00:00And we talked about the Houston Texans.

00:02I like the Houston Texans on Sunday, George, against an Indianapolis Colts team,

00:08a Colts team that, listen, they were gangbusters at the beginning of the year,

00:12scoring over 30 points a game, but it looks like the blueprint is out a little bit on the Colts.

00:17I think if you try to sell out to stop Jonathan Taylor and put the ball in the arms of Indiana Jones,

00:23who, by the way, somehow, George, is on a broken leg.

00:26Did you see this? A fractured fibula of all things.

00:30I think that is a bit of a concern.

00:31This Houston Texans defense, one of the best in the league, allowing only 16 points a game.

00:37They have been hot lately.

00:38They have the extra rest, if you remember, coming off the Thursday night against Buffalo.

00:43And they get C.J. Stroud back, coming, clearing the concussion protocol.

00:48It is three and a half points in a division matchup.

00:50Weird things happen in the AFC South, George.

00:53I like the Texans with the points three and a half to further complicate the AFC South and the AFC wildcard picture.

01:00Oh, I would love to fight with you here, but I can't.

01:05I completely agree again here.

01:08Fractured fibula.

01:10And how is he playing?

01:11That sounds bad.

01:13That sounds like a broken leg, George.

01:15I mean, what is it, Jack Youngblood?

01:17I mean, you've got to be an older fan like me when he played in the playoffs in the Super Bowl with a broken leg.

01:22Well, it's the old thing with a broken leg.

01:25Yeah.

01:26And I get their different definitions.

01:27You know, it could be a small, small little fracture, maybe, whatever.

01:31But that doesn't sound good.

01:32And by the way, part of Daniel Jones is what he does well run.

01:37Does that mean he can no longer do that?

01:38You know, so now he's a statue in the pocket.

01:40He's not been throwing the ball well lately.

01:42He hasn't, you know, so I'm not saying they lost last week because of Jones.

01:48It really wasn't.

01:49It was a combination of Jones, the play calling, and maybe taking your foot off the gas, whatever.

01:53You know, they had all sorts of issues there.

01:54So weird situation here, but I'm with you.

01:57Give me all Houston.

01:58All right.

01:59Stroud is back, by the way, for those who didn't realize.

02:01He's out in the coach program.

02:02He's playing.

02:02He's starting.

02:03So we are going to get both starting quarterbacks here.

02:06That Houston defense, legit, maybe number one in the NFL, right?

02:10They're right there with Denver.

02:11You know, a couple other teams that are there as well here.

02:14But I'm with you.

02:16In my mind, it's one of those.

02:17Either I'm betting Houston or I'm leaving it alone.

02:19I'm certainly not taking any nap because I need to see more.

02:21Because if I'm Houston, Dane, I'm selling out to stop Jonathan Taylor.

02:25That's what I'm saying.

02:26Daniel, prove to me.

02:28Prove to me you can beat me.

02:29Until you do, eight men in the box, nine men in the box.

02:32I mean, I am stopping Jonathan Taylor.

02:33That's what happens.

02:34Absolutely.

02:35But like you say, I sell out to stop Jonathan Taylor.

02:38And that front of the Houston Texans, right?

02:40I mean, Will Anderson and Hunter, they can get after Daniel Jones with just four, in my opinion.

02:46You know, they bring the heat.

02:47They bring that pressure.
