1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Happy Friday everybody. Hopefully you're enjoying the beautiful weather we

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: have been having. Anne. You are qued into Texans All

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am John Harris,

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: your host football Anaston Salad reporter. Drained now by my

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: favorite book reader of awe, Drew Doherty's going on. Drew,

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to share with the

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: people what you did this morning, but I gotta admit

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm envious. Yeah, it's you know what I will because

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: I've gone and I've already combed through things. But the

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: Spring Branch Memorial Library had their annual book plant sale

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: and I was there at ten ten o'clock. That place

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: was straight banging. It was crawling with people looking looking

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: through used books, fifty cent paperbacks, dollar hardbacks, and I

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: loaded up for five dollars and fifty cents. So yeah,

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. When when I went back with the

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: kids and my fan and my wife and we got

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: some children's books too. It's just easier to go by

18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: yourself if you want to, of course, pure book shopping,

19
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: especially when you still disclosure. You know, one thing that

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: has always impressed me about you, and I love this

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: before we go on a road trip. You will print

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: out articles. You'll print them out. The environmentalists out there

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: getting mad. But if you recycle the paper, it's okay,

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: it's not that bad. But you print out a bunch

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: of articles and then you read them once we get

26
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: on a plane, and I find that fascinating. I just ever,

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: it's I used to love reading books. I don't know

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: if it's just because when we get into season, I

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: just don't feel like I have time for it, or

30
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: don't stop myself to be able to do it, or

31
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: I have anything that I want to read at that point.

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: But I I'm envious. I see you do that, and

33
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, God, it's a really good idea. I wish

34
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: I did that. Yeah, it's stuff that I don't have

35
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: time to read during the week because it's it's usually

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: long form stuff. Yeah, so when I'm on the bus

37
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: going to the game, going to the airport, and then

38
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: on the plane read it. Yeah you're good that way,

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: thanks man. You know he's also good the quarterbaks the Yeah,

40
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: hopefully not the quarterbacks in on the text and schedule

41
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: this year, And I got me thinking, because you don't

42
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: have talked about this before about the twenty eighteen schedule.

43
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: Now the schedule itself, the actual nights time, I don't

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: know if times will be some of them, if they

45
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: if their night games, but the days and times and

46
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: the schedule will come out in April usually, but mid

47
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: mid April, about a couple of weeks before the draft typically,

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: So NFL even though March Maddis has done a pretty

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: good job of coming during the act the eye back

50
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: on it, Tiger Wood just taking the eye from it.

51
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: The NFL, those are pretty good job of Okay, February

52
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: combine March, free agency, April the next thing. Yeah, drafting

53
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: the schedule, and everybody wants to see the schedule. It's

54
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: funny because I never I never remember the schedule being

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: a big deal, maybe even like seven eight years ago.

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean it was, but it really wasn't. Now it's

57
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: takes seven o'clock. Yeah, you gotta tune in because you

58
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: gotta see where the team's playing. It's road games, you

59
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: gotta see what primetime games the team has. It's always

60
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: been a big deal for us, working on the meeting

61
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: then of the team media site. It's always been a

62
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: big deal for us because it's one of the ten

63
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: pole events. It's one of the main traffic drivers really

64
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: the schedule. That page gets more views than anything. It does.

65
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: That and the roster, so I view it big deal.

66
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: I probably about fifteen twenty times because I forget the

67
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: schedule sometimes at that point. But the one thing we

68
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: do know the teams of Texans will play this year.

69
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: We know they're matched up with the NFC East, we

70
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: know they're matched up with the AFC East. Ye they

71
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: have obviously their games in division, and then they're matched

72
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: up with two fourth place teams from last year, Dever

73
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: Broncos and the Cleveland Browns. So if there was any

74
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: good news to come out of last year, it was

75
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: the fact that at four and twelve, losing twice to

76
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: the Colts, they got a fourth place schedule. So instead

77
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: of playing Oakland and Cincinnati, yeah, they'll play Denver and Cleveland.

78
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: So we didn't know who they'll play, and I kind

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: of think I kind of think Denver and Cleveland are

80
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: gonna be better than I in Cincinnati. There's a potential.

81
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: I think Gokland steps back into it with kind of

82
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: riding Gruden uh that energy for a little bit. I

83
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: think that will help I think that will help them initially.

84
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: So I think they'll bounce back. Cleveland's gonna be much

85
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: better than people think. And it starts at the top.

86
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: And that's why I got me. They got me thinking

87
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: about this, uh, this topic of Okay, here's the teams

88
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna play. You're gonna face thirteen quarterbacks this year. Now,

89
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good list. It's a it's a pretty

90
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: decent list when you look at the quarterbacks they're gonna

91
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: face in particularly the teams over in the NFC East.

92
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: But I say all that thinking about what the Texans

93
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: faced last year and almost more portly, what they faced

94
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. If you remember twenty sixteen, the Texans

95
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: had a stretch where they went to Jackson though they

96
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: faced Bortles. That Bortles, Bortles was coming off are really

97
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: good twenty fifteen, so there's a thought. But they faced Bortles,

98
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: he threw an interception off his foot. Season, he threw

99
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: a foot fumble fumble is that what you call it? Now?

100
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: Brock thrumbled one, he fumbled one. They played Blake Bortles,

101
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: then went to Mexico City and played their car, then

102
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: came back home and faced Philip Rivers, then went on

103
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: the road and faced Aaron Rodgers, and then the following

104
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: week faced Andrew Luck. It's pretty good. That's pretty salty

105
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: group of quarterbacks. Now, last year the Texans faced and

106
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: I don't remember who all went to the Pro Bowl,

107
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: but these are the names that stood out of the

108
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: lists that they played. Now, obviously didn't face Andrew Luck,

109
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: but they faced Bortles in Mariota twice. But they faced

110
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson on the road Super Bowl winner, They faced

111
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: Tom Brady on the road Super Bowl winner. They faced

112
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: Jared Goff on the road, Pro Bowler, Jimmy Garoppolo here,

113
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: which is sort of a revelation, but people think he's

114
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: one of the top ten quarterbacks in the league. Now,

115
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger here Christmas Day. So those five names stood

116
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: out to me and I was like, wow, there were

117
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: a couple other names. Now, Joe faced a Super Bowl

118
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, who looked like an MVP candidate at least

119
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: through the first part of the year. That's when the

120
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Texans caught him. They faced Andy Dalton up in Cincinnati again,

121
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: and then they faced here at home. They faced they

122
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: faced Blank Gabbert for the Cardinals and they faced Kevin Hogan.

123
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: So I've thought about that list. I thought, that's that's

124
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: a pretty salty list because with Wilson, Brady, Goff, Roethlisberger,

125
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: you had five and I believe they all made the

126
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: pro boy. I believe Alex Smith made it probol. What

127
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: am I saying that he was another one? So you're

128
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: talking about six legit guys. Now you look at the

129
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: schedule at twenty eighteen and you start in the NFC East,

130
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna face wins or Folds. Don't know when, just

131
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: it may depend on when you play the Eagles. One

132
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: of them was basically an MVP yep. The other won

133
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, right, So that's a pretty good matchup.

134
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys. You'll face him here, solid quarterback.

135
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: Alex Smith you'll face again, but you'll do it in

136
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: Washington now as a member of the Washington Redskins, and

137
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: then with the Giants to face Eli Manning, which I

138
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: think that could be really could be hit or miss.

139
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: He's not. He's you've never beaten him. You've never never

140
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: beating him, and he well, at least you haven't beating

141
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: him the last two times. You played him, Did you

142
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: beat him in six? I don't remember. I guess would

143
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: be no, right, but I don't recall that. But then

144
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: you face Eli Manning now Eli in twenty fourteen, when

145
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: the Texans went up to New York to face him,

146
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: he had looked miserable for a couple of weeks and

147
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he got it together and

148
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: looked good. And I think the Johns would be better.

149
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: They've added a couple of pieces, Nate Solder obviously being one.

150
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: I think they'll draft another really good offensive line at

151
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: some point. They got the number two pick, they could

152
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: parlay that into the picks. But it could be Eli Manning,

153
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: maybe a rookie. I doubt it. I think it's gonna

154
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: end up being Eli. And I think we'll end up

155
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: playing that game in September. I don't know what tells

156
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: me that, but every time that I can remember the

157
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: Texans facing them in ten and fourteen, they're particularly for

158
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: September games, So I would imagine that game will be

159
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: here in September. So that probably means Eli Manning now

160
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: in a See East. I'm gonna say that one because

161
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: album begin gets interesting. The two crossover games you have

162
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: with the fourth place teams Browns, the Browns you're gonna

163
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: face Tyrod Taylor, Taylor, or if it's later in the season,

164
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: could be could be a rookie somebody they've drafted. Now,

165
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: we've faced the Browns last year in Week six, right

166
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: before the bye, and they went with Kevin Hogan. They've

167
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: been going with Sean Kaiser and Sean Kaiser, and then

168
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: they went with Kevin Hogan. The bad move. Kevin looked

169
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: terrible and they went back to Kaiser after that for

170
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Now Kaiser ends up in

171
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay, so he won't be the guy. But Tyrod

172
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: Taylor or I put Sam Donald because I think the

173
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Browns ended up taking Sam Donald number one. It'll be

174
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: one of those two. Now, Tyrod knows how to win.

175
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: There's no question you can do some things out of

176
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: the pocket. Beat you two three years ago and fifteen,

177
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: he beat you in twenty fifteen, and make the argument

178
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: that shitty McCoy beat you. But then again, Tyrod Taylor,

179
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: dev you know what I say that Tyro had a

180
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: good game, and you also had a good game with

181
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins. Sammy had a great game. The Denver crossover game,

182
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: which will be in Denver's case, him and he had

183
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: a great twenty seventeen. We all know that he has

184
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: not obviously established himself as a wood full time. He's

185
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: the guy starter, and some people say, well, what about

186
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: this year, Let's see what Denver does it number five

187
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: in a draft, And all to me you gotta do is,

188
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: I'll get a contract. Case got two years and thirty

189
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: five thirty six million. That's don't don't get me wrong,

190
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: that's good money. But if he's your franchise quarterback, you

191
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: would have given him for five years. Yeah, and you

192
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: would have given him a little bit more per year.

193
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, you know you've seen what he can do

194
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: both on your team here, yes, and then in Minnesota.

195
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: And he's a very very capable guy. You're not going

196
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: up there and facing a Tomato can this guy, there's

197
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: no there's no doubt. He's definitely capable of beating you.

198
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: Long term future who knows, but yeah, he can. He

199
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: can get the job done. Uh, and you gotta gotta

200
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: be wary. I put it on par with facing Flock

201
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: or a Dalton. Oh yeah, I put it on par

202
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: with absolutely. The FCS gets interesting because again. Texans have

203
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: got to go to New England and the Jets this year,

204
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: and they get Buffalo Miami coming here. Gotta faced Brady again. Yeh,

205
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Brady is Brady. But the rest of the AFCAS gets interesting.

206
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: The Jets it's Josh mccount, Teddy Bridgewater or a rookie.

207
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: The Bills it's AJ McCarron or a rookie. And the

208
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins it is Ryan Tannehill or a rookie. That's

209
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: where I think you can make up some ground a

210
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: little bit in these crossover games with the AFC East,

211
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: because the NFC East, as we mentioned, wentz Dak, Alex Smith,

212
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: Eli Manning. You gotta feel good if you come out

213
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: of there. I think two and two against against that group.

214
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: When when the home games, and it would be nice

215
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: to steal one on the road, But the Texans haven't

216
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: won a game. How about this. Texans have not won

217
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: a game on the road against the NFC team since

218
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: twenty twelve. It's a twenty twelve. They're not beating an

219
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: NFC team on the road, so it would be nice.

220
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,119
Speaker 1: But it's the Eagles in Philly, it's the Redskins in Washington.

221
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: Those are the two on the road. I don't think

222
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: it's not not gonna be easy to do that. But

223
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: either way, you're not You're definitely not bringing a knife

224
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: to a gunfight this year if everybody stays healthy. So

225
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: that's a little different than the last couple of years,

226
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: going to Seattle without Watt Merciless, going last year to

227
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: la without anybody. Who Really at that point, who do

228
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: you see for the Jet Is it all about timing

229
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: of year when the Texas play him? Or is it

230
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: the Jets? Yeah? Yeah, I think it. Do you think it?

231
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean, does Bridgewater really? I think we could see

232
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: a natural progression there from Josh McCown. Early in the season,

233
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: things don't maybe go so well. Todd Bowles, looking to

234
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: try and keep his job, goes to Bridgewater because doesn't

235
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: think the rookie's quite ready. Bridgewater gets a couple of

236
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: weeks that doesn't work, and then they realize we just

237
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: got to go to the rookie. Yeah, and then at

238
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: that point it all becomes can the rookie step in

239
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: and do enough to save to Bowl's job, my mcanganist's job,

240
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So, yes, I absolutely do

241
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: think I think the Jets is all about the time

242
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: of year. I think the Dolphins all but the time

243
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: of year, and I think the Bills could be all

244
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: about the time of year. Last year, the Bears mind

245
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon, and Glennon ends up getting what four or

246
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: five games if that, and then they go to Trubisky

247
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: and Trubisky is the guy the rest of the year,

248
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: he's the future. They jettison Glennon, he gets his money,

249
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: gets his check, and a thank you in a handshake,

250
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: and he's out the door. I think that sort of

251
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: happens with AJ McCarron, although I think mccarren's probably got

252
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: more starter potential than Glennon, I think, But then again,

253
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: I've never been a huge fan of agent. McCarron is

254
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: a pro, and I think if teams had been he

255
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: would have been a fifth round pick a few years ago.

256
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: So from that perspective, he's gonna get his shot. But

257
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be sort of like Mike glenn

258
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: I think he is going to get a few games, yeah,

259
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: but then I think they turn it over to Rookie.

260
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: So I think that Buffalo one ends up being So

261
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: what I think ends up happening is if and I

262
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: remember twenty fifteen, I think it was the Texans got

263
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: all of their NFC South games up front. They got Atlanta,

264
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: they got Carolina week two, Atlanta week four, I'm sorry,

265
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in week three, Land in week four, New Orleans,

266
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: and the New Orleans was a little bit later. Yeah,

267
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: Lars was one that was a little bit later. So

268
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: with the NFC East, I would imagine they're going to

269
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: get those games early on. I think these AFC East

270
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: games they're gonna get pushed back a little bit like

271
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: in fifteen and so they got they got Brady at home.

272
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: Obviously we have to go to New England for that one. Welly,

273
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: we always go into New England. This one is because

274
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: it's in the rotation. Yeah, in twenty fifteen we played here,

275
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, we gotta go there. But you know what

276
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: sixteen and seventeen because we were matched up with him.

277
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: But you know what top team to do. Last time

278
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: you went to New England, as opposed to all the

279
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: other times before that, you go into the fourth quarter

280
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: and you're scratching and clawing to try and get within

281
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: twenty thirty points. Last time you were up when you

282
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: extended your lead with about two and two minutes and

283
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: change to go. But yeah, I should have won a game.

284
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Brady came back, did did this thing. So's missed some

285
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: opportunities defensively. So the one thing that may answer this question, Drew,

286
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: which do you think is a more difficult quarter back

287
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: scheduled to face this year last year? I'm gonna say

288
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: push because last year you face four guys who'd won

289
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: super Bowls, But this year you've got guys on the rise.

290
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: I think in wentz Da Daki, Yeah, yeah, I think

291
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: the Browns upgraded with Tyrod Taylor or whoever they they

292
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: send out there. I think, um, Keenum's a better a

293
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: better one than who who is there? A Flacco? I'd

294
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: said take Keenam over a Flacco right now. And then,

295
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like you said, the the AFC

296
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: East with Tannehill, like the non Patriots ones. Yeah, it

297
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: could all just be really really ugly for them, or

298
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: it could be pretty pretty solid. But then Manning, you've

299
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: never won up there, and it looks like they're gonna

300
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: be better. I don't know. I think it's kind of

301
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: a push. And here's the fact this year, here's the

302
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: signing factor to me in some sets, if Andrew Luck

303
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: plays right, Andrew Luck plays I think this one becomes

304
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: I think this one becomes a more stringent quarterback schedule.

305
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: I do think there are some places where you can

306
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: take advantage of teams, those AFC East teams. If you

307
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, if you get him a count of Bridgewater

308
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, that's an AFC East game that

309
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: you can win on the road against the Jets, and

310
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: you need you need to win that game on the

311
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: road facing Keenham. I think that's gonna be tough. But

312
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: obviously the Broncos still gotta make some moves. But I

313
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: still think the Broncos are I think they're on the

314
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: back end of that two twenty fifteen championship year and

315
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: they're still sliding a little bit. But I think Keenham

316
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: slows that a little bit. But again, I think that

317
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: could also depend on when you catch them. If you

318
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: catch them early in the year, when Case really is

319
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: still kind of incorporating the offense and learning all that

320
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: kind of stuff and getting getting where he needs to

321
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: be with Sanders and with the Mary's Thomas, you know,

322
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: who knows that. That's a little bit what happened in

323
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: twenty twelve. The Texans were really rolling early on in

324
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: the season. Yea, Peyton Manning was still finding his footing there,

325
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: and they jump out to a five nothing and lead.

326
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: Oddly enough, the Broncos do and then the Texans just

327
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: the roof caved in on on the Broncos. Texans, I

328
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: mean they went deep to Kevin Walter, they went deep

329
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: to Andre Johnson. They kind of controlled the game where

330
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: not for an interception late by Shaub in the first half. Yeah,

331
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: Texans probably cruised to a two touchdown winyah as it was.

332
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: I think they won by seven, eight nine points. Ye

333
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: kind of got a little bit close at the end,

334
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: but I think that was the most impressive game I

335
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: ever saw Texans. Yayo was really good. That was very good.

336
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: Drew appreciate the time, dude. Welcome in everybody, and Happy

Speaker 1: we drafted days. Tuesday come in. What was the lowest

347
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: rated day? Tuesday was the day that didn't get drafted.

348
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: It didn't even get drafted, didn't even get drafted. How

349
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: many rounds did you? Well, we we drafted. There's two

350
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: of us, so we we drafted three days each and

351
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: Tuesday wasn't even drafted. It was Tuesday wasn't even drafted.

352
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. All right, So what was last? What

353
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: was the last pick? Monday? Uh see, I didn't have

354
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: a problem Monday. I sort of treated like you know

355
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: when you played Monopoly back in the day. I never

356
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: I never went after the blues. I went after the Greens,

357
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: and so I tried to corner the market of the greens,

358
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: and so I got I got Saturday. No, what did

359
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: I get? I got Friday, Friday, Sunday, Monday, the number

360
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: one pick. Yeah, Friday, because he you know, like people said,

361
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: I gonna work on Friday, Yeah you do, And look

362
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't apply to us. I mean, we we are

363
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: not bragging. I guess we're work bragging. Yeah, we love

364
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: what we do so much. But I think no matter

365
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: what you do Friday, that anticipation of the weekend and

366
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: then you know, and this assumes that you don't work

367
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: on the weekend. Okay, and I know that many people

368
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: do work on the weekend. So whatever. I can't really

369
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: help you there, but that you know, getting out of

370
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: work thing on Friday and Friday night, knowing you have

371
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: two full days, it goes to show you, Johnny, the

372
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: joys and the journey in life. Yes, if Friday is

373
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: going to be the number one pick in your day draft,

374
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: that says a lot about anticipation and build up and

375
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: the looking forward to aspect of things. I think it's

376
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: very important in life. I picked Friday, Sunday and Monday

377
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: and Sunday for that very reason because on Sunday you

378
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: have you have obviously games during the season. Yeah, so

379
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: those are fantastic out of the season you've got, you know,

380
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: if tiger Wood is playing great, you got Sunday in golf,

381
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: You've got a tournament always you know, ending on Sunday,

382
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: getting the final all that kind of stuff. So that

383
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: was that was our day. Tournament ends on Monday. Actually,

384
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: so you're well, I mean to get to the final

385
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: so the Elite A. Yes, congratulations to Leonard Hamilton and

386
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: the Elite eight for the first time ever career because

387
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: I thought him at Miami and now he's been at

388
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: Florida State for a gazillion years and I was like,

389
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: letter has never been at the Elite eight with Florida State, right,

390
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: absolutely not. This is the first time, first time flor

391
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: State's been in there since ninety three with Bobby Surah

392
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: and Charlie Ward former Rocket Bob Surah who and Sam Cassell.

393
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed watching Sarah play as a Rocket. There

394
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: was something about him and obviously Sam Cassell a great player.

395
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: I mean they've had some good ones there. Yeah, but

396
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: they get in. So Florida State gets in, Michigan puts

397
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: out a performance ages. The way that Michigan shot the

398
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: ball last night was unboard. Can I say something about

399
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: my Aggie friends, who I love so much. I love

400
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: yesterday the day before the day before that, they were

401
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: like They're like, oh, we can win the whole thing now,

402
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: because everybody was saying that name a team. My my

403
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: biggest thing about this whole tournament, and I said this

404
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: back in January February. You heard me, was this is

405
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: the most wide open I've ever seen it. And it

406
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: clearly proved to be the case because of sixteen beat

407
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: to one. Now maybe you know whatever happens from here.

408
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: But going into the Sweet sixteen, I said, pick a

409
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: team that's gonna win four in a row. You can't

410
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: do it. You can't do it. Somebody's gonna do it,

411
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: but you can't pick it. It's it's too difficult. It

412
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: wide open. So to think that, yeah, we can. Look,

413
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I predict that they would get blown out,

414
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: but you cannot think you have this stuff in the bag.

415
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: And they were really overconfident. I thought a lot of

416
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: my yage friends, and you just gotta be careful with

417
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: that stuff. I mean, even the team like Villanova, you

418
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: would think, hey, they've been through the fire. They won

419
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: this thing a couple of years ago. Villanova has got

420
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: to get through West Virginia first and then play the

421
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: winner of Texas Tech Purdue now Purdue with Isaac Hoss

422
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: and the elbow and all out. We don't know, probably

423
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: not gonna play, but still you gotta get through those.

424
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: You gotta get through Press Virginia first, and then you

425
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: gotta get through those those two physical teams. Did you

426
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: see when West Virginia played Marshall. You see our buddy,

427
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: our buddy was Justice the governor. Oh the gov was

428
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: wearing he was wearing a tie he had it was

429
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: green striped, it was cut. Then he had blue and

430
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: gold stripe, but it was gun it had creed and

431
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: white the bottom. I mean, you talk about having to

432
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: play both sides. And he said that everybody in his

433
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: family had gone to Marshall. He had gone to Marshall's

434
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: family gone to Marshall, His kids had gone to Marshal.

435
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: Everybody had gone to Marshall. Was like, well, that's gonna

436
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: be tough on the Mountaineers are still the States. Yeah,

437
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: there's no there's no question. All right, Mark, We do

438
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: this every year when this comes around. The annual league

439
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: meeting coming up. They're gonna be in Orlando next week

440
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: and you will be there, right, we'll be there, All right? Good.

441
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: There are ten potential playing rules changes for the twenty

442
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: eighteen season, all right, now, some of these I think

443
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: we've talked about a few of these already, but I

444
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: like this one. Number two, suggested by the Competition Committee

445
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: changes the standard for a catch. We've talked about that

446
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. I'll be curious to see it in

447
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 1: practice as opposed to in theory. But it feels like,

448
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: and I read this somewhere and I think this is

449
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: absolutely true. It feels like they looked at what they

450
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: thought were a catch and then they said, okay, what

451
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: can we then apply and they kind of work backwards

452
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: to what a catch is gonna beat. That's kind of

453
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: what they did, and I don't have a problem with that.

454
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: So they've changed the standard for a catch, so the

455
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: Jesse James catch would be a catch and a win.

456
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: And think of how that wind changes everything. It changes

457
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: NFL everything everything, It changes everything because now Jacksonville's going

458
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: to New England in the division around, not the championship,

459
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: and then Pittsburgh is probably gonna play Jacksonville, and obviously

460
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: Jacksonville should what they can do against Pittsburgh in Hinesfield.

461
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: So that's number probably gonna play Jacksonville. You think Jacksonville's

462
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: gonna beat New England in New England? Maybe? Maybe not?

463
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not? Who knows I have somebody things I

464
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: need to throw at you, but I'll do that another time.

465
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: Number one, all right, makes ermament the playing rule that

466
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: changes the spot of the next snap after a touchback

467
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: resulting from a free kick to the twenty five. Basically

468
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: a kickoff or a free kick. They're going to the

469
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: twenty five. It's yeah, it was an experimental kind of thing.

470
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: That was the one thing we never I don't think

471
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: we talked about too much, was experimental rule. This is

472
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: going to happen. Makes the penalties number three. Number two

473
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: changes dandard for a catch. Number three by the Competition Committee,

474
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: makes the penalties for illegal batting and kicking the same. Yeah. Whatever, Yeah,

475
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: let's see number four from the LA Chargers a Men's

476
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: Rule fifteen section to Article five to add fouls for

477
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: roughing the passer and fouls against players in a defenseless

478
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: posture as reviewable plays in the instant replay system. Oh boy,

479
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: now that becomes very interesting. I don't know if you

480
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: heard McClain last night on the show, but he said

481
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: he wants everything reviewable, even non calls, which you cannot

482
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: do that but with a challenge though with a challenge flag.

483
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: So you can you a challenge to review it. I'm

484
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: not in favor of non calls, but calls, yes, I

485
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 1: can go there now holding I'm not so sure. Yeah,

486
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure about that. Pass interference. Yes, please,

487
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: I want to be able to review pass interference and

488
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: I want to be able to review late hits on

489
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I want to be able to do this.

490
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: I think it's an incredibly difficult game to officiate. They

491
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: all are. Look we talked about basketball, are you kidding?

492
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: Try try officiating your kids basketball game ten year olds

493
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: and you'll you'll start sobbing. It's so difficult to do

494
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: it right, to do it accurately. It maybe sobbings too

495
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: much of a No, sobbing's good, that's good. But the

496
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: point is this, it's incredibly difficult. I want it reviewable.

497
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm in favor of the LA Chargers proposal. That is,

498
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: it's something they do in in college football. Now some

499
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: will say, well, hey, college football takes five hours. Well,

500
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: one of the things on the reasons why is because

501
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: they review everything. And on top of the fact that

502
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: they stop the clock after first downs, which they don't

503
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: need you, they don't need to do. They can do

504
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: it in the last two minutes of half, which I

505
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: wish you that would do. I wish they would proposing

506
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: that for years they don't listen to me. Number five

507
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: by the Washington Redskins to add a review of personal

508
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: fouls as reviewable plays and instant replay system. It's sort

509
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: of building off of what the Chargers had had done,

510
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: So I think I'm okay with that do it, especially

511
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: since personal fouls can get you eventually ejected from the game.

512
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: Number six by the New York Jets change the enforcement

513
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: for defensive pass interference. Now, apparently this one is gonna

514
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: fall in deaf ears. It sounds like but I and

515
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the Jets recommendation, and

516
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see it here. But the thought

517
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: that an official would have to determine, Okay, did that guy?

518
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: Was that like a basketball? Is that what they call that?

519
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: A clear path foul? Okay, that's a clear path foul

520
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: that would end up. Well, the thing is, if it's

521
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: a clear path foul, where are you going to spot

522
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: the ball? Because if you've beaten me on a double move, yeah,

523
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: you're probably within ten to twelve yards and lost of scrimmage.

524
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab you right there. You're not going anywhere.

525
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: So where does the clear path foul go? Half the distance?

526
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? At the distance that gets tricky,

527
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: That gets real tricky. So either go to a fifteen

528
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: yard or or leave it the way it is. I

529
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: don't know that you can get caught in between on that. Yeah,

530
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: as I say the half the distance, no it doesn't

531
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: apply because like let's say you're dragged down at the one,

532
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: you should be able to get to the one. It's

533
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: a clear path kind of foul. I think there should

534
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: be some sort of I'm gonna word it incorrectly here,

535
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: but flagrant pass interference spot foul. I think that, And

536
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: I brought this up with the General last night. Remember

537
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: once upon a time, there was no five yard defensive

538
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: holding penalty. It was either pass interference or bust. Right,

539
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: you didn't have defensive holding, right right, You didn't have

540
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: that kind of contact. Yeah, I legal contact whatever you

541
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: know beyond the five yard zone, and you didn't have that.

542
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: So I am in favor of the fifteen yards, but

543
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: I want some sort of flagrant pass in fairness, he

544
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: dragged the guy down and now they're gonna get the

545
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: ball at the spot of the foul penalty. You have

546
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: to word that differently, but I'd like that in there, please,

547
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: And I want a reviewable. Make it reviewable. As we

548
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: talk about this all the time on SUNDAYSFL hasn't reviewable,

549
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: the CFL hasn't reviewable. Pastor Ferris is reviewable. It's gonna happen, Johnny.

550
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: It's good. I don't not this year, but it's gonna happen.

551
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 1: You'd be able to review Pastor deferis well. I think

552
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: with technology people are watching at home going, Oh, they

553
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: blew that call. I mean they can see it. I

554
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: mean that's that's the hard part. That's the hard part.

555
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: In all this definition, television has made officiating tougher than ever.

556
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: You questioned it more. You and we were able to

557
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: watch it in slow How could you miss that law? Yeah,

558
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: well it's very easy to miss it in live action.

559
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: Run it at full speed and see if you catch it,

560
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: even on a screen like that. Here's now Here's one.

561
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: It becomes interesting by a competition committee confirms the amount

562
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: of time in which a team must challenge a play.

563
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: If there is a television commercial break following the play

564
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: in question, and that happened that the Texans did it not.

565
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying one of the games that we had gone

566
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: to a commercial break and Obi wanted to challenge a play,

567
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: and he waited, and they waited, and they waited, and

568
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: they waited and they waited, and then when they came

569
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: back out, they line back up. Then he challenged it.

570
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: So they're saying that with a commercial break, there's a

571
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: certain amount of time with which they've got to challenge

572
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: that play. It sounds like which I like it. I

573
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: like I like the thought. I mean, I want to

574
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: see what happens to it. In theory, it sounds good.

575
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: You know What's interesting during that commercial break, it's not

576
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: like they're seeing extra replays because they're not. No, I mean,

577
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: unless they're watching on their phone, but I doubt it.

578
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: I got it at home. I've got it on Axfinity

579
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: on my Exfinity app. Seriously, what's to stop an assistant

580
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: coach from from reviewing it on his Axfinity point in

581
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: the booth and say and during that commercial break saying,

582
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,719
Speaker 1: you know what we gotta And that's another thing, by

583
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: the way, I would love this is very doable, not

584
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: cheap but very doable. In the coach's box, you have

585
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: a video coordinator who's able to run back all sorts

586
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: of replay angles. This is going for the coaches before

587
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: the coaches. Yeah, this is going to happen. This will happen.

588
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: I think what also will happen because I've seen this

589
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: now in high schools too, that you're gonna have live

590
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: video on the sidelines. Eventually live video. You have live

591
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: video for the for the coaches to be able to

592
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: look at and look at the you know how they

593
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: just look at the pictures, but while the play clock

594
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: is going on, and he didn't make a no, no,

595
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: no no, I'm talking about no no, no no, I'm talking

596
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: about just offense comes off the field instead of polaroids. Right, yeah,

597
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: Because once upon a time, I'm sure you're looking at

598
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: photographs on the sideline. That's cheating to look at photographs,

599
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, And now you can look at video on this.

600
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: There's some there are some there's some states where high

601
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: schools can do it. I don't think you can do

602
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: in Texas, but in Georgia you can. I don't understand

603
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: what the problem would be. Since you can look at photos,

604
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: you have coaches upstairs. What I never understood the spygate stuff.

605
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: I've said this before. I've never understood what is so

606
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: illegal about videotaping an opposing coach and having to figure

607
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: out the signs? What? What's why? It is because it

608
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: was the Patriots, and you know that, Why would that

609
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: ever be illegal? He's out there and it's not like

610
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: you're in their locker room eavesdropping on them. But I

611
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: guess that goes along the lines when I'm bringing up

612
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: of stealing signs in baseball, it's like, oh, don't do

613
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: the written rules. Yeah, but you know they do it

614
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: because like they put the Denny's menu in front of

615
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: their face so they don't get their lips read. Uh.

616
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: They have in college, they have the pictures on the sideline.

617
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: I've got a picture of Marilyn Monroe and I've got

618
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 1: a you know, the Holy Grail and Norman Rockwell and

619
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: you know whatever they put up there, you know, crazy

620
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: stuff this Morry Hopkins, Yeah, clips that had Jandre Hopkins

621
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: on theirs. This one I think will only be this

622
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: one will only be thought about by gamblers and those

623
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: who dabbled into dark arts. My competition committee eliminates the

624
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: requirement that a team who scores a winning touchdown at

625
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: the end of regulation of the game to kick the

626
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: extra point or go for versus ever their gamblers. Why

627
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: was this ever in place? There you go, there was

628
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: no other reason in the history of the world to

629
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: have this in place other than that there. They're gonna

630
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: be some people if that goes through. I'm telling you,

631
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be some bad beats for people, and they're

632
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna look back at that rule and go last year's rule.

633
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: I would have won. But that any rule affects the

634
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: games rule. No, but I thought the Vikings Saints ending

635
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: was ludicrous to bring the Saints back out, to have

636
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: to the Vikings come out and take a Nay, it

637
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: was the stupidest thing at silly. It was just ridiculous.

638
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,719
Speaker 1: Hart Over, Thank you very much. Enjoy your Friday. Thank you, Johnny.

639
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: All right, coming up next year, doors gonna stop. By

640
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, the Texans play thirteen quarterbacks. How do they

641
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: compare to what they played in twenty seventeen. We'll talk

642
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: about that next right here in Texans Access One. Final

643
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: segment of Texans All Access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio.

644
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: I am John Harris. Happy Friday to you all. Hopefully

Speaker 1: you have a beautiful, safe weekend. Hopefully we're gonna get

646
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: some good weather. You can get out, maybe get galls

647
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: and get to the beach, do some shopping, whatever you're

648
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna do on a spring weekend. Hopefully this is the

649
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: opportunity to do that. And I wanted to send you

650
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: off in a little bit of a good mood. Hearing

651
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: from two guys that are instrumental for this team heading

652
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: into twenty eighteen, Tyron Matthew and the Shawn Watson now Tyrant.

653
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: Caught up with Drew Doherty. We caught up with Tyron.

654
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: We had a good long, ten eleven minute interview with

655
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: him the day he was signed. But you also caught

656

Speaker 1: up with Drew Dorty hitting a couple of things as well,

657
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: the Honey Badger spending some time with Drew Doherty right

658
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: after he signed earlier this week. It's an exciting day

659
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texas Tyrann Matthew. It's official. How does

660
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: it feel, man? I feel like I'm officially at Texans.

661
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: I feel great, man. I'm excited about it. Can't wait

662
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: to get the work. Well, I'm sure you noticed the

663
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: love that you felt Friday night when this all went down,

664
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: and really probably before that too, right, Yeah, Yeah, it's

665
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: exciting to be back Downald shut Man. So obviously it's

666
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: a lot of LSU fans. Obviously Texas is a big

667
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: football state in Um, you know, I'm glad to be

668

669
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,280

670
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,479
Speaker 1: a special connection, more or LSU alumni in Houston than

671
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: any other city exide from bat Rouge. That's gotta be

672
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: nice for you knowing that you've got so many people

673
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: just from your college back here, you know, gonna be

674
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: cheering you on. Yeah, I think I picked the right spot.

675
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: And um, you know LSU fans they traveled pretty well. So,

676
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: um you know, I whoefuck is coming here? Man from

677
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: my hand in the pile, make some plays and you know,

678
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: do well for this team. Make some plays is the

679
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: key word, because there's a lot of other guys in

680
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: addition to you that we've seen do that in the past.

681
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: How exciting is that knowing that you get to play

682
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: with Widney Merciless, Jadevion Plenty, JJ Watt and some of

683
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: those guys on the back end of the linebacking. Yeah,

684
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really exciting. Um, you know, I've never

685
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: played with a group quite like the D line here

686
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: with Clowney, Watton, Merciless. Um, it's gonna be fun. Man.

687
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: And then playing with the Vets in the secondary. And

688
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, me and Aaron Covin we've worked out together

689
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, so it's gonna be fun

690
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: reconnecting with him and you know, just creating some chemistry

691
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: and then trying to get this thing moving forward. Yeah,

692
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: you bring up Colvin. That's a guy that's got a

693
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: really interesting future, I think because he's had a good

694
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: past and he's been on some great teams. What might

695
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: you guys be able to do in tend with Jjoe

696
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: in Tanda, with Kareem Jackson and Andre how well? You know,

697
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: I think the versatility, I think it speaks for itself.

698
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: You know. I think Aaron, you know, you play inside.

699
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: I know he wants to prove that he can play

700
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: outside as well. And uh, you know, I know Jjoe

701
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: finders League a while, and Kareem can go from outside

702
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: to inside, and um, you know, I think we all

703
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: bring that versatility to the table and UM, you know,

704
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,479
Speaker 1: I think in the end it will help us. What's

705
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: what's the mindset when you know that you're going to

706
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 1: a team that's coordinated by Romeo Cornell because he's seen everything,

707
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: he's a creative guy. What what's the excitement level there

708
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: for you? I'm extremely excited. Um, you know, I definitely

709
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: think it played a part in me coming here. Um,

710
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: you know, just being around him and Billy O and

711
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, having those guys, you know, we relay that

712
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: that that they're playing for me, and I'm excited about it.

713
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: You said the word hungry in your press conference a

714
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: few times. Give us a sense how hungry? I mean,

715
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: like you have an eat for a couple of days,

716
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: hungry you see some water burger. I mean, what's the

717
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: deal there? Well, I'm starving, you know I think you know,

718
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: not only me, but you know I wanted to come

719
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: to a team that was hungry. And obviously this team

720
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: has great potential in um, but you know, at the

721
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: end of the day, we all want to win, and UM,

722
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: you know I want to win. And UM that's talks

723
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: be cold, and you know that's what we're gonna work

724
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: to us can it be week one yet? Please? Please? Tyrant.

725
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: We're excited, were ready, We are too, We're happy you're here.

726
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: Thanks so much and best of luck this year. I

727
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you said it before and I'll say

728
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: it again. I was thrilled when I saw the news

729
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: that J. J. Watt actually tweeted about the three honey pots.

730
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: He was the one who broke the news last Friday.

731
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: At this time, Mark Vandermer and I we had we

732
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: had an inkling that this possibly could happen, and so

733
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: we were in the process of recording a show earlier

734
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: in the day, recording a second show just in case

735
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: we had We had an alternate show for Saturday, and

736
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: if you remember, or for Friday night from six to seven,

737
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: that was key from six to seven. JJ didn't break

738
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: it really and then of course all the NFL scribes

739
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: and insiders and up Schefter in particular broke the news

740
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: about Tyron Matthew. That didn't happen until later in the evening,

741
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: about eight thirty nine o'clock. So we went with the

742
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: original show, but we had a backup show just in

743
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: case Tyron had signed or decided to sign, and that

744
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: news was coming out. So we've got a backup show

745
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: somewhere on this computer that we had recorded just in

746
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: case something happened, and we don't We're not hooked up live,

747
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: so we didn't have the opportunity to go live. We figured,

748
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: you know, well, let's just go with the show, the

749
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: original show. We'll have the backup show if something happens.

750
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: But then nothing happened. They got to seven o'clock, like, okay,

751
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: Well at that point, I remember thinking, boy, if we

752
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: get to seven o'clock at the end of the show

753
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: and nothing's happened, yeah, maybe it's not could happen. A

754
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: couple hours later I saw JJ's tweet, and then of

755
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: course a few hours later or a few minutes later,

756
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: I should say it was. It was done Tyron Matthew

757
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: coming to Houston past physical As press conference, and then

758
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: obviously right there you heard him talking with Drew Doerty.

759
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: Now earlier this week, probably I think it was maybe yesterday,

760
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: maybe the day before. Shaun Watson was on Total Access

761
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: on the NFL network with Lindsay Rhodes talking about a

762
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: number of things, in particular, when could we expect to

763
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: see DeShawn back on the field, What does he think

764
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: he's gonna end up back on the field, and it

765
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: was promising to say at least, but they hit on

766
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: a number of different things with Lindsay Rhodes the NFL Network.

767
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: Here is your Houston Texas quarterback of DeShawn Watson. Deshaun Watson, Boy,

768
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: it is fun to watch you on the field. When

769
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: are we going to get a chance to do that again? Um,

770
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: hopefully for sure this preseason. But for sure week one

771
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: I should be full of go. I'm ready to go uncent.

772
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, training camera preseason, Um, hopefully that's

773
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: the released time where they can kind of cut me

774
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: loose OTAs a little bit. I know for sure that

775
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: I'll be doing you know, some drills here there and

776
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: around the teammates and doing a lot of different things.

777
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: But um, you know, we're just kind of going with

778
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: the flow right now. I don't want to rush anything.

779
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: We saw you running a video of you with JJ

780
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: Watt a couple of weeks ago, so I assume that

781
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: that is the last box that you checked in your rehab.

782
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: What's next the nets is you know, just perfecting my

783
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: craft with my drops and my technique throwing the ball.

784
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: I've been throwing a little bit and doing some a

785
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: little things here there, but you know we're just trying

786
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: to you know, take it here and there and not

787
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: trying to get ahead of each other or ourselves and

788
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, just manage that throwing what the guys are

789
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: just throwing by yourself and then I throw with some

790
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: of the receivers. M that's around a lot of guys

791
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: coming back this month, but especially the guys that's working

792
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: out at the facility and then the guys that's you know, rehabbing,

793
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: like Tyler Irving and even JJ's out there catching for

794
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: me some of the guys that's around. What about the

795
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: non physical stuff? What do you think the biggest different

796
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: friends will be for you from year one to year two.

797
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: I think the biggest difference is a defensive recognition, UM,

798
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: really mastering what defenses are are trying to do versus

799
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: not just myself but the whole offense. But they're trying

800
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: to do with uh, you knowd how are they trying

801
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: to you know, uh, you know, bracket him. What they're

802
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: gonna do with Will Fuller and what different things they

803
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: try to you know, create you know mistakes for us

804
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: to um, you know, doing offensive side and really picking

805
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: up with that, did you talk to Tyring at all

806
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: before he signed with you guys, because it sounded like

807
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: you factored into his decision whether you talk to him

808
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: or not. Yeah, I mean we talk him there. And

809
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: then when I when I heard that you know, he

810
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: was leaving Arizona. Uh, and we were, you know, one

811
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: of the top teams on his list. Um, of course,

812
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: you know, I sent him a message and saying, you know,

813
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: we're a lot to have you on age town, um,

814
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: and you can help us out. And then I've seen

815
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: him yesterday also in the facility you after he decided

816
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: that he wanted to come you know, the Houston. So

817
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: we always had a cool relationship. Um. You know, he's

818
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: been a guy that I've always been looking up to

819
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: since I was in high school. So it was awesome

820
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: to kind of get him on the squad. What about

821
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: the draft you played in the ACC with Lamar Jackson?

822
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: What kind of pro quarterback do you think that he'll

823
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: end up being? I think Lamar I'd be great. Um,

824
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: you know that's that's my opinion. Um. I think he asked, um,

825
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, the tools and in tangible was the coming

826
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: of lead and and perform at a high level. He

827
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 1: can run, he's a dual threat, he can throw the balls,

828
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: has a quick release, makes good decisions, and um, you know,

829
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: I think he can help a professional team. And of

830
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: course there's gonna be things that you know, he's gonna

831
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: be able to learn and pick up and it's gonna

832
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: take some time, just like myself. But at the same time,

833
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: I feel like he's gonna be able to perform at

834
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: a high level. And uh, you know, he's a fan.

835
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of him. I've talked to him all

836
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: the time, and um, you know, best a lot to him.

837
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: You hear the stuff that these guys are going through now.

838
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can relate in some ways having gone

839
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: through that just last season. Oh kind of advice would

840
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: you give the quarterbacks that are getting ready for the

841
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: draft right now? The vice I give is keep an

842
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: open mind. You never know what's gonna happen. You might

843
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: be going, thank you, going top two or top five,

844
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: and you know, you might slide down to the late

845
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: first round and you might be thinking that you're gonna

846
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 1: go Day two and might go in the first round.

847
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: So keep open mind and regardless of what happened, celebrate,

848
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 1: enjoy it because this is the opportunity. So it's life

849
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: changing moment. And you know, I just kept open mind

850
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: and knew I want to go to the best spot

851
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: and lefting in guy's hands and he said me to Houston,

852
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: which was the best, you know, thing that can happen

853
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: to me. So let's lot to all the guys that's

854
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: in the draft and enjoy the process and really enjoy

855
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,479
Speaker 1: that day. I know you're an old Spice guy for sure.

856
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: I am. What are you doing with them? Yeah, I'm

857
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 1: here with old Spice and of course, you know, yeah

858
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: the new captain smell. So today I'm their captain and

859
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: making sure that you know, you know, promoting the new

860
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: smell and having everyone you know get the new smell

861
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: and don't have to go, you know, buy the pricey bottles.

862
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: They can just get it from most vice. DeShawn. Looking

863
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: forward to seeing what is next from you, sir. Good

864
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: to talk to you. Thanks so much for making time

865
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: for us. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it.

866
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: I'll never forget Draft Day twenty seventeen. When sitting up

867
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: on the stage in a break, I hear the Texans

868
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: have traded up question Mark and at that point all

869
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: all things just went crazy. It's still a little bit surreal,

870
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: admit that Deshaun Watson is a Texan, almost more surreal

871
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: that Tyrn Matthews a Texan. But we'll get used to it.

872
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: I guess we've got to see them all on the

873
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: field together and then it'll be very very real. Big

874
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: thanks to Drew, to Mark for stopping by, most of

875
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: you guys for listening. Thank you so much. Y'all have

876
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: a great weekend. I'll see I'll Monday, and let's always

877
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: go Texans.
