00:00As I said, man, I think that you have a quarterback in C.J. Stroud
00:06that has the opportunity to be an elite quarterback,
00:14that has shown to be an elite quarterback,
00:17and has shown that with not the best hand to be dealt with.
00:23And he's doing it and done it all season long thus far.
00:27And yesterday, yes, against the sorry-ass Chargers, he went off.
00:31But he's been going off like that all game long.
00:34And the Chargers' defense hasn't been that bad.
00:39Like the Chargers' defense gave Patrick Mahomes some problems.
00:42The Chargers' defense gave Josh Allen some problems this year.
00:46They've played some of the better quarterbacks.
00:47Nobody has done their asses in the way C.J. did yesterday.
00:50Yeah, real quick, the Chargers' eighth, entering that game yesterday,
00:54were eighth in the league defensively in pass defense, according to EPA.
01:00So eighth-best pass defense entering action yesterday, and Stroud did that.
01:04Now the grain of salt will come in coming weeks on, well,
01:08does this Chargers' team have any fight left?
01:10That would be my big question.
01:12But no, based off of what we've seen through the first two months of the season,
01:15statistically, that's actually been a top-10 pass defense that Stroud put up
01:18nearly 400 yards against yesterday and played so well.
01:22Yeah, no, man, he's – yeah, they were better.
01:25Again, like I think they let go of the rope a little bit.
01:27I mean, your team goes 30 straight drives without scoring a touchdown.
01:30That is unbelievable.
01:3137, right?
01:32Is that what it ended up being?
01:33It ended up being 37.
01:3437 drives without a touchdown?
01:36I couldn't imagine.
01:37With Mike Medaniel.
01:39And Justin Herbert.
01:40And Justin Herbert.
01:41And Jim Harbaugh.
01:42Yes.
01:43Like, what in the world?
01:44All right, let's get some calls in before we hear from the head coach.
01:47All right, Wood, where you at, man?
01:48Man, I think C.J. is an elite quarterback that can lead a team to a Super Bowl,
01:53and I think he's playing better than anybody in the AFC.
01:55What's your reaction on this Monday?
01:57I'm going to give you my reaction.
01:59Man, I was so disappointed in losing to the Colts, to the Cowboys, and the Giants.
02:03I was simply pissed off and hot.
02:06But now I watch this team go up there and to San Diego to play the charts.
02:12They in L.A. too.
02:13Granted, they are a team that's winning.
02:16But, man, that's the way we're supposed to play football.
02:19That's my expectations of them every game.
02:22I mean, if the receivers catch the ball and quit dropping Hutchinson,
02:28I mean, truly, you boot it properly.
02:31Let him run a fly.
02:32Let him run a deep cross.
02:33That's what boot is made for, not Hutchinson.
02:36Hutchinson ain't going to drop it.
02:37He's going to drop them balls down there.
02:39Let him run a little short pattern, and he's good for you in the slot.
02:43But use your receivers properly, defense and offensive coordinator.
02:48But if the receivers catch the ball, quit dropping them third down and killing our drives.
02:53Hey, Wood, Wood.
02:53This is what we're capable of.
02:55Wood, real quick.
02:55I just want to remind you, they won.
02:58And they put up 44.
02:59I know we won, but we still got the play kept up now.
03:03Now we got to hope other teams lose just so we can get into the playoffs.
03:08We wouldn't have done all this if we would have been doing football right off the bat,
03:12making the proper adjustments on defense.
03:15Doing what we need to do in the second day.
03:17Not like y'all go off and have a Hall of Fame game.
03:21Not like y'all go right over like he's on a cable.
03:27I mean, that was sick to watch all that.
03:30This is what we're capable of, what we saw last yesterday.
03:34All right.
03:35And if we can bring your home, we got opportunity to make noise in the playoffs.
03:41All right, Wood.
03:42I appreciate it.
03:42Wood had to get that out, didn't he?
03:44They won, though.
03:45Oh, that's you, Figgy, playing that music, Ed?
03:47I thought it was.
03:49I was like, is this a bit that he's using?
03:51You thought Wood had an organ?
03:52Yeah.
03:53I thought he added it.
03:55I was like, is this a usual bit you guys do every Monday with this guy?
03:59Wood had got his help.
04:01Call back, Wood.
04:02We need you.
04:03There you go.
04:04Man.
04:05All right, Clint, I'm going to let you jump in here, not Sterner.
04:07All right, what's your reaction to this before we hear from D'Amico?
04:10Remember, the Texans won.
04:13Hey, hold on.
04:14You calling for Clint?
04:16Yeah, yeah.
04:16Go ahead, Clint.
04:18Okay.
04:18Hey, man, you know, I wanted to hear what that guy said, man,
04:21but it kept breaking up.
04:22I couldn't hear it.
04:24Look, man, I've been a – I was an old Oilers fan.
04:29Season tickets, my grandpa had them.
04:31And it just seems like – I want you guys to explain, man,
04:34why is it that the same thing happens over and over?
04:39I'll tell you the one thing I'm scared of.
04:41I'm scared CJ might not stay with this team because Houston does the same thing
04:47year after year.
04:49I'm 54 years old, man.
04:51I was in Okinawa, Japan, watching this play, the Buffalo Bills.
04:54Who the hell let somebody come back on from 35 to 3 at half?
04:58Now, hold on.
04:59Clint, you've got to let that go.
05:00All right?
05:01That's an entirely different team.
05:03Now, you have got to let that go.
05:06Well, I have let it go.
05:08I still have nightmares every once in a while about it.
05:11But, no, man, CJ Stroud is a – in my opinion, in my opinion,
05:18the best damn quarterback there is out there right now.
05:22And if we don't put somebody around him, man, I know we've got good players,
05:26but we're not doing everything we can, man.
05:29We get a chance to do something.
05:32Look, okay, I'm going to stop it right here.
05:35Casario and I firmly believe, and you can disagree with me,
05:40D'Amico Rice and Burke and all them got to go.
05:43We've got to get new coaching staff in there.
05:46They can't even tackle, bro.
05:49I played football until I couldn't anymore because I wasn't good enough to advance.
05:55Me too.
05:55But, damn, man, I mean, come on, dude.
05:59You can't – you're tackling upstairs.
06:02You're supposed to tackle down around the waist, man.
06:05Whichever way the waist goes, that's which way you –
06:07you know the body's going that way if the waist goes that way.
06:11Houston, it seems like they do the same thing over and over again,
06:15and they don't want to win.
06:17Yeah.
06:18I don't get it, man.
06:19I appreciate the call, Clint.
06:21Yeah, man.
06:22Clint, they won.
06:23Again, the Texans won.
06:24I'm having a weird dream.
06:27I woke up today, and it's October 26th.
06:30They just lost to the Giants.
06:31He's like, what is going on here?
06:32I mean, Clint went back – he went back to Steve Christie and the Bills with the Oilers.
06:39This is just the city of Houston therapy at this point.
06:42But here goes the last text.
06:44The caller is absolutely correct.
06:46Listen, I get it.
06:48They got some things they got problems with, all right?
06:52At some point, we'll talk about the 22 points they gave up
06:56and how Quentin Johnson is just rolling through the middle of the field going all the way.
07:01I thought maybe we was going to have a day where they kind of cured up these explosive plays.
07:07I get it.
07:07But, hey, man.
07:10At this point, I want to talk about the 27 threes.
07:13The Rockets missed in the playoffs, man.
07:17I want to talk about James Harden.
07:20Listen, it's okay.
07:22You know what?
07:23I'm proud of some of y'all because there is some expectations,
07:27and there should be expectations here for this team.
07:30Now, I do believe you have to adjust your expectations on what you thought was going to be the start
07:35of this season
07:35because they are a three-and-five football team and different than what we thought they would be.
07:39But I love it.
07:40I love to hear, like, you're not happy about this.
07:44Yes, they played their – it is – it is.
07:47You're pissed off because you're seeing what you think they should be,
07:53and they're not doing that every week.
07:55And because you know right around the corner, next week against the Browns,
08:00they've got to have a game, they can come out and play completely differently.
08:04See, now y'all – no, no, I'm being positive.
08:06Damn it.
08:06They scored 44 points, and C.J. Stroud is –
08:10he is going to be the AFC player of the week again.
08:13He is out there throwing dimes and going off.
08:16Nope, I'm not going to do it.
08:18But I am proud of y'all.
08:19I do – I love that.
08:20I love that from some of y'all.
08:22Okay, go ahead, man.
08:22Little expectations.
08:24You're done with it.
08:24I don't know about C.J. need to be fired.
08:26I mean, Burke is just – I don't know what Burke's doing anymore.
08:29But, I mean, I don't know about – I mean, D'Amico being fired.
08:32I don't agree with that.
08:34But, like, he's – he gets another year.
08:38Yeah, yeah, I think so.
08:39Or three.
08:40Like, after what he has done here.
08:42Now, maybe there's some adjustments that he needs to make or a style.
08:48Like, to me, I hope he saw what happened in the Jacksonville game
08:51and this game and says, we need to go this way.
