguars have lost,

2163
01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:03,720
Speaker 2: and you realize, okay, we're playing a home game, and

2164
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 2: I'm sure you knew the scenario is that, Okay, it's

2165
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:06,040
Speaker 2: a home game.

2166
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 3: It's Cleveland. We saw them.

2167
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:11,200
Speaker 2: Too little over two weeks ago, Joe throwing the ball

2168
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:13,960
Speaker 2: over the yard, Mark Cooper, big game. When does your

2169
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 2: mindset kind of flipped to Cleveland? And what are kind

2170
01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:18,680
Speaker 2: of your initial thoughts as you get ready for the

2171
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 2: Browns to come in here for the playoff game?

2172
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:22,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, right after that game was over us like, Cleveland,

2173
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 9: let's go like not too many times you get a redo, right, right, right,

2174
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 9: and especially not a division opponent. But the way we

2175
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:35,719
Speaker 9: went out in that game, it's always left a bad

2176
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:41,759
Speaker 9: taste in my mouth of just poorly executed, like across

2177
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:45,680
Speaker 9: the board, offensively, defensively, like it special teams. It just

2178
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 9: was not a great outing by our team, right, And

2179
01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:51,679
Speaker 9: to get an opportunity, right, we can't do anything about

2180
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 9: the past, but to get an opportunity to go back

2181
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:56,080
Speaker 9: against that team who it kind of they took it

2182
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 9: to us here in our home stadium, right, and we

2183
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 9: get the opportunity to do something about that again. They

2184
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:06,160
Speaker 9: made some great plays, Omari had an outstanding game, made

2185
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:09,960
Speaker 9: some unbelievable catches there and for us, man, what an

2186
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 9: opportunity to see those guys again. We know they're gonna

2187
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 9: be at their best. Right, we got to play better,

2188
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 9: be at our best, and we play the right way,

2189
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 9: and we have an awesome opportunity right to move forward.

2190
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 6: How about the work week prep for this one, coach,

2191
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:26,960
Speaker 6: It's not a short week because it's Saturday to Saturday,

2192
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,400
Speaker 6: but it's a weird week because you are playing Saturday,

2193
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 6: and if you were playing Sunday would be all different.

2194
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:33,840
Speaker 6: So how do you handle the week getting ready for

2195
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:34,320
Speaker 6: the Browns?

2196
01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely beneficial by playing on Saturday.

2197
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:38,800
Speaker 9: So now we have a normal work week right now,

2198
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 9: everything again is just bumped up, like we talked about

2199
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,360
Speaker 9: all right the last week, but we were everybody was

2200
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 9: able to have Sunday off, right, so that was our

2201
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:48,439
Speaker 9: day after game off.

2202
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:48,720

Speaker 9: Got a lift in because college football playoffs kicked us

2205
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:55,599
Speaker 9: out of our buildings, so we can't do much.

2206
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,200
Speaker 4: But now we'll have a normal week moving forward.

2207
