1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Welcome into Texans All Access on a Tuesday. It's Week thirteen.

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Texans back at home against oh, the Cleveland Browns. I'm

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: at dpcito along with Mark Vandermer. We're gonna hold it down.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: And it's so funny Mark, Mark's la the last few weeks,

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: I've been promoting ticket sales for the next home game. Yeah,

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: and it's so funny. It's like Deshaun Watson and the

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: and the Browns. You might want to see it Houston

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: Texans dot com slash tickets. He was reinstated yes yesterday,

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: so it is happening. It's actually happening. Yeah, it's happening.

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: And Kevin Stefanski was asked yesterday during his press conference,

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: did you consider not playing him because it's Houston? And

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: it was just a one word answer, no, Right. I mean,

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: this is perfectly set up for Deshaun Watson is back,

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: is it though? Because he's coming back from a two

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: year layoff, right, and it's live NFL Bullets, so to speak,

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: for the first time since he played Tennessee to cap

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season. I mean, this feels like one

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: hundred years ago me and that's the last time he

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: saw real game action. Preseason is one thing, this is another.

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: And you're in this building where he will be booed mercilessly.

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: Do you agree? Yeah, it's I think so unless there's

22
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: Browns fans that are there to cheer them on. There

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: will be some Browns fans. There will be some Browns fans,

24
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: but I think you know. I was listening to Payne

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: and Penner guests this morning. They had Ross Tucker on

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: promoting his podcast and they were asking him about this matchup,

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: but he wanted to ask of them what people in

28
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: Houston thought about Deshaun Watson returning. And I was listening

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: with interest because I think it's just such a complicated

30
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: feeling that everyone has about him that I wanted to

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: know how you would verbalize. And I thought they did

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: a really good job of saying that the saga dragged

33
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: on so long, it took forever that people are just

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: exhausted by it. And I think that with the way

35
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: the season's gone so far, with the Texans, you know, losing,

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: like that's kind of the main focal point right now,

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: it's actually taken a lot of the attention all the

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: fact that it's Deshaun Watson It's not like the Texans

39
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: are playing for a playoff spot or you know, this

40
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: game is gonna make or break their season. Unfortunately, that's

41
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: just not where this team is right now heading into

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: Week thirteen. So I think that's overshadowed a lot of

43
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson stuff. But I think the feeling is

44
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: just exhausted. I think the entire the fact that you know,

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: I went back and I count, you know, used those

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: calculator counters, like between January third, twenty twenty one to

47
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: December fourth, twenty twenty two. Right, how many days has

48
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: it been. It's exactly seven hundred days since Deshaun Watson

49
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: last played in a regular season game, and it was here.

50
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,279
Speaker 1: It was against the Titans. It was the regular season finale,

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: and like, no one thought that this is where we

52
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: would be. No one thought it's going to be two

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: years before he sees the field again, and it will

54
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: be in this stadium, the same stadium, the same And

55
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: it's funny because I'm going to interview Nathan's a europe

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: for Enemy Sidelines, and I'm going to ask him about

57
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, and yet we were actually the ones that

58
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: covered his last game, right, like we've seen way more

59
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson football than they have with him under center.

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: So you know, it's like you almost just want this

61
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: week to be over with because I don't like that

62
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: the spotlight is on the fact that he's returning after

63
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: everything that transpired here in this organization. It was good

64
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: when it was good, yea, but when it was bad,

65
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: it was bad, right. And I'm saying that as someone

66
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: that's covered him from like day one through his Pro Bowls,

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: but also just seeing just what's happened to this team,

68
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, after last year and in the holdout, and

69
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, just going through the draft. I think the

70
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: day that he was finally traded was a sigh of

71
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: relief for a lot of people here. Absolutely, it seems

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: too soon, and it seemed like it took forever because

73
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: it did because we thought it could happen in training

74
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: camp twenty twenty one, then maybe by the trade deadline

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, No, and then finally in the off season.

76
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: And I credit Nick Kisserio for holding out waiting, and

77
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't you know, there are various things involved in

78
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: the amount of time it did take, because legalities had

79
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: to be I don't want to use the words settled,

80
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: but they had to be sort of played out right

81
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: that there was going to be no criminal investigation any longer,

82
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: that there will be no criminal charges, no indictment, and

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: that really helped things along. There was sort of this

84
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: release of Okay, it's time to make the trade, right,

85
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: and that's when all the suitors came along and made

86
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: the trade. And then it just got hot and heavy

87
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: again with the civil suits. Right, and the article came

88
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: out that it was sixty six different therapists that he visited, right,

89
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: that was after he was trading that. Actually, then I

90
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: was reading it was like like a my standard, like,

91
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: oh what is this now? I'm not accusations from sixty

92
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: six but at least that therapists they knew about, right,

93
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: which is amazing to me. But anyway, look, there's a

94
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: lot to it, as we all know. And you said

95
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: it very well. When it was good, it was good,

96
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 1: you know, it was really good. You want a playoff

97
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: game in twenty nineteen, You went to the playoffs in

98
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, you had a nine game winning streak. He

99
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: was part of all that here. Even the losses were fun.

100
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: Sometimes we saw him growing week to week. But still

101
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, when you go back and you look at

102
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: the numbers he had and the fact that the team

103
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: only won four games, it still was a mind boggling.

104
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: It was. Look, there were times. There were a few

105
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: games that year and when you revisit some of them,

106
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: and I've looked through some of them, you see that,

107
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: all right. They had a couple of fumbles late against

108
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: the Colts, you know, their point blank range, they cough

109
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: it up with chances to take the lead or tie.

110
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: You look at the Titans game here, the last game

111
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: he played here, you left the field with was it

112
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: a lead or a tie? But anyway, the Titans drove

113
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: down the field to kick that field goal, to hit

114
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: the upright and the crossbar and went in out. That

115
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 1: hurt a lot. There were some other moments as well

116
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: where he had a lot of a lot of numbers,

117
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: but they got slow starts and defensively they weren't on

118
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: their game. And it wasn't like he played great all

119
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: the time that year, even though he led the league

120
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: in passing. But obviously the Browns did enough homework for

121
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: their case and they have them deep. I think the

122
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: weird thing or one of the weird things would have

123
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: been had he not made the request, had he still

124
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: been a Texan. When the accusations come out, how are

125
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: we feeling here and outside the building in the Houston

126
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: market about this quarterback and everything he's being accused of.

127
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: And everybody had an opinion anyway, but the opinions would

128
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: have been that much stronger if he was still a

129
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: Houston Texan. I know he stayed in the building for

130
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: another year, but we all know he wasn't going to

131
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: be here, right, But if you wanted him to be here,

132
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: and he wanted to be here, and you had to

133
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: go through all of that as an organization and a

134
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: fan base and everything that would result from that man,

135
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: that would have been wild. And it would have been weird. Yeah,

136
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: to read all the accusations and then know that he's

137
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: going to come back. I think it's weird. In Cleveland.

138
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: I think that they were really mixed about it when

139
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: the because you know, the trade, it was such a weird.

140
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: Even the way the trade went down was so weird.

141
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: It was during spring break and I was in a

142
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: car driving with my family to Florida, and I'm like,

143
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: I know, we've waited for so long happen right now.

144
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: So I made us listen the entire way there, and

145
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: the kids were like, Mom, he's not being traded. I'm like,

146
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: but it's going to happen any minute, any minute. And

147
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: of course, as soon as we got of the car,

148
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: like the next day, it happened. But you know, I

149
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: thought it's gonna be Atlanta. What was Atlanta? Carolina was

150
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: out of it, New Orleans, yeah, and then Cleveland was

151
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: out of it. Yeah. And then you thought it was

152
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: going to come down to Atlanta, Carolina, New Orleans maybe maybe,

153
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: but whatever the case is, it ended up being Cleveland

154
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: for Cleveland. Dark Horse came out of it, and it's

155
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: he gets traded to Cleveland. And then everyone in Cleveland

156
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: is now reading about all these reports. Yeah, they might

157
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: not have deep dived into it, not the way we had. Yeah,

158
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: so they start diving into it, and a lot of

159
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: people are appalled and Cleveland that they made the deal.

160
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: Because everybody's got an opinion, right, And I'm still wondering

161
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: how certain individuals in the locker room in Cleveland feel

162
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: about it. I don't know, but I think about these things.

163
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: How do those guys feel about it? Not everybody? Some

164
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: feel a certain way. Does that affect things on the field?

165
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, all the reviews that you

166
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: hear about are good out of that building, but who

167
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: knows how people really feel and we're all eager to

168
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: see what the results are. And the Texans obviously can

169
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: affect the situation because they're across the line of scrimmage

170
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: from him. But the domino effect that came out of that,

171
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: when you say, like, how did the locker room feel?

172
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield obviously look no longer with the Browns. Matt Ryan.

173
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan got himself out of the Atlanta because he

174
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: was so unhappy that they came so close to trading

175
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: for him, they didn't even get him and they had

176
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: to trade their quarterback away? Like how crazy is That

177
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: affected a lot of things. It affected so many dominoes

178
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks who were like, I cannot believe that you're

179
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: gonna make this sort of a push for a guy

180
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: that's got all these allegations when I am here in

181
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: the building, what would happen to Carolina had he agreed

182
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: to go there? Matt Rule coaching the team. They're not

183
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: doing so well? Hey, the Browns aren't doing so well? Right? Now, Okay,

184
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: they're three and seven, it's four and seven, four and seven.

185
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: Let's say Carolina's four and seven right now, and he's

186
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: being reinstated, not against the Houston Texans, but he's being reinstated.

187
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: Is Matt Rule still there knowing that you've the way, Yeah,

188
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't. Definitely, I definitely probably still there. Well, hey,

189
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: the coach had a rough go of it. We're waiting

190
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: for waiting for the quarterback now, Stefanski, I'm not putting

191
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: that on him. He had a good year two years ago.

192
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: They won a playoff game for the first time and

193
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: forever for the Cleveland Browns since they re entered Cleveland

194
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: as an expansion team in nineteen ninety nine. That was

195
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: their first playoff win. So last year he was on

196
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: the hot seat. I think so, And look maybe maybe

197
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: he still should be. You know, they enter this season

198
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: now they have Jacoby bris said, what would the Browns

199
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: plan be had they not gotten Watson? If he said no,

200
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't want it, I'm gonna go elsewhere, what would

201
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: they do a quarterback? Would they have out? They would

202
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: want Baker anyway? At that point, Look, you flirted heavily

203
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: with you know, you wanted him. Now, it was like

204
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: it would be it would have been a Matt Ryan

205
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: kind of deal, but they ultimately traded Baker Mayfield. Maybe

206
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have traded him. I don't know. Maybe it

207
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: would maybe they would have gotten more for Baker Mayfield

208
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: because the leverage was in favor of the trade partner,

209
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: because hey, you guys got to Sewan. You have to

210
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: trade Baker Mayfield. So yeah, and you know, you know

211
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: that Baker wants out of there, so you don't really

212
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: have to give him a whole lot and get there.

213
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: They were clear that they didn't want him, and it

214
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: looks like they were right about that. But we'll see

215
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: if they're right about this. You know, their whole thing

216
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: is we're gonna have them forever. It's not just about

217
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: this year. How do you even set that sat out

218
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: the whole season. They were the fans media there, they

219
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: were saying, look, it's worth it for a franchise quarterback

220
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: for the next day if he gets hurts a lot

221
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: of guaranteed money. I mean, you look at the Rams

222
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: right now. The Rams have won what three games right now? Yeah? Okay,

223
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: so the Rams they've given up oldest draft capital Matthew

224
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Stafford's hurt, Like, what are they going to do? Oh there?

225
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: What are they? Are in deep trouble? What are the

226
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: Cardinals going to do because the f them picks? Right? Yeah? Now,

227
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: all right, you don't have picks. You want a Super Bowl?

228
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: That's great, which is great that you have an aging Stafford. Okay,

229
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: you have an aging Stafford. Aaron Donald's hurt right now.

230
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: This year's appears to be over for them as far

231
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: as playoff possibilities, and I don't know where they go

232
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: from here. Is Stafford back next year? I would assume so.

233
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: But that was a big deal that they made with

234
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: Detroit because they had to give Detroit what they gave

235
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: them draft capital wise, because Detroit was taken the Jared

236
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: Goff contract. Yeah, well, look at Detroit. They're doing better

237
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: than the Rams right now, and they've got the number

238
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: three overall pick right now, right now if the season.

239
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: If the season ends, the draft order is Texans Bears

240
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: and then Detroit via the Rams pick. Where you where

241
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: you getting this from? By the way, do you go

242
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: to tankathon dot com? By the Twitter Twitter is always

243
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: posting draft orders after everything. I love tankathon dot Com.

244
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: It's like in real time. It's posting the draft order

245
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: Texans number one, Chicago two, and you're right, the Rams,

246
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: but it goes to Detroit number three. So about number

247
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: four Seahawks via Denver. Oh boy, that's that's something I

248
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: think all these teams that made big deals for quarterbacks

249
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: in the off season, it's just worked out horribly well.

250
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: It's risky. And I heard Payton Pendergast talking about this

251
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: as well. You know, you look at it with Denver.

252
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: Doesn't work with the Colts and Matt Ryan doesn't work.

253
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Didn't work with Carson Wentz the way they wanted it

254
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: to last year, although they went nine and eight, didn't

255
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: they That seems like a super Bowl season compared to

256
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: what they're going through right now. It does, although they lost.

257
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: All they had to do is win in Jacksonville. It did.

258
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: It did work with Stafford, but for one year and

259
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: that's all we got right now. You're not ready to

260
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: put dirt on that yet, but we'll see again next year.

261
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: They'll have to bring him back and see how it goes.

262
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: But you know, at the very least they'll have in

263
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,359
Speaker 1: sure ins that they like at the quarterback position. Everybody's

264
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: going to have a backup they like. And by the way,

265
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland is picking tenth, meaning Houston gets Cleveland's pick and

266
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: it's number ten. As we stand a few weeks, well,

267
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: the Brown's winning against the Buccaneers really hurt, really dropped them.

268
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: But the Texans. Again, if the Texans pull went out

269
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday, you not only well you don't I hate

270
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: to use this terminology, but you're not going to jeopardize

271
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: the number one pick. I don't want to say it

272
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: like that deep, but you can't. You can't because you're

273
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: now you you I think with the Colts losing last night,

274
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: and um, you know all these teams that were like

275
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: to win teams, three win teams, they're like, it's like

276
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: there's there's you've got a couple of games. But here's

277
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: the thing, can still win a few games and I

278
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: think you're still gonna get the numb Yeah. But but

279
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing. If if people are rooting for the

280
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: number one pick, and this is something I never root

281
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: for the team to lose. I will never ever ever

282
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: root for the Texans goes against I think every grade

283
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: in your body. When you're covering a team and you're

284
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: watching them, you're still even at the and even at

285
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: the end against Miami, like I was just like, I'm like,

286
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: why am I? Why am I rooting now for them

287
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: to make it a one score game? Like oh yeah,

288
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: they cannot talk yourself out of it. No, you want

289
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: things to be better, that's all it is. Because it's

290
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: I think for the players and the coaches just because

291
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: we're around them every single day and it's competition. You

292
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: just want to have a win to talk about. Look,

293
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: you'd love to have that choice of the number one pick,

294
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: but you don't want to strive for that. If it

295
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: falls that way, it falls that way. You deal with it.

296
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: But look, there are what three three win teams right

297
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: now with Chicago, the Rams, and Denver. Now you have

298
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: the tie. So if you get to three wins, that

299
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: changes things because you'll actually have a better winning percentage

300
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: than a team that has three wins and note ties,

301
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: right that's three and fourteen, you'll be three thirteen and one.

302
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: We don't have to talk about that right now. I

303
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: don't you know, actually into it. It is at the

304
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: end of the season, and I think that's that might

305
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: muddy things up a little bit. But how about the

306
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. There are four and seven. They still think

307
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: that there's a playoff push for them. Well, and they've

308
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: only won three more games in the Texans. Okay, so

309
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: do you want to play the game of going through

310
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns schedule? All right, yeah, let me let

311
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: me just show you so. Obviously, playing the Texans this weekend,

312
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson makes his debut. Then they will go to

313
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals the following week. Bengals are pretty hot right now.

314
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: That's going to be a tough game for them. Ravens

315
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: at Cleveland December eighteenth, a week later. You don't know

316
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: what to expect from the Ravens right now. They're capable,

317
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: seemingly of beating anybody in the NFL. They're also capable

318
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: of losing to the Jaguars at a Trevor Lawrence last

319
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: minute drive. Credit them for putting that together. But that

320
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: but they're seven and four both Baltimore and Cincinnati, or

321
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: seven and four in Baltivision. Baltimore can play very well.

322
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: Everybody's going to get up for a divisional game. Then

323
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: the Browns have the Saints on Christmas Eve, when the

324
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Texans will be in Nashville to play the Titans. The

325
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Browns will host the Saints. M I don't know the Saints.

326
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: They can give you a game, but it's a rough

327
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: go for them right now. Who knows what they're going

328
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: to be like in a few weeks. Then they'll go

329
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: to the Commanders a suddenly, maybe not so suddenly, gradually

330
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: suddenly tough team. And we saw it up close in personal.

331
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: And now they're two games about five hundred, so that's

332
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: a tough game for them. Then at the Steelers, the

333
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: Steelers might be fighting for eight and nine, nine and

334
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: eight at that time. Look, I was pulling for them

335
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: last night. I was a Steeler fan last night. The

336
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts come on, beat them baby. You know, when

337
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: the Colts woke up in the third quarter, I thought, oh,

338
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: don't let it happen. But then the Steelers went to

339
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: It's funny because I watched those games and then I

340
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: want to cheer for the coal I want to cheer

341
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: against the Colts, but then actually you should want to

342
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: cheer for the cold to stay out of your draft lane.

343
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: Stay out of the draft lane. Yeah, but the Steelers

344
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: could get there too. They could be down now. But

345
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: the Colts will be looking for a quick you don't

346
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: want a quarterback in your division coming out of this

347
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: draft class, do you, because they're definitely where they're going. Well,

348
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: you're right, they could end up with a good quarterback,

349
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: and you don't want the Colts to have a good quarterback.

350
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: So there's a lot to root for and against. But

351
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: I find it difficult to root for the Colts in

352
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: any situation unless they're playing the Jags of the Titans

353
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: and you need one of those two teams to win

354
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: for a division title, which probably won't be the case

355
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: this yere so, so I'm thinking that they have to

356
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: lose no matter what. I don't care about where the

357
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: draft stuff lies because it's such a craft shoot. And

358
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: that's why people who root for the number one pick.

359
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: I'll always come out and say, really, look, if i'm drafting, yeah,

360
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: all right, I'll take the number one pick, But I

361
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: won't strive for the number one pick ever, because you

362
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: don't know when was the last time a quarterback. Let's

363
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: just take the position. Quarterback went number one overall, who

364
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: was a sure thing going in and lived up to it.

365
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: M Andrew Luck right until he wasn't until he wasn't right.

366
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: That was twenty twelve, Andrew Luck number one overall pick

367
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: of the three years ago. Yes, and he was, you know,

368
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: the sure thing. I'm putting that in air quotes going

369
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 1: in and he lived up to it. I mean, year one,

370
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs, they go eleven and five, and

371
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: they beat the Texans in the last game of the

372
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: regular season to knock the Texans out of a buy.

373
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it was phenomenal year for them overall. So

374
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: in the following year, well following year, and then the

375
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: year after that, they're in the AFC Championship game. Andrew Luck,

376
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: You're three in the AFC Championship Game. So Andrew Luck

377
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: was awesome. He just got racked up and retired early

378
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: for a franchise quarterback. But you would take the chance,

379
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: right yeah, everybody else. You know, when you look at

380
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, when you look at Jared Guff, you don't

381
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: have that. You don't have number one picks panning out

382
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: really to be the guy. Joe Burrow though, looks pretty

383
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: good to me. So that's nice, but it's you know,

384
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: he went to a Super Bowl, So a lot of

385
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: teams would take that and take a bunch of years

386
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: of first story. I think this is a very different

387
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: draft class than like the last time the Texans had

388
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, which in twenty three, twenty fourteen,

389
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: the twenty fourteen draft, which was there wasn't a quarterback.

390
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: There wasn't a quarterback. Texans aid the number one overall pick,

391
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: and they were all this. Everybody was sort of like

392
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: as my high school kids would say mid. Everyone was mid.

393
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: All the quarterbacks were mid, right, they were like average.

394
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: They say mid, They say mid, like not I thought

395
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: they said matt Emmy eight. No, now it's mid, you

396
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: say mid. It's like average, all right, like mid level.

397
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: I guess if all right, I'm going to have to

398
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: get a hold. They tell me not to say it,

399
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: but they're not. They're you know, don't say they're like mom,

400
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: don't say mid. Don't says when something is suspicious or suspect.

401
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: Like it's the same word. I've just shortened it. I like,

402
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: like I can say more in less time. Do you

403
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: call your kid dude? Every like, hey, dude? I call

404
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: them bro sometimes because they call each other bro and

405
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: they call me bro, And I hate that I call

406
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: them bro because I just you know, when you're just

407
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: around kids, you just pick up their you just pick

408
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: up their their linguistics. Sometimes it's awful. That is good. Yeah, good. Anyway,

409
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: I don't even know how we got to When did

410
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: the youngest, Well, when did the youngest? How does the youngest?

411
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: My youngest is twelve. Yeah, when did he stopped calling

412
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: you mommy? Or does he still? Sometimes now he doesn't

413
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: call me mommy? And that wasn't Probably a couple of

414
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: years ago, probably around the time when we stopped holding

415
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: hands in public. Okay, that's a tough time, isn't it

416
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: that I would say that's the third grad ish, third

417
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: fourth grade. Yeah, yeah, I think that maybe he did

418
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: a little bit longer because he was the baby, but

419
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: probably third fourth grade, yeah, around that time. Yeah, because

420
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: now the sixteen year old, it's like, dad, dad, what

421
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: do you think of what do you think of Metchi? Dad?

422
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: He loves Metis Jersey loves MATCHI can't wait for Metchi

423
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: to play the whole tame. Yeah all right, Well, speaking

424
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: of Metchi, we've we've seen Metchi quite a bit, Like

425
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: at the games in the building. I see him in

426
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: the locker room when they opened up the locker room

427
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: to the media. I see Metchi in there at least

428
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: a few times a week. That's great, fantastic Cause my

429
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: cleats and now Mike Cause my Cleats. We brought it

430
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 1: full circle. Uh, Mike Cause my cleats is this Sunday,

431
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: the Texans and players across the leagual support causes very

432
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: near and dear to their hearts and a number of players.

433
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: It's up on Houston Texans dot com. Drew Dolord, he

434
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: wrote a story the wide Receivers Wide Receivers coach Ben

435
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: McDaniels and a lot of the rookies actually are wearing

436
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: these orange cleats in support of John Mechi. Orange being

437
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: the color of leukemia awareness. So it's one of the

438
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: many causes being supported this week through the Texans. But

439
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: I think that's just such a big one. And I

440
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: even tweeted out a picture of all the orange cleats

441
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: of all the players supporting Metchi. It's it's really fantastic

442
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: and it's got to retweet that. That's uh, that's really

443
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: great stuff. And we had Jellencamp on the Players Show

444
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: talking about that a little bit as well. You know,

445
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: he's on the practice squad, but he's you know, he's

446
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: been elevated this year. Had a catch against the Philadelphia Eagles,

447
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: and it's just great to see those guys stick together

448
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: for each other and Mecchi himself. Man, the video we

449
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: put out of the guys showing him the cleats, oh yeah,

450
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: for the free time. It's it's getting dusty in here.

451
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: That video is something to behold on Houston tech dot Com,

452
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: Texans apptex and social media platforms today. We put it

453
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: out there and it's very cool stuff. I like My

454
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: Cause My Cleats Now you have it going on too, right.

455
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: I do it because they actually opened it up to

456
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: the staff this year for the first time, which I

457
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: thought was so wonderful. I mean, we've been covering My

458
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: Cause My Cleats for several years now, and I volunteer

459
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: with an organization called CALSA Aid, which they just do

460
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: human humanitarianism across the globe, but a lot of work

461
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: here in Houston would like be a resource for CPS

462
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: Kids or Houston Food Bank, and like women's shelters and

463
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: homeless shelters. So I just wanted to support just do

464
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: what you can in your little corner of the world. Yes, well,

465
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: that's what this thing is all about. It's about amplifying

466
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: that whatever your cause is whatever your yours was Junior Achievement.

467
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: I've been on the board with them for a while. Yeah,

468
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: I have it on the board of directors here Southeast

469
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: Texas Junior Achievement, and it is it's just a joy

470
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: to be involved with them. I do my golf tournament

471
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: every spring Insperity and SNH Manufacturing, and you do like

472
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: it's like a golf um golf season for you because

473
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: right around that time there's all these like charity golf

474
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: every week, and like you're out every single week for

475
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: yet another charity golf tournament. It's really difficult. I need

476
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: to learn how to play golf. It's off of the

477
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: job and the cause. dB. There's no enjoyment here, of course,

478
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: no none. Beautiful April Day in Houston, that's at South

479
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: Shore Harbor. I do the Partner's Invitational for the Texans.

480
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: I do the Texans Charity Classic, and maybe one or

481
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: two others along the way. Oh, Brothers in Arms. I've

482
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: been doing that one lately, Andre and Warren Moon and

483
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: Vince Young and Patti Smith. They put that together for scholarships.

484
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, golfer a cause is fun, but it's always

485
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: a scramble. But I say that. I say, but as

486
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: if that's a bad thing. That's actually a good thing.

487
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: It's a fun thing. But it's also fun to play

488
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: your own ball. But you're good at golf, like you've

489
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: been playing golf. I'm only slightly above it. And vanderwife,

490
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: she's she's played very rarely. She's a great athlete. Like

491
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: when she gets out there, she shoots well, and it's

492
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: very disappointing to me because she's that good an athlete.

493
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: That's a great couple sport to do. A couple's golf

494
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: should probably do more of it. Yeah, yeah, she plays tennis. Though.

495
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: I told my husband he's, um, he really shouldn't take

496
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: up golf because you don't want to. I was like,

497
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: it's it's a real big time suck, Like I would

498
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: wait it is, I wait until the kids are out

499
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: of the house and then do it. Yes, you're not

500
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna have time to be good right now. It's time

501
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: consuming all the way. Golf should be twelve holes. I've

502
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: said this before, golf holes not a team. Well, he

503
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: wanted a hobby, so then he started weightlifting, so his

504
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: goal was to put on like ten pounds. Was he like, well,

505
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: I just last week Oh yeah, he's buff. He's put

506
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: on ten pounds. He put on like ten pounds of muscle.

507
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: He's always been a tremendous shape, but but thin, like

508
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: not big. Yeah, I know, but so what Yeah, exactly

509
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: great shape he's got. Were you trying to gain weight?

510
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: There's no, there's no beer keg on him. Okay, he

511
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: got a six pack. He always has well. And I

512
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: think he took the time that he would be playing

513
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 1: golf and like divided it by like fifty and then

514
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: use that time towards lifting weights and that's his hobby.

515
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: If I only did that, I was like, that's so

516
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: productive of you. Yeah, like I should take my free

517
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: time and like, you know, cook or do something like that.

518
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: But yet I don't. I just watch Netflix and TV.

519
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, you cover an NFL team and also that. Yeah,

520
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: we've also got more on that because the Texans are

521
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: taking on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, and we've actually

522
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: got some news to get to, some injury updates and

523
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: some fun facts from just around the NFL. That's all

524
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: coming up. Let's take a break. We'll be right back

525
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: with more. Texans All Access. Welcome back, Texans All Access.

526
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: We were discussing Week thirteen as the Texans host the Browns,

527
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: and Mark I was looking the last time these two

528
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: teams played each other, which was not that long ago,

529
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: as Week two of last season, Tyrod Taylor and Baker

530
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: Mayfield were the starting quarterbacks. Yeah, like, that's crazy to me,

531
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: that was just last year. Well, it's funny because we're

532
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: talking with Nickissario, Johnny and I and Johnny was saying, yeah,

533
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: we played him, and he was going over the years

534
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: in twenty one. I'm thinking we played them last year

535
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: and I remembered, of course Week two, and that was

536
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: the game where Mills came in at the half after

537
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: Tyrodgerd had thrown that touchdown and we were just so

538
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: disappointed to see him go down and then his Mills

539
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: came in. It seems like a thousand years ago that

540
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: that happened, and it was in NFL terms, because things

541
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: change so quickly in this league. For some teams they don't,

542
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: for others they do, and for these two franchises they have. Yeah,

543
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks changed obviously for both teams. And now here comes

544
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and the Browns here. But one thing that

545
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: hasn't changed, Nick Chubb and Nick, how about the fact

546
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: that he's rushed for over a thousand yards on two

547
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: hundred carries. He averages five point two yards per tempt.

548
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: He's got twelve rushing touchdowns, which leads the AFC at

549
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: second in the NFL. And they've only won four games

550
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: and they just won the fourth one on Sunday. I

551
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: have a hard time wrapping my head around Nick Chubb

552
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: and how great he's been for that offense. Yeah, and

553
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: then they couldn't win more games than that with and

554
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: six of his games were one hundred yard rushing games, right,

555
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: I mean to have over a thousand yards right now,

556
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: that's very strong. Remember last year only seven players had

557
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards. I think this year you're going

558
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: to have a lot more than that. Running games are

559
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: so in right now because Barkley's right behind them, Miles

560
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: Stand Dalvin Cook a forty one injury issues justin fields, well,

561
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: injury issues there Will quarterback is number seven in the

562
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: league and he's hurt. Damian Pierce is still ninth in

563
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: the NFL after two weeks where he got basically nothing.

564
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: So I want to see more production there. We all

565
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: do you want to see that running game get cranked up.

566
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: That's really going to help you out. But yeah, Nick

567
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: Chubb is so dangerous, and as we talk about Watson

568
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,479
Speaker 1: and everything, that's the guy I don't want to say,

569
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: that's the guy you really have to watch out for.

570
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: But that is equally important their ground game because if

571
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm Stefanski, I'm not gonna put the game in Watson's

572
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: hands from the get go. He's probably gonna design some

573
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: bootlegs and get him going, some easy throws just to

574
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 1: get his confidence going, get him back into the NFL flow.

575
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: But he's gonna try to ground and pound with Nick

576
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: Chubb and go from there because if they can run it,

577
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: they will run it. Texans better be ready for that.

578
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: You think you'll see a lot of designed runs with

579
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. No, I don't think you'll see too many. No, No,

580
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: why would when you're paying that much money to a quarterback?

581
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: Could you imagine like, oh my gosh, like we're like, yes,

582
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: we could. Actually, that's terrible. That's terrible. I was still

583
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: thinking about it now. I think you should rest for

584
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Honestly. So I said that

585
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: about Chase Young when we played, not that it helped

586
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: we played the Commanders. I jokingly said, I think he

587
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: should rest for one more game because everyone thought he

588
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: was coming back for that game. And it didn't matter

589
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: because the tackles were the big terror. It didn't matter

590
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: because but then the guy that I interviewed for Enemy

591
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: Sidelines Texas sent me a message. He said, well, you

592
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: got your wish, and I thought, wow, I could have

593
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: wished for anything at that moment in time, and I

594
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: wish for Chase Young to wait another week for his return. Yeah,

595
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: if you were granted one wish, that should not be it.

596
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: That should not have been my one wish. Nothing like that. No,

597
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: but I think to your point with Damian Pierce, it's

598
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: been really disappointing to see only eight yards on the

599
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: ground back to back weeks. The Texans have got to

600
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: figure that out. Levey Smith talked about it. They've got

601
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: to get the run game going, because it's got to

602
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: start with the run game. And you've got Kyle Allen

603
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: now coming in. He's gonna get the bull, he's gonna

604
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: get all the first team reps. So he's officially the

605
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: starter here in his second game. I don't know how

606
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: long that's gonna last. Will they go back to Davis Mills.

607
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: Maybe they will, maybe they won't, but I think to

608
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: only it's only fair to Kyle Allen into this offense

609
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: to get the ground game going. How do you do that?

610
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: You know, how do you do that? That's the magic question.

611
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: They have to figure that out because people are healthy

612
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: along the line. I know they haven't had brit since

613
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: week one, but they've run the ball well with the

614
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: guys they have out there. Right now, teams are playing

615
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: against it. They're staggering, so you have to combat it somehow.

616
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it with Cleveland though.

617
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: Look they give up some yards on the ground, you know,

618
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: middle of the pack to bottom third, but points per

619
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: game they're third from last, right, they give up more

620
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: points per game than the Houston Texans average. The Cleveland

621
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: Browns ladies and gentlemen. So are there opportunities for you

622
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: to move the football with Kyle Allen now in rhythm?

623
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: After one start? Okay, it was rocky at first and

624
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: second half got going a little bit. Can you get

625
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: going from minute number one in the game at NRG

626
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: friendly at home confines against this Brown's defense, which is

627
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: not that great, but they do have Miles Garrett on

628
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: the edge and that's a big problem. So we'll see

629
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: what they can get well. I mean I think with

630
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, what I was expecting last week, and Cecil

631
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: Schwartz and I were talking about it on the pregame

632
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: show was that you want to just play like free

633
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: and loose. It's the house money at this point. For

634
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, like he wants to just get back out

635
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: there and play. And I mean that was the disappointing

636
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: part is that you don't see them taking some deep shots.

637
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: And maybe that's just not at his wheelhouse. I don't know,

638
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: but I know that they think he's mobile, So maybe

639
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: you do more stuff that plays to his skill set

640
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: and you know, you've got a little bit more time

641
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: to prepare for him being under center. I think with

642
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: deep shots, though, you've got to have the protection you

643
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: have to have play action working. Yeah, against Miami, it

644
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: was it was a title wave. I mean it was

645
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: like you're playing at the beach in the water. I

646
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: mean there was a wave of defenders time he went

647
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: back to pass or handoff. I mean there was just

648
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: no room to run and very little room to operate

649
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: in the pocket for Kyle Allen until the second half

650
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: and maybe they softened up a little bit, but the

651
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: starters were still in there, and then he started to

652
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: move the football, and the fact that the Texans were

653
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: starting to make a game of it and the Dolphins

654
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: pulled ta The weird thing about that game I'll always

655
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: think of this is the first two possessions for the Dolphins.

656
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: They're trying to throw the football and twa is getting

657
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: hit hard, sacked three times in two possessions. The Texans

658
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: defenders were getting after it. He was taking shots there.

659
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: Left tackle was out and the Texans saw the quarterback

660
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: get pulled, and all of a sudden, Skyler Thompson is

661
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: in the game and they're producing three and outs like

662
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: they're going out of style. But the Texans, you know,

663
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: they got some things done offensively, got fifteen points on

664
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: the board, couldn't get anymore, and that's where we left off.

665
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: I would have loved to see that one more score

666
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: with a few minutes to go and just see where

667
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: it took. You see if you could really put the pressure.

668
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: I was like, are they going to bring two back

669
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: in the game if it's a one score game. That's

670
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: what Kylams could not move the ball and you're right

671
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: that hits that. I think there was one, the one

672
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: sack by Malik, Oh yeah, onto, it was the one

673
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: before the half that they were discussing on the TV

674
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: broadcast like as two are going to come out in

675
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: the second half, like there's a was a long conversation

676
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: between him and McDaniels and them discussing like is he

677
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: McDaniel if he's going to come back into the game

678
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: or not. They brought him in, then they took him

679
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: out like the end of the third quarter. But I

680
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: just I would have liked to see that myself. But

681
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 1: I thought that the pass rush was getting after it.

682
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: They were they were they were getting after twa. I

683
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: mean the twa was in the game when they were

684
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: getting all those hits on him. But Tua flushed out

685
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: to the left right for that one touchdown pass to

686
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: smite the tight end, and I thought, oh good, they

687
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: got him going left. It's gonna be tough, but oh yeah,

688
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: he's a self ball and he's able to throw with

689
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: the left hand and get it done. Now you get

690
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: Watson outside the pocket this weekend, we all know that

691
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: can be big trouble for the defense. That can be

692
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: a problem. So I'm not sure how it's going to

693
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: go down. We've also seen Watson takes some sacks and

694
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't played in two years, so maybe that helps

695
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: the text moans defense. I don't know, but if Nick

696
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: Chubb is having his way on the ground, then it

697
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Right they're going to run the ball, well,

698
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: it'll be easy pickings in the short passing game on

699
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: third and short or whatever it is, and Watson, that

700
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: whole factor won't get played up as much because the

701
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: Browns are running it. You still have to start with

702
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: stopping the ground game, or at least slowing it down. Yeah,

703
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: maybe you just keep them off the field and just

704
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: have like these really long sustainable tribes. How about that.

705
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: Let's just not let the offense get on the field,

706
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: don't let them get in a rhythm. You know, a

707
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: little bright spot from Sunday Little Tiny one, little little

708
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: tiny or the dark clouds star in the sky. Daria

709
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: GOODBUALI right, Dari had some moments that first touchdown drive,

710
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: had a catch, had a run, got the final TD run.

711
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: So he had three touches on that drive, I think,

712
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: And there was a pasta Cooks and they kind of

713
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: mixed it up and played it well and they got

714
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: on the board. All right, great, you're on the board.

715
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: Now start that early. Okay, play well early. This just

716
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: in when you score early, it really it really helps

717
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: the game. Everybody breaking news. But you know what, that

718
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: was an issue. Even when I went back and I

719
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: looked at the game book from the we that final

720
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: game in the twenty twenty season with Deshaun Watson as

721
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback, like, the Texans didn't score a single touchdown

722
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: until after half. Nine points, all field goals at the

723
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: break of that everything in the second and they erupt

724
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: in the second half. Yeah, it wasn't enough. It wasn't

725
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: enough to beat the Titans. No, it still wasn't enough.

726
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: Look that year, first halves were very slow for the

727
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. And I've seen this before, you know, twenty

728
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: ten was that kind of year where they finished top

729
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: four in offense. Right, they put up some yards. Arian

730
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: Foster led the league in rushing. They could not score

731
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: in the first half consistently at all. They had such

732
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: slow starts. Had to roar back in second halves and

733
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: they would lose. At the moment of truth that the

734
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: hail married to Jackson built that year. I don't want

735
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: to recap all that stuff the Jets, all those painful

736
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: last minute losses, but the point is those years were

737
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: similar in that way. That was a six and ten season.

738
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty was a four and twelve season. You just

739
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: weren't able to get going early, and they've been having

740
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: issues with that lately and look where they are record wise.

741
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: Get going early. Hey, it gets Philadelphia. That was a loss,

742
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: but you know what, it was fun to be in

743
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: that game for a while. Fourteen fourteen at the break,

744
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: scoring on the opening drive. Try that on Sunday, please,

745
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: it would be nice and maybe we'll see more. Dara

746
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: Gumba walle because Rick Spurkhead is in the concussion protocol.

747
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: We saw a really scary hit yeah, late in the

748
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: game where you laying on his back. I was worried

749
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: it was going to be a spine issue. But does

750
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 1: Eno end up playing this week? And that's that's where

751
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: I was going with that, was that Eno Benjamin's been

752
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: inactive for the past two weeks, which is worrisome. I

753
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: think that if a player gets here and is not active,

754
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, for the first two weeks, it's like what's

755
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: what's the deal? Why are they not ready? And as

756
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: we say this, look, I don't know anything. I haven't

757
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: taught to the coaches about this at all. But Royce

758
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: Freeman's on the practice squad right. I just saw his

759
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: cleats out in the hallway for my college were displaying them.

760
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: So I saw the Royce because he has a two

761
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: and it's say so I thought Royce could be elevated

762
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: if Rex is unavailable. I don't know. Yeah, I don't

763
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: know if that's going to happen. He's been here longer,

764
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: he knows the system. So maybe you get him in

765
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: there and then you get you can do well. I

766
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: think your point is is great there. If Rex can't go,

767
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's obviously got to be the second guy

768
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: unless yeah we see eno. Well we're not going to

769
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: see it, but you know, Erupts in practice or Royce

770
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: or somebody else where. They say he's got to have

771
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: the hot legs this weekend, but I think it's Dari Dar.

772
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: He's got his feet wet a lot this year. And look,

773
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: they like him. They like him in the receiving game,

774
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: they like him in special teams. I don't know what

775
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 1: he know, does on special teams and maybe that's what's

776
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: holding him back. Maybe to me, Dore is the kind

777
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: of guy you wanted your football team. He can play offense,

778
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: he plays great special teams I hear. And you know,

779
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm not always the best evalue eader of those things.

780
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: You know, if Frank Ross says a guy plays special teams, well, okay,

781
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: thanks Frank. And I could see a guy making tackles, Okay,

782
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: I could see that running with great return man, great tackler.

783
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: But the rest of it, well this, you know, he

784
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: blocks the gunner really well. I don't know. I don't

785
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: look at that stuff. I'm watching the ball when Cameron

786
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: Johnston punts, I have to follow the ball like an

787
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: NFL films cameraman with my binoculars. You know, if I

788
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: take my eyes off the ball, I'm done. So I

789
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: don't see all the little nuances in the special teams game.

790
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: I want to get a camera back in the booth

791
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: again for you to have a call, because now it's

792
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: this is the viral thing, right now, I might have

793
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: I know, are you so jealous they're showing like play

794
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: by play guys, I'm more jealous of the winning thing too.

795
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: But we used to actually do that. There used to

796
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: be a camera in the booth. Yeah, we'll get it,

797
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: but it wasn't. It wasn't a thing the way it

798
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: is now now. I see everybody doing I see the

799
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: Jaguars doing it. Was starting to do it, and we

800
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: had some good moments, you know, the twenty eighteen Lamar

801
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: Miller run. We're in the booth there they get me

802
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: calling that that was We need more of that. Maybe

803
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 1: if the cameras in the booth, that'll change the time.

804
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,720
Speaker 1: You know what, We'll start winning once we get the camera.

805
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: Because it's all about I won't say it, you can say.

806
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: I'll say it for you. It's all about Mark all right,

807
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: It's all about Texans All Access. We got one more segment.

808
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna go around the NFL. Don't go anywhere. The

809
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: final segment of Texans All Access, we go around the

810
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: NFL Colts. Last night, in case you missed it, they

811
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: nearly came back and beat the Steelers. Matt Ryan was

812
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: twenty two of thirty four, one hundred ninetyine yards a

813
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: touchdown an interception. Where do the Texans and Jeff Saturday

814
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: go from here? Jeff Saturday's getting heat Jeff Saturday, And

815
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: what did I say? Good Texans, Jeff Saturday, the Colts. No,

816
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: he's please, no Jeff Saturday in the Colts. Where do

817
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: they go from here? Because he's getting a lot of

818
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: heat for not using his timeouts and keeping them as well.

819
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: This is what happens. And look, look, head coaches screw

820
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: up stuff all the time on the clock, right, But

821
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: that and they ultimately lost. But I believe this. I'm

822
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: watching that game, and I understand that if they convert, okay,

823
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: they can bang a time out then and get it going.

824
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. When it's third down, you might

825
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: want to call it because not only do you want

826
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: to preserve a little bit of time right, you want

827
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: to get the play right. They didn't run any think good,

828
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: Obviously they didn't because it didn't work right. Fourth down,

829
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: third down, go ahead and call a time out just

830
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 1: to get it right, because I think they had two more.

831
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: I think that a full compliment going striddle. So I'm like,

832
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: you're running the ball up the middle. It's less than

833
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: two minutes, and yeah, you have to get it right.

834
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: And Matt Ryan could have called time out, but Saturday

835
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: should have called time out. The feel of it. And

836
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: this shows you folks. When you're at home on your couch,

837
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,479
Speaker 1: it might look obvious, and you play a lot of Madden,

838
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: so it's like, yeah, go ahead and call time out.

839
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: When you're on the sideline, you're thinking about, well, what's

840
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: the next play? What's this now? He's not calling the

841
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: plays because it's Parks Frasier right stand in. But Saturday's

842
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: thinking about a lot of different Why wasn't he yelling

843
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: in the headset? And I think we were discussing this

844
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, Like Matt Ryan, for as many

845
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: years he's playing in the NFL, it should have immediately

846
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: been making the timeout sing yeah, yeah, Because look, if

847
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 1: i'm Jeff Saturday, Matt, you have some autonomy here. If

848
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: you feel like it's crucial to call a time out,

849
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: we don't have our act together, or whatever the situation

850
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: may be, you have the green light to call a timeout,

851
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: especially when we have more than one. Just say it,

852
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: Just do it. What's the worst that can happen? Right,

853
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: It's not like you're facing Patrick Mahomes. You're going to

854
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: score two quickly? Right? They needed a touchdown and I thought,

855
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: you know what, they still have here's the thing about

856
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: timeouts versus downs and all that they still have a

857
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: big chunk of real estate or a healthy chunk of

858
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: real estate to cover to get to the end zone.

859
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: And they're running out of time now and they're preserving

860
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: the time. Would you have to make sure you convert.

861
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: You got to get it right on the play call

862
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: and the execution, and they didn't. And that's why he's

863
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: taking the criticism. I wonder how this is going to

864
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: play out for them at the end of the year.

865
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: What's I mean, I think even from Matt Ryan is

866
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: or is he going back to being benching doesn't not

867
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: matter at this point. Saturday, like, what is their evaluation

868
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: of him? What's his evaluation of the team, Because you

869
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: can't say we want Jeff Saturday to evaluate this team

870
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: and then put him under the gun as well, like

871
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: you're now evaluating him, and well, I don't understand what

872
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: this is accomplishing. It It's the NFL. Everybody's being evaluated

873
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: always right emails to be evaluated. They're asking they're asking

874
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: him for his evaluation. Now he's he's being evaluated into

875
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 1: the microscope. And you can't say that he totally lost

876
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: them the game last night but he didn't help them

877
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: out by not being better with the clock management late.

878
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: And look, if he calls time out at the proper time,

879
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: no one's saying that that guarantees another first down or

880
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: a touchdown, or whatever the case may be. Let's say

881
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: they tied again, Are they going for two? Right there?

882
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to see. I want to see

883
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: them get it into the end zone and make that

884
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: tough decision, do you go for two or not? I

885
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: got a feeling it would have gone for two meeting

886
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: him two. I still can't stop thinking about Laramie Tunsel

887
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: missing the two point conversion. I really wish, I really wish.

888
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: I hope they do it again. You want to talk

889
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: about viral moment. Could you imagine that Pat McAfee tweeted

890
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: about it, he missed, and Pat McAfee still tweeted about

891
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: it that he was like what an athlete? So I

892
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: can't imagine if he'd made it, it'd be all over

893
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: the place. Oh, that would have been so good. That

894
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: was so far from our booth. It felt like it

895
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: was in the next, so far from his hands. I

896
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: have nightmare airs about being in booths like I was

897
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: in on Sunday, don't you can't see anything. You just

898
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: can't see on that end. And you know, so sometimes

899
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: I'd go to the monitor, but the monitor is coming

900
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: back the other way. It's reverse angle. So you really

901
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: have to have your wits about you, and I have

902
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 1: to stand the whole time. I'm not complaining. I love

903
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: what I do and I kind of love the challenge

904
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: of doing that on Sunday because the booth is that

905
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: is we Oh they may mean the Dolphins guys were saying, oh,

906
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: how do you like our crappy booths? I mean they

907
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: hate it. Yeah, I'm sure they, And it's it was

908
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: just fun to be part of something like that, a

909
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: challenge like that, to try to get it right, because

910
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: I thought we had a pretty good broadcast. But I

911
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: can't be the worst of you though. In the NFL,

912
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: it is the worst in the NFL. The Dolphins win

913
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: the award. Now, yeah, because they reconfigured the stadium and

914
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 1: they moved to Washington. Washington was horrible, but this is

915
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: worse than Washington. They have replaced Washington as the worst

916
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: booth in the league. Washington's booth is actually kind of nights,

917
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: but it's low and in the corner. This is lower

918
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: in the corner, and the booth is jammed like you're

919
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: in a broom closet and you can't fit two people

920
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: side to side. Practically, it's awful. But it was a

921
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,959
Speaker 1: temporary setup. But maybe that's just the right I wish

922
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: it was. But the stadium actually they did a really

923
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: nice job overall with the stadium renovation except for that,

924
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: except for the booth and what's more important Again, it

925
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: all comes back to the fanciit of recliners. But you

926
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: we don't want the away announcing team to be able

927
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: to see them, why would they care? Can have that? All? Right? Well,

928
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: we do have Texans matchup coming up next with John Harris.

929
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: That's gonna do for Texans All Access. Thank you for listening.

930
