1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Filled in my Tyrod Taylor quotes and sent them to

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: into my column and file a column. And I think this,

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: and they know this. Having a player like Tyrode who

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: played really well for six quarters gives them a better

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: chance to win. Now, do you want them to win

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: four or five, three or four games? Or do you

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: want them to have a high draft choice as possible

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: and make February, March and April is so interesting. Players

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: want to win, coaches want to win, everybody wants to win.

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: And they're playing the Dolphins who are one in seven

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: with seven consecutive losses. And this game's intriguing, not just

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: because Tyrod Taylor's back, but because of all the trade

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: talks between the Dolphins and the Texans that fell a

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: pardoning in because the Shaun Watts did not reach settlements

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: with all of his accusers. So I have not seen

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: the stadium since it's been redone. I've been to the

17
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: stadium a million times there used to go to Orange Well,

18
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: So I'm fired up about it. I love South Florida,

19
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: can't wait to get there, and I think the game

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: is going to be a lot more fun. But I

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: do feel bad for Davis Mills. The teams he started

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: against the thirty and seventeen, and if Tyrode starts the

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: rest of the season, there's only two teams on the

24
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: schedule that have winning records right now. That would be

25
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: the Titans and the Chargers. Can you imagine the Texans

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: being able to play the Titans without Derek Henry, who

27
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: has run over them like a steamroller on asphalt out

28
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: here on sixteen and they're not gonna have to contend

29
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: with him, And then the Chargers seem to be fading fast.

30
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to bring up the last three times General,

31
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: the Texans of face Derek henrybody's gone for over. I'm

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: not gonna bring that up. I'm not gonna bring that up.

33
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: My hope is that Adrian Pearson does it, but that

34
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: week eleven, even after a buye, so we can wait

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: until then. General, in those six quarters that Tyrod did start,

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we do have to go back to September,

37
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: which feels about like three or four years ago. What

38
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: was it about Tyrod that you saw that makes you

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: feel like, Okay, this offense can get it cranked up,

40
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: because in six quarters of play, do the math fifty

41
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: one points in six quarters you're talking about thirty two

42
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: thirty three points a game they would be averaging with

43
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: Tyrode at quarterback. What was it about Tyrod being in

44
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: the lineup that makes such a difference, you think, Well,

45
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: let's point out in his two starts he was thirty

46
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: one to forty four, that's seventy point five percent for

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: four hundred and sixteen yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, one sack.

48
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: He averaged nine point four or five yards per attempt,

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: and he had a rating of one twenty two point

50
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: nine and almost important, he ran five times from fifty

51
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: five yards and a touchdown. So having him in the

52
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: lineup and his mobility which causes problems for the defense,

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: of course, but it also should help the running backs.

54
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: We asked rex Burke had today what it means to

55
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: a running game when you got a quarterback who can

56
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: hurt a defense on the perimeter, and he said, it

57
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: means a lot. You know, they can't jam the middle,

58
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he hope. You know, he's going to

59
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: be like an uncaged lion out there because he's been

60
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: itching to play the last two weeks. I thought he's

61
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna play against the Rams, and I do feel bad

62
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: for Davis Mills the last two starts against two teams

63
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: that are a combined fourteen and two. I'm sure he'd

64
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: love to play against the Dolphins. You have the worst

65
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL and their running game. Their running

66
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: game is thirty and Texans are thirty one. So I

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see a lot of passes being thrown

68
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: by Tyro Taylor and two a TONGABLOA. And you know

69
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: old two is going to be motivated because here it

70
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: comes the team that as the quarterback his team wanted.

71
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: And you know he's gonna want to show owner Stephen Ross,

72
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: general manager Chris Greer, and coach Brian Flores you kept

73
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: the right guy. But that doesn't mean they're not going

74
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: to go after Watson starting March sixteenth, when the new

75
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: league gear begins. So much to go over there, but

76
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: I want to stick with the draft here for a moment.

77
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: General and both of you guys help me out with this.

78
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: Give me a situation in the last ten fifteen years

79
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: where having the number one pick has made a tremendous

80
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: difference for the team that had a terrible record. Of course,

81
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: to get that number one pick, I could think of

82
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: the Colts when they went two and fourteen and twenty eleven,

83
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: they got Andrew Luck and that was a pretty instant

84
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: success story for them as they went back to the

85
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 1: playoffs the following year. I thought they had a pretty

86
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: good team in place though though they were two and fourteen.

87
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: They just did another quarterback position down, among a few

88
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: other things. I could think of the Cardinals three wins

89
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: and then they get Kyler Murray number one overall, general,

90
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: do you have anything else in John too? Well? First

91
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: of all, the Cardinals went from three and thirteen under

92
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes get the number one pick, and they went

93
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: five ten and one first year in eight and eight

94
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: the second year, And so I don't think Nick Sarrio

95
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: is going to reach for a quarterback. I believe right

96
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: now Davis Mills could go into next season as the starter,

97
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: give him another year to prove himself, and then fill

98
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: in the holes around him, because they're going to have

99
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: multiple picks. If they had been able to trade Watson

100
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia and the Eagles were really interested, but he

101
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: exercises no trade. His veto power over his no trade clause.

102
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: Right now, the Eagles had three of the top nine

103
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: picks now I'm not saying they would have traded all

104
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: three this year next year for him, but they would

105
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: have traded at least two. And so anytime you do that,

106
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: you're it's going to take time to turn the team around.

107
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: Cardinals is seven and one, but it's this is the

108
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: third year of their rebuilding plan, so Texans fans are

109
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: going to have to be very, very patient. And I

110
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: wrote a thing I think yesterday looking at the quarterbacks

111
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: who are not highly rated, who were going into the season,

112
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: like Spencer Rattler and Sam Howe, and then five who

113
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: are with Malik Willis of Liberty and Matt Corrall of

114
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: Old Mess I believe they play Saturday. Those are the

115
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: two top rated right now, though that can change. This

116
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: time last year, nobody's talking about Zach Wilson being worth

117
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: the second overall picks. So you know, guys, know how

118
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: these personnel people love them in All Star Games, Senior

119
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: bold practices combine private workouts in Pro day, so their

120
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks could shoot up the chart, and maybe Necssari will

121
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: say I gotta have that guy, but he also might

122
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: say there's nobody dart pick, so we're gonna try down

123
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: or we're gonna take an impact position player mark two

124
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: year point. I think it's been more of the second year,

125
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: and the General had a couple of good examples. They

126
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: were talking about Guyler Murray. The Cardinals went from whatever

127
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: three and thirteen to year two they were eight and eight.

128
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow year two, the Bengals, well, they were the

129
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: number one scene until Mike White got him and the

130
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: Jets got him. Peyton Manning three and thirteen and then

131
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: thirteen and three. It's like the second year you've seen

132
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: other than Andrew Luck. I mean Andrew Lucky, you saw

133
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: that pretty much immediate turnaround. I think that's the really

134
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: the only one you can think of. But I think

135
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: it's year two where you start to see the real

136
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: huge leap, if you will, in overall number one pick,

137
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: overall impact that I can think of. I mean, Baker

138
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,559
Speaker 1: Mayfield was pretty good. You know when they got Baker

139
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: in Cleveland in twenty eighteen to twenty eighteen, I think

140
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: it was yeah, because twenty seven seeing they stuck in

141
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen you think you're seventy nine. I mean

142
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: that was a pretty significant change for Cleveland with the

143
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: number one pick. But for the most part, I think

144
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: it's been your two that you have to look at. John.

145
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: You made it. You made a coment about Davis Mills

146
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: and talking about all these quarterbacks, and I mean, look

147
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in college right now, I don't know there's

148
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: anybody really kind of stands out the quarterbacks that have

149
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: been drapping. Even Joe Burrow back in twenty nineteen, Joe

150
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: Burrow was already making noise. Like way back at the

151
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: end of September, beginning of October, you kind of knew

152
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: if Joe Burrow comes out like he's gonna be worth something.

153
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: You're not seeing that with this group. John, in your estimation,

154
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: could there be or could you see a scenario where

155
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor and Davis Mills both came back in twenty

156
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: twenty two? Yeah, I don't know why. If I'm Tyrod

157
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: Taylor and I was sound a one year contract, why

158
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: they'd have to pay me a lot of money to

159
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: come back. No One they were gonna play Davis Mills

160
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: because they had to see him in his second season.

161
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: You know, this is terrible, But if they're bad long enough,

162
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: they might have a chance to get Roy Jung in Alabama,

163
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,119
Speaker 1: who everybody thinks is the next pick, can't miss prospect,

164
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: but he's a freshman and there'd be two more years

165
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: of being terrible. And another thing we got to point

166
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: out is you don't have to be the first overall pick.

167
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: Third round Seattle, Russell Wilson, they went eleven and five.

168
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,239
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Cowboys went with Dak Prescott

169
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: when he's a fourth round pick as a rookie. I

170
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: can't remember what they did in their second year, but

171
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: it takes a minute I have. I'm working on my

172
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: mailback for to be posted on Texas Sports Nation tomorrow,

173
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: and a guy pointed out how bad John always statistics

174
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: were when he finally got to play as a rookie,

175
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: So he was saying, you can't judge a rookie quarterback

176
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: right now. Davis Mills has been better. He has a

177
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: better rating than everybody but Mac Jones, and he's certainly

178
00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: been better, better than Zach Wilson, who's been terrible, many

179
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: hurt and Trevor Lawrence, even though he's a can't miss

180
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: prospect and should be great unless Jacksonville screws him up,

181
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: and then Justin Fills hadn't let it up, so nobody

182
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: can clearly say that Fills and Wilson and Trey Lance

183
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: is not even playing, are better than Davis Mills. Mills

184
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to play. He got thrust into the lineup.

185
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: People get so frustrated about the Texas not winning, and

186
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: I say, you know what if what we saw Tyrod Taylor. Okay,

187
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: they obliterated the Jaguars, but it was fourteen fourteen in Cleveland,

188
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: and I was there. Cleveland's got a great defense and

189
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: that was a sellout crowd, and it was fourteen fourteen.

190
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: Had Tyrod stayed in the lineup and stayed healthy, would

191
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: they have pull that game out? Could they have beat

192
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: in Carolina? You know, I wouldn't think they would. They

193
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't have getting blown out as bad as the games

194
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: where they've been blown out. Could he have beaten New England?

195
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: Maybe he wouldn't have played better than Mills, who played

196
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: great against the Patriots. But it's amazing when you lose

197
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback, how all of a sudden the coaches

198
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 1: look stupid And when that started quarterback plays, all of

199
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, they looked pretty smart again. Oh my gosh,

200
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: I feel that way when I'm coaching flag football. If

201
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: we don't have our full arsenal available, General Boy, A

202
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: lot of thoughts here. Nick Casserio had a press briefing

203
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: this week and talked about the fact that they didn't

204
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: trade Deshaun Watson. What is your level of surprise that

205
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: a deal did not get done this week? Your thoughts, Well,

206
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: I rode two weeks ago. They were hoping to have

207
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: it done by the end of the week. If not,

208
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: he would go right up to the trade deadline. And

209
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: that's when Stephen Ross decided, Nope, we're not doing this

210
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: deal unless he has these lawsuits settled. And that for

211
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: my understanding. You know, Deshaun had not wanted to settle.

212
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: He thought it was an admission of guilt, and he

213
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: dug in for the longest time. And I think it's

214
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: about last Thursday or Friday when he decided to try,

215
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: and by then it was too late to get all

216
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: twenty two plaintives. And Tony Busby represents the accusers. He

217
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: told Mark Berman at Fox they came down to nondisclosures

218
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: agreements that they would not agree. Some of the women

219
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: would not agree to him because they wanted to tell

220
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: their story. And we had a big story in chronicle

221
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: days Gill with Ashley Silas one of the ones he's

222
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: been at the forefront, going back over everything, talking about

223
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: how unhappy she was at the way the NFL had

224
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: reacted and the way they interviewed her, how the league

225
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: is not followed up with her. So this is not

226
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: going to go away, but it still gives to they're

227
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: not going to trade him on March sixteenth, in the

228
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: new league year begins, it would be somewhere closer to

229
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: the draft. First day of the draft is April twenty eighth,

230
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: And I think ultimately, if say two of talking about

231
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: local plays really well from her own out and the

232
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins go, you know what, we didn't screw up that

233
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: fifth overall peak last year, we're old with two Sean Sorry,

234
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: Then who does he approve Giants have two extra pigs

235
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: that he can walk away from Daniel Charles. I'm pretty

236
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: sure he's not gonna prove the Lions, who also have

237
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: two extra pigs. But you never know, you know who

238
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: it could be. Maybe he changed his mind about the Eagles,

239
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: but it's still gonna be intriguing for another how many

240
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: months is March sixteenth? I'm so happy after this, I'm

241
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: not gonna have to talk about it after ten months

242
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: of talking. Yeah, you're gonna be talking about it. People

243
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: are gonna be a season. It's gonna be the off

244
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: season story again. Where does he go? Who's he gonna approve?

245
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: All that kind of stuff. It's gonna show up again.

246
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to use general the term that Sean

247
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: Parnagas used, although I think it's probably the perfect term,

248
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: because he called the trade deadline a popcorn bleep, and

249
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: his point was we had all this talk about what

250
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: was going to happen at the trade deadline, not even

251
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: just the Deshan thing, but there were gonna be players

252
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: move moved. Odell Beckham was going to move, and the

253
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: Texas at three or four players, they're gonna move. And

254
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: it felt like there were about two trades, one massive

255
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: one we'll talk about a little bit. But were you

256
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: surprised that there really wasn't as much activity on the

257
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: trade deadline or the fact that it really kind of

258
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: followed what it has historical if there weren't that many

259
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: trades at all. I was stunned that the Texans didn't

260
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: make more trades, and it didn't me obviously, they tried

261
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: to trade Vernon R. Grays, they didn't just cut him

262
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: if they could have traded and gotten something for him.

263
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: I wrote a thing today that's in my takeaways on

264
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: the Texas First Nation. All their draft choices for the

265
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: next three years. They have twenty seven and including nine

266
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: in two thousand, twenty two and ten and two thousand

267
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: and twenty three, and you know he'll acquire more and

268
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: use some of those to move up. And so I

269
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: thought that, let's see, Zach Cunningham might be traded because

270
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: they got linebackers, but his contract got in the way.

271
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: I thought Lynne Johnson Junior might have been traded. They

272
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: don't know why he wasn't. And let's see, I even

273
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: thought Jordan Nakins could be traded. I would have called

274
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: Green Bay, which lost its tight end for the year,

275
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: because Jordan's going to be thirty in April. You know

276
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: they're not going to extend him. But that comes into

277
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: the compensatory pick picture. And the problem with compense story picks.

278
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: If you lose free agents, but if you signed more,

279
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get any compensed story picks. Oh, I

280
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: could think. And Justin Reid was another one. Justin's contracts

281
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: up they haven't. There hadn't be any noise about trying

282
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: to sign him to an extension. If he walks, they'll

283
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: get a compensed story pick hopefully for him. So there

284
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: was a lot of moving parts to these deals. I

285
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: just I just thought they might make a couple more.

286
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: Somebody I was on with I can't remember who it was.

287
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: I think it was you guys. You put the over

288
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: under it three Oh John, you did it, Mark and

289
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: I took it, took under But we said, if you've done,

290
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: if you've done two and a half, we would have

291
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: gone over that. Last year they brought it over fifty

292
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: players on the ninety over thirty players end up on

293
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: the fifty three next year. John free agents versus young players,

294
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: so they have more draft choices, maybe more undrafted rookie

295
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: free agents get a shot here and stick. But they're

296
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to do something similar in the free agent

297
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: market unless they want to resign a bunch of these guys. Right,

298
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see how they construct this

299
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: thing in the offseason, and do these guys want to

300
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: come back knowing that they'll still be in the rebuilding process.

301
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: So many guys signed one year deals they'll get younger,

302
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: I think, because next year. I've always thought, if you

303
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: think they have at least one one and a high

304
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: two for Watson in two thousand, in twenty two, they're

305
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of picks. But as I've always

306
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: told people, a roster's like a salad. You don't want

307
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: too much great and they have to have that balance.

308
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: And so I look forward to seeing how Cassario does

309
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: all that. I don't think for a minute he's going

310
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: to spend big on free agency, not at this point.

311
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: Maybe in two twenty three. If they make progress next year,

312
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: I'll go to see him do that. But I don't

313
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: see it. I think I think he'll do it judiciously

314
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: as he's done it this year. General, the one move

315
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: that was made was by the Los Angeles Rams going

316
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: out and getting von Millard. Now we had just seen

317
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: the Rams. We saw it Zarell Lewis, we saw Leonard

318
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: Floyd alongside Aaron Donald. I thought it was fine, if

319
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: they go out and they get von Miller. What was

320
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: your gut reaction to the Rams going out and doing that.

321
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: I'll bet you the Cardinals hated that they've lost JJ

322
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: Watt and here come the Rams adding Von Miller. Now,

323
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: von Miller's not the player he used to be. He's

324
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: been hurt a lot. But you know, Aaron Donald's going

325
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: to get doubled all the time. And the reason Leonard

326
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: Floyd had two side is because he don't get double

327
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: and von millerder he's not going to get double. If

328
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: he does it once in a while, that'll be great

329
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 1: for Floyd. And I thought they just beefed up that

330
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: pass rush in the team, and the fans should be happy.

331
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: The Piper's gonna have to be paid at some point,

332
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: but most of those players will be gone. Fans have

333
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: to be exciting about them being all in. But man,

334
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: oh man, they've traded away so many high draft choices.

335
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: It reminds me of George Allen General. Today, you have

336
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Colts getting together. So tell me

337
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: what you think here, because the Jets are coming off

338
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: that nice win Mike White playing quarterback. The Colts are

339
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: coming off another game where Carson Wentz throws an inexplicable

340
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: interception at short range. What do you think, Well, you

341
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: think it's unusually have a two yard interception return for

342
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: a touching yard. When a guy tries throw a left

343
00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: handed pass, and then he threw one in overtime set

344
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: up the winning field goal by Randy Buck and so Carlson.

345
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: But the one in San Francisco is inexplicable. I know

346
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: they won that game, but the shovel path inexplicable. He

347
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: played really well up to that point, and he hadn't

348
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: thrown but one interception, and he was terrible. And so

349
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: I think that he's gonna bounce back. I mean, he's

350
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: People say he's playing like you played, Greg Doyle. Top

351
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: columnists in Indianapolis said, just set him down. If you

352
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: let him keep playing, you're gonna have to give Philadelphia

353
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: number one pick. If you set him, then you give

354
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: him a two and you keep your one. And it's

355
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: obvious the team needs a one. So they're three and

356
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: five and it'll be beating the Titans in overtime. Maybe

357
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: maybe they would be one game out of first place

358
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: and they're thinking about winning the division. But wouldn't it

359
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: be interesting about the last four games. I think that's

360
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: what they have it figured that if they're yet, if

361
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: they're not gonna make the playoffs, do they do that?

362
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: Do they sit him so they'll have a number one

363
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: pick and you don't see that happen very often, and

364
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: it's too bad they can't set him against the Texans,

365
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: But it would be nice if they'd set him set

366
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: him against the Texans. But boy, that's gonna be an

367
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: interesting one. Chris Ballas got a decision on his hands.

368
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 1: There's no doubt in Tennessee. John, we talked about this

369
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: Monday because the news of Derrick Henry's injury had popped

370
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: up just after we talked to Brandon Cooks. We talked

371
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: about it a little bit, but now there's a little

372
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: bit more clarity. Seemingly he's gonna be out. Dereck Henry

373
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: will eight weeks ish is what they're saying. They got

374
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: to get Adrian Peterson. We've talked a lot, the three

375
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: of us about how much Derrick Henry means to the Titans.

376
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: Now that it's going to come to fruition. How do

377
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: you think that Titans offense response without him, John, I

378
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: think they'll crawl the heck out of the ball. And

379
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: the one thing about a defense, when Derrick Henry's in

380
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: the backfield, especially the Texans defense, and they go to

381
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: play fake, you have to as a take You're not

382
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: going to asitay with Aaron, with Adrian Peterson or the

383
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: McNichols guy or anybody else they have. So it's going

384
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: to be much more pressure on Ryan Tannehill and A. J.

385
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: Brown and Julio Jones. If he can stay healthy and

386
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: play and practice, they'll still have a prolific passing game.

387
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: But you can just ignore the running game. If they

388
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: run the ball good, then you don't have to worry

389
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: about A. J. Brown, another guy that's just killed the Texans.

390
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: All right, general, let's pick another game from this week

391
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: that you may or may not like. But I don't

392
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: really like the matchup anymore without Aaron Rodgers the Packers

393
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: at the Chiefs. But we have to talk. We're contractually

394
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: obligated to talk about Aaron Rodgers since we cover the NFL. Yeah,

395
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He should be suspended. If you're going to

396
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: suspend time brading for four games because the equipment people

397
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: took some are out of the footballs. Rogers has lied,

398
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: the Packers knew it. The Packers have draft choices taken away,

399
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: and Rodgers should be suspended at least four or five games.

400
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: And because we said this about any player not getting vaccinated,

401
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: you can hurt yourself, your team, your fans, and your organization.

402
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: And he has let down everyone, and the Packers knew

403
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: about it. That's what's bad about it. Munized. Yeah, oh yeah,

404
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he was immunized. You right, John, Who's the

405
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: best team in the NFC? Buccaneers, Rams, Cowboys, Cardinals And

406
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: we'll take the Packers out with Naron Rodgers. We don't know, Bucks, Rams, Cowboys, Cardinals.

407
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: Which team is the best in the NFC? Well, the

408
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: Bucks may win a Super Bowl again, but they didn't

409
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: even deserve to be in that groy if they just

410
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: got pounded by the Saints with a backup quarterback? Is

411
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: the Rams of the Cardinals? The Rams of strengthen themselves?

412
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: The Cardinals weaker right now? That team I saw Sunday,

413
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: that's the best team that I've seen in the NFL.

414
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: All right, Chederl, what do you have going out of

415
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: the Houston Chronicle for us right tomorrow about Tyrod Taylor

416
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: and Davis Mills going and the Dolphins and all that?

417
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: And god, we still have a lot of stories wrapping

418
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: up Astro's season. Guys, Thank you very much. I look wait, wait, wait,

419
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: hang up before you go, let me give you my

420
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: career take. Okay, are you ready for this? I'm ready,

421
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: all right. So, if you're gonna make three hundred whatever

422
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: million dollars, right, and if you really want to play here,

423
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: I think I know that you look, the owners are

424
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: richer than you are, whatever. But when you're in the

425
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: three hundred million range, another twenty million is not going

426
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: to make you one ounce happier over the course of

427
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: your life. Now, I've never been in that situation, so

428
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: I can't guarantee that, but that's my assessment. Play where

429
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: you want to play, play with whatever team you want

430
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: to play with. You know it's worth millions to make

431
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: yourself happy. It's a big chunk of your life, maybe

432
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: the most important part the way you're looking at your

433
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: life right now. So if it's here, if it's Detroit,

434
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: play where you want to play, forget the money, not

435
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: forget the money. You're gonna make three hundred whatever wherever

436
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: you go. How do you feel about that? He's not

437
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: gonna make three hundred million in the year. Jim Crane

438
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: has never done anything like that. You know, he was

439
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: hurt three years in a row. Didn't get hurt this year.

440
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: I hope they resigned him. He's worth every penny they

441
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: give him. If they don't, I hope they go after

442
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: Story or Seeger or Simon or even Harvey Bayez, because

443
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: they've got every position solidified except shortstop. But I think

444
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: Brent Strom, they're a great pitching coach, is going to

445
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: Detroit with a j Hene And it wouldn't surprise me

446
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: if Korea went up there, because I saw the Tiger's

447
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: owners say he was ready to unlock the vault, and

448
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: I just don't want to see him with a Yan Yes,

449
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: or the Dodgers or even the Rangers. Can you imagine

450
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: eighteen games against Corea and the Rangers? Not good? Not good?

451
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: All right, General, thanks a lot, we appreciate, Thank you

452

00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: you heard that one more than once, I bet, because

461
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: it just adds up. For example, there are two, not one,

462
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: great reasons to fill up with Chevron with Techron number

463
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: one unbeatable cleaning power and number two, or maybe this

464
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: should be number one unbeatable mileage. Plus Chevron quits Techron

465
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: in every grade every gallant of their gasoline. So that's two, no, way,

466
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: three unbeatable reasons to go with the one and only

467
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: Chevron with Tekron, care for your car, don't miss a

468
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: moment of your Houston Texans three hundred and sixty five

469
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: days a year. Download the Houston Texans Mob Lab. Oh

470
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: I like that promo with Atlantis, Morris Set and the

471
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: irony song Ironic, which is not real irony stuff. We've

472
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: been through this many times every radio show in the

473
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: history of the medium since that album came out. You

474
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: know who she is to me, the female Frampton. One

475
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: unbelievably great album and then not so much. It's it's actually,

476
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's a compliment, but there's

477
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with coming out

478
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: with a classic album that has virtually every song is

479
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: a smash amazing song, except the irony song gets picked

480
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: out a lot. Frampton Comes Alive in the seventies. At

481
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: the time was the biggest selling album of all time,

482
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: and it's since been replaced, of course, several times. But

483
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: it was huge and he made a whole life out

484
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: of it. So there's nothing wrong with that, you know.

485
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: It's like one hit wonder. Johnny. All right, now, let's

486
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: let's transition into coaches, because we're gonna play who's better here,

487
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: But a tip of the cap since the Texans are

488
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: playing the Dolphins to Don shool Up, who is the

489
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: winning his coach in the history of this league? More

490
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: wins to Bill Belichick. In fact, Johnny Belichick has to

491
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: go another four or five years in all likelihood. Do

492
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: you think he does that? Yeah? Because what I don't

493
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: want to I don't want this to sound morose, but

494
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: I think you know, if when you've been in the

495
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: game forever, it's all you've ever known, how do you

496
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: how do you get out? How do you get out?

497
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: How do you well, you probably have thought about it.

498
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: You know, I'll retire, I'll do this, I'll do that.

499
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you love the game and you

500
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: can still succeed in the game, stay, if you get

501
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: to a point where you are you're you're a detriment

502
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, then then walk away. But I think

503
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: Belichick is still I mean, just watching his team's play,

504
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: how they go about doing things. I thought so much

505
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: about the end of that game against the Patriots so much.

506
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: And yeah, our game with the with the Patriots beat five,

507
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: I've thought about that game, and I just at the

508
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: end of that game, I just feel like Belichick pressed

509
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: all the right game buttons he pulled. He you know,

510
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: the the second and one quarterback sneak with just around

511
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: two minutes was brilliant because he didn't want to score there,

512
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: because he knew if he just wanted to get a

513
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: first down, he knew a quarterback sneak would get the

514
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: first down. But then they could run more plays and

515
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: at that point run more time off the clock. It was,

516
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: it was, you know, brilliant. Yes, he's a brilliant um

517
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: strategic coach. Still keep keep coaching, coach. I mean, if

518
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: he can't mean nothing, you would be kind of me,

519
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: he said, John, what do you think. I'm like, Look, coach,

520
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: you can go to Cape Cod and go hang on

521
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: your boat. You can play golf. You'll be bored. U

522
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: by February. You'll want to know when the combine is.

523
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: You'll want to go to a Prota workout. You'll want

524
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: to go work out a guy at at the Citadel.

525
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: You want to go back and do the things that

526
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: he's always done. It's always struck me. Yes, Bill Belichick

527
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: gets up to put him and he doesn't love being

528
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: with the media, but there's no question he loves the game.

529
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: So you know what, stick around, ye stay around the game,

530
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: do it. It's awesome. We could We could have talked

531
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: to Nick for like fifteen minutes about Shula alone this

532
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: week probably, I mean, and they're both John Carol alums. Right, well,

533
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: that's right. You uh, when you were in Miami, did

534
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: you I'm sure you talked to Schula before, right, Yeah,

535
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: I met him, and I gotta tell you he he

536
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: was already done of that at that point, of course,

537
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: but he was so great to me, and he said, yep,

538
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: I've heard you, you sound great. Listened to the games,

539
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, like he's just right there. You know, because

540
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: the flagship of the Hurricane was the same as the

541
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins WQAM, and so I went to a lot of

542
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: events and I met him, you know, I meant a

543
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: lot of those seventy two guys. Jim Mandich, who played

544
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: tight end on that team, worked at the station. Joe Rose,

545
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: we had him on last night. You know, he played

546
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: for Shula. I asked him what it was like to

547
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: play for Shula, So you know, it's just great to

548
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: acknowledge that. And you talk about guys like Belichick and

549
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: certain people might stay in it forever. Jimmy Johnson walked

550
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: away and he was okay with it, and he could

551
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: have gotten another job in about ten minutes had he

552
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 1: really wanted to, right, But he's fine fishing and the

553
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: keys and living his life that way. And I gotta

554
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: give him credit. He put together a tremendous defense. He

555
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: was a good personnel man. They never could replace Marino.

556
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: They were a playoff team when he coached and when

557
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: Wanstent replaced him for the next couple of years, and

558
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: then they went down because the personnel he Jimmy wasn't

559
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: there anymore. And personnel goes down and then they're in

560
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: this abyss where they've only made the playoffs twice since

561
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. Think about that, only two playoff

562
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: appearances and no wins since two In fact, the game

563
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: I called on national radio and oh one, it was

564
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: them in the Ravens in Miami. They lost that one.

565
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: They have it one since It's only two playoff appearances

566
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: since then, so it's been a big dry spell in

567
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: South Florida. Okay, let's play who's better? Johnny coaches, current

568
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: ones and new guys in their jobs. Who's better Arthur Smith?

569
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: Right now? Aren't there Smith? Better job? Like better jobs

570
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: so far? Or Rob Salom Now Rob is two and

571
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: five rookie quarterback, right and Rob's two wins are pretty nice.

572
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: Five losses not so nice. Arthur Smith three and four,

573
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: little shaky Matt Ryan boy, but Ryan's starting to make

574
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: some throws that make you go, so what do you

575
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: think here? I think, well, Arthur Smith has won three

576
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: times the Falcons. I think they've both done a really

577
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: nice job. I mean, in fact, the Falcons started oh

578
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: and three and then they get on a board, they

579
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: get a w against the Giants. I think that was

580
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: the first one where they win. Young Wake who hits

581
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: the game winner, and you're like, oh, you know, okay,

582
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: they gotta win great. But then they kept playing better football,

583
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: and I gave him credit for that. But I think Salo,

584
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: but I mean there's something about Salo. I just I

585
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: like both of them. Actually, I heard both of them

586
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: on that on the podcast We Like to Fly in

587
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: Coach podcast, and I loved listening to both of them.

588
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't really hear much from Arthur Smith,

589
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: even when he was off as a cordiner in Tennessee.

590
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: You know, but here's a guy who's the son of

591
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: the owner of FedEx, the creator of FedEx, and you

592
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: never ever knew that about him. I mean you never,

593
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: You never send said because he's just he's a ball coach.

594
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: That's what he always struck me as the ball coach.

595
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: When I heard that about him being the son of Fedo,

596
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: was like, what, really, the guy worked up from being

597
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: a quality control coach to tight ends to quarterbacks maybe,

598
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: and then then he was the OC and did a

599
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: great job. But my gut tells me Robert Salo. The

600
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: win over the Bengals, to me was the one that

601
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: got me because that team was number there was the

602
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: number one seed in the league. He doesn't have his

603
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: rookie Zech Wilson, and the backup Mike throws four or

604
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: four hundred yards, and it was just I watched the

605
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: locker room speech afterwards, and you just got a sense

606
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: that I think he was two and five, But man,

607
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: they enjoyed the heck out of that win. They enjoyed

608
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: the heck out of each other. You just it was

609
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: a vibe that you got. I got as I was

610
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: watching that Jets team in the locker room. So break

611
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: that win. I thought it was pretty cool. I'm going solo,

612
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: but just by a hair. Okay, who's better? Better team

613
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: the Rams or anyone else the Texans have played so far?

614
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: Anybody else the Texas have played, Arizona, Buffalo, pick a

615
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: team or the Rams. I think the Rams ploy Buffalo

616
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: is the one that gets me. I don't know. There's

617
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: something about the Cardinals game that I wasn't I mean, look,

618
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: don't gonna be wrong. I was impressed with the Cardinals.

619
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: The Cardinals, I mean, defensively or as athletic as all

620
00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: get out, But I don't think the offensive line for

621
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals is very good, and I think it's going

622
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: to come back to haunt them. I don't think the

623
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: offensive line is great for the Bills, but it's better

624
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: than the Cardinals. I think the Rams offensive line when

625
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: everybody's healthy. When you throw Whitworth back in there, I mean,

626
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: we see Whitworth. But when you throw Whitworth combined with

627
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: Stafford's ability to get the ball out, combined with mcvay's

628
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: play calling, I think the Rams are the toughest nut

629
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: to crack. And I don't know that the Bills can

630
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: run the ball like the Rams can. And defensively, I

631
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: think the Bills are the better unit, but the Rams

632
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: are so close. I think the Rams offense puts over

633
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: the top. So I would say Rams one, Bills two,

634
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: and then I'd go down a notch and a half

635
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: before I get to the Cardinals. Bills number one in

636
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: the league in defense and points and yards. Amazing? All right,

637
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: who's better? Adrian Peterson back in the league now? No

638
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: longer is mark Ingram the leading active rusher in the NFL. Oh, yes,

639
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: Adrian's back here. So Peterson is fifth all time. And

640
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 1: let's see how many yards. He's about four hundred yards

641
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: behind Barry Sanders. It's gonna be tough, but you never

642
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: know anyway, who's better Adrian Peterson? For this situation, you

643
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: can bring anybody out of their prime to play for

644
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: the Titans. You're the Titans. You can even get Adrian

645
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: in his prime, because he's certainly not that anymore. But

646
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: you get Adrian in his prime or any of the

647
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: guys in front of him for the Titans and what

648
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: they do, Johnny Barry Sanders, Frank Gore, Walter Payton, Emmett Smith.

649
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: You're taking any one of those four over Peterson because

650
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: I think Peterson in his prime fits what they do. Yes,

651
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: really well, No, you can convince me you said, you

652
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: said it exactly right for what the Titans do. I

653
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 1: absolutely think that Adrian Peterson's the right guy. Jim Brown

654
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: would be right there. I don't know if you said

655
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: Jim Brown. I don't know if you said him. He's

656
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: not in front of him on the list because he's

657
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: a level enth all time in rushing yards. But yeah,

658
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: if you can get Jim Brown taken, yeah yeah, yeah,

659
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, I just couldn't remember. I couldn't remember who

660
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: all was on the list, So that's why I said that.

661
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: The other one I would say is Peyton, Walter Payton.

662
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: I think Walter Payton. You know, I was watching the

663
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: actually not what you're watching. I was just listening. I

664
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: was driving and I was listening to the eighty five

665
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 1: Bears thirty for thirty, and that was a team full

666
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: of just Ba's man, a bunch of bad dudes, and

667
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: every single one of them. When they talked about Walter Payton,

668
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: the reverence they showed for him was unbelievable, and that

669
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: just makes me think that that dude was as tough

670
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: as anybody that's ever played this game. However, Adrian is

671
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty pounds and ran a four to four.

672
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: They can hand it that guy, and he would pound

673
00:36:55,239 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: on defenses incessantly. I think Adrian Peterson is the Adrian

674
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: Peterson's prime would be the absolute perfect fit. There would

675
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: be a slight drop off from Derrick Henry to Adrian Peterson. Okay,

676
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: who's better? This is a what's better? Better throwback uniforms?

677
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay or the Patriots or pick one. What's better

678
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: better throwback uniform? Tampa Bay? The Patriots with Pat Patriot

679
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: on the helmet, Tampa Bay with the popsicle creamsacle. Look

680
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: whatever it's called the orange cacle or somebody else. This

681
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: is the easiest one. You've ever asked me. Easiest It's

682
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 1: the creamsicles, no doubt, all day every day. I wish

683
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: they would bring them back. They are the most glorious

684
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 1: throwback uniform of all time. And it's not it's not close. Well,

685
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: it used to be the Chargers, Johnny. But the Chargers, Yeah, true,

686
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: the chart, the sixty three Chargers, those are those Those

687
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: are my favorite uniforms. But Bucko Bruce, bring up, man,

688
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 1: can you imagine them winning the Super Bowl with those unis?

689
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, let's that that one. That's one of my

690
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: favorite uniforms to bring back of all time. So buco Bruce. Now,

691
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: I like the old school Patriot ones when the Patriots

692
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,959
Speaker 1: brought back in on nine and beat the Titans fifty

693
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: nine and nothing. Oh that was awesome. That was awesome

694
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: in any shot. I can take it the Titans for

695
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: being lousy. I'll take it. We're wearing an oiler uniform, right,

696
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: an AFL oiler uniform that night app serves him right? Sorry?

697
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: Dogs that said pat Patriot and that uniform very nice

698
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 1: like it? Yep, Bucko Bruce all day, every day. Okay,

719
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 1: to look. It's been a hockey road and the road

720
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: is just getting started. Really. He was drafted last year,

721
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: did not play the whole season fits. He helped them

722
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: a lot. They won ten games. He had a winning

723
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: record as a starter last year. TA did this year

724
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: not so much. They're one and seven. He got hurt.

725
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 1: He's been a bit better since the injury. They're gonna

726
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: freak out if they lose this game in South Florida

727
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: based on what I'm hearing there, and you know, I've

728
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: been listening to South Florida, Florida sports talk radio this

729
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: week a little bit. You know what they called Tyrod

730
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: Taylor the dolphin killer when he was whipped up Bills,

731
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: the success he had against He's a dolphin killer. I

732
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: love it. Let's go, they're sweating out Tyrod Taylor. Let's rock.

733
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: I love it. I absolutely the dolphin killer. I know

734
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna ask you about my key, and that actually

735
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: would be it's and it's not so much Tyrod. But

736
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, if the Dolphins are gonna get pressure, the

737
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins the biggest largest sack number is Emanuel Ogbo at

738
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: two and a half. I mean John Gerdards seven. They

739
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: don't get to the quarterback at all. I mean, Brady

740
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: picked them apart. They just rushed for Brady just picked

741
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: them apart. So the Dolphins will bring the kitchen sink blitz.

742
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: They're bringing everybody, and they'll play Blitz zero. It's blitz zero.

743
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: They'll play zero coverage, no help in the middle of

744
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: the field. It's a man and man and they're hoping

745
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: and they want and they will design it such that

746
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: one guy comes clean and if that guy doesn't get

747
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: to the quarterback fast enough, Tyrod's gonna have an opportunity

748
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: to beat them. But if that guy gets there, then

749
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be sack city. So the Texans have to

750
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: know how to handle blid zero and be effective because

751
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: they can pick up some explosives from it and hopefully

752
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: has something they're able to do. But they're bringing everybody.

753
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: When they show everybody, they bring everybody and it's just

754
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 1: zero behind it Byron Jones and Zaving Howard, just playing

755
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: man and you got to find the right matchup and

756
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: hopefully a guy gets opened very quickly. Are you with

757
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: me on this one? With the announcement of Taylor getting

758
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: the start being back, I just feel a buzz in

759
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: the building. And this is nothing against Mills. I think

760
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: Mills has talented. I think Mills does need to play.

761
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: You do need to see Mills. But this team needs

762
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: a lift right now, whoever it might be, and it

763
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: happens to be Taylor, who Look, we kind of fell

764
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: in love with him in the offseason. We knew he

765
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: wasn't a Hall of Famer, but he was signed to

766
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: be the elder statesman here, solid playmaker, has the respect

767
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: of the locker room. Now he's back in the lineup

768
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: and I'm here for it. Man, I'm excited about this

769
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: one on Sunday. I'm just trying to take this one

770
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: game unto itself, a bowl game in South Florida on Sunday.

771
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: Let's see how they can do. I'm with you. It

772
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: just I think there's a there's a level of calm.

773
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Davis is pretty calm, dude. I mean

774
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: I think Davis has learned a lot from Tyrod. I

775
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: think Davis. I think there's gonna be a time where

776
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: Davis does get back on the field this year, and

777
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a situation of, you know, what does

778
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: he learned? What did he learn to step back? Now

779
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: that he got some playing time and he stepped back.

780
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: You know, John brought up a great point about you

781
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: know what Davis had to face and what Tyrod is

782
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: facing in the fact that he faced the Jackson Browns,

783
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins versus you know, five or six of the

784
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: best defenses in the league that Davis had to face.

785
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: That said, Davis showed a lot for a rookie, and

786
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: I think there will come a time where they're gonna

787
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: go back to him. But I think with Tyrode, you

788
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: just feel comfortable. I think everybody feels comfortable. Everybody up

789
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: front knows, Okay, look I have this block, I hold

790
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: it for this long. Tyrode's gonna make something happen, and

791
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: everybody feels confident in that. So I'm excited to see

792
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: what he does. You know, we saw some great things

793
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: in those six quarters. I mean, fifty one points over

794
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: six quarters, I mean that's a that's a that's a

795
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: pretty good number. You're averaging about thirty three points per game.

796
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: You put up thirty three, you got an opportunity to

797
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: win that game on Sunday for sure. All right, let

798
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: me know this. Are they gonna run the football better

799
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday? Is this gonna happen? Are we finally gonna

800
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: see a return of the running game. Maybe not exactly

801
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: what they got against Jackson Bille, but something more like

802
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: that rather than a lot of the games we've been seeing. Well,

803
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: we talked many many times with Bill O'Brien, and how

804
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: often would he tell us, Hey, you know, look, Sean's

805
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna get forty. He's gonna get forty of our total.

806
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: So if you take your total, and I think it's

807
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: the same with Tyrode, you had thirty five to forty

808
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: of the total. So I'd like to think they could

809
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: get to you know, the Backs could get to seventy

810
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: five eighty. That gets you to one hundred and twenty

811
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,479
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five. I mean, I think you gotta

812
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,439
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about that. But look, you better blocking

813
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: number ninety four. Christy Wilkins is as good as it

814
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: gets in this league. And if the guys on the

815
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: interior aren't getting any movement on him, he'll eat things alive.

816
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: He'll completely eat it alive. So they've got to make

817
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: sure they occupy number ninety four. I think he's a

818
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: massive key on the Dolphins defense and they gotta occupy him.

819
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: And if they can do that, I think they'll be

820
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 1: able to run the ball. But you know, as well

821
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: as I do, Mark there with the Tyrod in particular,

822
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 1: and I'm not just talking about Tyrod running it. They're

823
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: just different ways you can run the ball. As I

824
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: put my air quotes up, there are different ways to

825
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: run the ball when you have a guy like Tyrod.

826
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: Different things you can do, push passes, jet sweeps, just

827
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: different things you can do. Options, things you may not

828
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: do with Davis that you could do with Tyrod can

829
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: help open some things up. And honestly, sometimes running an

830
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: option play you don't where you don't have to block

831
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: somebody that it's a great way to do it. So

832
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what they do on Sunday and

833
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: looking forward to it me too. Do they get to

834
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: to ah, Yeah, absolutely. You know. Look, this is aligne

835
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: with a rookie and left tackle, with two second year

836
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: guys at left guard and right guard. The center is

837
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,479
Speaker 1: either Austin Ryder, who's kind of a castle from Kansas

838
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: City or Greg Mann, somebody that this group has all

839
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 1: seen before. And the other alignment is Jesse Davis at

840
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: a right tackle, and he's probably the best guy they got.

841
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: The other four guys are I don't want to say questionable,

842
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: but they really haven't gotten to that level of play,

843
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: so I think they absolutely will get to two and

844
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: no doubt. Wow, it's gonna be interesting to see what

845
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: happens with both these teams. But the Texan they're at

846
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: the beginning of something and the Dolphins are in a

847
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: time in this Florist administration with career as the GM

848
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: where they can't afford to be playing like this, and

849
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: they are and it's a rough go. All right, that's

850
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna do it for the show tonight, Johnny, I know

851
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: you got tomorrow. It's a big show. It's gonna be fun.

852
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: We'll have coach Calli on. Get ready for the big

853
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: football weekend and cherish these football weekends. Look, I know

854
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: it's not a good record right now for the Texans,

855
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: but man, in the offseason, I'm just dying for some football.

856
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: So enjoy all the games and especially Sunday at noon

857
