00:00I had to defend Hannah McNair beyond our show last night.

00:05Tyler, you remember Ron yesterday getting all personal about that Cal McNair video?

00:12That's not right.

00:13It got personal.

00:14I thought that video was so good, man.

00:16So frigging funny.

00:18Everybody I've heard talked about it thought the video was funny.

00:21I don't laugh at that.

00:23That humor is not funny to me.

00:24That dry humor, that's not real funny to me.

00:26You didn't like it either.

00:27She didn't hear you say that.

00:29Ron really didn't like it.

00:31I told you, man.

00:32I just don't like the way I had him look.

00:34So based off our conversation, right, we get done with the show,

00:37and I sit down with some friends that have a kid the same age

00:43as one of the McNair's boys, and they play baseball against each other.

00:48And apparently Hannah gets a little mouthy at the Little League Park.

00:54Shocker.

00:55No.

00:57Exactly.

00:57How about that?

00:58So, I mean, like, the questions you start.

01:02After that segment, man, because it's right at the end of the show,

01:05the questions just started flooding in, man.

01:06Like, you like Hannah McNair?

01:08I said, yeah, I like Hannah.

01:10Hannah's cool as hell.

01:10What's wrong?

01:13She's a real.

01:14And I said, what happened?

01:16Little League Park.

01:17She got real mouthy at the Little League Park.

01:19Now, to be fair, I was talking to a very, very clever, like family to me,

01:24and I used to go watch her play softball, so I know how her family acts.

01:29And then I've grown up with her and her brother and everybody else,

01:33so I know how we get down on that side of town.

01:37So, I told her, I said, let's pump the brakes a little bit.

01:40Hannah would fit real – she'd fit in real good over here with the Baytown crowd,

01:44rooting for their kids at the Little League Park now.

01:46All that chirping y'all do.

01:47But apparently she – so I had to talk her off the cliff.

01:50Everybody really loves Cal.

01:52Everybody in the group really loved Cal.

01:53Mine was out of love, too.

01:54Everybody loved Cal, man, but it was real questionable about what Hannah had been up to.

01:58Apparently, Hannah got – she went off the rails at some Little League Park, I guess.

02:03I bet she gets real good and emotional.

02:06Sounded like it.

02:07Sounded like it.

02:08I had to explain.

02:09Look, man, they're from Montgomery County, man.

02:12She's just passionate, man.

02:13Passionate.

02:13They're from Montgomery County, man.

02:15They get a little loose in Little League Parks now.

02:17Just, you know.

02:17Oh, yeah.

02:18Hey, got a lot in common with them Baytown folks now.

02:21We all get loose at the Little League Park.

02:23My mom was the loudest one there all the time.

02:25Also shocked.

02:28Dog cussing the announcer for mispronouncing my last name.

02:31Like it's brown or something.

02:34Like I just – it was wild.

02:37By the way –

02:37I got you back.

02:38I know you're transitioning, Clint, but by the way, happy birthday to Hannah tomorrow.

02:43Tomorrow's old Hannah McNair's birthday.

02:45I'll be damned.

02:46Look at that.

02:46Yeah.

02:47Happy birthday, man.

02:48Hopefully we can get a win this weekend and you and Cal can celebrate.

02:51Happy 27th.

02:53So don't be rude, Ron.

02:54How do you think Hannah and Cal celebrate a birthday?

02:57Oh, he's on the grill for sure.

02:59I'm going to stay out of that one.

03:01On a grill?

03:02I'm going to step out of that one.

03:04Oh, I think everybody knows where you're going.

03:06I'm just stepping out of it.

03:08You think he grills at the house?

03:09You don't think they hit the finest restaurant in Houston?

03:11Oh, they might do that too, but I'm sure it's –

03:14As you said, if they want a good steak, you know.

03:16Oh, I don't think Hannah's settling for the grill.

03:22I think they're hitting something, some fine dining in the city.

03:26Well, I'm sure she's listening.

03:27She made text.

03:28Well, hopefully we can get a big win this weekend and everybody be happy.

03:30Happy birthday, Hannah.

03:31Oh, there you go kissing up.

03:32There you go.

03:33Trust me.

03:34It ain't kissing up.

03:34I'm just telling you, happy birthday.

03:36I don't think she thought I was kissing up last night.

03:38Well, look, we've got to get a dub against the car.

03:41And what it looks like, I think, is a big part offensively this week.

03:46NFC game, I don't know that it has a ton of bearing, Ron, on the AFC picture

03:51and what our playoff picture looks like.

03:53I think the next three games are going to be the big ones.

03:54But it's a game that there's a lot of room for improvement for the offense.

04:00And I think the biggest question here, obviously, is what does the offense look like

04:04after last week's really second half, kind of struggled second half last week.

04:08Can this offense get on track before the playoffs to get here

04:12and before the defense may, hopefully they don't,

04:15but the defense may need a little bit of help at some point in time

04:18to get a lead and to get a win?

04:20This is an interesting week, Ron,

04:22because it comes down to what should the approach this week be.

04:25Obviously get a win, right?

04:27Obviously get a win.

04:28But I think there's a couple of things that they need to get their hands around.

04:33The problems that came up in the second half last week,

04:36I think have to change this week.

04:38And really moving forward in general.

04:42The defense's ability to take Nico Collins out of a game

04:45by just bringing a corner down and wrap safety over the top

04:48and him never moving, him never getting, you know,

04:50really doing much other than cutting his splits,

04:53that has to come to a stop.

04:55That has to come to a halt.

04:56And all I want, like if you're fans out there

04:58and you're watching the Texans, before the ball is snapped,

05:01see if they're moving Nico Collins in motion this week.

05:05I think it's one of those deals where even Nick Cayley looks at it

05:09and says, we've got to get it done.

05:12Yeah, it's just unacceptable, Clint, to have a possession, it feels like,

05:21let alone an entire half that you don't have a target or a catch to Nico Collins.

05:29But that is almost hard to do.

05:32I'm good with the possession.

05:34I've got to see that my O.C. is a Texans fan.

05:36I just want to see my O.C. realize, hey, man,

05:39we need this guy more than just letting him be taken away.

05:42I understand the spread the football around thing,

05:44but there's going to come a time when you need your best player

05:48who's difficult to tackle, who can run every route in the book,

05:51and we've got to find a way to get the ball in his hands.

05:54And a big part of that is when you are struggling like you were in that third quarter,

05:58I see you, little fella.

05:59You're all right, Bubba.

05:59I see you.

06:01But when you are struggling in a quarter like that,

06:03one way to get out of that funk is to find 12 and get the ball to him.

06:06And so that's one thing that I want to – I don't care what the score is this week.

06:09That's one thing that I want to see more of from jump.

06:13I want to see 12 moving in motion.

06:15The other thing is we talked a lot about it yesterday, Ron.

06:17The quick game and the screen game are absolute must this week.

06:21And I think they're must this week because it's got to become a bigger part of our offense.

06:25They're going to run the football and play defense.

06:27We're going to minimize the risk, and that's who we are.

06:32And I'm good with that.

06:33That's exactly who we are.

06:34And if you're going to do that, the best way to maximize the ball control offense,

06:40if you will, is to have a good quick game, good screen game.

06:43You've got to make teams.

06:45If you can't protect constantly and good enough to let your receivers get downfield,

06:51we've got to be able to stretch them sideline to sideline and make them defend us

06:55the 53 and a third or 53 and two-thirds, however wide a football field is.

07:01They've got to defend sideline to sideline.

07:02The way you do that is quick game, screen game, run game.

07:05And I think they've got to incorporate more of that quick and screen game in the mix here.

07:09And I think this week, again, this week is a really, really good time to get that rolling.

07:13Well, as we talked about yesterday, that has to start being a part of you would think it is the natural thing

07:22in a passing game, one, that you can slow down pressure in a pass rush if that's what you struggle with.

07:28And if you are going to be ball control, play through our defense, the other way to help it is sustaining long drives.

07:36And I think a way to sustain long drives is you're always, even with the quick game, you're always getting five, six yards

07:44and maybe a missed tackle turns into a bigger play.

07:46But you're always ahead of schedule.

07:48You're always ahead of the change.

07:50And that would help you keep the ball.

07:52I think it goes hand-in-hand with that defensive-minded, run-the-football, control-the-clock mentality.

07:58But what you just said is the real reason, right, is we have had a –

08:01we're two coordinators in with having real problems at the line of scrimmage consistently picking up pressures.

08:09And one way you can pick, quote-unquote, pick up pressures is screen game, quick game,

08:14minimize the opportunities for that pressure to get home.

08:17And so you look around the league and just some of the more run-oriented teams,

08:23some of the better play callers.

08:25I mean, there's a lot that gets done around the line of scrimmage

08:27in terms of getting the ball out of the quarterback's hands.

08:29And a lot of that is to not let the defense tee off, not let the blitzes get home,

08:33not let a Chris Jones ruin, you know, drives in quarters of a game.

08:38So I think that just absolutely has to happen, not just because this is a bad Arizona team,

08:45but because I think they're going to need that moving forward to take some of the pressure off of our defense.

08:50I got a couple of things here real quick, Ron, that I don't know that it's –

08:53I don't even know if it's realistic to ask.

08:55But I would love to – I would love to see them establish the run

09:02and use some guys other than Nick Chubb and Woody Marks.

09:10Those guys have to play, obviously, to a certain degree.

09:12We'll see about Nick Chubb, yeah.

09:13At least one of them does.

09:15But we absolutely have to have those guys down the stretch, man.

09:18I mean, Woody Marks is the one you absolutely have to have.

09:22But Chubb, life is going to be hard for Woody Marks if we don't have Chubb.

09:25So this is more you want to see – you want to see those guys get a little bit of their load lifted

09:32as opposed to you want to see somebody else see another weapon.

09:35But I think if you go in there and you handle your business, you could –

09:39I want to see – I know who Daria Gumbawale is, right?

09:42I want to see a British Brooks.

09:44I want to see this Cody Schrager kid, Schrader kid that they signed.

09:49I mean, I loved watching him in college.

09:51I want to see if he's got a little something to the –

09:53he brings a little something to the table so that we don't look up

09:55and in two or three weeks we're in the same situation to where, uh-oh,

09:58what are you going to do with the second string running?

10:00I want to see if he's got a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit.
