1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Rosalvament All wide open across

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: the five peason touchdown Houston Fires Hobody. This is intercepted

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: dock to dock possessions with picks for this Texans defense.

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: Takeaway number three on the dance. Game Day is every day,

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:27,120

Speaker 1: it's Texans All Excess presented by Metris Firm. What's going on? Everybody?

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Welcome into this Monday Nation of Texas All Access from

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I'm yours, John Hare's glad

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: to be with you. Lout over twenty four hours, I

11
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: guess since the Texans took one on the chin against

12
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears twenty three twenty as the Bears kick

13
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: a field goal as time expires, car Cairos Santos all

14
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: kickers did a pretty good job yesterday nine field goals

15
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: on today. Let me see is that math right? That

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: seems right? Three for Santos Cooper Kyami. That was five

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: in pretty tough win conditions. Now the game winner wasn't, unfortunately,

18
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: but the Bears moved to two and one, on the season,

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: two wins at Soldier Field, one loss away at lambeau Field.

20
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: The Texans yet to get that win and just knocking

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: on the door, just keep knocking on the door, and

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: unfortunately haven't had one answered yet. Maybe it comes this

23
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 1: week against the beat up LA Chargers. We will find

24
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: out six days from today, as the Texans returned back

25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: home for the first time three weeks after starting the

26
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: season at home and going on the road for a

27
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,680

Speaker 1: But we're gonna kick it off with our two Monday Luminaries,

44
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: Spencer Tillman, and we'll kick it off with our guy

45
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: Andre where Mark take it away, Dre, your thoughts. Let's

46
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: start with Davis Mills here, Mills throwing the two picks

47
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: off deflections, throws a touchdown, pass passing game in general, Dre,

48
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: He's only sacked once, but man, it came at a

49
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: bad time. It never comes at a good time, does it.

50
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on what you saw yesterday through the air? Yeah,

51
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean if if those if it was thrown at

52
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: a different point in the game, you feel a little

53
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: bit differently about it. And you know, not so much

54
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: pressure on Davis this morning, but you know, when it's

55
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: thrown in that that situation, that's when you know you're

56
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: gonna get a little criticism. People are gonna be a

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: little tough on you. And so he's gonna have some

58
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: thick skin that uh, that that position you you're gonna

59
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: get praised, and you're gonna get beat up sometimes and

60
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: you've just got to live somewhere in the middle. That's

61
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: why I tell young quarterbacks all the time is that

62
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, when you throw a touchdown pass, not so

63
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: much act like you've been there because you can celebrate it,

64
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: but don't get too high because when you throw the interception,

65
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: if you play with the same emotion, then you're gonna,

66
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, dig yourself in a hole. So just play

67
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: the game from an even killed standpoint and live with

68
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: the results. Dre what would you like to see improved

69
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: more run defense or third down versions on offense? Yeah?

70
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh boy, um, well, you know, I think it's a

71
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: run defense really, because that is a debilitating way to

72
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: play a football game. It almost when you are at

73
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: the mercy of a team that that runs it and

74
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: you can't stop them, then they can do everything else.

75
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: Third downs are gonna come and go. You'd like to

76
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: see the improvement there, but sometimes you don't don't even

77
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: get the third down. You're just making first downs on

78
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: converting on first and second down, you don't get there.

79
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: So I would take the run defense because it's an

80
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: all day, every day, all game kind of thing. That

81
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: you need to stop. What are you see him from

82
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce? He did have eighty yards twenty carry's first

83
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: career touchdown. Couple of fumbles, Dre, He's got to clean

84
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: that up. What do you say to the young running

85
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: back after three weeks of NFL action? Just keep doing

86
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: his thing. And you talked about the fumble. Just hold

87
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: on to the ball. I think when he's in there,

88
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: he's he's past protected. Well, um, that's usually we talk

89
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: about this all the time. That's usually where a young

90
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: young running back doesn't see the field because he can't

91
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: protect the quarterback. Well, he's proven that he can. We've

92
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: seen it. John has seen it on tape. He's he's

93
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: he can. All three phases are there with him. He

94
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: runs so hard every play and trying to get extra yards.

95
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: I've never seen him fall backwards. He's always moving the

96
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: pile forward. So just more of him. I like him

97
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: as a player. I like what I've seen on the

98
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: field and on tape. He's gonna he's gonna be a

99
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: good addition to this team, or has been a good

100
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: addition to the team, Dre. How big a home run

101
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: is Jalen Peatree for this defense? Number thirty seven overall.

102
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I Mark and I've been talking about it

103
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: off the air. I said, I think he's you could

104
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: argue he's the best player in his football team right now.

105
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: I big a home run? Is it to get Jaylen

106
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: Petrie here? Big time home run. He's a playmaker. He

107
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: can be senses and can time blitzes. If you're gonna

108
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: use the safety to do that, he's got to have,

109
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: you know that part to his game. Uh. He got

110
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: a sack yesterday. Can play center field. He proved that

111
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: he's got some range. U two interceptions. He's a playmaker.

112
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: You know. It's he and Jo on the back end.

113
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: I think you know too. He's a he's a younger

114
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: player in terms of from a starting standpoint. Our game

115
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: started standpoint. So I think he got two really good ones.

116
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: I think Peacher's got Peacher special. I said yesterday, we're

117
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: talking off the air. Uh, he's having a Pro Bowl

118
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: type season and at a rookie. You know, as a rookie,

119
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: he's getting noticed right now because of his play and

120
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna slow down. He's a smart

121
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: player as well. We'll be rooting for more picks on

122
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: Sunday when the Chargers coming here. Dre and Herbert and

123
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: the Chargers lost badly to the Jaguars yesterday. We'll get

124
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: to them in a moment. But what about Herbert playing

125
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: with that rib cartilage situation. I would imagine a little numbness,

126
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: voluntary numbness took place before the game. But how much

127
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: can you hold up like that? And did you say

128
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: you played with something like that at one point? Yeah,

129
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: didn't know that I'd done it. And you know, you

130
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: get hit there and it's you're just playing off emotion.

131
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure yesterday he had to be shot, but he

132
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: had got it, gotten a shot. Me clarify that, gotten

133
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: a shot to play because it's just so painful. You're

134
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: playing on the adrenaline during the game, and then once

135
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: the game's over, you've stretched it, you've torked it because

136
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: you have to, you have to tork your body to

137
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: throw it from the in that area. It's it's just tough.

138
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: It's tough to play that way. It's painful to play

139
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: that way. Once the shot wears off, you know later

140
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: after the game's over, that's where you I'm sure this

141
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: morning he's really really feeling it. But I did it

142
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: played that way and then didn't know it until it

143
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: was about seventy five percent. Heels dre two of the

144
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins got a big win over the Bills yesterday, and

145
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: there's a shot of your boy Kenny Dorsey up in.

146
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: The Dolphins might be for real, man, Well that's gonna

147
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: be my question. How much? How much are they for real?

148
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: With two? And what they've got with Tyreek and Jalen

149
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: Waddle going on down there. Uh, they're special and two. Uh.

150
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: In my mind, I was always wondering what was the criticism.

151
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: I mean, they're trying to tank. I mean, what are

152
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: you expecting from him? You can't play quarterback with nobody

153
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: around you, and they're trading away all your assets and

154
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: you know everything. So he has finally and then now

155
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they figure it out. They want Waddled,

156
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: They got um the Tyreek Hill from Kansas City, and

157
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: they've they've got some weapons there for him and uh.

158
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: And I watched two at an Alabama practice, uh day

159
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: before day or two before they forget who they were

160
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: playing before game day, and the ball didn't hit the ground.

161
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: I thought he was the most accurate passer I had

162
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: witnessed at that point in time, and I'm wondering, what

163
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: is everybody criticizing him for it? And well he gets hurt. Well,

164
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: if you don't have anything in front of him, he's

165
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: gonna get beaten up. And I don't care who it

166
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: could be. Joe Montana resurrected if you put him in

167
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: the situation early that Toa was in. He's not himself,

168
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: and so they decided to upgrade the talent around him,

169
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: and you're starting to see the results from Toa is

170
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: a baller man. He is a baller and he loves football.

171
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: That that that doesn't go unestimated, because he can't underestimate

172
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: that a lot of guys play this game, especially on

173
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: a professional level, because of what the game provides for them,

174
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: they don't play it. He would play it for free.

175
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: That's that's how much he loves the game. M Andre.

176
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: What about the Jaguars though? What about our guy Trevor Lawrence,

177
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: our guy your guy? You guys thought he was gonna

178
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: be really good and I told him, I said no way.

179
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: Well I didn't say no way, but I said give

180
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: it a minute, And unfortunately we waited a minute, and

181
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: it's coming around here. He's It's not like they're hitting

182
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: big play after big play, but they're hitting the plays

183
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: they need to hit. Plus they're running the football. They

184
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: look really solid the last couple of weeks. Yeah, when

185
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: you look at what jack with Jacksonville has been the

186
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: last few years, right, there's been no competence there. Finally

187
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: they've gotten you know, they've been incompetent. When you when

188
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: you finally get someone in that understands the game and

189
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: how to run the organization, and uh, you've got a

190
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: real guy that can be can coach Trevor Lawrence. Uh.

191
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: They've been the laughing stock before, not anymore. But now

192
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: they've got Doug Peterson there. He's been to a Super Bowl,

193
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl. Uh, and now you're starting to

194
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: see what Jacksonville potentially can become. So it's dangerous because

195
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: we talked about this on the plane a little bit.

196
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: Mark Um. They've got they've always had players, but they

197
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: didn't know how to use the pieces. He knows how

198
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: to use the pieces and finish the puzzle. So, uh,

199
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: this is gonna be an up and coming team. I

200
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: don't think it was an accident the way they the

201
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: things they did to uh to the Chargers yesterday. Um,

202
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: this is they're gonna be a good football team, and

203
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: they've got players on both sides of the ball where

204
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: they can they can make things happen, dangerous, dangerous, deal

205
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: and Trevor, Trevor's leading the way. This is exactly what

206
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: I expected from from Jacksonville. Yeah, unfortunately, same Dray. Um, Yeah,

207
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: the Colts do you the Colts and Chiefs. It's kind

208
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: of on both sides, Dray with the Colts and Chiefs,

209
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: because I don't know that I'm all the way bought

210
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: in on the Colts, even though they gotta win. But

211
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: after watching the Chiefs struggle against that Colts defense, I

212
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: don't know that I'm sold on the Chiefs. Because the

213
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs had to get a pick six from a rookie

214
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: in a game against the Chargers to get a win

215
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: at home. What does that result tell you about either

216
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: one of those two teams thus far through three games? Right,

217
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: I think you know you in this league, we know it.

218
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: You can't roll your helmet out there and think you're

219
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: just gonna get a win. And I think that that

220
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: might be what happened yesterday in Indianapolis. The Chiefs thought

221
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: and watched and saw what we saw from the Colts

222
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: in Week one and the just they were just a

223
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: bad team. And now all of a sudden they're one,

224
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: one and one. Matt Ryan played finally like Matt Ryan

225
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: can play, throwing for a little over two twenty and

226
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdown passes my Homes with a you know,

227
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: a pick, and he just wasn't himself yesterday. I looked statistically,

228
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: it's not a my Homes type day that he usually has.

229
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: So you're on the road, You're you're looking at what

230
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: happened the first two weeks. They're old one and one,

231
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: and you just kind of float in there, and all

232
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden you find yourself in a game and

233
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: you cannot ramp it up enough to come back from it,

234
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: and Indianapolis walks away. I don't think Indianapolis is a

235
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: good team. I don't even think they're a well coached

236
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: team at times. But they've got out enough around them

237
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: or enough on that team that if you roll in

238
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: on them, they can they can beat anybody. And that's

239
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: that's what happened yesterday. Trey, what do you have this

240
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: weekend in college action? Gott a good one? Uh UCLA

241
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: who thinks should be ranked after at some point today

242
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: playing against you dubbed University of Washington UM out at UCLA,

243
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: so that the two really good quarterbacks that will that

244
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: will face off Michael Pennock Jr. And uh Duran Thompson Robinson.

245
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: I've been lucky this year guys that I've had some

246
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: really really good games that involved really really good quarterback playing.

247
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: These two are veteran players if you use that term

248
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: on the collegiate level. Un Pennocks can spin it like

249
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: nobody's business. And and dtr is one of the best

250
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: dual threat guys that I think you might see. So

251
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: it's we're priming for a good one on Friday night.

252
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Michael Pennocks, the lefty was that Indiana trance

253
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: to Washington, has done a whale of a job leading

254
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: Huskies two an undefeated record. So that's going to be

255
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: incredibly good Friday night game for Dre to do. Now.

256
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: Also joining US Spencer Tillman. He's played the running back position.

257
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: He knows what goes into it. We obviously wanted to

258
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: start and get his thoughts on Damian Pierce. Let's start

259
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: with Pierce, your thoughts on what you saw yesterday and

260
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: what needs work. Well, you never want to fumble the ball, right,

261
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: that's a problem. We understand that that's the turnover that

262
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: most predictably predicts wins and losses. I'm not sure what

263
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: kind of impact that would have had in the game

264
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: like yesterday, but it obviously had an impact. So you

265
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: need him in there. He's a dynamic player, but not

266
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: at the expense of, you know, the turnover, so you

267
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: just can't have that. And so if he can address

268
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: the issue of that, I think there's no question that

269
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: he should be playing more. I just wish that. I

270
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: always ask coordinators, are you a formula or field guy?

271
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is I want to

272
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: know you know, you go in with a sense to

273
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: what the game plan is going to be and what

274
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: you how you want to win the game. But in

275
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: mid stride there's an impact on a running back you

276
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: have to get you have to have a ramp up

277
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: to that mindset to be able to get in there now.

278
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: If you don't have the luxury of that, you just

279
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: got to be ready at all times. But the preferred

280
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: approach is to have a kind of a ramp up.

281
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: So I like Piers have been bullished on him like

282
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: most people have been. But you got to hang on

283
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: to the football. I don't think you expected for Rex

284
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: at thirty two years of age should be a guy

285
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: that's going to carry you from wire to wire. The

286
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: short term, maybe a good benefit for you because he's surehanded,

287
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: not going to make many mistakes. But if you want

288
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: to win the game, you got to have your best

289
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: athletes on the field. All right, Spencer, you're the I

290
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: think the one person to ask this question. What do

291
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: you believe is the identity of this Texas football team

292
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: right now? I don't believe it's established it. I know

293
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: what they want to be, but you know the conviction

294
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: to do something. We talk about this a lot. Confidence

295
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: comes from demonstrated ability. When you see flashes of it

296
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: and it's not consistent, then you can't rely on it.

297
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: What you want to have is something that you can

298
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: rely on when you know you need three yards or

299
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: every coach, every coordinators got to play in their back pocket.

300
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: They know what it's going to produce. Let's just say

301
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: for example, and I hate to go here, but you

302
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: ask the question. So if you've got a smash concept

303
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: and you're trying to come back and win a game.

304
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: It seems like a sure handed play the call when

305
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: you got Rex running what would be the hitch or

306
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: the hook and then you got to post behind it.

307
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: That's a classic smash concept. But if that linebacker gets

308
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: whipped on you and it's standing there, and then the

309
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: other thing that complicated is you have a center that's

310
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: matched up with a former Texan by the way, on

311
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: that particular play, if I don't think it was Blacks

312
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: and that they got to handle the ball. But what

313
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: you have is a situation where you need to get

314
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: that guy's hands down. But if you're trying to deliver

315
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: the ball over that guard center gap to that hitch route,

316
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: then you need somebody who's mindful. If you've got a

317
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: single block and you're not, you know, chop blocking somebody,

318
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: they're not engaged with someone else, you got to get

319
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: that guy's hands down. And so that's what I would

320
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: like to see. I like to see guys play the

321
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: game like the old centers used to do with the

322
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: late Bob McKittrick in San Francisco used to tell guys, look,

323
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: if you're not being double team, you can't be chop blocked.

324
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: So the bottom line is bit get the hands down,

325
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: Jesse Sapola and you know, restaurants and all those guys

326
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: would do wonderful things. They come back and ask the

327
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: quarterback where's the route settling down? They knew they were

328
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 1: intimately aware of where the ball was needing to be

329
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: released from. And so I just think that level of

330
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: engagement is the next step for the Texans to know

331
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: that there there's no play off. Everything is integrated and

332
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: an impact something else. So I would like to see

333
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: that to be the next step of the Texans. Pans

334
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: may not see it initially, but believe me, when you

335
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: break the tape down, John, I know you see it.

336
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: It's there. You need some work on that left front line.

337
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: Spencer opposing point total wasn't ridiculous at all. In fact,

338
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: the Texans defensively, it's not like the Bears ran the

339
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: clock out on them. They got the ball back again

340
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: and again, but they gave up way too many rushing yards.

341
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: We all agree on that. What's that going to take

342
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: to improve in that category? Well, listen the way they

343
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: play the game. You guys know that you have to

344
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: expend a lot more deep more energy to play defense

345
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: at a high level. But when you got two backs.

346
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're hard pressed to find guys

347
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: went healthy. Montgomery was the start of the week before

348
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: this last game. And then you know, you get to

349
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: live running like he did yesterday. That was just a

350
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: that was crazy, man. And so those guys that are

351
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: able to run through arm tackles, you're not gonna just

352
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: fill gaps and just be pedestrians. You have to come

353
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: with aggressive energy and finish the play. And I don't

354
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: know anything other than to say it's the mindset. I mean,

355
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: the simon part of it. You're gonna get there, be

356
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: in your place, but if you get displaced, then you

357
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: physically got beat. So you know, you can make great

358
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: plays and I've seen it happening. And then the numbers

359
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: that stuff that really doesn't bother me. I mean, I

360
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: had a game this past weekend where Oregon had like

361
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty four yards at halftime. They had

362
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: twice as many yards as Washington State did, but they

363
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: were yet behind, you know, like nine points on the

364
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: scoreboard at halftime. It's points per possession that you need

365
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: to be concerned about, particularly if you're playing an opponent

366
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: that's one hand tied behind their back, they can't throw

367
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: the ball. So you know, every time you get your

368
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: hands on the ball, while you're in this phase that

369
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: the Texans are in right now, you have got to

370
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 1: be obsessed with scoring points. You have to be, and

371
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: that's got to be your measuring stick. And so unless

372
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: until they can get to that point, no game is

373
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: going to be put away, specially your lovey Smiths. When

374
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: the players come in tomorrow after they're off today, what's

375
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: your message to them through three games and then getting

376
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: ready to take on the Chargers in week four? I think, guys,

377
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: it's not going to get any easier. That's so cliche,

378
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: but I would follow it up with this simple statement.

379
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: You and this team has got to get better at

380
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: dealing with worse. You're not going to get better. The

381
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: pathway is not going to get easier. The fans are

382
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: going to get louder. Your emotional state. You can't not

383
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: play the inside game. The inner game in your head

384
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: is telling you. You may dampen it if you want to,

385
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: but you know you should have beaten Chicago. You know

386
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: they've got a quarterback that if you you know, passing

387
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: it to forty seven percent clips one hundred and six yards.

388
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: No quarterbacks should be able to beat you with those numbers.

389
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: And so if they can today in this spread era

390
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: that we're in right now, if somebody can beat you

391
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: with the forty seven percent throwing percentage in one hundred

392
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: and six yards passing, something's wrong. So should you let

393
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: one slip away? So, guys, it's not going to get

394
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: easier from here. Name me one team that's going to

395
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: be worse than Chicago that we've got in the media future.

396
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: There's not one. You can't find one in the short rings, right.

397
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: So even the teams in your division are starting to

398
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: step it up. Indianapolis, what an unbelievable job they did yesterday.

399
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: You got teams around. It's not going to get easier.

400
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: We've got to get better at handling difficult and to

401
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: the degree that we can do that and measure ourselves

402
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: against ourselves, not anybody else but ourselves, you cannot have

403
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: a reasonable expectation that the outcome is going to be

404
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: different if you don't get better at managing what you're

405
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: not very good at. Rock Steady Andrea Ware Spencer Tillman

Speaker 1: year where football is king is there? I mean where

428
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: it's not but not here. But big weekend ahead of

429
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: football here at NRG Stadium. Of course Chargers and Texans

430
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but big one on Saturday before that with

431
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: the ninety six edition of the Battle of Pineywoods presented

432
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: by h EB, Sam Houston, State Stephen F. Austin gonna

433
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: do it again once again here at NRG Stadium. Fletch,

434
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: this game has been here. How many years? This game

435
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: been here the twelfth week? Okay, twelfth year and it's

436
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: not been a great spot for SFA, but it's been

437
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: a really great spot for Sam Houston. But last year

438
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: I remember being in Buffalo kind of tracking the game

439
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: from AFAR and SFA looked like they were going to

440
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: break the streak and then Sam Houston seemed to snatch

441
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: the what is it, they snatched victory from the jaws

442
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: of defeat or you could go the other way that

443
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: that SFA snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Either

444
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: way you want to look at, it was a heck

445
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: of football game last year. To imagine we're in for

446
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: that again this year with Sam Houston taking on SFA.

447
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: I know there's so much that you do around the game.

448
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: We'll talked about the game in a second, but there's

449
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: so much that's going on around the game. I'm gonna

450
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: make sure that we hit all those different things that

451
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: you have associated going on with a Battle of the

452
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: pine Woods. Well, it's it's anytime we do a college

453
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: football event here at n RG, we really try and

454
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: make it a total weekend experience, give the fans something

455
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: to extend their stay here in Houston, have a great

482
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: you've got two opportunities. Certainly can do it with the

483
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 1: Texans on Sunday, but why not make a weekend out

484
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: of it to join us on Saturday as well. Okay,

485
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: let's just a dumb question. You start talking about the weather.

486
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: I got me thinking, who would make the decision to

487
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: open the roof or does the roof have to stay

488
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: closed or is it contractually to stay closed? Is that

489
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: written the contract? How does that work? I mean, Johnny,

490
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: like eighty five is a beautiful football day, but that's

491
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: still a little one's little still a little warm out here.

492
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: If you remember, we had it opened in twenty sixteen

493
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: for a half and it was it got quite toasty. Yeah. Yeah,

494
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: so we're gonna We're gonna have the roof closed seventy

495
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: two and sunny all the time inside here on the stadium,

496
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: and I should make for great football weather, no doubt. Yeah,

497
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: I can't wait. It is going to be It's gonna

498
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: be fun. And it's unfortunately a rivalry with Sam Houston

499
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: going to USA in twenty twenty three, I don't know

500
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: how much longer the rivalry sticks around, So I mean,

501
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: who knows what what happens with it. But if it

502
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: is the last time we have it, I mean it's

503
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: obviously glad. I'm glad that we have it here in Houston,

504
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that I'm actually going to be a

505
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: part of it call in the game with Randy McAvoy. Yeah,

506
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great, a great rivalry game as

507
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: it is every single year, I know, been lopsided the

508
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: last few. Certainly Sam Houston ride in a ten game

509
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: win streak, but almost every single one of those games

510
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 1: has come down to the fourth quarter no matter what.

511
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: And and anytime you've got two teams that have the

512
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: bitter rivalry that these two have, you know, you never

513
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: know what could happen. And certainly last year was a

514
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: great case with that SFA in control completely for three

515
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: and a half quarters, and somehow, some way, the defending

516
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: national champs at that point just figured out a way,

517
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: you know, with with Eric Schmidt and what he was

518
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: doing at quarterback, for him to to find a way

519
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: to win came down to a late long missfield goal.

520
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: S had the chance to take it, but ultimately not

521
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: in their favor. And look coming off of the early

522
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: part of this year, I think both of these teams

523
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: are still trying to find themselves. You would know better

524
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: than anybody how how that transition is happening, certainly with

525
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: Sam Houston. But but SFA comes in off of a

526
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: ridiculous win this weekend um and and should bring a

527
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: lot of momentum and and that should play well for

528
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: the Lumberjacks in their favor. For sure. I haven't decided

529
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: whether I'm actually gonna bring that up or not. I

530
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: haven't even I've thought about it. I saw that score

531
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: and I thought, I don't know, I don't know if

532
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm even gonna gonna bring it up. I might bring

533
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: it up in in passing, but U it's a it's

534
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: been a unique year in some sense for SAM because

535
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: they got off to an od to start and they've

536
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: not been owing two in a long time. And it's

537
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: also a unique year for SAM because they're they're in

538
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: between They are not allowed to play an yet. Yes, playoffs,

539
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: but they're not allowed to go up all the way

540
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: to the USA yet and play in a bowl game.

541
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's nine games they get to

542
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: play and and that's it. And it's a it's a

543
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: really unique position that they're sort of in and trying

544
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 1: to decide various things about the program. So I'll be

545
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: real curious how they go about this one against against

546
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: Steven FFF. Certain guys may not play, they might play.

547
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: It's it's just a really interesting dynamic that that they

548
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: have going on at SAM right now because of the

549
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: because of the transition phase at their end. Well, no doubt.

550
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: But but you know that that a guy like Casey Keeler,

551
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: the head coach there, it doesn't want to lose this game,

552
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, certainly has those those uh student athletes prepared,

553
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: uh with with whatever he can do to make sure

554
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: they're putting the best thing forward. I mean, I was

555
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: talking to him a couple of weeks ago when I

556
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: was up at their home opener, uh, when they had

557
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: over a really good Texas Commerce team that's also in

558
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: a transition, um, and Casey was talking about how you know,

559
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: they had forty six players that were transfers this year

560
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,239
Speaker 1: in and out, some of them even up to the

561
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: first week of the season, you know, and just you

562
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: spoke to the nature of how they are in transition,

563
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: the transfer portal affecting college athletics and college football significantly

564
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: at all levels. Uh. And and so you know they've

565
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: benefited in some ways. They've got a good quarterback comes

566
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: in from Georgia Tech. He's learning learn how to build

567
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: the offense with with John Perry, and they finally they

568
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: finally started to figure out Game three with with some

569
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: good points on the board there. But ultimately, UM, you

570
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: know that that program has been affected by the transition

571
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: more than any And I know a great coach like

572
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: Kobe Carthill's going to try and figure out a way

573
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: to exploit that the best way he can. And he's

574
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: got an offense if nothing else that's coming in really

575
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: excited about how they're playing. I know Kobe Carthill took

576
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: over that program and like, okay, curious guy came from

577
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: the Vision two, Like all right, let's see how he does. Man,

578
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: he's really kickstarted that program. I mean the first time

579
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: they played, the first time he played in the Battle

580
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: of Piney Woods, Sam had one of their better teams

581
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: and they went toe to toe and it was like

582
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: one of the proverbial Hey, this is the rivalry. You

583
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: can just throw the records out the window. Which is

584
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: which is true? And I think Colby has just been

585
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: he kept chipping at the rock, chipping at the rock,

586
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: chip out the rock. I would imagine at ASFA this week,

587
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: they are this is the time, No, this is this

588
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: is the time that we have to go get this

589
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: one against these guys. Look, if you're gonna if you're

590
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: gonna play twelve twelve gears off campus with the rivalry

591
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: as as this one has, and who knows this maybe

592
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: the last I know SFA is not gonna be terribly

593
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: excited to look back on the last last ten. But

594
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: if they book in with the first one in the

595
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: last one, that they're certainly gonna be a lot of

596
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: people excited up in the Piney Woods for sure. Let

597
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: me ask you a question, flex, I don't know if

598
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: you were here when when it first came here, but

599
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: why did the Texans and lost our Sports Entertainment decide

600
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: to bring the Battle of Piney Woods here? Why was

601
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: it in a practive game if you will, to bring

602
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: two energy stadium. Well, if you look at the way

603
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: this game was set up, this is really a three

604
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: party partnership and each of the entities, the two schools

605
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: and Lone Star equally sharing in the responsibilities and making

606
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: it a great experience. And that's something that when you

607
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: look at the type of institutions that these two are,

608
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: the rivalry that they've had over the years, great regional

609
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: partners to our organization, very impactful on the city of Houston.

610
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: From a recruiting perspective, this is the most important market

611
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: for both of these schools. They have more students out

612
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: of the Greater Houston area than any other part of

613
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: the state of the country. So for them makes a

614
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: lot of sense to have this event here in Houston.

615
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: They've done such a great job, both of them and

616
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: really painting the town this week. You're starting to see

617
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: it today with billboards around town and I'm hearing the

618
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: commercials from from the schools as they use this as

619
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: a recruiting tool more than anything else, but certainly it

620
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: is a great experience for their alums, for their student athletes.

621
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, to get to come and play in a

622
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: venue like this is something that that has recruiting advantages

623
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: has it creates great memories for those student athletes, win

624
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: win or lose, and so ultimately it's been a very successful,

625
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: a very very important part of our organization. And we're

626
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: really excited for Saturday to get here. As we kicked

627
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: this puppy off in the ninety six Times. Yeah, it's

628
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: gonna be fun two thirty kickoff. I know you've following

629
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the rest of college football. Biggest surprise

630
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: from Week four yet Texas going down at Texas Tech. Yeah,

631
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee beating University of Miami A and m saved

632
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: by an upright seemingly I guess you could say a

633
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: m O Arkansas I was the biggest surprise, was the

634
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 1: biggest thing that stood out to you week four, you know,

635
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean we're still you know, obviously, this is our

636
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: first game of the college football season this year. Note

637
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: no Texas kickoff so for our organization, but we've always

638
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: got an eye on it as as we host the

639
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: Taxac Texas Bowl come December twenty eighth, the big twelve

640
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: SEC matchup once again in prime time. And yeah, I

641
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: think you hit the nail on the head with a

642
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: lot of those I will say this certainly loved locally.

643
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: The rivalry that happened between you of h and Rice.

644
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: You know, was was great to see what what Mike

645
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: Bloombrun's doing and building that Rice program. I know they

646
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: just didn't quite get it there. But um, you know,

647
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: that was a great game on Saturday, and those two programs, um,

648
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, continue to be front and center here along

649
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: with the Aggies, the Tigers, and certainly the Long Horns. Um.

650
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: So it speaks to why Houston is such a fantastic

651
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: college football market to have great teams, great programs, great

652
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: games like that one on Saturday. But but I would

653
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: be remiss if I didn't mention the Cats Kansas Jayhawks

654
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: at four and No. Two. I mean, wow, what a

655
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: story that peopled is done up there, and and look

656
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: it's um, it's it's amazing. I saw this stat over

657
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: the weekend and you had two of them facing each

658
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: other head to head. But uh, the basketball programs that

659
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: are historically great, the North Carolina's Syracuse Syracuse, the Kansas,

660
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: the Dukes um all playing really really well, which is

661
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: made for a probably a lot of fun on those

662
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: campuses this time of year when it's traditionally not so

663
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: I think. I think it's great to see what college

664
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: football is uh is doing right now. There's so many

665
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: surprises each and every weekend. Um, we're if you wanted

666
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: to try and tell me who's gonna win the Big

667
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: twelve right now, I love to see you, Crystal Ball.

668
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it is, it is. It is an amazing,

669
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: an amazing time. And I'll say in closing, the Sunflower

670
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: State as a whole had a great weekend watching the

671
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Taxac Texas Bowl Kansas State Wildcats or

672
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: Taxac Texas Bowl champions the Kansa State Wildcats going to

673
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: Norman and win in a big, big way. I was

674
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: so happy for UM, for UM, Chris Climate and the

675
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: entire group they were. They were so great to work

676
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: with last year. And and I know tough for Oklahoma,

677
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, with with UM, with with their transition with

678
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: venables there this year. But uh, I have a feeling

679
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna bounce back just fine. They've got a great

680
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: team there, and uh so it's it's just a lot

681
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: of fun as we as we continue to keep an

682
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: eye on the rest of the year. I'm I'm still uh,

683
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm still up in the air on who's gonna win

684
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: the Big twelve and and we'll see how it all

685
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: unfolds relative to our game here in December, which which

686
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: will certainly be talking about more in the in the

687
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: near future. Do you want a fun and difficult question

688
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: to answer? Oh, I love it, fire away, But what's

689
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: the best college football team in Texas right now? Well?

690
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: I know, the only undefeated one sits up in Fort Worth,

691
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: ah TCU say they've got a big one this weekend

692
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: with Oklahoma. But I mean the state of college football

693
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: is is certainly uh all over the place. Every week

694
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: has intrigued uh. You know, look, I thought the Aggies

695
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: we were We're dead to rights coming out of that

696
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: lost app state. They've bounced back nicely. You know, a

697
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: lot of people similarly said the Longhorns were well on

698
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: their way, and they're not quite there yet. After a

699
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: tough one in Love, I mean, who Joey mcguires three

700
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: and one, Yeah, I mean Dave Randa's three and one

701
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: got that team playing. I think Baylor and TCU, I

702
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: mean I was impressed who I saw from Texas Tech.

703
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: I think Texas Tech is better when Donovan Smith is

704
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: playing quarterback. But I thought about that as you were

705
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: talking about locally, I was like, man, who, because Houston

706
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: probably isn't where they need to be. Rice is better,

707
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: But of course they got knocked off for them by Houston.

708
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: Texas took the loss of Texas Tech. A and M.

709
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: You would maybe say is the most athletically gifted team,

710
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: but it's not as if they've played extremely well this year.

711
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: The team that's probably been the most dominant, or I

712
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: guess maybe the best way of putting it is TU.

713
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: I think TCU has been there. You know, Baylor had

714
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: to hiccup at BYU where they just got you know,

715
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: there was a game that b YU seemingly controlled, but

716
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: Baylor made close. But I think TCU Baylor are right there.

717
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: Big win by TEP beating Boise State. But UTEP's not

718
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: quite there either. But it's a tough year to try

719
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: and figure that out right now. Hopefully in a few

720
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: weeks we'll figure it out. But right now it's like, man,

721
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's so close. Let's just sit back

722
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: and enjoy it. That's what we're here to do. Absolutely, Fletch,

00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Sean Harris. It's time to get on

769
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: the clock and buzz through Week four in the NFL.

770
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: Put me on the clock and let's go. In Tennessee,

771
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: the Titans took on the Raiders and the Titans held.

772
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: On twenty four, twenty two, Mac Hollands scored one fourteen

773
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: left on a throw from Derek Carr. The two point

774
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: conversion failed and the Titans got their first win of

775
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: the season. They moved to one of two. Raiders moved

776
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: to oh and three. Derek Carr did throw for three

777
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: hundred and three yards, but an interception led the way

778
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: for the Titans and Ryan Tannehill to come up with

779
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: a big win. Derrick Henry ran for eighty five and

780
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: a Tuddy Tannehill through one ran one Titans one and

781
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: two and one of the weirdest games of the day.

782
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: Staying in the AFC South, the Colts got a win.

783
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: They moved to one one and one, but they were

784
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: stopped on a last minute drive by the Chiefs by

785
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: getting up after a sack. Chris Jones happened to get

786
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: in Matt Ryan's face and say something to him right

787
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: in front of the officially you have flag fifteen yards.

788
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: The Colts got to keep the ball and eventually Matt

789
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: Ryan would throw a twelve yard touchdown past to Jalani

790
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: Woods for the Colts twenty to seventeen win. Chiefs fall

791
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 1: to two and one and one of the bigger upsets

792
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: in my opinion, of the day the Dolphins. I know

793
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have been good. The Dolphins get a win

794
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: over the beat up Buffalo Bills twenty one nineteen. The

795
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: Bills ran out time at the end of the game

796
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: as Josh All was trying to get everybody up to

797
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage to try and spiky throw for

798
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: four hundred yards and two touchdowns, but that somehow wasn't

799
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: enough as two a tongue of violo threw a touchdown.

800
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds had two on the ground even though he

801
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 1: only ran at six times. The Miami Dolphins are three

802
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 1: in oz and the Buffalo Bills are two and one.

803
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: The Vikings and Lions were all over the map. The

804
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: Lions got out front in the third quarter twenty four

805
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: to fourteen, but the Vikings scored twice, including the game

806
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: winner from Kirk Cousins to kJ Osborne for twenty eight

807
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: yards out They win twenty eight twenty four. Vikings moved

808
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: to two and one on the season. Lions fall to

809
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: one and two as kirk Cousins throws two touchdowns and

810
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: throws were two sixty and Dalvin Cook has ninety six

811
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: yards rushing. Ana Tutty Minnesota two and one Lions one

812
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: and two. The Ravens Lamar Jackson the MVP in twenty nineteen,

813
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: put on a show. He had five touchdowns and mac

814

Speaker 1: Jones got hurt in the last play of the game.

815

816
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: and one. Patriots Balls who wanted two. Keep an eye

817
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 1: on that mac Jones injury for the Patriots. The Bengals

818
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: whitewashed the Jets, No Jets Magic. The Bengals got out

819
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: in front, stayed out in front. They win twenty seven

820

Speaker 1: outside our game, the Jaguars hammered the Chargers thirty eight

836
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: to ten, and it probably wasn't even that close. It
