1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to Texans All Access, brought to you in part

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: my Red Diamond, the preferred coffee and iced tea of

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Here's the Snaps looking tall, diving for

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: the pilot that he's got it. Razzle tattle, touchdown Houston

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: and the Texans go in front. Game day is every day.

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: We had a lot of energy and we brought a

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: lot of spark for this organization. You have to go

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: five nights a week. They hits keep on coming out.

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: The Texans say they have it and they go no,

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: it's Texans All Excess. It's a short week, but not

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: a short show. Texans All Access. We've got a lot

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: to get to. Is we ready for Thanksgiving Day in

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: Detroit less than forty eight hours away? Welcome back. I've

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: got Drudority, I've got Mark Vandermere, myself, tpcity. We're gonna

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: chat about Sunday's win. Because we don't have a lot

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: of time to process that win over the Patriots. We

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: quickly turn the page to the lines. Now for the lines,

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: it's probably a great week because they were shut out

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday, so they don't have to focus on their

20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: Sunday game and they can turn the page. But you

21
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: know what, we're gonna try to get it all done

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: in this one quick hour of Texans All Access. Welcome back, guys. Hey,

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: it's it's great to be here. And yes, you know,

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: you said we don't have a lot of time, and

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna say we don't have a lot

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: of wins, you know, so we have to focus on

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: the win because of that. And that's true too. It's

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: only win number three of the year and by far

29
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: the best one because it's not like you beat a

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: juggernaut Patriot team. But man, after they beat the Jets,

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: which is not exactly the biggest accomplishment in the world,

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: but after they took care of the Ravens and stopped

33
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens offense, I mean they held them to seventeen points.

34
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: I don't on a bad weather night, I thought that

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots were coming in here with momentum and they

36
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: were gonna be Patriot like. They were gonna come in

37
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: here and be extremely tough to beat. Not that they weren't,

38
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: but I really thought this is gonna be a tall

39
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: order today because they're about to turn into New England

40
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: on a roll. But they didn't, and the Texans stopped it. Yeah,

41
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: I think you have to give the Texans a ton

42
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: of credit for that. They handled it well and it

43
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: was a very nice win. You just look at that

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: win in a capsule, that win in a box. That

45
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: was a nice victory. I'm like you, Mark, I thought before,

46
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, before Sunday, I was like, this is not

47
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: going to be good. They're rolling, they've kind of figured

48
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: it out. They're going to start to take off here.

49
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: And then driving into the stadium Sunday morning, I'm on

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: the South Loop and a major blowout. My rear right

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: tire just totally blew up, and so I immediately started

52
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: thinking this is gonna be horrible because last year when

53
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: the Texans went to Baltimore, my sunglasses broke and then

54
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens just like raided on the Texans. I was like,

55
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: this is gonna be an awful day. But it wasn't,

56
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: so it all worked out good things. My mother from

57
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: India would say, Drew that your tire blew out, so

58
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 1: that all that you would absorb all the bad luck

59
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: of the day and the Texans would leave unscathed from

60
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: that game against the Patriots. So it was foreboding a

61
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: win for the Texans because they already got all We

62
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: got all of our bad luck out of the way

63
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: with your flat, with your fire. So if someone has

64
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: a lot of joy, deep that means they've absorbed about

65
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: the joy and now we can't have joy in other areas.

66
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: Does that? Does the opposite apply according to you, If

67
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: you have a lot of joy, then you just have

68
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: to be aware of the evil eye because other people

69
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: may look at you and their jealousy and they may

70
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: try to take some of that away from you. So

71
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: you've got to do other good things to sort of balance.

72
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: You've got to do good in the community. You've got

73
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: to give back, you've got to you've got to do

74
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: something so people don't see that as a threat to

75
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: their happiness. They're just, you know, they're just wishing good

76
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: carm on you. There's a lot of rules to this,

77
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: you see. Yeah, it sounds like she would also burn

78
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: red peppers, but that's a whole other podcast. I'll do

79
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: it if it's gonna help. If you're gonna help the

80
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Texans finish nine and seven, I'll burn a lot of

81
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: red peppers. Let's let's not invite that into our lives. Mark,

82
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: let me just okay, just leave that at that. Three

83
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: and seven. Yeah, you're right, Mark, not a lot of wins,

84
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: but they're facing a Lions team that's only four and six.

85
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: They could have moved to five hundred last week against

86
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: the Panthers, and it look like the momentum was actually

87
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: on their side because the Panthers had all their they

88
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: had all these injuries, Tavy Bridgewater was out. They're gonna

89
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: go up go against PJ. Walker. We remember PJ Walker

90
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: with the XFL the first NFL start, and not only

91
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: do they lose, they get shut out. So I don't

92
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: know what is the opposite of fat and happy, Mark,

93
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: because that's what the Lions are going to be on

94
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day. They're going to be starving and emaciated and miserable.

95
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: Emaciated and miserables, the opposite of fat and happy, because

96
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: that's them desperate for victory, desperate for victory. You know

97
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: they I talked to some people up there. I know

98
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: you two have as well. The thing about them is

99
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: they have had so much failure up there. It's not Jacksonville.

100
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: They've had more success than them. Although Jacksonville did go

101
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: to an AFC Championship game in twenty seventeen. But the relationship,

102
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: as I suspected, you know, from the outside looking at

103
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: Mattthew Stafford is so highly regarded, and look, he's a

104
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: very talented quarterback. But the city of Detroit, the I

105
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: in fan base, the honeymoon is so far from over.

106
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean, so far behind them, I should say, and

107
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: they're just they're kind of ready to move on with

108
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: this current coaching regime, which is in year four right

109
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: now and really not doing the job. And I hate

110
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: to say that about anybody, but it's true. They're not

111
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: getting the results they need. I mean, they were in

112
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: position to turn the corner last week and failed to

113
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: do so, and their fan bases living they're playing p J. Walker. Yes,

114
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: Stafford has the thumb, Yes Swift can't play, but they

115
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: felt like their fans felt like they should have won

116
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: that football game and been in good position for the

117
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving affair. But they're not. Yeah, I mean, yesterday, Matt

118
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Patricia had his day after press conference, and midway through

119
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: he was having to answer questions about his job security.

120
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: Never a good sign. Never you know you are in

121
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: a bad situation when your head coach is having to

122
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: answer those questions. It's still only November, and it's I mean,

123
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: it's looking ripe for a Texans win. You know, just

124
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: the way things are going for the Texans, the offense

125
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: is going to be playing again indoors. It is on

126
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: a roll. Really. You know, they didn't score a lot

127
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: against Cleveland, but they still moved the ball a thirteen

128
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: play drive, a fourteen play drive, you know, they so

129
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: they were still moving the ball even though they didn't score.

130
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Last week, you take that game out, they've been putting

131
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: up points. Like in the defense. I mean, the defense

132
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: has been out to lunch, you know, for most of

133
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 1: the season, and then in the last two weeks combined,

134
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: they've given up thirty points. So I mean they're kind

135
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: of coming together sort of speak. And you know, if

136
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: you had trouble against p J. Walker, you know you're

137
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: taking a big step up against DeShawn Watson. I feel

138
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: very very confident about this, and it's really scaring me.

139
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: DP after hearing what your your grandmother said earlier in

140
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: the show, your mother, I'm sorry your mother, your mother. Yes, no,

141
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: I I agree with you whole heartedly, and we'll get

142
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: into this matchup because I think both of you bring

143
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: up an excellent point. This is a big must win

144
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: game really for Matt Patricia, because I feel like that

145
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: they could be on the cusp. This Lions team of

146
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: some major changes if they can't pull out a win

147
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: on Thursday against the Texans. Meanwhile, the Texans are on

148
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: a roll. But we'll get into more of that matchup. First,

149
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: let's get to some of our hot reads presented by Geico.

150
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: Go to Geico dot com and in fifteen minutes you

151
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: could say fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Well,

152
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: the Texans practice today. Left tackle Leremie Tunsel, who missed

153
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Sunday's game, was back in the building today. Romeo Cornell

154
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: is hoping that Tunsel can travel with the team to

155
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: Detroit on Thursday. That's to be determined because Tunsel did

156
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: not participate neither did Randall Cobb in Monday's walk through.

157
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: But it's really going to depend on how this week

158
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: goes whether or not Tunsel can return for Thursday's game.

159
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: If he can't, I mean, Rodert Johnson did a pretty

160
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: good job of holding it down at left tackle. It

161
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: you never want to be without your starting left tackle,

162
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: but I mean that's definitely gonna be something to watch

163
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: for this week. I thought it was really notable that

164
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: they allowed no sacks. Now, they couldn't run the ball, okay,

165
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: but there's a lot that goes into that. There are

166
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: no excuses. However, Tim Kelly was telling Johnny and Me

167
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: on the Coaches Show. I hate saying Johnny and me

168
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: because I know if I say Johnny and I, there

169
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: really needs to be a verb after that. But it

170
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: never sounds right to me. But he was telling us

171
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: on the Coaches Show on Monday that, hey, you know,

172
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: I know the running game's not going well, it's not

173
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: going as well as we want. But the RPOs and

174
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: everything else we do off the running game or play

175
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: action is because of the running game. In other words,

176
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: they can't abandon the run. And I was listening to

177
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: Lopez and Landry and I think they have difficulty with

178
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: the concept because here's the deal. Even if you're only

179
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: getting a yard per carry, well, they're stopping you from

180
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: that yard and they're gearing up to stop you. So

181
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: if you play fake, maybe a linebacker bites because he's like, oh,

182
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop another run. Well, now you got a

183
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: tight end open, and with an RPO, I know a

184
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: little bit more goes into that, but it doesn't mean

185
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: they necessarily respect the run. They think it's good, but

186
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: perspect there's another type of context here, which is they

187
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: need to play the run because if they stop playing

188
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: the run, maybe you can start running it. So the

189
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: whole thing is a mix, and I think that they're

190
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: finding some success. Some of their passing game success is

191
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: based on the fact that they still try to run. It.

192
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: Not a ton on Sunday, but they still tried. They're

193
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: only what was it, a handful of carries with the

194
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: backs in the second half. I like it that they're

195
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: passing more than running right now, but as Tim Kelly said,

196
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: some of the passes are still there in play action

197
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: or RPOs because they do have a running game, or

198
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: they do have the thought of a running game. The

199
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: attempt at a running game. Yeah, who cares. If different.

200
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that seems different front kind of

201
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: what Romeo Cornell said, And maybe I misunderstood or misinterpreted

202
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: what he was saying, but he was saying, if the

203
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: passing game is working, we're gonna go with the passing game.

204
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: If the running game, we're gonna go to the running game.

205
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: If both are we're gonna go with both. So I

206
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: took that as okay, So if the running game isn't working,

207
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: we're just gonna pass, We're gonna go. I mean I

208
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: was interpreting the rest, but I was like, oh, so

209
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: empty backfield, just line everybody up and just throw the ball,

210
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: like over and over and over again. Why would that

211
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: threat will be there? But I mean, who cares if

212
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: they run it? You know X amount of times? Now

213
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: if you if you do what you get on Sunday,

214
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: that's nice standing. I mean they were spread the ball

215
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: around in nine different receivers. There were times when he

216
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Qt would catch it pass for like four yards. Well,

217
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: or pro Sie caught a pass for four yards. That's

218
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: as good as like a sweep to the right. John

219
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Harris and I were talking about it on our in

220
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: the Lab podcast. Who gives a rip whether they run

221
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: it or not because you are throwing the ball so effectively.

222
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you're spreading it around. Look at the explosive

223
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: plays the other day. You had Cooks with two more

224
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: catches of twenty yards or more, example eleven on the season,

225
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: Fuller's out there with eight. I mean they are popping

226
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: them deep. It's so much fun to watch this offense.

227
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: And if they can't run the ball with the running backs,

228
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: there's no need to force the square peg into the roundhole.

229
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: Of a round peg into the square hole. Let's just

230
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: keep rolling. What're with, what you're doing, because if you

231
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: have a back back there, they've got to respect it.

232
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: But that's about it. That's all you gotta worry about.

233
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: And then, like Mark was saying a little bit later,

234
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: all you're gonna be able to start getting these runs

235
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: because they're going to back off and just not respect

236
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: that run at all. You know what I like? And

237
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: here's a little quick poll. What formation excites you the most?

238
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: Never mind the play that follows, But when they line

239
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: up like this, you're most excited. For me, it's empty backfield,

240
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: you know. For me, it's the shot all alone in

241
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: the backfield, because I think something magical could happen here.

242
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: He could throw a great pass, he could he could

243
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: design a play on the fly, he could do something miraculous.

244
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah it might not work, but those formations excite me.

245
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: And I think for the defense, those are the scariest ones. Oh,

246
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going to happen here. If we

247
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 1: send extra people maybe he can get rid of the

248
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: ball quickly, or maybe he escapes and it's Katie Barr

249
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: the door for our defense. I think empty backfield, and

250
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: whenever you say the words bunch formation work, I'm like

251
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: something goods about to happen. I don't know why. I

252
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: just feel like that. Those are always the most exciting

253
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: plays to watch. Hey, how refreshing was it to see

254
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: Kiki qt and what his effect was on the offense.

255
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he caught the touchdown, he was returning some

256
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: punts and he did fine job there. I mean he

257
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: was actually contributing, and he looked happy and he was

258
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: the offense was really humming along. I think that was

259
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: a big deal that he was in there, that he

260
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: was able to to contribute the way he did, don't

261
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: you guys. Well, Andre, you know, had a press conference

262
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: during the game basically where he I mean, I'm being

263
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: funny here, but he said that, you know, if you

264
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: put a player in the doghouse, he gets that. You know,

265
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: a player makes a mistake or whatever little doghouse action,

266
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: but you got to take him out of the dog house,

267
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: right And his point was, he feels like Kiki's been

268
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: in there way too long and that Kiki can play.

269
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: And look, they know more about Kiki than anybody because

270
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: they're with him every day. But the point is clearly

271
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: you got some results out of Kiki. There's ability there

272
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: in Kiki, and I know the fumbles have been a

273
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: bit of an issue. I mean there have been a

274
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: couple of instances, but he needs the reps. And you

275
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: know what Kiki needed this year, like a lot of

276
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: guys did preseason and you didn't get it. And that's

277
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: not excuse because it's a it's an even playing field,

278
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: but it needed to be tilted in Kiki's direction and

279
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: a few other guys to have a preseason Kylee wearing

280
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: to have those reps in those games and whatever joint

281
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: practices you would have gotten where you could have proven

282
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: yourself and hone your craft a little bit and not

283
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: how to where one mistake's going to kill you. And

284
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: said you the sideline for a few weeks. So it

285
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: was really refreshing, Like you said, Drew, I wrote a

286
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: story about it on Houston Texans dot com because I

287
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: really thought that the comments of Romeo after the game

288
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: were just so telling, and you know, he brought him

289
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: up on his own I think I forget what the

290
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: question was about. But on his own, you know, nobody

291
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: really asks about Keki Qt anymore because your sort of condition,

292
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: you get the same response that you know, he's doing

293
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: good job, he's trying to work his way on the field.

294
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: It's just really hard. We got a talented group of

295
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers. But on his own, Romeo Cornell said, you know,

296
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: he was really proud of Keki just sticking with it

297
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: and being persistent and coming to work every day and

298
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: putting in the work. And then he was asked about

299
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: him again yesterday and Romeo said, you know, I told

300
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: him on the sideline, like your opportunity's coming, You've just

301
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: got to make the most of it. And I feel like,

302
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, that probably gave Qt the confidence that he needed.

303
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: He caught that touchdown pass. You know, I feel like

304
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: the tide could could turn for him. And you know,

305
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: it's it's funny because the rest of us had seen

306
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: it when he was a rookie and OTAs and in

307
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: training camp, like do you remember us talking about the

308
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: ball never hit the ground when Qt would catch it? Yeah,

309
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: in rookie mini camp and OTAs and it's you know,

310
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: people laugh at that because they've seen quite the opposite

311
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: when in game situations with him fumbling or dropping or

312
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: you know not. But you know, that's just not who

313
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: we saw him to be. And I feel like maybe

314
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: this is he kind of is going to come out

315
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: the other side now and get back to the Kiki

316
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: QT we saw at least I hope. So I hope

317
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: this is sort of the beginning of his journey now

318
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: moving forward. You bring that up, DP, It's a really

319
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: good point because think about what happened. The last game

320
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: that the Texans played from the eighteen season was that

321
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: playoff loss, and it was ugly. You know, they fell

322
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: to the Colts. There was just it was an almost

323
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: lifeless performance except for QT. He had double digit catches,

324
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: he had one hundred yards, he had the only touchdown

325
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: in the game. And then you go into that offseason,

326
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: that OTA period, he was kind of the he was

327
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: like the Elder Statesman of receivers because the veterans on

328
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: that in that group were not practicing for whatever reason.

329
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: Fuller was rehabbing, Hopkins was kind of dinged up. So

330
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: Kinky was kind of getting guys in information, getting he

331
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: was sort of organizing and get him in the right spots,

332
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: and like you said, he wasn't dropping the ball at all,

333
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: and then it just the injury at Green Bay. I

334
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: mean that kind of from that point on, it was

335
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: it's been tough for him and he really has struggled,

336
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, since that August of twenty nineteen. Ye him

337
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: get out there. Maybe this is a sign of things

338
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: to come, because he's still under contract for next year.

339
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean when when when the offense moves like that,

340
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: when he plays like that, he's clearly an important piece

341
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: to it. You know. The funny thing is, all right,

342
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: so he fumbles earlier this year and then he's gone

343
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: for a while, And I just think, you know, it's

344
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: funny with Bill O'Brien because I'll always stick up for

345
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: the wins. You know. I love winning seasons. I love

346
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs. Believe me, I love going to

347
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Please get us back there sooner or rather

348
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: than later. But maybe, and I think I'm being fair

349
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: in saying this that Tek he needs a different kind

350
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: of coach, maybe a different kind of tutelage, you know,

351
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: and some guys, and I'm not saying Bill was incapable

352
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: of this. Who knows. I mean, maybe it was done

353
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: perfectly fine, but to me, like sometimes different guys need

354
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: to be treated a certain way and maybe that's it,

355
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: maybe it's not. I don't know. I'm just purely hypothesizing here,

356
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: but I would love to see it work out for him.

357
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: And just like last hour, we talked about Khala Wearing

358
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: and I think Cecil or somebody brought it up. How look,

359
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: this is a draft pick. And even though the tight

360
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: end group is performing well right now, is Pharaoh Brown

361
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: being the third guy in Fells and Akins Akins? My gosh,

362
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got Pro Bowl potential, There's no doubt

363
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: about it. He's playing like one right now. If you

364
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: got the ballmore. They just have so many different guys.

365
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: Drew Jos brought up nine different pass catchers. But with

366
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: Khala Wearing, he's a third round pick, and as an organization,

367
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: no matter who's taken over, you kind of want to

368
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: know what you have in this third third round pick

369
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: from a couple of years ago. That's a heck of

370
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: an investment you made into Kahale Wearing, so you'd like

371
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: to know what you've got there. Let's see in a

372
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: similar situation with QT, I know he's longer into his

373
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: NFL tenure here. I mean, you got eighteen ninety so

374
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: next year I'll be year four for QT. But again,

375
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: it's nice to see what you've got in him, even

376
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: though you have a lot of pass catchers here. All right,

377
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: our next hot read, actually bring this to our next

378
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: hot read. The Texans activated tight end Colly Wearing to

379
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster on Mondays twenty one day

380
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: practice window was nearing its end. The former water polo

381
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: stand up and second year player. He's been on IR

382
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: since right after the Week one game at Kansas City.

383
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: Romeo'cronell was asked about him today, he said he expects

384
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: some special team snaps and maybe a few offensive plays

385
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: for Wearing, but it's going to be a bit of

386
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: an uphill climb with three tight ends performing at such

387
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: a high level ahead of him. But I thought Cecil

388
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: did a great job of explaining the fact that, you know,

389
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: you want to see what you have in these young

390
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: guys and these young draft picks, and you only have

391
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: a handful of games left to sort of see what

392
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: Holly can do for you. Yeah, and I think Calli's

393
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: different than the other guys there's no doubt he's around

394
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: two fifty, a little higher than that two fifty and change,

395
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: and so he's the smallest guy at two fifty. Is

396
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: this smaalst guy in the group? I forget what Aigan's

397
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: checks in at, but it just doesn't. It feels like

398
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 1: Wearing is not exactly the girth of Aikins, but Wearing

399
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: can run, and Wearing I think as twitch and a

400
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: lot of ability. The question is what about the playbook?

401
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: Cecil talked about how difficult it was to absorb this

402
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: offense as a veteran. It's been in multiple offenses in Jacksonville,

403
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 1: and he's a smart guy. When Ryan Fitzpatrick got here

404
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, I was having dinner at a Texans

405
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: event and sat with him, so I got to pick

406
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: his brain a little bit. And he had been in

407
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: a ton of offenses by then, and he went to

408
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: Harvard and he said, this is by far the most

409
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: complicated offense I've been in. So that gets that lets

410
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: you know how tough it is. So imagine what it

411
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: is for the rookies or a guy like Wearing. It

412
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: really hasn't played a lot of football anyway, So this

413
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be difficult, but we all want to see

414
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: what he can do. And I'm not saying these games

415
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: are throwaways, but you get him a rap or two

416
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: or three or whatever and things work out, maybe you've

417
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: got something, and it would be nice to know going

418
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty one, right has to harp on greenberrything.

419
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: But kind of like Kiki having that rough thing. I mean,

420
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: we had seen really good stuff from from Wearing in

421
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: his rookie mini camp in nineteen and then into you know,

422
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: part of training camp, and then he goes to training camp.

423
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: In the practice in green Bay, he kind of torches

424
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: their secondary, the Packers secondary on one day and then

425
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: he gets knocked out and he's kind of done for

426
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: the season after that. You don't you don't get to

427
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: see much of him afterwards, and so he's you know,

428
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: green Bay kind of had a negative effect on those two.

429
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: It's it's really weird you go back to that little

430
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: week of work in the in Wisconsin. So my weekly

431
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: Corona complaint. Remember what it was like when we didn't

432
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: have coronavirus and you can actually stand, You could stand

433
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: next to another person and not wear a mask and

434
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: just have a conversation and nobody cared and it was fine,

435
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: or somebody would have the flu, like, oh you have

436
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: the flu, go lie down, you know, it wasn't like,

437
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, everybody for fourteen days anyway, Sorry, go ahead,

438
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: all right, Well, one more hot read the identical twin

439
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: safeties AJ Moore for the Texans and CJ Moore for

440
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: the Lions. They're gonna play each other for the first

441
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: time as NFL players on Thursday, so at least they

442
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: can spend their Thanksgiving together, even though it is on

443
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: the field and not at a dinner table. The two

444
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: haven't really seen each other since their offseason training in Mississippi,

445
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: and I haven't a really fun game that I did

446
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: with my counterpart at the Lions, Tory Petrie. We played

447
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: a game of no yr Bro. Certainly we did not

448
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: invent it. We stole it from Jimmy Fallon and countless

449
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: other people. But we had a good time getting to

450
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: know AJ and CJ. And the two they didn't even know.

451
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: I guess no one told them that their brother was

452
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: on the call. So they get on the zoom and

453
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: AJ puts on his you know, mike and everything, and

454
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: he looks up and he said ah CJ's on this

455
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: call like he was. He just saw the Lions backdrop,

456
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: and I thought that was really cute because I actually talked.

457
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: They FaceTime each other and play video games every single night.

458
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: But they were just so excited to do a joint interview.

459
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: And I'm really happy for them because I think it's

460
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: one of those storylines that maybe in a regular game

461
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: you wouldn't talk about as much. But because it's Thanksgiving

462
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: and they're identical twins and they they've never played each other, Um,

463
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: it's it's going to be a really special day for them.

464
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: It's such a fascinating story, I mean, you know, and

465
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: then there's such a talented family because it's not just them.

466
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: Their cousin is Cornell Armstrong, right, he's a Texan as well,

467
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: and on Sunday, I don't know if this was his

468
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: first NFL tackle or what, but it's his first tackle

469
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: in a long time. That guy, uh, I can't remember.

470
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: There was the returner for the Patriots, but he stepped

471
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: out of bounds and then came back in and basically

472
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: at the one hundred nine yard line returned it and

473
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: the Texans stopped him at like the twenty, So it

474
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: wasn't a good return, but Cornell Armstrong was a guy

475
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: that had that tackle there, and you could hear A. J.

476
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: Moore on the broadcast going crazy and you know, out

477
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: of excitement for him. But the three of those guys,

478
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: like you ever mentioned, they worked out little bit in Mississippi.

479
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: They were living together here in Houston as well and

480
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: working out totally, you know, together in the in the

481
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,959
Speaker 1: in the off season, because hey, they're they're all family

482
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: and they're related to each other. But it's such a

483
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: fascinating story. You know, his brother was a year behind

484
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: him essentially college wise, because he had an injury and

485
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: could red shirt again, so he stayed the extra year

486
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: at Old Miss while AJ came here and led the

487
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, the Texans special teams tackles as an undrafted rookie.

488
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: So then CJ. Latches on as an undrafted rookie and

489
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: he's kind of doing a lot of the same things

490
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: AJ did. He's a very valuable guy for them on specialty.

491
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: It's such a cool thing to see. And those guys

492
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: can play. I mean, A J. Moore has been one

493
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: of the most valuable players that you don't know much

494
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: about that the fan base doesn't hear much about. Texans

495
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: made him a captain before the start of the season,

496
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: so it's really fun to see. And you know, I

497
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what happens. And you know, hopefully

498
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: they'll one or both of them are miked up by

499
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: the NFL film's crew this Sunday. And I was gonna say,

500
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: you haven't heard about him aj much this year because

501
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: he was on IR. He got hurt after that Week

502
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: three game at Pittsburgh, missed five games, and I remember thinking, gosh,

503
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: I know he was really excited about this Thanksgiving Day

504
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: game against his brother. He's not going to even get

505
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: to play him. And then sure enough he comes off

506
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 1: off of IR. He plays in Sunday's game against the Patriots.

507
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: I think he was. He was actually of i R

508
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: two weeks ago but was inactive, so and here he

509
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: comes for a Thursday's game, coming off a win, and

510
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I'm really happy for him. He

511
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: has led special teams in tackles both years, but you

512
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: know he's actually taken some snaps on defense too, at

513
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: safety and really contributing. Yeah, look, how many brothers are

514
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL when you look at I mean, we

515
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: just had the mccordy's with the New England Patriots. You know,

516
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: earlier this year we had the Watt brother reunion in Pittsburgh.

517
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: I mean, there are too many to name, really, and

518
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: then over the years you look at the Barbers and

519
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: so many others. I just I think it's special and

520
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: identical twins. There's just something special about that. So yeah,

521
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: very good Thanksgiving story. It's funny because this layer of

522
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: R and I. But I was talking to Detroit media

523
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: guy who works for the Michigan Sports Network, and he said,

524
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: because I said, this is a real special game in Detroit,

525
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: isn't it for Thanksgiving? Goes? I know everyone around the

526
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: nation every Thanksgiving wonders what is Detroit doing on my television?

527
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: But it is special to us. What are the Lions

528
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: do it on my TV? Again? Oh boy, I don't

529
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: care because we get to play on Thanksgiving Day. I

530
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: wish it was under different circumstances and they had a

531
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: halftime show and the crowd and all that. But you

532
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: know what, I'll take it. I hope the Texans gon

533
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: a big win because that means they'll get invited back

534
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: to play another Thanksgiving Day game, whether it's the Lions

535
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: or the Cowboys or anybody else. But um, I'm I'm

536
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited about it. But just the parade. Yeah,

537
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm missing the parade too, darn it. I mean, I

538
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: love the parade, and they're not going to do it right.

539
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 1: They can't do it. It's in I don't think they can.

540
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: But you know what they're doing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

541
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: Probably no fans. Wait, wait, that's what I'm talking about.

542
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: That talk about they're doing it parade that you were

543
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: super excited about last heard. I mean, I'm not here

544
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: to deliver pop news, you know, but the last I heard,

545
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: they were still going to do it, but just not

546
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: have people. There's kind of floats and probably the people

547
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: holding the floats with wear masks. That's changed because things

548
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: have changed in New York several times over of course

549
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: of the last few months. Better than nothing, as long

550
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: as they have. I was talking about New York because

551
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: it's just basically the TV experience of Thanksgiving, you know,

552
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: everything virtual these days. Anyway, Yes, all right, Well we're

Speaker 1: the rest of you listening, and you know what, it's

652
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving weeks. So I was like, I love talking about Thanksgiving.

653
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: We've been talking about food for the last hour with eSeL,

654
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: actually for the whole month. I think every time a

655
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: two year has been on, we've talked about food. So

656
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: I thought I would like for you guys, because it

657
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: was a big win against the Patriots. Texans did a

658
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: lot of things really well. So you have to construct

659
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: your perfect Thanksgiving plate for Thursday. Of player performances, I

660
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: will wake Deshaun Watson the Turkey. So a great performance

661
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: from Deshaun Watson. Let's put that aside. Now, your sides,

662
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: you get one offensive, one defensive, and one special team's

663
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: side that you can put on your plate. What performance

664
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: do you want to see? Should I give you an example?

665
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: Does this make sense? No? No No, go ahead, give us

666
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: an example, Like I could say I've got Deshaun Watson.

667
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: Along with Deshaun Watson, I would like to see a

668
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: three touchdown game from Will Fuller, back from j J.

669
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: Watt and a return for a punt return for a touchdown. Okay,

670
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: well all right, So to me, a punt return for

671
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown is something unexpected for your Thanksgiving dinner. And

672
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: that would be like somebody whips out some dessert that

673
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: you weren't expecting that's really good. Or this is what

674
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: I said with Johnny and Tim Kelly yesterday. I said,

675
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: because we talked about why does turkey have to be

676
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: the thing and Thanksgiving? Why? Like why who you'd ever

677
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: make turkey any other time? Maybe you have turkey sandwiches

678
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: or something, or Christmas you make a turkey. Like if

679
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving had a brisket as the main dish, I think

680
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: people would be way more pumped up for Thanksgiving and

681
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: they already are. Brisket would turn Thanksgiving into the best thing.

682
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: It already is the best thing, ever it would be

683
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: even better. I mean, Jamie Roots is always talking about

684
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: how can we make it better? You know what? Amy

685
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving better brisket. I took it on another tangent. I

686
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: was like, I agree. I agree with your brisket. I

687
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: feel like that could be a secondary meat in addition

688
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: to the turkey. I still want the turkey, and I

689
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: won't be having turkey. Not everybody does brisket, Yeah, I

690
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: mean not everybody does turkey well either, But I like

691
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: the turkey. I like the sandwiches. I'm not going to

692
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: argue with the brisket. Sandwich is a leftover. But you

693
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: know what, mark to your point about that being a

694
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: separate dish, that's like a surprise. I would like in that.

695
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: I would like in that to my dad always picking

696
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: up cole Slaw on Thanksgiving, because I know we've talked

697
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: about this, and I always my dad's My parents came

698
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: from India, obviously, and my dad would loves coleslaw, loves

699
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: American cole Slaw, and we'd have to tell him it's

700
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: not a picket, not a picnic, this is thanks seeming dinner.

701
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: But he didn't really care because it was like one

702
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: of his favorite American dishes was. But if you were

703
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: having brisket, cole Slaw would fit perfectly. That's right, Oh

704
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: my gosh, I like your day. I would allow I

705
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: would allow the cole slave in. All right, So I'm

706
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: gonna go here, all right, I've got this all right

707
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: to me, the turkey's really the offensive line, all right,

708
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: because the turkey's a mainstay, and the turkey's not that exciting,

709
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: just like the old The old line will admit that

710
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: they're not that exciting, but they're totally necessary. They're the centerpiece.

711
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: They gotta be there. But the thing is, no one's

712
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: gonna go watch an old line do their thing without

713
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: all the sides, right, The sides are the thing at Thanksgiving?

714
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: The old line is that basic protein meat. And now

715
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: I got de Shan Watson, who's definitely the dressing, okay,

716
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: because that's the most exciting thing. It's like if the

717
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: look how many times have you been stuffing? Is the

718
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: most exciting thing. No, there's a question, there's no question.

719
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: Now it's got to have the other additives because a

720
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: quarterback can't or is gray or is he the gravy?

721
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: Because I don't even put stuffing on my plate? What?

722
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: All right? Your quarterback drought? Okay? So what do you think? Sorry,

723
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: what do you think desha Watson is? Then? Drew? What

724
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dish is DeShawn Watson? Oh? He was he was

725
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: turkey for me. I mean, I was going along with

726
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: deep off the start. I guess I understand your analogy.

727
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: That's that is very valid. But like Deshaun is the

728
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: straw that stirs this big drink, you know, and like

729
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: he's the turkey. Is the Thanksgiving meal. You don't see

730
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: like mashed potatoes on little kids jumpers and stuff. You

731
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: see turkeys. That's that's what you think of when you

732
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: said green beans Thanksgiving. And we can all relate because

733
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: we've all got little bits because we've been through this.

734
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I'm with deeply. DeShawn is the turkey,

735
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: and I've got my ideas on the other the other

736
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: sides and stuff whenever y'all want it. I just thought

737
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: of something, is the run game the green bean casserole

738
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: or the green here because you don't need it. It's

739
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: is that what is coming down? That is so mean?

740
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: The run gave is the greens have to have it.

741
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: But you know you don't like green bean castrole my

742
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: favorite green now. I like to do brussels. That's my

743
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: favorite thing. He put like the crunchy stuff on top

744
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: of it. It's delicious. I love the green castle, all right.

745
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: So I don't like it at all, but Johnny loves

746
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: it and talked about the crunchy onions on top or

747
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: whatever and how it was it was a must, and

748
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly like that as well. Tim Kelly, I asked

749
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: both Romeo Cordell tim Kelly to put a Thanksgiving food

750
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: on waivers, and Romeo waved peas, and I'm like, all right,

751
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: that's a good that's a good cut. You don't need immediately,

752
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: yea peas on any with any meal. When was the

753
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: last time anybody had peas with a meal? Anyway? I

754
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: mean to me, peas like my mother served peas and

755
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: then I never had him again. But Kelly cut the stuffing.

756
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. He waved stuffing. I'm with Kelly,

757
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: man need to have Thanksgiving dinner. I don't know who

758
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: else is cutting. I like stovetop stuffing, but like that's

759
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: the only I like. All the other stuff is this

760
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, deep Deepie's face right

761
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: now is so priceless stuffing. I like a stuff top

762
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: stuffing too, but I mean, I think a good corn

763
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: bread stale corn bread. You make it into a stuffing,

764
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: like I will eat that three sixty five days a year.

765
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: I just don't think you've been eating the right stuffing, Drew. Okay,

766
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: so I didn't. I didn't have this growing up at all,

767
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: because like we're European descent and everything, so Thanksgiving to

768
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: us was like how do we do this? And my

769
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: mom just made it up. But the in laws are

770
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: big on the sweet potato pie, right, which is basically

771
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 1: like dessert. It's it's kind of this kind of sneaks

772
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: in onto the onto the plate as dessert during dinner.

773
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: It's sweet, it's sweet potatoes, but it's it's like it's

774
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: just sweet and delicious and it's got crunchy nuts or

775
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: whatever on top. I don't even know how they make it,

776
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: but it's delicious. It's like my favorite thing. And to me,

777
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: that's the wide receivers, Okay, because if Deshaun's gonna be

778
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: the dressing or the turkey, whatever you guys said, I

779
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,959
Speaker 1: think the sweet potato pie are these receivers making these

780
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: sensational tasty plays here and there, you know, And no

781
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 1: matter what they're doing, they are making it sweet, they're scoring,

782
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: they're making it entertaining. And to me, that's my sweet

783
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: potato pie for my Thanksgiving plate. You have just redeemed yourself.

784
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: It's because I love a sweet potato. I've never had

785
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: it in a pie, but I have it like a

786
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: casserole where that's what it is. They call it pie,

787
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: but it's not pie. It's yes, yes, or it's like

788
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: the sweet potato. And then you can put either pecans

789
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: or walnuts with some brown sugar. Some people put like

790
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: many marshmallows in there, Like, yes, we have. We have

791
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: all those ingredients for a great sweet potato casserole with

792
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: the texans we've got, We've got the marshmallows in slot receivers,

793
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: We've got going deep with the brown sugar. Its Wolffuller

794
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: and Brenn and cookes. Are they the brown sugar? Are

795
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: they the actual bait? I don't know what direction we're going.

796
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: And now I'm super duper hungry. I don't like that.

797
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. How about this, I always

798
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: skip the sweet potatoes for the record, but let's go,

799
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: let's get some mashed potatoes and gravy in here. How

800
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: about a Bradley Roby pick six potatoes and gravy. I mean,

801
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: I know there are people out there that think mashed

802
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: potatoes are overrated. I like them. I could do some

803
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: scalloped potatoes. I like that too. That's sort of untraditional,

804
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: but it's a potato in some form or fashion. You

805
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: kind of need a potato. And he got close last week.

806
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: He got his hands on the ball, and he's kind

807
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: of due for a pick six. I think we haven't

808
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: seen one since when Tampa Bay last year. Is that

809
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: the last one? I think that's it? Yeah, of course

810
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: that's it. We haven't seen him on this year, so

811
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: that's gotta be it. That would be great. And I

812
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: thought the same thing when he had his hands on

813
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: that ball against the Patriots. I'm like, you did it

814
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: last year against New England, not pick six, but a

815
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: pick on Brady, and I thought he was gonna do

816
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: it again. Yeah, he's kind of due. He jumps a

817
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: lot of balls. I think that some of these quarterbacks

818
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: or these defensive the receivers rather are aware of that.

819
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks as well. But you know, Roby's a good player.

820
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: I mean he's top corner on this team and an

821
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: absolute necessity. I got one for you, Kamy fairban Is

822
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: Cranberry sauce. The kicking game, all right, Some people love them,

823
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: and some people, you know, Johnny loves fair Band, but

824
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: Johnny to Johnny the kicking game. Some football purists are

825
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: like kickers, you know, they don't want to rely on

826
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: the kicker and all that other stuff. So some Cranberry

827
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: sauce is polarizing. Not that Fairband's polarizing, but it's the

828
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: kicking game. It's like, it's gonna be great with if

829
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: you need it, if you don't need it, you're not

830
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna miss it. Right, I'm not gonna miss the kicking game.

831
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: If we're scoring touchdowns all day, I know they'll be

832
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: involved in the extra points. But you got my drift here.

833
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: When I talk about the kicking game, I mean the

834
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: field goal part of it, because I know the kicking

835
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: game implies all of special teams, kickoffs, hunts, blah blah blah.

836
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: I feel like this can be a whole story, an article,

837
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: or a podcast that we could do a much longer

838
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: version of, maybe next year, next year, what we should

839
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: do an entire podcast on this. I feel like we

840
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 1: can go so many different direction. Let's take a break.

841
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: When we come back, We've got some news around the NFL.

842
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: Also Thanksgiving Day games that could be affected or have

843
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: been effected at least or practice weeks have been affected.

844
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: It's all coming up. One final segment of Texans All Access.

00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere. Download the Texans Mobile app for news, videos, alerts,

847
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: How many times have you heard that one? More than once?

848
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: I bet because it just adds up. For example, there

849
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: are two, not one, great reasons to fill up with

850
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: Chevron with Tekron Number one unbeatable cleaning power and number two,

851
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: or maybe this should be number one unbeatable mileage. Plus

852
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: Chevron quits Techron in every grade every gallont of their gasoline.

853
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: So that's two, no way, three unbeatable reasons to go

854
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: with the one and only Chevron with Tekron care for

855

946
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: They are literally just running around all day long because

947
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 1: they have the entire week off. And I really don't care, because,

948
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: you know what, in the times of COVID, I don't

949
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: have to keep up with anyone's homework. But we are

950
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: keeping up with some games that are taking place in

951
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: the next few days, and so it's a time now

952
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 1: that we go around the NFL. What say you guys,

953
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Let's do it. Just like I said,

954
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: the Michigan Sports Network guy told me that, you know,

955
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: he's wondering, he's thinking that people are watching their television

956
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: saying what are the lines doing on my television? And

957
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: then you have the Cowboys and the Washington football team

958
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: playing in the afternoon game, and you're thinking, oh boy,

959
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: but I just think there's something special. It doesn't matter

960
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: what game is on, it's Thanksgiving. You have a captive audience.

961
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: And then the night game will see the Ravens having

962
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: Also it's of issues with the RONA, so we'll see

963
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,959
Speaker 1: what happens with that. Yeah, that's actually the lead story

964
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: around the NFL. The Baltimore Ravens. They had more positive

965
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: COVID tests this morning, and if I was there, I

966
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: would be freaking out a little bit because they now

967
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 1: have ten total positives. That includes players, coaches, and staff members.

968
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: The Ravens conducted their team activities virtually today. They will

969
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: play at Pittsburgh on Thursday. They've already placed running backs JK.

970
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: Dobbins and mark Ingram on the reserve COVID list, and

971
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens, of course, they lost thirty to twenty four

972
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 1: and overtime to the Titans on Sunday. They've lost three

973
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: of their last four games there now six and four.

974
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: It's been such a weird season, and of course they

975
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: got beat by the New England Patriots just before the

976
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: Patriots came to Houston on Sunday. Yeah, look the Ravens.

977
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 1: When I look at the record of the Ravens at

978
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: six and four and then I look at Cleveland, I'm thinking,

979
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: what is going on here? You know, these are the

980
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: Ravens when they were in here week two, I thought, boy,

981
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has really improved. He's got this thing figured

982
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: out now. But it's not all him. They've got other issues. Wink.

983
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: Martindale is not having the kind of defensive coordinator performance

984
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 1: for his side of the football that he was anticipating

985
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: for this year. And I just think, look, Tennessee is

986
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: tough to stop. We've seen it. But when I saw

987
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: what happened to them in overtime, it reminded me of

988
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 1: what happened to the Texans in overtime. And Derek Henry

989
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: walk off TDS in overtime twice in one year. That's ridiculous.

990
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: The Titans have not played great. I know we're not

991
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: talking about them right now at all times, but man,

992
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: they've got the ability to go on another run if

993
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: they get to the postseason relatively healthy again. Yeah, I know,

994
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: We're supposed to talk about the Ravens here, but it

995
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: just it takes me back to the Titans, and it

996
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: makes me mad they are there for the taking. Okay,

997
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: I yeah they've won, congrats to them in the division.

998
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 1: But I think these Titans can. I think the Texans

999
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: can whoop them when they're here, because they've never played

1000
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: well against the Shawn Watson in this building. I just, yeah,

1001
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: I don't. It just sets me off when I see

1002
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: the Titans, you know, burying these teams late after being

1003
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: down so early. It's just like you think the other

1004
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: shoe is gonna drop for them eventually. Got it. It's

1005
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 1: so hard to play from behind, especially when you've got

1006
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: such a good running game and you can't really you know,

1007
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: run the ball when you're down a lot of points.

1008
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: But they always manage to do so, and they do

1009
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 1: and and Derek Kinra will peel off like a ninety

1010
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: two yard run and look, no time off the clock,

1011
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: and they got to run the ball. It always seems

1012
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: to work out exactly in their favor. And I just

1013
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: really thought earlier in the season, when they had all

1014
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: those positive COVID tests and they weren't practicing that it

1015
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: was a doomsday for them, but they seem to only

1016
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: get stronger after that. But something's got to catch up

1017
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: with them defensively. I mean, look, Clowney's on ir now

1018
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: they easily He's not in the picture. I mean, those

1019
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: are two pretty serious acquisitions for them, and like that's

1020
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: got to at some point, it's got to catch up.

1021
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 1: It just knock on wood, right, Tannehill is still playing well.

1022
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: Brown's a really good receiver. I mean he's not an

1023
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: elite guy, but he's such a dangerous playmaker and you

1024
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: just need one or two a game from him, and

1025
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: it just seems like he's a punishing runner. And you know,

1026
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: his physically kind of reminds me of Andrey Johnson, just

1027
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: body type, not as the receiving style, if you will.

1028
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: He's never gonna be as good as Andrey Johnson, but

1029
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: he can be very effective. I kind of like that

1030
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: kind of player, John news Smith. They've got a lot

1031
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: of weapons, and I gotta give a lot of credit

1032
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: to Tannehill, and you're right deep like they can put

1033
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: Henry on the sideline for a series if they need

1034
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: to catch up, like they did against the Texans that

1035
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: last series of regulation and then boom, he's back in

1036
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: the game and overtime because now you have the full

1037
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,280
Speaker 1: period to work with and he was a monster. Obviously

1038
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna be dangerous. The Colts might be more dangerous.

1039
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: We'll see. The Titans have all sorts of psychological problems

1040
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: with Indie, and the Titans are here, regular season finale.

1041
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: No matter what the Texans situation is. I'm curious, just

1042
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: like Drew said, they don't play well against Watson here

1043
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: if the Texans are completely out of it, which you know,

1044
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: look that's the probability, but you're hoping they go on

1045
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: a run and miracles happen. But I just want to

1046
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: at the very least make the Titans miserable and maybe

1047
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: have them lose the division. But I don't want to

1048
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: help the Cults either, So I don't even know what

1049
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: I want. You still have to play the Colts twice. Yeah,

1050
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: you have to play the Titans once, and the Colts,

1051
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: I mean they want an overtime against the Green Bay Packers.

1052
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: Both these teams are sort of hitting their stride. I mean,

1053
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: they're both going to be battling it out for the

1054
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: AFC South. That just really Yeah, I'm Withdrew like if

1055
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: the Texans had won that game against the Titans, who

1056
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: knows how things could have been different moving forward. The

1057
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: other game that is on Thursday. You mentioned it Mark

1058
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys at the Washington football team, and you know what,

1059
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 1: On a side note, I don't really care who's playing

1060
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving because sometimes you're in a Thanksgiving Day conversation

1061
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: and you just want to get out of it. And

1062
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,879
Speaker 1: I have been known to say, oh, I just heard

1063
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: something happen in this game, and it'll be like thirty

1064
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: to nothing, and I'll act like I'm just so engrossed

1065
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: in this game. But you know, it just makes makes

1066
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: it a little bit easier to don't get out of

1067
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: a conversation with love it close game. But I don't care.

1068
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: I'll sit in front of a TV if I'm trying

1069
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: to get out of a conversation. I think you made

1070
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: a great point about Washington playing or a TV you

1071
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: don't like necessarily, You're right. I mean it gives you

1072
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: a little distraction. You don't have to lock in with

1073
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: people in these conversations. If the gain's good, fine, If

1074
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: it's not that good, at least you're watching something football

1075
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 1: related and it's not like like a Super Bowl party.

1076
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't like it all because I want to watch

1077
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: every second of the Super Bowl, including the commercials. Thanksgiving

1078
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: I can you know, I can miss a ton of it.

1079
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't care, you know, except our game, because I

1080
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: will be locked in. Believe me, Yes would be locked in.

1081
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: All right. So the Cowboys they canceled their practice today

1082
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: due to a non COVID nineteen related to medical emergency.

1083
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: It involved their strength coach Marcus Paul. He was immediately

1084
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: transported via ambulance. So they had no Mike McCarthy conference,

1085
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: they had no practice. The Cowboys are three and seven,

1086
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,479
Speaker 1: they're getting ready to host a three and seven Washington team,

1087
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: and so they're actually in the hunt for the NFC East.

1088
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: It's it's just a very bizarre division. But I think

1089
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: the weirdest part of the story was that people were

1090
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: reporting this strength and conditioning coach had passed away earlier,

1091
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: were yes, and his family members were tweeting like this

1092
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: is erroneous, this is not true. So just a little

1093
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 1: social media lesson, like sometimes even verified accounts get things wrong.

1094
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: So I can definitely go with the family members on

1095
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: this one. But then multiple you know, players Eli Manning,

1096
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: like all these players came out and offered their condolences,

1097
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: and the guys still in the hospital, I mean, they

1098
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: were still working through things with them, So anyway, our

1099
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers to them. I just thought i'd bring

1100
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: it up because these are the other two games that

1101
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: are being played on Thursday, and it's a short week

1102
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: for everyone, and all these other teams are dealing with

1103
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 1: all this adversity in addition to COVID on top of

1104
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: everything else. I think the COVID situation is such a

1105
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 1: taxing thing, obviously if you're suffering from it. I'm just

1106
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,760
Speaker 1: talking about it a football context here. With the NFL,

1107
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 1: it's so taxing every day, the testing, the worrying, the

1108
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: uncertainty having to get through and having you know what

1109
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: the Ravens are going through right now. I just it's

1110
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: so difficult to get through it and play this sport

1111
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: at its highest level. The league is pulling it off.

1112
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: I'm blown away. I mean I was blown away last

1113
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: night watching the Bucks and the Rams, thinking, there you

1114
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: are and very few fans in the stands and it's

1115
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: still an exciting game and the league is pulling it off.

1116
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 1: I'm just fascinated and impressed. And I hope it continues.

1117
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: And you know, here we have basketball starting up again

1118
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: with the colleges and the NBA, and I just wanted

1119
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,720
Speaker 1: all to work somehow. All right, Well, I'm always impressed

1120
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: with you guys. Thursday, obviously the game, Mark will be
