Is that what it is? Seventy three? 21 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: Seventy three according to the Google people, seventy three in Houston. 22 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: I cannot remember a day. Look, I've been here for 23 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: all of them. I cannot remember a day where it 24 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: was seventy three degrees at this time of day. And 25 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: we had that storm last night blew in a little 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: cold front. And folks, this is like brigadoon. You got 27 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: to go outside right now and take advantage of this. Yeah, 28 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: if you're at home in lockdown or whatever, just take 29 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: a walk, bring your device with you so you can 30 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: listen to us, and we'll have Jack Easter be in 31 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: just a few moments here and enjoy this weather because 32 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: it is rare. It's a march visit for a few 33 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: hours here in August. I can't even put into words 34 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: what this is like. You know, I always wear sleeves 35 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: because I don't like to wear sunscreen, and I do 36 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: being outside today, I was like, I don't even get roasted. 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: I almost I was driving yesterday to go to the 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: grocery store, and my dashboard things, my dashboard temperature set 39 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and four and I almost took a picture 40 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: of it and went cold Front and Houston one hundred 41 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: and four. Obviously tongue in cheek. When I got in 42 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: the car this morning, I just went, oh, is he 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: gonna stay like this? Then, of course I got worried 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,839 Speaker 1: about the rain, because I'm like, are setup for those 45 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: that obviously can't see us are set up? Over the years, 46 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: we have always had the tent over us, so if 47 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: we did get rain, we at least would keep the 48 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: major rain out. Well, are setup this year? Is Mark 49 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: has the big tent, but I'm down below, so I 50 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: would be getting soaked. I'm going to instagram that out 51 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: in just a few months. Yeah, so and so I 52 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: worried about that. But then I walked out here in 53 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: the rain it stopped and I went wow. I checked 54 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: my phone app it was seventy three degrees. At the time, 55 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: I thought, this is not this is unusual. This is 56 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: green Brower weather. We got our weather wish at least 57 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: one day. At least one day. So my boss, the 58 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: president of the Houston Texans, Jamie Roots, when we were 59 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: at the Greenbrier, you know, he used the semi little 60 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: notes like stop talking about the weather because it was 61 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: so beautiful there, and it was awful in Houston, of course, 62 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: and today it doesn't matter, boss, because it's beautiful in Houston. 63 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: Everybody can enjoy this wonderful day. Overcast guys, Houston Methodist 64 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: Trading Center. Look, it's the third practice that we will cover. 65 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: Johnny's got Harris Hits up on the Texans app and 66 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna get your biggest takeaways from camp so far 67 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: Johnny and John McClain joins us at eight thirty. Bill 68 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: O'Brien's not gonna have his press conference pre practice today 69 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: because they're going a little earlier, So we've got a 70 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: big show. Brandon dunne an interview with him, and you 71 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: gotta stay tuned for the end of that interview. We're 72 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: gonna play that in the nine o'clock hour because he 73 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: starts interviewing me and it's kind of interesting, Oh, you 74 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: left that on there. I left it on there because 75 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: he wanted it on. He was very clear about the 76 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: cameras are still rolling on this right, So we're gonna 77 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: play that for you in the nine. But Jack Easterby, 78 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: we had a chance to visit with the executive vice 79 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: president of football Operations, talking about everything that's gone into 80 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: this camp, all the prep, all the stuff to make 81 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: sure the players are as safe as possible, as healthy 82 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: as possible injury wise, and of course COVID wise. And 83 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: here's Jack. Well, if you go back to July third, 84 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: when we got the memo from the league about the 85 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: things that they thought were best practices for the protocols 86 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: and the setup. You know, originally a lot of it 87 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: was hypothetical, right, and just looking at spreadsheets, you're looking 88 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: at systems, you're looking at the building actually the structure 89 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: and the flow, and you're trying to come up with 90 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: the best possible scenario to play football and to have 91 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: a setup of a football operation at NRG. And so 92 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: we did that and we walked through that in the hypothetical. 93 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: But the exciting part was when our guys actually got 94 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: to come and do it, you know, when they showed 95 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: up and we got a chance to flow through the 96 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: day for a few times. We got a chance to 97 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: get these guys in meetings and really start talking football, 98 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: working out together, and that's been going really well, so 99 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: positive reports. Excited about what's going on. I would say, 100 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: whenever you put a plan together, there's always something in 101 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: the back of your by going, man, I hope this works, 102 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: but it has worked, and it's been good so far, 103 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: and lots of good things. Is we get started with 104 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 1: Texans camp here? Hey, Jack? From a standpoint of putting 105 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: that plan together, the focus of can we keep these 106 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: players safe? What do we have to do in the building? 107 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: How refreshing has it been to actually kind of dive 108 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: into the football aspect of life to get back to 109 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: normalcy in some sense that, Okay, our plan is working, 110 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: let's not focus on football and putting together the best 111 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: product we can on the field. How refreshing is that 112 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: bean to get the players back in the building to 113 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: be able to do that, It really is refreshing. That's 114 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: a great question, Johnny. I think one of the things 115 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: that was really cool is of our first team meeting, 116 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: right we began to talk about goals of this year's team. 117 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: We began to talk about principles right, dependable, tough, smart, 118 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: get back to those same phrases and vernaculars that have 119 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: been so popular around our building. And I had chills 120 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: because I was like, this is it. This is why 121 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: you do this, you know, and you know, to see 122 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: the players working out and obviously getting some things to 123 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: look at here over the last couple of days has 124 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: been refreshing. And I'll tell you this, the relationships right 125 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: beginning to form, right is, these guys in the off 126 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: season weren't afforded the opportunity like normal to be able 127 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: to get to know their new teammates, right, whether that's 128 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: drafted guys or free agent guys. So it's been cool 129 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: for those guys to begin to get to know each 130 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: other a little bit, not through a screen, right, and 131 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: to see them starting just cutting up and laughing, but 132 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: also learning the playbook and learning their roles that they'll 133 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: have for this year's team. So that's been really refreshing. 134 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: That's a great question, and it's good to finally see 135 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: some people running around together, Jack. I think this can 136 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: help everybody out there, no matter what business they're in, 137 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: as people start to meet again in person as opposed 138 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: to zoom. We're all a bunch of zoom experts. Now. 139 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: I was watching Hard Knocks. I've obviously seen the photos 140 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: from inside the building, the video with Peter King, all 141 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: the stuff you guys are put together. What's it like 142 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: to meet distanced and how is that dynamic playing out 143 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: for you? I see in the bubble you have to 144 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: share separated. I've seen you conduct meetings on video. What 145 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: is that like? Yeah, I think there's a huge behavioral 146 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: science right that we're going through right now, both in 147 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: the National Football League professional sports, but also in our 148 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: country at learning new things that we have to do 149 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: in order to keep the virus at bay. But also 150 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: I think there's some things we're trying to do just 151 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: to make sure that overall sickness is mitigated in the 152 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: risk is limited at what we're exposing ourselves to in 153 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: person to person contact. So I would say your question 154 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: there is very important for us going forward to begin 155 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: to create new ways. Right now, we'll spread out, like 156 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: you said, in the bubble. The bubble has been a 157 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: great asset for us because we can spread out in there. 158 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: We've got great screens up. The guys can watch an 159 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: HD exactly what they're doing in practice. So we've got 160 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: some great things going on. I think the behavioral science 161 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: going forward will beingportant to evolve. So we'll have to 162 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: do things where we're walking through together, We'll have to 163 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: do things where we're doing virtual walkthroughs and other things. 164 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: But I guess it is a new normal. It really is. 165 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: It's a new normal. Communication is out of premium. You 166 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: have to communicate. You have to do whatever it takes 167 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: to get the material from person to person, and sometimes 168 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: that means you got to spread out and do it. 169 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: Sometimes it means you got to go through virtual means. 170 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: But I think really the focus is on the material 171 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: and disseminating material whatever means necessary and doing it the 172 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: safe way. Jack, How proud are you of these players? 173 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: Your staff, this organization. A Scotch O'Brien has noted a 174 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: few times a number of days of no positive COVID tests. 175 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: These players are leaving the building, they're going to wherever 176 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: they're living, and they're coming back and they're not making 177 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: those decisions that we've seen from other organizations that have 178 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: gone awry. But the Texans have come back in zero 179 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: days or zero positives on multiple days. How proud are 180 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: you of the people that have left this building going 181 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: to live their lives and then come back into the 182 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: building and not that's the positive? How proud are you 183 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: of the organization for that? Let me jump on that, Jack, 184 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: because is this like baseball announcers during a no hitter 185 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: or a perfect game? Like no one talk about it 186 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: that just jins it and not just jinxy come on now, 187 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: but did not just jinks it. But we do need 188 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: a no hitter jack, right. So what I've said to 189 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: our staff and also to lots of people around Texans world, is, 190 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, the place doesn't necessarily make the people. The 191 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: people make the place, right. And so when we go 192 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: back to the beginning of the discussions with kl and 193 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: Janison Bill about how we're gonna set the building up, 194 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: you know, we thought about everything like how can we 195 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: touch things less right, how can we spread people out, 196 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: how can we keep people in the building for the 197 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: effective times when they need to be doing things that 198 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: are very specific, and then how can we keep them 199 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: out of the building at times where maybe they can 200 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: do some things virtually. And so I go back to 201 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: that original conversation that McNair's having some awesome foresight to 202 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: eliminate touch points around the building and investing in some 203 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: technology that allowed us to have some touch free zones 204 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: where guys don't have to interact with germs and things 205 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: that aren't in their normal patternless to say so, and 206 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: then also the discipline outside the building, I mean, our 207 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: staff is made tremendous sacrifices or players have made sacrifices, 208 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: and that'll have to go, excuse me, be the case 209 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: going forward, because you know, each new day is obviously 210 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: an opportunity outside the building and to interact with people 211 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: that maybe aren't being tested, and there's definitely challenges with that. 212 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: But yeah, we're real excited about how it's gone so far. 213 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: But we're in the third ending to stick with y'alls analogies, 214 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: so or maybe the second ending. I don't know where 215 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: we are, but we're excited about what we've done so far. Well, 216 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: speaking of it being early with no preseason games and 217 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: no joint practices, you don't have that wear and tear yet, 218 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: you need some wear and tear. You need some physical banging. 219 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: It's professional football, so you're gonna have scrimmages and things 220 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: like that. What's it gonna be like to getting ready 221 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: for the season without joint practices in preseason games? Jack, Well, 222 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. I think we've adopted a phrase 223 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: that we've said a lot in our staff meetings and 224 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: our sports performance meetings and with the coaching staff is 225 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: that we have to do the next right thing right. 226 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: So there was debate whether there was going to be 227 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: preseason games where there wasn't going to be preseason games. 228 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: There was debate whether or not, you know, we would 229 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: have X amount of padded practices or whether we'd have 230 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: why padded practices, and those debates obviously, we couldn't redo 231 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: the plan every time those debates went public. We had 232 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: to wait and be patient to get the plan from 233 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: the league. And once we got that plan, we sat 234 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: in multiple think tank sessions with our sports performance staff, 235 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: with our coaching staff who knew the skill sets of 236 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: our player is really well, and our scouting staff that 237 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: also knew the the medical situation with the current players 238 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: and the incoming players, and we put that all in 239 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: a milkshake to try to make a plan for this 240 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: camp that is a ramp up that's specifically curtailed to 241 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: individual guys to get them ready, but also curtailed to 242 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: the entire team to get us to a load and 243 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: to get us to a threshold where we can play 244 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: well against Kansas City. And that's the goal, right. So 245 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a one off as far 246 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: as the curriculum we're following. It's not necessarily last year. 247 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: I'm hoping it won't be next year, you know, But 248 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: for now it's been really really good just to see 249 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: the next great thing. Kind of these slow day by 250 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: day progressions kind of get knocked out one by one 251 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: as we build up and as we ramp up here. 252 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: But it's definitely different. But I think we got a 253 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: good plan and I think we're gonna execute that. But 254 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: it's got to be day to day, week to week, 255 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: because you can't look too far ahead all that's going on, 256 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: whether it's a physical ramp up or whether that's actually 257 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: preparing to play Kansas City Jack. We all end up 258 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: in this world of football because in some way, shape 259 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: or form, we love the game of football, and there 260 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,599 Speaker 1: are certain aspects that we all love about our relationships. 261 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: We love the broadcast side of it. We love training camp, 262 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: and Mark and I talk about this all the time. 263 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: What are we most curious about seeing with this team 264 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: at training camp? Is there something for you that you 265 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: are most curious or most excited to see as we 266 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: really dive into the true football putting on the pads 267 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: and seeing how the full plan on the field comes together. 268 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: There's something on the field that you're really excited about 269 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: seeing as we crank up the pads here. I don't 270 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: know if I could limit it to one thing, right, 271 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: I'm so excited about lots of things. We've got great 272 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: new coordinators that are going to step up and give 273 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: some creativity to some stuff that they're working on. Where 274 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 1: we've got obviously new additions to both offensively and defensively 275 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: of guys that are dependable, tough, smart, We've got an 276 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: awesome quarterback who's better than was last year. We've got 277 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: a great front that I think can help do some 278 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: creative things, you know, on lots of levels defensively. So 279 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if I could give you one thing, 280 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: but I do think there's things that are going on 281 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: in the field, in the meeting room the Texans fans 282 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: should be very excited about, and for me personally, you know, 283 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: the fourteenth putting pads on, I think will be the 284 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: first step where we'll really see kind of some of 285 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: those things come to fruition. Jack. It's got to be 286 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: a huge challenge to think about. We see every year 287 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend teams picking up players that might have 288 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: been let go from other teams or whatever. They're available 289 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: for whatever reason. But that's after a long scouting process 290 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: and preseason games and whatever you get from training camp, 291 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: joint practices. If you see some of that footage or whatever, 292 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: now there's nothing, So how do you gauge that as 293 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: far as evaluating other teams possible prospects that are available. 294 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: And it's got to help you in a sense because 295 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: if you have some young hot shot that you want 296 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: to kind of get on the practice squad, maybe it's 297 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: a little bit easier. Yeah, you know, I think that's 298 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: a good example of how some of these rules probably 299 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: are day by day. You know, I'm not exactly sure 300 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: how the way wire is going to play out this year. 301 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: I think it'll be different with protesting, the buyer reference 302 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: requirements to enter the building. Still waiting on some protocol 303 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: communication from the league on that, and I'm sure they'll 304 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: give us something here soon. But yeah, I think it's 305 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: definitely different. And that's why I've always said this camp, 306 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: or I've tried to say as many times to our staff, 307 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: is we got to do the next right thing? Right? 308 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: What is the next right thing? Because we're getting new 309 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: information every day. Bill has done a great job of 310 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: looking at the entire league. We've watched a lot of 311 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: players that aren't on our team. We've watched players that 312 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: are on our team. We've watched players that played well 313 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: in college and we're undrafted and are now playing for 314 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: other teams and what they may be good at. So 315 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: I feel like we have a really good pulse of 316 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: the entire league, both those that were familiar with in 317 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: the pro side and then those who entered into college side, 318 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: and if there was something out there, we'd always do 319 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: what's right for the team. Jack. We asked this question 320 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: of coach O'Brien all the time and got a feeling 321 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: that you would definitely fall into this case. In the 322 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: offseason with everything was going on in the building, I'm 323 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: sure you didn't have a ton of time to kind 324 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: of step away and maybe read a book, you know, 325 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: watch a series or something that maybe he gave you 326 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: some motivation. We talked to coach yesterday, but watching the 327 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: Last Dance, which is fascinated to go back and watch 328 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: twenty years after the fact. But he's always reading, He's 329 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: always reading about leadership and those kind of things. Is 330 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: there anything this offseason that you kind of found maybe 331 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, some wisdom or something that you found 332 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: in reading a book or listening to a podcast that 333 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: you've kind of applied throughout this really kind of interesting 334 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: period of time. You know, it's interesting. I think if 335 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: you went through my searches on the internet, you'd see 336 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: a lot about the CBC, You'd see a lot about 337 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: some of the World Health Organization stuff, you know. So 338 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: I think that probably what dominated it. But I did 339 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: study the Spanish fluid nineteen eighteen relative to the reaction 340 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: of the government and the reaction of big business, because 341 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: I felt that there was some transition mayor to or 342 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: some transferable principles there that I felt were true of 343 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: just the trauma that society goes through. You know, when 344 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: you have a pandemic and there's some fear, there's some worry. 345 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: People don't want to be out and about like we're 346 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: used to, especially in the great city of Houston, where 347 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: people want to be outside and play and hang out 348 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: and run and you celebrate summer. I think I learned 349 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: a lot from that. I learned a lot about the 350 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: President of the United States and how he handled that. 351 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: And so I also read a book called Culture Code 352 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: and talked a lot about culture and how culture is 353 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: group of people that repeat actions a group of people 354 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: that repeat actions, and you know, you can say you 355 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: have a culture, but your culture is really what your 356 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: people are repeatedly doing. So challenging our culture just to 357 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: continue to massage that and you never really have it perfect, 358 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: but you just keep getting better and keep getting better. 359 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: I also read a lot about the history of the 360 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: development of different franchises. I feel like the Texans franchises 361 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: off to an amazing start twenty years into this thing. 362 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at what's happened in different 363 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: organizational history around the league, really the Texans are off 364 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: to an amazing start in the early history of this franchise. 365 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: And so I thought about next steps for our franchise 366 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: and where we are and working with cal on that 367 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: because if you really think about it closely and you 368 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: compare other expansion teams, I mean, this franchise is off 369 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: to an awesome start, and the Fans have a lot 370 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: to be proud of what's happened so far. So Spanish flu, 371 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: a little bit of culture code, a little bit of 372 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: Texans history, a little bit of NFL history, and probably 373 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: a lot of Google searches of the World Health Organization. 374 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: If I'm honest, well, we're at the beginning of the 375 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: latest chapter in our history. And Chack, we want to 376 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming on. We really appreciate 377 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: the time and look forward to catch it up soon. Yeah.

And you heard what he's been googling lately. 382 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: So look, we've all been googling stuff like that right 383 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: to a degree. Now he's doing it to try to 384 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: keep I don't know how many people in this building 385 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: as safe as possible, A tone hundred and fifty maybe 386 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: in football all to all told, and then business operations 387 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: is a whole other thing. I mean, he and Jamie 388 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: Roots work very closely to make sure this organization, top 389 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: to bottom, can stay as safe as possible in this environment. 390 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: So practice will be out here today. We're gonna have 391 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: actually some practice going on while we're on the air, 392 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: which hasn't happened yet here on Texans Training Camp Live 393 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, Johnny, I need give me two of 394 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: your biggest takeaways so far from what you've seen in practice. 395 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: Both practices that we've seen so far been in the bubble, 396 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: and Texans Training Camp Live has covered it our pre 397 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: practice show, our post practice show, all of it. But 398 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: give me your two biggest takeaways. I think the first 399 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: one hit the first day watching David Johnson run the 400 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: ball and just seeing him size wise. I remember seeing 401 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: him when he was with the Cardinals when I believe 402 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: they came here for I want to say they came 403 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: here for a preseason game, if I remember correctly, and 404 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: I've ever seen him, I was like, Wow, he's impressive. 405 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: And you just watch him work receiver routes before the 406 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: game and you're like, God, that guy's are running back 407 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: and then you watch you run the football and you think, boy, 408 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: he's got some juice left. And I texted you afterwards 409 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: and I said, if that David Johnson we see that 410 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 1: we that we saw on Friday, that's the David Johnson 411 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: that we see this year. You know, buckle up, it's 412 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: gonna be fun. I think the other thing to me 413 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: that stood out for the most part this is this 414 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: is where there were a few things, but I'll go 415 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: to this one. Physically, the rookies so totally looked the part. 416 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: I spent a lot of my time when I do 417 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: draft stuff. I think about this a lot when I 418 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: go to the Senior Bowl and I look at players 419 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: and and I'm studying players. Know, it's funny. I've talked 420 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: to our scouts. I've talked to scouts throughout the league jams, 421 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: and I've kind of talked to him. And the one 422 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,719 Speaker 1: thing that they'll all tell you that I've I've come 423 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: to find out as well, is you know, watch him 424 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: on film. That's one thing you know that's great, But 425 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: you gotta see these guys up close. You gotta see 426 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: if they fit in your locker room, Like could that guy? 427 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: Could you take that guy off the field and stick 428 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: him in your locker room today? And there have been 429 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: times where I've been a Senior Bowl and went, yeah, 430 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: I could take that guy today and put him in 431 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: our locker room and he would fit, especially the defensive 432 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: guys we haven't had a chance to see, as Theah 433 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: Coulter yet, I should say, Charlie, heck two four to 434 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: five draft picks, those guys look like they fit. Man, 435 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: you walk I was walking this morning just over here 436 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: and John Grenard was coming back from the Houston Methist 437 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: training bubble and he was walking back and I just 438 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: ran out into him and say, hey, John, you know 439 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: we met at the Senior but yeah, yeah, John Harris. Yeah, 440 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: And so we talked for just a brief bit and 441 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: he's realized, Man, this guy's an outside linebacker. Good grief. 442 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: And then you see Ross Blacklock and what he looks 443 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: like physically, and then you watch him move and you're 444 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: like wow. And we've got us that on video too. 445 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: You can check out some of our video coverage and 446 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: you'll see glimpses of it. I know you can't be 447 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: out here, fans, but our videos are showing some stuff 448 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: and not the whole thing, not the whole eleven on 449 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: eleven from aerial view, but you're gonna get some ideas 450 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: of what these guys are like, Yeah, absolutely, and I 451 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: think those are Those are the two. I think the 452 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: third thing, if there was anything Mark I would think. 453 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: And I want to make sure I say this in 454 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: the right way, but Deshaun's in full and total control. 455 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: Like he's he's in control, like's not he's not calling 456 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: the plays, He's not just going rogue and calling whatever 457 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: he wants but you can just tell that he has 458 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 1: he If there's a huddle and they break it, he 459 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: goes up and he knows exactly what the coverage is. 460 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: He knows who's disguising, he knows who's coming, he knows 461 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: exactly what he wants. He's at his pace and his tempo. 462 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: If he wants to get things off quickly, he gets 463 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: off quickly. If he wants to be totally sure, he 464 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: wants to see if he can draw the defense out 465 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: of the skuis. I thought it was interesting the other 466 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: day he did that where he got up to a 467 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: lot of scrimmage. He kind of gave a little bit 468 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: of a hard count and he got the safeties to 469 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: move and it showed him cover two, and so then 470 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: he walked up to the line of scrimmage and he 471 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: changed the play to a run, knowing that they were 472 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: too high, and so he ended up getting running pop 473 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: one in there for a good game. But he is 474 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: in full and total control. It's his fourth year in 475 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: new offense. He knows it. Obviously. With Tim Kelly, new 476 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, play caller, shouldn't say new new play caller, 477 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: second year offensive coordina. They're gonna do a few different things. Yeah, 478 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: but you can tell that he is in absolute command 479 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and you just go back to 480 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: him as a rookie. We knew he was good. I 481 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: mean when we were at the Greenbrier going could greet 482 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: this guy's amazing, but you could just tell that there 483 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: were times he wasn't totally sure what he was seeing 484 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: should he make that? Now it's just he knows exactly 485 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: what he needs to do. He knows the pace he 486 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 1: wants to go, he knows where he wants to go 487 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: with the football. He is in absolute and total command 488 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: of this offense. And I love seeing that. I love 489 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: seeing a quarterback make that step. And we've seen other teams. 490 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: It happened for other teams quarterbacks. You know, we've seen 491 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: it for them. I don't think I know, I haven't 492 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: seen the building because it's been a different quarterback every 493 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: year until the Sean got here in seven. And now 494 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: we're seeing that development, which has been pretty cool. Well, 495 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: the David Johnson size factor, I think you exemplified that 496 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: well in the telestrator last night on Texans Extra Points, 497 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: which is the next couple of Sundays, by the way, 498 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: ten thirty five on Sundays before it moves into its 499 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: regular Saturday slot. And I thought that was a great 500 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: telestrator last night on David Johnson as a cardinal and 501 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: some adjustments he made in his ability to run through tackles, 502 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: the sheer size of the guy along with the receiving skills. 503 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: All right, Next up John McClain, the general. What does 504 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: he think of all this? What about Jonathan Grenard?

John, Welcome back to the show, 610 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: and why don't you give me your top two takeaways 611 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: from what you've seen so far at practice here with Houston. 612 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: First of all, there's morning, feels like we're in West Virginia. 613 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: I'm looking around for the mountains I've been. I've not 614 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: been able to furnd them. But it's actually in the 615 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: seventies and they're supposed to practice outside. Don't know if 616 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: it feels slig but I always like outside better than inside, 617 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: where it's not as dark and you can move around. 618 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: And last week they were inside with pads and two 619 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: players among a lot of players who stood out to 620 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: me were running back David Johnson and tight end Jordan Thomas. 621 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: I thought those guys were just tremendous when they put 622 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: on pads. Just Thomas kedging. Everything's what we thought he 623 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: would do. Last season. Attery caught those four reds on 624 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: touchdown passes as a rookie. Until he came in he 625 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: wasn't in good shape. He got hurt. He loves like 626 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: he looks like a big tid receiving tight in and 627 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: he is big. And then David Johnson, you know, is there. 628 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's the most important player on the 629 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: team besides Deshaun Watson, but he's one of them, and 630 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: he looks like he's got a lot to prove, and 631 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: he started with a bang. Hey, general, how have you 632 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: found the first few days of training camp? It's been 633 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: so different from I know from my experience at training camp, 634 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: but you've been around a lot more of them than 635 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: I have. How have you found training camp to be 636 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: the first few days with so few media, so few 637 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: opportunities to have FaceTime with the players? How have you 638 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: found that over the last few days everybody adjusted And 639 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm used to zoom calls as a poor reporter of 640 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: the team to get to cover practice. I get to 641 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: sit down with O'Brien after practice and talk to him 642 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: about practice. I didn't think I'd be interviewing anybody in 643 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: person all year, so that's been good and I just 644 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: as far as fewer media people, the only thing I've 645 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: noticed is I have to stand at a cone so 646 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: I can make sure that I'm that I'm not within 647 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: sixth stee of anybody or that thing we wear, that 648 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: tracer it, you know, blinks read, so I'm trying to 649 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: constantly be aware of that. I have my binoculars, I 650 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: have my notepad. So I like the fact that it's 651 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: less crowded on the sideline for sure, John McLean joining 652 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: us from the Houston Chronicle. General I don't like talking 653 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: about salary cap stuff and things like that. I think 654 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: as a sports fan the two things that aggravate people 655 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: more than anything or injuries and contract stuff. But just 656 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: tell me this, with this year being a down revenue 657 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: year for the league and next year's cap being lower, 658 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: how do you think that's all going to play out 659 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: with some of the things that Texans would like to 660 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: get done contractually and how they have to navigate through 661 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: that moving forward. Well, first of all, you've got a 662 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: floor of a cap next year to one hundred and 663 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: seventy five million. In a normal year it would go 664 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: up from one it would go up from one night 665 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: to about two OA to two teen. You're not gonna 666 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: have that, so team have to be prepared. The Texans 667 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: have redone three contracts that helped them free up about 668 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: eight million, Angelo Blackson, Sinil Kellamte and Zach Fulton, and 669 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: that every little bit helps and that will help them, 670 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: I believe. And they're getting Watson designed by the start 671 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: of the season. They still want to do Zach Gunningham. 672 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: Texians have been rolling over money from one year to 673 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: the next, which is very smart for them to do, 674 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: and I think they'll continue to do that and has 675 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: been very important to keep an eye on it now 676 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: when they crank up the new TV and streaming negotiations, 677 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: that one hundred and seventy five floor could rise even 678 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 1: without fans in the stands generally. You mentioned David Johnson 679 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: a little while ago at Jordan Thomas, two guys that 680 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: really stood out to you now that you've got now 681 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: that we're getting into the third fourth day, are there 682 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 1: other players that you want to keep an eye Are 683 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: there more than intrigue you. We know that Kenny Stills 684 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: and Dylan Cole came off their respective list to be 685 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: active for today, so I know I'm anxious to see them. 686 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 1: When there are a few players that you want to 687 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: keep your eye on over the next few days that 688 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: you haven't had a chance to watch maybe the first 689 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: few days, well, I don't care about veterans like that. 690 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: You know what they can do if they're healthy. The 691 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: ones I care about are the new players. I think 692 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to do something on Eric Murray today because 693 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: he's going to be available on his Zoom. He's a 694 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: starting safety with Justin Reid. He's played up, he's played back. 695 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: O'Brien's talked to him up and I don't know much 696 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: about him other than he was not a regular starter 697 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,919 Speaker 1: at Cleveland or Kansas City, and they're counting on him, 698 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: and I let Ross Blacklock and Jonathan Grenard, two top 699 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: draft georges. I know they're real on cornerback John Reid 700 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: after their virtual ball season program. So and new players 701 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: like that, especially like like we mentioned David Johnson, even 702 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,919 Speaker 1: though he's a veteran, he's been in the league now 703 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: this is sixth season, and considering he had an injury 704 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: played season in which he was bitched, and it's and 705 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: he's own important he is to the team every time 706 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: he's on the field. I'm watching him and the Daling call. 707 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: You know, everybody loves doing call. He just got to 708 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 1: stay health and he hasn't been able to do that. 709 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 1: And Kenny Steals, you know, they got high expectations for Stills. 710 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: You put him out there with Will Fuller, and this 711 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: is no team can put three established receivers on the 712 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: field like the Texas Kent and I'm staying established and 713 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: that would be Fuller, Cooks and Steals all who ran 714 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 1: into four threes at the combat people say Fuller ran 715 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 1: four twos. That was unofficial. Officially he's four three two 716 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 1: and then gob was a slow four or four six. 717 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: And even though he's older, those guys can still move. 718 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: And I don't know often that Bill of Brian and 719 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: Tim Kelly are gonna have four wives at the same time, 720 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: but you know they will, and it's going to be 721 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: cantilizing for fans to watch that kind of speed. John. 722 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,760 Speaker 1: We were hoping Duke Edge of four could somehow find 723 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: his way into the pass rush rotation or make things 724 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: work out in year three for himself after missing last 725 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: year with an injury. But he's gone. So tell me 726 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: about the depth at pass rush with Grenard and Jacob 727 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: Martin behind Scarlett Whitney Watt, what do you think of 728 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 1: the group? The problem with outside linebackers as inside and 729 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: at thirty four, they usually get nicked up. And that's 730 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: one thing that Dura Billy of an Argot McKinney and 731 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: Zach Cunningham. I don't think it's enough attention. But you 732 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: know they've got four guys an outside linebacker. When I 733 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 1: talked about them in the offseason, I never mentioned I 734 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: never mentioned to gage four because we have see we 735 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: haven't seen Duke in in in the past, so I'm 736 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: not sure exactly how that's going to play out. But 737 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: if they stay healthy, they got four guys they can 738 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: count on. General, it feels like with this roster, and 739 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: you mentioned it, there are a lot of veterans. It 740 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 1: feels like there are a lot of things in place. 741 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: But do you feel like there are some training camp 742 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: battles that have sort of have to take place over 743 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: the next few weeks, Because I know Mark and I 744 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: have talked about some of that, and I look at 745 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: it and go, man, I really feel like there's some 746 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: things that we are are most things we already know. 747 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 1: But do you look at it and say, Okay, I 748 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: think there's training camp battles at these particular positions and 749 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: these spots have got to work themselves out before September tenth. 750 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: They don't have many starting jobs up for grabs. This 751 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: is the most experienced team I've seen the Texans as 752 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 1: since two twelve when they were coming off their first 753 00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: division title. You know, they got their starting safeties, they 754 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: got their top corners, they got their four linebackers, they've 755 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: got their defensive lineman, and Brandon Dunn's going to start 756 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: at the nose tackle Blacks in it right in at 757 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: some point. I don't know if it'll be this season 758 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: because Blackclock didn't have the advantage of the off season program, 759 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: but Ross Blackclock's going to be that right end, and 760 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: so it's just a matter of how quick can he 761 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: be in get in there. Ken Jonathan Grennard beat out 762 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: Brandon Scarlett Brands an experience, smart player who's been around, 763 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: and it's going to be hard for a rookie to 764 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: step in and start unless there's an opening, and there's not. 765 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: Offensive line set, wide receivers set, tight ends are set, 766 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: and so running backs set. So the way I look 767 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: at it in the competition is for backup roles and 768 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: because they have that experience, that is so good for 769 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: special teams. If the Saint Tracy Smith was in his 770 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: first year and they were coming off a bad year 771 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 1: and they needed players to play on scial teams, they 772 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: got most of their special teamers back. This team is 773 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: in good position as far as starting positions. It looks 774 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: to me like the only real battles are for Dept. 775 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: John What do you have going out on the Houston 776 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: Chronicle Stories every Day podcasts every day. I hope we're outside. 777 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: My car right now has gone from seventy three to 778 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: seventy nine. But from whatever it is, it's going to 779 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: be nicer than usual. I'm eager to see them outside, 780 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: although it is fun when they put on the pads, 781 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: all right.

So, Jonathan Grenard, I 915 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about him, okay, because I've seen 916 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: the footage and when you see him on the practice field, 917 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 1: you're thinking, he looks you know, the old thing with 918 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,279 Speaker 1: rookies is the old coaching cliche is it is he 919 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 1: looks like he belongs. This is whatever the sport. You know, 920 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 1: does he look like he belongs? He looks like he belongs, 921 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,120 Speaker 1: But so does Blacklock right and Read two has made 922 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,720 Speaker 1: some plays out there. And those are the three guys 923 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:56,800 Speaker 1: on defense we're focusing on here as far as the 924 00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 1: rookies go, um, and there are other people that you're 925 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 1: gonna hear more about undrafted free agents. This is a 926 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,800 Speaker 1: very different year the rosters at eighty it could The 927 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,879 Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk ran a story about, hey, they could 928 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: cut down faster than you think because with no preseason games, 929 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 1: you don't need to fill the time, so to speak. 930 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: And Bill O'Brien said, and I wrote about this on 931 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: Houston Texans dot com and he was quoted after practice 932 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 1: on Saturday. Look, we're at eighty, but we're really at 933 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,239 Speaker 1: seventy because of injuries, and you know, guys that you're 934 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 1: kind of sitting for load management. He didn't use that term. 935 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 1: I did so at seventy. He's like, basically, we're getting 936 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,840 Speaker 1: ready for the season. And yes, they're getting ready for 937 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 1: the season. They don't have to play preseason games. They've 938 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:44,239 Speaker 1: got a couple of scrimmages interest squads. So tell me 939 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: about these three rookies, Blacklock, Bernard. We'll get to read later. 940 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 1: Let's just focus on those two. Have you changed who 941 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 1: you think could have the most impact on this football 942 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 1: team in the short term. No, When you think about, 943 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: you know, order in your draft order, obviously Rocks Russ's 944 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,280 Speaker 1: second rounder, John Gunards, the third rounder, Hack fourth rounder, 945 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 1: John Reed, a fourth rounder, and then a fifth rounder 946 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 1: Isaiah Coulter, I mean you just go by that that 947 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 1: you would think that's the priority order. Um, if you 948 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 1: just went by that, and I think that's probably the 949 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:17,760 Speaker 1: way it goes. I do think that watching them use 950 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 1: these first couple of days. First of all, as I 951 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 1: said earlier, those are all guys that had I seen 952 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,879 Speaker 1: them prior to I would have said Yeah, they could 953 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,279 Speaker 1: fit in our locker room tomorrow. I always do that 954 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 1: when the bowl, when the when the bowl comes in here, 955 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 1: uh Texas ball comes in here, or the kickoff game 956 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 1: is in here, and I always kind of look at 957 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,879 Speaker 1: players and go, Okay, can that guy? Could that guy 958 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,719 Speaker 1: fit in our locker room? Does that guy look like 959 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,920 Speaker 1: he belongs in our locker room? Yeah, because you see 960 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 1: a lot of guys in college. You see kids in 961 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 1: college six four, three hundred pounds or whatever the case 962 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 1: might be, and you're like, yeah, I know, ex three 963 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,479 Speaker 1: hundred pounds, but that just is not the body type 964 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 1: that fits in the NFL. These three, the three defensive 965 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,800 Speaker 1: players in particular, they all physically fit. I stood in 966 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 1: to Ross on Friday, Friday afternoons practice and I just 967 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,320 Speaker 1: kept I kept looking at him like you're just built different. 968 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,400 Speaker 1: Like I didn't say that to him, but that was 969 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 1: what I was thinking. I kept thinking he just looked 970 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,120 Speaker 1: so different from everybody. And the first name that came 971 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,000 Speaker 1: to mind, and I sort of hate that this is 972 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 1: the name that comes to mind because the name I'm 973 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 1: using is a guy who ended up being a complete 974 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 1: total bust. But the problem, the reason he became a 975 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 1: bust was not because of his body size or anything. 976 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,439 Speaker 1: He just wasn't ready to be a professional in the NFL. 977 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 1: And as Robert kim Chi you played at Old Miss 978 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 1: kim Dchi was about sixty three, three hundred pounds and 979 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 1: just had thick trunk legs upstairs. I mean he just 980 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,720 Speaker 1: was cut out a chiseled out a diamond, it seemed. 981 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: And he was agile. He was quick like a cat. 982 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,040 Speaker 1: I mean he could just bounce and played on his 983 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 1: toes and that was not something you saw from guys 984 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 1: those side that that size, and I see that with Ross, 985 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,399 Speaker 1: just the way that he bounces around and the way 986 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,359 Speaker 1: that he moves and the strength that he plays with 987 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 1: My gosh, I was I just had a hard time 988 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 1: Friday kind of keep my eyes off and I just 989 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 1: wanted to watch more of him. I wanted him on 990 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,920 Speaker 1: the field as much as possible so I could greedily 991 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 1: watch him. And I think John Grenard's the same way. 992 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,479 Speaker 1: You see the explosiveness and the burst off the ball, 993 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 1: the first pass rush, first pass rush one on one 994 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,680 Speaker 1: that I saw Grenard. I was kind of watching it 995 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 1: through kind of a group of people, and I just 996 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 1: saw this blur just on an anglish and Charlie Heck. 997 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 1: I think I think Charlie Heck was the tackle. I 998 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,680 Speaker 1: don't know for sure. I thought it was him, and 999 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: Grenard just came right at him, and Heck wasn't totally 1000 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,719 Speaker 1: sure what to do, and then John just went He 1001 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,880 Speaker 1: threw some Bruce Lee hands on him and went inside 1002 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,439 Speaker 1: and got clean to the quarterback and all of a sudden, 1003 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 1: you just heard the defensive lineman just like who They 1004 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 1: all went crazy. You just see so many good athletic, 1005 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,680 Speaker 1: elite traits with these guys. And the one thing about 1006 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 1: Grenar too, when you see him, you're just like, he 1007 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,480 Speaker 1: reminds me. I don't even want to use the comparison, 1008 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,719 Speaker 1: but he reminds me of somebody that's in our division 1009 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 1: that has been one of the better pass rushers in 1010 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 1: the league from a body, size, build and everything. And 1011 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 1: the fact he ended up going in the third round. 1012 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 1: That's justin Houston from the Colts. Now, that dude had 1013 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,960 Speaker 1: some serious juice when he was with the Chiefs and 1014 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:24,719 Speaker 1: knee and jury took a little bit away, but we 1015 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 1: even saw it last year. But just the way he's built, 1016 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:32,400 Speaker 1: huge trunk, I mean, like Kardashian like, but he uses 1017 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 1: that strength and that explosiveness, he uses that trunk to 1018 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,000 Speaker 1: get him get himself where he needs to go. He's 1019 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 1: good with his hands, and he just has a knack 1020 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 1: for finding the quarterback. And that was Justin Houston coming 1021 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,719 Speaker 1: out of Georgia. Now, Justin Houston would not have been 1022 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,760 Speaker 1: a third rounder if he didn't have some other issues 1023 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:50,800 Speaker 1: that he got passed when he got to the league. 1024 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:56,400 Speaker 1: But Kansas City ended up with this gem because Justin 1025 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,320 Speaker 1: Houston got it together once he got to the pros 1026 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 1: and then they maximized it. Now, I don't know that 1027 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,759 Speaker 1: John garnardwover get the twenty something sacks like Justin Houston had, 1028 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 1: but you can tell that the ability to rush to 1029 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 1: quarterback and those elite traits are there, and John Reid 1030 00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 1: has them too. John Reid just size wise, the way 1031 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,959 Speaker 1: he moves his quickness, he's quick, Oh man, he's quick, 1032 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,879 Speaker 1: and he did at the combine he had a sub 1033 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,160 Speaker 1: sub seventh second three cone and just flew through it. 1034 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,680 Speaker 1: And you can see that manifest itself on the field 1035 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:26,240 Speaker 1: and coverage. So physically, when you look at draft picks, 1036 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 1: you look at elite traits. What elite traits that these 1037 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,000 Speaker 1: guys have do they have them? And even though the 1038 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,879 Speaker 1: Texans didn't have a first rounder, I think they found 1039 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,319 Speaker 1: some guys with some elite traits for sure. Well it's 1040 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 1: it is a regret of mine to not have preseason 1041 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,919 Speaker 1: games to see these guys try to shine a little 1042 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,399 Speaker 1: bit more. Get some reps there, because, as McLean was saying, 1043 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,920 Speaker 1: didn't you know what the veterans are gonna do? You know? 1044 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:48,960 Speaker 1: You want to see some of these young guys. Plus, 1045 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 1: it would give me a chance to learn and really 1046 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:59,200 Speaker 1: work the pronunciation of a zoua alufahah. Big z big 1047 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,160 Speaker 1: z one of the He's gonna be big z because 1048 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,239 Speaker 1: I've heard what call um that, So he's big z 1049 00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,320 Speaker 1: all day long. They're rookie from West Georgia, undrafted nose 1050 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,760 Speaker 1: tackle six four three twenty. You know I like that?

Practice Camp continues. Texans open September tenth at 1166 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:21,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City. No preseason games scrimmages. They'll do some and 1167 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 1: we'll get you updated on those. You're not gonna get 1168 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,760 Speaker 1: to see him. I'm gonna tell you that, right now 1169 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,080 Speaker 1: as Bill O'Brien, I don't think he wants to show 1170 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:33,560 Speaker 1: much of anything to anybody. The NFL network actually called 1171 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:38,080 Speaker 1: me since I'm broadcasting director here. They wanted to know 1172 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 1: if they could show some action on the NFL network 1173 01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:46,280 Speaker 1: of whatever scrimmages may occur interest squad, and I thought, yeah, 1174 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,760 Speaker 1: I just emailed them back right away. I said, listen, um, 1175 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,760 Speaker 1: you know I'll ask, but I know what team answer 1176 01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,960 Speaker 1: is going to be. Don't look for a different answer. 1177 01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,600 Speaker 1: Don't expect anything here, are you kidding? And I think 1178 01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 1: all teams have to feel this way, and I know 1179 01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,160 Speaker 1: that some teams I don't even actually know this. I 1180 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,000 Speaker 1: thought some teams might be doing some scrimmages for the fans. 1181 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,360 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Among those fans will be scouts 1182 01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:14,200 Speaker 1: from other NFL teams. You can bet on that. Oh, 1183 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,439 Speaker 1: you can mail want to get a good look. I mean, 1184 01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,840 Speaker 1: this is a tremendous competitive advantage for all teams to 1185 01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:23,080 Speaker 1: just unveil whatever they're gonna unveil on opening day. And 1186 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:27,680 Speaker 1: you haven't seen squat now usually Johnny in the joint practices, 1187 01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,440 Speaker 1: you're not showing much anyway, but you get a vibe, 1188 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,240 Speaker 1: you get a feel like, oh, they might use Randall 1189 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 1: Cobb like this, they're Brandon Cooks like that, They're gonna 1190 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,680 Speaker 1: show some stuff. Yeah right. The biggest thing is you 1191 01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,960 Speaker 1: get a chance to see other other players that might 1192 01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,080 Speaker 1: you know, you get to see the roster from forty 1193 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,080 Speaker 1: four through ninety That's what you get a chance to see. 1194 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 1: And think how many times we've watched a guy at 1195 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,480 Speaker 1: some point during during a practice and then that guy 1196 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,480 Speaker 1: ended up with us at some point because we saw 1197 01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,120 Speaker 1: him joint practices. Hey we remembered him from the year 1198 01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,880 Speaker 1: before or two years prior. Hey, let's bring him in 1199 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,640 Speaker 1: and see what we've got that's here. I mean, that's 1200 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:10,560 Speaker 1: a huge help to these uh pro scouts, college scouts. 1201 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,479 Speaker 1: It you think about it now, I mean, think about 1202 01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 1: this Mark. Just as you were talking about that, it 1203 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,720 Speaker 1: made me think if you're the Saints, the Bucks and 1204 01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,920 Speaker 1: the Falcons getting ready for the Panthers, Like, what are 1205 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 1: you doing right now? You're watching a lot of Baylor? 1206 01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 1: I guess you watch Yeah, are you watching a lot 1207 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 1: of LSU because of Joe Brady running the offense? Oh, 1208 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,560 Speaker 1: you're right, You're you're definitely watching a lot of LSU. 1209 01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,360 Speaker 1: So I mean but you're you're flying blind. Really yeah, 1210 01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,840 Speaker 1: that I mean you talk about advantage and they got 1211 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,360 Speaker 1: Teddy and they got McCaffrey and who knows how they're 1212 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,720 Speaker 1: gonna use him, and that that could be really special 1213 01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:46,040 Speaker 1: for them on opening day. Now that goes away pretty quickly. 1214 01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,520 Speaker 1: We got one game, and you know, you can't reinvent 1215 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,360 Speaker 1: yourself between game one and game two. Now you can 1216 01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 1: game plan, of course and add some wrinkles, but it's 1217 01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:57,920 Speaker 1: not like, listen, these first four games, we're running the 1218 01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,680 Speaker 1: wishbone in week two, then we're gonna go running shoot 1219 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:04,640 Speaker 1: in week three. You just wait, everyone, it's the element 1220 01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 1: of surprise that can't happen. All right, let's break down 1221 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,520 Speaker 1: a position group here. We do it every day, and 1222 01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 1: today it's the running backs, Johnny, the men who carry 1223 01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 1: the hug skin through rain, sleet, snow, coronavirus. Let's go 1224 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,680 Speaker 1: over some of these guys. Okay, where you want to start? 1225 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,200 Speaker 1: Give me a name? All right, let's go. Let's start 1226 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:30,040 Speaker 1: with the man David Johnson acquired in the offseason sixth 1227 01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,440 Speaker 1: year out of Northern Iowa, six one, two hundred and 1228 01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:35,120 Speaker 1: twenty five pounds. What's he got, man, he's got guns, 1229 01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:38,320 Speaker 1: he's got size. Watching him on Friday, Mark, I was 1230 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to say amazed, but I just was 1231 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,000 Speaker 1: shocked and surprised in a good way, just how he 1232 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:49,840 Speaker 1: glided through a bunch of big bodies and even and 1233 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:54,760 Speaker 1: ran past smaller bodies. He just has a way of 1234 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,640 Speaker 1: getting up field in a hurry. I think he's a 1235 01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 1: good zone runner. I don't know that he's I don't 1236 01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,120 Speaker 1: know how he will be in a power scheme and 1237 01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:03,840 Speaker 1: how much power. But the Texans run a lot of 1238 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 1: his own. I mean that's what they want to do. 1239 01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,840 Speaker 1: They can do some different things up front. But man, 1240 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,160 Speaker 1: he has good vision. He likes to cut back kind 1241 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 1: of like Arian does. But boy, he catches the ball 1242 01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,840 Speaker 1: so clean and so well. I think, as Bill Obrin 1243 01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,959 Speaker 1: has said numerous times, a three down running back. He's 1244 01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 1: not Arian Foster. They're different. And later in camp, I'm 1245 01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,280 Speaker 1: sure we'll talk about how they're different. But the fact 1246 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 1: that you have a three down running back that you 1247 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,520 Speaker 1: can rely on. And again, what do we always say 1248 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:34,080 Speaker 1: if he can just stay healthy? Right, if he can, oh, boy, well, 1249 01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,560 Speaker 1: and if he's your go to guy, remember hid it 1250 01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,120 Speaker 1: had only ten catches last year. David Johnson can have 1251 01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:41,960 Speaker 1: a whole lot more than that if he's healthy. All right, 1252 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,959 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson, who Bill O'Brien calls it every dawn back 1253 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,560 Speaker 1: five nine two hundred ten pounds out of the University 1254 01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:49,440 Speaker 1: of Miami, And the reason he calls him an every 1255 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,680 Speaker 1: down running back mark is because Duke can run the 1256 01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,080 Speaker 1: ball between the tackles. Remember that Buffalo game last year, 1257 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:57,400 Speaker 1: we can't get anything done. JJ gets the sack, they 1258 01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,280 Speaker 1: have to kick the fuel goal. The first play of 1259 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,720 Speaker 1: that drive where we scored, where Deshaun scored carrying guys 1260 01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,240 Speaker 1: in dance zone, was a Duke Johnson inside run, and 1261 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:10,600 Speaker 1: he just kind of sloomed his way through those guys 1262 01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,600 Speaker 1: to get a ten yard first down and kind of 1263 01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,720 Speaker 1: get things rolling. Duke can run the ball inside and 1264 01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,360 Speaker 1: be effective running the ball inside. But Duke does all 1265 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,680 Speaker 1: the little things for you. Remember how on that two 1266 01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,360 Speaker 1: point conversion he kind of peeled off and boxed out 1267 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:28,240 Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds from tackling to Shawn so Deshaun can get 1268 01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:30,280 Speaker 1: in the end zone. Duke does the little things. He's 1269 01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,160 Speaker 1: I think one of the smartest players on his team. 1270 01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:34,760 Speaker 1: He just seemed to pick everything up last year really well, 1271 01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,480 Speaker 1: I love everything about Duke. I think he and David 1272 01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,400 Speaker 1: are the perfect one two compliment for this offense and 1273 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,280 Speaker 1: what they want to do. As far as known come 1274 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,680 Speaker 1: out of these running the football, that's it. Everybody else 1275 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:48,840 Speaker 1: unknown commodities and doesn't mean they're not good though. Karan 1276 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,680 Speaker 1: Higg Dan five ten, two hundred two pounds out of 1277 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,200 Speaker 1: a University of Michigan. When I first saw Karan at 1278 01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,440 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl a couple of years ago, I remember 1279 01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 1: standing next to him thinking that program says five ten. 1280 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:02,640 Speaker 1: I was like, you're five nine. I didn't say that 1281 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,959 Speaker 1: to him, but that's why I felt. But I'd watched 1282 01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,120 Speaker 1: him at Michigan and I was like, this guy's fearless. 1283 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,760 Speaker 1: He's fearless. He runs inside, he is not scared to 1284 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,440 Speaker 1: run between the tackles, and at the Senior Bowl the 1285 01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:14,160 Speaker 1: entire time, I don't think I ever saw him bounce 1286 01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:17,599 Speaker 1: or run to the outside. He was determined to stay 1287 01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:19,400 Speaker 1: to the gap in the hole where the player was 1288 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:22,000 Speaker 1: supposed to go and keep that thing between the tackles 1289 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 1: and go north and south. He's not a dance runner. 1290 01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:28,400 Speaker 1: He's short, but he's not small. He's stock. He catch 1291 01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 1: the ball. I think does some good things. Good battle 1292 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,599 Speaker 1: for the number three spot, and he's gonna be writing 1293 01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:37,719 Speaker 1: that mix. Buddy how who shines in a preseason game 1294 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 1: last year, and he's a great special teams player, six 1295 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,599 Speaker 1: one third year FAU. I don't want to I don't 1296 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 1: want to want to make sure I say this, and 1297 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:50,840 Speaker 1: it is a compliment. Buddy doesn't waste any time he 1298 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,160 Speaker 1: gets the football and he goes downhill. If you're in 1299 01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 1: the way, he'll run you over, if you're at a 1300 01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 1: point where he maybe can make a one cut on 1301 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:04,000 Speaker 1: you and go. He doesn't dance. It is downhill all day, 1302 01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,000 Speaker 1: every day. And he's been so good on special teams 1303 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,080 Speaker 1: that we've we've wanted to have him around. He is 1304 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:12,200 Speaker 1: the he is the proverbial great teammate. He does anything 1305 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 1: he's asked to do. But I think we saw in 1306 01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,680 Speaker 1: that preseason game. I remember Dre getting excited about what 1307 01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:19,920 Speaker 1: he can do. There's no frills, there's what you see 1308 01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:21,799 Speaker 1: is what you get. You're gonna give him the football 1309 01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,320 Speaker 1: inside zone, maybe some outside zone, and he's going downhill 1310 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,720 Speaker 1: at you and get ready, you're gonna have to tackle 1311 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,680 Speaker 1: a two hundred and twenty pound back. Good luck with that, 1312 01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,519 Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Cullen Gillespia before we get 1313 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 1: to the undrafted rookie free agent as Gillespie a six 1314 01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:40,679 Speaker 1: two two thirty five out of an am Gillie he 1315 01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:44,919 Speaker 1: does so much. I think with Gillie, everybody knew Okay's 1316 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,640 Speaker 1: twelfth man. He's a special teams guy. He can do 1317 01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:49,639 Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. How much are they gonna 1318 01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 1: use a fullback? What are they gonna do? Well? In 1319 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,720 Speaker 1: that Buffalo game, he played a huge role in that game. 1320 01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 1: He made that key block under Shaun's touchdown run. He 1321 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:02,080 Speaker 1: can catch the football, he runs four or five. He's 1322 01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,080 Speaker 1: the kind of weapon you really want to have around 1323 01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:06,839 Speaker 1: because he'll learn everything he needs to learn on the offense. 1324 01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,120 Speaker 1: He'll do anything you ask him to do. You know, 1325 01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:12,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a rock star on special teams. So 1326 01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:15,519 Speaker 1: he's always going to be around. And in this world 1327 01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,760 Speaker 1: of COVID and do you know if you have it 1328 01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:19,600 Speaker 1: or you don't, could you go into a game and 1329 01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,000 Speaker 1: maybe you don't have it, maybe you have, maybe you 1330 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,040 Speaker 1: lose a running back because of that stuff. Well, you 1331 01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:26,639 Speaker 1: have a guy in call Glespie you can at least 1332 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:28,880 Speaker 1: rely on. He's as fast as anybody to have the 1333 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,960 Speaker 1: backfield at four or five, he's maybe faster than some 1334 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,160 Speaker 1: of the guys in the backfield. So I love having 1335 01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 1: him around. Hopefully we'll get a chance to see him 1336 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,360 Speaker 1: in practice here soon. I know he practiced on Friday. 1337 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,120 Speaker 1: I don't think you practiced on Saturday. But we'll see 1338 01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:41,639 Speaker 1: what's going on with him, and hopefully he's all right 1339 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:43,479 Speaker 1: and we'll get ready to go with him. I think 1340 01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,080 Speaker 1: he's just the type of the type of player that 1341 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:47,840 Speaker 1: you have to have in a roster. He's like the 1342 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:52,200 Speaker 1: Nate Ebner, Matt Slater type of player, that guy you 1343 01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:54,120 Speaker 1: gotta have to just do anything for your team, be 1344 01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,439 Speaker 1: a great leader and a great professional. All right, tell 1345 01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:59,960 Speaker 1: me about the rookie from all mess undrafted, Scottie Phillips five. 1346 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:04,559 Speaker 1: I've two hundred ten. He's thick, and I thought on 1347 01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,479 Speaker 1: Saturday or Friday at practice watching him that he had 1348 01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:09,120 Speaker 1: a little bit more juice than I remember. His best 1349 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,760 Speaker 1: game was right over there at Energy Stadium against Texas Tech. 1350 01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:13,880 Speaker 1: He just went nuts. Now, some people will say Texas 1351 01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,720 Speaker 1: Texas defense wasn't that great, which is true, but that 1352 01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,640 Speaker 1: was his first game in college after a couple of 1353 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:20,840 Speaker 1: years of juco and just blew it up two hundred 1354 01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:25,400 Speaker 1: and twenty plus yards and looked good. And he didn't 1355 01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:30,040 Speaker 1: really get back to that point. But he's thick, he's quick, 1356 01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:33,479 Speaker 1: he's got good short area burst. He's the kind of 1357 01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:36,519 Speaker 1: guy that I don't think would ever be your top guy, 1358 01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,800 Speaker 1: your top back, but I do think in depending on 1359 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 1: how things wait and shake out injury wise, he catches 1360 01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,200 Speaker 1: the ball. Okay, I think he'd be good in the 1361 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,400 Speaker 1: screen game. But he just like these other guys. They 1362 01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,800 Speaker 1: don't dance. They're not a bunch of dancers. Guys that 1363 01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:52,920 Speaker 1: are gonna make you miss. These guys get downhill in 1364 01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:57,160 Speaker 1: a hurry, and they're kind of shorter, stockier, quicker types. 1365 01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:59,559 Speaker 1: So a little getting that hole and that can make 1366 01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,160 Speaker 1: you miss a little bit if you need to, if 1367 01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,320 Speaker 1: they need to. So I like this. I like this 1368 01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,400 Speaker 1: group running backs. No people panted, they didn't drop the 1369 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,639 Speaker 1: running back. What are they gonna do? I don't think 1370 01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,200 Speaker 1: they really needed to, to be honest, Well, we're done 1371 01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,559 Speaker 1: with the running backs as far as those guys who 1372 01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,040 Speaker 1: played the position. However, I've got one more running element 1373 01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,759 Speaker 1: for you, and that would be the quarterback. DeShawn Watson 1374 01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:22,880 Speaker 1: his running game because he's probably the third, maybe even 1375 01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:26,240 Speaker 1: the second leading rusher on the twenty twenty Texans depending 1376 01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,599 Speaker 1: on how things go. What do you think of Watson 1377 01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:32,600 Speaker 1: as a runner. Well, my hope is that as Deshaun's 1378 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:37,600 Speaker 1: career continues, we see less and less of that from him, 1379 01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,880 Speaker 1: but the threat always has to be there, and I 1380 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,560 Speaker 1: think he'll want it to be there. I think I 1381 01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:46,479 Speaker 1: don't think he wants to carry the ball twenty times 1382 01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:49,000 Speaker 1: a game, but I do think when he sees something 1383 01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:52,240 Speaker 1: wide open on RPO and he can go ten to 1384 01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:54,599 Speaker 1: twelve yards and slide down without taking a hit, He's 1385 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,799 Speaker 1: gonna take it. And that I think is where DeShawn 1386 01:12:56,880 --> 01:13:00,559 Speaker 1: has gotten really really smart. Is can I steal five 1387 01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:02,800 Speaker 1: to seven yards, dive and get down and set up 1388 01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:05,559 Speaker 1: a second in three or a second and five. Yeah, 1389 01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:08,200 Speaker 1: I think he's learned how to do that. He's learned, Okay, 1390 01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:10,719 Speaker 1: I don't have to, you know, fly in the air 1391 01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:12,679 Speaker 1: and try and get this thing in the end zone. 1392 01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,880 Speaker 1: I can just get this game, next play, let's go. 1393 01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,639 Speaker 1: He I think he's under I think he's understanding more 1394 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:21,360 Speaker 1: now of what he can do in the run game 1395 01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:25,120 Speaker 1: and limit the hits that he takes as opposed to 1396 01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:27,719 Speaker 1: maybe earlier in his career where he was I say fearless, 1397 01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:29,479 Speaker 1: that wasn't the right word. But he's just trying to 1398 01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,479 Speaker 1: get everything he could, just trying to make big plays. 1399 01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,200 Speaker 1: I think he understands now, let those things come, and 1400 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:35,519 Speaker 1: when he needs to make a big play like the 1401 01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:37,560 Speaker 1: one against Buffalo, he pulls it, it takes off and 1402 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:39,680 Speaker 1: then carry these guys into the end zone. That's the thing. 1403 01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,480 Speaker 1: And that's it for our running back position group breakdown. 1404 01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,400 Speaker 1: And I'm glad that we included Watson because it is 1405 01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,360 Speaker 1: such a factor, his ability to take off with the ball. 1406 01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:52,280 Speaker 1: And you're right, the threat of it. The defense has 1407 01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,559 Speaker 1: to be aware. Now it's not to the extent of 1408 01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:59,400 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in Baltimore, because to me, Lamar Jackson, the 1409 01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:03,160 Speaker 1: threat of him running is terrifying to the d to 1410 01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:07,200 Speaker 1: the point where I think they're hesitant at times to 1411 01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:10,240 Speaker 1: come after him. You know, you're like, we gotta contain, 1412 01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,559 Speaker 1: we gotta contain, well contain all day long. Now you're 1413 01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:14,960 Speaker 1: not rushing him and he just sitting there back there 1414 01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:18,479 Speaker 1: picking you apart. You know, he's just hitting crossers all 1415 01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,280 Speaker 1: day long. And we saw that up close and personal. 1416 01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:26,440 Speaker 1: I think with these guys, whether it's Watson, maybe not Mahomes, 1417 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:30,320 Speaker 1: but whether it's Watson or Jackson. And Watson's different than Jackson, 1418 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,560 Speaker 1: I know that. But you got to come after a quarterback, 1419 01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, and look and take your lumps as they cut. Look, 1420 01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:37,599 Speaker 1: you came after Watson in the Buffalo game the Bills did, 1421 01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,160 Speaker 1: and look what happened at the very end where he 1422 01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:43,679 Speaker 1: escapes from a would be crushing blow sack and hits 1423 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:46,040 Speaker 1: the biggest play in the history of the franchise, nearly 1424 01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:50,320 Speaker 1: among them. Anyway, Look, okay, you've seen every single one. 1425 01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,559 Speaker 1: Let's do it. You brought it up. What let's let's 1426 01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,000 Speaker 1: just do it right now. Put it out there. Where 1427 01:14:55,000 --> 01:15:02,480 Speaker 1: does that play ranking, Johnny? Honestly, it's it's definitely top three. Okay, 1428 01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Cowboy game out of it, because 1429 01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 1: you know, like those are history making plays, yes, like 1430 01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:11,280 Speaker 1: the Billy Miller touchdown and all that. You know, the 1431 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,240 Speaker 1: Seth Payne sack and everything in that game. But look, 1432 01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:16,639 Speaker 1: let's be honest here. You know you're trying to win 1433 01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,360 Speaker 1: playoff games or get into the playoffs. So Kevin Walter 1434 01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:23,160 Speaker 1: in here are the top three. Kevin Walter all right 1435 01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:27,760 Speaker 1: touchdown against the Bengals, Watt pick six Bengals playoffs, and 1436 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:33,880 Speaker 1: Watson's escape and hitting Taiwan Jones for the field goal spot. 1437 01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,040 Speaker 1: That was a chip shot for fair band. They took 1438 01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:38,000 Speaker 1: all the drama out of that field goal. I mean 1439 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,880 Speaker 1: there's still drama too it don't get me wrong. And 1440 01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,519 Speaker 1: by the way, I think Andre Ware kicked the field 1441 01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 1: goal of the exact same distance or very similar distance 1442 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:50,360 Speaker 1: in a high school game. And I want to play 1443 01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,680 Speaker 1: that highlight maybe a little bit later on this week. 1444 01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,880 Speaker 1: We'll get Andrea on because we have the highlight. It's 1445 01:15:55,880 --> 01:16:01,080 Speaker 1: from Bill Lewis, who just passed recently Alvin Community College KCC, 1446 01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 1: k ACC radio and uh back of the Day and 1447 01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:07,960 Speaker 1: on ray kick to feel coal of that distance and 1448 01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,680 Speaker 1: there was fresher to it to win a football game anyway, 1449 01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:15,320 Speaker 1: um I digress. Look the Wat pick six, it's the 1450 01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,040 Speaker 1: first playoff win. It was huge and turned the tide 1451 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,519 Speaker 1: in that game. The Watson thing is no lower than 1452 01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,920 Speaker 1: maybe two. The Walter play is big two. Johnny. Now 1453 01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:29,640 Speaker 1: the degree it's those three, it's those three. It is 1454 01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,360 Speaker 1: without a doubt it I'm willing to entertain anything else. 1455 01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:34,640 Speaker 1: But let me tell you it's gonna be hard to 1456 01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:36,960 Speaker 1: bump any one of those three. I mean when you 1457 01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:41,479 Speaker 1: just when you think about the degree of difficulty, the 1458 01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:46,320 Speaker 1: degree of difficulty is probably the Shawn's was probably that's 1459 01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:48,960 Speaker 1: number one. That's number one. JJ is definitely number two 1460 01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:50,680 Speaker 1: because he had to jump up snatch it. I mean 1461 01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 1: he jumps going up to bat it and then he 1462 01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:56,720 Speaker 1: catches It's it's point blanks because we've seen what and 1463 01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:58,360 Speaker 1: I think last year he had one or two of 1464 01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:00,519 Speaker 1: those where oh it went right to his hands. It 1465 01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:02,400 Speaker 1: could have been picked off. But it's hard. I mean, 1466 01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:05,200 Speaker 1: it's hard to pick off of football for anybody at 1467 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,639 Speaker 1: that range. You know, you got a big defensive line, 1468 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean who has great hands, albeit, but still that 1469 01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,720 Speaker 1: thing's humming. You know, to actually come down with it, 1470 01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 1: and then you know, once once you come down with it, 1471 01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:18,559 Speaker 1: you're you're basically free to run to the end zone. 1472 01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,800 Speaker 1: That was close range, as opposed to say the one 1473 01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:26,559 Speaker 1: against Buffalo in twenty fourteen, where it was close range 1474 01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,160 Speaker 1: again as far as the pick, but then he had 1475 01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 1: to run a long way to get to the end 1476 01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,640 Speaker 1: zone and it was lost. I think Kareem was his 1477 01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:37,080 Speaker 1: escort into the end zone that day. But those are 1478 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,320 Speaker 1: those are the three though. But I mean, you think 1479 01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:43,519 Speaker 1: about the degree of difficulty of taking that car crash 1480 01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,360 Speaker 1: of bang bang and just spinning off it. The best 1481 01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:50,160 Speaker 1: part is him explaining it. He's on the sideline explaining 1482 01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:51,800 Speaker 1: like what he did and how he got out of it. 1483 01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:55,920 Speaker 1: It's like there's no explanation for no, no, no, It's 1484 01:17:55,960 --> 01:18:00,000 Speaker 1: like you just weren't going down. You weren't going down. 1485 01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,800 Speaker 1: You can't explain that when you're that gifted. It's like 1486 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,080 Speaker 1: Van Go trying to say, you know, starry Night, I 1487 01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,720 Speaker 1: just kind of painted some stuff. You know, I just 1488 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,600 Speaker 1: get the brush and I just start painting. You know, Picasso, 1489 01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:15,320 Speaker 1: I just start, you know, brushing and painting. How's the 1490 01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,599 Speaker 1: artist supposed to explain the art? You know, it just happens. 1491 01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:22,680 Speaker 1: And that is that's a combination of art, athleticism, all 1492 01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,559 Speaker 1: of it, because the presence of mind to not only 1493 01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:30,040 Speaker 1: escape and it's just like, oh, as far as degree 1494 01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:33,240 Speaker 1: of difficulty, O'Brien thinks your Eye Kick is a much 1495 01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:35,680 Speaker 1: more difficult play play because he does get kicked in 1496 01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:38,320 Speaker 1: the eye. We see that he has to actually check 1497 01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:42,559 Speaker 1: if his eyeball is still in the socket before he 1498 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:44,479 Speaker 1: throws the touchdown pass. And when you look at it 1499 01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:47,519 Speaker 1: in slow motion, you kind of see it, but in 1500 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:51,640 Speaker 1: fast motion, you think. And that's how you know they 1501 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,080 Speaker 1: talk about the game slowing down for you. Watson is 1502 01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:59,080 Speaker 1: operating in complete slow motion. You know, I'm checking to 1503 01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,439 Speaker 1: see if my eye is still attached to throw a 1504 01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,880 Speaker 1: touchdowna What's amazing about that play mark is the fact 1505 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:10,400 Speaker 1: that as soon as arden Key got to Deshaun and 1506 01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:16,920 Speaker 1: started kind of spinning him around, Fells new to keep moving, yeah, 1507 01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,680 Speaker 1: and to hear Whitehead, who was covering Fells, Fellas ran 1508 01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:24,080 Speaker 1: a little stick nod route and Whitehead like caught it perfectly. 1509 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,920 Speaker 1: He played it as perfectly as you could. But then 1510 01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:31,080 Speaker 1: when Whiteheads saw he wrap up Deshaan, he you can 1511 01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:34,880 Speaker 1: literally see him stop and Fells just continues for just 1512 01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:37,400 Speaker 1: a little bit, and then that's when he hits him 1513 01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,800 Speaker 1: with the ball. And it's like that kind of thing. 1514 01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,719 Speaker 1: Playing with a guy like DeShawn, it's so frustrating playing 1515 01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,080 Speaker 1: against him because you're timing and everything, you're rhythm of 1516 01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:47,759 Speaker 1: playing out the quarterbacks. He should go down. I shouldn't 1517 01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,760 Speaker 1: have to keep playing. But our guys know, hey, just 1518 01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:52,840 Speaker 1: keep playing because he's gonna get you the ball. He's 1519 01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:55,719 Speaker 1: gonna somehow stand up. You know, we talked Jordan Nakins 1520 01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:57,720 Speaker 1: about that. The offensive line too. How many times we 1521 01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,280 Speaker 1: talked to the offensive line about this, Hey, you gonna 1522 01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:04,240 Speaker 1: have to stay on these blocks and stay a little 1523 01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:06,280 Speaker 1: bit longer than you're used to. Titis talked about that. 1524 01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,160 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, getting used to having to sean back 1525 01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,600 Speaker 1: there as opposed to what I'm used to. You know, 1526 01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,360 Speaker 1: the timing is different. You know, I gotta stay on 1527 01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:14,479 Speaker 1: this a little bit longer. But if I do, I'm 1528 01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,439 Speaker 1: gonna give him an opportunity to get rid of football 1529 01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,760 Speaker 1: and make a play. So how about this? You did 1530 01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:22,439 Speaker 1: the tellustrator with David Johnson. Yea Arizona Kyler Murray made 1531 01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:24,720 Speaker 1: a nice play on you know, he just did you 1532 01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:29,120 Speaker 1: you paint the picture? Well, how there's nothing there? But 1533 01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:32,600 Speaker 1: then Johnson leaks out and it's really it could have 1534 01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,280 Speaker 1: almost been nothing anyway, because it's a lateral pass to 1535 01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 1: David Johnson and he could have been leveled by I 1536 01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:40,519 Speaker 1: think it was a dB Jackson, Yeah, trying to make 1537 01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:43,040 Speaker 1: a hitch. But David gets by him and then and 1538 01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:45,599 Speaker 1: then I thought he's gonna go outside on that play, 1539 01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,320 Speaker 1: but he goes inside, just smashes through two guys on 1540 01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 1: his way to the end zone. But here's my point. 1541 01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:54,519 Speaker 1: Remember the Carlos Hide play in London last year where 1542 01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:57,240 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, he just throws it backward lateral 1543 01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,720 Speaker 1: to him and Lows gets a first down. And there 1544 01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:03,000 Speaker 1: are their instances like that Lamar Miller against Seattle and things. 1545 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:05,439 Speaker 1: Everybody's got to have their head on a swivel. While 1546 01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:09,360 Speaker 1: when you're playing with Watson, David Johnson and Deshaun Watson 1547 01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:12,360 Speaker 1: in this offense, that's another thing to get excited about. 1548 01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:16,080 Speaker 1: As far as the improbability David knows. I mean, David 1549 01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,080 Speaker 1: played with Murray last year and made a couple of 1550 01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:21,040 Speaker 1: plays like that, and obviously he's got a good history. 1551 01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:24,120 Speaker 1: But a healthy David Johnson, not just the scripted stuff, 1552 01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:28,160 Speaker 1: but the unscripted element with David Johnson could get very 1553 01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:31,280 Speaker 1: exciting here. So that's something I'm looking forward to seeing. 1554 01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean, look, you'd love to all the scripted stuff 1555 01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:36,000 Speaker 1: to work out perfectly, but this is a coach's dream 1556 01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:40,320 Speaker 1: to have a player where all right, uh jokes, I 1557 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:42,920 Speaker 1: kick is exactly the way he drew it up. You know, 1558 01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,920 Speaker 1: this is this is my play. I mean, think about 1559 01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:49,960 Speaker 1: it at that particular point, and I hope I don't 1560 01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:51,920 Speaker 1: want him. This is not a knock. But if you 1561 01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:58,880 Speaker 1: remember that game, uh Larmy had gone out and Titus 1562 01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,400 Speaker 1: was banged up in the Kansas City game two weeks 1563 01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:06,720 Speaker 1: prior our tackles at that time, we're Dan Skipper and 1564 01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:09,120 Speaker 1: Chris Clark for I kick, for I kick, We're Dan 1565 01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:12,960 Speaker 1: Skipper and Chris Clark Skipper Dan Skipper. So when you 1566 01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 1: call plays a play caller and you realize, okay, you 1567 01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,360 Speaker 1: don't have not only do you not have your front 1568 01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:21,080 Speaker 1: your your top line guys out there at the two 1569 01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:23,160 Speaker 1: key spots where you need your front line guys, you 1570 01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:26,680 Speaker 1: don't have, and he still is able to make a 1571 01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:31,280 Speaker 1: play like that. It I mean, I forgot about that. 1572 01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:33,160 Speaker 1: Then when I went and didn't tell Straighter on I kick, 1573 01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 1: I was like, hold up, that's not Laramie. Hey wait 1574 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:38,960 Speaker 1: a second. I ran it back when I went, that's 1575 01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,400 Speaker 1: Skipper and Clark and he still makes that. But I 1576 01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:45,160 Speaker 1: have to do a list of plays that have names 1577 01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:50,559 Speaker 1: like hop spins, I kick, rosen Coopter, that's a negative one, 1578 01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:54,040 Speaker 1: but we have plays that have names and uh, and 1579 01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:56,559 Speaker 1: it's fun. Now, one more point I wanted to make 1580 01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:59,640 Speaker 1: about Watson running the football before we get to the 1581 01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 1: brand Done interview. That'll probably be the next segment. But uh, 1582 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:05,840 Speaker 1: you know you're saying, well, maybe you know now he's 1583 01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:07,519 Speaker 1: gonna do it less, and you'd like to see him 1584 01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:09,639 Speaker 1: do it less as the years going. And I think 1585 01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,120 Speaker 1: that that could happen, and that should happen as well. 1586 01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,439 Speaker 1: But I just think it's in him, you know. And 1587 01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:18,640 Speaker 1: it's it's a hard thing when you have the physical 1588 01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:22,040 Speaker 1: ability to take off with it. And like I said 1589 01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:25,960 Speaker 1: many times this offseason, he thinks he can fly, go airborne. 1590 01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:28,120 Speaker 1: I'm going for the pylon. I'm going I'm going up 1591 01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:29,720 Speaker 1: in the air now and I'm gonna get this ball 1592 01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:33,000 Speaker 1: across the pylon Michael Vick style or however, I'm gonna 1593 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,720 Speaker 1: do it. And you have the ability to do it, 1594 01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:37,479 Speaker 1: it's hard not to do it. I know I can 1595 01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,840 Speaker 1: do it. Why wouldn't I? You know, And I think 1596 01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:43,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a difficult thing for him. You know, 1597 01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,840 Speaker 1: obviously you want to and he's always got the eyes 1598 01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:47,800 Speaker 1: down field. It's not like he's looking to run first, 1599 01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:50,080 Speaker 1: but hey, I don't see anything right now, and I'm 1600 01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,519 Speaker 1: gonna make a play anyway. I trust him, I mean 1601 01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:55,720 Speaker 1: I trust him. I trust the fact that he has 1602 01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,679 Speaker 1: he's grown so much that he's not going to take 1603 01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:02,679 Speaker 1: a risk that is not calculated in some sense, because 1604 01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,280 Speaker 1: we've seen him. We've seen him slide down, we've seen 1605 01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,879 Speaker 1: him get five to seven yards. Even in Seattle seventeen 1606 01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:10,640 Speaker 1: when we played up there, he took he would they 1607 01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:13,559 Speaker 1: would run the zone read and Clark and whomever else 1608 01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 1: would bite. Michael Bennet would bideen the dive and he 1609 01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:18,160 Speaker 1: just go steal five seven yards and he just get 1610 01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,960 Speaker 1: on down at that point and take what he could. 1611 01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:24,320 Speaker 1: I think he picks and chooses spots when it feels like, hey, 1612 01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:26,559 Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta have this one. I think if 1613 01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:31,200 Speaker 1: if we were up twenty one seven in the fourth 1614 01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:33,519 Speaker 1: quarter or at the third, late in the third quarter, 1615 01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,320 Speaker 1: when he pulls that ball, the first touchdown he scored 1616 01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:39,280 Speaker 1: on where he carried, guys, yeah, we're up twenty one seven. 1617 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:42,880 Speaker 1: I think the first sign of a buffalo bill coming 1618 01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 1: to him, he slides down right, he gets down good point. 1619 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:50,080 Speaker 1: I think he plays the situation as you would want, 1620 01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:54,440 Speaker 1: rights as everybody would want.

So you know you're gonna have to 1778 01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:42,120 Speaker 1: They're gonna make do without me for a little bit. 1779 01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:44,800 Speaker 1: We just got to get through it somehow. But how 1780 01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:46,960 Speaker 1: has this bid for you? I mean, you've been through 1781 01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:50,040 Speaker 1: a lot in your career so far. How are you 1782 01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:53,920 Speaker 1: dealing with coronavirus and the distancing you and all the 1783 01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:58,080 Speaker 1: guys really? Well, first all of us, you know, uh, 1784 01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:01,320 Speaker 1: some guys more than most I fly, so they family first. 1785 01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:04,000 Speaker 1: You know, guys made a decision on playing this year, 1786 01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:08,000 Speaker 1: so you know, everybody's bought in, but just everybody personally 1787 01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:11,200 Speaker 1: in me, We're just trying to go through the protocols, 1788 01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:13,600 Speaker 1: do what they tell us to do, you know, understand, 1789 01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, testing, getting more educated about the virus, you know, 1790 01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:21,160 Speaker 1: quarantining immediate family. So I think everybody got to do 1791 01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:23,320 Speaker 1: more than what they've what they've done in the past 1792 01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:27,759 Speaker 1: to keep the season alive. So Anthony Weaver d line coach, 1793 01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:31,479 Speaker 1: but now defensive coordinator, is it different at all now 1794 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:34,120 Speaker 1: that he's the big boss of the entire defense and 1795 01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:39,599 Speaker 1: your position coach? How's that changed? If at all nothing's changed? Man? Uh, 1796 01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:42,720 Speaker 1: you know, coach. Weaver is a great coach man, uh, well, 1797 01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:46,040 Speaker 1: deserving for the coordinator job. And we just you know, 1798 01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:48,599 Speaker 1: we're just gonna keep getting better, you know. Right now, 1799 01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:52,559 Speaker 1: you know, uh, we're working two days unpaid, so it's 1800 01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:55,280 Speaker 1: still early for us, you know, with an unpresident year, 1801 01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:58,519 Speaker 1: you know, no OTAs or nothing like that. So we uh, 1802 01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:00,920 Speaker 1: we're just taking him back to the fundamentals of things 1803 01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:03,000 Speaker 1: right now. And we've just helping out. Man. He's having 1804 01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,800 Speaker 1: everybody out. Man. He's a good dude and a great 1805 01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:08,719 Speaker 1: coach at beer around and a former player helps helps 1806 01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:12,000 Speaker 1: you feel comfortable on all levels. So he talks to 1807 01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,759 Speaker 1: us and he can get through us faster than I'm guessing. 1808 01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:17,280 Speaker 1: You know a coach who doesn't he hasn't played in 1809 01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 1: those positions and certain stuff. He can give you a 1810 01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:22,360 Speaker 1: lot of good tips. It seems like you guys have 1811 01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 1: a lot of diversity on the d line, a lot 1812 01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:27,840 Speaker 1: of depth, guys with different skill sets. Can you speak 1813 01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:29,719 Speaker 1: to that a little bit. I mean, you and Angelo 1814 01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:31,960 Speaker 1: and JJ you've been around here, but a man of 1815 01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,360 Speaker 1: who year two you got Ross Blacklock a rookie.

The room is 1818 01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:42,040 Speaker 1: obviously you know, a ram by the veterans. But the 1819 01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:45,080 Speaker 1: young guys, they show up and they listen, they get better. 1820 01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:46,960 Speaker 1: The only day we ever asked him to do, you know, 1821 01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:51,559 Speaker 1: obviously you know the the Ross kid is, uh, you're 1822 01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:54,000 Speaker 1: gonna need him to help help us win. So I 1823 01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:57,400 Speaker 1: hope that you know he can take not even hit 1824 01:35:57,400 --> 01:35:59,880 Speaker 1: a rookie wall, you know, because this year and this 1825 01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:02,320 Speaker 1: I'm present, we don't need him to hit that wall. 1826 01:36:02,360 --> 01:36:05,080 Speaker 1: But he's got veterans to pick him up and have 1827 01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:08,280 Speaker 1: him out along the way because we're gonna he's gonna 1828 01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:11,759 Speaker 1: need somehow helps to get through this long season.

I feel like 1998 01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:54,120 Speaker 1: Rudy's father when he walks into the stadium in South 1999 01:45:54,160 --> 01:45:56,800 Speaker 1: Bend and says, this is the most beautiful site these 2000 01:45:56,840 --> 01:46:01,840 Speaker 1: eyes have seen. It's just glorious to be at practice 2001 01:46:02,200 --> 01:46:07,240 Speaker 1: on a seventy whatever degree day. This is ridiculous, Johnny. 2002 01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:10,439 Speaker 1: I feel like we have just completely beamed ourselves to 2003 01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:13,000 Speaker 1: the Greenbrier. I feel like we should be getting up 2004 01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:16,200 Speaker 1: in the end zone stands here a little bit overlooking 2005 01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:18,720 Speaker 1: and seeing all these mountains. I mean, I do see 2006 01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:21,280 Speaker 1: the skyline down down, so I mean that's, you know, 2007 01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:25,120 Speaker 1: some visual, but it's just different. I mean, to be 2008 01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:28,559 Speaker 1: here on August seventeenth to feel this, and I feel 2009 01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:30,519 Speaker 1: bad because how many times we had fans out here 2010 01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:33,960 Speaker 1: and fans have just been dying. And he stands from then, 2011 01:46:34,040 --> 01:46:36,479 Speaker 1: and we never had a day like this, never ever. 2012 01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:41,080 Speaker 1: This is unprecedented Yeah, it's weird. In fact, if it 2013 01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:43,200 Speaker 1: was like this all the time, no matter what piece 2014 01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:46,719 Speaker 1: of property you own in Houston, multiply that by five 2015 01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:52,280 Speaker 1: times its value, if this were the weather all summer long, exact. Okay, 2016 01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:55,200 Speaker 1: amen to that. So they're doing some special team stuff 2017 01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:56,880 Speaker 1: right in front of us, all right, some things that 2018 01:46:57,000 --> 01:46:58,920 Speaker 1: jump out at me, Johnny, as I'm looking at the 2019 01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:02,599 Speaker 1: guys in full path. Yeah, well you were talking about 2020 01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:06,000 Speaker 1: Corn Higden, and my goodness, he's like I don't know 2021 01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:08,680 Speaker 1: what to call him, mini Fridge or something. He is. 2022 01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:12,599 Speaker 1: He's low to the ground. You just get the feeling 2023 01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:15,559 Speaker 1: that he could be a big problem to tackle, you know, 2024 01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:17,760 Speaker 1: will you be able to find him? And then when 2025 01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:20,160 Speaker 1: you do, he might break it, you know. So that's 2026 01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:22,599 Speaker 1: one thing. Now, the numbers, me being the play by 2027 01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:25,519 Speaker 1: play guy, the numbers jump out at you. Some of them, 2028 01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:27,880 Speaker 1: Like seeing a twenty four out there, which is Higden. 2029 01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:31,360 Speaker 1: Thank goodness that twenty four formerly J Joe is now 2030 01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:35,040 Speaker 1: an offense number. That's that's a big help to me. Right. 2031 01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:38,120 Speaker 1: Twenty eight is weird, Michael Thomas, because I'm still seeing 2032 01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:42,200 Speaker 1: Alfred Blue out there. Okay when I see twenty eight. Yeah, 2033 01:47:42,640 --> 01:47:45,519 Speaker 1: here's another one. Will Fuller without the dreads in full 2034 01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:49,280 Speaker 1: uniform is really different. You know when I when I 2035 01:47:49,320 --> 01:47:51,759 Speaker 1: glanced over there, I thought, that doesn't look like Will 2036 01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:55,519 Speaker 1: from a distance, because you're so used to identify, you know, 2037 01:47:55,600 --> 01:47:59,040 Speaker 1: players with dreads. You identify them by the dreads, you know. 2038 01:47:59,080 --> 01:48:02,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just one of the key key indicators 2039 01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:05,400 Speaker 1: right there. So that's something that jumps out to me. 2040 01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:10,120 Speaker 1: You mentioned Ross Blacklock, the rookie defensive lineman wearing number ninety. 2041 01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:14,240 Speaker 1: He just looks so sprite, you know, he looks so 2042 01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:17,519 Speaker 1: light on his feet for a near three hundred pounder. Yes, 2043 01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:19,479 Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing about him. And then when 2044 01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:22,840 Speaker 1: you get even closer and you see how he's cut, Yeah, 2045 01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:27,719 Speaker 1: you're you know, just how he's molded. You realize, dah, 2046 01:48:27,960 --> 01:48:30,479 Speaker 1: come and you watch him Mark, it's the same thing 2047 01:48:30,520 --> 01:48:33,800 Speaker 1: because he's agile, he's I said this too. I was 2048 01:48:33,840 --> 01:48:36,639 Speaker 1: talking to Clint and Sean this weekend. They were doing 2049 01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:38,760 Speaker 1: a show from two to six, which you gotta check 2050 01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:40,599 Speaker 1: out the weekend shows on Sports Trade at six ten 2051 01:48:40,640 --> 01:48:43,160 Speaker 1: as guys did a heck of a job, and they 2052 01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:44,880 Speaker 1: were asking me about Blacklock, and I said, he almost 2053 01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:48,880 Speaker 1: plays like a defensive line linebacker, because he'll do one 2054 01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:51,200 Speaker 1: or two things. He'll either use his quickness and power 2055 01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:53,120 Speaker 1: to penetrate and run up field and chase guys down 2056 01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:55,639 Speaker 1: from behind, or he'll play off a block and then 2057 01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:58,360 Speaker 1: be like a linebacker and use his quickness and agility 2058 01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:01,360 Speaker 1: to like scrape down the line and go find the ball. 2059 01:49:01,600 --> 01:49:04,040 Speaker 1: And it's kind of it's it's different. It's kind of 2060 01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:09,400 Speaker 1: the way the way stylistically that Aaron Donald plays. That's 2061 01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:11,160 Speaker 1: kind of the way he plays. Now I'm not seeing 2062 01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:13,719 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, but that's kind of the way that Donald 2063 01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:16,879 Speaker 1: plays because Aaron Donald has that sort of foot quickness, 2064 01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:20,280 Speaker 1: that agility to kind of work through chaos and kind 2065 01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:22,559 Speaker 1: of straight down the line basically and go make a 2066 01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:25,600 Speaker 1: tackle on the ball. So he's got that. And I 2067 01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:27,679 Speaker 1: saw that at TCU a number of times. He would 2068 01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:28,680 Speaker 1: go make a play on the other side of the 2069 01:49:28,760 --> 01:49:31,160 Speaker 1: field and I'm like, heck, could you do that? And 2070 01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:33,760 Speaker 1: I'd run it back and realize he basically just kind 2071 01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:36,760 Speaker 1: of avoided He's using his quickness and his feet kind 2072 01:49:36,760 --> 01:49:38,439 Speaker 1: of avoided all the trash in front of him to 2073 01:49:38,439 --> 01:49:40,320 Speaker 1: go make a tackle down a line of scrimmage. So 2074 01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:44,920 Speaker 1: he's a pretty impressive dude. There's no doubt quarterbacks had 2075 01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:50,240 Speaker 1: read jerseys. Of course, the hands off jerseys. Offensive linemen 2076 01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:57,840 Speaker 1: working out and so Gerald Hawkins tackle from LSU. Three 2077 01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:02,599 Speaker 1: hundred five pounds, six six. He's an imposing presence. Charlie 2078 01:50:02,640 --> 01:50:06,120 Speaker 1: Heck who's six eight out of North Carolina, the rookie 2079 01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:10,280 Speaker 1: they drafted him. He's nearly three hundred and sixty four. 2080 01:50:10,360 --> 01:50:12,679 Speaker 1: He's another presence. I mean, these guys, I mean, look, 2081 01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:15,599 Speaker 1: tackles are big, I get it, but they just looked 2082 01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:17,640 Speaker 1: a part out there. They look like they belong at 2083 01:50:17,720 --> 01:50:19,960 Speaker 1: least in the early going here. But let's let's see 2084 01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:21,880 Speaker 1: what happens when they get into these individuals they are 2085 01:50:21,880 --> 01:50:24,200 Speaker 1: about to undertake today. You know, Mark, I think about 2086 01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:26,400 Speaker 1: that a lot. I don't know why I got to think. 2087 01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:29,160 Speaker 1: In about week two or twenty fifteen, we went to 2088 01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:31,680 Speaker 1: play Carolina. I don't know why I was thinking about this, 2089 01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:35,120 Speaker 1: but I remember Jeff Adams started for US at tackle 2090 01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:37,200 Speaker 1: and he ended up getting hurt in that game, unfortunately. 2091 01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:39,840 Speaker 1: But you know, in no offense to Jeff, but Jeff, 2092 01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:41,720 Speaker 1: you know Jeff, you know it was kind of a 2093 01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:44,719 Speaker 1: gritty technician, you know, smart guy in the IVY League. 2094 01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:47,720 Speaker 1: You think about that kind of player and think about 2095 01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:49,599 Speaker 1: Jeff and then you think about what now is over 2096 01:50:49,640 --> 01:50:52,719 Speaker 1: there in an offensive line, and it's night and day different. 2097 01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:54,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you think on an offensive line. Obviously, we've 2098 01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:57,599 Speaker 1: talked a lot mark about the five guys being together 2099 01:50:58,439 --> 01:51:04,519 Speaker 1: upfront with Lara, Me and Max Nick Zach and with 2100 01:51:04,800 --> 01:51:06,519 Speaker 1: Tyus Howard as we get a few drops of rain 2101 01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:09,519 Speaker 1: down here by the way, those guys have obviously all 2102 01:51:09,560 --> 01:51:14,479 Speaker 1: started together, but everybody behind them has started as well. 2103 01:51:14,760 --> 01:51:17,799 Speaker 1: Greg Mann started a full season sixteen s. Snail Clemente 2104 01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:21,880 Speaker 1: has started a number of years at different points. Rod 2105 01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:25,120 Speaker 1: Johnson started for this team a couple of times last year. 2106 01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:28,479 Speaker 1: Jerald Hawkins has started before. Brent Quality, number seventy six, 2107 01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:31,599 Speaker 1: who always forget who that is. He's got starting experience 2108 01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:35,719 Speaker 1: out a ton, but starting experiencing the NFL. Every guy 2109 01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:40,200 Speaker 1: behind the guy has played and started before for this 2110 01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:42,320 Speaker 1: offensive line. That's not something I think they've ever had 2111 01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:45,240 Speaker 1: on the offensive line all the way through the top nine, 2112 01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:49,519 Speaker 1: top ten guys. All right, So Jordan Thomas and Darren Fells, 2113 01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm looking at them full uniform standing right in front 2114 01:51:52,120 --> 01:51:55,080 Speaker 1: of me and Thomas when you see Thomas in the hallway. 2115 01:51:55,320 --> 01:51:59,000 Speaker 1: He is massive right. Fells though is six seven. He's 2116 01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:01,920 Speaker 1: a couple of inches taller than him. But you were 2117 01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,519 Speaker 1: mentioning to me when you saw Thomas for the first 2118 01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:07,439 Speaker 1: time this camp. He thought, my goodness, he just looks 2119 01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:09,760 Speaker 1: more chiseled. Yeah, for lack of a better way of 2120 01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:13,519 Speaker 1: putting it, this year, and I can definitely verify that. 2121 01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:16,439 Speaker 1: And I think that you know his blocking game. I'm 2122 01:52:16,479 --> 01:52:19,120 Speaker 1: eager to see how he's improved in that category, Johnny, 2123 01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:21,280 Speaker 1: because that's a key factor for him, and he's got 2124 01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:23,320 Speaker 1: the body to do it. I mean, you look, you 2125 01:52:23,360 --> 01:52:25,439 Speaker 1: look at the lower body of Thomas and he should 2126 01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:27,439 Speaker 1: be able to move people out of the way. And 2127 01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:29,360 Speaker 1: if he could do that along with the receiving skills, 2128 01:52:29,360 --> 01:52:32,680 Speaker 1: you're looking at great possibilities there at that position. And 2129 01:52:32,880 --> 01:52:36,439 Speaker 1: nobody for the most part, comes from the college game 2130 01:52:36,640 --> 01:52:40,479 Speaker 1: as a tight end able, ready and able to block 2131 01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:43,040 Speaker 1: like you see a guy like Gronk or a guy 2132 01:52:43,040 --> 01:52:44,960 Speaker 1: like George Kiddle or anything. It takes a while. And 2133 01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:47,759 Speaker 1: considering that JT played a lot of receiver his final 2134 01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:49,760 Speaker 1: year in Mississippi State, he's sort of lost a lot 2135 01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:52,000 Speaker 1: of those reps that you would have, so it takes 2136 01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:54,400 Speaker 1: a little while to get used to, Hey, man, I 2137 01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:57,559 Speaker 1: gotta block this six four, two hundred and seventy pound 2138 01:52:57,640 --> 01:53:02,080 Speaker 1: defensive end like Nick Bosa or Joe Bosa or you 2139 01:53:02,120 --> 01:53:04,880 Speaker 1: know justin Houston. Gonna block these guys. I didn't have 2140 01:53:04,920 --> 01:53:06,679 Speaker 1: to block these guys in the SEC, So it takes 2141 01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:08,800 Speaker 1: a little while for that part of the game. I 2142 01:53:08,840 --> 01:53:11,960 Speaker 1: think for you know, in line tight ends especially, they 2143 01:53:11,960 --> 01:53:14,520 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of experience to get get that experience. 2144 01:53:14,680 --> 01:53:16,640 Speaker 1: But hopefully he's getting it. But he I think he 2145 01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:19,080 Speaker 1: looks really good right now. Another thing that's super cool 2146 01:53:19,200 --> 01:53:21,439 Speaker 1: is the video board here. I tweeted it out at 2147 01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:23,479 Speaker 1: Texans Voice.
