And that 43 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: was going out and playing playing a game the way 44 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: it should be played and things like that, you know, 45 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: just having a great career and you know, just to 46 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: even be a finalist for the Hall of Fame, it's 47 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: it's very humbling, man, just to you know, even be 48 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: in that position. So um, I'm just embracing it and 49 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, just taking it one day at a time, 50 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: step by step. Andre, Now that you've reached this step, 51 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: I know you talked about when you're playing, you play 52 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: your butt off and you just be You play and 53 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: you compete, but have you started to envision what it 54 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: might be like to be on stage to see your 55 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: bust and you started to kind of envision those things 56 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: now that you've reached this stage of being a finalist 57 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: for All of Fame. Yeah, you know, to be honest, 58 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: I've never Um. I used to get asked about it 59 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: all the time, and I used to always say I would. 60 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: I never really thought about it, you know, because you know, 61 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: when you retire, you know, you have to wait five 62 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: years to even be considered, you know, for the all 63 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: the teams. So I think now, you know, being a finalist, 64 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: I think more about it. Of course, now being a finalist, 65 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: I hear more about it everywhere I go. You know, 66 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: people that congratulate me and you know, telling me, you know, 67 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: they hope I get in on the first ballot and 68 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: things like that. So I hear it every day now 69 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: since becoming a finalist. So you know, it's just definitely 70 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: something you think about. I think about it more now 71 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: than I E. Well, you've been on a bit of 72 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: a hall of Fame tour, really, Andre, because you're in 73 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: the Houston Sports Hall of Fame, got adducted last spring, 74 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Before that, I was with 75 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: you in twenty fourteen when you got abducted into the 76 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes Sports Hall of Fame. What's it been like 77 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: to get into those halls? And I got to imagine 78 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: it kind of gets you ready for the big moment 79 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: possibly with the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Well, I 80 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: think any time you've been going to hall of fame, 81 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, no matter what level it is, you know, college, 82 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: high school, you know, even the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, 83 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: you know it's it's a tremendous honor. You know, it 84 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: just shows all the hard work in dedication you put 85 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: into your craft. You know that it all paid. Also, 86 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, the NFL Hall of 87 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: Fame is you know, probably the biggest accomplishment you know, 88 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: you can make, you can have other than winning the 89 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: super Bowl. So um, just like I said, just to 90 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: be considered, uh, you know, just to be a finalist, man, 91 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: and just it's very humbling. Like I said, still really 92 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: hasn't said any yet, you know. So like I said, 93 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: I get asked about it all the time where I go. Now, 94 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, people are just you know, talking about it. 95 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: So um. You know, I'm just I'm just embracing the 96 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: moment and you know, hopefully, you know, we could take 97 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: that next step and get in the camp. And there's 98 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: so many people in the city of Houston Andrea that 99 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: are you know, so so proud of you. And what 100 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: if I'm fascinating is you're from Miami. You went to 101 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: the U. But if people were to ask about Andre 102 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: Johnson are like, oh, no, he's a Houstonian. He's a Houstonian. 103 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: You've clicked for some reason in this particular city, Like 104 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: people gravitate like you're of Houston. Like when kim La 105 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 1: Juan came here in the eighties, I mean, he played 106 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: his college ball in Houston. Yeah, he's from Nigeria, but 107 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: he plays college ball in Houston. That attached him to 108 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: the city. You came from Miami and just play ball, 109 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: and you're now more Houstonian or thought of as Houstonian, 110 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: maybe even more than you are a native of South Florida. 111 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: Does that? How does that make you feel? That's funny 112 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: because you know sometimes you know, being a Miami guy, 113 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: you know, I root for the heat, you know and 114 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: stuff like that basketball, so uh, sometimes when people see 115 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: me post something about the heat, you know, they take 116 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: it personal. And it's funny because, like I think they 117 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: forget that I'm from Miami. Yeah, I think you know, 118 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: now people you know, people think I guess because I've 119 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: been here so long, like you said, just you know, 120 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: I've just kind of clicked with the city. Uh. You know, 121 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: people think that I'm from Houston, and you know something. 122 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: It's funny because you would read something to come in 123 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: and people would be like, do you not realize from like, um, 124 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: it's I don't know, man, It's just something about this city. 125 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: I always tell people, from the time I got here, 126 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: they they embraced me, Um, like I was one of 127 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: their own.

You know, 139 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: It's about this whole city of Houston, because many people 140 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: didn't respect us when I first got here. And you know, 141 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: the way I played the game, I wanted people to 142 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: expect us in you know, give us.

But you know, no matter 171 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: who it is, And I tell people, you know, if 172 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: I don't get in this year, you know, I'm okay 173 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: with it. You know, I'm just happy just to even 174 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: be considered. So but I definitely think Reggie deserves to 175 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,599 Speaker 1: be And all the time got me thinking. So I 176 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: pull it up two thousand one Miami roster. Yeah it's 177 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, I mean it's pretty good. It's pretty 178 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: it's pretty dumb good when you start looking at it. 179 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: I mean, even guys that were that were backups on 180 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: that team ended up being legends. Dre You talked about 181 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: this a little bit. We talked about the connection to Houston. 182 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: You were the first to go into the Ring of 183 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: Honor for the Texans. When you go into the Hall 184 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: of Fame, whether it's this year or next year or 185 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: whatever it might be, you're gonna be the first Texans 186 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: player to go into the Hall of Fame. Being the 187 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: first to do something. Does that matter at all to you? 188 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: Does that mean something to you that you were the 189 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: first to be able to do those things for an 190 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: NFL franchise. Um, I never really thought about it like that, 191 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: but I think, uh, when you are the first to 192 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: do something. Um, it just uh you know, you will 193 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: forever be remembered. Um, you know, you you created uh 194 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, a legacy. Like people say, it's almost like 195 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: immortalizing yourself. So uh, I just I don't really give 196 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: it was too much thought to it, you know about 197 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: being the first. But you know, I think when you 198 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: are first, you know it just you know, it just 199 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: says a lot soum. I just like I said, I 200 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: just try to embrace every moment um. I don't try 201 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: to overthink things, and you know, I just kind of 202 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: let things play out. Man. So you know, like I said, 203 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: it hasn't really all set in yet. You know, I 204 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: think you know, probably I get that knock on the 205 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: doors when it all set in. So right now I'm 206 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: just taking a step by stepping, just embracing it all. Okay, 207 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: So put your stake in the ground. Two thousand and 208 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: one Miami Hurricanes greatest college football team all time? Yesterday? 209 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: Now he went there, no question about it. There it is. 210 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's insane to look at the people on 211 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: that team. Absolutely it is the greatest team all time. Hey, 212 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: the two I was in Hurricanes dray because that's when 213 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: you and Reggie were on together, right, Santana Moss. Yeah, 214 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: and you know, speaking of Hall of Fame, I know 215 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: an Quin Bolden didn't make the finalist list, but he'll 216 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: have an opportunity down the line. And you have three 217 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: guys were on the field together during wide write three 218 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: because he played for Florida State. That's pretty strong as well, 219 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: right right, Yeah, an Ankorn was a great player. Um. 220 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: You know men an Quon came out of high school together. Um, 221 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: the same year in ninety nine, we played in the 222 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: Florida Georgia game together. He was my quarterback. He was 223 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: a quarterback in high school. So great player, a tremendous talent. 224 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: Man always you know, kept up with him in his career. Um. 225 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: Definitely a guy that's deserving to be in the Hall 226 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: of Fame. Also, you know, played the game the right way, 227 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: competed hard, very physical receiver, something I always loved about 228 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: him in his game. Dre had a magical dozen years here. 229 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: I know you're also part of the coaching staff at 230 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: one point, and we saw you in the mcnairs suite 231 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: last Sunday sitting with the mcnairs and watching a terrific 232 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: win for the Texans over the LA Chargers. What were 233 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: your thoughts on being there, being with the mcnairs and 234 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: also what you were seeing on the football field that 235 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: day as the Texans beat lam It was great to 236 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: be back, and then just in the stadium in general. 237 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: I had had a chance to come watch many games 238 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: over the past few years, but it was just great 239 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: to be back sit there with miss Janis and Cal, 240 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,599 Speaker 1: you know, just talk about the game and things of 241 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: that nature. You know, I just watched the team play. 242 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: You know, at the beginning of the year, you know, 243 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: there was so many different guys here and that were 244 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: brought in free agents and things of that nature. And 245 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: you know, I think in that game you just kind 246 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,719 Speaker 1: of seen it just seems like things have kind of like, uh, 247 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: I guess you could say, slow down, slow down a 248 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: little bit. You know, the team seemed to be coming 249 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: together as one m one thing I've always just noticed 250 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: about the guys. They go out and compete hard every week. 251 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: You know, that's never a question. But it just seemed 252 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: like everything just kind of came together on that Sunday 253 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: when they played against the Chargers. You know, everything we're 254 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: just kind of clicking, and guys were creating turnovers and 255 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: things of that nature. So it was a fun game 256 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: to watch. What are you seeing in Mills so far? 257 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: That was a good day for him? Rookie quarterback, third 258 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: round draft choice, and what are you seeing from him 259 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: on rag? Um? I think things are starting to Um, 260 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: the game is starting to slow the down for him. 261 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: You know, you can see that in the charges the game. Um, 262 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: I didn't I just got to watch the first half 263 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: of the game yesterday. I couldn't watch the whole game yesterday. 264 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: But you know, I think things are starting to slow 265 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: down for him. You know that that happens with rookies 266 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: they come in. You know, he was kind of you know, 267 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: I think you know, they didn't really expect you know, 268 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: uh probably playing them this year. But you know, the 269 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: things happened with Deshan different things, so um, you know 270 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: he got through onto the fire and uh, you know, 271 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: as a rookie man just adjusting from you know, college 272 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: to the pro's it's a different game and it's just 273 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: fa much faster game. Um there's you know, guys, the 274 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: Skies defenses better than things of that nature. So um, 275 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: but I think he's improved. Um, I think the game 276 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: has slowed down for him. He seems to be more 277 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: comfortable now, um than he was in the beginning of 278 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: the season. Dray all this, you know, Hall of Fame 279 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: stuff for you. We've known you for for a while. 280 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: We know it's like it can be uncomfortable. And everybody's like, 281 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm in good luck and they're all talking about that. 282 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: But I know Houston people are very, very proud, and 283 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: I know Houston fans all probably have a favorite Andre 284 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: Johnson moment as a Texan, and it's all different. I 285 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: think everybody. I think Mark and I would sit here 286 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: and we come up with a million of them. We 287 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: probably each have a different one. But from you the 288 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: man himself, do you have one that you you remember 289 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: more than anything else, Like an Andre Johnson moment from 290 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson that stands out more than any other. Um. 291 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: I always tell people my favorite memory is winning our 292 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: first playoff game. Yeah, you know here in Houston against Cincinnati. 293 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: That's probably my favorite moment, favorite play or just involving me. 294 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: I would probably say, well, actually I have two of them. 295 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: So catch against Washington, the fourth down catch yep right 296 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: against Washington, Washington, the player against Arizona when I ran 297 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: over the two guys to go into the Arizona isn't 298 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: probably my favorite two plays, but degree of difficulty, Dre, 299 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: don't you think fourth and ten over Yeremiah Bell just 300 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: plucking on his head, pluck plucking that ball away from him. 301 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: That was probably the toughest catch. Am I wrong about that? 302 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: Can you rate that one for me? Yeah? That would 303 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: that would probably be my third favorite, Okay, behind Washington 304 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,719 Speaker 1: and uh the Arizona play, that would that would be 305 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: my third one. Those are the three plays always, those 306 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: those three plays out of first three plays, that pretty 307 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: much they got in my mind I think about my 308 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: favorite plays I had throughout my career. All right, Well, 309 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: we really appreciate the visit, Andrea. It's been such a pleasure. 310 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: We hope to have many more this offseason and best 311 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: of luck, I know they're gonna make their decisions soon 312 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: and let's hope they make the right one and we're 313 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: celebrating this summer. But we really appreciate the visit. Right now, 314 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: we're waiting on pins and needles for later this month. 315 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys. Whatever. Now, I know a lot of 316 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: people are out there in their cars right now listening, 317 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: and they when I asked that question, of Andre. I 318 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: know what a lot of you were thinking, A lot 319 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: of you. Now. We've talked with Andrea about this before, 320 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: and he sort of chuckles at it. I don't think 321 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: he likes to be associated with that. I can sort 322 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: of speak to it. One of the things I know 323 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: a lot of people associate me with is kind of 324 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: losing my bleep on a draft pick many years ago. 325 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: People loved it because it showed emotion, it showed passion, 326 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: and that's a lot of people think about about Andre 327 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: and a certain defensive back that shall not be named. 328 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm glad he didn't go there. We don't go there 329 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: because obviously we've talked to Dre in the past. He 330 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: had shot away from it if he's asked, but he 331 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: likes the focus being on what he did out on 332 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: the field. Even though, by the way, you don't mess 333 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: with anybody from South Florida who is now all the 334 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: way in Houston as Andre Johnson is. That's so fun 335 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 1: get a chance to catch up with him, and Mark 336 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: and I talked about this. I don't know if we 337 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: talked about it on the air. Maybe we did. But 338 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: if Dray goes in and I don't know who else 339 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: will will go in, but the Hall of Fame over 340 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: the years has taken especially if it's a first time 341 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: player or hasn't you know, a team has not got 342 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: a player in for a long time, or a marquee player. 343 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: They will put that team in the Hall of Fame game, 344 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: giving fans an opportunity to kind of double dip, go 345 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame induction and then go over 346 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: for the game. And I'm trying to they've reorganized over 347 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: the years. How they time that. Whether I think it's 348 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 1: the action on Saturday and then the game on Sunday, 349 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: I think is how it goes. But either way and 350 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: Drey goes in, the caravan coming from Houston is going 351 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: to be obscene. They're gonna want to see there be 352 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: there to see their guy. And that was why I 353 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: asked that question. There are there are legends there. There 354 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: are one name legends in this town, Nolan and Earl 355 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: for sure. Now there are some others that are being 356 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 1: cultivated along the way. Jose as in Altuvee, and Jose 357 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: was not of Houston, but was he is now he 358 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: is Houston to a lot of people. And I think 359 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson is the same exact way you say Andre, 360 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: I think at two people. I think Andre, where you 361 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: say dre goat people are thinking of Andre Johnson because 362 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: that's the way he's referred to in this town. But 363 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: he's become as much he's become as much Houston as 364 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: he is about Miami. I thought that was pretty funny 365 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: talking about the Miami Heat because people do expect, hey, man, 366 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: you're Andre Johnson, you're Houston. No. No No, he's you know, 367 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: born and raised in Miami, so that that tugs at 368 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: his heartstrings. Now, I still secretly will be pulling for 369 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: the Brewers Bucks Packers at various times when they're not 370 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: playing Houston teams. So with the Texans playing the last game, 371 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: the Packers will be my team in the playoffs. They 372 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: always have been since I've been a kid, so I 373 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: will be pulling for them from afar, even though Aaron 374 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: Rodgers sometimes can tweak my Ever the last name point being, 375 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: we don't forget where we're grown up. Where we grow up, 376 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: and that always sticks with you. But you get perceived 377 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: as a person from a place like people associate me 378 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: now with Houston, and I mean I got here around 379 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: was eleven years old, so I associate me with Houston 380 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,479 Speaker 1: as well. But I grew up loving the Packers, being 381 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: a toehead from Wisconsin, little blondie, going to all the 382 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: different sporting events and loving the state of Wisconsin, loving 383 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: the Badgers, loving all the professional sports. But now it's 384 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: all Houston. Baby Strow's Rockets and of course the team 385 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: that signs my checks to Houston Texans are we get 386 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: back another guy who is like Andre of Houston, even 387 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: though I didn't grow up here, and that's Spencer Tillman. 388 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: We had a lot to talk about with Spencer. Some 389 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: good stuff from Spencer coming up next right here on 390 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: Texans All Access.

This segment is brought to you by 405 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: our friends at Mattress Firm. It was weird to be 406 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: out and Santa Clara and I hear the guy in 407 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: the loudspeaker, the voice of the louds on the loudspeakers say, 408 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: this game has brought to you buy mattress from like Yo. 409 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: Whoa Matches Firm gets around? That's okay because Matches Firms 410 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: the official mattress retailer of your Houston, Texans. It's time 411 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: to talk to our pal Spencer Tillman, catching up with 412 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: him on a number of different things. The Caleb Williams 413 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: news about Oklahoma transferring from Oklahoma came up later in 414 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: the day from when we had a chance to catch 415 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,719 Speaker 1: up with Spencer. Would have been interesting to see what 416 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: he had to say about that news. As the Sooners 417 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: lose their top notch soon to be second year quarterback. 418 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: He was a stud as a true freshman for Oklahoma. 419 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: Looks and appears as if he is transferring on. Now 420 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: is that USC? Where's former coach Lincoln Riley is? And 421 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: if so does Jackson Dart who is the I would 422 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: think current started at USC. Does he move on? Maybe 423 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: he goes to Oklahoma? Who knows? Either way? Carousel will happen, 424 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: no doubt. Spencer Tillman had a lot of things to 425 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: opine upon, and he was once a forty nine er. 426 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: There's some good stuff. We had a chance to catch 427 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: up with him. How did you see it yesterday playing 428 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: one of your former employers, Texans? Hanging in there, but 429 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: again offensive struggles in the second half plagued them. Well, 430 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: I think you said it, and I mean it's the 431 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: one turnover you had, just missed opportunities. I thought, I 432 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: didn't really like the game plan going in on the 433 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: offensive side. I thought the defensive side of the ball 434 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: was really done, where a nice mix of zone glits 435 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: a lot of stress, which is typical for this defense 436 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: to put on safeties. You know you're dealing with Samuel 437 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: and you know just the deep third routes that they 438 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: run with him puts a lot of stress if you're 439 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: trying to disguise coverage. And I thought the Texans did 440 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: a fairly good job of containing debot so that part 441 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: of it was good. But on the offensive side, didn't 442 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: like the idea of running option into the boundary, you know, 443 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: the short side of the field. You have a quarterback 444 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: that's not really inclined to be that guy. In order 445 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: to get in John knowses to get this option working, 446 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: you have to really press that I'm black guy. You know. 447 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: When I say press him, I mean you gotta get 448 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: closer to him to put him in that that conflict 449 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: situation where he has to decide what he's going to do. 450 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 1: And if you can't get close to him because of penetration, 451 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,959 Speaker 1: the Niku Posa was in the backfield on one particular 452 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: play where they tried it on the edge that that's 453 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: problematic that well, you know, draws and things of that 454 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: nature of penetration absolutely kills it. So from that standpoint, 455 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: didn't like it. Just weren't able to get the rushing 456 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: yards and Rext died a week ago, and because of that, 457 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: forty seven yards is not going to cut it against 458 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: this defensive funds so that's what the problem was in 459 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: the nutshell Spencer. Brandon Cooks came back yesterday and the 460 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: forty nine ers had all kinds of issues with him. 461 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: We talked about he went over a thousand yards the 462 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: second straight season. Two other guys have done at Andre 463 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins. When you watch Brandon Cooks, hey, 464 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: does he remind you of anybody? Be What do you 465 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: like about Brandon Cooks game and what he brings to 466 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: this offense that, yes has albeit been a struggle this year, 467 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: but when thirteen's involved, man, they can make some things happen. 468 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Brandon I don't know. I 469 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: didn't think about it in terms of food. Reminds me 470 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: of as an inside guy. You know, he's obviously more 471 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: elusive to speed. Is always a threat that he keeps 472 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,479 Speaker 1: in his back pocket and you have to honor that. 473 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: And I love the matchup of him with the linebacker. 474 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: I don't care how ATHLETs the linebacker is. That's where 475 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: you know Davis found him on the one touchdown. If 476 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,479 Speaker 1: they had yesterday, that inside slot position against them defense 477 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: is really fool good about guys that are hybrids where 478 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: they feel I can cover this guy right here because 479 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: of his speed. Even though he's in the end zone 480 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: essentially and you don't have the threat of long speed 481 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: in that situation, he still makes people nervous. So that 482 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: just being a five tool guy, from that standpoint, he 483 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: really makes you consider all the options that he has 484 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: at his disposal. He's a tough guy, he's a smart guy. 485 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: He works really hard with quarterbacks. Doesn't matter if you're 486 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: a veteran or a young guy, He's going to be 487 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: your friend, and that that's endearing to a signal caller. 488 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: So from that standpoint, there's a lot of intangibles that 489 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: really separates him and make him special. And there's no 490 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: mystery why he has back to back thousand or seasons. 491 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: He's a friend of the guy who's going to touch 492 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: the ball every single down. So I love his game. 493 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: I love his attitude and his preparation more than anything else. 494 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: Spencer Tennessee comes in here on Sunday and they got 495 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: well over one hundred yards from Deonta Foreman, they didn't 496 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: turn the ball over, and a dominating win over the Dolphins, 497 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: who are a hot team going in and now you 498 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: have a chance to bump them from the top seed 499 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: if you possibly can do it. What are your thoughts 500 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: on the season finale on Sunday. Well, in the past, 501 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: we've talked about the the inner game being the most 502 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: important game that you can play, and this is one 503 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: of those games. You know you're facing a team that's 504 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: a division arrival you have, but your mind is going 505 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: to tell you, Look, they've already clinched the division, they've 506 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: got a top seed spot and so they'll have a 507 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: home fiel advantage for not mistakens that burst round anyway, 508 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: So they what are they playing for? Your mind? That's 509 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: the kind of self talking's going to take play. What 510 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: you have to do is shun that Twitter on the 511 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: back burner. You have to make this game. Really this 512 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: is one of the rare cases where you make the 513 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: game about you. I would pick two or three things 514 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: that I want to improve on and then go back 515 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago that was part of the 516 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: in streak win streak, and focus on that, and after 517 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: sixty minutes you can find yourself improving in those two departments. 518 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: You won that inner game battle, and that's what you're 519 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: trying to do. If the Titans aren't your opponent, it's 520 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: really you, you're your opponent, and the coach has to 521 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: set the table. Position coaches have to do the same 522 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: thing and challenge every player to a man to find 523 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: two or three things that you want to work on. 524 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: And then after we play sixty minutes, we sit down 525 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: and look at that game day. Will you have been 526 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: better in those three areas? If you can say yes 527 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: to that, that's will a successful outing to close out 528 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: the season. Spencier, you have jewelry with the team that 529 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: we played yesterday and from that team with the input 530 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: you had back in the eighties to San Francisco forty 531 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: nine ers. So I would imagine they tug at your 532 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: heartstrings a little bit. So when you watch them and 533 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: there's a whole body of work on Jimmy Garoppolo and 534 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: there's this tiny little sketch of Trey Lance, what kind 535 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: of decision does Kyle Shanahan have going forward about Lance 536 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: and Garoppolo? If Garoppolo is healthy enough to throw the 537 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: football because it's his right thumb, what do you do 538 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: if you're Kyle Shanahan with that quarterback spot. Well, you know, 539 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: on the short term, what the strategy is this keep 540 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: you in that ambivalent space right, if you're facing the 541 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: team that's got to deal with him, you don't tell 542 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: anybody what his availability is going to be. You said, 543 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: well that he should be available, and he just kind 544 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: of played that game because you got to spend a 545 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: certain amount of time preparing for either one, and any 546 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: time that you spend diminishes from the other if one 547 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: ends up playing all the games, so you would have 548 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: lost fifty percent of your preparation. So he's gonna play 549 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: that game. Short term, long term everything. Everyone knows that 550 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: Tree Lance was the guy that they thought was going 551 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: to be elevated eventually. So it's a matter of time. 552 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: And it's kind of like in a very real sense 553 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: in some way. Maybe not to the same degree because 554 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: he wasn't as higher draft pick, but the same thing 555 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: with Davis Mills. I said five weeks ago, and this 556 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: is not a comment or commentary, it's just as an 557 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: analyst point of view, I say what I seem once 558 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: once Tyrod Taylor was pulled, I said, he'll never touch 559 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: the field again the remainder of the season and unless 560 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: an injury happens. And that's because you if you're doing 561 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: your job as an coordinator, junior job as a general 562 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: manager doing your job as day coach. You're gonna find 563 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: out what this kid has. You're gonna try to put 564 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: him in every talking about Davis Mills and every scenario 565 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: he could possibly be in, and then see how he 566 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: performed so you can make a qualified and informed decision. 567 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: So I think, in a very real sense, Sanahana is 568 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: doing the same thing. We know that the Tree Lance 569 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: is the future for them. He's going to be their guy, 570 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: but I think having both of them available and being 571 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: able to put that specter out there is gonna make 572 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: preparation a challenge for the defense that they're going to 573 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: be facing, and then maximize their opportunity to get a win. Spencer, 574 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: we had Andre Johnson on the air Hall of Fame finalists, 575 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: so he's one of the final fifteen. Here your thoughts 576 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: on his chances, maybe what you think about him possibly 577 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: getting in as a first ballot guy. What are your thoughts? Well, 578 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: that's a great question. I'm gonna do this in ten seconds. 579 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: I have two jerseys hanging up in actually two items, 580 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: if you wouldn't say Cane in my office. One of 581 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: them is a jersey of not Jerry Rights my team. 582 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: Great teammate him friend, but of Steve Larger, Right. Steve 583 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: Larger was feet also Oklahoma where I was born in rear, 584 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: and it was because of his character's personality congressman and 585 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: all that good stuff. And then I got an East 586 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: German military uniforms for totally different reasons, right, But they 587 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: really keep me centered. And it's the personality of Steve 588 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: Largings that I think about when I think about Andre. 589 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: I think it's the same temperament, understated, just a bullwalk 590 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: of a guy, consistent personality, that type of guy who 591 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: who causes you to personify that old edict Morris caught 592 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: than taught you will. He will perform and demonstrate his 593 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: traits and his attributes every single day, and if you're 594 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: in his orbit, you're gonna catch sets. He didn't have 595 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: to teach you anything. You see it, and you want 596 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: to model that. The guy's an exceptional athlete, better person. 597 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: Spencer Georgia Hammers Michigan, Alabama Hammers Cincinnati. We get to 598 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: Georgia Alabama. I know for some people they'd be like, 599 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: oh my god, it's always Alabama, But we have clearly 600 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: the two best teams in college football meeting in a 601 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: College Football National Championship. What were your thoughts watching the 602 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: dismantling that Georgian Alabama put forth on Friday night? Well, 603 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: you know what I was really thinking. I was really 604 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: thinking about the team that was that backdoor that sports spots, Cincinnati, 605 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: and how much of a land blasting they were going 606 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: to get from a lot of people saying they didn't belong, 607 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: which I think is the most egregious thing you could 608 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: possibly say, because those same people saying that Cincinnati didn't belong, 609 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: after what they have to navigate actually even get in 610 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: the position to do that. You know much what had 611 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: to go right for them to be in that position, 612 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: and they so much had to go right. Long story short. 613 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: If they're people are willing to land by Cincinnati for 614 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: getting blown out, why don't we say the same thing 615 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: from Michigan. Michigan got it handed to them, right, they're 616 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: blue blood and that's the only material difference between those two. 617 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: One has a longer legacy than the other, but both 618 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: of them got hammered by two stallards from the SEC. 619 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: I mean, so, what's new? So the game is going 620 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: to continue to evolve, But the bottom line is this 621 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: down in the South and maybe it's dysfunctional. Call it 622 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: what you will, but it means more. The game means 623 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: more down there. You go back and look saving Ohio 624 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,239 Speaker 1: State gentlemen. North of the Mason Dixon there's been one 625 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: team in the last twenty years it's won a national championship. 626 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: That's not a trend. There's a reason why that exists. 627 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: So it's deep South. They loved their football. Spencer helped 628 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: me out with this. When a coach takes a new job, 629 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: why can't he just coach the team in the bowl game. 630 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: I know that maybe is going to blow out some 631 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: assistance or whatever. Maybe that makes it awkward? Is that 632 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: the reason was it wanting on his record? This is 633 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,959 Speaker 1: part of the the last season. Next season. I don't want 634 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: to have anything to do with it until next season. 635 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: But you're in the building. Can't you coach? Why can't 636 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 1: they do this? Mark? You have just asked the most 637 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: important question in the history of college football that most 638 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: fans aren't seeing and aren't aware of the reason why. 639 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: The recruiting it matters, the early signing dates and all 640 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: those things really matter most as soon as you can 641 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: get away from a program. Take Lincoln Riley a classic 642 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: example for the players that he was actively recruited at 643 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: that point in time. Probably wouldn't have signed with the 644 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: USC had he not left the way he did and 645 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 1: expediently as he left. It's about the personalities involved the players. 646 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 1: These coaches know that, and they operate in a different world. 647 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: To me, it's one of the most obvious things, but 648 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 1: people don't talk about it because we want to live 649 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: in that vacuum right insulated from these realities. You got 650 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: to listen to the Kirk Kirk streets who I like, 651 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: he's a friend and all that stuff, but I call 652 00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: him the task man on some of the things he's 653 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: said recently about the game. He ignores the reality. And 654 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,399 Speaker 1: I get it. I understand you work for the poor 655 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: letter Network.

So why don't we recap what happened 716 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL on Sunday Q my music and let's 717 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,839 Speaker 1: rock Him Buffalo. The Bills lock up a playoff spot. Now, 718 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: neither the Bills nor the Patriots could lock up the 719 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 1: AFC East Division title. The Bills have to win Week eighteen. 720 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: The Patriots have to win and get some help. I 721 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: don't know if that'll happen, but Buffalo gotta win. Yesterday, 722 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: Josh Allen through three interceptions, but it didn't matter because 723 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: the Bills may have found a running game. The guy's 724 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 1: been all time. Devin Singletary ran four hundred ten yards 725 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 1: and two tutties. They win by fourteen twenty nine to fifteen. 726 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: Atlanta eliminated Arthur Smith kept them around, which is amazing. 727 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,439 Speaker 1: They are now seven and nine as they go into 728 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: the finale, Buffalo is ten and six. Buffalo needs to 729 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 1: win and then when the AFC East, the Bears and Giants. 730 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: So the Bears won twenty nine to three. Doesn't really matter, 731 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: neither team really racing for anything at that point, but 732 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: Robert Quinn set a team sack record for the Bears. 733 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: Was pretty amazing to think about all the great Bears 734 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 1: pass rushers. Robert Quinn season this year is the best. 735 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: And then you had Joe Judge after the game, which 736 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: was bleeved. Bengals and Chiefs played an all timer. Man, 737 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: what a day. What a day. Joe Burrow followed up 738 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: five hundred twenty five yards last week against the Ravens 739 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: with four hundred and forty six yards passing four tutties. 740 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase went absolutely, Jackson Smith jigba crazy eleven reception, 741 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty six yards, three touchdowns, and the 742 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: Bengals Evan McPherson kicked a twenty six yard fuel goal 743 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: as time expired to win the game thirty four thirty one. Now, 744 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,399 Speaker 1: let's talk about these two games together. That and the 745 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 1: Titans Dolphins. The Titans beat the Dolphins soundly Towah eight 746 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: two four, two hundred and five, but he had an 747 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: interception and it was ugly. Deante Foreman one hundred and 748 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: thirty two yards in a touchdown. Now, why don't bring 749 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: these two games up together? Well, Tennessees win moved the 750 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 1: Tennessee Tits to eleven and five. The loss by the 751 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs left the Chiefs of eleven and five. That makes 752 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: Sunday a number one seed game for the Titans. In 753 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,320 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, the Titans needed to just get in the 754 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: playoffs to beat the Texans. Well, the Texas did need 755 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: the game they were already in as the AFC South 756 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: Division winner last year. The Titans came here with a 757 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,919 Speaker 1: win could sew up the AFC South, and they got 758 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,879 Speaker 1: that win on a think this year they're coming here 759 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 1: with a chance for the number one seeds as simple 760 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: as that. Titans win, the Tits are the number one 761 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: seed ANFC. I know, I just threw up in my 762 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 1: mouth saying that, but that's the case now. If the 763 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: Titans lose and the Chiefs win, it's the Chiefs. The 764 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: Titans beat the Chiefs this year, therefore, they've got the tiebreakers, 765 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,400 Speaker 1: so if they both win, they're both twelve and five, 766 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: it'll be the Titans as the one seed. The Chiefs 767 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: is the two. If the Titans lose, I e. Texans 768 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 1: beat them Sunday again in twenty twenty one. The Chiefs 769 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: with a win will then be the one seed. The 770 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 1: Chiefs will play on Saturday, which is kind of amazing 771 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 1: to think. The Raiders found a way. Derek Carr made 772 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: one of the great plays I've seen him make, setting 773 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,360 Speaker 1: up a Daniel Carlson game winning fuel goal card and 774 00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: I the greatest date, but he made one of the 775 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: greatest Rose Hunter Rent further has ever seen that set 776 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: up a field goal. Las Vegas moves nine to seven 777 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 1: and they will play The Chargers. Charges beat the Broncos 778 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: thirty four thirteen. It's win and in that moves to 779 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: Sunday Night. Cardinals came up with an unbelievable win against 780 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: the Cowboys twenty twenty two. The Bucks came from behind 781 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,839 Speaker 1: in the Antonio brown Ball. The Patriots hammered the Jaguars 782 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,720 Speaker 1: fifty to ten. Jalen Hurtz brought the Eagles back twenty 783 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: to sixteen over Washington got them in a playoffs. The 784 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: Rams found a way to beat the Ravens twenty to 785 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: nineteen on the road as Matt Stafford threw for over 786 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: three hundred yards, and the Packers clinched the number one 787 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: seed in the n FC. Congratulations Aaron Rodgers and Matt Lafleur, 788 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: they did it again. Thirteen wins on the season, could 789 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: be fourteen what they win. All right, that's gonna do 790 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 1: it for the show.
