Stan Norfleet and Chris Gordy of Next Up discuss the Texans week 9 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Dameon Pierce is out, will there be difficulty in the run game? Are we scared to see CJ Stroud throw more? How will the defense hold off the offensive weapon that is Mike Evans? Stan and Chris also talk about former Astros manager Dusty Baker's comments on why he retired and Astros GM Dana Brown's offseason priorities. Pro Football Hall of Famer and 3x Super Bowl Champion Emmitt Smith joins the show to talk about the Dallas Cowboys and their chances of winning a Super Bowl, saying "we could catch lightning in the bottle at some point in time." Smith also comments on the Texans, saying "its going to take some more quality players coming in" to support CJ Stroud.
