1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: In the Lab, a Texans podcast that takes a different 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: look at things. Drew Doherty and John Harris have their 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: lab coats and goggles on and the Bunsen burners burning. 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: Here's Drew hey man, this could be the trip. This 5 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 2: could be the trip John to New England. We thought 6 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen it was gonna finally happen. We thought 7 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: then that the Texans were gonna get their first win 8 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: in Foxburg because Tom Brady was suspended, his backup Jimmy 9 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: Garoppolo was hurt. So rookie quarterback against that defense with 10 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 2: Clowney and everybody else like pretty easy, right? 11 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: Wrong? 12 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 3: It was maybe the worst defeat. 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 4: It was rough. 14 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the stakes weren't as high because it 15 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: wasn't in the playoffs. You could argue the Monday night 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: football game in twenty twelve was worse because the air 17 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: got popped from the balloon. But man margin at victory 18 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: and you didn't even score, you got shut out. But 19 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: now John, another rookie quarterback, awaits and there is no 20 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick on the opposing sideline. Obviously there's no Tom 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: Brady's He's up in a broadcast booth somewhere. 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 3: This weekend, and this is a struggling Patriots. 23 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: This is just a football team. This isn't the Patriots anymore. 24 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: This is a football team. 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 3: Right, It's not the Patriots. 26 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 2: Now, wild things can happen. We'll get into a little 27 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: bit of wildness later. But it's you and it's me, 28 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 2: and it's you watch and listening. Thank you you, We 29 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: love you. 30 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 3: What what's it? This seems so weird? 31 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 5: Man? 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: After all those like House of Horror trips over the years, 33 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: and then in seventeen you get really close and your 34 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: quarterback walks off the field for the final time and 35 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: he's got the lead in his back pocket, and then 36 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: you're within a score late the next year, but you 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: don't pull it off. 38 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: This feels like is it feels. 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: Like it's I mean, you sh beat these guys, your 40 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: touchdown favorite against these guys as Las Vegas does. Does 41 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: this feel weird to you someone who went to Brown 42 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 2: very close by for college, who knows the area and 43 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: knows the history of this back and forth over the 44 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: last decade and change. 45 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of odd in a sense. 46 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 5: I mean, I thought it was kind of fitting that 47 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 5: we were going to play Jacobe Brissett because it was 48 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 5: in that twenty sixteen game that Jakobe played as a rookie, 49 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 5: and he's outstanding, just did a really nice job against US. 50 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 5: I mean, that is a that's a House of Horrors game. 51 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 5: That game is just brutal for many many reasons. I 52 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 5: mean the travel to the game was a nightmare. 53 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: Giden Wam, which is like an hour away. 54 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 5: Then if you remember, right after that game we found 55 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 5: out JJ Watt was done for the season. It was 56 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 5: like the aftermath of that game was like holy cow. 57 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 4: I mean it was rough. So remember it. 58 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 5: For that twenty seventeen I thought, I thought we had them, 59 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 5: but I also knew it's Tom Brady in THEO their side. 60 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 4: So so back then, the you. 61 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 5: Know whoever was on you know PR team down on 62 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 5: the sideline would come find me and say, hey, who 63 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 5: do you want to interview kind of getting prepped for 64 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 5: the game. 65 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 4: Who do you want to interview? 66 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 5: After the game, And I was like, I can't talk 67 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 5: about it, man, because if I if I commit to somebody, 68 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 5: then you know they're. 69 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 4: Going to come back and win. 70 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 5: Just kind of superstitious, and both they came back to 71 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 5: win as Tom Brady. 72 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: Well hold on, let me hold on here. 73 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 2: It's another reason you're my brother, because here at home 74 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 2: games at Energy Stadium, when the Texans win, I interview 75 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 2: a player on the field right after. 76 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: If they lose, I don't, right. 77 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: And every single week, no matter what my I have 78 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: a fantastic field producer that's kind of alongside me. Helps 79 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: me out with some things. Yeah, Carry does an awesome job. 80 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: And every single week, no matter what she's like, who 81 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: are going to interview? You know, like I don't. I 82 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: don't want to talk unless it's like a two score 83 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: three and we haven't had that lately to it. 84 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, but that happened in twenty seven. Yeah, and finally 85 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 5: I had to tell him someone. I was like, I 86 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 5: want Clowney, And I swear to God as soon as 87 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 5: I said I want clown because Clowny had a great 88 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 5: game that day. Yeah, all of a sudden, Tom Brady 89 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 5: worked magic. I mean there was a sack and a 90 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 5: strip fumble we couldn't get on it. Then there was 91 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 5: you know, a Mendola catch, and then of course Brandon 92 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 5: Cooks put the final nail on a coffin. It was like, 93 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 5: oh God. In the aftermath of that. 94 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: There was a there was a drop interception late too. 95 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 5: You're right, And there was a Monday discussion in this studio 96 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 5: amongst me, Mark and somebody that won't be named because 97 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 5: it was our fault. 98 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 4: We lost some for some reason either way. 99 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 5: And then eighteen we wanted I mean we had a 100 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 5: three now the first drive and then the and then 101 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 5: we fumbled on the first play and we were trudging uphill. 102 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,559 Speaker 5: So it's been six years since we played regular season 103 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 5: game up there, and that's that's good in a sense, 104 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 5: because it is it's a long trip. We talked with 105 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 5: both Nick and Demico about this during the week and 106 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,559 Speaker 5: they they've acknowledged that they know it. It's the longest flight, 107 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 5: it's the hardest to get to. We're gonna standing Providence, 108 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 5: which I love. It's, you know, my my my second home. 109 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 5: I love Providence, Uh, you know, live there for four years, 110 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 5: going to college there. I just loved it. I mean, 111 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 5: it's such a beautiful neighborhood. I hate the fact that 112 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 5: Brown is playing Rhode Island in the at noon that day, 113 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 5: so I'm to go. I thought about going up early, 114 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 5: but I couldn't swing it. So anyhow, there's a lot 115 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 5: of good about it. But I think playing at noon 116 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 5: is probably a little bit better because and I think 117 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 5: coming from Providence, we played that game on Thursday night, 118 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 5: so we were traveling on a Thursday night in Boston traffic. 119 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 4: We were on the rush hour for ninety minutes. 120 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 5: And that's that's unheard of because we've got a police 121 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 5: escort and all that kind of stuff to get us 122 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 5: the game. 123 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: You can get TV perspective, you couldn't move anybody John's 124 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: talking about. You're talking about ninety minutes to get to 125 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 2: a game there in. 126 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 4: New England from the hotel to the stadium. 127 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: When you play in Indianapolis, it's about a three minute 128 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: bus ride. 129 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 3: Is that that? 130 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 4: Yeah? 131 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: If that? 132 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: When you play in Baltimore, same thing, Cincinnati, same thing. 133 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 5: Tennessee can be like five minutes for downtown, which usually 134 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 5: are so quick trip. Yep, was an hour and a 135 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 5: half because we have police es score. But you know, 136 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 5: a new in game is a little bit more manageable. 137 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 4: I think. 138 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 5: So I know the Texas will you know, they'll definitely 139 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 5: be planning ahead. Look, they know if anybody knows, Nick 140 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 5: Casario knows, he knows what all those teams have been through. 141 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 5: And Jamiko Ryans is definitely wise to that. You know, look, 142 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 5: you can look at the Patriot treck and go, well, 143 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 5: it's not so good, but it's the Patriots, and you 144 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 5: always have that place no matter what where Cincinnati, you 145 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 5: know where you're going to cincinnati're gonna win no matter. 146 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 4: What team you've got. It just kind of goes that way, right, no. 147 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 5: Matter who the quarterback is, no matter what, You're just 148 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 5: gonna go win in Cincinnati. And maybe New England is 149 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 5: the opposite for us. Maybe we just can't go to 150 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 5: New England and win. But I think this, to me 151 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 5: is as big a test because you're coming off a 152 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 5: big win against Buffalo, you're going on the road, You're 153 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 5: playing outside for the first time all. 154 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 4: Year, so you've got all that done. 155 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 5: You're right, man, we haven't played outside, so wow these Yeah, 156 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 5: we played inside the whole time. It's open, but yeah, 157 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 5: its first time outside all year. So of course I've 158 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 5: been checking the weather and all that. So you've got 159 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 5: to deal with elements for the first time. You've got 160 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 5: to deal with a pretty good and athletic defense. You know, 161 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 5: I know they got a couple of pieces missing. You know, 162 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 5: Christian Barmer went on ir earlier and was missing the year. 163 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 5: That's you know, he was a big fixture in the middle. 164 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 5: But still they're they're solid and strong up front linebackers. 165 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 5: They do some different things they're linebackers. They use some 166 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 5: kind of hybrid guys a lot of times to play 167 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 5: that linebacker spot. And the secondary is really good. So 168 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 5: you know, the offensive struggle. But you know with Drake May, 169 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 5: you don't. You have no idea, You have no idea 170 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 5: what they'll they'll conjure up, just like in twenty sixteen. 171 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 4: And this is where it's similar. 172 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 5: I remember we we were down I think three to 173 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 5: nothing or seven to nothing. Can't really move the ball offensively. 174 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 5: The Patriots aren't really at that point either. But then 175 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett ran like this quarterback sweep and we didn't 176 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 5: have anybody in the building close to him, like nobody. 177 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 5: He basically walked in from like the fifteen to or 178 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 5: fifteen twenty yard line just. 179 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: Walked in, and I'm like, oh boy, we're in trouble. 180 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 5: And it wasn't something that we hadn't seen or even 181 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 5: thought about seating to the Patriots because typically it was 182 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 5: Brady or it was Garoppolo, and we knew Brissette could 183 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 5: move but it just wasn't something that they had shown 184 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 5: because they didn't really have the quarterback to do it. Well, 185 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 5: then they did it with Jacobe. Well, now they've got 186 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 5: Drake May, so there's there are things that Drake's gonna 187 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 5: be able to do in moving out of the pocket. 188 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of 189 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 5: Drake May moving out of the pocket scheduled rollouts, because 190 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 5: putting him behind that offensive line that is banged up 191 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 5: and really not good right now is a recipe forore disaster. 192 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 5: Now they're gonna have to. They're gonna have to at 193 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 5: some point you have to an NFL game. But I 194 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 5: wouldn't be surprised that they moved the pocket all day. 195 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 5: Boots keeps whatever Alex van Pelt has got in his 196 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 5: war chest of plays that puts him on the. 197 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: Move or gets him out of that pocket. 198 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 5: I think they're gonna use so that he doesn't take 199 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 5: an absolute beating from this pass rush. 200 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 2: Alex van Pelt not to be confused with Bradley Fans 201 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: from former Colorado stateball at quarterback. Who next time you 202 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: talk to David Anderson, if it's you or if it's 203 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: you John ask him some Van Pelt stories and you'll 204 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: get you get. I think David Anderson should probably write, 205 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: if he hasn't already, write a book about Bradley van 206 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: Pelt stories, because they're awesome on the field and off 207 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: the field. 208 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: I mean, he's. 209 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: Got awesome, awesome stories about Bradley van Pelt. But that's 210 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 2: neither here nor there. What I want to do now, John, 211 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 2: is I want to raise a glass of medello to 212 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: four and one. Four and one. You got to go 213 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 2: back to twenty twelve to find a better start for 214 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,599 Speaker 2: your favorite football team. Five and oh that year. I 215 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 2: remember that one. And there I've said it, You've said it. 216 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: This year, coming in, this season, coming in has felt 217 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 2: very much like twenty twelve. But you know, you've got 218 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: a better quarterback, you know, knock to Matt shab at all, 219 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: but this guy is something else. So yeah, I'm pumped, 220 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: and you should go up there and you should stomp 221 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 2: these guys, John. 222 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope so these guys. 223 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 5: I mean again, when you go to a place a 224 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 5: number one, just you know, want this team to continue 225 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 5: to play good football. You know, we got news this 226 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 5: morning that that Nico's gone going on ir so that's 227 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 5: gonna sting. It's gonna sting, it's gonna hurt. It's gonna 228 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 5: be about four weeks. We only thought a couple of weeks, 229 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 5: maybe three, So you attack on another week. So he's 230 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 5: gonna miss the next three games, get healthy, get the Colts. 231 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 5: Right now are dancing a jig because he's just dominated 232 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 5: the Colts. But he'll miss the next four games at 233 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 5: a minimum. Hopefully you'll be able to get him back 234 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 5: at that point. But you still have Stefan Diggs, you 235 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 5: have Tank Dell, so you're gonna have this. Xavier's played 236 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 5: very very well. 237 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 3: Yep. 238 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 5: So I think you're not You're not lacking weapons at 239 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 5: that particular position whatsoever, but you are now lacking more 240 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 5: than likely the number one receiver in the league. Yeah, 241 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 5: you're gonna have to learn how to. 242 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 4: Deal with it. But I think that, as crazy as 243 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 4: it sounds. 244 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 5: Owns that might be where Bobby Slow could take advantage 245 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 5: of the Patriots defense, like, Okay, they don't know what 246 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 5: we're gonna do with Steph and Tank. 247 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 4: They don't. 248 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 3: Still, that's a great points an equation changer. 249 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 5: Ye, absolute exactly now teams now the Packers might get 250 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 5: a chance to look at the Colts, et cetera. 251 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 4: But and then the Jets after that. 252 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 5: I hate that Nico missed that Thursday nine game against 253 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 5: the Jets too, because he got hurt in that game 254 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 5: against the Jets last year. 255 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 4: But that's gonna be a big one. 256 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 5: But I think you've got enough, You've got enough ammunition 257 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 5: up on a shelf that you should be able to 258 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 5: go to New England and put some points on the board. 259 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 5: And then defensively, look, you held Josh Allen a nine 260 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 5: to thirty. You got one sack, but you're harassed him 261 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 5: all day. And this is a a offense line that's 262 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 5: not of that caliber of the Bills. And Drake May 263 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 5: is not Josh Allen yet, but it's new. He's new, 264 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 5: and because he's new, you just don't know. 265 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: Look at you, man, we're like stocked in him alone 266 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 2: because you're setting me up perfectly. And I'm not saying 267 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: I'm alone or your stock, but it's kind of like that, 268 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: that partnership, because that sets us up perfectly for our cream. 269 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: Of the crop, the cream of the crop. 270 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, macho man, Randy Savage Cream of 271 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: the Crop Award winner. So if the Texans come home 272 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: at five and one next week. I think they're coming 273 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 2: home at five and one because of one Will Anderson Junior. 274 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 4: That's what I was thinking. I was thinking about. 275 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: Him gonna get after the quarterback this week. He's been 276 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 2: he's been causing problems. Daniel Hunter has been causing problems. 277 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: Sack numbers not there, but it's clear that this defensive 278 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: line can generate a pass rush. 279 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: Ye. 280 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: Hey, don't forget either. De Nico Autry's coming soon too. Yes, 281 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: he'll be back soon. That's gonna be the last part 282 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: week of the suspension. Derek Barnett steady as they come. 283 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 2: Glad he's on this team too. But look out for 284 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 2: Will Anderson this week. He's my Cream of the Crop 285 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: Award predicted winner. I think he's gonna do really really 286 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: good things. I like what he has done so far, 287 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: but I think it goes up a notch against the 288 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: Patriots this weekend. 289 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 3: Who's yours? 290 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 5: I would love to say Joe Maxon, but I don't know. 291 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 5: But you just don't know Joe's health. 292 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 4: I wanted. 293 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 5: I saw Joe walking around the building yesterday Tuesday, because 294 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 5: we're recording this on Wednesday. 295 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 4: But I don't know if Joe plays, It's Joe. Okay. 296 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 5: If Joe doesn't play, then I'm gonna say. I'm gonna 297 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 5: say aziz al Shire. And what a game he played 298 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 5: the other unbelievable game. 299 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 4: Unbelievable game. I don't know Drevia had a chance to hear. 300 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 2: He's so sick and he still comes out and does that. Yeah, 301 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: he had a great interview with to Miko both after 302 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 2: the game, you know that day on the coach A Show. 303 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, what I loved about it was he mentioned to 304 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 5: his Hease because on the first drive, you go back 305 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 5: and watch it, you see he's missed a couple of 306 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 5: tackles on those fronts and Coach was not happy about that. 307 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 5: And he said, I'm sitting you down. And it was 308 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 5: so funny because De Miko is telling us this. He's 309 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 5: doing this with a smile on his face. He's talking 310 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 5: to us. But I can't imagine there was not There 311 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 5: was a smile on his face when he talked to 312 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 5: his Ease. But he said they were on the sidelines, 313 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 5: they talked and he coaches words. They had words as 314 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 5: these went back out there and I think played the 315 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 5: best game he's played as a Texan. 316 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 4: He was incredible. 317 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 3: He was all over the play, almost picked off two 318 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 3: passes too. 319 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 4: Almost picked one off and dropped the other one. Yeah. 320 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, So if there were stats, like if they're different 321 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 5: columns for there's like dropped interceptions, there are man, it 322 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 5: was a great play, just couldn't reel it in. 323 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 4: He would get one in those categories. 324 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: There are stats. 325 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 2: And are the cold, limpless, undescriptive PD pass deflection? 326 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, absolutely what it is. Yeah, and back to 327 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 5: back plays and I mean I think they showed exactly 328 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 5: what disease can do. So uh, Asese has got a 329 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 5: lot with Drake may Drake's gonna move. He's going to 330 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 5: be on the move. And that's where Josh Allen really couldn't. 331 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 5: I mean, he had some runs, but when Josh went 332 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 5: back to pass and then left the pocket, Ausease was 333 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 5: spying him the whole game and ran to him.
