1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,920 Speaker 1: What's happened? Everybody. 2 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 2: Welcome into Monday edition of Texans All Acts as we 3 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 2: back John Harris, Mark vander Meyer from the Honday Texans 4 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 2: Radio studio two days away, forty nine hours if my 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 2: map is correct, from you learning the Texans schedule. We 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: got a little bit of a nugget today, Oh we did, 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 2: so I want to get Mark's cut reaction on that. 8 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: We'll here, We'll do a little Texans audio jukebox from 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: Friday here from the rookies Blake Fisher and Kamari Lassiter, 10 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: and I'll read you the text that I sent Mark 11 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: halfway through Kamari's interview, which made a lot of sense. 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: As I'm listening to his interview, I thought I started nodding, 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 2: and I just texted Mark. I'll tell you what that 14 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: text is after a while and why it was important 15 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: as it pertained to Kamara Lasser and then of course 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: could have done the same for Blake Fisher. 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: So we'll do that in a little while. But Mark, 18 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: the schedule's coming out forty nine hours from now. We 19 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: do not know it. 20 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 2: We have no advanced viewing on it, although I would 21 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: like to have that advance viewing on it too. Because 22 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: I would like to know. First things first, the Texans 23 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: will not play in Arrowhead in the opener. That is 24 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: going to be reserved for the Baltimore Ravens. Your thought 25 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: when you saw that news the Baltimore Ravens will play 26 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: the open against the Chiefs. 27 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 3: I can't figure it out because last year they played Detroit. 28 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 3: We thought they would play maybe the Eagles. That would 29 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 3: have been a Super Bowl rematch when you want to 30 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: do that, No, I have a feeling that although the 31 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 3: conferences and networks don't line up the way they did previously, 32 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: I got a feeling that Fox and or CBS said, 33 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 3: uh huh, you're not getting the Eagles at the Chiefs 34 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: in prime time to start the season. We want that 35 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: game for later. They love that late afternoon window. That's 36 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 3: a very important window. You have to think about when 37 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: a network has an exclusive audience, right, Fox or CBS. 38 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 3: Every other Sunday they alternate, and they want to take 39 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: full advantage of that exclusive audience. It's almost always exclusive. 40 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 3: You might have another late afternoon game that sits in 41 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 3: there and gets overshadowed by the national game, like the 42 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: Texans and the Broncos. 43 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: That was going to be yes last year. 44 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: Overshadowed by a Fox game, but they moved it to 45 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 3: the one o'clock game where it would get more of 46 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 3: the nation most of it, as it turned out. So 47 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 3: these things figure in to the scheduling with the networks 48 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: of saying, hey, we need these games. And I don't 49 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 3: know what the process is, but there is a process. 50 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 3: There's some kind of protocol for them to follow to 51 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 3: ensure that or ussher that they have those marquee games 52 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: or enough of them anyway, and they deemed that one. 53 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 3: That's why Detroit at Kansas City was the opener. So 54 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 3: I thought, maybe this is a trend. They're going to 55 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: put a game that's not the game on opening night 56 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: because the Ravens are the Chiefs. From where we said, 57 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 3: right now, it's the game that's an AFC Championship game matchup, 58 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 3: and there's not a Super Bowl matchup possibility with the 59 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 3: Chiefs that Arrow had to open the season. 60 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised. 61 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 3: I was mildly intrigued, and I went down the road 62 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 3: of these networks having that much influence. 63 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: So that's where I ended up. 64 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't think they were playing against the Chiefs. 65 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: I just had a feeling it was going to Bengals 66 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 2: or Ravens. I just didn't think it was going to 67 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 2: be the Texas. I don't know what told me that. 68 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: I just felt like that wasn't gonna be. It wasn't 69 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: gonna be the situation that Texans had been in that 70 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: game before in twenty twenty. So there was a party 71 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 2: that was kind of like, I don't know, maybe I 72 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: have too much PTSD from that night for a number 73 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: of reasons. That's what it is, and I didn't want 74 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: to go back and do that again. Drew felt the 75 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 2: same way. 76 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: Drew felt like, oh my gosh PTSD on the opener 77 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 3: of the COVID season. 78 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: It's just brutal, absolute brutal. All right, great new sm 79 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: over runners. 80 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go Okay, there are now I preface all 81 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: of this by saying, well, we are about to talk 82 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: about for the next how many of a minutes is 83 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,839 Speaker 2: for fun, fun, But it's for it's fun to talk 84 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: about entertainment, entertainment purposes. 85 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: Campbell, Johnny only And I was in a master's pool 86 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: where you won nothing, yeah, only you get to say 87 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: you're the winner. 88 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: Really yeah, And it was great because who cares about 89 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: the massive. Yeah, but it was just for fun. 90 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: Who'd you have? Do you remember? 91 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: It was a group of guys. I didn't win, so there. 92 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: But we don't gamble, right, I don't gamble. 93 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: But there are a lot of people out there listening 94 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: that do. 95 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, so we just have to we have 96 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: to preface that that this is for fun. But it 97 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: is fun to talk about because I had this epiphany. 98 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: And I don't know why I had this epiphany. I 99 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: don't know when I had it. But we always go 100 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: through the exercise of trying to figure out what the 101 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: Texans schedule record is going to be no matter where 102 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: they play. 103 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: So I did this last year and I remember coming up. 104 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: With ten and seven and I thought, oh, that might 105 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: be a little rich, and I backed off to nine 106 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,799 Speaker 2: and eight. So I break the I break the Texans 107 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 2: total or win total into four areas AFC South, NFC North, 108 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: AFC East, and then the crossover games. Okay, so I 109 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: just split in a four see sections. Okay, all right, 110 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: here's what I've come up with. See if you agree 111 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 2: with me. Gets to AFC South six games, six games. 112 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: I have a four and two sweeping Tennessee splitting Indie 113 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 2: splitting Jacksonville. We were four and two last year, having 114 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: lost to Indianapolis at home, Jacksonville at home. We still 115 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 2: have this road division winning streak, which is crazy. We 116 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: still have that going on, which is like for three 117 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: years running. But I have this going four and two 118 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: in the AFC South. Okay, your instant thought to that. 119 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 3: My instant thought to that is I'm right with you. 120 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 3: If you ask me what's the record, I would say 121 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 3: four and two, five and one is a little rich 122 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 3: for me to predict anything less. I'm not happy predicting 123 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 3: that at alli and three in the division is. 124 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: Not going to cut it, correct. I mean sometimes it does. 125 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 3: In two thousand and nine, your first ever winning season, 126 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 3: the Texans were one and five in the division. 127 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: Yet when nine and seven somehow y yeah, yeah, I 128 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: remember that. I was like, this is weird. 129 00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: It was a weird year, and it was a really 130 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 3: good division of other years where wait, what was lovey? 131 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: Lovey was three and three or four and two? 132 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, three and three? Wait no, no, he was not 133 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: three and three. He was three two and one. Oh 134 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: that's right, Yeah, three two and one not bad because 135 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: they won all of the road games. 136 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: They're right, three two and one. That's right, tied at home. 137 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: So there it is. Our our conference. 138 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 2: Our division record has been very very good for whatever reason. 139 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: So four and two I felt, okay. 140 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 3: It was Colley Ulley was two wins over Jacksonville and 141 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: one against the Titans. 142 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: That's it. 143 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, three and three, three and three three in a year, 144 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: and you go four and thirteen. 145 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: So you got three wins. 146 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: Seventy five percent of your victories were in the division. Okay, 147 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: let's jump to the NFC North here, right, all right, 148 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 2: you face two teams starting rookie quarterbacks more than likely 149 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: Minnesota J. J. McCarthy Chicago, Caleb Williams. You go to 150 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 2: Green Bay and then you got a big one against Detroit. 151 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 4: Here. 152 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 3: I have us conservatively at two and two. I think 153 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: that's conservative, and that's about right. 154 00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 1: Okay. 155 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 3: Now I'm whole being for better, Johnny, I am to. 156 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 3: By the way, NFL memes is so unfair sometimes, but 157 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 3: I get it. It's funny because JJ McCarthy throwing wide 158 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 3: of an assistant coach in rookie camp, and you and 159 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: I were out there, we talked about it that you know, 160 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 3: you're throwing an air to nobody in a rookie camp 161 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 3: because you don't have enough bodies in there. So he 162 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: throws wide and they're like, Justin Jefferson wants to be traded. 163 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 3: It was awesome, the overreaction to anything. It's so fantastic. 164 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: Except when it involves me or my team, then stay away. 165 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 2: The Atlanta Falcons put one out, I think it was 166 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons put one out Michael Pennix and then 167 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: they had ah the dartboard and said dot. 168 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: The dude had to reach out with one hand.

Actually no, 200 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: they had winning both, winning both. 201 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: Okay, hitting the roads, yeah, because you're at the Jets 202 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 3: is going to be tough. 203 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: One of these is gonna be so. I don't know why. 204 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 2: The last few times we've gone to play New York, 205 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 2: even when we won an eighteen, it was tough. 206 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was tough. 207 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: It was Sam Darnold. Ye had to have a little 208 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: whether it's the Jets of the Giants, man playing a MetLife. 209 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: Yikes, we can't be either one of them. 210 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 4: We had one win. 211 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 3: There was a scheduled rumor there's this, well, they're numerous 212 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 3: scheduled Twitter accounts, x accounts, and one of them, I 213 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: forget the name of it. Florio called them out late 214 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 3: last week. But they had the Texans opening at the 215 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: Jets Sunday night football. 216 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: No way, that was their prediction. No, you don't think 217 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: there's any way, no way. 218 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: No way, that Sunday night game, that Sunday night game. 219 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 3: There, it's it's got to be the Dallas Giants Invitational. 220 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 2: It's like opening opening series of a game. You gotta 221 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: go on to score points however you get them feel 222 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 2: goal touch it. You gotta go on and get points 223 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: in a basketball game. You need a bucket get you 224 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 2: a good rating. 225 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: It does. 226 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 2: But I just think you're gonna go with old faithful 227 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: first Sunday Night. Yeah, now the second Sunday Night. You 228 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 2: could convince me. 229 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: So here's here's one. 230 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 3: And I just as an aside, if the Texans open 231 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 3: the season on Sunday night, what's it. 232 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: Most likely to be at Dallas? Would they get the 233 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 2: at Dallas game? Oh no, that would be or would CBS? 234 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: You know what? 235 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 3: I want that one in the afternoon. That's a late 236 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 3: afternoon window game. Yeah, I ever saw one, or a 237 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving or whatever else. 238 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 2: I feel like Thanksgiving is just the one that we 239 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 2: all want to pigeonhole it into. Peter Schrager had the 240 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 2: Ravens and the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, which. 241 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 3: More likely I could Texans not playing on Thanksgiving than 242 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 3: playing on Thanksgiving at Dallas. 243 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: If I had to rank them, I'd want Thanksgiving first 244 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 2: Sunday night to start the year. 245 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Michael Hearty's gonna be on a hot seat. 246 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: Let's do it. No, I want it at home. I 247 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: want I want to. I would like them. I would 248 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: like to start on Sunday. 249 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: Night football at home, at home, at home Buffalo. 250 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, it's gonna be fun now, I said. Opener 251 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: was Monday Night against the Jets. 252 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 3: So oh, I'll take the Ravens two days after they 253 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 3: take on the Chiefs that they come here. 254 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: Two days later. You're gonna play two. We're gonna play 255 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: game one. Oh man, I have some thoughts I spent 256 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: this weekend. I told you some of them. I spent 257 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: this weekend. I was flipping around the stations, couldn't find anything. 258 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 2: I get to NFL Network and they're playing They're replaying 259 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: the Divisional round playoff. 260 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: Game against the Ravens. 261 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: Yes, and I pick it up when it's ten to 262 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 2: ten and the Texans have the ball, and it's at 263 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 2: that and I just I put myself right back into 264 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: Baltimore at that moment. What was I thinking at that moment? 265 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: And we're moving it, I'm watching it, I'm we're moving it. 266 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: And it's just the number, the number of things that 267 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: happen from that point forward. 268 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: It just changed. 269 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: It changes everything in the game. And I've told you this, 270 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 2: and I've said this before in radio. I felt like 271 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: when we flew home from Baltimore, I didn't feel terrible 272 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: because I felt back as it was over, because I 273 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: loved that team. 274 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: I loved just everything I was going with it. I 275 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: wanted to go to an AFC championship game. 276 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 2: I thought we would have had a chance against the Chiefs, 277 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: but that in my my my heart of hearts, I 278 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 2: felt like Baltimore is better. I watched that sequence and went, man, 279 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 2: we had a shot, totally, we had a shot, and 280 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: we just and it was some things that you weren't 281 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: even thinking about. Some were pretty glaring, Like I know 282 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 2: Jalen would have had a tough interception on the one 283 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 2: in the end zone, but on the play before, it 284 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: was second and seven and he blitzes, jumps up and 285 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 2: the ball literally goes between his hands. 286 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: Now it's a tough cat. 287 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: It would have been a tough knocked down because he's 288 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 3: doing the proper thing. You want to get wide so 289 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 3: you can at least knock the ball down. Lamar right 290 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 3: through there, right through to target. It was ridiculous and 291 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 3: probably hit it up a falange or two and ends 292 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 3: up as a completion for U down. 293 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: Oh my god, for a first down. 294 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: Those could have shut up almost Actually, I wouldn't say 295 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: what it could have should have. 296 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: I would say those are tough plays to make, tough 297 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: place to make. If you're gonna win that game, you 298 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: gotta make it. You gotta make them that that pick 299 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: of the end zone. 300 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: I remember calling it and it's no, it's not because 301 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: he rolls over away from you. 302 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, And so I could see it and 303 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, No, that's how you're feeling when you're 304 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: watching it. It's there. No, it's then you're watching it 305 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh man, this was. 306 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: Closer than you you pick that ball off early second half, 307 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: who knows who changes? Uh? 308 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: So AFC East three and one. 309 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: Uh And I've got the Texans winning three of those games. Now, 310 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 2: I don't really a lot of times like set out 311 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: which teams are gonna beat, but I'd feel good about 312 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 2: knocking off the Bills at home, playing on a Sunday night. 313 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: You're all geared up, maybe you're wearing the color rush 314 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 2: and everybody's jacked up. I feel like the Dolphins are 315 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 2: still gonna have some issues with injuries depending on when 316 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 2: you face them. The other two edge guys still coming 317 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: off injury. And I think you'll beat New England and 318 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 2: New England. You are gonna have to overcome. You're gonna 319 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: have overcome a few things that I'll get to in 320 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 2: a little bit. One of them is your old for Gillett, Right, 321 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 2: you're O for Gillette. We talked about that a lot. Yeah, 322 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 2: so you gotta do that. So AFC East I went 323 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 2: with three and one. And then the crossover games. This 324 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 2: is the one that this is the toughest one. Crossover games. 325 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 2: You got three of them. You're at Dallas, your home 326 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: against Baltimore, and then you're at Kansas City. Now you 327 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: have never beaten Dallas. In Dallas, you have never beaten 328 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, and you've won one time since Patrick Mahomes 329 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: has been in Kansas City and faced them I think 330 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: five or six times, but that time was great. 331 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 3: It was twenty nineteen. I have it's going one and two, 332 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 3: one and two, okay, that's fair. All right, So you 333 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: have US three and one of the AFC East. You're 334 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: up to nine wins right there. 335 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: Ten seven is a final record. Ten and seven is 336 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: your record. That's why. That's why I'm going with them. 337 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: That's it. 338 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 3: I kind of all right. Here's what I want to 339 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 3: do when the schedule comes out. I like to look at, 340 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 3: you know, how the coaches and the organization looks at 341 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 3: the scheduling quarters. 342 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: You're seventeen. 343 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 2: Now you have more than one quarter in some situations, 344 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: depending on how you want to group them. 345 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: I like to look at the groups. 346 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 3: This looks like a two and two here, This looks 347 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 3: like a three and one or a one in three 348 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 3: right here? This whatever, and it never plays any way, 349 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 3: never never does, never does. Because last year is a 350 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 3: great example. You don't have CJ for two games. You 351 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 3: split and maybe you would have called that. Who knows. 352 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 3: But you go to the Jets with CJ. And you're thinking, well, 353 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 3: we got Zach Wilson, we're going a good year. Well 354 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 3: we're good Wilson out man, and we're gonna beat the 355 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 3: Jets that day. Didn't happen. 356 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: Didn't go that way. 357 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 3: So you have weird things happen all the time, Carolina. 358 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 3: This should not be much of a problem today, right wrong, 359 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 3: So you just never know. 360 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: I think ten. 361 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 3: See a lot of people assume you get right back 362 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 3: to ten, and then you get in the postseason take 363 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 3: it from there. 364 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: You think, here we go. 365 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 3: It's hard. It's gonna be hard to get ten. It's 366 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 3: gonna be hard to get ten. I will not make 367 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 3: an official prediction, but I endorse this message by you 368 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 3: of ten, and I'll take my chances with ten, because 369 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 3: I don't think anybody else in the AFC South is 370 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 3: gonna get you with ten. No, particularly if you go 371 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: four and two in the division. Here's the thing. To 372 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 3: get to ten and seven, you're gonna have to overcome 373 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 3: the following. You're oh for the franchise against Minnesota. True, 374 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 3: you are. 375 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: Oh for Gillette, True, oh for Lamar, You are oh 376 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: for Lamar and you are, oh for Jerry World, you're 377 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: over Jerry Woe or over Dallas. That's number one in Dallas. 378 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: But you've beaten them. You've never beaten the Vikings than anything. 379 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 2: You never beat the Vikings ever, never beaten. You've beaten 380 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: the Patriots a couple times, but it's always been here. 381 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 2: So you're gonna have to overcome someone. 382 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: None of that. 383 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 3: But Patriots don't have Tom Brady. The Vikings have a 384 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 3: rookie quarterback. We have CJ. 385 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: Strouded to make over. So I agree, But overcoming history, 386 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: I think about it. 387 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 2: I mean, think about how many times to talk about 388 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 2: how many times we went to Indianapolis. We're playing dan 389 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 2: Oldlafsky on a Thursday night with a team that's going 390 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 2: to the playoffs, and we can't beat them. 391 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: You're preaching of. 392 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 3: The choir behinds, but beating them week eighteen last year, 393 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 3: I felt that lifted a lot, all right, That knocked 394 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 3: the horseshoe off the wall. 395 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: And now we begin again. 396 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: So how does that city out west, that city out 397 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 2: west where you can do some things that people like 398 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 2: to do. 399 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: They like to gamble. What do they think of it? 400 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 2: There are three that already have over underlines on the 401 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: entire league out. 402 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: Really all right? 403 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 2: So at ten and seven are the Texans over the 404 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: number or under the number over they are? 405 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: The number for the Texans. 406 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 2: Is nine and a half on all three, all three, 407 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 2: all three are showing nine and a half. 408 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. 409 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 3: If I was them, I would do it too, I 410 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 3: think so I would do it like that because ten 411 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 3: is too much. Ten and a half too much? Okay, 412 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 3: all the money will come in on the under. Nine 413 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 3: and a half, makes you think, and that's how you 414 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 3: have to think of it. 415 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 2: These There'll be a lot of money coming on the youonder, 416 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 2: because the under is actually the underdog, so it'll be 417 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 2: it'll not my much, but it's it's going to come 418 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 2: on the other. Now, there are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 419 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: eight teams that have a higher over under. 420 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: Okay, oh okay, you ready? 421 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: Chiefs, the Ravens, Can I guess them? 422 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:26,959 Speaker 4: Yeah? 423 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 3: Chiefs Ravens, Cowboys, Yes, Chiefs eleven and a half. Still 424 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 3: have confidence in the Cowboys. Cowboys. What is the Cowboys number? 425 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: I'm getting there, Chiefs eleven and a half, Ravens eleven 426 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 2: and a half, Cowboys ten and a half. 427 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 3: Well, they've won twelve games, what three years in a round. Now, yeah, 428 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 3: that's been over the last couple of years. 429 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: But the losses they've taken and the division, I never 430 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: mind about the division. But yeah, never mind about the division. 431 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 2: I think that's actually helping them in this situation. So 432 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 2: as I say that, I take that back. There's one 433 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 2: other team at eleven and a half, an FC San Francisco. Yeah, 434 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 2: so three teams have eleven and a half, Chiefs forty 435 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 2: nine ers, Ravens. 436 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: Then this one's a little rich. I don't know, I 437 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: don't know. 438 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get it. I've heard people talk about this team. 439 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: Oh they're gonna bounce back, and I think they will 440 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 2: because Joe Burrow is a quarterback. But the Bengals are 441 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 2: ten and a half across the board all three. The 442 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 2: Eagles are ten and a half across the board for 443 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 2: all three, The Lions are ten and a half across 444 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: the board for all three, The Cowboys are ten and 445 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 2: a half, and the Buffalo Bills are ten and a 446 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 2: half across the board. 447 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: What yes, that's ten and a half across the board. 448 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 3: That first of all, right, I have a beef with 449 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 3: Buffalo and with Detroit. Okay, And by the way, if 450 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 3: Detroit is ten and a half, if that's accurate, I 451 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 3: really like our chances in that NFC North, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah. 452 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 3: You have Detroit here in Green Bay there, you have 453 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 3: Minnesota there, you have Chicago here, yep, And I get it. 454 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 3: They're looking at Minnesota and Chicago is not a factor, 455 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 3: and that's fair. I think Minnesota could be decent. So 456 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: the lines on those you said it, two of the 457 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 3: four teams in the division are starting rookie quarterbacks. Now, 458 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 3: what happened last year in the AFC South You had 459 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: Minshew filling in for a would be rookie starter. You 460 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 3: had Stroud here, and you had Will Levis playing a 461 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 3: big chunk of the season in Tennessee, and you had 462 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 3: generational talent Trevor Laret. 463 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: Never mind, So. 464 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 2: The Packers, what are they are nine and a half 465 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 2: on two of them and ten and a half on 466 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 2: one of them. Now that ten and a half, it's 467 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 2: a heavy underdog, but they're ten and a half. Other 468 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 2: teams are nine and a half with the Texans now, 469 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 2: Texas are nine and a half across all three. The 470 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 2: Dolphins are nine and a half across all three. Get 471 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 2: ready for this, ye, the Atlanta Falcons are nine and 472 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: a half across all three. 473 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 3: You know, Look, they won a bunch of games without 474 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 3: Kirk by the way, well never mind, we don't think 475 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 3: it into penix again right now. But the Falcons are 476 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 3: what nine and a half and a half? I get 477 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,239 Speaker 3: it in that division, all right? 478 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: Who else? 479 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: The New York Football Jets are nine and a half. 480 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 3: I understand that they won seven games without Aaron Rodgers. 481 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 3: They get him back and he should be decent. You 482 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 3: should win two and a half more two and a 483 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 3: half games every about half a win. 484 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 2: Everybody else is under under nine and a half. Teams 485 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 2: of Texas play the Bears eight. 486 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: And a half? 487 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 3: How well they want seven? They have Caleb Williams, but 488 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 3: Fields keeps things alive. You could say what you want 489 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 3: about Fields, about future kick returner justin Field, you could 490 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 3: say what you want about him, but he does have 491 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 3: a hand in those seven wins. 492 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's no doubt. 493 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 2: I don't see that in the division. Yeah, Jacksonville Jaguars, 494 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 2: what do you think? Wait a minute, let me go back. 495 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 2: You said the eight and a half, eight and a half. 496 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 2: That's crazy. I'd take that under all day long. If 497 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 2: I was a gambling man and I'm not, Jaguars, they 498 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: got to be at least eight and a half and 499 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 2: a half eight and a half across the board. 500 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: What are the Colts. 501 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 2: Eight and a half eight and a half, Yes, Jags, 502 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 2: Colts both eight and a half. 503 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 3: The AFC South gets disrespected, and the Titans, I'll go 504 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 3: five and a half, six and a half. 505 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: Six and a half, six and a half. 506 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 2: They're right there with the Commanders at six and a half, 507 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 2: the Giants at six and a half. The three worst 508 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 2: teams in the league according to Vegas. The Broncos are 509 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 2: five and a half, the Patriots are two of them 510 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 2: at four and a half, one at five and a half, 511 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 2: and the Panthers are the same, two at four and 512 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 2: a half, one at five and a half. 513 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 3: So if you add up all these numbers, does it 514 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 3: add up to the total number of wins? 515 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 2: I don't think so does. I don't think it works. No, 516 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 2: I don't think that's the win at Vegas. I know 517 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 2: the halves won't add up. You just took the halves 518 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: off and just added it up. Yeah, so that calculate 519 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 2: What stood out to me was just okay, how many teams? 520 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: How many teams above the Texans, so you know above 521 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 2: so ten and a half are higher that they faced, Chiefs, Ravens, Lions, Cowboys, Bills. 522 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 2: They have five teams above them, now, none of them 523 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: that to play twice. No division teams. All division teams 524 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: are lower than they are. But they've got those five games. 525 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: What about the even ones Jets, Jets, Dolphins, Dolphins, Packers. 526 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: The Packers are even ten and a half in some places. 527 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: And I'd love to play some of these four and 528 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: a half's here. 529 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Well we'll get We'll see what do we 530 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 2: get of these we get we get Patriots on the road, 531 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: you get the Titans at five, gets the Titans twice, 532 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: they're at six and a half, the Vikings one, seven 533 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: and a half, two, six and a half. 534 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: But you got to go up there. That's the thing. 535 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 2: The teams that you would that are not as good 536 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: as the others, lay them on the road. You gotta 537 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 2: play them on the road. Yeah, so you gotta get 538 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 2: you gotta get ready to play. Here's the other thing 539 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 2: with the NFC North that I thought about. We have 540 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 2: not had a winning record against the NFC North ever 541 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: for fifteen or no, I'm sorry again. We have not 542 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: had a winning record against the NFC in fifteen years. 543 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 3: All right, So in any against any NFC division, any 544 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 3: and yeah, any NFC division, we have not been better 545 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 3: than two and two. 546 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: Well, last year you had New Orleans, Tampa. 547 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 2: Beat New Orleans, we beat Tampa Bay, we lost to Carolina, 548 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 2: we lost Atlanta. 549 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: Geez, you're right now. We did beat Arizona, so it's 550 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: three and two. 551 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 2: But technically in the division that we're playing, we've not 552 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 2: been better than we've been three to one or better 553 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 2: since two thousand and eight. 554 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: I believe it is. 555 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 3: I mean, it's funny, Johnny. You go back to the 556 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 3: inaugural season, the Texans were two and two against the 557 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 3: NFC East because they beat the Cowboys open at night. 558 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 3: They bat the Giants later on that year, right, playoffs, I. 559 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: Mean, it's two and two, like two and two last year. 560 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously there are years where we weren't even 561 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 2: two and two, one and three, but we had I 562 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 2: think it's two thousand and eight. 563 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: That was the year. 564 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 2: I think I did the math in my head one 565 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 2: night as I was trying to sleep, and that kind 566 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 2: of got me back to South. 567 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: It was Green Bay. 568 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 2: You beat them, You beat Detroit, I think, and Chicago, 569 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 2: and you beat Chicago. 570 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 1: Because I remember the roof was open. 571 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 3: That was a hurricane regular season finale. Yeah, the roof 572 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 3: was open for a huge chunk of the season, actually 573 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 3: from week two on because of Hurricane Ike. 574 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I came through. 575 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 3: Nobody minded the roof being open because everyone accepted it 576 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 3: like a right. I guess the roof's open because it's 577 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 3: a damaged situation. 578 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: Now, it was two thousand and eight. It was fifteen years, 579 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: so two thousand and nine. 580 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: So two thousand and nine we beat Seattle, beat Seattle, 581 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 2: the Rams and the Rams, and. 582 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,479 Speaker 1: Also beat the forty nine ers. I forgot about that. 583 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 2: Oh there is yes, So so fifteen years, it's been 584 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 2: fifteen years since we have been three and one. 585 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: Were better better than five hundred sitary coaching. 586 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: Then with Alex Smith throwing three touchdown passes in the 587 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: second half, I think I think all three went to 588 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 2: Vernon Davis. 589 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: If I'm not, oh, I think you're right.

Nobody else knew me as 673 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: Little Onion. 674 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 2: But whenever I got around his college friends, they'd always 675 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: make me do things as little Onion. So K three's 676 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 2: a lot better than that. But uh, you know, you 677 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 2: kind of get the point about nicknames. 678 00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: Okay, choose the C word. Culture. 679 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, culture is award that comes up a lot talking 680 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 2: about the Texas now. What it used to be, don't 681 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 2: talk too much about it anymore, but what it is 682 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 2: now we talk about a lot. Here's what Kamari has 683 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 2: sensed since he has been here about the Texans culture. 684 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 5: This is a high culture program as well. You know, 685 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 5: the standard is the standard here. You got a bunch 686 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 5: of guys who want to get better, a bunch of 687 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 5: guys who had the right mentality, the right mindset, and 688 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 5: a group of guys who just really just want to win. 689 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 2: Kamari drafted on Friday night, Day two of the draft, 690 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 2: number forty two overall. Number fifty nine was Blake Fisher. 691 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 2: We'll talk to him in a little bit, but at 692 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 2: pick seventy eight. I believe it was because it was 693 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 2: eighty six and they moved up to seventy eight. Kaylen 694 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 2: Bullock randomly, do you know Kaylen Bullock Kamari Lasser, And yeah, 695 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 2: they did. They actually had a chance to hang out 696 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 2: last summer. Here's what Kamara Laster had to say about 697 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 2: fellow secondary rookie mate Kaylen Bullock. 698 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 5: Me and CB we we kind of met. I think 699 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 5: it was last summer. We were down in Miami. It 700 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 5: was just having a little bit off time and we 701 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 5: kind of met. We we didn't really know each other 702 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 5: at first, and I just knew he went to USC I. 703 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 4: Went to Georgia. 704 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 5: I knew he was good at football, knew I was good. 705 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 5: But we kind of, like, you know, just chopped it 706 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 5: up a little bit. And then fast forward all the 707 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 5: way to you know, draft night, and we both get 708 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 5: drafted to the same team, and that just kind of 709 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 5: played over into here and so we just been kind 710 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 5: of getting little bit closer, and I feel like we're 711 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 5: gonna end up being real close by the by the 712 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 5: time they said and all said and done. 713 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: Friday was the first day out of the grass for 714 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 2: the DBS, and I mention on Friday and kind of 715 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 2: one of the observations it really couldn't outfit a whole 716 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 2: rookie squad or young players squad. Now in the past 717 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 2: they've been able to do that, and they could go 718 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 2: eleven on eleven, and in some cases it turns into 719 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 2: a cluster, you know what, because guys don't know what 720 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 2: they're doing. They're kind of all over the place them 721 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 2: the ball snap, guys just revert right back to whatever 722 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,239 Speaker 2: they were doing in college or college technique and all 723 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. And so it almost was better 724 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 2: in that it was just periods of teaching. The entire 725 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 2: hour that we were out there, it. 726 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: Was just periods of teaching. That was it. 727 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 2: Position guys learning their particular positions. I mean, they had 728 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 2: two running backs, they had a tryout quarterback. They had 729 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 2: two wide receivers, the twins Jaden and Jackson Yankee, so 730 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 2: they have many and they had one safety, one corner 731 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 2: Kamari and Kaitlin. 732 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: That was it. But they're eventually. 733 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 2: Gonna meet, work out and play alongside the veterans of 734 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 2: this team. So Kamara was asked, Hey, you had a 735 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 2: chance to meet him, talk to him. What do you 736 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 2: think about what's already here in Houston? 737 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 5: I taught the sting whenever I first got drafted. I 738 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 5: just got in yesterday, so a lot of those guys 739 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 5: were kind of getting out whenever I was coming in. 740 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 5: But I'm trying to shut it out with those guys 741 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 5: real soon. 742 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 4: It was just like, let's get the work now. 743 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 2: If you know stang you know that's probably three words 744 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 2: more than he's ever wanted to say. Sting don't say 745 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 2: a whole lot, but he speaks with his play. But 746 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 2: I can't wait to see those guys get together because 747 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 2: one of the things that if you watch closely and 748 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 2: you pay attention closely enough, you realize that Derek Stingley 749 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 2: is one of the smarter defensive backs, not only in 750 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 2: Huge in the past, but just in the league. I 751 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 2: mean the way that he is able to read routes, 752 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,719 Speaker 2: make plays on the ball where he's not even supposed 753 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 2: to be. 754 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: At half the time, he is so incredibly smart. 755 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 2: So that intelligence is gonna pay off with these younger guys, 756 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 2: in particular Kamari Laster. Now Kamaria was asked, are you 757 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 2: gonna play inside and outside? I loved his answer. Players 758 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,479 Speaker 2: always get asked this, young players, and I'll be honest, 759 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 2: they really don't have a clue and they're not really 760 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 2: sure how to answer it. 761 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: I think Kamara answered this perfectly. 762 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 5: Play I play football, I play defense wherever they put 763 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 5: me at it, no matter, you know, I'm gonna do 764 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 5: it the best my ability. 765 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 2: Bingo, good answer, young buck.

Nico Collins, Tank Dell hopefully, 772 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 2: I don't know what see if Tank, you know, obviously 773 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 2: rehabbing from his gunshot wounds from a few weeks ago. 774 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, Xavier Hutchinson. 775 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 2: John Metchi and many many more pass catchers, Robert Woods, 776 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, it's a wide ranging 777 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 2: group of vets.

Now, young man, is from 788 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 2: south that's one thing, but when you're from Houston, weather 789 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 2: takes on a whole different animal. And on Friday, man, 790 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 2: it was humid. It was windy, but it was humid. 791 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 2: Kamari noticed for sure. 792 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 5: Man, So I looked at the weather before I got 793 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 5: out of practice and just said eighty degree. 794 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 4: So I was like, okay, Ben, it's only eighty. 795 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 5: And I walked out on the field and I was practicing. 796 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 5: I'm like, this is not eighty, Like this is like 797 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 5: ninety something else.

That's really the only time 828 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 2: they're they're able to get them outside of some select times. 829 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 2: So I kind of we kind of stay out of 830 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 2: the mets.

I totally understand why 834 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 2: Kamari Laster is a textan. You hear these answers. You 835 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 2: hear the maturity, You hear the edge in his voice, though, 836 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 2: and that resonates. So it's like, you got a guy 837 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 2: with some edge, but you got a guy that's polished, young, 838 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 2: and yet he acts like a veteran. You listen to him, 839 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 2: and he's got answers to questions that you know, I 840 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 2: don't want to say people are trying to tell, you know, 841 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 2: send gotcha questions at him, but he's handled it. 842 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 1: Hey, what's receiver do you want to face? 843 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 2: You know that's gonna be a tweet from somebody, Oh, 844 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 2: Kamari Laster says he wants to face Stefan Diggs. 845 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 1: No, you just say I want to see all of them. Man, 846 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 1: I'm really excited about seeing this group of receivers. 847 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,839 Speaker 2: I just you saw the mature I could see why 848 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 2: in a thirty visit or a Combine visit that you 849 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 2: fall in love with the guy. Like man, I love 850 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 2: the way this guy balls. I love his response to 851 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 2: answers to questions. I love his answers about things. I 852 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 2: love the fact he played in the in the Orange Bowl. 853 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 2: It's incredible. So when Blake Fisher strode to the podium 854 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 2: and started answering questions, had kind of the same reaction. 855 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 2: So polished, so smart, humble. I always want to say 856 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 2: humble because we're in Houston, but humble guy just everything 857 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 2: that you want in a draft. Pick a guy ready 858 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,720 Speaker 2: to work, let's go, let's do this, doesn't worry about anything, 859 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 2: just playing ball. And I think that is it's the coolest. 860 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 2: And so Blake was asked a number of questions, and 861 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 2: first of all, he was asked about the heat. 862 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to get used to it, no doubt 863 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: about that. 864 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 4: It was it wasn't like too hot. 865 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 6: They say, it gets hotter, so we gotta you know, 866 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 6: just keep pushing through it. 867 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,280 Speaker 1: It's all you can do, young Buck. You just pushed 868 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: through it and eventually you'll get there. One of my 869 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: favorites over the years with CJ. Fedor, which when he 870 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,720 Speaker 1: was first drafted, I just remember look. 871 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 2: In his eyes at OTAs like this is hot. 872 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: And then I could to see people talk to him like, hey, man, 873 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: it gets hotter. 874 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 2: He gets a lot hotter, and eventually you know, to 875 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 2: pride in the fact that he can make their practice. 876 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: And it wasn't too bad. He got used to it. 877 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 2: But man, the first few days and that was in 878 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 2: May and OTAs, man, oh it was. 879 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: It was no doubt tough, all right, Blake Fisher. 880 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 2: It's a I don't want to say it's a weird 881 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 2: spot that he's in, but in some sense it kind 882 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 2: of is. Because if Titus Howard and Larmer Tuns will 883 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 2: stay healthy and play at the the level of expectation, 884 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,879 Speaker 2: Blake probably isn't gonna see the field, I. 885 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 1: Don't think, but you never know. So what's Blake's expectation 886 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: for the season. 887 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 6: I think just you know, just coming in just gaining 888 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 6: the respect and the trust and the dependability of my teammates, 889 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 6: and then you know from there, just learning from uh, 890 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 6: you know, Titus and Laramie, you know, and the guys 891 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 6: within you know, within the guard Center, Guard Center guard 892 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 6: and then obviously coaches. 893 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 2: Blake Fisher playing at Notre Dame, if you didn't know, 894 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 2: expectations of the Irish are always very very high, Kamari 895 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 2: said earlier. Standard is the standard, basically saying, yeah, you 896 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 2: said it, and you try and reach it in top 897 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 2: it every single day and you keep doing that and 898 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 2: that's the standard that that's the way you have to 899 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 2: go about things. So Blake Fisher was asked, how does 900 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 2: Notre Dame compare to being here with the Houston Texans. 901 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 6: Notre Dame what we taught was competitive spirit and challenge everything, 902 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 6: and that just meant, you know, competitive. Obviously, we had 903 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 6: a lot of competitors and that's all it is here. 904 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 6: I mean, you're going against the best every day, so 905 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 6: obviously everybody's competing and you know, challenging everything is you know, 906 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 6: something that they they harp on here in their own way, 907 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 6: and that's just you know, challenging to get better, finding 908 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,240 Speaker 6: ways to get better, finding and finding ways to improve 909 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 6: and to elevate you know who you are as a 910 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 6: player and a person. 911 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 2: Of course, you're playing this offense as an offensive lineman. 912 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: You've got one job. I mean, you got plenty of jobs. 913 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 1: You have one like major job, and that is to 914 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,240 Speaker 1: protect the franchise number seven c J. Stroud. 915 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 2: So Blake was asked, Hey, how's it feel to be 916 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 2: blocking for CJ. Stroud and keeping him clean? 917 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 6: I mean, you have a quarterback of caliber like CJ. 918 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 6: And super excited, you know what I mean. It's it 919 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 6: makes you want to, you know, keep him up right, 920 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 6: you know more just seeing you can see him, you know, 921 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 6: be productive and see his success. And then you see 922 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 6: everybody else like the whole you know, big old coming 923 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 6: and you know everybody's having fun. So you know it's exciting, 924 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 6: you know, to be able to have that opportunity. Now, 925 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 6: it's just you know, be able to go to work 926 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 6: to put myself in a position to block for him. 927 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 2: Well, of the great things for a young guy coming 928 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 2: into the league is to learn from the Vets and 929 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 2: Titus Howard and Larry Tunsill at eat it all. Basically, 930 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 2: Titus not always a tackle, but hopefully that's the way 931 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,760 Speaker 2: it goes from here on out. But Titus and Laramie, 932 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 2: what does that mean to Blake to be walking into 933 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 2: a room with such grizzled vets like those two. 934 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 6: Larimie, everybody knows him, he's a specialist when it comes 935 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 6: to past recession. He's dominant, he's long, he's physical. You know, 936 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,720 Speaker 6: same goes for Titus, real powerful, strong, strong hands square. 937 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 6: You know in both of their sets, they have a 938 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,280 Speaker 6: versatility at different sets that they take you know, within 939 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 6: their game. Uh, smart players, you know, they help others 940 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 6: around them, so they're they're good. The two really good guys. 941 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 6: You know that I can come in and learn from 942 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,439 Speaker 6: and you know, you know, obviously get better from because 943 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:40,959 Speaker 6: they've been you know, doing it for you know, quite 944 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:41,359 Speaker 6: some time. 945 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 2: All Right, there's Texans Audio Jukeebix for Little Kamara Lasster 946 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 2: and Blake Fisher.

Which also here which I didn't even realize 955 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 2: is contract season. Wow, did not see this coming to day. 956 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 2: We had two big, massive signings today. One is in 957 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 2: Tampa where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had franchised one Antoine 958 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 2: Winfield Junior. And that made me very very very sad 959 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 2: because I want Antoine Winfield Junior to. 960 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:46,240 Speaker 1: Be a Texan. But it didn't happen. 961 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,879 Speaker 2: Not only that they franchised him and then they paid 962 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 2: him the largest contract ever paid to a defensive back, 963 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 2: four years, eighty four million dollars. Antoine Winfield gets big bag, 964 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:07,359 Speaker 2: big case to be the defensive stalwart he's been. I 965 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 2: love the guy, absolutely love Antoine Winfield Junior. I think 966 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 2: he fits the Bucks extremely well. He's got a ring 967 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 2: from his rookie year twenty twenty. Gets the big bag 968 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 2: four years, eighty four million dollars. 969 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: That's big news. 970 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 2: Also getting a big bag today was the guy that 971 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 2: was basically thrown into trash like he was a newspaper, 972 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 2: because that's newspaper's just going to trash. 973 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: Now, nobody looks at a newspaper. You get the point. 974 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 2: He was discarded, left for dead. He was traded, along 975 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 2: with two first round draft picks to Detroit. Jared Goff 976 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 2: today signed a contract wait for it, four years, two 977 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 2: hundred twelve million dollars. I'll do the math for you. 978 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 2: That's fifty threepy. That's enormous. Now when you consider that 979 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,800 Speaker 2: the Lions already extended I'm on ras Saint Brown four years, 980 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,839 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty million, Penne Sewell four years one 981 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 2: hundred and twelve million. They are investing in players. I 982 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 2: wouldn't say that. I don't know if you would say 983 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 2: homegrown players because Goff is not that. But they're investing 984 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 2: in their core players. That is pretty impressive. Jared Goff. 985 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 2: That's more money than any Detroit Lion in history, and 986 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 2: he was forgotten about. I I love Jared Goff. I 987 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 2: love what he stands for. The fact that he left 988 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 2: LA and went to Detroit. I thought, just he's a 989 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 2: throw in. They'll draft a bridge quarterback. Now Jared Goff 990 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,760 Speaker 2: is one of the top ten quarterbacks in the league. 991 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,280 Speaker 2: And when you pay a guy four years two hundred 992 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 2: twelve million. Yeah, you're basically putting your money where your 993 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 2: mouth is and where my mouth is, because that's a. 994 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 1: Lot of money. You know, you're not paying four years, 995 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: two hundred twelve million dollars to a bridge quarterback. That 996 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: dude is getting it done. And the Texans will see 997 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 1: Jared Goff at. 998 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 2: Some point in the twenty twenty four season at least 999 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 2: if he stays healthy. Now that two hundred twelve million 1000 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 2: dollar contract comes with one hundred and seventy million dollars guaranteed. 1001 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 2: Now it's a little pressure, but I think Jared Goff 1002 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 2: has dealt with that pressure, there's no question. One other 1003 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 2: sign that took place today Tyler Boyd to the Tennessee Titans. 1004 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 2: Now that was a guy that I thought Texans could 1005 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:39,919 Speaker 2: potentially take a look at. 1006 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: Then they went out and got Stephan Diggs. I'm like, no, no, 1007 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. 1008 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:48,800 Speaker 2: But the Titans add Tyler Boyd as was expected because 1009 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 2: Brian Callahan. So at that point, Brian Callahan goes out 1010 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 2: gets his guy from Cincinnati, Tyler Boyd. I don't think 1011 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 2: the Titans trio is as good as the Texas, but. 1012 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: It's pretty aren't good. It's pretty good. 1013 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 4: Now. 1014 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier the teas the Chiefs will not play 1015 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,240 Speaker 2: the Texans in the opener. They will play the Arrowhead 1016 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 2: at some point. They just won't play the Texans because 1017 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 2: they are playing the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore Ravens Kansas City 1018 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 2: Chiefs September fifth at Arrowhead that opens the season. September 1019 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 2: sixth is the first game in Brazil the Eagles and Packers, 1020 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 2: and that's how the season will kick off. And then 1021 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 2: on that Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys are gonna face the 1022 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. And why is that important of the fact 1023 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 2: that Texans wan did to play the Cowboys. Hopefully it's 1024 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 2: for Thanksgiving, we'll see.
