Speaker 1: What's going on. Everybody, Welcome into a Friday. So the

Speaker 1: three sixty five. We don't stop at all. So we've

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: got a I think a really good bye week Friday

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: special show. We're gonna hear from Travis Johnson Trap. Jay's

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: gonna join us in the next segment. He sat down

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: with Mark and that's a really fun one coma Gruge Hill.

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from him as he talked with DP

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: in Mark, We've got my ultimate eleven plays of the

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: game against Jacksonville. So going into the weekend, why I

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: look back at the first win of the season through

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: the best plays of the game, and we've got those

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: for you. So I'll have that for you in the

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: next hour. Also in the next hour, a couple of

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: deep interviews, one with OJ Howard and one with Scott Quisenberry.

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: Guys that have stepped into roles that I would imagine

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: we didn't think Scott Quisenberry if he's starting center. Thought

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: there'd be justin Britt, but Scotty stepped in and done.

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say just fine because it sounds like just fine.

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: But he's been I think the right fit for sure

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: in that offensive line at center. And O. J. Howard,

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean, who knew that I was gonna be part

26
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: of the season back at training camp, but he joins

27
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: the team right after the preseason was over, caught two

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns in that first game and has been instrumental ever since.

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: And hopefully that tight end position can get healthy with

30
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: Brevin Jordan coming back, George Nakens on the fifty three

31
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: man roster, and I'll tell you this, OJ Howard, revn Jordan,

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakens, those three guys, and then when Tigan comes back,

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: that's gonna be as good a tight end mix as

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: we've had here in a while. So really good forward

35
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: to that. So we'll hear from OJ Howard and Scott

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Quisenberry a little later in the show. Well we're gonna

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: do something a little different. Now, it's different in same same,

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: it's different, different, it's same. I normally do my predictions

39
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: for every single game in the NFL. I usually do

40
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: it later in the show on Friday. It's Friday. I

41
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: thought I was gonna do later the show, and I thought,

42
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: you know what, let's go to the front of the

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: show because we got so much else going on. Let's

44
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: get these predictions out there for you to hear them.

45
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: And it's my way of going around the NFL. I

46
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: like going around the NFL, like knowing what's going on

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: in all different cities, all different teams, organizations. You got

48
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: this happening here, you got another thing happening in Cleveland.

49
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: You got all kinds of stuff going on with the

50
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: La Rams, you got stuff going on with the Charger.

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: So it's always fun to kind of break it all

52
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: down in some sense through making a prediction on the game.

53
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: So that's why I do for fun, f you, and

54
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: for fun. I picked games straight up in against the

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: spread I do every single week, and I figured, you

56
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: know what, why not start right here with some predictions

57
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: to kind of get you going into the weekend, because

58
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you. Maybe it took the

59
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: day off, maybe you're off rise school games got off

60
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: a little early. Maybe you're not gonna be around to

61
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: hear the prediction of the second hour. So I thought, whynot,

62
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: let's just go right ahead with no Texans game this weekend.

63
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: Clear conscience, clear minds, clear hearts with it, clear eyes,

64
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: full hearts, can't lose. Well, that's what we're gonna do

65
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: with our predictions. Now, if you've been around for my predictions,

66
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: you know I need some music, and there it is.

67
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: Let's rock, here we go. Let's start in Atlanta with

68
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: a Newton game where the forty nine ers are taking

69
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: on the Falcons. Now, these two teams really no connection

70
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: to the Texans, but the forty nine ers have five,

71
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: are favored by five in Atlanta, where Atlanta has played

72
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: pretty well. But I'd never trust West Coast Road favorites

73
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: playing at one o'clock Eastern time. I hate it. I

74
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: hate picking those teams. However, I think the forty nine

75
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Ers are just that much better than the Falcons. Let

76
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: me give the Falcons of credit. I think the fortyniners

77
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: a gonna win this game. I think the Falcons are

78
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: gonna get inside that five. So give the forty nine

79
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: ers to win to get the four and two, but

80
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: the Falcons to cover, keeping it very very close. All right,

81
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: This one matters too used to Texans fans, even though

82
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: it's not the Texans. It's the Patriots. Now, we don't

83
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: care about the Patriots, but we do care about the

84
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Browns taking place in Cleveland, where Cleveland's a two and

85
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. Now, Bailey Zappy mac Jones, that

86
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: quarterback situation, Bailey Zappy was really, really good. I can

87
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: imagine Bill Belichick, We'll try and buy a little bit

88
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: more time from mac Jones by going with Bailey Zappy

89
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: against the Cleveland Browns, Belichick's former team. People like, wait,

90
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: a second former team, Yeah, yeah, Bill Belichick wants with

91
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, Bell lead At

92
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: the Browns have been all over the map. They want

93
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: a couple of games they probably shouldn't have. They lost

94
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: a couple of games that probably shouldn't have, so they're

95
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: probably right where they need to be two and three.

96
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I just can't get there this weekend with the Patriots

97
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: because the Browns are up and down, the up and down,

98
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: up then down. Now they're going to the back up.

99
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: I think the Browns, even though they'll miss two key

100
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: defensive players, including each devinon Clowney, I do think that

101
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: the Browns are gonna come out of here with a

102
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: very narrow three. No more than seven, but more than

103
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: two and a half. And that's the number. So we'll

104
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: go Cleveland with the win and cover over the Patriots.

105
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: In Cleveland, the Jets are taking on the Packers. The

106
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: Jets are one of the better stories in the NFL.

107
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna say I told you so, but

108
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: John McClain and Marta vanber know that I was piping

109
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: up the Jets. But on the Lions. Two Lions just

110
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: have a one in new games. They played well, they's

111
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: have one of new games. That's a well, that's a

112
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: story for John Road. In the second, Jets are taking

113
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: on the Packers. Packers seven and a half point favorites

114
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Now, the team's coming back from London.

115
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: I remember in twenty nineteen in particular, the Texas got

116
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: housed even after a bye week. The Packers are coming

117
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: straight off that week from London and going right back

118
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: to Lambeau to play. That is def a cult on

119
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: a body. I do think the Packers will bounce back,

120
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: and I think they'll wins game, but I don't think

121
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: they're covering the seven and a half. It's get the

122
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: Jets a cover and the Packers an outright win. But

123
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: the Jets get that inside that seven and a half.

124
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: So Packers get before and two, Jets to three and three.

125
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: But kudos to Digests for what they're building up there

126
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. Rob Salo, Joe Douglas do a great job.

127
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: All right, AFC South, here we go, Jaguars Colts in Indianapolis.

128
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: Is always important to know where this one's being played

129
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: because down to Duval County, the Jags own the Colts.

130
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: But Indianapolis it's a different story. Cults are favorite by

131
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: just two and I don't trust the Colts. But what

132
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: I saw last week between the Jaguars and the Colts,

133
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: I saw some great stuff from the Jagson could score,

134
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: we kept them out of the end zone. I don't

135
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: think they're gonna score against the Colts. I think Colts

136
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: end up winning this two points, not quite a pick up,

137
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: a pretty close. Let's go Colts to win this thing,

138
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: get too three, two and one while the Jags fall

139
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: to two and four. All right, le's go Vikings Dolphins.

140
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: This one has to be confused, very very confused. It's

141
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: game down in Miami, so that's gonna be tough for

142
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: the Vikings playing that hot weather. But the Dolphins are

143
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: playing Skylar Thompson. Now, Skotta Thompson, I really like, come

144
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: out of Kansas statement now as the starting quarterback as

145
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: a rookie, not at all. In fact, he's the third

146
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: rookie to start, is that right? Yeah? Bailey's Affy started

147
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. I feel like I've missed one, and

148
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: then Skyler Thompson, so Katie Pickett, So yeah, he's the

149
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: third one to start. I would have not put money

150
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: at Skylar Thompson being the third quarterback to start in Miami,

151
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: but that's where we are, and it's sts favored by three.

152
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: As a result, I think Minnesota wins this thing, but

153
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be closer. It's gonna be twenty four twenty.

154
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be twenty seven twenty four. It's gonna be

155
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: very close. So I don't like that number. But if

156
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: the half to the Vikings to win and to barely

157
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: barely cover against Skylar Thompson and the Dolphins, Bengals take

158
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: it on the Saints. This one is perplexed about as well.

159
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: The Saints are two and a half point hundred dogs

160
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: playing in New Orleans, but the Saints are all over

161
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: the place. I don't even know what to make of

162
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints at all. I'm not sure I

163
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: know what to make it. The Bengals look good a

164
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: few weeks and then bang running to Baltimore, buzz Saw

165
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: Hattie laid the game, gave up the game winning field goal.

166
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: They're just They're all over the place. But if I

167
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: have to, I'm gonna go with Cincinnati because, as I

168
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: believe in Joe Burrow over what the Saints have got.

169
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: So I'm going Burrow in Cincinnati to get to win.

170
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: Two and a half is not quite a pick him,

171
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: but close enough for me. I'm gonna go Cincinnati with

172
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: the winner to cover on the road down in New Orleans.

173
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: This game is turning out to be. Well, it's the

174
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: Wink Martindale Bowl. Wink Martindale's Devin's coordinator for the New

175
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: York Giants. He has that group playing with its hair

176
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: on fire. I mean fire. I got no false setter today, sorry, guys,

177
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean I just got all base my back anyhow.

178
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: Wing Martindale's Devin's coordinated for the Ravens for a long time.

179
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh wanted to move on. I want to bring

180
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: back this guy, Mike McDonald, who's done well, not as

181
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: well as Wink. Martindale has Martindell's open up that Bulitz cannon.

182
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: You know what, Now, Wink never had to go against

183
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson other than in practice. We'll see what he

184
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: has learned. As the Ravens go to New Jersey to

185
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: take on the Giants. Baltimore is a five and a

186
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: half point favorite. Man, that's rich. That is a little rich.

187
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: But again I go back to coming back from London

188
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: and having to play the very next week. I don't

189
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: love that the Vikings did that last week, and they

190
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: came back from London after winning the Saints and the

191
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: Bears kept that thing way closer than it was should

192
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: have been. I worry about that with the Giants a

193
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: little bit getting that win against the Packers over in London. Therefore,

194
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm giving the Ravens a win and a cover. Now,

195
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a blow out, it's not gonna

196
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: forty to twenty one. But I do think the Ravens

197
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: are gonna end up winning this thing twenty seven, twenty seven,

198
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: twenty something like that, winning that thing by seven, which

199
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: is enough to get a cover. So let's give the

200
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: Ravens a win and a cover on the road against

201
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: the four and one g men. All right, it's good

202
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: out to Pittsburgh where Pittsburgh has been lousy. As such,

203
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay at three and two is a nine point favorite.

204
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: I cannot see the Steelers playing with I don't want

205
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: to say effort, but just the emotion that's needed, the support,

206
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: and the well, they're just not as good as the Buccaneers,

207
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: to put that way. And they're starting a rookie and

208
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: they got house last week against Buffalo, and I don't

209
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: think even playing at home, they're gonna bounce back. I

210
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: think Tom Brady and the Bucks don't blow them out.

211
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: But this is not going to be the prettiest Steelers game.

212
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: This feels like twenty six fourteen, you know something, laying

213
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: out thirty one eighteen, something like that. But that's more

214
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: than nine scared the Bucks that winning a cover on

215
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: the road against the Steelers. The Panthers jettison their head

216
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: coach Matt Rule. They'll go with interim coach Steve Wilkes.

217
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: They are one and four and now they got to

218
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: travel all the way across country to Los Angeles to

219
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: take on a Rams team. That is exactly what I

220
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: worried about for the Rams. That's a two and three

221
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: football team. It's not a very good football team. They

222
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: lost the Cowboys at home, they lost to the Bills,

223
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: got smashed by the Bills. That's just not a good

224
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: football team out in LA right now. But it's a

225
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: football team that's better than the Panthers. And so I

226
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: think the Rams are gonna win that thing. Buy more

227
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: than what they're favorite buying. That's ten points. They'll win this.

228
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: Two touchdowns are more the play. PJ. Walker is gonna

229
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: get to start there for the Panthers, but it's not

230
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: gonna matter. He may make some plays. The Rams are

231
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: gonna win that thing. Thirty four twenty four. That's right

232
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: at ten. So let's give the Rams a winning a

233
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: cover to make it easy. The Cardinals go to the Seahawks.

234
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: It's winning the afternoon games. And I'm I just went

235
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: back and forth on this. It's kind of a check

236
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: on hype thing. The Arizona Cardinals stink, but they've won

237
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: eight in the row on the road. The Seahawks can

238
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: put up points on anybody now, but they can't stop anybody.

239
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's not been playing great, but he's facing a

240
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: pretty weak Seahawks defense. Hey, I didn't know what to do.

241
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: So at that point, Arizona's favored by two and a half,

242
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: So that means do I trust Kyler Murray? I trust

243
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: Gino Smith. Jino Smith is been playing his guts out,

244
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: which makes me think I should probably go to the Seahawks.

245
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go to the Cardinals because the Cardinals

246
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: are the road Warriors, and similar to a couple of

247
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: other teams, the ups are great, the downs are horrible,

248
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: but a down is always followed by up, and I

249
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: feel like the up is coming. So let's go Cardinals

250
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: to win and cover on the road in Seattle. Then

251
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: the Marquee afternoon game, everybody will be talking about the

252
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: four and one Buffalo Bills taking on the four and

253
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: one Kansas City Chiefs. So the Chief's coming off he

254
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: I don't want to say a controversial win, but it

255
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: comes from behind win against the Las Vegas Raiders on

256
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: Monday night, so shorter week. The Bills house the Steelers,

257
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: but this game takes place in Arrowhead. Again, that has

258
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: not stopped the Bills from going there in rilar season

259
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 1: and winning that game. And winning. It's Sally I e

260
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: last year. I think last year happens again. Bills are

261
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: favored by two and a half on the road. I

262
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: know Kansas City is gonna be fired up because of

263
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. Bills are that much better. Bills get

264
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: a mild bit of revenge for the playoff loss. Let's

265
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: go Bills thirty eight Chiefs. That covers the two and

266
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: a half. Bills get to win. Then Sunday Night, Cowboys

267
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: taking on the Eagles four and one versus five and others.

268
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: This is a great Sunday matchup. Philadelphia's favorite by six

269
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: and a half. Now it's not seven. I like the

270
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: six and a half because I do feel the Eagles

271
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: are gonna win this thing. Cooper Rush is gonna be

272
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: forced to make some plays. I don't know that he'll

273
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: make that many against a solid Philly The defense a

274
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: solid might say solid, I'm in solid defense. That's a

275
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: good unit over there. At Cooper Russells struggle. Eagles get

276
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: to win. Let's go thirty four twenty four on Sunday Night.

277
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: A good ball game for the Eagles. They stay undefeated

278
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: at six and oh beating the Cowboys. Then the Russell

279
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: Wilson led Broncos at two and three are going to

280
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: the Chargers on Monday Night justin Herbert's and the Chargers

281
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: are four and a half point favorites. I think they

282
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: house the Broncos. I think the Broncos might show up

283
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Jazz a little bit, but ain't gonna be enough. The

284
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: Chargers are gonna open a canny, you know what on Russ,

285
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: especially if he is hurt. Look out Khalil Mack. Rackets

286
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: of sacks, no garret ball over the left side. I

287
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: think the Chargers win this and win it soundly on

288
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. All Right, those are your predictions, straight

289
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: up and against the spread for this weekend's game. For fun,

290
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: Like I said, we had a chance to talk a

291
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: lot about both NFL teams as we predicted those games.

292
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: That is always fun. Also fun is catching up with

293
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: trap Jay Travis Johnson, four first round pick of the Texans,

294
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: sat down with Mark Vandermer. It's always fun with trap

295
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: Ja joins the show. He's next right here in Texas,

296

300
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: in Houston is Travis Johnson. He is everything you want.

301

303
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,640

Speaker 1: It is Trap Jay with Mark Vanimir. Quarterbacks are to

306
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: be dled with care as we all know. Yes, yes,

307
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm pandering right here. But you know the big controversy

308
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: right now, Tom Brady gets hit a little too hard,

309
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: big flag, big problem. Uh you had on Monday Night football,

310
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: the situation where Derek Carr gets crushed by Chris Jones.

311
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: But that's gonna happen, and they say he put his

312
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: full body weight on Him'm not supposed to do that,

313
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: but he got the ball out and he fell on him.

314
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: It's just a lot of calls like this and everybody

315
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: are they overreacting? Travis? What is your thought on this

316
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: whole site is who the referees are overreacting? Because at

317
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: the same time, there's no way we watched that Chris

318
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: Jones play. Chris Jones literally stripped the ball. He has

319
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: possession of the ball. Yeah, and it's almost like they

320
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: both fell down like David Derek, excuse me not. David

321
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: Derek makes the tackle and Chris basically fell on him. Like,

322
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: so what is it now? I can't? So what do

323
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: I need to put a pillow down right and rest him? Now?

324
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: I need to. I need to. I need to cradle him,

325
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: tuck him in. Like how else do you want me

326
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: to deal with it? What would you do? Though, I'm

327
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: making you, commissioner, what do you think should happen? You

328
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: have to you have to make sure that the referees

329
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: on the field have access to all the footage, because

330
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: I can understand it should be reviewable. I think I

331
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: understand if you threw the flag because you didn't see

332
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: what happened on the back end because because of his angles.

333
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: But at the same time you can't it's a turnover,

334
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: so it should have been able to be reviewed in

335
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: the first place, and say, you know what, we made

336
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: a mistake. It's not roughing the passer. It was a fumble,

337
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: a recovery fumble, and he fell on the ensuing part

338
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: of the possession. He fell on him. That's it. Turn

339
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: the ball over case clothes, huge play? Right there? Are

340
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: you with me? I think a lot of things should

341
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: be reviewable. You should have to throw the flag because

342
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: how many flags stay in pockets at the end of

343
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: the game. How many times are challenges not used. Not

344
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: that we want the game to be a challenge fest,

345
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: because college football trives me nuts sometimes. And don't get

346
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: me started with college or pro basketball with the reviews.

347
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: But if you throw the red flag for things like that,

348
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: if you make certain things reviewable, why not where are

349
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: we going anyway? I know you want to shorten the game.

350
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: It's not that long. Take a minute, though, don't take

351
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: all day. Don't have a jury and go to court

352
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: about it. Make a decision within sixty seconds, yes or no?

353
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: Move on. What do you think? I agree? I think

354
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: everything should be reviewable. You know, I agree with the

355
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: same way college football. Right now you can go review targeting,

356
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: which I think that is taken away from the game

357
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: on the college last certainly, you know, I think this

358
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: is the same thing with all of these these penalties.

359
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: They have taken it to the extreme. Aver two got hurt.

360
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, it's like, oh, we can't

361
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: let this happen anymore. Well, two got hurt because he's

362
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: a little man playing a big man's game. And guys,

363
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: and the first one we barely got touched and pushed down.

364
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: He ended up with a concussion. He wouldn't this wouldn't

365
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: have happened if you don't put him back out there.

366
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: So why are you putting it on the players? Yeah?

367
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: Good point, Travis Johnson with us, all right, let's talk

368
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: about Damian Pierce. You're a guy who tackled people. What

369
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: about what Damian Pearson is doing breaking tackles among other things.

370
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean the way he runs, I laughed, because it

371
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: reminds me of a couple running backs. But then the

372
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: way he runs it like, for some reason, he just

373
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: keeps reminding me of Adrian Peterson, just the way how

374
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: hard he runs the ball. I remember playing Adrian Peterson

375
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: in Minnesota when I was with San Diego, and I

376
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: remember sitting in the hole and him like, oh, he's

377
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: not even there, and he tried to run through me,

378
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: and I remember having to put all my cleats in

379
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: the ground, like I'm not letting this dude run me over.

380
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: And it looks like he's just always churning his legs.

381
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: You know, I was. I'm a bow Jackson fan. Used

382
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: to have my parents, used have my aunt. He's have

383
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: season tickets to the Raiders back in the day when

384
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: they were still in Los Angeles, and I was there

385
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: when he got hurt, and I remember him always pulling

386
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: that leg out, trying to get a whole another yard,

387
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: always pulling and spitting and finishing runs. And that's that's

388
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: what I see out of this kid. I see this

389
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: kid finishing runs and it's so wonderful to watch. I mean,

390
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: he he skates. He skates like uh he skates like

391
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: Wayne Gretch or or the gold the Goal from Gold

392
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: Teeth to God Jackets Edrin James. He skates like Edrin James.

393
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: He runs with the power of Bo Jackson, and he's

394
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: as smooth as Arian Foster. I love this kid, man.

395
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: I love watching him. It pains me because he's a

396
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: Gator and I'm like, why didn't we recruit him at

397
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: broad to State. But at the same time, I love

398
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: watching him because he's He's what you expect out of

399
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: a young running back. How about the fact that he

400
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: gets the ball to Laramie to spike the ball last week,

401
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: Rex Birkhead scores a touchdown, he runs off the sideline

402
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: to go celebrate with Rex. That kind of teammate people

403
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: notice that, of course, of course, I mean one thing,

404
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: one thing you always hear about. It's not about necessary

405
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowlers, the Hall of Famers. You always talk

406
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: about the guys who are great teammates. He's like, dude,

407
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: this dude is a great teammate. The other day, I

408
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: gotta call from Chris Dealman, who I played with the

409
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: San Diego He's like, hey, man, you're coming back for

410
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, for the for the reunion. We're letting Jamal

411
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: Williams and Jamala Williams is a great teammate, the same

412
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: way I feel about Jeff Skinnena and Andre He's a

413
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: great eight teammates. Great guys, guys that love you, Guys

414
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: that do anything for you. And that's what I see

415
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: out of this guy. See this guy's being one of

416
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: those brothers that you're taking a foxhold and you're taking

417
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: to meet your sister if you if you wanted to

418
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: like one more on him. As a defensive player, when

419
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: you face a back like that you talked about Adrian Peterson,

420
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: does it make you not make business decisions. But after

421
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: a while, are you just feeling like I don't really

422
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: want to tackle him? Does that have an effect on

423
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: the defensive players, knowing how hard it is to well,

424
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It doesn't necessarily have effect on the defensive line.

425
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: But the guys behind us, Yes, like those guys, especially

426
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: the smaller ones you start going to dvs and the safeties. Yeah,

427
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: and you know, especially the new age linebackers who are

428
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: only buy two hundred and fifteen pounds. Those guys kind

429
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: of after a while they tell them be like, you

430
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: know what, I don't want this action anymore. You know,

431
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: we always say bowl your necker nor your check, and

432
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: these guys when you gotta go in there and hit

433
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: this guy time every time? Marshawn said it best you

434
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: keep running them over and running them over and running

435
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: again over over over. They eventually gonna stop tiking to

436
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: tackling you. Wow, And that's what he's doing, all right.

437
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: What about the Texans defense so far, It's not like

438
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: it's a takeaway machine, but they are getting some opportunities

439
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: to takeaways. This team hasn't been able to close out

440
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: the way they want. They did against Jacksonville, what are

441
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: you seeing overall from this different I'm seeing, you know, uh,

442
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: like I'm seeing in the pass rush game, you know, Uh,

443
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: They're they're almost there, you know. I see a lot

444
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: of pressures. I see a lot of knockdowns. I see

445
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: a lot of batted balls. I see a lot of

446
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: everything you want in the pass rush game. But it's

447
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: just not that finished yet, you know. It's not a

448
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: lot of guys the sacks like they didn't get any

449
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: this weekend, you know what I mean. And it's like,

450
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: how didn't y'all get any? You know? But I think

451
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: it speaks on how our Trevor was getting rid of

452
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: the ball. It speaks on a lot of different things.

453
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you watch them get pressures,

454
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: you watch them getting knocked downs. I would like to

455
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: see him be more of you know. I mean, I

456
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: know they have been don't break off I mean defense,

457
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to see them probably make a

458
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: couple more tackle for loss. But I think this team,

459
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: this defense has a lot of upside. They just gotta

460
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: put it all together. Like it's just not like right

461
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: now they're giving up too many yards for me. But

462
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: I really believe they're they're tightening up when they need to,

463
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They're not giving up. They're

464
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: not giving up the end zone every week, you know

465
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: what I mean. They're they're they're tightening up in the

466
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: red zones, They're tightened up in the green zones. They're

467
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: tightening up everywhere you want them to. But they're still

468
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: giving up a lot of yards more than i'd like

469
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: to see. But I really still high on this defense.

470
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: All right. What about males in the passing game? Gotta

471
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: get better. They're working on it. They were a little

472
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: bit better against Jacksonville. Not a ton of yards, they

473
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: made some throws. What are you thinking moving forward? Well,

474
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: I just don't want Davids to be checked down, Charlie,

475
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Like, I don't want him

476
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: going like right now with these averaging five six yards

477
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: of the tempt you know what I mean. And it's

478
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: probably a little bit more per completion if you do

479
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: with the numbers that way, probably eight nine yards per completion.

480
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: You know, I'd like to see him push the ball

481
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more, you know, if you can get

482
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: ten eleven yards per completion, I would I would love that.

483
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: I would love to see first downs every time you

484
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: let go to ball and that's and of course it's

485
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: passion rating to jump up in his and his and

486
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: his UH and his average to jump up. I would

487
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: love to see more consistency out of him because I

488
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: think he's a smart guy. I think he's a guy

489
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: who you can you continue to see get better week

490
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: in and week out with his decision makings and the

491
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: way the ball comes out of his end, like when

492
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: he's when he's on and when he's really died in

493
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: the ball, the ball shoots out of his end. And

494
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: I would like to see that weekend, week out. Trevor Lawrence,

495
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: what are you seeing out of him? They score six

496
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: points against the Texans. This is a team that blew

497
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: out the Chargers two weeks prior. Oh yeah, this seems

498
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: this seems up and down. I mean, they're they're they're

499
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: they're at the Jacksonville Jaguars. They well, how many is

500
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: that straight? Did we beat the Jacksonville Jaguars nine straight?

501
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: Think about that? That reminds me off USC UCLA in

502
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: the nineties, like where USC couldn't beat Ucla to save

503
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: their life. You know, like it's just I Jacksonville. For

504
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: some reason, we've always had their number here, so like,

505
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: no matter how good they are, no matter how bad

506
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: we are, or vice versa, we always find a way

507
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: to whoop Jacksonvie. Fifteen games above five hundred all time.

508
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: It's amazing because it's not that way against the Cults

509
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: and the Titans. We don't have to get into that

510
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: right now. A couple more for you. The Raiders are

511
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: next in Vegas. Thoughts on the NFL in Vegas. Is

512
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: this something that you wish was around when you were

513
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: playing or are you glad it wasn't? No idea, I

514
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: wish I wish it was around. What's it gonna be? Likes,

515
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: what's it gonna be like for the players travels traveling

516
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: to Vegas. I'm excited because I'm going on the trip.

517
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: That's you. You're free, you know what. I believe that

518
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: when they put the Raiders there, I said, Man, this

519
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be The Raiders be undefeated at home every week.

520
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: Every year should be undefeated at home because you you

521
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: allow those guys to come out there, and if every

522
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: team should, a lot of guys come out there on Friday, right,

523
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: I think that's that's the smartest thing to do, say,

524
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, what we're gonna travel on Friday, We're gonna

525
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: give you a day to get doctor system. But Saturday

526
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: we gotta die back in. You know what I mean.

527
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: Like you do Friday, you do, go gamble over Saturday,

528
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: go gamble, do all the stuff that you would normally

529
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: do here in town. It's not thinking about the defensive lines.

530
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: So we should have defensive line Day on Thursdays. Okay,

531
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: the deepest. So we'll have like a dinner and we'll

532
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: go get you know, get a suite somewhere, little concert,

533
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: do whatever we want to do. The DBS, the linebackers,

534
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: they would do Fridays. Okay, you know an old line

535
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: would do Fridays. You know what I'm saying. So allow

536
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: everybody to go do a team function somewhere probably on

537
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: when you get out there, run out one of those places,

538
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, go go get you some eat, some good

539
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 1: some some good delectable eating, get some get get some

540
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: libations in you get some gambling and get it out

541
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: of the way and then lock in. And that IV's

542
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: for everybody on Saturday. Why not what everybody everybody gets.

543
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: You wake up in the morning. It's like the first

544
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: thing in the meeting everybody lines up like a torretouse shot,

545
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: get your IV and you just wheeling around real fast.

546
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: Was over. I had the nerve to ask Lovey about

547
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: hotel security on Saturday night before you play. You know,

548
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: I was just joking around and he said, what is

549
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: there anything in Vegas that's special or different from other cities.

550
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, not really, it's just Vegas, that's all. The

551
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: thing is, I don't even know what, like what hotel

552
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: are they staying. Well, I'm not gonna say it on

553
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: the air, but it's probably close enough. But everything's close

554
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: but Vegas. But it's not. It's not. My thing is

555
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: I'm not staying in the desert. But so my biggest

556
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: thing is is if they're staying on the screw these

557
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: are It's not directly if they're not staying at Mandalaid

558
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: Bay or Caesars, which is our partner, that would be

559
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: actually convenient to stay at Caesar's Palace. That's not happening,

560
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: because that's what I'm thinking, Like, the hotels are so massive. Yeah,

561
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,719
Speaker 1: there's no way you keep track of all those guys,

562
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: No way. There's too many eggits on like every floor,

563
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: there's two ways to go everywhere. Yeah, it's not like

564
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: staying somewhere in Kansas City or Indie or something like that.

565
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: Definitely not. You know, Indie's quiet, as givit. INDI's a

566
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: dang good place to stay too. It's a pretty good

567
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: time too, it is it. We'll look at the combine.

568
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: Is a great deal there and all of it is.

569
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: Jerry shows up with the bus. Jerry and the bus.

570
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: I've tweeted pictures of me outside the bus with others

571
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: on our crew. Because the bus just happens to be

572
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: parked in various spots. I'm not saying I know what's

573
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: going on in the bus. Travis, thanks left for being

00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: it's been so frustrating to you know, last year was

609
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: a little different because you know, there were some games

610
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: we weren't even in, right, so it's like, okay, let's

611
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: just move on to the next week. To come so

612
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: close to these games and not come out of with

613
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: a win is so frustrating. So to get this one,

614
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna it's gonna you know, we're gonna

615
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: ride with this one for sure. Yeah, to be able

616
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: to close it out because you got the big stops

617
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: when you needed to and you got the big drive

618
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: when you need it too. On the other side of

619
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: the ball, when you guys see Pierce doing what he's doing,

620
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: for instance, I mean, it's so physical that twenty yard run.

621
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about it, but in general, there are a

622
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: bunch of them. What does that do for you as

623
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: a defense where you're watching that from the sideline. I

624
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: mean it's just fuel, you know what I mean, He's

625
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: just he's honestly, he's incredible, Like honestly, it's fun to watch,

626
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, and sometimes you know, Mena Kirk, what we're

627
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: talking yesterday, we're just to sit back on the bench

628
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: and just watch that, like so close on the field.

629
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: Is it's kind of like we're fans at that point. Um.

630
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: But I mean, for you know, I think that yesterday

631
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: was our first time playing like complimentary football, right all

632
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: three phases where we're doing their thing. Um, you know, defense,

633
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: like you said, defense was getting stops right, uh, offense

634
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: was doing their thing and and just you know, eating

635
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: up the clock and scoring points. So I mean, we're

636
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: excited and to watch Damian do his thing. Man, it's

637
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: it's crazy. It seemed like Levey Smith after the Chargers

638
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: game was really rough on the defense. I mean, that's

639
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: probably the most I've heard him say that. It just

640
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: the defense just needed to play better. Did you guys

641
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: do something different throughout the week or was it an

642
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: attitude adjustment? Like what did you do differently? Because you

643
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: guys really came out firing it. It was a tough

644
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: day for Trevor Lawrence, who had been having a pretty

645
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: good season so far. You know, I feel like I'm

646
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: not a defensive coordinator, right, but but just you know,

647
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: when you when we're right. So yeah, well yeah, when

648
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: we play, you know, we're trying you trying to figure

649
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: out your identity, right, what you're good at. And that's

650
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: what really I think is the first four games, right,

651
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: you have your preseason, which is you're building your team

652
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: and stuff. But I feel like first four games and

653
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: maybe even first five games, you're you're really figuring out

654
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: like what you're good at, like what your team is

655
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: good at, and all that stuff. And I think that's

656
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: a little bit what we were going through a little bit, right,

657
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: And to come out and we ran our stuff yesterday

658
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,239
Speaker 1: and that's you know, that's at the end of the day.

659
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: That was our bread and butter, and it was, you know, dominant.

660
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: I felt like, I mean, Trevor Lawrence had only thrown

661
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: two interceptions this season. He threw two yesterday. Maybe the

662
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: last one you could say, okay that he just sort

663
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: of chucked it up there. But what did you feel

664
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: like you guys were doing well that you want to

665
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: build on now here moving forward? I think we're just

666
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: I think the only thing I can really say is

667
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: we're just playing our game, right, We're the defense that

668
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: we feel comfortable with doing. Is just we were really

669
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: executing those plays. Yeah, what we need to do well

670
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: and like we said, making the big stops. I mean,

671
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about. I know in the Chargers game,

672
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: you wanted that final stop, couldn't get it and things

673
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: like that. So it's a really encouraging thing. All right.

674
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: So now we head into the bye and what do

675
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: you do during the bye because clearly you don't want

676
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: to completely unplug, but you do want to unplug. How

677
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: do you handle that aspect that it is a weird one,

678
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: right because it's so early, so it's like you're not

679
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: your body is not really there yet. Like we could

680
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: really keep going, right and you know, to have what

681
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: is it twelve games after? Yeah, like that, it's a stretch, right,

682
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: So it's not ideal, but you know, either way, you

683
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: got to get away and just treat it the same.

684
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: And just like you said, I think it's important to

685
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: unplug a little bit. I do you know, I think

686
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: this season so long and um, you need to just

687
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: get away from football for a little bit and and

688
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: just um, just unwind and then when you come back,

689
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: you like kind of have a fresh start. And with

690
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: us going twelve games straight, I think it's important. Is

691
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: a bye week does it look like just getting away physically,

692
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: like you get out of town, goes it family or

693
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: is it more like it's Netflix and chill. It's different.

694
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: It's different. Um. I think that every year for me

695
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: has been a little different. This year, me and my

696
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: girlfriend are going to go down to Florida. We're gonna go,

697
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, just they have a beach her and her

698
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: family has his beach house down there, so we're gonna go. Um,

699
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: just kind of relax. That sounds good. Yeah, right, very relaxing.

700
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna need to relax a little bit, get away

701
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: for you know, two three days and um, and then

702
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: we'll be back. But you know, I think every year

703
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: is a little different for me. Como gruget Hill joining

704
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: us on the Texans Players show. All right, but I

705
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: want to talk about some fun stuff And I was

706
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: going to hijack the show with Eastern Illinois trivia, but

707
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: I figured that might not be good. Actually, DP to,

708
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: I don't think we should do that, Yes, don't do it,

709
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: don't even try to do it. But we will get

710
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: into some Hawaii stuff because that's where you're from. But

711
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: I want to talk about some of these young players

712
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: on defense. You as a veteran and doing what you've

713
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: done in this league, then you see guys coming in

714
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: here and they're learning, and they're making some plays. They're learning,

715
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: they're paying some dividends. It's a process, right when you

716
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: look at Stingley with his first pick, what Petree's doing

717
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: so far? What about some of the young players, especially

718
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: on defense, of course, I mean it's it's actually it's

719
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: very encouraging, right, see these guys come in play at

720
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: such a high level so quickly, and um, I mean

721
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: they're holding their own right, Like it's not like we're

722
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: having to like, hey guys, you guys do this. It's

723
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: like sometimes there's even sometimes they're taking charge, right like

724
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: Petrie's like getting on some of the linebacker's getting on

725
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: d line, or like Stings you know, voicing his opinions

726
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: on all this. So I mean it's it's those two

727
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: are are special, you know for sure, So I mean

728
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: they got a right feature. I know a lot of

729
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: people are very curious about Christian Harris. He's been on

730
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: IR and maybe he'll come back because he's now practicing

731
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: with the team again. But you saw him in camp.

732
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: He saw in the off season. I heard so much

733
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: about his speed, But you know, what have you thought

734
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: about him so far? And I know Lovey has talked

735
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: about just the adjustment and what's expected of linebackers. It's

736
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: it's a pretty big jump when you're a rookie. No,

737
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean I definitely think you know, especially in this defense, right,

738
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: they It's I hate this. I always hated when people say, like, oh,

739
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: the linebrier is a quarterback of the defense. Right, It's

740
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: kind of like, hey, we're this defense, right, everyone kind

741
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: of plays whatever, but like in this defense there kind

742
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: of is like that, right, we kind of we're running

743
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, all the checksum front end, back end. So

744
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, there's a lot on our plate.

745
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: But you know, he I'm excited for it when he

746
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: goes back because that kid can straight out ball, right,

747
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: And I'm excited um to just to just see him,

748
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, grow and there's gonna be good some growing plains.

749
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: There's some growing pains with everyone, right, But just get

750
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: him out there and just let him do his thing

751
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: is gonna be is gonna be good. There's nothing like

752
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: playing and fully participating in practice. But do you feel

753
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: like and I know this is a question for him,

754
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: but just as a player in general, do you feel

755
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 1: like he's seen enough to absorb enough to be able

756
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: to contribute pretty quickly relatively? Yeah, for sure, I think

757
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: you know he was. He was right there in training

758
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: camp too. Who wasn't you know, struggling mentally if you know,

759
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: or anything where he was like having a hard time

760
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: with the playbooks. I think you know, he should be fine, excellent,

761
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: looking forward to that seeing U Christian Harris get out there.

762
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: All right. So you have the Raiders in Vegas coming

763
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: up as your next game and we probably won't get

764
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: a chance to catch up like this, but the NFL

765
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: in Vegas? Are you? Are you feeling this concept yet?

766
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: Are you on board with this just yet? What's it

767
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna be like? Projection wise? I mean, as you think

768
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: about what it's like to go play a road game anywhere,

769
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: you're playing a road game in Vegas, you know, it's weird.

770
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: It's very different. It's definitely weird. But so I actually

771
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: played there in twenty twenty but so there's no fans,

772
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: but their stadium is actually unbelievable. Like I think it's

773
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: one of my favorite away stadiums to be honest, Like

774
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: it's just it's pretty awesome. So I'm excited for it.

775
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: But I do understand the concept and just like the

776
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, will you go out because sometimes on the road,

777
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: you guys don't leave the hotel, but maybe you go

778
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: to a nearby restaurant. Is that true? Sometimes you're able

779
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: to do that. Sometimes you get some divntime, so you

780
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: go get some you know, get some food or meet

781
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: up with some family whatever. Actually, you know, they call

782
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: Vegas like the Ninth Island of Hai, so like everyone, yeah,

783
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: you know, everyone's in my family is gonna be out there,

784
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 1: and you know, I got a bunch of friends coming

785
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: out so where we will definitely see them. Well, I

786
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: think they're gonna draw so well forever. Because it's such

787
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: an easy place to get to from everywhere relative to

788
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: the amount of flights that go in. Everybody wants to

789
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: go there. There's plenty of other stuff to do. But

790
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: will there be a temptation to, hey, I'm just gonna

791
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: walk into the casino and look around from just just

792
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: a prouse. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think business trip. Yeah,

793
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: business trip. You know we got all the time in

794
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: off season they get we have months in off season.

795
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: I actually I go to Vegas and these amounts you

796
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: know you do? Yeah? I care so um yeah, no,

797
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: that won't be at least for me. I really be

798
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 1: in bed because it's all the games have been so early. Yeah,

799
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: what time do you normally go to bed on a

800
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: road trip? Road trip depends, you know, round ten? I say,

801
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: like ten, ten thirty? Yeah, do you do you get enough?

802
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: Just getting warmed up at that point in general comment

803
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: do you get as much sleep as you want? Or

804
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: would you like to get more? Or how do you

805
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: feel about the amount of sleep you're getting? Because I

806
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: know athletes are very particular about this kind of thing.

807
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: So this is I was just actually talking to something

808
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: about this. I think it's crazy that, you know, I

809
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: can't put my finger on the night before games, like

810
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: I think Friday nights are the most important for me.

811
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: Two days before. I just think that, like if when

812
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: every time, every time I get good sleep Friday night,

813
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: I feel great, right, but the game night before the game,

814
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: I could sleep five hours tossing and turning and feel

815
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: amazing in the game now, and then another game, I

816
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: can sleep nine hours and feel like sluggish. You know,

817
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: it's just like it's just weird. It's always, but it's

818
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: only the night before the game that's kind of weird.

819
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't know do they track your sleep, because I

820
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: know they track pretty much every other men. Sure they do.

821
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 1: I mean not like they're just asking, you know, how

822
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: are you sleeping and all this kind of stuff. But

823
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, if it's not a concern, they're not. You know,

824
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: can I just say that I bought an or A

825
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: ring And I'm not sponsored by or A ring, but

826
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: I bought it and I wear it at night because

827
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by sleep as well. And sometimes it's like,

828
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: you're right, you can get nine hours of sleep, you

829
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: feel tired, you can get less sleep and you feel fine.

830
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: And and what I learned was sometimes it's like it

831
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: could be what you ate. Yeah, it could be how

832
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: late you had caffeine that day. It could be how

833
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: late you're watching TV. It's not the hours of sleep.

834
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 1: But if you're tossing and turning, even for nine hours,

835
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not a good So actually, what's weird

836
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: is I actually want to get the or ring. But

837
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm like sometimes I'm kind of like, uh, not superstitious,

838
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: but I can get in my head about these kind

839
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: of things. So like, for example, if I sleep good

840
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: and like my ring bad sleep, I'm like, you're gonna

841
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: feel bad. I'm gonna feel bad. All right, You're not

842
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: a rookie anymore, commus, So how do you handle what

843
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 1: you eat and how you take care of your body?

844
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: How has that changed over the years since you've come

845
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: into the league. Yeah, you know, I think it's a

846
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: lot of It's same kind of thing, right, trial and error.

847
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: You kind of just you know, eliminate things just depending

848
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: on how your body feels. And you know, you can

849
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: eat something and you know, you play a game or whatever,

850
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: and then the next day you're like, damn, I feel horrible.

851
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: Or you eat something and you're like, hey, I feel

852
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: pretty good. Like I'm getting good recovery on stuff. So, um,

853
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: I think for me is you know, I've cut out

854
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: dairy and sugar has been the biggest thing. Dairy for sure,

855
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: Like I noticed that when I eat dairy, Um, like

856
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: inflammation wise, like my joints and kind of stuff. Kind

857
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: of I feel worse. But wow, were you the one

858
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: that told me that on game days you are vegan? Yeah?

859
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: Do you still do still do that? Yeah? Okay, so

860
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: that's no dairy, no meat, no no, no pro, no pro.

861
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: It's no meat mainly, yeah, no animal products. Animal product

862
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: slows down the digestion maybe or something like that. The

863
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 1: documentary Game Changers, No, because I'm afraid. I'm afraid it's

864
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: gonna make me vegetarian vegan. So that's the one that

865
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: like universally like worldwide, right, it just shocked everyone, and

866
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: then everyone's like, oh, we need to like think about this, right.

867
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: And then so I kind of, you know, I remember

868
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: I was in Philly at the time, and like our

869
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: whole locker room was like there was guys going like

870
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: straight vegan after it, right, And the Kenny Stills was

871
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: actually a part of he was Yeah, he was in

872
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: it at the time. We're talking to him about that, Okay, So, um,

873
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: you know there's certain things I was like, I'm me personally,

874
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: like I just can't not eat meat, Like that's just

875
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: I'll never be able to do that. Right. I love fish,

876
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: I love like two delicious steaks. I love exactly right.

877
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: Sorry it is so yeah exactly um. But the one

878
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: thing I did take from that with the one with

879
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: Kenny Steels, actually it was they're doing a blood test

880
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 1: and um, they were showing how like meat can affect

881
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: your blood like within the hour. So like if you

882
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: eat you know, meat products or whatever, like your blood

883
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: is a little thicker. Um, And it's like kind of

884
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: it sounds yeah right, but it's like it just it, Um,

885
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: what does that affect? Like you? I think that the

886
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: way your oxygen can move throughout your your blood and

887
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: just all this kind of stuff, you know. But they

888
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: showed like when you're eat vegan product products, it's like

889
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: your blood stream is very like fluid and like oxygen

890
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: can flow and stuff. And so I tried it and

891
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: I actually felt like more energy I could like actually running,

892
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: like I wasn't getting tired all this kind of stuff.

893
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: So like that's the one thing I did take from it. Man,

894
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: it's interesting stuff there from Grugier Hill. Now let's hear

895
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: some from Oj Howard. That's next right here on Texans

896
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: All Access. We got one hour down, one hour left

897
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: to go on this TGIF edition of Texans All Access.

898
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: Love of Friday edition of Texas All Access, especially second hour.

899
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: We got a lot to do. If you missed the

900
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: first hour, you missed all my predictions. You missed a

901
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: great interview with Mark and Trap Jay Travis Johnson, of course,

902
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: Comma Gruger Hill, stop buying our last segment with Deep

903
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: City and Mark Vannimure. Speaking of Deep, it's time for

904
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: one of our deep Slant interviews of the week, and

905
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: that one is with OJ Howard. I would say he's

906
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: the most recently signed tight end, but I think I

907
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: think he and Jordan Nakins maybe we're signed within days

908
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: of one another, one to the fifty three man roster,

909
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: one of the practice squad, and now they're both together

910
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man roster and dpad chance catch

911
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 1: up with Oj back after you had a couple touchdowns

912
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 1: to get Senieapolis Colts. It's fun stuff. Take a listen.

913
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: You said that you came in in week one and

914
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: you were only learning your portion of the playbook. How

915
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 1: is that transition in going you've been learn a little

916
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: bit more. Yeah, it's been good. That was that was

917
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: a plan, you know, kind of just go week to

918
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: week and then you know, as we go home try

919
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: to like give me the whole schematically scheme of the

920
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: playbook in general. So you know, this week, my role

921
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: as far as trying to learn more has grown, So

922
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a lot of studying and you

923
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: know that's what I've been doing really all right. So

924
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: first game of the Texans, you scored two touchdowns. You

925
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: were just the third tight end in NFL history who

926
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: scored two touchdowns in their first game with a team.

927
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: So you're part of NFL story. You've also had some

928
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: pretty historic games. Tom Brady as a buccaneer, his first

929
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: touchdown was also too. Yeah, what was that moment? Like

930
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: when Tom Brady comes in and you're the first guy

931
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: that catches a pass room in the end zone. Um,

932
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: that was cool. It was awesome. Funny thing about it

933
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 1: is when he first got to training camp, I call

934
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: it the first tennisdown pass. Oh you did? Yeah, so,

935
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: and then it just happened to work out that way

936
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: in the game. So it was kind of cool that

937
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, it happened that way, but that was awesome. Um,

938
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: I got a chance to keep the ball, so I

939
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: still got it okay framed at home, So that was

940
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I mean, you worked with a lot of

941
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks over the years. Was it super different when

942
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: Brady comes in and he's sort of running the offense. Yeah,

943
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: it was, you know, just you know, hearing this guy,

944
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, speak about you know, the game from a

945
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: different aspect of that. We've always heard it, you know,

946
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: it's stuff we hadn't heard before. I mean, stuff we've

947
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: heard before. But to make him keep it simple was like, oh,

948
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: it's really that easy, you know it was. It's just

949
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: the way his terminology was made it at last mode.

950
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: He've also played with a quarterback that we're very familiar

951
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: with here, Ryan Fitzpatrick, who we just loved when he

952
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: was here. Fitzy and he had the moment where he

953
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 1: put on to Shawn Jackson's jacket and gold chains because

954
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: he wanted it. He was joking like, we should stay

955
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: humble and not change who we are. I went back

956
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: and I looked at the stats. You also kind of

957
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: touched it on that game too, Yeah, the one that

958
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: really elevated Fitzy in Tampa Bay seventy five yard touchdown game.

959
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: What was it like playing with Fitzy? It was awesome,

960
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: always magic, you know what I mean, Like fitz Magic

961
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 1: is magic is real. I mean, you know, so I

962
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: got to play with him, and you know, it's always

963
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: like the plays that you know, you can't draw up

964
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: on paper and you still make the teschdowns happen. You know,

965
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: just the experience, his personality, it was the whole nine yards.

966
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: So as a tight end, like a lot we see

967
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: a lot of guys switched to tight ends in their career,

968
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: but You've always been a true tight end. Your five

969
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: star recruit coming out of high school, first round draft pick,

970
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: coming out of college. When did you decide that tight

971
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: end was a position you were going to play? And

972
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: was there ever any other position that interested you? Yeah? Yeah,

973
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: So you know, really when I started playing tight end

974
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: was like eleventh grade when I kind of like kind

975
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: of like tapped into it a little bit. But senior

976
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: years were not really fully went the tight end. Even

977
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 1: at Alabama, I was getting recruited as a linebacker outside

978
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: a linebacker at first, and then they were like, okay,

979
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: this kid can play tight end, let's offer me as

980
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: a tight end. So you know, it was my senior

981
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: year when I finally like dialed in and played tight

982
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: end fully the whole football season. Other than that. My

983
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: high school, I played all around, running back, quarterback a

984
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: little bit. So senior year. I know, I don't know

985
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: if you read your Wikipedia page, because Wikipedia's we know,

986
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: is not all facts, but on there it says that

987
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: Nick Saban actually regretted that he didn't play you more

988
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: before your senior year. Did that actually happen and how

989
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: did that conversation go? Yeah? So Wikipedia, quick quick thing

990
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: about it. It's not always fact. It's not always fact.

991
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: My birthday's wrong on Wikipedia, so you know, I know

992
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: that's true. So it's not it's not you writing your

993
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: Wikipedia clearly. Okay, that's parts true, but but yeah, that

994
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: that is Coach did come out and say that, I

995
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: think in an interview or so. But you know, at

996
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: the time when I was at Alabama, we were known

997
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: for running the ball really well. Yeah, and we were

998
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: were establishing the dominate run game, so, um, the tight

999
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: end would get the ball, you know, off of that,

1000
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, off the success of the

1001
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: run game, and then if it's if it's working, I'll

1002
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: change it. So we didn't really air it out like

1003
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: that Alabama when I played, but you know, it still

1004
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: worked out. It helped me become a blocker and develop

1005
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: as an all around tight end. So you have a

1006
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: national championship with Alabama, you have a Super Bowl ring.

1007
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean that's very rare, I think for a football

1008
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: players have both of those things. So if you had

1009
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: to rank your best sports memory, what would it be?

1010
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, the national championship because of

1011
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 1: the work that I put it in with those guys

1012
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,720
Speaker 1: and we all came in as a class and as freshman,

1013
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: and we all got to become come from boys to

1014
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: young men as we got older, because we wanted our

1015
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: junior year and we're going to be the last class

1016
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: to not win one. Because Nick Saban, every class has

1017
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: won a ring with him. Okay, recruited and it came

1018
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: down to our last year to do it before guys

1019
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: entered the draft. So that was our last chance, and

1020
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: guy's buckled up and made it happen and we kept

1021
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: it going until this day. That's still the fact that

1022
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: every team has won a championship every recruiting class. So

1023
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: that that was special to me because it came down

1024
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: to the war. For us, it was either win it

1025
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: or be the team that kind of messed it up.

1026
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: Brook the Street. Yeah, so that that really it was

1027
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: special to me. Well, I was going to ask you

1028
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: what means more the National championship or the super Bowl,

1029
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: But it sounds like in college that means more just

1030
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: because you're with the same guys for so long exactly. Um,

1031
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: just that camardity, like standing at the dorms with those

1032
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: guys running those one teams and sweating and like I said,

1033
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: it just college is a lot, you know, a lot

1034
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 1: more connected, I think. But nothing takes away from the

1035
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: super Bowl, but that college one is something that you know,

1036
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: we always will remember for sure. All Right, You've gone

1037
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: through your share of adversity in your career as well.

1038
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: Back in twenty you had the Achilles injury which knocked

1039
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: you up for the year. Was that the toughest injury

1040
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: that you'd had to date? And what was that like

1041
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: coming back from that? Yeah, that was hard, you know,

1042
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: the recovery process was hard. You know, that's a tough injury.

1043
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: It is. It is it's like you know, used to

1044
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: be a career under like maybe like fifteen years ago

1045
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,479
Speaker 1: or so. But you know, and and at that time

1046
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: it was the first year Tom came, I was I

1047
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: was having a great year starting off and you know,

1048
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: got a good connection with him and Dan Boom. Week four,

1049
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: I do that, Um, it just kind of tore me up.

1050
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was hard. You know, in the recovery

1051
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: was a tough one. And like I said that, injuries

1052
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: like a two year recovery process just to get the

1053
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: nervous system back going the right way. So that that

1054
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: by far was the toughest one ever. So that was

1055
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, and then this off season you signed

1056
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,439
Speaker 1: with Buffalo. You're with Buffalo throughout the whole off season,

1057
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 1: throughout camp, they released you, and then you signed with

1058
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: the Texans as we know, right after training camp ended.

1059
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: So what were the emotions like going through something like that.

1060
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: You've been with the same team for five years and

1061
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: now you switched two teams in the off season. What's

1062
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: going through your head when all this is going on?

1063
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: You know, like I told all my friends and my

1064
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: family as all that was going on, it was it

1065
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: was kind to hectic a little bit for you know,

1066
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: people you know that were outside a little bit, but

1067
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: the friends and family kind of knew. I was like,

1068
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, the work has been put in. We're just

1069
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: gonna trust the process, you know what I mean, everything's

1070
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: happened for a reason. It's already written. So you know,

1071
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: if we just do our part, everything us is going

1072
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: to fall in line. So that was kind of my

1073
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: mindset up in Buffalo. I got an opportunity to to

1074
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: put in some great work. You know, it's a good team.

1075
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,760
Speaker 1: Got to work with another great quarterback, great players on defense.

1076
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: So you know, I knew that I was getting great looks,

1077
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean if it didn't work out

1078
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 1: like you didn't, if I had made another stop and

1079
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: found a home and I was gonna be ready to play,

1080
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: and that's what happened. Kind of here. I know in

1081
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: the locker room, you had said that you had heard

1082
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: about Lovey through some guys in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

1083
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: locker room. He was gone by then, but there were

1084
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: some players that remain. I asked Lovey about it if

1085
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: he had heard anything about you, and he said, of course,

1086
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: she saw those connections with Buffalo in Tampa Bay and

1087
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,959
Speaker 1: they really wanted you here. So when you come here

1088
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: in Houston and you meet with Lovey for the first time,

1089
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: did you sort of live up to that expectation or

1090
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: what you had heard? And did you guys have any

1091
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: of those conversations. Yeah, yeah, he did. Like you know,

1092
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys that I was around, like Vonte, David,

1093
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: Cameron Break, those guys were there with him. So you know,

1094
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: I was just like, how was the coach before I

1095
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: got here? And they were like, oh, it was lovey.

1096
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: It's like, man, we liked him, bro he down to earth,

1097
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, it was. It was those type of conversations.

1098
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 1: Me as a rookie wonder like how it was before,

1099
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 1: you know, in the previous rigid Yeah, so we got

1100
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: on conversations like that, and I had a buddy and

1101
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: equipment room that coached under him. He even said great

1102
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,439
Speaker 1: things about him. Then when I got here, I met

1103
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: Coach Smith and well before I actually met him, we

1104
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 1: got on the phone first. Okay, so they we got

1105
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: we called on the phone, and then I met him

1106
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: in person. And then you're just watching them around and

1107
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: as demeanor as cool as a fan, you know, real

1108
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: stand up guy, and you know what I mean, And

1109
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: those are the things I already heard. But when you

1110
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 1: see it and you're getting me the person for yourself,

1111
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: it brings it to light. So that that was cool.

1112
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: That was a cool, cool to see all right, so

1113
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: you meet Lovey, you meet your new teammates. So I

1114
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: want to play a little word association game with you.

1115
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 1: The first word that comes to mind when you when

1116
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: I asked about your fellow tight ends. Now, this could

1117
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: be based on your first impressions, or actually it should

1118
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: be based on here or how well you know them now?

1119
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: Brevin Jordan Brevin. I know, going back to Brevin, he

00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: was a great win in Jacksonville. I do a show

1179
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: every Tuesday night called Texans Matchup, and I look back

1180

1184
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,120

1193
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: that particular game. Win or lose. Some games, that's been

1194
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: hard to do, but this week it was a lot

1195
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: easier to do. So I thought, on a Friday night

1201
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: is going to finish at number one, and that's Damian Pierce.

1202
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: But earlier in the game, he got rolling on the

1203
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: first field goal drive. He had three chunk runs that

1204
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: really got the Jaguars attention, and it got the Texans

1205
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: old line really involved in the game. And here they are.

1206
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,640

Speaker 1: five and spun down at the thirty eight yard line.

1210
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 1: First down, carry twelve yards. Damian Pierce moved the sticks

1211
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: back set ane should be the last play of the

1212
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: first quarter. Mills feeds Pierce again right side, across the

1213
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,720
Speaker 1: forty and taking people with him to the forty five

1214
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: yard line. One a run for seven yards. Damian Pierce,

1215
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: Texans on the move. As the first quarter comes to

1216
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: an end. Second and three Texans from the Houston forty

1217
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,320
Speaker 1: five yard line with Pierce and the backfield mills under center.

1218
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: Two receivers stacked left handoff Pierce starting left, cutting right

1219
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: fifty forty five to the sideline, forty up the sideline,

1220
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,720
Speaker 1: out of bounds across the thirty seven yard line. Another

1221
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: sensational run by Damian Pierce to move them all into

1222
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 1: Jacksonville territory seventeen yards scamper. I love the use of

1223
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: the word scamper. Nice John Mark Vannimir, but that was three.

1224
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: Those are three tremendous runs there by Damian Pierce, thirty

1225
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: six yards in total on those three runs on a

1226
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: drive that led to a field goal. And I'm glad

1227
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: that I brought up that field goal because let's get

1228
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: to number ten, number ten in our play highlights sheet too,

1229
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 1: So it kind of fits. The Texans had gotten in

1230
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: position with those pierced runs, but drive stalled the round

1231
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: thirty two thirty three yard line. No real wind in

1232
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: Duval County, but things he can get kind of funky

1233
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: in that stadium too. You can have you can feel

1234
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 1: the wind down below, but then the sticks aren't moving,

1235
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 1: so can kind of go side to side. It can

1236
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: be a little weird. In that building. But Kimie Fairbaron said,

1237
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: you can have your win, John, I'm gonna nail this

1238
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: fifty yard field goal and tie this thing up at three.

1239
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Kimie Fairbaron did. He took those

1240
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,720
Speaker 1: three pierced runs, a couple of throw to Nico Collins,

1241
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: and got the Texans up on the board and tied

1242
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: it at three. It comes in at number ten, fifty

1243
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,280
Speaker 1: yard field goal attempt for Fairbaron between the hashes, snap

1244
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: is down, the kick is up, and fairbarn is good

1245
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 1: and ties the game three three. Kimie blasted that one.

1246
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: That thing was I always measure it by where it

1247
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: crosses the stick, and that thing was crossing more than

1248
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: three quarters of the way up the stick and it

1249
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: was smoking. That thing was good from sixty plus. He

1250
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: bombed that one. So Kayomi tie the game at three

1251
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: with that first fifty yard field goal. So it's good

1252
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: to get on the board at that point. Now. One

1253
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: of the things that coach talked about, I think it

1254
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: was after the game he was asked about the takeaways,

1255
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: and he made sure to mention the fact that the

1256
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: Texans also had three quote unquote other takeaways two, and

1257
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: those would be the fourth down stops in the game.

1258
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: There were three of them. There was the fourth and

1259
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: ten that happened late in the game where Derek Stingley

1260
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: was in perfect position to force Trevor to have to

1261
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: throw a ball away. That turnover fourth down. I mean,

1262
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: that's what it is when team doesn't get it on

1263
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: the stat sheet? Was it say turnover on downs? So

1264
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: that's a much a takeaway. It's a forced turnover. I

1265
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: guess it's the right way of saying it now. They

1266
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: had a couple others too, But one that came up

1267
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: big was in the fourth quarter. Jaguars driving and they

1268
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: gotten kind of no man's land, but they got at

1269
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: the fourth and one, and they had already been stopped

1270
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: on a fourth down earlier in the game because the

1271
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: Texans on fourth and one they had been better stopping

1272
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: the run in the second half. How much better was

1273
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,919
Speaker 1: really gonna come to fruition on this fourth and one

1274
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars As the Texans front stuffed the running

1275
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: back James Robinson, kept him short of a first down

1276
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: and kept the Jaguars off the scoreboard. It comes in

1277
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: at number nine fourth and one at their Houston thirty

1278
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: eight Lawrence, and they got on Robins in the backfield

1279
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: with them. Here's the snap, here's the gift to Robinson

1280
00:58:56,160 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: plowing forward, and they stopped short at the thirty eight

1281
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 1: yard line. Well, Leek Collins in the middle of that,

1282
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: and it was one of those situations where the old

1283
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,439
Speaker 1: lineman are trying to get behind the play and push

1284
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: the pile forward. They couldn't do it, and the Texans

1285
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: get another turnover on downs. Here they at the ball

1286
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: in a six six game twelve twenty seven ago in

1287
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,919
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Now, the Texans would not go down

1288
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: a score off of that stop, but it kept the

1289
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: Jaguars from keeping a potential scoring drive alive. And yes,

1290
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: Lee Collins was big on that, as was big Heinie

1291
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: Kurt Heinisch in there. They both crashed down the line

1292
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and really created a huge pile that Robinson

1293
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 1: was unable to find any scene. And then the Jaguars

1294
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: got no push from behind. Nobody came and tried to

1295
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 1: shove a man forward. You see, the all time Jaguars

1296
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: did not do that, and the Texans got to stop,

1297
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: got the Jaguars off the field and kept them off

1298
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: the scoreboard, which was absolutely massive. A great job there

1299
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: buy the Texans two defense in the second half to

1300
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: not only hold a Jaguars running game in check, but

1301
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: also get that stop on fourth and one. All right,

1302
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: let's get two number eight and we go right back

1303
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: to the well. The Texans had a three three lead.

1304
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: I got a drive going before half, couldn't get it

1305
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: passed about the same spot they were in on their

1306
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: first field goal drive, so they turned it over to

1307
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: Kaimie Fairbaron, and he from fifty one yards out knocked

1308
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: this one home to get the Texans a six three lead.

1309
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Here's Fairbaron left hash mark fifty one yard field goal attempt.

1310
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: He made it from fifty in this and moments ago

1311
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: weeks with the snap, Cameron Johnston with the hold. Here's

1312
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:46,439
Speaker 1: Fairbaron's kick. It's up. It's good. He's two for two

1313
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: and the Texans take the lead on Jacksonville sixty three

1314
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: with three twenty three to go before intermission. All right,

1315
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: let's move on to lucky number seven. And there was

1316
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: no luck here. The Texans had thirteen to sixth lead

1317
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: and they were looking to close out the Jacksonville Jaguars,

1318
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: and there are a couple of key plays on this

1319
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: particular drive trying to slow the Jaguars down. And the

1320
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: first one was Big Rashim Green, and he talked about

1321
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: a guy that's coming into his own Rashim Green has

1322
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: been making some place well. He was rushing Trevor Lawrence,

1323
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: and as he was trying to get to Trevor Lawrence,

1324
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: he got to a point where Lawrence is about to

1325
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball. He wasn't quite there. So the big

1326
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: fellow decided, you know what, I'm just gonna jump up,

1327
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: see what I can do, and he batted it down

1328
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: with his hands and his helmet and the ball went flying.

1329
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 1: Texas couldn't get it, but that breakup led to a

1330
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: fourth and ten throwaway, which nearly ended the game. So

1331
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm putting both of them in here. At number seven,

1332
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: Rashim Green's bat down and then a throwaway into really

1333
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: tight coverage, and it's at number seven, one fifty one

1334
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 1: to go in the fullest quarter of thirteen six. He's

1335
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna lead's third down ten Jags at the fifty Lawrence

1336
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: and the gun etn to his left. Two receivers stacked left,

1337
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: two to the right side. Lawrence takes the snap Lawrence

1338
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: with time throwing batted down at the line fourth and ten.

1339
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: On the way, Rashim Green got a pawn it and

1340
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: it's fourth and long, fourth and ten at the fifty

1341
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: Lawrence and the gun Etn to his right. Here's the

1342
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: snap to Lawrence. Lawrence has time looking firing down field

1343
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: deep and in complete. Texans takeover on downs. Houston has

1344
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: the ball with a minute forty one ago in a

1345
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: thirteen sixth lead. Great plays by Rashim Green and then

1346
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: a team stop. Dirk Stingley in the vicinity had to

1347
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 1: throw that one away even though he had tribs Etn

1348
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: on the flat. I think Stein could have gotten back

1349
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: to him before he got the ten yards, but sting

1350
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: dropped in coverage, made a really hard throw on the

1351
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: short corner of sail route and the Texans got off

1352
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: the field. But they couldn't finish it, and probably for

1353
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 1: good reason. They were just trying to run the clock

1354
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: out and just run time, so they weren't really trying

1355
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: to pound for extra yards, especially the Jags pulling the

1356
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: football so that the punt put it back to the Jacks.

1357
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: Now they could play pass defense. Now they could just

1358
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: rushin their ears back and get after him. And this

1359
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 1: drive started with a guy who had a tremendous, tremendous game,

1360
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: and you'll hear him twice because this final drive, Desmond

1361
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: King was absolutely outrageously good. He comes up with a

1362
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 1: pass breakup right here. It's at six A because I

1363
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: got three different plays at number six, so it's the

1364
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: first one at number six, Desmond King's pass breakup to

1365
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: start to drive. Here are the Jaguars with forty one

1366
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: seconds left, Texans leading thirteen six, no timeouts for Jacksonville.

1367
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: First down from the Jags thirteen, Lawrence and the gun.

1368
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 1: Lawrence stepping up. Lawrence throwing downfield and knocked away by

1369
01:03:56,560 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Desmond King, intended for Za Jones. King had a left

1370
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 1: hand extended and knocked the ball down. Second and ten

1371
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 1: thirty six seconds to go. Then it was Derek Stingley's

1372
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to get his hands on a throw. Lawrence looked

1373
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: over to his right, defense left and two four were

1374
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: standing over there. And those two played against each other

1375
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: before in the CFP National Championship game between nineteen where

1376
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Stingley and the LSU Tigers came out on top. Stingley

1377
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: was gonna come out on top. Yet again. This is

1378
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 1: six B on the final drive where Stingley comes up

1379
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: with another pass breakup first down, Jaguars front there twenty

1380
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: four three receivers left, one back. Lawrence has to let

1381
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: it rip. Lawrence stepping up and firing downfield, tipped and

1382
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: incumplete Stingley got a hand on it. Sting was all

1383
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: over the play. Schmit ear a play that he made

1384
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: a little earlier in the game later in the show,

1385
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: but right now. That comes up big on the final drive,

1386
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: and then it culminated with a potential Harold Marry attempt.

1387
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Jacks just wanted to have his shot to throw it

1388
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: for the end zone. Well, pass rush got to him.

1389
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: Trevor was in trouble, as you hear Mark say, and

1390
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: then he floated one in two five. Desmond King went

1391
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 1: and found that football to end this game and at

1392
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: six s the last play of the game, the last

1393
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: play of a tremendous drive and performance by the defense

1394
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: in the second half. Here's the final play of the game.

1395
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 1: Three seconds to go. Jack's having at their forty seven,

1396
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 1: Lawrence and the gun. Lawrence scrambling around. He's in trouble

1397
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: trying to back up and launch the hail Mary steps

1398
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: out to the right. Lawrence heeds it. It's gonna be

1399
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: well short, and it's picked off. Texans having at the

1400
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: twenty king across the thirty the forty right side, and

1401
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: he runs in the bounds at the forty four yard line.

1402
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: The game is over. The Texans win their first of

1403
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, defeating Jackson to allow the road thirteen six.

1404
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: Oh man, can I tell you what that was like

1405
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: to hear Mark Vanimers say those words in my ears

1406
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: and yours? Texans win thirteen six. It had been a while,

1407
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty seven days since getting a win. Now,

1408
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: there were four field goals in this game and one touchdown.

1409
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: Not typically when I do it also been eleven. The

1410
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: touchdown ends up being number one, number two, Especially in

1411
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 1: a game when there's only one touchdown, it usually is

1412
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: number one. Right, Well, the guy who's at number one

1413
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: is at number five, and it's the only touchdown of

1414
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: the game. And I don't want to take away from

1415
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 1: a one yard run when you defense is completely stacked

1416
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: against you. But offensive line created a little bit of

1417
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: a scene. Damian Pierce found a hole from one yard out.

1418
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: But man, this was nerve racking after the run. Just

1419
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: prior to this one, Doug Peterson had challenge whether Damian

1420
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: Pierce was down on the ground on a review, and

1421
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: thankfully he did because they would have had an extra

1422
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: time out at the end of the game to use.

1423
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: But he was down, so on seconding goal, David Smills

1424
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: handed to Damian and Pierce yet again, touchdown. Texans take

1425
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: the lead. Texans tight lead. Punched second and goal inside

1426
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: the one. Pierce the lone back Mills other center. Now

1427
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: Harriston in the backfield offset, I handoff Pierce to the

1428
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: goal line. He's in the text sends take the lead

1429
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: a one yard touchdown run by Damian Pierce. Welcome back

1430
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: to Gator Country. Oh yeah, Dowell County is definitely Gator Country. Now,

1431
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 1: there are a few knowals that fight for their lives

1432
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 1: in that town, but it's it's Gator Country for sure.

1433
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 1: It's about an hour and I don't know, it's an

1434
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 1: hour fifteen on a good day, probably hour and forty

1435
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: five on a bad day, and probably about two hours

1436
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:37,919
Speaker 1: and fifteen on game day in a minute trip. Many

1437
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 1: many times game at eight o'clock, you better be leaving

1438
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: in the morning early. If you want to get there

1439
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: in tailgate, which Gator fans know how to do. But

1440
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: this is about the Jaguars and the Texans beating the

1441
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars thirteen to six. That touchdown was the difference right

1442
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: there by Damian Pierce. Now, how did we get there that?

1443
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:58,959
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked, because we go to number four

1444
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: and it was a down on that drive is third

1445
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: and two, And let me tell a straighter on this.

1446
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: I did keep play breakdown on this play. But the

1447
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: Jaguars anticipated Damian Pierce getting the ball, especially when Davis

1448
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 1: Mills lined up in the pistol, which is a little

1449
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: shorter shotgun, right, So he lined up in the pistol

1450
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 1: with Damian behind him. So they brought up Blitz thinking

1451
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 1: we'll run right, We'll run this blitz right into where

1452
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna run the ball. We'll shut him now with

1453
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: the ball back. But that put the secondary in one

1454
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: on one coverage, and that at Nico Collins against Tyson Campbell,

1455
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: and Nico was about to burn the best way of saying,

1456
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell and then at the end of it he

1457
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: lost him. Nicoga does a great job getting down the field.

1458
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: Single safety in the middle of the field down the sideline,

1459
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 1: got no help over the top, and Davis was able

1460
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: to get just enough on it with a rusher coming

1461
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: at him, and he was able to go up. Nico

1462
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 1: was and get this ball. And it comes in at

1463
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: number four. Man, what a conversion. This wasn't third and two.

1464
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm third and two. Mills takes the snap, Mills throw

1465
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: his left sideline and Nico trying for the catch. There's

1466
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: a fight four. Nico has it at the forty two.

1467
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 1: There's a flag down and it's a first down for

1468
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: the Texans. Rule the catch. Let's see what the marker

1469
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 1: is about. First down at the forty two yard line

1470
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: of the Jags. It's a twenty four yard pickup if

1471
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 1: it holds, and it would definitely hold. Twenty four yard

1472
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 1: catch by Nico every angle you saw. And I was

1473
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:26,879
Speaker 1: standing behind the play right near a lot of scrimmage,

1474
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: so I'm peeking on the sidelines and I'm like, yeah,

1475
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:32,680
Speaker 1: he caught that thing. I mean, it's just incredible, unbelievable

1476
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: catch by Niko Collins. And that comes in number four

1477
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 1: in part because I'm kind of going in order here now.

1478
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: After the Treyvon Locker incident, the Texans were facing a

1479
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: third twenty. He goes offside, then he slams Davis Mills

1480
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 1: to the ground. That gave the Texas twenty yards. They

1481
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: then move the ball a little bit further to point

1482
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: where third and five, but the Texans had a false

1483
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 1: start that moved them back the third and ten. Oh boy,

1484
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 1: Now this play they had actually run earlier in the game,

1485
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: and I remember it distinctly because Andrea Ware was talking

1486
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: about the type of throw that Davis Mills throughout the

1487
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:07,560
Speaker 1: Oj Howard and the two of them kind of misconnected,

1488
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: disconnected on that play. On this one, though Jorde Nakins

1489
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 1: was in the slot, he was the number three receivers,

1490
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: he kind of outside in the number one, number two,

1491
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 1: number three, so he had Brandy Cooks number one, Tyler

1492
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:24,759
Speaker 1: Johns number two, and those two ran hard inside the corner.

1493
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: She kill. Griffin went hard with Brandy Cooks, so when

1494
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: when Jordan Nakins went out to the flat, he kind

1495
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:33,759
Speaker 1: of ran like a little out and up. That should

1496
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 1: have been where Griffin was, but he stayed with those

1497
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 1: two receivers inside too long. Davis Able with a rusher

1498
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 1: right in his face, he was able to spit it

1499
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: out there to Jordan Nakins a kids makes the catch

1500
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 1: and then dole for the first down, and he got it,

1501
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:54,879
Speaker 1: and he comes in number three, third down at eleven

1502
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: from the thirty nine yard line, just inside it as

1503
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: the officials stopped things for a moment. Now Mills with

1504
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: no backs on third and eleven across the Jacksonville thirty

1505
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: nine yard line. Three receivers right, two to the outside.

1506
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,600
Speaker 1: Davis gets the snap, Davis looking, Davis throwing to the

1507
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 1: right sideline, hits Akens reaching for the marker right sideline

1508
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: that jack say no, The officials say, one says yes

1509
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: and the other talking, and they're discussing, and it's a

1510
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 1: catch and it's good for a first down. I thought,

1511
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 1: twenty eight yard line. Akens with a nice move up

1512
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: the sideline after snaring that pass from Mills. Now one

1513
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:37,759
Speaker 1: of the things I pointed out during the game, because

1514
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson did have the red challenge flag in his hand,

1515
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: I thought, of anybody that shouldn't throw that challenge flag,

1516
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 1: it would be Doug Peterson. Because the play was very

1517
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 1: similar to Zach Ertz's game winning or game clinching touchdown

1518
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: against the Patriots in the Super Bowl. The twenty seventeen

1519
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: year that the Eels won a Super Bowl, Nick Foles

1520
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 1: hit Urts on a slant. ERTs caught it, took two

1521
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: steps and dove and when he did, the ball hit

1522
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: the ground. They reviewed it and upon review they said, yeah,

1523
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 1: he had the ball clearly when he hit the ground.

1524
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: He was a runner at that point. That was what

1525
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 1: Jorge Nakins was after he caught that ball. So there

1526
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:14,599
Speaker 1: was a little bit of controversy to fans, was like, oh,

1527
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 1: the ball came out, but he had already established himself

1528
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: as not a pass catcher anymore. He was now a receiver.

1529
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 1: He was now a runner because the ball was clearly

1530
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: in his hands. So when he dove and the ball

1531
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: came out, that he had already completed the process of

1532
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 1: the catch. So if anybody's gonna know that, it was

1533
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson. And so he didn't throw the challenge flag.

1534
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: Now he went a little bit earlier on the play,

1535
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 1: right before our number one play, but he probably would

1536
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 1: liked to have had a review on this one and

1537
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,320
Speaker 1: had this one back at number two. Number two to

1538
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: me wanted two. I mean, you're not gonna find a

1539
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 1: number one better than Damian Pierce's run. Let's just be

1540
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,560
Speaker 1: honest about that. But number two is hugely important for

1541
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: a number of reasons. Jaguars are driving. Got the ball

1542
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: to Texans seven yard line, second and one. The Jaguars

1543
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:05,639
Speaker 1: have everything available, get the first down, you'll be inside

1544
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 1: the five and everything's you know, the world's your oyster.

1545
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 1: It's at least three, game six six, It's at least three.

1546
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: So I take you back a week prior, Austin Eckler.

1547
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: Whenever I say in the the name Austin Akler from now on,

1548
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: Texas fans are gonna be like, oh my god, remember

1549
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: that play the Chargers ran. Well, guess who also has

1550
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: that play in their arsenal, the Jacksonville Jaguars. And the

1551
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: Jaguars pulled it out earlier in the game and Trevor

1552
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 1: Lawrence hit Travisy Tan in the flat. Ended up being

1553
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 1: a big game, like, man, can they stop this play?

1554
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 1: And it's not an easy play to stop. Now. I

1555
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: don't recall what coverage the Texas were on that play,

1556
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 1: but I know against the Chargers they were in man coverage.

1557
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: So second and one, the Jaguars wanted to run that

1558
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: same play, Well this time, Lovey Smith called a zone coverage.

1559
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: And that's important because Jalen Petrie does a whale of

1560
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 1: a job getting out to the flat to take away

1561
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 1: James Robinson. So that forced Trevor Lawrence to hold onto

1562
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: the football, and when he held on the football too long,

1563
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 1: he tried to hit the guy in the back end zone.

1564
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:12,640
Speaker 1: And who was there? Rookie Derek Stingley. The first interception

1565
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 1: of his career. Could not have come at a bigger time.

1566
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:19,560
Speaker 1: And number two, it's Derek Stingley's first interception, halting a

1567
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 1: Jaguars scoring drive. Lovey Smith wanted the takeaway now would

1568
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 1: be a really good time. James Robinson of the game,

1569
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 1: trying to tender rise things. Perhaps he's in the backfield

1570
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,759
Speaker 1: behind Lawrence. Will take the snap from center on second

1571
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 1: down and a yard from the seven. Lawrence fakes the gift,

1572
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,680
Speaker 1: steps to his right. Lawrence looking throwing back of the

1573
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: end zone, picked off by Stingley. He brings it out

1574
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: of the end zone though, and he's down at the

1575
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:50,560
Speaker 1: one yard line. Should have taken a knee. Stingley with

1576
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 1: the pick, the first of his career. So here we

1577
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: are number one, and is there any question about what

1578
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: number one is? Going to be. It's arguably the most physical,

1579
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 1: the best, the longest, the most incredible, the most watched.

1580
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 1: It's the most everything run we have seen buy Texan

1581
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 1: running back in I don't know how long. He just

1582
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 1: kept breaking tackles. And at some point when he threw

1583
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell off of him and Mark is making a call,

1584
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: I screamed in his ears, He's gonna score. And I

1585
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: think I was just so shocked, but I shouldn't have been,

1586
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 1: because I've seen Damian Pierce do this. We've all seen him.

1587
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,599
Speaker 1: We saw the highlights at Florida, watched him out how

1588
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 1: many times as a Gator, and I always wondered why

1589
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:38,600
Speaker 1: the Gators didn't use him. I don't know why, but

1590
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 1: the Texans are using him, and on this play, I mean,

1591
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,639
Speaker 1: there's just nothing more to say. Damian Pierce twenty yard

1592
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: ankle taking soult snatching Houston defining tackle breaking run right here,

1593
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:54,679
Speaker 1: second and five from the twenty two ap Pierce again

1594
01:15:55,640 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 1: over the mantle, twenty breaks a tackle, fifteen ten yang

1595
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 1: tackle inside the five? Does he stay at his feet?

1596
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: He does? Down of the two yard line. What a

1597
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: run by Damian Pierce. Got out of trouble again and

1598
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:12,480
Speaker 1: again until Cisco brings him down first in Goal Texans,

1599
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 1: you could hear Andre pounding the table in the middle

1600
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 1: of Mark's call. I mean you could hear him. He's

1601
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,080
Speaker 1: getting so excited. We're all getting so excited. I'm screaming,

1602
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 1: He's good. Score. We were all feeling it at that point,

1603
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: and Damian Pierce was as well. Two plays later he

1604
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 1: scored to give the Texans a thirteen to six win.

1605
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 1: And my goodness, that was an ultimate eleven. That was

1606
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: really really fun to do. Yes it was, Yes, it was.

1607
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: Now this week we don't have a game, so we'll

1608
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: find some fun things to do on Texas Matchup. But

1609
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:44,719
Speaker 1: hopefully you like that. Look back at the ultimate eleven

1610
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,560
Speaker 1: place slash moments of the win over Jacksonville. Now, a

1611
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: guy that was instrumental in that in that run as

1612
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: well for Damian Pierce was center Scott Quezenberry. Have a

1613
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: little deep slant, was Scotty Hugh. Next. Right here at

1614
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 1: Texas All Access, we all to find a segment of

1615
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: this mission of Texas All Access from the Honday Texans

1616
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 1: Radio studio. I am John Harris, your host. It's time

1617
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: for a little deep slant. When a guy that has

1618
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 1: stepped in. He's the third Quisenberry to come to Houston.

1619
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 1: He's starting center for the Texans right now that Scott Quisenberry.

1620
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,559
Speaker 1: I was the first to meet Scott actually be interviewed

1621
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 1: him back to the Senior Bowl when he was coming

1622
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: out of UCLA And at that time, we had David

1623
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: with us and loved David, always have loved David and

1624
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 1: I the success he has had in his life. I'm

1625
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 1: so proud of David Quisenberry. This brother, Scott Quisenberry has

1626
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: done a lot for this organization. He sat down with

1627
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: Deep City for another Deep Slant interview. Deep Take it Away.

1628
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 1: How does your five feel for you so far? Good?

1629
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 1: Definitely a little different. Wasn't what you know, we kind

1630
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: of anticipated going in, but you know, we're making it

1631
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 1: work and we're getting better every week. Yeah, you did

1632
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: not know that you're gonna be the center when you

1633
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 1: signed here this offseason, so a lot of things changed.

1634
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: But how much did just playing in the preseason help

1635
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 1: even though you weren't with the same starting five that

1636
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: you're with now. Yeah, Well you always plan to be

1637
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: the starter really well, at least that's what I kind

1638
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 1: of feel. Always prepare like that, and when your numbers called,

1639
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: just make sure that your teammates trust you and believe

1640
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 1: in you and have that respect for you. And no,

1641
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: now building the chemistry with the guys. Obviously, I played

1642
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:15,639
Speaker 1: with Titus and AJ quite a bit in the preseason,

1643
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: so I was pretty good. But you know, K miss

1644
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: and time with injury, and then LT miss and time

1645
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 1: in the games because you know, just protecting him because

1646
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 1: he's just a stud and learning, helping them to come

1647
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: along and kind of grow. This whole thing hasn't been

1648
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: too challenging. You know, they listen, and you know, they

1649
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 1: trust my communication skills and they trust me to help

1650
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 1: them get into the right place, and then they just

1651
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: handle the rest. All right. You speak of communication skills.

1652
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: The one thing that I've heard from you from I

1653
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: think Laramie mentioned it. Aj Can mentioned it that you

1654
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 1: communicate really well. You're a great communicators sometimes maybe even

1655
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 1: an overcommunicator. Yeah, well, I mean is that a good

1656
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 1: I would imagine that a thing in your position, No doubt,

1657
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 1: you'd rather you know, over communicate the under communicate. So

1658
01:18:57,960 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 1: I just you know, I just do my best to

1659
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:01,799
Speaker 1: make sure that you know, we're all on the same page,

1660
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 1: and if we're all on the same page and it's

1661
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 1: the wrong page, you can kind of get stuff done.

1662
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:07,679
Speaker 1: That way. You can get away with it a little

1663
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: bit of times, but obviously the objective is to get

1664
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 1: everybody on the right page all the time. Is he

1665
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 1: over communication? Maybe because those guys are veterans and they

1666
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: kind of know what's happening and you need to do that.

1667
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 1: For some of the younger guys on the line, like

1668
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 1: say Kenyon, I'm you know, I don't know. I kind

1669
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 1: of treat it as if it was the same. You know,

1670
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 1: if I had the four greatest offensive linemen playing around me,

1671
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 1: I'd probably still help being overcommunicating. It's just kind of

1672
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 1: in my nature and like I said, just trying to

1673
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: get everybody on the same page all the time. The

1674
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 1: one thing I've heard about this system with Pep Hamilton

1675
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 1: is that there is a lot more communication expected of

1676
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: the center. How does it feel for you? I know

1677
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 1: you and Pep were together with the Chargers, he had

1678
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 1: a different role, but coming here to the Texans, is

1679
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,719
Speaker 1: it different from how you've played center in your career prior? Yes, Well,

1680
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,679
Speaker 1: so my first three seasons are two seasons in the NFL.

1681
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 1: I had the benefit of being with Philip Rivers who

1682
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,680
Speaker 1: kind of just handled everything. And then when I was

1683
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 1: with the Chargers, we drive to Justin, and Justin is

1684
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 1: a very you know, he wants to be great and

1685
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: do all that stuff, but it was a lot put

1686
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 1: on his plate really early. And so with Pet coming in,

1687
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: it kind of transformed in the center and the quarterback

1688
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 1: worked way together, way more than it ever had in

1689
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,600
Speaker 1: the past. So I knew that coming here that it

1690
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 1: was going to kind of be the same way with

1691
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: Davis being a young quarterback still learning and you know,

1692
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 1: us putting in the time and being able to take

1693
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,640
Speaker 1: stuff off of his plate. Yeah, as soon as you

1694
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:29,639
Speaker 1: found out that you were the starter, how does that work?

1695
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: Then you need to immediately start getting more reps with Davis.

1696
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: Do you work extra with him? How do you guys

1697
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 1: get on the same page. Is it already in place?

1698
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: As far as like the snap, you know, the center

1699
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: quarterback has changed, There wasn't really any big adjustment there

1700
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,639
Speaker 1: because we had done so much in the training camp

1701
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 1: in the preseason, and then as far as just communicating,

1702
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 1: Davis trusts me to make the right call. At the

1703
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:52,600
Speaker 1: beginning of the play, and if he has to do

1704
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: something within the framework of the play, you know, we

1705
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 1: all trust him. So there hasn't really been much of

1706
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: a crazy transition period. It's been pretty smooth, I would say.

1707
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 1: And you know, like I said, we're just getting better

1708
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 1: every week. Are you an over communicator off the field

1709
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: as well? Something that you're like off the field? No? Yes,

1710
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: if you ask my wife, I'm not a good communicator,

1711
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 1: so I really yeah. So I guess just when it

1712
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 1: comes to, you know, my career and my job, I

1713
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: guess I am. And you know I'm working on that

1714
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 1: at home for sure. She must be really surprised. And

1715
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:32,840
Speaker 1: when she hears all these comments about you being an overcommunicator,

1716
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 1: well I don't think so, because she knows how much

1717
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: time I put in and how important it is to me.

1718
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:41,240
Speaker 1: So not saying that she's not. But that's really funny.

1719
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,040
Speaker 1: I thought you'd be. You'd go home and you'd give

1720
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 1: like a play by play of dinner and like what

1721
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: you're doing now and what everyone needs to do next.

1722
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: I really wanted to picture you like that in you No,

1723
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: not really, Oh disappointing. Sorry, all right, So you grow

1724
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 1: up in La You went to UCLA, you play for

1725
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,680
Speaker 1: the Chargers and you moved to Texas. What's Texas been like?

1726
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:01,720
Speaker 1: I love Texas. It's been awesome. Yeah. The food in

1727
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: Houston's great, The people in Houston are great. You know.

1728
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,479
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed my time here. The weather has definitely been

1729
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 1: an adjustment. It's definitely hot, but not California down here.

1730
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 1: No it's not. But it felt nice out there today.

1731
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 1: So but for the most part, all in all, two

1732
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 1: thumbs up up. Well, we know your brothers really will

1733
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: David I covered him when he was a rookie. Then

1734
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 1: Paul was here last year, so it only is fitting

1735
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: that we've got you here. And so since we know

1736
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 1: and the fans know the three brothers as well, I

1737
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 1: had a few questions just to get to know the

1738
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: three of you better collectively. All right, First of all,

1739
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: you're the youngest, right for three? Okay, So out of

1740
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 1: the three of you, David, Paul and yourself included, who

1741
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: is the funniest me? Really? Are you just saying that

1742
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 1: because you're biased? No, it's me, It's true. Okay. Who's

1743
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 1: the most competitive? Me? I can see which way this

1744
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 1: is going, all right, who's the mama's boy me? Really?

1745
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: Is it because you're the youngest. Well, when I was

1746
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 1: young me, not as much me anymore? Who is it now?

1747
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 1: I played the fifth But when I when we were younger,

1748
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 1: it was me for sure. Okay, best all around high

1749
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 1: school athlete. Me. What other sports did you play? It's

1750
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: me or David. David was football and lacrosse, and then

1751
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: I was football, basketball, track and field. But I mean, like,

1752
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 1: if we're really talking about it, it's me. I did football,

1753
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: I did basketball, I set the school record and shot

1754
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 1: put not too my own horn, but I did. You did.

1755
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 1: I also did the high jump, which a lot of

1756
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:37,640
Speaker 1: people don't know. Okay, I was okay, I jumped five ten,

1757
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: which is pretty good. That's great to seventy so um

1758
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 1: overall at high school. I'm gonna go with me that

1759
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm so impressed that you did the high jump. Usually

1760
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: got offensive lineman, defensive linemen. They're like, shot put, Yeah,

1761
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:50,840
Speaker 1: I did do shot put. I said the school record.

1762
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. I was just kind of messing around at

1763
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: practice one day and then our coach was like, you know,

1764
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,520
Speaker 1: you could get us points and I was like, okay,

1765
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: so I started doing it all right. I think you

1766
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: should lobby to be like a receiver or something out

1767
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 1: there with this vertical again, not anymore, but you know

1768
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:07,479
Speaker 1: before a goal line package out to be all over it,

1769
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:11,600
Speaker 1: but not anymore. All right, who is the best cook? Me?

1770
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 1: What do you make? What's your signature? Dish um love?

1771
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:17,680
Speaker 1: He's coming over for dinner? What are you making? I

1772
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 1: do make a really good like Mediterranean chicken sandwich with

1773
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: like so the chickens marinated and then like bell peppers,

1774
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: and then I put the goat cheese in the oven

1775
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:30,480
Speaker 1: and broil it untill it's all golden brown with tomatoes.

1776
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 1: I love Mediterranean food, my favorite, but that's probably my

1777
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 1: go to. We're actually having them tonight. Okay, worst cook,

1778
