Speaker 1: Sexans All Access where the Texans are on the bye week,

22
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel too much like a bye week. I

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: would think it will probably Sunday. I think everything this

24
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: week is pretty much other than not being at practice

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: for activation a couple times this week, it feels like

26
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: a normal, normal week. I guess maybe Sunday it'll hit.

27
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: And then when you're sitting on a couch and you're

28
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: watching a number of games which we will predict later

29
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: the show, we're watching a bunch of games, we realized, Hey, yeah,

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: it is a bye week. This hasn't felt as such.

31

Speaker 1: the cooler segments that we've had on the Texans All

00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: Access in a while, and it was I don't even

38
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: know whose idea. It was as easy as could be,

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: as long as you can get everybody but brilliant. Drew

40
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Doherty sat down with Waite Smith, Travis Johnson, an Chester

41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: Pitts and went through the legendary moments of this franchise.

42
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: And I have a snippet of that conversation, the full conversation,

43
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: and it's outstanding. It is really, really good, So we'll

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: have that for you. I do have to do my predictions,

45
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: not today, It's not like I have to, but I

46
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: have to. I mean, there are games this weekend, so

47
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: I gotta predict those, and then we will hear from

48
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: my friend, general manager of long Star Sports Entertainment, David Fletcher,

49
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: who made a significant announcement today on the Texas Bowl.

50
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: And yes, the Texas Bowl is going to be one

51
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: of about thirty three or thirty four bowls that are

52
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: still in play. It looks like there's about eight or

53
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: nine that are pausing on twenty twenty and gonna move

54
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: it to twenty twenty one. East West Shrine Game, gonna

55
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: move from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two. I

56
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: don't know what the Senior Bowl will do, but there

57
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: are some bigger events that are not going to happen,

58
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: but the Texas Bowl will happen. Now. A lot of

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: things can happen between now and the date kind of

60
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: want to give it away, but he did announce it today.

61
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: So it's December thirty first at seven pm. Now there

62
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: is a thousand percent guarantee you could be at seven,

63
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: could be a little bit earlier, but not much, not

64
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: a significant amount. So that game is going to be

65
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: December thirty first at seven. I got fletched on to

66
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: talk about that, and then we'll finish up with Houston

67
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: Methodist Minutes with Mark VanderMeer. He sat down with one

68
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: of the doctors from Houston Methodists to talk about the

69
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: rising COVID cases and all that goes with COVID. I

70
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: know we're kind of coded out, but this is actually

71
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: pretty interesting, and I'd like the fact that Mark does

72
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: these interviews, but this one was pretty cool, So you'll

73
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: definitely want to stick around for that. So jam packed.

74
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: But normally on a Friday, Mark would sit down with

75
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Romeo Crenell and talk about the game coming up on

76
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: Sunday and everything going on. Well, I didn't want to

77
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: break that up. I didn't want to not have Rack

78
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: on the show, so I figured, hey, why not play

79
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: my conversation with Romeo from earlier this week to kind

80
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: of talk about what they were going to do throughout

81
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: this week, in this bye week, So Hot Reads brought

82
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: to you by Geico, and there's great news. Geico can

83
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,360

84
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a fifteen minutes of your time. So

85
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: our loan hot Read on this Friday, it's my conversation

86
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: with Romeo Crenell coach. It's good to see a smiling face.

87
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: I've got to start with this. This happened maybe four

88
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: or five years ago. One night I was up doing

89
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: radio and I happen to walk up to the stair

90
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: and walk up to stairwell to go get a drink,

91
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: and I walk by the defensive meeting room and I

92
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: happen to hear some music and I saw you in there,

93
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: just all by yourself, and you had a bunch of

94
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: play cards in front of you with I think it

95
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: was Frank Sinatra music. Is that your game preparation mode

96
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: to just kind of get into defensive meeting room and

97
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: listen to some Frank Sinatra or do you have other

98
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: music you like to listen to to get ready for

99
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: a game. Well, I listened to all types of music,

100
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: and maybe Frank was just on that time when you

101
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: came by. I'm always captivated, coach by the preparation for

102
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: a game. How has the preparation been different for you

103
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: since you were named interim head coach. Well, there's more

104
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: things involved, you know. I've got to be up on

105
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: special teams. I've got to be up on the offense,

106
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: got to be up on the defense, you know, as

107
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: well as dealing where we have whatever else happens in

108
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: the building. So all of that time consuming. So time

109
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: management becomes an issue and you got to try to

110
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: balance your time a little bit so that you can

111
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: get some sleep at night. Coach, How has it been

112
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: different with the COVID nineteen aspect? Has that created any

113
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: more work for you in that particular realm that you

114
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: might not be able to see the players when you

115
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: want to and those kind of things, or want to

116
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: just have an individual meeting with a player if you

117
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: need one. Has it made it more difficult in that sense?

118
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: But sure it has, you know, because it's all about

119
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: the social distancing. We have zoom meetings rather than meetings

120
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: in the building one on ones, you call them unless

121
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: you really need to look them in the eye, and

122
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: then that way you have to sit across the desk

123
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: six feet, you know, apart, and all those kinds of things.

124
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: So just maneuvering the proto call it makes it more difficult.

125
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: Over the years, coach, and you've coached a lot different places,

126
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: and sometimes from season to season you've been part of

127
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: a team that wasn't so good, but then turn into

128
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: a team that was really good. Like when you were

129
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: with the New York Giants. Was there a particular moment

130
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: in which a team that you were with was not

131
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: doing well and then it got turned around whether you

132
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: made the playoffs or not and played very well. Did

133
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: you ever have that situation and what was the most

134
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: important aspect to getting that turned around from not so

135
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: good to being much better? Well? I think in football

136
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: and in coaching, you know, you always coach to improve,

137
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: to get the players to improve, and sometimes when you

138
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: start off slow, you're working to improve, and sometimes that

139
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: message doesn't get across to the players right away, But

140
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: then as the season goes on, they understand what you're

141
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: talking about, they understand how they need to play to

142
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: give themselves the best chance to win, and then it

143
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: begins to fall in place. I guess in two thousand

144
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: and one. When I was in New England, we didn't

145
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: start off the best. You know. We were about a

146
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: five hundred team when we played the Rams, and we

147
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: played them and they beat us. But then we kind

148
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: of settled down and started to win and went on

149
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: a winning streak, you know, and then that streak took

150
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: us to the playoffs and to the Super Bowl. You know,

151
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: So all the time the guys are working, You work

152
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: with the guys to try to get them better, to

153
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: try to get them to understand how they need to

154
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: do their job to give the unit or the team

155
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: the best chance, and then when that clicks all right,

156
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: then you see the results on the game field. But

157
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: you mentioned in your media sessional a while ago about

158
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 1: the inconsistency, and from from your standpoint, how fustrating is

159
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: it to see players make a play and do what

160
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: you're coaching to do, but then to see them do

161
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: something else and not make a play the next How

162
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: frustrating has that been? Just dealing with the inconsistency that

163
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: you see a team that can do it, but they're

164
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: just not doing it all the time. Well, that's pretty frustrating,

165
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, because what usually happens is you end up

166
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: losing the game. Somehow you're in the game and then

167
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: you lose it, or you might not be in the game,

168
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: and the reason you're not in the game is because

169
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: of inconsistencies. And you see where if the player had

170
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: done what he had been coached to do, then you

171
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: could make the play and then you wouldn't lose. And so,

172
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: you know, it gets frustrating, but that's what coaching is.

173
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: You have to try to get two players better. You

174
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: keep working with them to get better, and believe it

175
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: or not, they do get better. They begin to understand

176
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: and then they start playing better and become more consistent players.

177
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: Coaches by week right here at week eight, seven games

178
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: in nine games left to go? Is it coming at

179
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: a good time for you? And for you it just

180
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: in particular you at the start of the year, you

181
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: were not the head coach. Now you are. I would

182
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: imagine that you probably need maybe a few minutes during

183
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: the bye week to kind of just step back and

184
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: kind of reassess and get your mind right for the

185
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: last nine games. Kind Of what's your thought going into

186
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: the last nine games and how important is this bye

187
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: week just for you personally? Well, you know what I

188
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: think the bye week is coming at a good time

189
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: because it's about halfway through the season, and you know,

190
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: this game, the players get banged up a little bit.

191
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: You put in the time you have to put into

192
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: prepare for games and all of those kind of things,

193
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: and so when the bye week gets here, you do

194
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: get a couple of days to just relax, recoup and

195
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: not think football twenty four seven. Yeah, and then after

196
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: that you come back and should be refreshed and be

197
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 1: ready to make the push for the last half of

198
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: the season. Coach, what is it that you want to

199
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: see from the leaders of this team over the second

200
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: half of the year. Well, I would like to see

201
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: them lead us in the right direction, the correct way,

202
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: because our situation is it's a tenuous situation because of

203
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: what's happened in his first half, because of the pandemic

204
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: and all of those things, and so I would like

205
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: to see positive leadership so that we can go and

206
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: start getting better and start winning games, so that we

207
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: can finish on a strong note. Because you've seen some

208
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: young players that have stood out to you in the

209
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: last few weeks. I've seen some of our young players

210
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: who have ability, you know, show flashes, but they show

211
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: that they're young too, because there are other things that

212
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: they do that they're not ready yet. Yeah, well, I

213
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: would imagine being ready for, especially a defensive player, when

214
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: you have to face Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Ryan Tannehill,

215
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, and Aaron Rodgers all in the span of

216
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: seven games. I think it sort of goes without saying, coach,

217
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: that's pretty difficult. But as you got into it against

218
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: those particular quarterbacks and how different they are, but how

219
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: great they are, how much more difficult did it make

220
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: it that you were facing those guys. Some I'm gonna

221
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame, some I'm gonna be

222
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl. To face that group of quarterbacks

223
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: to start this year right out of the shoot almost

224
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: every game right in her row. Yeah, it makes it

225
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: pretty tough because all of those guys are great players,

226
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: and most of them are well versed in the game.

227
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: They've seen a lot, and it's hardy. You know, it's

228
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: hard for you to fool those guys young quarterbacks. You

229
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: can fool a young quarterback with disguises and things like that,

230
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: but these veteran quarterbacks, they've seen it all and they

231
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: take advantage of every little thing that you do wrong.

232
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: Had fun conversation with Romeo Crennell and look Friday, first

233
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: hot Read and only hot read. It's always Romeo Crown.

234
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Now game stats report, because well there's no game, so

235
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 1: we don't want to have to worry about that. So

236
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: let's just jump to our next segment and talk to

237
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: Pharaoh Brown. That's right, DP City went one on one

244
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: We had a lot of uncertainty, but with Amergy's support,

245
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: we were able to get through it. Being able to

246
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: help somebody come out of a crisis is truly gratifying.

280
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: up in Cleveland, so yeah, I'm sure you do enjoy

281
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: this weather. Let's let's start with your name. I like

282
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: the name Pharaoh. I think that's probably has to have

283
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: a good story behind it, or does it. So my

284
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: dad wanted us all to have like royal names. And

285
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: my mom was reading like a book or watching a movie,

286
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: and I can't remember what the movie was. I shouldn't know,

287
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: but she was like she heard it and she was

288
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: just like she wasn't gonna tell nobody the name, because

289
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, like that's always like a fun thing. Like

290
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: everybody he tells somebody you're gonna name your son this,

291
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, I know a guy named this thing.

292
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: He's a jerk or something. She she just held it

293
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: and then she just named me that, and everybody was

294
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: just like shocked and just kind of fell in love

295
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: with it. And that's kind of how I got it,

296
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: all right. So you have siblings that have royal names too,

297
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I have like Prince Michael, Benjamin Queen or

298
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: I think I got like one of the coolest names.

299
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: I actually named my son Titus, So it's kind of

300
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: a world name. That is a great family tradition, all right.

301
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: So no one's ever going to forget your first name ever.

302
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: What about you? You came from Cleveland, You signed with

303
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: the Texans just after Week one. The Texans needed a

304
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: tight end Khali wearing one on IR and you had

305
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: some experience in the league. So what was it like?

306
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: I mean, trying out for a new team is always,

307
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: I imagine stressful, but with COVID and all the new

308
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: protocols and precautions in place, what was that whole process

309
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: like for you? I kind of been transitioning a lot.

310
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: This is my third coach actually in a year and

311
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: a half. Everywhere I've been, actually I haven't had the

312
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: same coach consecutive year, so I've had a fourth year.

313
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: I had a coach every year, some two coaches and

314
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: two years, so kind of familiar. Just like with the

315
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: coaches learning offenses, I've been around a game. I just

316
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: love a sport, so I kind of just study. So

317
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: when I came here, this was by far one of

318
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: the more harder offenses is to learn. But I just

319
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: dove in and just studied. And it's not more it's

320
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: more of just a terminology thing. And coach Will does

321
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: a great job coaching and coaches up in. It's more

322
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: of conversation, like he'll say one thing and I say,

323
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: what does that mean? What do you mean by that?

324
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: Then I say, oh, that's that. He's like, yeah, that's that.

325
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: So it's more like just learning the language of what

326
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: the Texans used that as far as the concept, it's

327
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: a lot of the same around the league. So it's

328
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: just learning the whole new language. And like I said,

329
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: coach Will does a good job. Has gotten me up

330
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: to speed. Yeah, And was it weird because with everything

331
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: going on with the pandemic. You you had to get tested,

332
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: and just traveling is such a such a hassle these days,

333
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: and trying to get around the city when everything is

334
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: sort of sort of closed but sort of not. What

335
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: was that like? It was kind of weird. I mean,

336
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: first coming in, I was just like in the hotel

337
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: for a league and then you have to have like

338
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: a tryout and but you can't, like you just sit

339
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: in a hotel eat three meals a day. Didn't feel

340
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: like it's just feel big and you got to go

341
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: run around like three days ago, I gotta do a workout. Yeah,

342
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: I gotta do a workout. So I was like, all right,

343
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: can I go. I'm like trying to work out in

344
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: the hotel room and stuff. But so that was fun.

345
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,239
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think it's kind of just been going.

346
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: It's just been an ongoing a process. Like even now

347
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: with the tight ends we've covered in today and got

348
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: a whole new set of protocols that we have to

349
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: buy buy. So I mean it sucks. I mean, let's

350
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: put it. I mean everybody sucks for everybody. Everybody hate this.

351
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean you're at home having to watch it. But

352
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: it's just like you have to embrace it, you know,

353
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: just just roll with the punches, honestly, because you still

354
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: got to go out there and play, and we're trying

355
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: to win games, So you just gotta roll with the

356
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: punches and adapt. I think that brings out the best

357
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: in everyone. Yeah, I read somewhere that's the opponent that

358
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: everybody's facing this year is COVID. Trying to just to

359
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: get past COVID through these the season. What you had

360
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: a brand new coach in will Lyne. You mentioned him,

361
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: but then you also have some familiarity with this offense

362
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: in Darren Fells. You guys had some time together in Cleveland.

363
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: So what was it like reuniting with him? How well

364
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: did you know him up in Cleveland? I know you

365
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: said you bounced her on a lot, but how much

366
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: of a help was it to come here and see

367
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: a familiar facing him? So we was We was there

368
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: for a four year together. There's a great veteran that's

369
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: been around a lot of different programs as well, and

370
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: good gotta good, gotta get gain some knowledge from on

371
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: the field and off the field. So he said, if

372
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: I ever have a question, I'm not gonna ask Darreny.

373
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: He'll yellow to me what I got or something. So

374
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: I think we got a cool tiny room. Yeah, and

375
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: you and Darren both have a little bit of a

376
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: history with basketball. We've talked to Darren lots of times

377
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: about playing European basketball. But I read somewhere that you

378
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: are kind of a basketball standout yourself in high school.

379
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: How did you decide to go to the football rounds

380
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: in the basketball? One of the coaches I actually came

381
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: to me was told me that I was averaging basketball

382
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: as like myself, not my ability, but as in like

383
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: my my height and weight. He was like, you know,

384
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: your six six, These NBA guys are six eight, sixteen.

385
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: You know, football, you're kind of like a He told me,

386
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: it's like you'll go to the league just off your height,

387
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: you know. So, uh, the money sounded kind of good.

388
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: But looking back, I mean I probably should have sticked

389
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: with the basketball. It's a lot fewer games, but yeah,

390
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I actually play. We talked about it

391
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: that the day are tight end room. We kind of

392
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: like are started five, probably up against anybody's because you

393
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: guys do have a really good, really really good starting five.

394
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: You guys are all very athletic in multiple sports. In

395
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: that Titan group. All right, So before we got to Houston,

396
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: before you got to Texas, how much did you know

397
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: about the city. How much did you know about Texas?

398
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: Had you ever been here? Do you have any ties?

399
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: Two of my uncles actually lived out here. I trained

400
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: out here for like three months. You did two summers ago,

401
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: so I kind of been down here and it was

402
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: kind of familiar. I'm still learning about it. A lady

403
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: gave me a whole spiel when I was picking out

404
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: furniture about the I don't want to get it wrong.

405
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: They might talk about me. Is it the Cowboy Day?

406
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's called. They say it's a

407
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: big deal around Oh oh yeah, go Texan Day? No,

408
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: is that when they do all this stuff here is

409
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: like a big They say they sale cows and they

410
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: got the Derby or the rodeo rodeo may not. I mean,

411
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if there will be a rodeo this

412
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: next year, but if there is, hopefully you're around to

413
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: see it, because yeah, that's um, that's this. Lady gave

414
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: me a whole spiel how to rodeo stuff. She said, well,

415
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: you know you're a Texan when you actually buy the

416
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: boots and the hats. So once you get that, then

417
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: you're totally a Texan. I think I'm gonna go find

418
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: me someone where to a game. Well, I want to

419
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: ask you about your college days, because in just reading

420
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: about you and learning about you, the one thing that

421
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: really stood out was the fact that you had just

422
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: a really serious injury in college that you overcame and

423
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: that's allowed you to keep playing football. And it's not

424
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: just any injury. It was threatening not only your football career,

425
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: but also there was a chance that you might actually

426
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: have your like MP two, is that correct? Can you

427
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: tell me about your injury? And from people that that

428
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: don't know about it, Well, like, first when it happened,

429
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: we thought it was just you know ACLLC or like

430
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: your standard kind of need this location. But then we

431
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: was at Utah and I was just like in a

432
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: lot of pain, caught like a full body cramp on

433
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: the amvalance. So you know, it was a It was

434
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: a one of those kind of shows. So they they

435
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: instead of going back with the team, is like, well,

436
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: we'll just send them to the hospital, get them on

437
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: some pain tolerance, and they kind of gave me some IVS.

438
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: I was still in pain, and they started like shooting die.

439
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: Basically I wasn't getting legs so when they die, when

440
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: they were shooting to die, basically like they couldn't see it.

441
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: But when it got to my knee and uh so

442
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: I wasn't getting no blood from the leg down. So

443
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 1: that was like first kind of scene. So the doctors

444
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: came in, was like, yeah, we got to see you

445
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: in the surgery and I was like well, so I

446
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: was like, well, I'm not I'm not giving you y'all

447
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: not doing surgery. I don't know you doctors like these.

448
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm with the Utah doctors. You know. They like, we

449
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: got a surgeon and I'm like, well, I'm not doing churgery.

450
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: They told me. Everybody else from Orgon flew back. So

451
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: I was like, well, they say that charge supposed to

452
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: give medicine. So the guy was like okay, well he

453
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: sent there. The dog was like, well, you won't play

454
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: football again if you don't get the surgery right now.

455
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: We had to cut off your leg. So then I

456
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: was like, okay, we'll give me the surgery. Surgery down.

457
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: I guess I had surgery. Okay, So the surgery saved

458
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: your leg essentially the fact that you were able to

459
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: get it done. The surgery, they basically did a vein

460
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: bypass because I had slipped my artery and when I

461
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: slipped the artery, I was, it messed up the vein

462
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: basically to flow the veins, so they basically bypassed stitched

463
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: it up, and that was a surgery to Basically I

464
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: had to wait thirty days. So it's kind of like

465
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: a thirty day wait to see if the blood will

466
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: actually restore, and that it's kind of hard to explay.

467
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: So basically I was waiting. I waited thirty days to

468
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: see if the vein bypass that they did would basically flow,

469
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: kind of like the blood flowing back again through your

470
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: life bloo after that way. So obviously it did because

471
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: you're playing football. But what was how long were you

472
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: out of football? Were you? I mean, I would imagine

473
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: you'd be pretty worried that you're not gonna be able

474
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: to play again. So if it was November, I had that,

475
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: I had another surgeon after that thirty days and I

476
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: had to have another surgeon. I had three surgeries in total,

477
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: and then I did about I read shirt and so

478
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: I did about nineteen nineteen months a rehab, and I

479
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: think the people at Oregon was fabulous, The people at

480
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: the Cleveland clinic was fabulous. My mom, my fiance now

481
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: who as I was went back then, was fablessed. And

482
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: just they kind of kept all the I honestly didn't

483
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: know the telling the story. Now you know the seriousness

484
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: of it, But when it happened, I never knew the

485
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: seriousness of it, Like other than the doctor saying I

486
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: got to get the surgery and my leg get cut off.

487
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: I thought I was good. After I got the surgeon,

488
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: I didn't heard it. I was them thirty days waiting.

489
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: I didn't know that I was waiting. I thought I

490
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: was fine. Like my parents and everybody else knew to

491
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: see a verity of it, but they wouldn't tell me basically,

492
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: So I mean I was just chilling. They just like, oh,

493
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: you just gotta get another surgery thirty days later. They

494
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: didn't tell me thing that I was like basically, like

495
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: the thirty days I might have had to get my

496
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: leg chopped off, like if it didn't work. I didn't

497
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: know that until after it worked, you know what I mean. So,

498
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: so you have a great attitude because everyone just kept

499
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: very very information from you, which is I don't I

500
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: don't think that's I don't fault your family at all

501
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: for doing that. Now that you know that that's how

502
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: serious it was. I imagine you just have a different

503
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: appreciation for playing that you know you wouldn't have. Definitely

504
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: grateful for the game. And honestly, it was just like

505
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: another challenge. And I love challenges. I love the competitiveness.

506
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: I love people saying that you can't do something. Even

507
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: with the injury, there is like, oh, you're not going

508
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: to be able to play, You're not going to be

509
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: able to do this, and you know, I mean, I

510
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: just love overcovering those obstacles. And it was just another challenge, honestly,

511
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: and it was just fun because we basically this this

512
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: tone of story kind of give me chills. When we

513
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: started to rehab, there was no rehab for it. Like

514
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: when you get an ACL it's like, Okay, this is

515
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: what you do for a cl this is what you

516
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: do for a shoulder. Like with mine, we didn't know,

517
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: like Zach Miller kind of had the same injury. He

518
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: called me and we talked, kind of talked. You know,

519
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't a it wasn't a playbook for this rehab.

520
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: So it was just like day to day like we

521
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: had come in and we kind of like wrote the

522
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: story on how to recover from it because you've never

523
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 1: seen it. You know, great stuff from DP and from Farrell.

524
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,240

Speaker 1: Saturday night. It's at ten thirty or after the late

564
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: local news on ABC thirteen. I love talking about the

565
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: history of this franchise and nobody does it better than

566
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty with three of our favorite Texans of all time,

567
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: Travis Johnson, Chester Pitts, and Wade Smith. Drew take it away.

568
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: Let's look back at some of the best times in

569
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: this franchise's history. Because, after all, it's homecoming. And since

570
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: it is homecoming, we got to get some guys who

571
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: are an important part of our franchise at Houston Texans,

572
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: some of your favorite Houston Texans. We got Travis Johnson

573
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: defensive linemen. We also have Chester Pitts and original Texan

574
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: and the great Wade Pro Bowl offensive lineman. They all

575
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: played in the trenches. They all had unique views at

576
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: some of these great moments in Texans history, both recently

577
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: and in the past. So let's start with another one

578
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: that was most recent and Deshaun Watson getting loose getting

579
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: the ball down the field Travis Johnson against the Bills

580
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: and the playoffs. That play pretty pretty huge, wasn't it? Oh?

581
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: No question. I think it showed our resilience as a

582
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: team when you when you think about the things we

583
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: were up against. Our backs against the wall, our quarterback

584
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: is about to get sacked. He scrambles, he moves over

585
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: to his right, he finds Taiwan Jones, who hasn't gotten

586
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: many plays in this game, and all of a sudden,

587
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones scrambles. I want to say, was it fifty

588
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: yards into to the five yard line? And it was

589
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. It was a great scene. It was a

590
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: great form of emotion. I can't say enough. I think

591
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: that was one of those Deshaun Watson, we have a ride.

592
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm gonna ever be in these playoffs. You're

593
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to You're gonna have to come and bring

594
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: your hard at every game because if you play on

595
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: beating the Texas, it's not gonna be easy job. Wade Smith.

596
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: We've seen the Shawn Watson do the magical time and

597
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: time and time again in his career, but that one,

598
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: it's got to take the cake and be at the

599
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: top of his list, doesn't it, no question about it.

600
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: That's the thing about de Sean man, you could you

601
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: could just there's so many opportunities that he's gone out

602
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: there and shown that he's gonna make a play that

603
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: nobody thinks that he has the ability to do. This

604
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: one was a huge one because it was in the playoffs,

605
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: and it was a game that the Texans were down

606
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: the entire ball game, and so you spent out of

607
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: that tackle where you nine out of ten times, really

608
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: ninety nine out of one hundred times, that's a sack,

609
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But DeShawn Watson flips that

610
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: sack into a huge game and got the Texans into

611
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: a position to kick a field goal to win it.

612
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: It was awesome job by de Sean, just one of

613
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: the many excellent plays that he's been able to pull off,

614
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: the miracle plays. He's a magician of Deshaun Watson. Glad

615
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: that we got him in here in Houston. Chester. You

616
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: and I were up at the deck and we had

617
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: the hands on with the microphone, and normally that blocks

618
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: out all the noise. It didn't after that play, we

619
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: could hear it. And when he went like this and

620
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: flexed in the replay, I think the roof almost came

621
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: off an energy stadium, don't you. It was as loud

622
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: a moment as I can ever remember in the stadium,

623
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: just this the magicalness of the play. It was flat out,

624
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: it was terrible call, the protection was not there. Just

625
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: everything that you can think of went wrong. And frankly,

626
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if any other player other than Deshaun

627
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: Watson in that moment can turn that dumpster fire of

628
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: a play into what's set up the game winning, you know,

629
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: just making the play, you know, to put the Texans

630
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: in position and win a game. It was. It was

631
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: truly magical and it was fun to watch from the

632
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: death for sure. All Right, let's sit stick with you, Chester,

633
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: because you were a part of the first great moment

634
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: in franchise history, and that great moment was about four

635
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: hours long. The first time the Texans put the pads

636
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: on you who were there? Now the city had been

637
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: without football for about six years. I'm guessing you felt

638
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: that happiness, that excitement, that energy from kickoff to the

639
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: time you guys went back into the locker room that night,

640
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: didn't you. There were so many emotions. There was so

641
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: much that went on, you know, preparing and getting ready

642
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: for that game. The Cowboys were absolute jerks and practice, uh,

643
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: their coaching staff, the players were just arrogant. They there

644
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: was no respect like it should be. There was no professionalism.

645
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: But then on top of that, when you tie in

646
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: the energy from the fans and the and the one

647
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: in fifteen signs is okay, just beat Dallas, you know,

648
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 1: those things stick out with you. But to go into

649
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: that game every announcer had, you know, the Cowboys picked it.

650
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: It was, you know, the true emotion that comes with

651
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: the world against you, no one believing in you, accept

652
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: the men on that field, and to go out there

653
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: and find a way to get that w and get

654
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: that victory to set the set tone for the whole

655
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: franchise going forward, a huge moment. Obviously, a game I'll

656
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: never missed my rookie year. I don't know what the

657
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: hell I'm doing out there to just just go out

658
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: there and play picked the guy, just block them. We

659
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: don't care just go. Uh it was. It was crazy.

660
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: So but but to get that done and get that

661
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: dew was it was amazing. It was awesome. Now, Wade,

662
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: you weren't here in Houston yet, but you're a proud

663
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 1: Houston Texan. However, you did grow up in enemy territory

664
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: in the Dallas area. I'm sure you remember that game

665
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: quite vividly, even though you hadn't quite made it to

666
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: Houston just yet, didn't you. Well, I tell you what, man,

667
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: growing up, I couldn't stand the Cowboys. I hated them

668
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: as a kid. I was a black sheep in my family.

669
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: And so when I saw that they lost to an

670
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: expansion team, I had a little chuckle to myself and

671
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: kept it moving. I was. I was happy for Houston

672
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: because the Texas it was the first time and having

673
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: there was a new franchise. Of course, the old franchise

674
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: left and went to Tennessee. And now you you know,

675
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: Bob mc near brings the franchise back and you play

676
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: in state rival. You know, Houston in Dallas had that

677
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: big brother, little brother or just you know brother. He's

678
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: sibling sibling rivalry that they have going on. Anyway, And

679
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: so for the Texans, to come out with that w

680
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: that was huge, And anytimes the Cowboys take an l

681
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: I always find it funny. My mom gets mad at

682
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: me and my grandmother and stuff like that. But ay,

683
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: it is what it is. I've never been a Cowboy fan. Travis.

684
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: You got to town a few years after that win,

685
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: but I imagine you heard a lot about it once

686
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: you got here, and I imagine you remember it too

687
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: when it happened when you were in college in two

688
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: thousand and two. Well, I'm actually I was. Actually I'm

689
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: a big fan of the game, big student of the game.

690
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: You know. So even after I make my comments, I

691
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: got a question for Chester because he because he said

692
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: what he said earlier. But I remember watching because Billy

693
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: Millard is another Los Angeles kid. Grew up right down

694
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: the street from me, literally two hundred yards. Me and

695
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 1: Billy Miller stayed from each other growing up. And when

696
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: Billy Miller, I'm like, hey man, we got a guy

697
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: from right here in the neighborhood. He's on the Texans.

698
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: Milford was there yet. I think he came a couple

699
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: of weeks later, but um, you know, I was just like, now,

700
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: I want to see how Billy does and then Billy

701
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: Miller usc Westlake High School from oak Park, California, it

702
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: catches the first ever touchdown for the Texans. I was like,

703
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, almost like almost like Kevin Garden, anything, it's possible,

704
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: Like I really felt like anything was possible, Like it

705
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: really felt that way. Like, man, he made it from

706
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: this spot. I know I could make it from this spot.

707
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: But Chester, I got a question for it. When Billy

708
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: caught that touchdown, you just said a minute ago to

709
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's his his his scramble, his flex was the

710
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: loudest thing you ever heard. How did that compare to

711
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: when Billy scored that touchdown and the entire place phil

712
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: with smoke almost from the fireworks and everything that was

713
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: going on in the state in that day. Oh man, Okay,

714
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: perspective changes everything, obviously, be you know, being down on

715
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: the field and running down and I'm on to I

716
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: was in the middle of blocking, so at the moment,

717
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: I didn't catch on until it a little bit after,

718
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: so I didn't notice just how loud it was. But

719
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: then you take a moment that you you know, you know,

720
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: the fat guys, we we trot down the field when

721
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: a touchdown and score to get ready for the extra point.

722
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: But then I took a moment. I remember just looking

723
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: around and panning around and seeing all these people going

724
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: absolutely bananas, and I just remember saying to myself, Man,

725
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: welcome to the NFL, because this this is truly what

726
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: it's all about. It was nuts, man, it was it

727
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: was us. It was, Oh, you're bringing it back for me.

728
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: Track like, give me some cartlage so I can go play.

729
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: He said, give you some cartilage. You need a lot

730
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: more than that. And you guys say, muscles, cartilage, some

731
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: more cartilage, a couple more pounds because right now you

732
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: two twenty five, you get pushed out in the trenches.

733
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: That's that's that new camera effects. It's on Instagram and

734
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: it makes me look skinny. And you guys talk about

735
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: cartilage and injuries and stuff like that. You'll all played

736
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: hurt at various times in your career because you played

737
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: down to the trenches. Let's stick with you, Wade Smith,

738
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: you played with broken ribs in an epic game against

739
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, goes into overtime. It's I think win

740
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: number nine of that season, and you only have one

741
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: loss on the Ledger at that point. But in twenty

742
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: take us back to how that game ends with the

743
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: Goats and Drake Johnson and the game winning walk off touchdown.

744
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: I tell you what, I don't think there was anybody

745
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: in that crowd or on that field it was more

746
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: thankful that that game was over at that point because

747
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: it was late in overtime. I broke my ribs in

748
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: the first quarter of that ball game and continue to

749
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: play through them is one of the most painful things

750
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: I've ever experienced in my life. I would say it

751
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: is the most painful thing. But by the end of

752
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: the ball game, when we throw that screen pass and

753
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,479
Speaker 1: Drake catches that ball and takes it to the house,

754
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,959
Speaker 1: all that pain went away. Man, it was a great

755
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: feeling because first of all, we're playing a team Jacksonville

756
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: Jaguars that I don't know. All of a sudden, I

757
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: believe quarterback got hurt, and so when the second quarterback

758
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: came in the game, all of a sudden, they could

759
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: move the ball. When their starting quarterback, I think it

760
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: was Blaine Gabbert, when he was in, they couldn't move

761
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: the ball when he got hurt, and all of a

762
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: sudden they moved the ball. So it was a back

763
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: and forth battle. We were down and seemed like most

764
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: of the game, but we came back in. You know,

765
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: we had a really good offense that year and we're

766
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,479
Speaker 1: able to move the ball up and down the field

767
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: and in over time. Drey was Dre. He's the goat

768
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: for the reason eighty caught the ball and we had

769
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: some great blocking on that play. Don't forget about Ben

770
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: Jones and Newton especially uh At a great block springblock

771
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: to get him to the house, and uh it was.

772
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: It was very loud. It wasn't as loud as um

773
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: that de Sean player, I don't think, but it was

774
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: definitely loud, and Drey jumped into the crowd and we

775
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: got the best fans in the in the in the

776
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: in the league, man. And so that was one of

777
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: those moments that people will never forgetting. People talk to

778
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: me all the time about that game in that moment,

779
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: and they I think they showed that on like NFL

780
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: dot Com the other day and had a bunch of responses.

781
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: That was just a great play by Dre in a

782
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: great game overall for the Texas. It's perfect that all

783
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: three of you are here for this because all three

784
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: of you played with Andre Johnson. All three of you

785
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: are friends with Andre Johnson. Sir Travis, where does that

786
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: one ranking all of the great plays that number eighty

787
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: made for this franchise? Well, I mean everyday ranks number

788
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: two behind him whooping Courtland Finnegan in my opinion. So

789
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: and I will tell him this, and I'll tell him

790
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: this all the time, you know, because I just got traded.

791
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: And I remember my wife calls him because we were

792
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: playing the Monday night game against the Raiders. My wife

793
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: called him, Dre fighting and I'm like, let me change

794
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: the channel real fast from the hotel in Oakland, and

795
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: I see him walking back to the locker room and

796
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: I laughed because I called him, and he picks up

797
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: the phone and I'm like, man, you straight, we need

798
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: to go over there him and finish a job. Now, Man,

799
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: I took care of it. You don't want no part

800
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: of it. So when I tell you, like, as far

801
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: as Andres made so many plays in this franchise that

802
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: at no point from start to now can you say

803
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: there's there's he wasn't a part of it or it

804
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: wasn't important from how you saw DeAndre Hopkins maturation when

805
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: he was here and him making plays and coming immediately

806
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: to Andre and saying this is what I saw this,

807
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, and getting that information at feedback. I think

808
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: it is phenomenal. When you think about the catch he

809
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: had in Washington, Uh, the big catch he had in Washington,

810
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: that was a big catch. When the Minnesota catch where

811
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: he's like almost upside it looked like he's standing on

812
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: top of somebody's shoulder, that was a big catch. Uh.

813
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: The catch against Arizona where he ran over the entire

814
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: defense and clearing my roommate. So my roommate. I still

815
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: don't let him live that down. Brian mcfatt And I'm like, dude,

816
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: you're doing all them curls for the girls in the

817
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: waiting room, but when it came time to see at

818
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: you even want no part of that action. You know,

819
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: there's there's I mean, there's so many great ones. When

820
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: you think about the play action pass, all you can

821
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: see is him catch over the shoulder pass from from

822
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: David Carr, from Tony Banks, from Matt Sab from all

823
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: these guys, and you say, man, what his career could

824
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: have been. And you just really are so excited because

825
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: he's still got a Hall of Fame career and you

826
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: sitting there like, dude, he literally could probably be he's

827
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: our Jerry Rice. But I think if we have anybody

828
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: on his level throwing him the ball over this time,

829
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: I think it gives us, it gives his career a

830
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: whole different meaning. Yeah, hey, Chester, you saw him up close.

831
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: One of the things that always struck me as as

832
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: an outside observer was it didn't matter who they played.

833
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: He found a way to get wide open and everyone

834
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: knew he was the focal point of the offense. He

835
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: had Still there were times when there was nobody like

836
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: within five or six yards of him. That's not an

837
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: easy thing to do, is it, Chester, Well, let's it's

838
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: just a testament to his skills and the man and

839
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: the player that he is, Dre. No matter what was

840
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: going on when we were up big or we were

841
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: getting our tails kick, he was the same man, same player.

842
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: You know, entered the game the exact same way. And

843
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: when you can bring that level, that level of consistency,

844
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: along with his level of skill, along with his passion

845
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: that he has for the game, you very quickly understand

846
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: why everyone has nothing but great things to say about

847
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: him and on every Sunday. He brought his heart hat

848
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: to work, and he was just a Hall of Fame

849
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: player play in playout, game in game out, season in

850
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: season out, and he just found a way to continue

851
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: to get those things done. He's my favorite player, He'll

852
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 1: always be my favorite player, and he is the greatest

853
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: Texan of all time. And I just I can't say

854
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: enough good things about Dre. All Right, let's talk about

855
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: a two step that the Texans did with the Bengals

856
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: about a month apart, late in the two thousand and

857
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: eleventh season and then into the playoffs. The first one

858
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: was the cla sure for all but two seconds in

859
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: a regular season game at Cincinnati. The Texans trailed, but

860
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: young t J. Yates as a rookie, helped guide that

861
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: team down the field way. You were in the huddle

862
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: with him, and at the very end he finds Kevin

863
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: Walter for the touchdown, and a few minutes later after

864
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: the game ends, New Orleans takes care of the Titans,

865
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: and you guys, the Texans were in the playoffs for

866
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: the first time. Tell me about that play. It was

867
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: an amazing play after an amazing drive. There were a

868
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: bunch of plays that set up that last pass to

869
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: Kevin Walter, but you had Owen Daniels converting third down

870
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: after third down after third down, you had to scramble

871
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: by t J. Yates I think picked up like sixteen

872
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: yards or whatever in the first down. And all these

873
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: plays we had a past interference called on Jacoby Jones

874
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: that got us in that position. And then you know,

875
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: Garret Kubiak was a hell of a play caller and

876
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: he made a play call that got Kevin Walters wide open.

877
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: T J. Yates that was his rookie year coming in.

878
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: You know, match Shop injured that season. That was a

879
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: struggle of a performance offensively in that ballgame. Like you mentioned,

880
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: we only led for two seconds in that game. It

881
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: was a struggle, but we never we never had any

882
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: doubt that we can go down there and score touchdown

883
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: and make it happen. And that's exactly what we did.

884
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: We had a bunch of guys on that team. I

885
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: tell people all the time I was part of a

886
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: super Bowl caliber team. We didn't win the Super Bowl

887
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: that year. We talked about Andre Johnson for the past

888
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: few minutes. He was out that ball game. He was

889
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: standing on the sideline watching that game but we were

890
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: able to pull it out and make it happen. And

891
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, coming home from that game and

892
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 1: meeting the thousands and thousands of fans that were waiting

893
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: for us at the stadium was my greatest memory of

894
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: being a human Houston Texans because you could fit. The

895
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: energy in the city was palpable, and myself and Duwayne

896
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: Brown stayed after the pep rally because we missed the

897
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 1: Pepper rally because we're offensive lineman and we moved slow,

898
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: so we missed the Pepper Rally. But the fans caught

899
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: us as we were coming in they were leaving out,

900
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: and we stood out there for probably an hour and

901
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: a half signing every single autograph and it was an

902
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: amazing moment. And fans come up to me and talk

903
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: to me about that to this day, about what a

904
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: great performance that was by the Texans and just await

905
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: a great run that was for the organization, and so

906
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: I was glad to be a part of it. Was

907
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: an awesome play, an awesome day that was as enjoyable

908
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: as anything that I've had on All Access in a while.

909

Speaker 1: of spark for this organization. Five nights a week, they

946

00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: of course I am so glad to be with you now.

953
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: With no game this week, I don't have any keys

954
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: to the game, but if I did, they would be

955
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: brought to you by First Community Credit Union First Glance

956
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: Keys to the Game I brought to you by FCCU FECU,

957
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: the official credit Union of the Houston Texans. So this

958
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: is kind of like keys to game, but not. It's

959
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: my predictions and I go straight up and against the

960
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: spread for every game this weekend. I've never picked the

961
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 1: Texans game because it's very, very difficult to go against

962
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: my heart in my head, so I just don't do it.

963
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: I haven't done it ever since I've been doing this.

964
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: I think I've done this since the very first year,

965
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 1: so for seven years, I haven't done it. I won't

966
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: do it. I would never. I just couldn't do that.

967
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: Even if I felt like, man, the Texans are gonna

968
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: crush this team by fifty, I couldn't do it. I

969
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: just never heart and head, especially wallet, no way. Now,

970
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: this isn't meant to be for money making purposes, but

971
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,720
Speaker 1: it's just a fun way to talk about the games

972
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: that are going to take place this weekend. Now. You know,

973
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: the Texans are on a buy. The Jaguars are also

974
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: on a buy, so there are a few less games

975
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: than we normally have. And there also could be some

976
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: COVID situations, you know what I'm talking about. I hate

977
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: to bring it up, but there have been some players

978
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: that have tested. Todd Davis, linebacker for the Broncos. Maybe

979
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: he tested positive. No Viking. Sorry, so there are some

980
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 1: games to watch now. Obviously the Texans have Max Sharpen

981
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: test positive for COVID nineteen, but with no game this weekend,

982
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: there's nothing at risk. You never know what can happen

983
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: over the weekend. We have seen this be just a

984
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: completely maddening, crazy, frustrating Are they gonna play? Aren't they

985
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: gonna play? Sort of season. Now the NFL has gotten

986
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: all their games off College not so lucky, but the

987
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 1: NFL has gotten all their games off, even in moving

988
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: schedules around and moving things around. But this is the

989
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 1: week eight as we see it, and again could move

990
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: games to Monday, maybe even Tuesday. Depending on some of

991
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: the COVID situations. You see a COVID situation hit college

992
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: football Heisman Trophy front runner Trevor Lawrence. I guess you

993
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: could say he's the front runner. He is probably not

994
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: gonna win a Heisman now because he more than likely

995
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: will miss this weekend and potentially the following weekend, which

996
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: is a massive game with Notre Dame because of COVID nineteen.

997
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: He tested positives, So clemps will have to go with

998
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:56,439
Speaker 1: freshman DJ who has a five star recruit, big time

999
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: baseball player as well pitcher. So it's as if Clemson's

1000
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: losing talent, especially when Trevor Lawrence does move to the NFL.

1001
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 1: But they'll be without Trevor Lawrence, so either way things

1002
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: could change. But as it stands now, that's what I'll

1003
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,479
Speaker 1: project with each and every game. Got it good? Okay, glad,

1004
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: we're on the same page. So let's get into it.

1005
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: But before we do, I need my music. All right,

1006
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: There is NFL films music going in the background. It

1007
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: just it's just kind of like daily life. It just

1008
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: kind of runs in the background. I love hearing it.

1009
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: It's my life blood. Last night I would have gotten

1010
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: that one wrong. Sorry, guys, I would have gotten last

1011
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: night wrong. Last night, the Lanta went to Carolina, Carolina's

1012
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: favored I lay the points, took Carolina and the Falcons

1013
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: come through the twenty five to seventeen win, and the

1014
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 1: Falcons would be three and o under interim head coach

1015
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: Rahee Morris had Rahee Morris instructed Matt Ryan to take

1016
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: a knee over the last two plays instead of handing

1017
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: off where Todd Gurley look. It's hard to stop a

1018
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: running back from doing something instinctive, So taking knee twice

1019
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 1: kick a twenty seven year field won't win a game.

1020
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: They didn't either way. Lee Morris two and one as

1021
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 1: interim head coach there Atlanta after twenty seventeen win last

1022
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: night over the Panthers. So we get to Sunday in

1023
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 1: the roles are finally reversed. The power in the AFC East.

1024
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills at five and two, not quite the

1025
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 1: dregs of the AFC East, but third place team the

1026
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: New England Patriots two and four. Cam Newton has not

1027
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 1: looked good at all. I would imagine he's on a

1028
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: very shortly. She was replaced last week against the forty

1029
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: nine ers. I think this is a not so much

1030
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: a juggernaut that the Patriots are going to face. But

1031
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: this Bill's team is very, very good, especially playing at home.

1032
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo's favored by four. I think Buffalo wins US by

1033
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So take the Buffalo Bill to win, go

1034
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: to six and two, cover the four, and sin the

1035
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: Patriots to two and five. The Texans will see the

1036
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: Patriots on November twenty second, I believe, yes, twenty seconds.

1037
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: Then you got Titans and Bengals. Now this one, it

1038
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,439
Speaker 1: takes place in Cincinnati. That's the only good thing really

1039
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: that Cincinnati has going right now, because Cincinnati is without

1040
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: center tackle and guy knows what else. They are banged

1041
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,399
Speaker 1: up to be banged up. And the Titans are coming

1042
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: in fresh. Yes, they took one on the chin last

1043
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 1: weekend against the Steelers, but they are looking to rebound,

1044
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: and I think they will rebound in a big way.

1045
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: The Titans will go to Cincinnati, they will win this

1046
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: thirty nine to twenty seven. That's more than the six

1047
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: and a half the Tennessee is favored by. I think

1048
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: the Titans offense for what I saw, and I've seen

1049
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 1: the best offenses in the league great offense, it seems

1050
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Packers, even the Vikings have a great offense.

1051
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: The Chiefs, the Ravens, the Steelers, the Titans. The Titans

1052
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,720
Speaker 1: offense is right up there in that mix. Titans winners

1053
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: thing thirty nine twenty seven. That's more than the six

1054
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: and a half the Titans are favored by to take.

1055
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: The Titans to win and to cover as a road favorites.

1056
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: The Raiders go to the Browns. It's some really interesting one.

1057
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,399
Speaker 1: I was kind of curious to see where Vegas would

1058
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: put this one on its own team and the Cleveland Browns.

1059
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: The Browns come from behind and then lose it, then

1060
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: come from behind, then lose it, then come from behind

1061
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 1: to win the game last week against Cincinnati thirty seven

1062
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: thirty four. But it's the Raiders this week. The Raiders

1063
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: are not the Bengals. The Raiders have played kind of

1064
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: up and down football. They've had some great wins the Chiefs,

1065
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 1: the Saints, then they got pounded last week at home

1066
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, look, the Bucks are

1067
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 1: arguably one of the top three teams in the league,

1068
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: but you just don't know from week to week what

1069
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:03,399
Speaker 1: you're getting from the However, after getting spanked last week

1070
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: by the Buccaneers, I think the Raiders are gonna play

1071
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: much much better. But the weather could be a factor,

1072
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: and that I think is gonna favor the Browns. The

1073
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: Browns are favored by two and a half, and I

1074
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: think that's dead on. I was gonna pick the Browns

1075
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: by three, So let's do it. Let's lay the points

1076
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: with the home favorite and take the Browns to win

1077
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: to move to six and two before the Texans fly

1078
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: there on the fifteenth after their game with the Jaguars.

1079
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: The following week is with the Browns. The Raiders then

1080
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: fall two, three and four Colts and Lions another noon

1081
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: kick in Detroit. Detroit had an improbable last play of

1082
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: the game win Stafford to Hockinson to beat the Falcons.

1083
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: Should have never won that ball game, but they did.

1084
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: That's two in a row for the Lions three and three,

1085
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: Colts four and two coming off a bye, got some

1086
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: guys healthy. Darius Leonard it looks like will play. Ryan

1087
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: Kelly is questionable the center, but I don't know if

1088
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna matter. The Lions did ad Everson Griffin, but

1089
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how much we'll see him. But I

1090
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: think the culture just better than the Lions. Go Lions.

1091
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: The cults are gonna win this, and they're favored by three.

1092
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: That's probably about right. But I'm going road faith to

1093
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: win and also to cover all Right, another Neon game,

1094
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,919
Speaker 1: a lot of new games, Vikings and the Packers seeing

1095
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: both teams, and I don't think it's even close. The

1096
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: opener went to the Packers up in Minnesota spanked him.

1097
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: Now this one takes place in Green Bay, Domante Adams.

1098
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: You know the horror story that was last weekend. He

1099
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: got busy and he'll do it again this weekend because

1100
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings are all kinds of banged up in the secondary. Again,

1101
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings fall to one in six, the pack wins.

1102
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: The question to me becomes, the spread is six and

1103
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: a half. Do the Vikings have enough juice to get

1104
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: inside the six and a half? You know what I

1105
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: think they do. I think the Vikings will score enough

1106
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: points to make this thing interesting. It does appear as

1107
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: if Dalvin Cook is gonna be ready to play, and

1108
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: I think he makes a massive difference for this Vikings offense. Now,

1109
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: how much that remains to be seen, But I think

1110
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be enough. This feels high scoring again, but

1111
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings will at least get inside the

1112
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: six and a half, but give the Packers to win

1113
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: to get the six and one. Vikings fall to one

1114
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: and six. There's a game in Kansas City. I don't

1115
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: know if you want to call it a game exhibition,

1116
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: but the O and seven Jets travel to Kansas City.

1117
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City is favored by twenty and a half, and

1118
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that's enough. I think the Chiefs are

1119
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: gonna beat them by forty. Yeah, they'll probably pull the

1120
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: Dogs off, make it thirty. That's more than twenty and

1121
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: a half. The Chiefs go to seven and one. The

1122
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Jets fall to oh and eight. I don't know how

1123
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Adam Gays survives beyond this, but we'll see either way.

1124
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs win big against the Jets, even though Chris Jones

1125
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: for the chief says the Jets are a good team,

1126
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: but you just don't know except one. Okay, we'll see

1127
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: another noon game. Dolphins at home against the Rams. The

1128
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Rams had a big win at Sofi Stadium on Monday night.

1129
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: Now they got a fly across country to go take

1130
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: on the Dolphins. Not only that they take on Tuah

1131
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Tongua Violoa in his first start as a rookie. The

1132
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins coming off a bye last week. Brian Floores announced

1133
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: it before going into the bye. It's exactly what Bill

1134
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 1: O'Brien did at twenty fourteen with Ryan Mallett. He made

1135
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: the decision going into the bye. FITZI was a starter.

1136
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Happen to him twice. Oh my gosh, feel for the guy.

1137
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 1: Made a decision, go Ryan Mallett. We went up to

1138
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland as an underdog. Cleveland was six and three, I think,

1139
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: and we knocked him off. Mount played really well that game,

1140
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 1: then played horribly in the Cincinnati game. Found out who

1141
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: was hurt. He's out for the year. Went back to

1142
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: fits him. Hopefully that doesn't happen to TOA. But I

1143
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit too much for him against

1144
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: that Rams defense. I think this one's close. Tho. The

1145
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Rams are favored by three and a half. I'm gonna

1146
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: say it gets inside that three and a half. This

1147
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: feels like seventeen fourteen twenty one, like really really tight game.

1148
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: The Dolphins will play well at home, they'll help TOA,

1149
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: but the Rams are just too much. They win goes

1150
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: six and two, they'll not cover. I think the Dolphins

1151
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: will get inside at three and a half. Wow, it's

1152
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: hard to say many more I think about it. Boy, Yeah,

1153
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with it. Dolphins take the points with

1154
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, but the Rams will get the outright win,

1155
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 1: all right, the game of one of the games in

1156
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: the day. Yeah, I guess it's I guess it is

1157
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: the game of the day. Where am I saying? The

1158
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Steelers take on the Ravens at noon? Now, Hey, I'm

1159
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 1: not totally sure why this game didn't get next to

1160
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 1: Sunday night. There's got to be something with the scheduling.

1161
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: Who's Week nine Sunday night and Saints some buccaniers. I

1162
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not totally sure why this game is

1163
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: not at Sunday night. But either way, the Steelers are

1164
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: taken on the Ravens six and oh versus five and

1165
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: one AFC North grudge match. This is fantastic, unfortunately for

1166
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I think this is where the first l

1167
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: comes in. I think the Ravens need to get a

1168
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: win at against a really good football team, and the

1169
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Steelers are a great football team undefeated right now. But

1170
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: I think this is where Devin Bush not being available,

1171
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: will start to show itself against the Ravens and Lamar Jackson.

1172
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: Give the Ravens the win, and you know what, the

1173
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Ravens are fair about four and a half, so let's

1174
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,919
Speaker 1: give them the cover. As the Ravens knock the Steelers off.

1175
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: The Ravens moved through the top of the AFC North,

1176
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: both teams at six and one, but obviously the Ravens

1177
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: would win, will have the tiebreaker. Ravens get a win

1178
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: and a cover over the Steelers. The Chargers go to

1179
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos in the first afternoon window game justin Herbert's

1180
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: been playing pretty well, Drew Locke not so much. The

1181
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Lock has been banged up, so we'll give him a

1182
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt, and I think the Broncos, banged up,

1183
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: circle the wagons and get a win. The Chargers are

1184
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: favored by three and a half, but I've got so

1185
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: many road favorites winning it's got to go the other way,

1186
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: and I think it goes the other way in this one.

1187
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 1: I'll give the Broncos a narrow win, but it doesn't

1188
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: matter because the Charges are favorites. So I'm going with

1189
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: the Broncos to win, and I'm taking all those points,

1190
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: all three and a half of them for the Broncos

1191
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: as well. I don't know how great the Broncos football

1192
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: team is. I know the Chargers can be really, really

1193
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: good with Justin Herbert. It's kind of scary when you

1194
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: think about it. Man, think of the quarterbacks and the afs,

1195
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: the young quarterbacks. If two of Pan's up in Miami,

1196
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: who him too in Miami? Just Herbert with the Chargers,

1197
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: Joey b with the Bengals, Baker in Cleveland, the Shawn

1198
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: and I mean, before you know it, DeShawn and Patrick

1199
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes are the old gray Beards. It's unbelievable either way.

1200
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: Broncos get the upset win and we'll take those three

1201
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: and a half points. Saints take on the Bears. It's

1202
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: a really good afternoon window game. It's in Chicago. Yet

1203
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: New Orleans is favored by five and a half. Why

1204
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: because the Bears offense is just flat out garbage. I

1205
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: don't like that five and a half though. I think

1206
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: the Bears are gonna play better. They're gonna bounce back

1207
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: a little bit from that loss to the Rams. It's

1208
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: a close game. It's like seventeen sixteen, twenty one, nineteen

1209
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: sort of thing. I'm gonna get the Bears an upset

1210
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: win at home over the New Orleans Saints. I don't

1211
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: know if I feel sort of by for Field sort

1212
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: of pad doing that, but I'm going to Saints come

1213
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: off and bye. I don't know. They beat the Panthers

1214
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: last week twenty seven, twenty four, but the Saints are

1215
01:04:55,960 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: going down with the Bears bounce back up that win

1216
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: at home. God, I can't believe I did that all

1217
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 1: right last afternoon game. But the afternoon games are just fantastic.

1218
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers traveling to Seattle four nine ers of

1219
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: four and three, huge win against the Patriots last week.

1220
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: Now they got to get back on the bird and

1221
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: fly up to Seattle. Seattle is coming back home after

1222
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: losing to Arizona when they had a ten point lead

1223
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: with about two minutes and forty five seconds left in

1224
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: the game and blew it. I think the Seahawks, as

1225
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: a three point favorite, are gonna beat the forty nine

1226
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 1: ers game a small bit of revenge for last year's

1227
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: Week seventeen Sunday night loss, a three inches away from

1228
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 1: the game winning touchdown loss let's go Seahawks. I think

1229
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: they win this winning thing rather comfortably, somewhere from seven

1230
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 1: and beyond beating the forty nine ers, they'll fall to four,

1231
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 1: five and three. The Seahawks go to six and one,

1232
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: and then Sunday Night? Who did this to us? Who

1233
01:05:55,800 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: did this on Sunday Night? Ben the new and the

1234
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys against the Eagles. Really, we couldn't flex out

1235
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 1: of that game. We couldn't flex out of Cowboys Eagles.

1236
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: Eagles are favored by ten and a half against the rookies.

1237
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Never started before, Ben Denucci, you know what, I think

1238
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will circle the wagons too. God, I can't

1239
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 1: believe I just said that. But they won't win. Eagles win.

1240
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys make it close. So take the points of the Cowboys,

1241
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: but the Eagles get the straight out win. Monday Night

1242
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: Buccaneers Giants, Oh good lord. Tom Brady doesn't throw for

1243
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: eight thousand yards in that game. Something is definitely wrong.

1244
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: Bucks win spreads thirteen, and you know I have to

1245
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: win by thirteen and more. So there if you go,

1246
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: all right? When we get back, my man David Fletcher,

01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 1: Big twelve, just like we've done fourteen previous years, coming

1307
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: back for the fifteenth edition, and really exciting to have

Speaker 1: a splash around postseason college football coming back to Houston

1309
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: December thirty first, flesh. We've seen that date. I mean,

1310
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 1: I guess anywhere for the twenty seventh, all the way

1311
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: to the thirty first. It's I'm trying to think if

1312
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: this is the first time I remember a thirty first date,

1313
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 1: how do you feel about having that game not only

1314
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: on the thirty first, but the night of the thirty

1315
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: first as well at NRG Stadium. Yeah, it's it. Look,

1316
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: it's incredibly exciting for our group and for our community.

1317
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,720
Speaker 1: You know, the Texas Bowl and it's fifteenth year with

1318
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: Lone Star Spots Entertainment, the Houston Texans behind it, and

1319
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: our partnership with the ESPN, We've done so much good

1320
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: for the community. We've had millions of dollars raised for

1321
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: Depulchian Children's Center and uh an incredible spotlight on on

1322
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: making Houston the premier destination for college football. And this

1323
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 1: will be another feather in that cap. We couldn't be

1324
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 1: more thrilled. You look at you look at the landscape

1325
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,640
Speaker 1: and the schedule right now, John, you know, this is

1326
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 1: our second time to be on New Year's Eve. M

01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 1: A and M played Northwestern uh years back on New

1328
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Year's Eve morning. But being primetime is something special. And

1329
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: you look around the schedule and you've got the Cotton

1330
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,720

01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: the and the Sugar Bowl, and we're right there in

1334
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 1: between them in that prime real estate. Great visibility for

1335
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 1: our community and an opportunity for us to um really

1336
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 1: put our stamp on another um UM great event here

1337
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 1: in Houston. Despite you know this challenges, it's it's gonna

1338
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. Yeah, And Fletch, I want,

1339
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 1: I do want to talk to you a little bit

1340
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: about those those challenges in some sense because I know

1341
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 1: between now and thirty first, a lot can change. I

1342
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 1: mean we've seen that since since middle of March, there's

1343
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 1: been a lot that's changed in all of our world. Um.

1344
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: But do you have a feel for um, you know

1345
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:28,559
Speaker 1: kind of the Bull Week, because to me, the Bull

1346
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 1: Week for Texas Bowl is really what makes it special.

1347
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the game is, you know, kind of the

1348
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 1: final uh you know, the final celebration piece. But there's

1349
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: so many different things that go with the week of

1350
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:45,560
Speaker 1: the Texas Bowl. I have I'm sure you've given it consideration.

1351
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: But do you know how much of Bull Week, how

1352
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:52,799
Speaker 1: much fan interaction there will be allowed for the Texas bowlers.

1353
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:55,839
Speaker 1: That's something that that you and analysis seeing the Texans

1354
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: and everybody else ESPN have all got to figure out. Well,

1355
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: it's certainly working towards that, Johnny, you know it is.

1356
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 1: It is a true celebration of the culture, heritage, and

1357
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: football tradition of the lone Star state. We take great

1358
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: pride in being UM a true ambassadors for our community.

1359
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: UM doing a spectacular job and a hospitality front and making,

1360
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, our our guests, whether they be the teams

1361
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: or the officials or the fans traveling into Houston, UM

1362
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: making sure they feel special and they're walking away with

1363
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: something memorable. Twenty twenty obviously has challenges as it relates

1364
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 1: to that. UM. You know, I will say we do

1365
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: anticipate a very scale back. UM Bull Week and and

1366
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: and fan UM interaction as it relates to what we

1367
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: can do UM for for the teams. We want to

1368
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 1: ensure a safe and fun atmosphere for everybody, UM and UM.

1369
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: To that end, we still have not finalized our fan

1370
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 1: parameters as of yet, UH for for this year's Texas

1371
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 1: Bull but UM we do want. We do encourage fans

Speaker 1: Texas Bowl dot com. Get on that priority wait list.

1375
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 1: You'll be the first to know what our ticket situation

1376
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 1: is and and we'll certainly UM as the parameters allow

1377
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: us to UM do everything we can to to make

1378
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 1: it a fun experience at NRG Stadium. UM and and

1379
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:20,599
Speaker 1: you know we're right now, like everybody else, UM, got

1380
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 1: our eye on what we can control and trying to

1381
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 1: do the things to make sure that what we can

1382
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: do is exceptional and right now really proud of of

1383
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 1: of what our team and the ESPN team and really

1384
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: everybody that's involved is done to this day to get

1385
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 1: us to this point. We certainly know that there are

1386
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: brighter days ahead and UM and UH we're looking forward

1387
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,760
Speaker 1: to this year's event, but certainly looking to build upon

1388
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: this year to make it an even more fun, safe,

1389
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 1: in safe environment in twenty twenty one and beyond. Fletch,

1390
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable what you guys have done in the past

1391
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: when faced with you know, all kinds of challenges. I mean,

1392
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: I think back to twenty seventeen when by Ulis you

1393
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 1: had to move because of Hurricane r from Houston to

1394
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,680
Speaker 1: New Orleans. I don't even know, there was forty eight

1395
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:06,680
Speaker 1: hours notice that that was really going to happen, and

1396
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 1: somehow you guys pulled off an incredible event that night.

1397
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 1: So I know, in the midst of a pandemic, you

1398
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 1: guys will be able to pull off a tremendous event.

1399
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: And you will also be able to pull off a

1400
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 1: tremendous event because you have two great partners, the SEC

1401
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve, and they you know, with a

1402
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 1: few hiccups in between, but they have been playing football

1403
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: since the beginning of the year. And Fletch, how excited

1404
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:31,640
Speaker 1: does that make you that you'll see two conferences that

1405
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: have had maybe not full seasons, but about as close

1406
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 1: as you're gonna get, you know, nine and ten games seasons.

1407
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 1: How valuable is it to have the SEC in the

1408
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 1: Big Twelve in the bowl game? I know it's always valuable,

1409
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 1: but especially this year because they've been they've been going

1410
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:48,920
Speaker 1: at it since early September, since the being a beginning

1411
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: of what we're used to college football starting. How important

1412
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 1: is it to have those two? How valuable are those

1413
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 1: two to the bowl? They're incredibly valuable. We can't thank

1414
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: them enough for their continued support over the years. You know,

1415
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve has been an anchor, UH, cornerstone to

1416
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: this event since since the beginning, since we got involved

1417
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,919
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six. UH. In two thousand and fourteen,

1418
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 1: we were proud to join the SEC family, and we're

1419
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:17,599
Speaker 1: entering the second cycle in that this is our first

1420
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: year of that six year new agreement that we we

1421
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,600
Speaker 1: have with both conferences, the seventh year overall of this

1422
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 1: matchup and all it's done is be one of the

1423
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: biggest college football events in the country, UM, the largest

1424
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:33,680
Speaker 1: college football event here in the Houston community. UH. And

1425
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 1: and you mentioned, you know the fact that both of

1426
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: them have been playing UH since September. Would have loved

1427
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 1: to have seen Baylor and Old Miss start off our

1428
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 1: year UH in this year's past kickoff. But you know,

1429
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,600
Speaker 1: you look at the way that the conference schedules for

1430
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: each of them have flowed, and um, you know, it's

1431
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 1: it's really it's really exciting to see. But it's really

1432
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 1: interesting to see how how how some some new teams

1433
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: have have arisen in this environment. Here you're seeing great

1434
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:00,719
Speaker 1: play out of out of Kansas State, uh in Iowa State,

1435
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, Matt Campbell's doing there, bouncing back from a

1436
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 1: really tough opening week loss, you know, and then you've

1437
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: got the stalwarts of Oklahoma and Texas and Baylor kind

1438
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: of kind of still trying to get their footing. Will

1439
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:15,760
Speaker 1: be interested to see how they play out, but you know,

1440
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what comes out of the Big twelve.

1441
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State certainly in the driver's seat right now and

1442
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,680
Speaker 1: has a tough matchup with the Longhorns this weekend. But

1443
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, coming out of our game last year, a

1444
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: theme that we've seen over the years, they played really

1445
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 1: really well to finish the year. Surprising to get to

1446
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,799
Speaker 1: be Hubbard back and and um, you know, coach Gundy

1447
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,599
Speaker 1: has got them rolling along, particularly on the defensive side

1448
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,599
Speaker 1: of the ball, which you very rarely hear Big twelve

1449
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 1: in defense. But you know on the other side, the

1450
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: SEC outside of Alabama and they're continued dominance. It's um,

1451
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's again really interesting to see how

1452
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 1: some of the teams are playing. Love seeing what Arkansas

1453
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: is doing with coach Pittman there. I mean really could

1454
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:59,600
Speaker 1: could be three and one, maybe four and oh you

1455
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: know fifth. The ball bounces a couple of different ways

1456
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,560
Speaker 1: for them. And you know with the new coaches in Mississippi,

1457
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 1: there's there's a ton of intrigue, you know, not after

1458
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: the starts they want, but um, you know, with as

1459
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 1: it relates to this Bowl season, all of them in

1460
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:15,840
Speaker 1: play for US and and for for college football fans

1461
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 1: here in Houston and for our organization, that's really exciting

1462
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: to see. And um, we were looking forward to that

1463
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: matchup to close out the new year on December thirty first,

1464
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:26,920
Speaker 1: and um, you know, we'll continue to do what we

1465
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: can to ensure a safe and fun environment and keep

1466
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:33,639
Speaker 1: our eyeballs glued to the televisions to see how it unfolds.

1467
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 1: It's definitely a different year than it's ever been. Flesh.

1468
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:38,760
Speaker 1: I remember the twenty fourteen seas at the end of

1469
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 1: the twenty fourteenth season, Arkansas came to play Texas and

1470
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: it was one of the most electric atmospheres I've seen.

1471
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,600
Speaker 1: The fact that that Arkansas has gotten itself back in

1472
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 1: Bowl contention is I think it's I think it's fantastic.

1473
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: One last one, flesh four, let you go. And this

1474
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: is more a maybe a logistics question, but typically team

1475
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: played twelve games. That SEC's playing ten. I want to

1476
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:04,560
Speaker 1: say the Big twelve playing ten, and they may not

1477
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:05,800
Speaker 1: be able to get all of them in. I know

1478
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 1: some games have been canceled or postponed or moved, but

1479
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:11,600
Speaker 1: you might not get a full ten game schedule, and

1480
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:13,679
Speaker 1: that's already two less than what you normally would play.

1481
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 1: Is the Bowl requirement going to change? My guess is

1482
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 1: that there are going to be enough teams available for

1483
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 1: the Texas Bowl that have six wins, because that's obviously

1484
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: the benchmark. But will there be a consideration for teams

1485
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: that finished maybe five and five, considering that would be

1486
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 1: a six and six in a regular season. Are the

1487
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 1: Bulls going to sort of drop that requirement for twenty

1488
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: twenty one because of maybe the shortened schedules of some teams,

1489
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: if not all teams. Yeah, it's a great question, Johnny.

1490
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 1: So so Bowl season has definitely got a different look

1491
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: to it this year. A couple things that are of

1492
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: note along the lines what you were asking. Number one,

1493
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 1: the NCAA has allowed a one year waiver to the

1494
01:19:55,439 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 1: eligibility requirements, so that six and six threshold is technically

1495
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 1: on pause this year. It does open it up for

1496
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 1: some interesting conversations. UM. You know, as it relates to

1497
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: the performance of teams on the field. UM, your record

1498
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,600
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily going to be part of the part of

1499
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 1: the the application this year. So you know, with the

1500
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,639
Speaker 1: with the pandemic going on, with a focus on safety,

1501
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: UM that's always there, but heightened in this particular environment. UM.

1502
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 1: I think really the goal for for all of the

1503
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:28,840
Speaker 1: Bowl season UM partners is to really focus on UM

1504
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: the best possible matchups UM, keep them regional in nature,

1505
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:37,640
Speaker 1: really kind of limit the UM the the outside influences

1506
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: and the opportunities to uh, you know, impact their operational

1507
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: logistics and and and really UM get them in and

1508
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: out and on their way. UM with UM with planning

1509
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 1: for the offseason, certainly want to celebrate UM the year

1510
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 1: that was and and UM and really focus on creating UM,

1511
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 1: you know, an opportunity to see matchups you don't typically

1512
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,600
Speaker 1: get to see during the regular season. UM. But but

1513
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: along those lines too, you've had a number of bull

1514
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:09,559
Speaker 1: season UM events that have have either based on choice

1515
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: or on circumstances, UM elected to not participate at this

1516
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 1: point this year. So you've only got thirty four thirty three.

1517
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 1: I say only but thirty three. I believe games that

1518
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 1: are playing there were scheduled to be forty three. So UM.

1519
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 1: So you know, certainly from an inventory perspective, it's UM

1520
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: then'll be a little bit more like the old days

1521
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:34,640
Speaker 1: where uh where UM you know, you see teams that

1522
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 1: UM UM are lobbying for their opportunities UM or they

1523
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:40,560
Speaker 1: want to stay in an area that UM you know

1524
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:43,800
Speaker 1: is regionally relevant to them so that they can UM

1525
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 1: you know, maintain strong, strong operational protocols. UM. And I

1526
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,640
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be uh something that's again a lot

1527
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 1: a lot of time between now and them, But I

1528
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be something that's good for the fans

1529
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 1: and good for UM, you know, the college football universe.

1530
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 1: That you may see some different matchups this year than

1531
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 1: you typically would here in Houston. We know we're gonna

1532
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 1: be Big twelve SEC. That's great news for us, as

1533
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 1: it's been each of the last seven years. And you know,

1534
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: given what this event has been able to do in

1535
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:14,879
Speaker 1: terms of economic impact, in terms of viewership and eyeballs

1536
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 1: on our community, are on our organization and just creating, um,

1537
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, a true celebration. You know, we may have

1538
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: a little bit different look this year, but ultimately, at

1539
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that's what we're continue to

1540
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: be focused on. And you can't ask for two better

1541
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 1: partners to be able to do that here in Houston,

1542
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 1: no doubt. The Pelton Children's Center the beneficiary and a

1543
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: long time partner with the Texas in LSC and Texas Ball.

1545

1548
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: from SEC, one from the Big twelve will be there

01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:55,280

01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 1: from Houston Methodist. This week, he caught up with doctor

1616
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: Wesley Long to talk a little bit about COVID and

1617
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:02,959
Speaker 1: dive a little bit further, eliminating some myths, learning some realities.

1618
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:06,360
Speaker 1: This is good stuff from Mark, and it's Houston Methodist Minutes.

1619
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: In Joining us today is doctor Wesley Long of Houston Methodist,

1620
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:12,599
Speaker 1: and we're talking about COVID nineteen. How's it going doctor,

1621
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 1: It's going very well, sir. How are you doing well?

1622
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:18,280
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this. I wanted to ask some very

1623
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 1: basic questions because I think sometimes we forget the fundamentals

1624
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:26,720
Speaker 1: of COVID. So obviously we know it's spread through the air,

1625
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: and I think I still hear people saying, wow, it

1626
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: doesn't spread on surfaces or whatever. Can you set the

1627
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 1: record straight for us? Doctor? So I think I can, right,

1628
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 1: I can tell you sort of the best that we

1629
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:43,799
Speaker 1: know right now. You know, COVID nineteen is a respiratory disease,

1630
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 1: and it's spread primarily by respiratory droplet. So those are

1631
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 1: droplets when we cough, when we talk, that leave our mouth,

1632
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 1: leave our nose, and travel a short distance, yeah, five

1633
01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: or six feet. And so that's what lee to all

1634
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:03,800
Speaker 1: the recommendations for masks, for social distancing and those sorts

1635
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:07,160
Speaker 1: of things. We also know from some other research that

1636
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:13,719
Speaker 1: the virus can survive on surfaces, some surfaces better than others,

1637
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 1: you know, hard nonporous surfaces, and to be better things

1638
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 1: like that. And you know, we also know that it's

1639
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 1: possible for other respiratory viruses if they're on a surface,

1640
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:28,560
Speaker 1: if you touch that surface, the virus very easy to

1641
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 1: transfer onto your skin. If you then touch your nose,

1642
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 1: touch your mouth, touch your eye, you can transmit other

1643
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 1: viruses that way. It seems like you should probably be

1644
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:43,600
Speaker 1: able to do the same with the COVID nineteen coronavirus.

1645
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 1: That having been said, it doesn't seem like that's a

1646
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:51,679
Speaker 1: major mode of transmission for the virus, perhaps because we're

1647
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:54,840
Speaker 1: also aware of it right now, we're all washing our

1648
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: hands hopefully and doing all the good practices we should

1649
01:28:57,360 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 1: be doing. That doesn't seem to be the major drive,

1650
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 1: or the major driver still seems to be those respiratory droplets,

1651
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:09,479
Speaker 1: and you know, situations where people aren't wearing masks, are

1652
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 1: in a crowded setting, can't socially distanced, can't keep that

1653
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 1: six feet apart. Those seem to really be the times

1654
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 1: and the virus is being transmitted person to person very well. Okay,

1655
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 1: so signs and symptoms can appear in two to fourteen days,

1656
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,720
Speaker 1: that seems like such a wide range. Doctor, is that

1657
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,559
Speaker 1: like a lot of viruses or is that somewhat unique

1658
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:35,120
Speaker 1: to COVID nineteen. Well, every virus is a little bit different,

1659
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:38,320
Speaker 1: and I think we're still sort of learning and refining

1660
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 1: that time frame. So while certainly there's some evidence from

1661
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 1: early in the pandemic that exposures could be two weeks out,

1662
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:49,080
Speaker 1: I would say that it does seem like a lot

1663
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 1: of the time, really symptoms show up faster than that.

1664
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:54,160
Speaker 1: So while it's not out of the question that you

1665
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 1: might develop symptoms a week or so later. You know,

1666
01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:01,640
Speaker 1: I'd say for most people, the at least I anecdotally

1667
01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 1: have known or have seen that have had the virus,

1668
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 1: they typically seem to get symptoms from an own exposure

1669
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 1: within about two to five days most usually not to

1670
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 1: say that you couldn't develop symptoms further out, but it

1671
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 1: certainly seems like typically pulled it faster. Now, there are

1672
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:22,639
Speaker 1: some people that have, you know, sort of longer courses

1673
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:26,560
Speaker 1: of illness for the symptoms wax and wane, and so

1674
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 1: it may be hard to pin down exactly when they

1675
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:32,880
Speaker 1: were exposed versus exactly when symptoms started. Some people are

1676
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 1: symptoms that are very mild to you know, really what

1677
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:38,280
Speaker 1: we would call being asymptomatic or having no symptoms. So

1678
01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:40,240
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that makes it hard to

1679
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:43,800
Speaker 1: pin down that window of of how long it really

1680
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:46,680
Speaker 1: takes for the average infective person to show symptoms from

1681
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:49,880
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. There are a lot of symptoms, doctors, So

1682
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:53,040
Speaker 1: can you give us one or two that are always

1683
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 1: there or is that just not the case. It's not

1684
01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:59,080
Speaker 1: that no two are alike, but there's such a wide

1685
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:02,679
Speaker 1: range here that very personal person, there's such a wider

1686
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,679
Speaker 1: range of presentations. It's hard to really pin it down.

1687
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:09,479
Speaker 1: I would say most typically, you know, we're seeing patients,

1688
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:13,160
Speaker 1: at least for the symptomatic patients, people with a fever,

1689
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:17,680
Speaker 1: a cough, generally you know, pretty considerable fatigue or tiredness,

1690
01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:21,479
Speaker 1: and it's i'd say quite often we see people have

1691
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 1: this course where they feel really sick for a few days,

1692
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 1: maybe two, three, four days, start to feel better, and

1693
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:31,560
Speaker 1: then suddenly feel worse again for another week or so.

1694
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 1: That's kind of a typical course. One of the unique

1695
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:40,720
Speaker 1: symptoms that some people experience is a loss of a

1696
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:45,840
Speaker 1: sense of smell or a loss of taste. But again

1697
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 1: that's not every patient, and that's not it doesn't always

1698
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,720
Speaker 1: appear at the same time, so that's not necessarily a

1699
01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:55,640
Speaker 1: useful symptom to look for, just because it is so

1700
01:31:55,880 --> 01:32:02,040
Speaker 1: variable and it doesn't always occur. So yeah, it's really

1701
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 1: hard to nail down. For some people with you know,

1702
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:06,639
Speaker 1: mild symptoms, it may just seem like allergies and maybe

1703
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 1: a running nose, a scratchy throat, and not much else

1704
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 1: than that. So that's one of the real challenges of

1705
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen is the wide variety of presentations that people

1706
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:18,759
Speaker 1: may have a couple more for you. You mentioned feeling

1707
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 1: bad feeling better than feeling bad again. How unusual is

1708
01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 1: that for a virus where you start to recover it

1709
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:26,559
Speaker 1: feel like you're out of the woods, but then you're

1710
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 1: right back in the woods. I'd say it's fairly unusual

1711
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:32,640
Speaker 1: when you compare it to most of the sort of

1712
01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 1: seasonal colds and influenza and other viruses that we think

1713
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:40,679
Speaker 1: about most of a sort of experiencing, and it really

1714
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: seems to be in patience and experience that sort of

1715
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:46,560
Speaker 1: the initial phase is driven by the virus and the

1716
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: bodies immune response to it, and your body fighting in

1717
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:53,640
Speaker 1: the virus, and then that second phase is really to

1718
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:58,040
Speaker 1: some extent driven by your own immune response and the

1719
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:01,720
Speaker 1: bodies you know, natural defenses against the virus, just sort

1720
01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:07,360
Speaker 1: of prolonging that sort of those the illness and the

1721
01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 1: symptoms of the illness, you know, further than just the

1722
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:14,080
Speaker 1: initial phase of the infection. What's the best thing you

1723
01:33:14,120 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 1: can do if you have it, but let's say you

1724
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 1: don't need hospitalization, you're just sick at home. What's the

1725
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:22,120
Speaker 1: best kind of treatment to get over it? Doctor, Well,

1726
01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:24,559
Speaker 1: I think the very most important thing to do. If

1727
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:28,519
Speaker 1: you think you have COVID nineteen and you're at home

1728
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 1: and you're you know what we would say, you know,

1729
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 1: you're stable or you're you're feeling you know, for the

1730
01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 1: most part, okay, you really need to call your doctor,

1731
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, call your primary care provider and talk to

1732
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:42,680
Speaker 1: them and see if you can get tested, see if

1733
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 1: they can help. You're arranged to get tested in as

1734
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:47,559
Speaker 1: safe as way as possible, so maybe with a drive

1735
01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:49,920
Speaker 1: up test or you know, just to arrange for the fact.

1736
01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, we don't want you to necessarily, you know,

1737
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,479
Speaker 1: go into a crowded waiting room as you think you

1738
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 1: have COVID. It's better to kind of plan ahead. So

1739
01:33:56,600 --> 01:33:59,840
Speaker 1: you want to call your doctor m who hopefully knows

1740
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:02,360
Speaker 1: all your different health conditions, knows what your risk factors

1741
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 1: may be, and then they can help you make a

1742
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:08,800
Speaker 1: plan to get tested and then to see what, you know,

1743
01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:12,120
Speaker 1: treatments or therapies they may be able to arrange for you.

1744
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:16,240
Speaker 1: You know, there's not a lot of treatments or therapies

1745
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:18,920
Speaker 1: right now that are available outside of hospital setting, but

1746
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:20,360
Speaker 1: your doctor is gonna be able to help you plan

1747
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:23,479
Speaker 1: sort of you know, how to stay home, you know,

1748
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,600
Speaker 1: keep an eye on yourself, monitor your symptoms, and you know,

1749
01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:28,840
Speaker 1: let you know sort of what's that decision point where

1750
01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:30,680
Speaker 1: you may need to go to the hospital and need

1751
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 1: to go see the doctor for a higher level of care.

1752
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:36,680
Speaker 1: It's really by doing that planning, by staying home and

1753
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, making that phone call, doing a virtual visit. UH.

1754
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:43,479
Speaker 1: Doing that planning, you can help keep yourself safe, the

1755
01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 1: community safe, and then also make sure that you're prepared

1756
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:49,560
Speaker 1: so that if you're you know, symptoms do progress and

1757
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 1: you need a higher level of care, you can be

1758
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 1: sort of ready to go with a plan to get

1759
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:57,559
Speaker 1: the care you need to help you fight the virus

1760
01:34:57,600 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 1: and recover from the infection hopefully. Doctor, great information, Thanks

1761
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 1: so much for the time my pleasure, sir. Thank you,

1762

Speaker 1: of the Houston, Texans. Houston Methodist Leading Medicine. I mean,

1765
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:19,439
Speaker 1: we just had I think on Thursday or Wednesday, one

1766
01:35:19,479 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 1: of the highest numbers we've had for COVID cases. We

1767
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:26,400
Speaker 1: heard about Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence. We've heard about Graham Murtz,

1768
01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:30,000
Speaker 1: the freshman quarterback of Wisconsin who was just unbelievable in

1769
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:33,560
Speaker 1: his first start against Illinois last Friday. Coming down with

1770
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. It's still ruining our lives in some respects.

1771
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:43,320
Speaker 1: So it's always good to have sort of refresher kind

1772
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:46,599
Speaker 1: of handle what's myth, what's reality, And thankfully Doctor Long

1773
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:49,439
Speaker 1: was able to do that with our friend Voices of Texans,

1776
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:58,560
Speaker 1: think Deepe Farrell Brown loved the segment that Drew and

1777
01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:03,160
Speaker 1: Chester and Travel and Wade put together that was unbelievable stuff.

1778
