1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: Zap and everybody.

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 2: Welcome to a Monday edition of Texans All Access from

3
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 2: the Hounday Texans Radio Studio. Sorry, I am not more

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: energetic this evening, as yesterday was a real gut punch

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: down in North Florida's Texans lose to the Jaguar seventeen ten,

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: a game that after Jalen Petrees interception Nico Collins touchdown

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: in the fourth and two stop. I felt like this

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: one is a Texans win. They will have found a

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: way to get one. But it didn't happen. Texans fall

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: to oh to three for the first time since twenty twenty.

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: Also happened in twenty eighteen. Now, the twenty eighteen team

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: went on to win the AFC South and did it

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: rather convincingly, going eleven and five. In twenty eighteen, would

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: have gone twelve and four had they been able to

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: hang on to a lead late against Philadelphia. Oh man,

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: what a game that was many many eons ago. This

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: team owned three. What will it do well? Its first

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: matter of response has got to take place on Sunday

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: against the Tennessee Titans. All Right, a little bit of

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: Texans news today. The NFL has removed Texans safety Jimmy

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: Ward from the Commissioner's exempt list after a Montgomery County

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: grand jury declined to indict him or no build on

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: family violence charges. The league announced he will then move

24
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: over to the reserve list slash pup. Now, going back

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs game, the regular season game on that Saturday,

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: that's when Jimmy was injured Injuri's foot. Now that was

27
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: in December, so we are now in late September, mid

28
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: to late September. We don't know what that injury means.

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: Now now we're.

30
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: Looking at it as okay, now he's on the pup list,

31
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: So could he be ready to go after this fourth

32
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: week of the season, because you got to sit out

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: four weeks.

34
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: So I don't know what this all means.

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: I'll just I'll be brutally honest from that standpoint, other

36
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: than he could be brought back to the roster after

37
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 2: these initial four games and the fourth game is gonna

38
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: end up being this Tennessee Titans one. We'll see what

39
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: this means. But Jimmy Ward moving over from the Commissioner's

40
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: exempt list after the Montgomery County granduated declined to indite him.

41
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: He then moves over to the reserve pup list and

42
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: then it obviously, as we said this before too, even

43
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: with everything that was going on legally, we Mark and

44
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: I kept reiterating, we don't know where he's physically, We

45
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: don't know where that stands. So we'll see what this

46
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: means for Jimmy Ward going forward. Know that he won't

47
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: be able to play against the Tennessee Titans being on

48
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: the pup list, but we'll see where he's able to

49
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: get on the roster if at any point for the

50
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: Texans this year. That pretty decent, decent sized piece of

51
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: Texans news, and it's man, I just thought about this

52
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: as I was thinking about the Texans and the news lately.

53
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: Obviously losing you go to Owen three, you had the

54
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: Mariners come into town and sweep Dashtros, and then today

55
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: it was announced that Fred van Vliet towards ACL.

56
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: Like god, dang.

57
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: I kept thinking, all right, Ashros and Texans kicking a

58
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: junk right the rockets, Okay, no, Fred van Vliet torn ACL.

59
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Good God.

60
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what we did lately, but that's a

61
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: big kick in the schnuts if you will, So don't

62
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: don't love it at all for any of our teams

63
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: here in Houston at this particular moment. Now all teams

64
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: can respond. Astros can win out get themselves in the playoffs.

65
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: Texans can start getting back on the winning track with

66
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: win over the Titans this weekend. And obviously the Rockets

67
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: have plenty of time to kind of start making some

68
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: moves to get guys in the right spot. Still got

69
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: a very talented team with Kevin Durant this year, but

70
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: gonna be tough without Fred Van Vliet. But they've got

71
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: time to get it right. So there's your kind of

72
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: Houston sports news, if you will. All right, it's guitar

73
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: buddy Andre. Where we had a good time talking with Andre,

74
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: as we always do. Plenty of things to consider here.

75
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: As we threw a ton of questions that Andre answered

76
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: some of them ourselves.

77
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Here's Andre with market myself.

78
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: Dre, you tell me what is the prevailing thought that

79
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 3: you have that stays with you following that performance at Jacksonville.

80
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 4: I guess the first thought I have is this, you know,

81
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 4: frustration without the inability to move the ball when you

82
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: have to, when a game is sitting right there in

83
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 4: the palm of your hands, the opponents asking you to

84
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 4: go take it and you just can't go take it.

85
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 4: So that's the frustration for me is that, you know,

86
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 4: you the consistency on offense is just not there, and

87
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: I think everyone is playing a tad bit slower because

88
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: of the newness of the offense. When you change things

89
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 4: and the terminology, it's obviously going to slow down the

90
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 4: quarterback and how he's been developed under one system, so

91
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 4: he's struggling with some things and some issues, and then

92
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: the receivers trying to be on the same page with

93
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: the quarterback is at the right route against this defense

94
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 4: and when you think your way. Ninety percent of this

95
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 4: game is mental. The other ten percent is physical, especially

96
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: when you get to this level of level of play,

97
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: and when you slow that down between the ears physically,

98
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 4: you can't be at your best.

99
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: Dre we were just talking in the break.

100
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: I don't think it's anything that we don't talk about

101
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: in the breaks of the game.

102
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on CJ right now?

103
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: I know you kind of alluded to some of it

104
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: right there, but specific to CJ right now, what are

105
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,559
Speaker 2: your thoughts about his growth in this offense, his growth

106
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: as a quarterback. You know he had a couple opportunities

107
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: there at the end of the game. You know, Mark

108
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: and I were watching the film again to see on

109
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: that last throw that gets tipped, did he have something

110
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: he did he had Kirk that possibly could have been

111
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: in the end zone for a touchdown, which would have

112
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: been an amazing comeback with.

113
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: The way that they had played.

114
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts just about CJ right now, year three,

115
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: three games in leading this offense.

116
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts overall about the situation.

117
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 4: I don't know this to be true, but I can

118
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 4: only go by what I see and body language. He's

119
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 4: extremely frustrated, extremely frustrated to the point where he wants

120
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 4: to let it out, but he knows the best thing

121
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 4: to do is keep it under wraps. And you know,

122
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 4: you you've we've all been there where you're you've been

123
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: in a situation where you just you just want to

124
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 4: scream it out and get it out of your system,

125
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: so to speak. And you see it, whether it's the

126
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: past protection, whether it's play calling, whether it's not being

127
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 4: on the same page with receivers. He is frustrated, and

128
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 4: you see it. I've been there when you know things

129
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 4: are going on around you or things are being called

130
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 4: for you in a game. I'll just be honest, and

131
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 4: you don't agree with it or like it. That is

132
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: a frustrating place to be as a quarterback, and I

133
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 4: see it in his body language. And if that's the

134
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 4: not the case, he's certainly starting to show exactly that

135
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 4: the frustrations at times. And that's my concern because you've

136
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 4: got to have him in a good place mentally physically

137
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: he's you know, he's going to be right and ready,

138
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: but it's it's all between the ears when you reach

139
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 4: game day for a quarterback and you can't be frustrated.

140
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: You can't run things that you don't really feel one

141
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: hundred percent common. Put an end and you see it.

142
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: I mean I can't really describe it. I just notice it.

143
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: I know it because I've been there, and it's a

144
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 4: frustrating place to be.

145
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: With what you have to work with right now, dre.

146
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: So you know certain people or other players are not

147
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: walking through that door.

148
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 5: Right?

149
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: You got what you got? Hurry up, offense more?

150
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: What do you recommend here to make life a little

151
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: bit easier for him?

152
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: We talked about that.

153
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: The UPTEPO stuff seems to be agreeable, seems to be effective.

154
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: You can't do it all the time. But what are

155
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: you thinking in general here, Drake?

156
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 4: I think you scale it back a little bit and

157
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 4: you figure out what the entire offense can run and

158
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 4: run well, you start there as well. I would, because

159
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 4: scaling the back is kind of going some no huddle

160
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: where you're just at the line of scrimmage, you're in

161
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 4: a formation, and then you're in attack mode. That seemed

162
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 4: to be the best way that they could move the football.

163
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 4: There were times when I thought they should do it,

164
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 4: they didn't do it, and there were times when they

165
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 4: did it that I felt like they shouldn't do it.

166
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 4: And so everybody's kind of got to get on the

167
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 4: same page in that regard, because you're right there is

168
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 4: there's no you know, Pro Bowl five Pro bowlers coming

169
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 4: for the offensive line and a couple of extra receivers

170
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 4: to throw in there with Nico. It's what you have

171
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: going forward? How can you best utilize what you have?

172
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: Can you help Ursery by chipping with the backs on

173
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: the way out and keeping a tight end to his side?

174
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 4: This team seems right handed. It's a lot of right

175
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 4: handed formations where Schultz is right and Ursery's over there

176
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: by himself and these fight. He's gonna have a fight

177
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 4: every single weekend because that's what teams in the NFL

178
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: shop for a guy that can get after the passer

179
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 4: when it's a passing league. So you got to get

180
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 4: the youngster some help. And by doing that, I think

181
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: you help CJ in the process. But some things have

182
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 4: to simplify themselves so that you can just go execute

183
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: a handful of plays and know that you can you

184
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 4: can get to certain things when you need to.

185
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: This is kind of for both of you.

186
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: Yesterday we saw Lake and Tomlinson and Juice Scruggs rotating

187
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: at left guard. Saw obviously the rest of the line,

188
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 2: excuse me, with the addition of Andrews back in at

189
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: center and then ed Ingram and Titus Howard, that was

190
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: the offensive line. Would you guys make Juice the permanent

191
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: left guard? Would you leave the line intact? Would you

192
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: take Cam Robinson and put him at left tackle and

193
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: give Ariante some time like or maybe rotate like they

194
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: did with Salam and Dwayne Brown back in the day.

195
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: How would you guys go about with the offensive line

196
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: with what they have right now? Instead of making a

197
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: making a move or trade or whatever, just what you

198
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: have in house? Would you what would you do with

199
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: the offensive line?

200
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: Drey, I'll let you go first.

201
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 4: There's a belief that what they have is the best

202
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 4: five and they have obviously more evan that being true

203
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: than we do because they're they're seeing it every day,

204
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 4: they have the access to practice, film and so on

205
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: and so forth. So you just have to figure out

206
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 4: how to best or get the best out of what

207
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: you have. And uh, and if the ursery is the

208
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 4: best left tackle, I've always been the belief that if

209
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 4: it's close, you go with a younger player because he's

210
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 4: got more upside than the other guy, and the other

211
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 4: guys you know, he's proven what he can do, and

212
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 4: it's you know, you go with the younger player because,

213
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 4: like I said, there's there's more room in which for

214
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 4: him to grow. Uh. I think they just got to

215
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 4: help him out a little bit. But I'm okay with

216
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 4: the way the offensive line is. You just got to

217
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: get the youngster some help at times, especially when you

218
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: know he's fighting his tail off for you, and and

219
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: he's just the one on one matchups seem to be

220
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: a little bit more that he can he can handle.

221
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 4: But by helping him chipping tight end, just kind of

222
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: blocking down before he goes out, just to make sure

223
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 4: you get a beat of protection more. That is what

224
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: I think the answer would be in I would go

225
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: with Juice Scrugs. He's the younger player in this. If

226
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 4: it's close, Like I mentioned, you go with the younger

227
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 4: player because there's more upside.

228
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: And thank you Johnny for allowing me to weigh in

229
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: on this. Being an offensive line expert, the expert I

230
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: am as anybody else out there, I will say this.

231
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 3: Anytime you have a rotation, it's a red flag, right.

232
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: It means neither guy. It's like having two quarterbacks, you

233
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: don't have one right. And we always harken back to

234
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 3: Dwayne Brown and he from salam platooning. Look, if Dwayne

235
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 3: Brown was setting the world on fire as a rookie

236
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 3: and solid, they would have left him in there the

237
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: whole time and eventually turns into one of the best

238
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: left tackles in the league. So the upside was there

239
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: and he met that upside. This doesn't guarantee that Juice

240
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: is going to turn into one of the best guards

241
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: in the league, but maybe you want to give him

242
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: that chance to play a lot and play through it

243
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: because Tomlinson's played a ton and we're more than Juice

244
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: Scruggs anyway in his career.

245
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: And maybe you've seen enough.

246
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but I get it from their standpoint

247
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: in that if one guy makes the mistakes like get

248
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: the other guy in, then that guy makes a mistake.

249
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 3: Maybe the other guy wouldn't have made that mistake. It's frustrating,

250
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: but you kind of got to go with what you got.

251
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 2: That's unfortunately what Owen three does for you. It erode

252
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: your patients.

253
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: Well of course, of course, because every little mistake, it's

254
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: like if we didn't make that mistake, if we didn't

255
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 3: make that mistake. Because people don't want to hear that

256
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: they're close yet and again I'll say it again, it's

257
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: not like they're close to being this dominant team. They're

258
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 3: just close to winning any one of these games. And

259
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 3: that's what the head coach is talking about. So that's

260
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: where I'm at when I evaluate everything on this team.

261
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: All right, Dray defense, I'm loving what I'm seeing overall.

262
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: We could talk about this and talk about that. The

263
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 3: play to Thomas, Okay, I get it all, and the

264
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 3: defensive guys will be the first to tell you, oh,

265
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: they scored we only scored ten. We have to hold

266
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 3: them to nine. I mean they have that mentality. But overall, Dre,

267
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 3: I love what I see on that side of the

268
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: ball in Unison. I just think it's impressive how they

269
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: lose Stingley, yet they pulled them down for much of

270
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: the game, still hold them to seventeen at the end

271
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: of the day, and it could have even been better.

272
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, hats off to Tremon Smith the way he came

273
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 4: in and played and in the absence of Stingley. I think,

274
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 4: you know, you can just grab anyone a name. Petrie played,

275
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 4: I thought maybe his best game in a while. Tim

276
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: Settle played outstanding football. Sheldon Rankins made plays. These are

277
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 4: interior guys making plays, and we know the two edge

278
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: guys and Hunter and Anderson are going to do their thing.

279
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: Bullock played I thought, a solid game on the back

280
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 4: end along with Siej. So you know it's they're kind

281
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: of doing they We needed safety help. They went out

282
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: and got that with CJ. Gardner Johnson, so that filled

283
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 4: the need. Henry Toatoea is playing some outstanding football along

284
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 4: with Christian Harris. Don't want to just keep naming names,

285
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 4: but these guys deserve to be recognized because when you

286
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: do the job that they've done in the first three weeks,

287
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 4: usually team are three and oh two and one at

288
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 4: the worst, and you figure out an offense. I've seen

289
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 4: a defense carry a football team until a young offense

290
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: starts to come along. That's what you're hoping for, but

291
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: there's no guarantees in this league that that happens. You

292
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 4: see it more certainly on the collegiate level. Alabama got

293
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 4: away with it for years under Nick Saban, but that's

294
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 4: not a guarantee. You just hope that the defense can

295
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 4: continue to play the way they're playing, and this offense

296
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: speeds up the learning process so that you can start

297
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: to see wins in the wine.

298
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: Okay, this is gonna be the easiest question that I

299
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: have asked both of you, maybe all day, shortest, the

300
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: easiest shortest. Maybe for one of you, it might be

301
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: who's the best team in the NFL right now through

302
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: three weeks?

303
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: Don't don't do not do this, Johns, through three weeks

304
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: the best football team.

305
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: I know what you want me to say, and I'm

306
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: not gonna say it. I am not going to say

307
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: that shoe is the best team of the league. I'm

308
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: not gonna do it. I can't do it. It's a nightmare.

309
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones, is it the truth? The evenn m VP

310
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: conversation through three weeks is that torture.

311
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: They're one of them.

312
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: Mark they punted one time in three games, one time

313
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: in three games.

314
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: Ray helped me, who's the best team to.

315
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 4: Leave dre Philadelphia Eagles?

316
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: For me?

317
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 4: They have they have faced the smoke in a couple

318
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 4: of situations and obviously, uh, they they had to face

319
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 4: it yesterday against the Rams. I think, Uh, I'm trying

320
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 4: to think the other Kansas City. Uh, they pilayed and

321
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 4: had to had to come back and beat them. So

322
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 4: they've shown some resilience. They've shown why there's the defending

323
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 4: super Bowl champs or you know, having won last year's

324
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. However you want to describe it. Uh, they won't,

325
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: they won't acknowledge it that way. But when Jalen Hurts

326
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 4: is continuing to do what he's doing, he has elevated

327
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: his play and uh, for me, if that's an easy answer, now,

328
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 4: the horseshoe is they're closing in and they're they're in

329
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 4: a conversation. Let's just see how that continues. But the

330
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 4: proven commodity is the Philadelphia Eles.

331
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: Okay, what's the combined record of the three teams the

332
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: Colts have beat?

333
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 3: Not good because one of the Dolphins, Titans, and Broncos.

334
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 3: One of the Broncos are better than their record, you

335
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: would think. But yeah, it's it's not an impressive array

336
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: of opponents. In fact, i'd like the Texans.

337
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: To have that. What's ours seven to two? Yeah?

338
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: Our opponents are pretty good. Okay, the jackson I don't

339
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: think the Jacks are very good. The Jacks were dying

340
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: to hand that game to the Texans. I'll say this,

341
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: this is my hot take. I want you to rate this.

342
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: Okay, uh Dre, you can chime in on this, but

343
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: I won't want Mark to rate this. Jacksonville's defense isn't

344
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: our defense, but it's damn close.

345
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's that's three, Johnny. At least you think they're

346
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: that good.

347
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: You think they're the good defense we saw yesterday, Uh Dre.

348
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 4: I don't think there is talented in the secondary. Yes,

349
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 4: that's as as the Texans. But the front seven, uh,

350
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: I would say, yes, Devin Lloyd, uh they've got two

351
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: excellent edge rushers and Walt Luke.

352
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: Edge.

353
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean there at the front seven, I would

354
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 4: say it's very comp We forget Armstead, He's still got

355
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 4: some good So yeah, the front seven, I would say yes,

356
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 4: But the back end I would certainly give. Give to

357
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 4: the text.

358
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: I'll give you.

359
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 2: We talked about this earlier about additions. You know what

360
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: you do in the off season, et cetera. The Jordan

361
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 2: Lewis signing went under the radar, completely under the radar.

362
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: Look what he did yesterday. But man, he is the

363
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: perfect fit for their nickel, like the perfect fit.

364
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: He has that pick on our sideline and then he

365
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: had the knock the ball away on the seam route

366
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: where CJ tried to hit Kirk. He's in perfect position

367
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: knock that one away, which could have been a big completion.

368
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: He was a big He was a signing that flee

369
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: well under the radar, and he was magnificent.

370
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 3: But when you evaluate them, look what our defense did.

371
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: The Texans defense did to the Jags. I mean we

372
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: talked about Brian Thomas. I know he's been having drop problems.

373
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: He had a big play at the end. Okay, that

374
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 3: was a nice play because that really was a game

375
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 3: changer for them, but a lot of drops for him.

376
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: The Texans got to etn who was having a really

377
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 3: nice two game start. They got to him, They got

378
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 3: to Trevor Lawrence, they got the big pick. They had

379
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: numerous drops.

380
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: I know that.

381
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 3: But overall that side of the ball not going as

382
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: well as they want as the defensive side of the

383
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 3: ball for them, Dray, this is gonna be a ridiculous question,

384
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 3: so I want you to brace yourself. The Titans, they

385
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: give up a ton of yards on the ground, they

386
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 3: give up yards through the air.

387
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: Ward has not turned the ball over.

388
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 3: I got to look at the fumbles, but he's only

389
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 3: thrown one pick so far, pick six. Is there a

390
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 3: look ahead factor? I know you're owing three, but you

391
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, You got the Titans coming in.

392
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 3: They're supposed to hand you a win. I'm gonna to

393
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: put that in air quotes. What about the attention paid

394
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 3: to this or is that not even a factor? They

395
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 3: are just the Texans are hungry for blood and they're

396
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: going to get this one no matter what it takes.

397
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 4: On Sunday afternoon, well you better prepare as though you're

398
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 4: getting ready to face what, in my opinion, is the

399
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 4: best team in the NFL right now, at the Philadelphia Eagles.

400
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 4: You have to prepare that way. Don't prepare thinking the

401
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 4: other way, because that's when you'll slip up and get beaten.

402
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 4: They did it here in our building last year at

403
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 4: NRG Stadium, and they did it with a quarterback that

404
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 4: I think is a lesser talented guy than the guy

405
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 4: they have right now. I think Camore's better than Will Levice,

406
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: and so he can make some plays. He can cause

407
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: you some frustration by pulling the ball down, making plays

408
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 4: with his legs. Now, I've seen him throw it from

409
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 4: every arm angle imaginable, So he's the ball is going

410
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 4: to come out he takes He's taken care of it

411
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: to a degree a little bit better than I thought

412
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 4: at this point in the season. So overlook Tennessee because

413
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 4: guess what, they may be thinking the same thing about you.

414
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 4: Both teams are oh and three. It's hard to win

415
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 4: in this league, really really hard to win in this league.

416
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 4: So you can't over or over underestimate anybody when it

417
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: comes to who you think you should be on that schedule.

418
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 4: The schedule is just what it is. It's just a

419
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 4: slate of games, and that's why coaches will tell you

420
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 4: you take each and every one of them one by one.

421
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 4: You don't know how health is going to factor in,

422
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 4: especially with Steingley and his hip that can linger for

423
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 4: a while, and so that's a piece that you don't

424
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 4: have going against a team that wants to beat you

425
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 4: as badly as you want to beat them. So take

426
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 4: them serious. Prepare as though. You're getting ready to face Philadelphia,

427
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 4: and I think will be all right, especially being at home.

428
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 4: But it's not a game that you can just mail

429
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 4: it in and think they're O and three. Well, this

430
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 4: is our our get well game.

431
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: Okay, Yesterday it was kind of weird in the NFL

432
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 2: on a number of levels. You tell me, you guys,

433
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: both tell me the weirdest result. I'm gonna read off

434
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: a few of them. You tell me the weirdest result yesterday.

435
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: Carolina shutting out Atlanta thirty to nothing.

436
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: That's really weird.

437
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 2: Cleveland beating Green Bay thirteen to ten. The Minnesota Vikings

438
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 2: winning is one thing, but beating the Bengals forty eight

439
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 2: to ten.

440
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: That's not as weird as the others.

441
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: The ending to the Jets Tampa Bay game weird where.

442
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna bucks are gonna kick a field to go

443
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: up twenty nine to.

444
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: Twenty gets block, goes all the way back, gives the

445
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: Jets a twenty seven to twenty six lead, Tampa Bay

446
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 2: goes back down, kicks the game winning field goal, wins

447
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 2: twenty nine to twenty seven. Of those, what's the weirdest

448
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: ending game result from what is just an incredible Sunday

449
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: again in the NFL dre you go first?

450
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, it would be Carolina because you know,

451
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 4: there's the prime example of what we just talked about

452
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 4: a couple of seconds ago. And you can't take a

453
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 4: team lightly who would have thought that they could score

454
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: thirty They probably like to save some of that for

455
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: next week because it's just not going to happen again.

456
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 4: But for that day, they were able. They had everything

457
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 4: dialed up, and it happened right shutting out the Atlanta Falcons,

458
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 4: who had explosive skill position players at their disposal. That's

459
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 4: the shocker for me.

460
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what, Carolina showed signs of life

461
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 3: against Arizona last week.

462
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, and at the end they made that come back.

463
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta be this is a good cautionary tale

464
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 3: for the Texans playing the Titans this week, not that

465
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 3: they showed signs of life. I haven't completely analyzed their

466
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: game yet, but anybody can bounce up at any time

467
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: in this league.

468
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: And you know who else is happy this morning?

469
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 3: Special teams coaches agents, because look at all the games

470
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: that turn on special teams plays, blocks, things like that

471
00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: weird kickoff returns, their value, coordinator's value, good ones gonna

472
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 3: go up here with this new era of the NFL

473
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 3: where we want this thing to be really important, this

474
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: third phase of the game to be even more important

475
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 3: than it ever was. When field goal kickers are banging

476
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 3: sixty yarders, but also blocks are getting returned for tds.

477
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: And weird things happening.

478
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: I think that's a highly notable thing for Frank Ross's brethren,

479
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 3: his colleagues, and the special teams coordinator Business Drey College

480
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 3: football quickly.

481
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: If I had to ask you one question, it's gonna

482
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: be this.

483
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: I don't know how the long Horns are ranked ahead

484
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 3: of Texas Tech at this point.

485
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Texas Tech is four and oh and they

486
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: have the best.

487
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: Team money can buy, right, Yeah, Indiana's foreign Oh my god, what.

488
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 4: Tech Texas Tech has actually played some people, right.

489
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: I mean, Texas played Ohio State but they lost.

490
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they hadn't played anybody since.

491
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 3: So what in Indiana forn Oh it's not just it's

492
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: not just Indiana four and oh, it's how they're four

493
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: and oh with that dominant victory on Saturday. Anyway, general

494
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: thoughts here and what I said or anything else you

495
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 3: want to address in college football.

496
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 4: Well, uh, you know, things are starting to thin itself

497
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 4: out up, upsets of starting to happen, you know, you

498
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 4: just that's why you just kind of let things just

499
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 4: play their way through until about late October early November.

500
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 4: That's when you find out who's who. That's when teams

501
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 4: are starting to really identify who they are. But you know,

502
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 4: I actually really like Texas Tech and the job that

503
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 4: they've done. Can't pass up or you know, slide by

504
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 4: what the coops have done as well, and proud of

505
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 4: what they've done. There there one more win this weekend,

506
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 4: and there there last year's win total. So with with

507
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 4: the rest of the schedule to play out, and I

508
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 4: think they have Texas Tech after after Oregon State, but

509
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 4: it is uh, you know, I'm very proud of the

510
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 4: job that Willie Fritz has done on campus. So it

511
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 4: just let it play out. Texas has got, you know,

512
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 4: a couple of opponents that they could shake things up

513
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 4: for them going forward, but much better competition down the

514
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 4: road for the Longhorns.

515
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's no question about that. It's gonna be man.

516
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: I'm telling you this college football season, especially this week

517
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: coming up, if you're a college football fan. Last week,

518
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: I still thought it was pretty good. More on the road,

519
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 2: it's you know, sometimes it's hard to kind of get

520
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: a chance to see everything. We ended up going to

521
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: David Busters to watch a bunch of games. Canes and Gators.

522
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: Of course, Marks A. Kane and there are a lot

523
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: of Gators fans in Jacksonville. They were not at the

524
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 2: David Busters. There's a lot more Canes fans if you will.

525
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: You had Texas Tech with a big win on Saturday.

526
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: It was a massive win in Utah, more than three touchdowns,

527
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: really put them on, put it on. I think a

528
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: good Utah team, not a great Utah team, but a

529
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 2: good Utah team. But you talk about games this weekend,

530
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: Floor State Virginia on Friday is gonna be unbelievable. I

531
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: think Drey's calling that game TCU Arizona State also on

532
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 2: Friday night on Fox is tremendous. You've got ranked teams

533
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: usc Illinois, even though Illinois got just absolute skull drug

534
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: the other night got Ohio State at Washington. I think

535
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: Washington's a lot better than people think. Ef they're not ranked,

536
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: LSU all miss Auburn taking on a and m Tennessee

537
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: taking on Missispi State, Missippi State's four and oh Oregon

538
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: Penn State's game. Everybody have their eyes on Alabama at Georgia.

539
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 2: It is a tremendous weekend in college football. And Dre

540
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 2: will be calling at Florida State Virginia game on Friday night,

541
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: which is taking place in Charlotsville. That's gonna be a

542
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: fun one. I think Florida State's much better, but they

543
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 2: gotta prove it and they will try and do that

544
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 2: on Friday on the road at the Wahoos. And that

545
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 2: game is always kind of an interesting one, kind of

546
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: a fun one as I look back. Virginia broke a

547
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: long acc streak back in nineteen ninety five and the

548
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 2: man who made a big play at the goal line won,

549
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 2: Anthony Poindexter. I bring that name up because well we

550
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 2: know some of his family members here with the Texans,

551
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: so that's pretty cool.

552
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 1: All right.

553
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: Coming up next, the General John McLain will join us

554
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 2: right here in Texas All Access telling everybody, welcome back

555
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: to Monday this of Texans All Access from the Texans

556
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 2: Radio studio. John Harris here for Plano SOUTHLN reporter for

557
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 2: your Houston Texans. And before we get to the General,

558
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 2: John McClain, the news that I had reiterated or given

559
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: you the first segment of reiterate here Jimmy Ward his

560
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: case no build in Montgomery County. He transitions from the

561
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: Commissioner's exempt list to reserve p up. Does that mean

562
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: he could play this weekend?

563
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 5: No?

564
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: When does that mean he can play? He can play

565
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: after week four? But will he wear is he medically?

566
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: We don't know. They have really kind of no idea.

567
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 2: Everything has been sort of the legal situation, so it

568
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: was what that's got to get figured it out first

569
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: before anything can happen about the reserve pup list and

570
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: injury and all that kind of stuff. So we'll find

571
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: out more throughout the week. But Jimmy Ward not going

572
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: to be indicted on charges in Montgomery County. Okay, let's

573
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: get to the General, John McClain. It's pretty funny. Get

574
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 2: a chance to catch up with the General. He's always

575
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: got a good funny nugget for us, and we start

576
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: off with it right here.

577
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: General, how was your weekend anyway? What are your thoughts

578
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: about those?

579
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 5: How about those Houston Cougars and Rice hous or yes?

580
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: Okay, able to tell you anything.

581
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 5: You guys don't know? Are the listeners don't know? Couple

582
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 5: of stats interesting. Texans the first team in twenty years

583
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 5: to start zero and three while allowing fifty five or

584
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 5: fewer points. And they're the lowest scoring team in the league,

585
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 5: even fewer points than the team like Tennessee, which is

586
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 5: clearly the worst team. And their coach, Brian Callahan, he's

587
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 5: made so many mistakes of clock management, of game management.

588
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 5: It's not like they're playing close games. I'm I'm guessing

589
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 5: that if the Texans win as they should, there's good

590
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 5: chance Brian Callahan is going to be fired and replaced

591
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 5: by Mike McCoy the final a former NFL head coach.

592
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 5: And if you're Texans fan, what's so frustrating is you

593
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 5: go back to the first game fourteen and nine loss

594
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 5: at the Rams Dary goomblewilely fumbles at the seventeen doesn't

595
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 5: mean they would have won the game, but it was

596
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 5: their only chance in the red zone. They're the only

597
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 5: team in the NFL that doesn't have a red zone

598
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 5: touchdown this year. And then, of course the next week

599
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 5: you go ahead nineteen fourteen with two ten left and

600
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield does the second three consecutive victories. He pulls

601
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 5: out in the last minute. That's the first in NFL history.

602
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 5: So you lose by one and this one, of course,

603
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 5: what I don't understand. They had a time out left.

604
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 5: It's third and as you guys said, less than a

605
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 5: yard twenty seven seconds and they go deep. And the

606
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 5: big thing, why did they not give ariantae Ursery help

607
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 5: with josh heines Allen who had been killing him all day.

608
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 5: To me, I don't understand that. Can't wait to see

609
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 5: what Nick Kayley says about it on Thursday. But the

610
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 5: last thing you do is not give help to one

611
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 5: of the best pass rush for one of the best

612
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 5: passers rushers in the league who's having an outstanding game

613
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 5: against a rookie left tackle. And of course he had

614
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 5: Stroud's arm interception, and no matter how hard you willed

615
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 5: it to be a dropped pass, it wasn't. So that's

616
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 5: got to drive the coach is crazy. He's got to

617
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 5: drive the players crazy, just like it does fans and media.

618
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 5: But they won those close games last year, and to me,

619
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 5: the most worrisome thing is, of course the past protection,

620
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 5: but some of the decisions those guys are making, and

621
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 5: then the fact you can tell it's bothering CJ. Strout.

622
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 5: You know, there's little resemblance to the resemblance to this

623
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 5: Troud we're saying now is this stride we saw as

624
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 5: a rookies. And I will never ever be able to

625
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 5: understand how in twenty twenty three you had Chris Strausser

626
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 5: was the line coach and he was starting guys like

627
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 5: George Fant and Michael Dieter, Evan Austin, deculous against the Steelers,

628
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 5: Tendrick Green. They had all these backup linemen having to

629
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 5: start because of the injuries, and yet Stroud was not

630
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 5: getting pumbled. So I'm guessing is something that the defensive

631
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 5: coordinators found out when they watched the Texans over and

632
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 5: over and over during that offseason. And they came back,

633
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 5: and the Texans have not been able to stop it

634
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 5: and adjust. And one of the reasons I don't think

635
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 5: teams respect their running game. And this game was close

636
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 5: enough where you could have run the ball more because

637
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 5: I think they average like four point three yards of

638
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 5: Carrie and so. But the Titans are terrible. They're under

639
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 5: a cloud of controversy. This is the game their owner,

640
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 5: Amy Adams Truck, wants to win the most. Texans are

641
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 5: favored by what six or seven? They should win this

642
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 5: game handily, but as we've seen so far, nothing comes

643
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 5: easy for these Texans generally.

644
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: I ask you a question.

645
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 2: I was on with one of the Jackson Jaguars porters

646
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: this week and she asked me, and I'll ask actually

647
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: both yea, Mark you Chiman on this as well.

648
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: But how much do the Texans miss Joe Mixon? You think?

649
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 5: I think they missed him a lot, because Joe not

650
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 5: only was a good player, if he had missed those

651
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 5: three and a half games because of those illegal hip

652
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 5: drop tackles, he'd have been somewhere around fourteen hundred yards.

653
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 5: He's a good receiver, he's very outgoing. You know, He's

654
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 5: one of those guys. That gets the players fired up,

655
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 5: and I think they miss him a lot. And I

656
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 5: you know, it looks like he's gone into the witness

657
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 5: protection program and if he ever comes back, can't wait

658
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 5: to see what he says about what's happened to him,

659
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 5: because it's one of the great secrets Adam Shefter can't

660
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 5: find out, Ian Rappaport can't find out. Maybe we need

661
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 5: to have Bablo Torri do an investigation. Bob Blot he

662
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 5: finds out what's happened to Joe Mixon, and everybody's tried,

663
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 5: but it's one of the greatest protective secrets I've ever seen.

664
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 5: Hopefully Joe be able to come back, but because it's

665
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 5: such a mystery, you don't have any idea if he would.

666
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 5: But I think there's no doubt if Joe Mixon were

667
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 5: here like he was last year, when he was healthy,

668
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 5: this offense would be a lot better.

669
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I think that it's Mixon's production, that's

670
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 3: one thing. And I think Chubb is fine, and I think,

671
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 3: you know, I want to see more of Woody and

672
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: all that. I like that duo, but it's the fire

673
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 3: of Mixin as a person exactly that I think would

674
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: really help because mixin could. I'm not saying the line

675
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 3: needs to be lit up or maybe they need to

676
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 3: be arranged differently or whatever. But if anybody needs lighting

677
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: up on offense, he's the guy to do it.

678
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: He'll light you up.

679
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 3: You know, anybody needs a little push mentally, psychologically, whatever,

680
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 3: he's the guy to do it.

681
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not so sure.

682
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 3: You know, it shouldn't have to be Cjfcj's not really

683
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 3: that guy. The quarterback can be more of a all right,

684
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be the great technician back here, make plays,

685
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 3: and you guys got to, you know, police yourselves if

686
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 3: you will. So I think they do miss them an

687
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 3: awful lot. General, are the Colts for real? At three

688
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 3: and oh? Daniel Jones three tds, no pick, seventy one

689
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: percent completion, Jonathan Taylor running the daylights out of the ball.

690
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: What do you think?

691
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 5: They've got everything you want in a winning team? And

692
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 5: uh boy, after I'm through with you, guys, I'm doing

693
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 5: a show in Nashville, one of two today and three

694
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 5: in the next two days. And that thing about uh,

695
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 5: I forget which receiver was afterwards said they didn't have

696
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 5: anything before the game. You can tell they didn't have

697
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 5: any spark in The Colts said we're gonna We're gonna

698
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 5: win this game, and then two Calahan's own players said

699
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 5: they came out flat and his fans were booing. They

700
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 5: left early, and so I think the Colts are definitely

701
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 5: for real. Daniel Jones has been great in shapstaking people

702
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 5: wanted him fired, Well, that just shows they shoved.

703
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 4: Now.

704
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 5: I don't know if they shoved Anthony Richardson down his throat,

705
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 5: but he is a much better coach with Daniel Jones

706
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 5: than he was with Anthony Richardson. And as long as

707
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 5: Jonathan Taylor is healthy to make that outfense go, he's

708
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 5: going to be a huge benefit to Jones. That's just

709
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 5: like if Joe Mixon were here, Joe Mixon would be

710
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 5: a huge benefit to C. J. Stroud. But until and

711
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 5: you know, the Titans see this, you got to get

712
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 5: ariyante Ursery some help with a tight end at best

713
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 5: and a running back at worse, because you know he

714
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 5: had to have lost his confidence yesterday on that last

715
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 5: one where pines Allen just bi, I just will never

716
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 5: understand why they put Ursery in that situation and he disrupted.

717
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 5: Really he won the game. There was a good interception,

718
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 5: but hitting Stroud's arm had basically won the game. And

719
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 5: so yes, I think right now they've got a three

720
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 5: game lead on the Texans, and the way they're going,

721
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 5: they're just a game ahead of the Jaguars. But based

722
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 5: on what I've seen, they're clearly better than the Jaguars.

723
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 2: General you mentioned Nashville the Titans level of one to ten,

724
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: ten being like it's on fire, zero being it's cooled off.

725
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 2: How bad is the situation for Brian Callahan and Tennessee.

726
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 5: They couldn't get any worse. Everybody. I'm talking about everybody, fans, media,

727
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 5: I don't know about people in the organization. But when

728
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 5: you are clearly overmatched and you can't make up your

729
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 5: mind on a field goal at the end of the

730
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 5: first half, and you have at least one or two

731
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 5: timeouts in the delay game and you miss it, and

732
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 5: then the Coats come back and kick it, that's that's

733
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 5: that's just as they call it up their malpractice, coaching malpractice.

734
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 5: And it's happened to him after every game, and they

735
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 5: ask him after the game, they ask him on Monday,

736
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 5: and he doesn't really have any answers. So people figure

737
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 5: he'll get fired if you fire, and then you gotta

738
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 5: fire as dead. The offensive line coach, who has been

739
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 5: a great line coach, his last job was at Cleveland,

740
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 5: but they can't get their line together. Their defense is

741
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 5: better than their offense, and so I don't expect I

742
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 5: saw a stat last week all these coaches get fired

743
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 5: after four games, including Bill O'Brien here two thousand and

744
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 5: so one more loss. Especially the Texans. People figure, you know,

745
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 5: his head's gonna be able to you.

746
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 3: Know, for the Titans, they hire Callahan and he did

747
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 3: not call the plays in Cincinnati, so you hire him

748
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 3: to be the head coach, and he says, I'm gonna

749
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 3: call plays. So you're taking on head coach and play

750
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 3: caller for the first time. These two things. I can

751
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 3: understand it if you're a great leader, and maybe you're

752
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 3: worth the play caller. But you're a leader of men,

753
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 3: all right, So I'm going to hire a coordinator, he's

754
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 3: going to call the plays. I'll just be the leader

755
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 3: of men, and you know, break myself in as a

756
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 3: head coach that way, because you all got to start somewhere.

757
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 3: But to start, those two things, play caller and head coach. General,

758
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: I think it was a bad move by Titans management,

759
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: if you will to make the decision that way.

760
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: It's not working out.

761
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 5: Worked out well for the Vikings. Kevin o'gonalden call plays.

762
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 5: There are instances where guys don't call plays, and then

763
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 5: when they get a chance to be a head coach,

764
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 5: they call plays and it works out mainly because they

765
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 5: got more talent than the Titans, and they're ripped talent

766
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 5: because they've done such a bad job, uh draft thing

767
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 5: now this year so far, it's early, but they think

768
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 5: they may have done a better job drafting. But if

769
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 5: I'm Callahan, i would say, okay, before I got fired,

770
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 5: I'd say, all right, I'm going to turn and play

771
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 5: calling over to Mike McCoy. Remember Brian Callahan was hired

772
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 5: by Rand Cawthorn, former GM. It lasted one year. The

773
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 5: two new guys in charge, Chad Branker and Mike mcgonzi,

774
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 5: and they did not hire him, and that's why he's

775
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 5: not long for the head coaching world.

776
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tend to agree.

777
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 2: General asked this question earlier of Andre I'll ask it

778
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 2: of you, and Mark was very fearful that the word

779
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 2: colts was going to be used. What's the best team

780
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 2: in the league right now?

781
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 5: Well, I wouldn't say the Colts because I looked at

782
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 5: their schedule and the Broncos. They barely beat the Broncos

783
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 5: thanks to a penalty at the end that gave them

784
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,919
Speaker 5: another chance to kick a field goal. Broncos are one

785
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 5: and two after a lot of people were picking them

786
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 5: to go to the Super Bowl. Tell you what the

787
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 5: way the Eagles win like that game yesterday, you know, Buffalo?

788
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 5: I would if I would say Buffalo Baltimore and the

789
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 5: Chargers in the AFC and the Eagles and the NFC.

790
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 5: But right now, the one that is winning the most

791
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 5: impressively the Chargers. I believe they played three division games.

792
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: Yep, they beat all three.

793
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 2: Now my hope with that is that the Chargers aren't real,

794
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 2: real good and maybe the division is just down this year.

795
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 2: I think everybody knows AFC West is a pretty strong division,

796
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: seemingly with all the talent that's there. But through three

797
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 2: weeks the NFL season, man, you can't bank on anything.

798
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: I guarantee nobody at the Texans own three. Certainly no

799
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 2: one had the Browns beating the Packers on an Andre

800
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: Schmidt fifty five yard field goal two weeks after he

801
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 2: had missed one to beat the Bengals. So yeah, I

802
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 2: don't think there are a lot of people that kind

803
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: of saw some of the things that are happening in

804
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 2: the NFL. But that's what makes this league so incredibly great. Now,

805
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 2: as happens, there's always injury news. Now, there's nothing that

806
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 2: we know of here in Houston. We do know that

807
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: Derek Stingley Junior was hurt with the obleak. Coach talked

808
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 2: about that in his press conference that he's.

809
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: Day to day.

810
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 2: But there are some teams dealing with some season ending

811
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 2: injuries that are gonna be tough, some West Coast teams.

812
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: In fact, both teams on the Texas schedule that they

813
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: will face and they will face them without these key players.

814
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that and go around the NFL next right

815
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 2: here on Texans All Access. Yeah, sir, welcome back to

00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: He always makes for a fun game. But we want

Speaker 2: the Lions to win, right Always NFC against AFC, you

Speaker 1: Jered Guff Jered Guff, All right, let's go around the

828
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: NFL with some news, mainly injury news.

829
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 2: Texans will face the San Francisco forty nine ers after

830
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 2: a trip to Seattle, but it looks like we will

831
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: be facing the Niners without Nick Bosa, believed to have

832
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 2: suffered a torn ACL and Sundays win over the Cardinals.

833
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 1: I saw a tweet.

834
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 2: I was on a plane, I got a little bit

835
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: of Wi Fi and I was just going through Twitter

836
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: and somebody was describing Bosa the sidelines and they said,

837
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 2: you o. Somebody screened from the stands you okay, and

838
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: he just did thumbs down.

839
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, boy, knew it was bad.

840
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 2: Apparently it is believed to be a season ending torn

841
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 2: ACL for one of the best defensive players in the league.

842
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 2: Nick Bosa done for the year for the forty nine Ers.

843
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: Now he is not the only one done for the

844
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 2: year that is a Texans opponent. Now, the Charges are

845
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 2: playing some good football, So losing Najie Harris that could

846
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 2: be tough. Maybe tough, but I think they're gonna be okay.

847
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 2: But he ripped his achilles. He is out for the season.

848
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 2: And I kind of lied to you a little bit.

849
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 2: There's a third team the Texans will face, and they

850
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 2: also lost their running back for the year, and that

851
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 2: was James Connor.

852
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: Out for the year.

853
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 2: That achilles, I mean, just watching Naji's Naji go down,

854
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 2: I mean you could just I've seen a number of

855
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 2: these achilles injuries. Oh my gosh. James Connor is an

856
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 2: ankle injury. He is also lost for the season. So

857
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 2: the Texans will play the Cardinals without James Connor, They'll

858
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 2: play the Niners without Nick Bosa, and they will play

859
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 2: the Chargers late in the year without Najee Harris.

860
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: That's a tough one for Naji. He came back from.

861
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 2: That fireworks incident injury that kept him out of a

862
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: lot of training camp. He got back, he was playing

863
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 2: Chargers were playing well, and then it was a play

864
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 2: action fat fake and he just went down the achilles

865
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 2: gave out, so tough news there for those three Ceedee.

866
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 2: Lamb will not miss the season, but he is going

867
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 2: to be out a couple of games dealing with a

868
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 2: high ankle sprand he suffer against the Chicago Bears. So

869
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: with all that injury news, adjust your finite fantasy lineups accordingly.

870
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 2: Hopefully you're doing well, but make sure you make those

871
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 2: adjustments because the injuries. Texas will not face the Cowboys

872
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 2: unfortunately this year. We'd like to get a piece of them,

873
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: but that won't happen for another couple of years. All Right,

874
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 2: that's gonna do it for the show. Appreciate Mark, Dre,

875
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 2: the general, all of you for listening. We'll see you

876
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 2: next time and as always, go Texans.
