  • Clint and who?

    The show is not interesting I not have a itch that won’t go away. Clint doesn’t even like our basic milk in Texas because he’s a Coleman kid. You would think that our Borden milk would be enough.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Full Show - Thursday, October 1st
Q: What does Nick Caley mean when he talks about being aggressive and staying on schedule?
He frames aggression as controlled, physical play and yards after contact, but also emphasizes sticking to a plan and playing on schedule rather than chasing explosive plays.
HR 2 – Texans OC Nick Caley LIVE from the Podium Ahead of Week 3 vs Colts! + T-Mil's TURDS of the Week!
Q: What was the thinking behind the decision to go for the 58-yard field goal instead of a fourth-and-inches play?
The coaches and players believed in the rhythm and confidence they had in that moment, and they prepared calls for those moments to be ready to execute if chosen by the head coach.
HR 2 – Texans OC Nick Caley LIVE from the Podium Ahead of Week 3 vs Colts! + T-Mil's TURDS of the Week!
Q: How much did the usage of 11 personnel relate to forcing opponent defenses into certain packages and trying to open up the passing game?
Caley notes that openness to 11 personnel was part of trying to establish a drop-back rhythm and progression reads, with a focus on distributing the ball and increasing comfort with CJ in the pocket.
HR 2 – Texans OC Nick Caley LIVE from the Podium Ahead of Week 3 vs Colts! + T-Mil's TURDS of the Week!
Q: When it comes to the tight ends, how do you take that wish and make it a reality in the games in terms of situational football?
Caley explains they have a weekly plan for each player, with usage driven by in-game rhythm and the game's flow; different games require different distributions, and all tight ends have defined roles that can shift week to week.
