Yes, finally here. It's weird playing a Colts 22 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: so I should so so late in the season. I'm 23 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: trying to remember. There was one year we played him 24 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: like week fourteen, Week seventeen, something like that, if I 25 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: remember correctly, But it's kind of weird were playing him 26 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: twice in three weeks. We will play them Sundaycember sixth, 27 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: then we will go to Chicago and then after that 28 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: play them up there December twentieth. That game is definitely 29 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: going to stick as a Sunday game. There was some 30 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: talk about that maybe moving to Saturday, you know that 31 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: Saturday game the Saturday before Christmas, but or the weekend 32 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: before the Christmas weekend. I guess what's this year. Christmas 33 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: is on a Friday, So yeah, we would have played 34 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: on the nineteenth. That's what we've done in the past years. 35 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: Jets game was that way, the Bucks game in twenty 36 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: nineteen was that way. But this year we are playing 37 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: on on Sunday. So the Colts twice in three weeks, 38 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: and sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes not a good thing. 39 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm not totally sure what it means for this one. 40 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: Because there are a number of Colts still trying to 41 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: get back from COVID situations. There's still some Cults trying 42 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: to get back from injuries. There are some Texans we 43 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: won't see on Sunday unfortunately due to peed suspensions. And yeah, 44 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: it's been that kind of year. So Sunday have no 45 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: idea for the most part, what team or teams were 46 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: going to see over. I did this math. It's not 47 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: hard math, but I did this math over three of 48 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: the last four halves of football. The Colts were outscored 49 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: seventy three two forty by the Packers in the first 50 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: half and the Titans the whole game. But that second 51 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: half against the Packers, they outscored the Packers twenty to 52 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: three in a second half one night game, thirty four 53 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: thirty one in overtime. So the Colts, you know, just 54 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna get against the Packers where 55 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: they created a lot of turnovers. The Forrest Buttner was 56 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: in the game. They played with some pep in their step, 57 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: and offensively they were ready to roll. The Ryan Kelly there. 58 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: They did not have Braid Smith, but they are ready 59 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: to rock against the Titans. The Titans ran them out 60 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: of the building. And I watched both those games again today, 61 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: had seen them, I guess, in their entirety, or for 62 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: the most part, and I watched them again today as 63 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: the man. They look like two different teams. The team 64 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: that played the first half agains of Packers in the 65 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: full game against the Titans, versus the team that played 66 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: the second half against the Packers. That team was similar 67 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: to the team that played the second half at Tennessee 68 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: that blew out Tennessee at Tennessee. That's what they looked 69 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: like in the second half against the Packers. That was 70 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: not what they look like last week against the Titans. 71 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: But they had no Buckner, no Denico Autry, no Ryan Kelly, 72 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: and in that game Anton Costanzo got hurt sprained his MCL. 73 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: So what does all this mean for Sunday. We don't know. 74 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: The only thing we know for sure is we will 75 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: not see Will Fuller, we will not see Bradley Roby, 76 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: and we will see a team with a horse shoe 77 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: on its helmet ready to roll. Ant t Y Hilton 78 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: will be coming into this building looking to not get revenge, 79 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: but maybe get revenge. He considers his home away from 80 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: home and last year, the Texans shut him down in 81 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: the game at NRG Stadium, Texas in a Bunnidand game 82 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: twenty to seventeen. What will happen this time? Her guest 83 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: is as good as mine. But I do know the 84 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: Texans are loose. They will play loose, and they will 85 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: be ready to go. They are not scared of anything 86 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: at this point. We will hear from them in our 87 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: Texans audio jukebox in just a few minutes. But what 88 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,559 Speaker 1: else is on the show? Well, we're gonna go behind 89 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: enemy sidelines with Deep City, of course, with Laura Overton, 90 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: good friend of ours from the Indianapolis Colts, to sit 91 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: down and discuss this game. Obviously, Mark will join me. 92 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: Mark vandermir that is, will join me. We'll talk about 93 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: Colts Week. I always love talking to Mark Colts Week. 94 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,119 Speaker 1: It's always funny to see his reaction in going back 95 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: over some of the things that happened. And oh, by 96 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: the way, Stephen Holder, who writes for the Athletic Up 97 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, wrote a story today on the famous game 98 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: or infamous depending on which side you were on. That 99 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: Mark always refers to Hasselbeck in a diaper game, and 100 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: he wasn't far off the twenty fifteen Thursday Night game. 101 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that because the story is absolutely fantastic, 102 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: told by Hasselbeck, told by his brother, It's just amazing. 103 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Mark. Then this was supposed to 104 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: happen on Monday, but because of the news, we will 105 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: Fuller and Bradley Roby, well, I guess we only knew 106 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: Fuller at the time we scratch the Coaches show, even 107 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: though Mark had done a tremendous interview with Anthony Weaver 108 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: and thought, well, we don't want to lose twenty plus 109 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: minutes a weave, do we. So we'll have that for 110 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: you in the second hour. Then we'll go in the 111 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: lab with my man Drew Doherty as we talk about 112 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: this one coming up against the cults. Let's get it 113 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: kicked off as we always do with some hot reads, 114 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: and Geico has some great news for you.

Holidays go check them out Geico 120 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: dot com for that great news. All right, we will 121 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: do some Texans audio jukebox in a second. We've got 122 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people to hear from. But figured right 123 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: off the top, let's just do the injury report, get 124 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: out of the way, and thankfully it's not extensive from 125 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: your for your Texans two illnesses, CJ pro Sie, Ross Blacklock, 126 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: either one of them practiced, and then calling Gillespia Gilly 127 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: deal with that back issue, limited participants, Brian Anger still 128 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: dealing with that quad and Lonnie Johnson deal with the need. Now, 129 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: the cult side of this is a little big dicey. 130 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: I guess, if you want to say it that way, 131 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: they had two four six eight players that did not participate. 132 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: Now one of them I would imagine they're gonna put 133 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: on ir at some point, and that's Putter Rigiberto Sanchez 134 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: because he posted online the other day that he had 135 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: a cancerous tumor removed. Now I cannot imagine, and he's 136 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: gonna play, but they listen him as a DNP. He's 137 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: one two not injury related ones. Justin Houston and Trey Burton. 138 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: Here is one to keep an eye on, though. Anthony 139 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: Costanzo dealing with a knee. Frank Reich was asked about 140 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: that injury and did not commit one way or the 141 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: other tim playing against Houston or not, but I think 142 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: a sprain nap steals at least two weeks, so we'll 143 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: keep an eye on that one. But Costanzo did not 144 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: participate today. Also not participating Bobbio Carique with an ankle, Linebacker, 145 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: quarterback Philip Rivers, and safety Carry Willis has become a 146 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: nice piece in the secondary for stepping in from Lee Cooker. 147 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: Two limited participants Zach Pascal and Kamico Ture and full 148 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: participants and this is a big one for them. Ryan Kelly, 149 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: he did not play against the Tennessee Titans and went 150 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: Danny Pinter the rookie backup, but Kelly it looks like 151 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: should be back for the game against the Texans. Isaiah 152 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: Rodgers cornerback, kick returner, and Jordan Wilkins. They were both 153 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: full participants at practice. So some bang up dudes on 154 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: the Cult side peed suspensions on the Texans side, at 155 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: least two of them, so I don't know, maybe things 156 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: maybe things even out, if you will. Plus they also 157 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: have a few COVID issues all right, let's get to 158 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: some Texans audio jukebox, and we are going to start 159 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: with the Venerable Romeo Crannell, who, of course was going 160 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: to be asked right out of the shoot about Bradley 161 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: Roby and Will Fuller's suspensions. Well, you know, anytime you 162 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: have someone on your team make a misstep, that disappointing, 163 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: and then particularly when they are key contributors. So then 164 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: what we'll have to do now is everybody is as 165 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: a group, we'll have to tighten the belt straps and 166 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: put our best foot forward and get ready for the 167 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: game on sending. Yeah, can't cry you bear anymore. You 168 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: just gotta roll with it. That's all you can do. 169 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: So at that point, what do you do at receiver? Coach? 170 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a tough one because now you're down 171 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: no Stills because he was waived, No Fuller because he's suspended, 172 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: and what do you do and Cobb because he's been 173 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: banged up? So what do you do at receiver? But 174 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna go through the week and see how everybody 175 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: looks during the week and then make a decision toward 176 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,599 Speaker 1: the end of the week about who we're going to 177 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: use and how we're gonna use now one of the 178 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: guys on the fifty three man roster that I've probably 179 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: heard from people more that want to see this guy. 180 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to say more than anybody else, but 181 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: people are excited about Kiki QT and obviously still excited 182 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: about Brandy Cooks. But whenever a rookie hasn't played, and 183 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: there were no preseason games, so people haven't seen Isaiah 184 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: Coulter at all. So of course coach was asked, could 185 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: Coulter be a guy for Sunday and what have they 186 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: seen from him? I think he's a good young talent. 187 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: He's got good hands, that's a good worker. So that's 188 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: what I've seen. I will interject at this point and 189 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: tell you what I've seen and look X season member day, 190 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: So not gonna dispute what he says. I think exactly 191 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: what Rax said, we've seen and saw at training camp 192 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: and at the beginning of training camp he was kind 193 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: of banged up. They put the pads on, then he 194 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: was ready to go, and then he got dinged up 195 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: at the end of training camp, which eventually put him 196 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: on IR And look, there's a logjam of wide receiver. 197 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: But I already mentioned it. No cop, no Fuller, no Stills, 198 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: those three. So Isaiah Coulter, fifth round, rookie from Rhode Island, 199 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: six two sixty three, two hundred pounds long, wiry, he 200 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: can run. See him run away from dudes. I think 201 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: it was against Marshall. I think it was. I'm trying 202 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: to remember. I think it was Marshall fourth, not fourth 203 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: and four. Caught to pass across the middle, a little 204 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: slant route and took it to the house and ran 205 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: away from everybody. In training camp, he made a couple 206 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: of catches. There was one catch where he slipped going 207 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: across the middle, reached back, snagged the ball and there 208 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: was something else going on that like nobody reacted to 209 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: the catch, and I'm like, that's one of the best 210 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: catches in camp. One on ones. He not only ran 211 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: by a few guys, but he was picking it off 212 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: the top of their domes, I mean, dunking on him 213 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: as you will. I mean it was. He made some 214 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: really impressive plays in training camp. Scott hurt at the 215 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: end and that distalled his momentum and hopefully he's able 216 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: to kind of get it going. Get on the field, 217 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: get your feet under you, may make a catch, maybe 218 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: make a big play and then see where it puts 219 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: you going forward. I mean that's that's really, you know, 220 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: all you can you can ask from a rookie, especially 221 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: this late in year. But hopefully he can go do 222 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: something to make things happen Thursday against the Lions. But 223 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: it was fun to see jj Watt make that play, 224 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: that pick sick, jump up, snag it, run to the 225 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: end zone and Rax says, yeah, we've seen it before. 226 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: Glad to see him return to For him, it was 227 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: like it was when I first got here. He's making 228 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: those huge plays when I first got here. He's helping 229 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: else to win, he's uplifting the team. And so that 230 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: did that, you know, on Thanksgiving. Hopefully we'll continue that 231 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: and I him keep making plays. Speaking of jj Watt, 232 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: let's flip this Texans audio jukebox over to j J 233 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: nine nine and here from the man himself, who didn't 234 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: want a whole lot to do with the suspensions. I 235 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: don't blame him. He basically said, look, that's not my spot. 236 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: It's I'm not getting into that. So cool. So let's 237 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: talk about Philip Rivers and what it's like facing Philip 238 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: and how much he likes the trash talk. Yeah, I mean, 239 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: he's been in the league for a very long time. Obviously, 240 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: I've said it before. He's one of the smartest players 241 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: I've ever played against. He can call out your blitzes, 242 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: he can call out your defensive schemes. He can tell 243 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: guys they're misaligned on your defense. So he's a brilliant 244 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: player who doesn't insane him on a film study, who 245 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: works extremely hard to master his craft, and he's obviously 246 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: done it at a high level for a long time. 247 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: So it's a great challenge for us. I'm looking forward 248 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: to it now. Even though Phillips got that throwing motion 249 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: that is sort of odd and weird, he's been doing 250 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: it for a long time and he gets the ball 251 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: out fast. But because it's kind of three quarters side 252 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: arm motion, ish, JJ's got a great opportunity to not 253 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: only knock the ball down, but maybe do something like 254 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: he did against the Detroy Lions, which would be kind 255 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: of fun. But here's JJ talking about how fast Philip 256 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: can get the ball out of his hands. I mean, 257 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: he's getting the ball out of his hands extremely fast. 258 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: He knows exactly whereas guys are, he knows how to 259 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: get it out of his hands when he's got pressure, 260 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: and obviously they have schemes and setups where he can't 261 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: get the ball of his hands fast. So he's done 262 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: a great job of that and that's what makes it 263 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: so difficult to get Saxon. Now, if you went around 264 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: asking everybody in the city Houston, Texas fans, he said, 265 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: who leads the Texans and quarterback hits Immediately people would say, well, duh, 266 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: I mean JJ Watt does right wrong, Charles a man 267 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: who does. Here's JJ talking about the second year man 268 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: out of Texas. Yeah, he certainly has some flashes of 269 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: some great things. And I think he continued to improve 270 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: and get better at that and really carve out a 271 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: nice role there on third down as an interior pass rusher. 272 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: I think that he's learning some things, he's figuring some 273 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: things out about his game and areas that he can 274 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: hone in on and continue to develop. And I think 275 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: he's doing a good job, and I think he's going 276 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: to continue to grow. He's got he's got some skills, 277 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: and he's got some ability that he can call today 278 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: and really turn into a nice pass rusher. All right, 279 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: I'll let's talk about defense, defense, defense, Let's go offense. 280 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: Let's hear from the man himself to Sean Watson, And 281 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: of course you knew to sew was going to be 282 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: asked about his favorite receiver, Will Fuller and Bradley Roby 283 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: being suspended. And here's what he had to say. Yeah, 284 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: there's a situation that you know, those two guys, you know, 285 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: they you know, stuck up to what I guess went 286 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: down with that. That's kind of out of my you 287 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: know a and I just found that just like everyone 288 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: else found out. Um. But yeah, we're gonna miss those guys, 289 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: and those guys gonna be back and you know, ready 290 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: to go whenever that time is, um that season. But um, yeah, 291 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: that's that's a tough situation. But the Sean and the 292 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: team are determined to move on and not be rattled 293 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: by the situation and get over it quickly and not 294 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: gonna let it slow him down. Now, we don't have 295 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: no choice but to move on. Man, all the stuff 296 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: we've done dealt with, you know, through this organization over 297 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: the years. I mean, you just gotta keep pushing and 298 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: keep moving forward. You know, Will knows that we all 299 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: love him, and he always do the right thing, and 300 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: that one's slip up just got popped. But you know, hey, 301 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: we always gonna have us back. You know, Will is 302 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: my brother. The whole organization knows that too, and you know, 303 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: make sure that we can come back from next year, 304 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: especially in this organization. But that's a whole another story 305 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: on topic. But yeah, we gotta move on. We gotta 306 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: quick five weeks that's gonna hit us this month and 307 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: you know it's big games, so we gotta make sure 308 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: that we're focusing on thrown on those appointments. And you 309 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: just since you touched on it, since you touched on it, 310 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: how important did you do if you can, if they 311 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: can make it work to get him back here next year, 312 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: Oh for sure, Yeah, I mean that's very important. So 313 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: definitely one guy that I'm gonna be working on this 314 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: this this last month in all season for sure.

This week on Enemy Sidelines, it's my good 439 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: friend Indianapolis Colts team reporter Lara Overton. We usually chat 440 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: much earlier in the season, so it feels a little 441 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: weird to say this is the first time we're talking 442 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty the regular season. That is, it's week thirteen, Lara, 443 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: how is it going? Let's get talking about these Colts. Man. Man, 444 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: we had to wait till December to do it, but 445 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: we get to do this twice in a stretch of 446 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: three weeks thanks to like the wild scheduling. So excited 447 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: to do with you. We'll call it in front of 448 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: me sidelines because we were much closer to friends than enemies. 449 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: But man, this is stacking up to be a really 450 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: tough late stretch of the season for the Colts. When 451 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: you talk about last weekend, not getting the job done 452 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans, now facing a bit of an 453 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: uphill climb to try to position themselves into a playoff spot. Well, 454 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: the Colts are off to a seven and four start. 455 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: The last time we chatted was actually this offseason. The 456 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: Colts had signed Philip Rivers and you and I had discussed, 457 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: you know, what he might look like in this offense. 458 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: You had discussed his comfort level in the system. He 459 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: had some familiarity with Frank Breich in that offense, and 460 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: he runs. But you know now that you had quite 461 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: few games that you've been able to watch him play. 462 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: Where do you think that he's really made his most progress. 463 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: Where do you think that he really needs to improve 464 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: this final month of the season. One of the things 465 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: that you notice when you look at Philip and the 466 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: numbers that he's put up in the production that he's 467 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: had is the number of different guys that he's engaging 468 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: in this offense. There have been multiple times that he's 469 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: had ten eleven different receivers that he's connected with on 470 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: this offense. And that's not just your wide receivers. That's 471 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: also getting your running backs engaged in the passing game. 472 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: As well, especially with ninehem Hines being somewhat of a 473 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: dual threat, and then also Jonathan Taylor and Jordan Wilkins. 474 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: And when you lose to start this season your star 475 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: bellcoal running back in Marlon Mack and then you also 476 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: lose Paris Campbell, there was a lot of work to 477 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: be done in terms of bringing up some of these 478 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: other guys who are a little deeper on the depth 479 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: chart and getting them involved in this offense. So that's 480 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: one of the things that with the veteran quarterback like 481 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, you point to his ability to really spread 482 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,719 Speaker 1: the ball around and for the Colt to not just 483 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: be one dimensional within their offense, to have that passing 484 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: and running attack. I don't think that the running game 485 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: has been certainly ads productive as they would ideally have 486 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: liked it to be this season, But what they've done 487 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: a lot more so is spread things around between j 488 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: T Nihim and Jordan when the opportunity has presented itself. 489 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: And then you've seen guys like Demichael Harris, an undrafted 490 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: rookie who has had incredible games, Marcus Johnson, who's a 491 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: veteran who he and Phil have an incredible rapport then 492 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: you talk about kind of staples like Zach Pascal and 493 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,239 Speaker 1: of course t Y Hilton, and then also your tight end. 494 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: I mean guys like Trey Burton, a new addition to 495 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: this team in the offseason. He has been so impactful 496 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: because of Philip Rivers, the way he runs this offense, 497 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: how much he loves to utilize his tight ends in 498 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: addition to his receivers and backs. You mentioned Ty Hilton. 499 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: Texans fans are so familiar with. It seems like he's 500 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: not had the scoring success as of late. We see 501 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: t Y Hilton always banged up, always dealing with injuries, 502 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: yet he's still out there on the field. What's twenty 503 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: twenty been like for him and how has his chemistry 504 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: come along with Rivers. In a word, I would say 505 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: it's been frustrating for Ty, not for lack of his 506 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: effort or Phillip's attempts to get him the ball. It's 507 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: almost been one thing or another weekend and week out. 508 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: I asked Frank Graig about this a few weeks ago, 509 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: and it was just kind of one of those situations 510 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: where you would get him the ball and he would 511 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: make the grab, but then there was a flag and 512 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: there was a penalty, maybe on the old line, maybe 513 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: there was a holding call or something. So it was 514 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: just these very frustrating situations where it wasn't for lack 515 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,719 Speaker 1: of effort to try to get Ty. The ball just 516 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: was not falling into place for one reason or another. 517 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,479 Speaker 1: And it's also the fact that you know defenses are 518 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: going to key in on t Y Hilton, he's a 519 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: primary guy, he's your veteran receiver. Well, you're bringing in 520 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: a new quarterback in twenty twenty, you know that Philip 521 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: Verse seventeen's eyes are always going to go to thirteen. Right, 522 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: that's probably gonna be in most scenarios the first place 523 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna try to get the ball in those deep 524 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: passing situations, so those chunk play situations. So it's a 525 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: multitude of different things. It is not because you know, 526 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: certain people have pointed to, oh, you know, Ty, maybe 527 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: he's over the hill, maybe it's time for him to 528 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: hang it up. I assure you with what we saw 529 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: last weekend against Tennessee. Even in the loss, it was 530 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: Tys most productive game we've seen all season long, and 531 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: it was vintage t Y. There was a huge chunk play. 532 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: He also had just an incredible catch in the end zone, 533 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: keeping the toes in. He was well covered by the 534 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: Titans defense and he was able to make one of those, 535 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, really clutch plays that was vintage t Y Hiltons. 536 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: So this is now the point where you think that 537 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: ty is starting to find his stride, maybe catch a 538 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: bit of rhythm with Philip Rivers. And one of the 539 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: things that those two guys connect on so well is 540 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: their sons coming up in the ranks of playing football. 541 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: Right now, you have tyse son who's a receiver in 542 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: a running back. Philip's son is of course a quarterback 543 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: who plays multiple positions as well. So one of the 544 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: things those guys have found common ground on is being 545 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: dadded to up and coming football players in their own right. 546 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: So they have really great chemistry and continuity off the field. 547 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: It hasn't quite played out as you imagine on the 548 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: field just yet, but you certainly think that that time 549 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: is coming. I would love to see that in the 550 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: off season, a little bit of young Philip Rivers and 551 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: young t Y Hilton action. I know, league football. I 552 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: think that's I think I think there's an idea there. Lara, 553 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: get the scouting reports right, the scouting parts are out. 554 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: What about the run game last year that the Colts 555 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: were top ten and rushing? Obviously, we saw what happened 556 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: to Marlon Mack that first game of the season. He's out, obviously, 557 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: and you've got a great young rookie in the Wisconsin 558 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: back Jonathan Taylor. But you know what is going on 559 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: with the run game. You've got Niheim Hines. It seems 560 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: like he's catching a lot of passes versus rushing yards 561 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: at least in that Titans game. But how much has 562 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: it been a struggle getting that run game going? And 563 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: why has that been the case this year? I think 564 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: that people really took for granted the production of Marlon 565 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: Mack and what he meant to this team because a 566 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: lot of people saw when they drafted Jonathan Taylor and 567 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,959 Speaker 1: they thought, oh, you know, the culture are you know, 568 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: now shifting their focus onto you know, this up and 569 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,959 Speaker 1: coming this young running back. You know, you know, maybe 570 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: Marlon Max's time is limited because he's going into a 571 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: contract year. Now. You're starting to see the value in 572 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: Marlon Mack. And that's not to discredit at all Jonathan 573 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: Taylor for a rookie doing what he's doing. Learning a 574 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: new offense, coming into a new system. He has had 575 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: a strong start to his rookie campaign, but there's just 576 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: no replacing a guy who's coming off a thousand yard 577 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: rushing season like we saw with Marlon Mack. So you're 578 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: looking at this offense that has three very different talents 579 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: in the running back room. When you have Nihem, who 580 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: is that guy who is a weapon in the receiving 581 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: game as well as the run game, maybe even more 582 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: c in the receiving game because he has that breakaway speed. 583 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: He's really tricky. He's elusive to try to tackle the 584 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: cuts that he makes, you know, the moves he's able 585 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: to throw in. He's a former college sprinter. He was 586 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: an ACC champion in the four by one hundred at 587 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:26,479 Speaker 1: NC State, So he has just incredible, impressive breakaway speed 588 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: that's difficult for defenses to counter. And then you have 589 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, who brings a ton of that power. You know, 590 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: of course the quickness as well, but one of the 591 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: things that you saw from him at Wisconsin was his reliability, 592 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: that power that he plays with, and we've seen on 593 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: numerous occasions how tough he is to take down. This 594 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: is a guy who battles for every inch every yard. 595 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: Then you have Jordan Wilkins as well, and one of 596 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: the things that Jordan brings is a ton of patients. 597 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: He also has a ton of balance. It's incredible to 598 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: see what he is able to do in yards after 599 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: contact on certain places. So the run game overall, you're 600 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: not seeing the staggering statistics maybe that you did last 601 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: season with Marlon Mack and that group collectively, but you 602 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: are seeing them continue to mix things up. They're playing 603 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 1: the hot hand game by game. It's been a different 604 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: guy here there. Jordan Wilkins had a big, great game 605 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: once and then it's going to be Taylor, and then 606 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Hid. So it's been much more by 607 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: committee and playing to what the defenses are given you 608 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: weekend and week go. Part of the reason with the 609 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: running game not being what it normally has been, especially 610 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: in that Titans loss, was the loss of your left 611 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: tackle Anthony Costanzo. What can you tell us about him? 612 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: I saw that he had a knee injury. Doesn't sound 613 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: great for playing against the Texans. So if he can go, 614 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: what's the solution there at left tackle for the Poles. 615 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: Sprained mcl is the diagnosis on Anthony Costanzo, so waiting 616 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: to see what the timetable is, and we saw a 617 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: preview of just how impactful that loss was because he 618 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 1: missed the game earlier in this season at Cleveland win 619 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: the Colt loss to the Browns. And not only are 620 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: you down Anthony Costanzo now, but also against Tennessee, you 621 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,439 Speaker 1: didn't have your starting center in Ryan Kelly. So at 622 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: center you have a rookie in Danny Pincer out of 623 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: ball State. He started out collegiately as a tight end 624 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: before converting to the offensive line. Sunday's game was the 625 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: first time he ever started in any level of football 626 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: at center. And you're coming in for a guy and 627 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,959 Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly, who is a Pro bowler. There's a reason 628 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 1: he's signed a fifty million dollar contract in the offseason. 629 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: He's incredibly valuable to this offense, especially with a seventeen 630 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,720 Speaker 1: year veteran there at quarterback. So you had Danny Pincer 631 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: at center in place of Ryan Kelly. Then when Anthony 632 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: Costanzo left the game, you had l Raven Clark coming 633 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: in at that left tackle position. So you have your 634 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: center and left tackle both out against of course, the 635 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,280 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, a major divisional opponent, so just you lost 636 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: some of that continuity and we have heard how important 637 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: that was last year for this Colts offensive line. They 638 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: started all sixteen games together in twenty nineteen. So you're 639 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: seeing those guy guys who are coming in and Larive 640 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: and Clarks, the guy who's had a few years within 641 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: this system. But it's a difference when you're going from 642 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: Anthony Gustanzo. There's a reason he's the starter. There's a 643 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: reason that he decided to not retire this offseason and 644 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: come back to play another year. Signed a two year deal, 645 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: so hopefully we get him for two years here with Indianapolis. 646 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: But Danny Pinter, you saw, really played solid in his 647 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: debut at center for the Colts, and then you have 648 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: lar Raven Clark. What they do have on this offensive 649 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: line is you also have Chaz Green available. So we've 650 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: seen in other situations this season where it's been a 651 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: trade off between lar Raven and Chaz in some different situations. 652 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: So it will be interesting to see what they do 653 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: this week because based on a sprained MCL, just the 654 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: familiarity with a severity of that injury, it's doesn't appear 655 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: to be season ending, I would say, but you're certainly 656 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 1: thinking at least a week or two on Anthony Costanzo, 657 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: so waiting for the outcome on exactly what that's going 658 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: to be. The other scenario that was proposed this week 659 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: is do you look at the other side of the 660 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 1: line and think about shifting somebody from right over to 661 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,879 Speaker 1: left and then you know, playing personnel differently in that way. 662 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 1: So that's another thing to look for as well. If 663 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: we have a little bit of a rotation there a 664 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: little carousel on the offensive line, and maybe your guys 665 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: from the right side shifting over to the left at 666 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: least in the interim period of time. Anyway, something to watch. Certainly. 667 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,760 Speaker 1: The Colts defense is something that we've heard a lot 668 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 1: about this this season, and Romeo Cornell was asked about 669 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: them a little bit earlier in the week and he 670 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,240 Speaker 1: said they were playing shorthanded against the Titans. That's definitely 671 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: not the defense that we're used to seeing. And I 672 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: have to think he's thinking about All Pro defensive tackle 673 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: DeForrest Buckner, because teams have not been able to really 674 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: run the ball against the Colts, with the exception of 675 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. He was the only one hundred yard rusher 676 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: and he was able to that twice. But Sunday's loss, 677 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: I mean, he really had a big day against a 678 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: Colts defense that was without Buckner. So has Buckner really 679 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: solidified himself as the MVP of that defense because it 680 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,359 Speaker 1: seems like when he's in the game, he makes such 681 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: a difference on what opposing teams are able to do 682 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 1: on the ground. His impact on this defense is infectious. 683 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: I mean not only on your front, but I mean 684 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: his presence has felt all the way through this defense 685 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 1: and creating opportunities for your linebackers in your secondary as well. 686 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: Worth noting not even just divorced Buckner on Sunday. Also, 687 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: you were without Deniko Autry and your linebacker Bobbio Greiki. 688 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: So there were some definite glaring holes on that defense. 689 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: And you have a lot of confidence in the guys 690 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: playing behind them, of course, but there's just no replacement. 691 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: There's a reason you traded the thirteenth overall pick for 692 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: Big number ninety nine. You saw what he did in 693 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,919 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl against Patrick Mahomes. We know the imposing 694 00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: presence that he has on that defensive both in the 695 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 1: past and in the running game, it is really difficult 696 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: to replace that guy, like to Forrest Buckner, he's just 697 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: a game rucker. You have those type of guys. You 698 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: guys have seen them season after a season on your 699 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 1: own defense, right, Who are those game changing type of players? 700 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: So you look at de Forrest and you look at 701 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: the type of seasons that he is contributing to. For 702 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: guys like Grover Stewart, who just got the big payday 703 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: with a contract extension. He's having a career here, Denico 704 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: Autry has been playing incredibly well. And then that awesome 705 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 1: linebacking contingent that you have led by Darius Leonard, Anthony 706 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: Walker and Bobby Okariki. We have Xavier Rhodes in the 707 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: secondary who appears to be almost back to Pro Bowl 708 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: form as we've seen before. The new guy, of course 709 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 1: within your DV room coming over from from the Vikings. 710 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: So yes, de Forrest Buckner is one of those pieces. 711 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: I don't know that you want to say you're replaceable, 712 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: but it's to that level when you're talking about a 713 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 1: guy of his significance, his impact, because when you have 714 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: a guy up there up front on the defensive line, 715 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: you know that offenses are gonna have to game plan 716 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: for him. They're circling him right there. You've got to 717 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: be aware of exactly where he is. And when you 718 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 1: talk about those quarterbacks who are so elusive, like a 719 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, guys who have the ability to extend place 720 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: make plays with their feet, also just drop bombs in 721 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: the air. You need a big force like that upfront 722 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: to disrupt things within an opposing offense. All right, well, 723 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: you mentioned your secondary, So that brings us to our 724 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,760 Speaker 1: next gen staff presented by AWS. The Cults are actually 725 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: fifth in the league with twelve takeaways this year. So 726 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: what's been the key to Matt Eberflus's defense getting all 727 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: those takeaways this year. The word that they've hinged on 728 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: this season is opportunistic. That's the word that they keep 729 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,880 Speaker 1: on playing too. That keeps getting brought up when we 730 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: have conversations with this defense. Because of the pressure you're 731 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: getting up front, because of how well your linebackers are tackling, 732 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: that's creating great opportunities within your secondary. Four takeaways. I 733 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: mean guys like Xavier Roads, rookie Julian Blackman, who has 734 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: just been so impressive this season, t J. Kerrey has 735 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: stepped in and played for Kenny Moore in some different points, 736 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: and Kenny, you know, still remains as one of the 737 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: top slot corners you know in the league. So there 738 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,399 Speaker 1: are all of these guys, all those moving parts, incredible 739 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: talent that you have. But mostly I think that it 740 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: is when they've had the opportunities to have those takeaways, 741 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: they've exploited them, they've capitalized on them, and that that's 742 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: again the presence that you feel from that really strong 743 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 1: front led by de Forrest Buckner, and then just having 744 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 1: playmakers across the board. I mean guys like Darius and 745 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: what he's able to do in terms of just moving 746 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 1: all over the field chasing guys down. It's incredible in 747 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: terms of the impact that they're able to have on 748 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: this defense and how they've positioned this defense now is 749 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: one of the top in the league. Matt Eberflus Is 750 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: it has to be the scary thing for Colts fans 751 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: is certainly you have to think that he's high on 752 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: the list. As you're seeing some coaching vacancies pop up 753 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: or head coaching roles across the league, a lot of 754 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: people certainly have to be having conversations about Matt Eberflus, 755 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 1: certainly earning the opportunity potentially, if it is something that 756 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: he's interested in, to potentially do just that. Certainly have 757 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: heard his name in coaching talks for some of these 758 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: head coaching candidates that are opening up around the league, 759 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: certainly the Texans as well, one of those teams. All Right, 760 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: before I let you go, a story that's really intrigued 761 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: me is one about the Colts punter. And I really 762 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it when I read it. But you know, 763 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: he had a cancer diagnosis, he still played in the 764 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 1: game Sunday and now he's undergone surgery. Tell me more. 765 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 1: Rigo Berto Sanchez, he had a tweet he posted on 766 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: social media on Monday that he does have a cancerous tumor, 767 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: having surgery tuesday to remove that. He learned of the 768 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 1: diagnosis last week prior to that home game against the 769 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, had conversations with the coaching staff and certainly 770 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: the medical staff to decide whether or not it would 771 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 1: be safe for him to play, whether there would be 772 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,320 Speaker 1: any risk for him to play, and when it was 773 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: deemed that there was not. He has such incredible heart 774 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: that he was like I'm absolutely going to take this 775 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 1: opportunity to play with my team, to play for my team, 776 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 1: not knowing when that next opportunity is going to come. 777 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: So certainly that team is rallying around Rigo. This community 778 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: has rallied around him because he is He's very well 779 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: respected in terms of a punter across the league, but 780 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 1: I can tell you within this locker room, within this city, 781 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: he means that much more. Just as a leader, the 782 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: ambassador that he is, you cannot find a more genuine, 783 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: more kind person. He's incredibly strong in his faith. He 784 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: mentioned that in his post that he and his wife 785 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: are certainly relying on their faith in God to see 786 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: them through this journey. So certainly all of the prayers 787 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: and thoughts from this Colts organization going to Rigo and 788 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: his wife for a full recovery and certainly first and 789 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 1: foremost to see him back, to see him healthy and 790 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 1: then eventually getting him back onto the playing field. But 791 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 1: that was something that struck this organization, this locker room, 792 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,760 Speaker 1: this community very hard, very significantly on Monday. And looking 793 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,840 Speaker 1: forward to hopefully getting some updates here soon from Rigo 794 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 1: on his progress with the surgery and then any treatment 795 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: that follows, certainly wishing him and his family all the 796 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: best as he works his way back. Lara, thank you 797 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: so much as always for the time. It's been a pleasure, 798 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 1: and you know what, I'll see you again in a 799 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 1: few weeks. How about it. I'm mad I'm gonna have 800 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: to miss my trip to Houston, because not only do 801 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: I get to see you, it also has the best 802 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: press box food that I think in the league. You 803 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: guys hold that for sure. Pittsburgh is pretty good food. 804 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 1: You guys are right up there. So that's one of 805 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,359 Speaker 1: the things that I'll have to miss this season. But hey, 806 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, we'll make up for it. That's right. 807 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: We'll save you some barbecue and some Texamax next year, 808 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: how about it? All right? Thanks so much, Lara, see 809 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: in a few weeks. Great stuff there from Lara Overton 810 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 1: and Deep Situ will be right back with more of 811 00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:01,319 Speaker 1: Texans All Access next do it's a single thing on 812 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 1: your favorite team, follow It's on Twitter at Houston Texans. 813 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:11,319 Speaker 1: This is Texans Radio. Two is better than one. How 814 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: many times have you heard that one more than once? 815 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: I bet, because it just adds up. For example, there 816 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: are two, not one. Great reasons to fill up with 817 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:23,240 Speaker 1: Chevron with Techron number one unbeatable cleaning power, a number 818 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,800 Speaker 1: two or maybe this should be number one unbeatable mileage. 819 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: Plus Chevron puts Techron in every grade every gallant of 820 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 1: their gasoline. So that's two, no, way, three unbeatable reasons 821 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 1: to go with the one and only Chevron with Tekron 822 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 1: care for your car. Another hot day and Houston A 823 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: game gets underway. Here's the kickoff, Clarkpie Dyken. They're really 824 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: stepping it up for Houston. Jim Like all that financial 825 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,240 Speaker 1: assistance they gave for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. Yeah, Steve, 826 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 1: they gained a lot of yardage on that one. Here's 827 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 1: and look at that donation to Habitat for Humanity. Did 828 00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: you see all those ac units they provided for low 829 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 1: income housing.

Now. Next Gen Stats puts out every single 919 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 1: week a passing chart and it's always fascinating to look at. 920 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 1: And I always each week I look at each quarterbacks 921 00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,440 Speaker 1: chart and try and fill Okay, what tendencies can I find? 922 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: And you look at some and it's just a scatterplot. Man. 923 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 1: They're all over the place. Some guys, they're just these 924 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 1: throws like in this little in this little pocket or 925 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 1: this area. The Shawn's I think, as crazy as it sounds, 926 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:52,799 Speaker 1: I like the ones that are kind of all over 927 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 1: the place because it just shows the width and breadth 928 00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:02,319 Speaker 1: of the Shawn using the entire field. This stat though, 929 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 1: from AWS, I think is absolutely fantastic. On ten plus 930 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 1: air yard passes against Detroit, so any throw he had 931 00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:21,920 Speaker 1: ten throws that were in the air longer than ten yards. 932 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:28,440 Speaker 1: The seawan was eight of ten for two hundred thirty 933 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 1: nine yards and three touchdowns. So that was the fleet flicker, 934 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,839 Speaker 1: the deep ball to Will, and then the touchdown throw 935 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:40,240 Speaker 1: to Duke Johnson. Those are the three touchdowns that he had. 936 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 1: The four touchdown was the one he threw to CJ. Prosise, 937 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,960 Speaker 1: which was just a little, you know, dump off pass 938 00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 1: kind of like it wasn't a playoff game. Three touchdowns 939 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:53,600 Speaker 1: Dukes was nineteen yards, then the flee flicker was thirty 940 00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,360 Speaker 1: four I think, and then the bomb to Will was 941 00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,920 Speaker 1: forty yards. Eight of ten two hundred and thirty nine yards, 942 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. I mean, that's an amazing Those are amazing numbers. 943 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,839 Speaker 1: And then you look at the past chart and it's 944 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 1: just I mean, the passes are all over the place. 945 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 1: And when you look at the chart, if you go 946 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,280 Speaker 1: to next Gen Stats to check them out, you can see, 947 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,439 Speaker 1: i mean intermediate areas all across the field green dot, 948 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 1: green dot, green dot that means completion, and the blue 949 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 1: dots are touchdowns down the field on the left side, 950 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:33,040 Speaker 1: throughout the field on the green. It's it's pretty incredible. 951 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,440 Speaker 1: But to go eight for ten for two thirty nine 952 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,760 Speaker 1: and three touchdowns on the passes that traveled ten yards 953 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 1: or more. That's that's kind of nice. Now there will 954 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,320 Speaker 1: be no Will Fuller, so that might impact it a 955 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: little bit, but Sean's been playing at that clip pretty 956 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,359 Speaker 1: much all season long. All right, Let's get to some 957 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 1: transactions that happened, I think maybe a short time before 958 00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,839 Speaker 1: the show started, so I figured, you know what, let's 959 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,440 Speaker 1: get at them in and discuss them. I don't know 960 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,840 Speaker 1: there's anything earth shouting, but there are a couple of 961 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:10,279 Speaker 1: interesting aspects here. Number One, Texans signed Corey Leegit to 962 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:14,240 Speaker 1: the active roster. Now, Legit had been kind of bouncing 963 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,799 Speaker 1: back and forth between practice on practice squad. Then they 964 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,680 Speaker 1: would bring him up practic squad, bring him up. You 965 00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 1: can only do that three times until you have to 966 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,560 Speaker 1: make a decision what you're gonna do with the guy. 967 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 1: And in this case, they're bringing Corey Legit up to 968 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,759 Speaker 1: the roster to add to that defensive line. We know 969 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,920 Speaker 1: that defensive line has been banged up this year, so 970 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:36,160 Speaker 1: Corey Legit steps up, moves up to the defensive line 971 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 1: on a permanent basis. No, Texans did sign a couple 972 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,880 Speaker 1: of free agents to the practice squad, one Manny Patterson 973 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 1: from University of Maine. He's a rookie five ten hundred 974 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,040 Speaker 1: and eighty pounder. The other one is a name that 975 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 1: people in Houston may be familiar with, not from college, 976 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:57,319 Speaker 1: but from high school. Jamal Moore sixty three two oh 977 00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 1: five wide receiver. I want to say he was drafting 978 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 1: the third fourth round. I think it was the Packers 979 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,239 Speaker 1: that maybe drafted him. He's out of Missouri, went the 980 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 1: University of Missouri, but he played at Elkins High Squad 981 00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,399 Speaker 1: in four Penn District. And I actually had a chance 982 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 1: to catch up with your mom back I think it 983 00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,239 Speaker 1: was at the Senior Bowl a few years ago. So 984 00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:17,799 Speaker 1: he joins the practice squad long. I mean he looks ironically, 985 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,319 Speaker 1: he's a lot like Isaiah Coulter from size perspective. He's 986 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:22,919 Speaker 1: only twenty five years old, he's been in the league 987 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 1: for a couple of years, and he goes to the 988 00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:29,000 Speaker 1: practice squad and the last nugget pretty important because of 989 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 1: one guy in particular. Now, I don't want to I 990 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,040 Speaker 1: don't want to pooh pooh in some sense the impact 991 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,200 Speaker 1: of Kyle Emmanuel. But he's not a guy that a 992 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,799 Speaker 1: lot of people were relying on this year, however, the 993 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 1: Texans have activated the twenty one day practice window for 994 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 1: both Kyle Emmanuel inside linebacker, special teams guy and David 995 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:54,040 Speaker 1: Johnson running back.

We were in exclusive one on one. 1116 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,800 Speaker 1: We would add this on Monday night on The Coaches Show, 1117 01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:39,720 Speaker 1: but because of the news of Will Fuller, we decided 1118 01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 1: to just scrap it for the time being move on. 1119 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,640 Speaker 1: But it was such good stuff we definitely wanted to 1120 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 1: play it for you. So here's the voice the Texans, 1121 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 1: Mark Vandimer with Anthony Weaver. Well, tell us what's been 1122 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,440 Speaker 1: going right for you? Because we talked about your defensive 1123 01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 1: performance even after the Browns game, and there was some 1124 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 1: good thing is that you could take from that game. 1125 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 1: I know you wanted to eliminate the fourth quarter, but man, 1126 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,920 Speaker 1: you take that fourth quarter out, you look at Jacksonville, 1127 01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 1: you look at the Patriots, and elements of what you 1128 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 1: did against Detroit, and overall the defense is really trending 1129 01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:13,920 Speaker 1: upward here. Coach, what do you attribute that too? And 1130 01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:15,960 Speaker 1: what are you doing well that you really like right now? 1131 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,280 Speaker 1: I think it's just been a commitment by our players 1132 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,680 Speaker 1: to go out of there and get better every single day. 1133 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,120 Speaker 1: I think they're gaining they're gaining more trust in the scheme, 1134 01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,840 Speaker 1: they're gaining trust and confidence in each other, and they're 1135 01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,200 Speaker 1: playing for one another. And anytime you do that, you 1136 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 1: have a chance to be successful. But in terms of 1137 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,080 Speaker 1: just football us and those where obviously we've done better 1138 01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,080 Speaker 1: the past four or five weeks. You know, besides the 1139 01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 1: quarter here against the run, you know, you go back 1140 01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:43,800 Speaker 1: to the Green Bay game. I know we lost that 1141 01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:45,320 Speaker 1: game and it didn't look pretty, but we did a 1142 01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,080 Speaker 1: good job against the run. Versus Jacksonville, we did a 1143 01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,600 Speaker 1: good job against the run. And what I continue to 1144 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,280 Speaker 1: try to preach to these guys is that in thisly 1145 01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,480 Speaker 1: you have to earn the right to rush the passer, 1146 01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,320 Speaker 1: all right, And the only way that you can do that, 1147 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:02,800 Speaker 1: obviously is by by stopping the run and discouraging offenses 1148 01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 1: and offensive coordinators from running the football. And we've we've 1149 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 1: been able to do that the past four weeks. Yeah, 1150 01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,240 Speaker 1: I love that, earning the right to rush the passer. Now, 1151 01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,280 Speaker 1: when you play against the run, when you played better 1152 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,760 Speaker 1: against the run, you mentioned x's and ows, and that's 1153 01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 1: got to be a huge part of it, of course, 1154 01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:20,439 Speaker 1: But also you talked about playing for each other, playing 1155 01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,800 Speaker 1: with passion and the oof that goes into that. How 1156 01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,080 Speaker 1: do you coach that? Where does that come from? How 1157 01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 1: does that come along? Because you've seen it from all sides, player, 1158 01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 1: coach and whatever else. Yeah, And I think you know, 1159 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,560 Speaker 1: people say that players are reflection of their coach, and 1160 01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:41,600 Speaker 1: I know that in a normal media type interview setting, 1161 01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 1: I'm a very mild mannered guy, all right, that that 1162 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,240 Speaker 1: isn't always the case obviously once I once I get 1163 01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:53,240 Speaker 1: in front of my players, But defensive players in particularly, 1164 01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:57,200 Speaker 1: they need to play with a grittiness, with a chip, 1165 01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:01,760 Speaker 1: with an aggression that can and overcome mistakes. At times. 1166 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,400 Speaker 1: There's times that guys are going to try to trigger 1167 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,080 Speaker 1: and instinctually try to make a play, and they may 1168 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:09,880 Speaker 1: not make it. I take, for example, when Lonnie Johnson, 1169 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 1: he missed that tackle was on third and like eleven 1170 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,760 Speaker 1: or something, all right, and they converted the first down. Now, 1171 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:16,640 Speaker 1: while Lonnie missed that tackle, one of the only like 1172 01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:18,640 Speaker 1: five or six miss tackles we had in the last game, 1173 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,840 Speaker 1: which was a tribute to those guys and definitely a 1174 01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 1: step up from where we were early in the season. 1175 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,440 Speaker 1: But when you watch that play, there were three or 1176 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:29,200 Speaker 1: four guys sprinting out of the stack, sprinting from the 1177 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,600 Speaker 1: post to make sure that we got that guy on 1178 01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,360 Speaker 1: the ground and minimize the game. And when you have 1179 01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 1: eleven guys just committed and aggressive and physical and hunting 1180 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,320 Speaker 1: the ball on each and every play, that's when you 1181 01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,640 Speaker 1: start to build a good defense. And I think we're 1182 01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,560 Speaker 1: trending that way. Yeah, because there's still so much season 1183 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:50,640 Speaker 1: to play. I mean, I know that the Texans did 1184 01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,240 Speaker 1: not get off to the kind of start you wanted, 1185 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:54,840 Speaker 1: but but you're making a little bit of a run now. 1186 01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 1: And do you feel that the a sense that with 1187 01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:59,440 Speaker 1: the players that hey, we got a little something going here, 1188 01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,560 Speaker 1: and you know, get the standings. We're playing well onto ourselves. 1189 01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:07,320 Speaker 1: Do you feel that, absolutely? Absolutely this game? Having been 1190 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,160 Speaker 1: there in this league as a player and now as 1191 01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,440 Speaker 1: the coach, if you don't have confidence, you don't have 1192 01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,200 Speaker 1: a chance. And I think as a team right now, 1193 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,920 Speaker 1: we're starting to develop some confidence. We know we have 1194 01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,040 Speaker 1: the ability to go out there and compete with anybody 1195 01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:22,960 Speaker 1: that we play with. But now that we have the 1196 01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,560 Speaker 1: confidence to go along with that ability, I think it 1197 01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,000 Speaker 1: gives us a better chance to win each and every 1198 01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,880 Speaker 1: single game. I know Johnny would have asked this question 1199 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:35,120 Speaker 1: about the players having so much passion and juice before 1200 01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:37,440 Speaker 1: that Detroit game. You have no fans in the building 1201 01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,200 Speaker 1: on a Thanksgiving Detroit game, which is usually like a 1202 01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 1: bowl game for them, and you can probably feel the 1203 01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:46,720 Speaker 1: electricity just naturally that way you guys brought it yourself 1204 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,640 Speaker 1: on a short week. How important was that, especially on 1205 01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,200 Speaker 1: your side of the football. It's it's incredibly important. And 1206 01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:56,960 Speaker 1: that's that's so much different than how we responded earlier 1207 01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,720 Speaker 1: in the season to those those empty seats. Give Detroit credit. 1208 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:02,120 Speaker 1: They do a heck of a job. When we run 1209 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 1: out of that tunnel, as a Houston Texans, it was 1210 01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,920 Speaker 1: dead silent as you know in that stadium, you know, 1211 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:09,840 Speaker 1: and then Detroit comes, they played music and every day 1212 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 1: they started to get her. Hey, you just talk about 1213 01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,840 Speaker 1: like a just a mind, like to try to mess 1214 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 1: with your mind going into the game. That was a 1215 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,120 Speaker 1: heck of a job by that. But it's such a 1216 01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,719 Speaker 1: it's such a weird environment to play the game of football, 1217 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,560 Speaker 1: and that you have to bring your own juice. You 1218 01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,240 Speaker 1: have to be self motivated, you have to create that 1219 01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,760 Speaker 1: feeling that you would have if there were sixty five 1220 01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,479 Speaker 1: thousand people in the stand. And like I said, that 1221 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,480 Speaker 1: comes along with with again our guys just getting confidence 1222 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:41,280 Speaker 1: and being now familiar more familiar with that environment and 1223 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,320 Speaker 1: knowing what it's going to take to win and having 1224 01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,599 Speaker 1: to play with that energy and that passion that fire. 1225 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,040 Speaker 1: All right, I want to talk about the way you're 1226 01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,240 Speaker 1: playing and everything and ask you about some specific players, 1227 01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:51,560 Speaker 1: but I want to talk about the Colts here for 1228 01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,519 Speaker 1: a moment, coach, because you know, just you and me 1229 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 1: talking here about Indianapolis, and let's harken back to your 1230 01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,560 Speaker 1: days as a Houston Texans player because I know that, 1231 01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you've been a part of some really interesting 1232 01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,719 Speaker 1: battles with the Colts as a player and a coach, 1233 01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:07,920 Speaker 1: and you were on the field when the Texans beat 1234 01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:09,799 Speaker 1: the Colts for the first time, right in two thousand 1235 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 1: and six. Yeah, that was when Chris Chris hit that shit, 1236 01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,400 Speaker 1: that long field goal right now. Yeah, I mean that 1237 01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,400 Speaker 1: was awesome. Take me back there, because you knew with 1238 01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,320 Speaker 1: that man, even though you weren't here for the early years, 1239 01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:21,120 Speaker 1: but you knew what it meant to beat the Colts 1240 01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:24,120 Speaker 1: for the first time. Remember, that was a very special day. Yeah. 1241 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:27,599 Speaker 1: Obviously back then they were kind of the gold standard 1242 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:32,519 Speaker 1: in the division. You had Peyton Manning, Pyn Manning, Marvin Harrison, 1243 01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:37,000 Speaker 1: m guys, what was the what was the kid from Miami? 1244 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 1: What was the other receivers? Reggie Wayne, Reggie Wayne? All Right, 1245 01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,960 Speaker 1: So we knew like they were the guys. They were 1246 01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:44,960 Speaker 1: the guy you had to knockoff you had any chance 1247 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,760 Speaker 1: of competing and winning in the AFC South. Those were 1248 01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,320 Speaker 1: the guys you needed to knock off. So for us, 1249 01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,479 Speaker 1: as a fairly young organization and a fairly young team 1250 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:56,679 Speaker 1: at that time, we knew how much weight that game 1251 01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:00,120 Speaker 1: carried and to do that for the first time in 1252 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,640 Speaker 1: the history, that's for the franchise it was. It was 1253 01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 1: such a tremendous ceiling. Um. But uh, those guys, man, 1254 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,519 Speaker 1: I tell you what, man, that's that's a team that 1255 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,200 Speaker 1: I know Tennessee was for me. I know that that's 1256 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:16,160 Speaker 1: a rivalry, all right, But but the Indianapolis Colts, for 1257 01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:18,960 Speaker 1: whatever reason here in Houston, that's the team that that 1258 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:22,320 Speaker 1: me personally that I always feel like we need to 1259 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:26,160 Speaker 1: knock these guys off. There's just something I know. There's 1260 01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:31,240 Speaker 1: something Notre damey about them. You know, there's men talking 1261 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 1: from it as a fort riyersman, but they there's something 1262 01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:35,479 Speaker 1: about them where you just like that when was the 1263 01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:37,120 Speaker 1: last time they won the division? And you would never 1264 01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,360 Speaker 1: know that, You would never know it. There's still there's 1265 01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:42,080 Speaker 1: still a rabato about them that makes you think that 1266 01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 1: they're the ones you got to knock off. So um. 1267 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,240 Speaker 1: And I tell you one painful memory I have. I 1268 01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:50,839 Speaker 1: have a couple. I mean, on Thursday, Thursday night Thanksgiving, 1269 01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:52,400 Speaker 1: I was there for the buck Bumbo in New York, 1270 01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:54,600 Speaker 1: all right, I was on the sideline to that. But 1271 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:56,840 Speaker 1: you remember, I think it was two thousand and eight. 1272 01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:00,360 Speaker 1: We were up like seventeen points on that course and 1273 01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,439 Speaker 1: they came back at home that was when Stage had 1274 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,160 Speaker 1: the helicopter. You know, you got hit for the that one, 1275 01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:09,479 Speaker 1: that one, that memory of that loss will forever sit 1276 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:11,320 Speaker 1: with me in the pit of my stomach. And every 1277 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:14,080 Speaker 1: time I see that could uniform across from me, I think, 1278 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:17,120 Speaker 1: we gotta, we gotta. I need to get some revenge 1279 01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,600 Speaker 1: for them for that game. From here until the end 1280 01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:21,200 Speaker 1: of the time, as long as I'm in that league, 1281 01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,519 Speaker 1: That's what that game is always going to remind me, like, 1282 01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,439 Speaker 1: we need to play hard and we need to win 1283 01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,479 Speaker 1: this striking game. Yep. That was two thousand and eight, 1284 01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,240 Speaker 1: and that was that was a rough one. There have 1285 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,200 Speaker 1: been some wild ones with them. And you joined the 1286 01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,479 Speaker 1: team as a coach in sixteen, right, so you were 1287 01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:37,840 Speaker 1: part of a sweep that year, the Thursday Night come 1288 01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,000 Speaker 1: back and obviously they swept. In seventeen eighteen, it was 1289 01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,639 Speaker 1: you got a victory, but you also had the playoff loss. 1290 01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,400 Speaker 1: So here they are coach and in twenty twenty with 1291 01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,920 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers at quarterback, and it's still bizarre for me 1292 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,519 Speaker 1: to see him in a cult uniform. But you know 1293 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,680 Speaker 1: they I know it didn't work out on Sunday for them, 1294 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,280 Speaker 1: But what do you make of what you see in 1295 01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:00,880 Speaker 1: this group offensively right now, they're an excellent but team. Obviously, 1296 01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:03,439 Speaker 1: anytime you put a future Hall of Famer back there 1297 01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:06,360 Speaker 1: at quarterback, it's only gonna make him better. He's seeing 1298 01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 1: every coverage, he's seeing every defense, and he can make 1299 01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,840 Speaker 1: He can still make almost every throat. I know he 1300 01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 1: may not have the mobility he once had, but he 1301 01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:18,800 Speaker 1: still has that competitive fire and intellect to go out 1302 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,680 Speaker 1: there and win every single game. And then they got 1303 01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:25,120 Speaker 1: a really really good offensive line. They still got t 1304 01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,639 Speaker 1: Y Hilton, they got the he and Hines kid number 1305 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:30,799 Speaker 1: twenty one, who they've been using a lot at tailback, 1306 01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:34,040 Speaker 1: who has got breakaway speed and can take anytime he 1307 01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,720 Speaker 1: has the ball, they can score. So they have a 1308 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:40,000 Speaker 1: really good football team with very good, complimentary pieces around Philip, 1309 01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:42,280 Speaker 1: and it'll be a challenge for us on Sunday. Absolutely. 1310 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,400 Speaker 1: What about their offensive line, because it really is one 1311 01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:48,080 Speaker 1: of the better lines in the pro game, And what 1312 01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 1: do you think of them? And when you're facing a 1313 01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:53,759 Speaker 1: really good offensive line, what are some of the challenges 1314 01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 1: that you have. I Mean, I know everybody's unique here, 1315 01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:57,560 Speaker 1: but what are some of the challenges you have and 1316 01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,880 Speaker 1: facing this group? I think the it's always probably in 1317 01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,320 Speaker 1: the front seven, all right. That that offensive line there, 1318 01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,640 Speaker 1: they're led by the Quinton Nelson kid. He's kind of 1319 01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:07,760 Speaker 1: the bell cal for him. He kind of sets the 1320 01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 1: tempo for that unit. He plays with an edge to 1321 01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,320 Speaker 1: him that forces all those other guys around him to 1322 01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:16,439 Speaker 1: kind of play with that same edge and keep up. 1323 01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:20,000 Speaker 1: And as a front seven, I think it's important obviously 1324 01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:22,960 Speaker 1: to understand the challenge in front of you and to 1325 01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,360 Speaker 1: respond accordingly. We got to know what type of game 1326 01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:28,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's gonna be grimy, it's gonna be physical, 1327 01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:30,920 Speaker 1: and we have to answer the call. And I think 1328 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,200 Speaker 1: whenever you can you see that line of scrimmage, stay 1329 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 1: on the line of stay at that yard line or 1330 01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,800 Speaker 1: getting knocked back, then you'll know we're doing our job 1331 01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,920 Speaker 1: up front. But um, but yeah, they're well coached, they 1332 01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,519 Speaker 1: play hard, They have a very good scheme and obviously 1333 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:46,280 Speaker 1: Philippie he knows when to put him in the right 1334 01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:48,680 Speaker 1: situations to run the ball in approvable. Tell me a 1335 01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,120 Speaker 1: little bit about the D line right now with no PJ. 1336 01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:54,400 Speaker 1: Hall and operating without him, and how you been setting 1337 01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:58,599 Speaker 1: things up and guys doing their jobs. Yeah, we've we've 1338 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,679 Speaker 1: put some guys in the in situations they hit relatively 1339 01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,280 Speaker 1: haven't been in the past. You know. Carl Carlos Watkins's 1340 01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:08,240 Speaker 1: with our backup nose tackle last game, you know, and 1341 01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,760 Speaker 1: went in there and spell Brandon Done at times and 1342 01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:12,439 Speaker 1: did a heck of a job. Brandon Done has been 1343 01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,640 Speaker 1: forced to step up this game obviously. You know, you 1344 01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:16,600 Speaker 1: come into season, you lose a DJ Reader who was 1345 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,120 Speaker 1: obviously an anchor in there for us, and Done he 1346 01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 1: has stepped in there and done a really good job. 1347 01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:25,040 Speaker 1: Charles Amenna, who who's come back from industry from injury 1348 01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:27,519 Speaker 1: and had a really good game this previous game. And 1349 01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,880 Speaker 1: obviously we always put a lot of heavy lifting on JJ. 1350 01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,400 Speaker 1: You know, JJ goes out there, plays multiple spots for 1351 01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,640 Speaker 1: him for us. We asked him to be disruptive and 1352 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,040 Speaker 1: be a game changer, and so far this season we've 1353 01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,559 Speaker 1: done that. You know. But I also I don't want 1354 01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,160 Speaker 1: to neglect the outside linebacker group either. You know. Whitney 1355 01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,960 Speaker 1: Merciless does a bunch of thankless jobs for this group 1356 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:47,400 Speaker 1: and continues to put up numbers in terms of sacks. 1357 01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:50,920 Speaker 1: Drop him into coverage and never complains about it, always 1358 01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:52,640 Speaker 1: shows up with a smile on his face and just 1359 01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:54,840 Speaker 1: does what he's asked to do. And then a guy 1360 01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,680 Speaker 1: like Jacob Martin, who plays a very similar role for us. 1361 01:14:57,800 --> 01:14:59,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes you see him. I mean, the last played the 1362 01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:03,360 Speaker 1: game against the Detroit Lions. He was playing post safety. 1363 01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:06,439 Speaker 1: I want you to think about that, all right. Jacob Martin, 1364 01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:10,120 Speaker 1: number fifty four, was playing post safety, stuck his foot 1365 01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,320 Speaker 1: in the ground, came down and drove on that that 1366 01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,479 Speaker 1: receiver and knocked the ball out. So, um, all those 1367 01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:18,200 Speaker 1: guys up front, they're doing a really good job of Again, 1368 01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:21,559 Speaker 1: I'm finding too what we're doing and accepting the challenges 1369 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:23,840 Speaker 1: of trying to go out there and stop these teams, 1370 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:26,360 Speaker 1: stop these teams from running the ball. Again, there's so 1371 01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,120 Speaker 1: many different elements of what having to pick six. He's 1372 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,479 Speaker 1: done it before, and he hasn't done it in a while, 1373 01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,000 Speaker 1: but he's done it before. So we've seen that. But 1374 01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,600 Speaker 1: you know, at the heart of it, we're looking at 1375 01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:38,920 Speaker 1: a defensive lineman scoring a touchdown. So what does that 1376 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,280 Speaker 1: do for a d line, for a defense to see 1377 01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:43,560 Speaker 1: that kind of thing happened. I mean, I think it 1378 01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,280 Speaker 1: it provides a boost of energy, not just for the 1379 01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:50,760 Speaker 1: defense but for the entire team whenever, whenever somebody, I'm 1380 01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,759 Speaker 1: gonna rewind for a minute so that play happens, okay, 1381 01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:57,360 Speaker 1: And on the headset, the coaches are going, we've great call, 1382 01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:00,439 Speaker 1: great call, and and what I and what I respond with? 1383 01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,439 Speaker 1: This guy that's a great player making a heck of 1384 01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,920 Speaker 1: a play you know, that had that had nothing to 1385 01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:10,479 Speaker 1: do with me and U. And that's that's that's who 1386 01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:13,360 Speaker 1: he is, That's what he is. He's a tremendous football players. 1387 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 1: So those things, when he does it, they don't even 1388 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:19,960 Speaker 1: shock you anymore. They're almost expected. Yeah, it's it's fantastic 1389 01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:21,880 Speaker 1: to see. And he's had his hands on a lot 1390 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,240 Speaker 1: of footballs over the years, where and because he's done 1391 01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,080 Speaker 1: it before, you think, oh, is it going to happen 1392 01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,720 Speaker 1: this time, and you're almost surprised when it doesn't. So 1393 01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:31,360 Speaker 1: when it did, I thought, all right, here we go. 1394 01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 1: We're often running. Yeah. I know, statistically his numbers probably 1395 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:40,760 Speaker 1: don't don't aren't what they've been in the past, but 1396 01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:45,639 Speaker 1: his impact on the game is felt each and every Sunday. 1397 01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:49,599 Speaker 1: And when you talk to opposing coordinators, opposing quarterback coaches, 1398 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:51,600 Speaker 1: they the first thing they say is, man, that that 1399 01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:54,120 Speaker 1: wat kid is playing well for you, and he is, 1400 01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:55,680 Speaker 1: and I hope the record, I know the rest of 1401 01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:59,160 Speaker 1: the league recognizes that too. All right, So Zach Cunningham, 1402 01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:02,240 Speaker 1: you know it's you know, Zach leeds the league and tackles. Okay, 1403 01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:04,160 Speaker 1: you know it's almost like we expect that kind of 1404 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,800 Speaker 1: thing from Zach now, but a little bit on him 1405 01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:10,360 Speaker 1: if you could. And also Adams, Terrell Adams, who's really 1406 01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:12,800 Speaker 1: played well for your coach. I mean, this is yeah, 1407 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,080 Speaker 1: somebody's filling in from ben Ardrick McKinney and boy, you 1408 01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,559 Speaker 1: miss b Mac. But you know you have Adams playing 1409 01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:20,080 Speaker 1: at such a high level for you right now. What 1410 01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,880 Speaker 1: about those two guys. Yeah, First, I think I got 1411 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,320 Speaker 1: to give a little bit of a love to coach King, 1412 01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:29,360 Speaker 1: you know, the loser starting life backer. You know, Dylan 1413 01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:32,400 Speaker 1: Cole has been battling injuries throughout the year, and now 1414 01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:34,880 Speaker 1: you essentially put you put Ta in, who we always 1415 01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:36,800 Speaker 1: had a bunch of trust and faith in, but it's 1416 01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:38,760 Speaker 1: been now has been put in as the leader of 1417 01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,960 Speaker 1: your defense, the primary communicator to both the front and 1418 01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:44,479 Speaker 1: the back end. And then hey, by the way, you 1419 01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:45,880 Speaker 1: should probably go out there and make a couple of 1420 01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,880 Speaker 1: plays too, and that's all, and that's all he's done 1421 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,320 Speaker 1: since he steps in. He's taken on that role. The 1422 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,439 Speaker 1: guys have faith and belief in him, and he's fully 1423 01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,760 Speaker 1: taking command of that hubble. And I'm so proud of 1424 01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,360 Speaker 1: him because he's put in the work to go out 1425 01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 1: there and have this success he's had on the field 1426 01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:05,840 Speaker 1: thus far. Zak Cunningham is a it's just an instinctive 1427 01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:09,599 Speaker 1: ball hawk. I mean at the start of this Detroit game, 1428 01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:11,439 Speaker 1: I thought he was going to have thirty five tackles 1429 01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:14,599 Speaker 1: in the game. He was flying around, he was hunting 1430 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:19,160 Speaker 1: ball carriers and just to see his matturation throughout his 1431 01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,759 Speaker 1: Now I believe this is fourth year of his career. 1432 01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:24,840 Speaker 1: It has been awesome to watch him. There's actually still 1433 01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:27,840 Speaker 1: room for more growth, which should scare the rest of 1434 01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:32,519 Speaker 1: the league. Howbout Justin Reid pass rusher? Justin Reid, never 1435 01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:36,800 Speaker 1: mind safe as Usha, how about that man? I mean 1436 01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:41,799 Speaker 1: Justin Reid another guy. He's an energy giver to the defense. 1437 01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,519 Speaker 1: Right always shows up to practice with a smile on 1438 01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,479 Speaker 1: his face, and he was so happy in that New 1439 01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:49,880 Speaker 1: England game to get his first sack. Right took him 1440 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,080 Speaker 1: three years to get it. And he was thrilled. So 1441 01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:54,560 Speaker 1: just In the in the defensive meeting prior to this, 1442 01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:56,280 Speaker 1: I was like, Jay Reid, I'm like, look, took you 1443 01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:58,000 Speaker 1: three years to get one and took you two weeks 1444 01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:01,080 Speaker 1: to get to so not even a full week. But 1445 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,479 Speaker 1: you know, Justin's the guy who I think you got 1446 01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,439 Speaker 1: to utilize that skill set. Whether it's him or Lonnie 1447 01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,800 Speaker 1: Johnson or Eric Murray or A. J. Moore, those are 1448 01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,240 Speaker 1: all guys who can affect the quarterback and who can rush, 1449 01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:15,639 Speaker 1: who can rush the passer. And the thing about when 1450 01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:19,160 Speaker 1: you bring those guys, those unconventional fourth rushers or fifth rushers, 1451 01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:20,680 Speaker 1: a lot of the times they end up on a 1452 01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:22,920 Speaker 1: running back. And if you can beat a running back, 1453 01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:25,080 Speaker 1: then then you're gonna have a chance to get to 1454 01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,040 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Now, obviously that that that force has got 1455 01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:29,840 Speaker 1: to do some unconventional jobs, like I just told you 1456 01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,680 Speaker 1: put Jacob Martin in the post. But as long as 1457 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,640 Speaker 1: those guys are effective in their in their blitzes and 1458 01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,559 Speaker 1: they're getting to the quarterback, then usually it doesn't really 1459 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:40,960 Speaker 1: expose you from a coverage standpoint. I mean, there's got 1460 01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,000 Speaker 1: to be you as a as a coach. You're a 1461 01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,760 Speaker 1: manager of people. So you talked about Whitney dropping into 1462 01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,479 Speaker 1: coverage or Martin or whatever for a pass rusher. For 1463 01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:50,880 Speaker 1: those guys, now, they like to get out of the quarterback, right, 1464 01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 1: I mean, they get them sacks and everything, But that's 1465 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:55,160 Speaker 1: an important part of the job. So you have to 1466 01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,519 Speaker 1: sort of manage that into them, right that this is 1467 01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:00,439 Speaker 1: good for the entire defense. And I and I think 1468 01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,479 Speaker 1: our guys, our guys do a good job of that one. 1469 01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:06,280 Speaker 1: They just want to win by any means and ever, 1470 01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:09,519 Speaker 1: by any means necessary, however it gets done. But we 1471 01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,560 Speaker 1: have a bunch of guys who again have bought in, 1472 01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,840 Speaker 1: who trust one another, who who are selfless, and I 1473 01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:19,200 Speaker 1: think when you have that, obviously it's going to give 1474 01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:21,680 Speaker 1: you a chance, a chance to win. But I think 1475 01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:23,800 Speaker 1: it's also important that I know those guys want to 1476 01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:25,360 Speaker 1: rust a pastor, I get it, and trust me. I 1477 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:27,679 Speaker 1: try to call as many four men rushes as possible. 1478 01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:32,400 Speaker 1: But I think it's important on defense, particularly for everybody 1479 01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 1: to get an opportunity. You know, whether I call a 1480 01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:36,880 Speaker 1: package and I throw a package in there and have 1481 01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:40,000 Speaker 1: John Reid, who's been battling at Star in practice and 1482 01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:42,519 Speaker 1: studying Stars and his practice is but often doesn't get 1483 01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:44,479 Speaker 1: a whole lot of burn. But I want, I want 1484 01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:46,160 Speaker 1: to play for him where he has a chance an 1485 01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:48,400 Speaker 1: opportunity to go out there and make a play, or 1486 01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:50,479 Speaker 1: Nate Hall, like you saw this last game, to go 1487 01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,160 Speaker 1: out there and get a sack. Those guys are those guys, 1488 01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:55,560 Speaker 1: while they don't get a bunch of mentioned, you know, 1489 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,519 Speaker 1: a bunch of media notoriety, they're putting in work that's 1490 01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,360 Speaker 1: helping us win games on the practice field all right, 1491 01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:05,519 Speaker 1: weekend and week out. So if there's ever a time 1492 01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 1: that I can incorporate something to get those guys as 1493 01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,040 Speaker 1: a part of the game, to essentially reward them for 1494 01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,320 Speaker 1: all the work that they've done for us, I want to. 1495 01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:15,720 Speaker 1: I want to be able to do that. And I 1496 01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:18,760 Speaker 1: think our guys see that too. Defenses are at their 1497 01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,640 Speaker 1: best when everybody can eat and um and that's what 1498 01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:24,200 Speaker 1: we're trying to do here. And I'm glad that Nate 1499 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:27,600 Speaker 1: came up because front Toledo and Northwestern guy and and 1500 01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:29,760 Speaker 1: doing that up there. You know, he knows what that 1501 01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:34,280 Speaker 1: game is. That's that's a huge moment for him. Absolutely absolutely, 1502 01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:36,640 Speaker 1: uh you know, so so proud of Nate, you know, 1503 01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:38,599 Speaker 1: we've been holding them back now for how many weeks? 1504 01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:40,439 Speaker 1: The sack master. We should threw him out there earlier 1505 01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:44,040 Speaker 1: in the week, but but no, I I was stilled 1506 01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:45,880 Speaker 1: for Nate. You know. I made the call in a 1507 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:47,880 Speaker 1: headset and I said, Nate, go get a stack, and 1508 01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:49,519 Speaker 1: he got the one offs. I made the same call 1509 01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,640 Speaker 1: again he got to So so it was it was 1510 01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,600 Speaker 1: awesome and it was really it was relentless effort on 1511 01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:57,840 Speaker 1: his part. It wasn't anything about the call. It was 1512 01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:01,519 Speaker 1: just him just being relentless in his and finding the quarterback. 1513 01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:04,920 Speaker 1: All right, the Amerge Bank asked coach question of the week. 1514 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,519 Speaker 1: All right, so a fan saw you on television on 1515 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,599 Speaker 1: the sideline and they said, it looks like coach Weaver 1516 01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:14,920 Speaker 1: can still play so physically and I think you just 1517 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,120 Speaker 1: turned the big four. Oh right? Am I allowed to 1518 01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:20,280 Speaker 1: say that? Okay, all the summer. So, so how do 1519 01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:22,040 Speaker 1: you feel? I guess that's the question? How do you 1520 01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:25,640 Speaker 1: feel physically after you're playing career? Now you're coaching and 1521 01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:27,320 Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to like stay in the kind of 1522 01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:29,519 Speaker 1: ship you might want to stay in coaching, But how 1523 01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:31,320 Speaker 1: do you feel? How do you do it? With share 1524 01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:33,720 Speaker 1: a little bit of that with us. Oh man, um 1525 01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:39,880 Speaker 1: one definitely cannot play anymore. But but I feel like 1526 01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:41,840 Speaker 1: to fake the funk and kind of look the part. 1527 01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:45,320 Speaker 1: You gotta remember, like, I essentially try to lead a 1528 01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:48,040 Speaker 1: bunch of alpha males, so I can't let my body 1529 01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:50,120 Speaker 1: fall into a position where they feel like they can 1530 01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:54,200 Speaker 1: test me, you know. But no, m You know, I 1531 01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:57,920 Speaker 1: have a beautiful wife who works out a lot, so 1532 01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:01,400 Speaker 1: I try to keep up with her sleeve. With professions, 1533 01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,160 Speaker 1: It's difficult at times, so I try to sneak in, 1534 01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:05,639 Speaker 1: you know, forty fifty push ups now, and then there's 1535 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:07,800 Speaker 1: some body weight spots that I'm certainly not doing what 1536 01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,639 Speaker 1: I did in my playing days. I tell those guys, 1537 01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, Pat Moore and Mike Eubanks. They try to 1538 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:14,080 Speaker 1: get on me and try to get me to go 1539 01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:16,400 Speaker 1: lift more and do these things, and I tell them guys, like, listen, 1540 01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:21,120 Speaker 1: I don't train anymore. I just work out. Okay, So 1541 01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:25,240 Speaker 1: I've been getting elymptical for twenty minutes and that's my workout. 1542 01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,479 Speaker 1: But I certainly am not training anymore by any means. 1543 01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:32,000 Speaker 1: There's a big difference training versus working out. I like 1544 01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,599 Speaker 1: that to think that that's a that's a big difference, now, 1545 01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:37,800 Speaker 1: big difference. I remember being at the combine and I 1546 01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:39,920 Speaker 1: saw you for the first time in years, like since 1547 01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:41,799 Speaker 1: you played and you were coaching. I think we're buffalo 1548 01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,519 Speaker 1: at the time, and uh, and you just look so 1549 01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,439 Speaker 1: I barely I recognize you when I thought, that's not yes, 1550 01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,040 Speaker 1: it is because you lost a lot of weight. How 1551 01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:53,240 Speaker 1: much weight are you down since you're playing dates Oh man. Um. 1552 01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:56,560 Speaker 1: So when I retired in two thousand and nine, so 1553 01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:58,479 Speaker 1: I retired about a week before I got to the 1554 01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:02,280 Speaker 1: University of Florida, was two hundred and ninety six pounds. 1555 01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:05,360 Speaker 1: And then when I left. When I left there, so 1556 01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:08,000 Speaker 1: this was probably what six seven months later, I was 1557 01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,080 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty eight pounds. So I lost about 1558 01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:13,439 Speaker 1: fifty pounds. And I really just I did P ninety X. 1559 01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:15,760 Speaker 1: I did P ninety X. I I had to change 1560 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,040 Speaker 1: my eating habits, which was the toughest part because as 1561 01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:19,519 Speaker 1: a player, like I was always a guy that had 1562 01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:21,200 Speaker 1: to struggle to put on weight. So I could eat whatever. 1563 01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:24,240 Speaker 1: I had to change every I didn't even just an 1564 01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:30,080 Speaker 1: egg white without a yoke until I retired. But um, 1565 01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:32,240 Speaker 1: I just you know, just change them eating habits and 1566 01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:35,439 Speaker 1: I always tell people that that changes change his heart. Right, 1567 01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:37,280 Speaker 1: you got to have small victories, and that's all I did. 1568 01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:39,320 Speaker 1: And I just kept having these small victories and putting 1569 01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:42,000 Speaker 1: one on top of the other until the weight was gone. Coach. 1570 01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,200 Speaker 1: We really appreciate the time and best of luck atting 1571 01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,280 Speaker 1: ready for Indy on Sunday. Thanks a lot, Mark, appreciate you, man. 1572 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,040 Speaker 1: I'm so disappointed. I was supposed to be on that 1573 01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:51,920 Speaker 1: call too, and I had to be a doctor a 1574 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:53,760 Speaker 1: little longer than I was supposed to, so I had 1575 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,600 Speaker 1: to miss that.

Mark, how are you 1687 01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:49,040 Speaker 1: doing this evening, Johnny? I'm doing great. I'm looking forward 1688 01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:52,080 Speaker 1: to the cults, you know, I always do. It really 1689 01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:55,479 Speaker 1: feels good that they're coming in. You know. I feel 1690 01:31:55,600 --> 01:31:58,720 Speaker 1: horrible about what happened Monday, but look, this team has 1691 01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:00,880 Speaker 1: been through a lot of stuff, I'll know it. And 1692 01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:03,600 Speaker 1: here we go with the Nemesis coming into town, and 1693 01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:06,360 Speaker 1: I'm fired up at this one. I cannot wait Sunday 1694 01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:11,720 Speaker 1: at noon. All right, this game, be it up there 1695 01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:18,040 Speaker 1: or here, just Colts Week in general? Is this the 1696 01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:20,720 Speaker 1: one that you get geeked up for more than any 1697 01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:23,920 Speaker 1: other game? Mark more than any other There's no question 1698 01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:27,000 Speaker 1: about it. Nothing is like it, whether it's here or 1699 01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:30,160 Speaker 1: up there. I do tend to like the ones up 1700 01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:33,600 Speaker 1: there only because I still have this feeling of you 1701 01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,559 Speaker 1: got to conquer the Colts in Indy, and we all 1702 01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:39,720 Speaker 1: know they finally did it in twenty fifteen, and I 1703 01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:43,599 Speaker 1: just think it's such a great matchup for them because 1704 01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:46,439 Speaker 1: of the way the Colts treated the Texans for so long, 1705 01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:50,639 Speaker 1: like they were just the Washington generals, you know, like RCA, Dome, 1706 01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:54,320 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning for years and years and years beating them 1707 01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:57,120 Speaker 1: at O six and then Johnny, think about this, you 1708 01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,880 Speaker 1: beat them at O six at home. It didn't be 1709 01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:03,240 Speaker 1: them again until twenty ten. I mean that's it. Yeah, 1710 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:07,600 Speaker 1: And that's all you ever got on Peyton Manning. You 1711 01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:11,040 Speaker 1: faced Manning every game you played against them from two 1712 01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:15,200 Speaker 1: thousand and two through two and ten, and you only 1713 01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:18,080 Speaker 1: beat him twice and they were both at n RG Stadium. 1714 01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:20,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's incredible. Now recent years, of course, it's 1715 01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:23,760 Speaker 1: been a lot closer this series, but they owned it 1716 01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:26,200 Speaker 1: for so long. It's still so lotsided when you look 1717 01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:28,479 Speaker 1: at the overall record. So yeah, there are so many 1718 01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:30,160 Speaker 1: things that go into it, but this is the one 1719 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:32,640 Speaker 1: that gets me choiced up more than any. Okay, So 1720 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:38,439 Speaker 1: Andrew Temperley, who we hired on our social team, put 1721 01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:41,880 Speaker 1: out I can't remember how exactly phrases, but he put 1722 01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:45,240 Speaker 1: this out a couple hours ago on Twitter, and on 1723 01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:50,240 Speaker 1: one side he had Jalen Strong diving into the end zone, 1724 01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:54,400 Speaker 1: which obviously he was twenty fifteen up there. On the 1725 01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:58,000 Speaker 1: other end, he had a picture of Arion in the 1726 01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:02,800 Speaker 1: Liberty Whites which had twenty ten and essentially was like 1727 01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:05,720 Speaker 1: pick one, And I looked at that and went, that's 1728 01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:08,560 Speaker 1: like picking my kids. Now. I was on the sideline 1729 01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:12,920 Speaker 1: for one, but the way in which twenty ten went down, 1730 01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:16,360 Speaker 1: that's a hard one to pick. You were there for 1731 01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:22,080 Speaker 1: both pick one twenty fifteen up there ending the streak, 1732 01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:26,160 Speaker 1: or at home twenty ten beating Peyton Manning with Arian 1733 01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:29,880 Speaker 1: Foster's two hundred and thirty plus yard rushing. It's a 1734 01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:33,240 Speaker 1: good question. I think that a better pick for the 1735 01:34:33,439 --> 01:34:35,880 Speaker 1: home win would be the Chris brown Field goal at 1736 01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:38,400 Speaker 1: the buzzer, because that's the first time you ever beat them, 1737 01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:40,920 Speaker 1: and the first time at home obviously, and then the 1738 01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:43,040 Speaker 1: jail and Strong is the first time you beat them 1739 01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:44,880 Speaker 1: up there, so it's more of an even matchup, if 1740 01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:47,840 Speaker 1: you will. The Airyan one. I'm sure the fans I 1741 01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:50,000 Speaker 1: haven't looked yet, Johnny, but I'm sure more fans are 1742 01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:52,360 Speaker 1: picking the Ariyan one because of what Aryan means to 1743 01:34:52,439 --> 01:34:55,000 Speaker 1: the fans, and that was his you know, his coming 1744 01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:58,160 Speaker 1: out party. I really thought was the regular season finale 1745 01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:01,240 Speaker 1: against the Patriots the year before he got his first start. 1746 01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:04,080 Speaker 1: Texans are down two TV's in the fourth quarter. Come 1747 01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:05,800 Speaker 1: back when the game is a huge part of it. 1748 01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:08,479 Speaker 1: I thought that was a coming out party for him, 1749 01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:11,720 Speaker 1: But I think nationally, the real coming out party was 1750 01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:13,880 Speaker 1: that win over the Colts two thirty one leads the 1751 01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:15,880 Speaker 1: league and rushing that year, all of the rest of it. 1752 01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,479 Speaker 1: But for me, and we've talked about this before, I mean, 1753 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:23,639 Speaker 1: if I think my favorite win, maybe my personal favorite, 1754 01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's the greatest win in the history 1755 01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:28,479 Speaker 1: of the franchise, but my personal favorite win. As the 1756 01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:31,439 Speaker 1: years go on, it feels more and more like that 1757 01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:34,800 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen win at Indy beating them up there for 1758 01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,840 Speaker 1: the first time ever. It's hard to beat that one 1759 01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:41,960 Speaker 1: to me, because of the quarterback situation and you know, 1760 01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:44,360 Speaker 1: Yate's getting hurt and Wheaton coming off the bench and 1761 01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:46,559 Speaker 1: beating them up there for the first time and having 1762 01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:49,639 Speaker 1: been two in five that year. That meant so much 1763 01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:53,639 Speaker 1: to so many and especially me, which is what we're 1764 01:35:53,680 --> 01:35:56,760 Speaker 1: talking about here. So that's my favorite. You know, it's 1765 01:35:57,560 --> 01:35:59,880 Speaker 1: it's so funny to think back to that twenty five 1766 01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:05,400 Speaker 1: team game because t J. Yates starts it, and you know, 1767 01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:08,600 Speaker 1: we didn't know in all honesty, we just didn't have 1768 01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:12,920 Speaker 1: any idea because TJ that year, you know, he comes 1769 01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:16,200 Speaker 1: into the Cincinnati game bails us out. We wouldn't that 1770 01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:19,519 Speaker 1: think ten to six. The next week we blow up 1771 01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:23,080 Speaker 1: the Jets and Darrell Reeves and Yates is on fire 1772 01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:26,160 Speaker 1: in that game, and I'm thinking, man, maybe we've got something. 1773 01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:29,599 Speaker 1: But we go back to Hoyer and then he gets 1774 01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:32,280 Speaker 1: dinged up. So now TJ's got to start against the Colts, 1775 01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:34,760 Speaker 1: and we look like we're gonna move the ball against him, 1776 01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:37,559 Speaker 1: and then he tears his ACL and I'm like, oh, oh, man, 1777 01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,559 Speaker 1: Weedon's been here like three or four weeks. How are 1778 01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:43,360 Speaker 1: we gonna do this? And Brandon Weedon could not have 1779 01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:47,960 Speaker 1: been more of a cool customer than he was. But Mark, 1780 01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:50,920 Speaker 1: the one thing that will stick with me. Obviously, I'm 1781 01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,960 Speaker 1: hearing your words in my ear, and I know YouTube 1782 01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:58,080 Speaker 1: you and Andre have been there for every single loss 1783 01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:00,600 Speaker 1: our c A Dome or Lucas. You've been there for 1784 01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:03,200 Speaker 1: every loss. And there were some guys down on the 1785 01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:07,519 Speaker 1: sidelines that had been there for a long time. They 1786 01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:10,080 Speaker 1: have been there through a lot of losses. Um you know, 1787 01:37:10,160 --> 01:37:12,479 Speaker 1: guys that people don't know the names of, but they've 1788 01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:15,840 Speaker 1: been there for a while, Jeff Kaplan, Doug West, and 1789 01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm watching them hug each other on the sidelines, and 1790 01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, what what a feeling that was to 1791 01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:28,599 Speaker 1: just like we finally beat these guys in their building. Finally, 1792 01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:31,479 Speaker 1: Like what a relief you know, that was. And I 1793 01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:33,519 Speaker 1: just remember, you know, INDI's a little different than some 1794 01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:36,680 Speaker 1: of the other places as far as like traveling and 1795 01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:40,320 Speaker 1: things you have to do, and so we had to 1796 01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:42,040 Speaker 1: kind of check our bags and do all that kind 1797 01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:44,479 Speaker 1: of stuff kind of off the tarmac before we got 1798 01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:47,200 Speaker 1: into plane, and I just remember standing in line and 1799 01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:50,919 Speaker 1: just going, Holy cow, that was as cool a football 1800 01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:54,599 Speaker 1: event as I've ever been to to have beat them 1801 01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:57,720 Speaker 1: in their building. It look they weren't that good, you know, 1802 01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:00,920 Speaker 1: there's they weren't that good twenty fifteen, but that didn't matter. 1803 01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:03,240 Speaker 1: They had been worse than other years and we still 1804 01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:07,040 Speaker 1: couldn't beat them, and then that day we were able 1805 01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:09,479 Speaker 1: to do it. And I just remember being in the 1806 01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:11,960 Speaker 1: hallway that connected to the locker room and just hearing 1807 01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:17,080 Speaker 1: the locker room erupt when Bill O'Brien had spoken to 1808 01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:20,240 Speaker 1: him afterwards, and it was just it was just an amazing, 1809 01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:22,120 Speaker 1: it was amazing feeling. And then we go back at 1810 01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:24,920 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen to do it again, it was like, yeah, 1811 01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:28,200 Speaker 1: once it was great, but then we do it again 1812 01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:33,439 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, it was it's just indescribable that first 1813 01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:37,000 Speaker 1: time to have done it up there and just see 1814 01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:40,840 Speaker 1: the looks on people's faces. Incredible. But Mark, we played 1815 01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:43,519 Speaker 1: them earlier in twenty fifteen. I don't know if you 1816 01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:46,439 Speaker 1: had a chance to read this article, but I sent 1817 01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:49,280 Speaker 1: it to you and it was written by Stephen Holder, 1818 01:38:49,960 --> 01:38:54,439 Speaker 1: who writes for The Athletic in Indianapolis, and he did 1819 01:38:56,840 --> 01:38:59,720 Speaker 1: not like my first person account, but like an oral 1820 01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:03,200 Speaker 1: his street of the game that you have affectionately called 1821 01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:09,439 Speaker 1: Hasselbeck in a diaper game. Yep, it's the full story 1822 01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:13,240 Speaker 1: is crazy. I mean it, it's so much. It's so 1823 01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:18,200 Speaker 1: detailed because Hasselbeck tells the story. Mark there, they didn't 1824 01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,600 Speaker 1: think he was even gonna get on the bus to 1825 01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:22,760 Speaker 1: get to the plane to get to the hotel to 1826 01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:27,360 Speaker 1: play the game, and yet he played that night and 1827 01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:30,200 Speaker 1: ended up beating us twenty seven to twenty. And I 1828 01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:34,320 Speaker 1: still to this day and as mystified about that loss 1829 01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:37,160 Speaker 1: more than any other. But to read that story about 1830 01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:42,040 Speaker 1: Hasslebeck even getting on the field, market's absolutely unbelievable. You know, 1831 01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:45,200 Speaker 1: it's funny because we've seen it before. You know. A 1832 01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:48,320 Speaker 1: great example, obviously is we all saw the last dance 1833 01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:53,360 Speaker 1: early in the Rona and Michael Jordan with the illness 1834 01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:55,599 Speaker 1: against the Utah Jazz. But we've seen it so many 1835 01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:57,960 Speaker 1: times in sports where somebody's sick and it kind of 1836 01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:00,360 Speaker 1: makes the focus even more if they're a able at 1837 01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:02,080 Speaker 1: all to get out there. And I've had it for 1838 01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:04,720 Speaker 1: broadcast too, Andre and I've talked about this. You've talked 1839 01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:07,600 Speaker 1: about this. Sometimes when you're not feeling well and you 1840 01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:10,920 Speaker 1: have to focus even harder, it kind of tunnel visions 1841 01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,200 Speaker 1: you into a better performance than you might think and 1842 01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:17,719 Speaker 1: maybe you might normally have. And that happened to hassle 1843 01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:20,839 Speaker 1: Back that night. I'drey Johnson catching those two touchdowns. Johnny. 1844 01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:23,040 Speaker 1: I think that's what makes this look. I'm not going 1845 01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:26,040 Speaker 1: to say it's a great rivalry overall from the beginning 1846 01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:29,879 Speaker 1: of time, but I think that since let's say twenty fifteen, 1847 01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:33,160 Speaker 1: it's been a hell of a rivalry it's been back 1848 01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:36,200 Speaker 1: and forth. And look, the Colts still got it because 1849 01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:40,559 Speaker 1: they beat us in the playoffs capping the twenty eighteen season. 1850 01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:43,439 Speaker 1: And I'll never forget that day. It made me hate 1851 01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:46,120 Speaker 1: them even more. And when t Y Hilton walks into 1852 01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:49,160 Speaker 1: the building with a clown mask on because Johnovan Joseph 1853 01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:51,960 Speaker 1: preferred to him as a clown, I thought, there's no 1854 01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,120 Speaker 1: way that Texans are gonna lose this game now that 1855 01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:56,840 Speaker 1: an opponent walked into their building wearing a clown mask. 1856 01:40:56,880 --> 01:40:58,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, they gotta make Aim pay for that. But 1857 01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:03,240 Speaker 1: it's not all about that, right clearly, because Hilton executed 1858 01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:07,040 Speaker 1: beautifully that day and the Texans were throttled by the Colts. 1859 01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:10,519 Speaker 1: And again it just amps up the rivalry even more. 1860 01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:13,559 Speaker 1: The game up there that year that went deep into overtime, 1861 01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:15,920 Speaker 1: Texans wanted at the overtime buzzer. I mean, there's so 1862 01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:19,280 Speaker 1: many matchups we can point to here. The one last 1863 01:41:19,400 --> 01:41:22,599 Speaker 1: year Thursday Night after you got blown out by the Ravens, 1864 01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:25,400 Speaker 1: had to have it for the division or for the 1865 01:41:26,040 --> 01:41:28,120 Speaker 1: pole position the rest of the way in the division, 1866 01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:30,559 Speaker 1: and the Texans got it, and the Colts were still 1867 01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:32,800 Speaker 1: very much alive for the division at that point, and 1868 01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:36,599 Speaker 1: this one you got four and seven verses seven and four. Look, 1869 01:41:36,880 --> 01:41:39,800 Speaker 1: the Texans are far out of it right now and 1870 01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:42,200 Speaker 1: need a miracle to get back into it. But one 1871 01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:45,040 Speaker 1: thing you can do is knock them down a couple 1872 01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:47,720 Speaker 1: of pegs and pull yourself up at the same time. 1873 01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:50,839 Speaker 1: And I think that's enough. I think that Colt uniform 1874 01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:54,600 Speaker 1: that team. Enough guys are on this team. They know 1875 01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:56,880 Speaker 1: what it's all about. You could be playing anybody this week. 1876 01:41:56,920 --> 01:41:58,800 Speaker 1: They want to win three in a row, but it's 1877 01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:02,040 Speaker 1: the Colts. They want to make this happen against the 1878 01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:05,280 Speaker 1: guys in the Royal Blue. I'm psyched for this one. Yeah, 1879 01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:07,920 Speaker 1: I'm pumped for this one. Obviously we're not gonna see 1880 01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,639 Speaker 1: Will fuller, but Marko I thought it was interesting. Deshan 1881 01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:16,320 Speaker 1: was asked today in his media session about Will and 1882 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:22,719 Speaker 1: moving forward, and Deshan put his absolute one thousand percent 1883 01:42:22,920 --> 01:42:27,800 Speaker 1: support for Will coming back in the future and that 1884 01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:33,240 Speaker 1: he would essentially really push for it. I don't know 1885 01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:37,320 Speaker 1: that I was surprised that he would be supportive. I 1886 01:42:37,479 --> 01:42:40,160 Speaker 1: think maybe I don't even know if surprise is the 1887 01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:42,960 Speaker 1: right word, but the fact that he was that adamant, 1888 01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:46,160 Speaker 1: like yes, I want him back. I don't. I don't 1889 01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:48,560 Speaker 1: know that I've ever kind of heard de Shan be 1890 01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:54,479 Speaker 1: that authoritative essentially about like a personnel decision or something 1891 01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:57,760 Speaker 1: like that. Obviously there was old trade deadline stuff and 1892 01:42:57,800 --> 01:42:59,880 Speaker 1: all that, and he just I don't know that he 1893 01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:03,519 Speaker 1: was that, you know, kind of straightforward about it. I mean, 1894 01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:05,040 Speaker 1: he was like he didn't want anybody to go, and 1895 01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:08,000 Speaker 1: he did. But the way he spoke about Will was like, Man, 1896 01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:11,519 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I want to make this happen. We need 1897 01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:13,960 Speaker 1: to bring Will back. Yeah, to slip up, he got 1898 01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:16,840 Speaker 1: pop whatever, but that guy needs to be back with us. 1899 01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:20,120 Speaker 1: Were you surprised at all that Deshaun took as strong 1900 01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:23,240 Speaker 1: as stance as he did about Will Fuller. Well, when 1901 01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:26,360 Speaker 1: you have that kind of chemistry with somebody, you know, Johnny, 1902 01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:28,880 Speaker 1: if if if you get pop for Royd's, I'm gonna 1903 01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:31,439 Speaker 1: lobby for you to come back to Okay. I just 1904 01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:33,800 Speaker 1: want you to know that right now, you get pop 1905 01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:37,360 Speaker 1: for a peed. Look, we all know that I am 1906 01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:43,120 Speaker 1: a heavy user of a certain broadcasting peed. It's named Coffee. Now. 1907 01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:46,080 Speaker 1: Fortunately it's legal and I don't have to test for it. 1908 01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:48,720 Speaker 1: But if you ever had to test for something I'm 1909 01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:50,880 Speaker 1: lobbying for you. I just think that they have such 1910 01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:55,759 Speaker 1: outstanding chemistry. They make beautiful football music together. Of course 1911 01:43:55,840 --> 01:43:58,160 Speaker 1: he wants him back. Now, I think that there are 1912 01:43:58,200 --> 01:44:02,360 Speaker 1: many different questions here. There's money, there's what was he taking? 1913 01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:04,679 Speaker 1: Can he be as good without it? Look, we've seen 1914 01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:06,519 Speaker 1: him be good without it? I assume he was. He's 1915 01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:09,000 Speaker 1: been without it in the past. The question is health 1916 01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:12,000 Speaker 1: another one. So look, they'll address all of those things. 1917 01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:15,000 Speaker 1: They're not going to approach Will with a big, meaty 1918 01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:17,840 Speaker 1: contract unless they feel comfortable, and you know, they're going 1919 01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:20,960 Speaker 1: to do all the necessary research. They meaning the new regime, 1920 01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:24,400 Speaker 1: whoever's left of the current regime, all of that. They'll 1921 01:44:24,479 --> 01:44:26,840 Speaker 1: make it happen if they deem it's the right thing 1922 01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:28,840 Speaker 1: to do. But I think you do want to follow 1923 01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:32,280 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks wishes as much as possible, you know, I mean, 1924 01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:34,640 Speaker 1: if Will was like whatever, I don't want to come 1925 01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:37,600 Speaker 1: up with a scenario where it would be prohibitive. But 1926 01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:40,200 Speaker 1: I just think it's you know, by the way, Johnny, 1927 01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:42,160 Speaker 1: the contract could be prohibitive. I don't know how that's 1928 01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:44,080 Speaker 1: going to shake out. I don't know how all of 1929 01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:47,080 Speaker 1: that works. But let's just wait and see. I was 1930 01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:50,080 Speaker 1: not that surprised. I'm eager to see how they put 1931 01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:52,240 Speaker 1: this whole thing together around him. And I think that 1932 01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:55,840 Speaker 1: this team next year. Look, they're winning now. Look it's 1933 01:44:55,880 --> 01:44:59,400 Speaker 1: not like they're winning tons now, but since the Owen four, 1934 01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:02,240 Speaker 1: they're a little bit better than five hundred. If they 1935 01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:04,800 Speaker 1: win this week, they're five and three since the o 1936 01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:07,720 Speaker 1: win four start. Yeah, that's pretty decent right now. And 1937 01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:09,679 Speaker 1: I know that you know they gotta do better against 1938 01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:12,040 Speaker 1: the better teams and all that, But I just think 1939 01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:14,640 Speaker 1: that you can make some changes to this team immediately 1940 01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:16,560 Speaker 1: in the off season that are going to make it 1941 01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:20,559 Speaker 1: competitive for a run to win the division at least 1942 01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:22,920 Speaker 1: contend for the division in twenty twenty one. I don't 1943 01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:25,040 Speaker 1: think that's too much to ask for the NFL, considering 1944 01:45:25,040 --> 01:45:26,519 Speaker 1: you have one of the best quarterbacks in the league 1945 01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:29,679 Speaker 1: on your team. Yeah, no doubt, Mark. I know Sunday 1946 01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:31,960 Speaker 1: is gonna be a fun one and look forward to 1947 01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:35,160 Speaker 1: calling with you, my friend.

But I gotta 2052 01:51:57,200 --> 01:52:00,679 Speaker 1: say this, the Ravens and the out break. They had 2053 01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:05,920 Speaker 1: to be able to even be in that game losing 2054 01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:09,479 Speaker 1: nineteen to fourteen, and had an opportunity if they could 2055 01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:13,479 Speaker 1: have just knocked down one pass, made one stop with 2056 01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:16,720 Speaker 1: just under three minutes and getting the ball back, But 2057 01:52:16,840 --> 01:52:19,559 Speaker 1: they just couldn't stop at James Washington with a great 2058 01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:23,320 Speaker 1: catch on a throw from Ben Roethlisberger that as soon 2059 01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:25,320 Speaker 1: as he left his hand, I was like, what to 2060 01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:29,040 Speaker 1: have are you doing? And Washington went up and made 2061 01:52:29,080 --> 01:52:31,360 Speaker 1: it right. He made it right. He went up and 2062 01:52:31,439 --> 01:52:34,120 Speaker 1: got it. Dad got a first down, Benny snelled and 2063 01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:37,160 Speaker 1: ran out the clock and they got a third and 2064 01:52:37,479 --> 01:52:41,479 Speaker 1: short by about two inches, maybe not even that, maybe 2065 01:52:41,520 --> 01:52:45,040 Speaker 1: about an inch and that sealed it. Baltimore falls to 2066 01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:49,400 Speaker 1: six and five. Robert Griffin third and Trace McSorley tag 2067 01:52:49,479 --> 01:52:52,680 Speaker 1: team that thing today. McSorley threw a touchdown, but it 2068 01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:56,840 Speaker 1: wasn't enough. Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers get it done. 2069 01:52:57,840 --> 01:53:01,840 Speaker 1: Nineteen fourteen. Steelers stay on defeated.

And of course Bradley 2072 01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:13,200 Speaker 1: Roby and Will Fuller being out creates some opportunities, especially 2073 01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:16,200 Speaker 1: at wide receiver where we gotta figure out what to 2074 01:53:16,240 --> 01:53:19,920 Speaker 1: do about Will Fuller. And the two of us discussed, well, 2075 01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:22,040 Speaker 1: what are the options? So here we go. What do 2076 01:53:22,200 --> 01:53:26,519 Speaker 1: you do? All right, let's start with receiver and yeah, 2077 01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:29,120 Speaker 1: and yes, let me put let's we're putting the caveat 2078 01:53:29,160 --> 01:53:32,560 Speaker 1: out there. Will Fuller not playing in this offense is 2079 01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:35,000 Speaker 1: a big blow to the offense. We've seen those splits, 2080 01:53:35,200 --> 01:53:39,160 Speaker 1: him in and him without. Yes, we know it's a 2081 01:53:39,240 --> 01:53:41,400 Speaker 1: big blow to this offense. But it's not all hope 2082 01:53:41,479 --> 01:53:46,800 Speaker 1: is lost, Okay now, and it's happened, so and can 2083 01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:49,800 Speaker 1: cry about it and be sad about it. It's fine. 2084 01:53:50,439 --> 01:53:53,280 Speaker 1: The cults aren't going to give a damn on Sunday like, oh, 2085 01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:57,519 Speaker 1: sorry you're without Will Fuller. Oh our bats gonna be 2086 01:53:57,560 --> 01:54:00,479 Speaker 1: like no, look the playoff race, We're going to knock 2087 01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:02,760 Speaker 1: you guys off. We don't care who you got over there. 2088 01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:05,200 Speaker 1: You could put Dorty and Harris at wide receiver, it 2089 01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:08,360 Speaker 1: don't matter us. And I think we probably could catch 2090 01:54:08,439 --> 01:54:12,960 Speaker 1: a pass maybe maybe maybe not. We might be destroyed 2091 01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:15,080 Speaker 1: after that, But what are you gonna do? Anyway? I 2092 01:54:15,400 --> 01:54:18,200 Speaker 1: would be let's let's look at what you still do. 2093 01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:21,360 Speaker 1: Have you Brandon Cooks, who has been phenomenal lately and 2094 01:54:21,479 --> 01:54:23,960 Speaker 1: he's on pace to have over a thousand yards receiving 2095 01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:26,160 Speaker 1: one of his better years in them maybe in his career. 2096 01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:31,480 Speaker 1: So you saw Brandon Cooks. Okay, Kiki QT against Indianapolis 2097 01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:33,680 Speaker 1: Colts in his career has had not one but two 2098 01:54:34,040 --> 01:54:38,040 Speaker 1: eleven catch games, one in the playoff game one at Indianapolis, 2099 01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:40,920 Speaker 1: and Kiki's coming into his own a little bit. Now 2100 01:54:41,240 --> 01:54:45,840 Speaker 1: Here's so those two guys just in of themselves pretty 2101 01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:52,440 Speaker 1: dangers dudes. Kiki's different, Kiki's fast, Will's fast, but they're different. Yeah, 2102 01:54:52,560 --> 01:54:55,920 Speaker 1: Ki is truly more of a slot receiver. But in 2103 01:54:56,080 --> 01:54:58,600 Speaker 1: that first game when he was rookie, back way back 2104 01:54:58,640 --> 01:55:02,280 Speaker 1: when twenty eighteen, Fuller went out after like three plays. 2105 01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:06,080 Speaker 1: So Kiki, it took them like a couple of series 2106 01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:08,720 Speaker 1: because Keiki had to step into that role and kind 2107 01:55:08,760 --> 01:55:10,800 Speaker 1: of figure it all out. And he did, yeah, and 2108 01:55:10,920 --> 01:55:13,200 Speaker 1: he ended up having a really good game. So you've 2109 01:55:13,200 --> 01:55:15,320 Speaker 1: got Cooks and you've got Qt.

Brandon's gonna have to do a few more things. 2113 01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:25,720 Speaker 1: But they don't have to all sudden try and become 2114 01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:28,520 Speaker 1: something they're not. They just have to play their game 2115 01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:32,440 Speaker 1: and the Sean's gonna find them. And if the cults 2116 01:55:32,440 --> 01:55:33,920 Speaker 1: are gonna play a lout of his own, those guys 2117 01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:36,960 Speaker 1: are awesome at getting open and into open areas of 2118 01:55:37,040 --> 01:55:40,680 Speaker 1: the zone.

Call Isaiah Coulter or fifth round 2122 01:55:49,640 --> 01:55:53,760 Speaker 1: rookie who's on the roster right now. Stephen Mitchell got 2123 01:55:53,800 --> 01:55:57,440 Speaker 1: brought up to the roster. He's played before, and he 2124 01:55:57,520 --> 01:55:59,360 Speaker 1: was bumped up the head of Coulter. People got to 2125 01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:02,760 Speaker 1: remember that until he didn't really see him on Thursday 2126 01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:04,880 Speaker 1: last week. But he was the one who was called 2127 01:56:04,960 --> 01:56:09,320 Speaker 1: up from the practice squad and made active. Yes, yes, 2128 01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:13,440 Speaker 1: and and and they trust Stevie and Stevie can fly. Yeah. 2129 01:56:13,560 --> 01:56:15,840 Speaker 1: Stevie's whole deal, from going all the way back to 2130 01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:18,400 Speaker 1: the days at USC have been could he stay healthy. 2131 01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:20,640 Speaker 1: He got to the NFL and he has stayed. He 2132 01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:23,920 Speaker 1: stayed healthy. He just was stuck beyond Hopkins Fuller Ut 2133 01:56:24,160 --> 01:56:25,960 Speaker 1: he's been stuck behind those guys. Well, now maybe his 2134 01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:28,720 Speaker 1: an opportunity for Stevie. So you got Isaiah Coulter, you 2135 01:56:28,800 --> 01:56:30,840 Speaker 1: got Stevie, and then you got some guys on the 2136 01:56:30,920 --> 01:56:35,480 Speaker 1: practice squad. To me, Drew are very intriguing. Damian Ratley 2137 01:56:35,520 --> 01:56:36,840 Speaker 1: was a guy who loved at A and M came 2138 01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:41,440 Speaker 1: into the league and did did some good things playing 2139 01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:44,080 Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns, making some big catches for the 2140 01:56:44,160 --> 01:56:48,640 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. He's played and been active in the NFL before. 2141 01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:52,560 Speaker 1: Chad Hansen had a whale of training camp at twenty 2142 01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:57,520 Speaker 1: twenty sean through to him at training camp through to 2143 01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:01,160 Speaker 1: him a lot, because there was not a day where Cook's, 2144 01:57:01,520 --> 01:57:07,160 Speaker 1: Cob Fuller and Stills were all healthy together for a 2145 01:57:07,200 --> 01:57:10,640 Speaker 1: full practice, and Chad Hansen took advantage of those advices. 2146 01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:12,240 Speaker 1: And on top of that, you know, I talked with 2147 01:57:12,400 --> 01:57:14,960 Speaker 1: Chad in August. Yeah you did. He said he had 2148 01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:18,720 Speaker 1: a chance to actually catch balls from Deshaun before that. 2149 01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:21,320 Speaker 1: He said, Remember I was on the practice squad, so 2150 01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:23,839 Speaker 1: I was catching balls from McCarron and some others, you know, magoo. 2151 01:57:24,200 --> 01:57:25,600 Speaker 1: So I didn't really get a chance to get on 2152 01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:27,760 Speaker 1: a rhythm, get on the same page with Deshaun, but 2153 01:57:27,840 --> 01:57:30,080 Speaker 1: I really did. Now it was May and it was 2154 01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:32,200 Speaker 1: June and it was July. It's different, I understand. But 2155 01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:35,760 Speaker 1: they built up a bit of the chemistry. How does 2156 01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:38,600 Speaker 1: that translate to games. Well, maybe we'll see some tap 2157 01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:42,320 Speaker 1: someday and maybe we won't. But they were, as you said, 2158 01:57:42,640 --> 01:57:45,000 Speaker 1: they were cooking in August. Man, he looked a lot 2159 01:57:45,080 --> 01:57:47,760 Speaker 1: like as you.
