00:03 - Despite all the great performances,
00:04 there's another Houston, Texas wide receiver
00:07 that you think is going to smash today.
00:10 And his name is Robert Woods.
00:11 So why in a crowded grouping
00:13 of some of the names I just dropped there,
00:15 why is Robert Woods the name
00:16 that people should be paying attention to?
00:19 - We're gonna get in the Wayback Machine today, Joe.
00:21 We're gonna get in the Wayback Machine
00:22 and we're going back to vintage Bobby Trees.
00:25 We're gonna see it today, baby.
00:27 And I don't think that people are giving Bobby his flowers.
00:31 You look at the last three games,
00:33 and I bring up only the last three games
00:35 because we need to talk about this offense
00:37 with Tank Dell as a full-time starter.
00:40 Over those last three games, oh, look at that.
00:43 Look who leads the Texans quietly in target share.
00:46 Not Tank Dell, it's not Nico Collins, it's Robert Woods.
00:51 He's also tied for the team lead in red zone targets.
00:54 And if you look at how, where he's playing,
00:56 he's been their slot wide receiver
00:58 since Noah Brown went on the IR.
01:00 Ever since that happened, Bobby Trees has been,
01:03 he's leading this team in red zone targets, Joe.
01:06 And he has the best matchup across the board.
01:09 I wouldn't know part of AJ Terrell,
01:10 who I think shadows Nico Collins,
01:12 much like he did Calvin Ridley.
01:14 I wouldn't know part of Tank Dell,
01:16 who's gonna get Jeffrey Okuda on the other side.
01:17 Maybe he gets some slot reps
01:19 against the next corner I'm gonna talk about.
01:21 Dee Offord is the cornerback you target and you pick on.
01:25 And I think that's what happens today
01:27 for CJ Stroud and Bobby Trees.
01:29 He's gonna run 54% of his routes against Dee Offord,
01:33 who's allowed a 77.3% catch rate,
01:36 125.8 pass rating in his coverage.
01:39 I'm telling you, man,
01:40 Robert Woods is going to have a vintage day.
01:44 Put him down for 100 and a score.
