Speaker 1: show today. We got Tomko, we got Tomiko reloaded. We've

00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: got Juice Scruggs, got a little colored with Devin's singletary.

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: We got safety's coach Steven Agatoke. We have got Charles Davis,

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: who's gonna be calling the game for CBS with us.

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,319
Speaker 1: Who's gonna join Drew after a little bit. You talk

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: about it. Awesome human being. Charles Davis is definitely that.

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: So I think we've got plenty in the whole shirp

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: for you. Got my keys and my predictions. But we

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: kick off every show with Demko Ryans. He sat down

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: with Mark vandermir He was all ball ready for this

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: one on coach.

18
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: I know every week it different, but you ran the

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: ball well last week. Is there anything you can take

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 3: with you from that performance into this game against the

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 3: Browns and really want.

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 4: To continue to build off what our whole line did

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 4: last week. Thought they did a really nice job of

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 4: half placement, targeting and really displacing the defensive line. So

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 4: really want to do that this week as well. This team,

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 4: they're attacking front if we're on guys, and we can

27
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 4: get some lanes on this team right if we're in

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 4: the right spot, and motors continue to run the ball well,

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 4: So we really want to get right back to that

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 4: again this week.

31
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: I know you've answered forty seven questions about Miles Garrett already,

32
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: but what about the rest of the front.

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: What makes them so good? Coach?

34
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, the front is good because they they play as

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 4: one right there, like I said, or they're attacking. They're

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 4: aggressive upfront, and that's what makes them good. They're aggressive linebackers,

37
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: they're aggressive man cover team. So when you have such

38
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 4: an ultra aggressive team like it, that front is tough,

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: right and guys are going to field space very quickly.

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 4: So when you do get a lane, knowing that it

41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: may close quickly, you got to hit it with speed.

42
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: What makes it to we have to throw on them?

43
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: Is it the pass rush or the secondary or both?

44
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: Really it's both tied together.

45
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 5: Right.

46
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: With that attacking front, right, they're gonna get pressure on

47
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: a quarterback quicker and now they play tighter coverage. So

48
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: with our routes, like we have to be precise on

49
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 4: our routes. Receivers have to attack edges, they have to

50
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 4: win with their feet at the top of the route.

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 4: We can beat these guys in man coverage, but it's

52
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 4: going to be a great deal of precision by the

53
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 4: receivers of being on it and a quarterback sometimes having

54
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: having to let it go a little bit early.

55
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: I know you have a decade and a half of

56
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: tape on Joe Flacco, some of it involving you personally,

57
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: But are you really focused on twenty twenty three flat

58
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: as far as studying the Browns of what they might do.

59
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely focused on the twenty twenty three Joe Flacco

60
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: in these past three games and what he's done, you see.

61
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 4: You know, they've continue to give him a little bit

62
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 4: more as he's progressed throughout these past three games and

63
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: he's done a really good job of managing that team

64
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: and getting them in a good spot. Right, But we

65
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 4: still want to be able to be aggressive get after him, right,

66
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: put pressure on him. Feel that pressure from our front

67
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: foward defensive linemen and also from our secondary right. We

68
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 4: want to be aggressive in this game, and I think

69
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: that will change the game for us.

70
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: They lost Tchubb a long time ago, but they still

71
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: run the ball pretty well.

72
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've done a really good job. You're talking this

73
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: is one of the one of the best schemes in

74
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: the league, and you talk about how well coached they are,

75
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: it really jumps off the tape. Like the coaching with

76
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 4: the offensive line, the schemes, each game plan of how

77
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 4: they attack a defense. They really know what they're doing,

78
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 4: so they're going to know our weaknesses. They're going to

79
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 4: know like where to attack us. Now we have to

80
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: combat that with playing fast, playing physical, knocking those guys

81
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: back and making plays on their side line of scrimmage.

82
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: I notice your practice in the stadium a lot on Fridays,

83
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: particularly for home games. Does that help with the kicking

84
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: game and getting used to the lights and being back

85
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: at an RG stadium.

86
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: That's what it starts with the kicking game, making you're

87
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: emmy all right, make sus your cam, making sure they're

88
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 4: they're comfortable right in that spot. And also just for

89
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 4: our offense. I like practicing indoors because I want them

90
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: to get used to scoring touchdown.

91
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: Was getting any end zone.

92
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: In our stadium and feeling what that feels like over

93
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: and over and over again, and just take something off

94
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: of the guys. I think everybody has a really good vibe.

95
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: And we go inside on Fridays.

96
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: Coach, thanks a lot, Merry Christmas and good luck, Marry Christmas.

97
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: Great stuff is always from Demico, Ryans and Mark Vandermuir.

98
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: Marcus goes to grow me next because we got to

99
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: catch up with safety coach Steven at a Gokay who

100
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: is absolutely fantastic. You want to hear from a future

101
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: head coach, Well gear up, here's coach at a Gokay

102
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: who is absolutely fantastic.

103
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: Here with us in the Hundai Texans radio studio. It's

104
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 3: Safety's coach Steven at a gok coach.

105
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: How's it going great? How you doing great?

106
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: To have you on once more. So now you're a

107
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 3: veteran of the program. This is good stuff, very nice stuff.

108
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: Right, it's right.

109
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: So you've coached seventy two safeties this year. Now there's

110
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 3: been a lot of action, a lot of different guys

111
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: in and out of the lineup. How difficult is it

112
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 3: to keep it all straight with the aside everything these

113
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: players have to know to be effective coach.

114
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 6: I think day in and day out, there's always challenges

115
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 6: in football with strategy, different schemes, different things like that.

116
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 7: As far as game planning, been blessed.

117
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 6: Every guy that's stepped foot in that room, step foot

118
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 6: in this building, has been committed to this defense and

119
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 6: to this team. So going through the learning process and

120
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 6: going through the adjustments every day hasn't been too difficult.

121
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 6: Like it starts with the players commitment. They've committed to

122
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 6: making the changes, making the adjustments, and so I feel

123
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 6: like I have the easiest part just presenting information. They

124
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 6: go out there and execute. So it's a it's been

125
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 6: been good having those guys coach.

126
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: The one constant for the most part of their missing

127
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: a few games at the beginning with a long issue

128
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: is Jaelen Petrie. What have you seen in the growth

129
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: of Jalala Petrie in this year two.

130
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 6: Jalen's definitely grown a lot, starting from last year to

131
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 6: OTA's to training camp, from leaving game one and then

132
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 6: coming back in the home game against pitt I, a

133
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 6: lot of growth on development as a player as a man,

134
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 6: and I'm really really happy to be around him.

135
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about Adrian Amos because he comes over.

136
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: He was a New York Jet and he's able to

137
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: play for he has to play now Jimmy goes out,

138
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: he comes in. What about that adjustment coming from another team,

139
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 3: getting used to a system. We just talked about it

140
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 3: in general, but him specifically.

141
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 6: Coach, it's been, man, it's been fun like being around

142
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 6: those guys. First of all, played a lot of football.

143
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 6: Him DeAndre Houston Carson who played his first week against

144
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 6: the Colts, right, yeah, him and Amos actually were teammates

145
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 6: in Chicago as well, like happened with Dac the first

146
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,559
Speaker 6: Then Amos came in played his first week, and having

147
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 6: those guys who have been familiar with each other, that

148
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 6: helped me a lot. Like you know, even like late

149
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 6: night man, they don't feel like hitting up a coach

150
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 6: and they talk to each other, you know what I mean.

151
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 6: So it's been it's been great having those guys, and

152
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 6: Amos was able to pick it up and get in

153
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 6: their first game and go in there and help us coach.

154
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: When you have new players like that, they're vets, They've

155
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: been around.

156
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: They've seen some things.

157
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: What's the main thing that you want to get across

158
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: to them to be able to go out and feel

159
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: confident that you feel confident that, Okay, they're not gonna

160
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: blow coverages, They're gonna be in the right spot, They're

161
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: gonna know what to do what we call this defense.

162
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: How do you what do you give to them? I

163
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: know there's a ton you could give to them on

164
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: the buffet, but what do you want them to know

165
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: is they go into the game or have to get

166
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: ready for a game and they've only been here for

167
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: a week or two.

168
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 6: For a veteran players in particular, every scheme is not

169
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 6: the same across the league. You could have one coacher

170
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 6: entire career. Before you made your second stop, you could

171
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 6: have had maybe five six different different schemes. But like

172
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 6: for the most part, most people play, you know a

173
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 6: few different coverages and there's some familiarity even though it's

174
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 6: different terms. So sometimes it's only as simple as just

175
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 6: translating the language. Gotch and so we tell these guys, okay,

176
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 6: these are the expectations. This is the integrity of the coverage,

177
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 6: and now how you get to that point, you can

178
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 6: use some of your wisdom and use some of your

179
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 6: experience to help you.

180
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: Yep, Steven Adake safeties coach joining us. So we see

181
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: out there in the practice field doing some stuff with

182
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: the safeties alone. What is it like in the building.

183
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: What's the rest of the day like? Because we know

184
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: position groups break out in your meeting rooms. Do you

185
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: break out with the corners? I know there's a defensive

186
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: meeting from time to time? How do you handle all that?

187
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: Coach?

188
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 6: We spend a lot of time together with the corners

189
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 6: and nickels, and then when it's time to split up

190
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 6: and work some things individually, we do that. But Corey

191
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 6: Unlin and Dino Vasso do a great job when we

192
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 6: are together. We all share information, we all get these

193
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 6: guys coached up and make sure they're all on the

194
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 6: same page.

195
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 7: There's no ego, there's no anything involved.

196
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 6: So like, whatever is the best for the players to

197
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 6: put them in position to be successful is what we're

198
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 6: gonna do. No matter who's presenting information or who's teaching it.

199
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: How much of the assignment is Hey, do this fundamental

200
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: basic scheme versus watch out for that receiver because he

201
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 3: likes to go across the bit or whatever they like

202
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 3: to do individually, because different skill sets present themselves week

203
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 3: to week.

204
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 6: Right, each team, every offense that we face is different

205
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 6: teams that have like you know, you're on third down

206
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 6: and there's a scheme, play a scheme for somebody in

207
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 6: this position.

208
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 7: And there's other times there's a talent play.

209
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 6: Well, hey, we're going to the most talented guy in

210
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 6: the field, and so like, it doesn't matter how many

211
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 6: guys are over there covering somebody, that ball's going there,

212
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 6: you know, And so wisdom with veteran guys, it'll tell

213
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 6: you that like, hey, you know, I'm not going to

214
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 6: use names, but just any team like, hey, that ball's

215
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 6: going there. And so you know, your assignment is to

216
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 6: maybe have your eyes somewhere, but you can have some

217
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 6: awareness of where another established player is in the game, and.

218
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: You know, for example, just.

219
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 6: Using I guess, you know, I don't want to say

220
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 6: common sense is always common, but you know, football awareness

221
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 6: and instincts is everything.

222
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: And when you get kind of a read on a

223
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: guy like Joe Flacco the last few weeks, he seemingly

224
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: likes number eighty five, David n Joku, Harrison Bryan's very good.

225
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: Those are assignments that your guys might have to come

226
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: up with. What do you see in the Browns, especially

227
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: those two tight ends, coach.

228
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 6: I think their tight end room is excellent. Bryant and

229
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 6: and Djoku both talented players, and they also have a

230
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 6: slew of receivers, like talents to receivers, not just okay,

231
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 6: like Amari Cooper is a real dude. Elijah Moore is

232
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 6: a real dude. Those guys are talented. I don't know

233
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 6: what the numbers are on the year and.

234
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 7: Statistically what they say, that is a very very talented team,

235
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 7: you know, and you can't take them lightly.

236
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: If a quarterback gives gifts for the holidays to an

237
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: offensive line, does a safety give a gift to the

238
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: D line or the front seven? Because if those guys

239
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 3: get the pressure on the quarterback, that makes the safety's

240
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: job a lot better, right.

241
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 6: You have to you can't get interceptions, so if they

242
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 6: take the quarterback down, you won't have a lot of stats.

243
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: It's probably a good goal I see.

244
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: But the pressures are good.

245
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: No question.

246
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 6: The disruptions, yes, sir, so I always got to take

247
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 6: care of the big guys. The game is is decided

248
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 6: in the trenches. Whether you're dB coach, safety coach, receiver coach.

249
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 6: You love skill guys, but you understand the game is

250
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 6: decided up front.

251
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: So in secret center, who'd you draw this year? I'm

252
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: assuming the coaches have got to have one. Did you

253
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: draw one?

254
00:10:59,160 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 5: I did?

255
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 7: I will leave that player.

256
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: Nay, he'll get his gift next week. His gift next week.

257
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: Gift enough will be a win on Sunday against the Browns. Coach,

258
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: when I know it's on the offensive side of the ball,

259
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: but when the defense sees what Case is doing in

260
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: the second half in particular, and knowing it's not CJ,

261
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: is that given the defense a lift, like, hey man,

262
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: this guy's this guy's balling.

263
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: Out for us.

264
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: It's not CJ numbers, but he's making the plays. He's

265
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: throwing Dotson Noah Brown and the end zone. Is that

266
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: is the defense feeding off of what he's doing out

267
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: on the field with the offense is doing with him

268
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: in charge.

269
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 6: I think just day to day, each player feeds off

270
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 6: each other, not just the quarterbacks. Yeah, and even more

271
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 6: so in the game when the quarterback starts making plays,

272
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 6: I mean, it just lights up the whole stadium. You know,

273
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 6: and so I think like there's a lot of confidence

274
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 6: in everybody in that room, you know, whether it's seven, ten, eighteen, Like,

275
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 6: all those guys are talented and they've shown that they

276
00:11:59,080 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 6: can make plays.

277
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: This left Steven had a goke safety's coach joining us.

278
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: A couple more for you, coach, you play in Mississippi State,

279
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 3: So what would it be like for you today with

280
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 3: the transfer portal and NIL and all that stuff?

281
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: Would that be weird?

282
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 3: Because there are some what twelve hundred players in the

283
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: portal right now, something like twenty percent of all rosters.

284
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: It's some ridiculous amount.

285
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 7: That's tough. I'm glad I don't have to do it.

286
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: What about coaching at college have to deal with that?

287
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 7: That's tough.

288
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: That is tough.

289
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I would think coaching in college is such

290
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: a twenty four to seven three sixty five adventure, Whereas

291
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL when the season ends, you do have

292
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: that off season time. You know, you're watching film again

293
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: for the draft and free agency and things like that.

294
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: But it just feels like twenty four to seven three

295
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 2: sixty five.

296
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: It's recruiting, it's portal, it's nil, it's collectives, it's all that's.

297
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 6: Going on in college, it is, for sure, and not

298
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 6: say that the off season in college you can't really

299
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 6: say there is one necessarily, because depending on the team

300
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 6: and the program, some teams start their winner lifts maybe

301
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 6: three weeks after their bowl game in January, like January first,

302
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 6: and December thirty first, like three weeks later the starting

303
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 6: off season lifts. And well after that you start springball

304
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 6: and your spring practices and you're hosting recruits on those

305
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 6: saturdays at your spring games, and your Saturday scrimmage is

306
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 6: all through up until May, and then you go on

307
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 6: the road recruiting, and then in summer is your biggest

308
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 6: evaluation period for the camps.

309
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: So you don't have an off season. Nah, never stops. No,

310
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: But but.

311
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 6: Football is fun, you know, you're always always blessed to

312
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 6: be in that position to help lead and craft and

313
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,960

315
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 6: football is also especially in Texas.

316
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely, coach, thanks a lot for joining us, good luck.

317
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,360

325
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: ball talking about this one on Sunday against.

326
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 9: Juice Scruggs left guard joins us now taking on the

327
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 9: Cleveland Browns. This, I imagine for you has got to be

328
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 9: an interesting matchup. You born, grew up for most of

329
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 9: your life in Ashtabula, Ohio, which is almost equidistant between

330
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 9: Cleveland and Eerie over in Pennsylvania. How special is this

331
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 9: going to be for you? Playing against kind of the

332
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 9: hometown team.

333
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 10: So it's crazy, to be honest with you, just growing

334
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 10: up watching the Browns and Stealers rivalry and now being

335
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 10: able to go out there and face the Browns.

336
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 5: It's kind of surreal. But I'm definitely ready.

337
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 9: In the run up to this game. Have you heard

338
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 9: a little bit more from family friends back home about it?

339
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 5: Nah?

340
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 10: No, it's been you know, the usual, But definitely comes

341
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 10: Sunday after the game, my phone is probably gonna be

342
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 10: going crazy.

343
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 9: No doubt. We're gonna get into the game matchup in

344
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 9: just a moment. But how's the season progressing for you?

345
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 9: Kind of come in midway through and progressing the way

346
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 9: you'd like.

347
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 10: Definitely some things I need to clean up and all

348
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 10: these things to work on. But yeah, like you said,

349
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 10: coming back mid season, just trying to get back in

350
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 10: the groove of things. And you know, I was just

351
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 10: at center and then I come back and I gotta

352
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 10: go left guard, trying to get in the flowing, in

353
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 10: the rhythm and be on the same page as the guys.

354
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 9: How tricky has that been? I mean in college, you

355
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 9: played out at tackle, you played all over the line.

356
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 9: You've done it before at a different level, But what's

357
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 9: it been like doing at this level two different SEPs.

358
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely different.

359
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 10: It's challenging, for sure, but whatever, I think I could

360
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 10: do whatever if I just put my mind to it

361
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 10: and we're doing it.

362
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 9: Hey, Devin Singletary gets one hundred and twenty one yards

363
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 9: on the ground last week. How much pride do you

364
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 9: guys as an offensive line take in that performance by him?

365
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 5: Oh? No, definitely, definitely shout out to motor.

366
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 10: He's running his tail off all year and you know

367
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 10: that just shows what we've been doing. Credit to us,

368
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 10: but it's definitely him too. I'm not gonna take all

369
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 10: that credit, but it's definitely him to his vision in

370
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 10: a way, he's running the.

371
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 5: Bar right now. It's phenomenal.

372
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 9: Well, the modesty on both sides is pretty high. Because

373
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 9: you guys give him the credit, he gets you guys

374
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 9: all the credit. So it's a nice little where there.

375
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 9: It is nice team. So in general, how do you

376
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 9: guys keep that type of performance going? You're not always

377
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 9: going to get one hundred twenty yards from back, but

378
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 9: how do you stay successful in the run game as

379
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 9: an offensive line?

380
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, just keep attacking.

381
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 10: Just keep focusing on the run game and making sure

382
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 10: that we come out and be physical and be dominant.

383
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 10: And if you physical, dominant and you take care of

384
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 10: the little assignment's little details, you have one hundred and twenty.

385
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 9: Yards defensive end. Miles Garrett understandably gets the lion's share

386
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 9: of the attention. But that's a really, really good defense

387
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 9: at all levels there for Cleveland. Tell me about the

388
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 9: defensive front though mainly the guys on the interior that

389
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 9: you're gonna match up with and have to block. How

390
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 9: impressive are they and what are the challenges there?

391
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 5: Yeah?

392
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 10: No, I would say the whole defense, like you said,

393
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 10: has been looking good, especially the front.

394
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 5: We have a big challenge all pro Miles Garrett.

395
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 10: But Smith on the other side is amazing Thomason and

396
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 10: inside he's looking very stout and so like it's just

397
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 10: guys all over.

398
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 5: Ninety five is the main one.

399
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 10: But you can't sleep on everybody else because they all

400
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 10: play their role.

401
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 5: They do their job well. So we just got to

402
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 5: come out ready and just play our.

403
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 9: Game as an offense. How much you guys look forward

404
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 9: to being at home?

405
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 10: Oh man, it's lovely just coming home playing the NRG.

406
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 10: It's amazing having the fans here. I'm just ready to

407
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 10: go out there give him a show.

408
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 9: I know you're gunning for a win on Sunday. What

409
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 9: do you want Santa to bring you the next day?

410
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 7: Though?

411
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 9: On Christmas morning?

412
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 11: What are you hoping for?

413
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 10: I don't really want too much anything. I just want

414
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 10: some emblems from my truck.

415
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 9: Okay, so it's still the truck upgrade stuff last week? Okay, yep,

416
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 9: I didn't know if anything had changed and you were gonnap.

417
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 5: I just wanted stuff in my truck.

418
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 9: Man, rookie Juice Scrugs. We really do appreciate the time.

419
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 9: Best of luck against the Browns. Best of luck he's

420
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 9: final two and hopefully on into the playoffs.

421
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, appreciate it all right, great stuff there, Steve

422
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: Nagget Okay, Damico, Ryans and Juice Scrugs. That's a great

423
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: way to start off the first segment.

424
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 8: But it's not complete.

425
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: It's not complete. There's more.

426
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: It's like Ron Pupil, there's more. The voice of the

427
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: Texans joins me, Mark van Derveer.

Speaker 2: That's a beast one.

435
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 3: I actually had a little domestic dispute on this, really

436
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: yeah on Christmas Eve games because you got home at

437
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,840

00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,560

439
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: in the morning.

440
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 2: It was at home.

441
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 3: It was twenty sixteen. It was against the Bengals. Randy Bullock,

442
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 3: mister field goal.

443
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 2: We won the division.

444
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 3: I got home around I don't know, eleven thirty. Our

445
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 3: postgame stuff, right, and then I had to put stuff together.

446
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 2: Okay, put together.

447
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: At air hockey table, earmuffed kids, put together a bunch

448
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: of other stuff. I was up till three in the morning.

449
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: You had to helpe san it do it. Basically, you

450
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: had to help him. You have to be his helper.

451
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 3: Santa needs assistant.

452
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he needs assistance at times.

453
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: That you can't figure him out to come down to

454
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: the chimney. By the way, I'm working on references for

455
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: the game. Dashing through the lines.

456
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, very good.

457
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 3: He plugged, he went through that hole.

458
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: His bells.

459
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 3: Oh that well, we don't want to see any of that.

460
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 2: Dude.

461
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: I think he went to the line faster than Santa

462
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 3: comes down the chimney.

463
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 2: That's pretty good or something like that. That's pretty good.

464
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: I gotta have a few others.

465
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: He he got his toes in bounds like Rudolph landing

466
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: on a rooftop.

467
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.

468
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen against the Bengals is one of my favorite

469
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: games of all time. Because of what you just said.

470
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: We remember that day started out. When the day started out,

471
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: it was going to be week seventeen matchup in Nashville

472
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: Titans the Texans because the Jags were kind of sorry

473
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: and they were going to play the Titans.

474
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, earlier in the day. Yeah.

475
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: Then we were playing the afternoon game ish four or five,

476
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: whatever time we started the game. And then of course,

477
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, whatever happens happens. But we figured, okay, look

478
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: the jack said just fired their coach. Doug Maron was

479
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: the interim coach, and they're just you know, the Titans

480
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: are going to do whatever they want. And they put

481
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: it to the Titans. And I remember it was Christmas Eve.

482
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: So my wife and I are She's got the TV

483
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: on in the kitchen, she's watching it there. I'm watching

484
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: the living room. So I'm clean the living room, she's

485
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: clean the kitchen, and she's like, oh did you see this?

486
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: Did you see that? So we're kind of living through, like,

487
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, this game tonight is about to be

488
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: for the AFC South.

489
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

490
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: And so we then play the game and we don't

491
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: play exceptionally well, but we have the one drive of

492
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: four plays. I remember a fuller catch, another throw, a

493
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: hot catch, and then an al for a.

494
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: Blue touchdown run.

495
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: But then it comes down to Randy Bullock pushing it

496
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: over my head outside the sticks. We win the game.

497
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 1: It's unbelieve we've won the division. The locker room's going crazy.

498
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: Nobody thought we could do it in sixteen, you know,

499
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: after a while, because Rock wasn't playing exceptionally well.

500
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: It was just it was a tough season. But we

501
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: get the win.

502
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: That night, we go to nine and six and I

503
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: just remember the same sort of thing Mark. I got

504
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: home and pretty much everything was done. Santa had already

505
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: been there. It's like one o'clock in the morning and

506
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: I am just wired from the game. NFL Network puts

507
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: the game on.

508
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: And you watch the rest of it.

509
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 8: I'll never forget it.

510
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 1: We had the fireplace on, the Christmas tree was on,

511
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: My wife is falling asleep on the couch next to me,

512
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: and I'm just sitting there watching the game to like.

513
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 2: Two thirty in the morning, knowing everything was gonna happen.

514
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: Through everything, it was incredible.

515
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: When watch again, when you win, it is fun to

516
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: look back.

517
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 3: You know what that game and sometimes look confession time.

518
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: This is like Landva and Lopez lunchtime. Confess, I sometimes

519
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 3: get Texans goggles with certain things. I got Christmas Texans

520
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 3: goggles that night because that night, in my mind, that

521
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: was a tremendous win.

522
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: It was twelve to ten, twelve to ten, and them Savage.

523
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 3: I was thinking Tom Savage is our guy. He didn't

524
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: really play that great that night. He played pretty well

525
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 3: against Jacksonville off the bench, kind of rallied the team

526
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: down fourteen to nothing, got the win. That was cool

527
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 3: battle Red Day. But then you had the Bengals game

528
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 3: and it wasn't so great. Alfred Blue played well enough,

529
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: but I wasn't upset because you got the victory. Randy

530
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 3: missed the kick when the division okay go and then

531
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: he gets the concussion against the Titans in a meaningless game,

532
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 3: so to speak. With the quarterbacks in neque situation. We've

533
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: talked about that before. So that team looked, that team

534
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 3: at the number one defense in the NFL, and they

535
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 3: houng with the Patriots in the divisional round after beating

536
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 3: the Oakland Raiders in the wild card round. But the

537
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 3: rest is history. Here you have a Christmas Eve game.

538
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: By the way, the one other game that I'm thinking

539
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 3: of specifically here is the first time you ever beat

540
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: the Colts. That was chrissive those Christmas That was Christmas

541
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 3: Eve when Chris Brown nailed the field goal to beat Indianapolis,

542
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 3: and it was a beautiful thing. But now you've got

543
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve against the Cleveland Browns, and who would have

544
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 3: thunked a year ago. You've talked about this, I've talked

545
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 3: about this four The Browns are four and seven going

546
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 3: into that game. Last year the Texans were one to

547
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: nine and one. And now look at both teams and

548
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: here we go, Johnny, it's a huge matchup.

549
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: It's interesting. There a couple of things that stood out

550
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: to me. Number One, this is the third consecutive year

551
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: we've played the Browns. Both teams for the third consecutive

552
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: year are starting a different starting quarterback.

553
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 3: It's the fourth consecutive year you played them in twenty twenty.

554
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: Up there we did. No, oh, we did. That's right

555
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: in that monsoon.

556
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: Well, the last three consecutive years, it's been six different

557
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks, three on each side. Regardless of whether Case

558
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: or Davis starts or whatever. It's a different quarterback because

559
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: it's not Kyle Allen. Because Kyle Allen was the starting

560
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: quarterback last year. I bet you you could have gone

561
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: forever and you were to knock come up with that.

562
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: As Texas fans who started against the Browns last year.

563
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: Here's the other two nuggets that stood out to me.

564
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: The Browns are minus thirty nine point differential on the road. Yeah,

565
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: that's big, plus fifty nine at home.

566
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

567
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: This is another one that stood out. This isn't the

568
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: research guy that they sent out from the NFL. The

569
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: Browns at home are plus a thousand yard differential. So

570
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: they've had in seven home games, they've had ae thousand

571
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: more yards.

572
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: Than their opponents.

573
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: That's gigantic, one thousand in total over there in seven

574
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: games on the road plus six yards.

575
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically their road games. Their road games are not

576
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: good at all.

577
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable how different they are at home versus on

578
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: the road.

579
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: Here's another one.

580
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: At home in those games, they are plus eleven sack differential.

581
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: They have eleven more sacks than they're opposing visiting teams

582
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: have on the road minus ten. Home teams have ten

583
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: more sacks than the Browns do in the Browns visit

584
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: and they're backed up. Unbelievable. And oh, by the way.

585
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: The game's at home on Sunday. Yeah, it is at home,

586
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: and that's important.

587
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 3: And I'm wondering what kind of Texans team we get

588
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 3: on Sunday here. This is a real big challenge. Every

589
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 3: week's a big challenge for Damiko Ryans and company with

590
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 3: all the injuries they've had, being who they are coming

591
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: out of the situation they were in, and what is

592
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 3: the identity of the team. Look, every time you think

593
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 3: you're about to shape it, a key injury happens here

594
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 3: or there somewhere else. And now you're going without Will

595
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 3: Anderson again, you're going without Stroud. Obviously you haven't had

596
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 3: Tank Dell for a while.

597
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 5: Now.

598
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: It feels like.

599
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: And you're just gonna have to figure out a way

600
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 3: one more time. This is a lot like last week,

601
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 3: but the home version. This is your home version of

602
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 3: last week's games. Yeah, it's not the Titans, and they're

603
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 3: not wearing uniforms that bring up a lot of emotion.

604
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 3: I don't think the Browns do. But if Watson was

605
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: playing for them, I think that would bring up a

606
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 3: different kind of emotion. But it's Joe Flacco and you've

607
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 3: beaten him before, and it's fun that Demiko Ryan's played

608
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 3: against him and had some success against him as an

609
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 3: actual player. Just wild stuff here. Both quarterbacks thirty five

610
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 3: plus the coach the similar age as the opposing quarterback.

611
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of different storylines here, but

612
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: the most important thing is Johnny, you got to find

613
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 3: a way to keep Miles Garrett out of that backfield.

614
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: You did a good job against him last year. Got

615
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 3: to find a way this year to do it. Hopefully.

616
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: The Browns are all upset that they're on the road Christmas.

617
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 3: They know that they can grab a playoff Berth next week,

618
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: take the weekend off Cleveland.

619
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, take it off, or just show up like you've

620
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: been showing up on the road throughout this year. You know,

621
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: the Broncos throttled them the last time they were on

622
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: the road. I think that was the last road game

623
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: they had the Rams throttle them. Now, there are some

624
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: mistakes at the end by the Browns, but you've got

625
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: to be able to take advantage of every Joe Flacco mistake.

626
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: And here's the thing about the Browns you're talking about.

627
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: You know, if Deshan were playing, be different feeling. I

628
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: like the story of Joe Flacco. I mean, I kind

629
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: of the off his couch and doing what he's doing

630
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: now for the Browns. I like Miles Garrett. I'm in,

631
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, working with tex Acts for a long time,

632
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: and so I followed his career and I just think

633
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: he's a really good dude. Minus one moment where he

634
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: swung a helmet where I have a feeling somebody said

635
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: something derogatory about him. Yeah, but Miles Garrett is he's

636
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: a fantastic guy. And I like Miles Garrett. I just

637
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: don't like seeing them walking in here on Sunday. They're

638
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: tough defensively. And here's the other thing I told you

639
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: this is we were watching the work out, everybody's gonna

640
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,239
Speaker 1: be talking about ninety five and how good Miles is.

641
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: Darius Smith very good pass rusher, et cetera. Secondary goes

642
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: into lockdown. There a lot very similar to the to

643
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: the Jets in that way. But if we don't block

644
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: ninety four Dalvin Tomlinson, we can kiss our hopes and

645
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: winning that game goodbye. We have to block that guy.

646
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: He was dominant against the Bears to a point where

647
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: he took three hundred pound men and tossed them, tossed

648
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: them out of the way like it was like there

649
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: were throw pillows just by the way.

650
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make this play ninety four.

651
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: So there's a lot you have to account for against

652
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: this team, and so at some point when you're down

653
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: the names, you just set them CJ will Tank amongst others,

654
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: Blake Cashman.

655
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: You have to take advantage of every mistake.

656
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: If you have your hands on a ball that could

657
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: go for a pick six, you've got to make that play.

658
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 2: You know, if you've got.

659
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: Your hands on a ball on a fumble down at

660
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: the bottom, you can't let somebody take that away from you.

661
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: And you have to play offensively with this smart aggression

662
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: where you've got to be aggressive, but you've got to

663
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: be smart about it, where you're not creating opportunities for

664
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: the Browns going back the other way. And on team

665
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: that's on the road challenged, you can't make it easy

666
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: for them.

667
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 3: No, you can't. And you're right, you can't make these

668
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 3: mistakes like the pick six. Can't do anything of that nature.

669
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: Is it a high teens or low twenties game. I

670
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 3: think it's low twenties, you do, I think it's loads

671
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 3: want to put up three touchdowns? Well, one of them

672
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: is going to have to come on a short fields

673
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 3: turnover if Flacko was gonna give it up. Look the

674
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: three picks last week. I know the Bears played d

675
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: but sort of the Texans, and the Texans can take

676
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: the ball away. I think Stingley, Nelson, maybe Petree those Ward.

677
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 3: Jimmy coming back is big, thank you because he missed

678
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: most of that game last week. Should I have Jimmy

679
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: back at practice was humongous YEP for this squad, so

680
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 3: I want to see him make some plays. I like

681
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: having Tier Tart here. We'll see what they do with him.

682
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 3: Barnett's been a nice addition. You know, with no will,

683
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: you got to get those extra impact guys. But you

684
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 3: think about what they've added here when you look at

685
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: a Barnett, when you look at a Tart, these are

686
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 3: real NFL players who can contribute on a playoff type team.

687
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 3: So here they are in your rotation. Now, make the

688
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 3: most of those guys, but can't screw it up on offense.

689
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 3: And by screwed up, I mean give the ball up.

690
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: How did the Brown score against you last year?

691
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: You remember pick six fumble recovery punt return one points

692
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: You gave up to them special teams.

693
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.

694
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 2: Sure won a game if you just didn't turn the

695
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 2: ball over. Yeah, but you can't do that.

696
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 3: And that was in the stretch of games toward the

697
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 3: end of the year last year at Dallas could have

698
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 3: what should have, Kansas City should have, and Tennessee did,

699
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 3: Indianapolis did.

700
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: I am I am most thankful at this time of

701
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: how is we give thanks and our love for fan

702
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm just glad that I'm glad that four is not

703
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: playing in this one.

704
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: I really am.

705
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: I just that would have added so much complexity to it.

706
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: It's got enough complexity as it is. I don't think

707
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: the record would be what it is.

708
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 3: I think one fewer victim IRUs uh in that column,

709
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: and who knows how it would be affecting them distraction wise.

710
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: We've talked about that. But they are what they are

711
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: and you are what you are this week. Next week

712
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 3: you could be a very different team all over again

713
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: based on players returning. We'll see what happens then. But

714
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 3: the most important thing is to knock off the Browns

715
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: on Sunday.

716
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: That is the NFL and that is what is expected

717
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Knock off the Browns. Anyway possible. How do

718
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: they do it?

719
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: I'll give you my keys to the game next right

720
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 2: here in Texans All Access.

721
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 8: What's happened?

722
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 5: Everybody?

723
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back this Friday edition of Texans All Access on

724
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 1: the Texans Radio Studio.

725
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: I'm your host, John.

726
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: Harris Football and on the side of the reporter, it's

727
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: time for my Keys to the game.

728
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 8: I do these each and every Friday at this time.

729
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: Now, before we get to my keys, it's key to

730
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: know who's in and who's out. I think it's been

731
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: talked about a lot today, I'm sure, but the injury

732
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: report came out. There are three players out on the

733
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: Texans side. Four that are out on the Brown side.

734
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: The three out for the Texans, Oh Boy, Will Anderson, Junior,

735
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: Blake Cashman, CJ.

736
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 5: Strout.

737
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 8: Three of them out, that's a lot.

738
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: There are three that are limited, I'm sorry, questionable, my

739
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: bad also limited at practice today. Elite Collins, Nico Collins,

740
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Denzel Perriman all three questionable. Everybody else in no Brown,

741
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: George Brevin, Jordan, Shack Mason, Shaq Mason, John Metchi, Stephen Nelson,

742
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: Larry Tunzel, Jimmy Ward coming off the concussion. That's great

743
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: to see Jimmy back and.

744
00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 5: Ready to go.

745
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: So will Blake, cj out Malik and Nico. The Collins brothers,

746
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: although not brothers Denzel Perriman. Those three questionable. God, I

747
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: would sting to not have them in this game. Now

748
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: on the Brown side, it's not much better. Jordan Kuonischek

749
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: linebacker calf out Oba o'curonquo from Houston, former Texan out

750
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: with a peck. I think he's gonna be done for

751
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: the year, but they keep putting him. Not an ir yet,

752
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: so we'll see Juan Thornhill starting safety out, Anthony Walker

753
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: junior starting linebacker out now Walker Thornhill o'curonquo missed the

754
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: game last week against the Bears. Brown still able to

755
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: win that game questionable and this is a big one.

756
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: Joel Patonio back in the issues. He's questionable. He played

757
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,239
Speaker 1: a bit of the Brown of the Bears game and

758
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: then came out didn't play from about mid second quarter on.

759
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: So it's definitely wanted to keep in mind he is.

760
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: He's there hard and soul, I mean he's there everything.

761
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: On the offensive line. They're already without Jedrick Wills and

762
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: Jack Conklin at both tackle spots. Then they replaced Conkland

763
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: with Dwan Jones, who's a rookie that had a great

764
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: year going he's out for the year. So now they're

765
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: on their third tackle and Jeron Christian is playing left

766
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: tackle for Jedrick Wills.

767
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 8: So the Browns don't have it easy either.

768
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: And if Potonio's out, that could be that's up to

769
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: three and I don't want to say new starters because

770
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: they're down even two and three starters at a particular spot.

771
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: So Joe Potonio is one to watch everybody else Flacco, Ford, Miles, Garrett,

772
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: Nick Harris, Kareem Hunt, David and Joku Ethan Posik. That's

773
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: a big one. Getting him back is gonna be big

774
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: for them. And Denzel Award, they're all in. They were

775
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: all full participants in practice as well. So, uh, we'll

776
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: see how that situation goes. For Joe Potonio. My guess

777
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: is he's gonna try and play got it out for

778
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: as long as he can. So Texans gotta make life

779
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: rough on that interior, no question. So let's get to

780
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: our keys and talk about this Browns offense. First, it's

781
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: led by Joe Flacco. Last three weeks he has been

782
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: crushing it, and he is the first key.

783
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 5: The old gun.

784
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: Slinger never dies. And what I'm getting at here is

785
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: he's never been a guy that relied on his mobility,

786
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: never been a guy that made a ton with his legs.

787
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: Now he can move around the pocket and he can

788
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: escape some danger.

789
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 8: But the biggest thing about Joe Flacco is his.

790
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: Ability to throw the football with ease to every part

791
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: of the field.

792
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 8: And if the Browns give him time.

793
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: And can do it with just five so everybody gets

794
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: out in the route, he's gonna hurt the Texans and

795
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: hurt them in a big way.

796
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 2: They've got to get to him.

797
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: They've got to make Joe pay with backup tackles. They've

798
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: got to force the Browns to use tight ends and

799
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: running backs to block John Grenard, Derek Barnett and everybody

800
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: else coming off the edge.

801
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 8: They've got to be able to do that all right.

802
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: Number two David and Joku one of the best tight

803
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: ends in the league.

804
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 8: The Browns put out a tweet.

805
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: Earlier today hi highlighting his yak is yardage after catch.

806
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: He has been incredible. The Texas have to take that

807
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: away now. In the last two weeks he has sixteen catches,

808
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: runner ninety five yards and three touchdowns. Flacco likes him,

809
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: He likes throwing to him. He likes Harrison Bryant too.

810
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 1: These two tight ends are magnificent. They gotta make sure

811
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: the coverage is solid. Having Jimmy wore back is key

812
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: for that. I just bet you the offensive line they

813
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: got guys banged up. Ethan Posiks should be in after

814
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: the stinger that cost him the Bears game. Betonio is

815
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: one to watch. But Jared Christian at one spot, at

816
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: one tackle spot could be a spot you could exploit.

817
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: He played for the Texans back in Week four against

818
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers. All right, flipping over, talk about this defense,

819
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: Oh boy, first in the league in passing yards allowed

820
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: one to fifty nine, total offense allowed only to sixty one.

821
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 8: They're eleventh in the league in rushing.

822
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: My god, whereas it start starts from Miles Garrett ninety five.

823
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: They can move him all over the place. He's unbelievable.

824
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: You got to account for him in every single spot.

825
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: But I told Mark today ninety four, Dalvin Tomlinson, that

826
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: guy is just as good as anybody. The text as

827
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: have faced on the inside. If they let him wreck shop,

828
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what Garrett does. They got a block ninety

829
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: four to ninety five for sure. J Oka Jeremiah Owusu Coromoa,

830
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: he's as versatile a linebacker as there is in the league.

831
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: He is so difficult to account for it because he's

832
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: part safety, part linebacker, and he's everywhere.

833
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 8: Number six keeping eye on him. And these dbs are

834
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 8: a lot like the Jets. They're extremely good.

835
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: They will clutch and grab a little bit, not as

836
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: much as the Jets, but they will throw blankets over

837
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 1: these Texans receivers.

838
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 8: If the Texans receivers.

839
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: Are not attacking the football, getting separation, catching the ball

840
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: away from their body, and making plays, those are your

841
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: keys to the game. Coming up next, we're gonna hear

842
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: little Drews dozen with juice scrugs and a little cutlet

843
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: with motor Devin singletary. Next the Texans All Access.

844
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 11: All right, let's go.

845
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: It's Friday edition of Texans All Access, less than forty

846
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: eight hours away from taking.

847
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 8: On to Cleveland. Browns in Cleveland.

848
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: Matters for our next guest, because well, he grew up

849
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: in Ohio.

850
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 8: He grew up a Browns fan. That's juice. Scrugs.

851
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: Let's jump in a little Drew's dozen with the rookie

852
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: left guard with Drew Dorty.

853
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: Let's go droop.

854
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 9: Let's rank the five juices juice, scrugs. The movie Juice,

855
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 9: the movie Beetlejuice, the song jin and juice, and orange juice.

856
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 9: What do they rank?

857
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 5: Of course me number one?

858
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 9: Good.

859
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to go the movie with Tupac juice. Okay,

860
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 5: I've never seen.

861
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 10: Beetlejuice, so that's a little bit, you know, before my time.

862
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 10: So I'm gonna put that last, and then I'm gonna

863
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 10: do orange juice.

864
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 9: And juice after that. So you drank juice instead of

865
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 9: milk as a baby? What was the juice you were

866
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 9: drinking back then? Any type of juice, any type.

867
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 10: Of juice I was probably knowing me it was probably

868
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 10: a Hawaiian punch, oh mainly, but yeah, any juice, orange juice,

869
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 10: apple juice, cranberry juice.

870
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 9: Where you think of you got a fruit punch is

871
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 9: the way to go. You have three brothers, how would

872
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 9: they describe you? And how accurate is that? Actually? So

873
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 9: let's hear what's the description, and then how true is that?

874
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 10: So their description to me is probably a little different

875
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 10: than what I would say, especially growing up. The younger version,

876
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 10: they'll probably say cry baby, annoying all that, because I

877
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 10: just wanted to be like them, always under there, always

878
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 10: under their wing and stuff. But now I think they'll

879
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 10: say decent young man, doing well for yourself, and that

880
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 10: they're proud of me.

881
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 9: I got you. And so you're the youngest. How much

882
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 9: you're older each of them from me?

883
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 10: So my oldest brother is ten years older than me,

884
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 10: and then the other one.

885
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 5: Is six and then five.

886
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 9: Okay, so you're I'm right there.

887
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

888
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 9: You're trying to catch up, man, and that's a lot

889
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 9: of catching up to do it.

890
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they take it easy, but.

891
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 9: You wouldn't have it any other way.

892
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 5: I'll tell you who I am today.

893
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 2: I love it.

894
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 9: That's fantastic. Which animal if it was gonna be totally

895
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 9: tame and you didn't have to worry about it going

896
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 9: bananas and killing like eighty people, which animal would you

897
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 9: choose as your pet?

898
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 10: It's funny you said this because me and my girlfriend

899
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 10: talked and I told her this, and she looked at

900
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 10: me crazy. I said, I'd love to have a tiger

901
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 10: is like the white tigers, most beautiful things ever, But

902
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 10: I just don't want it to go crazy like the Yeah,

903
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 10: but a tiger or a chimpanzee.

904
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, very fun.

905
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

906
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 9: Chimpanzees super strong, super strong, yep, and just obviously very smart.

907
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 10: Yeah, very smart, and they're they're like, there's so much

908
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 10: like us. I think it would be cool just to

909
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 10: have a monkey.

910
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 9: I got you, so you don't have them as pets?

911
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 9: Do you have any pets right now?

912
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 5: I have a cat.

913
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:44,439
Speaker 9: Really, I have a cat.

914
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 5: My girlfriend got a cat when we were in college

915
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 5: and he became my cat. His name is It means

Speaker 9: Frenchie okay, yeah, you've got teammates of both. They've sat

929
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 9: them when you're a little guy.

930
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 10: Probably playing video games or playing basketball outside because we

931
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 10: had like a hoop, had like a raggedy hoop, and

932
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 10: we had it on the street, and so we would

933
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 10: just always be out there playing. If it wasn't football,

934
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 10: was basketball, baseball, kickball?

935
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 5: Like we played anything?

936
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 9: Now, I know you were a for your letterman at

937
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,320

946
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,719

956
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,160

00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 9: You have to get a solid shortstop in a second basement.

964
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,840

Speaker 5: only had to carry the ball.

973
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,479
Speaker 10: Once and it was an interception, so I'm definitely running back.

974
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 10: Just give me the ball, probably going for five hundred

975
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,719

980
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,920

981
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 10: say it was something like ten tackle.

982
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 5: You might take some players off on defense.

983
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 9: Oh I don't like to hear that. You're gonna get

984
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 9: some sacks and mixed in with the tackles.

985
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,440

Speaker 1: guys that he opens holes for is Devin Singletary. You

1059
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: had a fantastic ball game one hundred and seventy twelve

1060
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: yards against the Tennessee Titans. Need to begin against Cleveland Browns.

1061
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna get to one seventy, but boy,

1062
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: it would be nice if he did tough defense to

1063
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: go against. But here's a little cut in the locker

1064

Speaker 9: Devin, tell me about the defensive front of the Browns.

1067
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 9: What's the challenge there? You just raise your eyebrows. Why

1068
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 9: do you raise your eyebrows?

1069
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 12: Man, The way they get off the ball, the way

Speaker 12: got Miles get but he's not the only guy that's

1072
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 12: causing trouble, you know, on that front. So we're definitely

1073
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 12: gonna have our hands for it's gonna be a good game.

1074
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 9: I talked with Juice Scruggs yesterday and he was talking

1075
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 9: about the offensive line and how they were looking like

1076
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 9: they're jelling a little bit more, and he said, oh, no, no, no,

1077
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 9: it's Devin Singletary. And I said, well, when Devin talks

1078
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 9: about you guys, or talks about his game, he's given

1083
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 12: that done, the receivers won't get that done. So it

1084
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,839

00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 9: versions of them this year because of injury and everything.

1089
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,319

Speaker 12: You know, the way they communicate, the trust that they

1092
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 12: have is being displayed, definitely.

1093
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 9: And then how about you, are you seeing things differently

1094
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 9: on your end? Are things getting a little clearer in

1095
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 9: this offense as the season goes on?

1096
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 12: Yeah, definitely, just the intent on certain place knowing the

1097
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 12: intent that helps out a lot than just having those reps.

1098
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 5: It can go along with.

1099
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 9: I know you guys want a victory. I know you

1100
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 9: guys want the playoffs. But regardless of that, what do

1101
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 9: you hope in Santa brings you Monday morning?

1102
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 12: On Monday morning, man being my right mind and good

1115
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: I am John Harris Football and on Sideline reporter and

1116
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: your host for this evening. It's time to dive in

1117
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: with Charles Davis. He'll be calling the game with Iron

1118
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:07,359
Speaker 1: Eagle on Saturday Sunday. Excuse me, twelve nude kickoff at

1119
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: Energy Stadium. He was nice enough to spend more than

1120
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: a few minutes with Drew Doherty. Here's Charles Davis and

1121
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty.

1122
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 9: This is a real treat. Charles Davis has the color

1123
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 9: commentary job this weekend CBS. He and I and Eagle

1124
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 9: calling the game Texans at Browns. Charles, this is a

1125
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 9: massive showdown. I don't know that everyone externally back in

1126
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 9: August September would have had this one pegged. Is such

1127
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 9: a big game, but playoff implications. That's a delicious sound

1128
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 9: for Texans fans. How excited are you to call a

1129
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 9: game like this with you know, they're kind of a

1130
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 9: couple of upstarts if you think about what this the

1131
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 9: predictions were for this season.

1132
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 11: Coming in very excited to truthfully, Drew and happy holiday

1133
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 11: season to you and yours and everyone who can hear us.

1134
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 11: Let me just let me just say, you've been around

1135
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 11: the team, you work, you do all this stuff. If

1136
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 11: I had rolled up to you in training camp in

1137
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 11: August and I said, hey, man, I just got a

1138
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 11: sneaking suspicion we're going to be back in December and

1139
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 11: when Cleveland comes to town, that game is going to

1140
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 11: be massive for both teams trying to make playoffs. I

1141
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 11: don't know that I would have loved to see your reaction,

1142
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 11: like not that you're a non believer, Right, that's a

1143
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,919
Speaker 11: big leap of faith at that point for both truth.

1144
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I knew, I knew the Texans.

1145
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, the idea that we'd be sitting here and those two. Now,

1146
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 11: my first year of CBS was twenty twenty, the COVID year,

1147
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 11: and the first ever did for CBS with Ian and

1148
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 11: Evan was Cleveland at Baltimore and it's Kevin Stefanski's first

1149
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 11: game as an NFL head coach regular season and they

1150
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 11: got it handed to him, got beat like thirty eight

1151
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 11: to six, just got pounded. Jamie Gillan was a punter

1152
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 11: and he fake punted it and the Scottish hammer got hammered.

1153
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 11: I mean it was just just one of those days, right.

1154
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 11: But by the end of the year, who was in

1155
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 11: the playoffs and winning a playoff game and was So

1156
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 11: you learn these things as you go through and we've

1157
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 11: been fortunate enough this year as you know, we were

1158
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 11: here for the Tampa game. Don't do analytics very well

1159
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 11: because my mask skills are just horrific. But I think

1160
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 11: they said at the time Houston got the ball at

1161
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 11: one point in that game, it's like a ten percent

1162
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 11: chance of half of winning that game. And they did

1163
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 11: it and got it done, and a rookie quarterback and

1164
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 11: a rookie receiver making plays, and you know, a team

1165
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 11: believing and you see right then and there and then

1166
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 11: we were back for Denver right after the disappointment of

1167
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 11: the Jacksonville game when a fifty eight yarder hit the crossbar.

1168
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 11: I just love what both of these coaches bring to

1169
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 11: their teams. And you can see their teams playing to

1170
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 11: those coaches' personalities and levels, and you know, you all

1171
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 11: want to give it too much. But at the same time,

1172
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 11: I don't think Stefanski gets enough credit. Yea, And Niko

1173
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 11: is going to get a ton of credit early because

1174
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 11: new coach, get that and he deserves it absolutely.

1175
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 9: And you just kind of touched on something. But what's

1176
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,439
Speaker 9: it say about this team that the Texans have built

1177
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 9: around case Keenum now because they've been built around cron

1178
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 9: What's about the team and what they were able to

1179
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 9: pull off last Sunday? And what's that say about case

1180
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 9: Keenum himself?

1181
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'll start with the team. What it tells me

1182
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 11: about the team is that they've been building quietly in

1183
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 11: a good way for a while. I realized that David

1184
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 11: Cully was fired in one year, right, I do realize

1185
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 11: that Lovey Smith was fired in one year. But both

1186
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 11: of them did some good things with this team, and

1187
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 11: the people who are still here from those times, I

1188
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 11: don't think you'd find them saying bad things about them.

1189
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 11: I remember David Cully winning a game late in his

1190
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 11: first year that he shouldn't have won, and I think

1191
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 11: it was the one that essentially cost the Chargers a

1192
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 11: playoff spot. You remember that one Chargers had to go

1193
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 11: play the Raiders kind of a loser leave town game

1194
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 11: for the last game of the year, and they lost it,

1195
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 11: and the Raiders went to the Puffs and they didn't.

1196
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 11: But if they had won that game, I think they

1197
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 11: were already locked in. But the team played hard for

1198
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 11: him down the stretch. Lovey last year, instead of getting

1199
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 11: the number one pick, goes for two, gets it. The

1200
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 11: team responds. Everybody thought it was a bad thing at

1201
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 11: the time. Turned out you got the quarterback that you

1202
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 11: needed and he was thick. And I think Dimico continues

1203
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 11: that and then some obviously, you know, I also have

1204
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 11: to give Nick Cassario a little bit of love here.

1205
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 11: I've liked their drafts over the last three seasons. I

1206
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 11: think that we go back and look, they're a big

1207
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 11: part of this team and what's going on, and then

1208
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 11: he sprinkle in some other guys and off you go. So, yeah,

1209
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 11: there's all that now for Case Keenum, this is one

1210
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 11: of the great examples of what a true pro looks like.

1211
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 11: A pro who gets it, a pro who's been there,

1212
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 11: who's beat all the odds to begin with, but never

1213
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 11: ever quit believing in himself, and then when called upon, yep,

1214
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 11: I'm ready to go again. Because you got to have

1215
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 11: those guys like at the quarterback position, because all the

1216
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 11: money goes to your starter. As a general rule, the

1217
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 11: backup guy's got to be able to play on shore,

1218
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 11: notice limited reps, and be confident and able to go

1219
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:06,720
Speaker 11: out and do it, kind of like a long reliever

1220
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 11: who pitches a lot of innings. Got to just be

1221
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 11: able to job up out there and not worry about it.

1222
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 11: And that's exactly who Case Keenum is. I mean, he

1223
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 11: drew he threw that pick six last week? Was it

1224
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 11: demean or any different the next series. Nope, No, did

1225
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 11: it stop firing, nope. I mean kept doing all the

1226
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 11: right things, team believed and so on and so forth.

1227
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 11: I'm a big case Keenum fan, and he's just one

1228
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 11: of those guys that every time he produced because it

1229
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 11: wasn't a super Bowl, when everybody kept saying, I think

1230
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 11: I can get somebody a little bit better, and that

1231
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 11: was always the case.

1232
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,439
Speaker 9: And he's this is his third go round with the team.

1233
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 9: I remember he comes in, spends his entire rookie season

1234
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 9: on the practice squad, most of the next not most,

1235
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,399
Speaker 9: but a chunk of it, next year on the practice squad,

1236
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 9: and then first time he's ever active, he starts. Charles

1237
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 9: Davis of CBS Sports with us right now, tell me

1238
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 9: about what you've learned. You've been in some production meetings

1239
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 9: covering those games that you mentioned this year. What's the

1240
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 9: one thing in those production meetings, usually the day before

1241
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 9: the game that stood out to the most that you're, like, God,

1242
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 9: I didn't realize that in talking with Texans, whether there's

1243
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:13,280
Speaker 9: a coach, whether there's.

1244
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 11: A player, believe in their quarterbacks so early. That one

1245
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 11: has really struck me, because guys went out of their

1246
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 11: way to tell us stories and sometimes drew. You ever

1247
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 11: been in one of those places where someone praises another

1248
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 11: person so much that by the end you're like, I

1249
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 11: don't know that that's real. Yeah, Like it's so over

1250
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 11: the top, and then you find out they actually hate

1251
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 11: each other and you go, oh, that makes sense. He's

1252
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 11: trying too hard to tell me. One way with the

1253
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 11: Texans is not the case at all. It's so easy

1254
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 11: how they would drop in, how CJ. Stroud just captivated

1255
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 11: the team so quickly. But it wasn't a jump up

1256
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 11: on the table, look at me captured them. It was

1257
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 11: just him being him and ingratiating himself, you know, inserting

1258
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 11: himself into the team. Now I'm over here, you guys,

1259
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 11: come to me inserting himself into the team. I had

1260
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 11: a veteran there was Jonathan Grenard who told me, oh, yeah,

1261
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 11: he could have been captain after probably the second day

1262
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:22,760
Speaker 11: of OTAs and he just said it so matter of factly.

1263
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 11: That's what That's why I'm buying, you know, because it's

1264
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 11: just so easy for them, and they couldn't wait to

1265
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 11: grasp him and wanted him to lead. And then he

1266
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 11: went out and he's done it. So many times, so

1267
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 11: I don't know that we're going to get him on Sunday. Well,

1268
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 11: I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he's out of the

1269
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 11: protocol and able to play. But above all, I want

1270
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 11: him healthy. So if it's not this week, get healthy,

1271
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 11: young man, but just watching that as a rookie and

1272
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 11: being able to take over and go. But I also

1273
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 11: think on the flip side, you're seeing those veterans allowing

1274
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 11: the youngsters to step forward, the Jerry Hugheses of the

1275
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 11: world that are pushing you. Will Anderson. We're gonna put

1276
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 11: a C on your jersey. I'm gonna be here for you,

1277
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 11: but it needs you and your voice. Hey, Jaln Petrie,

1278
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 11: you know you're back to Jimmy Ward's gotta see. But

1279
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 11: he's gonna bring that youngster with him. Come here. We're

1280
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 11: gonna put a set on you too, and I'm gonna

1281
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 11: show you how this is done, play and deeds and

1282
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 11: it all comes crashing together. I'm a big believer in

1283
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,760
Speaker 11: what we're seeing here in Houston. But I told you before, Drew,

1284
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 11: I liked what they were doing draft wise ahead of that,

1285
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 11: and I don't think they were getting the credit because

1286
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 11: the wins weren't there. Now we're starting to see it

1287
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 11: come to fruition with some of those past drafts melding

1288
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 11: with this one and the free agency that they've done.

1289
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,919
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's cool you bring that up, because look

1290
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 9: at this offense. You know, who are the weapons on offense? Well,

1291
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 9: guy who's drafted a few years back, Nico Collins, a

1292
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:49,919
Speaker 9: guy who's drafted this year, but he's on the shelf

1293
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 9: now for the rest of it. In Tank Dell Dalton Schultz,

1294
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 9: one of those second week of free agency signings. It's

1295
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 9: a pretty lethal offense when it's fully healthy. It's a

1296
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 9: good offense as it stands right now. Charles, what's the

1297
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 9: most dangerous aspect of it when you look at it?

1298
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 9: As a former safety he played safety at Tennessee. What

1299
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 9: do you see when you look at that offense if

1300
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 9: you're looking at it from the safety vantage points? What's

1301
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 9: the biggest threat there?

1302
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 11: Yeah? When they're all there, they hit you at every level.

1303
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 11: Because you know, we know Tank can can come out

1304
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 11: of the slot and get deep on you, right, Nico

1305
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 11: can run as well. But where he really scares me

1306
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 11: is when he catches a ten yard slant on the

1307
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 11: move and that big body is now going and you

1308
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 11: got to go get him on the ground.

1309
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 9: That's not he's violent. He is violent after the catch man.

1310
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 8: Yes he is.

1311
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 11: I mean when he is motoring, right, Drew. There's times

1312
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 11: I'm sure that you've seen you, You've seen people along

1313
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 11: the way make that so called business decision. But you

1314
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 11: know we're gonna go thud here in practice today, right,

1315
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 11: So maybe we will go too, hand tag whatever it's gonna take.

1316
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 11: Because he but that's what I mean when he catches

1317
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 11: on the move and he's doing who look out. And

1318
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 11: then with Dalton Schultz, his ability to run every variety

1319
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 11: of routes and he's gonna finish with the ball in

1320
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 11: his hands. Has great hands. That's what I think about them,

1321
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 11: that they can hit you with all of those. And

1322
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 11: you got a quarterback who loves to throw the ball

1323
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 11: down field. He loves to push those deep digs and

1324
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 11: end routes and you know, anything that you can hit

1325
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 11: where guys are on the move but going away, and

1326
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 11: he'll hit you between ten and twenty that intermediate zone

1327
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 11: and turn them into big chunks of yardage. The one

1328
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 11: thing is Devin Singletary's ability to run the football again

1329
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 11: has shown last week is something that they've really really

1330
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 11: needed because when they had it going member mid season

1331
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 11: and he was going back to back one hundreds and

1332
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 11: they're winning at Cincinnati. I know it's a throwing league.

1333
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 11: We all know it's a throwing league. But you still

1334
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 11: gotta be able to run the ball with efficiency and

1335
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 11: proficiency if you want to have to have a big

1336
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 11: impact in the playoffs.

1337
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 9: Charles Davis of CBS Sports, when you look at this matchup,

1338
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 9: Texans are a game behind the Browns and the standings,

1339
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 9: yet they're fourth in the NFL and turnover differential Houston

1340
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 9: is and Cleveland is down at the bottom round twenty

1341
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 9: seven to twenty eight. They've turned the ball over a

1342
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 9: lot more than they've taken it away. I'd explain it

1343
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 9: the disparity there with the wins and losses that they've got.

1344
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 9: I mean, this is an interesting dichotomy, you know.

1345
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 11: Crazy. He tells you about their defense, tells you the

1346
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 11: defense can snuff out a lot of things or or

1347
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 11: limit the damage. Okay, because they've turned to do I

1348
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 11: think they've got thirty giveaways and it's one hundred and

1349
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 11: ten points giving up off of the thirty giveaways, but

1350
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 11: a good chunk of that I think are field goals,

1351
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 11: and they may work for it because they you know,

1352
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 11: they make it. They make it a grind for you

1353
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 11: if you're trying to move the ball on offense. So

1354
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 11: that has helped them in a big way, but it's

1355
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 11: not the formula anyone would have for extended success in

1356
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 11: getting it done all the way through. In fact, that

1357
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 11: the idea that they won nine games with that kind

1358
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 11: of turnover ratio flies in the face of everything a

1359
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 11: coach preaches in preseason. So that tells you sometimes you

1360
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 11: have those little outliers. I mean, let's be honest, true

1361
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 11: that four different quarterbacks.

1362
00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 9: I was gonna say, yeah right.

1363
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 11: I mean the defense at home. We had them two

1364
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 11: weeks ago against Jacksonville and I don't know if the

1365
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 11: exact numbers yet. I'll have them by game time. I'll

1366
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 11: do a little more study it. But going into Jacksonville game,

1367
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 11: they were giving up ten point two points per game

1368
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,919
Speaker 11: at home, right, They'll give up thirty points per game

1369
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 11: on the road.

1370
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 2: Yep.

1371
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 11: And we asked them point blank. I asked the decordinator,

1372
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 11: we asked players, whatever. Everyone gave me. The Offredy Newman.

1373
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 11: For those of a certain age, he was a guy

1374
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 11: on the cover of what was the Mad magazine magazine. Yeah,

1375
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 11: and give you that little shrug like the boss do

1376
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 11: after their sacks. That that shrug. Look, yep, that's what

1377
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 11: everyone goes. I don't know, and we can't tell you,

1378
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 11: like I have nothing where I could come to you,

1379
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 11: Drew and go, yeah, I can you know. I've analyzed

1380
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 11: it and I see this. No, I got nothing. I

1381
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 11: can't I can't tell you. All I know is if

1382
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 11: you play Cleveland and Cleveland that's a really hard slot

1383
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 11: on the road. It's been different, but that doesn't mean

1384
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 11: you take them lightly. I think their corner is exceptional.

1385
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 11: Mj Emerson to get the claim he deserves. Denzel Ward

1386
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 11: is back, Newsom can play the slot. That's why I

1387
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 11: have a sneaking suspicion that in this game, if case

1388
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 11: Keenum's the quarterback, Dalton Schultz is going to be his

1389
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 11: best friend, because I think Cleveland plays a lot of man.

1390
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 11: They'll try to lock down on the outside. I'm not

1391
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 11: saying outside will get nothing, but they make it difficult,

1392
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 11: and Dalton Schultz becomes much more of a focal point

1393
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 11: in this game.

1394
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, and those two got going Keenum and Schultz in

1395
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 9: the second half. It was kind of quiet there in

1396
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 9: the first first bit of work in Nashville. Okay, Joe

1397
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 9: Flacco is somebody that the Texans are very familiar with.

1398
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 9: They played them a lot of times when he was

1399
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 9: with the Ravens. What's the Joe Flacco you're seeing right

1400
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 9: now versus the one that I think most people are

1401
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 9: familiar with from the end of the last decade, in

1402
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 9: the early part of the teams.

1403
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's the same Joe Flacco in so many ways.

1404
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 11: And throwing the football. I say it all the time.

1405
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 11: Those guys with big arms that we knew young, they

1406
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 11: have big arms when they're old. Okay, they're the ones

1407
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 11: that the grandkids can't play catch with because Grandpa throws

1408
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 11: it too hard. All right, they can't help themselves. If

1409
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 11: you have a big arm young, you have a big

1410
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 11: arm old. In fact, right before they close the litter

1411
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 11: your coffin, and you're gonna throw one more fifty yard er.

1412
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 11: That's how That's how they operate. And Flacco's arm hasn't changed.

1413
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 11: That arm is still Listen in all those years, is

1414
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 11: Joe Flacco elite? Remember that his arm has always been

1415
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 11: a league. You can argue about it. Here's the difference

1416
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 11: for me. He is playing the happiest he has played,

1417
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 11: and I don't know how long. I'm not saying he

1418
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 11: was ever unhappy playing, sure, but the expectations are different expectations,

1419
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 11: and he didn't think he's gonna get this shot. He

1420
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 11: had just resigned himself like it's over, the league's done

1421
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 11: with me when he got the call from Cleveland. In fact,

1422
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 11: we asked him like if it wasn't Cleveland, where were

1423
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 11: you going? He said, I still be on my couch

1424
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 11: because they're the one. So he's out there having a blast.

1425
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 11: And these youngsters that he's playing with, even the ones

1426
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 11: who are veterans, are young to him. They're having a ball,

1427
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 11: going to the bit, going to you know, the their

1428
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 11: elder and soaking up the knowledge. David and Joku the

1429
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 11: tight end. Could he be any happier right now? It's

1430
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 11: been targeted twenty eight times and three stars from Flaco.

1431
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 11: Kay Amari Cooper got over one hundred yards last week.

1432
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 11: His ability to throw the ball downfield, He and CJ. Stroud.

1433
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 11: If Stroud were able to play, we might be matching

1434
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 11: a game of who's gonna throw it downfield with a

1435
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 11: dagger throw more. That's what we're looking for, and that's

1436
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 11: what I see out of Flacco not saying he won't

1437
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,439
Speaker 11: check it down. He also has enough confidence he hadn't

1438
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 11: mind blowing it throwing it down there and letting you

1439
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 11: make a play.

1440
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 9: Charles Davis of CBS Sports with us right now. Charles,

1441
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 9: one of the things that is really exciting about this

1442
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 9: interview is I've got two boys, a ten year old

1443
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 9: and eight year old. They play Madden all the dang time.

1444
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 11: So I feel you know the game at all, Like

1445
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 11: do you know the game console and everything else?

1446
01:03:58,040 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 5: A little bit?

1447
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 9: But I was gonna say, you're the voice is in

1448
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 9: our house.

1449
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 11: Like I hear a lot of complaints about that.

1450
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 9: It's not a complaint.

1451
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 11: I tell all parents there's a mute button on the game.

1452
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 11: Might have to just exercise. It's one of you know,

1453
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 11: all kidding aside, Drew, That's one of the coolest things

1454
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 11: about my job and one of the coolest things I've done.

1455
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 11: I've told this story a million times. Tell one more time.

1456
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 11: My son was sixteen. I think with the time I

1457
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 11: got the gig and you don't it's like, right, you

1458
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 11: got the two boys playing do they have the headsets

1459
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 11: and they can play with their friends even if they're

1460
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 11: not in the house.

1461
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 9: They only do that for like Fortnite, that's a new thing.

1462
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 9: They play against each other and the eight year old

1463
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 9: usually winds up fighting with the ten year old.

1464
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 11: So yeah, good, you've got you've got normal good boys.

1465
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 11: Then right, you scrap with each other. But at some point, right,

1466
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 11: they're gonna have the like with forty. You know, you

1467
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 11: have your friends who are playing somewhere else and you

1468
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 11: go play them. He's in Idaho, you're in California, he's

1469
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 11: in Texas year and you can do all those right. Yeah, well,

1470
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 11: my son had all his friends. They were doing that

1471
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 11: right pliant. And when I got the gig, it's the

1472
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 11: most street cred I've ever gotten in my life. I mean,

1473
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 11: I was lucky. You know, I've done national championship games

1474
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 11: on the college side, I've done some decent games in

1475
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 11: the NFL side. I've done a couple of things as

1476
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 11: a broadcaster. The day I got the job, that after

1477
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 11: and after he told all of his boys, the house

1478
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,919
Speaker 11: was packed with his fellas, and for the next two

1479
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 11: weeks they acted like I was halfway cool before that,

1480
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 11: I was gone on the bottom of their shoes on

1481
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 11: a hot day. So that Madden franchise is a big deal.

1482
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 11: And to be a part of that, that small, tiny

1483
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 11: part of what Coach Madden created. And then you know

1484
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:40,439
Speaker 11: he did it like the first nine or ten years

1485
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 11: with Past Summer all and the names of Jim Nance,

1486
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 11: Phil Simms, Gush Johnson, brad Nessler, you know, all these

1487
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 11: people who have done this game and done it so well.

1488
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 11: For myself and my partner, Brandon Gordon, we're a little

1489
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 11: bit in awe of the fact that we get a

1490
01:05:56,360 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 11: chance to do this now our day I think is

1491
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 11: starting to come to an end. Yeah, and I give

1492
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 11: the game credit because it's constantly evolving. When we took

1493
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 11: over Drew, that's when they added in. We would come

1494
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 11: in on Mondays and Tuesdays and do the games that

1495
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 11: had been played that weekend. And then as a gamer,

1496
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 11: you could download fresh commentary every week on Wednesday and Thursday.

1497
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 5: Wow.

1498
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 11: So before remember, you'd get the game and you get

1499
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 11: whatever number of hours was on the game, and the

1500
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 11: game was the game was the game, so you have

1501
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 11: it August to the next August it wasn't changing. Well,

1502
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 11: they figured out it. Madden. Hey, if we've put this

1503
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 11: fresh commentary in, spice it up, freshened up every week,

1504
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 11: that makes it better. So we would come in and

1505
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 11: do all the games Monday and Tuesday that we had

1506
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 11: that had been done the week before, and we did

1507
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 11: definitely five years. Wow, you do his game, I'd do

1508
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 11: my game. We'd meet in the studio on Monday and

1509
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 11: Tuesday and go three four hours a time do it,

1510
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 11: and the gamers benefited in terms of having fresh commentary. Now,

1511
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 11: whether they like the commentary, you have to ask them.

1512
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 11: I'm sure there's time to like. Good Lord, if he

1513
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 11: says that same thing one more time, I'll punch him

1514
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 11: in his face. But that's what ends up happening. I

1515
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 11: remember my son telling me right at the beginning, hey man,

1516
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 11: make sure you give him a lot of different things

1517
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 11: on stuff, because I don't want to know what you're

1518
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 11: gonna say before you say it. Okay, so you do

1519
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 11: the best you can on it, right, But for us

1520
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 11: eight years to be a part of this, and I

1521
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 11: think what's going to happen is they're going to add

1522
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 11: extra commentary teams. So you, as a player will get

1523
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 11: a choice kind of like on a Sunday.

1524
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, which game am.

1525
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 11: I going to watch? And each one has different announcers.

1526
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 9: Son of a gun.

1527
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 11: Oh, I think you're gonna have three or four teams

1528
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 11: of announcers that you'll get to choose to put on

1529
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 11: your game, right, mad people a ton of credit for

1530
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 11: that one, even if that means Brandon and myself that

1531
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 11: are our days are numbered?

1532
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 2: Right?

1533
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 9: I've got about fifty eight more questions for you just

1534
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 9: about Madden, but I know you got to go, But

1535
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 9: I've got one more I want to want to finish with.

1536
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 9: He played safety Tennessee early eighties. I believe you overlapped

1537
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 9: with Reggie White while you were there.

1538
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 11: I was fortunate enough to do that, That is correct.

1539
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 9: Yes, best Reggie White story because he's somebody that we

1540
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 9: talk about a lot around here, just in everything that's

1541
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 9: that's going on. He's somebody that made an impact on

1542
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 9: JJ Watt, you know, and some of the current players

1543
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 9: talk about what was it like playing alongside that guy.

1544
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 11: I was a freshman when Reggie was a junior at

1545
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,839
Speaker 11: Tennessee and acclaim coming out of the state of Tennessee

1546
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 11: when of the highest recruits we had. His coach, John Majors,

1547
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 11: was trying to rebuild the Tennessee program. Remember, he had

1548
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 11: come from pitt where he'd won a national title, and

1549
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 11: he was trying to get Tennessee back to its former

1550
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 11: glory and so getting Reggie keeping him a home was

1551
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 11: a huge, huge deal. But Reggie didn't truly reach the

1552
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 11: Reggie White potential his first couple of years, and then

1553
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 11: as a junior was playing well, hurt an ankle, and

1554
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 11: then just wasn't quite the same. But his senior year,

1555
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 11: we changed the defensive coordinators, we changed other people on

1556
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:05,560
Speaker 11: the staff. I was a red shirt freshman. My secondary

1557
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,759
Speaker 11: running made it was a sophomore who had started inside

1558
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 11: live backer to one hundred and ninety pounds a year before.

1559
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 11: Our two corners, one was a sophomore who had started

1560
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 11: as a freshman because we had injuries, and the other

1561
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:20,879
Speaker 11: was a red shirt freshman. All freshmen sophomores in the secondary,

1562
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 11: so he got all these babies. We'd finished in the

1563
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,839
Speaker 11: nineties in past defense the year before, in the nineties

1564
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 11: in total defense the year before. But Reggie was ready

1565
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 11: for his senior year and Drew. We went from in

1566
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 11: the nineties to top ten in the country in total defense,

1567
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:43,839
Speaker 11: top ten in the country in pass defense because ninety

1568
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 11: two was there. And I will tell you as a player,

1569
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,600
Speaker 11: we were playing Vanderbilt to finish the season and there

1570
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 11: was an offensive tackle for Vanderbilt, nam Will Wolferd, who

1571
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 11: played up good Buffalo Bills. Teams went to the Super

1572
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 11: Bowl and Reggie spent the entire day taking Will Wolford

1573
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 11: to do him whatever he felt like doing with Will Wolford.

1574
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 11: And I'm not saying that to get on Will Wolford.

1575
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 11: He is a tremendous player, and I'm not saying it

1576
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 11: as a ya yacht Will Wolford because I have too

1577
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 11: much respect for him. But Regg was ready to go.

1578
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 11: And at one point I think he started inside the

1579
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 11: guard had him. He threw the guard aside. Will came

1580
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 11: over to try. He took Will and flipped him out

1581
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,680
Speaker 11: of the way, and then the full back stepped up

1582
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 11: or the running back stepped up to pick him up

1583
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 11: in protection, and Reggie picked up the running back, threw

1584
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,639
Speaker 11: him into the quarterback Kurt Page, and knocked Kurt Page

1585
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 11: over with the football for a sap. It's on tape. Wow,

1586
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 11: that was on the field off the field. As you know,

1587
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 11: he was known as the Minister of Defense. Reggie was

1588
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:52,599
Speaker 11: an ordinary minister while in college and deep deep faith,

1589
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 11: unshakable faith, but was one of the big hearted guys

1590
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 11: you would ever meet. In fact, he was a kid like.

1591
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 11: He was the one I'm pretty sure his wife Sarah

1592
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,640
Speaker 11: would always talk about, I have three children. I have

1593
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 11: the boy, the girl, and I have Reggie. Reggie was

1594
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 11: always the one, like if we remember you go to

1595
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 11: a movie on Friday night in college, like the team

1596
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 11: goes to a movie where they go to the hotel.

1597
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 11: We always prayed that the movie was a good movie

1598
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 11: because Reggie would imitate who the star was. He's always

1599
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 11: doing impressions, and if it was a lousy movie, we'd

1600
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:24,600
Speaker 11: have to hear those impressions for a week of a

1601
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 11: bad movie. So I think we saw Rodney Dangerfield one

1602
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 11: time and we got Rodney Dangerfield from then on. I'll

1603
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 11: tell you I get no respect. It was Reggie just

1604
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 11: being Reggie. But we miss him terribly. But what he

1605
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,719
Speaker 11: gave the game when he gave people like JJ Watt,

1606
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 11: who is a continuation of Reggie. You know, those great

1607
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 11: ones start a line and we see them adopted. I

1608
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 11: will guarantee you Reggie would love JJ. Watt would love

1609
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 11: him because the way he played the game and the

1610
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,879
Speaker 11: joy that he played with and how he treated people

1611
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 11: than what he does. That was important to Reggie too.

1612
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 11: Like Reggie was just Reggie beating the heck out of people,

1613
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 11: but he's picking them up after he dumped them on

1614
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 11: their butt when the play was over, you know. And

1615
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 11: JJ had a lot of that in him as well.

1616
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 11: He respected the people he played with, even though he

1617
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 11: fiercely wanted to beat him.

1618
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,760
Speaker 9: The great Charles Davis, I've got so much more I

1619
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 9: could ask you. I hope we get to do this again,

1620
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 9: and do it again.

1621
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 11: Sometimes, Drew get it and you run out of people

1622
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 11: when you get down to number one, one forty eight.

1623
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 11: I'm one one and forty nine.

1624
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 9: You give me a call and you're way higher up.

1625
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 9: I got Willy Gualk questions too. Man, I'm from the eighties.

1626
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 9: I have to say that another time.

1627
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 11: True, True, I'll let you go on this one. I

1628
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,839
Speaker 11: reported to Tennessee in nineteen eighty two as a freshman

1629
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 11: right supposed to be a quarterback. They realized quickly I

1630
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 11: should be a defensive back, so now I become a

1631
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 11: defensive back. I'm red shirting that year. I'm going up

1632
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 11: against our wide receivers. In nineteen eighty one or eighty

1633
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 11: two or somewhere in that neighborhood, we had four wide

1634
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 11: receivers on the Tennessee football team that formed the four

1635
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 11: by one hundred NCAA champions That's amazing. So how do

1636
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 11: you think this kid from Newpaul's, New York didn't practice

1637
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:11,680
Speaker 11: each day?

1638
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 5: Not?

1639
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:13,440
Speaker 11: Well?

1640
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 9: Boy made must have made the games easy.

1641
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 11: Hunh Well, it made the games easy for them because

1642
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 11: they were so just toasting me up, you know. But

1643
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 11: I mean it was Willie, it was Mike Miller, it

1644
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 11: was it was Daryl Wilson, I mean Lenny Taylor. I

1645
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 11: mean it just went on and on. The first three

1646
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 11: were all draft picks. William was the first rounder, Mike

1647
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 11: Miller was a third rounder, and Daryl Wilson was a

1648
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:43,680
Speaker 11: second rounder. They could all run. I mean, we were

1649
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 11: a wide receiver you then, like we can we can.

1650
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 11: Anthony Hancock had come through there, Stanley Stanley Morgan. We

1651
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 11: always had guys who could get up and go. Yeah,

1652
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 11: Anthony Miller came along, Tim McGee, Clyde Duncan. I could

1653
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 11: go on for days and I couldn't run with it

1654
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 11: any of them.

1655
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean Willie Gault flirted with running in the Olympics.

1656
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,679
Speaker 9: I did, right, if.

1657
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 11: We'd have the boycott in eighty Yeah, he would have

1658
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 11: been on the Olympic team in eighty will and just

1659
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 11: and you know, I think he's still running masters track

1660
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 11: meets and setting records each time. You know, he's that

1661
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 11: guy like he shows up in a master's meet and

1662
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 11: I'm sure you better bring his birth tip kick because

1663
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,839
Speaker 11: they don't believe as old as he is, because he

1664
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 11: still looks phenomenal and can still get out and go

1665
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 11: and do his thing. He was exceptional. In fact, he

1666
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 11: ran back two kickoffs at LSU for touchdowns. But LSU

1667
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:38,639
Speaker 11: was in the top ten in the country and we

1668
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 11: were not, and we ended up tying LSU. Back then

1669
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:44,759
Speaker 11: we still had ties. Yeah, yeah, we didn't play overtime,

1670
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 11: but we tied LSU. I think they were like number

1671
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 11: eight in the country, but we did it because Willie

1672
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 11: ran back two kickoffs in the game and kept us

1673
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 11: in it.

1674
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 9: I believe it, man. I love watching him. When I

1675
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 9: was a kid with those Bears teams, so I had

1676
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:58,680

Speaker 1: my predictions for this week, straight up and against the spread,

1689
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: and I'll try and tell you in the three fastest

1690
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 1: minutes of radio who we want to win as Texans fans.

1691
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: So let's go get my music ready and let's rock.

1692
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: Bengals taking on the Steelers in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh will go

1693
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 1: with Mason Rudolph. The Bengals are hot, but no Jamar Chase,

1694
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 1: no DJ reader. Cincinnati is favored by three. I'm gonna

1695
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 1: give the Steelers an upset win, and obviously it cover,

1696
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: So we need to Steelers to win.

1697
01:15:58,240 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 5: That's the part of it. It can't go against my heart, mahead.

1698
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 8: That's why I'm going.

1699
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 1: With Bills and Chargers. The Bills are favored by twelve

1700
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 1: and a half. The Chargers have no shot, none whatsoever. No,

1701
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: the game is in La. I know Easton Stick coming

1702
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 1: back bout, so no, no, no, Bills will win by fourteen.

1703
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 1: We needed Chargers to win, but the Bills are gonna win,

1704
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 1: and they're gonna win big. So that's what's on top

1705
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: for Saturday Sunday. Commander's taking on the Jets. Jets are

1706
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 1: three points favorite, Zach Wilson's out, Trevor Simans in.

1707
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go with the Jets.

1708
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna don't think the Commanders have much left, but

1709
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: let's go to the Commanders to get AA cover.

1710
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 8: So very very very close, Jets win.

1711
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Commanders cover. Seahawks taking on the Titans. Will Levis is

1712
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:37,799
Speaker 1: gonna be questionable for this game. So if it's Ryan Tannehill,

1713
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: I actually think the Titans have a shot. Want the

1714
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks to win, and I think the Seahawks will win

1715
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:44,200
Speaker 1: their favorite by three and a half. Let's get them

1716
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 1: a win, but the Tights are gonna cover this. They're

1717
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: gonna get inside the three and a half. Seahawks win,

1718
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:49,720
Speaker 1: Titans get to cover. The Colts are taking on the

1719
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 1: Falcons in Atlanta, and Atlanta's favorite by two and a half.

1720
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 8: I hate to say it, I want the Falcons to win.

1721
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 5: I really need the.

1722
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,639
Speaker 2: Falcons to win. We need the Falcons to win. They won't.

1723
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 1: The Colts will end up winning this. Taylor heine Key

1724
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 1: can only do so much. The Cults are gonna win

1725
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 1: and in so doing cover that two and a half.

1726
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: Packers taking on the Panthers. Panthers got a second win

1727
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: last week in the rain, Green made favor by four

1728
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: in the road.

1729
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 8: They'll get this win.

1730
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 1: It won't be easy and it won't be pretty, but

1731
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 1: they'll get the win. The win by touchdown over the

1732
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 1: Panthers twenty four to seventeen. That'll be with the Packers

1733
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: to seven and eight. Let's go Packers. The Lion's taking

1734
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 1: on the Vikings in Minnesota. This feels like a letdown

1735
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 1: game for Detroit.

1736
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,600
Speaker 8: It feels that way. They're favored by three. I'm going Vikings.

1737
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 1: When Nick mullins to bounce back and beat the Lions

1738
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:35,839
Speaker 1: and keep whatever hopes there are for the division alive

1739
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,759
Speaker 1: for some other team in the North not named Detroit.

1740
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 1: Detroit upset loss. Jags are taking on the Buccaneers. Trevor

1741
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 1: Lawrence questionable did practice on Friday. CJ betthird Trevor Lawrence

1742
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 1: maakes all the differences in the world. Tampa Bay is

1743
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: favored by two and a half. I and we need

1744
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay to win. So we're going with Tampa Bay

1745
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 1: to win and to cover that two and a half

1746
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: and beat the Jag in Tampa Bay.

1747
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:01,759
Speaker 5: That would be awesome.

1748
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:06,679
Speaker 1: Cardinals taken on the Bears. Bears favored by four, they'll

1749
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: win by seven. Cowboys going to the Dolphins a big one,

1750
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:12,600
Speaker 1: both ten and four. Miami's favored by a point and

1751
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: a half. Cowboys have not played well on the road.

1752
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,720
Speaker 1: It's the second straight on the road. I think the

1753
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins will get this one by a fuel goals, So

1754
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: that's a cover and a win for Miami. The Patriots

1755
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 1: taking on the Broncos. Would love to see an upset here,

1756
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 1: but it's not going to happen.

1757
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 8: The Broncos will get the win, they won't get the cover.

1758
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: Seven point favorite situation for the Broncos and the Patriots

1759
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 1: will get inside that seven Monday night quickly. Chiefs favored

1760
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 1: by ten, they'll win by fourteen. Eagles are favored by

1761
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half. They'll win by ten. Give the

1762
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: Giants a cover. Forty nine Ers Ravens. My goodness, how

1763
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:49,559
Speaker 1: good is this? Forty nine Ers favored by five and

1764
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: a half. They'll get the win and the cover. Beating

1765
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:56,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens on Christmas Night. That's gonna do it for

1766
01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:00,160
Speaker 1: the predictions. Coming up next, it's a little demik Go

1767
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 1: reloaded right here on Texans All Access. We all found

Speaker 1: We talked about the Browns, we talk about the previous game,

1774
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 1: so there's a lot to get into.

1775
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 8: So here's a little Tomico reloaded.

1776
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 3: It's head coach Demiko Ryans. Following the Texans epic win

1777
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 3: at Tennessee. Coach a week ago, we gathered here and

1778
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:32,640
Speaker 3: talked about what it was going to take, and it

1779
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 3: took everything you had, but you got the job done.

1780
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 3: Your feelings and thoughts.

1781
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 4: It did take everything, but I'm excited we got it done.

1782
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 4: It's always you want to come out on top with

1783
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 4: the W and we did that right. Took a lot

1784
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 4: of time on four quarters in overtime, but very pleased

1785
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 4: with the effort from our guys. And you know how

1786
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 4: everybody you know, continued to push. Nobody blinked in a moment.

1787
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,920
Speaker 4: Everybody had this confidence on this sideline and throughout the

1788
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 4: locker room that they feel we knew we were gonna

1789
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:00,919
Speaker 4: to win that game.

1790
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: Because so many times this year we've said, but as

1791
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 1: a team win Mark I were talking about it. We

1792
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: always give out to player of the game, and we're like, well,

1793
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: what about this guy, what about this guy?

1794
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 2: What about this guy?

1795
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 1: I know you can't just pick one, but it felt

1796
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:16,639
Speaker 1: like there were so many guys that contributed to the win.

1797
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 2: And that's probably the way you drew it up. No,

1798
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 2: it was I felt like that was that's that's what

1799
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 2: it would take.

1800
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 4: Like early in the week as we were preparing, I

1801
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,719
Speaker 4: felt like it was going to take everybody and literally

1802
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 4: everybody on our roster.

1803
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 2: They stood up and made play.

1804
01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 4: You talk about offense, every offensive lineman right was help

1805
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:37,759
Speaker 4: motor run. The way he ran our tight ends, Brevin Dalton,

1806
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 4: the way they blocked receivers, stepping in and blocking case

1807
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 4: having a step up. He made plays for us the

1808
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 4: off schedule play the motor none bigger than that one.

1809
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 2: To put put us in field goal range.

1810
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 4: So it's just every guy defensively, every defensive lineman contributed

1811
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 4: to the great the great defense we had against a run.

1812
01:20:57,640 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 4: And then also in the back end, like we lose Jimmy,

1813
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 4: we got you know, Adrian stepping in, uh Dac had

1814
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 4: to step in as safety, like multiple guys, Desmond King,

1815
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 4: Christian Harris, like multiple guys just stepped up and made

1816
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 4: play after play after play to help us win that game.

1817
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 3: Well, historically, good performance against the run, coach, And I

1818
01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 3: was joking with Johnny, I said, well, why can't they

1819
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:26,600
Speaker 3: do this every week? That's the run so difficult to

1820
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 3: get that kind of thing done. And I know every

1821
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:30,760
Speaker 3: back and every situation is a little bit different, but

1822
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 3: you saw the total team effort there.

1823
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did.

1824
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 4: And it started with the defensive line. The way they

1825
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,799
Speaker 4: reset the line of scrimmage. Is it called the interior

1826
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 4: d lineman?

1827
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 2: They were.

1828
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 4: They played physical, They knocked back the guard the center

1829
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 4: multiple times, our dns on the edge, they set the

1830
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 4: edges so the ball couldn't check and get out, get

1831
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 4: outside corners did a really good job. But showing up

1832
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:54,720
Speaker 4: on the perimeter, that's where Derek Harry has made a

1833
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 4: lot of a lot of plays. He checks his feet

1834
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 4: and he bounces the ball on the per and he's

1835
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,559
Speaker 4: one on one with a corner. I thought Steing and

1836
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 4: Nelson did a really good job was showing up when

1837
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:07,679
Speaker 4: it was time for them to show up.

1838
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 2: And now he had nowhere to go, so now.

1839
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 4: He almost stops in the backfield and that caused a

1840
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 4: ton of TFLs which led to his yard out.

1841
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,519
Speaker 1: And you played Nickel the entire game and you held

1842
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 1: him to nine yards. I mean, the shows you were

1843
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:24,719
Speaker 1: talking about Dez Kenyon hit him showing up. But Coach,

1844
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 1: it felt like there were a couple of times where

1845
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:30,160
Speaker 1: Henry wanted to cut runs back and it looked like

1846
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:34,599
Speaker 1: he had something and Denzel was right there on his hip.

1847
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 1: It felt like your linebackers played with this aggressive restraint

1848
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,800
Speaker 1: as if They didn't go run to where he was going.

1849
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 1: They anticipated where he was gonna be and they made

1850
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 1: plays that way.

1851
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was trust right.

1852
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 4: They trusted that the edge would be said by the

1853
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 4: corners and the defensive ends. And now you know Denzel Christian,

1854
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 4: they were able to flow. Denzel played fast, He made

1855
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 4: a lot of plays for his Desmond stepped up. He

1856
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 4: was playing well, like, there's no need to change. Let's

1857
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 4: keep him in the game as much as possible, no

1858
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:07,680
Speaker 4: matter what personnelity threw out there. Because Desmond was playing instinctive.

1859
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:10,759
Speaker 4: He was seeing it. He even made tackles for losses.

1860
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 4: And it looks like we were blitzing in but we weren't, right.

1861
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,920
Speaker 4: But he was all over it because he just had

1862
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 4: a really good feeling instinct for what they were doing.

1863
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:21,680
Speaker 3: Well, what about Desmond King, coach, because it looked like

1864
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 3: to me he was an honorary linebacker in the game.

1865
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 3: I know he's not one, but he was playing like one,

1866
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 3: very close to the line of scrimma.

1867
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty much, he was a linebacker. He was a

1868
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 4: linebacker on yesterday. But Desmond, what popped off for me

1869
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 4: is just his instincts. That's really what jumped off. You

1870
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,920
Speaker 4: talk about being at Nickel, right, you have to you

1871
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 4: have to fit the run if you're gonna play Nickel

1872
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 4: on your task with covering some of the best receivers

1873
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 4: as well, Desmond, he did a really good job of both.

1874
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 2: Right.

1875
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 4: Tried to mix it up, blitzing him a little bit,

1876
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 4: and he did a really good job of timing up

1877
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 4: his blitzes manipulating his looks when he wasn't blitzing. So

1878
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 4: he played the game really well, right, And that's where

1879
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 4: you that's where you say that veteran presence just takeover.

1880
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 9: Right.

1881
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes I didn't know what he was gonna do.

1882
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 4: He was all over, moving around, disguising his looks, doing

1883
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 4: a really nice job for us.

1884
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 2: Coaching.

1885
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 1: On the offensive side, you tell receivers no block, no rock,

1886
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:14,600
Speaker 1: you're not gonna run block, you're not gonna get the

1887
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 1: ball and receiving game. On the defense, if you don't

1888
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 1: stop the run, you don't get your opportunities to go

1889
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: rush to quarterback.

1890
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:21,720
Speaker 2: Come. I don't want to say we buried the lead

1891
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 2: in some sense, but.

1892
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 1: Yet seven sacks, it's the second most all tied for

1893
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 1: second most all time in Texans history, and you got

1894
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:31,640
Speaker 1: them in third and longer situations because you were so

1895
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: good against the run.

1896
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 2: It was a lot of third and threes and third

1897
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 2: and twos.

1898
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: You were third and nine or beyond, and that gave

1899
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 1: your guys an opportunity to go hunt with the pass

1900
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 1: rush what was really working for them upfront because you

1901
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 1: didn't bring that I remember five or more often. It

1902
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 1: was just those four guys getting to work and that

1903
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:48,640
Speaker 1: was the key man.

1904
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 4: When you win first and second down, like the D line,

1905
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 4: I always say, you earned the right to rush the passer,

1906
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 4: and they earned it by they were creating so much

1907
01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 4: bey of tracing they were making tackles were also now

1908
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 4: we're in second and twelve situations and now we get

1909
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 4: a stop and now you look up at third and fifteen,

1910
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 4: third and nine, and now you know, now it's all

1911
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 4: about the rush and coverage. Now they have to try

1912
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 4: to throw a deeper development concept and our safeties in

1913
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,519
Speaker 4: our corners did a really nice job of pattern matching

1914
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 4: right all of the concepts that they had, and it

1915
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 4: just made Levis hold onto the ball a little bit

1916
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 4: longer and that Dlon were able to come through with

1917
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:26,599
Speaker 4: some wins on some of the sacks.

1918
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 2: All Right, you just maleaku all right, Darry Barnett.

1919
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 4: They just beat their one on one as quick as

1920
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 4: you can beat a one on one. They beat their

1921
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 4: one on one and they are able to get the

1922
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 4: quarterback down.

1923
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: I think Derek tackled Levis with the tackle he did.

1924
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:41,599
Speaker 1: I think Jerry was tackling him from the other side

1925
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: with the tackle.

1926
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 2: All right.

1927
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:46,639
Speaker 3: So the way the defense played after that opening drive

1928
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:49,559
Speaker 3: by the Titans coach, when they scored after that, did

1929
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:51,839
Speaker 3: you feel like, all right, we really do have something

1930
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 3: And did that affect your decision making as late in

1931
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 3: a half you don't go forward up fourth to month,

1932
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 3: say let's kick the field goal because we're gonna be

1933
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 3: okay defensively? Was that part of the thought process there?

1934
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 3: What can you tell us?

1935
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 2: Oh?

1936
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 4: For sure, I felt good about it after our first drive,

1937
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 4: and we did a couple of bonehead things there on

1938
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 4: the first drive to allow them to get down there.

1939
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 2: I want to eliminate that on the first drive of games.

1940
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 2: We have to play better.

1941
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:16,760
Speaker 4: But once we settled in, I did feel like, Okay,

1942
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:21,440
Speaker 4: our guys are playing fast, like they're on it. They're confident,

1943
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 4: and I felt that, and knowing that, I felt like, man,

1944
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 4: they can't move the ball on us. The only way

1945
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 4: they can get something on us is if we do

1946
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 4: something to allow cheap explosive in the back end. But

1947
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:36,679
Speaker 4: the coverage was tight, the safeties were playing true, nobody

1948
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 4: was biting on so we were good. And Petrie thought

1949
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 4: it was one of his best games he's had, right

1950
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 4: a couple of past breakups. He's just he played really

1951
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 4: sound football, all right, and that gave me the confidence

1952
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 4: and okay, hey, let's just take three here at the

1953
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:52,920
Speaker 4: end of the half. We don't need to press, and

1954
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 4: let's just get points. Keep getting points, and at some point,

1955
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 4: you know, we get in the rezon we'll be able

1956
01:26:57,800 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 4: to score.

1957
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 1: Because when did you feel like Case kind of got

1958
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,720
Speaker 1: comfortable in the game. I mean, it's thirteen nothing and

1959
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: we're kind of like, man, do we have two scores

1960
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 1: in us today? But it felt like at some point

1961
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 1: he got more comfortable in what he was doing and

1962
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 1: obviously got to the fourth quarter and then made a

1963
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:14,920
Speaker 1: ton of plays.

1964
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 2: When did you kind of feel like Case was fighting

1965
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:17,920
Speaker 2: his groove.

1966
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 4: And I felt I feel that drive, you know, right

1967
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 4: before going into half. I feel like that was Okay,

1968
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 4: we got some momentum. We started to move the ball.

1969
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 4: So I felt that com Feldom started to settle in

1970
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 4: there and move around a little bit, so I step

1971
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 4: up in the pocket right, move around a little bit

1972
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 4: and make some throw. So at that point going into

1973
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:36,840
Speaker 4: the half hole, like okay, now we just got to

1974
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 4: get them the ball back and just make sure defensively.

1975
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 4: I was pleading with our guys to kind of let's

1976
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 4: let's take the ball, right, we take the ball, take

1977
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:48,720
Speaker 4: the ball to give our offense a short feel. But

1978
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 4: but our offense they moved it enough, right. Kayimi did

1979
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 4: a really nice job of making the kicks when he

1980
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:56,160
Speaker 4: needed to make him to keep us in the game

1981
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 4: and we needed it most. We had a drive going

1982
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 4: down and we score with Ky stepping up in the

1983
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 4: pocket to throw the ball.

1984
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 2: Towey.

1985
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:06,000
Speaker 3: I think I'm personally running Park Avenue in New York

1986
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 3: to say that Fairbairn should be AFC a Special Teams

1987
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 3: Player of the Week at that for a second, But

1988
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 3: the play of the game, there's so many plays of

1989
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 3: the game because any one of them could have turned

1990
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:19,439
Speaker 3: this game. But keenum able to run out to the

1991
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 3: right side, roll to the right and hit Motor on

1992
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 3: the pass play to get you a field goal range

1993
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 3: and the adjustment that Motor made in the pattern. Can

1994
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 3: you talk about that one a little bit.

1995
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 4: Right, that's a play there where Motor is really he's

1996
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 4: stepping up through the line, and typically you just have

1997
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 4: a check down where you're you're checking over the balls

1998
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 4: not there, and you just go flat.

1999
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,280
Speaker 2: To you just go lateral to the sideline.

2000
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:44,800
Speaker 4: But you see Motor make the adjustment and he makes

2001
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 4: that angle more of a forty five degree angle toward

2002
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 4: the side line where he is a runaway angle from

2003
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 4: that defender, and Case does a really nice job of

2004
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 4: adjusting the trajectory of the throat drops it right over

2005
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:58,840
Speaker 4: the defender and Motor I just look up and it's like,

2006
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 4: all right, nobody's out there, like go go go. Like then,

2007
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 4: once he crossed me at field, I think once he

2008
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 4: crossed the fifty, I'm like, yeah, we're in emy's range.

2009
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 1: That we were all thinking that same thing. Because I

2010
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 1: don't want to say this because I made a minute

2011
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 1: forty nine. We've done some stuff this year, but the

2012
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 1: way the previous drive, I think we lost twenty one

2013
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 1: yards on three sacks, So we're like, okay, when he

2014
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 1: made that happen, like, is there a chance here? I mean,

2015
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:28,320
Speaker 1: it's emy kicking, Like, okay, we got a shot. I

2016
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,320
Speaker 1: want to stick with Motor for a second, coach, because

2017
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 1: it feels like in some of the biggest games this year,

2018
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:35,879
Speaker 1: he's really given you a real jolt. I mean, Cincinnati

2019
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 1: goes for one hundred and fifty yards. I mean yesterday

2020
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 1: he was running. That's the best I've seen him run.

2021
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean the touchdown run that gets called back. I

2022
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 1: mean I think every Titan hit him and he's just

2023
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 1: all the way through it and gets to the end zone.

2024
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:50,400
Speaker 1: What in your eyes has Motor meant to the offense

2025
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:52,559
Speaker 1: since he's really kind of stepped into the void.

2026
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, he's He's been everything if we can get

2027
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 4: when we get the run game going, like you mentioned,

2028
01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 4: if Cincinnati right or jacksonvill we get the run game going,

2029
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:03,680
Speaker 4: and some of our best wins this year, that's what

2030
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:05,800
Speaker 4: we've been able to do is run the ball. And

2031
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:09,160
Speaker 4: you know, Motor has made a ton of plays for us.

2032
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 4: And I think our old line they blocked it really

2033
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 4: great yesterday, right, and created those lanes for him. But

2034
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 4: Motor is a slippery runner, really great contact balance, and

2035
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:21,680
Speaker 4: he's always finishing forward. It's one thing I really like

2036
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:24,679
Speaker 4: about him playing behind his pass and he's just he's

2037
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 4: a one of those guys you could just count on, right,

2038
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 4: very reliable in the moment. You know, there's a good

2039
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 4: job protecting the football. You know he's going to gain

2040
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:34,679
Speaker 4: positive yardage every time he touches.

2041
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 3: Another thing we talked about a week ago was the

2042
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 3: Titans uniforms, meaning the Oilers uniforms. You had a bit

2043
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:43,680
Speaker 3: of a reaction to that last week. So how did

2044
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 3: that play out that part of it in your mind

2045
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:48,880
Speaker 3: when you saw the stadium decked out that way? Did

2046
01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 3: it affect the players at all? Are they too young?

2047
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:51,599
Speaker 3: I'd you see a coach.

2048
01:30:52,040 --> 01:30:55,880
Speaker 4: I think the players are too young to really truly understand.

2049
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 2: And for me, I really didn't understand.

2050
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 4: My wife is giving me this history history lesson to

2051
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 4: give you that lesson.

2052
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 2: So she gave me the lesson on.

2053
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 4: That's our colors, that's our love you blue, that's ours.

2054
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 4: So she was giving me the lesson and that that

2055
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:16,720
Speaker 4: made me understanding the moment like, Okay, this means a

2056
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 4: lot to the Native Houstonians, right, And it felt very

2057
01:31:21,520 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 4: weird being there in Tennessee.

2058
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:29,520
Speaker 2: Statement they got the Oilers logo, all of the Oilers wardrobe.

2059
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:32,240
Speaker 2: It's just it's just felt really weird. Man very bull

2060
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 2: out with the with.

2061
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 1: The hat, with the hat, I thought, man.

2062
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:39,639
Speaker 2: Like, hey man, it's a little a little too much.

2063
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:43,680
Speaker 4: But I'm very happy that we were able to get

2064
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:47,760
Speaker 4: that win for all the Houstonians, right that feel the

2065
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:51,280
Speaker 4: type of way about that Houston Blue. And so I'm

2066
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 4: happy that we were able to, you know, give you

2067
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:57,640
Speaker 4: some some bragging rights over the over the Oilers Titans

2068
01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:00,479
Speaker 4: who are with whatever they will be coach.

2069
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 2: There were so many moments.

2070
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the you know, Case hitting motor defensively, you know,

2071
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, Steven's pick was was huge.

2072
01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:11,639
Speaker 2: What are you thinking when Case.

2073
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 1: Floats one up from the twenty yard liner so to

2074
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz in the middle of the fields just under

2075
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:18,920
Speaker 1: five you gotta score a touchdown and he throws he

2076
01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 1: throws one up there and there's Roger mccraesay, what are

2077
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 1: you thinking at that moment in time?

2078
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 2: Can you say it on the radio? Can you say

2079
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:28,320
Speaker 2: those words on the radio?

2080
01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 5: Oh?

2081
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:29,240
Speaker 2: No, I can?

2082
01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:33,200
Speaker 4: I mean it was you know, you don't we're doing

2083
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 4: we're doing a boot there, so we want to throw

2084
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 4: the ball out to Hutches open.

2085
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 2: We miss him and he starts to move around. I

2086
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:43,840
Speaker 2: was like, oh no, not in the middle of the field.

2087
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 2: You don't throw the ball up in the middle of

2088
01:32:45,360 --> 01:32:45,959
Speaker 2: the field.

2089
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:49,599
Speaker 4: With Dalton, he comes through and he saves the day,

2090
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:52,360
Speaker 4: and by taking the ball from the defender, he just

2091
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:56,400
Speaker 4: shows that it was It was a dicey play, right,

2092
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 4: and no case wants that play back, but you don't

2093
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 4: want to make that through.

2094
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:02,240
Speaker 1: One of the things that you said last week that

2095
01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:05,480
Speaker 1: stood with that stayed with me as you said playmakers

2096
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 1: need to make plays, and it feels like that was

2097
01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:10,080
Speaker 1: one of those opportunities.

2098
01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 2: Like Dalton Schultz is one of our playmakers.

2099
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 1: He's got to go make a play and a little

2100
01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:15,280
Speaker 1: dicey buzzy went made a play.

2101
01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 2: Little dicey. Don't want them to make plays that way.

2102
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:20,520
Speaker 4: But that is what we talk about, right you playmakers,

2103
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:23,479
Speaker 4: your best players have to play their best And that

2104
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:26,720
Speaker 4: was Dalton stepping up and making making that catch for

2105
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 4: is That's Noah stepping up and making big catches for

2106
01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 4: us all day, right, And that's what you have to

2107
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:34,720
Speaker 4: have motor one of our best players making plays. And

2108
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:37,120
Speaker 4: when you have that, you have an opportunity to win

2109
01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:37,439
Speaker 4: the game.

2110
01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:37,880
Speaker 2: All right.

2111
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 3: So now you have another situation where you're coming off

2112
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:42,920
Speaker 3: a big emotional win and perhaps the biggest and most

2113
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:45,040
Speaker 3: emotional of the season. We don't have to weigh it

2114
01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:49,160
Speaker 3: right now, but you face an opponents Sunday that's really good,

2115
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 3: especially on defense. They're hot right now. They're finding all

2116
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 3: sorts of ways to win football games. What do you

2117
01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 3: think of the Cleveland Browns from where you sit right now, coach, Yeah.

2118
01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,120
Speaker 4: It's almost like we're the same team and they're dealing with,

2119
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:03,639
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of a lot of injuries. Guys

2120
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:06,400
Speaker 4: are in and out right, they lost their quarterback, so

2121
01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 4: it's you know, it's kind of you're in the same boat, right,

2122
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 4: I mean, it's all about that next man up, Man

2123
01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:13,000
Speaker 4: tell or man, let's.

2124
01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:14,559
Speaker 2: Go win these games.

2125
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 4: As a team in Cleveland, they're finding ways to win,

2126
01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 4: and the same goals for us. We're all finding ways

2127
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 4: to win. So I think this is going to be

2128
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:26,720
Speaker 4: a very easily matched game, all right. And really they

2129
01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:29,519
Speaker 4: play really good defense. We play really good defense. So

2130
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:32,040
Speaker 4: it's just gonna be a matter of for me which

2131
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 4: defense plays the best. You know, this Sunday, that's gonna

2132
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:37,400
Speaker 4: be the tail of this game, right, we can take

2133
01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:40,320
Speaker 4: the ball away. You know, they have Flaccos a ton

2134
01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:44,240
Speaker 4: of experience, has made a lot of plays, won super bowls, right,

2135
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:45,800
Speaker 4: and he's done a good job for them over the

2136
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:48,000
Speaker 4: past couple of weeks. So we have to find a way,

2137
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:51,840
Speaker 4: all right to make it money for Flacco. Right, And

2138
01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:53,719
Speaker 4: we have to stop the run game. I know they've

2139
01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:55,920
Speaker 4: lost a lot of offensive line, but they still they're

2140
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 4: a good run team. So we have to stop the run.

2141
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 4: Think the Bears did a good job of that yesterday. Hey,

2142
01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 4: stopping to run. We have to start there and forced

2143
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:04,599
Speaker 4: Flacco would have beat us to win the football.

2144
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:05,680
Speaker 5: All Right, that's gonna do it.

2145
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:08,759
Speaker 1: For tonight's show, big thanks to Miko, to Mark, to Drew,
