00:00All right, go ahead.
00:01I feel like we should, we need to discuss two things
00:03because there were three quarterbacks that played at NRG Stadium last, yesterday.
00:06Yeah.
00:06One of them was good.
00:08Uh, two of them are awful, except one's a good running back as well.
00:11And Bo Nix.
00:11Yeah.
00:11Every now and then.
00:12Yep.
00:12So, uh, this is the thing.
00:15Uh, the death by a thousand cuts.
00:18I, it's, it's great between the twenties.
00:21It's a death by a thousand cuts turns into death by, by soggy noodle.
00:27Like they're trying to beat you.
00:28Sean, it's like if I try his soggy noodles, I got, I got four strands of spaghetti and
00:35I'm just going to, they're named Bo Nix and Nick Chubb.
00:38And I'm just going to try to, I'm going to try to whip you over the head with these soggy
00:42noodles.
00:43I got to tell you how's that taste?
00:44Yeah.
00:44I got to tell you, I think I know where you're going with this, but I'm not really intimidated
00:47by that very much.
00:48Exactly.
00:48Yeah, exactly.
00:49So the Texans inability, I mean, I should call it an ability to not score from the one yard
00:55line.
00:55Do you know how hard it is to not score from the one yard line?
00:58I saw you on KHOU say that in that last, last night.
01:02What did I say?
01:03You said that.
01:04I don't remember.
01:04Yeah.
01:05You said, you said, you did that basically that, like it's, it's hard to not score on
01:09six tries from inside the two yard line.
01:12From the one yard line, you have a 53% chance on any given play to score a touchdown.
01:16From the two yard line, you have approximately a 45% chance to score a touchdown on any given
01:21play.
01:22Yeah.
01:22The Texans have had through, if you go from the bucks to this game, how many total opportunities,
01:28six, 10, 10 plays at the one yard line or two yard line.
01:33And they've, they've come up with nothing.
01:36Yeah.
01:36They had a few in the Seattle game too.
01:38Towards the end of the game.
01:38That's right.
01:39That's right.
01:39You want to pile on.
01:40It's ridiculously easy to score from the one yard line.
01:44Yeah.
01:44And this is a, it's, it's so bad and ugly and stupid.
01:48It's really frustrating.
01:49So that was while CJ was in the game and CJ did a good job of working his way down the
01:55field.
01:56Death by a thousand cuts.
01:57Death by a thousand cuts.
01:58But they get down to the one yard line and Sean, I wasn't even joking.
02:01I think people thought that was a funny joke, but I was dead serious when on the second time
02:06yesterday's game, when they got down to the challenge reached out with the ball.
02:12I thought that's, that's too close.
02:14That's too close.
02:15If you're not going all the way in, get back to the five or 10.
02:18That's what I give them some room to work.
02:20When Xavier Hutchinson got that penalty on second down, maybe they tried the little, the little
02:25pop sweep there to Nico on second and goal at the two and Nico didn't get in, but they're
02:30like holding number 19.
02:31I'm like, genius.
02:32Xavier Hutchinson back us all the way up to the 11.
02:34Yes.
02:35We got a way better shot of punching it in from the 11.
02:37That's just football IQ.
02:39That was really, really smart.
02:41Iowa state.
02:41Yep.
02:42So the, the, that part in this married with, I, it felt to me so much on that first drive,
02:50especially with two, watch my language, two fullback dives.
02:55Yeah.
02:56The fullback dive is a nice little rhythm changer.
02:58It catches the defense by surprise.
03:00The rhythm's off.
03:01So you kind of, sometimes you just cram the fullback in there because the timing of everybody
03:06is, is you're playing your blocks, waiting for the, the tailback to get it.
03:11When you do it twice in a row, you lose that rhythm changing surprise.
03:16Well, it's different too.
03:17When there's all that clutter down near the goal.
03:19Remember that game?
03:20I forget which game it was.
03:21I know they won the game cause I was happy about it.
03:23They use British Brooks on short yardage situations, like around midfield, you know, to, to keep
03:29the chains moving.
03:30It's different using it when you're keeping the chains moving and the defenses spread out
03:35a little bit, a little spread out compared to the goal.
03:37Oh my gosh.
03:38The first play on the goal line, everybody was in all 11 offensive players right in there.
03:43Yeah.
03:43Second time they tried it.
03:44I think they had a Woody Marks was Woody Marks in on that one or was it Chubb is Chubb
03:50uh, mean law comes up and it's, this is where I get frustrated with D'Amico saying after
03:57the game that it's about will when you're down there, you know, Dre Greenloa versus British
04:02Brooks.
04:03Isn't about will that's about Drake freaking green law.
04:05It's Drake green law.
04:07D'Amico knows Drake green law.
04:09Do you want to hear D'Amico say that?
04:10Should we play it for the audience just to contextualize?
04:13I don't want to get mad at D'Amico, but there's an element here where it just, it felt
04:17like the football guy mentality of like, we just going to want it more than them.
04:21You know, Sean, if I tell you to go fight Drake green law, I mean, I incentivize you tell
04:28you, I'll give you a billion dollars and that would give me some willpower.
04:33You would have willpower.
04:34You would be committed to it.
04:36And Drake, your in law would kick your ass.
04:38What?
04:38Yes.
04:39For, for 37 cents, you would do it.
04:41You're probably right.
04:42I mean, there's a point where you got to say, listen, line it up and proven that we're tough
04:46and proven we can do it.
04:48No, you cannot.
04:49Yep.
04:49You don't have the horses.
04:50It's you can't win rock.
04:52This is, it's an Adrian Balboa situation is what it is.
04:56All right.
04:56So I, I, he's right this time.
04:58I've got, I've got major issues with D'Amico Ryan's this morning that I'll get to.
05:02Yeah.
05:02We should play the here.
05:04I'm going to play the, I'm going to, I'm going to play what you're talking about here.
05:06There's two things with D'Amico Ryan's and just the way the lens through which he views
05:12his offense right now, I think is a major, major issue for this team.
05:17Whether it's individual players or the offense as a whole, because, because let's, I know
05:23Nick Caley's calling the plays, but D'Amico Ryan's is setting the tone.
05:27You know, when they go into a goal to go situation, I don't, he's just outsourcing it completely
05:33to Caley.
05:34I think he's telling Caley, like, look, let's pound it in, find your, find your four best
05:38run plays and let's run this thing in from the one when they are not that team.
05:42Here's D'Amico Ryan's.
05:43This was his opening statement yesterday after the Texans 18 to 15 loss to the Denver Broncos.
05:49To start for us, it wasn't good enough.
05:51We were in the red zone multiple times as an offense there at the one yard line, had multiple
05:55opportunities to get it in.
05:57That's just about, you know, it's sheer willpower to me.
06:00It's like the one yard line, we got to find a way to, you know, displace guys at the line
06:05of scrimmage and punch the football in, right?
06:07And that, that's what it takes.
06:08In that situation, we didn't get it done.
06:11Multiple other opportunities in the red zone, we came up short, right?
06:14We made it in the red zone three times.
06:16We just like to see us convert and get in the end zone versus a really good Denver team.
06:21You know, credit to those guys.
06:22They did an outstanding job.
06:24Defensively, they did a good job of getting stops.
06:27They needed to get stops.
06:29We didn't play well in the red zone.
06:30We didn't play well on third down.
06:32So if you don't win in those situational, critical moments of the game, it's going to be hard to win.
06:39Okay, here's, there's a few things here.
06:40The big picture thing about not knowing what your team is, you don't have that team, dude.
06:45Not against this defense.
06:46Did you see that big, fat, fake J.J. Watt?
06:49Zach Allen.
06:50Zach Allen.
06:50My God.
06:50He was all over the place, man.
06:52So you, you are not that team.
06:54I don't know what you're looking at that says you can just line up against the Denver Broncos
06:58and just pound the ball four times and get in the end zone.
07:02All right?
07:02And I don't know what the QB sneak from the two-yard line was with Davis Mills.
07:06I don't know what the hell that was.
07:07That's just the thing that Davis went rogue.
07:11Decided to glory himself.
07:12Yeah, yeah.
07:13Yeah.
07:14So, so that, so there's that.
07:17So that's the goal to go, the goal to go stuff.
07:21In fact, let's stick there for a second.
07:22This was a team that was out with, without Patrick Sertan.
07:25I think it was you that said it to me.
07:26Yes, I said that.
07:26I'm looking at it and I'm thinking, okay, where's the one area of the defense that Patrick
07:31Sertan's absence hurts the least for the Broncos?
07:35Oh, right up the middle on goal line.
07:38Yes, yes.
07:38You got a backup Abrams drain cornerback filling in for him, who looks like he weighs about
07:43all 142 pounds.
07:46And you've got these gigantic Redwood wide receivers and options and what have you.
07:52And it just, I, but it's that, it's that.
07:55You're right.
07:55It's the physical matchup of your offensive line versus those defensive line.
08:00What have you been watching?
08:01They are manlier than you.
08:02Yes.
08:02They are tougher than you.
08:04There's no part of you proving how tough you guys are by getting manhandled in that fashion.
08:12And by the way, it's not just the offensive line, because it's not like those guys were
08:15getting blown back.
08:16You don't have the running backs either.
08:18Right.
08:18Nick Chubb, British Brooks, twice in a row to British Brooks.
08:22British Brooks.
08:23See, I'm looking at the play-by-play.
08:24I was laughing as you were setting up that last one, because it's zero yard run, zero yard
08:28run.
08:28Oh, it looks hilarious.
08:29Zero yard run.
08:30Yeah.
08:30Four yard penalty.
08:31Yeah.
08:31Rhythm changer.
08:32Yep.
08:32Yep.
08:33Yep.
08:33So that was the goal to go stuff.
08:35And by the way, this isn't like an isolated thing.
08:38This is, as you pointed out, it was an issue in the Bucs game.
08:41It was an issue in the Seahawks game.
08:43It's been an issue.
08:44Scoring touchdowns has been an issue in the five losses that the Texans, the Texans have
08:49scored four or five losses.
08:52And honestly, like a couple of them, like one was a garbage touchdown at the end of the game
08:57against the Seahawks.
08:57One was a touchdown where the Bucs might've been letting Nick Chubb score.
09:01You know, like you, you, and another was a one play drive.
09:04It's a bomb to Nico.
09:05Like this team's inability to put together sustained drives to score touchdowns over the
09:10course of their five losses is, is a joke.
09:13And to, for D'Amico Ryans to look at this off, like to look at the offense and say, let's
09:18pound it up in there and score a touchdown to look at Jalen Noel and have him get one
09:23touch in a game like this, to look at Daria Gumbawale and say, he should be in there on
09:27offense.
09:27So I don't, the self-evaluation of this coaching staff as to what they should be putting out
09:32there offensively and what they should be doing offensively is a joke.
09:36I can't, I can't criticize the coaches for not getting Jalen Ball, the ball, Jalen Ball,
09:41Jalen, Jalen Noel, the ball more because Davis Mills was a quarterback for the vast majority
09:45of the game and he was confused as hell.
09:47He didn't know where the hell to go with the ball.
09:48Okay.
09:48They went 15 straight third downs without converting a third down 15, 15, they were three for 17
09:55and CJ had at least two of those.
09:57CJ had two.
09:58Davis had one.
09:59Davis had one.
10:00Davis had one.
10:00Good for you.
10:01Yeah.
10:02Davis.
10:02Good for you.
10:02Davis Mills.
10:03You looked like a rookie out there.
10:05He didn't know what the hell he was looking at.
10:07Yeah.
10:07I think D'Amico said we converted three third downs on the first drive, then didn't the rest
10:11of the game.
10:11One of them was actually a fourth down.
10:13They converted.
10:13So this is the problem.
10:14This is the problem.
10:15Cause you know, I'm very, I mean, I hesitate to criticize.
10:18Play calling.
10:18Cause it's always easy in hindsight to say, but okay, the Tampa game, you get down to
10:25the goal line and you're in gun the entire time.
10:28Yeah.
10:28This game and you want to run it up the gut four times in a row.
10:34Yeah.
10:35Like might, might you be perhaps setting up a play action?
10:38Could you do something?
10:40Could you do something?
10:41Like, what is your, did you even have a plan?
10:44He passed the first failed attempt.
10:45Yeah.
10:46This is what makes it even more frustrating that Ravens game.
10:50And I know it was against the skeleton crew, but that, I was so encouraged by that game
10:54just based on the things they were doing as a team granted against an inferior opponent.
10:59But remember, man, remember down at the goal line in that game, they had the play where
11:03they fake toss to Woody Marks and then flipped it out to Jalen Knoll.
11:07And it looks like a misdirection, like things that other teams do things that when you sit
11:10and watch red zone during the post game show, like Clint and I do, and you're watching teams
11:15that aren't great teams, like the Raiders are not a great team, but they were piecing
11:19yesterday.
11:20You know, like that Jags Raiders game.
11:21I'm like, okay, it's the Jags and the Raiders, but the final score was 30 to 29.
11:25Like they were doing things, pretty basic things that it looked like any team should be able
11:30to do on offense.
11:31But the Texans cannot even come close to doing on offense.
11:34This offense is a joke.
11:35It's ridiculous.
11:36It's a joke.
11:37It's a joke.
11:38It is.
11:39It's hilarious.
11:40They just, they are, I mean, you, you watch that game once it became Davis Mills versus
11:45Bo Nix, it became all about Sean Payton to me because Sean Payton, look, he doesn't have
11:50a good, Bo Nix is not a good quarterback.
11:51I don't care what the hell anybody's trying to propagandize me with.
11:54Did you see his deep balls?
11:56He's Will Levis.
11:57I mean, every single one, he had Sutton wide open and that wasn't even that great of a throw.
12:02So if, I mean, they, if, if Stingley, if Stingley hadn't gotten beat at the line there and that
12:07wasn't Bullock's fault, I don't believe, I think Stingley was going to try to work back
12:13to the outside.
12:14But I mean, it was, it was awful.
12:16The Bullock interception was a badly thrown ball.
12:19That wasn't, good job by Bullock with the ball skills to get it.
12:23But like, he's not a good quarterback.
12:26He can do some fun little things and he can run, obviously.
12:29But that's all, that was all Sean Payton.
12:31So you had Sean Payton on the other side of the ball, news alert, much better offensive
12:35coordinator than Nick Caley.
12:39Cause you're right.
12:39So, because so much of it, well, CJ was in the game.
12:44You can still look at, you look at their inability to score at the goal line, lost on the game.
12:49Lost on the game.
12:50A hundred percent.
12:51It's a magnificent defense and it's being wasted.
12:54If you, if you had scored on even one of those drives, the game is even more on Bo
12:57Nix's shoulders.
12:59You know, they were like, there was a one score game for most of the inside of a one
13:03score game really all day long.
13:05And so, you know, you get a second score and they're behind by two touchdowns.
13:09Then now you're putting it more on Bo Nix.
13:11We cannot get through the open of this show though, without getting to the end of the
13:14game.
13:14And this plays into the theme of what, what exactly does D'Amico Ryan's think his team
13:19is, or what did he think they were yesterday at the end of the game?
13:22And I saw him getting killed for this.
13:24So I was glad to see him getting killed for this outside of Houston.
13:26Cause I thought I was maybe being a little like over the top.
13:30I was sitting next to you and I wasn't sure if you, I wasn't sure if you were getting
13:32sick of me or not like harping on what, how did they just run three plays and only burn
13:3620 seconds off the clock?
13:38And to set it up, just to put it as simply as possible.
13:41If they had run three plays and not gotten the first down, they could have run the clock
13:45down to about 20 seconds and Denver would have no timeouts.
13:47Denver had two timeouts.
13:49There's a minute 14 to go.
13:5213 yard line, I can recite a chapter in verse.
13:56So a team that had just gone three and out five times, or punted five times, punted five
14:01times, punted five times, three and out, three and out, three and out, four and out, five
14:05and out.
14:05They were in 18 plays.
14:06They were in 18 plays and five drives, punted five times in a row.
14:09They're on their own 13 yard line.
14:11They've got a little bit over a minute and your plan is to get a first down and maybe get
14:17into field goal range.
14:18No chance.
14:19So versus draining the clock down, punting with 20 seconds left, Denver might get the
14:27ball with like 15 seconds and no timeouts or whatever.
14:29They wouldn't be able to do anything.
14:30Yeah.
14:30And then, and then at least you could get some field position perhaps with a kickoff return
14:34or what have you or anything.
14:36Something, something where you're better than the 13 yard line.
14:38Something where you're not at risk of giving them a chance to win the game.
14:41This is what they did.
14:42This is what Sean Payton would have done.
14:45Right.
14:46Sean Payton would have just run the ball and maybe you get the first down and even better.
14:49Yeah.
14:49Yeah.
14:50Yeah.
14:50But they're just, but you give, you give them an opportunity.
14:54You throw an incomplete pass.
14:56You throw a ball to a rookie who runs out of bounds and you throw a third incomplete
15:00pass.
15:01And now Denver's got the ball.
15:02You ran 24 seconds off the clock and Denver's got the ball with 50 seconds on their own 35 yard
15:07line.
15:08And all they got to do is get into field goal range and they have two timeouts.
15:11They didn't even use their two timeouts.
15:12These one just to set up a field goal.
15:14They were standing there at the end of the game, waiting to call their final timeout.
15:17They're waiting for the clock to run down.
15:19Yeah.
15:20That was a, you know, and again, if you had just run the ball and punted, it would have
15:23even been less than 20 seconds.
15:25It would have been a punt itself would have taken, would have taken 10 seconds.
15:28We were doing the math on the post game.
15:31Yeah.
15:31I would be 20 seconds on.
15:33Yeah.
15:34Yeah.
15:34Yeah.
15:34This is like, I'm like, what are you watching?
15:36What are you looking at?
15:37What are you watching?
15:38What have you seen of Davis Mills and his big doe eyes and his confusion and sailing
15:42balls over wide open Christian Kurtz that you thought something was going to happen?
15:46Let's play it real quick because it's a quick cut.
15:48This was D'Amico Ryans on the decision-making on the last drive.
15:52I had a thought there.
15:52We wanted to get some quick passes to get us moving.
15:55We're trying to drive down.
15:56Me too.
15:57Of course, you know, try to get in field goal range, but to have a couple quick incompletions
16:02is not the plan at all for us.
16:05You have to run something.
16:07You have to run something on first down that keeps the clock moving.
16:11You have to run something on first down that forces Sean Payton into a decision himself.
16:16You have to.
16:17You hand the ball off.
16:19You know, you do something.
16:20A screen pass.
16:22You don't drop back and take the guy who has, who has, to your point, run 18 plays
16:27in five series and hope that he completes a pass against a defense that has shut you
16:32down the entire second half.
16:34I don't think.
16:35I think D'Amico's positive attitude might be getting the better out of him when it comes
16:39to evaluating his offense.
16:40You nailed it.
16:42Yeah.
16:43You nailed it.
16:43It's just like the, there's, there's certain things you can't will your way to, you know,
16:48how many, I'll tell you honestly, there's a lot of people listening right now that have
16:52way more will and grit and determination than 90% of NFL players.
16:56And none of them can actually play in the NFL.
16:59Most of them are like, uh, one of us, an accountant.
17:01Uh, another is a housewife.
17:03Yes.
17:04Another is a, um, uh, a retired, uh, police officer.
17:07Like it's just like physical ability, man.
17:11I has a grittiest post woman you've ever seen.
17:15Yes.
17:15Miss Stevenson gets after it.
17:17Yeah.
17:18Cannot, cannot protect to save her life.
17:21Yeah.
17:22Yeah.
17:22There is a, uh, uh, an absence of a lack of talent.
17:27They have talent.
17:28And I'm trying to, it's, I could easily write this off as a, all right, well, it's your backup
17:34quarterback.
17:34No, it's all.
17:36Listen, I know.
17:36Listen, I would, I could, except for the fact that you're a quarterback.
17:40That even when CJ was in there, you can't do anything like, no, no.
17:45Like, look, what am I, do I, did I expect Davis Mills to do anything great versus that
17:49defense?
17:50I did not, but I also hope that at the very least he could get some help from his offensive
17:55coordinator and his head coach.
17:56Yeah.
17:56I didn't expect it to look like that.
17:58Yeah.
17:58I like, like, honestly, Sean, like Bo Nix is going to drive Sean Payton crazy because,
18:02uh, Sean Payton's doing a good enough job with that.
18:05And now he's, he's, he's not a good quarterback.
18:07No, he's not.
18:08Why do people keep telling me he's good?
