Very interesting guy from western North Carolina. Key 53 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: On Crossing. While of that, and then Mark's gonna stick 54 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: around for a segment with me and we're gonna talk 55 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: about any number of things. But one of the things 56 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: that stood out to me was looking at the Buffalo Bills. 57 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: They got in the playoffs in twenty seventeen. That was 58 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: just two years ago, just two years ago, and the 59 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: team has changed so significantly in that time, and there 60 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: are a lot of guys playing in their very first 61 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: playoff game ever. Some rookies on the offense, Devin Singletary, 62 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: Cody Ford, and Dawson Knox, but also Josh Allen will 63 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: be starting his first playoff game, and yes, being a 64 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: quarterback for an NFL team calling an NFL game two 65 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: totally different things. But Mark had that experience back in 66 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: twenty eleven. You also shared with me it was there 67 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: was a time back in two thousand and one that 68 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: I didn't even know about that was actually his first 69 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: NFL playoff game. What are those nerves like? What's it 70 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: like getting through that experience and doing that for the 71 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: first time. My first playoff game was oh boy, twenty 72 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 1: fifteen against the Chiefs, and I was gassed up like 73 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: you wouldn't believe. I mean, I was, Oh my gosh, 74 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: I was so excited. I remember Andre and Mark talking 75 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: to me like, dude, you're just gonna have to keep 76 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: it in check. You're just gonna have to keep your 77 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: emotions under control. And I did that. When Mark drew 78 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: it down to me to start the game, I'm like, okay, 79 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: I'm good. I was good. I got through it. And 80 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: then now Davis took the first kickoff back for a touchdown. 81 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: I thought, boy, that wasn't how I saw this one going. 82 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: And since then, it's been each playoff game has been 83 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: a little bit I don't say easier, but you can 84 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: kind of handle the ups and downs a little bit more. 85 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: And so it's probably been a little bit more fun 86 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: to do those playoff games because not as gassed up 87 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: as you were for that first one, but a lot 88 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: of bills will be on Saturday and it could play 89 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: a role with their nerves and allowed building, especially at 90 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: the quarterback position like Josh Allen. So there is the 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: outline of the show. So let's getting started with some 92 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: hot reads. The hot reads brought to you by Geike 93 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: Goo fifteen minutes could say fifteen percent or more on 94 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: car and or motorcycle insurance stool, Little Texans audio jukebox. 95 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: Let's start with the quarterback of your Houston Texans and 96 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: that would be DeShawn Watson. Yeah, he went to the 97 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: podium yesterday and kind of to my point about the playoffs, 98 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: I was talking about it for me and for everybody man. 99 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: Everybody remembers the first time that they were in the playoffs, 100 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: and that for de Shaun was last year. And he said, 101 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: you know what playoffs are just a little bit different 102 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: going into every game. Every play matters, but you don't 103 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: really know it until you actually experienced that. And that's 104 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: what we experience last year. It's gonna happen fast. It's 105 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: gonna come by fast. The game is gonna go by faster, 106 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: the plays, the players play a little bit more faster 107 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: than the regular season. Everything just bees up. So just 108 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: being able to you know, be prepared and see how 109 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: you know the energy and everything changes in a playoff game. 110 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: It uh, it really helps out to kind of get 111 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: that first hand look last year and then you know 112 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: it didn't go away, But we got another opportunity this year. 113 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: There's no question. And you get in the playoffs. I 114 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: mean it's one and done. You play sixteen games, unless 115 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks you're playing for a playoff spot. 116 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: You're not losing. You're done playoffs. It's one and done. 117 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: And Sean talked about how much it means. It means 118 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: a little bit more. It's a new season. It's a 119 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: it's a different energy, and I mean every day counts. 120 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: Everything you do, accounting. All you gotta do is be 121 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: the best team that day and for those sixty minutes. 122 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: So if you can do that, regardless of what your 123 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: ranking is and what your record is, it doesn't matter. 124 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: And everyone is fighting for that one goal. So you know, 125 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: it's a blessing, it's a great honor, it's a great 126 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: opportunity for us in this franchise and everyone in that 127 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: locker room. So we're definitely gonna fight, you know, all 128 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: sixty man is to see what happened. One thing I 129 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: love about the Sean though is even though last year 130 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: was not what everybody wanted, but he wanted to take 131 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: this thing every single year. I want to go to 132 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: the super Bowl and had the opportunity in the playoffs 133 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: last year it didn't go well. He still loves being 134 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: the leader for this team. You're the face of the 135 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: franchise and you know everyone is looking looking for you. 136 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: So regardless if you're down, if you're up, and you're 137 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: you know facing that you know sometimes adversity, but you 138 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: haven't success too. You know, people want to still you know, 139 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: see the that fight and that will to you know, 140 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: continue to finish what you gotta, what you started or 141 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: you know, and try to win the game or what 142 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: you're you know, competing in so Uh yeah.

I don't know if 146 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: anybody's as competitive as this guy. And he talked about 147 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: he's always been that way. Started as flat football just 148 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: you know, really just in the backyard before even I 149 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: played you know, flat football, you know tag of football. 150 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: It's just I've always had a minsiety to compete and 151 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: do whatever it tastes to win and if I lose, 152 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: you know, back up and keep pushing forward. But I've 153 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: always had a mentality and I always wanted to win 154 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: and compete hard.

Talked about 164 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: how last year's playoff loss was motivating. No doubt last 165 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: year's last year, but you know, I kind of you know, 166 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: it was definitely a motivational deal throughout the off season. 167 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: But it's a new it's a new season, it's a 168 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: new playoff opportunity, it's a new you know, team that 169 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: we're going against with the Buffalo Bills and a different 170 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: personnel everything. So yeah, we can focus on that and 171 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: last year, we definitely don't want that to happen again. 172 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: But at the same time, we just got to focus 173 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: on one day at a time in this opportunity and 174 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: we can't let us slip away. So m yeah, you 175 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: can say that too. One of the things that I 176 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: love about the Sean is how honest he will be 177 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: about what's going on, about his play, about the team's play, 178 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: about everything really. And the one thing that he talked 179 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: about that really kind of hit me when he went 180 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: to the podium was was turnovers. Lately. He had two 181 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: interceptions against Tennessee, he had against Tampa Bay, he had 182 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: the one deep down the field, and he talked about 183 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: how the turnovers overall, not just his but overall have 184 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: really kind of held the offense back the last month 185 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: of the season. You take those two turnovers from Denver. 186 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: I'm not Denver, but uh Tennessee and then just mused 187 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: communication and in Tampa Bay and that's pretty much it. 188 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: In Denver game, we didn't get too many opportunities in 189 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: the red zone. But yeah, if I don't turn over two, 190 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: you know, balls over in Tennessee, you know that's fourteen 191 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: extra points and who know how the game goes. So 192 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: you know, something that we corrected, but you know, I 193 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: can't worry about that, and you know, just play football. 194 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: You know, whatever happens happens, and you know we'll move 195 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: on from it. And that's why I love I love 196 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: about him. Look, you gotta just move on. Be where 197 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: your feet are. That's where you want to be. Be 198 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: where your feet are focused on the moment at hand 199 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: and what you have to do. It's like right now, 200 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: I got a million things going on about focused on 201 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: this radio show, getting that done, and then whatever's next 202 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: is next you handle that, And that's the way de 203 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: Sean looks at things now. Of course, the Sean with 204 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: the Clemson University and they had themselves a big win 205 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: on Saturday in the playoff, and he said, Oh, yeah, 206 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: of course I enjoyed that win by Clemson over the 207 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: Ohio State University. No, it was awesome. Man, I just 208 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: flashed best and when I played in it in two 209 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen when we played Ohio State in the 210 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: same game in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl, and you know, 211 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: our game was a little different, kind of blew them out. 212 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was to see. Uh, it was dope 213 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: to see Trevor another Georgia boy.

And I mean he's doing great, And 216 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean it was fun because I'm calling every play 217 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: they're running. I remember that playbook like it's the back 218 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: of my hand. So it was dope to see him, 219 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, do the quarterback draws and you know, throw 220 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: the bang as and the god routes and everything and 221 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: the pop passing through the team and they've scoring the 222 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: on the last drift, so I remember all that. So 223 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: it was dope. Yeah, it was dope. There's no question. 224 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: The game was incredible.

Set hop 248 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: very good. Secondary. Um, you know, I don't really know 249 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: too many stats about individual players, but I know, you 250 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: know they're they're playing those the Saturday. So for them 251 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: to be able to do that, if I do some 252 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: things right, Yeah, they've been doing a lot of things right. 253 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: All right. It's Tuck to Laramie ton Soul who said 254 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: he's excited to get back in the playoffs. And I 255 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: started thinking about it, man, Miami went to the playoffs. Yeah, 256 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: back in twenty sixteen. They played the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now 257 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: was Tunsil's rookie year and he's playing guard. But he 258 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: said he's excited to get back to the playoffs with 259 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: the Texans. It's great to be here, man. It's great 260 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: to have an opportunity to be in the postseason. You know, 261 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: I haven't been in the postseason since my rookie year, 262 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: and it feels great to have this group to be around, 263 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: this group of guys and hit into the postseason. And 264 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: he said, they've got her run the football and they've 265 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: had some good moments running the football this year Tennessee. 266 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: They ran the ball very very well. They got to 267 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: do that again. Since LTI, you want to get the 268 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: run a game going if he opened up the passing game. 269 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: In my opinion, you know, that's something we probably as 270 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: running game, and that's the officers of mentality to keep 271 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: a quarterback clean in the run a game. Now, last 272 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: time the Texans played the Buffalo Bills, the star was 273 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph. He had to pick six essentially, kind I'm 274 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: a walkoff pick six if you will. He talked about 275 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: how this Bill's offense sort of unique and it's a 276 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: formidable one with all the speed they've got and Josh 277 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: Allen a quarterback, thank complete unit. You know, they are moving. 278 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: You know, obviously they got some speed at the receiver positions, 279 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: tight end position, um well around a running back position obviously. 280 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: You know the young guy with Frank Gold has been 281 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: doing it forever. And you know Alan at the quarterback position, 282 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: he can run the ball, extend plays with his legs 283 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: and make all the throwers. JJ obviously is a big 284 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: topic in the locker room, and j Joe was asked 285 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: about what it means to get JJ back. Just you know, 286 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: having a guy like that pumps everybody up. You know, 287 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: obviously him working hard and coming back early off an injury. 288 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: You know, that's a big time shows you to come 289 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: in and he asked for his team. But at the 290 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: end of the day, and you know, anytime you have 291 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: a guy like that said out there, you know, whether 292 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: you get his production or not, just having a guy 293 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: like that out there next to you know that he's 294 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: gonna give his all says a lot.

Romeo Carnell says, you don't get very 338 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: many accolades for doing what you do, but people are 339 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: talking about you. Notice. Yeah, my friend's friends, family and 340 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: fans notice. So you know that's that's good. And I'm 341 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: being able to make an impact this year and so 342 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: it's been huge for me. You know. I enjoyed my position, 343 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: not much notability and not like much going on. It's fun. 344 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: It's cool being in the spot man, you like to 345 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: not be in the spotlight. This is cool. It's just 346 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: you got other cool resitions. I don't understand, like whide 347 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: receiver and those guys they're fun. Like I like watching 348 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 1: them too. I wouldn't really be watching me as much 349 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: as I didn't play. I think you guys are cool, 350 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: you have T shirts, you're there, were fun. But like 351 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: we like, I feel like I can still like go 352 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: everywhere and still, like I said, I have that little 353 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: spot where like people don't really notice who you are. 354 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: People don't recognize you, and they I mean, i mean, 355 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure, Conda, but like they don't. They're not for sure. 356 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: So it's always like, oh and by the time I'm 357 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: already gone by, I mean I'm already that's probably not 358 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: the case. If you're traveling with j Yeah, you can't 359 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: go playing him. He's kind of you have to leave 360 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: him home. No guests on him. They know they're spot 361 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: on kind of. I can see that. I mean humans 362 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: walking around his size. Yeah, I'm gonna get to Jake. 363 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to j J in a bit. But first, Okay, 364 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: this week wild card week, it's playoffs. I think it's 365 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: a fun week because you're one of just a few 366 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: teams out they're practicing. What does this week like for 367 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: you as a player. You've got to experience a few times. 368 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: It's amazing. You know, it's crazy. There are one of 369 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: twelve teams playing throughout this playoffs and one of eight 370 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: playing on that day, and so you're just you excited 371 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: and you're just ready to go out there for the 372 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: next game. You know that this is this is a 373 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: one and done type of deal. You know, it's tournament tom, 374 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: you know. So it's it's fun. This is what you 375 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: play for, It's what you grow up wanting to play for, 376 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: to go get a chance to go play for World championships. 377 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: So does it feel different in the meeting rooms or 378 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: on the practice field for the players? I think it's 379 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: a little more attention to details. Everybody's just I don't 380 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: know if I would say on edge, but everybody's just auntie, 381 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: you know, especially for people who don't know, like about 382 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs. You know, I've been fortunate enough to go 383 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: a couple of times, but having gone as far as 384 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: I wanted. But it's different, you know, it's different. It's 385 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: a different style ball. Everything is that much more important 386 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: because you don't just got the next Sunday to count on. 387 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: You know, you know, you're playing to get to the 388 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 1: next Sunday. To earn the right to play the next 389 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: Sunday after that. Every time you made it as a rookie, 390 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of players say that playoff football 391 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: is different from regular season football. It's just faster. There's 392 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 1: a different energy. Is that what you felt like? I mean, 393 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: you were already a rookie, so you're getting adjusted to 394 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: this music game. So what was that like making that 395 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: judge play. It's crazy, it's faster. Everybody's you know, you're 396 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: scheming up week to week, just scheming up for one week. 397 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: You're putting all your eggs in that one basket for 398 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: one week. You're not holding anything back. So it's different. 399 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: You never know what you're gonna get. You know, people 400 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: bring out different things and so it's just it's fun. 401 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: But you know, it's still the game within the game, 402 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: So you gotta go out there and play your game. 403 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, just earned your right to play 404 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: the next week. How do you feel about this season? 405 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: You've set some single season career highs. You did it 406 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: in quarterback hits, you more than doubled your previous total, 407 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: and then you've got a single season career high in 408 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: sacks TfL. I mean you're have been quite a year. 409 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: So how does it feel going into the playoffs with 410 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: sort of the season that you've had this year? And 411 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: what do you think was part of that success? For sure? 412 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: For you, I think it feels good. You know, just 413 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: we're playing playing good ball with my guys right now, 414 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: and that's fun. You know, it's always awesome guy then 415 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: playing my brothers. But you know, it's just I guess 416 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: this off season working just trying to trend forward. You know, 417 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: if you're not progressing, you're dying. I felt like I 418 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: was just trying to trend forward as a player, seeing 419 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: guys who came in with me, you know, this defense, 420 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: our team being better, all of us growing up. You know, 421 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to contribute my part and I felt like, 422 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: you know, I was able to do that and just 423 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: got to keep doing it. In the playoffs, everyone talks 424 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: about how good you are against the run. Yeah, you're 425 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: really stout up there. So you're gonna face the Bills. 426 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: It's a team that you saw last year. It's a 427 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: little bit different, but Josh Allen's the same. Yeah, So 428 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: what do you see from him when you watch him 429 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: on film? Going from a year one year, two he 430 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: can make any throw. You know, I think he's a 431 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: little bit more confident in his arm this year. I 432 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: think last year, you know, he used his way his 433 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: legs as a way to get confident with his arm 434 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: and stay in games. I think he's still mobile. You know, 435 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: he definitely still can run, but I think he's very 436 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: confident in his arm and what they do. You know, 437 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: it's another year in the system for him. He's just 438 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: gaining comfortability. You know, they got a good young team. 439 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of guys out there flying around, 440 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: so it's a really fun game. What is it like 441 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: facing these mobile quarterbacks with the design runs? Do you 442 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: like that? Is that? Obviously it's more of a challenge. 443 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: But a guy that likes the stuffs like growing up 444 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: in the air that I grew up and it's all 445 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: you're used to, like, you know what I mean. Like 446 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: I've been playing in high school against the college against it, 447 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: now here against it, so you know, it's just all 448 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: you're used to it week to week. I guess it changes, 449 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, you have some guys that stand in the 450 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: pocket a little bit more, but you just get so 451 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: used to it because it's all you play against now, 452 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: especially the way like college balls trending in the way, 453 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: then the field strands all you go against us like 454 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: it's a new phase of the game. What do you 455 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: think is the biggest key to defending against the run? 456 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: Is it going to be technique? Is it going to 457 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: be film study? Is it reps? I think there's just 458 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: a lot that goes into it. You know, a little 459 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: bit of luck goes into it, and then a little 460 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: bit of just not letting them get get you outside 461 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: of your game, but also being aware that their mobile quarterbacks, 462 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: they're not just gonna stand there and give the big 463 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: wild wrestlings. But you can't focus on that too much 464 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: and get outside of what you do as a player. 465 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: You know. I remember once on one of our radio shows, 466 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,479 Speaker 1: you said, in every game, you know exactly what's going 467 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: to happen. You know what the other team's gonna do. 468 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of whether or not you can execate, 469 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: execute what you need to do. Everybody know, I feel 470 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: like everybody kind of has a deal what people are 471 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: gonna do. And like even if you didn't, like after 472 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: that player, you're like, oh I kind of I kind 473 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: of could have guessed that, But like you just gotta 474 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: know when those take your have your best guests of 475 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: when those series of things are happening, you know. So 476 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: I mean playing the game and watching games, watching full 477 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: games on film. I think it helps you get a 478 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: better feel of how the game is gonna go. I 479 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: know you love your d Lineman, but how about Angelo 480 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: blocks in this year with two block field goals back 481 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: to back games. I know you call him Popolo. I 482 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: asked him about it. Um, what do you think of Papolo? 483 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: He's been able to do good man. You know, he 484 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: just actually had another baby today, which is girl, so 485 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: that's a big congrats. But you know he's been doing 486 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: a good job and he's just getting his hand up, 487 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, me and him and Carlos and the guys 488 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: in the field goal Black team doing good job, getting 489 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: some push. And Low's probably got the best vertical out 490 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: of all of us. Or he's the one that jumps. 491 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: Surprising when you look at him because he's a big guy, 492 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: like yeah, but you know he's explosive, supposive guys, so 493 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: he's got He's a little more bounced though, so we 494 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: let him do the jumping, all right. JJ. Obviously the 495 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: big news is with JJ and him coming back to 496 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: the practice field. Tell me what it's like when JJ's 497 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: on the field versus when he got hurt and then 498 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: he was when he was gone. How much did it 499 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: adjust what you had to do. I know everybody else 500 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: had to sort of step up, and no one, no 501 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: one player can make up for JJ. But what was 502 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: that transition like for you? What will it be like 503 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: now that he's back on the on the field. I 504 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be you know, just fun having him 505 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: back out there, you know, just out there running around 506 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: with us, getting out there, you know, I think that's 507 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,479 Speaker 1: like the biggest thing. And you know, having him out 508 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: there's u it helps just just taking breaths and just 509 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: like you being able to go out there and being like, 510 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: all right, this is what we're doing this, like this, 511 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: our guys back out this. You know, we're excited. But um, 512 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's just it was different. You know, it's 513 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: different for all of us. You know a lot of 514 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: us aren'gus out there playing on that island that he 515 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: plays on. So you're going out there for us just 516 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: bigger guys. A little bit different, but there's gonna be 517 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: in back having back, especially at this time in a season, 518 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: it's important to have that leadership, that leader back, and 519 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: that player back on the field, you know, that production. 520 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: Do you notice the difference in them back on the 521 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: field after the injury. Obviously he's gone through sheer injuries, 522 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: but to come back in a season where he wasn't 523 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: expecting to come back, does he just seem different? Alms? Yeah, 524 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,239 Speaker 1: I think he's just excited. I don't think know if 525 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: I see like different player, but I think he's just 526 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: excited to be out there, just like a kid who 527 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,239 Speaker 1: just got You know, there's second chance. You don't get 528 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: those offense, so he's excited to make it take advantage 529 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: of it. All right, So it's the end of twenty nineteen, 530 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: so I've got to ask you your favorite play that 531 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: you were involved in in twenty nineteen. Since you don't 532 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: get a lot of accolades at one favorite play, you 533 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: to put your favorite play out there, favorite one or two. 534 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: Even that pick six by Rogue against Tampa was pretty cool, 535 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 1: just because me and they were just like talk out 536 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: of it before the game, and it wasn't necessarily my 537 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: play was It was just exciting to go out there. 538 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: You know, you've been banged up a couple of weeks before, 539 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: and then now he's back out there and he catches 540 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: the pick six to first play the game. That was 541 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: pretty cool. You talked about him possibly getting Yeah, I said, 542 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: I told him, I said, Rope, I'm tired of everybody 543 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: else taking pictures in the end zone. We don't get 544 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,239 Speaker 1: taking the pictures in the end zone. I was like, well, 545 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna get to take a picture in the end zone. 546 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: To take a picture in the end zone. Yeah, So 547 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: I was excited about that part Alum, that's probably that. 548 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: And then the first stact this year, you know, I 549 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: got you got it him own.

It's time for this week's Stats Challenge, 573 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: brought to you by Schlumberge Visa Houston, Texas dot Com. 574 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: They'd registered to take the stats Challenge now on Saturday. 575 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: We have a pretty good feeling that J. J. Watt, 576 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: activated to the fifty three man roster, will be active 577 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: on Saturday. Don't know how much you'll play, but I 578 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: would assume and gotta have a situations. Will be on 579 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: the field, pass rush situations, He'll be on the field. 580 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: We don't know yet about Will Fuller. I hope that 581 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: Will Fuller plays, But this is your stats challenge, which 582 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: got me thinking. I don't know why. When I was 583 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: driving in this morning, I got to thinking about this. 584 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: I heard Sean and Seth talking about So I heard 585 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: him talking about JJ Watt and we're talking about Will 586 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: Fuller at some point, and I was like, well, let's 587 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: put him together. Both of them, unfortunately, have had to 588 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: deal with injuries over the last four years. Now. Will 589 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: was drafted in twenty sixteen. So in those four years, 590 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: the Texans have played sixty seven games. They've played three 591 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: playoff games and then four seasons of sixteen games each, 592 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: So sixty seven games. Of those sixty seven games from 593 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen, how many do you think 594 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: Will Fuller and JJ Watt have played together? Now? I 595 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: eliminated a couple of a few games from that Indianapolis 596 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,719 Speaker 1: this year because Will went out after play three Kansas 597 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: City in twenty seventeen, because JJ went out after basically 598 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: the first like five to seven plays. So I didn't 599 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: count those games at all, but of the sixty seven, 600 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: how many of them featured both Will Fuller and JJ 601 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: Watt in it? Seventeen of the sixty seven, so just 602 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: to shade over twenty five percent, So basically, one out 603 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: of every four games you've got JJ and will Fuller 604 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: on the field together. In those seventeen games, the Texans 605 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: went eleven and six, and in large part they want 606 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: eleven and six because they'd lost the first three games 607 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: to start the twenty eighteen season. Will miss that first game. 608 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: But then after that, you know what I made. I 609 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: just made a mistake. They were five and two in 610 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: those games because we'll miss the first game, so they 611 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: were twelve and five. That makes it even better. How 612 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: about that twelve and five in those games when Will 613 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: Fuller and JJ Water on the field for the full 614 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: complimented the game. Hopefully we're able to get that on 615 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: Saturday and have this team as close two hundred percent 616 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: as it could possibly be. Now it won't be one 617 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: hundred percent because Sean Gibson is on IR and we 618 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: miss him. We miss to Sean, and we're gonna miss 619 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: the Shawn in that back end. But hopefully Jo will 620 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: die be ready to go. And Mike Adams, the venerable 621 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: one who is with the number of NFL teams, a 622 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: great vet for this team. Hopefully he's ready to go. 623 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: And of course Justin Reid, hopefully he can stay healthy 624 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: and be the guy in the back end to keep 625 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: it all together. So Fuller and Watt together in four years, 626 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: have played seventeen of the team sixty seven games. That's 627 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: a little over twenty five percent. And that is your 628 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: Schlumberge stats challenge for the evening. Now, football doesn't stop 629 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: for me or my next guest, my good friend for 630 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: Sports Radio six ten from a raised Racks signal caller, 631 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: former Dallas Cowboys signal caller, Star of the World League. 632 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: It's my good friend, Clint Starner. Clint happy to you're 633 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 1: my man. How you doing, buddy, man? Say until you look. 634 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: We're in the middle of bowl season, which is always 635 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: beautiful on New Year's Day? And you added to the 636 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: mix that the Texans got a Week one match up 637 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: versus Buffalo right here in Houston. So don't I don't 638 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: know that it could be any better, man, That the 639 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: new year is starting off exactly how I wanted to 640 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: start off. I wouldn't change the Dame thing, and I'm 641 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: looking forward to it. All right, Clinton, let me just 642 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: I'll open the floor to you about this matchup with 643 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. What's your biggest concern about facing Buffalo 644 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: and what do you think about this matchup with the 645 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: Bill specifically? Well, I think, first and foremost, I don't 646 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: know that I could hand tick a better team. As 647 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: far as if you take the AFC playoff teams and 648 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: you put them on a chart and you're the Houston Texans, 649 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: who would you pinting point that you want to play? 650 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: Some people would say to Tennessee Titan, I'd say, but 651 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: you've already played them twice. To play them three times, 652 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: you know, three times in four weeks would be tough. 653 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: They're they're a very complete football team, and so I 654 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: personally would select Buffalo. I think this is a great 655 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: first round opponent for the Texans to get to the 656 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,959 Speaker 1: second round. I think it's a great first round opponent. 657 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: When you start talking about the matchups across the board, 658 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: and I understand they got a very good defense, I 659 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,479 Speaker 1: get that. I mean, who who in the playoffs at 660 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: this point in time? Heck, even Kansas City's defense is 661 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: trending upwards, so there's gonna be some good defenses that 662 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna face. And so I understand they got a 663 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: great defense, but the strength of the Houston Texans is 664 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: and should be their offense, starting with number four Deshaun Watson, 665 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: and so it's a strength on strength. I don't think 666 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: this is an offensive team in Buffalo that can score 667 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: a ton of points and get this thing lopsided. So 668 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: it's it's one of those games where I just think 669 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: it's a great matchup. Man. I think the text is 670 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: going there, and if they handle business, if they take 671 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: care of that, if they do their job. I know 672 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: it's not very sexty, but if they do their job, 673 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: they should come out on top and advance to the 674 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: second round. So I love, I love this matchup for 675 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien to Shaun Watson in the Houston Texans. But 676 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: I want to make sure phrase this properly because last 677 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: year's playoff loss to the Colts was pretty much across 678 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: the board, just an F minus for this entire team, 679 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: But it was the Shawn's first playoffs start. He had 680 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: guys that are banged up at receiver, his offensive line 681 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: was just a mess, and he did not have his 682 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: best game or a game that people were accustomed to 683 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: seeing from De Shaun. As he goes into this second game, 684 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: how difficult do you think it is? In part, I'm 685 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: asking for you how it was internalizing a bad performance 686 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: and then or not internalizing that bad performance and going 687 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: out the next time and making sure that those same 688 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: things didn't happen without pressing, and then being the quarterback 689 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: that you could actually be. How tough is that gonna 690 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: be for Deshaun to kind of leave last year behind 691 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: and just live in the moment at twenty nineteen and 692 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: facing this Buffalo team. What do you think about that 693 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: for him on Saturday? Well, I think, first and foremost, 694 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: I think de Shaun Watson's a guy that he literally 695 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: lives the statement of the where your feet are? You know, 696 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: I don't think he's concerned at all about last week, 697 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: about Tampa, about last year, and so I just don't 698 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: think I think the Shaun is beyond concerning himself with 699 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: last year. But as you and I talk about it, 700 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: you know, you look at it, it's they're they're a 701 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: healthier football team right now, being the Houston Texans. They're healthier, 702 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: they're they're significantly more talented, particularly on the offensive side 703 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: of the football. The relationship between Deshaun Watson and Bill 704 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: O'Brien the play caller is closer to what they're trying 705 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: to get to long term than it was a year ago. 706 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: The opponent coming in here again being Buffalo. I love 707 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: the matchup. It is not the Indianapolis coach. It is 708 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: not Andrew Luck and t Y Hilton who had your number. 709 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: It's not those guys that have had a ton of 710 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: success in this league, both through the air and running 711 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: the football. It's not an opponent to where if you 712 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: allow the quarterback to pick you apart, he will do that, 713 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: and he will throw for three hundred yards and four touchdowns, 714 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: and t Y Hilton will get one hundred plus yards 715 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: and a couple of touchdowns. That's not what you're up against. 716 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: And so I just think that it's fun to look 717 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: back at last year, and rightfully so we all will 718 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: do that in the media business this week. We'll talk 719 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: about that Indie game last year. But I just believe 720 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: from several different angles, the Week one matchup for the 721 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: Houston Texans is significantly different, both internally and relative to 722 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: the opponent coming in. So I just don't think John. 723 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't mean to dismiss the question as far as 724 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 1: last year goes, but I just don't think that that 725 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: this team is anywhere close to who they were last year. 726 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: And I don't think that the Buffalo Bills are anywhere 727 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: close to Andrew Luck and t Y Hilton. They're good. 728 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from them, but the Andrew 729 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: Luck's not coming in this building, their quarterback does not 730 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: strike fear in this football team. You go in there, 731 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: you handle business, and you should be able to take 732 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: care of Josh Allen. There's just a lot less concern 733 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: and a lot less history between these two teams than 734 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: there were last year as well. So for me, Man, 735 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a new year, it's a new day, 736 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,439 Speaker 1: and I don't think they're they're looking back at all. No, Listen, 737 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: I agree with you one thousand percent on that. I 738 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: just know that there have been some thoughts and talk 739 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: amongst people that say, well, hey, is there going to 740 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: be a hangover from last year. I listen, I'd I'd 741 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: answer my own question the exact way that you did. 742 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: He is exactly He's the epitome of be where your 743 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: feet are. I mean, I think you said it best 744 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,439 Speaker 1: and and you never have to apologize for a dumb 745 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 1: question if you think it is for me. Never, man, 746 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: I ask all kinds of them, which leads me and 747 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: I want to spend if you don't mind. What do 748 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: you think of A. J. McCarron last week? I know 749 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: it's against the Titans, but they were playing their guys. 750 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: They had to win that game. What do you think 751 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: of the way AJ played last week? I know he's 752 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: not going to start in the playoffs, or at least 753 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't, because someone would have happened to 754 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: the shan for that too happened. But what do you 755 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 1: think of AJ on Sunday against the Titans? Yeah? Look, 756 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: I mean I walked away from that game being encouraged 757 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: about the backup quarterback position with the Houston Texans. I mean, 758 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: I've always in the back of my mind, I know 759 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: who AJ mccarreon. He's I covered him in college. I 760 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: know he's a distributor. I know he's mature beyond his years, 761 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: or let's stay mature beyond his experience as far as 762 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: snap count in the NFL. And so I knew he 763 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: would be okay, But boy, he's talking about a guy 764 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: that I was impressed with his ability to identify some 765 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: pressures and and adjust the protections and get the ball 766 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: out on time and just play the game a clean 767 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: style of game. And when you've got this kind of 768 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: receiving corps around you. I know he didn't have Fuller, 769 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: didn't have Steals, and he didn't have m Hopkins. But 770 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,399 Speaker 1: when if he were forced into action for some some reason, 771 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: knocking what I hope it never happened. But but I 772 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: think you got you got to back up that that's serviceable. 773 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: I think you got to back up that could move 774 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: the football. I think you got a backup that can 775 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: make all the throws on the football field. And I 776 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: think he's got a will come with AJ mccairn. Whether 777 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: it's his the swag that he's got, or it's the 778 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 1: what he did in college, or maybe he just has 779 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: the it factor. I don't know, ay J McCarron, but 780 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 1: it appears that that I think he's a guy that 781 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 1: the team would embrace. I think they I think they would. 782 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: They would, they would rally around a guy like that. 783 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: And I think we just saw the tip of the 784 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: Iceberg versus Tennessee. I mean, there's some of the things 785 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: that he did, um, they may not be highlight real worthy, 786 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: but but it sure was impressive knowing that he's the 787 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: backup and he's playing potentially playing handcuff because a lot 788 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: of the talent was on the bench. To go in 789 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: there and do what he did, I thought was really impressive. Man. 790 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: I think the backup, the backup quarterback position with the 791 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: Houston texting right now is in good hands. Well said 792 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: my man, All right, ninety nine comes back, we think. 793 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: I mean he's been activated to the fifty three man roster. 794 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: I hate the fact that Sean Gibson had to go 795 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: to IR, but he has been banged up pretty much 796 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: since that Indianapolis game, the first one up there when 797 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: he had to leave that game with a back issue, 798 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 1: and it's been a problem ever since. So t Gip 799 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: was gutting it out. So I hate losing him for 800 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But everybody wants to see what ninety nine does. 801 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: And Clint people have asked me, you know, what do 802 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 1: you expect John, What do you expect from JJ? And 803 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm not totally sure what to tell him because I 804 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: feel like early on they'll try and manage his play count, 805 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: but as soon as he starts, you know, banging the 806 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: pads a little bit and realizing that he's he's okay. 807 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: If he is that he's gonna want to be in 808 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: there as much as possible. What kind of boost do 809 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: you think it gives the defense to have what back there, 810 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: even if it's just his presence of being on the 811 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: field that the Buffalo Bills have to account for him 812 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: in the pass rush. What do you think about JJ 813 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: coming back this week against Buffalo and hopefully beyond, Well, 814 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's as as big of 815 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: impact that he has been that he was at practice 816 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: last week and he's been practicing with the team. I 817 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: think the juice that he brings it practice is just 818 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: one of I mean I related to Junior stay Out 819 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 1: when I was with the Dolphins. I mean, there's just 820 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,399 Speaker 1: a different The bar is set a little bit higher 821 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: when those guys are setting the tone at practice. And 822 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: so I gotta believe that that him just being there 823 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: for two weeks throughout the practice time has been extremely valuable. 824 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 1: Now when it comes to game day, you know, to me, 825 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: it's a pitch count. I mean, I just don't And 826 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 1: if you're going in you're playing Baltimore or you're playing 827 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 1: Kansas City, he's gonna throw it fifty five times, and 828 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: and your ability to get to my homes is really 829 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: going to determine whether you win this football game or not. 830 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: I would say, hey, it's playoffs. We got to get 831 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: to the second round, and you're just gonna have to 832 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,760 Speaker 1: go until until you're you're healthy or it pops again. 833 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: I think that that would be the case if you're 834 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 1: playing winning football teams, but you're playing Baltimore. This defense 835 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: has shown the ability to stop the run and play 836 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: an effective style of football without JJ Watt and quite 837 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: frankly without JJ, without Bradley Roby, without fann Ardric McKinney, 838 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: and so I don't know that they need ninety nine 839 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: to play forty or fifties now to beat the Buffalo Bills. Now, 840 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 1: if this game, for some reason, the offense sputters early 841 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 1: and you get into the second half and it's a 842 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: dog fight and you need him on every play, then 843 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: then you got to adjust accordingly. But I think going 844 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: in to me, the plan has to be a pitch 845 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,879 Speaker 1: count man. You play him on third downs, you play 846 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: him in critical situations and you see how the game unfolds, 847 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: and that that would be my plan. I just don't think. 848 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be a bad it's gonna be a 849 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 1: monster now keeping the guy off the field because he 850 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: won't play every snap. But I just don't think that 851 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,720 Speaker 1: going into a game coming off an injury, any injury, 852 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: not just a peck injury, but any injury, when you 853 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 1: return sooner than a month, sooner than people expected you 854 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: to even be considered. I just don't know that it's 855 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: it's the smart thing to do is to throw him 856 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: out there and ask him to go bench press, double teams, 857 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: versus the run, versus the Buffalo bills out of the shoot. 858 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 1: If you need it at the end, go get a 859 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 1: big fella. But but initially I believe it's a pitch count. 860 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 1: Talking to our buddy Clint Sterner, Clint, I'd be remiss 861 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: if I didn't ask you about Clemson, the Ohio State 862 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: and the performance that Joe Burrow it on against the 863 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: Oklahoma Sooners. It was a blowout, but you almost couldn't 864 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: take your eyes off of LSU and what Burrow was 865 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,399 Speaker 1: doing against Oklahoma. It was. It was fascinating to watch 866 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: they at forty nine points before a half, and then 867 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: you had the nightcap, which was maybe one of the 868 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: better college football games we've seen. What do you feel 869 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: about the two teams moving on? Two Tigers and Tigers, 870 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 1: a battle of Death Valley, LSU and Clemson. What do 871 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: you think about the whole playoff weekend? And then obviously 872 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: the matchup we got coming in a couple mondays, Well, look, 873 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: I don't know that we could have We could have 874 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: asked for two better games. And when you get a 875 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: blowout that's lopsided the way that that LSU blew out ou, 876 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: it's it's it's really good. The fact that it's entertaining, 877 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: the way that it's hard to believe. Man, I mean 878 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: that he's making big time throws. The play caller, Joe 879 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: Brady is doing a hell of a job. And let's 880 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 1: be honest, these receivers on the back end of it, Yeah, 881 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: I mean they're catching fifty fifty balls at about you 882 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: know what I mean, they just don't off them. And 883 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,879 Speaker 1: so a degree of difficulties through the roof and Joe 884 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 1: Burrow and the and his receiving corps that now They've added, 885 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: obviously the tidy and Randy Moss's son go figure that 886 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: he's I knew he was on the team, but I 887 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: didn't know he's making plays like that. Yeah, um so. 888 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: So I mean, look, what they're doing is is is specially. 889 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: You gotta believe that Clinton's gonna be able to slow 890 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: them down a little bit, a little bit more than 891 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: than OU was able to do. And so I think 892 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: it gonna be a different matchup. But I still love 893 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 1: I still love the LSU. In the championship that the 894 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 1: evening game between Ohio statehen Cleinson was it was an 895 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: old school backyard brawl. Man. It was fun to watch. 896 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: It was. It was very entertaining. I think they did 897 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 1: a hell of a job of getting the four best 898 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,280 Speaker 1: teams in the country in the playoffs. I know OU didn't. 899 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 1: I know OU didn't perform well, but I do believe 900 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: they earned they earned that spot, and so I thought 901 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: they did a heal of thet job getting the four 902 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: best teams and in that in that tournament, and it 903 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 1: was fun to watch. I'm looking forward to to LSU Clinson, 904 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. That's my man. Clint Sterner, Clint 905 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: Happy New year, my man, thank you so much. We'll 906 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: talk to you next week. My friend. Great stuff there 907 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,720 Speaker 1: from a pal, dirty Red, Clint Sterner or Sports Radio 908 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 1: six ten, amongst many other assets in his toolbox. As 909 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: it were, all right, we get back. It's time for 910 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: our Men behind the MIC's segments of the week, and 911 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 1: that means John Murphy, long time play by play voice 912 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, will join Mark VanderMeer and break 913 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,240 Speaker 1: this one down in full next on Texans All Access. 914 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 1: We've got twenty twenty off to a good start. One 915 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: hours in the books. We got one hour left to 916 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,320 Speaker 1: go on this edition of Texans All Access, the first 917 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 1: of the new year, twenty twenty, twenty twenty. I don't 918 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: know how you're gonna say that twenty twenty. I'll say 919 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I guess I like it better that way 920 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 1: than twenty twenty. But either way, we are continuing to 921 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: dive into this matchup between the Bills and the Texans. 922 00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 1: Play Off Football twenty nineteen season is here now. That 923 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 1: also means we continue our Men behind the Mic series 924 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: with Mark Vandermer and the opposing play by play voice. 925 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: And it's a guy that we've gotten to know, seeing 926 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: at the Combine, seeing at the Senior Bowl. A guy 927 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 1: by the name of John Murphy has been a long 928 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,919 Speaker 1: time voice of the Buffalo Bills, a great guy to boot, 929 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 1: and he spent a few minutes with Mark breaking down 930 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: this matchup from his and the Bill's perspective. Mark, take 931 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: it away, John, Let's start right here, as each of 932 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,280 Speaker 1: these teams had an interesting Sunday, an interesting week seventeen 933 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,280 Speaker 1: where you're playing a game and all of a sudden, 934 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: the preseason game kind of breaks out. Yet it's a 935 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: real game. So tell me what the experience was like 936 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills players, coaches, and the fans as 937 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: well going through that. Yeah, it was that great. I mean, 938 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: you're right, a preseason game broke out. I would argue 939 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: it was even worse than a preseason game. For a 940 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 1: while though, it just wasn't anything much, much of anything 941 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 1: going on. In the Bills game against the Jets, they 942 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,799 Speaker 1: lost it, you know, thirteen to uh. I don't even 943 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 1: know what the final was, but they lost it. They 944 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: didn't thirteen to six at they didn't score touchdown. Josh 945 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,399 Speaker 1: Allen came in, played two series, attempted five passes, didn't 946 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,879 Speaker 1: get much done. Everybody, all the starters were gone after 947 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 1: the first couple of series. It was pretty clear they 948 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: were determined nuts get anybody heard in that game, and 949 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 1: they didn't even succeeded that, right. They lost their start, 950 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: one of their starting offensive tackles and defensive back too, 951 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: So it was it was kind of it was a 952 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,879 Speaker 1: very forgettable game, and YopE, it doesn't have any long 953 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 1: lasting impact for the Bill. What was the turning point 954 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 1: this season for the Buffalo Bills? Was it the Thanksgiving 955 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 1: win at Dallas? Or is there another moment I should 956 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,320 Speaker 1: be focusing on. Yeah, that's a really good question. You know, 957 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 1: they were pretty consistent all year. There wasn't a real 958 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: big turning point. They won the games they should win. 959 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 1: They beat lesser opponents for the most part, from start 960 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 1: to finish. I guess the Cowboys game is important because 961 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 1: it was the start of a four game stretch really 962 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,720 Speaker 1: against really good teams and top ten defenses in the NFL. 963 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: And they came out and dominated in that game on 964 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day at Dallas, and they you know, they didn't 965 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 1: win a whole lot after that. They lost in fact, 966 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 1: three or four after that, But that was a game 967 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,320 Speaker 1: that I think indicated that they were going to be 968 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 1: a force to be reckoned with in a playoff team 969 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 1: in the NFL because it was a pretty complete game, 970 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 1: probably the most complete game the Bills have played this year. 971 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,359 Speaker 1: John Murphy, voice of the Buffalo Bills with us, all Right, 972 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: so you lost close against Baltimore, New England. These were 973 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: close games. What did the Bills need to get them 974 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,839 Speaker 1: over the hump in those games? And what might they 975 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 1: need on Saturday that would have helped them in those 976 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,320 Speaker 1: games as well? Yeah, I mean they need more consistent offense. 977 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 1: They need you know what, they really could use as 978 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 1: a better start to their games. They've been a very 979 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: slow starting team all season long, and it would really 980 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 1: help them immensely if they could start fast and maybe 981 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 1: do a better job of getting out of the gate quickly. 982 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,760 Speaker 1: And that goes for Josh Allen and the entire offense. 983 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 1: I think that would go a long way. They did 984 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 1: it against Dallas and what was their most complete game 985 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,719 Speaker 1: of the second half of the year. But they've been consistent. 986 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 1: They haven't been They've been a great defensive team. They 987 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,319 Speaker 1: score points when they need him for the most part 988 00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 1: in their ten wins. You could say that but they 989 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: haven't scored a lot of points and they haven't been 990 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 1: a big producing offense. So I would think getting off 991 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 1: to a fast start and be the best thing they 992 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,879 Speaker 1: could do to get to come up with a win 993 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 1: this Saturday against the Texas John We see the numbers, 994 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,239 Speaker 1: But what is different about Josh Allen this year that 995 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 1: we don't see? Well, yeah, I mean he's just more consistent, 996 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: he's more he makes better decisions than he did a 997 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 1: year ago. A year ago he was sort of a 998 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,840 Speaker 1: wild man who was very talented physically and as a 999 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: runner and a passer. But this year he makes more. 1000 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 1: He makes better decisions. He chooses to be careful with 1001 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 1: the football. He had a rough start to the season, 1002 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 1: ten turnovers in the first couple of games, and then 1003 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 1: he just shut down the turnover machine, you know, And 1004 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 1: I think that was a big, a big turnaround for him. 1005 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: He wasn't turning the ball over. That's been the best 1006 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 1: thing he's done is stopped the turnovers, and that came 1007 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 1: after a rough four first games this year. But he's 1008 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 1: a good player, and he's a talented player. He's a 1009 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 1: great thrower, got a big, strong arm, and he's a 1010 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 1: tremendous runner. I think he's a force, But as long 1011 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 1: as he plays under control, I think feel much better 1012 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: about Josh Allen. John Murphy, voice of the Bills with 1013 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,919 Speaker 1: the Sun Texans Radio. John Brown, what is he meant 1014 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 1: to this team? Thousand yard receiver? Yeah, he's meant everything. Really. 1015 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,959 Speaker 1: He and Cole Beasley, also the former Cowboy, where maybe 1016 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: two of the best free agent signings last March, and 1017 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 1: they added a lot to an area where the Bills 1018 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 1: needed help. Wide receiver. John Brown in particular has added 1019 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,320 Speaker 1: a speed dimension to the offense which they did not have. 1020 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 1: But he's a much more complete receiver than that. He's 1021 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 1: kind of an all around receiver and he's done a 1022 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: good job of getting open and being a reliable target 1023 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,760 Speaker 1: for Josh Shallen. He does a good job in blocking 1024 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,800 Speaker 1: when he's asked to do that too, and more most importantly, 1025 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: he's a good teammate who seems to have an act 1026 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 1: for making the right plays at the right time. I 1027 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,799 Speaker 1: think he really is an outstanding player, maybe a number 1028 00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: one receiver. I think the Bills would argue that he 1029 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 1: is a number one receiver, but we'll see. We'll see 1030 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: if they add more help at wide receiver during the offseason, John, 1031 00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: the fans here are very familiar with Ed Oliver, So 1032 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,759 Speaker 1: how does he fit in and Buffalo? So far we 1033 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: could see the numbers, but what can you tell us? 1034 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 1: You know, it's been an engine year for Ed Oliver, 1035 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:11,400 Speaker 1: the Houston native and Houston Cougar's alumnus m He started 1036 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 1: out slowly and was not a factor in the Buffalo 1037 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 1: defense because part of the rotation for the most part, 1038 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 1: but eventually lost his starting job to another defensive tackle, 1039 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips. He stuck with it, though, and he did 1040 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 1: a good job of hanging in there and making plays 1041 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,920 Speaker 1: and doing what he could to get back in the line. 1042 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 1: If he's still not a starter, but he's an important 1043 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,880 Speaker 1: part of their defensive line rotation. The same things that 1044 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 1: Folk saw for the Houston Cougars, they'll see from l 1045 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,879 Speaker 1: Oliver now. He's He's very quick off the ball, he's 1046 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,800 Speaker 1: very a very good penetrator as a defensive tackle. I 1047 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,799 Speaker 1: think he does. He kind of gets overwhelmed sometime by 1048 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,239 Speaker 1: big offensive lineman and can get lost in the run game. 1049 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: But the Bills are a pretty good job of spotting 1050 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 1: him in there and getting him enough significant work so 1051 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 1: that he's a he's a contributor on defense. He had 1052 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: a huge game against the Cowboys and Thanksgiving Boy, Jordan 1053 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: Phillips looks like a game wrecker. What can you tell 1054 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 1: us about this guy? Yeah, really a great story and 1055 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 1: a good guy. He's you know, he came on last 1056 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,799 Speaker 1: year a waiver claim by the Bills from the Dallas 1057 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: count from the Miami Dolphins. Came on last year and 1058 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: was a contributor as part of the defensive line rotation, 1059 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,360 Speaker 1: and then came in here, got a one year contract 1060 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 1: extension this year, just one year, and so he came 1061 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 1: in here this year determined to do even more and 1062 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 1: he's done that. He's been a really good defensive addition 1063 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,800 Speaker 1: for the Bills. Number one nine and a half sacks, 1064 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: Number one on the team in sacks. I think he 1065 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 1: and Aaron Donalds share the lead with the number of 1066 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,759 Speaker 1: sacks by defensive tackles this year. He's a disruptor, you know. 1067 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 1: He's good against a run, really good against the past. 1068 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 1: He's quick, and he plays with a very high motor. 1069 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:41,759 Speaker 1: And he's been an important part of the buffle to 1070 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,959 Speaker 1: Bills defense this year. All right, give me a couple 1071 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 1: of guys that don't get the headlines, that don't really 1072 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,719 Speaker 1: get the attention of some of the other stars, so 1073 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 1: to speak. So who else can we focus on this weekend? Yeah, 1074 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:53,800 Speaker 1: I mean the one guy that comes to mind is 1075 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 1: Karen Johnson, the Bill nickel corner who may you know, 1076 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,000 Speaker 1: we'll see they have some an injury to Levi Wallace, 1077 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,319 Speaker 1: their second cornerback, and then that may mean a change 1078 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: in alignment. Maybe Terren Johnson gets more reps than normal, 1079 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,239 Speaker 1: but as a nickel corner he's been really good. He's 1080 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 1: a great run defender and a really good pass defender 1081 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: and is almost the perfect nickel corner now in his 1082 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: second year. He was drafted in fourth or fifth round 1083 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 1: a year ago. Karen Johnson, I think is an important 1084 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 1: part of what they do defensively on the offensive side 1085 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,799 Speaker 1: of the ball. They get great work from the guys 1086 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,359 Speaker 1: up front, but in particular, I think John Policiano has 1087 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,360 Speaker 1: been a really solid addition and kind of a leadership 1088 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,000 Speaker 1: guy on the offensive linefront. So those would be two 1089 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,600 Speaker 1: guys under the radar that you might want to keep 1090 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,880 Speaker 1: an eye on. John Murphy, Voice of the Bills with us, 1091 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,759 Speaker 1: what are the fans and Buffalo saying about Houston about 1092 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,399 Speaker 1: these Texans, well, you know, there's respect for what Houston's done. 1093 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,399 Speaker 1: What is it now for playoff appearances in the last 1094 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: six years, and there's respect for that. I think people 1095 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,960 Speaker 1: are aware of Deshaun Watson and aware of DeAndre Hopkins 1096 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,879 Speaker 1: and know that they are two big time playmaking guys. 1097 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 1: But the Bills are gonna have to shut down. But 1098 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't think there's fear about this game. I think 1099 00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 1: Bills fans and maybe the builds themselves will feel like 1100 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,360 Speaker 1: this is a credible matchup. This is a good matchup 1101 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 1: for the Bills. It's a break for the Bills who 1102 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,319 Speaker 1: have faced top ten defenses down the stretch. Last five games, 1103 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 1: all their opponents were top ten defenses. Now they get 1104 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of a break in that regard, and 1105 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 1: I think many of us are eager to see what 1106 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,239 Speaker 1: the offense looks like when they're not against a really 1107 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,920 Speaker 1: tough defense. So I think it's shapes up as a 1108 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,440 Speaker 1: very good matchup on both sides of the ball, and 1109 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 1: a matchup that the Bills and their fans are eager 1110 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 1: to get to. All Right, so you've seen Tennessee up close. 1111 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,000 Speaker 1: The Bills beat them and you played the Patriots twice. 1112 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,200 Speaker 1: So John, tell me when you think of that matchup 1113 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 1: in Foxborough, I know Tennessee is different now than when 1114 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 1: the Bills faced them. Yeah, and it was way back 1115 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 1: first weekend of October. And actually the Titans kicker miss 1116 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,880 Speaker 1: four field goals in that game in Nashville, so the 1117 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 1: Bills benefited from that. But they played them well and 1118 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 1: they shut them down well. And there was also the 1119 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans under Marcus Mariota Ryan Tannehill. I think they're 1120 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: different now under Tannehill. So to talk about the Bills 1121 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,319 Speaker 1: win against Tennessee would kind of be a little miss 1122 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,439 Speaker 1: league because they'll face them so long ago and they're 1123 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 1: a different team now playing much better. The Patriots are 1124 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 1: another story. The Bills know the Patriots very well. I 1125 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 1: think most Bills fans would love a chance for the 1126 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,480 Speaker 1: Bills to somehow get to play the Patriots again in 1127 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 1: the possibly the championship game. And I think you know 1128 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 1: the Bills have lost a couple of one score games 1129 00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 1: to the win the Patriots this year. That we know 1130 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,359 Speaker 1: the Patriots pretty well. We probably know them here as 1131 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,320 Speaker 1: well as almost the home team, and we've seen the 1132 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,920 Speaker 1: Patriots decline offensively. We've seen how they struggle to score points, 1133 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,040 Speaker 1: and I think many folks believe that they are very vulnerable. 1134 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 1: Right now, I think they'll probably get by Tennessee, but 1135 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:36,759 Speaker 1: after that, I don't know. When they have to hit 1136 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 1: the road especially, I think the Patriots are going to struggle. 1137 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: How did you slow down Baltimore, because even though the 1138 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: Bills lost the game, you held them to a relatively 1139 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 1: low point total and kept them in check for much 1140 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,040 Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, that's a good question. I think 1141 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,680 Speaker 1: what I mean, it's a solid Bills defense and has 1142 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 1: been really good all year long, and I think that's 1143 00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,640 Speaker 1: where it started. You know, they didn't allow them our 1144 00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 1: Jackson to hurt them too much. They were able to 1145 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,799 Speaker 1: contain him. He got a couple of yards on the ground, 1146 00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,440 Speaker 1: but nothing spectacular. And I think other than that, they 1147 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 1: just played their good, solid defense that didn't blitz much. 1148 00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: They never do. They just kind of line up and 1149 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 1: play defense and ask you to make a lot of plays. 1150 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: And the Ravens were unable to do that here in 1151 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:18,120 Speaker 1: Buffalo back then. So what's the feeling in Western New 1152 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,040 Speaker 1: York right now? John? With the fan base, the Bills mafia. 1153 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 1: And by the way, sub question to this, when did 1154 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 1: the Bills Mafia thing get started? Was this going on 1155 00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,840 Speaker 1: this kind of nickname during the Kelly era or is 1156 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 1: this a relatively recent thing. No, it's fairly it's fairly recent, 1157 00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: maybe in the last eight to ten years. I think 1158 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,320 Speaker 1: it was sort of a heading. I don't know. I 1159 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 1: think it was. Stevie Johnson might have something to do 1160 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 1: with it too. As a matter of fact, the former 1161 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,600 Speaker 1: Bills wide receiver was sort of a colorful figure. But 1162 00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,439 Speaker 1: yet started last eight years or so, and it's sort 1163 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 1: of game momentum. I think a couple of years ago, 1164 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 1: the Bill's Mafia was known for doing stupid things in 1165 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,680 Speaker 1: the parking lot before games, diving into tables and lightening 1166 00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,880 Speaker 1: the tables on fire, covering themselves and all sorts of 1167 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 1: ketchup and mustard. And now I think it's more of 1168 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: a movement where the fans are good, solid fans who 1169 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,719 Speaker 1: follow the team and support the team and really do 1170 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,080 Speaker 1: a good job on the road of supporting the team. 1171 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,320 Speaker 1: And I think there's going to be a contingent anyway, 1172 00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how big, but a contingent of some 1173 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,799 Speaker 1: Bill sans at this game on Saturday. You know, they 1174 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 1: do travel well. There have been several road games this 1175 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 1: year where by the end of the game with the 1176 00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 1: Bills on top, the Bill fans have outnumber the home 1177 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,279 Speaker 1: fans and they make enough rackets so that you can 1178 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,040 Speaker 1: tell the difference. So I don't know if that'll be 1179 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:33,640 Speaker 1: the case of the Saturday, but I do think they 1180 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,759 Speaker 1: travel well and there will be a size that will 1181 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,240 Speaker 1: continue to build fans in the stands at NRG Stadium 1182 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,239 Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon. All right, well, looking forward to the 1183 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 1: game very much and seeing you, my friend. Thanks a 1184 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,760 Speaker 1: lot of the time. We appreciate it, Mark my pleasure. 1185 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,240 Speaker 1: Thank you. Back at twenty fifteen, when I had gone 1186 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,799 Speaker 1: to the combine, and when the combine was back at 1187 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,000 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, they did it in the West club of 1188 00:55:55,239 --> 00:56:00,239 Speaker 1: Lucas Oil Stadium, So they stuffed everybody into like this 1189 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:05,759 Speaker 1: club area and then the radio stands. We're all outside that, 1190 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,040 Speaker 1: and there were only about eight to ten at the time, 1191 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,200 Speaker 1: and it just so happened that we were right next 1192 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,160 Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills, and so as there was kind 1193 00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,759 Speaker 1: of a slow moment, kind of struck up a conversation 1194 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:20,239 Speaker 1: with their sideline reporter salth Capaccio and found out we 1195 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 1: had a lot in common. We had both been football 1196 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 1: coaches in Florida, and we just talked for a long time, 1197 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,680 Speaker 1: got to be, you know, really tight and we have 1198 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,279 Speaker 1: continued friendship ever since.

That's correct. Clyde Simmons is 1230 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 1: a great football player way back in the day. So 1231 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,640 Speaker 1: you've done your homework. I've done a little bit of 1232 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 1: homework and it leads me to this. You talk about homework, 1233 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,840 Speaker 1: Jalil would die. He said some interesting things about you, 1234 00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 1: all very complimentary. But he said you're a minister. Is 1235 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,480 Speaker 1: this true? Oh yeah, I've been pursuing ministry for I 1236 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,800 Speaker 1: say about since I was about twelve. Right after college, 1237 00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 1: I was I was ordained if you will receive my 1238 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:32,120 Speaker 1: minister license. So I get to marry people and beat 1239 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 1: the word of God. But the most important thing is 1240 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 1: leading your teammate living right. And you know you're just 1241 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 1: showing and leading by example. But it's been an awesome experience. 1242 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,680 Speaker 1: I think I did my first surnament on Easter Sunday 1243 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,080 Speaker 1: of this year. I mean it was amazing. I compare 1244 00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,240 Speaker 1: it to my super Bowl that we want last year. 1245 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 1: It's better than the super Bowl, I think, my right. Yeah, Now, 1246 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,440 Speaker 1: where was the sir? Where did you do it? Back home? Actually? 1247 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,160 Speaker 1: The church I grew up in Chapel Grove. Back to church. 1248 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,480 Speaker 1: Family was there, friends was there. It was a pack 1249 00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,720 Speaker 1: house and God was in that movement. Man. Congratulations, that's 1250 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,880 Speaker 1: really cool thing. Cool life achievement. That's really awesome. Now 1251 00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 1: you mentioned that you've married some folks. Have you done 1252 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:11,320 Speaker 1: that yet or you're able to? Though? No? Yeah, I 1253 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 1: am so for those of you listening, if you need 1254 00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,480 Speaker 1: to get hitched. We've got keyon crossing here.

You're not just 1257 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,640 Speaker 1: gonna marry two random people. I mean, there's gonna be love, 1258 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a background there. Okay, so you're not 1259 00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 1: just strictly for hire. There are some some things in there. 1260 00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,560 Speaker 1: So speaking in public then is not too tough for 1261 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,040 Speaker 1: you if you're a minister, right, it's not at all, 1262 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 1: not at all, Like I said, it's it's almost like 1263 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 1: being yourself when you're in ministry. It's just you have 1264 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 1: a bigger purpose that you have to relate and it 1265 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 1: can't be opon eated. It has to be fact and truth, 1266 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 1: just like if you were you're talking to me now 1267 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,960 Speaker 1: in fact truth. Have a good time to do with you, 1268 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 1: you know you can do. So you're an NFL football player, 1269 00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,919 Speaker 1: that's a job, minister, that's a job. What was though, 1270 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: your first job of all time? Oh, take me back, 1271 00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 1: my first job of all time? I think I was 1272 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,640 Speaker 1: at Dollar General. Okay, what are you doing for that summer? 1273 01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,200 Speaker 1: I was I was packing boxes? Huh, I was unloading 1274 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,480 Speaker 1: you bolts? Oh, okay, like in the back of the 1275 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 1: docks and stuff. Oh man, so like every Wednesday, I 1276 01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,680 Speaker 1: thinking Friday, those trucks come in. Oh it's like, this 1277 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,320 Speaker 1: is not it. This is definitely not it. You knew 1278 01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,280 Speaker 1: then when you're what sixteen fifteen? Yep, yeah, you knew 1279 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,959 Speaker 1: then you did not want to pursue that career doubt. Okay, 1280 01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 1: that's a good first job. You learn many things, obviously, 1281 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,440 Speaker 1: what you do, what you don't like, which of your 1282 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:30,360 Speaker 1: teammates would make a great coach. Mike Adams how come. 1283 01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 1: Obviously he has a lot of experience within the league. 1284 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,840 Speaker 1: I think he's very patient when it comes to young players. Yeah, yeah, 1285 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,200 Speaker 1: I've tested his water is a little bit. How So 1286 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,479 Speaker 1: as an older player, you know, as a young player, 1287 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,480 Speaker 1: you can kind of be defying if you will. So 1288 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:45,800 Speaker 1: just just to try to see okay, yeah, I know, 1289 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,120 Speaker 1: I know type deal. You know, you try to know everything, 1290 01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 1: if you will. And he's like, uh, okay, let me 1291 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,920 Speaker 1: explain it to your young book, And I'm like, all right, 1292 01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: what you got for me? So yeah, I just I've 1293 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,480 Speaker 1: tested his waters a little bit. But he's done a 1294 01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,640 Speaker 1: great job of not only just being a great leader, 1295 01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,920 Speaker 1: but being a great teammate and great rolling model on 1296 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 1: and off the field, switching gears. What's an animal that 1297 01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,280 Speaker 1: when you're near it scares you? Man, you know from 1298 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 1: the country, So it's not too many animals that scares me, 1299 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:13,320 Speaker 1: I think obviously, like a lion terrifying music because it's 1300 01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,840 Speaker 1: fair enough. King of the Jungle a lot of undred 1301 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,240 Speaker 1: eighty hundred eighty five pounds, though his teeth and claw 1302 01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 1: like destroyed me. Right. So you're from the country. You 1303 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 1: grew up on the farm. There was a farm down 1304 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,040 Speaker 1: the street from my house. We kind of claimed it. 1305 01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:26,320 Speaker 1: You kind of stay it all for him if you will. 1306 01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, all the pigs and horses. I was actually 1307 01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 1: terrified of horses of ponies when I grew up. When 1308 01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 1: I was growing up, yeah, because I think their odd 1309 01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 1: was so big and always thought they was looking at me. 1310 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,919 Speaker 1: So I don't know, So do you? You still don't 1311 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 1: ride horses to this day or I've never ridden one, 1312 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:42,920 Speaker 1: act never ridden the horse. You know, you grew up 1313 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 1: near the farm, son of a gun. I grew up 1314 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:46,920 Speaker 1: in the city and a ridden horse many times. Wow, 1315 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 1: that's bad news for me, huh. I think you're doing okay? Yeah, 1316 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 1: I don't think you need to worry too much. I mean, 1317 01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,280 Speaker 1: you're a pro football player and you're a minister, right, 1318 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 1: you have many things going for you. What are some 1319 01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 1: of your nicknames? Oh Man, When I was growing up, 1320 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,000 Speaker 1: it's ironic, but they used to call me spider Man 1321 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,160 Speaker 1: because I was so athletic. But I actually moved to 1322 01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,080 Speaker 1: New Jersey and that nickname kind of carried and they 1323 01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,240 Speaker 1: called me spider Man too. Why were you in New 1324 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,800 Speaker 1: Jersey when was this? I was in Lena, say, fourth grade. 1325 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:13,880 Speaker 1: I was there for about a year or two. My 1326 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,960 Speaker 1: grandma lived up there, my parents and my mom moved 1327 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:18,880 Speaker 1: up and we just I guess they wanted to give 1328 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,400 Speaker 1: us the experience of the city life when it was 1329 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 1: not what I expected, and I definitely want to go 1330 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,400 Speaker 1: back to the country. Yeah. So um, yeah, they called 1331 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,680 Speaker 1: me spider man man for some reason. I guess. You know. 1332 01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,400 Speaker 1: I used to jump off stuff and flip man. I 1333 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:33,400 Speaker 1: could do a backflip off of you know, a table 1334 01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,120 Speaker 1: or whatever you want it. Can you still do a backflip? 1335 01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,280 Speaker 1: I still can. So when you score a touchdown, that 1336 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,000 Speaker 1: if because we're gonna say when without when you score 1337 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,880 Speaker 1: a touchdown for the Texans, are you going to backflip? 1338 01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 1: Can you do it in your pads and helmet? I 1339 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,440 Speaker 1: don't want to ge anybody hurt, but I just I'm wondering. 1340 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:49,960 Speaker 1: I think I can make it happen. I think I 1341 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,000 Speaker 1: can make it happen, right, But we have to have 1342 01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 1: a full crowd. It has to have a beat. It 1343 01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,440 Speaker 1: has to be a full fan base that's at the 1344 01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 1: game at home, home. Even if it's not at home, 1345 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,760 Speaker 1: it could be a way, but we need the Eights 1346 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 1: Town fans to be loaded, blocking, loaded in the building. Okay, 1347 01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,160 Speaker 1: so there might be or there there could be a 1348 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 1: backflip coming when you score a touchdown? Doubt. What's the 1349 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 1: best Christmas gift you ever received? You know? It's kind 1350 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 1: of crazy because every Christmas I've asked for a whistle, 1351 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 1: especially growing up. I don't know, I'll always like this 1352 01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,280 Speaker 1: sound of a whistle, like a referee whistle. Yeah, like okay, 1353 01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 1: box forty, I don't know. My dad always bought me 1354 01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 1: a Fox forty and when I was growing up, and 1355 01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:29,960 Speaker 1: that was the only gift I cared about. I had goal, 1356 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:31,640 Speaker 1: I had a I think the best gift I had 1357 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 1: was a motorcycle. Wow. Yeah, it was a Ninja motorcycle 1358 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,919 Speaker 1: and it was. I mean, I love that thing to death. Yeah, 1359 01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,480 Speaker 1: those things are fast. So you did you get a 1360 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 1: whistle this year? Did not? I think Santa Claus has 1361 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,080 Speaker 1: put me on his two old lists. Oh so all 1362 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,160 Speaker 1: your kids stay young out there, So that's interesting you're 1363 01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 1: innovating here, because I've heard of the Nice List, heard 1364 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:50,760 Speaker 1: of the Naughty List. I've never heard of the two 1365 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:52,840 Speaker 1: old lists. Yeah, but yeah, fair enough, some of the 1366 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,480 Speaker 1: adults might know about that. All right. What's your go 1367 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,440 Speaker 1: to karaoke song? You ever do karaoke? Oh? My goodness, 1368 01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 1: I think it will be lean on me. I think 1369 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:02,760 Speaker 1: it's a good one. Yeah. Would your career be if 1370 01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:04,480 Speaker 1: you were not a football player? I guess that's a 1371 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,280 Speaker 1: kind of an easy one, right, Yeah, I'll be kind 1372 01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,320 Speaker 1: of easy. I'll probably be a ministry ministry out if 1373 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:09,920 Speaker 1: I wasn't a minister, though we can take it a 1374 01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:11,439 Speaker 1: little to it. Yeah, what would you be doing? Because 1375 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 1: a lot of ministers do another job as well, or 1376 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,080 Speaker 1: have another job. I think I would be probably working 1377 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,880 Speaker 1: with some kind of motivational speaking organization. Yeah, I don't 1378 01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:21,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll probably be you know what, I 1379 01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,280 Speaker 1: probably would still be in college. Yeah, yeah, because still 1380 01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,800 Speaker 1: learning something. Well, yeah, I mean college is easy. You 1381 01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,640 Speaker 1: get free lunch, you know, free meals, have to worry 1382 01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:33,080 Speaker 1: about anything. You're good. Okay, you just mentioned something interesting 1383 01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 1: motivational speaking. If you had to mount rushmore or so, 1384 01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,520 Speaker 1: you had to put four faces on it, the guys 1385 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,080 Speaker 1: you think are the best or galas best motivational speakers 1386 01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:43,919 Speaker 1: you've ever encountered or seen? Who would be on it before? Oh? Man, 1387 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,840 Speaker 1: I think it'll be Inky Johnson. I'll definitely probably put 1388 01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 1: Ray Lewis on there. I think TD Jake's is good. 1389 01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,040 Speaker 1: That's three. Yeah, I need two more, but I don't. 1390 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:55,200 Speaker 1: It's hard to play something. You ever seen JJ Moses 1391 01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:57,720 Speaker 1: speak in public? You know what? JJ might be up there? 1392 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,400 Speaker 1: He's really really really over there. He's really good. He's 1393 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,320 Speaker 1: a people's person, you know what JJ MoES is definitely Okay. 1394 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,560 Speaker 1: When's the last time you cooked something?

It was a honey bun cake. 1397 01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,080 Speaker 1: Don't know about honey. I was gonna say, what is that? 1398 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 1: How can I explain it? It's pretty much a cake 1399 01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,960 Speaker 1: with like cinnamon, brown sugar. You know, I can't give 1400 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,120 Speaker 1: you all, guys, all my ingredients, but for the most part, 1401 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:27,960 Speaker 1: is a nice sugar down cake with some homemade icing. 1402 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,080 Speaker 1: Sounds delicious. Yeah yeah, I mean, if you're good, you 1403 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 1: can put some other flavors into it, like a strawberry, honey, 1404 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 1: plain cake or not bad. I'm sure yet. I'm sure 1405 01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,840 Speaker 1: there's none left. There's no leftover to that one, right yeah, 1406 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 1: this deal leftovers right now. It's only a couple of 1407 01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,840 Speaker 1: us in the house. Okay, so that's why. Y. Yeah, 1408 01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,160 Speaker 1: I gotta have a piece right now and again. But 1409 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,760 Speaker 1: I like it.

Lettuce, but 1415 01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,600 Speaker 1: it can't be iceberg lettuces. Gotta be some good qualified 1416 01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,840 Speaker 1: lettuce that has nutritional value. Some pickles, make sure they 1417 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,720 Speaker 1: deal pickles, and some nice cheese on it, condiments or anything. 1418 01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:15,400 Speaker 1: Or you can do catch up in mustard, catch him 1419 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,000 Speaker 1: in mustard or catch up in Mayo.

Yeah, 1424 01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,240 Speaker 1: I think I have to. When I was coming in 1425 01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,600 Speaker 1: the league, I always always liked it Tom Tom Brady. Yeah, 1426 01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:37,800 Speaker 1: I always like the Tom. And then you're his teammate. Yeah, 1427 01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,919 Speaker 1: so him every day in practice at work. Yeah, funny story. 1428 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:42,959 Speaker 1: When I first seeing him, I was like, oh gosh, 1429 01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,720 Speaker 1: look at this guy. He's very long.

I'm about ninety 1479 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:08,360 Speaker 1: seven point nine nine nine Right now, I'm gonna save 1480 01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 1: the extra two point one percent for the next couple 1481 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:14,800 Speaker 1: of days because I don't want to. I don't want 1482 01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 1: to get two hype too early. Actually, I heard a 1483 01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,439 Speaker 1: great cut from DMP's of all people, defensive coordinator for 1484 01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 1: the Titans, because he's been in this rodeo a lot, 1485 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 1: and he said, you don't want to you don't want 1486 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,559 Speaker 1: to get too hyped. You know, you prepare every week 1487 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,759 Speaker 1: for these games, and it's not like you can work harder. 1488 01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,599 Speaker 1: If you are working harder, well, why weren't you working 1489 01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,120 Speaker 1: this hard last week when everything was so crucial. So 1490 01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 1: it was a good point. He said he learned stuff 1491 01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:40,000 Speaker 1: from Belichick like that, and you just have to sort 1492 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:41,479 Speaker 1: of take it one day at a time, get ready 1493 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,400 Speaker 1: for the game. Now I am doing some extra work 1494 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,679 Speaker 1: for this game. There's no question about that. From our standpoint. 1495 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:48,320 Speaker 1: I think that's fine. I think for the players, you know, 1496 01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:50,559 Speaker 1: you have what you have, you have a short week 1497 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,280 Speaker 1: to get ready. But I'm totally pumped up for this thing. 1498 01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:56,000 Speaker 1: In fact, with each day that goes by, I'm thinking, oh, 1499 01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,720 Speaker 1: here we go playoffs. More and more, give it, give 1500 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,000 Speaker 1: it this is what we This is what we work 1501 01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,920 Speaker 1: all year for. As Bill Parcels would say, for the players, 1502 01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 1: this is what you left all them waits for. This 1503 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,080 Speaker 1: is what we strive for all year long to get 1504 01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 1: to these moments right here. And let's hope that we 1505 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:13,920 Speaker 1: have some really good ones on Saturday. Yeah, Buffalo comes 1506 01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,120 Speaker 1: in here with Josh Allen. I did this, Mark, and 1507 01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:20,439 Speaker 1: I'm you know, we've we've all had our first playoff 1508 01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:25,559 Speaker 1: game experience. The Buffalo Bills are gonna have theirs on Saturday. 1509 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:27,920 Speaker 1: And I know people say, wait a second, the Bills 1510 01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:32,920 Speaker 1: were in the playoffs two years ago. Well, okay, on 1511 01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:37,080 Speaker 1: the starting offense, of the starting of the starters you 1512 01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:41,479 Speaker 1: will see on Saturday for the Buffalo Bills. You know 1513 01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,959 Speaker 1: the answer to this, yes, how many of them started 1514 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,719 Speaker 1: in the playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in twenty 1515 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,120 Speaker 1: seventeen or eleven players on the field to start just 1516 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,280 Speaker 1: two years ago, just two years ago? How many offensive 1517 01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,800 Speaker 1: starters remaining? We know the quarterback is different, right, we 1518 01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,120 Speaker 1: know the running back is different. I don't know, but 1519 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,639 Speaker 1: you you enlighten me on this that there's only one starter, 1520 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:06,400 Speaker 1: one back from that team on the offensive side of 1521 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,320 Speaker 1: the football. One for Buffalo. There's one starter and that's 1522 01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,760 Speaker 1: Deon Dawkins, very very good offensive lineman. I'd really like 1523 01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:16,880 Speaker 1: Deon Dawkins out of Temple. They start Quinn Spain at guard. 1524 01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:18,840 Speaker 1: He's a free agent. He's new to the team this year. Now, 1525 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 1: he played tennis. He played for Tennessee, so we've seen 1526 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,479 Speaker 1: him before. Yeah, he was a guard for Tennessee, so 1527 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,040 Speaker 1: we've seen him before plenty of times. Mitch Morse came 1528 01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,639 Speaker 1: from Kansas City, played in the playoffs in Kansas City. 1529 01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:31,360 Speaker 1: John Feliciano has kind of bounced around though. That guard, 1530 01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:35,240 Speaker 1: center guard all brand new, Cody Ford right tackle, rookie 1531 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:40,040 Speaker 1: at Oklahoma. You've got ye Devin Singletary, but probably starting. 1532 01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,679 Speaker 1: He was at Florida Atlantic last year. He's a rookie. 1533 01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,920 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox tight end, He's a rookie. John Smoke Brown 1534 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:51,719 Speaker 1: signed as a free agent this year. Cole Beasley signed 1535 01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,960 Speaker 1: as a free agent this year. Josh Allen drafted last 1536 01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 1: year and he actually played here with this team. You're 1537 01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,040 Speaker 1: gonna even argue and I need to go back and 1538 01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 1: do this. The team for Buffalo, the offense that stepped 1539 01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,760 Speaker 1: in this building in twenty eighteen is even that much 1540 01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 1: different than it was the one that they're gonna face 1541 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 1: on Saturday. I could tell you prepping for this game, 1542 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 1: I'm thinking there are a bunch of guys that I 1543 01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:15,680 Speaker 1: really don't know, Yeah, based on last year's team. And 1544 01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:17,400 Speaker 1: then what about the defensive side of the ball from 1545 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,040 Speaker 1: the playoff game two years ago, because I would think, well, 1546 01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,519 Speaker 1: that defense was really good. A ton of guys must 1547 01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 1: be back from that years ago. How many four? That's 1548 01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 1: three of them. So you're saying, from the playoff team 1549 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,080 Speaker 1: that lost in that low scoring game at Jacksonville two 1550 01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:37,160 Speaker 1: years ago, you only have five starters that remained. That's incredible. 1551 01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:39,880 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott got that team to the 1552 01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,160 Speaker 1: playoffs and that was such a big story. They get 1553 01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:44,439 Speaker 1: to the playoffs the first time since ninety nine and 1554 01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:48,240 Speaker 1: the Music City Miracle that was the last playoff game 1555 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,360 Speaker 1: they had played, and they gotta and the Bills have 1556 01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:53,800 Speaker 1: got to go down to Miami, beat Miami and then 1557 01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:58,240 Speaker 1: have the Bengals beat the Ravens and it happens in 1558 01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,320 Speaker 1: miracle fashion. They've seen a lock room. Kyle Williams playing 1559 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,160 Speaker 1: in that game, gets to the playoffs for the first 1560 01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:06,599 Speaker 1: time in his long, storied career for the Buffalo Bills, 1561 01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 1: and they get into playoffs and then McDermott and being 1562 01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:15,280 Speaker 1: basically tore down that team they tore down. They looked 1563 01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:17,040 Speaker 1: at it and went, Okay, what can we save? Our 1564 01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:21,679 Speaker 1: foundation is our defense, our secondary, leave it alone, our front, 1565 01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:25,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes, leave that alone. But we're adding pieces all 1566 01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:28,360 Speaker 1: across the board, including that quarterback in Josh Allen. I 1567 01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,160 Speaker 1: got it strow for over three thousand and rush for 1568 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:33,000 Speaker 1: five hundred. But Mark, going back to my thought about experience, 1569 01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,519 Speaker 1: when you think back to just our jobs, just but 1570 01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:41,160 Speaker 1: we do first NFL playoff game versus going into a 1571 01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 1: playoff game, Now, how different was that for you? And 1572 01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,000 Speaker 1: how different do you think it is for Josh Allen 1573 01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,200 Speaker 1: going to his first playoff game? Well, my first NFL 1574 01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,719 Speaker 1: playoff game was on Westwood One back in two thousand 1575 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:54,000 Speaker 1: and one. It was the Baltimore Ravens visiting the Miami Dolphins, 1576 01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:55,880 Speaker 1: and I was doing it filling in for Howard David 1577 01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,640 Speaker 1: who couldn't make his red eye flight. And I was 1578 01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,880 Speaker 1: the backs stop. I was the backup. I was the 1579 01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:05,559 Speaker 1: just in case. It'll never happen, but just in case 1580 01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:08,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't make it, go ahead and do the game 1581 01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,200 Speaker 1: and how he dead her off from Westwood One called 1582 01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:12,600 Speaker 1: me at five in the morning. I was actually at 1583 01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,200 Speaker 1: a hotel in Roanoke, Virginia, just did a basketball game 1584 01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,960 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech in Miami, and he said, you're on, and 1585 01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay. And I actually had to hop through 1586 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:24,720 Speaker 1: Charlotte to get there, but I hopped and I got 1587 01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:27,160 Speaker 1: to the game in time, and I was able to 1588 01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:30,519 Speaker 1: do an NFL playoff game. Luckily for me, Johnny that day. Look, 1589 01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:32,400 Speaker 1: the prep time was very short. But I knew the 1590 01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:34,960 Speaker 1: Dolphins a little bit because I lived down there. And 1591 01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: the Ravens, you know, I knew them from being the Ravens. 1592 01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,800 Speaker 1: You know, they had just come off a Super Bowl season. 1593 01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:43,160 Speaker 1: They had the two Winnebagos up front to stop the run. 1594 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:46,599 Speaker 1: They had Sam Adams and Syracusa. I mean, those guys, 1595 01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:49,840 Speaker 1: but stands. The memory I have of that game is 1596 01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:53,320 Speaker 1: how huge those guys were right in the middle of 1597 01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,880 Speaker 1: that defense, Like they were like two vending machines, Like 1598 01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:00,120 Speaker 1: try to move the ball, guys, try to move the 1599 01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:03,360 Speaker 1: ball around these fellas. And there were just two RVs 1600 01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:05,720 Speaker 1: parked right there in front of your offensive line and 1601 01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:07,320 Speaker 1: you weren't going to go anywhere, and the rest of 1602 01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:09,040 Speaker 1: the defense just filled in, did the work, and it 1603 01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:11,760 Speaker 1: was an incredible thing to watch them operate. Really low 1604 01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,120 Speaker 1: scoring game. The game came to me. So there was 1605 01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:18,000 Speaker 1: nothing really weird that happened, No weird bounces or weird 1606 01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 1: NFL rules situations that I might have been caught up 1607 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:23,040 Speaker 1: in being a college announcer at the time with the 1608 01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:26,519 Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes. But so that that's not a fair example. 1609 01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,840 Speaker 1: The one here though, in twenty eleven, that one, because 1610 01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,080 Speaker 1: you know it's coming. You know it's coming, but get 1611 01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:34,320 Speaker 1: into playoffs and you know that game is coming and 1612 01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,360 Speaker 1: you're building up to it. It's gonna be on that Saturday. 1613 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:40,560 Speaker 1: The week took forever, from Monday through Friday took forever, 1614 01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:43,080 Speaker 1: and we had a lot of events that week, probably 1615 01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:44,640 Speaker 1: more than we have now in a different way. I 1616 01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:47,040 Speaker 1: don't know, there was it was a different time. We're 1617 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,599 Speaker 1: still kind of breaking into Houston, Texans YMCA, I think, 1618 01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:51,479 Speaker 1: so we had a big event there on Friday. I 1619 01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,320 Speaker 1: remember doing a couple of different things, and I'll tell 1620 01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:57,600 Speaker 1: you what. Coming into the Bowl on Friday, afternoon and 1621 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:01,640 Speaker 1: seeing the stadium decked out with the play off signage 1622 01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:06,040 Speaker 1: and everything. That was electric because I've never seen it before. 1623 01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:08,880 Speaker 1: Here you know, here we are. We're in the postseason 1624 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,200 Speaker 1: and our stadium is hosting a playoff game. It was 1625 01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:15,800 Speaker 1: so exciting. It was like going into Madison Square Garden 1626 01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,040 Speaker 1: when I saw Jimmy Page's double neck guitar and a 1627 01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:21,040 Speaker 1: guitar stand and the John Bottom kettle drums up there, 1628 01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,559 Speaker 1: the Zoso logo. It was that kind of feeling, I'm 1629 01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:27,240 Speaker 1: serious before everything starts there, it is all set up 1630 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,680 Speaker 1: so as you get into the game, as you as 1631 01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 1: it gets started, how are you, How are you dealing 1632 01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,320 Speaker 1: with your When did you kind of feel like you 1633 01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,719 Speaker 1: were I'd say normal, How when did you feel like, Okay, 1634 01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm good, like I'm settling, never good, never no no. 1635 01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:45,280 Speaker 1: I felt really great the whole time. But the whole thing, 1636 01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,400 Speaker 1: that first playoff game, the whole thing was a completely 1637 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:54,320 Speaker 1: elevated experience. Every call, every down just felt different to me. 1638 01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:58,120 Speaker 1: Every down felt bigger, every the beginning, the end, the 1639 01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:01,280 Speaker 1: in between, all of it felt rate and then you 1640 01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:03,040 Speaker 1: know you had late in the first half the watch. 1641 01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:06,160 Speaker 1: Pick six was unforgettable. Obviously, and I was so glad 1642 01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:09,439 Speaker 1: I got that call right because that was it was 1643 01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:12,320 Speaker 1: really you know, it happened so fast. Yeah, you know. 1644 01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:16,040 Speaker 1: I mean it's like whoa quarterbacks throwing the ball full 1645 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,360 Speaker 1: speed and all of a sudden, it like it's almost 1646 01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 1: like you're a camera and you're like, do you overshoot it? 1647 01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:23,280 Speaker 1: Do you overplay? Because you're you're expecting that ball to 1648 01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:25,439 Speaker 1: come out, you know, and you want to find out 1649 01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:27,559 Speaker 1: where it goes, but it doesn't go anywhere, and all 1650 01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Wat's running the other way. So I 1651 01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:32,240 Speaker 1: got it right, and it was really thrilling and I'll 1652 01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:35,040 Speaker 1: never forget that. And then the second half you had 1653 01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:38,120 Speaker 1: arians run and you had Andre Johnson touchdown, and it 1654 01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,880 Speaker 1: was all one big, wonderful day. It was great. It 1655 01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:44,000 Speaker 1: was great. Do you putting that on the field For 1656 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:47,200 Speaker 1: Josh Allen? It's his first playoffs start, He's doing it 1657 01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:49,599 Speaker 1: on the road, which I don't know if that makes 1658 01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:53,040 Speaker 1: it better or worse. I sometimes feel like, and you know, 1659 01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,160 Speaker 1: Bill's talked about that with us below, Brian's talked about 1660 01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:57,679 Speaker 1: that going on the road for us, Like are we're 1661 01:17:57,720 --> 01:17:59,880 Speaker 1: five and three in the road this year? Yeah? Five 1662 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,479 Speaker 1: three at home, five and three on the road that 1663 01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:03,920 Speaker 1: these guys do like going on the road for something, 1664 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:05,880 Speaker 1: well on the road, pretty well on the road. But 1665 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,960 Speaker 1: do you feel like Alan will have some of those 1666 01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:12,080 Speaker 1: same kind of nerves I mean when you're playing. I mean, 1667 01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:15,519 Speaker 1: obviously two different things. You're calling the game, he's a quarterback, 1668 01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:18,559 Speaker 1: but the same kind of feeling I think you probably 1669 01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:22,360 Speaker 1: both would have going into your first playoffs. Yeah, yeah, 1670 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,720 Speaker 1: that it's everything's gonna be huge. This crowd's gonna be 1671 01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,479 Speaker 1: out fire now. I think with the crowd, you know, look, 1672 01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,360 Speaker 1: this isn't two eleven where it's their first time either. 1673 01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,680 Speaker 1: You know, the crowd has been through it before, but 1674 01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:35,439 Speaker 1: they know how important it is to get up for 1675 01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 1: this thing. Now. They've been disappointed, they've been happy, they've 1676 01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:39,800 Speaker 1: been both right, they have they had the Chiefs thing 1677 01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:42,080 Speaker 1: happened to them in twenty fifteen. Oh that was my 1678 01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,599 Speaker 1: first right and that was that was an awful beginning, 1679 01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:47,519 Speaker 1: right because everybody's so fired up. I'll loathered up. You know, 1680 01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:49,400 Speaker 1: they had last year happened. We also had a win 1681 01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. In recent history, but I think getting 1682 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:54,800 Speaker 1: off to a good start. The Bills are a slow 1683 01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,240 Speaker 1: starting team. John Murphy said it. The Bills are a 1684 01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:00,360 Speaker 1: slow starting team. Let's see if you can get the 1685 01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,599 Speaker 1: quick start here, if you can get an early lead somehow, 1686 01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:07,519 Speaker 1: get the fans, get the onslought going with the noise, 1687 01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,719 Speaker 1: with the momentum. You know, I really think the Bills 1688 01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,200 Speaker 1: are so ugly, though sometimes not in a bad way, 1689 01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:16,639 Speaker 1: in a good football way. They'll ugly the game out. 1690 01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:18,599 Speaker 1: It's a it's a meat grinder all the way through. 1691 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:22,400 Speaker 1: They have only what six losses, and five of them 1692 01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,200 Speaker 1: are one score losses. So they've been in every game. 1693 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:26,960 Speaker 1: And when usually when you see and you know this, 1694 01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:29,000 Speaker 1: usually when you say a team is in every game, 1695 01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:30,639 Speaker 1: it's because they got a great quarterback and a high 1696 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,679 Speaker 1: flying offense. Not to take anything away from their offense, 1697 01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:34,920 Speaker 1: but they're in every game because they keep it to 1698 01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:38,080 Speaker 1: a grind, and you know you're gonna be in this. 1699 01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:40,920 Speaker 1: Luckily for the Texans, Johnny, this is what they are. 1700 01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,160 Speaker 1: They I mean, not all the time, but they can 1701 01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:45,360 Speaker 1: play this way. They can play grinders. They want a 1702 01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:46,960 Speaker 1: game at Tampa Bay like that, they want a game 1703 01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,160 Speaker 1: at Tennessee like that in recent weeks. So it's funny 1704 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,639 Speaker 1: because you and I were watching that Saints Texans game 1705 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 1: replay and that was not a grinder. That was a 1706 01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 1: high scoring shootout, and that I thought the year might 1707 01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,760 Speaker 1: be like that for this team. But more often than not, 1708 01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,320 Speaker 1: they've played games where they just had the fourth quarter 1709 01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:07,479 Speaker 1: and out. Man, just like make those plays on the 1710 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,599 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, both sides of the ball, all three phases. 1711 01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:11,720 Speaker 1: It's so interesting thinking back to that because at half 1712 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,160 Speaker 1: time I remember saying the saying the bill we were 1713 01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,720 Speaker 1: talking coming back on the field and I just said, 1714 01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:19,040 Speaker 1: you know what, you what you got to do in 1715 01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:20,840 Speaker 1: the second half, Like what's your what's your keen a 1716 01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,360 Speaker 1: second half? And used like we just score. He goes 1717 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:25,400 Speaker 1: he got to score touchdowns and he's giant. Look over 1718 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:27,040 Speaker 1: the other side of the field. You got your breezes, 1719 01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:29,240 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas came here. I mean, we got to score. 1720 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:33,080 Speaker 1: And they didn't score as much obviously because the Saints 1721 01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:35,360 Speaker 1: won the game, but they put up fourteen in the 1722 01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,720 Speaker 1: first half, fourteen and second half. But but he was right. 1723 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:41,000 Speaker 1: That was one of those games where it was it 1724 01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:44,840 Speaker 1: was a heavy weight I mean it was a heavyweight, 1725 01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 1: old school fifteen rounder, just lobbing haymakers at each other 1726 01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,160 Speaker 1: in that game, and they just happened to win the 1727 01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:55,200 Speaker 1: fifteenth round. I mean it was tied on rounds. It 1728 01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 1: was seventy each going into that last round, and we 1729 01:20:57,479 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 1: thought we had done it with round starteen and fourteen, 1730 01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:03,200 Speaker 1: and then they come back with that final salvo in 1731 01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:05,760 Speaker 1: the So tough to think about that, but it was 1732 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,200 Speaker 1: one of I mean, they were showing an NFL network 1733 01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 1: because one of the games the year. It's such a 1734 01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:14,400 Speaker 1: great game for the for the casual objective onlooker, for 1735 01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:16,559 Speaker 1: the Texans fan, it's a gut punch and I felt 1736 01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 1: it all over again because you have thirty seven seconds 1737 01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,800 Speaker 1: left and Breeze gets them in field goal range, long range. 1738 01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:23,920 Speaker 1: But they made the field goal and that's it. But anyway, 1739 01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:26,320 Speaker 1: that was the opening night game. I think as far 1740 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,600 Speaker 1: as this game goes, I see it kind of like 1741 01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:32,040 Speaker 1: one of those fourth quarter it's close, gotta make some 1742 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:36,080 Speaker 1: plays and just eke it out. Maybe. Yeah, Like I 1743 01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:38,320 Speaker 1: used the word grind a lot, I just think it 1744 01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:40,160 Speaker 1: might be that kind of game. Look, I'd love it 1745 01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:41,880 Speaker 1: to be a three touchdown victory, don't get me wrong, 1746 01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:43,840 Speaker 1: and I'm hoping that's the case. But you know, we've 1747 01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:46,439 Speaker 1: seen this movie and I think that's that's the film 1748 01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:48,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna get. We're gonna get a close, low scoring game, 1749 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:50,400 Speaker 1: and the Texans have to find a way to make 1750 01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:53,240 Speaker 1: those clutch fourth quarter plays to win. They've won close games. 1751 01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,439 Speaker 1: When they've lost, it's been close. They had one plow 1752 01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:58,400 Speaker 1: out a few with this, but they lost by eighteen 1753 01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,320 Speaker 1: the Philly at home. That was it. But their games 1754 01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 1: have been close. Yeah, the game last year here was close. 1755 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:06,960 Speaker 1: I mean the Texans ended up winning by seven. Probably 1756 01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:08,439 Speaker 1: got a cover out of that, but they end up 1757 01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 1: winning by seven, but they had they needed the jjoe 1758 01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:14,160 Speaker 1: pick after that. What do you think the value of 1759 01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:16,880 Speaker 1: ninety nine stepping on that field is. I think it's 1760 01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:18,880 Speaker 1: it's great for the crowd. I think it's great for 1761 01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:21,400 Speaker 1: the team. I don't know how much he'll get as 1762 01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,160 Speaker 1: far as snaps, but I think whatever you get out 1763 01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:26,639 Speaker 1: of them is a huge plus. And let's just ride 1764 01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,560 Speaker 1: with it, you know. I think for this game, you know, 1765 01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,800 Speaker 1: this is a tackling game, right, this is a game 1766 01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,400 Speaker 1: where it's a tackling game. It's a hitting in the 1767 01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:37,000 Speaker 1: secondary game. I love that you have guys like Jonathan 1768 01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:39,160 Speaker 1: Joseph on this team who have been there before. Who's 1769 01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:41,559 Speaker 1: you know. Listen, you got to send a message every time. 1770 01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:44,120 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying be illegal about it, but you 1771 01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,880 Speaker 1: gotta make everybody feel every hit because that's what they're 1772 01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,000 Speaker 1: gonna be doing to you, you know. So let's go 1773 01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:51,479 Speaker 1: on defense and make that happen. But I think what 1774 01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:55,360 Speaker 1: on the field, they'd be idiots if they don't, if 1775 01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:58,360 Speaker 1: they don't pay extra attention to them. And for the 1776 01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:01,800 Speaker 1: Texans that means extra oportunities maybe for Whitney Merciless or 1777 01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:04,080 Speaker 1: Charles Amna who or whoever else might be rushing the 1778 01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:06,560 Speaker 1: passer and and maybe you can get to them in 1779 01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,000 Speaker 1: those situations, but you better start with stopping them run. 1780 01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,680 Speaker 1: Frank Gore is a heavy runner. You got Singletary, like 1781 01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,960 Speaker 1: you said, by the way, FAU had Buddy Hall and him, Wow, 1782 01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:19,799 Speaker 1: pretty good a good backfield f Singletary. I think Buddy's 1783 01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:25,960 Speaker 1: last year was twenty seventeen. Right that year, Devin Singletary 1784 01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:28,760 Speaker 1: had thirty two rushing touchdowns. Well, let me tell you something. 1785 01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,679 Speaker 1: That's why the Hurricanes are no good anymore because these 1786 01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:35,280 Speaker 1: schools like FAU f i U South Florida is better 1787 01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,479 Speaker 1: than they were they were around y f i U 1788 01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 1: n f A weren't even around when I was there. Okay, 1789 01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:43,479 Speaker 1: as far as program, I mean that does it just 1790 01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:46,120 Speaker 1: really CEF. It just sort of sort of ramped it up. 1791 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:50,320 Speaker 1: You take one or two players away from If each 1792 01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:52,599 Speaker 1: of those schools just takes a guy or two away 1793 01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,160 Speaker 1: from the Hurricanes, well there you have it. Yeah, that's 1794 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 1: your deficit right there. Never mind the other big timers, 1795 01:23:57,680 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 1: uh coming in and recruiting, Yeah, no doubt, and they have. 1796 01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,040 Speaker 1: And that's when the thing. Teams have been going in 1797 01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,519 Speaker 1: there and recruiting and getting those players. And if the 1798 01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:08,760 Speaker 1: Keynes can get those players to stay home, then you 1799 01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:10,479 Speaker 1: got an opportunity for the Kenes to build it back 1800 01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,519 Speaker 1: up in the ACC. But I gotta get him to 1801 01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:14,200 Speaker 1: stay home, and that hasn't been happening when they have 1802 01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,120 Speaker 1: stayed at home. You're right, they're going to fau Fu. 1803 01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 1: I remember getting a recruiting letter from UCF when I 1804 01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:22,200 Speaker 1: was coaching at Episcopal and I remember getting a letter 1805 01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:26,080 Speaker 1: from UCF, and I went, this could change things. Yeah, 1806 01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:28,960 Speaker 1: this could really change things because if you start giving 1807 01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 1: options beyond the big three in Florida, this boy, this 1808 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 1: could really be interesting. And UCF has turned into that program. 1809 01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 1: Uh in Central Florida. There that's been really good. USF 1810 01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:41,560 Speaker 1: has had a few years that have been good. But 1811 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,840 Speaker 1: fau F, I you giving kind of the when the 1812 01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,080 Speaker 1: big three says no to you. But you could still 1813 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:51,080 Speaker 1: stay home and develop as Singletary did. Well, it's not 1814 01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,800 Speaker 1: that's not a bad option to have. He's gonna be man. 1815 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:55,400 Speaker 1: He'll make you missing a phone booth. Now, if you 1816 01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:58,040 Speaker 1: wonder what a phone booth is, boys and girls, Uh, 1817 01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:00,120 Speaker 1: there used to be this booth where you would go 1818 01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,160 Speaker 1: in and make a phone call because we didn't have 1819 01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,320 Speaker 1: cell phones. You drop a quarter and a quarter is 1820 01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,519 Speaker 1: this little well, y'all know what a quarter is? Quarter is? 1821 01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,720 Speaker 1: Does anybody know what a quarter is anymore? Do you 1822 01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:13,559 Speaker 1: know what it is? Do they handle money? But sooner 1823 01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:16,200 Speaker 1: or later they won't. I mean, you're right, you're right. 1824 01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:18,680 Speaker 1: It'll be a catch list society. That's where they want 1825 01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,280 Speaker 1: to go with it. But you're right. The phone booth, 1826 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:22,519 Speaker 1: the pay phones, they're not around. So who do you 1827 01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,599 Speaker 1: announce first? Offense? Or who do you announce on Saturday? 1828 01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:31,400 Speaker 1: Offense or defense? You know, defense went defense went first. 1829 01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 1: It starts over, it starts over. You don't have to 1830 01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:35,840 Speaker 1: you don't have to go buy you know what order 1831 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,960 Speaker 1: you've been in, because I think either way defense, if 1832 01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:40,960 Speaker 1: you go Watt out of the tunnel last or Watson 1833 01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,280 Speaker 1: out of the tunnel last, everyone's gonna go nuts. You know, 1834 01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:47,200 Speaker 1: Watson Hopkins go out last. Yeah, I mean Hopkins Hopkins 1835 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:50,280 Speaker 1: maybe the last one. People will go nuts. It's the playoffs. 1836 01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:54,080 Speaker 1: I go defense, I play play on the ethos that 1837 01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:57,200 Speaker 1: building and last. That might be all you get it now, 1838 01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, but what if that is well, I 1839 01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:04,880 Speaker 1: mean for for twenty nineteen. Unless Tennessee, unless Tennessee wins 1840 01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:06,680 Speaker 1: the two games, you won't have another game here in 1841 01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,280 Speaker 1: twenty the twenty nineteen season. So let it all go, 1842 01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,360 Speaker 1: Let it all hang out, hang out, let walk come 1843 01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,280 Speaker 1: Lenning out that tunnel at that crowd, just go absolutely berserk. Yeah, 1844 01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:19,280 Speaker 1: they will go nuts. Then deffer and then get them 1845 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,800 Speaker 1: a three and out and you score seven. It won't 1846 01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:24,400 Speaker 1: be ball game, That's the thing. No matter what you 1847 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:27,360 Speaker 1: do against this team, it will not be because they're 1848 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:30,640 Speaker 1: used so much adversity and they fight through it. And 1849 01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:32,680 Speaker 1: I mean it should have been last year when we 1850 01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,120 Speaker 1: played them, we go up. I think tend nothing on them, 1851 01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:38,800 Speaker 1: early think about to score again, shop through interception, Jordan 1852 01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,360 Speaker 1: Poyer floating the back, caught one in the end zone 1853 01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,960 Speaker 1: and that changed the whole game from that point, He's 1854 01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:46,160 Speaker 1: the whole game. All of a sudden, they believed they 1855 01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:48,320 Speaker 1: were in it. That's what you cannot allow them to 1856 01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:50,880 Speaker 1: do on Saturday. Mark appreciate it. Thanks, and that's gonna 1857 01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:53,719 Speaker 1: do it for tonight's show. A big thanks to Mark, 1858 01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,840 Speaker 1: to John Murphy of the Buffalo Bills, to DJ Reader, 1859 01:26:56,880 --> 01:27:00,840 Speaker 1: to Dpcity, to Keyon Crossing, my man Clint Sterner, of 1860 01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:05,280 Speaker 1: course all of you for listening.
