1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody. Welcome to a money edition of 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Texans All Access from the Hunday Texans Radio Studio inside 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: and RG Stadium. I'm your host, John Harris Football Annals, 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: a salary reporter, and coming to you a day after 5 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: thirty to twenty three loss to the Indianapolis Colts, third 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: loss in a row to the Colts. Another gut punch, 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: a game that had opportunities throughout and could not capitalize, 8 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: and it was a frustrating game on a lot of 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: different levels. If I had told you going in, you're 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: gonna hold the Colts to sixty two yards rushing, If 11 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: somebody had told me that, I would said we'll win 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: by two touchdowns. But that didn't that didn't come to fruition. 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: If I had told you that a Colts quarterback through 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: four touchdowns, one of those obviously being a screen pass, 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 1: but then whatever I would have said, Poy Andrew Luck 16 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: come back. Oh look, I think Jacoby Brissette is a 17 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: young ride quarterback, but he's got a lot of weapons, 18 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: and he's got a really good offensive line, and in 19 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: man coverage yesterday he did not have to make a 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: difficult throw all day. Go back and watch the tape. 21 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: There's not a difficult throw he had to make all 22 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: day long. That said, not gonna take anything away. He 23 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: got banged up. Texans beat him up yesterday. They got 24 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: back there a few times. They ended up with eight 25 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: quarterback hits. JJ has had six of them. JJ was 26 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: a phenomenal watch. Six quarterback hits. He had six of 27 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: the eight. The Colts they had six quarterback hits, four 28 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: of them from a Houston, justin Houston. But it was 29 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: missed opportunity after missed opportunity, and it started on the 30 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: first drive and it continued all the way through the 31 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: interception at the very end. It was always oh man, yeah, 32 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: off the field out there, there's a penalty. Oh man, 33 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: we just got and then got stopped in the red zone. 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: All touchdown, Hopkins, he's in the grasp. It was just 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: that kind of day all day. And there are things 36 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: to clean up, there are things to do better, and 37 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: the Texans unfortunately did not get those things done on 38 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: Sunday against the Annapolis Colts. But in a month from 39 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: today November twenty first Thursday night, now there are three 40 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: ball games before that Raiders Home Jags, London Ravens in Baltimore. 41 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 1: None of those are gonna be easy. None of those 42 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: are gonna be easy. And then you got the Colts 43 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: a month from now. So there's no glossing over any 44 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: of those games to get to the Colts on a 45 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: Thursday night. But I guarantee you that that loss will 46 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: sting just because the Texans didn't play at a high level, 47 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: they didn't execute at a high level. There were moments 48 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: of brilliance in that game. The five play seventy five 49 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: yard drive in a minute forty three when it was 50 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: twenty one to nine and went down for a touchdown. Brilliant, 51 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: I mean bing, bang, boom, tempo touchdown. It went from 52 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: it was fourteen to nine. It took them forever to score. 53 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: We go down a minute forty five, bang touchdown, twenty 54 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: one sixteen. They're like, whoa, they never flinched. I'll give 55 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: them credit, they never flinched, not at all. All Right, 56 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: we got John McClain on the show tonight, We got 57 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: Andre Ware on the show tonight. But we're gonna start 58 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: off with some hot reads brought to you by Geico. 59 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: Fifteen minutes, could say you're fifteen percent or more on 60 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: car insurance now on a Monday. The hot rates to me, 61 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: I'd like to go around the NFL. What happened around 62 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: the league yes third day now Thursday night, you know 63 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: what happened with the Chiefs and the Broncos. So let's 64 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: start in Atlanta where Jalen Ramsey was making his initial 65 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: appearance for the La Rams. And something must have clicked 66 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: because the Rams got off the schneide. The Rams were 67 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: three and three, had started three and oh lost three 68 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: in a row. And this one really was about Jared 69 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: Goff twenty two to thirty seven for two hundred and 70 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: sixty eight yards and two touchdowns, and he dropped a 71 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: dime on Todd Gurley for a thirteen yard touchdown. And 72 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan gets injured, sacked five times against the Rams. 73 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: But Jayleen Ramsy making out appearance for the Rams that 74 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: could end up kind of flipping things that gave them 75 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. Rams yesterday didn't do a whole lot. 76 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: Didn't throw the ball at him all that much. He 77 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: had four tackles and he did have a forced fumble 78 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: for the Rams. But man Dante Fowler, the other Jag 79 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: that is now with the Rams, three sacks of Matt 80 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: Ryan yesterday. Rams win big, thirty seven to ten in Atlanta, 81 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: and Atlanta is not looking good. This one was a 82 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: lot closer than people expect. This is seventeen point spread. 83 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: And I gave this one to you perfectly. I told 84 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: you Buffalo win, but not by seventeen. They're not at 85 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: that point yet. They can win a game, They're not 86 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: gonna win by seventeen. But the Bills beat the Dolphins 87 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: thirty one to twenty one, and within twenty four to 88 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: twenty one, and right Fitzpatrick's scoring an eleven yard run 89 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: in a building he had owned a few years ago, 90 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: cut within three the ensuing on sidekick with one thirty 91 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: eight left, Micah Hyde took it back to the house 92 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: to give the Bills a thirty one twenty one win. 93 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: And don't look now, but the Buffalo Bills are five 94 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: and one. You can argue you haven't beaten anybody, but 95 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: they probably played the Patriots as well as anybody has 96 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: this year. Speaking of undefeated, well, the Dolphins don't have 97 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: a win and the Bengals don't have a win, so 98 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: they're not undefeated. They're defeated an the way. They got 99 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: defeated again on Sunday as the Jaguars score eighteen in 100 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Down ten to nine going into that 101 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, the Jags turn up the heat a little bit. 102 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: Keelan Cole touchdown catch, Yannikin Cockway a pick six, a 103 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: field goal that got into twenty seven to ten, bing 104 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: bang boom. Andy Dalton scored to make a twenty seven 105 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: to seventeen, but it was over as the Jags get 106 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: a win in Cincinnati. Leonard Fournette twenty nine carries, one 107 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one yards, no touchdowns, but controlled the 108 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: clock as Gardner Minshew threw for two fifty five and 109 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: a touch against the Bengals, the Jags moved to three 110 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: and four. Vikings oh boy, don't look now, but mister 111 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: guaranteed money Kirk Cousins and tearing it up three hundred 112 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: yards and over three hundred yards and four touchdowns. I 113 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: think that's the third game in a row ever since 114 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: the Vikings last lost. And I'm trying to remember who 115 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: beat them, but Adam DeLand and Stefan Diggs were just 116 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: crying up a storm. Well, DeLand didn't have a ton 117 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: to do with this win over the Lions, but he 118 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: did have a touchdown catch one catch twenty five yards, 119 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs caught seven passes one hundred and forty two yards, 120 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: and Dalvin Cook at one hundred and forty two yards rushing. 121 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: Because it's the story, three hundred thirty seven yards, four touchdowns. 122 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: They beat Detroit and Detroit and the Vikings are now 123 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: five and two with an offense. Believe that Aaron Rodgers 124 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: was perfect, absolutely stone cold perfect passerrating one fifty eight 125 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: point three four hundred twenty nine passing yards, five touchdowns, 126 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: five to five different receivers, Jimmy Graham, Aaron Jones, Jamal Williams, 127 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: Marcus Voltez, Scantling, and Jake Kumero. Aaron Rodgers gets to 128 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: win over the Texas next opponent, the Oakland Raiders. Raiders 129 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: follow the three and three Packers, now six and one. 130 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: How about this story in Arizona. The Arizona Cardinals are 131 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: now three three and one after starting oh three and one, 132 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: wondering when Cliff Kingsbury was gonna get a win. He's 133 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: gotten three in a row. And the story in this 134 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: one is not David Johnson, but it's Chase Edmonds from Fordham, Fordham, 135 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: and you know that it's in New York City twenty 136 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: seven and one, twenty six on the ground and three 137 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns three Kyle Ronning only three four hundred and 138 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: four rainy day, bad weather, one hundred and twenty six 139 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: yards for Chase Edmonds. But how about this. On the 140 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: defensive side, the Cards had eight seven eight four of those. 141 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones he had a day and a half, one 142 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: of those being a strip sack. Patrick Peterson, he came back, 143 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: played his first game after being spend it for six games. 144 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: He had a sack and also a forced funnel that 145 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: was big late in the game. And that was it. 146 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: Twenty seven to twenty one. The Cardinals go to three, 147 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: three and one. How about that the Cardinals are a 148 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: field goal against the lines away from being four and 149 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: three and tie with the Rams.

Big day 159 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: for the passing game at Tennessee. Derrick Henry picks up 160 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: ninety on the ground. Chargers couldn't stop running water right now. 161 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: The Titans go to three and four. As a Chargers 162 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: fall to two and five. The Saints hammered the Bans. 163 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: I'll let you do the math, but the Saints are 164 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: six and one, and that's five in a row for 165 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater as the starting quarterback.

Whenever you see 171 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky throw the ball fifty four times, Bears fans 172 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: panic because you ran it seven times for seventeen yards, 173 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: seven times for seventeen yards. That's not Chicago Bears football, 174 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: at least, I don't think it is. Maybe it doesn't 175 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: seem like it should be, but my goodness, Saints thirty 176 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: six twenty five Saints six and one Bears to three 177 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: and three. The one that shocked me more than any 178 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: other was this one. I thought for sure the Seahawks 179 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: would take care of business against the Baltimore Ravens. Not 180 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: only did the Seahawks not through that, they lost by 181 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, two touchdowns two defensive back scoring touchdowns. Marcus 182 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: Peters had to pick six and Marlon Humphrey picked up 183 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: a fumble by dk Metcalfter rookie at Old Miss for 184 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: a touchdown that ended up being a difference. But really 185 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,239 Speaker 1: the difference in this game was a Lamar Jackson touchdown. 186 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: It was fourth and two and the Ravens were about 187 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: to kick a field goal. Lamar was unhappy. John Harball 188 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: looked at him and said, did you want to go 189 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: for it? He goes heck, yeah, I want to go 190 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: for it. Well, let's get it. Then Hardball, turning off 191 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: its coordinator Greg Roman, said can we get this? Okay 192 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: called time out, but Lamarni offense back on the field. 193 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: Jackson ran it broke through a hole. He can get 194 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: just a two. He got eight yards a game and 195 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: a touchdown, and that would give them a twenty to 196 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: thirteen lead. The Ravens would not look back. The Ravens 197 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: are now five and two, along the Seahawks five and two, 198 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys beating up the Eagles thirty seven to ten. 199 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: Even though Doug Peterson guaranteed win, that did not happen 200 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: on this day. All right, there's year around in the NFL. 201 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: In our hot Red's coming up next to General John 202 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: McClain right here on Texans All Access.

Your Texans 217 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: Beat yesterday, thirty to twenty three Up in Indianapolis, Colt 218 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: Smooth first place in the ANFC South Texas half a 219 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: game behind at the Oakland Raiders coming in on Sunday. 220 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: We will all be there, including our good friend from 221 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: the Houston Chronicle to General John McClain. He joined us 222 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: this morning, So your thoughts on what you saw yesterday, 223 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: give us a breakdown. If Kikiqt had been able to 224 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: catch that last pass that he bobbled and was intercepted, 225 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: they would have been on the thirty something yard line 226 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: and add at least a couple of shots to the 227 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: end zone. So as bad as they played in the 228 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: red zone in the first half and in the secondary 229 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: because of the injuries and let Jacoby Present just bombard 230 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: them for career highs and yards touchdowns, pass the rating, 231 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: they had a chance right up until the end. And 232 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: I was watching all the highlights shows last night and 233 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: a couple of them mentioned when's the last time he 234 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: saw a quarterback called in the grasp, and they couldn't 235 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: remember because it don't you don't see it anymore. And 236 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, it's hard to argue with the officials explanation. 237 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: We're trying to protect you, and as we know, they're 238 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: all gonna always going to air on the side of caution. 239 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: So despite does issues, they could have won that game 240 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: and and but they didn't, and now they go from 241 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: first place, they could have taken control of it to 242 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: a half game out of first place. All AFC South 243 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: teams won, but the Texans, well, John I will argue 244 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: with the officials explanation because if they're trying to protect him, 245 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: then why are they not calling a flag on Leonard 246 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: coming in after the ball is gone with a big 247 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: vicious hit on Watson, I mean down? Is that if 248 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: he's actually down at that point before the ball is thrown, 249 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: then that's a late hit on this Darius Leonard. It's 250 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: it's a weird deal. You probably don't have the answer 251 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: to it, so well, of course I don't have the answer, 252 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: but it's a great point. You know, they blew the 253 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: whistle of the place dead, so would be a dead 254 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: ball foul. John defensively a man, I don't even know 255 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: where to start defensively, but I do know where to start, 256 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: and that's in the secondary. And I made this comment 257 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: a little while ago, the fact that the most senior 258 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: member in the billing from that perspective, after Jjo, goes 259 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: out as Lonnie Johnson and he's been here since April. 260 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: That's how That's how thin that group was. So they 261 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: played a lot of man coverage yesterday. In the fourth quarter. 262 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: It seemed like they kind of got things going a 263 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: little bit and they held the Colts to four points. 264 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: They got them three and ounce when they needed to. 265 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: But John, it feels like it's feast or famine for 266 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: that defense, in large part because of the secondary. Do 267 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: you think there's an answer on the trade market. What 268 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: do you think happens in the secondary going forward? And 269 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: what do you think they can do to improve it 270 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: going forward. I'm writing today for tomorrow that they've been 271 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: getting bombarded by quarterbacks all season, the good ones, but 272 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: they've been able to withstand that assault. You know, they 273 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: lost Braize, could have won. Then they beat Rivers Ryan 274 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: and Rolmes despite giving up a lot of yards and touchdowns, 275 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: but they couldn't do it with Brazil because they lost 276 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: too many players. Me Philip Game, who was signed off 277 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: the street. I don't know if he's done for the season, 278 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: but it looked ugly when he got carted off. Keon Crossing, 279 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: who's supposed to be a special teams player, he had 280 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: to play. We has Bill O'Brien after the game, what 281 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: would happen if he'd had to gone back on the field, 282 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: and he said, where we have a plan in that situation. 283 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: In other words, they'd have to play more safeties. But 284 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: even to Sean Gibson, who played with the risk injury 285 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: last week in Kansas City, he couldn't come back Jay Joe. 286 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: They never announced his injury in the press box. That 287 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: looked like he was his shoulder, not the hamstring that 288 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: had kept him out of the previous game. And I 289 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: wrote last week, I would be stunned if Bill O'Brien 290 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: doesn't trade for a corner. They were, what does he 291 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: have to trade? And they got Seattle's third round pick 292 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: and that could be expendable because it looks like they 293 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: get threes for Tyron Matthew and Karen Jackson, so they'd 294 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: have two confence, Tory picks a guy like say Chris 295 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: Harris Junior, who covers slot receivers and has been one 296 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: of the best slot corners in the league for a 297 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: long time. Even though he's in the last year of 298 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: his contract, he's thirty years old. They're trying to win 299 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: the division a guy like that, even if you get 300 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: him just for the rest of this year, you know 301 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: they need him. Bradley Roby, I don't think he'll be 302 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: back before the buy nauger about j Joe's injury and 303 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: Lonnie Johnson keeps playing better and better, but they got 304 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: big time injury issues at corner, and I don't know 305 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: what the answer is. Second year in a row they've 306 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries at corner and had to 307 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: sign guys off the street and try to get them 308 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: in the game. Is amazing they're doing as well as 309 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: they are. I'm having trouble filling out a lineup card 310 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: here in the secondary tomorrow baseball term. I mean, I'm 311 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: looking at who they have available, and yeah, they got 312 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: to make some moves this week unless some of these 313 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: guys are coming back earlier than we expect, so we'll see. 314 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you imagined trade possibility. Could you get Chris 315 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: Harris for a three time? Before I heard they could 316 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: get him for a four? Maybe? Really that's what I heard. 317 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: Now that you know it's rumor, but let John put 318 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: John said it. He's thirty years older than the last 319 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: year of his contract, so you can afford it, and 320 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: I think from a trade capital standpoint, you can afford 321 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: it as well. But man, you gotta have somebody that 322 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,479 Speaker 1: can cover, especially if you're gonna play that much man 323 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: to man coverage, John, you need to have somebody like it. 324 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: Chris Harris, that's one guy. I mean, who knows. We 325 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: didn't think Laramy Tunsll was possible and that happened, So 326 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: who knows what might materialize over the next few days. 327 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: But it's a very important next few days because of Look, 328 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: you've got a really you've got a good defensive front. 329 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: You've got a really good defensive front. But you got 330 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: to be able to cover somebody. And now you know 331 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: what the Colts can do to you if you don't 332 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: have it covered the back end, John, what do you 333 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 1: think of the Raiders coming in here? Is they just 334 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: gave up a whole lot to the Green Bay Packers 335 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: on the road fake ser did Daron Rodgers counted for 336 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: was a four and twenty nine yards and six touchdowns 337 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: including time passing and Derek Carr his stats look good, 338 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: but he had a couple of bad to say is, 339 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: including an interception, and so I would imagine that their 340 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: cars linking his lips over a chance to to go 341 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: against the Texans secondary. Texans defense has done a great 342 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: job against the run. Here comes rookie Josh Jacobs with 343 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: the Raider. He's been real good, but they've been They 344 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: totally shut down Marlon make yesterday. So the run defense, 345 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: I believe is third now and over the last five 346 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: games it has been tremendous. So I'm thinking they're gonna 347 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: shut down the Raiders, forced Car to pass and it'll 348 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: come down to Watson versus Car. Texans running game has 349 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: been stopped twice this year, once by the Chargers when 350 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: they won, and then by by the Colts, and it 351 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: never really got started and when and they the Colts 352 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,959 Speaker 1: were there to stop the run inside, so they had 353 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 1: to make some adjustments. They tried to. By then it 354 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: was too late because they had to throw the ball 355 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: a lot. So I think they'll beat the Raiders. I 356 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: thought they'd beat the Colts. Yeah, I mean, that's I mean, 357 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: it was funny because I had such a good feeling 358 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: about going to Kansas City, but I had to sort 359 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: of pit in my stomach about Indianapolis. That's that's just 360 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: you being healthy and intuitive, knowing that this is always 361 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a tough game. It is. We talked about 362 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: a one score game, tough game. John, What about the 363 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: Titans yesterday and what they were able to do against 364 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Ryan danny Hill had a really good game, 365 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: greeted with a big ovation by the fans just because 366 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: he's not Marcus Mariota. But at the end of that game, 367 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: in the last minute, Chargers thought he had two touchdowns. 368 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: Officials gave them two touchdowns. Replay over will Boat and 369 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: on their last play Melvin Gordon couldn't get a foot 370 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: any fumbled, So I don't know why they kemp handing 371 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: the ball off. They should have let Rivers throw. But 372 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: the Titans played great defense, they came away with the victory, 373 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: and the Chargers were just u done that they couldn't 374 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: get it in. Melvin Gordon, who had one of the 375 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: worst holdouts in history. He certainly isn't enhancing his chance 376 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: to be traded or get a big contract because he's 377 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: been terrible. John. What's the future of dan Quinn in Atlanta? 378 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: And I hate this for him because I know he's 379 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: a great guy and I know people in the building 380 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: love him in Atlanta. Well, what's his future for the Falcons? 381 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: Not for long. They've been terrible since they lost that 382 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl game and then ERG Stadium to the Patriots, 383 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: blew it in the fourth quarter and lost in overtime, 384 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: and they look like they quit on him. And I 385 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: think man Ryan may be heard. So I feel terrible 386 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: for dan Quinn. Is a great guy, but maybe a 387 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: good another chance somewhere else could be match shop taking 388 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: over John. The Jags got it done yesterday against the Beccas. 389 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about that game, but this division. 390 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: Let me just zoom out here for a moment. How 391 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: good do you think the Colts really are or can be? 392 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: How much of a threat down the line is this 393 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: as they occupy the first place for the moment. I 394 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: still think the Jaxsons is the best team. I think 395 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: they'll beat him in Euston. I think that the Colts 396 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: are getting the maximum out of their players. They're well coached. 397 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: Mattyberflers maybe the best defensive coordinator in the league that 398 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: people don't know about. It's probably going to help him 399 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: get a head coaching job. And remember he was hired 400 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: by Josh McDaniels in that short period in which he 401 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: was the head coach before he took off went back 402 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: to the Patriots and they hired Frank Reich, which worked 403 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: out great. So they don't make a lot of mistakes. 404 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: They went into the game they had committed the fewest 405 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: penalties for the fewest jars, and it showed they don't 406 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: hurt themselves. They had that one turnover on the drop 407 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: snap Roza gets he gets protected well, although J. J. 408 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: Watt knocked him down six times, and he played a 409 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: lot better than I thought he was. I was opposite 410 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: to John. I had a bad dealing going to Kansas 411 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: City and a good feeling going Indie. Yeah, it looked 412 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: like my feelings went out John. The Ravens go out 413 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: to Seattle. John. I thought that Seattle was one of 414 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: the better teams in the league. I've seen what they 415 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: did to the Rams and the way they've been winning games. 416 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: Where Russell Wilson is playing and Lamar Jackson doesn't have 417 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: a great day throwing it, but he ran it really well. 418 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: But Russell Wilson have a great game and he throws 419 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: the pick six to Marcus Peters, who had just played 420 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: up there like a week and a half ago. I'm 421 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: not really sure what to make of the Ravens job. 422 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: What do you think of that squad? I think they've 423 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: been surprising Lamar Jackson. They're on the pace to shatter 424 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: the NFL team rushing record. He's on the pace to 425 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: shatter the quarterback rushing record. We keep thinking he can't 426 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: sustain this with the hits he's taken, but they're doing 427 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: it in they're winning and John R. Ball's doing a 428 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: tremendous job. They lost pass rushers, they let defensive players go, 429 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: and so far it hasn't hurt them. And I'm looking 430 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: forward to win the Texans playing. My thought Texans would 431 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: keep winning and be seven and two when they went there. 432 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: Now I think they'll be six and three. John, is 433 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: Jose Altuve the greatest astro? And is he the second 434 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: greatest athlete in Houston sports history? Your thoughts? Well, I 435 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: couldn't say that because our old Campbell team Elajahwan and 436 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan who did it for a long period, But 437 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: right now he's the toast of the town, you know, 438 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: as far as being the greatest astro Jeff Bagwell, Greg 439 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: Bizio in all of fame. So I can't say that 440 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: he's better than them, but he's kind a chance to 441 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: win two World Series and Bagwel and Bizio played one 442 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: and we're unable to win. So he's on his way 443 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: to being the greatest and maybe the most popular. Okay, John, 444 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: how's the mcclan household handling this Washington Nationals Houston Astros 445 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: World Series? Right? Yeah? We have. My wife is all 446 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: kind of astro's stuff. She has one Nationals cap, she 447 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: has a season ticket baggage to the Astros, and she 448 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: has one to the Nationals and we've only been to 449 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: use them twice. It's a long story. And I asked her, 450 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: I said, who are you gonna be for? And she 451 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: said the Nationals, but at the Astros and went, I'll 452 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: be happy too, and she just took off for she 453 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: took off to go to Europe before the Texans play 454 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: next week. And when I get back, she said, be 455 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: sure and find me a shirt that has both teams 456 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: on it because I went to the astros couldn't find 457 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: one with both. I want both, and I said my 458 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: two most famous words, yes, dear. That was John McClain, 459 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: the general from the Houston Chronicle. Coming up next, our 460 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: good friend Game analyst Andre Ware joined us talk about 461 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: a number of things this game yesterday, Sean Watson the offense, 462 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: and what's going on in the AFC self and what 463 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: would he do with Nick Foles or Gardner Minshew discussed 464 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: all that next right here in Texas Access. We've got 465 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: one final segment of this Monday edition of Texans All 466 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: Access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am John 467 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: Harris Football ANNs the Southern Reporter. Glad to be with you, 468 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: even though yesterday was not the most fun day in 469 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: the world, A frustrated day to say the least. And yeah, 470 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: I'll say this about the lost yesterday. Obviously, injuries play 471 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: a pretty big role and everything. There's no question, you know, 472 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: Philip Gaines gets hurt at the end of the game, 473 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: and that just I saw it happened right in front 474 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: of me, and I knew immediately I could almost hear 475 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: the hit. But it was some friendly fire bringing down 476 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, and that was such a shame because 477 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: I think Philip, for the most part against t Y 478 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: Hilton did a pretty good job when he was matched up. 479 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: Hilton was targeted eleven times and he had six catches 480 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: for seventy four yards, and he did have a touchdown 481 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: that was on a screen pass. So relatively speaking, I 482 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: thought phil did a pretty good job. He goes down, 483 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: Will Fuller goes down. Saw a report for me and 484 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: Rappaport earlier today that says he might be out for 485 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: a few weeks. Obviously, Robe Bradley Roby dealing with a 486 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: hamstring injury and it sounds like he might be out 487 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. So he had try and survived, 488 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: and you can get to the buy. But my gosh, 489 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: but here's the thing. Even with the interest, I mean, 490 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: Indianapolis was throwing against a second area in which the 491 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: second longest tenure Texan was Lonnie Johnson. He got here 492 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: in April. So they've got some work to do, especially 493 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: in man coverage with all the different rub routes. I 494 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: guarantee you with John Gruden sees that season man coverage, 495 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: guess what the Raiders are gonna do they're gonna find 496 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: a way to get guys open with those rub routes 497 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: that were tremendously effective yesterday. But you kept a drive 498 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: alive for the Colts that essentially was it was a 499 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: fuel goal drive. It was a third in twelve, I 500 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: think the third and goal from the twelve, and you 501 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: got a sportsmanlike penalty that kept that drive alive to 502 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: turn into touchdown. So that's a four point swing right 503 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: there on that same drive. You can even take another 504 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,239 Speaker 1: four points away because there's a defensive holding that was 505 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: given to the Texans on that particular drive as well. 506 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: The two interceptions in the fourth quarter, and didn't score 507 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: inside the red zone three times, didn't score on the 508 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: Watson to Hopkins touchdown which was taken off the board, 509 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: yet still picked up almost four hundred yards twenty one 510 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 1: first downs. Gave up. Now it was three sacks, but 511 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: one of those sacks came about because Darren fell stepped 512 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: on Rod Johnson and Rod fell over when Darren stepped 513 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: on him. Rob's trying to get into just pass set 514 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: and Rod couldn't go anywhere because Darren had stepped on him. 515 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: Even all of that, you've got the ball in near 516 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: midfield with forty five seconds left. In fact, the ball 517 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: was snapped on that final throw the interception at thirty 518 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: seven seconds. Let's say Kiki catches that ball. There's thirty 519 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: two seconds. I've kind of done this map. There's thirty 520 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: two seconds left. You get up to the line, probably 521 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 1: spike it. With twenty two twenty three now with no timeouts. 522 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: That at that's two plays maybe three. Say you run 523 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: a play, you get a first down, you spike it, 524 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: you get probably two shots at the end zone. I'm 525 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: convinced in my head marks two. With all the injuries 526 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: and everything had gone on, you go for two. There. 527 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: My point in all that is, you could have handed 528 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: the game on a platter anymore to the Colts, and 529 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: yet it took them having to come up with that 530 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: interception at the very end to win the game. So 531 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: clean your game up. It's like clean your room, man, 532 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: Clean your room up. Do the things that you can do. 533 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: Control the things you can control. You can control procedure penalties, 534 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 1: you can control whether you tell the ref you're eligible 535 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: or not. You learn all those things. I mean, Dan 536 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: Skipper is playing for the first time his life in 537 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: the NFL, playing for the first time his life, and 538 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: he's definitely playing for the first time his life. Is 539 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: an eligible tight end. So those things are gonna happen. 540 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: But as you play together and you get a little 541 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: bit more going in the right direction and hopefully you 542 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: don't make those mistakes. And that's something that Texans have 543 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: got to be able to do going forward. Big test, 544 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: Oakland coming in here. Last time. It'll be Oakland last time, 545 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: so you know what, you want to have a little 546 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: bit up on your scoreboard having beaten Oakland Raiders the 547 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: last time you faced them. Next time it'll be Las Vegas. 548 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: But that's where next time the Raiders are up next. 549 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: Did we talk to our buddy Andre Ware about that 550 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: and many other things this morning? Dre take me through 551 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: what you're seeing with Deshaun Watson, because you see a 552 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,959 Speaker 1: couple of games here where they're moving the ball very well, 553 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: but you do get some stall drives on occasion, you 554 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: get some turnovers and it's not all on him, of course, 555 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: but this offense led by the quarterback. What are you 556 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: seeing right now? What's the state of the union? Seven 557 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: games in? Well, I see a guy that's playing with 558 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,479 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of confidence, you're gonna have stall drives 559 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: because the defense itself is just you know, kind of 560 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, they get paid too, they get a check 561 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: on Tuesdays, and it's their job to stop the offense 562 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: and not allow you really to have your way. But 563 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: there at points during that ball game where you thought, Okay, 564 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: here's what you need to see. And I think he's 565 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: become more comfortable when he's not huddling and they're at 566 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage where he could see and dissect 567 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: things faster, and just kind of you take the thought 568 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: process really out of it. For the entire offensive group 569 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: is just I have the line, let's go run a play, 570 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: and they seem to execute, and certainly he did when 571 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,479 Speaker 1: they're doing it, So maybe maybe that's a little more 572 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: and the plans going forward, because I think it's an 573 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: offense that when it gets rolling along, and certainly he's 574 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: the key component in it, went once it gets rolling 575 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: it almost seems unstoppable. Dre. I know we won't get 576 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: fined by the league for asking about officials and talking 577 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: about officials, but I want to see the game through 578 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: your eyes. Having played the position on the play in 579 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: which Deshaun is ruled in the grass. I don't know 580 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: the last time we've seen in the grass sack, But 581 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: what was your thought while that play was going on 582 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: as he's in the grass? I mean Mark at some 583 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: point said he's going down, and then he doesn't. He 584 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: throws the touchdown. What was your thoughts seeing that play 585 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: and kind of playing that position, knowing kind of what 586 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,239 Speaker 1: Deshan goes through. Was he truly in the grass? How 587 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: did you see that play? No, I didn't think so, 588 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: and I didn't think so at the time. I got 589 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: a chance to see it over again, and they really 590 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: confirmed what my eyes were seeing that that he wasn't 591 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: down or wasn't in the grass. I think officials really 592 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: have to kind of do their homework because they are 593 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: certain pop pocket passers. Now Tom Brady, immobile guy that's 594 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: in that situation, you might blow it a little early 595 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: trying to protect him. A guy that's not very mobile, 596 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: but an athletic quarterback like Deshan, a guy that you've seen, 597 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: unless you've been sleeping under a rock, make play after 598 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: play when you think he's down. You have to officiate 599 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: it a little bit differently. And it's the game is changing, 600 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: it's evolved. I know they want to protect quarterbacks, but 601 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: as long as he looks like he's gonna come out 602 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: of the grasp of a player or he's raising the 603 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: ball up to throw it, allow the play to continue. 604 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: And uh, and I thought at that point in time, 605 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: the officials got it wrong. It should have been ruled 606 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: a touchdown past to Hopkins. And I'm almost positive that's 607 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: going to come out at some point here within the week. 608 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: Drey in the secondary, and we're gonna play a game 609 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: in the next segment called predict Who's going to be 610 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: in the secondary on Sunday because this is well that 611 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: game by the way. Yeah, it's very difficult because guys 612 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: are dropping and it's uh. And some of these guys 613 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: are gonna come back, maybe sooner than later, and you 614 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: have to hope that that's the case. But it's tough. 615 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: And what do you make of what you're seeing back there? 616 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: The past defense is not highly ranked right now. They 617 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: do get pressure on the quarterback. They're often one of 618 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: their better starts ever with as far as sacking the 619 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: quarterback goes. But it's been difficult on the back end, 620 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: and largely due to injuries. What are your thoughts, well, 621 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: when you play a team like the Colts, you certainly 622 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: need more than one. And I mean if you look 623 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: at it collectively, yeah, that's the case, but it varies 624 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: from game to game. So you can pile up stats 625 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: and sacks against a bad offensive line and then they 626 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: look better overall. But in individual games when you need 627 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: them against the Jacobe Bricta and the Colts offense that 628 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: has an outstanding running game that that keeps you kind 629 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: of on your heels a little bitter. They did enough 630 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: yesterday just to keep you, honest where he had it 631 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: seemed like all day to throw the football. At times 632 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: you need you need the pressure because you know on 633 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: the back end that you're playing with some pieces that 634 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: aren't normally there. And until you get a full compliment back, 635 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: you don't have to have the front seven play a 636 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: little bit better than they played yesterday, certainly against teams 637 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: like the Cults, so one really takes care of the other. 638 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: If you got a good secondary that can cover, you 639 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: still need somewhat of a push up front. But they 640 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: make up for the lack of pass for us. And 641 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: I said this yesterday, and a good pass for us 642 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: makes up for the lack of players on the back end. 643 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: But if you combine the two, you're not getting pressure 644 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: and you have injuries and in a secondary that's kind of, 645 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: you know, less than stellar, then you may it makes 646 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: for a bad recipe, you know, Drey. When Laramie Tutsi 647 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: was traded here at the beginning of the year, everybody 648 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: was excited, and then we found out the full deal 649 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: included Kenny Steals. I think we were like, whoa, how 650 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: does Kenny kind of fit on this team with the 651 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: Sean DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller and Kiki QT. I 652 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: don't know what this offense does yesterday If Kenny Steals 653 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 1: is not out on the field, when Will Fuller goes down, 654 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: that's one injury we didn't talk about. It happened, I 655 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: think the third play the game where Will pulls hamstring 656 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: and then came out of the game. But Drake Kenny 657 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: Steals is on the field, good things end up happening. 658 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: He has been so good. What have you seen from him? 659 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: And why has he been so valuable for this team? Yeah, 660 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: he's a vet, he's a pro, He's been through it. 661 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, what do they do with him? I 662 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: was thinking, like you he this is kind of a 663 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: is he a throw in in this trade? What's gonna 664 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 1: what are they gonna, how are they gonna play him? 665 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,919 Speaker 1: Especially with QT healthy and coming back. Well, we haven't 666 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 1: seen really all of them on the field together very much, 667 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,919 Speaker 1: and so it's it would be a good thing if 668 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: we just get a taste of with a healthy Kenny Steals, 669 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: a healthy Willful or a healthy key Key QT, you know, 670 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: and and then along with Hopkins and the rest of 671 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: the tight ends. But we just haven't had that a 672 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: glimpse of that very much. Uh, He's made some catches. 673 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: He knows defenses, and Uh. One thing about receivers that 674 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: you try to teach him when they first get in 675 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: or they should learn it in college, but not a 676 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: lot of them do is a difference differences in what 677 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: you do against man coverage and against his own coverage 678 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: is and he understands that completely, which is why sometimes 679 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: he seems like he's so wide open, and then he'll 680 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: make the just phenomenal catches like he did yesterday along 681 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: the sideline that ball had no room for era he 682 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 1: just rilled it in and made it look routine. It's 683 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,479 Speaker 1: really really good to have him back in the fall. 684 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: Andrea we're joining us Andre, How good can the cults be? 685 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: How scary are they as the season progresses here? Or 686 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: are they use it up all this good fortune early? 687 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on them? No, I don't think 688 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: they're using it up early, Mark, They've been built from 689 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: the inside out. They've added some pieces of justin Houston 690 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: that can certainly get after you. Jy've all shared we 691 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: knew that he was an outstanding pass rusher. They're gonna 692 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: get some players back in their secondary where we thought, Okay, 693 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: this is a weakness that you could attack, but they 694 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: made up for it because they forced the ball out 695 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 1: of Deshaun's hands a little bit faster than than we'd 696 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: liked yesterday because of the pass for us. And that's 697 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: that goes with what we just spoke about earlier, the 698 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: pass rush making up or forcing basically making up for 699 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: the secondary being being injured. They're going to get those 700 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: players back so they'll get stronger. It would seem like 701 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: as the year goes, as a year progress, is Darius 702 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: Leonard his back? We saw what type of difference that 703 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: he's made. I gotta feel like, if you know he's 704 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: he's healthy, their records even better than what it was. 705 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: I think the Colts are here to stay, even with 706 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck having retired. They're they're getting enough obviously yesterday 707 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: from Jacobe Brissette to make some noise for quite some time. Yeah, 708 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 1: that's scary, and a guy's making some noise, Drey, that 709 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 1: I know that that you love because it was a 710 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: guy we talked about draft night and he's doing it 711 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,439 Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens and finding a way each every week. 712 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: They just showed his numbers. You're watching an NFL network. 713 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: In fourteen games, he's rushed for about twelve hundred yards, 714 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: and that's Lamar Jackson. But he's more than that. But 715 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: in a game yesterday where ball security was at a premium, 716 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: playing in the rain in Seattle, he has one hundred 717 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: and thirteen yards. He convinced his hardboard to go for 718 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 1: it on the fourth down, even scores a touchdown on 719 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: that play. The Ravens are pretty scary in large part 720 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: because of that guy right there, dre Are. They are 721 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens the second best team in the in the AFC. 722 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: Well they're playing that way right now, Johnny, and it's 723 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 1: hard to argue against it. And he seems to be. 724 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: He'd being Lamar Jackson getting better each and every week. 725 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: And when you can, when you can have that kind 726 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: of relationship with your head coach where they trust you 727 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: and then you deliver in a big way like that, 728 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 1: I mean that that goes a long way. That that 729 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: head coach quarterback relationships is a delicate, delicate thing, and 730 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,720 Speaker 1: Ian Harball seem to have have that thing. They seem 731 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: to be on the same page. I ran it, I raved, 732 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: I thought people were crazy, uh And I said that 733 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: both privately and publicly, that if you don't like desha, 734 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: if you don't like Lamar Jackson, then you don't like 735 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. And I'm sure some scouts felt that way 736 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: about Deshaun when he was coming out. A matter of fact, 737 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: I know they did. But he has shown up and 738 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: played his butt off just like Lamar is starting to 739 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 1: do and in his second year. And so they were 740 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 1: a lot alike, a lot of similarities between the two physically. 741 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: And if you watch Lamar just throw a football, I 742 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 1: mean you come away with it just you're owin and 743 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: I and because of the way he can fit it 744 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: into tight holes and get it out. Now, he's a 745 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: different kind of player because he's so dynamic when he 746 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: pulls it down. But that forces a defense to play 747 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 1: eleven on eleven and that's today's that's today's NFL, that's 748 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: today's college game. More and more teams are starting to 749 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: do that, and if you have one of those weapons, 750 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: you're better served using it now. He has to be 751 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: smart so that he's not injured, but he seems to 752 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: be playing that way and adds off to him. He's 753 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: a tremendous young man. I know his family very well 754 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him 755 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,399 Speaker 1: as a player and a person. Well, we'll see having 756 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,240 Speaker 1: a few weeks up there, and that's gonna be another 757 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: tough game for this squad. As the next couple of weeks, 758 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: you have the Raiders here on Sunday. Derek Carr quick 759 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: trigger on Derek Andrea and what are your quick thoughts 760 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: on the Raiders coming in here after they were death 761 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: by the Packers yesterday. Yeah, you just don't know what 762 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: team you're gonna get. And with that goes to the 763 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: quarterback and Deren Cars like you know when when they're 764 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: when they're clicking, there's dangerous as anybody and that's just 765 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 1: the NFL, and it's it's own right. If you get 766 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,720 Speaker 1: good quarterback play, Uh, they're able to run the football 767 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 1: with Josh Jacobs, they can be a dangerous football team. 768 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: But as well, they can lay an egg as well. 769 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 1: And so that's therefore you don't know what you're gonna 770 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: get when the Raiders. It's a game at home that 771 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: you should be able to take care of a little 772 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: bit later start, so that throws you off just a 773 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: little bit, uh, and not being a noons start this week, 774 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: But this is a game I think the Texans should 775 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: be able to take care of. And one more thing 776 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: about Lamar while we while we're talking about it, he's 777 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,919 Speaker 1: everybody said and going into that game that he can 778 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: stand on the sideline and learn a lot from from 779 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,840 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Well, he did a little bit of teaching 780 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: of his own yesterday's game, no doubt about it. Well, 781 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: it's I'm just thankfully he didn't go to Jacksonville, that's all. Yeah, 782 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: I mean, but I think about that possible. You know, 783 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: who knows? Who knows if he goes to Jacksonville and 784 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: they may try to put a square pig in a 785 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: round hole and try to make him something that he's 786 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: totally not and he's not the player. One thing about 787 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,799 Speaker 1: coaching is you have to allow the player to be 788 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,959 Speaker 1: the player and play to his strengths. And I think 789 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh has done a magnificent job of that of 790 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: a line Lamar Jackson to be exactly what he is, 791 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 1: and they're benefiting from it. They're the number two offense 792 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: in the league. The Texans are fourth in total offense 793 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,919 Speaker 1: in the league, and the Cowboys are first Chiefs or third. 794 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: So I mean this, this game and a few weeks 795 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,919 Speaker 1: is gonna be an offensive showdown. You might think, Okay, 796 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 1: I knew we gotta get up on a break. Well, 797 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: I ask both you two, when Gardner, when Nick Foles 798 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 1: is healthy, considering who's in Jacksonville, who's in charge? Who 799 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: is the quarterback for the rest of the year. When 800 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,240 Speaker 1: Nick Foles is healthy, Drake go, then you Mark Gardner Minshew. 801 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you're winning games. It's hard to win games 802 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's hard to get it right at quarterback. 803 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: While he's winning, he's the quarterback, no doubt in my mind. 804 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: I think they try to trade him, although the trade 805 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: deadline is gonna be but next week, this week, whatever, 806 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: all right, So I'm gonna say Falls, I'm gonna say 807 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: I think Coughlin will force them to go back. I 808 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 1: think Coughlin will right. They will crumble because of it, 809 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: because the team had Minshew had something about him, and 810 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,240 Speaker 1: the team is playing for Menshew. When you make that change, 811 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 1: you don't get the momentum back. And Jacksonville was will 812 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,439 Speaker 1: going the tank. I rarely disagree with my man, andre Ware, 813 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: but I do a little bit. I agree with this philosophy, Polly. 814 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: I totally agree with that. I just don't think Kauflin 815 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: will do it. I think Coughlin wants to go back 816 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: to Nick Foles. I just think that's you want to 817 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: see what you paid for. Car's been sitting in garage 818 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 1: for a few months. Yeah. I know that the the 819 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: F one fifty truck has been doing great. It's been 820 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: doing great, But you know what the ferraris seemingly sitting over. 821 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: I want to check that out. I guarantee they go 822 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: back to Fall at some point. I shouldn't take guarantee. 823 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: I don't guarantee anything in football, never, never again, never again, 824 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 1: that no, but I do think that Falls will get 825 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: a shot there's no question.
