Came in from 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: the Northwest, coming on into Houston. Who Now, I like 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: this weather. I don't have any problem with it, but 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: hopefully you guys are staying nice, into hoasting and warm 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: wherever you are listening, because this thing, well we were 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: warned about it, but it seemingly came on fast. I 10 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: was reading earlier that at College station this afternoon, probably 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: one o'clock and went from like seventy two to fifty 12 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: eight No a matter of like fifteen minutes. That's Texas 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: weather Man, that is Texas Weather. Appreciate you guys being 14 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: here for an under another Monday edition of the show. 15 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: No game yesterday, which is always kind of weird, strange. 16 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: I have this moment every time we have a bye 17 00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: week where I'm just like, every single time and it 18 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't happen, but it but it does, And for whatever reason, 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: it always kind of freaked me out. But it happened yesterday. 20 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: But I had a chance to step back and watch 21 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: a few of the games that took place in the league, 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: and it was a an overall good day, I would say. 23 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: For the Houston Texans, here's the gist of basically what 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: happened yesterday. The Texans will play the Colts on Thursday. 25 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: I know they play the Ravens on Sunday, but just 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: bear with me for a second. Regardless of the results 27 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: of the game on Sunday in Baltimore, the Texans will 28 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: play the Colts no worse for a bottle for first place. 29 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: The Colts got the Jacks coming in Indieapolis next week, 30 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: but the Colts lost to the Miami Dolphins yesterday put 31 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: the Colts at five and four. So after nine games, 32 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: Texans six and three, Colts five and four. After ten games, 33 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee now to buy five and five, the Jags coming 34 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: off to buy four and five. So the best anybody 35 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: can be at the end of this week was the 36 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: Texas seven and three. But beyond that, because the Jags 37 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: play the Colts, the Colts could be six and four 38 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: with a win, the Jags could be five and five 39 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: with a win. A win for the Jags five and 40 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: five would tie all three teams at five and five, 41 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: which I kind of would like to see. I kind 42 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: of like to see all at five and five and 43 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: the Texans win, you go to seven and three. Would 44 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: that would be nice to have a two game lead 45 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: head into that game against the Indianapolis Colts. Either way, 46 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: the worst that could happen, the worst that could happen, 47 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: Colts win, Texas lose. They're both six and four playing 48 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: Thursday night for first place NAFC South. That it's gonna 49 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: be a massive game regardless. But we've got a massive 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: game before we even get there, and that is against 51 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Baltimore, one pm Eastern. 52 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: If you're gonna be there, twelve o'clock Central, it's the 53 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: best game of the weekend. Let me just give you 54 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: a snapshot of the games that are taking place this weekend. 55 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: You've got the Falcons and Panthers combined records seven and eleven. 56 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: You've got the Cowboys and Lions combined record eight nine 57 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: and one. You've got the Broncos Vikings combined record ten 58 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: and nine. You've got the Saints Buccaneers combined record ten 59 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: and eight. Man Bucks might play that one hard. It's 60 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. You never know. Bill's Dolphins Dolphins on 61 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: a winning streak, combined records eight and ten, Jack's Colts 62 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: combined record nine and nine. Chief Chargers Monday Night combined 63 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: record ten and ten. Texans Ravens combined record thirteen and five. 64 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: The only other one that's close is Patriots Eagles. That's 65 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: thirteen and five as well, the Patriots eight and one, 66 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: Eagles five and four. At least the Texans Ravens, they're 67 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: a little bit closer with seven and two and six 68 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: and three. But I would say outside of that Patriots 69 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: Eagles game Texans Ravens, the noon window is the game, 70 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: The afternoon window is the Patriots Eagles, and then Sunday 71 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 1: night is the Bears Ramps. And a lot of people 72 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: ask me, well, should they gave me flexed? Well, a 73 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: couple of things to consider. Number one, and Mark and 74 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: I talked about this a little bit this morning. The 75 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: Texans would then have three straight weeks of primetime games. 76 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: Now do the people across the country we want to 77 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: watch the Texas three times? They should? I mean to 78 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: see DeShawn Watson in particular, they should, But I don't 79 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: know if that's the way people see, here's the other reason. 80 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: The Texans play a Thursday night game home a Sunday 81 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: night game in Baltimore. I can promise you because we've 82 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: done that before. We played Monday night. We got home 83 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: at about three o'clock in the morning, so three o'clock 84 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: in the morning, and then you got to turn around 85 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: and play at seven thirty on Thursday. And I mean 86 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,559 Speaker 1: that's almost not even fair. So that doesn't make sense either. 87 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: So the game was gonna get flexed. This was the 88 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: game that would have been flex but with the Texans 89 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: playing two prime timers, and not only playing two Prime timers, 90 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: playing Thursday night in particular in Week twelve, I don't 91 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: think it would have been fair for the Texans to 92 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: play a Sunday night game and then turn around and 93 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: have to play that Thursday. And I mean, that's that's ridiculous. 94 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard enough to play a Sunday Thursday 95 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: as it is, I have to play Sunday night Thursday night. No, no, no, 96 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: let's forget that, even if the Texans weren't traveling, even 97 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: though the Texans were home for this game, and then 98 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: play a Thursday night game at home, and that would 99 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: be rather difficult, So that's not gonna be the case. 100 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: The game will stay at noon. Now Week ten Texans 101 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: didn't play. But what happened throughout the league, Well, let's 102 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: go through it. On Thursday night started with the Raiders. 103 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: I told you after the Raiders game. I told you 104 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: going into the game against the Raiders. I told you 105 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: coming out of the game against the Raiders this was 106 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: a really good win for the Texans with all they 107 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: had going against them, against a really good football team, 108 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: and the Raiders proved it on Thursday night again, five 109 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: and four Oakland beats four and six LA twenty six, 110 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: twenty four. The Raiders defense comes up big, but a 111 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: big loss for them on the defensive side. Carl Joseph 112 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: looks as if he's lost for the year, but the 113 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: Raiders get it done on Thursday night in the black Hole. 114 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: And the more I watched his team, and I know 115 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: I shouldn't like other teams, I tend to like to 116 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: watching this Raiders team. It doesn't seemly do a lot 117 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: really well, but win, I mean find a way to win. 118 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: They run the ball, Okay, they didn't run it exceptionally well. 119 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: The other night twenty one for seventy eight. Josh Jacobs 120 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: had seventy one yards, but he did have a touchdown. 121 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: But the defense Eric Harris, Eric Harris two interceptions was 122 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: just a beast all game long. He came up with two. 123 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: He had a third one but it got overturned because 124 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: of a penalty. Two interceptions, three passes defense Cleveland Farrell 125 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: had two and a half sacks, two tackles for a 126 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: lost three quarterback hits. An unbelievable day for the Raiders. 127 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: They get a win on Thursday, then we go to 128 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: the Sunday games. Matt Stafford two huge streaks were broken 129 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: playing streaks on Sunday. Matt Staffords was broken against the Bears. 130 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: He had started for I believe one hundred and thirty 131 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: six consecutive games, but he unable to go. Jeff Driscoll 132 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: had to step in. Did some good things through forty 133 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: six times, which I don't think what you want Jeff 134 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: Driscoll doing. But he had touchdown interception, had the ball 135 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: late in the game with one Hail Mary shot. It 136 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: didn't come through. The Bears get to win. Mitchell Trubisky's 137 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: taken a lot of heat, and deservedly so, but he 138 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: did throw three touchdowns yesterday. The Bears just can't run 139 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: the ball consistently and that's part of the issue. But 140 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: Alan Robinson catches six for eighty six, Taylor gabriel A, 141 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: Turet Cohen, and Ben Bronnicker all with touchdowns for the Bears. 142 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: Bears get a much needed win twenty to thirteen over 143 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. This week's opponent to Baltimore Ravens couldn't 144 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: have been more dominant against a terrible team. I say 145 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: this with all due respect to since Anti Bengals, but 146 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: that is not a good team. There isn't anybody but 147 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: Geno Atkins. Nobody, nobody but Gino Atkins would start on 148 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: this Texans roster, not one guy, not one. There wouldn't 149 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: be anybody but Geno Atkins. That could start a lot 150 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: of places throughout the league. But Lamar Jackson gets it 151 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: done a perfect rating of one fifty eight point three, 152 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: fifteen to seventeen, three touchdowns, more touchdowns and incompletions. He 153 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: also had a magnificent forty seven yard touchdown run. The 154 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: Ravens with a forty nine to ten win. Marcus Peters 155 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: had to pick six. Here's one number to consider though 156 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: Joe Mixon for the Bengals ran at thirty times one 157 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen yards just under four yards to carry. 158 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: The Texans are carrying it at four yards to carry. 159 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: They just might upset the greatest team on Earth. Well, 160 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what everybody's telling me. The Ravens ard 161 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: as the greatest team on Earth. But Ravens get a win. 162 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: They're seven in two right now, the number two seed 163 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: in the AFC. The Browns took on the Bills. Now, 164 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: apparently for the weekend, the Bills fans were shutting down 165 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: all the different bars in Cleveland because they traveled so 166 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: incredibly well to Cleveland. Unfortunately for the Bills, Bills took 167 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: on the chin. Browns get a win. Nick Chubb twenty 168 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: for one sixteen, Baker Mayfield through for two hundred and 169 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: thirty eight yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions. That's the key. 170 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: But Jarvis Landry was the dude. Nine catches, ninety seven 171 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown. Oh No, Beckham Junior was targeted 172 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: twelve times and they had caught it five Tredevious White 173 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: took on that challenge and did a pretty good job 174 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: with that. The Bills just unable really to generate a 175 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: ton of offense. Josh Allen through forty one times ran 176 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: a six, didn't throw a pick, but just couldn't put 177 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: the ball in the end zone. And the Browns get 178 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: a nineteen to sixteen win. And I told look at 179 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: the Browns schedule over the next few weeks, A couple 180 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: of games against Pittsburgh starting Thursday night, a couple of 181 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: games against Cincinnati. The Saint could turn around very quickly 182 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: for the Browns, very very quickly. In the biggest upset 183 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: of the day, the two and seven Falcons, while they 184 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: were one and seven going in, but they went to 185 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: two and seven beating the Saints. The Saints held to 186 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: the three field goals by one of the worst defenses 187 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: in the league. The Falcons put it all together, They're 188 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: all on the same page. They had a magnificent game Offensively, 189 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: they didn't do a whole lot thirty four carries on 190 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: hundred forty three yards in the ground. Matt Ryan threw 191 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: for only one hundred and eighty two yards, but he 192 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: did have two touchdowns, one to Austin Hooper, who's gonna 193 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: get an MRI. So you got Austin Hooper on your 194 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: fantasy team, keep an eye out. Looks like he's gonna 195 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: miss a few weeks with an injury. And then Brian Hill. 196 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: Brian Hill, yeah, formerly of Wyoming running back a few 197 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: years ago, stepping in for DeVante Freeman who was banged up. 198 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: Austin Hooper is now banged up. But the Falcons get 199 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: a win. Why the pass rush, the pass rush, the 200 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: pass rush, six sacks a Drew Brees six and that 201 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: man Grady Jarrett, one of my favorite players in this 202 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 1: whole league. I had that dude Peg from Jump. I 203 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: knew that dude was gonna be a baller, and he 204 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: is two and a half sacks and Grady Jarrett Falcons 205 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: get the twenty six to nine dominant win. The Giants 206 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: played the Jets, and yeah, the Jets won thirty four 207 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: twenty seven. That's all I gotta say about that. Cardinals 208 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: played the Buccaneers and it was kind of the same thing. 209 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: Bucks one thirty to twenty seven. Kyle Murray for the 210 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: Cardinals has another big day. He goes twenty seven to 211 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: forty four, three touchdowns. But Jamis Winston in a typical 212 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: this is the consummate Jameis Winston day thirty to forty 213 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: eight about right, three and fifty eight yards about right, 214 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: one touchdown, two interceptions. That is it. Jameis Winston day, 215 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: but he got to win. They get to win. Mike 216 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: Evans ends up with just four cats for eighty two yards. 217 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: Oj Howard with a touchdown reception, and Peyton Barber and 218 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: Ronald Jones both get in the end zone. Rushing Bucks 219 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: get to win. Texas will play them a few weeks 220 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: down the road, but they win and get to three 221 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: and six. In the one that I'm still shaking my 222 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: head at Chiefs Titans, the fourth quarter was incredible, but 223 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: you talk about serving a game up on a platter. 224 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: Chiefs fumbled, Titans returned for a touchdown, Derrick Henry long run, 225 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: don't tackle him, sixty eight yard run for a touchdown. 226 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: Then they drove all the way down the field, Derrick 227 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: Henry one yard touchdown run. Then they boxed the fuel 228 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: goal snap intensio grounding. Ryan Tannehill goes right back down 229 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: for a touchdown to give him the lead. They've got 230 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: thirty seconds about that twenty three seconds left, enough time 231 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: to go get a field goal. Range through gets blocked, 232 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: And I know I watched that. I thought the guy 233 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: was offside, Josh Klue coming off the edge. What it was, 234 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: and somebody put this on Twitter and it's perfect. They 235 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: showed all seven videos of extra points and field goals 236 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: and Chiefs kick and he timed it perfectly. The Chiefs 237 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: had the same cadence the entire game on their field 238 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: goal and he picked it perfectly and that got the block. 239 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs fall to six and four. Even though there were 240 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: others in the media saying, Ah, yeah, they're they're gonna 241 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: win out. Nope, not gonna happen. Also not winning out 242 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: was Indianapolis Colts, scoreless in the first half, scored just 243 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: twelve in the second half as the Miami Dolphins win 244 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: a second game in a row. The Dolphins held the 245 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: Colts to just one hundred and nine yards under ground 246 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: at three point eight yards per carry, Brian Hoyer eighteen 247 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: to thirty nine for two oh four and three interceptions. 248 00:13:54,480 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: The three interceptions guys like Nick need Him, Who is 249 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: Nick need Him? Yeah, I don't even know who Nick 250 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: need Him is. Stephen Parker. I don't know him because 251 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: he played at Oklahoma. I know that Bobby McCain played 252 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: at Memphis. Those are the three interceptions yesterday from Miami, 253 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: and thank you, thank you, thank you, Miami. Yet again 254 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: you trade it with us. We get Laramie tunsl and 255 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: Kenny Stills and then you beat the Colts in Indianapolis. 256 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: And here's something to consider with that. The Dolphins and 257 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: the Steelers were the two crossover games the Colts had 258 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: to play. There are two games each year that the 259 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: Colts and the Texans are going to differ on and 260 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: those are the two the first place versus second place games. 261 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: The Texans, because they came in first place last year, 262 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: face the Ravens and the Patriots. Tough game, tough tough, 263 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: tough games. Don't get me wrong, tough games. Haven't played 264 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: those yet. But the Colts got a gift. They got 265 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: to face the Steelers with Mason Rudolph and the Dolphins, 266 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: and the Colts loss both two in a row. It's 267 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: Colts five and four or they'll face the Jags next 268 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: week at four and five in Indianapolis. Panthers and Packers 269 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: played a whale of the game in the snow. Panthers 270 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: get to win twenty four to sixteen. The big story 271 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: here's Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones had four touchdowns against the 272 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. He had three yesterday. Christian McCaffrey another solid 273 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: game on hundred and eight yards on the ground, thirty 274 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: three through the air, but he came up just inches 275 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: short to give the Panthers an opportunity to end, to 276 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: tie the game and send overtime. Packers win eight in two. 277 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: You could have knocked me over with the feather who 278 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: told me that when we scrimmage them up there, I 279 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: never would have seen it coming. Speaking of Wisconsin ties, 280 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: t J. Watton and Steelers defense got all over Jared 281 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: Goff all over him. Steelers win seventeen to twelve. That's 282 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: four in a row for the Steelers, now five and four. 283 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: If the season ended today, the Steelers will be coming 284 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: here to face the Texans in a wild card round. Well, 285 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: obviously the season doesn't end here, and both teams are 286 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: thinking about doing bigger and better. But the story the 287 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: defense make a Fitzpatrick, Terrell Edmunds, Joe Hayden all with interceptions, 288 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: make it. Fitzpatrick picked up a fumble, ran it back 289 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: for a not not offensive touchdown. T J. Watt forced 290 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: to fumble. He had two sacks, Javon Hargrave one sack, 291 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: Cameron Hayward had a sack. They hit Jared Goff nine times, 292 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: seventeen to twelve. Jared Goff just harassed all day long. 293 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: The offensive line for the Rams. I knew was gonna 294 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: be a problem, and it's a bigger problem than even 295 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: I thought. At the beginning of the year, Steelers win 296 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: seventeen twelve. In the nightcap, the Vikings, behind Dalvin Cook 297 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: and Kyle Rudolph, had a twenty eight twenty four win 298 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: over the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys now five and four when 299 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: the Vikings moved to seven and three. All right, we 300 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: get back. It's time to catch up with the General 301 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: John McLean right here in Texas Axis.

And I also spent 326 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: a lot of time watching that Packers game because it 327 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: was snowing in Green Bay. And I love watching games 328 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: and lambeau Field ain't covering them when it is snowing. Yeah. 329 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: I love the snow games. I mean, obviously I grew 330 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: up Wisconsin, so I've seen a few. I think I've 331 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: actually been to a few, and we went to Green 332 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: Bay in twenty sixteen that was there as well. John, 333 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: Did you give the Dolphins any chance at all of 334 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: winning that game on Sunday and at the end of 335 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: it when the Dolphins pull it off, is it more 336 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: surprising the Dolphins got to win or that they're completely 337 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 1: blowing it when they're trying to go for the number 338 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: one pick? Apparently. I've sent a column about the Texans 339 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: and in my second paragraph it was I wrote this, 340 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: I've wrote it about after the first games, and I 341 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: sent that the Texans remained a half game. Half game 342 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: had in Indianapolis and then Baltimore one. It was seven 343 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: and two, so I fully expected them to win, even 344 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: with Brian Orrier replacing Jacoby Brisette and see why Hilton out. 345 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: And I was shocked when they didn't pull it off. Yeah, 346 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: absolutely shocking. The Colts weren't able to do it. Brian Hoyer, 347 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: you're down to her would be third string quarterback. They 348 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: were trying to make a day of it and could 349 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: not do it. But John, here's the AFC South. So 350 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: are the Colts that much better with Brissette? I would 351 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: think so, And maybe the Colts you would still consider 352 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: them the biggest threat. Or are the Titans really going 353 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: to get it together? With Bryan Tannehill built some confidence 354 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: after this, even though the Chiefs made a lot of 355 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 1: mistakes to lead to that Tennessee victory. Tanio is three 356 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: and one since he replaced Marcus Mariota. All three victories 357 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: have been achieved when he came from minim in the 358 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: fourth order, and that's a good sign for the Titans. Now, 359 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: their defense is usually good. They gave up five hundred 360 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: and thirty or twenty yards and of course my Homes 361 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: was fantastic, and that's interesting. You know, my Homes through 362 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: three touchdown passes against the Texans and lost. He threw 363 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: three against the Titans and loss. So their defense is 364 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: killing them. And so I'm not sure about the Titans. 365 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: And when Nick Foles coming back with the Jaguars, you know, 366 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: the Jaguars play the Colts, Titans are off and when 367 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: Foles coming back, maybe they're gonna be better. I still 368 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: think this race is going to be terrific. It's going 369 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: to go down to the end. The Texans face and 370 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: touch the stretch of the season. After watching the Titans yesterday, 371 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: I thought, well, those last four games, the Texans have 372 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: a chance to sweep, and they still do. But the 373 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: Titans proved, you know, if they can beat the Chiefs, 374 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: they're good. I think I saw a note that the 375 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: Titans are nineteen and six at home in their last 376 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: twenty five games, and what they're trying to do right 377 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: now is there. I don't know if this is a 378 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: false security, but you know, everybody knows they're gonna move 379 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: on from Marcus Mariota. The key is his panny. I'll 380 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: play well enough for them to believe in him to 381 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: sign him to a long term contract. Or do they 382 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: pursue another quarterback. They're gonna have to trade way up 383 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: to get one in the first round if they keep 384 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: playing the way they did yesterday. Yeah. Just keep believing 385 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: in Tannehill. Just keep just keep believing in Tannehill, Just 386 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: keep going. Derrick Henry's the problem. Derrick Henry was the 387 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: problem yesterday for the Chiefs, the problem on Sunday for 388 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: the Texans. John is gonna be Lamar Jackson. I don't 389 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 1: put a ton of stock in what went on yesterday 390 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: against the Cincinnati Bengals because that might it not might 391 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: it is the worst team in football? Are their names? 392 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: I don't even recognize. I don't even know what the 393 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: Bengals are trying to do. To be honest with you, 394 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: they do need a quarterback, it looks like because Ryan 395 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: Finley is not going to be the answer. But the 396 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: more pressing for the Texans is that Baltimore offense, in 397 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: particular Lamar Jackson. I put more stocking what that group 398 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: was able to do against the Patriots on the Sunday 399 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: night game than yesterday. But this is a different and 400 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: unique offense. The Texans don't see it every week. In fact, 401 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: nobody sees it every week. And now they got to 402 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: go up to Baltimore and try and stop it and 403 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, John, what have you seen from the Ravens 404 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: And how problematic is it that they're facing such a 405 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: unique offense in particular, Columba is all about them talking 406 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson and what they have to do to 407 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: try to contain him in the kind of weapon he is. 408 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: I asked Jonathan Joseph's in his fourteenth season, best running 409 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: quarterback he's played against. And he didn't hesitate, he said 410 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: Michael Vick. And then he said, now, of course he 411 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: hadn't seen Jackson in person, but he's seen him a lot, 412 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: and he said that, you know, nobody is like him. 413 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: In two games against Miami and Cincinnati has two perfect 414 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: ratings point three. He hadn't been robbed. Kilsberger the only 415 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the history they have one fifty eight point 416 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: three ratings twice. And he did his work against Miami 417 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: and Cincinnati. And a lot of people get mad when 418 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: you point that out because people are so defensive about 419 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: him when people they think there's anything negative about him. 420 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: And I'm just pointing out the fives eight touchdowns, no 421 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: interceptions against those two teams, seven and five against everybody else. 422 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: The Beagles have done a good job on him. And 423 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: he was averaging three yards of carry until he got 424 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: loose for as longest runt of the season forty seven yards, 425 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: and he scored a touchdown and he threw the ball 426 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: to tide in Mark Andrews very well. But the key 427 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: is you got to be able to contain him. They 428 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: got to play discipline, got to fill the gaps just 429 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: because you played discipline and fill the gaps and if 430 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: they do everything around the open now tells him. It 431 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: still doesn't mean they're gonna be able to get the 432 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: guy on the ground because he's so elucid and he 433 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: breaks so many tackles. But it's gonna be so much 434 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: fun because the ware of this game, I believe between 435 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: Jackson and Watson is going to move up behind Russell 436 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: Wilson and the talk for MVP. And if Russell Wilson 437 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: does not play well tonight and the Seahawks lose at 438 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: San Francisco, then that MVP race might be wide open. 439 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: It feels like such a week to week thing with 440 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: the MVP race. Like you said, if Wilson loses tonight, 441 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: well that's Jackson. If Watson wins next week, well it's Watson. 442 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: And by the way, with the perfect quarterback rating thing, 443 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: Jackson threw its seventeen times yesterday. It was fifteen of seventeen. 444 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 1: That's very good obviously, seventeen throws because that's how they 445 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: played there, the number one rushing team in the league. Watson, 446 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: when he had his perfect quarterback rating this year against Atlanta, 447 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: he threw it thirty three times he was twenty eight 448 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: of thirty three. So it's a little bit of a 449 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: different deal, I think when you have the volume of 450 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: passes Watson had one of the highest volumes of all 451 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: time and putting together a perfect quarterback rating game. But 452 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: that's just man. Cincinnati played great run defense. You know, 453 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: they were averaging two hundred and four yards of game 454 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: and they ended up with you throw in his forty 455 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: eight yard run, you take a forty seven yard run, 456 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: you take that out. And the Bengals had played terrific 457 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: run defense and they control the quack well. One reason 458 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: that the Ravens didn't have more plays is they were 459 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: dominated on the clock, and yet they still dominated the 460 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: scoreboard and they're capable of doing that. But like Jarns said, 461 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: all we need to know about Lamar Jackson is he 462 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: led the Ravens to a victory over unbeaten New England 463 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: and they beat him by think seventeen points at home. 464 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: And and if Watson wants to be seriously considered for 465 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: the MVP, is not this game as much as those 466 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: next two on National TV again Indianapolis and New England. 467 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: And fortunately for the Texans, both of them are here. 468 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's about time they got a game against 469 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots here instead of in Foxborough. And there's a 470 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: chance this could be the first two against the Ravens. 471 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: First two against the Patriots. I don't think it'll be. 472 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: First and two have been against the Calls. But when 473 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: Broussette comes back, you know, the Texans don't need to 474 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: be reminded he's four and all against them. Had the 475 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: Texans been flexed by the way Sunday night, that would 476 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: have been three games in a row on national television. 477 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: And that's probably why. But you're also playing a Sunday 478 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: night game and then having to turn around and play 479 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: a Thursday night game. Yeah, holy smoke on the road 480 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: Sunday night game in a late return because it's not 481 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: a close trip. But to that end, John Baltimore at Baltimore, 482 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 1: Indianapolis on Thursday night in New England on a Sunday night. 483 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: The Texas have played in playoff games over the last 484 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: time many every years, but it feels like this three 485 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: game stretch is not only as important as any three 486 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: to kind of gauge where this team is. But with 487 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: the two primetime games mixed in with a game of 488 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: Watson v. Jackson. This is about as exciting a three 489 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: we span as could be for this Texans team. It seems, 490 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: what do you what do you see when you look 491 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: at these three games coming forward with the two prime 492 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: timers and then the matchup with jackson Now, first of all, 493 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: on that ending game, you know, Brisette had a sprained 494 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: MCL and they kept talking about his week to week 495 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: and he was probably gonna play, and then he didn't play, 496 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: and as they're any guarantee he's going to be able 497 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: to play come back. That quake from springed MCL play 498 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville and nick Falls Colts lost to the Raiders 499 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: at home. They lost to the Miami at home. I'm 500 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: not sure through their other two lasses were against, but 501 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: you know there they've showed their beatable and when Brisett's playing, 502 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: they're not. It's not that they're unbeatable, but my goodness, 503 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: you don't want to be in a playoff race when 504 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: Brian Orrior is your quarterback. Although I think I saw 505 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks or twenty two and twenty this season, and 506 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: Horrier had played well. The previous game. He threw a 507 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: pick six at Pittsburgh when Veny Terry mister Field goal 508 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: get of the game to lose that one, but you 509 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: know they're in the tail spend right now at the 510 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,479 Speaker 1: worst possible time. Texans are on a role at the 511 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: best possible tib and having two weeks for Romeo Cornell 512 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: to prepare for Jackson is just you know, that's the 513 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: best possible situation. And even though I loved the Colts 514 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: coming in on Thursday night and the Patriots on Sunday night, 515 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: because the Jackson and Watson, I'm especially fired up for 516 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,719 Speaker 1: this game. John. The Cowboys have the number one offense 517 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: in the league, their neck and neck with Philadelphia right now. 518 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: We know what happened in the first meeting between those two. 519 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: What do you think of that NFC East race between 520 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: those two. I'm stunned the Cowboys lost that game last night. 521 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: I thought they were on a role and played at home. 522 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: Minnesota had lost the game, Vikings pulled it out. Cowboy 523 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: bands are devastated. They waylaid the Eagles in the first game. 524 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: And it's a two team race. But I don't think 525 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: either one of them is special right now, not like 526 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: the others. The biggest shocker yesterday to me, he wasn't 527 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: Miami over Brian Horrior. It was one in seven in Atlanta, 528 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: go into seven and one New Orleans, New Orleans coming 529 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: out of the break and being as flat as a pancake. 530 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: And that was just shocking. Not just a close lot 531 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: of settled on a field goal, but the Falcons just 532 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: beat the head out of him in the super doll. 533 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: That was the biggest surprise. When we get back, Andre 534 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: Ware talks about the Ravens Heisman package in a photo 535 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: that he'd like to take on Sunday, and I don't 536 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: blame him that next Texans A Axis, we got one 537 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: final segment of this Texans All Access edition on a 538 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: Monday evening from the Honday Texans Radio studio. Glad to 539 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: be with you. I'm your host, Sean Harris. Did so 540 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: much as have any hot reads tonight, but if we did, 541 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: they'd be brought to you by Geico fifteen minutes continue 542 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: fifteen percent or more on car insurance. What we did 543 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: have were great takes for people like John McLean and 544 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: our next guest on Drear dre Here we go Sunday noon, 545 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens on the road, and the nightmare that 546 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: is Lamar Jackson for opposing football teams, number one rushing 547 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,719 Speaker 1: team in the league, number two offense overall, two perfect 548 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: quarterback rating performances for Jackson, So how do you stop him? 549 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: How do you slow him down? Drey, I'd get paid 550 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: a lot of money if I had the answer to 551 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: that mark because a lot of people would be clamorous 552 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: for exactly how to stop Lamar Jackson. You think that, well, 553 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: you take away to crowd the line of scrimmage, force 554 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: him to throw the football, and he's been he's been 555 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: doing that at a high level this season. And then 556 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: you back off and he's gonna kill you with his legs, 557 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: as he did on that forty seven yard touchdown. Right. 558 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen that, the listeners haven't seen it, 559 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: pull it up. It's it's about the most dynamic thing 560 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: that that you'll see this season. Are close to it. 561 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: So two good young quarterbacks that are going that are 562 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: going to get it on again because they did in college. 563 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: And Deshaun got the best of Lamar. I know who 564 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: for a fact. That doesn't sit well with Lamar and 565 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: he's he's gotten a looking to write that ship in 566 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: this one. But this will be this will be a 567 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: fantastic football game. Dre back. During the draft process in 568 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, you had an opportunity to catch up with Lamar. 569 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: He did not grant interviews to a lot of people. 570 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: In fact, I think you were the only one he 571 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: granted interview too. What was it about him that sold 572 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: you on the fact? Other than obviously what we see 573 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: in the field, the athletics and the ability to throw 574 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: the ball, run up like all that kind of stuff, 575 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: what sold you on the fact that this guy was 576 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: going to end up being a top notch NFL quarterback 577 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,959 Speaker 1: one day. You can't measure what's inside a guy's test. Johnny, 578 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: and he had made up his mind and in his 579 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: heart that he was an NFL quarterback, to the point 580 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: that he didn't even run a forty because he didn't 581 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: want He knew he would run a fast one, and 582 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: he didn't want any He didn't want to load anyone's 583 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: gun or give anybody ammunition to move him or which 584 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: positions once he was drafted, so he didn't run the forty. 585 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: But talking with his mother during that process, talking to him, 586 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: he was he was hell bent on playing quarterback in 587 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: the NFL and that was all he wanted to play it. 588 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: I think now everybody sees exactly why. I said at 589 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: the time that if you love Deshaun Watson coming out 590 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: of college, that you had and there were some people 591 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: that gave DeShawn less than stellar grades, didn't give him 592 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: first round grades, which is absolutely insane. I absolutely insane. 593 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: I said that year he should be the first pick 594 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: in the draft, And I said, if you loved Deshaun 595 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: coming out, then you're at least had to like Lamar 596 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: because they're so similar in the way they approached the game, 597 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: the way they play the game, the dynamic manner in 598 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: which they play the game, and I think seeing both 599 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: on the field against one another, I'd take it more 600 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: so than every four years, that's for sure. That's a 601 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: good point. Every three four years, whatever it turns out 602 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: to be. Look if they finish, if they both win 603 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,479 Speaker 1: their divisions a lot, we'll see it every year. Like 604 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: Manning Brady, you saw that. But I know we got 605 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: a long way to go before we get to that 606 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: kind of talk. But Dre, you mentioned the Louisville Clemson 607 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: matchup in twenty sixteen forty two to thirty six, Clemson 608 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: over Louisville and the effect of that in this one 609 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: what about the Heisman thing though, We've got a Heisman 610 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: winner from that year against a guy who didn't win 611 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: it but won the national championship. What about that part 612 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: of it? Yeah, and you know there's DeShawn on the 613 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: other side of it looking back thinking, you know, well, 614 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: he should have won it and then went to the 615 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: National champions and went on to win a national championship 616 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: that year. So he took care of business down the stretch. 617 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: He's got that in his craw and he wants to 618 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: write it. And you went better way than to face 619 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: off against the guy that actually won it. And both 620 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: guys are playing at an extremely high level. There'll be 621 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: sparks flying in this when they'll be plays made, and 622 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: I think it all comes down to who controls the 623 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: football in the line of scrimmage and who turns it 624 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: over the least amount of times will win the ball game. 625 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: This going on the road into Baltimore, you know they're 626 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 1: gonna have a good defense first and foremost. You know 627 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 1: they're gonna play well on special teams. But you throw 628 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,479 Speaker 1: an offense that can move it. And I thought last 629 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: year they kind of brought Lamar along slowly. They ran 630 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: the ball a bunch didn't align the throat. They just 631 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: decide to open it up this year, and I think 632 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: they really see what they have going there. It's a 633 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: tough environment, tough place to play. It always has been, 634 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: no matter what Baltimore team from whatever year. It's just 635 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: tough going into that building and playing especially with their 636 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 1: the way they play defense, you will have to be 637 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: buttoned up and not turn the ball over. You can't 638 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: have pre snap penalties, things of that sort that really 639 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: make it tough because against good defenses you've got to 640 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 1: play clean. I can only imagine how tough and transition 641 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: that is, though, when you're running a Joe Tacho led 642 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: offense and you gotta transition into Lamar Jackson the exact 643 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: same thing. No, we're not, well, here's here's the deal. 644 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: Here's the deal about Lamar. That that that people just 645 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: kind of it's kind of falling by the wayside. He 646 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: played in about as pro ready an offense as you 647 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: could possibly play in with Bobby Petrino. I mean, he 648 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: was the offensive coordinator with the Jacksonville Jaguars for a while. 649 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: He's he's coached in the pros. So the terminology in 650 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: which he had to get in the huddle and start 651 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: to spit things out. Young quarterbacks struggle with all those things. 652 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: Lamar had three years of that with Petrino, who actually 653 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: got smart and started to you know, tink, tinker with 654 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: the offense so that he could take advantage of all 655 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: of Lamar's talent. So, uh, kudos to coach Petrino and 656 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: and as well Lamar were picking up on those things 657 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: and then building from from there. Dre bigger surprise yesterday 658 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: the fact that the Colts lost to the Dolphins or 659 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: the fact that the Colts lost to the Dolphins. Hey man, 660 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: is the clock running out on Vinytary or what I mean? 661 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: Because field goal earlier in that game. Yeah, they're driving 662 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: to kick a field goal to win it. And then 663 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: you look back a couple of weeks ago, or a 664 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 1: week or so ago when he missed one. That last 665 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 1: week when he when he missed and they cost him 666 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: the game. So uh, that one may be coming to 667 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: an end. I know, they at least got to be 668 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 1: auditioning kickers this week. Yeah, that might happen. Andre back 669 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: to the Heisman thing for a moment. They got three 670 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: in the backfield yesterday for the Ravens. I mean, they 671 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: had Ingram, they had RG three, and they had Jackson. 672 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: They had three Heisman Trophy winners in the backfield. And 673 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,879 Speaker 1: you know if they do this next week, we got 674 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: one of the booth and they got three down. Then 675 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: we got a lot of Heisman who reunion in Baltimore. 676 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: We squat photo. You know how they take squat foot. 677 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,760 Speaker 1: You gotta get down and get a Heisman squat photo. 678 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 1: After a lost night, I might say we can pull 679 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: that off this week. I'm gonna call both guys and 680 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: tell them pre game, Hey, let's get together and get 681 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,919 Speaker 1: get a photo. I'll call all over. No doubt, no doubt. 682 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we can't make that happen. Do 683 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: you guys have one gigantic text thread going? It's like 684 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: Heisman House test thread. We'll bring the Heisman House to Baltimore. 685 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: Cheez that that'd be funny. I didn't think about that, 686 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: But it is filled. That building will be filled with 687 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: that the four out of how many I'm trying to 688 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 1: think of the percentage here, but either way, I was 689 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: like doing the math. I've only been eighty and one 690 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years from college football, so I don't know. 691 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,919 Speaker 1: I can't break the math down that quick. That's five 692 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: percent in one building. That's that's pretty nice, Dre. The 693 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: Titans yesterday get a winner of the Kansas Cee Chiefs. 694 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still shaking my hand at how the 695 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: Chiefs ended up losing that ball game. But you have 696 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 1: said it, Mark has warned me. I have said flat 697 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 1: out the Titans just I just have poo pooed them 698 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 1: all year. But they find a way to win at home, 699 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: and they have the one thing that travels every week, 700 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: and that is another Heisman Trophy winner, Derek Henry. I 701 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: was shocked the way that that thing ended. How did 702 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: you see that Chiefs lost to the Titans. More about 703 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,800 Speaker 1: the Titans winning the Chiefs losing, Well, how many times 704 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: have you guys heard me say, you don't put the 705 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: game in the kicker's hand. Ever. Ever, if you get 706 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: take care of business, you drive your score and the 707 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: game's over. I never, I never believed in playing for 708 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: field goals because that guy doesn't face the pressure enough. 709 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: You know, you can try to create situations during the week, 710 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: you can, you know, in training camp and so on 711 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 1: and so forth, but when it's you know that you're 712 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: not on the field only, but only a couple of times, 713 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: and then you know, here here it goes. The game's 714 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: in your hand. Um. I bet they'd have played it 715 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: a little bit differently and got a little more aggressive 716 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 1: during that drive if they knew that a box snap 717 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: was was gonna happen, and then you know they would 718 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: drive down even miss another one sou that it was surprising. 719 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: I do believe that the Chiefs will be back. The 720 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: healthier Mahomes gets, they'll they'll get some help back on 721 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: the offensive line. He had a couple of guys go there. 722 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: I think Martinez Ranking went set down yesterday with a knee, 723 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: but that's that's been the problem for them as upfront 724 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 1: and Mahomes having to move around way way too much. 725 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: Trey is the potential chaos with the one loss Alabama situation, 726 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: some of the things that can happen with Baylor maybe 727 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: one lost Pack ten team. Is that good for college 728 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: football when we have these debates, I think it is. 729 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it keeps everybody interested. I would love it 730 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: if if we wouldn't release polls before the first couple 731 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 1: of weeks of the season, because everybody's playing cupcakes to 732 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: start the season. So to speak. And you have one 733 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: or two teams, maybe up to four that are actually 734 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 1: playing games decent, decent opponents to get the season started, 735 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: but the majority aren't. And so let's see how good, guys, 736 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,439 Speaker 1: you know, these teams are for the first couple of weeks, 737 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,800 Speaker 1: and then we start to wrangle because there's no way 738 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: Minnesota should have to climb from where they they have been. 739 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: And then they knock off the number four team in 740 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: the country. I think the discussions are good. They'll continue, 741 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: and it's fun to see what Baylor's doing. It's fun 742 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: to see teams like Minnesota. You know. You guys know, 743 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm always rooting for the underdog to knock off the 744 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 1: big boys. And and so that was that was you know, 745 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: a lot of fun for me to kind of watch 746 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,280 Speaker 1: it as as my game was being played. Yet on Saturday, 747 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry speaking of your game. Hey, how did you 748 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: like covering real football for once? And how did you 749 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: like stadium? You guys made the air? Did you know 750 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: that that our picture from Wimbley made uh it made 751 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: the air on that Yeah, you made air on on Saturday. 752 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 1: But it was fun being in Yankee Stadium just walking through, 753 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,360 Speaker 1: you know, the halls there and seeing the history and 754 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: seeing you know, the Hall of Fame and all of 755 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 1: that stuff that they have right there at the stadium. 756 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,839 Speaker 1: It was it was great. And then the way they 757 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: positioned the field there, it actually looks like it could 758 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: house college football games, NFL games for that matter. It Uh, 759 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: it looked every bit the part and I was pleasantly surprised. 760 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: And then you get the product on the field with 761 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: Princeton and Dartmouth. Uh, they it was a great football game, 762 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: a lot of history and I think we covered that 763 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: very well, that the history of Princeton one hundred and 764 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: fifty years of football, then playing in the first game 765 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: against Rutgers. Dartmouth it is their two hundred and fiftieth 766 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: year as a university, and so there's just a tremendous 767 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: amount and then you got good football to go along 768 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: with it. It was great. Great. Dartmouth is located in 769 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: the woods in New Hampshire. I mean two hundred fifty 770 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: years ago. Let's put a university here in the woods 771 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 1: for you. Because it is the thirtieth anniversary of your 772 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,280 Speaker 1: hisman season. So this is having up the Heisman questions. 773 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,280 Speaker 1: We just talked about it Watson wins the National Championship 774 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen that season, and maybe if they had 775 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 1: a vote after that, maybe he would have wanted it. 776 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: Kind of reminds me of the Vince Young thing in 777 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 1: oh six If they voted after that game, he would 778 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 1: have won it. I would think, should they wait or 779 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: do you like it the way it is where the 780 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: voting is at. Well, if games are continuing to be 781 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: to be played in there later and later, I think 782 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: definitely you need to push it back, you know. We 783 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: h it was a little bit different back in my 784 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: day thirty years ago obviously, but and it started to 785 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: change when they started moving the National Championship back and 786 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: actually the BCS came into into play. I think they do. 787 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: I think they should wait and let all games be 788 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: played and then have the vote. That that only seems right. 789 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 1: It seems fair. Times have changed, and maybe maybe the 790 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: Trust will get it right and move it back. That's 791 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 1: pretty amazing that there will be four Heisman Trophy winners 792 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 1: on site in Baltimore on Sunday. That's pretty cool. It's 793 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 1: been a great show. I got to thank John McClain, 794 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: Andre ware Mark Vannamir of course, but mainly you guys 795 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: for listen. Thank you so much. We'll see tomorrow and 796 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,360 Speaker 1: as always, go Texas.
