1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, Welcome to the program. It's another big show

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: with the Texans taking out the New England Patriots on Sunday,

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: trying to get to five and one, that would tie

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: them for their best start ever through six games. In

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: order to accomplish that, they have to beat the Patriots

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: at Gillette Stadium.

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: They have never won there. So let's go.

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: We've got the General coming on in about twenty five

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: to thirty minutes, John McClain. We'll talk about all the

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: games around the league, but especially the Texans at the

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: New England Patriots.

12
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: But let's start the show right here.

13
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: Because Jerrod Johnson, quarterbacks coach of your Houston Texans, stepped

14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: off the practice field and John Harris and I visited

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: with him.

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: How's it going, Torod?

17
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: Going good? Going good?

18
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 4: Just finished a long Thursday practice, but going good.

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 5: Okay, it feels like that's happened a little bit more.

20
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 5: We've talked about that.

21
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 6: We got to look around and go, man, that's kind

22
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 6: of long Thursday practice? Is that is that kind of

23
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 6: a Demico thing that he likes to have, those tough,

24
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 6: padded practices, especially this time of the year.

25
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 4: Just one of the those things that you know, you got,

26
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 4: you got to get the plays in, you know, I

27
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 4: think for us it's a big third down day. So

28
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 4: it's I mean that's the most challenging looks, whether it's

29
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 4: the defense and they're and their packages where offensively the

30
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 4: things we're gonna see, you know, I think defensive coordinators

31
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 4: are getting way, they're getting more creative as time goes on,

32
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 4: and they're putting more personnel packages, and so for us,

33
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 4: you got to practice as many looks as you can.

34
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: So it just takes what it takes.

35
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: What about the adjustment for CJ and company to get

36
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: the job done on third down last week? But Nico

37
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: leaves the game Because I'm no expert, but I was

38
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: thinking he was part of the game plan the rest

39
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: of the way, and all of a sudden he's not.

40
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: So you have to adapt.

41
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think the testament to the guys,

42
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 4: you know, of course CJ. I think CJ operated really

43
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 4: really well. I think the receivers did a really good

44
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: job of getting to their spots and getting open. Offensive

45
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 4: line did a really good job of protection, you know.

46
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 4: So it's one of those things to where of course,

47
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 4: I mean Nico is I mean, he's a special player.

48
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 4: He's a special talent, he's having a special year, so

49
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: to lose him is huge, you know, So I don't

50
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: want to understate that, but at the end of the day,

51
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 4: you know, that's just part of the NFL is. You know,

52
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 4: it's a cliche to say next man up mentality, but

53
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: I mean, we're We're the Texans, and we're going to

54
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: be at the end of the day, our success is

55
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: going to be the sum of our parts, not by

56
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 4: any individual. And so with that mindset, you know, the

57
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 4: guys stepped up and guys like Xavier Hutchinson hop right

58
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 4: on in had a big third down catch and kept

59
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: it moving.

60
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 6: Coach, you said something that kind of triggered You talked

61
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 6: about how creative defenses are getting on third down. And

62
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 6: I don't know if this is an easily answerable question,

63
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 6: but I'm kind of going.

64
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 7: Somewhere with this.

65
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 6: Where's that creativity coming from our NFL teams looking at

66
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 6: what colleges might be doing and incorporating some of that.

67
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 6: Are they looking at other NFL teams going hey, that works, let's.

68
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 5: Use it, Let's kind of steal it from them.

69
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 6: How where's the creativity coming from that You're seeing the

70
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 6: most of it they bringing it from college or they

71
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 6: getting it from other NFL teams.

72
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 4: I mean, I would say it's from other NFL teams.

73
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: Of course.

74
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 4: I think football does grow from the bottom up. As

75
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: a former high school coach, I think some of the

76
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 4: things you fall into out of necessity as a high

77
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 4: school coach, those things start to rise up the ranks

78
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 4: as they go. But I think it just comes down

79
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: to the personality of the coordinator. You know, when I

80
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 4: say creative, some people like to go with personnels, but

81
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 4: just throwing them looking at it like a basketball team,

82
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 4: and for every situation, I want the best eleven defensively

83
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: out there to create where that's a bunch of dbs

84
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 4: mixing in a bunch of bigs like you know, three

85
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 4: safeties like or it's this group's going to stay out here,

86
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: but we're gonna run seven different coverages and look like

87
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 4: one thing and get to another thing or there's So

88
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: when I say create creativity, it's really just the personality

89
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 4: of the coordinator. Does he want to make it creative

90
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 4: with the people he puts out there, the schemes he

91
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: puts out there, the pressure package he puts out there.

92
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: Dropping eight is a whole other way of being creative

93
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 4: of where now we're gonna have guys just sitting floating

94
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: with vision the Fangao schemes. So there's just a lot

95
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 4: that you the defensive coordinators are doing, and I think,

96
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: you know, his offensive guys, we got to try to

97
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: stay on the cutting edge of that and you know,

98
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 4: try to find a win and move the ball.

99
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks coach Gerard Johnson with us, it looks like CJ

100
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: is getting even better at moving around within the pocket,

101
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: trying to find some time to throw and space to throw.

102
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: What about that part of his game. Yeah, I mean

103
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: it's something that he takes.

104
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 4: You know, he put a lot of effort into that

105
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: this offseason on just ways to command the pocket and

106
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 4: just you know, he's study a lot of tape.

107
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: I mean, y'all talk to CJ.

108
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 7: Man.

109
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: He watched a lot of tape, and I think he's

110
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 4: very aware of the different ways defenses have tried to

111
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 4: attack him, and so he just wants to make his

112
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: game to where, you know, whatever we're facing that week,

113
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 4: he kind of has the answers, whether it's to sit

114
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 4: in the pocket and get the ball out quick, where

115
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 4: he has to buy time within the pocket, or he

116
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 4: has to make plays outside the pocket. You know, he

117
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 4: works every single day to try to, you know, sharpen

118
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: his game to whear whatever it takes for us to win.

119
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: He can find a way to get that done.

120
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 6: Drive their play challenges are going up to take on

121
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 6: a Patriots for that defense. They got some dudes that

122
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 6: move around and talk to both Nick and Namiko and

123
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 6: they talk about some of the hybrid pieces kind of

124
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 6: the positionless players in some sense, what are kind of

125
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 6: some of the struggles and issues that you guys might

126
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 6: have to overcome against this defense.

127
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 4: I think they're just they're a smart bunch and they're

128
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 4: very aware of each other. And I say that where

129
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: you can tell that every all the levels of the defense,

130
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: the d line, the linebacker's defensive backs are aware of

131
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 4: what the other one's responsibilities are. So when they play

132
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 4: their man coverage, they're very aware of where the help

133
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: is coming from. Right, so I'm gonna be outside leverge

134
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 4: because I know on this scheme the linebacker has my

135
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 4: back on the inside or on the inside level because

136
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 4: I know the safety is on the outside, or a

137
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 4: defensive linement is very aware that you know, third down

138
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: we're trying to throw the ball the running back, they

139
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 4: may stop their rush and hit the running back because

140
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 4: he knows that makes it easier to cover for the linebackers.

141
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: So just watching them on tape, man, they're I mean,

142
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 4: drods Ande a heck of a job. They're a sound defense,

143
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 4: they're smart, and they play true team defense by helping

144
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: each other out every play, and so we just got

145
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: to match that and find a way to have some offense.

146
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: Dron, how hard is it for a non starter to

147
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: get better at quarterback during the course of a season

148
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: when you're doing a lot of scout, team, look, team,

149
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: whatever the case is, Davis, I'm sure he gets some

150
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: first team reps, but CJ's going to get the bulk

151
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: of them and Keaton as well as on the practice squad.

152
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of those things.

153
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 4: I think that's one of the hardest things in sports

154
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: is you know, you can't simulate playing quarterback, especially with

155
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 4: the thought of people hitting you in the game. Right

156
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 4: in practice, we don't get hit his quarterbacks, but the reps,

157
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: the speed, the timing, the operation, the huddle, all those

158
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: different things. You I mean, at the end of the day,

159
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: you can't simulate it without actual reps, which is why

160
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 4: CJ needs all the reps during the week to get

161
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 4: ready to prepare them for prepare himself for sun. But

162
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 4: for us, we try to have a plan to where

163
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 4: we try to find time with Keden and Davis to

164
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 4: give them extra snaps and try to put them in

165
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 4: situations to where you know they can we can try

166
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 4: to get as close as we can to that. Bill

167
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 4: Lazer does a really good job of taking the quarterbacks

168
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 4: in between periods and making sure if they're going to the

169
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 4: scout team, which every one is not in, it's also

170
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 4: getting our reps that we're getting that day so they

171
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 4: can stay sharp. And I try to spend time with

172
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 4: Keid when I can in the midst of game planning

173
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 4: to try to catch him up to speed as well,

174
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: because the end of the day, if the guys are here,

175
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 4: it's our job to coach him. And ideally, you know,

176
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 4: those guys stay, stay ready to roll and hopefully I

177
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,119
Speaker 4: mean and if an opportunity presents itself, that's where they play.

178
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 4: You know, ideally, you know they're they're ready to at

179
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 4: least get us, you know, you know, trying to go

180
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 4: win us a football game.

181
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 7: Coach.

182
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 6: I don't know if last time we asked you about

183
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 6: about Keaton Keaton Slovas usc b y. You pit a

184
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 6: lot of different places where he's been, and then he

185
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 6: comes here. I don't know if we had a chance

186
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 6: to talk to you about him, and I don't know

187
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 6: that we'll get a chance to see him on the

188
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 6: field this year.

189
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 4: But what can you tell us about Keaton Slovas man.

190
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 4: He's he's been a joy to work with. You know,

191
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: I knew his name because he was extreme. He was

192
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 4: highly recruited out of high school. He's one of the

193
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 4: top quarterbacks in the country. He went to USC College

194
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 4: and so you know, for me with my experience with

195
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 4: high school, you know, knowing his name, and there's a

196
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: baseline talent there, you don't get rate at that high

197
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: you don't at least have a baseline talent there. And

198
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 4: then you know, I kind of followed his career when

199
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: I interviewed him during the combine process of very very briefly,

200
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: you know, and just kind of he's been. He's been

201
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: a bunch of places. You know, he's he's mature for

202
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 4: a college kids coming out. He's played at pitt Rafter

203
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: Kenny Picketts, where they played a pro style system. He

204
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: played in the run and shoot with Graham Harrell at

205
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: USC and it ultimately ended up playing at BYU, who

206
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 4: sent out you know, Zach Wilson and Jaron Hall.

207
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: And so he's played a lot of football.

208
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 4: He's mature, and my biggest thing is, you know, he's

209
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 4: got some juice, you know, like the ball jumps off

210
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 4: his hand.

211
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: He's athletic. You know, he's a confident kid.

212
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 4: And so you know, I kind of kept my eye

213
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: out around the league and and really and truly just

214
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 4: he had I thought he had a pretty productive preseason

215
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: to where at the end of the day, you want

216
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 4: guys coming there who coming in here to our building

217
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 4: who have the ability to potentially, you know, win some

218
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 4: games for you. And I think he's got just as

219
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: good a chance as any of the quarterbacks in the league.

220
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: To Rod Johnson, with US coaches quarterbacks for the Texans,

221
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: your game day role, how has it changed what he

222
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: doing these days?

223
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean my job is to really just whatever

224
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: CJ needs from me, whether that's you know, what I'm

225
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: seeing on the field, you know what we got coming

226
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 4: up from a play call standpoint, and so it's to

227
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 4: help CJ. To help Bobby just kind of facilitate, you know,

228
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 4: you know, Bobby's Bobby's calling the plays, and Bobby's doing

229
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 4: a heck of a job with that, and so whatever

230
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: I can do to help him, you know, in those sense,

231
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: from what I'm seeing, at the end of the day,

232
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: I think my biggest thing is just making sure whatever

233
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: CJ needs from me, I can be a resource for

234
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 4: him in game, whether that's scheme, whether that's you know, motivation,

235
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: whether that's you know, letting him know the situation, whatever

236
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 4: that may be. I kind of see it as I'm

237
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: his caddy on game day and he goes out and

238
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 4: he makes the shots.

239
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 6: Okay, So I said this earlier back in nineteen eighty three,

240
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 6: I moved. I moved to Houston, and I just missed

241
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 6: the Eric Dickerson ear And I'm asking this because we

242
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 6: spoke with Eric Dickerson. But Dickerson was one of my

243
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 6: favorite players growing up college pro whatever.

244
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 5: I love college football.

245
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 6: You know that, who is your favorite college football player

246
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 6: when you were growing up?

247
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 4: Oh, you can give us a couple Yeah, to be

248
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 4: honest with you, it was it was well, I'll say

249
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 4: I got I got four, all right, One and two

250
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: is David Boston, David Gibbons. I think I've told that story,

251
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: you know, howse State, Notre Dame and all things they did.

252
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 4: But then, honestly, I came up my senior year of

253
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: high school. Was I was really was was Reggie McNeil

254
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 4: and Vince Young, you know. So that was kind of

255
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: my high school years to see those guys go to

256
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 4: the two bigges schools in the state and have success

257
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 4: and and and Vince although he went to Texas.

258
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: I want to hold that against him, you know.

259
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 4: Me and Vince gotten each other over the years for

260
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 4: our time, spend a short time together with the Eagles, right,

261
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: but really and truly for him to be a kid

262
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 4: out of Houston and me being a high school coach's son.

263
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: I remember the Madison North for a game and the

264
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 4: astronome like so Vince Young and then Reggie McNeil at Lufkin,

265
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: you know, wearing number one, going to A and M

266
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: and watching him play. Though those guys were who I

267
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 4: aspire to be like when I got to college.

268
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: All right, I've got one more for you. Your favorite non

269
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: NFL stop as a player, Hartford Colonels Arizona Rattlers, Montreal Aloettes.

270
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: I would say Montreal Aloett's.

271
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 4: You know, Montreal is a cool city, you know it

272
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 4: got it got. I got to experience some things up

273
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: there and really see another side of life, you know,

274
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: in a French speaking Yeah, uh city. You know, there's

275
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 4: still English as well, but there's a lot of French speaking.

276
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: I had to ride the subway, I had to go,

277
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 4: I had to I remember going to the grocery store.

278
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: I would take duffel bag because it was like a

279
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 4: maybe eight or nine ten block walk and like I said,

280
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 4: Sally downtown, Yeah, you weren't really driving around. But I

281
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: just really enjoyed my time there. You know, I appreciate

282
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 4: the Canadian game. I have a whole of respect for

283
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 4: the CFL and how seriously those guys took it and

284
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: and you know the game of the CFL, you know,

285
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 4: so it just gave me more exposure to another way

286
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 4: to play football.

287
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: There's some schemes that they do up there in Canada.

288
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: That I got stashed away, But but I really enjoyed

289
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: my time in Montreal.

290
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: Dashed away got unailty. Coming from the sea probably compared

291
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: notes with Danny Barrett, right, oh.

292
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the time, dB dB z O g man.

293
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 4: He's so he's been been a lot of places with

294
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 4: a lot of wisdom.

295
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 6: So he he talks about playing dominoes with Andre Dude,

296
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 6: do you get involved that?

297
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 5: Do you play dominoes in?

298
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: I wish I was better at all those things. I'm not,

299
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: you know, I wish I was better at cards, domino's,

300
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 4: all those things.

301
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: I'm kind of a square on that.

302
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 4: On that tip, man, I wish I was better at

303
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 4: some of those things, but that's not really my thing.

304
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: You're going to be football.

305
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're good football. Maybe you go from Richard Rosenberg,

306
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 5: you'd be better at those things. But you know, we understand.

307
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, here we go.

308

Speaker 2: Ji, thanks a lot for joining us. Appreciate it, Johnny.

309
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if the listening audience likes it when

310
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: we talk about the CFL, but I do. So there's that,

311
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: and I'll just keep doing it because Danny Barrett, Andre

312
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: Ware Johnson. There have to be some others we can

313
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: continue to talk about. Hey, Christian Covington when he was here,

314
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: his dad is in the CFL Hall of Fame.

315
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: So how about that?

316
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right, not in Houston, but Cliff Kingsbury spent

317
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 6: some time playing in the CFL, and he's talked about

318
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 6: I've heard him talk about how the CFL impacted some

319
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 6: of his coaching plans and schemes, et cetera.

320
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: So as much Jaden Daniels his pupil these days as

321
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: he's in Washington.

322
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 6: I've watched a little bit. I haven't watched much. The

323
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 6: offense looks different.

324
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: Okay, thenbody was running in Arizona.

325
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, then what he was running in Arizona.

326
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 6: I don't know if that was because it was I

327
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 6: don't know Kyler Murray specific in Arizona.

328
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 5: But man, you're watching what Jaden Daniels is doing.

329
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 6: It looks nice. And you know who's also playing well

330
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 6: for them? And I like this because you mentioned Christian Covington. Yeah,

331
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 6: Rice awl Grad, Luke McCaffrey.

332
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: How about that. It's done a really nice job for them.

333
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: So you can quietly say, oh, that's pretty cool with

334
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels. Now, it's funny. It's the Eagle song. There's

335
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: a new kid in town, this Tuck on the street.

336
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: It sounds so familiar because we went through this last

337
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: year with CJ. Stroud waking up the entire league. I'm here,

338
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: I'm a rookie. I'm kicking everybody's button. And that's what

339
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels is doing. And it's okay. I think Stroud's

340
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: probably okay with it. I haven't talked to him about it,

341
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: but it's cool to see a young guy do what

342
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: he's doing because we have so many quarterbacks who flame

343
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: out spectacularly in some cases. To have jad and Daniels

344
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: work out so far as a nice thing, I absolutely agree,

345
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: I especially since he's not in our division or in

346
00:12:59,400 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: the AFC.

347
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: So cool.

348
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 5: That's right.

349
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 6: If Will Levis and Anthony Richardson flame out, so be it.

350
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trevor Lawrence struggles.

351
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 6: Although last week Trevor was really good against the Colts,

352
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 6: how about they struggle?

353
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: He did.

354
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 6: He bounced back in a big way, and I was

355
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 6: kind of happy to see it in a sense because

356
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 6: when you look at what this the Texans defense has done,

357
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 6: I mean, minus Sam Darnold. Know, Sam had some short

358
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 6: fields to throw on, but he also made some really

359
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 6: really nice throws and defense had some breakdowns in that game,

360
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 6: of course, but they you know, Richardson hit just deep

361
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 6: bombs and just you know, throwing it out of his

362
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 6: backside in some sense. But they really shut down Caleb Williams,

363
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 6: They shut down Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence struggled to get

364
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 6: anything he got. It's just been close victories because you've

365
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 6: made some mistakes along the way that we've talked about

366
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 6: that could have ended up could have made games that

367
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 6: were three and six and four points ten plus point victories.

368
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 6: And how are you looked at differently if you've got

369
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 6: instead of four wins of a single score, what if

370
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 6: you have three wins of like thirteen or more, which

371
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 6: you could have easily have had. Right, what if you've

372
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 6: got that, then maybe I think people look at you differently.

373
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 6: But you know what, right now you're looking at four

374
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 6: and one.

375
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 2: And so this is not the BCS. This is not right.

376
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: We don't have to worry about the selection committee. You

377
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: have the games in front of you that if you

378
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: do well in these games, everything will take care of itself.

379
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: The schedule is what it is now, as far as

380
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: taking care of itself goes with Robert Woods out of practice,

381
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: with Nico on ir what about the receiving crew. Hey,

382
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: you have a guy named Stefan Diggs. My goodness, how

383
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: handy is that because when they signed Digs, we thought

384
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: that's a luxury, right that is? I mean, really you

385
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: have extra icing on the cake and you know, stuff

386
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: inside of it and it's awesome, and ice cream on

387
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: top of it and nuts and whipped cream and all

388
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: of it. Stefan Diggs right now, my gosh, you are

389
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: one more injury away from what So it's great that

390
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: you have Digs with Woods probably out and Nico on ir.

391
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 6: This was my analogy for that. My analogy is, you know,

392
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 6: most families have two cars. Yeah, and so you've got this,

393
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 6: you know, whatever car you drive. I don't know, uh,

394
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 6: Hyundai Santa Fe. You got the Honda Santa Fe and

395
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 6: that's the reliable car. I man, you got this opportunity

396
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 6: to go get a Lamborghini. So you're gonna have two cars.

397
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 6: You're not gonna drive the Lamborghini much, just every now

398
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 6: and again, when you need it, you're gonna drive it.

399
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 6: But then all of a sudden, the Hunda has to

400
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 6: go in the shop and now you got to drive

401
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 6: the Lamborghini full time.

402
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 5: Oh whoe is me?

403
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 6: I gotta drive the Lamborghini full time. Well that's kind

404
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 6: of what it is. I thought he was Steph will

405
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 6: drive like a Lamborghini.

406
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: Nico's turning into a Lambo.

407
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 7: Yes he is.

408
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

409
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 5: It's kind of like having two Lambos.

410
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: That's that's how you thought the off season. Now you're thinking, yeah,

411
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: I know, thirteen hundred yards last year, that was no

412
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: fluke as I know, you know, because he is an

413
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: elite weapon, Nico Collins. But I like that they have

414
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: a whole week to get ready. Yes, without that, that's

415
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: the big key. Getting a little healthier. You know, last

416
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: week was his first game back. Let's just get even

417
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: healthier to be a big part of the game plan

418
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: this week. And who knows what the running back situation.

419
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: I kind of like the weapons they can bring to

420
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: the table in New England.

421
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, I'm with you and having time to prepare,

422
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 6: and you know, you and I were talking, actually I

423
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 6: was talking going off the field and I was already

424
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 6: thinking ahead to Green Bay and oh my dol else

425
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 6: said you were about to strangle me, which is right,

426
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 6: which is what you should have done. And it doesn't

427
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 6: mean I'm not looking forward to the Patriots at all.

428
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 6: I'm really curious how this offense does adjust. And I

429
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 6: remember Cja in training camp said you know five headed

430
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 6: monster all that kind of stuff, Well they still have

431
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 6: four heads if Joe is able to play, they still

432
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 6: got four heads of that monster. But then when other

433
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 6: guys that stepped up, you heard Demiko and Nick both

434
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 6: mentioned Xavier Hutchinson who had those back to back catches

435
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 6: on that drive that was huge for the Texans at

436
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 6: that particular point. Darria Goombuwallee has stepped up and been

437
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 6: such a massive part cam Akers with what Cam's brought

438
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 6: to this offense. So it's not as if the Texans

439
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 6: are lacking for weapons, it's just they don't have their

440
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 6: main number one weapon.

441
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: I love the checkdown or check across to Dara a goudbolance,

442
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: and I think Stroud not necessarily looking for it, but

443
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 1: knowing he has it and knowing how effective it is.

444
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: And what did we always wish Watson would do back

445
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: in the day, Not to make these comparisons, but take

446
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: the pot.

447
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 5: Take profit.

448
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you always said that, take whatever dollar amount you can.

449
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: It adds up over time, compounding interest in all of it.

450
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: We don't have to take this analogy any further. I

451
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: don't have to start talking about crypto.

452
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: Do I do?

453
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 5: I where's am? I better? We need Nick and CNBC?

454
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: Where's Nick? And squawk Box? But I think CJ likes

455
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: throwing the ball to Dari.

456
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 6: This is what I've I've I never played quarterback, but

457
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 6: this is what I've kind of learned and being around

458
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 6: especially the Texans as much as we have the last

459
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 6: eleven years, Quarterbacks love throwing the ball to the guys

460
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 6: they trust. Yeah, like, yeah, I'm going to you because

461
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 6: I trust you. Well, I'm only running a flat route.

462
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 6: I don't care you're going to catch the ball. It

463
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 6: was like throw it to Hopkins, you know. It was

464
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 6: like I'm third down, hop what route are you running?

465
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 6: While I'm running this route? Okay, Because I'm coming to you.

466
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 6: This ball is going to looking. And I think once

467
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 6: you've earned that quarterbacks trust, I think it's I love it.

468
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 6: I think it's magical in some sense that you have

469
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 6: the trust of the quarterback that he's going to throw

470
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 6: you the football in a key spot, in a tough spot.

471
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 6: He just looks in the huddle and goes, we can't

472
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 6: get anything done, I'm throwing this to you. That I

473
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 6: think is really really cool. And I think Dari's gotten

474
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 6: that point with CJ.

475
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: Talk me out of Drake May pulling at Jacoby Brissett

476
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: rookie debut twenty sixteen, Week three at Foxborough Thursday night.

477
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 2: We all know what happened.

478
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 6: Well, I think you don't have as complete a Patriots team.

479
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 7: Now.

480
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 6: The one thing the Patriots had in twenty sixteen that

481
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 6: they showed us is they had a really good offensive line.

482
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 6: This offensive line the Patriots have that they're trotting out there.

483
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 6: Nobody will recognize any of the names. Okay, nobody they're

484
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 6: trouting now, guys like, oh, you'll recognize this name, but

485
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 6: it's not the right guy.

486
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 5: Michael Jordan.

487
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll play.

488
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 5: You recognize the name, but it's not that guy.

489
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: I take the real Michael Jordan playing guard too.

490
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 6: Vederian Lowe, the Montrey Jacobs, Michael and Wayde who was

491
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 6: one of the better guards in the league. But that's

492
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 6: really the only name guy you have. I mean, offensive

493
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 6: line has has been in tatters. It's been tattered and

494
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 6: torn for so long to so many injuries. I mean,

495
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 6: losing David Andrews was huge for them.

496
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 3: So could you do it?

497
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

498
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 6: I just think in the trenches they're not as good

499
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 6: as they were in twenty sixteen, and I think we

500
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 6: are better overall. Hopkins was the only guy that could

501
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 6: hurt them that night, and they just completely took them away.

502
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 6: I think we have other ways to hurt them. And

503
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 6: by the way, our quarterback is CJ. Stroud and no

504
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 6: offense to Brock. Brock did not have a great night

505
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 6: that night. Brock had two good games before that, but

506
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 6: you did not have a good night that night. I

507
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 6: have a feeling CJ will have a much better day

508
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 6: than Brock had.

509
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: No offense to Brock.

510
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean that was a Thursday night game coming off

511
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: a slugfest against the Chiefs Week two that the Texans won.

512
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: I mean they sold their souls and won that game.

513
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: And then you go up to New England and get

514
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: totally ambushed by Brissett as a rookie. Brissett who's five

515
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: and one all time against the Houston Texans and is

516
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: not going to start for the New England Patriots.

517
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 2: So that's good, all right?

518
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: Coming up, the General John McClain will join us. We'll

519
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: talk about this matchup and all the other pertinent matchups

520
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: around the NFL.

521
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 2: It's Texans Radio.

522
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: Back to it here on Texans Radio, Mark vandermir and

523
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: John Harris with you in the General. John McClain Ready

524
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: for Houston Texans dot Com Pro Football Hall of Famer General.

525
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: Here we go to New England, a place where they

526
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: have never won. Wait a minute, I'm getting into my

527
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: pregame mode here. Yeah, but this is they're all big.

528
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: This is not one to be overlooked. I know they're

529
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: not a good team and they're starting a rookie quarterback,

530
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: but they started a rookie quarterback in twenty sixteen with

531
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett, and they won the game handily. Your thoughts

532
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven points right.

533
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: Twenty seven? Nothing?

534
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 7: Well, one thing I just ask Matt Burke Drake May.

535
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 8: Everybody think I've read about him talking about what he

536
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 8: can run so well, he's big, he's fast, he breaks tackles.

537
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 8: You know, he's a rookie. He's gonna run a lot.

538
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 8: Josh Allen got a lot of yards and if playing

539
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 8: against all these running quarterbacks, starting with Anthony Richardson would

540
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 8: help him, and he said, I hope so, and then

541
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 8: when he went into detail. But to me, that's the

542
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 8: big thing about May is not letting him when his

543
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 8: first read isn't there letting him take off and move

544
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 8: the ball. Didn't that Allen end up with over fifty

545
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 8: yards rushing and he had four fifty four and he

546
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 8: had one long one. So they've got to be able

547
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 8: to keep him in the pocket or make him plush

548
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 8: him out and just not let him take off. So

549
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 8: I'm excited about seeing May. I love watching rookie quarterbacks.

550
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 8: I love watching Caleb Williams here. I'm glad that Texan's

551
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 8: got to play him second game of the season, not now,

552
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 8: because he's improved so much and they just the Texans

553
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 8: just beat him up to a pulp. And now I'm

554
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 8: interested to see if they can do that to Drake May.

555
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 8: I think Hunter and Anderson combined for seventeen.

556
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: Pressures, Yeah, quite a bit.

557
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 5: Yeah against Josh Allen.

558
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, so they don't know I'm talking about it. Against

559
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 7: Kayla Williams.

560
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 6: Against Kiln Williams. Yeah, they and they and the team come.

561
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 6: I think it was seventeen eighteen against the Bills as well.

562
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 6: So general, the plan of attack against Caleb Williams was

563
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 6: the blitz to beiko blitz, probably more than he had

564
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 6: blitzed in a lot of other games. I think it

565
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 6: was a forty five to fifty percent that he blitz

566
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 6: Caleb Williams.

567
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 5: Do you think that same recipe is there for Drake May.

568
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 7: I think that the Patriots are going to be expecting you.

569
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 8: Why wouldn't you blitz a guy making his first start

570
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 8: just to see how he handles it. So I'm guessing

571
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 8: the first time he's an obvious passing situation, he's going

572
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 8: to be thinking blitz and they'll show it. Whether they

573
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 8: drop out of it or not remains to be seen.

574
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 8: And that's what's going to be fun watching Demiko go

575
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 8: against another rookie quarterback. It's too bad he couldn't play

576
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 8: it against j. J. McCarthy. But they don't play against

577
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 8: bow Nicks. They have any other rookies on the schedule

578
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 8: that are starting now, are about to start. But this

579
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 8: is the third one. And of course I have played

580
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 8: Jane Daniels. But I've heard so much about May going

581
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 8: back to was it his sophomore year when he was

582
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 8: great and then he lost all his weapons and a

583
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 8: lot of people tried to act like he wasn't so good. Well,

584
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 8: I'm glad they're putting him out there. Reminder, Stevenson might

585
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 8: not play he's injured, and they like to run the

586
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 8: ball up the middle, which has been the Texans weakness

587
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 8: the last two games where they're giving up over one

588
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty yards rushing and Miko as he told

589
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 8: you guys, he wasn't happy with the run defense again,

590
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 8: and I thought that was a great quote after that

591
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 8: first serieson they're running. They told Isis he was going

592
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 8: to take him out of the game. He says, oldis

593
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 8: what now, let me stay in and then he played

594
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 8: great after that and they didn't run the ball up

595
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 8: the middle anymore. So the Patriots don't have everybody talks

596
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 8: about their offensive line is not any good and he's

597
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 8: gonna have to get rid of the ball quick or

598
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 8: there's a good chance he's gonna get pulverized.

599
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: John McClain joining us.

600
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about these Patriots a little bit because Gerrodmeo,

601
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: first year head coach. It's not like the Demico Ryan situation.

602
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: You didn't draft c J. Stroud, you drafted Drake Maye.

603
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it turns out to be an all time great.

604
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: It's just a it could be similar, but it's not general.

605
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 2: Your thoughts of what they're going through right now.

606
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 8: They just don't have offensive weapons like the Texas n

607
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 8: Cassario did a great job putting weapons around. Stroud continues,

608
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 8: you know you lose Nicocollins. He lost him twice last year.

609
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 8: He won two road games at Cincinnati and Tennessee, and

610
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 8: he did any Man Stroud for the Tennessee game case

611
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 8: Keenan played. So they've proved they can win as long

612
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 8: as they got the quarterback. They're capable of beating anybody.

613
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 8: Now they're favored seven, they haven't they haven't been covering

614
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 8: the spread. I would think this is a game they

615
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 8: could win handily. You'd love to see him put a

616
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 8: game together on both sides of the ball for the

617
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 8: first time since the Cleveland wild Card game. Getting ready

618
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 8: to go to Green Bay. And yes they'll miss Nico,

619
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 8: who's the best receiver in the NFL this year. But

620
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 8: the difference is they have Stefan Diggs replacing Noeh Brown.

621
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 8: Noah Brown played great in those two games last year

622
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 8: and singletary rush for one point fifty and one thirty

623
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 8: the best games of his career. Now mixings back at practice.

624
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 8: Whether he can come back, you know they're going to

625
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 8: keep having to establish the running game. They just they

626
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 8: keep putting Stroud in so many obvious passing situations and

627
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 8: he's been great on third down and but you know,

628
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 8: Bobby Sloyd wants to run better than they have. And

629
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 8: the Patriots, though, they do have a good defense.

630
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 5: So let's build on that.

631
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 6: John Joe maxon potentially being back Damian Pierce being back.

632
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 6: What kind of sholt do you think you get from

633
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 6: those two coming back?

634
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 7: Well, we saw.

635
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 8: Damien Piers briefly and on the runs. He had three

636
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 8: straight plays up the middle ye no outside zone, which

637
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 8: is very smart and slow. He average a little over

638
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 8: five yards of carry. So are they going to make

639
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 8: him do what he did last year and he couldn't

640
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 8: do it? Or are they going to let him do

641
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 8: what he did the year before? So that looks good.

642
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 8: Cam Aker's had those two runs, including the touchdown where

643
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 8: the blocking was great. He followed the blocking the way

644
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 8: it's supposed to be, you know, dargue. But Waally's a receiver.

645
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 8: It's amazing. He's averaging ten point three yards of catch

646
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 8: out of the battlefield, but he doesn't you know, he

647
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 8: avers what two three yards of carry? But I think

648
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 8: if they get both those guys back. It's great even

649
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 8: if it's just one, because I want to see what

650
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 8: Piers can do. Slowly runs him the way he did

651
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 8: against the Colts.

652
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: Let's go atmosphere, environment. I don't want to use the

653
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: word culture, so I'm gonna use environment. Good work, good

654
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: environment general. You've often talked about back in the day

655
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: bum Phillips with the family atmosphere and the barbecues and

656
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: everything like that. Demiko Ryan's here on Tuesdays, has family Night.

657
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: He brings the families in for dinner, assistant coaches, spend

658
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 1: some time with the kids and the white because Tuesday

659
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: is going to be a late night. Let's have that togetherness.

660
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: It's important to him. Fridays, get out of here, go

661
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: pick up the kids, spend time with the families, date

662
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: night with the wife, all of that. Do you send

663
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: something Look, it's never gonna be like it was in

664
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: the seventies or maybe early eighties or whatever, but do

665
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: you send something special here that way with the environment

666
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 1: they've created for the coaches and the players.

667
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 8: And culture, of course is attitude and mom Phillips used

668
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 8: to run black and white players together. And one of

669
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 8: the things to Miko did and move all the lockers around,

670
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 8: and you can't do this anymore. But you used to

671
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 8: have beer bus and Peteza parties and just to get

672
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 8: players to take off their pads and spend time with

673
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 8: each other and their families getting to know each other,

674
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 8: because bum Phillips said. Bum Phillips used to say, when

675
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 8: the times are tough, subconsciously, you'll let down your friends,

676
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 8: but you won't let down your family. And that was

677
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 8: the idea. Now they're not thinking about something bum Phillips

678
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 8: said back then. But I do see it, and I

679
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 8: think it's good. And when times are tough, they make plays.

680
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 8: For example, you've won by we'll see, first game was

681
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 8: what two points to two, six, four and three points.

682
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 8: Last year, seven of the ten victories were seven or

683
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 8: fewer points, and you did it with a rookie quarterback.

684
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 8: So there's something special about a team that continually wins

685
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 8: close games. I believe there were five games won in

686
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 8: the last eighteen seconds or less last year. So no

687
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 8: matter how bad they play, no matter like the fourth quarter,

688
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 8: my goodness, and then get a chance to win and

689
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 8: they do. And so there's something special about this team

690
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 8: mentally about wanting to pull for each other and that

691
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 8: has a lot to do with the kind of players

692
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 8: they bring in, and that's one reason everybody likes them

693
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 8: so much and respects them so much.

694
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 6: All right, General, your uniform review for last week's Htown uniforms,

695
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 6: what would you give it?

696
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 7: Well? I love the bull.

697
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 8: I always have loved the bull since the first time

698
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 8: I saw it, yep with Bob McNair. But boy, that

699
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 8: H Town and the colors look great now way up

700
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 8: in the press box.

701
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 7: And I don't know, you guys.

702
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 8: I see it in numbers, and I've got the TV

703
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 8: in front above me, and I've got the scoreboard. But

704
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 8: when I look on the field and I got my glasses.

705
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 8: Now I didn't bring my binoculars, but I had a

706
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 8: hard time looking at numbers. I'd see this guy running

707
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 8: like crazy, and I'm like, now, what safety is that?

708
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 7: Oh that's how sure. I can't believe how fast the

709
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 7: guy is. So I loved it. I thought they were great.

710
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 8: Tamiko said he wished they would make him the main uniform.

711
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 8: I wish they would wear the H Town blue with

712
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 8: a red helmet.

713
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 6: See that's what I That's what I said said. No,

714
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 6: here's what I said, General, I said put the h

715
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 6: on the red helmet.

716
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 1: Oh, put instead of the horns, Instead of the horns. Oh,

717
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: Doug's gonna love this. No, I'm not saying the horns.

718
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: I don't mind the horns. I don't mind the horns.

719
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: But put horns maybe in one step at the h

720
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: and the other.

721
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 7: I don't know. You know what created for after a while?

722
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 2: What hell? That's pretty good.

723
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 7: Come to the NRG stadium age you're gonna get hell.

724
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: That reminds me of the old Nebraska joke. What does

725
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: the ND stand for on the Nebraska helmet?

726
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 5: Knowledge?

727
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: Knowledge? Okay, uh, that's.

728
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 3: An old job.

729
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: So mad at us, very up with us, said all right,

730
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: so general, let's get into Aaron Rodgers because the Texans

731
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: are going to be there Halloween night playing the New

732
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: York Jets who have the Buffalo Bills Monday night.

733
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: This is a huge game.

734
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: Both teams are really upset with themselves and everybody else.

735
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: So that's gonna be at the Metal Lands.

736
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: What do you make of the firing of Rob Sala

737
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: and how that all went down? And do you think

738
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: that Sala was making the move to Todd Downing who

739
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: they're going to use anyway for play calling and that's

740
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: what led to this happening.

741
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts?

742
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 8: I read every story I could from people that I

743
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 8: trust that have covered that team a long time. There's

744
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 8: one that they had a big blow up after the

745
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 8: press conference in London. There's another one that Woody Johnson

746
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 8: didn't hire me, he wasn't his guy.

747
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 7: I don't buy that.

748
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 8: Christopher when hired him without his brother signing off on

749
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 8: it from London. And the other one is he was

750
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 8: going to fire hack Kid and there's all these things.

751
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 8: And then I watched Rogers. Now I've seen him lie

752
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 8: before on Pat McAfee, so he's lied so much.

753
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 7: I don't know.

754
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 8: I just think we're naive if we think he didn't

755
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 8: have anything to do with it. And they talked Monday

756
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 8: night and Woody Johnson knew what he's gonna do, but

757
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 8: he didn't bring it up to his quarterback. I just

758
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 8: don't buy it. But it doesn't matter.

759
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 7: You know.

760
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 8: The defense played great, and even though Ulbrick was the coordinator,

761
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 8: Sawa as a defensive coach. Do you remember two weeks

762
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 8: ago or last week I told you all, I bet

763
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 8: Solo's up here next year.

764
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did say that, and.

765
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 8: I did that because I thought he'd get fired at

766
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 8: the end of the year. Now he'll get offers as

767
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 8: defensive coordinator. But and Demiko are so close you could

768
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 8: bring him in as an assistant head coach like they

769
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 8: were going to do with Gary Kubiak. And so if

770
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 8: they win, they're tied for first place. It just seems

771
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 8: kind of odd the timing and what he Johnson's never

772
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 8: done it. Why did he do it this time if

773
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 8: there was no input from anybody. Eric Mangini, the former

774
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 8: head coach, I saw this this week. On one of

775
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 8: those talking headge shows. Last week, he said that if

776
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 8: the Jets got beat in front of all of Woodie

777
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 8: Johnson's British buddies, he was going to be so embarrassed

778
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 8: he might fire Robert Sala. Wow, you talk about being prophetic.

779
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 8: My goodness, we'll never know Todd Downing who people in.

780
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 8: When I did my show in Nashville this week and

781
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 8: I bought it, brought up Downing in this play caller

782
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 8: and they're like, eh, And I think he did it

783
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 8: for the Raiders too. But he can't be worse than Hacket.

784
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 8: The Hackets will never be an offensive coordinator again unless

785
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers buys a team and can force it. He's

786
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 8: just the worst anybody's ever seen. I bet the Jets

787
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 8: win the game. And did you see the stat no

788
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 8: quarterback regular quarterbacks going longer without a three hundred yard

789
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 8: game than Rogers.

790
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 3: Wow?

791
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 7: Even watch a short back throwers shoulders throws.

792
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Watson and Joe Flacco has thrown four three

793
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 6: hundred yards six times in a row.

794
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 2: That's incredible.

795
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 5: I mean, it's incredible. It's amazing.

796
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 6: Regular season Yeah, regular season, yeah, right right right? Regular

797
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 6: season people? Uh, general, the Colts of Titans. Oh, by

798
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 6: the way, twenty twenty five head coach in New York Jets,

799
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 6: Mike Rabel circlet Uh Colts Titans, who you got to Tennessee,

800
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 6: they're going back to Levis?

801
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 5: Do you believe in Will Levis enough to get a win?

802
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 8: But he does, but they got to see a lot

803
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 8: more of him. And and Shane Steigen's already said when

804
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 8: Richards and healthy, he's the starter because they drafted him

805
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 8: so high. He's been inconsistent, he's been injured. Joe Flacco

806
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 8: would help him win. Flako knows the score, and uh,

807
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 8: the Colts if they had won that game, they just

808
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 8: be one game behind the Texans, and they almost did

809
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 8: with Flacco. The other two he came off the bench

810
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 8: so and won both of them. So it's hard to

811
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 8: tell fan base and your players, we know we got

812
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 8: a better chance to win, but well.

813
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: Do the Titans have a large Hellman's sponsorship deal going

814
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: and that's why they continually go back.

815
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 8: To I know he has his own deal for Mayo.

816
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 8: By the way, I'm told I did a podcast in

817
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 8: new You guys are gonna disgust me. A lot of

818
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 8: empty seats wait Ja led stadium for the first.

819
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: Time, because they're all upset, but.

820
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 7: People are mad how bad the team is right now.

821
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: I have friends who have season tickets up there and

822
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: they're excited about seeing may And I thought, all right, well,

823
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 1: I hope you get disappointed bitterly at his performance because

824
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: we're coming to town and we want this one. The

825
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: Texans have never wanted to let stadium. I've said that

826
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: seventy five times this week. So yeah, you'll see some

827
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: empty seats. And I do not want to hear Josie

828
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: because that's the song they play when the game is

829
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 1: in the bag for them and Scott Zolat goes crazy

830
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: out of the broadcast booth that I resent him for it,

831
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: So I don't want to see any of that stuff.

832
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: General Cowboys Lions. This is a big one on Sunday afternoon.

833
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 5: Who do you got?

834
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 7: I'm going with the Lions, Okay, I think they're better team.

835
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 8: I watched a Cowboys game, and you know they that

836
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 8: was boy love, scoring and boring. But they wanted Prescott

837
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 8: had that that winning touchdown pass. But they just don't

838
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 8: seem very good. Lions got a lot more talent. They're

839
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 8: healthier too.

840
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 6: Thursday night games coming up right here on our air,

841
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,479
Speaker 6: Sports Radio six y ten. The Niners, the disappointing two

842
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 6: and three San Francisco forty nine ers, fresh off the

843
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 6: loss of the Cardinals, are taking on the Seattle Seahawks,

844
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 6: fresh off a disappointing loss to the New York Football Giants.

845
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 5: Who you got, general, Niners or Seahawks tonight?

846
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 7: Seahawks have lost two in a row. Rock Birdie.

847
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 8: They thought he might lift up the offense without Christian McCaffrey.

848
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 8: He hasn't been able to do that, and he hasn't

849
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 8: played that well. Here's a guy's gonna try to get

850
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 8: sixty five million, and I don't generally pick against the Niners,

851
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 8: and I'm not gonna pick against him now. They've had

852
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 8: other slow starts and they still run the ball. Well,

853
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 8: they're just they're blowing games. That's so un nine aer like,

854
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 8: you know, you keep changing defensive coordinators. Maybe they'll call

855
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 8: solid and say, hey, come back.

856
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 7: We need out.

857
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 8: Oh and so, but I'm still going with the forty

858
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 8: nine ers. I just can't pick against them if they're

859
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 8: not playing a great team.

860
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: All right, So did the Jaguars get right offensively in

861
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: their game against the Colts. They put up a lot

862
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: of numbers and they're gonna take on the Bears in

863
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: the Windy City.

864
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, it's in London. What am I saying? Hello?

865
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 2: I forgot they're there. So they're flying out tonight as

866
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, aren't they, Johnny.

867
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 8: They moved everything back because they're again, and so they're

868
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 8: practicing tonight today, late today and flying out tonight.

869
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So do they get the win over the Bears

870
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: and win the following beat the Colts?

871
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 8: And that was home Colts can't win there since like

872
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 8: nineteen eighty and the Bears have been playing better offense.

873
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 7: Their defense. This is really good.

874
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 8: I saw a stat the other day it's been almost

875
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 8: two years since they've given up more than twenty three points.

876
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 8: So I'm gonna take the Bears over the hometown Jaguars

877
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 8: mar Town.

878
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 6: The best game of the weekend, best game four to one.

879
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 6: Washington Commanders taking on the three and two Baltimore Ravens.

880
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 6: We will see what Jaden Daniels is all about. Do

881
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 6: you give Jaden a shot of beating the Ravens. We've

882
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 6: seen rookies go in to Baltimore and hasn't gone well.

883
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 6: What do you think about Jadson Daniels going in general

884
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 6: taking on the Ravens.

885
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 8: I don't pick the Ravens to lose at home. I'm

886
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 8: going with the Ravens. He's gonna lose sooner or later.

887
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 8: Do you see yesterday the stat they put RG three's

888
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 8: first five games, and it was five. They're almost identical.

889
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 8: And then, of course Griffin's career was hurt but ended

890
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 8: because of injuries. But I think that the Ravens and

891
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson will bring the Commanders back down and my

892
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 8: wife back down to the Earth.

893
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: As long as Jayden Daniels doesn't start a radio talk

894
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: show in the nation's capital.

895
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 6: I think they're a good show. No, you know what,

896
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 6: she's an agent. Yeah, she's become a certified.

897
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 7: His parents are becoming agents.

898
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 2: Yes, oh good for her.

899
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 7: Keep the money in the fans, But no.

900
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: Talk show, Johnny three, how do you know that backfire

901
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: talk show? You never know, Joe, that.

902
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 8: Was RG three's mom getting a getting a talk show

903
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 8: case to anybody's wondering.

904
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: So Cleveland needs a get well game, and they get

905
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: one by going to Philadelphia, kidding that could be really

906
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: tough for them, John.

907
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 8: I think he's gonna be Shaun Watson's under fire. They

908
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 8: need to take him out. Jimmy Aslam mercifully should tell

909
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 8: Kevin's toe fantasy. Okay, if you want to bench him,

910
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 8: bench him, let Winston play. Do you think that happens

911
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 8: if he keeps playing bad and they keep losing. Yes, everybody, fans, media,

912
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 8: most of the people in the building, I'm told think

913
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 8: Watson needs to step back and rest and relax, get

914
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 8: a different perspective because he is. He's like he's forgotten

915
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 8: how to play quarterback, and when he does store good pass,

916
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,959
Speaker 8: his receivers drop him. Nick Chubb will be back soon,

917
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 8: but man that's putting all his pressure on Chubb. I

918
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 8: think if they lose this once, only a matter of

919
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 8: time before we see jamis.

920
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 6: Okay, So here's the upcoming schedule for the Browns. Okay,

921
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 6: tell me if I mean because I.

922
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 5: Philly.

923
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 6: That's this weekend right home Bengals, oh home Ravens.

924
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 5: Oh home Chargers before bye week.

925
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 2: That's a real tough stretch right there.

926
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 8: I can't see him staying in and not in them

927
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 8: not getting three hundred yards and him not getting two

928
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 8: hundred yards for another four games before they beinge him.

929
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: Well, he had they game a couple of weeks ago

930
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: where everyone was celebrating their performance, but they still lost

931
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: and he still didn't throw for over two hundred.

932
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 5: One hundred and ninety or something like that. Cook what

933
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 5: he's doing.

934
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 2: He got close, So that was a tough deal for him.

935
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

936
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 2: Looking around at some other actions.

937
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 8: Meet, they're calling the most hated quarterback in the NFL

938
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 8: up there and around the country.

939
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 1: In Cleveland, they're saying, in town, the city that's happening,

940
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: we really rough that.

941
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 6: That's to me, that's the thing, John, that we've talked

942
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 6: about and and you've mentioned as well. He's the villain,

943
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 6: and I don't think he can play as the villain.

944
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 6: Roethlisberger had beloved.

945
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: You know, everyone talks about Roethlisberger bouncing back from his

946
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: off field incident.

947
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 2: But Roethlisberger loves being the villain.

948
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 7: Macefield loves being a villain.

949
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: Mayfield, Yes, and you know that Brady loved it. Yes,

950
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: Brady loved it too. Yeah, but Brady, it's a.

951
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 5: Little book about being a servant leader. He doesn't love

952
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 5: being the villain.

953
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's a good point there.

954
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 8: Certainly wasn't used to it. And now stories are starting

955
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 8: to you know, for a while they didn't put in

956
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 8: the civilis it's now Deshaun Watson karma who you know

957
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 8: over so now they're starting to look at all the

958
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 8: things that were negative in his career and up there

959
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 8: they're calling it the worst trade in history. It's not

960
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 8: ursa Walker was, but that's It's. Things could not be

961
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 8: more negative for Deshaun Watson than they are in Northeast

962
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 8: Ohio right now.

963
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: One of the more disappointing developments this year for me

964
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: is that the Broncos have a winning record through five

965
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: weeks to three and two, they'll entertain the Chargers. Who's

966
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: the winner there in Mile High City?

967
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 8: If they played, well, I'm gonna go with the Broncos

968
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 8: because they're at home. I think at some point bow

969
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 8: Knicks was gonna come back down to earth. But man,

970
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 8: you know, he started sixty sixty games in college, and

971
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 8: I love the fact that he jumped back in Sean

972
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 8: Payton's face on the sideline and then they made light

973
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 8: of it. He did a Ferris Bueller day Off skit

974
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 8: about it, so they had a good censor him or

975
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 8: about it because they want.

976
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, the bow Knicks fire back and called him

977
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 6: Dennis the Menace because that's what Bill Parcells called Sean

978
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 6: Payton was Dennis the Menas. I'm like, but to be honest,

979
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 6: I think that actually might be good for bow Knicks

980
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 6: and for Sean Payton, Like Peyton knows, hey, man, I

981
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 6: got a guy that'll fight back.

982
00:42:59,360 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 7: I kind of like that.

983
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I bet he signed off on that. Yeah,

984
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: of course, call me Dennis the Medison. Do it, do it,

985
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: It'll be good anyway. General, what do you have going

986
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: on on Houston Texans dot Com.

987
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 8: I have a column I'm writing today. I mean I

988
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 8: wrote about Nico and now they won without him last year,

989
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 8: they can win and they beat Buffalo without him for

990
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 8: three quarters, and they've got plenty of receivers to step

991
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 8: up so they can win without him this year. And

992
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 8: then I'm doing one for Friday on playing a rookie

993
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,799

Speaker 2: I'm doing great, and let's get to this now.

1013
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: I know that over the years technology has gotten better,

1014
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: treatment has gotten better, But the most important thing, correct

1015
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, is that people get checked because

1016
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: you can't get started unless you know what you are

1017
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: dealing with.

1018
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 9: Right, that's correct. I mean it has been shown over

1019
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 9: the years that screening mirmographies have identified smaller cancers, which

1020
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 9: lead to early treatment and early cure, and hence they

1021
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 9: increased longevity.

1022
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 8: For the men.

1023
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,400

1025
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: evolved over the past five to ten years doctor, Yeah,

1026
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 1: so it's a.

1027
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 9: Huge change from you know, fifty years ago. I see,

1028
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 9: like people's notion for cancer try when comes from like

1029
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 9: you know, bad movies and everything that they see on TV.

1030
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 9: But in real life, the life has changed so much

1031
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 9: for our cancer patients. There is a huge focus on

1032
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 9: maintaining a quality of life. There's a huge focus of

1033
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 9: trying to avoid chemo therapy and patients that don't need it.

1034
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 9: There are a lot of novel clinical trials that are

1035
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 9: now aimed at non chemo therapy related regiments, which is

1036
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 9: really great for the future because that's where we really

1037
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 9: want to go, which is a non chemo therapy related regimen.

1038
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 9: In addition, there has been so many number of clinical

1039
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 9: trials that are ongoing and so many new FDA approvals

1040

1041
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 9: early stage, whether at the stage four. We have really

1042
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 9: made long strides from like a decade ago, and there's

1043
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,879
Speaker 9: so many more treatments that are available that are much

1044
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,000
