1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody. Welcome to a money edition of 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: Texans All Access from the Hunday texas In's radio studio. 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris. Glad you are with me 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 1: this evening because we can all grieve together. Although I'm 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: starting to kind of move away from it. I think 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: I got the twenty four hour thing down this morning. 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: I didn't and I didn't help them. My throat is 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 1: well under the weather. But that's okay. I think I 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: think I'm getting past it. I think. And then I 10 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: started watching some of the I started watching the game 11 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: again this afternoon, and that wasn't great because that got 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: me all mad again because Texas at opportunities yesterday just 13 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: couldn't capitalize. But I'm sure that there are fifteen other 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: teams each weekend. There's sixteen teams that can say that, hey, 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: we had opportunities, but we couldn't capitalize. Maybe except one 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: one down in Miami may have an opportunity in a 17 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: game to keep it close, but they're struggling otherwise. But yeah, 18 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: the Texans, along with probably thirteen fourteen there are teams 19 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: that took an l yesterday, are like, oh man, we 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: had our chances Buffalo Bills had their chances yesterday against 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Everybody had their chances sixteen winners, sixteen losers 22 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: most weekends, except you know, this weekend there were a 23 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: couple of buys, so you didn't have as many games. 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: But either way, Texans lose sixteen to ten. And as 25 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: much as that pains me to say, tough weekend for 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: the home ball club, especially with some of the things 27 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: that happens in the AFC South, I said it's the 28 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: mark earlier talking about the AFC South. What would you 29 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: have if I could say, if I'd have given you 30 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: one hundred dollars, you could bet one way or the 31 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: other that you would get two three and one teams 32 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: and two one and three teams or everybody two and two. 33 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: I think most of your money would have been spent 34 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: on the two home teams would have gone to three 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: and one, the Colts and Texans, the two road teams, 36 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: and Titans and Jags would lose. Followed one and three 37 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: complete opposite. Both home teams lose, Texans and Colts, both 38 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: road teams win. In fact, the Jags came back from 39 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: behind to get a win. So we're gonna talking about 40 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: all of that and everything else that happened in the NFL. 41 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: It's bounce around the NFL. We'll call it hot reads, 42 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: but really it's just going around the NFL. But hot 43 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: reads brought to you by Geico fifteen minutes to say 44 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: you're fifteen percent or more on car insurance. You know, 45 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: any time I talk about the NFL, I like to 46 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: have my music. Usually I do predictions on Friday, and 47 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: I like to have my music. Y'all mind if I 48 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 1: play my music just kind of gets me in the mood, 49 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: you know, y'all? Cool? That all right? Cool? Queue up 50 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: my music? Oh yeah, little NFL films to go along 51 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: with this. All right, what happened yesterday in the NFL. Well, 52 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: let's start in the atl where the Tennessee Titans. I'm 53 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: still trying to figure this game out. If you went 54 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: just by the stat sheet and you're like, boy, Matt 55 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 1: Ryan thirty five and fifty three for three hundred ninety 56 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: seven yards, that's a pretty good day. Marcus Mariota eighteen 57 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: to twenty seven, two hundred twenty seven yards. But then 58 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: you see a three in a touchdown column from Marcus Mariota, 59 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: and you see a zero in a touchdown column from 60 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and go wait a second here, I mean 61 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: the Falcons had three guys with eight catches or more. 62 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: The Titans had one guy with five catches. The problem 63 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: was Falcons couldn't stop the Titans A J. Brown a 64 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: fifty five yard touchdown catch and run in eleven yard 65 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: touchdown catch. Titans win twenty four to ten. And the 66 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: Tits have had these games over the years where they've 67 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: kind of where they've kind of turned a corner since 68 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Where you go, they won that game? I 69 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: remember the Kansas City game in twenty sixteen. Late they 70 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: won that game. Kell look up and go man, they 71 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: beat the Patriots that badly last year. How they win 72 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: this game against the Falcons twenty four to ten. As 73 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: the Falcons fall to one in three as they get 74 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: ready to come to Houston, the Tennessee Titans go to 75 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: two and two, tied for first and last, depending on 76 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: how you look at it. In the AFC South, Derrick 77 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: Henry rushes for a hundred yards twenty seven carries. It 78 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: took him to get to a hundred yards, but he 79 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: gets to a hundred yards as Marriot throws three touchdowns. 80 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: That's a story, got rid of football against the banged 81 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: up secondary, and the Titans get a win. Hopefully the Texans, 82 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: we'll take a look at tape, find some things they 83 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: like and go with it to get a win. Titans 84 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: two and two, Falcons go to one and three. The Browns, 85 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, they are a talking point every single weekend. Well, 86 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: they were taking on the Ravens. The Ravens were two 87 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: and one, coming in coming off a hard fought loss 88 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: to Kansas City, so you think, okay, the Ravens will 89 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: bounce back at home. That did not happen. Nick Chubb 90 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: went off twenty carries on hundred and sixty five yards. 91 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,559 Speaker 1: You get an eighty eight yard touchdown where you beat 92 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: everybody in the house. Three rushing touchdowns. Hilliard added another 93 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: maker a field through for three forty two as Jarvis Landry. 94 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: He had one hundred and sixty seven yards receiving. Buddy 95 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: left the game with a concussion, and it looks like 96 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the protocol this week as Cleveland 97 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: gets ready for its next game. But Cleveland gets to 98 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: win forty to twenty five, they sort of squelch what's 99 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: going on in the you know, in the media, in 100 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: the hype because oh, by the way, now the Browns 101 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: and Ravens are tied, and at the season end today 102 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: would thank god it doesn't the Browns would win the 103 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: AFC North because they'd have the tiebreaker head to head 104 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: over the Ravens. Now, there's a lot of football to play. 105 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: The Browns seemingly back on track. They are two and two, 106 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: The Ravens are two and two in that division. The 107 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: Browns of Ravens are both two and two. The Bengals 108 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: and Steelers are o in three oh and three. Now, 109 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: somebody's gotta get a win to night, unless there's a tie, 110 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: but somebody's gotta get a win tonight, hopefully the Steelers, 111 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: because that's what I told people to pick. But both 112 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: teams two and two. So if you think the AFC 113 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: South is something, look at the AFC North. Both kind 114 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: of mediocre, if you will. At this point, AFC East 115 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: battle in Orchard Park, the Bills at three and oh, 116 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: Patriots three oh. The Patriots came right out of the game, 117 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: bang bang, thirteen nothing, got a block punt, scored off 118 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: the block punt, and they took an early thirteen to 119 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: nothing lead. But the Bills would fight back. They would 120 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: get in this one, and they had opportunities because of 121 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: Frank Gore seventeen carries one hundred and nine yards. He 122 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: kept them in the game. Josh Allen rushing touchdown made 123 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: it thirteen ten. Gotskowski's field go at the end of 124 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: the third quarter made sixteen ten. That would be it. 125 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: But the Bills would have opportunities and they just couldn't 126 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: put it in the end zone. When Matt Barkley came 127 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: on the field, Brady struggled eighteen and thirty nine four 128 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards in an interception. That's maybe 129 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: the roughest day I've seen Brady had in a long 130 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: long time. But play badly on the road and still 131 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: win in the Vision game. That's what the Patriots do. 132 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: Patriots four and oh. Chiefs are also four and oh. 133 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna get to them in a second. But the 134 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: Bills fall to three and one. And this is something 135 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: to keep in mind as I talk about the two 136 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: and two teams. The AFC, the Titans, the Browns, the 137 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: Ravens are already mentioned. Obviously, the Texans the only teams 138 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: with better records right now than those two and two 139 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: teams are the Bills of three and one, the Patriots 140 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: Chiefs at four and oh. That's it. Those only three teams, 141 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: So that moss pit of two and two teams got 142 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: to work itself out, and obviously it will. But only 143 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: three teams better. One of those I just mentioned, the 144 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes does it again. This was 145 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: a tremendous ball game, back and forth, back and fourth. 146 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: Lions take the lead, Chiefs take the lead. Lions take lead. 147 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: What a tremendous ball game on both sides. But in 148 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: the end Pat Mahomes gets them in position and then 149 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: Damian Williams takes it over to put them in front. 150 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: They get to win. Wayiams with two touchdowns and Sean 151 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: McCoy with one touchdown. Travis Kelsey catches seven for eighty five, 152 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: host those for three fifteen. Matt Stafford outstanding two ninety 153 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: one yards passing twenty one to thirty four, three touchdowns, 154 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: carrying out Johnson a one hundred and twenty five yards 155 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: in the ground. This should have been a game the 156 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:24,679 Speaker 1: Lions won and didn't. Chiefs go to four and oh, 157 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: Lions go to two, one and one. Great ball game. 158 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: Unfortunate ending because the NFC team didn't win. But what 159 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: a game there at Ford Field, Raiders and Colts in 160 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: the weird one of the day, probably minus the Panthers 161 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: and the Texans. I do think that some people who expected, yes, 162 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: the Panthers could go in and beat the Texans probably won't. 163 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how many people thought the Raiders were 164 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: gonna go into Indianapolis and beat the Colts. But the 165 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: Raiders didn't number on the Colts. Derek Carr didn't look 166 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: like he did a whole lot, but he was only 167 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: sacked once and he threw two touchdowns. They had a 168 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: reverse for Trevor Davis sixty yard little It looked like 169 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: something a wing T team would run rushing touchdowns, so 170 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: that accounted for sixty rushing yards, but the Raiders also 171 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: ran for one hundred and twenty eight yards on thirty 172 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: one carries. Outside of that, then they come up with 173 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: Eric Harris pick six that made it thirty one seventeen. 174 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: The Raiders would give one up. Derek Ebron mayke a 175 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: thirty one twenty four, but the Raiders held on at 176 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: the very end to get a win. And the Raiders, 177 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: just like the Texans, just like the Colts, like the 178 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: Ravens and the Browns are two and two for a 179 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: team will all at dysfunction in training camp with all 180 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: the Antonio Brown stuff. The Raiders are sitting two and two. 181 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you that's where they want to be, 182 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: but it's not a bad position to be. The news 183 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: to come out of this game, though, is not great 184 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: for the Raiders. Vontz Burfitt, all kinds of issues throughout 185 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: his career, has been suspended for the remainder of the 186 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen season for a hit that he placed on 187 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: Jack Doyle. It's the type of stuff that Vontes Berfect 188 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: has been doing throughout his career. He is appealing. He 189 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: had gone I guess the Raiders went straight to London, 190 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: so he was with the team went straight to London. 191 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: He has now flown home and he is appealing that decision, 192 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: even if it gets reduced, which I don't know that 193 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: it will, but he is appealing even if it gets reduced. 194 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: Maybe they cut at the ten game suspensions that twelve, 195 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: maybe cut in half to six. More than likely he 196 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: will miss the game here Energy Stadium when the Texans 197 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: take on the Raiders in a few weeks. That's down 198 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: the road. Raiders two and two and Rats big win 199 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: and thank you. I like seeing the Colts get beat 200 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: at home. The Chargers are also two and two. They 201 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: win thirty to ten. They beat the Dolphins. It's the 202 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: first time that the Chargers have one in Miami since 203 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one to forty one thirty eight legendary playoff 204 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 1: game from nineteen eighty one. My goodness, Philip Rivers outstanding 205 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: twenty four thirty Only he sacked once this week, but 206 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: he threw two touchdowns. Austin Eckler had one of those. 207 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: Troy made Pope had the other. Remember that name, Yeah, 208 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: he was in Texas camp a few years ago. Chargers 209 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: win thirty to ten and cover the spread. Danny Nimes 210 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: took the field for the New York Giants. How about 211 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: the Giants two and two? Now after twenty four to 212 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: three win over the Redskins, and things are not good 213 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: in Redskin Land case Keenum replaced in this game. Dwayne 214 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: Haskins came on and then he threw three interceptions. Now, 215 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones didn't have a great day. He did throw 216 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: one touchdown, but he also had two interceptions himself. Mwayne 217 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: Gallman had sixty three yards rushing. He also had a 218 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: receiving touchdown the Giants. The gi Men also get golden 219 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: tape back this week, so he was in the facility 220 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: to day after four game suspension, so he comes back 221 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: into the fold, as does miss this earlier Titans Taylor Luan. 222 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a big one for those guys. The 223 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: Seahawks after a tough loss of the Saints last week, 224 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: they go to Arizona and take on the Cardinals. They 225 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: have ViOn Clowney pick six. Seahawks score twenty in the 226 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: first half and that was it. Cardinals offense abysmal, could 227 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: not get it going. Kyler Murray through for two forty one, 228 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: had an interception, sacked four times. Russell Wilson the opposite 229 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: direction twenty two twenty eight two hundred four yards a touchdown, 230 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: Chris Carson the main difference twenty two carries one hundred 231 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: four yards. Seahawks get a win. They go to three 232 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: and one, one of the rare three and one teams 233 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: in the league as they get a twenty seven to 234 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: ten win and get ready for Thursday night against the 235 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: La Rams. Now, the Rams were undefeated. The Rams are 236 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: no longer undefeated after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Tampa 237 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers open a can of offensive whoop you know 238 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: what on them. Jamis Wentz went off three hundred eighty 239 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: five yards, passing four touchdowns. Chris Godwin twelve for one 240 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: seventy two and two touchdowns. Mike Evans had a sixty 241 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown. Ronald Jones back in his college his 242 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: college stadium, and there the Kyle cum hanning played for 243 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: USC had seventy yards and rushing touchdown. Payton Barbar had 244 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: and rushing touchdown, Holy Smokes and the Rams ran for 245 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: twenty eight total yards. Jared Goff throws for five hundred 246 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: and seventeen yards in a losing effort. Oh by the way, 247 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: he had three interceptions. A rough day for the Rams 248 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: as they go from undefeated to three and one tied 249 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: with the Seahawks, and now those two will battle on 250 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: Thursday night. Buccaneers moved to two and two in the 251 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: AFC South. The Bears meet the Vikings. The news in 252 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: this one was Mitchell Trubisca to go out with his 253 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: shoulder injury in the first half. Chase Daniel came in, 254 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: did a pretty solid job. Didn't do a ton, but 255 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: he wasn't bad. Twenty two of thirty did row a 256 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: touchdown and threw four hundred and ninety five yards. But 257 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: this was a bear about the Bears defense. Clil Mack 258 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: is just dominant. Every week he steps on the field, 259 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: a sack and a half, quarterback hit, forced to fumble. 260 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: He's an absolute dude, just destroying guys. Ray Robertson Harris 261 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: also had a sack and a half and Williams had 262 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: two sacks. The Bears had six sacks on the day. 263 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: That defense, no matter who's calling the plays, snout Chuck Pagano, 264 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: but that defense is lights out. The Jags come from behind, 265 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: who beat the Broncos twenty six twenty four. Uncle Rico 266 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: doing it again for the Jags late in this one. 267 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: Through for only two hundred and thirteen, but a big 268 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: thirty two yard completion in d Westbrook on the final 269 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: drive set up a game winning field goal for Josh Lambo. 270 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: But the story and this one was Leonard Fournett. Twenty 271 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: nine carries two hundred and twenty five yards, had an 272 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: eighty one yard run that got them in position to 273 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: take the lead. Jags win twenty six twenty four they 274 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: are two and two and the Vic Fangio led Broncos 275 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: row and four. And in the game of the night, well, 276 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: I guess it was the only game at night the 277 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys and Saints. The Saints get a twelve ten win, 278 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: did not score touchdown, no touchdown four Will Lutt's fuel 279 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: goals in this one in what a physical game. I 280 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: saw this multiple times on Twitter, and I've seen both 281 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: these teams up close this year. Not surprising. These teams 282 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: beat the absolute you know, one out of each other, 283 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: and the Saints did it just a little bit better. 284 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: Twelfth ten. Saints get to win Saints three and one, 285 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys also three and one. So there you go.

Welcome back to the 295 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: show Texans All Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I 296 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: am John Harris, your host, as I am each every Monday, Wednesday, 297 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: Friday and on a bunch of other shows as well, etc. Etc. 298 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: All right, it's time to catch up with the General 299 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: Sean McClaine, who had some thoughts about what he saw 300 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: yesterday and some things going on around the NFL. How 301 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: did you see that one? And how did you see yesterday? 302 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: Yesterday was such a disappointing lass, such a downer after 303 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: the euphoria of the come from behind victory. With the 304 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: Chargers down seventeen seven in that game, I thought the 305 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: Texans would bounce back in their second half and win. 306 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: This when I thought they win, and I picked on 307 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: the win by seven, Carolina was beatable with Kyle Allen 308 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: Force three turnovers, and it just was really disappointing loss. Now, 309 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: only especially when you consider had they one they beat 310 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: three and one and alone in first place in AFC South. 311 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: As it is now, it's a four way tie for 312 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: first or a poor away tie for last, and they've 313 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: got to beat Atlanta before they go on the road 314 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: to play those two big rug games. Defense played well 315 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: enough to win, special teams that played well enough to win, 316 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: but the offense was just awful. John, Was there a 317 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: turning point in this game at all? I mean, it 318 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: feels like in a one possession game, in a one 319 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: score game, that there should be a turning point. I 320 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: kind of have one in mind. But did you have 321 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: a turning point in this game where you felt like, 322 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: oh man, this one's not going their way today. The 323 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: only time I thought that he was after JJ Watt 324 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: missed the sack on Kyle Allen. JJ tried to take 325 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: all the blame. Well, he can't take the blame. It 326 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't ever come to that. But when Allan did that 327 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: miraculous job of escaping the sack and completed the ball 328 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: down the field that led to the field goal, I thought, then, well, 329 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to score touchdown. The offense has been specifically, 330 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: the passing game has been just terrible. That might have 331 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: been watching worst game. You know, he seemed to be 332 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: all he was always under pressure. It felt like he 333 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: was under pressure. Let's give Caroline some credit. They did 334 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: a great job of keeping the receivers in front of 335 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: the coverage and tackling them. DeAndre Hopkins, will Fuller, Jordan 336 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: Aikins all had average fewer than nine yards to catch, 337 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: so teams are playing them differently. And I just I 338 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: kept thinking that Texans to pull it out and then 339 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: that last to get away from the sack, complete the pass, 340 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: set up the last field goal, knowing that a field 341 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: goal wouldn't tie and force over time. That's what I 342 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: thought was to keep play interesting. John McClean joining us, 343 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: you mentioned two and two. Either you're tied for first 344 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: or tied for last. It's a weird situation. What about Tennessee, John, 345 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: what happened to them? And what is going on in 346 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: Atlanta with that team? The Titans had lost two in 347 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: a row, giving up seventeen sacks. Marcus Mariota was under fire, 348 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: fans and media clamoring for him to be benched in 349 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: place Ryan Tannehill. Mike Brabel stuck with him. He had 350 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: three touchdown passes in the first half and he didn't 351 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: get sacks. Amazing how that works, isn't it? Quarterbacks get 352 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: protected and have time to throw. It's kind of thing 353 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: we don't know here and Mark in. Their defense played great. 354 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: They sacked Matt Ryan five times. Kevin Matt Ryan without 355 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass for the first time in eighteen games, 356 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: and he threw for three or ninety seven yards, but 357 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: it didn't hurt him. So the Titans go to Atlanta 358 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: went by fourteen, and everybody there has been talking about 359 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: dan Quinn getting fired. They had to lose since they 360 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: were in the Super Bowl. Here. The Falcons have been 361 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: a huge appointment and it's hard to believe with the 362 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: passing game they have. The running game is not any good. 363 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: And even though Christian McCaffrey had good yard it's not 364 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: didn't get one hundred yards, but he had to get 365 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: twenty seven carries and he averaged three point four. Carrie 366 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: hurt him more receiving it catching did Atlanta. I don't 367 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: think he'll run on the Texans. It'll come down to 368 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: man Ryan throwing the ball. And the Titans did a 369 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: great job on Julio Jones. Yeah, I wish we could 370 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: do a good job on Julio Jones. I think is 371 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: one are the ways to at least try it's slow 372 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: him down. Joe I said this to Mark earlier. We 373 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: are living in a world where about six inches separates 374 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: the Jaguars and Gardner Minshew from being three and one 375 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: in the top of the division, with the Texans at 376 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: that point being one in three, and he got the 377 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: bottom of the division. They go into Denver yesterday and 378 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: show kind of a few back, kind of a different layer. 379 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: They were down by two touchdowns, came all the way back, 380 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: gave up the lead, they kicked the game winning field goal. 381 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: What do you make with What do you make of 382 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: the Jags? But Gardner Minshew at quarterback and what they're doing, 383 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: and then when Foles is ready to come back, all 384 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: things staying pretty similar going for the next few games. 385 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: What do you think they do? I was watching that 386 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: game in the press box while I was typing. I 387 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: had it on the TV over me, and I was 388 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: keeping it out on it and at one point I said, well, 389 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: Jacksonville's in last place and we're gonna have a three 390 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: way time for first and that's what I wrote. And 391 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: then I watched the end. I asked, Okay, where did 392 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: I print that. I got to go back and change that. 393 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: He was so cool. He made some big plays. Leonard 394 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: Fernett had his best game set a career high with rushing. 395 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: He had a long run for the second time in 396 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: two weeks. Defense played well. It's first time Denver Is 397 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 1: blown a fourteen point lead and Denver is since two 398 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: thousand and six, and they're owing four of course. But 399 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: Minshew is a cool customer. People love him, you know. 400 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: The Mississippi mustache is what he was called in college. 401 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: And I think for Nat was calling the jocks trap 402 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: because of his stretching in a jock in the dressing 403 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: room before the game. And their defense played well without 404 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. First game, Ramsey's missed some mysterious ailment like 405 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: wanted to be traded. You know, he's quit on his team, 406 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: that's the bottom line. And I thought they'd go down 407 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: in the tubes with all that controversy going wrong, but 408 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: Doug Moron did a great job. If Falls comes back 409 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: and they've been and they're in first place, I don't 410 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: see him getting his job back. And Falls is a 411 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: good teammate who will understand. But I just can't imagine 412 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: they're going to keep winning these close games. I know 413 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: that the AC South is not exactly the focus of 414 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: the national media, but it is interesting to me because 415 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: when you look at two years ago the Titans and 416 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: the Jacks both going to the playoffs and both winning games, 417 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: and the Jacks getting all the way to the AFC 418 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: Championship Game. Then last year it was a flip, the 419 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: Colts and the Texans go to the playoffs, and this 420 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: year everybody's two and two after four games, and nobody 421 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: can really safely predict what's going to happen at this point. 422 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: The Colts losing to the Raiders, John that was a 423 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: bit of a surprise there at home. Colts are just 424 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: like the Texans. They blew a chance to take control 425 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: of the vision against the losing team at all. Derek 426 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: Carr through two touchdown passes, Kobe Brisette through three. He 427 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: brought them within seven points twice in the fourth quarter. 428 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: Their defense count couldn't control it. Darius Leonard and Milly 429 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: Cooker didn't play. They lost Marlon Mack at halftime. He 430 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: didn't come back, but they were able to stay close. 431 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: But there's just inexcusable to losing home to the Raiders, 432 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: who were bad. But they did, and it just shows 433 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: any given Sunday dot dot dot Now this time last year, 434 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: the Texans were one and three on their way to 435 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: eleven and five, and so, as we always say, is 436 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: not what you do in September and October, but November December. 437 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: But the thing that was troublesome yesterday about the Texans 438 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: was Deshaun Watson in the passing game. It just did 439 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: not work. And had he hit the long one of 440 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: the long passes to DeAndre Hopkins are will Fuller lad 441 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: won the game and hopefully got out of the system. 442 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: Three and a half hours after the game, Aaron Wilson, 443 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: now were up in the press box and we're working 444 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: and one of the Jacksonville writers comes over and says, hey, uh, 445 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: isn't that Watson down on the field. Got then yeah, 446 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: and yes Carolina writers, And I'm like, it can't be him. 447 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: So we get out the binoculars, looked down and Aaron says, 448 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: that's him with Quincy Avery, his quarterback guru from Atlanta. 449 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: Three and a half hours after the game, they were 450 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: worked working out his field is quarterback guru. And I 451 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: thought that said a whole lot about to Shaun Watt, 452 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: so that he would do that and hopefully it'll pay 453 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: off big time for him against the Palcons. Yeah, going 454 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: against his hometown team, relatively speaking, he's from near the 455 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: Atlanta area. John Yesterday, there seemingly were some shocking results, Like, wow, 456 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: I didn't see that happening. Someone would say, maybe the 457 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: Texans Panthers was that way, But if you look at 458 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: the Panthers and the talent they have, and you know 459 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen playing the way that he did, maybe it's 460 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: not that surprising. But how on God's Green Earth to 461 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers go to LA and put up 462 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: a fifty bird on the Rams. I'm like, I'm still 463 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: shaking my head how that happened, especially after they just 464 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: blew a game with bad coaching decisions the week before 465 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: against the Giants. All the complaints about the Rams through 466 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: their unbeaten start was about their offense and Wake Philip. 467 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: I wonder when's the last time Away Phillips coach defense 468 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: gave up that many points. It's one of the headscratchers. 469 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that makes the National 470 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: Football League so interesting is that it can happen. You know, 471 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: I thought New England would beat that out of Buffalo, 472 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: and Buffalo played as well as it can play defensively 473 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: and shut down Tom Brady like he won't be shut 474 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: out the Colts two victories in a row, like the 475 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,719 Speaker 1: Texans losing it home to the Raiders. Of all teams. 476 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: And you know, I said before the season, before Andrew 477 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: Luck retired, if the Texans could be four and four 478 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: at the midway point, five and three would be great. 479 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: Four and four would be palpable considering the second half schedule, 480 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: the Murders row quarterbacks, and right now I'm thinking, okay, 481 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: even if Bacon Falcon is losing next two, then they 482 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: got the Raiders coming in and all of a sudden, 483 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: the Raiders are capable of winning on the road, and 484 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: which is very surprising, but none more so than the 485 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: Buccaneers big time bounced back after rotten performance against the Giants. 486 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: Just shows you get happen to any team any week 487 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: except by amy. I think the one word that has 488 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: been used most to describe yesterday's action not only an 489 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: an Energy Stadium but throughout the NFL is surprising. I 490 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: think there were a ton of surprises yesterday. The Raiders 491 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: going to be in the Colts, the Panthers coming in 492 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: here getting a six point win against the Texans, the 493 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: Buccaneers beating the Rams. I think there were just a 494 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: ton of surprises, the Browns going to Baltimore and doing 495 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: what they did to Baltimore, winning by fifteen. I just 496 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: think maybe not always surprising and won. I don't know 497 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: if it's surprising that the Browns won, but they won't 498 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: and put up forty on the Ravens after looking so 499 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: bad against the Rams on Sunday night. So the word surprising, 500 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: and John used it a few times. So that pretty 501 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: much described yesterday in the NFL. Well, tonight we'll find out. 502 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: It's two on three teams. I don't know if the 503 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: Steelers can bounce back. The Bengals still miss aj Green, 504 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: don't have a ton of talent. So look, it's still 505 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: Monday night football. I'm gonna watch, and you're probably gonna watch. 506 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: Two may not listen. Maybe you can listen to your 507 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: own music and just watch the game, but you will watch. 508 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: It's Monday that football, and you should watch. And you 509 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: only get sixteen to seventeen these a year, right, so 510 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: go ahead and watch. We get back. We'll talk to 511 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: our buddy. Andre Ware had some thoughts about the game 512 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: yesterday and talked a little cod football with him as well. 513 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: Welcome Back. One final segment of Texas All Access from 514 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: the Honday Texans Radio studio. I am your host, John 515 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: Harris Football, anils so silent reporter for your Houston Texans, 516 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: taking you right up to seven o'clock in Westwood One's 517 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: coverage of Bengals the Steelers ad Hines Field. It's the 518 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: first Monday night football home game for the Pittsburgh Stealers 519 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: since twenty fourteen. Who did they play that night? The 520 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. And that's always a night I remember for 521 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: a lot of different reasons. I love that trip to Pittsburgh. 522 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: I love Pittsburgh. It was a great trip. Didn't love 523 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: the game. That was one we gave away a bunch 524 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: of turnovers at the beginning of the game. You remember that. 525 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: But I also remember that because that was the first 526 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: night I was sort of introduced to Antonio Brown doing 527 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: his own thing. He showed up about an hour before 528 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: the game. And I'll never forget our video guys, Tie 529 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: and Tim, they were talking before the game and they're like, 530 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: who's that. I was like, that's Antonio Brown. Like he 531 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: just showed up. What do you mean? We were in 532 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: the hallway. We just saw him, like wow, And then 533 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: he bawled out like, that's why he got away with everything. 534 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: He just did his thing and then caught ten passes. 535 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: Game was like, I'll just keep doing my thing. And 536 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: obviously it came to a head this summer, but I 537 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: always remember that night for a number of different reasons, 538 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: but that was one that started stood out. That was 539 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: the last time the Pittsburgh Stealers played a Monday night 540 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: football home game, and they will tonight against the Cincinnati Bengals, 541 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: both teams looking for win number one on the year. Now, 542 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: this morning, we caught up with our good friend Andre 543 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: ware Dre. What do you think? John McClane shared with us, 544 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: Dad Watson was working out three and a half hours 545 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: after the game on the field, and he's desperate. I 546 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: don't want to say desperate, but he's obviously eager to 547 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: bounce out of whatever's going on. He says he needs 548 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: to take his game up to another level, and he 549 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: knows he has his hometown team sort of, the Atlanta 550 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: Falcons coming in here on Sunday. What does he need 551 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: to do to improved? Right? Yeah? I mean it's impression 552 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: that after a game like that that he's right back 553 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: on the field. And I don't mean right back because 554 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: it was it was kids' day and so there were 555 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: a lot of kids on the field, so he actually 556 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: had to wait it out for the field to clear 557 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: itself before he could go back out and and start 558 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: to work on some fundamental stuff. So that that lets 559 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: me know that he's invested, he's he cares about the 560 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: team's success. All of it's not it's not just a show, 561 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: but a genuine concern for fundamentals that in pressure type situations, 562 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: UH kind of carry you through. So I think Deshaun 563 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: is going to be just fun. Drey yesterday pass protection 564 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: six sacks and obviously said, well the old line of 565 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: six sacks right overall, And I went back and watched 566 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: a lot of the game from yesterday, it felt like 567 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: at times the past protection was actually pretty good. What 568 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: did you think overall up front of the past protection? No, 569 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: Zach Fulton, yes stakes, he found out he had a 570 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: back issue and they went with Greg Matts and that 571 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: was a little bit of an issue early on in 572 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: the game, but later it turned out okay. But what 573 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: do you think overall the offensive line play yesterday? I 574 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: thought the protection was it was decent yesterday to a 575 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: point where there were times that and Deshaun's guilty of this, 576 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: and I think he'll be the first to tell you 577 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: that he's looking for something big rather than just taking 578 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: a check down, especially on early downs and advancing the 579 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,479 Speaker 1: ball and moving the chains that way. So I wouldn't 580 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: put a whole lot of it. I think it's about 581 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: fifty fifty where there were some sacks given up by 582 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: the offensive line as well as Deshaun may be holding 583 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: it a little bit too much. And Andrey. We talked 584 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: about Kyle Allen yesterday. He played well, But when I 585 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: look at sixteen points on the board at the end 586 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: of the day, I'm thinking, well, the defense basically did 587 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: their job. I know McCaffrey had a good day yards 588 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: per carry, it wasn't crazy, he caught the ball well, 589 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: and they did make some key plays down the stretch. 590 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: But what do you think about the defensive performance yesterday 591 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: as a whole. You know, one of the one of 592 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: the things I always ask coaches uh in meeting time 593 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: and production meetings and things of that sort, is whether 594 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: a certain player is going to get a certain amount 595 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: of touches or is there in touch count? And not 596 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: once in all of my years of football as anyone 597 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: ever said upwards of thirty you know, forty forty touch 598 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: close to forty touches, uh for for Christian McCaffrey yesterday. 599 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: And I don't know that, um he can go sixteen 600 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: games carrying the load that much, but he did it 601 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: yesterday and in one of the football game and on 602 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: the other side of the flip side of it with 603 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen. We talked about it in the pregame and 604 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: the first part of the game once and kicked up. 605 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: He is a competitive, competitive dude that was not going 606 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: to quit and as long as that game was in reach, 607 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: he was going to compete. Three turnovers, three fumbles, all 608 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: his fault or we made, with the exception of maybe 609 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: the last one that JJ was able to poke out, 610 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: but he was still competing at the end, and none 611 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: other than that that Houdini type movie pulled a complete 612 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: along pass down to Samuel's to give him another field 613 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: goal opportunity. But you know you gotta take you gotta 614 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: give credit where credits due. I thought the young man 615 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: played a sale off and under a lot of dress 616 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: yesterday and then stood up at the end of it 617 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: and basically brought his team a victory. On the road. 618 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: You know, It's interesting is if you would have said 619 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: to me in twenty fourteen that Kyle Allen is going 620 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: to have this kind of start to his NFL career. 621 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: Muta told me that during his true freshman year at 622 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: a M and I've been well, yeah, of course, number 623 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: one quarterback in the country. And let me look at 624 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: him at a M right now, he's yeah, I could 625 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: see this happening. But then he takes this winding path 626 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: to get to the NFL, and it's very similar to 627 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: what Gardner Mitschew did. I mean, Mitshe's path is a 628 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: little bit more securitist, whatever you say it, Dre. It's 629 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,280 Speaker 1: weird now that guys that have gotten in the NFL, 630 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, they were transfers. Gardner mitsche went 631 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: through like four different schools. Kyle Allan couldn't find a 632 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: starting job, really to solidify a starting job, and yet 633 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: these guys have all come into the NFL and do 634 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: really good things. What do you think that says about 635 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 1: the state of quarterback play or what you need to 636 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: be as a quarterback to be successful in the NFL nowadays. 637 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: I'll I tell to me, Johnny is that what I 638 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: kind of already know. And it's about timing and about 639 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: the right place and the right sit And that's exactly 640 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: and all it is about about quarterback. There have been 641 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: some some damn good ones that have gone places and 642 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: coaches have screwed them up that you thought were going 643 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: to be pro bowlers for years and it just wasn't 644 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: the right fit. The timing wasn't right, the system, whatever 645 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: it was, it just didn't work out. And then you 646 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: have some that are unlikely that get to sit for 647 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 1: a while, they get to learn. The right coaching staff 648 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,479 Speaker 1: comes in that's stable, that really knows what they're doing, 649 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 1: and then that guy takes off and it's unlikely because 650 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: of all that you just explained about a guy like 651 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, But within him, you know, he never doubted himself. 652 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: And I think that's and Gardner Minshew as well. He 653 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: can make the case for him it never doubted themselves. 654 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: Minshew goes in the sixth round, Kyle Allen goes undrafted, 655 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,479 Speaker 1: but he's working his tail off and all he looks 656 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: for is an opportunity for somebody to have a little 657 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: bit of trust in him. And it's the right place 658 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: and the right fit and it can continue to happen. 659 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a state. I actually think the 660 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: state of the quarterback in the NFL is in great 661 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: hands right now. A lot of good young ones across 662 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: the league that we'll talk about for the next ten 663 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 1: or ten or twelve years. Well half the league. I 664 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: just counted sixteen teams have quarterbacks in their fourth year 665 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,919 Speaker 1: or less, star quarterbacks in their fourth year or less. 666 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 1: The way it's working out right now. When you look 667 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: at what's happening in Carolina with Kyle Allen, I'll include 668 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: that in Minshew in Jacksonville. So and Clint Stirner was 669 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: talking about on the postgame show. You've talked about this 670 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: for a while, Dre. They started a young age with 671 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 1: the seven on seven maybe even flag footballs, little kids whatever. 672 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: They're throwing the ball coming out of the womb, and 673 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: that really helps adjust. And also the NFL using some 674 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: of these college things like the spread offense elements or whatever. Right. Yeah, 675 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: and you know, you look across the NFL. I'm not 676 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: sure what the number is, but guys that either are 677 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: from Texas or have played in Texas, they're just sprinkled 678 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 1: all over. I think it's more than a third of 679 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: the league that are starting quarterbacks right now that have 680 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,720 Speaker 1: either played in Texas or have gone to high school 681 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: in some sort, But it is there was a shift 682 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: years ago that the state of Texas went from three 683 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,479 Speaker 1: yards in a cloud of dust too, we're gonna open 684 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: things up, and it became a lot of you know, 685 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. You're reading bridges at a younger 686 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: age and the seven on seven competitions you have to 687 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: and so that that carries over once you learn to 688 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: read defenses and you learn where the weaknesses are in 689 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: zone coverage, where the balls should go, h certain throws 690 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,760 Speaker 1: that have to be made as a receiver is coming 691 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: open like a tight end in the middle of the 692 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 1: field between the linebacker and the safety. And you can 693 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: start to rep those things and understand it, you're well 694 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: on your way. And I think Kyle Allen was a 695 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 1: big example of exactly that in yesterday's ball game because 696 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: he made he made some great throws at times when 697 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: they really needed to make them. Well, while we're on 698 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: the subject, and we kind of weave college football into 699 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: the conversation here, Drake, what's with all the lopsided, weird scores. 700 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm seeing some weird games and SMU going 701 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,240 Speaker 1: to South Florida with the big score and other stuff, 702 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: and he's good. Bro. I'm not denying it, but it 703 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: was like, you know, you looked at the score. You're like, 704 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 1: is that Alabama visiting there today? No, it's said you now, 705 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: SMU is Sonny Dikes has done a heck of a 706 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: job in a very short period of time. And he's 707 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,720 Speaker 1: got a quarterback Uh that really fits what he wanted 708 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: wants to do and they want to he's he's got 709 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: an air raid background. Uh, they've spread it out in 710 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: same Michelle, who transferred him from Texas, seems to be 711 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: the perfect fit for him. Another example Johnny of perfect 712 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: fit to a guy going to a coast that that 713 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: that trust him right there. That's that's the prime example 714 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: of it. And uh, you know, the American has got 715 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: some teams in it that can that can score, and 716 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: SMU happens to be one. Uh. They're undefeated, riding high 717 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 1: and and uh, I think hats off to to Sonny Dikes. 718 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: I had him last year. I think they were on 719 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: the road against uh maybe UCF. I had him twice 720 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: last year and they weren't this this type of team, 721 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: but he found his guy and uh and really opened 722 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,879 Speaker 1: up the system. And now that they're gonna be tough 723 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,240 Speaker 1: to be Uh. Nebraska that that game and lopsided against 724 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: Hile State. I kind of knew I saw that one coming. 725 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: I said on the air Saturday, they were making a 726 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: big deal of this game, like this is going to 727 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: be a blowout, of of just outstanding proportion, so to speak, 728 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: where I don't think Nebraska has a chance in lo 729 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 1: and behold. They were only able to score once in 730 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 1: that game. Ohio State looks dominant. They were promoting that 731 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: game like it was a one versus two matchup, and 732 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm thinking I thought the same kind of thing. Yeah, 733 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: you look at that game. I thought the same thing. 734 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: I think, Uh, Michigan Iowa. Iowa was a good football 735 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,919 Speaker 1: team that I got a chance to see last week. 736 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,439 Speaker 1: They are a well coached, well a good football team 737 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: with a good quarterback in Nate Stanley. I think they 738 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 1: go to Michigan in the Big House next week and 739 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: they take care of business. Michigan's another team that every 740 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: year they start the season they're in the top ten. 741 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: It's overblown. I don't know that that program's ever coming back. Yeah, 742 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. By the way, we just got 743 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: a text from our fellow SMU Alum. I knew that 744 00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: was good. It was like sending out the bat signal 745 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: to majority. I knew it was coming. He's like, there's 746 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,919 Speaker 1: nothing weird about us of your domination, right uh? Drey. 747 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: Back to the NFL with the AMC South, in particular, 748 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: all four teams tied at two and two. Jags get 749 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: it come from you hadn't win against Denver, the Titans 750 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: go on the road and beat the Falcons, and the 751 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: two teams playing at home against teams that they were favored, 752 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: the Texans and Colts, both lose. I can't make out 753 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: what this division is yet. What do you think about 754 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 1: the way these four teams are playing all at two 755 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: and two? Yeah, and you could you could look at it, Johnny. 756 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: There's some games in there there were won by you know, 757 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 1: a couple of teams that you don't think they should 758 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: have won, and then there were some games that were 759 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: lost that should have been one. It just tells me 760 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: it's anybody's division. And you would look at it and think, well, 761 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: the Texans have more talent than anybody. They would run 762 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: away with a division. That's just not the case right now. 763 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: Ye who Isn't that said that your records what you what, 764 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: who you are or whatever that is. You are what 765 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: your record is, and until you start to take care 766 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: of business. Jack Party taught me a long time ago 767 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: that successful seasons are are made with winning streaks, and 768 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: you just got to get on one of these teams. 769 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 1: It's gonna get on a winning streak and have the 770 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 1: the the upper hand on the other in the division 771 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: or the others within the division. And until that happens, 772 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,760 Speaker 1: you're going to see a cluster of teams. But somebody 773 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: is going to put together a string of a string 774 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 1: of wins and start to march away with this division 775 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: because it's it's yes, it's competitive, but I think it's 776 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 1: there to be taken. And uh and somebody, whether it's 777 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: the Texans, uh they that's that's who I would favor 778 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 1: in this in this scenario, they just got to do it. 779 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: What do you have on ESPN this week? I am 780 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 1: got a Thursday night or so I'm right back out 781 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: tomorrow night. Georgia southerns and South in Alabama. Uh, not 782 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: a not a great matchup, but it probably will be 783 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: a competitive game. But it does give me this, It 784 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: gives me the weekend. So day Saturday, Sunday after a 785 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 1: Thursday night, UH will talk to the mobile to do 786 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: that one. And I'm right back home, so looking forward 787 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: to it. Wait, but quick note here, you'll take competitive 788 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: game over the Marquee matchup blowout, not market matchup, but 789 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: like Alabama versus whatever, every single week I would take 790 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 1: a competitive game. Ain't And I talked to the higher 791 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: ups about that. It's like, I don't want to see 792 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: Alabama go play house in state or somebody like that. 793 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 1: Give me, give me the competitive game. So this is 794 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: my choice and they give it to me. Sometimes I 795 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: always make that that that that that choice. Yeah, it'll 796 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: be weird for Dre to sit on Saturday and actually 797 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,959 Speaker 1: watch college football day long without being in a booth 798 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: that day.
