Speaker 1: as well. So three twenty five, the game has been

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: flexing the afternoon. There are eight games at noon, there

24
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: are seven games at three twenty five, and then a

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Sunday night game that will include the Niners and the

26
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. For all of the NFC kits and kimmodles,

27
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: if you will, that's gonna be a big one on

28
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night. But that's for the NFC. That's for them

29
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: to figure out. The Texans play the Titans on Sunday

30
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: at three twenty five, So a little extra times, sleep in,

31
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more time to play out in the

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: parking lot with the tailgates and you got it, get

33
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: your tailgates in. Maybe it's a perfect time to do it.

34
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: So we got man, we got a lot this week.

35
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: You've got the Academy Sports Outdoors Texas Bowl, you got

36
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: Pokes Viaggies, got Oklahoma State versus Texas st M. That's Friday,

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: five forty five, I believe, and then you've got game Sunday,

38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: three twenty five. Kicks just so you know, I know

39
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: your ticket is gonna say noon, but that game has

40
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: been flexed to three twenty five, so we gotta make

41
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: sure we're on the same page on that. You don't

42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: come rolling all if you want to come into noon,

43
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: I guess because you can't then open the doors, do they.

44
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, you'll probably have to wait a little bit,

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: but it's give you more time sleep in the morning.

46
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: He'll get in the afternoon and see the Texans win

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: game number eleven. All right, let's dive into this show.

48
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Brian Anger Bangers is gonna join us

49
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: a little A little while later, Drew Dorty caught up

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: with him for a Jews Dirty dozen, plus the General

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: Jean McClean is gonna join us later in the show

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: as well. Let's kick off the show as we always do,

53
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: with some hot raids and hot reads brought to you.

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: Buy Geico fifteen minute can save you fifteen percent or

55
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: more on motorcycle and or car insurance. And how read

56
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: I'd like to give you on Monday is just a

57
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: little dance round the league. What happened yesterday? What a wild,

58
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: wild weekend it was in the NFL, and it started

59
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: obviously on Saturday. The first game out of the shoot

60
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: was our game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Texas twenty

61
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: three twenty NOL that but also on Saturday, a New

62
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: England Patriots locked up the AFCAST in a game that

63
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: went down to the final gun. Patriots down seventeen thirteen

64
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter, but eleven big points Nick

65
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Folk twenty yard field goal, Rex Burkhead one yard run

66
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: and then a two point conversion from Brady Edelman gave

67
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots a twenty four to seventeen lead. Brady through

68
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: for two seventy one and a touchdown. Sony Michelle ran

69
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: for ninety six, and the Patriots ran for one forty three. Now,

70
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: one thing that you can really do against the Bills, guess,

71
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: is running the football, and the Patriots did that. They

72
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: also racked up four hundred and fourteen total yards as

73
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots get a twenty four to seventeen win. The

74
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: Patriots lock up lock up the AFC East. Will it

75
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: be enough to lock up a bye where they've got

76
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: to beat the Dolphins this week? I believe that's on

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: the schedule. They do that, then they lock up the

78
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: by the number two seed and then the Chiefs would

79
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: be the three or the four. The Texans would be

80
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: the three or the four at that point, but the

81
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: Patriots when they afc East, the Bills locked up the

82
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: five seed. Can't do any worse with some of the

83
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: other things that went on, and a massive game took

84
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: place in Santa Clara. The forty nine Ers beat the

85
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: Rams thirty four thirty one. A big blown coverage by

86
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 1: the Ram late in this game. Late in this game

87
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: allowed Jimmy Garoppolo to find Emmanuel Sanders for forty six

88
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: big yards forty six to the two forty eighty three

89
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: against Garoppolo was sacked six times and he did throw

90
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: two interceptions, but he did have a touchdown as well.

91
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: As the Niners followed the lead of Emmanuel Sanders low

92
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: way down the field kicked the field goal on the

93
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: last play of the game, Robbie Gold from thirty three.

94
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: It's cold thirty four thirty one. Rams hung in there

95
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: for as long as they could. Jared Goff through three

96
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: twenty three and two touchdowns. Tyler Higbee and Robert Woods

97
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: both went over one hundred yards receiving, but it wasn't enough.

98
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: The Rams will be home for the holidays or the

99
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: rest of the holidays, I guess, or for the playoffs

100
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: for that matter. The forty nine Ers that win are

101
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: now tied at twelve and three with the New Orleans Saints,

102
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: potentially with the Powers and three teams tied at twelve

103
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: and three, and they're still not locked up in the

104
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: first place the second place there. But nothing is settled

105
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: on the NFC nothing. In fact, the forty nine Ers

106
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: could lose Sunday night to the Seahawks and finish as

107
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: the sixth seed. They could win and finish as the

108
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: number one. I mean, it's the range of what can

109
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: happen over the NFC is just amazing. But the forty

110
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: nine Ers beat the Rams thirty four thirty one to

111
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: give them that opportunity to rise or fall this following

112
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: Sunday with the game, it's flex to the evening the

113
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: Seahawks and the Niners, which will take place in Century

114
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: Link in Seattle. Speaking of Seattle, they took one on

115
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: the chin the good teams this year. If you think

116
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: about teams that have double digit wins, you can go

117
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: down the list of each team and find a loss

118
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: where you go wah The Texans had the Buccaneers. I'm

119
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: sorry the Broncos. The forty nine ers had one to

120
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: the Falcons, the Saints had one to the Falcons, and

121
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: the Seahawks had one. Yesterday, the Seahawks lose by two

122
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns two touchdowns to the Arizona Cardinals. Kenyan Drake went

123
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: crazy at eight yard touchdown run that was about half

124
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: of the one sixty sixty gain on the ground. He

125
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: had two rushing touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald four catches and a touchdown.

126
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray went out of this game with a hamstring issue.

127
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: Does sound like he's going to be able to play

128
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: this weekend. But Brett Hunley came in kind of guided

129
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: the ship a little bit or just enough, and the

130
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals going to Seattle to get a win. The starting

131
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: today though, Chandler Jones. He had four sacks. How impressive

132
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: were his sacks. He was the third leading rusher all

133
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals based on sack yard. He had four sacks

134
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: for thirty six yards. Kyler Murray ran for forty He

135
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: had thirty six and lost yard. Chandler Jones was a dude.

136
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: Now he's on the verge of potentially racking up twenty

137
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: four the season. Good on him, but what a huge

138
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: win for the Arizona Cardinals. The Chiefs played on Sunday

139
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: night against the Bears. It was Mahomes v. Trubisky. This

140
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: is what everybody had been wanting to see. Two quarterbacks

141
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: from the class at twenty seventh, and it went ugly.

142
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: It was U G L y and you ain't got

143
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: no alibi as in Trubisky eighteen of thirty four one

144
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: fifty seven, sacked three times, no touchdowns, no interceptions, no impact,

145
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: sixty five point four rating. Patrick Mahomes, on the other hand,

146
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: twenty three to thirty three for two fifty one, threw

147
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, sacked only once, and had a one twelve

148
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: rating plus Pahomes also had a twelve yard touchdown run.

149
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: Complete domination by one of the hotter teams in the league,

150
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. They move to eleven and four,

151
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: and all take for them is to win this week

152
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: and the Patriots loss, and the Chiefs will have the

153
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: buy a Chiefs win along with the Patriots win, the

154
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs become the three, the Patriots are the two, and

155
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: the Texans would then be the four seed. The Chiefs

156
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: loss and the Texans win, and the Texans moved to

157
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: the three in Kansas City would fall to the four.

158
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City would play Buffalo, and the Texans, who at

159
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: the three would then play a gago of teams. They're

160
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: three teams that are still alive, Pittsburgh, Tennessee or Oakland.

161
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: Oakland's got They're the team that's got the most to do.

162
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: And speaking of Oakland, the reason the Raiders are still

163
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: alive is because they went to La, one of the

164
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: raiders former homes, and took on the LA Chargers and

165
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: it was a Raider fest. Philip Rivers had to go

166
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: to a silent count. Couldn't hear in the huddle in

167
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: a home game. That's been like that for a while

168
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: for the Chargers. They're going to a new stadium next year.

169
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: Will they go into that game with a new quarterback?

170
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: It remains to be seen. Philt not a terrible day

171
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: to seventy nine two hundred seventy nine yards on twenty

172
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: seven to thirty nine, But the Chargers couldn't run the

173
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: ball to save their lives. Nineteen yards, nineteen yards, nineteen

174
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: yards on sixteen carries. It was quite the opposite for

175
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders. DeAndre Washington ran eighty five yards and a touch.

176
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: Derek Carr had rushing touchdown, Hunter Renfroll had a fifty

177
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: six yard catching run kind of like you did against us,

178
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: that put the Raiders in the lead. They never looked back.

179
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: They win this one twenty four seventeen, and the Raiders

180
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: needed all kinds of things to happen on Sunday, and

181
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: they did, which included the Colts winning, which included the

182
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: Titans losing, which included the Steelers losing, and the Rounds losing.

183
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: All those things happened to keep the Raiders alive. Now

184
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: this week, the Raiders need more things. But the biggest

185
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: thing they've got to do because they got to take

186
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: care of their own business, and they'll be taking on

187
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: the Broncos, who moved to six and nine with a

188
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: twenty seven to seventeen win over the Detroit Lions. Philip

189
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: Lindsay did Philip Lindsay things. Nineteen carries, one hundred nine

190
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: yards and a touch. Drew Locke not great, but okay,

191
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty three for one ninety two and

192
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown nearly one hundred rating, and Dave Seawan Hamilton

193
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: stepped up six catches sixty five yards and a touch.

194
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: Broncos get a twenty seven to seventeen win. They score

195
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: seventeen in the second half to run away with that.

196
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: The Broncos are six and nine, so the Raiders could

197
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: finish eight and eight with a win, but the Broncos win.

198
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: Fress craziest things were those two teams will finish tie

199
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: at seven and nine in second place in the West,

200
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: behind the Kansas City Chiefs. Now that won't matter the

201
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Texans because the Texas will have to play the Chiefs again.

202
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: And we know that next year the Texans will play

203
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Chiefs, and I believe the Patriots

204
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: will be at home and the Chiefs at Arrowhead. I

205
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: believe that's the way they'll go because they all finished

206
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: in first place. We were scheduled to play the Ravens

207
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: as the AFC North, to play the entire AFC North,

208
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: then that I'll be here, so they'll play Patriots in

209
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: Ravens here and go to Kansas City. I believe that's

210
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: the way it's gonna go, based on finish from this

211
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: year and those teams all being a top The division

212
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: does four division winners. Speaking of division winners, the NFC

213
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: South Division winner was decided long ago. The New Orleans

214
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: Saints went to Tennessee and this is a pretty entertaining game.

215
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Note Derrick Henry, he's resting for Week seventeen because in

216
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: all honesty, the Titans didn't need to win this one.

217
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: They had to have next week. They got some help

218
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: with the Steelers losing. So now the Titans win and

219
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: they're in. But they didn't on Sunday because Michael Thomas

220
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: went off. He broke the single season reception record of

221
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison twelve catches for one hundred and thirty six

222
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Jered Cook had two touchdowns, receiving

223
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: Drew Brees through for two seventy nine and three touchdowns.

224
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara got in the end zone for the first

225
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: time since Week three. I did not stutter since Week three.

226
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill very good again. Seventeen to twenty seven toward

227
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: two seventy two and three touchdowns to one thirty three

228
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: point six rating. So over the last seven weeks he's

229
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: thrown for over one hundred thirty three point six rating

230
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: every single week but one. And who is that against?

231
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: That's right, that Texans defense last week. So Titans still lose,

232
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: Saints win. Saints moved to twelve and three, the forty nine,

233
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: the twelve and three. The Packers win tonight, the Packers

234
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: will be twelve and three. So lots still to be

235
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: settled in the NFC. We do know that the Saints

236
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: have won the NFC South. The East, well, we don't

237
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: know who's gonna win the East because there's still one

238
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: game left to go, and that'll be between the Eagles

239
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: and the Giants and the Redskins and the Cowboys. I

240
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: believe that's correct. I could have said that wrong, but

241
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles will take on the Giants. That's right. Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, Redskins.

242
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: So I got that right. The Eagles win that game,

243
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: they will win a division. Why because their defense came

244
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: up large. They win seventeen to nine. That defense was

245
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: all over Ezekiel Elliott held him forty seven yards three

246
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: point six yards per carry. They held Dak Prescott really

247
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: without doing anything impactful of two hundred and sixty five yards,

248
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, no interceptions. Dallas Goddard had a touchdown for

249
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Miles Sanders is a dude. He had a

250
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: touchdown run. The Eagles get it done. At home, and

251
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: now they've got to do's go beat the Giants and

252
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: Danny Dimes Daniel Jones to win the NFC East. We

253
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: all thought all along, the Cowboys will just mess around.

254
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: They'll go win this thing. That's you know, that's what

255
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: they'll do. No, the Eagles now can win it with

256
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: a win on Sunday, or with the Redskins win over

257
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Redskins not beating the Cowboys. I don't think

258
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: the Giants are either, So the Eagles could wrap up

259
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: the NFC East with a win. After that seventeen to

260
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: nine win over the Dallas Cowboys, the Ravens they locked

261
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: up the number one seed over in the AFC with

262
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: a thirty one to fifteen win. Lamar Jackson did. Lamar

263
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: thinks through for two hundred thirty eight yards and three

264
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns and one twenty point one rating. He ran for

265
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and three yards. How many quarterbacks do that?

266
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: My goodness. Mark Andrews had two receiving touchdowns. Mark Ingram

267
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: had a receiving touchdown. The Ravens jumped all over the

268
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: Browns statistically, physically, anything you can come up with. The

269
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: Ravens hammered the Browns the Ravens the number one seed.

270
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: They can rest guys this week. They will not play

271
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: the following week because they'll have a bye, and then

272
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: they will await winners of wild card rounds, which could

273
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: include the Chiefs, the Patriots, the Texans, the Titans, the Steelers,

274
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders, and the Buffalo Bills. Any one of those

275
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: teams can be going to Baltimore and that's going to

276
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: be a tough, tough ball game. So there you go.

277
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: Those are the important games that went on this weekend

278
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL. We get back, we'll have Briant Anger

279
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: on the show doing a Drew's dirty doesn't get a

280
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: chance to meet a little Finally, our punner, Brian Anger

281
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: had a tremendous game against the former team Tampa Bay

282
00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Bangers is next weeks. Looks it over to

283
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: head down. Here's the snap on target, man, here's the

284
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: punt Anger with the reverse spin, and it's gonna be

285
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: a fair catch of the four yard line. But that

286
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: was awesome. I mean, Brian Anger was just flat out

287
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: awesome on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Bucks, his former

288
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: team or one of his formers team. He put that

289
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: ball right there on the floor. And the thing is

290
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: the Texas had two guys they're ready to down at

291
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: the Spencer Snell. Did you catch it? Do you let

292
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: it go? I mean, if you let it bounce, the

293
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: Texans can kind of protect it from going in the

294
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: end zone and then not pick it up, not down

295
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: it and let more clock run. I don't know if

296
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: you did the right thing completely, but I don't think

297
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: he did the wrong thing. That's neither here or there.

298
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: The punt was amazing. Brian Anger has been phenomenal last

299
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: two weeks on the road. He has punted exceptionally well

300
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: when the Texas Texans have needed it. He had three

301
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: of his five punts inside the twenty yard line. He

302
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: had the other two picked up a net of fifty

303
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: three yards. They Spencer Schnell random back what two punts

304
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: he ran back for a total of four yards. Anger

305
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: hit rockets. The cover teams were great. Man, it's been

306
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: a really good unit. I never used to really acfward

307
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: to fourth Down movie special teams. Man, they've been so good.

308
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: I'm I don't mind seeing number nine come on on

309
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: the field. I love that when likely one number nine

310
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: he came on the field. I loved when Brian Anger

311
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: gets on the field and those two got something in common.

312
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: They love to fish. So with that in mind, let's

313
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: get to know Brian Anger a little bit more with

314
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: our Drew's Dirty Dozen. Here's Drew Doherty with punter Brian Anger.

315
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm here with punter Brian Anger. Brian, what's the deal

316
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: with spearfishing? It's fantastic. Yeah, yep, get to do a

317
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: lot back in Tampa. Water is usually pretty warm out there.

318
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: That cool down right now, which is good. It brings

319
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: a ton of fish and closer and the cooler the water,

320
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: the less people like to go to, so you kind

321
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: of have an open sea. So it's it's it's awesome.

322
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: It looks like a lot of fun, but it's usually

323
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: something that people were stranding on the desert island get into,

324
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's not just like a natural Hey, let's

325
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: go get a line. How did you get into spearfishing?

326
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: Because you grew up in Camarrio, California. You went to

327
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: cal But how do you get into spearfishing living there

328
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: and then doing what you do Now? I've always been

329
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: a ocean guy, grew up surfing and bodyboarding and everything

330
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: in the water. So one of my older brothers and

331
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: I talked about potentially getting into it, and you've got

332
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: to deal with more stuff out there. They've got great

333
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: white sharks. It's kind of a breeding ground for some

334
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: of the juveniles. So it's a different kind of murky

335
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: water and kelp forests and stuff, which would be cool.

336
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: But like I said before, warm water I got started

337
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. More warm and more clear water. Don't have

338
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: to go as far off to get into deep water

339
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: in California Jacksonville. You've got to go away far off.

340
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: We'd go twenty mile and being like eighty feet of water, right,

341
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: but you've got tons of fish species. Yeah, okay, so

342
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: clear things up for me because I'm I was under

343
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: the impression that you're standing in like shin deep water

344
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: and your spear and fish. That's not the case. No, No,

345
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: we're going we usually go like forty to one hundred

346
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: feet of going down deep. Yeah. So you're wearing like

347
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: a snorkel in a mask, wearing a mask, got a

348
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: full tank and oh you're scuba diving spear fishing. Yeah. Yeah,

349
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: so you had to go through all the scuba training

350
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: and then you you have to train to be a spearfisher,

351
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: or you're supposed to have a advanced open water to

352
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: be able to that's the classification. I guess. So they're certification,

353
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: so you've got to have that. Second, it starts with

354
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: open water you can go to like sixty feet, and

355
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: then advanced open water you can spearfish with a charter.

356
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: I've got my own boat, so don't quite have to

357
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: have it, but but I do have that certification, so nice.

358
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: How often you get to go out on them on

359
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: your boat a couple times a week potentially. It just

360
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: depends on the weather. The golf will get choppy real

361
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: quick and that storm will pick up and you gotta

362
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: pay attention what's going on. But a lot of the

363
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: times it's it's also very good. And like I said before,

364
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: it's you get that cold weather, not many people want

365
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: to go out, so you've got less pressure on the

366
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: fish and you can hit a lot of different spots.

367
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's very very rewarding. Not bad, man, that's

368
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: not bad. So back to surfing, though you said you

369
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: started out as a surfer, started out doing some surfing.

370
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: Have you done any of that lately? No? You miss it?

371
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: I miss it. Yeah, I get back to California, and

372
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: I'll do it maybe once a year. Well, I go

373
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: back home the Atlantic. In Jacksonville, there weren't many ways

374
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: if like a hurricane or a tropical storm game. So yeah,

375
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: the wind would pick up and you got other stuff

376
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: to do when when a hurricanes coming, right, Yeah, but

377
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: there's no waves in the golf in Tampa, so don't

378
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: get to enjoy that kind of a long lines of fishing.

379
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: What's an animal that scares you when you're near it?

380
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: Bull sharks? Bullshots? Not good? All right, you're the first

381
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: player that I've talked to you that's actually named an

382
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: animal that's in the water. I've heard bear, I've heard snakes,

383
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: So bullshark is definitely a good one to have. What

384
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: are some of your nicknames? Brian Anger, who gave you

385
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: that was popular, had it in high school and then

386
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: in college. It really caught on just a combination of

387
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: your first initial and your last name. Yeah, yeah, and

388
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: you're booming punts. I'm guessing right, Yeah, it's very fitting.

389
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: I guess Bangy was one of the first ones. What

390
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: somebody didn't want to say Banger, so they said that.

391
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: I think we had Legatron. Yeah, what was that like?

392
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: When rich Eisen had John did the punters give you

393
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: the T shirt and all that? That seemed pretty cool. Yeah,

394
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: that was cool. I had no idea what was going on.

395
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: I was a football fan kind of just because I

396
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: played football. Started junior of high schools when it kind

397
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: of took off for me and I got recruited. But

398
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: I'd never been to a football game before, never really

399
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: followed it. I was more of an outdoorsy guy and

400
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: less sporty, I guess, so I didn't know what the

401
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: heck was going on. Warren Moon was there. O. My

402
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: brother came with me and they're talking about Hall of

403
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: Fame stuff, and my brothers just like, are you kidding me?

404
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: You didn't realize that you were with this guy and

405
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: I had I had no idea, so yeah, it was.

406
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: It was crazy. He was a big deal around here. Yeah,

407
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: and I grew up. I'm much older than you, but

408
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: he was awesome, Like he was on some of these

409
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: teams that anyways, that will be off another path there. Okay,

410
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: let's rank the Brian's. And I know they don't all start,

411
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,679

00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: Not much? Not much, okay, but no scrubs by tales

460
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: in case we're gonna hold you to that. Okay. What

461
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: would your career be if you were not a football player?

462
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: Probably biology? Marine biology? Okay. I was integrative biology major

463
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: at cow fancy name for there's two branches. Once settling

464
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: molecular biology, no fun. The other side was ecology, so

465
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: study of animals and stuff. So that's awesome. Yeah, would

466
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: be into that. When's the last time you cooked something yesterday?

467
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: Would you cook taketos? Taketos? You're doing well. You are

468
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: along with DeAndre Carter, you are along with Duke Johnson

469
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: a player who has recently cook something that I've interviewed

470
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: on this interview. You are not like Taiwan Jones who

471
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: said the last time he cooks something was three years

472
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: ago on Mother's Day for his mom. So we cook

473
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, that's will cook probably four times a week.

474
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: Burgers or pizza burgers. What's on the perfect Burger's? What?

475
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: How does Brian Anger make his perfect burger? Just a

476
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: classic with avocado and bacon, So avocado bacon and avocado, bacon, lettuce.

477
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm not a big tomato guy, No tomato or onion.

478
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: Catchup mustard obviously, and cheese cheddar cheese, cheddar cheese. Brian Anger,

479
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: this has been a Drews dozen. Thank you so much

480
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: for the time, my friend for having me. I appreciate

481
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: that was really fun and it makes me a little

482
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: bit envious that we haven't gotten Brian Anger for any

483
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: time with Mark and I right here in studio. But

484
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad you got a chance to catch up with him.

485
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: And it was funny because on Saturday, at the end

486
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: of the game, and so it's a little peep behind

487
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: a curtain. So with about five or six minutes of

488
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: game time, left maybe a little bit less. Nathan words,

489
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: who is is one of our just great, great dude

490
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: in pr and he is always down in the sideline

491
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: so he coordinates all of our interviews afterwards, and so

492
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: he always comes to me after or near the end

493
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: of the game, and he's like, Okay, who do you

494
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: want to who do you want to interview in the

495
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 1: locker room? And so I'm kind of going, ah, yeah, man,

496
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: kind of like trying to figure it out, like who

497
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: makes sense? Like do I get Robe? Well? And I

498
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: try not to duplicate, and I had Bradley after the

499
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: Patriots game. I'm like, okay, well, I haven't had Justin

500
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: since Week two, so Justin seems like a good one

501
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: to use. Okay, we'll keep Justin on there. And he goes, hey,

502
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: this is kind of a wild card, but what about Anger.

503
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really good idea considering how

504
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: Brian had punted the ball in that game. But there

505
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: were so many guys that I felt like I had

506
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: an opportunity. Was like, yeah, Justin Reid, you know, he's

507
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: been here for a couple of years. Yet let me

508
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: talk to Jay Red. Let me see if I can

509
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: get Justin and he's so loquacious and you can get

510
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: you know, do you go on for forever with Justin?

511
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: And so let's do Justin and then let's you know,

512
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: have Brian as as a backup. I'm pushing for Brian Anger. Now.

513
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: You're really good, very very good. He's good at punning

514
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: the football. Two all right, coming up, we will have

515
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: a little chat with our good friend the General, John mcclin. No,

516
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: not John McClean from die Hard, the non Christmas movie

517
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 1: that everybody thinks is a Christmas movie. Our John McClean,

518
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, Hall of Famer Sickham Bears all the good

519
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: stuff that goes with the General will join us next

520
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: right here in Texans All Access final play. Right here,

521
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: Winston takes the snap with two seconds left. He steps up,

522
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: he throws to the left sideline. It's dropped. The game

523
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: is over. The Texans are the AFC South champions again.

524
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: They knock off tap of a twenty three to twenty

525
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: and he raised their record to ten and five Houston

526
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: champions of the AFC South. That was music to all

527
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: of our ears. Mark Vannimers saying the tech for AFC

528
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: South Champs yet again, fourth time in five years, sixth

529
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: time in nine years. And I know all of us

530
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: want us to do something great with it. We all do, players, coaches, staff,

531
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: this whole building, this whole city, Texas fans everywhere want

532
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: us to do more. Yeah. Absolutely, But you can't take

533
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: that next step without taking the first step, the first

534
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: step when Division did that, got more to do on

535
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, and then the journey begins

536
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: with twelve teams in the playoffs and your Texans are

537
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: one of them, and we'll be playing at home. Now,

538
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: we'll see if it's Saturday or Sunday. My guest is

539
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: Saturday and more than likely Buffalo. But a lot of

540
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: things happened this weekend we didn't think we're going to

541
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: happen in the NFL, and it changed the landscape everything.

542
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: So a bunch of stuff can happen this weekend that

543
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: can change who, where, when all that. So we'll let

544
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: that play out and to kind of get a gauge

545
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,239
Speaker 1: on all of that, what happened Saturday, would happen over

546
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: the weekend and what the future looks like, the short

547
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 1: term future. It's our good friend of General John McLean,

548
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: So your thoughts on wrapping up the division and what's

549
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: to come. I think that the winning four division titles

550
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: in five years great accomplishment. Now they got to win

551
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: a playoff game or two, especially the first round game

552
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: at Hall My Kesson. It's going to be against Buffalo.

553
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting. I'm going to write a column

554
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: for Christmas Day. Instead of uplifting, it's going to be

555
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: depressing about Houston's history with the potential teams that they

556
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: could play, meaning Buffalo, Tennessee, or Pittsburgh. They got history

557
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: with all three. But I think they should be able

558
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: to win that first round game. I think they learned

559
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: a lesson last year when Indianapolis came in here and watch.

560
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: This is the second year in a row Titans win

561
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: their last game. They're in the playoffs. Last year they

562
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: added at home and they lost to the Colts when

563
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck had a great game. Now they've got to

564
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: win here hit the Texans beat them Sunday. You don't

565
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: want to play a team three times in four weeks

566
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: and try to beat him three times in four weeks.

567
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times has been done, if

568
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: it's ever been done, but the NFL flexing that game,

569
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: they put all the big games late so they'd all

570
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: be done at the same time. And what I'm curious

571
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: is Kansas City playing an early game. Yes, it's weird.

572
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: So if the Chiefs win, then Bill O'Brien knows when

573
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: they play the Titans that they're going to be the

574
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: fourth seed no matter how the game comes out. I

575
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: ask him, matter the game, he said, we're playing a

576
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: game to win. But if you've got nothing to play

577
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: for him Watson having what we think is a sprained ankle,

578
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: that it might be good to rest him for a week.

579
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: And then the other thing I'm interested in, if J. J.

580
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: Watt's going to come back for the playoff game, they'll

581
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: need to activate him this week so he can have

582
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: two weeks practice even if he's limited, but to have

583
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: him out there just in practice again and to get

584
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: him ready for when he does play. All right, John,

585
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: I want to take a step back. We'll get into

586
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: a lot of this, but I want to go back

587
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: to Saturday and just your thoughts about getting a win.

588
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: Getting two road wins within six days against two of

589
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: the hottest teams in the league. It wasn't a mona Lisa,

590
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: to say the least. It was more like a Jackson Pollock,

591
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: but people do pay a lot of money for Jackson

592
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: Pollock painting. What did you think overall of what the

593
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: Texans were able to do against the Bucks and getting

594
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: that win, I thought it was more like a Salvador Dolly.

595
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: By the way. They won both games on the road

596
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: against teams with four game winning streaks with quarterbacks who

597
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: were red hot, and the defense and the special teams

598
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: have really stepped up, and that's a key. You know

599
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: they'd have a block field goal two fifteen. Angelo Blacks

600
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: has done it in the last two games. Brian Anger's

601
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: punting has been fabulous. Kimmy fair Baron's punt was good.

602
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,719
Speaker 1: I mean, they Bucks backed up the whole time, and

603
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: the coverage teams have been great, so Brad Feeley's special

604
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: teams have really been making an impact. Defense had season

605
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: at five turnover. The offense was terrible. They couldn't run

606
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: against the league's number one run defense, and in the

607
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: first half, Bill kept calling Carlos id on first down.

608
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: He kept getting stuffed. So you're putting Watson in the

609
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: worst situation possible second third and long, and they've been

610
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: turned the ball over too much. The last three games,

611
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to play better on offense, and

612
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: then they need to play as well on defense and

613
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: special teams and it won't be an issue. But the

614
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: offense has got to play better because if they're gonna play,

615
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: if they're gonna beat Tennessee in Buffalo, they got to

616
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: get a good offensive performance, not have a repeat of

617
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: last year's playoff performance by the offense. John, what do

618
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: you think about things from the Titans perspective? They've had

619
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: two huge games at home, they lost both of them.

620
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: They had their chances against the Saints, but ultimately the

621
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: Saints were too overwhelming for them. What do you think

622
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: about their situation moving forward? They were Lartino in their

623
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: game and they did it without Barry Kenry, and then

624
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: they were down by three and Ryan Tanniel complained a

625
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: pass to Khalifa Raymond to the New Orleans forty and

626
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: he got it in the head. It was clear as day.

627
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: The announcers never even brought it up. Mike Rabel complained afterward,

628
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: and I don't blame him. It was a shot to

629
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: the kid's head. He fumbled, he stayed down and Saintston's

630
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: coordinate was over. But they know where they stand. You

631
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 1: win in your ind and you lose in your out,

632
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they're hoping that the Chiefs win that

633
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: early game and built acides to rest some of the starters,

634
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: which would certainly help them. Remember I think it was

635
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 1: in two thousand and sixteen when they played the Titans

636
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: and the Texans could have beaten them, have been finished

637
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: ten six, Bill rested starters and then at nine and

638
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: seven and gave them a winning record. But you know, really,

639
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: if you don't have anything to play for, you should

640
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: rest some of your players, especially those guys who are

641
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: beaten up. The Tennessee Titans. Will they bring back Ryan

642
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: Tannehill next year or is it depending on what he

643
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: does Sunday and potentially in the playoffs, or is he

644
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: definitely coming back to Tennessee next year. He's definitely come back.

645
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: They're trying to resign him. I mean, he's not going

646
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: to get a long term deal, but if he'll be

647
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: thirty two next year, so if he could get a

648
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: three year he should be happy. And he also should

649
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: stay there because he's got a system that fits him,

650
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: a coordinator and Arthur Smith and terminology that fits him

651
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: and he's played really well. Like yesterday, he had three

652
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns and no interceptions. Their defense blew that game, given

653
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 1: up thirty eight points. His rating was one thirty again.

654
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: So Tannehill has earned a new contract from the Titans.

655
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: Derrek Kenjy's also up. Wouldn't surprise me he didn't get

656
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: franchise because the franchise tagged for a running backs a

657
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: lot less than what you're going to pay him. Interesting

658
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: John and Jacksonville. The report is that it could be

659
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: another tour of duty for Dave Caldwell and Doug Morron

660
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: the head coach, now that Tom Coplin is gone. What

661
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on that? You think there's a lot

662
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: of validity there. I would love to see Doug Morron

663
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 1: come back. I like him. I think he's fun to cover.

664
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: People there like him, you know, he's a good guy.

665
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: He had him and they lost twenty four to twenty

666
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: at New England in the SC Championship game. They started

667
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: the next game three and one. Then they've been terrible since.

668
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: So he had him almost in the Super Bowl. Now

669
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: they're in last place and so i'd love to see

670
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: Moron back. I don't know anything about Calwell other than

671
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: he's been the general manager the whole time. So I

672
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: don't know if this means shy Con would bring in

673
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: somebody like Coplin or if he just let Calwll do

674
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: it again. Because he was the one making the fatual

675
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: decisions before they had that brill and I did of

676
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: bringing Copland and the name paid Nick Foles all that money.

677
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: What do they do at quarterback? Do they go with Minshew?

678
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: Do they open it up? They got they got not

679
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: a problem, but they got decisions. They gotta make a

680
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: quarterback no way. I mean bring back the issue, Yeah,

681
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: but don't bring him back to be your starter. But

682
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: that's just my thoughts. John, Let's talk about maybe the

683
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: most glorious thing that happened on Sunday, and that was Hey,

684
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys losing? Be them having issues? What they're

685
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: playing on the way home? John, Well, yeah, I feel

686
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: for them with that one. I'm joking. I'm joking, but

687
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: it was kind of funny. The Cowboys. What an absolute

688
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: mess that they can't even win into vision That is

689
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: just flat out awful. I'd imagine Jason Garrett is absolutely

690
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: out and there's no way that he saves it, or

691
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: is there is there a way if the Eagles losing,

692
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys win and get in and win a playoff game.

693
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: Is there any way that Jerry would entertain the thought

694
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: of bringing Jason Garrett back. All the reports and the mediars,

695
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: they'd have to make a long run in the playoffs.

696
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: At their offense yesterday and they go up against the

697
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: Eagles team, they had a lot of injuries on both

698
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, but especially on the offense, and

699
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: it was a very gallant performance by the Eagles, and

700
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: I could see the Eagles losing the Giants. Daniel Jones

701
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: had five touchdown passes, no turnovers, more than three hundred yards.

702
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: I think I saw He's the first rookie to ever

703
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: do that. So they could beat the Eagles and the Cowboys.

704
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: It's a better chance of the Eagles losing the Giants

705
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys losing. The red Skins case Kingdom, I'm guessing

706
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: will be quarterbacking against the Cowboys, so they could still

707
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: get it. But if you back into it like that,

708
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: I think he's gone. I think if the Cowboy fan

709
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't be too disappointed because that they want the division

710
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: in a playoff game. Maybe Jerry Jones looks for reasons

711
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: to keep him. Now, there's no way he can do it.

712
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: The key is who will want to work there, John,

713
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: Who's the best team in the NFC? Boy, I thought

714
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: it was Seattle. No way, I'm yeah, I'm going with

715
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: New Orleans or San Francisco right now. I'm thinking New Orleans,

716
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: although the forty nine ers are playing really well. But

717
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: I was still going with the Saints because I think

718
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 1: the Saints ago the Super Bowl against New England before

719
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: the season. I mean, that's what you go. But the

720
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: thing about it, and I know people were really upset,

721
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: And I mean I was upset. Mark was upset. You're upset,

722
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: John about losing to Denver. But you had the Seahawks

723
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: lose yesterday to the Cardinals. You had the Saints lose

724
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: to the Falcons of five weeks ago. Yeah, I mean

725
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: you You've had all these teams getting knocked off. You

726
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: had the forty nine ers. Who did the forty nine

727
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: ers lose to the Falcons? I mean all those NFC

728
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: teams lost it at two of them lost of the Falcons? Yeah,

729
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, in their own buildings. I mean, this league

730
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: is absolutely crazy. But is every team in the NFL

731
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: essentially playing for second place behind Baltimore. John Right now,

732
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens are clearly the best team in the NFL.

733
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson another tremendous game, thirty six touchdowns passing and

734
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: six interceptions. As John Arbau said, and I'm tired of this.

735
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: Not bad for a running back, you know that. Bill

736
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: Polian mentioned on the ESPN he didn't face he should

737
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: play running back. He said he'd like to see him

738
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: try running back, and he turned down that opportunity at

739
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: the combat because he said, I'm a quarterback. But I

740
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: think we all realize he's a quarterback. He's a great one,

741
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: and he's going to be the MVP and a good

742
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: chance of being Super Bowl MVP. Two. What about Kansas City? Though,

743
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: when you look at teams that are playing well here,

744
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: I mean the Texans are winning. I think they realize

745
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: that there's a level for them to get to performance

746
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: wise that they haven't quite achieved yet. And that's what

747
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: all the players are saying. But what about the Chiefs

748
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: right now heading into the postseason. So the Texans are winning,

749
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: but they're not playing well in all three phases. The

750
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs are. Their defense says, I don't know what's happened

751
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: to their defense. I saw somebody analyzing it saying, and

752
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: they decided to move Tyrann Matthew around. But I can't

753
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: imagine that moving him around has caused their defense to

754
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: play so well down the stretch, and they were They're

755
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs when you need to play good defense.

756
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: But remember that last time they played let's see they played,

757
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: they got beat at home by Tennessee two years ago

758
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: in the first round. Andy Reid has not been all

759
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: that good in playoff games at home. Now, last year

760
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: they got to the championship game and lost to the Patriots.

761
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: But they're a hot team, and I don't think anybody

762
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: wants to play them, especially considering how well my home

763
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: seems to play in bad weather. I'll give you one

764
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: of the reasons. They played the Chargers the Raiders. Now

765
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: they did beat the Patriots, but we know that offense

766
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: is totally flawed. They played the Broncos in a snowstorm,

767
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: and then they played Mitchell Trubisky to fighting Bears. I

768
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: mean they've you know, early on in the year, they

769
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: faced Lamar, they faced they faced DeShawn, they faced Rogers.

770
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: They then lost to a hot Tannehill team. I mean,

771
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it's just kind of like last year

772
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 1: with us. You know a lot of people were like, well, man,

773
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: well who are they beating? Who are they beating? I

774
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: mean they're beating Josh Allen at quarterback, at Dak Prescott

775
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: and all these quarters. Yeah, there's a there's a decent

776
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: part of that, I think for for Kansas City. But

777
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: here's the problem. Once you start getting hot, yeah, then

778
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 1: you start believing you can do it against Deshaun Watson

779
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson and all these other and that's all

780
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: you really need sometimes be a little bit of belief

781
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: that you can get it done. I just think somehow,

782
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: some way, this team, the Houston Texans, have to find

783
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: that next level when they get into the next month. John,

784
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. Thank you guys very much.

785
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: Mary Quick all right, that was a fun discussion with

786
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 1: the General John McClain talking about all things NFL, talking

787
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: about the game on Saturday in Tampa Bay. And I

788
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: thought the most interesting thing was talking to coach O'Brien

789
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: today during his Coaches Show, and he said it was

790
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: kind of a weird vibe Saturday, which is true. It

791
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: was overcast, there was not this huge crowd in the stands.

792
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: You're playing the second straight road game. They're out of it,

793
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: but they're playing all out. It was just a and

794
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: then it starts, you know, two plays in with a

795
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: robe interception. It was it was just kind of an odd,

796
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: strange game. Luckily your Texans were on the good side

797
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: of it at the end of it, thankfully, and that

798
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: meant Sunday he could just watch games happen, just watch

799
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: him happened. I don't know that I didn't really have

800
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 1: a rooting interest. I did at night for the Bears,

801
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: but I had to go pick my wife up from

802
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: the airport, and as I did, I was driving. I

803
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: was like, I'm listening to a a little bit of this game,

804
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: and Trumbisky i think, went three and out of the

805
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: first drive. I'm like, I'm done. I turned music on

806
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: at that point. I'm like, I'm not listening to this

807
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: because that was the only game I had rooting interest in,

808
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: and I knew Trubisky was not gonna help, and he did.

809
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: So there you go. Big thanks to John, to Brian

810
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: Anger and Drew Doherty, and to course Mark vander Meer.
