1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody. Welcome to this Monday edition to 2 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: Texas All Access from the Honday Texans A Radio studio. 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, Football and Outside our reporter. 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: Glad to be with you on a wonderful Monday evening. 5 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: My goodness is it Goad's Yes, outside, just absolutely awesome outside. 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: Hopefully you've had a chance to get outside and joy 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: why you live in Houston, this weather at this time 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: of year. Because as I check my weather app for 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: Sunday in Nashville, games outside, obviously thirty percent chance of rain. 10 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: High of fifty nine, low of thirty nine. I'm hoping 11 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: that thirty percent can just move on out. Little cold 12 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: snap hit in Nashville. But never note this time of year, 13 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: we've been spoiled. We had such a great day in Miami. 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: Weatherwise can turn out so great. But it's good to 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: be back week eleven on the horizon in Nashville again, 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: the eight and two Titans leading the end and the AFC. 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: Excuse me, everybody's got two losses and the Titans are 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: right there with two. But man, those eight wins have 19 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: been really impressive. The Bills, the Chiefs, the Rams on 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: the road, the Saints. They've done to everybody, anybody and everybody. 21 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: They have been just dominant enough, and hopefully we can 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: slow that train down a little bit on Sunday. So 23 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: look forward to that and we will sort of look 24 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: back look forward with our good pals Andre Ware and 25 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: John McClain, will go around the NFL. There's plenty of news, 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: including tonight's game with the Rams and the forty nine ers. 27 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: On Monday Night Football. There will be an appearance by 28 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: the two newest Rams, so we have that to look 29 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: forward to. Let's kick off the show with our good 30 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: friend Andre Ware. Right about now. Okay, here we go 31 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: coming off and off week. You tell me how beneficial 32 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: is that for players? Is their rust? Does the rest 33 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: help more than the rust hurts? How do you play 34 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: it direct? Sometimes you just need a break. I mean, 35 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: obviously from a football standpoint, you're physically, you need a break. Mentally, 36 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: after you know a certain amount of games, whether it 37 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: win or lose, you just need a break and a 38 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: kind of a rest, be able to hit the reset button. 39 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: And that's that's what this week's allowed the players and 40 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: coaches to a degree. I don't know so much with 41 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: the coaches, but I'm sure they took a day or 42 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: sometime off more so than a normal week, But you 43 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: just need it and it replenishes. You get you get 44 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: your you know, your your taste, butts going again or 45 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: thirsty four football. It's like having it taken away from 46 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: you on with an injury and you're trying to get 47 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: yourself back with a bye week does the same thing, 48 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: and you come back ready to play. Drey. We've talked 49 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: about this a little bit with John McLean and Mark 50 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: and I've talked about this a little bit quarterback decision 51 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: with Tyrod and with Davis, and I thought Wade Smith 52 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: brought up a good point about the offensive line not 53 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: being at one hundred percent and the worry about putting 54 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: Davis behind an offensive line that's not one hundred percent. 55 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: How do you look at the quarterback situation right now 56 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: with Tyrodden with Davis, Well, I don't know was if 57 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: it were one hundred percent when Davis was making his 58 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: last couple of starts anyway, with Laramie's unsel out, so 59 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: he's been without an unhealthy offensive line for pretty much 60 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: the entirety of his the starts he's had, So I 61 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: don't know that that's what does it. I think, you know, 62 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: the coaching staff will look into it and they give 63 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: you the old what gives us the best chance to win, 64 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: But as well, you need to develop a young player, 65 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: a young at quarterback and see if he can somewhat 66 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: be the long term answer here or if you need 67 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: to go looking again in this year's in this upcoming draft. 68 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: So I think it's important from that regard. I don't 69 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: know that this team is uh, you know, there may 70 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: be a one or point five percent chance of running 71 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: the table making a playoff. I don't think so. But 72 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: and so at that point, you want to see with 73 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: the younger players of players that you're gonna have for 74 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: the future, how are they, what are they like, how much? 75 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: What would how would they react given an extended amount 76 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: of playing time? And certainly at quarterback, Ferry, what do 77 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: you make of the way the Titans beat the Saints yesterday? 78 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: They couldn't run the ball well, they played good defense 79 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: and they just sort of manufactured their way to a 80 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: victory against Trevor Simeon and New Orleans. Yeah, I mean, 81 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: I think the biggest surprise in that is what you 82 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: said in the latter is the defense you know, I thought, well, 83 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: this is the only thing that'll stop Tennessee for making 84 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: a run, and or even made that much so getting 85 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: to the playoffs in low and behold the last couple 86 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. That's been one of the stronger suits 87 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: of the football team is the defense. They lose a 88 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 1: guy like Derek Henry, you expect them, that's nine hundred 89 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: and thirty something. You are the production on the ground 90 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: that they've been able to just turn around, hand it 91 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: and know that they were going to get that kind 92 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: of production. He's not there anymore. They bring in Adrian Peterson, 93 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: but he's not himself. But yet it's the defense getting stops, 94 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: getting turnovers and giving the offense, which you know, in 95 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: a limited basis or you know, scale down version of 96 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: what they were, starting to give them more opportunities and 97 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,239 Speaker 1: they're they're making the most out of it. They're playing 98 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: complimentary football. We've heard that term around here, but it's 99 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: true in Tennessee where the offense, defense, and the special 100 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: teams are playing and winning games together. Drey, this is 101 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: actually for both of you guys, But Dre, every team 102 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: in the league has two losses. The AFC right now 103 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: feels like a total and complete crapshoot, Like you could 104 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: throw a dart of the team and go and make 105 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: a case for Cincinnati when the AFC and you're like, okay, 106 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: I could do that. It's kind of all I would imagine. 107 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: It's exactly what the NFL wants, is complete parody. I 108 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: don't know, as you look at this, do you think 109 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: this is good for the NFL that these teams are 110 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: so close that there isn't a dominant team, kind of 111 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: a dominant team villain that everybody wants to see lose 112 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: on a Sunday night, or whatever the case might be. 113 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: How do you kind of look at where the league 114 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: is right now with every team with two losses and 115 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: no real dominant team throughout the league. Wait, let me 116 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: interrupt here. I have plenty of teams I want to 117 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: see lose every week. Okay, No, I think it's I 118 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: think it's great. I think the NFL thinks it's great 119 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: because it keeps us saying a fan base and everybody's 120 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: fan base engaged. And then you know, coming down the 121 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: stretch the end of the season, everybody's kind of still 122 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: in it. That provides an excitement and in a different 123 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: way that from previous years, where there's a dominant, you know, 124 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: whatever team, whether it's the Patriots, and you knew that 125 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: you were just waiting on the super Bowl because we 126 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: know that's one team that's in Okay, where's the NFC 127 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: team gonna come from? So it just kind of keeps 128 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: everybody plugged in. It's exciting when that happens. And I 129 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: love the parody because every week you have no idea 130 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: who's gonna step up and beat beat who. Heck, the 131 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: Jets have a couple of wins on their schedule and 132 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: you can go down the list of Jaguars have won 133 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: a couple of games. So, uh, it's engaging, it's it's 134 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: fun to see, and it's it's it's something that I 135 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: think the league certainly wants. Yeah, absolutely. I look, people 136 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: still root for the Cowboys to lose every week, and 137 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: some people hate this team or that team or love 138 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: this team, and I just think it's, uh, it keeps 139 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: everybody engaged for sure. And you know, teams are still 140 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: racking up wins here. You're right, Johnny, you know two losses. 141 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: You know everybody's got them. But you know, look at 142 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: the Dallas is seven wins, Cardinals eight wins they lost yesterday, 143 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: the Rams seven wins heading into tonight. That's just the NFC. 144 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: I think it does keep things wide open, and that's 145 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: what you want to see if you're the NFL. But 146 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: you guys tell me this my theory on some of 147 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: the blowouts yesterday, because that to me is notable, that 148 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: had Cleveland getting blown out. I know that Mayfield got hurt, 149 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: but it wasn't pretty before that. I mean, the Falcons 150 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: are not a terrible team. They got whitewashed yesterday. The 151 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: Raiders got blown out last night. What am I missing? 152 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: They're more the Jets obviously, Yeah, yeah, the Jets. I 153 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: mean that's that's no surprise there against the Bills, although 154 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: the Bills weren't playing that great. They just lost to 155 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: Jacksonville nine to six. The Cardinals at home. I know 156 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: they have Coult, but they look pretty good last week 157 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: and then they get beat thirty four to tend to 158 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: Cam Newton and the Panthers. My theories, this guy's. I 159 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: think the longer season has a little bit of a 160 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: mental effect here along with the physical dre And you 161 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: tell me this, Yeah, they took away that fourth preseason 162 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: game but the starters weren't playing in that one anyway. 163 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: And you know what, they didn't take away the week 164 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: of work because you're still in the building for those 165 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: two weeks between preseason Game three and the opener. Right 166 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: if they started the season Labor Day, maybe you'd feel 167 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: that a little bit more like, Hey, we're ending on 168 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: time here and we played seventeen games. Instead, they're gonna 169 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: go to January ninth with this thing, and I think 170 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: it has a sort of mental effect, like the finish 171 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: line has been moved farther down the line. Oh, I 172 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: couldn't agree more with you. And uh, you know, as 173 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: we get closer towards the back end of the schedule, 174 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: that's when you're gonna really start to see see it. 175 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna see injuries start to mount up. You're gonna 176 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: see teams have to really prove how how smart that 177 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: you know, their front offices are in bringing in the 178 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: right type of players to keep them going. I mean, 179 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: the Rams are all in. Everybody that's a free agent 180 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: or a star player. Uh, they seem to find some 181 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: salary cap room and and they're able to sign them. 182 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: They lose one great receiver and just replace them with another, 183 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: they get another pass rusher. All that's gonna matter. How 184 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: good are you as a front office to keep your 185 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: team up to par when everybody else starts to whittle down, 186 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: and even your team as it starts to fade down 187 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: the stretch with that extra game, I think they're gonna 188 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: see just how important that is or how much that 189 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: one extra game really affects the season. I think, to 190 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: y'all's point, every single Saturday, I just see a string. 191 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: Like I follow all NFL, every NFL team, I see 192 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: a string of these two guys are being brought up. 193 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: These two guys are out. I mean, Friday is one 194 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: of the most exciting days a week because you get 195 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: the status report for the week and all of a sudden, 196 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: it's Nick Chubb's out for the Browns. Well, think about 197 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: the Browns for a second. Nick chubbs out their identity. 198 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: The Brown's identity is what they want a mall, and 199 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: they want a man with Nick Chubb. Well, if one 200 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: big piece is out and all of sudden you're relying 201 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: on Baker Mayfield, and then Baker Mayfield goes down, all 202 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it turned into the forty five to seven. 203 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: So it's to me, it's it's some of those things 204 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: that there are so many different transactions. I think because 205 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: to y'all's point about the season being longer, you might 206 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: give a guy another couple of weeks. You know, maybe 207 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, Hey, maybe that guy would 208 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: have been ready to go a week five. But you 209 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: know what, maybe we need to hold them for weeks 210 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: seven because we got this a long, this a marri 211 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: my friends and getting through that, and you know, down deep, 212 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: maybe just everybody wants to experience a season like we 213 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: did in twenty nineteen. You know, loose to the Panthers, 214 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: beat the Chargers on the road, beat the Patriots at home, 215 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: but then get beat by the Broncos and next week 216 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: when it's thirty eight to three at half time, fans, 217 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: I mean, that was twenty nineteen. Was all over the place. 218 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: It was just that's the way every single season. But 219 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: they got ten wins that year. The Texas had ten 220 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: wins that year, so I know, I take it. But 221 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: my point being it just that was maybe that was 222 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: the start of like, WHOA, maybe NFL teams are gonna 223 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: have this sort of situation going forward. I don't know. 224 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, Mark Dre, I want to ask you. 225 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: I mentioned the Browns. The brown esterday get housed by 226 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: the Patriots, Mark's most unfavorite team. How scary are the 227 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: Patriots right now with the way their rolling offensively in particular, Well, 228 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: you know, you look at six and four in a 229 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: favorable schedule in front of them. Uh, they're scary and 230 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: I think they can go in a role I think 231 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: when you look at it. Mac Jones is just just 232 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: getting started. He through for just under two hundred yards yesterday, 233 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: be through three touchdown passes as now, that's a that's 234 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: a player that as the season continues, especially at his position, 235 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna start getting better and better. And it's just 236 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: ramping up. You can see it how he controls the offense, 237 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: the confidence in which he plays, in the accuracy, all 238 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: of it. If he can stay healthy and keep those 239 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: healthy around him, they're gonna be They're gonna be dangerous. 240 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: You got Stevenson yesterday who they just kind of unleased 241 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: for one hundred yards twenty carries four hundred yards, so 242 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: the running game, it's like they've been saving him. Johnny, 243 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: as you mentioned for this part in the season, for 244 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: the stretch run and now they've got a fresh set 245 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: of legs carrying the football for him, and you know 246 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna be They're gonna be sound on defense. So 247 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: it's a team I very much think you have to 248 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: have to worry about, Mark oh Man, and I think 249 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: the Bills are worried because to the Bills, the Patriots 250 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: are the Colts to us. Right, you look at that 251 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: historically and oh my gosh, the specter of that Patriot 252 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: logo still haunts us. And they're breathing down their next 253 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: right now in that division. So that's got to be 254 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: tough to take. We got the Rams playing the forty 255 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: nine Ers tonight, Dre and the forty nine Ers are 256 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: a mystery to me because you know, you have the 257 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: coaching staff and everybody. And I'm not anti Kyle Shanahan, 258 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: I want to be clear on this, but if they 259 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: have a losing season, it's one winning season out of 260 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: five years. And the quarterbacks are now healthy apparently, but 261 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna play the Rams. And we mentioned OBJ, but 262 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: last I checked, Robert Woods is a really good run blocker. 263 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm wondering how that effects LA going into tonight. Yeah, well, 264 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, Obj's not doing that he's not signing up for. 265 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: That's that's just something that you either you either want 266 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: to do or you're just or guys aren't doing it. 267 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: Every receiver, they either want to be willing blockers and 268 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: teammates to do some unselfish things. And and uh, he's 269 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: got plenty of the other side of it in and 270 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: where he's not gonna be afraid to ask for the football. 271 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: And I've wondered about how this was without Robert Woods 272 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: or not, how this was going to affect the Rams, 273 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: because I just don't believe you can continue to just 274 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: sign names and have the chemistry not be affected at 275 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: some point and then you go sign one of the guys, 276 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: a guy, that receiver is going to tell you that's 277 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: why he's not in New York, is why he's not 278 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: in Cleveland. He's gonna tell you he needs the ball 279 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: in his hands. Well, we'll see just how much he's 280 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: willing to take a backseat to Cooper Cup because that is, 281 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: you know, the leader and a lot of categories in 282 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: the NFL, and certainly for the for the La Rams. 283 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: I just don't know how that works. I don't know 284 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: that it works past this year and obviously they're ramped 285 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: up and are all in pushing every chick they have 286 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: into the center of the of the board to try 287 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: to in a Super Bowl this year with Matthew Stafford 288 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: and adding Von Miller on the defensive side, it's it's 289 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: been crazy. But I just don't know how that mix 290 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: works when you add obj to it. Dre We saw 291 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: the Colts Week six. Yeah, it was ten to three, 292 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: we had the ball. I thought maybe we could do something. 293 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: Of course, it turned into thirty one to three very 294 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: very quickly, and since then the Colts have played some 295 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: pretty good football. I don't know if I would say 296 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: it's great that you gotta win. Yesterday and Frank Reich 297 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: darious press conference was like, Hey, why not us in 298 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: the AFC? Can you see the Colts led by Jonathan 299 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: Taylor not Carson Wentz. Could you see the Colts making 300 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: a run because of the defense in Jonathan Taylor Or 301 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: do you think that Carson Wentz just does just enough 302 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: dumb stuff to keep them really from being great? Yeah? 303 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: I think at the end of it, it's the latter, 304 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: it's Carson Wins doing some dumb stuff because it's it's 305 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: it's yet to appear, but it's going to a here 306 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: and you see, you know, little snippets of it here 307 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: and there during games when you watch them. But Jonathan 308 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: Taylor is just he's as automatic as they get. They've 309 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: got a great young receiver on the outside, Michael Pittman 310 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: Pittman Junior, and the defense. He kind of speaks for itself. 311 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: Frank writes, a heck of a coach. But you know 312 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: it's it's I'm not doing enough or I'm not the 313 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: star in the in the case of Carson Wentz, so 314 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: something dumb's gonna happen along the way that's gonna cost 315 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: him an opportunity if he plays within himself and decides 316 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: that he wants to just manage this team and not 317 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: be the superstar. Uh yeah, they could, They could go 318 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: on a heck of a run. But I just see 319 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: that coming at some point, which is going to cost 320 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: him a game or two. Just realize two days what 321 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: hard knocks in season baby, the Indianapolis Colts, And you 322 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: know what game's gonna be on that one. You know 323 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: it's coming. I've seen the promos that game with Ty 324 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: coming back. Yeah, great, we get to relive that I'm 325 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: not watching it, Johnny, I watching that all right, Andrea? 326 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: Where Johnny's dray? Can I complain about the college Football 327 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: poll just for a moment here and see if you agree? 328 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: Every week, man, every week I'm complain about it. I'm 329 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: big on I'm big on old school. If you lose, 330 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: that's bad. It's bad to lose. So Alabama, we saw 331 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: you lose to Texas A and M. Which, look, I 332 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: know the Yaggies are a much better team than I 333 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: guess they were a few years ago. But come on, 334 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: it's nine and one the record. I know Cincinnati's been 335 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: playing close games against a quote lesser schedule, but they 336 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: continue to win. And how about this? Never mind Cincinnati, 337 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: how about the buck Eyes. They lost to Oregon, which 338 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: is a really good team. Why what in Organ's nine 339 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: in one right now? Breathe them down the next of 340 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: everybody else. They're fourth in the AP. Why is Alabama 341 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: number two? I have a problem with this. Just knock 342 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: them down at least a peg here. Because Alabama beating 343 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: to Mexico State to death this weekend. That's that's that's 344 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: that's why. I mean the style points. Can you imagine 345 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: the style points of Alabama against New Mexico State. That's 346 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: what it propelled them in front of Cincinnati, who you 347 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: know right now is getting everybody's best. Uh, they're not 348 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: completely healthy, but you know they're they're still winning games 349 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: and then an impressive fashion. It's it's probably it might 350 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: be one of the more complete teams that I've seen 351 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: this year in terms of experience on offense, a defense, 352 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,239 Speaker 1: and special teams. The depth that they have on in 353 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: all three phases. Uh, it's a good sound football team. 354 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: I can't wait until it's the University of Houston versus 355 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bearcats in the American Conference Championship. That's gonna 356 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: be a hell of a game. It's going to be 357 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: a hell of a game. But I've been screaming from 358 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: the mountaintops. You guys are my witnesses that this thing 359 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: is not tailored for Group five teams. Everybody keeps telling me, oh, no, 360 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,959 Speaker 1: this is the this is what you have to do. 361 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: There is nothing and I meet zero zero that a 362 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: Group five school can do to get in the playoffs. 363 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: Forget about it. When the first after they go to 364 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: Notre Dame and beat Notre Dame on their home field 365 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: and the first poll comes out by the committee and 366 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: they're like, six kidding me. I mean, you are kidding me. 367 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: They're rolling up everybody, And I mean it's the style points, 368 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: because it's just not in Luke Fickle to run the 369 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: score up on people. But that's what all of a sudden, 370 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: that's become part of the criteria that the committee wants 371 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: to see, especially from Cincinnati. Doesn't matter if it's anybody else, 372 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: but especially from Cincinnati. We got to see you roll 373 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: up some people. It's never been there in the formula. Yeah, 374 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: in the formula, but it's always been there in the 375 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: backs of the mines or back in the day, in 376 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: the fronts of the mines. And remember when we had 377 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: the BC yes with all the computer polls and everything, 378 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: and they're like, well, we're gonna take out margin of 379 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: victory fourteen point max or whatever. Yeah, right, because the 380 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: humans still see the games, and they're vulnerable the style 381 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: points because they just see the scores of a lot 382 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: of these games. A lot of the voters, especially the 383 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: Coach's poll, which is really ridiculous. How about this for 384 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: the Coach's poll, Uh, the Buckeys are ahead of Oregon 385 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: because I don't know why Oregon beat them head to head. 386 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: I don't know why. Yeah, it's on their home field. Yeah, 387 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: hit them on their home field, and they're ahead of them. 388 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: And it's because, you know, I don't know who who 389 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: really looks at that and the coaches poll, I'm not 390 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: sure that that one's real accurate to go about. But 391 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: still you gotta be able to get that right. Hey, 392 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: Ohio statega beat at home against Oregon on their home turf. Uh, 393 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: go ahead, and let's do the right thing here. Pay 394 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: half attention, you know when you're when you're doing these things, 395 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: they're filling out your weekly ballot to to send in. 396 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: It's crazy. I mean, it is absolutely crazy. At one point, 397 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: I thought, what Michigan got beat by Michigan State, but 398 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: they were ranked ahead of them a week or so ago. 399 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: It's it's just it's amazing to me. No, they're in 400 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: the coach's polled, Michigan's ahead, and in the AP Michigan 401 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: States ahead of Michigan. Okay, well, the aps media they're 402 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: they're actually paying attention to what's going on. That's that's 403 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: about the most legit one is the media. Here's but 404 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: here's the I think here's the question that college football 405 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: fans probably want to know more than anything else. Tre A, 406 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: is there a team that can beat Georgia? And b 407 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: if so, who is it? Alabama can be Georgia, and 408 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: I think they can be beaten by a lot of teams. 409 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: I mean they're there are schools. I think Ohio State 410 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: right now, the way they're playing, provided they get in uh, 411 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: they can go toe to toe with either one of them. 412 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: I think Georgia losing the kid to some off the 413 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: fields X you know stuff Adam and or something. Yeah, yes, 414 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: hurts their defense tremendously and had another big guy into 415 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: are your defensive lineman go down? It's just chipping away 416 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: at it. And that's why as the season goes on, 417 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: you really have to start paying close attention to who's 418 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: in the lineup and who's not because a player here 419 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: and there weekends a team and then all of a sudden, 420 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: you've got you've got some problem going in Tennessee jumped 421 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: on Georgia. I think we're able to come back and 422 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: take control of the game. But let's just say that's 423 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: a team with a really good running game to jumps 424 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: them like that, and now all of a sudden, you 425 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: got a sixty minute, you know, sixty minute fight on 426 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: your hands. I think both teams could be add We 427 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: celebrated Alabama at the start of the season that they 428 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: are unbeatable, and then they go to Texas A and 429 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: M to Kyle Field and we find out that they aren't. 430 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: I think George is the same way. Georgia manages to 431 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: give away a game every year that they're not supposed 432 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: to lose. Is we still got plenty of time? Trey? 433 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: What do you have in the college circuit this week? 434 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: You get to stay home all week, Guys, I'm at 435 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: you have h and Memphis this week, so to do 436 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: the coups and uh, but yeah, this I don't know 437 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: that a lot of cougs want to see me coming 438 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: because most of the time when I go over there 439 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: to do a game, it's not it's not favorable for 440 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: the coups. So that's in the back of my I'm 441 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: not sure that's I'm sure it's in the in the 442 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: front forefront of some. But I enjoy it. I love 443 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: watching the guys play.

So this will be a good one. Ahead. 446 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: Tell anybody. We won't tell anybody. Trey, I think it's 447 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: out there. I gotta I gotta see some cougs hoops too. 448 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: This uh this, Oh yes, conferences absolutely one of my favorites, 449 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: kept Kelvin Sampson. Love watching his team's play because it's 450 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: defense first and and they they get after you on 451 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: that into the floor.

I'm sure there's 472 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: probably a different way. That's just sounds did write to me, 473 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: But then again, my highest level of Spanish to Spanish two, 474 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: so excuse me. I really want to learn and I 475 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,959 Speaker 1: need to learn Spanish. I need to do like babble 476 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: or Rosetta Stone or whatever to help me learn Spanish. 477 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:16,239 Speaker 1: I know this that one McLain is the best. He 478 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,239 Speaker 1: is the best, There's no doubt. I don't know how 479 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: you say is the best in Spanish, though, I gotta 480 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: work on this, I'm telling you either way. Here's John 481 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: with myself and Mark. Let's start with the Tennessee Titans. 482 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: Next up for the Houston Texans in a close one 483 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: against the Saints. How did you see that one? Saints 484 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: have kicker problems with will lots out for the year. 485 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: Their kicker Brian Johnson missed two extra points in the 486 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: two point laws. They didn't have five offense and starters 487 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: including Alvin Kamara times of course missing Derrick Henry there 488 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: two and oh without him. But it's very interesting there. 489 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: They don't have a running game. They average two point 490 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: three yards to carry. They had I think sixty four 491 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: yards rushing Ryan Tannehill one touchdown pass one rushing. He 492 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: threw Fronly I think two hundred and thirteen yards with 493 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: Julio Jones on our and he's been a wasted second 494 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: round pick so far. They had somebody I've never heard 495 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: of named Marcus Johnson have a hundred yards including a 496 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: fifty yard game, so Texans are gonna have to worry 497 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: about him. Wouldn't the Texans like to play the Titans 498 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: when A J. Brown had one catch for sixteen yards 499 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: and that's what he did, so they have no Derrek Kenry. 500 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: They had a J. Brown with one kid I are 501 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: and they still beat the Saints and they are They 502 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: have beaten now five teams in a row that went 503 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: to the playoffs last year, and they have this winning 504 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: streak coming in so they're not doing it with offense. 505 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons two more sacks, five sacks in the last 506 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: two games. Simmons and Harold Landry, they're outside linebacker. Those 507 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: two guys have become big time pass rushers, and Simmons 508 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: is gonna give them Aaron Donald kind of fits, So 509 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: they have to have a good plan for him. I 510 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: don't want to see Simmons. I've talked about him since 511 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: he was a rookie. I was, yeah, he was number four, 512 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: my Harris one hundred back a couple of years ago, 513 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,719 Speaker 1: and then he had the knee injury, and then of 514 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: course the Titans went out on a little bit of 515 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: a limp, thinking, Okay, he's gonna be all right, we'll 516 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: take this a long term thing. Wow, Holy smokes. Now, John, 517 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: it's a topsy turvy season. We talked about that all year. 518 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give you a hundred bucks. You're gonna 519 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: go to Caesar's for my friends Caesar's rewards, and you're 520 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: gonna go out to Vegas and you're gonna put it 521 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: on one AFC team to win it all. What AC 522 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: team do you pick and why? Based on the team 523 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: I saw last night, just obliterate the Raiders. That would 524 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: be the Chiefs. Are the Chiefs back five touchdown passes 525 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes, no receptions, four hundred yards. They just 526 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: bombarded the Raiders, and they have slowly overcome inconsistencies on offense, 527 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: including Mom's turnovers. Their defense has been playing pretty well 528 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: for a while now. I wouldn't bet on any team 529 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: over them. If Derry Hendry were playing right now, I'd 530 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 1: say the Titans. Titans have an eighty two record. They 531 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: have the best record in the AFC, tied for the 532 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: best record in the NFL. But I don't think that 533 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: you can get through January and win in February without 534 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: a running game. And right now they have Deonte Foreman 535 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: and Adrian Peterson, and I just don't think they're going 536 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: to get to the Super Bowl. And there's nobody in 537 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: the West other than the Chiefs. Baltimore lost at Miami 538 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: worse than the Texans lost at Miami. Cleveland has just 539 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: got decimated by New England and rookie quarterback mc jones 540 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: and Buffalo looked really good for a change, and the 541 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: Bills ran the ball well for a change. So one 542 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: of the odds Kansas City is going to reach three 543 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowls in a row, So I would say I 544 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: just because the odds are against that, I would I 545 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: think I would put my money on the Bills based 546 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: on what I saw yesterday. I just think we have 547 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: a long way to go. It's going to be interesting 548 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: to see. General. Do you think and this is kind 549 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: of an offseason thing, but do you think that we 550 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: need some kind of booth review official to swoop in 551 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: when you have a terrible call like Ryan Tannehill roughing 552 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: the passer against the Saints yesterday? You had one against 553 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: the Dolphins on Lamar Jackson. These were ridiculous. I mean, 554 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: if the quarterback doesn't leave his feet and it's not 555 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: that damaging, why and it's bang bang, I mean it's 556 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: it's a it's a hit right after the throw or 557 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: as the throw is being released. Why call that? I 558 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: get it in real time. It's tough to make these calls, 559 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts on that guy was right 560 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: there to call it hitting the head and it wasn't 561 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: hit in the head, and I would definitely have somebody 562 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: reviewing it. I think that calls of you as a 563 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks should be reviewable because they go out of their 564 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: way to protect them as they're spoken. That's the way 565 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: the NFL likes it, you know, that's a reason we 566 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: see quarterbacks playing into their forties or at forty. Then 567 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: the old days, if you hit thirty, you were on 568 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: the way down because they could hit you in the knees, 569 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: in the face, they could high low you, they could 570 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: pick you up and throw you down. And now they 571 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: protect them. And that's good because the NFL is all 572 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks. But I think it should definitely be 573 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: reviewed because that cost the Saints a touchdown and ultimately 574 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: it would have been the difference and winning. I mean, yeah, 575 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: the Titans scored and it was a difference in winning 576 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: and losing. And it's not fair Johnna making you the 577 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: football's are for the Texans. What do you do at 578 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback position over these last eight weeks? Well, if 579 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: I thought Davis Mills was going to improve by play, 580 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: I would play David's Mills. But on the other hand, 581 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: you're trying to show your players that you want to win, 582 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: because it's all you talk to them about is winning, 583 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,479 Speaker 1: not rebuilding. And if you have a healthy Tyrod Taylor 584 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: standing on the sideline because you're building for the future, 585 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: when a lot of these guys won't be there. It's 586 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: almost like it's almost like unfair, And you know it's 587 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: in your nature to try to win, whether you do 588 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: or not. You know, Detroit tried to win in Pittsburgh 589 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: and kind of a blooper bawl and I wrote the 590 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: Texans didn't play yesterday and they still lost because had 591 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: the Lions won, that would have been tied for the 592 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: first overall pick. I'm writing a column about that tomorrow, 593 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: about way trying to win and trying to get high 594 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: draft choices when you're you know you're rebuilding, and what 595 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: message that sends to the players. Now, I think watching 596 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: a couple of games, if Taylor plays bad again against Tennessee, 597 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: I mean really bad like he did at Miami, then 598 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: I think you need to go back to meals. But 599 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: if your plan is to have meals watch from a 600 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: different vantage point and that's part of his learning process, 601 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: and then you put him back in and you play 602 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: him in the crunch time of December, I've got no 603 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: problem with that. But I think you definitely have to 604 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: go back to Mills at some point because you need 605 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: to see more. I watched the Jackson the Colts a 606 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: little bit yesterday general and the Jacks are definitely playing better. 607 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: They had a strip sack against them on that final 608 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: drive that could have taken the lead for them. But 609 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: the Cults, it just seems so shaky with Carson Wentz. 610 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: He threw another left handed path yesterday. This one was 611 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: not intercepted, it was complete for a short distance, but man, 612 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: oh man, it looks a little shaky. Despite the fact 613 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: that they tend to win lately. The Colts have won 614 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: four out of five. They beat in the Texans forty nine, Ers, Jets, 615 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: and Jaguars, not exactly a murderer's row eight and twenty seven. 616 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: In the other game they won was Miami, So am 617 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: I believer in the Colts know they had a block 618 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: punt returned for a touchdown. The Jaguars defense is playing 619 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: very well. They didn't give up a touchdown last week. 620 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor scored a touchdown in this game. They gave 621 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: up three field goals and had that block punt, and 622 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: Wentz did not throw an interception, but he didn't have 623 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: a touchdown either. His rating was seventy eight one. And 624 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: then if you look at what Trevor Lawrence did. He 625 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: had one hundred and sixty two yards and he had 626 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: no touchdowns, interceptions and fifty nine five rating. And they 627 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: were in four hundred and seventy nine yards with seventy 628 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: seven came on a Jamal Agnew or receiver ran for 629 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: a touchdown. So Jacksonville's offense is still struggling, but their 630 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: defense is playing better. Yeah, Jamal Agnew they have used 631 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways. Now. It was interesting 632 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: because in week one I never remember this distinctly, when 633 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: Agne was in the backfield, every defensive player for US 634 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: started pointing at him, like that's the guy thirty nine. 635 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: Like our guys were very aware. Yea, but Jamal Agnew 636 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: and they I guess Urban Mark kind of caught on 637 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: at that particular point. John the Rams end up with 638 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: O B Jay He's now remember the Rams. And then 639 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: on Friday they lose Robert Woods. First of all, Odell 640 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: Beckham juniors fit with the Rams and B. Were you 641 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 1: surprised that he ended up with the Los Angeles Rams? 642 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: I was. I guess we shouldn't have been since de 643 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson wanted out of there. That shows you what 644 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: he's all about. This is a playing for a team 645 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: as chance to go to the Super Bowl. He was 646 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: wanting to get cut so he could go for another 647 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: team where he'd get the ball. More. I feel bad 648 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: for Robert Woods. His dad, Robert Woods, lives here. Former 649 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: oiler and at timing, you know, signing Odell Beckham Jr. 650 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: Was perfect. I'm sure he's going to get on the 651 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: field tonight at San Francisco. Forty nine. Ers have been 652 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: terrible at home. They're owing for this year. They're like 653 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 1: thirteen games under five hundred since they moved into Levi's stadium. 654 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: So I certainly think the Rams are going to win. 655 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: But he talked about a guy writing to the rescue 656 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: with a contract on the line, and he should have 657 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder after all the negativity surrounded 658 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: him in Cleveland. You know, he's been hurt a lot 659 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: of the last two years. So it's time for him 660 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: to be the receiver he's supposed to be in an 661 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: offense that'll probably get him the ball. One of the 662 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: things interesting is that offense still goes through Cooper. He 663 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: and Jerry Rice only two that put up the kind 664 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: of numbers he's put up through ten games, and so now, 665 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: they're still gonna throw him the ball, and as long 666 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: as ob J doesn't mind being the number two, there 667 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't be an issue. John. If the Niners continue to 668 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: lose and it's with Garoppolo and Lance both healthy, no 669 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: matter how they juggle the quarterback situation. What's Kyle Shanahan's 670 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: situation there in your opinion, Well, he just signed a 671 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: long term extension in the off season, so they're not 672 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: going to fire him after one a season like this, 673 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,799 Speaker 1: he don't have the injury excuses they had last year. 674 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: I expect, and I thought this all long. By the 675 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: time the Texans get there in January for their last 676 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: preseason the last regular season game on the road that 677 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: Trey Lance would be playing, we'd had Lance versus his Mills, 678 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: and the Texans fans should want the forty nine ers 679 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: to keep losing because their pick belongs to Miami, and 680 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: Miami will make another run at Deshaun Watson. I think 681 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: Carolina will, I think Denver will. I'm sure there will 682 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: be some other teams just the matter, I feel proved 683 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: going to there, but man, oh man, Kyle's not going anywhere. Well, 684 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: what do you think is the attractiveness of the Dolphins 685 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: situation to the Watson camp, if there's a coaching and 686 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: general manager change there, if they don't. You know, they 687 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: look good the last two games, but what if that 688 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: doesn't continue for them and there's a change made. Well, 689 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 1: my personal opinions, they're not going to fire those two 690 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: guys after a bad season, after they were ten and six. 691 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: They were so fired up about him after three years 692 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 1: for Brian Flores, I think he would get another season 693 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: and look the way he started calling the defense and 694 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: that defense, Somebody's going to figure out those zero blitzes 695 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: in which safety's blitz more next generations. Dad's had their 696 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: safety's blitzing more than any time in that last game 697 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: against Baltimore than any game since they came into business 698 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: in two thousand and sixteen. At some point, somebody's going 699 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 1: to figure that out. But they've won two in a row. 700 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: People are pumped up. You know, they still have quarterback 701 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: issues too. It came off the bench, but didn't light 702 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: it up, and you know, the attractiveness, I think they'll 703 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: be there and I'm not so much. And I don't know. 704 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: Edn't talked to Watson, but why he wants to go 705 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: to Miami. Maybe it has a lot to do with 706 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: just South Florida. A lot of athletes lived there in 707 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: all season. They love it there. And I think Watson, 708 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,959 Speaker 1: knowing him and watching him, is very confident quarterback who 709 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: probably thinks wherever he goes, if they need to be 710 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: turned around, he's a quarterback to do it. There is 711 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,240 Speaker 1: a general Sean McClean who I know will be taking 712 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: in tonight's game the forty nine Ers and the Rams 713 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: on Monday Night. Now, I don't know if he will, 714 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: but I know you should be taking in Monday Night 715 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: football with a Miller Light.

All right, let's go round in the league. 739 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: Some news sun in Pittsburgh. Where my goodness, the two 740 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: most important players I think on that Steelers defense. Who 741 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: there's news about some good news? Some bad news? Oh 742 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: it was bad news. First, Maca Fitzpatrick safety put on 743 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen list. Ben Roethlisberger was placed on the 744 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,280 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen list last week, so they have two major 745 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: players going on to COVID nineteen list in the last 746 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: few days. Now. The good news bad news part is 747 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: JJ Watt's brother TJ, had MRI for both hip and 748 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: knee injuries. The nice news good news is there is 749 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: little if any structural damage to Watt's hip and knee, 750 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 1: although he is pretty sore. But the good news is 751 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,280 Speaker 1: that he might be able to play this week against 752 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: LA Chargers. The Steelers had a tie, which Nagi Harris 753 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: didn't even know they could do in the NFL. He 754 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: thought they would just keep playing when the game's over. 755 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: They were like, we gotta go, Bro, game's over. No, 756 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: it's not we're top No, it's over, Nagi. No, Yeah, 757 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,359 Speaker 1: it's not like college. But at least there's some good 758 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 1: news with the Steelers. TJ went out in that game 759 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: in the third quarter, miss the rest of the game. 760 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: Hopefully he's gonna be okay, but apparently no major injury 761 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 1: four TJ Watt. Tonight, the Rams are taken on A 762 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,720 Speaker 1: forty nine, and it appears as if the La Rams 763 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,799 Speaker 1: will have both von Miller, who's been dealing with an 764 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 1: ankle injury he's ready to go, and Odell Beckham Junior 765 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: apparently is ready to go now again. Good news bad news, 766 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: which I often say to Mark and Dre during the game. 767 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: You want the good news with bad news. Sometimes I 768 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: just say, do you want the bad news or the 769 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: bad news? The good news bad news situation is that 770 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior may actually see the field tonight because 771 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: the Rams will be without Robert Woods, who tore his 772 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: acls we talked about with the general. He tore his 773 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,440 Speaker 1: acl on Friday and practice the same day that Odell 774 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: Beckham Junior showed up at practice gut punch upon gut punch. 775 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: So no Robert Woods, but potentially in OBJ sighting tonight, 776 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: and also Von Miller siting for the Rams, which would 777 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: be good for them. All right, that's good news for 778 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: tonight's show. Appreciate you guys being here. We'll see you 779 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:43,800 Speaker 1: next time, and as always, go Texans.
