WEBVTT - Who are these Week 1 Ravens? | Texans All Access

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into Texans All Access dpcdo with you once again

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>along with Mark Vandermuir and Drew Doherty.

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Just wrapped up Texans Huddle.

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I know you guys walked in as Travis Johnson and

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Indie Kalu we're leaving.

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 2>This is gonna be a fun show, you guys.

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, they could have stayed and done Texans All Access

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 3>tex that show. He had the entire night shift on

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Sports Radio six ' ten and never stop because that's

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:22.920
<v Speaker 3>how they are.

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 2>They could have just taken us up to game week.

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean they had stories for days and then we finished,

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and then as they're leaving, they were just more and

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>more stories. So unfortunately, Travis Johnson not gonna be on

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 1>every week. Maybe we'll bring him back another week, but

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll have a player every single week.

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 3>Listen, every time I hear him, I think maybe he

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 3>needs to be on every week, right, And he used

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 3>to be on Mondays and twenty thirteen Monday nights. He

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 3>did that six to seven hour with me all the

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 3>time during a very difficult season. I'll always be grateful

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 3>for Travis Johnson for that. He did an amazing job

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 3>and it was a tough season and he was awesome

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 3>to work with all year long.

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Well now we get into Texans All Access, although I

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>gotta say only thirteen season you did that with Travis

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and then on Tuesdays we had the Player Show from

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Texans Grill with Antonio Smith, my all time favorite and

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I think he's my all time favorite because it was

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 1>such a tough season.

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:15.839
<v Speaker 2>He's we laughed so hard.

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 4>He is a gem. What a gem? I mean total

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 4>jem people. There's a lot of folks.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 5>In this building right now who have no idea who

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 5>he is, noa the turnover, and it's been a decade now.

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Well a lot of those guys and you know, they

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 3>don't know what they don't know. A lot of people

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 3>in our media department, digital media, social media when they

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 3>see the old stuff like on the Nose or the

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Ninja Assassin or whatever, they don't know and they're thinking, wow,

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 3>you guys had all that we did and there was

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 3>a lot of success on the field and hoping to

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 3>get it back to that level. I think the personalities

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 3>in place right now are really cool with this version

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 3>of the Houston Texans, and they will flourish, they will develop,

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 3>but you know, it's a process going to develop on

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 3>the field, off the field, all of it.

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think ten years from now will be

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about some of the guys on this team now

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>on the personalities that we have. Damian Pierce was a

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>season premiere, which was the big fundraiser for the Houston

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Texans Foundation.

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 2>We did it here on the stadium floor. Mark was

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 2>the MC.

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I was doing some stuff on the red carpet, and

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Damian Pierce was the player reporter. I think we'll have

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>a recap video coming up very soon. If not, it's

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>definitely gonna be on Texans three sixty Saturday night, eleven

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>PM on ABC thirteen. I've clearly worked with Mark long

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>enough to know how to pub my show, promote my shows.

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 1>But Damian Pierce is on the red carpet and he

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>was interviewing all the guys and asking them about their

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>fashion and everything.

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I feel like.

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 4>He's, you know, just a natural. He's just such a micah.

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Although I did say, you don't see me lining up

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>in the backfield trying to take your job, like here

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you are with a microphone trying to take mine.

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 2>But he was fantastic. He's always so much fun.

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 3>SOP DP and DP DPTV.

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>We get dent Tel Perryman into because they'll do it.

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 1>We're a lot of dps now and everyone's a talker.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>So all right, so you guys are not here for

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.359
<v Speaker 1>all of huddle, But we were talking about the Ravens game,

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>obviously the big game coming up this week, So let's

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>just start there with Texans all access the big headlines

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>for the week.

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Where should we start.

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 3>I think the fact that they opened the season it's

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 3>such a difficult place. That's what pops out to me.

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 3>It's not just the opener, it's not just CJ. Stroud

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 3>and numerous Texans making their debut, young and a little

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 3>bit more seasoned, but it's where you're going. It's playing

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.360
<v Speaker 3>Lamar Jackson, the former MVP in his house. All that

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.519
<v Speaker 3>the Ravens have accomplished, I think in some ways, I

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 3>don't want to call them overrated, but their accomplishments over

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 3>the last decade. Look, they've won one playoff game since

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 3>twenty fourteen. But in the regular season they are dynamite.

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 3>They are really tough to deal with at their place,

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 3>and they're going to be a tough team to beat

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 3>for everybody, and especially for this young team.

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 5>Now you bring up the last decade. Texans have never

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 5>won there in their history. So we're going back twenty

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 5>some years. They've never won in Baltimore. You've only beaten

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 5>that franchise twice. That was here in twelve and then

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.839
<v Speaker 5>again fourteen. But there was a guy, two guys really

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 5>here in fourteen that are here again in John Weeks

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 5>in case Keenum, Case Keenum did not throw a touchdown

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 5>pass in that game. You got a touchdown pass from

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 5>Arian Foster to CJ. Fedorowitz, but it was that and

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 5>a bunch of Randy bullockfield goals. You got a mighty,

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 5>mighty task in front. And I know you're gonna get

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 5>into this. We're gonna get into this a little later.

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 5>But it's a matchup of unknowns on both sides because

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 5>you don't know much about this new offense that's getting

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 5>rave reviews and rave question marks with the Ravens. But

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 5>then again, they don't know really what film to study

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 5>defensively of the Texans, And it's to a lesser degree certainly,

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 5>but yeah, there's a lot of it's a matchup of unknowns,

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 5>and that's certainly the case in Week one, no matter what.

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 5>But it's even more amplified because of the changes that

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 5>they've both made franchise wide that.

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Playing up in that stadium in Baltimore. I was listening

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 1>to Nick Cassario this morning on with Sean Pennergast and

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Seth Payne and Drew and I. We used to love

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>going into these press boxes and doing our own little

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>critique of the location.

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 5>And the story four hours before the game because there's

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 5>nobody there except for a few attendants and we walk

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 5>in and we just basically it's like an HGTV show. Yes, Oh,

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 5>I like the spaciousness of this one.

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Chairs are a little low.

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So Drew and I would do that, and I

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 1>love I love the location that press box because it's.

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Like fifty yard line. You're not that high up.

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>You're in the lower level. Like they could sell that

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>for a premium if those were seats. But Nick Casara

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>was talking about it this morning and how he from

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>the coaches vantage point, how that those seats you're really

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>low to the ground and all the fans can turn

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>around and mock you during the game. We talked about

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>taking a beating a few times, as you know, when

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>he was with the Patriots and now not having super

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 1>fun memories and how the fans would sort of turn

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>around and mock them while they were in the press.

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 3>They know they're there too, the New England. It happens

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 3>with the broadcast both, and you know they look back

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.599
<v Speaker 3>at us and like, you don't have Tom Riady on

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.359
<v Speaker 3>your team. He's the best quarterback ever and you're hearing

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 3>it from those fans all game long. And the Ravens

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.280
<v Speaker 3>the broadcast booth, I guess it's the same level because

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 3>it feels low as I recall it at BALTI feel like.

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 2>It's probably a few doors down, but in the same level.

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 4>Nice.

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 3>It's a nice booth. I mean, I got to say,

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 3>it's a huge boot. They take good care of us.

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 3>But you're right, never won there. That's tough.

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 5>Phenomenal food in that press box. Phenomenal food, crabcake, crabcakes.

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>I was like, it was something delicious, like one of.

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 3>Those Ross Tucker reviews of the press box food.

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.039
<v Speaker 1>We could Drew and I could totally do a blog

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>because we literally critique everything. But if if you do

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 1>talk to Nick, you have to tell him that I

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 1>spoke with the Baltimore Ravens team reporter.

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 2>They're moving the press box the next year.

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Not Now, what are they going to do? They're it's

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:48.600
<v Speaker 3>going to be.

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.279
<v Speaker 1>All like Tampa Bay. Do you remember in Tampa Bay

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>in the corner.

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well that's the bananas Foster speaking of press box food.

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 2>That's a huge spread.

0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 3>Normal. See that just stinks because you need to tell Nick.

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna get on my soapbox now. But all right,

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 3>I know the radio announcer for the Ravens whose name

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 3>is unfortunately Jerry Sandusky Jerry with a G, and he'll

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 3>be on later this week with us. But he is

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.920
<v Speaker 3>a radio activist, so he's going to be complaining. I

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 3>was going to use another word about them moving the

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 3>broadcast boots and the press box radio.

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 4>Look, why when you move.

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 3>TV, why don't you move TV, mister NFL team person, Well,

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 3>the TV people need to be there. I'm like, well,

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 3>don't the radio people need to see it too? No,

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 3>we don't need to see it. We can be in

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 3>the corner because it's just radio. No, we need to

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 3>actually see it too. How about that? I would say

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 3>that the writers need to see it less than the

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 3>broadcast people, because we are actually describing the action as

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 3>it occurs. But don't get me started.

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you still need your binoculars?

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 3>I always need my binoculars. I always use them no

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 3>matter what the situation is because I feel like I

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 3>want to get right in there. There's very few spots,

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 3>you know. One of them, though, I went to a

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 3>game at Aggie Land. We can talk about this later.

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 3>I went to my first Aggie game in years, and

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 3>it was really cool to be there, and I thought

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 3>I had really good seats Aggie Land. Everybody's right on

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 3>top of the field.

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm still in an upper deck in a club level

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 3>on the shady side, thank goodness. But I felt like

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 3>I could still see it, like I could actually call

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 3>that game without binoculars. But an answer to your question,

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 3>I always use binoculars.

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, well next year you're definitely gonna have to

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>use binoculars.

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 5>Because one of my favorite press box experiences all time

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 5>with a fan was in the playoff game at Baltimore.

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.080
<v Speaker 5>Didn't end up great, but right before the playoff game started,

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 5>one of my friends who I was a sports anchor

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 5>at the Fox affiliate in Lubbock. This guy was a

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.560
<v Speaker 5>sports anchor at the ABC affiliate in Lubbock and he

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 5>has since gone on to CNN. His name is Andy Schulz.

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.559
<v Speaker 5>He does a sports at CNN and but he's from Houston,

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 5>massive Houston Texans fan. He was a Rockets ball boy

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 5>back in the day, but pregame, he knows being in

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 5>the media, knows where the press box is. He has

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 5>on a jacket and there was a cold day in

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 5>one of those stocking caps and he he saw me

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 5>in the press box before I saw him. And he

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 5>gets right up against the glass, bangs on the glass, opens.

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.239
<v Speaker 4>Up his jerty's jacket. He's got a battle red.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.680
<v Speaker 5>Andre Johnson jersey on and he's like yelling, going and

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 5>it's like you can't hear anything. You'd share the ding

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 5>tink on the glass and he's probably going at like

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 5>four thousand decibels, but it's just like sound perfect and

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 5>he's going bananas.

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So it's fun.

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Do you guys like being reporters when they don't open

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.439
<v Speaker 3>the windows? They don't know open the windows here of

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 3>the press box either right, you can't or they don't.

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 3>I think they can, but they don't.

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 2>They can't. But now they're TVs, they're TV's installed by

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 2>the way the windows, so I think you can't. I

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 2>don't think. I think since they've opened him last.

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:47.079
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 5>I don't mind it being open because it's kind nice.

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 5>When the Saints in the Saints game the other day,

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, there's some fun plays and I could go.

0:09:56.120 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Whoa, but it didn't know, nobody would hear you if.

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:01.200
<v Speaker 4>The windows have been closed.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Right for fans who don't know, most press box windows

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 3>are closed, and you're not supposed to cheer in the

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 3>press box.

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 4>And I wasn't cheering, but right, but if.

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 3>The Texans make a big play, you're not supposed to

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 3>say yes, no way, right, even.

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 4>The nicest but.

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.680
<v Speaker 1>That press box though, I could have all I could say,

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.959
<v Speaker 1>talk to you. We'd be right next to each other,

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>and I can't hear you.

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it gets really loud. Yeah, when the windows are open,

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 2>you can't even hear yourself.

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.439
<v Speaker 5>In the regular it was okay that they didn't have

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:33.959
<v Speaker 5>it was regular season.

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you can't hear it.

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:35.439
<v Speaker 2>We played Week.

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>One there right after and yeah, and Kenny stills the

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>game speaking of Laramie Tunsil. One of the headlines, obviously

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the old line for the Texas Sunday's game. What's going

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to happen? I guess we shall find out. But Titus

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Howard day to day, according to the head coach Tamiko

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Ryan's yesterday, he was out at practice, not really sure

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.680
<v Speaker 1>what his status is going to be for Sunday's game.

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 2>But if he comes back, where would he play?

0:10:59.080 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 4>When he right?

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 2>But what do you play guard? Where would he? Where

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 2>would he go?

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 3>This is important to to regulate and calibrate. Really, calibrate

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 3>is a better word. The Demico Ryan's injury translator. Right, Oh,

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 3>we don't know his terminology yet, you don't we knew

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 3>the koobiak one. He's got a foot, he's got an ankle,

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 3>he's he's okay. Well, Bill O'Brien, for instance, he's gonna

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 3>miss some time. If that's missed sometime comes out that

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 3>that's a that's a long it's weeks, right, miss sometime.

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 3>But O'Brien saying it's not life threatening might be a

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 3>week or less possible if he says it's not life threatening,

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 3>that's what he would say. For Demiico to say, day

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.079
<v Speaker 3>to day, I'm curious. I'm gonna see how Titus ends up,

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 3>and if Titus plays, I'm gonna know what day to

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 3>day means. Day to day now we're all day to day, right,

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 3>so it could have a lot of latitude there, but

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm monitoring and I will have updates weekly on the

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Demico Ryan's injury translator.

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>might see him in week one, just because in camp

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:05.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times Mik o'ryans would say he's making progress,

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>he's headed in the right direction. Yeah, So I feel like,

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>but unless it's regular season now and now it's a

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>whole new translator and we don't want to give out.

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Anything, I think it could be.

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 5>I just thought it was a big deal a couple

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 5>of weeks ago when Titus Howard had pads on and

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 5>was out there of practice, because that was a bit

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 5>of a surprise to some folks seeing that. So I

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 5>think weeks ago seeing that kind of bodes well for

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 5>him playing. And then just to add on to y'allost

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 5>Bill O'Brien aspect of things, my favorite part of Bill

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 5>O'Brien and injuries was when a reporter would say X

0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:42.079
<v Speaker 5>player said that my player is actually doing pretty well,

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.440
<v Speaker 5>And a lot of times that X player was either

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 5>Jadeveon Clowney or DJ Swerringer, which you knew it like

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 5>on the inside was immolating, Yeah, just furious, and he

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.680
<v Speaker 5>would respond with something like, oh well, doctor Swerringer said

0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 5>that I loved it when he called a player doctor

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 5>that that meant clown you just you, You've you've got

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 5>a gold plated doghouse that you're in with h O'Brien and.

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>That well, speaking of dog plated gold houses or gold

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.480
<v Speaker 1>plated doghouses, a dog.

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Plated gold well, it could be the same thing.

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 1>And doctor Clowney will be facing him or the textans I.

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Can't believe we're going to see doctor Clowney.

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Clowney.

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't like this at all.

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 5>Still a Houstonian lives in the city, but he's uh

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:27.559
<v Speaker 5>playing for the Ravens.

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 3>I am looking forward to that injury report on Wednesday

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.320
<v Speaker 3>as much as I've looked forward to a lot of

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 3>things in my life. I really want to see who's

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 3>got what what they're listed as. And I know a

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 3>lot of it's questionable and you're not going to know anyway,

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 3>but both teams. I want to see this because I've

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 3>got a feeling the Ravens have some things up their sleeve,

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 3>meaning secrets up their sleeve and not good ones. They're

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:54.640
<v Speaker 3>they're kind of holding things back from the media, and

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 3>that injury report has to be It's not always a

0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 3>direct revelation of things, but it does give you some ideas.

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.319
<v Speaker 3>By the way, if you google doctor Clowney, you get

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 3>a lot of doctor Clowney's in the country. There are

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 3>doctor Clowns and not Jadevion.

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.200
<v Speaker 2>The picture of Jadevion with scraps.

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Now, well, you know, we started off talking about the

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 1>O line, but I think for speaking of your injury report,

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it'll be interesting to see the Ravens their

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>cornerback situation. Yeah, no, Moreland Humphrey, you had a foot injury,

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be out for a few games. But they've

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>just had a lot of injuries there, So I mean,

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Does that bode well for the Texans

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers.

0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Can we read into that.

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 3>I'd rather have Lamar Jackson retire than any of that.

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't care about the cars.

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 3>I'll take whatever I can get as far as Ravens

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 3>injuries here to make life a little bit easier for

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 3>this Houston offense. Because the Texans offensive line is the

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:43.840
<v Speaker 3>thing that we have to be concerned about here. Let's

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 3>say Titus can go. If Titus can go, you have

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 3>shack Titus Laramie good. Okay, And we don't know how

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 3>they're going to put together center and guard apart from

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 3>those three. But maybe Patterson, who played a bunch against

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 3>the Saints, maybe they do something else. Maybe they bring

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 3>up Deeter, May they bring up Peter to play guard.

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how they're gonna hand.

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 4>Maybe Josh Jones gets slid in there line.

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 3>I would think he's got a shot to do it.

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 3>He's capable of it. And they have to put their

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 3>best five on the field. No matter how they set

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 3>it up. You can't afford to get well. Titus has

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 3>to play tackle because he's a tackle. If you think

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Josh Jones is going to be better at tackle than guard,

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 3>but Titus can handle guard, you might have to make

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.880
<v Speaker 3>that move right here if Titus is available. I'm just

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 3>assuming that for this conversation. I was joking last week

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 3>you could do a contest guess the Texans offensive line

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 3>starters and maybe get insurance on that deal and give

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 3>away a nice prize because it's gonna be tough for

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people to guess what the Texans offensive

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 3>line is going to be come Sunday at noon.

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>And I think there's a really good chance that you're

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna have some starters that have not suited up in

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>a Texans uniform yet through preseason. Oh yeah, at all, right,

0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Like Josh Jones, obviously he was at it right, traded

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>for here in camp.

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Did not did he play? He has not played.

0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 3>No, Titus hasn't played, Josh Jones. What about Titus has

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 3>he Did he play against New England?

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 4>No? Out?

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.360
<v Speaker 5>Remember, Okay, Titus was gone within that first week of

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 5>training camp.

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 4>It was early.

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I'm.

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Talking about guys that have not been with the Texans.

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, new players, new faces. We saw Dieter against

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the New Orleans Saints, which is that was kind of

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the end for Kenyon Green when you

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>saw him come in with the ones and then Kenyon

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 1>backing him up, and then obviously Kenyon we know he's

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 1>now done for the year.

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if Kenyan had played well in that game

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 3>and didn't aggravate something his shoulder because he grabbed his

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 3>shoulder clearly after that.

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 2>He was also playing with the twos, which was a

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 2>bit worse I mean, that.

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 3>Was definitely a sign of things perhaps, but man, I

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 3>would welcome him playing well in that game and just

0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 3>rising back up through the depth chart. He's got the

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.080
<v Speaker 3>ability to do it. But he's on IR now after

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 3>the season, and you want him to get healed up

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 3>and ready as possible for twenty twenty.

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Four and then at the center position.

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 1>So j scrugs ir, Yeah, obviously, Scott question and Mary, ir,

0:16:58.920 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 1>what happens there?

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you bring up Jimmy Morrissey, I think the squad.

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 3>Dieter Morrissey, Patterson. You could go, I think Patterson's the likeliest,

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.719
<v Speaker 3>but you could also say Kendrick Well, I don't know.

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 3>He played a bunch against the Saints, and maybe that's

0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 3>just the way they go. Maybe they don't like it.

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Maybe they go Kendrick Green who did it in Pittsburgh.

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.240
<v Speaker 3>But he's only been here for a couple of weeks.

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 3>So how do you handle that? This is this is

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 3>a mystery. That's why I say you could run a

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 3>contest here. Who's going to start on the offensive line.

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.719
<v Speaker 3>I can give you Laramie and Shack for sure, and

0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.680
<v Speaker 3>Titus I'm hoping. But after the other two spots, there's

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 3>a lot of mystery and if it, if Titus is there,

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.600
<v Speaker 3>then it's just just those two, just forty percent of

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.640
<v Speaker 3>your own line. But I think that they can work

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.879
<v Speaker 3>this out. You do have prep, you have practice, You

0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 3>can get ready for it. You get ready for the

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 3>noise as best you can. C. J. Stroud, Captain Stroud

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.120
<v Speaker 3>has to be ready for anything against the.

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:52.160
<v Speaker 4>Regle of your memories.

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 5>How do you feel going into week one with this

0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 5>offensive line and the question marks versus how you felt

0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:02.679
<v Speaker 5>going into week one one twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen with

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:06.119
<v Speaker 5>those offensive lines. Keep in mind, in twenty seventeen, Dwayne

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.480
<v Speaker 5>Brown was holding out, Yeah, and you had the rest

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.119
<v Speaker 5>of that crew, and then in twenty eighteen Dwayne was gone.

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:15.360
<v Speaker 3>In twenty seventeen, I underestimated Jacksonville. I thought, oh, it's Jacksonville.

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 3>You should be okay. On opening day, you're starting Tom Savage,

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.720
<v Speaker 3>you should be all right. Twenty eighteen set the stage

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:22.680
<v Speaker 3>for me O line wise.

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.119
<v Speaker 4>In twenty eighteen when like Julian Davenport.

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because you didn't have Laramie yet. The next year

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.199
<v Speaker 3>you didn't have Dwayne anymore obviously, So yeah, twenty eighteen

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 3>and I was thinking of the twenty eighteen opener the

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.879
<v Speaker 3>other day for this reason. Remember the first was it

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 3>the first snap where they fumbled? Were the first? I

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.359
<v Speaker 3>think it was at New England and you fumble and

0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 3>you give Tom Brady the ball at the twenty basically ouch.

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.159
<v Speaker 3>You know, you have to avoid colossal mistakes early in

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.919
<v Speaker 3>the at any time in this game. But if you

0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:57.160
<v Speaker 3>can get the operations smooth, get it to Pierce, let's Stroud,

0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 3>make some easy ish easy for me to say, throws Schultz, Pierce,

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:04.719
<v Speaker 3>you know, Niko over the middle, get a little bit

0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 3>of that going, play some good d Look that's the

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 3>recipe here, and you got to find a way to

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 3>generate takeaways.

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, CJ.

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Stratt, We were talking about this on the Players show

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Who They Who?

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Did? Travis and Indie.

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Think we're gonna be the sort of the weapons to

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:19.600
<v Speaker 1>stand up where they show one.

0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.760
<v Speaker 2>So Travis is really excited about Tank Dell has gotta.

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 4>Be, Yeah, gotta be.

0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:25.840
<v Speaker 1>They were asking me and then and and Indy wanted

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>to know, aside from from Tank, who else I was

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.800
<v Speaker 1>excited about because and we both sort of talked about

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Dalton Schultz for that reason.

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:34.520
<v Speaker 2>He's sort of the veteran guy.

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.439
<v Speaker 1>I think Stroud even talked about how he's someone that

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 1>he's been able to really lean on and build some chemistry.

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I think they worked out in the off season together

0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 2>out in l A. Noah Brown is interesting, is.

0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Interesting as an option because we saw him make some catches,

0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.439
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, you think of Nico and and and Damian Pierce.

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are we gonna are we gonna run the

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 1>ball a little bit more with Damien Because you say.

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 5>We're listening off all these pass catchers, I think you

0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 5>gotta be excited about just run game as al. You

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 5>saw what Pierce was able to do last year, and

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:07.040
<v Speaker 5>you presume that this offensive system is better on the whole,

0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 5>and it's going to be better running the ball well,

0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.080
<v Speaker 5>that bodes really well for a guy who was kind

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:13.920
<v Speaker 5>of having to make a lot of his yards by

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 5>himself last year.

0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:16.120
<v Speaker 4>That's exciting.

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 5>And then you mix in Singletary, maybe even you sprinkle

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 5>in a little bit of Mike Boone, who man, he

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.120
<v Speaker 5>looked good in the preseason. He could and he's done

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.920
<v Speaker 5>some nice things in his career with Denver catches the ball,

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 5>well runs the ball. I mean, I think you got

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 5>a factor in the run game as a big X factor,

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 5>as a big thing that you want to look for, because, hey,

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 5>you're going to live and die without with this run game.

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 5>If this run game isn't going, you're in trouble. And

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:41.880
<v Speaker 5>I think it's not going to be. I think it's

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 5>going to be much much better than what we've seen

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 5>around here in a long time.

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 3>You still need some balance, obviously, and I know you're

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:51.520
<v Speaker 3>not saying you don't, because if I'm Baltimore, I'm thinking,

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 3>just overwhelm the line of scrimmage, right, make Stroud beat you.

0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 3>He's a rookie, he's in a hostile environment. They're going

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 3>to try to make Stroud eat them some way, somehow.

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:05.439
<v Speaker 3>They're going to load up against Pierce. Pierces the You know,

0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Laramie is probably the best offensive player. Pierce is right

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 3>there with him as far as the threat goes. Obviously,

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:14.439
<v Speaker 3>different position and different impact, but Pierce can have a

0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 3>lot of impact if he's able to get some yak here,

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.880
<v Speaker 3>get a little crack of daylight, get him going. All right,

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 3>there's your recipe. You're starting to move the ball a

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 3>little bit on the ground. Pierce Straut makes a good thrower.

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.159
<v Speaker 3>Two maybe a big play to tank or two or

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.040
<v Speaker 3>more and then you're off and running. You know, you

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 3>got to play clean though the times the Texans have

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 3>lost up there, I mean, I think about the playoff

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.479
<v Speaker 3>game with the four turnovers. I think about earlier that

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.320
<v Speaker 3>season with just a sloppy game. And didn't the Ninja

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 3>we were just talking about him earlier. Didn't you have

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 3>like I think, two fifteen yard penalties in that twenty

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:48.920
<v Speaker 3>eleven regular season game up.

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:51.720
<v Speaker 5>There against the goal line, like the Texans were backed

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.439
<v Speaker 5>up against their own goal line. Yeah, Vonte Leach was

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:57.520
<v Speaker 5>giving the ball I think on consecutive plays because it

0:21:57.560 --> 0:21:59.680
<v Speaker 5>was his first game against his old team and the

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:02.239
<v Speaker 5>text and they stonewalled. They didn't the didn't let Leach in.

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:05.879
<v Speaker 5>But Antonio Smith had a couple of those fifteen yard

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:07.080
<v Speaker 5>personal fouls.

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 3>Twenty thirteen pick sixth Matt shab also. Didn't they have

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:13.080
<v Speaker 3>a return for a touchdown or something in that game?

0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, Maybe I'm misremembering that. Maybe I remember

0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:21.360
<v Speaker 3>pick six. It was just a sloppy, not a good game,

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 3>let's just put it.

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 4>Not a blowout, but not you were never close either.

0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 3>I was talking about it. In fact, we're going to

0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 3>have it on matchup tonight with Johnny five. Even I

0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:33.359
<v Speaker 3>remember that disastrous season, You're right in it. Kyle Bowler

0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:35.000
<v Speaker 3>hits three passes in a row to get him in

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.520
<v Speaker 3>a field goal range and they win the game like that.

0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:39.720
<v Speaker 3>And they weren't having a good year either at the time.

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 3>So it's been a house of horrors to an extent

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 3>for the Houston Texans, and as you mentioned, Drew never

0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 3>having one up there. But look, you rip off the

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 3>band aid and then get ready for a Week two

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:53.000
<v Speaker 3>no matter what happens, win or lose.

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's kind of nice to face Baltimore in

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Week one.

0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Lamar Jackson has not played all preseason, missed

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the end of last year with injury. Then you get him,

0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:05.399
<v Speaker 1>you've got a bunch of new weapons. While good, they've

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:07.440
<v Speaker 1>not played any of their starters in the preseason. Mark

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Andrews has been sort of banged up. I think he

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:13.359
<v Speaker 1>returned back to practice today or this week. But they

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 1>don't really have that chemistry. You know they're gonna be

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:17.200
<v Speaker 1>a good team, you know they're gonna have a firepower offense,

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:17.960
<v Speaker 1>but maybe you.

0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Get them early before they've really started.

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Clicking, and you just hope that with a heavy dose

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.760
<v Speaker 1>of Damian Pierce on the ground, you can control the

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 1>time of position, so you don't give the ball to

0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson, and you protect, you protect the ball, don't

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>turn it over as well. So I mean, I think

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:33.440
<v Speaker 1>that if you're gonna play them, I'd rather play them

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 1>now than say December. Not that you know playing them

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:38.680
<v Speaker 1>is going to be easy by any stretch of the means,

0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:42.639
<v Speaker 1>but that both Travis and Dy had a lot to

0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:45.920
<v Speaker 1>say about this Texans defense going up against Lamar Jackson.

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:47.160
<v Speaker 2>So let's take a break.

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 1>When we come back, let's talk about this Texans defense,

0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Undardmiko Ryans. We got more previewing the Baltimore Ravens, and

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 1>then of course later on we're gonna go around the NFL.

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 2>That's all coming up on Texans All Access.

0:23:56.800 --> 0:24:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back, Texans All Access. Texans up at ball to more.

0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Demiko Ryans makes his debut as head coach.

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:03.200
<v Speaker 4>CJ.

0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:07.399
<v Speaker 1>Strad Will Anderson all playing their first NFL games. And

0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, we were talking with the guys earlier, Travis

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and Indy, they're both super excited about this D line

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:16.800
<v Speaker 1>going against Lamar Jackson. They love this attack, pin your

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:19.640
<v Speaker 1>ears back style of defense. They feel like there can

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 1>be a lot of pressure on Lamar Jackson, not giving

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 1>him a lot of time, and they can sort of

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:25.960
<v Speaker 1>contain him so that he's not able to scramble or

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:27.480
<v Speaker 1>make plays and you'll have to.

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Get the ball out quick.

0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:30.879
<v Speaker 1>But they really like this style of defense, and they

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 1>feel like if you can get a guy like Will

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Anderson on Lamar that that could be really effective in

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:38.200
<v Speaker 1>containing him.

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 2>On Sunday, I wanted to get your thoughts on that.

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.679
<v Speaker 3>I think it's part of the mix. You need a

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:45.880
<v Speaker 3>lot of guys, right, yeah, I mean, well, love Anderson

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:49.360
<v Speaker 3>just devour Lamar Jackson time and time again. I think

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Grenard's gonna have to get in the mix. I think

0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:53.040
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna have to send extra people. You're gonna have

0:24:53.080 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 3>to send Petrie into the backfield occasionally trip up that

0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:59.680
<v Speaker 3>running game with Dobbins and Edwards and all that gang.

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Because these guys, I believe they'll look at the Texans

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:06.480
<v Speaker 3>and say, let's run the ball. Let's try to run

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 3>the ball. Look at them last year. I know they

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:10.280
<v Speaker 3>have different players, but every team wants to do it. It

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:13.359
<v Speaker 3>makes life easy, makes life easier on Lamar Jackson as well.

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:15.119
<v Speaker 3>We don't want to see Lamar Jackson run it that

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.520
<v Speaker 3>much if we don't have to, because that's risky. Right,

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 3>He's gotten hurt a bunch, so let's try to run

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 3>the ball and soften them up for the pass plays

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 3>that it'll hit to Mark Andrews and OBJ and all

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 3>of that other stuff. It's going to be really interesting

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:32.240
<v Speaker 3>to see what kind of Lamar Jackson you get. Is

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:35.479
<v Speaker 3>there any rust at all? He hasn't played in the preseason. Obviously,

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:38.680
<v Speaker 3>he's practiced, got hurt down the stretch last year year

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:42.480
<v Speaker 3>before as well. This is a real big moment for him.

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 3>A lot of eyes on him to see how he

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:48.080
<v Speaker 3>responds signing the big contract. Here he is in front

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 3>of the home fans.

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:51.960
<v Speaker 5>I can't wait. I'm keeping my eyes on Willie Anderson Junior.

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:54.439
<v Speaker 5>And when I say keeping my eyes on that's usually

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 5>it's like a throwaway line. It's just like, yeah, that

0:25:56.640 --> 0:26:00.439
<v Speaker 5>guy's good. Literally starting her out mid to December of

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:03.960
<v Speaker 5>twenty eleven. JJ Watt was a guy when the Texans

0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:05.959
<v Speaker 5>were on defense, you would just sort of look at

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 5>what he was doing, and he was always whipping, you know,

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 5>his man in front of him, and that was the

0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:12.520
<v Speaker 5>case for the next seven eight years while he was here.

0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:14.160
<v Speaker 4>In the same fashion.

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:17.359
<v Speaker 5>It's been fun in the preseason when Willy Anderson has

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:19.240
<v Speaker 5>played to keep your eyes on what he does, and

0:26:19.280 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 5>to keep your eyes on him in practice because he's

0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 5>it's like a hand grenade goes off. I mean, just

0:26:24.080 --> 0:26:26.840
<v Speaker 5>all sorts of havoc is reeked when he's out there.

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:29.680
<v Speaker 5>You said it perfectly, Mark. After one practice there was

0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 5>a practice where Anderson kind of got a day's rest

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 5>and he wasn't out there. Well, the Texans offense looked

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 5>really really good that day, looked really really improved that

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 5>day because he wasn't in the backfield, Cavin in the

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 5>offensive line all practice long. So when I say I'm

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 5>going to keep my eyes on him, I'm literally going

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 5>to lockdown and I'm making binocular motions.

0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:49.439
<v Speaker 4>With my hands right now.

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah three, I'm literally gonna watch what he does against

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:55.760
<v Speaker 5>the guy or guys who are blocking him.

0:26:56.200 --> 0:27:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Look, Tamiko, Ryan's the challenge of him coaching this

0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:04.800
<v Speaker 3>defense along with Matt Burke against Lamar Jackson. Whatever they

0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:08.439
<v Speaker 3>have planned, it's got to be something special, right, But

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:10.600
<v Speaker 3>maybe they just play their system. I don't know. They

0:27:10.720 --> 0:27:13.199
<v Speaker 3>just have to be ready for it because he is

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 3>what I call a one man draw play when you

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 3>or maybe one man play action is a better way

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:22.440
<v Speaker 3>to put it, Lamar Jackson. The linebackers have to respect

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 3>the run, so when he goes back to pass, it's

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 3>are you gonna run it or not? And then you know,

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:29.199
<v Speaker 3>before you know it, Andrews is beating you and he

0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:32.159
<v Speaker 3>has an easy layup kind of passed to Andrews. The

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:35.880
<v Speaker 3>year that Texans got blown out up there with Deshaun

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:40.720
<v Speaker 3>Watson twenty nineteen, it was a thirty four point loss.

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:44.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Jackson threw four touchdown passes. He ran it

0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:47.840
<v Speaker 3>for seventy something as well. It was a nightmare to

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 3>deal with. And that was a pretty good Texans team

0:27:49.720 --> 0:27:52.280
<v Speaker 3>that eventually would have a lead in a divisional playoff game.

0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:55.040
<v Speaker 3>But we don't have to get into that right now. Yeah, sorry,

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 3>too soon?

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Hey that the Ravens season didn't end all that great

0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:01.200
<v Speaker 1>either of that year. No, it didn't the last time

0:28:01.240 --> 0:28:04.080
<v Speaker 1>they had this level of excitement, I think because they

0:28:04.119 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 1>lost in.

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:05.320
<v Speaker 2>The wildcard round.

0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 1>They were going to host, they were rolling.

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 2>The top seed, they were in a top seed they

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:11.720
<v Speaker 2>lose to the time.

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:14.200
<v Speaker 3>They lost it to the divisional round because they had

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:16.600
<v Speaker 3>to buy and then the Titans were coming off the

0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:20.440
<v Speaker 3>win over New England, went into Baltimore and won. There

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:21.560
<v Speaker 3>was a hell of a post.

0:28:21.560 --> 0:28:23.400
<v Speaker 5>Ravens type going forward on fourth down in that game.

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think they had like four failed fourth

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:28.120
<v Speaker 5>down conversions or more.

0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Maybe they couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe it. So

0:28:30.840 --> 0:28:34.320
<v Speaker 3>the Tennessee d was playing really well, but that offensive

0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:38.080
<v Speaker 3>formula of Derrick Henry and Tannehill play action was working.

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Wonders can you get that going with Pierce? Can you

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:44.640
<v Speaker 3>find a way to hold out of the ball finish drives? Look,

0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 3>I'd rather have sevens and threes every day of the week,

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 3>but look, connect on a field goal or two. Just

0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 3>keep going, keep the ball away from him if you

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 3>possibly can. Can't wait.

0:28:56.200 --> 0:29:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So since then, the Ravens had have one in

0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the wild card against the Titans in twenty twenty, and

0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 1>then they lost the Bills, and then last year they

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 1>lost to the Bengals. So not a lot of success

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:10.760
<v Speaker 1>since twenty nineteen.

0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 3>So the only playoff win they have since twenty fourteen

0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:17.719
<v Speaker 3>is that victory over the Titans in twenty twenty.

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:20.320
<v Speaker 2>In twenty fourteen, they also beat the Steelers.

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:22.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well that was the last time they won a

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:26.640
<v Speaker 3>playoff game until twenty twenty. So since twenty fourteen, the

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Texans have won how many playoff games? One? Two or two?

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:34.840
<v Speaker 3>That's it. But the Ravens have only won once. And

0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 3>it's a weird thing. That's why. Look, I'm never gonna

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 3>call them overrated back, but postseason success has failed. It

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:44.440
<v Speaker 3>just hasn't worked out for them. You know, Lamar's rookie

0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:46.800
<v Speaker 3>year was what it was. They were struggling with Flacco.

0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 3>They put in Lamar in twenty eighteen, they make the playoffs,

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:52.040
<v Speaker 3>they lose to the Chargers at home. They're not perfect, right,

0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:56.880
<v Speaker 3>and being a new mix with the new offensive coordinator

0:29:56.880 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 3>and Jackson coming back, maybe you can take advantage of

0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 3>the element of surprise and spring something on them that

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 3>they're not expecting. I don't know.

0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I think also o'dill Beckham Junior. I'm very curious to

0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 1>see what he looks like. He hasn't played since he

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:13.080
<v Speaker 1>tore his knee up in that Super Bowl when he

0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 1>was with the Rams.

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Yea, like everyone thought he wasn't even going to come back.

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:19.680
<v Speaker 5>The rookies a Flowers too. I mean they're very very

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 5>high on that guy, very high they'll be at Those

0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 5>two will be a nice test for Derrick Stingly and

0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 5>Stephen Nelson. You know how much does each of those

0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:32.520
<v Speaker 5>corners get the other guys switched around a bunch? Yeah,

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:34.160
<v Speaker 5>that's that's a fascinating matchup as well.

0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 2>And and the safeties as well, just keeping their eye

0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 2>on the.

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Well captains too, how about that Jimmy Warred and Jalen

0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Treat That is cool.

0:30:43.600 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 3>That is cool. It's cool that Stroud gets elected captain.

0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Now Will Anderson's not a captain, but someday he will be.

0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but do you know, like, okay on the captains.

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Since the captains came out yesterday, I was thinking about this.

0:30:55.280 --> 0:30:58.880
<v Speaker 1>In the past few years, it's always felt like whoever

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the captains are will of course season with.

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:02.000
<v Speaker 2>The captains are the leaders of your team.

0:31:02.000 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 1>But this year I felt like there were so many

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:05.480
<v Speaker 1>other players that actually could.

0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 4>Have been It's a really good point.

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Like Damian Pierce, I feel like he could why he

0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:11.600
<v Speaker 2>could have been a captain. John Weeks could have been

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:11.960
<v Speaker 2>a captain.

0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:15.520
<v Speaker 5>And think about this too. These captains haven't been captains

0:31:15.520 --> 0:31:18.240
<v Speaker 5>for a long time. Tunsel had it for half of

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:19.080
<v Speaker 5>a season last.

0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Year because Brandon Cook's.

0:31:21.320 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 5>Jimmy Lord was a captain for the last two seasons

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 5>in San Francisco and then the rookies and never been

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:29.400
<v Speaker 5>a captain obviously, and petrees this first time to be

0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 5>a captain. So it's it's inexperienced captaincies. Not that that matters,

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:36.680
<v Speaker 5>but it's just kind of new blood in that regard.

0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a good sign.

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:40.840
<v Speaker 1>It means that you've got your young players are leaders

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:43.760
<v Speaker 1>on both sides of the ball. So I am excited

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:47.000
<v Speaker 1>that C. J. Stroud is a captain. I don't know

0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 1>if that was because he was the quarterback and he

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:50.320
<v Speaker 1>was here in the starting job.

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:53.320
<v Speaker 3>It was elected by the players, right, so this is

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 3>the coaches just get a vote to This is high praise.

0:31:56.480 --> 0:32:00.760
<v Speaker 5>Remember last year, boy, And if you read the Jonathan

0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:04.440
<v Speaker 5>Alexander Houston Chronicle story about Straw that came out today,

0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:05.520
<v Speaker 5>Holy moly.

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:06.000
<v Speaker 4>That's a whopper.

0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:06.959
<v Speaker 3>I haven't read it yet.

0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 5>T job by Alexander. Heck of a job, heck of

0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 5>a story about see. I mean, it's really really impressive

0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 5>what he's been through and overcome and how he's flourished.

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 4>You can see why.

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 5>Okay, based on a lot of the things he details

0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:22.760
<v Speaker 5>in that article, you can see why they elected this guy.

0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 5>He's he's wise beyond his years.

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's been through so much, just with his dad,

0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:31.520
<v Speaker 1>overcoming adversity than going to Ohio State all the attention

0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 1>that was on him there. It seems like no stage

0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:35.800
<v Speaker 1>is too big for him, which I think you like

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 1>to see in a quarterback.

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:39.000
<v Speaker 2>You don't want anyone to feel overwhelmed at that spot.

0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 3>I like what Nick said about it this morning, and

0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:43.560
<v Speaker 3>I know he's going to do this tomorrow with us

0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:46.720
<v Speaker 3>as well. If you're a competitor, you want this, you

0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:51.480
<v Speaker 3>want Baltimore. You want that challenge of playing a high octane,

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 3>highly regarded team, a team that's a quiet I'll use

0:32:55.560 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 3>that word carefully, super Bowl contender, because why not that right?

0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 3>Why not the Ravens out of that division? Bengals, I

0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:05.959
<v Speaker 3>don't know, they might slow down a little bit.

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 5>Steelers quarterback who's been a league MVP, you've got a

0:33:09.720 --> 0:33:10.240
<v Speaker 5>shot it at all.

0:33:10.320 --> 0:33:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and a defense that's always in the top ten,

0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:16.160
<v Speaker 3>if not the top five. Twenty four years of football.

0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:18.880
<v Speaker 3>The last twenty four years, they've been out of the

0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:21.680
<v Speaker 3>top ten just seven times, and they've been close. When

0:33:21.720 --> 0:33:23.280
<v Speaker 3>they haven't been in the top ten, they have a cup.

0:33:23.320 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 3>They have like one in the twenties, but that was it.

0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:27.520
<v Speaker 3>It was an aberration. And they have a lot of

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:30.200
<v Speaker 3>top fours, top threes, top fives in there as well.

0:33:30.360 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 3>This is a defensive franchise, no doubt, and they're going

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 3>to be that again.

0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Well on the offensive side of the ball, both of

0:33:37.480 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 1>these teams new offensive coordinators. Not really sure what we're

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 1>going to see with the preseason, both teams sort of

0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 1>held back the big guns, But like, what are we

0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>expecting to see, both from the Texans and the Ravens.

0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 4>Lots of play action.

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:52.320
<v Speaker 5>I think you're gonna see lots of bootlegs and stuff

0:33:52.320 --> 0:33:54.320
<v Speaker 5>when the Texans do throw it. I can't wait to see,

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:58.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, like the I'm just gonna be for the yes, yes,

0:33:58.320 --> 0:33:59.000
<v Speaker 5>the old day.

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, I want to see some plays that we haven't seen, right, Yeah,

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:05.680
<v Speaker 3>I want to be surprised. Yeah, I think we will.

0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:08.160
<v Speaker 3>We'll be surprised. They've been working on some stuff that

0:34:08.160 --> 0:34:10.399
<v Speaker 3>they don't want the world to see, and they got

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:13.719
<v Speaker 3>to have some special, easy short stuff with a lot

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:17.480
<v Speaker 3>of yak potential for CJ. Stroud, you know, get it

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:20.399
<v Speaker 3>to Robert Woods and he can take off and run

0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:23.239
<v Speaker 3>with it. Same thing with Nico obviously, get it down

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:25.279
<v Speaker 3>field to Dell. On occasion, I want to see one

0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:31.440
<v Speaker 3>of those bootleg playfakes and Dell is wide open with an.

0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:35.879
<v Speaker 5>Acre lots and lots of Shenanigans cooked up for Tank Dell,

0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:38.520
<v Speaker 5>I really do. I mean, I think there's we didn't

0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:40.239
<v Speaker 5>see him against the Saints. You saw him on the

0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:43.279
<v Speaker 5>punt return and that was it. I think, Yeah, I

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:45.960
<v Speaker 5>think there's a lot that Tank Dell's gonna do this

0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:49.239
<v Speaker 5>season that that's been specially designed for him, because he

0:34:49.360 --> 0:34:51.560
<v Speaker 5>is He is just a different dude.

0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:53.719
<v Speaker 3>You want to talk about wise beyond your years. He

0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 3>just has this old soul air about him right that

0:34:57.280 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 3>he's a pro. He comes in as a prof professional.

0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:05.080
<v Speaker 3>And I stopped talking about his size weeks ago because

0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:07.280
<v Speaker 3>I said, this guy's a moon, a FID receiver, playmaker.

0:35:07.280 --> 0:35:09.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't care. I want him to stay healthy. That's

0:35:09.239 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 3>that's all I'm thinking about here, because I think if

0:35:11.000 --> 0:35:12.720
<v Speaker 3>he's healthy, he's going to make a ton of plays

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:13.320
<v Speaker 3>in this League.

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think Travis and Dy both were talking about

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:18.239
<v Speaker 1>they can't believe that size is still an issue when

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:20.200
<v Speaker 1>it comes to receivers, when some of the best receivers

0:35:20.200 --> 0:35:23.879
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL have been undersized because that's what makes

0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:25.040
<v Speaker 1>them so quick.

0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:26.840
<v Speaker 2>And shifty, is the fact that they are smaller.

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 1>But I think with Tank, you bring up a good

0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:32.719
<v Speaker 1>point is just being going the Juco route, being undersized,

0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 1>having to prove himself time and time again. He's got

0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:37.719
<v Speaker 1>that chip on his shoulder like CJ, but coming from

0:35:37.760 --> 0:35:40.760
<v Speaker 1>a different coming from a totally different program.

0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:44.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and you know it's it's interesting before the Patriots

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:46.120
<v Speaker 5>game in the preseason this year, Mark and I were

0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:49.040
<v Speaker 5>in the production meeting the day before the game and

0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:52.160
<v Speaker 5>Case Keenum was in there, and at one point I asked, Case, Hey,

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:55.600
<v Speaker 5>you're obviously a Cougar. Tank Dell is a Cougar decade

0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:58.879
<v Speaker 5>a part or so. But you've kept your tabs on him.

0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:02.080
<v Speaker 5>What do you think about what he did there versus

0:36:02.200 --> 0:36:04.840
<v Speaker 5>what you've seen him do in training camp and in

0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:08.480
<v Speaker 5>OTAs In Case, remember that he paused and he kind

0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 5>of collected his thought and he said he was making

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:15.759
<v Speaker 5>plays in college. And I know people talk about the

0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 5>AAC and the level of competition, but trust me, there's

0:36:18.719 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 5>really good players in that conference. And he was he

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:25.880
<v Speaker 5>was doing that and making plays. Well, he's doing the

0:36:25.920 --> 0:36:28.919
<v Speaker 5>same thing against a really good NFL secondary right now.

0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:32.920
<v Speaker 5>And Case was kind of very diplomatically saying he was

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:36.400
<v Speaker 5>doing it against college competition, and hey, it's one thing

0:36:36.440 --> 0:36:38.800
<v Speaker 5>to do it there, but he's actually doing it against

0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 5>a pretty darn good NFL secondary too. So yeah, it

0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:43.919
<v Speaker 5>was it was cool hearing him say it. He won't

0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:46.799
<v Speaker 5>being a homer about it. It was very a detached,

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:51.480
<v Speaker 5>analytical view of things, and just that's another selling point,

0:36:51.520 --> 0:36:52.840
<v Speaker 5>another tick mark on.

0:36:53.200 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this guy's legit.

0:36:54.200 --> 0:36:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Can they sign Case keen him to a lifetime contract?

0:36:56.600 --> 0:36:58.799
<v Speaker 3>I want to see that.

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was Demico Ryans miked up at camp. How

0:37:02.440 --> 0:37:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Case keeps camp fun, Show the rookies how it's done.

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:06.359
<v Speaker 2>It keeps it fun.

0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:06.879
<v Speaker 3>It's true.

0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:07.919
<v Speaker 2>He's got fun.

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:11.359
<v Speaker 3>He's got this great disposition and I think it's infectious.

0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:14.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, let's get take a break and then

0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:15.839
<v Speaker 1>we've got one more segment of Texans All Access. We're

0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:19.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna go around the NFL some news about the Texans

0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Week two opponent, plus a familiar face is going to

0:37:22.840 --> 0:37:24.480
<v Speaker 1>make his debut on NFL network.

0:37:24.520 --> 0:37:27.120
<v Speaker 2>That's all coming up. Final segment of Texans All Access.

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Final segment of Texans All Access coming your way.

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I've got Mark, I've got Drew, It's myself DP. We're

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:35.680
<v Speaker 1>going to go around the NFL as we head into

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 1>week one. And all right, guys, I Mark, I just

0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:41.799
<v Speaker 1>I know Mark loves when it comes to bad news

0:37:41.800 --> 0:37:42.400
<v Speaker 1>with the Colts.

0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:43.839
<v Speaker 2>So shall we start there.

0:37:44.040 --> 0:37:46.319
<v Speaker 3>I really feel bad about how I'm going to feel

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:48.319
<v Speaker 3>right now, Go ahead, tell me what it is, all right?

0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 1>So Jonathan Taylor obviously going to miss the first four

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:52.920
<v Speaker 1>weeks is such a shame of it.

0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:58.520
<v Speaker 2>So disappointed. There is no starting running back in Indianapolis.

0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:01.080
<v Speaker 3>That's a shame, and there.

0:38:00.960 --> 0:38:03.200
<v Speaker 1>May not be in week two either, because Shane Steigen

0:38:03.239 --> 0:38:06.880
<v Speaker 1>says they're gonna go running back by committee. They've got

0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Zach Moss and Dean Jackson and Evan Hall and they're

0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:12.879
<v Speaker 1>just gonna put all through of those guys out there

0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:14.040
<v Speaker 1>they played play.

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:15.640
<v Speaker 5>With, they get to play with thirteen guys. If it's

0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:18.200
<v Speaker 5>the committee gets to run or is it, yeah.

0:38:18.120 --> 0:38:19.839
<v Speaker 2>The committee?

0:38:20.440 --> 0:38:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Somebody that's got a gavel, listen, I think Zach Moss

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:26.959
<v Speaker 3>is a pretty good player, and I was thinking during

0:38:27.000 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 3>the postseason that Buffalo was wishing they still had Zach Moss.

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:33.040
<v Speaker 3>I know Nahim Hines did some good things for them,

0:38:33.160 --> 0:38:35.520
<v Speaker 3>especially in that return from DeMar Hamlin game.

0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:39.439
<v Speaker 1>From the Probably game, they probably wish they still had him.

0:38:39.520 --> 0:38:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but Zach Moss can be dangerous. He's a heavy runner.

0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 3>I just think the leading rusher is going to be

0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Anthony rich Richardson more often than not in the early going,

0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:52.560
<v Speaker 3>especially before they get Taylor back, and maybe they didn't never,

0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:56.480
<v Speaker 3>maybe they never get Taylor back. But as long as

0:38:56.480 --> 0:38:59.680
<v Speaker 3>they have Richardson, he can make plays by himself, things

0:38:59.719 --> 0:39:02.520
<v Speaker 3>break down. He's gonna run. I think Stroud's gonna run

0:39:02.520 --> 0:39:04.560
<v Speaker 3>a little bit too on Sunday as well. I think

0:39:04.600 --> 0:39:07.919
<v Speaker 3>that's gonna enter the repertoire of what he what he does.

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:10.400
<v Speaker 3>We've seen it at practice from time to time, and

0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:13.280
<v Speaker 3>during the game they're gonna talk to him slide, don't

0:39:13.600 --> 0:39:16.800
<v Speaker 3>risk anything, but they're gonna be yards to be had

0:39:17.239 --> 0:39:19.239
<v Speaker 3>with his legs. And I think Stroud's gonna do that

0:39:19.320 --> 0:39:21.120
<v Speaker 3>now with Richardson, you know he's going to do that

0:39:21.200 --> 0:39:23.480
<v Speaker 3>just part of what he does right, It's part of

0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:26.920
<v Speaker 3>his mix. So I like that they say running back

0:39:26.960 --> 0:39:28.480
<v Speaker 3>by committee because it's kind of like, if you have

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:30.319
<v Speaker 3>two quarterbacks, you have none. If you have running back

0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:32.279
<v Speaker 3>by committee, you do you really have one running back.

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:35.480
<v Speaker 3>But there's still Look, it's still the Colds. I don't

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:37.320
<v Speaker 3>care who they put out there. The Cults are always

0:39:37.360 --> 0:39:38.920
<v Speaker 3>going to be a tough team for the Texans to beat.

0:39:39.000 --> 0:39:41.040
<v Speaker 3>You know this, I will talk about that next week.

0:39:41.080 --> 0:39:43.600
<v Speaker 5>I know we're clicking our fingers together like mister Burns

0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:45.880
<v Speaker 5>from the Simpsons.

0:39:46.040 --> 0:39:47.000
<v Speaker 4>But man, the.

0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:51.359
<v Speaker 5>Doom and gloom in me worries that none of that's

0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:53.799
<v Speaker 5>gonna matter. And Richardson's just gonna ball out and throw

0:39:53.880 --> 0:39:54.800
<v Speaker 5>for seven touchdowns.

0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:55.520
<v Speaker 3>He's not gonna do that.

0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:58.000
<v Speaker 4>He's just gonna look like fantastic week two.

0:39:58.040 --> 0:40:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Maybe maybe it's the season per they.

0:40:00.560 --> 0:40:03.279
<v Speaker 5>Wait on that on being excited about them not having

0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:03.919
<v Speaker 5>a running back.

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 3>They're hosting the Jags this weekend. I'm not even gonna

0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:08.960
<v Speaker 3>look at the line. I know the Jags are favored.

0:40:09.760 --> 0:40:12.759
<v Speaker 3>What do you think you think that the Jags win

0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:15.600
<v Speaker 3>that one? I think so definitely picking the jack Yeah,

0:40:15.600 --> 0:40:17.920
<v Speaker 3>I think how surprised would you be if the Colts

0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:20.239
<v Speaker 3>pull off it upset at home opening day. I got

0:40:20.320 --> 0:40:22.280
<v Speaker 3>the Jags team that's not perfect.

0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Not at all, But I do think that not surprise

0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:26.359
<v Speaker 1>only because it's hard to prepare for a team that

0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:27.160
<v Speaker 1>you've never seen.

0:40:27.320 --> 0:40:29.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't know, how do you prepare against Anthony Richardson.

0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:30.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean you just really can't.

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:33.600
<v Speaker 3>But I think overwhelmed the line of scrimmage, you can.

0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:35.359
<v Speaker 1>But I mean he doesn't have like at least you've

0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:38.560
<v Speaker 1>got DJ Stroud and we've talk we just got to

0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:40.640
<v Speaker 1>talk about how important Damian Pierce is going to be

0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:43.600
<v Speaker 1>for CJ. Stroud and Anthony Richardson doesn't have that. You

0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:45.759
<v Speaker 1>can run all he wants, but it is still nice

0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:46.960
<v Speaker 1>to have a running back that you can hand the

0:40:47.000 --> 0:40:48.719
<v Speaker 1>ball off too. Now and then you don't want him

0:40:48.719 --> 0:40:49.319
<v Speaker 1>to do all the work.

0:40:49.320 --> 0:40:51.479
<v Speaker 3>In week one, they'll hand off, I mean they will.

0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Jacks was banged up in camp, which is why I

0:40:54.360 --> 0:40:57.320
<v Speaker 1>think they did not name him the start Dean Jackson.

0:40:58.040 --> 0:41:00.440
<v Speaker 3>This is they're not a little like here.

0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:03.400
<v Speaker 1>But Jonathan, I mean Jonathan Taylor, Like, yes, that's a

0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:05.719
<v Speaker 1>that's a that's a heavy hand to replace right now.

0:41:05.760 --> 0:41:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean he's Derek Henry league. You know, either

0:41:07.920 --> 0:41:10.400
<v Speaker 3>are different types of runners, but he's in that league

0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:13.440
<v Speaker 3>with Derek Henry of among the best in the NFL,

0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:16.800
<v Speaker 3>and he's not available right now, and it's such a shame. Also,

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:20.359
<v Speaker 3>the Titans are going to be at New Orleans. Hmm, okay,

0:41:20.400 --> 0:41:22.680
<v Speaker 3>what kind of chance? What kind of snowballs chance do

0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:24.080
<v Speaker 3>you give them at New Orleans? I mean, I think

0:41:24.080 --> 0:41:28.120
<v Speaker 3>New Orleans wins this game. But the Titans could shockingly

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:31.239
<v Speaker 3>be better than a lot of people expect. I know

0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 3>they have replacements to nurture on the O line, but

0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:37.400
<v Speaker 3>they should still have plenty of defense to play. They

0:41:37.400 --> 0:41:41.799
<v Speaker 3>still have Dereck Henry and Hopkins, and maybe it all

0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:44.160
<v Speaker 3>comes together for them enough to beat the Saints in

0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:45.640
<v Speaker 3>more teams than you think.

0:41:45.719 --> 0:41:48.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean we've seen what DeAndre Hopkins can do

0:41:48.400 --> 0:41:50.840
<v Speaker 5>for a quarterback around here. Yes, you know, pre Deshaun

0:41:50.880 --> 0:41:54.160
<v Speaker 5>Watson during the show, he's he's going to help them out.

0:41:54.239 --> 0:41:56.960
<v Speaker 5>But man, I still think the Saints are going to

0:41:57.000 --> 0:41:59.440
<v Speaker 5>be much much better than they were last year. I

0:41:59.480 --> 0:42:03.560
<v Speaker 5>think Derek Carr adds just a new element to that team.

0:42:03.880 --> 0:42:05.560
<v Speaker 5>I got some friends who are Saints fans, and they're

0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:07.320
<v Speaker 5>pretty jacked up. They're excited about.

0:42:07.120 --> 0:42:10.080
<v Speaker 3>The see Kamara with Car with their other weapons, and

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:12.680
<v Speaker 3>Car being a steadying force and not turning it over

0:42:12.719 --> 0:42:15.239
<v Speaker 3>as much as Winston would. I like James because he

0:42:15.280 --> 0:42:16.920
<v Speaker 3>goes for the big play, but he gets turned over

0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:20.359
<v Speaker 3>a lot, right, so Car for Car's sake, I hope

0:42:20.400 --> 0:42:23.239
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't do that as much until he comes here,

0:42:23.440 --> 0:42:25.520
<v Speaker 3>of course, and we'll see how that goes. But I'll

0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:27.520
<v Speaker 3>be rooty for the Saints this weekend when they entertained

0:42:27.520 --> 0:42:27.839
<v Speaker 3>the title.

0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:30.560
<v Speaker 1>The Saints are ranked, so the power rankings already out

0:42:30.600 --> 0:42:32.760
<v Speaker 1>in a film dot COM's got power rankings.

0:42:32.760 --> 0:42:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Saints. Guess where they come in the Saints.

0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:38.160
<v Speaker 3>I bet they're No, they're not that high.

0:42:38.400 --> 0:42:43.359
<v Speaker 1>They're fourteenth, sixteenth, dead in the middle. Okay, all right,

0:42:43.440 --> 0:42:45.640
<v Speaker 1>so we'll see, we'll see, and then the Titans are

0:42:45.719 --> 0:42:46.279
<v Speaker 1>blow them.

0:42:46.840 --> 0:42:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Jags are the highest the AFC South.

0:42:48.920 --> 0:42:53.640
<v Speaker 3>They're probably the Jags ranked thirteenth nine.

0:42:53.480 --> 0:42:56.200
<v Speaker 1>They're nine, Yeah, top ten, that's what I meant. They're

0:42:56.200 --> 0:42:59.040
<v Speaker 1>cracking top ten. Jacksonville, guess where the Texans are.

0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:02.200
<v Speaker 3>I think the jack are rated a bit too. I

0:43:02.239 --> 0:43:05.360
<v Speaker 3>don't want to say overrated. I think their paper is

0:43:05.440 --> 0:43:08.719
<v Speaker 3>graded a bit too high. Where the Texans. Look, Come on,

0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:10.640
<v Speaker 3>if you're doing one of these things, where are you

0:43:10.640 --> 0:43:11.719
<v Speaker 3>going to put the Texans?

0:43:12.200 --> 0:43:14.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna put them higher than they are right now?

0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:15.239
<v Speaker 3>Twenty eighth.

0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:19.560
<v Speaker 1>They're thirty first? What above the and how about this

0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:22.080
<v Speaker 1>above them? The Colts at twenty ninth?

0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't get that. You can understand that you

0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:28.719
<v Speaker 3>tied them and beat them, and you have a better

0:43:28.840 --> 0:43:32.000
<v Speaker 3>quarterback than they do, at least on paper.

0:43:31.640 --> 0:43:34.239
<v Speaker 2>And their best player is off the field.

0:43:34.120 --> 0:43:36.279
<v Speaker 3>And you have, Yeah, you have more going for you

0:43:36.360 --> 0:43:39.680
<v Speaker 3>than they do going into the opening weekend. That's wrong

0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:41.719
<v Speaker 3>that the Colts are ranked ahead of the Texans.

0:43:41.760 --> 0:43:44.279
<v Speaker 1>I think somebody tweeted that NFL Power rankings are here

0:43:44.320 --> 0:43:46.959
<v Speaker 1>to make everybody angry about where they're doing.

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:49.480
<v Speaker 4>It's true, they get.

0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they got me because I'm arguing about who should

0:43:52.239 --> 0:43:55.959
<v Speaker 3>be twenty ninth? Really really, this is what we do here?

0:43:56.160 --> 0:43:59.759
<v Speaker 1>No so meaningless? Kansas City is number one and Chris Jones.

0:43:59.480 --> 0:43:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Is even play.

0:44:00.520 --> 0:44:02.719
<v Speaker 3>Well, where would you put them?

0:44:02.840 --> 0:44:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm putting them number one and at the Eagles at

0:44:04.560 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 2>number two.

0:44:05.680 --> 0:44:08.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, sounds good to me. I'm still complaining that the

0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:12.640
<v Speaker 3>opening game is the Lions at the Chiefs. I went

0:44:12.680 --> 0:44:15.080
<v Speaker 3>on a rant about this last week on the air

0:44:15.360 --> 0:44:18.000
<v Speaker 3>because I said, they have games on their schedule that

0:44:18.040 --> 0:44:21.239
<v Speaker 3>are way better than this. They have the Dolphins at home,

0:44:21.480 --> 0:44:23.200
<v Speaker 3>they have the Eagles at home. They have a Super

0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Bowl rematch at home, and they're not putting it on

0:44:25.719 --> 0:44:29.359
<v Speaker 3>Thursday night, kickoff night. They're not doing it. They've got

0:44:29.360 --> 0:44:31.880
<v Speaker 3>the Chargers, of course, they have a variety of places

0:44:31.880 --> 0:44:34.560
<v Speaker 3>they can go. They have the Bengals at home. They

0:44:34.600 --> 0:44:36.640
<v Speaker 3>could have done that as well. No, we're going to

0:44:36.719 --> 0:44:39.520
<v Speaker 3>do the Lions because they're everybody's favorite team. No, they're

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:41.600
<v Speaker 3>going to do the Lions because they're good enough and

0:44:41.640 --> 0:44:44.120
<v Speaker 3>everyone's gonna be watching anyway. We're gonna save those big

0:44:44.160 --> 0:44:49.000
<v Speaker 3>games for CBS and Fox later on NBC, flexing potential,

0:44:49.080 --> 0:44:49.640
<v Speaker 3>whatever else.

0:44:49.719 --> 0:44:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Marc is turning his back on his favorite guy, Aaron Glenn.

0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:56.960
<v Speaker 3>I love AG, but come on, I'm sure AG would rather.

0:44:58.080 --> 0:45:01.440
<v Speaker 1>The Lions are ranked eleventh this Power rankings, So I

0:45:01.440 --> 0:45:02.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that's I'm sure this is gonna be

0:45:02.920 --> 0:45:06.600
<v Speaker 1>totally shuffled around next week, all right before we go

0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:09.680
<v Speaker 1>around the NFL. NFL Network added six new analysts ahead

0:45:09.680 --> 0:45:12.560
<v Speaker 1>of the twenty twenty three, season one six, and one

0:45:12.560 --> 0:45:17.320
<v Speaker 1>of them none other than former Texans offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton.

0:45:17.440 --> 0:45:20.480
<v Speaker 3>You're kidding, now, I knew good. Pep was doing a

0:45:20.520 --> 0:45:24.640
<v Speaker 3>bunch of training camp stuff with them, So I'm hoping

0:45:24.760 --> 0:45:27.440
<v Speaker 3>that this really turns out well for him. I think

0:45:27.480 --> 0:45:30.160
<v Speaker 3>he's got the aptitude to do it. Some of the

0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:32.680
<v Speaker 3>training camp stuff that's really clunky and tough. You know,

0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:35.440
<v Speaker 3>you're in the hot weather, you're sitting there with a microphone.

0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:37.279
<v Speaker 3>You don't know where they're going. They're trying to fill

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:39.640
<v Speaker 3>time or whatever they're doing. This is a little bit

0:45:39.640 --> 0:45:41.400
<v Speaker 3>more of a controlled environment. I want to see how

0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:42.000
<v Speaker 3>this turns out for.

0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Studio shows, including NFL Game Day Lives.

0:45:44.560 --> 0:45:47.160
<v Speaker 3>Does he ride his bike to the studio? Maybe he

0:45:47.280 --> 0:45:50.080
<v Speaker 3>left it here because well, Dandy Barrett's still here with

0:45:50.120 --> 0:45:50.479
<v Speaker 3>the bike.

0:45:52.160 --> 0:45:53.680
<v Speaker 4>Ride the bike, I think, yeah, I think he's the

0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:54.520
<v Speaker 4>only one right now.

0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:55.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah started the bike.

0:45:55.680 --> 0:45:57.680
<v Speaker 3>It was Pep and Danny Barrett riding the bikes, and

0:45:57.719 --> 0:45:59.840
<v Speaker 3>I think that was really smart. I'm surprised that has

0:46:00.160 --> 0:46:03.920
<v Speaker 3>caught on with the players. We had the segues a decade.

0:46:03.520 --> 0:46:05.400
<v Speaker 4>Ago right in then Energy Stadium.

0:46:05.440 --> 0:46:07.400
<v Speaker 3>Why don't we have bikes now? Could you imagine a

0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:10.880
<v Speaker 3>massive player bike parking lot in the always.

0:46:10.520 --> 0:46:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Any of Demico's not riding a bike, nobody's riding a bike.

0:46:12.880 --> 0:46:14.919
<v Speaker 1>If he can, If he can walk, everyone else can walk.

0:46:14.920 --> 0:46:18.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, speaking of walking, Texans all Access walked.

0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:20.320
<v Speaker 2>So that Texans matchup could run? Do you like this?

0:46:20.400 --> 0:46:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Say I like that?

0:46:21.520 --> 0:46:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Coming up next, John Harris brings you Texans Matchup. The

0:46:25.080 --> 0:46:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Texans haven't even played a game yet, so what could

0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:29.520
<v Speaker 1>be he'd be possibly matching up? You don't have to

0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:30.640
<v Speaker 1>tune in and find out. But that's going to do

0:46:30.640 --> 0:46:32.400
<v Speaker 1>it for Texans All Access. Thanks so much, guys, We'll

0:46:32.400 --> 0:46:34.719
