If you haven't heard him talk quarterbacks, 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.400 talk offense, talk football, just talk in general, you're missing out. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:44.200 Clint Sterner is absolutely fantastic.

Hot 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.280 reads brought to you by Geico. Fifteen minutes could save 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:43.280 you fifteen percent or more on car and or motorcycle insurance. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.360 And I'm gonna start with that one item I just 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:50.840 mentioned about looking back, Deshaun Watson got the notice this morning. 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:56.959 Great news about Deshaun Watson. He is named AFC Offensive 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:04.480 Player of the Week for the third time. Third time. Now, 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.720 just to give you a little bit of a background 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:15.080 on that accomplishment. Looking at just going back and looking 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.800 at Texans that have one Player of the Week awards 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:23.400 in the same season, I first thought, okay, well, JJ 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.280 Watt did it well in twenty twelve. JJ won it 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.560 in Week three in Week fifteen. In twenty fourteen, he 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.200 won Defensive Player of the Week in Week four in 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.920 week eleven. In fifteen he won at eleven seventeen. But 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:44.400 JJ never won it three times in a season. Shaun 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.840 Watson has now done that. He has done it three 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.360 times in actually eleven weeks. He won it in Week 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.520 three that was out in LA when we beat the Chargers. 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.040 He won it for Week five, that was his game 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.840 against the Atlanta Falcons, and he did it for this 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:06.280 win over the New England Patriots in Week thirteen. He 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.520 recorded the highest passer rating by an opponent against the 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.120 Patriots since Alex Smith in Week one of twenty seventeen. 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.960 That doesn't happen often. He was eighteen to twenty five 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.719 for two thirty four With that one forty point seven rating. 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.680 The Patriots had given up four passing touchdowns all year. 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.320 They gave up four on Sunday to Shawn through three 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:31.039 of them and then caught the other from DeAndre Hopkins. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:37.359 A fantastic, fantastic effort by to Shaun Watson. He is 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:46.039 three time twenty nineteen season AFC Offensive Player of the Week. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.920 Congratulations in fact, as I look at it, that's a 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.120 first for the Texans that has never been done. One 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:57.080 player winning Player of the Week three times in any 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.159 one season. You're a man to Shaun Watson has done 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.040 just that. That's fantastic stuff. All right, Next Hot read 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:10.599 Texans audio juke box. Here we go. Let's hear from 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.200 Bill O'Brien. How about that. We start with the head 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.000 coach of your Houston Texans, And of course he strode 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.000 to the podium and he was asked, how will Fuller 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.200 changes things for this offense? He had a dimension to 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.920 the offense. You know that helps him both phases, like 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.080 you're saying, I mean, obviously in the passing game, it's 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.159 obvious how he helps us. You know, he's good route runners, 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.880 get great speed. But then that can help in the 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.039 running game depending on how they play the side that 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.760 he's aligned on, you know, it can help you run 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.599 the ball over to that side a little bit better. 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.720 So yeah, there's a lot of things that having him 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.440 in the lineup does to help the offense. Now, this 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.120 weekend's gonna be a pretty interesting one for two players 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.159 in particular, one for the Broncos, one for the Texans 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.479 because they used to be a Texan and a Bronco, 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.320 and Krean Jackson is one of those. A's a guy 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.120 that we got to know very very well in his 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.919 time here in Houston. He is now he's starting safety 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.039 for the Denver Broncos, and coach talked about what he's 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.840 seen from the former Texan now playing safety. He's playing well. 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:12.080 He's playing safety, he's playing aggressive, good tackler. He's doing 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.240 a good job in coverage. He plays in a deep 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:15.919 part of the field, he plays down near the box. 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.640 He's he's he's playing at a really high level. He's 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.160 playing very well. A guy that has played very well 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.800 for the Texans is Bradley Roby. He had a tremendous 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:27.840 night on Sunday with the pick, had a sack. He 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.719 covered anybody and everybody, but mainly James White, the dangerous 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.720 running back out of the backfield, and coach talked out 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.040 the impact that Robe has had here for Houston. He's 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.000 got a lot of a lot of talent, right He's 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.480 he's got a good speed, good feet, good ball skills. 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:43.760 The big big thing with Bradley's been health, you know, 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.080 just making sure that he can be available to the team. 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.440 That's the big thing, and in a feast, stays available 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.039 to the team. He's healthy, then he can help. He 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:56.120 can help us, and this defense led by Bradley Roby, 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.200 is gonna have to face a rookie and only his 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.840 second star. He's only been active for a couple of weeks. 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.120 He was on injured reserve to start the year, and 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.880 that's Drew Locke and coach talked about what he's seen 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.520 from the rookie out of Missouri. He played well last week. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.680 I mean he made good descisions for the team and 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.240 he got him into the right plays. You could tell 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.360 he knows who to go to with the ball. He's 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.000 got Sutton, he's got Fant, got a lot of good 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.200 receivers and you know, tight ends, and then he's got 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.600 the ability to hand it off to Philip Lindsay. He 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.960 was really good, very good back. So he's doing a 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.800 good job. You know. I think these guys come into 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.360 the league and they're ready to go. They've been well 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.480 trained and they're ready to go. You heard one of 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.200 those names that coach mentioned, Courtland's Sutton. I called him 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:41.840 a poor man's young man, Julio Jones. That's kind of 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.920 who I would compare him to big, physical, fast, that's 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.200 pretty much everything. Here's what stood out the coach. Sixty four, 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.560 two hundred and sixteen pounds. I mean, very good player, 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.560 very physical guy, can run routes. The fifty fifty ball 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.400 is tough to defend with him. He's really good at 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:02.080 contested catches. So yeah, he's a He's a very difficult 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.920 challenge for us this week, no doubt. Oh yeah, Courtland 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.560 Sutton is what I like to call it, dude. But 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.040 the Texans secondary has been up to the task lately 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.680 and they should have everybody healthy, which would be really 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.880 nice to take on a guy like Courtland Sutton. Now, 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.640 your coach say, it's a big challenge. One of the 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:21.040 challenges is getting back to running the football, and coach 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.920 obviously was not please with the way the run game 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.360 performed on Sunday Night against the Patriots and said, yeah, 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.520 there's no doubt it's got to be better. We have 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.360 to improve in a running game. We're gonna work hard 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:34.679 on that this week and see if we can get 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.640 it better. I mean, this is a very challenging team 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.520 the Broncos to run the ball against, but we have 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.880 to coaches and players alike, we've got to We've got 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.480 a coach coach a better and you know, the players 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.640 have to work hard to execute it better. But we've 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:51.640 got to try to improve in a running game. There's 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.440 no question that is one of these aspects. And I've 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.720 actually looked at that because it was about this time 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.400 last year. I think this is my right. Week fourteen, Yeah, 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.480 four week four team the Texas took under the Innapolis Colts, 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.880 ran it for less than ninety yards, did not run 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.800 it exceedingly well. Over the last four weeks of the year. 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.560 They went over one hundred against the Jags, but a 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.520 good portion of that was Deshaun Watson. So running the 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.319 ball at this time of year is huge. What do 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.640 they say, running game and defense travels and if you 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.280 got to go on the road the playoffs, that's what 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:24.240 you've got to have for sure. So running game got 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.920 to pick up. All right, Let's get to DeShawn Watson. 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.599 He went to the podium today to final handle a 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.640 number of different things, and he of course was asked 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.160 about will Fuller see what Shaun Watson had to say 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.200 about his buddy at wide receiver, what impact he makes 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.240 on the offense. You have to respect everything that Will 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.360 is capable of doing, especially speak, and that's one of 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.040 his best traits. You know, like you said, I just 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:48.880 in a past game, but if you want to include 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.040 the run game, you know it pissed the dvs and 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.360 the safety's back a little bit more, you know for 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.360 run fits and so you know a stet of you know, 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.839 gaining you know, for safety's supposed to runfit and being 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.360 gap instead of gaining you know, three yards, you know, 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.240 the running backs gaining seven and those four est of 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.240 yards are big, you know, especially you know with this 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.440 you know Dan age of football, where you know, defensive 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.600 front's a very very stout in the run game. So everybody, 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.600 you know, opens up a lot of different things. One 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.600 of the key guys in that offensive front to open 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.000 things up in the run game is Nick Martin. Sign 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.040 the extension in the off season. It's been good to 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.960 see Nick continue develop fully healthy this year. Is the guy, 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.200 the man in the middle. And I remember talking about 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.440 this for a number of years up up until twenty seventeen, 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:39.320 there was always a different quarterback center combination. It was 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.720 Brock with Nick, and then it was Brock with Mans, 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.600 it was Hoyer with Ben Jones, it was fifty with 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.400 Chris Myers, and finally the Texans got settled in twenty 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.760 seventeen on the Shawn Watson and Nick Martin and Nats 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.920 what it needs to be going forward, and Deshaun spoke 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.880 about how Nick is such a key part of their offense. 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:06.560 If the quarterback and center is don't have that great relationship, man, man, 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.600 they can be a lot of bad things happening, for sure, 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.240 because he controls everybody up front and as he go, 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.600 I go. And you know, we do only two guys 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.000 that touch the ball every every single place, So we 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.960 have to be on the same plage with the with 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.120 the run points, the past protestions, seeing it through the 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.319 same set of eyes. And you know, teams do different 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.000 fronts each and you know, different you know disguises where 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.920 they can you know, move and things like that. So 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.600 if he's thinking one thing, I'm thinking one thing, you know, 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.720 I might be thinking, you know, I'm I'm you know, 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.280 picked up and really I'm hot. You know, I can 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:39.640 get hit in the back of the head or something 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.640 like that. So we just gotta be on the same 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.160 page and we continue to work on that. Yeah, we 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:45.920 don't need Deshan get it hit in the back of 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.560 the head. I think everybody knows that, including Deshan. We 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.920 don't need him getting hit in the back of the head. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.360 A guy that Deshan will be facing for the first 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.800 time is the guy that he was in the locker 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.520 room with, and that is Kareem Jackson. Of course, a 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.920 big point because he was a Texan here for nine 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.680 seasons and now he is leading to secondary for the 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.160 Denver Broncos. And Sean said, I got a lot of 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.520 respect for that guy. I call him to og him 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.520 and Jjoe. But when I first got here, he was 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.280 a guy that I looked though too, you know, gained 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.960 a lot of information from, you know, owning off the field. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.480 We still communicate and talk and support each other. He's 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.480 been having a hic of a year. It's gonna be 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.520 fun to, you know, see what he did because when 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.760 he was here, you know, he was very physical, mate 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.520 a lot of plays in the passing game, and he 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.240 was that leader. He was that heart and soul. So 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.320 he can see, you know, that's what they wanted in 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.840 Denver for him, and he's been given, you know, everything 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.360 he had you know and have, you know, for that 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.000 defensive for that team. So it's gonna be fun to 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.400 be able to go against him in compete. Yeah, I'm 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.680 just hoping that Koreer. I hope they don't meet on 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.320 the field, if you know what I mean. Kareem can 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.720 be a ruthless hitter man. He can bring the funk 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.760 and he will not hold back in this game. There's 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.640 no doubt. Now, when you have a big win like 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.760 the Texans did on Sunday against the New England Patriots, 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.559 it's right to ask if there will be any bit 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.439 of a hangover if you will, and Deshan said, do 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.559 not happening. That's not the type of guys we have 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.760 in that locker room. And then the leadership we have, 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.360 we're not gonna allow it. You know, Denver is a 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.719 great for an eight team if you want to look 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.360 at the record, but we don't look at the record. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.400 Every team is really good, and you got to turn 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.439 the page and be prepared each and every week. You 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.440 can't have the let ups because you will get embarrassed. 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.160 And you know, we gotta come out there. You know, 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.040 just how we prepared last week. We got to prepare 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:27.920 the same way and try to go out there and 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:29.880 make plays. They're gonna come in ready to go, and 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.080 you know, we gotta come ready to go and bring 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.560 a lot of energy and it's gonna be a great 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.920 you know, AFC December game, So it's gonna be good. 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:41.000 Deshan got his first win as a starter back in 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.280 twenty seventeen that Week two game at Cincinnati on a 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:48.680 Thursday night. Drew Locke got his first win last week 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:53.400 in a crazy ending against the LA Chargers, and Seawan said, man, 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.520 it means a lot to get a win in your 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.160 first start. It builds a lot of confidence within that 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.920 locker room, within yourself. Um, and that's where I got 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:02.880 to start. That confidence with yourself knowing that you can 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.960 can play at this level, you can win at this 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.560 level because it's hard to do, especially on a consistent basis. 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:11.440 So um yeah, man, it just changes everything. And you know, 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.360 everyone is a good spirits. You know, no one likes 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.400 to lose, and you know, if you're winning as a 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.559 young guy, it builds that trust and that the carabiti 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.280 around the locker room where you can just you know, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.800 continue to you know, bring guys along with you and 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.400 guys are supporting you and things like that. But if 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.360 you're losing, then you know, you can have a lot 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.480 of different egos and a lot of guys turn the 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.320 different ways. And that obviously is what Drew Locks trying 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:38.040 to avoid in Denver with that obvious particular situation there 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:39.680 as he starts, he's want to know as a start 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.000 of the Broncos four and eight overall, but want to 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.560 know as a starter hopefully one and one after Sunday. 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.400 So there you go. That's your Texas Audio jukebox and 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.560 your hot reads brought to you by Geico fifteen minutes 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.360 to save you fifteen percent or more on motorcycle and 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.240 or car in shirts. We get back, it's time to 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.680 talk to our good friend. Andre gives a few final 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.840 thoughts on the win over the Patriots, looking forward to 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.720 the Broncos and a trip that Andrea has taken to 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.680 New York City, not this weekend but next weekend. Why 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.720 is he doing that? We'll discuss all that next on 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:18.000 Texans All Access. Happy Wednesday, everybody, And I know my 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:22.000 teachers are all back at work after a long Thanksgiving 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.440 holiday break, but I got some relief where you have 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.480 some help for you. You want to bring a little 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.760 Texans football to your classroom and sign up for Toros Matros, 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.840 presented by Conico Phillips. Toros Matris is a video series 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.120 design helped third and fourth graders learn how to tackle 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.720 math in the classroom. Go to Houston Texans dot com 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:43.640 slash Toros Matris to learn more. It works. I'm telling 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:45.720 you it works. You bring a little the Shawn Watson 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.720 DeAndre Hopkins into your classroom. Third and fourth grade boys 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.160 are gonna be all over that. Third fourth grade girls too. 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.120 They love to talk sports, They love to talk about 0:15:54.160 --> 0:16:01.240 anything different. Bring different, Bring something very intelligent, put together 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.840 like Toros Matros, brought to you by Konico Phillips. All right, 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.960 on Sunday afternoon, I'll have the opportunity to be down 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.480 on the sidelines with these next two gentlemen in my ear. 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.600 And that's a good thing. Mark Vannimirs, Voice of the Texans, 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.400 caught up with our good friend and game analyst Andre Ware, 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.200 who's gonna be taking a pretty special trip next weekend 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.240 up to New York City. Take a listen, all right, 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.520 before we talk about Denver, a little final thought here 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.600 on what went down Sunday night when the Texans knocked 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.680 off the Patriots, and even though they didn't clinch anything 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.640 that night. Andrea, what does the win do for this 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.920 team in your opinion moving forward? Well, I think it 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:43.640 gives them confidence. I mean when you have when you 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.000 win a game like that against one of the better 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.680 franchises in the entire NFL, I think it goes a 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.840 long way for your confidence. And so they're they're gonna 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.400 play with a different swagger, a different and a different 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.280 manner in which they take the field from now to 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.240 the end of the speed, even having that big time 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.439 win under their belt, especially with it being on Sunday 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.480 night football. Well, now they have the Denver Broncos here, 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:12.040 and I might weave in some Patriots topics into these questions, 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.119 but you mentioned it, they'll play maybe differently. So what 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.200 does that look like here as you play a team 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.520 that's four and eight coming into the game on Sunday, 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.680 what do you think that's where you're at the highest 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.439 of highs after beating the Patriots and then you can't 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:32.560 really allow yourself to be a little bit overconfident with 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.760 a four and eight team coming into your building. It's 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.480 the four and eight team that's extremely young, A first 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.360 year head coach a rookie quarterback at the helm now 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.679 and Drew Lot, so it's easy to you know, to 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.600 kind of get the feeling that this is when we 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.920 should win, and so on and so forth. That's when 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:51.520 you actually the concentration level of a team really has 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.560 to be at its peak, at its best. So don't 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:58.840 overlook the Broncos coming in here, because obviously they've proven 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.639 the last couple of week that they can play with 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.760 just about anyone. Andre where ruining us Andre. When you're 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.800 playing a rookie quarterback, you often say the veteran quarterbacks 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.400 don't mind being blitzed because they know where it's coming from. 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.960 They know where to put the football quickly. What about 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:15.920 a rookie, do you want to come after him, bring 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.120 some extra heat after him? You do if you can 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.359 hold up on the back end, because he's gonna find 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.960 and that's what he'll be coached up This week is 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.919 when you see certain blitzes and you've got to identify 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.280 where the blitz is coming from, try to protect yourself, 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.080 but then find the matchup that you feel like favors 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.159 you on that particular play, and all you're looking for 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.200 is to hit one of them. And so you can't 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:42.080 allow explosive plays, and I think that'll be one of 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.520 the keys to the game for the Texas defensively is 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:48.520 to not allow explosives over the top that twenty five 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.840 yards or more. And certainly you can't allow big, big 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:56.320 time deep scores in the passing game. Otherwise you give 0:18:56.320 --> 0:19:00.119 a rookie quarterback confidence. And that's why he's in the 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.159 NFL as well. He's got some talent, he's got some 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.240 arm strength. You can't make it easy for him by 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.200 allowing him to just drop back three quick steps and 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.320 let the ball fly and have a completion happen on 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.360 the other end of it. Andrea, without Titus Howard at 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.840 right tackle, do you think the Texans are going to 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.399 settle on Chris Clark or Rod Johnson or continue to 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.200 sort of rotate them as they look for the right 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.199 mix up front? How do you think they handle that 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.520 moving forward? Well, it looks like it's going to be 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.920 a rotation until one guy really steps up and actually 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.320 takes the job. That's how it was last week, That's 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.920 how it was in a prior game when Titus was out. 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.280 So until somebody just steps up and claims the job, 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.560 I think it'll be on a rotational basis, all right, Andrea. 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:46.200 Around the league here, the Tennessee Titans are a big 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.960 problem all of a sudden, and they knocked off the Colts. Indeed, 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:51.679 that was a good win for them. Now they have 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.080 the Raiders out on the West Coast, and the Raiders 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.720 have back to back lopsided losses now one of them 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:58.359 is to the Chiefs. What do you think of the 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:02.080 Titans at Oakland this week? Yeah, I fully expect the 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.920 Titans to go in there and win that football game. 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:09.399 They're playing with some swagger now, they're they're they're feeling 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:12.880 pretty good about themselves. And we both agreed that it 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:16.160 was consistency at the quarterback position that was really missing 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.800 from that roster. Tanny Hills got a few a couple 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.680
