1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the Dimico Ryan Show, and obviously

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: a happy one tonight after the Texans beat the Chiefs

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: last night at Arrowhead Stadium, their first victory there since

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and a monster win really when you look

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: at the situation, the Chiefs playing for their playoff lives

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: and the Texans trying to keep the good times rolling.

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: Able to get the victory twenty to ten thanks to

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: the best defense in the NFL points and yards. Yes,

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: they put on another historic type performance. Really, when you

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: look at Mahomes having a historically bad night for him

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: in terms of quarterback rating, three interceptions, the Chiefs turning

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: it over on downs twice in their own end in

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. The Texans able to capitalize with ten

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: points off those moments and distance themselves a double digit

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: score victory against the Chiefs, first time they've suffered that

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: this year. So it all ended up being a very

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: cheery situation for the Houston Texans. And as we will

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: discuss with the head coach, this is not one where

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna break out the champagne bottles and throw a parade.

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: This is a very good win, but it's in a

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: series of wins five in a row and in a

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: season where you feel like the ceiling is so much higher,

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: there's so much more to work on. So let's talk

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: about that with the head coach, among other things. Tamiko

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: Ryans coach, congratulations, good to see how's it going.

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: Thanks, great to see you guys going well. I was

27
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: excited at their.

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: Win, all right, coming off the victory over the Kansas

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: City Chiefs and heading into the Arizona game back at

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: home on Sunday at NRG Stadium. But let's review Sunday

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: night football.

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: Coach.

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: Your defense was magnificent and your offense did plenty in

34
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: the game to get the job done.

35
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: Ultimately, Yeah, started was outstanding defensive performance, one of the

36
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: best I've seen, especially versus that quarterback. Guys did a

37
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: really great job of playing excellent and coverage, like being

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: where we needed to be, making the plays we needed

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: to make. Al Kamari, you know, playing an outstanding game

40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: play he made and the end zone to you know,

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: bat the ball down that was a huge play in

42
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 2: the game, gets an interception, he's showing up, he's tackling,

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: he's just all over the place, you know, playing reckless.

44
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 4: In the interior d tackle.

45
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: I think every time they ran the football, Tommy Tagy

46
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 2: I made a tackle, it was he had over ten tackles,

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: like it was an impressive job by him, just really

48
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: playing style, controlling the line of scrimmage.

49
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 4: And then at the second level just the linebackers again, the.

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: These I throw Petrie in there, and hey, they were

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 2: flying around, they were making plays, they were playing physical

52
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 2: and d line, and although we didn't get a ton

53
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: of sacks, I thought how we played Mahomes was exactly

54
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: you know, the game playing just playing smart around him,

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: especially when he's scrambling through on the sideline. Guys played

56
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 2: really smart, didn't put ourselves in any bad spots there.

57
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: So I'm just proud of the guys for executing the game,

58
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 2: playing the proper way.

59
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 4: Coach.

60
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 5: When you see a Z's snatch that interception, I know

61
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 5: I hadn't thought of, but there were two of them,

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 5: I know this year, and he talked about in the

63
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 5: post game show saying that I think they were up

64
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 5: to seven that he had in his hands and he

65
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 5: couldn't hang on too. But when he snatches that one,

66
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 5: it's literally right in front of our bench. When you

67
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 5: see him make that pick. What are you thinking at

68
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 5: that moment he caught it?

69
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: Yes, he caught it because he's my guy man, he's uh.

70
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: I was happy, really happy that he caught the ball.

71
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: He's had a lot of a lot of tough ones

72
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 2: that a lot of close ones that he didn't come

73
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: down with. So I was just excited for him and

74
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: where he caught it, like knowing that our offense was

75
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: in the plus territory already on their side. So I

76
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: was definitely excited and fired up about that, happy for

77
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: Azase to get it in that moment.

78
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: And a side note on him, an important one. Walter

79
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: Payton Man of the Year Award nominee. He's the Club

80
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Award winner, coach. What about that?

81
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it says a lot about you know, a

82
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: Z's and the man that he is. You know, underneath

83
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: the helmet's up to an outstanding young man, a guy

84
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: who's in the community. He's all about helping kids. He's

85
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: a guy who was always willing to share his story.

86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: He had a rough upbringing, but he was able to overcome,

87
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: persevere and be in a spot where he's an NFL

88
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: player and the one thing that he cares about most

89
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: is reaching back out to young kids who could have

90
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: were possibly in the same situation that he's in, and

91
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: he wants to talk to them, let them know that

92
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: he whatever you're going through, you can overcome it. And

93
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: he has such a just a great feel about just

94
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: being able to be there for people.

95
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 4: When we were.

96
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: Trying to we were trying to surprise him with the

97
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: Walter Paton Man of the Year. He was doing a

98
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: movie night event for the kids in our team room

99
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: team auditorium and we're waiting in the defensive auditorium.

100
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: Was like, hey, they should be done by now.

101
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: The cameraman, their arms are getting tired, they're holding the can.

102
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: It's like it pop over. It's like, oh, well, these

103
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: is talking to every kid. He's making sure every person

104
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: leaves with an autograph.

105
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, coach, you talked about this at your inaugural press conference,

106
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: how you want the guys to be better fathers, men, husbands,

107
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: et cetera. And Asese is a great example of that.

108
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: You've had him for a long time under your tutelage,

109
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: if you will, what about that part of it has

110
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: to be very gratifying to see these guys grow.

111
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: And for sure, it's very gratifying to see, you know,

112
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: especially with disease. I've known him since twenty nineteen. He

113
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: was an undrafted free agent rookie for Man San Francisco,

114
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: and just to.

115
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: See where he started.

116
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: And how he's just matured over the over the years

117
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: as a player and also off the field, just as

118
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: a leader. Like to go from undrafted free agent rookie

119
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 2: who's not playing much at all and now here we

120
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: fast forward to twenty twenty five and you're a team captain,

121
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: Walter Payton, Man of the Year for the Houston Texas

122
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: well for hisself, Like he's just man, he's grown so

123
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: much and you need anybody to talk to the team,

124
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: give them a motivational message or whatever, or some wisdom

125
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: insight into like it's disease. And so he's the guy

126
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: always lean on, like, Hey, I need you to talk

127
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: to the guys about whatever it may be. Like I

128
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: know he's gonna deliver the proper message at that time.

129
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: I know he's gonna say it, probably better than I

130
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: can say it.

131
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 4: And he's very relatable in the locker room. The guys

132
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 4: look up to him.

133
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: And I'm just thankful we were able to get him

134
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: here to Houston because he's been such an impact guy

135
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: for our team.

136
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 4: Couse.

137
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 5: You think when a team has a great defense the

138
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 5: way that we do.

139
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 6: Here, I think the thought is, oh, there are a

140
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 6: bunch of bad dudes.

141
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 5: Oh man, these guys must be you know, terrors or

142
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 5: whatever the case might be.

143
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 6: And it's really not that. On the plane on the way.

144
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 5: Home, cycling through everything and social media is just going crazy.

145
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 5: But I ended up seeing the interview with Melissa Stark

146
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 5: after the game and it was cj Aziz and Jalen

147
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 5: and when they popped up the highlight and they wanted

148
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 5: Jalen to talk about his interception, which is one of

149
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 5: the great interceptions ever.

150
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 6: The guy tips.

151
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 5: It turns around after Kaln drills the receiver and makes

152
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 5: a diving catch, And the first thing Jalen says is

153
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 5: that play happened because A Z's jumped in the opening window.

154
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 6: For the quarterback.

155
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 5: For your players to look at the game that way,

156
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 5: that it's not me, that guy made the play for me.

157
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 6: What is that?

158
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 5: What do you think that says about what you're building here,

159
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 5: what you guys have been building here for a while,

160
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 5: and the players that you have in the building already.

161
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: Oh, the guys understand the messes. They understand the formula

162
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: of what it takes to play great team defense. Great

163
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: team football is not about one guy. And I always

164
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: will say then I always make sure the guys believe that,

165
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: like it is never about one guy. Like you made

166
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: a play because of what someone else probably did on

167
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: a particular play as well.

168
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 4: So that speaks to Jalen.

169
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: Making that comment about disease being there and Jay there

170
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: wasn't an exceptional play by Jalen. But everybody feeds off

171
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: of each other. We talk about it all the time.

172
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: We're gonna be an elite defense. It's gonna be about

173
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: rush and coverage. It's gonna be about d line run game,

174
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: d lin setting edges, forcing the ball back inside so

175
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: the linebackers, the safeties can feel inside. So it's all

176
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: about guys playing together. And we've played together so well.

177
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: We just have to continue to do that and we're

178
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: doing great things as a defense.

179
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: Do you have to sell them on to a degree?

180
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: Hey, you're gonna get your numbers if you played the

181
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: way you want them to play, it'll happen. It's like basketball,

182
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: you'll score points if you play this way.

183
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 4: No doubt about it.

184
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: And you'll see sometimes when we do give up a play,

185
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: somebody's pressing, somebody's trying to do something that's not in

186
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: line with the defense or what we were coaching and

187
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: coaching the guys to do. Well, I thought I could

188
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: make a play, Well, that's when we give up plays.

189
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: So you just have to always talk about it all

190
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: the time. You just have to play the defense the

191
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: right way. Play the defense the right way. And what

192
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: I mean by that is is all he living gods.

193
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: Just be where you're supposed to be and just go

194
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: as hard as you could possibly go, play as physical

195
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: as you could possibly play, and we're gonna make plays.

196
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: Everybody will have their opportunities and you never know when

197
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: the opportunity comes. But just be where you're supposed to be,

198
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: have your eyes in the right place. There are a

199
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: ton of opportunities for everyone.

200
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 6: You just said it.

201
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 5: You never know when your opportunity is gonna come or

202
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 5: most so when the guy about to ask you about

203
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 5: you never know when your opportunity is gonna come back.

204
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 5: And I talked to Dara last night after the game,

205
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 5: and I think it's well known that first game against

206
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 5: the Rams, he has that play at the end where

207
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 5: he's trying to get extra yards. It gets punched out.

208
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 5: At that point, man, where's your season going? What's gonna happen?

209
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 5: What he starts to get a lot of carries? Nick

210
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: is getting and so Darry's not getting a lot of

211
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 5: reps are running back. And yet, and yet, in what

212
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 5: we arguably could say is the biggest win of the year,

213
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 5: down on the five yard line, it's Starr a goombawa.

214
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 5: He finds his opportunity and takes advantage of that. Coach,

215
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 5: what do you think that says about him? Seemingly as

216
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 5: you know, a symbol of the way the team reacts.

217
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 6: But Darry stepping up with that opportunity.

218
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 4: It's such a great story.

219
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: You go back to that first game and when we

220
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: were heading down to close the game out, like we

221
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: throw the ball to Darray you know, in the flat

222
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: and of course he you know, the guy makes a

223
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: great play on the football. He lets go now fast

224
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: forward here you know we're playing against the Chiefs on

225
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: the road. What he gets nicked up, Tubb gets nicked up.

226
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: It's like like let's go, hey, let's let's run. It

227
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: is there's the trust factor in all of our players

228
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: that we as coaches have, Like, man, I believe in

229
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: all these guys. That's why they're on our team.

230
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 4: I believe in them.

231
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: I trust Daray with whatever we're asking him to do,

232
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: Like I know, he's gonna come up for us. And

233
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: that was such a huge play, huge moment for him.

234
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: Happy for him to be able to get that moment

235
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: there in Kansas City.

236
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: Coach, you mentioned what he had the touchdown catch, twenty

237
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: six carries last night for sixty eight yards. I know

238
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: you want more yards, but the willingness, the commitment to

239
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: stick with it, keep hammering the ball, don't turn it over,

240
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: keep going, keep making some forward progress here, and it

241
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: worked out at the end of the night.

242
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think we talked about this like last week.

243
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: It's like when things don't they may not the runs

244
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: may not look great, but you still just have to

245
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: stick with it.

246
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 4: You have to stick with it, force.

247
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: Them to defend the runs, force them to defend a

248
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: variety of runs.

249
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 4: And I felt like we did that.

250
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: I felt like the number was thirty. I think we

251
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: ended up getting like thirty runs, and I always feel

252
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 2: like that's the number. That's how you control the game,

253
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: it's how you win that time, possessing battle versus KC,

254
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: who's done a great job. That's what they do, Like,

255
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: they find a way to just get first downs and

256
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: keep moving down the field, take calculated shots when they

257
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: need to, and that was a good way for us,

258
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: a good formula for us to kind of beat them

259
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: at their own game.

260
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 5: Coach, I think people forget it's only CJ's second game

261
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 5: back after missing the three games. What were the things

262
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 5: that you like when you went back and watch the

263
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 5: film and what do you think there are some What

264
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 5: are the things you think there could be improved upon

265
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 5: going forward?

266
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, the things I like for CJ is the movement,

267
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: like the movement out of the pocket, escaping the pocket,

268
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: keeping plays alive. I really liked him keeping his eyes down,

269
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: feel making plays, especially some of the critical third downs

270
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: he made to Higgins Nico Dawton, Like he made some

271
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: really nice throws there. And also the next game, probably

272
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: I could have said this first, just some of the

273
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: what I call the sack saber plays, is some of

274
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: those plays where he's feeling that pressure guys are on him,

275
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 2: where in the past we've taken those sacks. He did

276
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: a great job of just dirting the football getting rid

277
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: of and knowing, hey, they got us on his play,

278
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: let's not make a bad play worse. So great decisions

279
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: by him there and some improvements. I think there's some

280
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: throws I think we could have back. I think we

281
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: can make a better throw there to Nico so we

282
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: can score on the first play and the first explosive

283
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: where we run past the defender. But I think he

284
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: would just keep working into it, keep improving making better throws.

285
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 4: But overall, really.

286
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: Great decision making by him to not turn the ball

287
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: over it's always the most important thing, and didn't turn

288
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: the ball over and made great decisions when they bad

289
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: things happened.

290
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: Coach, last week, we asked you if it would help

291
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: that you were there last year December January, used to

292
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: the environment, accustomed to that. How much did it help

293
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: as you look back now on the victory over the Chiefs.

294
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 2: I would like to think it helped a little bit

295
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: for our guys who just understanding what that moment felt

296
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: like the last time we were there, you know, being

297
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: in that locker room for the playoff loss. I think

298
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: looking at it from that lens, it was a lot

299
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 2: of hurt feelings, you know, in their locker room, and

300
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: you know we of course everybody did what they had

301
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: to do to not let that happen again. Like and

302
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: so I'm proud of the guys for handling themselves, handling

303
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: environment the right way and going there and doing what

304
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: we knew we were capable of doing well.

305
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: Also, last week after beating the Colts, I felt like

306
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: you were happy with the win, but you know there's

307
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: a much higher ceiling. There's much more to go get

308
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: And I felt it last night again that this is

309
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,119
Speaker 1: this is one to celebrate, but it's one of seventeen

310
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: and you got to keep going because the bigger ones

311
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: are down the road or maybe just this week.

312
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's my mindset. I'm locked in, like on

313
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: the what's ahead of us. I know what we're capable

314
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: of doing as a team. I feel like we have

315
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: a really special team. It's a good win. I tell you, guys,

316
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: you should expect to win, right. We're not getting overly

317
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: excited about who we beat because we beat, Like, no,

318
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: that's what you expect to do. And if you don't expect,

319
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're doing here. But that's my expectations.

320
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: Every time we line up. We got to go out execute,

321
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: play great football, play team football, and we can go

322
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: and beat any opponent. And so my eyes are forward,

323
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: all right, not gonna get too high. I'm trying to

324
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: stay stay as even keeled as possible and just lead

325
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: this group as best I can coach.

326
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 5: I thought it was interesting walking out of the locker room.

327
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 5: I saw Kamara on the phone and I didn't know

328
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 5: what it was until later, and I saw a video

329
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 5: clip of Shady McCoy and a mano ocho and he's

330
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 5: talking to him.

331
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 6: One of the questions that they asked him.

332
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 5: At the very end was essentially, so you guys are

333
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 5: good now. I mean, like you guys realize you're good

334
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 5: and you know, whatever the case might be. And he's like, no, sir,

335
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 5: we are not satisfied. We know that we've got more there.

336
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: Like you just said, there's more there. With Kamara, it

337
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 5: feels like there's even more there. The fact that he

338
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 5: even played last night with that deal with that foot

339
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 5: issue and what he comes up with. I don't know

340
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 5: if he was supposed to blitz on that one play.

341
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 5: You don't have to say it, but he ends up

342
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 5: like forcing Mahomes into a bad throw. It just feels

343
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 5: like his football IQ, his playmaking, what he sees, everything

344
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 5: is just growing at such a rapid rate for him

345
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 5: out on the field.

346
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 6: And then his toughness is never questioning. Smarts are there.

347
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 5: What do you think about what Kamari has been able

348
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 5: to do even last night playing through that that injured foot.

349
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: Yea, it starts with the toughness and he's just one

350
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: of the toughest guys I've been around. That's off the chart.

351
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: You know, he's dealing with this foot injury and he's

352
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: dealing with a lot of pain. A lot of people

353
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: wouldn't know that. A boy how he played, but he's

354
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: dealing with pain. But I saw him walking.

355
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 4: I was like, man, you going this week?

356
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: It's like Kaylan was walking with He's like, oh, coach,

357
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: he didn't have a choice. You know, he's playing and

358
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,239
Speaker 2: that's that's his mindset. I know that's Kamara's mindset.

359
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 4: Man.

360
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: He's a you talk about a physical, physical corner. He

361
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: still he made a ton of great tackles for us,

362
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: you know, playing behind the line of Scrimmas.

363
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 4: The blitz, Yeah, it was a call blitz. He supposed

364
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 4: to be there.

365
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: He made a great play there, hitting my homes. He's

366
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: just all over the field. And I think the the

367
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: the best redeeming trade about Kamari is uh, let's say,

368
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: like he gives gives up one pass on the sideline

369
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: there they're backed up.

370
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 4: It's like he doesn't blame.

371
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: He comes back the next play, he's chasing the tight

372
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 2: end across the field like we're relentless. Ever, you can't

373
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 2: catch the football on him. He runs down deep, he

374
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 2: comes back up. He sets the ads on the next

375
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: play like he's just so even killed, He's so in

376
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 2: the moment, he say, has this next play mentality, and

377
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: he's so locked in. And I think that confidence that

378
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: he shows, like you can't fluster him no matter if

379
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: you catch the ball on him or not. He comes back,

380
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: he picks the ball off. So he's a guy who

381
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: just you know, can't be messed with. People keep trying

382
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 2: him and he keeps proving over and over again and

383
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 2: he can make those plays.

384
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 5: I don't know if I should use the word underrated,

385
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 5: but we've talked about so many plays from the game,

386
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 5: but the ball he knocks away from tayke Kwon Thornton

387
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 5: in the end zone, just playing through the hands, doing

388
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 5: his coach, that's just big a plays that.

389
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: Game, huge play, huge play man. A lot of guys

390
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: panicing that moment. I always always try to teach coaches like,

391
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: how do you put your guys in those stressful positions,

392
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 2: like when you're downfield, the ball is in the air.

393
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: How can we train guys in those moments, because that's

394
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna want them to make the play, So train

395
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 2: them in that moment.

396
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 4: And you know, for him to not panic in the moment.

397
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: A lot of guys get past interference there and they

398
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: look like he did an outstanding job playing through the

399
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: hands exactly how you would teach it.

400
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 4: It's such a huge player.

401
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: Well how do you practice that? What can you tell us, coach?

402
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: You have to go full speed with that kind of thing.

403
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: Well, you you know, you can't go full speed all

404
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: the time, but it's just a matter. I think coach

405
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: Dino does a really good job with the DBS of.

406
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 4: Having them track the football.

407
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: Like he has a lot of different drills where he

408
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 2: throws up things distracting them with to make make it

409
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: distracting so their eyes are truly focused on the football.

410
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: So just doing drills like that in a condensed space,

411
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: you can't go full speed all the time. But as

412
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 2: many reps as you can get of a guy playing

413
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: when the ball is up, playing through the hands, or

414
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: going attacking the football going up in the cast of football,

415
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: like you can't put them in those spots enough.

416
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 5: Coach, There's been a number of times this year Bill's

417
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 5: game for sure. Come off the Colts game, obviously this game,

418
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 5: and everybody's talking about your defense, are talking about CJ

419
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 5: making some plays, telling you how great you are. And

420
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 5: now here come to Arizona Cardinals, a team that is

421
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 5: out of playoff contention, not playing exceptionally well, coming off

422
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 5: a tough.

423
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 6: Loss to the La Rams. That always feels like, I

424
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 6: know in our position, like that's a team I don't

425
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 6: really want to.

426
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 5: Play because they got nothing to lose and we got

427
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 5: a lot to play for it. So with them coming

428
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 5: into the building, how important, as you'd like to say,

429
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 5: when you lose it, you gotta flush. When you lose one,

430
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 5: you gotta flush it. But when you win one, you

431
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 5: kind of gotta flush that too, in a sense that

432
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 5: you don't keep living off at too long into a

433
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 5: week that you're not totally prepared for the Cardinals. What

434
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 5: are your thoughts about taking on them on Sunday.

435
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, for us, like even going back to the game

436
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 2: right versus Kansas, even though we won that game, like,

437
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: oh many things we got to clean up. So there's

438
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: no room for anyone to you know, not to look

439
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: past a team or like, I'm so focused on our

440
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: team right now and the things we have to clean up. Offensively,

441
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: we got a ton of things that we need to

442
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 2: clean up. Defensively, there are some things that you know,

443
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: got loose on us a little bit that we can

444
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: we can clean up with some communication things as well.

445
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: So I'm so focused on that where we got to

446
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 2: focus on us to where Okay, whoever our next opponent is,

447
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 2: we'll deal with that when when the time comes.

448
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 4: But right now, we got to clean up our house first.

449
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: And then you know, the Cardinals they'll present some different challenges,

450
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 2: especially defensively. You know, Gannon has done a really great job,

451
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 2: but just he presents a lot of different looks, three

452
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 2: safety looks that can be tricky at times. So the communication,

453
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: the awareness identification of what's going on is gonna be

454
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 2: very key for us. Offensively, he got two good receivers.

455
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: Tight End McBride's playing really well, got catches. The catches

456
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: passes every game. I think he has some record of

457
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 2: consecutive catches or something in a game. But it's just

458
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: for us. You gotta be on your coverage. Brissette is

459
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: a veteran quarterback. He's been a starter at multiple spots,

460
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: like he's been around the league for a while now,

461
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: and it's a credit to him because he can come in,

462
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: he can make plays. So we got to get after

463
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: him up front. Of course, you know our d line.

464
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: That's gonna be key for this game, getting after their

465
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: front and in the back end, like can we go

466
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 2: take the football away again?

467
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: Coach, Johnny and I volunteer to be in the team

468
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: meeting because we can tell you all about the history

469
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: of Jacoby Brissett against the Houston Texas.

470
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 3: Really and he's beating the Texans with three different teams.

471
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: Not in your era, of course, but there is a

472
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: history here with this quarterback. So we are in full

473
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: high art this game. Okay, all right, well we'll convince

474
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: the guys for you, Coach.

475
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 4: I'm convinced now too.

476
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm alert the Amgy Bank ask coach question of the week.

477
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: It's kids Day at RG Stadium. Coach when the Texans

478
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: take on the Cardinals Sunday noon at NRG. So your

479
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: favorite game to play as a kid, not formal organized

480
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: football or any organized sport.

481
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: It could be a game that.

482
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: Involves athletics, or maybe a board game indoors with the family,

483
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be.

484
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite game that you played as

485
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: a kid?

486
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 4: Favorite game as a kid? I guess indoors was Monopoly

487
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: like board games, you know, video games.

488
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: We were playing PlayStation or something like that, playing something

489
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: and then just outside when we were just outside just playing.

490
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 4: So we call it hotball.

491
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: You just all the guys just huddle around, you know,

492
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: we throw the ball up, you get it and you

493
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: try to take off it run.

494
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: It's a different name for that. Back in the day.

495
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 4: We call it hotball.

496
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: That's a good play record, right, good one, coach, Thanks

497
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: a lot of good luck this week.

Speaker 4: Appreciate again, all right.

Speaker 1: and Clint Sterner among other things coming your way here.

504
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: As the Texans have won five games in a row.

505
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: They are now eight and five with four games remaining

506
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: in the regular season, including Arizona Sunday at noon at NRG.

Speaker 1: And the closer with the Colts TBA or TBD when

511
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,480

Speaker 1: loose on that final game of the regular season to

513
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,880

Speaker 1: It's all next here on Texans Radio. Back to it

520
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: here on the Mik O'Ryan show them before we get

521
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: back to the head coach and check in with the

522
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: ziz Ou Shire on Texans post game, which was just

523
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: a few hours ago. Really, let's hear from CJ. Stroud

524
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: after the game Stroud throwing a touchdown pass to what

525
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: he marks. He was sub fifty percent, but he did

526
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: not turn the ball over. On a night when Patrick

527
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes coughed it up three times with interceptions, Stroud trying

528
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: to play as clean as possible in this one fourth

529
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: quarter touchdown drive, big pass to Jayden Higgins along the

530
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: way for a first down, and eventually daryagun Bowil punching

531
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: it in. Here was the conversation before that march.

532
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just I try to bring the guys up,

533
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 7: you know, just to say, like, you know, our defense

534
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 7: is holding us together, like come on, man, let's go

535
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 7: make some of course some points. You know, you know,

536
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 7: we know how Dame danis we are when we're doing

537
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 7: the right things. And at that point, you know, uh,

538
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 7: you know we got out there defense. You know, got

539
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 7: to stop and move the ball around the ball great.

540
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 7: You know, I try to make the play on third

541
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 7: down and then you know, Darry punches it in. So

542
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 7: you know, it's not always gonna be pretty, it's not

543
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 7: always gonna be perfect, but you know, whenever you know

544
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 7: your numbers call, you try to make the play.

545
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 8: C J.

546
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: Stradd was asked about winning ugly I didn't think it

547
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: was ugly. I thought that was a beautiful victory twenty

548
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: to ten over the Chiefs. But here's CJ.

549
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 7: Definitely, because I mean we've been in the same shoes

550
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 7: and came out the other side, you know, and lost

551
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 7: you know, early in the season. So you know, I

552
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 7: wouldn't even consider this is completely ugly. Came of course.

553
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 7: You know, there's a bunch of things to clean up.

554
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 7: And I think, you know, in December, like I said,

555
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 7: like you can get a win, win and learn from

556
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 7: it later. But yeah, we got to fix a lot

557
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 7: of things.

558
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: What is the overall plan for turning this thing around?

559
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: What's been working and what needs to continue.

560
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 7: I think sticking to the plan is right, you know,

561
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 7: and I you know, just jumping a wall and you know,

562
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 7: just having these hard conversations and holding each other accountable.

563
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 7: You know, I think it's been big for us. So

564
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 7: you know, I gotta we gotta keep that going and

565
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 7: you know, fix the issues as well.

566
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: What about CJ's thoughts on the defense week after week,

567
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: making play after play the number one unit in the league.

568
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's extraordinary, man, Like you know, go against you know,

569
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 7: some play like they have you know, with Patt and

570
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 7: Travis and you know, you know the guys that got

571
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 7: an house hour she Rice and he's every worthy, you know.

572
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 7: You know, I thought our defense did a great job

573
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 7: of being sticking coverage and relinousy Russian, you know. And

574
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 7: I thought they did an amazing.

575
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: Job stroud getting to win in a second game back

576
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: after returning last week against the Indianapolis Colts. Now, after

577
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: the game against the Chiefs as E's house, Shier called

578
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 1: into the postgame show with Sean Pendergast and Clint Sterner,

579
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: and here's how it went down.

580
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 3: How did that feel?

581
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 9: How did that feel after those two games last year

582
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 9: in Kansas City for you guys to get the job

583
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 9: done tonight?

584
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 10: Hey, you guys doing man, Thanks for having me. Man,

585
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 10: it was amazing. You know before the game, uh, in

586
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 10: the locker room talking to everybody and I let them know,

587
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 10: like man, like last year, remember how we felt. And

588
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 10: I mean for me specifically, I remember being the locker

589
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 10: room crying, a lot of guys crying, and I was upset,

590
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 10: like I got hurt in the game and tried to

591
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 10: fight through the injury and just didn't play well. And

592
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 10: we all remember that feeling and I told him, like,

593
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 10: don't We're not leaving here until we get to win.

594
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 10: I don't care how happens. I don't care what happens.

595
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 10: We're gonna find a way to win. And that's exactly

596
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 10: what we did as a team.

597
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 11: Hey, you made you made a big play right there

598
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 11: at the end, disease, And look, I know it is.

599
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 11: It is without a doubt, clear as day that you

600
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 11: guys are all about the team. Team first, it was

601
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 11: it's a team game. But zero made a play right

602
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 11: there at the end that put the nail in that coffin. Man,

603
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 11: can we always like to ask guys to walk us

604
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 11: through that play because what goes on in the minds

605
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 11: of a player, particularly a middle linebacker, I think fascinates

606
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 11: the heck out of fans and listeners. Man, take us

607
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 11: through what you saw and how ultimately you ended up

608
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 11: completing the interception.

609
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I mean we were like a quarter's coverage

610
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 10: and Chelsea had ran the seven rounds a couple of times,

611
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 10: and so I have him if he goes vertical, and

612
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 10: he was going vertical, but I could just tell by

613
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 10: what he was starting to break down and he was

614
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 10: going to break out, and so Henry was kind of

615
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 10: underneath put put air on the ball, and I just

616
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 10: drove the route into him. I saw the ball kind

617
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 10: of hit Kelsey and pop in the air. I just

618
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 10: like my eyes got big and I just caught it.

619
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 10: But you know, like I remember just before the game,

620
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 10: because the guy's been giving me craps really the last

621
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 10: year and a half. I mean since I've been in Houston,

622
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 10: I've dropped seven interceptions. So for me, it's like, you know,

623
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 10: I almost like, man, you can't catch, you can't catch,

624
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 10: you don't have all types of stuff going on. I

625
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 10: was like, you know, before the game, I just made

626
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 10: a prayer. I'm like, God, maybe maybe I actually can't

627
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 10: catch anything. It's possible, so please find a way to

628
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 10: help me. Help me catch this ball. So when I

629
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 10: caught the ball, that's the first guy I was so grateful.

630
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 10: I dropped about d to the end zone and just

631
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 10: take it, guys, because I was just so grateful. And

632
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 10: you know, a lot of guys been telling me that

633
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 10: the big player was coming. It's going to come and

634
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 10: we most needed and so for it to come in

635
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 10: that moment, it was awesome.

636
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 9: As I was so happy for you, I was telling

637
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 9: this before the show. I was covering you guys at

638
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 9: the Greenbrier this year and you you did an interview

639
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 9: with me after practice one day, and I remember I

640
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 9: had to wait like forty five minutes to talk to

641
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 9: you because you were out there with one of the

642
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 9: assistant coaches, like doing hands drills out there for forty

643
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 9: five minutes. Because the exact reason you just said, did

644
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 9: you drop some interceptions. I was so happy for you

645
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 9: tonight when you caught that because I remember talking about

646
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 9: that drill with you at the Greenbrier this year.

647
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, me feeling like, like I said, in the

648
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 10: last year and a half, you know, I've dropped six

649
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 10: seven interceptions, So I mean, for me, it's like I

650
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 10: understand how how vital the ball is, but like, just

651
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 10: for sum reason, just wasn't able to come up with

652
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 10: the play. And you know, Meek and everybody from the

653
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 10: team that just mess supported me, and you know, guys

654
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 10: give me crap a whole bunch of the time, but

655
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 10: they always telling me like, hey, the play is coming,

656
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 10: Like you're playing great, You're in a great spoty in

657
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 10: a great zone. Just keep playing and eventually you're gonna

658
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 10: end up catching it. It was like, at least you're

659
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 10: in a position to drop it. I'm like, okay, well

660
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 10: we'll see, we'll see what happens. And like I said,

661
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 10: I just rememer making that prayer, just like, look, I

662
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 10: don't you know, you trying to lie to yourself and like, no,

663
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 10: I can't catch I can't. Like, well, look maybe I can't,

00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 10: please find a way to help me catch this ball.

666
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 10: When I caught the ball and I said, I was

667
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 10: just soresfull.

668
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 11: Hey asease again, man, I know you guys are hey,

669
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 11: on to the next man.

670
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 3: We're focusing on the next We're focusing on the next man.

671
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 3: But talk to us a little.

672
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 11: Bit about what it means to uh, just as a

673
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 11: football player. This isn't even about to me, it's not

674
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 11: even about the Texans and and you know the bigger picture.

675
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 11: But everybody that's ever played the game at this level knows, hey, man,

676
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 11: Arrowhead Stadium is one of the most difficult places to play,

677
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 11: especially when it's a night game, prime time, twenty some

678
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 11: odd degrees at kickoff.

679
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 3: You got Pat and Andy over there. You guys went

680
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: on the road.

681
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 11: You went to Kansas City, and you ultimately choked them

682
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 11: out twenty to ten and you're getting on the airplane

683
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 11: coming home with a dub Man. How big just in

684
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 11: the football NFL world is that to have accomplished that?

685
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 10: Oh man, it's huge. And you know, I've talked before

686
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 10: the game and even just to you know, the media

687
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 10: and everybody, like obviously you know Patrick holss Fame or

688
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 10: Andy Reid saying, you know, like they have great players,

689
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 10: great scheme. They've been great in this league for a

690
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 10: long time. My rookie year, you know, they ended up

691
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 10: beating me while I was in San Francisco to end

692
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 10: up losing the Super Bowl. So you know, obviously they're

693
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 10: great players. But like I said, the one thing I

694
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 10: love about the NFL is it doesn't matter what you've

695
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 10: been or who you were. You know, I was an

696
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 10: undrafted free agent when I came into this league, and

697
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 10: I worked for everything I had, and you know, Patrick

698
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 10: worked for everything he had to be so highly regarded.

699
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 10: But you know, like I tell everybody, it's any given Sunday,

700
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 10: and this year more than any year, with just all

701
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 10: the teams around the league, you see the stuff that's

702
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 10: been going on. I think it's just shown more than

703
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 10: any of that. Any given Sunday, anything can happen. So

704
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 10: I think for us just knowing like, hey, you got

705
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 10: to you gotta be the best today, not who you were,

706
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 10: not what you've been. Even for us as the defense,

707
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 10: you know, we've been top defense in the league, we

708
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 10: feel like all year, but it doesn't matter if you

709
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 10: don't do it that day. So I think that was

710
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 10: just a challenge to everybody, And of course it's a huge,

711
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 10: huge win.

712
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 9: For the guys are joining us on Texans post game.

713
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 9: As you guys are sitting at eight and five right now,

714
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 9: you were sitting at eight and five last year as well.

715
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 9: But it's really interesting how different the paths to eight

716
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 9: and five are. It just goes to show you how

717
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 9: different seasons can be. You guys started off this year

718
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 9: zero to three and now you're sitting at eight and five.

719
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 9: What does that say Talk a little bit about just

720
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 9: the resolve of this team throughout the season, because you

721
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 9: guys have been paddling upstream all year record wise because

722
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 9: of that first month. But now here you sit and

723
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 9: still like all your goals are still right in front

724
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 9: of you.

725
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 6: You put yourself in a good spot.

726
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 10: Yes, Sir, I think the biggest thing is obviously last

727
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 10: year we started off hot and we dropped a couple

728
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 10: of late whereas now you know, we shut it off

729
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 10: in a whole losing three in a row and then

730
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 10: finding a way to just stack wins. And that's what

731
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 10: we've been doing. So it's definitely been been awesome because,

732
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 10: like you said, it's a different field than it was

733
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 10: a year ago at the same point.

734
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, Aziza show you're joining us. Hey a ease, we

735
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 9: know you got a plane to catch heay. Congratulations on

736
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 9: the Walter Payton Man of the Year award here for

737
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 9: the Texans. That's really cool as I think I saw

738
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 9: an interview that you did. I forget who it was with,

739
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 9: but I'll reiterate with they said, it'll be really cool

740
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,239
Speaker 9: that you get to be in San Francisco for that.

741
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 9: Hopefully you'll be wearing pads instead of wearing a suit

742
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 9: to the Walter Payton Man of the Year because that

743
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 9: means the Texans will still be playing football.

744
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 6: But we're we're super proud of you man.

745
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,080

749
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 10: my pads be wearing my pads and is in a suit.

750

00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:12,880

Speaker 12: Man.

768
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 7: You know, it starts, you know, with just practice and preparation.

769
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 7: But you know, for me, it all goes back to

770
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 7: my Lord and save Jesus Christ and you know, be

771
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,400

774

Speaker 8: Like for you as a quarterback standing on the sideline

776
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 8: watching this defense?

777
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 7: I'm glad I'm on this team. But they do a

778
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 7: great job.

779
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 10: Man.

780
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 7: I had to go against them and train to cap

781
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 7: on a harder can get. You know, we got to

782
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 7: help them a little more offensively, but you know, we

783
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 7: take a dub in this environment and you know, keep

784
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 7: it rolling.

785
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 8: And Jalen, what is it like tonight? You guys were

786
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 8: so dominant. How did you do it against Patrick Mahomes

787
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 8: and this Chief's offense.

788
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 6: I think it's just about execution.

789
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 13: You know, we know what we got to do and

790
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 13: we know the pieces that we bring to the table.

791
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 13: So it's all about, you know, just seeing the right

792
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 13: things and make sure we executed when we see the

793
00:34:59,120 --> 00:34:59,479
Speaker 13: right things.

794
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was pretty much that.

795
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 8: Well, talking about executing when you see the right things.

796
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 8: That interception of yours in the second quarter, I don't

797
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 8: know if we've seen anything like it. Can you walk

798
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 8: us through it?

799
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 6: I can't walk you through it.

800
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 3: And you know, the catch and.

801
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 13: All of that was was pretty crazy. But the reason

802
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 13: I caught it was because of this man right here.

803
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 13: He got in the first window. Practical mahomes came back

804
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 13: and tried to fit it in there, and then yeah,

805
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 13: the whole tip of roue happened and it fell on

806
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 13: my hands. But you know, really thankful for it.

807
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 8: Is he's coming here because you had an interception of

808
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 8: your own and you were letting go of that ball

809
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 8: on the sideline.

810
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 12: WE'REO.

811
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 7: No.

812
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 14: You know, I talked to the guys in the locker

813
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 14: room before the game a year ago today. You know,

814
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 14: we were in that locker room crying myself, you know,

815
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 14: just losing that playoff game. You know, I got hurt

816
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 14: in the game, and I had a long offseason rolle

817
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 14: a recovery every single day. It was a dark place

818
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 14: for me. Everything I had went through. It was just

819
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 14: it was just a terrible place I was in. And

820
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 14: I had this game, I mean circled since since the

821
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 14: last time we were here, and I told the guys

822
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 14: we're not leaving. Were out the dub and I'm just

823
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 14: so grateful to God man. Where I was, like I said,

824
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 14: a year ago, on the same field, crying my eyes

825
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 14: out because I was in pain and we lost in

826
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 14: the playoffs to now be getting my first player in

827
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 14: the game Sunday Night Football. So I'm truly grateful. You know,

828
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 14: God is amazing. You know, all praise to the law

829
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 14: and uh man, I just keep this thing going.

830
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 8: That's awesome. Congratulations, big reason to celebrate, guys.

831
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 5: Thank you.

832
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: One more tidbit from Sunday Night Football as Will Anderson

833
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: Junior visited the desk after the game and you hear

834
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee asking him a question along with Rodney Harrison.

835
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 3: This is quick, but it's good.

836
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 15: There's very few breakdowns on your defense. You don't see

837
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 15: guys running wide open. You don't see holes that open

838
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 15: up because people were in the wrong place. How do

839
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 15: you guys get that? Just that mental capacity weekend and

840
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 15: week out, play in and play out.

841
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 16: Yeah, most definitely. I think it's just the accountability part.

842
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 16: We have a great defense like that. I think it's

843
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 16: everybody holding each other accountable and really just looking in

844
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 16: the mirror saying I don't want to let my brother down.

845
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 16: And I think that's what Feesa's defense is. Everybody that's

846
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 16: on the field, I can't let my brother down. I

847
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 16: got to do my job to the best of ability

848
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 16: for everybody out there was the championship defense mentality, coach,

849
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 16: You know about the.

850
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: When you see these players interviewed on the primetime sets,

851
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 1: whether it's Sunday Night football, Monday Night football, Thursday night football.

852
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: It's such a thrill when it's your guys up there.

853
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 3: Especially on the road.

854
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: Seeing Will Anderson up there from a distance interviewed on

855
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: that Sunda Night football set.

856
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,600

00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 5: kind of shaking our heads.

903
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 6: Like man had its right there.

904
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 5: We could have made a few more plays. We'd walked

905
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 5: out of here with a winning the regular season or

906
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 5: the playoffs. Now we're sitting here tonight with a win

907
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 5: over these guys. Totally different feeling. First of all, we're

908
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 5: the vibes. How you feeling right now?

909
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: I'm feeling feeling really great, man, I'm really I'm feeling proud.

910
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: It's proud of this entire team. How guys came out

911
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 2: and we just did what we needed to do, like it,

912
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: you know, whatever it took. We started off with a

913
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 2: great first half there, getting up I mean, third quarter

914
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: was not great by any means. But the defense kept battling,

915
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: they kept getting stops and they need to get stops.

916
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 2: And then we finished in the fourth quarter, right, And

917
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 2: that's really what it all boils down to.

918
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 4: That's what matters most is how you.

919
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 2: Finished versus a really really good team, like we came

920
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: out and did what we were supposed to do.

921
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 4: All right, I'm.

922
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 5: Gonna there's so many people to talk about, so many

923
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 5: moments to talk about in this one. But you have

924
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 5: first and goal with the five and what he's got

925
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 5: to come out of the game and Darry goes in

926
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 5: and Darry, I don't know that he's.

927
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 6: Had to carry it and I don't know how long.

928
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 5: And I know he's a guy that week won after

929
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 5: that game against the Rams. He very easy could have

930
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 5: packed it in like I had that fumble it cost us.

931
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 5: He never did, and he came up with the biggest play,

932
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 5: scoring that touchdown. I know we all felt good for him,

933
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 5: but obviously that was such a big play.

934
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 4: How do you feel for a.

935
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 5: Guy like Dara wearing the seat on his chest making

936
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 5: a play like that.

937
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he can't say enough good things about Darray,

938
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: like whenever you need him, like he's always there to

939
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 2: show up. Remember, you know, a couple of years ago,

940
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: or Emy goes down and he's able to kicks in

941
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 2: the game, and now Wood, he goes down, he's able

942
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: to run the ball in for a touchdown. He makes

943
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 2: play after play on kickoff and on punt team. So

944
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 2: he's just a true pro. Like whenever his number is called,

945
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 2: he's there. You can count on him. He's trustworthy and

946
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 2: he makes the plays, and no play bigger than the

947
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 2: touchdown he got tonight.

948
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 5: Another guy that we didn't even know if he was

949
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 5: gonna play to night.

950
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 6: That was Kamari Lassiter.

951
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 5: Kind of started seeing him maybe turn at the end

952
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 5: of the week and then like okay, we got to

953
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 5: have him out there, and coaches, might have been the

954
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 5: best game that he played.

955
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 6: He was all over the place to play the throw

956
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 6: to Thornton.

957
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 5: I thought it was a touchdown, the fans thought it

958
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 5: was a touchdown, and he punched through the hands like

959
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 5: he's taught. He came up big, and then after a

960
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 5: few plays after that, he's blitzing had the interception.

961
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 6: I don't know if there's any more Kamara Laser could

962
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 6: have done tonight.

963
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 2: What a great game, man, What an outstanding game by him,

964
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 2: and even more so that you know it was tough

965
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 2: for him to practice all week. I think he's dealing,

966
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: you know, with an injury, but he sucked it up,

967
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 2: went out there and not only it just played, but

968
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 2: he played big time ball for us. When the ball

969
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 2: is up in the air, we knew they were gonna

970
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: try to take some shots. He goes up and makes

971
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 2: a play, takes the football away, just constantly around the

972
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 2: football and he's an outstanding on corner in this league.

973
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 2: And I always get such joy watching Kamara playoff because

974
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: he's gonna make some type of play.

975
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 4: Wasn't the physical, big hit plays today.

976
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 2: But it's the ball skills being able to go up

977
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 2: and take the football when we needed it most.

978
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 4: It's a great, great game by Kamara.

979
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 5: One thing we talked about this week, I know Mark

980
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 5: and I did, was the fact that in both games

981
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 5: last year, you didn't have five, you didn't have Jalen Petrie,

982
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 5: and you could see tonight. Obviously the big hit on

983
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 5: Hershie Rice, but the tip pick that he ends up

984
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 5: having is a big one.

985
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 6: Even though he didn't score in that drive.

986
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 5: Just having him on this defense, having him back healthy coach,

987
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 5: what does it mean for your group?

988
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 4: Jaylor's the X factor. Man.

989
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 2: You talk about a guy that he shows up every

990
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 2: single week, like wherever we need to play him wherever,

991
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 2: if it's covering, if it's stopping to run, if it's blitzing,

992
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 2: like whatever we need, He's going to be the guy

993
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: to stand up and make a play for is And

994
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: what a huge hit that he got to jar the

995
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 2: ball loose and then him just fine around all over

996
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 2: the field all the time he finds a way to

997
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 2: get an interception as well.

998
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 4: So, man, I love watching Jalen play football.

999
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 5: I know the offense kind of had some tough sledding

1000
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 5: there in the third quarter, but CJ made some plays

1001
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 5: tonight when he needed to, and he took care of

1002
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 5: the ball for the most part tonight. You know, there

1003
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 5: were a couple of plays he had to dirt, but

1004
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 5: he made huge plays. A couple throw the Higgins were

1005
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 5: huge in.

1006
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 6: The second half.

1007
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 5: What'd you think of the way your quarterback played tonight.

1008
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 2: Coach, Yeah, I thought he made great decisions and versus

1009
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: a really tough defense and pressure you a lot. Like,

1010
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: I thought he made some really good decisions. As we

1011
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 2: call him, some sacks, saving plays when it's not there,

1012
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 2: just dirt in the football and let's get on to

1013
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 2: the next play. Thought him moving around, being able to

1014
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 2: escape the pocket, keeping his eyes down field, make some

1015
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 2: critical throws right, getting the one the Woody, getting the

1016
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 2: one to Nico. Like a couple of big plays there,

1017
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 2: extending drives. I mean, he did a really nice job

1018
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 2: and a tough environment.

1019
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 4: Look as loud.

1020
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 2: It was hard to communicate, but I thought he handled

1021
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 2: handling it really well and proud of him. Just battling

1022
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 2: again second week back, did a really great job of

1023
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 2: finding a way to make a play to help us

1024
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:47,919
Speaker 2: win the game.

1025
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 5: Mental fortitude two weeks in row on the road, tough

1026
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 5: places to play and you get w's what does that

1027
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 5: say about your team, coach.

1028
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 2: And we're ready for any environment, wherever we have to go,

1029
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 2: whatever we have to do. Everybody just remains focused, like

1030
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 2: everybody's dial then on the task at hand. This is

1031
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: doing your job to the best of your ability, and

1032
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 2: find a way to finish in the fourth quarter.

1033
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 3: Spot the ball, let's play coach.

1034
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 4: Congratulations all right, things.

1035
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: Though, there's Johnny Harris with Demko Ryans after the game.

1036
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: Now Jayden and Higgins. Let's hear some of this in

1037
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: the locker room music pumping everybody pumped up after the

1038
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: win over the Chiefs.

1039
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 5: Jaydan Higgins, how's the wind field in Kansas City?

1040
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 6: I mean, it's your first time here. You gotta win.

1041
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 6: I guess it's just normal to you.

1042
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 3: But it's been a long time coming.

1043
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 4: How's it feel?

1044
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 12: It feels great?

1045
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 4: Great.

1046
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 12: The team did a great job game. My hand got

1047
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 12: the Dubmans.

1048
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 6: That's how that matters.

1049
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 5: Number of big third down catches, I mean, how did

1050
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 5: it happen?

1051
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 6: Take me through some of those. I mean a third

1052
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 6: and seventeen.

1053
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 5: I don't think you guys scored in that drive, but

1054
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 5: just coming up big and get.

1055
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 6: It out of the shadow of your own goal post. Yeah,

1056
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 6: for sure.

1057
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 12: You know, a couple of those players were really just

1058
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 12: j scramblay. You know, they're trying to make something with

1059
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 12: this beat. So I was just you know, playing with

1060
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 12: them and sticking to my rules. And then another other

1061
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 12: player I had just you know, making the play.

1062
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 5: When it came to me, you had that third and

1063
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 5: you found yourself open.

1064
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 6: Do you realize how big a play it was at

1065
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 6: that moment?

1066
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 12: For sure? Whenever we can move these digs and you know,

1067
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,959
Speaker 12: keep the changs moving is definitely big for the team,

1068
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 12: and ultimately we got to win this all that matters.

1069
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 3: All right.

1070
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: There's Johnny with Jayden Higgins after the game, and Higgins

1071
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: a couple of big catches in the second half, and

1072
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: I know CJ wasn't exactly voluminous with the completions after halftime,

1073
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,240
Speaker 1: but they got the job done, made the dart throws

1074
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: when he had to, and the Texans walk away with

1075
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,960
