Speaker 2: It is Executive vice president and general manager of your

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: Houston Texans, Nick Caserio.

27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: He had a lot to say. I hope he saw

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: his press conference.

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: We went through some of that here with him and

30
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: then some here's Nick Cassario with Mark and myself.

31
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: Joining us in studio.

32
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 3: Executive vice President and general Manager, Nick Cassario.

33
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Nick, great to see a happy bye week, fellas. Good

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: to see it. Good to be here.

35
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: All right, Let's start with the news about disease. I

36
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: know this hit hard, three games suspension and Nick, one

37
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: thing you pointed out in your press conference that I

38
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 3: think everybody needs to know is what kind of man

39
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: we're talking about here off the field as well as

40
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: on the field. What he means to this football team,

41
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 3: the community, all of it.

42
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 4: Really tremendous person, tremendous human beings, done a lot for

43
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: the football team both on and off the field. So

44
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: and he's a good football player and his story is

45
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 4: well chronicled. What he means I would say to his family,

46
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: multiple teams, has been a social da with He's basically

47
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 4: been around Demiko for his entire career, So think highly

48
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: of Asease. So whatever the process is, will kind of

49
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: work through it and to make modifications and adjustments as

50
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 4: we see fit.

51
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: Not having the experience that Dimico did with his ease,

52
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: what's your experience been like with his ease?

53
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: Nick? Getting to know him this year since he's been.

54
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 5: Here, tremendous, you know.

55
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 4: I mean, he's soft spoken, has a big heart, cares

56
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 4: a lot about people, pours into people, pours into his teammates.

57
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: I mean, everything that you really want, I would say,

58
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: in a football player to represent your program. So just

59
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: from Afar, having played against him even when he was

60
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 4: back in San Francisco, and then having played in against

61
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: him last year when he's with the Titans, you know,

62
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: this was somebody that you had a lot of respect

63
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 4: and admiration for from Afar and then we're able to

64
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 4: see it up close and personal on a day to

65
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: day basis and no surprising that.

66
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 5: And he's had the career that he's had.

67
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: All right, the football part of this obviously with the

68
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: bye week, yeah, Miami next, but you have time to

69
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: get ready knowing that you're not going to have him,

70
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: so you have a lot to work with there at

71
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 3: the linebacker position.

72
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do.

73
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 4: And we've had to play a few games without him

74
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 4: here this season because of injuries, so Henry's logged a

75
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 4: lot of snaps. Neville's had his opportunity to play, Devin

76
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: Whites had some snaps. We'll see where we are with

77
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 4: Christian Harris in terms of getting him back in the fold.

78
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: So whoever we have will make it work. But overall

79
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: that room, like we feel we have a lot of depth.

80
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 4: Jake Hansen's another player. I mean he's made more of

81
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 4: a contribution a kicking game, but when Jake's had to

82
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: play defensively, he's gone in there and given us some snaps.

83
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 4: And del Shaan also has experience playing. So we'll figure

84
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: out what we have to do and try to make

85
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: it work. Kind of the one new edition potentially would

86
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: be Christian you know, if we get him back, which

87
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 4: there's a possibility that will happen. So whatever we got

88
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: to do, we'll make the most of.

89
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: It at that position.

90
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: You know, one guy that you mentioned was Neville Hewitt

91
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: under you were asked about him and your presser Nick,

92
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: and he's a guy that you feel his presence on

93
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: special teams. But when he's had to go in there

94
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: that Green Bay game, he gets that pick early on,

95
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: he made a number of nice plays. He tipped that

96
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: pass late in a game that almost got picked off.

97
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: What has he meant he's been here, He's maybe been

98
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: here your whole stints that you've been here. What has

99
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: he meant to the Texas organization since he's gotten here.

100
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we talked about him, I think a little bit

101
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: earlier in the year. Like when you look up to

102
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 4: in a dictionary the word professional, I mean, Neville embodies it.

103
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 5: And when he's ever had his.

104
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: Opportunity to play more defensively, he usually takes advantage of it.

105
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 4: But the way he approaches his job, the way he works,

106
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: the way he cares, just his overall thought process and

107
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: mindset and he embraces his role whatever that is. Can't

108
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: say enough about how he's handled his entire career. And

109
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 4: I think we were very purposeful when we added Neville

110
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: to the team back when we first arrived here. However

111
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 4: many years ago, that was having played against him multiple

112
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: times because he had played for the Jets, right, he'd

113
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: played for the Dolphins. So here's a player you have

114
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 4: some degree of familiarity with like as he's different, but

115
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: havn't played against him having seen him, and we felt

116
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 4: that he would have a role in some capacity, whether

117
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 4: it's defensively or in a kicking game, and it's kind

118
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 4: of come to fruition.

119
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: His story is such a great example.

120
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: And this might be more of an obfosely in conversation,

121
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: but in your press conference you talked about talent. Yeah,

122
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: everybody's got talent, but it's what you do with it.

123
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: It's the work you do every day that really matters.

124
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: Maybe you are a special teams player that can play

125
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: as well eleven on eleven in a regular defense offense situation,

126
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: you can really add to your arsenal personally.

127
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: It's the work you put in.

128
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: Right, Absolutely, it's not necessarily how you get into a building.

129
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 4: It's what you do with those opportunities when you walk

130
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: in a building. And Neville like a lot, we have

131
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: a number of players like in our building. Is certainly

132
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: emblematic of that whole notion or idea. So speaks to

133
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: who he is as a person, his mindset, the work

134
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 4: that he puts in the offseason. He's always prepared, He's

135
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 4: always ready to go in the event that there is

136
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: an opportunity he has to go play. Then teammates trust

137
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 4: him to do the right thing, and he's warn to

138
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 4: green Dot, which is not easy to do.

139
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 5: So you have the.

140
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: Communication coming from the sideline from Demiko and then you

141
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: have to disseminate that information to the front.

142
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: So he's handled everything really really well.

143
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: So longer question in is sense, Nick, But I have

144
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: always talked about We've talked to others that I've always said, Look,

145
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: you don't know until Thanksgiving what kind of team you've got,

146
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: Like you really don't know what that true team is

147
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 2: by Thanksgiving. It's kind of dow with the bye week.

148
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: We've never had a bye week this late, so now

149
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: we got to BUYE week. But I think we know

150
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: what kind of team we already have. I know you've

151
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: got a self scout, but you guys do that every

152
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: single week as it is, and you probably did it

153
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: back when you had the mini BUYE because we weren't

154
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: going to have a BUYE until week fourteen as it was.

155
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: So I know you have to self scout.

156
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: I know you have to do that, but is there

157
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: a different focus because of when the bye week is

158
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: and what you have coming.

159
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: Up after the bye week, not necessarily. I think the

160
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 4: point is you make that you're always kind of self

161
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 4: scouting your team really week to week, because you go

162
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 4: through the game.

163
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 5: What happened in the game, What do we do well?

164
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 5: What didn't work?

165
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 4: We have to make an adjustment personnel scheme, a little

166
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 4: bit less of this, a little more of this, and

167
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 4: then as the year goes, you have another checkpoint. All right,

168
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 4: you know, you know, because you have more of a

169
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: body of work that team. See now you kind of

170
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 4: have a natural breakpoint. So now we can kind of

171
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 4: take a step back and say, all right, over these

172
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: next four weeks, regardless of who we play, what are

173
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 4: some of the things that we want to carry that

174
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: are consistent? What are some things that may be specific

175
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: to the opponent? Which goes to your opponent study so

176
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 4: whis the next opportunity will be Miami. So it's constantly

177
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: moving and evolving. It's not all of a sudden you

178
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 4: play thirteen games. Now, let's self skuid our team because

179
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 4: we have to buy and then figure out what's happening

180
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: or what's going on. So try to stay ahead of

181
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 4: it as much as you can. And you're not gonna

182
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 4: tell even teams coming off the by even like going

183
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: back to Jacksonville this past week, there was a good

184
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: chance they were going to make some adjustments and modifications,

185
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 4: but within their scheme. It wasn't if they're going to

186
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: like a brand new scheme or kind to come there

187
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 4: with a bunch of new ideas. That typically is not

188
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: gonna happen. But if you have something that might give

189
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: you an advantage each week, then you might try to

190
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 4: implement it.

191
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: Running game, Nick, in the first half against Jacksonville, it's

192
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: not what you want it to be. In the second half,

193
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: it's what you want it to be, and you were

194
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 3: able to end the game with the ground game. What

195
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: is there to that team sticking with that ground game.

196
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: It's got to be tough, especially when it's not quite

197
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: there yet. But where's teams down or whatever happens in

198
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: the second half when it starts to really take hold.

199
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: Sometimes the run game is really about volume, so you

200
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: want to try it. However many carries you think you

201
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 4: want to have going into the game, maybe that comes

202
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 4: to fruition, maybe it doesn't. Let's say, in the first half,

203
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: Jacksonville a good job taking someone away some of the

204
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 4: edge runs. We weren't able to kind of get it,

205
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: maybe blocked a certain way, or they did a good

206
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 4: job with their front the way they schematically defended it.

207
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: In the second half, we were able to hit cond

208
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: of the inside zone there that Joe popped out, then

209
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: we got the run to the edge for the touchdown,

210
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: and then even some of the plays at the end

211
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 4: of the game were well blocked and were ill executed.

212
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 4: So sometimes it comes down to really just settling in

213
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: how are they playing the front, what runs maybe match

214
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 4: up with that front, coming back to kind of what

215
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: John and I were just talking about, maybe a little

216
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 4: bit more of this, a little bit less of that.

217
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 5: So that's kind of how the run game sort of evolves.

218
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: And sometimes it's about volume and then at some point

219
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: you pop one and then it makes the picture look

220
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 4: a whole lot better.

221
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: Now.

222
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: I know after the game, Demko gave the offensive line

223
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: a game ball, but I'm gonna push hard for Kate

224
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: Stover Robert Woods. So the wide receivers and tight ends

225
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: blocking because some of the blocks that those guys had,

226
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: in particular Kid Doll made a few, but Kate in particular,

227
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: and I know we've talked about k before and what

228
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: you liked about him when he was coming out Ohio

229
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: State and we had him in here. We had him

230
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 2: in the studio and he talked about the Minnesota game

231
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: and how the Minnesota game was like this light going

232
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: on moment, like I'm not having that happen again, Like

233
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: I'm not having that happen again.

234
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: And Joe has mentioned it, if eighty seven.

235
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: To in front of me, I'm following eighty seven, how

236
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: much has Caid meant in the receivers, to the blocking.

237
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: To make sure that Joe sprinks some of those runs

238
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: that he had.

239
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: And this offense is huge, it's paramount. It's actually something

240
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 4: that we talk about in the offseason in terms of

241
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: player acquisition. It's some you're gonna have to be able

242
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 4: to handle that responsibility. Some can handle it better than others.

243
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 4: You're not asking every player to do the same thing.

244
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 4: But I would say, Kate, it's interesting just going back

245
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: to the whole notion of like self scout. Yeah, like

246
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 4: here's a good example of an individual self scout looking

247
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: at the Minnesota game. Minnesota is a good front Gernard

248
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 4: van Ginkel. Some things that happened during the course of

249
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: the game. I know exactly what he's talking about. It's like,

250
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: all right, well wait a minute, like I don't want

251
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 4: this to happen, so all right, technique, he usually goes

252
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 4: back to your fundamentals, your foundation that you put in place.

253
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: Cade's as mentally and physically tough as any player that

254
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 4: we have on a team, cares a lot about football,

255
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: wants to improve, and he has improved. And for Joe

256
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: to say that speaks to the trust that he has

257
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 4: in kid. And then just going back to Robert, the

258
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: block that he made on the last play went in

259
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: there and basically sealed off Miller and that was able

260
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: to create a little bit of space. And Robert's done

261
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: that multiple times over the course of his career. So

262
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 4: that's why you have Robert Woods on your football team.

263
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: So he does some of those hidden things and not

264
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 4: everybody sees. I would categorize him as kind of a

265
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 4: glue guy, and he brings so much to the table,

266
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: which is why he's here.

267
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: But you look at the numbers throughout his career, Nick,

268
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: this guy's got some pelts. You're not going to find

269
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: that many. I would think that many veteran receivers who

270
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: have done what he's done who are willing to do

271
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: that as well.

272
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: Speaks to his selflessness, he speaks to his mindset and

273
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 4: just embracing the whole team concept. I mean, I've known

274
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 4: about Robert Woods since when he was in Buffalo, how

275
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 4: good of a receiver that he is, and then when

276
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: he went to the Rams. I mean, this guy's put

277
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 4: up seventy eighty ninety reception seasons. His role has evolved

278
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 4: over the course of his career, never complained, has embraced

279
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 4: his job, and he goes out there and he helps

280
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 4: the team win.

281
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 5: That's all you can ask for in players.

282
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: Ninety five yard bomb against US in twenty seventeen. Yeah,

283
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to be I don't want

284
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: to be reminded of that.

285
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put two plays to get well, not two plays,

286
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: but one play that was an offensive play to point

287
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: out something about a rookie.

288
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: On the last play.

289
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: Of the game, Robert has that block on Ventrum Miller,

290
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: and if you watch it closely, you see the Jacksonville

291
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: Jaguars corner does not engage at all, like he's just like, no,

292
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: I'm out here, and the run runs right at him.

293
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: Kamario Lassiter couldn't be more opposite of that, Like.

294
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: If the run is coming his way, he he's diving

295
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: in like he's a linebacker. And I know when we

296
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: talk about corners, you talk about speed and how does

297
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: he cover and do all that? How much of the

298
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: analysis Nick, when you were doing it draft wise, and

299
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: this satisfies the contractual obligation of asking about a rookie

300
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: of Kamari, it's stiver already.

301
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's over, So I get too, that's tough.

302
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: For how much was Kamari's desire to be physical in

303
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: the run game kind of add to his draft evaluation

304
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 2: As you guys are.

305
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 4: Looking at it, significant part of it. The corners have

306
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 4: to tackle in this defense, Noah fans Or buts about

307
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 4: so if you have a player that doesn't have the

308
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 4: right mindset, that's not willing to tackle, it doesn't have

309
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 4: the capacity to tackle, regardless of how well he covers,

310
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 4: then we have to really think hard and long about

311
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: that particular player. But that was the thing about Kamari

312
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 4: last letter that continue to show up physical, tough contact player,

313
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: wants to insert, wants to be a part of the

314
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 4: run force. He plays corner with a linebacker mentality, Probably

315
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 4: not too many corners like that. But that's i'd say

316
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,119
Speaker 4: a big part was a big part of the evaluation

317
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: in one of the reason instead he's here.

318
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: All right, So Johnny doesn't have a scouting question this week.

319
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: Tractual scouting report on the bye weekend.

320
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: I got one scouting the buye all right.

321
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: So if I gave you two choices, you have this

322
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: buy or you have the earliest bye possible.

323
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: If you want the earliest or the latest, let.

324
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 5: Me take the latest.

325
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 4: Okay, it's the best for the team just from a

326
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: physically mentally give them a chance to recover. So it's

327
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 4: a work and to grind to get to that point.

328
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 4: And we've kind of the schedule has kind of been

329
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: a little bit different this year. We've kind of had

330
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: just some different breaks or stops and starts. You need

331
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 4: to play Thursday night, you have an extra day or so.

332
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 4: The players probably would like it right in the middle.

333
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 4: Sometimes early by it's almost as if well we're not

334
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 4: like quite ready. It's like it's two the buys here already, yeah,

335
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 4: and then you got to play another however many games,

336
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 4: so we'll have the latest possible, so we'll take it.

337
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: How does the Hall of Fame game.

338
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: The start of training camp mid July basically factor into.

339
00:13:58,720 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: All of this.

340
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 4: We started earlier than everybody else, so I think from

341
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 4: the players just physical, just well being, they're probably feeling that.

342
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 4: So we go back six weeks of training camp, three

343
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: preseason games, thirteen games in a regular season.

344
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a lot of football.

345
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 4: It's taxing on everybody, players, coaches, staff, support systems. So

346
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 4: it's good opportunity really for everybody to kind of refresh, unwind,

347
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 4: get some time outside of the building, but also understand

348
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 4: come back with the right mindset ready to go for

349
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 4: the stretch run.

350
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: Here, it's like being a teacher on an in service day.

351
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: Students are all gone. The teacher is good to hang

352
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: out and do that. But after the bye and it's

353
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: I don't even know if I want to look forward

354
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: to that. In some sense, we all need some rest.

355
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: But then it's a full week from Miami and then

356
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: a shorter week for Kansas City and then a really

357
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: short week for Baltimore. I know you can't look at

358
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: him in totality, but it is three games in ten days. Nick,

359
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: I know you guys have probably thought through the process

360
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: of going through that a we know it's gonna be difficult,

361
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: but be what's kind of the plan on handlings those

362
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: three games that's.

363
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: Such a short amount of time. It gets really good

364
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: football teams. Yeah.

365
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 4: Sure, you really have to kind of pre plan the

366
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 4: schedule a little bit, at least from a staff standpoint,

367
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 4: know how you're going to handle it. Miami sort of

368
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 4: a normal week, and then once a Miami game is over,

369
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 4: it'll be normal to a point, and then you obviously

370
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: have to flip the page, like playing on Thursday night

371
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 4: when you have a Sunday game, So this time it's

372
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 4: Saturday for Wednesday. So we'll make some adjustments modifications as needed.

373
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 4: The most important thing was just getting the players as

374
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 4: healthy and as fresh as they can be for that

375
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 4: opportunity once at home ones on a road. So it's

376
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 4: pretty balanced that way. So in terms of the preparation,

377
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: we'll have certain members of the staff look ahead a

378
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: little bit, kind of work on the preparation so they

379
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: can get the information to the coaches so they can

380
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 4: kind of flip the page quickly from one opponent of

381
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 4: the next.

382
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: Well, the interesting thing is after the Ravens game on Christmas,

383
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: then you get another mini buy before the regular season finale.

384
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 5: That's exactly right.

385
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 4: So we've kind of had these like miniature sort of

386
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 4: buys in around the full scale.

387
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: One week by you were asked about sedge Straut in

388
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: the press conference, and you look at CJ's numbers, top

389
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: five in the league in passing yards, and here you

390
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 3: are eating five as a starter in year two. And

391
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: I think people sometimes overlook the facts, which is the

392
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: Texans are winning and he's the starting quarterback in his

393
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: second year.

394
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't articulate that any better.

395
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 5: Mark.

396
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 4: So CJ has had a really good year. He's played

397
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 4: a lot of good football for us. So certainly some

398
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: plays I'm sure he would probably look at it and

399
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 4: tell you, you know, I'd like to have that back

400
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: here a little bit. But he's going up there multiple

401
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 4: times and talked about shoot or shoot, which that's his mentality,

402
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 4: that's his mindset, so he wants to play a certain way.

403
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 5: So played a lot of good football. So glad he's

404
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 5: our quarterback.

405
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: I bet if we did a scout on report of Miami,

406
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: you could give it to us right now.

407
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 5: I probably couldn't.

408
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: Actually, I'll go I'll go with this. We won't go

409
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: full school.

410
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: We won't go full scouting report, but it's too tongue

411
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: by a law, and we've seen him make progress.

412
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: Talk about quarterbacks going through adversity.

413
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: I remember being there and I think it's twenty twenty

414
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: one and I'm watching him before the game walk up

415
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: and down a field. I'm like, Okay, get ready for two,

416
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, he doesn't start, like whoa,

417
00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: this is weird.

418
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: In all a sudd the offense changes a little bit.

419
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: What are you seeing in the growth of Tua and

420
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: what do you think that sort of teaches you about

421
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: quarterback growth and mindset.

422
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 4: I think it's a really good profile and a really

423
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 4: good case study, and it's a good reminder for young players.

424
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 4: Everybody's gonna deal with some ups and downs, and then

425
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 4: when you get in a situation that kind of works

426
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 4: for everybody, then you can maximize your talents and your opportunities.

427
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 4: And I mean, Mike's done a great job, there's no

428
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 4: question about it, since he's been the head coach. A

429
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 4: really good system, probably a lot of elements that are

430
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 4: similar to our system. But two has always been an

431
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 4: accurate passer and they have a lot of good skill,

432
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 4: a lot of fasts will probably be. I mean, honestly,

433
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 4: between them and Baltimore, like two of the fastest teams

434
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 4: we're going to play, they just put a lot of

435
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: stress on you defensively. But relative to Tua, he's done

436
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: a really nice job. He's a good player, He's had

437
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 4: to deal with some things medically. A lot of respect

438
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 4: for him, great person, really good quarterback. So he's certainly

439
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 4: going to present some challenges in that game.

440
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: Is this the first time we're facing the left this year?

441
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: I think I play a role play.

442
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 2: I mean, that sounds like something that that your former boss,

443
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick would a hot you know, his left the

444
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: ball spins differently like that sounds like something he would

445
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: have brought up.

446
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: But does that matter?

447
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: Yes and no, I think you might want to just

448
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 4: look at the past distribution. You know with left handed quarterbacks,

449
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 4: is it more tilted toward one side than the other. So,

450
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 4: I mean you look at some different things, but in

451
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 4: the end, make good decisions and accurate with the ball.

452
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 4: It might affect right tackle, left tackle, maybe how you

453
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 4: deploy those folks, But other than that.

454
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 5: How well does he play quarterback?

455
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 4: And just having you're reading a quarterback and have an

456
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 4: understanding if it's come out of the left hands, come

457
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 4: out of the left hand, and just play it accordingly.

458
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: So college football playoff coming up?

459
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 3: How does that affect how you scout athletes getting ready

460
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 3: for the draft? Do you deploy your scouts to go

461
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 3: out there? And are they lobbying for certain games because

462
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 3: you can get like the Bahamas bawl or something, But hey,

463
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 3: I got a college football playoff game over here.

464
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 4: Unless they have to see a specific player, or I

465
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 4: want to see a player specifically live, maybe a player

466
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 4: has been out because of injury or something's come up.

467
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 4: There's probably a good shot we won't watch see I'm

468
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: not say watch but see many bowl games live because

469
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 4: a lot of the work has been done. As matter

470
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 4: of fact, we're gonna kind of have our first round

471
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 4: of draft meetings here next week. We're gonna have our

472
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 4: road scouts in the building kind of start the initial

473
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 4: information gathering process. What do we need to know? What

474
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 4: do we need to find out over the next two

475
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 4: to three months. That's really the focus. But it's hard

476
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 4: to believe that we're already at that point.

477
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: But you could have certain guys who are okay during

478
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 3: the regular season and then their playoff primetime performers, and

479
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 3: that happens in the NFL.

480
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 4: Too, Yeah, and you have to be careful of just

481
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 4: putting too much stock in one particular game. So is

482
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 4: that one game or is that performance emblematic of what

483
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 4: they've showed over the course of their career. So you

484
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 4: have to just be careful because it works both ways.

485
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: I know Jim's got a staff of scouts, the guys

486
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: that have been around the league for a while with

487
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: the Senior Bowl, and I know Eric Galco with East

488
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: West he's got people that work with him, and so

489
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: they've got people in their building. But how much do

490
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: those guys talk to you about talk to you and

491
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: the scouts and throughout the league about players that's you, Hey,

492
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: this guy from Iowa.

493
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: What do you guys think of them?

494
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: Or if you guys want to see a guy down

495
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: at Seill, how much do you discuss that.

496
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: With those those guys.

497
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 4: Each team's probably a little bit different. We're not typically

498
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 4: involved in those conversations. We might have more intimate conversations

499
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 4: when we're there on the premise. So talk to Jim

500
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 4: the Senior Bowl a little bit, or maybe talk to

501
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 4: Eric at the East West. But they have a good

502
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 4: process in place. It's funny when you go to a

503
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 4: college game, you'll see somebody from the Senior Bowl or

504
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 4: somebody from the East West because they're kind of doing

505
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: the same thing. They're trying to recruit identify certain players

506
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 4: that they think other teams would want to see. So

507
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 4: we try to stay out of that, including the combine

508
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 4: process as well. So whoever is there and available will evaluate,

509
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 4: but we probably try to stay out of it in

510
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 4: terms of making any recommendations.

511
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: I know you're always plugged in, but for a player,

512
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: is it best to unplug during the buy or kind

513
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: of keep the iPad or just device handy and look

514
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 3: at things and keep your mind on it a little bit.

515
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: It's probably case by case.

516
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 5: It's probably two fold.

517
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 4: Some player's staff prefer to go completely dark and that

518
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 4: works for them. Other players maybe they want to look

519
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 4: at something and kind of keep tabs on it so

520
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 4: you're never far from it. We're going to be thinking

521
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 4: about it, Demiko and I are going to be thinking

522
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 4: about it here over the next handful of days. Really,

523
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 4: where you kind of maybe get the extra unwine times

524
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 4: over the weekend because you just don't have the whether

525
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 4: it's Saturday night meeting, Sunday game, travel, Saturday Sunday game,

526
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: So say Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Those are the days where

527
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 4: you can probably step away. During the week probably going

528
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 4: through your routine. It's important to get away, but it's

529
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 4: also important to not do nothing. So you want to

530
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 4: make sure you're moving your body, you're staying active physically.

531
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 4: You're probably not gonna lose that much, but you just

532
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 4: don't want to kind of sit on your rump there

533
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 4: for seven days and then come back and think you're

534
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: going to be in good condition or spirits on Monday.

535
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 2: Do you wake up like Mark and I do in

536
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: a cold sweat on Sunday? Like yeah, and we're not

537
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: there because.

538
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: We're so used to it. The final exam.

539
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 4: Actually, I think I actually have to be an energy

540
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: on Sunday because my youngest daughter has a cheerleading competition.

541
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: I think to begin, I think I think that's right,

542
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 4: or it's the following week, but well you are now, Yeah,

543
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to be there at some point.

544
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: I think that could take a while. It sounds like

545
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: that's an all day thing.

546
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 3: Nick, All right, I'll bring this up with you because

547
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 3: we asked coach this. All right, so the girls want

548
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 3: to watch a movie, all right, one of these Pixar

549
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 3: animated type movies. You have these choices, okay, inside out, up,

550
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 3: sing Toy Story or Minions.

551
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 5: I'll say Minions.

552
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 4: And the only reason I'll say that because we actually

553
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 4: went this summer as a family to the movie theater

554
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 4: to watch Minions.

555
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: Part twelve or whatever it was.

556
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 5: They had a lot of fun. I had no idea

557
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 5: what was going on in the movie, so I still know.

558
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: What I couldn't jump into.

559
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 4: I couldn't really, so I was trying to figure out

560
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 4: how I can read a book in the movies, but

561
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 4: it didn't work.

562
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: We have to have a skit. Nick, thanks a lot

563
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: for us have fun on the bye.

564
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 5: Thanks thou love it.

565
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: Love the fact that man is a general manager of

566
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: this football team. I've said it since I got to

567
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: know him, starting here at twenty twenty one. I love

568
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: that he is here for this team. He's got the

569
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: right fire, he's got the right passion. He works his

570
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: butt off, he knows ball. He has everything you want

571
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 2: in a general manager. Nick Casario, your Houston Texans general manager. Okay,

572
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: we get back, Mark and I are gonna chop some

573
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 2: things up, including, Hey, what's kind of our thoughts on

574
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 2: how we feel a few days after the suspension was

575
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 2: laid down for disease and Hard Knocks is back and

576

Speaker 2: Mark Vandermer. We're having this discussion in the break about

582
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: AI and you asked me if I saw those Gemini ads,

583
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: Holy cow, Oh those things are trouble. That would I'm

584
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: not watching it. I'm watching it and my eyes just

585
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: I didn't say anything. My eyes just got wide, my

586
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: mouth open. I was like, oh my gosh.

587
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: And it was one of those It.

588
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: Was so kind of mesmerizing that I literally was like Jack,

589
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 2: I called him my son who loves technology and all

590
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. I called him in too late,

591
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 2: but I ran it back for him, and Jack is not.

592
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: It's interesting because Jack.

593
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 2: Knows kind of all the technological advances and things coming.

594
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: He just kind of watched it was like, yeah, that's

595
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Yeah. My reaction was like I couldn't even

596
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: get out of the Internet.

597
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: In high school and now yeah that we have this,

598
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 3: Oh I'm older than you. I had a mainframe we

599
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: used to use in college. Okay, with that printer paper

600
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: with the ends to it, and it was a mirror

601
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 3: that matrix they allowed you to turn in your papers

602
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 3: on that printer was cool. But for those who missed it,

603
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: Monday night football, the running these ads Gemini that's the

604
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 3: Google AI assistant, and people having actual conversations with this thing,

605
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 3: like making dinner and what do you suggest if I

606
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: don't have enough vinegar?

607
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: A you some salt?

608
00:24:58,760 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 6: You know?

609
00:24:59,000 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: The thing?

610
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the thing sounds so human and it is

611
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: frightening because eventually this thing is gonna be like I

612
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: don't think you should leave the house today. It's not safe. Yeah, wait,

613
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 3: you're not wearing your scarf. What are you doing. I'm

614
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 3: locking the door for your own safety. It'll start taking over.

615
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: We're all allowing the HAL nine thousand into our homes.

616
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 3: Now three people got that reference from the movie two

617
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 3: thousand and one, but it's worth saying, or what are

618
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 3: the terminator the robots called the T nine hundred or

619
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 3: something those exactly what we're all allowing that into our

620
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: homes now, and Elon Musk.

621
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: A lot of people like Elon. Now, some people don't.

622
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: I get it.

623
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: But Elon with those robots, are you kidding me? Those

624
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 3: robots they're gonna kill you. I saw I Robot with

625
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 3: Will Smith. I know what happens. I know how the

626
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: movie ends. It's not good. The Revenge of the Robots. Yeah,

627
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 3: it's happening. There's no question they're gonna be like you,

628
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 3: humans are idiots. We're much smarter. We're taking over. We'll

629
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 3: use you for batteries like we did in the Matrix.

630
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: In fact, you showed us that movie and it gave

631
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: us good ideas. So here we are anyway. I know

632
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 3: we're here to talk about but that just popped out

633
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: of my mind.

634
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we definitely will. But yesterday it was yesterday. Yesterday

635
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: it was Tuesday. Was driving home and so I've gotten

636
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 2: this habit now that I I live a little further

637
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: away from the stadium than I used to. I know

638
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: what I'll do a lot of times is what's coming.

639
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: I will I will listen to a documentary. Oh oh okay, good,

640
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah this is not what I thought. Yeah, so I

641
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: will listen to a documentary, and so I was listening

642
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: to one. I found this on Max and it was

643
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 2: called Game Changers, and it was it's a five or

644
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: six episode documentary about the rise of video games and

645
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: gaming systems and things like that, and it tells the

646
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 2: story The second, second or third episode tells the story

647
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: of Atari, and it's a great story. And the guy

648
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: Nolan Bushnell, who was the originator of Atari, he talked

649
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: about the very first kind of coin op machines they

650
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: put in bars and what these things look like, and

651
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: so I was so intrigued. I paused it and I

652
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: got to a stop sign or a stoplight so I

653
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 2: could look. I was like, holy cow, this is back

654
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy we were putting these like sign you know,

655
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: these sci fi looking like gaming machines in the bars,

656
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: and he was making millions off of this, and then

657
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: it just it just went like right to the next thing,

658
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: went right right to the next thing. And then eventually

659
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: Magnevox came up with a version of Pong. Nolan Bushnell

660
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: stole it, stole it, oh, kind of refined it, and

661
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 2: then put it out there as Pong, and of course

662
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: Magnavox was very, very disappointed about it.

663
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: It's a really interesting story.

664
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: But just seeing those machines made me think of, you

665
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: know what, back of the seventies we had and now

666
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, whoa we have. It's unbelievable how

667
00:27:54,560 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 2: technology just in fifty years has just gone gone.

668
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: Through the roof explode.

669
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: It exploded. It's absolutely crazy. Speaking of technology kind of

670
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 2: and TV. Please tell me that you didn't watched the

671
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: new Hard Knocks.

672
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: Did not watch it? I heard that Tomlin was great.

673
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: I'm telling you and I we talked about this a

674
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: little bit yesterday on and off the air. Sometimes when

675
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: you say it's the greatest thing I've ever said, you

676
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: go for the hyperbolic statement yeah, and it can either

677
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: fall really flat or it can.

678
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: Mean like, that's the dirtiest hit I've ever seen.

679
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, right, totally exaggerate something that's exactly Rightkay.

680
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I've watched every Hard Knocks. The only

681
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,959
Speaker 2: Hard Knocks episode that I will ever say is better

682
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: than the one that I watched WHOA was the one

683
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: that you and I called the Dallas game for our Hard.

684
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: Knocks because you hear our foots. That's it. Other than

685
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: that mark.

686
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: They The very first two and a half to three

687
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: minutes of the episode is all four AFC North coaches

688
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: up in front of their teams talking to their teams,

689
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: and it starts good morning, and then it goes to Pittsburgh.

690
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: It starts at Sit Sabazach Taylor, good morning, welcome back Pittsburgh, Tomlin,

691
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: good morning, let's lock in, and goes to John Harbaugh,

692
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: welcome back. You know it just it goes to all

693
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: four and it bounces back and forth between all four

694
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: of the coaches, and it's riveting because you're hearing what

695
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: they're saying to their teams about that particular week and

696
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: what's the message. And yes, Tomlin, who doesn't want to

697
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: be in hard knocks, is.

698
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: Going to be a star. He's a star.

699
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: So they get through that, and then it's a week

700
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: in which now they didn't they did a little bit

701
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: on the Browns because the Browns are playing on Monday night.

702
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: They're saving out for next week, so they didn't mention

703
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: the Rounds, but they did like a kind of a

704
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 2: four or five minute Steelers Bengals kind of back and forth, okay,

705
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: where they would show the Steelers talking about a certain

706
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: thing and then would show the Bengals talking about a certain

707
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: thing and Mark, I'm telling you, I'm.

708
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: Like, oh my god, this is awesome. It helps to

709
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: be able to bounce around, doesn't, yes very much.

710
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: So so they would they would show Zach Taylor talking

711
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 2: about a certain thing about the Steelers. Then they would

712
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: go to the Steelers showing the Steelers talk about a certain.

713
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: Thing about the Bengals, maybe related, maybe not.

714
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: Then they would show the coaches and players talking about

715
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: each other, talking about you know, Jamar Chase and Making

716
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick and Tomlin and Fitzpatrick are watching.

717
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: The film together. At one point, Toma looks at him

718
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: and they're talking about Chase goes, you don't like him,

719
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: do you?

720
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: Nah?

721
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't like that, dude. I mean it's it's really

722
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: really good.

723
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: The game itself lends to some things, but one of

724
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: the things that happened because and I love that.

725
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: During the week, Tomlin is.

726
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: Multiple times during the week, Mike Tomlin is talking to

727
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: Nick Herbig and Nick Herbig's the edge rusher right now.

728
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: Alex Heismith is out for the Steelers. Her Big is

729
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: is a kind of smaller but quicker guy opposite TJ.

730
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 2: Opposite TJ. So he's after her Big and he's like,

731
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: where's her big. He's in a team meeting and he's like,

732
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: her Big, where's her big?

733
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: You got zeus? This week? You got zeus Orlando Brown Junior.

734
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: And we know Orlando Brown Junior is a monster, right,

735
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: he's like six ' eight like three forty. Her BIG's

736
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: lucky if he's six one six ' two like two thirty.

737
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: I mean it is literally David Goliath. And they show

738
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: him talking to her Big, and I remembered from the

739
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 2: Steelers game, just seeing the box score, I remembered Herbig

740
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 2: made a play. So as I'm watching this, I'm like, Okay,

741
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 2: this is leading somewhere. But then they get into the

742
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: game and they didn't go back to it. But then

743
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: they get to this moment and they show her Big,

744
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: and then they show the three or four other times

745
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: during the week where Tomlin went over to her Big

746
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: and was like, you got big, zeus.

747
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Right?

748
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: Her Big just rips right, goes right around him, rips

749
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: under him, strips ball from Burrow Peyton Wilson picks it up,

750
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: goes in for a touchdown, and it makes Tomlin.

751
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: Look like this soothsayer.

752
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it just and what I loved about

753
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: it was he was challenging her big all week. He

754
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: was challenging him all week. He was challenging all week.

755
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: And then he's on the sideline and he's like, this

756
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: was no Fluke. You're meant to be here. You're that dude,

757
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: and you just showed him why. I was like, I

758
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: got chills.

759
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: Wow, it was Mark.

760
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: It was as good as you could you could ever imagine.

761
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I I was floored watching the episode, just

762
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: how well it was put together and the fact that

763
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 2: two of these teams are playing one another and you're

764
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: getting both perspectives in the same show.

765
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: Was it was.

766
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 3: It was most of it earlier in the season because

767
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 3: they've been following them a round. In fact, they pick

768
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 3: it up relatively recently. They mentioned four once they and

769
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 3: the only mentioned him as.

770
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: He's kind of The beginning of the season was difficult

771
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: and leave. Shreiber says, they lost to Sean Watson, they

772
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: lost some other players, and that's the only mention.

773
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: They don't give us the Watson stuff, not at.

774
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: All, not at least in this first episode. Not in

775
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: this first episode. They really didn't do a lot of

776
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: going flashback. They just jump right in. They hit a

777
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 2: little bit for a little bit for the teams.

778
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: But so he got ten games. Huh yeah. So we'll

779
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: be on there. We'll be on there where we play

780
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens.

781
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 2: That'll be interesting to see how that's handled.

782
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: They'll be here for christmas'll be here for Christmas. But

783
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: it's you know, I remember we had.

784
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: This conversation with John McClain talking about Hard Knocks and

785
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: where Hard Knocks is going and how do you keep

786
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: it interesting? And the Hard Knocks is like, let us

787
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 2: do an offseason giant said, okay, super super interesting, very interesting.

788
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: They gotta do it again this year.

789
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. And that's the tough part. What are

790
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: you gonna get if you do it? That's right?

791
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 2: And because I know Tomlin does not want to do

792
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: his Hard Knocks, I'm telling you he's coming off like

793
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: he's gonna come off as a superstar, an absolute star,

794
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 2: because of the way that he talked to play. George

795
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: Pickens on the first play of the game, George Pickens

796
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: or I think it was the first first Steelers play

797
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: the game offensive play. George kind of gets it's past

798
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 2: interference really because Cam Taylor Brittle like puts him in

799
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 2: the turf basically, and then you know, like on a knee,

800
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 2: picks it off and then runs it back for a touchdown.

801
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 2: Pickens comes over the sideline and he we know George,

802
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: like George is a fiery dude, Like he's all over

803
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: the place. Tomlin, I totally understand the Antonio Brown thing.

804
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: I mean I did, but when I saw that inner,

805
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: I got it. I understood why Antonio Brown played for

806
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: that man. I understand why Antonio Brown was not the

807
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 2: Antonio Brown that we all found out later on after

808
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: he left the Steelers, right, Like, you get it because

809
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 2: he he gets he gets into Pickens a little bit

810
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 2: like it's gonna be okay, and you can tell Pickens

811
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: is not like and finally Tom was like, hey, you

812
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: got this, and finally Pickens goes yes, sir, and it's

813
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: like he just kind of kept chipping away at it.

814
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: Pickens has two touchdowns, a big player in the game.

815
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: Mark It's it's fantastic.

816
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: But they went to the offseason one. It was great.

817
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 2: They went to this new one in season and got

818
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: They didn't spend as much time with the personal stories,

819
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: right they spent some time with the Haywards.

820
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: They have the.

821
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 3: Weekly stuff, and they are not getting as deep into

822
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 3: the building. Right it seems that way they're getting in

823
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 3: the meeting. I got a feeling they're not getting as

824
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 3: deep into the building. Even the Dolphins hard Knocks last season.

825
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: During the season, they didn't get as far. They didn't

826
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 3: get that deep. They went into a quarterback meeting room,

827
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 3: they got a few other hallway shots, they got into

828
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 3: the team meeting room. That was what a lot of

829
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 3: it was. And they were focusing on the game to

830
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 3: game life of the NFL. And I think that's an

831
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 3: acceptable way to do it. I'll put that in our

832
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 3: quotes for these NFL teams, especially when you have four

833
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 3: in a division, because they're gonna come here. I mean,

834
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: we're getting it next year of the year. I mean

835
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: we're gonna get it. We're gonna get hard k not

836
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 3: cover of the division. I mean, certain things are gonna

837
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 3: happen to this team. They're gonna be on some version

838
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 3: of hard Knocks soon enough. They're gonna get an international

839
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 3: games soon enough. It's all gonna happen, just a matter

840
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 3: of when and.

841
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: What it is.

842
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 3: But I think it'll be more acceptable. The room we're

843
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 3: sitting in right now. When Hard Knocks was here in

844
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen, they occupied this room and set up basically

845
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 3: NASA with all the monitors, all the cameras they had

846
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 3: in the building.

847
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 2: What to me made the episode so compelling was the

848
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: Steelers Bengals aspect of it.

849
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: The division matchup.

850
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so can you imagine us and the Colts? Yeah, absolutely,

851
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 3: I want to see that. Absolutely.

852
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: So the Steelers have the Browns, the Ravens, the Bengals.

853
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 2: But listen to this. The Steelers have Browns Eagles. I'm sorry,

854
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: they have Browns at home at Eagles at Ravens Kansas

855
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 2: City on Christmas Day.

856
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: Then the Bengals.

857
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 2: Yep, ye, I mean that's that's but for TV's sake,

858
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: it's awesome. That's compelling as hell. Now, the Browns obviously

859
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: have the Steelers. The Browns have the Chiefs, they have

860
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 2: the Bengals. That's gonna be a fun one. The Miami

861
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: in Baltimore.

862
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 3: That could go into the fifties, Browns Bengals, Yeah yeah,

863
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 3: Browns Bengals could oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, the Fidties.

864
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: Did you got that right?

865
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: The Ravens have got bye week this week, so it'll

866
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 2: be interesting how they bring that in. They're at Giants home, Steelers,

867
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 2: they're here, and then they got the Browns. So each

868
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 2: one of these teams has at least two or three

869
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: division matchups. So that makes this show more fun. It's

870
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 2: gonna make this show like vidibly fun. Yeah, and I didn't.

871
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 2: I didn't think that would be the case. I was

872
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 2: kind of like, hey, you know, I.

873
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 3: Could you will be okay if they were here this year,

874
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 3: this week with what just happened, oh and having the division,

875
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 3: having the Jag side and our side of it and

876
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 3: all of it chronicling all of that, that would be

877
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: compelling TV for them, And hey, it's compelling content.

878
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: I get it. You know who's miked up for the

879
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: Jaguars this past week? Who not, at ease.

880
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: The guy who started it, Ingram Ingram is miked up

881
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: for the Jaguars.

882
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: Oh, now, I wonder what makes the cutting room floor

883
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: and what.

884
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: Exactly That's exactly what I'd like to know is what

885
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: are they going to have? So he's yeah, he's miked

886
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 2: up because I just saw earlier today they posted like

887
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 2: they posted a little snippet of him talking and it's

888
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 2: like thirty thirty seconds, so he's miked up. So I

889
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 2: can only imagine what well we might or might not

890
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: hear from the Jaguars.

891
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 3: Will they not show his hit on his ease that

892
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 3: got him flagged and maybe should have gotten him a

893
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 3: little bit more?

894
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 2: I think they show it? Okay, I want the Jaguars.

895
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: Let's think about it from this, Let's let's flip it over.

896
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 2: How jaar? Yeah, Jaguars are two and ten. What do

897
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 2: they have from this season that they're.

898
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: They're two and eleven, right, because they have five left?

899
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: Four left? No, they have five, they're two intent go on,

900
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: go on?

901
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 2: They don't know if you're on a if you, I mean,

902
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 2: what do you have basically right now to sell to people?

903
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: Nothing? Nothing? Nothing? Hell? Yeah you put it in there. Yeah,

904
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: but you want eyeballs.

905
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 3: It's a bad look for their guy, and he's an

906
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 3: important guy for their future.

907
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: I don't know what his contract status is.

908
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: It'll be there'll be something from it. I don't know what,

909
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 2: but there will be something from it.

910
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: What is your level of anger today? You're getting over

911
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,479
Speaker 3: it or are you still feeling it? Because I'm still

912
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 3: feeling it. I listened to Russo yesterday I lost him

913
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 3: and I heard what Russo had. Oh my god, I

914
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 3: know he went off this morning again. I think steven

915
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 3: A came over to the textas side a little bit,

916
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 3: but I just saw that. And if I'm wrong, excuse me.

917
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 3: But I definitely heard Russo on the air yesterday on

918
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: a show.

919
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 1: And caught him a dirty player.

920
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 3: I love Russo usually, this is a typical case of

921
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 3: a media member behaving idiotically. He was a total and

922
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 3: complete moron in his analysis of this. Yes, now, I

923
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 3: like all this cute stuff. He's going over stuff going

924
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: around the league, mispronounces everybody's name. It's kind of funny.

925
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 3: He's a New York guy whatever. He's super knowledgeable. I

926
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 3: get it usually, but he completely missed on this one.

927
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 3: He literally said something to the effect of, and I

928
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 3: don't care about all the other guys who have been

929
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 3: ejectated not punished this way.

930
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: Why don't you care?

931
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 3: Don't you want any sort of standard, Russo, Don't you

932
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 3: want any sort of right consistency and standard of what

933
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 3: is punishable and what is not. That's what Nick Casario

934
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 3: was saying yesterday. Can we please just get some consistency

935
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 3: here where this gets you? That gets you this and

936
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 3: these are the rules and this is what happens when

937
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 3: you break them. But no, they have to come up

938
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 3: with this totally random method of punishing people in all

939
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 3: sorts of things on the field, off the field, all

940
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: over the field, be on the field, whatever. There's never

941
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 3: consistency to it. It's all over the place. We've got

942
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 3: this person and this ex judge and that they never

943
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 3: get it right.

944
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: They never get it right.

945
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 3: I mean maybe they get some punishments right in terms

946
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 3: of like morally right some but this is clearly way

947
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 3: out of bounds. And Casario spelled it all out for you.

948
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 3: NFL All right, don't get me started. And that runing

949
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 3: video that's going around of him just launching into a

950
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 3: defender for the forty nine ers, was it that video?

951
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean it is so perfect, It is so perfect.

952
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: You know who the disciplinary committee should be, Runyan, Richie

953
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 3: Incognito and Vonte's perfect. Put them all on the disciplinary

954
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 3: committee because they know what is wrong in people's head.

955
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 3: Heads are going through people's heads at the time, and

956
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 3: they can levy out the proper punishment.

957
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm kidding about that. Sorry, Well, the appeal.

958
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 2: Is gonna be heard by former offensive lineman Ramone Foster.

959
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say Richie and Cognito.

960
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: No, you want to know what Ramone Foster does as

961
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 2: a job. Tell me he's the me for the Titans.

962
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 2: He is, and he's gonna hear the appeal.

963
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna hear what are we.

964
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 3: Doing this billion and multi billion dollar business. Let's get

965
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 3: a committee together, okay, And the committee is a group

966
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 3: of people everybody agrees on this is a good committee.

967
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 3: Maybe like some members, maybe you don't, but it's a committee.

968
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 3: It's a group of people. You have them listen to things,

969
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 3: weigh it out, levy punishments, have a set of rules, standards. No,

970
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 3: can't do it. They've tried, they fail. It's terrible. It's

971
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 3: the worst. Is it the worst thing about this league?

972
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 3: It's certainly one of the worst things about this league

973
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 3: is its inability to get punishments correctly done and in

974
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 3: a timely matter. Except for this one, which came out

975
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 3: twenty four hours or so later. Easy peasy, we've got it.

976
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 3: What usually you take months to do anything? Sorry, all right,

977
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to go off on this.

978
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: So Foster is one of four.

979
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 2: Appeals officers jointly appointed and paid for by the NFL

980
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 2: and the NFLPA, Derek Brooks, Kevin Mwhi, Ramon Foster, Jordan Nelson,

981
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 2: Kevin mwy Kevin Mwai.

982
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: Didn't you try to wait?

983
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 3: What happened in the late fumble between the Titans and

984
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 3: the Texans in O nine? They fumbled? I think Scanina recovered.

985
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 3: I think they were trying to poke his eyes out

986
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 3: or something.

987
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: Probably I think it was Mwai.

988
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 3: I don't know who knows this. I mean, I don't

989
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 3: know how they came up with this. Guys get into

990
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 3: I get it. Guys are gonna skirmish, Guys are gonna

991
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: do things. They're gonna go too far, all of it,

992
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 3: All of it happens. But you gotta find a way

993
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 3: to be consistent in the way you levy punishment.

994
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. That's the That's the thing to me.

995
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 2: And the the other thing is just the character assassination

996
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 2: of Azizo el Shire. And look, I understand that we

997
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: are fortunate that we know is he's in this building.

998
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of.

999
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 2: Guys that we wouldn't go to bat for in this

1000
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 2: building that we just be like, Look, they play for

1001
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: the Texans. But that's that's not our guy. This is

1002
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 2: our guy. This is our kind of guy. The character

1003
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 2: assassination of Chris Russow doesn't know a damn thing. First

1004
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: of all, well football, he doesn't know a damn thing

1005
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 2: about disease. He's gonna opine because that's what he does.

1006
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 2: He's New York Mouth, and that's just the way it goes.

1007
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: A lot of times I agree with Chris. A lot

1008
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 2: of times I agree with that dog because I feel

1009
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 2: like he's got a pretty good finger on the pulse

1010
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 2: of things. But this one went over the This one

1011
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 2: was like, nah uh, you've been listening way too much

1012
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 2: to what other people think, and what they're saying is dirty.

1013
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: It wasn't until really I watched the hit again where

1014
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 2: I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, Holy cow, that's not

1015
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 2: nearly as bad as what it looked like live, because

1016
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 2: that's kind of shoe by somebody going through. I just

1017
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 2: saw he's coming, and when I saw it on TV,

1018
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 2: I was.

1019
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: Like, whoa.

1020
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 2: And then people are trying to disapprove her. Well, look

1021
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 2: all was Look, he's got five yards this time. You

1022
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 2: know how five yards is covered like that?

1023
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 3: Look, I can't I'm not even defending that hit. I'm

1024
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 3: not even even defending the aftermath because I think the

1025
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 3: aftermath plays into this. Hell, yes, I do think that's

1026
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 3: that's thought him. You know, they didn't like that malice

1027
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 3: at the Palace stuff. I get that, I understand. I

1028
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 3: totally understand. One game suspension done yep, and everybody nobody

1029
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 3: says a word.

1030
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 2: One game suspendable and this thing dies on the vibe

1031
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 2: basically everybody Houston's kind of like, Okay, it's gonna unfortunately

1032
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 2: we miss him nationally, like, yeah, he got suspended, but

1033
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 2: these people saying he should be suspended for the year.

1034
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: They don't know what.

1035
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 3: They don't watch again, Johnny, they don't watch football apparently,

1036
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 3: or they don't follow it, because look at I love Kareem,

1037
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 3: but look at Kareem Jackson and look, no offense to Kareem.

1038
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: They didn't punish you, all right, yeah for you, you.

1039
00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 3: Get ejected multiple times, no suspension, Uh, it happened a branch.

1040
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 3: Nick brought up, branch, this is going to cream. Eventually

1041
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 3: got one suspension, right, Kaream got one after multiple ejections,

1042
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 3: right right right.

1043
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 2: Denzel got three last year. But then they appealed it

1044
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 2: down to one or two.

1045
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 3: So if you want to give a zas a one

1046
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 3: game suspension after one ejection five because of the aftermath.

1047
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: Okay, we got it and we'll do better next time.

1048
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: Thank you, well said my man. Well said. Coming up next,

1049
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: we'll go around.

1050
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: The NFL right here at Texans All Access tab. Everybody

1051
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: walking back to wednesdayedtion of Texans All Access from the

1052
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: Hyundai Texans radio studio. I am John Harris Football and

1053
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 2: all sideline reporter for your eight and five Houston Texans.

1054
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: Let's get some around the NFL news.

1055
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: It starts in Baltimore, where the Ravens have suspended wide

1056
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 2: receiver Deontay Johnson for a game. He refused to go

1057
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 2: back into the game against the Eagles.

1058
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: He wasn't getting a lot.

1059
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: Of playing time apparently, and said no, not going in

1060
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 2: so conduct detrimental to the team. The Ravens will be

1061
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 2: with Deontay Johnson for their Week fifteen game against the New.

1062
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: York Football Giants. How about that one?

1063
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 2: Uh, this is one thing I didn't say in Hard knocks,

1064
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 2: and I don't know if I want to give it

1065
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 2: away or not, but I think I'm going to on

1066
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 2: Hard Knocks, Joe Burrow claimed that he bought the.

1067
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: Batmobile or uh batmobile what?

1068
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 2: They had an interesting discussion about the uh wearing the batsuit,

1069
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 2: but Joe Burrow apparently said, yeah, I bought the Batmobile

1070
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 2: two point nine to nine million dollars. Burrow purchased one

1071
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 2: of the ten officially licensed in fully functional Batmobiles that

1072
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 2: are sold by Wayne Enterprise Experiences. Burrow then told t Higgins,

1073
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 2: a Jamar chaster in the episode, have I told you

1074
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 2: I bought a Batmo bial?

1075
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: My goodness? Man? Uh, you know what good purchase? Though.

1092
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,960

Speaker 2: him do the honors because I was going to throw

1095
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 2: it to this nice introduction, but I want him to

1096
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,000

Speaker 1: This's gonna be a lot of fun fletch.

1113
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 2: So you and I haven't had a chance to talk

1114
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 2: because we've been kind of, you know, missiles in the night.

1115
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: We're all over the place.

1116
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 2: And it was on Tuesday when Nikossari was doing his

1117
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 2: press conference. I looked over on the far side and

1118
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 2: I could see these big black canisters. They look like

1119
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: the buckets you get from like home depot that you

1120
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 2: do work with. And I look over there and I'm like,

1121
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 2: I can't I can't tell. I didn't want to go

1122
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 2: walking over there, and I'm like, what are these buckets? Well,

1123
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 2: then we had Nick coming studio for his interview, went

1124
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 2: back out of the buckets were gone.

1125
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, dang, I wonder what that was.

1126
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 2: And then I saw this little card sitting on one

1127
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 2: of the tables and it just sit on behalf of

1128
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:45,479

00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 2: I was.

1133
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: Like, Oh, that's what that was, and it was black bands.

1134
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 2: So first of all, hey, can I get one of

1135
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 2: those black bands because I got a feeling that they're

1136
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 2: probably filled with seasonings and rubs and everything that Kinders has.

1137
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 1: Two, how did this come about?

1138
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 2: Because I'm always I'm always intrigued, you know, I am

1139
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 2: about kind of the bull process, everything that goes with

1140
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 2: the bull, the bull swag, all that kind of stuff.

1141
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 2: You know, I'm always intrigued with this. Tax had Tax

1142
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 2: Act had been the sponsor for a couple of years,

1143
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 2: We've had Academy for a couple of years. Now Kinders

1144
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 2: gets on board. How did this all kind of come

1145
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 2: to be?

1146
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,439
Speaker 7: If you will, Yeah, well let me answer your first

1147
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,760
Speaker 7: question absolutely. Yes, buckets for you and buckets for many.

1148
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: Yes.

1149
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 7: Look, the this is a really unique and a really

1150
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 7: fun opportunity to be a part of. From our chair,

1151
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 7: you know, we worked with our partners at ESPN to

1152
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 7: really try and find a fit around our Texas Bowl entitlement.

1153
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 7: That just enhanced the experience for everybody involved. And as

1154
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 7: I mentioned in the outset, the passion that Kinders has

1155
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:02,760
Speaker 7: for food, seventy five years of making the best sauces

1156
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 7: and spices out there is something that is very evident

1157
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 7: and will be very complementary to the experience that you

1158
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 7: see around college football. For Kinders, this is a really

1159
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 7: unique opportunity for them. A major sauce and seasoning brand,

1160
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 7: really a challenger brand that's built an incredible base of

1161
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 7: loyal and passionate followers, the number two brand in the

1162
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 7: country in sauces and seasonings, so they're looking to continue

1163
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 7: to grow and this is their first major national sponsorship.

1164
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 7: They're targeting college football and with good reason. We know

1165
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 7: how important tailgating is to that culture. We know how

1166
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 7: important is to whether you're homegating or tailgating. You want

1167
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 7: your game day to be at the top, and having

1168
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 7: a partner like Kinders that can help enhance that experience

1169
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 7: is something that's gonna be really cool. College football is

1170
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 7: where they're going, and you saw it as part of

1171
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 7: the announcement. They are also the official sauce and seasoning

1172
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 7: of the College foot Ball Playoff. They're working on a

1173
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 7: significant and have a significant media profile multimedia rights deal

1174
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 7: with ESPN as part of this relationship. So as this

1175
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 7: was all coming together, you got a real opportunity to

1176
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 7: work with a brand that's creative, that's innovative, that's trying

1177
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 7: to you know, build their niche trying to grow them

1178
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:24,120

1179
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,200

Speaker 7: This is a multi year relationship and it's one that

1182
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,040

Speaker 7: college football tailgates all throughout the next few seasons.

1186
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: I like that we're homegating too good. I've not heard

1187
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,239

1226
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 7: which is a private event, but it's one of the

1227
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:44,560

Speaker 7: as you look to some of the other events that

1234
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 7: we do. Community is a big part of what we're doing.

1235
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 7: Community impact. We work with the Pelching Children's Center throughout

1273
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's get to that a little bit. I

1274
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: know that.

1275
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 2: I have what I want to see in the game.

1276
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure you probably have what you'd like to see

1277
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 2: in the game.

1278
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: And I don't want you to say that, and I

1279
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: might say mine later on.

1280
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 2: I know I don't want you because coming from the

1281
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 2: executive director of the game, it's a little different if

1282
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 2: you're like, hey, I want this. But first of all,

1283
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 2: to clarify, as it pertains the choices you picked the

1284
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 2: Big twelve school, that's right, and the SEC comes from

1285
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 2: that comes from the SEC ESPN side.

1286
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: Correct.

1287
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So how much as you're watching this college football Playoff?

1288
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 2: How much of that is impacting you? For example, if

1289
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 2: there are three SEC schools versus four, does that impact

1290
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 2: what could happen in the game or at that point

1291
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 2: is it not as important how many are getting in

1292
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 2: the college football Playoff because it looks like the Big

1293
00:58:55,880 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 2: twelve probably getting one, so I would imagine and you're

1294
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 2: probably going to have a nice little choice for your game.

1295
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 2: How do you kind of look at this comg Football

1296
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 2: Playoff and how does that play a role in in

1297
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 2: the Kinders Texas Bowl.

1298
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: Well, we're learning.

1299
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 7: I mean, this is the first where this is the

1300
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 7: first learning to go. We're building the plane as it flies.

1301
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 7: But in all honesty, you know it starts with our

1302
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 7: conference partners. You mentioned it, Big twelve and SEC. Two

1303
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 7: elite conferences geographically relevant. It's helped this game be a

1304
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 7: huge part of the college football calendar and the events calendar,

1305
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 7: not only here in Houston but around the country for

1306
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 7: over a decade now. We're very excited to have that

1307
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 7: relationship continuing this year and to have an opportunity to

1308
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 7: look at who from those two elite conferences is going

1309
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 7: to be able to play in our game come New

1310
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 7: Year's Eve Day, when you look at the College Football Playoff.

1311
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: Obviously, the expansion.

1312
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 7: This year is a new element that we're all looking

1313
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 7: at as it relates to bowlseason. I think as you

1314
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 7: look at the two conferences that we are aligned with,

1315
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 7: the Big twelve in the SEC certainly have an eye

1316
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 7: on how those conference championship games go this weekend, but

1317
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 7: but ultimately both of those have tremendous programs that have

1318
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 7: that have played at a high.

1319
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: Level this year.

1320
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 7: So when we look at what might be available and

1321
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 7: what might be the case for our matchup come New

1322
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 7: Year's eve Day, we love the options that are sitting

1323
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 7: out there. I mean, there's just so much good football

1324
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 7: in both conferences. You know, obviously there is a lot

1325
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 7: of transition. There are a lot of elements that people

1326
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 7: talk about, nil transfer, portal, you know, coaching changes that

1327
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 7: all impact those elements. Look at it the two conference

1328
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 7: partners we have both have many teams that performed at

1329
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 7: an elite level this year. Both have a number of

1330
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 7: opportunities for us that are geographically relevant. And when we

1331
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 7: look at the pool that we might have here, can't

1332
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 7: be anything but excited about what what could possibly come

1333
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 7: to us come of the New Year's eve Day.

1334
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, there there are some. There are some really nice options.

1335
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 2: As I started looking at it each and every week

1336
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 2: I write for the for L s C newsletter and

1337
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 2: it gets sent out, and at the very end the

1338
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 2: last probably two three weeks, I started I bring back

1339
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 2: in the options like, okay.

1340
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:13,479
Speaker 1: Are these are the teams?

1341
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 2: And as I started putting on the teams of like, oh,

1342
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 2: that team could look really good. I mean, even as

1343
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 2: crazy as an SEC team like Florida. But I know Florida,

1344
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 2: they're probably more set with you know, a Bowl over Florida.

1345
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 2: But Florida's got a quarterback from Willis like right here,

1346
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 2: just outside the city of Houston.

1347
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: So it's like, man, there might be a draw with that.

1348
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 2: So it's even if it's not geographically you know, a

1349
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 2: Texas Tech or a TCU or an Arkansas or what

1350
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 2: Oklahoma or whatever it could be, which it could very

1351
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 2: well be, could be any of those. But even if

1352
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 2: it's like you know, like I said of Florida, man,

1353
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 2: you get DJ Langway in here, a guy from just

1354
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 2: outside of Houston. So there's gonna be a connection in

1355
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 2: some way, shape or form, which I can't wait to

1356
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 2: see how it all gets put together. You mentioned a

1357
01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 2: couple of times Fletch game gets moved to December thirty,

1358
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 2: first two thirty kickoff, and that obviously is a big

1359
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 2: day in college football. Again, I mean, it's a massive

1360
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 2: day in college football.

1361
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: Again. How do you feel about a and.

1362
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember, is this the first time that

1363
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 2: has been played during the day, and how do you

1364
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 2: feel about that? Just for the game itself, for that

1365
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 2: event itself being at two.

1366
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: Thirty, We're thrilled.

1367
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 7: I mean, it's an incredible real estate in the college

1368
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 7: football landscape. As I mentioned earlier, it's a holiday, great

1369
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 7: day for local college football fans and just people in

1370
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 7: general are looking to have a good time to come here,

1371
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 7: you know, come out the NRG stadium. Tickets start as

1372
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 7: low as twenty five dollars, so it's an affordable option,

1373
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 7: but we also have all the premium elements too. That,

1374
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 7: unto itself, is a really important element of why we're

1375
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 7: so excited about this this opportunity. But you look at

1376
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 7: the college football landscape, anybody who follows the sport knows

1377
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 7: as close as you can be to New Year's Day,

1378
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 7: the better it is in terms of the visibility, in

1379
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 7: terms of the TV audience in terms of the impact

1380
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 7: you can make, and this year for us, what really,

1381
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 7: I think ultimately we were most excited about is an

1382
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 7: opportunity to be the lead in for the first ever quarterfinal.

1383
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 7: The Fiesta Bowl will be New Year's Eve night, and

1384
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 7: that's a first ever, which is always exciting to be

1385
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 7: part of. We get to be that lead in on

1386
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 7: ESPN with two elite conference partners in a great matchup.

1387
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 7: I think it's going to translate into a really good

1388
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 7: day business wise, a really great day in terms of

1389
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 7: the visibility for our community. And we think from an

1390
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 7: experience perspective, we're certainly working as hard as we possibly

1391
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 7: can to emulate that here at game day and make

1392
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 7: sure that we live up to that expectation. But all

1393
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 7: in all, it's a fantastic development. I'm bullish on us

1394
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 7: being in this position in the near term going forward,

1395
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 7: but most importantly, I'm really bullish about the opportunity to

1396
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 7: bring this to Houston on that day with this platform

1397
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 7: and see what it can do for our community.

1398
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 2: Did the College Football Playoff commit get it right putting

1399
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 2: Alabama in front of Miami.

1400
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Nah, you don't have.

1401
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 2: To answer that question, don't answer that question. That's a

1402
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 2: loaded question. I wouldn't put you on the spot like that.

1403
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 2: I think Alabama's better in Miami. But that's just me.

1404
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 2: Mar Vandery might be very very disappointed in me for

1405
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 2: saying that. But I think Alabama would have beat Miami

1406
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 2: in a head to head on a neutral field, and

1407
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 2: then I would put them ahead of Miami as it were, Fletch,

1408
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 2: I cannot wait for Selection Sunday. It's weird because we

1409
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 2: usually have a game. Yeah, we usually have a game.

1410
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 2: And so you, if I remember correctly, you pop in

1411
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 2: the pet postgame show. You announce it with the guys

1412
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 2: on postgame show. So how are we gonna announce this

1413
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 2: on Selection Sunday.

1414
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 7: Well, there's this little thing called the Internet and social

1415
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 7: media and ESPN i've heard has a pretty good reach,

1416
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 7: so you know it'll be okay. So we're gonna be okay.

1417
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 7: We are really excited about Selection Sunday. This this Sunday afternoon.

1423

1427
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 7: Year's Eve since twenty twenty, which was actually a COVID

1428
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 7: year and that game got canceled. We had TCU in Arkansas, Arkas,

1429
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 7: but unfortunately fell victim to what was going on around

1430
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 7: that So we have not played on a day game

1431
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 7: since twenty thirteen, so it's been a little while. That

1432
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 7: year was the last year of our That was the

1433
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 7: last year of our Big Ten and Big twelve matchup,

1434
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 7: which actually, because of how the season fell out, it

1435
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 7: was Bens in Syracuse.

1436
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:04,680

Speaker 6: Thank you for joining John and myself. It's the three

1509
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 6: of us and we're gonna chit chat a little bit. John,

1510
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 6: Texans for the first time in one hundred and forty

1511
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 6: nine days. Well that's not true. Let's say this first

1512
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 6: time all regular season on a Sunday or Monday or

1513
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,600
Speaker 6: Thursday or Saturday or whatever. I'm not gonna play a

1514
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,680
Speaker 6: game this week. They're one of six teams not doing so.

1515
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 6: The Colts also not doing so, the Ravens also not

1516
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 6: doing so. So they're off. They began practicing. Remember they

1517
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 6: started a week or so before everybody else because they

1518
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 6: played that Hall of Fame game against the Bears. So

1519
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 6: the Bears and the Texans started before everyone one else.

1520
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 6: So one hundred and forty nine days since that July

1521
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 6: eighteenth training camp practice, which was the first one that

1522
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 6: was a long time ago. Things are much much different.

1523
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 6: But they're off, and it comes at a perfect time.

1524
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,680
Speaker 6: You've talked about it both in print on air. You

1525
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,719
Speaker 6: need a break, John, But the players, the coaches, they've

1526
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 6: got to do that mental reset. We'll see how this is.

1527
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 6: They've never had a at least in my memory, the

1528
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:31,080
Speaker 6: Texans have never had a break this late season. The

1529
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 6: idea was cool, it's a late break, it'll be perfect,

1530
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 6: just in time for the playoff push. Maybe it is,

1531
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 6: Maybe it will be. I heard Ross Tucker on with

1532
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 6: Peyton Pendergass this morning. He talked about how you know

1533
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 6: the Eagles had their by around week five. At that

1534
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 6: point there were two and two and they haven't lost

1535
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 6: since they they checked some things, they did someself scouting,

1536
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 6: and they realize we're gonna do this, this and this,

1537
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:53,839
Speaker 6: and it's paid off for them and wins and losses

1538
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 6: just since then. Maybe that happens for the Texans, but

1539
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 6: it's nice to have some time off in.

1540
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 2: It, John Man, it is uh that time off hasn't

1541
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 2: happened yet, but just to know that it can and

1542
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 2: it's happening. After a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and look,

1543
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 2: I know, people eight and five, whatever.

1544
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 6: I take a win over the Northbrook Raiders going unto

1545
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 6: a buy will win. Ratford Spartan's yes, yeah, Springwood's Tigers,

1546
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 6: Jersey Village Falcons, it doesn't matter. Give me, give me

1547
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 6: a big nights.

1548
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: Just feel just feel we're good about it. Yeah.

1549
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 2: Look it was a twenty it was twenty three six.

1550
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 2: I felt like the game was not safely in hand,

1551
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 2: but he did what you had to do to get

1552
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 2: out of there. And just being around the team in

1553
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 2: the last few weeks as we are, we could see

1554
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 2: the fatigue level. You can see it, you can sense it.

1555
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 2: We felt it we feel it. It's a game every

1556
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:56,879
Speaker 2: single a week. It's just and look, we love the games,

1557
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 2: there's no question. Love the games, love love it everything

1558
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 2: about what we do. But thirteen in a row is tiring,

1559
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 2: really tiring. So this they say the buye comes at

1560
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:11,679
Speaker 2: a good time. I think the buye for the Eagles

1561
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 2: was much needed in Week five and I'm glad you

1562
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 2: brought that up.

1563
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: They really got.

1564
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 2: Their their stuff together during the bye and now they're

1565
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 2: on a good run. Now we'll playing nine twelve straight

1566
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:27,759
Speaker 2: and then going into the playoffs.

1567
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 1: Will that impact them from a standpoint, We'll see.

1568
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 2: We'll playing thirteen in a row for us, you know,

1569
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 2: give us issue in the playoffs because you know, if

1570
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 2: we get to the playoffs, because you know, it's just

1571
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 2: too many in a row.

1572
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:43,679
Speaker 1: You just didn't have enough time to recover.

1573
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 2: You know.

1574
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 5: We'll see.

1575
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 2: But she just got to take the buy where you

1576
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 2: can get it. But I think, I don't know. I

1577
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 2: think there's a better way to do the buye. I

1578
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 2: would love a two by season. You're eighteen games, Yeah,

1579
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,679
Speaker 2: you can need eighteen games to that. I wouldn't mind that, honestly,

1580
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 2: would I wouldn't mind. You know, when I went to seventeen.

1581
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:06,560
Speaker 2: I know it was one game. I remember saying to

1582
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 2: Mark at some point, like, man, I know it's one game,

1583
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 2: but boy, I feel a lot, a lot longer than

1584
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 2: just one game extra of the season.

1585
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: So you sit eight and five.

1586
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 2: You beat Dallas and Dallas the first time ever, You

1587
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 2: beat New England and New England for the first time ever.

1588
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 2: You beat the Bills, uh here, and you beat them

1589
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 2: up really in that game.

1590
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:28,639
Speaker 1: You know, you had two.

1591
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 2: Games you lost the NFC North stud teams in Detroit

1592
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:33,879
Speaker 2: and green Bay, and the last play of the freaking

1593
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 2: game with field goals. Field goals that just eat to

1594
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 2: buy in certain situations. So you know, was Bill Parcells,

1595
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 2: you are what your record we are, and look, you

1596
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 2: probably could have had another couple of games go your way.

1597
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 2: You may have had a number a couple of them

1598
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 2: go the other way. So eight and five is probably

1599
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 2: about where where they are. But I think with this

1600
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 2: four game stretch, the three games in particular Miami, Kansas City,

1601
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:07,680
Speaker 2: and Baltimore, I think three AFC Gauntlet teams. I know

1602
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 2: Miami has struggled a lot of it has to do

1603
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 2: with too of being out early, but I think this

1604
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 2: team and kind of the organization too, kind of pointing

1605
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 2: to those games, like, all right, let's get through this,

1606
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 2: let's do we can the first thirteen, see how it goes.

1607
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: But then let's gear up for those three man in particular.

1608
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 2: And and look, it comes down to this, as easy

1609
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 2: as as it can be. The magic numbers two for

1610
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,879
Speaker 2: the Texas to win a division. You win On Sunday,

1611
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 2: Colts loose to the Broncos. I think that's who they're playing.

1612
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 6: Got thee. Yeah, that's a tough game.

1613
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean it is. It's very tough, very tough game.

1614
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's tough.

1615
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be tough for the Colts. It's gonna

1616
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 2: be tough for the Texans.

1617
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 6: But just take care of business.

1618
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: Take care of business.

1619
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 2: Just keep winning games, and eventually you'll get to a

1620
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 2: point where you win a division, you go into the

1621
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 2: playoffs and maybe get a little bit of a run.

1622
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 2: And I feel like that second half offensively, like, okay,

1623
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,879
Speaker 2: this is kind of the offense we thought we might see.

1624
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:06,799
Speaker 2: I would have liked to have seen one more touchdown

1625
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,679
Speaker 2: up there, but you know, take take what's there. Take

1626
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:12,639
Speaker 2: what you got. You got seventeen points the second half.

1627
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,759
Speaker 2: You ran it well, you closed the game down. Nico

1628
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 2: had another big ball game and CJ threw the ball

1629
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 2: really well, and I thought, you have to protect it.

1630
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: So it was good.

1631
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,599
Speaker 6: John. Think about it, in all our years watching games

1632
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 6: together from Afar, when the Texans have to run the

1633
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 6: ball like that, it hasn't always worked that way that

1634
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 6: it worked on Sunday. Really more often than not, it's

1635
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 6: worked the other way and you wind up having to

1636
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,599
Speaker 6: have your defense back on the field, Yeah, which they have.

1637
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 6: They've won the big game for you, and then they've

1638
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 6: been scored upon and you've walked off with the lead,

1639
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 6: and then or the offense has walked off with the lead,

1640
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 6: but you know the game ends with them not having

1641
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 6: the lead. So give credit where it's due in that regard.

1642
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 6: Because the Jags knew where the ball was going, right,

1643
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 6: they knew the run was coming and they couldn't stop it.

1644
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 6: And that's not an easy thing to do. It doesn't matter,

1645
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 6: like I said, if you're playing the Jaguars, playing the

1646
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 6: Northbrook You're it's gonna be tough to to do. So yes,

1647
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,560
Speaker 6: let's just uh, let's let's work work on that positive.

1648
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 6: You've got the break you ran when you needed to,

1649
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 6: so you've got some time off. So we're not gonna

1650
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 6: do any cream of the crop, thank you much, A

1651
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 6: man savage. Don't need that today because there's no game

1652
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 6: to be played, but we'll do it next week. So instead, John,

1653
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 6: I'm gonna hit you with a few little numbers. You

1654
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 6: do buy the numbers during the season. I texted you

1655
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 6: this morning. I said, hey, homie, I'm gonna I'm gonna

1656
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 6: spell you for this. Yeah, I got some little interesting ones.

1657
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay.

1658
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,800
Speaker 6: Four different Texans have run for a touchdown this year.

1659
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 6: Mix and obviously has one steph Yeah, Stefan Diggs, that's

1660
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 6: the that's the tricky one. People kind of.

1661
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: Forget camp Akers ran for one? Did he not? There?

1662
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 5: You go?

1663
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 6: Oh surely CJ. Stroud snuck one in?

1664
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:54,560
Speaker 1: NOJ.

1665
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 2: CJ is not run one in so the other person

1666
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 2: is running back.

1667
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:05,799
Speaker 1: It's uh well, Daria Goombawale has a receiving touch a touchdown,

1668
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown. He does not have a rushing touchdowns, right,

1669
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 1: dam pier Perce.

1670
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, so those those are the four guys who've run first.

1671
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:13,679
Speaker 1: That long touchdown run against New England.

1672
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:19,920
Speaker 6: Yea great play by Damien. Yeah, seven games with one

1673
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 6: hundred yards on the ground or more. That's a top

1674
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 6: the NFL. That's Joe Mixon. That's what he's done this year.

1675
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 6: In your wildest dreams, nobody thought Joe Mixon was going

1676
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 6: to be what he's been this year. For They he thought, hey,

1677
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 6: he's gonna be good, right, But you didn't think he's

1678
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 6: gonna just crank out one hundred and a touchdown just

1679
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 6: about every time he goes out on the field. Seven games, John,

1680
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 6: and he's missed three, Yeah, seven out of ten. That

1681
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 6: is remarkable.

1682
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: He's eight eighty seven.

1683
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:52,640
Speaker 2: He's got the second most touchdowns in his career with eleven.

1684
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,720
Speaker 1: He had thirteen touchdowns in twenty twenty one, so.

1685
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 6: That's a caught a score. So he's got a dozen

1686
01:17:58,040 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 6: dozen scores.

1687
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 2: Right right, So and he had how many he had

1688
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 2: He had sixteen total touchdowns at twenty twenty one.

1689
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 1: So got four games left, is that right?

1690
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got four games left now hopefully it's just

1691
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 2: you know, three or maybe fewer, just trying to get

1692
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 2: him to rest. Hopefully if we can win, get in

1693
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 2: the playoffs and then seeding doesn't you know, keeps here

1694
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 2: from really having to play the last game against Tennessee.

1695
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 2: Either way, he's one hundred and thirteen yards away from

1696
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 2: one thousand.

1697
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:28,599
Speaker 1: His best year was twenty twenty one.

1698
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 2: That's the year kind of referenced thirteen rushing touchdowns, two

1699
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 2: hundred and five yards you'll said, three receiving touchdowns. So

1700
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 2: he's not the one. The only thing that they've started

1701
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 2: to do a little bit more of. But we kind

1702
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 2: of thought that Joe would get a few more targets

1703
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 2: in the passing game.

1704
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 1: I thought that was going to be a little bit more.

1705
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 2: But because they've give him the ball as much as

1706
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 2: they have in the run game, I'm okay with it.

1707
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:53,679
Speaker 2: He's gotten the touches that I thought he would get.

1708
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 2: He's been phenomenal. You're absolutely right. I think it very

1709
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:01,719
Speaker 2: treating question, Drew is who's been more valuable to the offense,

1710
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon or Nico Collins.

1711
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 1: That's a really tough question to answer. I'm glad.

1712
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:10,679
Speaker 6: It's a good to have and question to ponder.

1713
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:11,679
Speaker 5: It's really good.

1714
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 6: Okay, I know you're loath to talk kickers and punters,

1715
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 6: but we got to shout out.

1716
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, each you know, I'll show him my guy.

1717
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 6: Well, Okay, let's start with Kaymi Fairbairn. Twelve field goals

1718
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:29,600
Speaker 6: made fifty yards or longer. That's the NFL. That's an

1719
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 6: NFL record that he that's set a week week or

1720
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 6: two before with eleven, I think or ten. But he

1721
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,639
Speaker 6: keeps every every fifty yard field goal he makes, he's

1722
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 6: adding to his record is Ruthie and Babe Ruthian record.

1723
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 6: All right, calm down, I'm just but it's impressive as hell.

1724
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 6: And shoot first month of the season. Demiko Ryan said, Hey,

1725
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 6: Kymie Fairburns are MVP because of the stuff he's done

1726
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 6: and some of the big kicks he's made. And you

1727
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 6: can't can't undersell it when you when you're kicking far

1728
01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 6: with Kayimi, most of the time it's going in.

1729
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:02,160
Speaker 2: That's right, at a really high rate that I mean,

1730
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 2: he what the first game against the Colts, it was

1731
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 2: three fifty orders. I think it was three fifth the

1732
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,479
Speaker 2: three fifty orders against the Bears too. I mean, he's

1733
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 2: he's just been you know that he missed that. I know,

1734
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 2: I've never seen him react to him miss like the

1735
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 2: one against Tennessee. Yeah, and that's it's funny because Drew,

1736
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:21,800
Speaker 2: that's when you know we're talking about the buye in

1737
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 2: thirteen weeks in a row. That's the moment when I

1738
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:29,519
Speaker 2: was like, you know, this team is pretty tired because

1739
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 2: I I've thought about my like my biggest blow ups

1740
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,959
Speaker 2: or you know, missus or whatever, and how I've reacted

1741
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 2: to it. Most of the time, it's when I'm at

1742
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 2: my most fatigue. And you could just tell when he

1743
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 2: missed that one against Tennessee. He kind of felt all

1744
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 2: fours on the turf and I was like, I've never

1745
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 2: seen him do that. I've never seen him do that.

1746
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 2: So everybody, everybody needs a little bit of a break.

1747
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 2: But I don't know where we are without without that.

1748
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: Man, I don't know. He's been fantastic. It was missus stink, But.

1749
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 6: Man, you might not be a five on team without him.

1750
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 1: That's right. I think you're absolutely right with that.

1751
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:06,480
Speaker 6: Okay, so is punter. His holder is punter Tommy Townsend.

1752
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:12,639
Speaker 6: I gotta check with our pr staff, but I gotta

1753
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:14,839
Speaker 6: think this is a record right now. If it stands,

1754
01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 6: He's punted fifty nine times in fifty five point nine

1755
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 6: so nearly fifty six percent of his punts have been

1756
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 6: down inside the twenty Wow. Huge, Wow, Huge for your defense,

1757
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:29,559
Speaker 6: huge for your team in general. But I think the

1758
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 6: previous mark was by Brian Anger in twenty nineteen. He

1759
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 6: was a really good punter, very good, and I think

1760
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,760
Speaker 6: it was right around fifty three percent, But most of

1761
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 6: the time it's under it's it's south of fifty at

1762
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,679
Speaker 6: least it has been with the Texans. What he's doing, man,

1763
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,800
Speaker 6: is pretty remarkable. He's been on a tear too. If

1764
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 6: you kind of look at what he's done in the

1765
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 6: last six seven games. Pulsey's along, he's been good, but

1766
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 6: especially lately he's really been good. Like he's syncing up

1767
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 6: with this covered units and they're getting those down inside

1768
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 6: the twenty and sometimes even deeper.

1769
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: That's right, he's been. I mean. The funny thing I

1770
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,600
Speaker 1: remember him saying to me, he actually and.

1771
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 2: Then he kicked outside in Kansas City, So when we

1772
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 2: talked to him about your perfect conditions inside, he's like,

1773
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 2: you know, John, I just I got so used to

1774
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 2: kicking outside. So you know, early on in the in

1775
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:18,840
Speaker 2: the year, when he wasn't punting as well as we

1776
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:20,719
Speaker 2: thought he would, is what he wanted to.

1777
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 6: Maybe he's feeling his way, finding his way.

1778
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 2: He was finding his way and then he eventually got

1779
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 2: to a point where inside outside he was kicking, he

1780
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:30,479
Speaker 2: was punning well, and he's got to continue to do

1781
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:31,720
Speaker 2: that and continue to.

1782
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 1: Flip fuel position when needed. But flip the field position.

1783
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 2: One time in a game, just one time in a game,

1784
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 2: and what that could mean.

1785
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: It's absolutely huge.

1786
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 6: Big time by the specialists. Okay, you know me so

1787
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 6: Mark Vandermer. His fetish is ranking the preseason wins and

1788
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 6: he loves that.

1789
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I know it's coming.

1790
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 6: I know. It's turnover differential, Yes, takeaways. Do you get

1791
01:22:56,280 --> 01:23:00,040
Speaker 6: an interception or a muff punt, forced fumble with a

1792
01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 6: recovery versus turnovers? How many times you turn the ball over?

1793
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 6: Texans are really good this year in that stat. They're

1794
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 6: tied for fourth right now in the NFL. They're plus ten.

1795
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 6: Only three teams have better turnover differentials right now than them.

1796
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 6: They're plus ten in turnover differential. But since the start

1797
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:27,639
Speaker 6: of Week six when they played the Patriots, yes, every

1798
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 6: single game since then, they've won the turnover battle, the

1799
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 6: takeaway battle. They didn't in one game and they were even,

1800
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 6: but they've been positive the whole way through. And when

1801
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 6: they entered that New England game, they were under five hundred.

1802
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 6: They're underwater yet. So it's been remarkable. That's like a

1803
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 6: plus thirteen in that span. So they're taking it away.

1804
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 6: Their second in the NFL, only only second to the

1805
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 6: Vikings and interceptions fifteen sixteen picks, John, they only had

1806
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 6: fourteen all season long last year. Only fourteen is a

1807
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 6: good number. Yeah, but they've got sixteen already this year.

1808
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: John, Yeah, that's amazing. That's amazing. And and was it number.

1809
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 6: Sixteen sixteen interceptions right now?

1810
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 2: Yet they probably have dropped five to seven. I mean Sting,

1811
01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 2: I drop the drop is tough. Well, should have to

1812
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 2: pick six against Dallas. Sting should have had another couple

1813
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 2: against Dallas. I mean, it's it. I'm using five to

1814
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 2: seven as a low ball estimate because they they could

1815
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 2: have had They could have had a few more.

1816
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:28,840
Speaker 1: I think Kamari could have had another one.

1817
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,719
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's been impressive to watch those ballhawks

1818
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 2: back there that you know, make plays on the football

1819
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,800
Speaker 2: and then not just make plays in the football, but

1820
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 2: then go hunt down the football as run defenders.

1821
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: They don't sit back there and go no, they don't

1822
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 1: pay me to do that. There. They take a lot

1823
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: of pride.

1824
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 6: There are no business decisions being made by those guys.

1825
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:52,599
Speaker 1: They they tacked a.

1826
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:54,479
Speaker 2: Lot of pride in how they play the run and

1827
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 2: I and I love seeing that, love seeing that.

1828
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 6: You know what else? I love our sex? Okay, dan

1829
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:02,160
Speaker 6: Neil Hunter has ten and a half. Ten and a half, yep,

1830
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 6: Lilly Anderson Junior has nine and a half and he's

1831
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 6: missed some time. But you know what, John as a team,

1832
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 6: listen to this. Forty two sacks this year in thirteen

1833
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 6: games in seventeen games. Last year they had forty six,

1834
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 6: which is a pretty good number. Still, Yeah, but they're

1835
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 6: only four shy of beaten last year's number. They still

1836
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 6: got four more games to go.

1837
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't last year. Last year was one of the

1838
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:29,679
Speaker 1: highest team hit got. Yeah, it was it was. It wasn't.

1839
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:30,839
Speaker 1: It was close.

1840
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 6: You've had those two, You've had Tim Settle getting in

1841
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:33,160
Speaker 6: the mix.

1842
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:34,719
Speaker 1: It's been fantastic.

1843
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,040
Speaker 6: That's hard to get sacks like that from that interior position.

1844
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 2: I mean, Tim has been fantastic. He didn't get sacked. Yeah,

1845
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:40,640
Speaker 2: I think he may have got a touchdown. So I

1846
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 2: don't even know if the game was sacked for that.

1847
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:44,559
Speaker 2: I think this maybe a game of TfL. But the

1848
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:46,519
Speaker 2: play he made on the trap. They tried to trap

1849
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 2: block him, try to block back on him, run trap

1850
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 2: and he ate that thing up. I was like, man,

1851
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 2: he is on one this year. He has just been incredible.

1852
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 6: Two last one. Two dudes on defensive score touch downs

1853
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 6: Jimmy Ward and Derek Barnett. Derek Barnett's one of the

1854
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:04,840
Speaker 6: plays of the year. Jimmy Ward, Hey, you get a

1855
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 6: pick six. That's one of the plays of year too.

1856
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 6: But that's nice. We like scoring on defense. Yes, want

1857
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 6: to tell the seven on seven crew, the ten and

1858
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 6: nine year olds that I was helping assistant coach. Let's

1859
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 6: get score on defense.

1860
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 1: Score on defense. That's easy right now?

1861
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:21,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you you said it.

1862
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:23,120
Speaker 1: Through thirteen games.

1863
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 2: Through thirteen games, what is the play of the year

1864
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:32,400
Speaker 2: for the Texans through thirteen games?

1865
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 6: I think up there is the game winning field goal

1866
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 6: against the Bills.

1867
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 1: Yes, up there, yep.

1868
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 6: Play number one of the year from scrimmage, the touchdown

1869
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 6: to Nico Collins.

1870
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: Oh, you're talking calendar year.

1871
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 6: When that in the didn't he score on the first

1872
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 6: play against the Colts too?

1873
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: No? Not against the Colts?

1874
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 6: No, what do you do in the first play?

1875
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 1: The nice sworn. What did he do against the Cowboys?

1876
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 6: No, against the Holtz this year, Well, we scored won.

1877
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 2: He he had that deep ball down the field that

1878
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 2: was in the second that was in the second quarter.

1879
01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:07,960
Speaker 6: Was the first play of the game against it. We

1880
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:08,959
Speaker 6: didn't score the first.

1881
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 1: No, we didn't. Not not the first play down, I

1882
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 1: guess not against.

1883
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 2: Then Stolever on the first play of the game against

1884
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:16,720
Speaker 2: the Titans.

1885
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1886
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 2: So on on Texas All Access Matchup Edition, my third

1887
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 2: segment usually in the bye week, I'm trying to figure

1888
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 2: around for things, and i had a couple of minutes left,

1889
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 2: and I'm like what am I doing.

1890
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:30,560
Speaker 6: I'm like, all right, I'm gonna have touchdown.

1891
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 1: It's a really good one, big one. That's when it

1892
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 1: gets forgotten about a lot. I said, the play of.

1893
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 6: The year, maybe the Barnett touchdown.

1894
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 2: The Barnett touchdown, Barnett touchdown against Dallas.

1895
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 6: Well, degree of difficult, that's it because you.

1896
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: Have so much happen on that particular play.

1897
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:49,600
Speaker 2: Barnett with the sack, then guiding with the ball, and

1898
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 2: then Petrie comic casing him, ball popping up, Barnett getting

1899
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 2: the ball back in some sort of cosmic football justice

1900
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:00,600
Speaker 2: and then running for a touchdown and it's against them.

1901
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:02,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, in their building, delicious.

1902
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:06,479
Speaker 2: And it's into that corner where Marc andre are up

1903
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 2: in the booth, but it's that's where the majority of

1904
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 2: the Texas fans were.

1905
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:10,839
Speaker 1: In that corner.

1906
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,760
Speaker 2: There's just a lot happening on that particular play, And

1907
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 2: that's where I went because I earlier in a season

1908
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 2: I said Kaymi's kick against the Bills, and which is

1909
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:23,600
Speaker 2: a tremendous kick, there's no doubt about that. When that

1910
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:25,559
Speaker 2: game and and and when the season is over, maybe

1911
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:28,960
Speaker 2: I'll come back to that. Maybe, But I just felt

1912
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:33,720
Speaker 2: like with that team that we beat that night in

1913
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 2: that building and getting the series to three and four,

1914
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 2: that's what's We're one win away against the Cotwich for

1915
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 2: being five hundred, you know, even steven against them in

1916
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 2: the in the series.

1917
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 1: Not there yet, need another one.

1918
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 6: Got a ways to go until we're thirty one to

1919
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 6: fifteen against them, like we are against Jacksonville.

1920
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1921
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've been rolling there.

1922
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we lost one on the Titans were it

1923
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 2: was twenty three twenty one, now it's twenty four to

1924
01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 2: twenty one.

1925
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 1: So that's why I want to win week eighteen, no

1926
01:28:58,000 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 1: matter what.

1927
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 6: Happens, well that it's time to go back into quiet

1928
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 6: announcer voice, and we're gonna finish things up here on

1929
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:11,759
Speaker 6: this podcast. It's been a nice first thirteen games with you, John.

1930
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 6: I can't wait to do another eight games to discuss.

1931
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 6: I'd like to.

1932
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:18,639
Speaker 1: Discuss the math. I like. I like the Mathew just did.

1933
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:19,240
Speaker 1: That's really good.

1934
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:20,960
Speaker 6: I didn't use my fingers.

1935
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 2: Use that brain of yours. Look at the big brain

1936
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 2: on Drew.

1937
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:29,720
Speaker 1: Drew does certainly have a big brain. About a big head,

1938
01:29:29,720 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 1: but a big brain. I got a big head.

1939
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:32,840
Speaker 2: I got like a seven to three quarters inch head,

1940
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:34,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, I got a big head, but hopefully a

1941
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 2: big brain as well.

1942
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 1: Okay, we get back.

1943
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:40,480
Speaker 2: Let's hit a few things on the way out, including

1944
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 2: one thing I did the other night on Texans All

1945
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 2: Access Matchup Edition.

1946
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 1: What has been the number one play? You guys know

1947
01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 1: a matchup?

1948
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:50,720
Speaker 2: I do the ultimate eleven, so I always count down

1949
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 2: from eleven to one every single week. What's been the

1950
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 2: number one play thus far into twenty twenty four season.

1951
01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 2: We'll do that next to finish up text All Access next.

1952
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:01,959
Speaker 1: What's happened? Everybody?

1953
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:04,760
Speaker 2: Welcome back to this final segment of this Wednesday edition

1954
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 2: of Texans All Access. I'm your host, John Harris, football analyst, sideline,

1955
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:12,320
Speaker 2: a reporter for your Houston Texans, and each and every

1956
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 2: Tuesday night, I have a show, Texans All Access Matchup Edition,

1957
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:20,759
Speaker 2: And on each episode of that show, I go back

1958
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:24,720
Speaker 2: and I do what I call the Ultimate eleven for

1959
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:27,599
Speaker 2: that particular game, the ultimate eleven plays and moments from

1960
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:32,120
Speaker 2: the game that the Texas just played. And it's been

1961
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:34,479
Speaker 2: a tougher year to try and figure out what eleven

1962
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:35,519
Speaker 2: plays I'm gonna put in.

1963
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,759
Speaker 1: What's gonna be number one? This past week?

1964
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 2: At number one with the last two Joe Mixon runs

1965
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,600
Speaker 2: against the Jaguars defense, There's a fourteen yarder for a

1966
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:48,840
Speaker 2: first down, and.

1967
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:50,640
Speaker 1: Then there was the final eight yarder when it was

1968
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 1: third and five and the.

1969
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:54,680
Speaker 2: Texas could take a knee and then run out the

1970
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 2: clock at that point get the victory information. I put

1971
01:30:57,120 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 2: that at number one, as I pointed out on the show,

1972
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,759
Speaker 2: because it's a lot to talk about the offensive line

1973
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,120
Speaker 2: not getting it right, et cetera.

1974
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:05,439
Speaker 1: YadA YadA, YadA YadA.

1975
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:07,800
Speaker 2: So I kind of felt like that was representative of

1976
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,479
Speaker 2: number one. So I did the Ultimate eleven. Then I

1977
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:12,120
Speaker 2: did a recap of week thirteen at a couple of

1978
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 2: minutes left for the final segment, and I was wondering

1979
01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:15,840
Speaker 2: what I wanted to do, and I thought, you know,

1980
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 2: it's kind of a fun time to do a little

1981
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 2: short segment. What is the number one play for the

1982
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 2: Texans thus far this year? Now I gave what that

1983
01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 2: number one play was, but I had three different options.

1984
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:35,160
Speaker 1: Here are the options.

1985
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 2: Starts in Week four against the Jaguars at home, down

1986
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:46,519
Speaker 2: by three, twenty to seventeen, at the one yard line,

1987
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:51,920
Speaker 2: c J. Stroud finds Daria Goombwale as an injured Joe

1988
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 2: Mixon looks on for the game winning touchdown.

1989
01:31:56,040 --> 01:32:02,040
Speaker 1: Second and goal. Digs to the right side. You gotta

1990
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:06,479
Speaker 1: have offset. I CJ rolls after the right curst to

1991
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:14,959
Speaker 1: the Xue. Hit'strey, the Texan score, they lead. CJ. Stroud Tatari.

1992
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 1: Then who's had a huge game? What's the Texan's top.

1993
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 2: Top Then the second option came the very next week

1994
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:29,080
Speaker 2: in a game that a lot of people have forgotten

1995
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:35,439
Speaker 2: nationally sometimes here locally. The Texans beat the Buffalo Bills

1996
01:32:35,439 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 2: in Week five. Well, the Bills didn't have this guy

1997
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:41,880
Speaker 2: or that guy. No, they didn't have Khalil Shakir. Other

1998
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:44,120
Speaker 2: than that, they had everybody else. Now they've gotten Matt

1999
01:32:44,160 --> 01:32:46,519
Speaker 2: Milano back, but Milano missed. I think the first eleven

2000
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:49,360
Speaker 2: games of the year Texas were without Joe Mixon. They

2001
01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:53,000
