Is this like 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: when Spock takes the helm or something. I don't want 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: to be Captain Kirk do. I don't want to put 11 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: myself in that position. I'd rather be McCoy or pick 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: a character Johnny from The Old Star Trek. 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 2: McCoy, well, I would like to. I would like to. 14 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 3: But I never watched The Old Star Trek. Really, I 15 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 3: really didn't. It was not one of my I don't know. 16 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 3: I guess I watched Gilgan's Island too much. I didn't 17 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 3: watch Star Trek. I watched both both. 18 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 2: I watched. 19 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, these are ancient shows for those less seasoned 20 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: people that are like, but they've seen the movies. So 21 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: I guess that applies, you know, every once in a while 22 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: while you've seen everything and you watch everything now, but 23 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: every once in a while it's like the Bible, what 24 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: is that book? I'm not even familiar with that. 25 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: Star Trek? What this is? Star Trek? I don't get it? 26 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I don't know. 27 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 2: There are a lot of things that I have holes. 28 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 3: You know, people are mad at me, I know, because 29 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 3: I haven't watched The Godfathers. So you know, I didn't 30 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 3: watch Star Trek, but I mean, if it's it was 31 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 3: a sports documentary, oh yeah, I've definitely seen it. Yeah, 32 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 3: probably probably three or four times each. 33 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: Did you see that? 34 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: What's an obscure sports movie that's still kind of the 35 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: stallone soccer movie? Did you see that one where he 36 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: plays the victory? 37 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: Yeah victory? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I saw what. I remember 38 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 2: seeing it when I was a kid. You've seen that, 39 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: and you haven't seen The Godfather I know, I know, 40 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: I know. 41 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: There's a time I'm like, okay, I got to just 42 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 3: part of it is I don't know that I want 43 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: to lock out three hours to do anything, and so 44 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 3: that's the part. So I got to like break it up, 45 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 3: kind of watch it like Soprano's Light, which, by the way, 46 00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 3: my son and I. 47 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: Are in season six. 48 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 3: We're finishing and you can't be spoilers, but we just 49 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 3: watched Chrisy die at the hands of Tony and I 50 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 3: just looked over at my son as we were watching it. 51 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 3: His eyes just went like, Oh my god, Dad, what 52 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 3: just happened. 53 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: So yeah, we've just hit that moment. 54 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: So wait, how many seasons are the six seasons total? 55 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: Right? Is that it six seasons? 56 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 3: And if the sixth season has got like twenty three 57 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 3: episodes I think so it was like one of those 58 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 3: like six like one half to two halves to it. 59 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that ended up. 60 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 3: Being like eleven twelve episodes each. So yeah, so we're finishing. 61 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 3: We're finishing that up. I don't know what's next on 62 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 3: our list, but we've gone back and watched The Wire, 63 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 3: We've watched Friday Night Lights, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, 64 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: and now we're finishing up the Sopranos. 65 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: So I like watching movies now in parts because that's 66 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: how all these series are, and it's like, oh, you 67 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: can't you can't stop a movie in the middle, Yes, 68 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: you can, because guess what all the series are basically 69 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: one long movie with cliffhangers at the end of our episodes, 70 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: so you binge watch it right? Oh did I tell 71 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: you my hack about watching these shows where they have cliffhangers, 72 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: Watch the next ten minutes of the next episode and 73 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: then come to a stopping point because that they'll resolve 74 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: whatever the cliffhanger was, and then it'll calm down. And 75 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: at that point you calm down and just pick it 76 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: up the next day. 77 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 3: I can't believe you just said that. That's exactly what 78 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 3: I do. Whenever I have been watching this show and 79 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 3: there's this cliffhanger, I watch it at least five to 80 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 3: seven minutes in the next episode. 81 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: Then I stop it. Yeah, I do the exact I 82 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: do the exact same perfect. 83 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: That's the only way I can be satisfied is watching 84 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: the next five to seven minutes when there's definitely a cliffhanger, 85 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: especially you know, for a show that was as compelling 86 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: as like Better calls like. 87 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: I got to get the next show. No, you don't 88 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: have to get the next episode in. 89 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: You just got to get the next five to seven 90 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 3: minutes and figure out what. 91 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: The cliffhanger was. Then you can go to bed, or 92 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: then you can go do off and. 93 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: Do what you need to do perfect. I like it. 94 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: I love it. Actually, yeah, all right, we got a 95 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: lot to get to today. We mentioned this before or 96 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: the building an RG stadium loaded with players this offseason. 97 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: Offseason conditioning does not begin for what another three weeks 98 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: or so, Yet this place has been stacked with players. 99 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: You have this anecdotal sort of information on it. 100 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: I do as well. 101 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: I've never seen this many players here in the off season, 102 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: especially around rodeo time. Rodeo has been over since Sunday, 103 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: but while the rodeo was going on, players jammed into 104 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: the cafeteria eating with rodeo workers because we share the 105 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: cafe space with them during the rodeo with the rodeo workers. 106 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: And it's just hilarious almost just to see all the activity. 107 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: But the guys, I got two things. The guys want 108 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: to be together. They want to be great, and they want. 109 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: To be together. 110 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: I really think the group is tight, Johnny. I think 111 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: the group is committed, dedicated. I think it says a 112 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: lot about Mike Eubanks, the strength and conditioning coach, because 113 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: you know a lot of guys, they all work out 114 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: somewhere and I don't fault them for that if you 115 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: live somewhere else, so you go to South Florida, whatever, Phoenix, 116 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: some of these guys go. But you know, already ish 117 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: guys around here working out. That's pretty darn strong. And 118 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk to Nick Asario, Tamiko Ryan's 119 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: about it next week. 120 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little obvious to that because that's one 121 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: of the things that I would love to talk to 122 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: them about too, because I feel like that's I don't 123 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 3: want to say it's it's the reason teams win, but 124 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 3: I think it's part of the makeup of why teams win. 125 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 3: And I remember, you know, way way way back when 126 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: I was coaching, you know, coaching at private schools, you 127 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 3: get kids, you know, at the time, I was in Jacksonville, 128 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: and Jacksonville was spread out, you have kids from all 129 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 3: over the place. But I knew that to be able 130 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 3: to get my teams where I wanted to, I had 131 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: to have some of that in the summer myself. And 132 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 3: so I was like, look, I know you can't make 133 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,119 Speaker 3: every workout, but we're gonna have workouts four times a week. 134 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: If we have let's say, thirty five of them over 135 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 3: the summer, let's make thirty of them. And at first 136 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: we'd have some guys, and then some guys would talk 137 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 3: to other guys like, hey man, you're missing this, you 138 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: should be here. 139 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: Then the next week we'd have more. 140 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: Guys, and by my third year, we had almost the 141 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 3: entire team shown up on a Tuesday morning at seven 142 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 3: o'clock to you know, do the workout and hang for 143 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: you know, an extra half hour afterwards, just doing whatever. 144 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 3: Like it got to a point where I had to 145 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 3: kind of kick him out, like, hey man, y'all gotta go. 146 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: I got I got a camp to run, or I 147 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: got work to do. 148 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 3: And that ended up fostering a camaraderie in a chemistry 149 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 3: that you know, when you're in high school or coaching 150 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 3: high school, you have an opportunity to foster because the 151 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: guys together year after year after year. 152 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 2: I think the NFL. 153 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 3: You can do that with your core guys year after 154 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 3: year because they'll be together. But you don't get a 155 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 3: chance to do it with everybody. But everybody that I've 156 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: talked to in the building. When I kind of give 157 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: them my theory of man, this is more guys than 158 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 3: I've ever seen, they all not and go Yep, absolutely 159 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 3: no doubt. And it's you know, it's not guys that 160 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 3: are just rehabbing injuries either, you know, it's Sting, it's Nico. 161 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 3: And I think Sting put it best on the podcast 162 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: when he talked about Nico, you know, setting a standard 163 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 3: for being in the building and being committed, and then 164 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 3: he watched. 165 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: Nico do it. He's like, I got to live up 166 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 2: to that standard. 167 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: And I just love that that the standard has been set, 168 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: that that's the way you do things. And so my 169 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 3: hope is that when you get to voluntary OTAs, voluntary 170 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: situations and conditioning, that there are guys there. The guys 171 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 3: want to be there, they want to be back together, 172 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 3: and I think that you know, starts with you know, 173 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: from ownership on down. People want to be in the building, 174 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 3: they want to be there around it, they want to 175 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: see it. There's a positive vibe everywhere you go. And 176 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: I think that's the thing that Demko has really preached 177 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 3: for his players is yeah, I'm gonna coach you hard, 178 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: but it's a positive vibe about what we got going on, 179 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: and I I love it. I think it's an absolute 180 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: necessity the championship teams that want to be able to 181 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: play at that high level because you know as well 182 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: as I do, Mark, when things get tough, you're gonna 183 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 3: give up on your brother. Yeah, well, you give up 184 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: on somebody you don't know, sure, but you won't on 185 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 3: your brother. And when you spend that much time together, 186 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: you end up having that brotherhood as it's often talked about. 187 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: And you won't give up on your family members. 188 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 3: And I think that's the biggest thing that this fosters 189 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: and I love seeing it. You know that as a 190 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: former coach, I'd love seeing all these guys in the building. 191 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 2: It's really cool. 192 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: Well, what you said about Sting, what Sting said about Nico, 193 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: that Nico sets a standard, He's doing it, I got 194 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: to do it, I'm paraphrasing. Yeah, there's so much to 195 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: unpack there, because Nico being the third best receiver in 196 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: the history of this franchise behind one guy who's in 197 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame and another guy who might get 198 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,599 Speaker 1: in and DeAndre Hopkins probably will at some point, you 199 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: would think, or he'll have a chance yep, still says 200 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: a lot about him and Nico being third on that list. 201 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: And then you look at a third round draft choice 202 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: and Sting is using him as a standard setter, sting 203 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: number three overall pick in the draft. And I'm not 204 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: talking draft necessarily here, but just a little tidbit of 205 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: let's look forward to this because Caln Bullock's not a 206 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: first round draft choice, Kamari Lassner is not a first 207 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: round draft choice. Jallen Petrie is not, Nico Collins is not. 208 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: These guys are core guys to this team, and it 209 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: should get everybody excited for what's about to happen in 210 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: now less than four weeks when the NFL Draft takes 211 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: place and the Texans make their next selections and we'll 212 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: see what Nick Cassario can cook up. So I'm looking 213 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: forward to that. But it's Friday night. We're gonna have 214 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: a little fun tonight. Win totals are out, and we 215 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: don't really talk about the boys from the Desert much 216 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: and their prognostication on how things might work out in 217 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: this league. But it's fun. It's late March, early April. 218 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Win total projections for NFL teams. 219 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: Are you ready? Yeah? I didn't even know these were out, 220 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 2: all right, let's go. Yeah. 221 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I got this from ESPN and they sort 222 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: of aggregate everything. Let's just go right to the source 223 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: or right to the Texans, right to the team we 224 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: care about most. Here on this list, can you guess 225 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: what the win total projection the over under might be 226 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: on Texans victories in twenty twenty five? 227 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: Nine and a half. 228 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: That is absolutely correct. You are right on the money. 229 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: And there are a bunch of squads at nine and 230 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: a half. They put the Texans at nine and a 231 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: half because I don't know, they won ten each of 232 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: the last two years. Are they gonna do worse than ten? 233 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: I guess if you put them at ten and a half, 234 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: everybody's taking the ten right. Everybody's gonna say, let me hedge, 235 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: let me be careful here on this prediction. And if 236 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: you're investing money in it, I get it. But nine 237 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: and a half makes it. I still say everyone's going 238 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: to go for the over here, but maybe not everyone. 239 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on nine and a half and 240 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: how they see the Houston Texans, because that's what this 241 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: is all about. It's really how they think everyone else 242 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: sees the Houston Texans. 243 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: But speak to that. 244 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think one of the things that you know, 245 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 3: that's why I came up with nine and a half. 246 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: You know ten, Okay, then it's nine. No, I think 247 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: you would. 248 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 3: I think if Vegas looks at ten and like, well 249 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 3: they got ten the last couple of years, we put 250 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 3: it at ten, we're talking about a push or we're losing. 251 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 3: Vegas losing because people are just gonna hit the over 252 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 3: and it's either gonna be a push at ten wins 253 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 3: or they're gonna get eleven. This is a team that's 254 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 3: gonna win nine. They still play in the AFC South. 255 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: That's five wins, you would think. Then they're gonna play 256 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 3: two other divisions where they're playing the fourth place team 257 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 3: and two fourth place teams and the other divisions, that's 258 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 3: another couple of wins. You would think that's seven. Like, 259 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 3: oh boy, so let's just put this at nine and 260 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: a half. They get to ten, all right, we're gonna 261 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: end up losing, but hey, it's a first place schedule. 262 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 2: They gotta play. 263 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 3: So they got to play the Ravens, the Chiefs, and 264 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 3: the Bills again and they were one to two against 265 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 3: those teams last year. They've got to play the NFC West. 266 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: It's a pretty competitive division, you know last year, and 267 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 3: against the NFC they're one to three, so I could 268 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 3: see Vegas going Yeah, man, I think nine to ten 269 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 3: wins is probably where they sit. That win a division 270 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: more than likely, but I don't know that they can 271 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 3: get more than ten, and if they get one game 272 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 3: to go the other way, so that's nine all right, 273 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: split the middle and go nine and a half. So 274 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 3: I do think this team is good, a flying to 275 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,599 Speaker 3: the radar for a lot of people. I think a 276 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: lot of power rankings have that at fourteen or fifteen 277 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 3: right now. 278 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: It's just fine. 279 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 3: I much rather be there right now and then all 280 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 3: of a sudden, teams or people wake up during the 281 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 3: middle of the season go, WHOA, that team is a 282 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 3: lot better than we thought, and as opposed last year 283 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 3: where everybody's like, oh they're three or four, and we 284 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 3: weren't quite ready for that last year. 285 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: So we'll see how it ends up going. 286 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 3: But I think nine and a half was just a 287 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 3: I think in fact it was last year was nine 288 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 3: and a half as well, so it's probably about the same. 289 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 3: They probably look at and go the offensive line might 290 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 3: not be as good. I think it's gonna be better 291 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: just overall. So I feel really confident firing over nine 292 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 3: and a half. Now it's gonna be fifteen wins? No, 293 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 3: But do I think that they play better against the 294 00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: Ravens the Chiefs. 295 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 2: They play in a vision that. 296 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 3: The NFC West I don't think is as good as 297 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: people think, as good as the NFC North was last year. 298 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 3: So I think they could pick up a game or 299 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 3: two there, and I think it ended up being an 300 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 3: another double digit season for this team. 301 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: All right, So do you want to hear the text here? 302 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: There's just three sentences. Texans are fourteen six and three 303 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: on season long win totals in franchise history, but have 304 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: only gone over twice in the last five seasons, including 305 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: last season. Well, wait a minute, twice in the last 306 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: five seasons. That would be each of the last two seasons, 307 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: because there's no way. I don't even know what the 308 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: projected wind total was in twenty twenty three, but there's 309 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: no way. 310 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: It was nine and a. 311 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: Half, right, So they went over yet, so over over 312 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: in Demico Ryant's first two years on this list of 313 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: projected win totals, and then six double digit win seasons 314 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: in franchise history since two thousand and two, that's the 315 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: start of it. Four have come in the last seven years. Okay, 316 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: so only six. It's true because you look at twenty eleven, 317 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: twenty twelve, and then there's a long break before you 318 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: get to Even though they won the division in fifteen 319 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: and sixteen, that was with nine wins each time, and 320 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: then so you go eighteen, nineteen, twenty three, twenty four 321 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: for their double digit win seasons. I think they're in 322 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: good shape for another double digit win season. I know 323 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: that things can go wrong. We all know it. They 324 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: could have gone wrong last year. They didn't. The year before, 325 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: you thought maybe it would be really tough to get 326 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: to ten. They got to ten. I like them to 327 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: get to ten. And I don't know if I've ever 328 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: really said that. I did say it last year. I 329 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: did say it last year, so it might have been 330 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: the only two times in franchise history I've ever really 331 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: said that. But Johnny, let me. I'm going to ask 332 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: you yes or no. Are you surprised that these following 333 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: teams have win totals of ten and a half as 334 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: the Texans have win total projections of nine and a half? Okay, 335 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: are you ready for these? Tell me if you're surprised 336 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: or not. You're not surprised about Detroit. I'm going to 337 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: predict that. 338 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, Detroit, I think, yeah, yes, right, all right. 339 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: The Bengals ten and a half. Surprised at I am 340 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: absolutely I surprised. 341 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 3: Yes, I don't think there's any way the Bengals are 342 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 3: getting at ten and a half. 343 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. 344 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 3: I know everybody gets excited about them. Oh, they kept 345 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 3: Jamar chasing t Higgins together, that's great. And they might 346 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 3: sign Trey Hendrickson, that's awesome. The rest of what they have, 347 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 3: I mean, the the I don't know what the cap 348 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: numbers end up being for all those guys, but I 349 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 3: know that those four guys are taking up a significant 350 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 3: number of cap, a significant significant amount of cap. And 351 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 3: that's just I can't see it. I can't see the 352 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 3: Bengals at ten and a half. Now, do I think 353 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 3: they're gonna be a nine to ten win team, yes. 354 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 2: Eleven win team? Ooh, man, I just I don't see it. 355 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 3: They're gonna score a lot of points, but they're gonna 356 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 3: they're gonna win some shootouts, but they're gonna lose a 357 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 3: lot of games when their defense has to come up 358 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 3: big and it can't do it at the end of 359 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 3: the game. 360 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: The LA Chargers, the LA Super Chargers ten and a 361 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: half wins. 362 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 2: Surprised or not? No, not kind of. 363 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 3: And here's why. It's a second year with Harball. I 364 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 3: think a lot of people think, oh, first year with 365 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: Harball was great, look at the strides they made. Second 366 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 3: year will be even better. I just after seeing the 367 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 3: Chargers up close, I just wasn't really completely impressed with them. 368 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: I really wasn't. 369 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: I was like, man, I get it with Herbert and 370 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 3: he had a bad game against us, and we forced 371 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 3: that bad game on him. But I just I didn't 372 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: see it. I really didn't see it. So not being 373 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 3: set ten and a half is it's kind of a surprise. 374 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 3: But then again, it's an LA team that's the second 375 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 3: year of a really well known head coach. I could see, oh, yeah, 376 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 3: they'll definitely take strides and win a couple more games, 377 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 3: and they probably some people that believe the Chiefs are 378 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 3: probably gonna step back a little bit and that the 379 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 3: Chargers could pick up a game or two. 380 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 2: In that way. 381 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 3: So I'm kind of surprised because I just don't buy 382 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 3: the Chargers, and you know me. 383 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: I used to. 384 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: I was pumping up the Chargers for Harball, got there 385 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 3: because I. 386 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 2: Felt like they had a lot of talent. 387 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,119 Speaker 3: But now that talent got older, well Max close to retirement, 388 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 3: Boats has already gone. I don't know if they've replaced 389 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 3: those guys with guys that scare me at all. 390 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: Yes, they got. 391 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 3: Derwin James with the corners were just awful against us. 392 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 3: I'm just not I'm not buying it, But I'm not 393 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 3: surprised because I can understand the La factor and Harb 394 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 3: on his second year got it. 395 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: We're doing projected win totals NFL teams for twenty twenty 396 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: five from the Boys in the Desert Nevada, and that's 397 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: how they like to say it. Nevada now Nevada. It's 398 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: Nevada to the locals. That's just the way it is. 399 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: I don't make the rules. The Rams ten and a 400 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: half wins, that's their projected total. Surprised or not, we 401 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: played the boys, we played them in LA this year. 402 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 3: Well, I mean yeah, I'm looking forward to that. I love, 403 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 3: you know, I love going to LA for a number 404 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 3: of reasons. 405 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 2: I could see that. 406 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 3: I could see, you know, the Niners coming off of 407 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 3: season last year where it wasn't as good, and maybe 408 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 3: the Niners aren't, you know. And we've seen a lot 409 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 3: of the Niners personnel jettisoned in different ways. I'll get 410 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 3: to them at all trades. Yeah, yeah, So somebody's got 411 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 3: to pick up the slack. And I'm not sure the 412 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 3: Cardinals are ready to do that just yet. I feel 413 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 3: like there may be. I thought they were a year 414 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 3: away last year, but I still think they're probably. 415 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 2: A year away. And I don't know that the Seahawks. 416 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 3: Even though if the Seahawks won ten wins last year, 417 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 3: I'm still not buying the Seahawks. 418 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: I mean, Sam Donald, how's that gonna go? 419 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 3: I don't know, right, So somebody's got to pick up 420 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 3: those wins. And I think the Rams over the last 421 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 3: half of last year really. 422 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: Started playing better together. 423 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 3: And after what the Eagles did the Commanders and what 424 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 3: the Eagles did to the Chiefs. 425 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: The Rams had them beat. 426 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 3: Rams had to make one playdown a stretch and didn't 427 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 3: make it in Philly in the snow. If the Rams 428 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 3: can get those games at home, man, so I think 429 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 3: the Rams can end up winning eleven or twelve. 430 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 2: I just hope it's US that beats him. In LA. 431 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: Another team the Texans are playing projected win total. By 432 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: the way, if you just joined us the Texans nine 433 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: and a half, that's the projected total. We think, we 434 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: think it's low. I'll take the over even though I 435 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: don't bet ever the forty nine ten and a half wins. 436 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: Surprised or not, Yeah. 437 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: That's surprising, yeap. You just look at the personnel losses 438 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 3: on that team. Look that you know Deebo's gone. 439 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,959 Speaker 2: I know Debo hasn't played extremely well, but Kittle's been 440 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 2: hurt a lot in the last few years. 441 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 3: And if you take Deebo off and Brandon Iyuk he 442 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 3: was hurt and you don't know when he's coming back, 443 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 3: if he's coming back, because there's been some concernration behind 444 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 3: the scenes about that one. So Juwan Jennings and you know, 445 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 3: Ricky Piersol got to kind of hold it down. And 446 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: on the offensive line wasn't as good last year defensively, 447 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 3: I don't know. It's it's okay, right, So I don't 448 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 3: know that I'm buying that now. Do I think the 449 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 3: forty nine ers will be better? They gonna push the 450 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 3: rams for that division? Yeah, but that feels like a 451 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 3: division that this year is going to be won by 452 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 3: a team ten and seven, eleven and six, okay, And 453 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 3: I don't think that ends up being the niners. 454 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: I think the Rams are gonna win a division. So yeah, 455 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: and plus. 456 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 3: So those forty nine ers at ten and a half, 457 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 3: the Rams at ten and a half. O man, Yeah, 458 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 3: your best bet is to, you know, take both under. 459 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 3: You'll win one for sure, and then maybe you hope 460 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 3: the other one doesn't get to ten and seven and 461 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 3: you'll win both of them. 462 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: It's a good point because I don't think these add 463 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: up to the appropriate number with all these think so 464 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: either win totals on top, Ravens Bills, Chiefs all eleven 465 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: and a half for the projected win total. I feel 466 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: like Pendergass talking about this stuff. So Chiefs eleven and 467 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: a half, Bills eleven and a half, Ravens eleven point five, 468 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: and you play all three. That is your punishment for 469 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: winning the division again, you play all three? Schedule comes 470 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: out early. May you know at least one or two 471 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: of these are gonna be prime timers, Johnny? 472 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 2: So what do you think here? I mean, those seem 473 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 2: about right. 474 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,239 Speaker 1: Nobody has a win total higher, a projection higher than 475 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: eleven point five. Those are the highest even we're the Eagles. 476 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: Eagles eleven point five. I mentioned Detroit ten point five 477 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: and Washington ten point five. Not a surprise there for Washington. 478 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: But this all seems about right. They don't want to 479 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: go on any limbs and say someone's gonna go, you know, 480 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: thirteen and four or something like that. 481 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: No, because one injury and you lost that bet. 482 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 3: As Vegas, you know, you have a bunch of people 483 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 3: take under they're not gonna win thirteen games, and then 484 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 3: a team gets hot and they start winning, but then 485 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 3: an injury happens, and of course you go nine and 486 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 3: you know, nine to eight. So yeah, Vegas very typically 487 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 3: does not put high, high high numbers on win totals. 488 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 3: So eleven and a half, can you get the twelve? 489 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 3: Who gets the twelve wins? Ravens Bill's Chiefs. I mean 490 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 3: there's a good chance all three of them get there. 491 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 3: To be honest, I mean, they've all got to play 492 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 3: each other, they've all got to play us. I think 493 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 3: we're gonna be better. I think if a team takes 494 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 3: a step back and people forget this, and then I 495 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 3: tried to remind them even though they got the Super Bowl, 496 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 3: the Chiefs probably had three or four games that they 497 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 3: had no business winning. 498 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 2: Yep, Broncos. 499 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 3: They had the Chiefs block to Broncos last second field goal, 500 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: the interference call against the Bengals early Isaya likely's toe 501 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 3: being on the line on fourth down, and in the opener, 502 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 3: probably three or four games that very easily could have 503 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,719 Speaker 3: gone the other way for the Chiefs. And at that point, 504 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 3: then how did the playoffs play out? If the Chiefs 505 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 3: end up ten and seven and they come in second, 506 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 3: they're a wildcard down the road? Do they come to 507 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 3: Houston in the first round? So you know, it's all 508 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 3: kinds of things. But but the Chiefs did win those games. 509 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 3: But how often can you keep that kind of string 510 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 3: of luck going. 511 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 2: Uh So, that's gonna be interesting to see whether they 512 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 2: can do that. 513 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 3: But I wouldn't be surprised, honestly, if all three of 514 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 3: them get to twelve wins. 515 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 2: I think probably one of them. There's one of them 516 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 2: I was. 517 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 3: Gonna say, I think will struggle to get to twelve wins. 518 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say the Chiefs. I think the other two 519 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 3: will get right at twelve wins. I think there's enough competition. 520 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 3: It's a long season. I think going fourteen to three 521 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 3: is really, really, really an accomplishment, and I don't know 522 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 3: that's gonna happen all that often, even though it happened 523 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 3: a few times for a few teams this year, I 524 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 3: don't know that's gonna happen all that often because it's 525 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 3: such a long grind. So sure, I think the Ravens 526 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 3: and Bills will get there. Definitely, Ravens I feel good about. 527 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 3: I feel good about the Ravens getting to twelve. I 528 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 3: think the Bills will get there. I still think the 529 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 3: AFC East is not quite the most difficult division, but 530 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 3: I don't think the Chiefs will get there. I think DAVEC. 531 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 3: West will be better. I hope we beat them in 532 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 3: Kansas City. That would be kind of nice. But you know, 533 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 3: your luck doesn't typically ride from year to year. Luck 534 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 3: is not something that you know carries over from year 535 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 3: to year. So the luck happened at twenty twenty four, 536 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 3: I don't know that happens at twenty twenty five. 537 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna short the Chiefs, okay, but I'm gonna 538 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 2: go with the Ravens Bills shorting them. 539 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: Nick would like this kind of talk, Yeah, I like 540 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 1: this kind of financial talk, all right, So two AFC 541 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: South teams are tied with with the same win total, 542 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: and I guess you know who they are? 543 00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 2: Or do you it? 544 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 1: They're not the last place AFC South team in win 545 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,719 Speaker 1: total projection, they're tied with the same number. Do you 546 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: care to guess the number and the teams? 547 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 2: My guess is it's Titans Jags. 548 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: That's incorrect. Ooh, it's Colts Jags. Can you guess the 549 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: win total projection? The Titans are behind them in projection? 550 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 3: Uh so Colts Jags. 551 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say seven and a half. 552 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: Six and a half. Boy, you're generous, You are generous. 553 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: But I get it. 554 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 3: I was leaning more with the Colts mark the Colts, 555 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 3: I thought, But then again, it's like you got Daniel 556 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 3: Jones and Trent Richardson, and that to me is kind 557 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 3: of a you know, when you do these totals, that's 558 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 3: seemingly what this is unless the team has just had 559 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 3: so much turnover or so much addition through free agency, 560 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 3: and it's either that or it's quarterback. And when you 561 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 3: look at the quarterback situation for the Colts, you just 562 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 3: don't see it. But but I would have felt like 563 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 3: they would have put the Colts in seven half, like 564 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 3: the Colts can get the eight nine wins by just 565 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 3: getting Daniel Jones to play solid football, just solid football. 566 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 3: So I would go over the Colts. But Jags six 567 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 3: and a half. I think they'll get to seven, but 568 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 3: I think that's the max for them. I think they 569 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 3: get to seven this year and then it's going to 570 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 3: be it's gonna be an interesting watch the next year 571 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 3: after that to see what the magnificent Gladstone does with 572 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 3: a full year of work in Jacksonville. 573 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: And you thought that the Texans would go five and 574 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: one in the division. That's that's always tough. That's always 575 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: tough to go five and one in the division. And 576 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: last year the one stinker you threw in cost you 577 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: that perfect division record. One stinker as far as against 578 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: a poor team, and the Tennessee Titans. 579 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 2: Year at home, My gosh, yeah, and it happened. 580 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,959 Speaker 1: We all saw so six and a half the win 581 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: total for the Jags and Colts projection, and the team 582 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: with the poorest win total projection in the league. You 583 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: want to guess who it is who's gonna finish last. 584 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: It was a little bit of a surprise to me, 585 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: a little bit. Giants no Browns. Four and a half's 586 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: the projection. We're the giants on this thing. 587 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 2: Five. We don't even know what the Browns. We don't 588 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 2: even know who the Browns. 589 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: That's crazy. This is all crazy, but it's fun. We 590 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: don't have any draft capital spent yet, so we don't 591 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: know who the Titans quarterback is going to be, for instance, 592 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: and they have a win total projection of five and 593 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: a half. I mean, the assumption is cam Ward joins 594 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: the team and they win more than five games, maybe 595 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: more than six. 596 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 2: I don't know about that. 597 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: We'll see. 598 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 2: I think. 599 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: Look, the division is not a good one. We all 600 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: know that. We know it's the Texans and everybody else. 601 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,479 Speaker 1: But there are enough assets with the Jags and the 602 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: Colts to certainly make a big jump if they play well, 603 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: and I guess that's a big if. And the Titans 604 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: can certainly get a lot better if cam Ward can 605 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: do anything. 606 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And you know, this might be a time 607 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 3: to buy the Titans, you know, buy them low and 608 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 3: then hope that cam Ward is the next jayde Daniels 609 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 3: c J. Stroud, he has that rookie year. I mean, 610 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 3: I'm hoping he doesn't, and I'm not sure that he's 611 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 3: going to But Kim Wart's got enough talent, he's got 612 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 3: enough hootspa, and he's overcome adversity too. He didn't just 613 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 3: step into that role at Miami. He had to go 614 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 3: to our incarnate word. You had to go to Washington State. 615 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 3: He'd kind of go through those two situations before he 616 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 3: got to Miami, so he knows what it's like to 617 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 3: go through adversity. But I you know, people, I've heard 618 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 3: the guys on Sports rated six ten. I think it 619 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 3: was John Lopez talking about, Hey, look what the Titans 620 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 3: are doing. They're like, oh, they spent a lot of 621 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 3: money on Dan Moore. It's like, yeah, they spent a 622 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 3: lot of money on Dan Moore. It wasn't like they 623 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 3: spent a lot of money on Trent Williams, but he 624 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 3: spent a lot of money on you Laromy Tunsel. They 625 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 3: spent money on Dan Moore. You know a guy that 626 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 3: was a fourth rounder that really was not great when 627 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 3: he was with the Steelers, but he was basically the 628 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 3: highest rated free agent tackle in a really not so 629 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 3: good group. Jac Latham is still a second year player. 630 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 3: Scorronski still had hit his ceiling or not even come 631 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 3: close to his ceiling, so you can. Yeah, they've made 632 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 3: some moves, and I think Zeitler will be a good one. 633 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 3: But still not buying that the Titans are all that 634 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 3: in a bag of ships. I don't like Calvin Ridley. 635 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 3: I don't know that they spending money on him was wise. 636 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 3: They're losing Nick Westbrook, Akina. He was always solid and reliable. 637 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 3: I'm just not gonna buy the Titans being that sort 638 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 3: of team until I they're gonna be a team. 639 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 2: I'll believe it when I see it. Yeah, me too, 640 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 2: Me too. 641 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: Other notables here, Patriots seven and a half. That's their 642 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: projected win total. And if you're just joining US, Texans 643 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: nine and a half, tied with a bunch of teams, 644 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: so seven and a half. That's great respect for Mike 645 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: Vrabel and the off season acquisitions. Obviously, Yes, the Raiders 646 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: five and a half. I'd go over on that. I 647 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: like the Raiders was to win more than that anyway 648 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: than the Raiders. 649 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 3: Play US, they play the AFC South, you know, and 650 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 3: I think with Gino Smith, you know, not to say 651 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 3: the Raiders are gonna run rough shot through the AFC South, 652 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 3: but you know, with the quarterback situation they had last year, 653 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 3: they probably go for quarterback situations situation to have this year. 654 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 2: They get two maybe three wins yep. 655 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 3: So you know, and Carroll brings in his energy and 656 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 3: his excitement the Raiders are. That's a I'm gonna have 657 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 3: to mentally pencil that one in my mind. 658 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a lack of respect here for the 659 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: Steelers with an eight and a half win total projection. 660 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: Now they don't have the quarterback situation solidified, but eight 661 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: and a half wins I think is light considering with 662 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: whoever they were able to win ten back to back, 663 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: So I think you got to give them a little 664 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: respect here. Vikings eight and a half because JJ McCarthy, 665 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: Dolphins eight and a half because Dolphins to hurt. Cowboys 666 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: eight and a half because it'll get everybody talking. They 667 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: were great or really good in the win total in 668 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: the regular season two and three years ago. But how 669 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: are we doing last year? Not so well?

So 699 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 3: I fell asleep on a couch. I fell asleep on 700 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 3: a couch watching Cooper Flag go off. Cooper Flag was 701 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 3: unbelievable last night's basketball with Alabama playing like loyal Merrymount. 702 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 2: That was incredible. 703 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 3: It was absolutely unbelievable to watch him shoot the ball 704 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 3: the way they did. 705 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 2: It was such a fun night. 706 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 3: So I fall asleep on a couch and when I 707 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 3: wake up, I thought I heard whoever was calling the game, 708 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 3: Kevin Harlan say something about a sixteen point lead. Yeah, 709 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 3: but I couldn't remember whether he said that Arkansas held 710 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 3: on or that Texas Tech one. 711 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 2: I couldn't, but I'm like, oh, yeah, I recorded the game. 712 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,239 Speaker 2: So I got up first thing in the morning and 713 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 2: I watched it. 714 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 3: I didn't look at my phone and I watched it 715 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 3: and I see the sixteen point lead, and I was like, oh, 716 00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 3: I bet Arkansas hangs on. 717 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 2: Then as the game goes on. 718 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 3: Texas Tech is getting back in and making a few shots. 719 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, no, maybe he met Texas Tech won 720 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 3: and came back from sixteen point lead. But then when 721 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 3: Arkansas has got a sixteen point lead with like five minutes. 722 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: Left, like five minutes left, crazy. 723 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that's what he meant. They held on. 724 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 3: They had a sixteen point lead, but they hold on 725 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 3: at the end, Arkansas going to the lead eight. That 726 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 3: is one of the best NTBLA games I've seen this year. 727 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 3: It was absolutely incredible. I hated for you, Buddy, Cal 728 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 3: and I hated for Hawk fans. I know Clint Sterner 729 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 3: and his mom are probably, you know, crying in their 730 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 3: Anheuser Busch this morning. 731 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 2: But that said, it was. 732 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 3: One hell of a b episode and what a comeback 733 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 3: from Texas Tech. 734 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,239 Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. 735 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 3: There's a moment in that game where Hawkins, the point guard, 736 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 3: makes a three point basket in overtime. He was zero 737 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 3: for nine. He had not hit a shot all game. 738 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 3: He was short on everything. He missed and he missed, 739 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 3: and he missed and he missed. And finally when Tech 740 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 3: needs is shot with like two minutes overtime, he finally 741 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 3: hits a three. And I just like I was so 742 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 3: early in the morning, I was trying to wake everybody 743 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 3: up when he hits that three. I'm like pumping on 744 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 3: my fists for him because I know how tough that 745 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 3: was to miss all those shots. But what a basketball 746 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 3: game that was. I mean, that was the game of 747 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 3: the tournament. To me, that was incredible to watch that game. 748 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 2: Great for the Red Raiders. 749 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: I'm very happy for my Red Raider friends and go 750 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,479 Speaker 1: Red Raiders now until they face the Koogs. 751 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 2: So there, I'm down with it. 752 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: I am. I just root for Caliperry because I worked 753 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: with him. So Okay, NFL International games seven of them, Johnny, 754 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: there are seven international games. This is crazy and I 755 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: would imagine, I would hope that at the NFL annual 756 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: meeting next week we get some revelation as to who's 757 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: going to play in these outings, right, because there are 758 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: three in London with the Browns, Jets, and Jags. The 759 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: Steelers have the Ireland game, the Colts have the Germany game, 760 00:33:55,520 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: the Dolphins have the Spain game, and the Chargers are 761 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: in Brazil. So let me ask you this, take London out. 762 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: Where would you want to go if you had a chance. Now, 763 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: the Texans do not play the Steelers or the Dolphins, 764 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: but they do play the Colts and the Chargers. So 765 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: those are possibilities, Germany and Brazil. But where would you 766 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: want to go? Eliminating London as a possibility. 767 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 2: London would be number one for me, but you you 768 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 2: eliminated that one. Yep. I've been to Madrid. It's one 769 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 2: of the few places I've been to internationally. 770 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 3: We went for an international basketball tournament back when I 771 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 3: was coaching in Jacksonville. What was the group of Jacksonville 772 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 3: All Stars to play in Madrid or just outside Madrid, 773 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 3: and that was one of the most incredible athletic events 774 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 3: I've ever been to in my life. It was unbelievable. 775 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 3: Euro Basketball so different, and we bring this group of 776 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 3: you know, Jacksonville All Stars over there and it was 777 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 3: some of the most emotional sporting moments of my life. 778 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 3: It was incredible. So I've been to Madrid, so to me, 779 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 3: it would be Germany or Brazil. I've always kind of 780 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 3: wanted to go to Germany, so I would say Germany 781 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 3: and to play the Colts over in Germany. I guess 782 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 3: that would be kind of cool, even though I love 783 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 3: Lucas Soil. 784 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 785 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 3: So uh, and I don't really want to go to 786 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 3: Brazil because that would mean that we would lose a 787 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 3: game of going to LA, and you know I want 788 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 3: to go to LA for a number of reasons. Yeah, 789 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 3: so right, I'm gonna go ahead and go with Germany 790 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 3: to take on the Colts. 791 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, if I if the opponent doesn't matter, we can 792 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 1: go anywhere we want. I would pick Ireland because I've 793 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: never been there and it's a great chest to go 794 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 1: to Ireland. So I would say Steelers in Ireland, Ireland, 795 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 1: but we don't play the Steelers. Now it could be 796 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: the Chargers Colts. I'll throw another wrinkle in there if 797 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: somehow you don't go this year. And look, with seven games, 798 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: you know the league is just gonna pour it on. 799 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: And if they do these countries every year, guess what 800 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: gets added next year. Australia might throw anut of the 801 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,720 Speaker 1: shrimp on the Bobby. So you're gonna go to us. 802 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: It'll be an NFC team because they have the nine 803 00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: home games next year. 804 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 2: So that yeah, I think it's the Rams. It's the 805 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 2: Rams Australia. 806 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: Okay, so you'll, oh, well the good good. That means 807 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: the Texans won't go to Australia. Now I'd love to 808 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: go to Australia. Johnny I really would. I don't know 809 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: about love. I'd like to go to Australia, but not 810 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: with the team. I think that that is a trip. 811 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: It's a hard trip not to miss. I don't want 812 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: to miss it. I'll go if they go, obviously it. 813 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: I'll go happily. But I think it's tough on your 814 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: team to go to freaking Australia. I mean, you need 815 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: like a three week by after go to Australia. You know. 816 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 2: That's my worry too. Yeah, that's my worry too about Australia. 817 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 2: Is that to turnaround? How do you? 818 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 3: How does your body fly to Australia play a football game? 819 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,439 Speaker 3: Do you everything you got to do in Australia fly 820 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 3: back and play a football game within. 821 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 2: The next ten days? Yeah? I know, I don't know. 822 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 2: I don't know how you do that. So I do. 823 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 3: I do worry. I worry about that. Yes, I've never 824 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 3: been to Australia. I think going to Australi would be fun. 825 00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 3: I know our buddy South.

I 857 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: would venture to say what the Texans went through last 858 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: year with a seven week camp, in the Hall of 859 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: Fame game, the extra preseason game, and no buy for 860 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: thirteen weeks might affect you more than actually taking one 861 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 1: of these international trips early. 862 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's right. 863 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 3: There were if you'd have taken one thing out of 864 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 3: that equation, like starting training camp a little bit later, 865 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 3: not having thirteen in a row, not having a Hall 866 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 3: of Fame game, If you could have taken one of 867 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 3: those aspects out, I think it would have been better. 868 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 3: I would absolutely, without a doubt take international game, not 869 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 3: having thirteen in a row and starting training camp in 870 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 3: you know, the twenty five, twenty six, twenty seventh sort. 871 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 2: Of dayframe that I would rather do than what we 872 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 2: did last year. 873 00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: You know what kind of bothers me though? All Right, 874 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: So NFL. Preseason football used to be showcased internationally in Mexico, 875 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 1: in Asia, even in Europe. But preseason is not good 876 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: enough yet yet. When we get the soccer teams here now, 877 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: unless it's World Cup or Copa or something like that, 878 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: we get exhibition games. When we had Manchester United and 879 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: Manchester City playing. 880 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,720 Speaker 2: Here the Derby, it was not the Derby. 881 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: It was an exhibition derby, right, it's not the real Derby. 882 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: And why is it pronounced that way? It just bothers 883 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: the daylights out. I don't ry Derby. Is it Dobby 884 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: Debby anyway? But you know what I'm saying here, I 885 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: guess preseason soccer is acceptable, but preseason football is unacceptable. 886 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 2: You just take it and like it. That's what I think, Mark, I. 887 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 3: I just feel like the the preseason games are fun, 888 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 3: and I know owners don't want to give up every 889 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,280 Speaker 3: single game, but it's like, you know, put the pre season, 890 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 3: put like a whole Put a whole week of preseason 891 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 3: in international locations, go. 892 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 2: To camp in London. 893 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, sixteen games. Do a week. Okay, here here's the plan. Yeah, 894 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 3: sixteen games, pick sixteen different international locations, send the two 895 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 3: teams there and do two joint practices in a preseason 896 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 3: game by everybody back home, and then you finish up 897 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 3: your training camp, get get to the regular seas. 898 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,280 Speaker 1: Wow, and that you know what if you did that, honestly, 899 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: if you had people going to practice and then going 900 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: to a preseason game, they'd get to know the team. 901 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 1: You can have lots of interviews with the players, get 902 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: to know the players, and then let's all watch the 903 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,359 Speaker 1: NFL season because it's a TV sport. Let's all watch 904 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: the NFL season together from all over the world. Because 905 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: this is very difficult to swing. However, forget it. The 906 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: horses out of the barn. It's gonna happen. Eventually, they'll 907 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: go sixteen regular season games outside the country. You know 908 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: it's coming, all right?

JJO legendary corner back for the Houston Texans, 915 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,720 Speaker 1: acquired in twenty eleven, and we talked to him earlier. 916 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: If you missed any of that conversation, it's up in 917 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: podcast form wherever you get your podcast. But here's a 918 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: little best of that conversation with Johnny asking JJO about 919 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 1: Derek Stingley. 920 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 3: You've got a chance to spend time with him, up 921 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 3: close with him, and he doesn't say a whole heck 922 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 3: of a lot, But what can you tell us about 923 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 3: the time you spend with staying and why it's really 924 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 3: no surprise that he's developed into player that he has. 925 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:48,359 Speaker 4: I think all the physical attributes always been there, Like 926 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,240 Speaker 4: you said, the accolades, going back to high school, five star, 927 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 4: I believe, number one player coming out, you know, at 928 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,839 Speaker 4: his position, all those type of things. So I think 929 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 4: he's always learned at the early age, especially from his post, 930 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 4: you know, me being around their family and understanding, you know, 931 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 4: me having a son, you know, having kids, what it 932 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 4: takes to you know, prepare a guy to get to 933 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 4: this level. And I think they've been doing this years ago, 934 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 4: you know, years ago. 935 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 2: And yeah, he comes off. 936 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 4: He reminds me a lot of a guy like I 937 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 4: talk about a lot Will Fuller, like Will Fuller never 938 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 4: talked much when he was there, but like just ultra 939 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,240 Speaker 4: competitor everything that he did, you know, he was always 940 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 4: trying to win and putting the maximum effort. And the 941 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 4: things come up with that guy. 942 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 2: When I was here, you. 943 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 4: Know, coming in, like I said, I picked part of 944 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 4: a first couple of bad little seasons overall team success, 945 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 4: you know, and normally the people who get the finger 946 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 4: point of that, or just get the most criticism or 947 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 4: just always get thrown into the spotlight is top draft 948 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 4: picks or the guys who are top free agent signings 949 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 4: are a big contract signing. So I think he's been able 950 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 4: to handle himself and continue to grow his game each 951 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 4: and every year and buying to what the coaching staff 952 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 4: is asking, you know, challenge guys, take the other top 953 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,359 Speaker 4: receivers away each and every year. Just continue to grow 954 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 4: your game, bill leader on in off the field, and 955 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 4: make plays. 956 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:04,479 Speaker 2: When it's called upon. 957 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 4: And I think he's did all those things, and he's 958 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,839 Speaker 4: earn that extension. Early in the year, his dad had 959 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 4: a post or something, and I commented up on it 960 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 4: and said, year three is normally the year where the 961 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 4: game slows down becomes I won't want to say easy, 962 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 4: but it's almost like you can see. 963 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 2: Things happen before. If you're not just playing out there 964 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,280 Speaker 2: and reacting. 965 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 4: You're kind of proactive if you have an idea exactly 966 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 4: what's going on, and you're able to just make more plays. 967 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 4: And it just looks, you know, when you watch it, it 968 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 4: just looks slangle beauty because it's like, man, that looks 969 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 4: easy to him. 970 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 2: But I think now the game has slowed down. 971 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 4: He's processing and he's seeing it from a different lens, 972 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 4: and that's why he's able to go out there and 973 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,760 Speaker 4: play the way you do. And I think the stealing 974 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 4: is still up there for him. He haven't hit his 975 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 4: ceiling yet. I think he's far from it. He's still 976 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 4: really young. I think we're just seeing some of the 977 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 4: things he's able to do with his ultra analyticism and 978 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 4: his ability to learn the game right now at a 979 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 4: young age. 980 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,760 Speaker 2: Jonathan Joseph with us JJO. 981 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 1: You played with Tamiko Ryans in the twenty eleven season 982 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 1: for the Texans when you were just acquired as a 983 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 1: free agent right before training camp. That was his last 984 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: year with the Texans as a player. What are you 985 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: seeing in him as a coach in the defense and 986 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: maybe the performance overall so far through two seasons at 987 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: the Helm. 988 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 4: I think a team that's buyding to his identity. I 989 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 4: think tough, tough minded, professional, physical approach, but also having fun. 990 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 2: I think if you watch the Miko play. 991 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 4: I got out there, every time he took the field, 992 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 4: you know, he was holding his health to that standard. 993 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 4: Even you go back to Alabama, I remember I played 994 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 4: against Ma Carolina, just a guy. When he took the field, 995 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 4: everybody wanted to buy off his energy and feed into 996 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 4: you know, the energy that he brought out there, which 997 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 4: was a no nonsense, We're here for one reason, one 998 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 4: reason only smack you in the mouth, get to win. 999 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 4: All team oriented, noted just about me, point the finger 1000 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 4: at me. 1001 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 2: Everyone buy into it. 1002 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 4: And I think that's what this team is starting to 1003 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 4: take on the last couple of years, is his identity. 1004 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 4: You see, he's excited when a guy makes a play. 1005 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 4: He's having fun with his players, but he's also holding 1006 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,479 Speaker 4: his players to the highest tand they didn't having those hard, 1007 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 4: tough conversations with him, you know. But at the same 1008 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 4: time they understand that they that he has their back. 1009 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 4: And I think that's what each and every player wants 1010 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 4: is a guy who has his back. No different than 1011 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 4: when you playing with a guy like that. You want 1012 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,359 Speaker 4: to know that the guy that playing next to you 1013 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 4: have your back so you can go all out and 1014 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 4: have his back. 1015 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,320 Speaker 3: Also, Jose, we were talking about Derek Stingley. Of course, 1016 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,439 Speaker 3: I just have highlights flashing in my mind and the game. 1017 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are going to remember 1018 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 3: when distingles finally, you know. 1019 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 2: Done with his career. 1020 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 3: They're going to take back to that game against the 1021 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,839 Speaker 3: Dolphins and the two interceptions you got when he's mad 1022 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 3: a man against Tyreek Hill, and those are tremendous and 1023 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 3: we've talked about for years, like Tyreek is just the 1024 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:40,280 Speaker 3: guy that killed everybody. 1025 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 2: He kills everybody. He's such a difficult guy to guard. 1026 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 3: And it got me thinking, who is the toughest guy 1027 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 3: that you had to guard in your career? Now if 1028 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,879 Speaker 3: you can, let's let's not make it a texting, because 1029 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 3: you did have to cover a couple of guys that 1030 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,120 Speaker 3: were pretty good in this building and Andre Johnson, DeAndre Hopkins, 1031 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,879 Speaker 3: you mentioned Will Fuller, but who it's the toughest guy 1032 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 3: that you had to guard in your career? 1033 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 2: That was a non Texan man, all those guys. 1034 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill is definitely one of those guys. I remember, 1035 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,239 Speaker 4: I think my last year the Texans, I was thirty 1036 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 4: six years old or maybe thirty five hours. I was 1037 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 4: actually I remember this like it was yesterday. 1038 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:18,319 Speaker 2: We laughed about it. 1039 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 4: I was like, man, are they trying to get me 1040 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,359 Speaker 4: out of here? For sure, we was playing Kansas City 1041 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,799 Speaker 4: first time. Alex was still the quarterback. He had me 1042 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 4: following Tyreek Hill, Me and Kevin. 1043 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 2: Johnson got to get a laugh. 1044 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:37,240 Speaker 4: I say, man, they're trying to sabotage me, right, But honestly, 1045 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 4: it's any of those top quarterbacks, I mean top wide 1046 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 4: receivers that have a quarterback. You know, we always talk 1047 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 4: about Andre Johnson and the things he was able to 1048 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,399 Speaker 4: achieve without having, you. 1049 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 2: Know, a top prolific quarterback, you. 1050 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 4: Know, with him throughout his whole career, and a lot 1051 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 4: of that goes because sometimes, you know, if he's not 1052 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 4: the first read, normally the ball is late, the ball 1053 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 4: isn't on time, or it's not a perfect ball. But 1054 00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 4: I think anytime you put a guy with Andre Johns 1055 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 4: and talent, like all those other receivers, Terrell Owen's Randy Mass, 1056 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 4: Steve Smith, Larry Fitzgeral and Cowombo and Reggie Aint, Marvin Harrison, 1057 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 4: go down the list. All those guys had, you know, 1058 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 4: at some point in their career a prolific quarterback or 1059 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 4: a guy who probably was the Hall of Fame quarterback 1060 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 4: other than Steve Smith with the Panthers, I believe, but 1061 00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 4: I think that just gives them an advantage because the 1062 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 4: ball's coming out on time, ball's going to be in 1063 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:24,959 Speaker 4: the right fight, the ball is going to be away 1064 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:25,319 Speaker 4: from you. 1065 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:26,399 Speaker 2: You're not going to be able to make a play 1066 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 2: on the ball. 1067 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: There's some of the conversation we had with Jajoe again 1068 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: that's up in podcast form wherever you get your podcasts, 1069 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,719 Speaker 1: and this show will be up in podcast forms soon enough. 1070 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,240 Speaker 1: We went over win total projections for all the league 1071 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 1: teams that were interested in and a bunch of international 1072 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 1: game stuff.
