1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Hello Texans and Mary Day after Christmas, Happy Honukah, Happy holidays.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: We really appreciate you listening tonight. Let's have some fun.

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: We'll try to. Twenty four hours later, Ouch, Mark Vandermer

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: and John Harris with you, following the Texans loss to

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: the Ravens and a weird time of year because you

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: don't play again for a week and a half and

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: who knows who's going to play against the Tennessee Titans

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: to wrap up the regular season, and as the Texans

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: are locked in the fourth seed right now in the

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: AFC playoff picture. We'll get into you all of it tonight.

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: Johnny and I are going to play a Who's better

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: type thing in segment two. But we kick off the

13
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: show as we usually do here on a Thursday night

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: with the General, John McClain.

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: General.

16
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: Here we go a day later, tough to digest, still

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: not going down that easy. Your thoughts on what you

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: saw against the Ravens and moving forward from there.

19
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: Good evening.

20
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: One of the most embarrassing performances I've ever seen in

21
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: my forty eight years of governing the NFL. Considering this

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: team as a division champion coming off of one point loss,

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: I mean one score loss at Kansas City and the

24
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: offense not scoring, getting outscored by the defense, and so

25
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of something positive besides Beyonce, and

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: I thought Tommy Townsend's back to back putts, we're pretty incredible.

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: And uh so let's see what else? What else? What else?

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: I guess that's it.

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's not there's not much. So, okay, general play

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: the Titans. We don't know the schedule just yet, right,

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 4: I don't think we know whether we're playing on Saturday

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 4: or Sunday. My guess is Sunday at noon because the

33
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 4: game is not gonna matter for either squad.

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: Right, So that's my guest's say it's a lock. That's

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: my guest.

36
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Probability ninety eight percent, Johnny. Okay, so let's let's do

37
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: a little math here.

38
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: Today's at twenty sixth, then the second will be a

39
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: week from now, so they're gonna play in ten ish days, right,

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 4: So do you think, first of all, the game doesn't matter.

41
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: You're the four seed. You can't change it. So A,

42
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: do you think CJ. Stroud's gonna play in that?

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: John?

44
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: And then b if he rests, he's got pretty much

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 4: all the way.

46
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: Till the eleventh.

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: That's the Saturday, and I got a feeling we're gonna

48
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 4: play that Saturday, as people have joked the Texans Invitational

49
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 4: on Saturday afternoon. If you give CJ Stroud from today

50
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: the twenty sixth, all the way to the eleventh, do

51
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: you think that's enough to heal body and mind and

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 4: spirit to get ready to play in a playoff game.

53
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: I saw an interview with Dan Campbell, even though a

54
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: game's not gonna mean anything to him, he said, we

55
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: will bring everything we have to try to win every game. Oh,

56
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: that's easy for him to say when he's gonna have

57
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: a week off. What's going on with CJ? Is not working.

58
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: That's his worst game of the season. He missed so

59
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: many open players, and so Demiko has to decide do

60
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: you play him and try to let him work his

61
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: way out of it, or does he need to go

62
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: off and sit and watch see if he can if

63
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: the break will help him. Because of the five sacks,

64
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: I would say two maybe three with the lion's fault,

65
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: you know, running out of bounds and taking a sack

66
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: rather than throwing away. That's not smart. He's been in

67
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: the league long enough where he shouldn't still be doing that,

68
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: and so I'm guessing they're gonna rest them. You know,

69
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: the Titans got a chance to sweep the Texans after

70
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: they came in here and embarrassed them in RG Stadium,

71
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: and you know they're playing to win. In the Texans

72
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: weakness interior offensive line, you're going against Sweat, you're going

73
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: against Simmons, and those guys are very disruptive. So it

74
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: just depends on what Dimiko and his staff and Nick

75
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: Cassario he figures into it. What do you think you

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: should do. I'm guessing they're gonna wrest them, not all

77
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: of them, but they're gonna wrest some of them, including Strout.

78
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they will. That's my thought on this.

79
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't know anything from the inside, but if this

80
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: game happened this weekend, if it was a regular week

81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: seventeen game, there's no question you'd rest everybody to give

82
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: everyone a buy before the postseason gets started. Even having

83
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: played that way, I think the only possibility here that

84
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: I might entertain if I were making these decisions is

85
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: maybe get them out there for a couple of possessions,

86
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: work up a lather, kind of like a preseason finale.

87
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: But then you think, what are we doing here? Right?

88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: You really need to do that on the first play.

89
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could happen on the first play, an injury, whatever,

90
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: And maybe you can develop a way if you practice

91
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: with great intensity and they can do that. Next week

92
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: they can practice a little bit that way. I know

93
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: there's pad restrictions and all that, but they can go

94
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: at a fuller speed, perhaps with the starting unit, to

95
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: try to get some timing down. Deontay Johnson and such

96
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: and john while we're on that subject, we haven't really

97
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: had time to react the three of us on the

98
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson signing. Can you do anything to help this

99
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: football team and just talk about the timing aspect of things,

100
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: as you will be off for two and a half

101
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: weeks before playing in the postseason.

102
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: If you rest the starters against Tennessee.

103
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: You know, the more I think about that mark when

104
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: you have this much time off and you desperately need

105
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 3: a win to get your mind right, your confidence back.

106
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: It looks like Stroud has lost some confidence. Don't blame

107
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 3: him as much as he's been hit, He's just not

108
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 3: playing with the same fundamentals. So it might be good

109
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: give him a long time off, then let him go

110
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: full speed play that game to win, because you need

111
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: a victory. They're capable, and I see capable of beating

112
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,239
Speaker 3: not the Ravens, but it doesn't look like the Ravens

113
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: are coming back capable of beating Steelers lost three in

114
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: a row, the Broncos, and the Chargers capable of all three.

115
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: But right now, I haven't seen anything from this offense

116
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: in a long time that makes me think all of

117
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 3: a sudden, it's gonna play well and they're gonna win

118
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 3: that game. But if they could close out a victory

119
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: over the Titans, a victory in the wild Guard round,

120
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: and then lose on the road, boy, that would cure

121
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: a lot of the ills that are going on right now.

122
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I suppose so, general, And I mean, look the

123
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 4: hard this is such a difficult decision, I think other

124
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 4: than CJ. Because to me, when CJ went out of

125
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 4: the game in the second quarter with some injury, he

126
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 4: was holding his arm or whatever it was.

127
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: He did come back in the game after that.

128
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 4: I just feel like, if there's anybody that you know

129
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: is not going to be one hundred or even close

130
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 4: to one hundred percent, I know nobody's one hundred percent

131
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 4: at this time of the year, but.

132
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: This might be one of those games.

133
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 4: And I thought about after CJ had the concussion against

134
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 4: the Jets last year, he missed the next couple of

135
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 4: games now that ended up being I think like three weeks, right.

136
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: Including the Titans victory.

137
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 4: That's right, including the Titans victory, and then obviously lost

138
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 4: to the Browns. He got back for the game against

139
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: the Titans in Week seventeen, and he looks sharp, He

140
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 4: looked good. There were some other things that he had

141
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 4: a chance to kind of rest as well.

142
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: So maybe that's what they do.

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 4: But general to go up there Week eighteen, they're wearing

144
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: the Oilers uniforms. I'm curious as to what Davis Mills

145
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: can do. I mean, there's a part of me that

146
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 4: feels like in the playoffs, you might, considering how banged

147
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 4: up CJ has been, you might have to go to

148
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 4: Davis Mills. It might be more important to get Davis

149
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 4: Mills some reps just to make sure that he's kind

150
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: of because he hasn't been on a field basically other

151
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: than handing off last night or against Ravens, that you

152
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 4: might want to get him some reps. Maybe throwing the football,

153
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 4: maybe get some timing with the receivers. You'll work with

154
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 4: Deontay Johnson a little bit. I don't know, but if

155
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: CJ is still a little bit banged up, that's the

156
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 4: way I go about it.

157
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: But general, I think I think a bigger not bigger.

158
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 4: But I think a story that we're kind of glossing

159
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 4: over is how bad the Texans defense was against Derrick

160
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 4: Henry and Lamar Jackson and this running game just pounded

161
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: the Texans and it was merciless.

162
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: I mean, they just kept running downhill.

163
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 4: I would they end up with two point fifty and

164
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: they had Lamar basically and Derreck Henry out for the

165
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 4: almost the entire fourth quarter. What is going on with

166
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 4: this defense? And on top of that, getting out Aziz

167
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 4: al Shier back for this week against Tennessee, how important

168
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: will that be?

169
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 3: Well, he wouldn't have made a difference in this game.

170
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 3: Nobody would. They could have brought back JJ Watt and

171
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: they were gonna get stomped. Did y'all see the stat

172
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 3: on I think Derrick Henry had one hundred and forty

173
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: seven yards one hundred and forty two or between the

174
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: tackles that means that the offensive line was crushing the

175
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 3: defensive line and linebackers, and that is something the Titans

176
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: saw in that first game. But big plays, lots of

177
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: explosive plays, poor tackling, poor angles, and I thought it

178
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: was interesting. The Neil Hunters said, actor, well, we need

179
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 3: a better game plan. Let's shot at the coaches and

180
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: CJ said he came out flat. Well, why is that?

181
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: You got no excuse to be flat for a game

182
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 3: like this? And the Ravens have done that to a

183
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: lot of teams, and it's amazing the turnaround Baltimore's defense

184
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 3: has made since they made a couple of changes in

185
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: the secondary and now they're really really good and physical

186
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: and they're good boy them in Kansas City and Buffalo.

187
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: It looks to me like both of them are capable

188
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: of beating the Bills the way the Bills were playing

189
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: right now, and we could have another AFC Championship game

190
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 3: with the Ravens and the Chiefs instead of being in Baltimore,

191
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: being in Kansas City. But Derrick Henry's a whole new,

192
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: whole new weapon for them, and he was great as

193
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 3: he almost always is. And I think back to how

194
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: the Texans totally shut him down like year when they've

195
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: won both in games, but of course it wasn't against

196
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,359
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson in the weapon.

197
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 4: That he is.

198
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: Well, we got through the gauntlet three games in eleven

199
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: days and the Texans went one to two. What's interesting

200
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: to me, and I don't know if this has anything

201
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: to do with what we're seeing, but it's been a

202
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: weird season. And I've written about this and I've said

203
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: this before. Once you swept the Colts, you felt like, Okay,

204
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: got the division not wrapped up, it's still October, but

205
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: you got the division in control. And then what happens

206
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: you go to the Jets. You'll lose that one. Eh,

207
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: not a good night, short week, Okay, whatever played Detroit,

208
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: play your guts out, but lose, and now you think

209
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: one seed, two seed probably out of reach. It doesn't

210
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: mean they folded the tent general at all, because they

211
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: blew out Dallas. They come home, but then they lose

212
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: to Tennessee.

213
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: I just feel like the.

214
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: Pressure, when it's really on, they respond so much better.

215
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: When the team visited Jacksonville, pressure was on extremely high

216
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: because you're coming off the lost to Tennessee. They beat

217
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: the Jags coming out of the bide. They're playing the Dolphins.

218
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: You gotta get this game because you know what's coming

219
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and the Ravens. Got to get the Dolphins,

220
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: and the Colts are gonna play the Broncos later that day.

221
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: You lose to the Dolphins, the Colts win their game back,

222
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you got the Chiefs and

223
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: Ravens right there. The Colts might have overtaken the Texans,

224
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: just like the Texans overtook.

225
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 2: The Jags last year.

226
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: So I think my long winded point here is that,

227
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: and this is no excuse, you have to play with

228
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: other professionalism every time out, but the heat hasn't been

229
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: on every game. Now it's on once you get to

230
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: the postseason again. And I don't know if they respond

231
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: once it's on then, but I think that has something

232
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: to do with all this. It's a strange dynamic that

233
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: they've been living through.

234
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: Thoughts.

235
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: I'm sorry your mike went out. Did you repeat that.

236
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: Word?

237
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: Sound? Think the Texans think that way for a second.

238
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: They think week the week, and this was a big game.

239
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 3: Had they won this game in Kansas City, they could

240
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: have improved their seating. And there going against two teams

241
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: that are clearly better than them. They don't belong in

242
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 3: the same class as the Chiefs and the Ravens. There's

243
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 3: no shame in that they need another offseason like they

244
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: had last season. They're gonna have to do something about

245
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: the interior offensive line, and they're gonna have to fix CJ. Stroud.

246
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 3: But I think this year they're just not as good offensively.

247
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: And you guys asked earlier about Deontay Johnson. He can't hurt,

248
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: that's for sure. We're talking about a guy at one

249
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: point at one hundred and twenty one catches. He had

250
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 3: two great seasons at Pittsburgh and one real good one.

251
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: But obviously he's a pain to get bounced around, and

252
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: he's on an audition. I'm sure. Did Davis Mills sign

253
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 3: the extension for next season, was that.

254
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 2: This season, I can't run next season?

255
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: Next season? Yeah, so we know Davis is still going

256
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: to be around working with CJ. Stroud, and you know

257
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: he'd like to get he'd like to get a chance

258
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: to play because that's why he's there and he's a

259
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: former starter. But I first thought that Demiko would hold

260
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: out CJ. Now I'm thinking he's not going to want

261
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: to give him that much time off, and I think

262
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: they need to build a little momentum for the playoffs

263
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: by beating the Titans.

264
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: I know it's not a huge point here, but are

265
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: you guys a little surprised that they didn't let Mills

266
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: throw it around a little bit at the end of

267
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: the game, just to try to get a touchdown on

268
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: the Moore, just to try to get something positive there,

269
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: Because I feel like you're right, Johnny, it's not like

270
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: Mills is going to start, but Mills might be called

271
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: upon at any point. He had to enter the game

272
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Ravens, so let him throw it around

273
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: a little bit, get lathered up, and get some rhythm

274
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: with the receivers. And I know you don't want to

275
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: get people hurt, but they can get hurt on a

276
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: handoff just as easily. And I was just a little

277
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: surprised they were handing off to get out of the

278
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: game at that point.

279
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what surprised me was to make I'm

280
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 3: not going for it on fourth down on Baltimore, yes

281
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: into the field, considering he goes for fourth Two other

282
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 3: times he went yes for fourth down, So I'm I

283
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 3: was surprised by that.

284
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: And the ball goes into the end zone and you

285
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: get net twenty three, you get to push them back

286
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: to the twenty. So not only did they not go

287
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: for it, they didn't get the punt they were looking

288
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: for on that occasion, trying to pin them inside the tent,

289
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: because if you're punting from the forty three, it's inside

290
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: the ten or bust.

291
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you.

292
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: Have to be able to do that, you know, you

293
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: have to go for that fair cash possibility with a

294
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: high Tommy Townsend sand wedge, and it didn't work. So

295
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: I was surprised as well. If you go forward fourth

296
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: and goal from the four, and you went for a

297
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: fourth down earlier on that drive that you hope to

298
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: score on the next time you're down there, you got

299
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: to go forward again because that's the law of averages.

300
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: That's what you're hoping happens. You got to go for

301
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: it on these fourth downs consistently. Either you're doing that

302
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: tonight or you're not doing that tonight. So I was

303
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: a little surprised about that.

304
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about it.

305
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: General, we've seen the Chiefs, we saw the Ravens within

306
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 4: four days of one another. If I gave you one

307
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 4: hundred dollars to go to Vegas and say, pick the

308
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 4: Super Bowl winner from these two.

309
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: It's going to be for one of these two. Who

310
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: is it Chiefs or Ravens.

311
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 3: Boy, it's a tough one because we just saw the

312
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: Ravens humiliate the Texts and the Texans come within one

313
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: score of the Chiefs. But I'll tell you his story.

314
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: A few years ago, when Cincinnati played Kansas City in

315
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: the championship game, Magres mac met On bet on Cincinnati.

316
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: Then he met Patrick Mahomes at the Kentucky Derby and

317
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 3: he told him, you cost me a lot of money,

318
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: and Mahomes goes, mac never bet against me. So I'm

319
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: never betting against Patrick Mahomes. I would take the Chiefs

320
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 3: coached by Santa.

321
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: Claus, I agree.

322
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: I would have to pick the Chiefs still until the

323
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: Ravens prove it to me in the postseason. I gotta

324
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: go with the Chiefs. The Chiefs just have this way

325
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: of turning it on when they need to. How many

326
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: people thought that they would go into Pittsburgh and do

327
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: what they did on Christmas?

328
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: I didn't think so. I thought it might be.

329
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was going to be a close

330
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: game that maybe they win. But I never thought would

331
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: be like that where they just pretty much dominate the game.

332
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: Wasn't like the Ravens against the Texas. Well, they just

333
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: love playing on Netflix, I guess.

334
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: I guess so some people love.

335
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: Our schedule has been brutal, Ben Roethlisberger complaining about it,

336
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: but it has been brutal, and they've lost three in

337
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 3: a row. They've had a habit of folding down the

338
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: stretch in recent years and then losing when they played.

339
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: But the one thing they could count on was beating

340
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: the Ravens, and now the Ravens have ended that JINX.

341
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: Now could it be the year that Lamar Jackson finally

342
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: ends his playoff James and wins the Super Bowl?

343
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: I'm with you on Hey.

344
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: The Ravens in the driver's seat obviously, and the Pittsburgh

345
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: Steelers here present an opportunity.

346
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: I mean, you could lose to the Steelers. Yep. They've

347
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: got a pass rush.

348
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Last I checked, they got Najie Harris, They've got other weapons.

349
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: But it's not a bad opportunity if it turns out

350
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: to be that way. Texans locked into the fourth seed

351
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: and the Steelers the likeliest scenario. Now, if the Chargers

352
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: or Broncos, if either of those teams wins their final two,

353
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: they're coming here.

354
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: All right, yep, yep.

355
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: But because they'll get to eleven and the Steelers will

356
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: be in ten. Would oh, the Steelers can get to akay?

357
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 2: Sorry? So if the Steelers had to tie with those.

358
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: Teams, the Steelers beat both of them, right, so you

359
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: have that they have to head to head.

360
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: So this is what three would y'all rather say? I'd

361
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: love to see the Broncos.

362
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, probably. I wouldn't mind seeing Pittsburgh, though. I

363
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: think that they feel cursed right now, and I'm not

364
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: saying we feel blessed exactly.

365
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 4: I think Denver will be playing with house money, and

366
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: that always worries me. With a young team with some

367
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 4: playing with house money, i'd worry about that. But here's

368
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 4: here's what I kept coming back to. I was playing

369
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 4: around the playoff predictor machine and all that this past

370
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 4: week general, and I kept coming back to I.

371
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: Really didn't want to see Baltimore again.

372
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, And the thing was, I know, but if we

373
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 4: had beaten Baltimore, had we beat Baltimore and all of sudden,

374
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 4: now you're playing for the three seed. So now you

375
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 4: gotta play everybody, and you beat Tennessee, you get the

376
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 4: three seed. You end up getting probably the Broncos. There's

377
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 4: a possibility you could have gotten the Colts. There's a

378
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 4: possibility you could get the Chargers. You wouldn't get the

379
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: Ravens or the Steelers more than likely, but then your

380
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: second round would be at Buffalo, whereas now you're gonna

381
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 4: get presumably the Steelers.

382
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: Oh so this is the playoff version of losing or

383
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: of beating the Colts.

384
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 2: At the end of twenty twenty two. Yes, it works out,

385
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 2: after all.

386
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 4: They work because you're gonna get the Steelers on a

387
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 4: downswing and then you go back to Kansas City. But

388
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 4: then I had this epiphany as I was driving up General.

389
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 4: I was thinking about twenty twelve, and I thought, well,

390
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 4: everybody wanted to shout out the Patriots again after the

391
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: Monday Night debacle, and.

392
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 2: That didn't go well in the playoffs.

393
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 4: So I don't know if there are any good scenarios,

394
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 4: if I'm being honest. So it's just it's tough to

395
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 4: think of what the scenarios might be.

396
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: But Buffalo's sitting there at number two.

397
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I asked you about the Chiefs and the Ravens

398
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 4: glossing over the Bills.

399
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: This is for both of you.

400
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 4: Are the Bills of that caliber of the Ravens and

401
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 4: the Chiefs. I know the Bills beat the Chiefs, I

402
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 4: know that, but the Ravens hammered the Bills in Baltimore.

403
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 4: So it's almost been kind of a round robin and

404
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 4: getting beat by each other. But are the Bills on

405
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 4: the same are Are they in the same class as

406
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 4: the Ravens and the Chiefs or the Ravens the Chiefs

407
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 4: just to step ahead.

408
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: No, as long as Josh Allen is not playing away

409
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 3: he did Sunday, not playing the way he did against

410
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: the Texans, yes they are. Give me the Broncos and

411
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback against this defense any day of the

412
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: week instead of watching TJ. Watt and high Smith chasing CJ.

413
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 3: Stroud on every snap.

414
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 2: Yep.

415
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean you handled them well last year, and with

416
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: Austin Deculus starting at left tackle somehow, But I don't

417
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: want to take my chances with that. If I have

418
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: that choice, and obviously no choice, you have to see

419
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: where the chips fall. General, I made a comparison in

420
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: an article I wrote on Houston Texans dot com.

421
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: See I'm promoting my stuff.

422
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 3: I retweeted it, thank you, so I know all about it.

423
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: The Yeah, the article was about well, part of it

424
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: was about the team in twenty twelve coming back from

425
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: Indy after losing the opportunity to get home field advantage

426
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: throughout the playoffs, and it was like a flying hearse.

427
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a terrible loss regular season finale.

428
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: You're coming home to play on wild card weekend when

429
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: you could have skipped that weekend with a victory, and

430
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: everybody was down.

431
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 2: It just felt really depressed.

432
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: Yet Gary Kubiak rallied the team against a hot Bengals

433
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: team on wildcard weekend. That was the second year they

434
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: were in the playoffs, and they won the game. And

435
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: I know no one was going to throw a parade

436
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: for that victory, but I thought that was a tremendous

437
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: coaching job after the complete meltdown they had, losing three

438
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: out of four. And I think this is obviously not

439
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: exactly the same thing, but it's similar in that you're

440
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: not playing your best ball at all.

441
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: Right now, you're not playing well.

442
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: At all, and you're in the postseason, and you got

443
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: to find a way to rally the troops.

444
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 2: Here.

445
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 1: Tomiko rans and he's got more time to do it.

446
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: So I think that this look, I'm not here to

447
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: tell you that the sun is shining and everything's fine,

448
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: but it's still an opportunity and he's got to get

449
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: them to buy into it to play well wild Card

450
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: weekend to take it from there.

451
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 3: Thoughts, it was an opportunity like Kansas City and Baltimore

452
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: for great opportunities. I think they got to win that

453
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: divisional round to lose on the road, but the taste

454
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: in the offseason will be a lot better because they

455
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: want a playoff game. At least did as well as

456
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: they did. Is Demiko's first season against the first place schedule.

457
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 4: Okay, let's talk about the other team in Texas, and

458
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 4: that is the Dallas Cowboys. General there's been some talk

459
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 4: about Mike McCarthy coming back, especially after a win the

460
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: other night against the Buccaneers and watching the Cowboys team

461
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 4: that was just eliminated play its guts out against the

462
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 4: Bucks and get a win. Is Mike McCarthy gonna stay

463
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 4: in Dallas?

464
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones was sure pumping him up afterward. You know,

465
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 3: Micah Parsons and Dak Prescott has come out publicly and

466
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 3: support By the way, Cooper Rush has played better than

467
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott, and the two times that Cooper Rush has

468
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 3: been able to play when Prescott's injured, he's been real good.

469
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 3: He's four and one the last time. So I don't

470
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 3: know if his contracts up or not, but I would

471
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: con seriously consider him as a bridge quarterback over like

472
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins. As far as McCarthy, Jerry said just glowing

473
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: things about it. If he was thinking seriously about firing him,

474
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: I don't think he I would talk like that. I

475
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: think he's looking for an excuse to keep them.

476
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: Wow.

477
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: Interesting, Well, we'll see how that goes for the Dallas Cowboys.

478
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: A few more things for you here general. As we

479
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: are in the final weekend of the NFL next week,

480
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: this week being it just feels so weird coming off

481
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: that Wednesday game and tonight with the Seahawks and the Bears.

482
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: So Caleb Williams and the Bears they'll play Seattle, Seattle

483
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: still live for the postseason.

484
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: Why did the league think that.

485
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: The Bears were gonna be good enough to put them

486
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: on this many primetime games. It is absolute insanity. And look,

487
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm speaking from a franchise that just got blown out

488
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: on national television. But there was reason for this, all right,

489
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 1: you won ten games last year and you actually have

490
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: one year division this year. The Bears are four and eleven.

491
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: They were once upon a time four and two thoughts.

492
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 3: They came on really strong last year and they at

493
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 3: the end and they used the first pick on the

494
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 3: highest rated quarterback in their Chicago. You think about Chicago,

495
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 3: the Bears, the Giants, the Jets, the forty nine ers,

496
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 3: the Browns, some of the biggest fandoms in the country

497
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 3: are really struggling. And I was say this about Caleb Williams.

498
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 3: He's gone three hundred and something, bess is without throwing

499
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 3: an interception. They're losing, They've lost nine in a row.

500
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 3: But that's an attracted because they've got talent. They got

501
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: a really good defense, and they've got a lot of

502
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: weapons on offense, and they need to use the off

503
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: season on their offensive line. And they're going to go

504
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 3: after Ben Johnson, Detroit's offensive coordinator. And then there's there

505
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: is a lot of claims that he was auditioning last

506
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 3: week when he was playing against the Bears, pulling out

507
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 3: trick plays and everything else to make himself look good.

508
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 3: But we'll see. I think the Jets is still the

509
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: best job out there, and the one I'm most interested

510
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: in is seeing where Mike Rabel ends up.

511
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: Yes, Mike Frable with Aaron Rodgers in New Jersey. Speaking

512
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 2: of New Jersey, do you think Dave All's safe?

513
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 3: You know, two years ago he was Coach of the Year.

514
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: He has been unable to get his own quarterback. I

515
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 3: believe John Marra has said he doesn't want to keep

516
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: changing coaches in GMS every three years. And it wasn't

517
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: Dabell's fault that they got rid of Barkley, and it

518
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 3: wasn't his fault that they extended Daniel Jones. So yes,

519
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: I believe both of them will be back. Joe Shane

520
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 3: the GM and Brian Davile the head coach get and

521
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 3: have a chance to get their own quarterback.

522
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon, Broncos and Bengals, both chasing a berth Bengals

523
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: a game under five hundred have to win out obviously,

524
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos nine and six Pick your winner in Cincinnati

525
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon.

526
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 3: No Bengals by far.

527
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, we'll see how that goes.

528
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow Joe Burrow's only quarterback in history seven games

529
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 3: in a row with three touchdown passes and at least

530
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty yards. He has been playing great

531
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 3: and I think he's gonna carve up that defense even

532
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 3: though it's been really good.

533
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: How about this one. The Colts will visit the Giants.

534
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 1: We know who is likely to win that game, but

535
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: you never know. Then they'll play the Jaguars. Texans, we

536
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: don't know how they're gonna handle Tennessee, Indy and Houston

537
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: could finish with the same record, and he wins out,

538
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: Texans lose to the Titans. They both go nine and eight,

539
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: But the Texans obviously clinched the division because they swept Indy.

540
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: How about that for a bizarre development.

541
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 3: Holt should win out, But because you never know which

542
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 3: Anthony Richards is gonna show up. If they run the

543
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: ball the way they did last week, they'll win these

544
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: last two games, and they'll finish nine and eight for

545
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 3: the second year in a row, and for the second

546
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: year in a row, they'll miss the playoffs.

547
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: All right, what do you have going on on Houston

548
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 2: Texans dot Com. General, not much.

549
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 3: I'll be writing Monday looking ahead instead of writing about

550
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 3: this debacle.

551
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: All right, sounds good, General, thanks a lot for joining us.

552
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 3: Mary, Thank you guys very much for having me, and

553
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: I hope you enjoy your little break we're gonna have

554
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: with the Texans being off.

555
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: All right, it'll be Saturday Sunday kind of break because

556
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: we still have shows three hours tomorrow night. Thank you

557
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: John McClain for joining us and coming up. We're gonna

558
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: play a version of who's better, more likely to happen

559
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: and either ors and stuff like that. A lot of

560
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: questions for Johnny Harris. Let's get into it, have some

561
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: fun here. We're going to keep it light here. I said,

562
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: keep it light Texans Radio. Twas the day after Christmas,

563
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: and we are still sort of stewing about what happened

564
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: with the Houston Texans losing to the Ravens. And I'm

565
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: sure every player, every coach, they're all feeling the same way.

566
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: Wanted to shake that off. But no game until a

567
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: week from we presume Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. That

568
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: Week eighteen lineup is set later because they want the

569
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: most dramatic, meaningful matchups to get set or stage, and

570
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: they want to time them out properly, like the Texans

571
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: and Colts playing last year for the win and in

572
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: situation that they were in. But right now that game

573
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything as far as the seeding. The Texans

574
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: are locked into the fourth seed right now, and the

575
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: Titans obviously going nowhere fast. But they did beat the

576
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: Texans in Houston. So we'll see what time and day

577
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: that game is. I'm betting Sunday at noon, Like we said,

578
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermin and John Harris with you, Johnny, I've got

579
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: some questions for you. It's kind of like more likely

580
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: to happen. Who's better and all that rolled into one.

581
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: Here we go, all right, who's better right now? Right now?

582
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks Lamar Jacks, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen. Pick your guy.

583
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: We do have some recency bias here perhaps, but do it.

584
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 4: Pick your fighter, my fighters. Lamar Jackson always has been,

585
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 4: always will okay. I mean I've always loved Mahomes and

586
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 4: I mean those three guys have I think what's really

587
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 4: interesting about those three guys, even though you know, Patrick

588
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 4: came in winning right away, got the AFC Championship in eighteen,

589
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 4: and he's played in every AFC championship game since.

590
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: I think right, they've got six consecutive go well, fantastic.

591
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 4: But he's gotten better as a quarterback because he's gotten smarter,

592
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 4: and that's helped him. He understands what's coming. Hey, this

593
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 4: guy's but you can hear it on the broadcast. You

594
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 4: can hear him say forty nine's coming, forty nine's coming,

595
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 4: and forty nine is coming. And I think he's gotten smart.

596
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 4: I think these three guys have all had high football IQs,

597
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 4: but they've just gotten really, really, really good with it.

598
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 4: I think Lamar does things. I'm standing right there when

599
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 4: he starts to scramble towards me, and then he pulls up.

600
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 4: He lets Denil fly by, and then the Neil gets

601
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 4: back in the picture. He makes it miss again and

602
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 4: stands there and then moves around just a little bit,

603
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 4: just enough for Isaiah likely.

604
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: To move around. He dots him in the back of

605
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: the end zone and.

606
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: Then turns away as he's doing it. It was like

607
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: he shot the jumper and turned away and he got

608
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: the touchdown pass. I wanted to sack him myself. I

609
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: don't know what you should have pulled it what he

610
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: hayes right, that would have been awesome. I don't know

611
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: what Danil's supposed to do other than I think you

612
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: just got to go at him though, and force him

613
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: to do something, right, because you can't just dance.

614
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: With him, right. I think that's all Danil really could do.

615
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 4: He was just trying to play basketball with him, and

616
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 4: so he could close the space and close the space

617
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 4: and eventually get close enough.

618
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 2: Where he could grab him.

619
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 4: But I just think Lamar with Derrick Henry changes the

620
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 4: calculus you think about Josh.

621
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: Allen, James Cook. James Cook's fine.

622
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 4: James Cook doesn't scare you, Isaia Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, They're fine.

623
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty two scares you terrifying.

624
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 4: So you put him with Lamar playing as well as

625
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 4: Lamar is playing. And that's why I would say right now,

626
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 4: and this is if there is any good news in

627
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 4: a sense, there's any good news, it's the fact that

628
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 4: the Ravens more than likely are the two or the three.

629
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 4: I don't think I can get to the two, but

630
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 4: they're the three. They're pretty much the three if they win.

631
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 4: If they win, they're the three seed. Well, the good

632
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 4: thing about them being the three seed and you're the

633
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 4: four seed is you don't see them until the AFC

634
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 4: Championship game. Now it would be in Baltimore, sign but yeah,

635
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 4: absolutely that would be the next time you would face them.

636
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 4: But now that would imply that you beat Pittsburgh and

637
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 4: you go to Kansas City and you do something that

638
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 4: you haven't done. AT's beat Kansas City in a playoff

639
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 4: game in Kansas City, and now a lot of teams

640
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 4: haven't done, and you would in the AFC Championship streak.

641
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 4: That's a lot to ask, But maybe the next ten days,

642
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 4: guys can get some rest and get get minds right,

643
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 4: get bodies right, and kind of get back going the

644
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 4: way that we know this team can be, especially number seven.

645
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 4: So I think Ravens right now to me are that

646
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 4: team and Lamar Jackson is that quarterback.

647
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: Okay, more catches the rest of the way, This is

648
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: the next one. More catches the rest of the way,

649
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: regular season finale, whatever happens in the postseason for the

650
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Deontay Johnson who or I got to pick

651
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: one here, I'll go Robert Woods. Deontay Johnson or Robert Woods.

652
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: More catches the rest of the way.

653
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 4: I'll still go with Bobby Shrees. I'm really interested.

654
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 3: You know.

655
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 4: It was frustrating last night as I'm standing there and

656
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 4: I'm walking down the sidelines and I see Stefan Diggs

657
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 4: standing next to Deontay Johnson.

658
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, man, what if you had those two together?

659
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: Holy cow?

660
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 4: But I think I'm curious to see what Deontay is

661
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 4: just such a wild card because you just don't know

662
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 4: what's the plan. How much of this offense will he

663
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 4: be able to learn in a short amount of time?

664
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 4: How much will you use him. I'm still going to

665
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 4: go with Robert Woods. He's still reliable. CJ made that

666
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 4: one throat to him. I can't remember if that was

667
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 4: on third down or not, but he still goes to

668
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 4: Robert Woods a number of times during the game. So

669
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Robert Woods, just because I'm trying

670
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 4: to envision how the Deontay Johnson situation will unfold well.

671
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: And I don't know. Let me ask you this.

672
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: If the Texans decide to rest Stroud and a bunch

673
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: of starters against the Tennessee Titans, does Deontay Johnson still play?

674
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: I would say yes, even if it's Mills. They just

675
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: want to get him in the Houston offense. Getting to

676
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: know the plays that yes and play period. That's what

677
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: I think will happen. I think they will try.

678
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 4: And get him, like, look, we should talk to Bill

679
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 4: Brian about this. This is the game plan for this offense, right,

680
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 4: learn this game plan. You got ten days to learn

681
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 4: this game plan. I know they're not them put the

682
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 4: game plan in, but learn this the whole playbook. You

683
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 4: can kind of learn as you go, but learned learned

684
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 4: this part so you can go out on a field,

685
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 4: know where you're supposed to line up.

686
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: Where you're supposed to do what you're supposed to do.

687
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 2: I expect him.

688
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 4: I expect him to play against Tennessee how much don't know,

689
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 4: but I do think they'll try and get him in

690
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 4: there and get him, get him some touches and see

691
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 4: what he can do. And so yeah, let's let's let

692
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 4: it fly it if it's Davis, you know, let Davis

693
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 4: work with them, and you're right, get him, get him

694
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 4: into the Houston offense. But in practices, let's cej throw

695
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 4: to him, Let Davis throw to him, let him get comfortable,

696
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 4: you know, with all the quarterbacks that the Texans have

697
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 4: just to get that field but then get in the

698
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 4: Houston offense on the on presumably we don't know for sure,

699
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 4: presumably Sunday the fifth against the Tennessee Titans.

700
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: We will not hear from Tamico Ryans until Monday. That's

701
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: his next availability. There was nothing today, no day after

702
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: the game.

703
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: Stuff.

704
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: Have they made the decision yet in your opinion on

705
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: whether they play, quote the starters. Of course some starters

706
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: would play. You can't rest. Everybody have to feel the team.

707
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: You have fifty three people on the roster and you

708
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: have the practice squad elevations, so people are gonna have

709
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: to play, but rest certain guys. Do you think they've

710
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: made that decision yet?

711
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, yes, I think so.

712
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: Barring health, I mean yeah, I believe any anybody's got

713
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 1: a lingering this or that, And who knows what Stroud has.

714
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: Now he's not on the injury report. I believe no,

715
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: he's not. Exactly that's that's not.

716
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 4: That or this is your list of guys, These are

717
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 4: your these are these are your guys?

718
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 2: How many of these guys are banged.

719
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 4: Up that we have to absolutely keep ont of the lineup?

720
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 4: How many guys can take another week of rest because

721
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 4: more than likely you're gonna play on Saturday the eleventh.

722
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 4: So again, you can't run. You can't rest everybody. That's

723
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 4: just it's not allowed.

724
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 2: You can't.

725
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 4: But I think you have to pick guys that are

726
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 4: banged up, guys that have played in sixteen games today.

727
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 4: Point how many of those guys can you rest? And

728
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 4: even if you do dress certain guys or have the

729
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 4: idea that some guys are gonna play, and maybe the

730
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 4: thought is you gonna play quarter I remember in twenty

731
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 4: sixteen we played Tennessee and that defense was on one

732
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 4: and Clowney was banged up, so Clowning didn't play at

733
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 4: all in that game, I correct the Titans game, but

734
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 4: Whitney did.

735
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: But when he played a series, oh okay, that was it?

736
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 2: All right?

737
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 4: Well maybe, and then they got everybody else in because

738
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 4: they realized it didn't.

739
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: Savage actually play. But he it was different. He had

740
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 1: to play because he hadn't played yet. He had to play.

741
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: There's no question he had to play. I think, of

742
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: course quarterbacks. One start.

743
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 2: It was that Bengals game. That was it because he

744
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 2: came up with a bench against Jacksonville. Now this is

745
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 2: Tom Savage versus c J. Strousa. I get it.

746
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: But there are those who would say c. J. Stroud's

747
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 1: got to get back into rhythm here with the offense.

748
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that does anything for you

749
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: to face the Titans and feel like you did pretty

750
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: well for a couple of series.

751
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 2: Does it? Maybe it does. I think there are a lot.

752
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: Of ways you can answer that question, and I think

753
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: it's all subject to interpretation. All right, let's keep it

754
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: going here. Back to the Ravens and back to the back.

755
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry best back you've ever seen live? Is it

756
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry or the field? Best back you've ever seen live?

757
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: So you're on the sideline doing these games and you

758
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: get to watch everybody up close and personal. Is Derek

759
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: Henry the best NFL running back that you've ever seen

760
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: up close and personal?

761
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 2: There is no question he is, Okay, no doubt nobody.

762
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 4: He's so unique because he's six three and a half

763
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 4: six ' four, he's two fifty and you see his

764
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 4: acceleration through the holes, Like I'm just thinking of the

765
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 4: backs that I've seen just this year, and how fast

766
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 4: Derek was accelerating through the hole. To me, there's like,

767
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 4: I haven't seen anybody like that. Now.

768
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 2: The Ravens blocked up pretty well.

769
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 4: They had some good place games and things I can't

770
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm thinking of since twenty fourteen some of

771
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 4: the best ones that I've seen, and they all pale

772
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 4: in comparison. And the irony is is that he gets

773
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 4: drafted in sixteen, sixteen, seventeen eighteen, really not a whole lot.

774
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 4: Nineteen he starts to really arrive because he has that

775
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 4: game against the Jaguars, and then but he's banged up

776
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 4: when we see him for that key game in Nashville,

777
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 4: and so we held him in eighty three yards and

778
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 4: it's like, well, you know, this is one of the

779
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 4: better games he's had against us, but yeah, he's not

780
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 4: gonna get much.

781
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, that second.

782
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 4: Game he played our JV defense in a game we

783
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 4: didn't have to have, and he goes for two hundred.

784
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 4: Then both games in twenty twenty he goes for over

785
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 4: two hundred. Then twenty one he's hurt, so we don't

786
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 4: face him. In twenty one and twenty two he goes

787
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 4: for another two hundred. Somehow we slowed him down in

788
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 4: the game up in Nashville at the end of twenty

789
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 4: two and twenty three was I think to the better.

790
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 4: I don't think it was his fault. Andre talked about

791
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 4: this in the broadcast on Wednesday night. The offensive line

792
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 4: that was in front of him just wasn't getting it done.

793
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 4: And this offensive scheme that Baltimore has just provides a

794
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 4: lot of downhill running lanes.

795
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: He picked the right place.

796
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 4: I know he lives in Dallas in the offseason and

797
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 4: really wanted to go to Dallas. He picked the right place,

798
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 4: the right place for him to be next to Lamar,

799
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 4: And once they started clicking, You're like, oh boy, because

800
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 4: in two games within five days he had one hundred

801
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 4: and sixty four against Pittsburgh hundred and sixty two. And what

802
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 4: do you have last night one forty seven say he

803
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 4: went for over three hundred plus yards and span of

804
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 4: five days.

805
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean, look, every want to talk about Lamar is

806
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: the MVP, that's MVP running right. Yeah, absolutely, And Sakuon

807
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: Barkley is having an MVP caliber season as well. But

808
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 1: Henry's the best back I've ever seen. And yeah, Emitt

809
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: Smith played in the first game in Texans history. You know,

810
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: we've seen Emitt Smith, but he was beyond it at

811
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: that point. It was, I mean, that was well past

812
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: his prime. So I've seen him live, right, I've seen

813
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: Ladany and Tomlinson, and I've seen Fred Taylor see some

814
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: really good backs Edgar and James early days with the Colts,

815
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: early Texans days.

816
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: But this is the best back I've ever seen live.

817
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: And I'll say it like this, and I've said this before,

818
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: I don't remember ever seeing a running back where when

819
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: he's in the backfield it's terrifying. Yes it is. It

820
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: is absolutely staking. Oh my gosh, what's going to happen?

821
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 2: Now?

822
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: Last year you got over on him, big historic performance

823
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: up there, great performance here, and I thought, oh, could

824
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: you do that again? Apparently not, and he did what

825
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: he did Christmas and it really hurt a lot. He

826
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: is the best back I've ever seen live.

827
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 4: It goes to show that if you put a talented

828
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 4: back behind a really solid, strong offensive line, where good

829
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 4: offensive scheme, you've got a chance. Sakuon Barkley goes to Philly.

830
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 4: He didn't pound his head against the wall with the Giants.

831
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 4: He would dance in the back to him get two

832
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 4: three yards of Giants fans and get all mad. But

833
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 4: it's like, where was he going to go that weren't blocking,

834
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 4: He won't open things up. He now then gets to Philly,

835
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 4: Kellen Moore gives him place. He means he takes one block,

836
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 4: He takes his seventy five yards to the house. Against

837
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 4: the Commanders last week, it's like you put a really

838
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 4: talented running back behind a good offensive line with good

839
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 4: play scheme.

840
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: Look at the Ravens, look at the Eagles, look at

841
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 2: a Coster back.

842
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, it's it just goes to show you can't

843
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 4: have that.

844
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 2: You can definitely do that, no question.

845
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: How about this, when we're talking about backs, Joe Mixon

846
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: is seven yards away from one thousand yards.

847
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 2: They might sit him against Tennessee. In fact, if.

848
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: I were them, there's no way Joe Mixon's playing in

849
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: this game. But maybe they play him.

850
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

851
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: Nico Collins is thirty two yards away from one thousand

852
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: yards and missed five games, and there's no way I'm

853
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:48,959
Speaker 1: playing him in this game.

854
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 2: Now.

855
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: Again, they could play because we might feel definitely on

856
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: Monday Tuesday. These aren't high decisions to make, obviously, And

857
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: I was asking you if they had already decided these things,

858
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: but you gotta be very careful. I know you want

859
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: to see everybody play and get rhythm. And McClain talked

860
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: about getting a win and feeling that winning feeling.

861
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 2: I get it. I totally do.

862
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: But hey, Monday, after the Titans game, win or lose, Bam,

863
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: it's playoffs and the whole world changes. Everybody's oh and oh,

864
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: it's a brand new season, and you gotta get ready

865
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: for that. It's still a remarkable opportunity you have, and

866
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: you got to shake off all this losing stuff and

867
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: get ready for whoever you get to face, most likely

868
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers.

869
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

870
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

871
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 4: And here's the other thing that's been a problem on

872
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 4: short weeks this year. You've not been very good on

873
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 4: short weeks this year. Jets Ravens he had a short

874
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 4: week for Kansas City. Short weeks, so you're probably gonna

875
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 4: be one day short because you're gonna play on Sunday

876
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 4: and then more than likely have to play on Saturday. Now,

877
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 4: last year worked out for well, you played Saturday to Saturday,

878
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 4: you played Saturday night. But that was a short week

879
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 4: playing on that week, but you got it done. So

880
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 4: look at this point in the season, guys are banged up.

881
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 4: You gotta get minds right, you gotta get bodies right,

882
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 4: and you got to get back right before the playoffs.

883
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 4: And then everybody's zero and zeros, they say, and you

884
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 4: just have to find some of the magic that you had,

885
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 4: and you're gonna have to do it without tanking, without

886
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 4: steph and somehow deal with it, somehow find a way.

887
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: All right, we have one more quick segment. I've got

888
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: two more questions for you. We'll wrap that up next

889
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: here on Texans All Access. All right, final venture into

890
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: the program tonight day after Christmas. And yeah, we've talked

891
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: a lot about what happened against the Baltimore Ravens. Really

892
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 1: painful loss for the Houston Texans as they are nine

893
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: and seven, same record as last year after sixteen games,

894
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: with the finale coming up a week from probably Sunday

895
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans. And we've been doing the questions

896
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: for Johnny and discussing various topics like best back you've

897
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: ever seen live, Like who's the best quarterback right now?

898
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: Like will Deontay Johnson have more catches than receiver? X

899
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: I didn't mean Xavier there, but receiver Robert Woods. Whoever

900
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: name a receiver hut? But I got another one for you.

901
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: We talked about the quarterbacks of these teams. Who was

902
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: the best team right now? Among the Chiefs, Bills, and Ravens.

903
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: The most dangerous team because the Ravens bring a lot

904
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: of different elements running game, pretty good defense. I know

905
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: they're number one against the run in very low statistically

906
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: against the pass. Texans couldn't take advantage of that. The

907
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs bring some defense to the party, no doubt. The

908
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: Bills defense has been hemorrhaging, but they can score enough

909
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,240
Speaker 1: points to beat anybody.

910
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: So who's the best team in the AFC? Neutral fields go?

911
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 4: If the Chiefs had a little bit better run game,

912
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 4: like I mean, Pachecho healthy, fully healthy, Creem Hunt, I

913
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 4: don't know. I think Kareem Hunt's near It's near time

914
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 4: for him. But if the Chiefs, I'm not saying Derrick Henry,

915
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 4: but let's say you gave the Chiefs Josh Jacobs oh

916
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 4: like they'd be unstoppable.

917
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, brillly unstoppable.

918
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 4: Because of the way Mahomes is playing and the fact

919
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 4: that the Chiefs were able to take their left guard

920
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 4: and turn him into one of the best left tackles

921
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 4: in the league in all of like two hours is amazing.

922
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 4: What Joe Toney is doing over at left tackle for

923
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 4: the Chiefs is just incredible. I Mean, they got some

924
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 4: dude named Mike calli Endo at left guard, like really,

925
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 4: and they rolled up twenty seven on US twenty nine

926
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 4: on the.

927
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 2: Steelers on the road and probably could have put up more.

928
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say the Chiefs because one element that the

929
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 4: Chiefs have that the Ravens don't and the Bills probably

930
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 4: don't either, is they know how to win those big games.

931
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: They've done it different ways.

932
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 4: The way that the Chiefs won the AFC Championship last

933
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 4: year at Baltimore was different than how they beat the Bills.

934
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 4: That AFC Championship game was different than how they beat

935
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 4: the Bengals the year before.

936
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 2: They know different ways to win in the playoffs. And

937
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: that's where we're near.

938
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say right now it's the Chiefs won

939
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 4: the Ravens two and the Bills three.

940
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: Like we said with mcclan there's no way I'd pick

941
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. And even though those other teams have

942
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: a lot of firepower and it would not shock me

943
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: if either of those was able to get through. Yep,

944
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: I still have to go with the Chiefs and hope

945
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: to see them again. Do see them again? That means

946
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: you've done something good in the wildcard round and you

947
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: are locked into that fourth seed in the wild card round.

948
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: All right, the game, here's your final question. Okay, the

949
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: game was streamed on Netflix. I don't know if you've

950
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: heard this because we were doing our own broadcast.

951
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 2: Yep, it was on Netflix.

952
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: Better original programming among the streaming services? You got Netflix

953
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: or I'll give you the field here, Apple, Hulu, Peacock.

954
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 2: Who do you got better original programming?

955
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 4: Now?

956
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 2: You want some examples here of what we've got going.

957
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: Netflix obviously originated a lot of this stuff because they

958
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: had House of Cars and that just took off back

959
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: in the day. But they have the Crown. Did the

960
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: Crowd start on Netflix? Or was that on PBS? Ridgerton, Ozark,

961
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: Stranger Things, Huge, Narcos. I mean, they've got a ton

962
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: of stuff, But hang on, Hulu's got some entries. The

963
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: Handmaid's Tail did really well. Only murders in the building

964
00:45:59,520 --> 00:45:59,959
Speaker 1: going on?

965
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 2: Right?

966
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: The Bear is an original yeah show? All right, that's good?

967
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: Now?

968
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,959
Speaker 1: Apple I'm not a big Apple guy because I still

969
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: have an Android. Don't at me. But Apple has some

970
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: really great original shows. I mean Severance, they had the

971
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: Morning Is at the Morning Show.

972
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 2: That was really good. Silo, I love Silo. That's good.

973
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: Slow Horses totally underrated with Gary Oldman. I love that program.

974
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: So Apple has a ton of great shows. Who's got

975
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: it job?

976
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 2: Okay? So I don't know. There's something about Netflix.

977
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 4: I love. The sports stuff is great. Yeah, the sports stuff.

978
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 4: The documentaries have been fantastic. And I was watching the

979
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 4: Chief Steelers game in here sitting studio on my computer.

980
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 4: That's where I had it just out on my computer.

981
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 4: It was pristine quality. I thought it was great. I

982
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 4: thought JJ did an excellent job with Nate Burleson. And

983
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 4: I think that was I an Eagle because Noah was doing.

984
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 2: A game here. I believe Eagles did.

985
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 4: I thought Netflix did a really good job with it.

986
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 4: By the way, have you gone back and watch the

987
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 4: Beyonce show.

988
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 2: I have not watched the whole thing now. It was

989
00:46:58,560 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: pretty excellent. It was pretty good.

990
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 4: I got down on the field for probably the last

991
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 4: probably I missed about a quarter of it, but I

992
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 4: got on the field I think when the TSU band

993
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 4: was playing and that was that was awesome.

994
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 2: That was really cool. Now that intro part was definitely

995
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 2: pre recorded. Yes, yes, that was definitely. There was no

996
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 2: way that was NRG Stadium.

997
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: I'd go to NRG Stadium every day and we don't

998
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: have all that. It does not look like she walked

999
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: for about one hundred yards. I'm like, we don't have

1000
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: one hundred yards of whatever that is. There's no chance. Yeah,

1001
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: but they did a great job.

1002
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 2: It was a great, great show. I thought she did

1003
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 2: a great job.

1004
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: All Right, that's it for tonight Friday Night. Got a

1005
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 1: full show. How about that three hour block Texans Radio.

1006
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: Some great content we're gonna feature for you. We'll all

1007
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: get over that loss and we'll move on the teams

1008
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: in the postseason. Gotta find a way, gotta find a

1009
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: way to resurrect things and be at your best wild

1010
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: Card weekend somehow, some way. Let's see how and if

1011
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: they can do it. That's it for the show this evening.

1012
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,240
Speaker 1: Have a great night, Go Texans.
