1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: It's time to break it all down, what happened and why. 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: Welcome to Texans Monday, presented by Houston Methodist. Sean I'm 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: third damps today eight for nine. Here's the snap. Watson looking, Watson, pumping, 4 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: Watson dancing away from trouble to the right sideline and 5 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,240 Speaker 1: he throws deep down field and it's intercepted by Mike Hilton, 6 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: who slides down at the twenty one yard line. Oh boy, 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: that was rough right there, that drive. That was the 8 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: only drive in which the Texans didn't go three and 9 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: out in the second half. On offense, they had four possessions. 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: Good morning, Texans Monday, presented by Houston Methodist. And we 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: wish it was a better morning, but this is what 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: we've got. And it's kind of like dreary outside, although hey, 13 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: I'm taking the cool temperatures any which way I can 14 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: get them. Mark Vanderbair and John Harris with you. John 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,319 Speaker 1: McClean at eight thirty, Andre Ware at nine. You'll hear 16 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: from some Texans along the way and will set the 17 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: landscape in the NFL. And the landscape includes an owing 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: three Texans team. Johnny and I want to start right 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: there with that pick I felt like at the time, look, 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: that is hardly ideal, but you know, they got a 21 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: possession at the twenty one yard line. Watson's trying to 22 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: make a playoff third and long. I mean, it's if 23 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: you punt it, you can pin him deep, but also 24 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: if you put it it can roll into the end 25 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: zone and there at the twenty. Anyway, I don't mind 26 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: Watson trying to make a play, especially you know Kenny. Look, 27 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what he was thinking there. If he 28 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: keeps running, he might have a chance at it. Maybe 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: he thought something else. Who knows. They weren't on the 30 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: same page, But we've seen Watson pull a rabbit out 31 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: of the half before considering the field position. Granted the opponent, 32 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: it was a risk reward thing. And I don't know 33 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: how you feel, but I wasn't totally upset with the 34 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: fact that he took that risk at the time on 35 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: third and fifteen. Yeah, yes, and no. First of all, 36 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: on that play, I was standing right in line with 37 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: where Will was Will Fullerton. I thought he was throwing 38 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: it to Will. That's where I thought he was going 39 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: with the football was to Will. But but I they 40 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: didn't show anything. Was replays in the uh in the 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: stadium that I remember because I want to say we 42 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: went right to a break after that, and so I 43 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: didn't I didn't see that. I didn't see that replay 44 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: in the building. So I you guys were talking about it, 45 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: because they were showing some replays where you guys were 46 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: watching it and seeing it, and so I couldn't tell 47 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: if he was actually throwing it to Will or throwing it. 48 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: I thought he was throwing it to Will because Will 49 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: was open, and I was like, dude, fire he's found 50 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: Will across the middle of a few times today. Go 51 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: ahead and fire it to Will and get what you 52 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: can and maybe you get it first down. Maybe keep 53 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,119 Speaker 1: this thing alive. And then to me, I mentioned this 54 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: during one of the times you threw it down to me, 55 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: and neither one of you guys caught it, and I 56 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: was like, m I said, go down, put one in 57 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: the end zone, and then take an eight or a 58 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: nine point lead, And neither one of you said anything, 59 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: like wait, a secon, why would they take a nine 60 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: point lead? Why woul they go for two? And I 61 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: was like that has been a question that has kind 62 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: of it came up in one game this weekend where 63 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: a team scored to go up seven, so they were 64 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: up six. I'm sorry they were. They were up one, right, 65 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: they were up one. They scored to go up seven, 66 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: and they thought, I was, well, wait a second. And 67 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: it was later in a game like under two minutes, 68 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: like do you go for two here? And essentially dare 69 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: them on the other side to go for two, go 70 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: for two here to go up nine, because now it's 71 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: a two score game, and I don't know if they 72 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: got enough time to do that. Now, there's plenty of 73 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: time to students to have two possessions, but when they 74 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: have gone off too either way, it's a moo point 75 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: because you know, Sean ended up obviously throwing an interception. 76 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: So I couldn't see. I didn't see whether Kenny I 77 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: was I wasn't watching Kenny. I was watching Will on 78 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: that play. Here was the other thing about that, and 79 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: that was I I thought that they're at the Pittsburgh 80 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: forty three. So you get a ten yard game, you're 81 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: flipping out the DJ, you're throwing out the eight, you 82 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: throw one, you know, across the middle of the cooks. 83 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: You get ten twelve yards. Kymie Bangs went home is 84 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: twenty four twenty. Now the studios did still come down 85 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: and score. I understand completely, they still came down and scored, 86 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: But there's a different feeling when you're all right, well 87 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: they came out scorers twenty seven, twenty four. Look, we 88 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: need a field goal to tie it. At minimum, touchdown 89 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: wins this thing, let's go. I just there's a different 90 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: field that goes with that, as opposed to you know, 91 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: we've been up this game. We've been you know, up 92 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: fourteen to three. You know, we even took the lead 93 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: back at twenty one seventeen. We've had this thing onto 94 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and now all of a sudden they're 95 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: by a touchdown. And just think that there was kind 96 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: of this like, oh you just kind of feel it, 97 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: even without the people in the building. I just kind 98 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: of feel them the sideline. That was kind of the vibe. 99 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: And then of course the Texans went three and out essentially, 100 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: and they get the wall back to Steelers and steels 101 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: round the last five minutes of the clock. So from 102 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: that perspective, that play ends up being huge. But you know, 103 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: I don't often I don't know if it's say this, 104 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: I want to Sean to go get what he can 105 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: but at third and fifteen. But the way the offense 106 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: is playing in the in the second half, if you 107 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: were just able to put any points upon the board 108 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: at that particular moment, I would have felt like, Okay, 109 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: we're in we're in good stead. So I don't know 110 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: you're at You're at the forty three though, and he's 111 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: flushed out of the pocket. Now it's now it's you know, 112 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: go time. It's either I throw it away and we're 113 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: prenting because we're not gonna kick a field goal from there, 114 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: or I'm gonna take a risk here and look in 115 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: a hindsight everything. Look, I'm not great with it. I'm 116 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: just saying that. I just think the kids trying to 117 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: make a play, and he's understanding, I'm running from my 118 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: life over here. Everybody scrambled with me. Let's get open 119 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: down field. Because he took a hit by t J. 120 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: Watt on that play, which I thought should have been flagged. 121 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 1: I mean, Wat's coming with the helmet right to his chest, 122 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: which you are not allowed to do, a letter of 123 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: the law penalty, and they missed it. There were a 124 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: couple of those yesterday, Mark, there were a couple of 125 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: those I remember, and I want that replay. They showed 126 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: the hit. I do remember that. I remember they showed 127 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: the the hit. Deshaun was a step like he had 128 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: his right foot had hit out of bounds when TJ 129 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: was hitting him and delivered a pretty hard shot because 130 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: the Shaun took a little while to get up from 131 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: that shot, because I saw him on a sideline down 132 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: for a little bit, and I'm just like, oh, I 133 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: knew somebody was down. I think you even mentioned it 134 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: that somebody was down and that was Deshaun, and I'm like, oh, no, listen, 135 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't I In order of how I would have 136 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: looked at that, Hey, let's get what we can and 137 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: maybe give Kamie show. Here's the flip side of that. 138 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: Here's the flip side of that. At Kansas City, right 139 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: before the half fifty one yard or on Grass missed. 140 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: It gave Kansas City an opportunity to go down. You're 141 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: only up one, so if you get ten yards miss it, 142 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 1: you're giving them the ball at their forty with plenty 143 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: of time to go down and do something. And with 144 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: plenty of time to go down and do something at 145 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: that particularly point, you're gonna give them not a short 146 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: field but not the long field. The interception, they get 147 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: the ball about the twenty. Like you said, if a 148 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: punt roll in the end zone, they the ball about 149 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: the same spot. But to me, the drive that followed 150 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: the interception mark I think encapsulated really where we were 151 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: on the day because they on they get a third down, 152 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: they hit Ebron, who we know as a thorn on 153 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,559 Speaker 1: our side. They had a third and one, Benny Snell 154 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: picked it up. They had a third and two. Roethlisberger 155 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: advanced McDonald. They got it all the way down. They're 156 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: just and then in between that it was it was 157 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: James Connor right tackle eleven yards, James Connor left and 158 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: eight yards, James connerft the middle for four, James Connor 159 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: right tackle for twelve. I mean that was James Connor's drive, 160 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: and they it was just kind of old school football. 161 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: It's like we're gonna pull, We're gonna pin and pull 162 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: and see if you can stop it. And at that point, 163 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: the defense was fueling the effects of forty one plays 164 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Sorry for the second half of 165 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: the Steelers to seventeen. The defense was fueling these They 166 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: were feeling that in the second half, and you know, 167 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: you can say anything about conditioning and being in shape 168 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: or whatever. Look, it was not a Houston I mentioned 169 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: this during the game. It was not a Houston type 170 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: temperature day. But when you're facing a team that physical, 171 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there's got to be a conversion factor for 172 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: the number of degrees your body goes up when you're 173 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: facing a team that is that physical. But that drive 174 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: was was really that Ben converted on third downs when 175 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: he needed to, James Connor and the offensive line took 176 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: over against a defense that was starting to wear down 177 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: and tire a little bit, and they took advantage of 178 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: it all the way down the field. Um. And then 179 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: when they get the ball back with four forty seven 180 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: Connor twenty five yards, Connor four yards, Snell four yards, 181 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: Connor one, Ben Roethlisberger hits a pass, Snell two Snell 182 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: minus one Roethlisberger Clay Week drive where they ran it 183 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: on every play. You remember that, where they ran it 184 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: on every play of the drive. And they eventually I 185 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: don't know if they scored an out, but they ate 186 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: up a huge chuck of time. All right, let's hear 187 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: from Bill O'Brien. Obviously, a tale of two halves yesterday. 188 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: They led at the break, I mean they were They 189 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: were leaving fourteen three at one point, and they led 190 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: twenty one seventeen at the half. But in the second 191 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: half a different story. Here's the head coach. You know, 192 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: give Pittsburgh credit. They did a good job of possessing 193 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: the ball. We went three and out, and you know, 194 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: so offensively, we have to do a much better job 195 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: in the second half. We ended the first half of 196 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: a good drive and then we didn't do anything in 197 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: the second half and defense was on the field too long. Defense, 198 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, they have to get off the field. To 199 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: give Pittsburgh credit. They ran the ball well, and you 200 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: know we weren't able to do that, and so we 201 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: have to we you know, again, we have to work 202 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: hard to improve and get our sites set on Minnesota. 203 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: All right. Watson had one of the best first halfs 204 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: in the history of the franchise. Fourteen of eighteen, two 205 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: hundred two yards, two tds, no picks, quarterback rating one fifty. 206 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: I think mat job is the only one who ever 207 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: did any better. I think it was the Tampa Bay 208 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: game of twenty eleven. Anyway, here's Deshaun Watson on the 209 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: tail of two halves. He just didn't find a balance. Um, 210 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: you didn't establish a run and we just didn't make 211 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: enough place honestly, So that just kind of bet fired 212 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: on us. And pis Burman enough plays to score i 213 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: think answer points in the second half and it just 214 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: went against us. Well, that zipper audio, by the way, 215 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: I saw that on video him him zipping up his 216 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: sweats or whatever, his warm up, warm up suit, his sweats. 217 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: What are you? Is that the seventies term for it? Anyway, 218 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: And I'm wondered if you'd hear that on the Yeah, 219 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if we'd hear that on the audio the 220 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: next day, and we did so anyway, But he hit 221 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: on it, Johnny, this team is not running the football. 222 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: I mean, let's just bring let's bring out the elephant 223 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 1: in the room. We could talk about defense all day 224 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: long and inability to stop the run, but it's always, 225 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: you know, it's sands of the hourglass, days of our lives. 226 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: It's are you filling this side of the ledger, meaning 227 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ledger with first downs, with 228 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: your time consuming drives. They're not all gonna be like that, 229 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: but you need some of them because that keeps your 230 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: defense off the field. This just in and as good 231 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: as the first half looked on the scoreboard with twenty 232 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: one points a season high at the time in a game, 233 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: and it still is, but they didn't score in the 234 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: second half. The first downs were earned by this Eleven 235 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: first downs on the first half, ten of them through 236 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: the air, one of them on the ground. Look, that's 237 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: not crazy stuff, but I bring it up to point 238 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: this out. They are second to last in the league 239 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: in running the football. Only the Giants are worse in 240 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: rushing yards produced, and they have Barkley out. So the 241 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: Texans have one hundred ninety eight rushing yards on the 242 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: year through three games. They haven't hit the two hundred 243 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: mark yet. This is not Texans football, you know. You know, 244 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: say whatever you want about Bill O'Brien, and I get 245 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: the criticism and everything in three and nobody wants to 246 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: be going three. But this team runs the football. But 247 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: the Bill O'Brien Texans need to run the football and 248 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: they're not doing it right now, and that is a 249 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: big problem. They got to figure out a way to 250 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: get that going. Yeah, Mark, you hit right on it. 251 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: And when when you started right after I spoke you said, Yo, 252 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: let's not talk about the defense and you know it 253 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: struggles in the second half. Let's talk about the run game. 254 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: And you know as well as I do, and I 255 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: know exactly what you're saying. It's they're all tied in together. 256 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: It's all tied in together, because there's got to be 257 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: a way that you can get off the field in 258 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: the second half. And it's hard when a team has 259 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: got twelve thirteen play drives and you're out in the 260 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: field for a long time. When you turn the ball 261 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: back over the offense and it's a it's a three 262 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: and out, and it's a three and out. And by 263 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: by not running the ball effectively in the second half, 264 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: in particular, when the defense really needed to rest it 265 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: and I could, I could feel it. I could see 266 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: when the defense was getting up, like man, you know, 267 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: you can just tell there was that feeling of not 268 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: dread and then guys know they got go do their job. 269 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: It's not really that, but it's like, dang man, all right, 270 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: well we gotta go, we gotta go. Say this thing. 271 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: The offense running the football is an issue. It's a 272 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: major issue. And whether it's not getting movement, especially with 273 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: their double teams and just watching the game the last 274 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. That's one note that I've made is guys, 275 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, they're double teaming guys, but they're not getting 276 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: guys moved off the ball. And because they're not getting 277 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: guys moved off the ball, when the guy comes off 278 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: the double team, now it's just the one on one 279 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: where it's been a stalemate already, and then that guy 280 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: shards and he's he's on the tackle. Um, you know, 281 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: there's been some of that. We haven't seen to Sean 282 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: run the ball other than other than um here the 283 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: times that he scrambled. And Deshaun is usually a big, 284 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: a big part of the running game, and I don't 285 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: know where he finished with one carry for five yards. Yeah, 286 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: so that, you know what, let's let's take that's interesting 287 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: because that's usually and Build usually says it. He's like, look, 288 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: Deshawn's usually thirty five to four yards of our run 289 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: game and yeah, five yards yesterday, right, and guess who's 290 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: out Duke Johnson. So it DeShawn. Look, you don't want 291 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: to have, you know, like, let's have Deshaun carry the 292 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: ball seventeen times a game. Obviously you don't want to 293 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: do that. And I get it that you want to 294 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: reduce his exposure, There's no question about that. But you know, 295 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: even in the course of regular passing game action. You know, 296 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: I'm watching quarterbacks all around the league, and Watson is 297 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: usually one of them. Just take it on, take it 298 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: upon themselves to get some yards on the ground and 299 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: slide and get onto the next play. You know, pick 300 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: up a first down that way, pick up a few yards, 301 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: pick up a chunk here and a chunk there, and 302 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: they couldn't do it. Now, look, this is an outstanding defense. 303 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: We all understand this. Yeah, Pittsburgh's defense, and it's very 304 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: difficult to get anything done against them. But you need 305 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: to get done more than twenty one points as clumsily 306 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: as I said that, Johnny. Here's the other thing. I mean, look, 307 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: the gauntlet of the schedule appears to lighten up a 308 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: little bit. Now look, I'm not saying, you know that 309 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: this is going to solve everybody's problem in the world. 310 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: The last two times the Texans were three games under 311 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: five hundred, they won the division. And again I'm not 312 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: saying that that's gonna happen again. I mean, that's you 313 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: hate to draw from things like that. But I do 314 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: that because I know it's a long year, and I 315 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: know that you know, there are many chapters left in 316 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: the book here, and the next one is Sunday against 317 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: the Vikings, who are also owing three, which none of 318 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: us thought would be the case when this matchup showed 319 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: up on the schedule. We thought, no, the Vikes are 320 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: going to come in here, and you know they'll at 321 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: least split with the AFC South teams. They lost to 322 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: the Colts and the Titans, and look, they played the 323 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: Packers opening Day. That's a tough one for them always, 324 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: and for some reason they can't beat them at home lately. 325 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: But man, this is gonna be a real telltale game 326 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: to me because they're having some problems. You know that 327 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: they've blown leads. They could would have showed it yesterday 328 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: against the Titans. I was actually rooting for them. I mean, 329 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: I really wanted to put a loss on Tennessee and 330 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: I didn't care. I'd rather have Minnesota coming in here, 331 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: fat and happy. But they've got some weapons that are 332 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: absolute destroyers when you look at Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson. 333 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: But to me, it appears that the schedule is gonna 334 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: get a little friendlier here. I'm not saying that automatically 335 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: translates into wins, but it better translated to better performances, 336 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: and I hope wins. Yeah, no question. And here's the 337 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: thing I kept thinking about. This has kept popping on 338 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: my head after tonight, only because the Ravens and Chiefs 339 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: are playing one another. We will face two three no 340 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: teams and a Tune one team. The Vikings facing Week 341 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: one Packers three oh Colts the next week Tune one, 342 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: and they face the titan gesterday three and oh. So 343 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: the Vikings are probably looking at the same thing, going, hey, 344 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: look man, we started off with we started off with 345 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: two three no teams, a two one team. They start 346 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: off with two three no teams and a Tune one team. 347 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: We're kind of the same boat. So I don't want 348 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: to say that. Look you go to oh and four. 349 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: I think only one team that's gone on four made 350 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs at some point. But this is twenty twenty 351 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 1: and God only knows how weird this year has already been, 352 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: and who knows what can go on. But to that end, Mark, 353 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: here's the thing, win or lose. Look, I want to 354 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: win in the worst way I always I saw this. 355 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: I saw somebody put this on Twitter somewhere. They said 356 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't pretty, but it was a win. And we 357 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: often say that, and I used to say over the 358 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: last couple of years when people will be like, well, 359 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: you know it's not pretty. They're winning ugly, I'm like, 360 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: show me an ugly show me an ugly win, show 361 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: me an ugly Do I care about an ugly win? No, 362 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: I care because it's a win. Show me a pretty loss. Yeah, 363 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: and I'll show you a loss. I mean, it's it 364 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: doesn't come down to that. But I just think right now, 365 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: I'll take a three to two win. I don't I 366 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: don't care how. They just get to a point where 367 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: they have more points than the other team when zero's 368 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: around the clock. Just get to a win where you 369 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: feel like there's a little bit of valuation for all 370 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: the hard work you've been putting in and all that 371 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: you've been going through a twenty twenty and all the 372 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: COVID tests and all the crap that's gone on, and 373 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: you gotta win. Like, okay, good, got one. Now we're 374 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 1: on our way. Now let's now let's get rolling. Okay, 375 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: who's after the Vikings. Now this team can't be thinking 376 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 1: about who's after the Vikings, But they've got to think 377 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: about what do we have to do for sixty minutes 378 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: to have more points than that other team? What do 379 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: we need to do and figure that out, and figure 380 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: it out fast, because Sunday I'll be here. Before we 381 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: know it, fans will be in that building, and hope 382 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: with the fans will help give this team some juice 383 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: that it needs and they can get a situation where 384 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 1: they're not in the game where the opponent runs seventy 385 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: six place to your forty seven. I mean, when you 386 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: look at it, God Mark, I just I just looked 387 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: at this. I have average yards per offensive play. We 388 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: were at five point five, the seams at five point one. 389 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean, wow, well that's an amazing stat right there. Yeah, 390 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: but it shows you, you know, you couldn't you three 391 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: and out in the second half. I mean the first 392 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: half you did fine relatively. You still weren't running the ball, 393 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: but you were doing much better. Obviously, you had the lead, 394 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: you were scoring, Watson was playing well that drive. The 395 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: way they played at the end of the first half, 396 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: you know, I think we'd all love to see a 397 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: little bit more of that, you know, that that hurry 398 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: up kind of feel, because it just he looks so 399 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: comfortable in that mode. And I know you can't do 400 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: it the whole game, but maybe they should start that way. 401 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. As I say that, I'm remind myself 402 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: of what I just said a few minutes ago that 403 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: in this era, running the ball. I'm not saying running 404 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: on first and second down every time, but running the ball, 405 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: the running game is a staple. So I know you 406 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: haven't liked all of the results everybody like, but you've 407 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: won divisions. You've gotten where you've gotten by being a 408 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: balanced or a more balanced team. Anyway, After the game, 409 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: J J. Watt obviously was asked about a number of things, 410 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: but here as general thoughts on the outcome on Sunday afternoon. 411 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: I don't think it one will. I mean going to 412 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: half up twenty one to twenty as a defensive player, 413 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: if you don't give up another point, you win the game. 414 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: And we give up a touchdown unfortunately, so I didn't 415 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: win the game. Gotta find a way to finish games. 416 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,959 Speaker 1: Got to find a way to finish this game, and 417 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: we didn't. And gotta make a player gotta make a 418 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: stop and it's I mean, everybody saw the Watt family 419 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: reunion picks from before the game. After the game, JJ 420 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: talked with his brothers and I just saw the video 421 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: of that. Obviously, no one was eavesdropping on that conversation 422 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: that I know about, but obviously it didn't look happy. 423 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: I mean, look, oh, in three, you know you're playing 424 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: your butts off. You're trying to get a win here. 425 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: The defense is getting leveraged in the ground game by 426 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: the Steeler attack, and the Steeler defense did a steel 427 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: curtain impersonation. I mean, when you can't get inside the 428 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: forty three, I guess they were five yards inside that. 429 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 1: I guess they got to the thirty eight and then 430 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: eventually third and fifteen. But you know, you can't you 431 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: can't get into field goal range in the second half. 432 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: Couldn't even get another point on the board in the 433 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: second half. That is monumentally disappointing considering the way you 434 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: were playing in the first half. You know, and being 435 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: on the road is tough. Everybody knows it. The schedule 436 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: is tough. Everybody knows it. I think people just want 437 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: to see, you know, better performance. I get that, even 438 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: in a loss, and people understand that the schedule is brutal, 439 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: but like I said, you know, maybe there's some cracks 440 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: of sun through the clouds when you look at what's 441 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: down the line here Vikings and then the Jags, and 442 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: then you have a showdown in Nashville, and you know, 443 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: when you get into your divisional games, and Bill O'Brien 444 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: pointed this out quickly yesterday. They haven't played anybody in 445 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: the division yet. When you get into your divisional games, 446 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: every time you get a win, you pin a loss 447 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: on them. This is math, folks, and uh, you know 448 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: you know that math one against yeah, I can't do that. 449 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: The first one with Tennessee is gonna be huge. I 450 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: mean just huge, and you hope you get there adding 451 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: a two game winning streak and then you have a 452 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: chance to sort of, you know, make some not make 453 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: some hay necessarily, but you know, just make some inroads 454 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: towards getting back into this thing. The Titans have the 455 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: Steelers this weekend at their place, but it's still the Steelers, 456 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: and go Steelers. Okay, now that we're through with that 457 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: run away with that one Pittsburgh and then they got 458 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: the Bills that so they have back to back games, 459 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: and wait, how is this possible? Do they have three 460 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: in a row in Nashville? Am I looking at this right? 461 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: They might? They might? Yeah, they might, they might because 462 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: the October eighteenth. Yeah, that's kind of the way the 463 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: schedule has gone. Seemingly they have three in a row 464 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: in Nashville. Wow, Okay, I mean, look, here's I know 465 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people would say, you'd rather be three, 466 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: you know, than oh and three. There's no question about that. 467 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: And it kind of goes to my point earlier. I've 468 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: watched the Titans. I watched the Titans and Broncos game, 469 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: and then they played who they played last week? Um, 470 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 1: dang it? Who they played? The Titans played the Jags. 471 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, they played the Jacks. And then they 472 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: played yesterday against the Vikings. And you're sitting there going, look, now, 473 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: I haven't watched the game against the Vikings, but I 474 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: didn't feel like either one of those games that was 475 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: overly impressed with anything that they were doing. They to 476 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: me looked like the Titans that I've always seen, and 477 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: they're sitting at three and oh and so yeah. Weird 478 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: things happen in a year where you can play like 479 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: you know we're playing okay, but we're fighting a way 480 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: to win, or you know, we're having good stretches of play, 481 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: but we just can't finish games, which is where we've been. 482 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: You asked me this question during the week. It was 483 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: a who's better question? Ravens defense, Steelers defense. And it's 484 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: interesting because through three weeks in the year, it's like 485 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: we have a lot of comparison points, like Ravens and Chiefs. 486 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: How would you compare those two Ravens and Steelers? Look 487 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: at the defenses, how would you compare those two teams? 488 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: I think overall, the Ravens are better than the Steelers. 489 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: I think the Steelers are stoppable offensively, and as long 490 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: as your offense can put together a driver two in 491 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 1: the second half, I think you would have seen our 492 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: defense maybe come up with a stop. I don't think 493 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: the Steelers are unstoppable. I don't think the Ravens are 494 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: completely unstoppable. We just got to a point the second 495 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: half we can stop the run on them. I do 496 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: think the Ravens are somewhat stoppable. But where those two 497 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: teams are specially defensively, and for me it's the Ravens secondary, 498 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: but that's front. The fact that the Steelers could sit 499 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: there and play nickel all game, play nickel all game long, 500 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: and take that little guy Mike Hilton who I talked 501 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: about before the game and basically playing the coverage some 502 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: playing up near the box is another linebacker some and 503 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: hold us to twenty nine yards rushing. That's how good 504 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: that front is. And the thing about it is Cameron 505 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: Hayward and Stefan to it. They're typically quote unquote three 506 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: or four defensive ends, but because they were playing nickel, 507 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: one of them had to play over the nose throughout 508 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: the game, which is not kind of either one's natural position. 509 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: And yet those two guys were dominant, and especially in 510 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: the second half, couldn't move either one of Hayward or 511 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: two it off the ball at all. And they're playing 512 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: a a position or not really accustomed to plane. That 513 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: Steeler's front is unbelievably good, unbelievably good, and bushing Williams 514 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: in the middle as linebackers are exceptional, they're exceptional. I 515 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: don't think the Ravens have that linebacker this year, and 516 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: I don't think they have the front like that. A 517 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: secondary is great, but these Steelers, that secondary kind of 518 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: fly around and let you know, take some chances because 519 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,239 Speaker 1: with Watton Dupre coming. Oh boy, now, I'll tell you this. 520 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: Larmy did a nice job on Dupre yesterday. He did 521 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: a really nice job on Dupree. He did, he did, 522 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: he did. But considering what Dupree has been doing, Dupre 523 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: had a second a half. How did you get up 524 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: with that? Two quarterbacks? I thought TJ was more of 525 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: an issue Duprie. That was when Watson crossed the line 526 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: of scrimmage and they still gave Free the sack. All right, job, 527 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: the plane's going to join us next not veryware.

I picked him oh and three. 633 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: I thought it was an easy call, and I picked 634 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: him to be two and three when the next two 635 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: and then Tennessee and Green Bay and those are key. 636 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: I had no idea the Packers were going to be 637 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: as dominant as they are. But I'm certainly not surprised 638 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: at oh three. Some things that have happened in these 639 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: games that have surprised me, like the the total tale 640 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: of two halves yesterday, to be so good in the 641 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: first half and so bad in the second, and you 642 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: know who could figure to run defense? Here comes Minnesota 643 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: after two hundred and twenty six yard performance and it's 644 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: one point loss to Tennessee, including one eighty one by 645 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and Gary Kubiex calling the plays, and you 646 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: know he'll want to run the ball. Yeah, there's no 647 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: questions going to run the ball. In general, when you 648 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: did your predictions and put them at oen three and 649 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: you thought about the where they would be at the 650 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: end of the year, what I think you said there? 651 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: You said ten and six at the end of the year. 652 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,719 Speaker 1: What does this team need to do to get to 653 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: that point of ten and six at the end of 654 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: the year. Look, I know in the building a I 655 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: think one at a time, but we on the radio 656 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: can think about a lot of things all at once, 657 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: in particular what this team can be. How do they 658 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: get to ten and six from oen three this year 659 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: with this team? Well, truthfully, John, I did pick him 660 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: ten and six, and I had them beating Minnesota, beating Jacksonville, 661 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: losing to Tennessee, beating green Bay, and then add to 662 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,959 Speaker 1: the bye week the schedule it just as not nearly 663 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: as tough as the first part of the schedule. I 664 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: heard bat Kerwin on NFL Radio, a long time NFL executive, 665 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: on Friday or Saturday, say that he thought the Texans 666 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: first three games was the toughest schedule he'd ever seen. 667 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: And when you think about it, Tennessee and green Bay 668 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: are both three and oh right now too, So I 669 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: believe these those teams we just mentioned are sixteen and 670 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: five right now. But you know, the Texans have got 671 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: to play better. They've got to play more consistently. I'm 672 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: not surprised they're oh and three, but I'm shocked they 673 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: can't run the ball better. Than eight to ninth and 674 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: rushing the last two years. And then I'm surprised that 675 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: the well, I was surprised the offensive line hadn't played 676 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: better run blogging in pass protection, I thought against the Steelers, 677 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: the first two sacks for Watson's fall for holding the 678 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: ball too long. He's got to sometimes just throw it away, 679 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: throw it in complete, throw it at somebody's feet, don't 680 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: take that big laws, especially on first down. And but 681 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: based on what we saw in the first half, if 682 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: they could do it at Pittsburgh against the Steelers defense 683 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: in the first half, they should be able to do 684 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: it for a game. John, what about the defense. Run 685 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: defense up the middle. Okay, yesterday they made some stops 686 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: for sure, but around the edges in the second half, 687 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was delivering some crushing blows as they ran off 688 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: tackle on either side. Your thoughts, well, J. J. Watts said, 689 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: he used, he said it was easy. You know. JJ 690 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: looked like he'd been hit by freight train after the game, 691 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: as all players should, and after what happened to him 692 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: against Baltimore, giving one hundred and fifty three and the 693 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Then James Connor came back in this one 694 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: and Connor Read I think sixty five yards in the 695 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: fourth quarter by himself, including two explosive plays of thirty 696 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: five and twenty five yards, and in both is when 697 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: he broke outside. Didn't just blow through a hole up 698 00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,320 Speaker 1: the middle. He bounced outside. And that's all about setting 699 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: the edge and being disciplined, and they didn't. You know, 700 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: in that first game against Kansas City, they missed a 701 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: lot of tackles, and they've done better about tackling. They're 702 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: just they're just not in position. They're getting out of position, 703 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: and they're getting steamrolled by the blockers. But that's the 704 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: kind of thing they'll work on in practice all week, 705 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: about making sure the guys on the outside play their 706 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: position and don't try to do something they're not supposed 707 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: to do. Sometimes, you know, when you get desperate, people 708 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 1: try to do too much. And when you try to 709 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: do too much and you get caught out of position 710 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: or somebody blocks you inside and you let somebody go outside, 711 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: you over extend, so to speak, and it backfires. General, 712 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: how much of the defensive issues that they're having do 713 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: you relate to the fact that the offense is going 714 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: three and out as many times as it did in 715 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: the second half such that there's a forty one to 716 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: seventeen play ratio forty one placement the Steelers in the 717 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: second half, seventeen for the Texans. How much of the 718 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: defensive issues do you put on the offense not being 719 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: able to maintain the ball in the second half To 720 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: give them a little bit of a recipe, Well, when 721 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 1: you have the ball for three minutes and ten seconds 722 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, you're generally not going to do something. 723 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at it for eleven fifty. The game was thirty 724 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: six to fifty one to twenty three oh nine. And 725 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: I think, man, if the Texans had had the ball more, 726 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: and they're telling them what t J. Watt and that 727 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: group would have done to Watson and them, but three 728 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: and outs first two series of the third quarter, three 729 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: and out. And then it's interesting because last week they 730 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: had two big mistakes fourth and one. They were stopped 731 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: touchdown Baltimore interception was an interception. Yeah, and when Wazon 732 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: got hit touchdown, this one interception touchdown, this will in 733 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: the shouldn't have thrown into double coverage. But you can 734 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 1: see Watson get frustrated. He wants to make plays that 735 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: it'd be a lot better if you weren't facing the 736 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: second along, and they got to be better on first down. 737 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: And I think running the running game, I'm not sure 738 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: because it's the same lineman, it's the same players doing 739 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:27,240 Speaker 1: the blocking at tidy and the offensive line. So either 740 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: and I don't think it's David Johnson, but so something's happened. 741 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: Either the defensive has discovered something and they're exploiting it 742 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: or people are not doing their job as well as 743 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: they did last season. But they've got to get the 744 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: running game going, and they better get it going past 745 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: john the Minnesota Tennessee game yesterday, you brought it up 746 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty six rushing yards for the Vikings 747 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 1: and they lost. I mean, I don't even know how 748 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: that happens, but it happens when you turn the ball 749 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: over Cousins with two picks, and there was a fumble 750 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: in the game and that spelled doomed for them. But 751 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,399 Speaker 1: this is a really tough attack to stop in that way. 752 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: This justin Jefferson had seven catches for one seventy five 753 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 1: and a score. The rookie looks really good. Your thoughts 754 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 1: on the Vikings coming in here and their mindset as well, 755 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: because oh and three and oh and three, and you 756 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,879 Speaker 1: know Floria already called it the Something's got to give 757 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: bull thanks a lot, but it's true, something's got to 758 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: give on Sunday because Anthony Weaver likes to say two 759 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: hungry dogs, that's what they are. Both were in the 760 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,280 Speaker 1: playoffs last year. A lot of people picked the Vikings 761 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: to dethrone the Packers because the Packers didn't get Aaron 762 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: Rodgers any receivers, so their offense was just gonna be mediocre. 763 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: And how's that worked out? And of course the Texans 764 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,720 Speaker 1: are always the threat to win there is He's South, 765 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: So what Alms got to win is good. They're back home. 766 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 1: I think it's good. They're gonna have some fans there. 767 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: I do think fans make a difference. And they're gonna 768 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: have to stop the run. It's amazing. As you mentioned, 769 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: mark two or twenty six yards. Alvin Cook had a 770 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: long touchdown run thirty nine yards. Justin Jefferson had a 771 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,760 Speaker 1: seventy one yard touchdown catch. And once again, this defense 772 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: is not giving up long pass plays. And I'm going 773 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: and the one that they for twenty six yards was 774 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: a mental mistake by somebody went brain dead on Juju Smith, 775 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,399 Speaker 1: sister of all players, And so I'm going to look 776 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: up today how many I bet you they've given more 777 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: explosive runs ten plus than explosive passes twenty plus in 778 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:38,720 Speaker 1: their first three games. And Kirk Cousins against Indianapolis was terrible. 779 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: His rating was fifteen and he had three interceptions and 780 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 1: no touchdown. So he is five interceptions in the last 781 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: two games. And the Texans now have gone three games 782 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: in a row without forcing a turnover for the first 783 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: time since two seventeen. Oh gosh, John dan Quinn in 784 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: the Atlanta felcause I got get off this for a second. 785 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: Dan Falcons blow another one as Nick Foles comes into 786 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,879 Speaker 1: the game and leads a fourth quarter to come back 787 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: with three fourth quarter touchdowns and win. How much longer 788 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: does dan Quinn haven at lanted? Do you think they 789 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: got off to this low start last year? Everybody wanted 790 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: dan Quinn fired and then they finished past because he's 791 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: a really popular guy. The players, the owner of the fans, 792 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: the media, everybody likes dan Quinn and didn't want him 793 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: to be fired, so they kept it. But before you 794 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: fire a guy during the season, you better have somebody 795 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 1: on the staff who's capable of taking over for him. 796 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: And I don't know who's on that staff, but you 797 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: can't just do it if you don't have somebody. I'm 798 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: not a fan of firings during the season anyway, and 799 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: because generally it might be a little immediate approvement, but 800 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 1: over the long haul, no, and uh, it's just it 801 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: just doesn't work out. And plus if they keep losing, 802 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: and I thought they would be in the playoff race, 803 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: and they certainly have the offense to do it, but 804 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,359 Speaker 1: I would guess right now his seat is hotter than 805 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: anybody's other than Adam Gays John who wins today. Chiefs 806 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: of Ravens. I'm going with the Ravens because they're at home. 807 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: And people say, well, you don't have a home advantage 808 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 1: without sellouts, but you guys know, there's a home advantage 809 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: when you don't travel and you get to stay at 810 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: home and be with your family. And I just think, 811 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: even though you're together tonight before the game, it's just 812 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 1: easier to play at home. So I'm going with the 813 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: Ravens over the Chiefs, and that's a two game swing 814 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 1: in case they are tied for home field. Advantage. So 815 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: even though it's early, it's big for both teams. Yeah, 816 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: I think they win no matter where they play. Thank 817 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,840 Speaker 1: you general, really appreciate the time as always. Thank you guys. 818 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: Have a great week all right, next up early second half. 819 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: Very similar in the last two games. We'll tell you 820 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: how and what it all means moving forward and a 821 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 1: little bit around the lead here what we can learn 822 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: from what is going on around the NFL.

Houston off the field three and out by 921 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: this d all right, Johnny, let me ask you about 922 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 1: this right here. And I don't think you've had a 923 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 1: chance to break down everything just yet. But in the 924 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 1: first half, yeah, they got to him a couple of times, 925 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 1: and they were able to get some penetration into the 926 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 1: backfield and hold them down. What happened in the second half, 927 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 1: What was the difference? What were the adjustments the Steelers made? Look, 928 00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 1: I know that the game got different, but it was 929 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 1: still a one score game. I mean, it was a 930 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 1: one score game. And I was thinking going into the 931 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,440 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they had the lead, by the way, folks, 932 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter at one point lead, but 933 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,880 Speaker 1: it was a lead. Yeah, yeah, the Texans did. And 934 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 1: so this was not like, oh, they're up two scores 935 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,839 Speaker 1: and running the ball and milking everything. But they were 936 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 1: running the ball, so is that it? They were just 937 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,320 Speaker 1: having so much success on the ground that it didn't 938 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,879 Speaker 1: matter as much the lack of a pass rush. As 939 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 1: I say this to you, I will point out that 940 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 1: in the second half. Let's see how many times did 941 00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:33,840 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger throw it in the second half. We threw it 942 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 1: eighteen times in the first half. Let's do the basic 943 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,320 Speaker 1: math here. I don't have the second half. In the 944 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 1: first half and eighteen times in the second half, is 945 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,239 Speaker 1: that right? Jeez, you could have like knocked me over 946 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: with a feather right there. I thought it was even 947 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,279 Speaker 1: gonna be less considering the success they were having on 948 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: the ground, But they ran it. I mean they ran 949 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,360 Speaker 1: forty one plays in the second half. So yeah, I 950 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 1: guess you know they're gonna mix it up a little bit. Well, 951 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,879 Speaker 1: part of it was in the second half. Probably three 952 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,320 Speaker 1: or four of those throws were just catch it, throw it. 953 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: You know, he threw those little quick, you know, a 954 00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 1: little quick darters that will be third and two and 955 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,320 Speaker 1: they'd run a pick play and you know, the receiver 956 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,359 Speaker 1: would get you know, just opened by a half yard 957 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 1: and Ben would just stick it in there. It's basically 958 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: like an extended run play. So I know there were 959 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 1: probably a good three or four of those in the 960 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,279 Speaker 1: second half. But again, when a team is running the 961 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: ball the way the Steelers were, your pass rushes slowed 962 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: down because you gotta think, man, i gotta stop the 963 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 1: run first. Oh now it's a pass. Now I gotta 964 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 1: gear up, as opposed to we know they're throwing it, 965 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 1: so let's pin our ears back and let's go so it. 966 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 1: So I don't want to say it becomes sort of 967 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: a guessing game, but when a team is running the 968 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,239 Speaker 1: ball on you, and that was the thing to me 969 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 1: going back. And I haven't seen the whole second half, 970 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 1: but on the bus home, I watched the Cannets copy 971 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 1: and I'm watching in the second half, I'm watching our 972 00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 1: edge guys getting turned inside and in getting turned inside, 973 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,799 Speaker 1: what that's doing is it's making the secondary contain come up. 974 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 1: And they got a poller coming out. So they've got 975 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,240 Speaker 1: Matt Feiler pulling out a guard and we've got secondary 976 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,919 Speaker 1: contained coming up, which is a safety. And I will 977 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 1: give Justin Reid and Lonnie Johnson a ton of credit. 978 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 1: Mark I saw them a couple of times completely and 979 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,280 Speaker 1: totally throw their boy. We used to call munching ankles 980 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,920 Speaker 1: because when you were a defensive back and you were 981 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: the loan basically you were the loan contain guy and 982 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 1: a big lineman is coming out, all you've got is 983 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 1: just to create a pile. That's it. It's all you 984 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 1: can hope for three hundred pounds coming at you. You're 985 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,400 Speaker 1: one ninety. You just go down as best you can 986 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,440 Speaker 1: and try and create a pile and hopefully the running 987 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 1: back now has to hesitate and bounce around you or 988 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: cuts it back inside where you've got people. That's all 989 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,400 Speaker 1: you can do. In a couple of times when the 990 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 1: Texas did stop the runners because of those guys coming up, 991 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,359 Speaker 1: but we didn't set a good edge at all. Our 992 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,920 Speaker 1: guys on the outside were getting turned inside. And that 993 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 1: gave Filer in particular, it felt like a lot of 994 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 1: times it was Filer who was pulling around it gave 995 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 1: him a good ang on a block and then getting 996 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 1: him a good ang on the block. They just had 997 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 1: things matched up they wanted to and they would get 998 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 1: four yards, five yards, six yards at second and fourth. Well, 999 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 1: you can deal with third and twos and even fourth 1000 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:20,919 Speaker 1: and ones. And I thought that was a big playing 1001 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 1: a game. We'll get that later on. But we just 1002 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,360 Speaker 1: weren't setting a really good edge, and we weren't getting 1003 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 1: off blocks or destroying blocks. That I will say, if 1004 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,400 Speaker 1: there's one thing that the Ravens and the Steelers do 1005 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 1: exceptionally well up front to it Hayward, Brandon Williams, Klais Campbell, 1006 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 1: Derek Wolf, those guys destroy blocks. It's not enough to 1007 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 1: just I'm gonna get by this guy. They destroy these 1008 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,840 Speaker 1: They destroy blockers. And the Steelers got some movement with 1009 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 1: some double teams, and then they would they would cut 1010 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 1: down that edge and their running backs had some good 1011 00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 1: room to work. I thought. One of the smartest things 1012 00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 1: to steal did that really kind of got it going 1013 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: was they put Anthony McFarland in the backfield, and by 1014 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,879 Speaker 1: putting McFarland in the backfield. That put everybody on notice 1015 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,959 Speaker 1: because McFarlane's a four four guy, if not a first 1016 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 1: three guy, he can fly. And I think McFarland would 1017 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,920 Speaker 1: have gone to the combine and gotten a lot more 1018 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 1: acclaim when he ran to forty because this forty time 1019 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,319 Speaker 1: would have been really, really good. But he came out 1020 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,800 Speaker 1: of Maryland and when we went to play the Redskins, 1021 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 1: And when did we play the Redskins? Eighteen? Yeah, it 1022 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,879 Speaker 1: was eighteen because Dwayne Haskins was the quarterback at Ohio State. 1023 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 1: We were on the bus ride to the hotel from 1024 00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,920 Speaker 1: the airport in DC and I was watching the Maryland 1025 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,839 Speaker 1: House State gam and in that game, McFarland had two 1026 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,520 Speaker 1: ninety nine rushing and I'm like, write his name down. 1027 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: This dude's gonna be a baller. Well, it never clicked 1028 00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 1: at Maryland after that. They just never really got to 1029 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 1: a point where they could be a good football team. 1030 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: McFarland stats kind of went down after that, But I thought, man, 1031 00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 1: nobody really runs with two ninety nine our House State 1032 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,879 Speaker 1: without being a pretty good athlete. And that speed really 1033 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,040 Speaker 1: became a factor because now he can get to the 1034 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,480 Speaker 1: edge a little bit better and that's what they did. 1035 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 1: They started getting to the edge, and they worst down 1036 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,399 Speaker 1: a little bit, and now it's Connor who can get 1037 00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,719 Speaker 1: to the edge, and now it's Snell pounding away. But 1038 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:15,280 Speaker 1: all their third and fourth downs, Mark, were very makeable 1039 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 1: for the most part, their third and one, third and two, 1040 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,800 Speaker 1: no more than fourth and one, fourth and one and 1041 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 1: a half. Maybe they just didn't have that far to go, 1042 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,320 Speaker 1: and so everything in your playbook is still available to 1043 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,640 Speaker 1: you at that point. But we did not set a 1044 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: good edge against the run. In the fourth quarter, when 1045 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,759 Speaker 1: we just were completely seemingly out of gas, that's when 1046 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,400 Speaker 1: they just took some inside, took some outside, and we 1047 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,000 Speaker 1: just weren't able to physically hold up against it because 1048 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,560 Speaker 1: we had faced forty one blaze at that point to 1049 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,320 Speaker 1: the offense is seventeen. So that to me was the 1050 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,040 Speaker 1: biggest thing. I'll go back and watch it a little 1051 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,279 Speaker 1: bit more, but to me, the edge setting, which is 1052 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 1: something that I know since I've been on the sideline. 1053 00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:00,440 Speaker 1: If there's one thing that these guys have mastered, the 1054 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,839 Speaker 1: guys that played in the outside mastered, was going its 1055 00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,879 Speaker 1: tight ends and tackles and setting you really good edge. 1056 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,840 Speaker 1: And you could tell Mark the times that the Steelers 1057 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,240 Speaker 1: had a one or two yard gain, it was because 1058 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,759 Speaker 1: Whitney said a good edge. I remember one play that 1059 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,280 Speaker 1: I saw whitty said a great edge and the backhead 1060 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 1: of turning back inside one yard gain if that, and 1061 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,360 Speaker 1: it's like, that's the way run defense has to be. 1062 00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 1: But there were times where we would lose that we'd 1063 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,239 Speaker 1: peek inside to see where it was and that ball 1064 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,560 Speaker 1: come right around, you get turned inside and a way 1065 00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,400 Speaker 1: you go. So yeah, there were more than a few 1066 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 1: things that were going on with it. Well. Getting ready 1067 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,400 Speaker 1: for a stretched place city This week is the Vikings 1068 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 1: come calling with that Kubiak offense.

What a play to Randall 1181 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:35,760 Speaker 1: Cob who's having a big game. Randall Cob did have 1182 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,440 Speaker 1: a big game of the Texans. He and Cooks look good. 1183 01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 1: First half was good through the air for the Houston Texans. 1184 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:45,120 Speaker 1: Cob and Fuller with touchdown catches Texans with the lead 1185 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 1: at the break. But we all know what happened. They 1186 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 1: end up falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers and falling to 1187 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 1: Owen three. And Andre Ware joins us. Now, Mark Vandermaer 1188 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,840 Speaker 1: and John Harris with you. It is what it is today. 1189 01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,400 Speaker 1: I mean they are owing three and I know the 1190 01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,680 Speaker 1: schedule's tough, but if they played well against a poor 1191 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,440 Speaker 1: sc edul, we'd be saying it is what it is, 1192 01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 1: and we'd be praising the good play. Well, let's get 1193 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 1: into this right now, because I wanted to ask you, 1194 01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,440 Speaker 1: when you look at the offense and the defense, you know, 1195 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:12,720 Speaker 1: it's it's a team game. It's both sides. You're having 1196 01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,040 Speaker 1: trouble stopping the run, but they're also having trouble staying 1197 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 1: on the field of offense, which would obviously help the 1198 01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:21,160 Speaker 1: defense out. Your thoughts on the balance or the imbalance 1199 01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 1: in the nature of things right now for the Houston Texans, Yeah, 1200 01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,240 Speaker 1: I think it's something Mark that we talked about right 1201 01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,919 Speaker 1: at the top of the broadcast yesterday, and we've made 1202 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 1: mention of it from a standpoint of teams that had 1203 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:39,280 Speaker 1: continuity coming back, teams that had chemistry coming back, we're 1204 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 1: going to be the teams that got out of the 1205 01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:46,200 Speaker 1: gate the fastest, and teams that changed a lot, we're 1206 01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,640 Speaker 1: going to, you know, maybe struggle a little bit. So 1207 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 1: you got some new parts and new pieces on the 1208 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, the specifically in the secondary, 1209 01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,520 Speaker 1: and then on the offensive side, you've got a couple 1210 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,200 Speaker 1: of new receivers that you're trying to break in and 1211 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 1: a guy Will Fuller trying to step into that number 1212 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:09,280 Speaker 1: one receiver role. Well, he played well obviously yesterday, and 1213 01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,400 Speaker 1: so did Randall Cobb, who was good to see him 1214 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,960 Speaker 1: step up. But I think early in the season you're 1215 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,080 Speaker 1: gonna get flashes of that, and then you're gonna get 1216 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 1: some setbacks or a step back or two against different 1217 01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:24,640 Speaker 1: types of schemes defensively, So it's kind of to be expected. 1218 01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:30,040 Speaker 1: Is expected when you meet a schedule like they faced 1219 01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,320 Speaker 1: the first three weeks of the season in Kansas City, 1220 01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:36,120 Speaker 1: who hadn't made any wholescale changes. Baltimore haven't made any 1221 01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 1: wholesale changes in neither Airs Pittsburgh dre more frustrating lack 1222 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,000 Speaker 1: of run game, lack of being able to stop an 1223 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 1: opposing run game. I think it's the lack of being 1224 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:53,800 Speaker 1: able to stop and opposing running game, because that's just 1225 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:58,440 Speaker 1: a demoralizing way to kind of get beat up. It's 1226 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,400 Speaker 1: like you're in the corner in a boxing match and 1227 01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: the guys just you know, hitting you to the body, 1228 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 1: to the head, and because everything comes off the running 1229 01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,360 Speaker 1: game and you can't move, you're just pinning in the 1230 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,440 Speaker 1: corner taking it, and that's what it seems like at 1231 01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,760 Speaker 1: times throughout the season. Baltimore did it in the second 1232 01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,480 Speaker 1: half two weeks ago or a week ago, and then 1233 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:21,560 Speaker 1: obviously in the second half yesterday, the Steelers were able 1234 01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 1: to do it. And I'll tell you what even more frustrating, Johnny, 1235 01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,920 Speaker 1: is that you can't stop it on the outside edges 1236 01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,360 Speaker 1: of the tackles and not between the tackles. They were 1237 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,840 Speaker 1: pretty much fine between the tackles or adequate. It's when 1238 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,840 Speaker 1: James Connor is able to get the end of the 1239 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,520 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and turn his shoulders north and south. 1240 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:45,439 Speaker 1: That's frustrated, absolutely and very We're joining us on Texas Monday. 1241 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,360 Speaker 1: All right, let's look at the passing attack, Trey. What'd 1242 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:53,120 Speaker 1: you see yesterday? The good and the needs improvement areas now? 1243 01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,520 Speaker 1: I thought, I thought Desharne did a nice job of 1244 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:59,320 Speaker 1: spreading the football around. I think eight eight different receivers 1245 01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,840 Speaker 1: may have called up ask and yesterday's game, it was 1246 01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,720 Speaker 1: nice to see Randall Cops step up and make some plays. 1247 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,440 Speaker 1: Will Fuller made plays. Kenny Stills, he made plays. And 1248 01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:14,760 Speaker 1: it wasn't just the tight ends making plays in the 1249 01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,120 Speaker 1: passing game yesterday. I think Jordan Nakins is going to 1250 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,720 Speaker 1: be uh. He's got the potential to be a really, 1251 01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:23,960 Speaker 1: really good player and he's well on his way, but 1252 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,360 Speaker 1: there needs to be that kind of consistency across the 1253 01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,800 Speaker 1: board all the time. Every once in a while, there's 1254 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,400 Speaker 1: a drop here and there that should be caught. And 1255 01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, protection wise as well, when you're talking to 1256 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,439 Speaker 1: passing game, you're talking guys up front a little too 1257 01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,760 Speaker 1: soft on the right side for my liking, especially when 1258 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,400 Speaker 1: t J Watt was in the game and we know 1259 01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,880 Speaker 1: what caliber player is how to get some help over there, 1260 01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,400 Speaker 1: and at one time they did have fails over there. 1261 01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,680 Speaker 1: He actually blocked him where TJ came free on Deshaun 1262 01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 1: and was able to sack him. But that's got to 1263 01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 1: get shirt up where you're not thinking about that from 1264 01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,040 Speaker 1: the week and Dre. I think one of the things 1265 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 1: that a lot of people, you know, just listen to 1266 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,600 Speaker 1: Sean and Set this morning as they were talking about it, 1267 01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,000 Speaker 1: that I know a lot of people kind of circled 1268 01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:13,200 Speaker 1: and said, hey, let's do this a little bit more. 1269 01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:17,480 Speaker 1: When the Steelers took the lead, it's seven seventeen fourteen 1270 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:19,600 Speaker 1: or fourteen thirteen, they took the lead. I can't remember 1271 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,360 Speaker 1: what it was, but they take the lead, and then 1272 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:27,920 Speaker 1: with one minute and fourteen seconds left, five plays seventy 1273 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:33,120 Speaker 1: five yards and made it look really, really, really easy 1274 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,680 Speaker 1: on that particular drive. And I know sometimes two minute 1275 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 1: defenses can kind of get back on their heels a 1276 01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,880 Speaker 1: little bit. But on that drive, what did you see 1277 01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:45,480 Speaker 1: that made that drive work and be so effective to 1278 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 1: go down to field that fast to get the touchdown 1279 01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:49,760 Speaker 1: before the half in less than a minute. And I 1280 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:51,840 Speaker 1: think maybe using I think they use all three of 1281 01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:55,000 Speaker 1: their timeouts masterfully. But what did you see on that 1282 01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,880 Speaker 1: five place, seventy five yard drive right before they half 1283 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:02,040 Speaker 1: to get the Texans back to lead. Yeah, and it 1284 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 1: was arguably the best drive of the game. Actually, it 1285 01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,560 Speaker 1: was the last drive of the game that they were 1286 01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,560 Speaker 1: able to get points on. There was a sense of 1287 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:11,960 Speaker 1: urgency there. Hey, let's go down and take care of business, 1288 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:13,960 Speaker 1: get back in this ballgame, or go back, let's go 1289 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:18,519 Speaker 1: get the lead back. And I honestly think Deshaun works 1290 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,960 Speaker 1: better when he is in kind of that type of 1291 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 1: mode rather than slowing down calling out the mic. Sometimes 1292 01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,840 Speaker 1: you have to dictate what's going to happen in a 1293 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,760 Speaker 1: game and you take it to your opponent and they've 1294 01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 1: got enough on offense to be able to do that. 1295 01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,879 Speaker 1: You've got a guy now in his fourth year at quarterback, 1296 01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,679 Speaker 1: he knows the system. You gotta trust him a little 1297 01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:41,560 Speaker 1: bit more. Let him go do his thing. And so 1298 01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:47,160 Speaker 1: I know offenses that struggle turned to that at times 1299 01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:50,519 Speaker 1: in the first half. They turned to it. Obviously in 1300 01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:52,680 Speaker 1: that situation they go right down the field. That's what 1301 01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:54,600 Speaker 1: you want to have. You don't want to have to 1302 01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 1: go twelve thirteen fifteen plays on a drive to score 1303 01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,840 Speaker 1: every time because it just brings in likelihood that a 1304 01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:04,479 Speaker 1: mistake is going to be made along the way. If 1305 01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:07,519 Speaker 1: you trust him like that in a two minute durial 1306 01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,360 Speaker 1: situation and he goes down and produces, you got to 1307 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,400 Speaker 1: go back and really analyze that and say, hey, we 1308 01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,320 Speaker 1: need to mix this in a little bit more than 1309 01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:16,720 Speaker 1: we're doing and let these guys play with a little 1310 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:20,439 Speaker 1: more freedom. Frey, what do you think of Gary Kubiak, 1311 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,479 Speaker 1: Dom Capers, and Bill O'Brien beaning in the building together 1312 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,240 Speaker 1: on Sunday, which I was hoping would be a much 1313 01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:29,439 Speaker 1: happier occasion, But considering everybody is owing three going in. 1314 01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,519 Speaker 1: I think the pregame photo op is not going to 1315 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:35,000 Speaker 1: be as good as I thought, and with masks and everything, 1316 01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,720 Speaker 1: and I can't be a part of it, by the way. Whoops. Yeah, 1317 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,439 Speaker 1: that would be a nice thing to do. I would 1318 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 1: actually try to get get in on a picture like that. 1319 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:46,599 Speaker 1: The three coaches that a coach to franchise history all 1320 01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:48,439 Speaker 1: in the building at the same time. It was kind 1321 01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:50,880 Speaker 1: of when you mentioned it yesterday, I was just like, WHOA, 1322 01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,280 Speaker 1: that's kind of that's kind of crazy. I don't know 1323 01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:56,800 Speaker 1: that that may happen anywhere else at any particular time, 1324 01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,880 Speaker 1: but to see the three of them, the other two 1325 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 1: have been just fantastic. Bill has been night been as 1326 01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,240 Speaker 1: as well. And to have him there to get a 1327 01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,519 Speaker 1: photo out that would be that would be crazy. But 1328 01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,559 Speaker 1: I would That's one I would sign up for. Trey 1329 01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,439 Speaker 1: Minnesota comes in oh and three Texans, oh and three. 1330 01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:17,920 Speaker 1: They were playing at home. They'll have some fans in 1331 01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:22,120 Speaker 1: the building. The Vikings have Dalvin Cook to have justin Jefferson, 1332 01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:26,559 Speaker 1: who arrived seemingly yesterday. Kirk Cousins has been a guy 1333 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,920 Speaker 1: that has taken his share of heat. When you have 1334 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,040 Speaker 1: two oh and three teams coming in like this together, 1335 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:37,200 Speaker 1: I would think your mindset, confidence probably both shaken. I 1336 01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 1: would think for both teams, what do you think is 1337 01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:41,439 Speaker 1: important for the Texans to be able to do in 1338 01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:43,880 Speaker 1: this one to make sure they walk out of there 1339 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:46,400 Speaker 1: one in three and not o and four. Well, it 1340 01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 1: goes right back to the first question you ask, man, 1341 01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,560 Speaker 1: that's that's stopping the run. I mean, you get a 1342 01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:55,200 Speaker 1: guy like Dalvin Cook going the way he was he 1343 01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,920 Speaker 1: was going yesterday with one hundred eighty one yards, I mean, 1344 01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:02,680 Speaker 1: that's almost insulting to Tennessee's defense. But they found a 1345 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,200 Speaker 1: way to get it done. And so if you say, hey, 1346 01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna go for one and fifty go we're gonna 1347 01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,760 Speaker 1: win the game, you start certainly sign up for that. 1348 01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:15,639 Speaker 1: But that's where it is. And then pressure on Kirk Cousins. 1349 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:17,720 Speaker 1: If you allow him to sit in the pocket, that's 1350 01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:21,040 Speaker 1: when his confidence will grow and he turns into you know, 1351 01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 1: super Kirk. But if you continue to pressure and he'll 1352 01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,160 Speaker 1: look at times like he did yesterday where he finished 1353 01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,720 Speaker 1: the game with a forty four point one quarterback rating 1354 01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:33,120 Speaker 1: or so h QB rating. So it's it's it's one 1355 01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,400 Speaker 1: of those things that you've got to get some pressure. 1356 01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:37,840 Speaker 1: How they get it, I'm not sure if it has 1357 01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,360 Speaker 1: to come from the secondary players, you know, blitz and 1358 01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,599 Speaker 1: safeties or corner blitzes. However you get there. You need 1359 01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,000 Speaker 1: to disrupt him because he's a guy that can get hot. 1360 01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:50,519 Speaker 1: He's got receivers. He's got you know, basically his Big 1361 01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:54,519 Speaker 1: three and Cook and Justin Jefferson and Kyle Rudolph. So 1362 01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:58,080 Speaker 1: that's that's another tight end coming in that is a 1363 01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,320 Speaker 1: receiving threat that could really really put some pressure on 1364 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,720 Speaker 1: your defense. Week four of the season is way too 1365 01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 1: early for me to start feeling nauseous. This usually doesn't 1366 01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:11,600 Speaker 1: happen until later on in the campaign. Okay, Dre, I 1367 01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:15,360 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you this one. More impressive what Brady 1368 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,840 Speaker 1: is doing in Tampa or what Cam is doing in 1369 01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:20,800 Speaker 1: New England. And let me set it up this way. 1370 01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier the Texans lack of ability to run 1371 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:35,320 Speaker 1: the ball. They have a hundred. The next team is Tampa. 1372 01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:37,519 Speaker 1: They're not running the ball much either, two hundred and 1373 01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:40,840 Speaker 1: seventy six total yards on the ground through three games, 1374 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:43,519 Speaker 1: So that means Brady's doing a lot well, So more 1375 01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 1: impressive Brady and Tampa are through three games. I think 1376 01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:55,160 Speaker 1: Brady and Tampa because it's it's new. Everything's new for him. 1377 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you're playing with a new cast around you. 1378 01:12:58,040 --> 01:12:59,680 Speaker 1: When you played with a group of guys for a 1379 01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:02,639 Speaker 1: long time, you know who's going to protect you where 1380 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,800 Speaker 1: you need to protect yourself at times and so on. 1381 01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 1: But the way he's doing it, and he's got a 1382 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,400 Speaker 1: ton of receivers that are a ton of skill position 1383 01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,719 Speaker 1: players that even go to at any time, Mike Evans 1384 01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,320 Speaker 1: is going to break out. Um, they're going to get 1385 01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:20,680 Speaker 1: the running game going at some point with Fournette and 1386 01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:25,160 Speaker 1: Ronald Jones and you know that that cast accrew. But yesterday, 1387 01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:28,320 Speaker 1: even in a you know, a game against the Broncos, 1388 01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,440 Speaker 1: he goes for just under three hundred yards at three touchdowns. 1389 01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,519 Speaker 1: So just when you think he's finished, he's starting to produce. 1390 01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:39,200 Speaker 1: I think the more weeks that he's there, he's going 1391 01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:42,200 Speaker 1: to get better because he'll he'll get more cemented into 1392 01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,960 Speaker 1: the what they're doing offensively and more comfortable and uh. 1393 01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:49,120 Speaker 1: And it's just one of those things. New team, new quarterbacks, 1394 01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:53,559 Speaker 1: obviously new situation for Brady. Um. It's taken some time, 1395 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:56,640 Speaker 1: but yesterday it looked. It looked pretty good. It's ray 1396 01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:00,719 Speaker 1: last night. Aaron Rodgers and Packers go to New Orleans. 1397 01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:05,760 Speaker 1: No Davante Adams, and Aaron Rodgers says, it don't care. 1398 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:09,360 Speaker 1: He lights up the Saints. The Packers get it done 1399 01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:13,920 Speaker 1: yet again, Mad Lafloor. This offense, that mad la floor 1400 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:17,000 Speaker 1: is running with Rogers at the Helm. There are a 1401 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,640 Speaker 1: lot of people that talked about and said, look, if 1402 01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:20,280 Speaker 1: they can ever get on the same page, it could 1403 01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:23,000 Speaker 1: be scary. They seem to be on the same page. 1404 01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:26,479 Speaker 1: And that offense is just all firing in all cylinders. 1405 01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:27,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how much of it you had a 1406 01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:30,639 Speaker 1: chance to watch, but the Packers this year are doing 1407 01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,879 Speaker 1: it without Davonte Adams. A lot of times it's al lazard. 1408 01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:36,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is stepping up. What are you seeing those 1409 01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:40,160 Speaker 1: far with the Packers that make them this dominant offensively? Well, 1410 01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:43,639 Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers's number twelve, I mean, and now he's 1411 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:46,840 Speaker 1: in the second year of this offense where they think 1412 01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,519 Speaker 1: we went well thirteen and three last year yep, and 1413 01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:51,360 Speaker 1: shrub like, oh, we don't need to take a receiver, 1414 01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:53,560 Speaker 1: he doesn't need any help. We'll do it, you know. 1415 01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:56,120 Speaker 1: Kind of build for the future in this year's draft. 1416 01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:59,599 Speaker 1: But he's still around, he's still dealing at the top 1417 01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,240 Speaker 1: of the game. He has just flat out fun to 1418 01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:07,320 Speaker 1: watch because he's throwing off awful different levels, body positions, 1419 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:11,800 Speaker 1: the armed strength has hasn't started to dwindle. It's fun. 1420 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:14,240 Speaker 1: I think I watched every single down of that game. 1421 01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:17,679 Speaker 1: I can't tell you the last time I watched every 1422 01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,040 Speaker 1: down of a Sunday night game. It's just, you know, 1423 01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:22,840 Speaker 1: by that time, I'm a little drained. I may take 1424 01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:25,320 Speaker 1: a peek here and there, but when he's on the field, 1425 01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:27,320 Speaker 1: I just can't help myself or watch it because he 1426 01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:29,840 Speaker 1: makes it look so easy, and I know it's not 1427 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,439 Speaker 1: that easy, but he's the guy that makes it work. 1428 01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:34,800 Speaker 1: I thought he did a hell of a job of 1429 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 1: spreading the ball around against the aggressive Saints defense, and 1430 01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,559 Speaker 1: I think the Saints are in trouble. Let's say you're 1431 01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:44,880 Speaker 1: able to get Michael Thomas back. You guys heard me 1432 01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,519 Speaker 1: talk about is how important one player can be to 1433 01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,679 Speaker 1: a unit. Well, he is that for the New Orleans Saints. 1434 01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,200 Speaker 1: Even though they made some plays and at times that 1435 01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,920 Speaker 1: you felt like, well, they're in this game. Aaron Rodgers 1436 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,240 Speaker 1: just kind of playing and having fun with it at 1437 01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,040 Speaker 1: time you see him smiling on the field. But Michael 1438 01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:06,479 Speaker 1: Thomas is to the New Orleans offense who is in 1439 01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,920 Speaker 1: the manner of what t J. Watt is to the 1440 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,800 Speaker 1: Steelers defense, because when he wasn't off the field. When 1441 01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,200 Speaker 1: he was off the field, the Texans were able to 1442 01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,519 Speaker 1: do exactly what they wanted to do. The minute he 1443 01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:20,679 Speaker 1: came back in the game, everything changed, It seemed to change, 1444 01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:23,920 Speaker 1: and he created problems and even a free and other 1445 01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:26,320 Speaker 1: guys up when they started to double team him. It's 1446 01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,559 Speaker 1: just he's that. He means that much to Pittsburgh's defense, 1447 01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:31,880 Speaker 1: and I think Michael Thomas means that to the Saints, 1448 01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,160 Speaker 1: and if he's not back anytime soon, they may be 1449 01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:39,720 Speaker 1: in a bunch of trouble. Dre Ravens and Chiefs. Who 1450 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:45,160 Speaker 1: do you got? Who? We the games where Kansas City 1451 01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:50,800 Speaker 1: Baltimore Baltimore the home team going home team, because I 1452 01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:53,479 Speaker 1: think I think Baltimore will just be the bully in 1453 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:57,240 Speaker 1: that one. I kind of liken it to the approach 1454 01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:00,639 Speaker 1: that Indianapolis took a few weeks before where the Texans 1455 01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,840 Speaker 1: played the Chiefs last year, where they were just they 1456 01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:07,000 Speaker 1: just ran the football, and Baltimore is capable of just 1457 01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:11,320 Speaker 1: being the bully running the football with success. They've got 1458 01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:15,080 Speaker 1: three backs that are just outstanding and a really solid 1459 01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:20,160 Speaker 1: offensive line, and they're not gonna allow our ask Lamar 1460 01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:22,479 Speaker 1: Jackson to do a whole lot in terms of beating him. 1461 01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:25,559 Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if the Ravens win this game 1462 01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:29,280 Speaker 1: and Lamar doesn't grow for two hundred yards and maybe 1463 01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown here or there, but they find the way 1464 01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:34,320 Speaker 1: to win because I think the Ravens defense certainly is 1465 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:36,960 Speaker 1: better than the Chiefs defense, and the Chiefs can't stop 1466 01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,280 Speaker 1: the run at times, and Baltimore can certainly run it. 1467 01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,720 Speaker 1: So I'll go to the Ravens tonight. I'm gonna have 1468 01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:44,439 Speaker 1: this one for both y'all because at some point yesterday 1469 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,200 Speaker 1: and I want to go back to Rogers for a second, 1470 01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:49,880 Speaker 1: because at some point yesterday one or both of you 1471 01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 1: mentioned Ben Roethlisberger being in the class of oh four. Now, 1472 01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:58,200 Speaker 1: now Ben, Ben isn't the same guy he was, you 1473 01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:00,600 Speaker 1: know a few years ago. Philip Rivers is definitely not 1474 01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:02,559 Speaker 1: the same guy he was. He's got a little bit 1475 01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:04,880 Speaker 1: left in He threw his four hundred touchdown career touchdown 1476 01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:08,639 Speaker 1: yesterday and Eli Mannings already retired. They were the class 1477 01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,719 Speaker 1: of two thousand and four. Aaron Rodgers was the Class 1478 01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,639 Speaker 1: of two thousand and five the very next year. There's 1479 01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,920 Speaker 1: no way you could look at Rogers and think this guy, 1480 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,360 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger and that guy Philip Rivers were drafted just 1481 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:25,960 Speaker 1: one year ahead of Aaron Rodgers, who looks potentially like 1482 01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,080 Speaker 1: one of the top three quarterbacks in the league. It's 1483 01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:33,479 Speaker 1: become mind blowing to think that Rogers is one year 1484 01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:36,320 Speaker 1: different from the guy we saw yesterday, and Ben Roethlisberger 1485 01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:37,559 Speaker 1: a guy that we're going to sit down the road 1486 01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:41,400 Speaker 1: of Philip Rivers. Yeah, that was Mark by the way 1487 01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:46,519 Speaker 1: that made that made that comment. But I look at 1488 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:50,599 Speaker 1: it like this, Johnny Rogers had the benefit of sitting 1489 01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:55,120 Speaker 1: for how many years, three years behind Bread So so yeah, 1490 01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:57,920 Speaker 1: the wear and tears out there, you know, the being 1491 01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:02,000 Speaker 1: hits not there, the all the nest, all the stuff 1492 01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:06,040 Speaker 1: that goes into playing three more years. So Roethlisberger steps 1493 01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:09,160 Speaker 1: in pretty much in the first game of the season 1494 01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:12,120 Speaker 1: as a rookie and he went what he went thirteen 1495 01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:15,920 Speaker 1: straight I think it was before a loss. And then 1496 01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:19,639 Speaker 1: you know, Philip Rivers steps right in, Eli Manning steps 1497 01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:23,640 Speaker 1: right in, and so you know, with Ben, though I 1498 01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:26,960 Speaker 1: will say this in his defense, since the elbow surgery, 1499 01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:29,560 Speaker 1: he seems to have more juice on his ball and 1500 01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:33,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't really know how to deal with again because 1501 01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:36,720 Speaker 1: every deep shout that he had was an overthrow that 1502 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,880 Speaker 1: easily could have been touchdowns. He had a couple of 1503 01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:43,720 Speaker 1: those in yesterday's games. So I think the surgery, as 1504 01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,000 Speaker 1: to a pitcher that gets Tommy John, they come back 1505 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,559 Speaker 1: throwing harder and faster. It might have put a few 1506 01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:53,519 Speaker 1: more years on the arm of Ben Roethlisberger. Do you 1507 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,559 Speaker 1: think of the Robie Pi He read the receiver more 1508 01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 1: than the ball, and he probably should have read the 1509 01:19:58,160 --> 01:19:59,760 Speaker 1: ball because he might have been able to go pick that. 1510 01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:01,680 Speaker 1: Not that you would have wanted to because it was 1511 01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:03,240 Speaker 1: fourth down, but you know what I'm saying. It was 1512 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:06,479 Speaker 1: kind of a weird deal, that passive appearance on Robie. Yeah, 1513 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:08,360 Speaker 1: I just don't think the eyes were on the ball 1514 01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:10,880 Speaker 1: at all, and it was let's break up the pass 1515 01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,920 Speaker 1: because maybe he stumbled, maybe got himself out of position 1516 01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:17,679 Speaker 1: a little bit, but then it obviously became the receiver 1517 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:21,320 Speaker 1: and not the ball because you pull off and things 1518 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:24,800 Speaker 1: are totally different. But once that happens, you know, you 1519 01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,920 Speaker 1: give new life to an offense that really didn't need 1520 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:29,920 Speaker 1: it at that time, and they go down, they're able 1521 01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:33,559 Speaker 1: to score. But you know, it just seemed like every 1522 01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:36,519 Speaker 1: time something kind of got itself going a penalty, a 1523 01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:41,120 Speaker 1: mistake or something seemed to help stall out drives. And 1524 01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 1: yesterday in the second half, for possession, they go punt, punt, interception, punt. 1525 01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 1: That's that's tough to win a game that way, and 1526 01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:53,200 Speaker 1: yet they were still only seven down when the final 1527 01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:56,679 Speaker 1: whistle was blown. Trey, I give you one hundred dollars 1528 01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,320 Speaker 1: of my good, hard earned money, and I tell you 1529 01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:02,120 Speaker 1: go to Vague and you got two three and oh 1530 01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,519 Speaker 1: teams that I that I want you to put money on. 1531 01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:06,080 Speaker 1: And you got to pick one of the other one 1532 01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 1: hundred dollars on either team to go win it all 1533 01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:13,320 Speaker 1: three O Tennessee three and oh Buffalo, where does the 1534 01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:20,439 Speaker 1: money go? Oh, they're gonna play, They're gonna play soon. Oh, 1535 01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:27,639 Speaker 1: Allen's killing it. Josh Allen is killing it. Yeah, but Josh, 1536 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,040 Speaker 1: I gotta see playoff. Josh Allen. That's true. Better, so 1537 01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:35,640 Speaker 1: might I might tend to tend to favor Tennessee, and Uh, 1538 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,160 Speaker 1: with that one hundred dollars, bet I would probably take 1539 01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:42,120 Speaker 1: your hundred dollars go to Vegas and bet on Tennessee 1540 01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:45,240 Speaker 1: in that scenario because of the deep run they've had 1541 01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:48,559 Speaker 1: last year into the playoffs. Once they get there, they 1542 01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:51,880 Speaker 1: now are no strangers to that type of pressure and 1543 01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,040 Speaker 1: what needs to be done and how to ramp up 1544 01:21:54,080 --> 01:22:00,599 Speaker 1: their game. So Buffalo not so much in that category. Well, 1545 01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:05,040 Speaker 1: hang out the four horsemen of the apocalyptic schedule making device. Uh, 1546 01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:08,880 Speaker 1: they have already visited the Texans. They're coming for the Titans. Okay, 1547 01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:11,320 Speaker 1: they are coming for the Titans later on. The schedule 1548 01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,880 Speaker 1: is gonna get a lot thicker, a lot, a lot tougher. 1549 01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,559 Speaker 1: We're talking about this a little bit yesterday, but oh, 1550 01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 1: what's the deal with all these West Coast games? I 1551 01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:25,479 Speaker 1: think there might have been like three of them yesterday, 1552 01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:29,320 Speaker 1: all these West Coast teams going east and then playing early. 1553 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,920 Speaker 1: It was. It was ridiculous yesterday. I mean, I don't 1554 01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,960 Speaker 1: know how you do it. Because you're getting up what 1555 01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,439 Speaker 1: three hours earlier to play a football game. That's a 1556 01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,920 Speaker 1: that's a tough ask for a for a team to do. 1557 01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:45,519 Speaker 1: But you know, you play them as they deal them. 1558 01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:49,479 Speaker 1: I guess, well, if I remember correctly, I think the 1559 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,679 Speaker 1: forty nine ers stayed at the Greenbrier last week because 1560 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,360 Speaker 1: they went to beat the Jets and then turned around 1561 01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:57,519 Speaker 1: and beat the Giants and they I think they stayed 1562 01:22:57,560 --> 01:22:59,639 Speaker 1: at the Greenbriars. So maybe there's a little Greenbriar magic 1563 01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:05,160 Speaker 1: mark after all. Drake Quick, No, maybe you had Aggies 1564 01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,600 Speaker 1: and Vanderbilt. What did you make of the Aggies? I 1565 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:10,280 Speaker 1: know you like the Aggies, but they struggled to beat 1566 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,320 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt at home. But it's a weird year. What did 1567 01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:15,600 Speaker 1: you make of it? Well, you know, Vanderbilt had a 1568 01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:17,920 Speaker 1: little bit to say about that. They forced a bunch 1569 01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,839 Speaker 1: of turnovers, especially in the second half, to keep themselves 1570 01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,560 Speaker 1: close in the game. A and m has all the 1571 01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,720 Speaker 1: talent that you need to really make a run. I 1572 01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:29,439 Speaker 1: said before the season, I think that this could be 1573 01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:33,640 Speaker 1: this year's version of LSU or. They've got an experienced 1574 01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:37,960 Speaker 1: quarterback in Kellen Mahn, and it's experienced offensive line, two 1575 01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:41,719 Speaker 1: backs that are just outstanding, and Spiller and Ania Smith 1576 01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:45,439 Speaker 1: and arguably one of the top two or three tight 1577 01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:49,680 Speaker 1: ends in the country and Jalen Watermotter. It's just unfortunate 1578 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:53,120 Speaker 1: that Osbon decided to opt out to get himself ready 1579 01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:57,320 Speaker 1: for the NFL Draft instead of playing out this season, 1580 01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:01,120 Speaker 1: because now he's got a bunch of talented but young 1581 01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:03,960 Speaker 1: wide receivers and he did a heck of a job 1582 01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:07,519 Speaker 1: spreading the ball around to him. Defensively, they've got some monsters. 1583 01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:12,200 Speaker 1: Bobby Brown d Marvin Leal is going to be a 1584 01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:15,920 Speaker 1: future first round pick. They've got a secondary and linebackers, 1585 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 1: but led by Buddy Johnson, they've got all the pieces 1586 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:22,280 Speaker 1: to be this year's LSU. But they've got to first 1587 01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,080 Speaker 1: go on the road to Tuscaloosa next week and take 1588 01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:27,000 Speaker 1: care of business there. And they made a lot of 1589 01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:29,760 Speaker 1: mistakes that I know that coach Fisher will clean up 1590 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:33,080 Speaker 1: uh and uh and fix in a hurry, because if 1591 01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:34,680 Speaker 1: they don't fix them in a hurry, you know how 1592 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 1: things can turn out when you go into that state. 1593 01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:41,040 Speaker 1: You mentioned Bobby Brown. Hang on a second, you mentioned 1594 01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:44,200 Speaker 1: Bobby Brown. Better Bobby Brown's song, every little step or 1595 01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:50,439 Speaker 1: my prerogative, My prerogative, man, Yes, serve that one up. 1596 01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:52,960 Speaker 1: I served that one up for you. Okay, Tray, what's 1597 01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:56,840 Speaker 1: your college game this year? This week, uh BYU is 1598 01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,120 Speaker 1: at home against Louisiana Tech. And it's what's the or 1599 01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:04,160 Speaker 1: any of that is Vanderbilt hired away a talent Fitch 1600 01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,040 Speaker 1: to come and coach it its offense, and they have 1601 01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:10,839 Speaker 1: a young group that you know, made there were some problems, 1602 01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,400 Speaker 1: took the first drive down against saying them and put 1603 01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:15,760 Speaker 1: it actually put a field goal up to take the 1604 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 1: lead early. Got a young true freshman quarterback in Kinseal, 1605 01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:21,720 Speaker 1: so he's got some pieces to work with. I say 1606 01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:24,120 Speaker 1: all that to say he's not at Louisiana Tech anymore. 1607 01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:28,240 Speaker 1: Who's going to face DYU and BYU With Zach Wilson. 1608 01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,880 Speaker 1: I'm on record as saying this is he's a future 1609 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:35,840 Speaker 1: first round pick. He will remind you at times of 1610 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,519 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers the way he plays and the way he 1611 01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:42,160 Speaker 1: delivers the football and the effortless motion in which he 1612 01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:45,800 Speaker 1: throws it. He is a natural passers. That'll be a 1613 01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:49,040 Speaker 1: fun game from a quarterback standpoint for me to watch, 1614 01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:51,840 Speaker 1: just because I believe in Zach Wilson and he has 1615 01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:55,360 Speaker 1: not disappointed. All Right, Trey, thanks all for joining us. 1616 01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:58,439 Speaker 1: All Right, guys, I'll talk to you later.

David Johnson, 1715 01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:51,000 Speaker 1: all right, Mark Vandamer John Harris with you, Johnny. The 1716 01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:53,400 Speaker 1: a three start. We went through this two years ago, 1717 01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:56,840 Speaker 1: which is amazing to think about that they went oh 1718 01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:58,360 Speaker 1: and three and they won nine in a row. They 1719 01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:02,439 Speaker 1: went eleven and five and obviously won the division. I 1720 01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:05,040 Speaker 1: mentioned the last two times there were three games below 1721 01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:07,600 Speaker 1: five hundred, they've won their division. Twenty fifteen was the 1722 01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:11,000 Speaker 1: other time. Correct me if I'm wrong. The last two 1723 01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:13,680 Speaker 1: years prior to this one, in eighteen and nineteen, they 1724 01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:17,360 Speaker 1: avoided the dreaded three game losing streak. They did not 1725 01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:20,240 Speaker 1: avoid it in seventeen. Obviously. Seventeen was a meltdown year 1726 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,000 Speaker 1: with all the injuries. Sixteen they had a three game 1727 01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:24,040 Speaker 1: losing streak fairly late in the season that put them 1728 01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:25,880 Speaker 1: out the ropes, but they bounced out of it and 1729 01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:28,400 Speaker 1: were able to win the division and win a playoff game. 1730 01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:32,120 Speaker 1: Correct fifteen, two and five. Did they have an actual 1731 01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:35,800 Speaker 1: three game losing streak In fifteen? Uh? They went and two, 1732 01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:41,519 Speaker 1: then beat Tampa, then lost to Atlanta, and then I 1733 01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:45,200 Speaker 1: think they were two and four. I don't think I'm sorry. 1734 01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:50,320 Speaker 1: They were going to Jacksonville, beat jackson Good Tune four 1735 01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:52,479 Speaker 1: lost to Miami's Tune five. So they never had three 1736 01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:56,080 Speaker 1: game losing streaks that year, but they did in fourteen. 1737 01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:57,960 Speaker 1: They did it in fourteen because they had Dallas the 1738 01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:02,040 Speaker 1: Colts in Pittsburgh. So you know they've done this. And look, 1739 01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:04,599 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is I'm not saying it's good. 1740 01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:09,080 Speaker 1: Believe me. I think they've started slow. You know, I 1741 01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:13,120 Speaker 1: look at I look at the history of this in 1742 01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:16,559 Speaker 1: this era we're in, and obviously two years was two 1743 01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:19,120 Speaker 1: years ago as a slow start. Got out of that 1744 01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:21,960 Speaker 1: last year. I wouldn't call it a slow start, but 1745 01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:24,680 Speaker 1: some of it was sluggish. I mean, they had that 1746 01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:28,160 Speaker 1: at the wire win against the Jags where they had 1747 01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:30,599 Speaker 1: to stop the two point conversion attempt by Leonard Fournette 1748 01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,760 Speaker 1: in order to get that victory. And they obviously beat 1749 01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 1: the Chargers, but they lost to the Panthers at home. 1750 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:37,479 Speaker 1: I mean it was kind of sluggish in a way. 1751 01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:40,640 Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen a couple of good wins at home with 1752 01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:42,840 Speaker 1: the Bears and the the winner of the Chiefs was 1753 01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:46,559 Speaker 1: really great, but the road start was awful that year, 1754 01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:50,960 Speaker 1: with the blowout losses at New England, at Minnesota. The 1755 01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:53,200 Speaker 1: Monday nighter in Denver wasn't a blowout, but it was 1756 01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:56,160 Speaker 1: not a good performance, and then you know, they kind 1757 01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:58,600 Speaker 1: of get it going, and I think that I don't know, 1758 01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to compare this year to two years ago. 1759 01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm trying to look for, you know, not silver linings, 1760 01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:07,439 Speaker 1: but I'm trying to look for inspiration, even recent history 1761 01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:10,160 Speaker 1: that shows, you know what, they have a chance to 1762 01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:11,920 Speaker 1: get it together here. Now, they might be too far 1763 01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:13,800 Speaker 1: behind by the time they do, and that's what they're 1764 01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:16,000 Speaker 1: going to try to avoid. But they're not there yet. 1765 01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:18,880 Speaker 1: They'll get there in a hurry though. A loss on Sunday, 1766 01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:20,760 Speaker 1: I mean, oh in four. I I know they were 1767 01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:23,840 Speaker 1: owing four two thousand and eight, completely different situation, and 1768 01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:25,760 Speaker 1: they were able to finish eight and eight, had a 1769 01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:27,800 Speaker 1: chance to finish nine and seven. But my goodness, I 1770 01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:29,720 Speaker 1: don't want to have to go there. Yeah, you're right, 1771 01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:30,880 Speaker 1: you don't want to have to go there, and you 1772 01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:33,280 Speaker 1: don't you don't want to be in a situation where 1773 01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:37,200 Speaker 1: you're owing three. Now we talked about that. I mean McClain. 1774 01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:41,880 Speaker 1: You know, John John had it. Maybe he had it best. 1775 01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:46,280 Speaker 1: He's like, look, he's predicted we went into the year 1776 01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:48,479 Speaker 1: and he said, look, I predicted they'd be owing three. 1777 01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:51,400 Speaker 1: They're playing three of the top five, top six teams 1778 01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:53,320 Speaker 1: in the league in the first three games. Nobody has 1779 01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:56,120 Speaker 1: that sort of schedule. You're gonna play these three teams 1780 01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:59,599 Speaker 1: to start off the year, and then you're going into 1781 01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:01,240 Speaker 1: the year. You know, look at the Vikings. And I've 1782 01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:04,160 Speaker 1: been watching this Tennessee game kind of as I'm watching 1783 01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:06,160 Speaker 1: the Texans and Steelers. I'm trying to say the Texans 1784 01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:07,960 Speaker 1: and Steelers because I know as I was watching, as 1785 01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:09,760 Speaker 1: I would watch this game, I would say something out 1786 01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:11,640 Speaker 1: loud while you're talking, and I shouldn't do that, and 1787 01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:12,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. So I've been watching 1788 01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:16,599 Speaker 1: the Vikings and the Titans. And by the way, the Vikings, 1789 01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:18,719 Speaker 1: this is not going to be easy at all. Nothing 1790 01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:22,559 Speaker 1: is in the NFL. There are no Langustine State Techs 1791 01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,240 Speaker 1: out there that you can just hey, let's just throw, 1792 01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, let's roll out the balls and go get 1793 01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:29,720 Speaker 1: a win, because we're that much better athletically than the 1794 01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:33,840 Speaker 1: other team. Oh boy, with the Vikings. But it just 1795 01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,720 Speaker 1: gets to a point where you have to just get 1796 01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:40,840 Speaker 1: a win to remember what it felt like when you 1797 01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:43,000 Speaker 1: put in all that work and you did get a 1798 01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:46,920 Speaker 1: win on that Sunday. And that's where this team has 1799 01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:48,560 Speaker 1: to get to. And I think there were times in 1800 01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:52,360 Speaker 1: that game It's Pittsburgh where you could start to sense, okay, 1801 01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:55,719 Speaker 1: man are getting at that winning feeling, like they're feeling 1802 01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:58,680 Speaker 1: this a little bit. You know, fourteen to three, they 1803 01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:00,560 Speaker 1: get us stopping at the ball back in Mark. I 1804 01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:02,840 Speaker 1: haven't seen that sideline that juiced up for a while. 1805 01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:06,200 Speaker 1: And then the Steelers come back go bang bang up seventeen. 1806 01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:09,719 Speaker 1: Oh not now, Oh this is not good. They're gonna 1807 01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:11,559 Speaker 1: double dip, They're gonna get the ball starts second half 1808 01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:13,840 Speaker 1: an hour in trouble and then that drive comes with 1809 01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:16,800 Speaker 1: five place seventy five yards and it's just pinpoint and 1810 01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:20,120 Speaker 1: to Shawn it four different receivers on that drive. He 1811 01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:23,360 Speaker 1: has three receivers and he hit Aikins on that drive 1812 01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,000 Speaker 1: and moves it all the way down the field and 1813 01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:30,519 Speaker 1: it looked easy. And yes TJ was off the field, 1814 01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:32,800 Speaker 1: not that whole drive. I don't think I think he 1815 01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:35,560 Speaker 1: was off the field on that one last play, but 1816 01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:39,800 Speaker 1: you could start to see like, hey, yeah, we maybe 1817 01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,439 Speaker 1: lost our confidence to go back down seventeen fourteen, but 1818 01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:43,960 Speaker 1: we got it back right before the end of the half, 1819 01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:47,160 Speaker 1: and I thought, Okay, now here we go. And the 1820 01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:49,519 Speaker 1: Steelers just didn't let up in the second half. And 1821 01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:52,600 Speaker 1: not to say that that the Texans did, but you 1822 01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:53,880 Speaker 1: just get to a point where you run out of 1823 01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:57,439 Speaker 1: gas and look, bends a veteran quarterback. He's feeling good. 1824 01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:00,280 Speaker 1: I think he likes the players around him. He doesn't 1825 01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:01,799 Speaker 1: have a lot of divas out there. Doesn am Antonio 1826 01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:03,920 Speaker 1: Brown to deal with, Levion bel to deal with James Connor, 1827 01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:06,280 Speaker 1: shuts his mouth and runs the ball up front. Their 1828 01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:09,719 Speaker 1: physical They're two linemen that they put into the lineup 1829 01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:13,400 Speaker 1: Chucks Oka for at right tackle and Matt Feiler, who 1830 01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:15,880 Speaker 1: was a rookie, underrated rookie here with the Texans for 1831 01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:19,280 Speaker 1: a while. He's turned into a really nice guard option 1832 01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:22,160 Speaker 1: for them. So that line really started to come together. 1833 01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:26,840 Speaker 1: And look, that defense is just top not. So when 1834 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:29,120 Speaker 1: John would talk about this team being owen three mark, 1835 01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,080 Speaker 1: I in my mind, I was like, all right, well, 1836 01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:35,639 Speaker 1: if that's the case, then this season really starts on Sunday, 1837 01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:38,680 Speaker 1: and now you gotta go ten and three. Can you 1838 01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:43,040 Speaker 1: go ten and three with games against the Vikings, two, Jags, 1839 01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:49,200 Speaker 1: two Titans, two Colts, Packers, and Browns two and one? 1840 01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:51,680 Speaker 1: Right now? Can you go ten and three against the 1841 01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:53,840 Speaker 1: schedule like that? Oh and by the way, the Bears 1842 01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:56,040 Speaker 1: are three and ozh and the Lions one yesterday to 1843 01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:58,040 Speaker 1: get to one and two. Can you go ten and 1844 01:37:58,160 --> 01:38:01,360 Speaker 1: three against that the rest of the year? Because if 1845 01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:03,479 Speaker 1: that was the pretty I remember thinking when John would 1846 01:38:03,479 --> 01:38:05,960 Speaker 1: say that, I was like, Okay, let's play both sides this. 1847 01:38:06,240 --> 01:38:07,639 Speaker 1: I don't think they'll be on three. I think they're 1848 01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:09,840 Speaker 1: gonna win one of these games at a minimum. But 1849 01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:11,679 Speaker 1: they didn't, So okay, let's go to the other side. 1850 01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:15,120 Speaker 1: One in three. Season starts Sunday, our Ducks in the 1851 01:38:15,200 --> 01:38:17,000 Speaker 1: road to go get a win to start the season 1852 01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:22,000 Speaker 1: essentially on Sunday against Minnesota. That's what we gotta hope happens, 1853 01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:23,599 Speaker 1: and they get on a little bit of a run 1854 01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:28,559 Speaker 1: to get back to five hundred and hopefully above five 1855 01:38:28,680 --> 01:38:30,280 Speaker 1: hundred before you go into a bye week. But that 1856 01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:33,400 Speaker 1: would mean you'd beat Jags at home, Packers at home, 1857 01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:36,519 Speaker 1: Vikings at home and tightens on the road. Well you 1858 01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:38,600 Speaker 1: pulled it off. Yeah, you don't have to tell me 1859 01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:40,800 Speaker 1: how tough these games are. As you know, and I 1860 01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:43,600 Speaker 1: said at the start of the season, or even in 1861 01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:46,439 Speaker 1: all offseason when the schedule came out, Since the schedule 1862 01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:49,240 Speaker 1: came out, get me to four and four at the 1863 01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:52,280 Speaker 1: halfway point. If he can get me to four and four, 1864 01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:55,719 Speaker 1: I feel pretty good. And you know you're relatively healthy. 1865 01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:58,280 Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about those final eight, not being 1866 01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:00,160 Speaker 1: able to win them all, but being able to do 1867 01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:03,599 Speaker 1: some damage. And obviously you have to do the damage, 1868 01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:07,160 Speaker 1: particularly in your division. Don't forget that the Titans and 1869 01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:10,000 Speaker 1: Cold still have to play. Things like that have to 1870 01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:14,000 Speaker 1: go down. The Titans closing schedule is ridiculously difficult. That 1871 01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:16,600 Speaker 1: might help you out, Obviously, it's not going to do 1872 01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:18,479 Speaker 1: a thing for you if you're not playing well yourself. 1873 01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:20,840 Speaker 1: So you got to do that. But as we speak, 1874 01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:23,200 Speaker 1: and I'm with you, I figured these first three we're 1875 01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:25,599 Speaker 1: gonna be really tough, but they'd win at least one 1876 01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:28,519 Speaker 1: of them, and they haven't done it. So there goes 1877 01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:32,080 Speaker 1: a big chunk of your margin for error later on, 1878 01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:34,760 Speaker 1: because and I know people are listening saying Vandamar come 1879 01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:37,120 Speaker 1: on I mean, what are you talking about playoffs? I mean, 1880 01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:39,280 Speaker 1: you can't even go there right now. And I know 1881 01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:42,320 Speaker 1: it's all about beating the Vikings on Sunday, but this 1882 01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:44,760 Speaker 1: is radio Landing. We look ahead all the time. We're 1883 01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:47,040 Speaker 1: allowed to do this. You know, I'm not gonna do 1884 01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:48,960 Speaker 1: it on a Bill O'Brien show. Coach, what do you 1885 01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:51,840 Speaker 1: think of playing the Packers in a few weeks? What 1886 01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:54,559 Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen? Coach? What do you think you're 1887 01:39:54,560 --> 01:39:57,200 Speaker 1: gonna be after seven games going into your five? What 1888 01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:58,679 Speaker 1: do you think about? What do you think about that? Coach? 1889 01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:00,439 Speaker 1: Do you think about? What do you do? You want 1890 01:40:00,479 --> 01:40:02,120 Speaker 1: a home game in the first round of the playoffs? 1891 01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:03,519 Speaker 1: Who would you rather be on the road the first 1892 01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:06,080 Speaker 1: round of the playoffs? What do you do during the 1893 01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:08,840 Speaker 1: bye week with these players? Johnny, you gotta like test 1894 01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:11,000 Speaker 1: and test and test. I mean, are they allowed to 1895 01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:13,559 Speaker 1: go anywhere? I haven't even thought about that, man, I'm 1896 01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:17,479 Speaker 1: not going to ask him that today. Believe me, that question, Coach, 1897 01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:20,920 Speaker 1: what are you planning for the bye We should we 1898 01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:24,599 Speaker 1: should take suggestions questions to not ask during the Coaches 1899 01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:27,920 Speaker 1: Show today. Hey, that would be one of them. What 1900 01:40:28,040 --> 01:40:31,479 Speaker 1: are your plans on the bye week anything good. Look this, 1901 01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:35,200 Speaker 1: like I said, and it's unfortunate. You've had situations like 1902 01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:37,400 Speaker 1: this before and you've been able to bounce back. Now 1903 01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:40,439 Speaker 1: you cannot. That's living on the edge, that's living on 1904 01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:43,639 Speaker 1: a prayer, that's whatever eighties theme you want to come 1905 01:40:43,720 --> 01:40:48,479 Speaker 1: up with, hair band, rock band, whatever. You can't continue 1906 01:40:48,520 --> 01:40:50,840 Speaker 1: to do this, But here you are. So can you 1907 01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:54,479 Speaker 1: beat the Vikings on Sunday? Certainly possible. They ran the 1908 01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:56,599 Speaker 1: bejeebers out of the ball. I mean they racked up 1909 01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:59,240 Speaker 1: over two hundred rushing yards. They are coming for you 1910 01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:02,320 Speaker 1: because that both teams are looking at this as a 1911 01:41:02,439 --> 01:41:05,519 Speaker 1: get well opportunity. So here we go. I mean, this 1912 01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:07,479 Speaker 1: is it. They're saying, well, we can beat the Texans. 1913 01:41:07,600 --> 01:41:09,840 Speaker 1: Texans are saying, well we can beat the Vikings, and 1914 01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:13,400 Speaker 1: this could be a real hotly contested affair. I expect 1915 01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:15,880 Speaker 1: it to be fully all right, coming up, What were 1916 01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:19,160 Speaker 1: the silver linings from yesterday? Things you can build off 1917 01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:21,800 Speaker 1: as you move forward to take on the Vikings. And 1918 01:41:22,040 --> 01:41:23,640 Speaker 1: we didn't really get around in the league much and 1919 01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:26,360 Speaker 1: I want to do that in the next segment as 1920 01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:28,320 Speaker 1: we get ready for the close of business.

Watson in the 2013 01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:06,160 Speaker 1: gun Cobb slot left. Here's the snap the Sean throwing 2014 01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:09,400 Speaker 1: up side of the end zone. Wats Fuller has him touchdown. 2015 01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:14,240 Speaker 1: Yuston all Right. Fuller in the game. Four targets or 2016 01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:18,519 Speaker 1: five targets, four receptions, and that's touchdown. He was targeted 2017 01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:21,920 Speaker 1: three times in the first half according to the game 2018 01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:27,400 Speaker 1: statistics provided by the NFL, so two targets for him 2019 01:47:27,560 --> 01:47:29,880 Speaker 1: in the second half, one target for Cobb in the 2020 01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:33,479 Speaker 1: second half. Look, they ran seventeen plays, so if you're 2021 01:47:33,479 --> 01:47:35,519 Speaker 1: not converting on third down, you're just not able to 2022 01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:38,840 Speaker 1: get more of those opportunities. But Johnny, I'm looking at 2023 01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:42,599 Speaker 1: the chemistry that Watson has with Fuller. Fuller's available, Fuller's healthy, 2024 01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:45,479 Speaker 1: you gotta go to Fuller, and it's easier said than 2025 01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:48,560 Speaker 1: done again when you're not converting these third down opportunities 2026 01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:51,320 Speaker 1: they have in the second half. So I'm not saying 2027 01:47:51,360 --> 01:47:54,599 Speaker 1: it's all because of that, but I do enjoy watching 2028 01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:58,200 Speaker 1: Watson and Fuller do their thing. There's clearly a chemistry there, 2029 01:47:58,240 --> 01:47:59,960 Speaker 1: and we saw that even with DeAndre on the team, 2030 01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:03,120 Speaker 1: where it's like, hey, you know, you like this Fuller 2031 01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:05,960 Speaker 1: guy and awful. It's kind of like that that meme 2032 01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:08,120 Speaker 1: we see with the girl walking with the guy and 2033 01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:11,639 Speaker 1: the guy's looking back at the other girl like you know, um, 2034 01:48:12,160 --> 01:48:13,800 Speaker 1: maybe it's not quite like that, but I just thought 2035 01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:15,559 Speaker 1: of that guy was popped into my mind. I saw. 2036 01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:18,439 Speaker 1: I saw another company recreate that and use it for 2037 01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:22,000 Speaker 1: a digital ad, which I thought was brilliant anyway. But yeah, 2038 01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:25,120 Speaker 1: watching them Fuller clearly a thing when they're out there 2039 01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:28,160 Speaker 1: on the field together, and Fuller's healthy. So let's see 2040 01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:30,080 Speaker 1: more of that, please. I mean that, like, I hate 2041 01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:32,200 Speaker 1: to call it a silver lining or whatever, but man 2042 01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:35,040 Speaker 1: Fuller over a Hundy in the first game Fuller yesterday 2043 01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:38,080 Speaker 1: in the first half. Let's get some consistency there in 2044 01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:41,120 Speaker 1: that connection and see where it takes us. Yeah, you're right. 2045 01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:42,880 Speaker 1: And you know the thing about all these guys is 2046 01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:46,360 Speaker 1: they get to their routes pretty quickly and if you're 2047 01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:49,519 Speaker 1: worried about them going over the top on you. And 2048 01:48:49,560 --> 01:48:52,200 Speaker 1: I think a great example of that was on the 2049 01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:56,640 Speaker 1: first touchdown drive. You remember when Cooks got matched up 2050 01:48:56,680 --> 01:48:59,680 Speaker 1: on Vince Williams down the sideline just whatever place, yea 2051 01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:04,640 Speaker 1: and and DeShawn is a little he threw it more 2052 01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:06,840 Speaker 1: on a line. I think he had it back. He 2053 01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:09,040 Speaker 1: would have lofted it a little bit let and let 2054 01:49:09,360 --> 01:49:11,639 Speaker 1: Brandon run to the back of the end zone catching 2055 01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:13,840 Speaker 1: it as opposed to hitting him on a line like 2056 01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:17,880 Speaker 1: at about the goal line. That said, the very next play. 2057 01:49:18,600 --> 01:49:21,200 Speaker 1: They kind of back off a little bit and Randall 2058 01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:23,320 Speaker 1: Cobb gets matched up on Mike Hilton and Randall just 2059 01:49:23,640 --> 01:49:28,360 Speaker 1: spins him around. Caught it. Everybody's locked up down the field, 2060 01:49:28,760 --> 01:49:30,559 Speaker 1: and he goes into the end zone from the twelve 2061 01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:33,240 Speaker 1: yard line untouched. He knows really cool about that clip, Mark, 2062 01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:34,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed this. With no fans 2063 01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:38,879 Speaker 1: in the stands, you get kind of a true football experience. 2064 01:49:38,920 --> 01:49:40,639 Speaker 1: You hear the seawan in the background of your call, 2065 01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:43,439 Speaker 1: you hear the pads pop in, you hear some of 2066 01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:46,040 Speaker 1: the communication on the field, you hear some of that. 2067 01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:48,560 Speaker 1: It's kind of neat. I mean, obviously I'm hearing a 2068 01:49:48,560 --> 01:49:50,760 Speaker 1: lot of stuff as the broadcast is going on, but 2069 01:49:50,960 --> 01:49:52,559 Speaker 1: hearing that clip was kind of cool because you hear 2070 01:49:52,600 --> 01:49:54,800 Speaker 1: de Shaan's you know, go through it, you hear some 2071 01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:56,800 Speaker 1: of the pads pop and then all that. I think 2072 01:49:56,800 --> 01:49:58,479 Speaker 1: it's really kind of neat. With no fans, you get 2073 01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:00,880 Speaker 1: a chance to hear all that. That said, I would 2074 01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:03,400 Speaker 1: like to have fans at home games. Away games, I'm 2075 01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:04,920 Speaker 1: fine with I can just kind of move around the 2076 01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:07,120 Speaker 1: way that I want. It's kind of nice up in 2077 01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:09,479 Speaker 1: my moat. But with the fans it makes it a 2078 01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:12,479 Speaker 1: little bit more difficult. But man, if he, if Deshaun 2079 01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:15,960 Speaker 1: could just get a half second more time, these guys 2080 01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:18,800 Speaker 1: are getting open for the most part. They're getting open now. 2081 01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,720 Speaker 1: Teams are coming up and learning and jamming them. But 2082 01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:24,040 Speaker 1: all it's gonna take is beat them with a deep 2083 01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:28,519 Speaker 1: ball and you'll be okay, seemingly, But here's the problem 2084 01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:31,240 Speaker 1: you got, Harrison Smith, you gotta worry about. And watching 2085 01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:33,439 Speaker 1: the Tennessee game, Tennessee thought they had a deep route. 2086 01:50:33,600 --> 01:50:35,800 Speaker 1: Tannehill hung one up there, who went over and picked 2087 01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:38,160 Speaker 1: it off. Harrison Smith playing in the middle of the field. Now, 2088 01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,320 Speaker 1: I was worried about that with Minka too, But Minka 2089 01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:42,880 Speaker 1: really didn't get involved in yesterday's game. I mean, he 2090 01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:46,800 Speaker 1: was not a big, a real big factor in that game. 2091 01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:49,600 Speaker 1: That's kept everything in front. And the Texans took it 2092 01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:51,559 Speaker 1: the first time they went and took it two hundred 2093 01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:54,439 Speaker 1: two yards passing one hundred and fifty something rating for 2094 01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:56,479 Speaker 1: Deshaun in the first half. And you're like, man, all right, 2095 01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:58,040 Speaker 1: keep this up. You're not gonna get to two o 2096 01:50:58,200 --> 01:51:00,280 Speaker 1: two and the second half, but now keep this going. 2097 01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:03,719 Speaker 1: Let's see if this pace and see if the Steelers 2098 01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:06,360 Speaker 1: defense can keep up with it. And obviously it flipped 2099 01:51:06,400 --> 01:51:09,080 Speaker 1: because the Steelers kept maintaining the ball, but you can 2100 01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:14,040 Speaker 1: see where it can go. And I think one of 2101 01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:16,000 Speaker 1: the things that gave the Steers issue is when David 2102 01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:18,040 Speaker 1: Johnson went out wide, when he split out wide and 2103 01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:20,680 Speaker 1: de Sean went empty, was like, oh, what do we 2104 01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:22,759 Speaker 1: do with this? And I could see it on the Steels. 2105 01:51:22,760 --> 01:51:24,559 Speaker 1: I could see it mark when they went out empty. 2106 01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:27,280 Speaker 1: They were all looking at each other like Viz Williams 2107 01:51:27,400 --> 01:51:29,240 Speaker 1: is pointing, I gotta go out there, and Joe Haydn's 2108 01:51:29,280 --> 01:51:30,840 Speaker 1: point back like no, no, go in there. I got this, 2109 01:51:31,160 --> 01:51:32,640 Speaker 1: and then Devin Bush is like no, no, I come 2110 01:51:32,640 --> 01:51:35,080 Speaker 1: over here. I mean, they were really confused a few 2111 01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:37,360 Speaker 1: times that the Texans went empty, and that's the one 2112 01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:39,759 Speaker 1: time they hit David down the sideline against that defense. 2113 01:51:39,840 --> 01:51:42,400 Speaker 1: So I think there's something there with the connection he 2114 01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:45,160 Speaker 1: has with Fuller and when he's growing with Cobb and Cooks, 2115 01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:48,439 Speaker 1: but also having David out wide can confuse things for 2116 01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:50,639 Speaker 1: the opposing team. And hopefully that's what happens a little 2117 01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:52,680 Speaker 1: bit more with the Vikings that I'll be without some 2118 01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:55,680 Speaker 1: key guys. Anthony bars out for the season, and the 2119 01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:59,000 Speaker 1: secondary is very raw and young for the Vikings as 2120 01:51:59,040 --> 01:52:01,960 Speaker 1: well and up as it was yesterday, So we'll see 2121 01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:03,560 Speaker 1: what happens. Is a big one for both teams, but 2122 01:52:03,680 --> 01:52:05,759 Speaker 1: looking forward to get back on the field and getting 2123 01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:09,160 Speaker 1: a finally getting that winning feeling back. Better find a 2124 01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:12,200 Speaker 1: way to move the football because on their side of things, look, 2125 01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:14,840 Speaker 1: it's easy to say, get after Kirk Cousins, Rattle them, 2126 01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:17,320 Speaker 1: get wat after him, get all the pass rushers after him, 2127 01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, hit them, make them, make them feel it, 2128 01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:22,880 Speaker 1: get him to throw picks. But they're not gonna even 2129 01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,000 Speaker 1: have to worry about that if they're running for two 2130 01:52:25,120 --> 01:52:28,880 Speaker 1: hundred yards plus like they did yesterday. And guess what now, 2131 01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:31,560 Speaker 1: they're not even close to the top rushing team in 2132 01:52:31,600 --> 01:52:34,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, which is kind of surprising when you think 2133 01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:35,800 Speaker 1: about it, although maybe not. They're only three. They had 2134 01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:38,160 Speaker 1: to throw in a bunch, especially last week against Indie, 2135 01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:44,120 Speaker 1: but Johnny, top three rushing teams in the league, the Patriots, 2136 01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:47,879 Speaker 1: the Packers, and the Browns, and they're all on the schedule. 2137 01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:51,040 Speaker 1: You gotta find a way to stop the run. What 2138 01:52:51,200 --> 01:52:53,240 Speaker 1: was the text you sent me? There was a tweet 2139 01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:56,759 Speaker 1: that the Texans have what signed somebody. Yeah. Aaron Wilson 2140 01:52:56,920 --> 01:52:59,720 Speaker 1: tweeted this shot on Earli this morning. The Texas are 2141 01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:03,160 Speaker 1: signed defensive tackle Corey Legit, who has been around the 2142 01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:06,960 Speaker 1: block a little bit and plays defensive tackle. Now, obviously 2143 01:53:07,040 --> 01:53:09,639 Speaker 1: we don't have any confirmation to that. We'll see if 2144 01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:13,400 Speaker 1: Bill discusses it in his press conference today, which should 2145 01:53:13,439 --> 01:53:16,600 Speaker 1: happen soon, but we've got no confirmation to that. But 2146 01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:18,439 Speaker 1: it does look like they're at least looking for some 2147 01:53:18,600 --> 01:53:21,920 Speaker 1: help in the middle to help this defense a little bit. 2148 01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:26,120 Speaker 1: On that wardown yesterday. Yeah, Landry and Lopez will play 2149 01:53:26,160 --> 01:53:28,800 Speaker 1: you the Bill O'Brian press conference.
