Snake eyes on the clock. This Texans

0:07

game is over. So join

0:10

me on the field in the locker

0:12

room in the tunnels wherever postgame

0:15

along with my good pal John Harris, the radio

0:17

sideline reporter, as we break down a

0:19

little bit of what just happened with your

0:22

Texans in today's game. And

0:24

please take a moment to like, subscribe

0:27

and review this podcast. There's nothing

0:29

else like it. Nobody else is on the field postgame

0:32

like this covering your Texans. Here we go. All

0:34

right, this is a tough one. Texans fall on the

0:36

road fifteen to thirteen. How disappointing

0:38

is today?

0:39

Oh Barry, I will not put

0:41

this one on the defense at all, this one. Yeah,

0:44

yeah, last drive.

0:45

This thing should have been twenty three to twelve in that

0:47

final drive. And you know this should have

0:49

never been an issue. But offense

0:51

just today really didn't hold up. It's into the

0:54

bargain and be honest, they what

0:56

five passes were batted down, couldn't

0:59

make big down the field.

1:00

The run game was spotty.

1:04

When they got a big run, it was because Damian Bierce

1:07

made Brian Burns missing a backfield. It

1:09

just was disjointed very much so offensively,

1:13

Uh, and that's that's a

1:15

shame, because you know we're about to fly

1:17

home after this one and just kicking ourselves

1:19

at you know, three and four. We lost two games

1:21

now on the final you know field

1:24

goals, you know, the one in Atlanta. You know,

1:26

I felt like Desmond Ridder played his guts

1:28

out. Not gonna say Bryce Young did, but I feel like Desmond

1:30

Ritter did everything he possibly could.

1:32

And I felt like the offense did slug back

1:35

in that Atlanta game.

1:36

Today, I felt like the offense was just not slugging

1:38

back for whatever reason.

1:40

Game Carolina played a solid ball game, having

1:43

Burns.

1:43

And Muvu on the field. They were questionable coming in, but

1:46

they were they were prime playmakers and

1:49

just did things that were not very Texans

1:51

like. So now you got to trudge back up hill

1:54

three and four, try and get this thing back, going

1:56

against a really good Tampa Bay Buccaneers team at home.

1:58

Yeah, massive bummer. What do you think

2:01

was going on offensively? We saw Jared

2:03

Patterson leave with an injury, but before that, things

2:05

weren't clicking all the way as far as

2:07

Stroud having time at time, I mean, what did

2:09

you see that they kind of threw things off in

2:12

your mind.

2:13

Well, I feel like uh isro Ebro

2:15

called a really good game Carolina. Start there to give credit

2:17

where it's deserved. I feel like we call a really good game

2:20

against the Texas. They're just you

2:22

know, they're very quick in the passing lanes. The linebackers

2:24

were very quick. They made some you

2:26

know, knock them in. Lubo had one or two knockdowns

2:29

where he was kind of rushing

2:31

and kind of not and he just knew to get his hands

2:33

up, kind of knew where the Texas were going

2:35

to throw the football.

2:36

You know.

2:36

This is also they didn't get Dalton Schultz involved a

2:38

lot, and I thought they would do that. They really didn't

2:41

get him involved a lot. They couldn't get

2:43

the boots and the keepers really working, and they had

2:45

really no explosives.

2:46

You know.

2:46

Tank had a couple of nice runs, made

2:49

a couple of guys miss and that really kind of got things home.

2:51

But they just couldn't get anything down the field at

2:53

all. It's just nothing down the field. And

2:56

I think there was it looked a little disjointing

2:59

the offensive line. There was one play they ran where it

3:01

looked like the left side of the line, you know, Ler mean and

3:03

Titus just they looked like confused,

3:05

like they were blocking one play and

3:08

there was another play, you know,

3:10

the throat to Noah Brown that

3:12

got called back for I think it was Noah, it was

3:14

Nico. They got called back down

3:17

field. There was no reason for

3:19

a man to be downfield. That made no sense.

3:21

So it's just kind of some weird, odd

3:25

things that happened today, and unfortunately

3:27

it's gonna uh, you know, put to Texas

3:29

at three and four, and you know, I'm

3:32

trying to Drew, I'm trying to come

3:34

to grips with it.

3:35

It's hard because that's the team. You should have beat them.

3:37

He they had ten times you probably beat them, but you

3:39

play them at their place and you.

3:41

Allowed them to be in the game.

3:42

Once they got in the game, you know, you

3:44

got to stop on the goal line and you're like, okay,

3:46

like this is it.

3:47

They're gonna fold it.

3:48

They folder to give me credit for that. They played

3:50

hard, made plays and they needed to

3:52

right. Young made plays when he needed to. And

3:55

I don't want to hear anything about that dude being small, because

3:57

that guy's got the hard hard as big as the stadium.

3:59

Uh.

4:00

He was, he was the major reason that they're going home

4:02

with their first win in the year.

4:03

No doubt. You're about to get on the bus here

4:05

to leave for the airport. But that

4:08

defense sacked him six times and made

4:10

life hard for him, and he's still he

4:13

stays on for that final final

4:15

possession. I mean, what did what did you see

4:17

defensively? Actually, let's rewind.

4:20

What did you see that gives you hope? I mean, you lose by a

4:22

field goal as time ticks off the clock.

4:25

Surely there were some things that went in your

4:27

favor that went well for you today.

4:29

And I'm not just talking about Cam Johnson and his six punts,

4:32

four of which we're inside the twenty, one of

4:34

which is the longest punt franchise history.

4:37

Yeah, I thought Cam was gonna be my player of the

4:39

game grew, I mean, I really did.

4:41

He was phenomenal. But

4:44

I mean, look, the defense is able to get.

4:46

A ton of pressure and I think you know, they

4:48

ended up with fifteen points and they ended

4:50

up with I think ten where

4:53

off the field on third down and there's

4:56

a holding call down the field Thurday

4:58

nineteen, we're holding. And

5:00

then there was one where John Gernard just happened to get

5:02

to face mask and Bryce Young, you're

5:05

best a the sack. You're off the field if you don't grab his

5:07

face masking. I know Easter said and done, but you

5:09

know he had six sacks. You're all over

5:11

Bryce, but Bryce Rice

5:13

didn't stop. But you had one turnover that

5:16

turned into a field goal. You

5:19

know, the defense, the defense did everything

5:21

possible today that it could and

5:24

gave us fifteen points. You

5:26

know, offense is gonna have better days, that's for

5:28

sure, just today was not one of them.

5:30

All right, John, you gotta get on the bus to fly back

5:33

to Houston. Good to talk with you.

5:35

Let's do this again. We'll recoup,

5:38

we'll regroup, get back together on Tuesday,

5:40

doing in the lab. But until then, man

5:42

safe, travels home. Texans dropped

5:44

this one fifteen thirteen.

5:47

All right, brother,
