1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to everybody to a Friday addition of Texans All Access.

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, sounding very much like John

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: mccle My god, it was a very long night, mark vandomir,

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: very long night. How does this sound if I start

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: talking about Baylor, I get pretty close, don't I? Oh, yeah,

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: you do. I sound like that too. Yeah, we're we're

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: all hurting a little bit from what transpired on Friday night,

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: but we'll work ourselves into a lot of Yeah, Thursday night.

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: What did I say, I don't know. It's Friday night tonight,

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: Friday night tonight, which really is like a Sunday or

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: actually a Monday, but we didn't do Monday a live radio,

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: so it's just a little different. It's another world because

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: you're on the mini buy right now, oh boy, and

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: a week from Sunday will be the New York Giants

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: up there, Meadowlands up there. And look, Johnny, I'm excited

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: about being around this team, seeing them battle in these games.

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: Then I say the word battle, and it's too bad

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: that they just don't do it in the fourth quarter,

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: because another game where you're right there, just make some

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: plays in the fourth quarter, and I'm not saying you

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: automatically win, but you got a lot better chance and

22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: twenty one seventeen in the fourth quarter. You're right there

23
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: one more time, but nope, didn't get over the hump. Okay,

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: so do the math with me on this right, all right?

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: Week one, seventeen point lead to start the fourth quarter.

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: Week two, you're head nine to six to start the

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Is that what it was? Nine to six? Yeah,

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: geez ninety six or six to six? All right, I

29
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: can't remember when you kicked the field goal, but either way,

30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: nine to six. Third week? What Chicago is tied at

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: twenty going to the fourth quarter. That Week four, you

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: cut it to twenty seven twenty fourth, eight minutes left

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: in the game against the Chargers. Gosh, and had the ball. Wait,

34
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: that's when you kicked the field goal, right, dang? Okay?

35
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Week five, tied at six, went one at thirteen six

36
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: over the Jaguars. All right, good, that was good. Las Vegas.

37
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: You're at twenty to seventeen start the fourth quarter. To

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: start the fourth quarter, twenty to seventeen, okay. Against the

39
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: tensee Titans, you cut to seven with sixteen seconds left.

40
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: That's the only one where you fell like this one's

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: just not in. It's not happened. That's not tonight. Because

42
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: the drive they had at the end of the game

43
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: to cut it to seven, I don't know if you

44
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: can create that drive at the start of the fourth

45
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: quarter for yeah, exactly, that's a hurry up drive. Although

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: they should probably look into it, because look how the

47
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: Eagles play offense, right, this is a good point. They

48
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: play hurry up. They were getting right to the line

49
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: of scrimmage all night long. Now, sometimes the Texans would

50
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: make the stops. One time they got a turnover. In

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: one of those situations where the Eagles were rushing to

52
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: the line, Hurts got strip sacked by Steven Nelson. They

53
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: didn't pick it up. Maybe they pick it up if

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: they take their time a little bit at the line

55
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: of scrimmage to adjust for would be corner blitzes. Who knows.

56
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: But had the Texans put together that kind of drive

57
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: early in the fourth quarter, well that's a game too.

58
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: It's funny how the game in which you allowed only

59
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: seventeen points feels like the biggest blowout of the season

60
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: because it is on the stat sheet and and it

61
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: just distanced them from you. The ability to run the

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: ball at will, and the largest margin of victory was

63
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: eighteen And that was a game that you were definitely

64
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: in swapping knockout punches with Las Vegas Raiders. You just

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: can't land that knockout blow because you jump offside on

66
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: fourth and one? Are you fall start and fourth and one?

67
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: And we know all the things that happened in the

68
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: Las Vegas game. So I thought about this after we

69
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: had shot extra points last night, which you can see

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: on KTRK Mark and I and Drew Dorty hosting. Of

71
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: course you can see it on Saturday night. We talked

72
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: a lot about what happened in this particular game. And

73
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: one of the focus one of the folks, I, if

74
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: you will, Yeah, that's the plural of focus yeah fo

75
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: fo Yeah. I don't know if it's I've never known

76
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: if it's folk I or folks. I just I know

77
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: that because when you teach ellipses in algebra two, you

78
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: talk about the folks, I, the focus, the focus points.

79
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: So anyhow, one of them, I think one of the

80
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: things I'll take out of this particular ball game. And

81
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: I said it during a game. We talked about it

82
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: during a game. There were ten rookies that played. It's

83
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: one thing for ten rookies to play. It's quite another

84
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: for ten rookies to be out on the field and

85
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: be the best that you have at a particular position

86
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: or making impact plays at that position. Team Quatoriona doesn't

87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: play a ton in that game, but he makes one

88
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: whale of a catch, I mean a tremendous catch. That's

89
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: the rookie that we hadn't seen to that point. Jake Hansen,

90
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: undrafted Illinois, sat out twenty twenty one with an injury

91
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: rehab got back. He was wearing a green dot. In

92
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: the second half when they were trying to give linebackers

93
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: a rest, they would go and put Jake out there

94
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: with Jalen Reees Mayben. Jake made a couple of tackles,

95
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: did a couple of good things. Those a two guys

96
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: we haven't seen a lot of. Some of the guys

97
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: we've seen obviously Damian, Derek Stingley, Jaln Petrie. But Heinisch

98
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: I thought played a solid ball game last night, better

99
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: than against the Tennessee Titans. Thomas Pooker has been in

100
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: there in the four man rotation on the interior without

101
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: maliek Collins ten rookies, of course, Kenyan Green. Kennyan Green's

102
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: block on Damian Pierce's thirty six yard run where they

103
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: ran a counter back to the right side, say, perfectly

104
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: called play, It's perfectly executed. Kenyan Green has a just

105
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: Josh Sweat was inviting the violence and Kenyon gave it

106
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: to him. Larrmy turns up and he doesn't have anybody

107
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: to block. Damian turns a corner. It's like, where do

108
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: I go with this? Because there was nobody there. Kenyan Green.

109
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: Ten rookies are establishing themselves as future players for this

110
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: organization and future foundation pieces for this organization going forward.

111
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest thing that I took

112
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: out of Thursday night, mark their presence and what they've

113
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: been doing and how they took another step. And I

114
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: think the guy that probably took the biggest step was

115
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: Christian Harris. I think Christian Harris was absolutely awesome. Third.

116
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: I was going to be perfect, It's his third game,

117
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: but just his decisiveness, his speed and explosiveness to the

118
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: running backs to his gap and then shutting it down,

119
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: not letting running backs you know, bull him over for

120
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: two three, four more yards hitting them and that's where

121
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: they end. I think Christian Harris's development is the one

122
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: thing amongst many others, but it's the one thing because

123
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: his defense is struggling that I want to see more

124
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: than anything else. I want to see if Christian Harris

125
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: can be that guy at linebacker and then you start

126
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: surrounding him in that front seven. But he's a major

127
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: piece of it going forward. All right. So he's one

128
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: of the ten rookies. How many second year guys? And

129
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: Jalen Camp is kind of a first slash second year guy.

130
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: He's not a rookie, but he's seeing his first action. Yep,

131
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: he had a catch, right, yep, had one get his

132
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: first career catch. Yes, all right, So Miles second year guy,

133
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: Ravin Jordan's second year guy. We didn't see Nico, he

134
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: didn't play, was inactive, Roy Lopez, Roy Lopez second year player.

135
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: Who else am I missing? There's at least one more

136
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: I would think. I feel like where I missed one.

137
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: But those guys you mentioned, I mean, obviously Dave would

138
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: be the quarterback, but missing Nico, I felt like Nico

139
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: could have been a could have been a really difficult

140
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: piece for the Eagles to have to tangle with last night,

141
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: I felt like that would have been great for the Texans. However,

142
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: I'll say this, without their top two wide receivers out there.

143
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: I felt like Philip Door said had a chance to shine,

144
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: and he did. I felt like Chris Moore continued to

145
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: make place. You mentioned Jalen Camp. Jalen Camp stepped up.

146
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: I wish Nico would have been out on the field

147
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: because I do think he would have created some mismatches

148
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: for the Eagles, and that would have been kind of

149
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: interesting to see how they would have handled those. But

150
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: there was so much really to about what the offense did.

151
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: The offense did some great things for the first two

152
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: and a half three quarters, and then the fourth quarter

153
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: needed a few more things, obviously. But the thing I

154
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: think is bothering me, Mark is just it looked really

155
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: good against Las Vegas for three and a half, Yeah,

156
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: a little over three quarters. It looked absolutely putrid Sunday

157
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: against the Titans, and then Thursday night it's back to

158
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: man this things. It's got rhythm, it's got flow. The

159
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: offensive mix of play callers or I mean have plays

160
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: called and players emphasizes who were gonna make those plays,

161
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: and then put in position. It looked completely different last night.

162
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: It was so fun to watch. It's if that group

163
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: can just find its level and stay at that level.

164
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: I think it's an opportunity to beat some teams over

165
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: the last nine games and really show what they can

166
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: do heading into twenty twenty three. Well, you talked about

167
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: this with Lovey Smith after the game. You talked about

168
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: it on Extra Points, which will air Saturday night, like

169
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: you said on thirteen after the late News, And when

170
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: you look at that drive where they were just running

171
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: it with Pierce third quarter drive steamrolling the Philadelphia Eagles,

172
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: you thought, well, wait a minute, they put this sucker

173
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: in the end zone and that was a physical drive

174
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: and they have tied the game again. Let's see where

175
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: it takes you, Johnny. The pick mills look so good

176
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: in the first half, and then you get that pick

177
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: where they get it down of the seventeen yard line

178
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: and it changes everything. It's point blank range for them virtually.

179
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they're at least in field goal range, and

180
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be more trouble than that. But

181
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: if you just throw that ball away somehow punt it

182
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: make them work for it, wouldn't that be something I'd

183
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: love to see where that would have taken the game.

184
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: Maybe they score, maybe they score on a long touchdown drive,

185
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: but at least you made them work for it. What

186
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: they do after that eighteen play drive, they made them

187
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: work for it. Yeah, they allowed to score, but they

188
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: made them work for everything. And along the way you

189
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: saw out of different looks and you almost got the

190
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: ball out, but you didn't. You always want to make

191
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: them play on the long field, that's obvious. And the

192
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: pick really changed the complexion of the game. That being said,

193
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: you drove right down the field after they scored the

194
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: touchdown and had a chance to score one of your own,

195
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: but you didn't. You got the field goal. Now it's

196
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: down four, and the game's never quite the same after that.

197
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: They are so the young and scrappy Texans, And I've

198
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: always thought, if we get into this situation where you

199
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: get a lot of picks, you're in a reload, refresh, rehash,

200
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, rebuild. If you're in

201
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: that situation, you want to play like that. You want

202
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: to play games into the fourth quarter, have a chance

203
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: to win. They're gonna win games this year. You watch,

204
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: I know we're almost halfway through here, but no where

205
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: are we eight games? Yeah, we're roughly. You're never gonna

206
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: be halfway anymore now after the next one year. Over

207
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: the halfway point, that is the halfway game. This is

208
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: the halftime house where you get your snickers bar. They

209
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: might have the peanut butter crackers right there for you.

210
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: They might have you know, you're gonna go to the

211
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: restroom at the Meadowlands Exit sixteen w off the New

212
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: Jersey turn fight. Don't ask me how I know that.

213
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: In fact, Bob ran impressive too. Bob Ryan used to

214
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: write a column, well he's written many columns, but a

215
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: basketball column in the Boston Globe. And he would call

216
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: the nets the Exit sixteen WU nets. That was his name,

217
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: because they really didn't identify with New York, New Jersey

218
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: are anywhere. It was the Exit sixteen units. At least

219
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: they went to New Jersey. At some point. You bring

220
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: up a great point. This is the one that I

221
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: brought up with with Love You after the game, and

222
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: it was interesting after talking to love You on the record,

223
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: with the interview that I did with him, which well

224
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: I'll have that little later the show. I usually shake

225
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: hands go off. It's been a long day and night

226
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: for both of us. We got other things that we've

227
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: got to do. Obviously. He stopped and he stayed around

228
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: with me for just a little bit, and he said, John,

229
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: that third quarter drive. He kept going back to it,

230
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: and he talked about it. He's like, I just thought

231
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: we had him. Here's that drive. If you remember the

232
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: first the first play that drive was a four yard

233
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: loss out to Chris Moore. Remember that went out to

234
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: Chris Moore. But the one happened on the next play,

235
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: Chris Moore in the screen, Chris Moore to screen, and

236
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: that workedelujah, Oh my gosh, screen the receiver screen. Yes,

237
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: the receiver screen worked twenty five yards. So then here's

238
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: how it goes. Pierced for three, pierced for ten, pierced

239
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: for four, pierced for six, pierced for nine, Rex for nine,

240
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: and now all of a a sudden, you're down to the

241
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: thirteen yard line. Johnny, when Rex went for nine, I thought,

242
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: this could be our night. This could be it. If

243
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: if they're opening holes for Rex, because when Rex check said,

244
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: you're thinking they're gonna throw it right occasionally, maybe a handoff,

245
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: but they're gonna throw it Pierce needed a blow. You

246
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: read everything you did. But when Rex ran for nine,

247
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: I thought they got him now. Yep, they got him now.

248
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: But they thought the same thing Mark, I really did,

249
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: because Rex Rex almost if you go back and watch

250
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: that play, Rex almost pops out of there because when

251
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: the safety Epps came up to hit him Rex, it

252
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: looked like was gonna stay on his feet, but Kenyan

253
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: was actually coming down to block somebody, and so that

254
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: kind of that kind of got thrown into chaos there

255
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: and Rex and Ever going down. But at the thirteen

256
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: yard line you just stuffed it right down her throat.

257
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: You notice I didn't mention Davis Mills throwing it once

258
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: it was pierced Rex right down. And you talk about

259
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: an answer like, hey, you guys just had an interception

260
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: in a short field and you punched it in great

261
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: good for you watch us right. And the reason I

262
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: brought that up with Lovey is because Lovey has talked

263
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: a lot about, Hey, we want to be a running physicalty.

264
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: We want that to be our identity. I felt like

265
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: that drive was our identity coming to the forefront, really

266
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: coming to the forefront, like this is what we're gonna be.

267
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: Maybe we're not the Browns yet. Maybe we're not. No,

268
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't know the name of the team that runs,

269
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: and maybe we're not the Titans yet. But we got

270
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: something here and we're gonna hammer you. And if you

271
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: can't handle it, you're just gonna keep getting Damien Pierce

272
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: and rex burghead Daria Okabe the rest of the game.

273
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: You know, I give the Eagles credit because at that

274
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: point they boiled their neck a little bit and we

275
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: were had to settle for a field goal. And that

276
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: was the difference if you if you go tit for

277
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: tat there and you are able to punch it in

278
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: from the thirteen yard line twenty one. Oh boy, now

279
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: it gets a little interesting. Twenty one. We'll take it

280
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: after a long drive like that, and maybe you get

281
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: a stop. Look, you're already turned them over once on

282
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: the night. Maybe there's more magic in the air. And

283
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: I felt Johnny's funny because before the game, when I

284
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: arrived here, I felt a certain way. My feelings mean nothing,

285
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: and I admit this, but we'll talk about them anyway.

286
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: Because when I got here, I thought, oh man, this

287
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be tough. You see the Eagles fans. But

288
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I started to. I was at at bud Light Plaza,

289
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: Andre and I did our visit with Sean and Seth,

290
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: and I saw Texans fans and I started to feel

291
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: differently and we were talking, we met some fans, and

292
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: I just felt like, you know what, this could be

293
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: one of those magical nights. And I told a lot

294
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: of people, I'm on the record in the building saying this,

295
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: that this could be mills best game. Yeah, because I

296
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: knew without Cooks, he's put up big numbers in the past,

297
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: and I thought there was a chance. Now in the

298
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: second half, it didn't go well. You have the two picks,

299
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: I get it. But for a while I was looking

300
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: pretty good. I was looking pretty good at this. And

301
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: here's the other thing. You know, when it's really easy

302
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: to evaluate what play a call after you've run a

303
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: play and it doesn't work, that's what It's really easy

304
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: to evaluate what played a call because after everything you

305
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: just described Rex for nine, I felt like, right there now,

306
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: it's easy for me to say now, right now, good time.

307
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: But you're sitting at the time to pull the rip

308
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: chord on a play action. Yeah, everybody and their uncle

309
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: is coming up to the line like they got to

310
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: stop this run. And if you had something there, maybe

311
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: just maybe you're able to hit a TV or another

312
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: long gain or whatever on a bootleg or some kind

313
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: of play action or whatever. But they didn't do it,

314
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: and they got the ground game stopped by the Eagles.

315
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: They kicked the field goal. The rest is history. And look,

316
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it would have worked either. You know,

317
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: second guessing is just part of sports, right, and Pep

318
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: was calling a beauty at that point on those three

319
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: well let's see, Yeah, three scoring drives and they just

320
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: weren't able to finish that one. Yeah, it was tough.

321
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: I want to ask you this, Yeah, just the night

322
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: in general Houston sports. Yeah, I feel like and and

323
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: this gets kind of it's very difficult to say because

324
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: obviously we were on the wrong end of a game

325
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. But yeah, it was one of the

326
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: most interesting and fun nights of sports that I can

327
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: remember in Houston. I would have loved to have seen

328
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: the Texans win, But I feel like the Texans playing

329
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: the way that they did, finding seemingly their offensive identity

330
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: with all these, like you said, young and scrappy Texans

331
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: and they're getting right in the face of the best

332
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: team in the league, and meanwhile, you've got this other

333
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: game gone on Philadelphia with the Houston Astros, and what's

334
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: going on with that. I walked out of here after

335
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,479
Speaker 1: getting everything before we shot extra points that we had

336
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: to wait for the Eagles to get out of the

337
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: tour theater where we're gonna shoot. So I went into

338
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: cafeteria to write my key play breakdown, which you want

339
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: to check out of Houston Texas dot com. Also vander

340
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: Bruer's view. Check that out at Houston Texas dot com

341
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: or the app. So I went in there and I

342
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: was writing, and they had one of the TV's on

343
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: the Astros and so I was in there watching the

344
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: ninth inning in there as a lot of people were

345
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: around NRG. How did you feel overall? Just looking back

346
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: at it. The night that was where the Astros and

347
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: Texans played on the same night, it was so odd

348
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: to have the Phillies fans in the building because the

349
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: Eagles fans or Phillies fans, that was weird. And the

350
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: dynamic of Texans fans wording for the Astros, you know

351
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: that's happening. And they showed the highlights and everything, but

352
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: when everyone cheered when you're showing a Jeremy payin your

353
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: home run or whatever. That was awesome and you got

354
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: the Philly in the stands. It was say because at

355
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: that point, I think it was fourteen seven Eagles, that

356
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: was before the Texans tied the game, and they showed

357
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: the pain your home run on the big board had

358
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: the Texans won. And I'm sure somebody's written something about

359
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: at seven fifteen, this happened. At seven thirty, this happen

360
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: at seven forty five, this happened. That would have been

361
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: very cool. Texans weren't able to get it done. But

362
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: how many people thought the Texans would play the Eagles

363
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: that tough? And I thought there was a little pride.

364
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: There's no moral victory in the league, but there was

365
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: some Houston pride shown on the field at n RG.

366
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: And I think because you have the young players, knowledgeable

367
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: fans know all right, this is a pretty good thing here.

368
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: You're developing these guys. They played hard, they fought hard.

369
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: That's good. And you're playing the young quarterback. I don't

370
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: know where the future goes with Davis Mills, but guess what,

371
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: it's good that you're playing him because you're learning about

372
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: Davis Mills. He's getting the experience, he's getting a long

373
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: look as a starting quarterback in this league with a

374
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: young team. And you just continue the process here. And

375
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm not even saying Philadelphia seventy six or style, Hey

376
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: Philly again, trust the process. I'm saying it is a process.

377
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: You got to watch this play out because that's their

378
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: best option right now. Play these young guys, let them develop,

379
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: get ready to load up of that twenty twenty three

380
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: draft and build from there. But we got a lot

381
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: of games left this year, Johnny, and I know they're

382
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: gonna be competitive because they've been competitive in every game.

383
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: Every game. I mean the Titans game was the most uncompetitive,

384
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: and we talked about that with the three hundred rushing yards,

385
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: but you still held them seventeen. So let's see what

386
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: happens in New York. Then you got the Commanders here.

387
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: Winnable game, I mean, Chase, Okay, you just you just

388
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: went against the number one team in the league. Yeah.

389
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any game that isn't winnable. Now,

390
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: what the teams learned, by the way from the Texans

391
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: last night, who are going to face time, Well, yeah,

392
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: absolutely Here's here's what I learned. If I'm if I'm

393
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: in division, like I don't think the Giants have played

394
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles yet. The Cowboys have and the Commanders don't.

395
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: But it's those two teams because they're in the playoff hunt.

396
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: I know this. I go find the Texans run game

397
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: and I look at that and go, this is how

398
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: we this, this is how we do it because you

399
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: keep that offense. And that was at one point I

400
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: looked up at the the when the stats are rolling,

401
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: when Gavin's rolling, I'm on a video boards and they

402
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: show the stats the time of possession. When I looked up,

403
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: there was almost even, and I was like, I think

404
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: you've got to be as as hokey as that sort

405
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: of sounds. I think that's where you have to be.

406
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: Time of possession wise ended up being, uh yeah, the

407
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: Texans thirty four thirty one forty seven and the Eagles

408
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: are twenty eight thirteen. I think you got movie even

409
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: a couple more minutes. The Cowboys can do that with

410
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, with Zeke when he's healthy, they can do that.

411
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: They can control the clock and keep that that offense

412
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. The Giants can do that too. The

413
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: Giants can run the football with Sequon Barkley and Nixon,

414
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones runs and keep that Eagles offense on the sideline.

415
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: I think that's what eventually beats the Eagles their run defense.

416
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: And I was on a podcast with Fran Duffy, who

417
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: cuts a lot of the things that I do for

418
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Frans great, He's gonna be a friend. And

419
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: he said, how will the Texans win? And I'm like

420
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people, obviously, Look, you're a thirteen point underdog.

421
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: You're just coming off a game and gainst Tennessee. How

422
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: did the Texans win? And I said that the chink

423
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: in the Eagles armor, if there is one, is there

424
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: run defense. They're giving up one hundred and fourteen yards

425
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: per game. And if there's something that Texans do well,

426
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: if they are consistent up front, it's run the ball.

427
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 1: The Amy and Pierce can break some tackles. But I

428
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: thought the run game blocking was that much better last

429
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: night than I anticipated. But I said, that's the formula. Well,

430
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: what teams now watching the Eagles can say, hey, we

431
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: can mimic that formula and defensively, we think we can

432
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: slow them down a little bit more than they did.

433
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: Then we did got one turnover. Wish you would have

434
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: gotten another one. I think that would have ended up

435
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: being a huge difference. But I think teams are gonna

436
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: watch that film of the Texans and go, we can

437
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: run on these guys, and that's gonna pay off dividends

438
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: because it keeps that Eagles offense on the side because

439
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: as soon as they get on the field, who do

440
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: you stop? Well, who do you stop? Here's who you stop.

441
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: You find a way to get into the backfield the

442
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: way the Texans did. Because the Texans spent a lot

443
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: of time in the backfield with four sacks and I

444
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: know Stephen Nelson in a corner blitz and that's a

445
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: great call. But Jerry Hughes was spending a lot of

446
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: time and one time he did not get a sack,

447
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: but he got a redirected sack, right he got the

448
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: hockey assist. Is that a hockey assist or an assist?

449
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: What do you call that? I don't know, hockey ass

450
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: It will take it. Hockey assist read to Rex Hurts

451
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: into the arms of somebody else. So I think that

452
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: they showed you can put some pressure on him because

453
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: it seemed like hurts at times was whoa, whoa, whoa.

454
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: I got people back here. This was not on the

455
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: menu tonight. I did not expect this to be on

456
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: my plate. People in my backfield. Can we please do

457
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: something about this? Yeah? And that was big. That was big.

458
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: And there are gonna be some teams that are gonna

459
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: have some dudes they're gonna have to prepare for. Here's

460
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: one thing I will say. Nick Sirianni was talking today

461
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: about Jordan my allotta given up those sacks. Nick Sirianni said,

462
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: those sacks were on me. I'm like, what he goes

463
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: those play calls, those plays we should never put Jordan

464
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: in that position. Those play calls, my bad should have

465
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: never done. I was like, all right, Wow, that's a

466
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: second year coach. Yeah, that's pretty impressive. I'm like, wow,

467
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: I was. I was not shocked. I mean, I didn't

468
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: know much about Nick Sirianni and I still don't put

469
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: just what I've seen of him. Then hearing that, I

470
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: was like, that's that's really impressive, man, very very impressive. Yes,

471
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: Texans went down went down to defeat twenty nine seventeen,

472
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: But excellent performance at times in this game. Let's hear

473
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: from those that participated with Little Texans Audio Jukebox. Next

474
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: right here in Texans All Access. What's going on, everybody?

475
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Friday edition Texans All Access. I'm

476
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, Football and a side of my reporter.

477
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: Glad to be with you one night after Texans took

478
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: one on the chin last night, twenty nine seventeen. A

479
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: lot of good things came out of this football game

480
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles, and hopefully things that they're going

481
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 1: to be able to build off of. I mentioned this

482
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: with Mark talking about the rookies. You got Derek Stingley

483
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: starting in his That was the eighth game of season,

484
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: so he's had eight starts. Yeah. Kennyan Greene, who I

485
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: thought blocked in the run game pretty well. Pass game

486
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: still needs some help, but he has been in a

487
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: trench starter for eight games. Jalen Petrie, he's been a

488
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: starter since day one, eight games with him now. John

489
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: macchi was drafted a second round and we're gonna see

490
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: match next year and can't wait to see that appearance

491
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: next year and again from a football standpoint obviously, and

492
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. Health is the most important thing for

493
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: that man and getting him back healthy just in general

494
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: and then the football stuff. But when he comes back,

495
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna be fun. So John Matchi, of the top

496
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: four picks, he's one obviously we haven't seen due to

497
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: leukemia that he encountered back during the offseason. Then you

498
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: get into the third round and that's where Christian Harris

499
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: was drafted. I thought Christian Harris last night was maybe

500
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: the most impressive young player, first second year guy not

501
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: named Damian Pierce. Christian Harris was just fantastic. The way

502
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: he filled gaps on runs, the way he announced his

503
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: presence with authority, he played with some oh man, that

504
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: was really fun to watch. Then you go to Damian Pierce,

505
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: how's that working out? Do we find out running back? Everybody?

506
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: We're looking for one? Did we find him? Yeah? I

507
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: think we did. And he's been the starter for eight

508
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: games as well. Christian Hardis Harris has started the last two.

509
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: So take Matchi out of it. Of your first five picks,

510
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: five picks, those guys have started a combined twenty sorry,

511
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: thirty two thirty four games. That's not a bad place

512
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: to start. Now. If I got to order here, I

513
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: apologize Thomas Booker has seen a lot of time on

514
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: the field, a ton of time. I think he started

515
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: last week, so let's give him a start. You got

516
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: Teaingtriano who started. I don't know if he started. I

517
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: think he came in, but either way, touchdown catch last

518
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: night one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, that's seven.

519
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: Then you got Austin Deculis who is playing behind unfortunately

520
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: for him, two really solid tackles, so we haven't seen

521
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: him on the field this year. But again Austin later

522
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: on pick. He's the best insurance you could have because

523
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 1: a young player really shown some things that he can do.

524
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: Then you got Kurt Heinich, and Kurt has started thinking

525
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: game or two. Ki him two sack last night doing

526
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: some good things. You've also got Troy Harriston. I'm not

527
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and say Damian Pierce's best friend. Maybe

528
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: his Damian Pierce's best friend, I don't know, but I

529
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: know when they're going on an affirmation, he's Damian Pierce's

530
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: best friend because that dude will light people up. So

531
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: he starts to full back. And then last night you

532
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: had Jake Hansen, who was playing the mic linebacker, so

533
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: he was wearing the coach com last night. That is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

534
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: eight nine, ten, and that's eleven. Well, if you contaculous,

535
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: that's eleven. We haven't seen Aust on the field, but

536
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: also in make eleven, that is an impressive haul. Two four, six,

537
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: eight nine rookies drafted. Of those Metchi not on the field,

538
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: unfortunate because of the leukemia. Austindeculous because he's stuck behind

539
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: Titus Howard and Lam Tunsel. Pretty interesting stuff from these

540
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: young guys. So let's hear from a couple of them

541
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: right here in a Texans audio jukebox, and start with

542
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: te Inquatoriano, who I caught up with after the game.

543
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: All right, guys standing next to te Inquatoiano tegan first

544
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: NFL game, how you feel physically? I feel good? Um,

545
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: and you know, I just I just want to get

546
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: the way in that so not a. I don't feel

547
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: great right now, so m but I's gonna forget about it,

548
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: going to next week and get ready for the next opponent.

549
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: Take me through the touchdown. Two guys there in front

550
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: of you, we saw the ball go up. Look like

551
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: you just went and got grad reb like you did

552
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: in high school. Take me through that touchdown catch. Yeah,

556
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: I just I just went up and rebounded it. How

557
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: surreal is that moment to be in the end zone,

558
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: your first game back after a while, first game in

559

561
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: felt really good. Um, it felt great at the time. Um.

562
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: Pretty pretty bitter now just because just because of how

563
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: it ended, But but at the time it was it

564
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,520

577
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: cave On Wallace, who, by the way, cave On Wallace

578
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: at fuel for him because he made one heck of

579
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: a read. He saw quatoion on the leak route the

580
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: running mesh behind it, and Quatoiono was gonna leak from

581
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: the right over to the left side, and Wallace saw

582
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: it the whole way. But Tigan is six five maybe

583
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: sixty six, skyte over him, ripped it ahead, ripped it

584
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: off his head. Touchdown, Tigua Quatriano. Now let's hear from

585
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: another young guy we've talked a lot about. We're gonna

586
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: hear more from Damian Pierce later, but I thought this

587
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: was interesting from Jude Doherty who caught up with him

588
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 1: to talk about a thirty six yard run. Pretty interesting

589
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: stuff here. Take a listen to Damian Pierce as we

590
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: go through our Texans audio jukebox. Do you remember that

591
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: the thirty six yard run, the one that just kind

592
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: of kept going on which way went at the right side. Okay,

593
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: I gotta I got the big but you know, any

594
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: any time I got a LT in front of me,

595
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: and I'm not test for the first five. We got

596
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: a good play going, so you know, shout out of eight.

597
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: You know, eight kind of sprawned that playoff with a

598
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: good perimeter block, went on Darius later a corner. I

599
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: just got vertical. Man, Just try to work. But I

600
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: was in touch for the first six seven and um,

601
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: I got altam from me. That's a good sign. You know,

602
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: I love that guy. Man, what a character he is.

603
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: Damien Piers talking about his thirty six yard run. That

604
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: was a great one. I wrought it up my key

605
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: play breakdown. You can see it there, but essentially it

606
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: was a counter out of a gun and it's blocked

607
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: so well. LT is with the county. Can you kick

608
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: down at Josh Schweat when Larrymy turned up, there's nobody there,

609
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: There'll be there. It was a great play, great play call.

610
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: Everything absolutely worked. Now, one of the linemen that was

611
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: instrumental on that play was a Jay Cann. Drew caught

612
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: up with him after the game. That felt good. You know. Obviously, uh,

613
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: last week miss missed it. But this week, you know,

614
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: I was anxious, excited to get back out there, and

615
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, we all we almost had him. But you know, I,

616
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: like co said, you know some things we can build

617
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: off on this game, and uh, it's any getting Sundays

618
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: the best team in the league, and we was, we

619
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: was right there with nobody. Nobody cares that we were

620
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: right there and almost one. We of course we want

621
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: to win, but there's some things we can building on

622
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, what are some of those things? The

623
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: way we ran the ball. We know what we're capable

624
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: of doing now, the way that the defense was sticking with,

625
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: sticking with the offense. So we've got to keep building

626
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: on what we what we can and hopefully that you know,

627
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: asked more and more wins alcohol Scott was talking about

628
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: how communication was a little bit different, a little bit

629
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: better upfront a line wise. What do you think of

630
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: that idea and what do you think you guys were

631
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: able to do to run the ball so effectively. You know,

632
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: Scott did a good job and prior to this weekend

633
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: in the game would identifying the defensive fronts. He was

634
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: able to make the right mic call and I think

635
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: that put us in the right positions and to make

636
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: the right key blocks and and you saw the effects

637
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: of that I don't think it's a coincidence that this

638
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: offense struggled against the Titans without a J. Cann. I

639
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: don't think it's any coincidence at all. I think A J.

640
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: Can has been a solidifying force right there on that

641
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: right side, in between Scott Any, between Titus. I think

642
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: A J. Cann has done some really good things. Look

643
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: at might SI tell you he's playing at Pro Bowl level. No,

644
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: but he has just been solid and really good each

645
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: and every week. Out missed him against the Titans. Mcclad

646
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: he was able to make it back last night against

647
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: the Egals. All right, Let's get to another veteran who

648
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: just continues to make plays, and that's my man, Chris Moore.

649
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: Chris Moore. When he saw him with the Texans in

650
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, I was so pumped. I've always been

651
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 1: a fan of Chris Moore. I loved them coming out

652
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. He always seemed like he did the little things,

653
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 1: the dirty work. Special teams came in as a fourth receiver,

654
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: he'd make a catch here. He had a fake punt

655
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: catch against US in twenty seventeen on Monday at Football,

656
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: which kind of got the Ravens going so when he

657
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: came to Houston, I was excited, and then when he

658
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: got on the field, he just he showed him belong.

659
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: There's no doubt getting more time at receiver. Well he

660
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: showed that last night on his touchdown catch where that

661
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: things didn't break down, but Davis saw an opportunity get

662
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: out of the pot and when he did, now scrambled drill.

663
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: Rules come in. Chris Moore beat this guy away across

664
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: the field, made a great catch, held on to it

665
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 1: through the catch point, and got the touchdown. Here's Chris

666
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: mark the game with Drew hey Man. What was the

667
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: difference you think ultimately tonight at the end of the game,

668
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: we just didn't execute. And that's what it's all these

669
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: games to come down to. We keep we're in the game,

670
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: and then when it's really in the crucial moments, we're

671
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: just not finishing. Is the optimism you can take though,

672
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: offensively from what you guys were able to accomplish her

673
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: for the most part. Definitely. I mean I feel like

674
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: we were a pretty balanced office. We made plays, We

675
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: made a lot of explosive plays. Like I said, we

676
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: just got finished at the end of the game. You

677
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: had a couple of those explosive plays when was a

678
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: touchdown the other one over the middle. Ken, take me

679
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: through what happened on the touchdown. Oh yeah, it was

680
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: just ended up being a scrambled drill and I saw

681
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: Davis rollout to his right and I just tried to

682
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: cross the safety's face and get in the window front

683
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: and throwing. He threw a great ball, especially rolling out

684
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: like down on the run. Yeah, he seemed to do

685
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more of that tonight, throwing on the run.

686
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: Would you think of what he was able to do

687
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: with that? I mean, I love it. I mean that

688
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: shows his awareness in the pocket and shows that he's

689
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: still looking for guys to get open and he's trying

690
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: to extend plays and really just make plays out there,

691
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: made those plays in the passing game. Would you think

692
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: of what you guys were able to do on the ground,

693
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 1: especially with Pierce. Oh yeah, I mean we loved heres

694
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: and Alman stay start. They started off, and they get

695
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: it going, and they get it going. He can run

696
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: all day and people don't want to tackle him. So

697
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: it's just great. What's it next for you guys? You

698
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: get a little bit extra time with this weekend, and

699
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: you go on the road. What do you guys need

700
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: to do. We're just gonna need to get healthy. And

701
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: like I said, it is just really we're in all

702
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: these games we just got finished. When we're in those

703
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: these moments where it can go their way our way,

704
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: we need to make it find a way to make

705
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: it go our way. I think Chris put it best there.

706
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: You're getting a fourth quarter. He's right. With games that

707
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: are that close, it goes your way, their way, you

708
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: gotta force it to go your way. And gets Jacksonville

709
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: they did. They forced it with a number of third

710
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: down conversions, Damian's one yard touchdown run and then defensive

711
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: stops for the rest of the game. You gotta force

712
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: it to go your way. There's no question about that,

713
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: all right. One last item on the Texas Audio Jukebox

714
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: is my interview with Lovey Smith. That a chance to

715
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: catch up with the head coach after the game as well.

716
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: And I started with a drive in the third quarter

717
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: that I thought was a big drive in this game

718
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: in every other game the rest of the season. Coach

719
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: on the third quarters drive where you went down and

720
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: you kicked the field to make a twenty one seventeen,

721
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: he really felt like physically offensively, that's when you sort

722
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: of got to where you've always been talking about we

723
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: want to get to. Did you kind of sense that

724
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: way that the physicality was sort of taking over? I

725
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: really did, John. I thought i'line we were pushing him right,

726
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: Adam driving right down the field, hard runs and feel like,

727
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, they wanted as much as we did. But

728
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: having to sell four field goal there and won a

729
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: game like that, we needed to touch down. But like

730
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: a lot of things we did offensively, he did some

731
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: good things defensively. How about Jerry Hughes Night and what

732
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: Jerry's been bringing to the defense. That's as you say,

733
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: that's what he's been bringing, That's what he brings every

734
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: day to practice, every day in the building. He just

735
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: does exactly what you want a veteran football the player

736
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: to do and all of that and then showing up

737
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: on game day. He's a I mean he can rush

738
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: on outside, you know, playing in the league just long

739
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: at the high level that he's We need more of

740
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: those type of efforts. I know that matters, don't the

741
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: numbers don't matter too much to you, but you had

742
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: nine rookies that played to Night Tea and gets his

743
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: first action as the NFL player. You should Christian Harris

744
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: grow up. I mean the way he's looked the last

745
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and the way you looked tonight, just

746
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: more improvement. What have you seen from the young guys

747
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: that you put on the field and what they're bringing

748
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: to this team. We love everything down the young guys

749
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: are doing, you know, right, whenever you're playing nine rookies,

750
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: that kind of says a little bit too. But these

751
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: guys are getting better that good football players. They're going

752
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: to help us win a lot of games in the future.

753
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: We just need that future to come quickly. Got the

754
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: mini buy and then you got You're ready for New York.

755
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: It's the biggest thing that you want to see from

756
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: your guys over this weekend, but mostly to get ready

757
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: for New York. And as a man, you know, manly,

758
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: that was an exhausting game that they've gone through. And

759
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: as we said earlier, it's a long stretch of football,

760
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, three games in a short period of time.

761
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: But now we need to heal up and hopefully we

762
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: can get a couple of our play yours back and

Speaker 1: Moore and Lovey Smith Little Texans Audio jubox for you.

766
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: All Right, we get back. We'll go around the NFL

767
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: and figure out what's going on this weekend. Who's in,

768
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: who's out. You need to know that for your fantasy teams.

769
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: So we'll try and hit a few of those next

770
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: right here in Texas All Access. Yes, Sarah, let's stop

771
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: right back into our Friday Nation of Texas All Access.

772
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm John football Ana side of the reporter for your

773
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. This gets some news and notes around the NFL,

774
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of these have to do with fantasy,

775
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: if not all of them. So get your fantasy team ready.

776
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: I know you had to submit lineups and things like

777
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: that and you're trying to figure out what you should do.

778
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you play daily fantasy, etc. Here's some things you

779
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 1: gotta consider. Number One, Keenan Allen out again, unfortunately for

780
00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Now, the Chargers haven't been slowed down I

781
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: think completely by Keenan Allen, but that offense is that

782
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: much better when Keenan Allen is opposite of Mike Williams.

783
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: Keen Allen out for the Chargers in that one, and

784
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: that's going to be a tricky ball game against the

785
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. So oh boy, I don't know if I'm

786
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: looking forward to that game without Keenan Allen because the

787
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: Falcons have been so so up and down. But tis

788
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: what it tis, Keenan Allen not playing this weekend as

789
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers go to Atlanta, Cooper Cup spraying his ankle

790
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 1: on the last play the game. In fact, Sean McVeigh

791
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: was a little for clemped with himself for leaving Cup

792
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: in a game they were getting smashed by the forty

793
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: nine ers. Here at his ankle. However, he is ready

794
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: to play. Cooper Cup is in, so he got Cooper Cup.

795
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 1: There you go. He's playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense,

796
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: at times says showing some good stuff and at times

797
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: says looked like absolute hot garbage. Now a team that

798
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: has been all over the map this year, the Indianapolis

799
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: Colts cults are taken on the Patriots, so early two

800
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: thousands are having a little reunion party because all the

801
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: times they used to play Jonathan Taylor out nagging ankle injury,

802
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: he is out with Naim Hines now Buffalo after a

803
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: trade that means Deon Jackson we'll step in for Jonathan Taylor,

804
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: but Taylor is out for Indianapolis's game against the New

805
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: England Patriots. The Kansas City Chiefs now, I think about

806
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, traded for Cadarius Tony Dynamic,

807
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: former Florida Gator wide receiver. This dude is as about

808
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: as slick as I've ever seen, I mean, quicksilver. He

809
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: can change directions like nobody've ever seen. He's probably the

810
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: right fit for Kansas City's no doubt. He is expected

811
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: to play against the Titans. Yay, Chiefs, beat them up.

812
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: We couldn't do it, so hopefully you guys will be

813
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: able to now. As it pertains the Titans, Ryan Tannehill

814
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: returned to practice on Thursday. He's listed as questionable. Will

815
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: be a game time decision versus the Chiefs. So if

816
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: you somehow have Malik Willis on your fantasy team, I

817
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: don't know if I play him, but that's up to you.

818
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: But just know that if you have Ryan Tannehill, it

819
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: might not be the right thing to go into. If

820
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: you have Derrick Henry play him all day, every day.

821
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: It's the Chiefs. I don't think they're gonna be able

822
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: to stop him at all. So there you go. Little

823
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: news around the NFL, some key guys that you need

824
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on as it pertains to fantasy.

825
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: Of course, speaking of guys that you want to have

826
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: on your fantasy team, I got a text from my

827
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: cousin who lives up in Green Bay. She's like, Hey,

828
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: do you have any sleepers for Fantasy this year? You

829
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: gave a great one and I'm trying to remember who

830
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: I gave to. I think I gave Jordan Nakins a

831
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and Jordan had those big game,

832
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: especially in twenty nineteen. You have anybody. And I just

833
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: was in a rush and I said, Damian Pierce, that's

834
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: paid off. Let's hear from Damien full interview with the

835
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: guys in the post game last night. This was fantastic stuff.

836
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: Let's do that next right here on Texas All Access.

837
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: We got one hour down, one hour left to go,

838
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,600

839
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: your man's a little worn down, but we're gonna do it.

00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,240

846
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: stepped aside from the game broadcast, we turn it over

847
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:50,920

00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: You heard him a little earlier talking about that thirty

851
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: six yard run he jumped in with the guys last night,

852
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: and some great stuff in sued. So I missed it,

Speaker 1: so I'm hearing it for the first time. I know

854
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: some of you guys probably missed it because it was

855
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: pretty darn late, or you might have been watching the

860
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: certainly as he's been throughout the season. Rookie running back

865
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: that's a really tough team. You guys played on the

866
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 1: other side. Give us your assessment. That's the only undefeated

867
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: team left in football. Were they what you expected when

868
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: you watched them on film this week? Uh? Yeah, you

869
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: know FLEs is that guy up front. Uh you know

870
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: they really saw that, you know, all throwing through you

871
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: know what, it's the second day or the second level

872
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: up front. You know, they're really way around it team.

873
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: And I really think that's what giving him is to

874
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: be a no the season, because you know, they got

875
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: guys and they half depth on top of that. So

876
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: really tough team. But we played hard, We fought hard,

877
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: and I really feel like, uh we you know, we

878
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: were really even. You know at first half, it was

879
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: it was an even ball game. You know, it was

880
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: a man's game. Or right up right up until the end.

881
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: So proud of the way our guys competed in Um,

882
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: you know I'm being I'm being the same drum Bay.

883
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna fixing this. We're gonna fina go over that home.

884
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: Hey talked to us a little bit about I mean,

885
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: your your role has expanded as you as you get

886
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: baptized by fire in the league, your your rookie year.

887
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean, twenty seven carries tonight. I don't know what

888
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: Sean you know. I know you know off the top

889
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: of your head, if that's the most carries head in

890
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: the ball game or not. No, I think you had

891
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: did if you had more than twenty seven in a game.

892
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: I think I thought you might have had jets. Yeah,

893
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 1: you might have had twenty nine in in a game.

894
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: You you had a lot of kids. You've had more

895
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: carrious though this year. You've had a more carrious this

896
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: year than you ever had a one year in Florida

897
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: that ever. Yeah, point well, you know that's a big

898
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: topic in our world when we're talking about Damian Pierce

899
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: is is you know, didn't get quite the workload in

900
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: college now even the league fresh rookie almost freshman year

901
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: rookie year, rookie year. I mean you're out of here

902
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: toting to rock, you know, twenty seven, twenty nine times,

903
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: whatever it is. That's that's a big load. That's a

904
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: that's a lot of carries. I mean, just is that

905
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: something that that you guys are aware of. Is that

906
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: something that you guys keep track of? I mean, how's

907
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: your body feel versus earlier in the year when you

908
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: weren't getting as many carries? Take us inside and inside

909
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: the numbers man inside the numbers. Uh, they don't feel

910
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: like twenty seven. And I guess that's a good thing.

911
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: You know, later in the season, my body and I'm

912
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: front up, you know, and I got used to taking hits.

913
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: You know, kind of got a good regime, you know,

914
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: a good recovery routine, you know with the training staff

915

917
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: tweak out, so you know, they make sure they may shout,

918
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: stay on top of my game, you know, off the field,

919
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,040

926
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: reason why I played quarterback. Well, I mean, you just

940
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: no Nico, no Brandon. You know what was that something

941
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: you guys were thinking about coming into the game. Accommodating

942
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: for that. Those are two big, big guys that you're

943
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: missing tonight. Uh yeah, you know there's Uh we were

944
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: raut to have Montdale of course, now sure question we

945
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: were about to have him mindell, but uh you know

946
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: Brandon hash personal reason, Nico out would have grown injury,

947
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: but uh DA's man up mentally. You know, we got

948
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: a room full of guys who ready to step up

949
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: to that role, who's prepared for that role, Who's had

950
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: the same no mental relps, just not physical So you know,

951
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: they know what's going on, they know it's about they

952
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: need to be in and they stepped up and many

953
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: plays and night how do you read? I think one

954
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: of the biggest things about tonight, Damian was as an offense,

955
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: including yourself and in the run game, the biggest thing

956
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: about tonight to me was you guys exceeded expectations based

957
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: off what we watched last week. Last week was a rough,

958
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: rough week for you guys, right, we all know that. Um,

959
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: but you guys came out this week and played arguably

960
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: the best team in football and put up a hell

961
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: of a fight. Well, I mean again, take us behind

962
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: the scenes a little bit there of what were the

963
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: conversations like throughout the week and and what what was

964
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: How did y'all use last week's performance to take a

965
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 1: big step forward this week? Oh well, you can't appreciate

966
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: the sun without a rainy day. You know. Last week

967
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 1: we had a start a storm, h so you know,

968
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: coming and leading up into the week earlier, we had

969
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: a quick turnaround, so we really didn't have that much

970
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: time to really ponder on last week. We just knew

971
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:00,919
Speaker 1: we had to get better from and um, I feel

972
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 1: like that's what we did as an offensive, as an

973
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: offensive unit collectively, you know, just getting into plays that

974
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: we like, getting plays that you know, we don't got

975
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: to think about. We took the thinking out of it

976
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: and we played ball tonight. You know. You know, guys

977
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: are really firing on all centtlers and especially with Ja

978
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: being back this week, Aja wanted to get out through it,

979
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, so those guys boosted up front, you know,

980
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: because Aja is a big part of our big five.

981
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: You know, we missed him last week, and um, you know,

982
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: it's just glad to see him out there making plays

983
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: and not missing them. Beat fatigue and Katriano gets the

984
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,959
Speaker 1: gets the touchdown catch. I see you were pretty fired

985
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: up from Yeah, hey man, that's the man. That's all

986
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: Ricky class. And anytime somebody doing something for that Ricky class,

987
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: you know we all like on the sideline. He got

988
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: major love for everybody. Bro. Like just seeing what Tea

989
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: has been through. You know, he's been through plenty of

990
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: injuries like and um, he just really couldn't couldn't find

991
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: his way. But you know he stayed diligent. You know,

992
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: he kept working hard, he stayed in that training room,

993
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: and um, just to see him go out there on

994
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: Thursday night football prime time, Yeah, first kids. Yeah, get

995
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: a lot of texts waiting for him when he gets back.

996
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm happy for I'm so proud to

997
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: you man, just to see what he's on the get

998
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: at that point, Like those are the moments like that

999
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: everybody doesn't get to see, but like from a rookie,

1000
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: like from being a rookie and also just being in

1001
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: the build and seeing what he's gone through. You know

1002
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: that I'm proud of him. Man's glad to see him. Yeah. No,

1003
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: it's that's that, It's it's genuine, it's evian and I

1004
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: can tell this rookie class and you guys if you

1005
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: guys know this. You guys started eight rookies last week

1006
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: and this week in these games, Like that's a lot

1007
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: you know in the NFL, and nine now if you

1008
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: include tigue and kind of getting into the rotation, right, So, yeah,

1009
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: nine rookies that are contributing and you guys are taking

1010
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: your lumps right now obviously, But are you can you

1011
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,800
Speaker 1: speak to the is this a close knit rookie class?

1012
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: Can you talk about that a little bit? Oh? Yeah,

1013
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: Like I like I hit on the previous interviews an

1014
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: off season, not officas, but fall camp, we were probably

1015
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: together seventy percent of the time every day, day and

1016
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: day out. So you know, naturally, you you're gonna jail

1017
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: together're gonna mesh as a group, and um, you know

1018
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a relationship with those guys you know,

1019
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: on and off the field. But just to see the

1020
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: work that we put in, you know, we came. I

1021
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: really feel like our attitude is what really got us

1022
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: in a position we're in the day know, to start

1023
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: eight rookies. You know, you're not gonna play if you're

1024
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: not ready, So like just being just coming here with

1025
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: the right attitude, buying in, listening and I think the

1026
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: biggest part from us and what made it so, you know,

1027
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: what made the transition easy was really just buyding with

1028
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 1: the vets in the room, in every individual room. So

1029
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: like stein Stein, he asked Nelson, I got Rigs, you know, Kenyan,

1030
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: he got lt look look up to and so forth.

1031
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: So just having those guys and leaning on those guys

1032
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: and having those guys push us, push us in the

1033
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 1: right direction, and also us just going going out direction naturally.

1034
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: You know, it helped tremendously. You know, That's that's what

1035
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: you get, man, when you got somebody, somebody that's balled

1036
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: in and you got somebody that's helping you, man, may

1037
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: take all the stress off you. So you should go

1038
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: out there and play ball. And that's what you see

1039
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 1: where eight rookies started. Does it help them, like eighty

1040
00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: percent of you played in the SEC. Yes, And that's

1041
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: that's a And I'm glad you say that because that's

1042
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: a big part too. So like so first day we

1043
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: are like already no sting, already, no dick are you feeling?

1044
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: I know, Christian, So like everybody know eton already metch

1045
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: you so like it's there like this he playing he

1046
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: definitely helped, you know, make that transition easier. Sure, most definitely.

1047
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: But uh, hey, like I said, man will well knit group.

1055
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,719

1065
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: job of, no question about it is is the run

1066
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: game is real and you're a big, big part of that. Man.

1079
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna have to have a talk. Best interview, Okay,

1080
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: those guys that love the death and it was a

1081
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: good interview, is really fun. But he's got a step

1082
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: in studio with Mark and I. He's gotta have he's

1083
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: got to have our experience and then we'll see you

1084
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: who does the best interview? But I kid some sense partially,

1085
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: but it was a good interview. With Clint and Sean,

1086
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: no doubt love those guys, Love Damian Pierce, love what

1087
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: he has been able to do for this team this year.

1088
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: All we get back. We got a lot of teams

1089
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: on a bye this week. It's kind of odd. I

1090
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: think there are six teams on a bye and the

1091
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: Texans played last night, so that's eight. So there are

1092
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: only twelve games the rest of the weekend. We're gonna

1093
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: pick them all straight up and against the spread four

1094
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 1: fun for fun. We'll do that next right here on

1095
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Oh, we reached my favorite time of

1096
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: the week. My favorite part of any show is right here.

1097
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to your Friday edition of Texans All Access,

1098
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: Second segment, second hour. It's time for my pick straight

1099
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: up and against the spread for fun, for fun, for fun,

1100
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: where I John Harris Football, I on a sideline reporter

1101
00:53:54,840 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: get to pick all all of these games throughout the

1102
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: n f L. Now six teams are on buys, Browns, Broncos, Steelers, Cowboys, Giants, Niners.

1103
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: Six teams on buys. Two teams play last night, obviously,

1104
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: Texans and Eagles. That's eight teams at least twenty four

1105
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,240
Speaker 1: to play this weekend. That means they're just twelve games.

1106
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of stinks to be on a mini buy

1107
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: and there's such a few games, But that's okay. There's

1108
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: plenty of football to keep us all happy, I guess,

1109
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: and we don't have the stress of the Texas playing

1110
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday, so that's kind of cool. Just sit back, relaxed,

1111
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: watch everybody beat each other up. And I was gonna say,

1112
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: cheer for the Browns to lose. The Browns aren't playing,

1113
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: so yeah, you can cheer for the Colts to lose. Look,

1114
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: get to them in just a second, So give me

1115
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:52,399
Speaker 1: my music. There it is. It's time to pick these games.

1116
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,240
Speaker 1: So let's start in at Lamp where the Chargers travel

1117
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: across country to play at one o'clock Eastern game, a

1118
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: ten o'clock body clock game for the Chargers. I never

1119
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: liked those games for the teams that have got to

1120
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: travel east, and the Charger at three point favorite. So

1121
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: you know where I'm going with this. Falcons straight up

1122
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: to win and obviously cover because they're gonna win that

1123
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,919
Speaker 1: thing out right. The Falcons got away with one last

1124
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: week because DJ Moore took his helmet off, but they

1125
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: beat the Panthers thirty seven thirty four at home. The

1126
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: Chargers have been on a bye week, so we'll see

1127
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: how they bounced back from a loss they had at

1128
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: home against the Seattle Seahawks, and the Seahawks took him

1129
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: out beyond the wood shit, so falcons at home covering.

1130
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 1: We ain't winning as an underdog at home. I like that.

1131
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins taken on the Bears Dolph. Bears are not the favorites,

1132
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: and the Bears have traded real Quantsiman. They've traded Robert Quinn, who,

1133
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: by the way, they knew a whole lot last night.

1134
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: Again for the Eagles. Maybe you'll down the road, but

1135
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,879
Speaker 1: he hasn't already. The Dolphins are four and a half

1136
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: point favorites in Chicago, too. Is healthy seemingly, it seems

1137
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: like the Dolphins are relatively healthy and the Bears, even

1138
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: though they've shown some things. I don't think it goes

1139
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: in that direction. Radley Chubb trade to Dolphins. I think

1140
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: he is going to help out in the perimeter to

1141
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: slow that run game of the Bears. And I think

1142
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins will win this by a touchdown at a minimum,

1143
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: that's seven. That's more than four and a halfs to

1144
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 1: take Dolphins to win a cover on the road. The

1145
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: Panthers we just mentioned lost last week by three, a

1146
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: game it had in hand, and then well DJ Moore

1147
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 1: took his helmet off and then all everything went sideways.

1148
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: The Bengals are coming off a game in which they

1149
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: were completely totally outclassed by the Browns on Monday and

1150
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: a football but I do think the Bengals will bounce back.

1151
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 1: The Bengals are seven point favorites. That's a little rich,

1152
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with the Bengals here forty one

1153
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: thirty one. I think the Panthers with PJ Walker gets

1154
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: gore some points. I don't think they'll be able to

1155
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: stop the Bengals. Bengals win this by more than seven

1156
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 1: at home. They go to five and four and get

1157
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: a win over the Panthers, winning by more than seven.

1158
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: Packers struggling three and five, Lions struggling one and six.

1159
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: The Packers coming off a defeat to the Buffalo Bills

1160
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: in which the Bills pretty much did what they wanted

1161
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: up in Buffalo. The Dolphins hammered the Lions, but the

1162
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: Lions scored some points and kept it relatively close. They

1163
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: just couldn't stop one another. Every ounce of my being

1164
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: says Packers. The Packers are favored by three and a half,

1165
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: but that's when I should go against it. Lions won't win.

1166
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: Packers are gonna win this, but the Lions are gonna

1167
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: cover that three and a half. I think it's a

1168
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: three point game. Thirty eight, thirty five, thirty two, twenty nine, seven,

1169
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: twenty four, seventeen fourteen. It's a three point game. I

1170
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: think they're both going to score. To be honest, I

1171
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: think the Packers will get track. So I'm gonna give

1172
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: the Lions the cover, but the Packers the win. And

1173
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: that spread three and a half. That half is really

1174
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: helping me on that one. All right, let's get to

1175
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: the game. The two thousands loved Peyton Manning and the

1176
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: Colts against Tom Brady and the Patriots. It's not quite that.

1177
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: It's more like Sam Ellinger of the Colts taken on

1178
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: Mac Jones the Patriots. The Patriots got back on the

1179
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: winning bump last week, beating the Jets in the Meadowlands,

1180
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: moved to four and four. The Colts had a lead

1181
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: until about twelve seconds left, then Taylor Heineke snuck it

1182
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: over from one yard and the Colts lost Colts three

1183
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: four one, Colts traveling to Foxborough, and as I said earlier,

1184
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: no Johnathan Taylor for the Colts. That's enough for me.

1185
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: Patriots the six point favorite. The Patriots will win that

1186
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: by more than six. Although I think gritty Little Sam

1187
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: is going to do some things against the Patriots. I

1188
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: think the Patriots are gonna win that and cover that

1189
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: six point the Bills six point spread. The Bills are

1190
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: taken on the Jets, the Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets play

1191
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:08,439
Speaker 1: a second AFC East team at home. Zach Wilson through

1192
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: for a lot of yards, but struggle to get the

1193
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: Jets in the end zone. Made some massive, glaring mistakes.

1194
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a major issue against the Bills.

1195
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: And the Bills are eleven and a half point favorites

1196
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: coming off a Monday night game and they got to

1197
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: travel to the Jets. I don't think he travels much

1198
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: in the state of New York, New Jersey sort of thing,

1199
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: so I don't think that's a massive deal. What is

1200
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: the Jets trying to stop Josh Allen. I don't think

1201
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: it happens. The Bills win this thirty five twenty one.

1202
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: That's more than eleven and a half bills win and

1203
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: cover on the road. Minnesota Vikings are six and one,

1204
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: and I sort of poo pooed them before the year.

1205
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: I didn't think, yeah, you know, the Viking sans Kirk Cousins.

1206
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: And it's kind of the voice I had going in

1207
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: my head, and that's kind of what I had in

1208
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: my head. The Vikings are legit. The Vikings are absolutely legit.

1209
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Defense offense hammered the Cardinals last week. Now they're taking

1210
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: on to commanders. Commanders are formed for it's in Washington,

1211
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: where it looks like Daniel Snyder and his wife are

1212
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: about to sell the team, which seemingly has taken forever.

1213
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: And I'm glad it's taken that path. We'll see what happens.

1214
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: So there's been some of that. I don't know how

1215
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: much that ultimately impacts to play on the field. I

1216
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: don't think it impacts it at all. There's a low

1217
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: surprise in Minnesota only a three point favorite. Yes it's

1218
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: on the road, but if you go with Vegas saying okay,

1219
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: you get three points for being at home. The Minnesota

1220
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: is six points better than Washington. No, I think they're

1221
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: better than that, and they're better than three. I'm saying

1222
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: Vikings win this thing in Washington, and I would say

1223
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 1: they do it handily, but I think they do it

1224
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: by double digits. I think they win by ten or more.

1225
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: So go Vikings to win a cover on the road.

1226
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: I do not like road dogs, but some teams I do,

1227
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 1: and I feel like that with the Vikings this year.

1228
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: This one, I have no earthly idea. I'm all over

1229
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: the place on this one. Raiders taken on the Jaguars.

1230
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: The Raiders are two and a half point favorites. They

1231
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: have stayed on the East coast. They played in New Orleans,

1232
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: then they stayed on the East Coast to take on

1233
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,439
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. So they've been there for the full week

1234
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: and they looked awful. So last week against the Saints,

1235
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: it was awful. The Jaguars had a game in hand

1236
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: and again snatch victory from the jaws. Snatch defeat from

1237
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: the jaws of victory. I'll get it right. I just

1238
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: don't know, so you know what, I'm a flip a

1239
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: coin on this one. The two points spread. Not quite

1240
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: a pick them, but pretty close. I'm gonna go Raiders

1241
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: to beat the Jaguars because I want that to happen,

1242
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: so I want to cheer for that to happen. I

1243
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: don't want to go against my heart in my head

1244
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: as I do often time. Afternoon games three five Seahawks

1245
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: taken on the Cardinals in Arazona. Now, why is this

1246
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 1: one interesting? Well, Armandy Andre Hopkins is playing. Secondly, the

1247
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are gonna be on in season hard knocks

1248
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: starting November ninth, that's next Tuesday. I will be front

1249
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: and center for that. I think that team is full

1250
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,479
Speaker 1: of drama. It starts with their quarterback and it moves

1251
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: on from there. This one is really hard to figure out,

1252
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: but I think right now the Seahawks are playing better

1253
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: than the Cardinals. They should be favorite, they're not. I

1254
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: think the Seahawks win and well obviously they're two point underdogs,

1255
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 1: so they're gonna win and cover on the road. Again,

1256
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: another road team covering. I just don't think Arizona is

1257
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: that good. Rams Buccaneers two teams that met in Tampa

1258
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: last year and a massively important, of course, NFC divisional

1259
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: game that the Rams ended up winning. As I mentioned earlier,

1260
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup would made great plays in that divisional playoff

1261
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: game will play on Sunday. But I don't think it's enough.

1262
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't think the Rams are very good this year.

1263
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: I said at the beginning of the year, I believed it.

1264
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: And now it's coming to fruition. We'll see which team

1265
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: bounces back. I think it's the Bucks. They're favored by

1266
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 1: three at home. I'll take Tom Brady and the Bucks

1267
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: to come up big for a win and get a

1268
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: little slice of revenge if you will, although they're really

1269
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: is not much revenge for a game in Week nine

1270
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: versus a divisual playoff round, but you get the point.

1271
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: Bucks win and cover, and then Sunday Night Titans Chiefs.

1272
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs are twelve and a half point favorite. You know what,

1273
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: lay the point. Chiefs win. Chiefs hammer Titans. The Chiefs

1274
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: won't stop Derrick Henry all that much, but he won't

1275
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: go for two hundred and that I'll be enough. Titans

1276
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: won't score but about ten points, and the Chiefs will

1277
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: score a lot more than that. Take the Chiefs, lay

1278
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 1: of the points. And then Monday night and that's another one.

1279
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: Baltimore is going down to New Orleans. Baltimore's favored by

1280
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 1: two and a half. You know, we're gonna go with

1281
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens and Lamar Jackson. It's about the best thing

1282
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: to trust right now. So that's what I'm going with

1283
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 1: in those of my predictions. Four Week nine in the NFL,

1284
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: we get back a little Traymont Smith, who's dozen. We'll

1285
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: deep slant with Troy Harrison right here on Texas All Access.

1286
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: We got one final segment of this edition of Texans

1287
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: All Access on a wonderful Friday night. Hopefully you are

1288
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: out and about moving around doing some good things. I

1289
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: know last night was an incredible sports night in this town.

1290
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: Appreciate you being here with me. John Harris Football, I know,

1291
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: a sideline reporter, because it was just incredible and I

1292
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:44,479
Speaker 1: wish the Texans obviously would have gotten to win. I am,

1293
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: and it's gonna sound strange in some sense. I was

1294
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: glad they showed up to compete, and they competed, and

1295
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: I'll give the Texans that much. Yet a loss and

1296
01:04:55,480 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: that was tough, but they competed, just as Chris More

1297
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: said earlier, just couldn't finish in the fourth quarter. But

1298
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: what a night it was to see how the Texans

1299
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 1: showed Astros highlights had the Astros score up on the board,

1300
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: and it was just obviously special because of the Eagles

1301
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 1: slash Philly fans that were in there. It was just

1302
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: an electric atmosphere. And then of course the game is

1303
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: over and now I've got to go right, got to

1304
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: do some things before we're gonna shoot extra points, and

1305
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: so I wanted our cafeteria. And we've got probably like

1306
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 1: five or six TVs and cafeteria and they're on all

1307
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 1: different things, but one was on the Astros game, and

1308
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: so I sat where I could see it in front

1309
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: of me and watched the eighth and ninth innings and

1310
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Chas McCormick's catch was just stupid, I mean just ridiculous,

1311
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: and I jumped out of my seat. I'm just rat

1312
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: tattling away and I see the ball, I'm like, oh no,

1313
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: and then I see him sky and grab it, and

1314
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: I'm like I just jumped out of my chair. So

1315
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: an incredible night. Congratulations to the Astros to get that

1316
01:05:57,640 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: win in Game five. And look we've done that before.

1317
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,439
Speaker 1: This is now the second time in six years, five

1318
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 1: calendar years, but twenty seventeen, twenty twenty two, well there's

1319
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: been one hell of a football game going on in

1320
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: the afternoon and the Astros winning a key game five

1321
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: That happened twenty seventeen. Now they didn't overlap games, but

1322
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: the Texans went out to Seattle and played their guts

1323
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: out of forty one thirty eight loss to the Seahawks,

1324
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: which is just a gut punch. And then we got

1325
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: a fly back with Seattle and we're getting these little

1326
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: updates and we can't really the WiFi is not great,

1327
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: so we're only getting little ones and it's like, oh

1328
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: my god. Like the game itself, I still to this day,

1329
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen it, but just kind

1330
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: of following it, and it went so long that we

1331
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: actually were driving by minute made right as the last

1332
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: run was scored the Texans excuse me, Astros scored the

1333
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: winning run. We were going right by Minim Park. Just

1334
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: incredible to think about. My last night was a little

1335
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: different because both games are going on simultaneously and it

1336
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: was not playing that way, of course, and there've been

1337
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people that, you know, when it's when

1338
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: the Texans Twitter account, our social apartment department put out

1339
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 1: the tweet about We're red tonight and idiots are coming

1340
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: back like it's just supporting the Phillies. No, it's not,

1341
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 1: you idiots. That was about the Texans having this plan

1342
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 1: for a full year. This was planned for a full

1343
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: year to where the battle red helmets, to where the

1344
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: battle red jerseys. This was planned when the schedule was released.

1345
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a whole year, but close enough.

1346
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 1: And so all a sudden, we're just gonna change on

1347
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: a flight man, forget you. And here's what I said

1348
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 1: in the pregame. I got on a little soapbox during

1349
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: the pregame because I just get a little tired of

1350
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: feeling like people got to choose sides and Astros or

1351
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: Texans like no, like they're both yours, they're both yours.

1352
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 1: Celebrate them both. And yeah, I know the Texans haven't

1353
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: given people a lot of chance to celebrate things lately.

1354
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: But you're starting to see the warm turn. You're seeing

1355
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 1: these young guys step up and make some plays. You're

1356
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 1: going toe to toe with the number one team in

1357
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 1: the league and land in your own handmakers At a

1358
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 1: time where it's fourteen fourteen and a half, it's twenty

1359
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: one seventeen going on the fourth quarter, So you can

1360
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: love both teams. It's okay, and look, think about the

1361
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: things that you love every now and again. They're gonna

1362
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: let you down from time to time. The Astros would

1363
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 1: let us down as sports fans in the twelve thirteen,

1364
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: fourteen years, right, But that's when the Texans were We're

1365
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: hitting their stridet eleven twelve, Obi gets here in fourteen,

1366
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: starts winning more division championships on top of that, while

1367
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 1: the Astros were struggling. Then the Astros start turning it around,

1368
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you got a couple of

1369
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: things going on the rockets the same thing. You know,

1370
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: they're trying to turn it around. You can like all

1371
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: of them. You don't have to pit one against the other.

1372
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: That's kind of my soapbox that I got on before

1373
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 1: the game, and I get on it now. It's okay

1374
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 1: to like both. It's okay to be disappointed that Texans

1375
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 1: didn't win, or didn't play ultimately as well as you

1376
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 1: wanted them to, or not go win a Super Bowl.

1377
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 1: That day's coming. It's coming. The Astros are in the

1378
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: midst of a dynastic run. Enjoy the heck out of it.

1379
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,679
Speaker 1: I know I am. I'm Houston man, and I haven't

1380
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 1: joined the heck out of it. I only got to

1381
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,600
Speaker 1: see two innings, but man, I was going crazy, go

1382
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: crazy for him. It's okay. It's totally okay. And when

1383
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: the Texans do start winning at a pretty high level,

1384
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 1: I think Troy Harriston's gonna be a big part of that.

1385
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 1: So let's get a little deep slant with Troy Harriston.

1386
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: I play us on Wednesday, but obviously I know things

1387
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 1: going on. Maybe you missed it, so let's play it again.

1388
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: Troy Harriston Deep Slant, deepec here, let's go. It's a

1389
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 1: deep Sign one one presented by Vixfinity. My guests this week,

1390
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: Fullback Troy Hairston and Troy. I don't know if you

1391
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: know this, but a lot of the players get asked

1392
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: who has the best hair on the team in another

1393
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: segment that we do, and everyone has picked you so far. Really,

1394
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: I didn't know if you knew that, but I felt

1395
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 1: like that was something that you could appreciate. No, I

1396
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: definitely appreciate that was the last person I thought of

1397
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: you picked. So is there a lot of time that

1398
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,759
Speaker 1: goes into your haircare routine? Not a bunch, not a bunch.

1399
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: It's as usually pretty simplest and a ponytailer. I let

1400
01:09:58,560 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 1: it down. I always let it down for a game,

1401
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: So yes, you do nothing too crazy though, just normal.

1402
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: We were googling your pictures at Central Michigan because there's

1403
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 1: a lot of as you know, a lot of Chippawas

1404
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: around here. Tyler Marcott, our videographer producer, extraordinary, he wanted

1405
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 1: to do this whole interview with you, and I would

1406
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: not let him because this is my interview. But we

1407
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 1: were talking about you at Central Michigan. You were He

1408
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:22,799
Speaker 1: said you were a Chippewa legend, which you were because

1409
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 1: you first team All Mac as a defensive end and

1410
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 1: then Cole Mac Defensive Player of the Year. And now

1411
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,759
Speaker 1: you come in you're fullback and you're dominating at fullback.

1412
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: So how have you been able to make that transition

1413
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: look so easy? Well, I wouldn't say legend. I just

1414
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,600
Speaker 1: got out. So the Chips call you their legends, so

1415
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I'm flattered, but it's just doing what

1416
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 1: I know how to do best, and that's just grind

1417
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: and work hard, and I guess play for someone other

1418
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: than myself, you know, I know the game of football

1419
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: is bigger than one person, so I just take that

1420
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 1: mindset to everything I do and it just kind of

1421
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,839
Speaker 1: worked out for me. So transitioning from off defense to defense,

1422
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, was that a hard transition for you? To

1423
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: make defense to offense? Sorry, defense to offense? Yes, Yeah,

1424
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: it's definitely a hard transition. It's a different world, even

1425
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,799
Speaker 1: everything down from the play calling is different. I responsibility, keys,

1426
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: all that stuff, So it's a it's a totally new

1427
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: world and it took a lot of studying and a

1428
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 1: lot of films watching film to kind of get it down.

1429
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm still learning, all right. Yeah, You've done a lot

1430
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 1: of blocking, a lot of tackling, So which one's more fun?

1431
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:30,919
Speaker 1: Which one do you enjoy more? Honestly, I'm miss defense,

1432
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 1: but tackling is more fun. Tackling is fun. Yeah, tackling

1433
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 1: is fun because that's what I've done most of my life.

1434
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: But it's also just as fun to block for Damian Pierce.

1435
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: So I'm glad you brought up Damian Pierce because you've

1436
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: always just talked about him with so much joy, and

1437
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 1: he talks about you the same way. You guys have

1438
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 1: a really nice friendship that I think you and I

1439
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 1: were talking about in the locker room one day. You

1440
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: said it started off in rookie minicamp, just the two

1441
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: of you, the two of you learning this offense, being

1442
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: the only rookies that room. Yeah. We So I had

1443
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:06,679
Speaker 1: started here as a linebacker and Damien was by himself

1444
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 1: in that room during training camp, and everybody knows training

1445
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: camp as a grind. So when I have finally transition,

1446
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: he had came up to me, and I haven't talked

1447
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,760
Speaker 1: to DP at that time a lot. He came up

1448
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:18,560
Speaker 1: to me. He's like, I'm so glad you in this

1449
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 1: room with me because now we can do this together.

1450
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 1: And so ever since then, we hit it off. We

1451
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 1: work hard, we talk to each other, we communicate well,

1452
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: we got chemistry back there is as ever since then

1453
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 1: has been click right right away. So and you and

1454
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 1: he says that when you're blocking from you always he

1455
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: always you always check with him afterwards like how was that?

1456
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 1: How was that for you? Every play? Yeah? And I

1457
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: think he I think sometimes I feel like I can

1458
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: get annoying about it, but it's like for me, like

1459
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 1: whatever I gotta do to propel him to where he

1460
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:52,600
Speaker 1: needs to be or do what he need to do

1461
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:54,719
Speaker 1: and do what he do best and run that ball

1462
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: the way you do. I try to perfect it. So

1463
01:12:57,760 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 1: after every play that we run in the game, after

1464
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:01,880
Speaker 1: you play, we run into practice. What'd you see? How

1465
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: does this look? Do you want me to stem this way?

1466
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: Do you want me to give more of an inside look?

1467
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 1: How does it look? So I just try to get

1468
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 1: his perspective so I know what I'm doing next time

1469
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:12,639
Speaker 1: I go out in block firms. We saw you catch

1470
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 1: a few passes as well, So what was that like

1471
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: for you to get involved in the offense in a

1472
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: little bit of a different way. Um, it's cool. I

1473
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,720
Speaker 1: mean I'm used to mostly playing without the ball, so

1474
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: Pep always says like, you gotta learn how to play

1475
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: without the ball to be able to get a shot,

1476
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 1: to get to get the ball. So yeah, just it's

1477
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: just something that I do to help my team, you

1478
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I know a lot of defenses

1479
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,640
Speaker 1: aren't expecting it. So yeah, I think Pep. Pep is

1480
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 1: the one that said we don't talk about you enough.

1481
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: I think he called you a ball of butcher knives,

1482
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 1: a rolling ball of butcher knives, or something like along

1483
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: those lines. And I thought that was really funny. But

1484
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: what does that mean to you to know that the

1485
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 1: coaches are looking at what you're doing and they see

1486
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 1: so much value even if you don't have the ball

1487
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: in your hands, and what you're able to do. I

1488
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 1: think it's important that that I know that the coaches

1489
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 1: trust me and that they're they're counting on me, And

1490
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: that's all I want, Like, I want be able to

1491
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 1: people to be able to trust me and count on

1492
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: me and know that when when it comes down to it,

1493
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the players I need to make, or

1494
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: make the blocks I need to make. So I love

1495
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 1: that your story at Central Michigan started off with you

1496
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: as an equipment manager. Yeah, how much has that really

1497
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 1: shaped too you are as a player. It seems like

1498
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 1: you're so unselfish off the field, but you have a

1499
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: chance sort of watch the game from from a distance

1500
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 1: and then get involved in it. I mean, how has

1501
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 1: that just sort of molded your your view on getting

1502
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 1: to play in the NFL. Now, I'm a big believer

1503
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 1: and everything happened for a reason. I think that that

1504
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 1: gave me some type of appreciation for the game on

1505
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 1: the level after high school. It showed me, like I guess, like,

1506
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: you're not bigger than anyone because I started off as

1507
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 1: an equipment manager. Like anybody, it doesn't matter who you

1508
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: don't know where people can end up. So it just

1509
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 1: showed me like to stay humble and keep your head

1510
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,960
Speaker 1: down on grind, and anybody can can do whatever they

1511
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 1: put their mind to as long as they work hard

1512
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 1: enough at it. So you're under after you're a linebacker,

1513
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: now you're a fullback. You're a really important part of

1514
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: this offense. I read a story that you were living

1515
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 1: in a townhouse with your dad. Are you still living

1516
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 1: with your dad? How's that going? He's still okay? So

1517
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 1: you are still roomies, and that you had not very

1518
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: much furniture. You're kind of, you know, like sort of

1519
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:19,800
Speaker 1: saving your money or I don't know what you would

1520
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:21,759
Speaker 1: call it. Is that being minimal Is that being frugal?

1521
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: What is that? I guess it's a kind of a

1522
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: minimalist idea. But at the time, you know, as undrafted,

1523
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,680
Speaker 1: you don't get that big signing bonus, so you know,

1524
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 1: for me, it was like more of like whatever I

1525
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:35,640
Speaker 1: needed in the house, which was a mattress and a

1526
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: TV and Wi Fi. So okay, whatever that was that's

1527
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:41,679
Speaker 1: what I got, and I just that's all I needed

1528
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 1: because most of the time I was going to be

1529
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 1: here anyway. You're not really at home much anyway, especially

1530
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 1: during the season. How does having your dad help you out?

1531
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: Does he watch film? Does he like coach you up?

1532
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: Or will you go home? Do you guys have conversations?

1533
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: You do dinner? We we do, We do talk. But

1534
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 1: sometimes I got to remind him as a different level,

1535
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: so like he like, what do you think about this?

1536
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 1: Not give him my insight or whatever. He will watch

1537
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,680
Speaker 1: some plays over and stuff like that. But most most

1538
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 1: of the time, honestly, when we talk about football is

1539
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: because he's playing me and DP at Madden. Oh is

1540
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:15,560
Speaker 1: that right? Yeah? Yeah, And that's surreal. That's crazy to me.

1541
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 1: So to see yourself in mad literally Damien literally yeah,

1542
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: like me in front of Damien, Like that's crazy. All right.

1543
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: So what's the new furniture that you've got to have

1544
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: you added anything else besides the mattress? I got a

1545
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: ping pong table in a living room. Okay, I'll make

1546
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: you better in the locker room a little bit. I've

1547
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 1: played a couple of times, so okay, I got a

1548
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:39,719
Speaker 1: sectional for for a decent price TV stand, another TV,

1549
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 1: just necessities. I got a bed frame now, so no

1550
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: longer mattress on the floor. Yeah. So my dad brought

1551
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: my PC and I got a little desk. You're all

1552
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 1: set up? Yeah, all right, So now you're all set

1553
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:52,640
Speaker 1: up in Houston. I know you haven't had a lot

1554
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 1: of free time. But like, for fans that are listening,

1555
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,759
Speaker 1: what do you like to do when you're not playing football,

1556
01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: when you're not at home? Honestly, I've gotten a couple

1557
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 1: of chances to do it. But the museums around here, yeah,

1558
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 1: it's real nice. I missed out on them. I went

1559
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 1: to the Natural History Museum, Okay, I missed out on

1560
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 1: the Egyptian exhibit. Okay, so I have to go back

1561
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 1: and go see that. Okay, I've been told it's pretty good.

1562
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Okay, I haven't seen it myself. Yeah,

1563
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 1: I know. There was a NASA exhibit that was sort

1564
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 1: of traveling. It was at Rice for a little while

1565
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 1: at NASA. Obviously you can check out your museum. Guy,

1566
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 1: what have you thought about Houston? Coming from Michigan to Houston.

1567
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:33,680
Speaker 1: It's different, It's definitely different. Um, Houston's huge, Like I

1568
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: have like really discovered very small portion of Houston. I'm

1569
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 1: only familiar with around NRG and around the Rice Village area,

1570
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: but I'm hoping to branch out when we really get

1571
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,880
Speaker 1: some time so see some more stuff. And I know

1572
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot out here to do, so all right,

1573
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you need any suggestions, I would just

1574
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:55,639
Speaker 1: go on Twitter and ask fans because people have lots

1575
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 1: of opinions. There's lots to do in Houston. And I

1576
01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 1: can do poles now, so you can do poles and

1577
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:01,640
Speaker 1: you'll get a lot of feedback. Troy. It's been a

1578
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 1: pleasure to get to know you a little bit better.

1579
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: Best elect for the rest of season. Thank you. As

1580
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: I said on Wednesday, you hear that and you're like, oh,

1581
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: that's a sweet guy. Man, I like him, And then

1582
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: you see him on a field and you're like, that

1583
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: dude is a killer. He is a straight, stone cold killer,

1584
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: and I love it. Defensive mindset, taking the offensive side

1585
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 1: of the ball. That formula works ninety nine point nine

1586
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 1: percent of the time. Ninety nine point nine percent of

1587
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 1: the time. Now you need that last one percent, Well,

1588
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:29,719
Speaker 1: you go to number one. So how about a little

1589
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 1: Drew's dozen with Trey Man's myth. So we're here one

1590
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: of the greatest special teamers in franchise history. Tremont Smith.

1591
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 1: You ready for some Jenga? Yes, sir, I ain't played

1592
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: it in a minute, but I'm ready Marvel a DC.

1593
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm not big in neither, but I definitely have to

1594
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 1: go Marvel. Okay, you got a favorite one? No, I don't,

1595
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:50,639
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not being into it, but if anything,

1596
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 1: it would be Marvel. Which teammate is the best hype man?

1597
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: Who get you up? I go Tavia Thomas? Okay, Tavia Thomas.

1598
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: What's he do? How? So he just he just says

1599
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: stuff that you know that are getting under my skin

1600
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: that it made me go play mad and just go

1601
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: make a play. So can you give us an example?

1602
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 1: He'd like, you look real weak on that last play,

1603
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 1: like go make a play, or you missed that tackle,

1604
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: like stop missing the tackle, make a taple. He supposed

1605
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 1: to have four or five tackles this game. So he'll

1606
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 1: just say something a little like that was he in

1607
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 1: your ear before you pop that ball? So I was

1608
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 1: just he was just emphasizing I need to make a play.

1609
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:22,719
Speaker 1: And then he was like, your mom's in the stand,

1610
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 1: go make a play and he was like after the play,

1611
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: he was like, your mom need to come to every game.

1612
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 1: You always make a play with your mom here. So okay,

1613
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:29,880
Speaker 1: that's good. That's one of the few times when you

1614
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: can invoke somebody's mom and make him play better and

1615
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: you know you're not not pissing somebody off. Where was
