Jackson Hawes

Yeah, and this team is built.

to give him help on the offensive line, right? Because you do have a guy like Jackson Hawes.

You know, you see, oh, this guy's

the third string tight end.

Yes.

Per NFL rules,

Jackson Hawes can catch a pass.

Because, like, Dalton Kincaid is known as a pass-catching tight end.

I remember last year.

Hell, you guys beat us on my birthday two years ago on a last-second field goal.

So I have rough memories of in-Houston games, so hopefully we can put one together today.

But I am very cautiously realistic about this game.

We're correcting that a little bit.

But I think run defense is going to be the biggest weakness for us.

And if you're going to find a way to beat the Bills this year – Similar to how you guys beat them last year, it's going to be leaning on the run game and leaning on the defense and taking the ball out of your quarterback's hands.

This year it's going to be C.J. Stroud instead of Davis Mills, but I think that the same game plan is what probably would go into it this time as opposed to try to seal the victory for the Texans.

And I feel like the bills are going to try to establish the run game.

And then if that's not working, it's, it has to be, you bring in a six offensive lineman for the run game, or you have a, you know, Jackson Hawes lined up in the backfield for pass protection, you know, because they don't have a fullback.

So if you have Jackson Hawes back there, who's the team's best blocker, right? You put, you put him back there.

I don't know.

Like you said, it's, it's not going to be what we think, right? We want to say, Oh, we want to see DJ more go eight for one 20 and a touchdown.

In a tight end room that gives Joe Brady all kinds of different ways to structure this offense, especially deciding how many they kept in this room.

We'll see how many they dress as well with Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, Jackson Hawes, and Kaliki Latu.

You've already heard Josh Allen talk about the versatility that can blur between the line between 12 personnel and 21 personnel.

But then there's the offensive line.

They have four tight ends.

How do you think Joe Brady might tweak the run game, and do they just utilize a tight end as a pseudo-fullback now in Jackson Hawes? What kind of tweaks could you anticipate? That's a really great

question because, you know, one of the staples last year, as you guys know, was that gap scheme concept where they bring Haas across the formation as the kickout blocker.

And then Gilliam would be the rapper in the gap scheme, you know, would basically be counter.

I mean, a lot of guys

will give you an answer to someone said Shaq Thompson said Jackson Hawes.

Yeah.

And that was a bit surprising because admittedly, I kind of thought he would stick with somebody on defense.

This guy is really, really good.

And over the years it's been, you know, a lot of different answers and a lot of, but sometimes it surprises me.

Like when Shaq Thompson said Jackson Hawes, I was like, wow, that's like a little random.

So that's why I like to ask it to people.
