Pleased with the overall win today?

Listen, anytime you can go on the road, go to Nashville, and beat up on that poverty franchise of the Tennessee Titans, then it's a beautiful day.

It is no secret that I don't like them.

We don't like them.

They don't like us.

And we talked about it last week that the Texans were going to beat up on the Titans.

I know Michael Hickman was kind of he wasn't sure about it.

Wade, your instant reaction to the Texans landing a big-name wide receiver who's not done a lot yet in the league? Listen,

Wade, what were your thoughts today?

The Texans lost to the Dallas Cowboys at home.

0-3 going into the ballgame.

And you lose to the Dallas Cowboys at home.

Arian Foster was in the building.

New Hopkins was in the building.

Bonta Leach a lot of guys was in that that building and offensively we we we took on some of that juju that good juju.

In your opinion, what's more important, D'Amico calling plays again or getting a safety back there that has been with this franchise for the last couple of years and knows all of the assignments?

absolutely

love it um and just i don't know there's no other form of fishing that gets me so excited oh i love fishing oh yeah yeah big reds barramundi they're all cool but an aerial spanish bite is just you're often too excited about what you just saw to set the hook.

You forget to strike.

And, yeah, I love it.

I think Lukey loves it too.

He's...

I have to fight him.

you just cannot

It's just, it's a pathetic operation.

That's it.

yeah i'm gonna co-sign the the whole idea of the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting to get different results when last week you saw what happened on fourth and one and i'm talking about missed opportunities in this ball game it's like a a recurring theme in my head when I think about how this game went and how it ended missed opportunities when you you're early in the game you got a fourth and one situation D'Amico is going to give you a shot in the arm confidence of hey we're going to go for it on its fourth and one when you could have took a three-point lead instead of doing that hey I'm going to put put the I'm going to put it on your shoulders oh line and up front and let's get this yard and your offensive coordinator calls the exact same play that you got stuffed on last week.

Something that you have shown that you do not do well.

You have shown that you do not do well.

Why would you put yourself in that position? It's like, if I got, I don't know if I got, I got Joe Flacco.

I don't even want to say Joe Flacco.

keep it together?

my bad.

Yeah, I'm talking about the first one where Dexter Lawrence gets the tackle for loss.

You run the ball.

You had an opportunity to double Dexter Lawrence if you run the ball at him.

Instead, you run the ball away from him.

And if you're going to run the ball away from him, you still can double him.

A block on the backside, but the center leaves.

I thought the Texans' offense...

I mean, just that is a – for the way that the last season ended or a game to end this way in week one, not exactly what you would write for the season opener, correct? Correct.

No, I mean, C.J. Stroud, you know, this is a make it or break it year per se for him as far as him getting the max, max deal that could potentially be on the table.

And he was unable to to control the things that he can mainly control, which is protecting the football issue that he had last year at the end of the season, which you mentioned.

But you got to protect that football.

He had two fumbles today.

Besides that, I thought CJ played well, but this game went nothing like I expected it to go when I thought to myself, all right, you're playing the Bills at home.

You know, you have On paper, the best defense in the league, everybody's fresh, everybody's healthy, ready to go.

Yeah, they were

But there were a few things there, but most notably the things that I highlighted.

Yeah, I mean, I'm going to be honest with you.

There's not a lot you can take out of a third preseason game.

When you're talking about a team that's projected to compete for a Super Bowl, you're talking about guys that are, you know, the second and third team guys, basically like the 47 through the 53 guys on the roster.

Of course, the practice squads, those are the guys that, you know, but I did like to see Hill.

make plays, him getting opportunities to play and him taking advantage of it.

He's a guy that if it comes down to it, you know, you want to see that guy make those plays in the preseason when he gets opportunities, because if he gets into a lot of situation, if there's, you know, something happens with the guys in front of him, he's not going to be, you know, just completely out of out of out of his depth.

Sometimes you can tell, oh, this guy can't help us this year.

Yep.

Um, and for, for us now, w- we'll get a glass out weekend.

We'll go out, catch our fish.

We will spend the rest of the fuel allowance we've got left in the boat driving around, deliberately searching for that new mark.

Trying to, trying to have ourselves set up for the next patch of good weather.

There've been few and far between lately.

[laughs] Um, but just, uh, i- instead of just going, catching a fish, "That's it.

Yeah.

Talk about the line.

I, I think the line, line that they went with, it's a combination of the two lines of the two weeks.

I think it'll be, uh, the left tackle will be Ursery, of course.

I think Teller will be a left guard.

I think Rutledge will be a center.

I think Ingram will be a right guard, and I think that Trent Brown's gonna be a right tackle, and that's the combination of the two.

Um, I s- I saw some good things today out of Rutledge at left guard.

Because the field of dreamers

So plenty of coaching tape for D'Amico Ryans to go back to the fellas.

Yeah, I tell you what, man.

I like what I saw out of the first-team offensive line.

I like the fact that Keelan Rutledge got his opportunity to start at center and get those meaningful snaps in an NFL game.

It's his first time being an NFL player, and you're a starter.

And he went out there and did well for himself.

I thought that Davis Mills had plenty of time at quarterback to throw the ball.

and of course i think

What is it? Why did we start it? And really, who does it exist for? Wade, I think this is best for you, but we can have various people chime in.

Yeah, I can definitely kick it off.

So just to give you a little bit of history on domainnames.com and how the platform came to be.

A few years ago, we started thinking that it would be a good idea to have a showcase of some of the most valuable domain assets available on the internet for two reasons.

For number one, a lot of potential buyers or high-fit companies that might want to actually utilize these names might not know that they're available or they might not have checked or they might not have gone to the lander and seen that it was available or done any research on it.

Or somebody was looking to start a new brand and they needed ideas for names to have a place where they'd be able to go and search through some of the best inventory that's available that they could name around.

And then for sellers to be able to have that platform as well.

Can you tell us a little bit about why? Why did we do that redesign and what things does it have to offer people now?

Just your thoughts in general on some of the things going on around the Houston Texans offensive line.

Well, I think, first of all, You have to give credit with the job that the offensive line was able to do this year, their improvement of the way they were last year and the year before that and what they were able to put out there performance-wise this year.

They definitely improved.

So you got to give credit to Cole Popovich and my guy, Yesner, who's gone now.

He left to go to Miami.

But they did a good job with the offensive line.

And so now you're in a position where you're trying to figure out how you're going to configure things going forward.

Yet, would it have been better to stay in one spot? What do you think?

It will also be the Premier League's first full season of semi-automated offside technology after its introduction in April.

I think the fundamentals of decision-making are still there.

I'm Wade Smith I'm a Premier League assistant referee and have been for the previous five years so what we have to do as assistant referees on the pitch is not change what we do because you've always got to imagine that's that's not there because I tell you what there's nothing better than when you've made a really tight decision and the VAR using the semi-automated technology confirms that that decision is right it'd be a disaster if we were driving away from a game and knowing that we'd cost the team what would have been a genuine goal because we've either put our flag up or not put our flag up when we should have.

Do you think people appreciate... how unnatural some of the things that you do are.

Initially, when you start doing those movements, it takes its toll on the legs, but I think it's about training your body to do those movements and for them to come naturally so that you can then focus on decision-making, which is what we're there to do.

so our skill set is more about making offside decisions which involves looking at an attacker or judging an attacker against a defender against or using then the ball which we potentially can't see which we're listing out for so that skill set is much different than a referee trying to get into the best position to see a foul who's looking at just two players.

... where you'll be, where you'll be talking to the stadium and telling them about your decisions?

I, I had live experience in an FA Cup game last year, so, uh, we were trialing it from, I think fifth round, so Brighton, uh, Nottingham Forest.

I gave a penalty from my, from my position, it looked a clear penalty.

And really good work from Andy Madeley as VAR to, to show actually it wasn't a foul.

So then you're preparing yourself, you go to the screen, you're taking a little bit longer at the screen because you're thinking about what you say.

But I think once you know you then got to do it, you, you want to come across clear, give the relevant information, and once you're in the moment, it's fine.

I think it's something we've probably being a little bit apprehensive about because this wasn't in the, in the script when we took up refereeing-

It will also be the Premier League's first full season of semi-automated offside technology after its introduction in April.
