I am your host, John Harris, 12 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: so glad to be with you. What a weekend we 13 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: have for you. Not only is city Houston, but just 14 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: football in general. This is such a huge weekend. Football 15 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: playoffs in the state of Texas are actually all over 16 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: the country right now. Some teams in some high schools 17 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: and some states have already played their state championship games 18 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: and they're done. But the bigger states, Florida, Texas, they 19 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: got their championships coming up. I think I think Texas 20 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: still has three weeks this and two others, but you 21 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: got that going on. Your championship weekend going on in 22 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: college football, got Baylor and O you tomorrow morning up 23 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: in Arlington, you've got the you got the Pack twelve championship, 24 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: which is huge. Tonight Utah against Oregon. So that's kicking 25 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: off and I don't know about an hour or so. 26 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: I believe I could be wrong on that, but either way, 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: you got that going on. And then of course Sunday 28 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 1: you've got a full slate of NFL games, including your 29 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Houston Texans taking on the Denver Broncos as they come 30 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: into town with a four and eight record, which I 31 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: don't think it's indicative of where Denver has been this year. 32 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: I know Bill Parcel says, well you are what your 33 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: record says you are. Broncos lost three games by two points, 34 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: and all three of those games were I don't say 35 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: flukey endings, but games the Broncos not only could have won, 36 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: but should have won. Now, the flip side of that 37 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: is when they've played a couple of really good teams. 38 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: The Chiefs at home they got beat thirty to six. 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: They played the Bills on the road they lost twenty 40 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: to three. So and the Broncos are kind of all 41 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: over the place, but they'll be starting a rookie quarterback, 42 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: Drew Locke for the second time. Got to win last week. 43 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: Kind of a weird ending to that Chargers game where 44 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: they got an interference call and opportunity kick feel at 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: the end. Brandon McManus. This one he made when last 46 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: year against us he missed that gave us a win. 47 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: His kick being made the other day gave the Broncos 48 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: a win. So four and eight coming in here against 49 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: eight and four Houston Texans. So we have got plenty 50 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: to talk about on the show tonight. We have got 51 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: a great interview with Drew Doherty coming up in the 52 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: next segment. You're gonna want to hear this weekend is 53 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: my Cause, my cleats, and each of the players have 54 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: got a charity or a cause close to their heart 55 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be wearing it on their cleats. And 56 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: one of those guys is DeAndre Carter and his is 57 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: jdrf Well, so happens that DeAndre Carter has Type one diabetes, 58 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: just like a good friend of ours, Drew Doherty. So 59 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: those two sat down and had a great interview. We'll 60 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: have that for you in a little bit. We also 61 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: are gonna give you our first community carty in first 62 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: glance keys the game, how do you beat the Broncos, 63 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: So we got that for you. Markvi Nnemyer's gonna stop 64 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: by now. On a Friday, I typically have a segment 65 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: where market I talk about the game, and then the 66 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: next segment I talk about my predictions. But we're kind 67 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: of jam packed tonight, so I figured, you know what, 68 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: let's do both. I bring Mark into my world in 69 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: some sense to do our predictions shut up against the spread. 70 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: So we'll have that. Then our deep plant in one 71 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: on one interview of the week is with John Weeks DPC, 72 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: who sat down with the longest tenured member of this 73 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: organization at least in the locker room, John Weeks. So 74 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: we'll have that for you, and then we flip it 75 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: over to the players in our final site, gonna call 76 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: it a players segment. So we're gonna do go a 77 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: little bit further with DeAndre Carter with our Drews Dirty Dozen. 78 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: We've also got the Final Word this week with Drew 79 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: Doherty as well, and we got a little bit more 80 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: b Scard TV for you. So we turned out last 81 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: segment over to the players to get them the microphone 82 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: and let them have a chance to chop it up. 83 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: So plenty or you on the show. Now, we kick 84 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: off every Friday show with hot reads and they're brought 85 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: to you. Buy a Geico fifteen minutes can save you 86 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: fifteen percent or more on motorcycle and or car insurance. 87 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: And this week, as every week, we start the head 88 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: coach of your Houston Texans, Bill O'Brien, who sat down 89 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: with Mark Vandamir earlier today. Coach, let's start with special 90 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: teams here because Deante Spencer is a good return guy. 91 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,559 Speaker 1: And I know kickoffs and returns are down in the league, 92 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: but they've had some production. Yeah you know, I'll tell 93 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: you Spencer, I think it's one of the top two 94 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: or three guys that we faced that's a return. He 95 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: does both returns, punts and kicks kickoffs very fast, very quick, 96 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: not very big, but built, built very well, so hard 97 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: to tackle. And we've got to do a great job. 98 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: We've got to do a great job. Punny, we don't 99 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: really want to punt, but sometimes you have to punt, 100 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: and so we have to do a great job with 101 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: the and then we have to do a great job 102 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: directing our kicks with Kayimi. So it's it's a big 103 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: challenge for us. What's been the big key in your 104 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: recent success last couple of years and keeping the returns 105 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: to a minimum? Yeah, I think I think it's all 106 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: about the combination of players and coaching, you know. I 107 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: think that the that the uh you know, Brad Celi 108 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: and Tracy Smith do a great job of giving these 109 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: guys a very simple way to approach things. And then 110 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: we have good players. You know, We've got a lot 111 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,799 Speaker 1: of players that uh uh can can run and can tackle, 112 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: and our very physical players at different positions, you know, 113 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: whether it's linebacker, running back, wide receiver, safety, guys that 114 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: can really run and tackle. And I think that that's 115 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: that's really the big deal. I know, you want to 116 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: run the ball better, but you're also top two in 117 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: the league in big plays. However you categorize that, So 118 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: how do you balance the two? Yeah, No, we need 119 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: to run the ball better. I mean I think that 120 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: last week, I would say it was more on me 121 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: than it was on the players. I think I've got 122 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 1: to do a better job of getting these runs called 123 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: in different situations, different schematic runs. But but I know 124 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: that we have to run the ball better. Our guys 125 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: are going to really try to do that. We got 126 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: to be balanced, and if we feel like we can 127 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: take a shot down the field, we'll try to do that. 128 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: I don't think Denver really allows you to take many 129 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: shots down the field. I think Vick does a good 130 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: job of not, you know, scheming things upward. The ball 131 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: is gonna be thrown over their heads, so it's gonna 132 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: be challenging. Well, when you do take a shot, is 133 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: that a scheme thing or a field thing? How do 134 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: you define that? A little bit of both. I mean, 135 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: I think you know, any good shot is always about 136 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: the timing of the call. You know, anytime you're you 137 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: feel like in your mind as a play caller you're 138 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: trying to force that, it's usually not gonna work. So 139 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: if you feel like you're in the rhythm of a 140 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: drive and you know your quarterback feels pretty hot, you 141 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: can just have that instinct of feeling about how your 142 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: quarterback's playing and who's in the game and uh, you 143 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: know at receiver, and then who's in the game for 144 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: the defense. You know that's that those are all the factors. 145 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: How far back did you go for your Drew Lock 146 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: prep for this game. Yeah, no, we you know, we 147 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: studied him a lot. We study all the quarterbacks in 148 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: the draft. You know, very smart, very accurate. Uh. You know, 149 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: a guy that does a lot of good things. He's athletic. 150 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: You know, these guys come into the league. You know, 151 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: we face Minshew, we face Kyle Allen. Now we're facing 152 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: Drew and it's a challenge. I mean, you don't have 153 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: a lot of information to go on. I think the 154 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: big thing for us is we've got to be disciplined. 155 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: We've got to stop the run. I think Philip Lindsay's 156 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: the key to that offense. He does a great job 157 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: run in the football. So it'll start with that and 158 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: then we'll do the best we can against Drew. All Right, 159 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: you're seventeen and one when you don't turn the ball over, 160 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: so you always tell us that that that's the most 161 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: important thing. Really Yeah, yeah, And I think that when 162 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: you look at you know, we talked about this when 163 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: we played the Patriots, and I think with us, any 164 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: when you don't turn the ball over, you've got a 165 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: real chance to win the game, even if you're you know, 166 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: maybe offensively, you're not playing great or defensively. If you're 167 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: taking the ball away and then offensively and in your 168 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: return game you take care of the football, you've got 169 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: a real chance to win games. Coach thanks a lot 170 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: for joining us. A good luck, thank you man. So 171 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: good stuff from coach Brian right there till he is 172 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: in game mode all ready. All right, let's get to 173 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: our next hot read. It is the status report. Well 174 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: it's injury report slash status report. When we get to 175 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: Friday for a Sunday game, this is the one you 176 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: care about. A lot of people will put up injury 177 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: reports and all that kind of stuff. You know, every 178 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: team has to do it throughout the week, but this 179 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: is the one that you want to know because you 180 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: find out who's in, who's questionable, who's doubtful, and over 181 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: the years, obviously you can paytihle case this guy, hand 182 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: this guy, and a lot of times they get labeled 183 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: with the questionable tag. And that's kind of the way 184 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: it is for the Texans this week. Now. Yesterday I 185 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: got a little worried because I saw Jordan Nakins pop 186 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: up as a limited participant in practice deal with the knee. 187 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: He was a full participant today, and he's in, so okay, 188 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: good news there now out for the text. Taiwan Jones. 189 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: He's been dealing with hamstring. He injured that during the 190 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: Patriots game and one of the special teams plays, so 191 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: he is out for this one. He's the only Texan 192 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: ruled out on the limited participation side. Five guys, some 193 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: very important ones here, Garyon Conley, will Fuller, Bradley Roby, 194 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: Brendan Scarlett, Carlos Watkins. They are all limited now. They 195 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: have been limited in practice, limited all week and they 196 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: are all questionable. So fingers crossed that everybody will be 197 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: ready to go, but they are all listens questionable out. 198 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones, questionable, Conley with a hip, Fuller with that hammy, 199 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: Bradley Roby deal with a hamstring, Antatoe, Brendon Scarlett that shoulder. 200 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: Carlos Watkins, who heard his hamstring earlier, I'm sorry, in 201 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: that Patriots game, Patriots game, Colts game, and the Colts game, 202 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: so he he was out of the Patriots game dealing 203 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: with that, trying to get back for this week, which 204 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: would be kind of nice because Carlos is really I 205 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: think taking some steps ahead and stepped forward in his game, 206 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: So Jones out, Conley full of Robie Scarlett, Watkins questionable. 207 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: Jordan Aikins a full participant today in practice. Deal with 208 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: that knee. That was good to see. So he is 209 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: in now for the Broncos. A key A couple of 210 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: key notes. Number one Radley Chubb. It's been a while, 211 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: but since we're playing Broncos, it's going to bring us 212 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: back up. Bradley Chubb, who I think is going to 213 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: be one of the better pass rushers in the league 214 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: in due time. Towards ACL week three, I think it 215 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: was at home against the Bears, he has been out. 216 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: He's been an IR. He is out also on IR, 217 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: and this just happened last week. Derek Wolf had seven 218 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: sacks on the year. I believe that was the lead 219 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: for the Broncos. He is out of this game because 220 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: he was placed on IR earlier this week. So two 221 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: of Denver's top five overall players out of this game. 222 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: Ronald Larry, Guard, starting right guard, will be out dealing 223 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: with a concussion. He was a DNP all week, did 224 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: not clearly concussion protocol, so he is out. The other 225 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: big name in that mix that people want to know. 226 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: He was out last week is von Miller. He was 227 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: a limited participating a limited participant in practice all week 228 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: long Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. He is listed as questionable now. 229 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: This quote came from Vaughan earlier today, when asked if 230 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: he will play Sunday in Houston, he said, and I quote, 231 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: if I can't get my exotic movements back, then, in 232 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: my opinion, I shouldn't be out there. I'm doing whatever 233 00:11:53,520 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: I can to get out there. I usually heal like Wolverine. Oh. 234 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: Von Miller questionable for this game against your Texans. Also 235 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: questionable for this game against the Texans is Juan James 236 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: right tackle. Now he's been out for a few weeks. 237 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: Millard just missed last week. James has been out for 238 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: a few weeks. Eli Wilkinson had been the guy at 239 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: right tackle, but it appeared that Juan James was targeting 240 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: this game to get back for it, not for any 241 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 1: particular reason, but just to get back for this game. 242 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 1: He was a full participant in practice throughout the week. 243 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: He is still listed as questionable, but he did practice 244 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: all week long. Also limited was Malik Read outside linebacker, 245 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: a guy that had to step in for Von Miller 246 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: last week and playing the outside. He was a DNP 247 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: earlier in the week, but then was a limited participant 248 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: as the week worn limited Today he is questionable. So 249 00:12:55,080 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: out for the Broncos starting right guard Ron Leary, questionable 250 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: for the Broncos starting right tackle Juwan James, Malik Reed, 251 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: and of course one of the greatest pass rushers of 252 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: all time, Von Millard. Now, if Wolf and Chubb and 253 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: Miller are all out, then the Texans offensively had better 254 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: be able to do what it is they want to 255 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: do every single down. Those are three of the better 256 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: defensive players I've seen over the years. I've been down 257 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: on the sidelines and watching that defense last year with 258 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: all three of them, they I don't say they wrecked 259 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: the game. They had the potentially wrecked the game each 260 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: one of them. I believe that had a sack all 261 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: three of them. Wolf may have had a bunch. Wolf 262 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: had two sacks last week before he went out. I 263 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: believe it was an elbow injury and he was placed 264 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: on ir this week. That's gonna leave the interior the 265 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: Broncos defense thin. If Von Miller doesn't play, a Malik 266 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: Reed doesn't play, it leaves the exterior the edges thin 267 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: for the Broncos on defense against the Texans offense. So 268 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: we'll see. As I mentioned von Miller, I my gut 269 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: tells me that Vaughn is gonna want to play in 270 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: this one to get back on in the field. He 271 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: had not missed a game before last week, heading back 272 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: all the way to twenty thirteen when he had torn 273 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: his ACL that year that was his second, no third 274 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: year in the league. It was his third year, had 275 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: a great rookie year, good second year, and then twenty 276 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: thirteen he towards ACL. Came back from that two years 277 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: later it was a Super Bowl. MVP man has played 278 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: at that particular level. He's a monster block. He should 279 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: go to the Hall of Fame. I think he's one 280 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: of the better pass rushers we've ever seen. And I 281 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: remember seeing him in college thinking, whoa boy, good luck 282 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: if you got to block this guy. And he has 283 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: played at that particular level all in his entire all 284 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: the way through his career. But he had not missed 285 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: a game, did he all the way back to twenty thirteen. 286 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: So he had played fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, and 287 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: almost ten games of nineteen, eleven games of nineteen before 288 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: I had to sit out last week's game against the Chargers, 289 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: so Von Miller questionable heading into this one. And I 290 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: would imagine there are probably some Maggie's thinking, Hey, I'm 291 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: gonna go to this game because on one side, I 292 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: got Colin Gillespia, Aggie Hero. On the other side, I 293 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: got Von Miller, Aggie Hero. I mean, this is a 294 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: Texas A and m LoveFest. What happened with those two 295 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: guys on the sideline for each particular team. So there 296 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: you go, Taiwan Jones out for your Texans, Conley Fuller, 297 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: Robie Scarlett Watkins questionable for the Broncos, Leary is out, 298 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: Von Malik read and Juan James questionable for the Broncos. 299 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: That is your status slash injury report. And those are 300 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: your hot reads, brought to you by Geico fifteen minutes 301 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: to save you fifteen percent or more on car ant 302 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: or motorcycle insurance. Coming up next, we got one of 303 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: I think the better interviews that you're gonna hear on 304 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: Texans All Access in any year. Gandre Carter is gonna 305 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: step by and talk about his cause, his cleats. That'll 306 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: happen on Sunday. We got that for you next on 307 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: Texans All Access. One of my favorite groups in this 308 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: entire world are all my teachers out there. So I 309 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: am calling all of my Houston area teachers. You want 310 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: to bring a little Texas football to your classroom and 311 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: set up for Toros Mathtros presented by Conico Phillips. Toros 312 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: Matris is a video series designed to help third fourth 313 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: graders learn how to tackle math in the classroom. Go 314 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: to Houston Texas dot com slash Toro's Mathros to learn more. 315 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Texans All Access. I'm your host, Sean Harris, 316 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: football analyst and sideline reporter for your Houston Texans. And 317 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: I use that nugget about teachers now. I read that. 318 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: I think every Wednesday and Friday, maybe Monday two about 319 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: Toros Matros presented by Conico Phillips. I read that because 320 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: I love teachers. I'll always have. I grew up the 321 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: son of two teachers, with my mom teaching math, my 322 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: dad teaching history. My dad was a coach. He coached football, basketball, baseball, track, 323 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: he coached all the sports you know. He did all that. 324 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: Our next guest is actually a teacher as well, DeAndre Carter. 325 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: In between stints in the NFL, he stepped into the 326 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: classroom as a substitute teacher back in his home state 327 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: of California in Sacramento. So he's been in a classroom 328 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: and I think he would be a really, really good teacher. 329 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I would love to see 330 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: how he I just watch how he is on the field, 331 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: and obviously we see him play, but just his way, 332 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: I think he would be really good no matter what 333 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: grade kids he would end up teaching. Now the other 334 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: thing that people in fact, I was shocked when I 335 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: heard this, but DeAndre Carter is also he deals with 336 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: type one diabetes. He's been insolent dependent diabetics since his 337 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: freshman year of high school. And he on Sunday will 338 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: be wearing blue and cherry red cleats with a white 339 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: JDFR jd r F logo on them. It's an organization 340 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: that he is has been with he obviously is fighting 341 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: for to help them find it here for type one diabetes. 342 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: So he's not alone. On Sunday, the Texans are going 343 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: to wear their custom cleats for their fourth annual My Cause, 344 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: My Cleats campaign. After the game, players have an opportunity 345 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: to raise funds for their causes by auctioning off those 346 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: cleats at NFL auction or one hundred percent of the 347 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 1: funds raised will be donated to their selected charities. And 348 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: obviously jd r F hits really close to home for 349 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: Drew Doherty and he sat down with DeAndre Carter, who 350 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: will wear those cleats proudly as a Type one diabetic. Drew, Well, 351 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: this is a fun chance to talk about an excellent cause. 352 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: The Texans have My Cause my cleats this week, and 353 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: that's something we're all familiar with. All these players get 354 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: to design a cleat that they get to wear and 355 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: it's for a charity, for a cause that they're behind. 356 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: And right now we got DeAndre Carter, punt returner receiver. 357 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: You could do it all. I mean, you could probably 358 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: play some other things too if you needed to. You 359 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 1: could do it. I know, I know. But you've got 360 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: out an excellent cause. Tell us about what your cleats 361 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: look like and why you chose them. Yeah, they came 362 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: out and nice. Juvenile diabetes is my cause. You know, 363 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: I was diagnosed when I was younger, fourteen years old. Blue, 364 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: blue and red, you know, great design that came out. Great, 365 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: love them with the bluest obviously for you know, juvenile 366 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: diabetes and everything. So yeah, man excited to put those 367 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: pictures out there, go out there and represent that cause 368 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: so he can reach some warrins to it. Yeah, a 369 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: lot of people in the country, a lot of people 370 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: worldwide have diabetes. Most of those people have type two diabetes. 371 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: And folks like you and actually folks like me too. Yeah, 372 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: we are type one diabetics exactly, which means we need 373 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: insulin to help control things. So it's a little bit, 374 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: a little bit smaller, well a lot smaller segment of 375 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: the diabetes population. And not many NFL players have this, 376 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: have this this disease. I mean, I know there have 377 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: been a couple that have come through the Texans. Jake 378 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: Cutler is the most famous NFL player that comes to mind, 379 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: Peter as it is Patrick Peterson. See I did not 380 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: know that, But there's not many that have this. What's 381 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: it like playing NFL football with diabetes? Once you get 382 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, I've had it, you know, for a while, 383 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: so I got a pretty good control over it. But 384 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: it's just an added responsibility that you gotta make sure 385 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: you stay on top of checking your blood sugar throughout 386 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: the game, halftime, in between quarters and things like that, 387 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: making sure but sugar it is not too high, not 388 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: too low during the game and things like that or practice. 389 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: It's not a big burden, just some extra that you 390 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: gotta make sure you stay on top of. And that's 391 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: kind of one of the keys here. It's it was 392 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: once a terrible fits. It's a bad illness, but it 393 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: was once just stabilitating for a lot of people. But 394 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 1: you're an example of somebody that's thriving with it exactly. 395 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: It's definitely, you know, just making sure people know that 396 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: you can still do whatever it is that your goals, 397 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: your dream, your aspirations are even if you have this diagnosis, 398 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: as you can say, I'm still able to go out 399 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: and do my job at a high level. But it's 400 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: not it's not like you said, it's not something that's 401 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: stabilitating that you can do anything. Very Once you get 402 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: control over and get a good manage on it, then 403 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to go out and do live life 404 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: as a regular person, no doubt. Now you're in your 405 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: mid twenties. You got diagnosed though, right before your freshman 406 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: year of high school. What what what happened? What was the 407 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: change right, what changes. Yeah, so I'm right before, Like 408 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: I said, before my freshman year, we're actually in like 409 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: football summer workouts and things like that. But I started 410 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: losing a lot of weight really fast. I got down 411 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: there with seventy six pounds. I think it was from 412 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: probably one I was one fifty then a little lighter, 413 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: but I lost a lot of a lot of weight 414 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: going to the bathroom. You know you're nameing a lot. 415 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: I was sleeping a lot, like, way more than on 416 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: all throughout the day, sleeping probously, maybe eighteen hours out 417 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: of the day. This is a span of about like 418 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: a month or two. Yeah, yeah, And it was all 419 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: going crazy. One day football practice, I couldn't make it 420 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: through practice, so my coach shent me home, told my 421 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: dad I wasn't feeling well and everything like that, and 422 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: I went home started throwing up crazy everything. So my 423 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: dad took me to the hospital and then they ran 424 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 1: the test and everything, and they told me I had 425 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 1: one diabetes and it was type two runs in my family, right, 426 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: So I was familiar with it, but the insolent part 427 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: of it was new to me, which you know, I'm insulindependent. 428 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: So it took a little bit of a time to 429 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: get adjusted to it and everything. But once I got 430 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: used to it wasn't too bad. So what's that mean? 431 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: You're insulin dependent? But does that mean are you giving 432 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: yourself shots? You know, are you on an insulin pump? 433 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: They're they're different ways to do it. So what's that 434 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: mean for you on a daily basis? Yeah, so there's 435 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: there's different ways to do it now they got pumps up. 436 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: I'm kind of old school. I like to use the 437 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: syringe and the you know, the needle and everything. I 438 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: feel like I got a little bit more of my 439 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: own control over it, right, But I have desk coms, 440 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: like a continuous glue coast monitor which tells me my 441 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: blood sugar all throughout the day and everything. So if 442 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: you're too high, too high, I got to give yourself 443 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: to give myself some insulin, to orange and skate orade, candy, 444 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: anything to get it up. Sometimes it's kind of something's 445 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: kind of Niceah, you get get a little treat there. 446 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: At the rest of the time, you know, trying to 447 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: keep your carbon take sugar down, but you can get 448 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: get the loads, get a little a little snack, and 449 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: in some ways it's probably helpful that you work for 450 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: the Texans and work for an NFL team because of 451 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: the medical staff that's on hand to support you. Yeah, 452 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: the guys here are training room, real great, staying on 453 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: top of anything that I need, my prescriptions, my medicine, 454 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: if you low during practice or high during practice or whatever. 455 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: They always right on top of it. So great, great 456 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: staff here. Do you interact or come in contact with 457 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: folks that have type one diabetes? I mean it's typically 458 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: kids get diagnosed, but you're seeing older people now get 459 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: diagnosed with it. Two, you're active in the community. I 460 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: mean we always see you doing stuff Tuesdays, going to 461 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: hospitals or whatever. I imagine you run into diabetics from 462 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: time to from time to time, and then it's it's 463 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: it's fun, you know, to share. No, I wouldn't say fun, 464 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: it's it's definitely not a good thing to have, but 465 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: but to share those stories, you know, those you know 466 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: being guys or people overcoming it and still being successful 467 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: and productive in society. And when I run into the kids, 468 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: just letting them because you know, when you're young, you 469 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: kind of you kind of feel like outcasts, you know, 470 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: kind of not a lot of not a I mean, 471 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: kids have it, but it's not common, you know, and 472 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: more than likely you'll be one of a few kids 473 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: in your school to have it. So kids kind of 474 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: feel like an outcast sometimes, but you know, just kind 475 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: of giving them the confidence to know that it'll be okay. 476 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: They'll be able to do everything they need to do 477 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: that they want to do through life and not to 478 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: be shy about it. That's awesome, DeAndre Carter. We're really 479 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: excited to see in those cleats on Sunday against the Broncos. 480 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: I'm calling my shot.

Thanks appreciate you. 484 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: When I saw Deandre's cleats outside of the locker room 485 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: where they were showing the players their cleats and I 486 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: saw JDRF, my first thought was Drew. I thought about 487 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: Drew's Drew's done so much for jdr F over the years, 488 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: and I thought about Drew and I didn't I couldn't 489 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: find Drew, And so then I walked back at the 490 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: studio and as I walked back in studio, Drew was 491 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: with DeAndre Carter, so I didn't know they were gonna 492 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: be doing that interview, but I thought it was really cool. 493 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: And what I was gonna ask Drew is did you 494 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: know did you have any idea that DeAndre dealt with diabetes? 495 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: He's like no, he asked Drew did of Andre? Johnson 496 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: said he didn't know. There were Tim Kelly didn't know. 497 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: They didn't know that DeAndre Carter suffered from type one diabetes, 498 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: and it just blew my mind when I heard that. 499 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: But he found out he had it in high school. 500 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: They got it under control, and DeAndre was able to 501 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: have a tremendous college high school, college career, find his 502 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: way to the Texans. He's done a really nice job 503 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: for the Texans. No questions asked. But I know that's 504 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: got to mean a lot of these guys and a 505 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: lot of DeAndre Carter to be able to put those 506 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: cleats on his feet on Sunday and know that there 507 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: are so many people pulling for you. In large part 508 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: they may not know who you are, but they're like, hey, 509 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: wait a second, I deal with type one diabetes. I 510 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: love that guy, now, I love that I'd love DeAndre 511 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: Carter because I know he's dealing the same thing I do. 512 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: And I saw somebody tweet that Drew earlier today and 513 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: it was a father whose daughter deals with Type one 514 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: diabetes and read the tweet and based it was DeAndre 515 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: Carter's now her favorite football player for that particular reason. 516 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: So it's pretty cool. And that's what my Cause my 517 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: Cleats is meant to do, is to show the charitable 518 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: nature of these players. If people don't see it any 519 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: other time, they definitely will see it on Sunday. And 520 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: I think that's a great thing. Now we're gonna have 521 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: more with DeAndre Carter later. Drew kind of turns the 522 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: page and goes to Drew's Dirty Dozen, So you have 523 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 1: that to look forward to later in the show, and 524 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: it is with DeAndre Carter. But next, I'm going to 525 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: break down the keys to a victory over the Denver 526 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: Broncos on Sunday. What do the Texans need to do 527 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 1: to get that? W Let's do that next right here 528 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: in Texans All Access. Welcome back to our Friday edition 529 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: of Texans All Access from the Nday Texans Radio Studio. 530 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: I am John Harris, Football anast inside the reporter for 531 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: your Houston Texans. Of course, I am glad to be 532 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: with you this evening. What a weekend it is going 533 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: to be. You have the PAC twelve Championship kicking off shortly. 534 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: You've got a whole weekend of high school playoff games 535 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: in Texas right here in Houston. You've got championship weekend 536 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: on Saturday in college football, including the big game tonight, 537 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: Pack twelve Utah of the organ. And then you've got 538 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: a full slate of NFL games, including you're eight and 539 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: four Houston Texans taking on the four and eight Denver Broncos. 540 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: But do not let that four and eight fool you. 541 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: The Broncos had three games this year they lost by 542 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: two points. They lost the Bears on the last field 543 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: goal of the game after scoring a two point conversion 544 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: of making fourteen thirteen lost out one, should have won 545 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: a one. They lost by two to Jacksonville late field goal, 546 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: I believe by Josh Lamb. Josh Lambo. That was another 547 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: loss and they lost by two, and I'm trying to remember. 548 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: The other loss of two points was to the oh gosh, 549 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. Von Miller has got Jacoby Brissette sacked 550 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: in the end zone and lets him get away. They 551 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: all said that game when that a big leadiance the 552 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: Vikings then lost it. This seemed very easily could be 553 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: seven and five, a worst case six and six. They 554 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: weren't able to come through and finish those games and 555 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: those wins. Now, they also got beat by a good 556 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: football team in Kansas City thirty to six. They got 557 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: beat by Buffalo twenty to three. So they've gotten beat. 558 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: They've been beat by good football teams by decent margins. 559 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: And let's hope that happens on Sunday against your Texans. Now, 560 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: this segment is always reserved for our First Committee Credit Union, 561 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: First Glance Keys to the Game FCCU, the official Credit 562 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: Union of your Houston Texans. So this is where we 563 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: dive deep into this thing. We start talking about the 564 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: game in front of us, the team in front of us. 565 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: I try as best I possibly can to vary these keys. 566 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: For example, earlier this year, when we were facing the 567 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: Indian Apples Holts, I believe, and also the Ravens, it 568 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: was tackling was a major key, and I like to 569 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: go a little bit deeper than that, but it was 570 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: such an important aspect of those games that they had 571 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: to be involved. Now, tackling, I should just put it 572 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: up on a shelf. Blocking, tackling, nutmaking mistakes, those should 573 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: all just go up on a shelf as if they're 574 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: always keys. I try to do a little bit more 575 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: specific to the team the Texans are going to face. 576 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: So let's get into it. Let's talk about the Texas 577 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: defense to start key number one. And I wrote this 578 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: and I'll explain what I mean. Sutton stops suddenly a 579 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: little alliteration there about Courtland Sutton. Courtland Sutton is the 580 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: second year wide receiver at SMU six three sixty four, 581 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 1: about two sixteen, big, fast, physical. How he ended up 582 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: following to the Broncos in the second round of the 583 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: draft is beyond me. And there's no reason that should 584 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: have happened. And I remember watching him and going back, 585 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: dude the first rounder and he didn't go in the 586 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: first round. And sometimes when you see that happening, like 587 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: you know, you overshot on that guy, and now I'm 588 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: watching him, I'm like, no, no no, no, that was absolutely 589 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: right on that guy. He is a major problem. Now 590 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a ton of help, especially in the 591 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: receiver realm, as receivers, They've got four. They've got four 592 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,719 Speaker 1: pass catchers with twenty five catches or more. The next 593 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: receiver after Sutton only has thirteen. They've played twelve games. 594 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,239 Speaker 1: That's like one catch a game for a receiver not 595 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: named Cortland Sutton. So slowing him down and doing it 596 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: immediately is a major key. He is physical. He can 597 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: catch screens and run after the catch, and can catch 598 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: slants and beat you at speed. He can catch the 599 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: fifty fifty ball. He can beat you with deep balls 600 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: down the field. He is a complete receiver. Of receivers 601 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: with forty or more catches in the league, he is 602 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 1: third in that group with sixteen point eight yards per catch. 603 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: He is Courtland Sutton's go to guy. When Locke got 604 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: in trouble, that's the right word. But when he faced 605 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: gotta have it situations on third down, down in the 606 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: red zone, he always looked to fourteen side. He was 607 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: gonna go to Courtland Sutton. Courtland Sutton was going to 608 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: see the football. The last week, when I talked about Edelman, 609 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: I said, take him out of the game, do not 610 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: let him have an impact on the game. And really, 611 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: up until that thirty yard catch, I guess where was 612 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: more than thirty. He had like a first and thirty 613 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: catch and you got a first down was like a 614 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: forty something yard catch. He really hadn't done a whole lot. 615 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: The Texans had done a really good job of doubling 616 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: him with a number of different guys and taking him 617 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: out of the game. Edelman's on the inside. I think 618 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: sometimes it's it's more difficult to double a guy on 619 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: the inside. Sometimes on the outside you got a better opportunity. 620 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: But you've got to do whatever possible it takes out 621 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: of this game. Well, I mean not hurt him, of course, 622 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: but take him out of this game. Double him, bring 623 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: the safety over the top, be physical with him. Now, 624 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: what you like about the Texans secondary is that you 625 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: have different guys. You have Connolly, longer range, year, stronger 626 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: corner than maybe Vernon, and Vernon's more of an insight guy. 627 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: You know, he's a little bit tall and stronger than Jjo. 628 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: But Jjo has the experience. You can play his own. 629 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: You can play man whatever you do. Fourteen is the focus. 630 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: That's Courtland Sutton's number. Take away. Drew locks Binkie with 631 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: a combination of personnel and coverages against Courtland Sutton number two. 632 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: This is a big key last year because the offense 633 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: had really in Denver turned into case Keenum making some 634 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: plays but not a whole lot, but turning and handing 635 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: the ball. Number thirty, the rookie undrafted guy on a 636 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: Colorado who was smaller than anybody on the field, and 637 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: that was Philip Lindsay. But do not mistake Lindsay's lack 638 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: of size for lack of heart, hunger, will and speed. 639 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: He's got all of those and he uses all of 640 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: those and he runs with his big, huge head of 641 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: hair on fire. He runs downhill. He doesn't mince words, 642 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: he just goes. He's the energizer bunny. And last year 643 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: the Texans did a really nice job of slowing him down, 644 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: and I think that forced the game back to case 645 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: Keenum's hands, and he made some plays but not enough. 646 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: This year's Drew Lock. But you've got to be able 647 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: to answer Lindsay with your physical play. And you're tackling obviously, 648 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: so you cannot underestimate a guy. And when you see him, 649 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: you're like that guy, really, he's tiny. Yeah he's tiny, 650 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: but he will run your ass over if you're not 651 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: ready for it. Number three attack the edges in the 652 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: passing game, Garrett Bowls at one tackle Juan James or 653 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: Eli Wilkinson as the other tackle. Those guys, especially Bowls. 654 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,239 Speaker 1: Bowls has had a ton of penalties this year, a 655 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: ton of holding penalties. That's been a problem for him. 656 00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: He's probably a guy they need to move to guard. 657 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,959 Speaker 1: They're gonna keep him. He's had a little bit more 658 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: success lately. The charters didn't just destroy them like I 659 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: kind of thought they would. In fact, Locke didn't even 660 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: get sacked, so the line has been better. But I 661 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: still think with this pass rush there's an opportunity to 662 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: tack those tackles with Jake Martin speed, with Whitney merciless 663 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: toolbox and see what they're able to do to get 664 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: pressure on the rookie Drew Lock number four, and this 665 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: one is specifically about a Texan, but it kind of 666 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 1: goes to show against this Broncos group, who has to dominate, 667 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: and that's DJ Reader. Reader has been phenomenal all year. 668 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 1: But to answer the Philip Lindsay question, to get pressure 669 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: on Drew Lock at his feet in addition to what's 670 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: coming from the edges, DJ Reader is that guy he 671 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: has played at such a high level this year, it's 672 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost unfathomable for to think that guy 673 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: was a fifth round pick. He's been unbelievable. But he's 674 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: got to continue to dominate from guard to guarden. He 675 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: lines up all all over the place. So whether it's 676 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,240 Speaker 1: connamer Government at center or Ronald Leary at one guard, 677 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: they've got he's got to be able to take over. 678 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: He's got to win one on one and he's got 679 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: to be able to win two on one really if 680 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: he can do that, and then obviously he gets some 681 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: help from his dudes inside. The guys inside have played 682 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: very well. That Brandon Dunne played a heck of a 683 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: game against the Patriots. His ability is split double team fantastic. 684 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: But to me, reader is stirring at drink inside. He's 685 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: that guy. Number five rookie tight end for the Broncos. 686 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: His name Noah Fan. He was draft number twenty or 687 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: twenty one in his draft this last draft. He is 688 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: an athlete. He runs like four four one. He's faster 689 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: than almost I think he's fast and every receiver on 690 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: the Broncos team, and he's faster probably than any other 691 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: pass catcher on the field not named Will Fuller and 692 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: Kenny Steals. He can fly. Now, he hasn't caught the 693 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: ball consistently well this season, but he is a problem 694 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: for a secondary or linebackers. So the Texans have got 695 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: to be completely one thousand percent solid in their coverage 696 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: of THEMB eighty seven. No a fan and how they 697 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: are going to cover him. If it's a linebacker, they 698 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 1: better have safety's ready to help. If it's a safety, 699 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: physical at the line of scrimmage. He's a big, strong 700 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: guy and he can run. But if you jam him 701 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: a little bit and throw off the timing, that might 702 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 1: be enough to get locked off of looking at fan 703 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: and looking at somewhere else. They tried to throw corner 704 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 1: fade the fant last week, threw Tranquil who played safety 705 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 1: for Notre Dame that is now playing linebacker for the Charger, 706 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: stayed right into hip pocket and forced Lock to have 707 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: to throw a little bit further. A fan couldn't make 708 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: the catch. That's the kind of coverage it's got to be. 709 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: It's got to be somebody. If it's a linebacker, it's 710 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: got to be Zach. Can't be anybody else. If it's 711 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: a safety. It can be a number of different guys, 712 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: but Noah Fant can be a problem. He hasn't caught 713 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: it extremely well, but when he does catch it, it's 714 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 1: a problem because of that speed. So you've got to 715 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: be able to have a plan for Noah Fan and 716 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 1: how you're gonna cover him, and then when he does 717 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 1: get the ball, you gotta attack him like a running back. 718 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: You gotta bring everybody to the party to slow him down. 719 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: All right, flip it over to the offensive side of 720 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: the ball and start with number one block von Miller. Now, 721 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: he has been banged up and he didn't play last 722 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: week against the Chargers, and his quote was, I have 723 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: essentially an insane, crazy skill set and if I can't 724 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: really reach in that toolbox and use it, then I 725 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,800 Speaker 1: can't go out there. So he didn't against the Chargers. 726 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: But my guess he's gonna get back on the field. 727 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: There is no Derek Wolf, there is no Bradley Chubb. 728 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: Von Miller is the only guy to be able to 729 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: wreck this game. Do not allow it to happen, even 730 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,240 Speaker 1: if that means given Laramie little help, and he probably 731 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: doesn't line up on Laramy all that much. I would 732 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: imagine von wants to line up at that left outside 733 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,760 Speaker 1: linebackers last left defensive end spot go against the Texans 734 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: right tackles, whether it's Rod Johnson or Chris Clark, and 735 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: he wants to be able to go at them. That 736 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: is gonna be a problem. So they've got to be 737 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,439 Speaker 1: able to take his game wrecking away. Last year, Vonon 738 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: had won sack. I thought Chubb was a bigger problem 739 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 1: last year. But in that game, you had Chubb, you 740 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 1: had Vaughan, you had Watt, you had Clowney. In this game, 741 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: you'll have one of the four. But in that game, 742 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: Chubb had a sack, Clowney, Watt each had a sack, 743 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: and von had one sack. But only happened when the 744 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: starting right tackle, Kennel Lamb went out of the game. 745 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: He went out of the game for a play when 746 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: injury went back in and on the play that he 747 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: went out, that's when Von got his sack. Hopefully a 748 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: right tackle stays in the game this week and he 749 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: gets no sex. Number two. Number thirty four is safety 750 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: Will Parks. He's a guy that I look at him. 751 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: He's not the best safety for the Broncos. They've got 752 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: two good ones the Kareem Jackson and Justin Simmons. So 753 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:52,720 Speaker 1: Will Parks comes into the game. When he does, he'll 754 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,800 Speaker 1: play a pseudo linebackers safety sort of role. One of 755 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 1: the things they'd like to do with him is bring 756 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: him on the blitz. When thirty four is on the field, 757 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: A know he's out there, be anticipate that he's blitzing, 758 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 1: and he'll blitz from that nickel position. Remember Bradley Robi's 759 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: blitz last week. He was playing that nickel position and blitz. 760 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,439 Speaker 1: Typically Bradley plays in the outside. He jumped in there 761 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: to cover James White. Jumping into that role. He blitzed. 762 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: When thirty four is on the field, anticipate him coming. 763 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: He had a sack last week. The Chargers never accounted 764 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: for him, and he will run that blitz ed dontel. 765 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: Defense coordinator Vic Fangio will bring Will Parks, know where 766 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: he is and make sure he's accounted for in the protection. 767 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: Number three. This one goes to the Sean and this 768 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: one isn't so much about what he hasn't done, but 769 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 1: continuing on with what he has done. Recognize coverage early, 770 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: deliver the rock quickly. The Shawn Watson did that last 771 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: week against the New England Patriots, and I think it 772 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: was a major component to moving the football against that 773 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: Patriots defense, and they did it all night long. He 774 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: saw what they were in. He knew exactly what he 775 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: wanted to He got the football out of his hands. 776 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 1: He didn't take sacks. He got he had two sacks 777 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:09,280 Speaker 1: in which one sack was like him trying to scramble. 778 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,359 Speaker 1: It were really only two true sacks and those both 779 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 1: came from blitzers. They adjusted for it. He saw it, 780 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: he recognized it. They didn't make that mistake in the 781 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,479 Speaker 1: second half, and they were sackless in the second half. 782 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: But Deshaun getting the ball out. It's a good defense 783 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 1: on the other side for the Broncos. Not the best 784 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: in the league, but a good defense, Top twelve in 785 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: total defense, fifth in passing defense, just based yardage wise. 786 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: So recognize the coverage early, deliver the rock quickly, and 787 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: move this offense. Number four. Continue to push the offense 788 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 1: down the field with calculated deep shots to any of 789 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,399 Speaker 1: the three wide receivers and whoever maybe the four coach 790 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: talked about him Friday bout Qt potentially being in this lineup, 791 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 1: and hopefully he's going to be maybe DeAndre Carter if 792 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: Key's not active. But push the ball down the field. 793 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: They did it to Will to touchdown. They didn't give 794 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: it to him, Kenny Touchdown, gave it to him. Push 795 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Keep doing it. I know 796 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: de Sean loves it. Everybody loves the deep ball. We 797 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: all love it, and they've got the personnel to be 798 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: able to do it. Keep doing it. And number five last, 799 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: and certainly not least. I don't want the Texans to 800 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 1: just win inside on the offensive line. I want them 801 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: to dominate from guard to guard, from Max Nick, Zach Sharping, 802 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 1: Martin Folden. I want those three guys to push Broncos 803 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: off the ball, get them off the ball. I know 804 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: people will look back at the Patriots game and go, 805 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: they didn't run the ball. Well, they must have not. 806 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 1: They got push, They got some good push. There were 807 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: times where they made nice blocks up front, especially guard 808 00:41:55,080 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: to guard, but didn't make could happen for whatever reason, 809 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: just running game couldn't get going. But I want this 810 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,479 Speaker 1: group to take their game to even different level. Make 811 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: sure the running backs see exactly what you've done and 812 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 1: occupying and knocking guys off the ball. So they make 813 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: the cut right behind you and we get back to 814 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: running this football. One of the things that worried me 815 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 1: in not running the ball exceedingly well against the Patriots 816 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 1: was last year. Last year, over the last five games 817 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 1: and started at Colts Loss here in week fourteen. They 818 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: ran for eighty eight eighty nine yards in that game, 819 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: which was well below what the Texas had been running. 820 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: They lost the game twenty one. The next week they 821 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,439 Speaker 1: went to New York. Couldn't run it again. Now Lamar 822 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 1: got hurt in that game, and they couldn't run at 823 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,839 Speaker 1: all what the Philly in next week couldn't even They 824 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: did worse in Philly than they had done in New York. 825 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 1: The last game of the year, they played Jacksonville and 826 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: we ran the ball well numbers wise, but a lot 827 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 1: I had to do with the Sean and they got 828 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 1: to playoff game. Couldn't run at all. Now fell behind. 829 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: They had to throw the ball a lot, So that 830 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 1: was part of it. But this is about the time 831 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 1: of the year. But the run game tailed off. It 832 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: cannot and it really starts with the guys in front, 833 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: in particular, that guard center guard combination working together, moving 834 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 1: guys off the ball. There's no Derek Wolf this week. 835 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: Shelby Harris is a pretty good player, and they've got 836 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: some good interior guys. But they've got to get push 837 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: off the ball, bump off the linebackers, occupy them and 838 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: let this running game really get going and take some 839 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 1: of the pressure off the seat of the passing game. 840 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: That's obviously one of the ways to do it. So 841 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: there you go. Those are your first Community Credit Union 842 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: first Glance keys to a win over the Denver Broncos. 843 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: We get back. I'm putting two segments together. Typically I 844 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:40,399 Speaker 1: do predictions and I talk to Mark vandermer I'm gonna 845 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 1: talk to Mark VanderMeer and new predictions at the same time. 846 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 1: Next on Texas Access, we got one hour in the books, 847 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:48,879 Speaker 1: one hour left to go. Here on a Friday edition 848 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 1: of Texas All Access from the Hunday Texans Radio studio. 849 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, and I am joined now 850 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: by the voice of your Houston Texans, the voice formally 851 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 1: of the Central Michigan Chippawas, Mark fandom Beer.

About yeah, yeah, In fact, 854 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 1: you sent out a video via text, which I would 855 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 1: love to put out amongst the peeps. I would love 856 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: for this to get out there because you're doing this 857 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 1: interview and you're at Central Michigan. I don't want to 858 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 1: give way your age, but you looked like you were 859 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 1: about twelve, and I was twelve. I was a kid 860 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: look older than. This was twenty five years ago. It 861 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: was a long time ago, and my questions are very 862 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 1: so do you think that you will be able to 863 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: run the football well on Saturday? I mean, I am 864 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 1: so scripted. I mean, the guy could have said I 865 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: have the cure for cancer and my next follow up 866 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: would have been what about next week's game, because I 867 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,839 Speaker 1: was going to ask that question come hell or high water, 868 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: which is a very rookie interview thing to do, interviewerre 869 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,760 Speaker 1: thing to do, where you just go to your question 870 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 1: and you're not really listening to the answer of whoever's talking. 871 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 1: But that those looked o K. I mean at Central 872 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: Michigan University back in the nineties, So it's all right. 873 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 1: The last time it's actually not the last time they 874 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,359 Speaker 1: won the MAC, but that was a year they won 875 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 1: the Mid American Conference championship twenty five years ago, and 876 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 1: there was no championship game, but it worked out that 877 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaker 1: the last game was between the two teams to vie 878 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,319 Speaker 1: for the title, Central Michigan and Bowling Green. And all 879 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 1: I'll say about that game is the punter decided to 880 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 1: fake a punt own he ran seventy yards for a 881 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: touchdown and he was not fleet of foot, so it 882 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: was in slow motion. He's at the fifty's the forty. 883 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: It was kind of like Tom Brady scrambling for fourteen 884 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 1: yards the other night slow motion breed. You could have 885 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: counted the yardage when Brady was scrambling. But the thing is, 886 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 1: as I'm standing down in the field as Brady scrambling, 887 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 1: I can see it. We're in man coverage in like 888 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to run for a while or 889 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: about ten yards, and that's all he needed was I 890 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 1: think he needed seven or eight he got He got ten. 891 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean, if that was and then slid right into somebody, 892 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 1: if that was Lamar Jackson or to shut They're the 893 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: end zone by the time he's sliding their thirty forty 894 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: yards down field. Now, each every Friday, I do a 895 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,320 Speaker 1: segment that I predict all the games straight up and 896 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: against the spread, and I usually do a segment with you. 897 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 1: But this week, because I've got such a jam pack 898 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,399 Speaker 1: show with DeAndre Carter with Drew and our deep Slent 899 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,919 Speaker 1: interview of the week, I kind of needed to put 900 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 1: two segments together. And I thought, all right, let's do it. 901 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 1: Let's put these two segments together where you and I 902 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: are together and we pick every game straight up and 903 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 1: against the spread. Now you don't want to say against 904 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 1: the spread. I understand that I do it, and I 905 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 1: always say this, only do it to talk about the games. 906 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 1: It's just a kind of fun way to see how 907 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,799 Speaker 1: the public perception looks at these games for entertainment purposes only. 908 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 1: So I try to run through all of them, but 909 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: we'll hit the ones that are at least matter because 910 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,800 Speaker 1: Dolphins Jets, and we can fly through those later on. Okay, 911 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: Panthers Falcons. This is one of those to start off 912 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 1: with Panthers Falcons in Atlanta. The Panthers no longer have 913 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera's head coach. All right, what's the line about 914 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,720 Speaker 1: the Falcons are favored by three? Yeah? All right, Falcons 915 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:10,240 Speaker 1: win this thing out right, and no Panthers are done. Yeah, 916 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,799 Speaker 1: I don't think that they weren't playing for Rivera the 917 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,959 Speaker 1: way the Cowboys appear to me. And I can't speak 918 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 1: for them not playing for Garrett, because come on, the 919 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys got a ton of talent here. But I think 920 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,600 Speaker 1: that the Panthers have other issues. And you know, you're 921 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,800 Speaker 1: still working with a Kyle Allen that the leagu's catching 922 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: up to a little bit McCaffrey. Are things catching up 923 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 1: to him? I mean, everybody knows. I wonder if McCaffrey's 924 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 1: going to get the ball on this right. Odds are 925 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 1: he will in some way, shape or form. Mark. I 926 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,359 Speaker 1: don't know that I can remember seeing this, and I'm 927 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: about to tell you Ron Rivera was let go on Tuesday. Tuesday. 928 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 1: On Wednesday, he did an interview in the building after 929 00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: the day after. He was like, I don't think I've 930 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 1: ever seen that before. You know, it reminds me of 931 00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 1: it's very different because he's had a lot more success, 932 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,839 Speaker 1: but dom Capers, Yeah, what he was let go here 933 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 1: in two thousand and five, really probably two thousand and 934 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: six early, yeah, because past New Year's Day. But he 935 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: did his radio show that night. I mean, we did 936 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,879 Speaker 1: the radio show with Dom Capers that evening Rich Lord 937 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: and I hosted it and Don was in the building 938 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 1: to win the show, and he was wonderful and he 939 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 1: knew it and he went to Miami right after that 940 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,360 Speaker 1: and actually had a great year coordinating that defense, and 941 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,919 Speaker 1: Jason Taylor was the defensive player of the year under 942 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,279 Speaker 1: Dom Capers. Unbelievable, I was. And the thing is, you say, 943 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 1: Ron Riveriously, Dom Kapers, that's the thing you think about 944 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 1: is class professional, right? I mean just I mean the 945 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: number of people that spoke so highly at Ron Rivera 946 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 1: is crazy. Okay, this this is a big one. Baltimore 947 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,280 Speaker 1: ravens or ten and two. They go to Buffalo. Okay, 948 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 1: Buffalo's nine and three. There's a lot riding on this. 949 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 1: And how about this on the road in Western New York. 950 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 1: What's the weather report? Baltimore is a six point favorite, 951 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,799 Speaker 1: and they apparently are expecting some sort of weather in 952 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,520 Speaker 1: this one. Precipitation in Western New York mostly cloudy, well 953 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,719 Speaker 1: the high of forty four, allow of twenty seven, but 954 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: they it does sound like there is gonna be a 955 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: little bit of weather, maybe not like it was in 956 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,280 Speaker 1: Baltimore last week where it was a monsoon but Baltimore 957 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 1: favored by six. Okay, here's the deal. Vegas loves them 958 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 1: some Ravens. Baltimore was put up twenty points last week 959 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: in a win, right, so I know there was weather 960 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 1: involved and certainly it was a factor. San Francisco quote 961 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 1: held the Ravens to twenty twenties, a big number in 962 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 1: the NFL. We always talk about. That's kind of like 963 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,839 Speaker 1: the Mendoza line up and down. Probably not a good 964 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 1: comparison to Mendoza because that's a different kind of deal. 965 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,320 Speaker 1: It's it's that's the medium line right there. So what 966 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm thinking here, Buffalo with all that defense and Josh 967 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,799 Speaker 1: Allen with that, I can make a play wacky productive, 968 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,320 Speaker 1: an unpredictable way running ability. Because this has the highest 969 00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: rushing total of two quarterbacks meeting in an NFL game, 970 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 1: I think it history. I'm going Buffalo for the outright 971 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:08,280 Speaker 1: Johnny wow right into the stunned the Ravens this week. Okay, 972 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: so if that happens, let's say that happens, yeah, and 973 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,680 Speaker 1: Buffalo goes and beats New England. The other two games 974 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 1: are a cakewalk for Buffalo. Yes, you ends up being 975 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 1: the number one seed in the AFC. Yeah, the AFCED 976 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,959 Speaker 1: number one seed would be Buffalo. We gotta worry about 977 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: them now, Yeah, because like I have my dream scenario 978 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,920 Speaker 1: here of meltdowns at the page the Ravens, but the 979 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,640 Speaker 1: meltown with the Patriots would include the Bills probably rising up. 980 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,760 Speaker 1: So we almost need the Ravens to win. Just imagine 981 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:42,760 Speaker 1: like after all that, Houston has to go to done done. 982 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 1: I think I think the Ravens will win, but that 983 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,439 Speaker 1: six is too much. I think the Ravens will win, 984 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 1: but the Bills will keep it close, so they'll get 985 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,920 Speaker 1: inside the number. You're calling the Ravens straight out. Bengals. 986 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 1: Browns in Cleveland clus favor by seven. Uh, Bengals just 987 00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 1: to pick it Beals cover Yeah, Beals, I mean gets 988 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 1: to seven eighty adults back, he'll do some good things. 989 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,759 Speaker 1: I think Cleveland winds but gets inside the seven Redskins 990 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,880 Speaker 1: Packers in green Bay, green Bay's favored by twelve and 991 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 1: a half. Yikes. Next, Okay, this one includes one of 992 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 1: the teams vying for a wild card one week. I 993 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,480 Speaker 1: think it's one week maybe two weeks before they play 994 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,239 Speaker 1: green Bay. The Lions take on the Vikings in Minnesota. 995 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,840 Speaker 1: Minnesota's favored by twelve and a half, David a half. 996 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 1: That's a rich number. That's too rich. Look. Look, if 997 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,520 Speaker 1: I was one of those people, and I'm not, I 998 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,360 Speaker 1: don't do this, you know, but I would say the 999 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,759 Speaker 1: Lions are gonna get closer than that. But the Vikings 1000 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 1: gotta win this game. The Vikings will win. I think 1001 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: got twelve and a half's too rich for me. I'd 1002 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 1: take the Viks to win. The Lions get inside it. Okay, 1003 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: here you go. Noon game in New Orleans. Niners Saints. 1004 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 1: All right, Nighters come across country two weeks in a row. 1005 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,440 Speaker 1: But they practiced at that IMG Academy right down in Orlando. 1006 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: They stayed there, so so they're really not coming across again. 1007 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: They're used to the East Coast time zone and all 1008 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 1: of that. Saint New Orleans craziness. Saints two and a 1009 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,719 Speaker 1: half point FA, so Vegas season is pretty much even. Well, 1010 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 1: of course, because the Niners are really good. They're coming 1011 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,319 Speaker 1: off a loss and they need it. They gotta have 1012 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: this one. They gotta Seattle's right there. They gotta have 1013 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 1: this one. That's the problem. I'm gonna go. Niners win 1014 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,880 Speaker 1: the game. They right, yes, they win the game. Okay, well, 1015 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,239 Speaker 1: let me add another piece of little information here. Wait, 1016 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 1: what did I What did I miss? Ro He Mostart, 1017 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: who is one of the star running backs for the 1018 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,400 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, has said it won't really be that 1019 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:35,200 Speaker 1: loud in the Superdome because the forty nine Ers fans 1020 00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 1: are gonna fill it up. Yikes. I mean they'll be 1021 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 1: There will be some forty nine Ers fans, but guess 1022 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,200 Speaker 1: what forty thousand Saints fans, and it's gonna be more 1023 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 1: than Yeah, of course, still make more noise than your 1024 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 1: average NFL crowd. You're gonna bring a few thousand forty 1025 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 1: nine Ers fans in there, Yeah, don't. It's not like 1026 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: I want to Dallas and bring in the battle Red 1027 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,840 Speaker 1: to Dallas. It's not like that. I think at home, 1028 00:52:58,360 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 1: I think the Saints want to make a statement. I 1029 00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 1: think the Saints will win it, and they'll they'll cover 1030 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,279 Speaker 1: the two and a half. I mean, it's almost straight up, 1031 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,960 Speaker 1: it's almost to pick them. Sorry, should beat the Ravens 1032 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 1: last week, Johnny, Let's go to this one because it's 1033 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: two teams, one where we've played twice, one we're about 1034 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:18,760 Speaker 1: to play in a couple of weeks. The Colts travel 1035 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,879 Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay. Yeah, and this is how different this 1036 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,560 Speaker 1: game is than maybe even five six weeks ago. Tampa 1037 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,799 Speaker 1: Bay at home is favored by three. Yeah, and the 1038 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,359 Speaker 1: Colts are all banged up. The Colts are banged up. 1039 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 1: Marla Mack does appear he'll go back to the city 1040 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 1: in which he played his college ball. That's good for them, 1041 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,320 Speaker 1: that's good. But no Hilton, No, hebron hebron out for 1042 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,200 Speaker 1: the year, son Chester Rogers alf for the year two 1043 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: and Hilton doesn't look like he's gonna play. Yes, So 1044 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,360 Speaker 1: those are those are three top guys catching the football 1045 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 1: for the Colts. And this is it for the Colts. 1046 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,879 Speaker 1: They don't win this. Yeah, this last us all over. 1047 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,640 Speaker 1: It's all over for them. I still kind of like 1048 00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,840 Speaker 1: the Bucks in this one. And maybe my heart is 1049 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: picking and my emotions and my desires, and that's what 1050 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,440 Speaker 1: I want to see. I want to see the cults miserable. 1051 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 1: Thank you. So you're taking the Bucks to win, I'll 1052 00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 1: take the Bucks. I'm with you. I'm gonna take the Bucks. 1053 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,360 Speaker 1: I don't I know, I shouldn't. I know, we both shouldn't. 1054 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 1: We shouldn't be pounding the Colts. The Colts and then 1055 00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,440 Speaker 1: they lose. But I'm a little scared of the Buccaneers, 1056 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, because of what they can 1057 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,319 Speaker 1: do with a pass rush and the way they can 1058 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,279 Speaker 1: sling it around. They worry me. They want a couple 1059 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,920 Speaker 1: of a row. Nown I was hoping they'd be dead 1060 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:29,799 Speaker 1: by this time. I was thinking I was hoping so. 1061 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,959 Speaker 1: But this, this ending swing of the Texans schedule looks 1062 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 1: a whole lot harder on paper than it did a 1063 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,919 Speaker 1: couple of months ago. This is supposed to be a break. Yeah, yeah, 1064 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 1: well there's never a break, and we know that, but 1065 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:43,880 Speaker 1: it was looking like it was gonna be more of 1066 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 1: one than it is. Denver is not, you know, fear 1067 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,800 Speaker 1: free of me? Okay, Like this team has a lot 1068 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 1: going for it that can give you a lot of 1069 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 1: problems on Sunday, But I know we're not talking about 1070 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,399 Speaker 1: that right now. Go ahead, Okay. The three o'clock window, yeah, 1071 00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 1: AFC South things. We just mentioned one. Obviously we'll play 1072 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:00,880 Speaker 1: in the newtone window. We favored by nine, But I 1073 00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,800 Speaker 1: never picked that game because I'll never go against my 1074 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:04,640 Speaker 1: heart in my head all that kind of stuff, don't. 1075 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,799 Speaker 1: I don't even look at the line. Honestly, sometimes it's good. 1076 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 1: Uh quickly? Do you give the Jags a shot against 1077 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,360 Speaker 1: its Chargers in Duval County? Chargers favorite by three? I 1078 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,720 Speaker 1: totally give them a shot. The Chargers are a mess 1079 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 1: and they find extraordinary ways to lose. And they've done 1080 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,120 Speaker 1: it for years. They have found ways to lose. I 1081 00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,840 Speaker 1: think the Jags are done, but there might be a 1082 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,480 Speaker 1: Minshew dead cat bounce here later in the season, and 1083 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: maybe they get it done against the Chargers. Wait, what's 1084 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:35,279 Speaker 1: the Vegas sense on this one? Chargers three, Chargers by 1085 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:42,040 Speaker 1: three Jags? How about this one? Yeah, Tennessee flying across country? 1086 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 1: All right, this is a big one to take on 1087 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 1: the Raiders. What is What are the boys in the 1088 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,200 Speaker 1: desert think of this one? What do you think? All right? 1089 00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 1: I well, first of all, what would what would you 1090 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 1: do know these two teams in the way that things 1091 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 1: have gone lately? Think you gotta think that Tennessee by two, 1092 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,760 Speaker 1: You're you're close. Tennessee by three, Tennessee? I could you could? 1093 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 1: You know? I could still pick games after all these years. 1094 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,160 Speaker 1: It's hard to I mean, it's a lot easier to 1095 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 1: figure out the NFL spreads. I'm gonna start a new 1096 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,640 Speaker 1: show called Aces High with Mark Van No, I'm not 1097 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:13,560 Speaker 1: gonna do that and the Mark vander Er Dancers, d 1098 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,400 Speaker 1: D d D. It's a lot, but it's some more 1099 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 1: difficult to do the college spreads because those are all 1100 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,520 Speaker 1: over the place, over the place. The NFL ones are 1101 00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,439 Speaker 1: usually you know, ten on down, but Tennessee by three 1102 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 1: Titans Raiders. You give the Raiders a shot and bounts 1103 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 1: back after scoring to give them a big shot here. 1104 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,719 Speaker 1: But I can't, like if I was actually doing this, 1105 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,719 Speaker 1: like you know, this is gonna count and lives hanging 1106 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 1: the balance, and I had to pick this one. I'm 1107 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 1: picking the Titans, right, but I want the Raiders so badly. 1108 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 1: Please get it straightened out, Gruden, Come on, Derek, play well. 1109 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 1: We need you to beat the Titans. Give us a solid, 1110 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 1: do us a solid? Yes, come on. And for that reason, 1111 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the Raiders in the upset. I'm gonna 1112 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,719 Speaker 1: pick Raiders in an upset over Tennessee at home. Okay, 1113 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:59,320 Speaker 1: hopefully that'll happen. Okay, Big one Sunday afternoon, we'll probably 1114 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:00,960 Speaker 1: be up in our office is watching a little bit 1115 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:05,320 Speaker 1: of this. Well, Red Zone will be watching Titans, Raiders, Chargers, Jags, 1116 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,600 Speaker 1: and then the Kansas City Chiefs at eight and four. 1117 00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 1: Go to New England at tenant two, And how about this, 1118 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 1: what's the desert take on this one? New England's favorite 1119 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,920 Speaker 1: by three? That's it. Yeah, that's all two game difference 1120 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,840 Speaker 1: with these two teams. In Vegas. Thinks these two teams 1121 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,880 Speaker 1: are about even. I think that the Patriots have some problems. 1122 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:31,320 Speaker 1: This just him and Brady with you know, he's got 1123 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:36,880 Speaker 1: the injury report, um tab of a toe and what else? Elbow? Yeah, 1124 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 1: the elbow we've known about. Yeah, the toe is new. 1125 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:46,479 Speaker 1: It happened on that long run. To toe is no joke, John. 1126 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 1: If it's a turf toe, and we don't know if 1127 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 1: it is, but if it is, as you know, that's 1128 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,760 Speaker 1: a bad injury. So that makes them even less mobile. 1129 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 1: That's not good. Now, the Chiefs don't appear to have 1130 00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,280 Speaker 1: the defense to really get the job. But they're getting better. 1131 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,920 Speaker 1: It's getting better. It's looking a little bit better. But 1132 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,800 Speaker 1: they certainly have the offense to do the job. And 1133 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 1: I think that they have an offense that it's not 1134 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 1: defense proof, but they can move the football and they 1135 00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:13,440 Speaker 1: will and I think the Chiefs are gonna win this 1136 00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,120 Speaker 1: game in Foxborough. And the Chiefs have one at Foxborough, 1137 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 1: which which is much different than other teams beating them 1138 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: on the road. The Chiefs have one in Foxborough. I'm 1139 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 1: gonna go against you on this one because I do 1140 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 1: think the Patriots bounce back. Yeah, I'm not gonna use 1141 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,040 Speaker 1: the dead cat thing you said earlier, but I do 1142 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,160 Speaker 1: think the Patriots will will rise up and win these 1143 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,960 Speaker 1: games that Gillette, they will be I want to call 1144 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 1: them fugas, but I think that they're gonna go. They're 1145 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,479 Speaker 1: gonna go in thirteen and three into the playoffs. They'll 1146 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,840 Speaker 1: be the number two seed in AFC at thirteen and three, 1147 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 1: and they'll they'll get wrong. I hope I'm wrong, but 1148 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:46,680 Speaker 1: I think that's what's gonna happen. Just lose out, but 1149 00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,840 Speaker 1: I don't. I think in the playoffs they won't. I 1150 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,480 Speaker 1: think ten and six sounds like a good record for 1151 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:51,960 Speaker 1: the POW. I would love ten and six for that. 1152 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 1: And then Sunday Night, last game. Sunday Night, the Seahawks 1153 00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,960 Speaker 1: that tended to travel south to the Kyle Seum to 1154 00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,919 Speaker 1: take on the Rams at seven and five. Vegas says 1155 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 1: the Rams are favored by one. You know, every week 1156 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,720 Speaker 1: Seattle flirts with disaster, and you know, like last week 1157 00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 1: they had that weird pick six off the deflection, and 1158 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,320 Speaker 1: you know, they have a lot of strange things happening 1159 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,959 Speaker 1: to that, but they pull out games. They're a winning team. 1160 00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,640 Speaker 1: They find ways to win the Rams. I know they're 1161 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 1: coming off the win over Arizona, but it wasn't that convincing. 1162 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 1: I gotta go Seahawks in La. I'm gonna go with 1163 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 1: you now, and I think Seahawks in La. It's a 1164 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,400 Speaker 1: night game, and that La. You know, there's certain there 1165 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,440 Speaker 1: are certain players on the Seahawks defense. They'll show up 1166 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 1: during a night game, certain and they'll play very well. 1167 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,320 Speaker 1: I think I know who you're talking about. And we 1168 00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,880 Speaker 1: know that that's no real home field advantage fell Rams, 1169 00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,520 Speaker 1: not at all. They'll probably be more Seahawks fans and 1170 00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,200 Speaker 1: Rams fans. Mark appreciate it. Thanks Johnny. Up. Next, John 1171 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 1: Weeks sits down for a deep slant interview of the 1172 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,640 Speaker 1: week brought to you by Exfinity. Let's jump right back 1173 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,000 Speaker 1: in with our deep slant interview the Week brought to 1174 00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:56,320 Speaker 1: you by Exfinity is dB City with John Weeks welcome in. 1175 00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 1: It's been a while since we chat. I'm excited to 1176 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,440 Speaker 1: be here. But if you like you're making fun of 1177 01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 1: every time I see you, you saying when are we 1178 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:05,840 Speaker 1: going to do an interview? And I feel like you're 1179 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 1: mocking me because you actually don't really like maybe a 1180 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,720 Speaker 1: little bit, maybe just a little bit. But I enjoy 1181 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,680 Speaker 1: our time together. So I'm excited to be here. I 1182 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,120 Speaker 1: am excited to have you here. You have snapped on 1183 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 1: every field goal attempt, extra point in punt for Houston 1184 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,760 Speaker 1: since signing as a free agent in two thousand and ten. 1185 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,560 Speaker 1: I find that outstanding and a little hard to believe. 1186 01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 1: How about for yourself, how do you feel knowing that 1187 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 1: you've never missed a snap on any of those plays? 1188 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,880 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's an honor, really, Um. It 1189 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,120 Speaker 1: just it just proves to me that you know, I'm 1190 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,560 Speaker 1: good at my craft, at my coaches and teammates trust me, um. 1191 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 1: And the other thing. As a snapper, you always want 1192 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,240 Speaker 1: to be durable and dependable, and I know I've been 1193 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,640 Speaker 1: able to do that and when called upon, I've been 1194 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,760 Speaker 1: able to go out there and then perform at my best. 1195 01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:49,080 Speaker 1: So I'm just thankful for most thankful for the opportunity. Continually, 1196 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm still thankful for the opportunity to go out there 1197 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,840 Speaker 1: and do it today. And I love going out there 1198 01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:55,000 Speaker 1: with those guys and compete. I think that's why it 1199 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 1: was so surprising in Week seven at Indianapolists when you 1200 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 1: got banged up a little bit early in the game 1201 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:05,040 Speaker 1: and you were limping badly, but you stayed in the game, Like, 1202 01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 1: walk me through that, because was that probably the toughest 1203 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,800 Speaker 1: thing that you've had to physically play through. Yeah, you know, 1204 01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 1: That's just one of those situations where I've always told myself, 1205 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 1: as long as I'm not going to hurt my team 1206 01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,400 Speaker 1: and I still feel I can go out there and 1207 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,320 Speaker 1: perform my job to the best of my abilities and 1208 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:20,880 Speaker 1: be there for my guys, that I'm going to do it. 1209 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,240 Speaker 1: It was a situation I unfortunately rolled my ankle pretty bad, 1210 01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:26,480 Speaker 1: you know, hurt to put a little bit of weight 1211 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,800 Speaker 1: on it, but I was still able to after the 1212 01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 1: guys the training staff got me all taped up to 1213 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,440 Speaker 1: go out there and do my job and be there 1214 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 1: for my guys when they needed me. So I've always 1215 01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,360 Speaker 1: told myself again, if I can do that, that's what 1216 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 1: I was going to do, So there was never any 1217 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,040 Speaker 1: second thought about it. I mean, you're very really tough. 1218 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,040 Speaker 1: That's just a sign if I was like, how are 1219 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,919 Speaker 1: you going to run in coverage? Well, those guys are great. 1220 01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,400 Speaker 1: We have a fantastic coverage unit and a good pointer 1221 01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,080 Speaker 1: right now, and they didn't require me to do any 1222 01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,479 Speaker 1: type of running. So I really appreciate what those guys 1223 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,160 Speaker 1: did for me. So you bring up a good point 1224 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 1: with special teams. I was looking up some stats second 1225 01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL and punt return average and kickoff return average, 1226 01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 1: so allowing just two point nine yards per return on 1227 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 1: punts and about eighteen point four yards per kickoff return. 1228 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,800 Speaker 1: What about these special teams under Seely and Smith. I mean, 1229 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,080 Speaker 1: they're like this dynamic duo of special teams out there. 1230 01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 1: How strong are you feeling about this? Yeah? You know what, 1231 01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 1: we feel great in that room. You know, we know that. 1232 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,800 Speaker 1: I think going into any Sunday, you know we match 1233 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 1: up well with teams that we have an advantage with 1234 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 1: the guys that we have in our room, a bunch 1235 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:29,920 Speaker 1: of guys that love to do what they do, to 1236 01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:31,720 Speaker 1: play special teams, to do what they're asked to do, 1237 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,560 Speaker 1: and a bunch of guys that work hard at it. 1238 01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:36,439 Speaker 1: You know, we know that we can provide a spark 1239 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:37,920 Speaker 1: for our team when they need it. If we need 1240 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,280 Speaker 1: a big play, we know Brian can put them inside 1241 01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,600 Speaker 1: the five. We know that Kymy can give us a 1242 01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,160 Speaker 1: good ball on kickoff, and our guys are gonna go 1243 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,400 Speaker 1: down there and make a tackle. So I think right 1244 01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,840 Speaker 1: now everything's going well in that room. We all understand 1245 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:50,400 Speaker 1: that we can get better, and we're all working to 1246 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,200 Speaker 1: get better every week. And I think that's what special 1247 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:54,760 Speaker 1: about that room is we know we can get better, 1248 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,280 Speaker 1: and that's what we're trying to do. I'm gonna get 1249 01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,479 Speaker 1: to Brian Anger the punter in just a minute, but first, 1250 01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,320 Speaker 1: what about the idea India of special teams. You've been 1251 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,440 Speaker 1: here long enough to remember when special teams was just 1252 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,320 Speaker 1: where rookies went to play, you know, before they can 1253 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 1: get on the field on offense or defense. And now 1254 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:10,800 Speaker 1: it seems like the identity of special teams is very 1255 01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,120 Speaker 1: much its own. You've got guys that pride themselves on 1256 01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,760 Speaker 1: really contributing that A J. Moore, Guys like Taiwan Jones 1257 01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,640 Speaker 1: and Dylan Cole before he got hurt, that really they 1258 01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:20,880 Speaker 1: that's what they wanted to do, That's what they were 1259 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,000 Speaker 1: out there to do. How do you feel about that, 1260 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,600 Speaker 1: how much that has changed this aspect of Yeah, absolutely, 1261 01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,640 Speaker 1: I think that's something that you know, since kosch Obrian's 1262 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,479 Speaker 1: been here, he's stressed he you know, he's talked about 1263 01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 1: the importance of special teams and how guys roles, you know, 1264 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,520 Speaker 1: if they're not starters on offense and defense, that their 1265 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:38,200 Speaker 1: roles are going to be on special teams. And we've 1266 01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 1: got a great group of guys who have embraced that. 1267 01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:42,520 Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned a few, but you can go 1268 01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 1: up and down our special teams units with the impact 1269 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 1: players that we have, Guys that have embraced their role, 1270 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,400 Speaker 1: understand why they're here, how they contribute, how they can 1271 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,560 Speaker 1: contribute to this team and help this team win football 1272 01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,720 Speaker 1: games and ultimately get to the big game at the end. 1273 01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:56,600 Speaker 1: That's everybody's goal and that's what we're striving to do. 1274 01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,600 Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to Brian Anger. He joined early 1275 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,720 Speaker 1: on in the season. You spent some time with him 1276 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,800 Speaker 1: in training camp, and then obviously he became the punter 1277 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,800 Speaker 1: early on. What was that transition like for you? Was 1278 01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,440 Speaker 1: it tough to sort of switch punchers like that. For you, 1279 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 1: what are some of the challenges as a long snapper 1280 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,600 Speaker 1: to work on that unit? Yeah, you know, I mean 1281 01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think for us, because Brian 1282 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,160 Speaker 1: was with us in training camp, I don't think it 1283 01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,520 Speaker 1: was as much of a transition as maybe some people think. 1284 01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,960 Speaker 1: You know, me and Brian worked really well together. Me, 1285 01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,680 Speaker 1: Brian and Kaymie had plenty of reps during training camp 1286 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 1: and during the preseason together, so it was just getting 1287 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 1: used to each other again. And that took maybe a week, 1288 01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:35,960 Speaker 1: maybe two weeks tops, if you want to be super 1289 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 1: picky about it. But you know, I feel like us 1290 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,280 Speaker 1: three together, we're doing a good job, but we enjoy 1291 01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,040 Speaker 1: each other and we're having fun out there. And Brian's 1292 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,680 Speaker 1: kicking the ball. He's doing a great job. He's pinning 1293 01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 1: on those guys deep and on our defense. It's hard 1294 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,120 Speaker 1: to drive the length of the field. So you know, 1295 01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,200 Speaker 1: we just Brian keeps doing what he's doing. We're going 1296 01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,080 Speaker 1: to be in really good ship. He's second in the 1297 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,080 Speaker 1: NFL and punting yards and he had that seventy one 1298 01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,680 Speaker 1: yard or a few weeks back. Let's not telling Let's 1299 01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,800 Speaker 1: not tell him do you ever. I know we used 1300 01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 1: to joke about when Shane Leckler was here, how many 1301 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,480 Speaker 1: questions before we start asking? So I have to ask 1302 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,440 Speaker 1: you about Shane Lechler. Do you ever bring him up 1303 01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,840 Speaker 1: to Brian Angler to the guy's like, oh, when Shane 1304 01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:13,480 Speaker 1: was here, this is how he can talk. You know, 1305 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,480 Speaker 1: everybody's different, you know, and Shane was a fantastic pro 1306 01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:18,760 Speaker 1: and he taught me a lot of things and taught 1307 01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,120 Speaker 1: me a lot of things about punting. But Brian's the 1308 01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:23,280 Speaker 1: same way. Brian's a great pro. Brian's been doing this 1309 01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:25,600 Speaker 1: for a long time. So there's nothing true. There's nothing 1310 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,479 Speaker 1: that you know, I can say to Brian that Brian 1311 01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,200 Speaker 1: doesn't already himself, know so I just kind of back off, 1312 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,440 Speaker 1: you know, if it involves maybe location of a snap 1313 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,160 Speaker 1: or how I can help him, you know, with an 1314 01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,200 Speaker 1: angle of a directional kike or something like that, me 1315 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:40,960 Speaker 1: and him, or all about it. We talked in depth 1316 01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:42,960 Speaker 1: about it, try to figure out how to make the 1317 01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 1: job is easy between the both of us. But when 1318 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 1: it comes up here punting, I'm a long snap or 1319 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,240 Speaker 1: not a punter. I let the expert do that and 1320 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,240 Speaker 1: I just watch. I didn't know if there was some 1321 01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,480 Speaker 1: advice being offered there. All right, You've done a lot 1322 01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,560 Speaker 1: of things obviously many times being here for so many years, 1323 01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,400 Speaker 1: but you got a first recently with the win over 1324 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots, first time to get to beat them. How 1325 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,320 Speaker 1: special was that for you? Is that up there in 1326 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,440 Speaker 1: one of your career highlights so far? And what was 1327 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,320 Speaker 1: it like after the win for some of the veterans 1328 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,120 Speaker 1: like years, you know what it was. It was a 1329 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,760 Speaker 1: great win, it really was, and it was nice to 1330 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,120 Speaker 1: kind of get that monkey off the back. I think 1331 01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,520 Speaker 1: I've played them eight or nine times since I've been there, 1332 01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 1: and unfortunately, you know, until recently, we hadn't got one 1333 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,320 Speaker 1: on them. So it was definitely nice to get that win. 1334 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,120 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it was it 1335 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,200 Speaker 1: was just that it was another win that this team 1336 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,480 Speaker 1: really prepared for, hard, went out there, played as a team, 1337 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:32,000 Speaker 1: and we're able to get a good win against a 1338 01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:35,640 Speaker 1: very good team. So that's kind of how I've approached 1339 01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:37,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of how I've looked at it. I think 1340 01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 1: that's kind of how our guys have looked at it. 1341 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 1: We understand the challenge that we have this week against 1342 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 1: a really good Broncos team, so as much as we 1343 01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,720 Speaker 1: enjoyed that win, we have moved on and we're on 1344 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 1: to Denver now, and we gotta get ready for a 1345 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,080 Speaker 1: good team coming in here. All right, Sunday, the Denver 1346 01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:52,200 Speaker 1: Broncos come here. You get to see another old favorite, 1347 01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:54,680 Speaker 1: Kareem Jackson, and you guys get to wear your cleats. 1348 01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:56,840 Speaker 1: Might cause my cleats, which I wanted to ask you 1349 01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 1: about your cause, how you chose it and why it's 1350 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 1: so important to you. Yeah. So first, it's going to 1351 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,919 Speaker 1: be weird to see Kaream across the field. It really 1352 01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 1: will be. You know, me and Kaream came in together. 1353 01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 1: I have tremendous respect for him. He was the longest 1354 01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:12,680 Speaker 1: ten year in Texan right now, Oh we came in together. Yeah, 1355 01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 1: we're both two. You were so possessor I am, I am, 1356 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,320 Speaker 1: But UM, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Karem, 1357 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 1: love him, love his family. So I'm glad that he's 1358 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,240 Speaker 1: doing good things over there and wish him nothing but 1359 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:28,440 Speaker 1: the best. But might cause my cleads a fantastic opportunity 1360 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,920 Speaker 1: for us to kind of spread awareness for our different organizations. UM. 1361 01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,640 Speaker 1: I've partnered with two this year, UM and Basically they 1362 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:37,440 Speaker 1: kind of play off each other. One. Me and my 1363 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 1: wife have been very involved with Child Advocates since we've 1364 01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 1: got here. UM.

I 1380 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 1: think she was maybe six when she came to our 1381 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 1: I think second one, and it was an event that 1382 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,200 Speaker 1: her grandmother told us inspired her to basically want to 1383 01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,800 Speaker 1: do the same thing. So she has the past four 1384 01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,760 Speaker 1: or five years created an amazing organization called Kirston's Crew 1385 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,920 Speaker 1: where she does the same thing. She provides shopping sprees 1386 01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,920 Speaker 1: for a bunch of different foster kids in the Houston area.

She is 1390 01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:03,720 Speaker 1: an awesome, awesome young woman with a huge heart. UM. 1391 01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:07,320 Speaker 1: So we're we're happy and honored to have her be 1392 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,120 Speaker 1: a part of the cause for my cleats.

But here's Drew with Jake. 1630 01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,920 Speaker 1: Thanks so much, fellas. We've got outside the linebacker Jacob 1631 01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:19,160 Speaker 1: Martin also known as Jake Martin, and he has had 1632 01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,639 Speaker 1: a pretty nice week. But now it's on to Denver. 1633 01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:24,720 Speaker 1: Let's talk about first from when you got here week 1634 01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: one to now, how much growth have you seen from 1635 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:30,680 Speaker 1: yourself and how much growth have you seen from this 1636 01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,080 Speaker 1: defense as a whole. I would say there's been a 1637 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:36,240 Speaker 1: lot of growth grown on between myself and self, so 1638 01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:38,960 Speaker 1: like a lot of self growth, and then obviously the 1639 01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:41,400 Speaker 1: growth between me and my teammates, you know, and us 1640 01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:44,080 Speaker 1: as a team growing as as as one growing from 1641 01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,439 Speaker 1: a group to growing into a team, you know, in 1642 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,360 Speaker 1: that aspect of the game. But I would say my 1643 01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:52,160 Speaker 1: personal growth after being trade Danniard to Houston, you know, 1644 01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,519 Speaker 1: it is kind of a little disorienting, you know, trying 1645 01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:57,800 Speaker 1: to figure everything out and get settled and try to 1646 01:21:57,880 --> 01:21:59,680 Speaker 1: learn as much as I possibly could. The day that 1647 01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:02,200 Speaker 1: a guy or you know, having a notebook and asking 1648 01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:04,280 Speaker 1: questions and asking for the playbook as soon as they 1649 01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,200 Speaker 1: got here, and trying to learn and familiarize myself with 1650 01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:10,760 Speaker 1: not only the Texans terminology, you know, but how they 1651 01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:12,720 Speaker 1: see things and how they do things, and trying to 1652 01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:14,360 Speaker 1: get a feel for everyone in the building. I'm a 1653 01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,280 Speaker 1: big believer in trying to bring everyone in this organization, 1654 01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:21,679 Speaker 1: so everyone from the janitor to the chef, to assistant coaches, 1655 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 1: to the training staff to whatever, you know, try to 1656 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:25,439 Speaker 1: learn them as a person and how they operate and 1657 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:27,080 Speaker 1: how they do things, you know, just to try to 1658 01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:29,559 Speaker 1: help make their days a little bit easier. So it's 1659 01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:31,559 Speaker 1: been great so far. You know, I've always obviously grown, 1660 01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:33,280 Speaker 1: and I'm a lot more comfortable, you know, in the 1661 01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:36,080 Speaker 1: building and working with my teammates, you know, and understanding 1662 01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:37,600 Speaker 1: the system and how we do things and how we 1663 01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:39,839 Speaker 1: operate things and just to the day to day schedule, 1664 01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:41,920 Speaker 1: and it makes things a lot easier to play football. Yeah, 1665 01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,560 Speaker 1: you know, not everyone shares that same philosophy that you 1666 01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,600 Speaker 1: just mentioned that you have, but it seems like this 1667 01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,320 Speaker 1: locker room would be pretty conducive to that, and it 1668 01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:52,719 Speaker 1: seems like a lot of your teammates were pretty helpful. 1669 01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:54,439 Speaker 1: So a lot of these coaches were very helpful as 1670 01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:57,000 Speaker 1: far as bringing you up to speed in that regard, right, 1671 01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,120 Speaker 1: is that is that an accurate thing? Would you say? Yeah, 1672 01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:00,560 Speaker 1: I would say I would say, so, this is a 1673 01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,280 Speaker 1: great locker room, you know, just just like the one 1674 01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:05,120 Speaker 1: I just I left Seattle. You know, it's a lot 1675 01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:06,920 Speaker 1: of great guys, a lot of great older guys. There's 1676 01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:08,960 Speaker 1: tons of vets, and there are tons of experience, guys 1677 01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:10,920 Speaker 1: that played a lot of football. Even with the coach staff, 1678 01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:12,760 Speaker 1: there's tons of experience once coach staff, you know, with 1679 01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,640 Speaker 1: the Romeo Cornell and PAGs. You know. So there's a lot, 1680 01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:17,640 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of coaching experiences on my 1681 01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:19,879 Speaker 1: side of football, and guys to learn from like Witney Merciless, 1682 01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,840 Speaker 1: you know, and JJ Watt and Mike Adam evenly plays safety, 1683 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:25,080 Speaker 1: Mike Adams, you know, guys that have been around and 1684 01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:27,080 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of football trying to figure out how 1685 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:29,880 Speaker 1: they do things, you know, just observing. What's it like? 1686 01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,720 Speaker 1: You just brought up Cornell and PAGs and PAGs is 1687 01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:36,280 Speaker 1: Pagano John Pagano, one of the linebackers coaches. What's it 1688 01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 1: like seeing them operates, seeing them coach, seeing them teach. 1689 01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:43,759 Speaker 1: It's different. You know. I grew up watching Coach Cornell 1690 01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:45,640 Speaker 1: when he was the head coach in Kansas City. At 1691 01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,599 Speaker 1: the time, I lived in Denver, so you know, Kansas 1692 01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:50,360 Speaker 1: twice a year, right, growing up watching him and his 1693 01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,240 Speaker 1: defenses play. You know. Obviously he was an assistant coach 1694 01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 1: for the Patriots as well, you know, so watching those 1695 01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:59,240 Speaker 1: teams play football, and obviously coach Coach Purgano and his 1696 01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,840 Speaker 1: his stint with San Diego. So that's a lot a 1697 01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:03,439 Speaker 1: lot of great football minds. You know, a lot of 1698 01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,360 Speaker 1: guys that have been around great talent, Hall of Fame 1699 01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 1: caliber type dude, they didn't understand what it takes as 1700 01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:10,920 Speaker 1: a player, you know, to get yourself to that level 1701 01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:13,000 Speaker 1: and get yourself prepared, you know, And it just it 1702 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,559 Speaker 1: just helps with the terminology because they've seen so much, 1703 01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,080 Speaker 1: they've done so much, they can they can talk the 1704 01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,479 Speaker 1: same language and pick up on what you're trying to 1705 01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:22,679 Speaker 1: say to them and help teach you the new language, 1706 01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:24,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, which I think is 1707 01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:27,080 Speaker 1: I think that's that's the biggest thing when you're coming 1708 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,800 Speaker 1: into anything new in terms of like athletics is making 1709 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,680 Speaker 1: sure that your language is the same, because if my 1710 01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:36,680 Speaker 1: terminology is different than their terminology, then I can never 1711 01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:38,479 Speaker 1: we would never be on the same page, you know 1712 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:40,360 Speaker 1: what I mean. I may see something, I come come 1713 01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:42,000 Speaker 1: the sideline and describe it to them like hey, this 1714 01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:43,880 Speaker 1: and that and the third, but if they don't know 1715 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:46,320 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, like in terms of terminology, then 1716 01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:48,120 Speaker 1: they can't help me. I think that's that was the 1717 01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 1: biggest challenge, you know, just make sure my terminology, my 1718 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:52,400 Speaker 1: text and talk was at the right place. You just 1719 01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 1: brought up something very interesting and you've got a very 1720 01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:58,559 Speaker 1: unique backstory. You spent part of your youth here in Houston, 1721 01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,479 Speaker 1: in the Houston area. Then you mentioned the Denver connection. 1722 01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:03,599 Speaker 1: So what's it gonna be like when you play the Broncos? 1723 01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:06,000 Speaker 1: Be exciting? Like for me growing up, I never really 1724 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:07,960 Speaker 1: had a favorite football team, Okay, you know what I mean. 1725 01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:10,920 Speaker 1: So I just I was a fan of players, you know, 1726 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:15,040 Speaker 1: I followed players who are your favorites? Dude? For a while, 1727 01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,799 Speaker 1: if I was gonna play safety, man, so Brian Dawkins 1728 01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:21,960 Speaker 1: a good one, Sean Taylor, every ray Lewis and as 1729 01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,080 Speaker 1: that's as I started getting older, and I was like, oh, Jake, 1730 01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:27,240 Speaker 1: you're probably gonna be a linebacker, but you were always 1731 01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:30,160 Speaker 1: thinking defensively, even even at a younger age. Huh No, 1732 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:35,599 Speaker 1: that's surprisingly my dream from birth to like I realized 1733 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,920 Speaker 1: that this dream is no longer going to happen. It 1734 01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,479 Speaker 1: was like, I wanted to be number thirty nine and 1735 01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:43,200 Speaker 1: play a running back at the University of Texas. Well, 1736 01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,880 Speaker 1: I don't mean to I don't want to puff anything 1737 01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:47,519 Speaker 1: up here, but you're on a team and with a 1738 01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:49,840 Speaker 1: franchise that I don't know, the dreams are dead. I mean, 1739 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,120 Speaker 1: we just saw a trip play last week. True. J J. 1740 01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:55,519 Speaker 1: Watt has caught three touchdown passes in his stint here, 1741 01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:58,000 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't rule anything out. Yeah, I'm not gonna 1742 01:25:58,040 --> 01:25:59,120 Speaker 1: do it. But if you want a lot to your 1743 01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:01,880 Speaker 1: coaches fishing, ye, go, go right ahead. But you liked 1744 01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:04,479 Speaker 1: the University of Texas, you thought about playing running back. 1745 01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:07,320 Speaker 1: Let's let's kind of focus on the game at hand. 1746 01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,560 Speaker 1: This Denver offense, they've got some some skill out on 1747 01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:12,439 Speaker 1: the edges, and they've got a rookie quarterback. What do 1748 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,400 Speaker 1: you see from Drew Locke when you watch him on tape? 1749 01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:17,840 Speaker 1: Which is a little bit of a limited library of tape, 1750 01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:19,479 Speaker 1: if you will. Well, I got a chance to play 1751 01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:21,840 Speaker 1: Drew earlier this year in the preseason when I was 1752 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,120 Speaker 1: up in Seattle. So I think I think the kid 1753 01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:26,200 Speaker 1: is very athletic quarterback. I think he's a lot more 1754 01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:28,960 Speaker 1: more about mobile than people give him credit for. You know, 1755 01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:30,760 Speaker 1: he throws the ball pretty well. You know, he's a 1756 01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:33,040 Speaker 1: talented guy. Some some young some young weapons at his 1757 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:36,519 Speaker 1: disposal with the Philip Lindsay and Sutton. So I'm excited, 1758 01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:38,880 Speaker 1: just excited to have the opportunity to play as long 1759 01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:41,439 Speaker 1: as we play our brand of football, do as the 1760 01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:43,400 Speaker 1: game plan says, and stick to our plan, you know, 1761 01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:46,599 Speaker 1: whatever that may be, and learn and make adjustments throughout 1762 01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:48,080 Speaker 1: the game. I think it should be good game for 1763 01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:50,679 Speaker 1: the defense. Last thing, how much fun was it sacking 1764 01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:56,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brady? Oh? Off the bucket list? Love it? Last thing? 1765 01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:57,840 Speaker 1: This is truly the last thing. You know, I said 1766 01:26:57,840 --> 01:26:59,800 Speaker 1: the last thing last time, But this is the lasting 1767 01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 1: Have you always come to games wearing cowboy hats, wearing 1768 01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:06,280 Speaker 1: western wear? Is that is that something that's new this year? 1769 01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:08,280 Speaker 1: Is that something that's been going on? Well, I'm back 1770 01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:09,920 Speaker 1: in Texas, maybe so like I had, I had to 1771 01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:12,720 Speaker 1: break it back out Western where there you go. It's 1772 01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:15,280 Speaker 1: kind of nice because we haven't seen that since. Guys 1773 01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,360 Speaker 1: like Antonio Smith, he's played defensive end here. Danielle Manning 1774 01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:20,559 Speaker 1: used to be really good safety. They used to wear 1775 01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:22,920 Speaker 1: the Western wearer as well.
