00:00hit us up on the text line 713-572-4610 and said okay guys settle down we've had a disastrous
00:06start bleep happens things go bad sometimes D'Amico and core having a bad month but
00:13trust in D'Amico I trust why would you trust in D'Amico
00:19serious question why would you trust in D'Amico right now oh because he's had three winning
00:23seasons and yeah they've been to the playoffs for three consecutive years something that they
00:28hadn't done in a little while those Texans and well it's a clear difference from what the team
00:33had been in prior you sound you sound really convinced you seem really convinced you could
00:39have said that about Bill O'Brien this is true you could have said oh wow that's a good line
00:43there
00:44Figgy could have said that about Bill O'Brien can I just press pause on the whole show real quick
00:48I don't think we're going to make you feel better today I'm sorry like because you said that and I
00:52was like oh there's a lot of people driving that just put a middle finger up to their radio right
00:56there's a lot of people that did that press play yeah so you can like D'Amico Ryans and we
01:02all do
01:02you can feel like he is a good leader and we all believe in that you can like his his
01:08morals and
01:08ethics and we all do but D'Amico Ryans and Matt Burke which by the way we got to include
01:14Matt Burke
01:14here I mean he's truly literally calling the defense but D'Amico Ryans and Matt Burke specifically
01:19D'Amico because he sort of oversees everything is incredibly predictable with with with his defense
01:27right now and and that is a problem you know you know what what what did uh who was it
01:33said
01:34CJ Stroud you got to be an iPhone you got to update every year yeah CJ Stroud quoted uh Ryan
01:39Day his
01:39college coach at Ohio State saying that you know that that was a mentality you have to upgrade update
01:43every year yeah I don't think D'Amico Ryans is updated and and it was incredibly clear uh yesterday
01:50I think he's not being helped by Nick Casario's drafts which by the way D'Amico Ryans had so much
01:58confidence in Wade Woodaz and Aiden Fisher that he brought a dude up from the practice squad and gave
02:03him the green dot what up Kenneth Murray think about that for a second those are two draft picks one
02:10of
02:10had four snaps the other one had zero those are two of Casario's draft picks and again we will get
02:15to Casario plus a man in Jake Hanson that's been been with the program for a while yeah and he
02:19gave
02:19Kenneth Murray the green dot that's how bad the the groceries have been on the defensive side not to
02:25mention the offensive side which again we'll get to but but that groceries on the defensive side is
02:30not going to hit us where we live I'm sorry like there's there's too many assets no I'm talking about
02:35the recent you know the linebackers but still yeah yeah the guys that are getting paid big money are
02:39getting cooked but then that speaks to D'Amico and what their philosophy and approach is I think
02:43it's just too too predictable Brian Schottenheimer was was playing Madden I mean the way he was
02:48moving CD uh lamb around especially in the second half oh boy and what kind of defense gives up you
02:54know that is an all world you know perhaps all-time great defense boy do we feel stupid you know
02:59talking about that now um gives up 28 straight points in the second half or 28 points in the second
03:05half that that that speaks to the approach and the predictability and Brian Schottenheimer toyed
03:12with D'Amico Ryans and Matt Burke toyed with him CD lamb did you see the the where he lined
03:18up you
03:19know over the course of the game I did I saw his entire route tree and the route tree that's
03:23what
03:23covering the entirety of sideline to sideline it is 53 yards of routes yeah um to very a lot of
03:32a lot
03:33of success yeah for him and and and that thing that you just heard from Andre Ware you know about
03:38how
03:38does that happen in that crucial moment that final play you're lining up against Petrie that happens
03:43because you're hard-headed and stubborn and uh inflexible on the defensive side you can't just line
03:48up and beat folks anymore especially when Kamari Lasseter is a liability flat out let's just call
03:54it what it is he's a liability Kalen Bullock Bullock has has regressed depth as I mentioned a lot a
04:00second
04:00ago is alarmingly bad at the linebacker position this is this is bad on the defensive side it is it
04:11I mean
04:11it is bad like I can't I can't uh disagree with you there that let's stick with that for that
04:16final play
04:17or at least the the one in which uh CeeDee Lamb scores a touchdown CeeDee Lamb to that point had
04:22had 16 catches for 100 and what was it 170 some yards at that point or something like that
04:28and Andre's right how do you have um how do you have Jayla Petrie there and it'd be one thing
04:34if
04:34there was a zone that was being played there that's cover one man in it which is not something
04:40that is you know you're playing man in the red zone like that is a real belief in your folks
04:44but
04:44at that point you have to understand if we're going to play man why not go ahead and just match
04:49up because you do you know who Derek Stingley your you know second best cornerback in the league at
04:55least the way that we view it your high paid cornerback do you know who he was covering on
04:59that play he was on the opposite side do you know who do you know who he's covering on that
05:03I don't
05:03remember are you familiar with the dude who wore number 19 for the Cowboys Ryan Flannoy
05:08Flannoy well he could be a threat he did have a couple catches okay all right big dog did he
05:12have
05:12did he have 17 catches John Lopez 17 catches right like I'm why why not do that and there's there
05:20is
05:20enough of those moments but then on top of that like this was a very clear man that the miss
05:25the
05:25mistakes in the way that they're trying to do things I have I don't understand it I'd be lying to
05:32you
05:32if I told you I understood it because so much of it happens amongst guys that have played together for
05:36too long for these mistakes to happen right even on that final drive leading up to that final play
05:41that we're talking about you have a what is it second or third and long um in that on that
05:48drive
05:48where they get the ball out of cd lamb in the flats and he's able to go and just get
05:52a whole bunch of
05:53yards because nobody is in coverage there because of a miscommunication seemingly between Stingley and
05:59Reed Blankenship and I know it's easy to go with Blankenship you're the new cat but how do how are
06:03we
06:03still having these miscommunications one amongst the guys that have been here and been in the system
06:07but two we've been talking about miscommunications for four weeks now well that that's what I said at
06:13the very beginning you know you do you you can just talk to the sky yeah and talk to the
06:17wall
06:17if you're talking about communication uh that that that is a bigger issue uh that is a bigger issue
06:22it's personnel it's the the hard-headedness you know of them running the last the play with petrie
06:28oh I trust my guy don't trust him not against cd lamb please don't because we see what happened
06:34and the details are bad there too because and look I will start up front by acknowledging I am nobody's
06:41defense coordinator um maybe you could get maybe they could give me a very particular reason even
06:46though they never do as to why he's in you know soft outside coverage there versus cd lamb a dude
06:52who has been killing you over the middle all game uh well he's been killing you everywhere but why are
06:58you in soft outside coverage there yeah right like I especially at a moment like that especially with
07:03that dude like the time and place feel like it dictates hey look let's have something a little bit
07:08more man up and I know that that's a difficult position to be in I'm never going to uh forget
07:12that
07:12when it comes to defense but how are you in that place where even even if it's not the dude
07:18that
07:18you want there how is he playing a type of coverage right where you're just giving up
07:23did you hear that can you give me that highlight one more time can I just hear mark vandermeer and
07:27go ahead and brace for impact I know this is not going to make anyone feel good it doesn't make
07:30me
07:30feel good either listen to just how easy this is called because it looked exactly the same
07:35here's the snap here's the rush prescott firing to the end zone caught cd lamb touchdown dallas back in
07:41front bang bang bang nice and easy like there was there was no resistance sorry i hate the way
07:46you did andre where there man
07:51lined up on cd lamb how does that happen that's what we all want to know it feels like it's
07:57those
07:58things it's the same and i mean some of it is your your linebacker core clearly was taken advantage of
08:03because you had to bring up a you had to bring up a practice squad guy who was terrible in
08:08coverage
08:08even if he was pretty good at getting downhill those things were but that's it would be one
08:13thing if it was just those are the things that's happening and once you get henry told told back
08:17and once you get aziz al shire back it comes together but that's not it yeah again it's the ants
08:21they're
08:22they're all over this thing right it is it is the it is the breakdowns in the untimely breakdowns on
08:27third downs and not being able to in fourth downs and some of this also is like kamari lassiter
08:33getting a penalty in the red zone or as a with a fourth down stop that you would have gotten
08:37if
08:38not for it right those are all portions of defense as well and these guys are in the locker room
08:43talking about we just need to know our responsibility and all be in the right place how is that still
08:47the
08:47conversation how do you not have already you know how is that that that's just a weak excuse because
08:53because we can't come on one side and i know that there's complications and there's more it's more
08:57complex but it can't be on one side that this is a relatively like hey we want to play fast
09:02we want to
09:02play free this is relatively simple defense and then on the other side being like well we just
09:07can't communicate we're not getting it right it can't pick a struggle yeah it cannot be both of
09:11those things simultaneously right now it's both of those yeah and and you know you kudos to the
09:15players for for falling on the sword so to speak you know it's on us it wasn't coaching no it
09:20is
09:21coaching at this point it is coaching at this point because you can extend it to some of the things
09:26that they did with the penalties as we talked about earlier and and by the way you know i i've
09:31been on
09:32it's no longer just a hunch about the middle of this texans defense uh since game one it's not
09:38just the linebackers those interior defensive tackles or you know some some of the big runs
09:43that they had you know when they did have runs the the cowboys they didn't really do it a whole
09:48lot i
09:48think they they had you know something like 90 yards rushing um 75 yards rushing as a team yeah but
09:55they were the big ones were right between the guards right right up the middle they were getting
10:01pushed around up front too and the linebackers didn't do their job now this this is a big big
10:05problem on the defensive side again well you're in the loop here on 95.7 fan there's there's more
10:10depth because i think that some of this defensive structure is built to funnel things into the
10:14linebacker sure that's why i go harder on the linebackers but ultimately the point is the job
10:18isn't getting done and that's where that's where you've you've put all of your assets that's where
10:23you've put all of the pressure and they are coming up flatter than flat right now in this
10:27circumstance and you needed them greatly in that game especially
10:30hauntedoutez
10:30you
