1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the program. It's a big one

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: because it's OTA's week and we've got the General John

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: MacLean joining us, Mark vandermir and John Harris with you. General,

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: we were out there for OTAs. Give us your assessment,

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: what you thought overall view, Good evening.

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: Good evening, guys. I'm always interested in OTAs on new players, veterans,

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: specially rookies, and they got a lot of new players.

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: They got a lot of new players on both sides

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: of the ball. You can't tell Jack Squad about lineman

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: because they don't. They can't touch each other, breathe on

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 2: each other. But you can watch receivers run. You can

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: watch DB's turn and run with them. And the guy

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: liked watching running the most is tanked Own because not

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: often do you get shot and you can come out

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: and be ready to go the first day of OTAs

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: and look exactly like you look before you suffer what

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: was it a fractured fibula And he looks like he

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: did at this time last year as far as speed

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: and quickness, and so that's great to see when even

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: though Stefmon Diggs wasn't out there when we were the

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: idea of having Digs and Nego Collins and Tankdale and

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz other than forty nine ers. And I think

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: we've talked about this before, maybe the Lions. There's not

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: another team that can put four out there as dangerous

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: as they are, and they specialize in different things, so

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: it means the entire field is going to have to

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: be covered. And then I was eager to see Joe Mixon.

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 2: You know, Joe Mixon's big, a lot, bigger than Devin Singletaries,

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: bigger than their last thousand yard rusher, Carlos Hyde, which

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: is one reason he's been durable. So can't wait to

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: see him when they can start putting on the pads

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: and hitting somebody. But it's great to see him back

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: on the field. They're just as fired up as everybody

34
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: else is about the season. They're not going to talk

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: about the Super Bowl, they're not going to talk about records,

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: but you know they have I expectations for themselves.

37
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 3: Jenn One of the things that Demko talked about in

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: his presser after OTAs was Damian Pierce.

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 4: Of course, everybody wants talk about Damian Pierce.

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 3: It's almost like we're forgetting Joe Mixon's here, Like, hey, guys,

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: Joe Mixon, one of the better backs in the league,

42
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: is here. Because everyone wants to talk about Damien Damien

43
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: a bounce back. Maybe we're taking Joe Mixon for granted.

44
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: But one of the things that he did say at

45
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 3: the very end was, man, we look forward to having

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: that one two punch with Joe Mixon and Damian Pierce.

47
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: Damien obviously did not have the greatest year last year,

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: and he admitted there were some things that he wanted

49
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: to do a little bit better. When you heard me

50
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: go say that about the one two punch with Joe

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 3: Mixon and Damian Pierce, what are your thoughts? What do

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: you think about that potential a one to two punch

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 3: between Joe Mixon and Damian Pierce.

54
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: Well, if if we baser on last year, not much.

55
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: Pearson didn't learn this new scheme, and I'm guessing to

56
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: Miko would say that if he spent a lot of

57
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: time working on his scheme. But you can't be it.

58
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: But there's a certain discipline required to play in slowing

59
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: system if you're running back, where Damien liked to go

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: all out, all footballs to the wall and run over people,

61
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: when he had to. And you can still run over

62
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: people when you get on the second level, but the

63
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: key is to get there. And they would not have

64
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: traded for Joe Mix. And if Bobby Slowick did not

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: sign off on it and say this guy can play

66
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: our system, they would not have drafted Juwan Jordan if

67
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: Bobby Slowick didn't say this guy can play our system.

68
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: So this is a make or break here for Damian

69
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: Piers to show that he can figure it out. He's

70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: had a year to learn it. He's an eager learner,

71
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: he's a hard worker. He wants to excel. So if

72
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: that's the case and they're the one two punch, that's

73
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: tremendous And I can't wait to see jar d Jawar

74
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: Darden Darden Jordan. Sorry, get out on the field when

75
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: they can hit people too, because the fact that slowly

76
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: is encouraged to get those guys, you should have high hopes.

77
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: And another things off and under overlooked and underrated. Chris Strasser,

78
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: the offensive line coach, was coaching the system for the

79
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: first time, so he had to learn it. He had

80
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: to be taught the system by Bobby slogan is about

81
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: three fourths of the way through the season, I asked

82
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: him about it, and he talked about how much better

83
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: Chris Strasser gotten is he got more familiar with it.

84
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: So having your backs and your offensive line coach, not

85
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: to mention your a lineman having a year in this game,

86
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: that vodes very well for the running game general.

87
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: There are so many positives to talk about. We'll get

88
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: to them all. But what to you are the biggest

89
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: question marks they have remaining here? Look, they haven't played

90
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: a game. They're not going to play a game for

91
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: a long time, a real game for a long time.

92
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: The preseason will tell us some things, but obviously not everything.

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: What are some of the biggest question marks you still have,

94
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: if any.

95
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: Well, I wrote about one of the that's on Houston

96
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: Texans dot Com. I'll start there with the secondary. They

97
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: have nine backs who contributed last year who are now

98
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: No defensive backs are no longer on the team. They

99
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: brought in five cornerbacks. They have two safeties Callen Bullock,

100
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: and then of course Lottie Johnson came back. But I've

101
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: never seen a team bring in as many cornerbacks as

102
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 2: they have. With Kamari Lassiter being at I'm guessing he

103
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: will start, and then you know, you'd like for Jeff

104
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: Okuda or CJ. Henderson, the third ninth picks in the

105
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty draft, to finally play the way they were

106
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: projected to play. This is both of them's thirdeen. Tamiko

107
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: Ryan said he didn't care what happened in the past.

108
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: It was a clean slate. And because of this schedule

109
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 2: and the quarterbacks they play, Dave got to stay healthy,

110
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: a lot healthier and last year and played better than

111
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: they played last year because this is a rough schedule.

112
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: The other thing, you look at the offense, how many

113
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: jobs are open if everybody's healthy. Won left guard, and

114
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: you'd love for see Kenyan Green step up and fulfill

115
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: the potential he showed when Nick Serio drafted him in

116
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: the first round. It wouldn't surprise me if Jared Patterson

117
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: doesn't end up starting there because he proved he could

118
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: start and the team could win with him last year

119
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: when he was playing center. And I think the Lion

120
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: is going to be a lot better just strictly from health.

121
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: You start eleven offensive linemen because of injuries, that lack

122
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: of continuity is it could be debilitating. And yet they

123
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: won the division and won ten games in a playoff game.

124
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: With all those changes they've made, so one position open

125
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 2: on offense and on defense, I guess I'm going to

126
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: say that last ear will start outside, Desmond King will

127
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: be the nickel corner, and unless so Couter really plays well,

128
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: maybe he starts the season outside. But in the secondary,

129
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: of course, Jimmy Ward Jalen Petre will be the starting safety.

130
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: So most of the time it's about depth. But my

131
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: biggest question on defense with the tackles, I know who

132
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: they're talking about, Bully but O guy See and Tim Settle,

133
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: but with Kurnaheinisch and Khalil Davis being the primary backups.

134
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: But of all the positions, to me, after the performance

135
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: they got from Sheldon Rankins and Malie Collins, whoever the

136
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: two tackles are are really gonna step off to step

137
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: up because he got some big shoes to fill.

138
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: General, you kind of stole my thunder a little bit

139
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: with what I was gonna ask you. We all as

140
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: we walked on the field saw Kenyan Green and he's

141
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: in a new number, but he's also in a new body,

142
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 3: and I think that was what he really needed to do.

143
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,679
Speaker 3: So I'll just ask kind of a what if question.

144
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: What if Kenyan Green. I'm not talking Pro Bowl good,

145
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: I'm not talking all pro good, but what if Kenyon

146
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: Green is just solid? What does it mean for this

147
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: offense if you fill that one hole at left guard

148
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: with a Kenyan Green, a really talented young guy that

149
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: just gives you really solid play weekend and week out.

150
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, when Nick Cassario drafted him, you

151
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: draft a lineman in the first round, you expect him

152
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: to be good. Sure, and he started fourteen games, and

153
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: it was that Washington game in which he got physically

154
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: overpowered and embarrassed. And I would bet you that performance

155
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: is what basically turned around his career. He had to

156
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: set back. But if he didn't have the talent, he

157
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: wouldn't be there. Everybody say he's a great guy, he's

158
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: hard worker, everybody's pulling for him. He's got veterans competing

159
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: with him. You know, we overlook Kendrick Green. They won

160
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: games with Green as a guard last year, so they've

161
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: got depth. But it would be a tremendous deal a

162
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: Nick Area gosh and the key thing for him, I

163
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 2: think to have all this time to hit the weights

164
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: and to work on his body and not make his

165
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: body look better to but get stronger, because you guys, know,

166
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 2: if you're an offensive lineman, especially if you're a young guy,

167
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: and you think you're strong and you're tough, and you

168
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: get on there and some guy across from you just

169
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: rag dollser, You're like, oh my goodness, your confidence is shot.

170
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: What am I going to do? I can't block this guy.

171
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 2: I need help, and your teammates know you need help.

172
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: So he could be one of the biggest surprises and

173
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: nicest surprises on the team if he could start, stay healthy,

174
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: say start fourteen fifteen games like he did as a rookie,

175
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: and I think if he can't, they'll still have guys

176
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: to play that position. But considering how highly they thought

177
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: of him, he would be a tremendous addition to the

178
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: starting lineup if he can win the job and stay healthy.

179
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: General, they have four preseason games, like we said, because

180
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: it's the Hall of Fame game, and we'll talk about

181
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: this more as we cat closer, But your thoughts from here,

182
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: how do you think they handle the preseason game reps?

183
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: By and large? How much action does C. J. Stroud

184
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: see the rest of the starters? What are you thinking there.

185
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: I'm guessing that Stroud and Caleb Williams might play a series.

186
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 2: But what's interesting to me? And I talked to Tamiko

187
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: Ryans for that story I have on Houston Texas dot

188
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 2: Com about you got so many new defensive backs? He

189
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: got all these corners, they're all veterans that you've bought

190
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: in plus Tomorrow Lasseter. And so because of the turnover

191
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: in the secondary, how do you get them all enough

192
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 2: practice time at camp, playing time in preseason to properly

193
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: evaluate them? And he said that extra game is going

194
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: to help so much with an area like the secondary.

195
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: And I haven't thought about that, but you know, we're not.

196
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 2: There's no reason to see Jimmy Ward or Jalen Beetrie

197
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: or Derek Stingley, junior Desmond ging. They got plenty of

198
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: new guys out there they got to look at and

199
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 2: any other say defensive tackle, any other positions that they

200
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: think is important. Having that extra preseason game is great

201
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: for Demiko's favorite word, competition.

202
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, definitely, competition. It'll be competition throughout the FC

203
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 3: South general. I just there's a part of me with

204
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts that's I don't want to say I'm

205
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: frustrated by it, but they've tweeted and posted and put

206
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 3: on Instagram more videos of Anthony Richardson talking about him

207
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: as he's the next He's the next Andrew Luck and

208
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: this guy has played a total of about twenty two

209
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: games in four years. I understand he's very talented, but

210
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson has not proven himself in this league and

211
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: I hope it continues that way, obviously for our sake.

212
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: But what are your thoughts about Anthony Richardson with the

213
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: Colts And do you think he could be that guy

214
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: that they're thinking that he's going to be with all

215
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 3: that talent. What are your thoughts Anthony Richardson And what

216
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 3: does it mean if he's healthy and he's really good

217
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: for the Colts.

218
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: John They did that last year too. Tried only started

219
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: thirteen games in college. They were really praising him and

220
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: playing him up, and I'm guessing, without knowing him, he

221
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 2: didn't need that kind of ego boost, but they gave

222
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: it anyway. I know they wanted people to be fired

223
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: ups a new head coach. And then he did well,

224
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: but he got hurt every game. He scored two touchdowns

225
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: here and they beat the Texans and then he played

226
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: some more and than he's done for the season. So

227
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: as opposed to the Texans who last year, Demigo would

228
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 2: never say Stroud was the starter, no matter how many times,

229
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: how many ways we asked him, even though we all

230
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: knew he was. We said he would be, but Demigo

231
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: low keyed it. Just the opposite of the Colts. And now,

232
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: how many videos, other than showing Stroud out helping people

233
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: in the community, how many videos do we see the

234
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: Texans putting out about Stroud. They don't go overboard like

235
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 2: the Colts are, and there's no need to. I mean,

236
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: he's getting enough attention on social media and around the NFL.

237
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: But the more you play somebody up, the more pressure

238
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: there is on them. I'm guessing they figure Ar can

239
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: handle it. But just like you said, John, the guy

240
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: has not started a whole lot of games, and last

241
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: year being able to watch and learn behind Gardner Minshew

242
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: probably was well not probably was good for him. And

243
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: so they're going to be all fired up that Richardson's

244
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: going to be their Stroud. The Jaguars are going to

245
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: be certain that Trevor Lawrence is finally going to be

246
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 2: the great quarterback, the generational quarterback. Guy's going to make

247
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: fifty five million a year or whatever in his extension.

248
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: And then the Titans are hoping they don't know for sure,

249
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: new coach, new coordinator, new staff, that they're doing everything

250
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: they can to be able to make an accurate judgment

251
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: on Will Levis if he can be the franchise quarterback

252
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: or if they're gonna have to worry about it again

253
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: next year. So watching these young quarterbacks in the AFC

254
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: South is going to be so much fun.

255
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: Somewhat of a rhetorical question here as far as teams

256
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks or quarterbacks coming back from rehab stants like

257
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: rehabstance sounds bad by the way, I'm talking about injury

258
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: rehab stant like Deshaun Watson or Levis being a second

259
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: year guy or whatever. Is there anything less relevant than

260
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks looking good this time of year, especially young ones

261
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: who haven't proven themselves or guys who haven't proven that

262
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: they can come back from an injury yet.

263
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: I know this. When you watch a guy out there

264
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: and nobody can hit him and nobody can pressure him,

265
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: and when he completes passes, boy, you know he's gon

266
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: be great. You know, the truth of the matter is

267
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: that OTAs don't mean jack squat when it comes to

268
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: completing passes and running and all that. It means a

269
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: lot on the mental part. You know, we can watch

270
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: a defensive back make a great play he's and you

271
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: know it's everybody will say all the right things and

272
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: it looked great on social media, but it doesn't mean

273
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: anything whether the guy's going to play or not. How

274
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: many times have we ever heard a team have a

275
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: slow start say, oh men, we should have been better

276
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: in OTAs, We should have put more emphasis on OTAs.

277
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: Never ever have I heard anybody bring up OTAs when

278
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: it has anything to do good or bad and regular season?

279
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: How many times did Demiko say last year, well, we

280
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: won ten games and we want to playoff. Game forty

281
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: five was fourteen because of how we did, notas. If

282
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: we hadn't have done great, no tas, we might have

283
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: finished in second or third place. It doesn't happen. It's

284
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: about learning, coaches learning they're players, and the players learning

285
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: what's expected from them from the coaches. Players have to

286
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: be coached differently. If there's a guy who's a slow learner,

287
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: you can't you can't coach him the way there's a

288
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: guy that picks up everything and immediately and it translates

289
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: quickly onto the field. But you know, everybody's is expounding

290
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: on how well their players are doing in OTAs, and

291
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: I think a lot of that might be for fans,

292
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: because fans are so fired up, and you know, they're

293
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: the ones that pay the freight.

294
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: I think I've seen teams that look bad offensively in

295
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: OTAs where that's panned out where they're not good offensively. Now,

296
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: last year the Texans and OTAs, I wasn't particularly over

297
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: the moon with the offensive performance in OTAs, but I

298
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: knew that they were breaking in a rookie quarterback, a

299
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: new system and Davis Mills, Yeah, twenty five starts under

300
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: his belt, but it's a new system. And then we

301
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: saw we saw offensively a gigantic leap forward in the

302
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: regular season. So I guess you never know. But I've

303
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: also seen it here where man, they struggle on OTAs

304
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: on offense, and it's a struggle during the season as well.

305
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: I think what I'm seeing out there, though, there's a

306
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: lot of iron sharpening iron out there in general that,

307
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: like we said, I know that's the thing, but there

308
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: are different ways you can put it. You know, we

309
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: make each other better, whatever. But I'm thinking this defense

310
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: and offense after they both took big leaps in the

311
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: league statistical categories, and obviously wins loss is the most

312
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: important thing out there. I'm thinking that this is among

313
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: the most talent they've ever had, if not the most

314
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: talent they've ever had. I don't know where to pinpoint

315
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: it just yet. I think we have to see them play,

316
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: but it's right up there. General your thoughts, Well, you.

317
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: Saw some negativity in OTAs because you're just such a

318
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: negative guy. Usually if you see bad things in OTA,

319
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: you go see bad things in training camp, you're gonna

320
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 2: see bad things and preseason bad things in regular season.

321
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: You know, last year we saw Nico Collins flash as

322
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: he'd done the year before. We all wanted to see

323
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: Stroud be superhuman, and no rookie is superhuman in OTA's

324
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: because they do so little, especially when we're out there

325
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: in the media, they don't want us seeing anything. But

326
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: I think you either know youve got talent or you don't.

327
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: And we knew they had some talent last year, but

328
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: certainly not the talent to win leven games and win

329
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: a playoff game and be tied at halftime at Baltimore.

330
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: By the way, I can't wait for that Christmas game.

331
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: I want them to treat the Ravens like they did

332
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 2: when Gary Kubiak was the offensive coordinator and they came

333
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: here and the Texans beat them, and to get a

334
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 2: little revenge because they've never beaten Lamar Jackson. But just

335
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 2: right now, everybody's so fired up. Even if we saw

336
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 2: guys drop passes, we're not gonna be thinking anything negative

337
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: about the season. When it comes to OTA's.

338
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 3: General, I'm gonna ask you a questions that you brought

339
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: the Ravens. I asked this question of Mark the other day.

340
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 3: Would you rather go three and one to start the

341
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: year and finish one in three or start the year

342
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 3: one in three but finish three and one.

343
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: It's not what you do in September and October, and

344
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 2: I know the records count, the games count the same,

345
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: but it's always men, it's what you do in November

346
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: and December, now in January. So I take the three

347
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: and one close. It means you've played Kansas City, you've

348
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: played the Ravens, you've played the Titans. I can't remember

349
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: who the other one is. But if you win those

350
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: three of the last four, it means probably means you

351
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 2: got something to play for. And if you do and

352
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 2: it's the playoffs, then you're going to be on a roll.

353
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 2: Because if you go one in three at the end

354
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: and you don't make the playoffs, no time to recover.

355
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: So give me, give me a one in three and

356
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: a three and one.

357
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 4: There you go.

358
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: Which would be more shocking the Patriots winning eight nine

359
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: or the Titans winning eight to nine.

360
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 2: Oh, the Patriots would be a bigger shocker. They don't

361
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: have talent. Titans still got a good defense. They added

362
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: to Andres Sweat next to Jeffrey Simmons, and remember Simmons

363
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: didn't play behalf of last season, and they've added a

364
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 2: lot of offensive weapons to key for them. Can Will

365
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 2: Levis be their quarterback? And even though they don't play,

366
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 2: have Derick Henry anymore? Henry wasn't an issue with the

367
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: Texans last year. That's another thing. John, you finished three

368
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: and one, Maybe you beat the Ravens for that victory,

369
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: or you've beaten the Chiefs. But if you beat the Ravens,

370
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 2: it means you've beaten Derrick Henry again. And so I

371
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 2: think the Titans have a much better chance of winning,

372
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: say eight games, than the Patriots do, because you know

373
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 2: the Patriots are going to be playing Drake may maybe

374
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: not the start of the season, but it won't be long.

375
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: General, what team that made the playoffs last year or

376
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: this past year do you think is I don't want

377
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 3: to say a lot to not make it this year,

378
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 3: but you think, man, you know what, it's really dicey

379
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: that they're going to make the playoffs this year.

380
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 2: Cleveland, Cleveland.

381
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 3: Maybe if they don't make the playoffs in Cleveland with

382
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 3: the Shawn Watson as a quarterback.

383
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 4: As it's set on Twitter, fold the franchise, that.

384
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: Division is very tough. If when I'm looking around, you

385
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 2: know there's AFC South had three teams with winning records,

386
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the AFC West NFC West, I would

387
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: say Cleveland because the division is so tough. Pittsburgh could

388
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: finish last night. If you ask me a team goes

389
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: last to first, I'd say Cincinnati because Joe Burrow and

390
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 2: they did a great coaching job last year. Uh and

391
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: Brian Callahan, the new Tennessee coach, had a lot to

392
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: do with that, you know, when you got Jake Browning

393
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: playing over uh Joe Burrow in place of Joe Burrow

394
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: because these are and you still have a winning record,

395
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: that's some tremendous coaching and tremendous playing. So I'd say

396
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 2: leave one not to make it. Cincinnati just replaces the

397
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: Browns and they make it.

398
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: Wait does the AFC North play who the AFC West?

399
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: I guess no, we are playing the Ana so they

400
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: are playing each other. You know what they should have

401
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: done in that round robin at the end of the year,

402
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: this would have been better. I would put the Kansas

403
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Who are they playing the Steelers in the

404
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: follow up game on Christmas?

405
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 4: Yep?

406
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: And I know the Steelers sell tickets or get eyeballs whatever,

407
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: but man, the Bengals would be better because general, what

408
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: do you think of the Steelers? We talk about that

409
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: four team situation where they're going to criss cross and

410
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: round robin each other. Play on Saturday, then you crisscross

411
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: and play on Christmas Day Wednesday. If it was the

412
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: Bengals instead of the Steelers, maybe a better chance to

413
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: have a contender or not. Do you think the Steelers

414
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: are actually a contender by then or still at that point.

415
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts.

416
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: No, I think they'll be a contender for a winning

417
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: record because Mike Tomlin does not have losing records. But

418
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: I also think Justin Fhiels will be the quarterback by then,

419
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: and I'm not Here's what I've asked this question. Pete

420
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: Carroll's going to be in the Hall of Fame. He

421
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: dumped Russell Wilson. Sean Payton's going to be in the

422
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. He dumped Russell Wilson. Mike Tomlin's going

423
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: to be in the Hall of Fame, and why does

424
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 2: he think he can do what they couldn't do? So

425
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: I'm assuming he'll be out after this year. But I

426
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 2: also think Justin Phils will be the quarterback near the

427
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: end of the season. Don't know if it'll make a difference,

428
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: but at least he's got a future and they'll probably

429
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 2: end up nine to eight again and in last place.

430
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 2: But I just don't like the move they've made to

431
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 2: bring in Russell Wilson when it didn't work for the

432
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 2: last two teams.

433
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: So Russell Wilson won a Super Bowl and he lost

434
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. If he gets back to the playoffs

435
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: with the Steelers somehow and goes on a little run.

436
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: Let's say divisional round. Maybe let's just say AFC Championship game.

437
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: Is Russell Wilson a Hall of Famer not.

438
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 2: A first ballot? No me? A first ballot hall of

439
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: Famer ought to be a no brainer, no questions. And

440
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 2: when Eli Manning comes up, there's going to be a

441
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 2: lot of debates. Yes, I want two super Bowls, but

442
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: its stats, his record, and in those Super Bowls he

443
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: made it. He made a great escape, and he threw

444
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 2: a ball up for grabs, the Tyree David Tyree Maiden.

445
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 2: He and Julian Edelman have the greatest Super Bowl catches

446
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: in the history. And he did do a touchdown past

447
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 2: to Blascolle Burris. The other one next Super Bowl is

448
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 2: great sideline past to Mario winning hand. But is that

449
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: a Hall of Fame quarterback? So that's going to be

450
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: a big debate. Now, Russell Wilson, I don't. I just

451
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: don't think it'll be right away. I think you'll have

452
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: to wait. And if Eli makes it, I think you'll

453
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: have to wait as well.

454
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: How did you feel about Kurt Warner when he was up?

455
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 2: There was a lot of debate about Kurt, but he

456
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: was you know, MVP super Bowl, MVP super Bowl winning quarterback.

457
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 2: He helped the Giants get to the super Bowl. He

458
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: was played. Brought him in over Eli Manning and I

459
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: can't remember how long it took in. I thought he

460
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: was borderline, but you know, he made it. I would

461
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: never brought against vote against the guy to get to

462
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 2: the final five. When he gets to the file five,

463
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 2: I vote yes on everybody, even if there's people I

464
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 2: think don't deserve it.

465
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: By the way, Santonio Holmes with like a word about

466
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: greatest Super Bowl catches.

467
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was a great one. Lynn Lynn hare

468
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: longer and he wouldn't have been able to catch it.

469
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: Yep.

470
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: Lyn Swan would like a like a word as well,

471
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: general last one from me football, NFL football in Australia.

472
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 4: How you feel about that?

473
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,479
Speaker 2: I think he gets coming. I think China's coming as well.

474
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: You talk about the Middle East. I don't know why

475
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: they want to go to the Middle Yeah, I know why,

476
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: because of gambling. It's all about money, all about gambling.

477
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: Yes they want to sell some merchandise, but it's about gambling.

478
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: And I think China is coming soon. And I think

479
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: Australia would be tremendous go down there and play where

480
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 2: they play rugby in Australian rules football. It'd be a

481
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: tremendous trip.

482
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, they should just get some of that live money,

483
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: right that lives your money to say, hey, we'll play

484
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: a game there. Give us a half a bill and

485
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: we'll play a bowl game.

486
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 2: Right they the Saudi Arabia could say to them, Okay,

487
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 2: we'll give you one hundred billion dollars. We'll only have

488
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: six hundred billion left to come over here and play

489
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 2: a game. Yeah, the owners do it. It's just like

490
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 2: right now, the NFL has a rule you can't have

491
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: foreign ownership. But if the ill live people came over

492
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 2: and said, look, how about we give you fifty billion

493
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 2: for they're going to himself he is. You think they

494
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: wouldn't be rewriting those bylaws.

495
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a possibility. Well, we'll see if it

496
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: comes to that. General. What do you have going on

497
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: in Houston Texans dot com?

498
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 2: I've got the story I put up today that was

499
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: about the secondary and all the changes. The biggest turnover

500
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: in the secondary as far as players now tough some

501
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: of the decisions are very difficult. Even though they have

502
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 2: only one starting job open. I think I'm going to

503
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: do one next week because I heard this being kicked

504
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: around on the NFL network. One guy's NFL Radio said

505
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: I would never hire a head coach who was a

506
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 2: defensive coach, because if your offensive coach is good, he's

507
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: going to be gone. And they specifically talked about Bobby slowing,

508
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 2: and I'm going to write how I believe that is

509
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, because of

510
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 2: a guy like Dradd Johnson ready to step up, and

511
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 2: they will always have somebody waiting in the wings where

512
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: they don't have to make radical changes bringing in a

513
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator because they're going to play that same

514
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 2: system because it's tried and true.

515
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: Yep, and they've got a quarterback who loves it. General,

516
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: thank you very much.

517
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: Mark and John thank you very much as always.

518
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, Johnny and I will do more

519
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: likely to happen and maybe talk about how they could

520
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: possibly play a game in Australia. What's that going to

521
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: take with the time difference and everything else, those are

522
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: big factors. It's Texans Radio, all right, Thank you, John

523
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: so glad you're with us here on Texans Radio tonight.

524
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermer and John Harris with you, and we are

525
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: ready to play. More likely to happen, Johnny, are you ready?

526
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 4: Of course?

527
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: Let's go.

528
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 4: More likely to happen, all right?

529
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: More likely on the Houston Texans to be second in

530
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: tight end receptions here, because we all assume Dalton Schultz

531
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: leads the team in tight end catches. Kate Stover or

532
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: Brev Jordan who's going to be second on the team

533
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: in receptions among tight ends?

534
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 3: More likely to happen? Still, Jordans Man, you're tugging at

535
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: my heart strings. You know. I love Brev and Stover

536
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: has been really, really impressive at OTAs. Just watching a

537
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 3: rookie mini camps, watching him work and then seeing him

538
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: at OTA's going against not just you know, the the

539
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 3: younger guys with the twos and the threes, but facing

540
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: off against some of the vets and one on one

541
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 3: stuff or I should say one on one stuff, but

542
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 3: in man coverage all that kind of stuff.

543
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: He just looks.

544
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: Stover looks really good. I'm gonna go with Brev just

545
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: because I think just having that veteran presence part of

546
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 3: me wants Brev to really kind of take take another step.

547
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 3: I would love to see that for him. We love

548
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 3: Brev and obviously we love Kate, but I'm gonna go Brevin.

549
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 3: I just there's a part of me that feels like,

550
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: you know, this is one of those years where forty

551
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,479
Speaker 3: to forty five catches, man this, you know, be healthy

552
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 3: for the whole season, have that opportunity. But I'll tell

553
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: you this, if the tight Ends kind of leave the

554
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: door open with injuries or missus or whatever, and Kate

555
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: Stover is healthy, He's gonna bust through that door and

556
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 3: end up being the leading receiver.

557
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 4: From the tight ends.

558
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: If they if they're not careful, if they you know,

559
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: we've seen them miss some games in the past. If

560
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: they open the door, Stover is ready to jump right

561
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: through it. It'd be hard to sit them down.

562
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely, there's no question, I.

563
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: Think obviously, and I know you probably feel this way too.

564
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: Schultz healthy, Schultz the man, but yes, not healthy. We

565
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: don't want to see that. No, and Stover could step

566
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: up and Bred certainly could catch a lot of balls.

567
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: And I think, particularly if you have some injuries to

568
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position group as well, not that he's

569
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna play flat out receiver, but he's gonna eat up

570
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: some of those reps perhaps in certain situations. All right,

571
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: let's get to the next one.

572
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 4: More likely to happen.

573
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: All right, stay with me here, most likely to be

574
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: fourth on the team and catches among wide receivers, because

575
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go digs and eco tank in any order

576
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: you want, one, two, and three. So who's the Who's

577
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: this guy? Is it Noah Brown? Is it John Metchi?

578
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: Is it Robert Woods, Ben Scarnic, Xavier Hutchinson, one of

579
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: the Jack Rabbits, perhaps anybody else who's most likely to

580
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: be fourth on the team in wide receiver receptions assuming

581
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: the top three guys stay healthy.

582
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 4: I'm going to go with the guy that CJ.

583
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 3: Stroud talked about at his press conference.

584
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 4: I can't remember who that was. Maybe when conditioning.

585
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 3: Opened up, yep, he said, John Metchi. And just watching

586
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 3: Mechi at OTA's it just feels like that's the Mechi

587
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 3: we remember from Alabama. That's the Mechi remember for the

588
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 3: torn ACL and you think about tearing at ACL December

589
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, he starts rehabbing, He gets to rehab,

590
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 3: he gets drafted and Texans move up to get him

591
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: in a second round, like, okay, look, rehab that ACL,

592
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 3: we'll get you halfway through your rookie year in twenty

593
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: twenty two gets you know, uh, late in the summer.

594
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 4: Getting ready for training camp. Leukemia. Then he's got to

595
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 4: battle that.

596
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 3: So last year he's on the field for the first

597
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: time basically since December twenty twenty one. He's not yet

598
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 3: a year removed from beating leukemia. You know, he's not

599
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 3: going to be at that at that level. You can

600
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 3: tell that he is shaking off the rust and showing

601
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 3: that he's got more explosive, more more sudden, more explosion,

602
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 3: more suddenness, more twitch, and you point at him and go,

603
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: that's that's what we remember. That's what we remember from Alabama.

604
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: And I think he's starting to get his confidence a

605
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 3: little bit more. I think the biggest thing for for

606
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 3: Mechi and that this is gonna sound strange. Last year

607
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 3: they were just tried so hard to get him in

608
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: the end zone. He had that game against the Browns

609
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 3: where he made some catches, dropped a couple, and then

610
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 3: he had one of his hands in the end zone

611
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 3: and he dropped it. I think just getting him a score,

612
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 3: getting him a touchdown, letting him celebrate and just get

613
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: that kind of I say, monkey off his back, but

614
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 3: just to have that burden just all right, man, I scored,

615
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: I got my first NFL touchdown. All right, let's settle

616
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: in and let's play. I'm gonna go with John Metchi.

617
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna go Metch.

618
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: You break the seal, get him going have a big game,

619
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: get him going seven for Tuddy, and it's like, yes,

620
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: all right, okay, good, We've got another option that if

621
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: CJ needs it, he's got it.

622
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 4: He's got it available to.

623
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: You'd love to see it, all right, next door to happen,

624
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: all right? Most likely to be third in yards among

625
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: the running backs here again, I'm going to assume the

626
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: top two or Joe Mixon and Damian Pierce. But is

627
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: it Jawar Jordan, is it Darre? Is it somebody else, Johnny,

628
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: somebody we're not thinking of necessarily? Who's going to be

629
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: third on the team in rushing yards among the running backs?

630
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: Boy man, you came with the good ones today. Well

631
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: look what I did. I didn't stick with the who's

632
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 3: going to be top category?

633
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 4: No, no doubt.

634
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: You know we could do that another time, and we

635
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: have done stuff like that, but I just went deep.

636
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: But when deep album cuts today.

637
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 3: But you know, the the interesting thing is we have

638
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 3: done something like this, you know, off and on. You know, hey,

639
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 3: who's gonna be But we've always said who's going to

640
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: be the leading receiver, who's going to be the leading type.

641
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: Now we're talking about who's going to be the third

642
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 3: leading receiver for the fourth leading receiver, who's going to

643
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 3: be the fourth tight end, third tight end or whatever.

644
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 4: That shows you the depth that's on this team. So

645
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 4: I think it'll be Juar.

646
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 3: Jordans again have to stay healthy, but I think Jordan

647
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 3: given opportunities. Here's the thing though, with Juar, I think

648
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 3: he's on the field. It could be in a third

649
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 3: down situation, so that might be more receptions and it

650
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 3: ends up being rushing yards. But I think Jordan gives

651
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 3: them a little bit a little bit of different, uh,

652
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: just a different kind of flavor than you get with

653
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 3: Joe and with Damian.

654
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 4: So it's a nice little change up.

655
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: And look, I mean Darry's dependable in a third down situation.

656
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: He knows who to block, he knows who to pick

657
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 3: up and blitz, pick up, So there's gonna be opportunities

658
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 3: for Daria as well. But we know how valuable Dara

659
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 3: is on special teams and what he brings to the

660
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 3: special teams, and you know, he's one of Frank Ross's dudes.

661
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 4: I mean, he's just been he's been here for a

662
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 4: while contributing to special teams. We know the obviously the

663
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 4: field goal against Tampa Bay last year. But I feel

664
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 4: like Jordan just gives them a little bit.

665
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 3: It's a little bit different flavor of what he can

666
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: bring in both the run a pass games. So I'm

667
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 3: gonna go with Juar Jordan, which is, you know, tough

668
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: to say, a six round rookie gonna get those those

669
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 3: kind of touches.

670
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 4: Who's to say the majority of them obviously will go

671
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 4: to those top two guys if they stay healthy.

672
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 3: Here's my question back to you, Mark, if one of

673
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 3: those guys got healthy, because I almost went with the

674
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 3: option you kind of mentioned a little bit and that

675
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 3: is guying out on the roster yet ooh, could it

676
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 3: be a guy guy down in the roster yet, or

677
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 3: maybe Joe or Damon gets banged up, like hey, we

678
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 3: got to bring a guy in.

679
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: That's the thing. That's what it's gonna necessitate. I don't

680
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: think they bring anybody in obviously, and unless they get

681
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: somebody hurt, yeah, they gotta feel really good about what

682
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: they have. A running back right now.

683
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 3: David David Johnson retired, so that's that's that's not doing that.

684
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 4: I think Rex has retired, so that's out.

685
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: By the way, we're just having fun here people, Yeah,

686
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: of course, and we love those guys. Just having fun guys.

687
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I would think if you brought somebody in

688
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 3: that that might be the third one.

689
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 4: I just I'm curious. I think war is gonna have

690
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 4: really good preseason. I just do.

691
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: And I you know how I felt about that guy.

692
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 3: We're sitting these chairs right here. Hey, Texans are going

693
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 3: to draft to war Jordan in the sixth round or

694
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 3: whatever it was. And I was like, wait, a six round.

695
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 3: We just got jar Jordan. Year before that we got

696
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 3: Xavier Hutchinson. Now we've got Jair Jordan. I think you

697
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 3: can get something from from Juar Jordan. By the way,

698
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 3: I didn't mention X when we talked about receivers who

699
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 3: could be number four. I think X has an opportunity

700
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 3: to really be something kind of used in that like

701
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 3: he was last year. You know, they'd flip them those reverses,

702
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 3: they would put him in a backfield. They just they

703
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 3: changed things up and gave different looks when he would

704
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 3: get the ball in his hands. There's a part of

705
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 3: me that thinks that they're gonna open some things up.

706
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 3: It's gonna open some things up for him with opportunities

707
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 3: as they go through this thing.

708
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: But well, hang on, let's do the count right here.

709
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: We'll go back to receiver here because we've got the

710
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: big three. I'll just call them that with Nico, Tank

711
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: Diggs in no particular order. Okay, you got Noah Brown,

712
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: John Matchi, Scronic, Yeah, and you got Hutch. The jack

713
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: Rabbits are undrafted free agents.

714
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 4: You mentioned Bobby True.

715
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: Oh, Bobby Tree is of course, yeah, mister third down. Yeah.

716
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: So you got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

717
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: I got eight right there, and they're all guys that

718
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: you like. They just acquired Scaronic and you got to

719
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: feel like they have a use for him.

720
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 2: Dad.

721
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: It might not be it's not gonna be to catch

722
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: one hundred balls, no no, but it's going to be

723
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: the block to make a key catch here or there,

724
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: to catch some of those San Francisco type.

725
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 3: Just jump it off short, let him run for a bit,

726
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 3: absolutely shallow routes. Nico caught a lot of those shallow routes.

727
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: Just let him catch get those too, Yes, he does.

728
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 3: Here's the one thing that the Jets game last year

729
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 3: taught me. If you remember the Jets game from last year,

730
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 3: Tank had just broken his leg they the week before,

731
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 3: so he was.

732
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 4: Out for the rest of the season. You obviously did

733
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 4: not have Digs at that point.

734
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 3: Nico got hurt on the second or third play of

735
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 3: the game, and at that point you had Mechi, who

736
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: had not even played much throughout the year, you know,

737
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 3: just getting his legs back under him. Noah, I think

738
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 3: was banged up at that point. But that's really what

739
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 3: you had yet those two and I think you had X. Well,

740
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 3: now you get into a situation.

741
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 4: I think Robert. I think Robert was hurt too. That's

742
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 4: the game that I.

743
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 3: Always think about, like that was the game where Sauce

744
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 3: and DJ Reed just mauled everybody. Well, okay, I'm not

745
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 3: hoping that you're gonna go into a game having lost

746
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: your top three guys, but if you do, I think

747
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 3: X has now got experienced Mechi, I think is going

748
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 3: to feel much more comfortable in his second year out

749
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 3: on the field.

750
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 4: I think Noah and Robert, let's say Robert's healthy.

751
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 3: If let's say you went with those four mark there

752
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 3: have been years where those four Robert Woods, Noah Brown,

753
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 3: Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchi would be better than the receivers.

754
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 4: That had you know, had been in the building in

755
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,479
Speaker 4: previous years at times.

756
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's.

757
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 3: The depth that you have that if you go into

758
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 3: a situation like hey, we don't have Nico today, Okay,

759
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 3: well we've got Tank, we got digs, and we've got

760
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 3: a pool to pick from that we trust and more

761
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 3: importantly that CJ.

762
00:38:58,800 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 4: Stroud trusts.

763
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the most important thing there, that he's

764
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: gonna be able to trust those guys having been together.

765
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 3: So we'll see what the what the jack Rabbit twins

766
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 3: are able to do. They're big and athletic, there's no

767
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 3: question six three, two ten, both of them identical twins.

768
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: So Jaden and Jackson, those preseason games are gonna be

769
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 3: massive for them, and that was one of the reasons

770
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 3: they picked the Texans because there's a fourth preseason game

771
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 3: for them.

772
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, good point.

773
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 4: All right, let's go more likely to happen.

774
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: More likely to fire their coach first, the Giants, Dallas, Chicago,

775
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: the Saints more likely to fire their coach first. Among

776
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: this group of four.

777
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 4: This is kind of a coin flip between Dallas and

778
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 4: New Orleans.

779
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 3: All right, I've said before, you know eber Flus is

780
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: not you.

781
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: Know, you don't think Chicago.

782
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 3: What if they get off to a run, now, they

783
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 3: get off to a bad start, then yeah, it's that.

784
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 4: But I don't I don't think they're gonna do that.

785
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna beat them, but I think they're

786
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 3: gonna end up winning a few games early on and

787
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: kind of get some confidence. I think Klem's gonna do

788
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 3: some some He's gonna make life tough on Austin week two.

789
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 3: But I still think I still think their defense isn't

790
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 3: gonna be able to handle us. So that said, I

791
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: think Ibra Flues will be around. Who's the first one

792
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 3: you said, Giants?

793
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 4: See?

794
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 3: I think Dabill. I think Dables are good coach, and

795
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 3: I think they know it. And I think the other

796
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: thing with the Giants, they had so much coaching turnover

797
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 3: that they've got a good football coach. Don't don't screw

798
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 3: this up. Daniel Jones got hurt last year. You know

799
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 3: when Jones was healthy, they went to the playoffs. Like

800
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 3: I know, they got Saquana get all that, But I

801
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 3: think that team, just the overall talent has improved.

802
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 4: They got motor let.

803
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, let Day will be I think he'll be Okay.

804
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 3: I think it's those bottom two. I think it's Dallas,

805
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 3: and I think it's New Orleans. I think there's a chance.

806
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 3: Just my thought on it is that Dennis Allen the

807
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 3: Saints are gonna get They're gonna get beat up a little.

808
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 4: Bit early on.

809
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 3: Derek Carr is not all that, and Spencer Ratler is

810
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 3: gonna get an opportunity and they're gonna like what they

811
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 3: see from Spencer rather But it's gonna be too late

812
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: for Dennis Allen.

813
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 4: But I think Dallas, the expectation is so high.

814
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: Yep.

815
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 3: I just think it's gonna get to a point where

816
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 3: Jerry looks at it goes you know what, Nope, we

817
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 3: got to jump on this coaching thing, whether it's talking

818
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 3: to Parcels, whether it's talking to Vrabel, whether it's getting

819
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 3: out ahead of this thing and Belichick.

820
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 4: Belichick, what I say, parcels.

821
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 3: Parcels, Well, talk to parcels too, but I don't think

822
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 3: it's gonna end up being parcels. Talk to Belichick, talk

823
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 3: to Vrabel you know, have your eyes some young guys,

824
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 3: potentially a couple guys in our building, all that kind

825
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 3: of stuff. So, I mean, I don't want that to

826
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 3: be the case, but it's gonna happen.

827
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now you actually you want them to be looked

828
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: at because it means you're doing We.

829
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 4: Just want them to stay like they did last year.

830
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, let's check out the possibility of

831
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: playing the game in Australia. What would that take or China?

832
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: What would that actually take? Among other things here on

833
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Final thoughts here on the show tonight.

834
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: And it's come up this week that the NFL maybe

835
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: it was last week, but whatever, the NFL might be

836
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: playing games in Australia in the near future. How about

837
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: that Australia with let's just stick with Houston time here

838
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: to make it easy, Johnny, it's a fifteen hour time difference,

839
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: so it's fifteen hours from right now in Australia, so

840
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: it's already tomorrow in Australia as this show airs on

841
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: Sports Radio six ten. Some of you listen on the

842
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: podcast I get it. So that's a lot. But we

843
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: figured this out sort of. If you left, we're gonna

844
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: say you're gonna play a game. To keep it simple,

845
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: you can actually play it Sunday afternoon at one. Let's

846
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: leave Thursday evening at seven o'clock. Yes, at night, we're

847
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: gonna get in. It's a seventeen hour flight to Melbourne, right, yep,

848
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: So you're gonna get in at one o'clock in the

849
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: afternoon Central time, but in Australia right at that point,

850
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: it'll be four am in Melbourne, so you'll stay up.

851
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: So let's see you got in on Saturday. You're gonna

852
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: stay up yep, till ten pm your time, which will

853
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: be what three pm Australia time. Now you've got to

854
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: force yourself to go to bed. You're gonna be like

855
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: that Paccino movie in Alaska with Hillary Swank. What is

856
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: it called again, insomnia? You hope you don't get that yourself,

857
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: but you're gonna need blackout curtains at the hotel or whatever,

858
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: and then you just wake up and play the game

859
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: at one pm Australia time and get your tail home.

860
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: You can't spend any time there at all. There's no

861
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 1: time to acclimate to the time difference if you play

862
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: a game in Australia.

863
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 4: No, not at all.

864
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 3: I mean, especially the fact that they're a day ahead

865
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 3: of you basically, so you have to have the buy

866
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 3: at the end of it.

867
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 4: You have to.

868
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: There's no way that you can end up playing a

869
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 3: game in Australia turn around and have to play a game.

870
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 4: Back in the States.

871
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: No, there's the thing.

872
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 4: Can't do it.

873
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: When you wake up in the morning your time, it's

874
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: going to be in the middle of the night in Australia.

875
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: Because remember you're playing, you're playing at nine o'clock game

876
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: or an eight o'clock game in your body clock and

877
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: your central time zone clock, but it's gonna be one

878
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: pm their time. That means if you get up at

879
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: your normal time, you're hanging around the hotel and it's

880
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the night in Australia. I don't know

881
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: how you get through that. Maybe you're sleeping, maybe you

882
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: nap through that, and somehow just slap water on your

883
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: face or more and play the game. I think it's

884
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: gonna be very difficult to pull this off.

885
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 3: That's gonna be tough. I mean, that's I mean, look,

886
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 3: London is what six hours most of the year, six

887
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 3: hour difference. You're talking about a fifteen double and two

888
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 3: and a half times the hour difference. So maybe what

889
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 3: makes sense and maybe what makes sense in Australia hear

890
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 3: me out on this. Okay, give them a preseason game,

891
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 3: all right, Maybe you go over there with a team.

892
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 3: So maybe it's us and the pick a team rams. Yeah,

893
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 3: fly over there together. Do some joint practices over there. Yeah,

894
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 3: play a preseason game.

895
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,479
Speaker 1: Fly on back, Yeah, little goodwill, joint practices in front

896
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: of the people. Play a preseason game, come back. I

897
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: like that idea. It's better. Yeah. I think it's crazy

898
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: to play a regular season game over there, but it's

899
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: gonna happen eventually. Now you need the concord or whatever.

900
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: Can you get a supersonic jet that would be nice,

901
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: That would be nice. But the time difference still kills you.

902
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how I mean it does because it's

903
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: seventeen hour.

904
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 3: When you start talking about seventeen hour flight, you can

905
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,240
Speaker 3: need ten hour time difference.

906
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: By the way, in there was a video going around

907
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: what was the airline. It wasn't Quantis, it was one

908
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: of those. But they showed a nineteen seventies seven forty

909
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: seven promo film and it was glorious. You know, they

910
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: have the piano lounge of the seven forty seven upstairs

911
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: and everything's the food is amazing. You know, it's even

912
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: better what the teams get right now. It's like they're

913
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 1: carving up a prime rib right in front of you. Awesome,

914
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: and I thought, yeah, that's the seventies. That is happening anymore.

915
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: But you're gonna need like two of those kind of

916
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: planes just to keep the guys comfortable so they could

917
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: walk around and not get the you know, the blood

918
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: clots or whatever happened.

919
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 4: Well, some of you can speak to.

920
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 3: This is our buddy Salacopaccio because this when this early

921
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 3: spring or winter. He was in Australia.

922
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: He and his.

923
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 3: Family's Bill Sideline reporter. Yeah, Bill Sideline reporter are pal.

924
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 3: He was there when Stefan Diggs was traded.

925
00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: Oh that's right.

926
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 3: So it's four o'clock in the morning over there, and

927
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,040
