We'll 12 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 2: get to that in a little bit. We're gonna hear 13 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: from a guy that I caught up with a Big 14 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: Twelve Media Days. If you followed college you follow college football, 15 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: you know Bruce Feldman from the Athletic I caught up 16 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: caught up with him at Big twelve Media Days, and 17 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: this is kind of longer story. I'll tell him bit later, 18 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: but in essence, I was kind of going through some 19 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: of my files and I found that I went, wait 20 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: a second, I'd like to play this. This was back 21 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: in August before camp started, and he was on the CJ. 22 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: Stroud train more than anybody that I met, and more 23 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: than anybody that talk to. So we'll have Bruce Feldman's thoughts, 24 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: how I mean, how were they back in late July, 25 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: mid July actually, and what CJ. Strott has turned into. 26 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: So we got that we're gonna go man behind the 27 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 2: Mike's with Bob was shoosing. We got that we're gonna 28 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 2: go behind enemy sidelines with Drew Doherty and he does 29 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: that with Caroline Hendershot who is the side of the 30 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: reporter and covers the Jets for one Jets Drive and 31 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: will also go in the lab. But each and every 32 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,279 Speaker 2: Wednesday we kick it off with Executive vice president Football 33 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: Ops and general Manager Nick Cassario with me and Mark. 34 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 3: Let's go, and it's time now for our visit with 35 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 3: executive vice president and general Manager Nick Cassario. Nick, great 36 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 3: to see you, and here we are on our way 37 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: to New York. But first a review of the victory 38 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 3: over the Denver Broncos. 39 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 4: Another nail bitter, Nick, Yeah, what is it? 40 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 5: Eight of the last games and then one score game. 41 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 5: So the big thing just found a way to finish 42 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 5: the game. Good execution defensively there in the end, took 43 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 5: advantage of some turnover opportunities and Jimmy made the play 44 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 5: there at the end of the game. So situational football 45 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 5: really all encompassed right there. So two minutes and then 46 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 5: you get the ball into the red area kind of 47 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 5: in the game, and really usually games will come down 48 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 5: to one play. We've seen that in a lot of 49 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 5: our games. We've seen that in other games around the 50 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 5: league as well. We saw it last you know, the 51 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 5: other day with the Jacksonville Cincinnati game. So this is 52 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 5: what the what the league is. So you just want 53 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 5: to give put yourself in a position we have an 54 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 5: opportunity to win the game, hopefully, and if you can 55 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 5: control in the fourth quarter, that's the that's the main objective. 56 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: We're the only AFC South team to finish a game 57 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 2: in regulation. 58 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: How about that? 59 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 2: The Tights, Colts overtime, Jags went overtime, nicke along those lines. 60 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: What's the thing you're most proud of in getting the win? 61 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 2: I mean, you talked about a couple of key things, 62 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: But what's the one thing you took out of there 63 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: and went, you know what, dang it, we did this 64 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: against this team. 65 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: What's the thing you're most proud of get that winnings? 66 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, we finished a big point of emphasis against Denver, 67 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 5: where they had taken the ball away as good as 68 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 5: any team in the league over the last four to 69 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 5: five games. So the fact that we didn't turn the 70 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 5: ball over. They knocked it off us a few times, 71 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 5: but we were able to get it back, but we 72 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 5: had the advantage turnover wise. We had three takeaways, no 73 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 5: turnovers on offense. I'd say it's a huge accomplishment. It's 74 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 5: a huge point of emphasis going into every game. Players 75 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 5: were certainly conscious of it, and they took advantage of 76 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 5: the opportunities we had them. So I'd say that the 77 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 5: ability to take care of the football offensively. We talked 78 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 5: about some of the explosive plays we talked about in 79 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 5: the pre game on both sides of the ball. We 80 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 5: gave a few up but limited them for the most part. 81 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 5: We were able to make some offensively. Just to finish 82 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 5: the game the way we did, I'd say that's more 83 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 5: than anything. I think everybody is certainly happy and proud 84 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 5: of what the team accomplished. 85 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: And how about adversity within the game, losing Tank Dell, 86 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: which was a big blow not only to the game plan, 87 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: I would imagine, but the guys love Tank Dell. And 88 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: everything he brings the table on and off the field. 89 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, we all love Tank and think Tank is the 90 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 5: ultimate embodyment. We want a Houston textan football player to 91 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 5: look like, to be like the way he cares about football, 92 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 5: his competitiveness, his toughness, his team first mindset, mentality, and 93 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 5: he's a good football player. So when you factor all 94 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 5: those things, he's got a great personality. He's a great kid. 95 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 5: You know, we all love him, wish him well in 96 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 5: his recovery, and we're going to be here to support 97 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 5: him like we would anybody else. 98 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: Nick Nico nine catches hundred and ninety one yards one touchdown. 99 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: We've really seen him kind of blossom this year. 100 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: What's been kind of biggest aspect for Nico that really 101 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: has kind of set him on a course that he's 102 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: on this year. 103 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: Yeah. 104 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 5: Really, the big thing is just consistency and confidence, just 105 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 5: in self confidence more than anything else. And from the 106 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 5: time that we drafted him to where he is now, 107 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 5: he's putting a lot of work. He's really grown and 108 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 5: developed physically mentally from a churity standpoint. When you go 109 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 5: back and kind of look at his history, he didn't 110 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 5: play football in twenty twenty he sat out the year, 111 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 5: so he basically missed a year of football. Then he 112 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 5: went to the Senior Bowl. He was probably a little 113 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 5: bit overweight, a little bigger. Then we took him in 114 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 5: twenty one. Saw some glimpses, saw some flashes, and that 115 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 5: continued to twenty two. He really worked hard in the offseason, 116 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 5: very diligent with his approach taking is able to take 117 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 5: some of the things that we showed him. Here's some 118 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 5: areas that you can improve. Ben's done a phenomenal job 119 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 5: with him from start to finish, and Nico has really 120 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 5: committed himself to being a good football player. And then 121 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 5: he's going out there and he's performed and made plays. 122 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 5: Anytime you do that, you develop confidence. And I think 123 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 5: the biggest difference with him probably this year relative to 124 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 5: previous years is what he's been able to do with 125 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 5: the ball in his hands. 126 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 6: I mean, he's a big, strong player. 127 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 5: Sometimes he didn't always play to his size, but he's 128 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 5: played more to his size and when he has the 129 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 5: ball in his hands, he's difficult to tackle. We saw 130 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 5: that in the end a half play against Jacksonville. We 131 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 5: saw it here in the long completion here the other 132 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 5: day when he broke a tackler too and was able 133 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 5: to gain extra yard. So we talk about game of 134 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 5: yards after the catch, and you've seen multiple examples of 135 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 5: that from Nico this season. But Nico's a great kid 136 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 5: and works really hard, cares a lot about football, is 137 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 5: a good teammate. 138 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 6: So we're certainly happy that he's here. 139 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 3: He's part of your first draft class here and the 140 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 3: latest draft class doing some really great things. Nick, But 141 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 3: Jimmy Ward comes up with a big play at the 142 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: end as well. And can you discuss the way this 143 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 3: whole thing has been put together in the offseason. So 144 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: many young players, but you did sprinkle in those key 145 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: free agent acquisitions, those veterans who are really helping the 146 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 3: team as well. 147 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: It's a good mix. 148 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 6: Well, appreciate that. 149 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 5: I mean, we've put a lot of time, a lot 150 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 5: of effort from a lot of different people. But I 151 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 5: think we're very purposeful with how we constructed the team. 152 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 5: Understanding there's any end you want to probably have a 153 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 5: balance between younger players and some veteran players that come 154 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 5: from winning programs. Specific to Jimmy, Jimmy's Butcher brought tremendous 155 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 5: leadership and toughness and personalities football team, and a lot 156 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 5: of players feed off of him. So there's the team 157 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 5: building is not an exact science. So you understand each 158 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 5: year you're gonna probably draft X number of players, so 159 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 5: you're gonna have a certain number of younger players that 160 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 5: come on to your team. 161 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 6: We've talked about this. 162 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 5: You're probably gonna have twenty five thirty percent of the 163 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 5: existing team that turns over players who aren't under contract. 164 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 5: Players are gonna be for agents, so you're gonna have 165 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 5: to replace them. So we've talked about this. There's it's 166 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 5: like a little bit of a puzzle and you're trying 167 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 5: to piece it together. It doesn't always work perfectly, but 168 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 5: you're trying to get some balance of younger players and 169 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 5: some veteran players that have some experience. I've been associated 170 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 5: winning programs because they have an understanding of what good 171 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 5: football looks like and what it takes to be successful. 172 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 5: And then you compliment that or bring in younger players 173 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 5: that have the same mindset, and you put that together, 174 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 5: and in the end, it's about the players, and it's 175 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 5: about them relying on each other on a consistent basis, 176 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 5: because in the end, it's eleven players on offense, eleven 177 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 5: on defense, and they have each other. They don't really 178 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 5: have anybody else on the field. 179 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: Nick, I'm always enamored when the concept in the talk 180 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: of Derek Stingley Junior comes up, because you can look 181 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: at sting and go, that's what a defensive back, a 182 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: cornerback of this league is supposed to look like. I mean, 183 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: he's got every physical attribute, but it feels like his 184 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: football knowledge is football like he was pretty darn high 185 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: as well. How when you're evaluating not just sting but 186 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: every player, how do you kind of get a sense 187 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 2: for how football intelligent a prospect, a draft pick is. 188 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 5: No, it's a great question, John, It's difficult, And what 189 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 5: you have to do is you have to combine what 190 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 5: you see physically on tape, how a player plays, does 191 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 5: he see things, does he process information? Is he in 192 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 5: the right spots? Does he make the right decision? And 193 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 5: then as you gather your background information about how the 194 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 5: player learns, how he applies concepts, how does he study, 195 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 5: what's his work ethic, then you try to have to 196 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 5: marry the two together and to come to conclusion to say, well, 197 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 5: this is what we think we have. So a lot 198 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 5: of that goes on behind the scenes, and it's very 199 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 5: individualized in certain positions and everybody has a different personality. 200 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 5: Some players learn better than others. But do you understand concepts? 201 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 5: Do you defensive? Do you understand how you fit within 202 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 5: the defense? You understand what the offense is trying to do? 203 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 5: Are you in the right spot? Can you react to 204 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 5: what you see? Defense is a very reactionary I would 205 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 5: say game, So you have to be able to anticipate 206 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 5: what's going to happen. So sometimes you don't know what 207 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 5: they're being told or what they're being coached to do. 208 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 5: So part of our job is to interpret that and 209 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 5: then go back and say, okay, that makes sense, all right? 210 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 5: So then do they have an appetite for learning? Are 211 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 5: they coachable and they're going to take concepts and be 212 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 5: able to apply them on a regular basis. So that's 213 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 5: where a lot of the off season study goes into 214 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 5: and what we try to gather as much information as 215 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 5: possible and make an assessment about what we think the 216 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 5: player possesses. 217 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: It has to be the most zen satisfying moment ever 218 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 3: to have your third overall pick tip a ball that 219 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 3: the third overall pick from last year intercepts and intercepts. 220 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how you're going to respond to that. 221 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 7: Than anything else, but that was pretty. 222 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 4: Awesome to see. I feel like Chris Farley right now. 223 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: That was also. 224 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it was two good football players making say, 225 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 5: two instinctive plays. I think from Will's perspective, it was 226 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 5: a three step drop, so probably not going to be 227 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 5: able to get to the quarterback. So what's the next 228 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 5: thing you're thought to do is try to get your 229 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 5: hands in the passing lane to try to deflect or 230 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 5: alter the ball. And he just so happened to get 231 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 5: his hand in the football and Sting was able to 232 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 5: really make an adjustment to a ball back to his 233 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 5: inside he he was driving on an outcut, probably gonna 234 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 5: come up and make the tackle, you know, and make 235 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 5: it second in four whatever it was. And then the 236 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 5: ability to react and to split second to the trajectory 237 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 5: of the ball that that wasn't really an easy catch 238 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 5: to make. So it just speaks to, let'd say, kind 239 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 5: of like we just talked about, like their level of 240 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 5: awareness and instinctiveness, and then combine that with stings ball 241 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 5: skills and finish the play, and that ended up being 242 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 5: really a big play in a game because it was 243 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 5: a short field and points are at premium, especially. 244 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 6: In that game. 245 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, remember when you drafted him. That was awesome, That 246 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 2: was really cool. Yeah, Chris Farley here would have done 247 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 2: that something like that. All right, sleep Broncos behind. 248 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: It's good. 249 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: Win seven to five games in December. You got a 250 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 2: lot of big ones coming up. Biggest one obviously is 251 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: the next one. That's the New York Jets in New Jersey. Nick, 252 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: it's a really interesting team when you just look at 253 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 2: everything goes on. 254 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about the Jets? What's the scattering 255 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: important of the Jets? 256 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a really a lot of good football players 257 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 5: lettered throughout the roster. I mean, Joe and Robert have 258 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 5: done a good job of adding players of the team. 259 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 5: The strength of their team has been on the defensive 260 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 5: side of the ball. So they're one of the top 261 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 5: defenses that we're going to face. They're very good in 262 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 5: the front. They really go eight to nine deep in 263 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 5: the front with two really good linebackers, and c J. 264 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 5: And Quincy are outstanding players. They're really complimenting so other 265 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 5: very well. They're kind of a nickel defense, so they've 266 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 5: used some three safety looks depending if it's Ashton Davis, 267 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 5: they've used him kind of in the big nickel, and 268 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 5: then Michael Carter has really been the slock corner. And 269 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 5: then you know Sauce has obviously made a big impact 270 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 5: on their team. And then really they they drafted Sauce 271 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 5: the same as their drafted Sauce. They signed DJ Read 272 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 5: and free agency and those have really strengthened solidified what 273 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 5: they do in a promoter defense and at safety they've 274 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 5: had some moving parts, but Whitehead has really emerged and 275 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 5: done a nice job for them, and Adams is kind 276 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 5: of in the job. But they put a lot of 277 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 5: stress and they really tax you offensively. It's a you know, 278 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 5: Wincey's brother Q, Big Q is a problem money inside part. 279 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 5: I mean Quentina Williams is good at defensive I'd say 280 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 5: lineman defensive players. 281 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 6: In the league. 282 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 5: And then they really roll the edge players through, so 283 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 5: they present a lot. I think they're I don't know, 284 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 5: top ten in a number of different categories. 285 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 6: They're good in the red area. 286 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 5: So they've been a good defensive team and they've been 287 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 5: in seven to one score games when you go back 288 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 5: and see so they've been a competitive team, and offensively 289 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 5: you really have I would say two explosive playmakers in 290 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 5: Wilson and Breeze Hall. So anytime that they touch the ball, 291 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 5: they can be a problem. They can be a factor. 292 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 5: So they've had some moving parts of quarterback and going 293 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 5: back to Aaron and what happened to him, and then 294 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 5: Zach has had his moment. Zachs as a talented player. 295 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 5: He's skilled thrower. He had a couple throws in a 296 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 5: Raider game that really made you go, WHOA, this kid's 297 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 5: pretty talented. I think they're just looking for overall consistency 298 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 5: and what they're trying to do. So and in a 299 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 5: kicking game, they've done a good job. Zerolines kicked the 300 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 5: ball well. Gibson, they've gotten good return a lot of 301 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 5: Gibson steven f kids. So I mean it's a good 302 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 5: football team, a lot of talented players, and they've been 303 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 5: in seven to one score games. So we're gonna have 304 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 5: to play good football when it will come out with 305 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 5: the W It's going to certainly be a big challenge 306 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 5: on the road. There's probably gonna be some elements potentially, 307 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 5: it looks like with the weather. So we just have 308 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 5: to prepare, try to have a good week and go 309 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 5: up there with the right mindset and try to get 310 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 5: a good you know, get a good win against good 311 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 5: football team. 312 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: Well, Johnny mentioned big games here. We are well after 313 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving now into December and down the stretch they come. 314 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: Do games to you when you're reviewing them on tape 315 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: look different this time of year in intensity from say 316 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: a game in September, because it feels different, But is 317 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 3: it different as you view things? 318 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 5: Generally speaking, it's just an overall greater sense of the 319 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 5: urgency because everybody kind of realizes what's at stake. You 320 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 5: have less opportunities. We have five regular season games remaining, 321 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 5: and if you're in a position at this time of year, 322 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 5: you're just trying to give yourself an opportunity in the 323 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 5: next week to play and play in a more meaningful game. 324 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 5: So I think there's heightened awareness, there's heightened level of 325 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 5: just overall urgency, just understanding that the clock is ticking 326 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 5: here and potentially you know you're going to run out 327 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 5: of time. So I think the key is just to 328 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 5: focus on the task in hand, which is the Jets 329 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 5: this week. Try to have a good week, try to prepare, 330 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 5: try to get ready to go and then whatever the 331 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 5: outcome is the game, be ready to flip the page 332 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 5: and go to the next team. But this time of year, 333 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 5: when you're playing meaningful games in September, it's certainly where 334 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 5: you want to be. It doesn't guarantee you anything, because 335 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 5: ultimately how you perform is going to dictate whatever you 336 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 5: get in return. 337 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 2: Nick, you brought up the quarterback situation. Don't think we'ressy 338 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. But now there's well it's Tim Boyle's Zach Wilson. 339 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 2: How really does that affect the preparation in the fact 340 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: that you're not totally one hundred percent sure. 341 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: Maybe they're not sure. I don't know about who's gonna 342 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: play quarterback. 343 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you have to understand just generally schematically, 344 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 5: how they've tried to play, whether it's some of the 345 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 5: things that you're trying to emphasize, and then goes back 346 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 5: to the individual players. What are some of the strengths, 347 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 5: what do they do well, and they may try to 348 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 5: play a certain way to cater to the strengths of 349 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 5: whoever those players are. So even at the running back position, 350 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 5: I mean there's been talk potentially Dalvin might have a 351 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 5: more increased role. But there you're talking about a guy 352 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 5: who's been an habitual thousand yard rusher, so who's good 353 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 5: with the ball in his hands. So you prepare for 354 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 5: this scheme, you understand what they're trying to do, and 355 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 5: then you also understand the players, so when they get 356 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 5: in the game, you have an idea maybe how they're 357 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 5: going to use them, and maybe they're some specific to 358 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 5: that player, which we saw that even going back to 359 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 5: Denver with McLoughlin. When McLoughlin was in the game, there's 360 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 5: certain things that they ran with him that they necessarily 361 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 5: didn't run with Javante. So that's part of the EBB 362 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 5: and flow, just understanding your opponent and understanding the strengths 363 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 5: and weaknesses of each player. 364 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 3: Back to this time of year kind of thing with 365 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 3: the players and the sports science guys that you have 366 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 3: and the way you evaluate how players' bodies are this 367 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 3: time of year, can you say something about that and 368 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 3: what you observe and how you take care of those things. 369 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 5: No, absolutely, i'd say this time of year say, I 370 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 5: don't want to say it's becomes critically important, but what 371 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 5: you're trying to do is making sure that on Sunday 372 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 5: you have a fresh football team. So what does the 373 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 5: information tell us? Do we have to make an adjustment 374 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 5: and modification of practice? Then there might be an application 375 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 5: of that. So whatever we have to do to ensure 376 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 5: the player's optimum performance on Sunday, that's where that resource 377 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 5: can become valuable. So we meet each day, they give 378 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 5: us the information. Each day they give it to Demiko 379 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 5: and then Demico can take the information and figure out 380 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 5: what's the best thing for the players. What do we 381 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 5: have to do to get the player of the game. 382 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 5: So when you go out there on Sunday, it's a 383 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 5: very taxing what they do on Sundays is very taxing, 384 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 5: and the ability to recover it takes I mean forty 385 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 5: eight hours typically to recover. So what do we have 386 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 5: to do to put the players in the best position 387 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 5: like this time of year, that's the most important thing, Nick. 388 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: I think last week we may have missed the announcement 389 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: by a day or so, and that was Derek Barnett 390 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: and claiming him waivers and bringing him here to the roster. 391 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: What was kind of you thought about. 392 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: Bringing Derek and twenty seven years old, but you know 393 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: has had some injury issues, and then obviously the Eagles 394 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 2: have got a loaded edge area and so he's available. 395 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: Your thoughts about Derek Barnett. 396 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, even though he's a younger player like you, he 397 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 5: has a lot of experience, so has played in a 398 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 5: similar front, had a little bit of a background with 399 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 5: coach Burke, so some of the things that we were 400 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 5: doing defensively, so as we looked at our depth, you know, 401 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 5: just kind of reacting to you know, what happened to 402 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 5: Dylan Horton in his situation. So this time of year, 403 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 5: you're just looking if there's an opportunity to add a player, 404 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 5: then potentially you could plug in in some capacity or role. 405 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 5: So I'd say that was the impetus behind the acquisition, 406 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 5: that Derek wanted anything else. And Derek's been productive when 407 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 5: he's had opportunities. His playtime, to your point, had been 408 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 5: decreased a little bit in Philly because they have a 409 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 5: lot of other players that they're utilizing. So it was 410 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 5: kind of a worked out for both parties. They let 411 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 5: him go, we were able to put in the claim 412 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 5: for him, and he played fifteen snaps or whatever it 413 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 5: was on Sunday, So we'll see how it goes this week. 414 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 3: Well, the tight end position is so interesting because earlier 415 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 3: in the season you at Dalton Schultz and Tiguan Vitoriano 416 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 3: and then there you are playing the Denver Broncos in 417 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: a huge game. You got Brevin back from injury. I 418 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 3: know he's been back Eric Sobert who was playing for 419 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 3: the Broncos against the Texans last year. 420 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: That's the NFL for you. 421 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 3: But what about the tight end position, Nick and Brevin 422 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 3: specifically what he can do for the team. 423 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, Brevin's really had a good attitude. He's dealt with 424 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 5: some ups and downs. So he's been County in and 425 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 5: out of the lineup, and he's had some injuries that 426 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 5: have curtailed some of his progress. But he cares a 427 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 5: lot about football. He worked really hard, and I think 428 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 5: you're starting to see some of his work kind of 429 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 5: come to fruition and to be able to go out 430 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 5: there and have some production. It develops a little bit 431 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 5: of kind of like we're talking about with Nico. He's 432 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 5: just developed a bit of confidence in your ability to 433 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 5: actually do it and help the team. So when Brevin's 434 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 5: had opportunities, he's taken advantage of them. We saw that 435 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 5: earlier in the year against Jacksonville and you know, even 436 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 5: we had a touchdown Cats against Blood zero. So when 437 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 5: Brevin's been on the field, he's had productive plays. The 438 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 5: big thing with Brevin is just doing it consistently week 439 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 5: after week, day after day. And he was able to 440 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 5: come through and make some plays for us that helped 441 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 5: us one on Sunday. There's no question about it. 442 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 2: Niggas might be an odd question, but I happen to 443 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: see a transaction for the Jets the other day that 444 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 2: caught my eye, and it was they signed Bruce Hector 445 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 2: to their practice squad. So's the guy that had been 446 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 2: here for a few days has been here for weeks 447 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 2: or whatever the case might be. I guess the question 448 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 2: is how do you kind of protect your like proprietary 449 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 2: like stuff. 450 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a twenty thousand dollars question. I think every 451 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 5: team has to deal with it. So this time of year, 452 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 5: you're really dealing week to week and it's a little 453 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 5: bit more opponent specific. So you have a core of 454 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 5: what you've kind of installed in the spring and training camp. 455 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 5: So the reality is you have players at switch teams, 456 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 5: you have coaches at switch teams. You might have a 457 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 5: general understanding maybe some of the principles and concepts, but 458 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 5: ultimately it comes down to the performance on the field. 459 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 5: So I think sometimes probably gets a little bit overrated 460 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 5: the impact that it actually could have. But I think 461 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 5: more than anything, hits familiarity with the system in their front. 462 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 5: He's been on and off their roster at different points 463 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 5: as well, so I think it just speaks to their 464 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 5: depth on the defensive line. Just add another body that 465 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 5: potentially could give them some snaps in a specific role. 466 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 3: All Right, some New York questions here, Nick, it's a 467 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 3: big game for the traveling Texans, big groups going up there. 468 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 6: Where to go? 469 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 4: What are the hotspots? 470 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 2: Nick? 471 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 4: Clubbing? But what about have you ever been to a 472 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 4: Broadway show? 473 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: For instance? Yes, yes, I have. 474 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 4: My wife and I went what did we go see? 475 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: Yes, we have been. 476 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 5: We made a we'd actually try to make a trip 477 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 5: or two to Times Square and go watch a show 478 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 5: good and then wrap a meal around it. I do 479 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 5: have a life. People find that hard to believe, but yeah, no, 480 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 5: it was a lot of fun when we were dating, 481 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 5: when we were in early stages of our relationship, kind 482 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 5: of something that was that was fun to do. 483 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to ask this because I know that 484 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 2: Sean Pendergas is listening. So I'm gonna ask, have you 485 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: ever gone to a wrestling event Madison Square Garden or 486 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 2: in New York? 487 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 6: I have not. 488 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 5: I have been to a wrestling match in Cleveland when 489 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 5: I was at John Carroll I think at the time 490 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 5: it was Goundarina, but I have attended not in New York. 491 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 2: Sean hearing this is going to take you to an event. 492 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 2: I guarantee you He's going to make this happen. 493 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 4: Maybe not Saturday night, that's all. I'm not Saturday Night. 494 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 3: And when you mentioned Sean, I thought maybe you were 495 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 3: going to go Sopranos.

But because we did 514 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 2: it on Tuesday, we didn't get a chance to ask 515 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: him about big news coming out of the Big Apple. 516 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 3: What's new Jersey? If New York is the big Apple, 517 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 3: what's new Jersey? Look my thoughts. I grew up in 518 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 3: the area, the Meadowlands. It's kind of an honorary part 519 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 3: of New York. So it's Hoboken. Frank Sinatras from Hoboken, 520 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 3: like we were. 521 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: Talking about, we're gonna be is.

Your You did your gut 526 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 2: reaction to me last I'm giving it back to you. 527 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 2: Gut reaction to Zach Wilson being the starter on Sunday 528 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 2: against the Texans. 529 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 3: Well, don't you really want to know if he was 530 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 3: quote reluctant to come back. I want to know the truth. 531 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 3: I want the truth. And maybe I can't handle this. 532 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: Yeah you can't. And maybe you could handle it. You 533 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: just we're never gonna know. 534 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 4: We're never gonna get it. 535 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 3: We'll never get Look, you're a professional quarterback in this league. 536 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 3: You have a chance to play. You're gonna play. I 537 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 3: know it sucks right now for the New York Jets 538 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 3: and they've got problems galore. Who knows what happens with 539 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: this staff. But my gut reaction is I'd rather see 540 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 3: Trevor Simeon than Zach Wilson. 541 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 4: I'd rather see Simeon at this point. 542 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 3: Now Simeon's want to know against the Houston Texans, and 543 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 3: Zach Wilson's actually want to know against the Houston Texans. 544 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 3: But we're talking about a long time ago. Now, Simeon 545 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 3: had a better situation, or a more impressive situation against 546 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 3: the Texans, and I have football for the Denver Broncos 547 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 3: brought Osweiler with the Thrumble. Oh God, had what would 548 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 3: become the number one defense in the league in total yards. 549 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 3: Amazing but that did happen with Zach Wilson. It was 550 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: two years ago. I don't think it counts. But Johnny, 551 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 3: Zach Wilson, he's the kind of guy who I don't 552 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 3: think he could ever thousand paper cut you to death. 553 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 3: But you know, Bryce Young had to drive against this 554 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 3: team at the end of the game. Desmond Ritter had 555 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: to drive against this team at the end of the game. Now, 556 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson couldn't, Kyler Murray couldn't, Dave Derek Carr couldn't. 557 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 4: So you stop those guys. 558 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow you picked him off twice in the fourth quarter, Yeah, 559 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 3: and kept him out of the end zone. 560 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 8: Thank you, boyd. 561 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 3: Kept him out of the end zone. Look, Zach Wilson, 562 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 3: it's not even the paper cuts thing. 563 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: It's the big play. 564 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 3: It's they're down four and somehow he flings it long. 565 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 3: Garret Wilson gets it, and oh my gosh, they were 566 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 3: at the ten yard line. 567 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: Nuts and all of a sudden, the defense is fired up. 568 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 4: You're down with thirty seconds to go, and you need 569 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 4: to drive. 570 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: Do you have enough time for CJ? 571 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 3: You know, those kinds of nightmare scenarios play out in 572 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 3: my mind with Zach Wilson starting. 573 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 4: But let's be honest here. You got to take care 574 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 4: of your business, right. 575 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, you do here. 576 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 2: But here's a few things about Zach Wilson, because I 577 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 2: know everybody's all. The Jets are a mess. Jets are 578 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: a mess. 579 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 8: Okay. 580 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 2: First of all, the Jets offense has scored eleven touchdowns 581 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 2: this year. Is that not that many? It's not that good. 582 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 2: It's really not that good. Now, Zach had a rough 583 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 2: game at Buffalo. Buffalo was coming off a loss and 584 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 2: really needed that one and beat them thirty two to six. 585 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: That was his last start. He was not great. He 586 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: was seven to fifteen eighty one yards a touchdown. 587 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: But if you look at his just his numbers, just 588 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 2: look at his numbers. He's had games where you go, dang, 589 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 2: that's not bad. Kansas City Week four. They lost that 590 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 2: game twenty three to twenty because he didn't get the 591 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: ball back. In that game, he was twenty eight to 592 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 2: thirty nine, seventy two percent completion percentage, two forty five 593 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 2: to touchdowns, no interceptions. Now, he did have the fumble 594 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 2: that the Chiefs are able to take advantage of uh 595 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 2: later on, but that was against. 596 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: Kansas City against Philadelphia. 597 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 2: Numbers weren't great, but he led them to twenty points 598 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: and beat Philadelphia. So for twelve weeks of the year, 599 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 2: the only quarterback to beat the Philadelphia Eagles was Zach Wilson. 600 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: That's incredible. 601 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 2: Against the Chargers, they got thumped twenty seven and six 602 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 2: thirty three of forty nine for two sixty three. No touchdowns, 603 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 2: no picks. I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and 604 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 2: tell you no touchdowns, no picks is great, But thirty 605 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 2: three and forty nine sixty seven percent against the Charger defense. 606 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: You gave up the punter return. I mean that was 607 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: a meltdown. 608 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 2: He led a last minute, less than a minute, last 609 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 2: minute drive, last half minute drive against the Giants down 610 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 2: by three to get a miracle field goal off and 611 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 2: beat the Giants like there's there's just a there's just 612 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 2: enough there that makes you really I don't know, it's 613 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 2: really a not besetting me. 614 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 1: I'm glad he's back in there. 615 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 2: For him, I'd like to see Zach Wilson succeed because 616 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 2: everything he's been through, I don't want him to succeed 617 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,239 Speaker 2: on Sunday, But I'm with you. He's got athleticism, He 618 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: can move. He's got a howitzer of a right arm. 619 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 2: So those plays were like the one against Las Vegas. 620 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: The Hilmary how he a got the ball off is 621 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 2: incredible to. 622 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: Me and me. 623 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 2: He got it all the way in the end zone. 624 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: He gave his guys a shot. So the defense is 625 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: going to keep it close. And so it's one of 626 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: those plays that Wilson makes. Where you go, are you 627 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 2: kidding me? Rewind five years twenty eighteen, we go up 628 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 2: to New York in a must win sitch against the Jets. 629 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: Quarterback Sam Darnold hasn't done much rookie, you know, third 630 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 2: overall pick. What can he do? And he has that 631 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 2: offense rolling, yep, rolling against our defense rolling, and that 632 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 2: was a relatively healthy Texans defense, and he's moving it 633 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 2: up and down the field and we're fighting for our lives. 634 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 2: And thankfully Hop made it catching the end zone. And 635 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 2: Hop was Hop in twenty eighteen. So we win that 636 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 2: game twenty nine to twenty two. But Darnold scared the 637 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 2: fool out of us the entire way. And that Jets 638 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 2: defense compared to this one, stunk. This defense they're good, 639 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 2: they're a different level. 640 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 3: How about this against the Texans two years ago, Wilson 641 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 3: fourteen of twenty four that's fifty eight percent, no touchdowns, 642 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 3: one pick, and he did have a rushing touchdown in 643 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 3: that game. 644 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 4: I don't know if it was a sneak or not. 645 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 3: He was two carries three yards, so it was short 646 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 3: range whoever it was. 647 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 1: But they won the game. 648 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 3: And my point is this, when they do win games, 649 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 3: he doesn't put up great numbers. It's not because of him. 650 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: It's because maybe he hasn't hurt them that much. And 651 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 3: if they're running the ball with Breeze Hall, whatever else 652 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 3: they can throw at you, Dalvin Cook, whatever they can 653 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 3: throw at you. I haven't fully prepped the Jets yet, 654 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 3: but if they're able to get something going on the 655 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 3: ground and their defense is stuffing you and maybe get 656 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 3: a turnover or two, this could be a problematic situation 657 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 3: and the Texans cannot afford. We know this, They know this, 658 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 3: and Demiko is gonna put Carolina up on every bulletin 659 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 3: board of the building. I would imagine every dry erase 660 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 3: board Carolina. Remember that, Remember Charlotte, because how else I mean, 661 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 3: that's just one of the ways you're going to motivate 662 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 3: these guys. I think they're fired up to go to 663 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 3: New York and play football. Though, Johnny, that's how it 664 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 3: should be. When you play the Jets or the Giants. 665 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 3: You're going to New York, you're gonna play. Maybe that 666 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 3: doesn't mean a thing to the players, but I know 667 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 3: that everybody's got to pay full attention to this because 668 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 3: the defense is good enough to kill you on. 669 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 4: The field, and you better be ready. 670 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 2: And not only that, they could score safety last week. 671 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: Ashton Davis and Quinn Williams combined to hit the Jeon 672 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 2: Robinson's safety. Week before against the Dolphins. The only reason 673 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 2: the Jets were in the games cause Brandon Eckles ran 674 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: a touchdown back in the first half. 675 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: On the first second quarter of this first half, they 676 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: could score two. 677 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 2: That's the that's the issue is all of a sudden, 678 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 2: you make a mistake and you know, DJ Reed takes 679 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: one to the house and you're down seven to nothing, 680 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 2: and you're like, man, their defense is good enough to 681 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 2: hold up seven nothing. 682 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that's how good that defense is. 683 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 3: I had a big takeaway though from the Tamico press 684 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 3: conference today. 685 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 4: Run the ball, not just run the ball. 686 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 3: They want stroud to be stroud and do Stroud like things, Yep, 687 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 3: But he said something i'll paraphrase here that we're we 688 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 3: don't need to overcomplicate running the football. We need to 689 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 3: play smash mouth. We need to smash people out of 690 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 3: the way, get out of the way, and running backs 691 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 3: hit those lanes go. So that was my version of 692 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 3: what he said, and I think that it's good advice, 693 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 3: and we'll see what takes here with this offense going 694 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 3: to New York and trying to run the ball. 695 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 4: In addition to Stroud like things against the Jets, d. 696 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 2: Along those lines, the Jets have given up two two 697 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: hundred yard rushing performances, one against the Giants and one 698 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 2: against ironically, the Kansas City chief So the defense has 699 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 2: giving up some yards, but they've also had games where 700 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 2: they held the Giants to minus nine passing yards. 701 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they were right in it with the Chiefs. 702 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 8: Yeah. 703 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 2: Now that was Daniel Jones or whoever followed Jones and 704 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 2: Tommy DeVito and de Vito's first action. But point being like, 705 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 2: they'll give up some yards against the ground, and that's 706 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 2: where you really you'd love to be able to control 707 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 2: the game and get ahead and be able to move 708 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 2: it that way. And really force those guys that want 709 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: to pass rush. Dimico knows he knows that system. He 710 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 2: knows it inside and out. He knows exactly what they 711 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 2: want to do. And if they can, you can get 712 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 2: the third long. All of a sudden, they can start 713 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 2: getting into their exotics and you know, now you've got 714 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: a rookie facing that defense, and as great as cj As, 715 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 2: he's still seeing that defense for the first time. Hopefully 716 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 2: there will be some things he's seen in practice that 717 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 2: he can recall and go, oh, wait a second, I 718 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 2: know what this is. 719 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: I've seen this in practice. 720 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 2: There are some similarities, but there's some dudes on that 721 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 2: other side, including number ninety five, and that's the one 722 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: that worries me the most. 723 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 3: And the latest version of the show. Numbers mean nothing. 724 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 3: Remember a few weeks ago, I said, oh, they're playing 725 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 3: the four out of bottom five rushing defenses in the league. 726 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 3: In the next five games. Whatever it was, it was 727 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 3: a lot of bad rushing defense. Denver is last at 728 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 3: one forty nine surrendered on the ground per game, and 729 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 3: they couldn't run the ball in the second half versus 730 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 3: the Broncos. The Jets are fourth to last in this league. 731 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 3: So you just never know. It's all about them. They 732 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 3: can dictate things, they can make things happen on the ground. 733 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: They just got to do it. That's exactly right. It's 734 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: just got to happen. 735 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 2: The biggest thing in the run game is taking advantage 736 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 2: of ninety five wanting to get upfield. He's stud I mean, 737 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 2: Quinn Williams is as good as it gets. And this 738 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 2: is really the first time that they're facing one of 739 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 2: those guys. Last year there was this run of Dexter 740 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 2: Lawrence and Jeffrey Simmons. You didn't face Quinn Williams in 741 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 2: that group that you faced, but you faced like six 742 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 2: in a row Studs Interior Studs. 743 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: Well, now you face Williams. 744 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 2: Quinn Williams because his brother Williams is right behind him, 745 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 2: and he and Mosley are very very good. So this 746 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,479 Speaker 2: Jets defense, it's weird. The last couple of days, I've 747 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 2: kind of had this. I mean, I've watched them play, 748 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 2: but I'm like, man, they're just bigger than life to me. 749 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 2: I watched him against the Falcons, I'm like, hey, I 750 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 2: think the Texas have got some things they can do. 751 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: Now. 752 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 2: I would hate for it to be in the rain. 753 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 2: But God, to deal with what you got. I mean, 754 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 2: it is what it is. Both teams are going to 755 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 2: have to deal with it. But if the Texas can 756 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 2: run the ball and it is poor weather, then you know, 757 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 2: hopefully that'll be an advantage for them. But the Falcons 758 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 2: made a couple of plays through the air. Mikeel Preuitt 759 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 2: made a diving catch in the end zone for the 760 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 2: Falcons for a touchdown, beating one of the safeties on 761 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 2: a steam route. So they're gonna be some things available. 762 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 2: You just got to be able to take advantage of them. 763 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 2: And to me, as many times as you could put 764 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 2: points on the board in this game, to me, if 765 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 2: you put up three, if you put up three every 766 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 2: other drive a touchdown mixed in, I think that's gonna 767 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: end up being enough. 768 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, be productive that way, and don't go three and out. No, no, Johnny, 769 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 3: it's it's about not turning them all over. Yes, it 770 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 3: really is. It's that simple. I mean you could talk 771 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 3: about getting three here, seven there. Yeah, sure, I mean, 772 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 3: obviously have to score points to win. Don't turn it over. 773 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 3: Take you plan on a long field, you'll be in 774 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 3: good shape. 775 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 2: To your point, they generated four turnovers against the Bills. 776 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 2: They won that game. They generated four turnovers against the Eagles, 777 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 2: they won that game. They generated two turnovers against the 778 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 2: Chiefs and near and barely barely lost that game. They 779 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 2: got moral victory around the league for that one. 780 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: Everyone was right. 781 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 2: They had three turnovers against the Broncos and won that game. 782 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 2: So you're right, turnovers are going to be absolutely massive. 783 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 2: Taking care of the football going to be huge, huge, 784 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 2: But offensively I mentioned earlier Michael pruittt tight end touchdown. 785 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: Hopefully Revin Jordan can be that guy. 786 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 2: He's stopping by for the slant next right here in 787 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 2: Texans All Access.

It was at the Star 1020 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,239 Speaker 14: where I think the opening was one year where he 1021 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 14: outperformed everybody and he you know, including the guy who 1022 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 14: went oh first, overall they were, you know, like he. 1023 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 8: He was at his best. 1024 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 14: Even you look, when Georgia was a it was the 1025 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 14: most talented defense in the country. 1026 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,320 Speaker 13: He had them on the ropes. 1027 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 8: You know. 1028 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 13: It's interesting in. 1029 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,399 Speaker 14: This regard because a lot of talk around the draft 1030 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 14: came up at like the S two cognition test, and 1031 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 14: I remember talking to an NFL quarterback coach for store 1032 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 14: I did on the athletic right before the draft, and 1033 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 14: he was like, you know, I had him first until 1034 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 14: those you know, some of those results came out and 1035 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 14: he goes but like you don't see any of the 1036 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,880 Speaker 14: issues on film, and everybody knows he's really smart. Like 1037 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 14: I think, like if I was, and again I'm not 1038 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 14: a not a GM, if I had the first pick 1039 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,759 Speaker 14: on the draft, I would dig him. No knock on 1040 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 14: Bryce Young, but but Bryce Song was not a big man. 1041 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 14: At some point he is going to take some big 1042 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 14: hits and how he's gonna respond That looks you know, 1043 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 14: Cjil takes probably some big hits too, and we'll see 1044 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,319 Speaker 14: how he holds up. But he's a lot more likely, 1045 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 14: I would think to be durable, and I, you know, 1046 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 14: I just think he's going to be terrific. 1047 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:35,839 Speaker 1: So we said that. 1048 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 2: I'm just like, yes, man, that would be that would 1049 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 2: be awesome.

I know there has been 1155 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 2: so much discussion about that pick sauce versus staying all 1156 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. 1157 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,840 Speaker 1: Well, this honor, doesn't, you know, squelch any of that. 1158 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a long, you know, long careers for 1159 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 2: both of them, long debated for a long time. But 1160 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 2: I do know Derek Stingley Junior is playing his best 1161 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 2: football here for the Texans, and it's damn good. And 1162 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,480 Speaker 2: that's the most important thing to be recognized. 1163 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 1: Is great. 1164 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,760 Speaker 2: But he is playing some damn good football for the Texans, 1165 00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 2: and that's awesome.

Bob, 1176 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,839 Speaker 3: it's great to have you on and I know it's 1177 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 3: a busy time of year for you. We really appreciate 1178 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 3: the visit. So tell me what is your general assessment, 1179 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,800 Speaker 3: your general take on what has happened to the Jets 1180 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 3: this year. Everyone talks about Aaron Rodgers and there's so 1181 00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,640 Speaker 3: much more going on. What do you think of the 1182 00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,240 Speaker 3: way the twenty twenty three campaign has transpired. 1183 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 12: Aaron Rodgers got hurt. The period stopped. That's it. So, 1184 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 12: I mean, I would love to say that. 1185 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 6: And look, there is more. 1186 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 12: They're you know, their wide receivers have underperformed, the offensive 1187 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 12: line has been decimated by injuries. You know, there's definitely 1188 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 12: other reasons as to why they're having a tough time. 1189 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,720 Speaker 12: But Aaron Rodgers got hurt, and it was all began 1190 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 12: with Aaron Rodgers and ended with Aaron Rodgers. That's he 1191 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 12: makes you right when you're wrong, and so that's it. 1192 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 12: That's the you know, basically, their house burned to the 1193 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 12: ground four plays into their season, and that, you know, 1194 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 12: kind of the end of the story. You know, I 1195 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:47,880 Speaker 12: hate to say it, but that really is true. 1196 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 3: Well, still competitive in a lot of games, and I 1197 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,719 Speaker 3: think a lot of that has to do with the defense. 1198 00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 3: So tell me about the defense, Bob, and how good 1199 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 3: they can be. I know you see some high point 1200 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,880 Speaker 3: totals as well, but a lot of that is because 1201 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 3: the offense is unable to carry its share of the load, 1202 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,320 Speaker 3: I would think, But what. 1203 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:06,840 Speaker 1: Do you think of the Jets defense? 1204 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:07,320 Speaker 4: Overall? 1205 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:11,200 Speaker 12: The defense has done everything that could be reasonably asked 1206 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:15,839 Speaker 12: of it to try to keep them in games as 1207 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,920 Speaker 12: best they can. I mean, like the defense in certain 1208 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 12: games obviously, when you're playing against you know, the Bills 1209 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,720 Speaker 12: and the Dolphins, and you know, teams that can score 1210 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 12: in bunches, at some point they're going to wilt because 1211 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 12: they just see the offense not putting any points up. 1212 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,239 Speaker 12: It's just human nature that, you know, you can't, like, 1213 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:43,120 Speaker 12: you can't play mistake free football, you know, every possession 1214 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 12: of every game, and that's basically what they're asked to do. 1215 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,960 Speaker 12: So like this past weekend a perfect example. I mean, 1216 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,839 Speaker 12: you know, they were down anywhere from three to five 1217 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 12: points or whatever for basically the entire game. The defense 1218 00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 12: got stopped after stop after stop after stop, and the 1219 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 12: offense and can't score a touchdown. Anybody who's actually watched 1220 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,319 Speaker 12: them play would say that they have a top five 1221 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,799 Speaker 12: defense in the NFL, and unfortunately, it looks like they're 1222 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,480 Speaker 12: gonna end up potentially in the top five of the 1223 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 12: draft with the top five defense in the NFL, because 1224 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,840 Speaker 12: you know, the offense just can't score points. 1225 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 3: Bob was Shoes and voice of the Jets, joining us 1226 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 3: on Texans Radio. We talk about CJ. Moseley, about Williams, 1227 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,680 Speaker 3: about the other Williams, about a lot of the players 1228 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,120 Speaker 3: on the Jets, d Jermaine Johnson. But give me a 1229 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 3: few guys who are performing well in your opinion, guys 1230 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,319 Speaker 3: that Texans fans need to watch out for. 1231 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 1: CJ. 1232 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 4: Stroud and company come to town. 1233 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,120 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, obviously CJ is going to try and 1234 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,520 Speaker 12: throw the ball, right, like even with without Tank Dell, 1235 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 12: that's still the strength of your team is they are 1236 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 12: going to try and make chunk plays happen through the air, 1237 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:52,400 Speaker 12: and that is probably playing to the Jets' strength because 1238 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 12: the Jets have with Ramaine Johnson, Bright Huff, a couple 1239 00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 12: of guys you didn't mention that are really really good 1240 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 12: pass rushers, DJ Reid and Sauce Gardner, really good corners, 1241 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 12: you know, like they they stay in games, are forcing 1242 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,319 Speaker 12: you to throw the pass rush hits the quarterback and 1243 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 12: the defense takes the ball away, that they beat the Eagles. 1244 00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 12: The Eagles have won two losses now. They lost the 1245 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 12: arguably the best team in football yesterday and they lost 1246 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,439 Speaker 12: to the Jets. While everybody of course shakes their head, 1247 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 12: have they possibly lose to the Jets? Well, because the 1248 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,440 Speaker 12: Jets dominated the game on defense and took the ball 1249 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 12: away four times, and they have that capability. So right now, 1250 00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,319 Speaker 12: even though the offense is struggling as as badly as 1251 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,480 Speaker 12: you can struggle, like one of these teams that's in 1252 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,919 Speaker 12: a playoff race down the stretch here that the Jets play, 1253 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,720 Speaker 12: Jets will probably beat them because they're you know, odds 1254 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 12: are they'll have one more game where the defense just 1255 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,280 Speaker 12: hits the quarterback and knocks the ball out and scoops 1256 00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,880 Speaker 12: and scores or you know, does something to flip the 1257 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:02,120 Speaker 12: game because they're that good. And that's what they did 1258 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,839 Speaker 12: in the Eagles. I mean, in the Eagle game, they 1259 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,880 Speaker 12: scored one touchdown and the Eagles let them score the 1260 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 12: touchdown that they scored, so like their offense didn't produce 1261 00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,279 Speaker 12: a touchdown without the Eagles laying down and letting them 1262 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 12: in the end zone. And yet they won the game 1263 00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 12: against a team that might go to the Super Bowl 1264 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,480 Speaker 12: because their defense has that capability. So if you're a 1265 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,279 Speaker 12: Texans fan, that's what you have to worry about it, 1266 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 12: that's what you have to guard against, is not letting 1267 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:26,680 Speaker 12: the Jet defense beat you. 1268 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 3: Bob one more on the quarterback situation now, and as 1269 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,719 Speaker 3: we record this, it's still in flux. I guess it's 1270 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 3: always in flux this season for the New York Jets. 1271 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,680 Speaker 3: But what have you seen from Zach Wilson that could 1272 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,319 Speaker 3: give him some hope for the future here? As it's 1273 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 3: not like he's an older quarterback. He's in year three, 1274 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,920 Speaker 3: still trying to find his way. What have you seen 1275 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,240 Speaker 3: from him that can be built upon in his career? 1276 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 12: Well, I mean, the thing that he brings is physical 1277 00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,440 Speaker 12: traits that can't be taught. Right, Like, he can make rose, 1278 00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:07,319 Speaker 12: He can do things with his legs physically that maybe 1279 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 12: three or four or five other quarterbacks in the league 1280 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:14,160 Speaker 12: can do, like a top five or top six quarterback, 1281 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:20,960 Speaker 12: like athletically like Tua Tongue Bai Loa couldn't dream of 1282 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 12: throwing the ball off platform with the velocity of Zach Wilson. Obviously, 1283 00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:33,080 Speaker 12: a massive amount more goes into playing quarterback than just 1284 00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:37,080 Speaker 12: being physically gifted, as his proof of what a quarterback 1285 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 12: like Tua does and the fact that Zach has been 1286 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 12: benched because just can't score touchdowns. So like the you're 1287 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,160 Speaker 12: gonna get an offensive coordinator or a head coach out 1288 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:51,040 Speaker 12: there where their ego is gonna be oh well, I mean, 1289 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,720 Speaker 12: look at the highlights of this kid when he makes 1290 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:58,560 Speaker 12: a play. I could coach that, like, let me have that, 1291 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,400 Speaker 12: let me tribes stay some Now. Do I think that 1292 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 12: you know there's a coach or an office cordinator out 1293 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,480 Speaker 12: there that can do that for Zach's sake, I hope. 1294 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,399 Speaker 12: So I would love to see him succeed. I think 1295 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 12: he needs to go to a team that has a 1296 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,720 Speaker 12: really good offensive line so he can stand back there 1297 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 12: and do the thing that he has a hard time 1298 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:22,640 Speaker 12: with and that is process and read and see. But 1299 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 12: if you are able to put a structure around him 1300 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:29,920 Speaker 12: that supports him in that way, I mean he physically 1301 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,920 Speaker 12: he can do things that very very few guys can do. 1302 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 12: And you know, the talent is is like tempting. I 1303 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 12: mean that you know that the talent is intriguing when 1304 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 12: there will be times like if you're his agent and 1305 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 12: you went back and found the ten best plays this 1306 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 12: season that he's made and put up a little ten 1307 00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,640 Speaker 12: play highlight, cut up and show that. You know, if 1308 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 12: there was a proverbial coach from Mars that had never 1309 00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,120 Speaker 12: seen him play, that coach will go whoa and give 1310 00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 12: me this guy. I can make this work. This guy 1311 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,240 Speaker 12: look at the throws he can make. But the problem, 1312 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:05,080 Speaker 12: obviously is there's so much more that goes into the 1313 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,960 Speaker 12: mental side of playing that position, and that's where he 1314 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 12: just needs to be able to develop. 1315 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 3: Bob, with Chuzen joining us on Texan's radio voice of 1316 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:17,080 Speaker 3: the New York Jets AFC East, question, more surprising to 1317 00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,680 Speaker 3: you the Bills being six and six or the Patriots 1318 00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 3: being two and ten? 1319 00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 13: Bob, to me, the Bills. 1320 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,840 Speaker 12: I think when we all looked at the Patriots going 1321 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 12: into this season, the only reason that anyone thought they 1322 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 12: were going to be anything other than a really bad 1323 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 12: team was well, it's Bill Belichick, right Like, Bill Belichick 1324 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,400 Speaker 12: is the coach, and he's a genius, and he just 1325 00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 12: won't be able to have a team be this beat. 1326 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 12: He'll figure out a way, and ultimately it's really the 1327 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 12: talent of your team that determines that's our failure of 1328 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 12: your team. I mean, look, coaching is very important. Gramatically, 1329 00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,880 Speaker 12: play calling, all of that is very important. But funny 1330 00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,920 Speaker 12: people are calling for Joe Douglass and Roberts Zala's heads 1331 00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,919 Speaker 12: here in New York, left and right in the media. 1332 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:08,800 Speaker 12: All of those same people acknowledge that if Aaron Rodgers 1333 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 12: had never gotten hurt, the Jets would probably be you know, 1334 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,640 Speaker 12: eight and four or nine and three because of how 1335 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,600 Speaker 12: well the defense plays and Aaron Rodgers to be able 1336 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,680 Speaker 12: to score you know, twenty one to twenty four points 1337 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,640 Speaker 12: a game. So it just goes to show you, like 1338 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,960 Speaker 12: how little people actually understand or believe it has to 1339 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 12: do with coaching. Because if you're out of one side 1340 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,600 Speaker 12: of your mouth saying fire the Jets head coach and 1341 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 12: fire the general manager because of the record and how 1342 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 12: bad it's been this year. But at the same time, 1343 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,240 Speaker 12: we think they'd maybe be in first place if Aaron 1344 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 12: Rodgers had gotten hurt. So he's a good general manager 1345 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,200 Speaker 12: and a good coach if the quarterback's healthy, But all 1346 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,200 Speaker 12: of a sudden, it's a bad general manager and a 1347 00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,200 Speaker 12: bad coach because the quarterback got hurt. So to me, 1348 00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 12: it's it's the talent of your team. And anybody that 1349 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,800 Speaker 12: looked at that Patriot roster, I thought they were going 1350 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 12: to be anything better than you know, a four or 1351 00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 12: five six win team. I don't know what they were 1352 01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 12: looking at. That's what I thought they would be. I 1353 01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 12: thought they were clearly a last place team talent wise 1354 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 12: in the division. And I mean they mentioned their quarterback. 1355 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 12: Their quarterback didn't get hurt, right, the Jets at least 1356 01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,880 Speaker 12: lost their quarterback. Their season is fall falling amart because 1357 01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 12: Aaron Rodgers got hurt. At Kellent didn't get hurt. He's 1358 01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:17,680 Speaker 12: just not played well. 1359 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:22,520 Speaker 3: Bob, ESPN NHL hockey, I know you gotta love it. 1360 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 1: How much do you love it? And you went to BC? 1361 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,400 Speaker 3: Were you calling hockey on the student station at BC 1362 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 3: when you were there? And obviously college hockey in Boston 1363 01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,560 Speaker 3: is huge. How do you enjoy doing the NHL on 1364 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,560 Speaker 3: ESPN share with us some hockey play by play stuff 1365 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,960 Speaker 3: and how much you it's a love for you? 1366 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:45,040 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a blast. You know, I was a you know, 1367 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,440 Speaker 12: college hockey broadcaster, like we all were. Right, you'd go 1368 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,560 Speaker 12: to your college radio station and you know when I 1369 01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,080 Speaker 12: was in college. I watched NHL level players in college. 1370 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 12: I mean, if you're calling games for BC or Boston 1371 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 12: University or Maine or prop Evidence, those schools have NHL 1372 01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,720 Speaker 12: players on their roster, so you're basically calling like minor 1373 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 12: league NHL hockey at that level. And I've i called 1374 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,880 Speaker 12: games that involved first round draft choices and Olympians. So 1375 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,160 Speaker 12: I've always loved the sport. And when I was working 1376 01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,760 Speaker 12: for Madison Square Garden, I was like the backup guy 1377 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 12: for the Rangers as well, so I would call twenty 1378 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,920 Speaker 12: to twenty five Rangers games the year. And then when 1379 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,680 Speaker 12: ESPN hired me full time, it was kind of like 1380 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 12: ships passing in the night. I came to ESPN as 1381 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:42,720 Speaker 12: the television rights basically went from ESPN to NBC. And 1382 01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,600 Speaker 12: now I obviously would have always hoped that hockey could 1383 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,720 Speaker 12: be a part of what I would have done there. 1384 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:52,200 Speaker 12: Now they brought it back, you know, after aving a ESPN. 1385 01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 12: But seventeen or eighteen years, we were lucky enough to be, 1386 01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:00,520 Speaker 12: you know, reunited with the NHL, and so it is, uh, yeah, 1387 01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 12: it's a blast, and you know, it's a fantastic league. 1388 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 12: I'm hoping at some point when the NHL expands, that 1389 01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 12: Houston gets another shot at it, because that's what we 1390 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,600 Speaker 12: keep hearing that. You know, if if the NHL us 1391 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,160 Speaker 12: a couple of more teams that on the short list 1392 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 12: of cities that that could be in the mix to 1393 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:27,120 Speaker 12: get an expansion team, the NHL might reappear in Houston, 1394 01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 12: and that would be fun. 1395 01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,680 Speaker 3: What's been the closest call you've had between calling a 1396 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,040 Speaker 3: Jets game and some of your ESPN duties. 1397 01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:40,000 Speaker 12: Oh jeez, Yeah, I've had a couple, you know, like 1398 01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,080 Speaker 12: when you get the We had one two years ago 1399 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 12: as a good example. I don't know if you've had 1400 01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,200 Speaker 12: to like dodge bullets on Saturdays to get to where 1401 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,480 Speaker 12: the Technics are on Sunday. I had a game at 1402 01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 12: Ole Miss a couple of years ago, like a three 1403 01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:57,960 Speaker 12: thirty or not sorry noon game from New three thirty 1404 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,880 Speaker 12: game basically, but it was a new start. We had 1405 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,520 Speaker 12: to high tail it to Memphis right after the game 1406 01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:08,440 Speaker 12: was over and make a flight from Memphis to Atlanta 1407 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,840 Speaker 12: and Atlanta to wherever I was going for the Jets 1408 01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 12: and outs. And of course it's like early October in 1409 01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 12: Memphis and there's a lightning delay. I was sitting there 1410 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:23,200 Speaker 12: with like a two hour lightning delay in Memphis or 1411 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:27,760 Speaker 12: in Oxford, Mississippi, scrambling at halftime on our phones to 1412 01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,800 Speaker 12: try and figure out what to do, and all of 1413 01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,600 Speaker 12: a sudden, all the you know, collectively, myself, my spot, 1414 01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,240 Speaker 12: my stats guy, and dan Orlabski, who I was working 1415 01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 12: with at the time, we all realized that we're not 1416 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,520 Speaker 12: making the flight out of Memphis. But all of us 1417 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,480 Speaker 12: were on the same flight to go to Atlanta to 1418 01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,680 Speaker 12: then get on flights from Atlanta and scatter to wherever 1419 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:51,520 Speaker 12: we were all going. Everyone had flights that probably were 1420 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:55,000 Speaker 12: in the you know, ten ten thirty range out of Atlanta. 1421 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,240 Speaker 12: Dan was like, well, if we just drive really fast 1422 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,800 Speaker 12: to Atlanta, we might be able to make our second 1423 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,720 Speaker 12: flights that way. And so we called up and got 1424 01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,520 Speaker 12: someone from Disney Corporate Travel on the phone and said, 1425 01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,200 Speaker 12: here's what we need. Everybody needs. The flight out of 1426 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:15,000 Speaker 12: Memphis canceled, but don't cancel the flight side of Atlanta. 1427 01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,520 Speaker 12: And that rental car that you have returned to Memphis. 1428 01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:21,080 Speaker 12: That rental cars now returned to Atlanta. And we got 1429 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 12: into a car after the game was over, and four 1430 01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:28,080 Speaker 12: hundred and fifty miles later we were in the Atlanta 1431 01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,000 Speaker 12: Airport running to make our flights and we got out. 1432 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,000 Speaker 12: You know, you always figure out a way. 1433 01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,160 Speaker 4: It's just, but it can be Dicey absolutely well. 1434 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 3: My broadcast partner Andre Were has had a few close calls, 1435 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,640 Speaker 3: never missed one though, so that's good.

We I mean, 1459 01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:50,919 Speaker 2: we've kind of been holding our breath about some guys 1460 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 2: that have been on there. And obviously Tank Dell's not 1461 01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,400 Speaker 2: gonna show up on here.

The Textans also Madewo. 1463 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:03,480 Speaker 2: Other transactions, Texans signed Adrian Amos, who had previously been 1464 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:07,160 Speaker 2: with the Jets, so he comes here veteran safety. It's 1465 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,040 Speaker 2: been around, and Chris Boyd has now been added to 1466 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,840 Speaker 2: the active roster. Corner played University. Texas does a lot 1467 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,640 Speaker 2: of things being special teams as well. So Texan's making 1468 01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:21,200 Speaker 2: some roster moves as they always do. But the injury report, 1469 01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:24,080 Speaker 2: how bad is it? Well, I gotta say it's not 1470 01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,640 Speaker 2: as bad as it's been, and that is a move 1471 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 2: in the right direction. DMPs on Wednesday, George Fant the hip, 1472 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:36,360 Speaker 2: Nevill hewittt hamstring, Lamy Tunsell and knee, Jimmy Ward's shoulder, 1473 01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,919 Speaker 2: Robert Woods not injury related rests, so it says right there, 1474 01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:43,200 Speaker 2: Robert Woods rest imagine he's gonna be back. 1475 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:44,440 Speaker 1: All those guys. 1476 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,960 Speaker 2: I don't remember seeing Neville, but everybody else say at 1477 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 2: least saw out there, which is good. Stephen participating practice 1478 01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:55,640 Speaker 2: limited participants, Will Anderson Junior, Noah Brown, Sheldon Rankins, and 1479 01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,280 Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz. Great to see Dalton in a limited participant. 1480 01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,840 Speaker 2: Does not mean he's gonna be ready to go on Sunday, 1481 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,760 Speaker 2: but that's at least a step in the right direction. 1482 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,040 Speaker 2: Missed him on Sunday. Hope to have him back. And 1483 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,919 Speaker 2: then polpicipant Dezel Perriman knee name not on there. 1484 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:10,240 Speaker 1: CJ. 1485 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,840 Speaker 2: Strout. That's good off the injury report. Now on the 1486 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:17,080 Speaker 2: Jets side of things, remember how we were talking about 1487 01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:19,120 Speaker 2: this earlier in the year. Everybody had busted up hands. 1488 01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 2: Denzel Perriman had one, Jake Hansen had one, Tybio Thomas 1489 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,520 Speaker 2: having like everybody had a hand issue. Well, where the Jets, 1490 01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:30,680 Speaker 2: it's ankles or anything starting with the A did not participate. 1491 01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,640 Speaker 2: Starting wide receiver and rookie from USM. SO then Miss 1492 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:35,640 Speaker 2: Jason Browning has an ankle. He went out, he got 1493 01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:37,640 Speaker 2: tackled low in the game against the Falcons and went 1494 01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:41,400 Speaker 2: out and didn't come back. John Franklin, Myers, Stephen and 1495 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,640 Speaker 2: f Austin ankle. That'd be a big one. He's always 1496 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 2: been a thorn in our side. Bryce Hall starting running 1497 01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:51,960 Speaker 2: back ankle, ankle, ankle, ankle. Everybody's got ankles, Well, they've 1498 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:55,760 Speaker 2: got injured ankles. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Don't expect to see 1499 01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,120 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. He's got the Achilles West Schweitzer starting off 1500 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:03,280 Speaker 2: its lineman. So those are all DNPS limited participants. McKay 1501 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:08,000 Speaker 2: Beckton also starting offensive lineman, left tackle dealing with the knee, 1502 01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,840 Speaker 2: Tyler Conklin, Billy Turner, Quincy Williams, the brother Quinn Williams. 1503 01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:15,800 Speaker 2: They're all limited participants in practice. So for the first 1504 01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:20,880 Speaker 2: time in a while, the Texans injury report not so bad, 1505 01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:22,439 Speaker 2: not as bad as it's been. 1506 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:24,840 Speaker 1: So is that a good sign? I don't know. 1507 01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,080 Speaker 2: We'll find out, but it's at least good to see 1508 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:32,000 Speaker 2: names like Dalton Schultz inlimited and not DNP. That's at 1509 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:35,400 Speaker 2: least a good step. We'll see where it continues. At 1510 01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,240 Speaker 2: that point, where it's going to continue now is with 1511 01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:40,960 Speaker 2: my man Drew Doherty. As we go in the lap, 1512 01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:41,799 Speaker 2: let's rock. 1513 01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:45,360 Speaker 15: Big win last Saturday, big game this week against it. 1514 01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,880 Speaker 15: This looks like on paper a really really shaky New 1515 01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,680 Speaker 15: York Jets team. But before we get into all that, 1516 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,920 Speaker 15: what's your favorite thing about taking a trip to New 1517 01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,680 Speaker 15: Jersey slash New York with the Houston Texans. 1518 01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:57,840 Speaker 8: Done? 1519 01:08:57,840 --> 01:08:59,960 Speaker 15: You've done a few of these over the years, Yeah, 1520 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 15: she guy said, used, done a few of these almost. 1521 01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:04,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, used, used on a few of these. 1522 01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,080 Speaker 2: Uh, you know the last time, you know, last time 1523 01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:11,120 Speaker 2: we went to face the Giants last year. Last year 1524 01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,559 Speaker 2: we got in later for some reason, there was something 1525 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,200 Speaker 2: wrong like the trip. 1526 01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:16,559 Speaker 1: I don't know why we got in later. 1527 01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:18,679 Speaker 2: I just remember that that that was a fun a trip, 1528 01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 2: just because I kind of hung in the hotel and 1529 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 2: that was that. But a few years ago, my nephews 1530 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,639 Speaker 2: were both living in New York and they love football, 1531 01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:27,519 Speaker 2: They love sports. 1532 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I love those two to death. 1533 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,120 Speaker 2: And so we met up in We met up in 1534 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,880 Speaker 2: Grench village, had dinner at a great time. And then 1535 01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,880 Speaker 2: the Texans went out and beat the Jets on that Saturday, 1536 01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:38,599 Speaker 2: which was cool. 1537 01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,840 Speaker 1: That was a that was eighteen fourteen. Uh, you and 1538 01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:47,920 Speaker 1: I Jay, we had a good time roaming New York. 1539 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,280 Speaker 7: We got there on Friday for a Sunday that's the one. 1540 01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:55,360 Speaker 2: All day Saturday, sleep in Saturday, all day Saturday. 1541 01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,240 Speaker 1: Then game on Sunday. Unfortunately lost to the Giants, but 1542 01:09:59,000 --> 01:09:59,960 Speaker 1: we're over for the Giant. 1543 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,160 Speaker 2: It's but we at least beat the Jets there in 1544 01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,680 Speaker 2: eighteen so hopefully we'll be zero for two Giants, but 1545 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,920 Speaker 2: for two for two against the Jets hopefully this Sunday. 1546 01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,040 Speaker 1: And you know you brought it up. It's a it's 1547 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:11,920 Speaker 1: an interesting squad. 1548 01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,160 Speaker 2: On the other side, I mean, that defense is arguably 1549 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 2: the best defense in the league. 1550 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:18,719 Speaker 1: You're not gonna find many there. Better. 1551 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:20,400 Speaker 2: You can find some that are on the same line, 1552 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,439 Speaker 2: you know, kind of the same level. Maybe the forty 1553 01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:26,280 Speaker 2: nine ers, but not many. But the offense is such 1554 01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 2: a disaster right now for multiple reasons. And you know 1555 01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,360 Speaker 2: you read this week that you know Zach Wilson going 1556 01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:34,880 Speaker 2: back in the lineup, is he not Trevor cit Like, 1557 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:36,880 Speaker 2: what are they doing to Boyle is the start of 1558 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 2: the last two weeks, but then he's cut and really 1559 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:40,920 Speaker 2: it's I don't know, it's it's kind of a it's 1560 01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:42,320 Speaker 2: kind of a mess. And of course you got Aaron 1561 01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,439 Speaker 2: Rodgers and all that, which we're not going to see. 1562 01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,559 Speaker 2: But I don't know. It's just it's odd because your offense, 1563 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,439 Speaker 2: which is you know, been doing some really good things 1564 01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:54,160 Speaker 2: now is to face the best defense in the league. 1565 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,679 Speaker 2: Your defense, which has been doing some good things, facing 1566 01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,000 Speaker 2: arguably one of the worst offenses in the league. So 1567 01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,720 Speaker 2: and there's gonna be weather issues, so you know, it's 1568 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 2: probably gonna be just an ugly, ugly game. But you 1569 01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:08,080 Speaker 2: just gotta hope that you do enough of the right 1570 01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,760 Speaker 2: things right and do some of a lot of the 1571 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,719 Speaker 2: simple things right. I you take care of the football 1572 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 2: heked you last week, and hopefully you walk out of the. 1573 01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:18,080 Speaker 15: Re w john What if I told you, What if 1574 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,639 Speaker 15: I told you before Sunday's game that this would happen 1575 01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:26,200 Speaker 15: for the Texans. Hank Dell will be carted off the 1576 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:31,160 Speaker 15: field in the first half, Davis Mills would throw a 1577 01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:36,040 Speaker 15: pass at quarterback Cam Johnson would have to punt seven 1578 01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,920 Speaker 15: times in the game. You'd only go four of sixteen 1579 01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 15: on third down, you'd only rush for three yards of carry. 1580 01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:49,920 Speaker 15: Stroud would get sacked five times. John, What if I 1581 01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,400 Speaker 15: told you those things before the Texans even kicked off? 1582 01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,040 Speaker 1: What if I told you, well, I would throw one 1583 01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:55,559 Speaker 1: at you. 1584 01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,439 Speaker 2: I would say, what if I told you the Broncos 1585 01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:00,320 Speaker 2: will be zero for eleven I'm third down? 1586 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:05,360 Speaker 1: That would like that? That would complicate everything because you're like, whoa. 1587 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:07,599 Speaker 15: And then you say, and Russell Wilson only threw for 1588 01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,320 Speaker 15: forty four yards the first half alone, the worst half 1589 01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:13,640 Speaker 15: of his entire career, which is probably gonna put him 1590 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:14,519 Speaker 15: in Canton some day. 1591 01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:17,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have. I would have been really confused. 1592 01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:20,200 Speaker 2: I'd have been I don't know. And I think that's 1593 01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,439 Speaker 2: kind of the way the game went it. You know, 1594 01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,080 Speaker 2: it felt like it was a game that, you know, 1595 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,360 Speaker 2: at twenty two to ten, I thought, okay, you know, 1596 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:29,760 Speaker 2: just put a couple more, a couple more, put another 1597 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:31,080 Speaker 2: score up there, make it twenty nine to. 1598 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:32,640 Speaker 1: Ten, and you'll feel like you got it. 1599 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,599 Speaker 2: But you know, you settled for three madamondol Field goals, 1600 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,080 Speaker 2: and I totally agreed with the first one to get 1601 01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:42,360 Speaker 2: his confidence back, to give him an easy three pointer. Okay, good, 1602 01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:44,960 Speaker 2: but you know the fact that you had to settle 1603 01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,519 Speaker 2: for two other field goals on drives and he gave 1604 01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,760 Speaker 2: up that long ball to Courland Sutton, which by the way, 1605 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 2: was his pretty throws I've seen all year long, and 1606 01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,400 Speaker 2: I've seen every single c J Strout throw up close. 1607 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,920 Speaker 2: That throw over Russell Wilson was as good as a guy. 1608 01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:02,000 Speaker 2: I mean, it was. It was so incredibly good. But 1609 01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,599 Speaker 2: what you said, I would have been like, Okay, they're 1610 01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:07,920 Speaker 2: not winning this game. There's there's not a there's not 1611 01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:09,960 Speaker 2: a chance and you know what of winning this game. 1612 01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:14,040 Speaker 2: But Nico, the three things that I just mentioned, you 1613 01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,680 Speaker 2: mentioned one the one I mentioned, oh for eleven and 1614 01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,960 Speaker 2: third down you mentioned Russell's forty four yards passing. I 1615 01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,800 Speaker 2: will mention Nico Collins nine for one ninety one and 1616 01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 2: three massive chunk plays of thirty nine yards or more 1617 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:32,559 Speaker 2: huge huge. Now you throw in there the throw that 1618 01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,760 Speaker 2: Straw made to Metch You were Mechi's wide open. You 1619 01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:36,640 Speaker 2: just overshot him a little bit. That should have been 1620 01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,439 Speaker 2: seven points. That should have been another touchdown. He had 1621 01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:41,880 Speaker 2: the three field goal drives, at least one maybe two 1622 01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:45,960 Speaker 2: should have been touchdowns. And now you're looking at what uh, 1623 01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:47,720 Speaker 2: and then you probably shouldn't have given up one. 1624 01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:49,120 Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward goes out of the game. 1625 01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:51,000 Speaker 2: And also they go bang bang and they're down in 1626 01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:52,839 Speaker 2: there and they score a touch to make of twenty seventeen. 1627 01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 2: Either way, that shot should have probably been a thirty 1628 01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:57,400 Speaker 2: four to seventeen game. That's that's kind of the way 1629 01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:01,360 Speaker 2: it felt. Arizona should have been that way. You know, 1630 01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:04,360 Speaker 2: Jacksonville shouldn't have gotten you know, even a twenty four 1631 01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:05,000 Speaker 2: to twenty one. 1632 01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:08,160 Speaker 1: But you know, so be it. But I would if 1633 01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:09,559 Speaker 1: you'd have told me those things, I'd have been like, 1634 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:11,759 Speaker 1: all right, well, they're. 1635 01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,240 Speaker 15: Winning basically, and they after every game, and you can 1636 01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,479 Speaker 15: say this surely after every you know, even if you 1637 01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,160 Speaker 15: win sixty three to nothing, you say, well, we got 1638 01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:19,559 Speaker 15: some stuff we go to clean up. But they really 1639 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,280 Speaker 15: do have things they need to clean up. But they 1640 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:24,759 Speaker 15: are still winning games, right, They're winning games against good teams, 1641 01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,000 Speaker 15: good quarterback. I mean, they're making it happen when they're 1642 01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,360 Speaker 15: not at their best. And that's got to make you 1643 01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:33,240 Speaker 15: excited about this future. And when I say the future, 1644 01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:35,479 Speaker 15: I'm not talking next year. I'm talking this game, the 1645 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,960 Speaker 15: game after, you know, the next month or so, because 1646 01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:43,800 Speaker 15: every single game is absolutely winnable for the Texans. Absolutely winnable. Yeah, 1647 01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 15: saying there it's a slam dunk. They're going to roll 1648 01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:49,040 Speaker 15: the table or win, you know, run the table. But 1649 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:52,120 Speaker 15: every single one of these final five winnable. 1650 01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. 1651 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:56,000 Speaker 2: I mean there are some that dabble in that the 1652 01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:58,559 Speaker 2: dark arts that will tell you that they'll be favored 1653 01:14:58,560 --> 01:14:59,800 Speaker 2: in every game the rest of the year. 1654 01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:01,840 Speaker 16: Now, do you think they'd be favored against Indy? I mean, 1655 01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:05,080 Speaker 16: you got one, I know, I know they would say that. 1656 01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:08,200 Speaker 16: I'm with I think the Indie game would be close. 1657 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:10,559 Speaker 16: And it also kind of depends on what's on the 1658 01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:12,639 Speaker 16: line in that Indie game, right by the way, But. 1659 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:16,080 Speaker 15: All things being equal, I like the quarterback that's suiting 1660 01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:17,800 Speaker 15: up for this team better than the one. 1661 01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:19,559 Speaker 7: Oh I do for that one, and I think that 1662 01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:20,479 Speaker 7: one's a good one, And I. 1663 01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,599 Speaker 2: Think that's probably that's probably the reason that the Texans 1664 01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,040 Speaker 2: are going to end up being favored the rest of 1665 01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:29,880 Speaker 2: the way. So if you look at it, you got Jets, Titans, Browns, Titans, Colts, Jets. 1666 01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:33,000 Speaker 2: You don't know who the quarterback is Titans, it's Will Levis, 1667 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:38,599 Speaker 2: Browns it's you don't know, probably Flacco, probably Flacco, maybe 1668 01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:43,040 Speaker 2: dtr you don't know, Levis again, and then you got 1669 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:45,519 Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew. Well for the Colts to very you know, 1670 01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 2: at the end of the season, as it looks as 1671 01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,240 Speaker 2: it looks right now, well, you know there have been murderers, 1672 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:52,960 Speaker 2: rows of quarterbacks that texts have faced over the years. 1673 01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,920 Speaker 1: This this is not that you do have to play 1674 01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:56,639 Speaker 1: three games. 1675 01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,720 Speaker 2: On the road, these next two back to back, and 1676 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 2: you know, if you're kind of if you're kind of 1677 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 2: playing it out, I mean, yeah, you're playing two four 1678 01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,880 Speaker 2: and eight teams, But I don't want to say you 1679 01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:10,880 Speaker 2: want to split. You have to get a split out 1680 01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,240 Speaker 2: of it. You have to win your two games at home. 1681 01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:14,920 Speaker 2: There's no doubt. You have to beat the browns of 1682 01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,519 Speaker 2: the Titans at home. So if you split these two, 1683 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,960 Speaker 2: you get those two. Now you're three and one with 1684 01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:25,200 Speaker 2: one to go, and you don't know what I mean, 1685 01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:26,960 Speaker 2: you have no idea. I mean, the playoffs could start 1686 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:28,720 Speaker 2: that weekend. You know, you got to you gotta win 1687 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,880 Speaker 2: to get in uh sort of thing. So you never 1688 01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:33,519 Speaker 2: know what's gonna happen in week eighteen. You know, Mark 1689 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,760 Speaker 2: and I talked about these schedules and what you're looking 1690 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:37,800 Speaker 2: at and who's got what the rest of the year. 1691 01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:41,080 Speaker 2: And you could argue the Texans have the quote unquote 1692 01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,720 Speaker 2: easier road, but you know it's hard to say. You know, 1693 01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:46,719 Speaker 2: the Bengals, you know, you looked at it two weeks ago, 1694 01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,800 Speaker 2: the cult of the Bengals coming up in Sancy. Well, 1695 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,600 Speaker 2: they're thinking it's Jake Browning, He's you see what you 1696 01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:55,880 Speaker 2: did against the Steelers, will hammer him. Well, then you 1697 01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,240 Speaker 2: look at Jake Browning against the Jaguars. He beats the Jaguars. 1698 01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:00,559 Speaker 2: I'm one at football. And now the game's back and Cincy. 1699 01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:03,120 Speaker 2: So that game went from being would look like maybe 1700 01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:05,639 Speaker 2: a walk away win with the Colts to holy cow, 1701 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:09,160 Speaker 2: that could be a sixty minute fistfight. So this whole 1702 01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:11,880 Speaker 2: thing is just really crazy down the stretch. The good 1703 01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:15,360 Speaker 2: thing is of the seven and five teams that you're 1704 01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,439 Speaker 2: in with. So if you just talking that side of it, 1705 01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:21,960 Speaker 2: you beat the Steelers, you play the Browns. You lost 1706 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:26,880 Speaker 2: to the Colts, but you play them again, and then 1707 01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,320 Speaker 2: you play the I think it's a I think I 1708 01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:32,880 Speaker 2: had Browns and Colts. Yeah, so you play the Browns 1709 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,960 Speaker 2: and Colts, you beat the Steelers. So you've got you've 1710 01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,479 Speaker 2: got a really good road. You just have to take 1711 01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:42,920 Speaker 2: care of your business at this point. So you know, 1712 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,800 Speaker 2: these two road games are gonna be tough. Outdoors, cold weather, 1713 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:48,759 Speaker 2: presumably outdoors in the rain this weekend. 1714 01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:50,320 Speaker 1: You never know what you're gonna get Tennessee. 1715 01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:53,599 Speaker 2: So you just I'm not saying I want to split, 1716 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:56,680 Speaker 2: But if you end up getting a split out of that, 1717 01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:58,559 Speaker 2: and you just take care of your business at home, 1718 01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,000 Speaker 2: you'll be three and one going into the So you'll 1719 01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,560 Speaker 2: be ten and six going into the final game, and 1720 01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:05,960 Speaker 2: ten and six teams have typically gotten into the playoffs. 1721 01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,400 Speaker 2: But you gotta beat the right teams. The Colts would 1722 01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:09,839 Speaker 2: have to be that right team to beat. 1723 01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:11,439 Speaker 7: I want to be greedy. I don't want to split. 1724 01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:12,240 Speaker 7: I know you don't need to. 1725 01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to. 1726 01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:14,559 Speaker 7: I know you want to be greedy too, but let's 1727 01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:15,080 Speaker 7: let's just. 1728 01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:17,080 Speaker 2: I'm just saying that if you want to make the playoffs, 1729 01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:18,600 Speaker 2: you gotta have a split. 1730 01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,840 Speaker 15: Right right right, I know it's all good. No cream 1731 01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:26,040 Speaker 15: of the crop crop, thank you, Macha man. So Monday morning, 1732 01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,479 Speaker 15: who are we gonna say, you know, presuming a Texans victory, 1733 01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:33,680 Speaker 15: who's our Cream of the Crop award winner gonna be. 1734 01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:35,839 Speaker 15: I know, it's so tricky doing this on a Wednesday 1735 01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:37,760 Speaker 15: morning before we see I know, because it seems like 1736 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,720 Speaker 15: every Wednesday afternoon it's like, why the hell didn't that 1737 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:41,560 Speaker 15: guy practice? 1738 01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:43,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, we get stunned. 1739 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:45,479 Speaker 2: I think one of our guys was Brevin Jordan last week, 1740 01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:47,400 Speaker 2: felt like, all right, Brev's gonna get out and breath. 1741 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:51,240 Speaker 1: Good choice, good good choice by us. I'm gonna go. 1742 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Robert Woods. 1743 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:59,080 Speaker 2: You know, Bobby Trees the last few weeks not a feature. 1744 01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:00,559 Speaker 2: You know, it's funny going back. I can watch in 1745 01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,880 Speaker 2: the game and they beat the heck out of him. Inside. 1746 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,679 Speaker 2: I feel bad for Robert because a lot of times 1747 01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:08,040 Speaker 2: he's running all those those dirty routes. Inside, he's getting bumped, 1748 01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:10,639 Speaker 2: he's getting nudged, he's getting held, all that. 1749 01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:11,240 Speaker 1: Kind of stuff. 1750 01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:15,559 Speaker 2: I just feel like this week against the Jets, the 1751 01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:19,320 Speaker 2: ball's got to come out of CJ's hands quickly. And 1752 01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:21,920 Speaker 2: to be able to do that, I think it's got 1753 01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:26,720 Speaker 2: to be savvy zone finding whole finding receivers that have 1754 01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:28,920 Speaker 2: experienced in Robert Woods as the first one that comes 1755 01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:31,160 Speaker 2: to mind and he's not had one of those big 1756 01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:31,879 Speaker 2: ball games. 1757 01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,520 Speaker 1: He's been steady and he's been reliable. 1758 01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:36,920 Speaker 2: I feel like in a game in which the ball's 1759 01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,920 Speaker 2: got to come out of CJ's hands quickly, it's got 1760 01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:41,439 Speaker 2: to come out hot, and it's kind of gonna come 1761 01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 2: out fast, he's gonna have to go like you getting 1762 01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:45,599 Speaker 2: it in Baltimore. Now, it's a long long time ago, 1763 01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:47,519 Speaker 2: but against Baltimore it was the same kind of thing. 1764 01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:49,320 Speaker 1: Third down, who do you look up? He looked up 1765 01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:49,920 Speaker 1: Robert Woods. 1766 01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:51,200 Speaker 2: I think this is going to be that kind of 1767 01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,720 Speaker 2: offensive game, and Robert's gonna have to end up being 1768 01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,080 Speaker 2: that guy doing all some of the dirty work on inside. 1769 01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:58,200 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Robert Woods. 1770 01:19:58,320 --> 01:19:58,720 Speaker 7: I like that. 1771 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:01,599 Speaker 15: I'm gonna add on to that because I still think 1772 01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:03,920 Speaker 15: you're gonna see one hundred yard game from him or 1773 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:06,439 Speaker 15: too maybe, And I know the time is bleeding now, 1774 01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,479 Speaker 15: but I've been saying that since they they sort of 1775 01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,519 Speaker 15: started getting rolling in Week four. He's gonna get his 1776 01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,360 Speaker 15: and I that's a good choice because there will be 1777 01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:19,360 Speaker 15: attention on Nico Collins. There will be attention on Noel Brown, 1778 01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:21,280 Speaker 15: even though he had a tough not tough, but he 1779 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:23,360 Speaker 15: just you know, he had a quieter day on Sunday. 1780 01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:27,360 Speaker 15: I do think that's a good choice. Here's my Stream 1781 01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:30,920 Speaker 15: of the Crop award winner to be the cream of 1782 01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:35,920 Speaker 15: the crop. It's Blake Cashman, former New York Jet and 1783 01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:39,280 Speaker 15: I bet thankful, but I bet he's thankful. Hey, they 1784 01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:41,439 Speaker 15: gave me a shot in the league. I got some 1785 01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:45,600 Speaker 15: chances there. But hey, guys, you traded me away for 1786 01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,519 Speaker 15: a late round pick. I'm not playing like a late 1787 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:53,280 Speaker 15: round pick. I'm getting significant snaps.

But 1823 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 2: the fact that you had the four guys that you 1824 01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:19,519 Speaker 2: wanted to start the year with healthy and ready to go, and. 1825 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:21,519 Speaker 1: They all made and they all made they all made 1826 01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:23,920 Speaker 1: place they did.

She knows everything 1853 01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:44,639 Speaker 15: you need to know about the New York Jets. She's 1854 01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:45,720 Speaker 15: been with him a while. 1855 01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,320 Speaker 7: And interesting times. 1856 01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:52,240 Speaker 15: They're interesting times here and these two teams are gonna clash. 1857 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:54,559 Speaker 15: This defense is the thing that stands out to Texans 1858 01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:58,000 Speaker 15: fans and everybody the most as far as the biggest 1859 01:23:58,240 --> 01:23:59,559 Speaker 15: threat facing CJ. 1860 01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:00,559 Speaker 7: Stroud Company. 1861 01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,599 Speaker 15: These guys are rock solid at just about every level 1862 01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,160 Speaker 15: of the defense. What's been most impressive to you, Caroline 1863 01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:07,680 Speaker 15: with what they've been able to do this year, some 1864 01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:09,719 Speaker 15: of the struggles and challenges they've faced. 1865 01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:13,679 Speaker 17: Yeah, I think this defense is truly one of a kind. 1866 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:16,720 Speaker 17: And I know early this season in training camp they 1867 01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:19,679 Speaker 17: wanted to they were talking about being that number one defense, 1868 01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,920 Speaker 17: and they have really latched onto that goal and kind 1869 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,280 Speaker 17: of taken off with it. Every position, like you've said, 1870 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 17: has a stud or multiple studs at it. So like 1871 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,240 Speaker 17: you have the defensive back groups with Michael Carter the 1872 01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,960 Speaker 17: second who I don't think gets enough of a like 1873 01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:38,759 Speaker 17: shine because he's also partnered with Dj Reed and Sauce Gardner, 1874 01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,799 Speaker 17: who are two incredible cornerbacks and who shut down almost 1875 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,160 Speaker 17: every wide receiver they go against every week. But then 1876 01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:46,800 Speaker 17: you have two linebackers who could go to the Pro 1877 01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:48,160 Speaker 17: Bowl this year in CJ. 1878 01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:49,639 Speaker 18: Moseley and Quincy Williams. 1879 01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:52,599 Speaker 17: Quincy Williams is having like his best year that I've 1880 01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:55,559 Speaker 17: ever seen him play football in. And then of course 1881 01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:58,320 Speaker 17: the defensive line is just out of control and they 1882 01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:01,439 Speaker 17: have so many good play that just rotate through that 1883 01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 17: defensive line, and one being Bryce Huff who is having 1884 01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:07,720 Speaker 17: a bit of a breakout year with the amount of 1885 01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:11,479 Speaker 17: pressures that he gets, and Jermaine Johnson, who is a 1886 01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:15,479 Speaker 17: rookie last year and has been having an incredible sophomore season. 1887 01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:20,400 Speaker 17: So I just think that this group really is kind 1888 01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:23,120 Speaker 17: of getting better each week and fixing a lot of 1889 01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:26,800 Speaker 17: the maybe weaker points of their game. So like last week, 1890 01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:29,559 Speaker 17: for example, against the Falcons, they had been letting up 1891 01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:32,639 Speaker 17: one hundred and forty rush yards per game, right they 1892 01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:35,559 Speaker 17: only let the Falcons rush for ninety So it's those 1893 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,519 Speaker 17: kinds of incremental steps that they're taking each week that 1894 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:41,320 Speaker 17: I think it makes them a really special group and 1895 01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,559 Speaker 17: really hard to play against, especially on the road for 1896 01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:44,120 Speaker 17: the Texans. 1897 01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,240 Speaker 15: Caroline Hendershot of the New York Jets covers the team 1898 01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,559 Speaker 15: up there, just ticked off a list of names who 1899 01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:52,599 Speaker 15: have been super impressive. It's a real luxury to have, 1900 01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:54,960 Speaker 15: you know. One of those names is Sauce Garger. He 1901 01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,400 Speaker 15: has looked every bit the part of a top five 1902 01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:58,880 Speaker 15: picks since he arrived there here or. 1903 01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:00,960 Speaker 7: So ago has any Yeah, he has. 1904 01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:05,400 Speaker 17: Like I think last year, everyone didn't maybe expect him 1905 01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,280 Speaker 17: to come out in his rookie season and have the 1906 01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:10,760 Speaker 17: kind of dominant performance that he did and get put 1907 01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:13,920 Speaker 17: against some of these NFL veterans that he went against 1908 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:17,439 Speaker 17: and shut them down as well. And he has just 1909 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 17: been a very consistent force back there, and I think 1910 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,760 Speaker 17: that really helps the d line because they know that 1911 01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:27,720 Speaker 17: they don't maybe have to get to the quarterback and 1912 01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:30,200 Speaker 17: their first move. Maybe they can get to the quarterback 1913 01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:33,240 Speaker 17: and their second or their third move because Sauce is 1914 01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:36,439 Speaker 17: not letting the quarterback throw the ball as quickly as 1915 01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:39,759 Speaker 17: they would probably like to. So he is really really dominant. 1916 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:43,080 Speaker 17: And DJ Reid too, Like I know that Sauce is 1917 01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:45,880 Speaker 17: the flashy name, but DJ Reid has been out of 1918 01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,120 Speaker 17: this world as well, and he played at a Pro 1919 01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:50,320 Speaker 17: Bowl level last year and I think is playing again 1920 01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:51,639 Speaker 17: at a Pro Bowl level this year. 1921 01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:54,800 Speaker 18: So two really really good quarterbacks. 1922 01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,120 Speaker 15: Of those personalities that you deal with there and get 1923 01:26:57,200 --> 01:26:59,040 Speaker 15: to interact with on the defensive side of the ball. 1924 01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,439 Speaker 15: Who's been the surprising to you. 1925 01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:06,160 Speaker 17: That's a really good question because I feel like it's 1926 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:09,560 Speaker 17: funny because I feel like a lot of the defense 1927 01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:13,400 Speaker 17: is like really loud and kind of just in your 1928 01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:15,800 Speaker 17: face and like they know we're gonna come at you 1929 01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,800 Speaker 17: with all we got and whatnot. But Sauce is kind 1930 01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:20,920 Speaker 17: of and I'm he flips a switch when he's on 1931 01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,639 Speaker 17: the field, I'm sure, But Sauce is definitely like very 1932 01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:27,160 Speaker 17: just kind of like reserved, and he's very similar to 1933 01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:30,240 Speaker 17: Garrett Wilson in the sense that they just seem very 1934 01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,240 Speaker 17: mature beyond their years, Like you would never guess that 1935 01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,120 Speaker 17: they are as young as they are, and they just 1936 01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:38,160 Speaker 17: kind of have this wisdom about themselves and they carry 1937 01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:41,200 Speaker 17: themselves in a way where you're like, oh, I like 1938 01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:43,599 Speaker 17: would have never guessed that you're only in your second year. 1939 01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:46,719 Speaker 17: You seem so much older and like you've been through 1940 01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:49,640 Speaker 17: so much more. And Sauce has spoken about this, and 1941 01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:51,840 Speaker 17: he said a lot of that is because of kind 1942 01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:54,120 Speaker 17: of the tutelage that he's gotten from DJ Reid. 1943 01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:56,679 Speaker 15: It's gonna be fun to see who those guys matches 1944 01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:02,000 Speaker 15: up with. Nico Collins is Robert and yep, Noah Brown 1945 01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:05,080 Speaker 15: Tech Texas gonna be without Tank Dell. Unfortunately he was. 1946 01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,320 Speaker 15: He was ripping things up here in Houston as a rookie. 1947 01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:12,000 Speaker 15: Seven touchdowns already. That's a franchise record for catches by 1948 01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,960 Speaker 15: a rookie touchdown wise in a season. Yeah, tell me 1949 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,639 Speaker 15: about Robert Sala and the job he's done, because one 1950 01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,720 Speaker 15: of the storylines entering this one is the Demico Ryans 1951 01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,559 Speaker 15: and Sala connection. We of course, old people like me 1952 01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,960 Speaker 15: remember when Sala was a really low level assistant here 1953 01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,000 Speaker 15: with the Houston Texans, you know, when he was getting 1954 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,320 Speaker 15: his start in the NFL and Gary Kubiak was the 1955 01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:34,760 Speaker 15: head coach at the time. Sala was kind of a 1956 01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,679 Speaker 15: holdover from the previous regime and Kubiak was just super 1957 01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:41,360 Speaker 15: impressed with Sala, always being around the building, always having 1958 01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:42,679 Speaker 15: a good idea or two for such. 1959 01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:44,799 Speaker 7: A young guy. But what have you seen from Sala 1960 01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:45,639 Speaker 7: and you. 1961 01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:48,240 Speaker 15: Know the dynamic that we're gonna hear storyline wise with 1962 01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:49,759 Speaker 15: Demiko Ryans coming up this week. 1963 01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:54,120 Speaker 17: Yeah, I think Sala is just a coach that obviously 1964 01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:57,639 Speaker 17: his defensive background is so deep and you can see 1965 01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:00,599 Speaker 17: that in the Jets defense in today's like and how 1966 01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,280 Speaker 17: they play and all of the preparation that goes into it. 1967 01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:06,719 Speaker 18: But I think something that maybe just like. 1968 01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,599 Speaker 17: Gets grazed over with Robert Sala is just how detail 1969 01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:11,519 Speaker 17: oriented he is. 1970 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,200 Speaker 18: He truly is like always in the building. 1971 01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:16,479 Speaker 17: There's never a time that he's not here, and he 1972 01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:19,800 Speaker 17: is making sure each player is really on their piece 1973 01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:22,960 Speaker 17: and q's and he always says like football is a 1974 01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:25,400 Speaker 17: game of inches and it comes down to those little moments, 1975 01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:29,520 Speaker 17: and he gets really on the guys about small penalties 1976 01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:31,320 Speaker 17: that we can fix because there's been a lot of 1977 01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:34,800 Speaker 17: penalties this year and the difference in penalties. Sometimes he's like, 1978 01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:37,360 Speaker 17: I like the aggression that they play with, So there's 1979 01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:39,519 Speaker 17: certain penalties where I'm okay with that, But there's other 1980 01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:41,960 Speaker 17: penalties where like, we can't have those kinds of things happen. 1981 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:44,760 Speaker 17: And he gets really on those players and you can 1982 01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:47,400 Speaker 17: see them fix these things week in and week out 1983 01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:51,679 Speaker 17: and definitely like make concerted efforts to fix these weaker 1984 01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:54,920 Speaker 17: spots within whether it's the defense, the offense, whatever, special teams. 1985 01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:58,840 Speaker 17: But I think as a coach, it obviously always comes 1986 01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:01,040 Speaker 17: down to those details, and he is a big stickler 1987 01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:01,719 Speaker 17: on those details. 1988 01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,840 Speaker 15: Caroline Hendershot of the New York Jets covers the team 1989 01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:06,559 Speaker 15: up there. It's fun to hear some of those stories 1990 01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:09,240 Speaker 15: you just mentioned, because you said every inch we hear 1991 01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:11,960 Speaker 15: Demiko Ryans quite often say, you know, fight for that 1992 01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:14,920 Speaker 15: last blade of grass and it's come to the four 1993 01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:16,840 Speaker 15: for the Texans and a few wins this season, and 1994 01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:21,120 Speaker 15: quarterback wise, what's the story that you you think and 1995 01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:23,800 Speaker 15: know is going to happen and what are the Texans 1996 01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,120 Speaker 15: going to prepare for? Because he was asked about it, 1997 01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:28,960 Speaker 15: Demiko Ryan's about, you know, the uncertainty with the Jets 1998 01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:31,479 Speaker 15: quarterback position. He said, hey, we got to focus on ourselves. 1999 01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:34,600 Speaker 15: We got a lot to fix defensively mistake wise, But 2000 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:35,720 Speaker 15: what can you tell us from your end? 2001 01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:40,080 Speaker 17: About the quarterback coming into today when we're recording it. 2002 01:30:40,439 --> 01:30:43,160 Speaker 17: Robert Solow yesterday said that he's not there yet in 2003 01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:47,120 Speaker 17: terms of naming a starting quarterback. So obviously last week 2004 01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:49,960 Speaker 17: Tim Boyle started and then Trevor Simeon came in and 2005 01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,360 Speaker 17: Tim Boyle was actually cut today, so. 2006 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:53,759 Speaker 18: Tim Boyle is no longer on the roster. 2007 01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:58,040 Speaker 17: So right now it is looking like it's either going 2008 01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:00,880 Speaker 17: to be probably Trevor Simeon or is Zach Wilson one 2009 01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,200 Speaker 17: of those two because those two have obviously been on 2010 01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:06,519 Speaker 17: the roster and playing and practicing with the team for 2011 01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:07,360 Speaker 17: the longest. 2012 01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:10,799 Speaker 18: As of right now, who between the two of them, not. 2013 01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:12,840 Speaker 17: Sure who it will be, but we did hear that 2014 01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:16,759 Speaker 17: Salah said that Zack Wilson went into Robert Sala's office 2015 01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:19,400 Speaker 17: and kind of made a case for himself of why 2016 01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:21,640 Speaker 17: he wants to start, why he thinks he should be 2017 01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:24,639 Speaker 17: starting and playing for this team. So it will come 2018 01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:26,920 Speaker 17: down to Robert Sala and what he thinks is the 2019 01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:29,880 Speaker 17: best after watching the tape from Sunday and kind of 2020 01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,919 Speaker 17: making that overall decision. But that is all the information 2021 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,080 Speaker 17: that they have right now, whether they'll name a starter 2022 01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:37,400 Speaker 17: tomorrow or whether it will be later in the week. 2023 01:31:37,439 --> 01:31:39,439 Speaker 17: We're not sure, So it's kind of a wait and 2024 01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:42,360 Speaker 17: see game, which I don't know if that is an 2025 01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:46,280 Speaker 17: advantage for the Jets. Maybe having the Texans keep them 2026 01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:49,000 Speaker 17: on their toes, but we'll just have to wait and see. 2027 01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:53,400 Speaker 15: Yeah, and weapons wise, whoever's throwing the ball, who is 2028 01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:56,599 Speaker 15: kind of on the rise in your estimation as far 2029 01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:58,080 Speaker 15: as look out for this guy. He's been playing a 2030 01:31:58,080 --> 01:31:59,760 Speaker 15: little bit better, He's getting more targets, so on and 2031 01:31:59,800 --> 01:32:01,960 Speaker 15: so forth. Could be a receiver, could be a running back, 2032 01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:02,680 Speaker 15: could be a tight end. 2033 01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:07,000 Speaker 17: This is a really good question because I think everyone 2034 01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:10,400 Speaker 17: obviously knows the big names like Garrett Wilson and Bruce Hall, right, 2035 01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:13,880 Speaker 17: those two stars at wide receiver and running back. But 2036 01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:18,720 Speaker 17: I think someone that is growing each week is Xavier Gibson. Now, 2037 01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:21,759 Speaker 17: he was the wide receiver who actually returned the punt 2038 01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:24,320 Speaker 17: against the overtime win against the Bills in Week one 2039 01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:26,200 Speaker 17: back way back in September. 2040 01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:30,040 Speaker 15: I believe, right, yeah, yes he was. Yes, he was 2041 01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:34,000 Speaker 15: a Jack's hand signal, so we do exactly. 2042 01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:38,400 Speaker 17: So I think that he has been getting more and 2043 01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:40,559 Speaker 17: more targets each week, and he has. 2044 01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:42,639 Speaker 18: Been making something of them. Each week. 2045 01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:46,200 Speaker 17: So I think he's definitely someone that the Texans fans 2046 01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:49,200 Speaker 17: should be kind of on the lookout for. He's definitely rising. 2047 01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:52,719 Speaker 17: I talked to him after last week's game against the Falcons, 2048 01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:53,759 Speaker 17: and he was like, there's. 2049 01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,840 Speaker 18: Still so much that I have to work on, but 2050 01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:56,439 Speaker 18: I do. 2051 01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:58,400 Speaker 17: Think that I'm kind of catching up with the speed 2052 01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:00,479 Speaker 17: of the game and playing a little bit faster and 2053 01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:04,040 Speaker 17: picking up on those like small tendencies that rookies tend 2054 01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:06,760 Speaker 17: to not have right at the jump. And so I'm 2055 01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:09,360 Speaker 17: excited to see kind of his career continue to go 2056 01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:10,400 Speaker 17: and grow. 2057 01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:13,559 Speaker 15: You know, this Jets team is an interesting one because 2058 01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:16,639 Speaker 15: it was totally written off when Aaron Rodgers went down, 2059 01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:18,840 Speaker 15: and then you know, they were hanging around and doing 2060 01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:21,559 Speaker 15: some things going through a stretch that's tough right now, 2061 01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:25,599 Speaker 15: but clearly they're not a group that makes it easy 2062 01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:27,719 Speaker 15: on you and has given up. Where do you see 2063 01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:31,240 Speaker 15: and what do you think resiliency? What sort of reservoir 2064 01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:34,719 Speaker 15: of resiliency is there with this this squad in your estimation? 2065 01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:37,960 Speaker 17: Yeah, I've talked to a lot of them obviously after 2066 01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:41,080 Speaker 17: these past couple games where they've been on a little 2067 01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:43,080 Speaker 17: bit of a losing stretch. But I think that what 2068 01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:46,759 Speaker 17: stands out to me the most is just the same 2069 01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:50,160 Speaker 17: standard that they hold themselves to, Like no matter what's 2070 01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:52,680 Speaker 17: going on around them, no matter what is happening, no 2071 01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:56,720 Speaker 17: matter if they're winning or losing, they continuously hold themselves 2072 01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:59,439 Speaker 17: to this standard. And I think that you know, Aaron 2073 01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:02,160 Speaker 17: Rodgers earlier today on the Pat McFee show, and he said, 2074 01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:05,400 Speaker 17: it's gonna show a lot about what kind of professionals 2075 01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:08,519 Speaker 17: these guys are and how they finish the next like 2076 01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:12,519 Speaker 17: so on games, because it just really comes down to 2077 01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:15,200 Speaker 17: maybe things aren't working out exactly as you expected them, 2078 01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:18,519 Speaker 17: but like, what are you doing to kind of put 2079 01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:20,840 Speaker 17: your all in and change this? And I know a 2080 01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:24,599 Speaker 17: lot of the guys are having that mindset, So I 2081 01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,120 Speaker 17: look forward to kind of seeing them battle this and 2082 01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:28,880 Speaker 17: try and bounce back from this streak. 2083 01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:31,759 Speaker 2: I'm all for keeping the streak going, the Texans winning 2084 01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:34,519 Speaker 2: streak that is, and the Jets losing streak. But we'll 2085 01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:38,800 Speaker 2: see what happens on Sunday against the Jets. Appreciate you 2086 01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:42,920 Speaker 2: guys for being here with me. Appreciate Caroline, Appreciate Drew 2087 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:46,000 Speaker 2: Jerty for being here. Bob was shoes and Mark vandermir 2088 01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:49,880 Speaker 2: We have Brevin Jordan, We had Kennedy Smith, we had 2089 01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:52,640 Speaker 2: Bruce Feldman popping in with a little cameo from the 2090 01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:55,240 Speaker 2: sound he gave me. Appreciate you guys all for listening 2091 01:34:55,320 --> 01:34:57,000 Speaker 2: and being part of this experience this year. 2092 01:34:57,040 --> 01:34:59,400 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. We'll see you tomorrow and as always, 2093 01:34:59,400 --> 01:34:59,960 Speaker 1: go Texans.
