1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to everybody through a Wednesday Nation of Texans All 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am your 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: host is the Evening John Harris, glad to be with 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: you and kicking off the show with me or good 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: my good friends DPC or Drew Doherty gang. How are 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: we doing, Drew? What's going on? Oh man, what a day. 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: It's been a while day. J Joe retiring or not retiring, 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: but excuse me. The mutually agreed mutual agreement that he's 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: going in free agency that came out. You know, we 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: knew about it in the building about two hours before 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: the whole rodeo announcement. So it's been an odd day, 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: but really bumm because he's one of my all time 13 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: favorites to deal with. He's one of the greatest Texans ever. 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: He's gonna go in the Ring of Honor someday and 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: I think I share the same feelings as you guys. 16 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: Just sad to see him go. Wish the best for him, 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: and he was a great, great Texan. You said something 18 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: out during before we were on the air that I 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: want to make sure that we get that we get 20 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: into this DP. We all knew j Joe. We all 21 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: had a opportunity to talk to him outside locker room, 22 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: inside locker room down the hallway near our offices. I mean, 23 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: he was just he's one of the kind. Yeah, I 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: knew we didn't we draft a few weeks ago Texas players, 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: and I think he didn't start their career with the Texas. 26 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: It didn't start. And I and he was my favorite, 27 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: number one it was the number one pick. I had 28 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: picked him, and you know, and I had even said, like, 29 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really strange when he's not in that 30 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: locker room anymore. And and here we are, what just 31 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: a few weeks later, and he's not gonna be in 32 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: the locker room anymore. Yeah, And I and I just 33 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: always I think I'm always going to remember that he's 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: got that corner locker. Yeah, in the bat and just 35 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: off to the side, and you'd always see younger players, 36 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: older players, veteran players, um offensive defensive players just pull 37 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: up their chairs, gather around him and just be chatting 38 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: throughout the week, especially like late in the week on Fridays. 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: And I always tried to pitch a show to him 40 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: called Jjoe's Corner. We put a couple of chairs a 41 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: little lamp and then he just gives advice easily, life 42 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: advice because I knew that's what he was doing. Yeah, 43 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: and so he always he always like laughed when I 44 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: told him that, but I was like, I'm gonna make 45 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: it happen. So my biggest regret is that I could 46 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: not make that come to fruition. Yeah, but he must 47 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: have had some I would love to see him mike 48 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: up for some of those conversations about life. It has 49 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: definitely been a newsy couple of days. One from a 50 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: world perspective, hitting Houston with the Rodeo being canceled, It's 51 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: just kind of odd to be here at this time 52 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: of night and look around there's nobody here. You're like, 53 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: you so used to seeing gatekeepers and everything that works 54 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: here at the rodeo completely out of the building and 55 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: or getting out of the building, moving out of the building. 56 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: It's just been that's been kind of odd. And of course, 57 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: from the Texas perspective, Darren Fells and Kymie Fairbaron signed yesterday, 58 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: DeAndre Carter signed today, and then the news of Jonathan 59 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: Joseph mutually agreeing to go into free agency, and I 60 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: wonder what the market will be and I said this 61 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: to John mcclin. He came over to our studios, our 62 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: studio Sports Radio six ten. Where now your studios. You've 63 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: been there always? Yeah, I've been there. I've got squatters, right, 64 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: said guess But I m I said to him something about, um, 65 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: you know j Joe and what you know what he 66 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: means to this organization, And it's just everybody that's around him. 67 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: John said this. Everybody that's around him is a positive 68 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: interaction with him. Everybody, everybody you meet has a positive interaction. 69 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: I mean that includes with him, That includes us too, 70 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: that includes the media. I mean we we've covered him 71 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: in winning seasons. We've covered him in a two and 72 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: fourteen season, whether it was a win, whether it was 73 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: a loss. You could always count on Jonathan Joseph to 74 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: step aside answer any questions tactfully, well thoughtfully. I mean 75 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: everyone liked him, not just the players, the media loved 76 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: working with him too. He was a pleasure to talk 77 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: to and to work with. I mean, I think I 78 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: tweeted it out right after the news that he was 79 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: one of the guys that anytime I saw him, he's dp, 80 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: how are the kids? How the kids doing? We would 81 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: we would talk about life, We would talk about our kids, 82 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: what they were up to. His older son was very 83 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: similar in age to my older son. Our kids were 84 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: pretty similar in age. And I know he just had 85 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: a baby put it on Instagram yesterday, So had a 86 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: baby boy. And I mean just sort of fun to 87 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: see him as a you could totally seem as a 88 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: family guy as well as a player, because you know, 89 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: he just he just exuded that he was more than 90 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: just a player for this team. I said to John 91 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: as we talked about you know j Joe, and I said, 92 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: if you still feel like you can play like I've 93 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: given this advice to couple players Jog Johnson, who's now 94 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: with the Colts. He was kind of trying to sidel 95 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: though that he should keep going after a spot in 96 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: the NFL or go coach and you're trying to kind 97 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: of figure out where he wanted to go. And I 98 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: remember I was sitting at a lunch with him at 99 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: a Tex SAIDs event and he was kind of go through. 100 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: I said, look, do you still love playing game? Playing 101 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: a game? He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, I love playing 102 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: a game. Was like, play it until you can't or 103 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: they tell you you can't because it's not like you 104 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: can go play pickup game of basketball. You don't have 105 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: pickup games of football. So if you can play, play, 106 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: and I mean that would be my advice to Joe 107 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: as long as he wants to continue to play, and 108 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: if somebody wants to employ man, keep playing, keep playing. 109 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: But that said, I'd like to think that at some point, 110 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: when he is completely done and the cleets get hung up, 111 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: that he does come back here. I think I'm well, 112 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: I mean I would if he didn't. I'm shotimistic that 113 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: he will come back. I was not optimistic when Andre Johnson. 114 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: I would I never would have. I never would have 115 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: even considered Andre coming back. You know, Brian Cushing too. 116 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: I would not have considered those guys coming back to 117 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: this building one day. But I think maybe because they've 118 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: come back that I look at a guy like Jjoe 119 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: and think I'd like to have this that guy in 120 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: this organization some way, shape or form. Yeah, we talked 121 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: about it with him multiple times over the last four 122 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: or five years, about what he's gonna do when he finishes, 123 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: because you know, we've heard from so many different folks 124 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: all this guy would be a great coach, talking about 125 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph and he's he said, yeah, there's an interest there, 126 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: but I don't know that he wants to necessarily have 127 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: the grind and the hours that NFL coaches have to 128 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 1: have as assistants as head coaches too. So we'll see. 129 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: But maybe I'm sure there's a role that you could 130 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: be figured out or they could be figured out for him, 131 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: because he certainly has in a lot of knowledge, a 132 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: lot of wisdom to impart upon people. He's a good person, 133 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: like we heard to be around. He was always holding 134 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: court as locker DP said. I wrote about that in 135 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: an article that just went out earlier today on Houston 136 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: Texans dot com. He definitely has a future kind of 137 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: his choosing off the field when he does hang it up, 138 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 1: and I can't wait to see what it is because 139 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: he's he's going to be successful at it whatever it is. 140 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: You know, Andre Johnson needs to say that. He said, 141 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't think I want to 142 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: coach in the NFL because the hours are long, it's 143 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: such a grind. But I think some of these players, 144 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: when they're removed from it long enough, they sort of 145 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: missed just being in the locker room and being around 146 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: the guys. Like as much as they say, oh, I 147 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: want to coach high school kids, I don't think they 148 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: it's not the same feeling for them in the locker 149 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: room as it is when they come back here. And 150 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: with Brian Cushing here and Akeem Dent and t J. 151 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: Yates a lot of Jjo's former teammates, I could see 152 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: it being more of a more of an attractive option 153 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: for him because it wouldn't be just him and a 154 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: bunch of coaches and a bunch of younger players. There's 155 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: now this group of pro football players that are now 156 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: retired that are in coaching. Yeah. One of the most 157 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: fascinating things about J Joe. And it became the more 158 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: that I that I heard. I knew that he was 159 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: I mean football IQ, off the charts, all that kind 160 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: of stuff. And I knew he was a great in 161 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: the locker room with younger players. I mean I knew 162 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: all that. We were interviewing Hop one time and we 163 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: were in the old studio. We were interviewing Hop and 164 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: we were talking about just you know, what he's learned 165 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: over the years, Like what are the things that he's 166 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: taken in, Like is there a player that you look 167 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: to that kind of helps you with all that. And 168 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: we weren't even thinking about like John Joe or anybody 169 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: in the defensive side. I only thought maybe Andre Johnson 170 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: and something like that. And the first person he mentioned 171 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: was Jonathan Joseph and I kind of looked at him. 172 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, man, he goes, I come off the field, 173 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: he goes, j Joe's the first person to talk to 174 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: me and get in my ear and tell me what 175 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: coverage they're in. What were you thinking against that coverage? 176 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: Like JJO was the first guy to talk to DeAndre 177 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: Hopkins coming off the field, and I just thought, man, 178 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: and so, okay, well maybe that's a receiver dB thing. 179 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: You know, maybe that's just the way it is. And 180 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: then we were talking to Sean after his first year. 181 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: He sat down in here with me and Mark last 182 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: last spring or two springs ago, and we were talking 183 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: to him about that and he brought up Jjo. He 184 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, Jjo comes over and he's he's saying, Hey, 185 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: these are the coverages. He's what they're trying to do. 186 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: And he talked about the different adjustments and like, Jjoe's 187 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: one of the first guys that would you know, basically 188 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: get to him off the field, you know, before he 189 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: sat down and would talk to Tim Kelly or the 190 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: coaches or whomever. And I was like, that just was 191 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: fascinating to me because once you get and I learned 192 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: this once I got to college, offensive defense was such 193 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: separate lives. They're so separate offense in one meeting room 194 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: defense and the other. You only get together, you know, 195 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: for team meetings, and then when you play games, that's it, 196 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: and that you're completely totally separate. So what I'm doing 197 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: on defense, why am I going to talking to my 198 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: offensive guys? And it's the same in the NFL. It's 199 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: even maybe even more so because at least in college, 200 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: you know you'll live together, you live at the same dorm. 201 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: Like there's some of that. NFL is totally separate. But 202 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: yet here's j Joe with that knowledge and then knowing 203 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: how to impart that knowledge and wisdom on young guys 204 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: no matter what position they played. I thought that was 205 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: just incredible to hear win he wants to win, and 206 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: he knows if he supplies them with that knowledge that 207 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: the team get better. And you know, there's there's a 208 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: lot of guys that have been like that. Don't always 209 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: hear the stories, but you know, Danielle Manning was was 210 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: was that way too, Owen Daniels when they were around 211 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: a lot of guys Andre Johnson. So it's been cool 212 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: to hear and been cool to see. And it's been 213 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: fun for the last decade. I mean, he he basically 214 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: aside from twenty ten, he was on the Texas defense 215 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: the entire decade and it was it was a fun 216 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: ride because before he got here, oh god, season before 217 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: he got here was the worst. They were the worst 218 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: past defense in the NFL. They were thirty second. They 219 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: were horrible. And he was part of a quintet that 220 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: had not been around in ten. It was him, Connor Borrowin, 221 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: Daniel Manning, Wade Phillips, and um oh gosh, I'm forgetting 222 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: somebody else, the kid from Wisconsin. Yeah, Jja. Those five 223 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,599 Speaker 1: faces in large part helped change everything, you know for 224 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: that defensive twenty eleven. And you know, it's also had 225 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: Cushing playing like an MVP dmko Ryan's back, so so 226 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: many good things came, but he was one of the 227 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: He was the Marquet name to come through the door 228 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: in free agency once the lockout ended in July. You know, 229 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: he's an influential person, not even just in this locker room. 230 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: This year, I was at the Pro Bowl up in Orlando, 231 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: and I may put the story back out there for 232 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: people that may that may have missed it the first 233 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: time around, But Stefan Gilmore Defensive Player of the Year. 234 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: He grew up in rock Hill, South Carolina, with Jonathan Joseph, 235 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: with Jadevian Clowne, and I just you know, I was 236 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: asking him about Deshaun wattson some of the offensive players 237 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: that he faces, but when I got to JJO, he 238 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: lit up and he said, oh, j Joe's my guy. 239 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: Like that. He said, that's why he started playing the 240 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: position was because of his conversations with Jonathan Joseph, which 241 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: I thought was fascinating because you know, he's playing at 242 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: such a high level and Jjo's here towards the end 243 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: of his career, but you know the fact that he 244 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: has he still calls on JJO and asks his advice. 245 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: They still keep in touch very much. So I think 246 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: he's had an influence on all. I think when he 247 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: does retire, when that day does come, we're gonna hear 248 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: more and more of these stories from especially from names 249 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: that we didn't even expect to hear it from. Here's 250 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: here's the other thing to consider. They mutually agree that 251 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: he's going to go into free agency. This doesn't mean 252 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: that he is absolutely without a doubt. Death and taxes 253 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: are the only things that are assured in life. Gone 254 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: from the Texans playing. I mean, if there's some injuries 255 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: at some point and he's still out there, there's a 256 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: there's a chance he could come back. That's a great point. 257 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it'll happen, but having a guy like that, 258 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I think about Mike Adams, and Mike Adams 259 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: is somebody McClain and John McClain and I were talking 260 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: about over at our studios and Sports Radio six ten. 261 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: We're talking about Mike. You know, Mike Adams is a 262 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: guy that was on the street, didn't know he's gonna 263 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: have a job. His kids are like, Daddy, you're gonna 264 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: go do football. Um, And he finally did. He did 265 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: it here and it was great to have Mike Adams 266 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: for that for that season. And maybe that happens with Jjo. 267 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: Maybe nothing happens right away, and maybe he's thinking, well, 268 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: maybe it's time and then hey, some injuries happened here, 269 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: a guy moves there, Uh something somebody can suspend. Who knows, 270 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: maybe there's an opportunity. So uh, it's you never say never, 271 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: not in this league. But I do think at some 272 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: point I hope we all at least get the chance 273 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: to be able to, you know, shake his hand and 274 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: say thanks for everything, because he he was the best 275 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: free agent signing this organization's ever had. Yes, true, Yeah, 276 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: for sure, Yeah, absolutely. The only one that would come 277 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: close would be Antonio Smith. Yeah, Ninja's up there. But 278 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: but Jjo signed multiple contracts too, contract extensions. We were 279 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: just talking about that the last time, Like, how many 280 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: cornerbacks do you know have played out as many contracts 281 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph? Not many, not many at all. So that 282 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: is your big item for today. Jonathan Joseph and the 283 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: Texans have mutually agreed that J Joe will move on 284 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: into free agency and if he has, he indeed played 285 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: his last game for the Texans. Bravo, mate, bravo. He 286 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: was absolutely phenomenal in so many different ways, not just 287 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: on the field, off the field. With everybody, there is 288 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: nobody that you're gonna find anywhere that has got a 289 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: cross word to say about Jonathan Joseph and seeing Jonathan 290 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: Joseph and Creen Jackson together all those years in the 291 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: locker room. I mean, I would just be a site 292 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: where we saw twenty four, he saw twenty five and 293 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: vice versas. So that was a that was a good 294 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: run for those guys, and Cream's doing good things in Denver. 295 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with Jonathan Joseph now, using Jonathan 296 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: Joseph as our inspiration. Coming up next, it's our Wednesday 297 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: Night Draft, and I want you to think about twenty eleven, 298 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: not just that year, but every year after. Talk about 299 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: what that's gonna be on our Wednesdy Night Draft. Next 300 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: on Texans Access. Welcome back to a Wednesday edition. Wednesday Wednesday, Wednesday, 301 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: Wednesday Night Draft. It's that time Texans Radio Studio. John 302 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: Dpe drew a poor one out from Mark because he 303 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: is somewhere not here, but I know he would have 304 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: washing his hands and singing, singing Bohemian Rhapsody. Oh, you're 305 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: right about that right up until you're right about that now. 306 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: Using I don't know what he's doing, Jay Joe is 307 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: our inspiration. What Drew thinks he's in Russia doing some acting. 308 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: I think that's where we had come up with last time. 309 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: But either way, Russia, what's the Nights draft and Stranger 310 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: Thing season four? That's right the the statement has put 311 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: out by the Texans today. Jonathan Joseph and the Texans 312 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: mutually agreed that Jjoe would move on at the free agency, 313 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: and it got me thinking about what would be a 314 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: good Wednesday draft because one of them we did a 315 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: couple weeks ago, which Deep alluded to in the first segment, 316 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: and that was your favorite your face. We were Texan 317 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: that didn't that wasn't drafted by the Texans, and so 318 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: Jjo was our very first pick. So I thought, you 319 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: know what more of news about Jjo? Okay, I used 320 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: that one before, I can't use that one again. And 321 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, while Jjo was here, and Drew 322 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: alluded to this. From twenty eleven moving forward, this defense 323 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: has been one of the better ones in the league. 324 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: Twenty eleven defense was absolutely phenomenal. Twenty sixteen defense was 325 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:30,239 Speaker 1: just incredible. There have been some really really good defenses 326 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: over that time since Jjo got here in twenty eleven. 327 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: Now he wasn't the only one, as Drew said to 328 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: come to twenty eleven, Daniel Manning, JJ Watt, Connor Barwin 329 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: came back healthy. Wait Phillips took over his defense coordinator, 330 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: but Jonathan Joseph signed and he made plenty of plays 331 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: on the field, creating a lot of moments throughout those years. 332 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: So I thought this could be a good Wednesday Night 333 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: draft and it is our favorite defensive moments from twenty eleven, 334 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: from the time Jonathan Joseph got here, addition a few 335 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: other guys through the twenty nineteen season. Your favorite defensive moments. 336 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be j Joe. It doesn't have 337 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: to be, but over that time frame, I guarantee you 338 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna at least have one or two favorite JJO 339 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: moments twenty eleven through twenty nineteen. These are not all 340 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: JO defense. Don't all have to be JJO defensive. Okay, 341 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: they can be whatever thing. They're your personal moment. Mine 342 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: might I'll be all JJO because that's it's just my 343 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: mind going there today. Yeah, So it can be anything, 344 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: all right, you want to go first, you want to 345 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: go last, you need a second, Well I'll just go 346 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: first because I'll I'll keep it j Jo. Since we're 347 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: on that, all right, he goes first, Yeah, your favorite 348 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: defensive moment twenty eleven through twenty nineteen in the era 349 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: of JJO, in the era of Jjo. Yeah, dB go 350 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: all right. Well, I mean I thought, and this is 351 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: my bad for not following instructions. I thought it was 352 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: favorite JJO moments, but this is up there. I think 353 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: the defensive performance against the Patriots on Sunday Night football, 354 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 1: winning finally against Tom Brady and the Patriots under Bill 355 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: O'Brien was probably one of my favorites. I picked it 356 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: for J Joe because in that game he had two 357 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: passes defense, four tackles. He passed Ronde Barber for the 358 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: most career games with multiple passes defense in NFL history, 359 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: So he made NFL history. And then at the same time, 360 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: earlier in the week, he had talked about how he 361 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: had never beaten Tom Brady and the Patriots and how 362 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of players downplay like, well, it's 363 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: just another game. We gotta win every game. But he said, 364 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: we've been so close. He said, we've been close close clothes, 365 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: we've never gotten it done. He's like, I don't want 366 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: any moral victories. I want to win this game, so 367 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: I knew it meant a lot to him. And then 368 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: he tells a story about how the first time he 369 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: faced Brady with the Bengals, he was preparing to blitz him. Actually, 370 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: I think I have the story. It is, oh yeah, 371 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: all day, twenty two is coming, twenty two is coming, 372 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: and I thought I was doing everything in disguise to 373 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: show that I wasn't coming. And in my head, I 374 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: knew I was coming. So I was all over the players, 375 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: what's going on here? But you know, over time I 376 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: kind of understood and you know, put the time in 377 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: and I can see exactly from a defensive standpoint what 378 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: he sees from a quarterback standpoint one, guys are tipping 379 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: things and telling things. That's just one of those things. 380 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: It just always stuck with me. Yeah, So basically Tom 381 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: Brady was calling out uh Jjo, running running towards him, saying, 382 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: you know, twenty two's coming, twenty two's coming, he said, 383 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: I just it just messed him up because he said, yeah, 384 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: I knew I was coming, but how did he know 385 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: where I was coming? So, you know, he had so 386 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: much respect for Tom Brady, but the fact that he 387 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: got to win over him probably one of my favorite. Yeah, 388 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: that's truly that whole, that entire game, because I know 389 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: Robie had the pick in that game, so every part 390 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: of that. Can you get the whole game. I'm just 391 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: gonna take the whole game, the whole game. I'm gonna 392 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: be like Drew, you could take everything. Yeah, I take 393 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: all nine years everything. I feel like I left the 394 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: really big defensive moment in the era of Jjo on 395 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: the table. So you're welcome. That's my Christmas gift to you. 396 00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: All right, Drew, go, all right, favorite, I'm going with 397 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: the pick six twenty eighteen against the Bills because Texans 398 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: are two and three. The two wins had just come 399 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: after starting oh and three, and they both had made 400 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: you go to overtime. So now you got the Bills 401 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: in there with two with a rookie quarterback who you 402 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: knock out of the game, and then really a guy 403 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: who probably shouldn't have been playing quarterback in Nathan Peterman, 404 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: and you'd already picked him off one roll. No, no, 405 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: you didn't pick them off once. You would wind up 406 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: picking them off twice. But it's thirteen thirteen. They got 407 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: the ball and there's a minute thirty left, and you 408 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: sort of had a sinking feeling around those times because 409 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: just of what you'd seen in the first month of 410 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: the year, what does Jjo do? Picks off the pass? 411 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: But what was special about it for me is I 412 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: was down in that Southwest Tunnel and I'd been there 413 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 1: with about five minutes to go, So the Texans were 414 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: trailing when I got down there, and I was watching 415 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: it and just checking things out because I was like 416 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: my spot, the lucky spot, and whenever I went down there, 417 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,239 Speaker 1: the Texans would always come back and win, and they 418 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: did it that day. And he ran right in front 419 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: of me right through the end zone when he scored, 420 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: and I was just going bananas, and I was just 421 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: so happy and so relieved because there was the sense 422 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: of relief was almost as great as the sense of 423 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: happiness because you were looking at going two and four 424 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: instead you're three and three, and you know, they just 425 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: kept winning and they would ultimately peel off nine wins 426 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: total in that that wind streak. But that was a 427 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: fun one and John and I we detailed it in 428 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: a film room last year. You even served me on 429 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: the All twenty two the high end zone spot. You 430 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: can see me flailing around and going crazy. That was 431 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: a fun one. Crew. There's a lot of great moments 432 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: from this era that you're talking about, defensively for the Texans, 433 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with that one since it pertains 434 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: to j Joe and since it just just this the 435 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: overwhelming sense of relief. So yeah, I'm gonna go with that. Okay, 436 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: it's a good one, Drew. I liked that one, all right, 437 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: I am going to go I feel like since both 438 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: of you guys went with a j Joe moment to 439 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: start off with, I feel like I probably should go 440 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: with a Jjoe moment. Probably should, But yeah, I'm gonna 441 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: go to Jjoe moment twenty fifteen to start. Doesn't have 442 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: to be Jjoe. Keep that in mind. I'm gonna go 443 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: to Jjoe moment to start twenty fifteen. At Indianapolis, Brandon 444 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: Weedon just hit Jalen strong, Arlill return er out to 445 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: the flat and Jalen scores the Colts Killer Texas take 446 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: a thirteen to nothing lead, and I remember Mark saying, 447 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: can they hold this lead? They've never I mean, they've 448 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: never been in that position in Indianapolis. They've never won 449 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, And I just remember during breaks, Mark and 450 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: I mean Mark almost didn't even speak. I think it 451 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: was hyperventilating during a break, like could they get this done? 452 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: Could they get this done? So they score to make 453 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: a thirteen ten and a few plays after I think 454 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: it was a I think it was maybe the second 455 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: down play after the Texans that you know they had 456 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: taken that lead at thirteen to ten. The Colts to 457 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: the ball with about three minutes and some change left, 458 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: and that Hasselback went back to throw and he flipped 459 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: one out to Griff Whalen, and Whalen turned a corner 460 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: and he got drilled by Jjo, just got absolutely hammered. 461 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: The ball fell on the turf. And I remember about 462 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: that was the crowd. When Whalen catches the ball, you 463 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: can hear the crowd start to cheer. And then when 464 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: Jjo hits him, the balls on the turf and it 465 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: just goes silent. The place went completely silent. Kareem picked 466 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: it up, ran it back. He didn't get it in 467 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: the end zone, but he got it far enough down 468 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: the Texas were able to kick a field goal and 469 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: take a sixteen and ten lead, and then they sealed 470 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: it with a j Boye interception a little while later, 471 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: But that hit from Jjo, because we always remember remembers picks, 472 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: I mean, Drew talking about his pick six. You had 473 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: pick sixes against Cleveland on Nut all the different ideas 474 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: that you might have had about Jjo. He had the 475 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: pick sixes against Cleveland and twenty seventeen, but that hit 476 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: put his helmet right on the ball, ball popped out 477 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: in such a huge moment. So my first moment is 478 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: going to be twenty fifteen against Indianapolis, Jjo's forced fumble 479 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: that helped put the Texans in the lead to keep 480 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: the lead in their first win at Indianapolis. That's mine 481 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: number one. Deepe, your next Okay, Well, I feel like 482 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,719 Speaker 1: if we're talking best defensive games or plays or moments, 483 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like we've got to go. JJ 484 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: Watt twenty eleven, first playoff win in franchise history against 485 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: the Bengals, Jjo's former team. That was his first season 486 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: here with the Texans. But I feel like that game iconic, 487 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: one of the best. I mean, that picture of JJ 488 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: running into the end zone after after the pick six 489 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: is I mean, that's pretty much everyone's favorite picture. Yeah, 490 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: favorite moment or if not one of their top three, 491 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: I would have to say, yeah, So I'm gonna put 492 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: that one out there. I remember JJ Watt saying the 493 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: next day he went to Galveston. It was the next 494 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: day or a few days later he went to Galveston. 495 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: Maybe it was after the season, because I don't see 496 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: them going to Galveston like after a game like that, 497 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: because you're so prepping. But at some point, very close 498 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: to that, he went to Galveston. He said, people started 499 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: recognizing him and that's when he realized, like people now 500 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: know who he is. That season, I was not working 501 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: for the Texans. I came to a game and a 502 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: friend of mine had sideline passes that he wasn't using. 503 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: So I took myself and my son on the sidelines 504 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: and everyone was clamoring to get Mario Williams autography. And 505 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: over here off to the side is just JJ Watt 506 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: talking to this this nice little old couple. Yea, And 507 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: I told my son, I said, hey, that's that's a 508 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: Texans first round draft pick. Do you want his autograph? 509 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: He said, Okay, sure, we go over there. Turns out 510 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: they were JJ's neighbors invited to the game and JJ 511 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: signed my son's hat and nobody was not a single 512 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: person around him. We still have that hat, which my 513 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: son almost left at the game, kid like you, and 514 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: I even joked I said that might be worth something someday. 515 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: So that it was probably the last time at JJ, 516 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: last time he had never had an him or had 517 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: nobody wanting to come watch him at the games. Right. 518 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: It was really interesting because yeah, that happened. And then 519 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: later that offseason there was an event, Uh, the Texans 520 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: were kind of co hosting this Kid's triathlon over at 521 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: you and it's since been brought over here on the grounds, 522 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: but it was at U of H that year, and 523 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: he just showed up. Like normally the Texans will have 524 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: players and they're there and it's scheduled for them. He 525 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: just showed up because he was bored. It was the 526 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: off season, and he was like, well, let's go hang around. 527 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: He hadn't become that big yet because he had the 528 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: twelve season in which he erupted, but it had started 529 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: there in December, you know, mid December he started really 530 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: just balling out and playing the way we kind of 531 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: know him as today. Yeah, but he it's like he said, 532 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: he still wasn't what had not reached the pinnacle yet, 533 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: and he was just kind of hanging out. Yeah where 534 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: he was starting to go off on a tangent there. 535 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: That's all right, but it's just building up what deep 536 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: he did deep second pick the WAT pick six, Okay, 537 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: second round, drew your second rounder. I'm gonna keep rolling 538 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: with JJ and you could do this. You could do 539 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: the whole list JJ if you wanted, but good, I'm 540 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: gonna go with recency and the sack against the Bills 541 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. That the spark that lit it all. 542 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: You know, he came and got Josh Allen and really 543 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: got the fans back into it, got the momentum back 544 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: into it. And that was a fun one and I 545 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: just remember loving that day. That was a fun, fun 546 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: game to be at. I think it's the best Texans 547 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: game I've ever been to. Boy, it was stressful, Yeah, 548 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: it was stressful. I don't know that I've been more stressed. 549 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: I don't know I've bit more stressed in the game 550 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: that was. But I think we went through every emotion 551 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: possible in that game. Anger, anger, denial, happiness. I was shocked. 552 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: I was at acceptance when things started. The what are 553 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: the stages of grief. I think we went through those 554 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: two and a half quarters. I was like, it is 555 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: what it is. I'll, you know, we'll we'll try to 556 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: get next year. My weekends will open up. I'll have 557 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: a little time to rest. I mean, I'm trying to 558 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: pump myself up for what I think is like an 559 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: inevitable inevitable. And then it just and then it turned 560 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: around and changed, Yeah, okay, I'm gonna go back to 561 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: Indy for months picked Jjo's force fumble at twenty fifteen. 562 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: With the following year the Texans went back and they 563 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: had In twenty sixteen, they went to go play Andrew Luck. 564 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: This time in fifteen it was Hasselbeck. In sixteen it 565 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: was Andrew Luck, and the Texans had just come off 566 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: a losing street. They were six and three after when 567 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: at Jacksonville, went to Mexico City, lost, went to play 568 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: the Chargers, Chargers right to that, lost, went to Green Bay, 569 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: played okay for a while lost. So now they're sitting 570 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: at six and six and getting ready to face Inneapolis 571 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: Colts with Luck, and I believe the Colts at the 572 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: time are six and six as well. The Texans really 573 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,479 Speaker 1: dominated physically that game just ran and ran and ran 574 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: and ran ran. But because it's Andrew Luck, he got 575 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: them back in the game. And the Texans were up 576 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: sixteen ten, and Luck had gotten the Colts down inside 577 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: the five, and I just remember thinking, Okay, look, it's fine, 578 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: it's touchdown, makes a seventeen sixteen. We'll be okay, we'll 579 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: be all right. Well, we'll survive this somehow, because I 580 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: just resign myself to the fact that Luck will find 581 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: a way to get this ball into the end zone. 582 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: And the Colts decided to block j Deveon Clowney with 583 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: Dwayne Allen and Clowney comes off the edge. He takes 584 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: Allan and just and he's also a Clemson Tiger, which 585 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: j Deveon Clowney I think love more than anything else 586 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: because I talked to him after the game. He's our 587 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: player the game, and it was the first time I 588 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: had really had a chance to talk to Clowney after 589 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: a game, and I asked him that that was the 590 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: thing he was most happy about. And he turns Dwayne 591 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: Allen but just inside out and then jumps on Andrew 592 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: Luck knocks the ball out of his hand. It goes 593 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: down in the ground looks like Colts can fall out. 594 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: Whitney dives, moves the ball out of the way, then 595 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: falls on it. They would not score the Colts, wouldn't 596 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: The Texans will gonna kick a field goal, go up 597 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: nineteen ten end up winning that game, and they did it. 598 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: I think it was twenty two sixteen. They did in 599 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: large part because of that Clowney play. So mine is 600 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: going to be twenty sixteen. Did Devon Clowney strip sacked 601 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: down on the goal line? Play of the year. It's 602 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: a play of the year that year. Yeah, that was good. 603 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: That was one of my favorites. I'm gonna go the 604 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: same season, Okay, twenty sixteen, or actually it'll be it'll 605 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: be the end of twenty fifteen. Let's let's do that one. 606 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: End of twenty fifteen. The thirty to six win over Jacksonville. Oh, 607 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: that's the one that officially clinched the AFC South for 608 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,479 Speaker 1: the Texans. Week seventeen, week seven weeks uh JJ had 609 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: a monster game. He had like three sacks, eight tackles, 610 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: forced fumble, fumble recovery in that game. So I think 611 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: anytime we beat in an ANFC self, I feel like 612 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: I could pick Indie for a lot of these games. 613 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: But I like some of these Jacksonville games because I 614 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: feel like those Well, in that Jacksonville game, Whitney had 615 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: three sacks too, didn't they both have like three naves? 616 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: Whitney had one in that. Was it that game or 617 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: was it the earlier one that I think it was 618 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen Tennessee. Ye, well, the one against Tennessee. 619 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: He was phenomenal. But I want to say in that 620 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: game in twenty fifteen, Clowney was hurt and Whitney and 621 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: Whitney and JJ just sacked everything that was That was earlier, right, 622 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: because by the end of the season Clowney was back. No, 623 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that game because you remember 624 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: and it going into the playoff game, the playoff game, 625 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: remember Clowne and locker room. Clowney was not active for 626 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: the playoff, right, because he had been banged up, and 627 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: I don't remember where it was when it when he 628 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: was sort of spotty that season. Yeah, that was the 629 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen year. Um he was. He was kind of 630 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: in and out. And that's when Whitney just when he's 631 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: had some monster games against the Jaguars in recent years. Yeah, 632 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: he's pretty dark good. He's pretty good. That defensive performance 633 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: in that fifteen game, I mean the sixteen one against 634 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: Jacksonville could have been the exact same thing, could have 635 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: been the exact same thing, because in sixteen I was 636 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: absolutely a thousand percent convinced that Jacksonville could have played 637 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: for eight quarters and not gone more than one hundred 638 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: fifty yards to total offense that day. Yeah, it was 639 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: the most dominant and they and the thing wasn't it 640 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: was twenty one twenty, but it was all because Brock 641 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: through three interceptions and they took a kickoff return to 642 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: the house is the only way they scored. But in 643 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, twenty eighteen, they could have played for two 644 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: and a half games that day and it would have mattered. 645 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: They would have got over two totally yards. So that's 646 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: a good one. DP. That is Round three Drew. Your 647 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: Round three pick is Coast to Coast Pick six, twenty 648 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: eighteen at Washington justin ree. Oh. Yeah, that's a great 649 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: one going the whole way. I love that one. That 650 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: was a huge play that wound up being a really 651 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: close game, but that was the play of the game, 652 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: Probably defensive player of the year that season in twenty eighteen, 653 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,959 Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, I'm gonna go with that. Okay, all right. 654 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: Pick six. I had Justin Reid on on my list 655 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: watch this. I'm gonna pull a Drew Deep. I had 656 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: Justin Reed two point play stop. I had that one. 657 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: I was considering considering that. Uh but I didn't pick that. 658 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: I picked this one my final one. In fact, it 659 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: really didn't pop in my head. I was thinking about 660 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: twenty eight because I was thinking about that. I was 661 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: thinking about Justin Reid's pick. I was thinking about j 662 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: Joe and the picks he had against Cleveland twenty seventeen. 663 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: He took that one that that went to the house. 664 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: I was considering the Buffalo one pick that one. But 665 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,719 Speaker 1: the one I'm gonna go with is also from twenty eighteen, 666 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: and it happened on the Monday night against the Tennessee Titans. 667 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: And it's the play right before Lamar Miller stop. Pretty 668 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: good one, yeah, Zach Cuttingham, and you could actually make it. 669 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: You could go double dip that year Zach Cuttingham fourth 670 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: and one stops, actually the third and one against Dallas. 671 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: Could go with that one because he gets the third 672 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: one stop forces the punt. Texans then hit Spinnerama to Hopkins, 673 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, hop spins to kick fuel to beat Dallas. 674 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: But I felt like Monday night, that game on Monday 675 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: Night we all remember as the first game after Bob 676 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: McNair had passed. It was a Monday night, it was 677 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: against the team that had formerly been in Houston, and 678 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: all these connections to the Titans for that particular weekend. 679 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: I just remember the moment of silence before the game, 680 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: and there's a picture to Sean that's in our board 681 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: room from that moment, and it's just like I want that. 682 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: I want that picture, like that's the it's the most 683 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: beautiful picture. Lighting, The lighting was just perfect. It was 684 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: everything was awesome about it. And then the game starts 685 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: and the Texans are down. Immediately immediately they hit a 686 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: sixty one yard passed. Nobody's covering a guy in the 687 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: tight end on the middle, like, what are we doing guys? 688 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: Teryror Lujan's away talking trashed our fans, and all of 689 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: sudden we start. We just go boom boom to Marius 690 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: Thomas has touchdown to a touchdown and now we're fourteen ten. 691 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: But now they got the ball inside the five yard line, 692 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: and it's fourth and one and they run Luke Stocker 693 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: on a little full back dive. He's playing tight end 694 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 1: and Zach cutting him. Yeahs backup tight end. Yeah, let's 695 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: put our backup tight end and full back and give 696 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: him a dive play and Zach cutting Haim h it's 697 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 1: in first. Roger McKinney hit him second and stuffed him 698 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: at the three. And why the reason drew your pick 699 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: right before? That kind of triggered a thought about this 700 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: was that when they when we stopped them when it 701 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: was fourth and one, I remember thinking, man, this would 702 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: be a really cool time for another Justin Red pick six, 703 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: and I'm kind of laughing to myself, and then it 704 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: kind of turned into that because they stopped him in 705 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: the next play, la Bar went the other direction, so 706 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 1: it wasn't quite a pick six. It wasn't in one play, 707 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: but it was in two plays. So my third and 708 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: final pick uh in the third round is twenty eighteen 709 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, Zach Cuttingham and Roger McKinney stopping Luke 710 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: Stocker short of a first down. The Texans Lamar Miller 711 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: would go ninety seven yards in the very next play. 712 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: Great job guys really appreciate it. And Drew, we're gonna 713 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: use you in this following segment because DeAndre Carter, the 714 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: recently signed DeAndre Carter joined Drew back in December. Talk 715 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: about a cause that is near and dear to both 716 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: of their hearts. Let's celebrate DeAndre Carter next right here 717 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: in Texans All Axis.

I think it's gonna be one of 721 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 1: those that you'll remember where you were when. I've never 722 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: seen the Rodeo shutdown. It's shut down due to the 723 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: fears of coronavirus. Nc DOABLA tournament. Never watched the game 724 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: with NOO fans in the stands. If the NCDABLAI tournament 725 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: does go on as scheduled, not gonna have any fans 726 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: in the stands. That was decided today. It's also decided 727 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: between Jonathan Joseph and Houston Texans that Jonathan will be 728 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,479 Speaker 1: allowed into free agency and so the nine year career 729 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: he had with the Texans seemingly over. Boy, that was 730 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,479 Speaker 1: a tough pill. To swallow. If there was good news 731 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: to come out today. It came out of the news 732 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: that DeAndre Carter resigning with the Texans.

Yeah. You know 755 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the country, a lot of 756 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,280 Speaker 1: people worldwide have diabetes. Most of those people have type 757 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: two diabetes. And folks like you and actually folks like 758 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 1: me too. Yeah, we are type one diabetics exactly, which 759 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 1: means we need insulin to help control things. So it's 760 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: a little bit, uh, a little bit smaller, well a 761 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: lot smaller segment of the diabetes population. And not many 762 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: NFL players have this, have this this disease. I mean, 763 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 1: I know there have been a couple that have come 764 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: through the Texans. Jake Cutler is the most as NFL 765 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: player that comes to mind. Patrick Peterson has it as well. 766 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, see, I did not know that. But there's 767 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: not many that have this. What's it like playing NFL 768 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: football with diabetes? It's once you get you know, I've 769 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: had it, you know for a while, so I got 770 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: a pretty good control over it. But it's just an 771 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: added responsibility that you gotta make sure you stay on 772 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,800 Speaker 1: top of checking in blood sugar throughout the game, halftime, 773 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: in between quarters and things like that, making sure bus 774 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: sugar is not too high, not too low during the 775 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: game and things like that or practice. Uh, it's not 776 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: a it's not a big burden, just some extra that 777 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: you gotta make sure you stay on top of. And 778 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,879 Speaker 1: that's kind of one of the keys here. It's it 779 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,760 Speaker 1: was once a terrible fit. It's it's a bad illness, 780 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: but it was once just debilitating for a lot of people. 781 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: But you're an example of somebody that's thriving with it exactly. 782 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: It's definitely you know, just making sure people know that 783 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,479 Speaker 1: you can still do whatever it is that your your goals, 784 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: your dream your aspirations are even if you have this diagnosis. 785 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: As you can see, I'm still able to go out 786 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: and do my job at a high level. Um. But 787 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: it's not it's not like you said, it's not something 788 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: that's stabilitating that you that you just can't do anything. Uh. 789 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: Very once you get control over and get a good 790 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 1: manage on it, then uh, it's pretty easy to go 791 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: out and do live life as a regular person, no doubt. 792 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: Now you're in your mid twenties. You got diagnosed though, 793 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: right before your freshman year high school. What what what happened? 794 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,919 Speaker 1: What was the change? Right? Changes? Yeah, so I'm right before, 795 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 1: like I said, before my freshman year. We're actually in 796 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: like football summer workouts and things like that. But I 797 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: started like losing a lot of weight really fast. I 798 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: got down there, what seventy six pounds, I think it 799 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: was from probably one I was one fifty then a 800 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: little lighter, but I lost a lot of a lot 801 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: of weight, Um, going to the bathroom. You know you're 802 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: naming a lot. I was sleeping a lot, like, way 803 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 1: more than normal au throughout the day sleeping, I was 804 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: probably maybe eighteen hours out of the day. This is 805 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 1: a span of about like a month or two. Yeah. Yeah. 806 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: And it was all going crazy. Um. And then one 807 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 1: one day football practice, I couldn't make it through practice. 808 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: So my coach shent me home. Uh. I told my 809 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: dad I wasn't feeling well and everything like that, and 810 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: I went home started throwing up crazy everything. Uh. So 811 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 1: my dad took me to the hospital. Um, and then 812 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: they ran the test and everything, and they told me 813 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: I had type one diabetes and it was type two 814 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: runs in my family, right, um, so I was familiar 815 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: with it, but the insulent part of it was new 816 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: to me. Um, which you know, I'm insulin dependent, so 817 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,399 Speaker 1: uh took a took a little bit of a time 818 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: to get adjusted to it and everything. But once I 819 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: got used to it wasn't too bad. So what's that mean? 820 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: You're insulin dependent? But does that mean are you giving 821 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: yourself shots? You know, are you on an insulent pump? There? 822 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: They're different ways to do it. So what's that mean 823 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: for you on a daily basis? Yeah, so there's there's 824 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 1: different ways to do it. Now they got pumps. I'm 825 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: kind of old school. I liked to use the syringe 826 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: and the you know, the needle and everything because I 827 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: feel like I got a little bit more of my 828 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 1: own control over it. Right Um. But I have dexk 829 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: comms like a continuous gluecoast monitor which tells me my 830 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 1: blood sugar all throughout the day and everything. So if 831 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: you're too high, too high, I gotta give yourself to 832 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: get myself some orange skatade, candy, anything to get it up. 833 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's kind of something's kind of nice. Yeah, you 834 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 1: get a little treat there, you got you gotta be 835 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: a good you gotta be a good boy, you know, 836 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: like the rest of the time. But the rest of 837 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: the time, you know, trying to keep your carbon take 838 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: sugar down, but you can get get those loads, get 839 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: a little a little snack and in some ways it's 840 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 1: probably helpful that you work for the Texans and work 841 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: for an NFL team because of the medical staff that's 842 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: on hand to support you out.

I mean it's typically kids get diagnosed, 849 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 1: but you're seeing older people now get diagnosed with two. 850 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: You're you're active in the community, but we always see 851 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: you doing stuff, you know, on Tuesdays, going to hospitals 852 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: or whatever.
