00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: Guys, how are you doing great? Looking forward to a

11
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: big weekend? A lot has happened. We had owners' meetings

12
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: this week, among many other things. I wanted to start

13
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: here though we'll go in no particular order, but we

14
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: want to acknowledge and express our condolences to the Indianapolis

15
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: Colts organization and the Ersay family. Jim Ersay passes and General.

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: I know you've covered this league for a long time.

17
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: You covered his dad, Baltimore Colts. Tell us your thoughts

18
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: on the passing of Jim Irsay.

19
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: After I retired from the Chronicle after the twenty twenty

20
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: two draft, I received a package and when I opened it,

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: it was a football addressed to me from the Colts

22
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: with a note from Jim Ersay congratulating me. On forty

23
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: seven years of excellence, and last night I took a

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: picture of it since it started to put it on Twitter,

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: and I thought, now we'll do that. He get lost

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: in all the tributes and it's interesting. Ersay was broadcast

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 3: journalism major and the head of his department at SMU

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 3: was David mccam, who was the head of journalism when

29
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 3: I was at Baylor. And mccam lives in Houston. He's

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: ninety one and I go to launch by once a

31
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: month and he's told me for years what a good

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: student Jim Ursay was, and he thought Ersay could have

33
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 3: a great career in broadcast journalism, but of course he

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: had another thing to do, and he was involved in

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: the organization early on when he was a teenager. And Jim,

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: I think people nationally have a different opinion to him

37
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: than people are knew. And because he was dicted to pills,

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: because he was a big weightlifter at one weight two

39
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: ninety oh impetitive bodybuilder, and he had all kind of

40
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: injuries and surgeries nack back, and I think that's how

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: he got addicted to the pills. But he was so

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 3: generous with giving away millions and millions around the country,

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: especially in Indianapolis, and he is so revered there. And

44
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: the thing that I thought was the coolest thing about

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: Jim Mersay was his collection. He collected. He spent millions

46
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: and millions, and he collected a lot of things sports, music,

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: non sports, not related, but he had a lot of things. Guitars,

48
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: drum set, the drum set the Beatles had when they

49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: made their initial appearance on Ed Sullivan Show, which was

50
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: the biggest audience ever til Mash signed off and he

51
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 3: turned down. He said in his story a couple of

52
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: years ago, one and a half billion dollars and he said,

53
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: but I didn't get all this to sell it. I'm

54
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: not interested in selling it, and I'll be interested to

55
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: see what his family does with it, because it was

56
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: near and dear it his art and he took it

57
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: on the road. His collection never charged anything. He had

58
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 3: a band, the Jim Ursay Band, and he didn't charge anything.

59
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: But Jim was a really good guy. The media loved

60
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: him there, and I've been reading a lot of things

61
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: by the media covered him, how accessible he was and

62
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: calls it one in the morning because he was a

63
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: night out and they knew they better be prepared to

64
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: stay up a couple hours, and he just he as

65
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: a journalism major, he knew the importance of how a

66
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: team used the media to get their message out to

67
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: their fans, and it's a shame ninety nine percent of

68
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: the owners today do not understand that.

69
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a little question. General asked the question.

70
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: Because at this point you ask, is there any do

71
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 4: you think there's any ownership issues going forward now that

72
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: Ersa has passed, or does he pass it down to

73
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: his girls who have been so instrumental in running the colts.

74
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 3: He has three daughters, and the oldest, Carly, has been

75
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 3: involved on the personnel side for a long time. One

76
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: of them's involved on the administrative side. When he was

77
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 3: suspended in I think it was fourteen for six months,

78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 3: Carly took over. If you google her, there's all kinds

79
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: of pictures with her, the headphones and cold stuff on

80
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: the sideline she's at practice. So they think they're in

81
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 3: good hands with her because she's learned at every level

82
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: of the organization. She's not somebody he just put in charge,

83
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: and she has great respect from the fan base and

84
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: the media as well.

85
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: General.

86
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: A lot of people listening are in a world where

87
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: it's always been the Indianapolis Colts, but we come from

88
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: a world where it was the Baltimore Colts, and especially you.

89
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to say what that implies, ye, but

90
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: you understand.

91
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: That I'm old.

92
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: That's sorry, but you want to You understand what the

93
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: Colts meant to Baltimore. And it's been an interesting dynamic

94
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: because Baltimore eventually gets the Ravens, the former Cleveland Browns,

95
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: and look how well they've done. So I guess it's

96
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: all's well, that ends well. But your thoughts on that

97
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: whole moving the Colts thing, because that predated the Oiler

98
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: move obviously, what about that part of the legacy of

99
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: the Ursay family.

100
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: My first hero was Johnny Unias, Johnny Yu, Colts quarterback.

101
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: I had a Colts uniform from sears number nineteen, and

102
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 3: I'd get out of the yard, throw the ball around

103
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 3: to my little brother and the neighbors, and I was

104
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: Johnny Yu. Then the Cowboys came, and the Cowboys were

105
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: terrible for a while, but then when they got good,

106
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: I didt Cols and became a Cowboy fan. And Jim

107
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: Mersey was the antithesis of his dad. His dad was

108
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: despicable human being and drunk. He treated people terribly, and

109
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: I know they said that he embarrassed to Jim a

110
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: lot of times when he was early on. Jim said

111
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 3: the story, my dad fired me more times than I

112
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 3: care to admit. That he wanted to run that organization

113
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: opposite the way his dad ran to Baltimore calls. When

114
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: he took him out of town in the middle of

115
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: the night, they made flower manlines going to Indianapolis. And Jim,

116
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: he was beloved by everybody in organization, whether you were

117
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: in personnel or you were on the administrative side. There

118
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: were times where he took everybody places. He treated his

119
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: people right. And it's a tremendous loss for the NFL.

120
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: All right, So you mentioned the collection. It's amazing. I

121
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: was reading about Ursay's musical instrument collection. It is phenomenal stuff.

122
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: There's a whole Wikipedia page devoted to that. But let

123
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: me ask you this, since rather the subject, what is

124
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: one item a guitar from a famous guitarist, bass or drums,

125
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: or maybe it's a horn, I don't know, But what

126
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: musical instrument historically would you love to have as a

127
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: collector's item.

128
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: I know the one I.

129
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: Want you talking about the one that he had. No

130
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: just one from anywhere.

131
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: One from anywhere. You get to pick it and it's

132
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: all yours.

133
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: Well, he had guitars from Elvis, the Beatles. I really

134
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: came of age with the Beatles. So mane would be

135
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: something like Paul Guitar's first Paul guitar, Paul McCartney's first

136
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: bass which was distinctive, and that big drum set that

137
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: Ringo had the Beatles. That would be something instantly instantly recognizable.

138
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: Johnny Jimmy Hendrick's guitar, very nice.

139
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had one, preferably one that he didn't burn.

140
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: Yes, that would be good, although the burn one.

141
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: Would I'd be fine with Monna. A pop burn guitar

142
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: would be cool. I would pick Jimmy Page double neck

143
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: SG from the seventy three tour.

144
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: By the way, have you seen the Jimmy Page black Crows. Yes, yes,

145
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: Mash that is good. Interesting, that is really really good.

146
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: Speaking of good general, the tush push lives on NFL

147
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,559
Speaker 4: meetings yesterday twenty two to ten. They needed two more votes,

148
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: they didn't get it. The tush push continues to live.

149
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 4: There's a lot of different ways to look at this.

150
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: One of the things that that Mark I talked about

151
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: last night. I read this that you know, the NFL

152
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 4: sort of pushed the packers into being the ones to

153
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: kind of put a team's face, so to speak, on

154
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 4: making that proposal. Your thought about just the tush push

155
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 4: in general not going away and hew up, say you

156
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: think the NFL is that it is staying for twenty twenty.

157
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 3: Five, Well, they're upset about it. Roger Godell didn't want it.

158
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: I think, coming two votes short, we'll visit it again

159
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: next year and then they'll get rid of it under

160
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 3: the guise of not repelling players forward unless you're blocking

161
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: for them. And I think it's terrible. You can't stop

162
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: something somebody else is perfected, so you want to go

163
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: home and get the bosses to change the rules. I

164
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 3: just think that's preposterous. Somebody ought to work harder on

165
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: perfecting it on offense and events instead of whining to

166
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: the other owners to change it. And as Jeffrey Lourie,

167
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: I've read the behind the scenes things in The Athletic

168
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 3: and ESPN about how it went down. He infuriated some

169
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: people when he was talking about it, and I'm surprised

170
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: all of them didn't vote against it, just because of

171
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 3: the way he was talking about it. But even though

172
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: the Safety Commission, the Competition Committee, Goodell all wanted to

173
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: get rid of it, they didn't. But it just shows

174
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 3: you it's coming. And he defied them, said, show us

175
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: statistics that say it's caused players get hurt. He brought

176
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: in Jason Kelsey. Kelsey said, I'd come out of retirement

177
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: if all I had to do was to run the

178
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: toush push from the one yard line. So I'm guessing

179
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: it'll be gone again next year. And he had solicited

180
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 3: Green Bay like Youdell, it's solicited Detroit on the schedule,

181
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: I mean on the playoffs receding, and I'm glad that

182
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: didn't even go to a vote. I think that's ridiculous.

183
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 3: Texans could have played on the road, and if they

184
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: lost on the road in the first round, then they're

185
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: supposed to play a first place schedule. That would be preposterous.

186
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, You know that's a good point about the

187
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: scheduling the following year.

188
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: Channel.

189
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: I never even thought of that. The repercussions. Hey I'm

190
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: on the road, but now I got to play a

191
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: first place schedule. But you did win the division, so

192
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know that that's the way you felt about that.

193
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: I thought you might be one of these people that thought, hey,

194
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: good record, you deserved the host.

195
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: What do you think the NFL would think about Mike

196
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: Leech's short yardage pitch?

197
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: Did you Joe hear about this one? Oh?

198
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: Throw the little person, throw a little person over the top.

199
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: I guess it never came to fruition, But I.

200
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 4: Wonder what the NFL would have thought of that one general,

201
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: Why do you I mean, that's a great point about

202
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 4: the playoff seating staying where it is. It didn't even

203
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 4: get to vote, so I'd imagine the owners will leave

204
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 4: it right there. The other one that changed slightly was

205
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 4: the on side kick, And we've talked about this over

206
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: the years. You know, do you do fourth and fifteen,

207
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 4: fourth and twelve, fourth and twenty and give it a play,

208
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: or do you try and tweak the outside kick.

209
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 2: They moved it back a yard.

210
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound like a whole lot, but the kick

211
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 4: is going to move back to the thirty four yard

212
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 4: line such that maybe you can get the bounce in.

213
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 4: It makes on side kicks a little bit more exciting,

214
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: I know, it's not a big one, but just the

215
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: fact that they give a.

216
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: Little bit more hope.

217
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 4: General, what do you think about that tweak to the

218
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 4: kickoff on side kick roll?

219
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: I didn't think squad about it because you got to

220
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: tell the opposing team you're doing it, which is just ridiculous. Day.

221
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: The whole reason they changed the kickoffs was because of injuries.

222
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: Now they've changed the rule trying to get more kickoff returns.

223
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: What's the sense in that? Just go ahead, let them

224
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: start on the thirty or thirty five if you win

225
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: the coin toss and take at all this rigmo they

226
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 3: keep trying to put in that people don't understand. It

227
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 3: makes no sense, like telling the opponent, yeah, we're going

228
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: to do an onside kick.

229
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 4: Imagine a halftime of the Super Bowl, how many ever

230
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 4: years ago and Sean Payton walks over to the Colts

231
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 4: and says, hey, I'm an onside kick right here.

232
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 2: Yeah.

233
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 4: I mean, it's one of the great players NFL history.

234
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 4: It is that that's a kick start the.

235
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: Second half, and the McAfee one here in twenty fourteen.

236
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: I hate seeing it on the MCCAVV pre roll every

237
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: day at a chev Oh my gosh, please stop anyway, General,

238
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: flag football. It's a thing, and the league will allow

239
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: NFL players to participate.

240
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 3: Thoughts, one player per team if they want to can

241
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: go to the tryouts, doesn't mean they'll make it. I

242
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 3: think there will be UFL players. I think there'll be

243
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 3: some college players, some retired recently retired players who want

244
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,359
Speaker 3: to do it. I think there'll be a lot of competition.

245
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 3: And boy, let one player blow out his acl while

246
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: he's playing flag football and there's going to be screaming

247
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 3: to the high heavens.

248
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.

249
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 4: Next week, General, the OTAs that we get to see

250
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: are taking place. I think Wednesday is the day that

251
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 4: we get to see next week this team in full

252
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 4: for the first time. We don't get to see pads,

253
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 4: so a lot of times we're gonna watch the offensive line,

254
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 4: defensive line. But I still think they're gonna be eyes

255
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 4: on those guys even if there are no pads, just

256
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: to kind of see what the new guys look like

257
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: and how they line up and all.

258
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 2: That kind of stuff.

259
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 4: What are you most excited, general, about seeing next week,

260
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 4: even without the pads, seeing kind of the full group

261
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: for the first time.

262
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty five, absolutely nothing when it comes to

263
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 3: lineman because they can't do squad sept. I hope they

264
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: look good. I'm still watching the receivers, the defensive back

265
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: who are covering the receivers even though there's no pads

266
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: and they can't knock them down. These young quarterbacks, I

267
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: want to see how they throw the ball. It's kind

268
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: of ridiculous considering they can't cover, they can't hit, they

269
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: can't touch each other. They might as well practice flag

270
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 3: football out there. Give them a head start. But I'm

271
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: more interested. Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna watch him.

272
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: I would like. I was watching the two rookie receivers

273
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: and I was watching Woody Marks as well, and so

274
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: I'm I'm fired up to see the skill position players general.

275
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: There was an account called what was it Johnny slick

276
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: Rick Football or something slick Rick Scoops. Slick Rick Scoops,

277
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: the always reliable slick Rick Scoop.

278
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: Did have thirty one thousand followers.

279
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: Thirty one reported I'll put that out of air. Quotes

280
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: that the Texans were engaged in some kind of talks

281
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: with JK. Dobbins, free agent running back. Now, I don't

282
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: want to give slick Rick scoops too much credit here.

283
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: Maybe he's right, maybe he's wrong, But that aside, or

284
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: you can comment on the JK. Dobbins rumor or whatever

285
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: you want to describe it as. But is there a

286
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: position group you'd still like to see them add to

287
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: at this point? Where would you like to see them

288
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: inject some more talent?

289
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 3: Well, if Joe Mixon is in the boot, as reported,

290
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: and that may be why they're looking around. And but

291
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: to me, you can never have enough offensive lineman, especially

292
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 3: interior guys. If Nick Casio and Nmiko Ryans and Nick Kayley,

293
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: if those guys along with Coppopach, if they decide there's

294
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: a guy out there they want to bring in, you know,

295
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: Cassario will do it. You know, it's more the merrier

296
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: when it comes to the offensive line and the way

297
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 3: they've bolstered. I saw some national publication talking about they

298
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: need help and linebacker, and I'm like, do you have

299
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: a clue what's going on in this organization? Maybe they

300
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: know something, Maybe it was slicker Rick. They got injuries

301
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: there we don't know about, but right now I think

302
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 3: their depth on defense is tremendous. He can never have

303
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: enough corners of course. But and as far as wide receivers,

304
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: you know, I guess if you throw another one in there.

305
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: But I would like to see even though they have

306
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: Damian Pierce and they have Woody Marks. Now, if there's

307
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: a guy like JK. Dobbins who's played great when he's healthy,

308
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 3: problem is he gets hurt too much. That's why he's

309
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: available and people are skeptical. But he proved last year

310
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: when he's healthy he can still run and hit the

311
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: home run.

312
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: Apparently, Aaron Rodgers did a three hour interview on Joe

313
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: Rogan's podcast, and I take that for what it is.

314
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 4: The biggest part of that was he didn't shed any

315
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 4: light on whether he was going to play football for

316
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 4: the Steelers or for anybody for that matter. At twenty

317
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 4: twenty five general, what do you think happens with Aaron Rodgers?

318
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: Second part?

319
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 4: If Aaron Rodgers doesn't for Pittsburgh, what do you think

320
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 4: they do at quarterback?

321
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 3: I think they have Mason Rudolph and they'll go out

322
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: there and sign one of these veterans that out there

323
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: and they will have big time issue. Now, people point

324
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 3: out Mason Rudolph has a winning record. Wef that's the case,

325
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 3: why is he not a regular starter? But I think

326
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: Rogers is going to Pittsburgh. I don't think Mike Tomlin

327
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 3: and the Ruinnies would leave themselves that vulnerable. I think

328
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 3: he's going. I think he doesn't want anybody to know

329
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: it because it would create even more controversy. And I'm thinking,

330
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 3: my god, who could listen to him for three hours

331
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: with you?

332
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: He should spend some time in the darkness and come

333
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: up with a solution here and put.

334
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 2: A little more Iahuastra.

335
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little more of that. Well, maybe not too

336
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: much more. I don't know too much. Never done that stuff. Okay,

337
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: let me ask you this about Jacksonville, because I see

338
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: a lot of differing opinions out there about how this

339
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: is going to go for them. They drafted Travis Hunter,

340
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: we know the rest of the story bounce back yere

341
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: maybe with Liam Kohane.

342
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: Are they going to be able to do it or not?

343
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: In general?

344
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: Do you Let's put it this way, you buying are

345
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: selling the Jacksonville Jaguars in twenty twenty five.

346
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 3: Well, for what you know, I think they could win

347
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: eight or nine games, assuming Liam Cohen can get the

348
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: best out of Trevor Lawrence, which nobody's been able to do.

349
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 3: They have the best player in the draft. They had

350
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas last year was outstanding rookie receiver. They're going

351
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 3: to cause a bunch of problems for defensive backs, and

352
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: that's one reason the Texans have loaded up on defensive

353
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: backs at corner in safety. They're going to be playing

354
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: against a team that can throw the ball, and I

355
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: would pick them second. I would pick the Colts third,

356
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 3: and I'd pick the Titans last. I think the Colts

357
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 3: wins six or seven games, Jaguars eight or nine, and

358
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 3: the Texans I looked. I picked them to go eleven

359
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: and six and win the division. Handle it again.

360
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: Is the Colts pick at third purely because of the

361
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: quarterback position.

362
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely, they don't. If Anthony Richardson doesn't make it this

363
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 3: year in his third year, they're gonna have to get

364
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 3: rid of it. And Daniel Jones, at least he's had

365
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 3: a really good season or two in the NFL. He

366
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: gives them hope. I think he was smart to play there.

367
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 3: I'm assuming they'll begin with Richardson at quarterback, but you

368
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: got to think they got some jobs on the line

369
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 3: there and if Richardson bombs out again. I thought it

370
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 3: might Chris costs Jim Chris Ballard his job this year,

371
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: but it didn't. It's interesting now to see how does

372
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 3: Carle Let's see carly r say, is it Gordon? I

373
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: can't remember it'syphonated because she's married. What does she think?

374
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 3: Will she get involved in it? Would she leave Ballard

375
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 3: and change Dyking a loan for another year? But will

376
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 3: she run it like her dad? Or will she be

377
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 3: more hands off and just leave it to the top dogs.

378
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 3: But to me, it's a make or break here for

379
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 3: the coach.

380
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: See I feel Johnny, how do you feel about this?

381
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: I feel like Jones in an off season, preseason training

382
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: camp context should win the job. I feel like his experience,

383
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: he should be able to handle things. It's going to

384
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: look good. The real pressure doesn't come until you play

385
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: these regular season games. I think if they start Anthony Richardson,

386
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: it's going to be the Well. We still feel like

387
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: he gives us the best chance to win with his

388
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: outstanding surprise playmaking. And Daniel Jones, you know, he did

389
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: a solid job in the preseason, but we're gonna go

390
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: with the guy with the higher ceiling X factor, however

391
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: you want to describe it.

392
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 2: Let's say you're right. Let's say you're right and Daniel

393
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: Jones does win that competition.

394
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 4: Then I start, okay, well, what do you do with

395
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson? Are you going to keep him as the backup?

396
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 4: Or do you release him? At that point, I guess

397
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 4: you keep them. But I had this thought if they

398
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 4: released him from the Baltimore Ravens.

399
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 2: Oh, think about this for a second, don't What.

400
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 4: If the Baltimore Ravens then picked him up and put

401
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 4: him in a backfield, maybe not to throw it, but

402
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 4: put him in a backfield.

403
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, Oh, don't start, Holy con

404
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: want to see that.

405
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: I mean, he's got the thread of throwing it if

406
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 4: you need him to. But he could also run. He's

407
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 4: two fifty. He could block for Henry Henry could block

408
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 4: for him. Speaking of Henry, Derek.

409
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 3: Anning expensive blocker, I know.

410
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: He would be. Derrick Henry signs a two year deal. John.

411
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 4: He hasn't seemingly hit a wall at thirty years old,

412
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 4: he ran for nineteen hundred yards. Does father time catch

413
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 4: up to Derrick Henry like seemingly every other back, or

414
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: is he just completely different and he's gonna keep producing

415
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 4: thousand yard seasons for the next two three years while

416
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 4: with Baltimore. What are your thoughts he signs the extension?

417
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 4: What'd you think of that?

418
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: The latter I think that he knowing now he takes

419
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 3: care of himself and how serious he is. He's been

420
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 3: very fortunate when it comes to injuries. He missed half

421
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: a season about four years ago, and he's gonna he's

422
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: gotta be a workhorse and he always will be. But

423
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: I remember Ladanian, Tomlinson, There's been some Curtis Martin, There's

424
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: been some backs Frank Gore who were real good when

425
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: they were like thirty three years old. And the fact

426
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 3: that Lamar Jackson is a threat that every team has

427
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 3: to worry about running in passing that plays right into

428
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: Derek Henry's hands, and they make sure they always have

429
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 3: a big, strong offensive line that can run block. So

430
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: I could see him doing this another two three years.

431
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: General.

432
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: We had a who's better question the other day. I

433
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: want you to weigh in on this one. I gave

434
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: this one to Johnny which was more impressive. Lamar Jackson

435
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: last year throwing forty one touchdown passes only four picks

436
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: over four thousand yards and rushing for over nine hundred yards,

437
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: or Derrick Henry going for almost two thousand yards and

438
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: putting up a season high yard per carry average, which

439
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: was more impressive to you.

440
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 3: Well, I think Gary Henry was able to do that,

441
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 3: and the big reason was because of Lamar Jackson. When

442
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 3: you think of those touchdowns that he provided and how

443
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 3: a few times he turned the ball over, I would

444
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 3: say Lamar Jackson is the more impressive.

445
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was crazy good.

446
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Lamar Jackson was also able to do what

447
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 4: he could do because the.

448
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 2: Dude, why did we ever let these two get together?

449
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 4: Did you see this dude at the press conference? He

450
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 4: was sitting there with like a sleeveless shirt on. He

451
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 4: was kind of his arms up on a table and

452
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 4: it's like.

453
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: Stop, like Demico ryans, Yeah, they stop.

454
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 4: I don't want. I mean, if I see that, I'm

455
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 4: just terrified. As a defensive player, I'm.

456
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: Like I have to tackle him.

457
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: By the way, Tomiko at the season ticket State of

458
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: the Texans town hall things that night, he shows up

459
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: in a shirt and he's just busting out of it.

460
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: The biceps are like we want to be free. The

461
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: biceps are trying to get out. Everyone commented, like, coach.

462
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 3: That's watch was Demiko's buying his shirt smaller?

463
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody asks.

464
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: You to double x, I'll take a medium.

465
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: Somebody asked him who his workout inspiration is and he

466
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: pointed to Nick.

467
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 2: It was great.

468
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: It was good stuff. General, Thanks so much for joining us.

469
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: We really appreciate it, as always to look forward to

470
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: hearing more about your documentary.

471
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 2: Any update now, No updates now.

472
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 3: I'll update you with a new one next week. But

473
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 3: thank you very much for asking, thanks for having me on,

474
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 3: and I hope everybody has a great weekend.

475
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 2: Great Memorial Day weekend. Thank you, General.

476
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: Coming up, we've got whose better type questions more on

477
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: the schedule. It never ends, and it's awesome because it's

478
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: going to get us fired up for the season and

479
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: flag football when everyone's getting wrong about this flag football stuff,

480
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: and if it's one player per team, there's a Texan

481
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: who's a lock to make it and I kind of

482
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: don't want to see it because of something the General said.

483
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that and other things coming up here

484
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: on Texans Radio. So much to get to here on

485
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: the program, let's get right to it. Mark Van Drmir

486
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: and John with you Texans Radio. Great to have you

487
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: along here in the hun Day Texans Radio Studio. And Johnny,

488
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: you're ready for some who's better stuff. Let's go related

489
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: to the schedule somewhat mostly, I think let's go all right.

490
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: We'll start off with a little old derv here.

491
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: Better preseason matchup, preseason game in general at Minnesota the

492
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: opener three pm on August ninth or August twenty third

493
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: closer at Detroit High noon, better preseason game in your.

494
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 2: Mind, I'm gonna say Minnesota. I don't know.

495
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 4: Actually one games one and three, you don't even know

496
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 4: how much the starters are gonna end up playing at all,

497
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 4: if at all. But I do feel like, especially after

498
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 4: the way that this offense played last year against Minnesota.

499
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 2: I know it is a regular season game.

500
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 4: I get that, but Brian Flores will probably have a

501
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 4: few different wrinkles that I think will be good for

502
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 4: Nick Hilly and this offense to see at least a

503
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 4: little bit good point and to see how they can

504
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 4: adapt to things. And even if you don't see the

505
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 4: quote unquote, starters have to have to do it because

506
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: maybe Flores keeps at Vanilla for the first series or so.

507
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 4: You're gonna see how the offense reacts to it, and

508
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 4: I think that's gonna.

509
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 2: End up being key. So I'm gonna go Minnesota.

510
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know how much the starters will

511
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 4: play in either one of those situations, but I feel

512
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 4: like Minnesota, what's the one thing people want to see.

513
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: They want to see this offensive line and the offense

514
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 4: in general. How does it pass? Protect, how does the

515
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 4: offense move? I think Minnesota provides a little bit better

516
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 4: test for that.

517
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: It's a good test.

518
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: And in the preseason we've seen more blitzing and more

519
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: so called exotic looks than ever before. In the last

520
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: few years, five to ten years, preseason has evolved. I

521
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: agree with you also JJ McCarthy, because I want to

522
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: see him, that's right.

523
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: I think it'll be cool.

524
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: He has to play, he needs to play for ball,

525
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: and so they've got to put them out there against

526
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans defense, So that might be fun. The

527
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: middle game is Carolina at home, and there were reports,

528
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: well Carolina in quite about practicing here, and I would

529
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: think Demiko Rans would be up for that, but who knows,

530
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: And if they do practice here, then it makes you wondering,

531
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: well in the game itself, after joint practices, how much

532
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: are we going to see the starters in that noon

533
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: August sixteenth game. So we'll find out together. But that'll

534
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: be Bryce Young. That'll be fun to see him here

535
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: on campus in one way or another.

536
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: So that's cool.

537
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: Yes, Texans Campus, Baby, Texans Campus and Dimiko's the BMOC

538
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: all right? Another one? Feeling better about a prime time win?

539
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: Buffalo on a Thursday night or the Bucks on Monday

540
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: Night football in the Liberty White opener, Bucks on Monday

541
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: Night Football. Keep in mind they won the division, they

542
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: were tough. We all know how good they can be

543
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: with that front. Or Buffalo on a Thursday. They're traveling

544
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: on a short week for that Thursday night tilt on

545
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 1: Amazon and ABC thirteen. So feeling better about a primetime win?

546
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: Which game do you feel better about?

547
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 4: Just as I want to talk myself into Week two

548
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 4: against the Bucks because you get an extra day. You know,

549
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 4: we've not played extremely well on Thursday games the last

550
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 4: how many every years? I think the last time I

551
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 4: remember us winning one was twenty twenty for Thanksgiving. I

552
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 4: think that was the only one I could really remember

553
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 4: us winning. Now, we didn't playing Thursday games. We did

554
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 4: twenty one played the Eagles. Was that a Thursday? It

555
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 4: was twenty two? Yeah, played the Eagles on a Thursday.

556
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 4: Twenty one it was Carolina Panthers or it lost that one.

557
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 4: Twenty three didn't have a Thursday game. Twenty four played

558
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: the Jets, didn't play exceeding well. Not so we've not

559
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 4: played really really well on Thursday nights even here or there.

560
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: Now it's a different team, different situation, et cetera.

561
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 4: However, I feel like the Bucks are maybe a little

562
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 4: bit better matchup too. I mean, Baker's tough to stop

563
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 4: Josh's MVP. But I feel like the last time we

564
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 4: played the Bucks and is a little different situation on

565
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 4: both sides. But I feel like we were able to

566
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 4: do offensively what we wanted to. I feel like the

567
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay offense or excuse me, defense isn't all. They're

568
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 4: not back to that twenty twenty level like they had.

569
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 4: That twenty twenty defense was really really good. They're not

570
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 4: back to that. I think they can put up some

571
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 4: points and you get a little bit of a shootout,

572
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 4: hopefully you can win that shootout at home like you

573
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 4: did back in twenty twenty three. So I'm saying Monday

574
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 4: Night against the Bucks, I think the Bills are gonna

575
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 4: be I had a thought last year the Bills are

576
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 4: gonna have maybe a down year, kind of reset year,

577
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 4: and we popped them in Week five. But they got

578
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 4: better and better and better. Yep, and as Josh got

579
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 4: better and better and better. And I just worry about

580
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 4: having to face Josh Allen, regardless in this building or not.

581
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go Tampa Bay Monday night. Get that

582
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 4: winning week two.

583
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: This era of Buffalo Bill's football. Look, this is a

584
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: team that, although they lost for super Bowls in a row,

585
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: they went to force super bowls in a row. That's

586
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: their standard, at least getting there. That's the high water

587
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: mark with Jim Kelly in company. But I've been told

588
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen is already more beloved in Western New

589
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: York than Jim Kelly.

590
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: I mean, that's amazing, it's amazing. That's incredible considering what

591
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: they did.

592
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: I think losing the super Bowl can be so emotionally

593
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: damaging that it almost hurts you.

594
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: More in a way.

595
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could see that almost, Yeah, I'd like to

596
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 4: be able to go there to test your theater.

597
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 2: Let's test.

598
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: Let's just test there to win the Super Bowl. But

599
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: I want to at least get there. But Allen's done

600
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: some incredible things. They just have not gotten over the

601
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: hump Thursday night game with the Bills Bill's Mafia, less

602
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: of a chance, I would say to travel maybe, Okay,

603
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: what at sal car? So?

604
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 4: I texted sal and I said, well, you know, at

605
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 4: least we're playing you guys on a Thursday night, probably

606
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 4: not gonna have Bill's Mafia. And he said, well, uh,

607
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 4: he said that's not maybe not the case. He said,

608
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 4: it's definitely more challenging. However, Houston is basically the only

609
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 4: true destination city on this year's schedule. Everything else is

610
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 4: Eastern time zone and close by and mostly colder weather.

611
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,959
Speaker 2: So that will still be a popular game to go to.

612
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: You know what warms my heart South Capaccio, Bill's sideline

613
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: reporter saying that Houston.

614
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: Is a destination How about that? That is sweet.

615
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: That was very flattering to have Houston called destination city. Yeah,

616
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: come here, I Wellesley would not call it a destination city. However,

617
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: if you live in Buffalo and it's winter or late fall,

618
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: or whatever the heck it is. Yeah, Houston is a

619
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: destination city. Anything below the Mason Dixon line is a

620
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: destination city.

621
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 2: I want to get warm, I want to get out

622
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: of this.

623
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: Frigid temperature region, the frozen tundra of western New York. Yes,

624
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: it's a destination city in that way.

625
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 4: You know more than anybody. When we fly somewhere to

626
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 4: play a game. Say we're going to play a game

627
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,959
Speaker 4: in September and we're going up north of October. We're

628
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 4: going up north, and that plane door hits when we

629
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 4: get off, and it's like, oh, this is glorious.

630
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: Compared to what we have in Houston.

631
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 4: But then there are times we go in January and

632
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 4: that door opens and it's like, this is not what

633
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 4: we have in Houston, you know. So I can imagine

634
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 4: for Bill's Mafia when they are thinking a November game and.

635
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 2: They're like, hey, we can go to Houston, can be fifty.

636
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: Oh we love that. They'd be ball me.

637
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you get that feel when you get off the plane,

638
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, this is great. So I think I

639
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 4: can see it. But it's gonna be tough for them

640
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 4: on a Thursday night.

641
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: I love getting off the airplane after coming back from

642
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: a cold weather game. Yeah, preferably with a win, and

643
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: you just feel that humidity and land.

644
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 2: Oh I love it. I love it. I hate the

645
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: cold on my body.

646
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: Okay, tougher game at the Rams at the Chargers.

647
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: Hear me out. People feel like, I just think.

648
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: There's a narrative. Oh, the Rams much tougher. It's the Rams,

649
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: my gosh, Sean McVay the Rams. Well, you got Harriball

650
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: coaching the Chargers. Now, they actually won more games than

651
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: the Rams last year.

652
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: They won eleven. The Rams won ten.

653
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: Okay, you're opening at the Rams and presumably fresh Chargers.

654
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: Is the second to last week of the season, and

655
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: it is a relatively short week. It's a Saturday game

656
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: now on the schedule says tbd P the TBA or

657
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: TV something, but on the Google schedule it says Saturday.

658
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: And on an early schedule we saw there was Saturday

659
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: in parentheseseason.

660
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: I think it's a Saturday. Yep, so it's a Saturday.

661
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: It could get flexed out if both teams are one

662
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: team stinks and they want to move things around, but

663
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: for now, it's a Saturday.

664
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: So which is the tougher game at the Chargers.

665
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 4: At the Rams, I think having to stop Matt Stafford,

666
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 4: Pukinakua and Devonte now that, I think that's gonna be tougher.

667
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 4: I think the Chargers will one of the I wanst

668
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 4: say one of the lessons, but I think one of

669
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 4: the lessons maybe they learned is a maybe we should

670
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 4: try and run the rock against these guys a little

671
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 4: bit more. They didn't have a ton of success, but

672
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 4: they sure as heck didn't have success throwing the football.

673
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 4: So I think the Rams offense is multiple enough, but

674
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 4: has those wide receivers that they can put you in

675
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 4: run pass situations where you're like, I'm not too sure.

676
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 4: I think the Rams will stay in second and four

677
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 4: and second and five and kind of keep you off balance,

678
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 4: where I think that the Chargers, I don't know that

679
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 4: you get pushed as much. I think it'll be interesting

680
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 4: if they go into that game and put staying on

681
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 4: McConkey and see how that goes with them at that point.

682
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 2: But I think tougher game is gonna be the Rams.

683
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 4: I think the Rams multiplicity offensively, a McVeigh coach team

684
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 4: who's had all offseason to try and get ready for

685
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 4: the Texans and then getting ready for him and his offense.

686
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 2: I think that's I think it's tough. I think it's

687
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 2: really tough.

688
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 4: So I think starting that the season with the Rams,

689
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 4: I think it's more difficult. I think by the end

690
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 4: of the year, week seventeen, either one of these teams

691
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 4: is not gonna be good. One of the teams is

692
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 4: completely out of the playoff run. We're not playing for

693
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 4: seeding anymore. I think the game will not matter as

694
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 4: much for both teams. So I dims say the Rams

695
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 4: right off the bat. Both teams want to get off

696
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 4: to one to zero big time. Get off the good start,

697
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 4: you'd beat a playoff team from the previous year.

698
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 2: I just think both teams are gonna be sky high

699
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: for that game.

700
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: Sky high opening day. Ye, what an opener at the open.

701
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: You know what I find interesting? Mike Lafleur, baby Lafleur

702
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: as I call him. Yeah, Matt's little brother. Is he

703
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: with the Rams now he's been with the Rams?

704
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

705
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: So Nick Caley gets the job here as offensive coordinator

706
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: and Mike was on the staff in San Francisco with

707
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: Debiko Ryant. That's right, Mike went to the Jets to

708
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: be the OC with Robert Sala first, and he got

709
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: run out of there and doesn't get a whiff as

710
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: an OCT.

711
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 2: Now he's in O C in La.

712
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 4: But we all know McVeigh long enough, you're gonna end

713
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 4: up getting something.

714
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: Matt was the OC with the Rams and when it's

715
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: to Tennessee where he could call the plays actually, and

716
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: then he got the Green Bay job. Mike needs that

717
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: chance again in order to get a head coaching job.

718
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: Can't do it from underneath McVeigh. So coming here if

719
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: that was an option, would have been an option, but

720
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: didn't want them apparently or whatever. I don't know, if

721
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: there are other things.

722
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: Maybe he didn't want it, I don't know, but it

723
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: ended up being Nick Keyley.

724
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 4: And that's the first game that the Nick Kayley attack

725
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 4: will be broken out of the box.

726
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: And you want to see what what it looks like.

727
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 4: And I'm I'm curious too, because I think we'll see

728
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 4: some of it in training camp.

729
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: I don't think we'll see much of it.

730
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 4: We'll see the basics during preseason games, but it's gonna

731
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 4: be fun to see it completely unearthed against the Rams,

732
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 4: and that opener I think got opener is a tougher one.

733
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 1: Okay, next who's better type question? We're gonna mix home

734
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: in road. Now tougher game, Oh boy, Broncos at home,

735
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: Colts on the road.

736
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 2: You're going into Lucas Soil. Always tough.

737
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: I think the Colts, the Colts and Jags have I

738
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: will say wild card, not in a playoff context, but

739
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: wild card meaning you never know what's gonna happen. Yeah,

740
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: you never know what's gonna happen with these teams. The

741
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: Colts could flash to nine wins again, and they won

742
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: nine games two years ago with Gardner Minshew. Right now,

743
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: they got Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson. Some magic happens there,

744
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor stays healthy, they run the ball.

745
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 2: Whoop, We're back to eight nine wins.

746
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: We're back to being a semi contender in the AFC South.

747
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: Tough game at Indie or is it home against the

748
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: Broncos who were tough last year made the playoffs?

749
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 2: Lost on the road against Buffalo.

750
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't know it's in store for Act two with

751
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: bo Nicks in his career, in his so called sophomore season,

752
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 1: But we'll see which is tougher.

753
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 4: Let me ask you question fast got me thinking who

754
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 4: wins more games in twenty twenty three for the Colts

755
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 4: or or let's just say who wins more games for

756
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 4: the Colts this year.

757
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew is the starter or Daniel Jones as the

758
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 2: starter this year?

759
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: If you had Gardner, yeah, I think the ceiling is higher.

760
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 1: With Jones, potentially the floor could be a little lower.

761
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 2: I think that's that's a good way put it.

762
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: I think Minshaw gets you a steady assue goes kind

763
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: of performance. Minshe beat the Ravens in Baltimore last year

764
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: playing for the Raiders. For the Raiders, I mean, and

765
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: they look good in the fourth quarter and they came

766
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:44,959
Speaker 1: back and won the game.

767
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: It was very good if they could do what we

768
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 2: could do it Darning.

769
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: But with Daniel Jones, if he's really rolling, you know,

770
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: and hangs out of the ball, you can run the ball,

771
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: bit throw the ball.

772
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 4: I mean, stop that sentence right there, that if Daniel

773
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 4: Jones is rolling, the Colts end up being the tougher

774
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 4: the tougher game, right, because I do think that Bonnick's

775
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 4: and the Broncos offense will step back a little bit.

776
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 4: He'll see some things that you know, kind of like

777
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 4: CJCJ saw a few different things last year, and you know,

778
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 4: the offense wasn't able to handle it. Now, I do

779
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 4: think that Sean Payton has got his system kind of

780
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 4: set in place the way that he wants and I

781
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 4: think they'll be able to see some things and see

782
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,479
Speaker 4: Bo grow a little bit. But I do think second

783
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 4: year for a quarterback it can be tough because now WHOA,

784
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 4: they've seen you a little.

785
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: Bit kind of caught onto your tendencies.

786
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 4: And I think the Broncos defense is going to be

787
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 4: rock solid, but I think we're going to face a

788
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 4: number of more explosive offenses than what the Broncos are

789
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 4: bringing here. That said, I think the Colts if what

790
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 4: you just said, if Daniel Jones finds a little bit

791
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 4: of a groove, he's not turning the ball over, They're

792
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 4: protecting him, he's not making big mistakes, it's the Colts.

793
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 4: It's the Colts because if he's playing at that level, now,

794
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 4: the question is, can Daniel Jones play at that level?

795
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 4: Can Daniel Jones give you a B minus or B

796
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 4: performance every single week?

797
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 2: If he is capable.

798
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 4: Of that and you get the B plus performance, it's

799
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,439
Speaker 4: gonna be it'll be tough to beat them up there.

800
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 2: It'll be tough to beat them one more for you.

801
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: Best schedule video this year that you saw? So, so

802
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 2: who's best question? Chargers.

803
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 4: Chargers Minecraft was exceptional. Yeah, and I thought the What's up?

804
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I understood that commercial, But what I loved

805
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 4: about it was I think the first five seconds of

806
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 4: it because when Bunn picks up the phone you see

807
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 4: in the background and Finnigan going at it. Yeah, oh yeah,

808
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 4: you see the old commercial, but you also hear so

809
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 4: there's a little I love. I love the subtleties in

810
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 4: the little easter head.

811
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: I love having on there. Yeah.

812
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: Dennis in huge, so many great sports arguably second to

813
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: Costner in Sport Movie, just prolific showings.

814
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 2: I did a double take when I saw him, was

815
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 2: like what I mean?

816
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, whoa awesome. So I was so

817
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 4: excited to see him. But the Chargers have just these

818
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 4: little subtle easter eggs thrown throughout their their Minecraft video

819
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 4: that were really really could and really funny.

820
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: And then it's been that way for the last three

821
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 2: or four years.

822
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 4: So the Chargers are the Chargers are definitely the Philadelphia

823
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 4: Eagles in this thing.

824
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 2: They're they're top notch. They're they're the best at it.

825
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 4: I didn't love the schedule videos this year, by and large,

826
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 4: By and large, I didn't love them.

827
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 2: I thought there were some that could have been. Yeah,

828
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 2: a little bit better.

829
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: Is the Titans won from a couple of years ago

830
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: where they're surveying just asking questions on Broadway.

831
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: Is that the best one we ever saw? Yeah?

832
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 4: It's funny because I've seen kind of I've seen kind

833
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 4: of a trend I guess on being Instagram or whatever.

834
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 2: And so I.

835
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 4: Saw one the other day kind of along the same

836
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 4: lines where this guy these these uh, these two guys. Uh,

837
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 4: he says, I asked my my Mexican friend how to

838
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 4: pronounce SEC teams, and so they pre pronounces, you know,

839
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 4: like and then he spells them out like how it's pronounced.

840
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: He just cracked me up.

841
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 4: But it was kind of the same kind of along

842
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 4: the same vein, And those those cracked me up because

843
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 4: they're so easy to do.

844
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: It's just you don't film your buddy saying it incorrectly.

845
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 2: But you have to edit them, well, you do. You

846
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: have to edit them extremely well. It's all of the editing.

847
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 2: That's what we always say it's all the editing.

848
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that to me is better than something pre

849
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 4: produced that costs god knows how much.

850
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 2: And sometimes isn't that funny?

851
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: Okay? Next up, flag football? What's our starting five in

852
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: the NFL? And what Texans player do I not want

853
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: to see make it? Who I think would be a

854
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: lock to make it. We'll get to that next year

855
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: on Texans All Access. Back to it for a final

856
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: segment here on Texans Radio and Johnny the Texans player.

857
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 2: People have been waiting.

858
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: The Texans player who I think is a lock the

859
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: number one flag football Olympic candidate for me. I think

860
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: you might agree with my choice here, Derek Stingley just

861
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: there's no question in my mind he would be the guy. Now,

862
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: multiple people players could do this, but sting is the

863
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: number one candidate. Great hands, so as a dB, forget

864
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: about it. I forget about it. He is so good

865
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: he could also play receiver for your flag football team,

866
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And my buddy Matt, who's you know,

867
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 1: kind of an acquaintance buddy who ran the flag football

868
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: league that my older kid played in. I knew that

869
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: he played with some NFL guys like he played with

870
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 1: Steven Simms. Oh, he played with a bunch of guys.

871
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: He played on a team with flag football athletes, really

872
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: great athletes, and they played NFL players during the lockout.

873
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: So this would have been twenty eleven. Jamal Charles among them.

874
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, he said they beat him soundly, just boat

875
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: race them. Yeah, then he's not bragging, but he's making

876
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: the point that a lot of people are making. And

877
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: Darryl Ducett, the quarterback from Team USA, that hey, it's

878
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: a different game, different different game, different game. I saw

879
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: different Pro Bowl flag football highlights on NFL Network and

880
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: they weren't They weren't touting it as this is what

881
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: it's going to look like. But you watch them play

882
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: at the Pro Bowl, and I know that's friendly competition,

883
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: but it ain't going to be that. This is going

884
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: to be hell raising stuff. Joe Burrow is not going

885
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: to be the flag football quarterback. It'll be Kyler Murray,

886
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: It'll be Jaden Daniels, Lamar Jackson, It'll be some or Mahomes,

887
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: somebody like that.

888
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 2: If anybody from the.

889
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 4: League to get the most out of the offense, yes,

890
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 4: because you've got to have somebody that's mobile. I use

891
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 4: this analogy in a sense, and I think, you know,

892
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 4: I went over to Spain with a group of American

893
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,959
Speaker 4: basketball players to be an assistant coach, kind of go along

894
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 4: for the ride, to kind of be a chaperone whatever.

895
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 4: Our guys had the hardest time going from playing American basketball,

896
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 4: how you play American basketball to playing international basketball. I

897
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 4: totally understood the dream team thing after I went like,

898
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 4: I totally got it.

899
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 2: Two totally different games.

900
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 4: American basketball and international basketball are way closer than flag

901
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 4: football and NFL football.

902
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, like they're on different plants.

903
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 4: And the analogy I used was, it's like taking PGA

904
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 4: golfers and putting them in a contest against putt putt champions.

905
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: You know what, that's a good one. Now PGA golfers

906
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: can putt. They can't put these putt putt guys. They

907
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: know the the bounce off the wood right, the angle

908
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: the windmill is gonna go this way.

909
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 4: Like pg golfers could go in there and do it

910
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 4: and eventually get better at it.

911
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: Sure, but immediately to spend the time.

912
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 4: If they spend the time doing it, but immediately they're

913
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 4: not gonna jump right in and be successful because it's

914
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 4: a totally different game.

915
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 2: Serious X and NFL.

916
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: They would say, like, yeah, Michael Parsons would be great

917
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 1: to rush the pass flag football.

918
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: No, we wouldn't. This is not what you're looking at.

919
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: You gotta get a fat I mean not that Parsons

920
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: isn't fast, but faster than Parsons type guy.

921
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, long is good if you had a wingspan.

922
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: But you got to be able to pull that flag baby,

923
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: and that thing gets quite elusive in these games. This

924
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: is this is interesting because McClain's right. You know, you

925
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: get one injured player, people are going to freak out.

926
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: That's why you know, I'd love to see Derek Stingley

927
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: Junior play, but I wouldn't want to see him play.

928
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 2: If you know what I'm saying.

929
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 4: I know exactly what you're saying, and it's not to me.

930
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 4: It's really that sting is out of injury history. It's

931
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 4: just injuries anybody, anybody.

932
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: Because soft tissue stuff happens when you're running around. These

933
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be running around quite a bit now

934
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: they're playing on a field.

935
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 4: It's not like when Robert Edwards got hurt with the

936
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 4: Patriots many years ago. They were playing a beach at

937
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 4: that point. Yeah, Okay, that's a little different. You're playing

938
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 4: on more true surface, et cetera. I'm just saying you

939
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 4: are arguing it. It's almost like apples and crab apples,

940
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 4: like they're completely different things.

941
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 2: Yea.

942
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 4: And to say, well, yeah, I'm gonna be the NFL

943
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 4: player's gonna be great at it eventually, yes, eventually.

944
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 2: I mean, look what happened in American basketball. International basketball.

945
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 4: International players became so good that they came over and

946
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 4: dominate American basketball.

947
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 1: Before I would go Micah Parsons, I might look at

948
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: some NBA point guards or something like that.

949
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 2: Seriously, Yeah, not that I even go to.

950
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 4: I might even go with the Xavier You're worthy. He

951
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 4: runs four to two, He'll get to the guy faster.

952
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 2: Are you here? Might do that.

953
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: You know what I would want as far as receivers,

954
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,959
Speaker 1: and I guess if you have ten people on a team,

955
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have some offensive specialists. Yeah, I'll go tall,

956
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: but I want the tall guy who can cut best,

957
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: not necessarily a four to four guy. I want a

958
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: guy who can you know, turn on a dime, because

959
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: those are the guys who really make trouble for the

960
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: defenders in the flag football context. So I want to

961
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: see that. Will Fuller I think would have been outstanding

962
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: at flag football. I mean just able to turn on

963
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: a dime with speed, that sort of skill set. Jhalan

964
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: Knowle would be a stun in flag football. Oh, Chalen Knowle,

965
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: that's another one. We'll just start stop. He's so good

966
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: and so clean. I think by the time they play

967
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes it might be like, I'm not gonna do it.

968
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: You know, he'll be a little older by then and

969
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: then forget about it. Okay, didn't mean to say forget

970
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: about it twice a minute show, right, but I did.

971
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 2: All right.

972
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we've got Chris Clark. He has some things to say.

973
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: Former Texans offensive lineman spent a dozen years in this league.

974
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: Smart guy can't wait to catch up with him, among

975
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 1: other things. On Friday Show pre Memorial Day Weekend, Area

976
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: forty five coming up. You want to hear what those

977
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: guys have to say about everything. Have a great night,

978
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 1: Go Texans.
