00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Here's the snap, four man rush firing Daffield and got

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: a man rock and roll touchdown. Texans game day is

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, nice ball, nice ball, five nights a week.

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: The hits keep on coming. Wows, We're gonna have our quarterback. No,

5
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: it's Texans All Excess. Welcome into Texans All Access. On

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, Mark VanderMeer joins me for this hour of

7
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: Texans Radio. Mark, I may or may not have told

8
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: people where you were for the first hour during the

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Texans Players show. I mean, I know you love your

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: holiday shopping in the sales were just really hard, you know,

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 1: Johnny did this to me yesterday. I've been bad this week.

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: By the way, I was late. I was two minutes

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: late for Texans Monday at eight am on Monday morning.

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: I heard it was not my fault. It was an accident.

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: That was First of all, there was one of my neighborhoods,

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: so it took longer to get out of the neighborhood,

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, the school traffic. And then on ninety there

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: was a NASA when I hope nobody got hurt, but

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: it was a nasty one and it just took me

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: that much longer to get here so and then earlier today,

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: what did I have? I don't know what did you

22
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: make up about me? You had big holiday shopping that

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: you had to get to and it could not wait.

24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: And you know what's funny is we have this running

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: joke like with Drew, Johnny and I and I don't

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: think we've ever spoken about it, but it's like this

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: unspoken rule that if Mark is not on the show,

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: you have to just tell people where you can. You

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: are at liberty to make up wherever you might think

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: you might be. And I heard Johnny say that you

31
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: were really upset at a barista for your coffee order,

32
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: which is see, Johnny's lives are like mine, they're kind

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: of believable. Oh it's very believable. Yeah, I was like, well,

34
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: Mark does like his coffee a certain way, and he

35
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: could be holiday shopping. People might think you're actually out there.

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: They would never believe that, because I'm very much on

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: the record saying I don't start Christmas shopping till about

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: December twenty third, late in the day. This could have

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: been this could have been a new This could have

40
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: been a New Year, New yun though for all we know.

41
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, that you were mad at the coffee barista.

42
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: And that's why that's believable that I would be upset

43
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: I didn't get the order right or they didn't get

44
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: the order right. But I don't get mad at service people,

45
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: especially lately since COVID. Anybody who's working anywhere, I'm very

46
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: grateful for Thank you for working, thank thank you for

49
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: people aren't and a lot in the restaurant industry, the

50
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: restaurant service, food service industry, a lot of people are

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: backed out of that. And if you're in that business

52
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: and you hire people, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1: that's what I say. Oh, well, you're just in the

61
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: holiday spirits. I am in the holiday spirit because you know,

62
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: usually DP, I'm Ebenezer vandermer this time of year, and

63
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to turn a leaf. I would

64
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: think this year, of all seasons, you would be Ebenezer

65
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: vander Mayer. I am been going so well. Yeah, I'm

66
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: a little upset about thirty one. Nothing, okay, I am.

67
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: I can't deny it. But hey, Seattle in town on Sunday,

68
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: they give up a lot of yards. Maybe this is

69
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: an opportunity, let's go. I spoke with John Boyle, who's

70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: a team reporter for the Seahawks, and he did say

71
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: that they gave up a lot of yards. Because in

72
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: the earlier part of the season they gave up a

73
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: lot of yards. But lately they've been playing. They played

74
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: well on Sunday. In fact, I saw a chunk of

75
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: that game against the forty nine ers. They own the

76
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, though, they just do. They swept him

77
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: this year. Even in the season they're having where Russell Wilson,

78
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, what's going to happen with them? It's the

79
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: end of an era. Even in a season like this,

80
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: they managed to beat the forty nine ers. They're very

81
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: good against them, and I think that, Yeah, they have

82
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: been improving in certain categories. Russell Wilson's always going to

83
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: be difficult. Look, it's the Texans here in twenty twenty one.

84
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: They can't look past anybody. Look at the Jets. The

85
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Jets are dead last in defense. Seahawks are second to last.

86
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: And we know it didn't go as well as you

87
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: wanted it too against the Jets. So what am I saying?

88
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: I just go play better? Please? Yes I could. I mean,

89
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: obviously they'll put their best foot forward on Sunday. I

90
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: was really looking forward to the three game homestretch, which

91
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: now this will be the third of the three home games.

92
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: You had the Jets, the Coals, and now the Seahawks,

93
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: and and they hit one since they played at Tennessee

94
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: right well in the rain, in the rain, and they

95
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: were really struggling on the road. And it seems like

96
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: the road struggles have carried themselves home. And hopefully they

97
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: can get this straightened out before they head back on

98
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: the road again. You know what's gonna be a relative

99
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: I say relative war will be the following week at Jacksonville.

100
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: That is going to be really interesting because both teams,

101
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: the Jags, remember what happened on opening Day. The Texans

102
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: are a very different team when you look at the

103
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: personnel and everything, and who knows what happens with Tyrod

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 1: and everything. So it could be different quarterback, different running back,

105
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: running backs because Lindsay played well in that game. So

106
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: let's see how it shakes out next week. But we'll

107
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: talk about that next week. The matter in hand Seahawks

108
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: Sunday at noon and it is homecoming, which is very

109
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: cool as well. Oh yeah, a lot of Texans legends

110
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: will be in the house and Jonathan Joseph I believe

111
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: as well, home field advantage captain. Yeah, j Joe and

112
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: Moran Norris is gonna be on with the Sean and

113
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: Seth crew on the pregame show right after Let's see.

114
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: I think it's Andre and I've visiting. Then it's gonna

115
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: be j Joe, then Moran Norris. So it's gonna be

116
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: good like that. I think Johnny comes out in the

117
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: nine o'clock hour, but we'll come on starting at ten

118
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: fifteen from the stage at at the bud Light Plaza area.

119
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun, fun day at NRG Stadium on Sunday.

120
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: It is a lot of fun and you know, I was.

121
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: I had some friends that were at the game on Sunday.

122
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: They were sitting way in the East Club, and so

123
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: I told him if I had a chance, I would

124
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: come down and say hi. And so I had to. Yeah.

125
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I was like, well, let me just see

126
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: how this goes. But you know, because of the score

127
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: being well, because of the way the score was, I

128
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: wasn't really writing a whole lot. So I thought right

129
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: after halftime or right around halftime, I made the walk

130
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: and I've never done that. I've never walked from the

131
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: press box and then you go down to the West

132
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: West Club and then you have to walk around the stadium.

133
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: But I saw a few legends walking around and the club.

134
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: You know, you would not know what the score on

135
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: the field was based on walking through the club. Though

136
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: the music was pumping, people were having a grand old time.

137
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: They were just drinking and having food. And I remember

138
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: the days when I used to go to the game

139
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: as a casual fan. Right you did, you were season

140
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: ticket I was a season ticket holder for it, and

141
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: we sat in the West Club. We used to sit

142
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: field level, and then at some point we moved and

143
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. Made me miss those days. And

144
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: we brought our kids for family field day a few

145
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and my kids, who were older now, they said, oh,

146
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: we want to go back and visit our old seats. Yeah,

147
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: oh really yeah, But I said, no, we can't. We're

148
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: on the it's a field day. It's not seat day.

149
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: It's not going well. The field day was fun. That

150
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: was an internal thing I think with the score being

151
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: what it was, but the season being what it is,

152
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: obviously what's going on on the field is not exactly

153
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: pleasing all throughout the game. I get that, but there's

154
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: so much stuff to do with the stadium, which is nice.

155
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: So and I know this sounds like an informercial right now,

156
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: but it's true. I mean, look, the Texans have gone

157
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: out of their way in the last two decades to

158
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: make sure that the game day experience is top notch

159
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: in one of the best in the NFL always, and

160
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: it still is. It's just look, people want to see

161
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: you win. I get it. People want to see you win,

162
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: and obviously they didn't do that on Sunday. Well, that

163
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: Jacksonville game was a lot of fun, So hopefully there

164
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 1: will be more games like that. You got five games,

165
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: You got five games left. Not all of them are

166
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: at home. Obviously, You've got a few more home games,

167
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: so hopefully you get some points on the board and

168
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: three things around. Yeah, and at least and you know,

169
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: we talked to Farrell Brown in the first hour and

170
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: even he was saying, you know, just to head into

171
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: the off season with a few wins. This season is

172
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: what it is. The Texans are eliminated mathematically from the playoffs.

173
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: They were non mathematically eliminated probably weeks ago, but you know,

174
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: just high we're non mathematics still officially not eliminated, but

175
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 1: kind of eliminated. I would make some January plans unless

176
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: you're holding out, but this year, I right, go on,

177
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: but Fararell Farrell was saying that, you know, it would

178
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: just be nice to get some wins here in December

179
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: because December and January, because then you head into the

180
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: off season with a little bit of momentum on your

181
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: side and you feel like you're building towards something. So

182
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: just for the fans, for the players, like they all

183
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: want to just try to get a few wins here. Well,

184
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's really disappointing about this year. I have

185
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: a list, Oh but I'm just gonna give you one

186
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: rank them. I'm just gonna give you one of the

187
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: things right now, no particular order. I don't know where

188
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: this ranks, but this is a year with the AFC

189
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: in particular, is so wide open. And look at the

190
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: teams that are leading the conference right now. The Patriots, Okay,

191
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: I get it. The Patriots beat the Bills last night

192
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: and they are nine in four now, so they have

193
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: the top seed. But you have the Chiefs at eight

194
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: and four, the Ravens at eight and four, nobody's running

195
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: away with anything. The Titans at eight and four. You

196
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: beat the Titans, right all but three teams in the

197
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: conference are still in the hunt at the very least.

198
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: And the three teams are the Jets, the Jags, and

199
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: the Texans. And that's really disappointing, because you know, if

200
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: you racked up four or five six wins somehow, you'd

201
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: be right in it right now. You might fade down

202
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: the stretch, but you'd be right in it right now.

203
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: Obviously that's not happening. And I can't wait to get

204
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: back to the days when you can at the very

205
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: least flirt with playoff contention, make the playoffs do some damage.

206
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: See what happens. Yeah, I do. These would be my

207
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: favorite shows in December where you try to figure out

208
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: in the hunt, the wild card House, the magic numbers

209
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: that you need to win, and you know, it just

210
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: feels it's hard to back to back years to not

211
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: have that going for you in December. So it would

212
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: be great to turn things around. It'd be great to

213
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: just get a win. But to lose the way the

214
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: Texans did on Sunday, that was that was hard. It

215
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: was hard. It was but on the pain meter. And again,

216
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to rank everything, but you're about to,

217
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: but I'll rank the last two weeks. The Jets far

218
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: more painful to me really than the Colts. As much

219
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: as I hate the Colts in a healthy sports hate way, Yes,

220
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: the Jets was way more painful because that was a

221
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: very beatable team. It's not a very good team. They've

222
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: got some good players, there's no doubt, and you can

223
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: see what they're building there. They got the young rookie

224
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: quarterback and all that. But that was a game that

225
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: I thought the Texans not would win necessarily. I'm not crazy,

226
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: all right, It's the NFL. Anything happens every week. It's

227
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: game day, it's any given Sunday all that, but I

228
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: thought that was a gettable game and the Colts, not

229
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: that I didn't think it was gettable, but look, it

230
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: was what it was, all right. They are a really

231
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: good team. They as the game went on, kind of

232
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: wore you down with that running game, and the Texans

233
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: couldn't get anything going offensively against the Jets. They were

234
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: up fourteen to three, come on, close it out, win

235
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, two really nice touchdown drives by Tyrod,

236
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: which is a shame of it. You know, it just

237
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: seems like they were in it. You're right, they were

238
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: in it pretty much that entire game. All right, Let's

239
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: get into some of the hot reads of the week.

240
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of quarterbacks, a starting quarterback announcement is coming sometime

241
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: this week. Tyrod Taylor or Davis Mills. Head coach David

242
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: Culley says he will decide and the team will decide

243
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: after further evaluation. Both played in Sunday's lost to the Colts.

244
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: Taylor had an MRI on his left wrist on Monday,

245
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: according to David Culley, and Mills, who came in late

246
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: in the third quarter and finished off the game, showed

247
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: some improvement despite not getting first team reps in practice.

248
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: So we haven't seen Mills for a few weeks now.

249
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: I've felt encourage that you know, they liked what they

250
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: saw in him being able to pick up the blitz,

251
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: and you know, they thought that he was using his

252
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: mobility a little bit more. So. Obviously, I don't know.

253
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen this week. I

254
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: feel like it's we're headed down that road now, Mark,

255
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean it, it's just one of the It would

256
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: make sense in a season like this. Well. I always

257
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: thought when Trod came back that unless he's winning on

258
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: a consistent basis, you're going to see Mills again at

259
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: some point before the end of the season. And you

260
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: need to because you need to know what you really

261
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: think of him moving forward into twenty twenty two and beyond.

262
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Because do you want to draft a quarterback with your

263
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: first round pick and whatever other first round picks you

264
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: get wherever those fall. Would you take one that high?

265
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: Would you not, would you take one later, would you

266
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: not take one at all? I don't know how they're

267
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: going to handle it, but it gives you more information

268
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: about Davis and then you want everyone's got to improve,

269
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: right every single player in this league. Tom Brady's looking

270
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: to improve. I mean everybody wants to improve. Mills has

271
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: to improve. So now you get to see if he improves.

272
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: And with Tyrod the reported hand injury and all that,

273
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: if Mills can come back and show that improvement, Look,

274
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: that helps you evaluate him further going into the offseason.

275
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: Even if he goes like four and one down the

276
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: stretch here, I'm not saying he's a quarterback in twenty

277
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: twenty two. Probably would be if you went four and one.

278
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: Let's be honest here, but they want to at least

279
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: see improvement, you know, get better, show us you're moving

280
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: in the right direction. And when he came in the

281
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: other day, I expected a little pop late, especially when

282
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: the game was out of reach and maybe prevent defense

283
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: and you're able to get the ball in the end zone.

284
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: Somehow didn't happen. Look, we'll see what he can bring

285
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: with a full week of practice. If it is indeed

286
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: him and like we said, the Seahawks have given up

287
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: some yards, maybe there are some opportunities there. Yeah, Well,

288
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: the first first team reps in tomorrow's practice, we'll pretty

289
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: much determine who's gonna be the starting quarterback. But I

290
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: don't know how this is gonna go because David Colley

291
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: speaks to the media before practice, right, so he actually

292
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to say anything. He's not gonna say

293
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: anything about who's getting first team rips. And then we're

294
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 1: gonna go to practice and we're probably not going to

295
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: see who's getting first team rips because we're out there

296
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: during the media portion, which is warming up stretching an

297
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: individual team period, individual period, not team one thing that

298
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: can give it away. If Tyrod is hurt, like to

299
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: hurt to participate in practice, but he can always stretch.

300
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean even they stretch. Well, look they're stretching, and

301
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: they're stretching right, because in the Bill O'Brien days, there

302
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: was one year where all we would see is stretching.

303
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: So guys would be like in traction stretching and you

304
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: couldn't really tell are they inter ot I don't know.

305
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: I on more than one occasion, and we sometimes they'd

306
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: be in the bubble and they'd be like way on

307
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: the other end of the bubble, so you couldn't even

308
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: see them stretching. It's like you need to take binoculars.

309
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: But then we'd leave and then I'd see several guys

310
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: be done with this like they were all it was

311
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: like one hundred percent attendance during the media portion of right,

312
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: Which then I thought, why don't all teams do this?

313
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: Because I mean, it comes but you know, it comes

314
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: out on the injury report, so then you find out.

315
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: You find out later who who's questionable, who's limited. You

316
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: find out all that anyway, And teams aren't stupid. You know,

317
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: they're looking at the situation. They've seen what happened in

318
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: the games. They're speculating like everybody else. It's really hard

319
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: to give a quarterback situation secret. But you're right, Coach

320
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: Cully speaks before practice Thursday, the coordinators. Yeah, Cully doesn't

321
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: speak on Thursday. This is where I was headed with

322
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: this is Tim Kelly get A saying he's not gonna

323
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: say it. He's not gonna say anything. So Friday is it,

324
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: And very often Friday he does this off the record section. Right,

325
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: but that shit. But then but then one time he

326
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: did go on the record to say that Tyrod was starting,

327
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: and then he went off the record with the then

328
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: he went off the right. So maybe we won't know

329
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: until Friday. Yeah, officially. He's really great doing those off

330
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: the record things. I mean, Bride did a few of them,

331
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: but coach Kelly does it every the mood, the mood

332
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: when Bill O'Brien would do the off the records is

333
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: so different. Pins and needles, it like it was so scared.

334
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: I think you once shot me a dirty look. I did.

335
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you asked him a question. I asked him

336
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: a question that I thought was innocuous. But apparently, like

337
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: you just don't nobody knows what was innocuous. This is

338
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: off the record talk about I'm like, but it's off

339
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: the record, and I just literally I just want to know.

340
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: But I after that, I was like, all right, I'm

341
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: afraid to ask anything off the record. Sorry, my bad.

342
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: It was it was something about it was something about

343
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: preparing for the draft or something that happens in the

344
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: off season. But I asked it in season. It wasn't

345
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: It wasn'thing super innocent. But at the time we were like, well, no, no,

346
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: don't use that right now. There was still like a

347
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: def Con two kind of thing going on with Bill

348
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: O'Brien and these off the record sessions. Look, yeah, he

349
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: won a bunch of games here didn't go well at

350
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: the end. We all know the rest of the story. No,

351
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: he's not going to be coming in for homecoming. I

352
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: don't think so. We won't have that. He's still with

353
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: Alabama and they're in that final four in college football.

354
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: Good for him. Yeah, you know, I feel like if

355
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: we ever saw him out and about, he'd be lovely

356
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: as he usually was. Of course, Oh yeah, he really was.

357
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: I wonder if then we could we could have conversations

358
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: about these sort of things. I would I would not.

359
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: I think so because he always thought. I used to

360
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: tell I used to talk to him about stuff like that,

361
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: like in the off season, offseason, off season, Bill was

362
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: great to talk to you about this. Didn't you even

363
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: say to him, this is offseason Bill we're talking to

364
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: right now. No, he said it, and he asked me

365
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: if um, he asked me if people walked on ink

366
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: shells around him, and I said, well, yes they do,

367
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: and he seemed surprised by that, answered me, yeah, he

368
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: said what he was really flabbergasted by that. We did

369
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: so many good shows with him, and I mean, really

370
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: he would just turn it off. He was really great

371
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: with He was very charming and very charismatic when he

372
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: wanted to be, but you know, in a press conference

373
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: setting he was. There were times when he was unbelievably awesome,

374
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: and there were times when he just didn't want to talk,

375
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: just didn't want to say anything, and especially when people

376
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: were sort of like picking apart information for injuries, right,

377
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: so tell me, you know, and oh my gosh, you know,

378
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: I just didn't go well at times. I think the

379
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: media you kind of figure out what he would and

380
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't answer, and you find a way to talk around it.

381
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: He did good shows with you know, Johnny and I

382
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: would have him in here and we'd do a really

383
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: fun show because we're talking ball. You know, we're just

384
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: talking football stuff or you know, how how things work

385
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: behind the scenes a little bit. And he was really

386
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: happy to talk about that stuff because we weren't grilling

387
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: him on like someone's all gonna play what about that

388
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: hangnail and jury? Tell us, you know, he doesn't want

389
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't he doesn't really like that all right. Another news,

390
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: Traymont Smith became the first Texans player ordered a contract

391
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: extension in season under general manager Nick ka Sirio. He

392
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: took over kickoff return duties this season starting in Week

393
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: seven at Arizona. Then the next week he recorded a

394
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: forty four yard kickoff return against the Rams that was

395
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: the Texans longest kickoff return of the season. And then

396
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: in the win at Tennessee, he recovered a muff punt

397
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: at the Tennessee five yard line for a takeaway in

398
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: the third quarter. So, I mean, Tremont Smith has been

399
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: doing some really nice things in the return game, which

400
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: is something that the Texans have really struggled with. And

401
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: he spoke with the media yesterday and you just really

402
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: feel good about, you know, the path that he has

403
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: traveled to get to where he is now. And I

404
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: heard Nick in the Loop this morning and they talked

405
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: to him about the possibility of signing more players like

406
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: this in season. I thought his answer was interesting because

407
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: he said they had those conversations, but it's really like

408
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: they're just having those covers and it depends on the

409
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: player as much as it does the Texans, and the

410
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: reason being that a lot of their agents want to

411
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: just test the free market and that's hard to do

412
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: in season. So you can't do it in season. I mean,

413
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: I guess you have to wait. Yeah, the agent might

414
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: be able to hear some rumbling, but it's not really

415
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 1: supposed to happen that way, right, So guys like that.

416
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: And Nick told us that too. Because our interview with

417
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: Nick is up on YouTube, will play it on the

418
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: show to Morrow on Texans All Access. We spoke with

419
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: him a few hours later after he was on in

420
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: the Loop and he said something similar that, Yeah, they're

421
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: talking to players, so things can happen at any time

422
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: where they get a yes, and that's what it is.

423
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: And certain guys they want to see around here for

424
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: a while. But yeah, I could understand a player wanted

425
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: to test the market as well, although some players they

426
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: might feel like, hey, burden the haad. I got a

427
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: good offer, good situation, let me go ahead and take

428
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: it rather than being out there for a long time.

429
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: And now if they signed, they could be in the

430
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: building and do some things that they wouldn't ordinarily be

431
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: able to do once the league year starts up. Yeah,

432
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: and I think like a guy like Tremont, who was

433
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: with three teams two years ago, has bounced around the

434
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: league a bunch just wants to have that stability of

435
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: knowing he's going to be hearing water. It is nice

436
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: to be wanted. He's getting, you know, he's getting some

437
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: major kickoff return duties here, and he knows that's what

438
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: his role is going to be. He likes the coaching staff,

439
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: I imagine, and he likes being here. So he said,

440
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: I feel like i'd be the same way. I would

441
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: just want to know where I'm going to be a

442
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: year unless I'm gonna make like a bazillion dollars somewhere.

443
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: And I thought, oh, there's a chance for that thing.

444
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: You could get hurt tomorrow, right, Yeah, And he's absolutely

445
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: protected to whatever extent the contract protects them, as opposed

446
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: to if you're on the way out, you know you're

447
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent, Hey, maybe you don't get signed.

448
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: If you have to rehab throughout the entire offseason, then

449
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: wait till camp. That's a factor as well for these guys,

450
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: because it's not like he's going to hit the free

451
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: agent marketing get you know, top max dollary, like NFL

452
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: equivalent of a max deal. He's not that kind of guy.

453
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: So I could easily understand it from that standpoint as well.

454
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: You're sort of it's not a huge guarantee, but there's

455
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: some comfort there. There's some security relative to the NFL.

456
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: Man some of these guys, he's just play a few

457
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: years and they move on, So you want to make

458
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: the most of it while you're around. Yeah. I wonder

459
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: if guys like Camu Gruge Hill and some of these

460
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: other guys that they really like, if they signed them,

461
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna be in season because we for a long

462
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: time there was a policy and maybe it started under

463
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: Rick Smith, where they did not offer any extensions or

464
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: do any contract negotiations as soon as the season started,

465
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: so it was just understood that nothing like that was

466
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: going to happen. But until the last day of the season. Yeah,

467
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, it'll be interesting to see

468
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: what happens here as they get more talented, right, you

469
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: get some Pro Bowlers, you get that kind of thing

470
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: because Rick, Look, Rick was here and they built up

471
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: to the twenty eleven team that had sixteen Pro Bowlers

472
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: on it, not all in one year, but guys who

473
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: had either been on the Pro Bowl team we're named

474
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: that year or we're gonna be named in the future.

475
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: That's sixteen. That's a ton of good talent on that team.

476
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: So I could understand him. Look, if I gotta if

477
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: I sign you that he's gonna want to sign and

478
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: someone's gonna want more money or restructuring. We have a

479
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: season to play, so let's just do it. So I'm

480
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: not sure what the right approaches, but I can understand

481
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: this happening right now makes a lot of sense for

482
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: both parties, all right. The Walter Payton Man of the

483
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: Year nominees were announced for all thirty two teams today.

484
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: Justin Reid is the Texans nominee. Justin Reid he has

485
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: done a lot of stuff in the community. Back when

486
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: Hurricane Ida hit his home state of Louisiana, he gave

487
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: back to the community through drive through relief event at

488
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: a n RG stadium. So between Houstonians and Justin Reid

489
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: and his teammates, they raised more than ten thousand dollars,

490
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: filled two eighteen wheelers with donated items, and he earned

491
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: the nflpa's Week one Community MVP Award. But he also

492
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: has done a lot of work with some organizations here

493
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: throughout Houston, Kendall Lighters, Childhood Cancer Family Alliance. I believe

494
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: he's having a visit with them today and the Boys

495
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: and Girls Clubs of Greater Houston in Kids Meals which

496
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: he's done the dodgeball tournament, I think, and he won.

497
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: He won some money for kids, meals to do stuff

498
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: with candle lighters all the time. You used to, or

499
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: you want to used to all the time. I did

500
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: their annual event in May. I did their golf tournament

501
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: every year. But you know, I took on so much

502
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: extra stuff. And then I joined the board of directors

503
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 1: for Junior Achievement and obviously everything with the Houston Texans Foundation,

504
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: I just couldn't keep doing it. But that's a great organization.

505
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: And obviously every team nominates a guy right right, And

506
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: JJ Watt is the only Texan to ever win the

507
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: Walter Payton of the Year Award in twenty seventeen. That

508
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: was a slam dunk to give it to him. There

509
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: was a video out today Mike Davis running back for

510
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: the Falcons. This was moving to me. I you know,

511
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't care about the Falcons or whatever. Mike Davis,

512
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: but he played high school ball in the Atlanta area

513
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: and that his high school coach tell him, and I

514
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: guess they brought him there under different circumstances, like they say,

515
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what the premise was, but Mike Davis

516
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: was already getting emotional. Tell him to coach how much

517
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: he meant to him the coach, and then the coach says,

518
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: we'll have some news for you. You're the Walter Peyton man.

519
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: Wow the Falcons, and he's like, it's like crying your cry.

520
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: You know, it was really good, good video by the Falcons.

521
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't mind giving some credit where credit is due,

522
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: that isn't you know what. I feel like we're headed

523
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: in that direction where they're gonna it's a It's such

524
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: a big award, and I feel like it sort of

525
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: gets buried sometimes in the midst of football. But you know,

526
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: it's considered the league's most prestigious honor for outstanding community service.

527
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: But it's also for players that perform well on the

528
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: field as well. So I saw a couple of different

529
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: teams where they had a special guest to tell the player,

530
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: Like I think the Colts player they had to his

531
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: mom show up in studio, like their version of me Lara.

532
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: She was doing an interview and then all of a sudden,

533
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: the mom just walks onto set. So um, you know,

534
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: I think I think it's it's something to think about

535
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: for the future. How to surprise these colls justin Reid

536
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: on the video board. So that's pretty cool. The video

537
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: must be up by now, so I'll go check it out.

538
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: I've seen it. Yeah, I have not seen it. I

539
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: will have to check it out. Very nice. Yeah, so

540
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's out. And I think that they actually

541
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: select those right uh, right before the Super Bowl. That yes,

542
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: NFL Honors is going to be Thursday night. I believe

543
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: it used to be Saturday, but it would get buried

544
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: right on Saturday. So now Thursday night, go ahead and

545
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: put it in prime time. It was in prime time,

546
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: but Saturday night again it's kind of weekend whatever. But

547
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: now Thursday night going to get a great audience. Really

548
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: good way to do this. I remember the year that

549
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: JJ was Was that the year that JJ was Walter

550
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: Payton Man of the Year. No, I think J. I

551
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: think t J. Watt was up for Defensive Players of

552
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: the Years. What it was and JJ was hosting SNL

553
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: and it was the same night. Oh wow, and the

554
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: parents had to choose so this would not be an

555
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: issue this year. Oh wow. But also the year that

556
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: go to SNL. Sorry, this is we've gotten that defensive player.

557
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: We've been there before. That's that's not a sure thing,

558
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: whereas SDL is a sure thing. There Yeah, your older

559
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: brother wins again. Sorry about that? All right, Well, let's

560
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, let's take a

561
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a deeper dive into the Seattle Seahawks,

562
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: what the Texans have to prepare for for Sunday's game,

563
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: and then we will go around the league. Some Super

564
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: Bowl odds are already out. It's coming up. Texans, All axis,

565
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: don't go anywhere. Tex Sans TV takes over Saturday nights

566
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: catch extra points, followed by Texans three sixteen Saturday night

567
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: at ten thirty or after the late local news. Nobody

568
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: builds five G like Verizon builds five G because we're

569
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: the engineers who built the most reliable network in America.

570
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: And the more you do with five G, the more

571
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: building it right matters, the more you're netbord matters. The

572
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: more Verizon engineers going the extra mile matters. It's us

573
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: pushing us. It's Verizon versus Verizon. Five G built right

574
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: from America's most reliable network. Most reliable based on rankings

575

579
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: dot com. Welcome back to Texans All Access. It's Week fourteen.

580
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: The Texans are hosting the Seattle Seahawks. It's the third

581
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: home game and hopefully it's a win, because third home

582
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: game of this three game plas stretch, not third home

583
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: game of the year. It does feel like you guys

584
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: have been on the road an awful lot. I'm obviously

585
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: not traveling because I'm I'm here for all the games

586
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: doing the pregame show from inside of our studio. Yeah,

587
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: and it's been a weird year with traveling. The Colts

588
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: radio crew did not travel last week, that's right, positive,

589
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: so they did the game from back in Indie. We

590
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: helped them out with crowd noise. It's just been a

591
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: weird year. COVID still out there, is it? It's gonna be.

592
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like Mark, this is how

593
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. We're just gonna have variants forever and ever.

594
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: Variant this week, well, even Faucci was saying this shouldn't

595
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: be that big a deal. Well, but when it comes out,

596
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: it seems like a big deal until it's not a

597
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: big deal. Where the media gets me really upset the

598
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: media because they want clicks. So it's like the deadly

599
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: vary Wait a minute, hang on, you know, or look,

600
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: I get it, Delta deadly. I understand that, but it's

601
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: some of the adjectives and adverbs they use are just

602
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: for clicks. Sometimes everybody needs information on the pandemic. I

603
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: understand that. But if you didn't know, if you didn't

604
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: see what Faucci himself all right said about this variant,

605
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: you might think, oh my gosh, this is gonna overtake

606
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: us all like we're all doomed. Now there might be

607
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: another one out there after it that they named something

608
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: else that's even way worse than delta. So we were

609
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: gonna go Greek alphabet letters. This has really thrown me off.

610
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: We've gone delta. I thought we were gonna go Gamma,

611
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go all the way down like like

612
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: a bunch of fraternity sorority lavarians. Let's start with pet

613
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: names next, Okay, Rover, uh, is it going to be

614
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: like the hurricanes and the tropical storms where we just

615
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: go in alphabetical order to run out of stuff. They're

616
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: all over the place with this stuff. Unless omicron is

617
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: some sort of Greek letter that I don't know about.

618
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: But I sure did take a lot of math classes

619
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: and that's how I learned. All. Well, they were gonna

620
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: do new but it was that was no good. And

621
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: you right, I don't know, it might be it might be.

622
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: I'll find out very quickly here. Um, Yeahicron and omega

623
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: represent the mid back rounded vowel. Okay, and Greek. Oh well, okay,

624
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: so there it is. So omicron is different from oma. Yeah,

625
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: I guess. So look, I don't know. I'm the wrong

626
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: guy to ask, and I wasn't in a fraternity either,

627
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: so far be it from me to criticize the naming

628
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: people because the sorority No, why okay, I didn't think

629
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: you were. No. This is from physics and math and engineering.

630
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: Everything was variable. All the variables were way less exciting

631
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: than be a sorority. Mark. You're like Lindsay Lohan and

632
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: mean girls mathletes. I was a mathlete, I was, I know,

633
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: but you know what, the debate team and being in

634
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: radio in high school did pay off for me. In

635
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: the end, she's in a movie on Netflix or something.

636
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: I think she's doing better and she's engaged or something.

637
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I read something a headline, and I

638
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: moved on, and you moved on. I'm not the big

639
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: gossip columnists type unless it's somebody, somebody I'm really interested in,

640
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: which is pretty much nobody. Because you also used to

641
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: fast forward Game of Thrones the theme song, which I thought,

642
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: that's like the best theme song. Well, I know what

643
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,239
Speaker 1: it is at least, and I did fast forward through

644
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: a lot of Game of Thrones, you know. I do

645
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: this in a lot of shows, like they're walking through

646
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: the woods building suspense. Look, I don't need to see that,

647
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: you know. With the music build up, I'm going to

648
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: zoom through this because you guys are just cheating now.

649
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: Didn't feel like writing more dialogue, so you need to

650
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: have this suspenseful build up. Give me the dialogue. I

651
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: want to see people talking, so I know what's happening.

652
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: I think anyone that's listening to this, if you want

653
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: to tweet at Mark at Texans Voice. I made him

654
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: watch Dazed and Confused, which is one of my all

655
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: time favorite movies and as someone who self professed rock fan,

656
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: you fast forwarded half that movie. Which was the beauty

657
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: of that movie was the soundtrack. You first of all,

658
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: you watched on a plane. It was one of our

659
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: flights from a game. And then you still and I

660
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: told you this is not going to do it justice.

661
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: The sound system on this plane is not going to

662
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: do and then you still fast forward it and you said,

663
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: it's okay. I know, my bad. I made need out.

664
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how I missed that movie. Some movies

665
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: that are main Matthew McConaughey's debut, is it afflecks debut

666
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: or one of his early to bee the one of

667
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: the London's. I want to say, Jason or Jeremy I

668
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: can't one of them was in it. It's loaded. It's loaded,

669
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: loaded with superstar Richmond High except later, all right, well somehow, somehow,

670
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: let's get back to the Seahawks bark like we like

671
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: me and you, I mean, we're we're this is this

672
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: is this is a show. It's Tangent Radio six ten.

673
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's like our um, it's like

674
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: our off season show that we started once upon a

675
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: time before COVID. And then then COVID hit. So I'm

676
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: sure the producers here were just more than nothing. It

677
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: was somebody already stole that. Actually it's already a thing,

678
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: all right. So the Seahawks, they are coming off a

679
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: three game losing streak, and you know, I spoke with it.

680
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: They beat the forty nine ers, that's what snapped their

681
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: three game losing streak. And and Russell Wilson, I have

682
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: to think that that the finger that he fractured back

683
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: in week five, and then remember he had surgery at

684
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: the pin and then he came back after like a month,

685
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: and they went to Geno Smith and they well that

686
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: he came back for the Packers game, which they were

687
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: shut out in that game, so maybe he wasn't ready.

688
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: Maybe now it's been a few games, and I watched

689
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: a big chunk of that game, and I thought, yeah,

690
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: we played a Seahawks, but that's later, or I got

691
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of opponents before that, so I didn't pay

692
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: attention the way I normally would. I was actually really

693
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: pulling for Gino because just because he's Gino, and I thought,

694
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be nice if Gino won some games? You know,

695
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: back weeks and weeks ago, when he was playing. Look,

696
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: this is the first visit for them since the game

697
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: and the play that changed everyone's lives in twenty thirteen.

698
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: And it was weird because they visited an O nine

699
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: and normally it would be another eight years. But since

700
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: the Texans were going west to San Diego because it

701
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: was San Diego the right the Chargers and Arizona, the

702
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: league said Seattle should play here and we'll flip flop.

703
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: So they came here, which is weird because do they

704
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: make those kind of exceptions a lot. I feel like

705
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: they used to do it more back then, and now

706
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: they just sort of stick to the rule. But I'm

707
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: surprised they did because West Coast teams go east all

708
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: the times, and they'll have these horrible years where if

709
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: you're playing like the NFC East or the AFC East,

710
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: which is every week, right, you might have to stay

711
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: at the Greenbrier, which would be nice. I know you

712
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't like it. But that Seattle game here in twenty thirteen,

713
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: the Texans were playing so well for so much of

714
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: that game, and then Russell Wilson has this incredible drive

715
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: where he runs around like Fran Tarkenton, Doug Flutie, Michael Vick,

716
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: whatever makes plays all over the place, gets the ball

717
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Now you're up only seven and

718
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: the Texans need to drive, and they drive. This is

719
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: a lot like the Rosencopter game in a different way.

720
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: It was a similar situation with Rosencopter because Rosencopter Manning

721
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: puts it in the end zone. You're up ten, right,

722
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: Sage is driving, tries to make up play, he gets rosencoptered.

723
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: Gary Brackett returns it for a touchdown. Now you're only

724
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: up three and Rosenvelle's fumbles again on the next possession,

725
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: and now they lead after Manning hits Reggie Wayne. I

726
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: think so Seattle, you're up seven driving, it's third and

727
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: four and we know what happened. Job throws up pick

728
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: six to Richard Sherman. Game tied, going to overtime. Lose.

729
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: That hurt a lot. How do you not have a

730
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: nickname for that game? Because that is that is the

731
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: game that you always point to for twenty thirteen is

732
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: the beginning of the end. And I nickname a lot

733
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: of games. You nickname a lot of games that one

734
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: justn't doesn't have. Now it has to be more exciting.

735
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: Name this isn't you need to think about. It's a

736
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 1: longer title. It's the game that changed everyone's lives because

737
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: from that moment the season spiral out of it led

738
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: to the dismissal of that entire coaching staff right the

739
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien regime began a year later. Uh Matt Schob's

740
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: career was never the same. He started a few more games, whatever,

741
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: but it was never the same. You know, it changed

742
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: everyone's lives so much. I feel like we hurt that

743
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: that was the game. Also, Brian Cushing had a concussion,

744
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: he got knocked out towards the end of the game,

745
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: and this Texans defense was really good against the run.

746
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: They Seattle wasn't really able to run the ball really well.

747
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: And I felt like as soon as Cushing left the game,

748
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: it just opened up. It just opened up a hole

749
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field there, and I felt

750
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: like that also changed it. Now, it doesn't change the

751
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: fact that Shaw would have probably still thrown a pick six,

752
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 1: but I felt like on defense they really missed Cushing

753
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: and he ended up tearing his acl later on that

754
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: year again against the City the Al Yeah, Jal Charles, Yes, Yes,

755
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: the play with the Richard Sherman. Pick six was a

756
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: third and four, and a lot of the people from

757
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: the outside looking in said, you should have run arian four.

758
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's four is a pretty big clip. I'm sure.

759
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure pick six would have happened on the next time.

760
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: Maybe it just seemed like that was the year, right,

761
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: because that was the third pick six in a row,

762
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: and then was San Francisco the few weeks next week

763
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: was it the very next week or the Rams? We

764
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: didn't want to say it was the next week because

765
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: the Rams game was where Shob got hurt and was

766
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: replaced by Yates. But then the following week, week seven,

767
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: they started Keenom against the Chiefs on the road, right,

768
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: and Chiefs were undefeated, and that was actually a close game.

769
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: The weird thing about the twenty thirteen season is if

770
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: you go back and you look at the scores, they

771
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: were all pretty close. A lot of close games. Yeah,

772
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: with the exception of the San Francisco game and maybe

773
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: a one. That one was a horrendous one, and I'll

774
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: say that was the worst loss of twenty thirteen. Yeah,

775
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: considering the talent on that Texans team, that's one of

776
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: the worst. That's way worse than any loss this year, folks,

777
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: because it was also on prime time, Prime Time Sundata

778
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: Al Michael's you know, and then you do that it

779
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: was awful. First play the game was to pick six.

780
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot like this Colts game. It

781
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: does it does remind you because the first Tyrod's first

782
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: pass picked off, Oh my god, and then the second drive.

783
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: Even Pharaoh talked about the Farrell Brown fumble like that.

784
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: Those are things that you know, you just a horrible

785
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: way to start a game. But that was I think

786
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: equally bad that forty nine Ers game that started that

787
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: game being a pick six and and it being on primetime.

788
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: Like when a game starts like that, it's just it

789
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: just that that just to me, Like, I know, you

790
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: think the Jets loss was worse, but this there was

791
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 1: never really anything to be positive about in this game.

792
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, you know, just when when it starts like that, Yeah,

793
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: when it starts like that. It was tough that way.

794
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: And I feel bad for Tyrod Taylor because I just

795
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: felt like he's not himself. He doesn't turn the ball over,

796
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: he's a low turnover guy historically, and here he has

797
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: five picks in six games played, for the Texans. It's

798
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 1: just weird. I felt like Andre made a good point

799
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: on the broadcast that he was seeing the rush and

800
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: so maybe he was hurrying a little bit and he

801
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: was sort of, you know, pressing, or maybe he the

802
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: head tipped down. Yes, that's what he said. He's looking

803
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: for the rush or at the rush or whatever, which

804
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: is what I would be doing. I'd be like we

805
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: always coming, Yes, And that was I thought that was

806
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: pretty insightful on his part to notice that's what he

807
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,479
Speaker 1: because he did look not look like himself. He looked

808
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,479
Speaker 1: like how he looked in that Miami game. Yeah, didn't

809
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 1: look right. Did nothing was weird and it's too bad.

810
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,799

00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: you watch any of that Patriots game? Patriots bill? I

837
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: just the weather. I just looked so freezing cold. I

838
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: could not believe. There are the bills with ten men

839
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: in the box and the Patriots are still running it

840
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: down their throat, and I thought, this is a nightmare.

841
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: This is a nightmare Bill Belichick. Look, I can't call

842
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: him a genius. He just ran the ball a lot

843
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: and it worked, and it worked. That's just being smart.

844
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: That's not genius. That's just saying, well, you can't stop it.

845
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: So I guess I'm just gonna choose this. But you

846
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: know what, No, but it's it's even more than that,

847
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: because I think any team could have gone out there

848
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: and be like, you know what, the wind is too much,

849
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: We're just going to run the ball. But then if

850
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: you can't run the ball, it's three out, three out,

851
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: three out. But not only would they make a plan

852
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: of we're only going to run the ball, that's all

853
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: they have to defend against, they were able to do

854
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: it successfully. And I thought Josh Allen Wyom, Josh with

855
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: that lazy arm, was going to be able to slice

856
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: through the wind, and he did a lot of the

857
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: night Boy early on. Patriots didn't attempt that field goal, right,

858
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean the extra point. They went for two and

859
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: they got it, and that was the difference in the

860
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: game because late in the game, the Bills would be

861
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: kicking the ball for a tie, right, But if they'd

862
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: missed it, well, that would they would have been. But

863
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: they definitely would have kicked it there. They were on

864
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: fourth down and whatever and they had to go for it.

865
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: So I just felt like and early there, earlier they

866
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: would have kicked it as well. So I just felt

867
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: like it was their night. And I cannot believe the

868
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: Patriots rule that division once again, rull that division top

869
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: seed in the AFC East, but I mean in the AFC.

870
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: But as we pointed out earlier, a nine and four

871
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: record is not this Juggernauts type of record. I think

872
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: that they can be threatened. You know, different teams have

873
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: gotten hot at different times this year in the AFC.

874
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: We got a long way to go. It's not over yet,

875
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: but man, they're doing well. And Mac Jones, rooky quarterback.

876
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: Belichick's Coach of the Year right now. If you had

877
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: to give the award out right now, it's either he

878
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: or Cliff Kingsbury. So that's pretty impressive right there, that

879
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: Belichick could actually be up for the award after everything did.

880
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: He looked so happy after the win. I think that

881
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: might have been his Someone said that might be his

882
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: favorite win of the regular season, but maybe after the

883
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: season they've had, and they were one and three when

884
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: they came here, and they really did turn their season around.

885
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: After the game, he was asked about the wind and

886
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: he said that the Patriots played in quote way way

887
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: worse ye windy situations in two thousand and eight when

888
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: they played They told us about that, and they had

889
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: Matt Castle at quarterback. Oh yes, yeah, and they obviously

890
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: he was on the trip and they were able to

891
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: win that game. So the number the numbers. The Patriots

892
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: ran the ball forty seven times in two thousand and

893
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: eight and passed it eight times. They won thirteen to zero.

894
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: So on Monday night, they ran the ball forty six times,

895
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: just one time fewer passed three times, and they won

896
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: fourteen to ten. So he basically just pulled out his

897
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: game in from two thousand and eight with a completely

898
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: different team. Yeah, but they played great defense too. Their

899
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: defense is really stepped up the Bills. It's hard for

900
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: me to feel bad for other teams, especially with what

901
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: the Texans are going through right now, but I kind

902
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: of feel bad for them a little bit. We were

903
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: they thought they thought this was going to be the

904
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: year to there walk through the AFC East Johnny's friends

905
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: with their sideline reporter Sal Carpaccio. We went out with

906
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: him and his buddies and we ran into Eric Molds,

907
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: who formed Bills Great but Texans receiver for a cup

908
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: of coffee and a little extra and a croissant. But

909
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: so we kind of feel it's not connection. But you know,

910
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: we are just up there and to see them go

911
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: through that. They thought this was their year. Now it

912
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: still might be again. They can get on a roll

913
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: from here, but it just doesn't look like it's happening

914
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: right now. All right, So Mark the Buck's Patriots super

915
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: Bowl is now the most likely matchup according to ESPN's

916
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: index ten percent chance, which doesn't sound like a lot,

917
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: but they're the most heavily favored gotch. I mean what

918
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: I think the rate that would be a ratings bonanza.

919
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,439
Speaker 1: It would be Belichick versus Brady, and those two teams

920
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 1: already played each other, and they played each other pretty closely.

921
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: Considering they did they did. To see a rematch in

922
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I don't want to see it. Look,

923
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: Texans aren't eligible, So who would I pull for to

924
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: make you the super Bowl. No, I don't want to

925
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: see the Patriots in there. Never any circumstances. I mean

926
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: the game. I might want to see maybe Arizona versus somebody,

927
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: but nobody's playing great. I don't want to see Kansas

928
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: City again. They're coming like the Patriots to me, like,

929
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: because they're starting to get it going too. If you

930
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: give us a boring super Bowl, I don't want to

931
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: see you in the super Bowl again. So yeah, I

932
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: don't want to see the boring I don't want to

933
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: want to see a boring super Bowl. I don't want

934
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: to see Mac Jones and Bill Belichick in the Super Bowl,

935
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: believe me. As far as the Chiefs go, though, if

936
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: they can get it rebbed up offensively again, their defenses

937
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: started to play really well. Offensively, they're not playing really well,

938
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: but hey, defense points per game a lot. I think

939
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: it's I think they're first in the league in the

940
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: last four games or something like that. They're right up there.

941
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: I knew that that they would turn things around. They

942
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: where everybody was counting you to read out. These these

943
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: coaches that are veteran coaches. It seems like they're they

944
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 1: sort of spend the first part of the season trying

945
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: to figure out what's going to work, and then they

946
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: get on a role. Then they get on those role.

947
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: All right, well that's gonna do it for Texans Alaxis.

948
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: But John Harris is on a role with Texans Replay.

949
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: He's working on it every single he No, he should

950
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: win a Marconi because some of these games, you know,

951
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,719
