Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scoring defense last night and the Astros one team did
not in the Texans.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Well, no, that's that's that.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
That's that's really that that that a defensive stop was
made in one and a defensive stop was not made
in the other.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
So thank you, Heyzus Sanchez for doing that.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
By freaking Mayfield. I guess he's good now. I guess
we got to give him props.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Yeah. Do you remember remember and I was reading earlier
that a buddy of mine on on Live was a
former player, said, remember the time when Odell Beckham's dad
tried to convince you that Baker Mayfield couldn't play Baker Mayfield, Dude,
he's thrown you. Look at the numbers of it the
last two years. Nobody's been better.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
My point on that is, like, if you're on the fence,
it's time to go off defense. I'll just admit Baker
Mayfield to good corn.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yes, and also and a hell of a hell of
a leader. And the truth is he's a winner, dude.
The guy wins and he's competitive as an s ob
and just keep coming back at you. And then when
I when he's fighting as a as a like a
walk on, like I said, he's at his best, dude,
when he got a little sideways, when all the commercials
and got there's the star thing kicked in. When he's
acting like a walk on trying to make a team,
(01:08):
the guy's lights out and he you just knew that
he was gonna. He's just so frigging competitive. And I
don't think I actually think he craves the moment. I
don't think he shies. I think he runs to it.
And yeah, I'm with you, Gordy. You gotta admit that
he well y out played our guy.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Can I give you the two stats that are crushing
in hindsight, because if I had heard these yesterday, I
would have been money all in on the Texans. Yep,
the Bucks had never went in won in Houston before
last night. They were zero to five and Baker Mayfield
was one in seven in his career on Monday Night football.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
He's now two and seven. Had I known those two
stats yesterday, that would have been hands double down, no doubt,
no doubt.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I expected the text shame. Yes, And that's the problem, Gordy.
We keep saying should have and they're they're giving you,
They're getting you close, but.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Not quite closing. It out see.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And that's the problem, Gordy is that I mentioned it
earlier with Sean, that it's the age although the score
doesn't tell the tale because they physically got manhandled last
night both sides of the line of scrimmage. And CJ
continues to make the same mistakes Nick, because I mean,
Nick Hayley, it's two games.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I get that. But at the same time, it looks
like this, ain't it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I mean, when I look at the stat line, guys
thirteen of twenty four for two oh seven average eight
point six yards, one touchdown, no picks like that, that
just does not look like that's a CJ strout stout
line thirteen of twenty four for two oh seven.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
And missed a lot of throws that he's used to making.
There is there something, there's something that's a little rushed
from him, whether it's rushed, whether it's a little frantic
in the pocket, Gordy on clean wand's you know what
I think? So you know he sometimes we've all been
it doesn't matter what sport, what we're doing, that you're
seeing things that really aren't there. And I think the
(03:01):
collateral damage from an offensive line because he does not
look as comfortable as he did as a rookie.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
He just doesn't. The performance is showing it.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
There was only one game last year where CJ had
less passing attempts, and that was in the loss to
Green Bay. And again we know how rough and aggressive
green Bay's defense was, and and uh, you know, I'm
trying to remember if that was even was that a
cold game? But either way, like that, just that just
seems really like CJ, only with twenty four passing attempts. Man,
(03:31):
you must have been running the crap out of the ball.
You must have been running it down their throat.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Actually, we averaged four yards of carry rush for eighty
four yards as a team, like and.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
The biggest run came on one on the on the
shut Shub touchdown, which was the best blocking up front
they've had in weeks.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And I get everybody saying that Bobby slowly to Nick Kyley, like,
what's the difference here?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Looks the same to me.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Longest longest runt of difference is simply the name right now, Yeah,
not in the play calling. The longest run of your
night was twenty five yards and early on too, As
I mentioned, the defense did have their struggles where it
seemed like every single time you looked at Tampa Bay
as they'd get into a couple of fourth downs. There
were four to four in the first in the first
half on third downs, so they were able to continue
(04:18):
to drive. But it was second and five, second and four,
the longest would be like second and six, and you're
just like, they're giving themselves those opportunities, and you're finding
yourself continuously.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Allowed to go forward on fourth and short and dingo.
They were. They imposed their will running the football.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Last night, wood he Marx had one catch off for
thirty seven yards. I don't know, maybe get that guy
another pass like this. We talked about it coming in.
I was like, I think you should, you know, incorporate
the screen game. If your offensive line you don't believe
in it, let's let's try to get so and what
he marks New Green College and Misissippi State and then
at USC he was one of the best pass catching
backs out of the backfield.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Get that dude the ball. One catch thirty seven yards.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Let's not take the go top of Steve what he
three of those thirteen were screens because one went to
him for thirty seven And then you had a couple
in Chubb first one he had goes for about what.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
A kid. I don't want Nick Chubbs.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Even Nick Chubb on the touchdown looked like he was
running in quicksand is like they got nobody around.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
He looked, I want, I want, I want Woody marks
in space though, I mean, you gotta there's certain guys
that got to touch upon space and he's an explosive,
dynamic player in space. Got to get in the ball
and there's easy ways to do it in the screen game.
There really is.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But it's also too I mean, as I mentioned it
with Sean earlier, I mean you heard verbal booze like
you heard them loud last night for that offense where
people I think are a lot like us, Like, what
the hell did you make a change for if it's
just gonna look the exact same.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
It's again, I don't know. Do you think it was
game playing? Seawn?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Are they going into these games going, look, our defense
is elite, we don't have to do much on offense.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I mean I would think that. I don't think they're
selling their offense. We don't have to do much. But yes,
there is no doubt I've said it We'll say it again.
Look around the league, defensive coaches want to win close games.
Head coach, I mean, of course you want to win
forty to ten, but their mo is to keep it close.
Trust your defense, don't get us hurt on offense, make
(06:15):
enough plays to keep it close. Our defense will win
at the fourth quarter. Didn't happen last night? Wow?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
How do they look so good in the first two
drives though? I mean, I guess that's your scripted the.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
They're great, the all important feel your way through and
make adjustments. You see what bulls did on the pressure
on the quarterback as it went on, started pressure, they
couldn't block them, They couldn't account from all and the
ball was coming out. And even when you've got a chance,
you know, like the sack by the linebacker near the
end of the game, hesitate look like he was going
to run. The coverage comes in unblocked. And then when
you're asking a fullback or a gonga wallee to go
(06:47):
and pick somebody up, he boat races you and pushes
you back into the quarterback, which forces that. So the
things that they start to add up. So, yes, defensive
minded coaches, while you'd love a forty point game. Have
always got in their culture. Will play great defense, try
to run the football and be smart with it, and
if it's close, we'll winning the end. The problem is
they've been inside the red zone two times now or
in two games with the chance to put the game away,
(07:08):
depending on the court, and they haven't been able to
do it, which is we're getting close but not close enough.
And to me, teams that don't play well and win
close games are better teams that play well and don't
win close games. Does that make sense? And that's where
they are. You can keep ready for one more.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Do you want to do it?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It's up to you. Jordan goes down. Zach Cole carries
the team.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
By the way. I believe one today he will be
on the Matt Thomas, Yes, I heard that rumor. I
saw that freaking Cole. What do you think his name
is on his burst of it?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Zach zacharias Zachary Zachary probably Zachary Cole.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Boy, he's raking man.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
He's not Amish that I know of, so he's not
gonna be named Zachariah.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
He might be biblical, I mean, could be, would believe Zachariah.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Cole called him Zach King Cole last night. Nice.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Nice, I like that, Zach king Cole and inspect respect.
You know who that is, right, Nat King Cole? Yeah, yeah,
of course I watched. I watched the show. Yeah, Merry Christmas.
You're trifling, Gordy. They win in the division?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh man, why you gotta put that evil on the
because I'm really heard about Bobby Redford. Bob Redford win
one of these next two, so raise the morale.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I think they win one of these next two. Blue
Ball going to night. I think this is the one
to get. Look, you'd be great if Hobby or wants
to throw no hitter tomorrow night. I don't know if
you will win one of these next two. And then
when two out of three against Seattle, I think that
puts you in a great spot. If you can't go
on the road guys and win a series with the
A's in a series with the Angels, you don't deserve
(08:41):
to win.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Amen. So that's that's where I'm putting it.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Was it did I see Kurtz hit a home run
about five hundred feet last night and the dead center
field was out last night.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And so he'll probably hit win five oh five last night.
Do we have no clue?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I just thought it was because he's really good against
the Astros. It was they over the was like we're
the center field screen over bubbs, like he hit it
and he sat there and watch it.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Like, oh yeah, the Sacramento Yeah, they swept the Reds. Yeah,
he hit a home run last night. They went like
eight hundred feet. They've won in a row. Wakland getting
them at the wrong time, Gordy.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
If you can't go on road and beat those those
two teams, then it's it's not a good thing.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Here's the thing though, too, that I thought about this morning.
You sweep the Rangers, Let's just throw it out there.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
They're not gonna sweep. Don't put that there.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I'm not, but I'm saying though, if you do that,
you've got nine games left in your five games in
front of them, so you would feel really good about
being able to clinch up at least one of those
log card spots.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, we're watching what
Boston and New York do as well. But you know,
it's it just sucks you put yourself in the spot
like and it's really that the Mariners just got on
this stupid heater. If they weren't on this, if they
were playing like they've been playing the last month, you'd
still have like a two game lead.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It wouldn't it wouldn't matter.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Well, the good news is the Mariners in Kansas City
taken on the Royals who have kind of scuffled little bit,
but still, uh, they don't play well away from t
Mobile Parks. So I mean, is there a chance for
you to be able to take up some time here and.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
You don't need a fifteen game win streak by the
by the Mariners now you don't need well, I.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Mean they close with the Dodgers. What's the situation with
the Dodgers and their division injury?
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Supposedly the Dodgers are also meeting like football meetings, watching
tape to try and get themselves out of their hitting lows.
So they're okay, they're reaching and scrambling for a lot
of two.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Up on the padres.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
We need the padres that kind of like catch them
so that they are playing for something in that final series.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I agree, I mean, and you don't have I mean,
let's see, I mean it's pretty much just them in
the padres. Because I thought somebody said that the Giants
were gaining on them, but the Giants are nine games back,
so that's that's done. But no, I mean that that's
what you hope for in this case, because you're not
gonna get it from the Rockies. I mean, that's that's
gonna be three games easy and the bucket for the
(10:53):
Mariners right there. So I mean, you're one hundred percent right.
And I said it yesterday, Gordy. Four and two nothing
less like you. You cannot get through this homestand without
a winning homestand if you're serious about winning this division.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, that's that's why I said, you know, win one
of the next two and then win two out of
three against Seattle.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I just that's yeah, four and two is that's not
crazy to ask.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's what you called for Dan foreign too, And if
you said if they're not foreign, to pack it up
and go home, you're done.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I mean it wasn't as strong as when I said
if you get swept in Seattle earlier this year, but
it's dangerously close.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You're rerely losing the head to head to Seattle hurts
because you lose, they win it. You know, they can
get that separation much more.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, and then you want you want everything in in
your favor, that's for sure. Hey, we were talking about
Zach Cole. You think after last night he might have
had a Crawford bok.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Uh, he may have. Maybe that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
As soon as he got to Houston he got off
the plane, I said, Zach, what's you try this broup
right here in Houston, Texas Carbock Brewing.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
It's called the Crawford rock Man. This here is still good.
I'm gonna hit another home run. The number color, the
taste of this, this is pretty damn god. Feeling like
I might get on a heater here HiT's how about
an RBI single? Some dingers add the runs of the board.
Maybe that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But yeah, I saw a lot of folks out there
at uh at Dyke In last night enjoying an ice
cool Crawford back from carback brewing, and of course goes
perfect with Astros baseball. If you're loading up the fridge
getting ready to watch some games this weekend, or if
you head out to the ballpark the next handful of
nights on this final regular season home stand, might be
your last regular season chance to enjoy a Crawford back
(12:25):
from carback over there at Dyke and hopefully you guys
get out there and I'll see you out there. And
Crawford bok tell you what if you see me out there,
Crawford bock on me.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Ah, look at Gordia here. I like it. Now, I
gotta go in a disguise. Well, I mean, I think I.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Think you just say while while supplies last, you know,
all right, guys two or three first person as you go,
there you go.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
That's that, you know, starts small, then build from there
