My admiration for him has grown since his press conference yesterday. Before we dive into that, though, remember the challenge that he had on Sunday? The step on digs, the bad spot, diving for the first down, and then they changed the spot, but he lost the timeout because you can only challenge lying to gain in the NFL. You can't challenge the spot. I was unfamiliar with that rule. I did the deep dive, and that is the rule. That is the rule. The question that I now have, though, do you think D'Amico Ryan's knew the rule? I don't think so. Do you think that he knew the rule? I mean, I don't coach in the NFL, so I'm not really responsible to know that. Look, I think that here's the thing, too, because we've talked about this with the ineptitude of David Coley, and we know that, depending on who the coach has been, that I think that on their list of priorities, and we've seen coaches bring in guys just specifically on the headset to be like the guidance counselor for challenges and time management type things. I think that D'Amico probably has so much other things to worry about. There is a chance he didn't know. Yeah. The other, like, part of -- I don't think that he did either. I don't think that he did either. There's two clues to me in 7-1-3-7-8-0-3-7-7-6. He wasn't asked about this after the game. He was not asked about it yesterday, either. One thing, like, if you're challenging it real time, like, yes, they got the spot wrong, basically turned it from a fourth and two to a fourth and one, you get the field goal. Like, you get the field goal after you gain the yard. So it's like, okay, that's kind of curious there. And then the second thing, let's not forget, they screwed up the first half in the indie game. Like, so they have shown that they're not necessarily 100% knowledgeable when it comes to the refereeing aspect of the game. Should you be? Probably. Probably. If these are the things that are coming up, you probably need to be. And I don't know if he knew or not. But I did wonder. I did have the question. For sure. It's legit. I'm on the fence. I kind of lean, no, because I don't think that I don't think you watch that play and you think that you're getting the first down there. No, you think that you're not going to lose the challenge, but legitimate. It's going to make a tougher decision for you to make or give you a better chance to get the first down if you should you choose to go for it because of the fact that the ball should have been closer to the line. But instead, I think we all kind of found out real time that that's not the rule. That's not the case. And even if you're right, you're wrong. Because watching it, and I have the luxury of watching on TV, Demico doesn't. Like, I didn't think that he was good. I thought it was a bad spot. I didn't think they were going to be given the first down. So I don't think that Demico knew the rule. Yeah, because if you're under the impression that you're challenging spot of the ball, because of what was probably being told to him in his ear from people who are getting to watch it on TV, they're probably telling him, "Okay, this is an easy win." We know at the very least, we're going to get, you know, six inches of foot, something to where we don't lose our time out. This is an easy win, so you might as well go for it. I think if he knows he has to be able to get the first down, then that goes right out the window. It's not even 50-50 to me at that point, because you can't tell exactly when the ball crossed out of bounds as digs and stretching towards the pylon. So I think there is a pretty decent chance he didn't understand what he was challenging. And I think that the field goal element of it is what sways me to "he didn't know." Because if you go for it, okay, they're trying to cut the distance to gain in half. They're trying to make it two yards to one yard, go for it. I totally understand why you would be fighting for that yard. But to kick the field goal after winning that yard? I don't think he knew. I don't think he knew, but that's beside the point, just something that I was kicking around with a buddy yesterday. Now, here's the reason that I love D'Amico Ryan even more. You know that I am a big advocate for violence when it comes to football. You know that I felt great about the things that Aziz al-Shire was doing on the football field on Sunday. I love that he had Caleb Williams into the sideline. He was still in the field of play. Don't be soft. Go hit the dude. He was an enemy territory. They were being very mean to Aziz al-Shire, and he took matters into his own right hook. So I like that from Aziz al-Shire. I also didn't cost his team because he avoided the 15 yard penalty. He did it. He was able to cover it up on top of that. In conspicuously, but I don't know how he did that. Cover it up on top of that. So D'Amico Ryan was asked about this yesterday. And now I got even more love for D'Amico Ryan's. From my perspective, seeing Aziz, he had a big hit on the quarterback and everyone goes. Everyone gets a little antsy when the quarterback gets hit on the sideline. But if the quarterback stays in, he's going to get hit. And now I think everybody's a little sensitive when they're big hits in the league. We're still playing a physical game and you're going to get hit hard if you're playing against us. That's just how we operate here. Oh, I feel like Torel Owens when he was crying about that's my quarterback with Torel. I feel like that right now at D'Amico Ryan. D'Amico Ryan's is taking the words out of my mouth. We are not going to be soft. We are going to hit you. We are going to hit you hard. The league has become sensitive to hitting the quarterback. This is music to my ears. Thank you for saying this D'Amico Ryan's. I have never loved an NFL head coach more than I love D'Amico Ryan's. After hearing that sweet, sweet words come out of his mouth. Look, I think that we talk about the culture. We talk about kind of setting a tone for your season. And I think that in the past, and we know under which coaches, and we know what the deals were, that this was the last thing anybody considered from the Houston Texans. The fact that he has set the tone and he has supported one of his players, and I think that you can't help if you're another player in that locker, or anybody that follows this team closely or roots for this team, you can't be anything other than jacked up and excited that, hey, we're not backing down to anybody. And we're going to, we're going to be the one that delivers the blow. We're not going to be the one that's taking it anymore. And I think it's fantastic. I do, as I said yesterday, I have very much concerned about the fact that I don't want to be without Al Shair in any type of situation where the game is still very close and there's plenty of game to be played. So I needed to be smart with that. But I loved the hit because he was clearly on the green. He hadn't gotten to the white of the sideline. So I don't think it was a dirty play. I think that it was a really good hard shot. You want, you want to be the team that's punching, or you want to be the team that's taking the punches? Yeah, there's no doubt you want to be the punches. No, to be fair, D'Amico would later in that, you know, bite. He would say that, you know, we don't want our players throwing punches. It's going to be smarter there. So in the interest of fairness, he did say that the punch was a little bit too extreme. But give me a physical brand. Give me a team that's going to swarm around the football field. Give me the team, like Jalen Petrie. I was watching. I didn't, I didn't get a chance to finish the all 22 today. I watched like about the quarter, the first quarter, and then a half of the second quarter. Jalen Petrie fly it all over the field, delivered huge hits. As bad as Aziz al Shire was in week one was as good as he was in week two, delivering some huge, huge hits. The pressure, the defensive line, like they made Caleb Williams fill, fill them. And like Caleb Williams, I thought, look pretty good in the first 20 minutes of that game. They had the opening drive where they went down and got a field goal. Look pretty good on their second drive. Like it's making good, tough throws. And then what happens? He starts to get hit repeatedly and he starts to lose his accuracy. What a thought. A quarterback who's not confident in his offensive line, who's getting hit every single team. Every single time he drops back to throw, loses accuracy. Be the violent physical team. I love that attitude and that philosophy from Namiko Ryan. It's contagious and I think that what you said about when you look at Petrie, he had very, very noticeable hits on multiple occasions. But the fact that when you interviewed Will Anderson after the game and they're talking to him at his locker and he says the thing that stands out to him the most of all the players on the defense making plays and making hits, it was Petrie because of the fact that he likes to get down in the box and he likes to do things. That means that other players are seeing that. That means it's contagious. If Namiko is leading the charge on this and you know that you've got a different kind of dog and you know it's more than just swarm, it's about like absolutely not delivering blows, being physical, adding some pop to the swarm, that other guys are going to want to get in on that too. Other guys are going to want to be that aggressive as well. And that's a different mentality, quite honestly, than I think we've seen maybe ever with the Houston Texans no matter who they've had on their defense. They got that dog. They got that attitude. Can I request quickly for Joel to say dog? What was it? I liked it. Yeah. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. It was really. I did the ball he had on. You ruined it. You ruined it. 8-3-4-1. I love Demiko for his presence on the sidelines. He's just like one of the players. He's over there laughing, grinning, having a great time and still whatever. He's got to put that head coach attitude on. He can do it. Yeah. I love Demiko. Like Demiko I think is a really, really good head coach. I think he's one of the better defensive minds in the NFL. I think he's a top two, top three leader already in the NFL. Look at the culture change. I mean the culture in the Houston Texans locker room was the worst in the NFL, the worst in the NFL. It's arguably the best in the NFL now. One of them. Yeah. Because of Demiko Ryan and like that's the one attribute I think we underrate from head coaches is leadership. We're always like, oh, this guy's a great offensive play caller. This guy had the number two defense. What about leadership? What about the guy that's the captain of the ship that's changing the entire aura of the organization? That to me matters more than the other stuff. And there's so many layers to the leadership. So whether you say it's its own separate characteristic or it's just under the category of leadership, motivation matters too. Because you could set up the X's and O's. You could be a great game planner, but it's another thing that after that's done to be able to take your players to a level of wanting to run through a brick wall and bring their level of not just enthusiasm, but just their overall effort to another level. And I think that that's where the synergy of having all of that with one guy means so much because we see a lot of guys that have some of the characteristics. But the ones where they lack are then reflective on the way their team acts. Yeah. I think one area that we lose sight of what Demiko is really good at too is bringing the best out of his players, whether it's putting him in really good spots to succeed or developing those players. But Christian Harris wasn't on the football field a whole lot last year early in the year. By the end of the year, we're like, dang, the Texans have all of a sudden a top 20 linebacker and Christian Harris. And it's unfortunate. We haven't seen him this year. Derek stingley, like, Oh, no, this might have been a bust. It should have taken sauce gardener. And yes, the injuries were a big factor as to why by the end of last season, it's like a stingley better than sauce. Look at Jalen Petrie. Two games this year. Like Jalen Petrie. Last year, it's kind of like, I don't know if Jalen Petrie's getting like a starting safety in the NFL. Well, I see where he can be successful. I think it's in the box. I think it's playing nickel corner and it's like first two games. Okay. I see the vision. I see the vision. Yeah. It's the ability to motivate and then also kind of direct to the players. He's done it with Fred Warner. He's done it with multiple players when he was in San Francisco. He's doing it again now. He's getting the best out of every player on his roster. I don't think it's just defensively either. I think so far to this point, when you look at a Kenyan green, we basically were writing him off. We were basically saying he was done. We heard all these things about the number change, the body change, the attitude change, all these other things. But you really weren't sure you could ever believe it. And now looking at him, you go, it looks like a totally different player. Now you understand that this is the reason why he was drafted where he was because this is the guy they thought they were probably getting, but now the reason why you're getting it is because the entire coaching staff, the entire organization is taking players to another level. It doesn't matter where you're drafted. I mean, you go Collins. Nico Collins was basically, I would say struggling, but we were wondering who he could be, you know, and he was the third round pick and we were like, well, now look at, he's the clear cut wide receiver one on this team. He's dominant. He's got everybody talking about him and he's elevated it to another level. You can go on and on about the fact that some people say, you know, the players still have to play, but it means something when you get a coach that can take you from one level to a completely another level, just by doing his job the right way. Yeah, I think he has flaws. Like I thought his game management last year was pretty average. I think we've seen at least one, maybe two game management issues already, two games into the season, but there might not be another coach in the NFL that I'm taking over Demika rise. I mean, I legit love the guy legit. I love him too. I think that as much as they got it wrong with the first two swings and misses, they got it absolutely right. They had to get it right. And they did. And I totally believe in Demika Ryan's, but I think that we knew last year, the first year, any, any player, any coach, you're going to have hiccups. You're going to have mistakes. It's going to be a learning curve and you're going to have to roll with it. And even this year, the end of the first half, that was a debacle that could have hurt you, but you survived it and now you move forward from it. And if you've learned from it, then there's more value to it as you go forward and Demika right away owned it the minute that the first half interview started and they asked them about it. That's on us. And we got to do better. I like that. Better than trying to say we don't know the officials, this blow it on, you know, blame it on that. He owned it. Yeah, I don't expect them to be perfect. Like I don't expect anybody to be perfect. Like we're going to criticize their mistakes, but whenever I admire the ownership in it, Ryan, I like it when the coaches for my favorite team actually know how to coach. See, that's the, the funny thing is I get frustrated whenever you have terrible coaching. I can live being out talented. I can live with the other team having more talent on their roster. I get frustrated whenever I, I, my teams get out coached. And with what you have right now, like in the city, I don't think baseball is this huge like game management sport, like it's certainly not football and basketball. Love what you have in Demiko. Love what you have in Imayadoka. Love what you have. H has going quite frankly. So I love where the, the, the profession of coaching is at currently in the city. Look, you got a lot of fun. You got to give a spot of the credit because from where he started and where this team was, the fact that no one lost faith in hoping him to, to now be a part of turning this team to where they are currently, I do think that he should get credit for that. And I think that again, we knew he was going to make mistakes. This is his first time at the helm, but as it relates to Demiko and you look at the things that he's, he's done already as opposed to when we knew that Bill O'Brien didn't even know when to throw the challenge flag and he always struggled with time management and play calling and, and Shane Lechler had to tell him one time, run down the sidelines to throw the freaking red flag to the fact that David Cully knew nothing. He didn't know how to manage the clock. He didn't know how to manage his timeouts, you know, analytics has an analytics is something that I won't take away from him. He knows analytics, but he all, you know, he didn't know challenges. He didn't know anything that he had never done before and it never changed with Demiko even when he makes a mistake, he's learning from it. He's owning it. That's something that's a rare quality again for a coach. Blaine says those mistakes by Miko, he'll get better at, he's still learning some of that stuff. I agree. I think they're easily correctable. I think the mistakes you learn, you, you learn, you do once like don't make the same mistake twice. I don't think Demiko will. Keith Branham, if you love Demiko so much, why don't you marry him? We're both happily married men, but that's the only reason Keith, that's the only reason I wouldn't marry him. All right. 71378037. I would run through a wall for him though. All right, two no teams in the NFL that you think will miss the playoffs and oh and two teams to make the playoffs, 7137803776, it's the bees on ESPN 97 5 and ESPN 92 5. You're locked in with the killer bees on ESPN 97 5 and 92 5. Life in the Veritex Community Bank Studios, here's Joel Blank and Jeremy Branham. There's a bunch of teams in the NFL that are two and oh, there's a bunch of teams in the NFL that are oh and two by my count, there's nine two and oh teams, there's always user error, whatever I'm doing things. And then the oh and two teams, you also, you have nine nine, oh and two teams. So give me your top three two and oh teams to miss the playoffs. Two and oh teams to miss the playoffs, I three of them, I will go Steelers Seahawks. And now it gets challenging. I will man. So it's bills, bucks, Chargers, Chiefs, St. Seahawks, Steelers, Texans and Vikings at two and oh, I say the Steelers, I say the Seahawks. And I will say the box, okay, say those again, Steelers Seahawks bucks. Okay. So you have probably the Saints to win the NFC South though. Now I do. Okay. So it seems like I said, I was looking at this, it said, since the NFL went to the 17 game schedule, 22 teams have started two and oh, 17 have made the playoffs a clip of 77.3%. Cool. I mean, if you want numbers to go with that, but I just look, I don't believe in the Steelers to be able to keep this going and their quarterback plays awful. I don't believe in Geno Smith. The third one's difficult because bakers looked really good and the Saints have looked really good. I don't have the Saints or the bucks in my top three to miss to miss the playoffs after two and oh star. My top three are the Vikings. Sorry. Love the story that's going on. Skull, skull, skull love the story. Love what's happening. Troll troll. No, I really do like I kind of find myself pulling for Sam Darnold. I love Justin Jefferson. I'm a huge Justin Jefferson fan and I kind of like walk out on with that what a limb to walk out on. I'm the big fan of the best wide receiver in the league. Well, I mean, there's, I don't like Jamal Chase. I usually really be able to say he's, he's like, he's become a little self centered. Have you not noticed how self centered? I usually dislike the best players in the NFL, quite frankly, any sport, usually LeBron James can't stand them. Aaron judge, do not like them. So I, that's not like a big thing with me just because a guy's good means I like them. Usually not for me. I usually like a guy because of who they are, they're like an underdog story. Now, if they're a Houstonian, a little different play for a Houston team and I've always kind of had an admiration for the Vikings because they took a chase on case, to be honest, but I don't think the Vikings are going to make the playoffs. So Vikings, see you later, it's going to start on Sunday. You're going to get your first L and put the next your L on that skull after Sunday. The Steelers. Sorry. Like, I love your Mike Tomlin and maybe Mike Tomlin's going to have another season where he doesn't have a losing record after starting 2 and 0. But I think they've had a soft schedule so far. I don't think they're going to be a playoff team, plus the AFC is loaded. That division is loaded. And then the third one for me is the Chargers. Yes. I like a lot of people think higher of the Chargers than I do. I'll admit that they're playing a little better in the first two weeks. Another soft schedule so far. I don't have the Chargers making the playoffs. So Viking Steelers charges for me. Yeah, I've got, we share some similarities there and that would be expected. The one where unanimous on is the Steelers. I just don't see it with their quarterback play. It's spoiler alert. I think the Bengals and Ravens are going to bounce back to form a little bit and that's going to cost the Steelers a playoff spot. The other two I have Vikings. I agree with you, Jeremy, I don't see it working for Sam Darnold over a full season. I do like their defense, they've got some interesting options at running back. I do really like their backup, who I think is going to take over in tight Chandler. But I just don't see it working with Sam Darnold over a full season. The last one I disagree with you guys, I actually have it as a Seahawks. They want a close game against Denver at home. Not a very good team. Bonix has been terrible. They go on the road to New England. The team was projected to be the worst team of the league. They have to win it over time. I know they're 2-0, but you barely beat the Broncos. You barely beat the Patriots. You're in a division with the 49ers and I think a resurgent Cardinals team. I don't know. I don't see it for the Seahawks. All right. Let's flip it around. Oh, and two teams that will make the playoffs with the numbers. Sure. Okay. 9.5% of all when two teams making the playoffs with a 17 game schedule. So even that with being said, Vegas still has the Bengals and the Ravens. Okay. I believe the Bengals and the Ravens will both make the playoffs. Those to me are the easy two. Like you're talking Ravens, bangles, and then the other teams, your Jags, Broncos, Colts, Panthers, Giants, Titans, Rams. I don't see a third. Honestly. So the easy two is Ravens, bangles. I'm assuming your top two Ravens, but I don't even listen third because I don't think there is one. I did list a third. I do have a third listed because we're picking the top three. I had to list a third. So it's kind of gun to my head. You have to pick a third, I went with Jacksonville. I won't Jacksonville and this is different than I would have said before the season. I probably would have went to Colts before the start of the season because I had the Colts making the playoffs. I had the Colts as the final wild card team in the AFC, the Colts have not impressed me. They're running. They're running defense has looked atrocious. I thought, Oh, look at the Texans offense. This is great. Texans offensive rushing attacks. It's a juggernaut. It's a powerhouse. It's a powder keg and then Malik Willis ran all over it. They lost to Malik Willis. They lost to Malik Willis. So I'm out on the Colts. Sorry. I'm in the moment. Maybe. Am I putting way too much value in one game? Maybe. But I can't overlook that. So I'm going to go Jacksonville based on what their schedule has been and how close those games have been. They lost by three at Miami. Very winnable game. Probably should have won it. And then they lost by five against Cleveland. Those were two teams that were playoff teams a year ago. And if I'm trying to pick the best of these awful, awful options, Jacksonville, Denver, Indy, Carolina Giants, Titans, Rams, I'll go with the jags because they lost some close games. There's some solid competition. I'm going to go to the Rams and the only thing that worries me about the Rams is because I believe Stafford still really it's heard about the injuries really bothered me. The fact that Puke is out and now cup the cup is out and their lines been dinged up. I still think the NFC is the is the team the conference to choose because there's just really not legitimate playoff teams after the really kind of cream of the crop that I see. And I think the opportunity will be greater for a team like that to kind of make up some ground and get back in it. So even with the injuries, I'm going to say the Rams because I believe Stafford is still really good. I love McVay. And I think that he's a great coach. And I think they'll find a way to squeak in the NFC angle is a good one. The McVay angle is a good one. The injuries do say it's that's the big negative, but but if anybody can make receivers Sean McVay. Like Cooper Cup. Yes. Cooper Cup was the second rounder. But Puke was what a six rounder. And it was an unbelievable rookie season. So Jordan Whittington's got some juice. Jordan Whittington's got some juice to Marcus Robinson's solid. And look, they saw if Kyron Williams, they have Blake Corham. It was awful. They like they have Colby Parkinson, I mean, I didn't pick the Rams, but I did consider them. Yeah. I think that the fact that all the things that you said are in play and the fact that I mean, you look at a couple of years ago when they had injuries and the guy that was really playing well, Carter, the wide receiver for the Bears when the Rams got him. They were in desperate situation. No one really was given that guy a job. And he had a really good year for the Rams in that system. I think that they're going to find a way to squeak into the last playoff spot. If I had to pick simply because of all that in the fact that the end of season week, gun to your head, Brian, you got to pick a third, man. It's tough because there's really there's only two options and it's the two options you guys presented because you look at the other O and two teams, it's, I mean, it's the Panthers. There's no way in hell. It's the Giants. There's no way in hell. I mean, after that, I mean, we all agree in bingles and Ravens there and then you look, you look at the Titans with Will Levis, the way the Colts have played the Broncos with bownecks. I hate all of them. So gun to my head between the Jaguars or Rams, I guess I'll take the healthier team. So I'll go Jaguars. I wouldn't pick either, but a gun to my head, I would take the team actually has players to put on the field. Now the AFC, the final like couple of wild card spots have probably taken a hit over the last couple of weeks because I think it's going to be a little easier to make it now because I think Miami's toast, the Jets aren't nearly as locked to make the playoffs as we thought. Baltimore and since the R, O and two, Cleveland, like they're one in one. Do they ever get it going? Every team in the AFC South, besides the Texans have not won a game. And then, you know, is there going to be the runaway team in the AFC West with Kansas City? So perhaps that seventh spot in the AFC isn't going to take 10 wins like we thought. Maybe it takes nine. So it's a little bit more attainable than we thought the problem is falling apart. We've mixed things on the flip side. The problem is there's two teams that you expected to be either competing for or winning a division and really having a solid playoff spot now be now would be reversal on the fact that they might be fighting and scratching to get into the playoffs since that Ian and Baltimore. Yeah, it could be. Although like we kind of expected that division to already have two playoff teams now because one of those two teams that almost everybody's picks at the start of the year was going to win the division. Yeah, but if we all think if we all think the Steelers are missing, yes. So now that division is still getting two playoff teams, so really doesn't change the map. And I don't believe in Cleveland. Right. So I mean, it isn't really changed the math for, let's say in this, in this scenario where one can see, you're right. One conceivably can still win that division. It's just the fact that the other one might be scratching and clawing as opposed to looking like they're going to, they're going to solidify one pretty quick. Oh, Joe. Am I the only one excited to see Tyler Huntley pro bowler Tyler Huntley in that Dolphins offense? Oh, Joe. Yes. Yes, you're the only one there. Oh, Joe. Seattle, Minnesota as the teams that will, the two and O teams that will miss. Okay. 5 7 9 8. I'll say Seattle Pittsburgh missed the playoffs Baltimore and Cincinnati make it a one to a space city kev. Oh, and two teams will make the playoffs the Bengals, the Ravens, two and O teams that will miss the playoffs, dealers, Vikings, everybody's kind of, you know, kind of similar on this. And then triple zero to O two bangles. Make the playoffs. The two and O steelers not make the playoffs. And then he says, you guys suck too. All right. 7 1 3 7 8 0 3 7 7 6. Cash them or trash them. What do you cash in? What do you trash in? That's next with the bees on ESPN 97 5 and ESPN 92 5. Hey, before we go to the break, a word from a good friend, doc Linville doc Linville best in the business at the neo graph procedure and PRP treatments. You've heard of PRP treatments before athletes use them all the time when it comes to rejuvenating their joints in their shoulders and their knees and their elbows. Now you can do it with hair too. And basically it's like fertilizer to your lawn. You still have some hair on your head, but the hair isn't as thick and strong as it used to be. You do the PRP treatments, suddenly that hair gets thicker, stronger, longer, and you see better results and you are a happier camper. They also do the neo graph procedure with doc Linville and he's right here in the medical center. The neo graph is a game changer. As he explained it to me when I had a consultation with him, it's taking hair from places on your head where you're never going to lose it. And genetically I found out you never lose the hair on the sides in the back of your head no matter how bald you go in other areas. So therefore he repurposes some of it like replanting sod, putting it where you needed it most and suddenly you see results and the same thing, you're taking it from a place that's never leaving. So now you're putting it in a place where you need it most and it's going to be needed to stay and it will. It's with you for the long haul and you get excited and happy about your hair again. You get that same free consultation as I got. If you go to 975hair.com right now, go to 975hair.com, sign up for a free consultation. You get to get all the information I got. You get it free like I did simply because you listen to us. Everybody off the street trying to sign up for this pays $150. You do not and you don't pay anything out of pocket, sign on the dotted line or make any kind of commitments. You just ask questions, get answers, figure it out to see if you want to go forward with the Neograft PRP or both. I did both, could not be happier with all the results that I got. You could be next in line. Check him out today and tell him I sent you by, go to 975hair.com. It's Casham, that is so good, but that's exactly right. Or Trasham. This is your hot day. Hmm, seems like an over action. With a killer bee, give us a hot spoonful of your opinion. Casham or Trasham with the bees, 713-780-3776, what do you cash in, what do you trash in, blinkers? Do the honor please. Man, I got a couple of fighting with and I'm sure you guys are going to go a couple rounds then. Both of them suck. So, Daniel Jones is the next quarterback bench in the NFL. Daniel Jones? Yup. Is that what I said Jacoby Brissette at the start of the year and Jacoby Brissette has actually gotten a win and looked better than I thought. I'm going to trash this. They're going to venture for Tommy DeVito? It'd be true. No, no, no. What's his name? I know, but I just like saying Tommy DeVito. Yeah. What would you say, Brian? Drew Locke. Yeah, Drew Locke, yeah. I think Drew Locke's going to be the next quarter. That's the next two weeks. I don't, I'll trash this. Daniel Jones was okay in the game against the commanders. I mean, he's facing Washington. I think everyone knew. We've seen Washington's defense. We knew that was coming. You're not going to bench him after an okay performance. No, yeah. I don't think he's going to be bench this week. I agree with Daniel Jones put up some fantasy numbers this week too, by the way. Daniel Jones was on the top quarterback on someone by baseball teams this week. I don't think Daniel, I'll trash him. I don't think Daniel Jones is going to get bench any time soon. I'm going to trash. I should say. I think they're good. They got $140 million to fast it up and they're going to go, I think, to what, mid to kind of week 10-ish. I think they go the whole year. Well, I disagree there. I think they could go somewhere between week six to week ten. So I don't think it's going to be him. Honestly, I think it could end up being, I mean, this might be kind of a cheat answer, but I think it could be in Pittsburgh with Russell Wilson coming back to play. They do know though. I don't know if they replace Justin Fields when they're two and oh, but I do think Russell Wilson sees the fields before Daniel Jones leaves it. I think that would be, I think he could be forced back in and I think that'd be a mistake. I can't see Tomlin if they got wins and they keep winning, I can't see Tomlin taking fields out. Yeah, I don't, I don't think so either. I think maybe after like back-to-back losses, I think we can see it, but maybe that's next. Maybe that's the next one. Hot take. I think Bonix could get better. Mm. Peyton loves him. He loves him, but he also knows that there's so much pressure on him because since he's been there and supposed to be the savior, he hasn't done what he said he's going to do that maybe he's a little more panicked about wins right now. I just, I don't think his job security's fine. I don't think that you can start a rookie at the beginning of the year and they're like, okay, we're benching you in week five. Yeah, pick 12. Yeah, I don't, I don't, I, I couldn't see him getting bitched. I'm going to go with Andy Dalton. Yeah, I, I just that thought crossed my mind. Yeah. I don't know how quickly they go back to Bryce. I think it's not in the next, I was, I was, I was kidding. Um, I, I like the answer with Phillips, you know, they lose back-to-back game. Russell Wilson's 100% go with him. Um, I think they have coming up. I mean, if they hit, if they hit, like you said, they had like a two game losing streak. The momentum for Phillips to keep that job, job quickly, it'd be a race. I still think Percet's probably the answer though. I mean, he could lose two more games, not look good. Drake May's ready. Here you go. Because I think they're more concerned about playing their young guys and building that team than they are. Hey, we think we have an outside playoff shot. I think they're realistic there. Steelers, charges at home, Colts on the road, the next two games. All right. My cash on my trash. Um, the Sonic breakfast burrito, Sonic breakfast burrito is better than the Waterburger Ticquito. I know that is a hot tank, but it's an accurate take. I don't do the fast food breakfast. So I'm probably not the right guy to end. All right. I'll, I'll go ahead and jump in and trash. Six bucks. Uh, it was the, uh, it wasn't. I don't eat fast food. I don't eat fast food. Wait. It's not that. I eat fast food. I don't eat fast food. I don't eat fast food. Is there anything at Sonic other than like the drinks and maybe some of the like snack stuff that is just not incredibly mid. Like everything at the breakfast burrito. No, it's not that good. The breakfast burrito is good. I can't believe you of all people who have called people Green goes on this, on this show for their, their takes on what would be considered maybe Tex-Mex fare. What is it? It was Tex-Mex. Chill out. Wait, it's a burrito. I didn't say no. So cool. Too fast. Brian. I know that's why. That's why it criticizes it because they call it a burrito and it has absolutely no flavor. It is the better. It is the superior fast food. It is the better. It is the superior fast food burrito. Now, if you want to say the water burger tequila is overrated, I'm with you, but what Sonic puts out is not any better. What's in the sauce? It's the same stuff. Yeah. Sausage egg cheese. Or sausage if you prefer that. Or bacon. You go in like the ultimate burrito and go like the little bit of cheesy sauce and then all the meats and then some of the tots because their tots are pretty popular. Are they not? Yeah. The tots are great. Their mozzarella sticks go hard. Yeah. Again. Snack stuff and treats. That's what Sonic's good at. Definitely. I do think that all of their stuff is super mid. But I wouldn't go to Sonic for any of their sandwiches. Yeah. Exactly. That's my point. No doubt about it. No doubt about it. I definitely would not. Their sandwiches are the places that are just like I would never go to Sonic for a sandwich. Their drinks are elite. Yeah. What's your go to? For drinks? Well, I'm incredibly basic. There's usually just a Coke's here. I'm very, very basic. Their drinks are elite. I get a Coke zero. The cherry, the cherry lemonade. I go, you know, I'm basically. Oh, cherry limeade. You show that you're Sonic casual by saying lemonade. I am. I can't say the last time I went to a song. I like the cherry limeade when it's a really hot day outside and I'm looking for a drink that makes me feel good. All right. What's your cash from a trash from Brian? That's a weird way to phrase that. My cash in a trash shit is I'm obviously I was already high on the Texans coming to the season. I had them at 11 wins, which I think was tied for the most of what we all picked here at the station. I move that up. I think they're winning 12 games right now and I'll go beyond that. Not only they win in 12 games, but I think they win this division so easily that it's over before it gets to December. I think they win this division by six games, six games, six games. I think they win 12. No one else in the division gets past six. Wow. I'm trashing that. I don't believe in these other teams. They all start off. I don't think I'm crashing that for that simple statement right there. I think one of the other teams in the division is going to win. If we're saying Jacksonville might make the playoffs, I think Jacksonville will win more than six games. They have to play each other. I know. So they're not going to be able to beat each other in a seven wins though. I think Jacksonville is going to win at least seven games. Who? They're going to win off than me then. I would say you're instantly out, but you're talking about one game. I don't think that they're going to win it by six games. I think they're going to win the division. I think it's easy to say that when they're all three other teams are 0 and 2, but to win it by six games, I think that's too much. This is a good one. Write that down. Let's see how that tracks out. I'll trash it. I think there's by default. There's going to be a team that gets the seven or eight wins. I still don't see the Texans getting to 12 either. I think I have them a little bit now. So the grind that the finish that schedule with the limited amount of days between the games and everything like that, I just think it's going to catch up to them, but I love where your head's at. And I hope it happens. I just don't see it. You want to go to your second one or you want to get to the textures? Go ahead. Good. Cashier. We'll do rat and fire here. Kansas City will have a better rush attack now than before. Oh, with their new trash, the check goes her trash, when you get to tell me that the rebirth and the reuniting of they just signed Kareem Hunt to the practice. Yeah, it looks like there'll be some magic p-rine taking over. Well, then Carson, the animal still, yeah, Carson still on hand, they back from UCLA. I think he was he was at like a lower level college and then transferred to UCLA for a year. Cashier trash after energy's roof is fixed. They will seal it shut, never have an open roof game again. Catch that. I'll trash it. Ever trash it. Yeah, I mean, well, even with Bill O'Brien. Gone. They still believe that it's so much louder and better with the roof closed unless it's just like some crisp December afternoon or something or evening. I just I think that they're frugal about it. It's terrible. Frugal about it. I'll trash it just because we're going to have more hurricanes that force them to. That's a good point. No, I think that the new like marketing team and like Hannah and the R and all those people, they listen to the fans. They listen to fans. They do, but they're also going to listen to the football team and what we'll do with the football team. Amiko cares that the roof is open and closed. I think I think they will have it open again. I think what happened the other night was what I always wanted. If you practice in these conditions and you force teams from up north and off the east coast to come into your your backyard and it's hot, I think it's a massive advantage for your team that they should use more. I mean, the reaction online to the roof being open Sunday night was extremely positive to Jeremy's point. I think Hannah and Cal see that and I'm not saying it's going to be open for every home games or even half, but like once in a year, so the chances that it being one is probably more that that would be more than more of a cash, but it's not going to be great freak. I think it's my game. That's why it's difficult. Nevermind. Eric, the driver, Dalton, when his first start in the Panthers offense will actually be watchable. Trash that trash. They're off their entire team is terrible. Oh, Joe, I'm cashing the reemergence of legendary Mr. Andrew Gregory Dalton who lead the Panthers to the playoffs because he's a product of Texas high school football and that's what we do. Trash. Trash. Plenty of ladies. Branham cash a trash. Bill O'Brien will be fired in his second year at Boston College after reports come about him roughing up his players. Trash that trash. Bill Brian's actually doing a really good job at Boston. I was thinking the other day if he wins at Boston College, do you think he stays there forever? Nope. Well, you know, he's got that X factor, Brian. With his kid, his kid in the medical attention and in that in that in that in the Boston College, there's more than two and two in the American, though, I mean, I think he could go to L.A. City's have have a top. He's going to go to USC. UCLA chargers. Rams. Sure. UCLA is a possibility. I don't know. I think I just throw it away. I can't ignore it. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not sure. I can't ignore it. I can't ignore it. I can't ignore it. I can't ignore it. I can't ignore it. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I can't ignore it. I can't ignore it. I can't ignore it. I kind of get the sense that the little Brian just going to stay there for like 15 years. I kind of get the sense he likes the area. He was there with the Patriots. He knows everything. I think he's going to get comfortable instead. I don't think he's going to get an NFL job again. And I don't think he's going to get a powerhouse college football job. He might get an offer. I don't have a powerhouse. He might get an SEC school or someone to come knock in or a big tent school. But I don't think he takes it. There should be no divisional games. Week one. Cash a trash. Trash that. Why? It's on each every team. If you know you got a divisional game in week one and means more to you, then we'll then practice harder. Play your players more. That'll answer what he means. I think he just likes the difference of not seeing the same matchups over and over again. Oh, cash. Yeah, that's fine. Cash a trash price showing succeeding for another team. Cash it. Succeeding is a difficult word though. I think he's going to start for another team at some point and he's going to have a better opportunity to succeed. I'll trash it. Cash a trash Nico will have more receiving yards and touchdowns than Justin Jefferson by the end of the year. I'm going to cash it. Trash. Ocho says you can't trust people who don't eat breakfast. Cash a trash Michael Jackson is still bigger. It's still the bigger Mike over Jordan or Tyson. I don't know that he ever was. Trash. I'm going to crash. I think Michael Jackson is a bigger star than Michael Jordan. I just and Michael Dyson. I did. Michael Tyson. That's weird. I mean music huge like over the entire globe. Michael Jordan still a global icon. Oh for Michael Jackson. The Jordan brand. I think it's great music. I would definitely put Jackson over Mike Tyson. Yeah. Yeah. I think both of them. I would agree with that. But but not George. I think Jordan right now is still on everybody is topical because everybody's all over the brand Jordan. Let's get paint in real quick 7137803776. Here's your cash a trash man. Hey, you doing all right. You okay? Today. Oh, yeah. He didn't have the juice that he normally had. No, he's also late. You didn't have the juice. He actually called it earlier, but I was about to give my take so I couldn't do. He's mad at mine at multiple times. That's what it is. But I'm here. Goodbye. I knew something was up. I sit down a little off then sent it off. Yeah. I was so taken aback by his tone in his demeanor. I don't even know what he says. We have an. We get that side of Brian sometimes too. We're sorry. He's big lead to me. He gave him the cold shoulder. What did he say? I was I was so caught up. The spear is going to uplift the UFC championships when it goes to Vegas. Oh, that was pretty cool. Sphere is a very cool venue. That was pretty cool. I know why I was talking about how it's like a one off thing. Oh, I don't follow UFC enough to have it. He said that they have a deal with MGM and it's a one off thing. Sphere is an MGM thing? No. Oh, oh, so they can't keep going to the sphere. Yeah, he says they have a deal with MGM. They let him out of his contract for one night. I think it's had something to do with a canelo fight being that night too, and that he feels like it's a one off. But he said never say never. He said never. And he also said MGM screws them, so never, never with. This is this is the mantra for leaders, great leaders, great CEOs, Dana White saying never say never. Never. Never quit. We should we should get some sort of like just play that over and over. Just go to bed at night. Never. Never quit. Let's go. Bad dreams. You go to sleep hearing that over and over again. Great dream. Sounds like a great time. Who's on hold, Brian? Troy. All right. Let's go back out to the HRP listener line. Trash them or trash them. Four Huskers make it to the playoffs next two years. Okay, next two years. I said this the other day that it's not going to be this year, but it's going to be soon. I could see them getting into it next year. So I'll trash it because I don't see it this year. He said next. He said within the next two. Troy said in the next two years. Yeah. Not within the next two years. That's what he said. Yeah. It means he's going to do it. It means they're going to do it this year. And next year. No, this year or next year. Inside the next two years. Oh, well, then I'll cash it. He's in Nebraska, right? He did. Yeah, I would catch the car like 22nd in the country. What does the rest of their schedule look like this year next year? There's going to be recruits in the offices that want to play with him. They have to go. They have to go to Ohio State and USC this year. Yeah. I don't see it this year, but I see it next year. Can they get in? No. If they lose one of if they go one in one of those two games and run like run the rest of their schedule, can they get in with that? I think they could get in. I think you're getting. I don't think they can get in with two. If they win the head to head with the losses, too. I don't think so. If they lose at Ohio State and at USC, I don't think they're getting in. I agree. Not this year. I think they could be the USC, but I don't see it happening. If they did, I think they could be the second big 10. I think it's in play. I would say it's probably like 30, 25, 30% chance this year. I think it's I like Matt, who was the college coach? I'm going to cash this one. Yeah. I'm not cash this one for next year. I think there's going to be recruits and transfers that want to play with rail. Who wouldn't want to play with Pat Mahomes? In college. Great value. Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. Nick with no salary cap. Nick Siriani will get fired before the end of the season. Uh, rational. Yeah. I'm going to trash. I'm going to trash you. After this season, those in play, if they're if they have a nice question at the end of the year, if they go nine and eight and are ousted in the wild. I would cart around. I think he's fired. I think they either have a long run with that and they don't have to win the Super Bowl, but they have to they have to get deep into the playoff where they're done. Do you think Bill Belichick can be the next coach there? Yes, I do. That'd be so much fun. I really do. I want him in the NFL again. Although I think he's kind of having fun doing what he's doing. I don't care about his. I don't care about mine. I know. No, look, I but I like to see a different side of Belichick where he's actually entertaining. Yeah, that's debatable. I think he brings a lot to the table because he keeps the combination of what he knows and how he explains it. But then also the fact that he has some personality, Mike McCarthy, we had fired before the end of the season. I'll catch that. Really? Yeah, I think the cowboy. I've never been a fan of his and I think the Cowboys are going to have more hiccups than they are. How many losses get him fired though? I mean, Jerry said this is basically do or die for him anyway. And if they're not if they're teeter in on making the playoffs or they're underachieving, I think at the end of the year, he might just say, screw it for wait until off season he's going. Yeah, I don't think it'll be in season. Yeah, the question that was in season though, because if they're teetering, they're a couple of games like towards the end of the season, I think Jerry Jones will fire. Is Bill Belichick going to be the coach at every NFC East team next year? Like the one that's the least likely is the commanders. Yeah, it won't be the commander's coach. Like that's weird though. Like all the four NFC East teams, the one that has the less odds to employ Bill Belichick is their head coach next year is Washington. The Giants could be in play. The Eagles could be in play. The Cowboys could be in play. Yeah, I think and I think the two best teams are going to be the ones that really, I think they will survive and they're going to let him have a chance for somebody else because he's a really good offensive mind. But I think that the two best teams with talent could be the two teams talking about Bill Bell. All right. Last one here. Archmanding takes over as a starting quarterback in Texas this year. No, I can't see it this year. Not this year. I mean yours. I haven't seen the odds this year or this week for the Heisman, but he was the betting favorite to win the Heisman last week. Exactly. I'm on the board now because an injury and arched manning is all the way up and I think an eight. Is he really? Yeah, he's all he's way up there. I believe it's number eight or in Quinn's off the board. I just hate the conversation though because you're one week removed from winning at the big house where Quinn is the favorite to win the Heisman and you get hurt and now you go from a favorite to win the Heisman to losing your job. Yeah. I get that as the name says manning on the back of his jersey, but man, that's so overreaction. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. All right. Texans last week. How many are better teams right now 7, 1, 3, 7, 8, 0, 3, 7, 7, 6? It's the B's on ESPN 97 5 and ESPN 92 5. Hey, before we go to the bank break, look, we know it's hot. It's baking outside.
