Speaker 2: be here, all right.

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 3: So we have a lot to talk about with the

20
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills coming to town, but let's go back and

21
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: discuss the win over Jacksonville. Gritty. It was really an

22
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: all hands on deck needed situation to win.

23
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: At the end.

24
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all about finding ways to win football games,

25
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 4: and that's the most important thing, and we're able to

26
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 4: do that there at the end of the game. Say,

27
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 4: some of the things that stood out, some of the

28
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 4: situational football and a half end of the game, those

29
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 4: ended up being kind of the turning points in the game.

30
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 4: Some other areas that weren't necessarily conducive to winning, but

31
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: we're able to overcome some of that. Players made enough

32
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: plays in the end with did you a good job? We're

33
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 4: on a clock down there at the end two minute execution,

34
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 4: which is something with two minutes. We walked through it

35
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 4: every day, the communication, some of the nuances that go

36
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: into it, and then manage the clock there a little

37
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 4: bit and then basically scored with sixteen seconds left, forced

38
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 4: them to use their timeouts and had to handle a

39
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 4: couple ball handling opportunities there with the kickoff and then

40
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 4: defending a couple of plays. So it's always good to

41
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 4: win football games at home in the division. Put ourselves

42
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: in a pretty good spot, and we'll have a challenge

43
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: here in front of us here, which we'll talk about

44
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 4: in a little bit.

45
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: Nick. Besides what my wife once asked me, she said,

46
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, isn't every play a situation. I was like,

47
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: I guess, but there are certain ones that a that

48
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: pop up more often four minute those kind of things.

49
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: How often do you guys work on that?

50
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Because you watch college football as much as I do,

51
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: I watched it this past weekend. I saw more colleges

52
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: really just botched the end of a game just because

53
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: they really didn't seem to have a focus on How

54
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: much the focus do you guys put on it during

55
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: the week?

56
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 2: Coaching staff, your staff, everybody, sure, you try to cover everything.

57
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 4: And I would say a lot of teams I would say,

58
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 4: right now they have I would say a game management

59
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 4: component where you're just looking specifically at those players and

60
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 4: you have their plays and you have discussion during the week,

61
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: how would we handle that situation if this comes up,

62
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 4: this is what we'd want to do. Here's a few

63
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: examples of what happened during the course of games. So

64
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 4: you take that information, you try to figure it out

65
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: within your process.

66
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: How do you apply it.

67
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: The reality is you don't have any idea what's gonna

68
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 4: come up during the course of the game. You know,

69
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 4: early downs, you're gonna have first and second out players,

70
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: You're gonna have a third down but the red area,

71
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 4: if you get down there, what that's gonna entail. Are

72
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: you gonna have some end a half plays? Are you

73
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: gonna be on? Which side of the ball are you

74
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: gonna be on? With those plays? End a game plays,

75
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 4: other situational plays that come up, So you try to

76
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 4: prepare for as many of those situations as possible.

77
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: Hopefully you've covered them.

78
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: The big thing is make sure the players understand what

79
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: the expectation is and what we have to do in

80
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: order to execute those situations.

81
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: So we spent a lot.

82
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 4: If you really look at a game, sixty five ish

83
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: seventy plays on either side of the ball, another twenty

84
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 4: five to thirty plays in the kicking game.

85
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: Typically it's gonna come down.

86
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 4: To probably six or eight plays within those sixty five

87
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 4: seventy are going to end up being the difference in

88
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 4: the game. So not to minimize the other plays, but

89
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: but when Dimiko talked about this, in a team any

90
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: other day, you don't know when that play is going

91
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: to take place. There were a number of those plays

92
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: that took place in the Jacksonville game. A little bit

93
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: later in a game, well, it could have been a

94
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: play earlier in a game that had impact later in

95
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: a game. So it's that's why it's just important to

96
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: play each play, understand the situation, just make sure you're prepared,

97
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: and ultimately.

98
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: Just go out there and be able to execute. Ye. Well,

99
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: this is in the everybody's important.

100
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: Every spot in the building is crucial because if I

101
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: told you may there, you'd be in Week four at

102
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: the goal line less than thirty seconds left and you're

103
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: in the offset eye with Daria Goodbowale and British Brooks.

104
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: You might not believe me, now I.

105
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: Know you would, but that speaks to everybody being important

106
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: and you never know who's going to contribute.

107
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 4: We've talked about that multiple times on this show. So

108
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: how we build a team, who's on the team, how

109
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: they get in the building, where they come from.

110
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: Once they're here, everybody has to prepare to play each week.

111
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 4: So you prepare a hunt, a roster players that are

112
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 4: off the roster, prepared to play, and you never know

113
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 4: when your number is going to be called and to

114
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: be able to execute a critical situation. I would say

115
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 4: two are probably more dependable players in that situation that

116
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 4: making a play. Dara has been a very dependable player

117
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: since he's been here. His role has been more pronounced

118
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: in a kicking game, but when he's been used offensively,

119
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 4: he's had an impact on positive impact on the game.

120
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 4: And then CJ was able to manage that whole drive.

121
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 4: So there were two good football players that were able

122
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: to make a play under duress in a critical situation.

123
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: Makes sense. Senior Bowl twenty twenty one Nico Collins, and

124
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: he's an interesting test case. Kat've talked to a lot

125
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: of people about Nico at that particular Senior Bowl and

126
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: they were like, you know, he'd been rusty, he didn't

127
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: play in a twenty twenty season.

128
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: And I know we've talked about Nico a lot. I

129
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: want to go back to that.

130
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: What was it that you saw Nico back then that

131
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: you thought, Okay, this guy can really grow into the

132
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: type of players becoming. Maybe you didn't even see him

133
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: becoming this kind of player so I can make an impact,

134
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: but maybe you got to this level.

135
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think one thing you always have.

136
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: To be careful, John, is just narratives and just broad generalizations.

137
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 4: And what we have to do is take each player,

138
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 4: take the information that we have, and then just make

139
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 4: an assessment. Sure, and that's all we can go off

140
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 4: of And it's a combination of getting that player in

141
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 4: the program and then does that player do enough things

142
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: to put himself in a position to become a good

143
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 4: football player. We felt Nico was a talented player. I mean,

144
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 4: he was big and fast when you watched him play

145
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 4: at Michigan. He wasn't necessarily refined, but there were times

146
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 4: where he was behind the defense quite a bit, so

147
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: he went through a little bit of a miss foot

148
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 4: all didn't play football. We kind of went through the

149
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: whole weight progression and all that, But ultimately it comes

150
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 4: down to the work that you put into your craft,

151
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 4: how committed you are to that work, and just your

152
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 4: willingness to continually improve and get better and have belief

153
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 4: in yourself. But Nico deserves a lot of credit. Ben

154
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: McDaniels deserves a lot of credit, the offensive staff deserves

155
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 4: a lot of credit. And he's still a young player.

156
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 4: And I think any player can improve if they're committed

157
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: to improving and becoming a better football player.

158
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: So a lot of it ends up beat.

159
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 4: You have to have the physical traits and astributes, but

160
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: you also have to have the right mindset in order

161
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 4: to improve on a continual basis.

162
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: Well, we now have a four game sample size, so

163
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: with the receivers, let's include all the pass catchers. Is

164
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: this kind of the way you envisioned it going. I know,

165
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 3: not everybody's been available, so that factor is it as well.

166
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: But what have you seen so far that you like? Yeah?

167
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: They similar to the spring. They all have made contributions

168
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: to different points. I think the things that you saw

169
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 4: in spring and training camp, you've seen some of that

170
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 4: manifest itself at different points. And Buddy is kind of different.

171
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 4: They have things that are specific to them that makes

172
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: them unique. Things that some players do well better than others,

173
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: others do it better than the other guys. So there's

174
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 4: we feel we have decent depth at that position. They've

175
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: all played in some capacity at some point, and I'm

176
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 4: sure at some point they're all going to impact the game,

177
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: hopefully favorably, throughout the course of the year.

178
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: Okay, this one's in the review. Let's talking with the

179
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills.

180
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: It's really good teams, so we're probably gonna need a

181
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: little while to talk about this team led by Josh Allen.

182
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: We've seen him a couple of times before.

183
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: We saw him at the beginning of his progression as

184
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: a rookie eighteen. In the playoff game, he saw kind

185
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: of equal parts part rookie, part Okay, this is what

186
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna become. So I'm a twenty one. We started

187
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: to kind of turn the corner right now. Twenty twenty

188
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: four is a bona fide MVP project with the Bills. Nick,

189
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: your thoughts about the Bills and Josh Allen a quarterback, Yeah,

190
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: I think big picture.

191
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 4: Of Bills have one of the best programs in football.

192
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 4: So when I think when you go back and when

193
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 4: Brandon and Sean were hired, they were hired together and

194
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: they've essentially put a program in place that looks like

195
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: is going to be sustainable for a long period of time.

196
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 4: They've been as consistent as any team in the league

197
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: over the last however many years. But when four straight

198
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 4: AFC East Crowns and the way they've constructed the team

199
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: is reflective of how they want to play. I'd say

200
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 4: they're very disciplined, very tough, very complimentary football team. Sean

201
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: has a defensive background. He has his kind of hands

202
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: all over the defense. They've had some changes and the

203
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 4: coordinator front through the years, but you know, they settled

204
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 4: on Joe here, Joe Brady's offensive coordinator, has done a

205
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 4: really good job. But I think just the program is

206
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: reflective of the personalities of the people in charge and

207
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: how they want to play, and then they've drafted and

208
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 4: added players to kind of fit that profile of how

209
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 4: they want to play. Start defensively, and that this goes

210
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 4: back even to you know, my experience in New England.

211
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 4: They're a team defensive that always given up very few

212
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 4: explosive plays. They've given up since Sean has taken over

213
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 4: as head coach, giving up the fewest amount of explosives

214
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 4: in the league. So they play very disciplined. They don't

215
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 4: give a bunch of big plays. They take the ball

216
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: away from you and they play fast. And their system

217
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 4: structure wise, is similar in some respects to our system.

218
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 4: Bobby Babbitch is a defensive coordinator. Bobby's a young coach,

219
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 4: his dad and his you know, long tenured coach, a

220
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 4: coach in the league for a number of years. I mean,

221
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: everything starts with the front, so good front, good length

222
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 4: on the edge at Panessa and Rousseau, good on.

223
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: The edge, you know, two Hill.

224
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: They signed him in the offseason, kind of gives them

225
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: some depth and the smoot who's in Jacksonville kind of

226
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 4: has some front flex. And then inside they got two

227
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 4: really big bodies in Jones and Johnson and then at Oliver,

228
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: you know, Houston grad who's really had a positive impact

229
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 4: on their program. Fits their system really well. They drafted

230
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: Carter to Do kid in the third round this year.

231
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 4: It kind of gives them some depth. So they play

232
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 4: eight to nine guys on a religious basis, similar to

233
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: how we play linebacker. They had to deal with some injuries,

234
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: so Milano's probably one of the best linebackers and lead

235
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: that nobody talks about. And who's been injured Bernard Baylor

236
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 4: kid and they drafted same year he drafted JP. But

237
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: those two, going back to the impact they had in

238
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 4: the Baylot program was significant. And then Bernard played extensively

239
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 4: last year at Ard and forty some odd tackles.

240
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 2: You know, he got hurt earlier in the years. A

241
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: shot he might play against US.

242
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: But Bernard drafted Dorian Williams kid from Tulaane, who we

243
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 4: had in here for a visit. I've gotten good production

244
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 4: from Specter and then the secondary, they've had a deal,

245
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 4: honestly with a lot of stuff injuries at safety. Rap

246
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: got hurt the other night. We'll see if he plays

247
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 4: took Bishop in the second round, kind of a third safety.

248
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 4: But and then Hamlin, everybody knows kind of his story,

249
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 4: what he's been able to overcome and endure in that corner.

250
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 4: They've kind of flipped it a little bit, you know, uh,

251
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 4: moved on from Tradeavius, have Rasul Douglas, who he actually

252
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 4: had in training camp there, and Rasuls been able to

253
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 4: stick around and you know, and they've done a good job.

254
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: And then Benford on the other side, probably one of

255
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 4: the more underrated corners that nobody talked about. I think

256
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: going into the Baltimore game he was amongst the highest

257
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 4: rank like corners pff wys so big, long and fast.

258
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: And then inside in the slot Toron Johnson is probably

259
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: one of the best nickel corners. He got hurt and

260
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 4: they played cam Lewis. So they have a collection of guys. Defensively,

261
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 4: they play with the right mindset and they don't necessarily

262
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: do a lot, but what they do they do it

263
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: really really well. And then kind of flipping over offensively,

264
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 4: everything like you said, it starts with Josh and I

265
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 4: think what you've seen from Josh is just his growth

266
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: and his maturity, and he's playing at a very high level.

267
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 4: He's not turning the ball over, hasn't thrown an interception.

268
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 4: I don't think he did the other night. I know

269
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 4: they Van Oway got a stripsack in the game the

270
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 4: other night. But everything runs through Josh or playing very efficiently,

271
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: very sound, two really good backs. Cook since Brady took

272
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: over as the play caller, has been as efficient and

273
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: productive as a running back, not only running and receiving.

274
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 4: I think he had sixteen hundred yards combined last year.

275
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 4: Drafted Davis in the second round kind of gives him

276
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 4: a one two punch. And at tight end. I mean

277
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: they have two guys. I mean they really talks about Knox,

278
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: but because he's been hurt. But between Knox and kN Kaid,

279
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 4: who put a lot of stress and tax on the defense,

280
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: Kiin Kaid is a matchup problem. I mean, he's big,

281
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 4: he's athletic, he's got really good ball skills, he's smart

282
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: and had to receive position. They have a collection of

283
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 4: players that all kind of compliment one another. I mean,

284
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: a guy that's been the most productive this point is Shakir.

285
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 4: They kind of move him around a formation draft of

286
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 4: Coleman in the second round, Mac Collins mvs. Curtis Samuel,

287
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 4: who Brady had in Carolina. That's kind of a little

288
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 4: bit of a hybrid player. So they use all their

289
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 4: players and in the offensive line to i'd say really

290
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 4: good tackles. Dawkins has been there a little bit longer.

291
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 4: Spencer Brown was a little bit of a developmental player.

292
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 4: Just receive the contract extension here honestly in training camp

293
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: whatever it was, and the inside kind of made some

294
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 4: subtle changes and adjustments. But so this is a good

295
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 4: football team in all three areas, who play very disciplined,

296
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 4: who play complimentary football, don't turn the ball over, and

297
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 4: then really the game the Baltimore game the other the

298
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: other night essentially was a one possession game kind of

299
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 4: flipped on a turnover there.

300
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: There was a little bit of a men going in.

301
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: So we're gonna have to play smart, We're gonna have

302
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 4: to play the right way. It's gonna come down to execution.

303
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 4: It's gonna come down to, honestly, some of these critical

304
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: plays that we talked about not too dissimilar to what

305
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 4: happened in the Jacksonville game.

306
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: Nick you mentioned program, and that's what stands out to me.

307
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: Texans face the Bills in twenty nineteen. If I look

308
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: at the Bills, yeah you see Josh Allen up there,

309
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: but the team is very different. It's so important to

310
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: be able to regenerate the roster because not everybody can

311
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: stay forever, and that's what the goal is, right, So

312
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: you're competitive every year very much.

313
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 4: So you're just trying to put something in place that's

314
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 4: sustainable for a long period of time. Understanding that players

315
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 4: are going to come on and off the roster and

316
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 4: you're gonna have some attrition self inflicted or your choice

317
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: you want to turn into the roster over or you

318
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: have to deal with injuries. So try to build as

319
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 4: much a depth as possible as you possibly can, understand

320
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 4: what you're looking for, what's important, and prioritize those qualities

321
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 4: and astributes. And I would say Brandon and Sean have

322
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: done as good a job as any pair in the league,

323
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 4: which is why they're in a position that they're in

324
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 4: being one of the best teams in the league.

325
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: Nick we talked about this a little bit.

326
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: Every quarterback that we've faced has had some level of mobility.

327
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: You can get out of the pockets. Teams design runs,

328
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: some teams don't. Josh's like them, but not all at

329
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: the same time. How difficult to challenge is he? Because

330
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: when he carries the football, he's like a full back, tailback,

331
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver all combined in one. And yet he might

332
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: be running all the way to the sideline and flip

333
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: on sixty yards because he's done that all the way

334
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: back to this days at Wyoming. How difficult to challenge is

335
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: he with his mobility and his movement.

336
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Josh is a massive problem. So he can throw

337
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: from the pocket, he can get the ball basically any

338
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 4: part of the fields from the pocket, and then he's

339
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 4: a threat as a runner. They have plenty of design

340
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 4: runs for him, critical situations where they want him to

341
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 4: handle the ball. And then the play you allude to

342
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 4: the other night, there's an example of he gets outside

343
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 4: of the pocket, he's running, he's running his running, he's

344
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 4: a millimeter from the sideline and he launches just sixty

345
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: five yards down the field to Shakier who's uncovered. There's

346
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 4: there's not many quarterbacks that can do those things in

347
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 4: this league at as high level as Josh has done.

348
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 4: So that's a credit to him. He's a really good

349
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: football player. He deserves all the praise that he's receiving.

350
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 4: And he's grown and improved as a player. Again not

351
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: saying like Nico Collins, but like you're looking for growth

352
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 4: and improvement and development and players, and Josh is a

353
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: really good example because there was a lot of question

354
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: marks on Josh coming out, but he's squashed all those

355
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 4: questions to put those to rest, and he's a massive

356
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 4: problem and he's a big part of what they're doing

357
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 4: without question.

358
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: All right, So in the game against the Jaguars, your

359
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: defense keeps you in the game, and there was the

360
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: play with Carolyn Bullet hustling downfield. Complimentary football because yeah,

361
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: he's making a big play and then enables the rest

362
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: of the guys to recover and get to the goal line,

363
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: make that big goal line stop offense does enough at

364
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: the end. The guy's ability to stick together and win.

365
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: I mean, every game seems like a hairline between a

366
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: winning a loss in this league. But you've got three

367
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: victories so far, so so far it's working out.

368
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: That's what it takes.

369
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 4: And not to go back to last year and you

370
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 4: go back and look at some of those games a

371
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 4: lot of plays or got games are very similar. I

372
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 4: mean seven or eight came down they were one possession games,

373
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 4: or a number of games that came down to arguably

374
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 4: the last play, the last possession. But I think it

375
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 4: just keeps It speaks to the mindset of the players,

376
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: just to keep pressing forward, understanding you're gonna deal with

377
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 4: some undulations and some ups and downs during the course

378
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 4: of the game. But what happened in the first quarter

379
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 4: and the second quarter isn't germane to what's going on

380
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 4: in the third quarter, and then what happened in the

381
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 4: third quarter. You can't really worry about the fourth quarter.

382
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 4: You just focus on the task at hand. What do

383
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 4: we need to do in this situation. It takes execution,

384
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 4: It takes a certain mindset, and a fourth quarter we

385
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: execute it as a team better than we did in

386
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 4: the third quarter. We got multiple stops, we got the

387
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 4: ball back offensively, we're able to get move the ball

388
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 4: down a field and score points when it mattered, covering

389
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 4: the kick, forcing them on a long field, and then

390
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 4: being able to finish the game.

391
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: So that's football.

392
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 4: You have to play it all the way till the end,

393
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: and you just have to keep going with a correct

394
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: mindset and a certain stick toitiveness too, and then ultimately,

395
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 4: whenever there's zero's on the scoreboard, look up and kind

396
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 4: of see what happens.

397
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: Nick on Sunday, it's repping to H Town. We've got

398
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: cool bud light H Town beer cans. We've got all

399
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff happening. But I'm not going to be drinking.

400
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: There's has nothing to do with that.

401
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 3: But it's just we're going to go shotgun to beer. Yeah,

402
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 3: are you willing to do it on the show. Probably

403
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: we're not gonna do it.

404
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: Maybe off season, but not now. People lose their minds

405
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: if I did that, Yes, they would in a good way.

406
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: Oh.

407
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: By the way, i've seen the mcman dooc or you're

408
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: waiting to watch it? I have not have.

409
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 4: Actually a few people have just unsolicited reached out. I

410
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 4: said that it's worth watching.

411
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm mean get this serious part of my

412
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: question here. It is reping H Town. Mark and I

413
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: have been here for a while. I grew up here,

414
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: Mark out here as soon as you could. You've been

415
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: here for the last four years. So I'll ask you

416
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: this serious question. And we've asked a number of people

417
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: that have been on this up here with us what

418
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: it used to mean to you.

419
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 4: Really, what it's meant to us is kind of a

420
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 4: new beginning and a fresh start and another kind of

421
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 4: phase in our life. I mean my wife and I

422
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 4: I mean we grew up on the Midwest or Midwest

423
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 4: East coast people and then they had the good fortune

424
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 4: of being in one organization for for twenty years, yeah,

425
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: which doesn't happen. So the opportunity in Houston was kind

426
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 4: of a rebirth, if you will, kind of a fresh start,

427
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 4: and it's an opportunity for us to experience something new

428
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 4: as a family.

429
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

430
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 4: So I think when we moved down here in February March,

431
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 4: when I was hired, we all came together and that

432
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 4: was important for us to do because you know, we

433
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 4: do everything or do try to do as much as

434
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 4: possible as a family, and this is part of our lives,

435
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 4: in each other's lives, so to be able to kind

436
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 4: of do it together, So it's kind of the start

437
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 4: of a new beginning. That's I think really what it's

438
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 4: meant what it's meant to us.

439
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: If somebody asks you, what's Houston, Like, Nick, sell me, Houston,

440
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 3: what will you tell them.

441
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: We'll start with the food. Please.

442
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 4: No, it's a lot of fun, it's vibrant, it's crowded,

443
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 4: there's a lot of people, but I think it's a

444
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 4: lot of good people that are invested in not only

445
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 4: the Texans but in sports. And when you're around town,

446
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 4: I mean, you know a number of people that have

447
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 4: come up and just said go Texans, or you know,

448
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 4: we appreciate what you guys are doing. What you know

449
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 4: we were trying to do for the organization, for the city.

450
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 4: It's nice to hear you're not necessarily doing it for

451
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 4: those reasons, but it's just reinforcement that hopefully we're doing

452
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 4: the right things where the fans in the city can

453
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 4: be proud of the team that we're Demiko and the

454
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 4: rest of the staff we're putting together and the product

455
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 4: that we put on on the field, and we're doing

456
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 4: it hopefully with the right people that represent what the

457
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 4: community and what the city of Houston is all about.

458
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: Nick. I know, in the fall, you get out to

459
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: college games and get a chance to see what you

460
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: can wear.

461
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: They're on the road or not, or whatever the case

462
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: might be.

463
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: That's a strange question, but do you stay for the

464
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: whole game, or you get a chance to see the

465
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: things you want. And I bring that up because if

466
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: you had gone to the George Alabama game, which you

467
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: have see the finish because that was incredible game.

468
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 4: It's a great question. I haven't seen a game all

469
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 4: the way to the end. Let's say, typically maybe stay

470
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 4: to halftime or through the third quarter, because some of

471
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 4: it is logistics, because you're trying to get out. Yea, yeah,

472
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 4: there's a massive traffic surge because a lot of times

473
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 4: you're going to another stop, or sometimes it's maybe you

474
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 4: just go for pregame, you know, in and around some

475
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 4: of your other meetings. So it all depends on what

476
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: you're doing next. I'd say probably my approach a little

477
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 4: bit sort of non traditional to some folks, but it's

478
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 4: just really getting down there, just seeing some players, maybe

479
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 4: watching a few plays right and then the chances, unless

480
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: you're just a fan, you stayed to the end. But honestly,

481
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: some of it is just to get out right right

482
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 4: before the massive surge. You know what it's like trying

483
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 4: to leave the parking lot after a home game. Oh god,

484
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 4: think about that with one hundred thousand people on a

485
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 4: couch campus I figured you.

486
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: Hadn't, But I figured if there was a game to

487
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: have stayed till the end, maybe that one. You're not

488
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: even thinking about it because it's thirty three fifteen. You're like, A,

489
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: this one's over, and then Georgia obviously comes back. So

490
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: you made me think of.

491
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: It one more. How important is it?

492
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: And I know it's important to the players to have

493
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 3: the fans there when they're coming out of the tunnel.

494
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: And this is no joke. This is an actual home

495
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 3: field advantage kind of thing. So we need to get

496
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 3: people in the stadium earlier, and the Texans are doing

497
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 3: a lot to make that happen, but it's really crucial

498
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: for the players, right.

499
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, you're just trying to create an environment that's energy,

500
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 4: that's vibrant, that's upbeat, and you're trying to say to

501
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 4: the opponent like this is what you're gonna walk into

502
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 4: and you're gonna have to deal with all of us here.

503
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 4: It's not too disimilar when we go on the road,

504
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 4: like we're gonna have to deal with whatever the elements are.

505
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 4: So whatever support the fans provide, as soon as they

506
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 4: do it, the better for all of.

507
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 2: Us, no question about it. Nick, Thanks a lot, good luck,

508
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: Thanks fellas man.

509
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: Sean Pendergass is gonna be so proud of me that

510
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: I snuck in ad I did Nick see the Mister

511
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: McMahon documentary yet on Netflix?

512
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 2: I knew he hadn't. I knew he had.

513
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: He's been working, but I know he'll catch it at

514
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: some point, but uh, good doc. We'll see how it finishes.

515
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm I think the last two episodes, so we'll see

516
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: how it goes. But either way, I appreciate Nick for

517
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: stopping by. What are Mark and I looking at heading

518
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: into this matchup on sun There's so much tied into

519
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: this game, the the new Helmets, the new Unis Stefan

520
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills, and then just to the better

521
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: teams in the AFC. We'll get into all that and

522
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: what we're looking at next. Right here in Texans All Access.

523
00:21:58,560 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: What's happened?

524
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: Everybody walking back to a Wednesday, Nation of Texans All

525
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: Access from then day Texans Radio Studio. These days are

526
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: flying by, thankfully, so we can get to this Bills

527
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, John Harris alongside Mark vandermir Mark. It,

528
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: I look up and it's Wednesday, and I start thinking

529
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: about this. We play the Jets on Thursday, Man at

530
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: the end of the month, and I'm like, we would

531
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: be leaving for New York today. Yeah, this is It's

532
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: wild because it feels like we just finished that game

533
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: against the Jags. Your thoughts about just your initial thoughts

534
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: about this game coming up Sunday against.

535
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 2: The Bills, just everything that's going into it.

536
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: Digs against his former team, h down htown UNI's helmets

537
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,239
Speaker 1: with the H which we saw practice today, which, by

538
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: the way, when they walked out and I saw the

539
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: helmets with.

540
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: The H, I was like, oh boy, those are cool.

541
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see the full ensemble.

542
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: But just your gut reaction to this one against the

543
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: book against the Bills.

544
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 3: Well, I look at what they've got on defense, and

545
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, you should be able to move the ball.

546
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 3: If you can protect CJ, you should be able to

547
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 3: move the ball against the secondary. I mean, Nick talked

548
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 3: about it, but I look at Rasul Douglass at corner.

549
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 3: You know he starts and no offense to him, Damar Hamlet.

550
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 3: I mean, are these players the Bills of old, the

551
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 3: Bills of three years ago? I don't think so, But

552
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 3: I think They're obviously off to a three one start,

553
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 3: and I know they had problems with Baltimore and they're

554
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: capable of a lot, and I do respect to the program,

555
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: as Nick would say, but I feel like the Texan

556
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 3: should be able to move the ball against this team.

557
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: And by move the ball, I mean put up twenty

558
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 3: four points. Is twenty four points enough Johnny to beat

559
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills on Sunday?

560
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be close. I think it's gonna

561
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: be close.

562
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: I think, like week one, we said, we said you

563
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: had to get to twenty eight, you got to twenty

564
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: nine and then beat the Colt twenty seven.

565
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we might have to up the any right, I think.

566
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: This has to get a twenty seven to twenty eight.

567
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: I think you have to get up in that range.

568
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: I like twenty four points written all over them, that's right.

569
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: And they'll have a few new things, a few new wrinkles,

570
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: I think with Joe Brady as the head coach now,

571
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: I think one of the things you may not see

572
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: as much of are the trick plays because the way

573
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: that one went on Sunday night. Sometimes after that happens

574
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: the first week or two afterwards, you're like no, no, no, no, no,

575
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: no no.

576
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: We got an MVP type quarterback.

577
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: We've got a receiving group, we really like, an offensive

578
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: line that's been together for a little while.

579
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 2: Let's not mess around.

580
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: Let's let's have some wrinkles, but let's not mess around.

581
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: So I do think that you won't see that, but

582
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: I think Joe Brady has found something with this team,

583
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: with this offense, very diverse, lot of screens.

584
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: They like it. I love anybody food my draft suff knows.

585
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: I love Khalil Secure. I thought he was fantastic. I

586
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: had him as top one hundred player. I thought he

587
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: was great, and I thought wherever he went he was

588
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: going to carve out a role for himself.

589
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 2: And now he really has become wide receiver. One night.

590
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: He's banged up a little bit, and that is something

591
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on the Bills at this point

592
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: of the year.

593
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: Everybody's banged up a little bit.

594
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: But Treel Bernard missed a game last week, Front Johnson

595
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: missed last week with the injury.

596
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: Taylor Rapp got injured in the game against Baltimore, and.

597
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: That safety position is one to watch, I think because

598
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: last year's starters were Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer.

599
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: They're both gone, right, So.

600
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: Then they transitioned to Okay, Taylor Rapp and Tomar Hamlin.

601
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: Then Rap gets hurt.

602
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: They drafted Cole Bishop in the second round of Utah,

603
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: who's one of my favorites. So you could see a

604
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: rookie back there with Damar Hamlin. And like you said,

605
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have an opportunity, that might be your opportunity.

606
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: I think Christian Benford, as Nick said, is one of

607
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: the I think he's one of the more underrated players

608
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 1: in the league. I mean, he's just a fantastic player

609
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: over at one spot in Rousseuill Douglas over there. But

610
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: you got to block the front. You gotta block at

611
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: Panessa and Rousseau. And yeah, there's no Vaughan or seemingly

612
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: right now, there's no Vaughn.

613
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 5: Now.

614
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a Gonn appeal coming or

615
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: whatever the case might be, but there is at.

616
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: This point no Vaughn. Now.

617
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: Vonn only played nine snaps against the Ravens, So it

618
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: wasn't as if, you know, I think you had a.

619
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: Pressure, but it wasn't a game. It wasn't a von game.

620
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: It was you were downright, Vaughn is we're playing with

621
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 3: the lead or we desperately leaned the ball back in

622
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: long down and distance.

623
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 2: So there were some Von moments, I get it.

624
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 3: But a Von game would be you've got the lead, okay,

625
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: and and I think that that is going to be

626
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 3: interesting to see how that unfolds when he comes back.

627
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: But when't you want to just get it over with

628
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 3: with the suspension, get it over to get him back

629
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: for the stretch.

630
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: And with he's gonna end up missing.

631
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: I know this game against the Texans, if if there's

632
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 1: no appeal, it's Texans at Jets Monday night. So how

633
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: about that mark they go at Baltimore's Sunday night, right,

634
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: then they come here for a.

635
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon game.

636
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: Then they played Jets at MetLife on Monday night. So

637
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: that's the three road games in a row, two those

638
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: being prime timers. But that's kind of like what we're

639
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: gonna do later in the year.

640
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: It does happen because with the nine games in the

641
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 3: NFC this year, you're gonna have some a lot of

642
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 3: road action obviously, and sometimes you get three in a row. Now,

643
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: good for them that they are getting a little tiny

644
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 3: it's not a buye, but it's an extra day to

645
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 3: get ready for that Monday night or against the Jets,

646
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 3: a really tough divisional game for them. I don't know

647
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 3: what the Jets are going to look like next week.

648
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: Who knows what they look like right now. But the

649
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 3: point is that's always a big game for them, and

650
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: they lost last year to Zach Wilson coming off the bench,

651
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 3: red life on that opening night where Rogers got hurt,

652
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: So they're not going to overlook anything. In fact, for

653
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 3: the Texans, you know, I was hoping they would do

654
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: a little bit better against Baltimore, so maybe we'd catch

655
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 3: him napping. Yeah, of course that's wishful thinking in the NFL. Look,

656
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 3: I just think Dimico talked about it. If they play

657
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 3: their game, they should be okay. They should be able

658
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 3: to be right in it at the end, if not

659
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 3: have the lead and hold on and get a victory

660
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: against the Buffalo Bills. But you could lose this game

661
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 3: and still be a really good team. Because we don't

662
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 3: know how good the Bills really are. The Ravens might

663
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: be coming into form, the Bills had a bad night.

664
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: It's so hard to judge these things.

665
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 3: Johnny when I looked at that game the next day

666
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 3: was on NFL Network and I was watching it, and

667
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: I thought, and I watched the unraveling occur in the

668
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 3: first half, and I thought, this easily could have gotten

669
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 3: the other way. Kind of felt like the Texans and Minnesota.

670
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 3: You just make a mistake here, mistake there. All of

671
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,959
Speaker 3: a sudden, you're down double figures, maybe you know, significantly

672
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 3: into double figures, and it's just not your night, right,

673
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 3: And I think that that happened to them on Sunday

674
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 3: night against the Ravens.

675
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 2: So I don't look past the Bills. You know that

676
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: I'm hearing that the.

677
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: Home field advantage is going to be pretty secure for

678
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 3: this one. And you and I can have Greg Grisamon

679
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: to talk about that, you know, because the Bills mafia,

680
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: they want to travel, they want to travel. Got to

681
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 3: keep them out if you possibly can, ye see.

682
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: How that goes. If you possibly can't, you possibly can.

683
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: Here's one thing I don't think is nobody's talking about guy.

684
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

685
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: Now, Josh Allen is not thrown any interceptions, which that's

686
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: something has been talked about. But overall, the Bills have

687
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: just not turned the ball over. They turned the ball

688
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: over twice. They've had two fumbles lost, and that used

689
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: to be something that.

690
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: Would plague the Bills. You'd have Josh Allen throwing interceptions.

691
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: They have fumbles because you carry the ball and they

692
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: just would cough it up. They've generated seven turnovers on

693
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: the other side of defense, four picks, three fumbles. They're

694
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: plus five in turnover margin plus five through four games.

695
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 3: That's so healthy and that's a huge reason why they're

696
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: three and one. So to all that, the pass rush, Johnny,

697
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: I know the numbers and advanced stats and everything what

698
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: they say about the Texans pass rush, but against Minnesota, yeah,

699
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 3: you sacked Arnold four times, but you really didn't get

700
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: to them the way you needed to. Last week you

701
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: had one sack Eric Murray. They've got to find a

702
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: way to get physical with Josh Allen, one of the

703
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 3: most difficult quarterbacks to do this against. So it's a

704
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 3: tough week when your pass rush. Will hasn't matured where

705
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: you wanted to.

706
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: Yet. Look, it looked good first week.

707
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: You had two sacks by the d tackles and then

708
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 3: you got Will involved a lot in week two and

709
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 3: Will's got two and a half sacks on the year

710
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 3: or week three rather at two and a half sacks

711
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 3: on the year, I just got to see more here

712
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 3: from the pass rush. They have to start feasting, start

713
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 3: living in the backfield and making some noise that way.

714
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: And here's where it gets tough.

715
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: If that were Joe Flacco back there, and we know

716
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: Flacco is a better athlete, but he's.

717
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: A pocket passer. Yeah, and he's.

718
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: Gonna beat He's gonna drop to a spot and that's

719
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: where you're gonna find him.

720
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold moved out of the pocket.

721
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that hurts you because you tried to rush him

722
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: and he was able to step up and out in

723
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: certain cases, like to throw a touch on throy head

724
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: of Jefferson. Thenil got too high and because the Even's

725
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: tackle was kind of getting.

726
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 2: Stalemated, he was able to take that gap and go.

727
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen will embarrass you if you do that kind

728
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: of thing. If you rush one particular way and Josh

729
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: has a seam and he takes off, he's the best round.

730
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: Look I know, James Cook. I understand James Cook is

731
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: a really good running back in this league. Josh Allen's

732
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: the best ball carrier on the Bills. Sure, he's the

733
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: best ball carriers. Factors big into the running.

734
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: I mean, feelhim either the first or second best rusher

735
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: on the team.

736
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: And so you have to minimize his opportunity to escape.

737
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: But you can't be soft about it.

738
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that Texas happened, but I think

739
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: a lot of times guys won't rush nearly as hard

740
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: because they feel like, well, we're just gonna have to

741
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: kind of inch after him. It's like, no, take your rushes,

742
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: but just be smart about it. Don't let the tackle

743
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: direct you upfield. Stay where If Josh has to escape,

744
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: he's escaping out, you know, up and out as opposed

745
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: to up in the pocket and out. You got to

746
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: get him around the outside and that will give the

747
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: time to get there. Yeah, but it takes a disciplined

748
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: pass rush to get to Josh Allen and get him

749
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: to the ground.

750
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: And that's the biggest thing to me, is getting him

751
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 2: to the ground.

752
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: He's so darn big, and because he's got such a

753
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: strong arm, he gets to a point where there are

754
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: guys pulling him down, he still can get rid of

755
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: the football and get it out of the pocket and

756
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: get it out of the get out of his hands

757
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: and save sack yardage because he's so darn strong.

758
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: So that that worries me.

759
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: Now, the last time Josh was in an Argy stadium

760
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: five years ago.

761
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: But man, he turned into Wyoming Josh and it was awesome.

762
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: It was great.

763
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: First half was like whoa, I don't know that we

764
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: could stop this guy. Second half, Wyoming Josh showed up

765
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: and he's flipping the ball behind his head.

766
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 2: He was throwing the.

767
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 1: Ball five yards away from his nearest receiver and it

768
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: was a total mess and the Texans were able to

769
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: get back in the game.

770
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 6: For that.

771
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: I think those days, unfortunately are gone.

772
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: And that's what worries me, that those scrambles, not being

773
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: able to get him down line was stretched out for

774
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: first downs, and then that Joe Brady passing game that

775
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: have given him some options I worry about. I worry

776
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: about that. So this might end up. Man, you might

777
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: need onupwards of thirty one to win this one.

778
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. The more I think about.

779
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 3: It, Listen, this is a golden opportunity to prove your

780
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 3: metal in the AFC.

781
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: Good point.

782
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 3: This is an AFC supremacy kind of game. I know

783
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 3: the Chiefs are the Chiefs. They have the best record.

784
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: I get it. But if you beat the Bills on Sunday,

785
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 3: they're gonna start talking about you in a way that

786
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 3: you really, I guess want at this point all those

787
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: parts of me, parts of me doesn't want it yet.

788
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: Wait, wait till down the stretch.

789
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 3: But you know what, if you're going to be a

790
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: good team, Look, the Bills are a good team again.

791
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: Nick talked about the program. What are the Bills? Every year?

792
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 3: They're contenders? They are a Super Bowl contender. They might

793
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 3: not get there, they don't get there, but they're in

794
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 3: the mix, they're in the conversation. They got a shot

795
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 3: at getting there. And that's what you want. That's what

796
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 3: you are right now. And you've got to prove that

797
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 3: when they come into your building. You're not having it.

798
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: You're not having any kind of chance for them to win.

799
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 3: You got to take care of it. And I think

800
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 3: the guys are going to be sky high for this

801
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 3: one last week. I'm not saying they weren't sky high,

802
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 3: but division game, you knew the Jags would give me

803
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 3: everything they had. And there's human nature too, because ah,

804
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 3: the Jags were zwing three at the time, and are

805
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 3: they really that good? Right, Well, you know the Bills

806
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 3: are good. Everybody's everybody's attention is fully locked in on this,

807
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 3: and I think that the players, it's up to the

808
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: The coaches will have their game plan and everything and

809
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 3: Demiko say all the right things. The players got to

810
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 3: take it upon themselves to get it done.

811
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: On Sunday in the AFC, Bill's Chiefs paying attention, right,

812
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs Ravens. Everybody's paying attention, Bill's Ravens. Like last week,

813
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: everybody's paying attention. This has got to be one of

814
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: those games in which you're now in that AFC conversation.

815
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: So Texans Chiefs, Texans Ravens, Texans Bills become that game,

816
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: the biggest game in AFC that week. And so they

817
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: played one last week and they realized they didn't. You're

818
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: up to the Ravens at least on that week. They didn't.

819
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: Let's hope they come here, don't measure up with us either.

820
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 3: I think that they can measure up to the Ravens

821
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 3: on a given Sunday. I think, especially in their building

822
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 3: that one just got away from with Henry early. It

823
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 3: was a rough one. Yeah, you look, who's not used

824
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 3: to facing Derek Henry as much as we are right

825
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 3: the text you had Derrick Henry America's most wanted posters

826
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 3: all up and down the hallway. Figuratively speaking, we all

827
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 3: know about Derek Henry and what he's done to this team.

828
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 3: We all know about Jonathan Taylor. Well, the last time

829
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 3: they faced Taylor, they did a good job. The last

830
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 3: two times they faced Henry, they did a great job,

831
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 3: a historically great job.

832
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: In the game. Up there are in the oiler wearing.

833
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 3: Oiler uniform, wearing Tennessee Titans against them. So to me,

834
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 3: this is that kind of AFC juggernaut game that you

835
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 3: look for. You want to be one of those juggernaut teams.

836
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 3: This is your chance to prove it.

837
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 2: At least in the early going.

838
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 3: You'll have to back it up again and again and

839
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 3: again because the following week you're gonna be on the

840
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: road and add New England, right, and then there you

841
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 3: have a team you've never beaten on the road to

842
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 3: deal with that problem when you get there. You mentioned

843
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 3: the Jets game. You have so many games this year

844
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 3: where you're gonna be the focal point in the nation.

845
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 3: And even though this is a nooner on CBS on Sunday,

846
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 3: a lot of eyes are on this one. A lot

847
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 3: of people are paying attention to what occurs here at

848
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 3: the NRCHIE Stadium.

849
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: I think there are a couple of things that work

850
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: for you know, I wrote about this and know your foe,

851
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: which will hopefully be up at Houston Texas dot comun

852
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: tonight or tomorrow. You've got you've got nationalized in this game. Hell,

853
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo News sent Ronald Hollarand to Houston.

854
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he could be. It is a reporter, is

855
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: a lead story and advance reporter.

856
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: And of course nobody's asking about stuff on Diggs because

857
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: all those questions have been asked, but the question he

858
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: wants to know obviously.

859
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 2: Because he's been in Buffalo. Hey, stuff on Diggs? You

860
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 2: know that.

861
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be national attention, Uh, you know for that,

862
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: I think to your point, I think there's gonna be

863
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: national attention to Okay, which one of these teams is

864
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: for real? No, both of them may be for real

865
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: down the road, but which one is for real? Because

866
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: the loser goes to three and two, winner goes to

867
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: four and one, and I it's the Bills, then the

868
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: Bills will have lost two in a row to two

869
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: of the AFC powers. If the Texans lose, then well

870
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: they're just not ready to be in that class with

871
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: the Bills, that chiefs the Ravens, and you know, so

872
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: that's going to have some national appeal to people to

873
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: want to see which of those, which of those.

874
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 2: Is true measuring stick kind of games.

875
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 3: Yes, and if the Texans lose this game, you have

876
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: plenty of opportunities to prove yourself as the season goes on.

877
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: There's no shame in it.

878
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 3: But if you're gonna lose, don't lose shamefully, there's no

879
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 3: shame in it.

880
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: Don't lose.

881
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 3: And if you're win, I mean, no one is going

882
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 3: to No one's throwing a parade at four and one either.

883
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: You know, you gotta take care of your business. But

884
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 3: it's just seventeen games. It's a week to week thing.

885
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: We always say it. But there's something special about this one.

886
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 3: And the h Town uniforms that's special too, But there's

887
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 3: something special about facing the Buffalo Bills this Sunday, early season.

888
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: Prove it game. Yeah, prove it game, That's that's exactly

889
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: what this is. But I'm telling you we we won't

890
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: have to practice today and the guys turn the corner

891
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: and you hear the music.

892
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: Okay, they're they going to the bubble.

893
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: They do a few things in the bubble over the

894
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: Houston Methodis Training Center. Then they come out of the

895
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: bubble and they go to their activation stretching basically, And

896
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: I just see the first texting around the corner. I

897
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: don't know who it is, and they're wearing the new

898
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,720
Speaker 1: helmet and I see that thing and I'm.

899
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: Like, oh boy, here we go.

900
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: It looks fantastic now, you know me and all the

901
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: things that popped up about the new uniforms, you know what,

902
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 1: I said, like, Okay, I need to see him whatever,

903
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: let's move on.

904
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: I saw that helmet. Yeah, that looks sure.

905
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 3: This is the kind of Sunday where I'm gonna tape everything,

906
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 3: you know, DVR everything.

907
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, because I want to hear.

908
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 3: What people say about it, Like Chris Rose on a

909
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 3: Sunday Night show recap show, Chris Berman, all the halftime guys.

910
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 3: I want to know what they're saying about the uniform

911
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 3: because they're gonna make a comment. Yes, you know, it's

912
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 3: so different from everything else in the league and anything

913
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 3: else you've seen in Houston. Obviously, it's so different and new,

914
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 3: and I think it's.

915
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: Definitely gonna get a good reaction. Yeah, I think so too.

916
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: And Drew made a good point. You'll hear this in

917
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:23,959
Speaker 2: the lab a little bit later.

918
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: But what you might not be able to see just

919
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: when you see the helmet up close, but if the

920
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: light hits the helmet at the right angle, you'll see

921
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: flex a battle red in the helmet in.

922
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 2: The helmet, yeah, which I think is super cool. And

923
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: I notice close ups on TV.

924
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you get some of the close ups, you'll

925
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: be able to see it. And I didn't see it

926
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: when I first saw the helmet and somebody told me

927
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 1: about it.

928
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 2: I was like really, And I went back and looked

929
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: at us. Oh, I like that.

930
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: I think it's really cool. So it's gonna be super

931
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: cool to see them come out. You'll have the Bullhead

932
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: logo on the back, the new Bullhead logo on the

933
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: back with the A on each side, and it's gonna

934
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: look freaking awesome. When I was on Today in Buffalo WGR,

935
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: I was talking about this game and how much you

936
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: know emotion there's gonna be there, and I started going

937
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: through the reasons and I was like, yeah, we're doing

938
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: We're wearing the new h Town unis and we're wearing

939
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 1: a helmet without the Bullhead logo for the first time,

940
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: featuring the Bullhead logo for the first time.

941
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: And then I hear both of them go oh, yeah,

942
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 2: yo wearing those.

943
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: Jerseys, and I was like yeah, and They're like, oh,

944
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna look pretty cool, and I'm like, hell, yeah,

945
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna look cool. So you gotta hope to look cool,

946
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: play cool. N't go wearing the letter jackets and then

947
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: get beat forty one the tour.

948
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: But this is not invoke the Letterman jacket.

949
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 3: We have I know we have definitely removed that curse

950
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 3: because look, I was wearing the htown jacket in studio.

951
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, more than once.

952
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 3: We did it in the offseas, yes, yes, yes, and

953
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 3: I did it this week with Demiko.

954
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: Right, we're three one.

955
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 3: And we're selling those things like hotcakes and nobody's losing.

956
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.

957
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 3: Not perfect, but you've had a winning team last year,

958
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 3: winning team so far this year. Everything's fine. It's more

959
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 3: Houston Texans Greece. You look more like Danny Zuko.

960
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of kind of the way it looks,

961
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: which is cool though, the big old logo on the

962
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: back me it's I like it better than that.

963
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 2: I can't get it now because you already have it,

964
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: so I can't you you gave it Danny Zuko reference,

965
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 2: I did Danny Zuko. That is that dated? No, it's

966
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: pretty good. No, he's pretty live.

967
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 3: Because Greece has so much shelf life. Yeah, Greece is

968
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 3: like the Friends of movies. It's been shown so many times. Yeah,

969
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 3: you know what's forgotten Greece too.

970
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 6: Okay.

971
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,320

982
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: Now who will we potentially not see on Sunday. We

983
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: don't know exactly, but the injury report gives a few

984
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: clues of guys we need to be watching. We'll go

985
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: through that next right here in Texans All Access seven.

986
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: Everybody walking back to Wednesday. This should Texans All Access

987
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: from the Hyundai Texans Radio studio. I am your host,

988
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: John Harris Football on a sideline reporter and as promised,

989
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: the injury report is out. Now there's some things to

990
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: take a look at in this injury report that are

991
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: absolutely awesome.

992
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: And they pop up in the injury report.

993
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if they were gonna show up here,

994
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: but two things, and it bears repeating as it pertains

995
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: to these two things because these two particular players have

996
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: been on One was on NFI, one was on IR

997
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: designated return. Now it doesn't mean that they are that

998
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: they are absolutely without question on back on the roster,

999
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: but they at least can practic and then they've got

1000
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: a twenty one day window for the Texans to be

1001
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: able to side. And that would be Kurt Heinisch, who

1002
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: injured his CAF in training camp. He was a full

1003
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: participant in practice today as was in this news.

1004
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 2: Is absolutely freaking awesome.

1005
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: Dylan Horton had leukemia in March we found out he

1006
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: had beaten it.

1007
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 2: He has been working out.

1008
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, every single day I've seen that man

1009
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 1: drenched in sweat working out to get to this point.

1010
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 2: He was a full.

1011
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: Participant in practice today again because of the NFI Injured

1012
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: Reserve rules all that, they've got a twenty one day

1013
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: window to which they can activate those two. Now we'll

1014
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: see what they end up doing with Kurt Heidis from

1015
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: Dylan Horton, it may just be practice this week, activate next,

1016
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: practice for a couple weeks. Activate after that, activate this week.

1017
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: We'll we'll find out how that goes. But Kurt Heinisch

1018
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: and Dylan Horton full participants today. Practice. Now your DMPs

1019
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 1: today to running backs again, Joe mixing Damian Pierce.

1020
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 2: We saw Joe practice last Friday.

1021
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: Don't know if there was a setback or anything, but

1022
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: I just know that Joe didn't practice today. Damien was

1023
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: out there, no helmet. Did they have his shorts in

1024
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: jersey on deal with that hamstring issue. Laramie Tunsel did

1025
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: not practice today. He went out of the game last

1026
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: week against the Jaguars an ankle. He pulled out un

1027
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: like a pinn and Poll play to the left and

1028
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 1: he kind of tweaked his ankle on the way out there,

1029
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: and so his ankle was the reason for not participating today.

1030
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: And Derek Barnett, I hate seeing that deal with his shoulder.

1031
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: He didn't participate. Limited participants.

1032
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 2: Oh this is good news.

1033
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: Tank Dell back in a limited capacity. So was Jimmy

1034
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: Ward in a limited capacity. Tank deal with a chest issue.

1035
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward with a groin, also limited participants, Jake Hansen

1036
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: with a back, Jerry Hughes with a hip, and j

1037
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: Scruggs also dealing with a hit. Juice been dealing with

1038
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: that groin as well. But they were all limited participants

1039
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: at practice today. So that's what you've got on the

1040
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: Texas side of it. Now, the Bill's side of this,

1041
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: it's it's been tough.

1042
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 2: Now.

1043
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: My buddy Salacopaccio tweeted this. He's a sidelent, the reporter

1044
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: for the Bills. He mentioned that during the game against

1045
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens that Dion Dawkins, the left tackle, really good

1046
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 1: left tackle for the Bills, was getting his hamstring worked

1047
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: on pretty much all night. Well, he did not participate

1048
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: today because that hamstring. Also did not participate. Austin Johnson oblique.

1049
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 1: Taylor Rapp had a concussion in that game against the Ravens,

1050
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: so he's in the concussion protocol. He did not participate,

1051
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 1: and number one wide receiver Khalil Shakuir injured his ankle

1052
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 1: against the Ravens.

1053
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: He was a DMP.

1054
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: That was definitely one to keep an eye on because

1055
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 1: that that guy has become the hard soul that receiving

1056
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: group and good player. Did not participate today. Limited participants

1057
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: throughout Bernard. Good to see him back. The former Baylor

1058
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 1: Bear Toront Johnson, I think one of the better nickels.

1059
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: You're nick say that earlier is one of the better

1060
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: nickels in the league, if not the best. A big contract.

1061
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: He was back in a limited participant with Gill of

1062
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: the forearm. Josh Allen's had a left hand issue. He's

1063
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: been wearing a glove in practice. And then you've got

1064
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: Quintin Morris, Mitchell Trubisky. Both of those those three, the

1065
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks Josh Allen, Mitchell Trubisky, and Quintin Morris, were

1066
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: for full participants today at practice. On Wednesday, Big Day tomorrow,

1067
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: Texas are typically in full pads on Thursday, so we'll

1068
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: have that injury report for you then, But that great

1069
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: news of Dylan Horton being back at practice today was

1070
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: just freaking awesome.

1071
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I was so.

1072
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: Pumped when I saw that news, and then to see

1073
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: him out there after all the work I know he's

1074
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: been putting in, man, was so so good.

1075
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 2: Now.

1076
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would expect him to be

1077
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: on the roster by the end of the weekend, but

1078
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: at this point I don't think it matters. I think

1079
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: he'll get back on the roster before the twenty one

1080
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: days are up.

1081
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: But look, we don't know the plan for Dylan.

1082
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: We just know that he's got this practice time to

1083
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: kind of be able to kind of work back into

1084
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: the fold and see what he's got to of the

1085
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: defensive ends. Derrek Burnett Jerry Hugheser on the injury report.

1089
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: week might be a little tough maybe for Kurt Heiness,

1090
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,640

00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 7: Well, it's going to be a great Sunday afternoon here

1136
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,880

1137
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 7: This game we started last year, but I think this year,

1138
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 7: with the new uniforms, wearing our H Town uniforms for

1139
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 7: the first time against an amazing opponent like the Bills,

1140
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 7: it's going to be a great Sunday afternoon.

1141
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 2: Have you imagined? I know I have.

1142
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: When I we had our first interview, it was actually

1143
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: Nico Collins the night that they were shooting all the

1144
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: videos and we were up there and Nico was wearing

1145
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: the uniform and I saw on it, Man, that's really cool.

1146
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: And now envisioning it on an entire team and the

1147
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: new helmet, it's the first time I no, correct me

1148
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, but it's the first time they were

1149
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: something other than the bullhead logo correct on the helmet,

1150
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: that is correct. That I'm almost as excited about. But

1151
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: if you imagine what's gonna look like a full team

1152
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 1: wearing an outfit.

1153
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 7: I've imagined it. But it's going to be better than that. Yeah,

1154
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 7: And I know all the players are excited. And you

1155
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 7: know the new h logo, the H Town logo that

1156
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 7: we introduced that will be worn on the helmet for

1157
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 7: the first time this Sunday. Our fans love it, you know,

1158
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 7: it's the number one selling hat item. We can't keep

1159
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 7: them in stock. And these jerseys themselves, and the whole

1160
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 7: uniform having a little H town blue flavor on it.

1161
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 7: It's going to be really exciting to see it all

1162
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 7: come together. We're going to do unique field wall wraps,

1163
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 7: the end zones will be decorated up.

1164
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 2: It's going to be a great day.

1165
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 3: All right, Let's talk about the H for a moment

1166
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 3: because there's a lot of significance here and the Texans

1167
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 3: have always represented Houston and the state and everything, but

1168
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 3: this is really this is the H. This is a

1169
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 3: real singular letter, H Town Houston. Can you discuss that

1170
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 3: part of it?

1171
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 7: Well, I mean it falls into everything that we've talked

1172
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 7: about over the last couple of years, which is really

1173
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 7: we want to We were listening to our fans and

1174
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 7: what they were really asking us to be is reflect

1175
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 7: the city of Houston and all that you do. And

1176
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 7: we just felt like it was an opportunity Doug Vasik

1177
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 7: and his team and as we were kind of putting

1178
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 7: all the creative together around the uniforms to introduce an

1179
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 7: H and there's a little bit you know, most NFL

1180
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 7: teams don't have their city represented in their primary logo.

1181
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 7: We didn't either, and so we thought, what a great

1182
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 7: way to create a secondary logo that would really represent

1183
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 7: the city of Houston. Similar like our friend, you know,

1184
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 7: our friends the Astros have their h Chat. We love that,

1185
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 7: but you know, we wanted to give our fans something

1186
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,280
Speaker 7: else connected to the Texans that they could relate directly

1187
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 7: to the city of Houston. And it's been amazing so far.

1188
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,959
Speaker 1: Greg for it's been amazing since being in the billion

1189
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,279

1239
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 7: but wherever you might find beer, uh, you know, you

1240
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 7: can hopefully find But they're going to go fast and

1241
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 7: uh the limited edition.

1242
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 3: Johnny mentioned seeing the H Town uniforms for the first time,

1243
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 3: so we're all looking forward to that. So we saw

1244
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 3: deep steel blue, we've seen the Liberty white. We saw

1245
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 3: it in the preseason, of course, but what what do

1246
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 3: you think it's so far now that.

1247
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 2: We've seen it work out.

1248
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 3: In games and you're winning games in these new unis,

1249
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 3: it's really a special thing.

1250
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 7: It's it's it's so much fun to see and it's

1251
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 7: I was actually with our equipment manager, Darren Beechaman and

1252
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 7: who and his team just do an unbelievable job taking

1253
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 7: care of our players and then making sure we we

1254
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 7: look good out on the field, and just talking to

1255
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 7: him about the players feedback and they're you know, they

1256
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 7: all have their own favorites and everything's growing on them.

1257
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 7: But but and I think, you know, our each time

1258
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 7: of uniforms this this week, it's just gonna be so

1259
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 7: much fun. So it's so much fun just to see

1260
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 7: it come alive. I mean, I think back to the

1261
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 7: Hall of Fame game. It's like the first time we

1262
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 7: all saw it on the fields, Like it's real out

1263
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 7: on the field, and and so and you know we've

1264
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 7: got this uniform and then our battle red uniform to

1265
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 7: come against the Lions here here in a few weeks.

1266
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be fun.

1267
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 3: I know that we're really focused on everybody getting your

1268
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 3: seat for the player introductions, right, be there for that.

1269
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 2: It really pumps up the team.

1270
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 3: It has a home field advantage edge, it's it's palpable, right,

1271
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,760
Speaker 3: So there are other elements there.

1272
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 2: I hear in the PA system one hour Togo.

1273
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 3: That's right, get ready and outside, I know we're doing

1274
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 3: things as well, correct, I.

1275
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 7: Mean, we really in partnership. You know, our players, they're

1276
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 7: doing a lot of great work. And our fan base,

1277
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 7: you know, has been always so supportive. But one of

1278
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 7: the things that we think we can do better is

1279
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 7: is is get our fans in the building earlier.

1280
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 2: And you know, we're working on all.

1281
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 7: The hindrances, so traffic, ticket scanning, gates, all those things,

1282
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 7: trying to make those as smooth as we possibly can.

1283
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 7: And then we're also trying to educate and remind our

1284
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 7: fans that being in early matters, right, And we've kind

1285
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 7: of used it's about proximately ten minutes before kickoff when

1286
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 7: team intros come out. We want the stadium full when

1287
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 7: our when our team runs out of the tunnel, and

1288
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 7: they provide that energy and juice from the get go.

1289
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 2: And and so we're.

1290
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 7: Doing fireworks an hour before team intros off the roofs

1291
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 7: just to remind fans another thirty minutes before team intros

1292
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 7: and really want people just to it's just as simple

1293
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,439
Speaker 7: as whatever your process to come to a game, move

1294
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 7: it up thirty minutes and and you'll you'll accomplish everything

1295
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 7: and we'll be in a great place. And then you know,

1296
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 7: another thing that we're focused on is we really want

1297
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,399
Speaker 7: our fan base, you know, this to be a home

1298
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 7: field advantage all the time. And so for example, the

1299
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 7: Bills come into town, they're notorious to travel. Well I

1300
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 7: think it, Yeah, the Bill's mafia, you know, and uh,

1301
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 7: in Miami a couple of weeks ago, it was estimated

1302
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 7: they had forty four percent of the crowd at that

1303
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 7: game in Miami. And and you know, we don't want

1304
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 7: that to happen here in Houston. So you know, if

1305
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 7: if your fans are out there making a decision, do

1306
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 7: I ford my tickets to a Bills fan?

1307
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 2: Don't?

1308
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 7: Or or you know, if I if I was trying

1309
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 7: to sell them or something like that, maybe this is

1310
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,919
Speaker 7: a game you use the tickets, come and enjoy joy

1311
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 7: the game and you know, really create that home field

1312
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 7: advantage that we all want. And it's as special when

1313
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 7: we're all a part of it, and.

1314
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 1: Show your houstonness. This is that day, your houstonness. Yeah,

1315
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, and along those lines, Greg, this is a

1316
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: question that Mark asked Demker, and I think it's probably

1317
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: a good question to ask right now, because when we

1318
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: think about repping Houston, we think about how great Houston is.

1319
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: And I think maybe sometimes for those of us that

1320
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: have litered for long time stubs, that we take it

1321
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 1: for granted. But it's at home. Well, what makes Houston

1322
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: special in your estimation? Well, I think it was so

1323
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: much fun last week at International Day. What makes Houston

1324
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: great to me is just it's it's a it's a

1325
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: melting pot of everything, and we tried our best to

1326
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: represent all different cultures. But it's it's a place of

1327
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: opportunity and where you can come and be be anything,

1328
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: and it's a place that welcomes and encourages diverse thinking,

1329
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: diverse thought, and and so to me, it's those the

1330
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: kind of opportunity with diversity mixed together is what makes

1331
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: Houston great.

1332
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 2: And then you know, the food's pretty good. Yeah. Uh,

1333
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 2: you know that's that never hurts. I'll tell you the

1334
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 2: food is good. True. Yeah, I'm I'm a I'm living proof.

1335
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 3: So football question three and one start, what do you

1336
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 3: think pretty good?

1337
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 2: Huh?

1338
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 7: I'm just it's so much fun, you know, to watch

1339
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 7: the effort of our players and you know, and all

1340
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,480

1343
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 7: just the effort, the commitment that they have and to

1344
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 7: see that payoff on the field. And I can't wait

1345
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 7: to see what's next, you know. I think Demko's just

1346
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 7: talking about how we're finding ways to win, and so

1347
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 7: it's a lot of fun. The energy in the building's

00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 2: And I went in to the drive through, and I

1378
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:44,320

1402
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: Waterburg eighty nine just asked for Shay, and Shae was

1403
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: nice enough.

1404
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 2: She gave me one of the little Waburger.

1405
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: Tents with the number fifty on one side and he

1406
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: Texas logo on the other. Very very sweet. That will

1407
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: be with me for a very long time. That's very cool.

1408
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: I've always wanted one of the Waburger tents and I

1409
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: just wasn't gonna steal it.

1410
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna do that. I don't want to do that.

1411
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: But I got this one because I gave my money

1412
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: on Hunger Action month over at Waburger.

1413
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:21,919
Speaker 2: So you do the same.

1414
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: Okay. Talk to our buddy new friend, Kaylin Bullock. I

1415
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with him after the

1416
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: Colts game. He was I play of the game with

1417
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: that interception. We had a blast talking to the young

1418
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: man from Pasadena, California.

1419
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 2: Not in Los Angeles.

1420
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: He likes Los Angeles, but he's from Pasadena, so we

1421
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: had to be corrected on that. Here's Kylen Bullock with

1422
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: me and Mark.

1423
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 2: Joining us in studio.

1424
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 3: It's Klin Bullock from your Houston Texans safety.

1425
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 2: How's it going, Carolyn? Going good?

1426
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 6: How about you?

1427
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 2: We're doing great.

1428
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 3: And we enjoyed watching you on Sunday and look forward

1429
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 3: to this Sunday.

1430
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 2: Well, let's discuss the play.

1431
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,439
Speaker 3: First of all, the play everybody's talking about the run

1432
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 3: down and you make the stop inside the five. That

1433
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 3: was huge eventually a goal line. Stand what's going through

1434
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 3: your head when you see him take off?

1435
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 8: See him take off? I just know I'm the last

1436
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 8: guy on the defense. I know I'm safety. I'm back.

1437
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 8: So we got to swarm to the ball. That's what

1438
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 8: we preach every day, swarm. And I know I had

1439
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 8: to go get him down because it was a key

1440
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 8: moment in the game. So you just had to try

1441
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 8: to take a good angle and just try to either

1442
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:25,439
Speaker 8: get him out of bounce or get him down.

1443
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 6: I did it.

1444
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: So when you get him, okay, they're down by the

1445
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: four yard line, Okay, but you don't defense doesn't get

1446
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: their heads downe they get to stop.

1447
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 2: Did you realize at that point, oh bro, I save

1448
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 2: seven points.

1449
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: Did you realize that at that point or you just

1450
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:39,919
Speaker 1: kind in the flow of the game and didn't realize

1451
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: until maybe later.

1452
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 8: And now realize that, Like after that drive, we always

1453
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 8: tease just you know, give us a blade of grass

1454
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 8: to defend, and I gave us a blade of grass

1455
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 8: to defend, and our defense went out there and we

1456
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 8: stopped them on a goal line.

1457
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 3: All right, game number one, you get a pick in

1458
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 3: your first ever NFL game. Were you surprised? What was

1459
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 3: your reaction to getting an interception? The most important thing

1460
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 3: is you won the game. But what about that part

1461
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 3: of it?

1462
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 8: Uh, Well, in the moment once I caught the ball,

1463
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 8: I was just thinking about go score. I was trying

1464
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 8: to get up and go run the ball. But once

1465
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 8: I once the play was over, I was just happy. Uh,

1466
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:19,439
Speaker 8: celebrating with my teammates. My DB's Jelen Petree may show.

1467
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 8: I kept the ball. He grabbed the ball from me

1468
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 8: and made sure I celebrated. It was just a proud

1469
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 8: moment of mine. I was happy.

1470
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: You can't make the rookie mistake letting the ball go. Yeah,

1471
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: you've seen that happen way too. So Week two, you

1472
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: see your guy was like facing a guy that you

1473
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: faced in practice for a couple of years.

1474
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 2: What was that like?

1475
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 8: It was fun just going against him, you know, Kapeene.

1476
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 8: Like you said, going against him in practice, I couldn't

1477
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 8: be able to touch him. Yeah, of course I could touch.

1478
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 8: I can hit you. I can talk as much child

1479
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 8: as I want to him. But it was it was

1480
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 8: a very competitive game, and I know what he was

1481
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 8: gonna bring to the table and I tried to get

1482
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 8: him on one play and I got a pi. I

1483
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 8: was too fast to the ball and he We was

1484
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 8: just joking, joking after the game.

1485
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 6: It was fun going out there play against.

Speaker 3: I see you guys practicing out there, Coach Steven Attagoke

1487
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,960

1488
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:11,919
Speaker 3: What's it like being in the room being around those

1489
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:13,120

Speaker 1: so this is really your first time away from home.

1499
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: What's it been like and what's Uston been like for you?

1500
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 8: Houston's been good, especially well I grew up pass being

1501
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 8: in California. Yeah, yeah, so, but Houston, it's been good

1502
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 8: being away from family. I think I adjusted pretty well. Yeah,

1503
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 8: you know, I'm a I'm in a big city. I'm

1504
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 8: also like La was like I was in college. I'm

1505
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 8: not nowhere where it's is. You know, it's a small town.

1506
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 8: I'm kind of used to it. I thought gonna be homesick,

1507
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 8: but I'm not homesick at all. And like I said,

1508
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 8: I got great guys around me who who makes sure

1509
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 8: I'm good. They check up on me, and you know,

1510
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 8: we just keep each other going.

1511
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 2: How is l A different from Houston?

1512
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: I know that's kind of a strange question, but because

1513
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: you've known l A your entire life, yes you have

1514
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 1: invented for a short amount of time.

1515
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 2: But how are they different?

1516
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 8: I think La is more a fast paced like everybody

1517
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 8: is just you know, it seemed like everybody's in a

1518
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 8: rush to get somewhere. Traffic out there is crazy. Traffic

1519
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 8: is is bad out here too, but it's not as

1520
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 8: bad as Lay.

1521
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 6: But Houston. I was pretty saying it's it's pretty.

1522
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 8: It's more chill, and you know, everybody here is I

1523
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 8: would say probably like they they you like. It's kind

1524
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 8: of weird when you out in La, people don't stop

1525
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 8: and tall Houston you're gonna get you might stop and

1526
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 8: Tall you walk in, somebody's gonna stop and talk people

1527
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 8: like it's you know, yeah.

1528
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 2: Calling Bullock with us.

1529
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 3: Wait, I want to get something straight because when Johnny

1530
01:05:55,680 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 3: said La, you're like Pasadena so different Pasadena La. It's

1531
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 3: not an acceptable thing? Or how do you how do

1532
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 3: you categorize that?

1533
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 8: We just I think it's just different. Uh Pasidiena in La. Uh,

1534
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 8: Pasiden is way more chill than La. Like yeah, somebody

1535
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 8: from outside looking at it's more chill. Uh, it's not

1536
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 8: as a lot more like LA is bigger. Of course,

1537
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 8: it's a lot more doing La. Pasdena is like when

1538
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 8: I retire live in Pasiva, I wouldn't want to live

1539
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 8: in La.

1540
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 1: Like, Okay, did you grow up wanting to be a Trojan?

1541
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: Did you always want to go to USC? What were

1542
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: you thinking about you're going on to college? Was it

1543
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 1: always I'm going to USC no matter what? Uh?

1544
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 8: Now, I wasn't always I was going to USC no

1545
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 8: matter what, especially come out of high school.

1546
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 6: But as a kid I wanted to go to USC.

1547
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:41,479
Speaker 6: It was a dream.

1548
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,959
Speaker 8: But you know, high school, you gotta pick the best

1549
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 8: decision for you to go play. And once I knew

1550
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 8: when I got the SC offer, I felt really good,

1551
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 8: Like I said, being being a SoCal kid and knowing

1552
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 8: the history at USC and then the coaching staff there

1553
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 8: that was there, and I knew the opportunity I would

1554
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 8: be provided, So it was no brainding for me to

1555
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:02,959
Speaker 8: go to USC.

1556
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 2: All right.

1557
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 3: So I watched we did a feature on you, my Story,

1558
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 3: My Game. I watched this and I saw the highlights

1559
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 3: of you pre high school. I mean, there's some outstanding

1560
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 3: stuff there and you're just mossing everybody both both sides

1561
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 3: of the ball, really defense had offense. That must have

1562
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 3: been fun to play as a kid and then move

1563
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 3: up to high school because you still have that advantage

1564
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 3: in the high school in a way.

1565
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was really fun playing both sides of the ball.

1566
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 8: I always play receiver in safety my whole life, so

1567
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 8: you know, I'm used to just you know, catching the ball,

1568
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 8: always being around the ball, and I think playing receiver

1569
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 8: and like it helped me as a safety, uh checking

1570
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 8: the ball and on the receiver routes that they're dead,

1571
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 8: how they're gonna break the breakdown, run this route. So

1572
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 8: I'll say that helped me a lot. And it was

1573
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 8: really fun playing the other side of the ball. Sometimes

1574
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 8: I wish I could still do it.

1575
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 3: So hear me out, you and Stingley wide right, wide left, Let's.

1576
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 6: Go, Yeah, let's go misting we go. We don't gonna

1577
01:07:59,080 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 6: get it.

1578
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: We gonna go school now we I've said that things

1579
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: got the best hands in the team. Your hands are

1580
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: pretty don't good too? When you're growing up, do you

1581
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 1: play their sports too? Did you play baseball baseball?

1582
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1583
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly because coach has talked about that about how

1584
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 1: you track the ball, and do you feel like your

1585
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: years of playing center field help you track the football

1586
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: when you're back there, because there are a lot of

1587
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: guys that may maybe as fast as you, maybe you can,

1588
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: maybe bigger than you, whatever the case might be, but

1589
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: they can't follow the ball. You seem to be able

1590
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: to do that. Do you think center field and playing

1591
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 1: center field help you do that?

1592
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 8: Yeah, playing baseball my whole life. It translates to football,

1593
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 8: especially when I'm at safety and I'm back and you know,

1594
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 8: when the ball is in the air, it's like being

1595
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 8: a center field I look at it like that. Just

1596
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 8: track the ball and on a proper angle and now,

1597
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 8: well football, you got a high point the ball too.

1598
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 8: In baseball, you also do when you're trying to catch

1599
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,519
Speaker 8: the ball. But I think it translates. It helped me

1600
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 8: a lot.

1601
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 2: What about basketball?

1602
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 6: No basketball, no baseball my whole life, all right.

1603
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,680
Speaker 3: So if you weren't a football player and you had

1604
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 3: a choice of being another professional athlete, no question, baseball, baseball.

1605
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:57,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll take baseball a lot more serious.

1606
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 2: Okay, So dodg your fan, Yeah, of course.

1607
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: He's got to be that way, But then again, it's

1608
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 1: a team that hasn't done anything in the playoffs. If

1609
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: you what's your what's your dream location to maybe play

1610
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: a game or just go for a vacation. What will

1611
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: be like a dream for you once this season is

1612
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: over and you finally have some time because you got

1613
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:25,479

Speaker 2: Game A lot of ground to cover in Africa.

1621
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 1: A lot like if you could see the Dodgers play

1622

1634
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,559

1635
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: from Hope for the first time, but he's handling his

1636
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 1: business every single day. And of course we had to

1637
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: ask him about chasing down taking big By and how

1638
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,680
Speaker 1: big a play that ended up being in the win

1639
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: over Jacksonville. Okay, we get back t time going the lab.

1640
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: Drew Doerty and I are gonna shut it down talking

1641
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 1: about this weekend, talking about everything going on with the Texans.

1642
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 2: We'll do that next right here in Texans All Access.

1643
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: All right, we go one final segment of this edition

1644
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: to Texans All Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm

1645
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:56,799
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter for your

1646
01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: Houston Texans gearing up for the Balow Bills. Haven't seen

1647
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 1: the Bills that NRG since that playoff game twenty nineteen

1648
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: season that was January twenty twenty. Haven't seen the Bills

1649
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: since I think it was September October of twenty twenty one,

1650
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 1: and it got ugly in a hurry. I mean, Lione

1651
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: Johnson picked off Josh Allen early in the game and thought, man, okay,

1652
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:24,760
Speaker 1: Davis got him all the way down inside the five,

1653
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: couldn't complete that pass, and then it was kind of

1654
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 1: downhill from there.

1655
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 2: I think it'd be in forty to nothing.

1656
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: So we haven't seen the Bills since that, thankfully, But

1657
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: now we see him on Sunday. Josh Allen, super quarterback

1658
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills, MVP candidate. In fact, he's the

1659
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: number one MVP candidate. So Texans have a difficult challenge

1660
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday, there's no doubt about that. Joining me now

1661
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 1: to discuss that challenge is Drew Dorty through our In

1662
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 1: the Lab podcast.

1663
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:59,840

01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 5: It's the three of us. We're having this nice conversation.

1667
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:11,400

1669
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 5: something about like the chicken is involved, but the hall

1670
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 5: gets committed. We'll tell that story.

1671
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got it.

1672
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 1: That's gotta be an off season story time that we

1673
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:26,880
Speaker 1: got to get into for sure.

Speaker 5: they have a sparkling new gym. It's a great setup.

1680
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 5: They meaning the band of the cheerleaders the football team

1681
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 5: were in that gym for a presentation and they thought

1682
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 5: they were gonna hear from the Houston Texans about the

1683
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:03,719
Speaker 5: Senior Showcase, which is a phenomenal program.

1684
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's so cool.

1685
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:06,719
Speaker 5: It's so awesome. If you don't know about the Senior

Speaker 5: country that come to players that need players. And you know,

1695
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 5: Texas has players, Houston has players. So there's millions and

1696
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 5: millions and millions of dollars of scholarship money that goes

1697
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 5: out for these kids. They probably wouldn't gotten it in

1698
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 5: the past. And the Texans have been doing it for

1699
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 5: over a decade now and it's really cool. So they

1700
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 5: thought they're gonna hear about that, and they will hear

1701
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 5: about that eventually. But the McNair's were there. Oh wow,

1702
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 5: John Weeks was there, these all shy was there. There's

1703
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 5: some play Eric Murray, JJ Taylor. It was really cool.

1704
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,640
Speaker 5: They were there, and the McNair's spoke a little bit

1705
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 5: and they're like, oh, we're celebrating Founder's Day. It's a

1706
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 5: really cool thing. And then they gave them twenty thousand

1707
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 5: dollars for pads. Oh wow, to fix the ac in

1708
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 5: their locker room and it's part of Founder's Day. So, hey, man,

1709
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 5: I was in college when the Tech the Oilers left,

1710
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 5: and I was kind of out in the wilderness like

1711
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 5: many of you who were around back then, I don't

1712
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 5: really remember. I didn't switch allegiances to any team. I

1713
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,600
Speaker 5: didn't I damn sure didn't keep rooting for the Oilers

1714
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 5: or the Titans. And it was just sort of like,

1715
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 5: you're in this weird in between stage. But thankfully Bob

1716
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 5: McNair was persistent, and even though the NFL wanted to

1717
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 5: give that thirty second franchise to the Los Angeles, they

1718
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 5: couldn't get their stuff together, and Bob McNair was there saying, hey,

1719
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 5: we're ready, We're ready, we have everything in place, like

1720
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 5: thanks but boom boom, thanks but boom boom. And this

1721
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 5: is over a span of years. Finally, on October sixth

1722
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 5: of nineteen ninety nine, Astro's playing the Braves in the

1723
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 5: playoffs and the NFL gives that franchise to the city

1724
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:16,639
Speaker 5: of Houston to Bob McNair, and a few years later

1725
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 5: we have Sunday Night Football and the Texans beat the

1726
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 5: Cowboys in the first ever game, but it was pretty awesome.

1727
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 5: So I want to raise a glass to the late

1728
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 5: Bob McNair last medello for him. Thank you for bringing

1729
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 5: football back. Thank you, and Happy Founder's Day to all

1730
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 5: who celebrate. And I know you're celebrating, John, I'm celebrating too.

1731
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 5: We would not be sitting in the seat we're not

1732
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 5: for the great Bob McNair bringing football back to town.

1733
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,600
Speaker 5: It was a long time without and now it's been

1734
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 5: a long time with about twenty some years. And Happy

1735
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 5: Founder's Day.

1736
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 1: Friend, Yeah, Happy Founder's Day. I think about that a lot,

1737
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:54,480
Speaker 1: a lot.

1738
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 2: Man.

1739
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,559
Speaker 1: We are lucky with what we get to do every day. Yeah,

1740
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:02,840
Speaker 1: and we gonna have a franchise. And when you when

1741
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 1: you look back at I know a lot of people

1742
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 1: do like, well, you know, it.

1743
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 2: Was only three years or whatever it was.

1744
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 1: What the timeframe was, It's about five or six, you know,

1745
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't that long. But yeah, but but you didn't

1746
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: know during that time frame that you were going to

1747
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 1: get a team like you did.

1748
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 5: They wanted it in La, right, they wanted it LA

1749
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 5: wanted in La.

1750
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: They were doing everything possible to get a franchise to La,

1751
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: which I couldn't understand.

1752
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 2: I couldn't understand where like there's there's not.

1753
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: A love and a passion for it out there like

1754
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: it is in the city of Houston. And I was like,

1755
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, the Rams were successful in LA, but you

1756
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 1: know there's listen, knowing with my family living out there,

1757
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 1: I know what LA is about. There's so many different options.

1758
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Even when they want a championship. In twenty twenty one,

1759
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:49,879
Speaker 1: the Rams were still like lower on the list of options.

1760
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 1: But the fact they have two teams in LA great,

1761
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: they got so far. Okay, they can put the NFL

1762
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 1: network out there, that's fantastic, but none of it is

1763
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: going to come close to the passion that you have

1764
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,600
Speaker 1: in this town. And you're right, Bobb Mingdair was just

1765
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 1: we've got our stuff together, We're ready to go.

1766
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:09,600
Speaker 2: Everything that you want, NFL, We're ready. You just have

1767
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 2: to tell them no.

1768
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:13,720
Speaker 1: And then look at the reality and that is we've

1769
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: got our stuff together here, we're ready. And eventually the

1770
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 1: NFL said, you know what, you're right, you're ready, let's go.

1771
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 1: And then a few years later it became, hey, we

1772
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: still want to put teams in LA. And then it's

1773
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:27,719
Speaker 1: obviously when San Diego went there, and uh, Los Angele,

1774
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 1: Oakland went there.

1775
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 2: Oakland didn't go there.

1776
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 5: The Rams they wanted us, they wanted they wanted to badly,

1777
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 5: and they end.

1778
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 2: Up in Las Vegas. So, man, how about Oakland just

1779
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 2: doesn't aside? Real fast? How about Oakland's lost the A's.

1780
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:45,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Raiders rotten and technically they've lost the Warriors.

1781
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 2: Shoot, because the Warriors went across the Bay to San Francisco. Man' hey.

1782
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 5: And then one lasteddendum to all this, so that the

1783
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 5: NFL wanted to be in Los Angeles, and they wanted

1784
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 5: to be there in the nineties, but the NFL to

1785
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 5: Houston about seven eight years ago at an owners meeting

1786
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 5: in Houston, the NFL finally decided, yes, okay, we're going

1787
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 5: to get that at those NFL teams back in LA

1788
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 5: and they sent the Rams and they sent the Chargers there.

1789
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 2: So Houston made it happen sort of, that's right.

1790
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 5: Anyhow, Houston hopefully going to make it happen on Sunday

1791
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,760
Speaker 5: against the Bills, big time slober knocker coming up three

1792
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 5: to one. Teams. Josh Allen didn't have a great night

1793
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 5: the other night, but you still look at a season

1794
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 5: stats one sixteen passer rating, seven touchdowns, zero picks. You

1795
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,680
Speaker 5: know about his arm, you know about his legs. You

1796
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 5: know he can do some damage to you. So let's

1797
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 5: bring in another favorite from the past in Randy the

1798
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 5: Macho Man Savage for our weekly Paream of the Crop

1799
01:18:54,720 --> 01:19:00,760
Speaker 5: award winner Crop, Thank you, Macho Man. So for the

1800
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 5: Texans to get a victory on Sunday, they're gonna need

1801
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 5: a Cream of the Crop award performance from You're gonna

1802
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 5: predict it? John, Who are you seeing as your Cream

1803
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 5: of the Crop award winner? In a Texans win that

1804
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 5: pushes them to four and one and drops the bills

1805
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 5: three and two?

1806
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 6: The cream of the crop.

1807
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:18,519
Speaker 2: Can I use two guys?

1808
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 5: You can do whatever you want. This is in the lab.

1809
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 5: So we get Beard on this show. Stri If you didn't,

1810
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 5: we might wonder why do they call it in the lab? Well,

1811
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 5: we kind of were like two mad scientists. Yeah, finding

1812
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 5: things together.

1813
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 2: What happens we go outside the line? Outside the box

1814
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,639
Speaker 2: here a two? Okay, danil Hunter and Will Anderson Junior.

1815
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were kind of quiet last week, did their job,

1816
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 5: but didn't let up the stat sheet like I thought.

1817
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: One of the one of the things that it's it's

1818
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:44,720
Speaker 1: it's frustrating when you kind of talk about those two

1819
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 1: because you're right the numbers on the stat sheet.

1820
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 2: You know, there's not not a bunch there, but a

1821
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 2: lot of that. And there was a lot of that

1822
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 2: in Nicolet's game too.

1823
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: You have to be very cautious and careful in how

1824
01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 1: you rush Anthony Richardson and how you rush Caleb Willlliams,

1825
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 1: and how you rush last week's opponent, Trevor Lawrence. Even

1826
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:10,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is that guy. He will absolutely embarrass you.

1827
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 1: If you get too far upfield, he's gonna slide underneath

1828
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: you and then he is gonna get out. And what

1829
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: you saw against the Ravens and stuff we've been seeing

1830
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 1: since Wyoming. I mean the throw where he is running,

1831
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 1: he's pump faking and pump faking. He's all the way

1832
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:23,640
Speaker 1: to the sideline and you think he's going out of

1833
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 1: bounds and he launches one.

1834
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 2: Fifty five yards in the air.

1835
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of different players that have

1836
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 1: to be cognizant of Josh Allen's abilities. Oh he can't

1837
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 1: throw at this, Oh god, he did, Oh my god,

1838
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:36,640
Speaker 1: he threw it that far. You know, we learned that

1839
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: against Anthony Richardson. Oh he can't throw it that far.

1840
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 1: We've got guys in his face, and then you look

1841
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: up and like, yeah, he threw at sixty five plus yards.

1842
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:45,599
Speaker 1: That's the kind of thing that the DBS are gonna

1843
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: have to deal with. But I think Daniel and Will

1844
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:50,680
Speaker 1: they've got to deal with that fact of we've got

1845
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: to rush smartly, intelligently. We can't just fly a field.

1846
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 1: We can't throw some crazy moves. We're back to the quarterback,

1847
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. We have to really be

1848
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: discipline about that particular aspect of our rush. And then

1849
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: they got to deal with two very good tackles, and

1850
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 1: Dean Dawkins and Spencer Brown they are very very good

1851
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 1: and like they're gonna like they did last week against

1852
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. The Jaguars were sending chips, running backs were

1853
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,719
Speaker 1: chipping on them throughout the game, or even double teams

1854
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 1: with tight ends before the tight ends would get out

1855
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: in the route. So they have to deal with all

1856
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: of that, and then they got to deal with bringing

1857
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,560
Speaker 1: down a guy that's six foot five, two hundred and

1858
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 1: forty pounds and is as good a running back as anybody.

1859
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 2: The Texas are.

1860
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:37,759
Speaker 1: Gonna face So I'm going with Danil Hunter and Will

1861
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: Anderson Junior as my cream of the croppers for this

1862
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:41,639
Speaker 1: game against the Bills.

1863
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, great choices, and they could be great choices every

1864
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 5: single week.

1865
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 2: I like that.

1866
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,599
Speaker 5: That's a good one. I'm gonna do another guy who's

1867
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 5: probably a great choice every week, and I think I've

1868
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 5: done him before this season, And I'm going with Derek

1869
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 5: Stingley Junior because if you were guys, your choices do

1870
01:21:56,840 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 5: what they're doing. He's definitely gonna get his opportunity. He'll

1871
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 5: get it either way. But I see a pick in

1872
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 5: his future this weekend. I think he's gonna get one,

1873
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 5: and I think it's gonna be the first one of

1874
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 5: the season that Josh Allen throws. So I've loved what

1875
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 5: what Derek Stingley has done. We talked a lot about

1876
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:17,640
Speaker 5: him during an after training camp. Every Harris hits that

1877
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 5: you wrote had the tales of a pick or two

1878
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 5: on that day of work in practice from the training

1879
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:27,759
Speaker 5: camp practice Harris hits, and I think it's gonna continue

1880
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,599
Speaker 5: having a nice season. He's he's doing what he does

1881
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:34,719
Speaker 5: out on the edge, and I think Stingley i know Stingley,

1882
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 5: he's my cream of the crop pick for this week.

1883
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:37,720
Speaker 2: He liked that.

1884
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 5: You cool.

1885
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.

1886
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 5: I mean it's kind of one of those things you

1887
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 5: can say him every single week because well, here's the

1888
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 5: thing he means.

1889
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:44,600
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with Buffalo. I noticed this in the

1890
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: gaming US the Jaguars in the third quarter. I saw

1891
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 1: him walk over to Kamara Lasser and kind of move

1892
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 1: last over to the other side, and I realized that

1893
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: Sting was starting to travel with Brian Thomas Junior at

1894
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,679
Speaker 1: that point. Yeah, and then you look in Brian Thomas

1895
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 1: Junior didn't do a whole heck of a lot after that,

1896
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 1: and I thought that was pretty interesting. With the Bills,

1897
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 1: I wonder who that guy is because Khalil Shakira is probably.

1898
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 2: The best receiver. He's more a slot guy.

1899
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Uh Kean Coleman is a is a young guy on

1900
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: the outside and he's trying to kind of find his way.

1901
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: So Matt Collins is probably not a guy that that

1902
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:22,720
Speaker 1: Sting would travel with.

1903
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 2: But the fact that sting has got that ability.

1904
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 1: To travel with different receivers, I like, it's just a

1905
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:32,719
Speaker 1: matter of when it gets to crunch time, which guy

1906
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: is that And I don't think you would put sting inside,

1907
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: but you may have to. Kalise Shakira has been fantastic.

1908
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: Here's the other thought, and I this is a crazy one.

1909
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 5: Sting was real close by the way this week to

1910
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 5: get I know, they probably could have had a couple

1911
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 5: of them.

1912
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what do you do about dault King Kate

1913
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:50,640
Speaker 2: daal Kin?

1914
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: Kate is as tough for a matchup as the Texas

1915
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 1: are going to have against tight ends, and I I

1916
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:59,799
Speaker 1: don't want to ever use Derek Stingley on a tight end.

1917
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 5: But hey, over the years here we've seen you might

1918
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 5: have to. We've seen various defenses deployed that, right, Aj Boyer, Gravis, Kelson, Gravis. Yeah,

1919
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 5: before that, I think Bryce McCain got used. I'm going

1920
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 5: way back and maybe I'm just projecting, but does that

1921
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 5: sound familiar?

1922
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 2: For sure? Yeah? I know Aj Aj Boyer for sure.

1923
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: Now you had Jonathan Joseph Cree Jackson outside and so

1924
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: AJ kind of played that that nickel role and played

1925
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:28,759
Speaker 1: extremely well. He played that, parlayed that into a huge contract,

1926
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 1: uh in twenty seventeen with the Jacks.

1927
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 2: But you could do that with Aj.

1928
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:34,639
Speaker 1: So the question with Collins, what do you do about

1929
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 1: Dalton Kinkaid Because Kincaid's.

1930
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 2: When he's flexed out, he is really really good.

1931
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 1: So Allen's got a diverse set of weapons to use

1932
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:47,600
Speaker 1: and they work really well with him. So when he

1933
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: starts to scramble a little bit, kind of like Nico

1934
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: Collins does with CJ. Stroud, they know where to go

1935
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 1: and how to work to get open. So the Texans

1936
01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: defensive back's got to be sticky, sticky. But I think

1937
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 1: I think those three that we've pointed out, they're all

1938
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:03,679
Speaker 1: fantastic football players.

1939
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:05,680
Speaker 2: We know that. But what do they say. Big time

1940
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 2: players make big time plays and big time games. They

1941
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 2: say that this is that game.

1942
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 1: This is that game for the big time players to

1943
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:13,599
Speaker 1: step up and make some massive plays.

1944
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:16,919
Speaker 5: It's also gonna be fun seeing the h oh yeah,

1945
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 5: these are the one time this uniform will be worn

1946
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 5: this year. At least that's on the schedule now that

1947
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 5: we know. I might see it again one time, but

1948
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 5: it'd be later. But yeah, it's also gonna be fun

1949
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 5: to see how these guys mix and match and swag out.

1950
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1951
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, are some gonna wear blue cleats the light baby

1952
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 5: blue cleats. Are some gonna wear red cleats.

1953
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 2: The light baby blue gloves, the.

1954
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 5: Gloves, the stuff on the arms. It's there's gonna be.

1955
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 2: There's gonna be some swagged out stuff.

1956
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,640
Speaker 5: Mixing and some matching, and fans are gonna love it.

1957
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 5: It's gonna look different. It's it's gonna be fun. Man.

1958
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 5: It's wild to finally be here, because it sometimes I

1959
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 5: feel like I'm still back in March seeing these things

1960
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 5: for the first time at the photo shoot, the big

1961
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 5: secret photo shooting downtown. It's cool that that it's finally

1962
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:01,800
Speaker 5: and you know, you know another thing you're gonna notice

1963
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 5: when they when they those cameras zoom in on CJ.

1964
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 5: Stroud maybe in the huddle we're at the line, and

1965
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 5: you're gonna see a chunk of his helmet. You'll see

1966
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 5: the little the red glitter, yea little flies red. Yeah,

1967
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 5: it's it's really cool. Keep your eye on the details.

1968
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the first game Drew that we

1969
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 2: are wearing a helmet.

1970
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:24,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't feature the bullhead logo as you see right here.

1971
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: Yeah that you'll see the h now the bullhead is

1972
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 1: on the back and the h is on the side.

1973
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: But but it's not that. Yeah, it's not that bullhead,

1974
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,679
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be. You know, the players

1975
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 1: when we interviewed them. You you did one night when

1976
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:42,639
Speaker 1: we were doing this big old photo shoot video thing downtown. Yeah,

1977
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: and you interviewed him one night. A couple guys actually,

1978
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 1: and we got them a few nights. And the guys

1979
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 1: were wearing those uniforms when they met with Mark and I.

1980
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:51,759
Speaker 2: When they interviewed with Mark and I.

1981
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 1: And to a man, they were like, Yo, these are dope,

1982
01:26:57,120 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 1: like they loved him, and totally, you just don't know

1983
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:04,120
Speaker 1: what kind of emotion that brings. I know, it's like, oh,

1984
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: it's a uniform and system, but when you're swagged out

1985
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: in a different way and you know, people are like,

1986
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 1: oh that looks I mean, you just.

1987
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 2: It adds a little bit sure, and you know what

1988
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 2: it also does.

1989
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:16,840
Speaker 1: It also ramps up the importance of a game of

1990
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 1: that magnitude. And I know a lot of focus will

1991
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 1: be on Steph this week because of his past of

1992
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 1: the bills. But I just think all in all, looking

1993
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 1: at those uniforms on Sunday is gonna be. It's gonna

1994
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 1: be a little weird at first, like whoa, this is different,

1995
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be really really cool.

1996
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 2: Can't wait.

1997
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 5: I can't wait either, all right, man, It's always fun

1998
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 5: being with you to do these things. It's always fun

1999
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 5: to be with you for watching, for listening. So thank

2000
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 5: you because hey, so the three of us just having

2001
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:47,280
Speaker 5: a good time chit chatting about the Texans till then

2002
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 5: we'll be back next week. Go Texans. H is up

2003
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:52,320
Speaker 5: and see Letron.

2004
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: Always fun stuff. When Maman Druceph comes by and we

2005
01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: could talk in the lab, getting a little geeky talking

2006
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 1: about certain things, that was fun.

2007
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 2: There's no question about that. Okay, let's go.

2008
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Round the NFL where things are happening. Mainly, you know,

2009
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of injury related a lot of times things

2010
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: that are going on. One of the biggest injuries is

2011
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 1: out San Francisco, where Christian McCaffrey is dealing with his

2012
01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:22,520
Speaker 1: achilles tendonitis.

2013
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 2: Achilles tendonitis.

2014
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 1: There are thoughts that that could linger for a lot

2015
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 1: longer than just the first four games of this year.

2016
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,080
Speaker 2: He is still not ready to go.

2017
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 1: So for those of you that pick Christian McCaffrey number

2018
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 1: one in your fantasy draft, I feel sorry for you, guys,

2019
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:43,240
Speaker 1: but it'll get better.

2020
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 2: Now.

2021
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:48,040
Speaker 1: The biggest noise probably of the week thus far has

2022
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: been made by DeVante Adams. So let's rewind what's going

2023
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 1: on with Devanta Adams with the Las Vegas Raiders. Got

2024
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,040
Speaker 1: traded to the Las Vegas Raiders few years ago, signed

2025
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:01,160
Speaker 1: a big contract to become a Raider. He goes to

2026
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. He has his buddy Derek Carr. The first

2027
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 1: year is going somewhat okay, and then Derek Carr he's

2028
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:11,679
Speaker 1: just legs cut out. They want to move on from

2029
01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:15,760
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, and it's like, WHOA, Okay, this isn't really

2030
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,720
Speaker 1: what I signed up for, but all right. So then

2031
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 1: the next year, last year, twenty twenty three season, Devonte

2032
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:27,720
Speaker 1: Adams agrees to do the Netflix show Receiver, and the

2033
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:29,520
Speaker 1: Raiders signed Jimmy Garoppolo.

2034
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:32,719
Speaker 2: There are moments in that.

2035
01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 1: Show that you can tell, oh, this is not going well.

2036
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 1: Adams on the sideline freaks out a couple times. I've

2037
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,160
Speaker 1: gotten hit harder in this than I've ever gotten hit before.

2038
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: Essentially what he's saying as his quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo and

2039
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:48,479
Speaker 1: others are just leaving him hung up to dry.

2040
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:49,800
Speaker 2: This is what he expected.

2041
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:52,960
Speaker 1: So you knew there was trouble in River City. Well,

2042
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:56,679
Speaker 1: somebody over the weekend had tweeted or put on social

2043
01:29:56,800 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 1: media that this should be the last DeVante Adams didn't

2044
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,880
Speaker 1: play last week, and somebody said that should have been

2045
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:06,719
Speaker 1: the last game whatever their game was before this past week,

2046
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:13,840
Speaker 1: and apparently Antonio Pierce liked that social media post. Less

2047
01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 1: than twenty four hours later, DeVante Adams requested a trade. Now,

2048
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:25,120
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce essentially is, essentially said on Wednesday, Davante's dealing

2049
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:27,280
Speaker 1: with hamstring, he's reabbing, and the rest of us are

2050
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:31,559
Speaker 1: focused on Denver. Yeah, I guess that's the way you

2051
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 1: can look at it. He went on further, because it

2052
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:37,000
Speaker 1: starts with me, because that's my only focus. I get

2053
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:38,920
Speaker 1: paid here to get ready each and every week for

2054
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:41,240
Speaker 1: the opponent. I don't blink, I don't flinch. I've said

2055
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:43,240
Speaker 1: it before. I've been through enough of my life with

2056
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 1: adversity and stuff that it doesn't bother me. Pierce continued,

2057
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 1: I just moved forward. The next obstacle in front of

2058
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 1: me is the Denver Broncos, and that's what I presented

2059
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,439
Speaker 1: to my team, and that's what they're doing right now.

2060
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 2: In the meetings.

2061
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 1: We're about to go out to practice and do it

2062
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:05,120
Speaker 1: versus The asked Wednesday whether the like of social media

2063
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 1: was accidental, Pierce responded, yeah, I'm focused on Denver, so

2064
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't think the yeah was yeah, that was accidental.

2065
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:14,479
Speaker 1: I think it was like, yeah, I'm focused on Denver,

2066
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:17,799
Speaker 1: like just trying to go beyond it. So Devonte Adams

2067
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:19,720
Speaker 1: has said there are two teams he would like to

2068
01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 1: go to the Jets and the Saints. The Jets to

2069
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:25,280
Speaker 1: join his NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Saints to join

2070
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 1: his college quarterback Derek Carr. Both teams I suppose could

2071
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: use a receiver, although Garret Wilson is a fantastic receiver,

2072
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,160
Speaker 1: so we'd see how that would go with the Jets.

2073
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:39,640
Speaker 1: And then they've got other weapons the Saints Chris olave Chi.

2074
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:42,760
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good one two combination, Alvi Kamara. I

2075
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:44,840
Speaker 1: don't know where they're gonna get enough footballs for all them,

2076
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:52,000
Speaker 1: but Devonte Adams asking for a trade, you ah man,

2077
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:56,600
Speaker 1: that is going to get uh Glee. Thursday night football

2078
01:31:57,600 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be I think a good one years Taking

2079
01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:04,360
Speaker 1: on the Falcons in Atlanta.

2080
01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 2: Bucks are coming off a win last week. They beat

2081
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles.

2082
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:13,439
Speaker 1: The Falcons young Wayku knocked home a fifty eight yarder

2083
01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:17,880
Speaker 1: to beat the hated New Orleans Saints. That even both

2084
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 1: the Falcons and Saints records at two and two. But

2085
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:25,160
Speaker 1: this game taking place in Atlanta on a Thursday night,

2086
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 1: so that means Atlanta will have had a Monday night game,

2087
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:32,960
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game, and a Thursday night game all

2088
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 1: in the first five games of the year. It is

2089
01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:40,599
Speaker 1: the power of Kirk o Kirk Cousins. I guess that

2090
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 1: get that got them those games. I like the Buccaneers

2091
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 1: in this I'll be honest, I won't get a chance

2092
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 1: to do my predictions because it's not my day for

2093
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 1: doing predictions. Day for doing predictions this Friday in the

2094
01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:53,960
Speaker 1: game will be done. But I'm gonna ahead say I

2095
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 1: think that the Falcons and I'm sorry the Buccaneers and

2096
01:32:56,439 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 1: have winning this game on the road. I think Bucks

2097
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:01,439
Speaker 1: are a good team, really really good football team. At

2098
01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 1: three to one. I don't know if they've played at

2099
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:06,599
Speaker 1: their best. I don't know if they're at their ceilings,

2100
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:08,160
Speaker 1: but I think they've been playing really good football. I

2101
01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:11,719
Speaker 1: think the Falcons have been all over the map. Probably

2102
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 1: should not have won that game against the Saints. Found

2103
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 1: a way to win it. Probably should have won a

2104
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:18,320
Speaker 1: game against Eagles, found a way to win it, probably

2105
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:20,040
Speaker 1: should have won the game against the Chiefs. Found a

2106
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:23,640
Speaker 1: way to lose. It really kind of got kicked in

2107
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:25,640
Speaker 1: the teeth against the Steelers, and the Steelers.

2108
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:26,519
Speaker 2: Ended up winning that football game.

2109
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 1: So Bucks Falcons tomorrow night on Prime Video, So that

2110
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:33,599
Speaker 1: should definitely be some fun stuff. This is a big

2111
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:36,840
Speaker 1: one because the Texans next opponent after the Bills is

2112
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:42,400
Speaker 1: New England is newing the Patriots. David Andrews, longtime center

2113
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:47,320
Speaker 1: for the Patriots, will undergo shoulder surgery and likely miss

2114
01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Said Drop Mayo. It's definitely

2115
01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:55,160
Speaker 1: a huge loss. There's no question. It'll probably be Nick

2116
01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:58,960
Speaker 1: Leverett former Buck who will step in for Andrews, But

2117
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,519
Speaker 1: that's a big one. Andrews one of the Patriots better players.

2118
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:05,760
Speaker 1: He also noted Jiromeo did they're considering starting running back

2119
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:09,479
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson over Amandre Stevenson. Stevens and Stevenson has had

2120
01:34:09,479 --> 01:34:12,160
Speaker 1: some fumbling issues, and I think he's one of the

2121
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:15,000
Speaker 1: better backs in the league, but fumbling the football puts

2122
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:15,840
Speaker 1: you on the bench.

2123
01:34:15,880 --> 01:34:16,839
Speaker 2: It's that simple.

2124
01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 1: So Mike san Antonio, Gibson over Amandre Stevenson. Patriots taken

2125
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:25,559
Speaker 1: on the Dolphins, uh this week. But that's a that's

2126
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:27,680
Speaker 1: a big one. That's a big one right there with

2127
01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 1: David Andrews being out. So we'll see how the Patriots

2128
01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:33,040
Speaker 1: go about it. I think that we're gonna see Drake

2129
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:36,479
Speaker 1: May in our game. I know the offensive line hasn't

2130
01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:38,599
Speaker 1: been great for the Patriots, and now you take Andrews

2131
01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:41,880
Speaker 1: out of it. Yikes, yikes, yikes.

2132
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:44,280
Speaker 2: Man, Holy cow, sad day.

2133
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:46,760
Speaker 1: I know in Houston, Astros took one on the chin,

2134
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:49,280
Speaker 1: losing five to two at two to one league going

2135
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:53,000
Speaker 1: into the eighth bullpen gave it up. Tough one in Houston,

2136
01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:54,920
Speaker 1: but man, what a run the Astros have had. Will

2137
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:58,240
Speaker 1: not go to ALCS this year. Uh So, definite gut

2138
01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:01,840
Speaker 1: punch for all the Houston fan out there. For your myself,

2139
01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:05,920
Speaker 1: I hate seeing that. So it's all Texans all the time, baby,

2140
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:08,760
Speaker 1: and hopefully on Sunday we kick it off with a

2141
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:09,519
Speaker 1: really good win.

2142
01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 2: Over the Buffalo Bills.

2143
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 1: All right, A big thanks to Nick Assario, to Mark vandermir,
