00:00Clint, I know for you, you grew very frustrated on some of the issues that are still issues
00:09that the Texans are dealing with, and they showed up big time in the game on Saturday.
00:13Yeah, Ronnie, and this all goes back, by the way, it's married to kind of what D'Amico
00:18Ryan's has allowed all year long, by the way. I mean, this is, it blows my mind that a lot of
00:24what we're talking about, and we're going to talk about, not all of it, but a lot of it,
00:28is stuff that we saw as early as the Minnesota Vikings game in the regular season, which,
00:34what was that, week four, week five, something like that, maybe even earlier?
00:36Week three, I think, yeah.
00:37Week three? I mean, like, there's, to then see the same exact thing in the playoffs,
00:43I don't even care if the other option is something that it seems, it's less appealing,
00:48it may not work, makes less sense. Give me something other than the same old, same old
00:52that we saw not work all year long. I'll start with this. I'm going to clean it up a little
00:56bit because I actually got the F word in this one, but how in the hell, thank you,
01:00how in the hell are we still seeing a full slide protection towards Laramie Tunsell
01:10away from Dalton Schultz in critical moments? We saw it, everybody saw it, Dalton Schultz trying
01:15to block Carl Loftus in critical moments down the stretch, right? We talked about the penalties a
01:21little earlier, you want to talk about something that's just as damning as a penalty that gets a
01:25first down instead of a punt with Pat Mahomes, right? Again, trying to block defensive ends
01:32with Dalton Schultz. And I'm talking about the scheme of it, we'll get into Dalton later on,
01:36just the scheme of it, Ron, is for that to rear its head again after the Minnesota Vikings game
01:48is criminal in itself, for it to rear its head in the most critical moment
01:56of the divisional round against Kansas City Chiefs when you've played your ass off during
02:00this game and you've got a shot, maybe a long shot, but you've got a shot to get back in the
02:05game and you've got Dalton Schultz blocking Carl Loftus, how is that in the playbook?
02:12How is that allowed to happen?
02:14That's some of the blitz stuff where they had so many guys walked up there and-
02:18Absolutely, absolutely. And I need Big Smitty, I need some of my offensive line guys that are
02:24out there, I need y'all to help me out. That 4th and 10, that was-
02:27I need, bro, it was all three of those plays in a row, Ron. They're all three. I need y'all
02:31to help me out. Because the- What was the Meco thing?
02:34The full slide, oh, you're talking about on defense.
02:36I was talking about the 4th and 10, you waited so late to go for it,
02:41we ran down time and you saw it, it was Carl Loftus versus him, no help, and they didn't have
02:47a chance. The full slide, literally, I don't care if it's
02:51Tunstall on the other side, but you typically slide towards the person you're trying to protect,
02:56which would be Blake Fisher in this situation, right? But the way that they're doing it,
03:01I need, again, I need some of my O-line pass pro masters out there to go look at this.
03:08It appears to me in every one of those situations, if I were the quarterback,
03:14I would have gotten the slide direction correct. If you just look at the defense, right? And it's
03:22as simple as this for the radio listeners out there. I know this is deep for radio,
03:25but if I've got trips to my left and my running back, if I got four receivers to my left,
03:32it's damn near impossible for them to blitz from that side of the field because somebody's
03:36got to have them in man. Unless they blow a coverage and they're playing super risky football,
03:45they cannot blitz those guys. So just by the simple rule of football 101,
03:52I'm sliding the other direction, and if they do blow the coverage, I've got answers because my
03:57receivers are right in my face. I have no idea what Bobby Slowick and CJ Stroud and the offensive line
04:03were doing in those moments. Have no idea. How every slide protection in this offense, Ron,
04:10every slide protection in this offense should be guard in. Like a full slide protection,
04:15again, for everybody out there, listen, you got five offensive linemen. If we're going to slide
04:19left, you take Blake Fisher and every offensive lineman and they slide hard left towards Laramie
04:23Tunsell, the tight end of the running back has the defensive end off the edge. That should have
04:28been thrown in the garbage months ago. And you leave the tackle on the defensive end and you
04:32slide from guard that direction. That's it. The full slide should not be in this offense because
04:39you don't have Daria Guboale can't do it. Cade Stover couldn't do it. Dalton Schultz damn sure
04:46can't do it. And the guy that I would trust the most to do it is Joe Mixon. And for some reason,
04:50you got his ass on the sideline in two minute and third down situation.
04:56You know, I hate to be so simplistic with this because we've been watching this all year.
05:04Clint, I understand where you're coming from and you got to do something. Is there any kind
05:11of protection that would help these dudes? They just, I mean, you got Shaq, you got Shaq Mason
05:16out there just get, I mean, it feels like you just, I mean, it's just not like you guys getting
05:21their ass. Like the first, the first, third and eighth Clint. I mean, like we can talk about all
05:25the stuff we're looking at the first, third and eighth, third and eighth. Chris Jones is one-on-one
05:30with Blake Fisher with no health. That, that, that, that, no, if, if, if alignments is getting
05:35his ass whooped like that or like Shaq did, I mean, that's part of it. When you come to this
05:38game and you expect Bobby, like, like we're looking at that, that's on Bobby and CJ cause CJ
05:43had a Guboale should have switched him sides to help on the other side. That's something that you
05:48and I can, can talk about. Like, Hey man, you even said it last week when we were talking about
05:51it. Right. You pushed back. Hell and Andy leaves his tackles on an Island sometimes versus the
05:55best. Like I get mad at Bobby Ford, but I don't, I don't just go, what the hell? Right. This is all
06:00like, what in the hell are we doing? Cause yeah, you asked me what's, what's the answer. I'll tell
06:04you what, what the answer is. Slide Dalton Schultz in the backfield to the right of the quarterback.
06:08Get Joe mixing to the left of the quarterback, get Daria Guboale out of the way. Right.
06:13Block big on big upfront. If they walk up the linebackers or the safeties in the a gap,
06:18move Dalton Schultz and Joe mixing up in the a gap to where they can pick them up before they
06:21get ahead of steam. That's it. And at that point in time, if, if, if Reed and the linebacker bail
06:26out, then Dalton Schultz and Joe mixing scan for any other problems, anybody they can help.
06:32And then they get out. Bronco protection is what we used to call it. It should, it should be
06:36like this year with the Texans by about mid year, that should have been their two minute offense.
06:41Nothing but Bronco protection, seven man protect. And if you want to play zone, we'll get our,
06:47we'll get two great check down guys out in the flats and you're in trouble,
06:50right? That crap we saw yesterday late in the game. Shouldn't even been in a playbook.
