00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: It's coming, it's coming, and my coheart and crime is

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: with me. The voice of the Texans Mark Van remark.

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: It's not a crime. It's not a crime to love

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: the weekend and love football. No, it's the great American way.

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: I ask you this every single year, and I don't

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: know if it's changed because we've gone to the Greenbriar, Greenbriar,

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: and this is not gonna be the second year. What

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: is the one thing you look forward to the most

13
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: on training camp? The one thing when it's over. Now,

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: that's what the players might say. That's exactly what the

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: players say. Okay, day one it's kind of like opening

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: day of almost anything. Day one is really special. The

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: funny thing about training camp is by the time you

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: get to the end of day two, you're like, okey,

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: we're just play the game. Where's that first preseason game?

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm ready, I'm ready. That's why what was the year

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: was there a year where they had a joint practice

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: going into week two. Oh yeah, the Redskins in Richmond. Yes,

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: that was kind of cool because we practiced for not

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: even maybe a week, and then you're on a plane

25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: going to Richmond for two or three days whatever that was.

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: And I know, hard knocks and it's time to get

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: them out of Richmond and all that. But that wasn't

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: bad at all. That really broke it up. It was

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: kind of like going on a game trip and it

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: was only three days, and then you come back and

31
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: you have like two three more practices in whammo, you're

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: into the preseason games. I thought that that was a

33
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: pretty cool preseason routine. Now the Greenbrier does make it

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: an adventure. I do look forward to day one, of course,

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: I like, look, here's what we get to watch that

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: we don't get to see an OTAs or even during

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: the regular season. You see padded starters against starters practice.

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: They know they need that hard physical work. So the

39
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: first couple of padded practices you see, that's what I

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: look forward to. I want to see this because when

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: we see Johnny and you know this, when you see

42
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: the seven on seven and OTAs or even the eleven

43
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: on eleven, even the first couple of days of CAP.

44
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: That's one thing when you get the guys in pads,

45
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Hey, this passing game is harder

46
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: to execute when guys are in pads. And even even

47
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: though we say receivers against dbs, you get that's the

48
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: most realistic competition. You get an OTAs well. Once you

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: get the pads on, it is different. It's just tougher,

50
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: a lot of bumping, a lot, you know, pads are on,

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: It's just the windows seem tighter to throw into, and

52
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: it just gets a whole lot tougher. So I'm looking

53
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: forward to seeing how they cope with all of that.

54
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Last night Thursday night on the AFFL Championship game, oh yeah,

55
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: which by the way, fighting cancer one a million bucks.

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: That was fun to watch, Yeah, because the non pros,

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: the Joes as they called up, they didn't just do

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: things in a pretty traditional manner. And I'm getting I'm

59
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: getting to something here in a little bit. But on

60
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: the broadcast interviewing to Shaun Watson, he said, I'm yep,

61
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go one right that due to the

62
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: old ticker when you heard that, you know, I figured

63
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: it was the case, but to hear it confirmed because

64
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: we talked about the video yesterday, right, we talked about

65
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: the video where doing the ropes. If you haven't seen

66
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: the video, he's doing the rope's course, He's got no

67
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: brace on. He's doing the rope's course, and then he

68
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: sprints and does some cuts and you watch it and

69
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: you go, okay. I figured Johnny was one hundred percent

70
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: based on what I saw at the Green at the

71
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Houston Methodist Training Center for OTAs. I thought he was

72
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. But I still don't know this. I

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: don't know how much they're gonna actually let him do.

74
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: It's one thing to be able to do it, it's

75
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: another thing to let him do it. Are they still

76
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: going to ramp them up? Or are they going to

77
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: say he takes every single rep in every single situation

78
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback. I don't know. Or do you

79
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: throw wheat into the wolves? You know, obviously he's gonna

80
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: wear that don't touch me Jersey. I mean, that's there's

81
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: no question about that. Just Neon Green, I just can't

82
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: miss it. Yeah, I don't know what O'Brien's gonna have them,

83
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: do you know And here's the other thing. Once we

84
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: get to the preseason games, how about this, three weeks

85
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: from this program will be reacting to what just happened

86
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: in the preseason. In three weeks, three weeks from last night,

87
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: they start the preseason. So that's like football game was

88
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: pretty interesting to watch, and I didn't watch all. Well,

89
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: what do you think of that? You think that sport

90
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: could actually do some things? Really, it's yes, if they

91
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: if they grow the right way, which is continue leave

92
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: it where it is. The tournament concept, I think is

93
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: the qualifiers and all that. I think it's got a

94
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: chance because it is. It's it had enough cachet because

95
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 1: there were some players that you were used to seeing.

96
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: It's got the pros versus Joe's sort of conflict, if

97
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: you will, and there's just enough different there's just enough

98
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: nuance to it to go. It's different than Perfecting, than

99
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, it's different than the CFL. They're all different.

100
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: Obviously you're not hitting. But I love the MIC's down

101
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: on the field. I thought that was great because you

102
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: can hear the guys talking to each other. Though. It

103
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: was fantastic. But it's just a different game. Everything happens

104
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: right now it is moving fast. You gotta throw the football.

105
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: You got that timing clock. But one of the things

106
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: that came out of that game last night that I

107
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: kept seeing and I don't I don't, I don't remember

108
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: the guy's name, but he ended up being the star

109
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: of the game. But he looked like a miniature version

110
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: of Colin Kaepernick. Right, his hair, his facial expressions, everything,

111
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: he looked like a miniature Colin Kaepernick. Anyways, the Fighting

112
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: Cancer team, the Jo's if you will, they would snap

113
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: the ball to one guy and he would hand it

114
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: to that guy and then that guy would then make

115
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: the decision to throw a run because the guy who

116
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: takes the snap is the quarter technically the quarterback, and

117
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: he can't run, okay, but that guy can take the

118
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: ball and he could run like the guy he hands

119
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: off too. Yeah, okay, So I ask you this because

120
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: I saw this story, right, could a two quarterback offense

121
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: be coming to Baltimore? Oh? We your hand off to

122
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson? Well, this is what who wrote this? I

123
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: think it was, was it Florio? Well, Michael David Smith

124
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: wrote this that a d d ki kabwala if I

125
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: hopefully said that right, NFL Network. She covers the Steelers.

126
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: I think you did say that right, but she also

127
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: covers the Ravens. She said that the Ravens have been

128
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: running offensive plays in which both Joe Flacco and Lamar

129
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: Jackson both touched the ball on the next play. That

130
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: was on one play, and then the next play, Lamar

131
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: Jackson and Robert Griffin the third both touched the ball

132
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: and apparently the Ravens fans went nuts when they saw it.

133
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: And so I got to thinking about that, and I

134
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: don't think it's I don't think it's widespread. I don't

135
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: think it could be widespread. I think it's got to

136
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: be the right guys, A play or two here or there.

137
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: Do you think it could I don't want to say

138
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: catch fired, but do you think that could be the

139
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: next train? Because we've had trends that have coming gone.

140
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean, people talk about the zone read and you know,

141
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: the read option and all that kind of stuff, and

142
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: then you saw the uh what I was gonna say,

143
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: You had that, then you had RPOs, and you had

144
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: wildcat right, you had a lot of you had a

145
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: lot of different fas wondered about this though, because we

146
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: see halfback options from time to time. Right, Well, what

147
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: if the halfback is an a dept thrower, right, an

148
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: adept passer of the football. Why don't you do a

149
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: little bit more of this because you want to talk

150
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: about play action. Okay, that's the ultimate play action. I've

151
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: actually handed off to a quote running back if you will.

152
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: Now those linebackers are like, oh my gosh, I'm I

153
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: gotta go play this right now, you've got one on

154
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: one matchups down field. So as opposed to a running back,

155
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: you need a guy like RG three or Lamar Jackson

156
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: who sees over the defenders and can kind of make

157
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: a quick read and throw the football. Now, if you

158
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: saw the vander team playing flag football this spring, you

159
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: would know that this is a regular part of the

160
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: vander offense. Well, this is why, this is why ash flag.

161
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: We can't run the quarterback. I got a quarterback who

162
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: can run. So occasionally we'll do a thing called I

163
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: don't want to give away by play will think called

164
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: Texan shift. Right, So the quarterback steps to the right,

165
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: and now one of the receivers steps in and takes

166
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: the snap and just hands off to my quarterback and

167
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: so he can run. So he can run if he

168
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: wants to. But what happens here and in flag football,

169
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: in our situation, the rusher is seven yards deep and

170
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: he jumps in without account so the rusher, by that time,

171
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: the rusher is usually there. Okay, so you're yeah, you

172
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: gotta be very careful with this, you know. But but

173
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: my quarterback goes whoop, you know, he does a whoop

174
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: move and he can and the guy runs by him,

175
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: and now he's got a split second to throw the ball,

176
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: or my quarterback will take the snap and throw out

177
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: to the right side a lateral. The receiver, like a

178
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: split receiver, will just take a step back, take a

179
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: lateral pass, and now that the rusher has got a

180
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: long way to go to get to him, and now

181
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: that receiver can chuck it deep or he can run

182
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: it himself. Okay, let me ask you a question. Yeah,

183
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: why would that not work in the NFL. Well, let's

184
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: take the radio. It won't work in the NFL because

185
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: in flag, the way we play, you cannot cross the

186
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage unless you're that seven yard deep rusher.

187
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: In the NFL, if you throw a lateral out to

188
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: the right side to a receiver, you better have a

189
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: corner has given them a big cushion because otherwise the

190
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: corner is gonna come in and just play them. Now,

191
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: the receiver could do whoop and it's not flag football.

192
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: You actually actually have to tackle the guy. So that

193
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: might work. But I think that I think versions of

194
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: that can work. To answer your question. But you know,

195
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: this is what I'm not saying Braxton Miller can do this,

196
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: but maybe that his type of guy could possibly do this.

197
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: Where you can pass and you're a good receiver and

198
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: you can run with the football in space. Maybe there

199
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: are some options like that. But what who coaches hate turnovers, risk, uncertainty,

200
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: lack of predictability. It's kind of like my golf game.

201
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: If I get that seven iron out, do I know

202
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: that I can hit my seven iron one hundred and

203
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: fifty yards and not all the time? You know it's straight?

204
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: That is you know, Michael one hundred and forty five

205
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: to the left, well quarter, You know that you want

206
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: predictability when you're playing golf, Like I know that this

207
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: club can do this. Coaches want to know that this

208
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: play can at least do this, and I think they

209
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: get a little answery with stuff like this. With ideas

210
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: like this, What if what if you have Lamar Jackson,

211
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: and what if you put him to the left of

212
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco right and you run like you run zone

213
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: read essentially with Joe Joe flac Now, Flacco is not

214
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball. He's not gonna mean that defensive end.

215
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean they can they can probably figure it out

216
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: defensive end at some point. But you hand the ball

217
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: to Jackson. If you're defensive end, what do you do

218
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: if you crash down they give the ball to Jackson.

219
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: Now Jackson's out on the flank, and he has the

220
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: ability to throw it, or he has the ability to

221
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: turn with four three speed up the field. And if

222
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: Flacco keeps it as he fakes, everybody goes with Jackson.

223
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: Flacco keeps it, Now you just run bootleg the other way. Well,

224
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: but here's the thing though, if I just think there's possibilities,

225
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: there are there aren't possibilities. But if you hand off

226
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: to Jackson, he's tire left. And I know this is radio,

227
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: it's hard to visualize. Now, let's say the defensive end. Look,

228
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: if I come crashing down, you're right, Jackson can step

229
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: out to the left and run for ten yards right.

230
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 1: But if I play it just the way I was

231
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: playing the pass, if I just play Flacco right here, Yeah,

232
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: just pass right now Jackson. If he's gonna stand and throw,

233
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: I still have a pass rush coming in. I can

234
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: still bracket him. If Jackson runs forward, We'll go ahead

235
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: and do that a few times and see how Yeah,

236
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: see how he likes getting hit and how the Ravens

237
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: organization likes risking their high profile QB crashing it. I

238
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: mean crashing, you know, rushing into the line, trying I'm

239
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 1: trying to make yards between the tackles. As a quarterback,

240
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: I just I think with I think with Lamar Jackson

241
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: would never run in between the tackles. I should say

242
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't run in between the tackles. If he were

243
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: my quarterback, I would have a couple design runs like

244
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: the Texans did last year with the Sean and I

245
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: would just tell him you have a defender. You get

246
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: down at some point. But I think you could take

247
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and put him next to him. You run

248
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: zone read and you just run Jackson like a wide sweep,

249
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: and you forced them, you forced them to have to

250
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: defend that. And if they start to defend and they

251
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: start sending defenders, well, then you just run a pass

252
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: playoff it. That's how the I got I've been thinking

253
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: about this idea for a long time and people question this.

254
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: I had the idea back in two thousand and four

255
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: to put two Virginia Tech quarterbacks in the field that

256
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: a guy named Brian Randall, and they had Michael Vick's

257
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: brother Marcus, and they're battling for the quarterback spot. And

258
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: I said, remember them both out there. Put them both

259
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: out there, because here's what you can do. With vic

260
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: he's a receiver as well. He played receiver in a

261
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: bowl game with Randall. Put them out there together and

262
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: see what happens. Virginia Tech fans were like, no, you could,

263
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: And then a couple of fans were like, you know

264
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: what Marta think about that. That's got some possibilities as

265
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: long as they're athletically capable to handle the non quarterbacking

266
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: part of it, because you gotta be you gotta be

267
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: willing to risk that as a coach, and you're gonna

268
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: be willing to handle that or able to handle that

269
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: as a player. You know, and in flag football, like

270
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: what you're talking about last night with that championship game. Well,

271
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: they're not gonna die playing flag football. But you know,

272
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: the flag gets Jack's first day, they're gonna pull the flag. Okay,

273
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: NFL football, a lot of bad things can happen in

274
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: this scenario. That's true. By the way, you know, bringing

275
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: up Watson and design runs and everything, it was just

276
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: it just reminded me of the highlight video that's gonna

277
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: be run on ABC thirteen Saturday night at eleven o'clock.

278
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: People have to see this because you know, there is

279
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: one of those design runs in there. But that's not

280
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: the reason. The reason is because Watson's miked up from

281
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: time to time, and Watson or maybe it's Hopkins, but

282
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: you hear him talking on the sideline one of those

283
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: conversations and you saw it Fuller Hopkins Watson and they're

284
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: talking about something with you know, pass patterns or whatever,

285
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: and then you know whatever route they're running, and then

286
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: Watson just said, yeah, when that happens, just go to

287
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: the end zone. Just go to the end zone. I mean,

288
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. I think it was the Chiefs gave exactly

289
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: I love him, which is perfect. I mean, if Braxon

290
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: could still throw, if you put Braxton next to the sean.

291
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: You got to respect it. How about the Jets week

292
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: they ran with Braxton and the Cleveland game, how about that.

293
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying though, Mark, Oh, it's a forward

294
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: pass though, you'd have to hand it off. You'd have

295
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: to hand it off. So he hands off to him,

296
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: and then Braxton, instead of running around the left side,

297
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: just stops, plants sets his feed goes deep. It is

298
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: wide old, it's wide open. I know you know the

299
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: play that Sammy Coach scored. He remember he sat right

300
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: there and he told us he scored on the play

301
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: in the famous kick six game in twenty thirteen. Right,

302
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: he scored on the play for it right before you

303
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: know how he scored. They ran zone red, but they

304
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: faked the run and the quarterback, Nick Marshall came running

305
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: out to the left like Braxton would be, and the

306
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: defensive back got sucked up. Coach ran by him, Marshall

307
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: hid him for a touchdown. It's that same exact play

308
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: that I'm That was a great interview with Coach because

309
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: he talked about how he made that huge play. But

310
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: nobody remember the gafty nine seconds left. Oh my gosh,

311
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: that's like that you know, Hail Flutie game was in

312

329
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. Tag was absolutely hilarious. That's out idea,

330
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: so funny. It's inappropriate times, but so funny, which is

331
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: sad because my kids want to see it because it's

332
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: based on a true story. But I'm like, I don't

333
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: think it's one of those type of movies. Incredibles two

334
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: was outstanding that we saw. Um gosh, what was uh? Oh?

335
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: I saw Uncle Drew. My daughter wanted to go see

336
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: Uncle Drew. And it was better than I expected. It

337
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: wasn't too Webber and Lisa Leslie and Nate Robinson, Reggie

338
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: Miller were all excellent. Shack. They were all excellent, I mean,

339
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: really really good. So when I was there, I saw

340
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: a preview. This was actually a couple months ago. I

341
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: saw a preview, Yes, and I saw the date of

342
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: August third. I went, that's movie deep and I are

343
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: going to see it's Mila Kunis and Kate Kate McKinnon,

344
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: the spy who dumped me. Yes, I'm already all over Jenny.

345
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: It might be at twenty five on rot Tomatoes, twenty

346
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: five percent, Who cares, that's I think that's our movie.

347
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: I think in Uncle Drew, Tiffany Adish was in there

348
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: and I was. And last year I'll never forget I

349
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: roped John Harrison See Girls Trip with Me? What a

350
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: great sport. Not only did you go. You laughed as

351
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: hard as I did. I was such a check flick.

352
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: But we had so much fun. I see. That's the

353
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: thing to me, one of my favorite memories off the

354
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: field from West Virginia. Last I laughed, my laugh. It

355
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: was a riot. I thought, you know, if we come

356
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: back here, we gotta have a mood to go. See.

357
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: So the spy who, I'll totally see that with you.

358
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: It's a deal. It could be twenty five percent rotten tomatoes,

359
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: but it doesn't. That's kind of our thing on the

360
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: on the road. So we got a good deck because

361
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: we're not going to really be able to shop in

362
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: lewis Burg unless we go to the Greenbrier and that's

363
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, that's a little bit outside of my bank.

364
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: There are really no stores there. So there's also that

365
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: the ones that are there, it's like it's like Brooks

366
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: Brothers on steroids. You know, they've got like all the

367
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: nicest things in there. You're obviously not talking about where

368
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: we were staying where there were no restaurants. There are restaurants,

369
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: but there were no stores. And I thought Walmart was

370
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: a woman that was it. I asked Mark vander Meer.

371
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: I said, where do people in West Virginia buy clothes?

372
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: And he said Walmart. Walmart, that's where you're going to go.

373
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: I probably no shopping. My guess is in Charleston. There's

374
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: probably some nice stuff. There's probably some nice place. Oh yeah, Charleston's.

375
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: But it was kind of far. Yeah, that's kind of far.

376
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: So I don't think we're gonna be able to sell

377
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: the movies it is, Johnny. Yeah, so I'm totally cool

378
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: with that. But but looking forward to that, you had

379
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: a guy that I was a huge fan of when

380
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: I was covering college football many many years ago, Seneca Wallace,

381
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: and you had him in the other Day Yeah interview.

382
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: He was fantastic And I got to give a shout

383
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: out to JJ Moses. Yeah, he booked me up with that.

384
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: Who hooked me up with that interview. He's a good

385
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: friend of his and and we had talked about Seneca

386
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: off the year, many many times, even before Seneca was here. Obviously,

387
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: he was here for that AFFL Flag Football Ultimate Final championship.

388
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: He was the Pros. They lost, but he had been

389
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: His stats were just amazing heading into that chanampionship game,

390
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: like he was tearing it up. He was tearing it up.

391
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: Even NFL Network was all over it that all the

392
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: guys are miked up, so you could hear him talking

393
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: trash about being thirty seven years old and how he

394
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: still got it as he rushes in for a touchdown.

395
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: Now granted at seven on sevens, but you know, it's

396
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: a great interview. It's up on Houston Texans dot com.

397
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: It's on iTunes the latest Deep Silent podcast. He talks

398
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: about seven on sevens and how quarterbacks just love that.

399
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: And I thought, you're not the only one, because when

400
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 1: we go out to practice, that's our favorite. That's our

401
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: favorite to watch minus the team. But we don't really

402
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: get to see a lot of team outside of training

403
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: camp and definitely not I mean if you and ots,

404
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: but seven on sevens kind of where all the fun happens. Yeah,

405
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: that is you get to see the passing game and

406
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: of course with the receiver core that's here, you get

407
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: to see Hopkins do magical things and of course we

408
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: will Fuller, Bruce and Braxton. You get to see these

409
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: guys do some stuff in seven on seven which is

410
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: kind of fun. It's always typically seven on seven will

411
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: take place a lot of times, and training camp the

412
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: same time that one on ones with the offensive line,

413
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: defensive lot are taking place. So it's like, man, you

414
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: know what, I've watched seven on seven throughout all of

415
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 1: ots and mini camps. Okay, they can just go all

416
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: the Flyboys can go throw the ball around. I'm gonna

417
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: go watch the Big Uglies. I'm gonna go watch. So

418
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: I hardly ever watch what I missed some great stuff.

419
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: You do miss some great catches because Coppins will make

420
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: an acrobatic catch every single day, every day, I mean,

421
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: and it's still not routine. It's still amazing to watch,

422
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: and you just think, like, I hope I can catch

423
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: it on my phone so I can put on social media,

424
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: because I think it's so much fun for the fans

425
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 1: that don't get to make a catch practice. As far

426
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: as the Big Uglies, though, I think it's more fun

427
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: when we do joint practices with another team and then

428
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: they're going against other other players. That's a lot of fun.

429
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: When we went to San Francisco, we were at Santa

430
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: Clara forty sixteen. There are only certain places where we

431
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: could stand as media, which is to be expected, and

432
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: so the way that they had configured, I mean, you've

433
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: got two teams going at it, so they would separate,

434
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: then they come together, and they separate, they come together. Well,

435
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: they were doing as rush and you and I are

436
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: about three feet away. I was literally standing that close

437
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: to them doing one on one drills and it was awesome.

438
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: I mean I was. It was I almost started coaching

439
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: because I was that close to it. It's a lot

440
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: of it was really cool. And will be here this

441
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: this uh, this summer during training camp, the week after

442
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: we get back from the Greenbriar, they will They're gonna

443
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: be we'll be here for and they'll be here in

444
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: preparation for Game two, right, so, which is kind of nice.

445
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that the forty nine ers did not

446
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: want to travel all the way the Greenbrier because we

447
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: had to stay another week at the Greenbriar. But we

448
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: don't have to do that. We're only stay in two weeks.

449
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: But it'll be nice. But because of that, we got

450
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: to be down on the field and watch all that's

451
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: so much. That's what Bill Baron likes to call chippy.

452
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: Practice got a little chippy today. I thought, Okay, now

453
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: I now know what chippy means because I heard that

454
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: word in Denver when we did joint practices. Heard it

455
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: in Santa Clara when we practiced at the forty nine ers,

456
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: the famous one which is the famous one Secours training

457
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: center with the Washington Redskins. Oh, I mean that was full.

458
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't even think he dared to use the word

459
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: chippy after those practices well beyond oh my gosh, I

460
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: mean that that Hard Knocks episode is maybe the greatest

461
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: ending of all time. As Jonathan Joseph says, let's get

462
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: the bleep out of Richard and it just goes to black,

463
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: I was like, that was that was That was hilarious

464
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: because we all were there thinking the same thing, same thing. Cold.

465
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: It was miserable they had to cancel the well, Washington

466
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: canceled practice. We kept going, yeah, but we were all

467
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: done with Richmond at that point. Let's just go, let's

468
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: just start the season. It was all on the sp

469
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: It was crazy. DP. I wrote an article as we

470
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: get ready for a training camp for my Breakfast Today,

471
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: and I titled it the Ultimate Eleven, which is something

472
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: that I do and essentially it's just a my glorified list.

473
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: But I gave the name of the Ultimate Eleven, which

474
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: I should copy right one day. So if anybody ends

475
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: up with that copyright, they got it for me. Anyways,

476
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: I came up with my ultimate eleven most intriguing players

477
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: to watch a camp my my most intriguing players, and

478
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: I came up my number one was Tyron Matthew, just

479
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: because it's still surreal to see him as a Texan.

480
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: I just watching him. He was one of my favorite

481
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: college players because he did he did everything. He covered,

482
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: he hit, he blitched, he stripped the football, he rushed

483
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback, he did everything, and I'm always a big

484
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: fan of players that do that. And of course he

485
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: had personality. He was just he has a great personality.

486
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: It's just so much fun and I'm just so glad

487
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: that he's with this team. So I put him in

488
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,239
Speaker 1: number one. But I kind of run the gamut of

489
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: players that were most intriguing to me. So I said,

490
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: all right, and I gave you a challenge to come

491
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: up with your list of players. They You not have

492
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: to come up with eleven, but your list of players

493
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: that are most intriguing. And why I think. I think

494
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthews an excellent number one. He was up my

495
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: number one. But if we go beyond that list. Now

496
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: that pads are coming on, I have to put old

497
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: line in there. And I'm gonna start with Sean Trell

498
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Henderson just because I've seen him in the building and

499
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: he is humongous, and even the coaches say, he's uh

500
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: Mark van mccolmb, he's a small building walking around he is,

501
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: he's a small building. And then they talk about his footwork,

502
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: how they like his footwork, they like his size. So

503
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: I want to see what he's able to do, because

504
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: it seemed like he had so much potential until he

505
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: had his all of his stomach and gut issues, prone disease,

506
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: and so you know, you want to see a guy

507
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: with with the physical attributes and the fact that they

508
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: really like what they were able to see as far

509
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: as his technique, it really intrigues me. So I can't

510
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: wait to see him out there. A good one. Yeah,

511
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: that's a great one. When he walked in this yeah,

512
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 1: when he signed his contract that day and they were

513
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: all in here kind of car washing it, come and

514
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: throw a different he walked through. I was sitting right

515
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: where you are. That's usually marking eye together. I sit

516
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: there and I was looking at the door, and he

517
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: walked in. He filled up that entire door frame and

518
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: I almost said it out loud. I stopped myself because

519
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: I've done this before, but I was like, oh, my god,

520
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: you're huge. I didn't say that, and then he shook

521
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: my hand, and my hands pretty big. He shook my

522
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: hand and I was like, Oh, good lord, if this hits,

523
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: oh this could be a huge fins. That's a good one.

524
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: That's a very good I put Celio Calimete on mine

525
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: along with Martinus Ryank and Julian Davenport. Tell you know

526
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: what I have, Senio and Julion is like three a

527
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: three bright just because I've heard really good things about

528
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: Senio and what he was able doing. It seemed like

529
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: when the Texans sign him as a free agent, I

530
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: remember reading through the comments on Twitter, and so many

531
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: people were saying that it's really a loss for the Saints,

532
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 1: but the Texans will hopefully be able to get him

533
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: into a starting position, and it seems like, you know,

534
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: he's gonna lock up one of those guard spots based

535
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: on whatever we've seen out there. And then obviously Julian

536
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: Davenport saw a very little bit of him last year

537
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year, but taking over left tackle,

538
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: you really you really want to see that group gel

539
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: and work together. So those are there moving on from

540
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: the old line though, Kiki QT how much fun was

541
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: he to watch in OTA's I felt like every ball

542
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: that came his way, every drill they did, his hands

543
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: were amazing, his speed is amazing. Then you see him

544
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: on special teams and I just like that his name

545
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: is Keiki and Drake's got this hole in my feelings

546
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: thing going on, and I just feel like, I just

547
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: feel like he's gonna return a touchdown and he's got

548
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: to do the dance or I'm gonna he's got to

549
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: do it, or I'm gonna be so so disappointed in him,

550
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: Like I don't care if it's four months old at

551
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: that point. His name is Keky and he has to

552
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: do it. Oh that's great. I mean, he's he is

553
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: He's electrifying. He is electrifying. And I remember watching we

554
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: were flying to New England to play New England. We're

555
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: flying on Saturday, flying to New England last year and

556
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: Texas Tech was playing at uh which is one of

557
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: the downfalls of traveling on Saturday to the games. I mean,

558
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: we love going on those road trips. But when there's

559
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: a good local game, I mean like Texas Tech. Uh,

560
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: I've been a great one to go to sunny day.

561
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: It was hot and he's tearing it up. I mean

562
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: he destroyed them. He was. His highlights are unbelievable. Oh

563
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: he's so fun. And you talked about it when they're

564
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: throwing the football. When he's throwing football, he snatches it.

565
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: He does them buy he catch. He doesn't let it

566
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: get in near his body at all. There was one

567
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: catch he made in mini camp. It's gonna cross the middle,

568
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: and I can't remember. I think it was Joe Webb

569
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: maybe through it. It It was a little bit high. Now,

570
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: everything really to him is high because he's five to

571
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: nine in a quarter and he reached, jumped up and grabbed. Yeah,

572
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: I remember that catch. I was like, Wow, this guy's

573
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: got an opportunity. So I like that one. Yeah, and

574
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: somebody like you're saying some passes that you know you

575
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't you could forgive him if he didn't catch it.

576
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: It seems he seems to make a lot on them

577
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: of his general direction. The other one Aaron Colevin, Oh, yeah, sway,

578
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: what did you call him? The slick the Slickway. That's

579
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: that's his nickname. Oh did you make that from jackson

580
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: Oh that's him, that's him. He doesn't go by slick, right,

581
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: does he goes by slick? That's his nickname. Okay. I

582
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: didn't know if it was a Jacksonville thing or if

583
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: it's just an Aaron Colevin thing. I don't know. That's

584
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: just his nickname. I don't know how long he's been

585
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: going with him, but he puts the slick Way on

586
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: on all you know, his very social media, so uh

587
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: he does. Sometimes I don't want this to come out

588
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: sounding bad, but sometimes I forget that Aaron Colevin is

589
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: with us, and then when I remind myself, like, oh yeah,

590
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: Aaron Colevin, okay, cool, you know what? Okay? First of all,

591
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: I was kicking myself because last week on my podcast,

592
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: I had Cecil Shorts in here on the Hondy Texans

593
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: radio studio and we were just talking about Cecil post

594
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: playing retirement, you know, all that stuff. We talked about

595
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: the Texans, and I remember in my mind thinking, I'm

596
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna ask about the secondary. I need to ask about

597
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: the secondary. Need to ask about the secondary. And I

598
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: didn't write it down. So we did talk about the secondary,

599
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: and then as soon as we were done, we're walking out.

600
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: I was like, Aaron Colvin, they played together in Jacksonville

601
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: a year and so we talked about it. Yeah, we

602
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: talked about it off air and he said, Oh, that's

603
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: my guy. He's like, that's my guy. He was super

604
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: excited about Aaron Colvin coming here. Didn't allow a touchdown

605
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: last year and he's ranked third among slot corners, but

606
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: he's going to do more here for the secondary. I

607
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: think he's really excited about it, and I'm really excited

608
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: to see some battles with him against these receivers. You know,

609
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: it's interesting we talked about the offensive line at secondary

610
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: for so long as we were going into free agency,

611
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: and there were a lot of people I thought, Man,

612
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: it's Nate Solar or bust. We gotta get Nates sold

613
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: or what are we gonna do? And Nate Soldier ended

614
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: up commanding about fifteen million dollars per year. The Texans

615
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: were able to get Aaron Colvin and Tyrone Matthew essentially

616
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: who Tyron Matthew was not even on the radar until

617
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: free agency began. Yeah, because that's when he was released

618
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: by the Cardinals and the Texans were able to get

619
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: both of those players. It's it's sort of like in

620
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: twenty eleven when they got Jonathan Joseph Daniel Manning from Rice.

621
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: They could have gotten Namdi Awesome, wah, they got two

622
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: players for one. It's kind of the same thing and

623
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: it worked out even better for the same thing happens

624
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: with Colvin and Matthew that they're together, like Manning and

625
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: U and Jjo worked together. All right. Last guy on

626
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 1: my list justin Reid. Okay, I feel like I'm excited

627
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: to see what he's able to do. We saw a

628
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: little bit of him in OTAs and stuff, but you know,

629
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean I think when you put the pads on,

630
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: I want to see him. Wouldn't see the one on

631
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: one battles, Yeah, with him, I want to see where

632
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: they fit, where he fits into the second ar. I

633
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: want to see him with Tyrone, Matthew, I want to

634
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: seem with pads on. I want to see him with

635
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: pads on too. I want to Yeah, you can really

636
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: get a sense of these guys their physicality. Yeah, in training,

637
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: and I mean sometimes they're not gonna let the sec

638
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: and I know this having played safety because, as I

639
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: say now, back in the day, my day, it was safeties,

640
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: we were playing the run a lot, so we were

641
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: just hell bent and nobody was planning to block us.

642
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: We were just looking to hit anything and anybody. It's

643
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: a little different now you're not during practice, not let

644
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: those safeties come up and take a lot of shots

645
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: and things. But you can still see the physicality and

646
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: even with that without pads. He's a big guy. I

647
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: mean he's a big safety. I mean he's two ten,

648
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: two fifteen. Legit, two ten, two fifteen. So now you

649
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: put pads on and he's a heat seeking missile coming

650
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: up to help stop the run. I stick, I pinched

651
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 1: myself something. I was going, man, you got this guy

652
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: in the third round. I mean we talked about that

653
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: third round pick, like what are you going to be

654
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: able to find? What are you going to find there?

655
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: And they were going to find a guy like Justin Reid.

656
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: Good job, DP, excellent job. Looking forward, I'm looking forward

657
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: to seeing everybody these This is just a few and

658
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure these storylines are going to change as soon

659
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: as we see day one of practice, no doubt, or

660
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: day three when they put on pads, then it's then

661
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: then it'll be on ye speaking of three, August third,

662
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: keep that on your count, all right, August third, it's

663
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: down there. It is so big. News out of India

664
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: will go round in the NFL. Next right here in

665
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: Texans Access. One final sevement before we get out of

00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: here this evening on a Friday edition of Texans All

Speaker 1: John Harris. Glad to be with you. Got plenty of

669
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: work this weekend before we get off for the Greenbrier.

670
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: I've actually headed up on Tuesday. Everybody else will flap

671
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Practice will start on Thursday, So you schedule

672
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: next week. Wednesday, All Access will be live right there

673
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: from the Greenbrier UH Sports Performance Center from six to

674
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: seven Houston time, all the times with Houston time, so

675
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: six to seven Houston time, even though it'll be seven

676
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: to eight for us over there in West Virginia. But

677
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: looking forward to getting into eighty degree temperatures, that's kind

678
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: of sad to say. So we'll have that Wednesday night.

679
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: Then we will start Texas Training Camp live the next morning,

680
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: and we will carry that all the way for two

681
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: weeks until we get to. Our last show will be Wednesday.

682
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: I believe it's Wednesday before we fly to Kansas City

683
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: to take on the Chiefs of the preseason game. Team

684
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: fly home after the game. We'll all be home at

685
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: that point and then get ready for the forty nine

686
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: ers coming for practice the following week. So there will

687
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: be I think there are five training as you would

688
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: call them, training camp practices, opportunities for you to get

689
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: out to see this team the week after week, the

690
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: week after the Chiefs game. Essentially that I guess is

691
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: that that would be the third week. I guess it's

692
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: the fourth week of training camp. I guess you got

693
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of that little bit the first week, and then

694
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: you got a full week and you got a half

695
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: week we played the Chiefs, So yeah, I guess it's

696
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: it technollions Up being that fourth week, there'll be opportunities

697
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: for fans to get out here to see the Texans.

698
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: There'll be two opportunities to see them practice against the

699
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. I believe it's two. The information that

700
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday, Now obviously that can be subject to change.

701
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: There might be one practice to Niners and then one

702
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: that's close to the public. But I believe both them

703
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: are open to the public, so you're gonna get a

704
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: chance to see Jimmy Garoppolo, who went on a date

705
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: the other night with an adult film star and that

706
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: didn't go over well for some people, one in particular

707
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: who had a bunch of fake followers on Twitter. But

708
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: that's not for me to talk about in some sense,

709
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: Brit mckenry. But either way, Jimmy is getting it done

710
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: on the field. Off the field, it appears that's been

711
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: a big talking point this offseason, who Jimmy Garoppolo is dating.

712
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: And well, there you go. So there's that. All right,

713
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: let's go around the NFL. I don't know, maybe that's

714
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: your first piece, but probably the biggest piece of news,

715
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: if you will, around the league came from Indianapolis, Yes, Naptown.

716
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard met with the Indianapolis media and he said

717
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: that Andrew Luck is and I quote good to go

718
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 1: for training camp. How's that key for the Indianapolis Star

719
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,959
Speaker 1: put that out there. Quarterback will not have to begin

720
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: next week on pup. Luck will have no limitations, according

721
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: to Chris Ballard the GM I just mentioned, but the

722
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: Colts will monitor the former first overall pick and give

723
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: him scheduled days off to rest his surgically repaired shoulder,

724
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: said Ballard. And I quote, he's throwing the ball pretty well.

725
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: Colts to anticipate giving reps to Luck in the preseason.

726
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: He hasn't played. Last time he played was in twenty sixteen,

727
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: and they had a comeback win against the Jaguars that

728
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: final week to get the Colts to eight and eight

729
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, and Luck had a comeback win and I

730
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: remember seeing him celebrate and he had that big black

731
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: elbow pad on his throwing arm, and I just remember thinking, man,

732
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 1: this guy in that twenty sixteen game when we played

733
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: them up there, he got the UNI what beat out

734
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: of him that day and just kept stepping up next play,

735
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: next play. I mean, it was It was ridiculous. And

736
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: the fact that he wasn't around for twenty seventeen was

737
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: not too much of a surprise. Now the Colts have

738
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: put some pieces in place Ryan Kelly, they drafted a

739
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. They also drafted Quinn Nelson. They

740
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: have Anthony Costanzo left tackle. That's not bad. It's not

741
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: a bad place to start. Best center in college from

742
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Kelly the best guard maybe

743
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: that I've seen in a long time in quentn Nelson,

744
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: and the Costanzo has been as as good. He's been

745
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: good at left tackle. I don't know that I would

746
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: say he's been Dwayne Brown good, or he's been Trent

747
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: Williams good. He's in solid. If they get one of

748
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: the other picks Braydon Smith potentially to hit he was

749
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: a second rounder. If they get him at that other

750
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: guard spot, Yeah, they might be young, but that's a

751
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: line that's eventually going to grow and get better, and

752
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: that's that's what we have feared all along. Chris Ballard

753
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: if he had his quarterback, and he does and that

754
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: guy's healthy, he'll put the pieces around them. So luck

755
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: is good to go. Now. A couple of things. One,

756
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't played a long time Number two, even in

757
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: OTAs in mini camp, which was a skant five six

758
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: weeks ago, he was not throwing the duke as it

759
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: was asked of him. And in the off season he

760
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: was not throwing a duke. He's throwing a college or

761
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: high school football, which essentially the same thing he has

762
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: been throwing in that time since he's been working with

763
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: Frank Reich. I believe to learn the offense, obviously, but

764
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: also to throw the football. He's not done any eleven

765
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: on eleven. He's not done any seven on seven. He's

766
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: done none of that. So in the time that it's

767
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: gonna take, they report to camp, they play preseason game

768
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck in that time, which is not long if

769
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: you think about, like I said, the Texas starting the

770
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: twenty six. They play the first preseason game on August nine,

771
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: and they're expecting Andrew Luck to play in the preseason,

772
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: not for long, and they shouldn't play him long. I

773
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't imagine in the best situation. But he'll get some

774
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: reps in the preseason, but he hasn't. He hasn't thrown

775
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: football in a true football situation until he gets a

776
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: training camp. So I know, I know some are expecting

777
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: him to step right in. He'll be the Andrew Luck

778
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: of old man. This is gonna be tough. This is

779
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot tougher than then, it seems. But

780
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: it feels like they've taken this long a timetable. With

781
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: the Colts, they feel pretty confident with what they're going

782
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: to see from Andrew Luck. So they'll find out during

783
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: preseason and also during during training camp and preseason. What

784
00:37:54,640 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck does indeed have in that surgically repaired right shoulder. Now,

785
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: he is put in a lot of work. He is

786
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: apparently buff cut, Harve, you want to look at it.

787
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: He's put in some time in the Sports Performance Center

788
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: up there in Indianapolis. But Andrew Luck good to go. Now,

789
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: how does that change the AFC South? How does that

790
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: change what people think about the AFC South. I don't know,

791
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: but I saw this from USA Today yesterday they did

792
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: their division predictions. There is one division in football in

793
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: the NFL that has not one, not two, but three

794
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: teams with double digit wins. So one, and I've been

795
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 1: saying all along, is the best division of football twenty eighteen,

796
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: that is correct. It is the AFC South. Now, in

797
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: those predictions, USA Today has the Jaguars at twelve and

798
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: four and winning the division. They had the Texans second

799
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: at eleven and five in getting a wildcard, that the

800
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: Titans third at ten and six, also getting a wild card.

801
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: So three teams from the AFC South making the playoffs

802
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: this year. In twenty eighteen, under that scenario, they had

803
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: the Chargers at tenant six and the Steelers at tenant

804
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: six and the Patriots at eleven and five. So the

805
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: Jags and the Patriots will get the buys in the

806
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: first and second round. And then I don't know they

807
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: didn't they didn't separate tenant sixes between the Steelers or

808
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers. But if I did the math correct on it,

809
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: it would mean the Texans would go to the Chargers

810
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: for a playoff game. Now, the Texans have never played

811
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: a wild card playoff game on the road. They've won

812
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: the AFC South four times, so they have played an

813
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 1: opening weekend game here two thousand and eleven Bengals, twos

814
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: and twelve Bengals, two sixteen to fifteen Chiefs, thousand and

815
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: sixteen Raiders. They have always played a first round game

816
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 1: at home. We would love for them to get a buy,

817
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: no doubt, would love for them to get a buy.

818
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: They get a wild card and have to go on

819
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,959
Speaker 1: the road to take on the Chargers or Steelers, I'd

820
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: be all about it. I road playoff games, I'm telling

821
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: you one. Even though the Texas lost that night to

822
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots, that was as that was as fun a

823
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: night as I've ever spent on a sideline. That was amazing.

824
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: I kept looking around going it's NFL playoffs. Man, NFL playoffs,

825
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 1: got really excited. Now, USA Today did not think too

826
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: highly of the Colts. I believe they had him at

827
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 1: five and eleven. So I don't know if this news

828
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: changes things for people with the Indianapolis Colts and Andrew Luck.

829
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: But I still feel like that Colts roster has some holes.

830
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: And where they don't have holes, they have youth. But

831
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: they do I mean Andrew Luck now and apparently he

832
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: is going to be ready to go. That's been the

833
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: timetable all along. They have not pulled off it. But

834
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: last year that same that same thought was there about

835
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. Oh, he'll be ready to go, He'll be

836
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: ready to go, but turned out he wasn't. So has

837
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: been some skepticism. And I'll be honest, even the guy

838
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: hasn't thrown a ball until late July with his team

839
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: in practice and missed the entire year before. I get

840
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: a little bit worried. Now. I mentioned this to Mark

841
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: earlier in the show if you missed it. Last night

842
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: on the NFL Networked, Shawn Watson was interviewed and when

843
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: asked how he was feeling going into Camp one ready

844
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: to go. So that and I think we anticipated that

845
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: to the great I don't think there was anything earth

846
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: shattering in that. Be curious to see what Bill O'Brian

847
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: has to say about doctor Watson. But that all said,

848
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: I think it was a great sign to know, Okay

849
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: four's ready to go. Now. Similarly to the Innneapolis Colts,

850
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: how much do you let the Shawn Watson do? How

851
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 1: much do you let Andrew Luck do? I think it's

852
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: a question both Frank Right and Bill O'Brien have to

853
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: decide with those guys. Now, with Watson, there was never

854
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: an issue with the arm, but with the legs running

855
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: eleven eleven? How much live do you do? How much

856
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: two minute do you do? How much do you let

857
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: him do? Is? I think it's a valid question, and

858
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: I think it's one that Bill O'Brien has already figured

859
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: out a plan for. He's not gonna tell anybody, But

860
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 1: when he gets asked about it the Greenbrier, I'm sure

861
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: people are gonna get upset because he won't tell them.

862
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't tell me either. No coach should say that, Well,

863
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: we're not gonna tell you what the exact plan is,

864
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: we don't know, but there's gonna be a plan for Deshaun.

865
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll mean and off they hear

866
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: they're not participating in a drill limited preseason reps, I

867
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: don't know. Again, those joint practice reps are gonna be

868
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: huge against the forty nine ers that they have the

869
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: week after we get back after the Chiefs game, So

870
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: we're definitely looking forward to that. Hey, a big thanks

871
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: to Deep Cited for stopping by and talking to us

872
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: about her most intriguing players to watch. You want to

873
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: know what my ultimate leven were, go to Houston Texas

874
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 1: dot com. You could see my article from this morning

875
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: and see who I think are, my opinion, the most

876
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: intriguing guys. Look Watson, Watt, Merciless. Having all them back healthy,

877
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: yes they're intriguing. But there were other guys that I

878
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: feel like are very intriguing guys. I definitely and they

879
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: will have my eyes on at Green Barriers to go

880
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: check it out at Houston Texas dot com. Mark Vandimer

881
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: came by. He essentially pooh pooed my idea for two

882
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the game. I'm telling you there's gonna be

883
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: a team that does it, and everybody's gonna think that

884
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: it's groundbreaking. And I wrote an article two thousand and

885
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: four about it, so fourteen years later people are catching on.

886
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing it out there, just throwing it out there,

887
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you guys for listening. Thank you so much.

888
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: We will see you on Monday. Oh and then it's

889
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: training camp week. Have a great weekend, everybody. We'll see you.

890
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: Then let's always go Texa.
