John HarrisHOST
But we've had some matchups with the Bengals here at Reliant Stadium.
John HarrisHOST
2016, Christmas Eve night, the missed field goal at the end after an Alfred Blue touchdown gave them the lead, with Tom Savage in charge, clinched the AFC South that night.
John HarrisHOST
But I think when you say Bengals v Texans, to most Texans fans, they always remember one game, and that was the very first playoff game in Texans history right here at Reliant Stadium.
John HarrisHOST
The Bengals, after the Texans had beaten them earlier, were coming to town as a wildcard team.
Jeff ProsserHOST
They didn't start him out the gates.
Jeff ProsserHOST
Who was it? Tom Savage? I don't know who started.
Jeff ProsserHOST
Maybe it was one of the veterans.
Jeff ProsserHOST
No, was it? I think Sean was gone, right? That's why they got Deshaun.
21 MINS LATER
Jeff ProsserHOST
He was at the starter.
Jeff ProsserHOST
Oh.
Jeff ProsserHOST
We were trying to remember, was it TJ Yates or Tom Savage or
Denny ThompsonGUEST
one of those, Case Keenum, one of those guys.
Chuck OliverHOST
There will always be exceptions.
Chuck OliverHOST
Heath, do you remember Tom Savage? Quarterback? Yeah, I believe I do.
Chuck OliverHOST
Yeah, and if it's a little hazy, I believe I remember him.
Chuck OliverHOST
Did he go to Rutgers? Okay, that's the one, yes.
Chuck OliverHOST
Okay, did he go to Arizona? He also went to Arizona.
Chuck OliverHOST
Hang on, did he start at Pitt? Yeah, he started two seasons at Pitt.
Chuck OliverHOST
I was just remembering the Rutgers part, and I was trying to think, where in the world are we going now? Tom Savage...
Chuck OliverHOST
Not only started at Rutgers, big recruit too.
Mike BroadbentHOST
This is a great point, Rich, because I think he lives too much in the extremes with his decision making process.
Mike BroadbentHOST
Either he pulls a guy after one bad series, which he would do again with like Brian Hart when Mike Thiel was here with Tom Savage when Chase Dodd was here.
Mike BroadbentHOST
Or like you did with Gavin, he just lets him, you know, he gives him all the rope in the world to see what he can do over the course of a full season.
Mike BroadbentHOST
And that's kind of what he did with Rob Smith last year.
David AndersonGUEST
And the reason I say that is because Greg Shiano made several mistakes earlier in his career that cost them big time.
David AndersonGUEST
If you go back to how he put in Mike Teal before he was ready of replacing Ryan Hart, he did the same thing where he put Chase Dodd in when Tom Savage still had more in the tank, which caused them probably to not have won.
David AndersonGUEST
They probably would have won another game in 2010, 2011.
David AndersonGUEST
Then he takes Dodd out and puts in Gary Nova in a game.
Corey ClarkHOST
And then I think Terrence Brooks intercepts the next pass, and they go down and score again right before half.
Jeff CameronHOST
Tom Savage.
Corey ClarkHOST
There it is.
Ira SchoffelHOST
Yeah.
Mike DempseyHOST
He came in.
Mike DempseyHOST
It was Savage Nation, Tom Savage, that they opted to go with.
Mike DempseyHOST
That's when the Jags, what, in 2017, Tony, opened up with the bludgeoning.
Mike DempseyHOST
But Deshaun Watson came off the bench in that game and quickly led the Texans to a touchdown drive, even though the Jags were beating their brains in at that point in time.
Bobby DerenHOST
Go back to Greg Shannon's first term with Rutgers.
Bobby DerenHOST
You know, he, he benched Tom Savage for a freshman named Chase Todd early in the season.
Bobby DerenHOST
I don't know if he'd be so quick to, to do it as soon as, as he did it then, but that history tells you right there, it's, it's time to produce and, and they're going to feel a little bit of pressure if, if this offense isn't functioning, but, Uh, it, it, uh, at a high level early on.
Bobby DerenHOST
I mean, how, I mean, he said he's going to give him a long leash, but how long do you see that being Kristen?
Kyle BrandtHOST
How about the very next year? Let's go to another one.
Kyle BrandtHOST
Bill O'Brien, a guy we know and love, made it clear that despite having Deshaun Watson on the team, "Tom Savage will be our starter, and the 12th overall pick, Deshaun Watson, will not play the opener." Go ahead.
Bill O'BrienSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Tom's the starter.
Bill O'BrienSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Tom's playing well this camp.
Kyle BrandtHOST
[laughs] Bill O'Brien, who was so committed through the entire training camp, "It's Tom, it's Tom, it's Tom.
Kyle BrandtHOST
I don't care that Deshaun Watson had these crazy college football games that everybody watched a ton.
Kyle BrandtHOST
We're going with Tom Savage." "All right, coach, if you say so." Benched him at halftime.
Kyle BrandtHOST
Halftime.
Brett KollmannHOST
I remember the Bulls on parade.
Brett KollmannHOST
I remember that 2016 team that dragged Brock Osweiler and Tom Savage to the division round.
Brett KollmannHOST
The Texans, more than most other teams, believe it or not, have had some seriously legendary defenses, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.
Brett KollmannHOST
They call it The Swarm.
