00:00C.J. Stroud, what was his grade?

00:03What was his grade for the night?

00:0523 of 49, Clint, 229 yards, one touchdown,

00:10one brutal pick that I just stepped all over

00:13because that's what was going to be played prior to coming back from break

00:17just to get you in the mindset of what we were going to talk about.

00:20QB rating of 59, two rushes for 25 yards.

00:24You spoke of the run game, by the way,

00:25those 25 yards lead the team last night.

00:30Your grade for C.J. Stroud, Clint.

00:33Yeah, look, it's an F.

00:35Oh, really?

00:37I mean, when it boils down to it is the –

00:41we were told that C.J. Stroud wanted

00:45and was going to receive more control at the line of scrimmage,

00:48which was obviously, in a perfect world, going to help the pass protection,

00:52help identifying who's going to go where,

00:55and help with dealing with pressures.

00:56So, maybe not all of it.

01:01Based on what we've been told, lies at the feet of the quarterback.

01:06You know, the decision to retreat and to a point where you damn near got a safety,

01:13the refs had to bail you out.

01:15That can't happen.

01:16There was a point in the game where literally in one drive,

01:20I think it was a 12-point – no, I'm sorry.

01:22It was a two-possession game with 12-plus minutes left in the game,

01:27in the fourth quarter.

01:28And he drops back and throws those four straight go routes.

01:32Oh, yeah.

01:33One of which was on a down that didn't count,

01:35which probably should have been hit that he missed.

01:37But he drops back.

01:38He throws the back shoulder to Nico.

01:39Nico gets hurt.

01:40But, obviously, some kind of illegal formation or pre-snap penalty,

01:45he snaps it anyway and overthrows Higgins.

01:47And he comes back and overthrows Noel.

01:49And then he comes back and overthrows Hutchinson.

01:51So, he spread the ball around.

01:52I mean, he's getting several guys' looks.

01:55But at that point in time, there was an effort approach.

01:58When that game was still – somehow was still in reach.

02:01You had the ball, again, 12-plus minutes down, two scores.

02:05You're still in it.

02:08And for your quarterback to lose his cool, ultimately lose his head

02:12and just start dropping back and slinging the football down the field,

02:15I think CJ is beyond that.

02:17He's got to be, again, he's got to be a guy that steadies the waters

02:20in those moments and fixes things, as you said.

02:24Be a fixer, not a guy that –

02:26Well, we're not that right now.

02:28Well, no, but I mean, I'm just saying be that in an instance

02:32where it's very clear you're still in this game.

02:34I know it's frustrating, but very clearly it's a two-possession game.

02:37We saw teams score 30 for crying out loud.

02:41I mean, you're down two scores with 12-plus minutes left with the ball.

02:45As bad as it is, there's still a chance.

02:47You're one big play away from being right in the thick of this thing.

02:50And so, I thought he lost his cool there.

02:55You know, there's just the stars for this team,

02:59particularly in the first half, but the stars for this team,

03:01Nico Collins, C.J. Stroud, Derrick Stingley Jr.,

03:04they did not play well early on, and it was a major problem.

03:09So, look, I don't think C.J. did anything on Monday Night Football

03:14that puts me in a spot where I give him a positive grade.

03:17I don't – I think he was overwhelmed just like everybody else this offense is.

03:23I think the sitting on the sideline with that long face, that pouty face,

03:27and showing no emotion, I think that's a bad look.

03:31So, yeah, I don't – it is definitely a failing grade, so I'll go with an F.

03:36Toby gives C.J. a C-plus, cornbread an F, Charles a D.

03:42I think C.J. is in the early stages of checking out.

03:47Someone text in C.J. a wet noodle in his grade at F.

03:53I would say – I would still – I'll go with D because he's got an offensive coordinator

04:01who appears to be completely in over his head.

04:05Agreed.

04:05And an offensive line that just didn't have a chance at many, many times.

04:11Ursary just – I mean, he looks like he's right in line with the other ones

04:16they've drafted.

04:20Perception that he threw.

04:23Somehow.

04:24How about the lateral?

04:25There should have been a touchdown.

04:26Yeah.

04:27Somehow, though, Clint, they get this thing to 14-6.

04:31Again, Seattle, pissing me off, attempting to do everything they can to keep them

04:36in the game.

04:36They are just rolling.

04:3814-0.

04:39They're down and they're in scoring territory again, and then they go Cooper Cup pass.

04:43And they get you back in the game.

04:45You kick a field goal.

04:46You block a field goal.

04:47It's 14-6.

04:48You get the ball.

04:49Here we go.

04:51You got a chance.

04:52No reason to be in the game.

04:54And he threw just a god-awful interception.

04:57Yep.

04:57Just awful.

04:59And it was just – my God.

05:01I mean, Sam Darnold had maybe his worst game probably in the last year plus

05:07since the run with the Vikings this year.

05:10This may have been Sam's worst game.

05:13And it was clear who the better quarterback was on the field this night.

05:16Agreed.

05:17That is scary.

05:19Bad Sam Darnold was better than C.J. Straub.

05:24I mean, it was – I mean, Sam's making just terrible decisions all over the place.

05:29Still, it was clear who the better quarterback was.

05:33That – that is – that is concerning if you're the Texans.

05:37I mean – that I'm saying yep, it's male with attachment.

05:41I am not sure who the better or the better.

05:42I had to describe the fight back when it was being serious.

05:44Nope.

05:45I was to and I was just – I was like, no, hey, Sean.

05:48I was interested in getting just a little bit of sadness for me.

05:50I was going to try getting some ко bloody card now.

05:52Maybe it will be too late.

05:54But for I only gave you a little bit, but it doesn't matter whether it's not going through my

05:56way.

05:57I find that examples.

05:58So, if I don't know, really was society that was very bad to come, to come.
