Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Texans. We are alive in the hun Day Texans
Radio studio.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
For our official Texans schedule release pregame show.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I guess that's what we'll call it, right Johnny.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
With warm up show. It's a pregame show for the
schedule in one hour, so in now it's less than
an hour, you're gonna have the schedule. And I gotta
say this, I've seen, you know how every team makes
the schedule rele these videos. Yeah, yeah, everybody talks about them.
The Titans had that one a couple of years ago.
That was so good and I think it's the best
thing the Titans have ever done is an organization. Really,
(00:32):
you give them credit for that. I'm giving them a
lot of bigger man than I thought you. I'll give
them a lot of credit.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
That's good. I won't give them credit for things on
the football.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, okay, you know we were harkening back to the
twenty fourteen draft last night and talking about Zach Mettenberger.
I'll give them credit for that because I loved Zach
Mettenberger and has a Texan I loved him. Every time
we went up against Zach Mettenberger, Man Watt was going
to eat everybody was gonna eat, We're gonna win.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It was awesome. Zach Mettenberger.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I was all about that he never beat the Texans, Diddy,
I don't think he did. And you know Will Levis
beat the Texans, he'll always he'll always have that to
look back.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
How about that anyway? I don't want to start off
the show like that.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
But our schedule, these video we've got two of them
coming out to one of them has I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Just gonna say this, here's my teaser.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's got a huge celebrity from Houston that we've never
had before, never had. I don't think we've had anything
to do with this person before as the Texans.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
So I am as I'm a super and and everybody tease.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Everybody knows this person, everybody, I know what people, I
know who people are thinking of.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Him.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Wait, am I gonna say this. I'm not gonna reveal
the It's not a gender revealed. Job schedule reveal in
an hour, not a gender reveal. Now for what celebrity
I'm talking about this schedule video, I'm just gonna leave
it at that. I don't wanna, I don't want to
give anything else away. There might be some other people
involved as well, and you've I've seen it.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's good. It's good. It's good. Yes, it's good.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's all I say about that, because I know it'll
be analyzed and picked apart and appreciated all throughout the
evening and tomorrow and the days to come.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'll tell you which one I'm most excited about other
than ours.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Of course, the Rams because they put so much money
into the Cowboys. Chargers.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, they do a good The Chargers did the anime
a couple of years ago, but I watched again what
they did last year.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They did the SIMS, so it's really good.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And looking back it makes even more sense because one
of the things they do with the SIMS is they're
playing the Falcons and so they had Kirk Cousins in
the chain, no shirt on djaying and then all in
a purple jersey, Number nine comes walking in.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Is Michael Pennach Junior beautiful?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Just looking back on it, it was like, Wow, that
Chargers SIMS video is really good. That a bunch of
bunch of hidden eggs or whatever they call them in
that thing.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It was Easter eggs, Easter eggs.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It was we got one of those two this one
that I'm referring to, So stay tuned one hour finale,
it'll be all up on Texans, Instagram, Facebook, all of it. X.
I'm sure we'll snap it out too, probably, I don't know.
I don't know what we're doing on Snapchat lately. That's
one app that I've just really dropped. Yeah, Snapchat's not
(03:14):
I don't know. I just couldn't do it. But still
will not even download TikTok because by the time something
becomes viral on TikTok, I get it on Instagram anyway
or X, and I just can't be addicted to another
social media platform.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
People give me a hard talk on like, are you kidding?
This is becoming a major problem for people. They can't
get off the phone. You can't get off the phone.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
You can't get off the phone. There's too much good stuff.
It knows exactly what you want. It's just sucking you
in and you feel like one of those people in
the spaceship in Wally when you're on your phone, is
you know, like your bone density is evaporating before your
very eyes. Okay, schedule release less than an hour. Look,
look we're gonna talk like this during this hour because
we don't. You know, we're not revealing the schedule right now, right,
(03:56):
we don't have it to give to you right now,
but we do have information because, like we said, there
would be bits of information coming out, confirmed items of information,
and there would also be some leaks that we're not
so sure if this is correct or not, but we're
willing to talk about it because it's out there.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So, for instance, the Texans will not be playing on Christmas.
We could confirm that that is because Netflix has Christmas
and they've got Lions Vikings, Cowboys Commanders.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
How about that? Cowboys Commanders on Christmas and Cowboys on
Thanksgiving as well.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, there are three teams that have Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Is it the Chiefs too? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Okay, yeah, the chief well, the Broncos Chiefs is already
announced for Christmas, and the Chiefs are playing the Cowboys
on Thanksgiving, so they're Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well, that's Christmas.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
That's the one that Florio hypothesized would break the regular
season dealership rep right, and I think he's right about right.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
So you've got Chiefs and Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, Broncos on Christmas, Chiefs, Broncos on Christmas, Ryan's Vikings
on Christmas.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Who the Cowboys playing Thanksgiving? You just said it the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Oh yeah, that's right, they played Chiefs. Okay, so it's confusing.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I know.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
You've got a couple of teams that have got the
Thanksgiving and Christmas double dip.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
See how that goes for them? Yeah, Now Christmas is
a Friday. Yeah, Christmas is a Friday. Better than it
being a Wednesday. A lot better, a lot better better,
So a lot better. Wait is it a Thursday or Friday?
What am I thinking of here? No, it's a Thursday.
I'm sorry, Johnny, it's a Thursday. Yeah, December twenty fifth
has to be a Thursday.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
The twenty first is a Sunday. Yes, twenty eighth is
a Sunday. So seven six five soda. Yeah, Thursday, Thursday, Thursday,
my Thursday. Okay, So Christmas I probably scared a lot
of people, like.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I already made plans.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You knew it better than I did, listener, So Christmas
is a Thursday, and you know, because it's not a
leap year, so it's a day later than it was
last year.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And Wednesday got it all right? Opening weekend?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
We told you last night you've been hearing about it
on this station and wherever you look at NFL information
that Brazil was not going to be the Texans. It
was gonna get the Chiefs and the Chargers in South Pallam.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
So good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But I think that and the Texans do not have
an international game like we can, that is correct. I
think this does one thing about your twenty twenty sixth schedule.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
This is like a ninety nine percent lock.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Take it to the bank that the Texans are going
somewhere next year. They're gonna look, if they look at
teams particular individual situations, they're gonna say, you, guys haven't
been anywhere since twenty nineteen. We were supposed to go
to London last year. Didn't happen for whatever reason I
don't even know. Oh, because we had the Hall of
Fame game, all this other stuff. We're supposed to play
the Biking Vikings. Yeah, now into the Jets this year.
(06:44):
It was going to be a Statuos Deca Mexico city
against who knows. It was going to be a home
game in all likelihood, but the stadium's not ready. No
international game. But the Texas we thought maybe they'd still
go on the road. Maybe you visit the Colts, the
Jags in Europe, or visit the Chargers in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Not happening good. So we know that.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So there's a guy in Jacksonville, and whenever you bring it,
begin a story like that, Yeah, there's a.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Guy in Jacksonville, right, because you know that Jacksonville goes
to the state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
So it's like saying, Florida man, hashtag Florida Man. Flordia
man has a lot of the schedule, allegedly. Allegedly. Now,
he does get a lot of stuff, right.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
He gets some stuff wrong though, right, but it appears
that he's gotten a hold of the Jags schedule and
he was all up in the Jags business all week long,
right because.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
The Jags on their app had all.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
The opponents listed but an alphabetical order without dates, and
everyone got all excited at first they thought it was
the schedule. Yeah, but then you realize, oh, it's alphabetical order.
They're just loading it up. And you know that's something
you can do because teams have to load up those platforms.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, you can't do it all at once.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
It's like setting a timer, like a complicated timer on
your phone. It's pretty easy. You just kind of slide
a little slider button and slide.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
You wake up at four fifteen. But that's it's a
little different. But yeah, he got some of this. There's
a Twitter account called at nerding on. I believe that's
what it. What it is at nerding on is on
the NFL. I can't remember if it's nerding. If you're
really into this, it's NFL nerd. It's it's NFL nerd.
(08:19):
It's at nerding on NFL. He has ninety one point
two percent of the schedule nailed. In fact, I take
that back, I just refreshed. He has one hundred percent
of the schedule filled in.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh, he's got the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
And he does a little Google sheets thing that is
cool as hell. So he's got so he's got a
color coded, he's got the whole thing. He's got color coded.
He's got red for Thursday, night blue for Sunday, night
purple for Monday, pink like a lighter a darker pink
for Saturday, and then a lighter pink for a two
(08:58):
B determined Saturday or Sunday. So he's he's got that.
Then he's got the different he's got green for Brazil,
a lighter green for Dublin London, the light blue Germany, Madrid,
et cetera. He's got every single game. Okay, so every
single game.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Obviously, is he right?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
We don't know, We don't know, I remember, but he's
pretty confident.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Was it a couple of years ago or three years
ago the entire Dolphin schedule was leaked and it was wrong?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah? Yeah, it was totally wrong, and.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
It looked official. And Sean Pendergass brought this up this morning.
He cited a graphic that had the Texans opening at
home against the Broncos. Yes, and I saw it looks
really official because they had a couple of correct games
and it looked like an official graphic. And I also,
I don't even want to say who's sent me this,
but it's somebody who should know better sent me a
graphic yesterday that had the Texans playing in Brazil yesterday.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yes, I'm like, hello, where have you been? McFly? Do
I know this person? You do know this?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And I was like, hello, welcome to Tuesday afternoon schedule, eve,
because we're not going to zill no, right, But it
looked so the graphic this person set me was so
official looking and it had some correct information on there.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
So it leads you to believe it must all be correct. Right,
So if only life were this simple, Yeah, if you're
correct about one thing, you're correct about everything. But it
just doesn't work that way anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Uh So that because do we know or it was
reported that the Broncos open against I saw this report,
So it's either it's a leak or it's confirmed, because
it's hard to keep track of what's both. The Broncos
open at home against the Titans.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
That is correct, okay, according to according to Nerding on
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
According to nerdr on.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I saw somewhere else too, and maybe they got it
from the Nerding guy.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Benjamin Albright does a good job in tracking all this.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Now he's a little ornery sort oh, but he covers
the Bronx. He knows this stuff pretty much inside out.
He was like the first one to respond to that.
I saw that tweet about Texans Broncos Week one, and
he basically was like, this is wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Okay, So like, okay, that was a home game, right,
Texans hosting the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Has to be a report as a report? All right?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Well, we'll see, but now we know what we think.
We have pretty good clarity that the Broncos are probably
hosting the Titans to open up.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
That is correct. That would mean they cannot play here.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
So it's all it's anybody's guests, all right, So you
tell me Nerd on the This is just such fun conversation,
all right. The guy, the man in Florida, who does
he have the Texans? I want to know this the opener?
Who does he have for the opener? And who does
he have for the closer? Because you and I made
a mock schedule and I want to see if he
was listening to us, because if he if we nailed
(11:36):
his prediction, then maybe he's just listening to us.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
The opener.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I don't think either one of us were gotten. Now
we I went with.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Brazil, right, Oh yeah, that's what we did.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
We both went with kind of knew it was not Brazil,
but I just throw people off the cent a little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Wait, if you're picking a bracket, which this is not,
but if it was or a mod draft, why would
you do it?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You know is incorrect?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Well, sometimes you have said Ina, you don't want people to.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Know, Oh, you don't want people to know that. You know,
Oh so you just knew that we weren't going to Brazil.
But yeah, I knew it down Jacksonville. Man have us
opening against.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
In LA against the La Rams. It has to be
the Rams. He can't be the Chargers. That's right.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It gave me the Chargers, is right, all right? So
that's opening week at the Rams. That was one neither
one of us would have come up with. No, we
never would. We never want to put that down.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
On the mix.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I would have thought divisional game or yes, you know,
some something in this time zone or east yep.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I just wouldn't think West. I guess it's possible. Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
The Texas have not been on the West coast to
open the season since the Chargers in twenty thirteen, so
that would be a first for a while.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
And Philip Rivers gave us a gift that night. He did.
He gave us a pick pick six six Brian Cushing.
Very nice.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I was hesitating there because some people still say shop
through a pick six in that game, but he did not.
He threw a pick almost six A and here's the ball.
That was that really a good favorable position.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Twenty thirteen Unfortunately did turn into Matt throwing a number
of picks.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
That he was just getting warmed up that night for
what was to come. Right, Sorry, Matt, that was awful,
But we did rally to win that football game.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
We did out on the West Coast.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So going back, this would be the first time that
we well it was gonna be regardless of when we play,
it's the first time that we will have played a
regular season game in SOFI.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Okay, And this is the one thing I also love.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
We have two games at SOFI, we have one game
in Indianapolis. We have eight road games, so eight minus
three is five. We only go outside five times, outside
outside five times in the twenty seventeen what are the.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Potential The potential weather hazards are Baltimore, Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
City, Kansas City, Jacksonville, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Jacksonville. No, I'm not going to call that a weather hazard.
It could be actually, you know it's possibly whoa.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
I know, you get to sit up in your beautiful
booth in Jacksonville. But twenty twenty one, I got just
a da louge came down on me. In twenty twenty one, Yeah,
Davis made that great throat of filled Torset got us
down there for a touchdown. I got hammered. That was
hamm and cold rain. Now, there have been times where
it's been decently cold. Two thousand and four, Jacksonville was
(14:21):
super cold. It was the day after Christmas and it
was super cold. Yeah, all right, so but I'll tell
you this, it can't be I'll tell you this though,
I would much rather have Jacksonville later in the year
than earlier in the year because it can get very salty.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, a little warlier into the warm, okay, little warm.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And we all know Nashville is definitely a weather hazard
because of what happened in twenty twenty two there.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Right, because that was the second to last game of
the year that was freezing and it was delayed by
an hour and it was awful, Right, So that was
what we went cold, Texans won.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Texas won. So I'm cold.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I'm fine with it. I don't care what the weather is.
We walk out of there. We went to Buffalo in
twenty one and it rained the entire game. We lost
forty to nothing. I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Well, we went to Jacksonville. We wanted twenty twenty one
in a downpour. Yeah, it was great. Same with Tennessee
that year. Downpour was great. So there's there.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Look, there's a potential if there's no roof, there's a
potential for weather anywhere you go.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
You know, you keep winning this division, you're gonna keep
playing Kansas City every year as long as they keep
winning their division.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Well, and if you keep winning the division, you're gonna
play one of three teams. Well, they're gonna play three teams, Baltimore, Buffalo,
Kansas City, outside, outside, outside. Now the new stadium in Buffalo,
will see how that gets impacted because they've got kind
of like a shelf. When does that open twenty seven?
I think because.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Titan's opening a couple of years. I don't think twenty six.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Think in Buffalo's and if we both win a division,
we would be up there that year.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So next year at Buffalo News Stadium Titans new Stadium,
I think twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I want twenty seven. I think that's right. Let mean
double check on that.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
But you know I saw it last year when we
were there, and I thought, you know, put some drywall
on it, throw some seats in there, you'll be good
to go for twenty six.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Come on, I think the Titans.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Twenty six for Buffalo, definitely twenty seven for Tennessee. Okay,
now I'm almost positive of that, all right, But.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Who does Jacksonville man, who allegedly has the entire schedule? Now,
who does he have the Texans closing with? So are
my fave my favor meaning the Colts?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
But here or there? Here? All right? Have we ever
finished with the Colts here? And we kighteen? I don't
think we have, thinking I'm thinking I don't think we
have either.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I'm thinking it's Titans schedule real fast, tightan schedule is scheduled.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
To be open in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Okay, so really, gosh, it looks so so if the Bills,
if the Bills went division, we went in division.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
We will go see that new stadium in twenty sixth.
And you know we're gonna see the Titans soon enough. Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
If it's true that the Texans closed with the Colts, yeah,
the first time you'll ever closed with the Colts here.
You've done it there obviously in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Was great. But here the clothes are uh.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
No, definitely have closed with the Titans here definitely have
closed with the Jaguars here, yes, have not done.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
It with the Colt of those never with the Colts.
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
But if that's true, Nerding on NFL says, we are
closing with the Colts at home in week eighteen.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And you and I have that on our mock schedule.
We both had us closing.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
We had closing with the Colts good for us.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So if he's missed a lot, we're right.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
We really could celebrate being right once like a you know,
broken clock twice a day. So that's pretty cool stuff
right there. We're all curious with the primetime games because
I predicted four. And by the way, at seven, Johnny
and I'll go on YouTube for the Houston Texans account
because we're on YouTube right now in Sports Radio six
tens page Live.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Hello, Hello, everybody.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Do you want to know what Nerding on NFL has
for us as far as primetime primetime games?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I do. Would you like to know? Because I predicted four?
You predicted too. I am so wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Here's the chronicle predicted according to Nerding on NFL, I
am so wrong.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
And according to Nerding on the NFL, you are so
right for four.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Okay, here's what. Here's what Nerding on the NFL has.
Uh And it's nice because they have my color codes
and now I now I visually can do it in
my head.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Week two Monday nighter. Bucks? Okay?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Here week two? So last year week too, we got
a Sunday nighter. It's the Bears. This year we get
a Monday nighter.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That's what Nerding on NFL says. So Nerding on NFL says,
Bucks Monday nights. Weird? Opening at home? That seems weird.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I'm not saying it's impossible, right, but opening NFC NFC, Yeah,
that seems kind of strange.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Have we ever done that most of the time? When
have we played NFC team in Week two or Week one?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Kay?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Who'd you open with? In twenty ten? It was Colts
and then went to Washington. I'm trying to think of that.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
We Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Week one Washington here, twenty fourteen, Week two Raiders.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Oh well, I was gonna say twenty eighteen, but that
was the Giants was week three?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And Week one twenty eighteen was Patriots. Oh, pat went
Patriots Titans?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Giants?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
We want Patriots?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
We went Patriots Titans the road than the Giants, if that.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That is true, if that Rams Bucks, yeah, duo to
open up the season.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Is the first time we've gone NFCNFC. I think it's
got to be. I think it's got to be. I
can't imagine another scenario the case. Okay, now this next one,
but you know what was seventeen games to get the
extra Nfcah, speaking NFC, there are some teams.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
In NFC we have to go to.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Okay, the next primetime game that Nerding on NFL has
is Week seven. Wait for this, okay, Monday night? Okay
at Seattle. Oh my, No, that's crap. They wouldn't do that.
They wouldn't do that to us. Oh man, they would
not do that to us. The first two primetimers are
(20:03):
Monday nighters, one and home against Tampa Bay and one
on the road Seattle Monday Night.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I want to know what this guy's track record is.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
His chart looks pretty official.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, yeah, but you could write anything on the charge
and balances out.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That's another thing. It's got to balance out.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
It doesn't have to balance out. At some point you
figure out.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Okay, you want to know our next primetime case that
I figured.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
One of these West Coast games, whether it be the Chargers,
the Rams, or the Seahawks, would be a primetime game,
because I don't want him to be a primetime game.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
So I figured none of them would be only because look,
here's another thing. And look, we talk about a lot
of things. We take a lot of different angles on
these shows, and one of the angles is work life
balance or.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Whatever whatever you want to call it. But I understand
one thing very clearly.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I actually want as many primetime games as possible because
that means you're good. And the peacher go through this
every year, and the really good teams survived every year.
The Chiefs survived every year. They thrive through it. The
Patriots when they were rolling thrive through it. The Steelers
they get near the max, if not the max, every
(21:15):
single year.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Now so do the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
And we know they don't do that great every year,
but they're coming off going into last year, three consecutive
twelve win seasons, and you know they get the full
compliment of primetime games.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yep. So good for them for having those good regular seasons.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
In the midst of primetime, your routine is all jarred
up and it's not about us.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Of course, it's about the players.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It's about what the players are experiencing, their bodies, their
recovery time, their ability to ramp up for the next outing,
all of that stuff. So that's why I bring this up.
When the Texans had all the noon starts in twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
How did they do pretty well? Pretty well? You know,
with a routine. They needed the routine every week every week.
Last year, what did Demiko riots do in the preseason?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
He had two preseason home games and he said, We're
gonna go noon noon because I want to get the
guys used to playing at noon. We're playing a lot
of new games now, obviously not all the games are new,
but his point was, that's how important is My point is,
that's how important is.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Routine is to your football team.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
You want to have that consistency in getting ready week
to week. So if they've got to go on the
West Coast to play a primetime game, so be it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
You're a good team. Hopefully you play well. And as
far as Seattle's fine, that's interesting. Think about this, Johnny Seattle.
The flight to San Francisco is like two fifteen ish, right,
twenty two fifteen that's a little longer than that. You
think it's wait for us, no, no, no, for Seattle,
Seattle yea yea yeah, yeah, yeah, it's that's more than two,
(22:39):
that's right, but not much more, that's correct. That's their
shortest flight ever. Yeah, that's that's nothing to them, all right.
So when they go to La Arizona, those are longer, obviously,
and then they go to East Coast gate East coast
teams back to back weeks. Sometimes they'll stay on the
East Coast. They travel a lot on a Friday, the Rams,
(23:00):
all those West Coast teams very often, I think most
of the time when they go east, when they have
to go three hour time zone difference, still travel on
a Friday, get acclimated, and then buzz back after the game.
That's a lot of travel. You want to talk where
and tear. Those teams go through way more than anybody,
you know. The Eagles and Giants take the train to
each other. Yeah, exactly, I mean that, I mean they
(23:23):
showed I can't remember.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
They saw graphic the other day about the number of
miles that each team was traveling. And Seattle's always gonna
travel the most, always gonna travels, always especially when they have.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
If they've got NFC East, AFC East, right, that is
a ton of stuff for them to deal with. And
like I said, I mean taking the train to an
NFL game. What is this, Joe Don Baker and the
natural whatever you got, man out, I.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Take a train. We can take a train. We get
that bullet train from here to Dallas.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
We play the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I'll take it all right, we got there's two more
primetime games that Nerding on NFL has scheduled for. I
don't know if he's right, but it's kind of fun
talk about it. If he's right, do you want to
hear those? You want to take a break and come
back to me to tease it.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
We'll tease those, tease it.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
There's two possible correct leaks possible.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
It's the best we got till seven pm. Fots possible,
correctly possible, you never know.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Also, a Texans opponent, they'll be going down the road
to face this team.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
They've never beaten this team on the road. They made
a huge splash today. We'll tell you about that as well.
Next here on Texans Radio. Texans schedule release video And
this is not one where you want to get the
information about the schedule from This is one of the
fun ones that all the teams do. It's this unofficial
competition among the teams to one up each other in
the schedule release video madness.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
We've had some good ones over the years. The tech
Bo Bowl one was awesome. One year we did a
football remember backyard football? Yeah, that was the one. Right.
The year we did Game of Thrones, three other teams did. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I saw that A couple of the video guys were
mad at me because I would not allow This is
when I ran the whole department. I would not allow
us to use the music. I said, I don't want
to get my ass sued. Okay, I do not. I
do not want to get to it. And guess what happened.
They all got sued. So yeah, I felt like we
(25:15):
dodged a bull. I said, it's not worth it. So
we had like sounds like Game of Thrones music, like
you know, just changed or two notes off whatever I
did just there by the way, a cappella was not
Game of Thrones like, So I apologize for that, all right,
you tell me. Jacksonville, Florida man who's allegedly got the
whole schedule and putting it out on Twitter, NFL nerd.
(25:38):
That's the account on x SO. He claims to have
the entire league schedule.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Now he's got it all laid out, some leaks, so
these are totally uncompect.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
He took leaks and turned it into a damn Niagara Falls.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Texan's fans are going nuts, read it all over social
media everywhere, trying to figure out if this could be true.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
But you said he had four primetime game.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Yes, we've already discussed two.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Week two, Okay, home Tampa Bay Monday night. Okay, Week
seven at Seattle Monday night.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I just can't believe that. But again, I guess it's possible, possible,
gotta be possible, gotta be possible.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
The next primetime game, yeah, occurs on a Thursday night
at home.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
The Buffalo Bills Week twelve, that's what he says. Buffalo
Bills Bills Thursday night here. Really Wow, We're gonna make
the Bills come here on a.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Thursdays are gonna have to travel Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I'm a Bills fan, I'm not happy with that, or
a Bills player not happy with that. Again, I don't
know about these leaks, but Okay, I figured the Texans,
we're gonna get a Monday, a Thursday, a Sunday, and
then throw in one more. Yeah, probably a Monday, not
another Thursday.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
I would think, uh, oh boy, yeah, there's one more.
There's one more. There's one more. Two weeks later, two
weeks after the bill. Weeks after the bill. So who
does he have us playing on the road Sunday night?
Oh football? Oh boy?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Baltimore, the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, their prime time huh?
One of how many primetime games?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
All right? So how many primetime games does NFL nerd
Okay have the Chiefs playing? I want to call this.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
This is fascinating. Look at the chief schedule. So he
started in Brazil national TV window. Yeah, he says, we two.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
They have Philly, but that's it's a regular game, the
regular game, Fox and CVS game.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
They do need some good matchups, don't get that one? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Then they have a Sunday Night at Giants.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Then they're home against Baltimore, which again will probably be
a three twenty five game. Then they get Monday night
at Jacksonville.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
What home Detroit?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Stop the press. Chiefs to Jacksonville on Monday Night. I'm
starting to doubt the credibility. Why would the league do this?
Oh you know why. ESPN kind of get screwed with
the Monday night schedule a little bit. They'll throw in
some man because they have to have Fox and CBS
getting great something. NBC, even though NBC doesn't pay as
much as Disney NBC, they've always taken good care of
(28:21):
them on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Night, marking over a span of six weeks.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, they'll play two Sunday night games in two Monday
night games.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Well, it's the chief.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
The two Sunday night games are at Giants home Detroit.
The Monday night games are at Jacksonville Home. Commanders.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Is there if Travis Kelsey breaks up with Taylor Swift
opt out clubs in the deal.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Okay, even after that, then you go down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Then they play Dallas and Thanksgiving, they play US on
Sunday night at home. Then they play Christmas Day against
the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Boy, they are loaded. They loaded with national windows. But
would be the case? Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
When I look at this, the fact that it's color coded,
you can kind of see where the NFL wants their
games if I were to tell you the NFC East.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
It is loaded. It is loading with National TV one.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Now that Washington's good again, you knew this would be
the case. Are the defending champs. The Giants are the
Giants even when they Dallas always gets Dallas.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, new York market, the Giants are gonna get their
fair share because you get.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Any kind of number in New York, that's a lot
of numbers. That's the biggest market in the country.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
So according according to this, yeah, take the Cowboys starting
in week nine, Monday night Arizona, Week ten, bye, Week eleven,
Monday Night at Las Vegas, Week twelve home Philly, nothing
or a Sunday game, yeah, then Kansas City on Thanksgiving,
(30:00):
after that a Thursday night at Detroit. Then after that
a Sunday night against the Vikings, after that home game
against the Chargers that's on Sunday, then Christmas against Washington.
They have a national TV window in one, two, three, four, five,
six games, And I could promise you if Dallas is
(30:21):
any good, that Dallas Philly game will be the three
twenty five game on that that particular day and Week twelve.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
But what if Dallas sucks like last year? Yeah, you
get stuck with all these games do but people still
like watching the Cowboys lose.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
That's now, that's true against.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
That's the brand, But that's it.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
But like the NFC East, how many at count forer
Dallas one two three four five six seven eight eight
National TV Windows Philly one two three, four, five six
seven seven for Philly, Washington keep Ready one two three four,
five six seven eight.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Washington has more than Philly.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, crazy, unbelievable, But I mean it's it's a bet
you're making. I mean, obviously three teams nfcas and your
focus is on those streets.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Is Washington more interesting than Philadelphia? Because Jayden Daniels Is
he more exciting than Jalen Hurts. I don't want to
disrespect Jalen Hurts, local guy and he wins, so I'll
go with Jailen Hurts. But Daniels is exciting. Now, what
if they have some sort of comeback to Earth sort
of situation here?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
I mean it has always a risk here. It's the NFL.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
There's always a chance that you have teams that you
didn't think we're gonna be good at all that turn
out to be good. It happens every year, or you
have teams that you thought were gonna be great and
they turn out to be terrible, like.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
The Jags, like the Cowboys when Da gets hurt. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, I mean not just because the deck getting hurt,
because he was playing last year and they were still
struggling mightily. Now they might have righted the ship at
some point or won enough games to be semi relevant
at the end of the season.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
So do you want to know, uh what Nerding on NFL?
Because who knows whether this is right or not? H
some things we are skeptical of. Would you like to
know when the bye week is?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
All? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Tell me when Nerding at whatever his name is Nerding
on NFL has the Texans bye week?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Am I going to be upset about this? Just tell
me this. I don't know about that. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I don't know because last year it was what week fourteen? Yeah,
I was a little upset about that. It was thirteen
straight game. So what are you gonna give me this
year for the bye? At least this guy from Jacksonville
Week six? That's so early, that's so early? Well, was
it in twenty twenty three? Demiko's first year. Was it
six or seven?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Or five? Uh? Ridiculous? Was six? It was six? I
think I think it was the same thing. Last year.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
We talked about how there was thirteen games in a row. Now,
there were a lot of other factors. We started camp
ten days early than everybody else.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Yeah, you know we had that.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
You had an extra preseason game, then thirteen games in
a row.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, add all that to the thirteen games in a row. Right,
that was tough.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Now you'll play five games before the bye, but then
play twelve consecutive after it.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
What it's so extreme?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Last year you had this, Now you have this allegedly reportedly.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
It's weird because just looking across there are only three
teams of the week eight bye. What there are only
three teams of the week nine by.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
When Joe Burrow wanted to take a break, the whole
league has a weekend off like Joe.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
No, no, no, no, no, no, let me take just such
a gen z answer. I know it. Just take a break.
We need a mental health take a break.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
No no, no, no, no, that's not the way this thing works.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I mean it's.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Built perfectly for several teams to have a week off
here and there, and then everybody goes. Now, Joe has
a point in this, Johnny, what if you made all
the buyes the middle four weeks.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Okay, see, I think that's what you should do.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
And then you just said, we're just gonna go No,
it's too much, stop me, stop me. It's work, all right.
So how many teams you have thirty two teams? You
have eight teams off? Let's just go even here. Eight
teams off a week for a four week period. That's
too many teams off per a week for each of
those weeks. Yeah, because now AB now, CBS and NBC
(34:26):
on Sunday, I'm sorry, let's go back the afternoon network. CBS,
Fox are gonna be pissed because Sunday.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Night they're gonna get like Titans Jags at three twenty five.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, exactly. And the Sunday night needs to eat, and
Thursday night needs to eat. Yeah, and Monday needs something.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Listen, there are a lot of days in trips and
visits that have to be fed. Just looking at the
top of how he said the spreadsheet, Thursday night, Sunday Night,
Monday night, Saturday.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
At the end of the year, you've got Saturday or Sunday.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You got those Saturday games on top of a Brazil trip,
an Ireland trip, London trips, Berlin trip trip.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Minnesota is going Ireland London, right, I mean, now you're
away from your family for a long time. Unless they
do the old Thursday ruski. They'll probably do that. They'll
fly out Thursday night for Ireland for Ireland. Altho it's
from Minnesota. Yeah, they you can do it for Ireland
Ireland play a Sunday.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
They travel to London, stay in London for the week playing,
come Sunday, take a buy. And that's what I was
saying we should do.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Now it's obviously not as long a trip, not along
a flight. Yeah, that's what I was saying. Which is
you gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
If for playing the Rams, but you can open The
Colts have the same deal. They got to play the
Chargers and the Rams on the West Coast. However, no
are they playing the Falcons in Europe. They're playing the
Falcons in Germany, in Germany in Berlin. Yeah. Yeah, the
Colts mirror us. Whatever we do, the Colts do.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
So we play at Rams at Chargers, they play at
Rams at Chargers I'm telling.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
You, we follow the league closer than anybody, or as
close as anybody, yep. And the International Games to keep
reminding myself where they are. I was talking to somebody yesterday.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
It's gonna grow mark, it's gonna get even, it's gonna
get eight.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
It's already how many games are over there now seven
It's gonna be impossible to keep track ruse average fan,
even the well educated above average fan. I was talking
to somebody yesterday. They said, oh, they're going back to Munich.
I said, actually, they're going to Berlin, which is very different.
It's like saying we're going to Philadelphia. No, you're not,
You're going to Atlanta. It's it's like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
I mean that's like a distance necessarily, but in mentality,
and it's a different German city.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah. So the Kansasity Chiefs is tweeted out this is funny.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
It says, can you walk across the Panama Canal asking
for a friend? And it has the map of from
Arrowhead all the way down to the stadium in Brazil
Arena Corinthians if you walk four and twenty three miles.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
If you were to walk in it would takes sixty
two days.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
If you start now, you're in good shape to get
the opener.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Get there for the opener now.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I'm sure there's nothing in your way. Nothing, and get
to South America.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
I mean maybe the run. Can you go across the
Panama Canal? So yeah, James Palmer said this. He said
the NFL will have the game in Brazil between the
Chiefs Chargers live on YouTube. Bring the NFL to a
worldwide audience for free on YouTube and YouTube TV.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Say I love YouTube TV. I know some people that don't.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
It marks YouTube's first time as a live NFL broadcaster.
And I saw earlier where I think the CBS crew
will be doing that game.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
So take the other night. I'll give it again in
case you missed it. Folks.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
They're doing this because number one, they don't need to
charge extra for this YouTube correct. They will make plenty
of money on the commercials. They'll have a national window.
They want as many people as possible to tune into
YouTube and more season meaning older viewers to put YouTube
on their living room flat screen. And a lot of
(37:58):
people have never done that. Now I've done it. I've
got a young kid, though I don't know if I
would have done it unless.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
I had occasion to do it because of him.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
We watched the We watched a movie on YouTube by
my flat screen recently, Pistol Pete. I couldn't find it
anywhere else. There's this Pistol Pete movie. H Yeah, it's
just about Crystal Pete in the eighth grade. My kid
plays basketball and it's a pistol. It's yeah, and it's
very it's kind of after school specialist, but it's really
good for that. And we watched it on YouTube by
my flat screen. So yeah, we've done it, and a
(38:28):
lot of people have done. A lot of people listening
right now saying, really, that's a big deal. It is
a big deal. They want the older viewer to pop
onto YouTube in addition to everything else they're going to
get out of this game, which is worldwide instant distribution.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
That's why they love Netflix too.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
When they eventually go to an international schedule, they're going
to create this bidding more between YouTube and Netflix because
those are the two that can give you automatic international
distribution without any geo fencing problems or anything at all.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Has the most subscribers.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
YouTube is the biggest change in the world outside of
Google itself, and they're owned by Google.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
I have an idea for Netflix.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
What I have an idea and it would tie perfectly,
you know how on on HBO Max, like when there was.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
A big boxing match.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Yeah, and then they would do that show twenty four
to seven.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Yeah, they would kind of go behind.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
The seeds as they were building up to the game
and then building up to the boxing match. They should
do that for Netflix. Netflix should do like a Chargers,
a Chief Chargers, like building up to that game, have
somebody watching, people would watch. It would be like, you know,
it'd be like Hard Knocks. You know, I guarantee you
people would watch it.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
That's the come on Netflix if you're doing all kinds
of other documentaries, and.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Look, before people think that kills your season. The teams
that played there last year did pretty well. Green Bay
made the playoffs and the Eagles won the Super Bowl.
So you have that, you have that to look forward to.
I did not get to pay off the other t's,
which was textans opponent making a big splash today. So
let's get to that next and we'll set you up
with a schedule release. It's coming up in about sixteen
(39:58):
minutes less than sixteen minutes, the schedule will be out
and the Texans ticket office is ready for business. Houston,
Texans dot com. Check it out. It's Texans Radio. Oh yeah,
great to have you with us. All right, better get
to this now. Baltimore, the Texans will be there this
year road game with the Ravens. Have never beaten Baltimore
(40:19):
in Baltimore. They had one year left out of the
Derek Henry contract, but decided to extend the deal. Why
why do they extend the deal because we all think,
all right, Maybe we don't all think this. I think,
and I thought this about Brady too. Maybe he's the
Brady of running backs. I always felt, Brady, you know,
another year or two, it's gotta be over. And I
(40:39):
was probably saying that in twenty seventeen. So maybe I'm
way off on Henry sign him now, I guess. But really,
he's a running back. You have another year with him,
for sure, I know it's a contract year. He'd probably
want to stay. Maybe he wouldn't, and then you get
into a bidding war. I'm talking myself into resigning him
right now now or signing that extension.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
What are your thoughts on it?
Speaker 3 (41:03):
I just think he's different than anybody else's play that position.
Like he has shown no signs of slowing down at all,
and we've seen him work like he.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
He Texas able to totally shut him down in twenty twenty
three in two.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Games and then because he ran behind a got off
offensive line.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
But he still has as his quarterback. What did he
have that year? A lot? Still had a lot of year.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
He was over a thousand yards, but he you know,
the Texas run defense was good that year. Wasn't the
best thing ever, But I felt like twenty three's run
defense was maybe a little better than twenty four's, especially
when we played them.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
They couldn't do anything against us.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
So in twenty twenty three, Henry had like a eleven
one hundred and sixty seven yards right, one point two per.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Care and he had like twenty against US total something
like that.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
He saw the.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Worst days the way you spending a certain number of
carries and how few are ards he had right in the.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
History of the league.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
I think it was the worst day considering the about
of carry as they gave him because they kept thinking, oh,
this one's gonna pop. But in twenty two last year,
he said, you know what, I'm going to run for
over nineteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
Yards five point naper carry. Okay, he's playing next to
Lamar Jackson. I mean it's a you know, he not
only like to that to that end. He's playing, he's
playing behind a good offensive line. He's playing with Lamar
Jackson that always takes a defender.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
Out of the box whenever you're playing him.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
So he's not running against eight nine man boxes safeties
that are within eight yards of the line of scrimmage
because they didn't fear the passing game or they don't
fear the quarterback like they fear.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
We all fear Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
Now it makes Henry that much more difficult to stop.
And I'll be honest, nineteen hundred yards rushing last year.
Now he's in the second year of that system.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
It could be even more dangerous.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Okay, with another thousand, let's just call it a thousand
this year. Okay, he gets to he gets close to tenth,
he gets to eleventh on.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
The all time rushing list.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
Really, yeah, let's say he goes for three thousand more yards.
That'll put him in the top five. He'll pass Adrian Peterson.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
It's about right, and here's the thing. The first couple
of years of his career, he really didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
Yeah, it was it really was not. It was really
not much.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Because DeMarco Murray he was doing the exoty whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
Tomarco Murray, and then he just couldn't kind of find
his footing. He had that seventy five yard run against
US in seventeen, but it was like, eh, that really
wasn't much there. And then on Thursday night against Jacksonville
he had that ninety nine yard run against Jacksonville and
it was like that set everything off.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Broke the seal.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
That was it, all of a sudden.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
From that point forward, you're dealing with this absolute monster.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
I'm with you, he is different than any everybody else's.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
I just feel like worth that much. He's getting up
there now, so is it worth it? But I guess
you know, when you look at this all time running
back list and you look at the names between him
and where he has to go to get to the
top five, and you're looking at Curtis Martin and Ladenium, Tomlinson,
him Back and Dickerson and all these guys, he's one
of those guys.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
You know, he's different than there's no doubt he's I've
never feared a running back, and I'll say that fear
of respect, like the biblical fear. I've never feared a
running back the way I do Derrick Henry.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Yeah, whenever he goes, whenever he gets the ball, I
hold and look, we're we have some serious PTSD from
two hundred yard games that he had like four in
a row against us. And it wasn't our best team though,
I'll get it twisted, but we were not very good.
Yet when he got the football, it's like, oh damn,
I could just I remember seeing him break through the
line in twenty twenty and at ninety four yard run,
(44:39):
and it was like we had one guy step out
of his gap. Not surprising him was that cutting inn,
but he stepped out of his gap and he's gone,
you're not running him down. I thought we had fast guys.
Fast guys were chasing after him and not catching him.
And he just wasn't the identity of that team for
so long. And then he goes to another team where
they've got a similar identity, but they do.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
Everything that much better.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Plus his quarterback is Lamar Jackson, who could very easily
be a three time MVP right now, he's got two,
could have very easily gotten a third last year.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
But that said, I think I don't think it's a
bad move at all.
Speaker 3 (45:17):
I mean, you feel like that's a pretty good bet
because Henry has stayed relatively healthy for the most part,
and that element of he and Lamar together, man.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
It scares me to death.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
It absolutely scares me to death with those two back
there and the fact that we have to go play.
You said it, we have now won a Baltimore. We
have not won at Seattle.
Speaker 1 (45:39):
And haven't beaten Lamar Jackson, haven't beaten Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
So you win, you beat the Ravens, you will have
done both, beat Lamar Jackson and knocked him off up
in Baltimore. And that to me is kind of a
I don't know, statement game, but just kind of a
gauge It's a temperature gauge game.
Speaker 4 (45:57):
Where are you? How good are you?
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Because I think Baltimore is going to be good again.
So when does NFL nerds say we're going to Baltimore.
Speaker 4 (46:05):
Week five, Week five, last game before the bye.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
According to Nerding on NFL, he's got us in an
early buy.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
We'll see and you know what we're gonna know in
six minutes, Johnny, in less than six minutes.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
Six minutes. Dougie Fresh were on.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
All right, So few a few notes here, schedule videos,
the fun ones coming out at seven o'clock, texting, social
media platforms.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
You gotta check them out.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
I can't mention huge Houston based or Houston originated celebrity
that we've never done anything with, and that to my knowledge,
I still haven't figured this out yet. Really, it's huge.
It's gonna be good. Now I've had all these wrong guesses.
People are texting me and stuff.
Speaker 3 (46:45):
I had one in my mind and then I realized,
oh man, George Foreman passed away this past spring.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Well I love George Forman.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
Yeah, so that was the first one that came to
my butt. Then I was like, wait a second with
Ais So he did some stuff with us back for
the very first Playoff game that I was a part
twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
Yeah, he did the video, yeah, which is great. It
was really cool.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
Cool, No, Davis, all right, so those videos come out,
Johnny and I will be on YouTube on the Texans
page with reaction to the schedule, So you don't want
to miss that. That's gonna be a seven ish, so
we'll talk about the schedule, and I'm sure Area forty
five they're going to talk about the schedule as well
because the schedule's out, and they'll react everything else going
(47:28):
out in the world of sports. And that is it
for the show. Enjoy getting the schedule. Houston Texas dot
com for all the information you need. Check out ticket
availability and everything else, travel opportunities. The dates are coming
up in minutes. Thank you Chris for producing. We've been
live here on the hun Day Texans Radio Studio. Have
a great night, Go Texans.
Hello, Texans. We are alive in the hun Day Texans
Radio studio.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
For our official Texans schedule release pregame show.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I guess that's what we'll call it, right Johnny.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
With warm up show. It's a pregame show for the
schedule in one hour, so in now it's less than
an hour, you're gonna have the schedule. And I gotta
say this, I've seen, you know how every team makes
the schedule rele these videos. Yeah, yeah, everybody talks about them.
The Titans had that one a couple of years ago.
That was so good and I think it's the best
thing the Titans have ever done is an organization. Really,
(00:32):
you give them credit for that. I'm giving them a
lot of bigger man than I thought you. I'll give
them a lot of credit.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
That's good. I won't give them credit for things on
the football.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, okay, you know we were harkening back to the
twenty fourteen draft last night and talking about Zach Mettenberger.
I'll give them credit for that because I loved Zach
Mettenberger and has a Texan I loved him. Every time
we went up against Zach Mettenberger, Man Watt was going
to eat everybody was gonna eat, We're gonna win.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It was awesome. Zach Mettenberger.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I was all about that he never beat the Texans, Diddy,
I don't think he did. And you know Will Levis
beat the Texans, he'll always he'll always have that to
look back.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
How about that anyway? I don't want to start off
the show like that.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
But our schedule, these video we've got two of them
coming out to one of them has I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Just gonna say this, here's my teaser.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's got a huge celebrity from Houston that we've never
had before, never had. I don't think we've had anything
to do with this person before as the Texans.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
So I am as I'm a super and and everybody tease.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Everybody knows this person, everybody, I know what people, I
know who people are thinking of.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Him.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Wait, am I gonna say this. I'm not gonna reveal
the It's not a gender revealed. Job schedule reveal in
an hour, not a gender reveal. Now for what celebrity
I'm talking about this schedule video, I'm just gonna leave
it at that. I don't wanna, I don't want to
give anything else away. There might be some other people
involved as well, and you've I've seen it.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's good. It's good. It's good. Yes, it's good.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's all I say about that, because I know it'll
be analyzed and picked apart and appreciated all throughout the
evening and tomorrow and the days to come.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'll tell you which one I'm most excited about other
than ours.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Of course, the Rams because they put so much money
into the Cowboys. Chargers.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, they do a good The Chargers did the anime
a couple of years ago, but I watched again what
they did last year.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They did the SIMS, so it's really good.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And looking back it makes even more sense because one
of the things they do with the SIMS is they're
playing the Falcons and so they had Kirk Cousins in
the chain, no shirt on djaying and then all in
a purple jersey, Number nine comes walking in.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Is Michael Pennach Junior beautiful?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Just looking back on it, it was like, Wow, that
Chargers SIMS video is really good. That a bunch of
bunch of hidden eggs or whatever they call them in
that thing.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It was Easter eggs, Easter eggs.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It was we got one of those two this one
that I'm referring to, So stay tuned one hour finale,
it'll be all up on Texans, Instagram, Facebook, all of it. X.
I'm sure we'll snap it out too, probably, I don't know.
I don't know what we're doing on Snapchat lately. That's
one app that I've just really dropped. Yeah, Snapchat's not
(03:14):
I don't know. I just couldn't do it. But still
will not even download TikTok because by the time something
becomes viral on TikTok, I get it on Instagram anyway
or X, and I just can't be addicted to another
social media platform.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
People give me a hard talk on like, are you kidding?
This is becoming a major problem for people. They can't
get off the phone. You can't get off the phone.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
You can't get off the phone. There's too much good stuff.
It knows exactly what you want. It's just sucking you
in and you feel like one of those people in
the spaceship in Wally when you're on your phone, is
you know, like your bone density is evaporating before your
very eyes. Okay, schedule release less than an hour. Look,
look we're gonna talk like this during this hour because
we don't. You know, we're not revealing the schedule right now, right,
(03:56):
we don't have it to give to you right now,
but we do have information because, like we said, there
would be bits of information coming out, confirmed items of information,
and there would also be some leaks that we're not
so sure if this is correct or not, but we're
willing to talk about it because it's out there.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So, for instance, the Texans will not be playing on Christmas.
We could confirm that that is because Netflix has Christmas
and they've got Lions Vikings, Cowboys Commanders.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
How about that? Cowboys Commanders on Christmas and Cowboys on
Thanksgiving as well.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, there are three teams that have Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Is it the Chiefs too? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Okay, yeah, the chief well, the Broncos Chiefs is already
announced for Christmas, and the Chiefs are playing the Cowboys
on Thanksgiving, so they're Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well, that's Christmas.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
That's the one that Florio hypothesized would break the regular
season dealership rep right, and I think he's right about right.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
So you've got Chiefs and Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, Broncos on Christmas, Chiefs, Broncos on Christmas, Ryan's Vikings
on Christmas.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Who the Cowboys playing Thanksgiving? You just said it the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Oh yeah, that's right, they played Chiefs. Okay, so it's confusing.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I know.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
You've got a couple of teams that have got the
Thanksgiving and Christmas double dip.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
See how that goes for them? Yeah, Now Christmas is
a Friday. Yeah, Christmas is a Friday. Better than it
being a Wednesday. A lot better, a lot better better,
So a lot better. Wait is it a Thursday or Friday?
What am I thinking of here? No, it's a Thursday.
I'm sorry, Johnny, it's a Thursday. Yeah, December twenty fifth
has to be a Thursday.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
The twenty first is a Sunday. Yes, twenty eighth is
a Sunday. So seven six five soda. Yeah, Thursday, Thursday, Thursday,
my Thursday. Okay, So Christmas I probably scared a lot
of people, like.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I already made plans.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You knew it better than I did, listener, So Christmas
is a Thursday, and you know, because it's not a
leap year, so it's a day later than it was
last year.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And Wednesday got it all right? Opening weekend?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
We told you last night you've been hearing about it
on this station and wherever you look at NFL information
that Brazil was not going to be the Texans. It
was gonna get the Chiefs and the Chargers in South Pallam.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
So good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But I think that and the Texans do not have
an international game like we can, that is correct. I
think this does one thing about your twenty twenty sixth schedule.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
This is like a ninety nine percent lock.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Take it to the bank that the Texans are going
somewhere next year. They're gonna look, if they look at
teams particular individual situations, they're gonna say, you, guys haven't
been anywhere since twenty nineteen. We were supposed to go
to London last year. Didn't happen for whatever reason I
don't even know. Oh, because we had the Hall of
Fame game, all this other stuff. We're supposed to play
the Biking Vikings. Yeah, now into the Jets this year.
(06:44):
It was going to be a Statuos Deca Mexico city
against who knows. It was going to be a home
game in all likelihood, but the stadium's not ready. No
international game. But the Texas we thought maybe they'd still
go on the road. Maybe you visit the Colts, the
Jags in Europe, or visit the Chargers in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Not happening good. So we know that.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So there's a guy in Jacksonville, and whenever you bring it,
begin a story like that, Yeah, there's a.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Guy in Jacksonville, right, because you know that Jacksonville goes
to the state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
So it's like saying, Florida man, hashtag Florida Man. Flordia
man has a lot of the schedule, allegedly. Allegedly. Now,
he does get a lot of stuff, right.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
He gets some stuff wrong though, right, but it appears
that he's gotten a hold of the Jags schedule and
he was all up in the Jags business all week long,
right because.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
The Jags on their app had all.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
The opponents listed but an alphabetical order without dates, and
everyone got all excited at first they thought it was
the schedule. Yeah, but then you realize, oh, it's alphabetical order.
They're just loading it up. And you know that's something
you can do because teams have to load up those platforms.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, you can't do it all at once.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
It's like setting a timer, like a complicated timer on
your phone. It's pretty easy. You just kind of slide
a little slider button and slide.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
You wake up at four fifteen. But that's it's a
little different. But yeah, he got some of this. There's
a Twitter account called at nerding on. I believe that's
what it. What it is at nerding on is on
the NFL. I can't remember if it's nerding. If you're
really into this, it's NFL nerd. It's it's NFL nerd.
(08:19):
It's at nerding on NFL. He has ninety one point
two percent of the schedule nailed. In fact, I take
that back, I just refreshed. He has one hundred percent
of the schedule filled in.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh, he's got the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
And he does a little Google sheets thing that is
cool as hell. So he's got so he's got a
color coded, he's got the whole thing. He's got color coded.
He's got red for Thursday, night blue for Sunday, night
purple for Monday, pink like a lighter a darker pink
for Saturday, and then a lighter pink for a two
(08:58):
B determined Saturday or Sunday. So he's he's got that.
Then he's got the different he's got green for Brazil,
a lighter green for Dublin London, the light blue Germany, Madrid,
et cetera. He's got every single game. Okay, so every
single game.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Obviously, is he right?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
We don't know, We don't know, I remember, but he's
pretty confident.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Was it a couple of years ago or three years
ago the entire Dolphin schedule was leaked and it was wrong?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah? Yeah, it was totally wrong, and.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
It looked official. And Sean Pendergass brought this up this morning.
He cited a graphic that had the Texans opening at
home against the Broncos. Yes, and I saw it looks
really official because they had a couple of correct games
and it looked like an official graphic. And I also,
I don't even want to say who's sent me this,
but it's somebody who should know better sent me a
graphic yesterday that had the Texans playing in Brazil yesterday.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yes, I'm like, hello, where have you been? McFly? Do
I know this person? You do know this?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And I was like, hello, welcome to Tuesday afternoon schedule, eve,
because we're not going to zill no, right, But it
looked so the graphic this person set me was so
official looking and it had some correct information on there.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
So it leads you to believe it must all be correct. Right,
So if only life were this simple, Yeah, if you're
correct about one thing, you're correct about everything. But it
just doesn't work that way anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Uh So that because do we know or it was
reported that the Broncos open against I saw this report,
So it's either it's a leak or it's confirmed, because
it's hard to keep track of what's both. The Broncos
open at home against the Titans.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
That is correct, okay, according to according to Nerding on
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
According to nerdr on.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I saw somewhere else too, and maybe they got it
from the Nerding guy.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Benjamin Albright does a good job in tracking all this.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Now he's a little ornery sort oh, but he covers
the Bronx. He knows this stuff pretty much inside out.
He was like the first one to respond to that.
I saw that tweet about Texans Broncos Week one, and
he basically was like, this is wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Okay, So like, okay, that was a home game, right,
Texans hosting the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Has to be a report as a report? All right?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Well, we'll see, but now we know what we think.
We have pretty good clarity that the Broncos are probably
hosting the Titans to open up.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
That is correct. That would mean they cannot play here.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
So it's all it's anybody's guests, all right, So you
tell me Nerd on the This is just such fun conversation,
all right. The guy, the man in Florida, who does
he have the Texans? I want to know this the opener?
Who does he have for the opener? And who does
he have for the closer? Because you and I made
a mock schedule and I want to see if he
was listening to us, because if he if we nailed
(11:36):
his prediction, then maybe he's just listening to us.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
The opener.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I don't think either one of us were gotten. Now
we I went with.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Brazil, right, Oh yeah, that's what we did.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
We both went with kind of knew it was not Brazil,
but I just throw people off the cent a little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Wait, if you're picking a bracket, which this is not,
but if it was or a mod draft, why would
you do it?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You know is incorrect?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Well, sometimes you have said Ina, you don't want people to.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Know, Oh, you don't want people to know that. You know,
Oh so you just knew that we weren't going to Brazil.
But yeah, I knew it down Jacksonville. Man have us
opening against.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
In LA against the La Rams. It has to be
the Rams. He can't be the Chargers. That's right.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It gave me the Chargers, is right, all right? So
that's opening week at the Rams. That was one neither
one of us would have come up with. No, we
never would. We never want to put that down.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
On the mix.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I would have thought divisional game or yes, you know,
some something in this time zone or east yep.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I just wouldn't think West. I guess it's possible. Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
The Texas have not been on the West coast to
open the season since the Chargers in twenty thirteen, so
that would be a first for a while.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
And Philip Rivers gave us a gift that night. He did.
He gave us a pick pick six six Brian Cushing.
Very nice.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I was hesitating there because some people still say shop
through a pick six in that game, but he did not.
He threw a pick almost six A and here's the ball.
That was that really a good favorable position.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Twenty thirteen Unfortunately did turn into Matt throwing a number
of picks.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
That he was just getting warmed up that night for
what was to come. Right, Sorry, Matt, that was awful,
But we did rally to win that football game.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
We did out on the West Coast.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So going back, this would be the first time that
we well it was gonna be regardless of when we play,
it's the first time that we will have played a
regular season game in SOFI.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Okay, And this is the one thing I also love.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
We have two games at SOFI, we have one game
in Indianapolis. We have eight road games, so eight minus
three is five. We only go outside five times, outside
outside five times in the twenty seventeen what are the.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Potential The potential weather hazards are Baltimore, Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
City, Kansas City, Jacksonville, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Jacksonville. No, I'm not going to call that a weather hazard.
It could be actually, you know it's possibly whoa.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
I know, you get to sit up in your beautiful
booth in Jacksonville. But twenty twenty one, I got just
a da louge came down on me. In twenty twenty one, Yeah,
Davis made that great throat of filled Torset got us
down there for a touchdown. I got hammered. That was
hamm and cold rain. Now, there have been times where
it's been decently cold. Two thousand and four, Jacksonville was
(14:21):
super cold. It was the day after Christmas and it
was super cold. Yeah, all right, so but I'll tell
you this, it can't be I'll tell you this though,
I would much rather have Jacksonville later in the year
than earlier in the year because it can get very salty.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, a little warlier into the warm, okay, little warm.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And we all know Nashville is definitely a weather hazard
because of what happened in twenty twenty two there.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Right, because that was the second to last game of
the year that was freezing and it was delayed by
an hour and it was awful, Right, So that was
what we went cold, Texans won.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Texas won. So I'm cold.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I'm fine with it. I don't care what the weather is.
We walk out of there. We went to Buffalo in
twenty one and it rained the entire game. We lost
forty to nothing. I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Well, we went to Jacksonville. We wanted twenty twenty one
in a downpour. Yeah, it was great. Same with Tennessee
that year. Downpour was great. So there's there.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Look, there's a potential if there's no roof, there's a
potential for weather anywhere you go.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
You know, you keep winning this division, you're gonna keep
playing Kansas City every year as long as they keep
winning their division.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Well, and if you keep winning the division, you're gonna
play one of three teams. Well, they're gonna play three teams, Baltimore, Buffalo,
Kansas City, outside, outside, outside. Now the new stadium in Buffalo,
will see how that gets impacted because they've got kind
of like a shelf. When does that open twenty seven?
I think because.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Titan's opening a couple of years. I don't think twenty six.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Think in Buffalo's and if we both win a division,
we would be up there that year.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So next year at Buffalo News Stadium Titans new Stadium,
I think twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I want twenty seven. I think that's right. Let mean
double check on that.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
But you know I saw it last year when we
were there, and I thought, you know, put some drywall
on it, throw some seats in there, you'll be good
to go for twenty six.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Come on, I think the Titans.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Twenty six for Buffalo, definitely twenty seven for Tennessee. Okay,
now I'm almost positive of that, all right, But.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Who does Jacksonville man, who allegedly has the entire schedule? Now,
who does he have the Texans closing with? So are
my fave my favor meaning the Colts?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
But here or there? Here? All right? Have we ever
finished with the Colts here? And we kighteen? I don't
think we have, thinking I'm thinking I don't think we
have either.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I'm thinking it's Titans schedule real fast, tightan schedule is scheduled.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
To be open in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Okay, so really, gosh, it looks so so if the Bills,
if the Bills went division, we went in division.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
We will go see that new stadium in twenty sixth.
And you know we're gonna see the Titans soon enough. Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
If it's true that the Texans closed with the Colts, yeah,
the first time you'll ever closed with the Colts here.
You've done it there obviously in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Was great. But here the clothes are uh.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
No, definitely have closed with the Titans here definitely have
closed with the Jaguars here, yes, have not done.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
It with the Colt of those never with the Colts.
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
But if that's true, Nerding on NFL says, we are
closing with the Colts at home in week eighteen.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And you and I have that on our mock schedule.
We both had us closing.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
We had closing with the Colts good for us.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So if he's missed a lot, we're right.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
We really could celebrate being right once like a you know,
broken clock twice a day. So that's pretty cool stuff
right there. We're all curious with the primetime games because
I predicted four. And by the way, at seven, Johnny
and I'll go on YouTube for the Houston Texans account
because we're on YouTube right now in Sports Radio six
tens page Live.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Hello, Hello, everybody.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Do you want to know what Nerding on NFL has
for us as far as primetime primetime games?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I do. Would you like to know? Because I predicted four?
You predicted too. I am so wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Here's the chronicle predicted according to Nerding on NFL, I
am so wrong.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
And according to Nerding on the NFL, you are so
right for four.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Okay, here's what. Here's what Nerding on the NFL has.
Uh And it's nice because they have my color codes
and now I now I visually can do it in
my head.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Week two Monday nighter. Bucks? Okay?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Here week two? So last year week too, we got
a Sunday nighter. It's the Bears. This year we get
a Monday nighter.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That's what Nerding on NFL says. So Nerding on NFL says,
Bucks Monday nights. Weird? Opening at home? That seems weird.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I'm not saying it's impossible, right, but opening NFC NFC, Yeah,
that seems kind of strange.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Have we ever done that most of the time? When
have we played NFC team in Week two or Week one?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Kay?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Who'd you open with? In twenty ten? It was Colts
and then went to Washington. I'm trying to think of that.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
We Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Week one Washington here, twenty fourteen, Week two Raiders.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Oh well, I was gonna say twenty eighteen, but that
was the Giants was week three?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And Week one twenty eighteen was Patriots. Oh, pat went
Patriots Titans?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Giants?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
We want Patriots?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
We went Patriots Titans the road than the Giants, if that.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That is true, if that Rams Bucks, yeah, duo to
open up the season.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Is the first time we've gone NFCNFC. I think it's
got to be. I think it's got to be. I
can't imagine another scenario the case. Okay, now this next one,
but you know what was seventeen games to get the
extra Nfcah, speaking NFC, there are some teams.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
In NFC we have to go to.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Okay, the next primetime game that Nerding on NFL has
is Week seven. Wait for this, okay, Monday night? Okay
at Seattle. Oh my, No, that's crap. They wouldn't do that.
They wouldn't do that to us. Oh man, they would
not do that to us. The first two primetimers are
(20:03):
Monday nighters, one and home against Tampa Bay and one
on the road Seattle Monday Night.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I want to know what this guy's track record is.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
His chart looks pretty official.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, yeah, but you could write anything on the charge
and balances out.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That's another thing. It's got to balance out.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
It doesn't have to balance out. At some point you
figure out.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Okay, you want to know our next primetime case that
I figured.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
One of these West Coast games, whether it be the Chargers,
the Rams, or the Seahawks, would be a primetime game,
because I don't want him to be a primetime game.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
So I figured none of them would be only because look,
here's another thing. And look, we talk about a lot
of things. We take a lot of different angles on
these shows, and one of the angles is work life
balance or.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Whatever whatever you want to call it. But I understand
one thing very clearly.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I actually want as many primetime games as possible because
that means you're good. And the peacher go through this
every year, and the really good teams survived every year.
The Chiefs survived every year. They thrive through it. The
Patriots when they were rolling thrive through it. The Steelers
they get near the max, if not the max, every
(21:15):
single year.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Now so do the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
And we know they don't do that great every year,
but they're coming off going into last year, three consecutive
twelve win seasons, and you know they get the full
compliment of primetime games.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yep. So good for them for having those good regular seasons.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
In the midst of primetime, your routine is all jarred
up and it's not about us.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Of course, it's about the players.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It's about what the players are experiencing, their bodies, their
recovery time, their ability to ramp up for the next outing,
all of that stuff. So that's why I bring this up.
When the Texans had all the noon starts in twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
How did they do pretty well? Pretty well? You know,
with a routine. They needed the routine every week every week.
Last year, what did Demiko riots do in the preseason?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
He had two preseason home games and he said, We're
gonna go noon noon because I want to get the
guys used to playing at noon. We're playing a lot
of new games now, obviously not all the games are new,
but his point was, that's how important is My point is,
that's how important is.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Routine is to your football team.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
You want to have that consistency in getting ready week
to week. So if they've got to go on the
West Coast to play a primetime game, so be it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
You're a good team. Hopefully you play well. And as
far as Seattle's fine, that's interesting. Think about this, Johnny Seattle.
The flight to San Francisco is like two fifteen ish, right,
twenty two fifteen that's a little longer than that. You
think it's wait for us, no, no, no, for Seattle,
Seattle yea yea yeah, yeah, yeah, it's that's more than two,
(22:39):
that's right, but not much more, that's correct. That's their
shortest flight ever. Yeah, that's that's nothing to them, all right.
So when they go to La Arizona, those are longer, obviously,
and then they go to East Coast gate East coast
teams back to back weeks. Sometimes they'll stay on the
East Coast. They travel a lot on a Friday, the Rams,
(23:00):
all those West Coast teams very often, I think most
of the time when they go east, when they have
to go three hour time zone difference, still travel on
a Friday, get acclimated, and then buzz back after the game.
That's a lot of travel. You want to talk where
and tear. Those teams go through way more than anybody,
you know. The Eagles and Giants take the train to
each other. Yeah, exactly, I mean that, I mean they
(23:23):
showed I can't remember.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
They saw graphic the other day about the number of
miles that each team was traveling. And Seattle's always gonna
travel the most, always gonna travels, always especially when they have.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
If they've got NFC East, AFC East, right, that is
a ton of stuff for them to deal with. And
like I said, I mean taking the train to an
NFL game. What is this, Joe Don Baker and the
natural whatever you got, man out, I.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Take a train. We can take a train. We get
that bullet train from here to Dallas.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
We play the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I'll take it all right, we got there's two more
primetime games that Nerding on NFL has scheduled for. I
don't know if he's right, but it's kind of fun
talk about it. If he's right, do you want to
hear those? You want to take a break and come
back to me to tease it.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
We'll tease those, tease it.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
There's two possible correct leaks possible.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
It's the best we got till seven pm. Fots possible,
correctly possible, you never know.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Also, a Texans opponent, they'll be going down the road
to face this team.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
They've never beaten this team on the road. They made
a huge splash today. We'll tell you about that as well.
Next here on Texans Radio. Texans schedule release video And
this is not one where you want to get the
information about the schedule from This is one of the
fun ones that all the teams do. It's this unofficial
competition among the teams to one up each other in
the schedule release video madness.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
We've had some good ones over the years. The tech
Bo Bowl one was awesome. One year we did a
football remember backyard football? Yeah, that was the one. Right.
The year we did Game of Thrones, three other teams did. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I saw that A couple of the video guys were
mad at me because I would not allow This is
when I ran the whole department. I would not allow
us to use the music. I said, I don't want
to get my ass sued. Okay, I do not. I
do not want to get to it. And guess what happened.
They all got sued. So yeah, I felt like we
(25:15):
dodged a bull. I said, it's not worth it. So
we had like sounds like Game of Thrones music, like
you know, just changed or two notes off whatever I
did just there by the way, a cappella was not
Game of Thrones like, So I apologize for that, all right,
you tell me. Jacksonville, Florida man who's allegedly got the
whole schedule and putting it out on Twitter, NFL nerd.
(25:38):
That's the account on x SO. He claims to have
the entire league schedule.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Now he's got it all laid out, some leaks, so
these are totally uncompect.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
He took leaks and turned it into a damn Niagara Falls.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Texan's fans are going nuts, read it all over social
media everywhere, trying to figure out if this could be true.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
But you said he had four primetime game.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Yes, we've already discussed two.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Week two, Okay, home Tampa Bay Monday night. Okay, Week
seven at Seattle Monday night.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I just can't believe that. But again, I guess it's possible, possible,
gotta be possible, gotta be possible.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
The next primetime game, yeah, occurs on a Thursday night
at home.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
The Buffalo Bills Week twelve, that's what he says. Buffalo
Bills Bills Thursday night here. Really Wow, We're gonna make
the Bills come here on a.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Thursdays are gonna have to travel Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I'm a Bills fan, I'm not happy with that, or
a Bills player not happy with that. Again, I don't
know about these leaks, but Okay, I figured the Texans,
we're gonna get a Monday, a Thursday, a Sunday, and
then throw in one more. Yeah, probably a Monday, not
another Thursday.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
I would think, uh, oh boy, yeah, there's one more.
There's one more. There's one more. Two weeks later, two
weeks after the bill. Weeks after the bill. So who
does he have us playing on the road Sunday night?
Oh football? Oh boy?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Baltimore, the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, their prime time huh?
One of how many primetime games?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
All right? So how many primetime games does NFL nerd
Okay have the Chiefs playing? I want to call this.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
This is fascinating. Look at the chief schedule. So he
started in Brazil national TV window. Yeah, he says, we two.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
They have Philly, but that's it's a regular game, the
regular game, Fox and CVS game.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
They do need some good matchups, don't get that one? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Then they have a Sunday Night at Giants.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Then they're home against Baltimore, which again will probably be
a three twenty five game. Then they get Monday night
at Jacksonville.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
What home Detroit?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Stop the press. Chiefs to Jacksonville on Monday Night. I'm
starting to doubt the credibility. Why would the league do this?
Oh you know why. ESPN kind of get screwed with
the Monday night schedule a little bit. They'll throw in
some man because they have to have Fox and CBS
getting great something. NBC, even though NBC doesn't pay as
much as Disney NBC, they've always taken good care of
(28:21):
them on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Night, marking over a span of six weeks.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, they'll play two Sunday night games in two Monday
night games.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Well, it's the chief.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
The two Sunday night games are at Giants home Detroit.
The Monday night games are at Jacksonville Home. Commanders.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Is there if Travis Kelsey breaks up with Taylor Swift
opt out clubs in the deal.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Okay, even after that, then you go down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Then they play Dallas and Thanksgiving, they play US on
Sunday night at home. Then they play Christmas Day against
the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Boy, they are loaded. They loaded with national windows. But
would be the case? Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
When I look at this, the fact that it's color coded,
you can kind of see where the NFL wants their
games if I were to tell you the NFC East.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
It is loaded. It is loading with National TV one.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Now that Washington's good again, you knew this would be
the case. Are the defending champs. The Giants are the
Giants even when they Dallas always gets Dallas.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, new York market, the Giants are gonna get their
fair share because you get.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Any kind of number in New York, that's a lot
of numbers. That's the biggest market in the country.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
So according according to this, yeah, take the Cowboys starting
in week nine, Monday night Arizona, Week ten, bye, Week eleven,
Monday Night at Las Vegas, Week twelve home Philly, nothing
or a Sunday game, yeah, then Kansas City on Thanksgiving,
(30:00):
after that a Thursday night at Detroit. Then after that
a Sunday night against the Vikings, after that home game
against the Chargers that's on Sunday, then Christmas against Washington.
They have a national TV window in one, two, three, four, five,
six games, And I could promise you if Dallas is
(30:21):
any good, that Dallas Philly game will be the three
twenty five game on that that particular day and Week twelve.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
But what if Dallas sucks like last year? Yeah, you
get stuck with all these games do but people still
like watching the Cowboys lose.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
That's now, that's true against.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
That's the brand, But that's it.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
But like the NFC East, how many at count forer
Dallas one two three four five six seven eight eight
National TV Windows Philly one two three, four, five six
seven seven for Philly, Washington keep Ready one two three four,
five six seven eight.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Washington has more than Philly.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, crazy, unbelievable, But I mean it's it's a bet
you're making. I mean, obviously three teams nfcas and your
focus is on those streets.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Is Washington more interesting than Philadelphia? Because Jayden Daniels Is
he more exciting than Jalen Hurts. I don't want to
disrespect Jalen Hurts, local guy and he wins, so I'll
go with Jailen Hurts. But Daniels is exciting. Now, what
if they have some sort of comeback to Earth sort
of situation here?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
I mean it has always a risk here. It's the NFL.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
There's always a chance that you have teams that you
didn't think we're gonna be good at all that turn
out to be good. It happens every year, or you
have teams that you thought were gonna be great and
they turn out to be terrible, like.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
The Jags, like the Cowboys when Da gets hurt. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, I mean not just because the deck getting hurt,
because he was playing last year and they were still
struggling mightily. Now they might have righted the ship at
some point or won enough games to be semi relevant
at the end of the season.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
So do you want to know, uh what Nerding on NFL?
Because who knows whether this is right or not? H
some things we are skeptical of. Would you like to
know when the bye week is?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
All? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Tell me when Nerding at whatever his name is Nerding
on NFL has the Texans bye week?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Am I going to be upset about this? Just tell
me this. I don't know about that. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I don't know because last year it was what week fourteen? Yeah,
I was a little upset about that. It was thirteen
straight game. So what are you gonna give me this
year for the bye? At least this guy from Jacksonville
Week six? That's so early, that's so early? Well, was
it in twenty twenty three? Demiko's first year. Was it
six or seven?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Or five? Uh? Ridiculous? Was six? It was six? I
think I think it was the same thing. Last year.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
We talked about how there was thirteen games in a row. Now,
there were a lot of other factors. We started camp
ten days early than everybody else.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Yeah, you know we had that.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
You had an extra preseason game, then thirteen games in
a row.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, add all that to the thirteen games in a row. Right,
that was tough.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Now you'll play five games before the bye, but then
play twelve consecutive after it.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
What it's so extreme?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Last year you had this, Now you have this allegedly reportedly.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
It's weird because just looking across there are only three
teams of the week eight bye. What there are only
three teams of the week nine by.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
When Joe Burrow wanted to take a break, the whole
league has a weekend off like Joe.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
No, no, no, no, no, no, let me take just such
a gen z answer. I know it. Just take a break.
We need a mental health take a break.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
No no, no, no, no, that's not the way this thing works.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I mean it's.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Built perfectly for several teams to have a week off
here and there, and then everybody goes. Now, Joe has
a point in this, Johnny, what if you made all
the buyes the middle four weeks.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Okay, see, I think that's what you should do.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
And then you just said, we're just gonna go No,
it's too much, stop me, stop me. It's work, all right.
So how many teams you have thirty two teams? You
have eight teams off? Let's just go even here. Eight
teams off a week for a four week period. That's
too many teams off per a week for each of
those weeks. Yeah, because now AB now, CBS and NBC
(34:26):
on Sunday, I'm sorry, let's go back the afternoon network. CBS,
Fox are gonna be pissed because Sunday.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Night they're gonna get like Titans Jags at three twenty five.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, exactly. And the Sunday night needs to eat, and
Thursday night needs to eat. Yeah, and Monday needs something.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Listen, there are a lot of days in trips and
visits that have to be fed. Just looking at the
top of how he said the spreadsheet, Thursday night, Sunday Night,
Monday night, Saturday.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
At the end of the year, you've got Saturday or Sunday.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You got those Saturday games on top of a Brazil trip,
an Ireland trip, London trips, Berlin trip trip.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Minnesota is going Ireland London, right, I mean, now you're
away from your family for a long time. Unless they
do the old Thursday ruski. They'll probably do that. They'll
fly out Thursday night for Ireland for Ireland. Altho it's
from Minnesota. Yeah, they you can do it for Ireland
Ireland play a Sunday.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
They travel to London, stay in London for the week playing,
come Sunday, take a buy. And that's what I was
saying we should do.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Now it's obviously not as long a trip, not along
a flight. Yeah, that's what I was saying. Which is
you gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
If for playing the Rams, but you can open The
Colts have the same deal. They got to play the
Chargers and the Rams on the West Coast. However, no
are they playing the Falcons in Europe. They're playing the
Falcons in Germany, in Germany in Berlin. Yeah. Yeah, the
Colts mirror us. Whatever we do, the Colts do.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
So we play at Rams at Chargers, they play at
Rams at Chargers I'm telling.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
You, we follow the league closer than anybody, or as
close as anybody, yep. And the International Games to keep
reminding myself where they are. I was talking to somebody yesterday.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
It's gonna grow mark, it's gonna get even, it's gonna
get eight.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
It's already how many games are over there now seven
It's gonna be impossible to keep track ruse average fan,
even the well educated above average fan. I was talking
to somebody yesterday. They said, oh, they're going back to Munich.
I said, actually, they're going to Berlin, which is very different.
It's like saying we're going to Philadelphia. No, you're not,
You're going to Atlanta. It's it's like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
I mean that's like a distance necessarily, but in mentality,
and it's a different German city.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah. So the Kansasity Chiefs is tweeted out this is funny.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
It says, can you walk across the Panama Canal asking
for a friend? And it has the map of from
Arrowhead all the way down to the stadium in Brazil
Arena Corinthians if you walk four and twenty three miles.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
If you were to walk in it would takes sixty
two days.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
If you start now, you're in good shape to get
the opener.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Get there for the opener now.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I'm sure there's nothing in your way. Nothing, and get
to South America.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
I mean maybe the run. Can you go across the
Panama Canal? So yeah, James Palmer said this. He said
the NFL will have the game in Brazil between the
Chiefs Chargers live on YouTube. Bring the NFL to a
worldwide audience for free on YouTube and YouTube TV.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Say I love YouTube TV. I know some people that don't.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
It marks YouTube's first time as a live NFL broadcaster.
And I saw earlier where I think the CBS crew
will be doing that game.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
So take the other night. I'll give it again in
case you missed it. Folks.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
They're doing this because number one, they don't need to
charge extra for this YouTube correct. They will make plenty
of money on the commercials. They'll have a national window.
They want as many people as possible to tune into
YouTube and more season meaning older viewers to put YouTube
on their living room flat screen. And a lot of
(37:58):
people have never done that. Now I've done it. I've
got a young kid, though I don't know if I
would have done it unless.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
I had occasion to do it because of him.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
We watched the We watched a movie on YouTube by
my flat screen recently, Pistol Pete. I couldn't find it
anywhere else. There's this Pistol Pete movie. H Yeah, it's
just about Crystal Pete in the eighth grade. My kid
plays basketball and it's a pistol. It's yeah, and it's
very it's kind of after school specialist, but it's really
good for that. And we watched it on YouTube by
my flat screen. So yeah, we've done it, and a
(38:28):
lot of people have done. A lot of people listening
right now saying, really, that's a big deal. It is
a big deal. They want the older viewer to pop
onto YouTube in addition to everything else they're going to
get out of this game, which is worldwide instant distribution.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
That's why they love Netflix too.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
When they eventually go to an international schedule, they're going
to create this bidding more between YouTube and Netflix because
those are the two that can give you automatic international
distribution without any geo fencing problems or anything at all.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Has the most subscribers.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
YouTube is the biggest change in the world outside of
Google itself, and they're owned by Google.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
I have an idea for Netflix.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
What I have an idea and it would tie perfectly,
you know how on on HBO Max, like when there was.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
A big boxing match.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Yeah, and then they would do that show twenty four
to seven.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Yeah, they would kind of go behind.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
The seeds as they were building up to the game
and then building up to the boxing match. They should
do that for Netflix. Netflix should do like a Chargers,
a Chief Chargers, like building up to that game, have
somebody watching, people would watch. It would be like, you know,
it'd be like Hard Knocks. You know, I guarantee you
people would watch it.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
That's the come on Netflix if you're doing all kinds
of other documentaries, and.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Look, before people think that kills your season. The teams
that played there last year did pretty well. Green Bay
made the playoffs and the Eagles won the Super Bowl.
So you have that, you have that to look forward to.
I did not get to pay off the other t's,
which was textans opponent making a big splash today. So
let's get to that next and we'll set you up
with a schedule release. It's coming up in about sixteen
(39:58):
minutes less than sixteen minutes, the schedule will be out
and the Texans ticket office is ready for business. Houston,
Texans dot com. Check it out. It's Texans Radio. Oh yeah,
great to have you with us. All right, better get
to this now. Baltimore, the Texans will be there this
year road game with the Ravens. Have never beaten Baltimore
(40:19):
in Baltimore. They had one year left out of the
Derek Henry contract, but decided to extend the deal. Why
why do they extend the deal because we all think,
all right, Maybe we don't all think this. I think,
and I thought this about Brady too. Maybe he's the
Brady of running backs. I always felt, Brady, you know,
another year or two, it's gotta be over. And I
(40:39):
was probably saying that in twenty seventeen. So maybe I'm
way off on Henry sign him now, I guess. But really,
he's a running back. You have another year with him,
for sure, I know it's a contract year. He'd probably
want to stay. Maybe he wouldn't, and then you get
into a bidding war. I'm talking myself into resigning him
right now now or signing that extension.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
What are your thoughts on it?
Speaker 3 (41:03):
I just think he's different than anybody else's play that position.
Like he has shown no signs of slowing down at all,
and we've seen him work like he.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
He Texas able to totally shut him down in twenty twenty
three in two.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Games and then because he ran behind a got off
offensive line.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
But he still has as his quarterback. What did he
have that year? A lot? Still had a lot of year.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
He was over a thousand yards, but he you know,
the Texas run defense was good that year. Wasn't the
best thing ever, But I felt like twenty three's run
defense was maybe a little better than twenty four's, especially
when we played them.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
They couldn't do anything against us.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
So in twenty twenty three, Henry had like a eleven
one hundred and sixty seven yards right, one point two per.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Care and he had like twenty against US total something
like that.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
He saw the.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Worst days the way you spending a certain number of
carries and how few are ards he had right in the.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
History of the league.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
I think it was the worst day considering the about
of carry as they gave him because they kept thinking, oh,
this one's gonna pop. But in twenty two last year,
he said, you know what, I'm going to run for
over nineteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
Yards five point naper carry. Okay, he's playing next to
Lamar Jackson. I mean it's a you know, he not
only like to that to that end. He's playing, he's
playing behind a good offensive line. He's playing with Lamar
Jackson that always takes a defender.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
Out of the box whenever you're playing him.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
So he's not running against eight nine man boxes safeties
that are within eight yards of the line of scrimmage
because they didn't fear the passing game or they don't
fear the quarterback like they fear.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
We all fear Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
Now it makes Henry that much more difficult to stop.
And I'll be honest, nineteen hundred yards rushing last year.
Now he's in the second year of that system.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
It could be even more dangerous.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Okay, with another thousand, let's just call it a thousand
this year. Okay, he gets to he gets close to tenth,
he gets to eleventh on.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
The all time rushing list.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
Really, yeah, let's say he goes for three thousand more yards.
That'll put him in the top five. He'll pass Adrian Peterson.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
It's about right, and here's the thing. The first couple
of years of his career, he really didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
Yeah, it was it really was not. It was really
not much.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Because DeMarco Murray he was doing the exoty whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
Tomarco Murray, and then he just couldn't kind of find
his footing. He had that seventy five yard run against
US in seventeen, but it was like, eh, that really
wasn't much there. And then on Thursday night against Jacksonville
he had that ninety nine yard run against Jacksonville and
it was like that set everything off.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Broke the seal.
Speaker 4 (43:39):
That was it, all of a sudden.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
From that point forward, you're dealing with this absolute monster.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
I'm with you, he is different than any everybody else's.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
I just feel like worth that much. He's getting up
there now, so is it worth it? But I guess
you know, when you look at this all time running
back list and you look at the names between him
and where he has to go to get to the
top five, and you're looking at Curtis Martin and Ladenium, Tomlinson,
him Back and Dickerson and all these guys, he's one
of those guys.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
You know, he's different than there's no doubt he's I've
never feared a running back, and I'll say that fear
of respect, like the biblical fear. I've never feared a
running back the way I do Derrick Henry.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Yeah, whenever he goes, whenever he gets the ball, I
hold and look, we're we have some serious PTSD from
two hundred yard games that he had like four in
a row against us. And it wasn't our best team though,
I'll get it twisted, but we were not very good.
Yet when he got the football, it's like, oh damn,
I could just I remember seeing him break through the
line in twenty twenty and at ninety four yard run,
(44:39):
and it was like we had one guy step out
of his gap. Not surprising him was that cutting inn,
but he stepped out of his gap and he's gone,
you're not running him down. I thought we had fast guys.
Fast guys were chasing after him and not catching him.
And he just wasn't the identity of that team for
so long. And then he goes to another team where
they've got a similar identity, but they do.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
Everything that much better.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Plus his quarterback is Lamar Jackson, who could very easily
be a three time MVP right now, he's got two,
could have very easily gotten a third last year.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
But that said, I think I don't think it's a
bad move at all.
Speaker 3 (45:17):
I mean, you feel like that's a pretty good bet
because Henry has stayed relatively healthy for the most part,
and that element of he and Lamar together, man.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
It scares me to death.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
It absolutely scares me to death with those two back
there and the fact that we have to go play.
You said it, we have now won a Baltimore. We
have not won at Seattle.
Speaker 1 (45:39):
And haven't beaten Lamar Jackson, haven't beaten Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
So you win, you beat the Ravens, you will have
done both, beat Lamar Jackson and knocked him off up
in Baltimore. And that to me is kind of a
I don't know, statement game, but just kind of a
gauge It's a temperature gauge game.
Speaker 4 (45:57):
Where are you? How good are you?
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Because I think Baltimore is going to be good again.
So when does NFL nerds say we're going to Baltimore.
Speaker 4 (46:05):
Week five, Week five, last game before the bye.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
According to Nerding on NFL, he's got us in an
early buy.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
We'll see and you know what we're gonna know in
six minutes, Johnny, in less than six minutes.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
Six minutes. Dougie Fresh were on.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
All right, So few a few notes here, schedule videos,
the fun ones coming out at seven o'clock, texting, social
media platforms.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
You gotta check them out.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
I can't mention huge Houston based or Houston originated celebrity
that we've never done anything with, and that to my knowledge,
I still haven't figured this out yet. Really, it's huge.
It's gonna be good. Now I've had all these wrong guesses.
People are texting me and stuff.
Speaker 3 (46:45):
I had one in my mind and then I realized,
oh man, George Foreman passed away this past spring.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Well I love George Forman.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
Yeah, so that was the first one that came to
my butt. Then I was like, wait a second with
Ais So he did some stuff with us back for
the very first Playoff game that I was a part
twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
Yeah, he did the video, yeah, which is great. It
was really cool.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
Cool, No, Davis, all right, so those videos come out,
Johnny and I will be on YouTube on the Texans
