1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,120
Speaker 1: And here it is.

2
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 2: The Texans twenty twenty four schedule is out. We finally

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 2: have it, Johnny. Let's react. First of all four primetime

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: night games, yeah, and six what I would call national

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: window games, which a lot of people consider primetime like

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: Christmas for instance.

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: And there's one other one that would.

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: Be when we get the Thursday night's, two Sunday nights

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: to get a Monday night and a Saturday game against

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs, which will be a national window

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: on December twenty.

12
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: First.

13
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're going to play five of the six days

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 3: that the NFL offers football. Now, one of those days

15
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 3: is Friday, and you have a Black Friday game, and

16
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 3: that's it. You don't really technically play Tuesday Friday. Texans

17
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 3: will play in every single day right Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday.

18
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: That's amazing, incredible to think it's their first primetimes well

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: Sunday night game at home since when New.

20
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: England Patriots twenty nineteen. Wow, when the Texans stay. I've

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: been in the step into the arena in Archie Stadium.

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 3: On September fifteenth, it will have been one thousand, seven

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty days since they last played a Sunday

24
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: night football game.

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: That might be the stat of this schedule.

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot I like about this, a lot

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: of numbers that I like about it.

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have two of the four night games, right.

29
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: Three of them will take place in Texas, Okay, two

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 3: in Houston, one in Dallas. You have that tricky little

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: Halloween game, Yeah, taking on the Jets.

32
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: We'll get to that, life, We'll get to that.

33
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 3: But you got four of those four primetime games, four

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: night primetime games, and then, of course the one that

35
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people when they saw it

36
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: come out on Wednesday, they just kind of went because

37
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: I kind of had the same reaction I saw it

38
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: too initially, Ravens Christmas Day. Yeah, not even a week

39
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: after you play the Chiefs at Arrowhead.

40
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: But that's something we knew was coming in the schedule.

41
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: We just didn't know the Texans were going to be

42
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: a We knew that there was going to be a

43
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: Saturday slate and those teams would funnel into a Christmas

44
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: Day double header at the very least, which will be

45
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: on Netflix, which will be interesting. I want to hear

46
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: more about that. How they're going to handle NFL production.

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: But the Texans have a Christmas Wednesday game. It is bizarre.

48
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: They've played on Christmas Day before. We have the Steelers

49
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: here in twenty seventeen and all that. This is the

50
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: Ravens coming in on Christmas. And I think with this

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: schedule there are a few things, Sorr. Let's start from

52
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: the beginning here. I've always wanted to see the Texans

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: open up at Indie. Now this is in the Dutch

54
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: wish of the Horseshoe being the dreaded horseshoe.

55
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: They still are to me.

56
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: And I know that I heard earlier in the day

57
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: that they were gonna have no primetime games. I haven't

58
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: checked out if that was true. But you're at the

59
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: Colts to open the season a noon start, and I'm

60
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: all about that. Johnny rip off the band Aid, Go

61
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: take on the Nemesis at their place, knock them down,

62
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: and come back to take on the Bears on Sunday

63
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: Night football Week two.

64
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: I Bears first of all. I saw Bears in Week

65
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: two and I went WHOA. Then I saw Sunday Night

66
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: foot Wait did I read that right? And that's when

67
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: I did the math on the seventeen hundred and fifty

68
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: days between Sunday night football regular season games.

69
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: Getting the Bears.

70
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: So you're gonna get one of the things I like

71
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: to look at as you look at things kind of

72
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 3: in pods and stretches. You're gonna face Anthony Richardson who

73
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 3: has two NFL starts right week one. You're gonna face

74
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: Kayleb Williams in week two, he has no NFL starts one.

75
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: At that point, you would presume.

76
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: Think week three, you go to Minnesota, Oh, JJJJ McCarthy,

77
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: he at that point will have no more than two

78
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: NFL starts, and then that face. Then you face Trevor

79
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: Lawrence at home. Then you get Trevor Lawrence and Josh Allen. Well,

80
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: you get Josh Allen and back to back weeks. It's

81
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: just you get Josh Allen to the Jags one week,

82
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: Josh Allen quarterback for the Bills the next week.

83
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: That's interesting.

84
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: So here's one of the things that I always I

85
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: always find interesting because you know sideline, I get, I

86
00:03:59,080 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: get weather situation.

87
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: Yes, so we play preseason.

88
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: We play at Pittsburgh second week after the Hall of

89
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: Fame game, technically the first week. Then we have two

90
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: home preseason games then we go to Indy inside at home, inside, Chicago,

91
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 3: at Minnesota, inside Jacksonville home, inside Buffalo Bill's home inside.

92
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: We don't go back outside to play a game until

93
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 3: we go to New England and to Green Bay and

94
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: those back to back weeks.

95
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: And that's in October. So who knows about the weather

96
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: at that point. We've been talking about it for weeks.

97
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: You've never won a Jillette Stadium. Got your chance October thirteenth, Lambeau.

98
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: It's the first time they play at Lambeau out of

99
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 2: December ever, right, correct, the third visit.

100
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: Third year.

101
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: Both times we played in December, we get an October

102
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 3: twenty seventh trip to green Bay. Sorry, October twentieth. Now

103
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: there is no guarantee that you won't have snow. October

104
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: twenty Wisconsin. You could have it. Yeah, my parents will

105
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 3: text me all the time.

106
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: It's knowing.

107
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: Today I look up and go, wait, it's October twenty eighth. Yeah,

108
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: so it can't happen. Hope it doesn't, but it could happen.

109
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: But both of those Newton Kicks, New Kicks Patriots. I

110
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: like it, Johnny.

111
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: And now you have Indianapolis at home after the Green

112
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: Bay trip on October twenty seventh. And here is where

113
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: it gets really interesting. You have three primetime showdowns in

114
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: a row. This is following a date at Green Bay

115
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: and a date against Indianapolis. So this is a gauntlet

116
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: part of the schedule, and there are two of them

117
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: as I see it here. So at green Bay, come

118
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: home to face the dreaded despised Horseshoe the Colts. Then

119
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: short week taking on the Jets at the Meadowlands.

120
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: This is dicey. You've got a flat on a Wednesday.

121
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: It's a pretty long trip for the Texans to go

122
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: up to the Big Apple and play. You're gonna take

123
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: them on Thursday night, you come home, you get the

124
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: mini bi I like that into a November tenth game

125
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: against the Lions on Sunday night football.

126
00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: Wow.

127
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: So you got prime time, then primetime again against the Lions,

128
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: and then another long week because the following Monday you'll

129
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: take on the Cowboys November eighteenth.

130
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: Sign me up.

131
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: It's three to a row National Television Jets, Lions, Cowboys,

132
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: and two of them on the road.

133
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: Obviously.

134
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

135
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And it's interesting because you'll have the short week

136
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: before the Jets. Then you get the mini by before

137
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: you play the Lions. Then you get an extra day

138
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: because you're playing at Dallas and for a Monday night

139
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: game on the road, to be such a short trip

140
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: is fantastic.

141
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: Yep.

142
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: I mean it's still you lose a day, but you

143
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: don't lose too much because if you had to go

144
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: travel to play Seattle on Monday night, now you're essentially

145
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: losing Monday and you can't even start Tuesday on time.

146
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: To get yourself prepared for luck. I love that, so

147
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: it's perfect from that perspective.

148
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: So then you follow up that with Tennessee at Jacksonville,

149
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: and finally in week fourteen, all right, the bye, the bye,

150
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: which you told me you reach research this right at

151
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: all latest they've ever had to buy, latest they've ever

152
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: had to buy. It's the latest you can have to

153
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: buy in the NFL Week fourteen. All right, here's what

154
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: I like about that gauntlet.

155
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:12,119
Speaker 1: Right there.

156
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: You do get the long week after the Jets game

157
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: to face the Lines. Then you get another longest week

158
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: to face the Cowboys on Monday Night football. Then it's

159
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: a short week, but it's the Tennessee Titans at home,

160
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: which I don't want to look past anybody but if

161
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: you're going to get an opponent that if you could

162
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: hand pick one of your home opponents to play after

163
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: the Cowboy Monday night, or.

164
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: You would have said Tennessee.

165
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: So they gave it to you, and who knows how

166
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: it works out, maybe they upset you, but that's what

167
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: you would have picked. Then at the Jags December first,

168
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: and then as you pointed out, the bye and you

169
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: need it right there because we all know they had

170
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: the buye too early last year.

171
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: They needed rest.

172
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: Holy cow, these final four they get really tough, all right.

173
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: So you have four games left at that point, and

174
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: the first three of those four ridiculous. You get the

175
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: Dolphins on December fifteenth, that's a Sunday noon or on CBS.

176
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: By the way, no Fox games on the schedule as

177
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,119
Speaker 2: of now. Things can change. Then at Kansas City, short

178
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: week Saturday, fly out Friday to go take on the

179
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: Chiefs at Arrowhead, the freaking Chiefs. It's a noon start,

180
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: which I like because you have a very short week

181
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: after that.

182
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: It's more like a Monday, I mean a.

183
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: Sunday Thursday, as you have a Saturday Wednesday. Because you

184
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: took on the Chiefs at Arrowhead before taking on the

185
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: Ravens on Christmas Day at home. Yes, three point thirty

186
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: starts so kind of late in the day ish, right,

187
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: and you have the early ish in the day on Saturday.

188
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: Look, these things do matter.

189
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: An extra hour or two sometimes helps, and especially mentally,

190
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: as you're getting ready to take on very tough opponents

191
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: consecutively Dolphins, Chiefs, Ravens, Bang, bang bang, and then you

192
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: get a long week a mini bye again before you

193
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: take on the Tennessee Titans. So if you're not the

194
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: top seed going into the playoffs, at least you got

195
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: a little blow before the Titans finisher up there week eighteen,

196
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: and maybe, just maybe you're in good enough shape where

197
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: that game quote won't matter and you'll be able to.

198
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: Rest some guys. But who knows.

199
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, very much so, so the things obviously we already

200
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: talked about the late by week.

201
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: I would rather be a little bit earlier. But okay,

202
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: that's fine. Yeah, but I pointed out you get some

203
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 2: long weeks. No, you do for that, so that's kind

204
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: of nice. You do have two short weeks.

205
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: You do have two, I say in the air quotes Thursday games,

206
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: even though I know the Christmas one is on Yeah,

207
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: you have two.

208
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: Short weeks that are like that, and those teams do.

209
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: Though I don't even have to look. I can tell

210
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: you right now if that's sure.

211
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: If I took the Chiefs, the Bills, the forty nine ers,

212
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure they both. I mean all they all have

213
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: at least two shortish weeks.

214
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

215
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: The stretch of three prime time games the at Jets Thursday,

216
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: Detroit Lions Sunday Football, Monday Night Football against the Cowboys,

217
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: that stretch will be as fun as stretch as we've

218
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: had in a long time. The fact that we're having

219
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 3: three straight primetime games is just incredible. And the fact

220
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: that we finish with Dolphins at Chief Saturday, Ravens Christmas Day.

221
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: I just I know, you know, some people will see the.

222
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: Christmas Day game and go, ah, you know, I didn't

223
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: want to play that. You know what you're getting, you're getting.

224
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: First of all, it's gonna be on Netflix, and so

225
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: Netflix is gonna go out of its way to make

226
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: sure that thing is is Bonker's good. Kind of like

227
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: Amazon is done. They'll have little little things that they do.

228
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: But I think it's kind of cool. I said this

229
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: last week we were talking about the Tom Brady Roast

230
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: and we were talking about how, yeah, man, Netflix is

231
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: set up to do some pretty cool things live and well,

232
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: there you go. They've gotten that now. JJ Watt tweet out,

233
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: this is interesting. So I'm gonna hit you with this.

234
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: He said, here's what players look at. Okay, you just

235
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: give me your gut reaction when you saw all of

236
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: these number one first game, your guy, you loved it.

237
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: I know this. I love going to India Ola this season.

238
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: Let's go. Yeah.

239
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: I mean I put a big eye up in the

240
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: weight room. That's or put a big horseshoe up the horseshoe.

241
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: We want them that it's our nemesis. We have to

242
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: get them again. Let's go do it. And then he said,

243
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: bye week. How do you think the players feel about

244
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: a week fourteen?

245
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: By week?

246
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: I think they feel it's a little late. Like you said,

247
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 2: you'd like to see it week ten. If you could

248
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: hand pick it, you'd say week ten eleven. But again,

249
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: last year they really could have used to buy in December.

250
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: They're gonna get it.

251
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: This year.

252
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: You don't pick it. It is what it is. I'd

253
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: rather have it then than early. That's right.

254
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: I agree.

255
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: I agree with that, and I especially like it heading

256
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: into that three game stretch of Dolphins Chiefs.

257
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: Ravens go on and he said, any other games that

258
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 3: may disrupt routine recoveries, such as international or Monday Night football.

259
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: Here's what I don't like about being home for Christmas.

260
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: People visit during Christmas. Home prime time is tough enough,

261
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 2: it disrupts the routine.

262
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: But Christmas the road team, Oh man.

263
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: We can't spend Christmas with our families or we're gonna

264
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: fly them in.

265
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: What are we going to do? Probably not. I don't

266
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: know how the Ravens will handle this.

267
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 2: But when you're at home, you have people in the house,

268
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: and you got to be very careful with this. You know,

269
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 2: you're at home. It's great, it's Christmas, it's wonderful, but

270
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: you want to have that edge. It's kind of like

271
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving at home. You want to have that edge going

272
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: into the game, the home game. So take care of

273
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: your business.

274
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

275
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: Last one, he mentioned possible weather games, and he said

276
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: Buffalo December, Miami in September. As I just laid out,

277
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 3: you don't go outside to play a game outdoors until

278
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: middle of October at New England at Green Bay.

279
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: Then October thirty one New York. It can be dicey,

280
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: but more than likely not.

281
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: Going to be that frigid cold you could get in December,

282
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: and then at Jacksonville December first.

283
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: Like I look at those games.

284
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: Once you get to December, I kind of like any

285
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: other than rain, just without the rain. So as far

286
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: as weather goes the first thirteen games, I feel pretty

287
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: good about what that is.

288
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Now.

289
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 3: Kansas City and Tennessee, those two can get dicey in December,

290
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: but as long as it's cold, I'm fine. Cold fine rain, well,

291
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: cold wind. They don't like it because that affects throwing

292
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: the football.

293
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: We all remember what happened against the Tennessee Titans Christmas

294
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: Eve a couple of years ago. The game was actually

295
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: delayed by an hour because the weather and other factors.

296
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: But the Chiefs on December twenty first, that could go

297
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: either way, and the Titans on finishing weekend because that

298
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: could be a Saturday or Sunday game.

299
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: But I'll take my chances with that one.

300
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: I mean nine of thirteen games indoors before the bye.

301
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not bad.

302
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 3: The only place that you go outside or New England,

303
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 3: Green Bay, New York, Jacksonville Yeah.

304
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: What's interesting also is only one divisional game in your

305
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: final four.

306
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: That's weird to me.

307
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 2: That rarely happens. I don't even have to look. That's

308
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: never happened here. Maybe if it has, excused me, but

309
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: I don't believe it's ever happened here. Especially once they

310
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: put an emphasis on late season divisional opponents in the schedule,

311
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 2: which they've done in the last decade.

312
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: I don't believe I've ever seen that before.

313
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: And they're brutal with the Dolphins, Chiefs, Ravens back to

314
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: back to back.

315
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: That is a very.

316
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: Difficult finishing kick right there. Final thoughts.

317
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: I like it overall. I was a little worried.

318
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: You know, it's like, Okay, are we gonna get short

319
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 3: changing on primetime games?

320
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: Nope, not even close.

321
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: That three game stretch is going to be so great.

322
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: Nothing you can flex into Sunday night late in the season,

323
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: because it's already flexed, right, the Chiefs are on a Saturday.

324
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: You're not moving that. The Ravens are already on Christmas

325
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. I doubt that gets flexed late in the

326
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: season like that, considering you have a Chiefs game in

327
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: a short week, although they don't care, they might, that

328
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: might happen. Actually, as I say that, never mind, because

329
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: at the Jags December first, what if everything else stinks

330
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: that they have and they want to put that one

331
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: on and the Jags are doing well at the time.

332
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 3: Who knows a lot of ways this one can go.

333
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: It's weird love how it sets up at Indy. You're

334
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: facing a relatively young, inexperienced quarterbacks. You got two starts

335
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: Chargo Bears facing rookie minister of Vikings. You're facing a

336
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback. I mean right off the bat. I mean

337
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: you couldn't probably ask for anything better to start your seat.

338
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: This is October twenty seventh. They're done with Indy in

339
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: the regular season schedule. That feels as early as it's

340
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: been since twenty ten when they played them Monday Night

341
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: Football in the second game after blowing them out on

342
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: opening Day with Arian Foster going nuts and they lost

343
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: on Monday Night Football and then they were done with them.

344
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: That was week seven.

345
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 2: I want to say, so this is early to be

346
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: done with the Colts. I would think the league would

347
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: want the Texans and the Colts late in the season, considering,

348
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: you know, last couple of years Hey, the twenty twenty

349
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: two finale was meaningful in its own way, and last

350
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: year extremely meaningful anyway.

351
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: That's it.

352
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: More talk on the schedule, Texans All Access Monday through Friday,

353
