1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: In the Lab, a Texans podcast that takes a different

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: look at things. Drew Doherty and John Harris have their

Speaker 1: Here's Drew.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 2: In the Lab is right now, and I'm Drew. That's John,

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: and here're you, and we're thankful that you are with us. John,

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: what's a way to begin? There have been opening day

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: victories and they're all sweet, but this one just smacks

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: a little bit sweeter than the rest. A little bit

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 2: later on, we're gonna talk about that.

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: We're also gonna raise.

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: The glass thanks to Medello and toast some of the

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: good stuff that was going on this weekend.

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 3: We're also going to have a Cream of the Crop

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: award winner.

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: But we got to start with this, John, how much

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: damn fun was that on Sunday? For you being there

18
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: on the sidelines and a place where the Texans have

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: not historically done all that well, but historically lately they have.

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right in a row in Indy.

21
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 5: I tried to I started to think, had we had

22
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 5: we beat the Colts at.

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 4: Home three in a row? I don't know that we.

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 3: Had ten and eleven and twelve.

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 4: I guess eleven and twelve. So yeah, we had done

26
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 4: it at home.

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: We had not.

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 6: I knew for a fact we had not done it

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 6: on the road because all I do is go back

30
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 6: to twenty fifteen. Right, But that's my eleventh Colts Texans

31
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 6: game in Indy and that's six and five.

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: So pretty good, man, all right, feel pretty.

33
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 4: Good about going up the Indy. But it was it.

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 6: You know, there are a lot of people that have

35
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 6: a lot of different theories and things, you know, and

36
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 6: thoughts on that game, and we'll get into ours.

37
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: But to go up there.

38
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 6: Week one scene of the crime playing them again in

39
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 6: the regular season, when you ended the regular season, their

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 6: hype video was all about seeing us and facing Houston

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 6: and all that kind of stuff. And then to go

42
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 6: in there and win the way that you did, regardless

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 6: of whether it was by two or by twenty. I

44
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 6: think just spoke volumes about what this team is going.

45
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 4: To be able to do this year. And I thought that,

46
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: to me was probably the more.

47
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 5: Special thing about it.

48
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 6: I felt like, and I said this to Mark on

49
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 6: radio on Monday, I felt like we played our B

50
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 6: minus game. I don't know that we played our top

51
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 6: notch game. Gave up four sacks, which I didn't think

52
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 6: this offensive line would do, but gave up four sacks.

53
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 4: They were primed to get to the quarterback to get

54
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 4: the CJ.

55
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 6: And I saw a tweet earlier today drew today being Tuesday,

56
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 6: and it was from Nate Atkins, who covers the Colts

57
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 6: for The Indie Star, and Gus Bradley was at his

58
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 6: press conference and he said, yeah, yeah, he said essentially

59
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 6: what we said last last week, which was, if you're

60
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 6: going to play take on the Texans, you got to

61
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 6: take away c J. Stroud in the passing game, and

62
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 6: I take it away, but you gotta limit it. So

63
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 6: you've got to be lighter in a box to play

64
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 6: nickel and dime, to do all that to take away

65
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 6: you know, passing opportunities and dare the Texans run the ball?

66
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 6: And the Texans said, okay, bet and they ran the ball.

67
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 3: And to that, to that end, I want to raise

68
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: the glass. I want to raise the glass in Madelo. Boom, boom, cheers.

69
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: Two hundred and thirteen yards forty Harry's better than five

70
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: yards of rush. What have we seen around here for

71
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: the last three years? You got you know what you

72
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: got to do. You have to go back to David

73
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: Johnson to find a back that averaged better than four

74
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: yards of carry as a Houston Texan, get it, or

75
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: a team better than four yards of carry as a

76
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: Texan Texans. When you run the ball forty times, it's

77
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: damn near impossible to lose. And the Texans were able

78
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: to do that forty times. Just control the game that

79
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: way and mixing. Goodness gracious, he had some popp in it.

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: But golly, that offensive line. Welcome back Kenyan Green in

81
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: a big, big way. Welcome Juice Scrugs first game at

82
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: center as a professional here with the Texans.

83
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 5: That was awesome.

84
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: That was a tour to four.

85
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta go back to probably the Arian

86
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: Foster game against the Colts in twenty ten to top

87
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: what we saw. I know the Texans might have run

88
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: for more yards of their past, sure, but goodness gracious

89
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: to do what they did after what we've seen around

90
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: here the last four or five years, My goodness, john

91
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: that was so so impressive and mixing and digs and

92
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: everybody you know out on the edges they were all

93
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: saying kudos to that so line because they really made

94
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: it happen and digs also excuse me. Mixon also said, well,

95
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: the wide receivers were blocking well in my full back

96
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: and my tight ends all that. But go wow, the

97
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: offensive line they get that glass raise this week.

98
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they wow.

99
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 6: Just watching them play after play after play, just like man,

100
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 6: Joe's got some you know. And I'll be honest, the

101
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 6: sideline doesn't always.

102
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 4: Have the greatest view of how.

103
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 6: It's going on. I mean, you can, you can see,

104
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 6: but you can you just kind of feel the way

105
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 6: that the game is going and headed, and you could

106
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 6: just tell that offensive line was getting more and more confident.

107
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 6: And if my math is correct, Joe had nine carries

108
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 6: at halftime, so he ended up thirty. Now I double

109
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 6: check my math, see if I can do that real

110
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 6: fast as I talk.

111
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 5: But twenty one carries in the second half.

112
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's impressive.

113
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: But you know, again, you're right, it's nine nine for

114
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: fifty five at the half. Yeah, that's a that's a

115
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: good output at the half, nine for fifty five.

116
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 6: I mean the second half, in the second half, he

117
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 6: was twenty My math is right, twenty one for one

118
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 6: to four. That's a hell of a game and a touchdown.

119
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 6: There were just so many different things. You know, take

120
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 6: the touchdown for instance, when was the last time you

121
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 6: saw the Texans on you know, inside the low red

122
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 6: zone tossed the ball to running back and run it

123
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 6: right in the end zone like they're not even standing there,

124
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 6: Like when have they done that they? I mean, I

125
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 6: don't know when was the last time. Obviously a back

126
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 6: like Joe Mixon, you know, changes everything. But when was

127
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 6: the last time you saw that front for the Colts

128
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 6: just being given the business by the Texans on line?

129
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 6: Never not since the Forest Buckner got there in twenty twenty.

130
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 6: When he got there in twenty twenty and he'd come

131
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 6: by with Grover Stewart, Texans haven't been able to move

132
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 6: that front attack that for them, been able to do anything.

133
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: It's always one of the five things to watch when

134
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: I write that that weekly are and you you included

135
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: it in your preview as well.

136
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: Was that tandem?

137
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: I mean you got to keep see just Stroud safe

138
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: and you got to try and do what you can

139
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: against him because they're just fearsome, you know, the force.

140
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: Buckner's at all pro for a reason.

141
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he has and he got his a little

142
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: bit on on Sunday, he got a sack. You know,

143
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: I think Gross Streep might have got a sack too.

144
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 2: But they they got got a little bit in the

145
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: passing game, but man on the whole, they were part

146
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: of a unit that just got got worn out on

147
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: the ground and that was that was huge for the Texans.

148
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 6: Well, you know, going back to the twenty NATEE Atkins,

149
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 6: Nate Atkins had said that Gus Bradley had decided that

150
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 6: they were going to play a lighter box to you know,

151
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 6: cover the pass. Like okay, so they basically dared the

152
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 6: Texans like, all right, let's see how let's see if

153
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 6: you've improved, whether you've improved. And then in the second

154
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 6: half of it, by that point it's too late to

155
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 6: make a bunch of adjustments. But the last one I

156
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 6: would I would say is when's the last time that?

157
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 6: And I know Nico made the catch on third now,

158
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 6: like I get that, But then you've still got to

159
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 6: get a first down to run the clock out third

160
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 6: and three. I mean, even with previous quarterbacks, you know

161
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 6: the guy with the Browns right now, you know with CJ.

162
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 5: Third and three, that's a throwing down or it's been

163
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 5: a throwing down.

164
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, what you do?

165
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 4: You got an affirmation?

166
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 6: You turned and tossed it to Joe Mixon and he

167
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 6: ran behind a rookie catsed over and they went and

168
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 6: got how many every yards? Eight nine yards to finish

169
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 6: the game. And again, when have you seen that happen?

170
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 6: It just hasn't happened. And so to see those things

171
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 6: and go, oh boy, And then I started thinking, Okay,

172
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 6: the game is immediately over. Then I'm excited and we're

173
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 6: all excited. But my mind immediately went to if you're

174
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 6: the Bears, having just watched that.

175
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: Game, yeah, how do you prepare? Now?

176
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 4: What do you do now? Because you didn't?

177
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: What are you going to take away?

178
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: And are you even gonna be able to take that

179
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: thing that you're trying to take away away?

180
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 4: Right exactly? And that's that's it. That's now. That's it's tough.

181
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 6: And and now you know, I think the Bears front

182
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 6: is good. I don't know that it's at the level

183
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 6: of the the It's differently constructed, I should say, because

184
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 6: they think the Bears are better on the edges than

185
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 6: the Colts. The Colts are better on the interior than

186
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 6: the Bears. But either way, you're facing a pretty stout

187
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 6: front again. But are you gonna are those Eric Washington

188
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator gonna choose to to have a light box

189
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 6: again so they can cover the pass or do they

190
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 6: not want to get absolutely obliterated on national television with

191
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 6: the rung game. So it's what we've talked about for

192
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 6: a long time and what we know that Bobby Slowech

193
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 6: wanted to do.

194
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 5: Offensively, the left hand doesn't get you, the right hand will.

195
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 6: And there were times last year where all you had

196
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 6: was the right hand and that right hand was so

197
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 6: good that.

198
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: Defenses couldn't stop it.

199
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, but now if you've got both hands, it's like,

200
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 6: whoh man, that's now scary.

201
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 4: Now.

202
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 6: Defensively, you got to quick giving up the explosives. That's

203
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 6: gotta stop. That's and you know we can't be allergic

204
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 6: to stop and those those explosives. That's gotta stop. But

205
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 6: I do think some of those were just based on

206
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 6: the superhuman human being that was Anthony Richardson.

207
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm gonna say this that first one on

208
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: TV watching it, his right tackle was on top of

209
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: him because the Texans had pushed the right and I

210
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 2: was like, what just happened there, and then everybody's talking

211
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: about how he slipped, and I was like, well, I

212
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 2: didn't see any slip, but I did see his right

213
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 2: tackle pretty much in his lap and then he launches

214
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: that thing like Anthony Richardson is a freak of nature.

215
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: He's frightening, like he's really really good. That's the reason

216
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: that game was so clo looks because you have a

217
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 2: freak of nature like that. So it was really really something.

218
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: And yeah, you do have to, yes, you have to

219
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: limit explosives, but I mean, what the hell else were

220
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 2: you gonna do on that. I mean, maybe your safeties

221
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: are a little bit deeper on that one, but it was

222
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: kind of a fifty to fifty ball that you just

223
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: didn't get. But yeah, I was, I was, really really

224
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: I was. I was ecstatic by what I saw. I

225
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: mean just so much, very much so.

226
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 6: And I know a lot of people have kind of

227
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 6: freaked out, Oh my god, if Anthony Richardson's gonna be

228
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 6: that good?

229
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 5: You know.

230
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 6: The whole point is this, And I saw after the

231
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 6: game I was on I was on a bus. We

232
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,359
Speaker 6: actually were driving for the bus back to Energy Stadium afterwards,

233
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 6: and at that point, and you know that's true.

234
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 4: You're just exhausted. You're just like your eyes are half

235
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 4: open and you're like, well.

236
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 6: And so I saw this article from Colts dot Com saying,

237
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 6: don't get caught in the loss. Look at what Anthony

238
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 6: Richardson can do. And it's like, Okay, that's that's all

239
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 6: well and good. But he did it for one game. Yeah,

240
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 6: So to me, I look at our guy and I'm like,

241
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 6: that's what he does every game.

242
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 4: C J. Stroud.

243
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 6: Anthony Richardson's show what he can do, but can he

244
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 6: do it over and over again? And once he starts

245
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 6: doing that, then I'll be like, Okay, now you can

246
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 6: maybe be on our level. But until then, you made

247
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 6: some superhuman plays. And if we don't give those plays up,

248
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 6: his stat.

249
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: Line looks garbage.

250
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the Colts look like garbage. But he kind

251
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 6: of saved them and bailed him out. That's why you

252
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 6: draft the number four rows. So we'll see how it

253
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 6: pans out. We don't have to worry about him for

254
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 6: a little bit. Still, the Colts, you know, they took.

255
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: One on Sunday.

256
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 6: And the one thing I always think about with the Colts,

257
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 6: especially since Chris Ballard took over Drew is the fact

258
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 6: that Ballard likes to win with the trenches. He wants

259
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 6: to win with freakazoid athletes up front on both sides,

260
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 6: ground you into submission, and.

261
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 5: Just get all over you with that defensive line.

262
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 6: And since twenty twenty twenty, they've been able to do

263
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 6: that to us and just grind us the dust.

264
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 5: Basically since Ballot took over in twenty seventeen.

265
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 6: That not only was the way the Colts could beat us,

266
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 6: it was the only way.

267
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 4: The Colts could beat us.

268
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, then they got their only way they could win.

269
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 6: Stuff right back and down, right back down their throat

270
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 6: because Jonathan Taylor runs for forty eight yards three yards

271
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 6: of carry, and we ran for one point fifty nine

272
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 6: with Joe Mixon and two thirteen overall, it's the only

273
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 6: way the Colts could win, could win, that could have

274
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 6: won that game and win games. And yeah, now Richardson

275
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 6: maybe opens up and Or's box.

276
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 4: We'll see whether he's consistent enough to do it.

277
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 6: But that was the way they could win games, and

278
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 6: we just took that way and stuffed it right down

279
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 6: their chest.

280
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: So it's kind of no, I love love seeing that. Okay,

281
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: danil Hunter has played fourteen games all time against the

282
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears. In those fourteen games, he has seven and

283
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: a half sacks. He's got fourteen tackles for loss. The

284
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: cream of the cropper on Sunday, if the Texas Sunday evening,

285
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: Monday morning, if the Texans have won, for me, the

286
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: crop is gonna be Daniel Hunter. I think he's gonna

287
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: get a sack. We saw nice interior stuff from Mario Edwards,

288
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: from fully thought of Cosi, who you had mentioned throughout

289
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: training camp on your hair sits. They were causing problems,

290
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: then they cause problems on Sunday. I want to see

291
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: some problems caused by Daniel Hunter, who was causing problems

292
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: but he just didn't get the sack on Sunday against

293
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: the Colts. I think he's gonna get some this weekend.

294
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 3: He is my cream of the cropper of the crop.

295
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: Thank you, macho man.

296
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: And I want to hear who yours is gonna be

297
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 2: Monday morning when we wake up after hopefully a Texans win.

298
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 6: Man, My thoughts are just racing because there's so many

299
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 6: of them. But I feel like I feel like the

300
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 6: tight ends. I'm gonna go a double dip here I

301
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 6: feel like Dalton Schultz and Kate Stover are gonna get

302
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 6: a little bit in the passing game.

303
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 4: Okay, can't get a bunch.

304
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 6: You know, Nico had six catches, Steph had six, Tank

305
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 6: get three. I think Dalton had three. I don't think

306
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 6: so Stover got any targets. You know, Brev had won.

307
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 6: But I think it's the tight ends. I think it's Stover, Schultz,

308
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 6: Brevin that are gonna do something on Sunday night that

309
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 6: changes the game.

310
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 4: And I just feel like it's time.

311
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 6: Because Okay, the tight ends had their or the wide

312
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 6: receivers had their day.

313
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 5: They got it all spread out and they'll get something

314
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 5: against the Bears.

315
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 6: But the Bears corners pretty good, Tyrek Stevenson and Jalen

316
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 6: Johnson pretty solid.

317
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 5: I think their safety group is pretty good.

318
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 4: Nicol Kyler Gordon pretty good.

319
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 5: But I just feel like the Texans.

320
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 6: Can play around with your personnel in if they put

321
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 6: Stover in a game, or they put Schultz in the

322
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 6: game and put them at full back, Like how do

323
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 6: you treat that? Are you gonna try and match that

324
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 6: with Nickel or with base And I thought the Colts

325
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 6: had a hard time kind of matching with that when

326
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 6: we went into certain formations, they wanted to match with

327
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 6: their you know, Carlis with their Sam linebacker, but then

328
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 6: Carlais will go out and then Kenny Moore bumped inside

329
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 6: and then they would bring in Jalen Jones on certain

330
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 6: other formations, and I felt like they kind of struggled

331
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 6: with that personnel matching. I think in that against the

332
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 6: Bears this week, I think that those three tight ends, Brevkade,

333
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 6: and Dalton can.

334
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 4: End up having a pretty good game.

335
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 6: So I'm going with the tight ends as my cream

336
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 6: of the croppers.

337
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: The cream of the crop. I like it.

338
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: I like it all right. I love talking to football

339
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: with you. It's great to have the season back.

340
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: Let's raise.

341
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: Let raise a glass of that. I mean, the season

342
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: is back. So yeah, we're happy back football is back.

Speaker 3: So I can't wait for some Sunday night football.

347
