29
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: to talk to him a little bit when we were

30
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, and Brock was always good to you.

31
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: Wait, you mean at the big twelve media Big twelve

32
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 3: million years this year, okay, And I had a chance

33
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 3: to catch up with a little bit and he was

34
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 3: doing actually TV with Andre.

35
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they sounded like they I mean I listened

36
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: to this sounded great and it sounded like they got along.

37
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really good job by both.

38
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: And so I was talking to Dre and Brock walked

39
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: up and I said, hey, Brock on as you remember.

40
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: He goes, I remember you, John, and I was like, whoa,

41
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Okay cool. So, I mean, look, it was it was

42
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: a tough year in twenty sixteen. It just wasn't the

43
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: right fit for Brock to beer at that time. But

44
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Brock's been a good dude. I mean he's a good dude,

45
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: and I like listening to him on on the college games.

46
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: He does, he does a good job.

47
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 3: I want you to think about what he just said.

48
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: It was a tough year in twenty sixteen. How would

49
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: you describe twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two?

50
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't It was a tough year because we were

51
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: winning in pite of the things that the things that

52
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: I think make this team and this organization work now

53
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: we're not hallmarks of our team in twenty six That's

54
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: that's well put, John, Is that the better way?

55
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 5: It's saying?

56
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: No, it is.

57
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: But I still think winning is great. I don't want

58
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: to say no matter how you do it. But maybe

59
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: right I think it was a nice time in Texans history. Actually,

60
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen.

61
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to complain about it.

62
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: Twenty fifteen got off to a horrendous start at two

63
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: and five, and you won the division twenty sixteen.

64
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: Brock wasn't that good. We all know that. Maybe he

65
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: wasn't good at all.

66
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: But he has a winning record, as I stood or

67
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 3: he swept the Colts, Baby, he won a playoff game.

68
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: How many guys have done that here? So that's just

69
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: Brock CJ.

70
00:02:59,280 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 4: CJ.

71
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 3: Wat Watson. Yeah, that's it. Right, how many guys have

72
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: won two? Nobody?

73
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: Nobody?

74
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: Nobody's won nobody's won two. Isn't that incredible?

75
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: No? Shot?

76
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Shot has a one too because it was teacher,

77
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: That's right.

78
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: Wow, isn't that amazing? So Brock one sixteen, that's right? Watson, no,

79
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: because he lost an eighteen.

80
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: To eighteen one and just one and nineteen.

81
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Buffalo, he's one two? How about this number?

82
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: So I did my buy the numbers for this week,

83
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: and last week's point total really kind of caught my

84
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: attention because I'm like, man, we got forty. This is cool.

85
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, how many times do you do that?

86
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: And I remember thinking, you know, we've had this. I

87
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: feel like we've had this really competent I this is

88
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: the wrong way saying it.

89
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: I feel like we've had this really fun offense to.

90
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: Watch since CJ's taken over, since Bobby has been the OC.

91
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: Let me look, they've run into some hurdles, but I

92
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: really feel like that offense is really fun to watch.

93
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, see Ja Nico, then you add Steph and

94
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: youll Tank into the mix this year, and it just

95
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: feels like it's been a really fun offense to watch.

96
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: And then I thought, because I asked this question when

97
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: you threw down at me the other day we were

98
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: in New England.

99
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: We hit forty one. I was like, man, how many

100
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: times do we hit forty?

101
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: And I honestly asked the question not knowing the answer,

102
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: having an idea that I knew the answer, but not

103
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: knowing it for sure. We scored forty one against the

104
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: Chargers a day after Christmas yep twenty twenty one. December

105
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty one, this last time we'd scored forty.

106
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: So then that got me in a regular season in

107
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: regular season, right, So that got me interested. Like, wait

108
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: a second, I want to go back and look, since

109
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, since the start of the twenty seventeen season,

110
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: how many times have we scored forty points or more.

111
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 6: Three in the.

112
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: Regular season in the regular season regular season?

113
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 6: Three?

114
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: Is it four?

115
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: It's six? Total?

116
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: Oh, Atlanta, Okay, because that year was definitely the Titans.

117
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: So seventeen was the biggest win seven fourteen. And now

118
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: here's the thing about it.

119
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've never in that time span, we never scored

120
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: more than forty twice in the season in the regular season.

121
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: Okay, So twenty seventeen seventeen.

122
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: You're right, twenty eighteen Dolphins on a Thursday night. Oh,

123
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: I forgot all about twenty nineteen Atlanta Atlanta twenty twenty.

124
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: That's the tricky one. Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, That is tricky.

125
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: I would have been here all day. I thought that

126
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: was in the thirties, yes.

127
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: And then Chargers Day after Christmas twenty twenty one, and

128
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: then the other day against the Patriots. But over that

129
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: span of twenty seventeen to twenty twenty four, you had

130
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson at the beginning, You've had CJ strou at

131
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: the end, and you've only had six games of in

132
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: the regular season of forty points or more. Now forty

133
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: points NFL game is I mean, that's a pretty big,

134
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: n huge number. It's a salty number, but I kind

135
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: of would have thought with some of the players we've

136
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: had over the years, so one the offense is that

137
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: we would have had more than forty. We just but

138
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: we haven't. It hasn't happened much, only six times.

139
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: Let's put it this way.

140
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: Last year, when the Texans offense started to put up

141
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: some impressive numbers, I went back and looked, Okay, what

142
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: are the rankings here of offense, run and pass, offense

143
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: and defense.

144
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: Let's just do that.

145
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: But let's do offense for the time being for this conversation,

146
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: and the offense last year put up numbers that we

147
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 3: had not seen since the Gary Kubiak era. Correct, So

148
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: as much as Watson looked good here for a time

149
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 3: with Bill O'Brien and Bill O'Brien offensive coach and all that,

150
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: they did not get to those Kubiaki in numbers, and

151
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: this team did in the first year that the band

152
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: has been put together. Now this year, we'll see how

153
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 3: it all goes, because obviously we're far from done. But

154
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 3: number one passing attack in the league going into last

155
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: week's game, and I think that with the running game

156
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: with the two backs back, we'll see what happens here.

157
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: You know, you got to get a little more water

158
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 3: under the bridge. Here, see what the numbers bear, because Pierce,

159
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: is this going to be Damien? Because I like it.

160
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 3: I don't want to see twenty twenty two Damien. You

161
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: remember that I know could run the ball well and

162
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: catch the ball well.

163
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: So let's keep going.

164
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: Remember when Dimiko said that, I think it was during

165
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: OTAs he did a presser in the media work room,

166
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: and I remember him distinctly talked somebody who's asked about Damien.

167
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 1: Damien's been one of the more talked about players because

168
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: he had such a great start in twenty twenty two.

169
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: Then everybody likes him, and everybody likes him.

170
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: He's be loved and he's got such a great attitude

171
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: about things, and he's been so honest about everything. I mean,

172
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: there's a there's kind of a bit of marsh On

173
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Lynch in him, which I which I love, kind of

174
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: maybe not the wild child sort of stuff, but he

175
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: just he says what's on his mind. He's very honest

176
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: about it, and he runs with a lot of venom

177
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: in his system, kind of like marsh On used to.

178
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: But I remember Dimiko saying, yeah, we got a one

179
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: two punch and Sunday was that one two punch? Here's

180
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: another one before we gets what they envisioned. Yep, here's

181
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: another one.

182
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

183
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: It's been three hundred and ninety two days over a

184
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: year since the Texans have played a regular season game

185
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: on grass.

186
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that. I brought that up with Tamiko.

187
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: You're about to hear it. Yeah, he seemed a little

188
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: surprised al but I think it's just he's he knows this,

189
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: but I think he was re reminded of it because

190
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: it's so baked into his game plan.

191
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: Thinking right now, he's.

192
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, grass, Yeah, yeah, playing on grass and

193
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: the love it. That's the thing. The reason I'm bringing

194
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: up is I remember having his conversation with John Grenard.

195
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: In fact, it was it was right over here. I

196
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: think it was last year. JG had been crushing at home.

197
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: He had been playing really, really well. He'd been playing

198
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: well period. But I remember we were going I think

199
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: we're going to Jacksonville, and I remember him saying, oh, yeah, grass,

200
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: and I just thought and I stopped him. I said,

201
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: so you don't like playing on turf? Oh I hate it?

202
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: He said, I'll play on grass all day, every day.

203
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: And I just thought, man. And so I got his

204
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: conversation with him about it, and he just said, man,

205
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: playing on the on the turf, it just takes a

206
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: lot of your body, et cetera. And I thought that's interesting.

207
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: So I've paid attention to that ever since. So playing

208
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: on grass, it's only our second game outside this year.

209
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: We want to know outside, which is good for an

210
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: indoor team, and we're getting great, great weather. Presumably hopefully

211
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: the weather report is not going to change, so we're

212
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: kind of having things fall into our hands. It's just

213
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: a matter of the injuries being a little bit of

214
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: an issue. You know.

215
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: What's shocking to me, maybe not shocking, at least mildly surprising,

216
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: is that we can't do grass better in this country.

217
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: What was the state?

218
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: Did you show me the footage of that stadium? And

219
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: is it Madrid or is at the Barcelona State? I

220
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: think it's real Madrid.

221
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: Oh, it's real Madrid where they can take shelving and

222
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: like rows, underground under lights. It's insane. It looks like a.

223
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: J Bond villain hideout. And how do you afford to

224
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: do that? That's sick money right there.

225
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: Ridiculous.

226
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 3: But you would think there would be a system that

227
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: would enable you to do that, or you would invent

228
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: the artificial surface that is so like grass that the

229
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 3: players don't even mind, they don't complain about it.

230
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: I feel like they've been trying that since they opened

231
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: the Astronome and they just haven't gotten there.

232
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: You haven't done it.

233
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: We have some smart people in America, Go build us

234
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: some good grass, everybody, but do not take our coach.

235
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: Leave our coach here because we love him. Tamika Ryan's

236
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: stepped in studio talk with Mark. Give him some pregame

237
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: thoughts right here.

238
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: All right, coach, first time on grass as you face

239
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: the packers and you practice on grass all week. Obviously,

240
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: how's the preparation been for this one?

241
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 7: His preparation this week has been really outstanding. Our guys

242
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 7: were locked in. We had a really great week of work.

243
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 7: The attention of detail, the energy, everything you want like

244
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 7: to have yourself as prepared as possible going into his

245
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 7: big game.

246
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 3: All right, now, what about getting pressure on Jordan Love

247
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 3: with your front four. I know you'd like to do

248
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: that without sending extra people off.

249
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, we would love our front four to get after him.

250
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 7: We're excited to have Autry back this week. Think he'll

251
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 7: help with adding pressure to the quarterback. It's gonna be tough.

252
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 7: I mean, Jordan and he moves around a lot. He's athletic.

253
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 7: He'll retreat back in the pocket, so it's gonna take

254
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 7: that second effort to get him, and we have to

255
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 7: be really disciplined in our coverage.

256
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: Everybody talks about green Bay and play action. What makes

257
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: it difficult to defend play action and.

258
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 4: The most difficult part is because they run the ball well. Yeah.

259
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 7: And now when you run the ball well, that gets

260
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 7: the second level defenders to step up even more. And

261
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 7: then when they step up too far, that's when you

262
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 7: have the shots, the deep passes or the intermedia passes

263
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 7: going over their heads. So we have to be very

264
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 7: honed in on our keys, like make sure we're a

265
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 7: key in the offensive lineman and not just filling the

266
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 7: quarterback and the fake with the play action.

267
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 3: All right, Now, what about moving the ball against them?

268
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 3: They're very good at taking the ball away.

269
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're tops in the league at taking the ball away.

270
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 7: So for us offensively, we have to be very ball conscious,

271
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 7: like every snap. We've been talking about it all week.

272
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 7: Every snap. We have to finish with the football, that's

273
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 7: the first thing. And I feel like, you know, we

274
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 7: can get after them up front. We can run the

275
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 7: ball versus these guys, and there are some passes and

276
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 7: plays to be made in the past game we just

277
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 7: have to execute.

278
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 3: So you've been on the road a few times now,

279
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 3: so you feel like the communication is good with the

280
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 3: offense and crowd noise and that kind of thing.

281
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 7: Offense has definitely gotten better from our first time on

282
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 7: the road or our most difficult game on the road

283
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 7: being there in Minnesota.

284
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 4: We've grown so much in those regards.

285
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 7: I feel like we've done a great job with the

286
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 7: pre stnale penalties, great job with the silent count, and

287
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 7: we're gonna need this week to show that we're on

288
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 7: top of our game just so we can get started.

289
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 7: We want our guys to get started so we can

290
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 7: make the plays we need to make.

291
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: You feel like with Joe and Damien back, you're a

292
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: different team in a way.

293
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 7: Offensively, Yeah, definitely a different team, more physical, like the

294
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 7: way Joe and Damian, the way they run the football.

295
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 7: We're a physical team. We can impose our will on

296
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 7: people a little bit more with these two guys running

297
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 7: the ball because they're such strong runners.

298
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: I know, special teams so important to you. You have injuries,

299
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 3: How does that factor in with all the guys you

300
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: need to play all the phases.

301
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 7: And injuries definitely factor in, so probably see a little

302
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 7: different strategies that they ain't gonna kickoff kickoff return seeing

303
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 7: how we can make plays there. But again, the game

304
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 7: will come down to first and foremost. We got to

305
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 7: protect will punt punt team. We gotta protect well, and

306
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 7: I think our field goal team has to do an

307
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 7: excellent job when we get opportunity to score points.

308
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 4: We got to score points this week.

309
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: Coach, thanks a lot, good luck, Thanks Mark, And of

310
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: course you hear from a coach, you can hear from

311
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: a player. That means. Drew Doherty stopped in the locker

312
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: room with one Nathaniel Tank Dell to get Tank's thoughts.

313
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: I'm going to Lambeau and take it on the Packers.

314
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 8: Tank.

315
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 9: You're coming off a season high seven catches fifty seven

316
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 9: yards in the touchdown. How are you guys feeling as

317
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 9: an offense right now?

318
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 4: We're feeling good.

319
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 10: The most points we put up all season forty one,

320
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 10: forty two or something like that, and I feel like

321
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 10: we was clicking run game, man, pass game. We was

322
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 10: clicking together and feeling We feel like we're feeling good,

323
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 10: feeling pretty good.

324
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 9: Got a nice basketball game going on here a few

325
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 9: days before the big game in Green Bay. But let's

326
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 9: cuck a little bit more about that offense clicking. Can

327
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 9: you figure out what the identity of the offense is

328
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 9: right now? Because they're moving parts. Guys aren't in, Guys

329
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 9: are are not out? Is it kind of a week

330
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 9: to week sort of thing with you guys?

331
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 4: We know who we can be.

332
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 10: Were still trying to find our identity, you know, we

333
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 10: still got a meek out, you know, and once Nat

334
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 10: come back and were still all clicking, and we're all

335
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 10: going at once, you know, run game past game, you know,

336
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 10: cause one week like kneak out and Joe here and

337
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 10: then Joe.

338
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm out and niek here.

339
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 10: So I feel like when we all back and we

340
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 10: all get it clicking, like all together and it's Bobby's

341
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 10: clicking and CJ clicking, you know we're gonna be good.

342
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 8: How exciting is that for you?

343
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 10: It's a sighting, you know, just know that the sky's

344
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 10: the limits. So it's very a psychon.

345
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 8: All right, you're two for you, really one and a half.

346
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 8: You're one and a half for you? How are you

347
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 8: better right now?

348
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 10: I feel like I'm the same man. I feel like,

349
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 10: of course you want to get better, but if anything,

350
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 10: I'll just say, like just my playbook, like being more

351
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 10: comfortable on the field than last year. Like last year

352
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 10: I was wide eyed every game, basically wide eyed, like

353
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 10: it calmed down, of course, but I was more like

354
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 10: wilde eye, like rookie, like just trying to make every

355
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 10: opportunity that come to me great. So now I'm just,

356
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 10: of course still on the same thing, trying to get

357
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 10: all my ops and.

358
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: Make it count.

359
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 10: But I'm more calm, like I don't have too much scrass,

360
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 10: you know. I know how to break down film and

361
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 10: what to look for and how to critique of dB

362
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 10: and myself, how to critique myself and get better by myself.

363
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 9: Also, so you talk there about being wide eyed, and

364
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 9: I think it's important to distinguish between being wide eyed

365
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 9: and being nervous because you were never nervous.

366
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 8: You were always confident in yourself.

367
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 10: No, never nervous. Yeah, I was never nervous, I say,

368
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 10: like more wide eyed because just a new experience, experience,

369
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 10: like I didn't know like what to expect, but I

370
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 10: knew what they expect within myself. But like you know,

371
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 10: it's the NFL, you know, interviews post game, in the game,

372
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 10: things like that. I'm just like going with the flow,

373
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 10: like whatever happens happens. But as far as being on

374
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 10: the field, yeah, I was never nervous. I was always

375
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 10: confident in my abilities and our team.

376
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 9: So tell me about this Green Bay Secondary. What are

377
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 9: the challenges that they present? What impresses you most about them?

378
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 10: Very good secondary, Very physical, you know, they're very physical.

379
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 10: Them guys have been around the league.

380
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: They're all older guys.

381
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 10: They've been around the league for a minute, and they

382
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 10: know what to bring to the game. They know how

383
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 10: to get their defense juiced up. And there's some they

384
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 10: great cornerbacks too, you know, Jay, Alexander. You got a

385
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 10: lot of them out there and they're ready to gonna

386
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 10: play football.

387
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 9: So, so be your first trip to lambeau Field to

388
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 9: mean much to you. It's a little different than you know,

389
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 9: some of the other places you guys go to on

390
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 9: a regular basis. What do you think of the stadium.

391
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 4: There, Green Bay?

392
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, man, I've never been, you know, but Steph been

393
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 10: a few times when he was playing for the Bikings

394
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 10: and things like that. He's telling me is a great environment.

395
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 10: So I'm just ready to experience and I'm ready to

396
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 10: get out there.

397
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 8: What do you eat the morning of a noon game

398
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 8: on the road.

399
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 10: Wake up early, you know, get good breakfast, eggs, eggs,

400
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 10: a bagel. Whatever I'm feeling to be honest, whatever they

401
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 10: got it in and I'm feeling like eating and then I'm

402
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 10: just eat it.

403
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 8: All right, folks.

404
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 9: Tank Dell, wide receiver of the Houston Texans, also just

405
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 9: snapped off a nice wrist pass with a basketball in

406
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 9: the locker room to one of his teammates.

407
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 4: Tank.

408
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 8: We appreciate the time best of luck gets packed, So

409
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 8: thank you.

410
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: Mark. Going back and watching last week's game and watching

411
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: all the different angles, the all twenty twos and all

412
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff that I get from our film department,

413
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: it's it was impressive to watch Tank work. He had

414
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: a really good ball game. He did some great work.

415
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: And remember a couple other players where Tank was a

416
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: smidge away from getting another big play, big catch if

417
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: there just hadn't been one defensive line that leaked through

418
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: and CJ had to move like right at that moment.

419
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: And I think Tanks do. For another one, I'm interested

420
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: to see how the Packers go about their coverage situation,

421
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: how many different looks they're gonna show. If they go

422
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: man to man this Gai year, go with Stefan Diggs,

423
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 1: if they do, who does that put on Tank? And

424
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: if they put somebody on Tank, man to man, that

425
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: could end up being fun for Tank. So I think

426
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: Tank ends up being a big He's a big key.

427
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: Last week, either you or Mark said, or you or

428
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: Andre said that during before the game the Tank was

429
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: gonna end up playing a big role in that game

430
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, and he did. I think he could

431
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: have an even bigger game this week against the Packers.

432
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: Well, you tell me, Johnny, will the Texans be able

433
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 3: to hold up in pass protection against this Green Bay front?

434
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: What are the prospects there?

435
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 3: Because we all know we talked about it with Demiko

436
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 3: play action, everybody's been talking about Packer play action. It's

437
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: just a beating the drum, Packer play action, Packer play

438
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: action all day long.

439
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: Gotta watch out for that.

440
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: But with the Texans be able to hold up in

441
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: pass pro so Stroud the conductor can make beautiful symphonic

442
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 3: music with these wide receivers and tight ends and Joe Mixon.

443
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: I it's it's interesting because I kind of think that

444
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots front kind of reminds me a little bit

445
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: of New England's front.

446
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 3: Give me the Packers front.

447
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: The Packers front reminds me of the New England front. Yeah,

448
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how I said that, But yeah, except

449
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: I think the Packers edge guys are a little bit better.

450
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: I think Rashaun Gary is a little bit more of

451
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: a problem. I think when Vans rushes from the outside,

452
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: he can be a little bit of a problem, whereas

453
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots through Jennings, Dietrich Wise not as twitchy, kind

454
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: of long powerful guys. Wise in particular, you know larrm

455
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: Me and Titus handled that pretty well. I think Halfley

456
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: will show a number of simulated pressures. He'll show six

457
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: up from he'll drop two, and it'll just be a

458
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: four man rush. But you're kind of guessing which four

459
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: is it. Is it gonna be a d lineman or

460
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: are they gonna drop the backers. So you got to

461
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: kind of figure that out and feel that out. But

462
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: here's how you can take that stuff away. Run really

463
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: well on first and second down. If you're running well

464
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: on first and second down, and maybe not even just

465
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: running well in first and second down, but when they

466
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: want to play their base defense, go steal five yards,

467
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, throw quick out the staff five yards, second

468
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: and five. Now you're at second in five. Now the

469
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: thought of blitzing is I don't know, not too. Sure,

470
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: I feel good about this second and five, but if

471
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: you get stuffed on first down at second and nine,

472
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: now they're starting to creep towards that incompletion Nelison's third nine. Oh,

473
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna see you're gonna you're gonna see a lot

474
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: of heat. Yeah, you're gonna see some business. As Nukele

475
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: Louse used to say, you're gonna see some serious heat.

476
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: They haven't seen my heat. Well, stay out of that situation,

477
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: stay out of third nine. Uh, pre stat penalties, you

478
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: gotta stay out of those. And I thought the Texas

479
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: did a better job with that.

480
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 4: The other day.

481
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 1: They said that one that I got bossed. I think

482
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: in the third quarter they were trying to figure out

483
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: STEPH went to one side. Then it was kind of

484
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: messed up. That was really the only operation one I remember.

485
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: So hopefully they'll stay away from those things. But I mean, look,

486
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: this is a it's a good Packers defense. Here's the

487
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: other thing I think about the Packers defense. It's a

488
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: little different from the Patriots. They're they're deeper. I think

489
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: they've got more. They can come at you a little

490
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: bit more in waves, kind of like we like we

491
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: do it, especially up front. They can run Gary in there,

492
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: Preston Smith, Lucas van As.

493
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 6: You know.

494
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: They can do some different things with guys up front.

495
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: Now when they go to the second group on the interior,

496
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: they're a little stretched there because don't know what Devonte

497
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: whittt how much he'll be able to go on Sunday.

498
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: So that's that's kind of But they're linebackers. They get

499
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: a bunch of linebackers they could play and they're all

500
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: really fast and really athletic, all right, but but they're

501
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: here's the flip side of that is one's a rookie

502
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: and one kinda is really undisciplined and he's been on

503
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: disciplined for three years, but he's so athletic they can't

504
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: take him off the field. That being quay Walker number seven.

505
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: But man, he is an athlete.

506
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: Not Klaywalker, Quai Waywalker, kaway qua Y quay Walker.

507
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's gonna be it's gonna be,

508
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: uh a stern test, But it's not as if you're

509
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: facing the eighty five Bears of the two thousand Ravens.

510
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 3: No go teams have success against them. Here's what you

511
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: gotta do. Don't turn the ball over that's my mantra

512
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 3: for this weekend. Do not give them the short field.

513
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: That's what they feast on. Number one turnover margin, number

514
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 3: one takeaway team in the league. Do not give them

515
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: these opportunities. Yet you still need to be aggressive, right,

516
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 3: It's just like the play action. You need to stop

517
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 3: the run, but you better be ready. It's just how

518
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 3: about Field of Dreams. You want to go a movie reference?

519
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 3: You went Bulldrm, I'll go Field of Dreams because remember

520
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: when young Moonlight Graham needs the advice at the plate

521
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 3: and Ray Liota shoeless.

522
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 2: Joe Jackson says.

523
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 3: All right, well he's not gonna he's not gonna throw

524
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: you anything to hit here, but also watch out for

525
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 3: in your ear.

526
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: You gotta watch out for in your ear.

527
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: Three people got that. But it's a good one. It works.

528
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: It definitely works. Yeah, And I like the movie references.

529
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: They work the turnover situation. The Packers are on pace

530
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: through six games, they have seventeen turnovers. They are on

531
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: pace for forty eight.

532
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: Not happening. It's gotta slow down.

533
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: Now, and this is the week for it to slow down.

534
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: Look at the detections.

535
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: Even money in the turnover margin department now after being

536
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 3: minus three last week, so you go plus three on

537
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 3: the week, you get back to even money. Let's go

538
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 3: into plus territory this week. Let's get a pick or two,

539
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: maybe strip and play clean, get out of there with

540
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 3: the win, and go plus in the turnover margin as

541
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 3: you face the Colts next week. Look, this is a

542
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 3: tough assignment. It's the NFL. Nothing should surprise you. They

543
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 3: go in there. I'll say this, what happened in Minnesota

544
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 3: happened to these guys. They're well aware of it. Yes,

545
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: now they're going in with a running game in their briefcase, right,

546
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 3: They've got a running game with them. They don't have

547
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 3: Nico Collins, but they have the two backs that went

548
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 3: off last week, and they have to go at least

549
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: three quarters of that this week in order to get

550
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: this victory. I think they don't win unless they run

551
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: the ball.

552
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: Well.

553
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 3: Now, they could get into a wild shootout and not

554
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 3: throw picks and find a way to get out on

555
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 3: top of a game in the low thirties or so.

556
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: It could all happen. But I think you got to

557
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 2: run the ball if you're going to win this game.

558
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: I think the irony in some sense is that the

559
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: Vikings jumped up on both these teams. Yeah, they got

560
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: after both the leaves. Vikings did it in Lambeau. Now

561
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: the Packers did come back in that game, but now

562
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: the Texans, we did not, even though we had some

563
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: opportunities to, we did not. So Texans, some money has

564
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: probably been going to the Texans because the line has

565
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: gone from three to three and a half favoring the

566
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: Packers to two and a half. Going from three to

567
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: three and a half down to two and a half

568
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: for the Packers. Why do you think, what's that? Have

569
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: they read the injury report?

570
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: Do they know?

571
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Vegas, they know everything.

572
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: It's none of the book making.

573
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: The line moves. The line moves based on what people

574
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: are perceiving.

575
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: So people are just buying into the Texans.

576
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: Tex people are buying in Texas. They like that, they

577
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: like them being an underdog of three points, so they're

578
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: taking them.

579
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 3: And as much as Texans fans feel like we don't

580
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: get enough love nationally, the Packers aren't getting anything this week.

581
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 3: Nobody's talking about the Packers this week, and I guess

582
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 3: why would they?

583
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: But no one's talking about them.

584
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 3: This is one of the best games on the schedule,

585
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 3: and there are a bunch of good games.

586
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: This This is a great Sean said through a segment

587
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: which I I don't really get a chance to listen to,

588
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: and I have to go back and find out on

589
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: the Odyssey at But they kind of stack rank the

590
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: games you should be watching at various times, and I

591
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: didn't get to hear it for this week, but my god,

592
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: you start looking at the games. First of all, you

593
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: got a London game, which is always which is always great.

594
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: And then at noon you have Texas Packer, which obviously

595
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: people around here are gonna be watching. But then the

596
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: Packers fans are definitely gonna be paying attention to what's

597
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: going on. Lions Vikings. That's huge in Minnesota, big game,

598
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tremendous game at that time. Then

599
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: in the afternoon you've got Chiefs and forty nine Ers big,

600
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: and then Monday night you got Ravens Buccaneers.

601
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: So we kind of gottam Monday night games.

602
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 3: And the Sunday night game is the Jets at Pittsburgh, right,

603
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 3: Jets at Pittsburgh, And everybody wants to watch the Jets lose,

604
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: at least I do.

605
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't want Russell Wilson to win. Is

606
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: that bad?

607
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 2: Well, how about they win thirteen to ten?

608
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: Okay, that I'd be good with. That, I would be

609
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: good with. I mean, I don't want to see anybody

610
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: get hurt. I don't want to. And look, I really

611
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,239
Speaker 1: don't have a lot against Russell Wilson, but I just

612
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: I don't like how this has gone down in Pittsburgh

613
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: because I just don't think Russell Wilson's got it anymore.

614
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: And I know people throws numbers from last year. I'm

615
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: like that in the same Russell Wilson, and I guarantee

616
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: you he's gonna try and run out of the pocket

617
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: at some point and the Jets are gonna run him down.

618
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: And that used to be his superpower and that was

619
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: that's that's not what he is anymore. So id but

620
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: I want the Steelers to win that game. I'm not

621
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: a closet Steelers fan anyway, shape or for him, but

622
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: I like it when the Steelers win. I think that's

623
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: kind of cool. So I'm going with the Steelers, hopefully

624
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: over the Jets. I do not want to see. I

625
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: do not want to see that Jets experiment work. No, really,

626
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: I want that thing to fail miserably.

627
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: Boy, they're on national TV every week. It feels like

628
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 3: every week.

629
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: I feel like early in the season they're after the bye.

630
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,959
Speaker 1: Every game is at one o'clock game Eastern for them. Yeah,

631
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: so you know what they're thinking, Rogers is gonna get hurt.

632
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: That's right, that that's exactly what they were saying to.

633
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: Watch him as long as he's upright. In fact, the

634
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 3: Texans game with them is a prime game on Thursday night.

635
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 3: Yet another national game for the Jets that's coming up

636
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: a whole lot. That's less than two weeks away. Gosh,

637
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 3: that felt so far away. Two weeks from now, we're

638
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 3: sitting in this studio talking about how it went.

639
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let's hope it goes well.

640
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 3: That's three games from now, Johnny, I know two weeks.

641
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: It's less than two weeks.

642
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: We play them Friday, about three games, I know, two weeks,

643
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 3: and then the team's really gonna need that weekend off

644
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: that many buy. Rest, some people, heal, some get away.

645
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: Hopefully at that point after the Jets game, you start

646
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: getting a few guys back. I think after the Jets game,

647
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: Nico can come back. Hopefully he's healthy to be able

648
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: to do that for Lions.

649
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: Gotta be. He's got to be healthy for that, I hope.

650
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: So, I mean kid that played at Michigan going against

651
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Obviously the will be know Aiden Hutchinson in

652
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: that game. But yeah, we're looking way way far ahead.

653
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: I start getting that game is gonna be really exciting.

654
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,239
Speaker 1: But just that Lions Vikings game, that game will have

655
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: the attention of nearly everybody in that stadium, which is

656
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: going to be very very cool. Going to Lambeau. Now,

657
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: Mark and I've talked about a number of things about

658
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: this game at Lambeau. We're gonna dive in next with

659
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: my keys to the game and get a little bit

660
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: more specific about some of the things we need to

661
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: keep our eyes on and what are the keys to

662
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: will win over the Green Bay Packers. That's next right

663
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: here on Texans All Access. All Right, welcome back to

Speaker 1: Sean Pendergass and Clint Sterner on Sunday evening early evening.

673

Speaker 1: for Clint and Sean. Okay, it's time to get into

675
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: my Keys to the Game, where dive into everything pretty

676
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: much that I can from the game, and I might

677
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: throw in a few things here that we heard throughout

678
00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: the week from the coordinators, especially yesterday. So get music,

679
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: we'd go, and let's talk about the Packers four and two.

680
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: They lost to the Eagles, who I believe are three

681
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: and two in Brazil, thirty four to twenty nine. They

682
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: lost to the Vikings thirty one twenty nine. Vikings are

683
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: five and oh. You'll hear my prediction the Vikings Lions.

684
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they're staying five and oh, but either way,

685
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: they beat the Packers that day. They jumped up big. Packers,

686
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: came back but couldn't do enough. Blah blah blah. You

687
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: know the rest of the story Packers lost at Lambeau.

688
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: Packers won two games with Malik Willis as the starting

689
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: quarterback against the Colts and Titans beat Colts sixteen to ten,

690
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: and Lambeau went to Tennessee and beat them thirty to

691
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: fourteen thanks to will Levis. They went out to Los Angeles,

692
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: gotta win over the Rams. Rams been banged up, but

693
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: just getting a win on the road was good. But

694
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: they look really good in the win over Arizona last week,

695
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: and that really has got people thinking that they are

696
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: a different team. They're great, They've got this, they got that. Well,

697
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: we'll find out on Sunday. But let's get to these keys.

698
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: We'll start with the Packers offense. They average one hundred

699
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: and sixty seven yards per game game on the ground,

700
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: their second in the NFL. Events coordinator Matt Burt discussed

701
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: that with the media. How Josh Jacobs and the Packers

702
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: are really running the ball really well at this moment

703
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: in time.

704
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, obviously, like basically, the i mean the Cruster offense

705
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 11: designed around that. They're top five in a lot of

706
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 11: categories in the run game. I've always thought Jacobs was

707
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 11: really good back, Just really respecting to know him every

708
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 11: time I've gone against him.

709
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: They're doing a really good job.

710
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 11: It's sort of like the start of everything they do

711
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 11: in their offense. I mean, you know, you can talk

712
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 11: about the explosives and where they rank an explosive passing game,

713
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 11: it probably ties in directly a lot to their run

714
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 11: game and having to respect that. So I think there

715
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 11: are things he's really good at at falling forward for

716
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 11: kind of those extra couple of yards and just not

717
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 11: getting knocked back. So they just keep them, you know,

718
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 11: keep them manageable behind the stair, in front of the

719
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 11: sticks and and those sort of things. So a lot

720
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 11: of kind of hitting yards in that run game, so

721
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 11: we've got to be really good at at at being

722
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 11: physical and getting hats the ball to to sort of

723
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 11: stop that for sure, but directly tied into what they

724
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 11: do in the past game.

725
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: So the run game has been absolutely smashing it for

726
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: the Packers. They are tenth in the league get two

727
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: thirty three two thirty four per game in the past game,

728
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: they're over four hundred yards per game, which is fourth

729
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But they have had some turnovers. They've

730
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: had eight six interceptions and two fumbles lost for Jordan Love,

731
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: and that ends up being one of the keys whether

732
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: they can get Jordan Love to throw a few to them,

733
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: and that would be awesome if they could do it.

734
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: So let's get into Let's get into the keys right here.

735
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Love. This guy has gotten better and better and

736
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: better every single time that he's walked out on his field. Now,

737
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: his career in twenty twenty three didn start that way.

738
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: He played well, but not great. He had a lot

739
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: of interceptions. The first I think it was eight games,

740
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: seven game stretch, Love threw eight touchdowns and ten interceptions.

741
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: Packers are two and five and that stretch. Then he

742
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: started cleaning it up. Over the last eight games he

743
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: had one interception. He was allergic to them. He had

744
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and eight point five pass rating in those

745
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: last seven games. They ended up five and chooser. Result

746
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: on to the playoffs, they beat Dallas, et cetera. Jordan

747
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: Love has been fantastic and one of the things that

748
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: he does exceptionally well, which will put a strain on

749
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: the Texans is play action. They're one of the best

750
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: in the league with play action. Matt Burke was asked

751
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: about that. What makes the Packers play action scheme so dangerous.

752
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 11: I would say, going a little bit back to like

753
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 11: they structure everything during the week, right, so a their

754
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 11: run game to marries very well with their past game

755
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 11: and their play action games. So they're giving you the

756
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 11: same looks, the same looks, so it's like run, run, run.

757
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 11: Then all of a sudden you step up and their

758
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 11: space behind you and then the quarterbacks talented, he's got

759
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 11: a good arm. He's not afraid to like put the

760
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 11: ball down the field like sometimes like people don't want

761
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 11: to do all that stuff or hold on to it

762
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 11: and all those sort of things. So I think like

763
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 11: he's willing to take some of those shots and put

764
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 11: the ball up there and trust his receivers, the cadre

765
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 11: receivers to go make play. So I think there's an

766
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 11: element of trust and belief in the system and just

767
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 11: lot launching it. So I mean there's going to be

768
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 11: balls going down the field. I don't think they shy

769
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 11: away from that. And really going back to the basis

770
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 11: of it, like the structure of their motions and shifts

771
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 11: and pre snap stuff that put you on edge and

772
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 11: just try to put you at the sadmitagious positions before

773
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 11: the snap you know, So now you're worried about I'm shifting,

774
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 11: I'm moving to my bumping. Oh ball, snap does it run?

775
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 11: Now it's a pass Like that's how they try to

776
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 11: marry their whole thing up. So trying to keep our

777
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 11: guys eyes in the right places and keep sort of

778
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 11: a calm mind about us will be like part of

779
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 11: like defeating all that because they try to put you

780
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 11: at unease before the snap even happens, you know what

781
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 11: I mean, And then that gets you in like, oh,

782
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 11: I'm stepping up and try to create that space behind you.

783
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 6: So there's a probably a few different factors there.

784
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: So Love is great with the play action, really good

785
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: ball handling. They run it well, as we mentioned earlier,

786
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: but he's got a lot of guys that he can

787
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: get the ball to. He spreads the wealth extremely extremely well,

788
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: and that I think makes it tough because Packers really

789
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: don't have a number one wide receiver. Jordan Love is

790
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: really throwing the ball to guys that are open. Coach

791
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: Burke acknowledged that at his pressure yesterday.

792
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 11: Honestly, I think it probably like lends it back into

793
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 11: our philosophy of like we've got to be good at

794
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 11: what we're doing, because you can't say we're gonna take

795
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 11: this guy away and then that stops the offense obviously,

796
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 11: Like and I would say Matt's done a really good

797
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 11: job of structuring the offense and coaching the quarterback to

798
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 11: like get the ball to where it's supposed to go. Right,

799
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 11: you have a coverage, there's the answer, balls out to

800
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 11: it quick. So I think it sort of almost leans

801
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 11: back into our saying, like, man, we've just got to

802
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 11: run our defense and play our coverage is right, and

803
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 11: be tight when we need to be tight or be

804
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 11: off or we need to be off or whatever that is.

805
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 11: So that yeah, because you're not just focusing on we

806
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 11: got to take a guy out or anything like that.

807
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 11: That's obviously not the case. They're all really good players

808
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 11: and they all do it. I think the structure of

809
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 11: the offense is really good. They do a good job

810
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 11: of just putting those guys in the spots to be successful.

811
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 11: So we can't worry about who's where and which guy's

812
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 11: doing what. We've got to sort of like play our

813
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 11: defense and play our coverage and be right in our

814
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 11: rules and then it should playoff from there.

815
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: But honestly, the game is slowing down for love, and

816
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: because it's slowing down, he's able to find that open guy.

817
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: It would play action, it would screaming towards the running back,

818
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, Andy Wilson, et cetera. He's got a lot

819
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: of open opportunities down the field. Okay, let's get to

820
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: the key number two, and that's the offensive line for

821
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: the Packers. If I were to tell you the names

822
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: Zach Tom, Rashid Wallace, you guys, Rashid Walker, Excuse me,

823
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 1: I don't take it. Basketball Josh Myers, You're like, who

824
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: are those guys? Where's David Bachtiari? That's the name I remember. Yeah,

825
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: this is an offensive line that really is kind of

826
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: put together with a bunch of draft picks outside the

827
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: first round. I mean, they did go get Jordan Morgan

828
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: and he's kind of in and out right guard, but

829
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: they did not put a ton of draft capital into

830
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: this offensive line. And they've gotten great play from this

831
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: offensive line. They are exceptional in the zone game. They

832
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: work very very well together. That's something this offensive line

833
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: for the Texans has got to start doing a little

834
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: bit better. They gotta start working together a little bit better.

835
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: This offensive line has got that down the hole is

836
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 1: greater than some of its parts. On the offensive line

837
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: for the Packers, Texans have to attack that. They gotta

838
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: find some weaknesses. That's gonna be tough. They gotta do

839
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 1: it against a really cohesive offensive line for the Green

840
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. And finally the Magic Men. The Packers really

841
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: don't have a number one wide receiver, but what they

842
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: have there's a couple of guys that really can attack

843
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: you in different ways. You've got Jaden red who if

844
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: you're wondering, okay, who's Jayden Reid, just think Tank Dell

845
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: in Green Gold or this week he's gonna be wearing white.

846
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: You're wearing all their white uniforms up there in Green Bay.

847
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: So if think about Tank and how Tank is used,

848
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: that's how Jayden Reid is used and the type of

849
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: explosiveness that he has. And then you've got Christian Watson,

850
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: who is kind of like Will Fuller but bigger. Just

851
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: down a field, shot play, shot play, shot play. They

852
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 1: are gonna try and find Christian Watson down the field

853
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: and beat this secondary for the Texans. That's gonna be

854
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: key to slow them down and keep those big plays

855
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: in front. Last week, big play Kaysham Boudi against Derek

856
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: Stingley went for a touchdown cut that lead in half

857
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: from fourteen nothing fourteen to seven. So Texans gotta be

858
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: wary of both. Jayden Reed, number eleven, number nine, Christian Watson. Okay,

859
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: let's flip it over to this Texans defense. They're eighth

860
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL against the run, giving up one hundred

861
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: and ten yards per game, but they're getting relatively scorts

862
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: through the air, giving up two hundred and twenty nine

863
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: yards per game. That's twenty fifth in the NFL. Overall,

864
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: they're got a mid level their eighteenth giving up three

865
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine yards per game. But where they

866
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: are exceptional is right there and turnover margins. They go

867
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: attack the football. That is one of the biggest things

868
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: that Texans have to do. They have to protect the

869
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: football because of how good the Packers are taking it away.

870
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: So let's get into the keys with these Packers. Number one,

871
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 1: the reunion. Now, I've always been curious and I love

872
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: the game within the game, Yeah, it's Packers and Texans.

873
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: There's always these matchups that may have played against one

874
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: another before, and in this case, JayR Alexander and Stefan

875
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: Diggs have definitely played against each other and it got

876
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: a little saucy in the game in Buffalo when Digs

877
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: with Buffalo Alexander with Green Bay. Diggs had a great game.

878
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: He really played well in that game, had six catches

879
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: for one hundred and eight yards, but Alexander kind of

880
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,479
Speaker 1: ran his mouth after the game and it became this

881
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: kind of blood feud. If you will across county lines,

882
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: this one is going to be the same. I would

883
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: imagine JayR Alexander may travel with Stevon Diggs and then

884
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: they'll try and figure out what they want to do

885
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: with Tank Dell. That's my guess. So we'll see JayR

886
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: Alexander against Stevan Diggs is worth the price of admissions.

887
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: Stefan has played extremely well and I think he could

888
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: have a big time ballgame for the Texans. But that

889
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: matchup twenty three versus one, that is going to be

890
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: one heck of a matchup. We'll keep an eye on that. Okay.

891
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: Number two I called the Clark bar, and a lot

892
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: of you have had a Clark bar, right, I can't

893
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: remember the last time I've had one, but it's a

894
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: candy bar. But this one. This guy's not a candy bar.

895
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: This guy's an absolute frigging stud and that's Kenny Clark.

896
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: And that really really worries me because Kenny Clark is

897
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: so good upfront. He is a man child, and he's

898
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: been doing it for a long time. He came to

899
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: the league in twenty sixteen, the same year Will Fuller's draft.

900
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: He's the first round pick Clark was of the Packers,

901
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: and he has been playing at that level pretty much

902
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: from twenty eighteen on. That is going to be a

903
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: problem for the interior offensive line. Those guys have got

904
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: to account for ninety seven and they've got to make

905
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: sure that that group up front is taking care of him.

906
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,720
Speaker 1: But they don't take care of Clark. Is a long,

907
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: long freaking day. I mean a long day. And finally,

908
00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: Xavior McKinney. I mentioned earlier that the Packers have seventeen takeaways.

909
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: They're number one to turn over margin in the league.

910
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: There's seventeen freaking takeaways. Zavid McKinney has five interceptions now

911
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: going back and watching each one of the interceptions, a

912
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: couple of the more armed punts, but a couple of

913
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: more exceptional plays where he closed from middle of the field.

914
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: Nothing is free in this game against the secondary. Nothing.

915
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: You might get some and they're twenty fifth in the

916
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: league giving up passing yards, but the Texans are going

917
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: to have to work for it because they make everything

918
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: difficult for the opposing offense. And Bobby Sloweck talked about

919
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: what makes it tough when you face this secondary.

920
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 12: Yeah, they fly around, you know, they know what they're doing.

921
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 12: They're on the details of their defense. I think Halfley

922
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 12: does a really good job, you know, as far as

923
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 12: chematically putting them in the right spots and letting them

924
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 12: go cut it loose and play what they see. When

925
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,959
Speaker 12: they get there. They make the play almost every time,

926
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 12: you know, like every mistake against his defenses costly and

927
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 12: that's in the pass in the run game.

928
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 5: You get loose with the ball.

929
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 12: In the run game, they make you pay. And there's

930
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 12: been a number of fumbles that have been on the

931
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 12: ground this year also, So that's really big for us.

932
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 12: Just our emphasis this whole week has been protect the

933
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 12: ball and how intentional we have to be in doing that,

934
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 12: and how the scout team has to give us great

935
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 12: looks at making sure that we do that in this

936
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 12: game because that's gonna be a huge factor.

937
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be tough, but it's definitely doable up

938
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: in Lambeau, coming up Bow. We got to look at

939
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: this injury report, the status report. It's gory, it's ugly,

940
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. We'll discuss the next

941
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: rou here in Texas All Access. All right, here we

942
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: go so hot, Yes, Welcome back to a Friday edition

943
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: of Texans All Access from the und at Texans Radio Studio.

944
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm John Harris foot Play on a sideline reporter for

945
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: your Houston Texans getting ready to take on the Green

946
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. You just heard my keys to the game

947
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: and I alluded to a few players that are out.

948
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: So each Friday, we got to look at our status report,

949
00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: and I'll be honest, folks, it's not pretty. Now throughout

950
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: the week we have seen the same players pretty much dnps.

951
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: Robert Woods, Jimmy Ward, Henry Toto, Kamari Lassiter fully fought

952
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: acasia Zi's al Shire. Those guys have been DMPs all

953
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: the way along. Now we swapped out a good one

954
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: for a not so good one. And what I mean

955
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 1: by that is on Friday, Steven Simms did not participate

956
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: due to a back issue. He is now questionable. So

957
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: let me start with that one before we get to

958
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: the others. If Steven can't go, he's questionable. Robert Woods

959
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: was probably and well he was the returner against the Bills.

960
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: Stephen returned against the Patriots because Robert was out. So

961
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: if those two guys, and Robert Woods is out with

962
00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: a foot issue, so if Robert's out, Steven's out. Stevens

963
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: li's this question. But if he's out, what will the

964
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: Texans do with their punt returns? This one is first glance,

965
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: you go, okay, it's Tank. Tank's next. But you guys

966
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: know how I feel about Tank returning punts. It just

967
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: always scares me. And plus because you got Nico down

968
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: a receiver, I don't want to take any chances, any

969
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: extra chances with Tank. I like Tank getting punt returns.

970
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: If for some reason he's not getting involved in the

971
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: offense on punt returns, it is a good way to

972
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: get him out of space and kinda get him some confidence,

973
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: do something that I don't mind. But I worry about

974
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: Tank just running back punts, four or five, six of

975
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: them during a game. Oh, there's just so many high

976
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: speed collisions always worries me. So that brings us to

977
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: what if you don't use tank on punt returns, does

978
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: that has been king get the opportunity to move up.

979
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: Do they use somebody else that we're not thinking about

980
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: back on punt returns. The hope is that you generate

981
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: enough punts that you have if you punt returns and

982
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: having somebody back there that's done it before. So this

983
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: is one definitely to watch with Steven Simms questionable with

984
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: a back. If he's able to go, Steven ends up

985
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: being your punt returner like he was last week in

986
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: New England. If not, then okay, it gets kind of

987
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: dicey of what you're gonna do with the punt returners

988
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: at that point, so we'll keep that in mind. Now

989
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: we've already talked about this throughout the week. We talked

990
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: about it with Mark earlier, talked about keys of the game.

991
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: You were without both starting linebackers as he's al Shire

992
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: with a knee, Henry Tote with a concussion. Don't know

993
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: the status of either one of those now. The fact

994
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: that Texas didn't put either one of them on IR

995
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: is maybe a sign that you can get him back

996
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 1: in the next week to two to three, but you'll

997
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: be without your two starting linebackers. So gut tells me

998
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna end up being Neville Hewitt and Jake Hansen linebacker.

999
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,399
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest, I feel very comfortable with both

1000
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: of them. I still think play action is gonna be tough.

1001
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 1: Play action was gonna be tough if it was Disease

1002
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: and Henry in the game. It's gonna be tough with

1003
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: Neville and Jake. But those guys are pretty smart. They

1004
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: both run, they can stop the run. Jake is really

1005
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: good in past defense, very smart. If Neville's got an

1006
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: Achilles heel, its probably in past coverage. But he's as

1007
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: good as brunt stuffer as there is. So your two

1008
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 1: starting linebackers are out. Kamari Lasser is out dealing with

1009
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: that shoulder the injured against the Bills. He is out again. Probably.

1010
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: My gut tells me that maybe one more week for Kamari,

1011
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: that hopefully we can see him against the Jets. Maybe

1012
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: sixt couple weeks, but we'll see. We've got three games

1013
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: eleven days and then who miss o. Jimmy Ward safety

1014
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: dealing with that groin issue, It started with a stinger

1015
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 1: against the Bills. A few drives later it turned into

1016
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: the groin that's been bothering him, I think since last year.

1017
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: So he is out and Robert Woods is out dealing

1018
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: with that foot issue. Now. Foley is was back at

1019
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: practice today on a limited capacity. He's questionable, but that's

1020
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: at least trending in the right direction and we'll see

1021
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: where that ends up going. For the Packers, Devonte Wyatt

1022
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: is out, you know, the ankle issue, their dynamic interior guy.

1023
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: That's a that's a bit of a miss for them,

1024
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: but he's the only guy that's out. Dontavian Wicks wide receiver,

1025
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: and d Lineman Kolbe Wooden with a knee those who

1026
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: are questionable. Everybody else is ready to go on the Packers' side,

1027
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: So I don't want to say they're a fresh unit.

1028
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 1: Nobody is fresh in week seven, but they're not missing

1029
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: four defensive starters like the Texans are missing al Shire, Lassiter,

1030
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: Totoa and Ward. Now, if you look on a positive

1031
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: side of things, as we talked about a little bit earlier,

1032
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: it's the same secondary to face the Patriots, and there

1033
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: were good moments, there were not some good moments, but

1034
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: they at least had experience playing together out on the field.

1035
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: And the guy that was the replacement, d'anselo ross I

1036
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: don't think danseel was responsible for really any bad place

1037
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. Now, this is a different offense that

1038
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: we faced with the Packers. The linebackers, that's the one

1039
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: that we got to keep it eye Devill Hewett and

1040
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: Jake Hansen. If anything changes there, obviously, we'll have it

1041
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 1: for you in the pregame. But the Packers are relatively

1042
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: healthy and that's great for them. It's awesome. They have

1043
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: no excuses if the Texas beat them from injury. Maybe

1044
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: the Texas have an excuse because they've missed so much.

1045
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a tough one on Sunday with

1046
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: that many defensive starters out of this game against the

1047
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. Okay, and we get back, let's talk

1048
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more about this game. It's what we

1049
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: do on Friday, we dive deep into the game. We'll

1050
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: do that with Houston Chronicles Jonathan Alexander. He's been stopping

1051
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: by each and every Friday. We appreciate his time and

1052
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: he will be next right here on Texans All Access.

1053
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: What tapping everybody? Ay, we got one hour left on

1054
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: this Friday Nation to Texans All Access before we go

1055
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: to Green Bay. Leaving tomorrow taking off for Green Bay.

1056
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun trip. Hopefully at the end

1057
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: of it there will be a w for your Texans.

1058
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: We just went through the injury report, which is not

1059
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: already four starters out defensively, both starting linebackers as he's

1060
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: al Shire and also Henry Toatoa in the secondary. Jimmy

1061
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: Ward is out, as is Kamari Lasser. Now, I think

1062
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: kind of saw all those coming. I think throughout the

1063
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,879
Speaker 1: week I was pretty sure that was what was gonna

1064
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,240
Speaker 1: be the case. We kind of had known about Kamari

1065
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: and Jimmy going in, and I saw the shot that

1066
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: Henry took, so I was pretty sure he was gonna

1067
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: end up being out. Aziz was the one. He went

1068
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:28,479
Speaker 1: back in the game with the knee, but you gotta

1069
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: be careful in some sense with that with the knee.

1070
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: Hopefully Assease can get back. None of those guys were

1071
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: put on ir so if there's any good news, it's

1072
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 1: that then you can get them back in the next

1073
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: few weeks and Hopefully you can start getting some guys

1074
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 1: back for this prime time stretch in a few weeks

1075
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: with the Jets and Lines and Cowboys. But that is

1076
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 1: let's talk for another day. To talk today is about

1077
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans and what's going on currently in the NFL.

1078
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: To have that conversation, we brought in our good friend

1079
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,959
Speaker 1: Jonathan Alexander from the Houston Chronicle with.

1080
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 3: Us now in studio. Jonathan Alexander from the Houston Chronicle. Jonathan,

1081
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,720
Speaker 3: ready for a trip to lambeau Field.

1082
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 2: Are you fired up for this one?

1083
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 6: I am.

1084
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 13: This is my first time going to Lolisfield. Yeah, in

1085
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 13: my career, so historic field. Never been there, so I'm

1086
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 13: looking forward to it.

1087
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 3: All right, So the traveling Texans going up too. Where

1088
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 3: are you flying into Give us a little itinerary here, Jonathan,

1089
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 3: because it's hard to get to lambeau Field.

1090
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 13: Yes, So I'm flying in Milwaukee because I heard Chicago

1091
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 13: with three hours okay, definitely didn't want to be doing that.

1092
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 13: So Milwaukee is an hour and a half. So me

1093
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 13: and a couple of other reporters will fly to Milwaukee

1094
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 13: and then we'll drive up early Sunday morning before the game.

1095
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, there's no snow this time.

1096
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah. The only two times we've played at Lambeau

1097
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: in the regular season two thousand and eight one of

1098
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: the coolest games in Texas history, and then a snowstorm

1099
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, So it will not be that. So

1100
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: that's kind of nice. So Jonathan's we get into this game,

1101
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: Packers are four and two. What's the biggest concern for

1102
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: the Texans heading into this one against Jordan Love?

1103
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 13: The Packers, I think really is the various injuries that

1104
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 13: they have on defense. I mean, because he's Al Shier

1105
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 13: and Henry Toytour, those players, both of them have been

1106
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 13: playing at a very high level this season and together,

1107
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 13: and you have to replace him with Neville Hewet, who

1108
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 13: who did a really good job last week, and Jake Hansen.

1109
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 13: But to have those guys out at the same time,

1110
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 13: it's a little bit of a scary situation in my opinion.

1111
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about dealing with Jordan Love your thoughts on

1112
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 2: his development?

1113
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think Jordan Love is one of the best

1114
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 13: quarterbacks in the league right now and paid like it accurate.

1115
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 13: He honestly reminds me a little bit of CJ. Stroud

1116
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 13: in the way they carry themselves, the accuracy in which

1117
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 13: they throw football, and I think he's gotten better even

1118
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,720
Speaker 13: though he missed two games from injury. They added pieces

1119
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 13: around him, wide receiver Jish Jacobs, who's one of the

1120
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 13: best running backs in the league. They're a lethal passing

1121
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 13: They're lethal offense in general. I think fourth in total

1122
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 13: yards and this with Love having missed two games. So

1123
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 13: I think they're a dangerous team and really gonna be

1124
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 13: a tough challenge for the Texans.

1125
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: Who's a bigger threat and this may change depending on

1126
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: who they play, But in your mind, Jonathan, Who's a

1127
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 1: bigger threat for the Texans or what is a bigger

1128
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: issue for the Texans Tackling Josh Jacobs or trying to

1129
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: keep Jade Reid from doing his kind of Tank Dell

1130
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 1: like things.

1131
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think it's both, but I'll go with tackling

1132
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 13: Josh Jacobs. We saw a little bit of a few

1133
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 13: mistackles in the past couple of weeks and trying to

1134
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 13: bring down running backs. That has been the one kind

1135
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 13: of even though they played very well against the Patriots,

1136
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 13: but they were also missing their top running back. They've

1137
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 13: had some hiccups in the running run defense, tank Bigsby

1138
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 13: had a big game, but I think that is where

1139
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 13: the Packers could really get the Texans if the Texans

1140
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 13: aren't on their best game defensively.

1141
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 3: Jonathan Alexander of The Chronicle joining us, how big was

1142
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 3: the win over at New England and your estimation twenty

1143
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 3: point victory their largest margin of victory of the season.

1144
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 3: I know that team has its issues, but what were

1145
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 3: your thoughts walking away from Foxborough that day, Jonathan, I.

1146
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 13: Mean, as we talked about last week, I thought the

1147
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 13: Patriots had a really good defense, underrated defense, and I

1148
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 13: thought the Texans without their most explosive weapon and Nico

1149
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 13: Collins was able to put up forty one points against him,

1150
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 13: I thought that was super impressive. The Texans were looking

1151
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 13: to get a win by more than a touchdown and

1152
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 13: they finally were able to do it. I thought they

1153
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 13: put together almost a full game aside from that second quarter,

1154
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 13: and I thought it just really it was a confidence

1155
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 13: booster for the players. Having talked to them in the

1156
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 13: locker room, they wanted a victory like that and they

1157
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 13: were able to get it. And it was a win

1158
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 13: they were supposed to win, but to do it by

1159
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 13: multiple touchdown twenty points was very impressive considering how well

1160
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 13: the Pagers defense had played, and Drake May had a

1161
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 13: good game too.

1162
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: With Josh Alexander for the Houston Chronicle, Jonathan Joe Mixon back,

1163
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce back. They both have long explosive runs. Take

1164
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 1: those runs away. Maybe the game is not as impressive,

1165
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: but they did get those explosive runs, which is good

1166
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: to see because it's not something that they've done. Your

1167
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,760
Speaker 1: thoughts about that duo being back.

1168
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 13: Yeah, and it's obviously why you saw them fill the

1169
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 13: need to part ways with cam Akers because of the

1170
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 13: faith that they have in Damian Pearson and Joe Mixon

1171
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 13: and those guys are finally healthy. I mean, they changed

1172
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 13: the dynamic of this offense. We saw it the week one.

1173
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 13: We saw it again against the Patriots. The Texans running

1174
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,720
Speaker 13: the football as a recipe for success, especially with Nico

1175
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 13: Collins out, and I think the Texans have to continue

1176
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 13: to do that, especially against the Packers team who leads

1177
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 13: the league in takeaway is at a serious rate with

1178
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 13: seventeen through six games. I think really pounding the football

1179
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 13: with Joe Mixon and then playing off that with the

1180
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 13: play action pass and hopefully they can get some deep

1181
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 13: passes downfield. I think it is how they're going to

1182
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 13: continue to win games moving forward.

1183
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned al Shier, you mentioned Henry, which is tough,

1184
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 3: but they have replaced Vents. It's getting a little thin,

1185
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 3: a little thin linebacker on the d line. They lose

1186
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 3: Mario Edwards with the suspension, but they get the Nico Uchery.

1187
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 3: So how do you think that works itself out along

1188
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 3: with Kurt Heinish.

1189
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, I thought Mario eds was playing at a really

1190
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 13: high level. He was one of the more underrated signings

1191
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 13: in my opinion. I hadn't been aware of him prior,

1192
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 13: but he as a starter. He had won that starting

1193
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 13: role in the offseason and then continue to play well

1194
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:27,720
Speaker 13: at two sacks, de Nico Artre definitely helps fill that void.

1195
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 13: I think you know, he plays obviously outside and inside,

1196
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 13: primarily outside, and he got eleven sacks, so you're adding

1197
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 13: a weapon. I think that really makes the Texans stronger

1198
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 13: on the outside. And I think Tim Settle can step up.

1199
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 13: He's been playing well, has two sacks as well, and

1200
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 13: I don't I don't think the Texans are going to

1201
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 13: miss a beat nowt Obviously they would prefer to have

1202
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 13: Mario Edwards along with that entire defensive line group, but

1203
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 13: I don't think they'll miss so much of a beat

1204
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 13: without him.

1205
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on the cam Akers trade You mentioned it

1206
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: earlier as we talked about mixing and Pierce. Your thoughts

1207
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: about what cam was able to give to the Texans

1208
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: and then moving him ultimately to the Vikings.

1209
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean cam Akers was a clutch signing because

1210
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 13: he was coming off that Achilles teir that he had

1211
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 13: with the Vikings last year, so you didn't really know

1212
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 13: what you're gonna get with him, and he ends up

1213
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 13: making a team and he filled in when they had

1214
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 13: two injuries, two critical injuries to their top backs, and

1215
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 13: he held down the four and the Texas only lost

1216
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 13: one game in that span, So I thought it was

1217
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 13: a good signing. He held it down for the most part,

1218
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 13: and then you see Dara emerge as a viable option

1219
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 13: and cam Akers kind of fell down to four string

1220
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 13: running back and it definitely was an indictment. The cam

1221
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 13: Akers day play also played special teams and is playing

1222
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 13: very well, and I think the Texans seemed to feel

1223
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 13: really comfortable with that running back group and what they

1224
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 13: have right now.

1225
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 3: The coaches and players can't look ahead, but we can.

1226
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 3: So the Colts are in here next week, Jonathan, and

1227
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 3: they've got the Dolphins this week, and who knows what

1228
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 3: happens at quarterback by the time they get here. But

1229
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,959
Speaker 3: if they win and the Texans somehow stumble, the Colts

1230
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 3: are playing for a tie for first next week at

1231
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 3: n RG Stadium. Even with the Texans win and the

1232
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,439
Speaker 3: Colts win, they're thinking, hey, let's get this split. It's

1233
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 3: far from over this division race. Even though Jacksonville looks

1234
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 3: like they're way in the rear view mirror the Titans

1235
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 3: the same thing. The Colts have something going potentially.

1236
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 13: Oh absolutely, I mean I think the Colts. I think

1237
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 13: the Texans are definitely a more talented team, but their

1238
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 13: schedule lines up in their favor. They don't have as

1239
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 13: tough of a schedule aside from the common opponents they have,

1240
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 13: they don't have as tough of a schedule as the Texans,

1241
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 13: and I think that's going to benefit them. And I

1242
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 13: think it could come down to that game that they

1243
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 13: play next week. So right now, Joe Flacco is playing

1244
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 13: really well. Anthony Richardson should come back. I think they're

1245
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 13: starting to click and they're benefiting from a very favorable schedule.

1246
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 13: So the Texans are going to have to get healthy

1247
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 13: soon and play this next stretch, which I think is

1248
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 13: the toughest of the season aside from those two games

1249
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 13: versus Ravens and the Chiefs. I think they're gonna have

1250
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 13: to come out of this stretch with at least two wins.

1251
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 3: Hey, the Dolphins might be really tough by the time

1252
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 3: you play them because maybe.

1253
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: Twas That changes everything. Yeah, it changes everything for that team.

1254
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: It shows you at some point how important two it

1255
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: is to that team. At that point, DeVante Adams traded

1256
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: to the Jets and Maark Cooper traded to the Bills.

1257
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: We talked about Cam Akers, that was the other trade.

1258
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: But those two wide receiver trades. I don't know which

1259
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: one is more important, Jonathan, But your thoughts about each

1260
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: one of them, Which team is served the most served

1261
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: better in some sense with the trade they made for

1262
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: a receiver of the Bills or the Jets.

1263
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think the Jets definitely get better with DeVante Adams.

1264
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 13: But do they make a playoff push. I don't think so.

1265
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 13: I think they still have more issues that maybe haven't

1266
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 13: been revealed yet.

1267
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 5: That is keeping them.

1268
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 13: I mean, they still have a solid defense, but the

1269
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 13: offense is still down. The Bills, though, I thought that

1270
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 13: was a good move if Cooper can stay healthy.

1271
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: Yep, good point.

1272
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1273
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 13: I think Josh Allen needed a star wide receiver and

1274
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 13: Cooper obviously has that ability. We saw that last year

1275
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 13: in the game he played against the Texans in the

1276
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 13: regular season. But you know, he has that issue with health.

1277
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 13: I can't remember the last time Cooper played a full season,

1278
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 13: so it'll be something to watch. I think potentially it

1279
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 13: benefits the Bills the best, but we'll see depending on

1280
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 13: his health.

1281
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 2: All right, what do you have going on on the

1282
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 2: Houston Chronicle yet?

1283
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 13: Tomorrow I'll have a story on will Anderson Junior and

1284
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 13: the rest of the defensive line, but how his leadership

1285
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 13: really helped elevate the defensive line despite losing two key pieces,

1286
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 13: as well as the Texans Insider newsletter which will drop

1287
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 13: at well, which you can find and sign up for

1288
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 13: if you google Texans Insider.

1289
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 3: Google Texans Insider and find it. Houston Chronicle, Jonathan Alexanders,

1290
00:58:58,680 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 3: thanks so much for joining us.

1291
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 5: Thanks for man.

1292
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,919
Speaker 1: Appreciate Jonathan for stopping by. I don't like that trip

1293
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: to Wisconsin, especially at this time of the year. Been

1294
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: there many times, grew up there my first eleven years

1295
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: before I became the Houstonian i am today, But I

1296
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: love Wisconsin. It's fun and that trip Milwaukee's not bad.

1297
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: It's probably an hour and a half, so it'll be

1298
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: a good time for them driving up to go see

1299
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: the Packers. And they're all whites. Their winter is coming whites,

1300
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: and the Texans will be and they're all deep steel blue.

1301
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna look sweet, really sweet on Sunday with the

1302
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: uniform combinations, and hopefully the Texans play sweet against the

1303
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. Now there are a bunch of other

1304
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: games happening in the NFL. We got one in London,

1305
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: We've got a Super Bowl rematch, and the best game

1306
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL, not Texans Packers, will include two NFC

1307
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: North teams. I will pick them straight up and against

1308
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: the spread for fun for fun, and do that next

1309
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: right here in Texas All Access. Oh yes, Sarah, welcome

1310
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: back to Texans All Access. You heard the man. It's

1311
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: time for my prediction, straight up and against the spread,

1312
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: for fun for fun. I'm your host of the show,

1313
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 1: John Harris playing on a sideline reporter reputed excellent game picker. Yes,

1314
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: I have a ninety four percent accuracy, and if you

1315
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: believe that, I got riverfront property to sell you right

1316
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: there in Houston. So yeah, i'd love to think I

1317
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: was ninety four percent. I'm not. But I'd love picking

1318
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: the games. It's also a great way to talk about

1319
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: what's going on in the NFL, and so that's kind

1320
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: of why I do it. A little bit of both,

1321
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: kind of mix it all in and then make a

1322
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: pick at the end. Sometimes they give you a score prediction,

1323
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: sometimes not. Sometimes I just like this team to cover.

1324
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: I like this over. I throw those at every now

1325
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: and again. But I'd love to talk about the games

1326
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: going on in the NFL. So let's get my music

1327
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 1: going and let's rock now. I would be honest Thursday,

1328
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: I would have missed this one. I thought the Saints

1329
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna end up getting this one against the Broncos.

1330
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: That didn't have. The Broncos beat the Saints thirty three

1331
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: to ten. So I will be honest to tell you

1332
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm in one, at least for this week. Broncos jumped

1333
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: all over the Saints. Bonicks doesn't have to do much

1334
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: for this team because they run the ball well, the

1335
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: defense is turning teams over. It's just been kind of

1336
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to say boring football, but you put

1337
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: thirty three up on the board, man, it's not boring.

1338
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: And the Broncos are four and three, so good on them.

1339
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: And do we remember when the Saints were tun oh,

1340
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: because they've lost five straight. Yeah, it got really real,

1341
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: real fast for the Saints. Thirty three to ten, Broncos

1342
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:35,919
Speaker 1: four and three, Saints fall to two and five. Okay,

1343
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: let's talk about the games that now will take place

1344
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: starting at eight thirty Central time right here in Houston.

1345
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 1: It's taking place in London. It's the Patriots and the Jaguars. Man,

1346
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on with this one. You've got

1347
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrences and the Jaguars. After a loss last week,

1348
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: they got pounded by rookie quarterback Kleb Williams and the

1349
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: Bears pounded thirty five sixteen I think it was. Now

1350
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: they go to their home stadium over in London and

1351
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: that's at Wembley and they're taking on the Patriots, who

1352
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: the Texans just pounded forty one to twenty one. But

1353
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: Drake May showed some good things. I can't imagine what

1354
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like. If the Jaguars lose to another

1355
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 1: team led by another rookie quarterback, it will not be

1356
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: a great flight home. The Jaguars are favored by six.

1357
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: They typically play well at Wembley. This is kind of

1358
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: the first time for Drake May and the Patriots to

1359
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: do this whole trip thing to London. I think Jacksonville

1360
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 1: will end up winning this thing by ten. Let's go

1361
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: thirty four to twenty four. Jaguars win this. I don't

1362
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: want it to happen. Don't get me wrong. I don't

1363
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: want it to happen. But it's gonna happen. Jaguars is

1364
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: gonna win and beat the Patriots by ten. Okay, another

1365
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: AFC South team is involved in this one. This will

1366
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: take place at Orchard Park, where the Buffalo Bills's made

1367
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: a move for Mariy Cooper. He will be added to

1368
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: the receiving group. He's ready to go. The Bills are

1369
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: four and two taking on the Will Levis led Tennessee

1370
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: Titans at one and four. Last week, it was a

1371
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: misery for the Titans as they lost to the Colts

1372
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 1: at home. Joe Flacco for the Colts. Backup quarterback for

1373
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: the Colts got a win in Nashville. The Titans just

1374
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: could not get it done. Will Levis through for ninety

1375
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: five yards on twenty seven attempts. I believe it was

1376
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley not happy after the game. They paid him

1377
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: a lot of money not to catch zero passes. I

1378
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: think that will change. But it's a Bills team that's

1379
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: really good. They play exceptional Orchard Park. I'm going Bills

1380
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: to win big. Twenty nine to seven. Yeah, it sounds good.

1381
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: Twenty nine to seven. That's more than eight and a half.

1382
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo gets to win and the cover at home. All Right,

1383
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: the Sakuan Barkley Bowl, here we go. We knew it

1384
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. At some point he left the Giants,

1385
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: he went to the Eagles, and now he goes back

1386
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 1: to Metli for the first time. Giants are two and four,

1387
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: Eagles are three and two. I'll be honest, I think

1388
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: the Giants are a little better than we actually sort

1389
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: of thought they were gonna be. Even at two and four,

1390
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: I think this is the Eagles all the way. Eagles

1391
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: are favored by three. I think they get the win

1392
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: by a touchdown and won't be pretty. I feel like

1393
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: twenty four to seventeen something of that magnitude. Let's get

1394
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: the win to the Eagles. One for Saquon Barkley and

1395
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: John Mara is not gonna be happy. They did not

1396
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: want to see him go to the Eagles, but he

1397
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: is with the Eagles. I think saque we'll end up

1398
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: having a good ball game. Eagles would move to four

1399
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: and two after the win. Up in met Life, Okay,

1400
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: this is one of the games of the day. I

1401
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: think you've got Texans Packers, You've got a Super Bowl rematch,

1402
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,439
Speaker 1: and then you've got this one. The four and one

1403
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions are going to the five and zero Minnesota Vikings.

1404
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: The Lions we're on the road last week at Dallas

1405
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: forty seven to nine. However, they lost Aiden Hutchinson. That

1406
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be trouble for the Lions, especially against the Vikings,

1407
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: the team that's been hot and coming off of a

1408
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 1: bye week. Vikings are five and oh this is a

1409
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: great ballgame. Minnesota is favored by a point and a half,

1410
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: which is telling you basically Vegas believes the Lions are

1411
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: a better football team. I think this could be the one.

1412
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: I think the Lions will crack the code. The Lions

1413
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: will win this thing outright and beat the Vikings up

1414
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: at US Bank Stadium. Circle it small upset, Lions go

1415
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 1: to five and one, knock the Vikings from the ranks

1416
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: of the unbeaten. Will it happened to the other undefeated

1417
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. We'll get to that in a

1418
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: little bit. But Lions win and as underdog they already cover.

1419
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 1: So there you go. Seahawks Falcons taking place in Atlanta.

1420
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: In Atlanta's a three point favorite. You got Kirk Cousins

1421
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: talking about doing his thing and the trap and all

1422
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Who knows whether he knows what

1423
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: that actually is or not, but it doesn't matter because

1424
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: Falcons are playing. It's a pretty good offensive football. The

1425
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Seahawks are coming off a gut punch loss to the

1426
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. They're sitting at three and three. It's

1427
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: a tough trip to take. They're gonna play there at

1428
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 1: one eastern ten o'clock West Coast body time. But we've

1429
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: seen this year that's not really been an impact for

1430
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: West Coast teams. But this is a little different because

1431
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 1: they're facing the highly potent Falcons. I'm going with the

1432
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: Falcons to win this. Falcons are favored by three, which

1433
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: basically tells your Vegas thinks they're even I don't know

1434
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: if I go with that. I think the Falcons are

1435
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: gonna outscore the Seahawks the over runders fifty one and

1436
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: a half. I would go over that. I feel like

1437
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: this is gonna end up being like thirty one twenty seven,

1438
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: thirty four to twenty seven, which will be well above

1439
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: fifty one and a half. Let's go to the Falcons

1440
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: at home to win and cover that three point spread.

1441
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 1: Then Battle of the High Here we go teams that

1442
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: hate each other, the two and four Bengals, the one

1443
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 1: in five Browns. Yeah, those teams aren't doing exceptionally well.

1444
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 1: They were expected to do much better.

1445
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 8: Now.

1446
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow has played pretty well at quarterback. They just

1447
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: can't get a break together way and they haven't played

1448
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 1: well at key times, and the up people with players

1449
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 1: and contracts and all that kind of stuff has been

1450
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: a little something. The Browns, well, they traded Amari Cooper.

1451
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 1: They're sitting one and five, they're playing at home, and

1452
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: their quarterback has not played well. He has been I

1453
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: don't want to say dreadful, but pretty darn close to dreadful.

1454
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's favored by five and a half. I think the

1455
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: key in this game is the Browns do have Nick

1456
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: Chubb coming back, and if I'm Kevin Stefanski and I

1457
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: want to win games, I'm gonna hand the ball to

1458
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: twenty four and I think that's what they will do

1459
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: in this one. I think the Browns get to win

1460
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: at home, surprising the Bengals because Nick Chubb is back,

1461
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 1: not because of what their quarterback is gonna do in

1462
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: this game. So we're going Browns to win and shock

1463
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals, all right. Next one, Dolphins Colts. Dolphins

1464
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: are two and three. They lost to this tough loss.

1465
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 1: They've not played great football without him. They also lost

1466
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips on the defensive side of the ball, one

1467
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: of their star warts. It's been tough sledding for the Dolphins.

1468
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,879
Speaker 1: They will face an Indianapolis Colts team that is bringing

1469
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: back Anthony Richardson but will be without Jonathan Taylor. I

1470
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: really want Miami to win this. Indianapolis is favored by three.

1471
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 1: Vegas thanks to pretty even at that point, putting at

1472
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: three I hate to say it, but I think the

1473
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: Colts are gonna find a way to win this and

1474
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: cover the three. It's gonna be somewhere between four to seven.

1475
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: Miami will stay in the game, but until two it

1476
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: comes back. I just can't trust the Miami Dolphins. I'd

1477
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: love to see head coach Mike McDaniel get that offense

1478
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: going find some different wrinkles. I don't know they're quite

1479
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: there yet. Although I want them to beat the Colts,

1480
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. The Colts are gonna go to

1481
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 1: four and three. They're gonna cut that three at home

1482
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: over the Miami Dolphins. The Panthers are taking out of Commanders. Man,

1483
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: this is awesome. It's number one overall pick Bryce Young

1484
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: versus number two overall. Oh wait, no, that's right, it's not.

1485
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: It's Jaydon Daniel's number two overall pick versus Andy Doll

1486
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:17,760
Speaker 1: and Commanders are favored by nine and a half at

1487
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: home over the Panthers. Panthers are not a good football team,

1488
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,680
Speaker 1: not a good football team, but don't can score a

1489
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: little bit. That might keep it close for a little bit,

1490
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: but the second half, Commanders run away. They win this

1491
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 1: by two touchdowns, Commanders moved to five and two and

1492
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: cover that nine and a half point spread. Okay, Raiders, Rams,

1493
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 1: Here's what I can guarantee you about this game. At

1494
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 1: so far, there will be a minimum of five parking

1495
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:49,800
Speaker 1: lot fights that end up on YouTube. That much. I

1496
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 1: know these teams are not playing well. The Rams have

1497
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: been injury ravaged. The Raiders traded Devonte Adams. Now that

1498
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: might be additioned by subtraction, but they've also been playing

1499
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 1: without them. No is just a guy. Matt Stafford can

1500
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 1: be a stud, but he just hasn't had healthy, healthy

1501
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 1: health around it. Really. Rams are favored by seven. That

1502
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: feels about right. That feels about right. So I'm gonna

1503
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: go Rams to cover. I think it's right said, I mean,

1504
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,759
Speaker 1: I would that would have been my prediction, like twenty

1505
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: four to seventeen something like that. But I think I'll

1506
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: give the Rams the credit. I think they're gonna win

1507
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: this football game. Let's give him the cover. They'll cover

1508
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: that seven, so let's go with it. Okay, super Bowl rematch,

1509
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 1: here we go. Now, the Niners are three and three, well,

1510
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs are five and zero. Yet San Francisco's favored by

1511
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: two at home which I kind of like Vegas is

1512
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: saying that, Yeah, the Chiefs are of a smidge better,

1513
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: but with an opportunity to flip their season. I have

1514
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers winning this football game, covering the

1515
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: two and because I picked the Lions to beat the

1516
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:58,719
Speaker 1: Vikings and now I'm picking the Niners to beat the Chiefs.

1517
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 1: If the text Since win on Sunday, with those two

1518
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 1: predictions holding true, the Texans would be tied for the

1519
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 1: best record in the NFL. That would be pretty amazing

1520
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: if that happened. Niners to win, Niners to cover the two.

1521
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:17,679
Speaker 1: Steelers Jets in Pittsburgh. Russell Wilson will start. Justin Fields

1522
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:19,640
Speaker 1: has handless really really well. I got a feeling that

1523
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: we're gonna see Justin Fields do something in this game.

1524
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. He's gonna do something

1525
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:26,560
Speaker 1: in this game. I got the Steelers winning this The

1526
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: Jets are favored by two in Pittsburgh on Sunday night, Vegas,

1527
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 1: you can blow that one out of your backside. Steelers

1528
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 1: are winning this football game at home. They're gonna send

1529
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: the Jets back home two and five, which will be

01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll up the Cardinals on this one, bouncing

1533
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 1: back after a rough performance in Green Bay. And then

Speaker 1: game between two four and two teams. It takes place

1536
01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay, but the Ravens are hot, and for

1537
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: that reason, I'm going with the Ravens to win this

1538
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 1: game to fab bye three and a half, but the

1539
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 1: Bucks to cover. It's gonna be close. It's gonna be

1540
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: like a thirty one to twenty eight kind of game,

1541
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:11,759
Speaker 1: or Bucks might win outright, So I'm gonna go Bucks

1542
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: to cover, but Ravens to win. All Right, we get back.

01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,559

Speaker 7: and getting to win, and proud for how they handled

1572
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 7: the week right. A lot of times you can fall

1573
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 7: into a low with the team who the record is

1574
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 7: not so great, right they're making changes, It's easy for

1575
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 7: you to fall into a low and kind of fall

1576
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 7: asleep at the wheel and not come out prepared and

1577
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:54,679
Speaker 7: ready to go. So the energy was the big focus

1578
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 7: for me all week, like, come out with great energy.

1579
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,680
Speaker 7: Set the tone like set it hot, stay hot. That

1580
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,759
Speaker 7: was our message. And really proud for how our offense

1581
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 7: started that game, that first drive. That was impressive, Like

1582
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 7: you could tell from the first drive that we were

1583
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 7: in control of the game right, and.

1584
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 4: It looked very easy for our offense.

1585
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,759
Speaker 7: They methodically went down and scored and then the defense

1586
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 7: came out three and out. So had a really good

1587
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 7: feel for how the game was gonna go. But really

1588
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 7: proud of our guys for you know, how they how

1589
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 7: they finished. Everybody made plays all across you know, special

1590
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 7: teams offense and defense played together in a tough place

1591
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 7: to play.

1592
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 4: We played together and got it done.

1593
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: Coach, I always worry about fourteen to nothing against a

1594
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 1: team you're supposed to beat, because everybody's telling you you're

1595
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 1: supposed to beat. I have this thing about as a

1596
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: personal experience with fourteen and nothing, so I was worried

1597
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 1: about that. So they make it fourteen to seven. You

1598
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 1: come out second half, didn't the Neil Hunter gets that sack?

1599
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 1: How big a play was that? You talked about the

1600
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 1: drive being important at the beginning, but how important was

1601
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: to start the have with that the new play getting

1602
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 1: the sack fumble?

1603
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:01,440
Speaker 7: Heah, it goes back to I mean going into halftime

1604
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 7: in that locker room, it was it was not pretty

1605
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 7: and that it was it's a lot of yelling. Guys

1606
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 7: were you know, upset of course because we felt like

1607
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 7: we let them back into the game on on one

1608
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:15,599
Speaker 7: couple plays there, and so I told her we need

1609
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 7: to play like we need to give the offense the

1610
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 7: ball back as quickly as possible.

1611
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:21,360
Speaker 4: And Danil shows up.

1612
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 7: Man around it is gets the ball, sack fumble, best

1613
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 7: playing football. So really man that that sparked our like

1614
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 7: because the temperature was low, it was, I mean the

1615
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 7: energy was low for a minute there coming back out,

1616
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,759
Speaker 7: but Danil he got it right back hot by making

1617
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 7: that play, and our team needed that play. Without that play,

1618
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 7: I don't know how that game goes well at the half.

1619
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,320
Speaker 3: You're gonna say something, But how did it feel to

1620
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 3: you to see your guys upset that they could take

1621
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 3: control of the situation and know this is not good.

1622
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 1: We are going to solve this problem.

1623
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 7: And that's when you know it's the makings of a

1624
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 7: good team, Like when the players take ownership of it

1625
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 7: and they control it and they know like, hey, that's

1626
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,640
Speaker 7: not us, Like we know we're better than that. And

1627
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 7: you get into positions where one side, like the defense,

1628
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 7: feels like, oh, they're letting the offense down.

1629
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 4: And when you.

1630
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 7: Feel that way, you got to go out and do

1631
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 7: something about it and not just talk about it. And

1632
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 7: our defense they stepped up. They went out and did

1633
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:17,719
Speaker 7: something about it to really spark our entire team.

1634
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:19,719
Speaker 1: The amount of time that we've talked about this, coach,

1635
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: I this hit me this morning as I was driving

1636
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 1: up here. So I'm gonna ask you the trip to Ohio.

1637
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 1: Are you seeing that trip to Ohio with camaraderie and

1638
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: chemistry kind of manifest itself in those moments where guys

1639
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: are around each other, They're much more comfortable each other,

1640
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 1: so they might say some things that maybe they wouldn't

1641
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: because they spent that time together. How much does that

1642
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 1: trip to Ohio sort of manifested itself with this team.

1643
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, it definitely has manifested itself in that manner where

1644
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:51,879
Speaker 7: you see, you know, it's not separate. It's offense defense

1645
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 7: like guys would talking, Hey, we got you, don't worry

1646
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 7: about it, like offensive guys talking to the defensive guys.

1647
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 7: And we're all together as one. And that does go

1648
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,759
Speaker 7: back to our trip and guys being able to spend

1649
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 7: that valuable time just bonding in a hotel room.

1650
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 4: Nowhere to go, like really getting to know each other.

1651
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 7: So now when you go out and play, it's not

1652
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 7: just oh, I'm do my job and like, no, I'm

1653
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,680
Speaker 7: doing this for the team. It's that team first mentality.

1654
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 7: I'm doing this. Everybody talks about the family atmosphere of

1655
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 7: a team, but I'm doing this for my brother across

1656
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 7: from me.

1657
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 3: All Right, one more macro kind of thing here. You

1658
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 3: mentioned energy and you said before no energy vampire, don't

1659
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:30,640
Speaker 3: want them around. You can't be an energy vampire and

1660
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 3: work for you. So how do you determine whether somebody

1661
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 3: has that juice or not?

1662
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 2: How do you go about that?

1663
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 3: Coach?

1664
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 4: I just go about it, you see? How for me?

1665
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 7: How guy walk into the meeting room, right, you can

1666
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 7: tell instantly, like if a guy's upbeat, we have and

1667
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 7: then it goes to our video.

1668
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 4: Guys, they're playing the.

1669
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 7: Right music when we walk into the meeting room. That

1670
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 7: kind of sets the temperature as well, like we always

1671
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 7: want things upbeat, we want we want to.

1672
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 4: Keep the energy up.

1673
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 7: But how guys walk in, you kind of tell how

1674
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 7: a guy's day is going.

1675
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 4: Hey, you may need to say something.

1676
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 7: To this guy or pull him to the side to

1677
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 7: lift his spirits a little bit, because I mean, I

1678
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,680
Speaker 7: try to walk around be as energetic as possible, but

1679
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 7: I also understand that everybody has life going on outside

1680
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 7: of here, right, and the things happen right with families

1681
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 7: other like, so a matter of just man communicating with

1682
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 7: guys right, being like making sure if you see something off,

1683
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 7: just go to them, Hey, what's going on? Like how

1684
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,679
Speaker 7: can we help you? And that's what it's all about.

1685
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 7: It's just a matter of serving. When you see somebody's

1686
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 7: energies a little low, man, that's when you jump in, like,

1687
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 7: how can I help you?

1688
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 4: How can I raise that energy level?

1689
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 1: Coach Back in Week one against the Colts, Joe, I

1690
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 1: think Joe's longest run was with thirteen yards, mark, is

1691
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 1: that what it was?

1692
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 11: Like?

1693
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 3: Thirteen yards?

1694
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:44,439
Speaker 6: It was?

1695
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 1: It was kind of chunks. It was seven eight six five.

1696
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean it was kind of chunks. How important was

1697
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: it yesterday to show? Okay, the explosive running ability is

1698
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,679
Speaker 1: still there? But both he and Damien hit one fifty

1699
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 1: nine and fifty four.

1700
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 4: Wow. I mean you go in you know you talk

1701
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 4: about out it all the time.

1702
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,679
Speaker 7: Man, if we just get our hat on this hat

1703
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 7: and we get this lane like we can but we

1704
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 7: got it yesterday, and to finally see it, I think

1705
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 7: for everybody, like the confidence that that builds for.

1706
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:14,720
Speaker 4: The entire for the entire team, like we I get

1707
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 4: in the meeting. I'm talking about old line.

1708
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 7: If you just get this one block, if the receiver

1709
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 7: just blocked this guy, like see where.

1710
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 1: We can go?

1711
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 7: We got it yesterday and like on Joe's run, I

1712
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 7: think the old line did a great job. Our tight

1713
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 7: ends were good. But you watch it. Watch STEP's block

1714
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 7: on the corner. I think that's what pops Joe through.

1715
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 7: You watch Damien's run, like we got a hat on

1716
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 7: the hat, but Damien breaks two tackles from a d

1717
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 7: lineman and a safety and he's I mean, he's playing physical,

1718
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 7: playing downhill. So man, I'm so happy for both of

1719
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 7: those guys to coming off of injury as well. Coming

1720
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 7: off of injury, you kind of expect guys always will

1721
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 7: be their game just to kind of get a feel

1722
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 7: and get back into it. No, they came out playing physical,

1723
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 7: playing explosive, and two of our longest run since I've

1724
01:19:59,200 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 7: been here.

1725
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 3: Well, it's not a different team, but it changes the

1726
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 3: team to get those guys back right because you rush

1727
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 3: for nearly two hundred yards in a game where we

1728
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 3: don't have a Nico Collins.

1729
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 2: But look at us, now we can do this.

1730
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 7: I say this, players matter, like at the end of

1731
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 7: the day, Like we can coach it up as much

1732
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:19,639
Speaker 7: as we want to, but always tell our coaches don't

1733
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 7: forget like players make plays right. And just for coaches,

1734
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 7: it's our job to put our players in positions so

1735
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,719
Speaker 7: they can make plays right, design it in a proper

1736
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 7: way so they can just go out and do what

1737
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 7: they've been doing their whole life with their God given

1738
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 7: ability and go out and make the plays they make.

1739
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 1: Coach, one of the things I always think about as

1740
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 1: a coach and I know when I was coaching, one

1741
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 1: of my favorite things was you work on with a

1742
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: player with whatever kind of you're catching the football, run

1743
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 1: the ball, making a block, some fundamental aspect of it,

1744
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: and then they take it and carry it forward to

1745
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:55,400
Speaker 1: a game and they see it and al sudden it's

1746
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: like WHOA like seeing their eyes light up when they

1747
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 1: realize that what you taught them they use. I thought

1748
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 1: of Will Anderson yesterday because Will with three different kinds

1749
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 1: of moves to get to the quarterback, things he's been

1750
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: working on with the coaching staff, he gets to the

1751
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 1: quarterback and makes those plays. How cool is that for

1752
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 1: you and the coaching staff to say, hey, look at

1753
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 1: fifty one. He works his butt off. He's taking the

1754
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 1: lessons we've taught him, and now it's manifesting itself on

1755
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:22,719
Speaker 1: the field and sacks and numbers and all that stuff.

1756
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 7: That's so beneficial, right for all the players when you

1757
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,920
Speaker 7: can put the film on and you can see, hey,

1758
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 7: especially man, shout out. I can't do this without shouting

1759
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 7: out right. Our d line coaches, all right, Coach Rod

1760
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 7: and Coach Nate like the work that they put in

1761
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 7: with our defensive line and working with Will and all

1762
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 7: of our guys, but they consistently been talking about, hey,

1763
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 7: get separation, get separation at the top of your rush,

1764
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 7: like let's not go down the middle, not be down

1765
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 7: the middle. And to finally see that happen, and I

1766
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 7: think for all the d line like to see Will

1767
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:59,600
Speaker 7: not go down the middle, use different moves, but it

1768
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 7: was just a matter of getting separation. Like to keep

1769
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 7: it in Layman's term, gets separation. He got separation at

1770
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 7: the top of the rush. He's able to finish on

1771
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 7: a quarterback. So as a coach, you go back and

1772
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 7: when you put a tease tape together, you show the

1773
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 7: rushes that a player had when he's running down the middle,

1774
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:19,520
Speaker 7: and you show the drills of working the extension and separation,

1775
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:21,720
Speaker 7: and then you back it up with the tape from

1776
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 7: last week of Will actually putting it to use in

1777
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:27,599
Speaker 7: a game and making those plays very cool.

1778
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 3: I want to talk about Stefan Diggs for a moment here, coach,

1779
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 3: because he's top five in the league in receptions and

1780
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 3: it seems it's not quiet, but you know, Nico still

1781
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 3: leads the league in receiving yards and he hasn't played

1782
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 3: the last six quarters of available football, and you have

1783
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:43,719
Speaker 3: Diggs doing this on the other side, you have Tank

1784
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:44,759
Speaker 3: making plays yesterday.

1785
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 2: It's happening all over the place.

1786
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 7: Really, yeah, it is, and it's impressive. I didn't know

1787
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 7: that about Steph, But now that you say that, I'm

1788
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 7: just thinking about plays that man. Every time he's the

1789
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 7: ball is thrown to him some type of way, he's

1790
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 7: catching it right, really great hands, reliable And then you

1791
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,599
Speaker 7: got me. Man, that's what Steph has done for his

1792
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 7: entire career. But I'm happy it's in some of the

1793
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 7: plays that he makes. It's their big moments in the game,

1794
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 7: their third down plays when he's making some really tough

1795
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 7: catches and CJ is doing a great job finding that

1796
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 7: connection with with stuff.

1797
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 3: It looks like he's reacting too. I saw him when

1798
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 3: mixing out the touchdown run. He's so happy he's running

1799
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 3: down the field towards the end zone with him.

1800
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's another guy who's a he's an energy provider,

1801
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 7: Like he provides energy to our team and he is

1802
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 7: passionate about the game. He's passionate about winning and that's

1803
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 7: what jumps off and it kind of permeates throughout our

1804
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 7: entire team. You see the way Steph is passionate about

1805
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 7: just getting the block, not only just him making the catches,

1806
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,680
Speaker 7: but he's excited about other guys making a place to think,

1807
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 7: he's if we score a touchdown, he's going to be

1808
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 7: down there celebrating somewhere.

1809
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: There's a selling down there for sure. Okay, you can

1810
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: you can admit it now. How tough were the last

1811
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks when you weren't really getting the turnovers

1812
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 1: that you had the prior year. Earlier in the year,

1813
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 1: you get four yesterday, you feel kind of like, oh, okay,

1814
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 1: felt yeah.

1815
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 7: We talked about them coming in when they come and

1816
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 7: come at bunches, and man, that was a sigh of

1817
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 7: relief because you see it's not only the takeaway, right,

1818
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 7: we want to take the ball away, take it away,

1819
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 7: but you see what it does with field position and

1820
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 7: how it just completely changes the game our offense starting

1821
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:29,599
Speaker 7: to starting with the ball already on the opponent's territory. Like, man,

1822
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:32,640
Speaker 7: we got points. That's the biggest thing. Like get takeaways,

1823
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 7: but to get points off of takeaways, that's when you

1824
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 7: can run away with the game. So proud of all

1825
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:39,720
Speaker 7: of our guys the way we attack the ball, like

1826
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 7: let's have another four piece week.

1827
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, all right, So Green Bay, what are we

1828
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 3: thinking here? This is a really good team. They throw

1829
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 3: the ball extremely well with your.

1830
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, really really good team.

1831
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 7: Watching these guys on film like this will be, you know,

1832
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 7: our toughest opponent you know, so far this year. Like

1833
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 7: with the quarterback Jordan Love, very impressed with his bill,

1834
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 7: his playmaking ability, Like he can throw the ball over

1835
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 7: all over the field, but he's very accurate as well.

1836
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 7: So he had a lot of a lot of playmakers

1837
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 7: all across their their team, young young team, all right,

1838
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 7: young team. They play the game the right way so

1839
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 7: and they're explosive. So we got to make sure for

1840
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 7: us when I look at the defense side, like, man,

1841
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:21,880
Speaker 7: we we have to be where we're supposed to be

1842
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 7: and make the players we're supposed to make the ball.

1843
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 7: It's going to be up a lot of contested throws.

1844
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 7: We have to be able to come down with the

1845
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 7: ball or you know, bat the ball down. Then the

1846
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 7: other side of their defense, they've been very opportunistic like that.

1847
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 7: I think they've gotten two or more turnovers in every game.

1848
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,680
Speaker 7: So they're attacking the ball and they've been consistent with

1849
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:43,600
Speaker 7: it every single week. So offensively, you know, not that

1850
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 7: we're doing something different, but our mindset we have to

1851
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 7: protect the ball we have.

1852
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 4: We cannot give.

1853
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 7: These guys the short field, so we just it's going

1854
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 7: to be a challenge for us to see, like, Okay,

1855
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:57,479
Speaker 7: where are we as a team going against a true

1856
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,040
Speaker 7: playoff team from last year? You know they had a

1857
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 7: good run in the playoffs. So it's a matter of hey,

1858
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 7: where are we right now at this point early in

1859
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 7: the season.

1860
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 1: Okay, So how glad are you that this game is

1861
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: in October and not in December? And be Lambofield does it?

1862
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of history in that. I

1863
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:16,679
Speaker 1: know you you know you love the history of the game.

1864
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: We've talked about that a little bit. But how cool

1865
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 1: is it to play a Lambo?

1866
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,759
Speaker 7: It's for me, it's it's one of the coolest places

1867
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 7: to play in the NFL. It's just the aura when

1868
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 7: you just just drive up to the stadium, like you're

1869
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 7: just driving through this small community and then bam, out

1870
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 7: of know where a Lambo pops up. So it's always

1871
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 7: a special place to play. I think I feel that

1872
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:41,800
Speaker 7: every time I have played in that stadium or coach

1873
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:44,559
Speaker 7: in that stadium. It's just it's a different vibe, it's

1874
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:47,600
Speaker 7: a different feeling, and it'll be a special moment for

1875
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:49,760
Speaker 7: our guys. And I want to want our guys to

1876
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 7: understand that. Like you talk about football history and the

1877
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 7: greats of football, like in lambeau Field, how special is

1878
01:26:57,920 --> 01:26:59,600
Speaker 7: it going to be to go get a win in

1879
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:02,559
Speaker 7: Lambol Like it's one you'll always remember.

1880
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 4: And I want our guys to have that on their

1881
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 4: minds this week.

1882
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:06,640
Speaker 3: Well, I know you have big team meetings where you

1883
01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 3: show a lot of videos. So there's videos somewhere in

1884
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 3: this building of you sacking Aaron Rodgers at lambeau Field

1885
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 3: in two thousand and eight. You had nine tackles in

1886
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 3: the game Texans wanted. You know, I know you don't

1887
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,639
Speaker 3: like the Reminists, but I do. Do you remember that game, coach?

1888
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 1: Oh? I do?

1889
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 4: I remember that game? That was a fun one like

1890
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 4: Chili like gay. It was a little chili.

1891
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 7: Yeah get like you said, we get the benefit of

1892
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:30,680
Speaker 7: it being a little warmer October, so a little bit

1893
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 7: better for us. But always remember you know that game there.

1894
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:37,640
Speaker 7: So like again, Lambo is just unlike any other and

1895
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 7: so and they've always played really well and They've always

1896
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 7: had good teams there in Green Bay, so huge challenge, right,

1897
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:47,280
Speaker 7: and hopefully will.

1898
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 4: Can get them some more sacks. Not my little one

1899
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:52,720
Speaker 4: sack that doesn't matter to see. We'll go get three

1900
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 4: more this week.

1901
01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 1: So, coach, we reached that kind of point in the

1902
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,840
Speaker 1: year where it feels like the injury report should be

1903
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 1: on two pages as posed to one. Guys are getting

1904
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 1: beat up, banged up, they're playing with it, some guys

1905
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,679
Speaker 1: obviously can't, and all that kind of stuff. This point

1906
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 1: of the year really kind of tests the depth of

1907
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 1: a supposed of your team. So from that aspect, how

1908
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:15,840
Speaker 1: you kind of feel about the depth We talked about

1909
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:18,720
Speaker 1: disease and Henry getting banged up. Neville had to go

1910
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 1: in there and did some good things. Jake went in

1911
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:22,479
Speaker 1: there at the end of the game, not just at

1912
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 1: that position, but just the overall depth of your team

1913
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 1: right now where it is. How do you kind of

1914
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 1: feel about that?

1915
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, I feel I feel good about our depth, right.

1916
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 7: I think our guys work the right way, and you

1917
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 7: know you can our guys been with us. They're here

1918
01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 7: for a reason, right, And it's that moment where you

1919
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:42,640
Speaker 7: know backup players have to step in and they have

1920
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,040
Speaker 7: to make a name for themselves. So it's opportunity for

1921
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 7: guys to step up and make those plays. And that's

1922
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,680
Speaker 7: how I always see it, like do the most with

1923
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 7: the opportunities that you're giving.

1924
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 4: And I think our guys will do that.

1925
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,479
Speaker 7: But this is a as you mentioned, it is a

1926
01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 7: tough like I look at it as a three week

1927
01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:00,400
Speaker 7: stretch here like this, you know you're looking for that

1928
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:03,600
Speaker 7: bye week. It's a long ways away, but you know,

1929
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 7: I look at you get a little mini by after

1930
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:08,639
Speaker 7: the Thursday night game versus the Jets. So this three

1931
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 7: week stretch here is going to be important for us

1932
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:13,560
Speaker 7: to be as healthy as as possible.

1933
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:16,559
Speaker 4: Right whoever's available, we got to find a way.

1934
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 7: And that's the main point for these next three weeks,

1935
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 7: like we had to find a way to gut out

1936
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,000
Speaker 7: some wins versus some really good teams.

1937
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 3: The longer you coach, do you adjust the way you

1938
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,599
Speaker 3: handle practice as far as this time of year versus

1939
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 3: earlier versus later? Have you changed that? Are you going

1940
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,680
Speaker 3: to change that at all? How do you go about that?

1941
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:36,679
Speaker 4: Great question?

1942
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:36,880
Speaker 1: You?

1943
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 7: For me, I adjust on a weekly basis off of

1944
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 7: like how was the game? This is the past game

1945
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:45,599
Speaker 7: that we played or how many guys we have will

1946
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 7: soar beat up.

1947
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 4: So right now our practice structure will.

1948
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 7: Change a little bit where we're doing more walk through

1949
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 7: type practice on a Wednesday to let guys get themselves

1950
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:57,800
Speaker 7: back and the guys who would be out, you allow

1951
01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:00,799
Speaker 7: them to steal go out and get some mental reps

1952
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:03,360
Speaker 7: because it's walked through and it's not a fast paced tempo.

1953
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:06,519
Speaker 4: Thursday. Thursday is workday. Thursday, we're going to put the

1954
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 4: pads on.

1955
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 7: You gotta put the work in, So that'll be that day,

1956
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 7: and then Friday we pull back on the guys as well.

1957
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 7: We do one full speed period and then we'll have

1958
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:18,719
Speaker 7: a jog through for the last three periods of practice.

1959
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 7: So making sure at this point in the season, just

1960
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,479
Speaker 7: make sure I know our guys know how to play

1961
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 7: like And that was a big thing for me last year,

1962
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 7: teaching guys how to practice, how to work like what's

1963
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 7: our swarm mentality, how the Texans play football. Our guys

1964
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:36,599
Speaker 7: they rep our style on game day. So for me

1965
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 7: it's a matter of not just trying to teach that

1966
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:41,880
Speaker 7: or get that during the week, but can our guys

1967
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,000
Speaker 7: show up fresh and ready to go on Sunday, so

1968
01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 7: they can rep textan brand of football.

1969
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 1: How your young players seeming we have adapted to that

1970
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 1: pretty well, Kayln Kamari when he's been in there. How

1971
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:55,599
Speaker 1: your kind of rookies, your young dudes kind of taken

1972
01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 1: it as well. Blake got a lot of raps yesterday,

1973
01:30:57,400 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 1: left tackle Holiday kind of taken to that style.

1974
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 4: Cod young guys that they fit right in.

1975
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:03,599
Speaker 7: I think it also goes back to the draft process,

1976
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:06,439
Speaker 7: so you get like the type of guys that you're getting, Like,

1977
01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:10,479
Speaker 7: you want to get guys who have a tremendous work ethic, right,

1978
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:13,519
Speaker 7: and guys who are physical. So you when you get

1979
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:15,759
Speaker 7: those guys on tape, you don't have to strain yourself

1980
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:17,439
Speaker 7: as much as trying to teach the guys say this

1981
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 7: is how we finished. This is like, no, this is

1982
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:22,040
Speaker 7: who you are, right, And it makes it easy for

1983
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:22,720
Speaker 7: guys to fit in.

1984
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:25,599
Speaker 3: When you were with Chip Kelly, was he using that

1985
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 3: practice hard on Saturday and not so hard on Friday,

1986
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:30,920
Speaker 3: more of a walk through Friday or reverse of what

1987
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:31,880
Speaker 3: a lot of coaches do.

1988
01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, Chip hadded reverse, and I was it was very

1989
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:38,240
Speaker 7: beneficial being under Chip Kelly. And when the start of

1990
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:40,960
Speaker 7: sports science coming into play in the NFL. Is happy

1991
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,080
Speaker 7: to be a part of that. And Chip had what

1992
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 7: we call it was no sweat Friday. So it was

1993
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:49,040
Speaker 7: just true like walk through, but you would like walk through,

1994
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:53,040
Speaker 7: but he didn't want anybody to sweat, and so you

1995
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:55,640
Speaker 7: no sweat Friday. And then Saturday was more of a

1996
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 7: prime day. So Saturday day before the game, I mean

1997
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:01,719
Speaker 7: we would do spec teams. Guys were doing full cover

1998
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:02,719
Speaker 7: special teams.

1999
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:03,599
Speaker 5: Uh.

2000
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 7: If you weren't involved in special teams, you were doing

2001
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:08,840
Speaker 7: sprints through the ends of like fifty yard sprints through

2002
01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:10,840
Speaker 7: the end zone just to prime your body. You had

2003
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 7: a lift in the weight room where you're doing some

2004
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:17,720
Speaker 7: clean pools, snatches, some jump squads, like it was a

2005
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:19,720
Speaker 7: lot to just prime the body and get you going.

2006
01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:22,439
Speaker 7: That was his you know, philosophy to have you ready

2007
01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 7: for game day.

2008
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 1: How I asked this, is it surprising that that hasn't

2009
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:30,760
Speaker 1: kind of caught on a little bit more throughout the league,

2010
01:32:30,800 --> 01:32:32,640
Speaker 1: because I don't know that there are teams that do that,

2011
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 1: or is it surprising that hasn't caught on?

2012
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:37,800
Speaker 4: Coach, Yeah, not surprising, It wasn't. I wasn't very fond

2013
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 4: of it when we were doing it.

2014
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 7: It's not surprising that it hasn't caught on because it's

2015
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 7: just how guys just work. I think you know you

2016
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 7: work for you work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday is just a

2017
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 7: matter of getting the mind right and letting the body recover.

2018
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:55,880
Speaker 4: So man, guys are pros. They know what it takes

2035
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:37,800
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. It's either you take your kids

2036
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:40,439
Speaker 1: candy or you go into the film room where all

2037
01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:42,760
Speaker 1: those guys are. They got a whole table. I walked

2038
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:45,200
Speaker 1: into the Datacy Tommy, and I'm like, they got candy

2039
01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:45,759
Speaker 1: for days.

2040
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:49,720
Speaker 7: They got too much junk foodles got to get that stuff.

2041
01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 3: Just out of there, which thanks a lot of good luck,

2042
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:52,200
Speaker 3: Thank you guys.

2043
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, Tommy, the guys over the film room, they

2044
01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:56,880
Speaker 1: got so much over there. I walked in the other day,

2045
01:33:56,960 --> 01:34:00,080
Speaker 1: literally I stopped in my tracks and I was like,

2046
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:02,360
Speaker 1: oh my god. I mean, it was a table full.

2047
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 1: But then again, there's so many times I'm looking for

2048
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:07,439
Speaker 1: a snack, I can never find one. So I gotta

2049
01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:09,000
Speaker 1: get in good with those guys. Get a little candy,

2050
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:11,800
Speaker 1: little snack, a little junk food every now and again.

2051
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:14,639
Speaker 1: But those guys are great. Tommy is such a great dude,

2052
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,479

2072
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:17,360
Speaker 3: All Right, Texans, here we go. It's a bonus hour

2073
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:21,479
Speaker 3: of Texans All Access. Huge weekend in NFL football for

2074
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 3: your Texans. Going to Green Bay lambeau Field. Only the

2075
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:29,640
Speaker 3: third ever visit in franchise history regular season. There have

2076
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 3: been two preseason visits. There always fun to go. I

2077
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 3: recommend being on this trip at some point in your

2078
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:38,719
Speaker 3: life if you can possibly do it, especially in the preseason.

2079
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:40,479
Speaker 3: Gives you a lot of time to stretch out, go

2080
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 3: around lambeau Field, check out the Hall of Fame and.

2081
01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:43,280
Speaker 2: The rest of it.

2082
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 3: But anytime is a good time, anytime of year, whether

2083
01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:49,560
Speaker 3: it's early, whether it's fall foliage peak season like now maybe,

2084
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:52,599
Speaker 3: or even in December when it's cold, because hey, it's

2085
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:53,719
Speaker 3: the frozen tundra.

2086
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:54,120
Speaker 6: Right.

2087
01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 3: Well, let's get to some great content that we've had

2088
01:35:57,160 --> 01:36:00,760
Speaker 3: throughout the week. And Nick Cassario, executive vice president and

2089
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:03,639
Speaker 3: general manager, knows all about the history, knows about all

2090
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:06,880
Speaker 3: of it. As the Texans venture to lambeau Field looking

2091
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:08,080
Speaker 3: for win number six.

2092
01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:11,639
Speaker 2: Our visit with Nick, I.

2093
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:13,320
Speaker 3: Know we have to talk about green Bay, but let's

2094
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:15,880
Speaker 3: review New England. Got the job done in a big,

2095
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:17,599
Speaker 3: big way, biggest win of the year really.

2096
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:20,280
Speaker 14: Score wise, Yeah, for the most part, played well, got

2097
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 14: off to a good start to possessions to score. So

2098
01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:24,439
Speaker 14: one of the things we want to do is try

2099
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:26,240
Speaker 14: to get off to a good start, so offensiving and

2100
01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:29,240
Speaker 14: defensively so we're able to capitalize there. A little bit

2101
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 14: of a low there in the second quorder, probably an

2102
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:33,599
Speaker 14: execute as well as we needed to in the third quarter,

2103
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 14: kind of swung the game there with the turnovers, but

2104
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:38,120
Speaker 14: you know, taking the ball away, something that we hadn't

2105
01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:40,160
Speaker 14: done for a little bit. But the takeaways were a

2106
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:41,519
Speaker 14: big part of the game, and we were able to

2107
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:44,400
Speaker 14: convert those takeaways into points. So we're able to play

2108
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:47,880
Speaker 14: complimentary football against a good, young football team that made

2109
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:49,760
Speaker 14: some plays. So in the end, you know, made enough

2110
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:52,240
Speaker 14: plays and did enough good things and we're able to

2111
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 14: come out with the victory.

2112
01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:55,360
Speaker 1: Nikki did a few things that you, like, you said

2113
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:57,320
Speaker 1: that you haven't done. You got the four turnovers. You

2114
01:36:57,320 --> 01:36:59,880
Speaker 1: haven't been getting the turnovers but still winning games, but

2115
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 1: hanging got the turnovers, explosive run game fifty nine yard

2116
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,719
Speaker 1: or fifty four yard or twenty yard Joe Mixon run,

2117
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: and then you score forty first time they've been done

2118
01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 1: since day after Christmas twenty twenty one. I know, those

2119
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:13,240
Speaker 1: aren't goals you go in and you say, okay, we're

2120
01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 1: going to do these things. But how good was it

2121
01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:18,519
Speaker 1: to reach those kind of goals that you haven't been hitting.

2122
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:19,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's interesting.

2123
01:37:19,479 --> 01:37:22,000
Speaker 14: Takeaways sometimes come in bunches, so you might have a

2124
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:24,320
Speaker 14: lull there where you don't have any. But it's something

2125
01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:26,679
Speaker 14: that we it's a huge emphasis point for the team,

2126
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:29,240
Speaker 14: something that we talk about each week. Each Thursday, try

2127
01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 14: to identify some keys and when it happens, it comes

2128
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:34,080
Speaker 14: in bunches. So we're able to take the ball away,

2129
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:35,600
Speaker 14: which I'd say when we get to Green Bay, like

2130
01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 14: they're the best team in the league, get taking the

2131
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:38,720
Speaker 14: ball away. That's one of the reasons that they're four

2132
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:41,040
Speaker 14: and two or you know whatever their record is. So

2133
01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:43,839
Speaker 14: and then a running game, anytime you have the ability

2134
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,679
Speaker 14: to create some explosive runs, then that is usually conducive

2135
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:52,000
Speaker 14: to shortening drives or putting yourself in advantageous positions offensively.

2136
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:54,400
Speaker 14: So those two runs, i mean it's really three runs

2137
01:37:54,840 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 14: were fairly well blocked. There's a little bit of space

2138
01:37:57,479 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 14: the bats we're able to get through. The one was

2139
01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:01,639
Speaker 14: bit more on the edge, and it was really more

2140
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:04,360
Speaker 14: it was well blocked. And then DP showed good balance

2141
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:06,759
Speaker 14: and body control where he was able to sustain on contact.

2142
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:11,439
Speaker 14: So anytime you can create explosive plays, whether throwing or running,

2143
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:13,800
Speaker 14: it's usually going to be a positive very offense. So

2144
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:16,040
Speaker 14: it's good for you know, it's good opportunity, you know,

2145
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:17,920
Speaker 14: for us to see that come to fruition.

2146
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 3: Just over a third of the season played and the

2147
01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:22,720
Speaker 3: depth already really tested here. Nick what's interesting to me

2148
01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 3: is how you don't have Nico, but the two backs

2149
01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:26,880
Speaker 3: come back and mix it in Pierce and the team

2150
01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:28,639
Speaker 3: is different. You went in a different kind of way

2151
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:29,720
Speaker 3: with that explosive run game.

2152
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:31,760
Speaker 14: No, it's interesting point mark each week it's probably going

2153
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:32,879
Speaker 14: to look a little bit different.

2154
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:34,360
Speaker 5: So your team is your team.

2155
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:36,679
Speaker 14: You try to create as much depth as possible, both

2156
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 14: on and off the roster. You never know when you're

2157
01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:41,559
Speaker 14: going to need everybody. We had a situation where we're

2158
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:44,120
Speaker 14: able to get our two best backs back at the game,

2159
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:46,280
Speaker 14: and they went out there and we ran for one

2160
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:48,200
Speaker 14: hundred and ninety two yards rushing or whatever. We did

2161
01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:50,400
Speaker 14: so very efficient in a passing game. I had the

2162
01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:52,360
Speaker 14: one turn over there down in the red area or

2163
01:38:52,400 --> 01:38:55,080
Speaker 14: the fringe they like to get back. But and then

2164
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:59,880
Speaker 14: defensively without Kamari Dila went out there and played very competitively.

2165
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:02,960
Speaker 14: So there's a good example of a player who started

2166
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:04,840
Speaker 14: his career in the practice squad, made an impact in

2167
01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 14: the kicking game, developed confidence and trust and his teammates

2168
01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 14: and his coaches, and we're in a position wheready to

2169
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:11,719
Speaker 14: go out there. I don't know if he played every snap,

2170
01:39:11,760 --> 01:39:13,960
Speaker 14: but it was pretty damn near close. So it just

2171
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:16,400
Speaker 14: speaks to the players and the coaches, getting the players

2172
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 14: ready to go and understanding at some point we're going

2173
01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:20,679
Speaker 14: to need everybody to make a contribution. It's a long

2174
01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:24,000
Speaker 14: season and you're gonna need everybody at some point.

2175
01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:27,719
Speaker 1: Speaking of Nick, tough news this week losing Mario Edwards

2176
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:29,680
Speaker 1: for the next four games as we're about to get

2177
01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:32,679
Speaker 1: to Nico autry back rather not trade, rather than both.

2178
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:35,519
Speaker 1: But how do you think that interior defensive line kind

2179
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:37,479
Speaker 1: of shapes up without Mario for the next few games.

2180
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:39,599
Speaker 14: Yeah, it kind of goes back to the last question,

2181
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:41,479
Speaker 14: and we have we feel like we have decent depth there.

2182
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 14: So Denko, coming back to Mario situation, I mean, it's

2183
01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:46,240
Speaker 14: really and it's more of a league matter. There's really

2184
01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:48,280
Speaker 14: not much we can do about it. I mean I

2185
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:52,040
Speaker 14: can make a comment about it, but probably discretion is

2186
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 14: a better part of valor.

2187
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:53,360
Speaker 5: On that one.

2188
01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:53,960
Speaker 4: Good answer.

2189
01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:56,719
Speaker 14: But with Denico, we'll see how he is this week.

2190
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:58,479
Speaker 14: You know, Kurt has been practicing there a little bit.

2191
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:00,840
Speaker 14: We haven't activated him so to look at what our

2192
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:03,639
Speaker 14: options are. But we've gotten good production from that group,

2193
01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 14: regardless of who's been available and who's been on the field.

2194
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 3: What does winning on the road do for the team there?

2195
01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:11,880
Speaker 3: You are in a hostile environment and you have the

2196
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 3: unpredictability of the rookie quarterback. You have a proud franchise, and.

2197
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:16,920
Speaker 14: They get the job done in the way they did

2198
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:19,360
Speaker 14: Every environment it's different. I think anytime you play on

2199
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 14: the road, you need a certain amount of mental and

2200
01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:25,080
Speaker 14: physical toughness because it's a challenge. So you're going into

2201
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,639
Speaker 14: a hostile environment. You know, good crowd. I mean, we'll

2202
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:29,720
Speaker 14: talk about Green Bay. It's one of the best environments

2203
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:31,680
Speaker 14: for football that there's going to be and they got

2204
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:34,200
Speaker 14: a good football team, so you're able to kind of

2205
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 14: block out everything that's going on externally. Just focus on

2206
01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:38,840
Speaker 14: your team, focus on yourself, here are the things that

2207
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:40,599
Speaker 14: we need to in order to win the football game,

2208
01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:44,400
Speaker 14: and just be very mentally and physically focused and maintain

2209
01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 14: a certain level of mental and physical toughness because that's

2210
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:48,320
Speaker 14: what it's going to take. And then if you have

2211
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:52,840
Speaker 14: those components, and then good execution always trumps everything else.

2212
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 14: So if you can execute as a team, then you're

2213
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 14: gonna put yourself in a position to hopefully win on

2214
01:40:57,479 --> 01:41:00,200
Speaker 14: a road, which is never easy to do so to

2215
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:03,000
Speaker 14: the players for having the right mindset, having the right mentality.

2216
01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 14: Dr talked about just bringing our juice and bringing our

2217
01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:07,600
Speaker 14: energy from the beginning, and the players went out and

2218
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:07,920
Speaker 14: did that.

2219
01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:09,640
Speaker 5: So it's nice to come out with a victory on

2220
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:10,000
Speaker 5: the road.

2221
01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:11,839
Speaker 3: And you know, I like to talk about this stuff,

2222
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 3: the support staff and the setup you guys create on

2223
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:18,559
Speaker 3: the road, at the hotel, trucks leaving early to set

2224
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 3: everything up, the meeting rooms, all the people behind the scenes,

2225
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 3: Nick who contribute to winning.

2226
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:24,360
Speaker 5: Really, it's awesome.

2227
01:41:24,600 --> 01:41:27,800
Speaker 14: You're talking about selfless people that put the coaches and

2228
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:30,400
Speaker 14: the players at the forefront and try to recreate as

2229
01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:32,439
Speaker 14: best we can the atmosphere that we have here at

2230
01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 14: Energy Stadium. So it takes a lot of work, It

2231
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:36,719
Speaker 14: takes a lot of effort, it takes a lot of planning.

2232
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:39,160
Speaker 14: There's a lot of diligence that goes into it. But

2233
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:41,720
Speaker 14: you're trying to simulate as best as possible what it's

2234
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:45,200
Speaker 14: like to be home in an environment that is a foreign.

2235
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:46,720
Speaker 5: Environment or away from home.

2236
01:41:46,760 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 14: But we have an awesome group of people that really

2237
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 14: care about the players, that really care about winning, that

2238
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:53,680
Speaker 14: want to do the right thing by the organization so

2239
01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:55,479
Speaker 14: we're fortunate to have those people in those roles.

2240
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:58,480
Speaker 1: Nick, you know, I'm fascinated by the college scouting process,

2241
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 1: and I've thought about that on Sunday after we talked

2242
01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 1: to Demico about Will Anderson Junior, because I think back

2243
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 1: to Will when he's in college and he's so physically dominant,

2244
01:42:08,439 --> 01:42:11,360
Speaker 1: and you see some of the great things, but you

2245
01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:13,760
Speaker 1: think about what he could do, Like, Okay, as you're

2246
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:15,800
Speaker 1: scouting him, are you thinking about, Hey, I think he

2247
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 1: could do this. He's built this way, he could do

2248
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:21,080
Speaker 1: these things. But now you're starting to see some of

2249
01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:23,680
Speaker 1: those come to fruition. His game is sort of evolving.

2250
01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:25,920
Speaker 1: What have you sort of seen from Will, not only

2251
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 1: from his time back at Alabama, but now what he's

2252
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:30,040
Speaker 1: shown us in the first five six weeks of this year.

2253
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:33,599
Speaker 14: It's an interesting thought because the reality is any player

2254
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:36,679
Speaker 14: that you evaluate in college, it's about what we think

2255
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:38,880
Speaker 14: that player can do or what he's going to be

2256
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:41,599
Speaker 14: able to do in our system or our situation. So

2257
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:44,799
Speaker 14: they're starting from scratch, So you always start with the person,

2258
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:48,679
Speaker 14: his mindset, his work ethic, his mentality, his approach to work,

2259
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:51,080
Speaker 14: how does he go about his business. That's a huge

2260
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 14: component and does he have the willingness to improve and

2261
01:42:54,520 --> 01:42:57,240
Speaker 14: take the coaching and assimilate into the culture that you

2262
01:42:57,280 --> 01:43:00,439
Speaker 14: have in place. So Will has been the same person

2263
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:03,240
Speaker 14: who we thought he was going to be coming out Alabama.

2264
01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 14: That's what he showed at Alabama. So you've seen a

2265
01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:09,479
Speaker 14: lot of carryover. There's certain techniques that are different than

2266
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 14: what he was doing in Alabama's defense. So for the

2267
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,360
Speaker 14: ability of the player to transition into that speaks to

2268
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:18,040
Speaker 14: the player, speaks to the coaches. But we thought Will

2269
01:43:18,160 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 14: was a good player coming out out of Alabama. He's

2270
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:23,679
Speaker 14: been a good player for us, and he continually works

2271
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 14: to get better, which is what you want to see

2272
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 14: in any player.

2273
01:43:27,439 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 3: Can I put the spotlight on one more guy here,

2274
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:32,479
Speaker 3: nevill Hewitt, who I call a special team superhero, but

2275
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:34,840
Speaker 3: sometimes people forget he had to come into the game

2276
01:43:34,880 --> 01:43:37,360
Speaker 3: and play some meaningful snaps Nick and once upon a

2277
01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 3: time he led the Jets and tackles.

2278
01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:40,320
Speaker 2: He can do that role.

2279
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, we're fortunate to have players like nevill Hewitt on

2280
01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:45,240
Speaker 14: this team. We talked about Dara last week, we talked

2281
01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 14: about Neville Hewitt. When you look up the term professional

2282
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:50,679
Speaker 14: in the dictionary, there's a picture of Nevill Hewitt doesn't

2283
01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:52,360
Speaker 14: say much shows up.

2284
01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:54,560
Speaker 5: Works's reliable.

2285
01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:56,720
Speaker 14: He's dependable. You can put him on a field, you

2286
01:43:56,720 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 14: don't miss a beat. And when you go back and

2287
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 14: look at his history when he was with the Jets

2288
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:02,639
Speaker 14: and when he was with some of these other teams,

2289
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:05,200
Speaker 14: there was years where he had over one hundred tackles.

2290
01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:08,160
Speaker 14: So he was a productive tackler out of Marshall. He

2291
01:44:08,280 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 14: was productive tackler when he had to play defensively. He's

2292
01:44:11,479 --> 01:44:14,160
Speaker 14: been a productive player both defensively in the kicking game

2293
01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:16,920
Speaker 14: and just his impact and just his energy, what he

2294
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 14: brings to the kicking game. I mean, he's a flag

2295
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 14: bearer for that group. So have a lot of respect

2296
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:24,680
Speaker 14: and appreciation for Neville and what he provides to the

2297
01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:26,080
Speaker 14: team and what he brings to the table.

2298
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:27,599
Speaker 1: So when you were in New England, did they ever

2299
01:44:27,680 --> 01:44:30,519
Speaker 1: let you shoot off the musket from one of the Patriots? That?

2300
01:44:30,840 --> 01:44:32,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, guys shook their hands.

2301
01:44:32,680 --> 01:44:36,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a shame. Let's move on because we're

2302
01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:38,559
Speaker 1: beyond the Patriots. We got the first winever. Okay, that's

2303
01:44:38,600 --> 01:44:41,760
Speaker 1: the monkey offer back. That's great, you mentioned it. Going

2304
01:44:41,800 --> 01:44:45,200
Speaker 1: to green Bay, the village of green Bay lambeau Field.

2305
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:48,559
Speaker 1: Really good football team. It's the white out. They're all

2306
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:50,519
Speaker 1: excited up there. I know that because my family's been

2307
01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:52,000
Speaker 1: hit me up with it all for the last couple

2308
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:55,200
Speaker 1: of weeks. But it's the Packers and it's really talented team. Nick,

2309
01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:56,559
Speaker 1: what's the scout of report on these guys?

2310
01:44:56,720 --> 01:44:59,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, first off, historical franchise, one of the most you know,

2311
01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 14: this to play in this environment, there's just something unique

2312
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 14: about it.

2313
01:45:04,640 --> 01:45:05,280
Speaker 5: Fan to own.

2314
01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:08,000
Speaker 14: It's just the way they're set up, the way they're constructed.

2315
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,240
Speaker 14: But when you look at their team, I would say

2316
01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:12,960
Speaker 14: this is as well constructed a football team as they're

2317
01:45:12,960 --> 01:45:14,960
Speaker 14: in the league. I think Goody and Matt have done

2318
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:19,040
Speaker 14: a great job. I'll give you my little Matt Lafloor anecdotes.

2319
01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:21,559
Speaker 14: So when I was a grad assistant at Sagona Valley

2320
01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:23,640
Speaker 14: in two thousand, that was our quarterback and that was

2321
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:25,519
Speaker 14: a year we went to the playoffs that vision two

2322
01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 14: playoffs and played Bloomsburg College, unfortunately lost in the first round.

2323
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:31,320
Speaker 5: So Matt and I go back a long way.

2324
01:45:31,360 --> 01:45:33,160
Speaker 14: I know he's here, you know, for the Texans in

2325
01:45:33,200 --> 01:45:34,880
Speaker 14: two thousand and eight or two thousand and nine. But

2326
01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 14: this is a really good football team. They've drafted well,

2327
01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 14: they're so well constructed. You know, start offensively. You know,

2328
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:43,960
Speaker 14: Jordan has played as good as any quarterback in the

2329
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:46,120
Speaker 14: league over a two year stretch. Here looks like he's

2330
01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:48,840
Speaker 14: kind of rounded in a form. Was injured against Philly,

2331
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:52,320
Speaker 14: but they do a really good job offensively playing to

2332
01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 14: his strengths. So between Jordan and they signed Jacobs in

2333
01:45:55,880 --> 01:45:58,599
Speaker 14: in the offseason, and Josh has led the league in rushing.

2334
01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:02,280
Speaker 14: So Jordan's a very I mean, he's a really good quarterback,

2335
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:05,040
Speaker 14: very efficient, makes good decisions. They can run the ball.

2336
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:07,160
Speaker 14: They can run the ball as well as anybody in

2337
01:46:07,160 --> 01:46:09,200
Speaker 14: the league, and they have really a full slate of

2338
01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:11,439
Speaker 14: skill players on the perimeter. The one guy that probably

2339
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 14: stands out above everybody is Jayden Reid. I mean, this

2340
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:16,920
Speaker 14: guy's explosive. He's really good with the ball in his hands.

2341
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:19,200
Speaker 14: They find ways to get him the ball. I think

2342
01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:21,040
Speaker 14: going into the game last week, I mean he had

2343
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:23,760
Speaker 14: twenty catches for over four hundred yards, ten rushes for

2344
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 14: one hundred yards. He's explosive, he's really good with the

2345
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:28,360
Speaker 14: ball in his hands. And they have a young group

2346
01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:33,320
Speaker 14: around him as well. You know, Dobbs Christian Watson, Melton.

2347
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:36,000
Speaker 14: They play all of them, and they've gotten good contributions

2348
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,840
Speaker 14: from Tuckerkraft, the tight end from South Dakota State. Kind

2349
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:41,120
Speaker 14: of going back we were talking about like what can

2350
01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:43,120
Speaker 14: he be right and he's starting to kind of round

2351
01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:46,519
Speaker 14: it in the shape. Good offensive line, good run blocking team.

2352
01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:48,720
Speaker 14: So it's a good offensive football team. They take care

2353
01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:51,120
Speaker 14: of football for the most part. Matt does a good

2354
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 14: job of putting them in a position to move the

2355
01:46:54,320 --> 01:46:56,000
Speaker 14: ball and score points. They're as good a team in

2356
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 14: a red area as any in the league, so certainly

2357
01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:01,720
Speaker 14: presents some challenges offensive and the end of Defensively made

2358
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:04,559
Speaker 14: some adjustments and modifications here. Hire Jeff Haffley, you know

2359
01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 14: who was the head coach at Boston College over the

2360
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:09,120
Speaker 14: last four years. Jeff has kind of a history in

2361
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 14: the sort of the San Francisco defense, kind of the

2362
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:15,280
Speaker 14: four down front. There's some similarities between their defense and

2363
01:47:15,320 --> 01:47:17,519
Speaker 14: our defense. And then when you look at their front,

2364
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:20,720
Speaker 14: they're long as hell. I mean call it six four

2365
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:23,800
Speaker 14: two sixty five two seventy thirty four inch arms, So

2366
01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:26,479
Speaker 14: they take away a lot of space with the front,

2367
01:47:26,520 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 14: and they got a lot of good players. They've invested

2368
01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:30,800
Speaker 14: in a lot of early round picks in the front,

2369
01:47:31,600 --> 01:47:34,000
Speaker 14: signed Preston Smith in free agency, you know a few

2370
01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:38,360
Speaker 14: years back, drafted Van s Rashaun Gary, the kid from

2371
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 14: South Carolina. And then inside maybe not as long, but

2372
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 14: there's disruptive Kenny Clark, Devonte Wyatt, so it's and then

2373
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:47,880
Speaker 14: at linebacker, drafted Cooper to Texas A and MK in

2374
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:48,519
Speaker 14: the second round.

2375
01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:49,120
Speaker 5: Who's starting to.

2376
01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:52,360
Speaker 14: Incorporate kway Walker a little bit like Edmonds. I mean

2377
01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:54,840
Speaker 14: six four two forty runs well, has a lot of

2378
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:57,760
Speaker 14: length in the secondary. I mean they've taken the ball

2379
01:47:57,800 --> 01:47:59,600
Speaker 14: away and start with McKinney, that was one of their

2380
01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:02,519
Speaker 14: big agent acquisitions. Very instinctive player around the ball, a

2381
01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 14: lot really good corner in Alexander good Nickel slash corner

2382
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 14: and Keishawn Nixon.

2383
01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:08,880
Speaker 5: So this is a good defense.

2384
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:11,000
Speaker 14: And they lead the league in takeaways, so they're they're

2385
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 14: number one and turnover margins. So they take the ball away,

2386
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:17,040
Speaker 14: they don't give it up offensively, so you know that

2387
01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:18,240
Speaker 14: they're a good football team.

2388
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 5: Young, well constructed. I mean, hats off to.

2389
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 14: Matt and Goody for putting together a really good team,

2390
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 14: which is why they're in the position that they're in.

2391
01:48:24,479 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 1: Are they starting to use Bullard a little bit more

2392
01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:27,800
Speaker 1: in his secondary as well? The rookie from Georgia is

2393
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 1: he has he seen a little bit more time.

2394
01:48:29,280 --> 01:48:31,880
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, honestly, John, both guys, so they're you know,

2395
01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 14: Javon plays opposite McKinney in base defense and they go

2396
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 14: to Nickel. There's times where he's played slot corner, nickel corner.

2397
01:48:39,600 --> 01:48:41,639
Speaker 14: And they brought Williams, the kid from Oregon and as

2398
01:48:41,640 --> 01:48:44,599
Speaker 14: well as a really instinctive players, so they use everybody

2399
01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 14: they're trying. It looks like they're trying to get Williams

2400
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 14: on the field a little bit more.

2401
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:47,479
Speaker 1: So.

2402
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 14: It's a good it's a good group in the secondary

2403
01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 14: that's pretty versatile, very instinctive, and they could take.

2404
01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 3: The ball away looking at their passing attack. If I

2405
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:58,000
Speaker 3: ask you what's more important, coverage or pressure?

2406
01:48:58,200 --> 01:48:58,759
Speaker 2: Is the answer?

2407
01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:02,719
Speaker 5: Yes, Yes, rush and coverage are tied together.

2408
01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 14: And I think you saw going back to the game

2409
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:07,679
Speaker 14: on Sunday, there were multiple examples. Yeah, we had the sacks,

2410
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:10,439
Speaker 14: but usually there's coverage behind it. So even if the

2411
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:12,559
Speaker 14: pressure gets there, but if the coverage isn't tight, if

2412
01:49:12,600 --> 01:49:14,680
Speaker 14: not in the right spot, then the quarterback. If he

2413
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:16,760
Speaker 14: gets a ball off, then it's going to lead to

2414
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:19,839
Speaker 14: a positive place. So it's all related. So the combination

2415
01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:22,360
Speaker 14: of rush and coverage will be important, and then you

2416
01:49:22,439 --> 01:49:24,599
Speaker 14: combine that they have a really good running game. So

2417
01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:27,080
Speaker 14: this is going to be about good execution, playing the

2418
01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:29,240
Speaker 14: responsibilities the right way, don't try to do too much,

2419
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:32,920
Speaker 14: understanding who the threats are and where they align them.

2420
01:49:33,120 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 14: And it's a good offensive football team, so they're certainly

2421
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:36,800
Speaker 14: going to present some Challenges's no question.

2422
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:39,160
Speaker 1: We know George sat for a few years and even

2423
01:49:39,240 --> 01:49:41,400
Speaker 1: last year when he took over as a starter. Early on,

2424
01:49:41,439 --> 01:49:42,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, well, you know, I don't know,

2425
01:49:42,800 --> 01:49:44,519
Speaker 1: but about halfway through the year it was like it

2426
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:47,479
Speaker 1: clicked and it feels like it's clicked ever since. How

2427
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:51,640
Speaker 1: difficult is he to account for because every throw he

2428
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:53,240
Speaker 1: can make on a field next, Yeah, he has.

2429
01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:55,280
Speaker 14: A really good understanding of what the defense is doing,

2430
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:58,120
Speaker 14: arm strength for days, can fit the ball in basically

2431
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:01,240
Speaker 14: wherever you want. He's accurate, throws a catchup ball, and

2432
01:50:01,240 --> 01:50:03,120
Speaker 14: they do a good job is setting up the passing

2433
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:06,000
Speaker 14: game where he always has an option. So I think

2434
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:08,439
Speaker 14: he's done a good job from in terms of his

2435
01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 14: growth of just taking what the defense gives them. Okay,

2436
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:13,600
Speaker 14: it's not there, we'll go to the checkdown, get rid

2437
01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:16,080
Speaker 14: of the ball. So he's a really good football player.

2438
01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 14: And Bob midway through the year last year to the

2439
01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 14: end of the year, I mean, he arguedly played as

2440
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:23,600
Speaker 14: good as any quarterback in the league. So kind of

2441
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:25,000
Speaker 14: got off to a little bit of a slow starts

2442
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:26,760
Speaker 14: just because of the injury. But it looks like he's

2443
01:50:26,840 --> 01:50:28,320
Speaker 14: kind of rounding in the form. And they put I

2444
01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:30,120
Speaker 14: don't know, twenty eight points on a board in the

2445
01:50:30,160 --> 01:50:32,800
Speaker 14: first halt whatever it was against Arizona here last week.

2446
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:34,840
Speaker 14: So I mean, getting off to a good start is

2447
01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:36,719
Speaker 14: going to be important for us as a football team.

2448
01:50:36,760 --> 01:50:40,360
Speaker 3: How pertinent is the Malik Willis tape? Because that was interesting,

2449
01:50:40,439 --> 01:50:42,439
Speaker 3: no love and they bring Willis sin and a lot

2450
01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:44,120
Speaker 3: of people on the outside said, what are you doing?

2451
01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:45,599
Speaker 2: Well it worked out really well for them.

2452
01:50:45,800 --> 01:50:46,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, credit to them.

2453
01:50:46,840 --> 01:50:48,599
Speaker 14: So they figured out what do we have to do

2454
01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:50,280
Speaker 14: these next couple of games in order to win the

2455
01:50:50,320 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 14: football game? So the heavy dose at a running game,

2456
01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 14: and then Malik made some plays in the passing game,

2457
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:56,040
Speaker 14: and then he made some plays.

2458
01:50:55,760 --> 01:50:56,400
Speaker 5: With his legs.

2459
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:58,760
Speaker 14: So there are probably some concepts that will carry over

2460
01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:01,280
Speaker 14: in a running game that you have to But I mean,

2461
01:51:01,280 --> 01:51:03,920
Speaker 14: there's a player who wasn't on a team in training camp,

2462
01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:07,479
Speaker 14: acquired him basically at the cut, was forced into action,

2463
01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:09,960
Speaker 14: and they figured out, well, here's what we need to

2464
01:51:09,960 --> 01:51:11,559
Speaker 14: do in order to win the football game. Made some

2465
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 14: adjustments and modifications, which a credit to Matt and the

2466
01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:16,080
Speaker 14: offensive staff are doing that and putting them in the

2467
01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:17,320
Speaker 14: position to win those two games.

2468
01:51:17,479 --> 01:51:19,679
Speaker 1: A little bit easier. Nick to face an NFC team

2469
01:51:19,720 --> 01:51:22,240
Speaker 1: a little later in the year. I know that because

2470
01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:24,080
Speaker 1: you just don't have history with NFC teams and we

2471
01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:25,720
Speaker 1: lost all the Packers in twenty twenty. It was a

2472
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:29,360
Speaker 1: COVID year and they've completely completely different. But is it

2473
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:31,479
Speaker 1: any better because you've got five games? I know you

2474
01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 1: don't have that many of Jordan's, but you got a

2475
01:51:33,360 --> 01:51:34,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a leak, You got a little bit

2476
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:36,360
Speaker 1: of Jordan. Does that kind of help in preparation this

2477
01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:37,200
Speaker 1: a little bit later.

2478
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:38,680
Speaker 14: You can look a little bit of everything. We just

2479
01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:40,360
Speaker 14: go back to their previous year. It's a little bit

2480
01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:42,639
Speaker 14: like we talked about with Minnesota. Anytime you don't play

2481
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:44,400
Speaker 14: a team kind of in the cycle, every three or

2482
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:45,960
Speaker 14: four years, you just have to go back and just

2483
01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:49,880
Speaker 14: familiarize yourself A with the personnel, b the coaching staff,

2484
01:51:49,880 --> 01:51:52,600
Speaker 14: the philosophy. Was there any changes from last year to

2485
01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:55,360
Speaker 14: this year. You go back and use twenty three as

2486
01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:57,960
Speaker 14: a reference point. If it's applicable, it might not be.

2487
01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:00,800
Speaker 14: You might have to find some alternative measure. But the

2488
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:03,240
Speaker 14: most important thing is just understanding the opponent is best

2489
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:05,160
Speaker 14: we can understand what they're trying to do in all

2490
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:07,680
Speaker 14: three phases, and then putting ourselves in a position we're

2491
01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:09,559
Speaker 14: going to go out there and executing and play good football

2492
01:52:09,560 --> 01:52:10,000
Speaker 14: on Sunday.

2493
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:12,720
Speaker 3: So I was in a conversation recently about things that

2494
01:52:12,760 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 3: happened during COVID that innovated things like zoom calls. We're

2495
01:52:17,040 --> 01:52:19,639
Speaker 3: all used to that now, but the practice squad nick

2496
01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:22,479
Speaker 3: that really changed during COVID. Do you think we'd be

2497
01:52:22,600 --> 01:52:25,760
Speaker 3: here now without COVID with the practice squad the flexibility

2498
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:26,080
Speaker 3: you have.

2499
01:52:26,320 --> 01:52:28,559
Speaker 14: No, it's a good question, but I think everybody is benefited.

2500
01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:32,240
Speaker 14: It's just roster flexibility. It's given more players opportunity. There's

2501
01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:35,160
Speaker 14: certain rules and parameters. You can include veterans and some

2502
01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:38,960
Speaker 14: exception players. So it's just an opportunity for more players

2503
01:52:39,439 --> 01:52:41,960
Speaker 14: to be available, and each team kind of sets up

2504
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:45,080
Speaker 14: the practice squad a little bit differently, so there's always benefits.

2505
01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:47,000
Speaker 14: So I think we've always taken the approach. Whatever the

2506
01:52:47,080 --> 01:52:49,400
Speaker 14: rules are, we'll try to maximize them to the best

2507
01:52:49,400 --> 01:52:51,400
Speaker 14: of our ability, make sure we understand them and put

2508
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:53,800
Speaker 14: ourselves in the best position possible to do the things

2509
01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:55,160
Speaker 14: that you know, we think make the most sense for

2510
01:52:55,240 --> 01:52:56,080
Speaker 14: the Eastern Texans.

2511
01:52:56,200 --> 01:52:58,960
Speaker 1: There's a great game in the NFL. They're great places

2512
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:01,280
Speaker 1: to go, but Lambeau was at the top. How cool

2513
01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:03,200
Speaker 1: is it? I know, I mean for me, it's a

2514
01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:04,840
Speaker 1: little bit of going back where I was a kid.

2515
01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:06,920
Speaker 1: But for you, Nick, what's it like when you go

2516
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:10,160
Speaker 1: to Lambeau? How historic that stadium is, all the great

2517
01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:11,760
Speaker 1: things that have happened in NFL history. I know you

2518
01:53:11,800 --> 01:53:13,600
Speaker 1: got to gear up to play a game, but how

2519
01:53:13,640 --> 01:53:16,080
Speaker 1: cool is it to actually play that game? And how

2520
01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:17,720
Speaker 1: cool is it that it's not in December where it's

2521
01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:19,320
Speaker 1: two degrees, it's going to be fifty degrees.

2522
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 14: It's interesting if you're fortunate to have an opportunity to

2523
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:26,000
Speaker 14: essentially play in every stadium in the NFL. Every environment

2524
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:27,320
Speaker 14: is a little bit different. They all kind of have

2525
01:53:27,360 --> 01:53:29,439
Speaker 14: their own spin, but there's just so much history and

2526
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,360
Speaker 14: just the atmosphere and you walk in there, the way

2527
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:34,040
Speaker 14: it's set up, it's just kind of a massive bowl.

2528
01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:36,960
Speaker 14: We speaking of December we had I didn't played there.

2529
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:39,719
Speaker 14: It was twenty fourteen. We played a regular season game there.

2530
01:53:40,720 --> 01:53:43,040
Speaker 14: You know, when they had Aaron, they had Brady, that

2531
01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:44,720
Speaker 14: went back and forth. It was like twenty four to

2532
01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:46,200
Speaker 14: twenty one. Kind of came down to the end of

2533
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:48,519
Speaker 14: the game. We were actually we played Green Bay and

2534
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:51,000
Speaker 14: we were flying from Green Bay out to Los Angeles

2535
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:52,840
Speaker 14: because we were playing the Chargers, so we were kind

2536
01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 14: of can be going for two weeks.

2537
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:55,799
Speaker 5: But so much history.

2538
01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:57,320
Speaker 14: I mean, I don't know how many players are in

2539
01:53:57,320 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 14: the Hall of Fame from the Green Bay Packers, but

2540
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:02,360
Speaker 14: it's a significant amounts. So you have an appreciation for

2541
01:54:02,520 --> 01:54:05,680
Speaker 14: they have an appreciation for a good football and you're

2542
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:07,960
Speaker 14: going to an environment like if you like football, you

2543
01:54:08,080 --> 01:54:10,160
Speaker 14: like being a part of a good environment, like Sunday

2544
01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:11,479
Speaker 14: is going to be a really good place to be,

2545
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:12,000
Speaker 14: all right.

2546
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:13,440
Speaker 2: Thoughts on Vince Lombardi.

2547
01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:16,479
Speaker 3: The trophy is named after him, and we have so

2548
01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:18,240
Speaker 3: many coaches in the history of the game. We talked

2549
01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:22,280
Speaker 3: about Paul Brown previously. How did Lombardi, in your opinion, innovate?

2550
01:54:22,600 --> 01:54:24,920
Speaker 3: Is that his thing or was it just that he

2551
01:54:24,960 --> 01:54:27,759
Speaker 3: was an excellent coach and won those championships in title

2552
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:28,439
Speaker 3: Town as they call.

2553
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:29,040
Speaker 5: Yea all the above.

2554
01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:31,120
Speaker 14: When you look at the success that coach Lombardi had

2555
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:33,200
Speaker 14: over the course of his career, he left his imprint

2556
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:35,360
Speaker 14: on the league and for him to be recognized with

2557
01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:37,600
Speaker 14: the Super Bowl Trophy being named after him, and it

2558
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:40,920
Speaker 14: speaks to excellence and it's what all we're aspiring and

2559
01:54:41,200 --> 01:54:44,800
Speaker 14: all we're shooting for. So Paul Brown, I mean you

2560
01:54:44,880 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 14: talk about in Don Coriel, when you go back in

2561
01:54:47,280 --> 01:54:48,760
Speaker 14: the history of the game, like they can't of lay

2562
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:51,960
Speaker 14: the groundwork for all of us. And you know, it's

2563
01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:55,680
Speaker 14: a credit to the Packers organization for giving them the opportunity.

2564
01:54:55,880 --> 01:54:57,760
Speaker 14: You know, we're big on history. When you go back

2565
01:54:57,800 --> 01:54:59,640
Speaker 14: and actually look at the history of the Green Bay Packers,

2566
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:01,680
Speaker 14: how they their name, the Green Bay Packing Company and

2567
01:55:01,720 --> 01:55:04,360
Speaker 14: everything that goes into it. I mean, it's very unique.

2568
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:06,360
Speaker 14: There's not too many, i would say, teams like it.

2569
01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:08,640
Speaker 14: So the fact that coach Lombardi has his name on

2570
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:10,400
Speaker 14: the trophy, I mean that says it all right.

2571
01:55:10,400 --> 01:55:12,720
Speaker 1: There, I took Mark to the Packers Hall of Fame. Yeah,

2572
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:14,920
Speaker 1: it's awesome, it's pretty cool. I mean it's not the

2573
01:55:15,040 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 1: NFL Hall of Fame but the Professional Football Hall Fame.

2574
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:19,320
Speaker 1: But it's it's cool to just go through there. And

2575
01:55:19,360 --> 01:55:20,760
Speaker 1: I went through there as a kid. Now I can

2576
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:23,320
Speaker 1: appreciate a little bit more looking at all the different

2577
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:26,960
Speaker 1: memorabilia and they have Lombardi's office set up, and it's

2578
01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:30,200
Speaker 1: just it's it's mind blowing in some sense to think about, Like,

2579
01:55:30,320 --> 01:55:32,560
Speaker 1: that's really kind of where it all started, was right there.

2580
01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:34,960
Speaker 14: If you're enter into the history of football, to be

2581
01:55:35,040 --> 01:55:37,680
Speaker 14: on the hallow grounds of lambeau Field in that environment,

2582
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:39,000
Speaker 14: it doesn't get much better.

2583
01:55:39,080 --> 01:55:39,360
Speaker 6: All right.

2584
01:55:39,400 --> 01:55:41,560
Speaker 3: This week's most difficult question, Nick, We're going to put

2585
01:55:41,560 --> 01:55:42,879
Speaker 3: you in a situation here.

2586
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:44,120
Speaker 2: Because, oh, wait for this one.

2587
01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:46,960
Speaker 3: Green Bay is known for brotz right, this is their

2588
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:49,280
Speaker 3: tailgates XI right, rots and beer.

2589
01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:50,240
Speaker 2: You have to choose.

2590
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:53,000
Speaker 3: You have to choose one of the following Green Bay Broughts,

2591
01:55:53,560 --> 01:55:58,520
Speaker 3: New England clam chowder, Baltimore crab cakes or Texas Barbecue.

2592
01:55:58,520 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 3: You have to have one of these as a tail

2593
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:00,640
Speaker 3: gate food.

2594
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:03,360
Speaker 14: Well, I probably have no choice but to select Texas

2595
01:56:03,400 --> 01:56:05,360
Speaker 14: barbe there we go, So, all right's.

2596
01:56:07,600 --> 01:56:07,960
Speaker 4: That out.

2597
01:56:09,160 --> 01:56:10,960
Speaker 14: Actually, I'm a crab cake guy, so I like okay

2598
01:56:10,960 --> 01:56:13,160
Speaker 14: cakes anytime we have them in the in the cafe, like,

2599
01:56:13,160 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 14: I'll grab a crab cake. So if we take the

2600
01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:18,280
Speaker 14: barbecue out, which that's obviously at the top of the list,

2601
01:56:18,280 --> 01:56:20,880
Speaker 14: and then we draw a line, crab cakes probably would

2602
01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:21,280
Speaker 14: be next and.

2603
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:23,560
Speaker 3: Healthy ones.

2604
01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:25,320
Speaker 1: So is chowder up on a list?

2605
01:56:25,360 --> 01:56:26,960
Speaker 5: I mean, you were there for a while guy, not

2606
01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:27,640
Speaker 5: a chowder guy.

2607
01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:33,800
Speaker 3: Oh, cars for a great breakfast at ten o'clock in

2608
01:56:33,840 --> 01:56:34,800
Speaker 3: the morning, like the other day.

01:56:34,920 --> 01:56:36,840
Speaker 2: That's great, Nick, Thanks a lot of good luck.

2610
01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:37,480
Speaker 5: Thanks fellas.

2611

Speaker 3: All right, there's Nick Cassario, executive vice president and general manager.

2612

2613
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:47,000
Speaker 3: on YouTube. This thing absolutely crushes it on YouTube. Nick

Speaker 2: Check it out.

2617
01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:57,960
Speaker 3: It's also on YouTube. So everything's on YouTube and on

2618
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:00,560
Speaker 3: linear television. That's the era we live in right now.

2619
01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:03,040
Speaker 3: Coming up on the show, a lot of fun stuff.

2620
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:06,560
Speaker 3: Eric Murray, we sat down with him, Jake Hanson, a

2621
01:57:06,640 --> 01:57:09,520
Speaker 3: couple of defensive players who are gonna figure big into

2622
01:57:09,560 --> 01:57:12,800
Speaker 3: this weekend's plans, and a little best of Corey Undlin

2623
01:57:12,920 --> 01:57:16,760
Speaker 3: as well. He's your defensive passing game coordinator. Gotta play

2624
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:20,480
Speaker 3: good defense against the Packers. So we'll discuss it's Texans

2625
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:24,560
Speaker 3: Radio keeping it going in the Friday night bonus hour

2626
01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:27,600
Speaker 3: of Texans All Access. Earlier in the week, we visited

2627
01:57:27,640 --> 01:57:30,880
Speaker 3: with Eric Murray, safety. He's been making plays. Had a

2628
01:57:30,880 --> 01:57:33,880
Speaker 3: big interception in the win over New England off the

2629
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:36,440
Speaker 3: deflection from Will Anderson, Defensive player of the Week in

2630
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:40,600
Speaker 3: the AFC. Anyway, here's our visit with safety Eric Murray,

2631
01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:44,080
Speaker 3: the man with the best hands on the team. Maybe

2632
01:57:44,240 --> 01:57:47,360
Speaker 3: maybe all right, that was a heck of an interception

2633
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:49,000
Speaker 3: And what was going through your head when you see

2634
01:57:49,040 --> 01:57:50,560
Speaker 3: that ball cam in the air.

2635
01:57:51,280 --> 01:57:53,040
Speaker 15: Initially I was just trying to get off a block

2636
01:57:53,400 --> 01:57:56,720
Speaker 15: as a diagnosed it as a screenplay and seeing the

2637
01:57:56,760 --> 01:57:58,680
Speaker 15: ball go up and I was like, I know this guy,

2638
01:57:58,760 --> 01:58:00,440
Speaker 15: he got a hold of me. He probably gonna dump

2639
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:01,960
Speaker 15: me to the ground, but I got to get the ball.

2640
01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:05,000
Speaker 1: So you came down with it. Great catch. Well, it

2641
01:58:05,040 --> 01:58:07,080
Speaker 1: was that kind of an emphasis to your facing a rookie, Hey,

2642
01:58:07,160 --> 01:58:08,920
Speaker 1: let's go take the ball away. I know you guys

2643
01:58:08,920 --> 01:58:10,680
Speaker 1: haven't done it as much as you did in the past.

2644
01:58:11,120 --> 01:58:12,360
Speaker 1: Was that a big focus for you guys?

2645
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:14,680
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean definitely in the past few weeks, we

2646
01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:16,640
Speaker 15: haven't been able to get the ball as frequently as

2647
01:58:16,680 --> 01:58:18,200
Speaker 15: we would like, So to be able to go out

2648
01:58:18,200 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 15: there and get four in that manner definitely boost the

2649
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:22,839
Speaker 15: defense and boost the team overall.

2650
01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:25,400
Speaker 3: What does it do for the defense when you see

2651
01:58:25,520 --> 01:58:27,720
Speaker 3: Joe go for a long run like that, when you

2652
01:58:27,760 --> 01:58:30,920
Speaker 3: see Damien go for a long run like that, explosive

2653
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:33,520
Speaker 3: running place, not just the passing game, but on the ground,

2654
01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:34,400
Speaker 3: what does that do for the d.

2655
01:58:34,720 --> 01:58:37,400
Speaker 15: I mean, it just lift the team up, especially the defense.

2656
01:58:37,760 --> 01:58:39,600
Speaker 15: It just means you could take a little extra break

2657
01:58:39,800 --> 01:58:41,680
Speaker 15: and when you could just turn around, turn around and

2658
01:58:41,680 --> 01:58:44,360
Speaker 15: hand the ball off to two good backs like that,

2659
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:47,200
Speaker 15: it's gonna be a long day for the opposing.

2660
01:58:47,160 --> 01:58:49,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe we buried the lead a little bit,

2661
01:58:49,760 --> 01:58:52,280
Speaker 1: but first time we've beaten New England in New England.

2662
01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:55,280
Speaker 1: Were you guys aware of that? Had that been talked

2663
01:58:55,280 --> 01:58:57,320
Speaker 1: about throughout the week? I or Debico gave everybody at

2664
01:58:57,320 --> 01:58:58,880
Speaker 1: game ball I don't know if that means me Mark two,

2665
01:58:58,920 --> 01:59:01,360
Speaker 1: but you guys aware of that. Was that kind of

2666
01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:02,920
Speaker 1: talked about during the week.

2667
01:59:03,040 --> 01:59:05,560
Speaker 15: Not necessarily during the week, but I think the night

2668
01:59:05,600 --> 01:59:08,400
Speaker 15: before it was definitely mentioned. It was something that was

2669
01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:11,880
Speaker 15: kind of unknown to us players, but it was mentioned

2670
01:59:11,880 --> 01:59:12,960
Speaker 15: the night before for sure.

2671
01:59:13,320 --> 01:59:16,360
Speaker 3: What does it do when you face a rookie quarterback?

2672
01:59:16,360 --> 01:59:18,800
Speaker 3: What does it do for your game plan? Because it's

2673
01:59:18,840 --> 01:59:20,920
Speaker 3: kind of unpredictable. That throw me out at the end

2674
01:59:20,920 --> 01:59:22,480
Speaker 3: of the half was a heck of a throw. You

2675
01:59:22,560 --> 01:59:25,080
Speaker 3: might not have even thought, well, we've never seen him

2676
01:59:25,080 --> 01:59:27,880
Speaker 3: do that. You don't have that on tape necessarily.

2677
01:59:28,360 --> 01:59:30,800
Speaker 15: Just get him off the spot, try to move him around,

2678
01:59:31,960 --> 01:59:33,000
Speaker 15: make him throw from the pocket.

2679
01:59:33,040 --> 01:59:34,960
Speaker 6: And I mean he did good. He made some good throws.

2680
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:37,560
Speaker 15: So I mean you just kind of go from there

2681
01:59:37,640 --> 01:59:40,440
Speaker 15: and just keep trying to play tough defens as you can.

2682
01:59:40,720 --> 01:59:43,000
Speaker 1: Eric, how do you guys feel your gelling as a defense?

2683
01:59:43,800 --> 01:59:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean the offense obviously there's all kind of rhythm

2684
01:59:45,680 --> 01:59:47,600
Speaker 1: and timing and all that, but it feels like you

2685
01:59:47,600 --> 01:59:49,200
Speaker 1: guys have been in a pretty good groove now for

2686
01:59:49,240 --> 01:59:51,160
Speaker 1: a while. How's that kind of coming together for you guys?

2687
01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:55,080
Speaker 15: It's been pretty good. Communication has been pretty good. Everybody's playing,

2688
01:59:55,280 --> 01:59:58,400
Speaker 15: you know, together, So starting to hit that point in

2689
01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:00,760
Speaker 15: the season where you want to really take off and

2690
02:00:00,800 --> 02:00:03,839
Speaker 15: completely and completely jail and go and play good football

2691
02:00:03,840 --> 02:00:04,800
Speaker 15: going into the playoffs.

2692
02:00:05,040 --> 02:00:08,520
Speaker 3: So and every position group has to deal with this injuries,

2693
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:12,080
Speaker 3: and you have injuries on the back end, So what

2694
02:00:12,200 --> 02:00:14,560
Speaker 3: is that? How does that affect you, guys, because everybody

2695
02:00:14,600 --> 02:00:16,840
Speaker 3: has to band together, bond together, and figure out a

2696
02:00:16,920 --> 02:00:18,440
Speaker 3: way through it, and you've been able to do it

2697
02:00:18,480 --> 02:00:19,200
Speaker 3: for the most part.

2698
02:00:19,920 --> 02:00:22,120
Speaker 15: I think just what the group we got is pretty

2699
02:00:22,120 --> 02:00:24,560
Speaker 15: tight knit, and it's probably the most tight knit group

2700
02:00:24,600 --> 02:00:29,080
Speaker 15: we've had since I've been here. So you know, even

2701
02:00:29,080 --> 02:00:31,720
Speaker 15: if you aren't on the field, being just being able

2702
02:00:31,720 --> 02:00:33,400
Speaker 15: to talk to those guys throughout the week and see

2703
02:00:33,400 --> 02:00:34,320
Speaker 15: what they're thinking about.

2704
02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:36,440
Speaker 6: Every little bit helps.

2705
02:00:36,880 --> 02:00:38,680
Speaker 1: You've been around for a while, You've seen some things

2706
02:00:38,760 --> 02:00:41,200
Speaker 1: not here but throughout the NFL. And then you got

2707
02:00:41,200 --> 02:00:43,480
Speaker 1: the young buck, Kaylen Bullock. What do you see from him?

2708
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:45,480
Speaker 1: He gets the interception from the recovery. What do you

2709
02:00:45,480 --> 02:00:46,520
Speaker 1: see from him thus far?

2710
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:52,040
Speaker 15: Just elite ball skills, elite tracking skills, long rangy guy,

2711
02:00:52,440 --> 02:00:54,280
Speaker 15: and he's able to put it to good use being

2712
02:00:54,280 --> 02:00:55,680
Speaker 15: back there and being our center fielder.

2713
02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:58,200
Speaker 3: So you mentioned being able to talk to the guys

2714
02:00:58,200 --> 02:01:01,879
Speaker 3: who are hurt during the week and getting their thoughts.

2715
02:01:02,760 --> 02:01:05,600
Speaker 3: I'm betting that doesn't happen everywhere. That these guys are

2716
02:01:05,600 --> 02:01:07,640
Speaker 3: still kind of locked in on what is going on

2717
02:01:07,680 --> 02:01:09,760
Speaker 3: with that game, despite the fact that they might not

2718
02:01:09,840 --> 02:01:10,640
Speaker 3: know they're not playing.

2719
02:01:11,080 --> 02:01:14,800
Speaker 15: I mean, it's definitely gear tour towards where you're at

2720
02:01:14,840 --> 02:01:16,880
Speaker 15: in the season. Like we're still pretty early in our

2721
02:01:16,880 --> 02:01:20,000
Speaker 15: season and we're five and one, so that definitely plays

2722
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:20,680
Speaker 15: the part into it.

2723
02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:25,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so will tips the ball to you for the interception?

2724
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:29,240
Speaker 1: The pass rush helps you guys get interceptions. You guys

2725
02:01:29,320 --> 02:01:32,800
Speaker 1: getting interceptions probably forced the quarterback to throw. Russian covers

2726
02:01:32,840 --> 02:01:35,600
Speaker 1: are always supposed to work together, So do you guys,

2727
02:01:36,080 --> 02:01:37,800
Speaker 1: And I know it's the back in the front, but

2728
02:01:37,840 --> 02:01:40,720
Speaker 1: do you guys kind of communicate, Hey, you guys, you

2729
02:01:40,720 --> 02:01:42,320
Speaker 1: guys get there a little bit quicker, we can go

2730
02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:44,400
Speaker 1: make a play, or they're telling you, hey, you guys,

2731
02:01:44,400 --> 02:01:46,560
Speaker 1: hang out coverage, we'll get some sacks. You guys kind

2732
02:01:46,560 --> 02:01:48,360
Speaker 1: of communicate in that way at all? Or is it

2733
02:01:48,440 --> 02:01:49,600
Speaker 1: just kind of work just.

2734
02:01:49,640 --> 02:01:51,280
Speaker 6: Naturally it works just naturally.

2735
02:01:52,080 --> 02:01:54,960
Speaker 15: I mean football is a complimentary sport, so everybody has

2736
02:01:55,000 --> 02:01:56,959
Speaker 15: to do their job so somebody else can be successful.

2737
02:01:56,960 --> 02:01:58,400
Speaker 15: And that's you know, how you go about it.

2738
02:01:58,560 --> 02:02:00,880
Speaker 3: You said, the record five and one great start ties

2739
02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:02,520
Speaker 3: for the best start in the history of the franchise.

2740
02:02:02,520 --> 02:02:04,840
Speaker 3: We got a long way to go, but that's got

2741
02:02:04,840 --> 02:02:06,520
Speaker 3: to give you a little lift, right, How do you

2742
02:02:06,560 --> 02:02:08,720
Speaker 3: feel about that personally? Being on this team and you've

2743
02:02:08,760 --> 02:02:11,040
Speaker 3: been here through some tough times, so when you see

2744
02:02:11,080 --> 02:02:12,880
Speaker 3: this team go five and one, that's got to be

2745
02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:13,600
Speaker 3: special to you.

2746
02:02:14,200 --> 02:02:16,720
Speaker 15: It's definitely just it's a great start, and we just

2747
02:02:16,760 --> 02:02:18,440
Speaker 15: got to continue to lock in throughout the rest of

2748
02:02:18,440 --> 02:02:20,880
Speaker 15: the season and take it week in week out. I

2749
02:02:20,880 --> 02:02:23,400
Speaker 15: mean that's really the only mentality you can have because

2750
02:02:23,800 --> 02:02:24,640
Speaker 15: it's a long season.

2751
02:02:24,840 --> 02:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Okay, going back home? Yeah, going back to going back home?

2752
02:02:28,240 --> 02:02:30,840
Speaker 1: How's that? How's that feel? I mean, Walkie's not what

2753
02:02:31,040 --> 02:02:33,720
Speaker 1: ninety minutes or so, I mean, get family there, kind

2754
02:02:33,720 --> 02:02:35,160
Speaker 1: of what's the kind of what's the game plan for

2755
02:02:35,520 --> 02:02:36,240
Speaker 1: Sunday and Greenback?

2756
02:02:36,360 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 6: I have a bunch of family there.

2757
02:02:38,080 --> 02:02:40,000
Speaker 15: Definitely feel good to just you know, be back in

2758
02:02:40,040 --> 02:02:41,840
Speaker 15: Wisconsin in general, and I'm excited.

2759
02:02:41,920 --> 02:02:44,880
Speaker 1: What's the last time you played up at Lambo it

2760
02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:47,080
Speaker 1: was the preseason. We told that we were up there

2761
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:47,600
Speaker 1: for preseason.

2762
02:02:47,720 --> 02:02:49,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the last time, yep.

2763
02:02:49,120 --> 02:02:51,920
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, So that must have been pretty cool to

2764
02:02:51,960 --> 02:02:54,160
Speaker 3: go back home that preseason because the pressure is kind

2765
02:02:54,160 --> 02:02:57,040
Speaker 3: of off, right, you can enjoy those family visits, right,

2766
02:02:57,240 --> 02:03:00,200
Speaker 3: there's a little bit more of a stressful situation. So

2767
02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:03,200
Speaker 3: not that you've delved into the game plan that deeply yet.

2768
02:03:03,200 --> 02:03:04,800
Speaker 3: We're still early in the week. But what do you

2769
02:03:04,840 --> 02:03:07,880
Speaker 3: think when you look at Jordan Love and the kind

2770
02:03:07,880 --> 02:03:10,280
Speaker 3: of numbers he's putting up early here, they look pretty good.

2771
02:03:10,560 --> 02:03:13,280
Speaker 15: Yeah, they got a good team overall, got a good

2772
02:03:13,320 --> 02:03:16,560
Speaker 15: young nucleus, and you know, just like everybody in the season,

2773
02:03:16,600 --> 02:03:19,080
Speaker 15: they're trying to hit their strides. So you know, got

2774
02:03:19,080 --> 02:03:20,040
Speaker 15: a good opponent coming up.

2775
02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:23,920
Speaker 1: Eric with two back to back road trips. Do you

2776
02:03:24,520 --> 02:03:27,240
Speaker 1: does that bother you? Does it impact you at all?

2777
02:03:27,920 --> 02:03:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, kind of going and get back a little

2778
02:03:29,360 --> 02:03:30,840
Speaker 1: bit late last night and have to turn right back

2779
02:03:30,840 --> 02:03:32,560
Speaker 1: around or flying out, does it impact you? Guys all?

2780
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:34,760
Speaker 6: No, it's just I mean, it's just a part of it.

2781
02:03:34,840 --> 02:03:36,200
Speaker 15: I Mean you just kind of got to deal with

2782
02:03:36,240 --> 02:03:39,240
Speaker 15: it and find out what your routine is to help

2783
02:03:39,280 --> 02:03:40,640
Speaker 15: yourself recover as best you can.

2784
02:03:41,080 --> 02:03:41,960
Speaker 2: You like being on the road.

2785
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:43,760
Speaker 3: We've talked to you before about how well you take

2786
02:03:43,800 --> 02:03:46,839
Speaker 3: care of your body and everything like that. It's harder

2787
02:03:46,840 --> 02:03:49,560
Speaker 3: on the road, right because you might not necessarily have everything.

2788
02:03:49,600 --> 02:03:52,000
Speaker 3: They do a good job here of bringing the whole

2789
02:03:52,040 --> 02:03:55,160
Speaker 3: building with them when they travel. But what about that

2790
02:03:55,320 --> 02:03:57,360
Speaker 3: facet of it, Eric, when you're on the road and

2791
02:03:57,400 --> 02:03:59,280
Speaker 3: trying to take care of your body, get yourself ready

2792
02:03:59,280 --> 02:03:59,600
Speaker 3: to go.

2793
02:04:01,040 --> 02:04:04,440
Speaker 15: I think it's just the plane that's like the longest thing.

2794
02:04:04,480 --> 02:04:06,400
Speaker 15: Sitting on the plane for a long time, that's the

2795
02:04:06,440 --> 02:04:08,880
Speaker 15: biggest thing. And make sure your legs are you know,

2796
02:04:09,160 --> 02:04:11,360
Speaker 15: in the right spot for the next day, and make

2797
02:04:11,400 --> 02:04:12,240
Speaker 15: sure you hydrate it.

2798
02:04:12,320 --> 02:04:14,560
Speaker 2: So stand up a little bit, maybe get the get

2799
02:04:14,560 --> 02:04:15,320
Speaker 2: the kinks.

2800
02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:17,400
Speaker 6: Out, ye, move around, So that's the biggest name.

2801
02:04:17,400 --> 02:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Is lad gonna boycott the fried cheese curds for the

2802
02:04:20,400 --> 02:04:21,160

02:04:22,840 --> 02:04:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he might.

2805
02:04:25,400 --> 02:04:28,160
Speaker 2: It's just wait on a second. Is the cheese kurds

2806
02:04:28,160 --> 02:04:28,480
Speaker 2: a thing?

2807
02:04:28,520 --> 02:04:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean? Did you up with that?

2808
02:04:29,800 --> 02:04:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeahscons?

2809
02:04:31,640 --> 02:04:36,080
Speaker 6: Yea cheese wherever you want?

2810
02:04:36,280 --> 02:04:37,600
Speaker 2: So really healthy stuff.

2811
02:04:38,720 --> 02:04:39,640
Speaker 1: You've been to Wisconsin.

2812
02:04:39,720 --> 02:04:40,840
Speaker 2: No inflammation at all.

2813
02:04:41,720 --> 02:04:43,120
Speaker 6: It'll sit on your stomach a little bit.

2814
02:04:44,800 --> 02:04:46,840
Speaker 1: What Eric, I want to make sure you ask is

2815
02:04:46,880 --> 02:04:49,240
Speaker 1: the right way. What did the road trip to Minnesota

2816
02:04:49,280 --> 02:04:52,520
Speaker 1: and the game against the Vikings? How has that helped

2817
02:04:52,560 --> 02:04:54,440
Speaker 1: you guys? What are some of the lessons that maybe

2818
02:04:54,440 --> 02:04:56,440
Speaker 1: you learned from that loss to Minnesota?

2819
02:04:58,080 --> 02:05:01,920
Speaker 15: Just learning how to handle atmosphere. I believe it or not,

2820
02:05:01,920 --> 02:05:04,600
Speaker 15: it was the first time I've ever played there. Yeah,

2821
02:05:04,640 --> 02:05:08,360
Speaker 15: so just being able to handle atmosphere and understand what

2822
02:05:08,720 --> 02:05:11,680
Speaker 15: you're walking into and how to handle those early game emotions.

2823
02:05:11,760 --> 02:05:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2824
02:05:12,080 --> 02:05:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the noise. We talk about the noise for

2825
02:05:13,880 --> 02:05:17,120
Speaker 3: the offense, yeah, and for the defense. Crowds should be

2826
02:05:17,200 --> 02:05:21,240
Speaker 3: quiet when they're on offense. Does the noise affect you

2827
02:05:21,240 --> 02:05:23,240
Speaker 3: more at home when our crowd revs it up on

2828
02:05:23,320 --> 02:05:25,240
Speaker 3: third down? You got to get the communications straight.

2829
02:05:25,600 --> 02:05:25,720
Speaker 5: Uh?

2830
02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:28,760
Speaker 15: Not really, Uh, it just it helps overall because we

2831
02:05:28,800 --> 02:05:32,400
Speaker 15: got better communication just from the sideline and just overall here.

2832
02:05:32,520 --> 02:05:34,240
Speaker 6: So you just feel more comfortable.

2833
02:05:34,880 --> 02:05:38,440
Speaker 1: So if I say the words juicy lucy, is that

2834
02:05:38,560 --> 02:05:40,400
Speaker 1: something that's in your vernacular from how you.

2835
02:05:40,320 --> 02:05:42,800
Speaker 15: Spent years after you Yep, yep, that was the first

2836
02:05:42,840 --> 02:05:44,840
Speaker 15: time I had a juicy lucy. I had went to

2837
02:05:44,920 --> 02:05:47,240
Speaker 15: a bar and I'll never forget it.

2838
02:05:47,280 --> 02:05:47,800
Speaker 6: And I made it.

2839
02:05:47,840 --> 02:05:51,040
Speaker 15: I started making it at any barbecue we would have. Really,

2840
02:05:51,080 --> 02:05:53,440
Speaker 15: you know, they pretty easy to make, so yeah it's yeah,

2841
02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:54,480
Speaker 15: Burger would cheese in them.

2842
02:05:54,560 --> 02:05:55,280
Speaker 6: It was pretty.

2843
02:05:55,200 --> 02:05:57,960
Speaker 3: Okay, you're making them, Huh, you can make make that

2844
02:05:58,040 --> 02:05:58,560
Speaker 3: pretty easy.

2845
02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:01,240
Speaker 1: Because we went to a place called Matts, which I

2846
02:06:01,240 --> 02:06:04,240
Speaker 1: guess is pretty famous in Minneapolis. My nephew who lives there,

2847
02:06:04,320 --> 02:06:06,720
Speaker 1: said yeah, that's his spot. So and we raited like

2848
02:06:06,760 --> 02:06:08,000
Speaker 1: forty five minutes. It was worth it.

2849
02:06:08,080 --> 02:06:10,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's definitely worth it, just so loosely where it's

2850
02:06:10,280 --> 02:06:10,960
Speaker 6: at all.

2851
02:06:11,040 --> 02:06:16,120
Speaker 3: Right, So being from Wisconsin, Giannis, how big are we

2852
02:06:16,240 --> 02:06:21,200
Speaker 3: talking here? Is it Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre big. I

2853
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:24,480
Speaker 3: know the sport isn't the same level, but that's pretty

2854
02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:26,160
Speaker 3: special to win an NBA title?

2855
02:06:26,240 --> 02:06:26,680
Speaker 6: Yeah?

2856
02:06:26,720 --> 02:06:27,920
Speaker 3: So what are you thinking.

2857
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:28,960
Speaker 6: Here, Yiannis?

2858
02:06:29,480 --> 02:06:34,200
Speaker 15: H I if he stays in Milwaukee the whole time? Yeah,

2859
02:06:34,280 --> 02:06:39,640
Speaker 15: I think definitely superseedson. Oh okay, So just you know,

2860
02:06:39,680 --> 02:06:41,920
Speaker 15: from the conversations I have with my friends and just

2861
02:06:42,240 --> 02:06:45,560
Speaker 15: you know the people in Milwaukee, happened at NBA Championship.

2862
02:06:45,560 --> 02:06:47,640
Speaker 15: It was it was special. And I went to the finals.

2863
02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:50,720
Speaker 15: I went to a Game four in Milwaukee and it

2864
02:06:50,760 --> 02:06:51,600
Speaker 15: was it was amazing.

2865
02:06:51,680 --> 02:06:55,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's professors loved Milwaukee too. I think that's

2866
02:06:55,080 --> 02:06:57,240
Speaker 1: got to help too, because this is something that I

2867
02:06:57,400 --> 02:06:59,760
Speaker 1: know it gets talked about. You play for the Houston Texas,

2868
02:06:59,800 --> 02:07:02,880
Speaker 1: but you're not from Houston, you know. So you go

2869
02:07:02,960 --> 02:07:05,560
Speaker 1: where you're drafted, you go where you sign, all that

2870
02:07:05,600 --> 02:07:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, but it's not where you're from for

2871
02:07:07,440 --> 02:07:10,839
Speaker 1: the most part. So for players that have that connection

2872
02:07:10,960 --> 02:07:13,760
Speaker 1: to a particular city, when Yanna says, yeah, man, I

2873
02:07:13,800 --> 02:07:15,320
Speaker 1: love Milwaukee, I want to be here, I mean I

2874
02:07:15,360 --> 02:07:16,480
Speaker 1: think that matters, does it not?

2875
02:07:18,120 --> 02:07:20,680
Speaker 6: I think just for in the past what our market

2876
02:07:20,720 --> 02:07:21,600
Speaker 6: has been, you.

2877
02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:26,800
Speaker 15: Don't have like superstars you know that that play Milwaukee.

2878
02:07:26,800 --> 02:07:29,200
Speaker 15: So for him to be there and for him to

2879
02:07:29,280 --> 02:07:32,880
Speaker 15: edify how great the city is, I think, you know,

2880
02:07:33,240 --> 02:07:34,440
Speaker 15: that's why the city embraces them.

2881
02:07:35,240 --> 02:07:37,960
Speaker 1: It's a great city. So give us it Bucks outlook

2882
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:40,560
Speaker 1: this year Dame and Giannis together, thoughts.

2883
02:07:41,680 --> 02:07:42,760
Speaker 6: Just got to stay healthy.

2884
02:07:42,880 --> 02:07:46,040
Speaker 3: That's the biggest thing that's all of sports that's not familiar,

2885
02:07:47,440 --> 02:07:50,520
Speaker 3: that sounds familiar. Well, what are your observations about NBA

2886
02:07:50,640 --> 02:07:54,440
Speaker 3: players the way they operate versus the way NFL players

2887
02:07:54,440 --> 02:07:57,040
Speaker 3: have to operate. You have more games, it's not as punishing,

2888
02:07:57,080 --> 02:07:59,160
Speaker 3: but it's pretty punishing playing all those games. So what

2889
02:07:59,160 --> 02:07:59,560
Speaker 3: do you think?

2890
02:08:00,480 --> 02:08:03,720
Speaker 15: Just I feel like their days are longer because they

2891
02:08:03,920 --> 02:08:08,040
Speaker 15: actually work out on game days. We don't typically work

2892
02:08:08,080 --> 02:08:09,880
Speaker 15: out on game day. You can kind of wake up,

2893
02:08:09,920 --> 02:08:13,480
Speaker 15: you know, arrive and prepare. But they actually if they

2894
02:08:13,520 --> 02:08:15,600
Speaker 15: have a seven o'clock game. I watched a video with

2895
02:08:15,680 --> 02:08:18,320
Speaker 15: Lebron I think a couple of days ago. It's a

2896
02:08:18,360 --> 02:08:21,560

2903
02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:40,720
Speaker 1: when they would have a game, so he said, Oregon,

2904
02:08:40,800 --> 02:08:43,080
Speaker 1: when they have a game on Saturday, they would have

2905
02:08:43,160 --> 02:08:46,560
Speaker 1: a walkthrough on Thursday and a full practice the day

2906
02:08:46,640 --> 02:08:47,880
Speaker 1: before they played the game.

2907
02:08:48,240 --> 02:08:48,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's crazy.

2908
02:08:49,000 --> 02:08:51,160
Speaker 2: And the NFL they did the full practice on Saturday.

2909
02:08:51,280 --> 02:08:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Saturday moved back, or the NFLA moved back.

2910
02:08:54,240 --> 02:08:56,040
Speaker 1: So you have the full practice on Saturday, play the

2941
02:10:20,160 --> 02:10:22,640
Speaker 16: It's going good and we've had a good start to

2942
02:10:22,680 --> 02:10:25,560
Speaker 16: the year. Happy to be five and one with the

2943
02:10:25,640 --> 02:10:28,720
Speaker 16: team and uh rolling right now, so we feel pretty good.

2944
02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:31,200
Speaker 1: Jake. What's the linebacker room like with you know, you

2945
02:10:31,280 --> 02:10:35,240
Speaker 1: add Disease to the mix? Del Shawn comes in, Jamal's drafted.

2946
02:10:35,280 --> 02:10:36,880
Speaker 1: What's the kind of linebacker room like with some of

2947
02:10:36,920 --> 02:10:37,800
Speaker 1: the additions you guys.

2948
02:10:37,680 --> 02:10:41,040
Speaker 16: Have made, you know, as I can't say enough good

2949
02:10:41,080 --> 02:10:43,320
Speaker 16: things about Disease and how he stepped up as a

2950
02:10:43,400 --> 02:10:46,040
Speaker 16: leader for us, and uh really just been a role

2951
02:10:46,120 --> 02:10:48,400
Speaker 16: model for everyone in the room and how to how

2952
02:10:48,480 --> 02:10:50,520
Speaker 16: to do things and how to carry yourself as a pro.

2953
02:10:50,800 --> 02:10:53,320
Speaker 16: So I can't say enough good things about his leadership.

2954
02:10:54,080 --> 02:10:57,400
Speaker 16: Adding del Sean, that's my guy. I played with him at.

2955
02:10:57,320 --> 02:11:00,440
Speaker 1: Illinois, so right, yeah, it was a familiar roll over

2956
02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:00,960
Speaker 1: the place. Man.

2957
02:11:01,120 --> 02:11:04,280
Speaker 17: Yeah, he gets them a linea in here. So it's

2958
02:11:04,320 --> 02:11:04,760
Speaker 17: been great.

2959
02:11:04,880 --> 02:11:09,240
Speaker 16: He adds a great guy, another great special teams player

2960
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:12,720
Speaker 16: and great linebacker as well, so great addition.

2961
02:11:12,520 --> 02:11:12,840
Speaker 1: Of the room.

2962
02:11:12,880 --> 02:11:16,560
Speaker 16: And then scoobs at your young buck learning and growing.

2963
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:20,040
Speaker 16: He's gotten so much better too from defense a special

2964
02:11:20,080 --> 02:11:22,880
Speaker 16: team standpoint, he's uh, he's making strides every day.

2965
02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:24,880
Speaker 2: So it's it's been fun to watch.

2966
02:11:25,160 --> 02:11:27,680
Speaker 3: So, Jake, you're really good at special teams and you're

2967
02:11:27,720 --> 02:11:29,560
Speaker 3: really good at linebackers. So how hard is it to

2968
02:11:29,600 --> 02:11:32,280
Speaker 3: be really good at both and practice both the way

2969
02:11:32,360 --> 02:11:34,120
Speaker 3: you need to to be able to perform at a

2970
02:11:34,200 --> 02:11:35,280
Speaker 3: high level of sundays.

2971
02:11:35,640 --> 02:11:39,480
Speaker 16: It's hard, It's but you know it's that's why they

2972
02:11:39,560 --> 02:11:44,400
Speaker 16: pay us to play pro football, So it's something that

2973
02:11:44,520 --> 02:11:46,040
Speaker 16: you know, I try to take pride in being a

2974
02:11:46,320 --> 02:11:49,560
Speaker 16: good best teams player and special teams I think goes

2975
02:11:50,040 --> 02:11:53,520
Speaker 16: like it's another level on top of all your defensive preparations.

2976
02:11:53,560 --> 02:11:55,720
Speaker 16: So defensive preparation takes a certain amount of time and

2977
02:11:55,800 --> 02:11:56,720
Speaker 16: then you kind.

2978
02:11:56,560 --> 02:11:57,400
Speaker 1: Of just have to add on.

2979
02:11:57,560 --> 02:12:00,440
Speaker 17: It's not hey, you got to take less here more here.

2980
02:12:00,560 --> 02:12:02,600
Speaker 16: It's you can just have to add and continue to

2981
02:12:02,960 --> 02:12:05,160
Speaker 16: do more preparation to be ready to go in on

2982
02:12:05,320 --> 02:12:07,680
Speaker 16: defense and play on spect teams as well.

2983
02:12:07,960 --> 02:12:10,160
Speaker 3: Is there like a friendly competition with you and Neville?

2984
02:12:10,200 --> 02:12:11,920
Speaker 3: Like who could be better at special teams?

2985
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:13,600
Speaker 2: I want this, I want this.

2986
02:12:13,720 --> 02:12:14,880
Speaker 17: Stoporis of coury.

2987
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:16,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, I tell them, hey, hold them up, I'll make

2988
02:12:16,760 --> 02:12:18,560
Speaker 16: the tackle, make a check his speed, I'll go make

2989
02:12:18,600 --> 02:12:18,960
Speaker 16: the play.

2990
02:12:19,320 --> 02:12:19,560
Speaker 4: Okay.

2991
02:12:19,560 --> 02:12:21,640
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you because in the in the first

2992
02:12:21,960 --> 02:12:24,200
Speaker 1: game that has had ever been played in the NFL

2993
02:12:24,920 --> 02:12:27,680
Speaker 1: with the new kickoff rule, you make one heck of

2994
02:12:27,760 --> 02:12:31,040
Speaker 1: a stop. Yeah, but it was a pretty healthy collision

2995
02:12:31,440 --> 02:12:33,920
Speaker 1: about healthy, I mean probably not so much. So I'm

2996
02:12:33,960 --> 02:12:37,760
Speaker 1: gonna ask you, right unhealthy what what? What do you

2997
02:12:37,840 --> 02:12:40,720
Speaker 1: think about the kickoff rules? You know, after.

2998
02:12:42,440 --> 02:12:47,280
Speaker 17: After the first one, like, uh, when I we crashed.

2999
02:12:46,960 --> 02:12:49,480
Speaker 2: Out a little bit, it was, uh, I don't know.

3000
02:12:49,560 --> 02:12:50,320
Speaker 1: I didn't look like I.

3001
02:12:50,320 --> 02:12:52,040
Speaker 17: Didn't love it from a k R standpoint.

3002
02:12:52,080 --> 02:12:53,240
Speaker 5: It was taking a little bit long.

3003
02:12:53,120 --> 02:12:55,240
Speaker 17: To get used to as well, so at first I

3004
02:12:55,320 --> 02:12:55,880
Speaker 17: didn't like it.

3005
02:12:56,000 --> 02:12:59,280
Speaker 16: But all my plays on best teams so far has

3006
02:12:59,320 --> 02:13:01,120
Speaker 16: come on kickoff, so it's starting to grow on me

3007
02:13:01,200 --> 02:13:03,160
Speaker 16: quite a bit, and I'm starting to like get a

3008
02:13:03,200 --> 02:13:05,480
Speaker 16: good feel for it, and after a few weeks it's

3009
02:13:05,720 --> 02:13:07,920
Speaker 16: it's kind of it. It might be my new favorite

3010
02:13:08,440 --> 02:13:11,200
Speaker 16: teams because I've been able to factor the most on

3011
02:13:11,880 --> 02:13:15,080
Speaker 16: on those plays. And I think our kickoff team is

3012
02:13:15,160 --> 02:13:18,200
Speaker 16: kind of taking a different approach. We're forcing a lot

3013
02:13:18,240 --> 02:13:21,160
Speaker 16: of kicks and making guys block us. It's hard to

3014
02:13:21,240 --> 02:13:23,720
Speaker 16: do if ko is hard on the new I think

3015
02:13:23,760 --> 02:13:25,960
Speaker 16: it's harder on kickoff return than it is on kickoff,

3016
02:13:26,040 --> 02:13:29,360
Speaker 16: So I think the kickoff team has an advantage forcing

3017
02:13:29,360 --> 02:13:32,240
Speaker 16: them to take it out. And because we're everyone's still

3018
02:13:32,280 --> 02:13:34,080
Speaker 16: trying to learn the new blocking schemes and how to

3019
02:13:34,120 --> 02:13:36,720
Speaker 16: scheme people love and how to how to block like

3020
02:13:36,760 --> 02:13:38,600
Speaker 16: the Patriots or just face up. And then you have

3021
02:13:38,720 --> 02:13:40,280
Speaker 16: different teams that are trying to do like pin and

3022
02:13:40,320 --> 02:13:42,880
Speaker 16: pool run style plays. So it's just a lot of

3023
02:13:42,920 --> 02:13:47,160
Speaker 16: different learning And I'm sure next year the kickoff return

3024
02:13:47,200 --> 02:13:48,800
Speaker 16: will be a lot better and a lot harder, and

3025
02:13:49,080 --> 02:13:50,120
Speaker 16: they'll be better schemes.

3026
02:13:50,160 --> 02:13:53,400
Speaker 3: So, but you can't move if you're on kickoff return,

3027
02:13:53,520 --> 02:13:55,400
Speaker 3: you can't move until the ball is touched or hit

3028
02:13:55,720 --> 02:13:58,880
Speaker 3: hits the ground, right, Yeah, so you'll look back right

3029
02:13:59,280 --> 02:14:01,560
Speaker 3: and while you're looking looking back, that's a split second

3030
02:14:01,600 --> 02:14:02,880
Speaker 3: of time where you're not looking at the guy in

3031
02:14:02,920 --> 02:14:03,320
Speaker 3: front of you.

3032
02:14:03,400 --> 02:14:04,520
Speaker 2: So how do you handle all of that?

3033
02:14:05,560 --> 02:14:09,000
Speaker 16: So that's like another different schematic thing, like some coaches are, hey,

3034
02:14:09,080 --> 02:14:11,400
Speaker 16: don't look back, just look at your guy the whole time.

3035
02:14:11,920 --> 02:14:13,840
Speaker 17: And that's like New England was that.

3036
02:14:14,280 --> 02:14:16,800
Speaker 2: If he moves first, you're not violation.

3037
02:14:16,600 --> 02:14:19,919
Speaker 16: Exactly right, And I guess you could have a little awareness,

3038
02:14:20,040 --> 02:14:22,120
Speaker 16: but then once, once you're kind of getting ready to go,

3039
02:14:22,400 --> 02:14:24,640
Speaker 16: you just face up like that's how New England plays,

3040
02:14:25,080 --> 02:14:27,080
Speaker 16: And then some other teams have done it as well,

3041
02:14:27,200 --> 02:14:30,440
Speaker 16: but we're hey, take a quick drop, So it's like

3042
02:14:31,080 --> 02:14:34,240
Speaker 16: for us, it's a little bit more of hey, see

3043
02:14:34,280 --> 02:14:38,000
Speaker 16: the ball then and then get a quick burst flip

3044
02:14:38,240 --> 02:14:39,480
Speaker 16: to give yourself a little more time.

3045
02:14:40,480 --> 02:14:42,120
Speaker 1: Jake can even win in New England. I know you

3046
02:14:42,200 --> 02:14:45,560
Speaker 1: haven't been here for the seven contests prior to In fact,

3047
02:14:45,600 --> 02:14:48,080
Speaker 1: that was your first regular season game in New England,

3048
02:14:48,200 --> 02:14:50,720
Speaker 1: But were you guys aware of that? To coach make

3049
02:14:50,800 --> 02:14:52,360
Speaker 1: you aware of that? And I know in the locker

3050
02:14:52,400 --> 02:14:53,960
Speaker 1: room you gave everybody a game ball because it was

3051
02:14:53,960 --> 02:14:55,960
Speaker 1: the first time that the organization won in New England.

3052
02:14:56,000 --> 02:14:59,040
Speaker 1: But was that something that you guys were aware of

3053
02:14:59,200 --> 02:15:01,000
Speaker 1: going to New England, that being the first time? Hey,

3054
02:15:01,000 --> 02:15:02,320
Speaker 1: it was get the first one in New England. Did

3055
02:15:02,320 --> 02:15:03,760
Speaker 1: you guys know that going in? Yeah?

3056
02:15:03,800 --> 02:15:05,400
Speaker 16: I think the whole team was aware, and it was

3057
02:15:05,480 --> 02:15:08,280
Speaker 16: something that we were kind of going into the practice week.

3058
02:15:08,360 --> 02:15:11,480
Speaker 16: We wanted to like That's what kind of drove us

3059
02:15:11,520 --> 02:15:14,360
Speaker 16: and motivated us that practice to get going was Hey,

3060
02:15:14,400 --> 02:15:16,400
Speaker 16: we got to go get a first win in Foxborough,

3061
02:15:16,480 --> 02:15:19,280
Speaker 16: right and it was a great opportunity, a lot of

3062
02:15:19,280 --> 02:15:21,440
Speaker 16: tradition in that stadium, so it's cool to get get

3063
02:15:21,480 --> 02:15:21,880
Speaker 16: a win there.

3064
02:15:22,320 --> 02:15:25,640
Speaker 3: Jake Hanson with us, all Right, How strange is it, though,

3065
02:15:26,000 --> 02:15:28,840
Speaker 3: the last two years to be winning like this after

3066
02:15:28,920 --> 02:15:30,560
Speaker 3: what you went through in twenty twenty two that was

3067
02:15:30,600 --> 02:15:33,600
Speaker 3: a rough season, went through a lot of bumps and bruises,

3068
02:15:33,920 --> 02:15:36,880
Speaker 3: a lot of losses. But here you are last two years,

3069
02:15:36,960 --> 02:15:38,800
Speaker 3: last year, make the playoffs, this year off to a

3070
02:15:38,840 --> 02:15:41,600
Speaker 3: five and one start. How different is it the environment

3071
02:15:41,840 --> 02:15:44,120
Speaker 3: and just working for Tamiko Ryans and making this kind

3072
02:15:44,160 --> 02:15:45,600
Speaker 3: of having this kind of success.

3073
02:15:46,360 --> 02:15:48,920
Speaker 16: I would say there's a lot it's a lot more

3074
02:15:49,000 --> 02:15:52,000
Speaker 16: positive energy in the building. You know, it's and that

3075
02:15:52,120 --> 02:15:53,960
Speaker 16: starts with your head coach, like, he sets a great

3076
02:15:54,040 --> 02:15:56,200
Speaker 16: positive tone. And I'm sure you guys have heard he

3077
02:15:56,320 --> 02:15:58,520
Speaker 16: never coaches in negative He's trying to coach him positives

3078
02:15:58,520 --> 02:16:00,600
Speaker 16: all the time. So I think he sets a great

3079
02:16:00,640 --> 02:16:03,240
Speaker 16: tone for our organization and how we're showing up the

3080
02:16:03,320 --> 02:16:05,760
Speaker 16: work and how everyone's just happy to be here and

3081
02:16:05,880 --> 02:16:10,200
Speaker 16: having a lot of energy, and you know, he promotes

3082
02:16:10,240 --> 02:16:12,280
Speaker 16: that and says like he wants energy, we want to

3083
02:16:12,320 --> 02:16:17,240
Speaker 16: have those big plays. And yeah, I would say it

3084
02:16:17,360 --> 02:16:20,280
Speaker 16: makes work coming a lot, coming to work a lot easier,

3085
02:16:20,400 --> 02:16:21,760
Speaker 16: you know, and it makes it a lot more fun.

3086
02:16:21,840 --> 02:16:24,280
Speaker 16: It brings the fun back in football when you're winning

3087
02:16:24,360 --> 02:16:27,560
Speaker 16: games and there's energy and everyone wants to be here

3088
02:16:27,600 --> 02:16:29,000
Speaker 16: and everyone wants to put in the work.

3089
02:16:29,040 --> 02:16:30,520
Speaker 17: So it makes a big difference for us.

3090
02:16:31,040 --> 02:16:33,800
Speaker 1: So going to Lambo, trying to remember when was the

3091
02:16:33,879 --> 02:16:35,680
Speaker 1: last time we were at Lambo for a preseason game?

3092
02:16:35,760 --> 02:16:38,080
Speaker 1: Was that in twenty one one?

3093
02:16:38,360 --> 02:16:38,520
Speaker 6: Yep?

3094
02:16:38,959 --> 02:16:42,120
Speaker 1: So a, have you ever played in Lambo? B I

3095
02:16:42,160 --> 02:16:43,520
Speaker 1: know we're not all the way through kind of the

3096
02:16:43,560 --> 02:16:46,160
Speaker 1: preparation for the Packers, but your thoughts about facing the

3097
02:16:46,240 --> 02:16:47,120
Speaker 1: Packers at Lambo?

3098
02:16:48,120 --> 02:16:50,800
Speaker 17: You know, I've never played in Lambo, so my first time.

3099
02:16:50,920 --> 02:16:54,520
Speaker 16: Yeah, so I'm excited, real excited for a lot of

3100
02:16:54,560 --> 02:16:56,400
Speaker 16: tradition at this stadium as well.

3101
02:16:57,520 --> 02:16:59,680
Speaker 17: You know, they're they're a great team, they have great

3102
02:16:59,760 --> 02:17:00,280
Speaker 17: run game.

3103
02:17:00,360 --> 02:17:02,800
Speaker 16: They're obviously have one of the best quarterbacks in football

3104
02:17:02,840 --> 02:17:04,880
Speaker 16: as well, So there's gonna be a big challenge for

3105
02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:09,080
Speaker 16: us to stop both of those, right, you know, Josh

3106
02:17:09,200 --> 02:17:12,640
Speaker 16: Jacob's great running back, and uh, they have some good

3107
02:17:12,680 --> 02:17:14,800
Speaker 16: weapons on the outside, and Jordan Loves has been doing

3108
02:17:14,800 --> 02:17:17,080
Speaker 16: a great job getting them all the rock.

3109
02:17:17,240 --> 02:17:19,840
Speaker 3: So it is Big ten country and you're a Big

3110
02:17:19,959 --> 02:17:22,560
Speaker 3: ten guy, So how bizarre is it for you to

3111
02:17:22,640 --> 02:17:27,959
Speaker 3: see USC Washington these weird Big ten matchups. I'm still

3112
02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:30,199
Speaker 3: not used to it. I don't know how you feel, though.

3113
02:17:30,160 --> 02:17:32,080
Speaker 17: No, it's it's a lot different mile line.

3114
02:17:32,120 --> 02:17:35,200
Speaker 16: I are going to Oregon, Uh at Oregon this year

3115
02:17:35,360 --> 02:17:38,360
Speaker 16: and a Big ten game, Yeah, on the West Coast,

3116
02:17:38,440 --> 02:17:42,280
Speaker 16: and that's new, and I'm I'll be quite honest, I'm

3117
02:17:42,280 --> 02:17:43,680
Speaker 16: happy I don't got to go play in the West

3118
02:17:43,720 --> 02:17:44,680
Speaker 16: Coast in some of those games.

3119
02:17:44,720 --> 02:17:48,000
Speaker 1: Those are tough travel schedule for them. So but it's

3120
02:17:48,080 --> 02:17:48,680
Speaker 1: it's different.

3121
02:17:48,800 --> 02:17:52,240
Speaker 16: I prefer the Big ten West and the East, and

3122
02:17:53,120 --> 02:17:54,560
Speaker 16: the winners of the West and East are in the

3123
02:17:54,600 --> 02:17:56,800
Speaker 16: Big ten Chip and just kind of how it was

3124
02:17:56,879 --> 02:18:00,360
Speaker 16: for a while. But it's new, and you know, it's

3125
02:18:00,360 --> 02:18:03,000
Speaker 16: a new age of college football, so I'm sure it'll

3126
02:18:03,000 --> 02:18:06,240
Speaker 16: grow on me soon. And even keeping up a college

3127
02:18:06,280 --> 02:18:09,120
Speaker 16: football now, it's starting to grow on me a lot more.

3128
02:18:09,280 --> 02:18:12,000
Speaker 16: Just a new it's not really power five, it's just

3129
02:18:12,400 --> 02:18:15,200
Speaker 16: you know, it's a lot different when you were in college.

3130
02:18:15,280 --> 02:18:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, your boys in Illinois playing well, I mean

3131
02:18:17,840 --> 02:18:21,000
Speaker 1: only only the one loss, have been playing very very well.

3132
02:18:21,600 --> 02:18:25,000
Speaker 1: They play Michigan this week games at Illinois. What place

3133
02:18:25,120 --> 02:18:27,840
Speaker 1: did you enjoy going to the most when you were

3134
02:18:27,920 --> 02:18:30,240
Speaker 1: playing at Illinois, Like what stadium did you or what

3135
02:18:30,440 --> 02:18:31,920
Speaker 1: environment did you enjoy the most?

3136
02:18:32,040 --> 02:18:33,640
Speaker 17: I always really like playing in Nebraska.

3137
02:18:33,959 --> 02:18:34,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.

3138
02:18:34,640 --> 02:18:37,560
Speaker 16: Nebraska was always a really a really cool because I

3139
02:18:37,600 --> 02:18:42,160
Speaker 16: played there my freshman almost freshman year. I played there

3140
02:18:43,520 --> 02:18:46,360
Speaker 16: and I didn't hear much about Nebraska or what it

3141
02:18:46,480 --> 02:18:48,640
Speaker 16: was gonna be like. And it's they sell out every

3142
02:18:48,680 --> 02:18:53,080
Speaker 16: freaking game. They fans are honestly, the fans are great people.

3143
02:18:53,200 --> 02:18:56,840
Speaker 16: They just cheer hard and they're all die hard Nebraska fans.

3144
02:18:56,879 --> 02:18:58,720
Speaker 16: So I feel like you can't really beat that. The

3145
02:18:58,760 --> 02:19:01,080
Speaker 16: stadium's beautiful, a great stadium.

3146
02:19:01,200 --> 02:19:03,560
Speaker 3: So, Jake, you're from the west coast of Florida. Did

3147
02:19:03,600 --> 02:19:06,360
Speaker 3: everybody make it to the hurricane? Okay, yeah, everyone was

3148
02:19:06,400 --> 02:19:10,600
Speaker 3: all good. Appreciate you asking. Lost a little power for like,

3149
02:19:10,680 --> 02:19:12,720
Speaker 3: I think, twelve hours, but that's not bad.

3150
02:19:12,800 --> 02:19:13,480
Speaker 17: Yeah, not bad at all.

3151
02:19:13,600 --> 02:19:15,920
Speaker 16: Better than some of the people in Houston losing power

3152
02:19:16,280 --> 02:19:19,160
Speaker 16: back when we had our little tropical storm hurricanes.

3153
02:19:19,280 --> 02:19:22,199
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. We talked about this a little bit this summer.

3154
02:19:22,560 --> 02:19:26,880
Speaker 1: Right after Texas traded for Steph. You and I talked

3155
02:19:26,879 --> 02:19:28,560
Speaker 1: and you said, yeah, yeah, I worked out with him.

3156
02:19:28,600 --> 02:19:31,240
Speaker 1: I don't understand what everybody was saying about this guy.

3157
02:19:31,360 --> 02:19:33,320
Speaker 1: Like I watched this guy work out. He works out hard.

3158
02:19:33,560 --> 02:19:35,199
Speaker 1: You kind of had a front row seat of seeing

3159
02:19:35,240 --> 02:19:37,080
Speaker 1: what Steph was all about when he got here. I

3160
02:19:37,160 --> 02:19:38,920
Speaker 1: know you don't want to share the whole conversation, but

3161
02:19:39,200 --> 02:19:41,360
Speaker 1: what did you see in him that you thought, Yeah,

3162
02:19:41,360 --> 02:19:43,119
Speaker 1: you know what this guy is gonna be. He's gonna

3163
02:19:43,120 --> 02:19:44,879
Speaker 1: be one of us. So he's gonna fit in really well.

3164
02:19:45,640 --> 02:19:47,760
Speaker 16: I mean yeah, so yeah, I saw him in the

3165
02:19:49,160 --> 02:19:52,240
Speaker 16: in the off season. We're at the same training facility

3166
02:19:52,280 --> 02:19:56,000
Speaker 16: for a few days and everyone, I mean, you know,

3167
02:19:56,040 --> 02:19:58,320
Speaker 16: who Stephan Diggs is. Like, he's a big name in football,

3168
02:19:58,400 --> 02:20:02,280
Speaker 16: so I know who he is. And there's a I

3169
02:20:02,360 --> 02:20:04,400
Speaker 16: think there was a The media kind of has given

3170
02:20:04,440 --> 02:20:06,600
Speaker 16: him a bad rap, at least the Buffalo media and

3171
02:20:06,720 --> 02:20:10,800
Speaker 16: other organizations have kind of given him a bad rap.

3172
02:20:10,879 --> 02:20:13,360
Speaker 16: But I mean, all I've seen from Steph is him

3173
02:20:13,400 --> 02:20:16,279
Speaker 16: coming to work every single day. And in our workout

3174
02:20:16,360 --> 02:20:18,120
Speaker 16: it was that I think he was going to another

3175
02:20:18,160 --> 02:20:19,280
Speaker 16: workout later that day.

3176
02:20:19,440 --> 02:20:22,000
Speaker 1: So it was like he's hitting two days.

3177
02:20:21,760 --> 02:20:25,720
Speaker 16: In March, and it's like I'm like grinding through one,

3178
02:20:25,879 --> 02:20:27,960
Speaker 16: trying to get through one, and I'm like, dang, So

3179
02:20:28,040 --> 02:20:30,959
Speaker 16: these you could just tell he I mean, every aspect

3180
02:20:31,000 --> 02:20:33,000
Speaker 16: of football in the preparation, he loves it and he's

3181
02:20:33,160 --> 02:20:34,960
Speaker 16: trying to be the best version of himself.

3182
02:20:35,000 --> 02:20:36,480
Speaker 1: That's why he's had the success he's had.

3183
02:20:36,600 --> 02:20:39,200
Speaker 3: So all right, one more, I've promised Johnny to not
