Joe hosts staying Northfleet. That is me, welcome to the program.
12
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:39.039
To my left, my radio partner in his customary spot.
13
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.479
That's Chris Gordon Connady McGovern He's got his Texas get on.
14
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.439
We ready Sunday night football. They're rolling up in here
15
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.320
from Shytown. It's if you didn't know, I see the
16
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.520
posts all over social media. It's a Chicago take over
17
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.280
this weekend. Get Tank and who else, the R and
18
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.119
B artist Tank and some other people from Chicago. There's
19
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.079
a whole social movement, you know, know, have like one
20
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:02.359
hit I deserve?
21
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:04.920
Yeah, you know what? The thing? All right? So anyway,
22
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.000
what god lender's coming to town and stuff.
23
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.079
How about you come take this damn l and then
24
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:10.760
you ride out with your pumpkin orange.
25
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.439
Actually like that are Even The Today Show this morning
26
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.280
was all over it. I mean it's it's on NBC,
27
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:16.920
but they were promoting the hell out of it. And
28
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.760
it's some chef on she lives in Houston, but she's
29
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.400
from Chicago, so she had a split jersey on it
30
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:24.079
was half Bears split it.
31
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:26.439
Don't get me started anyway, I was gonna say something inappropriate.
32
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:31.000
Let me not violate the SCC Texans. We will have
33
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.680
predictions as we get ready for Sunday Night football Week
34
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.840
two in the NFL already underway. The story that is
35
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.120
permeating across all networks and stations of a sports variety.
36
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.359
To a tongue of our Lord gets concussed exits a
37
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.239
game that he was not playing very well in Dolphins
38
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.959
taking al at the hands of the Buffalo Bills. Bills
39
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.239
definitely have their number in a division rivalry there in
40
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.799
the AFC East. We will discuss what are the keys
41
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.840
to the Texans victory on Sunday. We want to open
42
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.159
up the phone lines when we get there and hear
43
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:06.840
from the people.
44
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:08.319
I have some thoughts.
45
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.840
I've looked at the tape from the Bears Titans game again.
46
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.759
I went back and looked over my notes coming out
47
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.199
of the Colts game, Gordon, and there are some areas
48
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.000
that I do believe the Colts could exploit which could
49
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.800
make life difficult for CJ. Stroud and company over NRG
50
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.159
on Sunday, Sean Salisbury. Appreciate those guys each and every
51
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.240
weekday morning six to ten am. Right here on seven
52
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.840
ninety Shawn Salisbury, he is going to be in the
53
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:33.800
building on Sunday.
54
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:33.960
Now.
55
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.080
I used to hear Sean saying he's going over there
56
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.879
to NRG, so may see him over there.
57
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.439
You going, Gordon, No connor, you're busting up in that
58
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.039
junkets too. I mean, let somebody gives me free tickets.
59
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.159
Oh you we just got through talking about it. You're
60
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.599
elitist when it comes to tickets, just like me. Fleet
61
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.919
don't do upper level now now I've earned Yeah, I
62
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.879
just no dispect. There are some good sightlines in some
63
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.639
buildings from the upper level. Just you Fleet can't do it. Nonetheless,
64
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.479
the building will be packed. We were in all white
65
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.280
support these Texans. We'll talk more about that at ten
66
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.360
point thirty, where we will have a guest from Chicago
67
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.319
that's gonna drop by and help us with that. My
68
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.680
man Matt Spiegel, he's on six seventy to score in Chicago.
69
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.360
He's gonna help us get to know our foe a
70
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.840
little bit. Yesterday afternoon, Gordon, when we signed off, we
71
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.120
rushed over the min in May Park to see the
72
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.919
number one team in the AL West avoid getting swept
73
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.960
at the hands of the Oakland Athletics. That would be
74
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.599
our Astros yesterday emerging victorious six to three.
75
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:38.280
Joint effort, and they would need that. Excuse me, Astros
76
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.800
would need that as the Manners were in action versus
77
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.639
the dreaded Rangers last night. I fell asleep on that one.
78
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.639
I believe the Mariners won that game.
79
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:49.840
No, they lost.
80
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.360
They lost, Okay, so I went, Yeah, the Rangers were
81
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.199
losing going into the eighth and they had a nice
82
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:56.879
little rally and go Rangers.
83
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:58.080
It was funny.
84
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.159
There was a bunch of astrosk people on social media estorday, Yes,
85
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:02.639
we got a root for the Rangers tonight.
86
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:04.159
I know that's a challenge.
87
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.840
I mean, like good Lord, Mariners, like Astros had a
88
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.759
you know a handful of blown leads late this year,
89
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.280
but the Mariners do it like every other night.
90
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:18.560
It's unbelievable. Nonetheless, I'm happy that it happened. Standings wise, Astros.
91
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.879
With the Mariners losing that game, we bump it back up.
92
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.879
Four and a half is the lead for the Astros,
93
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.839
which is where we start this morning. Gordon, we went
94
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.759
over to the ballpark. I want to thank Ac who
95
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.360
arranged for most of us to be sitting together over
96
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.480
at minute May Day baseball game. Hey, I need to
97
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.759
say this too. Shout out to the right Field team store.
98
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.079
They looked out for your boy, made sure I was
99
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.839
well equipped, got a new lid, a couple other items
100
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.040
had my eyes on as well. Appreciate the ladies over
101
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.680
there at the checkout count and making sure I stayed tight.
102
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.759
Where we at Gordon, we went up to the Gallica Club.
103
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.439
We hung out up there for a while, had to
104
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.160
take a business call. Nonetheless, the people are happy it
105
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.519
gets to at our rick, so I'm happy. Then we
106
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.399
got to some baseball and Goda and we were made
107
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.519
our way down there to our dugout of seats again
108
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.959
being the wheel ticket of leaders on this program.
109
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.319
What stood out to you the most from and you know,
110
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.399
we saw what we saw fromber b fromber and he
111
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.639
was very good. He gives up the rb The RBI
112
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.399
single was seventh, but you know, close the door on him.
113
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.199
Six and a third, one run ball, six strikeouts, ninety
114
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:27.759
six pitches.
115
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:28.279
That's awesome.
116
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.160
It's it's great Fromber and overall he's been great Fromber
117
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:32.079
for much of this year.
118
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:34.720
But then we get Ryan.
119
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:36.439
Oh and by the way, Brian and Brady was very
120
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:40.879
good out of the pen again. Ryan Presley, It's just
121
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.399
it's been a thing with him this year. He cannot
122
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.279
get a clean inning to save his life. Yeah, my god,
123
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.680
gives up some runs. It's, you know, solo shot to
124
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.680
Brent Rooker, but it's still it's you suddenly go from
125
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.040
a game where you've been pretty much in control of it,
126
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.439
leading to nothing than two to one. Suddenly it's a
127
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:58.639
tie game two to two in the top of the
128
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.120
eighth year and you're like, they really gonna lose this game.
129
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.399
Let this slip away get swept by the freaking A's.
130
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:10.519
Embarrassing had it happen. It did not for me. Uh,
131
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.439
the thing that stood out, one of the things that
132
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.399
stood out. We're all standing there and uh, they intentionally
133
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.600
walk Jason Heyward. Why did they walk Jay Hay Because
134
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.319
he made their ass page. Give me some ja, some
135
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.920
sweet music. Let's go, y'all A Jay, Hey, welcome to Houston.
136
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.279
Long setting out of the O two curveball and that's
137
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:29.800
belted to Wright sents back.
138
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.879
Butler at the wall looking, got to see a letter.
139
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.839
Jason Hayward goes steep a two runs shot and it's
140
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:45.680
two nothing Astros. Heyward's first hover ed an Astros uniform.
141
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:47.680
Well it comes with two outs and it comes on
142
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.079
an O two count. The big curveball from Spence goes
143
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:51.720
a long way.
144
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.839
Appreciate my man, Jay hay By the way, Robert Ford
145
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.279
and Steve's boks Astros Radio Network, you know what time
146
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.639
it is? Jay playing some field yesterday. Uh he was
147
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:07.160
batting eighth Gordon and then they would come back in
148
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:11.839
the eighth. Intentionally walked Jason, Hey, we're to load the base,
149
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:12.680
as I do believe.
150
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:14.879
Well, the story was before that. I mean I'm trying
151
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:15.519
to get through Dubon.
152
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:20.319
Well before that, it took Singleton giving you the lead
153
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.000
with with two outs. I mean, that was that was
154
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.600
the big one. It's bottom the eighth. Jordan flew out,
155
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.360
Janner Diaz gets a single. Kyle Tucker singles, Payna flies out.
156
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.120
Let's hear it here. So you got two on two
157
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:33.240
out for Singleton.
158
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:34.480
Singleton du Wert.
159
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.879
The one to zero and that is lifted in the
160
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.959
shallow right center it down for a basic DS, scores
161
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.720
tarring for third sucker. John Singleton with his third head
162
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.959
of the day at RBI single three to two Astros.
163
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:54.879
He's had a great.
164
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.360
Series at the plane, including an RBI triple in the
165
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:02.160
first game. Singleton got that fingered fastball that didn't do
166
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.879
much off the end of the bat. It's strong Singleton
167
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:07.920
to get it to the outfield grass.
168
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:14.639
John Singleton the single right there, scores DS and Tuck
169
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.040
goes to third. In the eighth inning, there also shouting
170
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:21.720
out John Singleton his first career triple in this series.
171
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.480
I believe whatever that was, Gordon, was that Wednesday? What
172
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.920
game was that? That was Tuesday's game? John Singleton first
173
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:28.480
career triple?
174
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:28.800
All right?
175
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.319
But why I stressed how big this was, It's because
176
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.840
it's two outs. I mean, this team is how many
177
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.840
times is this this year? And we've preached you can't
178
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:39.320
they don't come through with men on it, leaving men
179
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.559
on base runners in scoring position not coming through and
180
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.639
again Singleton was the big k and all you needed
181
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.240
was a will lead, right, You're like, all right, just
182
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.159
get us a one run lead, and you know we
183
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:50.039
got hater coming.
184
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.399
Will be all right, But they weren't done.
185
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.919
Jake Lyers next Pulman's old one, and that is lined
186
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.399
at a left center field for a base and Tucker
187
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.720
can walk home. Is that ball goes all the way
188
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.399
to the fence in front of the visitor's bullpen. Singleton
189
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:07.559
and the third and the second chick Byers drives it
190
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.279
a run with a double four to two.
191
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:17.159
Astros Boy Meyers dated that.
192
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:21.879
The Astros dated that once again with two outs.
193
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.679
A clothesline in the left center field.
194
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.759
Appreciate you forward a sparky Gordy. You mentioned the two
195
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:34.399
out RBIs Heyward, you get two, Singleton, get you one,
196
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.000
Myers the aforementioned you get you one. And here's my guy,
197
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.360
ma Hon Durat homeboy Mauricio Dubon. They walked Jason Heyward
198
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:47.240
intentionally playing with my guy Mauricio Duban ranked their pass
199
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:48.360
played Dubon.
200
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.120
One to one. Brown ball through the left side of base.
201
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.679
Hit that'll score Singleton around third and coming home Byers
202
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:57.879
the front of the play by Cavin the slide say
203
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.639
buyer speaks it back picked the second out of time,
204
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.879
Hambert's in there gets a two run single for Dubon
205
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:05.960
and a six to two Astros leave.
206
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:06.799
It was bald.
207
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:08.799
We got a couple to look at here, one at
208
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:11.799
home and one at second. Big time hit for Dubon
209
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.120
again coming up big Mark Cotsee the manager wants him
210
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.240
to take a look at something and hadn't to take
211
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:18.679
a look.
212
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:25.000
At confirmed that runner is safe. Second Dalco confirmed that
213
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:26.159
runner's safe.
214
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:28.320
Open the louver Baler.
215
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:29.600
That's a double safe.
216
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.600
Take that right there, Gordon. I thought the game was
217
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:34.519
button up. We were out of it at that point.
218
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:35.960
On the way out of.
219
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.360
Go ahead, well we thought, and then you know, Josh
220
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.840
Hater gives up that solo homer to Nevin. That was like,
221
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.279
thank god we got those extra runs because, like I said,
222
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.720
when when Singleton got to arbyms three to two, I
223
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.320
was like, oh, we're good. But knowing Hater gives up
224
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:51.919
that home run in the third, you would it out
225
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:52.360
have been good.
226
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.759
Listen, it was six to two at that point. There
227
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:57.559
was no way I thought the Strolls were going to
228
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.919
I shouldn't say no way. I was optimistic that Destros
229
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.840
would maintain a lead at home of that caliber, given
230
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.759
that it was the guys at the bottom of the lineup. Okay,
231
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.879
let's come back. We will finish up some Astros. Pivot
232
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.039
to the other thing that had our attention. From a
233
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.440
sports standpoint in the city, the AFC sal to excuse me.
234
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.720
The AFC each two opponents that the Texans will play
235
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:20.399
this season and to a tongue of our lord, we
236
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.279
have an issue and it may impact C. J. Stroud
237
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.000
more of that to come get warmed up. On a Friday,
238
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:26.039
Sports Talk seven.
239
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:33.279
Ninety Staton north Fleet and Chris Gordy.
240
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.720
This this next up on sports sucks.
241
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.399
So I'm gonna get to him like that, Hey.
242
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.559
You got a big knock. Hey we're big two run
243
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.159
Homer intentionally walk him to pitch a Dubond. Dubon finds
244
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.840
a hole. You know that that's that's big when we
245
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:54.960
can stretch it out and get big hits from maybe one.
246
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.080
We found ourselves, you know, scoring some runs late in
247
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.639
the game and we got a little bit a cushion there.
248
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:07.120
So that was that was the case today.
249
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:10.200
There. Astro skipper Jeorge Spottle in response to the bottom
250
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:13.879
of the order. They came through yesterday, Gordon. They don't
251
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.559
always do it, but yesterday it was not a thing.
252
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.720
There's John Singleton, he got three hits, scoring two runs
253
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:23.879
and RBI for you, sir, Jake Myers, by the way,
254
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.559
you were hauling ass to get home there in the
255
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:31.639
bottom of the a. Uh, both challenges were not overturned.
256
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.879
I'm sorry, it's reading something, Jake Myers. He gets an RBI. Uh.
257
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:36.639
There's Jay Hay in the eighth hole.
258
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.840
You get two RBIs, including your first home run in
259
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.879
the Astros unit. And there's my guy, Mauricio Dubond with
260
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.799
two RBI's. Bottom of the order come through, Gordon, seven
261
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.600
men left on and yes, Astro Steele four to eleven
262
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.720
with runners of scoring position. But I'll take that, especially
263
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.759
from the bottom of the order, because that is better
264
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.679
than it has been the other two games in this series.
265
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:00.679
Well, they better show up with the that's ready to
266
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.440
go in La because again this is you know, it
267
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.039
was nice still avoid the sweep yesterday, but you still
268
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.080
reality has lost two out of three to Oakland. You've
269
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.399
lost three out of your last four. You know, you've
270
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:16.039
lost what six of your last nine. Yep, you got
271
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.879
you got two weeks lest left of the season. Basically,
272
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:21.559
go take it, go take advantage. Go win two out
273
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.320
of three in La See what you're do in San Diego.
274
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.279
Be great to win two out of three there, and
275
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:27.879
then you come home for your last home stand of
276
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:29.919
the season next time. The next time you ask us
277
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:31.440
come back home in the Mini May Park is the
278
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:32.879
last home stand of the year.
279
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:34.399
Yeah, I got to get back over there and check
280
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:36.039
that out again. Thanks to the folks up in the
281
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.200
Gallica Club out there in left field, Uh did a
282
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:42.159
great job. The food and service was fantastic. Appreciate those
283
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.279
good people as well as the team store right field.
284
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.320
Shout out to you ladies. Thank you much. Astros.
285
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.120
Tonight, as Gordy mentioned, we'll do the on deck show
286
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.840
at seven thirty right here on kV and ME home
287
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:57.840
of the Stros. First pitch coming shortly after eight thirty
288
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.799
local time out West, three games versus the Angels, then
289
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.279
starting on Monday, three games versus the Pods and bringing
290
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.559
them back to h Town on Thursday. All right, So
291
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:10.759
that's that from a back we have not going to
292
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:14.559
talked a lot about what Fromber did. Fromber, he goes
293
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:17.639
six and a third, giving up just one earned, striking
294
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:23.200
out six through ninety six pitches, and yeah, Fromber looks
295
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:24.919
like it was good from but he had him in
296
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.200
position for everybody else to come do what they do.
297
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.360
You did bring up Brian Abray, you who gets a
298
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.360
hole there. We also talked about Presley, who, by the way,
299
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.000
Ryan Presley gets the win. Strangely enough, he gave up
300
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.519
a running. Then Josh Hader we talked about gave up one.
301
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.200
Let's ask the manager Joe Spotta on the performance from
302
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.840
Fromber able to get a win and bought a plane
303
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:47.039
to go to California.
304
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:48.919
I thought he was really good again. You know, deep
305
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.480
counts with guys to see a lot of pitches. They're
306
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:53.960
better than what the record reflects how good they're being
307
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.480
a second half because those guys are starting to figure
308
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.320
some stuff out offensively right, like they could prolong on
309
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.600
a bad They got power with you know, Ruker is
310
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.000
a threat. You know, it's like they they find ways
311
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:06.159
to score run, so you know, credit to all this.
312
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.200
He finds way to get people out, you know, scround
313
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.240
balls when he needed to. I thought, personally the playoff
314
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.799
the game was the the play in the fifth the
315
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:19.440
Allen Ground bought up the middle. That boat gets through.
316
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:21.559
You know, his pitch count is going up. Now you
317
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:23.879
got to deal with Butler and Ruker. It would have
318
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.840
been a completely different game if Jeremy doesn't make That
319
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.879
was for me the play off the game.
320
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.120
All right, Jeremy Pinya being bragged on there by manager
321
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:35.639
Joe A.
322
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:36.120
Spot Er.
323
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:42.279
Uh in terms of the pitching staff yesterday, Gordon, anything
324
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.519
jump out to you from Fromber's standpoint about that?
325
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:46.919
Let me just add this on Fromber.
326
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:49.720
I mean he has been he's he's really only had
327
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.840
one uh not great start in the last two and
328
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.159
a half months. Basically everything else he's been, he's been
329
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.919
pretty money. I mean, it's so that boats.
330
00:15:58.960 --> 00:15:59.159
Well.
331
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.240
What sucks though, is you know, he was in line
332
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:05.000
for the win and Ryan Presley took that out of
333
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.519
his hands. So that it always sucks, you know, because
334
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:09.159
fourteen and six on the season. But I mean that
335
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.440
was his fifteenth win last night, taken out of his hand.
336
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.759
But a two ninety one era. I mean, you know
337
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.120
all the griping that that people have done about frombur
338
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:20.120
and yes he had it. He was not great in
339
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:22.919
the postseason last year and he had some some rough times,
340
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.080
but I mean the two ninety one era stand this
341
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.600
is his best, you know, one of his best statistical seasons.
342
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:31.480
You know, the season a ra was three forty five.
343
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:33.519
Last year it was two eighty two, twenty twenty two,
344
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:35.600
and that's when he was so so special. When he
345
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.279
went seventeen and six, that was hands down his best
346
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:41.399
season yet. But you can make an argument. I mean,
347
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.480
I mean, this is Fromber's second best season of his career.
348
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:46.919
And by the way, he's got one more year and
349
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.799
then do some money. So you know he's his agent,
350
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:52.919
are sitting there going, he's motivating. He saved the best
351
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:54.679
for last Fromber.
352
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.840
You can do a lot to buffer your position in case,
353
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.399
and I am comfortable giving him the ball in the
354
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.519
postseason and go go do it. Go be better this
355
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.079
year than you were last year, and as good as
356
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.039
you were in the twenty two World Series titles season,
357
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:13.759
Go be that from and we won't be talking about
358
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:16.440
the dough. And he's been on the roller coaster this year.
359
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.920
You remember when it was bad, people talking about should
360
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.279
you go ahead and deal Fromber at the deadline. That
361
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.440
was a real conversation we had in the moment that
362
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.519
has subsided, and I believe the two people that should
363
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.480
go out there right now, I would probably go with
364
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:35.279
Frombert followed by Hunter Brown and the way he's pitching,
365
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:38.839
I would probably go Kakuchi.
366
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:43.160
But it let me see how Joe Burlander looks.
367
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.519
Let me see how they shah Julian Morales she posted
368
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:48.240
a video you know, she lets you do. It was
369
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.400
a little like you know Q and A sessions with
370
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.759
the players. She asked a question or whatever, and she
371
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.079
did one yesterday asking all the players about what their
372
00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:58.759
favorite coffee at, like you know, how they take their coffee,
373
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:01.519
And they all had you know, something like Jake Myers
374
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:03.799
like I just drink black coffee, and like some other
375
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:05.839
guys like the type I think Chas McCormick is like
376
00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:10.599
double macchiato caramel also looks like but uh, you say cooch,
377
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:11.400
what are you saying?
378
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:14.119
Very good English like, I don't know. I just on
379
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:16.880
the coffee. Yeah, I just I was. I was. It
380
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:17.519
took me back.
381
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:19.759
I didn't. I didn't know how you like your coffee.
382
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:23.279
I don't drink coffee, nor do I. Conna, how do
383
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:24.079
you like your coffee?
384
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:24.279
Tom?
385
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:29.079
We know you drink coffee connor milk. I don't drink coffee,
386
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:31.480
don't know. I'm a green tea man. So I got nothing.
387
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:34.519
In Paris?
388
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.640
What oh a cafe? Ohf l a coffee with milk.
389
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:43.279
Didn't know you spoke on Francis another language? Uh bsa
390
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:47.759
is what you normally speak. No, you are fluent that
391
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:57.039
language yet uh tsuk your master's ads shout out there?
392
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:00.000
So what did I say?
393
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:00.279
Oh?
394
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:02.680
I was going somewhere a couple of days ago, and
395
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.839
I think about Lance mccullis junior when I see they
396
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:10.160
have the man. No, they had a Maven suv. It
397
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:12.279
was a Lectus truck. It looked really cool. It was
398
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.960
Matt paint and it had maven. Uh what do you call?
399
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:17.640
I forget the technique that you use, but you can
400
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:18.400
see it on the side.
401
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.960
Yeah, the coffee owner who sometimes dabbles in baseball.
402
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:23.079
I would really love if if the coffee on would
403
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:25.039
be full time baseball man.
404
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:26.519
Let's call it. But it's funny.
405
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:28.279
I mean, you were, you were, We were dancing around
406
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:33.279
the Fromber topic. But like Fromber like he's like like
407
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:35.640
he You're gonna have to pay him because he's the
408
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:38.960
most reliable, like Javeer got paid, but he got hurt.
409
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:41.880
Kidi's probably gonna be gone after next year. You know,
410
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.759
like there's well looking around the jack, do you not
411
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:46.799
do you want to back if he keeps pitching like
412
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.680
that healthy as JP Franz. Yeah, I mean you look
413
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:53.000
around that room and it's like you almost need Fromber
414
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:54.960
back as the ace of the staff for the next
415
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:55.839
four or five years.
416
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:57.720
It's interesting enough, I thought.
417
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:01.359
Jason Hayward added some interesting, interesting, excuse me, perspective here,
418
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:03.640
just because he's new to the club and I like
419
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.440
to get outside opinions on things. As we go to break,
420
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:10.519
we'll talk some NFL on the other side, as we'll
421
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:14.000
have a guest out of Chicago. Excuse me, we're going
422
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:16.279
to have our guy. We're in my note a Matt
423
00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:19.640
Spiegel six seventy to score in Chicago's gonna take us
424
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:22.160
behind enemy lines. But Jason hay was in right great
425
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.000
game by Jay Hey yesterday. What's it like being behind
426
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.160
Fromber defending in right field there? I kind of get
427
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:32.680
in a daze just watching how he's working. You know.
428
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.079
He I feel like, if anybody has mastered the pitch clock,
429
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:38.880
not to be rushed by any means, and if you're
430
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:40.279
not paying attention, he will get.
431
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:41.119
A quick pitch off.
432
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:44.519
But it's fun to watch him work, fun to watch
433
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:46.680
him attack hitters, and he's not afraid to throw any
434
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:49.880
pitch any count. And you know, I think that's as
435
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:51.880
poison as you can be as a starter. So a
436
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:54.119
lot of respective from her today going out there, getting
437
00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:57.160
us a dove and pitching really really well for us.
438
00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:59.720
Again, did we explanation?
439
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.599
What the hell when the third base on power came
440
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:05.680
in and stopped play and Fromber walked off the mound
441
00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:08.799
and the umpires talked like that was so weird.
442
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.960
Don't know, I got nothing on that one. All right,
443
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:13.839
let's do this, let's break, let's come back. We have
444
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:18.720
a guest talking some Texans Bears Sunday night, seven twenty
445
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:21.839

the Texans on Sunday night in front of the nation,
454
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.599
Mike Tarico Collins words, and I always forget the lady
455
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:55.799
that's working the sidelines for that crew. What's it ain't
456
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.079
going to start? Let's to start, Melissa start? Thank you, Sorry, Melissa,
457
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:02.519
I forget you sometime. Nonetheless, everybody will be here. What
458
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:05.240
do these Bears bring in with that? To be said,
459
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:08.000
we go to the guest line now his main voyage
460
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:10.559
here on Sports Talk seven ninety and certainly on next
461
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:14.960
up Matt Spiegel six' seventy. The score there in Chicago,
462
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.480
let's talk about these Bears. Good morning till you met.
463
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:18.759
What's going on in Shotown?
464
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:20.240
Oh man?
465
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:24.440
All is well, you guys, the Houston Texans.
466
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:25.559
Are who we want to be.
467
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:29.599
That's all we're talking about all off season in advance
468
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:33.880
of a Caleb Williams draft, and certainly right now, like
469
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.160
we dream of Caleb and Bears making a leap like
470
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.079
Stroud and the Texans did last year, and then maybe
471
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:43.240
we signed the big free agent to complete the roster.
472
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.119
Like you guys did with Danielle Hunters. So a big
473
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:47.079
time game for you.
474
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:49.200
I know it's the first Sunday night game in five
475
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:52.240
years for the Texans, and it's a big time game
476
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:54.680
for the Bears. A really good early test after the
477
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:56.319
offense looked bad in the opener.
478
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.839
Yeah, let's talk about that. First of all, you get
479
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.279
your eyes off my guy. Yeah, you can hit follow
480
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.279
and like and you can repost, but number seven belongs
481
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.119
to us in Houston. So you calm down. Tell everybody
482
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:09.759
else good, We're good man. We think we got our
483
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:14.599
guys one. But it's week one. Matt. There's no way
484
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:16.759
in hell you believe you have your guy and Cayleb
485
00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.319
Williams and y'all in scoring no damn points in the
486
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.480
first start by him in a home game now in
487
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:26.039
Chicago on Sunday, your defense and special teams got the
488
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:29.359
dub for you. How confident in you? How confident in
489
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:30.559
Caleb Williams?
490
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:31.480
Are you really?
491
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:32.519
Have?
492
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:37.039
You really decided the fate of a quarterback by one
493
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.640
offensive performance where Keenan Allen dropped a touchdown where there
494
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.640
were four other passes blocked at the line of scrimmage,
495
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.720
where the middle of the Bears offensive line, which is
496
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.039
a problem, was absolutely horrific against two monsters on that
497
00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:56.880
Titan's interior and Jeffrey Simmons and the kid Deveandre Sweat
498
00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:59.880
and Caleb Williams is making it very difficult to just
499
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:01.720
but not everybody's gonna be CJ.
500
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:08.519
Stroud And truth be told, hold on Stroud game in
501
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:11.039
the yards, But the QB rating was in the seventies.
502
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:13.960
It was week two when Stroud made his leap and
503
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.359
unleashed the string of what five straight games of a
504
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:20.440
quarterback rating on your and we and we might not
505
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:25.200
even get that, And I'm fine, look in my mind, Caleb.
506
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:26.240
Already talked about it this week.
507
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:29.880
He was a little quick on his drops in terms
508
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:34.200
of his dropbacks. Also, he and the receivers not quite
509
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:36.799
on the same page. You know, in preseason you don't
510
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:39.359
really do quite as much as they used to back
511
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:41.680
in the day. This is the most difficult transition in
512
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:42.640
all of sports, is.
513
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.319
To be a college quarterback and to become what CJ.
514
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:46.680
Stroud was as a rookie.
515
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:51.319
Remarkable stuff and zero dissing of what Stroud did, But
516
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:53.720
note book has been written on Caleb and only a
517
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:55.119
football novice would do so.
518
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:55.960
After one game.
519
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:58.359
Yeah, we're having a hard time hearing you there, Matt.
520
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:03.279
There were a lot of excuses come there. Let's talk
521
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:05.319
a little bit about your your defense. I mean, it's
522
00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:07.359
so funny when we think Chicago Bears, it's just we
523
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.119
always think, you know, it's it's always you're always gonna
524
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:11.559
have a good defense. I don't know what it is,
525
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:14.079
it just always seems that way. But give me a
526
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:15.920
guy or too that the Texans really need to be
527
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:17.640
concerned about defensively this weekend.
528
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:23.160
Well, look, Montes Sweat is the real deal and an absolute.
529
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:24.240
Beast at defensive end.
530
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:28.640
That said, the Bears had ten quarterback hits, none of
531
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:30.359
them by Montes Sweat.
532
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.000
Last year, the Bears didn't have their tenth quarterback hit
533
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:38.200
until Week four. They have this kid, Darryl Taylor from Seattle.
534
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:40.079
They traded for Daryl Taylor.
535
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.279
That's a kid in a contract year who is highly,
536
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:47.440
highly motivated, and he is a pure speed edge rusher.
537
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:50.319
He's a poor man's Von Miller in terms of style.
538
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:52.519
The Bears have had nobody like that.
539
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:54.960
So all of a sudden, you got an actual threat
540
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:58.119
on that other end, which hopefully will make Montes Sweats
541
00:25:58.119 --> 00:25:59.279
work easier.
542
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:01.000
On this end. So that's one thing is to watch
543
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:04.039
Taylor and Sweat in terms of the defensive ends.
544
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:05.240
But look, we got.
545
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:09.200
Very two, very good, very sound middle linebackers, which is
546
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:11.799
pretty much all the Bears play with, which is TJ.
547
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:15.599
Edwards and Tremaine Edmonds, both free agent signings last year.
548
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.079
They're really good. Bears almost always play.
549
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.079
A nickel with Tyler Gordon out there as the fifth dB,
550
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.240
So look for those linebackers to be in the right
551
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.519
spot against Joe Mixon in the run game very very often,
552
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:28.960
and don't throw it.
553
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:29.920
Jalen Johnson.
554
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.000
Jalen Johnson signed for big money as a corner last
555
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:36.799
year and has comeback angrier, with an edge to prove
556
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:38.880
that he's worth it. He's not one of these guys
557
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:40.039
that gets paid.
558
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:41.759
And then sleeps. Jalen is angrier.
559
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:44.400
He was the number one ranked cornerback again in Week
560
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:46.559
one according to Pro Football Focus.
561
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:48.960
So, look, it's a very good secondary, and I.
562
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:51.160
Think it's got potential to be a top ten or
563
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:55.400
maybe top five defense overall. And we're excited about that defense,
564
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:57.680
and that's part of why we're not freaking out about
565
00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:00.000
Caleb production in terms of pure nuns.
566
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:03.559
Early on here, talking with Matt Spiegel six seventy to
567
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.200
score up in Chicago, Bears make their way down to
568
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.000
get ready to roll versus CJ. Stroud and his Taxans.
569
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.519
Think the Bears are bringing all orange. Know the jerseys
570
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:17.640
will be orange. Taxans will be dawning all white. So
571
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:21.759
we'll get some color rush aspects on Sunday night. All right,
572
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:25.480
We're looking at the injury report here, mostly clean. Couple
573
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:29.279
guys popped up most notably for us, starting Tidy End
574
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:33.880
Dalton Schultz. For you, however, two of your three receivers
575
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:37.920
and practice all week, are you concerned about the lack
576
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:40.519
of it? Hey, you didn't score any points offensively with
577
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:44.759
the two receivers last week. Your concern level if Roman
578
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:47.799
Duza and Keenan Allen can't go respectable.
579
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.839
It is vast. Our concern level is vast. Here's the thing.
580
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.440
We felt like Bears improved at wide receiver two and
581
00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:59.680
wide receiver three in the offseason. DJ Moore is terrific,
582
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:02.559
but now with two and three hurt.
583
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:06.519
Look. Tyler Scott was inactive last week. He will be active.
584
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:09.319
Devondre Carter is the return specialist.
585
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:13.079
He had seven targets in seventeen games played for the
586
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:14.720
Raiders last year, but.
587
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:17.279
He's gonna get used a lot as wide receiver three.
588
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:21.000
If both of those guys can't go, and then after
589
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:24.160
that Vayalas Jones Junior is not a wide receiver.
590
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:26.119
He might not even be active this week.
591
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:26.480
He is.
592
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:30.559
He's a big talking point in Chicago because he's an
593
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:32.799
explosive guy who's got very little that he can actually
594
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:35.759
do on the field. Ruled out of kickoff returns after
595
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:37.359
a fumble last week as well.
596
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:39.480
But here's the thing.
597
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:42.839
You're going to see a lot more of twelve personnel
598
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:45.200
with one back and two tight ends.
599
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:47.880
They signed Gerald Everett, they have Cole Comet.
600
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:51.119
Cole Comet had fewer than fifty percent of the snaps
601
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:52.000
played last week.
602
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.240
We think that is going to change. You might even
603
00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:55.799
see Marcedes Lewis.
604
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:58.240
The big dog Rodgers old guy up in Green Bay
605
00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:01.240
page forty of a blocking tight end.
606
00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:03.200
You might see some thirteen personnel.
607
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:04.799
I think the Bears are going to try to run
608
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:07.599
the ball and lean into double tight ends, maybe even
609
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:10.680
occasionally triple tight ends, and try to set some stuff
610
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:13.160
up that way. A lot of three wide receiver sets
611
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:16.519
and very few four wide receiver sets. Maybe also look
612
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:19.279
to get DeAndre Swift going out of the backfield as
613
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:20.119
a target.
614
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:23.599
Talking about Matt Spiegel six seventy up in Chicago, and
615
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:26.599
for some reason, he is an egg emoji on Twitter.
616
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.839
I don't know why on social media.
617
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:34.039
I tell you this, I'll tell you this. Look for
618
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.200
score afternoons. That's me for right now.
619
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.599
I got hacked on Twitter some freaking bitcoin thing, and
620
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:44.519
I'm like going through the dance that that website is
621
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:48.720
a colossal was I'm sure you know there is no
622
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:53.079
support in the Twitter or x universe anymore.
623
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:55.640
So I'm trying to sort that out. Four afternoons is
624
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:56.440
the best way to find me.
625
00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:58.519
Well, I meant to tell you I bought some bitcoins.
626
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:01.799
You owe me some money now I got duped into it.
627
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:03.680
Give me quick thought of.
628
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:06.160
Matt Abraflus because I've got a buddy who's a big
629
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.400
Bears fan and he's kind of mixed on him.
630
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:09.759
What's the win.
631
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:11.279
Loss record gotta be for him this year?
632
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.119
Because I get it's weird, like you're going You're gonna
633
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:15.000
go through the growing pains of Caleb Williams.
634
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:16.440
Maybe some ups and downs.
635
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:19.160
I mean, if it's seven and ten, is it depends
636
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:20.519
how it looks seven and ten?
637
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:21.880
Like, where are you.
638
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:24.440
On Aberflus, And you know, does he get a pass
639
00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:26.160
this year with having the rookie quarterback.
640
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:27.960
Yeah, that's a great question.
641
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:30.720
And I think I think seven and ten and it
642
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:35.559
looks real good. He's gonna be okay, but expectations are
643
00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:39.279
higher than that. And you know, nine and a half
644
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:42.559
is the win total out of Vegas, and I think
645
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.880
anything under nine and eight is gonna feel like a disappointment.
646
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:49.799
Here's the thing about Flues. He's a really good defensive
647
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:53.480
football coach. He's clearly a really good leader of men.
648
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:56.920
This entire roster has bought in, and they bought in
649
00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:59.759
last year along the way when things were really ugly
650
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:02.920
and MESSI they played their ass off in the last
651
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:06.200
seven games of the year, especially on defense, but even
652
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:06.920
on offense.
653
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:08.640
And he's so he's got those.
654
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:11.279
Players where they need to be in terms of playing
655
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:13.759
with a lather, playing with an edge every single week.
656
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.200
As a non offensive coach, you got to see you
657
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:20.640
got to see offensive improvement or else that's gonna come
658
00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:22.960
back on him. Shane Waldron is not a head coach
659
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:25.960
in making the new offensive coordinator, so there's always gonna
660
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:29.839
be questions about Ibra Flues's connection with with Caleb Williams
661
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:30.920
and with the offense.
662
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:33.079
But he's one of those guys.
663
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:35.279
He's sort of like a Dan Quinn, you know, who's
664
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:38.359
now got another job in Washington, who led very well
665
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:41.319
in Seattle but had to toil as a defensive coordinator
666
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:43.480
in Dallas before he got another chance. It's got a
667
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:46.960
time out well with offensive success for him to really
668
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.759
have any kind of long term stability. Same with a
669
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:51.559
guy like Sean McDermott and Buffalo.
670
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:53.599
Right as Josh Allen.
671
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:55.880
Goes, that's how it goes for McDermott, and that's how
672
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:57.119
it's gonna be for iber Flues.
673
00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:00.319
Well, you just say the Chicago wins up there. Keep
674
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:03.640
the damn eyes off our offensive coordinator. Bobby slowe slow
675
00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:06.160
is staying with us here in Houston where he has
676
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:07.559
a chance to vibe on the Super Bowl.
677
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:09.960
Oh, a couple things on that.
678
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:12.759
I work with Dave Wanstead. We had Wannie on yesterday,
679
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:15.839
as we do every week in person. Bobby Sloweck Senior
680
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:18.599
was his defensive coordinator when Jannie was the head coach
681
00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:21.000
of the Bears after Mike Ditka here in the nineties.
682
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:22.640
So we were talking about Bobby yesterday.
683
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:23.640
Here's the other thing.
684
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:24.920
I don't know if you guys are hip to this,
685
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:28.759
but the pure progression style of passing in terms of
686
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:32.119
teaching a quarterback to look across the field one two, three,
687
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:35.079
four five. Kurt Warner was on our show and was saying,
688
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:37.480
that's a really difficult thing for quarterbacks to learn. That's
689
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:41.400
what Caleb's learning. That's not what Bobby Sloweck Junior teaches CJ.
690
00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:43.759
Stroud Right, there's a big talking point for us this
691
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:46.000
week because we've watched Trubisky.
692
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:48.440
Learning fail, we watched fields learn and fail, and now
693
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:51.720
we're watching Caleb. CJ was so successful because.
694
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:55.759
He's reading defenders as opposed to reading pure progressions across
695
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:56.160
the field.
696
00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:57.640
Does that sound right, do you guys?
697
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.839
Yes, that's one of the things that CJ has developed
698
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:03.680
in and the transition was a little bumpy early on
699
00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:06.279
this end too. But CJ and Bobby sloa car and
700
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:09.319
Sapottico now, so we'd like to keep him around here
701
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:17.119
moving forward, all right, brother, We will continue to look
702
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:19.119
at what's going on Bears and Texans as the show
703
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.400
moves along. So happy to have Matt Spiegel six seventy
704
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:26.640

732
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:45.559
App much appreciation to Mass Spiegel's six seventy to score
733
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:49.960
there in Chicago, dropping by Next Up with Gordon myself
734
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:54.360
along with Connedy McGovern. Can't leave him out. Previewing from
735
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:58.079
a Beyer's perspective, Yeah, it sounded like he was trying
736
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:01.519
to talk himself into Kaylor Williams being a guy clearly
737
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:04.760
his way early and yes, CJ. Stroud started zero and
738
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.880
two last year before things started to get in the
739
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:11.280
right direction. Week three at Jacksonville. I wasn't high on
740
00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:14.400
Caleb even when he was winning the Heisman Trophy at USC.
741
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:19.440
I don't know. It's not his physical ability. I don't
742
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:22.840
know that he's a leader, and so now he must
743
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:28.039
try and master the decision making process. International Football League
744
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:33.000
in Week two versus Domiko. I refuse to believe Caleb
745
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:36.280
Williams in his second start, first started on the road
746
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:41.960
and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron are going to Outsmart Demiko
747
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.800
Ryans and Aziz al Shayad linebacker who has the green
748
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:49.880
dot communicating directly with Matt Burke and Demiko. So anyway,
749
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:51.800
that was one of the things that I parssed from
750
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:55.000
what Matt Spiego had to saying grateful that he dropped
751
00:35:55.039 --> 00:36:00.679
by excuse me Week three, I lie Week two Underway
752
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:05.400
International Football League, as two opponents of the Houston Texans
753
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:08.559
got it going last night Gordy in Miami, which given
754
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:12.320
the Tyreek Hills circumstance, has been the topic the conversation
755
00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:16.719
in every NFL city over the last week. Josh Allen
756
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:20.320
and his Bills came in Gordy. Josh Allen was four
757
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:23.079
to ozher on Thursday night football games in his career.
758
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:25.719
We now know that it's five to oh because the
759
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:30.920
Bills absolutely dismantled the Dolphins thirty one to ten. Bills
760
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:33.679
now two and zero. Many people believe the Bills could
761
00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:38.679
be a sneaky contender edging got Kansas City for an
762
00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:42.719
AFC crown the storyline though, gordeare as I come to
763
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:46.119
you in that game and there are several tentacles here
764
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:48.480
that impact us here in Houston and our quarterback that
765
00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:49.760
where's jersey number seven?
766
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:52.079
It wasn't even the game.
767
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:54.840
The game was over even before two of goes down
768
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:58.760
two or through three interceptions, including one for a touchdown
769
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:02.599
for the other team, which is crazy because we'll get
770
00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:05.039
to Devon h Chan here a little bit. When you
771
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:06.840
saw the video, Gordy, I don't know if you saw
772
00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:09.800
it live or not. Oh, whether I do to people don't.
773
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:14.440
Are you now scared for Tua and his NFL career? Yeah,
774
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:15.280
a lot of people are.
775
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:18.159
I mean that's there are people calling for today saying
776
00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:21.280
the NFL needs to step in and force him to retire.
777
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:25.000
You know, it's it's ugly. I don't know what you do.
778
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:28.119
I mean, the guy just signed a big fat contract. Yeah,
779
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.000
you know if he still wants to play. He still
780
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:33.599
wants to play. But I don't know, man, they got
781
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:36.159
you know, this thing, this thing with the stupid looking
782
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:40.599
you know, patt and helmet cap that they're proved to
783
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:42.920
let some people wear. Now you know there's a running
784
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:45.960
back or two wearing them some linemen have won. Yeah,
785
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:48.920
I think it's a real, real conversation for Tua and
786
00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:51.159
may I feel comfortable. You may think you look goofy,
787
00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:53.840
but dude, what's what's better looking?
788
00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:54.239
Goofy?
789
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:57.000
And you know, having your whole life ahead of you,
790
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:01.079
or you know, possibly being a tomato the next time
791
00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:01.880
you take a hit like that.
792
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:03.039
I do think it's fair.
793
00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:08.280
Yes, Tua has been officially diagnosed as concussed twice in
794
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:12.800
his NFL career. We learned it was also one in Alabama.
795
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:15.920
But it's not just the concussions for Toura. We know
796
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:20.119
he had the significant hip injury at Alabama. He had
797
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:23.719
the tight rope procedure on his ankles at Alabama. He's
798
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:27.880
had other injuries outside of concussion there in Miami. Tuur
799
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:31.920
is just not and it's interesting given how he's built.
800
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:36.239
He's shorter, compact, but he you know, he's not a
801
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:40.320
frail man, but he gets bent up. Even the hit
802
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:43.400
by of all people, it was DeMar Hamlin. Yeah, that
803
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:45.719
Demart Hamlin. You know, the guy that died on the
804
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:47.039
field and was resuscitated.
805
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:48.320
It was him.
806
00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:52.000
It wasn't even necessarily a helmet to helmet deal. It
807
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.599
was Tua's net got contorted in the back of his
808
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:58.639
head or the side of his head hits the ground
809
00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:01.920
in Miami, and you could see it his hand and
810
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:04.400
what's the term for it. H I saw there was
811
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:06.880
a post I had it just a moment ago from
812
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:11.480
one of the doctors here. It is Chris Nowinski, a
813
00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:16.480
CEO of Concussions. LF says that Toua's right hand clenching
814
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:19.320
into a fist and his arms shooting straight into the
815
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:26.000
air is a form of posturing indicating a loss of consciousness.
816
00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:29.119
I mean, if you I'm looking at an image right now,
817
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:32.639
email Football, I mean you see his hands begin to seize.
818
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:35.920
I mean Tua, he didn't know where he was. Gord
819
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.599
it Goodell, you can't let him go back out there.
820
00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:43.679
But it's not Rockey Gordell's decision. That's to Miami Dolphins.
821
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.239
Cour It's not right like the league. When I say Goodell,
822
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:49.239
Goodell is implementic of the league, the league, its owners,
823
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:53.079
the players association, everybody must come together and.
824
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:55.199
Go how about what are we doing here? How about Tua?
825
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:58.039
What you mean, how about he makes a decision? Players
826
00:39:58.079 --> 00:39:59.679
gonna want to play? That's just how this work.
827
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.119
That's silly. It's a certain point he's gotta admit.
828
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:06.400
You know, well you say, you say it's silly, and
829
00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:08.199
you know how I feel when you start getting into
830
00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:10.760
this space. I have to remind you we have to
831
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:14.320
maintain a respect for the man in this case that
832
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:18.599
are doing the thing. When you're out there, you have
833
00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:21.800
to have There are times I watch football now and
834
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:24.480
I go that looks dumb, like why would the human
835
00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:27.559
body do that? And then I remember, oh, Stan, you
836
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:30.280
used to literally go out there and try and break
837
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:33.480
things and all type. I've had multiple surgeries, I've done
838
00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:35.280
a'll think, never had a concussion, I don't believe.
839
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:35.920
Thank God for that.
840
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:39.519
But nonetheless, when you're in it, you have to operate
841
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:44.000
with a sense of superiority, invincibility.
842
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:48.960
You just that's the mindset. It's gladiatorial by nature.
843
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:51.079
By the way, I'm looking at a preview with Megano
844
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:53.599
Stallion Gladiator Too, coming out in November.
845
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:59.159
Can't wait to see that. Nonetheless, I don't know. He's
846
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:03.760
made seventy two million in his career. He's due, you know,
847
00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:06.800
if if he plays out this next contract, I think
848
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.639
it'll be like one hundred and sixty seven million or
849
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:10.199
something total.
850
00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:13.119
A month ago, to Us signed and received a forty
851
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:16.519
two million dollar signing bonus, making his minimum salary and
852
00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:20.719
total compensation this season just over forty three million.
853
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:25.719
Or do you I mean if you Dolphins, just say, dude,
854
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:28.599
Like if a d if you're gonna take off a
855
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:31.719
run and a defender gets in your territory, you have
856
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:35.400
to slide how like you already had the first down. Yes,
857
00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:36.440
it's in the middle of the field.
858
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:38.639
Yes, you can lose track of where you are in
859
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:41.199
the middle of the field as opposed to being outside
860
00:41:41.239 --> 00:41:44.039
the numbers to it, just get down. You have to
861
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.000
have some awareness. I don't give it, damn how much
862
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:49.159
gladiator you got pumping through your veins. Get down. You
863
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:51.480
owe that to your team. Listen, and I'm gonna say it.
864
00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:54.280
The game in Indianapolis on Sunday, c J scrown but
865
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:56.039
once and I wanted him to get.
866
00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:56.719
His ass down too.
867
00:41:56.840 --> 00:42:00.800
Why cause he's been concussed missing two games last season.
868
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:03.320
So these quarterbacks, that's making this bread.
869
00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:05.159
And certainly if you're in line to get the bread,
870
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:08.079
you gotta be thinking about all of that. This is
871
00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:10.079
courtesy of Spoll Track. As we wrap up, we'll talk
872
00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:12.800
more Texans to kick off the eleven o'clock. Eleven o'clock,
873
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:15.719
I excuse me, while a full recovery is the only
874
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:19.639
focus for two A here in response to questions about
875
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.960
his contract, the deal includes one hundred and sixty seven
876
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:26.679
million guaranteed four injury forty three of which has been
877
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:29.800
paid in twenty twenty four. If he's medically cleared to
878
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:34.280
return the football, Oh shoot, oh, here we go, he
879
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:37.239
will four go the remaining one hundred and twenty four
880
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:42.559
million guaranteed, barring a custom settlement. If he's medically forced
881
00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:46.119
into retirement, he has the right to collect the remaining
882
00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:48.480
one hundred and twenty four million, So money is not
883
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:51.280
the issue here. May our prayers and concern be with
884
00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:52.960
two of his family and his health.
885
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:57.239
My god, it's just a really.
886
00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:03.239
Funky scene, disappointing scene because the Miami Dolphins are at
887
00:43:03.239 --> 00:43:05.880
their best when two is at quarterback and his health
888
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:09.119
long term. Bro, it's two even in his thirties, yet
889
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:11.719
got so much more life to live. All right, let
890
00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:14.000
me step aside. I'm way over. We will push Connedy
891
00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:16.719
mcgovernor on the other side. Sports Talk seven ninety kicking

our status as your home for Houston sports Bears at
917
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:36.360
Texans Sunday night. Let's talk more about this. Shall we
918
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:40.840
Texans remain a six and a half point favorite? Right now,
919
00:44:41.960 --> 00:44:45.320
my eyes immediately go to the injury report, Gordy, But
920
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:48.639
before I do that, just in thinking about what Matt Spiegel,
921
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:50.679
who joined us in that ten and o'clock hour, had
922
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:53.159
to say, he's with six seventy the score.
923
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:55.960
Believe that's the Bears flagship up in Chicago.
924
00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:58.039
Reflecting on some of the things he had to say,
925
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:00.760
did anything jump out to you as we start this
926
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:03.239
Bears textan conversation in eleven o'clock house. I mean, they
927
00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:05.960
know they're gonna get their brain speed in Oh, they
928
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:06.480
know this thing?
929
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:10.239
Is it gonna be competitive? Man calling down here? Lust
930
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:10.519
than over?
931
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:10.840
C J.
932
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:11.400
Stroud?
933
00:45:11.480 --> 00:45:16.280
Well, if our girlfriend could be as attractive and smells nice,
934
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:20.239
and as smart and as careful, or just as he's like,
935
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:22.960
we hope caring, we hope it's we hope one day,
936
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:26.119
would you be CJ? Now there's one CJ. Stroud and
937
00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:28.599
he lives Hener, Houston. He's gonna have a white jersey.
938
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:30.440
I was gonna have number seven on it on Sunday.
939
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:31.280
I'm actually surprised.
940
00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:33.719
I'm looking at USA today they had some of their
941
00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:35.400
experts make game picks in this one.
942
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:35.840
Hmm.
943
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:38.280
I don't know any of these guys in their in
944
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:40.119
their picks. I won't read their names, but I'll just
945
00:45:40.119 --> 00:45:42.920
give you this is. This is the USA Today expert picks.
946
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:48.920
Texans twenty six twenty one, HM, Texans thirty to twenty. Okay,
947
00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:53.760
Texans twenty eight sixteen, Texans twenty five twenty.
948
00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:55.239
So everybody's picking the Texans.
949
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:59.840
So that two of them by yeah one square is
950
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:02.400
that actually double digits by two of those four and
951
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:07.320
the other two are actually they have the bears and
952
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:08.039
the points.
953
00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:09.639
Oh, you know what they're all saying.
954
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:13.840
They're saying, Caleb Williams isn't isn't gonna be as bad
955
00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:14.679
as he was week one.
956
00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:15.719
That was kind of what I was saying.
957
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:18.639
They're all predicting he picks it up this week, This
958
00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:20.760
guy says, Caleb at a rough showing in week one,
959
00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:22.679
but his redemption arc will come.
960
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:24.000
He'll pick it up this week.
961
00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:27.599
But like what makes them lead that, like what leads
962
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:29.559
them to believe that that's true or would be true
963
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:32.280
because you're so bad? Right, so he could pick it up,
964
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:34.880
But pick it up means what he has one touchdown
965
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:35.280
in one.
966
00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:37.760
Hundred and sixty four yards of touchdown, a pick and
967
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:40.599
thirty yards rushing, right, and that's still not that's not good,
968
00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:42.760
But it's better than the dog crap he did in
969
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:43.199
Week one.
970
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:44.039
All I care.
971
00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:46.559
About is wins and losses, and I don't believe this.
972
00:46:46.639 --> 00:46:48.960
And I'm gonna hold de Miko and his staff to this.
973
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:52.920
If they let Caleb Williams, in his second career start
974
00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:57.079
on national television, come up in NRG and get a
975
00:46:57.159 --> 00:47:01.280
dub versus a Demico Ryans led defense with Danil Hunter
976
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:04.199
and Lord let us hope Jimmy Ward can be better
977
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:07.119
and Aziz as Shy and Na's will Anderson Jr. And
978
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:11.000
there's Derek Stingley Junr. Like no, no, no, no, I'm
979
00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:13.639
not saying that, Right's the NFL guys are gonna make plays.
980
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:17.159
I'm not out of my mind there, but this should
981
00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:19.159
be an absolute bleak kicking.
982
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:20.519
They really should.
983
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:22.920
Well, I think you do have to think now it's
984
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:25.039
to Caleb Williams was the number one pick in the draft,
985
00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:26.119
and so was Bryce Young.
986
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:30.000
What does that mean? So was Johnny Matt Johnny Man said,
987
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:30.800
what not being funny?
988
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:34.119
Okay, you think Week three last year in Jacksonville. You
989
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.239
think Trevor Lawrence and they're not going, We're not about
990
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:39.320
to let this damn rookie from Houston come in here
991
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:40.360
and beat us in our house.
992
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:44.559
But look, CJ, through two starts a year ago looked
993
00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:48.039
better on tape than what we saw from Caleb Williams
994
00:47:48.079 --> 00:47:51.400
week one. So no, people weren't saying that about CJ
995
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:52.960
because they looked.
996
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:55.840
Two starts last year are two touchdown passes, and it's
997
00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:57.239
two more than Caleb passed.
998
00:47:57.400 --> 00:48:00.119
Also, look at the passer rating. Also look at the QBR.
999
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:03.199
Also look at the touchdown and interception ratio. Also look
1000
00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:07.639
at the yards per tempt. CJ played better ball than
1001
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:10.760
Caleb has thus far. Now that's last year. This is
1002
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:14.119
this year. All I care about is what are they
1003
00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:18.000
going to do. I think they should pressure the But
1004
00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:20.239
Jesus so think about this right, And I'm looking at
1005
00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:24.159
the injury report. Keenan Allen and Roman Donzay, two of
1006
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:28.760
their big three wide receivers, hadn't practiced Tuesday nor Wednesday.
1007
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:32.760
We'll see if they go today, but if they go,
1008
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:35.800
they're at least not at full strength. So you've got
1009
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:41.519
a wounded wide receiver corps and then it's Demico Ryan's
1010
00:48:41.559 --> 00:48:44.320
defense going up against that crew. What I would do
1011
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:49.719
is I would absolutely bring as much pressure as humanly possible.
1012
00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:51.880
I'm in position to bring pressure.
1013
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:54.280
Why because I can go goard Keenan Allen and Roma
1014
00:48:54.360 --> 00:48:57.320
Doonsay in man coverage. I can let Jimmy Ward or
1015
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:00.159
Kaylen Bullock or maybe even if it's Peatree, but I
1016
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:02.679
doubt it. I can let Eric Murray or somebody else
1017
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:05.960
play center field safety while I get as many dudes
1018
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:08.559
around the line of scrimmage and we're gonna bring some pressure.
1019
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:11.039
I'm gonna hit Kayler Williams as if it's me, and
1020
00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:13.360
I'm going to go down with Kayler Williams in his
1021
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:16.159
second start. If he can be precise with the football
1022
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:19.920
with consistency, and he can be all platform and complete
1023
00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:24.159
throws multiple levels, I'm cool. If I'm Demko, I'm throwing
1024
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:27.559
everything at him to confuse his but he will turn
1025
00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:30.800
over the football. And I think Kayler Williams, because it's
1026
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:33.360
in his pedigree, I think I don't think he's a dog.
1027
00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:35.800
You know, we talk about that all time, the Lambititons
1028
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:37.400
and those guys in the Texas locker room they talk
1029
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:40.039
about dogs. I don't think Kayler Williams is one. I
1030
00:49:40.039 --> 00:49:43.400
think he's emotionally fragile from an NFL and a quarterback
1031
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:46.079
standpoint pressure him and I think he will lay.
1032
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:49.639
Down, Yeah, take away his man person. He might start
1033
00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:52.880
screaming or whatever. I was gonna say something about his appearance,
1034
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:55.239
but I don't need to do that. So and I'm
1035
00:49:55.239 --> 00:49:57.639
miss serious in that. Now, when we listen to Mats Speaker,
1036
00:49:57.719 --> 00:49:59.360
you know those players are gonna be giving him stuff
1037
00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:01.679
about that, right, come on, and we said it too.
1038
00:50:01.719 --> 00:50:04.119
I mean Chicago, you know there was stuff made about him.
1039
00:50:04.239 --> 00:50:07.800
He paints his nails. If he wins at Chicago, they
1040
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:11.079
would they, like I said, like, you'd have big guys
1041
00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:13.880
with beer bellies painting their fingernails, going, let's go Caleb.
1042
00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:16.360
It's all about how he performs. If he performs well,
1043
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:19.159
they're gonna love him. If he doesn't. I mean, it's
1044
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:21.800
a rookie season, so you can never judge your book,
1045
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:25.480
you know, one year into uh, one year into a career.
1046
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:27.519
But I mean for Bears.
1047
00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:29.239
Fans like, look, they were lucky, they were lucky to
1048
00:50:29.239 --> 00:50:31.960
get a win Week one. He's got to play better.
1049
00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:32.400
This week.
1050
00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:35.719
And if you're the Texans, Jimmy Ward, Derek Stingley, those guys,
1051
00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:38.440
you gave up some big pass plays Anthony richardson last week.
1052
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:41.360
You cannot let that happen this week with Caleb Williams.
1053
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:42.440
You just can't.
1054
00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:45.599
Yeah, I agree with you. Today, I'm reading some tweets
1055
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:48.440
that come in. We will half score predictions. On the
1056
00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:53.639
other side, I just Demiko, I'm going to have to
1057
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:56.719
say some uncomfortable things on Monday morning if we come
1058
00:50:56.760 --> 00:51:00.119
in here and Caleb Williams has ripped them for two
1059
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:05.159
hundred and fifty yards three touchdowns, even if it's one pick,
1060
00:51:05.239 --> 00:51:08.360
three toes, one pick a passer rating of one point forty,
1061
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:11.639
and I mean, he's just like, yeah, I'm no, no, no, no, no.
1062
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:14.679
I refuse to accept that, and I'm gonna do this
1063
00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:16.840
and we'll continue this conversation. On the other side, Gordon,
1064
00:51:17.519 --> 00:51:18.480
I'm gonna look at CJ.
1065
00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:19.039
Stroud.
1066
00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:20.079
C J.
1067
00:51:20.199 --> 00:51:22.519
Stroud, you will get called to the carpet, sir if
1068
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:25.719
you let a second in his second start, a rookie
1069
00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:28.119
quarterback come up in your crib. But he has the
1070
00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:32.199
responsibility of out playing the other quarterback. That's how this works.
1071
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:35.840
Of Bill parcells ism. Our defense must outplay theirs, and
1072
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:37.760
I quarterback must outplay theirs.
1073
00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:39.519
Everything else is in the wash.
1074
00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:43.440
I believe that I have seen that play out throughout
1075
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:47.760
the course of my football prowess, CJ.
1076
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:48.280
Stroud.
1077
00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:51.079
If Cayler Williams goes out there in balls, you better
1078
00:51:51.159 --> 00:51:54.880
ball harder. That's the expectation. Letting nobody come up in
1079
00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:57.440
your crib in this second, Chris start, let's take some
1080
00:51:57.480 --> 00:52:00.639
phone calls talking Texans Bears seven one three two one
1081
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:05.039
two five seven ninety. Speaking of CJ, I think CJ
1082
00:52:05.159 --> 00:52:07.719
is gonna go do work. I'm since send something like
1083
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:11.880
three touchdowns from Stroud. Maybe you feel like Joe Mixon
1084
00:52:11.960 --> 00:52:13.519
is gonna be on the ground and he'll get over
1085

Matt Thomas and Ross Virial coming your way in about
1114
00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:49.960
forty two minutes Matt Thomas is in studio, popped in
1115
00:53:50.039 --> 00:53:52.159
to say hello to us this morning. Hello to you all.
1116
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:54.239
Thank you so much for hanging out with us. For
1117
00:53:54.320 --> 00:53:56.719
those that have us preset number one in the automobile,
1118
00:53:56.719 --> 00:53:59.880
we appreciate it. It's a Friday. Some of you Chicagoans
1119
00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:03.599
in town. I know you're eavesdropping, trying to get it,
1120
00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:05.119
trying to steal some magic.
1121
00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:06.960
How can we upset the Texans?
1122
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:09.480
It's the National Football League, and I will give it
1123
00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:12.960
its appropriate respect, Gordon, but you know you're coming down
1124
00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:16.760
here to the Striuhouse. We don't play that bs down here.
1125
00:54:17.159 --> 00:54:19.360
You barely got to win up in your own place.
1126
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:22.639
Come down here with a rookie quarterback. We will have
1127
00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:24.320
none of it. You didn't steal.
1128
00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:26.280
Let me just push back.
1129
00:54:26.360 --> 00:54:29.239
Oh you don't feel like maybe coming out with no
1130
00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:30.400
oil was leaking?
1131
00:54:30.519 --> 00:54:31.559
No?
1132
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:34.039
No, I got a two point win on them. No,
1133
00:54:34.519 --> 00:54:37.719
you got two point win. Get the dump button ready.
1134
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:39.239
I an't said that in a while. Get the dump
1135
00:54:39.239 --> 00:54:43.039
button ready, Connor, No, you won twenty nine to twenty seven.
1136
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:46.719
Team you're supposed to be way better than Indianapolis is
1137
00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:48.400
a quality football team.
1138
00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:52.440
They're not great. They're not Kansas City or San Francisco.
1139
00:54:53.239 --> 00:54:56.960
But that is a nine ten win football team. It's
1140
00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:00.519
a good team. And we went on the road week one,
1141
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:03.320
which is damn near. If you look around the league,
1142
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:06.280
people out there treating it like a their preseason game.
1143
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:10.400
You win this game, something like nineteen seventeen. I'm coming
1144
00:55:10.440 --> 00:55:12.920
to Monday saying that oil is sleeking. You gotta get
1145
00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:15.480
everything checked over. That matters is if you win. We
1146
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:18.079
said the same thing last year about Kansas City. Oh,
1147
00:55:18.159 --> 00:55:20.599
Kansas City's not scoring like they used to. Kansas City's
1148
00:55:20.599 --> 00:55:23.239
taking some losses. Do Kansas City do they need Tyreek
1149
00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:28.159
Hallo one team that gets a pass the whole Tights.
1150
00:55:28.559 --> 00:55:30.960
What did Aaron Rodgers say? What three years ago or
1151
00:55:31.000 --> 00:55:34.519
four years maybe now? Relax, CJ.
1152
00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:40.119
Stroud and Demico Ryans have earned enough if they win closely,
1153
00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:44.119
I'm going to say, at least they won, We'll move
1154
00:55:44.119 --> 00:55:46.719
forward with the conversation. At that point. I want to
1155
00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:50.320
add just a little bit of context here. I'm looking
1156
00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:54.639
at another tweet from Sunday Night Football on NBC. It
1157
00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:58.199
says who starts two to zero on the season, Bears
1158
00:55:58.239 --> 00:56:01.400
hoping to do so for the first time since twenty twenty.
1159
00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:05.440
The Texans have not started too and oher since twenty sixteen.
1160
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:10.920
The betting odds say that the Texans will emerge victorious there.
1161
00:56:11.119 --> 00:56:14.199
I would agree with that sentiment. C J.
1162
00:56:14.559 --> 00:56:16.719
Let's go to work. And you know, I.
1163
00:56:16.760 --> 00:56:20.760
Listened to Bobby Sloyk and I heard Demico earlier this week.
1164
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:24.400
They know that things were not as Chris, not as
1165
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:28.159
button up, especially on the offensive line. Now I've said
1166
00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:32.199
this Bears defense is no name. Matt Spiegel, a sixt
1167
00:56:32.239 --> 00:56:34.000
seventy the Score joined us and he brought up a
1168
00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:36.920
point that I hadn't thought about. I have the statistics
1169
00:56:36.920 --> 00:56:39.960
in my hand right here from week one. This is
1170
00:56:40.480 --> 00:56:41.360
Oh no, that's the wrong one.
1171
00:56:41.360 --> 00:56:42.039
Where's is oh?
1172
00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:42.519
Here? It is?
1173
00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:48.280
This is the Bears Titans. The Bears best defensive player
1174
00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:52.960
is Montell Switt. He didn't have a sack, a quarterback hit,
1175
00:56:53.199 --> 00:56:55.199
he didn't have a tackle for a loss, he didn't
1176
00:56:55.199 --> 00:56:58.639
have a pass defense. So they put the beat down
1177
00:56:58.679 --> 00:57:01.440
on Tennessee, who is a talented roster in their own
1178
00:57:01.519 --> 00:57:05.639
right without their best defender doing anything. Now, I remind
1179
00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:08.960
people that Jalen Johnson back there, he's former All Pro,
1180
00:57:10.360 --> 00:57:13.639
he's a good player. Manning up one of those corners.
1181
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:15.960
So we talked about it yesterday. They've got I think
1182
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:22.280
three second round defenders in that secondary in Chicago, Matt
1183
00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:24.119
Eberflu's defensive mind to head coach.
1184
00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:24.719
I do believe.
1185
00:57:25.400 --> 00:57:27.960
So I think there are going to be points that
1186
00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:31.360
we look at this matchup on Sunday and we go, okay,
1187
00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:36.679
three and out, maybe by CJ and the offense. Maybe
1188
00:57:36.760 --> 00:57:40.239
Joe Mixon starts in through the first half, Joe Mixon
1189
00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:43.960
only has thirty five yards rushing, maybe forty yards rushing,
1190
00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:45.920
and we go now, doesn't looked like last week.
1191
00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:48.599
It's going to change week to week.
1192
00:57:49.079 --> 00:57:53.199
I trust that slower Domico and CJ will figure it
1193
00:57:53.239 --> 00:57:56.519
out and they will make the necessary adjustments. So I'm
1194
00:57:56.599 --> 00:57:59.519
using the term trust. Do you have an issue with this, Gordon?
1195
00:57:59.760 --> 00:58:02.159
Have they earn that in your mind? Trust going into
1196
00:58:02.159 --> 00:58:05.960
this week two matchup in front of the nation. Yeah,
1197
00:58:06.039 --> 00:58:07.480
I mean against a bad opponent.
1198
00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:07.880
Yeah.
1199
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:12.239
But again, I'm just I was just bringing up it
1200
00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:15.000
wasn't all sunshine roses a week one.
1201
00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:19.079
It very rarely is. So what concerns you most?
1202
00:58:19.079 --> 00:58:20.880
If there was one thing I could ask you from
1203
00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:24.360
week one that makes you the most uncomfortable going in
1204
00:58:24.400 --> 00:58:26.960
the week too, that you think is likely to have
1205
00:58:27.360 --> 00:58:30.000
your leaky secondary. So you think they're gonna have three
1206
00:58:30.079 --> 00:58:32.079
bomb on betties, just throw some bleep up and see
1207
00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:32.519
what happens.
1208
00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:34.599
I mean, you do it to this guy, it's gonna
1209
00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:37.239
be very concerning. I don't see. I don't think that
1210
00:58:37.400 --> 00:58:38.000
happens again.
1211
00:58:38.280 --> 00:58:40.559
Matter of fact, I'm willing to put a very healty
1212
00:58:40.599 --> 00:58:42.400
gentleman's wage on that, you know what out on that.
1213
00:58:42.599 --> 00:58:44.960
Let's do a gentleman's agreement. Let's go to lunch whatever.
1214
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:49.199
They won't have three explosive plays will Chicago of fifty
1215
00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:50.039
yards or more?
1216
00:58:50.559 --> 00:58:51.519
That ain't happening.
1217
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:57.719
Think of the weapons they've got, probably not gonna play,
1218
00:58:57.800 --> 00:58:59.559
So that changes a little bit. It doesn't look good
1219
00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:03.639
for DJ More is pretty good when healthy. Keen Allen's
1220
00:59:03.679 --> 00:59:08.079
pretty good. Keenan Hellen is not healthy though Kole Cook
1221
00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:12.760
he hadn't practiced all week. Both is he limited.
1222
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:16.679
Both Keenan Allen and Roman Duneesa are both did not
1223
00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:20.599
practice yesterday and Tuesday. So I don't know how you
1224
00:59:20.599 --> 00:59:22.920
can say Rome might not play and then Keenan is
1225
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:23.400
gonna play.
1226
00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:28.159
Don't know somebody he met who is this?
1227
00:59:28.159 --> 00:59:33.199
This is uh south Lobo staying I got Texans twenty six,
1228
00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:34.280
Bears thirteen.
1229
00:59:35.679 --> 00:59:37.599
Oh, somebody else is very disrespectful.
1230
00:59:37.800 --> 00:59:40.840
Third Ward Duke hit me up at Stan sportsman, what's
1231
00:59:40.880 --> 00:59:44.400
up with this linebacker group? We clearly miss Christian Harris
1232
00:59:44.400 --> 00:59:48.760
because as he's as Shire looks trash emoji. I didn't
1233
00:59:48.800 --> 00:59:52.880
think his ease was trash. Mister, tackle can happen. It's
1234
00:59:52.880 --> 00:59:56.000
professional football. Sc he was second on your team in tackles.
1235
00:59:56.280 --> 00:59:58.320
I didn't think his ease was trash. That's a bit
1236
00:59:58.360 --> 01:00:02.800
aggressive for me. The FU the path special teams will
1237
01:00:02.800 --> 01:00:05.920
be better. They may not run the ball as well
1238
01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:09.559
as they did, but the ability to protect CJ, to
1239
01:00:09.679 --> 01:00:12.280
make adjustments. Certainly in the second half of ball games,
1240
01:00:12.480 --> 01:00:15.119
we know that Texas can close out ball games. To me,
1241
01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:19.079
this is about mentality. You want the you want the
1242
01:00:19.199 --> 01:00:22.679
league and the nation to believe that you are willing
1243
01:00:22.719 --> 01:00:27.599
to play bulleyball. Okay, and Sloyd was asked about that.
1244
01:00:27.639 --> 01:00:29.119
What would I see from Slow the other day?
1245
01:00:29.880 --> 01:00:29.960
Uh?
1246
01:00:30.119 --> 01:00:32.199
Sloyd said something here we go, let me have slowik
1247
01:00:32.239 --> 01:00:34.800
won on what's important about how physically they ran the
1248
01:00:34.840 --> 01:00:36.119
football in Week one?
1249
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:41.639
I think was really underrated about running the ball? Is
1250
01:00:41.679 --> 01:00:45.239
you just you you gain a power position with controlling
1251
01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:48.159
the clock, you know. I mean I felt like we
1252
01:00:48.239 --> 01:00:51.079
had multiple drives. We were on the field for it
1253
01:00:51.119 --> 01:00:55.119
felt like five plus minutes, you know, And for an
1254
01:00:55.159 --> 01:00:57.440
offense is really gratifying because I mean, you want to
1255
01:00:57.440 --> 01:00:58.079
be on the field.
1256
01:00:58.119 --> 01:00:59.159
That's that's when it's fun.
1257
01:00:59.400 --> 01:01:03.880
And for the defense, obviously, you know, when they're on
1258
01:01:03.920 --> 01:01:05.480
the sideline, that gives them a little juice, that gives
1259
01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:07.480
them a little energy, especially when they see the line
1260
01:01:07.480 --> 01:01:09.239
blocking the way they were, the Titans blocking the way
1261
01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:10.920
they were, and Joe running it how he was.
1262
01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:14.280
That's the philosophy. They're gonna try and run the ball.
1263
01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:17.480
This should be a physical ball game. They should absolutely
1264
01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:20.559
bloody the nose of the Chicago Bears play action off
1265
01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:22.360
of that and the Digs tanking, Nico go do what
1266
01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:25.320
they do. Am I concern that Dalton Schortz looks like
1267
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:29.079
he's not gonna play, yep, I don't look concerned about that.
1268
01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:31.800
I just like having some security, you know, how I go.
1269
01:01:32.159 --> 01:01:35.400
We talked astros hashtag arm insurance. Well, I like my
1270
01:01:35.480 --> 01:01:38.920
quarterback to have some insurance. A bat that can catch
1271
01:01:38.920 --> 01:01:41.519
out of the backfield. Joe mixing and Dalton Shortz allow
1272
01:01:41.559 --> 01:01:44.199
me to do that. Now, Revin Jordan, I don't have
1273
01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:47.679
any questions about his ability to receive the football. Now,
1274
01:01:47.719 --> 01:01:49.920
what do they do with him? Case Stover's gonna have
1275
01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:51.400
his hands for he's gonna have to be in the
1276
01:01:51.400 --> 01:01:54.519
backfield playing fullback. Are they gonna use some formations where
1277
01:01:54.519 --> 01:01:56.760
he's full back and he's gonna have to be tight
1278
01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:59.639
end too. That looks to be the situation. I haven't
1279
01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:02.519
seen him do it yet. Mean, he played both of
1280
01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:04.559
those with the number of reps that could come on
1281
01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:10.159
Sunday for Stover if indeed he a day off without
1282
01:02:11.400 --> 01:02:12.199
Dalton Schultz.
1283
01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:14.079
I did.
1284
01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:17.199
If you watch the San Francisco Jets game on Monday night,
1285
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:20.760
Kyle Hughescheck ran a beautiful wheel route out of his
1286
01:02:20.840 --> 01:02:23.800
full back position down the sideline. This the huge yards
1287
01:02:23.840 --> 01:02:26.880
had to get like twenty twenty five yards maybe, and
1288
01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:30.119
it put them right there in a gold situation from
1289
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:33.400
what I recall, maybe that's in Bobby Sloyd's playbook as well.
1290
01:02:33.480 --> 01:02:35.599
So those are just the dynamics that I look at.
1291
01:02:35.599 --> 01:02:37.000
By the way, the other thing we didn't talk we
1292
01:02:37.039 --> 01:02:39.280
talked about the two of dolphins ANGLEI side. We didn't
1293
01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:42.119
really touch on. The Bills are two and zero, and
1294
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:44.480
we were talking about Bills might take a big step
1295
01:02:44.480 --> 01:02:47.039
back and losing Stefan Diggs. They look pretty damn good.
1296
01:02:47.119 --> 01:02:50.119
That's a team you have to worry about. The texts
1297
01:02:50.159 --> 01:02:51.840
are better in the book, better than the Bills. Okay,
1298
01:02:51.840 --> 01:02:53.400
well the record, what you lose this week? They have
1299
01:02:53.440 --> 01:02:55.360
a better record than you. Yeah, I'm not worried about
1300
01:02:55.360 --> 01:02:57.400
that right now. Right now, worried about beating the VG's
1301
01:02:57.440 --> 01:02:58.440
side of Chicagos.
1302
01:02:58.480 --> 01:02:58.719
Cook.
1303
01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:01.599
I am and off too. Cook looked good. Three touchdowns
1304
01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:04.960
for him last night. Josh Allen looked like Josh Allen.
1305
01:03:05.000 --> 01:03:07.719
He's going to be an MVP candidate every year he's healthy.
1306
01:03:08.639 --> 01:03:11.639
But over the course of seventeen games, I don't know
1307
01:03:11.679 --> 01:03:15.159
that Buffalo scares me. Okay, use the teens a better
1308
01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:17.440
three weeks they come as we get the Dolphins.
1309
01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:17.760
Tua.
1310
01:03:18.159 --> 01:03:19.920
If I were a betting man right now, I would
1311
01:03:19.920 --> 01:03:23.159
say Tua is not the quarterback when the Texans and
1312
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:26.840
the Dolphins play. Whatever week that is fourteen whatever? That
1313
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:29.840
is a backup? Who's that that went in there?
1314
01:03:29.920 --> 01:03:30.360
Last night?
1315
01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:30.559
Oh?
1316
01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:34.639
Skyler Toms, skylear Time's okay? What week is a week? Fifteen.
1317
01:03:34.719 --> 01:03:37.679
Dolphins come here for a noon game December fifteenth. All right,
1318
01:03:37.760 --> 01:03:40.320
let's stepisode come back. We'll continue talking Texans, some other
1319
01:03:40.360 --> 01:03:42.320
things I want to get to. Let's take some phone
1320
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:44.960
called seven one three two one two five seven ninety
1321
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:48.719
Bears Texans. It's we're nearing prediction time, kJ and Cyprus.
1322
01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:50.840
You're next up, Sports Talk seven.
1323
01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:55.440
Ninety next seth continues. It was not having text. Okay,
1324
01:03:55.559 --> 01:03:56.719
here's stat or fleet.
1325
01:03:57.039 --> 01:04:00.760
Chris Cordy, he's not having tax Okay, suck seven.
1326
01:04:01.519 --> 01:04:05.320
Let's get back to the business talking Texans, Bears, Astros
1327
01:04:05.320 --> 01:04:09.239
in action from Anaheim. That'll be tonight shortly after eight
1328
01:04:09.400 --> 01:04:14.559
thirty three game series versus the Angels. For now, though,
1329
01:04:14.599 --> 01:04:17.480
we get ready to welcome the nation. I've seen all
1330
01:04:17.480 --> 01:04:21.280
the social media posts, all type of festivities going on
1331
01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:27.239
in the city. Damn Chicagoan's making their way in. If
1332
01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:28.960
I was them, I'd come to Houston for a ball game.
1333
01:04:28.960 --> 01:04:29.119
Two.
1334
01:04:29.159 --> 01:04:31.440
I come to Houston anytime. It's great city, best city
1335
01:04:31.440 --> 01:04:34.239
in America. Nonetheless, your team's gonna take an l Why
1336
01:04:34.440 --> 01:04:37.920
we have CG and Demico, you have ebra Flus and
1337
01:04:38.079 --> 01:04:40.840
we'll see what Williams is. I am not as high
1338
01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:43.199
on him, as everybody else is. And I said that
1339
01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:45.400
coming into the draft, would I have taken him number
1340
01:04:45.400 --> 01:04:48.079
one overall? Yes, I like him better than everybody else.
1341
01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:51.920
Probably would have taken a peek at Michael Pennix, But
1342
01:04:52.079 --> 01:04:54.360
I understand some of the concerned folks had there. No,
1343
01:04:54.400 --> 01:04:56.079
I wouldn't have taken Pennix at one. I would have
1344
01:04:56.079 --> 01:04:58.880
traded out of the spot and taking penicis perhaps all right.
1345
01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:01.559
So nonetheless, Bears have what they have. Week one has
1346
01:05:01.559 --> 01:05:05.000
coming gone, Week two is here. The Buffalo Bills now
1347
01:05:05.039 --> 01:05:08.039
two to zero on the season. Miami Dolphins to a
1348
01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:12.360
concuss he had three turnovers and it was sad because listen,
1349
01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:14.280
if you watch, can I just pause for a little
1350
01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:16.159
bit on the Texans piece of that Gordon? If you
1351
01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:20.440
saw the game last night Thursday Night Football, Mike McDaniels,
1352
01:05:20.480 --> 01:05:23.880
who he and Floyd shared some of the same philosophies
1353
01:05:24.239 --> 01:05:29.320
coming from up under Kyle Shanahan, it was so sexy
1354
01:05:29.599 --> 01:05:33.440
the offensive sets that the Miami Dolphins ran last night.
1355
01:05:33.599 --> 01:05:37.199
Buffalo too. Joe Brady was the OC for Buffalo. He
1356
01:05:37.280 --> 01:05:40.599
got the job halfway through the season last year when
1357
01:05:40.599 --> 01:05:43.159
they booted Who's My guy? Got booted out of there.
1358
01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:44.960
I forget the kid that got booted up out of there,
1359
01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:46.800
and they gave it to Joe Brady. Joe Brady was
1360
01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:48.920
in Carolina with Matt Rule before they blew up that
1361
01:05:48.960 --> 01:05:52.679
whole thing. Nonetheless, for me with Joe Brady, Buffalo's offense
1362
01:05:52.719 --> 01:05:56.360
looks good too. But Davon a Chan was rolling no
1363
01:05:56.519 --> 01:06:00.599
Raheem Moster Waddle and Tyreek Hill were doing what they do.
1364
01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:03.519
That Dolphins offense is sick.
1365
01:06:04.079 --> 01:06:08.960
The formation, yeah they were until so you're also for
1366
01:06:09.920 --> 01:06:12.920
your offense can look good, but if your quarterback is
1367
01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:13.880
then giving.
1368
01:06:13.599 --> 01:06:16.639
The ball away, it negates all of that cute stuff
1369
01:06:16.679 --> 01:06:19.079
that s your quarterback's the offense.
1370
01:06:19.199 --> 01:06:19.559
I mean.
1371
01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:24.000
Outside of the quarterback turning the ball over. If you
1372
01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:27.880
watch how they matriculated down the field, the offensive sense
1373
01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:31.960
were attractive. Let us hope Bobby Slouk has some of
1374
01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:34.360
that in his bag as well. They do things a
1375
01:06:34.360 --> 01:06:37.239
little different, but there are some similar philosophies. Ken Dorsey,
1376
01:06:37.519 --> 01:06:40.920
we Ken Dorsey got murder. Yeah all right, so I
1377
01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:45.440
think this is going to be about running the ball,
1378
01:06:46.679 --> 01:06:50.360
controlling the clock, being willing to ug it up, and
1379
01:06:50.480 --> 01:06:55.280
pressuring the Bejesus out of Cayleb Williams. That's what I
1380
01:06:55.280 --> 01:06:58.280
would do. I would limit the amount of times I
1381
01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:01.360
exposed CJ. Now, CJ, be clear, because I hadn't said this.
1382
01:07:01.800 --> 01:07:04.880
Oh and I had this nugget. Where is this at?
1383
01:07:05.440 --> 01:07:07.840
The Bears have one of the best pass defenses in
1384
01:07:07.880 --> 01:07:11.639
the NFL and tied for the league lead in interceptions
1385
01:07:11.639 --> 01:07:15.960
in twenty twenty three. They intercepted Levis twice last week.
1386
01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:16.800
CJ.
1387
01:07:18.079 --> 01:07:21.039
Do not put the ball in Harm's way if you
1388
01:07:21.079 --> 01:07:25.679
don't have to. These dudes wearing orange jerseys will take
1389
01:07:25.679 --> 01:07:28.480
away the football. This is not one of those games
1390
01:07:28.519 --> 01:07:32.360
to show how great and excellent you are. Master the boring.
1391
01:07:33.199 --> 01:07:36.519
When it's there, take it, hand the ball off, check
1392
01:07:36.559 --> 01:07:40.639
the ball down, throw the ball away up, punt is okay.
1393
01:07:41.440 --> 01:07:43.880
Does not be super cute and start to trying to
1394
01:07:43.920 --> 01:07:46.360
emulate where Anthony Richardson was a week ago.
1395
01:07:46.599 --> 01:07:47.880
If it's there, take your shot.
1396
01:07:48.920 --> 01:07:51.880
But if you're being overly aggressive here, they will take
1397
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:55.400
this ball away. Go to the phone lines. I want
1398
01:07:55.400 --> 01:07:57.079
to try to run the football. Did I need to
1399
01:07:57.079 --> 01:08:00.400
remind you remember where DeAndre Swift falls last year? Last
1400
01:08:00.480 --> 01:08:03.639
year Swift was did he come he was at the Eagles? Yeah,
1401
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:04.760
he was Philadelphia Eagles.
1402
01:08:04.840 --> 01:08:06.719
You know he did in Week two of last season
1403
01:08:07.800 --> 01:08:11.920
versus who was a win against the Minnesota Vikings.
1404
01:08:12.159 --> 01:08:13.239
And what is Swift to get done?
1405
01:08:13.360 --> 01:08:16.359
Twenty eight carries, one hundred and seventy five rushing yards
1406
01:08:16.359 --> 01:08:19.079
and a touchdown. Not worried about DeAndre Swift, Okay, I'm
1407
01:08:19.079 --> 01:08:22.760
just leading you know he bottled up week one. You're
1408
01:08:22.800 --> 01:08:25.239
talking about getting after Caleb Williams and I Follo in Chicago.
1409
01:08:25.319 --> 01:08:26.880
I'm going we need to run the football. Of course
1410
01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:30.399
they're gonna try. But once you bottle the run game up,
1411
01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:32.560
you put the ball in his hand. I'm going, Look,
1412
01:08:32.600 --> 01:08:34.439
the Texans did a good job slowing down Johns and
1413
01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:36.640
Taylor week one. I don't think they can do it again.
1414
01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:38.000
Let's let's go right.
1415
01:08:37.920 --> 01:08:39.920
Up the gut out of them. That would be a mistake.
1416
01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:42.640
Eba Fleus, you will play right into my plan. Bother
1417
01:08:42.760 --> 01:08:45.479
you up, make you one dimensional, and put pressure on
1418
01:08:45.520 --> 01:08:49.199
your rooky passer to give us an interception. Stingling those
1419
01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:52.439
boys Petrie pick six. Yeah, we've seen all that. I
1420
01:08:52.479 --> 01:08:55.199
think this game is gonna look a lot for different reasons.
1421
01:08:55.359 --> 01:08:57.439
But I think this game on Sunday is gonna look
1422
01:08:57.560 --> 01:09:05.039
like the Browns player off game nrg kJ and Cyprus.
1423
01:09:05.119 --> 01:09:07.319
What you thinking about this Bears Texas thing on Sunday
1424
01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:09.760
night at NRG as.
1425
01:09:09.680 --> 01:09:11.720
Usually why I love the show Fellas and them Jane
1426
01:09:11.720 --> 01:09:14.800
to go. I'm gonna say this real quick. Well, first
1427
01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:16.800
of all, the speech is to speak directly to the
1428
01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:20.640
question y'all posed earlier. If I had to split hands
1429
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:22.520
and find something on the team that I didn't like
1430
01:09:23.119 --> 01:09:25.359
last week being a wal off simply because I don't
1431
01:09:25.399 --> 01:09:27.560
think everybody was a seat because it was Week one.
1432
01:09:28.079 --> 01:09:29.760
But if I had to point to one thing, it
1433
01:09:29.800 --> 01:09:32.920
would it would be the safety. It didn't necessarily the
1434
01:09:32.960 --> 01:09:36.199
secondary in its entirety, but the safeties. But I liked
1435
01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:38.600
the adjustments those safeties made in the second half. So
1436
01:09:39.119 --> 01:09:41.680
that's not even a concern with me. But let's focus
1437
01:09:41.720 --> 01:09:43.520
on what they did last see. Everybody wants to bring
1438
01:09:43.600 --> 01:09:45.520
up what they did last week. The Bears were winning
1439
01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:47.920
the game last week. The reason why they won that
1440
01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:51.039
game is for a couple of reasons. Number One, Tennessee,
1441
01:09:51.039 --> 01:09:52.960
when they were able to control the ball, to controlled
1442
01:09:53.000 --> 01:09:55.039
the clock in the first half, they went into the
1443
01:09:55.079 --> 01:09:59.560
locker room seventeen to three. Second half Tennessee had seven possessions.
1444
01:10:00.199 --> 01:10:00.680
Two of those.
1445
01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:03.680
Three of those possessions ended in uh uh. Two of
1446
01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:05.359
them end of the turner was one of them in
1447
01:10:05.079 --> 01:10:08.039
the block punt, which is scored a touchdown. Do you
1448
01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:09.560
know what the other three possessions in the other four
1449
01:10:09.600 --> 01:10:13.319
positions end of the punts. Yeah, they had the ball
1450
01:10:13.520 --> 01:10:17.800
a total of less than thirty they ran in the
1451
01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:21.359
second head. You give a defense that much time to rest,
1452
01:10:21.600 --> 01:10:24.439
that defense be in Chicago's. If you give a defense
1453
01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:27.039
that much time rents and given office that much time
1454
01:10:27.079 --> 01:10:30.279
to manipulate the clock, anything is possible. You're not gonna
1455
01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:32.560
get that from Houston. Number one, You're like going to
1456
01:10:32.600 --> 01:10:34.159
get three turnovers out of cj s travel.
1457
01:10:34.640 --> 01:10:35.159
Number two.
1458
01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:38.039
You're not gonna go on the entire half and have
1459
01:10:38.239 --> 01:10:41.800
every position the best outcome being a punt with the
1460
01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:42.720
Houston Texas.
1461
01:10:42.880 --> 01:10:44.479
That's how Chicago won that game.
1462
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:47.520
Second, about what I said earlier, the safety has been
1463
01:10:47.520 --> 01:10:49.960
an issue. In order for the safeties to be a problem,
1464
01:10:50.159 --> 01:10:53.000
the bull has to give downfield, and Caleb Williams at
1465
01:10:53.039 --> 01:10:56.760
this point in his career doesn't have the confidence, nor
1466
01:10:56.800 --> 01:11:01.760
does he have the NFL nuances from the zick up
1467
01:11:01.800 --> 01:11:04.520
part to be able to consistently do that against us.
1468
01:11:04.680 --> 01:11:06.279
Can't you make that play a time or two?
1469
01:11:06.359 --> 01:11:09.279
Yes, but this is his second game in the NFL,
1470
01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:12.399
and with Caleb Williams later on the season, or Caleb
1471
01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:15.079
Williams two or three years from now, Yeah, I consider
1472
01:11:15.119 --> 01:11:17.039
the safety is a problem because he's been a league,
1473
01:11:17.119 --> 01:11:20.079
he's got the spirits, he's got confidence. Caleb Williams didn't
1474
01:11:20.079 --> 01:11:22.319
showed me anything last week that would make me think
1475
01:11:22.359 --> 01:11:25.680
that he can consistently treake advantage of our safeties next week.
1476
01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:28.000
So that's all I got to say. Fudders again, Letter Shoup,
1477
01:11:28.039 --> 01:11:31.439
appreciate you. K Jan Cyprus, I'm with you there. I
1478
01:11:31.640 --> 01:11:35.640
just why would you give Cayler Williams some benefit of
1479
01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:38.520
a doubt? I understand your point on Kayler Williams. I
1480
01:11:38.600 --> 01:11:41.039
like Dj Moore had him in Carolina where I covered
1481
01:11:41.079 --> 01:11:43.720
him there since he got drafted. DJ Moore is their
1482
01:11:43.800 --> 01:11:49.720
Nico Collins, meaning a very underrated productive wide receiver. But
1483
01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:52.119
with Keenan Allen nicked up as well as Roman Doon
1484
01:11:52.199 --> 01:11:55.960
saying I expect a much bigger game from Will Anderson
1485
01:11:56.000 --> 01:12:00.159
Junior and Danil Hunter, I think we'll get that and
1486
01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:01.279
Dairy stuff cleaned up.
1487
01:12:01.680 --> 01:12:02.960
I just do Now.
1488
01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:06.760
Maybe I'm being Maybe I got on Liberty what is it,
1489
01:12:06.840 --> 01:12:10.600
Liberty white and battle red glasses.
1490
01:12:10.640 --> 01:12:12.960
Maybe I'm just deep steal blue ten. I don't know.
1491
01:12:13.039 --> 01:12:17.760
Maybe I'm just want the Texans to get it cleaned up.
1492
01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:19.319
I just trust the Miko Will.
1493
01:12:19.640 --> 01:12:23.880
Did you see the there's an ESPN feature story on
1494
01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:28.279
Barriss cornerback Tyreek Stevenson off to a strong start.
1495
01:12:28.399 --> 01:12:32.439
They played this year. He did pick six on Will Levis. Yep,
1496
01:12:32.479 --> 01:12:34.359
and now he's ready for CJ Stroud.
1497
01:12:34.479 --> 01:12:39.359
You stop this, CJ. Now we'll say this. Play your game,
1498
01:12:39.680 --> 01:12:42.119
but just be careful. Don't put the ball on Harm's
1499
01:12:42.119 --> 01:12:44.119
way if you don't have to, he said, I want
1500
01:12:44.119 --> 01:12:46.199
to show what I showed last season. But Tom's tent
1501
01:12:46.359 --> 01:12:49.600
were not put in the work. We know you're about specialists,
1502
01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:52.520
but let's let's not test guys unless they have to. Gordon,
1503
01:12:52.520 --> 01:12:55.359
when we're watching Astros baseball over the weekend, some college
1504
01:12:55.359 --> 01:12:58.159
football on Saturday, and we'll be over at NRG on
1505
01:12:58.279 --> 01:13:02.520
Sunday some then, uh, look, carmonate, if something refreshed, it
1506
01:13:02.520 --> 01:13:03.279
makes me feel good.
1507
01:13:03.319 --> 01:13:06.439
You suggest, Well, we were at the ballpark yesterday and
1508
01:13:06.479 --> 01:13:08.520
there were plenty of Uh, there were plenty of Crawford
1509
01:13:08.560 --> 01:13:12.199
box and served out there at min and Main Park.
1510
01:13:12.239 --> 01:13:13.560
You know it, you love it when you see it
1511
01:13:13.600 --> 01:13:16.560
goes perfectly with Astros baseball. It's the Crawford Bock from
1512
01:13:16.560 --> 01:13:19.479
Carbock Browing. I especially love the big I don't know
1513
01:13:19.520 --> 01:13:21.439
if it's the inflatable whatever. It is right there on
1514
01:13:21.479 --> 01:13:24.319
the concourse by the escalators when you go up to
1515
01:13:24.399 --> 01:13:26.520
three eight level. You got the huge can there. I
1516
01:13:26.520 --> 01:13:28.239
always see people taking pictures in front of it. You
1517
01:13:28.319 --> 01:13:30.199
know why, because they want to show their friends. They
1518
01:13:30.279 --> 01:13:32.399
drink the Crawford back and it's badass. And it goes
1519
01:13:32.399 --> 01:13:35.319
perfectly with watching Astros baseball. It's a home run every
1520
01:13:35.319 --> 01:13:37.560
time with the Crawford bock. Gets you some Crawford boch.
1521
01:13:37.880 --> 01:13:40.159
Be some late night games the next two nights, last
1522
01:13:40.159 --> 01:13:43.079
West Coast road trip for the Astros before they come
1523
01:13:43.119 --> 01:13:45.800
back home next week. Make sure your fridge is stocked
1524
01:13:45.880 --> 01:13:48.560
up on plenty of Crawford bok throughout this weekend. Whether
1525
01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:51.439
you're watching the Texans college football or the Astros, do
1526
01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:53.399
so with the Crawford from Carbock Brewing.
1527
01:13:54.520 --> 01:13:58.520
Touchdown Texas Coast Stark Here you're next up.
1528
01:13:58.680 --> 01:14:02.560
With Stan Northfleet Chris Gordy of Sports Talk seven to ninety,
1529
01:14:02.720 --> 01:14:04.920
Houston's home of Longhort Football.
1530
01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:08.560
Oh my goodness, final segment of the week. Here for
1531
01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:10.600
next up, Matt Thomas Ross Very, I are coming your
1532
01:14:10.600 --> 01:14:14.000
weigh in about twelve minutes. Fleet, Gordy, Cannady, McGovern, thank
1533
01:14:14.039 --> 01:14:15.880
you for hanging out with us this week. Thank you
1534
01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:20.319
for hanging out with us today. Even you folks from
1535
01:14:20.399 --> 01:14:23.199
up Chicago coming down to the city take over my
1536
01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:26.800
ass h towns. You will show the appropriate level of
1537
01:14:26.840 --> 01:14:29.520
respect and that includes you too.
1538
01:14:29.399 --> 01:14:31.479
You Chicago. Do you know this going?
1539
01:14:31.520 --> 01:14:31.760
I don't know.
1540
01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:32.319
I've told you this.
1541
01:14:32.760 --> 01:14:35.399
So when you're a part of the Pro Personnel Department,
1542
01:14:35.560 --> 01:14:38.399
when I was up in Washington working for that organization,
1543
01:14:39.159 --> 01:14:41.960
this is two thousand and nine. So if you're a
1544
01:14:41.960 --> 01:14:46.039
pro scout, part of your responsibility, of the majority of
1545
01:14:46.079 --> 01:14:50.000
your responsibility is you go do advance scouting, so you
1546
01:14:50.119 --> 01:14:52.920
go to the cities that the team will be playing
1547
01:14:53.359 --> 01:14:57.319
later on, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks later. So
1548
01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:00.439
part of the scout's responsibility when and they get in
1549
01:15:00.479 --> 01:15:04.439
these markets. And this was before social media. You listen
1550
01:15:04.600 --> 01:15:09.079
to sports talk radio for any little personal tidbit storyline,
1551
01:15:09.119 --> 01:15:11.600
and then you must go present that information to the GM,
1552
01:15:11.960 --> 01:15:13.640
and then the GM takes that to the owner and
1553
01:15:13.680 --> 01:15:16.000
the coach and go, hey, this could be something, could
1554
01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:18.199
be nothing, and you'd be surprised how much stuff you
1555
01:15:18.239 --> 01:15:21.600
can find out. It could be injury related, somebody's having
1556
01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:25.159
a relationship or metal situation, somebody likes to go out
1557
01:15:25.239 --> 01:15:28.520
drinking that and part in that. Specific places you learn
1558
01:15:28.600 --> 01:15:31.000
little tibbit. So I know, y'all the Bears have been
1559
01:15:31.000 --> 01:15:34.039
listening to us, Gordon and whoever who we play next, Minnesota.
1560
01:15:34.079 --> 01:15:36.239
Minnesota's been listening to what we got going on too,
1561
01:15:36.279 --> 01:15:37.880
That's part of it. So I don't know if anybody's
1562
01:15:37.880 --> 01:15:39.279
ever told you all that, but that's true. You can't
1563
01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:41.920
see anybody in personnel. They'll tell you that, all right.
1564
01:15:42.159 --> 01:15:47.600
Wrapping up this game, I heard something Devin mccordy. He
1565
01:15:47.800 --> 01:15:51.680
was on What was he was gonna get up? And
1566
01:15:51.840 --> 01:15:55.319
he was being asked about Caleb Williams and what we
1567
01:15:55.439 --> 01:15:58.560
saw from he and the Bears in Week one and
1568
01:15:58.640 --> 01:16:02.600
more importantly, some things that Domico could take into this
1569
01:16:02.680 --> 01:16:06.880
game on Sunday night that might assist in allowing detextion
1570
01:16:07.039 --> 01:16:10.760
to emerge. Victorious. Devin mccaudy, what should Demiko be thinking
1571
01:16:10.760 --> 01:16:11.680
about doing the Kaya.
1572
01:16:11.520 --> 01:16:14.640
Williams Tason's defense where Jamiko ryans. They'll give you those
1573
01:16:14.640 --> 01:16:16.560
simulated pressures where everybody's in the line.
1574
01:16:16.560 --> 01:16:17.199
That's pretty much.
1575
01:16:17.239 --> 01:16:19.239
And we talked about this yesterday the NFL Live. The
1576
01:16:19.279 --> 01:16:22.119
one thing that the Titans did to Caleb Williams was
1577
01:16:22.319 --> 01:16:24.399
on the snap of the ball, they changed the picture
1578
01:16:24.560 --> 01:16:26.399
where he's sitting back there and it looks like it's
1579
01:16:26.399 --> 01:16:29.199
two high safeties and then ball snap. Now one safety
1580
01:16:29.239 --> 01:16:31.479
comes up. Five guys are coming at me under five
1581
01:16:31.520 --> 01:16:33.479
man pressure. Now where do I go with the ball?
1582
01:16:33.520 --> 01:16:35.520
And it's just like that's where some of those Aaron
1583
01:16:35.600 --> 01:16:38.119
passes went. Where Keenan Allen's open, but he throws it
1584
01:16:38.199 --> 01:16:39.880
just to the left and Keenan's going to the right.
1585
01:16:40.000 --> 01:16:41.239
So now he's going to have to do that.
1586
01:16:41.279 --> 01:16:43.319
Where what do you think the Houston Texas is gonna do?
1587
01:16:43.359 --> 01:16:45.600
They're watching that film, They're going to do the same thing.
1588
01:16:45.760 --> 01:16:48.039
Change the picture on them as much as possible and
1589
01:16:48.079 --> 01:16:48.600
make it hard.
1590
01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:53.239
Devin Corty get up courtesy of ESPN. When you hear
1591
01:16:53.319 --> 01:16:55.439
Devin say that, Gordon, anything come to mind? How you
1592
01:16:55.439 --> 01:16:57.600
feel about what he has is that Yeah.
1593
01:16:57.640 --> 01:16:58.319
I mean.
1594
01:17:00.119 --> 01:17:02.039
It's it's simple to go, oh, well they did this
1595
01:17:02.119 --> 01:17:03.520
last week, so the texts are going to do that
1596
01:17:03.560 --> 01:17:03.840
this week.
1597
01:17:03.880 --> 01:17:05.720
No, the Bears are going to change their approach. They're
1598
01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:06.800
going to do some different things.
1599
01:17:06.840 --> 01:17:09.239
So Caleb's going to learn to read defenses better in
1600
01:17:09.239 --> 01:17:09.560
a week.
1601
01:17:10.399 --> 01:17:13.800
I think they'll were they this is my question, were
1602
01:17:13.800 --> 01:17:16.279
they treating them with kids gloves week one where they
1603
01:17:16.279 --> 01:17:17.680
make it everything he's a kid?
1604
01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:18.159
What was this?
1605
01:17:18.359 --> 01:17:22.079
What was this completion or it was awful or not percentage,
1606
01:17:22.079 --> 01:17:24.159
but like three yards of completion? I think he had
1607
01:17:24.760 --> 01:17:26.760
And they said that went through a lot of the
1608
01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:29.560
NFL last week, a lot of the quarterbacks because belaying
1609
01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:33.880
everybody's going super safe and it's like everything short, everything's
1610
01:17:33.960 --> 01:17:36.720
dumped offs everything screen and you know, why do you
1611
01:17:36.760 --> 01:17:38.920
seven screen toilight scrimmage and all this kind of stuff.
1612
01:17:38.920 --> 01:17:43.479
It's like, you know, Caleb Williams was fourteen of twenty nine. Again,
1613
01:17:43.560 --> 01:17:45.479
I think they're look I would say this. I think
1614
01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:49.479
they're looking at the Texans film and going, oh, oh,
1615
01:17:49.600 --> 01:17:53.039
Anthony Richardson completed some shots down the field, Let's take
1616
01:17:53.079 --> 01:17:54.079
some shots down there.
1617
01:17:53.840 --> 01:17:56.399
You are hung up on this you really believe the
1618
01:17:56.439 --> 01:17:58.000
text and secondary is just trying it.
1619
01:17:58.279 --> 01:18:01.239
I don't think they're trashed, but I think they're not
1620
01:18:02.399 --> 01:18:04.680
revis Island last year.
1621
01:18:04.960 --> 01:18:07.319
Was there a single game that the Texans gave up
1622
01:18:07.359 --> 01:18:11.119
that much air yardage, meaning those three deep shots, three
1623
01:18:11.239 --> 01:18:13.439
plays of fifty yards a more all of last year?
1624
01:18:13.439 --> 01:18:14.960
Did we see it off the top of your head,
1625
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:18.279
I'm asking, right, well, it's different. Second, it came up
1626
01:18:18.359 --> 01:18:20.680
once and not because it's the first game we think
1627
01:18:20.920 --> 01:18:23.359
this is gonna happen with regularity as good as your
1628
01:18:23.399 --> 01:18:23.840
last game.
1629
01:18:23.960 --> 01:18:27.319
I just think that like that. To me, I'm just not.
1630
01:18:27.479 --> 01:18:29.880
Daving Nelson ain't walking through that door, or we don't
1631
01:18:29.880 --> 01:18:32.920
need him to, or Shaq Griffin or don't Thomas don't.
1632
01:18:33.399 --> 01:18:37.680
I'm just telling it's different guys back there. Clearly, yeah,
1633
01:18:37.720 --> 01:18:40.920
I'm just and clearly they stunk in with one. Look,
1634
01:18:40.960 --> 01:18:43.159
the Texans formula is already out there. We're gonna run
1635
01:18:43.159 --> 01:18:46.119
the ball with Joe Mixing. If they negate the run,
1636
01:18:47.239 --> 01:18:51.720
then we'll play action and dissect you with some other stunt. C. J. Stroud,
1637
01:18:51.760 --> 01:18:54.199
be mindful what you're doing with the football offensive line
1638
01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:59.000
protect I'm personally looking for, are you fake tough or
1639
01:18:59.039 --> 01:18:59.960
are you real tough?
1640
01:19:00.800 --> 01:19:04.479
Second half last week? That's real tough. I watched the
1641
01:19:04.520 --> 01:19:08.840
Indianapolis coach and what's perceived to be a defensive line
1642
01:19:08.880 --> 01:19:11.960
that is very much. They believe in a lot of movement,
1643
01:19:12.039 --> 01:19:14.600
they believe in a lot of games and stunts up front,
1644
01:19:14.680 --> 01:19:17.479
and you know they pride themselves on being physical.
1645
01:19:17.520 --> 01:19:20.039
You got prediction, of course I do. I'm not there yet.
1646
01:19:20.039 --> 01:19:21.479
I'm still going through what's happening.
1647
01:19:22.680 --> 01:19:24.840
I think the Texans are going to beat up the
1648
01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:28.159
Bears physically, move some dudes out of the way. I
1649
01:19:28.159 --> 01:19:30.479
think it's gonna be another big day for Joe Mixon
1650
01:19:30.600 --> 01:19:33.960
and or Damian Pierce. I don't expect Joe to get
1651
01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:38.279
thirty touches again. Maybe it's twenty and Damien gets ten,
1652
01:19:38.760 --> 01:19:41.960
But the formula is the same, whether it's Nico going
1653
01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:45.319
for one hundred plus or whether it's Step having two toes. Again,
1654
01:19:46.039 --> 01:19:49.680
the receivers are going to earn their checks. I don't think,
1655
01:19:49.720 --> 01:19:53.199
consistently with the rules of today's NFL, if the offensive
1656
01:19:53.239 --> 01:19:57.840
line protects I don't believe that overall Chicago can go
1657
01:19:57.880 --> 01:20:01.399
guard those receivers. Now that athletic line, you know, TJ.
1658
01:20:01.640 --> 01:20:04.560
Edwards and Tremaine Edmonds running around. Yeah, that gives me
1659
01:20:04.600 --> 01:20:12.800
some calls for pause. Score prediction is I'll give you
1660
01:20:12.920 --> 01:20:16.000
mind wi. Yeah, I'm vacillating between the blowout and close
1661
01:20:16.079 --> 01:20:18.840
gat Texans win thirty one thirteen. I had thirty one
1662
01:20:18.880 --> 01:20:19.520
in my head too.
1663
01:20:19.880 --> 01:20:22.600
What you got Connor twenty seven ten?
1664
01:20:23.680 --> 01:20:30.199
Okay, I'll take the Texans by I'll take the Texans
1665
01:20:30.239 --> 01:20:30.760
by ten.
1666
01:20:32.199 --> 01:20:35.239
I'm saying thirty to twenty.
1667
01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:37.960
Bears will move the ball a little bit and then
1668
01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:42.800
they will there be some field goals in there. But
1669
01:20:42.920 --> 01:20:45.239
CJ's tried to Dimico Rans. They'll go do what they do.
1670
01:20:45.399 --> 01:20:46.760
Thirty twenty Texans win.
1671
01:20:47.880 --> 01:20:48.319
