1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: What's going on. Everybody, Welcome into another day. SAE that

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Texas All Access from the Hounday Texans Radios studio. I

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: am heros John Harris, football Analyst, Sideline Report. I would

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: say fresh off the field, but it's been a few hours,

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: and yet it really doesn't feel that way because it's

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: spent about four and a half hours watching film. But

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: still a fantastic day already. At the Houston Methodist Training

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Center where all kinds of things were going on today,

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: cal McNair was making burgers along with Sean Pendergast and

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: Ron Show Hugley from Sports Radio six ten. I mean

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: shumping a tweet out a while ago. The grill seekers

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: like that's pretty good. That's pretty good. So there's a

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: lot of fun to be had. I think it was

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: the last fans practice, and I hope you got an

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: opportunity to come out to camp. Good vibes. It's been

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: good vibes. It's been a really good camp from that perspective.

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: I think it's been a good camp all around. I've

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: seen a lot of good things in this camp that

19
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that I was expecting to see or

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: was just curious about or thought, well, you know, I'll

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: wait then see how you feel about that, and then

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: you get to camp be like WHOA okay seeing rookies,

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Derek Stingley made a tremendous play today and practice almost

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: came up with a pick six. But I see him

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: routinely daily shaking off the rust. I mean, you can

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: just see it coming off just in his movements and

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: everything he's doing. He is going to make a major

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: upgrade in that secondary alongside fellow rookie Jane the Petre.

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: You spoke to the media today, So there's been a

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: lot of good things going on with this camp. So

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: schedule wise, tomorrow it'll be a night practice. So Mark

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: and I will have our last Texas Training Camp live

33
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: show eight to ten, and we will have I believe

34
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: we have the mcnairs. I'm just gonna say that. I

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: don't know it will have one or two, but we're

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna have a mcnairs hopefully too on the air with

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: us presumably to That's the plan as far as I

38
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: know it right now. From eight to ten we'll have

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: them in then at six o'clock we'll have our normal

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: Texas All Access show, and following that from seven to nine,

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: there will be practice at an RG stadium. Coach Lobby

42
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: Smith wants to take the team through essentially kind of

43
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: a game mock up situation. He told us the other day, Hey,

44
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: I want to go through a full pregame. I want

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: to go through halftime, all the different roles and responsibilities,

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: a lot of things to do going into the first

47
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: game preseason, regular season, So you kind of get to

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: work the kinks out. But you gotta work on it

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: before you get there because obviously you've got a lot

50
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: of guys that have not gone through it, and we'll

51
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: see how Lobby wants to change or not change from

52
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: last year. So all that's got to be done. So

53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: practice tomorrow will be from seven to nine. Now I

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of practice it will be, could be,

55
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: don't I don't think they're gonna hit, but they'll go

56
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: through some sort of practice tomorrow night, seven to nine.

57
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: Then Friday will be a walkthrough for them and then

58
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: Saturday kicking off against the New Orleans Saints at seven o'clock. Now,

59
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: at that preseason game, don't know the Texas side who

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: will wear a baseball cap on a sideline, don't know

61
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: from the Saint side, who's gonna wear a baseball cap,

62
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: so it'll just be Saints Texans. We'll strap it on.

63
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: See a lot of rookies, a lot of guys that

64
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: maybe you don't think you're gonna make the roster, but

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: maybe they may could push through these preseason games and

66
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: kick it off against a different colored jersey on Saturday.

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: That's going to be very fun. Then next week, trip

68
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: to LA. Week after that a visit from the Niners,

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: and then we are into the regular season. I want

70
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: to say that again. Saturday Night, Saints, the following week, LA,

71
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: the following week, forty nine ers, and then we are

72
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: into the season. Mind blowing, but glad that we are here.

73
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: All right. Tonight is going to be a GM head

74
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: coach US asistant coach kind of night. We're gonna hear

75
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: a little Texans audio jukebox Lovey Smith style, and our

76
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: next segment he met with the media today. We'll also

77
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: hear from three assistant coaches cornerbacks Dino Vasso, defensive line

78
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: Jacques is there. And then also I had a chance

79
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: to catch up with tight end's coach, Tim Burbeneck. Verbeneck, Verbeneck.

80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: I hope I'm saying that right, I'm gonna I'm gonna

81
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: mess it up. I just know it's that itch at

82
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: the end. It's ick so coach and he's fantastic. I

83
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: just there's certain names that just kind of stick either way.

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from those assistant coaches a little later

85
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: show and Lovey Smith a little later to the show.

86
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: But if you missed it, this morning, Nick Cassario hopped

87
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: over to the radio tent to chat with Mark and

88
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: myself and we talked about any number of things, but

89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: we started with a former Patriot turned Texan who showed

90
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: up at training camp practice on Wednesday one Vince Wilfork.

91
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: Right before we go anywhere, there's a special guest at

92
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: camp today. We saw you say hello to him. Vince

93
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: will Fork is here, former Texas and former Patriot, where

94
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: I know you spent a lot of time together. Yeah,

95
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean one of the best players we had on

96
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: that defense for a long period of time. Actually, I'll

97
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: never forget was there when he worked out at the

98
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: University of Miami and what he did at that pro day.

99
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean for how big he is, I mean it

100
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: was mind numbing, like and I was young at the times.

101
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: You don't really know, but the way he moved, his agility,

102
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: his change, the direction. You're talking about a guy it's

103
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: three hundred some plus pounds, going wow, Like that's impressive.

104
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: So and then fast forward, we had the opportunity, Like

105
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: I don't think we thought he was gonna be there

106
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: when we drafted him. He lasted to forget it was

107
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: out in the twenties or somewhere wherever it was. So

108
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, we had the opportunity to draft him, and

109
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: he was a mainstand at front. We were just talking.

110
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: We had you know, Will fork, Ty Warren, Richard Seymour

111
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: mcguinnis Mike Rabelan. Yet it's Teddy Bruski, you know. So

112
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: there's a reasons were pretty good on defense over that

113
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: period of time. Yeah, it sounds like you didn't need

114
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: to coach. You did to be able to move with.

115
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: But to that end, Nick, when you see somebody, when

116
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: you think back to when you were younger and you

117
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: scotted a player and you saw him and you're like, WHOA,

118
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: I think that's really good. Years later, when you look back,

119
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: do you appreciate it that much more because you're like,

120
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: holy smokes, I didn't really appreciate it because I figured

121
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: I might see guys like him, But then you don't

122
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: see people like him. You realize back then, like, okay, yeah,

123
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: there's there's so many factors that can into an evaluation

124
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: of a player. And you know when every when somebody

125
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: works out, you can watch a move and look at

126
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: their athletic numbers and all that, but how is that

127
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,559
Speaker 1: actually going to translate over being in a good football player.

128
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: I think the thing that differentiated him was his He

129
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: was very smart, and he was very instinctive, and he

130
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: was strong as hell. So when you combine that with

131
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: athletic attributes that are pretty rare, you have the makings

132
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: of a really good player. Played for a long time too,

133
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: and was a big part of twenty sixteen here in Houston, Nick,

134
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: you made a transaction yesterday, tight end group getting some

135
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: extra help here with Shahid. Yeah, working through the process here,

136
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: relative of the trade, but experienced player. He was kind

137
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: of raw coming out of Ashland Division two, but he

138
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: coming out he was like six six two seventy five

139
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: two seventy eight to the combine. I think he caught

140
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: sixty balls close to that his senior year at Ashland

141
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: or his junior because I think he actually came out early,

142
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: so kind of got off to a slow start in Chicago.

143
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: Then they traded him to Miami and he played about

144
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: called three hundred plus snaps over the last couple of years.

145
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: So smart guy has some experience, has some athletic attribute.

146
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: So we'll work through the process here today on the

147
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: trade and you know, hopefully have an opportunity to Adam

148
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: and we'll see how it looks here and the rest

149
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: of the preseason. Nick, this is a question for Adam,

150
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: but also for some parents that are out there thinking, well,

151
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, my son needs to play one sport and

152
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: my daughter needs to play one sport. She was a

153
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: basketball player in college and a good one at that.

154
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: How much do you see that translating over to his

155
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: football day. Yeah, it's funny. Actually nowadays everybody wants to

156
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: focus on their kids playing one sport, but actually the

157
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: more opportunity they have to play other sports, you can

158
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of see some different things. So I would encourage

159
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: all kids out there to try as many sports, play

160
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: as many sports as you can before you actually have

161
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: to specialize. But you can see some things on a

162
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: basketball court and just how a player moves, so and

163
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: I never saw him play basketball, But it doesn't necessarily

164
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: mean if you play another sport that you can't potentially

165
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: have a career in another one if the opportunity presents itself. Nick,

166
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: In the tight end group, it's got to be hard

167
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: to evaluate these things because some guys are definite receiving

168
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: type tight ends. You have the different variety within the group,

169
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: and not every group is like that. Can you speak

170
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: to that a little bit and some of the assets

171
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: you have here, Yeah, that's a good question. I think

172
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: some of those players that position that kind of get

173
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: typecasts a little bit. But the tight end is really

174
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: involved in all areas of offensive football. So between a

175
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: run game, between pass protection, between blitz pick up, between

176
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: route running, there's a lot of factors. Some can handle

177
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: all three, some can handle maybe certain things better than others.

178
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: So just have to figure out what a player is

179
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: capable of doing within the scheme of your system and

180
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: then put them in a position to accentuate those skills

181
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: and characteristics. Nick, Saturday Night, you go into game situation,

182
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: running backs get fully tackled, defenders have to make tackles.

183
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: I know it doesn't change from an evaluation standpoint, but

184
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: are there different things you look for in a game

185
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: setting of players that you continue to evaluate. Yeah, that's

186
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: an opportunity for a lot of players to kind of

187
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: play real football, actually real football, where from snap to

188
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: whistle you get to see some different things. So can

189
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: they get off a ball, canny to feed a block?

190
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: If they're around the ball? Can they finish the tackle?

191
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: In practice, we're kind of tagging off, so you kind

192
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: of simulate, can they get the runner to the ground?

193
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: Can they finish on the ball? The kicking game will

194
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: be a big part of its Probably that's the one

195
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: area where it's drastically different because of the pace and

196
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: the timing and the actual speed that's involved in that phase,

197
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: which we do the best we can to simulate on

198
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: a practice field. But the kicking game is where you're

199
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: probably I want to say, the least prepared. But that's

200
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: where you kind of see the transition from Wow, this

201
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: isn't practice anymore, Nick and your experience. You're a couple

202
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: of weeks in right now, So a couple of weeks in,

203
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: how much can you tell about what the team is

204
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: going to be during the season. I know what changes

205
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: and you're gonna make additions and subtractions, but based on

206
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: where we are right now. Yeah, they're trying not to

207
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: jump to conclusions after two weeks, but you're starting to

208
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: see some different things, whether it's groups of players, whether

209
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: it's individual players. Understanding we have three more preseason games

210
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: ahead of us, where some players are gonna get the

211
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to see if they can do more, maybe than

212
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: we think we can. So I would say the team

213
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: is starting to take shape here a little bit. You

214
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: kind of have an idea of where there's going to

215
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: be competition, some areas that maybe created some separation, so

216
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: a lot of this is just going to be the

217
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: opportunity to play, so we can evaluate how they look

218
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: in an actual real life setting. I used to Nick

219
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: Casserioism the other day. I told Mark, I said, the

220
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: roster is starting to reveal itself to me, because it

221
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 1: feels like I mean, I've heard you say that a

222
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: few times, and that's kind of what it feels like.

223
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: As you watch day after day after day, you go, Okay,

224
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: I can kind of see how this is going. Maybe

225
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: some guys are banking. Okay, I can see how it's

226
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: going together. But at that point, Nick, have in this

227
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: camp you know, I've got to ask, how have you

228
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: seen the rookie develop over this camp? Have you seen

229
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: from them? And we all want to put every rookie

230
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame after day one and they

231
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: make one play, but from the rookies themselves, young guys

232
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: have never been through a training camp like this. How

233
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: have you seen the progress from that entire group. Yeah,

234
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of something that we've talked about all rookies.

235
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: They progress at different stages, So you're seeing some players

236
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: have done a little bit more, some players have kind

237
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: of been stopping start. Really, you were trying to look

238
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: at the arc and the longevity of from the beginning

239
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: to where they are now, and are they consistent day

240
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: to day? Are they making progress? Are they taking advantage

241
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: of their opportunities understanding they may not play early in

242
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: the year, but at some point they may be in

243
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: a position where they have to get on the field

244
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: and go back and last look at last year, that

245
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: group Bravin really didn't play early in the year, Garrett

246
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: didn't play earlier in the year. As a season progressed,

247
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: they had more opportunities and they put themselves in a

248
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: position where they could help the team. So My suspicion

249
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: is you're going to see something similar this year. Some guys,

250
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: maybe you're a little bit more right to play, are

251
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: going to play a little bit earlier. Some guys their

252
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: progress has been stunned a little bit for a married

253
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: or reason. So you don't want to rule anything out,

254
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: and you don't want to kind of jump to any

255
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: sort of conclusion. You want to let it go through

256
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: the normal course of action in the normal process. How

257
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: do you weigh the wear and tear on rookies because

258
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: they go through all that pre draft stuff and then

259
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: they come here and they go through a lot of

260
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: workouts in the offseason and training camp. Every day's got

261
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: to feel like the super Bowl to them because they've

262
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: never been here. So how do you gauge all that? No,

263
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: we look at that every day. So from the time

264
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: that they get here and may we kind of have

265
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: a baseline testing and kind of get an idea of

266
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: what they're capable of handling, where's their strength, what type

267
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: of loads have they put on? Because they're doing more

268
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: than they probably have ever done before. So Ken, now

269
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: then you're thinking about we haven't even played a three

270
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: preseason game yet, so we're talking about three preseason games,

271
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: seventeen games. You're talking about twenty games twenty one weeks.

272
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: Are they going to be equipped to handle that load?

273
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a test. It's much mental

274
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: as it is physical. So I would say they're making progress.

275
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: They're probably experienced some stimulus that they haven't experienced before.

276
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: So we're monitoring that on a regular basis, not just

277
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: the rookies but the entire team because ultimately you want

278
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: to make sure they have healthy players. They ain't go

279
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 1: out there and perform an optimal level on Sundays and

280
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: then you gut gut, like Tristan McCollum, who played twenty

281
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: one games from the middle of the late February of

282
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: twenty one until late November of twenty one, I mean

283
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: twenty one football games in that span because he played

284
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: the same Houston and they went through FCS along those lines. Nick,

285
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: you get to this point now where pads are still on,

286
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: but the grind has definitely set in. From your opinion,

287
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: have you seen the physicality that you want to see

288
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: from your team throughout this camp as tough as it

289
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: is from the vets, from the rookies all that, have

290
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: you seen the physicality you want to see even as

291
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: the grind is set in. Yeah, you can certainly see

292
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: some things. It's probably as mentally taxing as it is physically.

293
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: But you know, the players have responded well. There's a

294
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: lot of stimulus that's been put on their bodies. You know,

295
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: we've run anywhere from sixty five seventy team plays over

296
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: the course of multiple practice, multiple days, so that adds up.

297
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: So the big thing you want to see is that

298
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: can they carry their technique all the way through over

299
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: the course from the beginning to the end. But understanding

300
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: how to practice is important as well. And our players

301
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: have been fairly we haven't had too many dust ups,

302
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: so they're understanding how to play in order to get

303
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: good would work and you can kind of see the

304
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: physical element the running game. You're starting to see some things.

305
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: You're seeing more now than you saw in the spring,

306
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: which is what you want to see as a team.

307
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: How do you look at what you're seeing out here

308
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: offense versus defense? And you must be really excited to

309
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: see the Texans against another opponent because the defense, I mean,

310
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: there is a lot of competition out there, as there

311
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: should be, but it feels like sometimes not that they

312
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: know what's coming, but they know a lot of tendencies

313
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: with each other. Sure, when you run enough plays and

314
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: against the other side of the ball, you kind of

315
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: start to develop some pattern recognition about when they're in

316
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: this formation. Here are some of the things that they do.

317
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: But from a either side of the ball, that's good

318
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: because that's what you're gonna have to do. You're gonna

319
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: recognize what the other team is doing. So now that

320
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to see a different system. So a

321
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: New Orleans system is different than our system here in Houston,

322
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: which is great. So it'll be a new stimulus and mentally,

323
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to sort through some things. You're gonna

324
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: be some communication, you're gonna have to execute against a

325
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: different look or a different front. So those are the

326
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: things I think from a player's perspective, that they're excited

327
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: about doing. You've had plenty of preseason games in your career,

328
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: and you've had teams that went once Bowls where the

329
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: preseason games rank kut in the importance of what you

330
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: do in an offseason leading up to a regular season. Say,

331
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: they're part of the process. You know, something that you

332
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: have to go through some players need the preseason more

333
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: than others. Other players don't need the preseason as much.

334
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: So you just have to figure out what it needs

335
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: to the team, other needs of the player, and try

336
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: to balance everything off so we can make the right

337
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: decision when we put the team together. Is this sort

338
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: of a fuel thing to Nick with, you know, from

339
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: year to year, Like, you know what, I think we

340
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: really need to see the offense a little bit more

341
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: because we've been staggnant in training camp. We need to

342
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: see them for a little bit longer as opposed to

343
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: man we've been going through makes some joint practices. Offense

344
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: looks sharp, Let's get him a series and get them out.

345
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: It's kind of based like that. Yeah, it's really it's

346
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: week to week and it's kind of year to year.

347
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: You try to take inventorys where you think your team

348
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: is and what they need, and some players may even

349
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: need more than others. So again it's balancing a lot

350
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: of different factors and ultimately trying to make the right

351
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: decisions and ultimately getting towards the end so we can

352
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: get prepared for Week one against Indianapolis. Nick On behalf

353
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: of all the listeners. If you had time to be

354
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: out and about town this time of year. People people

355
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: would be asking you, how's Malls doing? I'm gonna ask

356
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: you how does Bills doing? Because they want to know. Yeah,

357
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: I'd say the quarterbacks have done a good job overall.

358
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: They've take care of the football, They've made quick decisions,

359
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: maybe made good decisions. The recognition of where to go

360
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: with the ball, I think has improved. So Saint Davis

361
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: has done a good job and that respect. Kyle's done

362
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: a really good job as well. I mean he's come

363
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: in and he's done a lot of good things. And

364
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: Jeff has made progress and improved relative to where he

365
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: was last season. So that's kind of a microcosm of

366
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: the team. You want to see that type of growth

367
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: in development and all the players. So overall, i'd say

368
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: we're pleasantly please you. We're pleased with the progress of

369
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: that group is making. The game. Will be another opportunity

370
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: to kind of see them in a different, different setting. Nick,

371
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: You've had and brought in some veterans, and one of

372
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: them sort of resonated with me yesterday because I watched

373
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: the situation one on ones where Mario Addison was going

374
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: against Lamary Tunsel and so you're thinking, okay, good on

375
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: good and Mario got him. Tunsel did another rep and

376
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: as soon as he's done that rep, you pointed out Mario,

377
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: he was like, I want him. Guys that you're bringing

378
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: in got that competitive vibe, that got that leadership in.

379
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: Have you seen that throughout that that group Mario, Jerry, etc. Yeah,

380
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: it makes a big difference. I think really there's a

381
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: mutual respect on each side of the ball, and when

382
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: you've played and competed against a lot of different players

383
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: and really you're learning from the other side of the

384
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: ball as well. So Okay, what happened? What did you see?

385
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: What are some of the things that I can do

386
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: on my side of the ball to improve? So you're

387
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: talking about players. You know, mar has been in the

388
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: league twelve thirteen years. Lt has been in the league

389
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: a long time. So it's always an opportunity to learn,

390
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: always an opportunity to get better. And if you can

391
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: sort of pick the brain of your teammate, I think

392
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: there's a mutual respect there and we're all going to

393
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: benefit in a big picture. All right. So last night

394
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: on Hard Knocks, Hutchinson had to sing what Billy Jean?

395
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: Because I missed that. I think I viewed Hard Knocks

396
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: since it's been on the air so well. I was

397
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: going to ask you how much time and I don't

398
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: even want to. I don't want to ask if you

399
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: would like being on Hard Knocks. But how would you

400
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: handle being on Hard Knocks if we have to figure

401
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: it out with less, stay less, do more? Yeah exactly.

402
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: But at John Carroll, did you have to do anything

403
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: as a freshman like sing a song? Oh yeah, no,

404
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: and get up there, tell a joke, having skid. Yeah,

405
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: And you know, some players honestly, like I'm not a

406
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: very funny person, so I'm not like good to telling

407
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: jokes and I can't sing, So you got to try

408
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: to come up with a creative way. And you don't

409
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: want to put the players in a tough spot. I mean,

410
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: some players are a little bit more equipped to handle

411
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: in others, so others that's not really their thing and

412
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: they don't want to be in that uh, in that spotlight.

413
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: So but it's all part of, I would say, growing

414
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: up and being part of the team and start of graduating.

415
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: I totally disagree with the funny part. I disagree one

416
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: more so hydration advice here, nick I think I'm doing okay, Yeah,

417
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: you got your your water. Yeah, I don't know if

418
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: you have any electro lights in there. Now. I don't

419
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: say away from the sugar, noil. I think that's for

420
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: the six ten years. But should I cut down on

421
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: my caffeine and take before I come out here or no?

422
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: One a cup of coffee in the Morning's okay, get

423
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: to Jesus going enhancer for me. I wouldn't have expected that.

424
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I go to Dink, I can't do the coffee,

425
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: but well that has a lot of sugar, right, yeah,

426
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: I MD. There you go, Johnny, Hey, thanks a lot

427
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: for joining us. Thanks guys at Nick at too, Mark.

428
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: My diet Mountain due will stay with me. It will

429
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: stay with me. You can have your coffees. I want

430
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: my diet Mountain DW so only I can get through

431
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: my goodness. They're just trying to cut me down. They're

432
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: just trying to hold me back. Jerry, there you go.

433
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: Nick as Sarrio, we had fun, and we always have

434
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: fun with Nick. We do get we talk about of ball.

435
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: But now in our second year of being with Nick,

436
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: he's comfortable with us, and that's awesome because he knows

437
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: you know we're obviously in his corner at all times,

438
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: and so he knows when we ask him something, we're

439
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: not trying to probe or do anything that I'll trying

440
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: to get, you know, further information. We just want to

441
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: have a great conversation with him in the air, and

442
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: it always is fun. And I would disagree. I think

443
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: he's funnier than people think. I think he's got a

444
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: really good sense of humor. I'll say this when it's

445
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: ball time, though it's all about ball, there's nothing else.

446
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: I like that in my general manager, and I like

447
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: that in my head. Coach and Lovey Smith met with

448
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: the media. Still a little Lovey Smith Audio Jukebox. Next

449
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: right here on Texans All Access, Ball Access, Ball Access.

450
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back in this edition of Texans All Access from

451
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: the Hunday Texans Radio studio. I am your host, Sean Harris,

452
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: football analyst sideline reporter. I forgot this news in the

453
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: first segment, and I apologize. Texans made an unfortunate transaction

454
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: today and I was putting Darius jed Anderson on the

455
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: injured list. I saw him take a wicked lick kind

456
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: of from behind in one of the drills yesterday. And

457
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: my guess is that's what it was and what it's

458
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: going to be. I think Aaron Wilson had tweeted something

459
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: out about what the actual I think it was a knee.

460
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: Just a real shame that happened to Darius Anderson. But

461
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: here's Lovey Smith as we start our Lovey Smith audio

462
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: jee Box discussing the Darius Anderson injury. Hey, it's just first,

463
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: it's a tough, tough you know, it's no other way

464
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: to describe it. We feel for Daris. He's a good

465
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: football player, has been through a little bit. Guy has

466
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: showed up every day, was doing some good things. We

467
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: had a plan for him. Unfortunately, Andrews are part of

468
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: our game. It's just pretty much a non contact entry

469
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: did happen. He's in good spirits right now. He'll get

470
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: surgery and come back as strong as that. That is

471
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: just so tough when in training camp you lose the

472
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: opportunity without even preseason games, you know, to have an

473
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: opportunity to make the roster around the time of that,

474
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: you gotta go through surgery and you know you're gonna

475
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: miss the season. But best of luck the jet and

476
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: hopefully he'll be able to get back to training camp

477
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, or we can see him before too long.

478
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: One of the things that's popped up at practice. And

479
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: I watch practice as much of it I can lie

480
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: and I get to see every practice from every angle,

481
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: every play after. I spent about four and a half

482
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: five hours watching after and I tend to disagree with

483
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: the whole thought of Davis Mills doesn't push the ball

484
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: on the field. And I got into this a little

485
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: bit on the Texas Training Camp Live show this morning,

486
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: and Lovey Smith was actually asked about that Davis Mills

487
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: pushing the ball down the field. Here's what the head

488
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: coach had to say about his quarterback, Davis Mills. Indeed

489
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: pushing the ball down the field. That's say infences every

490
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: day you have to push it down the field. You know,

491
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: yesterday I thought the defense did some good things. Today.

492
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: Of course, as you mentioned, offense did a whole lot

493
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: of good things, which is good. We're a good football team,

494
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, from day to day you want offense defense

495
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: to have their day, but flus to win games when

496
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: you need to score a lot of points. We have weapons,

497
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: we have a we have a perfect guy signal caller

498
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: for our football team to start that push down the

499
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: I'm glad Lovey. I don't say came to the defense

500
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 1: of Davis Mills, but I think Davis has been very,

501
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: very good in his camp. But obviously there are always

502
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: things you want to get better and you want to

503
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: work on. But I would imagine if Davis Mills heard

504
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: some of the things said about him not pushing the

505
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: butt on the field, I think Davis would go pull

506
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: up his iPad and say, Yo, they got two people

507
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: on the roof at all times, and they are working

508
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: their butts off to not let me go deep. What

509
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: do you want me to do? And I've seen a

510
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: lot of that, and I think that's why it's upset

511
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: me that much more. Because Davis is looking down the field.

512
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: He's wanting to throw the ball down the field. But

513
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: are you gonna force it into double coverage in some

514
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: sense based on maybe quarters coverage is safety and a

515
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: corner kind of helping together, or two on the roof

516
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: and cover two. Do you want to just force it

517
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: down the field? I don't know. Maybe training camp is

518
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: that opportunity to do that, but you also want to

519
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: be stupid if the guy's clearly covered on the field.

520
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: He's clearly covered now. Earlier in camp they threw the

521
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: ball down the field. They didn't hit, they missed a few.

522
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, we all want the bomb, we all want

523
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: to push the ball down the field. But I'll tell

524
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: you this, it's just as important to push the ball

525
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: into the intermediate areas of the field. And Davis has

526
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: done it all throughout training camp. He's hitting those deep

527
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: digs at fifteen to seventeen yards or more. He's hitting

528
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: the deep out routes. Those routes are almost more important

529
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: than trying to hit that deep ball. You'll take your

530
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: shot when you get it. Davids isn't scared to throw

531
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: the ball on the field. He's not. He did it

532
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: against the charges he didn't get some patriots. He's had moments.

533
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: He knows when to take his moments. Where I want

534
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: him to continue to push it are those deeper, intermediate

535
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: areas of the field, and I think he's done that. Look,

536
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: are there some that he probably watches, watches back and go, man,

537
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: I wish i'd rip that one there that there. Yeah,

538
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: probably maybe a couple here there, But I don't think

539
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: it's an absolute epidemic of oh my got always doing

540
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: is checking out. No, he's definitely not doing that at all.

541
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: So that's well, that's love. He's thought on that too,

542
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: so I'm glad he's there. Love. He was asked a

543
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: little further if any player has stood out this week

544
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 1: in training camp. Now we know how coaches will typically answer.

545
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: Now I've not heard this. My guess is he's gonna

546
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: point out out there have been some players that have

547
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: done some good things, but maybe not anyone specifically. Well,

548
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: let's hear what love he had to say. I mean

549
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: your hart say stood out. I mean we have. You've

550
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: seen the rotation that we have and we're getting a

551
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: lot of gas raps right now. Let as for as

552
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: stand out, I mean the guy that's showing up right

553
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: now and again, guys here, I can't rid it point.

554
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: You know, this is about guys showing up, you know,

555
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: coming to practice. Everybody's getting better, But we can talk

556
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more about how we really play after

557
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: we play somebody else. That is a great point. And

558
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: you play somebody else, you can then talk about where

559
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: your progress is. I will go ahead and jump right

560
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: in front of that bullet train for your coach. Derek

561
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: Stingley was very very good today. He has. He's stood

562
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: out the last couple of days in particular. Nico Collins

563
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: has been good throughout camping. Oh, by the way, he's

564
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: not pushing off all the time anyways. Man, there are

565
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: a lot of the sore spots. Sorry about that. Nico

566
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: has been very, very good. Larry Tunsil has I've thought

567
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: been fantastic. Also Mario Addison as well as an edge rusher.

568
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: Rashiem Green had a day today. Boy. He I said

569
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: this in my Harris hits, which you can get at

570
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: Houston Texas dot com, and they're lengthy, they're beefy, but

571
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: they give you a great look into what's going on

572
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: a practice. Rashim Green was on one today. Man, he

573
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: was on one today. He was all over the place.

574
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: So those are just a few guys that have stood out.

575
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: I love what Brevin Jordan's been able to do at

576
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: the tight end position. If Farrell Brown, He's talked about

577
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: it a few times twenty last pounds. He has been

578
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: able to do some great, great things in the passing

579
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: game for sure. Now pre games coming up, Love he

580
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: was asked, how are you going to manage those reps?

581
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: Coach first preseason games pretty much the same across. Some

582
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: guys aren't gonna play. Some guys, yes, none of our

583
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: guys would play an entire game, and not the first one.

584
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: We have a can't snap count whatever you want to say,

585
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: play count on what we would like to do with

586
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: the game, and a lot of this though, Sis. We

587
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: don't scrimmage anyone. Some teams scream as people some of

588
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: the players that we don't really know about. That's how

589
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: I see us using these preseason games to get good

590
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: live work, especially on some of the guys that we

591
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I know what Larry mc thompson can do.

592
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: I know what Brandon Cooks can do. You know Chris

593
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: and Kirtzler and I could keep going on. Those guys

594
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: won't play a lot, But those guys and those next slots,

595
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: that's who we want to see play. There's nothing like

596
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: that first preseason game. I love at market. Andre and

597
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 1: I are back on the air together and we're just

598
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: going through the game process and fans are the stands.

599
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: There's just awesome, and watching young guys get opportunities to

600
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: take advantage of them, that's even more awesome. So hopefully

601
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: that's what will happen on Saturday. Now, Saturday is also

602
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: a great trial run for the coaching staff, so why

603

Speaker 1: not here from three of the assistants. Next Cornerbacks coach

604
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,480

Speaker 1: here in camp and what do you really like about

613
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: what you guys have accomplished so for They're doing a

614
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: really tremendous job right now as far as getting the

615
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: playbook down, getting the concepts down, really buying into the

616
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: technique that we're teaching them every single day, and honestly,

617
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: they come out every single day in work extremely hard.

618
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: That's you know, we always talk about getting one percent

619
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: better every day, and that's what they set out to

620
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: do every single day they come out here they're trying

621
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: to get one percent better, not at everything, but at

622
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: one small little detail and then we'll be better overall

623
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: as a group. We've talked to Jerry Hughes and Mario

624
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,479
Speaker 1: Addison and they talk about sort of the attitude they

625
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: want to bring to the D line group. When you

626
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: define the attitude of the D line group, well, how

627
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: would you want to people to visualize what the Z

628
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: line groups to look like. It's not just the attitude

629
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: of the D line group, is the attitude of the

630
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: entire defense. You know, the defensive line is the first

631
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: to establish attitude, violence, and discipline for the whole entire defense.

632
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: We're the first people are that are making contact with

633
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: the opposing team, and so in order to do that,

634
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 1: you have to have a relentless attitude to really pursue

635
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: excellence on every single snap. And I want them to

636
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: get those guys to come off the ball every single

637
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: snap like some wild dogs, chasing after the quarterback, cray

638
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: negative plays, getting in the backfield, hitting the running back.

639
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: So that's what we try and bring every single day,

640
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: from our skill development all the way to our team

641
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: reps one on one pass rush, to our team scrimmage

642
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: reps when we're playing against the offense. We're trying to

643
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: come out to people every single day about some of

644
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: the guys that have been here with this team last year.

645
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: What have you seen from them? Guys like John Grenard

646
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: or More Lopez or Malie Collins at half familiarity with

647
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: Love's defense, but now they get they get to play

648
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: for you. They've been great as far as leadership is concerned,

649
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: as far as buying in immediately, Malik obviously is the

650
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: heart of that defensive line. You know, he's he's you know,

651
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: he's a piston that drives the engine and uh and

652
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: he has to he has to be on every single day.

653
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 1: Same thing with Jonathan Grenard, you know, a third year

654
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: player that had some early success in his career, hasn't

655
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: let that get to his head. He just comes out

656
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: humble and works every day. Shows tremendous leadership. Guys like

657
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: Roy Lopez who is just just solid as they come,

658
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: and that you get, independable and just a tank inside.

659
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm very happy with those guys, and

660
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: not only the growth that they've had from OTAs into

661
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: training camp, just by the how they care themselves day

662
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: by day. The leadership they displayed for the younger guys

663
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: as well as the older guys, everybody on the team.

664
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: So they've done a tremendous job out here and I'm

665
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: extremely happy about them. We speaking of that. Along those

666
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: same lines, they've got a lot of respect for some

667
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: of the older players. Roy Lopez says that Malik is

668
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: the best three technique in the league. You know, how

669
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: would you classify Malie Collins and what he's able to

670
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: bring to the group with his experience, Well, you know,

671
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't get into declaring things and are anything like that.

672
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: The only thing I'll say is League is one of

673
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: the hardest working football players I've ever been around. And

674
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: he's very serious about ball. He's all ball. And when

675
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: I say he's the heart of what we do, he

676
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: is the heart of what we do. And he understands that,

677
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: he knows that, he knows the type of responsibility that

678
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: is and he practices like that every single day. A right.

679
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: I mentioned Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison, they played for

680
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: you in Buffalo, they're back. They bring twenty five years

681
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: of experience between the two of them. What do you

682
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: hope that they add to the group. What do you

683
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: hope that they're bringing to everywhere. You can see it

684
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: every day. It's their leadership, it is the way they

685
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: run to the ball, they help with They honestly help

686
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: out the younger guys as much as they can. They're

687
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: just a tremendous resource for everybody that's on the team.

688
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: How to mention, they practice extremely hard. They practice every day,

689
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: They're always running to the ball. They still have a

690
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: lot of rushing them. They still have a lot of

691
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: good football to them. They take great care of their bodies.

692
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: They're true ultimate professionals, and it's good to have guys

693
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: like that, not only in your room, but in the

694
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: overall program as a whole. What about going against guys

695
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: like Laramie Tunsel every day in practice? How does that

696
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: make your group better? I know the old linemen have

697
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: talked about it, and your guys have talked about it

698
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: as well, But that competition level, how does that make

699
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: them better? And I tell them that every day, I say, hey, look,

700
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: you guys are going against one of the best left

701
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: tackles in the NFL. Yeah, and really tied to two

702
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: right time to the NFL Like, get that work in

703
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: make each other better. This is where it is. This

704
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: is where you start developing that team chemistry because ultimately

705
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: we all have the same goal we want. We're here

706
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: to win, and in order to win, both sides have

707
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: to be equally great, and so work with each other.

708
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: Work work as hard as you can't make that guy better,

709
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna make you better. Are an camp, you can't

710
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: really get a true view of what the pass rush

711
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: looks like. But when preseason games get underway, what are

712
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: some of the things that you're looking for out of

713
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: your room. I'm looking for a pocket collapse, and I'm

714
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 1: looking for them to squeeze the pocket. I don't want

715
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback to breathing there. And as long as we

716
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: get that, it's not always about sacks. Sometimes you just

717
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: have to make the quarterback move the ball, or throw

718
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: when he doesn't want to throw, or just make him uneasy,

719
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: get him get his eyes off the coverage and onto

720
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: the rush. So that's what we're looking to do. Look

721
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: at collass the pocket and squeeze the pocket. All right,

722
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: Before I let you go, I know you played a

723
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: little bit with Travis Johnson, who's done a lot of

724
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: stuff on Texans Radio with us. A good friend of

725
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: the show, former Texan, Do you have any good Travis

726
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: Johnson's stories that you can share? Well, the first ye

727
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,040

00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm not into declaring things, but Travis is one of

729
00:33:55,560 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: the best personalities and agree of Shoot National Radio, and

730
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: we're a good friend of mine. I love him the death.

731
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: I love him like he's my brother, and I'd love

732
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: to share so many stories with the rest of the world.

733
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: But that's coming out in my book in ten years

734
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,440

00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: a go to dish for you? To cook. I'm not

766
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: a big cooker. Spaghetti ball and as I guess, yeah,

767
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: what makes yours yours? The seasoning. I had to get

768
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: the seasoning right for my wife. She's big on salty

769
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: food seasoning, so I had to get that right. Little

770
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: bit of garlic, not too much garlic, but a little

771
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: bit of garlic. And does she do most of the

772
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: cooking in your Absolutely? What's your favorite dish of your wife?

773
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: Who big zd or lasagna? Potentially? And she cooks that

774
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: for me. She didn't really cook that before she met me,

775
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: so she's not it's not like she's like an Italian

776
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: girl and it's been in the family, in the blood

777
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: and all that. No. No, but she got accoladed pretty quickly. No,

778
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: it's important. Absolutely. A surprise about h Town that I've

779
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 1: grown to love is oh the food, love the food.

780
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm from Philadelphia, so you've got a high standard. Yeah, absolutely.

781
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if it reaches that, but it's it's

782
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: pretty pretty high up there. When you go back to Philadelphia.

783
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: What do you get whiz with? That's chee steak cheese

784
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: with with onions. You guys are very particular about what

785
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: you put on your cheese steaks, aren't you? Is there?

786
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: And there's like battles about cheese, whiz American, et cetera. Yeah, Yeah,

787
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: my wife's a more of an American or a provolone,

788
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: but I'm a cheese with guy. Greatest movie with Philadelphia

789
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 1: in the backdrop, et cetera. Easy answer would be Rocky

790
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: particularly Rocky four. Rocky four. If he dies, he dies,

791
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: solve the Cold War? Right absolutely? Training Places is a

792
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: pretty good Philly movie, right, Yeah? Absolutely? How much of

793
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: a mental and emotional coach do you have to be

794
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: coaching defensive acts and really being an assistant coach? Yeah,

795
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you're you're managing personalities

796
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: more than anything at this level, and there's a lot

797
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: of them in the dB room Safety's end corners, So

798
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: that's half the battle. Do you think that's where you've

799
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: grown as a coach the most over the years and

800
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: your time and your time as an assistant? Yeah, I've

801
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: gotten better over the years. But but like I said,

802
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: it's it's less about scheme and more about kind of

803
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: managing those those guys in that room. Every guy's different,

804
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 1: so you gotta coach them uniquely. Since your name is dino.

805
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: D I n O, what is the most overrated dinosaur

806
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: of all? Ooh, t Rex, I would I would say

807
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: that's the correct answer. Actually, Rex Big. He's got those

808
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: teeny tiny arms cliched like the Velosco raptor. That's your guy. Yeah, yeah,

809
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm a Veloco raptor guy. I feel like Jurassic Park

810
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: made them famous and made them who they are today,

811
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: So that's a good choice. Favorite retired NFL corner of

812
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: all time Sante Samuel I'll come. He was slight in

813
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: size like me, could find the ball something I value

814
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: right now, had a lot of ball production, and I

815
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: grew up in Philadelphia. He was a corner for the Eagles.

816
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: Her quite pretty natural. Huh yeah. Yeah. His son is

817
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: the same way. I wouldn't fall far from the tree.

818
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: And finally I had a chance to catch up with

819
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: tight End's coach, Tim berber Nick, and we well, we

820
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: got this started off on the wrong foot. And you'll

821
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: hear why right now? Okay, we're gonna start off this

822
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: interview with a fight a little bit. And I asked

823
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 1: you were your friends so long? I I said, okay, Yankees,

824
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: You're like no, Mets, I was like, oh, Okay, good,

825
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: and then you all of a sudden dropped the biggest

826
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: piece of trash talk you could have, and you're like,

827
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: in eighty six, we got you guys. Well, I mean,

828
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: what's that all about. Well, that's the only championship I've

829
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: won as a New York sports fan since I've been alive.

830
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: So I was in kindergarten and I think believe Mike

831
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: Scott was the ace pitcher for I was I was little,

832
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: but I do remember all the things that obviously got

833
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: to the Red Sox and eighty six and that was

834
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: my loan championship as a New York sports fan so far.

835
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: So as a Mets sports fan, what'd you think of

836
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: the documentary that they did on that I watched it

837
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: like two or three times and they beat the Astros.

838
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: What do you think of it? Oh, you started talking

839
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: about the documentary the thirty Yeah. Yeah, I just think

840
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: it was cool seeing all those guys that I grew up,

841
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, as a little kids, Strawberry and good In

842
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: and all those kind of guys. It was it was

843
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: cool just seeing that, you know, as an adult now

844
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: looking back on what was going on and seeing how

845
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: that the Mets did there yeah, coach training camp. I know,

846
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: you've got a really interesting position at tight ends because

847
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: you can have all kinds of different guys play at

848
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: tight end. But overall, house training camp gone for you.

849
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: In the position, it's been great. The guys have really

850
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: come out and worked. They've embraced what we kind of

851
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: told them. They're all, you know, really working hard. They're

852
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: all working multiple positions, and it's really been a good group.

853
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: They've really enjoyed each other. I've enjoyed being around him,

854
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 1: and we've made football and training camp fun and it's

855
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: been easy to come out here every day. And that's

856
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: hard to do training camp being fun. That's one of

857
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: the hardest things, is you how can you try and

858
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: make it fun for that group? Well, when you really

859
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: like football, Yeah, and I actually love football. Training camp

860
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: is fun, so you know, we do that, and you know,

861
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: we kind of you know, it's you know, we will

862
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: joke around at times too, but they enjoy they enjoy football.

863
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: So for them, it's been easy to be fun because

864
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: they want more information, and that's part of it has

865
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: been so easy because they're just they're like sponges. They

866
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: want more and more each day, So that's part It's

867
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: been really fun trying to help them out. Pharrell Brown

868
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: is a guy that came here in twenty twenty. I know,

869
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: your first year seeing these guys. But Pharrell talked the

870
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: other day about he's twenty pounds lighter than he was.

871
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: How has that made him, at least through camp, a

872
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: better player in your eyes? Coach? Well, yeah, Pharaoh's just

873
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: put the work in. You know, he's focused, he's really

874
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, alter detail that's parts would really make him better.

875
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. He's just he's really taken

876
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: to his technique. He's really taken to the coaching, and

877
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: he's just playing faster. In general, I think it all

878
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: facets mentally, physically, everything's made Farrell, you know, play a

879
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: little faster. When you look at the tight end positions,

880
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: he said earlier, you can have all different kinds. You

881
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: can have guys that are receivers disguised and tight end bodies.

882
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: You can have guys that are inline guys. How do

883
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: you kind of manage all of that and the expectations

884
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: for each different tight end you have. Yeah, we're trying

885
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: to teach him all the same. Really, We're not trying

886
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: to say, hey, this guy's a blocking guy, this guy's

887
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: a past guy. We're really trying to teach him all

888
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: to keep, you know, all the same way. And that's

889
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: what training games for to get the guy that's the

890
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: past guy to be a better blocker and the guy

891
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: that's a blocker maybe be a better pass guy. And

892
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: we've really been trying to work on that throw from

893
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: a group from the whole to be a really balanced

894
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: position group. For you, as a coach, I don't know

895
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: how much of this offense is familiar to you or not.

896
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: Could be new to you. Houston's new to you, but

897
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: I'm kind of handling all the new for you as

898
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: you are a Houston house back on for you thus

899
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: far as a coach, you kind of get used to it,

900
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Between me and my family,

901
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately we're you're kind of we're good at this.

902
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's not don't all so much. We're good,

903
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: but we have experienced out and anything you've done a

904
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: couple of times, you get used to it. So you know,

905
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: we have a routine of how we get a you know,

906
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: adjacent to a new area. We get the kids on

907
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: the sports teams. That helps them. They're starting school tomorrow

908
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 1: and we've alway, they've actually started them off to school

909
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: in uh Houston before, so it's not totally new. So unfortunately,

910
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: moving around as a coach, you kind of you get

911
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: you get the moving routine down pretty fast. So are

912
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: then Mets fans or can they be indoctrinated to Astrost fans?

913
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: They're they're all in on the Mets fans. We we

914
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: took them, We went to see me and a park

915
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: and when they played the Astros. Astros actually got us

916
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: this year and the middle two games set. But we're excited,

917
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, we uh Mets are in first place, just

918
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: kind of beat the Braves this weekend in the series.

919
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: So we're kind of looking forward the playoffs and hopefully

920
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 1: the Astros make the World Series and the Mets World

921
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: Series and we can go ahead right here in our

922
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: local backyard. Little revenge would be needed a few thirty

923
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: years after the fact. Coach appreciates Tom, Thank you very much,

924
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,479
Speaker 1: appreciate it. That was fun to catch up with Tim,

925
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: and even though he tried to do a little bullying

926
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: on me about the nineteen eighty six the Mets at all,

927
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: but twenty twenty two is a different story, Coach, look

928
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: out for the Astros in the World Series, and maybe

929
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: not against your Mets. How about that? All right, It's

930
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,640
