1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Here's the snap looking diving for the polog that he's 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: got it. Razzle tassle, touchdown, two stands and the Texans 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: go in front. Game day. He's every day. We had 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: a lot of energy and we brought about a spark 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: for this organization to come five nights a week. They 6 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: hits keep on coming out. The Texans say they have 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: it and they go no, it's Texans. All Exans block 8 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: him into Texans All Access. On a Tuesday, just wrapped 9 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: up an hour with Brandon denn Our, very first official 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: player on the Texans A Players Show, missing out and 11 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: about a fund wreckers. But guys, he was a lot 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: of fun. Got Mark Fantomer back with me through Doherty. 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm DPCO. Just to get a player on the Players 14 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: Show felt felt come normal again. I have to admit, Oh, 15 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: it's so good to have a player on the Players Show. 16 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: We had Andrey Johnson last week, which is great. I mean, 17 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: he's a player, he's an all time player, that's true, 18 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: a current guy who just went through actually went through 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: something that we wished it we didn't go through. We 20 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: wished we didn't go through the loss, but we went 21 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: through a game and he got through it a plenty 22 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: to share about it, So that was pretty cool. And 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: what you know, we talked about in the offseason, what 24 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: a murderous row beginning of this schedule, and now that 25 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: you're living through it, it's like, yeah, it's not like 26 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: the Ravens got beaten by the Brows or something. You're 27 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: thinking that maybe they're not as good as we thought. 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: They're as good as we thought they are who we 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: thought they were. It's gonna be tough, but we got 30 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: to always remember it's only week one, and there's lots 31 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: of stuff that happens in week one, and lots of 32 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: folks that look great in week one, and by the 33 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: time you're into November and December, a lot of those 34 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: teams that won that first game of the season are 35 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: absolute chumps by then. I'm not saying the Chiefs are 36 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: gonna be chumps, and I'm not saying that the Texans 37 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: are gonna peel off fifteen straight wins. I'm just saying, 38 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: let's keep a little bit of perspective. Nothing really good, 39 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, about the result of Thursday night football, but 40 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: it's just one game. Yeah, speaking of things turning around, 41 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: the Ravens last year turn things around, after losing two 42 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: games they lost, they won fourteen in a row, and 43 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: the Texans will be preparing for those very same Baltimore 44 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: Ravens for Sunday's game. The home opener. Kickoff is at 45 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: three twenty five pm. And you know we've got some 46 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 1: news of the week to get to, so let's get 47 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: to it. Just a little while ago, the Houston Texans 48 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: placed Kahale Wearing on the reserve injured list and they 49 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: signed at Farrell Brown, tightened third year out of Oregon, 50 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: to the active roster from the practice squad. So one 51 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: of the early IR guys. We've seen quite a few 52 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: players across the league get placed on IR, but not 53 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: all is lost. If you're wondering what happened to Wearing, 54 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: we don't even see them get injured. The IR rules 55 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: are very different this year, aren't they, Because you can 56 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: bring back any number of guys from the IR and 57 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: they don't have to miss six weeks of practice or 58 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: eight games or whatever half the season that they used 59 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: to last year. It's like you can bring a guy 60 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: back after missing only three weeks this year under the 61 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty i R rules. I mean, they've been relaxed. 62 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: These rules drew in recent years anyway, and you know 63 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: it was starting to become where it already wasn't it 64 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: CNXT year kind of stuff, right, necessarily, But now it's 65 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: better than ever. I mean now like you can get 66 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: back in a few weeks. Yeah, he could be back 67 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: as soon as week five, depending on what happens. He 68 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: played nine snaps on special teams on Thursday night. But 69 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: he also got to remember he didn't practice a lot 70 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: of training a lot during training camp, and that comes 71 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: after you know, he was he was not out there 72 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: last season, his rookie year. He had had a good 73 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: rookie mini camp in twenty nineteen. He had started to 74 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: have a very good training camp, and then he got 75 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: a concussion in the practices with Green Bay when the 76 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: Texans were up. They're taking on the Packers, so it's 77 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: he's a big on unknown and you know he was 78 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: only really covering kicks and punts and stuff the other night. 79 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: But he could be back pretty soon and as soon 80 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: as early October. Yeah. I mean I got a bunch 81 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: of Benny Jopru texts and I was thinking, well, you 82 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: know that's not fair. First of all, we're not there yet. 83 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: It's only year two, okay, And I know he's had 84 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: some injury issues like you pointed out, but you know, 85 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: Benny would have been a really good tight end. I 86 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: think in this league we'll never know. I mean, he 87 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: was drafted the same year Jason Witten was and Whitton 88 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: was a third rounder and Betty was a second rounder, 89 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: and you took Benny before Witton obviously, and Wittens still going. 90 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: I mean, how about that. But you who, you never 91 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: know about these things, and you have to hope, Okay, 92 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: this is it. He's going to be fine. I mean 93 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: other Texans who have had injuries and missed the first 94 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: year of their career, Greg Matts, who obviously things are 95 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: different now with Greg. But Nick Martin missed his first 96 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: year due to an injury. I mean it happened sometimes. 97 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: Not Ka Holly Ware, well, yes, Collie Waring, but Kennemie 98 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: Fairbaron missed his first year and now he's your regular 99 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: starting place kicker. So yeah, Lotson missed half of his 100 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: first year. Yeah, I mean, so these things happen. You 101 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: just have to hope that he gets it together, gets 102 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: off fire and can contribute. All right. Bill O'Brien says, 103 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot to build on, but a lot to 104 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: clean up after last week's loss at Kansas City. He 105 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: cited twenty miss tackles, inconsistency on offense. So the Texans 106 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: got back to work on Monday. They'll have a few 107 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: extra days to get healthy. One of those guys being 108 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. He's day to day after leaving the game 109 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: with a leg injury. And guys, that's actually was worrisome 110 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: because at one point you saw David Johnson come out 111 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: and that's when Duke Johnson was in for a series. 112 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: And then you see Duke Johnson come out and David 113 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: Johnson go back in the game. So I wasn't I 114 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: wasn't quite sure what was happening there, but the fact 115 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: that Duke Johnson didn't go back and for the rest 116 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: of the game was a little bit worrisome. But right now, 117 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: nothing to worry about. He's day to day. They will 118 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: continue to keep an eye on him and look at 119 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: the practice reports, especially as they start coming out Wednesday. Yeah, 120 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you gotta wonder about we here. 121 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: Heard Bill O'Brien on Monday talk about running back depth 122 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: instead of the running back depth is good. Outside of 123 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: those two Johnson's I wondered would we see Buddy Howell 124 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: because during camp O'Brien said he's kind of the clear 125 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: third guy, and Caron Higden, you know, wound up not 126 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: making the fifty three man roster. But we've seen the 127 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: stuff about c. J. Prosie being on the practice squad. 128 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: Scottie Phillips got elevated last week, undrafted rookie out of 129 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: Old Miss. So would one order maybe both of them 130 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: vault ahead of you know, Buddy in the running back 131 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: pecking order because Buddy's been, you know, outstanding as a 132 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: special teamer. However, would we wind up seeing Buddy get 133 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: to toe the rock a little bit on Sunday afternoon 134 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: in Energy Stadium? Yeah, I think I think it could 135 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: be him if you had to go there, Drew, and 136 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: I think that when you look at Phillips, he was 137 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: brought up because Gillespie is hurt and Gillespia, you know, 138 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: he kind of plays that role on special teams to 139 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: a degree, not that he does in the backfield, but 140 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: he could give you something in the backfield. So I'm 141 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: not so sure how they would handle it. I really 142 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: want to see Gilly back in there because he's such 143 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: a valuable special teams guy, and he can't make plays 144 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: out of the backfield for you. And as far as 145 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: the running back depth, it's something I brought up all 146 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: preseason that I thought after the two Johnsons, you didn't 147 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: know what you had. You know what you have in 148 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: pro sis because he's played in this league before, he's 149 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: had health problems. But again, you maybe have to piece 150 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: some things together, at least depth wise. But the shining 151 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: light here is that David Johnson looks really good and 152 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: you want to continue to use him. I love what 153 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: Duke brings to this offense, though, and if you have 154 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: to go without Duke for a game or two or 155 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: whatever it is going to be, or even practice, you know, 156 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: at least they have some guys you could put in there. 157 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: But there's a lot of unknowns about what you have 158 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: as far as like being in an actual NFL game. Yeah, 159 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: and you're right Scottie Phillips, certainly we haven't seen much 160 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: from him, so that's a big unknown. We sort of 161 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: know what we have with Buddy Howell. This coaching staff 162 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: loves Buddy Hell for what he does on special teams, 163 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: and it seemed like in camp whenever he was getting carries. 164 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: It looked good, but that was just his role, his 165 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: role with special teams, and it was really never a 166 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: need for him to be taking snaps on offense. But 167 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: we'll continue to watch that. Good news for Brandon Cooks. 168 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: He's expected to practice more this week after being a 169 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: game time decision last Thursday, and I think a lot 170 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: of us were wondering if he would even play in 171 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: Thursday's game at Kansas City because he was limited one day. 172 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: He missed one day of practice and you knew he 173 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: was sort of battling something with the quadra steps. That's 174 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: what he popped up on the injury report with and 175 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: then he was out there. But now he gets he 176 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: also gets the benefit of a few more days being healthy, 177 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: and he says he's feeling good. He wants to clean 178 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: up some things, work on the details, and get back 179 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: out there for Week two against Baltimore. I think Brandon 180 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: Cooks can bring so much to this offense. I'm dying 181 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: to see him in there on a regular basis, contributing 182 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: the way you know he can, because the guy's a 183 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: total thoroughbred at receiver. You know, when you had Will 184 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: Fuller kind of go off for over a Hundy the 185 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: way he did. And it wasn't even your typical Will 186 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: Fuller go off kind of game. It just seems sort of, 187 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, like when a basketball player, Yeah, a couple 188 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: of buckets here, a couple of buckets there, and then 189 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they got a thirty point game. 190 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: That's what Will's performance looked like to me. It was 191 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: very kind of you know, non nonchalant's the wrong word, 192 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: but it just sort of happens stance for Will. You know, 193 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: we've seen Will making explosive plays on his way to 194 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: huge statistical days. This was something that you feel like 195 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: you could get that a lot out of Will Fuller. 196 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: I think in this offense based on the attention you 197 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: have to pay to everybody else. But when Brandon Cooks 198 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: really gets going for this offense, it's gonna be special. 199 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun to watch. You have to open. 200 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: You have to hope it happens sooner rather than later. Well, 201 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: that looked good. He looked good. On the touchdown drive. 202 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: He had a couple of the pair of catches and 203 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: they weren't wrong ones, but they moved the chains and 204 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: he was he was a part of the offense and 205 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: like the rest of that offense on that drive, it 206 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: was like, hey, Texans really got something. This looks good. 207 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: They didn't. They weren't able to stay on the field 208 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: the rest of the game like they would have liked. 209 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: But he did have his you know, small moments, but 210 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: you want him to have bigger moments like you're talking about, 211 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: and you're gonna eat him to have those bigger moments 212 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: because once he starts having those, it's gonna open things 213 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: up for the rest of the offense, for Will Fuller 214 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: and so on and so on. Yeah, a time of 215 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: possession just really didn't allow for Cooks or Fuller to 216 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: make a lot of plays early in the game. It 217 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: just seemed like the Chiefs have the ball the entire 218 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: first half and the offense just couldn't stay on the field. 219 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: So game, I mean, what was it like? But it 220 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: was the opposite. It was the opposite of that Week 221 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: six win and earohead last year. Yeah, it really was. 222 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: I mean when I saw, you know, I'm looking at 223 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: the statuet after the game and no pass plays longer 224 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: than nineteen yards or the Chiefs and I'm thinking, jeez, 225 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: if you if I give, if you tell me that. 226 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: Going in, I'm thinking they're gonna win the game. The 227 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: Texans are gonna win two one hundred eleven yards by Mahomes. Well, 228 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: there's no way they're gonna run the ball that much. 229 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I figured, look, they they were running it 230 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: a little more on the playoffs than they did in 231 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: the regular season. You know, Damian Williams was running well 232 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: for them in the playoffs, so you saw that they knew. 233 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,479 Speaker 1: It's kind of like the NBA. Again, I use basketball 234 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: analogies a lot, where you know you're in a half 235 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: court offensive lot. Well, you're gonna run a little bit 236 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: more in the playoffs because you want to play clock 237 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: a little bit. You're trying to get out of these games. 238 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: You're handling things maybe a little bit differently. But man, 239 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: oh man, did Clyde Edwards Hilaire go off and Mahomes 240 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: didn't need to. It was death by a thousand, not 241 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: quite paper cuts, but little stabs where he got you 242 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: with first down conversion passes and they're just going to 243 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: down the field step by step. I gotta say, you know, 244 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: hurt all the good things about Edwards Hilaire in the 245 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: pre draft process, somebody did at LSU clearly a great 246 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: college back. But I do this thing every week. It's 247 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: called enemy Intel, and it's basically, you take quotes from 248 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: the other team talking about the Texans and he put 249 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: them in an article for him and just reading the 250 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: transcripts last week, I come through every day's transcripts. Their 251 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: media was just peppering every coach, every player that could 252 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: about Clyde Edwards Laire and I kind of had that 253 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: dumb old school mentality like there's a rookie, you didn't 254 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: done anything yet, Yeah, well you see why they're a 255 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: pepper in him. I mean he pepper and all those guys. 256 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: He came out and was very, very impressive, and I 257 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: know there were some tackling issues, but even had there 258 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: not been tackling issues, that guy is going to be 259 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: a problem in the years to come from the rest 260 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: of the AFC, certainly the rest of the AFC West, 261 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: but Edwards Hilary is the real deal. Who else's antenna 262 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: went up when Bill O'Brien said twenty miss tackles and 263 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: I thought, all right, you know you're gonna miss some tackles. Okay, 264 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: you're not gonna make every tackle, but if you make 265 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: thirteen fifteen of those tackles. You know, even thirteen of 266 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: those tackles, how does the game change? You know, you're 267 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: able to make those tackles. Yeah, they're getting some game, 268 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: but it's not as long, right, you're not missing tackles. 269 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: You're not seeing a five yard game turned into a 270 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: fifteen yard game. You're not seeing those things, you know that, 271 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: and not making the big mistake at the end of 272 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: the first half where you stall out at their thirty. Okay, 273 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: sometimes drives are gonna stall, but then attempt the fifty 274 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: one yard or and it misses, and then all of 275 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 1: a sudden they're coming back the other way, getting a 276 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: field goal for themselves. Six points swing by with them 277 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: driving out of the locker room to get another touchdown 278 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: on the board, and all of a sudden it's twenty 279 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: four to seven. Game not over, but game really on 280 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: the edge of a cliff and they're about to push 281 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: you off. It really affected things. I think the mistackles, 282 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: a couple of little you know, other errors, and before 283 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: you know it, I mean, the Chiefs are gonna take advantage. 284 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: There's gonna be an onslot if you're not careful. And 285 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: I think it's the same way with Baltimore. You know, 286 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: Baltimore against Cleveland, they had that late first half drive, 287 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: forty one seconds on the clock, they score, they leave 288 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: six seconds on the clock when the drive is over. 289 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: There was just a masterful performance out of their quarterback. 290 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: You can get into the same kind of trouble this week. 291 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: You're better not especially at home, in danger of going 292 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: on in two and it could happen. And look, we've 293 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: seen them go oh in three and win nine in 294 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: a row. Anything can happen, but you know, I'd love 295 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: to see them at least get a split here in 296 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: these first two. Well, the Texans will return home for 297 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: their home opener on Sunday at NRG State and they're 298 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: gonna be hosting the Baltimore Ravens. I mentioned kickoff three 299 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: twenty five because mark you, we're going to show up 300 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: at noon. Yes, I was. I feel like everybody should know. 301 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: Is that three twenty five kick the last By the way, 302 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: that's great deeper you're referencing an inside joke, but let's 303 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: let's explain the inside joke for everybody. Let's just put everybody. 304 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: Jay mcdevin, our our digital director, was saying, he said, 305 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, do we have to go as heavy on 306 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: the tune into the game messaging this week as we 307 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: did last week? As Thursday night, it's an odd night, 308 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: it's seven twenty kickoff, you know this Sunday. I said, Wow, 309 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: why do we have to go as heavy for a 310 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: Sunday noon game? I mean, this is exactly what we 311 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: do the majority of our history. And then everyone's like, 312 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: mark the games at three twenty five. I'm like, like 313 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: I was saying, the game is at three twenty five. Okay, 314 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: you definitely need to let people know when kickoff is 315 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: because some people just don't know that it's at three 316 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: twenty five. Better early than never, though, That's what I say. 317 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: And you know, after this, we've got a barrage of 318 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: Noon's starts. I'm looking at the schedule right, Yeah, they're 319 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: all nuns. We don't know about that Saturday Sunday game 320 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis and December, but that's it. Yeah. Last time 321 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: the Texans beat the Ravens twenty fourteen at home, it 322 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: was case Keenan versus Joe Flacco, Texans one twenty five 323 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: to thirteen. And the Texans have won eight straight when 324 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: coming off a loss. So if we're just looking at 325 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: the statistics here looks yeah, you talk about that eighth 326 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: straight that goes back to twenty eighteen, like September October 327 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: around there when they lost I think it was to 328 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: the Giants, and then it started up after that. But 329 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: let's go back, let's go down memory lane just for 330 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: a little bit. Indulge me this. So twenty five points 331 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: scored by the Texans that Texans that day, six field 332 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: goals from Randy Bullock, and then an Arian Foster touchdown 333 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: pass to see j Fedorowitz. Kind of the odd stat 334 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: line when you think about, you know, Houston Texans wins, 335 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: Arian and Deshaun Watson the only players in team history 336 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: whatever thrown, caught and received a touchdown. I'm gonna burn 337 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: that and run that little stat into the ground from 338 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: here to the rest of time. Wasn't case Keenum like 339 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: sitting in a tree hunting when he got called to 340 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: Houston because we had did so many quarterback injuries that year. 341 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: It was almost comical. I mean, it wasn't so sad. 342 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: But Case Keenum comes down, he gets his first win 343 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: as a Texan because he wasn't able to win in 344 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen when he was a starter. And I'll never 345 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: forget Arian Foster's press conference after the game when they 346 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: were asking him about his his touchdown pass. I mean, 347 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: he was just so so very proud of himself. He said, yes, 348 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: I am just a really really great quarterback. Always hit 349 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: the ball. It was passing, receiving, and rushing for a touchdown. 350 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: So he yes, the only ones. Okay, because Watson caught 351 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,359 Speaker 1: that you know, trick play one last year from Hopkins. 352 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: He gets a Patriot which was a pass even though 353 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: it's a lateral, but we got and then catch an 354 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: actual ass Like I want to see somebody throw it. 355 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to see that. I don't want to 356 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: see I don't want to see him going long. I 357 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: don't want to open anywhere near Watson wide open. Remember 358 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: that the Case was playing in that game because the 359 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: week before in Indianapolis it's Patrick and Savage got hurt. 360 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: So that meant next up was gonna be Thad Lewis 361 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: and said, the Texans guys got on the phone, the 362 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: guy got Case and basically it happened while the Texans 363 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: were in the air. So yeah, that was pretty surety, 364 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: not funny, but crazy stuff come back from Indianapolis and 365 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: Keena was with O'Brien a little bit in the off season, 366 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: right when O'Brien first got to the Texans and obviously 367 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: didn't stick, but O'Brien knew him. But one thing that 368 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: I'll never forget Obrian saying on his coaches shows that 369 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: when Keenan got back into the locker room before that 370 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: Ravens game. We're talking about this because that was the 371 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: last time the Ravens were at n RG. When Keena 372 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: got back into the locker room, the teammates were so excited. 373 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: Everybody was so excited to see him, and you know, 374 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: he's so well liked, so I think that that said 375 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: something to O'Brien about his leadership and everything. And I 376 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: thought that was one of the best coach games I've 377 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: ever seen from any Texans coach because of the fact 378 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: that you're down to case keenom and at the time 379 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: you didn't know what you're gonna get out of him 380 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: out of a deer blind and they came out throwing 381 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: in that game, and it wasn't a perfect statistical game, 382 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: but they ran that wild arian you know, Airan in 383 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: the Wildcat, and the defense dismantled Baltimore and remember Baltimore 384 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: still at Flacco, they had Gary Kuby as their offensive coordinator, 385 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,479 Speaker 1: and Kubiak was leading Baltimore to their best offensive season 386 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: ever until the last two years because now they have 387 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and they're erupting. But at the time that 388 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: was their best offensive season ever thanks to Kubiak. But 389 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: at NRG they got completely annihilated by the Texans that day. 390 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: And you know what, that team was such a hair 391 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: away from making the playoff, That Houston team that finished 392 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: nine and seven and twenty fourteen, that would have been 393 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: a nice team to see it in because they're starting 394 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: to play hot, even with Keenam at quarterback. And you know, 395 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: Keenam's built a career off those two starts. You know, 396 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: he obviously has built some nice things following that. When 397 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: I think back to twenty fourteen, I just remember JJ 398 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: Watt's monstrous season um lining up on offense. But like 399 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are a blur, the fact that this coachings have 400 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: had to get so many quarterbacks ready at on a 401 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: week's notice was just the most impressive and frightening thing 402 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: I think that I have seen a coaching Steff have 403 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: to yeah for two years, really and then I remember 404 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: after that game also midfield Gary Kubiak came up to 405 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: case Keenum and congratulated him. Yeah. Yeah, he was really 406 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: proud of it. That was his first NFL win, and 407 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: he was he was obviously proud, not that his team lost, 408 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: but that Keenan was able to come back and do it. 409 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: Remember how happy we were flying back from Cleveland when 410 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: Ryan Mallett beat the Browns, which was the whole off season, 411 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: then the whole off season going into fifteen, such an excitement. Hey, 412 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: we've got our guy. We finally found our guy. I mean, 413 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: they signed Hoyer and I was like, oh, and then 414 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: I you know, I found out that Hoyer might actually 415 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: be even with Mallett. You know, in the offseason stuff. 416 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: You know, you're hearing some rumblings and you get to 417 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: OTA's and the rest is history. You know, that's ran 418 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: Hard knocks and Ryan and Ryan Mallett sleeping through his alarm. 419 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: I just remember driving around town like alarm clock. There 420 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: was an alarm clock store or some sort of a 421 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: clock store on West Timer that we have clocks for you, 422 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: Ryan Mallett, and I just thought, oh my gosh, like 423 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,239 Speaker 1: this is this is going to be the thing that 424 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,239 Speaker 1: he gets remembered by. And we were we were we 425 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: were all excited coming back for that Cleveland win because 426 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: Cleveland was actually really good. They were at the top 427 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: of the AFC North that year. They were they were 428 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: going in and then put them out of that and 429 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: they haven't been the same since. They have not been 430 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: this since that moment. Twenty fourteen they were six and 431 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: three are they coming off a big time blowout over 432 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: Cincinnati and they had Brian They had Brian Hoyer that 433 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: year as their starting quarterback. And this will be the 434 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: first Texans trip to Cleveland since then, so this year, 435 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: so that's gonna be interesting as well. There, Texans are 436 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: going a lot of places this year they don't go 437 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: very often. Yeah, it's your rust You called it the 438 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: rust Belt tour because Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago. Yeah, I 439 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: mean that's all right there. I mean, Kansas City's not 440 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: really part of the rust Belt, but those four cities absolutely. 441 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: And you know the fact that you don't go to 442 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: Detroit much at all. This is only the third trip there, Chicago, 443 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: third trip there, so it'll be interesting and again without fans, 444 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: and I got to imagine that's a story, you're gonna 445 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: get too deep because I just think it's gonna be 446 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: so bizarre. And Bill O'Brien told us last night on 447 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: the show, you know, I used the word weird. He said, 448 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: it will be weird, it will be wed, It'll be weird. 449 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: Let's just face it, it's gonna be weird that fa 450 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: I know we've talked about this off the air, but 451 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: on the like on the air, you guys watched the 452 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: Sunday games, what did you think about the empty stadiums 453 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: of the crowd, Deise, I thought it was weird. I 454 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: didn't like it because they would show the crowd cheering 455 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: and then it was empty stands, Like it was just 456 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: you knew it was fake. It was like they could 457 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: they could have toned it down a little bit. Some 458 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: of the plays we're not worthy of, like ovations, Like 459 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm so numb to it now. It just because of 460 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: it baseball and what I was seeing in basketball. It's 461 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: just it's just just such a bonkers year on the 462 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: whole that I was kind of like, yeah, okay, you know, 463 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: watching our game the other night, that didn't seem right 464 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: because that that place is I'm not gonna say it's 465 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: the loudest. I know they claim it's the loudest New Orleans. 466 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: I think it is louder and Energy Stadium, But it's 467 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: a loud, loud place, and it got loud at times 468 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: the other night. But there's no way it can compare 469 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: to what that place normally would be like. But it 470 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: was off the super Bowl and the season opener. Those 471 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: fans made noise that night and they were booing, and 472 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: I think it was legit see dB. I think that 473 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: watching these games, like I see the action on the 474 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: field and I hear the noise. So when you don't 475 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: see the stands, use some action and hear the noise, 476 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: to me, it's like NFL football, And I think that's 477 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: like seventy percent of the game. Roughly seventy five percent 478 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: of the shots you see are that. But then when 479 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: they have a moment and you hear the crowd and 480 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you see stands and there's nobody 481 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: in there, and you're like, oh yeah, studio fake noise. 482 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: Like it's just a very strange dynamic. But I think 483 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: you need it this offseason. I was thinking, Nah, no, 484 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: fake noise, no way. You know, I'm a purist. I 485 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: don't want fake noise. Now that I'm wanting these games, 486 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: I'm like, you need the noise. You definitely need the 487 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: noise just to make the TV experience work. And as 488 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: far as the experience on the stands tough luck players 489 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: in fact, they probably like a little noise. But just 490 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: play ball, you know, just give us the best possible game. 491 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: Guys are balling out. Though guys are definitely balling out, 492 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 1: they're playing hard. I think on television it comes across 493 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: as well as it can under these circumstances. I would 494 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: say cardboard cutouts should be in every seat because in baseball, 495 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: to me, it doesn't work behind home play because you 496 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: get really see the faces, you know, like Astro's games, 497 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, look, Joe Sutton's behind the home plate tonight, 498 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 1: and you know, there's Chillman and there's Jim Crane. You know. 499 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: For football, you don't get that. You know, it kind 500 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: of blurs in all together, and it just makes it 501 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: a better look. I would almost go every seat, but 502 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: it's easier said than that, because you know, cardboard cutouts 503 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: get pricey after a while. Way back when when I 504 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: was in college, I was an extra in the movie 505 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: Any given Sunday. It's a football movie. Oliver Stone did 506 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: it yet. Part of it was filmed at Texas Stadium, 507 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: where the Cowboys used to play, And so I spent 508 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: a day down there just basically sitting around, because that's 509 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: what I guess you do on a movie set. You 510 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: sit around and then you shoot a scene. But they 511 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: had the stands. They had a like about one hundred 512 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: people in the stands, and then sort of on the 513 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: fringes of those people when they had to do cutaways, 514 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: they had cutouts. And then on top of the cutouts, 515 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: they had a balloon with the team colors, kind of 516 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: like with about four inches of string, like a helium balloon, 517 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: so it was kind of swing. So that gave the 518 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: the the look or the feel of movement. So they 519 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: saw people in their movement, and that's what was going on. 520 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: I wonder if we could see something like that. I 521 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: doubt we will, but I wonder if we could see 522 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: something like that in the weeks to come here in 523 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. Well, hopefully hopefully not, because hopefully there's a 524 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: few Fuse fans in the stands. Energy stating we saw 525 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: we saw teams across the league have fans Hopefully at 526 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: some point this year the Texans can have some other fans. 527 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: I think that's the goal, and they'll work toward that 528 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: and do what they can to get some fans in 529 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: the building. But you know, obviously not for this week. 530 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: You know, I lobby Jamie Ruth, so I'm like please, 531 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: He's like, it's not that easy. We can't. It's not 532 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: you just open the door, like, come out on people. 533 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's very complicated, a lot of levels of 534 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: politics to get through. All right, let's take a break 535 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: and when we come back, we're gonna take a look 536 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: at the Baltimore Ravens, what the Texans need to do 537 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: to turn things around and get a win on Sunday, 538 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: and then we'll go around the NFL, some big news 539 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: in the AFC South.
