1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody, Welcome in to another edition of

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Texans All Access, say Friday edition TGIF welcome in. I'm

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: John Harris Football, I know Sidelot reporter for your Houston Texans,

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: and it's Cowboys week less than forty eight hours away

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: from the Dallas Cowboys. Entertaining your Houston Texans. Right there,

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: Jerry will kickoff is that noon. Hopefully there'll be plenty

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: of red in the stands. I'm assuming you want to

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: wear red. Maybe you can wear whatever colors you want,

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: but make sure you're wearing the logo and represented proudly

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: as we take on the Dallas Cowboys, and we will

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: break it down. Have my keys of the game in

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: our next segment, as I always do, have my predictions

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: later in the show. We'll also have Jenga playing tonight

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: with Daria Goombawalle. We also got David Hellman from Fox

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: Sports joining deep to go behind enemy sidelines. And we've

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: got Houston Methodist minutes. And I always save this from

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: our conversation from Nick Kisseri. I thought it'd be good

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: to bring it back his scouting report of the Dallas Cowboys.

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: I love asking that question. We always get about halfway

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: through the conversation with Nick transitioning from what we did

21
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: that week before the game prior to going forward getting

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: that scouting report. So we'll have Nick scouting report of

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: Das Cowboys a little later in the show. But we

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: kick off every single Friday show with Lovey Smith, who

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 1: sat down with Mark Vandermer to discuss this one coach.

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: You're from Texas, so you know the importance of playing

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: Dallas and do you think the players, I know you

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: have a lot of Texans, a lot of Houstonians, but

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: what about the guys from out of the state. Do

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: they sense a bigger meaning here perhaps does you take

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: on the Dallas Cowboys. Well, I think it's left up

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: to us to kind of educate them a little bit

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: own what it means to you know, we have high

34
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: school playoffs going on right now in football and s

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: high school football in the country, you know, it's right

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: here and getting rid of the name quite a few

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: state champs. So we're letting the guys know, you know,

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: an NFL version of the state championship. It's pretty important.

39
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: There's a history. You know, our first win of course

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: was against them, and you know, Sara, tonight we have

41
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: a little video of course, kind of going over a

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: little bit, but the guys are getting familiar with it. Okay,

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: So the one two punch they have at the running

44
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: back position, you've seen one two punches before. How does

45
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: this one compare? How do you handle their ground game? Well,

46
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: there are just seem like more and more teams have

47
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that they feel comfortable going going,

48
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, going with. But it's a lot harder. And

49
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: when you have two guys similar they're both excellent ball

50
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: players but have a different skill set. You know, one

51
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: can run in between the tackles well and can do

52
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 1: a little bit on the outside. The other one has

53
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: excellent speed of polar excellent speed of course, four to

54
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: three something whatever. Zekiel Elliott, he's a little you know,

55
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: he has a different game. But we have to be

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: ready for both. And there's a commitment to the run

57
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: no matter which tailback is in there. And we've played

58
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: better run defense lately. We'll need to do that at

59
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: this Sunday. They have Parsons. Everybody talks about him. They

60
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of talented players on defense. Coach, how

61
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: was it getting ready to face the Dallas d Well

62
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: it's it's a chore. They rush the passer as well

63
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: as anybody. They lead the league, they lead the league

64
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: in sacks. But it's just overall hard play. Parson. Yes,

65
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: he arguably best defensive player in football, but there's so

66
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: much more that they have on all three levels. But

67
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: we need to, you know, some things we need to

68
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: be able to do. We need to establish a run

69
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: and we get in passing situations, we got to block them. Coach,

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: you get Mills back under center, and you're big on execution,

71
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: improving in that department. He's at a full week of

72
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: practice to prepare for this. What are you anticipating as

73
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: he gets back into the flow. I think it matters

74
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: to practice. I think it matters to be in one

75
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: in a situation and look at from a different perspective.

76
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: We all, you know, need second chances, and most time

77
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: you get a second chance, you make the most of it.

78
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: That's where we're expecting Davis only the right way. He

79
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: stayed in the football into the game and his new

80
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: role at the time. But I know he's had a

81
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: good week of practice and he's really excited and the

82
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: rest of the football team he's excited for How's it

83
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: going to be seeing some of those Texans fans show up,

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: the traveling Texans wearing the battle read in Arlington. We're

85
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: pumped up about that they don't have to travel this

86
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: far this time, so it's a little bit more convenient trip.

87
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: And for us and Texans had been around and you

88
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: know for a long period of time. We know how

89
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: special this se is and where we are right now, Mark,

90
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: in our season, to be able to get a win

91
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: against one, a team that could win at all, would

92
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: be pretty big for our program. Lovey, thanks a lot,

93
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: good luck, Thank you all right, Mark, great stuff there

94
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: with Lovey Smith and Mark stays with me here. Okay,

95
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: can I interest you in a few numbers? Interest? Yes,

96
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: I am interested. Okay, So I wrote my daily Brew,

97
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: which during the season turns into it by the numbers,

98
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: and so I was looking at some numbers. I'll let

99
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: you questions. Okay, how many touchdowns have the Texans given

100
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: up the last three ball games? That would be Washington,

101
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: Miami and Cleveland. How many touchdowns do you think the

102
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Texans have given up in that timeframe? Well? What do

103
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: you think? What do you know? It's the same number

104
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: as how many licks does it take? To get to

105
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: the center of a tutsie roll one three yes, three

106
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: one two three. So against Washington, Washington have a nine

107
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: yard drive for a touchdown. Got good for them touchdown?

108
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: That was one right Y's Washington because Miami was two

109
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: eight play fifty nine yard drive for one touchdown. Right

110
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: a one play three yard drive for another touchdown. So

111
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: that's one of the three, the three yarder. So really

112
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: without that one, it would be two right two drives

113
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. So you're telling me the defense is

114
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: actually sneaky getting better here. I'm telling you they're not

115
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: allowing the big points, which keeps you in games, and

116
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: that's what you want to see. I witnessed us that

117
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: with last night's game, which I hope you get to. Yes,

118
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: we will definitely get that, Okay, but I have another

119
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: other question. Yeah, how many offensive touchdowns do you think

120
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: or do you know the Texans have scored the last

121
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: three games. Keep in mind the number you just said,

122
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: which was three, How many has the offense? How many

123
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: is the offense scored in the last three games? One two, two, three,

124
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: four four? Okay, so you figure that out. Texans defense

125
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: has given up three touchdowns, but some field goals, Johnny

126
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: six field goals, well, three, three and two, okay, so

127
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: how many's that eight field goals? Okay? So if you

128
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: equated two touchdowns, it's three more touchdowns. So that's six touchdowns, right,

129
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: total six score. Texans have also had some field goals too, Yeah,

130
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: but they had four touchdowns. So you can tell me

131
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: without all the turnovers and especially the pick six fumble

132
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: six variety. So let me get to my final numbers

133
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: are going. Okay, numbers five, which is how many number

134
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: of non offensive touchdowns scored against your team. How about

135
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: that you have over the last three games more offensive

136
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns than you have given up. You did get up

137
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: field goals, but you also kicked field goals too. Yeah,

138
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: but you also gave up five knots. A scooping score,

139
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Pick six against Washington, A scoop and score

140
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: against Miami, A scoop and score against Cleveland. It picks

141
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: six against Cleveland, and then of course the punt return

142
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: touchdown was broken all open with Donovan People's jones. Yeah,

143
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: that hurts a lot, it does. That hurts a lot. Well,

144
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: the silver lining there is the defense, Like I said, sneakily,

145
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: that's a correct word, getting better. All right, the defense

146
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: is getting a bit better. You wouldn't know it looking

147
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: at the final score on the record, but it is now.

148
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: The offense is not. But the offense maybe takes a

149
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: little jump this week because you're playing Dallas. They do

150
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: give up some rushing yards. We talked about this last

151
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: night this week a little bit more and Pierce Davis

152
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: Mills watch out now. I'm just hoping that somehow, some

153
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: way they put together some drive, some sustained drive, some

154
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: time consuming eight minute drive. Even if it ends up

155
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: at a field goal. Man, just keep that other offense

156
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: on the sideline so it doesn't get out of hands.

157
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: So you have a chance here. But Johnny, I want

158
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: to jump on top of them. I want them to

159
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: feel the pain. I want them to feel fat and happy,

160
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: which they are right now going in and then to think,

161
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: oh no, we're in a game all of a sudden.

162
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: Now they got the talent to get out of a jam.

163
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: I know that. But maybe, just maybe there's magic in

164
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: the day and you can get some turnovers. That is

165
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: absolutely on point. I mean that's I think that's the

166
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: formula to win this game. I think it's a formula

167
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: for the Texans to win any game, and that is

168
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: pound the rock, pound the rock, control the clock, keep

169
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: that offense on the sideline. It's gonna have to be

170
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: against Kansas City the same exact thing with Cowboys. Give

171
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: up a hundred thirty yards on the ground offensively. And

172
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: here's the here's the nasty little secret. That game with

173
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: the Colts was twenty one nineteen. In the fourth quarter, yeah,

174
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: it was twenty one nineteen, and then the Colts melted down.

175
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: And I watched a bunch of melted down. The Cults

176
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: were doing fine. Yeah, they were holding their own. I

177
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: wasn't pretty, but they were scoring, they were making stops,

178
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: they were right there, they were within two and then

179
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the wheels completely come off. The

180
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: ball all of a sudden was a greased watermelon seed.

181
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: You know. It just they couldn't hang out of the rock.

182
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: And it was bizarre the way the Cowboys scored thirty

183
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: three points on the fourth quarter. You don't see that

184
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: every day. It's almost like you wanted to keep watching

185
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: just to see the Colts turn it over again. How

186
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: would they do? It was weird, It was so strange.

187
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: It was like, my goodness, they're in this ball game,

188
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: and then what just happened. I mean, look, this is

189
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: this season here with the Texans where we've seen a

190
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: lot of different things happen. I just outlined the last

191
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: three games where you've scored more offensive touchdowns than you've

192
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: given up. Yep, you lost three games, thirteen points or

193
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: more each game because you gave up five knots and

194
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: you obviously you can't sustain that. And of course the Colts,

195
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, found that out. They went up there to

196
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Dallas and they started, you know, you know that, you

197
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: know the phrase they bleeped around, and they found out.

198
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: I want to get into this acronym knots non offensive touchdowns. Yeah,

199
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: not to no d just go non offensive touchdowns. I

200
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: like this, Johnny, Yeah, I've never heard that knots. Yeah.

201
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: It started with Alabama when Mika Fitspatrick. Is that Alabama?

202
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: That's the first time I remember hearing it. They started

203
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: talking about knots because they were scoring a lot. Minko

204
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: was picking passes off and going to the house, and

205
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: they started calling them knots. And I remember They're like, Okay,

206
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: I like that. I don't know how this didn't seep

207
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: into my brain somehow, But I like it like I

208
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: don't like it against the Texans, but I like the

209
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind a couple of knots

210
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday for the good guys. I wouldn't mind that.

211
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: How do King runs one back too? Are they for

212
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: a big takeaway game? And to hang onto the ball?

213
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Because in turnover margin it's been pulled, loveting. It's been

214
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: my crypto portfolio, the turnover margin just dropping through the floor.

215
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: Can we fix this please? I think it's probably everybody's

216
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: crypto portfolio. It seems that way last night. I want

217
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: to get to this. Last night, I I don't even

218
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: know the words for what we saw with Baker Mayfield

219
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: and the Rams. I I can't even I'm astounded. I'm floored.

220
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just they're down sixteen to three. So not

221
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: only is it the last drive, it's the last two drives.

222
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: It's big third down in ten throws wearing Max Crosby

223
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: like a cheap suit. I mean he's he took a

224
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: shot from Chandler Jones on the play that Jerry Tillery

225
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: got the penalty. He goes eight plays, ninety eight yards

226
00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: in a minute, thirty six with no timeouts. It was phenomenal, Johnny,

227
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: even if that didn't happen. I was thinking during the game,

228
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: during the course of the game, I'm watching this one,

229
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking the fact that they got him ready

230
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: to play and I'm making plays. I mean, during the

231
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: week when it was Baker Mayfield might start Thursday night,

232
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: I was thinking, what are you serious. I mean, I

233
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: know that you had this. It's the Fanski and the

234
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: Kubiak tree and McVeigh and the Shanahan tree, and there

235
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: might be some similarities or but come on, he's never

236
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: thrown with the guys. There's no practice, well, limited practice,

237
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: there's no let's get this right, there's no practice on

238
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: a short week, there's none. And he gets there Tuesday night,

239
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: there's nothing Wednesday, have a walkthrough, and apparently it was.

240
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: It went very well for them because look at what

241
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: they did, Johnny. I think that he and McVeigh, and

242
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: it speaks to how good McVeigh is also and how

243
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: receptive Baker is and was, and how he made plays

244
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: in his toughness because without even knowing the inner workings

245
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: of it, when you love to have a hard knocks

246
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: tape of their meetings and what they're going over. Oh yeah,

247
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: they clearly they came up with a bunch of players

248
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: is that they felt could work. They worked through some

249
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: things in the walkthrough and they said all right, let's go.

250
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: Mayfield had been playing, so it's like he's football fresh,

251
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: but it's a brand new team and guys, he's never

252
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: thrown too before and he's making plays. So even if

253
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: the final drive doesn't happen. In fact, when they got

254
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: close to the twenty five at the end, I thought, well,

255
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: this is nice, but they probably should have spiked it

256
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: on the previous first down. They're gonna run out of time,

257
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: but great run and then all of a sudden, whoop,

258
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: touchdown Van Jefferson, Are you kidding me? They actually won

259
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: the game. Wow. It's one thing to get on the

260
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: field ninety eight yards in eight plays in one thirty six,

261
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: but then no timeouts like yeah, okay, not even with

262
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: a full complement of offensive linemen. I don't even I'm

263
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: not even sure who sixty eight was in the left tackle.

264
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't even know who he is. Then he's thrown

265
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: to two two at well Ben Skernik and Van Jefferson.

266
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: Van is a guy that has been productive for them.

267
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: I don't and I'm not taking anything away. Been hurt.

268
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: It's goronic too, He's he's pretty good. Yeah, I mean, look,

269
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: those guys can play for a lot of places, but

270
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: credible catch oh yeah, oh yeah. But there's no a

271
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: rob and there's no Cooper Cup. If you told me, okay,

272
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: Baker's going eight ninety eight, Well, like what Cup and

273
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: a Robert playing and they got hot at the end. No, no,

274
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: he's throwing the freaking too at Well and Ben Scernic,

275
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: how about this? He starts to drive, throwing to at Well,

276
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: but at Well can't keep the feeding bounds. He goes

277
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: right back to the play. It's like, okay, they were

278
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: totally keeping it simple, like you know what that one worked.

279
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: I think it'll still be there. If it's not there,

280
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what McVeigh told him, but go ahead

281
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: try it. And they did it and then bang bang

282
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: and then I know they got the penalty all right,

283
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: that came in handy on the sack and then they

284
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: the fall out and those But what a stupid play

285
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: by who was a total what are you doing? What

286
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: are you doing? I mean, why risk it up? The

287
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: rams by the way. I really thought watching that game,

288
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: Mayfield was playing better than most of the team Rams. No,

289
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: they were kind of drooling all over themselves and screwing

290
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: it up and acres fumbles when they have a productive

291
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: drive going, and all these mistakes. They were making dumb

292
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: penalties and oh my gosh, they had a retaliation or

293
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: whatever penalty at one point and I'm thinking, what are

294
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: you doing? But ultimately the Rams prevailed. It says a

295
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: lot about Mayfield, It says a lot about McVeigh. It

296
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: says a lot about every team in the league. Why

297
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: can't you get your guy ready? Every owner in the

298
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: league right now is hey, did you see that last night?

299
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: Because why can't we do? Boy? You've been telling me

300
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: that it takes is this amount of time to get

301
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: a guy ready And mcveigh's like, not unusual, though, well,

302
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It's very unusual. And that's why we're

303
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: talking about it. First of all, because it's Baker and

304
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: what Baker has gone through and the fact that in

305
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: Carolina he just was you mean, he asked to be

306
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: waived at that point and they were like, all right, fun,

307
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: go ahead. And what does it say about them though,

308
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: that he can come out and play this well. Johnny. Look,

309
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: I've never been a huge Baker. That's why if I

310
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: were a Pants fan watch that last night, I'm like,

311
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: oh my god, just wait if the if Watson doesn't

312
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: get it together in the next two three games or

313
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: maybe even Sunday. The Browns fans, I'm sure some of

314
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: them today are saying, hey, did we make a mistake.

315
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: Some of them today are because of what it costs

316
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: them to acquire Watson. Look, Watson's gonna come around. We

317
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: all think he will, but you never know, right, You

318
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: never know. That's the beauty of the NFL football. The

319
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: other thing is this, I'm not a huge Baker guy necessarily.

320
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: You know. With McVeigh I respect the heck out of him,

321
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: But I don't like the Rams either, But I was

322
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: pulling for him last night. I love I love Derek Carr, Yeah,

323
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: but I don't like the Raiders. So it's always been

324
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: a conflict for me to watch that team, and I

325
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: always want Derek to do well but them to lose anyway,

326
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: That's just a personal rooting thing for me. But last

327
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: night I'm pulling for Mayfield just because I want to

328
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: see if this experiment, this wild thing can pull through

329
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: for them, and it did, and I thought, it's just

330
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: amazing to see somebody's football dreams come true. We all

331
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: could share in that moment in a way because Mayfield

332
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: being cast away and oh you're no good and then

333
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: you come in there and win that game. I don't

334
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 1: know where it's going from here. They have a couple

335
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: I think of national games coming up as well, because

336
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: they're the Rams. There was a Super Bowl Champs they

337
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: scheduled him in. I think they played Christmas Day, so

338
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: good for them. We'll see where it goes. One of

339
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: the things that's fascinated to me, and I would have

340
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: you talked about, you know, kind of having a hard

341
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: knocks like look at that, what those discussions were. I

342
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: would I would almost rather have the audio between McVeagh

343
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: to Mayfield and his helmet all game. I wonder how

344
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: much carry over there was between the Stefanski offense in

345
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland and what McVeigh does it because it's all so

346
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: there's probably some of that. But I wonder if he

347
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: would give the play to Mayfield. This is why I

348
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: kind of I thought in my mind and I thought, man,

349
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: how tough is this? He gives the play to Mayfield.

350
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: Mayfield then says it gets it out to everybody, and

351
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: then mcay is McVeagh is telling him what the play

352
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: is in, like, okay, you got curl flat over on

353
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: the left hand side, you've got this on this if

354
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: you got and you have up until fifteen seconds in

355
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: the coach comp system, right, so you can you can

356
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: say little quick nuggets, but you gotta get the play out.

357
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: And his play calls are pretty darn long, so it's

358
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: super califragilistic, xpieladocious or whatever. Right, but McVeigh is saying,

359
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: throw to the right side, right, because you're gonna have

360
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: scronic about just talk to him football wise, right, Hey,

361
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: over on the left side, you're gonna have cover two.

362
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 1: You can like talk to him in football terms. And

363
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: so I'm I would have liked to have heard that,

364
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: Like how did they communicate that stuff because he's not

365
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna know every single you know play, I like the

366
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: player you're talking about the two two at well that play.

367
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure once Baker heard that play again

368
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: in his mind, he knew where he wanted to go

369
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: with the boss. I would have loved to have heard

370
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: that conversation between McVeigh. Well, Mayfield can't talk back to him,

371
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: but to hear what McVeigh was telling him and how

372
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: to go about what they were doing. I mean watching

373
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: Mayfield Johnny put the leg down and may emotion and

374
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: you know they're two minute drill. Well two minute is

375
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: crazy timeouts that they can run that with no timeouts,

376
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: But just the general flow of the game and the

377
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: body language between McVay and Mayfield, the communication they had,

378
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: all the close ups, and you thought these two guys

379
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: are driving, They're getting along. McVeigh is a brilliant guy, right,

380
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: so he's watched Mayfield before. There's a reason why they

381
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: picked him up. He felt like he could work with him,

382
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: at least in the short term. And you know, maybe

383
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: this complicates things and a good way for them moving forward.

384
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. We don't have to get to that

385
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: right now. But you could tell that they were vibing.

386
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: They they had it going on, they knew it. They

387
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: were working well together. The fact that they navigated their

388
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: way through that game. Now then you look at the

389
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: Raiders side of things, they are messed up, and the

390
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: NFL memes people were right on it. Hey, you lost

391
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: a Jeff Saturday on a few days prep and then

392
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: you lose to Baker Mayfield less than forty eight doors prep.

393
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: What does that say about the Raiders? And they've blown

394
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: more half ti double digit leads than anybody. All these

395
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 1: stats are coming out about what kind of season it was,

396
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: and for them, the narrative was definitely turning around five

397
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: and seven heading in. You win last night, you're six

398
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: and seven. You're alive or a postseason possibility right now

399
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: not so much, and you're getting a lot of heat.

400
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: You get those two wins, so they're five and eight

401
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, so you get to two wins against

402
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: these short termers Jeff Saturday and Baker. Completely different season

403
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: for them, totally different five seven six five yeah, seven

404
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: and six, seven and six, Right, Johnny, Back to your

405
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: point about Dallas and the Colts being within two against

406
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in the fourth quarter early in the fourth.

407
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: The Colts have talent. We all know that the Colts

408
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: are a weird team that self destructs and the quarterback

409
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: is aging and he turns it over and whatever else

410
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: happens to them, but that roster has some talent. I

411
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: don't know where they're going. I don't know where Dan

412
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: docktch is going, we don't have how about that? We

413
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: don't know where Chris Ballard might go. I mean, the

414
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: whole division is just right. I had to drop Docks

415
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: on this show, didn't I I've been on that show

416
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: a lot of times. And I read an article I

417
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: think you sent it to me. Maybe I don't know

418
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: about about his fall. Yeah, and I know the politics

419
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: come into it a little bit, but it's more than that.

420
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: It's really inappropriate stuff that he said and did, and

421
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,239
Speaker 1: he apologize for some of it, and he just kind

422
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: of spiraled out of control for him. But I'm kind

423
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: of sad about it. You know, this guy, you look

424
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: at who he was as a basketball coach. Somebody turned

425
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: himself into a good talk show host and then it

426
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: starts to go bad and I don't know if it's

427
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: ego or whatever else that spins out of control. We

428
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: bumped into him at restaurants in downtown Indianapolis. So he's

429
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: out at the Indianapolis sports talk station. What is it

430
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: the fan up there? Yeah, it's not an Odyssey station.

431
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: It's it's one of the enemies stations. I mean, he

432
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: had he was one of those people that had staunch

433
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: supporters or staunch haters. There was no between. There wasn't like, well,

434
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of like it was like I

435
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: hate him or I love him, which I guess is

436
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: like a lot of stuff. When does it work out

437
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: for sports personalities to bring politics into play over very rarely,

438
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: if ever. I've always said, there are two things you'll

439
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: never know from me, my religion and my politics. Never

440
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: you want to know either one of them, I never

441
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: tell you them. I like to stay Switzerland on those things,

442
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: because come on, we're talking sports here, and you know,

443
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: I will make my movie preferences very well known, music

444
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: very well known. Absolutely, you know. But that's just fun

445
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: stuff that, like Lopez says it brilliantly, this is the

446
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: toy department here. Don't bring that other stuff into it,

447
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: all right, We're here to have fun and be entertained.

448
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: And I know we've suffer when our teams don't win

449
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: and all of that, but it's in the toy department

450
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: arena of suffering, not in the real life department of suffering. Absolutely,

451
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: And that's I heard. I heard Seth say something today.

452
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: He was talking about a fan that had had texted them,

453
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 1: and it was like, I want my sports to be

454
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: an escape. I want to feel less misery with sports.

455
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's what I want to. I want

456
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: to hope, to provide. I want to, you know, try

457
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: and provide hope and hopefully, you know, infotain along the way.

458
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. I mean, I think our role

459
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: here and the team's not winning right now, Okay, we

460
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: all got it, but we try to have fun, talk

461
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: about what the players are doing, talk about some of

462
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: the good things the players are doing and the future

463
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: and all of that, and have fun. I mean, we

464
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: have games to be played, and let's let's get what

465
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: we can out of these because there are moments and

466
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: we'll be here for all of them. Yeah, and in

467
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: February we'll be going, wait, what's the next game? And

468
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: we gotta wait this many months. So you know what,

469
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna appreciate the five you gut, absolutely appreciate them.

470
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: I love game day no matter what, you know, I

471
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: love preseason. This is me, you know, I'm that guy.

472
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. I'm with you for every

473
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: single one of them. You know that, there's no doubt. Mark,

474
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: great job. Speaking of games, we got one this Sunday

475
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: against Dallas. What are the keys to that game? We'll

476
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: go over those next. Right here in Texas Access, we

477
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: are less than forty eight hours away. I'm taking on

478
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Happens every four years, so it's it's

479
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: pretty exciting when it happens. The robber. Unfortunately, right now

480
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: it's three to two Dallas, Texas one in two thousand

481
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: and two, then the Cowboys won six ten, fourteen, should

482
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: never won fourteen, but did. And the Texans won in

483
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen with hop spins and then Kymie Fairbairn knocking

484
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: on the game winning field goal in overtime. That game

485
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: was the hardest hitting game I've ever seen, bar none.

486
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: Those two teams hit the absolute but Jesus side of

487
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: one another that night. And we know what happened to

488
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson. He ended up in hospital at I mean,

489
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: it was incredible to hitting that went on Late vander

490
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: As Jalen Smith would drop in a hammer, the same

491
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: with Zach Cutting Hambert Archer, McKinney. I mean, it was

492
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean physical, Phiza Coal. This one on Sunday could

493
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: be the same. So let's dive in to my keys

494
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: to the game in this matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

495
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: So let's start with the Cowboys offense. This group is

496
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: getting it done. One hundred and forty six yards per

497
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: game on the ground, two hundred and ten through the air.

498
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: So there's seventh in the league in rushing, twenty second

499
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: in the league in passing, eleventh overall total offense. One

500
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: thing to keep an eye on with the Cowboys, Tyler

501
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: Smith left tackle rotated a little bit with Connor McGovern

502
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: who's at guard. So Connor McGovern started at left guard,

503
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith started left tackle. Then they rotated and put

504
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith that left guard and moved Jason Peters in.

505
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: Now Tyrann Smith is supposed to be coming back, y'all

506
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: pro tackle. If they do that, and then probably the

507
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: rotation is permanent, and that is Tyler Smith moves into guard,

508
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: Tyren moves back to the left tackle, and away they go.

509
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: That's one thing keep an eye with the offensive line.

510
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: But that is a really good offensive We'll talk about

511
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: that in just a second. So let's get to the

512
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: keys and start with number one NFL's best kept secret,

513
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: and that is Tony Pollard. Yeah, Tony Pollard, number twenty.

514
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: This guy's an absolute ball. And a couple of weeks ago,

515
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones was doing his radio show and he was

516
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: asked about the running back position and he just immediately

517
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: went to no no, Zeke's oar guy, Zeke's number one.

518
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: That's the bell cow. Tony will find his way well.

519
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: A few weeks later and it basically is what it

520
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: was the last probably five six weeks, and that is

521
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard is the bell cow. Zeki Zekiel Elliott is

522
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: the change of pace back and a change of pace.

523
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: He's the he's the pounder, he's the grinder. Now he

524
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: can still do all the things he's always been able

525
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: to done, been able to do, but he just does

526
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: him now in a complimentary role, not as a starter.

527
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard is the starter, bona fide, big time player.

528
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: He averages seven point five plus yards a touch. He

529
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: did against Indianapolis on the year. On the year, he

530
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: averages six point four yards per touch, and he's got

531
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns Against the Vikings. They put him out wide

532
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: and the Viking's played kind of a combo cover, playing

533
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: like a quarters on one side and then played man

534
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: and man on the other side, and Tony Pollard got

535
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: matched up against I think it was Hicks and just

536
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: smoked him right off, right off the bat. Dak Prescott

537
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: did a great job of moving the safety away and

538
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: then throwing at the Pollard down the sideline. And Texas

539
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: got to be cognizant of who goes out on Tony

540
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: Pollard in the pass game, whether the it's Christian Harris

541
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: or whoever. But they're probably gonna need some help that

542
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: one on one. It's gonna go to Tony Pollard all day,

543
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: every day. He's become arguably one of the top five

544
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: weapons in the NFL for all that he can do

545
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: for that team to speed division in the run game.

546
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: And he's done. He's just done everything. Tony Pollard. There's

547
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: a guy who can't make the mistake on number two.

548
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that left side of the line. It's

549
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern over at left guard right now, and it's

550
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith right now, a rookie out of Tulsa who

551
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: I thought was gonna end up going to guard at

552
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: some point, maybe moved to tackle once he kind of

553
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: got his his NFL sea legs under him, but he

554
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: stayed out of left tackle. Has been really, really good now,

555
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: it has been perfect and Tyred Smith is coming back.

556
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: He had I believe it's a bad hamstring and that's

557
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: set him back probably eight to ten weeks. So Tyred

558
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: Smith is and has been in the twenty one day

559
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: window where he could come back for the Cowboys. Now

560
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if that'll happen on Sunday. If Tyler

561
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: Smith number seventy three, who looks like Larry Allen wearing

562
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: number seventy three, is out of left tackle, Jerry Hughes

563
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: has got to give him what for. Jerry Hughes has

564
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: got to show him every trick in the book. Now,

565
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: Smith has seen some things and he's been holding up well,

566
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: but Jerry has been rushing about as well as any

567
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: Texan has in years. Not in a JJ watt, I

568
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: mean he has been phenomenal off the edge at thirty

569
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: four years old. He gets the quarterback and makes the

570
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: quarterback move. I mean, he has been stellar. So Jerry's

571
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: got to show him everything he's got. When Tyler Smith

572
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: is at tackle, if he goes inside to guard, well,

573
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: then it's on MALIEK. Collins to get over there and

574
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: show the rookie a few things playing on the interior.

575
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: So we'll see what that means for Tyred Smith. But

576
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: when Tyler Smith is out of tackle, Jerry Hughes has

577
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: got to go win that. But the best side of

578
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: the offensive line is on the right side, Zack Martin

579
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: next to Terrence Steele. Zack Martin, the first round pick

580
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen Hall of Fame player Terrence Steele, undrafted,

581
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: is growing into one of the better right tackles in

582
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: the league. That side is a monster. Guys that are

583
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: playing on that side for the Texans, they've got to

584
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: be violent getting off blocks, and they've got to be

585
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: really sure splitting double teams because those two work very

586
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: very well together. They can't let that side just run

587
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: rough shot over the left side of the defense. All right,

588
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: flipped over the Cowboys defense. Here, boy, every week when

589
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: I do my know your foe, I put down the

590
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: starters and then I put in key defensive non starters,

591
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: and I just kept going and going and going. I'm like,

592
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: my goodness, these guys are absolutely loaded on the defensive side. However,

593
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,239
Speaker 1: one key number one twenty nine point eight yards per game.

594
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: That's twenty fourth in the NFL. They give up a

595
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: lot of rushing yards, passing yards not so much one

596
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: seventy nine point eight that's second in the league. Total

597
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: offense they give up three ten per game, that's fifth

598
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: in the league. But here's the big deal, twenty one

599
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: turnovers generated. They're plus nine in turnover margin. They at

600
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: four in the fourth quarter against the cold So let's

601
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: get to our keys here, Key number one. As I

602
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: said Tony Pollard was the NFL's best kept secret, I

603
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: think that Michael Parsons is the least kept secret and

604
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: the best defender. This guy is an absolute rock star.

605
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: I gave you my scouting report. You can see him

606
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: and know your foe. He could do everything. What I

607
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: didn't anticipate was that they were going to turn him

608
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: into a full on edge rusher defensive end. But that's

609
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: what dan Quinn has done. He's a stack backer, guy

610
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: who played off the ball linebacker, and then they start

611
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: rushing from the edge and like, boy, he's really good.

612
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: Let's keep doing this some more. Let's keep doing it

613
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: some more, and before you know it about a being

614
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: about a bang. He is an edge defender for the

615
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Now he's also going against two tackles that

616
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: have played very very well, Army Tunsons, playing his best

617
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: football his career. Titis is not giving up a lot

618
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: of SA He has given up some pressures. But I

619
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: would imagine Michael Parsons will try and rush from that

620
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: side to get one on one against Titus. It's okay

621
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: to give those guys some help, That's totally fine, But

622
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: one on one, those guys are gonna have to win

623
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 1: that battle against number eleven. Also the Marcus Lawrence, Sam Williams,

624
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: the rookie at will Miss. They've got their hands full

625
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: against these edge rushers, in particular Michael Parsons, the best

626
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: defensive player in the league, number two. This goes back

627
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: to the one hundred and thirty yards per game on

628
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: the ground at Dallas gives up the Texans must exploit that.

629
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: I don't care if they run it forty five times.

630
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: If Damian Pierce and the running backs are moving the sticks, fine.

631
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: It keeps the Cowboy offense on the sidelines. It limits

632
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: the impact of Parsons in the pass rush. It controlst

633
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: the clock. You physically established the line of scrimmage, the

634
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: offensive line and Pierce. It takes pressure off of Davis Mills,

635
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: who will get to you in a second or allotted

636
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: for reasons to establish the offensive line and pierce in

637
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: this game. And they're all right there follow the blueprint

638
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: last and certainly not least I was there down Anthony Brown.

639
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: I mentioned that, I mentioned that earlier this week. I

640
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: also will mention that we talk about the injury report

641
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: because Anthony Brown is gonna be out of this one. However,

642
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity there to go after the corners there.

643
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're gonna put it together, whether

644
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: they go to Kelvin Joseph, whether they where they have

645
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: Toront Diggs. But what are they gonna do out on

646
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: the outside at corner? How is that all gonna go

647
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: together for the Cowboys? And if Davis Mills and this

648
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: sort of makeshift wide receiver crew can exploit those guys,

649
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: this is that time to do it on Sunday. Challenge

650
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: him deep, get some early angst out, go after them

651
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: a little bit, but stay true to the run game

652
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: throughout this game and see where that puts you after

653
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. All right, that's gonna do it for our

654
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: keys to the game coming up next. Let's go round

655
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,800

Speaker 1: hit the Texans Cowboys injury Report, Status Report, Who's in,

Speaker 1: k i A Dyken loves Houston dot com. All right,

672
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 1: it's dive into some around the NFL news and start

673
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: with a big one. The Jaguars are taken on Tennessee

674
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: this weekend, and although it doesn't look close at this

675
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: point because Jackson's got losing record, Tennessee's got a winning record.

676
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: A Jacksonville win here actually closes the gap that much

677
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: more and gives Jacksonville the tiebreaker between those two. However,

678
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is questionable for the game against Tennessee with

679
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: a toe issue. Now. They got hammered in Detroit, absolutely

680
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: hammered in Detroit. It was great the week before hammered

681
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: in Detroit when out of a Detroit game and he

682
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: didn't lose, he snaps, but he's been struggling to get

683
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: through practice. So how does he do against Tennessee. So

684
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: that's a big AFC South battle Jacksonville right now four

685
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: and eight, they could win out nine and eight. Somehow

686
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: Tennessee stumbels to go nine and eighth. That have to

687
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: be Tennessee twice, so that would put them in a

688
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: tiebreaker situation. So even though it's seven and five verses

689
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: four and eight, there's still a chance for Jacksonville. There

690
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: won't be a chance if Trevor Lawrence does not play

691
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. Right now, he's questionable. We'll see if

692
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: he's able to give it a go. So we'll kind

693
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 1: of factor that into our predictions a little bit later

694
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: in the show, but Trevor Lawrence questionable with a toe

695
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: sprain against the Tennessee Titans. Odell Beckham Junior was in

696
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: the news and you'll hear a little bit about that

697
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: with David Hellman at the top of our next hour

698
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: as he talked with DP City. Odem Beckham Junior isn't

699
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: going to Dallas Buffalo, New York anytime soon, he said,

700
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: and I quote, I haven't made a decision. And for me,

701
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,919
Speaker 1: I would like to be in a stable environment. Get

702
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 1: up at six am, leave at six pm for four

703
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: weeks and then let's talk about it. I've played football

704
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: for a long time. I'm not saying that I couldn't

705
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: step in and play regular season, but I don't see

706
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: the point. I really don't. I'd rather play when the

707
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: pressure is on. So a quote unquote, so read through that,

708
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: Odem Beckham Junior is essentially saying I'm your free agent

709
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. Now, thinking back to last week, last week, yeah,

710
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: last week in Jerry Jones and Cowboys, and there was

711
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: some concern about Odell Beckham juniors knee being fully rehabbed

712
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: and ready to go. Was OBJ ready to go? To

713
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: finish the regular season, and that sort of lines up

714
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: with him coming back for just the playoffs. Keep an

715
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: eye on at New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys

716
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: in the running for OBJ as he goes on his

717
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: recruiting visits literal recruiting visits. Now, the Giants have got

718
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: a big one against the Philadelphia Eagles. Se Quon Barkley,

719
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: like Trevor Lawrence, is listed as questionable with next soreness. Now,

720
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: you never know what that could mean, but the fact

721
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: that he's questionable when next soreness raises the concern. Without

722
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: sa Quon Barkley, the Giants are toast. With Saquon, they

723
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: got an opportunity to stay in the game. They'll do enough,

724
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: They'll run the ball enough. With Saquon Barkley. The Eagles

725
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: run defense. We saw it's not eighty five bears ish.

726
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: So without him, oh boy, there's not much there. Barkley

727
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: has run for one thousand and fifty five rush yards

728
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: and he's had almost thirteen hundred scrimmage yards. He's fourth

729
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: in rushing, he's fifth in total scrimmage yards. In twenty

730
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: twenty two. He has been the Giants offense so keep

731
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: an eye on sae Quon Barkley potentially not playing against

732
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. We talked a little bit earlier about

733
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield last night. If you missed it, and you

734
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: missed the first segment, maybe you missed it. I don't

735
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: know whether you did or you didn't. But the La

736
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: Rams are taking on the Raiders. Raiders won three in

737
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: a row, had really kind of been getting their house

738
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: back in, if you will. The Rams had been struggling,

739
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean struggling in a horrible way. They claimed Baker

740
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: Mayfield on waivers this week. They were the only team

741
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: to do it. Texans had the top waiver claim, didn't

742
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: do it. Thirty other teams didn't do it, but the

743
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: Rams did. Down sixteen to three. Boy, it didn't look

744
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: like it didn't really look like it was a good move,

745
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: baden to move, whatever the case might be. Then Mayfield

746
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: drove the Rams down the field seventeen plays, seventy four

747
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: yards and unfortunately it took up nine minutes in one second,

748
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: but that got the Rams within six points. Touched on

749
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: by cam Acres after a fourth to one throw from Mayfield.

750
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: The Acres got them sixteen ten, stopped the Raiders on

751
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: three and out. The Rams had one time out, they

752
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: had the two minute warning. There's three minutes, one second

753
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: left and the Rams kicked it deep, stopped them on

754
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 1: third and one, got the ball back minute forty five,

755
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: ninety eight yards away. Mayfield drives them ninety eight yards

756
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: with no timeouts on eight plays, seventeen to sixteen. The

757
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: Rams win. Now, how does that impact your Texans? Well,

758
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: with the Rams moving to four and nine, it just

759
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: moves them a little bit further down. Now the Rams

760
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: won't be making that pick. That pick belongs to Detroit. However,

761
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: it moves them down. The Raiders stay at five and eight.

762
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: So it just impacts all the draft stock and all

763
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. Now, we just need the Cincinnati

764
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: Bengals to take care of business and move the Browns

765
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: back up, and we will be sitting pretty if you will.

766
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: So just go with that, all right. Also going on

767
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: around the league, Lamar Jackson Baltimore Ravens listed as doubtful,

768
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: And I'll repeat what I had said earlier about players

769
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: that are listed as doubtful. I have never seen one

770
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: play and Nuns nine season, nine seasons of questionable doubtful

771
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: or in I have never seen a doubtful play, so

772
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: don't anticipate seeing Lamar Jackson. It's probably gonna be Tyler

773
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: Huntley for the Baltimore Ravens getting to start versus the

774
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Bengals taken on the Browns. T Higgins is

775
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: expected to play by tight end Hayden Hurst is out.

776
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: David and Joku for the Browns is good to go,

777
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: but Amari Cooper. Wide receivers listened as questionable, so Deshaun

778
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: Watson could have one weapon back, but maybe he could

779
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: be losing the other one in that game. Browns and Bengals.

780
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: Now injury report for your Texans and Cowboys, and I

781
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: don't think there are any surprises here. A couple of

782
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: unfortunate ones. Wide receiver crew ooh Nico Collins out expected

783
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: that because Nick has not been practicing, Brandy Cook's out,

784
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: Kurt Heinish out dealer's shoulder, and Derek Stingley has been

785
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: out in the hampshring, but he has also been sick

786
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: this week, so he's out. Troy Harriston did practice today

787
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: in a limited basis, he's questionable, and Justin McCray has

788
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: been dealing in the Hampshiing, He's questionable, Addison Fairbird Wallow.

789
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: They were on injury report, but they're all no designation.

790
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: They're in Texans, no wide receivers, no top two wide receivers,

791
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: No Nico, no Brandon filth or set Chris Moore. And

792
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: now you're probably gonna have to bring up a couple

793
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 1: of guys make them active this week. So we'll see

794
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: how that goes together. I would imagine that could put

795
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: four tight ends in play for being active, but we'll

796
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: keep an eye out. On the Cowboys side, Anthony Brown

797
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,479
Speaker 1: has been dealing with achilles. He's listening out as out

798
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: after injuring that achilles against the Indianapolis Colt Layton Vannerish

799
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 1: didn't practice today, he was sick. He is now listened

800
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: as questionable. Not that everyonet to see anybody out, but

801
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 1: if Layton vannersh is out, okay, that that will help

802
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: things a little bit because that is one loaded, loaded

803
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: roster of Texans have to face. So there you go. Cooks, Collins, Heines,

804
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: Stingley out, Harriston mccraig questionable. On the Texans side. Cowboys

805
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown starting corner out. Laton Vandersch added to the

806
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: report with illness. He is questionable. All right, we get

807
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: back to tell more about these Cowboys from David Hellman,

808
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: he covers the Cowboys for Fox Sports. What are his

809
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: thoughts on Dak Prescott and Tony Pollard and Zeke Elliott

810
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: and how that mix is going with Deep City? Next

811
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: right here in Texas All Access we go on our

812
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: down one hour left to go right here on a Friday,

813
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: Nation of Texas All Access. Appreciate you being with me.

814
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 1: John Harris, Football Ano side down reporter for you Houston Texans.

815
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: We got plenty to do in this hour, but we're

816
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: gonna kick it off with a little bit of Jenga

817
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: and going behind enemy sidelines, and that's where we'll start.

818
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: Deep City sat down with David Hellman from Fox. But

819
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: he also has covered to Cowegs for a long time.

820
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: In fact, he used to be with the Dallas Cowboys,

821
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: but he ventured out. He's now covering the Cowboys for

822
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: Fox and they sat down and talked about a number

823
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: of different aspects. Right about now, we're going behind enemy

824
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: sidelines with David Hellman. He covers the Dallas Cowboys for

825
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: Fox Sports. Previously was the team reporter for the Cowboys. David, First,

826
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: congrats on the new gig. Let's talk a little Cowboys.

827
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: Not much has changed for you on that front, right, Yeah,

828
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, it's been it's been a weird year

829
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: because it's you know, it's new environment and a new job,

830
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: but it's still the Cowboys. So it's been it's been

831
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: a fun new challenge, but still kind of more of

832
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: the same. Not that I'm complaining about it, no, And

833
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've got nothing to complain about this year

834
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: with the nine and three start for the Cowboys. All right,

835
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: So what's more surprising that the fact that the Cowboys

836
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: only have lost three games despite having Dak Prescott out

837
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: due to thumb surgery, or the fact that the entire

838
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: NFC East is currently above five hundred. What's more prising

839
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: to you right now? Ooh okay, I mean they're both

840
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: pretty surprising and on it, Like, when the Cowboys lost

841
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: that season opener against the Bucks, they looked so bad

842
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: and then they lose Dak on top of that, I mean,

843
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: I thought the season was over, to be honest with you.

844
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: I thought I thought we were probably looking at a

845
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: five or six win Cowboys season. So that's incredibly surprising,

846
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: but even still. I mean, I've been covering the NFC

847
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: Easts since twenty thirteen, and I would have never believed

848
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: that all four teams could be this competent at the

849
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: same time, because, I mean, it's been normal to have

850
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: like one or two good teams like Dallas and Philly

851
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: are usually good, or New York was good for a

852
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 1: while there. But to even throw Washington in the mix, Honestly,

853
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't convinced Washington was capable of being actually decent.

854
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: So to have all four teams actually playing good football,

855
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: I'd say, is the biggest surprise of all. I don't

856
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: think I would have ever bet on that. Yeah, and

857
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: of course the Texans have to play all four of

858
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: those teams this year because the AC South is playing

859
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: the NFC East. But I digress, all right. The big

860
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 1: news is Odell Beckham Junior. I feel like he's everywhere.

861
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: He's been linked to the Cowboys. The Cowboys have talked

862
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: about him. But with the Cowboys away, their offense is

863
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: playing right now, being top three in averaging twenty seven

864
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: point eight points per game. Do they even need an

865
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior added to their offense? What are your

866
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. See, I think that they do, and

867
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: I think I think people get lost in the idea

868
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: of the fact that it's Odell Beckham. And I mean,

869
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you. It's a very Cowboys story, right, Like

870
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: the the most obnoxious visible football team in the league

871
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: going after like one of the most obnoxious, high profile,

872
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: gaudy players in the league. You know, like it's just

873
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: it's a match made perfect. Yeah, right, But like but

874
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: on a more football level, you know, I think people

875
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: expect that the Cowboys need Odell Beckham to come in

876
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: here and be the guy that he was in twenty fourteen,

877
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: and I just don't think that's the case. I mean,

878
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: if you go back to last year when he was

879
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: traded to the Rams, it wasn't a huge role that

880
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: he occupied, you know, I think he only caught twenty

881
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: seven passes, But his athleticism, his run after catchability, his

882
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 1: big playability, I think it it opened up an extra

883
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: dimension for that offense. It took a little bit of

884
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: pressure off of Cooper Cup, it made life easier on

885
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. I think I think that's the role he

886
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: would be looking at here. Like, I don't think the

887
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: Cowboys need Odell Beckham on the field for more than

888
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: like fifteen snaps a game. But it offers you that

889
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: element that I think they're lacking right now. Ceedee Lamb

890
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: is a wonderful receiver, but the Cowboys just haven't had

891
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: that explosive element to their offense this year in terms

892
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: of attacking downfield and coming up with chunk plays like that.

893
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: They're very efficient. I would call their offense very efficient.

894
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would say it's explosive. So

895
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: I do think he could add something to that. The big,

896
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: the big question there is just how healthy he is.

897
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: You know, he's thirty years old. He tore the ACL

898
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, so it's still hasn't been a

899
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 1: very long time, and I wonder, I wonder how quickly

900
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: he could be ready and how effective he would be

901
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: once he is ready, Because at this point it's early December.

902
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you're probably talking about him not being able

903
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: to really really contribute toward the tail end of the month,

904
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: and by that point you're talking about playoffs. So the

905
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: time crunch and the health element are interesting to me.

906
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: But if he's healthy and non track to contribute, I

907
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: do think he could add something to that offense. Sure,

908
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's an intriguing storyline to watch. For sure,

909
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: a guy that is healthy Dak Prescott. I mean you

910
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: mentioned it. When he went out with the injury early

911
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 1: on in the season, everyone thought the Cowboy season was over.

912
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: But he has come back and he's averaging over thirty

913
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: three points per game in his return. Is this the

914
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: best football that you've seen Dak Prescott play? That's the

915
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: funny thing, deep is he's not playing all that well.

916
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 1: He's he's having ball security issues. I don't know if

917
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 1: there's any other way to say it. I think the

918
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: debate in Dallas is whether he's being aggressive or reckless, right, Like,

919
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: you want your quarterback to have the confidence to take

920
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: shots down field and take risks. But the facts are

921
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: what they are. Dak has thrown seven interceptions in seven games. Like,

922
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: that's just not what you're looking for from a quarterback

923
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: of his caliber. You know, he threw two picks against

924
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: Green Bay in their most recent loss, and even in

925
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: the wins against Indie and New York, he's had some

926
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: ugly interceptions. He got intercepted twice on Thanksgiving. And yet,

927
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: having just said all of that, critical stuff. The Cowboys

928
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: are number one in like every metric you could want

929
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: them to be, like total yards scoring. Their third down

930
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: conversion rate is obscene. Their red zone conversion rate is

931
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 1: best in the league over the last month or so.

932
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: So clearly he has opened things up for that offense

933
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: and they are one of the league's best. And it

934
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: speaks to how well they're playing that this is not

935
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 1: the best I've ever seen Dak Prescott play, but it

936
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: hasn't mattered so far. They're rolling. Yeah. Well, let's talk

937
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: about the run game. The run game between Ezekiel Elliott

938
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: and Tony Pollard, what's been the balance between those two

939
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 1: and how much did having Dak not in the offense,

940
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: how much that sort of changed the plan of attack

941
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: and really getting a balance going between the run game

942
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: and the passing game for the Cowboys. What's funny is

943
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: I think I think getting the running game more involved

944
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: was just a priority for this season before Dak even

945
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: got hurt. But I think Dak getting hurt kind of

946
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: forces you to lean into that. When you don't have

947
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: your franchise quarterback, you've got Cooper Rush out there, who

948
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: you don't want throwing the ball. Twenty eight thirty thirty

949
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: two times a game, so I think they were kind

950
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: of forced to lean into it a little bit more.

951
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: But they're well equipped to do that. You know, they

952
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: spent a first round pick on the offensive line. Tyler

953
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: Smith has been playing really well. Terrence Steele and Zack

954
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: Martin on the right side have been a fantastic oh

955
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: this year, and so it's really it's made their run

956
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: game more dynamic. And another element of that is I

957
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:09,439
Speaker 1: think Ezekiel Elliott injuring his leg a few weeks ago,

958
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: not that they didn't know what they had in Tony Pollard,

959
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: but I think it again, it kind of forced them

960
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: to up his workload and when you see what he's

961
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: capable of doing with fourteen fifteen, sixteen touches instead of

962
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: seven eight nine touches, you know, I think it's made

963
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: their offense more well rounded and more dynamic. He clearly

964
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: he adds a big playability. You know, he's scored from

965
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: forty eight yards out sixty eight yards out this season, which,

966
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: again going back to them not being that explosive like

967
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard is their most explosive element this season, and

968
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: I think they've really kind of unlocked that. So I

969
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: think it's a combination. I think they were forced to

970
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,479
Speaker 1: lean more into their running game when Dak was out,

971
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: and then they were forced to lean more on their

972
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: depth when Zeke was out and find out just how

973
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 1: good it really is and it's been paying off big time. Well,

974
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: they certainly leaned a lot on their defense. I mean,

975
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: their defense is top five and yards allowed, points allowed,

976
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: first in the NFL with forty eight sacks. I mean,

977
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: we all have seen Michael Parsons and what he's able

978
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: to do, but they've got so many playmakers on that defense.

979
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: How did they really come together as a unit this year?

980
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: It's funny. I think most people expected them to take

981
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: a step back, at least a little bit, because they

982
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: led the league in turnovers last year, and you don't,

983
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 1: like it's hard to maintain consistency with that. You know,

984
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: like it's hard to lead the league in takeaways every season.

985
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: It just is. The stats bear that out. So I

986
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: think most people expected them to take a step back.

987
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: But what people weren't counting on, I think is Mica

988
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: taking another leap. Like as good as he was last year,

989
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: he's been even better this year. And then what having

990
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: a player like that can unlock for everybody else, because

991
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the Cowboys have other good players, right, Like

992
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: they have DeMarcus Lawrence. They signed Dorince Armstrong to a

993
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: pretty nice contract in the spring. They brought on Dante Fowler,

994
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: the former top five pick out of Jacksonville, and like

995
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: it all looked good on paper, but I think what

996
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: you're seeing is a talent like Micah Parsons just gives

997
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: everyone else favorable matchups. So now you've got as many

998
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: as four occasionally five guys that can win one on

999
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: one matchups and get sacks. And that's why I mean

1000
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: they're they're leading the league. They're on pace to have

1001
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: the league lead by a sizeable margin. I looked this

1002
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: up recently. Likely only two teams in the last twenty

1003
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: five or thirty years have hit sixty sacks on the season,

1004
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: and that is a very doable thing for this defense

1005
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: if they get rolling. I mean, they're only twelve away

1006
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: with five games to play, and so I mean, when

1007
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: you can rush the passer like that, it just makes

1008
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: life easier on everything else. Honestly, the Cowboys have even

1009
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,439
Speaker 1: had injury issues on the back end. They lost their

1010
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: slot corner Jordan Lewis, to a broken foot a month

1011
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: or so ago. They lost their number two cornerback Anthony

1012
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: Brown too an achilles injury the other night, and it

1013
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: hasn't really affected them too much. Like I mean, they're

1014
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,479
Speaker 1: not the best past defense in the league, but they're

1015
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: not a liability by any means. And I think that's

1016
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: it's a testament to how good they are getting after

1017
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback. All right, great stuff from David helm And

1018
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: David appreciate the time. Kickoff is at noon on Sunday

1019
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys from AT and T Stadium. Appreciate the

1020
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: time and the insight. My friend will talk soon anytime. Absolutely, Yeah,

1021
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: David hit right on at the very end there, man.

1022
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: That pass rush, My goodness, it's deep. That's the biggest

1023
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 1: thing to me. It's deep. Yeah, Michael Parsons is unbelievable.

1024
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: We talked about that in case of the game. But

1025
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: they're deep. They get you at Lawrence Armstrong. They can

1026
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: hit you with Marcus Lawrence, they hit you with Sam Williams.

1027
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: Interior guys can get there. We know Carlos Watkins is

1028
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: a very good interior pass rusher. He's Texan. We saw it.

1029
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,879
Speaker 1: He can still do that for the Cowboys as well,

1030
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: so they can get it from inside and out, no

1031
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: doubt about that. Now, speaking of inside and out, how

1032
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: about let's go back inside to play little Jenga for

1033
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: Drew's dozen this week, and we got against some literation.

1034
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: Drew dohertys Drew's dozen't with Dari that get him? All Yeah,

1035
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. And pay attention to who it

1036
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: is that Dari says he wouldn't let his sister marry

1037
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: or date. M kind of I don't want to say

1038
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: he throws a rookie teammate under the bus, but he

1039
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: kind of does a little bit. But he gives a

1040
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: good example and a good reason why. Here is Drew

1041
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: and Dari playing Jenga Andrews dozen straight out of Milwaukee

1042
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 1: and then on to the Wisconsin Badgers and into the NFL.

1043
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: We got Dari, a goombawally, a running back who does

1044
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: so many different things, including dressed very well. But today

1045
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna play some jea doing all right? All right?

1046
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: You pull first, you can't go from the top three,

1047
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: and you pull a block. You asked the question, answer it,

1048
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: I pull a block, I asked question. And you listen

1049
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: to this jinga ficionado. He does know about the one

1050
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: hand ruling. Yes, that's the way we play a fair

1051
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 1: Who has the cleanest locker? I'm asking myself. Yeah, yeah,

1052
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: who has the cleanest locker on the team. I'd probably

1053
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: say Rex Rex Birkehead, he keeps the stuff real tidy,

1054
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: right real, Uh, everything's nice and nice and need and

1055
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: rexes locker. I don't think this is gonna last too

1056
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: long because I've never seen a configuration like this. They're

1057
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: we're setting us up for Philler. I think, okay, what

1058
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: is your most used emoji? So I answered the question? Okay,

1059
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: I answer every question. Most use emoji? Probably just laugh

1060
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: at emoji. I'll laugh a lot, I smile a lot. Good,

1061
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: it's good. You're a happy person. I like it. Who's

1062
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: your celebrity lookalike? I don't know. People say gun up.

1063
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: People always trying to say it look like gunner, So

1064
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: I can't. You got dress, that's all it is. You

1065
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,439
Speaker 1: got dress? Were you a Disney or a Nickelodeon kid

1066
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: growing up? So growing up I was really a cartoon

1067
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: network kid. Oh okay, good? Um. I would probably say Disney.

1068
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: Just the movies were good on Disney. Yeah, what's your

1069

1071
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Disney. I'm gonna say I was like

1072
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 1: going to the games and like to hold the baby

1073
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: up in the air, the Lion King camp. Yeah, I've

1074
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: seen that. The best piece of advice I've ever been given.

1075
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 1: Let's compete with yourself, not to worry about what other

1076
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: people are doing, you know, just trying to be better

1077
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: than you are. Yesterday, my dad told you that Dad

1078
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: sounds like a wise guy. I mean, applies to football

1079
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,439
Speaker 1: and applies to academics. Mute and no matter what. Yeah,

1080
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: that's it. Like, what's your dad's first name? Gregory? Gregory?

1081
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:29,399
Speaker 1: Gumboala Okay, perfect plate at a barbecue restaurant is what

1082
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get. Brisket. I don't need the sandwich, I

1083
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: don't need the bread, So I'm gonna get brisket. Maybe

1084
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: a little sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. I'm gonna get

1085
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,280
Speaker 1: mac and cheese. I'm gonna get some green any dessert

1086
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 1: because they usually have banana putting. I'm not putting guy,

1087
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 1: So if I if I could get like a scoop

1088
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: of vanilla. I'll just go to scoop of vanilla. But

1089
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm not really beenana putting guy that she was either

1090
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: go to at the barbecue spots. Who on the team

1091
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: would you not let date your sister? And you listen,

1092
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: and I have a sister too, and everyone loves her sisters.

1093
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: Everyone's sister is special, but you're sister's extra special. I mean,

1094
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: she's won a scoring title in the w NBA. She's

1095
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 1: one of the greatest players in college history, sank game

1096
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: winners in the final four of the title. I mean,

1097
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 1: I would probably say I mean, I would probably say

1098
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: Troy Harriston, and he's a great guy, but he he's

1099
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: just if you watch the body play, he's just super aggressive, bro.

1100
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: And I don't need no aggressive man. Just what my sister.

1101
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: You're feeling me? So I need somebody nice and gentle.

1102
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: Choice way to no offense? Choice actually changed choice birthday.

1103
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you gotta stay away from my sister. Bro. Now,

1104
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: this is the answer. He just gave the answer of

1105
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: the entire season here on Jay. And we've had some

1106
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: phenomenal answers on this game, but that was awesome. I

1107
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: love that exchange. No, Troy Harrison, he seems like a

1108
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: big sweetheart. You just you just called him out. I

1109
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: love it. That's great. What's your favorite nickname? What nicknames

1110
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: do you have? And so my full name is Oluadari,

1111
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: so Dari technically is a nickname. I don't have any

1112
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: nicknames besides that. I guess in college, guys call me

1113
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: Freezy for no reason, but Reezy just i't know. I

1114
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: don't even know how I started the older guys, but

1115
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: Breezyzy okay. But yeah, besides that, I don't have nicknames.

1116
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: To be honest with me, because you're rolling with your nickname. Naturally.

1117
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: My first memory, well, I actually remember when I was born.

1118
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm just showing my first memory as a kid, and

1119
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,959
Speaker 1: how can we challenge that? Even you could have gone

1120
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: I first remember as a kid, I'll probably say I'll

1121
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: probably say second grade, which is weird. I probably probably

1122
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: should have number things before that, But I remember second

1123
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: grade pretty vivid. They had a cool teacher, Miss Phillips,

1124
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: and school was just real fun. School is real fun

1125
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: when Miss Phillips do to make school fun. I don't know.

1126
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: This little clapping thing in the morning I don't even

1127
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:48,439
Speaker 1: remember that, but now school, I just remember second grade

1128
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: being super fun. I don't remember much besides that, I

1129
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't remember my childhood like that. Shout

1130
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: out Miss Phips, Dari Goomba, Wally. You keep the street winning.

1131
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: The players continue to triumph Jenga. Appreciate the time man Man,

1132
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: Drew's gotta get better at Jenga. Man, he keeps getting

1133
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: his butt kicked. He's gotta win one. At some point.

1134
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: He's gotta find that killer instinct. He'll find it, There's

1135
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: no question about that. All Right, we get back. Let's

1136
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: get into my prediction straight up and against the spread

1137
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: for fun. I do it every single week. A lot

1138
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: of games going on this weekend. We'll break them all

1139
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: down next right here on Texas All Access. Yes, sir,

1140
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: we have reached that time of the week where I

1141
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: get to put it down on WAX. It's sort of

1142
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: my own way of competition, and I love competition. I

1143
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: love competing, and this is one of the ways I

1144
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: do it and also hopefully entertain and give me some

1145
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: information all at the same time. I make my NFL

1146
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: pick straight up and against the spread for fun. So

1147
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: work clear it's all for fun. I love I'll love

1148
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: talking about everybody in the NFL. Love talking about the Texans,

1149
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: but obviously things have not gone well. So I love

1150
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: talking about everything that's going on around the league. Even

1151
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: if Texas were seventeen to oh, I said, we'll be

1152
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: talking about teams around the league. Plus, I would always

1153
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: make my predictions because either A it makes me sound

1154
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: really smart or b it makes me sound not so smart,

1155
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: and I'm okay with that too. But it's just a

1156
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: fun way to talk about all the things going on

1157
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL through these matchups, and I'll try and

1158
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 1: give you who we want to win, especially in a

1159
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: few of these along the way. So let's get my music,

1160
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: and let's start right here in Buffalo, where the Buffalo

1161
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: Bills are taking on the New York Jets. Jets. Jets. Jets,

1162
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: Jets are seven and five. Mike White has been playing well,

1163
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: but he's coming off a loss the Minnesota Vikings last

1164
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: week up in Minnesota. Now the Jets go to Buffalo.

1165
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Earlier this year, I feel like saying earlier in this episode.

1166
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 1: Earlier this year, the Jets went I'm sorry, the Bills

1167
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: went to face the Jets up in met Life and

1168
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: the Jets beat them. So this is important one for

1169
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: the Bills to get. Because the Jets get this one

1170
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: and moved to eight and five, the Bills follow to

1171
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: nine and four. That gap, my goodness, is a close one,

1172
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: and the Jets would have the tiebreaker. I don't think

1173
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: it happens. The Bills are favored by ten. I think

1174
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:12,439
Speaker 1: the Bills jump all over the Jets early, go get

1175
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: the win. Mike White has a couple of turnovers that

1176
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: he'll regret, and the Bills win this thing by eight,

1177
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 1: which is less than ten. So Bills get the win,

1178
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: and it'll feel convincing. But in the end, the Jets

1179
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: might get that backdoor cover. But the Jets are gonna cover.

1180
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna get inside the ten. But the Bills to win,

1181
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: all right, And who do we want to win an

1182
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: that one out the Bills. We like the Bills, right,

1183
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 1: we like the Bills. I like my man Salcpacco, so

1184
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: I hopefully you like the Bills. Two Browns are going

1185
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: to the Bengals. Browns might be without Amari Cooper, but

1186
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: it looks like they'll have David and Joking and they'll

1187
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:44,959
Speaker 1: have the Shaun Watson pulling the trigger. And the last

1188
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: time the Browns played the Bengals in Cleveland on Monday

1189
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Night Football, the Browns hammered the Bengals, one of the

1190
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: five wins for the Browns. But the Bengals are playing

1191
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: inspired football. They're playing as well as they have played

1192
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: all year longer. Coming off a win against the Kansas

1193
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, Cincinnati's favor by five and a half. I

1194
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: think Cincinnati gets that revenge. I think this is thirty

1195
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: one twenty one for the Bengals getting the win and

1196
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: the cover. Let's go Bengals. Let's go Bengals, all right.

1197
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Vikings are taken on the Lions. How about this? The

1198
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Vikings are ten and two. They're atop the NFC North.

1199
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: If they haven't clinched it, I think they've clinched it.

1200
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 1: I think if they haven't clinched it, I guess it

1201
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: could happen this week. Yeah, I guess it could. The

1202
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: Lions could still rest it away from I don't think

1203
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. The Vikings win. I think they win

1204
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:42,439
Speaker 1: the NFC North. That said, Detroit at home at five

1205
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 1: and seven is favored by two. That's right, Vikings ten

1206
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: and two, number two seed right now in the NFC

1207
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 1: is a two point dog to a five and seventeen

1208
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: in Detroit. I would love to see Detroit win this.

1209
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: That would kind of go along with what I had

1210
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: said about the Troy's the beginning of year. I knew

1211
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 1: the troy was gonna be much much better that one

1212
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 1: I got right. Everybody in the NFC East I pretty

1213
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: much got wrong, but that one I got right. However,

1214
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: this one, I think the Vikings will get this win

1215
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: and that gives them the cover because they're the underdog.

1216
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: Is the ten and two team? All right, let's go

1217
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville in Tennessee. This game will take place in Nashville. Boy,

1218
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: there's a little big mots of ball to take down

1219
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 1: with this one because the Tits fired GM John Robinson,

1220
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: which doesn't have a ton to do with what's gonna

1221
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: happen on the field this weekend, but just the directions

1222
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: of where the Titans are going becomes interesting. But Jaguars

1223
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: may not have Trevor Lawrence, as we discussed earlier. If

1224
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is not gonna play, I think Tennessee wins

1225
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: this and covers at three and a half very easily.

1226
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: If Trevor plays, and you know what, I'm gonna go.

1227
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: With Trevor playing, I'm gonna give Tennessee to win in

1228
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: a very narrow cover. I think Jacksonville makes this very difficult.

1229
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars are playing much better football last week,

1230
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: notwithstanding against the Detroit Lions. But the Titans are gonna

1231
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: get this win with a narrow cover if Trevor. If

1232
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: it starts going sideways, maybe the Jaguars pulled Trevor Lawrence

1233
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: and then it becomes a fourteen seventeen point win. Tennessee

1234
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: just doesn't win games that way. They got hammered last

1235
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,919
Speaker 1: week against Philadelphia. I don't think they get hammered this week.

1236
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a physical matchup. The Titans are gonna

1237
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: win that and just barely cover that three and a half.

1238
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: All Right, This game on the surface looks fantastic. At noon,

1239
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 1: Eagles at Giants. Now we discuss Siquon Barkley. He is

1240
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: questionable with the neck issue. But the Eagles are loaded.

1241
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: They've found a second wind. They played amazingly against Tennessee.

1242
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: I think they go to MetLife and absolutely trounce the Giants.

1243
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is a seven point favorite on the road, and

1244
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: I think they get all over New York. I think

1245
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: New York is finding out now that not that the

1246
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 1: wins earlier were some fool's goal, but they want a

1247
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: lot of one squa games, a lot of them, and

1248
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: every break was going their way. Well they're not going

1249
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: their way this time. They had a lead late against

1250
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: the Commanders, couldn't hold it. They ended up with a tie.

1251
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: This week, it's no tie. Eagles beat Giants by ten.

1252
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 1: That's a cover role with it. The NFC North produces

1253
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: arguably one of the top I don't even think it's

1254
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: arguable one of the top three rivalries. Arguably the best

1255
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: rivalry in the NFL, and that's the Baltimore Ravens taking

1256
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 1: on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, the Steelers gotta win at

1257
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta last week and playing better they they went to

1258
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: They went to Indianapolis and went on a Monday night

1259
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 1: they watching Atlanta, won that game, and now they come

1260
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: home at five and seven. They're still in the mix

1261
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: for a playoff spot. They're still sitting there. The rains

1262
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: ain't four, it's no Tyler Huntley, and I think for

1263
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: that reason, Pittsburgh's favored by two. I like Tyler Huntley,

1264
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: and I like when when it's back up against the wall.

1265
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: It won't happen in this one, though. Steelers win at

1266
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: home and cover the two I mean twos, not quite

1267
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: pick them, but I don't think they'll win by one

1268
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: or two. I think they'll end up winning this thing

1269
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: by three or more. Steelers beat Ravens. They need Lamar

1270
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: back soon. Even though I don't think Tyler Huntley will

1271
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: be the reason the Ravens lose, I do think having

1272
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: Lamar would help the Ravens win that game. Steelers win

1273
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 1: that by more than two. I hope that logic made sense,

1274
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: all right. This game was supposed to be a Sun

1275
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: and eight game, but it got lexed out because the

1276
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: Broncos stink. The Broncos are three and nine. Kansas City's

1277
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 1: coming to town at nine and three. These two teams

1278
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 1: are thought to be neck and neck going into the year.

1279
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes against Russell Wilson. It's not turned out that way.

1280
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City's a nine point favorite in Denver, and I'm

1281
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: ready to lay those points. Kansas City can't score. They

1282
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: cannot score, and the Chiefs will get as much as

1283
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 1: they need this feels like twenty four to nine. The

1284
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs will get back in the scoring ways after last

1285
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: week when they lost to Cincinnati. Stopping the Broncos will

1286
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 1: be much easier than stopping the Bengals. Chiefs win this

1287
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: by more than nine. I'm going twenty four to nine.

1288
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs win that and that covers to nine afternoon game

1289
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: just like Chiefs Broncos Buccaneers going to the forty nine years.

1290
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 1: Brock Purdy will start for the forty nine Ers against

1291
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, and the Bucks have gotten back to six

1292
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: and six, but they shouldn't be. They should lost that

1293
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 1: game to New Orleans on Monday night, mark Ingraman out

1294
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: of bounds early. That sort of got the the Buccaneers

1295
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: back on track. They won that game late. San Frantistco's

1296
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: fair about three and a half. And that is just

1297
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 1: because Brock Purdy is a starter. I don't think, honestly

1298
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: the matters. I think Purdy gets in the machine, drives

1299
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: it well. They win and cover and moved to nine

1300
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: and four. As Brady plays for the last time out

1301
01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco and his hometown. I don't know, we'll see

1302
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: the forty nine is gonna win that game. By more

1303
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: than three and a half. Panthers take it on the Seahawks.

1304
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 1: Panthers are four and eight. Now here's one of those

1305
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: games where we really like for the Panthers to win,

1306
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: really like for them to win. I don't think it's

1307
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 1: gonna happen the Seahawks at home. They're favored by three

1308
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 1: and a half. Panthers have played a little bit better

1309
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 1: with Sam Darnold. But the Seahawks are gonna go get

1310
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 1: that win. They got it against the Rams with a

1311
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: late Gino Smith the DK Metcalf touchdown. I think they

1312
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 1: go get it this week at home. They'll win that

1313
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: game by more than three and a half. But I

1314
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: really want the Panthers to win that game. We all

1315
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 1: would like the Panthers win that game, if you know

1316
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: what I mean. More wins for three, four and five

1317
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:43,639
Speaker 1: win teams always help, just create some space and then

1318
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: move the Browns back up in the draft status. All right,

1319
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: Sunday night game they got flexed into. It was Dolphins

1320
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 1: Chargers is the battle of the two quarterbacks taken back

1321
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: to back into twenty twenty NFL Draft to a Tongo

1322
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: by Low for the Dolphins, Justin Herbert for the Chargers

1323
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. The Miami Dolphins are favored by three,

1324
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: so Miami has stayed out on the West Coast to

1325
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: get ready for this game. They played in San Francisco

1326
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 1: when they stayed out there, and they're gonna take on

1327
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I think that's gonna help them. I do

1328
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: think Miami is gonna bounce back. Miami's gonna win his

1329
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: football game. The Chargers are just all over the map.

1330
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: The Chargers are at Jackson Pollockan. They have stuff everywhere,

1331
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to figure out is a good painting

1332
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 1: is the bad painting. I don't know. I can't figure

1333
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 1: out the Charges. I thought the Charges would be much better.

1334
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: They're not that Dolphins win cover the three Patriots Cardinals

1335
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 1: on Monday night. Man, what a battle this is. Cardinals

1336
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: coming off a bye. Patriots at six and six, New

1337
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: England's favored by one and a half. But you know what,

1338
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:41,640
Speaker 1: Monday night at home. The Cardinals have not played well

1339
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 1: at home, but I think they'll get this one. I

1340
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 1: think they'll well, they're an underdog by one and a half,

1341
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:48,600
Speaker 1: So let's go. Cardinals. Put the mild upset and the

1342
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: win over the Patriots. All right, those are your predictions

1343
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: for all games, straight up and against the spread. We

1344
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,680
Speaker 1: get back Houston Methodist Minutes. We'll get the breakdown of

1345
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys from Nick Kissario and it's Drew Dorty's Final

1346
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: where Dar goombawally. Next on Texans Access, we want to

1347

Speaker 1: before we call it a night, and we're gonna start

1351
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: with our Houston Methodist Minutes. Each every week, Mark Vanniemer

1352
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: sits down with one of the great doctors or contributors

1353
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 1: from Houston Methodists to have a little discussion for you

1354
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 1: as you take it into the weekend, Mark take it away.

1355
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: It's Houston Methodist Minutes and joining us right now as

1356
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: Amanda Beaver registered dietitian with Houston Methodist. Amanda, how's it

1357
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: going great to have you on? Thank you? I'm doing great?

1358
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's talk about holiday eating because I

1359
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: know I'm doing my share already. We had Thanksgiving and

1360
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 1: then there just doesn't seem to be much let up

1361
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:49,679
Speaker 1: as you get through Christmas. New year's whatever. Holidays, people

1362
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,799
Speaker 1: celebrate a lot of holiday eating and people trying to

1363
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: stay if not fit, at least well slim enough to

1364
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: get to the new year in decent. Can you give

1365
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: me some tips as here we are around the office

1366
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: or wherever you may be, and there are a lot

1367
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: of goodies around, it's very easy access. Yeah. So I

1368
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: think the first thing that when it comes to holiday

1369
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:18,839
Speaker 1: eating is to just remember that it is okay to

1370
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: have some treats and one cookie or one piece of

1371
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 1: cheesecake isn't going to be our undoing. And I think

1372
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:28,560
Speaker 1: it's that kind of like guilt that we have sometimes

1373
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: that can really give us maybe an unhealthy relationship with

1374
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 1: desserts and sweets and things like that. So my first

1375
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: tip is to give yourself permission to have a cookie

1376
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: if you want to, but to make sure that you're

1377
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: not skipping your balanced meals throughout the day. So if

1378
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 1: there is a holiday party at work, or you know

1379
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: there's going to be a bunch of goodies in the

1380
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: break room, bring your lunch that day and bring a

1381
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: lunch and maybe eat a breakfast in the morning that's

1382
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 1: balanced and that has some fruits or veggies or has

1383
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: some color on it and has a protein source. So

1384
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: these protein sources and fruits and veggies that we get

1385
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: our balanced meals are going to help keep us feeling

1386
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 1: full and satisfied. And that way, when we walk into

1387
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 1: our breakroom and there's a bunch of cookies, maybe we'll

1388
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:29,720
Speaker 1: have just one instead of three because we're feeling so

1389
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: fueled and satisfied from our balanced meals. Amanda, one more

1390
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: bonus question for you here and getting away from the

1391
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: holiday eating all together, tell me something. The three square

1392
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: meals of the day, for lack of a better way

1393
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,719
Speaker 1: putting that, but the three squares a day, which should

1394
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: be the biggest meal of the day, should it be

1395
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: launched breakfast, dinner? How do you see it? How do

1396
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: you like to divide it up? Yeah, so I recommend

1397
01:12:55,920 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: either making breakfast or lunch the biggest meal of the day.

1398
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: In American culture, A lot of times I think we

1399
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 1: want to have dinner as our biggest meal of the day.

1400
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,640
Speaker 1: But I don't know about you, but usually by the

1401
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 1: time I get to be eating dinner, after I finish eating,

1402
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,639
Speaker 1: I just want to be relaxing on the couch, maybe

1403
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: watching some TV. And I'm not all of that food

1404
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 1: is not going to have a chance to be utilized.

1405
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: So if we make our bigger meal earlier in the day,

1406
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,679
Speaker 1: we're going to be utilizing that food and utilizing those

1407
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: calories throughout the rest of our day. And there also

1408
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: have been a few studies that have shown that our

1409
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: metabolic rate is higher earlier in the day rather than later,

1410
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:48,760
Speaker 1: so our body actually does prefer to have more of

1411
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 1: its calories earlier than later. Very good information, Amanda. We

1412
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 1: really appreciate the time. Thanks so much, and have a

1413
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 1: great holiday season. Thank you, take care and have a

1414
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: good one. Amanda Beaver, registered Dietitian for Houston Methodist, the

1417
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,639
Speaker 1: and of course Mark Vanimir And look, holiday eating, We're

1418
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 1: all gonna do it, but just try and do it

1419
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 1: with some restraint. It's at the word I'm looking for

1420
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 1: a restraint. I'm saying that to you because I'm saying

1421
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 1: it to myself. All right, let's dive into something that

1422
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 1: I've actually made a Friday staple now, Nicko Sario each

1423
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 1: and every week, joins us on Wednesdays, and about halfway

1424
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:38,559
Speaker 1: through the conversation, I always wait for it. I love

1425
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 1: when I could just all right, Nick, we've done talking

1426
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: about the team from the week before, give us the

1427
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: scouting report on the team we're about to play. And

1428
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 1: he knows it inside Now. I absolutely love this. I

1429
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: feel like the only person that knows maybe the scouting

1430
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,679
Speaker 1: report a little bit better than me is Nick. So

1431
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: let's hear from Nick the scouting report on the Dallas Cowboys.

1432
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: They're a really good football team, I'd say on all

1433
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 1: three levels, offensively, defensive, in the kicking game. I think

1434
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:08,679
Speaker 1: Mike's done a really good job. Mike's has accomplished head

1435
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: coaches or is in the league anytime you win a

1436
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and a good organization. So I think Mike's

1437
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 1: done a good job. And I'd say they have a

1438
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: very experienced coaching staff when you look at the composition

1439
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 1: both offensively, defensively and in a kicking game with bones Um,

1440
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 1: who's as good of a special teams coordinator is in

1441
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: the league. You know. Defensively, I think Dan has kind

1442
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: of modified some of the things that he's done over

1443
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 1: the course of his career. This isn't just the old

1444
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 1: Seattle three, but you know it's Dan's experienced. Dan kind

1445
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: of worked under Pete, but I'd say Dan's evolved when

1446
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: you look at how they're playing defensively. They have George

1447
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:42,639
Speaker 1: Edwards who kind of has a background with coach Zimmer

1448
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 1: and Joe Witt, you know, who has kind of a

1449
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,680
Speaker 1: background with you know, with Mike in Green Bay. But

1450
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 1: I would say the thing that stands out about them

1451
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 1: is just their overall athleticism, their speed and their length.

1452
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: I mean they have speed and length essentially at all

1453
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: three levels of the defense. You know. Parsons, I mean,

1454
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: there's really not much you can say about him other

1455
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 1: than he does literally everything well. I mean, it's hard

1456
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 1: to find holes in this player in his game. He's

1457
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 1: as unique a player, honestly as there is in the league.

1458
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 1: When you look at what he'd done. He played off

1459
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 1: the Ballpenn State, and then he's basically transitioned to playing

1460
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 1: defensive end and he basically presents a problem wherever he

1461
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 1: is lined up. But I mean, he does everything well.

1462
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 1: He's fast, he's explosive. I mean, he's he's the problem,

1463
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to count for but their front,

1464
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: I would say presents a lot of issues as well.

1465
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: They I think they lead a league in sacks and

1466
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 1: they pressured a quarterback mostly from a four down front.

1467
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: So between Lawrence, between Parsons, you know, they have a

1468
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 1: number of players that they roll through. Dante Foller has

1469
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 1: given us some snaps. They're really a nickel defense, so

1470
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 1: they've kind of we talked about this at different points.

1471
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: So there's sixty five seventy percent nickel defense. So whether

1472
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:50,640
Speaker 1: it's big Nickel with curse and the nickel spot or

1473
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Bland the rookie who's kind of replaced Jordan Lewis, and

1474
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:56,639
Speaker 1: then vander esh is on the field for all groups,

1475
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 1: so he's really having a good year. So good front,

1476
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: good at the second level and the secondary you know,

1477
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: digs his production on the balls as good as any player.

1478
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 1: Anytime he touched thirty two you know, get your hands

1479
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: at thirty two balls. I know it was last year,

1480
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 1: but former receiver really good ball skills and Old Brown

1481
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 1: got hurt last night, so the or the other night,

1482
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: so they're gonna have to transition somebody else there and

1483
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,680
Speaker 1: they play multiple, you know, multiple safeties. They are kind

1484
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 1: of a three safety team. So, I mean defensively, they

1485
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 1: present a lot of problems I'd say with their speed,

1486
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: their athleticism, their effort, and then Dan's done a good

1487
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,480
Speaker 1: job sort of modifying some of the things that they do. Offensively,

1488
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 1: They've been pretty consistent from the beginning of the year,

1489
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 1: even though when Cooper had a play, I mean it

1490
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: kind of held the four Tayreth Coop and Coop did

1491
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 1: a good job. And then Dak's come back, and I'd

1492
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 1: say since he's come back, they've been good of an

1493
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 1: offensives in the league. I mean that they're averaging thirty

1494
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 1: five points a game over four hunyards offense. So Dak

1495
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 1: just playing well. Good offensive line. It's a bunch of

1496
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: new faces though it's not kind of a lot of

1497
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 1: the players that have been there other than Zach. You know,

1498
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 1: Zach has been there Martin. But they drafted Tyler Smith,

1499
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, from Tulsa in the first round and he's

1500
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 1: actually had a kind of play away a tackle because

1501
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: of what happened to Tyrant. So they've done a good

1502
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: job in the offense line. Coach Philbin does a good

1503
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,799
Speaker 1: job with that group. And then two really good backs.

1504
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they're really pick a winner like there, they

1505
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 1: kind of compliment each other. They're both a problem and

1506
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: they're on the field and they're a twelve and kind

1507
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: of eleven personnel, but they play three and four tight

1508
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:21,600
Speaker 1: ends at different points, So between Schultz, between Ferguson, you know,

1509
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 1: the rookie out of out of Wisconsin McKeon. So so

1510
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: they and they ceedee Lamb is as good or receiver

1511
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: or is in the league, and they use him a

1512
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:34,519
Speaker 1: variety of different spots. I think he's targeted as I mean,

1513
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:36,720
Speaker 1: the top five in terms of targets in the league. So,

1514
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 1: I mean they're really a good they're a good team.

1515
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: And then a kicking game. You know, Anger's done a

1516
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: pretty good job for them, Brent Maher has done a

1517
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: good job, and then Turpin's really giving them some plays

1518
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 1: of return a kind of out of nowhere. So very athletic,

1519
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,800
Speaker 1: very explosive team. I mean that game was twenty one

1520
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 1: to thirteen or whatever it was, and then all of

1521
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: a sudden they got out of hand with a handful

1522
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 1: of plays. So you know, just want to try to

1523
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:58,800
Speaker 1: keep it, you know, in the same zip code there

1524
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 1: for a little bit. But they have a lot of

1525
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 1: really good players and they've done a good job, I

1526
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: would say, of drafting and developing a number of good players.

1527
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:07,640
Speaker 1: In that three or four minute clip, Nick hits on

1528
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: basically every aspect of the Cowboys. It's pretty amazing. And

1529
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: when he comes to studio doesn't have it on the phone.

1530
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't. It's all from rope memory what he's talking

1531
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:19,640
Speaker 1: about with the Dallas Cowboys. And I always find that

1532
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: so so freaking impressive that he knows that team that

1533
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 1: well inside and out. I just wanted to play it

1534
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 1: here in our final segment. It's become kind of a

1535
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: Friday staple, so I think I'm gonna stick with it

1536
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: now we always and every Friday show with another Friday staple.

1537
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 1: And that is the last word with Drew Dorty. Drudoorty's

1538
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: last word is with Daria Goombawala, who won in Jenga.

1539
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,640
Speaker 1: But well, this isn't about revenge, really, this is just

1540
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: more about talking about the game itself. It's not a dozen.

1541
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 1: It's more about the game and what Dari can bring

1542
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 1: to it. It's ceter in a preview of that. So

1543
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 1: so with to Drew. For Jrudoorty's final word this week,

1544
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: it's with Daria Galle. All right, we've got running back

1545
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: Dari goon Bowalle for the pregame interview. And Dara, you're

1546
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 1: taking on the Dallas Cowboys. How do you get that

1547
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 1: sour taste out of your mouth? Obviously it's a win,

1548
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 1: but what do you do to go about winning? Really? Man, offense,

1549
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 1: we just got to put points on the board. That's

1550
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 1: just our focus being efficient on first and second down,

1551
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: keeping us out along third downs. But at the end

1552
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 1: of the day, you just gotta put points on the board.

1553
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:22,600
Speaker 1: So that's been our focal point for the week. I

1554
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:24,799
Speaker 1: know you want wins, but has it been nice getting,

1555
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, on the individual side, getting a little bit

1556
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 1: more reps, more attention on offense for you? Of course,

1557
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'm being in a position to help the team,

1558
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,800
Speaker 1: you know anyway, So offense obviously, being a running back,

1559
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 1: I want to play running back, so I'm just getting

1560
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: a chance to make plays on offense has been great.

1561
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 1: But like you said, I mean, the goal is to

1562
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 1: win the game, and I just got to make sure

1563
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:44,919
Speaker 1: I do what I gotta do to make that possible.

1564
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 1: And you have made plays when your number has been called.

1565
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:49,839
Speaker 1: What's going on? How come you're getting that positive yardage

1566
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: when when you're running the ball or when you're catching it.

1567
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 1: It's just I mean, that's just what I try to do,

1568
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:55,639
Speaker 1: you know, Like I said, when my number is called,

1569
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: just trying to make the play best I can. And

1570
01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:59,720
Speaker 1: I've been getting in some good opportunities. And obviously the

1571
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:01,800
Speaker 1: old has been blocking for me. They've been blocking all

1572
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 1: seasons for me, so I'm just getting a chance to

1573
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 1: make plays when they asked me too. It's been great.

1574
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks, which Davis Mills will start again. I know

1575
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 1: you played a lot with them. What have you thought

1576
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: about what he can do now they're watching for the

1577
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 1: last two Yeah, I mean it's people talk about all

1578
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:16,840
Speaker 1: the time, like when you're the kind of the six

1579
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 1: man off the bench, getting a chance to see it

1580
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 1: from the sideline. I feel like that's what Davis has

1581
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: been able to do last couple of weeks. Just I'm

1582
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:24,679
Speaker 1: kind of get a feel for him from the sidelines again,

1583
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 1: just not being out there, but getting a chance to

1584
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 1: read defenses in a different way. So I'm excited to

1585
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:32,599
Speaker 1: have him back out there. Obviously he's a great quarterback,

1586
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 1: great leader, so I'm the offense is excited to have

1587
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: him in charge again and reading this defense for him.

1588
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: For you guys, it's a stout one. What do you

1589
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:41,879
Speaker 1: make it at front seven of the Cowboys? The talented

1590
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:43,559
Speaker 1: you know, they got a lot of good players. Definitely

1591
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 1: got some good players, and they know where their strength

1592
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 1: is and that's their past for us. So we just

1593
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 1: got to make sure, like I said, we're staying out

1594
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 1: at third and long so they're not able to pin

1595
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 1: theirs back and get out to the quarterback. So that's

1596
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: our goal right now is just to make sure we

1597
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: keep it manageable. And my first and second now we

1598
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 1: make a lot of plays, so we keep moving. Now,

1599
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 1: you're not from here originally, but you've played here now

1600
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 1: this is your second stint with the team. You've been

1601
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:06,600
Speaker 1: around the NFL a little bit too. What do you

1602
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: make of the You can't really call it a rivalry

1603
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 1: right now, but just kind of the butting of heads

1604
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 1: between Dallas and Houston and playing in this game, playing

1605
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:15,719
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, for sure, those are the Cowboys sayings.

1606
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: They definitely they talk a lot. So being in Houston,

1607
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: anybody there everywhere, So being in Houston you would come

1608
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 1: across them every now and then, So It's definitely something

1609
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: that we want to do is win this game, just obviously,

1610
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 1: like you said, to get the sire taste out of

1611
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 1: our mouth, but to beat the Cowboys it would be good.

1612
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:31,559
Speaker 1: It would be good. When you're on the road and

1613
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 1: you have a noon game, what time you wake up

1614
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 1: and what are you eating for breakfast? To get ready?

1615
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 1: I'm always eating an omelet regardless, so whether that's a

1616
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 1: night game, later game, morning game, I'm gonna eat. I'm

1617
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 1: gonna eat an omelet. But what do I get up?

1618
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I usually get up around eight and head

1619
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 1: to the stadium with the with the early bus. So

1620
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: I'm pretty routine, guys. I'm always getting on the early bus. Yeah,

1621
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 1: get ready from there? All right, Hope it's an early

1622
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 1: bus to victory. Darry goomble Wally, thanks so much for

1623
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 1: the time. Best of luck against Dallas. The sure thing

1624
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:02,760
Speaker 1: there you go, man to bib Nick Kisserio, dar Google

1625
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:07,599
Speaker 1: Walle and Drew Doherty all in one final segment. Look,

1626
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how excited I am. I cognizant

1627
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 1: of where the Texans are, where the Cowboys are, I

1628
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: get it. But I love this rivalry no matter what.

1629
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:22,920
Speaker 1: It's intense, it's physical. I think it will be that

1630
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 1: way no matter what. On Sunday, and look, the Cowboys

1631
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 1: against the Colts were up twenty one to nineteen in

1632
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and the Colts had four turnovers and

1633
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 1: that just turned that game into an absolute slopfest for

1634
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 1: them and made it a fifty four nineteen win for

1635
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. There's thirty three and nothing in the fourth

1636
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:43,800
Speaker 1: quarter because they turned it over four times. Now, I'm

1637
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 1: not saying just because well, the Texas tied to Cool.

1638
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going transit property on you here, but I

1639
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 1: know the Texans are gonna go in there and they're

1640
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 1: gonna compete with what they've got. There's no Nico, there's

1641
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 1: no Brandon. They'll go in there and compete. Davis Mills

1642
01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 1: is getting back into the starting lineup and he will

1643
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: be challenged, There's no question about that because he doesn't

1644
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 1: have his main guys. But he's got to go produce.

1645
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: But the run game's got to pick it up. The

1646
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:08,719
Speaker 1: offensive line has got to give Davis some time to throw,

1647
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 1: and Dan Quinn will probably not give him that time,

1648
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 1: especially with the receivers that haven't got as much time

1649
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: as Nico and Brandon have as starters, so you can

1650
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 1: see some blitz. It's gonna be a lot of pressure.

1651
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:19,840
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of things going on in

1652
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 1: this game. The Texans have got to bring what they

1653
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:25,720
Speaker 1: have to the party and just let it fly. I mean,

1654
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: nobody expects him to win, Nobody expects him to even

1655
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 1: cover the seventeen point spread or whatever it is. So

1656
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 1: go compete. Laid on a line right there in Arlington

1657
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 1: and see where you are and see what you can do.

1658
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:36,800
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have had some stinkers this year. Now they

1659
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: find a way to win those games. But I guess

1660
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: the New York Giants a Tina Texans right hung in

1661
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: there with a penalty call here there that wasn't made.

1662
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 1: Maybe they're within four at the end and they got

1663
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 1: a chance to go down and drive and score a win.

1664
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. The Giants had that thing in

1665
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,679
Speaker 1: hand and then the Cowboys took it over in second half.

1666
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 1: So what are the Texas gonna do? Well, We're gonna

1667
