1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Here's the snap, four man rush firing downfield and got

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: a man rock and roll touchdown. Texans game day is

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, nice ball, nice ball, five nights a week.

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: The hits keep on coming. Wows, we're gonna down the cornerback. No,

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: it's Texans, All Exus, Hello Texans, and welcome Mark Vandamer

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: and John Harris with you live from the Hunday Texans

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: Radio mobile studio. As we're out and about and it's

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: Thursday night. That means we have the General John mcclaim

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: with us from the Houston Chronicle. Astro's currently up six.

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: Nothing people do in the dishes around dinner. It's good

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: bottom of the seventh inning for the Astros in game

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: one of their series with the Chicago White Sox, and gentlemen,

13
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: welcome to the program. Great day along as the Astros

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: are trying to finish that one off, we turn our

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: attention back to football and the Texans facing the New

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: England Patriots one at noon. We have Thursday night action

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: with the Rams at the Seahawks, and all is well

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: in the land. Well, I hope so general good evening.

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: So I saw a story on the Houston well in

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: the Twitter feed. Of you, General John McClain that said,

21
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: how long do you stay with Davis Mills once Taylor

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: is healthy? So take us there first as we talk

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: about the quarterback situation for the Texans, hoping that Mills

24
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: plays a whole lot better on Sunday against New England.

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: Before I do that, guys, I'm watching the Astros and

26
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking how much fun is to watch a playoff

27
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: game cover playoff game, and how it's been less than

28
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: two years since the Texans were in the playoffs, and

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: wondering when's the next time they'll be in the playoffs

30
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: like they were four out of five years. As far

31
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: as the column I wrote for tomorrow, which is on

32
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: our website, Texas Sports Nation, if Davis Mills plays again

33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: like he did against Buffalo, it's going to be an

34
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: easy decision for Necessario and David Culley about bringing back

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor. But I believe this Tyrode's eligible to come

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: off hour next week, but I'm guessing it's going to

37
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: be another week after that, and if Mills shows progress,

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: and it's going to be hard for him not to.

39
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: If he shows progress against the Patriots and then he

40
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: shows a little more progress against the Colts and doesn't regress.

41
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: I believe he's going to keep playing because, as I

42
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: wrote a column before the season, before training camp, the

43
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: single most important objective this season is to find out

44
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: if Davis Mills can be the next quarterback. And if

45
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: he can, great, and if he can't, then that is

46
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: their number one priority after this offseason in the draft,

47
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: and people are worried that Cassario is going to reach

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: for a quarterback, and I can guarantee him it's going

49
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: to be like two thousand and six and two fourteen,

50
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: And if there's not a quarterback there, they'll take the

51
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: best player when they're picking at a need position. But

52
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: if there is a quarterback they can get, whether they

53
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: have to draft him with their pick or trade up

54
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: or whatever, they'll go after it. They're not going to

55
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: reach on a quarterback who's not ready. And you can't

56
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: judge any quarterback who is about to make his fourteenth

57
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: start since high school at this point in his career.

58
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: And I'll guarantee you, and I'm guessing you guys believe this.

59
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: Some of the problems that all Mills is because of

60
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: his lack of experience. You know, Mac Jones started seventeen

61
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: games at Alabama, and that's not much. Kevin mind started

62
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: forty six at a and m Trevor Lawrence thirty one

63
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: at Clemson. There's Davis Mills started Levin at Stanford, and

64
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: I think Edy gone back this season, he would have

65
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: been the adjustment would have been easier for him. And

66
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: the key now is how does he bounce back from Buffalo.

67
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: He's going up against the greatest, one of the greatest

68
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: defensive minds in history in Bill Belichick. Man, I'll look

69
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: for this to be a much more competitive game than

70
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: the odds makers seem to think it is. Spread went

71
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: up from seven and a half to nine and for

72
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: a team that rushed for minus one yard on Sunday night,

73
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: And so I think it'll be competitive. I think Mills

74
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: will play better. How much better, I don't know. And

75
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, if your team can't run the

76
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: ball consistently, can't run the ball, you're in trouble. You know,

77
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: Mac Jones at a running game is minus one yard

78
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: and he was like thirty one or forty two. But

79
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: you know they they only had him throw one pass

80
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: of at least twenty yards. And Lovey Smith knows that

81
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to see the two game plans

82
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: for these rookie quarterbacks. And if I believe, if Mills

83
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: keeps showing taking baby steps, He's going to keep his job.

84
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: When Taylor's healthy, Well, hopefully Davis Mills will get things done, John,

85
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: because the best orback to come into the NFL will

86
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: come into the NFL until twenty twenty three, and that's

87
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: Bryce Young at Alabama, ironically coached by one Bill O'Brien

88
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: right now at Alabama. But he's done a bang up

89
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: job and he has a whale of a quarterback. But

90
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: you gotta wait for twenty twenty three for that. This

91
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: year or a couple of days ago, we found out

92
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: that Anthony Miller was released waived. I'm not sure what

93
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: falls into, but either way, he would let go from

94
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: the Houston Texas John, when you saw that news, I

95
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: asked this to Mark all the time. What was your

96
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: gut reaction to that and how do you think it

97
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: impacts the receiving group going forward? My gut reaction, John,

98
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: is exactly what I wrote. Nicko Sario and David Culley

99
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: have made it clear numerous times they are trying to

100
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: build a culture, trying to install a foundation, a philosophy

101
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: of mindset, and they brought in veteran players. They want

102
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: to be leaders. They want those guys to be the

103
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: opposite of urban Meyer. They wanted to be responsible. They

104
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: want to be accountable. They want him to put the

105
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: team first, and when you don't, you're gone. And that's

106
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: I guess what happened. They have Danny Evandola supposedly healthy again.

107
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: He's ramping up, should be ready by Sunday. Doctor Van

108
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: der Meer says this, So let's hope it's true. General

109
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: offensive line. Look, I look at the names on paper

110
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: and I say, geez, that looks like a pretty good line.

111
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: Why aren't they playing better? Is it because of the

112
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback and the teams trying to overwhelm the line

113
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: of scrimmage? What can they do better? We talked to

114
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: you a little bit about this on Monday, But here

115
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: we are looking at the Patriots, a top five defense

116
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: and the crosshairs and they have to get a whole

117
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: lot better fast in that department. The only thing that

118
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: Patriots don't do well on defense is stop the run.

119
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: And when you consistently are as bad as the Texans

120
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: are running the ball these last three games. You can't

121
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: say it's just the backs. You can't say it's just

122
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: the line. I asked David Culley this week, might you

123
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: consider abandoning the running back by committee approach and go

124
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: the old fashioned way and give one of those backs,

125
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram or David Johnson the bulk of the carriers

126
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: like Ingram had in the first game. And he said no,

127
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: because they think all those guys play a certain role

128
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: in the offense. And then the other thing. At some point,

129
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: I want to and I've been saying this for weeks,

130
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: I want to see Scottie Phillips. Scottie Phillips is the

131
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: fifth back. Now Rex Burke had his hurt, has a

132
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: hip injury. I don't expect him back for a while.

133
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: And so if Scotty, who was out with an illness,

134
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: if he bounced his back, why not give the guy

135
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: a few carries. And We've talked about this before. And

136
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Scottie Phillips as Arian Foster, but I'm

137
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: saying Gary could be acting. His staff did not know

138
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: what they had with Arian Foster. Otherwise he wouldn't have

139
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: spent the whole season on the practice squad special teams

140
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: and only getting a chance to run the ball in

141
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: the last two games of the season, and even then

142
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: they drafted Ben Take in the second round. So don't

143
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: wait till the last two games of the season when

144
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: everybody's hurt. Give Scottie Phillips a chance before the lineman

145
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: start getting hurt, and see if he can breathe any

146
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: life at all into what's an asthmatic running game. They've

147
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: got to do something. They can't just keep banging their

148
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: heads on the wall. I'll tell you something else. Every

149
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: time I see them come out with their heavy personnel.

150
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: Ken Houston to be the greatest strong safety in NFL history.

151
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: Let's right here in Houston, he told me a long

152
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: time ago. Defensive players love it when offenses come out

153
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: and they're in short yardage and goal line and they

154
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: bunch up because as a defensive player, if you make

155
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,359
Speaker 1: a mistake, somebody can cover for you. In that alignment.

156
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: The last thing the defensive guys want is to be

157
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: spread out, and because if you make a mistake, boom,

158
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: it's a touchdown or a first down. So maybe they

159
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: can run more four wides than run out of the

160
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: four wide formation. Although I don't know if they have

161
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: four wide receivers, but they can't just keep banging their

162
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: ends against the wall and blaming it all on holding

163
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: penalties and pre snap penalties. But in something Mills is

164
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: playing with one arm tied behind his back without a

165
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: running game. John along those lines kind of related to

166
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: the running game the tight ends. The first game against Jacksonville,

167
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: Fara Brown has a really nice ball game, He's involved.

168
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: He's banged up going into the Cleveland game. But from

169
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: the Cleveland game on, it feels like the tight ends

170
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: have been out there. Like you said, they've been out

171
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: there to block, They've been out condensed formations. In your opinion,

172
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: what do you think the tight ends can bring to

173
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: this offense if allowed more opportunities, And do you think

174
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: that their lack of usage just is really just a

175
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: result of having Davis Mills in there versus Tyrod Taylor

176
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: in there. Specifically asked Culley about Phararell Brown having one

177
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: catch for six yards since the first game when he

178
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: played with Taylor is at the quarterback, is at the shoulder.

179
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: He can't do the same things catching the ball he's

180
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: out there, and he said no, he hadn't played as well,

181
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: and he said a lot, and he said that goes

182
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: for other guys too, and so um. Sometimes when if

183
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: you think about it and you look at Mills and

184
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do to protect him, you know

185
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: he's he made bad decisions in Buffalo. He threw bad passes.

186
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: And I know you guys saw it and you're thinking,

187
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, throw it away, throw it at his feet,

188
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, don't take that sack. Get rid of the ball.

189
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: And I would remember it played last year where Farrell

190
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: lined up in the backfield and ran for ten or

191
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: fifteen yards Jordan Nakins ran for a first down. I

192
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: would I would try to get the ball to Pharaoh Brown.

193
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's an if it's a hook route,

194
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: rub route, of any kind of route. It's short route.

195
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: Because he's six sixs and two sixty. He can run

196
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: over some people. Put him in the backfield, let him

197
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: go in motion. But I would try to get him

198
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: the ball because they're wasting him unless he's injured and

199
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: he can't raise his arms. But he's too good of

200
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: a weapon, and he was off to too good of

201
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: a start to just disappear. John. The Patriots aren't running

202
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: the ball the way they want to. James White not

203
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: a round right now because of an injury, Sony Michelle

204
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: worked somewhere else, and they went to the short pass

205
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: the game short to intermediate. It almost worked all the

206
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: way against Tampa Bay as mac Jones completed a lot

207
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: of passes. But what do you make of their attack

208
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: and how the Texans are going to try to defend

209
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: against it? How many rookies can say and mac Jones

210
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: would never say this, but how many rookies can can

211
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,599
Speaker 1: we say? I'll played Tom Brady. That's probably list. It

212
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: might be a list of one. But he did outplay

213
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Just look at the stats, and they did

214
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: throw a lot of short passes, and that's what you

215
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: gotta do with a rookie quarterback. And the Texans has

216
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: been unable to do it for one game. At least

217
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: they moved the ball. They didn't score a lot of points.

218
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: They haven't scored a lot. He's got one victory over

219
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: the Jets. Texans have one victory over the Jaguars. And

220
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: I thought the second if you look at a forty points,

221
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: Texans gave up forty points. Man, their defense was terrible. No,

222
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: it was not terrible. That is one of the most

223
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: misleading stats I've ever seen, because sixteen oh at the half,

224
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: nineteen oh after three quarters. Considering the predicament they were

225
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: placed in by the offense, I thought the defense went

226
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: above and beyond in that game, especially in the second quarter.

227
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: I believe again, Zach Cunningham back, this is a healthy defense,

228
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: has been since the first game. I believe that they're

229
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 1: going to do a good job against mac Jones and

230
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: I think, dear Harriet danian Yarris, they're gonna do a

231
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: good job against him. Not minus one yard, but I

232
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: think they'll do well. And you know, Belichick will do

233
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: everything you can here to try to run the ball

234
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: more and better. And when they come out, and Lovey

235
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: Smith knows that too, and so the chess match between

236
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, that's gonna be

237
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: fun to watch. John today, listening to Lovey Smith, he

238
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: was asking you may have been the one to asked

239
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: him about Desmond King. Desmond went into the starting lineup

240
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: at the perimeter corner position opposite Terrence Mitchell. I thought

241
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: des played pretty well. And listen to love you today

242
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: when asked about Desmond essentially sounding like he was saying, look,

243
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: he's just a football player. The guy just makes a

244
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: bunch of plays. What do you think about Desmond King

245
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: going to corner and then Lonnie Johnson staying in the

246
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: starting line of makes to Justin Reid. I think that

247
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: that's what we'll see against the Patriots too. When I

248
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: was doing his on Lonnie in preseason and it was

249
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: one of those days where we could talk to the coaches,

250
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: Greg Jackson was talking about it. They were trying to

251
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: teach Lonnie both positions, and at the time, Lonnie just

252
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: played deep. Justin Reid can play upper back, Eric Murray

253
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: can play upper back. Lonnie Kent but he's got speed,

254
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: he's got range, he's got size. What he has to

255
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: do is not make mental mistakes. But he could be

256
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: a playmaker back there, just like Justin Reid as a playmaker.

257
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: People forget one year with Desmond King. I can't remember

258
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: if his eighteen or what he was first team All Pro.

259
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: He played great for the Chargers and so he's done it.

260
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: So he's going to be in there. Hargraves will come

261
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: off and play some corner. Tayper Thomas was playing in

262
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: the slot. So I think their secondary is pretty darn good.

263
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: Last year, their secondaries the opposing passing rating was one

264
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: of the highest in the NFL, and I think now

265
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: it's in the eighties. So they've made tremendous improvement. And

266
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: when you're rushing four guys, quarterback gets a little longer

267
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: most of the time, but you drop in seven, so

268
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: it's harder for him to find receivers. So the guy

269
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking for to have a breakout game Charles Amna,

270
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: who has three heads but he has no sacks. I

271
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: thought he'd lead the team. Winney's got three sacks. He

272
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: leads the team. Winney's on the pace for career high

273
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: thirteen if he could keep it up. And so I

274
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what they forced Mac Jones to

275
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: do and how the DB's reat. They get Pierre Lewis back,

276
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: they got Zach Cunningham back, kem and Gruger Hill and

277
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: Christian Kirksey and Joe Thomas. They got some depth in

278
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: linebacker John McLean joining us on Texans radio. Astro scores

279
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: still six nothing type of the eighth, but it made

280
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: park will keep you posted, general, I did hear you

281
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: with Seawan and seth all the way yesterday and it's

282
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: what you about, Hurban Meyers. So what are you thinking

283
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: here about the head coach of the Jaguars and where

284
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: this is going eventually, short term, long term, whatever you think.

285
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: The old Urban cowboy, the thing that he didn't go

286
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: back with the team was inexcusable. And then for the

287
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: videos that are out there about him and the way

288
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: light about it. You guys know coaches they have to

289
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: stand up in front of a room and demand players

290
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: be accountable, responsible, that they're self discipline. How can he

291
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: do that? How can they believe anything that he tells them?

292
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: At this point? Wouldn't you love to be with them

293
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: in England in two weeks in London where they still

294
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: have about fifteen newspapers and they're the most vicious in

295
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: the in the world. And listen to those reporters writing

296
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: him all the almost all those papers except the Sunday

297
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: Times have a headline writers like the New York Post

298
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: in the New York Daily News. And what they're gonna do.

299
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: They are gonna eviserate Urban Meyer when he gets to

300
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: London with the questions and stories the headlines. And they

301
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if shotgun. I'm stunned if he lasts

302
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: the season, because what he did is just shameful. And

303
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: it's one thing, if it had been bad enough is

304
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: during the week, But to abandon your team like that,

305
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: it's incomprehensible, especially for a first year head coach trying

306
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: to establish a culture and a philosophy in a mindset,

307
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: and it just it's one of the strangest episodes I've

308
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: seen in my forty something years and covered in the NFL.

309
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: I just have no sympathy to the Jacksonville Jaguars at

310
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: all because they got in bed with a known hussy.

311
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: They knew it. They knew exactly what they were getting,

312
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 1: or they should have. They should have known exactly what

313
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: they were getting. They knew the fire they're playing with.

314
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: And as soon as he tried to sneak that former

315
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: IOWA strength conditioning coach on their roster, nothing to see here,

316
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: and that should have been the first sign of who

317
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: wait a second, Yeah, this is probably not gonna work.

318
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: And then he's had multiple strikes the offseason all that

319
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I have absolutely no sympathy for every

320
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: mind Let me tell you something, John and Mark, I'm

321
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: waiting for Roger Goodell to suspend him. Goodell has said

322
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: that he holds executives front office executives. That means owners,

323
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: general management, coaches to a higher standard that he holds

324
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: the players. I would imagine the players union right now

325
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: is telling Goodell, Okay, you used to spend our players

326
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: all the time. This guy violated the personal conduct policy.

327
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: He embarrassed the shield. It's right there on two videos

328
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: if you want to see it. How can he possibly

329
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: avoid a suspension? What does the NFL say to people? Say,

330
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: owners call and say, hey, you suspending my guy? You know,

331
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: why aren't you doing something about this? And do you

332
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: I read this today on Pro Football Talk that if

333
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 1: he gets fired, he'll take his place. It won't be

334
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator Joe Cullen because that was the guy,

335
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: remember went through the was what was it Wendy's line?

336
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: That kid, because he was drunk, didn't remember. And I

337
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be the head coach because people be

338
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: talking about that quite a bit. It's an absolute mess.

339
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: But John, I'll ask you this, after losing to the Jets,

340
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: if the Titans lose to this mess that is the Jaguars,

341
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: how much heat is Mike Rabel going through fuel. Well,

342
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: I know that Amy Adams Strunk loves Rabel and John Robinson,

343
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: and I don't see that happening, although teams have rallied

344
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 1: before around controversy. But I tell you this, I'd give

345
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: the ball to Derrick Henry forty times and throw it

346
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: to him ten times. Now A J. Brown, I'm supposed

347
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: to be back. Not sure about Julio Jones. And I

348
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: told people this week, as bad as the Texans were Buffalo,

349
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: they're one game out of first place and its embarrassing

350
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: hes Urban Myers been. Jaguars are two games out of

351
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: first place. If the Texans win this game, they might

352
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: even the Texans might even be tied for first place.

353
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: And the Jaguars Ston's injury reported, and the Jaguars are

354
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: sitting there with the number one pick two so there

355
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: are two games out of first but yet they're in

356
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: the running already for the number one pick. But we

357
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: got a long way to goa in the NFL. Grad Yeah,

358
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: after four games, it is great. I mean, it's never

359
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: a dull moment in this league, no doubt about that.

360
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: And who do the Colts have this week? They have

361
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: the Ravens John on Monday Night Football on the Road.

362
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: So how is this gonna go down? With Indie having

363
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: their issues. I know they just beat the Dolphins and

364
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: maybe they played a little bit better, but Miami doesn't

365
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: exactly look like it's got its act together right now. No,

366
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: Miami might be getting so desperate that they will give

367
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: Nick Cassario what he wants three ones and two twos

368
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: by the November second deadline, but for Deshaun Watson, because

369
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: they thought they were going to compete for the playoffs.

370
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: They knew they weren't going to win the division because

371
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: of Buffalo, but they've lost three in a row now,

372
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots by one, and Jacobe Burzette, he's not

373
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: the answer. Not sure when tongue of Aloe is coming back.

374
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: But you know it's no secret according to everybody, Miami's

375
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: number one team trying to get the Watson and he's

376
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: got that no trade clause that he could veto a trade.

377
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: But that's why I love covering the NFL. It's something

378
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: every week and can't wait to see what's next. Every

379
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: week is like a Forrest Gump in his box chocolates.

380
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: You never know what you're going to get. John you've

381
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: now seen, well, you've seen one of the better teams

382
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: in the league, straight up Buffalo bill And look, I

383
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: know it's the Texans. I was a raining down or

384
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: a lot of things that went into it. They faced

385
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: a team in the rookie quarterback and I know you've

386
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: seen every other team on it at least TV. Who

387
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: do you think what team is the best team in

388
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: the league right now? Arizona Cardinals thirty points, fournerd yards

389
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: every game they've proved it. They started well last year,

390
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: faded down the stretch. Green Bay's won three in a row.

391
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: The team that then nine winning team that's the most

392
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: dangerous is the last place team in AFC West. You

393
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: know what are the odds the Chiefs are going to

394
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: be in last place in another month. This Kansas City

395
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo game, you know they played in the playoffs last

396
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: year in the Chiefs won. This could be a preview

397
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: of the AFC championship game. I can't wait. As far

398
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: as Baltimore. Baltimore just went to Denver and handed the

399
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: Broncos their first loss. Now they're back home. You talk

400
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: about a great coaching job. John Harball lost three running

401
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: backs is top three running backs how many teams could

402
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: lose their top three running backs and still win like

403
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 1: the Ravens do. That shows you what happens when you

404
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: have the kind of culture and the foundation and the

405
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: mindset and the philosophy and everybody pulling in the same direction.

406
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: What happens. They overcome adversity, just like they did when

407
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: they lost Ronnie Stanley last year. My admiration for John

408
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: Harnball just keeps going up every year. So I think

409
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna win that game on Monday Night. The unpredictability

410
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson certainly helps as well. The guy is

411
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: very hard to defend against. You don't know what is

412
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: going to happen. I mean, he's the box of chocolates too.

413
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: You don't know what you're gonna get. You know you're

414
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: gonna get an attack. You know it's gonna be vicious

415
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: on the ground. He can throw the ball also. He

416
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: is a menace to defense, is general Ben Roethlisberger, the

417
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: last of the class of two thousand and four quarterbacks.

418
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: Of course, Brady's the oldest quarterback in the league. He's

419
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: in a class by himself. But Roethlisberger second oldest, and

420
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: what's gonna happened with him. We are watching this in

421
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: real time now and it looks like he might need

422
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: to be replaced if this doesn't get better in a hurry.

423
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: By whom Mason Rudolph, you know what they should be doing.

424
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin should be calling. Nick Serio said, Hey, Nick,

425
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: I know we haven't spoken in a while, So what

426
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: do you ask? What are you asking for Deshaun Watson?

427
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: Because they could use it. And I'll say this, they're

428
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: running games the worst in the NFL. It was last

429
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: year and it is this year. And that's just that

430
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: is inexcusable for the Steelers who prided himself for decades.

431
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm having a good, powerful, grind it down, running game

432
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: and now they've been terrible. They've their lines awful. And

433
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: when they let Mike Munchek get away and go to Denver,

434
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: they went a running game, went straight down the toilet.

435
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: All right, General, that's gonna do it for this week,

436
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: and we really appreciate the time, of course. Look forward

437
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: to senior at the game on Sunday. Mark and John,

438
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: thank you guys very much. I look forward to seeing

439
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: you too. Thank you. Oh wait, before you completely sign off,

440
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: just give us a little Chronicle preview here you did.

441
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: You did mention some of the stuff, and so did I.

442
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: I think he already signed off John. I think he

443
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: did Texas Sports Nation. I did article I'm Davis Mills

444
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: and what it's gonna take for him to make the

445
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: hard decision on the staff whether he's gonna stay when

446
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor's ready to come back. I know that's the

447
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: article he wrote. Is that was that? That was the

448
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: article he wrote to he was asking questions today about

449
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: it to Tim Kelly. He essentially said to Timmy said,

450
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: you want it to be a hard decision, right, And

451
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: Timmy looked at him like, yeah, of course I wanted

452
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: to be art decision. And that's what're hoping hoping that

453
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: Sunday night, after it's all said down, we look and go,

454
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: Man Davis is gonna make this a tough decision with

455
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: Tyrod Radio. That's that's my hope, is that that's our

456
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: thoughts Sunday night. Man Davis is making this tough on

457
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: them with the way that he today. That's what I

458
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: want to see Sunday. That's nice. And by the way,

459
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,359

539
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: Let's go. All right, let's go who's better. In the

540
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: long term, this is the projection. This is what it's

541
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: going to be, not necessarily what it is now. Who's better?

542
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: They squared off one week ago, Joe Burrow or Trevor Lawrence.

543
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: Who's better? Oh boy, ah man, bro. This is because

544
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: because you told me, hang on, let me just let

545
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: me just pause. I'm gonna press pause. And by the way,

546
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy mud with the music. This music is a little light, Jimmy.

547
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: It's like I'd like some music with hair on it.

548
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: But that's okay anyway. Uh, you told me that Trevor

549
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: Lawrence was a generational talent or something like that. And

550
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, I don't think you've ever said that about him.

551
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: I know, clearly Joe Burrows better right now. But and

552
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: who said he's he reminds about Joe Montana a little bit.

553
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. But anyway, Joe Burrow or Trevor Lawrence

554
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: go well, I didn't tell you that Joe Burrow. I

555
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: didn't tell you that Joe Burrow was a slappy. I

556
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: felt like Joe Burrow still. Look, he did it for

557
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: one year at LSU, so I think there was still

558
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of a kind of jury is out

559
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 1: sort of vibe. But Joe Burrows plopped into a situation

560
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: where he's got Jamaar Chase, Tyler Boyd T Higgins and

561
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,959
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, not to mention c j Uzo Uzoma one

562
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: of the better and more underrated tight ends in the league.

563
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: He's got weapons, What's Tyler, What's Trevor Lawrence got? Trevor

564
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: Lawrence has got that piece of garbage Urban Myers, his coach.

565
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: That's what he's got. Honestly, that's what I mean, that's

566
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: what he's that's what he's given. So from that perspective,

567
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: I think Trevor, if you put if you flip pump situations,

568
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals would be three and one or

569
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: four and oh right now, and Trevor would be the

570
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: Cats me out in Cincinnati, just as Joe Burrow is.

571
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: But I think that Burrow is on the trajectory expected.

572
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: I think Trevor will get on that trajectory eventually once

573
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: he gets a little bit of help in all facets

574
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: around him. Yeah, I'm not ready to write him off

575
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: after four games. As a matter of fact, that they

576
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: lost in all the Hayes and the news of what

577
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: happened last Thursday night and the aftermath of such, was

578
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: the fact that Lawrence played really well in that game

579
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: and they could have won that game. He didn't make

580
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: that throw that he needed to make on third and

581
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: four to keep the drive going toward the end of

582
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: the contest. But I thought he looked a whole lot

583
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: better than he looked in previous weeks. And that's what

584
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: you want to see if you're a Jaguar. That's what

585
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to see as in Texans. So we'll

586
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: see how it goes with Lawrence and Burrow. Okay, next,

587
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: who's better Derrick Henry. We're gonna measure him up against

588
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: the former all time great, not former all time great,

589
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: former player all time great, Derrick Henry or Adrian Peterson.

590
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: Who's better? You got him in him prime Peterson, so

591
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: he got all day in his prime versus Derrick Henry,

592
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: who's better man? That's so hard. I look at it,

593
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: like which guy would I not want to tackle? And

594
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: it's like, yes, it's either one. In fact, right before

595
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: we came out of the break, I happen to just

596
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: see a video of Derrick Henry on fourth and one

597
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: in overtime, down by three. That's a throwing situation for

598
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: a lot of teams in the NFL. And the Titans

599
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: just took it and toss it to him like here,

600
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: go get it, yea. And the Jets got to like

601
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: dang it. You could tell they didn't want to tangle

602
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: with him. I think in his prime, I think Adrian

603
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: Peterson I would put a shade ahead of Dereck Henry

604
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: because Adrian was bowing a china shop. And I think

605
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: Henry needs runway. He needs a little bit of runway.

606
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: Now he can, he can find it, and he's gotten

607
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: better about finding it. If he gets that runway, he's

608
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: gonna embarrass you. But Adrian Peterson and his prime, if

609
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: you're I mean, if people didn't see Adrian Peterson's prime

610
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: and he was faster than Derrick Henry. Now it was

611
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: as big, but he was plenty big, So I would

612
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: say Adrian Peterson in his prime was probably scarier that

613
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: said two eight back there or double deuce back there.

614
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: I'm like, just please somebody slow them down before they

615
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 1: get to me. I'll playing safety. Please slow them down,

616
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: because now I got to make a business decision about

617
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: how I want to make this tackle look, because it's

618
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: gonna be ugly when he gets to the secondary, either

619
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: one of them. But I would put Adrian Peterson because

620
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,959
Speaker 1: I think he's a little bit faster, and I think

621
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: Adrian ran actually a little bit more violently from the

622
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: beginning of the run all the way through the end

623
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: of the run. Derek I think needs some of that

624
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: runway to kind of build himself up just a little

625
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: bit before he gets the full violence mode. I'll tell

626
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: you what. Five. That's his spot. Fifth on the all

627
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: time rushing list, Adrian Peterson, and the leading back, the

628
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: leading active back on the all time rushing list is

629
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: mark Ingram, who's on this roster with seven thousand, four

630
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety five yards. He's fifty seventh. He's the

631
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: leading active rusher because ahead of him guys who well

632
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 1: you know, Marshawn Lynch and Lashawn McCoy, Adrian Peterson, Frank Gore,

633
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: all recent players, but guys who are currently unemployed in

634
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. You bring You brought up a name that

635
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: really kind of intrigued me. And I think you brought

636
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: up a really excellent name with Adrian Peterson. But what

637
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: about Derreck Henry or Marshawn Lynch, who you're taking a look?

638
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: The dude's name is beast Mode. Yeah, I know. I

639
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: look when you compare people to all time greats, and

640
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: Lynch checked out at number twenty nine on the all

641
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: time list with ten thousand, four hundred yards thirteen, so

642
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: there's some change there. But he's so devastating, He's so destructive.

643
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, this is a tough one man. He won

644
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: that playoff game against the Saints. I think that's his

645
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: Tour the Force performance. They were seven and nine and

646
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: they hosted because they won the division and they beat

647
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: the Saints, a team of the winning record, I mean,

648
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: and it was all because of him. So it was phenomenal.

649
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: You know. I know, I'm kind of copying out of

650
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: a decision here. Probably still Lynch because of the body

651
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: of work, right, Yeah, I just have to look at

652
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: it that way from this angle. But Henry's so destructive,

653
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: and I think he's getting better. Johnny, that's what's frightening. Now,

654
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: that's really scary catching the football in addition to everything

655
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 1: else you can do. You talked about picking up fourth

656
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: and short, third and short or third and medium and

657
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: toss it too. Dearrick Henry and what he's made, the

658
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: difference he's made in the career of Ryan Tannehill and

659
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: maybe other people on that roster as well, phenomenal. All right,

660
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: let's do this. Who's better? It's a what's better? What's better?

661
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: The Major League Baseball wild Card game or the NBA

662
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: play in I'll call in a tournament, but the play

663
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: in scenario, what's better? Major League Baseball one game wild

664
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: card we saw dramatic finished last night with the Dodgers

665
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: beating the Cardinals and the Red Sox taking out the Yankees.

666
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 1: Was very pleasant to watch. Or the NBA play in scenario,

667
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: which is a little bit longer. It's gonna take me

668
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: longer to explain how that works, but I think you know,

669
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: and for that reason, it's the wild card. It's the

670
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: one wild card. I stayed up. I was I was

671
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, working last night, and I think the baseball

672
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: game was just a good thing to have in a

673
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: background because you can look up, see a pitch, kind

674
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 1: of do some work, you can listen, you know, it's

675
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of the perfect thing to have on in

676
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: the background. Well, about the sixth or seventh inning, I

677
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: was finished, I put my computer down, and I just

678
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: was kind of locked in. And it's so incredibly stressful

679
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: every pitch. I mean, if it's a close game the

680
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: Baseball Playoffs, any Baseball Playoff game that is close in

681
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: the last three innings of a of a massive game,

682
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: of a series changing game, is so incredibly stressful. And

683
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: that's I mean, I know, dog in to fight. Other

684
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: than the fact that I guess the Dodgers are not

685
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: my daughter's favorite team because he's out there, I don't know,

686
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: but either way, I am just I was rooting for

687
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals to knock them out out of his so

688
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: awesome the Yankees and Dodgers are out because that wild

689
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: card game. I love it. I heard I can't remember

690
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: who I heard. It was, maybe Sean and Seth, I

691
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: don't know. They were talking about it. They'd rather that

692
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: wild card be a best of three and I kind

693
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: of I kind of get it. You play one hundred

694
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: and sixty two games and it comes down to one game. Well, yeah,

695
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: it comes down to one game, and it makes it

696
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 1: so incredibly memorable. And when Taylor hit that ball, I mean,

697
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: I can't stand at Dodgers, but to see Dodgers Stadium

698
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: just erupted the way it did was so incredibly cool.

699
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: It was so cool to see it. I just I

700
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: love the environment and the way it ended. It was

701
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: just it was awesome, but it was so stressful. And

702
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: for that reason, I love the intensity of the wildcard Baseball,

703
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: So I'm going there for sure. Well, yeah, the thing

704
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: about the baseball Wildcard game is you could win the

705
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: World Series coming out of that Wildcard game, right, I mean,

706
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are perfectly capable. Good example right there, the

707
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: NBA seven through seven, eight, nine, ten, that you're not

708
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: winning the NBA Championship, correct, you know, none of those

709
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,479
Speaker 1: teams are winning the NBA Championship, but the wildcard team

710
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: has a shot. I know, you've pitched Sherezer last night.

711
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: It screws up the postseason rotation, whatever, but you could

712
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: still if you have a strong pitching staff. You can

713
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: get back into it. And the one game complaint. Please,

714
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: if you can't get it done, work fills the time allotted.

715
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: If you can't get it done in one sixty two,

716
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: now you're going into sudden death, which is that one

717
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: game playoff. You know what, avoid that and win a

718
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: little few more during the season. And maybe you're not

719
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: in that game. You know that's your one shot to

720
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: be in. And now, look, I'm old enough to remember

721
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: no ds, right, no nlds and alds. And I'm sure

722
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: there are people listening, well maybe who don't remember, who

723
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: are old enough to remember no alcs, r nlcs right,

724
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: that Giants went in the Pennant. Soh look, it is

725
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: really dramatic and it was fun to watch last night. Now,

726
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: if it's your team, the Astros were in this thing

727
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, right was it twenty fifteen? Yeah, they

728
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: beat the Sucressfuls all get out, but it was but

729
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: it was awesome before the game. Yeah, before the game,

730
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: I saw the Astros bouncing around on the dugout and

731
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: they were so juiced to be at Yankee Stadium playing

732
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: that game, and the Yankees were all smooth and the

733
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: Yankees and it reminded me of the fake Yankees and

734
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: Brewsters Millions with Richard Pryor. They were. They were that

735
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: cocky and confident. You guys, this is one game. You

736
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: can lose this game, and they did all right. Next

737
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: up on Texans Radio as the Astros by the way

738
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: in the top of the ninth up six one, trying

739
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: to close it out against the White Sox. Next up,

740
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: a key. You're gonna tease me with one of the

741
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: keys from the game from the upcoming game between the

742
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: Texans and the Patriots Sunday at noon. And a couple

743
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: of around the league notes, particularly in the division. Let's

744
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: get to it. Next on Texans Radio. If you love

Speaker 1: that one? More than once? I bet, because it just

749
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: adds up. For example, there are two, not one, great

750
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: reasons to fill up with Chevron with Techron Number one

751
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: unbeatable cleaning power and number two, or maybe this should

752
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: be number one unbeatable mileage. Plus Chevron puts Techron in

753
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: every grade, every gallon of their gasoline So that's two

754
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: no way, three unbeatable reasons to go with the one

836
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: terrific start in the postseason, Johnny Friday Night. People wait

00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 1: for it. They do the keys to the game, your

838
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: special keys to a victory for the Texans as they'll

839
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: face the Patriots Sunday afternoon noon kickoff. So give me one,

840
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: give me a tease, here, give me one of the keys.

841
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: As we headed to the weekend. Well, the Patriots ran

842
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: the ball horribly last week and even worse than the

843
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: Texans against the law firm of Veya and Sue. Sue

844
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: and Veya law firm. You can't you can't move them

845
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: at all, and they struggled it. Throw on top of

846
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: that the fact that Michael left guard Isaiah Win left tackle.

847
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: Both were put on COVID nineteen reserve list. Now, if

848
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: if vaccinated, then I believe they've got to have two

849
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: positive tests. I believe so too negative. I keeps saying positive,

850
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: too negative tests to be able to get off the

851
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: list and get back to work. Now, I don't know

852
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: if that can happen by Sunday. Add on to that

853
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: the fact that Shack Mason hasn't practiced this week, the

854
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: starting right guard. He hasn't practiced. Then Trent Brown is

855
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: still dealing with a calf issue, so this offensive line

856
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: could be starting, yes or Durant over at right tackle. Again.

857
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: I think he's a he's I think he's considered a

858
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: first year guy because I think he's on practice squad.

859
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, was rookie David Andrews should be back

860
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: at center and then guard guard another tackle position are

861
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: completely up in the air because of the issues that

862
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: they have with COVID and with injuries. So if you

863
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: can make a rookie quarterback, a rookie quarterback's offense one

864
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: dimensional because they can't run the ball because they are

865
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: banged up up front, then how can you then try

866
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: and confuse him a little bit with some different schemes

867
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: and stuff, because you know they're not going to run

868
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: the football and run it effectively on you. No, I

869
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: would imagine they're gonna try and run the football and

870
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: really take some heat off of Mac and take it

871
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: off of that offensive line by just running the ball

872
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. So you've got to take it away

873
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: from them. But I think with that offensive line being

874
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 1: as banged up as it is, as the Texans getting

875
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: some guys back on the defense, this could play through

876
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: their favor by taking away that run game entirely and

877
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: making it tough on Mac to throw with some different

878
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: schemes behind it. All Right, Well, Johnny's no your foe.

879
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: Know your foe. Article is on Houston Texans dot com

881
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 1: know the old lines all banged up and damaged for

882
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: the Patriots, I will hear none of that. I've heard

883
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: all this stuff before Week three. Jacobe precent twenty sixteen.

884
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: Now I got a rookie quarterback, We're coming off a

885
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: big win over Kansas City. This should be no problem.

886
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: You didn't say that it was twenty seven or nothing

887
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 1: new England. Anyway, you can never underestimate the Patriots. Not

888
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 1: that you are, but I'm just saying this for the

889
