00:00Which perfectly pivots us to another team. You and I were talking about this last night,

00:09Tom, what to make of the Texans at this point. I know that there's been a number of conversations

00:13around some of the play calling and just some of the positions that this team has been put

00:18in and the lack of execution in those crucial moments. You got them taking on a Jaguars

00:22team that's just kind of like kind of snuck in the mix sometimes in terms of like having

00:26decent defensive performances or keeping people off their access, people being pathos

00:30really. The Texans five and a half on the spread, 43 and a half on the total. How do

00:35we credit the Texans have a strong performance in a matchup such as this? I mean, like this,

00:40this has to be a Ravens type of performance from the Texans where it's like, hey, we just

00:45need to bounce back. Bad loss to the Titans. Now, granted, there are some metrics out there

00:50that would point to the Titans having a solid defense, especially in some certain areas,

01:22to finish. We're getting to the point in the season where these teams can't fool around

01:25anymore. Like enough with trying to figure out offense, like you should have it figured

01:28out by this point. And that means Joe mixing, seeing the ball 20 plus times on the ground,

01:32going for a hundred plus yards and scoring. And the Texans come away with the win. That's

01:35what it has to be for them.

01:38I'd say a hundred percent in agreement, especially because one other thing you and I agreed on

01:42is us having so much hope in the Texan season. We'll touch on it again, coming up on the

01:46break here, but we were both on top of them being able to potentially get further in the

01:51post season this year and everything was lining up. And then all of a sudden the play,

01:56the consistency, it just started to digress. And what the pivotal point was in that who

02:00really knows besides some of the injuries, but.
