I have step in.

We gotta make sure you step into the party because
we're gonna be giving away tickets all week long. The

But we're gonna give you a chance to win, and
you need to take advantage.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Of guess what it is all ways? Free?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Mark, when it's free for me? And how many will
you take? I will take three, but we only gonna
give you two, so we're not gonna give you three.
Mark is trying to be greedy, but as always, we
want to get into this big week, this big week
between the Texas Longhorns and the Georgia Bulldogs. The conversations
are coming fast and furious, and everyone's trying to figure

(02:49):
out because tonight we have the college football playoff.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Rankings come on.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
That show is tonight, so we'll find out where Texas
finishes up in week two of the initial college football rankings.
So now we're starting to think about Okay, you said
it at the beginning of the year, Mark, after the
Florida game, everything is still in front of Texas. The
way that this schedule is setting up, the way my
checking them, my savings and everything is stepping up. You

(03:15):
got an opportunity to play for the big prize. Well
it starts this week a team that you have not
been able to figure out the Georgia Bulldogs. You get
to go into their home in Athens and get a
chance to take on a team that is pretty much
run this conference for some time.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Last year's defense was last year's defense. Those guys are
making Pro Bowl plays this season. Come on, Signetty, this
year Texas is the defense.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
I hear you.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
And now that you have, now that you have Mookie back,
that's gonna shure up that secondary and make Texas even
more effective.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Defense has a weakness.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
And I'm not the only one that has watched Georgia play,
and I watched them with intent. I wanted to see
where the deficiencies were, not just to see.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
A good Georgia game. I'm a lone one fan. I was.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
I was out there doing my uh uh yeah, I
was out there scouty, doing my uh what's the guy
named con stallions? I was out doing my counter stallions.
I was trying to get the cues. I was trying
to mimic the plays. They have a weakness. You can't

(04:39):
run against them. Uh they the run defenses. They have
a lot of pass rushers, So if you can keep
them in a situation where you run at them, they're
in trouble and inside the twenty they they don't they
don't work well together.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
They looked like Texas did three years ago. Wow, who man,
was that? How you get open like that three years ago?

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Okay, okay, now it's Texas time.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
All right, it's Texas time. Well. I really love the motivation.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
And also before we get into hearing from Coach Sark,
I want to give a special shout out to all
the veterans that are out there.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
It is Veterans Day. Thank you for your service.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
My grandfather, my brother in law, and so many of
my friends who have served in the military. I'm born
and raised on Fort Hood, so I totally understand what
it looks like and how it goes down. So I
appreciate all of you that have served for this United
States of America or wherever country you come from. Thank
you for your service, especially on the soil. But let's

(05:47):
hear from Coach Sark and his opening statement yesterday with
the media.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
I like we thought came at a very good time
force from a standpoint of getting some guys healthy.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Obviously we're pretty nicked up coming.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Out of the Vanderbilt game and getting our guys fresh,
you know, traveling kind of takes his toll on everybody.
So I do think really spirited, really engaging, you know,
meetings and practice this morning, which was.

Speaker 5 (06:15):
Good for us. Obviously, this week is a heck of a.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Challenge, you know, going to play at Georgia and the
respect that we have for that program, the job that
they've done, not only this season but over the years,
and what what coach Smart has done. I think they've
been to four consecutive SEC championship games. It's got a
couple of national titles. They're a very tough team to
play at home. They're fifty one and two in their

(06:40):
last fifty three games at home, and this year in particular.
You know, I think that the one thing that has
been that has stood out is them finding a way
to make great adjustments and play in the second half
of games and continuing to fight. You know, even in
their one loss against Alabama, I thought they played a
tremendous second half and gave themselves an opportunity to win
that ball game. So it's gonna take sixty minutes, and

(07:03):
it's gonna take all three phases. This can't be a
one dimensional game for us. We're gonna need all three
phases to play well. They've got a very balanced offensive attack.
I think Gunner Stockton has done a fantastic job of
running that offense and creating explosive plays with his arms,
with his legs. They're running the football effectively, you know. Defensively,

(07:23):
you're seeing them grow up week in and week out,
very physical front. There's a lot of new faces, a
lot of new names, but they all look very similar.
So they've got got a very talented football Team's gonna
be a great challenge and we're looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Texas is looking forward to it. But one of the
biggest stories coming out of yesterday was the update of
Michael Taff, uh Jelanie McDonald and Ryan Wingo and what's
next for those guys.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
All those guys practice this morning look great. I don't
foresee any setbacks there, so feel good about that.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
That's what we wanted to hear. Those are the guys
that have been impressive. Those are the guys that have
been the leaders of this team. And we'll hear from
Michael taff a little bit later. But one of the
other things that he wanted to find out, and this
was a good question because during the bye week you
obviously are trying to get healthy, You're trying to clean

(08:17):
up some of those things. But coach Sark is finding
out exactly what it is about his team.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
We had some issues and we got better at the.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Very good, insightful. Yes, straight to the point. I feel
very aware.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Now, thank you.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
Coach.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Our guy Corey Mose was like, hey, what did you
find out about your team? Because you were talking about
some of the issues and what did you end up
doing and what he say, found out? We got issues,
we got we gotta fit.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I love it. I love it. This is that time
of the year.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
We was talking about it yesterday with Signetti.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
I had some issues and we got better at he said.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
We getting right back to it. What'd you find out
about your team? What'd you find out? Another part of
it is being in the SEC. Coach SARTs been good
friends with Kirby Smart for quite some time. They spent
some time together. Now being in the SEC, they are
on I'll let him tell you. They're on some text
threads together and this is what coach and coach Kirby

(09:23):
Smart had to do during that time.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
He did text me Saturday morning, We're in a couple
of different group chats together, and Kirby and I do
text periodically. But he was on that ride from Tupelow
down to Starkville, which I had just done obviously a
couple of years ago. And that's one unique thing about
the SEC. It's like, man, you always want to try
to stay close to stadiums, but it's hard to do
that in our in our conference, the way some of

(09:46):
these towns are set up.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
And so.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
He checked in with what I was doing.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
I said, well, I just got to work out about
how breakfast and watch you play Bud, So good luck,
you know, see how it goes. But you know, again,
I think, honest, our relationship has probably gotten closer since
we've been in the league. We have more things to
talk about, you know. I think one thing about him
being the head coach at Georgia and myself being the
head coach at Texas, you know, I think that that

(10:12):
we have an opportunity to be influential on trying to
do what's best for our game, not only in our conference,
but in the state of college football. And I think
us being aligned on as many issues as we can
be aligned on, I think is good for the sport.
And so we try to do that, and we're not
going to agree on everything. Obviously, he's a defensive head coach,
so he's trying to get all the rules in favor

(10:33):
of the defense.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
I'm trying to get him in favor.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Of the offense.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
But in the end, I have a ton of respect
for Kirby and the job that he does and and
the way that his teams play the game, and so
a ton of respect for him. I always love competing
against him. It's a great challenge and this week's no different.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Love a challenge, yeah, love a challenge. But you know
what I love more in the challenge winning.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Man. Yeah, let's go out there. Hey, we have the
pleasantries after the game exactly when we win. Now, that's
what I think.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
That is where coach sarks mindset is this week, even
more so than it was before, because he knows what's
at stake, he knows what's front of in front of him.
But there's so much more to dig into about this,
this battle against Kirby Smart and this Georgia football team.
This is one of the teams that he has not

(11:28):
figured out yet and he has to do that in
a tough environment in Athens, Georgia We're just getting started
right here on the Morning Kickoff. Coming up next, we're
gonna talk about a snooze fest in the NFL. Another
coach is looking for work, and at seven thirty four
we'll have Joe Cook of Inside Texas and we'll also

(11:49):
talk Texas women's basketball. The number four ranked team handled
business right here on the Morning Kickoff on sports Radio
and thirteen hundred The Zone. Welcome back to the morning
kickoff right here on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone.
It's a little interesting to me that all of these

(12:10):
different weeks we get game times right. They don't tell
us when the games are This week, you can listen
to the game right here on Sports Radio AM thirteen
hundred The Zone six point thirty. But pregame starts at
three thirty from Bolden Acres in South Austin, not off Lamar,
it's the one that's way down south off a men's shack.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
I will not be there.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I will be celebrating my grandmother's ninety fifth birthday. My
grandmother and her twin sister, my aunt, will be celebrating
their ninety fifth birthday, So I will.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Not be there. Thank you, thank you. So they called
in the ringer. They called in the ringer.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Rod Babers will be sitting in for me at that
at Bolden Acres. But yesterday we were looking to see
what time Texas would play Arkansas next week. And normally
they give you two game times mark. They'll give you
between the five and seven window, and they'll give you

(13:15):
between the two and three thirty window. They'll tell you that. Well,
this week they listed it against Arkansas. The game will
be at either two thirty.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Or six.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Or six thirty, two thirty, six or six thirty. I
don't understand how it's that difficult. Oh, let me let
me also add this part. They ain't even tell you
what TV station is gonna be on.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
They ain't even give us that. So you're looking at
a game that's.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Possibly gonna have a lot of bearing on what happens
in the following weeks.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
But yet we don't know where it is. We don't
know where it is.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
What time is going to be on, and what channel
we're going to be on. All we know is that
we will be on Bebo Boulevard three hours before whatever
kickoff time.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
It may be. She having the baby? What hospital just
find it?

Speaker 7 (14:22):
What?

Speaker 3 (14:23):
What time? I mean, like, what did they say.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
K Tracker and tracker, she don't have a location on
exactly you know somebody else who didn't have their location on.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Both of those offenses.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Last night in the NFL, you talked about a snooze fest.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Martins, you gotta stop recording Mark. I thought that was
when he had his break, when the break. You can't
be recording him like that.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I was like, did you I know y'all went on
a trip together as fast as we were awake.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Unlike you, mister, I'm sleepy. I look taking nap break.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
But last night's NFL matchup was a snooze fest, as
the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers ten to seven,
and it came down to the he.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Said, ten to seven.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
I've seen baseball games this year that exceeded those point
total World Series games?

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, yeah, do you watch World Series games that exceeded
that point total? So as you see here today and
most of the time you start to look at the records,
the records are who they are. This is We started
the week with the Raiders and the Broncos that game
and it on Thursday night football ten to seven, ten

(15:53):
to seven, ten to seven. Yeah, and we watched the
exact same thing to end our football Monday, and it's
not great defense, Like the defense is the one were great.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
The defenses were.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Okay all four teams, but the quarterbacks didn't lead into throws.
The offensive coordinators played vanilla like there was nothing exotic
are different about it. It's not like playing Detroit. It's
not like playing the Colts. It's not like playing Chicago.

(16:27):
Now with Chicago, like they they are doing innovative things
and they're putting their quarterbacks in places to make plays,
and the wide receivers they they're doing a lot of
crossing in drags like there's there's no way to defend
it all, even with really good defensive players.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
And last night we got none of it. Yeah, it
was awful, none of it.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
It's it's interesting too because you look at both of
these quarterbacks. Jalen Hurts, he was electric in the Super Bowl.
Jordan Love was supposed to be the next coming. And
now you start to look at then you look at
Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs. Listen, those are electric players

(17:12):
for both teams. You look at the wide receiving corps electric,
they were electrocuted yesterday because they could not get it
going at all.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
I would yet sweep somebody and fake it and run
the option the other way.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Just have just fake go back the other way. You
got Hurts and Saquon Barkley and you can't run the ball.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
That's where what is going on. But this is why
I wanted to ask this question. As we sit here
right now, and you look at the NFC. The Philadelphia Eagles,
defending Super Bowl champions, they are plus twenty six on
their win loss.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
They've won three in a row. They're sitting at seven
and two.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
The Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears are sitting at
six and three. Detroit is plus eighty three in plus minuses,
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers six and three. The Seattle the
NFC West is where it's at. Oh yeah, Seattle in

(18:21):
the Ram in the Ram's Seattle is plus one three
plus one three, and the Rams are plus ninety eight.
If you were to pick any of those teams right now,
after watching what we've watched, who would be your favorite

(18:42):
at this particular moment to represent the NFC in the
Super Bowl. If you had to pick a team right now.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
If I had to pick right now, I would say
the Rams because I love the innovation. But Sam Darnold
and that that team in c out of they look
pretty damn hard to beat. Man, you got a wide
receiver that is lighting the league up about the set

(19:12):
a record for the franchise. The defense is giving up
the least amount of rushing yards in a for the
season every game. Like, there's so many pluses except for
the fact that Walker for whatever reason, cannot rush the ball.
Like Charbonnay is carrying the load right now, and and

(19:36):
everybody had Walker listed as the feature back.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
I drafted them too.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
So if you have two, they usually say you don't
have one. And at running back that's not true. Say
the more guys that you have that can get the
job done, the better. And they have three running backs,
I can get the job done.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
So yeah, they don't have weakness. That's the thing. What
do you key on?

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Well, and this is so we're about to find this out.
So this weekend in the NFL, we've got matchup. On
top of matchup, We've got Chicago Bears at the Minnesota Vikings.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
That's a twelve o'clock twelve noon kickoff.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
We have the Cincinnati Bengals at the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
That is a new no.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
They're still they're both fighting. They're both fighting. Steelers are
still at the top of the division. The Bengals are
right there. They should have been at the top of
the division if they didn't lose that game against Chicago
when they had the chance. And you also have Baltimore
that's ascending in the right direction.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
So you have that matchup.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
But at three o'clock, you have the Seattle Seahawks taking
on the Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
That is your three o'clock football game.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
At three twenty five, you have the Kansas City Chiefs
at the Denver Broncos. In your nightcap for Sunday, you've
got Detroit at Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
What is the key to you like?

Speaker 1 (21:15):
I'll tell you right now. I love the Rams. That
was my preseason pick for the Super Bowl. I said
that at the very beginning of the year. If Karen
Williams can run the ball, they'll win that game. That's
my key to that game. I don't know what you
think about Matt Stafford a.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Love mess effort.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
I'm mad I couldn't get him on my fantasy football team.
Like he has been my quarterback every year. You know
why because they call him Pat the Statsford because he
was paton Stats, because he was my guy.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Because they were always losing when he was in Detroit, so.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
He was gonna throw the football and he puts up
big numbers, just like right now. His numbers are so
ridiculous in the last four games.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
This is an all time high.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Coming up next with to talk to our guy Joe
Cook of Inside Texas get his takeaways from what he
heard and what the expectations are going into this weekend.
Stay right here, folks, the Morning Kickoff rolls on on
Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone. Welcome back to
the Morning Kickoff right here on Sports Radio AM thirteen

(22:20):
hundred The Zone. Coming up in the next segment, we
will be talking Texas women's basketball. But in this segment
it's a Tuesday, so that means our guy, Joe Cook
of Inside Texas joins us and you can follow him
at Joseph.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Cook eighty nine. Joe.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yesterday, coach Shark met with the media after the bye
week and it seemed like he was ready to go.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
They wish. It seemed like he wanted the game to
be played yesterday. What were your.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Takeaways from the media availability from coach Sark.

Speaker 7 (22:57):
Yeah, my big thing was hearing at the secondary the
guys that Texas needs in order to really play well
over these last few weeks. Jelani McDonald, Michael Taff are
practicing and we're going about business as usual, it sounds like.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
So that's that's a big one for me.

Speaker 7 (23:12):
We saw how much those guys were missed, or at
least Taff individually at Mississippi State. We saw how much
both those guys were missed against Vanderbilt when they put
up two hundred yards passing in the fourth quarter. Texas
needs those guys because this is a pretty good Georgia
team that can pass the ball and has better wide
receivers and maybe we're used to seeing from a Bulldogs offense,

(23:32):
so big to see those guys, you know, or hear
that those guys are back on the practice field and
going to help try to shore up the longhorned defense
has not had, at least against the path a great
couple of weeks out there.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Texas has faced as quarterback.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
But like you were saying about these wide receivers, they're
they're different than the guys that they played last season.
What do you think that Texas is going to have
to do to bracket these wide receivers?

Speaker 7 (24:01):
Yeah, you know what the game plan, I wouldn't be
surprised if it kind of looks like the Oklahoma one.
You know, I know, granted, Georgia isn't running an air raid,
but they do a lot of quarterback run stuff. They're
not afraid to let Gunner Stockton kind of take some
opportunities on his own.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
They obviously they have a little.

Speaker 7 (24:20):
Bit better run game than Oklahoma does, but they do
have some wide receivers and Noah Thomas and Zach Branch
who can kind of bust open games on their own.
Zach Branch finally getting used the right way. It seems
like a Georgia as opposed to a USC. So just guys,
you have to keep eyes on the whole time. It's
it's it's a team with Georgia that like you're kind

(24:42):
of looking around the entire team and you're wondering who
the superstar is, and it could very well be someone
like kJ Bolden at safety, but you don't really find
a superstar anywhere else. But the quality everywhere is so good,
Like Georgia's teams of old that you know they're they're
really isn't an identifiable hole on this team. There may

(25:03):
be some things are not great at, but there's nothing
you know, you look at on the red and black
side and think like obviously exploitable weakness. It's it's just
high quality pretty much everywhere.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
But I don't know if it's elite in any one spot.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Georgia's allowed a lot of a lot more rushing this
season than they have in years past. Uh, will that
be the crux of their defense in Texas offense.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
New reinsurgence in their run game, We'll see.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
I mean this, if you you kind of got some
good tests over the past couple of weeks, you.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Know, trying to get it done. You know, you got
it done against Oklahoma.

Speaker 7 (25:40):
You couldn't do really anything against Kentucky, but you got
some of it done against Mississippi State when you had
the chance to, and you got what you needed against Vanderbilt.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Well, now you're about to face a much more difficult test.

Speaker 7 (25:52):
Maybe the fact that they have the starting five out
there on the offensive line that seems to be their
best combination will give them some some a bump in
that area. But this is going to be probably the
toughest challenge when it comes to running the football since
they faced Oklahoma. So we'll see if the outside zone
and some of the other things that they do did
against Oklahoma with a good amount of.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Success, it's something to would be able to replicate in Athens.
We're talking to Joe Cook of Inside Texas.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
You can follow them at Joseph Cook eighty nine and
always follow them at on three dot com and Inside
Texas dot com. You talked about the running game and
a lot has to do with.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
That new upfront offensive line.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Trevor Goosby, Cole Hudson, Connor Robertson, DJ Campbell, and Brandon
Baker are trying to work together. What was your takeaway
when you figured out that Cole Hudson, who came back
from injury, was going to be bumped to left guard
instead of right back in the center position, kind of
felt like, you know, an about time type.

Speaker 6 (26:52):
Reaction they've been trying.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
They had tried.

Speaker 7 (26:55):
Literally everything at left guard, and eventually, you know, they
kind of found out that they trusted Connor Robertson to
handle things in the middle on his own and that
maybe their best guard was the guy they had at center,
So I know they tried everything to keep Cole Hudson
there at center, but you know, it just wasn't working
with Nick Brooks, just too inconsistent, say, with Connor Strow,

(27:18):
and they had to finally go at a different direction,
and it looks like that's what's gonna work.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Connor Robertson's played pretty well.

Speaker 7 (27:25):
You know, Cole Hudson and DJ Campbell have a lot
of experience, and we've seen opposing defenses really try to
attack the interior and to leave guys like Gooseby and
Baker kind of on their own devices, and they've done
well in those areas. Maybe that's some of the you know,
just they're taking advantage of one on one matchups. But
if they can continue to play well, the interior starts

(27:47):
holding up a little bit better, then you're gonna see
an offensive line maybe excel and it continue to do
really well in pass protecting, and we've seen arch Manning
really find a rhythm over these past couple of weeks
and when he's got time to throw.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Speaking of arch Manning, he's back. He looked great in
the game against Vanderbilt. He looks like somebody that has
grown up right before our very eyes. And he seems
to be even more confident every single week. What have
you seen from Arch that makes you feel that way
as well?

Speaker 7 (28:18):
Yeah, just you know, he's he's calm, he's hitting throws,
he's doing things within the offense and not really making
He's doing great things within the offense.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
You know, you always like to see these quarterbacks, I
don't want to.

Speaker 7 (28:32):
Say, you know, freelance, but kind of ad lib and
do things outside the structure of the offense. And you know,
those are always some special plays too, but sometimes the
special players are the ones within the structure, you know
what you know, going from one receiver to the next.
And he's done a great job at that over the
past few weeks, just hitting his receivers, using time in
the pocket, getting out of the pocket a little bit,

(28:54):
and being accurate with his throws. And that was the
big thing against Vanderbilt was he was just on point
with his accuracy. Anything that wasn't completed I think was
a went down as a drop like it wasn't there
weren't I don't think there were any maybe just for
like one throwaway or one like miss all his catches
were pretty much on target against Vanderbilt, So he is

(29:16):
just doing a lot of the things that people expected
of him before the season, and again, big tests with
Georgia they did. But this is a Georgia defense that
seems a little bit susceptible to some long passes, maybe
more so than that it has been a year's past.
It should be should be an interesting area where we
might see arch Manning try to exploit it.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
You think that that's a more viable option other than
going into max protections and bringing in extra offensive alignment
against the team that's struggling against the run, especially inside
the twenty.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
Yeah, you know, when when we've seen Texas do max
protect the guys that they have, you know, Quin Travian
Wiser has been a great pass blocker, but we have
seen them do the extra line thing very much, and
then when they bring in these tight ends to max protect,
they've not been good blockers, you know that. And then
if you're going to try to do that and bring

(30:10):
in more guys, well you hope that they could block,
but you see that the max protect editions are the
guys often getting beat on some of these plays.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
So I think maybe sending.

Speaker 7 (30:21):
Out more guys into that formation, and you know, stretching
the defense in a variety of ways and relying on
arch and his his mobility to maybe be that blocker
that you don't have. Actually blocking is the best bet,
just because we've seen tight ends fail in their protection
so much.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
There he is our guy, Joe Cook of Inside Texas
breaking it down as the Texas Longhorns get ready to
take on the number five team in the nation, the
Georgia Bulldogs. As always, Joe, we appreciate you, man, and
thank you for taking the time. Thank you, Joe, absolutely,
thank you guys, always bringing the heat. God Joe Cook

(31:01):
of Inside Texas. Coming up next, we're gonna stay with
the Texas tame as we talked Texas women's basketball.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
That's right, they put up big.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Numbers and guess what, Mark very played well right here
on the morning kickoff on sports Radio AM thirteen hundred
the Zone. Great stuff from Joe Cook of Inside Texas.
Make sure you follow them at Joseph Cook eighty nine.
Coming up at eight seventeen, we'll be talking to the
voice of the Houston Texans, Mark Vandermere, as he breaks

(31:31):
down that great come from behind victory from the Houston Texans.
Last night the Texas Women, the number four ranked Texas
Women played at the Moody Center and ended up winning
that game one hundred to thirty eight.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
They held Ull to.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Nine points in the first quarter, six points in the
second quarter, and nine points in the third quarter until
they can get fourteen in the fourth to finish it
off with thirty eight.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
But the scoring got started with one Rory Harmon. She's
seventeen to six Longhards.

Speaker 8 (32:09):
This is a nine to oh run and a steal
by Harmon and lace it off the glass for two.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Mark She had five steals last night. Yeah, she was,
she was on her game. She was doing what Rory Harmon. No,
she had five assists, three steals. Madison Booker have six steals. Yeah,
and I mean, hars.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
When you forced thirty two turnovers, they forced thirty two
to seven turnovers, you're gonna lose the game that But look,
winning and losing was not the point.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
We knew Texas was gonna win that game.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
It was like how they're gonna play, And they're playing really,
really good together already, and this is early in the season.
Another ten games and I think they really gonna know
each other and we'll see some We'll see some big
numbers go up.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Well, a lot of that is coming from Jordan Lee,
who continues to light it up from the outside.

Speaker 8 (33:05):
Inbound in the right corner, Jordan Lee fadeaway. Three is
good for Lee, her first bucket of the night.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
And then she wasn't done.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
But in between her and three, there was an Alia
Krump sighting as well.

Speaker 8 (33:20):
Harmon out for the right side. Crump will fire up
a three. That one's good, so all of a sudden,
long runs will come out. They didn't hit a three
in the first half. They hit two here to start
with second half.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
And of course I just told you, Jordan Lee decides
I want to get another one.

Speaker 8 (33:33):
Make sure she wasn't tied up outside the Lee for
three and it's good. Jordan Lee knocks down her second
three pointer of the ball game. She has eight points
all in the second half and it's seventy three twenty
four Texas.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
Well.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
As we told you, the final score ended up being
one hundred to thirty eight.

Speaker 8 (33:52):
With one second to go, inbounded and a three point launched,
and that'll do it.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Lawn Horns with the win. Texas with the victory.

Speaker 8 (34:01):
The finals score tonight Texas won one hundred and Louise
handle Lafayette thirty.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Eight thirty eight thirty eight points. That's they were out matched.
I saw it in front of the very beginning. You
saw it during warm ups. You were like, yeah, Texas
is about to blow this team out, and you could
see the haves and the have not the big time
players that they have. But postgame, Rory Harmon got a
chance to talk with our Craig Way, and.

Speaker 8 (34:29):
Rory Harmon comes over to join us down in pretty
complete performance. Twelve points and five rebounds and five assists.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
How about that?

Speaker 8 (34:36):
How about you said mobile there? How about your game?
It was pretty mobile and I just felt good about it.

Speaker 6 (34:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (34:41):
I felt like I was moving a lot, moving pretty fast.
I felt like I was in the right places at
the right time. You know, I think we could have
looked better as the team, but honestly, it takes a
little bit more effort and practice. We just got to
keep second days. But yeah, I felt like I got
a little bobile today.

Speaker 10 (34:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (34:56):
One thing that coach said the other day I found interesting.
He said last year and I remember you made a
reference to this. You were still trying to make sure
you had everything working right, mainly the knee on the
floor and more of a physical nature. Is it all
second nature back to how it was before the injury.

Speaker 9 (35:14):
Now, yeah, no, I completely feel back to it. It
was like, you know, it's weird because it takes a
really long time, Like people think, oh, you're back in
the court, you're playing. I had a knee brace on
the whole season. Like then you have to worry about practicing,
like learning how to play.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Without the knee brace.

Speaker 9 (35:27):
So no, I feel really good right now, feel really good.

Speaker 8 (35:29):
So when everybody still holds their breath when you hit
the floor, you don't hold your breath anymore.

Speaker 9 (35:34):
No, people don't understand, like when you're on the floor
that means you're playing hard. It was loose balls right there.
I saw that stuff right there.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
So I'm good. I'm pretty tough. You are good. Thanks
for the time, Thank you so much. All right, Rory
Harmon joining us.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
That was a great, great performance by her, and like
she said, this was her opportunity to look a little
bit more free with the way she was moving.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
The first game that I saw her, I guess it
was Friday night. I thought she didn't look as quick.
I didn't think and I don't know if that was
just the way she was feeling that day, but she
didn't look as quick.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Last night she looked back to Rory Harmon again.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Well, I told you that, you know, coach Vic was
gonna let her know. You know, he's not gonna hold
any punches, Like you know, you don't have brakes on you.
You've been a calendar year like you gotta trust yourself.
And that is every athlete he wants to hear that
from their coach, like I trust you?

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Do you trust you? Right? Like go do you like?
Go have fun? Like it's a game at the end
of the day.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
And she showed that by going out and having that performance.
You also have to look at what you've seen from
the freshman I mean, they've been able. Aliah Crump has
been able to play at a high level. She's aggressive,
she gets the ball and she's headed downhill when she
gets it, and then she'll pop out and shoot that three.

(37:00):
But Jordan Lee has been very, very consistent for this
basketball team. And then last night you have Brionna Cunningham
being able to excuse me, Brea Cunningham coming out with
fourteen rebounds in nine total points. So this is a
balanced basketball team and they're getting big minutes from a
lot of people this season.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Yeah, and they had three starters that scored nine points,
nine points, eight points. Yep, they very easily could have
held the ball, take more shots and hit double digits.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
They already had four people.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
That had double digit the five people that had double
digits and three starters that didn't right, so very easily
you could you could have.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
You could have had eight people.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
And one of those people that didn't have double digits
was Madison Booker, which is very rare. But Kyla Oldacre
had nineteen points to finish off the game and was
in double digits after the first quarter. She was seven
of eight from the field, but five of twelve from
the free throw line. As I told you before, they
missed ten free throws again last night, and some of

(38:07):
them were on the front end of one and one.
So I just need them to shoot a little bit
better on from the free throw line. They're gonna get better,
I understand it, but there's some crucial times that you're
gonna need to make sure you hit those free throws.
Great stuff by the Texas women Texas men will be

(38:28):
playing tomorrow night. We'll give you all the information about that.
We also will hear from coach Sean Miller as well.
But our number one of the morning kickoff is over,
and now we head to our number two of the
morning kickoff coming up next, we're gonna hear from Arch
Manning and Michael Taff and Kirby Smart talks a little

(38:50):
bit about this Texas football team right here on the
morning Kickoff on sports Radio AM thirteen hundred. This is
all welcome back to our number two of the morning
kickoff right here on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred, The Zone,
Mike Harballhard's World Strongest Man w W Hall of Famer
d Mark Henry, and of course we've got our guy
Marcus behind the boards.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
And now we number one.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
We got a chance to listen to coach sark and
talking about this game against Georgia. We also learned that
Michael Taff, Trey Wingo, and Jelani McDonald are all back
on the practice field and it looks like they are
going to be ready to go. We also talked about
the snooze fest that took place in the NFL yesterday

(39:34):
as the Packers I mean the Packers lose to the
Eagles ten to seven, and the Eagles and the Packers
are still looking up at a couple teams, not because
of their record, just because of the way that they
were playing. We also heard from Joe cookove inside Texas
and we talked Texas women's basketball. Coming up at eight seventeen,

(39:56):
we will have the voice of the Houston Texans, Mark Van,
joining us to talk all things Houston Texans as they
get ready to go on the road to take on
the Tennessee Titans. But we have to talk about that
victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and we'll close out the
show talking about the MLB as the Rookie of the

(40:18):
Year was awarded, and I was not surprised by either
one of them. But right now I want you to
hear from Arch Manning and Michael Taff as they talked
about the leadership skills that Michael Taff brings for that secondary.

Speaker 6 (40:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (40:35):
I mean he's a leader of this team and I
think he's going to bring a spark back and we're
excited to have him back.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
We had ours. It been like Afterpat and he said
the leader of the team back. Wow, he's a leader
of leading this team to.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
A game like this.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
Yeah, I appreciate him saying that.

Speaker 11 (40:49):
I think just understanding that, you know that old adage
every battle is won before it's fought. Just knowing that,
you know, if we want to go where we want
to say where we're saying we want to go, then
we got to prepare right now.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
And everything that we do in.

Speaker 11 (41:04):
Practice is gotta look like we want to win the game,
and so our and see our our accountability. Everything that
a price should look like for a championship team has
got to look like it every single day. So I'm
just trying to lead the guys to prepare like like
we want to go win Saturday.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
And that's what it's all about.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
You have to be ready to win each game that
you go out there, especially now heading into this final
three games of the regular season, to keep your playoff
chances alive. Arch Manning also spoke about going to Georgia
this weekend and returning to Athens because if y'all don't remember,

(41:43):
there was a lot of pitchers that were taking of
Arch wearing a Georgia Bulldog hat when he was on
his recruiting trip, and you remember there was a co
ed that kept saying he's committing to Georgia.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
He was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, he played the bro
you're compared.

Speaker 10 (42:01):
To when you played with five slacks.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Yeah, they're a good team. Welcomes, they flay with golf,
so can be a home. What about playing in Athens?
Ever been there in a very good game there?

Speaker 7 (42:09):
Just about playing there?

Speaker 12 (42:11):
Yeah, I went to a game there in my junior
or high school.

Speaker 7 (42:14):
And played South Carolina.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Yeah, it's a big time Atosphere. I'm excited. Everybody talking
about it is just kind of just another game other week.

Speaker 8 (42:23):
What did it take y'all to kind of lock out?

Speaker 3 (42:25):
You know what took place last season?

Speaker 8 (42:27):
Then?

Speaker 3 (42:28):
You know, is it true that y'are not looking at
this like it's, you know, just another team. Yeah, we're
just focused on today on Saturday every year. So no,
gotta focus on today and then have a good practice
for him.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
All right, Gotta have a good practice tomorrow. Gotta get
ready to go over to y'ausia take on them. Bull
dog blah, I gotta pull that up. We got to
bring that back.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
Marcus. I'll show you where it's at. I showed you
he is.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
He is probably the most calm under pressure dude that
I've seen in a while. Like he just like it's
good that he don't rattle. And I think now his
abilities are catching up to his coolness. If he can
get that Joe Cool's status where like you just don't
look rattle, you just do.

Speaker 10 (43:13):
What you do.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Yeah, like he can be great. Well, he definitely already good.
He's definitely been working towards that. And Craig and I
yesterday on the pre show before Coach Sark took the microphone,
we were talking about the poise in which he's shown
over the season, from the very beginning to where he

(43:36):
is now and the journey that he's gone on. So
it's been really impressive to see him.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Now. I want you to put you found it, Marcus, Yeah,
I found it all right.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
So after the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas beat the Georgia Bulldogs
in the Sugar Bowl and there was a fan that
got so mad that Georgia got beat down by the
Texas Longhorns in that Sugar Bowl and he went to
social media and we captured this moment. It was one

(44:07):
of the best moments that I've ever heard, and I
never laughed so hard.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
Be good sin Vis y'all left them both. I'm gonna
find this week.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
I'm gonna find that whole clip because he emptied the clip.
He said, we don't need to play in nothing that
has a dome in it, not a Mercedes, not a Buick.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
I don't need no cause that would have told it
was unbelievable. It was unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
But something else that Kirby Smart has been talking about
is one arch Manning. Arch Manning continues to get better,
and Kirby was asked what he sees on the film
from arch Manning.

Speaker 12 (44:55):
Yeah, he's playing with more confidence. I think the morning.

Speaker 10 (44:57):
He's getting better protection, he's seeing things well, making good decisions,
he's hitting the ball out of his hand quickly.

Speaker 12 (45:04):
I mean, he's he's maturing, you know, he's he's.

Speaker 10 (45:06):
Had an opportunity to play and grow, and you don't
really get that until you get out there and play.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
He played a good bit last year, but.

Speaker 10 (45:16):
The kind of games he's had to play in this
year just a different stature in terms of the SEC gallet.

Speaker 12 (45:22):
And just you know, you watch game by game.

Speaker 10 (45:24):
I watched yesterday each game throughout the year and watched
him just grow and play and play better.

Speaker 12 (45:30):
He's he's extending plays, he's doing really.

Speaker 10 (45:33):
Well with scrambles, keeps his eyes downfield, doesn't look at
the rush. He's made some really impressive wow rows and
they're playing better offensively. Yeah, it really wasn't about the
celebrity nature. The last name is about the tape. You know,
have a good relationship with their family. I've known as

(45:53):
his dad for a while, his uncle for a long time,
and his grandfather. They've got a wonderful family. But it
has no nothing to do with his recruitment. His recruitment
was based on He's athletic, he's fast, he's tall, he's intelligent,
he's got composure, he's got armed.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
I mean, he can do it all.

Speaker 12 (46:09):
He can run the ball, he can throw the ball,
and this day and age, you got to have a
quarterback that can do both.

Speaker 10 (46:14):
He can and I think he's got great composure. You know,
he's not really affected by not many many things. Even
the way he's managed the hype and expectations of what
he was supposed to be this year, None of that
was he didn't he didn't call any of that to
come to him, And it's just what the outside sources did.
And he doesn't seem to have affected him. He knows

(46:34):
he's got to grow and get better. And I think
Sarks done a great job kind of bringing him up
and allowing him to develop.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
And get better.

Speaker 10 (46:41):
I don't really know how to pitch. I mean his relationships.
I mean, right, I got to know him, our staff
got to know him. He came over here a lot.
He was very honest and and and had his thoughts
about both programs. He liked both programs. He had to
pick one. I mean, there's no like sales pitch in
terms of that. That's on the recruiting trip.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
Man.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
You know what, man, I think that the thing that
out of all of those things Coach Smart talked about
the archer's ability to standing there and eat a pass
rush is I haven't seen nobody else this year stand
in there and take it like he has. I mean,
it's coming right down the barrel hard and he will

(47:21):
stand right there in the face of it and deliver
the ball.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Yeah. He's done a really good job.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
And as I've said before, it's the ability to seize
the moment and not let the moment get too big
for him. He's always been able to get there and
We talked about this yesterday. Early in the season when
he threw that rollout and he threw the touchdown pass
to Baxter last week, where he extended to play. Early

(47:48):
in the season, he would have tucked that ball and
tried to run into the.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
End zone, or he let it through it too soon
and he let it develop.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
He saw what was happening, the rush came to him,
he flipped the ball touchdown.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
Those are experience plays.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Those are poised plays because he knows he's strong enough
and fast enough to put his head down and go there.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
But he also knows I got my head the other day. Yeah,
I got my head wrung the other day.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
So let me hold up and let's see what's happening
and let the play develop. And those are things that
I continue to look at when I look at what
arch Manning has become as a quarterback. I know he's
still gonna have his haters. I know he's still gonna
have his doubters, but they're not in this this studio.
You need them, it's not in this studio. It is

(48:35):
where we have said from day one, more reps, more
time development is there. The Kirby Smart is a great evaluator.
We've seen it happen, and you hear what he said.
It wasn't about the name, it was about the tape.
The tape doesn't lie. It's more about being able to
adjust to the speed of the game. And the only

(48:55):
way you do that you can do some of that
in practice if you're playing scout team and you're going
to against the fastest guys.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
But the other thing is, you know you're not getting hit.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
In practice, right, there's a big difference. There's a big
I'm not you can't hit me. I got the black
jersey on. I'm the one that you cannot hit. So
when you go out there and you get into the game,
it all starts to slow down. And I believe that
the game is slowing down. And it's amazing how good
you can look if your offensive line gives you time.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
Yeah, you get a little bit of time, you can
make that extra read, yeah, and you can look for
your dump down. A lot of times, you know, early
in the season, Archie, especially against Ohio State, Archie would
see coverage and then when he got to his second read,
he just threw it, or he threw it out of bounds,

(49:44):
or he tried to run.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
He never looked for it. He never got time to
look for the third receiver or his dumb down. So
now he's developed.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Yeah, he's made some adjustments and it's been very, very
impressive to watch him. Now he's got one of the
biggest challenge, if not the biggest challenge of the year,
going on the road, playing in Athens, Georgia against the
team that has done very very well against these Texas Longhorns.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
New team though.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
Coming up next, we have Mark VanderMeer, the voice of
the Houston Texans, joining us right here on the morning
kickoff on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone. It's
a Texas Tuesday, it's a turn to page Tuesday. But
we can't do either without talking to our guy, Mark VanderMeer,
the voice of the Houston Texans, which you can hear

(50:36):
right here on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone.
And you heard that epic comeback that happened as the
Houston Texans win thirty six to twenty nine over the
Jacksonville Jaguars. And Mark, that has to be one of
the greatest games you have ever.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
Called in your life.

Speaker 13 (50:57):
In the fourth quarter, yeah, in the fourth order, we
have to put the disclaimer in there.

Speaker 6 (51:03):
The finish was so good, guys. The Texans roared back.

Speaker 13 (51:06):
You saw it. Twenty nine ten, they're down, and it
was a lot of self inflicted wounds too. Mills pick
fumble on the kickoff return.

Speaker 6 (51:14):
I mean, credit the Jags.

Speaker 13 (51:15):
They forced turnovers, they're good at that. But all of
a sudden, you were in a big hole seventeen nothing
and eventually twenty nine to ten. And really I can't
blame it on the defense. They were put on short fields.
The offense really wasn't stinking up the joint. They had
a touchdown on the first half, but everything just was
so clunky and slow, and now you're down nineteen.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
Is it going to happen? It happened.

Speaker 13 (51:37):
And the context of Davis Mills doing this after he
hadn't started in almost three years, but he's been around
here since twenty twenty one, he's in Trevor Lawrence's draft class,
and he does that to the Jaguars. It was dramatic,
it was exciting. We'll never forget it. It was a
joy to watch.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
Yeah, it was unbelievable because when you sit back and
you look at the if you just looked at the
stat you would think that the Texans dominated this game.
Twenty seven first downs, ten of thirteen. Oh, I mean,
excuse me, ten of fifteen on third down. You also
have four hundred and twelve yards of total offense to
their two thirteen six yards per play.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
I mean, everything just sounded.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Like it was going great for the Houston Texans, but
as you mentioned, very short feel the Jaguars being able
to turn it around, but your defense was still making
some plays to keep you in the ballgame.

Speaker 13 (52:34):
Absolutely, I mean they played great, especially when the Texans
offense started to get it going. So they punched the
first one in with Mills throwing to Jayden Higgins, the rookie,
and then the Jags get the ball back on second down,
Daneel Hunter gets a big TfL. On third down, Daniel
Hunter gets a sack one of three and a half
on the day, he was I mean, we call Will

(52:56):
Anderson the terminator. He looked like the terminator on that day.
Will played well.

Speaker 6 (53:00):
Too, but Daniel was a monster.

Speaker 13 (53:03):
JJ Watt called the game on TV and that was
a what like performance, Very clutched by Daniel Hunter to
make big play after big play, real clutch defensive plays.

Speaker 6 (53:14):
You had the Stingley pick at the end of the half.

Speaker 13 (53:16):
That saved three points for you because they've got a
great kicker with the record sixty eight yard er that
he set the week before.

Speaker 6 (53:23):
So the defense really stepped it up and they scored.

Speaker 13 (53:26):
On the final player of the game with Sheldon Rankins
off the pick forced by Will Anderson Jr.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
Mark, Can you do me a favorite?

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Can you tell meals to look at the film of
what happened to the starting quarterback? Because he was out
there running and I was holding my breath every time
he took off running.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
But he ran the ball pretty effectively.

Speaker 13 (53:47):
When he ran it well, he's got four or five speed,
and that's what people don't realize. So he tested very
well at the combine with his running velocity, and he
just doesn't use it much. And I only had that
problem with him when he started a lot of games
during the dark years of the Texans in twenty twenty
one and twenty twenty two. I thought Mills should have

(54:08):
run it.

Speaker 6 (54:09):
More, because in today's game, we all know it.

Speaker 13 (54:12):
This is nothing new. Quarterbacks who run you don't have to.

Speaker 6 (54:15):
Do it in a crazy way. Just get a first
down every now and then in this case.

Speaker 13 (54:20):
It was third and goal at the fourteen. Now think
about that for a moment, third and goal at the fourteen.
You had it at the two following the PI on
the Jags. But there they were, and would they get it?

Speaker 6 (54:31):
They did?

Speaker 3 (54:31):
When Mills took off.

Speaker 6 (54:33):
It's almost like slow motion. No, I thought, is he
gonna make it? You know?

Speaker 13 (54:38):
And they still had a time out, they still had
fourth down, but you just knew you didn't want to
go to fourth down. And the fact that he got
the corner like that, it was a very special moment
for the Texans and hopefully it can springboard them into
something special.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
Yeah, And that's what a lot of people continue to
look at because this week you're making the trip to Tennessee.
Tennisse is a bewildered football team that is trying to
find their way.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
And you know, as well as I.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
I was trying to be nice about it, but you
look at this team and you're trying to figure out
are they ready to take that next step to Houston Texans?
That is, and you have to be able to go
into places where you're expected to beat those types of
teams and get it done.

Speaker 6 (55:27):
Yeah, they have to do it.

Speaker 13 (55:28):
And if I'm Jamiko Lyons, all I have to do
is throw on the Miami Buffalo tape because Miami was
like Knight of the Living Dead as a team. Buffalo
goes in there last week and they get dominated. Miami
runs for something like two hundred yards almost. It was
crazy what they did to Buffalo. And Buffalo needs these games.

(55:48):
You know, they're battling for a potential one seat. They
have to get back into it in their division with
the Patriots playing so well. But it's one of those
inexplicable things. And that is a good example of what
can happen if you are not on your game. So
the Texans better be ready for Tennessee. You can't overlook anybody.
Weird things happen every week. Take care of your business.

(56:09):
And I don't know about CJ because he's still in
the protocol. So let's see where this ends up. You know,
you want to get him back, obviously, but he's got
to be fully mentally healthy or however you want to
label it coming back from a concussion. Got to get
him back full capacity because.

Speaker 6 (56:24):
It is only going to get harder. Guys, a week
from now, we're going to.

Speaker 13 (56:27):
Be talking and Buffalo comes in a week from Thursday,
so you have a short week to get ready for
those bills and maybe you can run on them, but
it's Buffalo and I'll never look past them, so be
ready for anything.

Speaker 6 (56:38):
It's getting exciting now.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
A couple of guys went down with some injuries earlier,
Stingley and what he Marx.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
But Marx came back into the game. But what's going
on with Stingley.

Speaker 13 (56:50):
Well, Stingley came back too, so I think he's fine.
But when I say fine, I'll put that in air
quotes because I think he's been battling stuff all year long.
You know, he got shaken up in the first game
against the Rams on opening Day, so he hasn't really
missed time. He's miss plays here and there. He might
have missed a game or most of the game, but anyway,
he's been out there, you know, being his all pro self.

(57:10):
I mean, the pick he had with the one handed
grab before the half was as good an interception as
you're ever gonna see. I asked Timiko Ryans, what's the
best thingly pick? And that might be the degree of
difficulty number one pick, not the context of the game.
He's outstanding last and is great. These guys fly all

(57:30):
around the field. They want to inflict harm in the opponent.
That's how you want to see your defense role. I
don't know about Marx. I'm really bracing myself when I
see this injury report tomorrow. They were running Trent Brown.

Speaker 6 (57:42):
At right tackle. He's six's eight three eighty, So I
wonder about.

Speaker 13 (57:46):
A human being like that being able to hold up
for even three.

Speaker 6 (57:48):
Weeks in this league at his age.

Speaker 13 (57:51):
But he really helped on Sunday, so that was big.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Margot.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
I'm I'm really shaky on on Kirk right now, Like
if Kirk is not the answer, who is?

Speaker 6 (58:02):
Well.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
I love what Higgins and Nol are doing.

Speaker 6 (58:04):
You know, there are no rookies anymore.

Speaker 13 (58:06):
They all say that midway through the season.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
And when you look at.

Speaker 13 (58:09):
Woody Marks, Arianta Ersiri at left tackle, you look at
Jalen Nolan, Jayden Higgins at receiver, those are four rookies
you're playing a lot, and they're all really productive.

Speaker 6 (58:19):
Ersery has definitely gotten better in Week three. Josh Heinz
Allen had.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
A good game against them. For the Jags.

Speaker 6 (58:25):
This week not so much. Ersery held them down and it.

Speaker 13 (58:29):
Was him on an island against heins Allen most of
the day, and heins Allen is a hell of a player.

Speaker 6 (58:34):
I interviewed Ersery yesterday.

Speaker 13 (58:36):
This is a guy to watch.

Speaker 6 (58:37):
I think they made the right pick here.

Speaker 13 (58:39):
I know they've missed on some old lineman or they're
not as good as you want whatever. Ersery I think
is him at left tackle, so let's see him continue
to progress.

Speaker 6 (58:48):
I like the receivers though. I think Nolan Higgins are the.

Speaker 13 (58:52):
Guys, and maybe they get more reps than Kirk. Now.
I think Kirk is still good. But you know, you
only have so many slots for people to occupied, so
let's see how they handle it.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
So I wanted to ask you this because it continues
to happen across sports. Coaches are being relieved of their duties.
You guys are headed to Tennessee. They still have not
figured it out. I don't know what's gonna end up
happening there. Do you think that they're going to end
up making a change in Tennessee?

Speaker 13 (59:24):
Well, yeah, because Mike McCoy's taking over. So he's got
head coaching experience with the Chargers back in the day,
and you know, he was a good coordinator. And you
remember he's the guy who got a lot out of
Tim Tebow. He got I mean relatively right, He got
the most you could out of Tebow and then he
got He was Peyton Manning's offensive coordinator in Denver for
a bit before he get the Charger job. So he's

(59:46):
got some experience with quarterbacks and offense and we'll see
if they can put something together. They're coming off of
buy so you're gonna get the best of whatever this
version is of them.

Speaker 6 (59:56):
But look, it's the NFL. We say it, it's as cliche.

Speaker 13 (59:58):
But this league designed to be as even as possible.
And I think that I'm not going to be surprised
if this is a game going into the fourth quarter.

Speaker 6 (01:00:07):
I will be surprised. If the Texans lose the game, Well, they.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Better get out there and handle their business and stay
on track. Demico Ryans said he was never part of
a game in which that that was played last week.
I'm sure you felt the same way. But now you
got to get back and refocus and head to Tennessee
to defeat the Tennessee Titans. As always, Mark Man, we
appreciate you, thank sure for taking the time.

Speaker 6 (01:00:34):
All right, go Longhorns against Georgia, no doubt.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
Big weekend all the way around. We got to get
this stuff done. Thanks Mark, all right, thank you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
There he is Mark VanderMeer, the voice of the Houston
Texans as they get ready to head to Tennessee to
make things happen. Coming up next, you got the world's
strongest man bringing you his world strongest take right here
on the morning kickoff on Sports Ready Am thirteen hundred
the Zoon.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
You already know what time it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
Is when that music kids w WE Hall of Famer
and World's Strongest Man d Mark Henry brings you his
world's strongest take.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
Take it away, big fella hard what's up if you
know what timing and what timas?

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
It's time for the world's strongest take by the world's
strongest man.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
My guess back then they didn't know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
But now I'm hot. They're all on me, guys. And
when I say guys, I mean Longhorn Nation. I just
want to let y'all know there's a lot of anxiety
going around right now about Texas. Two losses to Georgia. Guys,
this is not the team that Texas played last year.

(01:01:51):
The team last year at this time had twenty three sacks.
You know how many sacks This team has four and
only one of those four sacks is by a defensive lineman.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Interceptions, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
They have four interceptions and eleven sacks and only one
of those sacks is by a defensive lineman. The rest
of their tackles, their leading tacklers are all just like
Kentucky safeties and linebackers. People are getting to the second
level running the ball. The key to the game is

(01:02:41):
Texas being able to run the ball. They have three
force fumbles, They are allowing one hundred yard rusher consistently.
They are not stopping teams in side to twenty five.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
Against the run.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
Their offense, granted, has rushed for twenty two touchdowns.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
And the quarterback is the leader in that running game.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
Not a wise decision to have your quarterback putting his
nose in there against arguably the best defense in college football.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
Stay at home, do your job Passing wise.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
They have at least six receivers that have scored touchdowns,
so they have versatility in the past game. But with
this pressure that Texas is going to be applying, I
just don't think that Georgia will be able to My
take is this, guys, this is the year that Texas

(01:04:05):
beats Georgia, and it's gonna be a lot like when
they went into Alabama and beat up Nick Saban and the.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
Alabama years. That's the word hard.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
What say you, Yeah, it's gonna be interesting because last year,
when Gunner Stockton came into the game, we didn't understand
who Gunner Stockton was. If they didn't realize how fast
he could run, how mobile he was in the pocket.
He did throw an interception in the game last year.
This is a different team as you talked about before

(01:04:42):
when it comes to this football team. So it's always
one of those deals where you start to understand that
it is a challenge for each team that has a
good a good approach. When you look at what Texas
was able to do last year, they ran the ball
for thirty one yards total, I mean against this defense.

(01:05:07):
I mean, you may be right, but Kirby Smart understands
what this team looks like, who it is, and what
the expectation is moving forward. When I look at this
Texas game and I understand what it is with our
defense and being able to hold water, so to speak,

(01:05:29):
it's key to having Michael taff and Jolani McDonald on
the back end because it wasn't like that before. We've
seen busted plays. Communication is key moving forward. We shouldn't
have miscommunications in the back end, front end, or any
end of this football team because we.

Speaker 3 (01:05:46):
Are way further into this what ten games now.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
That we're in in the college football season with this
Texas football team, what seven and two? So they should
be a lot more dialed in when it comes to
communication because that is going to be a key against
this team against the Georgia Bulldogs.

Speaker 3 (01:06:06):
I don't care what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
I don't know what it is about them, but it
has been a struggle against this Georgia team. You think
that you're there and then at the end they find
a way to get it done. If Texas makes the
field goal with the dude that left doctor No, the
kicker that went to Miami anyway, the kicker that we

(01:06:28):
had last year, redhead kit he is gone. Bird Auburn
makes the kick, Texas wins the ball game. We're having
a totally different discussion on getting over the hump. I
think the experience that you have with Mason Shipley is
going to be a lot different than what you had
with Burt Auburn. The moments are don't need to be

(01:06:48):
too big, and Texas doesn't need to make this game
bigger than what it already is.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
Where Texas was deficient last year is just like you
just brought up, was in the special not just in
the in the kicking department, but in the returning the ball.
This Now that you have Dibblet who's able to affect
the game and the special teams, they're gonna have to
play a different game. The Okay, we'll punt, Sometimes it

(01:07:20):
becomes maybe we shouldn't, maybe we should go for it,
maybe we should, you know, try.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
To angle it for the sideline.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
And when you angle for the sideline, sometimes you leave
fifteen yards on the table. You want to give Texas
offense a short feel so you damned if you do.
You're damned if you don't. I feel like this is
the year for Texas to throw everything at them. I
don't care if you're saving something for A and M.
This is not the time to save anything.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Super Bowl. If you do this, even if you lost.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
The last game, which I don't think is going to happen,
you still are gonna be high enough that you're not
gonna drop outside the twelve. So I just I'm really
looking for Texas to go in and not only have
a good showing, but but being able to really show

(01:08:17):
who they are.

Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
This week.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
This is the week to do it, because everybody stuck
a knife in Texas after they lost the Ohio state
and then you had that that that uh, that failure
for lack of a better word, in Florida. In Gainesville,
everybody stuck a knife in them.

Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
They done take them off the pit. Well, I hate
to tell y'all, but not so fast. They're still alive.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
And not only I think are they alive, I think
they're recharged and and arch the light switch came on,
uh in that Kentucky game.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
And ever since then, I've seen different guy.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Like I'm not saying that because I'm a homer, which
I am a homer, but I'm just saying, yeah, like
you telling me Hardy, you look at me right in
the face and tell me that you haven't seen a
different guy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
I've been saying it since day one. Yeah, so he's
growing up.

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
Yeah, so's It's been an interesting It's gonna be an
interesting week. The intensity is gonna build as the week
goes on, but you can hear it all right here
on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone with the
morning kickoff, and of course you could listen to the
Craig Way Show this afternoon from two to five, and

(01:09:39):

slugger right here on the morning kickoff on Sports Radio

Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
What a great, great show we've had today.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
Special shout out to Joe Cook of Inside Texas, Mark
Vandermere of the Houston Texans.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
And all those that have been involved.

Also want to give a shout out to all the
veterans out there, Happy Veterans Day. We got one that's
working with us behind the boards, our guy Marcus showed
us some of his young young Marcus with his military
ties and looking sharp over there. Thank you Marcus for
protecting those that were all involved, no doubt, no doubt.

(01:10:37):
Also want to make sure that we get this out
there Major League Baseball has been giving out their awards
this week, and it all started Monday. It's gonna go Tuesday.
Today they're gonna give out the Manager.

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
Of the Year awards.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
Wednesday they're gonna give out the Cy Young and Thursday
they're giving out the MVP Awards. Rookie of the Year
went to Nick krutz Kurtz excuse me, unanimous, unanimously voted
as the Rookie of the Year for the Oakland A's.
He was a first baseman. He didn't even start the

(01:11:14):
season in the big leagues. Came up after ninety games,
I believe. And once he got up in the big leagues,
he destroyed the baseball. Bat at two ninety he played
one hundred and seventeen games. Bat at two ninety three,
eighty three slugging I mean on base percentage, slashing. He
was killing the baseball thirty six homers, eighty six RBIs

(01:11:38):
in ninety run scored. He is the Oakland A's first baseman.
A unanimous AL Rookie of the Year's selection. His teammate
Jack Wilson came in second, as he is the shortstop
for the Oakland A's. The A's have some young talent
that are are coming. They just need to get it done.

(01:12:00):
They gotta get it done. The Braves rookie catcher Drake
Baldwin becomes the tenth Braves player to win National League
Rookie of the Year. He had nineteen home runs and
one of the best backstops in the game, matted two
seventy four outstanding young player that achieved something else, the

(01:12:23):
tenth player to be National Rookie of the Year from
the Atlanta Braves. So tonight they will announce Manager of
the Year John Schneider of the Blue Jays, Steven Voight
of the Guardians, and Dan Wilson of the Mariners for
the America League.

Speaker 3 (01:12:41):
For the National League, they have Pat.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
Murphy of the Brewers, Rob Thompson of the Phillies, and
Terry Francona of the Cincinnati Reds.

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
How can you not give it to the manager of
the Dodgers or the manager of the teams they made
it to the World Series because it is a regular
season award.

Speaker 3 (01:13:09):
Okay, you gotta say it was such, Maude?

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
Was it was regular season award? That's just like the
Heisman Trophy regular.

Speaker 3 (01:13:20):
Season right now? Did you queue it up?

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
Hey, hey, that's why they have postseason awards.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Hey, Alo is gonna get their week splay. But to them,
I can't even breathe about the start. You know what,
I'm sensitive.

Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
Don't do that. Shut up, Mike.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
Well, the one thing about it is you always know
that I'm gonna keep it one hundred. There's not always
come in here with these down questions.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
Yeah, Mike, you always coming here with you dude.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
The buck said, well, why don't they give it to
somebody because it's regular season?

Speaker 3 (01:14:09):
That what's up, Trumble.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
But the important part about it is, yes, there are
some opportunities for some of these guys to get it.
Like you look at what Terry Francona was able to
do for the Reds. This is a team that every
place that Terry Francona goes, they find a way to
get it done. He just has the magic touch when
it comes to that. Rob Thompson, you look at the Phillies.

(01:14:33):
They got the one of the better teams in there.
Their pitching staff is on point. And the Milwaukee Brewers
had the best team in baseball until they didn't until
the Dodgers beat them.

Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
So it was regular season.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
They had the best record That's why I believe that
Schneider and Murphy will be the managers of the year.

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
Let me ask you a question. What award did my
guy get? What what award did the Big Dumber gets?
He got the Silver Slugger award. He did not get
the gold glove.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
By the way, just so you know that, Dylan Dillinger
Dingler excuse me, Dylan Dingler catcher for the Tigers.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
Why would son Dylan and his last name is Dingler,
