1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Bill's quick past the dank

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: gard with the sack back at the twenty five yard line, touchdown.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Your stand, rock and Roll, Treyland, Coast to coast. There

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: is no off season for your Houston Texans. Game day

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: is every day now. It's Texans All Exans. Welcome on,

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: everybody to a Wednesday edition of Texans All Access, or

8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: as we like to call it here in the building,

9
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Desert. I'm your host, John Harris, football Analyst,

10
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: Sideline Reporto alongside the creator of that particular name, the Desert,

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: the voice of the Texans, Mark Vanimir Mark, would you

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: like to tell the people why it is now the

13
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: deserts Well? I wrote my daily brew on Houston Texans

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: dot com and the Texans App on this subject, and

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: I called the piece the Break. I wasn't going to

16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: call it the desert. It sounds negative, and the negativity

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: of it, it's not even negative. The guys need a break, right,

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Coaches need a break, players need a break. You have

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: a long season ahead of you. I don't mean that

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: in a bad way. It's a long haul. Seventeen games

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: plus the preseason. We all know it. So I call

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: it the desert because for us as a content team,

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: and let's face it, it's all about us. More specifically,

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: it's all about me. But the desert means we don't

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: really interview anybody during this time between now and training camp.

26
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple here and there, but Lovey Smith is

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: going away for a bit. Nick's gonna take some time.

28
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: We talked to him about that ourselves, and we store

29
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: up now. I'm gonna go mixed metaphor on you acorns

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: for the winter, but it's not the winter. What are

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: you storing up for the desert? Camel? You know, water

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: or the hump? Well, I don't know. We're getting some

33
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: storage here of content. You and I interviewed twenty five

34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: players the other day. We had numerous content pieces created

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: on Monday. We've got a lot of great stuff that

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: we have yet to air. We have interviews with former players,

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: we got all sorts of great stuff, Texans legends. So

38
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: I call it the desert because we're living through it

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: as a content team, and I think the fans too. Johnny,

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: you don't get a ton of NFL news between now.

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: It goes dry. Yeah, basically it goes dry for the

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: most part. What you don't want over the desert the

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: break is any of your team's news breaking. That's a

44
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: good point. You don't want any You want to hear

45
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: your team's name at all popping up on the social media,

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: popping up wherever you get your news. If you hear, oh,

47
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: the Texas, okay, then that's not great news. Just listen.

48
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: Every key member of the team that needs to be

49
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: resigned has signed an extension and that's the only positive

50
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: thing that can happen. If your team gets brought up,

51
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: then oh, so you want it to be dry for

52
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: the team, dry for us, But we got plenty of

53
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: content for you. We're gonna hear from Pep Hamilton a

54
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: little bit later. He had a chance too well, he

55
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: caught up with Drew. Drew would say he caught up

56
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: with Pep, but I think Pep actually caught up with Drew.

57
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: Would I like to hear heard that interview flip where

58
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: Pep was actually interviewing Drew Doherty. But we're gonna talk

59
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: about Pepping a little bit. But we also had a

60
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: chance to catch up with wide receivers coach Ben McDaniels,

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: and of course we wanted to know how it was going.

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: It was a great experience. It always is in the springtime.

63
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: Really great to spend as much time as we did

64
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: in the meeting room and uh and just pushing ourselves

65
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: mentally in there and then get out here and get

66
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: some real, real valuable experience on a field together as

67
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: as players and coaches, and my group always brings great,

68
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: great focus and energy and effort to practice and on

69
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: the field. So it was a really productive SPRINGTI, coach,

70
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: What does this guy like Brandon cooks me? Not only

71
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: to you as a coach, were also to your wide

72
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: receiver leak Um. I mean the list is really honestly, Yeah,

73
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: the list is long. Um. He's a he's a pro

74
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: and all the ways that that we always hope as coaches. UM. Great,

75
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: great mindset, very intentional about how he goes about his

76
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: job both in the building and on the practice field.

77
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: And I think every guy in the receiver room recognizes

78
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: that and uh and and hopefully tries to take pieces

79
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: of that for their own. Ben McDaniels with us, Ben

80
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: for the receivers, how is this year's offense different than

81
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: last year's? UM? I mean it's it's different. Uh obviously

82
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: change over systems. Um. So UM, it's it's different in

83
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: plenty of ways. UM you know, Uh, you know, terminology

84
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: and and uh when you change over a system, there's

85
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: plenty of things that mentally you gotta you gotta get wired.

86
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: Um you know, and they've they've done a good job

87
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: of of attacking that challenge. UM. But really every offseason

88
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: you're trying to week can change and um, and that's

89
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: part of every offseason. But uh, this year, for sure, Uh,

90
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: it's some it's some different pieces parts in the system

91
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: and everybody. It's important to have this offseason. We got

92
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: like Eko Collins who didn't play it in twenty twenty.

93
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: Then it's a rookie last year. Now he goes into

94
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: his first offseason. Yere, how important was the off season

95
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: for Nico? Was a progress you saw for Nico? It

96
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: was it was huge, Yeah, it was huge. Um. All

97
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: all your points are valid. Um. So just clearly, any

98
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: reps that that we can take uh, either in the

99
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: meeting room or on the practice field have extreme value

100
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: um to really everybody, you know, uh, to Nico, Uh,

101
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: to the other guys in that room, to us as coaches.

102
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: So UM, I think, uh, you know he was he

103
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: was he was healthy and and uh had had great

104
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: effort and intention about what he was trying to get

105
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: done this offseason, growing in every way, both mentally and physically.

106
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: How about Philip dors said, he looks very active out

107
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: making a contribution did last year until the injury. How's

108
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: he progressing? UM? Happy for Philip? Um. You know he's

109
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: he's attacked the off season. UM in the weight room

110
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: and in the meeting room and out here on the

111
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: practice field. And Um he's really uh, you know, he's

112
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: to be honest with He's like a lot of the

113
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: guys in the receiver room right now that had had

114
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: a good off season. Uh, you know, uh, both physically

115
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: and mentally. And Um had a really valuable, valuable spring

116
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: for for himself and us. Ben. You've coached young guys

117
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: in college, You've coached seasoned vets, a guy like Brandon

118
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: Cooks we talked about earlier. How does he approach to

119
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: change in coaching college and younger receivers as opposed to

120
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL because they've been around for a

121
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: little bit, I said, families and or grown men. If

122
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: you will how do I approach the difference in the

123
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: in the two, Um. You know, I think I try

124
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: and understand who they are as a person. I think

125
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: that's our job as coaches, UM. And you know at

126
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: any level is understand the players that you're coaching what's

127
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: important to them, UM, what's important to them both from

128
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: a football standpoint and outside of football standpoint, so you

129
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: can connect and and earn their respect in a lot

130
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: of different ways. UM. So I don't really think that

131
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: part of it changes how old you are, UM, and

132
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: then the football part, UM. I just I try to

133
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: do my best to challenge to players both mentally and

134
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: physically to grow their game. Uh. That's a that's a

135
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: broad statement, and it means a little bit different, you know,

136
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: depending on how old you are and what you've learned

137
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: U at that that point in your career. But I'm

138
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: trying to grow, you know, Cookie, just just as much

139
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: as I'm trying to go grow the rookie that walks

140
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: into the building. Ben. What about the rookie John Metschi

141
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: and how you coach him while he's on the way

142
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: back from injury. You know, we see him out here,

143
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: but he's not able to do everything just yet, how

144
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: do you approach that? Just find as many Uh, there's

145
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: many different ways to really attack the mental side. To

146
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: be honest, Um, you know, he's putting a lot of

147
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: time and effort into his rehab and when he's healthy,

148
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: he's healthy. But we spend as much time as we

149
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: possibly can in various ways, you know, stretching his mental

150
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: ability and making sure he grasps the system along the

151
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: way even though he's not getting those physical reps on

152
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: the field. What's your advice to the young guys going

153
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: into For some of them, their first break mark calls

154
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: at the desert because there's really nothing going on. It's

155
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: dry aspecially from us. But what do you advise them

156
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: on before they come back for training camp? Yeah, we

157
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: don't talk a lot about staying in shape because the

158
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: truth is, like they know that it's a it's a

159
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: year round, stay in shape kind of job and they

160
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: you know, I trust them to be professional that way.

161
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: To me. You know, we're all going to turn football

162
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: off a little bit in the summertime. Um, I think

163
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: that I think that it's okay for all of us

164
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: to love football and and love the little bit of

165
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: time that we have in the summer to spend with

166
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: our family and friends, and um kind of recharge a

167
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: little bit. So everybody's gonna turn foot ball off a

168
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: little bit, but I just tell them, let's make sure

169
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: we turn football onto. Okay, let's just not turn it

170
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: off and show back up and in the end of July,

171
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: let's make sure we turn it on. Uh you know,

172
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: really mentally as much as anything, um, throughout the throughout

173
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: the break and uh no steps back when we get back.

174
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: What do you like to do? Play? Golf, eat, skydive?

175
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: What is it best? So I have a nine year old,

176
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: a six year old, and a one year old, So

177
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: all the things that you're talking about have have no

178
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: affiliation with my life at all. Familiar. Most of my yea,

179
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: most of my time. I really love spending it's much

180
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: time with my kids, and um, you know, we'll we'll

181
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: spend some time around the pool, whether it's my own

182
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: or whether it's somebody else's because of how awesome it

183
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: is to live in Houston. We'll take a break and

184
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: head down to my favorite spot in Florida for a

185
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: little time in July. But other than that, um, you know,

186
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: spend time with the family, friends, man thanks a lot,

187
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: have a great break. You got it. You guys too, Mark.

188
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: I've thought a lot about this wide receiver crew, and

189
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: I watched coaches coach, and that was why I asked

190
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: the question. When you have players that are professionals that

191
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: seemingly have heard it, are know it all, a guy

192
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: like Brandon Cooks, I think the best player to have

193
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: on your team is a player that is that good

194
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: and yet still that coachable. And that's why I asked

195
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: that of Ben, because how much coaching do you actually do? Well?

196
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: The thing is the great ones actually want that coaching.

197
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: I can see Brandon looking to Ben like looking for

198
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: tips and pointers and things, whereas there are guys like naa, man,

199
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm good, I got it. Those are the guys you

200
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: just don't want. But you see guy Brandon Cooks, He's

201
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: the ultimate because he wants to be coached every single day.

202
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: And Ben McDaniels is definitely they got to do that well.

203
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Cooks is one of those guys. I think Dorset is

204
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: mini Cooks that I respect. He's been around not as

205
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: long as Cooks, but it's not like it hasn't been

206
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: a bit here. Yeah, he's been around a bit and

207
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: he has seen some things. He worked with Andrey Johnson

208
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: before he got drafted, played with Andre for the Colts,

209
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: which still makes me want to throw up in my

210
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: mouth that Andrey Johnson was a cold even for a

211
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: brief amount of time. But I like doors Set on

212
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: this team. I think the presence of Dorset and Cooks

213
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: can really help. And I've said it from the beginning

214
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: of OTA's After what I saw last year, I think

215
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: Doorseton helped this football team. I can't wait to see Metchi.

216
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: We all can't wait to see Metchi. But Metchi's not

217
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: available just yet, so we just have to wait. We

218
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: want to see Niko in year two. The group has

219
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: some potential here when you're looking at it on paper,

220
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: when the outsiders are looking at it's like, I don't know,

221
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, when teams are loaded at wide receiver, I

222
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: get it, but Cooks is one of the best wide

223
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL period. The other guys have to

224
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: rise to the occasion. Doors Set as good ability to

225
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: help this squad, And Johnny, I wanted to ask you

226
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: about this. Can I bring this up now? Of course? Okay,

227
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: we don't normally talk about formations and things like that

228
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: at practice, but they were in a two minute situation

229
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: today where they needed a field goal to win, right

230
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: and with the ones at one point, and I know

231
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: they're not gonna mind me saying this, they took out

232
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: all the top receivers, if you will, and they put

233
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: in a second group and maybe even a third group

234
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: and some depending on how you want to look at it.

235
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: And the groups are going to change. I get it.

236
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: But they took out cooks in doors set and they

237
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: put them, put some of the other guys in there

238
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: with Mills and with the starting old line, and said,

239
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: go to work, try to get the field goal done,

240
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: try to get into field goal range at the very least.

241
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: And they did a nice job. They did a nice

242
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: job for Davis, And I thought that was interesting. If

243
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: you're a guy like Ben McDaniels, that's your group, all

244
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: the layers, you want to see them do well. They

245
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: get that opportunity to be out there with Mills, they

246
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: took advantage of it. It's such a good thing. And

247
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: yet I'm sure that Ben McDaniels walks back to his

248
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: office and going, yeah, my guys look good today, like

249
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: you feel good about it. But then you're like I

250
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: gotta cut some of these guys. That's gonna be that.

251
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: And we've been around enough teams to know there's always

252
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: a guy or so in your group that you know, okay,

253
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: that we know that dudes, he's getting cut. We know

254
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. But you watch these receivers and it's

255
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: pretty similar to the running backs, And of course the

256
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: running backs have been running on air, so get it.

257
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: But you just watch the running backs do good things

258
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: every single day, and you watch the receivers. I'm waiting

259
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: for a receiver to have the drops one day. I'm

260
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: waiting for a receiver to not run the right route,

261
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: to not make the right read repeatedly. I just don't.

262
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: I just don't see that. Even Metchi, Like I watched

263
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: Metchi at times just during practice, like he's not working out,

264
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: he's doing a workout before practice starts. But he's right

265
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: there with the drills. He's right there with the receivers.

266
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: He's always slapping fives with guys that are coming off

267
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: the field after making big catches. He's always involved in it.

268
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: I said this to you the other day when we

269
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: had those interviews. Twenty five guys came in and some

270
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: of them are new. Some of them are actually new

271
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: to us even though they were maybe here last year.

272
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: And I would look at you at some point when

273
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: they leave and go, I get it. I get why

274
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: the Texans went out signed that guy or drafted that guy.

275
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: And I totally see it with MATCHI, even though we

276
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: having a chance to sit down with him in the studio,

277
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: but just watching him at practice, you'd get it. You

278
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: see the things that that we're talked about that were

279
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: assets of his at Alabama, and how much a professional

280
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: he was even at Alabama, the fact that he kind

281
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: of had he knew how to he knew how to

282
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: go about his daily routine, he knew how to be

283
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: a good teammate. He did the little things. He ran

284
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: routes really well. But you just see that as him

285
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: just being a teammate too, shaking hands, you know, fist bumping,

286
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: dapping up guys as they go. But I've seen I mean,

287
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: yesterday Chris Moore made a tremendous catching the end zone.

288
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: I've seen Chris Moore make a number of plays. I've

289
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: always been a Chris Moore fan. I think he, like

290
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: last year, could find a way to impact this team.

291
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: Chris Connley had a deep ball man, it was nice,

292
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: and was sitting in a cover two and a rookie

293
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: that we all love kind of got called his eyes

294
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: in the backfield a little bit. I think Conny was

295
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: reading him. I think Chris was reading him if he

296
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: had if he had dropped, I think he would have

297
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: darted underneath on a dig route. But if he sat low,

298
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: he was gonna hit it and go. And he and

299
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: Davis are on the same page. And David's just launched

300
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: one and it was beautiful. The receivers have all really

301
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: done well. And when they went down in the red

302
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: zone the last couple of days, those guys have made plays.

303
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: They made sliding catches, they made catches in the back

304
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: of the end zone. Uh. Nico has had a couple

305
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: of back shoulder balls that he caught six inches off

306
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: the turf. That receiver crew. Yes, the names nationally people

307
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: may not know other than Brandon Okay, Brandon Cooks. We

308
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: know Brandon Cooks, he's been out of but we get it.

309
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: But then Nico Collins, then people know Metis has been

310
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: with Alabama. But Nico Collins, Chris Moore, Chris Connolly, those

311
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: guys that last year made plays at times, are continuing

312
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: to make plays, and that's been really fun to see.

313
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: It has been fun. Johnny, you brought up cuts and

314
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: it's way too early to talk about this, but yeah,

315
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: I think the number is interesting because with the practice

316
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: squad expanded, all right, you have fifty three plus sixteen

317
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: right there. Not that all sixteen are coming from your squad,

318
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: but I think guys that are practice squad likely on

319
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: this team for lack of a better way of putting it.

320
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna name who they are. The coach's no,

321
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: and Nick knows more than I do about that, but

322
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: those guys have a good chance to catch out of

323
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: somebody else's practice squad in all likelihood as well. But

324
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: you're already up to sixty nine players right there that

325
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have in the building. Plus you'll have four

326
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: or five a R. Now you're into the seventies. You

327
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: got ninety guys here, So look how many guys aren't

328
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna make It's still you know, a significant number. It's

329
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty players that you're gonna never see again.

330
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: Well I shouldn't put it that way, but you're not

331
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: gonna see you know, come September first, or come opening day.

332
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: But some of those guys will be on a sort

333
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: of an unofficial taxi couch squad where they might be

334
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: on their couch. They're staying in shape and they can

335
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: come back and help you, or they're gonna help another

336
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: team or whatever. So it's not the end of the

337
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: world necessarily if you're in that group, but it is tough.

338
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: It is tough to make these decisions and get it

339
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: down to fifty three. You just have so much more

340
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: flexibility with the new practice squad rules since COVID and

341
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: I love those. I love just letting guys stay around.

342
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: You just never know when that's going to turn into something. Obviously,

343
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: a guy like Harry and Foster we know about over

344
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: the years, but you just never know who is gonna

345
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: get that opportunity to be on a practice squad. One

346
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: of the more famous ones is James Harrison. I mean,

347
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: James Harrison just stuck around on practice squads. He kept

348
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: getting cut, kept getting way, but stay in the practice squad,

349
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he finally got a

350
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: shot in special teams, and then he turned into debo.

351
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: He became the most feared edge rusher in the game,

352
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: fight through practice squads, so you just never know where

353
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna start. But I think the one thing, as

354
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: to your point, Mark, this is your squad like this,

355
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: this is it. These guys are gonna be around for

356
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: the most part. You kind of detailed it very very well.

357
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: Some guy's gonna get injured. Yeah, there might be you know,

358
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: a trade here there the last ye there are a

359
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: few more trades. I don't know if I could see that.

360
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: I could see those trades last year making sense because

361
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: you could look out there and go, okay, let's let's

362
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: call spade and spade here. This is these guys. There

363
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: are a few they just don't want to be here

364
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: like we get it. Or those guys that are probably

365
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: gonna get moved and they got moved. I don't see

366
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: that this year. I absolutely don't see that this year.

367
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: So could there be a trade shirt, could somebody offer

368
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: you four first round picks for I don't know, one

369
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: of your players? Maybe I doubt it, but it's not

370
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: gonna happen. So point being, this is your squad. This

371
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: is what you have, and that's good news for a

372
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: guy like Ben McDaniels. What that receiver crew. Now, could

373
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: Danny Amondola come out of the woodwork again? It would

374
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: be fun, I would I would like to see because

375
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: the way Danny finished last year, man, if he caught

376
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: back on it, did that same thing to start twenty

377
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: twenty two. My goodness. But I like the group that

378
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: Ben's got a wide receiver, and I know that Pep

379
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: Hamilton has got to love that group at wide receiver

380
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: as well. And Drew Doherty had a chance to catch

381
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: up with the Texans offensive coordinator. Texans offensive coordinator Pep

382
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: Hamilton joins us for drews does, and it's good to

383
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: be with you. First, I like the smile. Let's rank

384
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: the PEPs by getting things going. Pet Hamilton, Pep Rallies,

385
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: Pep bands, pet Boys, and Pep in your step. What's

386
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: the ranking? You know what? Funny enough, when I was

387
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: in high school, one summer I worked at pet Boys,

388
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: so right at the top. Stories that go from that,

389
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: huh hey, And you know I worked at the customer

390
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: service desks back in the parts section, and folks will

00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: come in, you know, hey, welcome to pet Boys. My

393
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: My name tag hat, pep on it as well. So

394
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: where do they where do you rank? Where do they rank?

395
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: What's what's the rankings? How's it shake out? Pet boys

396
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: number one? Okay, I forgot the others, pep Rallies, PEP talks,

397
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: PEP bands and you oh PEP bands or pep in

399
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: your step and probably yeah pet bands? So working at

400
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: Pep Boys in customer service? What's the most random car

401
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: part that you can name? Right now? Man? That's tough,

402
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: you know. I U cars are changed a lot since

403
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: since way back when, but I don't know, you know,

404
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: back then everything, I don't know if they still have

405
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: timing belts on cars or not. I knew it was

406
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: pretty much the deffinity if your timing belt went out

407
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: on your car. Are you a car guy? I'm not so.

408
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: I know you're a bike guy. You ride a bicycle around?

409
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: Well how did that all start? Well, when we worked

410
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: at Stanford, we lived on campus. Coincidentally, kids, school, grocery store, mall,

411
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: everything was on campus. We decided we didn't need to

412
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: worry about riding around campus in the car, and so

413
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: we invested in the bike and that bike is still

414
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: a great resource considering that it's a ten minute walked

415
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: from our offices over here to the practice field, not

416
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: ten minutes on bike though, not at all. What's the

417
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: inain accessory that you made sure this bike has. Oh

418
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: you saw the baskets, Yeah, the baskets. The baskets could

419
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: fit groceries. Now you know, that's where I housed my cleats,

420
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: my whistle, clipboard, all the above to get ready for practice.

421
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: I do like your cleats. You've always had cool cleats.

422
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: And if we could pan down and show these, can

423
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: you describe them? Wow? Yeah? Just you know, at times,

424
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: as coaches, we decide to try and demonstrate, so we

425
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: want to make sure we're prepared and have the right

426
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: foot where to demonstrate, drops, throws, routes, all the above.

427
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: But see, when I think coaches and I think coaches cleats,

428
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: I think like nineteen seventy spot builts, and those are

429
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: not nineteen seventy spot those are awesome. Yeah. Well, no,

430
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: never wore spot builts. More of up to date cleat

431
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: guy very necessary for us, it's coaches very necessary, doesn't

432
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: have the spot builts, doesn't have the butterfly collar. Polo

433
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: doesn't have the high bike shorts like bike bike shorts,

434
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: not the bicycle short. Yeah, yeah, not quite. What are

435
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: your thoughts on dudes wearing the short shorts at practices

436
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: over the last five or six years, hadn't paid attention

437
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: to it? No thoughts on that, No thoughts on that

438
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: it's good because I mean everybody notices and everybody asks

439
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: about it. But okay, perfect pizza has what on it?

440
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: No meat? Not at all? No meat. Always been that

441
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: way for you, I wouldn't say always, but you know,

442
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: as I've become more season trying to stay away from

443
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: the things that take a little while to process. Okay,

444
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: So in that vein, guacamole, salsa or queso guacamole, blacktols,

445
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: and tolerant. Okay. So oh, I'm sorry, that's horrible. I

446
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: feel like a jerk for bringing that up. Okay. So

447
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: what is your go to dish that you cook? Wow?

448
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have a go to that

449
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: I cook. You let somebody else handle that. Well, thank goodness,

450
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: I have a great wife and she she handles that. Yeah,

451
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: when is it? Well? What's her go to dish that

452
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: you love the most? I would say any of this

453
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: many seafood dishes that she'll make. My wife is from Maryland,

454
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: so the blue Crab is somewhat of her specialty. Crabs

455
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: and lacrosse. They said it wrong in the movie Wedding Crashers.

456
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: They said crabs and football is what we do in Maryland.

457
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: It's crabs and lacrosse. So yeah, she's got one part

458
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: of that right for sure. Pet Hamilton, thank you so

459
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: much for the time. We appreciate it. Best of luck

460
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: the season. Thank you. I know you've talked about during practice,

461
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: ot as many caps whatever. You love the team stuff.

462
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: I love the team stuff too. I've gotten to where

463
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: I like watching they put it up on the board.

464
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: They call it split where the defense goes to one

465
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: field and the offense goes to the other. And I

466
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: go to the restroom and that's a mistake because I'm

467
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: watching the offense do things and go never seen that here.

468
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: Oh so they're they're working on air and they're trying

469
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: to they're working on design scheme, absolutely, and there are

470
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: some things I look at and go, I have not

471
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 1: seen that here. And I'm talking since I've been here

472
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: in two thousand, since two thousand and seven. Boy, that's different. Okay,

473
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: make a note of that. Make a mental note of that. Now,

474
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things you end up working,

475
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: whether it's high school, college, pro where you work in

476
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: the spring and you're just experimenting with things and you're

477
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: trying to see how it feels for you as a coach,

478
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: I like this, Do I not experiment with this? You're

479
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: always drawing things in the back of napkins. But I'm

480
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: watching this offense. I'm thinking, boy, Pep, this is it's different. Now.

481
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go into where and how it's different,

482
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: but it's different. And I like that, And I almost

483
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: feel like on a daily basis, I feel like Pep

484
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: is maybe not the mad scientist, but I look over

485
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: there and the wheels are always turning about how to

486
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: take a play and tweak it just a little bit,

487
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: and tweaking it just a little bit, it gives a

488
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: whole different look. And I think that's the key. It

489
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: was always the key for me. Could I find a wrinkle,

490
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: Could I find something just a little different off of

491
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: something we did that would make it look completely strange

492
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,239
Speaker 1: and foreign to a defense. Yet it was just one

493
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: little tweak that made it easy for us, and I

494
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: feel like Pep is doing part of that. And I

495
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: almost call a training camp in OTAs in mini camp. Well,

496
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: there's clearly a difference. And this is an offense that

497
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: worked really well with the Colts back when he ran

498
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: things there. Twenty fourteen was a terrific year for the

499
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: Colts offensively. They went to the AFC Championship Game. He

500
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: was the coordinator team that Hasselbeck didn't go as well.

501
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: I think when Pep went to Cleveland to be quarterbacks

502
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: coach that probably hurt things a little bit because it's

503
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: Cleveland at the time and they're not going to win

504
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: a lot of games. And you know, then he went

505
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: to the college ranks and did the XFL thing. Right,

506
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: It's great to have him back where he belongs coordinating

507
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: an offense, and maybe he belongs as a head coach

508
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: at some point. And I hope, you know, you hope

509
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: he's super successful. But if he is, somebody's gonna try

510
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: to take him away from him. But you know what,

511
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: luxury problems. Let's see what happens here, man the other

512

547
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: this one, Drew Dory and I talked a little bit

548
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: about Brevin Jordan at all, talked a lot about the

549
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: passing game. We focused a bit on the athletic gifts

550
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: of the second year tight end from out of Las Vegas.

551
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: I am encouraged by sort of the trajectory of what

552
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: we're seeing from this team. And I'm really excited about

553
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: the youth on this team. Not necessarily the rookies, I

554
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: am excited about them, but the second year youth and

555
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: what's going on second year youth, if you want to

556
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: call it that. On the coaching staff, Lovey Smith is

557
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: now the head coach. Pet Hamilton's THEOC and I can't

558
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: stop being enthused and excited about what pet Hamilton is

559
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: going to do. And I got a chance to catch

560
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: up with Brevin Jordan, who I think is going to

561
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: be He in his position group going to be the

562
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: kind of the focus of what we're going to discuss

563
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: a bit today. But Brevin Jordan, he's got personality and

564
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: then some. But he's also got an interesting skill set

565
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: that I think the Texans are looking to utilize in

566
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: tandem with Farrell Brown, in tandem with some of the

567
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: other guys Antonio Claire and U t. Equatoriano whenever he

568
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: gets gets out there. But the Titans are gonna be important.

569
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: Brevin Jordan gonna be an interesting aspect of all that,

570
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: isn't He absolutely? And I think there are a couple

571
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: of things to think about with Brevin as far as

572
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: I look at it. Number one, the athleticism has always

573
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: been there. I don't know's any question going dating back

574
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: his days at Gorman, and I remember seeing him like

575
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: Gorman going, well, that's a dude. Gorman's a high school

576
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. That's right, and it's one of the best

577
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: high school football facilities. You're gonna find football factors that

578
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: should say that you're gonna find. So he went to

579
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: University of Miami, had an idea about him, and then

580
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: watched him earlier, like, man, this guy's really really good.

581
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: I think he needed the first half of his NFL

582
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: career to kind of step back and take a look

583
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: and go, Okay, this is what it takes to be

584
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: a pro. It's playing a really difficult position at tight end.

585
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta block, and you're blocking some big dudes,

586
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: some grown man. You gotta block down. Then you gotta

587
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: worry about your route combinations, all that kind of stuff.

588
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: This is a lot going on. So when he got

589
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: on the field, when he finally got comfortable and got

590
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: his confidence, he got twenty passes over the last eight

591
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: and nine games. I don't know if he was fully

592
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: healthy at some point. I think his hand or something

593
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: that had been hurt. So he didn't play all those

594
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: nine games or get a ton of snaps, but he

595
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: showed what he could do. I think the Chargers game

596
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: is a great example. I watch that game the other

597
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: day and you just saw when he got the ball,

598
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: he knew what to do, he got up field and

599
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: it was it was a different looking guy, so he

600
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: was He was fun to watch watching him at OTAs.

601
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: I think you see a lot of the same things.

602
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: You're seeing that athleticism, but you just seem more comfortable.

603
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 1: And here's the other one is Davis Mills isn't always

604
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: going to find that receiver down the field, running the

605
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: dig running the sail route. There's always going to be

606
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: an outlet. Brevin might be that outlet a lot of

607
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: the times, a lot of the time, and he might

608
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: be that guy down on the goal line that he

609
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: goes to finds that a little nook and cranny and

610
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: Davis could fire it in there. And for a second

611
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: year quarterback, I think the best thing to have is

612
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: kind of his will be you know, his reliable blanket,

613
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: if you will, And that can be your running backs,

614
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: that can be your pass catching tight ends and Brevin

615
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: fits into that category. And you think about it, just

616
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, doing some simple math. Here he catches three

617
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: to four passes. Again, let's say one of those is

618
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: one of those is a checkdown, one of those happens

619
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: to be a scheduled route, Maybe catch another checkdown. He's

620
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: gonna catch more, right, But three to four a game

621
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: or three or four game over seventeen games has benywhere

622
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: between fifty one to sixty eight? Would you take that

623
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: for second year tight end? Absolutely, because he's gonna take

624
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: a few of those. And this is the thing that

625
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: stood out to me against the Chargers. Once he got

626
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: the football in his hands, it wasn't just okay, I

627
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: caught the football. Yeah, it was I got the football.

628
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: Now it's let the fun start. He'll make some moves

629
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: and he can get them. Which when Pharaoh Brown gets

630
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: ahead of steam, he punishes people. He takes six, seven, eight,

631
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: nine guys with him. Sometimes when he's been able to

632
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: do that, it's gonna be they need that then then

633
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: Texans need that from the offensive free things up for

634
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: the run game and for the other guys catching the

635
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: ball and what's key to that. It might sound weird

636
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: to Farah Brown catching more passes as the offensive line

637
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: because Pararell Brown was used a lot of times as

638
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: a sixth offensive line last year, because the offensive line

639
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: was missing Laramie Tutso was missing Marcus Cannon and although

640
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: Charlie Heck did a dc job over right tackle, I

641
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: thought last year there was there were holes in the

642
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: damn if you will, and Farah was used a lot

643
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: of times to try and close the holes as opposed

644
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: to these five guys can handle it. Yeah, let Pharaoh

645
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: get out on the routes to catch the football and

646
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: be athletic can do those things. We saw that in

647
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: Week one against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I mean, the one

648
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: handed catch down the middle was incredible. Tight Ends are

649
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: asked to do so much. He was asked to do

650
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: a lot of a pass blocking last year such that

651
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: Tyrode and Davis could get the ball off and just

652
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: get the ball off. But if those five guys are

653
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: handling business up front this year and that allows Pharaoh

654
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: to check, hey, no leakage, I can get out and

655
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: rout he can end up being that outlet guy too.

656
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: And so now you've got a couple of reliable athletic

657
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: dudes with the ball in their hands after the catch,

658
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: and that gets kind of exciting. And they can end

659
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: up both being red zone weapons third down weapons, and

660
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: they can be problems for linebackers or safeties having to

661
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: cover them in the past game. And something we've heard

662
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: about Pep Hamilton and his offense is he looks at

663
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: what the strengths of all his players are and tries

664
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: to accentuate those and feed those strings. So perhaps some

665
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: of that comes into play with what Hamilton has designing

666
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: this offense and the plays and stuff that that he

667
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: draws up. Well, I think from from Brevin standpoint, there's

668
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot you can do if you go back

669
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: and watch the film from last year, but you can

670
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: see the OTAs you see Brevin and Brevin Toltal's drafting.

671
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: He said, I want to be a three down tight end. Well,

672
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: to be a three down tight end in this league,

673
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to line up next dermal

674
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: La Tonch on one side or Tightest Howard the whole time.

675
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna be next to one on one play, You're

676
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: gonna be maybe at full back to next play you

677
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: might be a wide receiver. Yeah, so you're you're you

678
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: have to do all those different things, and Brevin's got

679
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: the athletic ability to be able to do all of

680
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: that and line up in a lot of spots. And

681
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: because you can do that, there's gonna be a time

682
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: where hey, I'm matched up. You know, guys are out

683
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: there kind of you know, it's basketball. Hey, I got him,

684
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: I got him, I got him. You know, I got Cooks,

685
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: I got Collins. Hey he here's um, here's met you

686
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: when he's healthy. Here's Philip thor setting and all of

687
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, Number nine going, You're gonna be that lie

688
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: back around me. I'm gonna take him, I'm gonna take

689
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: his lunch money. I'm gonna do it often until you

690
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: guys get wise enough to the fact that you don't

691
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: want to leave a linebacker on Brevin Jordan. So from

692
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: that standpoint, I think it's pretty exciting what what he

693
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: can do in the past game, what Faraoll can do

694
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: in the past game. And then we really having a

695
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: chance had a chance to see Tigan Quatriano yet, right,

696
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: And I don't know that Teagan is watching him as

697
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: a young dude or you know, as a guy at

698
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: Oregon State in the past game, I was like, Okay,

699
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: he's got some things to clean up on. I played

700
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: a lot of basketball growing up, so you can see

701
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: he's got some of that. Um these athletics, he's gonna

702
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: pound people at the line, screaming. Hopefully that's hopefully that's

703
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: gonna be his job. And all these tight ends end

704
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: up playing a particularly role. Anthonio Claire as well, Jordan

705
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: can be that X factor. And as they were going

706
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: through practice on Tuesday, as I'm watching, I'm thinking, and

707
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: Brevin cut maybe two or three passes where he was

708
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: not the primary guy. He was maybe third read. He

709
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: was kind of out swinging out wide. He was on

710
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: a flat route. You know, he's maybe gone to the flat,

711
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: and then things broke down a little bit, so he

712
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: had to work himself open or find it open zone.

713
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: Davis found him as the third or fourth read. Doesn't matter.

714
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: It's still a reception, right, It's still positive yards. It

715
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: doesn't matter whether you're the key receiver or either third

716
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: receiver or whatever. It is just as long as you

717
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: catch the football and do something with it after the catch.

718
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: And hopefully that's what these guys can all end up doing.

719
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: Having their particular role in this offense. So as it

720
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: happens on in the lab from time to time, it

721
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: turned into story time and the sopranos were a big

722
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: part of the story. So back in two thousand and seven,

723
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: the year that it ended, the year then it ended

724
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: that fall I started radio a local station here with

725
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: our buddy Sean Pennergays. So the first week of the show,

726
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: we were trying to think all these different with the

727
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: fourth radio, fourth sports show, sports radio station in the city.

728
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: We gotta think of something. We gotta be unique, we

729
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: gotta So we were trying. We were just brainstorm all

730
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: these different ideas, and so our good friend David Juno

731
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: was like, hey man, I'm trying to consider some interviews

732
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: for you guys, and we were just kind of bounce

733
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: all these different ideas and sean arch or children of

734
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: the eighties and like yo eighties movie stars. So we

735
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: actually ended up getting an interview with Corey Hame that

736
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: didn't that new Yo booked then any book does Willie

737
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: aims from eighties enough, and so we're like, this is awesome.

738
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: Then about forty five minutes later and it was me

739
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: Sean and it wasn't quite land Zerline at that time

740
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: Lance was coming over, but we had to do the

741
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: legal thing. So anyways, it was a two of us

742
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: in New Yor. Came back in about forty five minutes like,

743
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: oh man, I'm so sorry dude, you guys, I messed up.

744
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: But that's not Williams from eighties enough. He goes, I

745
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: gotta cancel the interview and I was like, wait, leave it,

746
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: and well, I said, I looked at Sean. I said

747
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: we'd asked him questions like he's Willie Aims from eighties enough,

748
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: and just see how long we can go with this

749
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: guy and drum, I'm telling you it's it was the

750
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: fourth does it exist? Like this is oh yeah yeah.

751
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: Tyler Millner, who produces uh Clinton Show in the afternoon,

752
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: just listened to it. In fact, that's what brought up

753
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: the other dex is somewhere on YouTube or what. I

754
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I have to get an.

755
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: It's hilarious and he was like the perfect foil. But

756
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: we kind of like it's our fourth day in radio,

757
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: so we would ask him questions. He like, I think

758
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: you got the wrong Williams. And then we're like, but

759
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: you're in the music right because you know the real

760
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: Williams was in the music. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

761
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: Williams my band. And then it was like we'd go

762
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: right back to ages, like we'd let him go and

763
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: then we'd pull him back in. So anyways, I'm going

764
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: somewhere with Sopranos with us. So we do this interview

765
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: and it's hilarious. At one point, we didn't know how

766
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: long he was gonna go. He had have stayed with

767
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: us for like five minutes or right, maybe more. So

768
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: we're dying laughing. We just we think it's funny. We

769
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: know not a lot of people are listening because our

770
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: signal is terrible. Yeah, and so our producer comes over

771
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: our headphones said, hey, this guy didn't joke Gannis Scolly

772
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: on the phone and I look over and I see

773
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: Sean at his eyes light up. Now I had not

774
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: watched The Sopranos at this point, and Sean looks at

775
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: me and goes said that. He goes, that's Vito said,

776
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: we're talking about it. Goes, it's Vetos from the Sopranos.

777
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: I said, that's not it, said Sean, come on, that's

778
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: not Joe Gannis Scully. He goes. He pushed the button,

779
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 1: he says, Kyle, he goes this guy swears that he's

780
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: joe gannis Sculli Like it's yeah, So like, okay, keep

781
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: him there. We just messed with Willy Aames. If this

782
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: is a fake joe Gannisculli, we'll mess around with him too.

783
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: It's the real joe Ganniskulli. Joe's a big Giants fan,

784
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: New York Giants. So Joe had been in Houston for

785
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: a cigar convention and he was coming down. He was

786
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: one of the featured um guests or whatever of the event,

787
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: and he just happened to turn it on and he

788
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: heard our interview with Willie Aames. He thought it was

789
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: hilarious and he just was calling in to tell us,

790
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: to tell us that, to tell us that that interview

791
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: was just incredible. And so we struck up this conversation

792
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: with joe Gannisculli. We started talking about the Sopranos, like

793
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: fourth Day of Radio. So we're watching the first season

794
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: and he makes a cameo he's a different in the

795
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: pastry Yeah, in the pastry shot, and so I point

796
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: I pausitive, like that's Joe, and Jack looks at me

797
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: like what that's Joe Gannis Scullion and I told him

798
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: the same story I told you, and Jack just thought

799
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: him it was hilarious. I said, he comes back later,

800
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: like he comes back as a different character later. But

801
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: he called her. He just called our show randomly, and

802
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: Sean was I had seen the Sopranos. Once I saw

803
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: the Sopranos, you know, you know you realize why that

804
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: was such a yeah, and I know it was a

805
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: big deal. Some dude that was on the Sopranos is

806
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: listening to our show. We're, like I said, four days

807
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: into radio and he's calling in and tell us what

808
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: a great interview we did this faux interview with the

809
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: fake Williams and so anybody that we'll see us out

810
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: and about if Sean and I are together, Like, dude,

811
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: I love that Williams interview. And then Joe get a scoli.

812
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: I need to hear it. It was. It was really good.

813
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: It was. It was hilarious. We just started asking him

814
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: all the things about you know. At one point I

815
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: asked him, so, who's the hottest Bradford sister? Was Susan

816
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: And he's just like, guys, you got the wrong Willie Aames.

817
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: This is Willie Aimes. It plays in some plays of

818
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: banjo and my and then he started giving out his

819
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: mind if I remember, and he gave on his MySpace

820
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: page it was yes, it was yeah, it was two

821
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, so yeah, people were a guest that

822
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: pork going out the my Space page. I gotta see

823
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: if I can get that. Sean, I think has it um.

824
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: I thought I used to have it on an old computer.

825
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: But it was hilarious. It's just the things that come

826
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: up in radio, like what I love this guy's called

827
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: like it was. It was odd. We you know when

828
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: it's you're that early in your radio career. I mean,

829
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: you don't really have expectations. You're willing to try it. Yeah,

830
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, the day we went live, we heard

831
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: that the antenna blew up, so we're like, there might

832
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: be ten people listing, so what the hell. It's pushed

833
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: the boundaries. We knew we could talk sports any time,

834
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: but let's spice it up with with Willy Ames. And

835
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: it definitely did get spicy for the fake Willie Ames. Yeah,

836
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: great story. I will one day put that up on

837
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,399

853
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: Everyone fall a segment of this Wednesday Nation of Texans

854
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: All Access. I'm your host, John Harris, glad to be

855
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: with you on this Wednesday evening. Let's go round the

856
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: league and start in Pittsburgh. P eight Steelers reached an

857
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: agreement with safety Minka Fitzpatrick a four year contract extension

858
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: worth more than seventy three point six million dollars with

859
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: more than thirty six million guaranteed. That's rich for a safety.

860
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: How rich the deal makes Fitzpatrick the league's highest paid safety.

861
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: He absolutely deserves it. And then I bring this up

862
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: first because one of the rumors that I had heard, yeah,

863
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, a year ago, maybe year and a

864
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: half ago maybe, was that in a Larimye Tufsoll trade.

865
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: It originally was Larimie Tunsil makea Fitzpatrick that the Texans

866
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: wanted coming here. That would have been absolutely fantastic, But

867
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: it didn't happen. Make if It'zpatrick ends up going to Pittsburgh,

868
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: and make if Itzpatrick is now a really rich safety,

869
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: now staying with the safety theme and going a little

870
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: north of here, but staying in our own division, the

871
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. I don't know if this was a surprise

872
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: kind of I'm assuming it had to be in some

873
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: sense just the finality of it. But starting safety Carry Willis,

874
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 1: third year safety, played three years in the league, has retired, Yes, retired.

875
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: The Colts did draft Nick Cross, safety out of Maryland,

876
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: third round they're very excited about them. I watched the

877
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: Colts kind of building the Texans version, whatever that was.

878
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: I came out what they called with the first pick,

879
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: I think, and they really like Nick. Nick crossed the athlete.

880
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: They're very excited to see him there. But carry Willis

881
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: is a blow to that defense. As guy's been around,

882
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: he's seen some things made some place for that defense.

883
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: He apparently has joined the ministry. So much luck to

884
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: carry Willis. I liked him as a player. I didn't

885
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: like seeing him on a cult because he was a

886
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: pretty solid player. But now he's gone. Best of luck

887
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 1: to carry Willis and we'll go down to New Orleans

888
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: for this last one. New Orleans Saints pass rusher Marcus

889
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: Davenport revealed to reporters on Wednesday he had to have

890
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 1: the top of his left pinky amputated this offseason. Oh

891
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: my goodness, big year for Davenport and the Saints over

892
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. All right, that'll do it for the show.

893

Speaker 1: A big thanks to Ben McDaniels, Pep Hamilton, to Drew Doherty,
