00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens as they come into NRG Stadium

Speaker 1: of my favorite people in this entire organization. He is outstanding.

45
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: I then predict every single NFL game for the rest

46
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: of the weekend, straight up and against the spread. I'm

47
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: not Stufiner or one of these gambling guys, but I

48
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: just like to I like to challenge myself against the spread,

49
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: but I pick them straight up and against the spread.

50
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: And then in our final segment, we'll close it down

51
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: with Drew's Final Word with David Johnson. So we'll have

52
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: a few minutes with the Texans running back in his

53
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: first year after coming over from the Arizona Cardinal. So

54
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: we have a jam packed show. So let's kick it

55
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: off with some hot reads and on a Friday, that

56
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: means we start the show with the head coach of

57
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: your Houston Texans, Bill O'Brien, who spend a few minutes

58
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: talking with Mark Vanimer. Coach. Let's talk about the home

59
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: environment It's unique this week because you could actually get

60
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: ready for it, no exactly what you're getting into before

61
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: it happens. You don't have to wait for seventy thousand

62
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: people to show up. It's kind of a strange deal. Yeah,

63
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: it's different, definitely different. We'll practice in the stadium today

64
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously in front of no fans, and

65
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: we've done that throughout training camp. You know, look, our

66
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: guys they know that the biggest thing is what happens

67
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 1: between the lines. We'd love to have our fans there.

68
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: We know that our fans are behind us and give

69
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: us a great advantage. But you know, relative to what's

70
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: going on in the world right now, we're ready for

71
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: this and our guys are excited about just the opportunity

72
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: of playing the Ravens. Let's talk about their front seven

73
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: a little bit and how difficult it is to block them.

74
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: How do they like to come after the opponent? What

75
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: are you expecting? Yeah, they loaded up. I mean, they

76
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: do a good job. I think the big thing for

77
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: us is we've got to stay on schedule. I mean,

78
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: I think if you get in third and ten and

79
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: you get in third and twelve, I mean, it's gonna

80
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: be a long day. So first and second down, positive

81
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: yards are going to be very, very important in the

82
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: game because if you can keep it in a manageable

83
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: third down, you've got a shop. But once you get

84
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: into these long yards situations and they start dialing up

85
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: a lot of those pressures that they have, you know,

86
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long day. So we've worked hard

87
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: on it, we feel good about it, and now we

88
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: got to go do it. I know you've talked about

89
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: the importance of the lack of penalties. Clearly turnover as always,

90
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: but playing clean in the penalty department is crucial, right, Yeah,

91
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: we have to play clean. I mean, if you look

92
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: at the games on the first week of the NFL season,

93
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: the teams that won the penalty battle and won the

94
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: turnover battle, those teams won eighty five percent of the games.

95
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we've we've got to play a clean game,

96
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: take care of the ball, you know, really try hard

97
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: to get some takeaways, and then you know, really cut

98
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: down on the line of scrimmage penalties, the penalties that

99
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: we can control. You know, there's certain penalties that happen

100
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: when the ball snap, they're gonna get called. But if

101
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: we can just control the line of scrimmage penalties, that'll

102
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: be a big deal for us. All right, what about

103
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: defending against Lamar Jackson. Earlier in the week, we talked

104
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: about how you might impersonate him in practice, and I

105
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: know the attack they have is varied. Right, you have

106
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: to worry about the running game. You have to worry

107
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: about the passing game with a lot of teams, but

108
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: with the quarterback in particular in this case. Yeah, he's

109
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: a very dynamic player. He you know, obviously he's got

110
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: great speed, he's got really good change of direction, and

111
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: then he can throw the ball. So you know, we've

112
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: got to really play great team defense. We have to

113
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: get a eleven guys to the ball. We have to

114
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: really swarm the ball. Uh. Look, he's gonna make some plays.

115
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: You're not gonna totally uh, you know, control Lamar Jackson.

116
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: He's a great football player. But if we can play

117
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: good team defense, get eleven guys to the ball on

118
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: every play and that that'll be good for us. Last

119
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: week you talked about miss tackles. It's a brand new week,

120
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: and do you feel like having a game under your

121
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: belt is really going to help in that department? As

122
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: you play in week two. I think it will. I

123
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: mean I think, look, I you know, no excuse. I

124
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: mean that you know, the Chiefs obviously they tackle better

125
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: than us, and they did a better job. But we we,

126
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: I believe, have had a good week. We've got a

127
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: physical week. Um, and I think our guys understand, you know,

128
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: better about the speed of the game, and they'll they'll

129
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: be ready to go there. They're here at home, they

130
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: know how important home field is and and uh, you know,

131
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,119
Speaker 1: they'll be ready to go. What about the special teams

132
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: facet in this one, coach, Yeah, big part of the game.

133
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean they have good special teams. We have good

134
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: special teams. I think field position will be really really important.

135
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: I think that you've got to be ready for anything.

136
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: With their special teams, they'll they'll fake a punt on

137
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: their own ten yard line. I mean, you've got to

138
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: be ready for anything. And they do a really good job.

139
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: We do a good job. So that'll be a really

140
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: really important part of the game. Coach, thanks a lot

141
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: for joining us, Good luck, Thanks Fanny. Yeah, coach remembers

142
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Now, I wasn't backed up on their ten

143
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: yard line, but it was against the Texans, Sam Cook

144
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: finding Chris Moore down the sideline. That was a game

145
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: that the texansnous. They hadn't under control, but the Texans

146
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: had gone down on a seven to nothing lead on

147
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: Monday night football against the Ravens and doing a really

148
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: nice job that night. And then fourth and man, it

149
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: was fourth and five, fourth and seven. Sam Cook took

150
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: a snap, threw it down the field to Chris Moore,

151
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: caught it, got inside to ten. Ravens scored a little

152
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: while later and took control of that Monday night game.

153
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: The Texans kept it close and had opportunities, but could

154
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: never overcome that big momentum swinging fake punt just change

155
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: from that point four. So yeah, coach is absolutely right.

156
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: This thing could change on a dime with a special

157
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: team's play, and it changed last week for the Ravens.

158
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: Last week, the Browns try to run a fake punt

159
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: and didn't get close and got it stopped. That gave

160
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: the ball back to the Ravens short field went on

161
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: in and scored and took a lead and stayed in

162
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: front of the Browns the whole way through. So special

163
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: teams a big one. But we'll hit a little bit

164
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: more of that during our Keys to the Game later

165
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: in the show. Now our next hot read, let's go

166
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: to the injury report. Now week one at Kansas City,

167
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: we sort of held our breath trying to figure out

168
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: what was gonna happen with Brandon Cooks. He eventually played,

169
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: He was questionable. He was really the one guy we

170
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: didn't know at that point was going to play or not.

171
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: It worked him out before the game and he spoke

172
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: with the staff, spoke with the medical staff, and spoke

173
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: with Jack Eastern be game thumbs up, Let's go. Brandon

174
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: Cooks played in the game. Now for this week, Brandy

175
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: Cooks is questionable again. He was asked on Monday how

176
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: he's feeling. He said he was feeling a little bit better.

177
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: So my hope is that Brandy Cooks is gonna play,

178
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: but he is questionable. Also questionable Titus Howard. Hopefully Titus

179
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be able to go. Peter Calumby's questionable. Now

180
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: we've seen this before where a guy pops up, haven't

181
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: been on injury report forever? Then he pops up as limited.

182
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: You go, whoa wait a second, does that mean that

183
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: something happened that day? I hope that's not the case,

184
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: but Peter is also questionable for this one against the Ravens. Now.

185
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: The other player that we've been asked a lot about

186
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: is Duke Johnson. Hurt that ankle in the game against

187
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the third quarter on a run up

188
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: the middle and came out of the game a couple

189
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: of plays later, went to the locker room and he

190
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: had that ankle injury. I've seen him throughout the week

191
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: at practice and I don't I don't know what to

192
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: think about it. He is listened as questionable and he

193
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: did not participate in practice today. He is I'm sorry,

194
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: he limited. He was a limited participant in practice today,

195
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: So I don't know how to take it. I don't

196
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: know exactly what to think about Duke for this game now.

197
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: Will Fuller was a DNP at practice today, was not

198
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: injury related. He had not been on the injury report

199
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: at all up until today, showing that he was not

200
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: injury related. But his game status is He's good to go.

201
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: JJ Watt, Congillespia, Jonathan Grennard. They're all ready to go.

202
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: They're not listed as doubtful, questionable are out, so they're

203
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: in even though they showed up an injury report they're

204
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: in now. The Ravens have two players that are out.

205
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: The aforementioned Chris Moore deal with a finger injury. He

206
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: is out one of the wide receivers. And then Justin

207
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: matter bk the rookie from Texas A and M is

208
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: out with a knee injury. Pernell McFee did not participate

209
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: in practice today, not injury related, but his game status

210
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: is that he's in now. Questionable for the Ravens are

211
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith, Justice Hill, the running back, and Ronnie Stanley,

212
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: the tackle, the All Pro tackle for Baltimore. I would

213
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: imagine that Stanley will play. We'll see about Smith and Hill.

214
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: They've been kind of ramping up both, essentially all three

215
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: of them all week. But Jimmy, excuse me, Jimmy Smith,

216
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: the longtime corner there who is kind of one of

217
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: their backup guys. Now he was limited with a hip issue.

218
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: But Justice Hill and right Stanleill we're full participants in practice.

219
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: They're listed as questionable, so we'll see what the active

220
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: and inactive report is an hour and a half before

221
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: the game. My guy just kind of based on what

222
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: we've read, I mean, and Rapp report is basically said,

223
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: just he's got it from people that do probably will

224
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: not play in this game, which makes it kind of

225
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: interesting at running back. Now, Gilly is he looks like

226
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: he is in for this game. Now we'll see if

227
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: he's active, and I would think that he is. How

228
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: does that play in how much they spelled David Johnson?

229
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: And if they spelled David Johnson, who do they spell

230
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: him with? If it's not Duke Johnson? Does that mean

231
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: Scottie Phillips? Does that mean Buddy how? What did they

232
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: do behind David Johnson? If Duke Johnson is not available,

233
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: That's gonna be really interesting because neither Buddy how or

234
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: Scottie Phillips or Colin Gillespia, any of the guys that

235
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: could play next to Deshaun Watson, have ever carried the

236
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: ball in an NFL regular season game. Phillips is a rookie,

237
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: Buddy's not had a carry since he's been here with

238
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: the Texans in a regular season game. And I take

239
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: it back he did. I think it was Week seventeen

240
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: last year. I think he maybe got some carries, but

241
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: that's been it. And then Gilly, he's not carried the

242
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: ball in a regular season game either, So I take

243
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: it back. I think Buddy did have some week seventeen

244
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: carriers last year against the Titans did a couple of

245
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: good things. But there's still a lot of experience behind David,

246
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: so I am a little worried about that. But JJ

247
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: Watt in Congilaspia, John Gunnard and Will Fuller in We'll

248
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: keep an eye on Brandy Cooks, Tis Howard and Duke Johnson.

249
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: Peter Comby all questionable. All right, now do it for

346
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: Slant Podcast Deep Slant Interview brought to you by Exfinity

347
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: is a young man in his third year with the Texans.

348
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: He I thought looked phenomenal against the Chiefs. I think

349
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: he was one of the one of the few positives

350
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: that the Texans had in that game, and it was

351
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakins tight end. From the day of you, from

352
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: the days that UCF he has been a receiver, slash blocker,

353
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: will do anything he has asked to do, and he

354
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: has made his impact on this team slowly but surely,

355
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: year after year after year. And he showed that against

356
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. He had just two catches, but one of

357
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: them went for a touchdown and I think he will

358
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: be vital in this game against the Baltimore Ravens. He's

359
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: sort of the comparison, not comparison, but he's sort of

360
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: the Mark Andrews for the Texans. He has to be

361
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: that guy. He has to be the outlet for Deshaun Watson,

362
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: and I hope that Deshaun continues to use Jordan Aikins

363
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: in the passing game as much as possible. Deepcited had

364
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with Big Number eighty eight

365
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: in our Deep Interview of the Week brought to you

366
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: by Exfinity Week one. Obviously, not the win that the

367
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: Texans wanted, but you got your first touchdown, so you're

368
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: on your way this year. Can you tell me what

369
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: it was like just getting that first game under your belt.

370
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: It was such a crazy and unusual offseason. But to

371
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: actually get back on the field with your teammates and

372
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: play real football, how did that feel for you? Well?

373
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: I felt good, you know, to just release it and

374
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, get out there and play my teammates and

375
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: just give us at opportunity to see who can do

376
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: what you know in question situations and the time of need.

377
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: So you know, we have some things we need to

378
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: work on and you know, with the first touchdown, it's

379
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: not the way I wanted it to be, but you know,

380
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: I take it as they come. Well, Bill O'Brien was

381
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: asked about you, and he said that you're always going

382
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: to be in the lineup as long as you're healthy.

383
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: That you've gotten better in all areas of special teams,

384
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: on offense, on your route running. You're really strong runner

385
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: with the ball in your hands. You've come such a

386
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: long way from your rookie season. When do you feel

387
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: like everything really just started to click for you? I

388
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: would say last year. Last year, you know, the game

389
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: slowed up a lot for me. This year it sled

390
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: up even more. You know, I was being more of

391
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: a student to the game mentally preparing. You know, I

392
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: was really wearing my body down the previous years, just

393
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, do what I can to be

394
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: on the field. But this year has as you know,

395
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: got my mentor ready and work on my body, had

396
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: a little extra time due to COVID, and you know

397
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: came in feeling good and playing good. Yeah, you look good.

398
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: Last year you missed the two postseason contests with injury.

399
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: So let's start there. How how is your off season

400
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: and just getting back to health again. What did you

401
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: have to do to get yourself feeling just eating better?

402
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: You know, um, watching what I do, especially like in

403
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: the weight room. I did a lot of run in

404
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: previous years, you know, I would run a lot and

405
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: do a lot of lower body lives heavy and you know,

406
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't think I meshed it up well with the treatment.

407
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: I would say, um, you know, taking care of the body,

408
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, getting the massages that I needed, and you know,

409
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: getting off my feet at times. You know, my father,

410
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: So you know I do a lot of rep and

411
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: run and so this year I just took a lot

412
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: of consideration, and you know, thanks to COVID. You know,

413
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't wish COVID on anyone, but um, you know,

414
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: it gave me a lot of time to just think

415
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: and mentally prepare for the game as well as take

416
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: care of my body. Yeah. I remember in the off

417
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: season you said that you really wanted to reach out

418
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: to veterans and get a better understanding of the game.

419
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: Who did you talk to. What are some of the

420
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: questions that entering into year three that that you really

421
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: wanted to get answered, or you know, where was it

422
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: that you really wanted to pick the brains the most

423
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: of these veterans that you talked to, just how they think,

424
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, as far as on the field, and how

425
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: do they prepare? What do you do to your body?

426
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: You know, how do you last a full season? And

427
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, just really pick their brains of like football

428
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: lagged questions. I can't really go into detail, but it

429
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: just taught me. They taught me a lot, you know,

430
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: And I always play like on edge. Previous years, I

431
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: was overthinking. I was trying to do too much, you know,

432
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: instead of just letting the game come to me. So

433
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: this year, you know, they taught me a lot. So

434
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: I matured mentally on the field and you know, like

435
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: I said, my talents to be for itself and no

436
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: two and teams coming together and it's starting to show.

437
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: It seems like you've come a long way. What I mean,

438
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: it was just a few years ago that you made

439
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: your NFL debut. It was Week one at Gillette Stadium

440
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. When you look back at your rookie self,

441
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you remember about going through that

442
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: first NFL experience and what was going through your brain

443
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: at that time? Just how fast the game. The game

444
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,479
Speaker 1: is in NFL, you know, and in college is it's different.

445
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: Everyone's faster in the NFL, everyone's smart. Um, So you

446
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: know in college you can either you can be faster,

447
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: you can be smart. You know what I'm saying. Uh,

448
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, some talent is going to show out, show

449
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: up on the field, you kind of have an advantage

450
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: on them in college. In NFL you have to be

451
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: on your game, you know, have to know certain rules

452
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: when you're hot, when you're not, you know, and just

453
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: a competition overall. I love competing and when everyone's on

454
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: the same accord and when the offense rolling, it's a

455
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. Yeah, you line up all over the field.

456
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: Was do you think that was the hardest part about

457
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: adjusting to this offense? Um? Just getting to know your

458
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: position and everything that's required of it. Uh, definitely. Um.

459
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: As a rookie when I came in, it was kind

460
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: of like just thrown into the hot fire and you know,

461
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: seeing what you can do. Which I didn't make some mistakes,

462
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: but you know, um I did. I did a decent

463
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: job for a rookie coming in and you know, over

464
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: the years, Uh, just moving me more, you know, learning more,

465
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: positions and just being able to be used as a

466
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: weapon in many ways is a big blessing and opportunity.

467
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: All Right, you said you're a father now, so I

468
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: assume that you had a you recently had a baby

469
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: or no, no, you're about to have another one though, right, yeah, yeah,

470
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: my first daughter she's three. About it before and we

471
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: were born to be born next month. Oh, so you're

472
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: about to be the father of two. It's about it's

473
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: about to double up in the Aikin's household hunt definitely.

474
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: How is how is parenthood when you're playing in the NFL?

475
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you played baseball a while back. I

476
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: don't think that you would have kids when you're playing baseball,

477
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,239
Speaker 1: But balancing kids in the NFL, I mean, what does

478
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: that like for you? It's difference, a lot of sacrifices.

479
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, you don't get to spend as much time

480
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: as you would like to, and you know, some of

481
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: the things they want to do you can't really do

482
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: because you have to be up earlier. You know, it

483
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: just it just balanced. But in the end it bounced

484
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: itself out. You know, offseason you spend a lot of

485
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: time with it and um, you know, just try to do.

486
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: I just try to be the best father I can be.

487
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: But I know, for right now, while she's young, it's

488
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: best to, you know, make those sacrifices. And you know,

489
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: when she's older and she really realized what's going on.

490
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: So does your three year old know that dad is

491
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: a tight end for the Texans? Does she see you

492
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: on the on the TV and recognize you? Understand that

493
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: she does. She get frustrated when I don't take my

494
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: helmet off on the field. She wants me to take

495
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: my helmet off so she can really notice me. But

496
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: as far as like playing for the Texans and all that,

497
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: she she doesn't really know all that. I would say

498
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: she really just focused on football. She knows that father's

499
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: a football player. I saw recently on your Instagram you

500
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: posted something and the caption said highly slept on And

501
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: I thought that was really interesting. Did did you feel

502
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: like people were sleeping on you a little bit? Uh? Yeah,

503
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: I do. It's a lot of you know, I mean

504
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: as far as that go, like I know my talent,

505
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: I know my goals where I want to go and

506
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: doing this game, and I just think I just thought,

507
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, I was kind of undappreciated and you know

508
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: in certain category worries. But you know, I just let

509
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: my talents be for self. I'm not a big talker

510
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm just hitting play ball and win game.

511
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: Your chemistry with Deshaun Watson seems to come a long

512
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: way too. Just in a few years that you guys

513
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: have been together. You worked a little bit on that

514
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: in this offseason two, didn't you. You and Deshaun worked

515
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: out a little bit. You know what what has gone

516
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: into really developing that chemistry with Deshaun just getting some

517
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: routes and throws also feel and um, you know, just

518
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: really uh you know, just getting that chemistry. Um, it's

519
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: just not about throwing, and it's about you know, having

520
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: that connection with the guys well you know, and just

521
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: being on the same page when knowing what he wants

522
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 1: and how you want, how he wants you to run

523
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: the route is very important. So when the game comes,

524
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: he's just like, you know, just like practice. So how

525
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: do you feel about the twenty twenty tight end group

526
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 1: that's changed a little bit since you first got here. Um,

527
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: some some guys have come, some have gone. But now

528
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: this core group that you have with cells and you

529
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: know the rest of the crew. How do you feel

530
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: about the tight end group? And what about for yourself personally?

531
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: What sort of goals can you share with us that

532
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: you have for yourself for twenty twenty? The Italians are

533
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: very talented, you know, whether you know whoever they bring in,

534
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: they always they always, they always bring talent in. So

535
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: I don't really compare myself to him. I just try

536
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: to help them come along, you know, get them caught

537
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: up with the playbook kind of like you know how

538
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: how fiels kind of mentor me. I just try to

539
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: know do that. And you know, for the for the

540
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: older guy, I think Pharaoh, you know, he's pretty, he's

541
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: a he's a good vent. You know, he's a good

542
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: ball player. And even Troy coming from Denver, he's a

543
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: good guy. And everyone everyone knows what they're doing. They

544
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: just said, you know, they have to get more in

545
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: the playbook and they have experience basically, So like I say,

546
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: we compete and make each other better and we're all

547
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: going for one goal. And what about for yourself? Is

548
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: there anything you can share that you want to get

549
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: better at in your three I would say my overall everything, Um,

550
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: I want to improve on everything, blocking, catching, um jack yards,

551
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: special teams. I just wanted to never come on the field.

552
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: Good stuff. We never sleep on you, Jordan Nakins. Cannot

553
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: wait to see what the rest of twenty twenty brings

554
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: for you. Jordan Nakins on the deep slant one on

555
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: one present of Vice the Nie, Jordan's such a pleasure

556
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: talking to you. Like Wise, thank you for having me.

557
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: Texas drafted him in round three after coaching him at

558
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl. That was one of the things about

559
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: unfortunately finishing four and twelve and twenty seventeen, the Texas

560
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: at an opportunity to coach the twenty eighteen Senior Bowl.

561
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: They had an opportunity to spend with Jordan Nakins. Loved

562
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: everything about what he offered them, and I think he

563
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: is going to continue to grow and get better every

564
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: single game, every single year here with the Texans, and

565
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a big matchup. Look, everybody's looking at

566
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: the other tight end, Mark Andrews. Oh, what does Mark

567
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: Andrews do? Even looking at Nick Boyle. Well, how about

568
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: from the Texas side, what can Jordan Aikins do in

569
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: this game to be a thorn in the side of

570
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens defense. I think he can end up being

571
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: one of the matchup issues for the Ravens. Well, what

572
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: else did the tech Xins have to do to beat

573
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens on Sunday. Well, in the next segment, we

574
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: will have my Keys to the Game. I do this

575

Speaker 1: every single Friday night. We dive deep, deep deep into

576
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,160

Speaker 1: from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host

668
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: football analysts slide reporter John Harris, and it's time for

669
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: my Keys to the Game now. I write an article

670
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: each and every week is called Know Your Fae, and

671
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: I do it in the summer leading up to the season,

672
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: kind of give you an idea. Yeah, that's kind of

673
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: offseason content. Here are how the teams have changed. He's

674
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: here are the thirteen teams in Texas play the ten

675
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: non division opponents and then three division opponents, and so

676
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: I go through that. But then when I get into season,

677
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: I do know your Foe article, and then I follus

678
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: on the keys to the game offense, defense. And I'm

679
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna start off tonight with special teams because beating a

680
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh coach team is difficult enough. You have to

681
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: be pristine on special teams. That's where John Harbaugh cut

682
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: his teeth as a special teams coordinator before he became

683
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: a heads good coach. And I don't understand why more

684
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: teams haven't gone that route. But that all said, a

685
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: couple things on special teams. Number One, Sam Cook punter,

686
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: Let's see him out on the field. Last year. He

687
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: didn't punt once against the Texans, not once. Ten possessions

688
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: not one time they either ended in a touchdown, touchdown,

689
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: a touchdown, a field goal, or end of half or

690
00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: end of game. Did not see Sam Cook punt once.

691
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: Now he held for how many our fuel goals and

692
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: extra points? That was justin Tucker. What sort of bailed

693
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: the Texts out a little bit last year is justin Tucker.

694
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: I want to say, missed a fuel goal early on

695
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: and that sort of kept the Texans around for a

696
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: little bit. But things change the other direction. It's a

697
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 1: pristine game needed on the special teams. But I'll focus

698
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: on this one key. If things aren't going the way

699
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: that the Ravens and John Harball would like, be ready

700
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 1: for a fake punt, be ready for anything that will

701
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: steal a possession. In twenty seventeen Monday Night football, the

702
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: Texans came right out of the shoot. Tom Savage led

703
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: them right down the field for a touchdown, up seven

704
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: to nothing. Ravens got the ball, moved it a little bit,

705
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: but we stopped them, and then for a couple of

706
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: drives kind of stopped them, and then they got the ball.

707
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: I think it was late in the first quarter, and

708
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: we stop them again. Look like we're gonna hold them again,

709
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: get the ball back, maybe go score, maybe take a

710
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: two score least is gonna be awesome on the road

711
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: at Baltimore on Monday night. But this is tough. They

712
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: faked the punt Sam Cook through to Chris Moore up

713
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 1: the sideline, caught it, and then the Ravens basically took

714
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 1: over the rest of that game. In twenty seventeen, John

715
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: Harbaugh is not scared to let the special teams do

716
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: something like that on side kick, fake punt. Do not

717
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: lose a possession because you're not paying attention to what

718
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: the Ravens are doing on special teams. All right, good, Now,

719
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: let's talk about this Ravens defense and how the Texans

720
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: are gonna move the ball against that defense. Now, the

721
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: Ravens through one game, that gave up one hundred and

722
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: thirty eight yards on the ground last week to the Browns.

723
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: That's twenty fourth in the NFL. They're stingy against the past.

724
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: They gave up one hundred and sixty eight yards through

725
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: the air, that's fourth in the league. Total offense they've

726
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: given up is three hundred and six yards per game,

727
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: that's ninth in the league. However, they generated three turnovers

728
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: one inception two fumble recoveries. That's where the Ravens have

729
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: done their work. Look, they're they're good enough just on

730
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: their own to keep stopping you play in and play out,

731
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: but they generate turnovers. So let's get to the keys

732
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: to winning against that Ravens defense. Number one, don't fall

733
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: four shenanigans. Now what do you mean by that? John? Okay,

734
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: here's my meaning. Ravens defensive coordinator Don Wink Martindale, the

735
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 1: best nickname you're gonna find anywhere, is known for showing

736
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: pre snap a look to a quarterback and saying, hey, look,

737
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: we're all over here. We're all over here. In the

738
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: quarterback walks up and it was like, hey, let's change

739
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: the protection. Let's change this. Let's move to account for

740
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: those guys all over on that side. That's what they

741
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: want us to. Look, we gotta protect that side. They're

742
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: all coming from there. And then those guys all at

743
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: the snap drop out into coverage and then guys all

744
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: come from the other side. So you've now shifted everything

745
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: to where all those guys were. They all left and

746
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: now they're coming from the other side. I mean, look,

747
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: you would think that's a pretty popular blitz scheme scheme

748
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: just in general, and for some teams it is, but

749
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens do an excellent job of this. I remember

750
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: studying the Ravens defense going into the Patriots game last

751
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: year and studying off this Browns game, and they used

752
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: the same blitz I drew up on telestrator, and they

753
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: love to do a lot of that, and that is

754
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: we're over here. But then they use the shenanigans. Basically

755
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: they're disguising their scheme and those guys all drop. Guys

756
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: come from the other side, some come unabated. But the

757
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: key was on that play in the Browns game was

758
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: that one of the droppers was Clais Campbell and Baker

759
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: Mayfield never saw him and it hit Clais right in

760
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 1: the hands, the throat it it popped up in the air.

761
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey picked it off. That was the one interception

762
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: but the Ravens got and they got it using shenanigans.

763
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: So the shar Watson's offense cannot fall for those shenanigans.

764
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: They cannot fall for something the Ravens show pre snap

765
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: but then play something different post snap, and they're like,

766
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: oh man, they caught us. That can't happen, cannot happen. Okay.

767
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 1: Number two, Guard to guard wall. Now here's what I

768
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: mean by that, the Texans guard to guard wall, Max Sharping,

769
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: Nick Martin, Zack Fulton. That thing has got to be

770
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: an impenetrable wall. They cannot allow penetration from the Ravens

771
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: interior defenders through there. If there's anything that will kill

772
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: play is quicker than anything else for this Texans offense,

773
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: it's penetration and push through that guard center guard wall

774
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: cannot happen against the Chiefs. Happen a few times, created

775
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: some issue. That threesome has got to be an impenetrable wall.

776
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: They've got to just lock it up, give the Sean

777
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: confidence and then let Titus and Laramie work on islands

778
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: one on one out there, because they can do that.

779
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: But that wall, the guard center guard up front, they've

780
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: got to be a wall against Brandon Williams, Derek Wolf Kolius.

781
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: They've got to be stout in there and just hold

782
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: up as strong as they've ever held up. That's got

783
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: to happen. They cannot push the pocket back into the

784
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 1: Sean's lap, all right. Number three, And I can't say

785
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: this loud enough now these keys, I never put it

786
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: in any order. I just I just whatever they spit

787
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: out is however they come out. But number three is

788
00:42:54,640 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: ball security. It's simple, right. You can't turn a ball

789
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: over win a game in the NFL. You just can't.

790
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: You can't win a game in a Pop Warners and

791
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: Pop Warner, you can't win at high school, can't win

792
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: at college. You can't win a game in the NFL.

793
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: Turn the ball over this Ravens defense. This is when

794
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: it becomes even more so because this Ravens defense attacks

795
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 1: the football. They don't just attack the ball carrier, they'd

796
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: attack the football. Marlon Humphrey is one of the best

797
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: I've seen since Peanut Tilman of punching the ball out

798
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: and he won't go for the tackle. He punches at

799
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 1: the ball. And he's not the only one. That defense

800
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: is wound differently in how they attack ball carriers. Yes,

801
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: they want to bring the ball carrier down, but they

802
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: want to bring the ball carrier down at the same time,

803
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: punch it out and go give it back to their offense.

804
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 1: Ball security is at a premium. Texans had one turnover

805
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: the other night. That was the interceptions. The interception which

806
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: Deshan got hit on a blitz by Tyran Matthew. I

807
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: don't even want to think about that play anymore. The

808
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: bats didn't fumble, receivers didn't drop or didn't you know,

809
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: spit the bid after they caught the football. They need

810
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 1: to catch everything their way, but ball security, especially anywhere

811
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: around that secondary. Those guys are looking to punch that

812
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: thing out at all costs. Number four Kleis Campbell again. Now,

813
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: Klais is going to set a record, whether he knows

814
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: it or not. I don't know if anybody else falls

815
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: into this category, but he will have faced the Texans

816
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: in their home opener in twenty seventeen, twenty nineteen and

817
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: now twenty twenty, did twenty seventeen twenty nineteen with the

818
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: Jaguars in twenty twenty with the Ravens, so he will

819
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: have seen Liberty White day three of the four. He

820
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 1: won the first one in twenty seventeen, and that's the

821
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: one that I always think about because when Klais showed up,

822
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: I wasn't exactly sure what to expect in Arizona. He's

823
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: a good player. I thought he's a good player. I

824
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: saw him up close to Jacksonville realized how great a

825
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 1: player he was. And he did an NFL game Pass

826
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: film session this offseason that was outstanding, and he talked

827
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: about all the different things that he thinks about that

828
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't on the field, and it just made me

829
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: appreciate Klay's campbell that much more. But because he's six

830
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: to eight and because he's two two ninety five, he

831
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: is extremely hard to get a handle on. So these

832
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: guy guys up front, no matter where he lines up,

833
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 1: they've got a brace for it. They've got to handle

834
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: that pressure. And most importantly, when Deshaun is to throw

835
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: the ball, you gotta get his hands down. Get his

836
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: hands down. He'll get his hands on passes when he's

837
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: not dropping at the coverage, and that is a problem.

838
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 1: Gotta get his hands down. And number five be the

839
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: bigger bully. The Ravens since they arrived in Baltimore from

840
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland have been the bigger bully out on the field.

841
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: Almost every time the Ravens take the field. They are physical.

842
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: They relish being nasty, they relish being the team that

843
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: intimidates the other side. If you will not even failure,

844
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: you don't intidate teams as much. But the way the Ravens.

845
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: Play boy, You've got to just every single play, it's

846
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,959
Speaker 1: got to be all right, big boy, pads on, Let's

847
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: go to work, and you have to match them physical

848
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: for physical. You have to be the bigger bully up

849
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: on an offensive line that you have to do on offense. Now,

850
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: how are you going to stop Lamar Jackson and this defense? Now,

851
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: excuse me, this Raven's offense. Raven's offense last week one

852
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: hundred and seven yards rushing in the ground. That's down

853
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: from last year, twentieth in the league. Lamar did throw

854
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: for two hundred and sevent yards last week. That put

855
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens seventh in the league. Total offense is tied

856
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: for twelfth at three seventy seven, and they did lose

857
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: a fumble. They're led by the twenty nineteen VP, Lamar

858
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,439
Speaker 1: Jackson and rookie JK. Dobbins is added to the run game,

859
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 1: but the key is upfront and with tight end Mark Andrews.

860
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: So let's get into the keys to winning versus the

861
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: Ravens offense. And it starts and this is as I

862
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: said earlier. I don't put these in any order, but

863
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: this was the very first thing that came to mind,

864
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: and it is the very first thing the Texans must, must,

865
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: must do against the Ravens. And I can't say it

866
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: any louder but tackle coacher Brian pointed out the twenty

867
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: miss tackles against the Chiefs. The tackling was not great.

868
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: That was Clyde Edwards layer for the most part. He's

869
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: a very difficult guy to tackle. He's built lower the ground,

870
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: he's stout, he's quick, he's got great vision. If you

871
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: don't get a good pop on him and then wrap

872
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: him up, he's gonna embarrass you. And that's what happened

873
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Well guess what. JK. Dobbins, mark Ingram

874
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson aren't built the exact same, but they

875
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: run with that same sort of feeling, and that is

876
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take your manhood if you don't bring everything

877
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: you got to tackle me. So you have to tackle

878
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: twenty miss tackles again and the Texans will be looking

879
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 1: at oh and two number two. Spill it, spill it

880
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: and fly to the football. Now here's what I mean.

881
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: One of the things the Titans were able to do

882
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: in that playoff win at Baltimore was they took away

883
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's down hill running lanes. Where Lamar had exploited

884
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: teams all year long was zone read and then everybody

885
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: just caved in and he could just head straight down field. Well,

886
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, he's at the live acker

887
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 1: level and split second and he's to the secondary level

888
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 1: a second after that, and guys just aren't fast enough

889
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: to deal with that. But what the Titans did was

890
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: they created their defense such that they made him spill

891
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: to the outside. They made him keep bouncing the runs.

892
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 1: They spilled it and spilled it, and they just kept

893
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: widening it out to where Lamar had no running room

894
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: and that just allowed everybody to get to the ball

895
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: once they knew what was coming. So they just kind

896
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: of kept spilling him and pushing him out further, basically

897
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: to the sideline, for he had no room to kind

898
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: of cut it up, and if he did cut it up,

899
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: he was gonna be tackled there by two or three

900
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: different Titans. That's what the Texans have to emulate to

901
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: slow down his in particular his running impact on the game.

902
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: Number three tighter round the tight ends, namely Mark andrews

903
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: now Nick Boyle is a really good blocker and a

904
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: good football player for the Ravens. He's not three. He

905
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: does not really worry me too much in the passing game,

906
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: but Mark Andrews does. Mark Andrews is arguably one of

907
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 1: the top three tight ends in the game. He catches

908
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: everything thrown his way. The one hand catch against the

909
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: Browns and the first game was just sublime. I mean shit,

910
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: you talk about a brilliant catch, It was just sublime.

911
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: You know, the French kiss thing it was. It was awesome.

912
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: The Texans did a little bit better job on Travis

913
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: Kelsey this time. Kelsey and Andrews are not the same guy.

914
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: Andrews not a as athletically gifted as Kelsey, but I

915
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: think Andrews has better hands, he runs better routes. He's

916
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: a little bit tougher cover. But you've got to be

917
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: in a hip pocket and then when the ball is thrown,

918
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 1: you gotta fight, like you know what through the catch

919
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,479
Speaker 1: point to make sure that you can pop that ball loose.

920
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: And I don't know exactly who will be entrusted to

921
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: cover Mark Andrews, but it's going to be a combination

922
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: of linebacker's safeties, maybe even corners. Nichols say it doesn't matter,

923
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be everybody. They've got to be in a

924
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: hip pocket all game long. They've got to cover Mark

925
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: Andrews as if their life depends on it, because their

926
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 1: football lives. Well, maybe they do. Number four is pressure

927
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,439
Speaker 1: the answer? Now, the way I asked that question, you'd

928
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: think yes, but no. I think pressure is the answer.

929
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: And I do think that there's got to be a

930
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: way that the Texans can pressure Lamar Jackson like the

931
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,879
Speaker 1: Browns did. The Browns they rushed four, they rushed four,

932
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: they rushed four, They gave Lamar all kinds of time,

933
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: and finally they just said, you know what, We're gonna

934
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: bring an extra blitzer and see what happens. And that

935
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,479
Speaker 1: guy got home for a sack. I thought, why aren't

936
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 1: you doing this more? I think pressure is an answer

937
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: to help slow down this Ravens pass the game. If

938
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: you let Lamar sit back there and have four guys

939
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: rush and rely on all four guys to win one

940
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: on ones and one guy maybe to win to be

941
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: to two on one, you're gonna have an awful day.

942
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: I think you can bring pressure, it's got to still

943
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: be discipline pressure, and when that guy gets there, that

944
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: guy's gotta make sure he makes a tackle Lamar Jackson.

945
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: That's what the Browns were able to do. They brought

946
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: that pressure and they didn't do it much, but when

947
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: they did, they got to Jackson clean and got a sack.

948
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: I think the Texans have to bring that pressure and

949
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: get those sacks and get more than just a sack.

950
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 1: They've got to get multiple sacks. They've got to put

951
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: that pressure on Jackson and make him look a little bit,

952
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: make him think where's it coming from. That's just that

953
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: might just be enough. That might just be enough. And lastly,

954
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: be the bigger bully. Part two. Defensively, physically dominate the

955
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: Ravens offense, defense, special teams. They are at an advantage

956
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: because they always feel like they're the physical winner in

957
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: that game. When they take the field, they know they're

958
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: physically gonna beat you up. Well, turn the tables, physically

959
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: beat them up. Every tackle, two, three, four guys are there.

960
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson runs the ball down the field. You hammer

961
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: him every time he runs it. Receivers go up for catches.

962
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: Hammer those guys every time. Be the physical winner of

963
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: this game on both sides of the ball. All right,

964
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: those are your keys to the game. Hopefully you enjoy those.

Speaker 1: right here on this Friday edition the Texans All Access

1084
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: from the Hunday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host

1085
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: football and us to selling a reporter, John Harris. So

1086
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: glad to be with you on this Friday evening as

1087
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: I have been sharing with you for the last six seasons.

1088
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Is now the seventh and I cannot wait for Sunday. Now,

1089
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: keep in mind Sunday three twenty five, three twenty five. Now,

1090
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: it's a little easier when obviously you have to watch

1091
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: in the game at home as supposed to being at

1092
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: the stadium, because obviously it takes your time to get

1093
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: to the stadium, parking lot, set, uptil gat, it's all

1094
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And it's a little easier knowing

1095
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: the games in the afternoon as opposed to think in

1096
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: the games afternoon and it actually started at twelve. That's

1097
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:33,919
Speaker 1: always been my fear. But game Sunday is at three

1098
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: twenty five. That's the kick. It'll be one of the

1099
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: later afternoon games. So Texans, I don't think that I

1100
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: can remember. I don't think that Texans I've ever had

1101
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: a home opener other than at noon that I can

1102
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: think of. I could be wrong on that, but I

1103
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: just remember nothing but noon stunts. I know it's been

1104
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: nothing but noon starts since I've been in the building,

1105
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: and I started in twenty fourteen. I don't remember any

1106
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: other home opener. It hasn't started at noon. This one

1107
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: will start at three twenty five. Looking for that national

1108
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: television window and the Texans, obviously we'll get it. Everybody

1109
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: wants to see Texans be Ravens. They want to see

1110
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson the Deshaun Watson. This is around three. Sean

1111
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: got the first one, Lamar got the second one, and

1112
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: now we've got the third meeting between these outstanding young

1113
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on Sunday again at three twenty five. One of

1114
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: the guys charged with stopping Lamar Jackson's the guy at

1115
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: a sack in last year's game, and that's Brennan Scarlett

1116
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: and Drew Doherty had a chance to catch up with

1117
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: Brennan and do a little twelve questions. First things first,

1118
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: let's talk about your charity. You raise money for it

1119
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: by having a dodgeball tournament, which I love. How good though,

1120
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: are you at dodgeball? You know, unfortunately I'm not the

1121
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: best dodge ball player. I never played baseball growing up.

1122
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't a quarterback, so the arm isn't what it

1123
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: needs to be. But I'm a utility guy though. You know,

1124
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: I'll get I will get the occasional out. I'll catch

1125
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: somebody out. And at the end of the day, you know,

1126
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: if I'm the last standing on my team, you can

1127
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm dependable, like I'm gonna bring somebody else in, you know,

1128
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: So I really build my team, you know, around knowing

1129
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: my weaknesses, you know, start bringing a good arm, a

1130
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: couple of good arms in. We're usually okay. I don't

1131
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: want to overstep bounds here, but I have a suggestion

1132
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: for you because one of your new teammates got his

1133
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: hands or improved his hands courtesy of dodgeball when he

1134
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: was in middle school in high school. David Johnson has

1135
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 1: a really cool story about it, and he's prolific in

1136
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: his words. Will you add David Johnson to the mix

1137
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: as far as helping raise money for the charity and

1138
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit more about the charity after

1139
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: you addressed the David Johnson aspect, Oh, easily would bring

1140
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: David Johnson to the squad. My squad is always called

1141
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: the Big Yard bandits we need I need to get

1142
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: de Sean out there. And yeah, So the Big Yard Foundation,

1143
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: which is foundation I started two years ago. We support

1144
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: community empowerment through literacy, especially especially childhood literacy. And so

1145
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: we raised our money via dodgeball tournaments and this year

1146
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: we did a June teenth March and then we take

1147
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: that those funds and we buy books and provide books

1148
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 1: and through book fairs to underserved and underprivileged kids and

1149
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: underprivileged neighborhoods. So we've been doing that for a couple

1150
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: of years now and continuing to grow and expand and

1151
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: try to change lives. That's really awesome. And you know

1152
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: here in Houston, I know you've been very involved in

1153
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: that as well. You and I even did an event

1154
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: last year where you read a book to some kids.

1155
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: So that makes me wonder, what's your favorite childhood book

1156
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: from when you were growing up? Oh? Easy, the Harry

1157
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: Potter series was my go to book as a kid.

1158
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: My m I always tell this story. My mom used

1159
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: to take me to the Harry Potter It was like

1160
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 1: the book drop, the book release, and it used to

1161
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: be the mid at midnight of the day that it

1162
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: was going to drop. And so me and my mom

1163
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: would go to Barnes and Nobles. She would have she

1164
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: would give me a hot chocolate. There's all these Starbucks there,

1165
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: and we'd sit on the floor and wait in line

1166
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: for the Harry Potter books. And I get that book

1167
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: at midnight and literally read it till like four am,

1168
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,439
Speaker 1: you know, just nerd it out. That's really a cool

1169
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: mom thing to do. I mean, and your mom came

1170
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: to another event that we did last year, so we've

1171
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: seen her around. But how special is that, you know,

1172
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: having your mom do little things like that for you

1173
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: when you're growing up. Oh, it was amazing. You know,

1174
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: my mom, my dad, you know, my whole family, just

1175
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: as they have been inspired me and motivating me and

1176
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,479
Speaker 1: really supporting anything I was into, whether it was reading

1177
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Harry Potter books or you know, taking me to football

1178
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: or basketball games on early Saturday mornings. You know, regardless

1179
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: of what it was, they really have motivated me. And

1180
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: really the reason that you know I'm sitting here today.

1181
01:04:57,880 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: You would have talked at linked in the past about

1182
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: some of the gear you wear from the nineteen nineties

1183
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: sort of nostalgia stuff, and it's always fun to see

1184
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 1: you were born in nineteen ninety three, and we're gonna

1185
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: touch on that just a moment, but on the whole,

1186
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: what do you think is the best part of the

1187
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, the best part of the nineties? It was

1188
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: either it was either the R and B music nineties

1189
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: R and B was amazing, yeah, or the I mean

1190
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: the style. If we were gonna get specific, I would

1191
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: say the Fresh Prince of Bill Later, Okay, that was

1192
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: that was my show, is my show to this day,

1193
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,439
Speaker 1: and that kind of encomes is everything I just said

1194
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: music style and just you know, the Fresh Prince was

1195
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: was the man. Okay, nineteen ninety three's the year you

1196
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: were born. Also born in that year, Ariana Grande Chance,

1197
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: the rapper, Pete Davidson, the actor comedian, and Anthony Davis

1198
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: of the Lakers. Out of those five, rank them and

1199
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: you're included? What am I? What am my ranking off

1200
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:05,919
Speaker 1: of you? Just you tell me, man, the top five

1201
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety three out of that one, all right?

1202
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: So let me sure we had we had Chance, Arianna,

1203
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 1: we had Anthony Davis, myself, Ye, Pete Davidson from Saturday

1204
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 1: Night Live, all right, watch started. I think number one,

1205
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: I would say chance. I would say number two would

1206
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: be gosh, I don't know where to I don't know

1207
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 1: where to fit myself into this hole. You're so modest man.

1208
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: Most of you guys put yourselves first. Yeah, but like

1209
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: that's not for me to say, you know what I mean?

1210
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 1: I would say Pete, A, d Arianna, and my and

1211
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: then myself. So you're fifth, okay, all right? I was.

1212
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: I was setting you up there. I was putting it

1213
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: all on a tee for you. Now, you're an NFL player,

1214
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: and you mentioned that you weren't a great baseball player,

1215
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: but you're still a pretty darn good athlete in some

1216
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 1: other sports. If you weren't an NFL player, what's your

1217
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: favorite sport to actually play? I would say basket basketball

1218
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: for sure over the years. But a sport that I've

1219
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: gotten into recently is golf. Um, and I enjoy I

1220
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: enjoy playing another sport kind of similar to dodge ball

1221
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: that I'm not great at, but it's fun to get

1222
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: out there with with my boys and you know, slapping

1223
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 1: around a little bit and just enjoy being outdoors. And

1224
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: that's a that's a sport that I enjoyed playing. Yeah,

1225
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: I think I did an interview with you this summer

1226
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: on Zoom and you were on the golf course. Uh

1227

01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: your your teammates, your Texans teammates. Yeah, I've played. I

Speaker 1: are the two guys. Who else, Nick Martin, I've been

01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: out there with Nick. Yeah, it's about it. Okay, perfect

1233

Speaker 1: people in town, which those are the best, the best

1237
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 1: time of family, friends coming down, whatever, then we're going

1238
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: to stake forty eight. I'm getting that bone in Redby.

1239
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: We're starting off with the Krispy shrimp, the Calamarian shrimp,

1240
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: maybe the devil eggs. With the Krispy shrimp, you know,

1241
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:37,560
Speaker 1: a nice little glass of wine, maybe a jin martini

1242
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: if we want. How dirty is it? Oh yeah, it's there.

1243
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: It's it's the blue cheese stuff to olives. All right.

1244
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 1: If you don't have that one, you can add that

1245
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: one to the book down. Some people are food snobs,

1246
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 1: some people are hotel snobs. Are you a snob about anything?

1247
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 1: In particular? I would say I'm somewhat of a of

1248
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: a food snob. Yeah, oh yeah, I like I like

1249
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 1: my food to be sourced from. I like to know

1250
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: where my food sourced from, you know, healthy and organic

1251
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 1: and all that all that stuff. Obviously like it to

1252
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 1: taste good, but I also like it to be good

1253
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 1: for my body. What was the other one? You said?

1254
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,719
Speaker 1: You know, hotel food? You know, I think you answered

1255
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: the question, so yeah, yeah, yeah, I would say food

1256
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 1: for sure. So you're not doing that. One dollar ninety

1257
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 1: nine said big Gulp special where you get the big gulp,

1258
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: the hot dog and a big bag like Dorita's. No, no, no,

1259
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: that's not That's not my mom at all. Just asking

1260
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: for a friend. I wouldn't have done that lately. Well, Brandon,

1261
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: it is always good to talk with you. I'm glad

1262
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,759
Speaker 1: you're doing so well. Thanks for indulging me and answering

1263
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: some of these goofy questions, but best of luck on

1264
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Ravens. We will talk to you again

1265
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 1: very soon, my friend, no doubt, I appreciate you having me, Drew.

1266
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 1: That's gotta be one of my favorite players of the building.

1267
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 1: Brent Scarlet from Portland, or and just love what he

1268
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: is all about. And he is one of the few

1269
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 1: guys if any gosh, I can't think of anybody else

1270
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: that started his career at Cal finished it at Stanford,

1271
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 1: sort of like starting your career at University of Texas

1272
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 1: and finishing at Texas A and M. Has anybody ever

1273
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 1: done that, but think about that. That's that's what he did,

1274
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 1: graduated from both places. Wonderful individual, great to have around

1275
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:30,919
Speaker 1: this team. Gonna be in a spotlight on Sunday against

1276
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Those outside guys are challenged with so much

1277
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 1: in this game because they have got to slot on

1278
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: the zone. Read that you got to set the edge

1279
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: in the wide running game. They then have to get

1280
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 1: pass rush pressure on Lamar Jackson. It is a lot

1281
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,679
Speaker 1: on those edge guys to have to try and stop

1282
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,560
Speaker 1: a guy like Lamar Jackson. We talked about that a

1283
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: little bit more in our Keys. It cannot be a

1284
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: one man thing. However, there are players probably more instrumental

1285
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: to the process because of the conflict they're put in

1286
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: and the outside linebackers, brand Scarlett, Whitney, Merciless, John Grenard,

1287
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,679
Speaker 1: Jacob Martin. Those guys are the ones that are typically

1288
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: putting conflict against an offense like this. The good news,

1289
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,639
Speaker 1: if there is any, is that at least the Texans

1290
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 1: saw this offense last year. They saw it at full volume. Now,

1291
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 1: whether the Ravens are at full volume by week two

1292
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,640
Speaker 1: of a new season with no preseason game, oh, that

1293
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: remains to be seen. But the Texans have seen this.

1294
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 1: They've been on the field with Lamar Jackson, They've played

1295
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:39,680
Speaker 1: against this guy, they've studied him, they've had an opportunity

1296
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 1: to see him. Now they've got a whole litney of

1297
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: information that they can now use when they go to

1298
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 1: face Lamar Jackson. So Bran Scarlett going to be a big,

1299
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 1: big figure in that game on Sunday. And I cannot

1300
01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:02,640
Speaker 1: say this enough. Three twenty five. Now Sunday is a

1301
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:06,640
Speaker 1: day loaded with games in the NFL. There will be

1302
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 1: fourteen games on Sunday, one game on Monday night. I

1303
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,759
Speaker 1: will predict all of them straight up and against this spread.

1304
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: And I will do that next right here in Texans.

1305
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 1: Waxis can't get enough Texans Radio we've got shows, we've

1306

1307
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:40,400

1308
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: shared about COVID nineteen. Houston Methodist wants to share the facts.

1309
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen is a serious and potentially deadly illness, and

1310
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: you can infect others, including loved ones, without even knowing it.

1311
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: But it's also avoidable. If we each do our part,

1312
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: wear a mask, wash your hands, stay six feet apart.

1382
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:49,799
Speaker 1: As this game gets underway, here's the kickoff, Clarkbye Dacan.

1383
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 1: They're really stepping it up for Houston, Jim. Like all

1384
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:56,679
Speaker 1: that financial assistance they gave for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. Yeah, Steve,

1385
01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:58,760
Speaker 1: they gained a lot of yardage on that morning. Here's

1386
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 1: the NAT. Look at that donation to Habitat for Humanity.

1387
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 1: Did you see all those AC units they provided for

1388
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 1: low income housing? These guys would be on fire if

1389
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 1: they weren't so cool. Taken is definitely Houston's biggest fans.

1390
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: They're taking this Houston team right into the comfort zone

1391
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 1: uffort zone. What are the experts predicting about this week's

1392
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:23,600
Speaker 1: big game? Extra pointings Saturday nights at ten thirty or

1393
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: after the late local news on ABC thirteen. Alright, alright, alright,

1394
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: we have reached that time on this Friday evening. For

1395
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:39,680
Speaker 1: all of my NFL game predictions, I would have even

1396
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 1: want to know, I would have picked the Browns to

1397
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,599
Speaker 1: win last night, I would have probably taken the over,

1398
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 1: So I feel like I'm one and oh already. And

1399
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 1: I probably would have got it against the spread too.

1400
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 1: I don't remember what the spread was, but it ended

1401
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: up being five, and I would have picked the Browns

1402
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,680
Speaker 1: to win by somewhere between five to seven. So I

1403
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: would have won that one too. So I'm two and

1404
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 1: oh right now. And I do this every single week.

1405
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 1: I think last year, I last week, I knocked it

1406
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,599
Speaker 1: out of the park. I'm just I'm no, I'm not saying.

1407
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you go back and look at it,

1408
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: go go go read it, go listen. It's all right there.

1409
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 1: I tell you what's going on. I tell you all

1410
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: the great picks. I give them all to you. So

1411
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: I know last year, last week, I gave you nothing

1412
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 1: but winners. That should be my website, nothing but winners

1413
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: dot com. In fact, my website football tago dot com.

1414
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: And I have a podcast now this is all focused

1415
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 1: on college football football and friends, go check it out.

1416
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 1: But it's time for my NFL predictions. On my college podcast,

1417
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 1: I predicted all CFP games against spread straight up. Now

1418
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 1: it's time for NFL games. But I need my music

1419
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 1: I need my music and it feels like it's right there.

1420
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: Oh there it is. Oh yes, there is my music

1421
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: that just gets me in the mood. In mood, it's

1422
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 1: like being in the mood for football. Let's start with

1423
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:00,760
Speaker 1: our noon games and we'll be able to watch whether

1424
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:04,679
Speaker 1: you're watching at home or your pseudo tailgate or whatever

1425
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 1: you got going on. It starts with Jars Jars Giants v.

1426
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 1: Bears nineteen fifty six NFL Championship Game rematch. The Bears

1427
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:19,600
Speaker 1: are one and oh huge comeback down twenty three and

1428
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: six to the Lions last week. Mitchell Trubiski led them

1429
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 1: back and then the Lions were about to win it,

1430
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 1: but Leandre Swift dropped the touchdown pass. Bears win one

1431
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 1: win twenty seven twenty three. They go to one to zero.

1432
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 1: The Giants had some moments against the Steelers. That is

1433
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 1: a rock'am sock 'em defense for the Steelers, and we'll

1434
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: see them in week three. However, the Giants unable to

1435
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:48,799
Speaker 1: put enough points on the board. Sae Quon Barkley essentially

1436
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: shut down rushing game for sure. I think the Bears

1437
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 1: win this. The Bears are favorite about five and a half.

1438
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't like the Bears giving the points to anybody,

1439
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: But I just feel like the Giants now having to

1440
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 1: go on the road Owen one, I think reality sets in.

1441
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: It's not a great football team ever. Gonna picked the

1442
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 1: Bears or excuse me, the Jaguars to be number thirty

1443
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: two in the league. I think the Giants might be

1444
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:15,240
Speaker 1: number thirty two in the league. That said, Bears win

1445
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 1: by a touchdown twenty four or seventeen, that's more than

1446
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 1: five and a half. Bears get to win and the

1447
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 1: cover the Owen one. Falcons go to the Owen one Cowboys.

1448
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: Now Matt Ryan lit it up again in a losing

1449
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 1: effort through for four hundred and fifty plus yards against

1450
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:40,679
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. Great Falcons lost. Falcons can't stop anybody.

1451
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 1: The Cowboys going home our four point favorite. I feel

1452
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: like this is stealing money in some sense, because I

1453
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 1: feel like the Cowboys are gonna win this thing, and

1454
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna win it by ten or more that four

1455
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 1: point spread. I think Cowboys gonna blow it out of

1456
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 1: the water. Cowboys win at home, go to one and one,

1457
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: Falcons go to o and two, and the Falcons I

1458
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 1: think we're on a collision course to this being the

1459
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,400
Speaker 1: last year for dan Quinn there in Atlanta, and I

1460
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 1: hate that because everybody I talked to you tells me

1461
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 1: that dan Quinn is just an awesome, awesome guy, awesome coach,

1462
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 1: awesome leader. But defensively they just don't have it together.

1463
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:18,439
Speaker 1: Cow would win. Cowboys win, they go to one and one,

1464
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,719
Speaker 1: then they cover. All right, Packers gonna visit from Lions. Lions,

1465
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:23,599
Speaker 1: like I said, a little while ago, had the win

1466
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 1: in their hands, literally in DeAndre Swift's hands, and lost it.

1467
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 1: Packers dominant offensively. Now, I don't think the VIC is

1468
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 1: a very good defensively, I'll be honest, so I wasn't

1469
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 1: too surprised that the Packers were able to do that.

1470
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,560
Speaker 1: But at home for the first time, I think the

1471
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: Packers will make the Lions pay. I think the Packers

1472
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: put up another big number on a board. I don't

1473
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:50,720
Speaker 1: think the Lions are very good at all. I think

1474
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 1: Green Bay covers the six and a half, give the

1475
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: Packers a win and a cover at home. Okay, AFC South,

1476
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 1: Let's dance. Both one or two teams will meet the

1477
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguires or one to oh after a big win

1478
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 1: over the Annapolis Colts. The Titans are one to oh

1479
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 1: after eking by the Denver Broncos. The Broncos manpower way

1480
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 1: down with no Courtland Sutton in the receiving game, and

1481
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 1: the Titans took advantage of that. Now, the Titans could

1482
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: have made this a lot worse. They also could have

1483
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: had a couple of things go the other direction, where

1484
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: the Broncos could have made it worse. Either way, the

1485
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: Titans got the win, and the Titans are favored by

1486
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 1: seven at home, that's usually a lock. The Jaguars do

1487
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 1: not beat Tennessee. They just don't beat them, and they

1488
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:37,599
Speaker 1: definitely don't beat them in Nashville. Either way, I'm going

1489
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,640
Speaker 1: with the Titans. There's number seven is right at it.

1490
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm gonna say, the Jaguars are

1491
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna play within that seven. So let's give the Titans

1492
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 1: the win, but the Jags the cover. I would love

1493
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: to see an upset by the Jags to get them

1494
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:51,719
Speaker 1: to two and oh, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

1495
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:55,680
Speaker 1: Titans go to town Oh, not surprising given the two opponents,

1496
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:59,839
Speaker 1: and the Titans will not get the covers. The Jaguars

1497
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 1: inside that seven pointer. All right. Colts go back home

1498
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:08,679
Speaker 1: for the first time in twenty twenty. They face the Vikings,

1499
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:14,879
Speaker 1: both teams disappointed with their Week one appearances. The Vikings

1500
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: got trounced by the Packers, gave up all kinds of

1501
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: points to them, and the Colts didn't look good throw

1502
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:25,840
Speaker 1: the football forty eight times. Now, the Colts will be

1503
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 1: without Marlon Mack for the rest of the year. They'll

1504
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 1: start running back. They sew Jonathan Taylor's to have ninem

1505
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 1: Hins and they'll probably bring in Wilkins. That adds three backs.

1506
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna run the ball more. I think

1507
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,600
Speaker 1: that will be the message throughout the week. We are

1508
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 1: going to run the ball, run the ball, run the ball,

1509
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: and I think the Vikings will pay. The Colts are

1510
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 1: favored about three and a half at home. I think

1511
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 1: that's about right. I'm gonna give the Colts to win

1512
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: at home. As the Colts bounce back and they win

1513
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 1: by five to seven. So let's give the Colts a

1514
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: win and a cover at home. The Buffalo Bills one

1515
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 1: to oh after a pretty convincing win over the Miami Dolphins.

1516
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen looked very, very good in the opener, Stefon Diggs,

1517
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:11,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna add something to that offense, and every other

1518
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 1: skill player stepped up. Zach Moss caught a touchdown, the

1519
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: rookie running back the Dolphins and one. With FITZI still

1520
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,639
Speaker 1: in charge, they go down to South Beach, where Buffalo

1521
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 1: is favored by five and a half. Miami is better

1522
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: than it was last year. It's not saying a whole lot,

1523
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,320
Speaker 1: but they still offensively are a bit challenged. I think

1524
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: the Bills will win this thing. It feels like twenty

1525
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 1: three to twelve. That gets a cover. Buffalo goes down

1526
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 1: to Miami, gets a win, gets the cover in the

1527
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 1: AFC East. All right, these two teams. You figured one

1528
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 1: of them might be oh and one to start the year,

1529
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 1: but not both. But they both are. The San Francisco

1530
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:54,280
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers travel cross country to play a negative

1531
01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 1: body clock game, starting at one o'clock local time, nine

1532
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: a body clock time for the forty nine ers as

1533
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 1: they take on the New York Jets. The Jets are lousy.

1534
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,720
Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers did not look good defensively. The

1535
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 1: Cardinals did whatever they wanted to The forty nine Ers

1536
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: vaunted defense and walked out of the new Candlestick a

1537
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: Ka Levi Stadium with a W leaving the forty nine

1538
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: ers scratching their heads like, how are we gonna do this? Well?

1539
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: The perfect tonic for a road game other than traveling

1540
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,960
Speaker 1: across country is the Jets. The Jets are not a

1541
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,799
Speaker 1: good football team in any way, shape or form. Levion

1542
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 1: Bell gonna be out for at least three weeks for

1543
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: the hamstring issue. Forty Ninurs are fair by seven. They're

1544
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 1: gonna win this by two touchdowns or more. Forty nine

1545
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: Ers go on the road, get the win and the

1546
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 1: cover over the Jets. MSS the Jets mess. Yes, I

1547
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: just made it up as we go. Okay, Fortyninurs winn

1548
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: a cover. Next, let's go to Philadelphia, and I look

1549
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:03,799
Speaker 1: what Vegas has done on this one, and I am clueless.

1550
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 1: The La Rams offense without Todd Gurley, without Brandon Cooks,

1551
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 1: it rolled, It moved the ball in the Cowboys throughout

1552
01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 1: the night. In a Sunday night win at home against

1553
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:22,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. They go to Philadelphia, the Rams do and

1554
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: again another negative body clock game for West Coast team.

1555
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 1: The Eagles lost last week to Washington and gave up

1556
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: eight sacks in the process. Now, Washington, if you haven't

1557
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 1: been paying attention, has got one of the better defensive

1558
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:42,000
Speaker 1: fronts in the entire league. The Rams have the best

1559
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:46,839
Speaker 1: interior defensive line player probably for the last few decades,

1560
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 1: in Aaron Donald. I don't know how Philadelphia is going

1561
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:54,799
Speaker 1: to protect against Aaron Donald and against the Rams Rushers.

1562
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is favored by one at home, basically a pick them.

1563
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 1: I like the Rams to win this thing outright on

1564
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:04,799
Speaker 1: the road and go to two and oh the Eagles

1565
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:09,479
Speaker 1: are reeling just a little bit, all right. Another noon

1566
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:13,720
Speaker 1: Central Time game. That's the Broncos and the Steelers. The

1567
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 1: Steelers went to the Giants MetLife Stadium and took care

1568
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: of business. I don't think it was pretty in any respects,

1569
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's gonna be with Pittsburgh this year.

1570
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:26,400
Speaker 1: Ben still coming off the elbow issue, he'd said after

1571
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 1: the game. Feel good. I feel as good as I

1572
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 1: felt in a long time. The defense made plays for

1573
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:35,639
Speaker 1: the Steelers and now they get the Broncos. Now, Courtland

1574
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 1: Sutton didn't play for the Broncos, and I think that

1575
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 1: was a big deal. Philip Lindsay was banged up in

1576
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,519
Speaker 1: that Monday night game, and I love Melvin Gordon came

1577
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 1: in and did some good things, but I just don't

1578
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 1: expect this Broncos offensive line to hold up against the

1579
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 1: Steelers front to it, Hayward what Bud Dupree. I just

1580
01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 1: don't think that they're gonna hold up. And even if

1581
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: they start to hold up, they're gonna see some blitz

1582
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be a problem for Drew Locke.

1583
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's playing at home. Let's give them the win. It's

1584
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:09,840
Speaker 1: a seven points spread. The Steelers are favored. I think

1585
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:12,719
Speaker 1: Courtland Suton's gonna play. I think that gets the Broncos

1586
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 1: inside the seven in a fairly low scoring game. But

1587
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers will win this thing between five to seven.

1588
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 1: Let's go under the seven. So let's go Steelers to win,

1589
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 1: Broncos to cover. Okay, Next, this will beyard last Noon

1590
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:37,719
Speaker 1: Central game and it's anc South battle. Carolina Panthers lost

1591
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 1: at home to the Las Vegas Raiders. I say it

1592
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:42,679
Speaker 1: out loud because I gotta keep in mind, it's not Oakland,

1593
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 1: it's Las Vegas. Not Oakland, it's Las Vegas. The Panthers

1594
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: did put up some points in the process, Joe Brady

1595
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:51,519
Speaker 1: and an offense got it cranked, and I think they're

1596
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:54,439
Speaker 1: gonna be able to move the ball. The Buccaneers what

1597
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:58,520
Speaker 1: the New Orleans and Tom Brady looked like Brock Oswader

1598
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:02,120
Speaker 1: in that game, and not a good way. Tampa Bay's

1599
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: favored by eight. I don't know that. I buy that.

1600
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:08,519
Speaker 1: I think Tampa Bay's defense is gonna be okay. I

1601
01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:11,400
Speaker 1: think Brady will settle back in. But I do think

1602
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers offense is pretty good. It can put

1603
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 1: some points up on anybody where there's DJ Moore, Curtis

1604
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: Samuel or CMAC twenty two. They got a lot of

1605
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 1: different ways to hurt teams. So I think the excuse me,

1606
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:25,960
Speaker 1: the Panthers are gonna make this a lot closer people think.

1607
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't think the Panthers win this game goes into

1608
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. I think Brady does something in the

1609
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:32,800
Speaker 1: fourth quarter that gets the Bucks to win, but it's

1610
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:34,960
Speaker 1: not one of the eight points. So the Buccaneers win

1611
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 1: this game at home. The Panthers get the cover as

1612
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:42,520
Speaker 1: they keep that thing within eight points. Then your afternoon

1613
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:46,599
Speaker 1: games start with the Washington football team one and OHO

1614
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 1: going to the Arizona Cardinals one and oh. Arizona's favored

1615
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 1: by seven, and it feels a little rich. It feels

1616
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 1: like Arizona being kind of a nouveau reach in the league.

1617
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 1: Everybody's sort of jumped on the air. There's a bandwagon.

1618
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:02,720
Speaker 1: Now there's gonna be really good and you only added

1619
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Look, copp was great last week. There's no

1620
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:10,080
Speaker 1: doubt about that. Washington football team has got a defensive

1621
01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:13,679
Speaker 1: front that rivals anything that we've seen in quite some time.

1622
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 1: Chase Young, Ryan Carrigan, Montez Sweat, drom Pain. They've got

1623
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:20,960
Speaker 1: a million different guys that come at you. Jonathan Allen.

1624
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:24,080
Speaker 1: They are a house to fire up front. They will

1625
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 1: make things tough on Kyle Murin at Cardinals front. But

1626
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't think Washington's gonna be able to move the

1627
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:34,200
Speaker 1: ball enough. The Cardinals gonna win. This feels like twenty

1628
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:37,719
Speaker 1: three twenty seventeen fourteen. It won't be a lot of points,

1629
01:30:38,400 --> 01:30:40,160
Speaker 1: but it will be enough for the Cardinals to get

1630
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 1: to win. But for the Washington football team to get

1631
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:48,519
Speaker 1: the cover. They will get inside that seven point spread. However,

1632
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 1: they will lose to the Cardinals. All Right, Chiefs and Chargers.

1633
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:54,240
Speaker 1: Both AFC West teams won and oh we know what

1634
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 1: the chief did on Thursday night to the Texas. The

1635
01:30:56,200 --> 01:31:01,320
Speaker 1: Chargers miraculously got out of Cincinnati with a win. Joe

1636
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:04,360
Speaker 1: Burrow through what was supposed to be the game winning

1637
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:07,200
Speaker 1: touchdown passed AJ Green was called for pass interferrets. Then

1638
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:08,880
Speaker 1: they had to kick the game time field goal and

1639
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 1: Randy Bullock pushed it to the right win Chargers win.

1640
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:16,760
Speaker 1: I can't in good faith, even though the Chargers will

1641
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: open up their run at Sofi Stadium, I cannot give

1642
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:22,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers a win in any way, shape or form.

1643
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 1: I do think the Chargers defense will play pretty well

1644
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:28,320
Speaker 1: in this thing that I think will happen. I do

1645
01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:30,880
Speaker 1: think they'll put some pressure on Patrick Mahomes. I just

1646
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 1: don't know if the Chargers can move the ball well

1647
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:36,800
Speaker 1: enough on the Chiefs to make this thing a close game.

1648
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:38,920
Speaker 1: In the end of the Chargers maybe steal one that

1649
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 1: said Chargers do not win, but that eight and a

1650
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 1: half point spread feels pretty rich. I'm gonna give the

1651
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 1: Chargers to cover at home at SOFI, their new home,

1652
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:51,280
Speaker 1: to get inside the eight and a half to give

1653
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs the win and get them to two and

1654
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:57,599
Speaker 1: Oh Ravens take on the Texans. The Ravens are seven

1655
01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:02,040
Speaker 1: point road favorites. Favorite. Now, you know, I never go

1656
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:04,240
Speaker 1: against my heart in my head, so I'm always going

1657
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:06,280
Speaker 1: with the Texans. This will be a tough one, there's

1658
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:08,040
Speaker 1: no doubt. And we've talked plenty about it. We'll talk

1659
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:09,840
Speaker 1: a little bit about it through the rest of the show,

1660
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:14,719
Speaker 1: but I never picked against the Texans hearthead spread, straight up. Whatever,

1661
01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 1: can't do it. But Raven's a seven point favorite. Interesting,

1662
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:21,240
Speaker 1: and then your Sunday night game of all this is

1663
01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. The Patriots have not been out to

1664
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:28,440
Speaker 1: Seattle in eight years. In fact, it was Russell Wilson's

1665
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 1: rookie year in twenty twelve that the Patriots were last

1666
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:35,680
Speaker 1: out in Seattle, and the Patriots are now going out

1667
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:41,360
Speaker 1: there with Cam Newton. The Seahawks look good. Offensively, boy,

1668
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:44,759
Speaker 1: they look good. They did whatever they wanted to. Russell

1669
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:49,600
Speaker 1: Wilson thrown deep to DK Metcalf. That was Atlanta. This

1670
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 1: is the new England defense. It's a wee bit better,

1671
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:57,560
Speaker 1: but it's not the New England defensive last year. I

1672
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 1: think the Seahawks get to win. I think Russ has

1673
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:03,719
Speaker 1: another big night. I think Dk Metcalf going against Deefon

1674
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: Gilmour is worth the price of admission. And if that's

1675
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:08,960
Speaker 1: the case, I think Russell Wilson will throw it to

1676
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 1: his other weapons, including Greg Olsen at tight end. Take

1677
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:17,120
Speaker 1: the Seahawks to win and cover the four and then

1678
01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 1: Monday night then we can talk about this in one

1679
01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:20,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more later. But I got all my

1680
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:25,680
Speaker 1: predictions on the board. Raiders at home on a Monday night,

1681
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 1: open Allegiant Stadium, the Saints come calling. Boy, they couldn't

1682
01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 1: have had a more difficult opponent. The Saints defense trying

1683
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 1: to confuse Tom Brady did a nice job of that

1684
01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:39,680
Speaker 1: last week. They gotta go on the road play in

1685
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:42,719
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Now, if the fans were in a building

1686
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 1: and that would become the new black Hole, I might

1687
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:48,320
Speaker 1: give this one to the Raiders, but I think without

1688
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 1: that juice in the building, the Raiders will play well.

1689
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:56,040
Speaker 1: But New Orleans is just better. Pick New Orleans thirty seven,

1690
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,519
Speaker 1: thirty one that covers the five and a half Raiders.

1691
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:02,240
Speaker 1: Following one on one, Saints go to two and oh

1692
01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:05,719
Speaker 1: after that Monday Night, all right, we get back. We've

1693
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 1: got Drew Doughty with the final word, some other odds

1694
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 1: and ends. We'll go round in the league, tie things

1695
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 1: up and get ready for Sunday next. On Texans A Access,

1698

Speaker 1: How many times have you heard that one? More than once?

1699
01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:31,080
Speaker 1: I bet because it just adds up. For example, there

1700
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:33,560
Speaker 1: are two, not one, great reasons to fill up with

1701
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:38,400
Speaker 1: Chevron with Techron Number one unbeatable cleaning power and number two,

1702
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 1: or maybe this should be number one unbeatable mileage. Plus

1703
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 1: Chevron puts Techron in every grade every gallant of their gasoline.

1704
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:49,640
Speaker 1: So that's two, No, wait, three unbeatable reasons to go

1705
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:52,960

01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:10,720
Speaker 1: gonna be like suiting up and playing in front of

1791
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 1: the NRG Stadium faithful, even though the faithful won't really

1792
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:17,160
Speaker 1: be in the bowl there with you, It's gonna be great.

1793
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Finally got a home game. I wish

1794
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 1: there was fans there, just to see the great fans

1795
01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 1: of the Texans. And it's gonna be good, and it's

1796
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna be exciting. Everyone's gonna be pumpting though there's no

1797
01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 1: fans out there. I think Jess for us to be

1798
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:32,320
Speaker 1: home and have that home mentality type things and greatfuls.

1799
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 1: Last week, you have about one hundred ten yards rushing

1800
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:38,960
Speaker 1: receiving combined. A pretty productive output. You said, though wasn't

1801
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:41,639
Speaker 1: as an enjoyable because the Texans did not get to win.

1802
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:43,920
Speaker 1: On a personal level, what do you take from what

1803
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:45,880
Speaker 1: you were able to do against the Chiefs and how

1804
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 1: do you move it forward? Really just continue to get

1805
01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:50,439
Speaker 1: better from there. We ran the ball well. The line

1806
01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:52,720
Speaker 1: for me helped out a lot, made my job a

1807
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:55,320
Speaker 1: lot easier, I think for myself though I still had

1808
01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:57,240
Speaker 1: a couple of tackles I could have missed and got

1809
01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:00,800
Speaker 1: more yards for us to help out our offense. We're

1810
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:02,639
Speaker 1: all I think we did good on the run game.

1811
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:05,200
Speaker 1: And I think just for myself, that was the first game. Man,

1812
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:08,040
Speaker 1: that was the first game, no preseason or anything. So

1813
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:10,120
Speaker 1: I got a lot of hope and I can't wait

1814
01:41:10,160 --> 01:41:12,320
Speaker 1: to get going. Yeah, and that regard was there a

1815
01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:14,120
Speaker 1: little bit I don't want to say doubt, but just

1816
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:16,760
Speaker 1: question marks about what it's gonna be like with this

1817
01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:18,800
Speaker 1: new team. What I'm gonna be like as a player,

1818
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 1: you know in this situation. No, not at all. Man.

1819
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:24,559
Speaker 1: Our line is so good and there's so physical, such

1820
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:27,920
Speaker 1: big guys that they really make it easier for me

1821
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:30,640
Speaker 1: to run the ball. Yeah, let's stick with that. The

1822
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:33,840
Speaker 1: offensive line definitely gonna have its hands full against the

1823
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:36,960
Speaker 1: front seven from the Ravens. You as well in pass protection.

1824
01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:39,400
Speaker 1: But sticking with the O line in the run game,

1825
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:42,280
Speaker 1: what did they do well and what must they continue

1826
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:45,640
Speaker 1: against Baltimore on Sunday. Honestly, there's not too much within

1827
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:48,479
Speaker 1: the run game. I think the difficult thing with Baltimore

1828
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:51,040
Speaker 1: today that they just have so many different anxact fronts

1829
01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:53,840
Speaker 1: and so many different blitzes. That's what makes it tough

1830
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:56,479
Speaker 1: to block against those guys, and as long as we

1831
01:41:56,520 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: can figure out that while we were scouting against them,

1832
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 1: I think we'll be pretty good at the run game.

1833
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 1: Then what do you need to do in the receiving

1834
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 1: end of things? I think for me, the biggest thing

1835
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:07,880
Speaker 1: is to be more decisive, be more correct on my routes.

1836
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:10,200
Speaker 1: So Deshan knows what I'm doing, he can throw me

1837
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:12,240
Speaker 1: the ball. Some of those routes I had last week,

1838
01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:15,640
Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily make the good judgment. I guess on

1839
01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:18,680
Speaker 1: what to do, and you know, he didn't throw it

1840
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:20,840
Speaker 1: to me because of that. So I think just you know,

1841
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 1: improving on that aspect of being more decisive and knowing

1842
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:27,400
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm doing against certain coverages and stuff like that. Overall,

1843
01:42:27,479 --> 01:42:30,200
Speaker 1: how impressive is this Ravens defense you guys are gonna face.

1844
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is their exotic fronts. They're

1845
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:35,680
Speaker 1: different coverages they're disguising. Is gonna be the toughest thing

1846
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 1: to try to figure out. They have some big good

1847
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 1: guys up there, Klaius and Judean's a couple of other guys.

1848
01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:43,479
Speaker 1: Some young rookies are pretty good. But I think for

1849
01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:46,000
Speaker 1: us as an offense just figuring out what they're doing

1850
01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:48,439
Speaker 1: up front, or at least have a little bit more

1851
01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:51,960
Speaker 1: recognizing what they're gonna do. David Johnson, always great to

1852
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:54,200
Speaker 1: talk with you. Best of luck on Sunday in your

1853
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:57,200
Speaker 1: home debut is a Houston Texan. Thank you, thanks for

1854
01:42:57,240 --> 01:43:00,040
Speaker 1: having me. Cannot wait to see the home debut of

1855
01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:06,120
Speaker 1: David Johnson against his vaunted Ravens defense facing his old

1856
01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:09,920
Speaker 1: teammate Klais Campbell. Now I say vaunted, but yet the

1857
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:13,599
Speaker 1: Ravens gave up a bunch of yards last week against

1858
01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 1: the run, and that was to a Browns team that

1859
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:20,120
Speaker 1: I think is good on the ground. Nick Chubb's very

1860
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:21,760
Speaker 1: very good. I don't know if the offensive line is great,

1861
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 1: but they gave up one hundred and thirty eight yards

1862
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:26,479
Speaker 1: and ground to the Browns. What they did defensively through

1863
01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 1: the air's different story. They gave up a hundred and

1864
01:43:28,120 --> 01:43:30,519
Speaker 1: sixty eight yards. So if you're going to move the ball,

1865
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:32,800
Speaker 1: you probably had an opportunity to do it on the ground. Now,

1866
01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:34,360
Speaker 1: the Texas move the ball in the ground against the

1867
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:37,320
Speaker 1: Ravens last year a little later than they wanted to.

1868
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:38,840
Speaker 1: Had they been able to move the ball in the

1869
01:43:38,880 --> 01:43:41,559
Speaker 1: ground earlier, put some points on the board earlier. Who

1870
01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:45,960
Speaker 1: knows that thing? Does a snowball from seven to nothing?

1871
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:49,200
Speaker 1: Early does a snowball to forty one to seven? Maybe

1872
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:51,600
Speaker 1: it stays closer and the run game keeps you in it,

1873
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 1: And I would hope that's going to be the case

1874
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 1: this year. But I think, what the speed you have

1875
01:43:56,120 --> 01:44:00,360
Speaker 1: a receiver, I think you have to find a allance.

1876
01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:02,120
Speaker 1: But if you have to rely on David Johnson and

1877
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:03,599
Speaker 1: get it done, I think he's the kind of guy

1878
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:06,680
Speaker 1: that could get it done. And Duke Johnson is questionable

1879
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:09,400
Speaker 1: for this game. My gut says that he's not gonna play.

1880
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:11,439
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a lot of David Johnson and

1881
01:44:11,720 --> 01:44:15,439
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. Will this one on Sunday be

1882
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:19,320
Speaker 1: one of the great home openers that we've seen. I

1883
01:44:19,400 --> 01:44:22,840
Speaker 1: went back and I looked at the history of the

1884
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:25,880
Speaker 1: Texans in home openers, and of course in two thousand

1885
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 1: and two, it doesn't get any better than David Carter,

1886
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:33,400
Speaker 1: Billy Miller, sack for safety by Gary Walker and Seth

1887
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:36,080
Speaker 1: Payne and beating the Cowboys nineteen to ten. I mean,

1888
01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:38,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to things that we talked about a

1889
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:40,559
Speaker 1: lot in the offseason, Hey, was this the greatest win?

1890
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:42,799
Speaker 1: Was this the best win? Was this the best opener?

1891
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:45,560
Speaker 1: Was this the best player, the best best that. You

1892
01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:47,680
Speaker 1: really just take that two thousand and two opener and

1893
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:48,920
Speaker 1: you just kind of put it up on a shelf

1894
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:51,360
Speaker 1: and say, look, everything else we're talking about goes on

1895
01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:54,599
Speaker 1: shelf two and below, because shelf one is occupied by

1896
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and two Dallas Cowboys v. Houston Texans and

1897
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:00,720
Speaker 1: everything that went with it. Everything. It was probably the

1898
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:03,679
Speaker 1: loudest game. People have told me that when they talked

1899
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 1: to me. They tell me all the time, Yeah, that

1900
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:09,000
Speaker 1: was the loudest game that we had ever been to,

1901
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:13,000
Speaker 1: and I don't think one has topped it now. Twenty

1902
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:18,080
Speaker 1: fourteen Colts game got close. Last year's went over Buffalo

1903
01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:21,439
Speaker 1: in the wildcard round got closer. But people tell me

1904
01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:22,800
Speaker 1: I had two thousand and two. No, I wasn't here

1905
01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 1: for that one, But people say, that was just an

1906
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:27,720
Speaker 1: extraordinary night. That goes up on the shelf. That's number one.

1907
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:30,240
Speaker 1: That's Hall of Fame stuff. That was just fantastic. But

1908
01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 1: Texas didn't win a home opener for the next four

1909
01:45:33,160 --> 01:45:35,719
Speaker 1: years thousand and three till the four sells five tons

1910
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:38,920
Speaker 1: and six all home openers. Ah Now they won the

1911
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:40,760
Speaker 1: opener in two thousand and three, they used to win

1912
01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 1: the home opener. It took until two thousand and seven

1913
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:46,600
Speaker 1: when the Texans won their next home opener, and that

1914
01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:49,920
Speaker 1: was against the Kansas City Chiefs. That was my first

1915
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:52,960
Speaker 1: game I ever saw at an Energy stadium and I

1916
01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:55,320
Speaker 1: didn't get there until halftime though, because I've been in

1917
01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge the night before watching LSU in Virginia. Tech

1918
01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:00,800
Speaker 1: our radio stations sent us to Baton Rouge Friday. He

1919
01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:04,719
Speaker 1: was lightning, sun, thunderstorm. Then we're there for Saturday doing pregame,

1920
01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:07,160
Speaker 1: kind our own version of college game Day, and then

1921
01:46:07,200 --> 01:46:09,599
Speaker 1: we were there for the game. We didn't get out

1922
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:11,080
Speaker 1: of there until like two thirty in the morning, so

1923
01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:13,479
Speaker 1: we went back and slept, got back and we're like, man,

1924
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:15,400
Speaker 1: we gotta get the Texans game, and we just hauled it.

1925
01:46:15,560 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 1: We got there for the second half and the Texans

1926
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 1: got that work done, got a twenty three win. That's

1927
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:23,560
Speaker 1: not like much, but starting off the year over a

1928
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:26,360
Speaker 1: team like the Chiefs twenty to three, it's a good

1929
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 1: way to start, and it was a good way to

1930
01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:29,719
Speaker 1: start two thousand and seven. But they didn't win another

1931
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:33,720
Speaker 1: home opener until two ten. And if there's a home

1932
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:36,479
Speaker 1: opener and that people remember and Mark and I talked

1933
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:39,840
Speaker 1: about this a lot games with names. If you say,

1934
01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:43,960
Speaker 1: tell me something about and then you put the year

1935
01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 1: and the name of the team. So if you say

1936
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:51,679
Speaker 1: to me anything from twenty fourteen on and you say

1937
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:55,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen Rams game, and I'll be like,

1938
01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 1: Clowney dominated, but the deep ball was a killer to

1939
01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:01,799
Speaker 1: Robert Woods for night. I can tell you something about

1940
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:08,080
Speaker 1: anything that happened twenty ten and Colts. You know what follows.

1941
01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:10,559
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, the Arian Foster game. Yes, two hundred

1942
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:14,479
Speaker 1: and thirty three yards rushing, three touchdowns and the Texans

1943
01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:18,120
Speaker 1: old line stuck it right up the cold tiny's I mean,

1944
01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:24,040
Speaker 1: just hammered him all game long. And this seemingly unknown

1945
01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:29,519
Speaker 1: running back Arian Foster just went off and he would

1946
01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 1: be for the next five years, best next five seasons,

1947
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,040
Speaker 1: one of the best running backs, most virst running backs

1948
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:38,400
Speaker 1: in the entire NFL. And it started on that day

1949
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:40,639
Speaker 1: in two thousand and ten. Now, people that know the story,

1950
01:47:40,720 --> 01:47:42,880
Speaker 1: no one goes back in two thousand and nine, But really,

1951
01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:48,000
Speaker 1: what guide everybody's attention was beating Peyton Manning. With Arian

1952
01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:51,120
Speaker 1: Foster on the ground, that zone running game just took off.

1953
01:47:51,360 --> 01:47:55,680
Speaker 1: The offensive line had found itself with Dwayne Brown and

1954
01:47:55,880 --> 01:48:00,479
Speaker 1: Chester I'm sorry, Wade Smith and Chris Myers and Mike

1955
01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:04,200
Speaker 1: Brizell Biscuit and Eric Winston. That was a line that

1956
01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 1: they had been looking They've been building it for a while.

1957
01:48:06,439 --> 01:48:10,599
Speaker 1: They finally got it right and they dominated. And when

1958
01:48:10,640 --> 01:48:14,120
Speaker 1: anybody ever says twenty ten Colts, oh, Aaron Foster game,

1959
01:48:14,200 --> 01:48:17,759
Speaker 1: that's immediately what comes up. Well after that, the Texans

1960
01:48:18,160 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 1: beat the coltson eleven, they beat the Dolphins in twelve,

1961
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:24,240
Speaker 1: they beat the Titans in thirteen, and then they beat

1962
01:48:24,280 --> 01:48:27,840
Speaker 1: the Redskins in fourteen. So they won five home openers

1963
01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:30,400
Speaker 1: in a row. And that fifth one was my first

1964
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:33,280
Speaker 1: one down on the sideline and it was against the

1965
01:48:33,320 --> 01:48:36,800
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins. It was also Bill o'bryant's first game, and

1966
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:39,479
Speaker 1: in that game, it was my first down on the sidelines.

1967
01:48:39,479 --> 01:48:42,040
Speaker 1: And we had done four preseason games, so I had

1968
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:44,720
Speaker 1: the process down a little bit, but I was amped up, man,

1969
01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:47,679
Speaker 1: I was geeked up. I was ready to go. So excited. Felly.

1970
01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:49,800
Speaker 1: We were having a good broadcast and then somewhere in

1971
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:56,280
Speaker 1: the third quarter, this massive, horrendous thunderstorm hit and knocked

1972
01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:58,960
Speaker 1: out our broadcast, knocked our broadcasts off there because it's

1973
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:03,080
Speaker 1: shut the power down. And I was like, what's going on?

1974
01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:06,320
Speaker 1: So it was our line to the station so I

1975
01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:09,000
Speaker 1: could still hear what was going on up in the booth,

1976
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:12,559
Speaker 1: and Mark VanderMeer told me, and I had known him

1977
01:49:12,600 --> 01:49:14,479
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I'd gotten to know him over

1978
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 1: the months prior to that game. We were working with

1979
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 1: the Texas for the first time, and he was like, oh,

1980
01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:21,360
Speaker 1: I've got a streak in me. I gotta streak in me.

1981
01:49:21,400 --> 01:49:23,080
Speaker 1: And I was kind of like marketing the nicest guy

1982
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:25,800
Speaker 1: anybody's ever met. I found out that day Mark had

1983
01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:29,040
Speaker 1: a streak in him. He was I rate that we

1984
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:33,120
Speaker 1: couldn't get back on the air, Oh my gosh. And

1985
01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:34,960
Speaker 1: it was so funny because he was trying to get it.

1986
01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know what's going on because I can't

1987
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:40,000
Speaker 1: see outside. I can only see those little winners, kind

1988
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:41,639
Speaker 1: of like you guys inside you can't. You can see

1989
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. But all of a sudden, I here

1990
01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:47,040
Speaker 1: Andrea come on and say, hey, Johnny, we get a

1991
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:49,680
Speaker 1: huge thunderstorm and knocked us off the air, and then

1992
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:51,519
Speaker 1: Dre and I just started talking for the next ten

1993
01:49:51,560 --> 01:49:53,400
Speaker 1: to twelve minutes, just kind of talking about what was

1994
01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:56,599
Speaker 1: happening during the game, what was happening. We talked about

1995
01:49:56,600 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 1: things in the commercials, you know, different things that were

1996
01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:00,640
Speaker 1: happening in the stadium, and we really got a chance

1997
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 1: to know each other during that whole whole instance. We

1998
01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:05,280
Speaker 1: got back on the air, we're able to broadcast the

1999
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:07,639
Speaker 1: rest of the game. But it's one of my favorite stories.

2000
01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:10,920
Speaker 1: You gotta say. It was my fan of mair losing

2001
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:14,000
Speaker 1: it when we went off the air, So that's probably

2002
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:17,360
Speaker 1: my favorite home opener. But the Texas won two to

2003
01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:20,120
Speaker 1: the last four they won. In twenty sixteen, they beat

2004
01:50:20,160 --> 01:50:24,439
Speaker 1: the Bears. That was will Fuller's introduction to Houston, had

2005
01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:27,000
Speaker 1: himself a little tunnel streen that he scored on. And

2006
01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:29,960
Speaker 1: then after a tough one in seventeen after Harvey, after

2007
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:34,280
Speaker 1: losing mysteriously to the Giants eighteen, the Texans looked like

2008
01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:37,519
Speaker 1: they had it under control against the Jags, dominating much

2009
01:50:37,520 --> 01:50:39,920
Speaker 1: of the game, but they had to hold on late.

2010
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:44,040
Speaker 1: Will they justin Reid stop at the goal line on

2011
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:48,040
Speaker 1: a two point conversion, as the Texans won thirteen to twelve.

2012
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:52,560
Speaker 1: So where will this home opener fall? Will it be

2013
01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:56,639
Speaker 1: one that we remember like twenty ten, like twenty fourteen,

2014
01:50:57,720 --> 01:50:59,760
Speaker 1: like even last year. I don't care. If it comes

2015
01:50:59,800 --> 01:51:01,680
Speaker 1: down a two point conversion again and we stopped and

2016
01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:04,240
Speaker 1: win three to two, I don't care, And I don't

2017
01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:07,320
Speaker 1: know if that can't happen obviously, but thirteen to twelve,

2018
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:09,479
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the Texans win ugly,

2019
01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:12,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's just about the winning part in

2020
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:17,640
Speaker 1: this game. I know from last year there were the

2021
01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:21,600
Speaker 1: way it went down at Baltimore and how systematically destructive

2022
01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:26,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore was to us that week. It left a stain

2023
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:28,960
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. I think we all tried

2024
01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:31,080
Speaker 1: to forget it, but we knew we'd see him again

2025
01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:33,799
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and it would take place at Energy Stadium.

2026
01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:36,519
Speaker 1: We hope they would be with fans. It won't be

2027
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:39,360
Speaker 1: with fans, but hopefully the Texans will play with that

2028
01:51:39,560 --> 01:51:42,200
Speaker 1: spirit of every Texans fan that could possibly be in

2029
01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:45,000
Speaker 1: that building with them. They're gonna need it, They're gonna

2030
01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:46,639
Speaker 1: need to play the game. They're gonna need to take

2031
01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:48,680
Speaker 1: their play speed up a notch. They're gonna need to

2032
01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:51,240
Speaker 1: take the intensity up a notch. They're gonna need to

2033
01:51:51,280 --> 01:51:53,800
Speaker 1: take tackling up a notch. They're gonna need to take

2034
01:51:53,880 --> 01:51:57,560
Speaker 1: everything up three notches. Can they do that against the

2035
01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:01,920
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen MVP and give the Ravens their first regular

2036
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:05,120
Speaker 1: season loss since all the way back to Week four

2037
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:08,680
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen. Can the Texans be that team? Not

2038
01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:11,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people think they can do it. We

2039
01:52:11,439 --> 01:52:14,599
Speaker 1: think they can do it. Three twenty five, it's kickoff time,

2040
01:52:14,840 --> 01:52:18,120
Speaker 1: It's Ravens, It's Texans. Let's go. Appreciate all of you
