Bryan Barryfield 93 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: playing um, playing for a guy like Anthony Weaver, someone 94 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: who has played the game, and it is being in 95 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: your locker room for a minute.

Uh, And nothing changes, 99 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: you know, just because he's the DC. You know, he 100 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: still has control over the defensive line. He has more 101 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: control over the defense.

And then 116 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: with this year being you know, president, you don't really 117 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: know what's going on, so it's a tough year for 118 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: all rookies and especially undrafted.

Just to reset 142 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: Sean Pendergast alongside Seth Payne, who was the ultimate multitasker 143 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: in that segment. Seth, you in the middle of a 144 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: segment that you are on the radio to do a 145 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: press conference drops and you jump on another zoom call 146 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: to go ask Brandon Done a question. You know, you know, 147 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: multi multitasking isn't my forte either. That was very stressful 148 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, are you okay? Yeah? I actually, and 149 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: I had to press my unmute button. I look. I 150 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: like Brandon Done a lot, and I can remember for 151 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: the first time I saw him and met him a 152 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: few years ago. That's the kind of kid like you. 153 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: You pull for kids like this. You see, it seems 154 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: like every year during training camp, when you're a player, 155 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: there will be a guy in your position group or 156 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: somebody else on the defense that you think has something 157 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: like you think there's something to him, and then for 158 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: whatever reason, the coaches don't see it, or there's just 159 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: too many numbers there, and sometimes those kids never get 160 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: another shot. So you really start pulling for him. And 161 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: I think Brandon done when he I think he started 162 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: off with the Bears. That's there's there's something to you 163 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: that either a coach or a scout or somebody has 164 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: to just recognize something to to see that little glimmer. 165 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: And then so Brandon done. Ultimately, you know this year 166 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: gets or last year i gotta what three year, twelve 167 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: million dollars year, all after nobody saw fit to draft 168 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: him in the in the seven rounds of the NFL draft. Yeah, 169 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: it's it's good stuff and so well that that'll be. 170 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: And he's looked good the first couple of days of practice, 171 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: and that's what we're here to do, is share with 172 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: you thoughts on what's gone on so far. Now, to 173 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: be clear, there are only a few folks allowed in 174 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: the bubble to practice, and unfortunate enough to be one 175 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: of them, there's ten media members in there, so I've 176 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: got several observation sets from the first couple of days. 177 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: I think maybe what we do is we match up 178 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: my observations with your opinion on how important these things 179 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: aren't just with the eyeball test of the the other 180 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of these guys that you've 181 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: already seen and share, you know, share some knowledge with 182 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: the folks today. But to me, the big theme of 183 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: the training camp so far is just how different it is. 184 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: It's it's different in every way. It's just it's it's 185 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: different as a media member, it's different as the players. 186 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: Their makeshift not even lockers, they're not even cubbyholes. They're 187 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: like personal spaces that they've given each of the players 188 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: in the bubble where they literally have decals on the 189 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: wall about eight feet apart. And you come and you 190 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: drop your bag like your parents drop you off off 191 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: at the YMCA, so that you you don't have to 192 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: go back to the stadium you're having to go. The 193 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: fewer places you have to go to the you know, 194 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: the more minimizes the chance of spreading anything. There's that 195 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: there's they're swapping out footballs a lot more frequently now. 196 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: There's no big gatorade jugs. They're individual bottles of water 197 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: that they bring the players on the field. Yeah, that's 198 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: actually kind of nice. Yeah, yeah, you know what I 199 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: keep wondering when I saw you tweet that photo of 200 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: those makeshift lockers they have. I'm doing the air quotes, 201 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: so they're even they'll go after practice, they go just 202 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: kind of take care of their stuff and then they 203 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: go straight back to the hotel or go back home. 204 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: I think it varies from position group to position group, 205 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: but some of them stay in the bubble. To be clear, 206 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: we've been in the big bubble over there for the 207 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: two days of practice. They've they've been they've both been 208 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: padded practices with hitting, but not going to the ground. 209 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: You know, there's some popping of pads going on out there. 210 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: But O'Brien freaks out if anybody goes to the ground, 211 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: I mean freaks out if anybody goes to the ground. 212 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: And he talks about that in his press conference yesterday, 213 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: I believe, or this morning, he was talking about how, 214 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a challenge every year when you 215 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: start practicing and pads to be sure guys stay up, 216 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: especially with the rookies, and this year there haven't been 217 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: any OTAs or anything. That's when rookies usually kind of 218 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: learned practice tempo. There's different tempos of practice. You know, 219 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: there's full speed full tackle, which is very rare in 220 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: the NFL. There's three quarters speed, there's thud. There's all 221 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: these different tempos and you gotta be sure everybody's going 222 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: at the right tempo to be sure there are big 223 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: pile ups and sprained ankles and everything um and the 224 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: rookies haven't had any time to do that. So it's 225 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: you see rookies out of control and out of balance 226 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: sometimes and that's sort of coaches freak out. Because a 227 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: sprained ankle here or a torn a c all there 228 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: can ruin your December, just in early August, Zetha, I 229 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: will tell you how serious this is being taken. Is 230 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: it is? You know, we've got we be in the media, 231 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: We've we've got and I think everybody in the in 232 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: the bubble over there has a little connects on h 233 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: like almost like a little like a little plate. It's, 234 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: you know, but the size of a business card, and 235 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: it's it's like it's the size of the microchip. That's 236 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: someday the government will figure out a way to implant 237 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: in our skulls. That's exactly right, So this morning, everybody, 238 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 1: right now. But this is how it starts. Yeah, So 239 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: we take that and we put it inside a lanyard 240 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: and we wear that around our necks, and when we 241 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: are within six feet of somebody else in that bubble, 242 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: it flashes red and it's you know, and it flashed 243 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: red a few times yesterday for me becas I'm leaning 244 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: in you can't hear people. People have masks on, you 245 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: can't read lips, so you're leaning into talk. And I 246 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: wasn't the only one doing it. There were a lot 247 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: of people doing that. Well, what happens is afterwards we 248 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: give the little chips back. The NFL uploads all the 249 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: data from those chips and comes back with a report 250 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: that says, here's how well everybody did at social distancing. Well, 251 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: let me just say that we as the media, those 252 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: ten media members, the ten of us, we did not 253 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: do very well yesterday. So today at practice, there were 254 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: cones along the sidelines like every seven or eight feet, 255 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: and we each had to pick a cone and stand 256 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: over our cone for the whole practice. Yeah, I'll tell 257 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: you one thing. The first thing that strikes my mind 258 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: is feels like you, Shan, despite all these restrictions whatnot, 259 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: This feels like the golden age of farting. I mean, 260 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: six feet away from you, you eat whatever you want 261 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: for dinner. Right, You're You're clear to the next day. 262 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm a little angry that I turned away the refried 263 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: beans with my breakfast burrito this morning. Yeah, yea, just 264 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: explore the space, so to speak. Yeah, exactly. So it 265 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: is a training camp like no other. It's an historic 266 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: training camp, and we want to get you up to 267 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: speed on everything that's gone on the first two days 268 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: of practice. So so Seth and I will start to 269 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: dig into that. We've heard from Deshaun Watson and JJ 270 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: Watt in the last couple of days as well. They 271 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: had some interesting things to say. The one player who 272 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: might be one of the most pivotal ones for the 273 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: Texans this year, pretty good first two days for him 274 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: so far.

Texans Radio here on Sports Radio six ten, 368 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: presented by Exfinity Sean Pendergast alongside original Texan Seth Payne 369 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: with you on a Saturday where we have two practices 370 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: in the books and Seth. I came on yesterday in 371 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: the mid days and in the afternoons on Sports Radio 372 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: six ten, and I shared my very first pre eminent 373 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: thought about practice outside of all the COVID stuff, the 374 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: stuff that I saw on the field. And I was 375 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: pleased to see that several people whose opinion I respect, 376 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: who are also in the bubble lined up with me 377 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: on this, because, let's face it, this is a guy 378 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: that if you back him up at least this early 379 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: in his Texans career, can be a little polarizing because 380 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: of the trade that he was involved in. But I 381 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: may I tell you my friend that to this particular 382 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: radio hosts, I my eyeball test. David Johnson looks the 383 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: part who know. David Johnson looks the party looks smooth, 384 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: His jump cut looked good. He looks strong. He was 385 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: catching the ball out of the backfield. He was winning 386 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: one on one drills against linebackers. It was, it was, 387 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: I was. I'm not gonna say the Texans won the 388 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: trade or anything like that. I'm not gonna give him 389 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: an A plus as a final grade or anything. All 390 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: he's done is pass a pop quiz. But he did 391 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: pass the pop quiz, so you know, two days in. 392 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: I like the way he looks so far. I like 393 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: the way that you could build suspense there by saying 394 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: the guy who might draw scrutiny because of the trade 395 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: he was involved in. Yeah. Now, like I'm going through 396 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: all the various trades and there was only one trade. 397 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: Let's see you guy, let's go chronographically. Is it Larremy Tunsil, 398 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: is it David Johnson, is it Brandon Cooks? I don't know. 399 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: So yeah, Look he passes the eyeball test. The guy looks, 400 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: he looks like he's like he's made of brick. Right, 401 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: And I think that when you've watched in the last 402 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: couple of years, when you see him out in space, 403 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: I think he moves as fluidly and as athletically as 404 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: he ever has. The biggest question is can he play 405 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: as physically as he did back in twenty sixteen. He hasn't. 406 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: He hasn't done as good a job breaking tackles like 407 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: he did when he was one of the very best 408 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: running backs in the NFL back then. Um and I 409 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: and I wonder if maybe just having a little bit 410 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: of a chip on his shoulder, having something to prove, 411 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: just being in a new setting and frankly being with 412 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: I guess some sense of stability because he'd had three 413 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: different head coaches over the course of three years. That 414 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: that wears on a guy. You know that that where 415 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: three different offenses in three years. That wears on a 416 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: guy when you're trying to when you're trying to get 417 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: some sense of consistency. And that's what obviously Bill O'Brien 418 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: is open. Yeah, And I think you bring up the 419 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: three coaches in three years, and I think a lot 420 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: has been made of people who are want to be 421 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: optimistic about David Johnson. It's the last coach that I 422 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: think that that's where this that's the situation that draws 423 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: the most scrutiny, because by the end of last season, 424 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: he was a healthy scratch in some games, like he 425 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: was third string. He couldn't get on the field. Kenyon 426 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: Drake is a young guy they traded for in mid 427 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: season and he's on a transition tag right now. They 428 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: liked him so much so David Johnson couldn't get on 429 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: the field. His yards per carry had been down for 430 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: a few years now. And I guess, Seth, they're obviously 431 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: different players. But when I look at what when I 432 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: look at what Bill O'Brien in this offense was able 433 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: to squeeze out of Carlos Hide last year, I gotta 434 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: believe that if David Johnson is mentally ready to go, 435 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of stuff you're talking about 436 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: is more mental than physical, right the desire to break tackles, 437 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: the want to run between the tackles, all of those 438 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: things that if his head's in the right place, that 439 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien's certainly going to find a way to draw 440 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: a whole lot more than they drew out of Carlos 441 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: Hide last year. With David Johnson, especially when you add 442 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: in the pass catching element of it. Yeah, and I 443 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: don't know, you know, it's it's impossible to say whether 444 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: something like that is mental or physical. He has had 445 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: a bunch of nagging injuries, including a big one in 446 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, but then these last couple of years he's 447 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: been banged up. I mean, most running backs are banged up. 448 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: And I almost I almost hope it was physical and 449 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: not mental, because I don't I don't necessarily how you 450 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: go from being mentally unprepared to break tackles to all 451 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden, as you're you're one year older, to like, okay, 452 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: now I want to actually break tackles again. Yeah, well 453 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't pass the smell test 454 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,239 Speaker 1: for somebody who would get a big contract and then 455 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: all of a sudden shut things down. Either people. Yeah, 456 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: people really love him. You know. He talked to everybody 457 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: in Arizona and they just say he's a hell of 458 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: a guy. He just hasn't been able to put it 459 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 1: together the same way he used to. Now as a receiver, 460 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: he's still very electric, and I think that's that's what 461 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: everybody is and should be talking about is how is 462 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: he going to contribute to the passing game? And same 463 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: with Duke Johnson. Are we gonna see more of Duke 464 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: Johnson his receiver this year? As long as they can 465 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: run the ball credibly well, then yes, the passing game, 466 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: they're They're gonna put teams in a bind trying to 467 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: figure out whether we're gonna load up to stop the 468 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: run or load up to stop the Texans in the 469 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: pass game. And that's where I think also, you know 470 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson at times in the past, he's used the 471 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: running back as a safety valve um, you know, or 472 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: as the last resort. Sometimes he's even late to tump 473 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: it off to the running back. I think that's one 474 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 1: of the big steps they're hoping that he makes this year, 475 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: is really genuinely incorporating the running back into the passing 476 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: game as one of the options in his mind, that's 477 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: that's there and available. Yeah, and there's talk with David 478 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: Johnson and they did this. This did this with Duke 479 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: Johnson a little bit last year. But yeah, he's listed 480 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: as a running back, but putting him in the slot, 481 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: splitting him out wide, like David Johnson's got a different 482 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: set of skills when it comes to catching the football 483 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: and running routes and things like that. Yeah, yeah, he's 484 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: really just the screen game or the swing pass or 485 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,479 Speaker 1: out of the backfield and things like Yeah, you can 486 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: call it. You can call it designed plays for him. 487 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: And the other thing about him is and this this 488 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: he's kept on doing well. He's really good in pass protection. 489 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: And that's that's not something we typically talk about. Nobody 490 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: generally cares about it except for offensive coordinators and quarterbacks 491 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: because it matters a lot having a guy that can 492 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: pick up blitzes, having a guy that understands sometimes without 493 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: a check being called, you know, when responsibilities shift and change. 494 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,479 Speaker 1: David Johnson's really good at that. And if you look 495 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,239 Speaker 1: at the Texans offense, if they want to be like 496 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, or at least the New England 497 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: Patriots when Tom Brady was there, you want your quarterback 498 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: to be able to recognize and diagnose things in the 499 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: defense that allows you to go deep even when the 500 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: defense is blitzing. They don't they don't want to always 501 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: have to check down real quickly or go with a 502 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: quick route when the defense is blitzing, because the defense 503 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: can anticipate that. So if you have a smart running 504 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: back who's really good in pass protection, that helps DeShawn say, okay, look, 505 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: I see the blitz is coming from the right. We're 506 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: gonna take care of that blitzing safety. We're gonna slide 507 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: the line the other way, and then all of a sudden, 508 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: stuff really opens up downfield because the defense is blitzing 509 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: and they've got fewer eyes and coverage. That's where they 510 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: want to get to, and they've got they got. They 511 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: made progress in that last year. I think David Johnson 512 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: is one more piece in progressing towards that goal this year. 513 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: We know that Deshaun Watson's favorite target last year was 514 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: the player that went out from Houston in the trade 515 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: that brought David Johnson here, DeAndre Hopkins, one of the 516 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: best receivers in football. Hopkins. Watson said in an interview 517 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: that I did with him up here at the station 518 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: last year's that his favorite play was hot for six. 519 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: You know, Dad, downfield, hop for six was and a 520 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: go route, and a go route, especially a go route 521 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: is just straight down the sideline, just the vertical no 522 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: and just you're just it's a go You're going yep, yep, 523 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: go to hop for six and there's no Hopkins anymore. 524 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: So he was asked in his press conference yesterday, actually 525 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: asked by our Brandon Scott, our six ten Sports Radio 526 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: sixten dot com insider, was asked what his new favorite 527 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: play is now, Go Roust the fifteen, Go Roust to twelve, 528 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: Go rust at thirteen, crossing routes to eighteen sixteen. I 529 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: mean the boys that the Duke Boys, the Johnson Boys, 530 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: coming out the bat field, spreading the ball around, being 531 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: able to you know, find open man, take my game 532 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: to another level and just you know, spread the well. 533 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: And you know, not necessarily we didn't do that in 534 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: the previous years, but I mean, you have the number 535 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: one receiver in the NFL. You know he's gonna do 536 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: his prices, gonna get his targets, so you know, how 537 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: to make sure that you know, he's doing what he 538 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: needed to do. But now we have depth and we 539 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: have a lot of experience and a lot of veteran guys, 540 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: so you know, be able to spread around the guys, 541 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: are you know, going to do that part to you know, 542 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: be able to get touchdowns set the combination of hearing 543 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: Deshan talk about the offense, not just in that press conference, 544 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: but in the other He's had one or two other 545 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: meetings with the media. He's done a couple interviews since then, 546 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: podcast things like that, combined with just watching him out 547 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: of practice the last two days. I know there's a 548 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: lot of Texan fans who are still down about the 549 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: Hopkins trade, who are still bummed out DeAndre Hopkins isn't here. 550 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: I could tell you the quarterback of the Texans. It 551 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: reflects the one hundred and eighty degree opposite of that. 552 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he's happy Hopkins is gone. What 553 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: I am saying is he looks like somebody who's absolutely 554 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: embracing this new set of weapons and is ready for 555 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: the challenge. Yeah. And I think there's there's an inherent 556 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: risk sometimes with a guy like DeAndre who's always open 557 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: even when he's not open, that even when Deshaun was 558 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: extending plays, he I don't think he necessarily has he 559 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: he hasn't necessarily been as good as he could be, 560 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: even though he's really really good at extending plays. I 561 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: think that perhaps having a view of the entire field 562 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: more and everybody is an option is going to be 563 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: something that he gets even a little bit better. I 564 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: was also interested in hearing it was hard to keep up. 565 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he said when he's talking about the 566 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: go routes, was just those streaks down field, he said fifteen, thirteen, 567 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: and twelve, which would be Fuller, Cooks and Stills. Yes, 568 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: And then when he's talking about the crossing routes, he's 569 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: talking about eighteen and sixteen. That's Randall Cobb and Key 570 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: Key Qt. Yeah. It's it caught me off guard, Shawn, 571 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: because I don't have all these numbers in grained yet. 572 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: I haven't gotten Randall Cobbin, Brandon Cooks numbers slotted into 573 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: the brain. Yeah you still think Cecil Shorts is number eighteen. Yeah, yeah, 574 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: it resigned Cecil. This is great, Yeah, this is but 575 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: it's but it's nice because look, those two slot receivers 576 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: is who he's talking about in the crossing rout That's 577 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: another big thing that Deshaun hasn't typically utilized the slot 578 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: receiver all that much. Where if you think about the 579 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: Patriots offense over the last decade, a whole lot of 580 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: slot receiver actions. Well, I think we're going to see 581 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: more this year. Yeah, I'll tell you what I mean. 582 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: Kiki QT is thought to be a guy who's fighting 583 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: for his life to stay on this roster because DeAndre 584 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: Carter was the number one return guy last year and 585 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: Kiki had kind of fallen out of favor. I don't 586 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: know if it means anything in the grand scheme of things, 587 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: but even subliminally subconsciously that if I'm Kiki QTT that 588 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: my number got mixed into that question, I'm like, shoo, 589 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: I feel good. At least I got mentioned. The first 590 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: cut is DeShawn naming jersey numbers. It's the Thursday cut 591 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: in a PGA tournament. That's right, That's right, so um 592 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: so yeah, Deshaun Watson, you know, certainly taking control of 593 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: the rains here for the Houston Texans in twenty twenty. 594 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: The other pivotal player on the defensive side of the 595 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: ball that they need a healthy full season from the 596 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: healthy full season from the healthy full is JJ Watt. 597 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: What did JJ Watt learned during during the quarantine and 598 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: what has he been teaching his new teammates.

Jj Watt has done a couple 698 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: of interviews the last twenty four hours. He did a 699 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: normal media session yesterday. We'll get to some of the 700 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: audio from that in a minute, but he was on 701 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon with Clint Sterner and Ron the show hugely 702 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: here on Sports Radio six ten. I thought this was 703 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: interesting talking about the plan for JJ Watt ramping up 704 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: to the regular season. Bill and Jack have done a 705 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: great job of sitting down with me and individualizing that plan, 706 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: and I'm excited about it, even though on days I'm 707 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: sure I'll be chomping at the bit and wish i 708 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: could hop out there. But today was great. Today I 709 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: did a bunch of work with the DLON, did a 710 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: bunch of one on one so I had a great 711 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: day and enjoy being in pads. There's nothing like putting 712 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: the pads on for the first time in training camp 713 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: and getting to pop the pads and hit somebody, and 714 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 1: you know, kind of putting that first bull rush out there. 715 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: More from jj Watt in a minute seth Just so 716 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: people have kind of the inside scoop as to what's 717 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: been going on with some of the veteran players. And 718 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: O'Brien laid this out, as you know, at the beginning 719 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: of his press conference yesterday, his first practice press conference 720 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: before practice number one, he laid out before anybody asked 721 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: any questions, said, just so you guys know different I'm paraphrasing, 722 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,919 Speaker 1: but different guys are going to be handled differently coming 723 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: into the season. So you're going to see guys out 724 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: there doing a certain amount of work. Other guys would 725 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: be going to be doing a different amount of work. 726 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything about necessarily you know how they 727 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: are medically. It's just different guys that have different plans 728 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: for getting ready for the season. Clearly JJ Watt is 729 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: one of those guys. And I say that because at 730 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 1: practice yesterday. First of all, I didn't see him at 731 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: practice today one number two. At practice yesterday, practice number one, 732 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: he was in pads. He did have a helmet on, 733 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: but he spent most of the practice with the helmet 734 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 1: sort of perched on top of his head and kind 735 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: of bopping back and forth to the music, standing with 736 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: the rest of the guys in his position group. He 737 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 1: did no work in the eleven on elevens or the 738 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 1: nine on sevens or anything like that. Sounds like you 739 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: may have done some one on one drills at the 740 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: far end of the bubble where the media the first 741 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 1: this point away from where the media gets to stand. 742 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 1: But I guess the overall point is that they are 743 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: clearly clearly handling JJ Watt kid gloves. Maybe a little 744 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: strong because that implies are something medical, but I think 745 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: that you know, he's thirty one years old. Clearly they're 746 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: ramping him up differently as a veteran player and a 747 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: really important veteran piece than they are the rest of 748 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: the guys. Well, and I've heard JJ mentioned it a 749 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: couple times too, that he understands he's got a tendency 750 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 1: to want to go one hundred miles an hour all 751 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: the time, and we've seen in the past when he's 752 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: coming back from a surgery recently, he will, you know, 753 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,720 Speaker 1: do the normal take your time, you're doing rehab and everything. 754 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 1: But as soon as he's having a season where he's 755 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: coming in and he's completely healthy, he's out there every 756 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: period like he's a twenty four twenty five year old 757 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: young player or something. I think I think he recognizes. Now, Okay, 758 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: I gotta really really be smart first and foremost, I 759 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 1: gotta try to make it through this season healthy. So 760 00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: it's a marathon, not a sprint, whichever cliche you want 761 00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 1: to throw at it. They're they're taking their time with it. 762 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,919 Speaker 1: But I did like the I did like the fact 763 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: that he said he sat down with Bill O'Brien and 764 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: Jack Easterby to figure out exactly how they're going. Sometimes, 765 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 1: if you, especially with a guy like JJ, if you 766 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 1: leave him to his own devices and say, hey, if 767 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: you're starting to feel tired, just let coach know or 768 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: let me know and we'll give you an off day, 769 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 1: because then you feel lazy doing it, you know, and 770 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: you end up practicing more than you should. So I 771 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: think JJ's he's been through every different scenario where there 772 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: have been a couple of years or at least one 773 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: year where he didn't get much work at all and 774 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: he didn't play in the preseason at all, and I 775 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: think he was actually kind of rusty the first couple 776 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 1: of games to where he knows the balance now and 777 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: how much he needs and again just stay healthy for 778 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: sixteen games. Yeah, I would imagine that when you're putting 779 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 1: a plan like that together for JJ, that's going to 780 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: encompass the entire preseason seth especially when there's no games 781 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,839 Speaker 1: or joint practices involved, that you probably, to your point, 782 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: you probably need to be the plan probably needs to 783 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: involve maybe a more conservative amount of practice. That way, 784 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: for someone like JJ who likes to get out there 785 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: and hit and practice, it's gonna be it's gonna be 786 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: easier to go to him and say, Okay, you can 787 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 1: put the pads on today and hit than it is 788 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: to go to him and say, look, you need to 789 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: dial it back today and not practice today. You know 790 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 1: what I mean. Like, if you're gonna be if you're 791 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: gonna air to one side or the other with JJ Watt, 792 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,839 Speaker 1: you probably need to air to the side of being 793 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: conservative about how much you're putting him out there with 794 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: that planned. In the opposite, I would think, well, the 795 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: cool thing is that coaches now have been using all 796 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: this catapult data for a few years where you can 797 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,439 Speaker 1: measure how fast a guy is accelerating, how much he's 798 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: moving around at practice. You know, the NBA has gotten 799 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: really advanced with all this stuff, and football's kind of 800 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: catching up to him. But I asked Bill O'Brien about 801 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: it on Friday, and you know, ask him if if 802 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 1: it chafes against his old school mentality at all, and 803 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: he said that it did three years ago. But now 804 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: the information is just so good. So when you're looking 805 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: at a guy like JJ especially you're older guys, you 806 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: can start to get a feel for all, right, you 807 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 1: know what, he's obviously overtrained or he's fatigued, and we 808 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 1: got to pull them back a little bit and be 809 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,919 Speaker 1: sure that he doesn't pull a hamstring. So I think 810 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 1: that they've gotten more scientific about all this stuff and 811 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier for the coaches now to not 812 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: have to They don't have to overthink it and start 813 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,839 Speaker 1: worrying if they're being too soft or if they're being 814 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: too tough on a guy. They've got the data right 815 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: there in front of them. Yeah, that's a cool level 816 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,240 Speaker 1: of trust by JJ two. Like if what I'm envisioning 817 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: him saying there is he sat down with O'Brien and 818 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: Jack Easterby, and the three of them sat down together 819 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 1: and put a plan where they built a consensus among 820 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,399 Speaker 1: the three of them as to what it should look like. 821 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: That's a pretty cool level of trust for your bet, 822 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 1: you know, one of your you know, two or three 823 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: best players to have. O'Brian he's been around for a while. 824 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: Easterby has not been around very long. But it feels 825 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: like this sort of a plan probably falls more under 826 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: Easterby's purview than it does O'Brien's. You know what I mean, 827 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,360 Speaker 1: the analytics and the you know, the body chemistry and 828 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:52,399 Speaker 1: things like that. Yeah, Jack Easterby' is the I don't know. Still, 829 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: I still have a hard time pinning down exactly what 830 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: his job description is because it seems like it seems 831 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: like wherever anything could be moved over or better or 832 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: tweaked a little bit, they they set Jack easter beyond it. 833 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: So that's where, like I'm not saying it's a bad 834 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: thing that you can't pin it down. I really do 835 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: think he's he's almost trying to make everything more efficient 836 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: in any way that he can, Yeah, including being a 837 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: scout team cornerback in a wide receiver drill. Earlier today, 838 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: I saw you he was doing a little Joe. There 839 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 1: was a receiver just catching balls, warming up, and he 840 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: was hacking at the hacking at the receiver's arms as 841 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: he was trying to catch. You never know when there's 842 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: a jack Easter be lurking. You get a ball security 843 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 1: at all times. Man. I had to say, Jay, I 844 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: thought East was kind of brother in law and he's 845 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: kind of just giving the old really going after Yeah, 846 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 1: that's that is the kind of drill where you're not 847 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: supposed to you're not supposed to be actually stripping the 848 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: ball every time. It was weird when he tackled will Fuller, 849 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: but nevertheless that didn't happen. I'm just kidding. Um more 850 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 1: from JJ wat. Did jj want learn any new hobbies 851 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 1: during the quarantine? Not really. No. My wife is learning 852 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: the piano. UM so that looks hard, So I'm not 853 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: gonna I don't think I'm gonna do that. Um did 854 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,839 Speaker 1: a lot of business stuff, you know, just looking through 855 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: and teaching myself about the business world and finances, investments, 856 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 1: things like that, and trying to make sure I'm as 857 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 1: financially literate as I can be moving forward, because it's 858 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: something as a young player I wasn't necessarily concerned or 859 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: word about. So I would say that's something that I 860 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,320 Speaker 1: learned and picked up. But in terms of actual hobbies, 861 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: I wasn't like whittling birdhouses or anything. I cut the 862 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: grass a lot when I was back in Wisconsin. I 863 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: did become a very big fan. I have a lot 864 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 1: of land back there, like thirty eight acres, so I 865 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: cut the grass and I would line in the field, 866 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: so I have a lot of respect for groundskeepers. He's 867 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,360 Speaker 1: it's like that that commercial with I almost said Johnny Manziel, 868 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: but the dang it Chun said, you have not said 869 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: enough yet. Oh the commercial with the quarterback, the quarterback 870 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 1: in Cleveland from Oklahoma. What the Baker Mayfield right now? 871 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 1: Thank you Baker Mayfield where he's where he's taking care 872 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: of the whole stadium, and say thank you for those 873 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: extra two clues that sewed it up for me. You 874 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 1: know the quarterback that's in that commercial, all right, right right. 875 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 1: I Also I was waiting for JJ to say, like, 876 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: I haven't learned much about finances. Turns out I had 877 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: eighty million dollars sitting in a savings account. No clue, 878 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: Like the guy at Bank of America kept calling me up, 879 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: being like, sir, you sure you don't want to move 880 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: this out of your savings account. No, I'm good. I'm 881 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 1: earning a point three percent interest. That's good. Right, you 882 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: got more today than I did yesterday. Doing it is 883 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: a zoom from his office, like, so, I've been reading 884 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 1: up a finances, so now i know what to do 885 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,919 Speaker 1: with this and he shives up, shoves a big pile 886 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: of cash to the middle of his test, just piles 887 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 1: and stacks of dollars. A second, though, I do want 888 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: to do something. If I was learning point three percent 889 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,799 Speaker 1: on eighty million dollars a year, not bad. I would 890 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,359 Speaker 1: still be making two hundred and forty thousand dollars. Man. 891 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'll take it all right. You know what, 892 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: keep it in your savings account. Yeah. So, jj I 893 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 1: liked that he said that his wife is learning the piano. 894 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 1: But that looks hard, So I'm not gonna do it. 895 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 1: What happened to dream big, work hard? JJ watch? Yeah? Yeah, 896 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 1: well she's all so he tweeted out something where she 897 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,359 Speaker 1: was making her own pasta one day too, and her 898 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: own pasta one day too, and her own pasta's. Khalia 899 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: doesn't mess around, she stays busy. Yeah, that's I think 900 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 1: it's a that is a good life partner for him 901 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 1: to have. So, Um, he's got a lot of new teammates. JJ. 902 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,959 Speaker 1: What actually probably not as many on the defensive side 903 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 1: of the ball as tex and Bands might have wanted 904 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: going going into the offseason. They brought back a lot 905 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: of the same crew, but Ross Blacklock is on that 906 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 1: defensive line. PJ Hall was just brought in to be 907 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 1: part of this defensive line. They've get Eric Murray at safety. 908 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: There are a few new pieces. There are a few 909 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: pieces that are back and fully healthy, like Justin Reid. 910 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 1: JJ was asked about teaching teammates. It's something that I've 911 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 1: actually worked on over the years. Um, It's something that 912 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: I've had to physically work on to make sure that 913 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,840 Speaker 1: I can articulate the things that I want to say 914 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 1: in the best way possible. Because there's some things that 915 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 1: on the field that I can do that some other 916 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: guy has a different skill set that he has to 917 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 1: do a different way, or there's something another guy can 918 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: do that I can't do. So what I had to 919 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: learn over time, is how to properly articulate a coaching 920 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 1: point to a younger player. And I think that's something 921 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 1: that I've I've actually worked hard on and I think 922 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot better at. So with a young guy. Now, 923 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: let's say it's Ross or big Z or whoever it 924 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 1: is on RD line, I do think I can communicate 925 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 1: that a lot better and say, hey, I think this 926 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: is what you're seeing. Here's what I would do in 927 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: that situation, and here's where your eyes should be or 928 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: here's where your feet would be. Not necessarily saying this 929 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 1: is what I would do, because obviously, as a player 930 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,799 Speaker 1: who's been lead for a long time and who sees 931 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 1: things a little differently, a rookie's not necessarily at that point. 932 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 1: So you can't throw on them. Hey, you know, when 933 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: it's Gonne near and they have a guy in this set, 934 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take that sea gap right out of the gate. 935 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 1: He's gonna get yelled at if he tries to do that, 936 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: and I don't want him to get yelled at by 937 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 1: the coaches. So I'm going to say, you know, key 938 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 1: your eyes on his inside shoulder and place your hands here, 939 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,720 Speaker 1: and then make sure you have the sea gap secured, 940 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:52,799 Speaker 1: So you just have to do things like that where 941 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 1: you're putting it in context that they can understand, and 942 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 1: also trying not to overwhelm them, because these rookies have 943 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 1: thousands of things flying through their mind right now, especially 944 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,360 Speaker 1: this year more than ever, and you don't want to 945 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,839 Speaker 1: overwhelm them. I enjoyed playing that one out in my mind, Sean, 946 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 1: because I can almost guarantee you that as JJ was 947 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 1: saying all that, he was thinking about a time where 948 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 1: he wasn't saying hypothetically, he's actually gotten a rookie yelled 949 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: at before because he told him to be more agressive. 950 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: I did the same thing to Travis Johnson when he 951 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,839 Speaker 1: was a rookie because I was out on the field 952 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 1: and I knew what play was coming, so I was like, JA, 953 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: I told Travis that it was gonna be a pass, 954 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: so I told him to like loosen up his alignment 955 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,239 Speaker 1: and go in the next day, he's getting screamed at 956 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: in meetings because he didn't play his responsibility, so I 957 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 1: had to raise my hand and be like coach, that 958 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: was was I did, and then that just pissed the 959 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 1: coach off because then he's in a position where he's 960 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 1: he's in the wrong, and I just nobody was happy. 961 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: I was just trying to help the team. Yeah, JJ, 962 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: So JJ, when he's talking their gun near um, what 963 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,280 Speaker 1: he most likely means is if the if the quarterbacks, 964 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 1: then the shotgun and the running back was offset to 965 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: the side of the tight end. Some teams have some 966 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 1: very strong ten sees when that happens. So JJ is 967 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 1: gonna say, like, all right, well, I know this is 968 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,479 Speaker 1: either a screen or a counter or whatever he thinks 969 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: it is. So he's gonna play really aggressively. But you 970 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,719 Speaker 1: can't tell a young guy to do that because the 971 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 1: defensive coordina is not going to believe him. He's not 972 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 1: gonna believe that he actually knows what he's doing. So 973 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,160 Speaker 1: he's just gotta play vanilla and not good kind of 974 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: go outside the scheme the way that JJ can. The 975 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: really interesting thing to me about that cut seth from 976 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 1: JJ talking about talking to younger players, talking to players 977 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 1: on the defense. Look, JJ is the most experienced guy 978 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 1: on this Steve, doesn't matter who they bring in. He's 979 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 1: the most experienced guy and he will be until he 980 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,839 Speaker 1: deal he's no longer attack and he's been here since 981 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 1: twenty eleven. The most interesting thing to me was the 982 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 1: self awareness to realize, like, hey, not all of these 983 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 1: guys are JJ Watt. He put it much nicer than that, 984 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 1: like he said, not all these guys had the same 985 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: skill set I do. Let's call it what it is. 986 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 1: Not all these guys are great football players like you are. 987 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 1: Where things come easier to you than they do to 988 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 1: other guys. I found that interesting. And this is more 989 00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 1: of a cross sport thing, but a lot of times 990 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,919 Speaker 1: in sports you see guys who were great players get 991 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 1: into coaching and one of the reasons they fail as coaches, 992 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 1: like Magic Johnson is one that comes to the top 993 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 1: of mind. Now, Magic may have just not been a 994 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 1: very good coach because he wasn't a very good coach, 995 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,280 Speaker 1: but these guys have a very low tolerance for failure 996 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 1: because they think that they can teach those guys to 997 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 1: do what they did at their level. There's there's a 998 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 1: lot of great players that fail as coaches because greatness 999 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 1: came I don't want to say greatness comes easy to them, 1000 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,560 Speaker 1: because JJ's worked for everything that he's gotten. But he 1001 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 1: has a lot of God given skills. Obviously, in a 1002 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 1: lot of god given talent. You don't hear a lot 1003 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,279 Speaker 1: of guys who have that level of talent be aware enough, 1004 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 1: the ones that get into coaching or they're dating into 1005 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 1: coaching younger teammates and things like that. That was a 1006 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 1: really cool moment of self awareness that you don't see 1007 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 1: among the lead athletes a lot. The best example of 1008 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 1: that was Reggie White, who his most famous move was 1009 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,319 Speaker 1: the hump move right or he goes upfield and then 1010 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 1: he just swats the guy with his big meat hook there. 1011 00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: And his teammates used to talk about Reggie trying to 1012 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 1: teach the hump move, which is a very like when 1013 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,720 Speaker 1: you set up a hump move, you've got to do it. Really. 1014 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,359 Speaker 1: There's a kind of a rhythm and a timing to it. 1015 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,920 Speaker 1: It's almost like a dance move to get it just right. 1016 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: Except when Reggie would just try to would try to 1017 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:13,799 Speaker 1: teach it, he would say, you know, you just you 1018 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 1: just you just run up field and then you just 1019 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: club him, you know, and then and then you cycle 1020 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Like I can't do that, Reggie, I can't 1021 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,080 Speaker 1: do it. I can't just run up field and then 1022 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 1: club the guy who's terrified of being beat to the outside, 1023 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,680 Speaker 1: because you're fast enough to do that and then use 1024 00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 1: the most ridiculously strong club in the universe to come 1025 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 1: back inside. I gotta set it up a little bit more, 1026 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,800 Speaker 1: more more carefully than that. How confident are you in 1027 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,399 Speaker 1: jj wat playing sixteen games this year? Um, well, look 1028 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: it's been He's only done it one out of the 1029 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,400 Speaker 1: last four years. So I hate to say it, but 1030 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 1: I think, just if you have to think about it mathematically, 1031 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,880 Speaker 1: I think that it's not. I'm not one hundred percent confident. 1032 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 1: I would say I think I'm more confident right this moment. 1033 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 1: And actually, ironically, I think because of the COVID and 1034 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,759 Speaker 1: it's one of those silver linings. I even hate to 1035 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 1: talk about silver linings at COVID sometimes you don't want 1036 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: to say anything positive about it. But for jj and 1037 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 1: and frankly any older guy I was talking about I 1038 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,600 Speaker 1: was talking about this with Tiki Barber the other day 1039 00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,600 Speaker 1: when I was on his show. When you get up 1040 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 1: into the towards your tenth year in the career, you 1041 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,760 Speaker 1: feel like you've learned really how to prepare your body 1042 00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,240 Speaker 1: every offseason, but then you get interrupted by these damn 1043 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 1: OTAs and these damn mini camps, and you can never 1044 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,240 Speaker 1: really spend a full six months doing what you really 1045 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,239 Speaker 1: want to do, training your body. Where this year JJ 1046 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,279 Speaker 1: and all those guys have actually been able to do that, 1047 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,839 Speaker 1: I wonder too. JJ mentioning that Peter King piece from 1048 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,759 Speaker 1: Football Morning in America, I believe it was this week 1049 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,280 Speaker 1: on Monday, Peter King spent a virtual day with the Texans. 1050 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:48,920 Speaker 1: As a lot of Texan fans who are listening to 1051 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,920 Speaker 1: this probably read the article. It's just a long, you know, 1052 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 1: hour by hour account of a day in the life 1053 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 1: of Bill O'Brien, of JJ Watt, of John Reid, a rookie. 1054 00:51:58,080 --> 00:51:59,840 Speaker 1: There were a few other guys that they followed around 1055 00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,080 Speaker 1: in there. And one of the things that was really 1056 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 1: interesting to mean that piece that JJ said, Seth was 1057 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 1: when Peter King asked him, what do you think of 1058 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,600 Speaker 1: this coronavirus training camp format? Basically, and I think, almost 1059 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 1: expecting there to be a negative answer, JJ said, actually, honestly, 1060 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 1: I like it. I'm paraphrase, but it sounds like he 1061 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,640 Speaker 1: likes it better. It's more efficient. He's not sitting around 1062 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 1: a lot. He's not in the building over there from 1063 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,160 Speaker 1: seven am to nine pm, which if you're in any 1064 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 1: one place for a fourteen hour period, there's a level 1065 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 1: of break can be the most fun place in the world. 1066 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,919 Speaker 1: You get burned out looking at the same walls after 1067 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 1: a while. So it sounds like this might be especially 1068 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,360 Speaker 1: for a veteran guy like Wow, this might be a 1069 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,799 Speaker 1: training camp where you you know, you head into the 1070 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 1: season feeling a little clearer headed mentally and maybe not 1071 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,279 Speaker 1: quite as beaten down coming off a training day. There 1072 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 1: is a whole lot of waiting around during training camp, 1073 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,919 Speaker 1: usually where it's a long day, but you do and 1074 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 1: it's the older you get, the more frustrating it gets 1075 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 1: because there's a whole lot of waiting around so you 1076 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 1: can go in and learn the defense that you've already 1077 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 1: learned five times. You know, now this year is a 1078 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 1: little bit different because they do have new terminology. I 1079 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,319 Speaker 1: was curious about that whether Anthony Weaver wouldn't change things 1080 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,920 Speaker 1: up all that much, and it sounds like they've changed 1081 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,359 Speaker 1: a good amounts because Anthony Weaver has mentioned it. Other 1082 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: guys have mentioned about how there is new terminology, which 1083 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,319 Speaker 1: which also, by the way, makes me excited about what 1084 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 1: exactly we're gonna see versus Kansas City because Anthony Weaver, 1085 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 1: I think will be more exotic than Romeo Cornell. And 1086 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,640 Speaker 1: that's not a criticism of Romeo Cornell. Different coaches do 1087 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 1: it different ways. But I think you're going to see 1088 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,880 Speaker 1: some more creativity and some more diversity in the schemes. 1089 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:33,879 Speaker 1: And the great thing about that is that Kansas City 1090 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,680 Speaker 1: hasn't seen any of it and they won't have seen 1091 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,359 Speaker 1: any of it because there's no preseason games. And John 1092 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 1: Harris's piece that he wrote his righte up on practice yesterday, 1093 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 1: he said, Mark Vandermer warns me and all of us 1094 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,400 Speaker 1: every year, don't forget about certain players. Seth and I 1095 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,720 Speaker 1: are going to go through this year's don't forget about 1096 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,799 Speaker 1: me Texan players. How they looked two days into practices 1097 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,399 Speaker 1: at Texans training camps, the Texans Training Camp Special first 1098 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 1: of four they were going to do on Saturdays over 1099 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,280 Speaker 1: the next month.

Sean Pendergass alongside my morning co 1218 01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,360 Speaker 1: host here on sports Radio six ten original Houston Texans 1219 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,440 Speaker 1: Seth Peth Paine, and Seth Um. John Harris said in 1220 01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 1: his Training Camp Report, the Report on the Practice, that 1221 01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,880 Speaker 1: that Mark Vandermure tells him every year. Of course, Marked, 1222 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 1: the play by play voice of the Texans, tells him 1223 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 1: every year, Hey, don't forget about this guy. Don't forget 1224 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:13,400 Speaker 1: about that guy. And so I thought it might be 1225 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,160 Speaker 1: a good idea to go through maybe a few of 1226 01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 1: the names that may wind up contributing to the Houston 1227 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,800 Speaker 1: Texans this year that we could we may have been 1228 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:23,880 Speaker 1: counting on as recently as a year ago, and now 1229 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, for whatever reason, whether it was 1230 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 1: injury or under performance or maybe an injury that hit 1231 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 1: them in the middle of the season last year while 1232 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 1: they were having a good year, for whatever reason, they've 1233 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 1: been off the grid, and we got to remember that that, 1234 01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 1: you know, reinforcements might come in a different form this year, 1235 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:40,880 Speaker 1: in the form of in the form of those players. 1236 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,480 Speaker 1: By the way, John Harris going to jump into four 1237 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 1: thirty five on the show today with me and Clint Sterner, 1238 01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,720 Speaker 1: But Set, do you care to lay out maybe you 1239 01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,840 Speaker 1: and I can play dueling pianos here Maybe on some 1240 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,960 Speaker 1: guys that to maybe fit the category of hey, don't 1241 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 1: forget about us this year, I would say a first 1242 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,840 Speaker 1: and foremost, I think a guy that's he's been mentioned 1243 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:01,600 Speaker 1: enough because I think people are still wondering if he'll 1244 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,160 Speaker 1: be used as a returner this year. But Kiki Qt. 1245 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,640 Speaker 1: I think that Kiki Qt, who you know, got on 1246 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,520 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien's bad side, And that might even be putting 1247 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,840 Speaker 1: it too harshly, but at the very least O'Brien inactivated 1248 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 1: him for several games last year amidst reports that he 1249 01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 1: just wasn't necessarily paying attention to detail as well as 1250 01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,360 Speaker 1: well as he should, and perhaps really knowing the offense 1251 01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,800 Speaker 1: as well as he should. I think Kiki Qt still 1252 01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,240 Speaker 1: brings an element of speed and athleticism to the offense, 1253 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,920 Speaker 1: especially on those jet sweeps that just doesn't there when 1254 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,720 Speaker 1: he's not there. You know, when you try to run 1255 01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,520 Speaker 1: a jet sweep with any other guy on that team. 1256 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,960 Speaker 1: Last year, it just wasn't the same. There wasn't that 1257 01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 1: same level of immediacy that kind of puts fear into 1258 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,080 Speaker 1: the defense and makes them adjust very quickly on the 1259 01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,800 Speaker 1: fly and makes the defense uncomfortable. Even when DeAndre like 1260 01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:54,440 Speaker 1: when DeAndre Hopkins runs a jet sweep. As great as 1261 01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:58,280 Speaker 1: DeAndre is, there's not the same level of panic by 1262 01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,880 Speaker 1: the defense, so it doesn't help the out as much 1263 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 1: by figuring out what's in coverage. So I really, I 1264 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,560 Speaker 1: really hope k QT can be used some this year, 1265 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,000 Speaker 1: and I think some of them last year it was 1266 01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,480 Speaker 1: just him learning how to play in the NFL. Yeah, 1267 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 1: I look if Yeah, DeAndre is a guy. If you 1268 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,240 Speaker 1: get DeAndre running east and west, that's a win for you. 1269 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 1: If you get Kiki QT running east and west, he 1270 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:18,960 Speaker 1: might beat you to the corner and then and then 1271 01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,280 Speaker 1: get then get headed north south. We've seen him score, 1272 01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:22,840 Speaker 1: We've seen him get of the end zone on plays 1273 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,440 Speaker 1: like that before in the NFL. I can tell you, 1274 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,840 Speaker 1: Seth just having watched these first couple of days of practice, 1275 01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 1: Keki looks good. I mean he's catching the ball very confidently. 1276 01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 1: Deshaun is in eleven on eleven is targeting him a 1277 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 1: decent amount. I'll say this, the front three guys of 1278 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 1: this wide receiver corps, Fuller and Cooks and Cobb, they're 1279 01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: all out there at practice. They're all in pads, but 1280 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,600 Speaker 1: they are clearly on a different plan. As well, like 1281 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:51,160 Speaker 1: they have. Once the little receiver drills are over where 1282 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 1: they're just kind of, you know, running little routes around 1283 01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:55,720 Speaker 1: some dummies, and John Perry the wide receiver's coaches doing 1284 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,400 Speaker 1: a little side arm flipped to them, you know, in 1285 01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:01,200 Speaker 1: a line. Then Fuller and Cooks and are off working 1286 01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,040 Speaker 1: out somewhere else at that point, like a lot of 1287 01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:06,720 Speaker 1: the receivers who've been getting true work in these games 1288 01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:09,880 Speaker 1: are are guys who are backup guys, Which tells me 1289 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: that the spots behind those first three and I'll add 1290 01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 1: Stills in as the fourth one is it's a heated competition. 1291 01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,800 Speaker 1: They want to see. They don't need to see Fuller 1292 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,040 Speaker 1: and Cooks and Cob really, although Cooks and Cob are 1293 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,240 Speaker 1: new pieces. And so I'm guessing at some point you've 1294 01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,680 Speaker 1: got to build that that chemistry with Deshaun when the 1295 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,360 Speaker 1: bullets are flying. But that's gonna be hard to do 1296 01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:31,240 Speaker 1: in this preseason. But a guy like chat Hanson number 1297 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,240 Speaker 1: seventeen from last year, he's made a lot of places. 1298 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 1: He's a guy that Bill O'Brien mentioned by name in 1299 01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 1: his press conference yesterday. Stevie Mitchell made a couple of 1300 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,560 Speaker 1: plays yesterday he beat Garyan Conley. I don't know if 1301 01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 1: that I feel worse about Conley or better about Mitchell 1302 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,040 Speaker 1: in that case, but beat him on a crossing route 1303 01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:46,960 Speaker 1: and took it into the end zone. But Keky is 1304 01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,760 Speaker 1: who we're talking about here. I think if Key's gonna 1305 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 1: make the team, I think it's the path for him 1306 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,760 Speaker 1: making the team is going to be in the return game. Yeah. 1307 01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 1: I think that's you know, that's that looks to me 1308 01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,920 Speaker 1: that DeAndre Carter is I think someone may see as 1309 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,720 Speaker 1: a reliable return guy, even though he made some potentially 1310 01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 1: just I mean the Buffalo game where he just flipped 1311 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:08,680 Speaker 1: the ball to the ref and didn't give a signal 1312 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 1: for the touchback could have ended the game. Um the 1313 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 1: fumble in the Kansas City game was a hugely pivotal 1314 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,480 Speaker 1: play that sort of kept the Avalanche falling on top 1315 01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 1: of the text. And so I think deep down they 1316 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 1: they may feel like we've got to find somebody who's 1317 01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,600 Speaker 1: a little more explosive where there's a higher ceiling of 1318 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,800 Speaker 1: reward in the return game, and that might be keiki Qt. Yeah. 1319 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:30,480 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, he's got a whole lot of competition, 1320 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:34,000 Speaker 1: even in a year where there's going to be expanded 1321 01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,080 Speaker 1: opportunities all over the place on the practice squad and whatnot. 1322 01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:40,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot of competition, especially because you drafted a 1323 01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,560 Speaker 1: guy in Isaiah Coulter in the fifth round. He's gonna 1324 01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:45,040 Speaker 1: make the team. Unless Isaiah Coulter is a huge disappointment, 1325 01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,640 Speaker 1: your fifth round pick at wide receiver is gonna make 1326 01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:52,480 Speaker 1: the team. So just for that, for that sixth I mean, 1327 01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,080 Speaker 1: we're talking about the sixth spot amongst the wide receivers 1328 01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,080 Speaker 1: at this point when we're talking Keiki Qt, because there's 1329 01:05:58,080 --> 01:05:59,320 Speaker 1: five guys in front of him that are all going 1330 01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,240 Speaker 1: to get heavy use. Yeah, Coulter has been at practice 1331 01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,640 Speaker 1: but has not suited up for practice the first couple 1332 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,320 Speaker 1: of days. He's been on the sidelines, just sort of 1333 01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 1: soft tossing. He's been in shorts and a T shirt 1334 01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,720 Speaker 1: in the field. Yeah, I should say fifth, fifth guy. 1335 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,680 Speaker 1: But with Cook's fuller, Cobbin Stills are gonna get their touches, 1336 01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna get their work. Qt absolutely fits that criteria 1337 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,440 Speaker 1: seth because he's done things in the NFL before. Not 1338 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,800 Speaker 1: a long resume, but he's had games where you go, man, 1339 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,800 Speaker 1: this guy's an NFL wide receiver. Hell He's a guy 1340 01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,840 Speaker 1: that he was being talked about as the third guy 1341 01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 1: last year, right, it was Hopkins, it was Fuller this 1342 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 1: time last year, QT was the understood third receiver. But 1343 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,120 Speaker 1: then they trade for Stills, and you know, QT kind 1344 01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:39,080 Speaker 1: of falls out of favor. Um, how about next Seth 1345 01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 1: a guy who has not suited up for practice yet. 1346 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,000 Speaker 1: He's on the pup list still, but I can tell 1347 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:45,720 Speaker 1: you he was walking around without a shirt on yesterday 1348 01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:47,000 Speaker 1: and I would not want to get into a fight 1349 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:50,720 Speaker 1: with him. Is doing Cole? Oh? Okay? Yeah, because he 1350 01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:52,880 Speaker 1: was the one I brought up, not because I had 1351 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 1: any information anything, but I was just nervous because he 1352 01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,959 Speaker 1: was put on the physically unable to perform list after 1353 01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,840 Speaker 1: having ACL surgery to end his He's in last year, 1354 01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 1: and I just I personally had a really rough go 1355 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,280 Speaker 1: of my ACL surgery one year, and it wasn't ready 1356 01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,200 Speaker 1: for training camp to begin. So anytime, anytime anybody at 1357 01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 1: an ACL and they're not ready for training camp at 1358 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:12,880 Speaker 1: the beginning, and the next year, I get a little 1359 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:14,880 Speaker 1: bit nervous. You're saying, he looks like he's moving around, 1360 01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,080 Speaker 1: all right, I'm saying, if he's physically unable to perform 1361 01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,320 Speaker 1: that one of those physical activities that he is unable 1362 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,680 Speaker 1: to perform is not lifting with his upper body as well. Say, yeah, 1363 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,680 Speaker 1: well he doesn't. He doesn't look like one of those 1364 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,400 Speaker 1: bodybuilders that nick lects's legs though, does he That doesn't 1365 01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,120 Speaker 1: have a little no, nothing. He doesn't have skinny, little 1366 01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:31,880 Speaker 1: chicken legs or anything like that. He just looks to 1367 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,120 Speaker 1: be in really really good shape. And again, a little 1368 01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,440 Speaker 1: like QT last year Seth where we're viewing Qt as 1369 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:41,040 Speaker 1: just the understood third wide receiver, Cole was viewed as 1370 01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:44,120 Speaker 1: just a key part of the rotation and inside linebacker. 1371 01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,160 Speaker 1: Same way. It wasn't like we were talking about I 1372 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,680 Speaker 1: mean McKinney and Cunningham were the front two guys. The 1373 01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 1: Cole is being talked about as a key piece because 1374 01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,520 Speaker 1: of his coverage skills, which is not a strong suit 1375 01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,200 Speaker 1: for either of those other two guys. And I think 1376 01:07:56,280 --> 01:08:00,520 Speaker 1: Cole still, you know, he just like Zach Cunningham, they 1377 01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 1: have more good football in them. Cunningham made huge strides 1378 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,439 Speaker 1: last year, but I think that there's still there's there's 1379 01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:09,960 Speaker 1: still a couple of hurdles he needs to leap over. 1380 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 1: As he's becoming a genuine professional. Now you know he's 1381 01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,400 Speaker 1: he's this is going into his fourth year in the NFL, 1382 01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,280 Speaker 1: and some of the route recognition and coverage, some of 1383 01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:22,080 Speaker 1: those things, I think he's very very close to being 1384 01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:24,240 Speaker 1: that guy. I think Dylan Cole Cole was there too, 1385 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,280 Speaker 1: because Dylan Cole has a natural a deftness at getting 1386 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,559 Speaker 1: into zones and coverage. Um, you know, play he got 1387 01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,120 Speaker 1: injured a couple of years ago covering a running back 1388 01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,720 Speaker 1: downfield one on one was was a really impressive play. Yeah, 1389 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:38,760 Speaker 1: you know was the running back he was covering Tex 1390 01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,240 Speaker 1: and fans was current Tex and Duke Johnson. That's right, 1391 01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:45,000 Speaker 1: it was Duke Johnson. Yeah, so uh yeah, I mean 1392 01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,200 Speaker 1: I hope. Now. The other thing that made me nervous 1393 01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,280 Speaker 1: about Dylan Cole was the fact that they were bringing 1394 01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:53,679 Speaker 1: in veteran inside linebackers and working them out so which 1395 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,160 Speaker 1: you look at it right now, it's it's Peter Columbai 1396 01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 1: and then a few young guys. You know, Terrell Adams 1397 01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:02,479 Speaker 1: played some last year, but nobody that you necessarily feel 1398 01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,360 Speaker 1: extremely comfortable with having to start. If one of those 1399 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,439 Speaker 1: top two guys get injured, who's another Don't forget about me, guys, 1400 01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 1: se I would say in a strange way, even though 1401 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,840 Speaker 1: he just signed a contract extension. I think Whitney merciless. 1402 01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,360 Speaker 1: And it is weird to say that because he's a 1403 01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,000 Speaker 1: fixture on this team. But I think Whitney had such 1404 01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 1: a hot start last year. But once JJ got injured, 1405 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:28,320 Speaker 1: it's it's it put a whole lot pressure on, a 1406 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:30,439 Speaker 1: more pressure on both Whitney and a whole lot of 1407 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,559 Speaker 1: other guys, and they just weren't able to capitalize. You know, 1408 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,000 Speaker 1: I guess they weren't able to maybe overcome some of 1409 01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,880 Speaker 1: that extra pressure. Whitney's that guy that if there are 1410 01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:43,000 Speaker 1: other threats on the defensive line, Whitney can really take 1411 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,640 Speaker 1: advantage of them. He can really use his savvy and 1412 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:49,920 Speaker 1: his cunning and his athleticism. But he's not necessarily Look, 1413 01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:51,400 Speaker 1: he's not going to be the guy that's going to 1414 01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 1: be a defensive player of the year. He needs to 1415 01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,200 Speaker 1: be used in compliment with all those other guys. No, 1416 01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,040 Speaker 1: but he is now being paid like a guy who 1417 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 1: should go get some of his even without JJ Watt 1418 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,439 Speaker 1: on the field, right. I mean he's making thirteen million 1419 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:07,280 Speaker 1: a year. That's not complimentary piece money. I mean that's 1420 01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,519 Speaker 1: money where you should be making You should be getting 1421 01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,439 Speaker 1: a sack every game or every not every game maybe, 1422 01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:15,000 Speaker 1: but every game would be nice. I mean, thirteen million 1423 01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 1: a year, you're getting paid like a guy should get 1424 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 1: eight and a half nine and a half ten sacks 1425 01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:21,719 Speaker 1: in the league without help, without JJ Watt on the field. 1426 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:24,040 Speaker 1: So I guess do you agree with that assessment? And 1427 01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 1: b how much do you think Anthony Weaver can help 1428 01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,559 Speaker 1: a guy like Whitney Mercillum. I think Weaver can help 1429 01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,439 Speaker 1: a lot. If you look at Matt Juden last year, 1430 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,320 Speaker 1: who didn't light it up, like with a ton of 1431 01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:35,320 Speaker 1: sacks or anything. I don't think if Matt juden't even 1432 01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:37,680 Speaker 1: ended up with double digit sacks last year, but he 1433 01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,000 Speaker 1: had a good year and he got franchise tagged by 1434 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,679 Speaker 1: the Ravens. So he's making a good chunk over fifteen 1435 01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:46,800 Speaker 1: million dollars this year too. So I think that he 1436 01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,000 Speaker 1: is in a system. Matt Judan is in a system 1437 01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 1: in Baltimore that's probably gonna look similar to what Anthony 1438 01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,720 Speaker 1: Weaver is gonna run here. Anthony Weaver was raised up 1439 01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,599 Speaker 1: in Baltimore who still still runs kind of a lot 1440 01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,439 Speaker 1: of the same type of things that Anthony ran when 1441 01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:02,800 Speaker 1: he was in Baltimore, and they do a good job 1442 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:06,479 Speaker 1: of getting guys one on one on offensive lineman or 1443 01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,720 Speaker 1: sometimes one on one on running backs. And I think 1444 01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,360 Speaker 1: it'll create some opportunities for Anthony Weaver any other don't 1445 01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,880 Speaker 1: forget about me, guys that you've got. I see, I 1446 01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:18,719 Speaker 1: was thinking about saying AJ McCarron just just because because 1447 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, just just because there was a part of 1448 01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:23,240 Speaker 1: hey may need to win you a game this year. 1449 01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:24,680 Speaker 1: At some point you might you might need to win 1450 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,479 Speaker 1: you a game. And there's always that part that where 1451 01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:30,680 Speaker 1: AJ McCarron was almost traded for a second rounder to Cincinnati, 1452 01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:32,400 Speaker 1: was it was it a second, second and a third No, 1453 01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:35,439 Speaker 1: he was almost traded from Cincinnati to Cleveland. That's right, 1454 01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:38,080 Speaker 1: for a second and a third rounder. It got scuttled 1455 01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,600 Speaker 1: at the last minute. There's always that part of me 1456 01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:42,680 Speaker 1: that wonders, Okay, what if you're getting towards the end 1457 01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:44,160 Speaker 1: of it, well, what if you're getting down to the 1458 01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:47,479 Speaker 1: trade deadline and things are going well and maybe Alex 1459 01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,920 Speaker 1: McGoo or somebody else emerges and you feel really good 1460 01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:53,640 Speaker 1: about him. If somebody throws a second rounder at you 1461 01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:56,559 Speaker 1: for AJ McCarron, Because they're desperate. Would you take it? 1462 01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 1: I think Trader Bill would take it. Oh, yes, yeah, 1463 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 1: I think he wouldn't. A second A second round pick. 1464 01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:05,760 Speaker 1: They need one badly. Yeah, just the last I checked, 1465 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,400 Speaker 1: they don't have one of those this year. Hey, Seth, 1466 01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:09,479 Speaker 1: you know why, Uh it's funny when you said that 1467 01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,600 Speaker 1: about Matt Judon when you're like, you know, he's a 1468 01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,600 Speaker 1: good player, but you know his numbers didn't wind up 1469 01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 1: as good as you might think last roun I'm like, 1470 01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,439 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I remember watching him and I'm like, this, dude, 1471 01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:20,880 Speaker 1: he feels like kind of a beast. Well, there's a 1472 01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:24,040 Speaker 1: reason why. In the forty one seven loss to the Ravens, 1473 01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,439 Speaker 1: here was Matt Judon's line score for the day. Two sacks, 1474 01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:32,280 Speaker 1: seven solo tackles, three tackles for loss, four hube hits, 1475 01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:35,280 Speaker 1: and a full more recovery. Yeah. I'm surprised the Texans 1476 01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,960 Speaker 1: didn't sign him. Franchise dagger enough. We'll give you two 1477 01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,439 Speaker 1: first for him. Sure, And he ended up with nine 1478 01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:44,320 Speaker 1: and a half sacks on the season. Yeah, so yeah, 1479 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:45,720 Speaker 1: he started up. Well, you know what half of the 1480 01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:49,160 Speaker 1: Ravens last year too, is they were awesome. Don't get 1481 01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,559 Speaker 1: me wrong, and obviously they were better than the Texans 1482 01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,000 Speaker 1: we saw in that game. Yeah, but some of the 1483 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:57,160 Speaker 1: ridiculous numbers, well at least one of them was versus 1484 01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,759 Speaker 1: the Dolphins for some of the stats for the opening. 1485 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,400 Speaker 1: They scored fifty nine points in Week one against the 1486 01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:05,760 Speaker 1: Dolphins last the Dolphins. The Dolphins single handedly screwed up 1487 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,400 Speaker 1: a whole lot of the statistical rankings last year from 1488 01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:10,680 Speaker 1: their fierce few games before they started to figure things 1489 01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,880 Speaker 1: out because it looked like teams are going to score 1490 01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,640 Speaker 1: fifty points every week they played the Dolphins. Yeah, all right, 1491 01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:17,840 Speaker 1: we got our first season ending injury of the year 1492 01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,639 Speaker 1: for the Texans. It's a guy. Look, I feel bad 1493 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,200 Speaker 1: for anybody who has a season ending injury, but this guy, 1494 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,599 Speaker 1: considering what he's gone through in the last twelve months, man, 1495 01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,760 Speaker 1: you feel awful.

Seth, I heard that JJ Watt 1586 01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,439 Speaker 1: cut from Friday in the break there, and all I 1587 01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:16,479 Speaker 1: can think of is you have to find out who 1588 01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:18,479 Speaker 1: the young player is who he accidentally hung out to 1589 01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,120 Speaker 1: dry by him teaching him to do things like JJ 1590 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,519 Speaker 1: Watt would do them. We talked about earlier in the show. 1591 01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:25,519 Speaker 1: You you think that you think that that might have 1592 01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:27,720 Speaker 1: happened where JJ coached a kid up. I'm like hey, 1593 01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:29,400 Speaker 1: just do it this way, and the kid tried to 1594 01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:32,080 Speaker 1: do it that way and he got yelled at, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1595 01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,960 Speaker 1: there's are you're only a few players allowed to play 1596 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,800 Speaker 1: outside a scheme, and like JJ can do it because 1597 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,800 Speaker 1: when JJ does it usually makes the play. Sometimes sometimes 1598 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:46,759 Speaker 1: he does it and the defense gets burned and coaches 1599 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:50,160 Speaker 1: don't care because because the sum total of what he 1600 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,920 Speaker 1: does is so much more beneficial. But you gotta be 1601 01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,960 Speaker 1: a JJ White JJ Watt type talent. That's where Anthony 1602 01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:59,160 Speaker 1: Weavers defensive line coach, I'm sure like multiple times per 1603 01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:01,080 Speaker 1: season is probably had to explain to you, young guy, 1604 01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,800 Speaker 1: like no, you're you know, I know you're saying that 1605 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,400 Speaker 1: JJ did it. You're not allowed to do that because 1606 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:08,920 Speaker 1: you'll hurt us almost every single time. But I'm sorry. 1607 01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,400 Speaker 1: JJ is a good example. No, in life, he is 1608 01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:14,280 Speaker 1: a good example in football. He's he's you know, he's 1609 01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,639 Speaker 1: he's a good work ethic example. But don't there are 1610 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:20,000 Speaker 1: um Junior say, I was like that, JJ Watt is 1611 01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:22,519 Speaker 1: like that. Ray Lewis was like that they could do 1612 01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:26,000 Speaker 1: things that were fundamentally unsound because it just flat out 1613 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 1: didn't matter because they the most most of the time, 1614 01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,320 Speaker 1: they ended up making a really good play when they 1615 01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:33,040 Speaker 1: did it, and they also knew when they could and 1616 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:36,920 Speaker 1: couldn't do it. Like you also, aside from extreme athleticism, 1617 01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:39,320 Speaker 1: you need like an extreme football IQ there too. So 1618 01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:41,360 Speaker 1: like ray Lewis, ray Lewis, I remember the first time 1619 01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:44,280 Speaker 1: I really watched him on film and and I was like, 1620 01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,599 Speaker 1: why are you taking that angle to the ball? Oh? 1621 01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,000 Speaker 1: Oh okay, well help was a hell of a play. Yeah, 1622 01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 1: and after a while you stop asking that question. Yeah, 1623 01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,720 Speaker 1: or safeties like that too, Like when you say that, 1624 01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:55,400 Speaker 1: I think was Ed Reid like that? Like Ed Reid's 1625 01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:56,960 Speaker 1: a guy who was just a ballhawk. He was all 1626 01:20:56,960 --> 01:20:58,599 Speaker 1: over the place. I gotta think he went into business 1627 01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,040 Speaker 1: for himself quite a bit. Yeah, And I think that. 1628 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:05,519 Speaker 1: And it's not into business for himself necessarily mean he 1629 01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:07,439 Speaker 1: sees it, he goes and makes a play. Yeah. I 1630 01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:10,920 Speaker 1: always wondered, like how many young defensive backs were harmed 1631 01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:14,840 Speaker 1: by Dion Sanders, like notoriously baiting people, because yeah, you can, 1632 01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:17,519 Speaker 1: you can bait people when you're as fast as Dion, 1633 01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:22,160 Speaker 1: but baiting people when you're just yeah, that's a dumb. 1634 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:24,160 Speaker 1: When you can break on the ball in two one 1635 01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:26,400 Speaker 1: hundreds of a second, you can you can bait people 1636 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,719 Speaker 1: into things. You have a safeties that's really big because 1637 01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,120 Speaker 1: the safety if you're gonna if you're gonna jump a 1638 01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:36,000 Speaker 1: crossing route will leaving somebody behind you open, then you 1639 01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:39,400 Speaker 1: damn well better know exactly what's going on. Yeah. So 1640 01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:43,640 Speaker 1: that is that's why it's so hard to quantify what 1641 01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,400 Speaker 1: a good safety does for a team sometimes because sometimes 1642 01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:50,200 Speaker 1: it's just it's taking away routes and taking away. What 1643 01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:52,719 Speaker 1: really good safeties do is they take away a quarterback's 1644 01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,040 Speaker 1: favorite thing. Yeah. So it doesn't show up on the stats, 1645 01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:56,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't show up as a broken pass or anything, 1646 01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:59,960 Speaker 1: but oh crap, every time this quarterback wanted to go 1647 01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,160 Speaker 1: somewhere with the ball, there was a safety over the 1648 01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:05,599 Speaker 1: top lurking. Yep. So we had our first season ending 1649 01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,360 Speaker 1: injury of the year towards the end of practice yesterday 1650 01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 1: seth first practice of the year, and I just feel 1651 01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:14,240 Speaker 1: I could not feel worse for this particular player, Duke 1652 01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 1: adja four, who was set to head into his third 1653 01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,640 Speaker 1: season in the NFL. We remember he came into the 1654 01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:22,679 Speaker 1: league in the twenty eight teams part of that twenty 1655 01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:26,679 Speaker 1: eighteen draft class. So Brian Gaines first draft class, and 1656 01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:30,320 Speaker 1: he was in that training camp, his rookie training camp, 1657 01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:33,040 Speaker 1: looking like something they might have found in the sixth round. 1658 01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:34,800 Speaker 1: I think it was the sixth round, fifth or sixth round, 1659 01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:37,200 Speaker 1: when it was definitely a Day three pick. He was 1660 01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:40,960 Speaker 1: somebody who was drafted, you know, reportedly a couple of 1661 01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:43,360 Speaker 1: rounds lower than what maybe his skills were because he 1662 01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,000 Speaker 1: had a shoulder injury in college. Well, then he gets 1663 01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,920 Speaker 1: to the NFL. He does some big things in the preseason, 1664 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:50,800 Speaker 1: but then he can't get on the field. He's banged up, 1665 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:53,439 Speaker 1: and he tears in achilles in the offseason, leading into 1666 01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:56,920 Speaker 1: his second year out for the season. Finally back makes 1667 01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:58,840 Speaker 1: it back to his first practice. This is the first 1668 01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:00,600 Speaker 1: time he's had a helmet and ads on in a 1669 01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,400 Speaker 1: couple of years, and in the very first practice back 1670 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,800 Speaker 1: he tears his ACL and he's out for the season. Seth, 1671 01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys do it sometimes with 1672 01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:11,400 Speaker 1: the amount of work at you guys meaning current and 1673 01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,280 Speaker 1: former football players, and you as somebody who's who's been 1674 01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:18,000 Speaker 1: through something fairly close to what Duke jur just went through. 1675 01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:20,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you suffered an ACL injury early in a 1676 01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,479 Speaker 1: season one year and you come back and you know, 1677 01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,920 Speaker 1: you got banged up as a player, like I don't know, 1678 01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how mentally you guys do that sometimes well, 1679 01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,759 Speaker 1: and it's it's really hard for a guy like Duke Jefour, 1680 01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,240 Speaker 1: who really showed some promise a couple of years ago 1681 01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:38,400 Speaker 1: and people were, you know, we were looking forward to 1682 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,720 Speaker 1: seeing what exactly he could do in two nineteen. He 1683 01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:43,800 Speaker 1: gets hurt in the summer of twenty nineteen, he gets 1684 01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,599 Speaker 1: hurt in summer of twenty twenty, and he's still clamoring 1685 01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:49,960 Speaker 1: to show the coaches what he can do. It's probably 1686 01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,280 Speaker 1: gonna be I looked at it as a competition between 1687 01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,640 Speaker 1: him and Jacob Martin for making the team this year, 1688 01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,719 Speaker 1: because they're both kind of the same type of guys. 1689 01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:01,080 Speaker 1: They're not necessarily the ideal size. They're a little bit undersize. 1690 01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,080 Speaker 1: Perhaps I think Edge of four is bigger than than 1691 01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,519 Speaker 1: Jacob Martin, but they're not as physical in the run 1692 01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:10,040 Speaker 1: game as they are. Promising his pass rushers, and I 1693 01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:11,800 Speaker 1: think that he could have made an impact. Again. We 1694 01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:14,640 Speaker 1: talked about Anthony Weaver figuring out ways to get I 1695 01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,479 Speaker 1: scheme guys open in this defense, and I think they 1696 01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,720 Speaker 1: would have done that for Duke Edge four. Yeah, you know, 1697 01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:24,439 Speaker 1: remember Lonnie, I do, I do. It's like you're reading 1698 01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:26,240 Speaker 1: my night I wrote down in my notes when I 1699 01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:27,840 Speaker 1: got the news about Edge of four him like Lonnie 1700 01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:30,920 Speaker 1: Valantine all over again. Like Lonnie Valentine was a seventh 1701 01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:35,960 Speaker 1: round pick, mister I relevance and he was Lonnie Valentine 1702 01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:38,840 Speaker 1: was huge as a safety, so he was the opposite 1703 01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:41,599 Speaker 1: of Duke Edge of four and Jacob Martin. He was huge. 1704 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:43,840 Speaker 1: He was six foot three. He looked like he could 1705 01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:47,000 Speaker 1: have been a linebacker. And he got hurt three years 1706 01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:49,280 Speaker 1: in a row, and he never touched the field. You know, 1707 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,320 Speaker 1: it was just but they kept him around because there 1708 01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:54,320 Speaker 1: was so much promise there. So hopefully that doesn't end 1709 01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,280 Speaker 1: up becoming the fate of Duke Jefour. I think he'll 1710 01:24:56,320 --> 01:25:00,000 Speaker 1: get another chance next year because they see something in him. Yeah, 1711 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,600 Speaker 1: torn acl that that's that's not is you and I 1712 01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:05,719 Speaker 1: have talked about, not a death sentence at all anymore. 1713 01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,120 Speaker 1: It's you know, that's actually probably an easier injury to 1714 01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:09,960 Speaker 1: come back from then the one he actually came back 1715 01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,680 Speaker 1: from this past year. That the torn achilles all that 1716 01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:14,599 Speaker 1: that's become a little easier to come back from as well. 1717 01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:16,320 Speaker 1: But man, you just feel for the kid. And Bill 1718 01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,960 Speaker 1: O'Brien was asked today in his press conference, how you 1719 01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:24,519 Speaker 1: how you how you recover from something like that? Who 1720 01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:27,320 Speaker 1: who gets bumped up in the rotation or you know who, 1721 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,679 Speaker 1: who does that open up opportunity for? And I thought 1722 01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,040 Speaker 1: it was interesting what O'Brien said, Seth. He's like, you know, 1723 01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:36,439 Speaker 1: it's not that. Now we take what Duke did and 1724 01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:38,320 Speaker 1: we find someone else that Duke does, and you just 1725 01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:41,120 Speaker 1: plug somebody in because what he did was very unique. 1726 01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:42,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's not easy to find guys who are 1727 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:46,160 Speaker 1: who are edge rushers. Um, he said, what probably happens 1728 01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:47,680 Speaker 1: is the guys that were kind of around him on 1729 01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:52,120 Speaker 1: the depth chart maybe collectively backfill his spot. And you know, 1730 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,880 Speaker 1: he said, it's all about taking the pieces that are 1731 01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:57,200 Speaker 1: left over and finding what those guys do. Well, it's 1732 01:25:57,200 --> 01:26:00,000 Speaker 1: not like going, okay, here is here is edge paths 1733 01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 1: shrusher b on level two of the depth chart. Now 1734 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:05,559 Speaker 1: we plug him in like its legos or something like that. 1735 01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:09,600 Speaker 1: Even with a piece that was potentially, as you know, 1736 01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:11,640 Speaker 1: as small a part of the defense. His edge of 1737 01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,519 Speaker 1: four mind have represented and edge rushing specialist on third 1738 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:16,360 Speaker 1: down was probably what his ceiling was going to be 1739 01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:19,880 Speaker 1: for this team this year. Um, you know, even something 1740 01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:22,639 Speaker 1: something like that, you know, you you've you've got to 1741 01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,880 Speaker 1: find a new way to cobble your defense together because 1742 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,479 Speaker 1: every game is seventy five or eighty plays. Yeah, and Duke, 1743 01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:30,719 Speaker 1: cause Duke's two fifty five or so. You know, he's 1744 01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:33,200 Speaker 1: actually substantially bigger than Jacob Martin. I mean, that's that's 1745 01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:36,160 Speaker 1: bigger than von Miller. So it's not he was. I 1746 01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:40,200 Speaker 1: think he was. He was learning to use his strength 1747 01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:42,920 Speaker 1: and leverage and he didn't necessarily play with the same 1748 01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:46,000 Speaker 1: power that it looked like he had in him. So 1749 01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,320 Speaker 1: that's what going into last season, that's what I was 1750 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:50,160 Speaker 1: hoping to see out of him, is Okay, are you 1751 01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:52,839 Speaker 1: going to really show some pop here? Because he had 1752 01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:55,320 Speaker 1: he had a spin move, he had some finesse to 1753 01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:57,439 Speaker 1: his pass rush game, but he needed to be able 1754 01:26:57,439 --> 01:27:01,280 Speaker 1: to balance it out with a bull rush. So that's 1755 01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:04,040 Speaker 1: exactly right what O'Brien saying. Jacob Martin's a different body 1756 01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:06,160 Speaker 1: type of guy than Duke. Kegeforn. I think they're probably 1757 01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:09,360 Speaker 1: hoping for more of a conventional three four outside linebacker 1758 01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:11,160 Speaker 1: out of him Seth, you know, talking about injuries and 1759 01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:12,880 Speaker 1: then just talking a few minutes ago about the safety 1760 01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:14,720 Speaker 1: position got me thinking about one thing. I'm trying to 1761 01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:16,519 Speaker 1: sprinkle in as many things as I saw with my 1762 01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:18,519 Speaker 1: eyes since I'm one of ten people who's allowed out 1763 01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:22,599 Speaker 1: there to watch things. Justin Reid looks healthy. Justin Reid 1764 01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:26,040 Speaker 1: looks good. Justin Reid is making plays. And as you know, 1765 01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,240 Speaker 1: as I've said on our show Paynton pender Gas six 1766 01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:31,280 Speaker 1: to ten weekday mornings on Sports Radio six ten, is 1767 01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:36,880 Speaker 1: that if this defense, if this general manager slash front office, 1768 01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,040 Speaker 1: is not going to go out and get wholesale change 1769 01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:41,360 Speaker 1: pieces on the defense like they did on the offense, 1770 01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,000 Speaker 1: then they're gonna have to find the improvement either through 1771 01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:46,680 Speaker 1: a coaching with Anthony Weaver or be guys who are 1772 01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:50,800 Speaker 1: already here improving from year to year. Justin Reid was 1773 01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:52,719 Speaker 1: already heading into a season where it would be natural 1774 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:54,599 Speaker 1: to see a jump in his improvement from year two 1775 01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:56,760 Speaker 1: to year three. But the fact that this is really 1776 01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:59,080 Speaker 1: the first season that he's been at a training camp 1777 01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:02,240 Speaker 1: physically healthy from head to toe, and he looks healthy 1778 01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,160 Speaker 1: like you remember how many times last year he left 1779 01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:06,759 Speaker 1: the game to get his shoulder looked at. It was ridiculous. 1780 01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:08,639 Speaker 1: It was like every week he was leaving the game 1781 01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:10,840 Speaker 1: to get his shoulder looked at. Justin Reid looks healthy 1782 01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 1: the drills where it's one on one coverage drills. He's 1783 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:16,639 Speaker 1: stride for stride with everybody. He's making plays. Texan fans 1784 01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,040 Speaker 1: be happy. Justin Reid, who I think has a potential 1785 01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:20,760 Speaker 1: to be a pro bowler, looks really really good in 1786 01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:22,679 Speaker 1: camp so far. Yeah, and he actually had to change 1787 01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:24,719 Speaker 1: the way he played. You know, for a guy who's 1788 01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:27,800 Speaker 1: very physical and very good at delivering legal football hits, 1789 01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,639 Speaker 1: he's got it. He's got a great knack for really 1790 01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 1: laying the wood but not getting flagged for it, Yes, 1791 01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:36,200 Speaker 1: which is a huge skill these taste in the modern NFL. 1792 01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:38,439 Speaker 1: He had to change, you know, he couldn't lead in 1793 01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:41,080 Speaker 1: with that injured shoulder like he liked, like he wanted 1794 01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:43,360 Speaker 1: to sometimes. So I think there's there's a lot of 1795 01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,960 Speaker 1: potential for more big plays out of him, just because 1796 01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:47,720 Speaker 1: he can be the more he gives to be as 1797 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:49,599 Speaker 1: physical as he wants to do. This year, I'm still 1798 01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:52,000 Speaker 1: trying to figure out Eric Murray. You know, he looks 1799 01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,519 Speaker 1: like he's gonna be running alongside Justin Reid at safety 1800 01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:59,000 Speaker 1: this year. I'm still I asked O'Brien this morning, do 1801 01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,200 Speaker 1: we have the cut from O'Brien on Eric Murray? Ben, Yeah, 1802 01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,719 Speaker 1: let's hear here. I asked O'Brien about Eric Murray this 1803 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:08,080 Speaker 1: morning in his press conference, and here's what O'Brien had 1804 01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:11,240 Speaker 1: to say. He's another good pro. You know, he's he's 1805 01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,639 Speaker 1: in a lot of starting packages for us as a safety. 1806 01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,760 Speaker 1: He's a he's a versatile guy. He's played in the 1807 01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:19,599 Speaker 1: deep part of the field, he's played down in the box. Uh, 1808 01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:23,080 Speaker 1: He's been a personal protector on a punt team, he's 1809 01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,400 Speaker 1: been on the kickoff coverage team. He's he's had a 1810 01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:28,960 Speaker 1: versatile type of career and he's a very smart guy. 1811 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:30,640 Speaker 1: And so I think he can fill a lot of 1812 01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:34,040 Speaker 1: different roles for us. You know, we're we're you know, 1813 01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:36,320 Speaker 1: we have a lot of different packages on defense where 1814 01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:37,960 Speaker 1: he's going to be in there quite a bit, and 1815 01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,400 Speaker 1: then he's gonna help us on special teams. So so seth, 1816 01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:43,920 Speaker 1: he says right there. You know, the depth chart talk 1817 01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:45,760 Speaker 1: this time of year is a little bit taboo at 1818 01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:48,599 Speaker 1: practice and things like that, O'Brien says, right there, he's 1819 01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:50,519 Speaker 1: part of a bunch of our starting packages on defense, 1820 01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:52,559 Speaker 1: and he's getting paid like a guy who's in a 1821 01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:54,960 Speaker 1: bunch of the starting package. Yeah. I honestly, yeah, I'd 1822 01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:57,240 Speaker 1: be shocked if he didn't start a bunch because they 1823 01:29:57,320 --> 01:30:01,439 Speaker 1: paid him like a starter, so they either, I don't know, 1824 01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:05,200 Speaker 1: I think that'd be one expensive gunner. Yeah. Part of 1825 01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:07,840 Speaker 1: the part of this season I think was that, look, 1826 01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:10,719 Speaker 1: Brian Gaine had been relatively conservative with the Laban, relatively 1827 01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:13,320 Speaker 1: conservative with the Laban, relatively a couple years in spending. 1828 01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,040 Speaker 1: One of the biggest purchases he made in free agency 1829 01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:19,200 Speaker 1: was Aaron Colvin, who only spent one year with the team, 1830 01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 1: or a little bit over a year with the team. 1831 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:26,080 Speaker 1: That I think that they see something in Eric Murray 1832 01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:29,120 Speaker 1: that perhaps, you know, John Dorsey who was the GM 1833 01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:33,080 Speaker 1: of the Chiefs when he drafted Eric Murray then traded 1834 01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:36,760 Speaker 1: for Eric Murray in Cleveland when John Dorsey was in Cleveland. 1835 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:41,240 Speaker 1: John Dorsey obviously really liked Eric Murray, and I think 1836 01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:43,240 Speaker 1: there's probably a few guys out there that see some 1837 01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:46,439 Speaker 1: untapped potential in him. It's a guy, especially we know 1838 01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:49,240 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brian loves versatility, and I think that I think 1839 01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:51,640 Speaker 1: Eric Murray's athletic enough to go down and be a 1840 01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:56,120 Speaker 1: slot corner but also play safety. So last year, when 1841 01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:57,960 Speaker 1: the injuries were as bad as they were in the 1842 01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:01,360 Speaker 1: end of the year, I think they really hoted somebody 1843 01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:03,640 Speaker 1: didn't come in into defensive backfield and play wherever you 1844 01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:05,200 Speaker 1: need into play in case they end up with a 1845 01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:08,320 Speaker 1: situation like that in Kansas City. All Right, body types 1846 01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:11,200 Speaker 1: footwork said, there was a bunch of assignments that you 1847 01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:14,400 Speaker 1: gave me on our show yesterday to watch in practice 1848 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:17,479 Speaker 1: these first two days.

All roads leading to Kansas City Thursday night, 1948 01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:29,000 Speaker 1: September tenth, the Texans and the Chiefs opening things up, 1949 01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:31,360 Speaker 1: and the Texans and the Chiefs the first couple of 1950 01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:34,840 Speaker 1: teams to get practices in the other teams will begin 1951 01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:38,800 Speaker 1: padded practices within the next day or so. But the 1952 01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:40,920 Speaker 1: Texans and the Chiefs sort of the guinea pigs and 1953 01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:42,479 Speaker 1: this whole thing seth. I know a lot of players 1954 01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:45,479 Speaker 1: have been asked about that, you know, I don't know 1955 01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:48,880 Speaker 1: if their answer is supposed to be that they're more 1956 01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:51,200 Speaker 1: nervous about being the first ones to go through stuff. 1957 01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:53,000 Speaker 1: I think as long as you're handling your business with 1958 01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:56,000 Speaker 1: the coronavirus and you're doing everything you need to do 1959 01:37:56,080 --> 01:37:59,120 Speaker 1: social distancing and by the way, everybody's getting tested every 1960 01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:01,960 Speaker 1: day over there. Include the media have not heard anything 1961 01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:05,559 Speaker 1: yet about the results from tests for the Texans post 1962 01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:09,040 Speaker 1: the first practice yesterday. I think that that's one that 1963 01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:11,519 Speaker 1: or the Chiefs for that matter, that that's the one 1964 01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:14,960 Speaker 1: I think everybody's looking forward to because that's the first 1965 01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:18,120 Speaker 1: hint of sort of up close in your face football 1966 01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:21,479 Speaker 1: activities that well, they'd had practices before that, that was 1967 01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:24,559 Speaker 1: just the first padded practices, so I think that I 1968 01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:28,479 Speaker 1: think that they probably have gotten acclimated to just being 1969 01:38:28,479 --> 01:38:30,280 Speaker 1: an up closed in person with other guys. And yeah, 1970 01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:32,839 Speaker 1: because everybody's done such a good job. Where the Texans 1971 01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:36,000 Speaker 1: have zero positive tests so far, and with everybody getting 1972 01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:41,120 Speaker 1: tested every day, presumably hopefully, you know, unless than somebody 1973 01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:44,479 Speaker 1: just catches it at the right spot in the incubation period, 1974 01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:46,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to grab anybody that does test 1975 01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:50,479 Speaker 1: positive as soon as possible and isolate and quarantine and 1976 01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:54,519 Speaker 1: do all that stuff. So I think that that right now, 1977 01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:56,719 Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess if you find any group 1978 01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:59,479 Speaker 1: of one hundred people, well one hundred and fifty people, 1979 01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:01,759 Speaker 1: if you account on staffers and one not in Houston, 1980 01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:04,000 Speaker 1: I would I would guess that at least one of 1981 01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:07,800 Speaker 1: them has COVID. I don't know. Um, so that's not 1982 01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:11,320 Speaker 1: that's not bad. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's it's 1983 01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:12,920 Speaker 1: been usually know what because what are we looking at. 1984 01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,360 Speaker 1: We're looking at like twenty cases per one hundred thousands, 1985 01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:18,160 Speaker 1: So it's uh now that that's less than Yeah that 1986 01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:20,720 Speaker 1: I'd feel fine. I'd feel fine because they're testing all 1987 01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:22,760 Speaker 1: the time. No fans at the first game. What did 1988 01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:27,200 Speaker 1: you think of that? Oh? Yeah, because yeah, because the 1989 01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:30,439 Speaker 1: Texans officially announced it, there won't be fans. There hadn't been. 1990 01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:34,000 Speaker 1: Nobody really knew you even though the Texans had announced 1991 01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:37,479 Speaker 1: that they'd cap fans at fourteen thousand this year, they 1992 01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:39,680 Speaker 1: hadn't made an announcement about what would happen in the 1993 01:39:39,720 --> 01:39:42,400 Speaker 1: first game. I'm a little bit surprised, if only just 1994 01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:47,240 Speaker 1: and this isn't just an NFL specific thing. Um, it's 1995 01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:50,519 Speaker 1: that if you look at restaurants, whether they're at twenty 1996 01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:54,360 Speaker 1: five percent capacity, fifty percent capacity, whatever it is, I 1997 01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:58,000 Speaker 1: think that you could easily create the same environment in 1998 01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:00,560 Speaker 1: a stadium as large as NRG or any other or 1999 01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:04,160 Speaker 1: if Toyota Center or anywhere else, and if you've got 2000 01:40:04,160 --> 01:40:06,280 Speaker 1: them all separated from the players, if that's what you're 2001 01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:10,760 Speaker 1: concerned about, then I was actually surprised that maybe they're 2002 01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,960 Speaker 1: not pushing the envelope. Having said that, all it takes 2003 01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:16,599 Speaker 1: is one really bad event for everything to come crashing 2004 01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:19,120 Speaker 1: down and then you're out the TV money. So I 2005 01:40:19,120 --> 01:40:21,720 Speaker 1: think that I think the NFL is thinking, Okay, the 2006 01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:25,719 Speaker 1: TV contracts are by far our biggest chunk of money 2007 01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:28,519 Speaker 1: that we have a good likelihood of bringing in. Let's 2008 01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:30,680 Speaker 1: not do anything at all to risk that. Yeah, well, 2009 01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:32,760 Speaker 1: that's definitely what the Texans are thinking. It looks like 2010 01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:34,839 Speaker 1: some other NFL teams are going to be thinking differently. 2011 01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:36,559 Speaker 1: I mean, the Cowboys are already coming up with a 2012 01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:39,519 Speaker 1: plan with pods of people, and you can only sell 2013 01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:42,439 Speaker 1: or transfer your tickets to people who are close friends 2014 01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:46,400 Speaker 1: or family. You know, there's talk of their being fans 2015 01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:48,120 Speaker 1: and some of the other stadiums around the league. I'll 2016 01:40:48,160 --> 01:40:51,400 Speaker 1: say this set that it's unfortunate that the Texans probably 2017 01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:53,840 Speaker 1: my guess is what's gonna be their hardest home games, 2018 01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:56,240 Speaker 1: certainly their most This is they're going to be their 2019 01:40:56,240 --> 01:40:58,760 Speaker 1: most difficult opponent at home, at least on paper. The 2020 01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:01,519 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens going in to the season that there won't 2021 01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:03,400 Speaker 1: be a home crowd there is unfortunate because you could 2022 01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:05,920 Speaker 1: use a home crowd. But if the tradeoff is that 2023 01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:09,840 Speaker 1: if the tradeoff is that Kansas City Week one and 2024 01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:14,000 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Week three means that there are zero or next 2025 01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:17,000 Speaker 1: to a zero type size crowd, it's not the worst 2026 01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:18,840 Speaker 1: tradeoff in the world in terms of how you come 2027 01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:21,439 Speaker 1: out on the whole home field advantage versus being on 2028 01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:23,400 Speaker 1: the road kind of thing. Those are probably the two 2029 01:41:23,439 --> 01:41:26,200 Speaker 1: toughest road environments that they're gonna play in this year. 2030 01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:30,599 Speaker 1: The week one week Week three against Kansas City in Pittsburgh. Yeah, 2031 01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:35,960 Speaker 1: and I think that sometimes the ambush element is overplayed. 2032 01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:37,920 Speaker 1: And this wouldn't have anything to do with fans or not, 2033 01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:41,479 Speaker 1: but I think the fact that the Texans have a 2034 01:41:41,520 --> 01:41:43,799 Speaker 1: whole bunch of new receivers with a lot of speed 2035 01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:48,280 Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna see at all how the Texans plan 2036 01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:51,400 Speaker 1: on deploying them, that's gonna help a lot, because even 2037 01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:53,840 Speaker 1: if even if they have a pretty good idea of 2038 01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:56,000 Speaker 1: what the offense is gonna look like, it's hard when 2039 01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:59,200 Speaker 1: you don't see the actual players executing it when you're watching. 2040 01:41:59,240 --> 01:42:01,800 Speaker 1: If you're a defensive play are watching an offensive team, 2041 01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:04,160 Speaker 1: it's hard. It's really hard to visualize if you're just 2042 01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:07,040 Speaker 1: watching old film or guys when they were on a 2043 01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:10,200 Speaker 1: different team, it's hard to prepare that way. So there's that, 2044 01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:13,400 Speaker 1: and then I think defensively, I think Anthony Weavers gonna 2045 01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:16,120 Speaker 1: have a whole bunch of new blitz packages that haven't 2046 01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:19,559 Speaker 1: been used before and some different defensive concepts that teams 2047 01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:21,519 Speaker 1: haven't seen out of the Texans that you've got a 2048 01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:24,080 Speaker 1: chance here in those first two games, which will probably 2049 01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:26,080 Speaker 1: be two of the hardest games you play all season, 2050 01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:28,519 Speaker 1: to have a little bit of an element of surprise. Yeah, 2051 01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:30,400 Speaker 1: I look, I wish I could share something with you 2052 01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:33,000 Speaker 1: about Cooks and Cobb and Fuller and how they look 2053 01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:35,920 Speaker 1: as a front three group of receivers. They've not really 2054 01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:37,880 Speaker 1: gotten time in eleven on eleven. Yeah, but wish I 2055 01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:40,200 Speaker 1: could share something with They were great in drills. They're 2056 01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:42,360 Speaker 1: catching the ball real strong, and the drills with John 2057 01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:44,680 Speaker 1: Perry thrown side arm to them around a dummy. But 2058 01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:47,320 Speaker 1: I wonder if I wonder if they don't wonder if 2059 01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:51,040 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien is being like the ultimate paranoid head football coach, 2060 01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:53,240 Speaker 1: and even with the ten media members there, he wants 2061 01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:56,280 Speaker 1: to be sure he's not he's not exposing anything at all. 2062 01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:59,360 Speaker 1: They probably haven't a second practice after you leave, Sean, Yeah, yeah, 2063 01:42:59,800 --> 01:43:02,000 Speaker 1: it's yeah, he's looking over that's there? Is that pendergasted 2064 01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:04,280 Speaker 1: over there? All right? Yeah? Send Fuller and Cooks and 2065 01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:06,000 Speaker 1: a cop back to the back to the weight room. 2066 01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:09,240 Speaker 1: Line up. Yeah, you're gonna line up Colin Gillespie at 2067 01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:11,160 Speaker 1: wide out and let him think that that's what's gonna 2068 01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:13,160 Speaker 1: this will throw him up the sin Lesbie. I got hurt, 2069 01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:15,719 Speaker 1: by the way, didn't he? He was in street close 2070 01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:18,880 Speaker 1: today yeah, okay, yeah, street clothes. He had one of 2071 01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:21,439 Speaker 1: our favorites. He I loved him. Hope it's something minor 2072 01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:23,800 Speaker 1: families die hard. He looked like he was moving okay 2073 01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:25,640 Speaker 1: today for what it's worth. You say street clothes, you 2074 01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:27,600 Speaker 1: mean like work out closing. Yeah, I know he was 2075 01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:30,400 Speaker 1: in like a suit or you ain't him a polo 2076 01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:34,200 Speaker 1: on and skinny jeans and look like going to a 2077 01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:36,840 Speaker 1: concert at Kimster Boots. No, no, no he was yeah 2078 01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:40,040 Speaker 1: he no, no, no football street clothes. Um, here is 2079 01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:44,479 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien on the newest Houston Texan. Uh A, someone 2080 01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:47,080 Speaker 1: folks in Houston are probably familiar with if you follow 2081 01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,800 Speaker 1: the Battle of the Piney Woods. PJ Hall, former Sam 2082 01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,200 Speaker 1: Houston State Bearcats second round pick of the Raiders a 2083 01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:54,719 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, was let go by the Raiders 2084 01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:58,320 Speaker 1: actually after being traded, flunked his physical in the trade 2085 01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:00,439 Speaker 1: that the Raiders had arranged with the Vike, So then 2086 01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:03,640 Speaker 1: he was back on the street. The Texans pick him 2087 01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:05,280 Speaker 1: up and they're going to bring him in to see 2088 01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:07,240 Speaker 1: if he can provide a boost to that defensive line. 2089 01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:11,519 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien's assessment of the newest Texan PJ. Hall Yeah, 2090 01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:15,800 Speaker 1: so PJ we brought in, Um, you know, we're taking 2091 01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:17,920 Speaker 1: a chance on PJ. You know, PJ is a guy 2092 01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:19,920 Speaker 1: that played at Sam Houston State, was drafted in the 2093 01:44:19,960 --> 01:44:21,920 Speaker 1: second round in twenty and eighteen. He's got a lot 2094 01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:26,040 Speaker 1: of talent. He's uh, he's a guy that you know, 2095 01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:28,760 Speaker 1: has flashed at times in this league. He's got to 2096 01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:31,080 Speaker 1: get in shape so you won't see him out there today. 2097 01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:33,679 Speaker 1: We got to get him in shape, lose a little 2098 01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:35,920 Speaker 1: bit of weight, and then get him on the field 2099 01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:37,760 Speaker 1: and see what he can do, you know, because he 2100 01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:41,960 Speaker 1: has shown uh the ability to play good football in 2101 01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:44,800 Speaker 1: Oakland at times. But we we've got to he's got to, 2102 01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, do a little a little bit of proving 2103 01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:49,280 Speaker 1: that to us. And I think so far, so good. 2104 01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:52,320 Speaker 1: He's working his butt off and for the last couple 2105 01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:54,680 Speaker 1: of days, and and and so we'll keep we'll keep 2106 01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:56,800 Speaker 1: watching him and we'll get him out there when we can. Steth, 2107 01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm all for these types of moves. I'm all for 2108 01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:01,080 Speaker 1: moves of guys who maybe flashed a little bit. We're 2109 01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:04,040 Speaker 1: drafted pretty high, but ultimately may have flunked out with 2110 01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:06,240 Speaker 1: the team that drafted him for one reason or another. 2111 01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:08,800 Speaker 1: With the hope that they can be brought in here 2112 01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:11,439 Speaker 1: and have their career rehabilitated in some way, because pretty 2113 01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:13,280 Speaker 1: soon you're gonna be some way, Because pretty soon you're 2114 01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:15,880 Speaker 1: gonna be some way because being Deshaun Watson forty million 2115 01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:18,080 Speaker 1: dollars a year or whatever the number winds up being, 2116 01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:22,800 Speaker 1: and you're it's it's gonna get harder to find solutions 2117 01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:25,240 Speaker 1: that you can just throw money at, or trade and 2118 01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:27,759 Speaker 1: throw money at, like Laramie Tunsel. Guys like the Tunzel's 2119 01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:30,639 Speaker 1: an extreme example. Hes eyes pay tackle in football, but 2120 01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:33,840 Speaker 1: you know, think things like maybe overpaying guys that had 2121 01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:36,040 Speaker 1: been in the building a little bit as rewards for 2122 01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:38,280 Speaker 1: being good soldiers and things like that, Like those are 2123 01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:42,080 Speaker 1: all things that get harder to do. You've once you've 2124 01:45:42,080 --> 01:45:45,200 Speaker 1: paid a quarterback, and it just finding talent becomes harder 2125 01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:47,080 Speaker 1: to do. So I think it's a good move by 2126 01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:49,800 Speaker 1: the Texans and Bill O'Brien to find a guy's a 2127 01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:52,560 Speaker 1: former second round pick. You've got a defensive coordinator is 2128 01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:54,840 Speaker 1: one of the best defensive line coaches in football, and 2129 01:45:54,840 --> 01:45:57,280 Speaker 1: he's still coaching the defensive line. What do you think 2130 01:45:57,280 --> 01:45:59,800 Speaker 1: about what Anthony Weaver might be able to do with PJ. 2131 01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:05,519 Speaker 1: I think that PJ. Hall in Oakland looked like he 2132 01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:08,640 Speaker 1: was trying to be a run stuffer and and I 2133 01:46:08,680 --> 01:46:10,400 Speaker 1: don't know if that was Oakland's design. I don't know 2134 01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:12,800 Speaker 1: if PJ. Hall gained more weight than they wanted him too, 2135 01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:15,519 Speaker 1: so that's how they had to use him. But he's 2136 01:46:15,560 --> 01:46:19,000 Speaker 1: a guy that he ran less sub four eight forty 2137 01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:21,360 Speaker 1: in his pro day. I'm gonna remember watching him in college. 2138 01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:23,320 Speaker 1: He's got a lot of speed, he's got a lot 2139 01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:26,320 Speaker 1: of pop, but at the weight he was playing in Oakland, 2140 01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:29,200 Speaker 1: you could tell that it was kind of that athleticism 2141 01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:32,439 Speaker 1: was trapped inside a body that was too bulky. And 2142 01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:36,320 Speaker 1: he wasn't fat by defensive line Sanders, he was just 2143 01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:38,960 Speaker 1: he had a little too much bulk to really move 2144 01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:40,920 Speaker 1: the way I think he's capable of moving. So when 2145 01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:43,479 Speaker 1: O'Brien talks about him having to lose some weight, yeah, 2146 01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:46,000 Speaker 1: I think I don't know what weight he's at right now, 2147 01:46:46,120 --> 01:46:48,160 Speaker 1: but I think even if, even if it's the same 2148 01:46:48,160 --> 01:46:50,360 Speaker 1: weight that he was when he played last year, his 2149 01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:52,400 Speaker 1: ideal weight's gonna be a little bit lower than that. 2150 01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:55,080 Speaker 1: So that's exciting to me. And again, hopefully maybe it 2151 01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:57,599 Speaker 1: was just that Oakland wanted him play that at that weight. 2152 01:46:57,600 --> 01:47:00,960 Speaker 1: But he's he's only six foot tall, and you know 2153 01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:02,680 Speaker 1: you can only carry so much weight on a six 2154 01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:05,519 Speaker 1: foot tall frame. Some guy's gonna Jerry Ball. Jerry Ball 2155 01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:07,600 Speaker 1: was only six foot. I don't think Jerry Ball was 2156 01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:09,280 Speaker 1: very tall at all, and he was like three fifty. 2157 01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:11,360 Speaker 1: That was a that was a unique body type in 2158 01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:13,960 Speaker 1: the NFL. Couldn't he dunk a basketball or something like that? 2159 01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:19,320 Speaker 1: He was ridiculously he was a ridiculous specimen. Yeah. Um, 2160 01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:21,760 Speaker 1: so you had asked him put one thirty pounds and 2161 01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:24,680 Speaker 1: he could doukh god. Um, So you had asked me 2162 01:47:24,720 --> 01:47:26,160 Speaker 1: to look at some of these guys, just kind of 2163 01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:28,120 Speaker 1: get the the eyeball test on some of these guys. PJ. 2164 01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:29,720 Speaker 1: Hall was not out there, at least I didn't see 2165 01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:31,920 Speaker 1: him out there, but O'Brien gave his assessment. I needs 2166 01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:34,000 Speaker 1: to drop a few pounds. Um, you asked me a 2167 01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:37,680 Speaker 1: few other seth Nick Martin, Yeah, because he because he, 2168 01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, borrowed weight room equipment during the pandemic, So 2169 01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:43,240 Speaker 1: I figured he was gonna come out without a prison 2170 01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:45,400 Speaker 1: body borrowed would mean he's given it back. Do we 2171 01:47:45,479 --> 01:47:47,639 Speaker 1: know for sure that he's given it back at this point. 2172 01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:49,519 Speaker 1: He just he's just got a big contract last year 2173 01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:51,200 Speaker 1: or two. Mind you. That was the part that was 2174 01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:53,200 Speaker 1: so that was the part that we just couldn't quite 2175 01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:54,880 Speaker 1: figure out, like why did he why did he need 2176 01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:57,479 Speaker 1: to take equipment from the weight room? Yeah, it's I 2177 01:47:57,560 --> 01:47:59,080 Speaker 1: do want to the first time he's up, I'm gonna 2178 01:47:59,080 --> 01:48:00,880 Speaker 1: ask him what piece of book it was. I'm very 2179 01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:02,640 Speaker 1: intrigued by this. I haven't got an answer to this 2180 01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:04,360 Speaker 1: because I want to know it. It might be something 2181 01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:06,759 Speaker 1: I need to get for myself. I won't I won't 2182 01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:10,040 Speaker 1: steal it, but i'll I'm gonna be purchased it with dollars, 2183 01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:12,200 Speaker 1: So you want to know. He looked and you and 2184 01:48:12,240 --> 01:48:14,719 Speaker 1: I maybe somewhat jokingly said, I wonder if he's gonna 2185 01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:18,760 Speaker 1: have washboard abs because he's stealing workout equipment. Yeah, um, tbd. 2186 01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:22,280 Speaker 1: Because he did have his jersey kind of hiked up, 2187 01:48:22,520 --> 01:48:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, with underneath the number sixty six. They're like 2188 01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:27,439 Speaker 1: tucked up under the shoulder pad front. But he had 2189 01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:29,439 Speaker 1: but he had a T shirt on underneath that, So 2190 01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:33,799 Speaker 1: that's it. He does look I mean all kidding aside, 2191 01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:36,120 Speaker 1: he does look to be in really good shape. He's 2192 01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:38,320 Speaker 1: moving very very well. So Yeah, and it looked that 2193 01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:41,519 Speaker 1: offensive line, the offensive line is going to surprise a 2194 01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:44,000 Speaker 1: lot of people. Um And I only say surprised because 2195 01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:46,000 Speaker 1: I think some people don't realize that the offensive line 2196 01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:49,599 Speaker 1: did improve last year. Some of Deshawn's issues last year 2197 01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:51,880 Speaker 1: were of his own making. Sometimes it was because of 2198 01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:56,880 Speaker 1: the receivers uh not being opened downfield, but there was 2199 01:48:57,240 --> 01:49:00,679 Speaker 1: a notable improvement in past protection. Yeah, and I think 2200 01:49:00,720 --> 01:49:03,200 Speaker 1: that if they are able to stay healthy, you know, 2201 01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:05,920 Speaker 1: Keith Titus Howard around the whole year, that this could 2202 01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:07,479 Speaker 1: actually be for the first time in a long time 2203 01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:09,160 Speaker 1: you could look at this offensive line as a source 2204 01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:11,120 Speaker 1: of strength or the Texas well. Seth. It's the first 2205 01:49:11,160 --> 01:49:12,880 Speaker 1: time that I it's the first time that I can 2206 01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:16,360 Speaker 1: remember since the beginning of O'Brien getting here, you know, 2207 01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:18,360 Speaker 1: that offensive line when he first got here at Dwayne 2208 01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:22,120 Speaker 1: Brown and Chris Myers and Ben Jones, Brandon Brooks, Derek Newton, 2209 01:49:22,200 --> 01:49:24,920 Speaker 1: like they had five guys who had been here for 2210 01:49:24,960 --> 01:49:27,600 Speaker 1: a while and had you know, played anywhere from a 2211 01:49:28,040 --> 01:49:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, Dwayne and all pro level at one point 2212 01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:33,000 Speaker 1: to other guys who were you know, good solid pieces 2213 01:49:33,040 --> 01:49:36,840 Speaker 1: along the offensive line, and then it just became this 2214 01:49:36,920 --> 01:49:40,360 Speaker 1: attrition thing, whether it was guys leaving in free agency 2215 01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:42,240 Speaker 1: or you know, we know what happened when Dwayne when 2216 01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:44,880 Speaker 1: they traded him, Like it just became by twenty seventeen, 2217 01:49:45,479 --> 01:49:48,120 Speaker 1: it became this issue with the team that just gave 2218 01:49:48,160 --> 01:49:51,360 Speaker 1: you Odjita to look at the offensive line work out 2219 01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:53,559 Speaker 1: during training camp, to look over there and go, I 2220 01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:55,639 Speaker 1: can't believe this is the group that has to protect 2221 01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:58,479 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Right now, I don't feel that anymore. Like 2222 01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:00,200 Speaker 1: I look at that group, I look at those five 2223 01:50:00,240 --> 01:50:02,080 Speaker 1: guys run out there with the ones, and I go, 2224 01:50:02,200 --> 01:50:04,920 Speaker 1: that's a damn good looking group of offensive linemen. Right Well, 2225 01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:07,960 Speaker 1: that's what I remember during last year's training camp was 2226 01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:10,720 Speaker 1: seeing the starters, including when the rookies were out there 2227 01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:15,200 Speaker 1: because they weren't good yet, but just athletically, how much 2228 01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:17,519 Speaker 1: more impressive they were than the second team. And you 2229 01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:20,040 Speaker 1: might say, well, yeah, shouldn't it be that way? Yeah, 2230 01:50:20,280 --> 01:50:23,320 Speaker 1: but the second team was all the previous year's starters. Yes, 2231 01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:26,719 Speaker 1: so it was it really there was a really stark 2232 01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:29,600 Speaker 1: difference in oh my gosh, one of these looks like 2233 01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:32,920 Speaker 1: an NFL potential potential NFL offensive line and one looks 2234 01:50:32,960 --> 01:50:35,559 Speaker 1: like all the backups who are actually starting last year. Yeah, 2235 01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:37,920 Speaker 1: they've they've given that line an extreme makeover just in 2236 01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:41,160 Speaker 1: one year's time. So, um, that's that's been nice to see. 2237 01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:43,679 Speaker 1: It's nice to enough to worry about about the about 2238 01:50:43,680 --> 01:50:46,160 Speaker 1: the offensive line. Other guys. You asked me about body types. 2239 01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:49,080 Speaker 1: You asked me about JJ Watt only because Anthony Weaver's 2240 01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:51,280 Speaker 1: first thing that he said when he was asked about 2241 01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:53,960 Speaker 1: Watt in his press conference last week was the man 2242 01:50:54,120 --> 01:50:59,080 Speaker 1: is huge. Um, I can confirm indeed, Anthony were the 2243 01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:01,519 Speaker 1: JJ Watt is. Yeah. I mean he's just he's a monster. 2244 01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:04,679 Speaker 1: He looks gigantic. It's I thought just from his zoom 2245 01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:10,360 Speaker 1: called he looked a little bit more chiseled than usual, which, like, 2246 01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:12,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, he'll keep on more praise to the guy, 2247 01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:16,400 Speaker 1: I suppose, but it's I think a lot of these guys, 2248 01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:19,200 Speaker 1: and I think all these veteran players especially, you can 2249 01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:21,800 Speaker 1: tell that all they did during this quarantine was worked out. Yeah, 2250 01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:23,920 Speaker 1: he stayed for the most part, They stayed at home 2251 01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:28,200 Speaker 1: and they worked out, and JJ, David Johnson, Randall Cobb, 2252 01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:30,839 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, they all look like that. Well, if if 2253 01:51:30,880 --> 01:51:34,400 Speaker 1: that's what Jordan Thomas was doing, then the pandemic might 2254 01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:36,120 Speaker 1: have been the best thing to ever happened to him. 2255 01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:39,639 Speaker 1: Because Jordan Thomas, a guy who came in last year overweight, 2256 01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:44,240 Speaker 1: like noticeably overweight, and quite honestly had a season of 2257 01:51:44,280 --> 01:51:47,439 Speaker 1: a guy I played overweight. He was injured at one 2258 01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:49,680 Speaker 1: point on the injured reserve. They brought him back and 2259 01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:51,439 Speaker 1: he was he didn't, you know, he just he didn't 2260 01:51:51,439 --> 01:51:53,000 Speaker 1: have a good year. He did not build on his 2261 01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:55,160 Speaker 1: rookie year. He looked more like he rested on his 2262 01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:57,720 Speaker 1: laurels of his rookie year. Whatever the wake up call 2263 01:51:57,800 --> 01:52:00,479 Speaker 1: needed to be not so early. But he looks to 2264 01:52:00,479 --> 01:52:02,120 Speaker 1: be in really good shape and seth. He made a 2265 01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:07,280 Speaker 1: couple of tremendously athletic plays in day one of practice yesterday. 2266 01:52:07,360 --> 01:52:09,799 Speaker 1: Made a made a kind of a spinning back shoulder 2267 01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:12,559 Speaker 1: catch in one on one drills with a guy draped 2268 01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:14,720 Speaker 1: all over him, a safety draped all over him. And 2269 01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:16,479 Speaker 1: then he had a nice catch down the seam in 2270 01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:18,800 Speaker 1: eleven on eleven, a catch and run where he was 2271 01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:21,040 Speaker 1: just he looked great, man, He looked like a gazelle. 2272 01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:26,439 Speaker 1: It was awesome. Now Collie Waring didn't practice today morning today? 2273 01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:29,439 Speaker 1: Did he practice yesterday? Do you remember? Did you know that? Okay, so, 2274 01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:32,040 Speaker 1: but he was walking around, Yeah, he was walking around. 2275 01:52:32,080 --> 01:52:33,559 Speaker 1: He was hanging out with the tight ends. He was 2276 01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:35,479 Speaker 1: not he know, he had not not a deal where 2277 01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:38,200 Speaker 1: he was outside with a trainer, you know, doing they 2278 01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:40,840 Speaker 1: like it could have been a planned day off for him, 2279 01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:43,840 Speaker 1: for all veterans day off. You know, a guy who's 2280 01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:48,800 Speaker 1: played zero snaps in the NFL. Yeah, yeah, I still 2281 01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:50,679 Speaker 1: think that we might see a trade at some point 2282 01:52:50,680 --> 01:52:53,080 Speaker 1: out of the tight ends. Again, this is one of 2283 01:52:53,080 --> 01:52:57,040 Speaker 1: the unexpected side effects of Corona that he didn't really anticipate. 2284 01:52:57,160 --> 01:53:01,160 Speaker 1: Is Hey, the Texans have four viable tight ends right now. 2285 01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:04,840 Speaker 1: You'd love to maybe put something on film in the 2286 01:53:04,880 --> 01:53:07,200 Speaker 1: preseason for a couple of those guys like Jordan Thomas, 2287 01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:11,080 Speaker 1: for instance. Hey, he's healthy, looks good. Maybe somebody want 2288 01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:13,040 Speaker 1: to throw some draft picks our way for him, but 2289 01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:15,000 Speaker 1: they're not gonna get to go to look at him. 2290 01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:17,000 Speaker 1: I think Tom Thomas is the only guy who's gonna draw. 2291 01:53:17,120 --> 01:53:19,320 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not gonna trade Aikins or Fells because 2292 01:53:19,360 --> 01:53:22,599 Speaker 1: they like those guys. It's tough to say that Wearing 2293 01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:24,759 Speaker 1: would be able to draw anything around the league because 2294 01:53:24,800 --> 01:53:27,000 Speaker 1: he's he's well. I don't think the Texans want to 2295 01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:28,640 Speaker 1: trade it. I think they see a lot ups. I 2296 01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:31,120 Speaker 1: think of those four, Wearing is the only one that 2297 01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:34,920 Speaker 1: would genuinely strike fear in a defense as a vertical 2298 01:53:34,960 --> 01:53:37,720 Speaker 1: threat up the seam. So I think there's like I 2299 01:53:38,120 --> 01:53:41,599 Speaker 1: guarantee you, Bill O'Brien has sat around thinking about what 2300 01:53:41,680 --> 01:53:45,160 Speaker 1: can happen if they get Collie Wearing isolated on a 2301 01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:48,559 Speaker 1: middle linebacker up the seam in Tampa two because they 2302 01:53:48,560 --> 01:53:50,960 Speaker 1: think they're gonna get some deep shots to him. Yeah. Well, 2303 01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:53,080 Speaker 1: it'd be fun to see this season for sure, Seth. 2304 01:53:53,160 --> 01:53:55,000 Speaker 1: I think we are about out of time for your 2305 01:53:55,040 --> 01:53:58,560 Speaker 1: two hours here on the Texans Training Camp special.

The Chiefs 2494 02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:48,840 Speaker 1: and the Texans Thursday night, September tenth, gets the whole 2495 02:03:48,920 --> 02:03:52,160 Speaker 1: year kicked off for the NFL. It's all presented by Xfinity. 2496 02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:56,200 Speaker 1: You guys asked me yesterday on your show when when 2497 02:03:56,200 --> 02:03:57,680 Speaker 1: I came on at five fifteen to give you the 2498 02:03:57,760 --> 02:04:00,320 Speaker 1: update of the first day of practice. You that's an 2499 02:04:00,320 --> 02:04:05,320 Speaker 1: interesting question about just Bill O'Brien's I guess operationally what 2500 02:04:05,400 --> 02:04:07,800 Speaker 1: O'Brien was like at practice, because we know operationally things 2501 02:04:07,840 --> 02:04:11,600 Speaker 1: have changed for coach O'Brien this year versus previous years. 2502 02:04:11,800 --> 02:04:14,240 Speaker 1: He's not the play caller anymore. Tim Kelly's the play 2503 02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:18,160 Speaker 1: caller now. He's he's promoted a defensive coordinator in Anthony Weaver, 2504 02:04:18,280 --> 02:04:20,400 Speaker 1: so he's got two new play callers on both sides 2505 02:04:20,440 --> 02:04:23,400 Speaker 1: of the ball. And you had asked me yesterday if 2506 02:04:23,520 --> 02:04:25,640 Speaker 1: you know Bill O'Brien was doing anything differently, you know 2507 02:04:25,720 --> 02:04:27,640 Speaker 1: it was he was he delegating? Was he spending more 2508 02:04:27,640 --> 02:04:30,760 Speaker 1: time here there? And my answer was, and I knew 2509 02:04:30,800 --> 02:04:32,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna ask me that, So I observed him quite 2510 02:04:32,600 --> 02:04:34,720 Speaker 1: a bit, and there were times throughout practice where I go, man, 2511 02:04:34,840 --> 02:04:36,520 Speaker 1: I wish he would do something different so I can 2512 02:04:36,560 --> 02:04:38,680 Speaker 1: have a sexier answer. When Clint asked me this at 2513 02:04:38,680 --> 02:04:40,200 Speaker 1: five fifteen to dause, I knew you were going to 2514 02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:42,800 Speaker 1: ask me, and I didn't. I wouldn't to give you 2515 02:04:42,800 --> 02:04:45,680 Speaker 1: the honest answer. Bill O'Brien was actually asked about that 2516 02:04:45,720 --> 02:04:47,960 Speaker 1: this morning on his press conference by John McClean. Here's 2517 02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:49,600 Speaker 1: what he had to say. You know, I wouldn't say 2518 02:04:49,640 --> 02:04:54,120 Speaker 1: that practice is too much different, because even even last year, Tim, 2519 02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, Tim Kelly would relay the play into de 2520 02:04:57,520 --> 02:05:00,160 Speaker 1: Shaun quite a bit, you know, so Deshaun's very used 2521 02:05:00,200 --> 02:05:03,880 Speaker 1: to hear in Tim's voice in the helmet. M So 2522 02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:07,280 Speaker 1: relative to my role, it's it's really the same. You know, 2523 02:05:07,400 --> 02:05:10,000 Speaker 1: maybe I can spend a little bit more time watching 2524 02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:13,760 Speaker 1: the defense and watching them especially early in practice and 2525 02:05:13,840 --> 02:05:15,880 Speaker 1: things like that. So maybe that's a little bit different. 2526 02:05:15,880 --> 02:05:19,000 Speaker 1: But overall, I don't think it's too much of a 2527 02:05:19,080 --> 02:05:21,720 Speaker 1: different role for me relative to practice. Okay, so I 2528 02:05:21,720 --> 02:05:23,839 Speaker 1: felt good about that answer. I'm like, Okay, even O'Brien 2529 02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:26,240 Speaker 1: himself is saying it's not that different. And today again 2530 02:05:26,480 --> 02:05:28,520 Speaker 1: not that different, except that O'Brien blew up a couple 2531 02:05:28,560 --> 02:05:30,480 Speaker 1: of times when guys were taking guys to the ground. 2532 02:05:30,720 --> 02:05:32,800 Speaker 1: He does not like that when guys and even though 2533 02:05:32,800 --> 02:05:35,080 Speaker 1: it's a padded practice, they do not want guys going 2534 02:05:35,080 --> 02:05:36,600 Speaker 1: to the ground because that's when guys get hurt. When 2535 02:05:36,600 --> 02:05:38,520 Speaker 1: they're not expecting to go to the ground, that's when 2536 02:05:38,520 --> 02:05:41,320 Speaker 1: guys get hurt. But you've been you've been very vocal. 2537 02:05:41,520 --> 02:05:44,840 Speaker 1: I think about maybe the just the different set of 2538 02:05:44,840 --> 02:05:47,600 Speaker 1: eyes that Deshaun might need in terms of play calling. 2539 02:05:47,680 --> 02:05:49,320 Speaker 1: Going back to last year, I know that was something 2540 02:05:49,360 --> 02:05:52,560 Speaker 1: you mentioned a lot on the postgame show, Um, that 2541 02:05:53,080 --> 02:05:54,640 Speaker 1: a new set of eyes and in this case, Tim 2542 02:05:54,720 --> 02:05:57,880 Speaker 1: Kelly could be really good for Deshaun. We're only two 2543 02:05:57,920 --> 02:06:00,680 Speaker 1: practices in. They haven't done much in passing game in 2544 02:06:00,720 --> 02:06:03,240 Speaker 1: these eleven on elevens yet. But from what you've heard 2545 02:06:03,240 --> 02:06:06,080 Speaker 1: from Dashaun and from Kelly and O'Brien so far, what's 2546 02:06:06,080 --> 02:06:08,560 Speaker 1: your enthusiasm level that this is something that's gonna help 2547 02:06:08,560 --> 02:06:10,600 Speaker 1: take this offense to the next level. Well, it's my 2548 02:06:10,720 --> 02:06:12,800 Speaker 1: enthusiasm levels through the roof. Now. I don't know what 2549 02:06:12,800 --> 02:06:15,400 Speaker 1: it's going to result in, because because the NFL is 2550 02:06:15,440 --> 02:06:17,160 Speaker 1: as a beast, it's hard to win in this league. 2551 02:06:17,160 --> 02:06:18,040 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people don't like to 2552 02:06:18,120 --> 02:06:19,800 Speaker 1: hear that, but Bill O'Brien is one hundred person and 2553 02:06:19,760 --> 02:06:21,560 Speaker 1: accurate when he says that. I don't know if it's 2554 02:06:21,560 --> 02:06:24,640 Speaker 1: gonna if it's gonna amount to more victories or a 2555 02:06:24,680 --> 02:06:27,280 Speaker 1: top five offense. But I know this, I know it 2556 02:06:27,320 --> 02:06:31,560 Speaker 1: is extremely difficult to operate and execute at at your 2557 02:06:31,600 --> 02:06:34,520 Speaker 1: ceiling or above your ceiling. As a quarterback. The more 2558 02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:36,920 Speaker 1: voices you have in your ear throughout the week and 2559 02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:41,320 Speaker 1: on Sundays, the more you can get one consistent voice 2560 02:06:41,320 --> 02:06:43,760 Speaker 1: in the quarterback's head, and the more that you can 2561 02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:48,160 Speaker 1: get one message delivered to that quarterback every single day 2562 02:06:48,200 --> 02:06:51,160 Speaker 1: by that one single voice, and the more familiar those 2563 02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:54,200 Speaker 1: two voices are, the quarterback and that that consistent voice 2564 02:06:54,200 --> 02:06:56,920 Speaker 1: he's hearing throughout the week, the more familiar they are 2565 02:06:56,960 --> 02:06:59,840 Speaker 1: with each other on the field on Sunday is such 2566 02:06:59,840 --> 02:07:04,000 Speaker 1: a powerful aspect of offensive football that gets overlooked a 2567 02:07:04,040 --> 02:07:05,480 Speaker 1: lot of the times. Hell it was overlooked with the 2568 02:07:05,480 --> 02:07:09,360 Speaker 1: Texans last year. That I gotta believe that streamlining that 2569 02:07:09,520 --> 02:07:12,480 Speaker 1: the way that the quarterback position is addressed throughout the 2570 02:07:12,480 --> 02:07:16,080 Speaker 1: week and on Sunday, Sean is absolutely huge. I think 2571 02:07:16,120 --> 02:07:18,200 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watchson's gonna take a stride anyway you're three to 2572 02:07:18,280 --> 02:07:22,240 Speaker 1: year four, But man streamlining that. I had Joe Ferguson 2573 02:07:22,400 --> 02:07:25,480 Speaker 1: in college, which at practice he's the only guy talked 2574 02:07:25,480 --> 02:07:26,920 Speaker 1: to me. When I got to the league, I had 2575 02:07:26,920 --> 02:07:29,640 Speaker 1: Wade Wilson, only guy talked to the quarterback. And that 2576 02:07:29,800 --> 02:07:32,320 Speaker 1: is just something that if you have it, you overlook it, 2577 02:07:32,400 --> 02:07:34,400 Speaker 1: you know, take it for granted. But when you don't, 2578 02:07:34,840 --> 02:07:36,800 Speaker 1: man your head spinning. So I think it's important that 2579 02:07:36,800 --> 02:07:39,240 Speaker 1: they streamline that. It's a big time DeShawn is I 2580 02:07:39,320 --> 02:07:41,880 Speaker 1: mean just physically Deshawn's next level, right, I mean, Deshaun 2581 02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:44,720 Speaker 1: is physically one of the most talented and gifted quarterbacks 2582 02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:48,080 Speaker 1: in all of football. He can sling it, he can improvise, 2583 02:07:48,280 --> 02:07:50,960 Speaker 1: he can run. He is he is a pain in 2584 02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:53,120 Speaker 1: the ass for opposing defense. There's no doubt about that. 2585 02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:57,320 Speaker 1: He is incredibly intelligent as well his football IQ. I 2586 02:07:57,360 --> 02:07:59,520 Speaker 1: just remember I remember you and him diagramming these plays 2587 02:07:59,600 --> 02:08:01,600 Speaker 1: up here in the Verizon Artist Lounge when we were 2588 02:08:01,640 --> 02:08:04,120 Speaker 1: when we were doing that night with Deshaun Watson. I've 2589 02:08:04,160 --> 02:08:06,280 Speaker 1: seen de Sean do it in some of those features 2590 02:08:06,280 --> 02:08:09,640 Speaker 1: on NFL films, not NFL films, but on the NFL network, 2591 02:08:09,680 --> 02:08:11,600 Speaker 1: like with Kurt Warner. Seemed to Sean do it in 2592 02:08:11,600 --> 02:08:14,000 Speaker 1: press conferences when Aaron Rees has asked him a question. 2593 02:08:14,680 --> 02:08:18,040 Speaker 1: He's so incredibly intelligent when it comes to football that 2594 02:08:18,400 --> 02:08:20,560 Speaker 1: I feel like if you have a system, if you 2595 02:08:20,600 --> 02:08:23,720 Speaker 1: have a methodology in place that is somehow cluttering things, 2596 02:08:24,280 --> 02:08:26,880 Speaker 1: then that is one huge area of him that you 2597 02:08:27,080 --> 02:08:29,120 Speaker 1: like you're It's one thing to not take advantage of 2598 02:08:29,120 --> 02:08:31,440 Speaker 1: a quarterback's physical skills, right like, oh, he can run 2599 02:08:31,480 --> 02:08:33,040 Speaker 1: the ball, you should run him a little bit more. 2600 02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:36,000 Speaker 1: This guy's also a football IQ that's off the charts. 2601 02:08:36,280 --> 02:08:38,520 Speaker 1: Don't be doing things that are gonna clutter things and 2602 02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:42,920 Speaker 1: change things around. Do things are gonna accentuate his intelligence 2603 02:08:42,920 --> 02:08:45,000 Speaker 1: and how he sees the game. There's no doubt it. 2604 02:08:45,120 --> 02:08:47,839 Speaker 1: Just put it. Just think in terms of put yourself 2605 02:08:47,840 --> 02:08:50,800 Speaker 1: in practice Monday through Wednesday, the conversations that go on 2606 02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:54,200 Speaker 1: between the quarterback and Tim Kelly at this point time, 2607 02:08:54,280 --> 02:08:56,560 Speaker 1: or Carl Smith, which everyone Carl Smith handling him last 2608 02:08:56,640 --> 02:09:01,960 Speaker 1: year in the individual periods in practice and so which 2609 02:09:01,960 --> 02:09:03,560 Speaker 1: again to me, that's one of those you go, man, 2610 02:09:03,600 --> 02:09:06,600 Speaker 1: I don't I want the play caller that has to 2611 02:09:06,680 --> 02:09:10,040 Speaker 1: be um viewing the game from the same lens as 2612 02:09:10,040 --> 02:09:13,200 Speaker 1: the quarterback handling him as often as possible. And so 2613 02:09:13,280 --> 02:09:15,160 Speaker 1: you had Carl Smith, you had Tim Kelly, you had 2614 02:09:15,160 --> 02:09:19,240 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien. There's no way, Sean that last year messages 2615 02:09:19,280 --> 02:09:23,520 Speaker 1: didn't get lost in translation somewhere. It's human nature. As 2616 02:09:23,880 --> 02:09:26,000 Speaker 1: great as those guys are and as special as they 2617 02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:29,920 Speaker 1: are in the coaching world, there's it's it's just common 2618 02:09:29,960 --> 02:09:35,880 Speaker 1: sense that that important messages, important coaching points um get 2619 02:09:35,920 --> 02:09:38,879 Speaker 1: lost in translation when there's that many, that many heads involved. 2620 02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:40,440 Speaker 1: And to know that Tim Kelly is going to be 2621 02:09:40,440 --> 02:09:44,400 Speaker 1: the guy, I think that in itself is really really 2622 02:09:44,440 --> 02:09:46,360 Speaker 1: important and really gonna give these guys an opportunity to 2623 02:09:46,480 --> 02:09:48,480 Speaker 1: to up their game on the offensive of the ball. 2624 02:09:48,520 --> 02:09:50,520 Speaker 1: It's kind of myronic because I asked O'Brien a question 2625 02:09:50,520 --> 02:09:53,120 Speaker 1: in his press conference yesterday about the operation on game 2626 02:09:53,200 --> 02:09:56,600 Speaker 1: day with two first time play callers Weaver and Kelly, 2627 02:09:56,960 --> 02:10:01,200 Speaker 1: that there's no preseason games to simulate the bullets flying live. 2628 02:10:01,320 --> 02:10:03,000 Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna have scrimmages, and they're gonna do 2629 02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:04,920 Speaker 1: their best to simulate it in these scrimmages that they're 2630 02:10:04,920 --> 02:10:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna have, But there's no preseason games where at the 2631 02:10:07,120 --> 02:10:09,600 Speaker 1: very least, you know you put your starters in for 2632 02:10:09,640 --> 02:10:11,280 Speaker 1: a series and yank them out. Well, the one thing 2633 02:10:11,320 --> 02:10:12,480 Speaker 1: you know is going to be going on is that 2634 02:10:12,600 --> 02:10:14,840 Speaker 1: Kelly and Weaver are gonna be calling plays all sixty minutes, 2635 02:10:14,880 --> 02:10:16,480 Speaker 1: and they get to do that for four games. They 2636 02:10:16,480 --> 02:10:18,680 Speaker 1: don't get to do that this year. But what's interesting 2637 02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:21,160 Speaker 1: about what you just said about the relationship between the 2638 02:10:21,240 --> 02:10:24,440 Speaker 1: quarterback and the play caller. I asked O'Brien, are you 2639 02:10:24,520 --> 02:10:26,640 Speaker 1: gonna have Kelly and Weaver on the sidelines? Are they 2640 02:10:26,680 --> 02:10:28,240 Speaker 1: gonna be up in the booth because some teams do 2641 02:10:28,280 --> 02:10:29,640 Speaker 1: it differently. He said, we want them down on the 2642 02:10:29,640 --> 02:10:31,680 Speaker 1: sidelines because these are the guys that have been talking 2643 02:10:31,720 --> 02:10:33,920 Speaker 1: to their guys all week, and when they're talking to 2644 02:10:33,960 --> 02:10:36,600 Speaker 1: their guys all week, there's something that gets lost face 2645 02:10:36,680 --> 02:10:38,840 Speaker 1: to face on game day if you're not down there 2646 02:10:38,880 --> 02:10:41,080 Speaker 1: talking to them. I think what you're saying is a 2647 02:10:41,120 --> 02:10:43,960 Speaker 1: bit of a flavor of exactly what, ironically O'Brien. I 2648 02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:46,600 Speaker 1: say ironically because O'Brien, I think has realized that right 2649 02:10:46,600 --> 02:10:49,480 Speaker 1: like O'Brien, there are coaches who are overly loyal and 2650 02:10:49,480 --> 02:10:51,400 Speaker 1: sit on what they're doing and bang their head against 2651 02:10:51,440 --> 02:10:53,880 Speaker 1: the wall and keep doing the same thing. You can't 2652 02:10:53,920 --> 02:10:56,200 Speaker 1: criticize Bill O'Brien for They ain't criticize him for this 2653 02:10:56,240 --> 02:10:57,800 Speaker 1: trade or that trade, or whatever you want to do. 2654 02:10:57,960 --> 02:11:01,640 Speaker 1: You can't criticize him for at least taking a look 2655 02:11:01,640 --> 02:11:03,800 Speaker 1: at something that's not getting to the level he wants 2656 02:11:03,840 --> 02:11:05,240 Speaker 1: to get it to. He, like all of us, wants 2657 02:11:05,280 --> 02:11:07,320 Speaker 1: to get past the divisional round and win a super Bowl. 2658 02:11:07,720 --> 02:11:09,440 Speaker 1: He's made a lot of big changes for a team 2659 02:11:09,440 --> 02:11:11,440 Speaker 1: that's won double digit games the last couple and then 2660 02:11:11,680 --> 02:11:13,800 Speaker 1: in the entire time that the team, at least since 2661 02:11:13,840 --> 02:11:15,960 Speaker 1: he's had to Shaun Watson teams seems to be an 2662 02:11:15,960 --> 02:11:18,120 Speaker 1: ascending team. Maybe not at the rate that a lot 2663 02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:20,400 Speaker 1: of fans want want them to be ascending, but they 2664 02:11:20,440 --> 02:11:23,280 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it that this team is getting better. 2665 02:11:23,480 --> 02:11:27,440 Speaker 1: They're winning more games. They somehow, you know that, they 2666 02:11:27,560 --> 02:11:29,920 Speaker 1: somehow made it to the second round, which was one 2667 02:11:30,000 --> 02:11:33,680 Speaker 1: game better than last year in the playoffs. And to 2668 02:11:34,200 --> 02:11:36,720 Speaker 1: think that Bill O'Brien is at the pinnacle of his 2669 02:11:36,800 --> 02:11:39,520 Speaker 1: profession in terms of the coaching profession in the NFL 2670 02:11:39,600 --> 02:11:41,840 Speaker 1: one of thirty two guys, and he steps to the 2671 02:11:41,880 --> 02:11:44,040 Speaker 1: podium and says, hey, man, what i've We've won a 2672 02:11:44,040 --> 02:11:47,160 Speaker 1: lot of games, We've built a great roster, but what 2673 02:11:47,200 --> 02:11:49,560 Speaker 1: we've been doing is not good enough. We got to 2674 02:11:49,600 --> 02:11:52,160 Speaker 1: do better. And that better is me stepping aside and 2675 02:11:52,240 --> 02:11:54,680 Speaker 1: letting Tim Kelly take the reins of the offense. That's 2676 02:11:54,720 --> 02:11:56,360 Speaker 1: just a powerful statement. I don't know what the hell's 2677 02:11:56,360 --> 02:11:58,520 Speaker 1: gonna amount to, but that's a powerful statement. I admire 2678 02:11:58,520 --> 02:12:01,360 Speaker 1: and respect him for making that decision before it's too late. 2679 02:12:01,360 --> 02:12:02,680 Speaker 1: It's easy to make that decision when you're on a 2680 02:12:02,720 --> 02:12:04,960 Speaker 1: hot seat. Yeah, and if you don't win, you're out 2681 02:12:04,960 --> 02:12:07,360 Speaker 1: of here, or your quarterbacks you know, your quarterback gets 2682 02:12:07,360 --> 02:12:10,120 Speaker 1: traded or your quarterback. This is the time that you 2683 02:12:10,240 --> 02:12:12,160 Speaker 1: admire and respect the guy for making that decision. Well 2684 02:12:12,200 --> 02:12:14,360 Speaker 1: that you know, and then just to changes personnel wise 2685 02:12:14,400 --> 02:12:15,840 Speaker 1: on that side of the ball, Like if you go 2686 02:12:15,880 --> 02:12:18,120 Speaker 1: back and look, it would be would be back and 2687 02:12:18,200 --> 02:12:21,120 Speaker 1: look and see what the what the starting lineup was 2688 02:12:21,440 --> 02:12:25,240 Speaker 1: in week one, Hell, it could be week five or 2689 02:12:25,280 --> 02:12:27,080 Speaker 1: six of twenty eighteen, you know what I mean. Go 2690 02:12:27,160 --> 02:12:28,800 Speaker 1: look at what the starting lineup was at the beginning 2691 02:12:28,800 --> 02:12:31,560 Speaker 1: of training camp in twenty nineteen, you know what I mean. 2692 02:12:31,640 --> 02:12:35,040 Speaker 1: And and it was probably Hopkins in fuller wide receiver. 2693 02:12:35,120 --> 02:12:39,160 Speaker 1: Well now it's fuller in Cobb and Cooks probably in 2694 02:12:39,200 --> 02:12:43,360 Speaker 1: a three wide receiver set um. You know. The tight ends. Hell, 2695 02:12:43,400 --> 02:12:46,520 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, Ryan Griffin and c. J. Fedorowitz, we're 2696 02:12:46,560 --> 02:12:48,560 Speaker 1: still here. They're both gone. It's all these other tight 2697 02:12:48,640 --> 02:12:51,080 Speaker 1: ends who I think are more athletic, with more upside 2698 02:12:51,080 --> 02:12:52,960 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. The offensive line other than Nick 2699 02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:55,440 Speaker 1: Martin has completely been blown out. And that happened at 2700 02:12:55,440 --> 02:12:57,600 Speaker 1: the like since the beginning of last year, a beginning 2701 02:12:57,600 --> 02:12:59,920 Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen. And then the running of the back 2702 02:13:00,120 --> 02:13:03,680 Speaker 1: field was the backfield this time a year ago was 2703 02:13:04,320 --> 02:13:07,800 Speaker 1: Lamar Miller and Deonta Foreman. You know, maybe foreman might 2704 02:13:07,880 --> 02:13:10,480 Speaker 1: name and cut a little before the beginning of August, 2705 02:13:10,560 --> 02:13:11,960 Speaker 1: might have been the end of it, might have been 2706 02:13:11,960 --> 02:13:13,640 Speaker 1: like the first or second week of training camp, whatever 2707 02:13:13,680 --> 02:13:15,920 Speaker 1: the case may be. Carlos Hide and Duke Johnson were 2708 02:13:15,920 --> 02:13:17,280 Speaker 1: the two guys that carry the load for this team. 2709 02:13:17,320 --> 02:13:19,120 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson can get here to a week three of 2710 02:13:19,120 --> 02:13:22,200 Speaker 1: the preseason, Carlos Hide got here a week before. Other 2711 02:13:22,240 --> 02:13:25,360 Speaker 1: than Deshaun Watson and Nick Martin and Will Fuller when 2712 02:13:25,360 --> 02:13:27,840 Speaker 1: he's on the field, the entire offense has been given 2713 02:13:27,840 --> 02:13:32,000 Speaker 1: a makeover in twelve to fifteen months. Yeah, yeah, it's 2714 02:13:32,040 --> 02:13:33,880 Speaker 1: really remarkable, and I think it's you know, and I 2715 02:13:33,880 --> 02:13:36,920 Speaker 1: think despite one of those moves being trading the best 2716 02:13:36,920 --> 02:13:38,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver in football, I think it's going to be 2717 02:13:38,680 --> 02:13:41,280 Speaker 1: a better offense this year. I think you'd be hard 2718 02:13:41,280 --> 02:13:43,400 Speaker 1: pressed to find somebody that knows the game of football, 2719 02:13:43,480 --> 02:13:47,040 Speaker 1: knows the NFL level game of football, and doesn't look 2720 02:13:47,040 --> 02:13:49,960 Speaker 1: at this roster top to bottom and go. The Texans 2721 02:13:50,360 --> 02:13:52,879 Speaker 1: have a They have a better chance to win football 2722 02:13:52,920 --> 02:13:55,680 Speaker 1: games the way they're built today. From a person from 2723 02:13:55,680 --> 02:13:58,280 Speaker 1: a roster standpoint, especially the offense. Other football defense might 2724 02:13:58,280 --> 02:14:00,760 Speaker 1: be a different, different animal on the offenses side of 2725 02:14:00,760 --> 02:14:04,200 Speaker 1: the football. Man, you're deep, you're really good up front, 2726 02:14:04,480 --> 02:14:06,960 Speaker 1: You're versatile across the board at the skill positions and 2727 02:14:07,080 --> 02:14:09,520 Speaker 1: the offensive line. And you've got a top five quarterback. 2728 02:14:09,520 --> 02:14:11,440 Speaker 1: It's twenty four years old, and I don't know what 2729 02:14:11,480 --> 02:14:13,360 Speaker 1: the hell else you want in terms of having success. Man, 2730 02:14:13,400 --> 02:14:15,120 Speaker 1: that's the case. Vegas is gonna get their head handed 2731 02:14:15,120 --> 02:14:17,120 Speaker 1: to him because the number in Vegas right now seven 2732 02:14:17,120 --> 02:14:20,000 Speaker 1: and a half wins for the Texans. Who are you 2733 02:14:20,040 --> 02:14:22,880 Speaker 1: thinking of getting into the the the gambling business if 2734 02:14:22,880 --> 02:14:24,840 Speaker 1: at seven and a half, Well, I've been, I've been 2735 02:14:24,920 --> 02:14:28,840 Speaker 1: in and out, I've kind of I'm going over all 2736 02:14:28,920 --> 02:14:32,920 Speaker 1: that I like gambling. No, yeah, no, I think it's 2737 02:14:32,960 --> 02:14:34,880 Speaker 1: gonna be over seven and a half wins as well. Um, 2738 02:14:35,040 --> 02:14:38,000 Speaker 1: I only bet diet cokes on things. Yeah, so um uh. 2739 02:14:38,080 --> 02:14:40,839 Speaker 1: We roll on here on Texans Training Camp Special presented 2740 02:14:40,840 --> 02:14:43,680 Speaker 1: by Exfinity here on Sports Radio six.

And so 2881 02:22:38,480 --> 02:22:41,800 Speaker 1: you got that security blanket right there with him. Um, 2882 02:22:42,040 --> 02:22:45,160 Speaker 1: you've got speed, good gush coming out of his ears 2883 02:22:45,240 --> 02:22:50,000 Speaker 1: with with Cooks and Fuller obviously and steals and man 2884 02:22:50,240 --> 02:22:52,959 Speaker 1: the weapons and the toys that the quarterback for the 2885 02:22:52,959 --> 02:22:56,080 Speaker 1: Houston Texan has at his fingertips right now has got 2886 02:22:56,120 --> 02:22:58,320 Speaker 1: to be something he's excited about. Yeah, And I know that. 2887 02:22:58,560 --> 02:23:00,720 Speaker 1: I look. I know that if we throw the name 2888 02:23:00,800 --> 02:23:03,200 Speaker 1: David Johnson around and it feels like to some people 2889 02:23:03,240 --> 02:23:04,840 Speaker 1: probably fel like where you're throwing the name around, as 2890 02:23:04,840 --> 02:23:07,080 Speaker 1: if you're throwing twenty sixteen David Johnson around. And I'm 2891 02:23:07,080 --> 02:23:09,320 Speaker 1: not here to tell you he's twenty sixteen David Johnson. Again, 2892 02:23:09,360 --> 02:23:12,360 Speaker 1: we don't know. We're two practices in this. I can 2893 02:23:12,400 --> 02:23:15,879 Speaker 1: tell you from having watched him both days, especially yesterday, 2894 02:23:16,920 --> 02:23:19,400 Speaker 1: and I think others in the building who I didn't 2895 02:23:19,400 --> 02:23:21,640 Speaker 1: really talk to during practice sort of shared the same opinion. 2896 02:23:21,720 --> 02:23:23,800 Speaker 1: Others I talked to shared it as well. But the 2897 02:23:23,879 --> 02:23:26,920 Speaker 1: consensus among everybody who was watching him was that David 2898 02:23:27,000 --> 02:23:29,240 Speaker 1: Johnson looked really, really good these last couple days, and 2899 02:23:29,280 --> 02:23:31,640 Speaker 1: he's looked good since he got here. He's an incredible condition. 2900 02:23:31,720 --> 02:23:35,280 Speaker 1: He's for a running back. He's a gigantic human being. 2901 02:23:35,280 --> 02:23:39,160 Speaker 1: He means six two two thirty, but he moves very fluidly, 2902 02:23:39,200 --> 02:23:41,520 Speaker 1: and his signature has always been sort of that jump cut. 2903 02:23:41,760 --> 02:23:43,240 Speaker 1: He got to use that quite a bit in these 2904 02:23:43,240 --> 02:23:45,520 Speaker 1: padded practices. They weren't bringing guys to the ground, but 2905 02:23:45,560 --> 02:23:47,480 Speaker 1: they were trying to open up space and create holes 2906 02:23:47,480 --> 02:23:49,440 Speaker 1: for him, and he did a really good job of 2907 02:23:49,760 --> 02:23:52,400 Speaker 1: jump cut exploding through the hole and did a great 2908 02:23:52,440 --> 02:23:54,360 Speaker 1: job Clint in some of the one on one drills, 2909 02:23:54,360 --> 02:23:56,560 Speaker 1: pass catching drills, or he was lined up with linebackers 2910 02:23:56,560 --> 02:23:59,039 Speaker 1: and safeties like he's going to be, like I'm assuming 2911 02:23:59,040 --> 02:24:01,160 Speaker 1: Tim Kelly is going to try to find mismatches for 2912 02:24:01,280 --> 02:24:05,280 Speaker 1: David Johnson. I would say again, the analogy I'll make 2913 02:24:05,440 --> 02:24:06,959 Speaker 1: is that I'm not ready to give him an A 2914 02:24:07,160 --> 02:24:09,920 Speaker 1: plus for the course because the final exam is going 2915 02:24:09,959 --> 02:24:12,160 Speaker 1: to be the regular season. All he's done so far 2916 02:24:12,280 --> 02:24:15,560 Speaker 1: is past a couple of pop quizzes. But he's, you know, 2917 02:24:15,600 --> 02:24:17,680 Speaker 1: to me, so far he's aced the pop quizzes like 2918 02:24:17,760 --> 02:24:21,280 Speaker 1: he looks the part. He's moving the part. The question 2919 02:24:21,320 --> 02:24:24,840 Speaker 1: in terms of becoming close to what he was back 2920 02:24:24,840 --> 02:24:27,480 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen is does he still have that ability 2921 02:24:27,760 --> 02:24:31,280 Speaker 1: to break tackles, to make yards after contact, things like 2922 02:24:31,360 --> 02:24:33,440 Speaker 1: things that are going to separate him from just sort 2923 02:24:33,480 --> 02:24:35,360 Speaker 1: of your garden varietis, things that are going to separate 2924 02:24:35,440 --> 02:24:37,600 Speaker 1: him from being Carlos Hyde, who was pretty good last year. 2925 02:24:37,680 --> 02:24:39,840 Speaker 1: But David Johnson has a skill set that's a cut above. 2926 02:24:40,640 --> 02:24:42,879 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised at all, Sean that what you see 2927 02:24:42,920 --> 02:24:47,000 Speaker 1: is an elite, tangible skill set when when you I'll 2928 02:24:47,080 --> 02:24:49,080 Speaker 1: argue that Bill O'Brien's never had a running back in 2929 02:24:50,480 --> 02:24:52,959 Speaker 1: Houston where you look at he had some guys that 2930 02:24:53,200 --> 02:24:56,280 Speaker 1: are you know that they produce, but I'm talking about 2931 02:24:56,280 --> 02:24:58,480 Speaker 1: that you look at and you go, he's got more twitch, 2932 02:24:58,879 --> 02:25:01,400 Speaker 1: he's got more speed. It looks the part he I mean, 2933 02:25:01,560 --> 02:25:03,840 Speaker 1: like like an elite at the elite level like that. 2934 02:25:03,959 --> 02:25:06,320 Speaker 1: So I'll argue that that this is the first back 2935 02:25:06,360 --> 02:25:08,879 Speaker 1: that Deshaun Watson's played with here and that Bill O'Brien's 2936 02:25:08,920 --> 02:25:12,039 Speaker 1: had here with the Houston Texans that's cut from that cloth. Um, 2937 02:25:12,040 --> 02:25:14,680 Speaker 1: so that's a big plus. I'll tell you two things 2938 02:25:14,680 --> 02:25:17,080 Speaker 1: that I keep hearing people talk about that I think 2939 02:25:17,080 --> 02:25:22,600 Speaker 1: are they're inaccurate, Like to discuss his production over the 2940 02:25:22,680 --> 02:25:25,520 Speaker 1: last few years outside of the injuries at Arizona, knowing 2941 02:25:25,600 --> 02:25:28,920 Speaker 1: that the head coach changes, the scheme changes, those are 2942 02:25:29,080 --> 02:25:32,120 Speaker 1: so detrimental to a guy like him cut from you know, 2943 02:25:32,600 --> 02:25:36,160 Speaker 1: a three true, three down back that it's it's hard 2944 02:25:36,200 --> 02:25:38,800 Speaker 1: to really lean on those numbers and give up a 2945 02:25:38,879 --> 02:25:42,200 Speaker 1: lot of notice to those numbers. And secondly, I hear 2946 02:25:42,240 --> 02:25:45,360 Speaker 1: people talk about the air raid system and him, you 2947 02:25:45,400 --> 02:25:46,840 Speaker 1: guys talked about it earlier, and you said, hell, he 2948 02:25:46,879 --> 02:25:48,520 Speaker 1: was talking a hard time getting on the field earlier. 2949 02:25:48,720 --> 02:25:50,920 Speaker 1: And I've I've always wanted I'm glad you brought up 2950 02:25:50,959 --> 02:25:53,360 Speaker 1: how how physically Fitty was and how big he was, 2951 02:25:53,800 --> 02:25:57,920 Speaker 1: because that's not your prototypical Kingsbury back air raid. Yeah, 2952 02:25:58,160 --> 02:26:01,520 Speaker 1: it's not your prototypical air raid back. Those those size 2953 02:26:01,560 --> 02:26:05,640 Speaker 1: backs with that skill set don't typically fit in the 2954 02:26:05,720 --> 02:26:08,760 Speaker 1: air raid offense. It's perfect, it's not a perfect fire. Yeah, 2955 02:26:08,800 --> 02:26:10,959 Speaker 1: it's funny. Well, I think that, like just at it's 2956 02:26:11,080 --> 02:26:14,600 Speaker 1: very basic level. And and and I want you to 2957 02:26:14,600 --> 02:26:16,520 Speaker 1: counter this because I'm sure there's a reason why, like 2958 02:26:16,560 --> 02:26:18,000 Speaker 1: at the very basic level, you go, boy, that guy 2959 02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:20,080 Speaker 1: should have thrived because he's such a great pass catcher 2960 02:26:20,080 --> 02:26:23,760 Speaker 1: out of the backfield. Yeah, why stylistically does he not 2961 02:26:23,920 --> 02:26:25,880 Speaker 1: work in that type of offense. Well, it just even 2962 02:26:25,879 --> 02:26:28,480 Speaker 1: though he's an elite pass catcher, right, Well, it's it's not. 2963 02:26:28,560 --> 02:26:30,840 Speaker 1: It's less about his ability to catch the football in 2964 02:26:30,840 --> 02:26:33,440 Speaker 1: that in that particular offense, and it's more about having 2965 02:26:33,800 --> 02:26:36,120 Speaker 1: the little jitterbug back that that can get through the 2966 02:26:36,120 --> 02:26:38,680 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage in one quick So that's what I thought. 2967 02:26:38,720 --> 02:26:41,400 Speaker 1: The Remember the Keen Grant kid that was a really 2968 02:26:41,400 --> 02:26:43,160 Speaker 1: a receiver at Texas Tech, but he ended up playing 2969 02:26:43,160 --> 02:26:45,400 Speaker 1: some running. Yeah, yeah, I mean those are the types 2970 02:26:45,440 --> 02:26:47,360 Speaker 1: of backs that he us. He gets an opportunity to 2971 02:26:47,440 --> 02:26:50,480 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake a little bit smaller, more of a burst back, 2972 02:26:50,560 --> 02:26:52,920 Speaker 1: that's a straight line back that can when the box 2973 02:26:53,000 --> 02:26:54,879 Speaker 1: is light, but when he hits that crease and he's 2974 02:26:54,920 --> 02:26:58,200 Speaker 1: off to the races. That's just the back that they 2975 02:26:58,240 --> 02:27:01,360 Speaker 1: they typically that typically feature in that offense and has 2976 02:27:01,440 --> 02:27:03,480 Speaker 1: success in that offense. You think about when was the 2977 02:27:03,560 --> 02:27:05,720 Speaker 1: last time Texas Tech had that, because that's that's the 2978 02:27:05,720 --> 02:27:07,760 Speaker 1: team that's always done air raid. Look at the backs 2979 02:27:07,760 --> 02:27:09,800 Speaker 1: back when Leeching those boys were at Kentucky with how 2980 02:27:09,879 --> 02:27:12,360 Speaker 1: mummy Yeah, I mean, like Byron hanspart, it's probably the 2981 02:27:12,400 --> 02:27:13,879 Speaker 1: last one they had that was kind of like a 2982 02:27:14,240 --> 02:27:16,960 Speaker 1: like a you know, even remotely bigger than just a 2983 02:27:17,000 --> 02:27:18,800 Speaker 1: scat back. Yeah. I mean you're talking six two two 2984 02:27:18,920 --> 02:27:21,800 Speaker 1: thirty built like a brick out house. Nobody. Those just 2985 02:27:21,840 --> 02:27:24,720 Speaker 1: aren't typically air raid types of guys. I'm trying to 2986 02:27:24,720 --> 02:27:26,240 Speaker 1: think who in the hill was at A and M 2987 02:27:26,240 --> 02:27:28,840 Speaker 1: with Johnny Manziel and kings I know Carson was there 2988 02:27:28,840 --> 02:27:30,960 Speaker 1: and he was a little thicker back. Christian Michael was 2989 02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:33,600 Speaker 1: he there at the time, Yeah, yeah, But but you 2990 02:27:33,800 --> 02:27:36,000 Speaker 1: just think about what really fits the air raid system. 2991 02:27:36,040 --> 02:27:39,280 Speaker 1: It's that smaller, quicker back and everything. I hear you 2992 02:27:39,440 --> 02:27:42,240 Speaker 1: explaining that you're seeing from David Johnson at practice that 2993 02:27:42,320 --> 02:27:46,680 Speaker 1: that's opening everybody's eyes. Is a six two two thirty 2994 02:27:46,720 --> 02:27:50,200 Speaker 1: that has that agility and burst that's just not typically 2995 02:27:50,240 --> 02:27:53,400 Speaker 1: the guy you see excel in Cliff Kingsbury's offense. So 2996 02:27:53,440 --> 02:27:56,440 Speaker 1: I say all that to say, it's not a surprise 2997 02:27:56,520 --> 02:27:58,760 Speaker 1: that he didn't have a three year run when when 2998 02:27:58,760 --> 02:28:01,280 Speaker 1: there were three different head coaches in Arizona that's worth 2999 02:28:01,320 --> 02:28:03,360 Speaker 1: talking about. It's not a surprise that he had a 3000 02:28:03,400 --> 02:28:06,080 Speaker 1: hard time after being injured. Initially with a new system 3001 02:28:06,080 --> 02:28:08,120 Speaker 1: being implemented when he was injured, and then it's not 3002 02:28:08,160 --> 02:28:09,840 Speaker 1: a surprise that he didn't get plugged right in as 3003 02:28:09,879 --> 02:28:11,879 Speaker 1: a starter in an air raid offense because he's not 3004 02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:16,400 Speaker 1: he's not really that perfect fit. He's a better fit here. Okay, 3005 02:28:16,440 --> 02:28:18,200 Speaker 1: then he was there for sure. Well that's why I's 3006 02:28:18,200 --> 02:28:20,080 Speaker 1: gonna How good a fit is he better? I mean, 3007 02:28:20,080 --> 02:28:22,240 Speaker 1: it sounds like he'd be a better fit anywhere than there. 3008 02:28:22,240 --> 02:28:24,119 Speaker 1: How good a fit is he here? I think he's 3009 02:28:24,160 --> 02:28:27,680 Speaker 1: a really really good fit here. If if they use 3010 02:28:27,760 --> 02:28:30,640 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson in the run game the way that they should, 3011 02:28:30,879 --> 02:28:33,840 Speaker 1: He's a guy that if if a backside defensive end 3012 02:28:33,920 --> 02:28:36,600 Speaker 1: has to has to first check Deshan and make sure 3013 02:28:36,959 --> 02:28:38,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the ball, he's not keeping it out 3014 02:28:38,800 --> 02:28:41,520 Speaker 1: the back door, then you've got a back that can 3015 02:28:41,560 --> 02:28:43,800 Speaker 1: get down downhill in a hurry. You've got a back 3016 02:28:43,840 --> 02:28:46,879 Speaker 1: that can play between the tackles. At six two two thirty, um, 3017 02:28:47,400 --> 02:28:49,320 Speaker 1: I think you've got a back that's primed to have 3018 02:28:49,360 --> 02:28:51,600 Speaker 1: a big year barring some kind of injury. He's a 3019 02:28:51,640 --> 02:28:54,600 Speaker 1: really really good fit in the Texans offense with a 3020 02:28:54,600 --> 02:28:56,520 Speaker 1: lot of the zone, the zone schemes that they do 3021 02:28:56,560 --> 02:28:59,640 Speaker 1: that they don't do any any They're not zone heavy, 3022 02:28:59,720 --> 02:29:02,640 Speaker 1: but Deshaun Watson, they should be zone read heavy. The 3023 02:29:02,640 --> 02:29:05,760 Speaker 1: other big winner yesterday in terms of players who either 3024 02:29:05,879 --> 02:29:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, came in and made an impression, came back 3025 02:29:07,879 --> 02:29:10,320 Speaker 1: in shape, made an impression. Jordan Thomas, who came in 3026 02:29:10,320 --> 02:29:12,720 Speaker 1: out of shape last year, came in in really good 3027 02:29:12,760 --> 02:29:16,400 Speaker 1: shape this year, made some plays at practice yesterday, and 3028 02:29:16,640 --> 02:29:18,760 Speaker 1: that tight end competition is going to be very interesting. 3029 02:29:18,800 --> 02:29:21,800 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and Jordan Thomas. I mean, he has every day. 3030 02:29:21,840 --> 02:29:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean he can play outside, inside, blocking, shrod, intermmediate routes, long, 3031 02:29:27,160 --> 02:29:28,879 Speaker 1: and he has the size, he has the speed has 3032 02:29:28,920 --> 02:29:32,080 Speaker 1: been sixty six, you know, two fifty five that can 3033 02:29:32,160 --> 02:29:34,160 Speaker 1: run up four or five for six. So you know, 3034 02:29:34,240 --> 02:29:36,680 Speaker 1: he's a guy that's very talent. They had so much potential. 3035 02:29:36,800 --> 02:29:38,959 Speaker 1: He's been working. You can tell he came back ready 3036 02:29:39,080 --> 02:29:41,560 Speaker 1: prepared for this this count and you know he's ready 3037 02:29:41,600 --> 02:29:43,760 Speaker 1: to go. So whenever you get his opportunity, I'm definitely 3038 02:29:43,800 --> 02:29:45,959 Speaker 1: gonna give him a shot. And he's been, you know, 3039 02:29:46,040 --> 02:29:49,400 Speaker 1: capitalizing on those. There's a reason why Jordan Thomas was 3040 02:29:49,480 --> 02:29:51,920 Speaker 1: the very first thing Deshaun Watson was asked about yesterday. 3041 02:29:51,959 --> 02:29:55,280 Speaker 1: After that was the Deshaun Watson answered fourteen questions yesterday 3042 02:29:55,280 --> 02:29:57,080 Speaker 1: in his press conference. The first one he was asked 3043 02:29:57,080 --> 02:29:59,480 Speaker 1: was about Jordan Thomas. Yeah, look, this is a kid 3044 02:29:59,560 --> 02:30:04,480 Speaker 1: that there's he hasn't necessarily planted his flag in Houston 3045 02:30:04,520 --> 02:30:07,720 Speaker 1: as a staple tight end. But it's not because his ability. 3046 02:30:07,800 --> 02:30:09,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it's because maybe he was a little out 3047 02:30:09,959 --> 02:30:11,640 Speaker 1: of shape, a little bit bigger than they wanted to be. 3048 02:30:11,680 --> 02:30:13,879 Speaker 1: But he appears to have taken things seriously, matured to 3049 02:30:13,920 --> 02:30:16,720 Speaker 1: the level of coming in in shape, and he is 3050 02:30:16,720 --> 02:30:19,560 Speaker 1: an absolute freak. He'll be an absolute freak. He'll be 3051 02:30:19,520 --> 02:30:22,720 Speaker 1: an absolut orterback's best friend if he can figure out 3052 02:30:23,080 --> 02:30:25,640 Speaker 1: how to not disappoint the coaches, how to stay healthy 3053 02:30:25,879 --> 02:30:29,080 Speaker 1: and getting that consistently be available to Shaun Watson. This 3054 02:30:29,160 --> 02:30:31,840 Speaker 1: is a guy that could be a physical matchup problem 3055 02:30:32,440 --> 02:30:36,000 Speaker 1: for defensive coordinators, which you're gonna miss because Hopkins was 3056 02:30:36,040 --> 02:30:38,000 Speaker 1: that guy. Yes, it didn't matter what the hell they did, 3057 02:30:38,080 --> 02:30:40,680 Speaker 1: Hopkins was going to win the physical matchup in the 3058 02:30:40,680 --> 02:30:43,200 Speaker 1: red zone on third downs. The textans are gonna miss that. 3059 02:30:44,000 --> 02:30:46,680 Speaker 1: I just think Jordan Thomas is a guy that will 3060 02:30:46,760 --> 02:30:50,920 Speaker 1: give you a physical of physical dominance in the pass 3061 02:30:50,959 --> 02:30:52,600 Speaker 1: game that you're not going to find anywhere else with 3062 02:30:52,640 --> 02:30:55,360 Speaker 1: all these these undersized speed guys. That's a really good point. 3063 02:30:55,400 --> 02:30:57,680 Speaker 1: It's funny you say undersized speed guys because I remember 3064 02:30:57,680 --> 02:31:01,000 Speaker 1: one of the things I jotted down, like this is 3065 02:31:01,000 --> 02:31:04,200 Speaker 1: the very second note I jotted down right after Nick 3066 02:31:04,200 --> 02:31:06,480 Speaker 1: Martin's wearing a T shirt under his jersey. No washboard 3067 02:31:06,480 --> 02:31:08,560 Speaker 1: abs seth um. These are the type of notes you 3068 02:31:08,600 --> 02:31:11,560 Speaker 1: get from Sean Pendergass. But I put Fuller looks much 3069 02:31:11,640 --> 02:31:14,480 Speaker 1: bigger compared to Cooks and Cop, Like that's a Fuller's 3070 02:31:14,480 --> 02:31:17,080 Speaker 1: a smaller wide receiver by NFL standards, right, Yeah, the 3071 02:31:17,080 --> 02:31:18,640 Speaker 1: three of them are standing next to each other. I'm like, 3072 02:31:18,800 --> 02:31:22,200 Speaker 1: did will Fuller growth three inches? Like? Is he like fifteen? 3073 02:31:22,240 --> 02:31:24,280 Speaker 1: And he went through a growth spurt? Like he looks 3074 02:31:24,440 --> 02:31:28,080 Speaker 1: noticeably bigger than Cooks and Cop And those are their 3075 02:31:28,120 --> 02:31:30,440 Speaker 1: top three guys right there. So you're right, there's different 3076 02:31:30,440 --> 02:31:33,160 Speaker 1: ways to skin a cat. Physicality at the wide receiver 3077 02:31:33,320 --> 02:31:35,120 Speaker 1: position will no longer be one of the ways that 3078 02:31:35,160 --> 02:31:37,280 Speaker 1: the cat gets skinned with the Houston Texans, that's right, 3079 02:31:37,320 --> 02:31:39,800 Speaker 1: And it'll it'll show it's it'll show it in the 3080 02:31:39,840 --> 02:31:42,959 Speaker 1: red zone in third down situations where team's man up 3081 02:31:43,200 --> 02:31:45,560 Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to find either Tim Kelly's going 3082 02:31:45,600 --> 02:31:47,040 Speaker 1: to be a hell of a schemer in those situations 3083 02:31:47,040 --> 02:31:49,959 Speaker 1: which he can be with David Johnson, or a guy 3084 02:31:50,000 --> 02:31:53,359 Speaker 1: like Jordan Thomas is going to have to be a physical, 3085 02:31:53,560 --> 02:31:56,160 Speaker 1: dominant weapon where if they match him up one on one, 3086 02:31:56,520 --> 02:31:59,320 Speaker 1: then then he can go get the rock.

That's what 3219 02:39:35,520 --> 02:39:37,600 Speaker 1: this time needs to be because if you're not having 3220 02:39:37,879 --> 02:39:40,520 Speaker 1: three hour junction boy like practices, you better have your 3221 02:39:40,520 --> 02:39:42,320 Speaker 1: asking that playbook to make sure that when you do 3222 02:39:42,320 --> 02:39:45,119 Speaker 1: those one hour walkthroughs, those are just as important as 3223 02:39:45,120 --> 02:39:47,480 Speaker 1: a second day of two day practice. Wow, that was 3224 02:39:47,520 --> 02:39:49,520 Speaker 1: gonna be my first question to you, Johnny, was that 3225 02:39:49,600 --> 02:39:52,440 Speaker 1: you're all these Zoom meetings and hell our promos all 3226 02:39:52,520 --> 02:39:54,720 Speaker 1: day or talking about the Texans are a really good 3227 02:39:54,800 --> 02:39:57,400 Speaker 1: Zoom meeting team. I was going to ask you about them. 3228 02:39:57,760 --> 02:40:00,879 Speaker 1: The importance I know it's always in important, but but 3229 02:40:01,040 --> 02:40:04,840 Speaker 1: just the level of I think deep attention to detail 3230 02:40:04,920 --> 02:40:08,640 Speaker 1: from the players, or or the lack thereof because of 3231 02:40:08,680 --> 02:40:11,400 Speaker 1: what they've been through. Um, what does that look like 3232 02:40:11,720 --> 02:40:14,240 Speaker 1: over the first couple of days of camp that you've seen. 3233 02:40:14,640 --> 02:40:16,600 Speaker 1: You know, Clint, you always thinking about that the first 3234 02:40:16,640 --> 02:40:18,600 Speaker 1: few days of training camp. Now I will admit they 3235 02:40:18,600 --> 02:40:21,959 Speaker 1: they because they had. If you know, they've basically took 3236 02:40:22,000 --> 02:40:24,119 Speaker 1: the off season and put it into about a week 3237 02:40:24,160 --> 02:40:26,080 Speaker 1: and a half before we actually saw them. They've been 3238 02:40:26,080 --> 02:40:27,640 Speaker 1: at this for a little bit, so they've been working 3239 02:40:27,680 --> 02:40:30,320 Speaker 1: some of the kinks out through the walkthroughs and through 3240 02:40:30,600 --> 02:40:32,920 Speaker 1: kind of a mini Camp ot E sort of thing 3241 02:40:32,959 --> 02:40:35,400 Speaker 1: before we saw them in pads. But Clint, one of 3242 02:40:35,400 --> 02:40:37,720 Speaker 1: the things when you went through a practice, I know 3243 02:40:37,800 --> 02:40:40,320 Speaker 1: you as a quarterback, and you spend it time under center. 3244 02:40:40,879 --> 02:40:43,800 Speaker 1: You know the one thing that coaches always grape on Danny. 3245 02:40:43,840 --> 02:40:45,520 Speaker 1: We can't even get the center snap. Why do we 3246 02:40:45,600 --> 02:40:48,560 Speaker 1: keep false starting the things that you can control that 3247 02:40:48,680 --> 02:40:55,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't be deterrence in practice to executing your playbook, those 3248 02:40:55,080 --> 02:40:58,800 Speaker 1: things they seemingly are not letting happen. I haven't seen 3249 02:40:58,840 --> 02:41:01,320 Speaker 1: a drop snap. I saw one bad snap today and 3250 02:41:01,360 --> 02:41:03,600 Speaker 1: that's the first in two days that was not Nick 3251 02:41:03,680 --> 02:41:05,360 Speaker 1: mart I don't remember who that was at center. I 3252 02:41:05,400 --> 02:41:09,920 Speaker 1: saw one offside penalty yesterday. I saw one false start yesterday, 3253 02:41:09,959 --> 02:41:11,920 Speaker 1: one false start today. And my point in all that 3254 02:41:12,120 --> 02:41:16,000 Speaker 1: is they're clean and they're crisp. Now it's a veteran 3255 02:41:16,160 --> 02:41:19,640 Speaker 1: they're veteran groups on both sides. But you can see 3256 02:41:20,000 --> 02:41:23,200 Speaker 1: that players seemingly are retaining like I'm staying on the sidelines. 3257 02:41:23,200 --> 02:41:24,560 Speaker 1: You can see them come over and they're talking to 3258 02:41:24,600 --> 02:41:27,480 Speaker 1: one another. I have not heard any of them say 3259 02:41:27,480 --> 02:41:29,400 Speaker 1: to one another that was my bad. I thought we 3260 02:41:29,400 --> 02:41:31,000 Speaker 1: were in this coverager. I don't know what I'm doing. 3261 02:41:31,320 --> 02:41:33,920 Speaker 1: They are. They seemingly have put a lot of time 3262 02:41:34,080 --> 02:41:37,400 Speaker 1: the players have into the playbook knowing what they're doing. 3263 02:41:37,560 --> 02:41:39,520 Speaker 1: And yes there are two different play cars and offense 3264 02:41:39,560 --> 02:41:42,000 Speaker 1: and defense, there's still a lot of similarities in the 3265 02:41:42,080 --> 02:41:45,600 Speaker 1: verbiage and some of the things that they're adding to it. 3266 02:41:45,720 --> 02:41:49,040 Speaker 1: You can tell they're adding those in I don't wanna 3267 02:41:49,040 --> 02:41:52,840 Speaker 1: say slowly, but doing it in a in a COVID 3268 02:41:52,920 --> 02:41:56,120 Speaker 1: nineteen zoom meeting like manner. So they're making everybody a 3269 02:41:56,160 --> 02:41:59,560 Speaker 1: little bit more comfortable. I just haven't seen the busting 3270 02:41:59,640 --> 02:42:03,120 Speaker 1: cover or you know, the bad snaps, ugly stuff that 3271 02:42:03,200 --> 02:42:06,280 Speaker 1: you see in training camp. Now, once you go outside 3272 02:42:06,400 --> 02:42:09,200 Speaker 1: and it's one hundred degrees and now you're fatigue, Okay, 3273 02:42:09,280 --> 02:42:11,800 Speaker 1: now we're gonna start to see how you handle all 3274 02:42:11,800 --> 02:42:14,520 Speaker 1: of that, but inside it's been pretty clean thus far. Clint, 3275 02:42:14,560 --> 02:42:18,879 Speaker 1: I've been really really happy from that perspective that it 3276 02:42:18,959 --> 02:42:22,160 Speaker 1: appears that, you know, guys are really kind of taking 3277 02:42:22,200 --> 02:42:25,800 Speaker 1: that too. Now the rookies. I could see on a 3278 02:42:25,800 --> 02:42:27,800 Speaker 1: couple of the rookies, the head spending a little bit. 3279 02:42:28,040 --> 02:42:31,520 Speaker 1: There was one time that John Grenard they wanted they 3280 02:42:31,520 --> 02:42:33,320 Speaker 1: wanted to do something with Grenard, and we was like, 3281 02:42:33,360 --> 02:42:35,480 Speaker 1: go ahead, like Grennard knew what to do, but it 3282 02:42:35,560 --> 02:42:37,360 Speaker 1: was like, are you sure. He kept kind of looking 3283 02:42:37,400 --> 02:42:39,400 Speaker 1: at We were like, are you sure, He's like yes, yes, 3284 02:42:39,440 --> 02:42:41,440 Speaker 1: and he kept looking at him like like he kept 3285 02:42:41,440 --> 02:42:44,240 Speaker 1: pointing to his spot, like is this it? And Grennard 3286 02:42:44,400 --> 02:42:46,440 Speaker 1: was like yes, but he wasn't. So it's some of 3287 02:42:46,440 --> 02:42:48,360 Speaker 1: those things they gotta get over. But I think they'll 3288 02:42:48,360 --> 02:42:50,560 Speaker 1: eventually get comfortable with everything. And I'll tell you this, 3289 02:42:50,800 --> 02:42:52,440 Speaker 1: and I know you'll ask about it at some point, 3290 02:42:52,840 --> 02:42:55,800 Speaker 1: but there's been always talking about, oh, veterans, veterans, veterans, 3291 02:42:55,840 --> 02:42:57,080 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a veteran team, and it is. 3292 02:42:57,080 --> 02:43:00,200 Speaker 1: It's gonna be dominated by veterans. But I'm just telling 3293 02:43:00,280 --> 02:43:02,520 Speaker 1: you right now what I've seen from these three rookies 3294 02:43:02,959 --> 02:43:09,440 Speaker 1: size wise, physicality wise, build, twitch, quickness, power, Blacklock, Grenard, 3295 02:43:09,480 --> 02:43:11,520 Speaker 1: and Reid will find a way to impact this team 3296 02:43:11,520 --> 02:43:13,720 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. I don't know when, I don't know 3297 02:43:13,760 --> 02:43:16,279 Speaker 1: exactly win, but I'm telling you those three will impact 3298 02:43:16,280 --> 02:43:17,880 Speaker 1: this team in some way, shape or four. Yeah, they 3299 02:43:17,879 --> 02:43:20,039 Speaker 1: fit in, Johnny, I'm with you. Having watched practice the 3300 02:43:20,080 --> 02:43:22,440 Speaker 1: last couple, I'm like, who's thirty four? Like he, oh, yeah, 3301 02:43:22,440 --> 02:43:24,640 Speaker 1: that's John Reid. He like, Okay, he looks you know, 3302 02:43:24,640 --> 02:43:27,120 Speaker 1: he's he's the one on one drills, he's running right 3303 02:43:27,160 --> 02:43:29,920 Speaker 1: with guys and things like that. You're You're absolutely right, 3304 02:43:30,360 --> 02:43:33,720 Speaker 1: Johnny Clinton. I have spent a number of minutes here 3305 02:43:33,720 --> 02:43:35,960 Speaker 1: talking about Deshaun Watson, and I heard you talking on 3306 02:43:35,959 --> 02:43:39,240 Speaker 1: Texans Radio last night about just how in control Deshaun 3307 02:43:39,360 --> 02:43:41,600 Speaker 1: is of every like this is his show now. So 3308 02:43:41,720 --> 02:43:44,560 Speaker 1: my question is actually, non Watson, of the of the 3309 02:43:44,720 --> 02:43:47,920 Speaker 1: non Watson things that you saw the first two days, 3310 02:43:48,280 --> 02:43:53,320 Speaker 1: what should Texan fans be most excited about. Oh, I mean, 3311 02:43:54,400 --> 02:43:56,080 Speaker 1: the first one that comes to mind is one I 3312 02:43:56,120 --> 02:43:57,920 Speaker 1: don't even really want to talk about because I'm sure 3313 02:43:57,920 --> 02:44:00,520 Speaker 1: if coach O'Brien's listening, he'll kill me. But I don't 3314 02:44:00,520 --> 02:44:03,640 Speaker 1: want to get killed. Now he would get mad at 3315 02:44:03,640 --> 02:44:05,600 Speaker 1: me for something else, I'm sure, but uh, but I 3316 02:44:05,640 --> 02:44:08,959 Speaker 1: love him to death because I love Ross Blacklock. Man. 3317 02:44:09,400 --> 02:44:13,160 Speaker 1: I love him. I'd listen. You know, Clinton, You and 3318 02:44:13,200 --> 02:44:15,480 Speaker 1: I and Show talked about this back during the draft, 3319 02:44:15,520 --> 02:44:17,600 Speaker 1: and I'll never I'll never forget this. We were talking 3320 02:44:17,640 --> 02:44:19,640 Speaker 1: about who it was that we wanted in the draft. 3321 02:44:19,680 --> 02:44:21,800 Speaker 1: Who did we want in the draft? And I said 3322 02:44:21,800 --> 02:44:23,960 Speaker 1: I wanted a guy like Marlon Davidson because I had 3323 02:44:24,000 --> 02:44:26,959 Speaker 1: seen Davidson from Auburn. I had seen him at the 3324 02:44:27,000 --> 02:44:30,000 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, and I knew he had some inside outside capabilities, 3325 02:44:30,800 --> 02:44:32,920 Speaker 1: but the way he was built. I remember seeing him 3326 02:44:32,920 --> 02:44:34,640 Speaker 1: at Senior Bowl standing next to him, like, dude, this 3327 02:44:34,720 --> 02:44:37,880 Speaker 1: dude's built a little different man. We didn't have that 3328 02:44:37,920 --> 02:44:41,600 Speaker 1: opportunity to see Ross Blacklock up close and personal. We didn't. 3329 02:44:41,640 --> 02:44:43,320 Speaker 1: We had We had left the combine by the day 3330 02:44:43,360 --> 02:44:46,360 Speaker 1: that the defensive line arrived, and then of course his 3331 02:44:46,560 --> 02:44:48,760 Speaker 1: pro day was wiped out. But he did have a 3332 02:44:48,840 --> 02:44:52,040 Speaker 1: chance to meet with the Texans. I stood next to Blacklock. 3333 02:44:52,080 --> 02:44:54,600 Speaker 1: I was probably my connection was probably going off because 3334 02:44:54,600 --> 02:44:56,280 Speaker 1: I thought it was six feet but maybe I was 3335 02:44:56,280 --> 02:44:58,920 Speaker 1: a little close. I don't know. Blacklock's not built like 3336 02:44:58,920 --> 02:45:00,840 Speaker 1: anybody that Texans have. You know, since they've gone into 3337 02:45:00,879 --> 02:45:02,720 Speaker 1: the three four, they essentially have kind of had like 3338 02:45:02,720 --> 02:45:05,880 Speaker 1: two body types basically kind of the six five six six, 3339 02:45:05,959 --> 02:45:08,400 Speaker 1: three hundred pounders like JJ. You know, guys like Joel 3340 02:45:08,400 --> 02:45:11,160 Speaker 1: Heath have come in, you know, played that spot, or 3341 02:45:11,200 --> 02:45:14,400 Speaker 1: they've had you know, guys like Brandon Done, DJ Reader 3342 02:45:14,560 --> 02:45:17,800 Speaker 1: a little bit shorter, stouter types. Blacklocks kind of in 3343 02:45:17,879 --> 02:45:21,240 Speaker 1: between them. Who he reminds me of Who he reminds 3344 02:45:21,280 --> 02:45:24,560 Speaker 1: me of, who he remo physically is Robert Kimdici from 3345 02:45:24,560 --> 02:45:26,480 Speaker 1: Ole miss who ended up going to the Cardinal. Now, 3346 02:45:26,520 --> 02:45:29,080 Speaker 1: Kimdici had all kinds off the field issues, and that's 3347 02:45:29,080 --> 02:45:31,160 Speaker 1: why he never made it. He was more about being 3348 02:45:31,240 --> 02:45:33,400 Speaker 1: Robert Kimdici than he was about being a big time 3349 02:45:33,440 --> 02:45:35,200 Speaker 1: football player. I don't know if you ever loved the game, 3350 02:45:35,240 --> 02:45:37,680 Speaker 1: and so that was an issue, and so he never 3351 02:45:37,720 --> 02:45:40,840 Speaker 1: really found a home. But what about kim Dici I 3352 02:45:40,840 --> 02:45:46,080 Speaker 1: always loved was how he was built and how agile 3353 02:45:46,160 --> 02:45:48,720 Speaker 1: he was on his feet. He was always on his toes. 3354 02:45:49,240 --> 02:45:51,760 Speaker 1: Blacklock is that same way. And I just remember him 3355 02:45:51,760 --> 02:45:54,279 Speaker 1: coming on the sideline. I looked at him and went, Dad, Gum, 3356 02:45:54,280 --> 02:45:56,400 Speaker 1: you went in the second round. Bro. I just never 3357 02:45:56,440 --> 02:45:59,240 Speaker 1: thought that they would have an opportunity. So when Show 3358 02:45:59,360 --> 02:46:01,760 Speaker 1: and Clinton asked me about him, I never really talked 3359 02:46:01,760 --> 02:46:03,240 Speaker 1: about him because I had him going in the top 3360 02:46:03,280 --> 02:46:06,279 Speaker 1: twenty and I was like, there's no way he's getting forty, 3361 02:46:06,560 --> 02:46:08,600 Speaker 1: No way, And then he ends up getting to forty 3362 02:46:08,640 --> 02:46:12,240 Speaker 1: to the Texans, and I think in due time, in 3363 02:46:12,360 --> 02:46:15,240 Speaker 1: due time, Ross Blacklock is gonna have an opportunity to 3364 02:46:15,280 --> 02:46:19,280 Speaker 1: make a significant impact, and he could ultimately because of 3365 02:46:19,680 --> 02:46:22,800 Speaker 1: his twitch, in his explosiveness, in the way that he plays, 3366 02:46:23,200 --> 02:46:25,879 Speaker 1: he may force the Texans defense to do some different 3367 02:46:25,920 --> 02:46:29,920 Speaker 1: things to take advantage of his skills that he can 3368 02:46:29,959 --> 02:46:32,080 Speaker 1: then utilize, maybe a little bit better than some of 3369 02:46:32,080 --> 02:46:33,680 Speaker 1: the other guys that have been here for a few years. 3370 02:46:33,680 --> 02:46:35,440 Speaker 1: So it's kind of intriguing to see what they can 3371 02:46:35,440 --> 02:46:38,520 Speaker 1: do with Ross Blacklock. But look did the new guys. 3372 02:46:38,560 --> 02:46:41,760 Speaker 1: When you watch Randall Cobb run his routes in this slot, 3373 02:46:41,800 --> 02:46:44,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's almost intoxicating. It's just like 3374 02:46:45,120 --> 02:46:47,720 Speaker 1: he puts on a one basketball clinic. He just heats 3375 02:46:47,720 --> 02:46:50,560 Speaker 1: you with that hesitation crossover like he did today. He 3376 02:46:50,600 --> 02:46:52,320 Speaker 1: had one on one I can't remember who was against, 3377 02:46:52,840 --> 02:46:55,600 Speaker 1: but he had that little hesitation crossover and as soon 3378 02:46:55,640 --> 02:46:58,800 Speaker 1: as he broke back to the inside and had separation 3379 02:46:59,120 --> 02:47:00,680 Speaker 1: de Sean I think it was the shot has hit 3380 02:47:00,760 --> 02:47:05,560 Speaker 1: him with the ball and yeah, I remember, I mean, 3381 02:47:05,920 --> 02:47:07,879 Speaker 1: and he knows. And that's the thing. You watched that 3382 02:47:07,920 --> 02:47:10,039 Speaker 1: and you're like, damn, man. I mean it's like, you know, 3383 02:47:10,080 --> 02:47:12,760 Speaker 1: the professor and one putting on a clinic and that's 3384 02:47:12,800 --> 02:47:15,560 Speaker 1: just I mean that that's fun. But um, yeah, I 3385 02:47:15,600 --> 02:47:17,039 Speaker 1: think you know, those are a few things. Look this 3386 02:47:17,080 --> 02:47:18,840 Speaker 1: tight end group you guys are talking about a little bit, 3387 02:47:18,959 --> 02:47:21,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna be an interesting group. Jordan Thomas is not 3388 02:47:21,640 --> 02:47:23,960 Speaker 1: going away anytime soon. Jordan Nakins made a great one 3389 02:47:23,959 --> 02:47:26,760 Speaker 1: hand catch today. Darren Fells is is the og that 3390 02:47:26,800 --> 02:47:29,360 Speaker 1: they all love. And we gotta see Colly Waren's gonna 3391 02:47:29,360 --> 02:47:30,959 Speaker 1: get in this mix. He's got to get in this 3392 02:47:31,000 --> 02:47:34,320 Speaker 1: mix and contribute. But man, Jordan Thomas, I can guarantee 3393 02:47:34,360 --> 02:47:36,040 Speaker 1: you that Jordan Thomas is just getting a normal the 3394 02:47:36,120 --> 02:47:39,080 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Saw what Darren Fells did last year, 3395 02:47:39,360 --> 02:47:41,360 Speaker 1: it was like, bro, that that should have been mine. 3396 02:47:41,600 --> 02:47:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my act together. I'm gonna slim down 3397 02:47:43,480 --> 02:47:44,879 Speaker 1: a little bit. I'm gonna get my weight where it 3398 02:47:44,920 --> 02:47:46,440 Speaker 1: needs to be, and I'm gonna put on a show 3399 02:47:46,440 --> 02:47:48,600 Speaker 1: and make sure everybody remembers. Man. I think Jordan Thomas 3400 02:47:48,640 --> 02:47:50,720 Speaker 1: is trying to do that in this camp thus far. 3401 02:47:50,959 --> 02:47:52,680 Speaker 1: Damn it, Johnny, you hit so much. I want to 3402 02:47:52,720 --> 02:47:54,280 Speaker 1: talk to you about Randall Cob I want to talk 3403 02:47:54,280 --> 02:47:57,360 Speaker 1: to you about Jordan Thomas. Let's go, but I'm gonna 3404 02:47:57,360 --> 02:47:58,720 Speaker 1: go back to the defensive of the football for a 3405 02:47:58,720 --> 02:48:01,720 Speaker 1: minute because Duke age four went down. And I know 3406 02:48:01,800 --> 02:48:04,920 Speaker 1: Duke is not Wooden starting rotation, but he was one 3407 02:48:04,920 --> 02:48:07,600 Speaker 1: of those guys that you go if if this kid 3408 02:48:07,640 --> 02:48:10,959 Speaker 1: can stay and become a contributor. Boy, there's a really 3409 02:48:11,040 --> 02:48:15,240 Speaker 1: high ceiling there athletically. We heard Bill O'Brien talk earlier 3410 02:48:15,280 --> 02:48:18,040 Speaker 1: about I was listening to Sean and Seth earlier in 3411 02:48:18,080 --> 02:48:20,560 Speaker 1: the day and they I believe he played some Bill 3412 02:48:20,560 --> 02:48:22,680 Speaker 1: O'Brien audio where he said, Hey, it's it's not about 3413 02:48:22,879 --> 02:48:25,680 Speaker 1: finding another guy that can do Duke edge of four things. 3414 02:48:25,680 --> 02:48:27,480 Speaker 1: It's about taking the guys that we have that are 3415 02:48:27,480 --> 02:48:30,480 Speaker 1: healthy and doing what they do best. I just heard 3416 02:48:30,520 --> 02:48:35,039 Speaker 1: you John Harris talk about, Hey, Anthony Weaver may be 3417 02:48:35,120 --> 02:48:37,560 Speaker 1: able to do some different things with Blacklock because of 3418 02:48:37,600 --> 02:48:40,279 Speaker 1: his skill set. How different is that on the defensive 3419 02:48:40,280 --> 02:48:43,440 Speaker 1: side of the football this year with Weaver versus what 3420 02:48:43,560 --> 02:48:46,800 Speaker 1: you've heard in the past with Romeo Cornell. Yeah, I 3421 02:48:46,920 --> 02:48:49,920 Speaker 1: think that that Weave is gonna try and balance the two. 3422 02:48:50,480 --> 02:48:54,160 Speaker 1: I think that my guess would be that Bill sat 3423 02:48:54,200 --> 02:48:56,040 Speaker 1: down and said, look, we've this is what I want 3424 02:48:56,040 --> 02:48:58,440 Speaker 1: to be able to do. I think they want to 3425 02:48:58,480 --> 02:49:01,280 Speaker 1: be able to take pieces of Romeo Cornell is one 3426 02:49:01,280 --> 02:49:03,160 Speaker 1: of the great defensive coordinators of all time, and he 3427 02:49:03,240 --> 02:49:05,800 Speaker 1: put together some really good defenses here with the Texans. 3428 02:49:06,000 --> 02:49:08,320 Speaker 1: I think last year there were times where the personnel 3429 02:49:08,320 --> 02:49:09,840 Speaker 1: didn't quite match up. You know, you go up to 3430 02:49:09,840 --> 02:49:13,400 Speaker 1: Indianapolis and the corners are all dead and JJ has 3431 02:49:13,400 --> 02:49:15,800 Speaker 1: a tremendous game, but it didn't matter because the corners 3432 02:49:15,840 --> 02:49:18,080 Speaker 1: were all lost in coverage because there were all guys 3433 02:49:18,080 --> 02:49:20,200 Speaker 1: that were from the practice squad basically, And then there 3434 02:49:20,200 --> 02:49:22,360 Speaker 1: were times when the coverage guys were all there, but 3435 02:49:22,400 --> 02:49:24,600 Speaker 1: then JJ's on ir. So I think if you have 3436 02:49:24,640 --> 02:49:27,240 Speaker 1: an opportunity to put it all together, maybe it looks 3437 02:49:27,240 --> 02:49:30,080 Speaker 1: a little better. But I just think what you have 3438 02:49:30,240 --> 02:49:36,039 Speaker 1: defensively with Weaver is I think he is. He is 3439 02:49:36,040 --> 02:49:39,480 Speaker 1: gonna He's not to say Rack wasn't, But I think 3440 02:49:39,520 --> 02:49:42,040 Speaker 1: Weave isn't scared. And I think that's the big thing 3441 02:49:42,040 --> 02:49:43,680 Speaker 1: you think of first year play car, like, oh man, 3442 02:49:43,680 --> 02:49:46,280 Speaker 1: maybe he'll hold back. Hell No, I don't think he's 3443 02:49:46,280 --> 02:49:48,199 Speaker 1: gonna hold back at all. I think Weave is gonna 3444 02:49:48,200 --> 02:49:51,200 Speaker 1: find every way possible to get guys on the field 3445 02:49:51,560 --> 02:49:54,440 Speaker 1: that obviously trusts and that he could do some different 3446 02:49:54,480 --> 02:49:57,000 Speaker 1: things with, Like he saw Grenard and that drilled and 3447 02:49:57,080 --> 02:49:58,680 Speaker 1: at that point, I think Grenard's with the twos and 3448 02:49:58,800 --> 02:50:01,600 Speaker 1: threes I can't remember, and Weaver is like talking to 3449 02:50:01,720 --> 02:50:05,240 Speaker 1: Grenard specifically, like you know, he wanted him to do something. 3450 02:50:05,240 --> 02:50:07,879 Speaker 1: As I'm watching it, I'm realizing, Okay, that's a little 3451 02:50:07,879 --> 02:50:09,800 Speaker 1: different than what they've done before. I'm not seeing them 3452 02:50:09,800 --> 02:50:12,680 Speaker 1: do that. And John Grenard's not isn't He isn't lined 3453 02:50:12,800 --> 02:50:14,920 Speaker 1: up where he normally would line up, if that makes 3454 02:50:14,920 --> 02:50:18,160 Speaker 1: some sense. So from that perspective, you can tell that 3455 02:50:18,800 --> 02:50:20,800 Speaker 1: Anthony's put a lot of thought and he's going to 3456 02:50:20,840 --> 02:50:24,000 Speaker 1: put a lot of thought in how do I put 3457 02:50:24,040 --> 02:50:28,200 Speaker 1: these guys together? That makes sense for what it is 3458 02:50:28,240 --> 02:50:31,200 Speaker 1: I want to do and what we can do, and 3459 02:50:31,240 --> 02:50:36,040 Speaker 1: I think Blacklock presents some different opportunities. I think Grenard does, obviously, 3460 02:50:36,160 --> 02:50:39,920 Speaker 1: JJ Watt does. How do you use Zach Cunningham in 3461 02:50:40,280 --> 02:50:43,520 Speaker 1: a different manner or a little differently than he was 3462 02:50:43,600 --> 02:50:45,879 Speaker 1: last year, or to add on to what he's already done. 3463 02:50:46,440 --> 02:50:48,720 Speaker 1: I just think there are some possibilities with what they 3464 02:50:48,760 --> 02:50:50,640 Speaker 1: have defensively. Now we gotta let it all play out, 3465 02:50:50,640 --> 02:50:54,279 Speaker 1: of course, but I think Anthony's gonna have an opportunity 3466 02:50:54,320 --> 02:50:56,560 Speaker 1: and I think known weave the way that we do, 3467 02:50:57,240 --> 02:50:59,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna look for He made a comment to me 3468 02:50:59,400 --> 02:51:01,360 Speaker 1: last year that that was funny. I was kind of 3469 02:51:01,480 --> 02:51:03,119 Speaker 1: joking with him. We're at practice and I said, hard 3470 02:51:03,160 --> 02:51:05,160 Speaker 1: things going. He's go ahead, going pretty well, going pretty well, 3471 02:51:05,480 --> 02:51:08,760 Speaker 1: and we're talking about pass rush and he goes, oh, man, uh. 3472 02:51:09,000 --> 02:51:10,440 Speaker 1: He said, you know how you feel about pass rush 3473 02:51:10,480 --> 02:51:11,879 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. And he's like, you know, 3474 02:51:12,640 --> 02:51:15,000 Speaker 1: he kind of stepped aside. He said, just doing okay, 3475 02:51:15,040 --> 02:51:17,400 Speaker 1: he's doing okay, They're all right right now. And he 3476 02:51:17,440 --> 02:51:18,800 Speaker 1: looked at me and he goes, I got a bag 3477 02:51:18,800 --> 02:51:20,080 Speaker 1: of tricks to get him there when I need to. 3478 02:51:20,520 --> 02:51:22,480 Speaker 1: And I just kind of stopped and chuckle was like 3479 02:51:22,600 --> 02:51:26,760 Speaker 1: I figured you did. So there's there's stuff there that 3480 02:51:26,840 --> 02:51:29,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure Weave is not scared to pull out when 3481 02:51:29,640 --> 02:51:32,800 Speaker 1: he needs to um against the quarterbacks that they're gonna 3482 02:51:32,840 --> 02:51:35,040 Speaker 1: have to face. Um, I don't think he's gonna want 3483 02:51:35,040 --> 02:51:37,000 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes to take a twelve step drop and not 3484 02:51:37,080 --> 02:51:39,080 Speaker 1: have anybody in his face, um like he did in 3485 02:51:39,120 --> 02:51:41,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with that big throw. So uh there. 3486 02:51:41,600 --> 02:51:44,080 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see some things, and that's what 3487 02:51:44,120 --> 02:51:46,000 Speaker 1: this period is for. I think we're gonna continue to 3488 02:51:46,000 --> 02:51:48,800 Speaker 1: see things ramp up to September tenth, So that against 3489 02:51:48,800 --> 02:51:50,959 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the Chiefs the last team in Texas saw, 3490 02:51:51,840 --> 02:51:53,760 Speaker 1: or the last team that, yeah, the Texas saw, they're 3491 02:51:53,760 --> 02:51:55,640 Speaker 1: gonna see some different things that they hadn't seen before. 3492 02:51:55,680 --> 02:51:57,760 Speaker 1: And if that's if that's before, if that takes a 3493 02:51:57,760 --> 02:51:59,800 Speaker 1: whole half for Kansas City, you have to adjust, so 3494 02:52:00,040 --> 02:52:02,520 Speaker 1: be it. That'd be great. And then they'll spend the 3495 02:52:02,520 --> 02:52:04,240 Speaker 1: second half trying to adjust to it. And hopefully the 3496 02:52:04,240 --> 02:52:05,959 Speaker 1: Texans will have a leg up on him at that point. 3497 02:52:06,000 --> 02:52:08,000 Speaker 1: But I think it's gonna happen, Clint, for sure, Johnny, 3498 02:52:08,080 --> 02:52:10,039 Speaker 1: last one before we let you go. Look, there's no 3499 02:52:10,120 --> 02:52:12,600 Speaker 1: preseason games. So Texan fans, there's a lot of new 3500 02:52:12,640 --> 02:52:14,200 Speaker 1: guys on this team, a lot of new pieces, but 3501 02:52:14,240 --> 02:52:16,240 Speaker 1: a lot of them Texan fans are familiar with. You know, 3502 02:52:16,240 --> 02:52:18,960 Speaker 1: They've they've watched David Johnson play in Arizona. They've watched 3503 02:52:18,959 --> 02:52:21,959 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks play for half the league. They've watched Randall 3504 02:52:21,959 --> 02:52:23,920 Speaker 1: cook play for And that's not his fault. He's played 3505 02:52:23,920 --> 02:52:25,280 Speaker 1: for at the league. He gets traded for a first 3506 02:52:25,320 --> 02:52:27,640 Speaker 1: or a second round pick every time. They've watched Randall 3507 02:52:27,680 --> 02:52:29,840 Speaker 1: Cobb play in Green Bay and last year in Dallas. 3508 02:52:30,240 --> 02:52:32,240 Speaker 1: Not a lot of fans familiar with Eric Murray. So 3509 02:52:32,280 --> 02:52:35,160 Speaker 1: the first chance they get to see Eric Murray is 3510 02:52:35,200 --> 02:52:38,280 Speaker 1: probably gonna be Week one of the regular season, unless 3511 02:52:38,280 --> 02:52:40,120 Speaker 1: they get game passed to go watch him in Cleveland 3512 02:52:40,160 --> 02:52:44,199 Speaker 1: or Kansas City. What should fans expect out of Eric Murray, 3513 02:52:44,280 --> 02:52:47,360 Speaker 1: the newest safety on that side of the ball that 3514 02:52:47,400 --> 02:52:50,120 Speaker 1: they signed this offseason. Well, the one thing about safeties 3515 02:52:50,120 --> 02:52:52,080 Speaker 1: and it's changed so much, Clint, you were a teammate 3516 02:52:52,440 --> 02:52:54,560 Speaker 1: of Roy Williams with the Dallas Cowboys, where you not 3517 02:52:55,440 --> 02:52:58,760 Speaker 1: He was two six one, two hundred and fifteen pounds, 3518 02:52:59,040 --> 02:53:00,800 Speaker 1: and that's kind of what we put in the vision 3519 02:53:00,840 --> 02:53:04,680 Speaker 1: of like, that's that's a safety. That's a safety'd look 3520 02:53:04,720 --> 02:53:07,600 Speaker 1: at that guy six two two twenty means Sean Taylor. 3521 02:53:07,640 --> 02:53:09,440 Speaker 1: Now he could play free safety safety too. But you 3522 02:53:09,440 --> 02:53:11,440 Speaker 1: know that's what we looked at the safeties. Safeties now 3523 02:53:11,480 --> 02:53:14,040 Speaker 1: are changing. You look at safeties around the league. Tyron 3524 02:53:14,120 --> 02:53:16,240 Speaker 1: Matthew plays safety. Use the smallest guy in our building. 3525 02:53:16,680 --> 02:53:20,040 Speaker 1: But Tyron went to safety in large part because teams 3526 02:53:20,400 --> 02:53:22,760 Speaker 1: found over the last five to seven years how to 3527 02:53:22,920 --> 02:53:25,879 Speaker 1: utilize their scheme to get safeties one on one on 3528 02:53:25,920 --> 02:53:28,360 Speaker 1: slot receivers and this, and they realize, we can't put 3529 02:53:28,360 --> 02:53:30,080 Speaker 1: a safety on this guy. We've got to put a 3530 02:53:30,080 --> 02:53:33,760 Speaker 1: guy with corner skills on this guy that can play safety. 3531 02:53:33,879 --> 02:53:35,680 Speaker 1: And that's what Eric Murray is. He was He was 3532 02:53:35,720 --> 02:53:37,720 Speaker 1: a corner in college at Minnesota, where I loved him. 3533 02:53:38,000 --> 02:53:39,680 Speaker 1: I knew he was probably not gonna play corner. I 3534 02:53:39,680 --> 02:53:42,160 Speaker 1: thought he would transition into a nickel or maybe into 3535 02:53:42,200 --> 02:53:44,400 Speaker 1: a safety slash nickel. And that's I think probab. They're 3536 02:53:44,440 --> 02:53:48,360 Speaker 1: gonna use him with Justin Reid. He is smart, He's 3537 02:53:48,400 --> 02:53:51,000 Speaker 1: got good short area quickness. I saw that yesterday he 3538 02:53:51,160 --> 02:53:53,280 Speaker 1: was off like twelve yards and zone covers and ran 3539 02:53:53,280 --> 02:53:54,760 Speaker 1: a little snagger out in front of him and he 3540 02:53:54,840 --> 02:53:57,920 Speaker 1: nearly knocked it away. A little four five yards snagger 3541 02:53:57,959 --> 02:54:01,560 Speaker 1: out to Fells and he nearly knocked it away from depth, 3542 02:54:01,600 --> 02:54:04,560 Speaker 1: and I'm like, wow, he's quick. So he's got corner skills. 3543 02:54:04,720 --> 02:54:08,160 Speaker 1: Jalen Watkins, who they signed, has corner skills. Michael Thomas, 3544 02:54:08,240 --> 02:54:10,320 Speaker 1: even though a special teamer, he's a guy that has 3545 02:54:10,320 --> 02:54:12,560 Speaker 1: corner skills. And when you stand next to these guys, 3546 02:54:12,800 --> 02:54:17,199 Speaker 1: you see corners. You don't think of the stereotypical big 3547 02:54:17,280 --> 02:54:20,240 Speaker 1: safeties like those players don't exist in the league anymore 3548 02:54:20,280 --> 02:54:22,800 Speaker 1: for the most part, or they moved to linebacker. So 3549 02:54:22,840 --> 02:54:26,120 Speaker 1: what you can expect from Eric Murray, from whoever plays 3550 02:54:26,120 --> 02:54:28,160 Speaker 1: opposite Justin Reid, it's gonna be a guy with some 3551 02:54:28,240 --> 02:54:32,000 Speaker 1: cover skills. And Murray at least has experienced in that 3552 02:54:32,160 --> 02:54:35,360 Speaker 1: realm and he's learned safety since he got into the league, 3553 02:54:35,400 --> 02:54:37,360 Speaker 1: so he's not going out there with one hand tied 3554 02:54:37,400 --> 02:54:39,560 Speaker 1: behind his back. He does have the ability to go 3555 02:54:39,560 --> 02:54:41,840 Speaker 1: out there and cover somebody one on one. I don't 3556 02:54:41,840 --> 02:54:43,480 Speaker 1: know if I want that one hundred percent of the time, 3557 02:54:43,600 --> 02:54:45,760 Speaker 1: or he'd be a corner, but at least. I know 3558 02:54:45,879 --> 02:54:49,360 Speaker 1: with certain schemes and matchups, I can put him in 3559 02:54:49,400 --> 02:54:51,520 Speaker 1: there in that cover situation, and I'm gonna feel pretty 3560 02:54:51,560 --> 02:54:53,840 Speaker 1: good about what he can do because he's got the 3561 02:54:54,160 --> 02:54:57,120 Speaker 1: quickness and the ability that you want out of a 3562 02:54:57,120 --> 02:55:00,760 Speaker 1: guy covering at safety because that position has changed so 3563 02:55:00,959 --> 02:55:04,879 Speaker 1: monumentally given the changes in NFL offense. So I think 3564 02:55:04,920 --> 02:55:07,360 Speaker 1: Derek Murray's gonna step in do a pretty solid job. 3565 02:55:07,400 --> 02:55:09,119 Speaker 1: I like what I've seen thus far, just the way 3566 02:55:09,160 --> 02:55:11,640 Speaker 1: he moves breaks on the ball. I would love to 3567 02:55:11,680 --> 02:55:13,080 Speaker 1: see him be a ball hawk in the middle of 3568 02:55:13,080 --> 02:55:14,920 Speaker 1: the field, but I don't care who it is. Somebody 3569 02:55:14,959 --> 02:55:16,600 Speaker 1: can go get the football. But he's got some corner 3570 02:55:16,600 --> 02:55:19,800 Speaker 1: skills that are definitely gonna help for this defense for sure. Yeah, 3571 02:55:19,920 --> 02:55:22,680 Speaker 1: number twenty three in your programs in case you need him. Seriously, 3572 02:55:22,720 --> 02:55:24,480 Speaker 1: Like people are gonna be like, Okay, who's number twenty 3573 02:55:24,480 --> 02:55:26,280 Speaker 1: three out there? When Week one rules around, there's no 3574 02:55:26,320 --> 02:55:28,560 Speaker 1: preseason games and a lot of folks aren't allowed to 3575 02:55:28,600 --> 02:55:31,080 Speaker 1: go to practice, so it's just a very very strange, 3576 02:55:31,520 --> 02:55:34,280 Speaker 1: strange preseason. But Johnny Football is here, and it is 3577 02:55:34,480 --> 02:55:37,440 Speaker 1: It's great, too great to have practice back in our lives. 3578 02:55:37,480 --> 02:55:39,240 Speaker 1: Great to have you on the program and great here 3579 02:55:39,240 --> 02:55:41,480 Speaker 1: in you and Mark eight to ten AM the next 3580 02:55:41,480 --> 02:55:45,039 Speaker 1: couple of weeks for Texans Training Camp Live and of 3581 02:55:45,080 --> 02:55:48,040 Speaker 1: course Texans All Access on evenings here at six o'clock 3582 02:55:48,080 --> 02:55:51,200 Speaker 1: on Sports Radio six ten, Texans Sideline reporter John Harris, Johnny, 3583 02:55:51,200 --> 02:55:53,440 Speaker 1: you're the best.

To Clint, that was a fun interview 3719 03:03:54,720 --> 03:03:58,440 Speaker 1: that you guys did with jj Watt. Um before we 3720 03:03:58,879 --> 03:04:00,720 Speaker 1: before we break down some more you guys talked about 3721 03:04:00,720 --> 03:04:05,880 Speaker 1: with them. Let's hear from jj Watt first on first 3722 03:04:05,920 --> 03:04:09,000 Speaker 1: on what the team needs to do. The Texans need 3723 03:04:09,040 --> 03:04:11,400 Speaker 1: to do to get to the ACMC Championship game, get 3724 03:04:11,400 --> 03:04:13,200 Speaker 1: further than they've been in the playoffs in the history 3725 03:04:13,200 --> 03:04:15,480 Speaker 1: of their team, squaring more points than all the teams 3726 03:04:15,480 --> 03:04:20,560 Speaker 1: we place, and win more games. Yes, that's correct. I mean, 3727 03:04:21,120 --> 03:04:23,320 Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's there's many things we talked about 3728 03:04:23,320 --> 03:04:24,879 Speaker 1: in our last session. You know, we got to be 3729 03:04:24,879 --> 03:04:27,120 Speaker 1: better in the red zone on defense, We want to 3730 03:04:27,120 --> 03:04:29,080 Speaker 1: get off the field on third down. We want to 3731 03:04:29,080 --> 03:04:31,400 Speaker 1: maximize our takeaway opportunities to give the ball back to 3732 03:04:31,440 --> 03:04:34,080 Speaker 1: the offense and let the Seawan those guys do what 3733 03:04:34,120 --> 03:04:35,959 Speaker 1: they do on that side of the ball. But from 3734 03:04:36,000 --> 03:04:37,880 Speaker 1: our perspective, that's what it comes down to. It comes 3735 03:04:37,920 --> 03:04:39,600 Speaker 1: down to stop in the run and the early downs, 3736 03:04:39,600 --> 03:04:42,080 Speaker 1: putting them in tough situations on third down, getting off 3737 03:04:42,080 --> 03:04:44,080 Speaker 1: the field, and then when they do get down there 3738 03:04:44,080 --> 03:04:46,160 Speaker 1: in the red zone, holding them the field goal opportunities 3739 03:04:46,280 --> 03:04:48,720 Speaker 1: or taking them all away. I mean, that's really when 3740 03:04:48,720 --> 03:04:50,560 Speaker 1: you break it down, and that's what it comes down to. 3741 03:04:52,000 --> 03:04:54,560 Speaker 1: That feels like a question. JJ is getting tired of answering, like, oh, 3742 03:04:54,560 --> 03:04:56,680 Speaker 1: so what you guys asked him yesterday to like, hey, 3743 03:04:56,680 --> 03:04:58,959 Speaker 1: what went wrong? It's a question you gotta ask, right Like, 3744 03:04:59,000 --> 03:05:02,039 Speaker 1: but he's like, I'm really getting tired of answering what 3745 03:05:02,120 --> 03:05:04,440 Speaker 1: went wrong against Kansas City. You prefaced the great with 3746 03:05:04,520 --> 03:05:06,360 Speaker 1: him yesterday, like I hate to go to a sour 3747 03:05:06,400 --> 03:05:10,320 Speaker 1: place with the heat film. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no 3748 03:05:10,320 --> 03:05:12,480 Speaker 1: doubt about it. One more from JJ is he thought 3749 03:05:12,520 --> 03:05:16,080 Speaker 1: about hosting an AFC Championship game at NRG Stadium. Yeah, 3750 03:05:16,440 --> 03:05:18,680 Speaker 1: I've done that since the day I got drafted here. 3751 03:05:18,760 --> 03:05:22,400 Speaker 1: I mean that's the whole goal. That's that's the final 3752 03:05:22,480 --> 03:05:27,039 Speaker 1: step before the actual goal. So yes, I do, and 3753 03:05:27,879 --> 03:05:29,440 Speaker 1: who knows what that would look like this year. I 3754 03:05:29,520 --> 03:05:31,880 Speaker 1: haven't quite envisioned exactly how we look in the air 3755 03:05:31,959 --> 03:05:34,560 Speaker 1: covid era with fans, no fans, however that works, but 3756 03:05:34,800 --> 03:05:37,920 Speaker 1: winning the game all the same as the goal. This 3757 03:05:37,920 --> 03:05:40,280 Speaker 1: team had never gotten to the playoffs before JJ walk 3758 03:05:40,320 --> 03:05:42,040 Speaker 1: got here. The first time they made the playoffs was 3759 03:05:42,080 --> 03:05:46,240 Speaker 1: his rookie year in twenty eleven, and I would say 3760 03:05:46,320 --> 03:05:49,240 Speaker 1: that was probably the best chance the Texans had of 3761 03:05:49,280 --> 03:05:51,640 Speaker 1: making a deep playoff run. Was that team in twenty 3762 03:05:51,840 --> 03:05:53,600 Speaker 1: eleven that was your shop got hurt and they wound 3763 03:05:53,640 --> 03:05:55,800 Speaker 1: up with t J. Yates at quarterback, But that was 3764 03:05:55,840 --> 03:05:58,600 Speaker 1: the most complete team in franchise history. They'd Aaron Foster 3765 03:05:58,720 --> 03:06:02,560 Speaker 1: running the football. JJ didn't really become JJ until the 3766 03:06:02,600 --> 03:06:05,320 Speaker 1: playoffs that year, and then he became superhuman for the 3767 03:06:05,360 --> 03:06:08,119 Speaker 1: next four years. He won three Defensive Players of the Year. 3768 03:06:08,760 --> 03:06:11,880 Speaker 1: Last year's one that if look at, the Texans don't 3769 03:06:11,879 --> 03:06:13,800 Speaker 1: wind up going any further than the second round of 3770 03:06:13,800 --> 03:06:17,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs in JJ Watt's career. The last one might 3771 03:06:17,040 --> 03:06:20,000 Speaker 1: be the one that winds up hurting the most to 3772 03:06:20,040 --> 03:06:22,000 Speaker 1: look back at with the twenty four nothing lead in 3773 03:06:22,080 --> 03:06:25,280 Speaker 1: Kansas City, with the way that they lost the lead. 3774 03:06:25,360 --> 03:06:28,400 Speaker 1: This wasn't something where they know the offense stalled in 3775 03:06:28,480 --> 03:06:30,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City just got it in gear and they win 3776 03:06:30,080 --> 03:06:32,840 Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty four. You were snowed under by the 3777 03:06:32,840 --> 03:06:35,520 Speaker 1: third quarter. Kansas City was trailing twenty were nothing in 3778 03:06:35,520 --> 03:06:38,840 Speaker 1: the second quarter, they were leading by halftime. You essentially 3779 03:06:38,879 --> 03:06:41,640 Speaker 1: forfeited the game over to them in the second quarter, 3780 03:06:41,680 --> 03:06:44,000 Speaker 1: and you had the sixth seed in Tennessee sitting there 3781 03:06:44,040 --> 03:06:46,440 Speaker 1: waiting for you in the AFC Title game. You would 3782 03:06:46,440 --> 03:06:48,879 Speaker 1: have played the AFC Title Game at home as a 3783 03:06:48,959 --> 03:06:51,800 Speaker 1: four seed, and then at that point, who knows what 3784 03:06:51,840 --> 03:06:53,960 Speaker 1: happens in the Super Bowl, Like San Francisco is probably 3785 03:06:54,000 --> 03:06:56,200 Speaker 1: a better team than the Texans, but at that point, 3786 03:06:56,240 --> 03:06:58,040 Speaker 1: you're a team at destiny, you know what I mean. Like, 3787 03:06:58,120 --> 03:07:01,080 Speaker 1: at that point, you're a team where the chips have 3788 03:07:01,160 --> 03:07:03,000 Speaker 1: fallen the right way for you. You get to Sean 3789 03:07:03,160 --> 03:07:06,480 Speaker 1: getting it doing a Houdini act against Buffalo. You catch 3790 03:07:06,560 --> 03:07:08,720 Speaker 1: Kansas City on a bad day and you hold onto 3791 03:07:08,720 --> 03:07:10,280 Speaker 1: a lead, and then you get a six seed at 3792 03:07:10,280 --> 03:07:12,280 Speaker 1: home in the AFC Title Game. It's just the stars 3793 03:07:12,280 --> 03:07:15,359 Speaker 1: are aligned for you and then in twenty minutes of football, 3794 03:07:15,400 --> 03:07:18,560 Speaker 1: it couldn't turn it into something worse for the Houston Texans. 3795 03:07:18,720 --> 03:07:20,840 Speaker 1: What was the sense you got, you guys got talking 3796 03:07:20,879 --> 03:07:23,320 Speaker 1: to JJ yesterday? Just yeah, you asked him some big 3797 03:07:23,360 --> 03:07:26,400 Speaker 1: picture questions about the rest of his career and how 3798 03:07:26,440 --> 03:07:29,400 Speaker 1: he looks, you know, kind of looks at his career. 3799 03:07:29,680 --> 03:07:30,920 Speaker 1: You know, if he's not able to get to a 3800 03:07:30,959 --> 03:07:32,680 Speaker 1: super Bowl. I thought that was a great question. If 3801 03:07:32,680 --> 03:07:34,400 Speaker 1: he's not able to get to a super Bowl, how 3802 03:07:34,440 --> 03:07:35,920 Speaker 1: does he look at his career that sort of thing. 3803 03:07:35,959 --> 03:07:37,760 Speaker 1: What what was your sense in talking to jj W? 3804 03:07:38,040 --> 03:07:40,400 Speaker 1: I think the overall si I mean, he appeared to 3805 03:07:40,440 --> 03:07:43,360 Speaker 1: be in in in season mode. So often we talk 3806 03:07:43,400 --> 03:07:45,520 Speaker 1: about Bill O'Brien being a little more high strung once 3807 03:07:45,520 --> 03:07:48,040 Speaker 1: the season starts, a little less bs, a little more, 3808 03:07:48,080 --> 03:07:52,080 Speaker 1: a little more serious with every topic that you discuss. Um, 3809 03:07:52,720 --> 03:07:56,440 Speaker 1: JJ wasn't. His tone never changed. You could tell he 3810 03:07:56,520 --> 03:07:59,760 Speaker 1: was dialed in. You could tell that that you know 3811 03:07:59,760 --> 03:08:02,480 Speaker 1: that he was. He was serious with everything. We tried 3812 03:08:02,520 --> 03:08:04,920 Speaker 1: to get him off the cuff, to to to chuckle 3813 03:08:04,959 --> 03:08:06,920 Speaker 1: a little bit and and let his guard down a 3814 03:08:06,959 --> 03:08:10,000 Speaker 1: little bit. It didn't happen, and so I think overall 3815 03:08:10,080 --> 03:08:13,000 Speaker 1: that Sean is he's he's locked in, man. But the 3816 03:08:13,120 --> 03:08:16,560 Speaker 1: one thing that I wish that in JJ never will 3817 03:08:16,600 --> 03:08:19,760 Speaker 1: because he's above this, But I wish that they would 3818 03:08:19,800 --> 03:08:23,400 Speaker 1: acknowledge staying healthy is the big key. I mean, I 3819 03:08:23,879 --> 03:08:29,360 Speaker 1: think that the Kansas this Bill O'Brien, uh, Deshaun Watson, 3820 03:08:29,520 --> 03:08:33,120 Speaker 1: JJ Watt. I mean it's fair to say, particularly the 3821 03:08:33,120 --> 03:08:35,600 Speaker 1: defensive side of the football, that you talk about the 3822 03:08:35,680 --> 03:08:37,800 Speaker 1: Kansas City game and you talk about some of the 3823 03:08:37,959 --> 03:08:41,320 Speaker 1: some of the problems throughout the season, Well, man, if 3824 03:08:41,320 --> 03:08:45,760 Speaker 1: they stay healthy on defense, um, they got a much 3825 03:08:45,800 --> 03:08:49,400 Speaker 1: better chance to whether that storm versus Kansas City, they 3826 03:08:49,440 --> 03:08:52,640 Speaker 1: got a much better chance to to maybe get a 3827 03:08:52,760 --> 03:08:55,199 Speaker 1: buy in the playoffs. If they've got a JJ healthy 3828 03:08:55,280 --> 03:08:58,960 Speaker 1: JJ Watt throughout the season. Um, you know, there's there's 3829 03:08:59,000 --> 03:09:02,080 Speaker 1: just so much true to the fact that that, yeah, 3830 03:09:02,120 --> 03:09:03,879 Speaker 1: they gotta be better on third down. Hell, everybody does. 3831 03:09:03,920 --> 03:09:05,840 Speaker 1: That's that's that's coach speak. Everybody's got to be better 3832 03:09:05,840 --> 03:09:07,440 Speaker 1: on in the red zone, you gotta better on third down, 3833 03:09:07,440 --> 03:09:09,879 Speaker 1: you gotta turn the football over. But two things I've 3834 03:09:09,959 --> 03:09:12,200 Speaker 1: yet to hear is, man, if we if they just 3835 03:09:12,320 --> 03:09:16,600 Speaker 1: stay healthy, they'll be significantly better. And the other thing 3836 03:09:16,800 --> 03:09:20,240 Speaker 1: is if they and I know they can't say this, 3837 03:09:20,320 --> 03:09:22,400 Speaker 1: they're not gonna show their cards just early in training camp, 3838 03:09:22,600 --> 03:09:27,520 Speaker 1: but if they are more aggressive, and when they are aggressive, 3839 03:09:27,560 --> 03:09:29,520 Speaker 1: they get home and get the quarterback on the ground. 3840 03:09:29,920 --> 03:09:32,760 Speaker 1: Those are the two things that I think outside of 3841 03:09:32,760 --> 03:09:34,840 Speaker 1: the stats that if you break down the Texans from 3842 03:09:34,920 --> 03:09:37,959 Speaker 1: last year, there's some statistical issues of getting off the 3843 03:09:38,000 --> 03:09:40,720 Speaker 1: field and stopping teams, holding teams to field goals instead 3844 03:09:40,720 --> 03:09:43,440 Speaker 1: of touchdowns. But if you really look down on this defense, 3845 03:09:43,520 --> 03:09:46,000 Speaker 1: you go stay healthy. You can't go into a Kansas 3846 03:09:46,000 --> 03:09:48,279 Speaker 1: City game that's second round the playoffs with two safety's missing. 3847 03:09:48,320 --> 03:09:52,400 Speaker 1: You just can't. It's impossible, right, stay healthy. And then 3848 03:09:52,800 --> 03:09:55,960 Speaker 1: throughout the season with these new schemes and this creativity 3849 03:09:56,000 --> 03:09:58,520 Speaker 1: from Anthony Weaver, damn it, you gotta get home baby, 3850 03:09:58,520 --> 03:10:01,480 Speaker 1: show the speed. Yeah, I think it's it's pretty evident 3851 03:10:01,520 --> 03:10:06,280 Speaker 1: to me that Bill O'Brien and Jack Easterby that if 3852 03:10:06,280 --> 03:10:09,800 Speaker 1: they were pinpointing what the issue was on the defense 3853 03:10:09,920 --> 03:10:13,879 Speaker 1: last year. Obviously JJ's health was the major issue the 3854 03:10:13,920 --> 03:10:15,760 Speaker 1: second half of last year. And we'll hear from JJ 3855 03:10:15,920 --> 03:10:17,920 Speaker 1: from your interview and just a second on O'Brien and 3856 03:10:17,959 --> 03:10:20,320 Speaker 1: Easterby sitting down with him, but just in terms of 3857 03:10:20,320 --> 03:10:26,240 Speaker 1: what they targeted defensively this offseason the way, just determining 3858 03:10:26,280 --> 03:10:29,320 Speaker 1: from their behavior this offseason O'Brien and Easterby, by the 3859 03:10:29,800 --> 03:10:33,720 Speaker 1: by there what they did to address the defense. To 3860 03:10:33,800 --> 03:10:35,600 Speaker 1: me that I think they think the issues were in 3861 03:10:35,640 --> 03:10:38,119 Speaker 1: the front seven, not in the back end, because they 3862 03:10:38,160 --> 03:10:40,280 Speaker 1: brought back everybody in the back end. You know, they 3863 03:10:40,280 --> 03:10:42,600 Speaker 1: didn't exercise Gary and Conley's fifth year option, but he's 3864 03:10:42,600 --> 03:10:45,000 Speaker 1: going to start for them this year. Um, you know, 3865 03:10:45,040 --> 03:10:47,200 Speaker 1: I don't think they didn't exercise it because they don't 3866 03:10:47,200 --> 03:10:48,920 Speaker 1: think he can be here a long term. I just 3867 03:10:48,959 --> 03:10:50,960 Speaker 1: think that, you know, they feel like he may be 3868 03:10:50,959 --> 03:10:53,200 Speaker 1: better off playing in a contract here than them being 3869 03:10:53,200 --> 03:10:57,600 Speaker 1: committed to paying him of eight games, yeah, you know, 3870 03:10:57,680 --> 03:11:00,440 Speaker 1: and and most of those games without JJ. He got 3871 03:11:00,440 --> 03:11:02,240 Speaker 1: traded here the week of the Raider game. JJ walk 3872 03:11:02,240 --> 03:11:04,520 Speaker 1: got hurt in the Raider game. But Conley's a talent, 3873 03:11:04,560 --> 03:11:06,360 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. He was a former first 3874 03:11:06,440 --> 03:11:08,920 Speaker 1: round pick. Bradley Roby they brought back for three years 3875 03:11:08,920 --> 03:11:11,960 Speaker 1: on a decent sized deal. They seem to believe in 3876 03:11:12,040 --> 03:11:14,680 Speaker 1: Lonnie Johnson, Justin Reid is ready to take the leap. 3877 03:11:15,080 --> 03:11:16,800 Speaker 1: You know, they brought in Eric Murray, but that's the 3878 03:11:16,800 --> 03:11:20,840 Speaker 1: only real change defensively, I think, because they brought back 3879 03:11:20,879 --> 03:11:23,879 Speaker 1: pretty much everything in the secondary that they had last year, 3880 03:11:24,280 --> 03:11:27,440 Speaker 1: and they used their high end draft capital on front 3881 03:11:27,480 --> 03:11:29,840 Speaker 1: seven guys. They used it on Ross Blacklock, they used 3882 03:11:29,840 --> 03:11:32,240 Speaker 1: it on Jonathan Grenard. Just hearing some of the interviews 3883 03:11:32,240 --> 03:11:34,480 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien has done since the end of last year 3884 03:11:34,920 --> 03:11:37,920 Speaker 1: where he was asked about the secondary, it's almost like 3885 03:11:38,360 --> 03:11:41,200 Speaker 1: he was kind of taking up for the secondary a 3886 03:11:41,200 --> 03:11:43,000 Speaker 1: little bit. You know, if you read the tea leaves, 3887 03:11:43,040 --> 03:11:44,879 Speaker 1: if you read between the lines, I feel like I 3888 03:11:44,920 --> 03:11:47,280 Speaker 1: feel like Bill O'Brien doesn't feel like the deficiencies in 3889 03:11:47,280 --> 03:11:50,959 Speaker 1: the passing game numbers defensively were necessarily all the fault 3890 03:11:51,040 --> 03:11:55,960 Speaker 1: of guys being poor in coverage. JJ Watt being healthy 3891 03:11:56,000 --> 03:11:58,039 Speaker 1: is a huge, huge party. I love to hear you 3892 03:11:58,040 --> 03:12:00,320 Speaker 1: say that, Sean, because you know I've been that I've 3893 03:12:00,360 --> 03:12:02,480 Speaker 1: been a little higher on this secondary from the jump 3894 03:12:02,520 --> 03:12:04,480 Speaker 1: than than most people have. So it's good to hear 3895 03:12:04,520 --> 03:12:09,240 Speaker 1: you reading between the tea leagues with If I trust 3896 03:12:09,280 --> 03:12:12,840 Speaker 1: your your ability to read between the lines, of Bill 3897 03:12:12,879 --> 03:12:15,280 Speaker 1: O'Brien as high as anybody else. But anyway, that just 3898 03:12:15,360 --> 03:12:17,400 Speaker 1: hearing you say that, it gives me a little bit 3899 03:12:17,440 --> 03:12:19,120 Speaker 1: of hope that that I'm that I'm hitting the nail 3900 03:12:19,120 --> 03:12:21,920 Speaker 1: on the head there with the secondary. We also just 3901 03:12:22,000 --> 03:12:24,080 Speaker 1: heard John Harris. I mean, obviously he comes on and 3902 03:12:24,120 --> 03:12:26,840 Speaker 1: talks about the safety. Eric Murray, he's more of a 3903 03:12:26,879 --> 03:12:31,200 Speaker 1: corner style. It seems like they are they are making 3904 03:12:31,240 --> 03:12:35,640 Speaker 1: sure the secondary is full of guys that are extremely 3905 03:12:35,760 --> 03:12:40,920 Speaker 1: comfortable covering in man demand situations, extremely comfortable playing zone 3906 03:12:40,959 --> 03:12:44,880 Speaker 1: defenses where they're having to defend in space. And if 3907 03:12:44,920 --> 03:12:47,480 Speaker 1: that's that makes a lot of sense because you're chasing 3908 03:12:47,560 --> 03:12:51,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City, yeah, well and defending all different kinds of space, right, 3909 03:12:51,080 --> 03:12:53,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Roby can be on the outside, Robie may 3910 03:12:53,040 --> 03:12:55,200 Speaker 1: you know, if if Lonnie Johnson and Garan Conley can 3911 03:12:55,240 --> 03:12:57,360 Speaker 1: play on the outside, then Roby can play the slide. Yes, 3912 03:12:57,480 --> 03:12:59,560 Speaker 1: Eric Murray can cover the slide, he can play safety. 3913 03:12:59,640 --> 03:13:02,720 Speaker 1: Lonnie Johnson. Hopefully it goes better on tight ends than 3914 03:13:02,760 --> 03:13:04,320 Speaker 1: it did in the playoffs last year. But I think 3915 03:13:04,320 --> 03:13:06,360 Speaker 1: they feel like Lonnie Johnson has a body type where 3916 03:13:06,400 --> 03:13:09,160 Speaker 1: you could in certain games and certain matchups move him 3917 03:13:09,160 --> 03:13:12,440 Speaker 1: over and cover either bigger receivers or tight ends. Here 3918 03:13:12,560 --> 03:13:15,840 Speaker 1: is JJ watt On, Bill O'Brien and Jackie should be 3919 03:13:15,840 --> 03:13:17,760 Speaker 1: sitting down. I thought this was really interesting that you 3920 03:13:17,760 --> 03:13:20,200 Speaker 1: guys got out of him sitting down and coming up 3921 03:13:20,200 --> 03:13:22,640 Speaker 1: with a plan for the upcoming season or for training 3922 03:13:22,680 --> 03:13:24,800 Speaker 1: camp to lead up to the season with him. Bill 3923 03:13:24,879 --> 03:13:27,080 Speaker 1: and jack have done a great job of sitting down 3924 03:13:27,080 --> 03:13:30,480 Speaker 1: with me and individualizing that plan. And I'm excited about it, 3925 03:13:30,560 --> 03:13:32,440 Speaker 1: even though on days I'm sure I'll be chomping at 3926 03:13:32,440 --> 03:13:33,800 Speaker 1: the bit and wish I could hop out there. But 3927 03:13:33,840 --> 03:13:35,720 Speaker 1: today was great. Today I did a bunch of work 3928 03:13:35,760 --> 03:13:37,240 Speaker 1: with the d Lion, did a bunch of one on 3929 03:13:37,240 --> 03:13:39,720 Speaker 1: one so I had a great day and enjoy being 3930 03:13:39,720 --> 03:13:41,640 Speaker 1: in pads. There's nothing like putting the pads on for 3931 03:13:41,640 --> 03:13:43,520 Speaker 1: the first time in training camp and getting to pop 3932 03:13:43,520 --> 03:13:46,040 Speaker 1: the pads and hit somebody and you know, kind of 3933 03:13:46,240 --> 03:13:48,640 Speaker 1: putting that first bull rush out there. And just to 3934 03:13:48,640 --> 03:13:50,560 Speaker 1: be clear, JJ has not done much these first two 3935 03:13:50,600 --> 03:13:52,240 Speaker 1: day I didn't see him out there today. Maybe I 3936 03:13:52,240 --> 03:13:54,160 Speaker 1: missed him. I was asking, but you guys, see JJ, 3937 03:13:54,280 --> 03:13:55,960 Speaker 1: you know I didn't see him out there today. I 3938 03:13:56,000 --> 03:13:57,680 Speaker 1: don't think he's hurt. I mean just think he wasn't 3939 03:13:57,720 --> 03:14:01,960 Speaker 1: out there, but because he's doing press conferences in interviews 3940 03:14:01,959 --> 03:14:04,360 Speaker 1: with you guy, like you know, he's there was something wrong, 3941 03:14:04,360 --> 03:14:06,440 Speaker 1: you'd have been in a trainer's room. Plus, he didn't 3942 03:14:06,440 --> 03:14:08,720 Speaker 1: do much yesterday. Did you hear me when I asked 3943 03:14:08,800 --> 03:14:11,480 Speaker 1: him that question in the show? Yeah, I said Sean Fenders. 3944 03:14:11,520 --> 03:14:13,200 Speaker 1: And when I when I listened back to it, I 3945 03:14:13,200 --> 03:14:15,440 Speaker 1: was like, hey, Hill, did I mentioned Sean for But Mama, 3946 03:14:15,520 --> 03:14:16,879 Speaker 1: I know I like you did, though it was kind 3947 03:14:16,879 --> 03:14:18,920 Speaker 1: of putting me over. Well, my mindset was like I 3948 03:14:18,959 --> 03:14:20,760 Speaker 1: was gonna say, well, yes, Sean told me he just 3949 03:14:20,760 --> 03:14:22,760 Speaker 1: watched eleven on eleven and you didn't do a damn thing, 3950 03:14:22,840 --> 03:14:26,800 Speaker 1: JJ Up. I don't want him phrase it that way. 3951 03:14:26,840 --> 03:14:30,000 Speaker 1: I was just letting you guys know, Okay, this is okay. Now, 3952 03:14:30,080 --> 03:14:35,320 Speaker 1: this is just to be clear. As I was watching, well, 3953 03:14:35,320 --> 03:14:37,080 Speaker 1: I didn't say that, and just to be clear, he 3954 03:14:37,120 --> 03:14:39,400 Speaker 1: didn't have that twain And in the Texans you can 3955 03:14:39,440 --> 03:14:42,119 Speaker 1: only tweeter, you know, tweet out or publicly say certain 3956 03:14:42,160 --> 03:14:43,920 Speaker 1: things that are going on to practice or certain things. 3957 03:14:44,400 --> 03:14:46,760 Speaker 1: And so I just wanted you guys to know, yes 3958 03:14:47,200 --> 03:14:50,440 Speaker 1: that JJ was not doing much. If anything in eleven 3959 03:14:50,480 --> 03:14:52,520 Speaker 1: on eleven yesterday, he was there. He was in pads, 3960 03:14:52,640 --> 03:14:54,800 Speaker 1: he had his helmet on, not even pulled down, like 3961 03:14:54,879 --> 03:14:56,880 Speaker 1: perched on top of his head, and just sort of 3962 03:14:56,920 --> 03:14:59,000 Speaker 1: bop into whatever song was playing out there. Like he 3963 03:14:59,040 --> 03:15:01,440 Speaker 1: was clearly healthy and he was clearly being rested. But 3964 03:15:01,480 --> 03:15:03,320 Speaker 1: they clearly let him just wear his uniform like he 3965 03:15:03,360 --> 03:15:05,240 Speaker 1: was a mascot or something like that, because he wanted 3966 03:15:05,240 --> 03:15:07,400 Speaker 1: to be dressed in a uniform that day. But I 3967 03:15:07,640 --> 03:15:09,879 Speaker 1: want to let you guys know so that you knew 3968 03:15:09,959 --> 03:15:13,320 Speaker 1: to ask the question. Um, you knew to ask the question, like, 3969 03:15:13,680 --> 03:15:15,040 Speaker 1: so you guys did ask him. So what was it 3970 03:15:15,120 --> 03:15:16,960 Speaker 1: like to get out there and hit guys today? Well 3971 03:15:16,959 --> 03:15:19,240 Speaker 1: that the point was was was I was like, I 3972 03:15:19,360 --> 03:15:22,039 Speaker 1: got halfway through there talking about Sean and pushing Sean's 3973 03:15:22,080 --> 03:15:25,039 Speaker 1: inside the bubble, and I went JJ probably went JJ, 3974 03:15:25,320 --> 03:15:28,440 Speaker 1: probably went Jay. Probably want to appreciate me saying that, 3975 03:15:28,600 --> 03:15:31,320 Speaker 1: So I switched gears real quick. Funny. No, I like 3976 03:15:31,400 --> 03:15:33,120 Speaker 1: it that you mentioned it. Hey, anytime you can mention. 3977 03:15:33,200 --> 03:15:35,120 Speaker 1: I'm one of ten people in there. I'm surprised you 3978 03:15:35,120 --> 03:15:37,320 Speaker 1: mentioned it because, as you've also mentioned, you're very jealous 3979 03:15:37,320 --> 03:15:38,960 Speaker 1: of me. That no question I mean jealous of all 3980 03:15:39,000 --> 03:15:40,920 Speaker 1: you probably yeah, I mean it was probably like a 3981 03:15:41,760 --> 03:15:44,119 Speaker 1: I mean, your mouth is probably souring as you were 3982 03:15:44,160 --> 03:15:46,400 Speaker 1: saying those exact words of me. Being inside the bubble. 3983 03:15:46,480 --> 03:15:49,360 Speaker 1: I was, I'm glad, I'm wordy because I got I've 3984 03:15:49,360 --> 03:15:50,959 Speaker 1: corrected myself. I was like, you know what, I better 3985 03:15:51,080 --> 03:15:52,879 Speaker 1: not though, Shaun or to the bus. That's funny.

We've heard about 4106 03:23:04,560 --> 03:23:08,640 Speaker 1: the extreme preventative measures with making sure masks are on 4107 03:23:08,720 --> 03:23:11,160 Speaker 1: and social distancing, and all of that has resulted in 4108 03:23:11,240 --> 03:23:15,279 Speaker 1: literally thousands and thousands and thousands of tests and narry 4109 03:23:15,320 --> 03:23:17,640 Speaker 1: a single positive tests from all those thousands of tests, 4110 03:23:17,680 --> 03:23:19,560 Speaker 1: And all I can think is, God, Please don't let 4111 03:23:19,600 --> 03:23:23,120 Speaker 1: me be the one that breaks the streak.

So it's been Um, it's 4143 03:24:47,120 --> 03:24:49,879 Speaker 1: been strange times over there, man, But still, as you 4144 03:24:49,920 --> 03:24:53,400 Speaker 1: said earlier, once you get between the white lines, it's football. Yeah, 4145 03:24:53,440 --> 03:24:56,039 Speaker 1: it's football, and unfortunately for Duke getcha for, there will 4146 03:24:56,080 --> 03:24:58,680 Speaker 1: be no football this year. That was sad to see yesterday. Man, 4147 03:24:58,720 --> 03:25:00,720 Speaker 1: when I saw that tweet from Mike Florio, I think 4148 03:25:00,720 --> 03:25:03,360 Speaker 1: it was the story Duke edge of four out with 4149 03:25:03,400 --> 03:25:07,359 Speaker 1: an ACL I sent him A poor kid man, Yeah, 4150 03:25:07,240 --> 03:25:09,840 Speaker 1: a shredded achilles last year, misses the whole season, and 4151 03:25:09,879 --> 03:25:11,680 Speaker 1: now at the very end of the practice. I guess 4152 03:25:11,720 --> 03:25:13,840 Speaker 1: it happened. I didn't see it happened. I'm the first 4153 03:25:14,040 --> 03:25:16,480 Speaker 1: I'm at practice. I don't remember seeing fifty three get 4154 03:25:16,480 --> 03:25:19,520 Speaker 1: walked off the field or anything. Um, but it torn 4155 03:25:19,560 --> 03:25:21,560 Speaker 1: acl for Duke etch of four, who look was not 4156 03:25:21,640 --> 03:25:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't ready to start for this team 4157 03:25:23,360 --> 03:25:27,959 Speaker 1: or anything, but when healthy, he did provide the potential 4158 03:25:28,040 --> 03:25:32,920 Speaker 1: at least for productivity in a in a skill set 4159 03:25:32,959 --> 03:25:36,080 Speaker 1: that this team needs. Productivity in edge rushers that aren't 4160 03:25:36,120 --> 03:25:38,720 Speaker 1: named JJ Watt. Yeah, he was one of you know, 4161 03:25:38,760 --> 03:25:41,360 Speaker 1: a handful three or four guys that that I think 4162 03:25:41,400 --> 03:25:44,680 Speaker 1: the potential was through the roof for those one of 4163 03:25:44,720 --> 03:25:47,960 Speaker 1: those three or four guys to feel the void of 4164 03:25:48,080 --> 03:25:50,160 Speaker 1: which you which you just mentioned. I don't care if 4165 03:25:50,160 --> 03:25:53,920 Speaker 1: it's an inside rusher or an edge rusher not named j. J. Watt, 4166 03:25:54,000 --> 03:25:58,400 Speaker 1: a inside rusher or a outside rusher edge rusher that 4167 03:25:58,400 --> 03:26:01,560 Speaker 1: that has the speed to be a problem in the backfield. 4168 03:26:01,600 --> 03:26:04,039 Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about versus guys like Lamar Jackson. 4169 03:26:04,360 --> 03:26:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking about versus guys like Pat Mahomes. You don't 4170 03:26:07,000 --> 03:26:09,200 Speaker 1: you don't need to be the fast. You don't need 4171 03:26:09,280 --> 03:26:12,800 Speaker 1: Jacob Martin caliber speed to impact Pat Mahomes and be 4172 03:26:12,800 --> 03:26:14,280 Speaker 1: able to get him on the ground when the scheme 4173 03:26:14,360 --> 03:26:17,360 Speaker 1: works or when you win off of the snap. So 4174 03:26:17,840 --> 03:26:19,680 Speaker 1: Duke Edge four was one of three or four of 4175 03:26:19,720 --> 03:26:22,480 Speaker 1: those guys that this team I think is heavily dependent 4176 03:26:22,520 --> 03:26:25,200 Speaker 1: on right now to have a big time season. Now, 4177 03:26:25,360 --> 03:26:27,880 Speaker 1: was he, you know, one or two on that list? No, 4178 03:26:28,000 --> 03:26:30,720 Speaker 1: I think Charles Omenna who probably is, Jacob Martin probably is, 4179 03:26:30,920 --> 03:26:32,520 Speaker 1: but he was damn sure three or four on that 4180 03:26:32,560 --> 03:26:35,200 Speaker 1: list of guys that you could see having a Cinderella 4181 03:26:35,240 --> 03:26:38,960 Speaker 1: type season and helping the defense. They have to have 4182 03:26:39,040 --> 03:26:41,640 Speaker 1: one of these guys work out, one of these addreshers. 4183 03:26:41,640 --> 03:26:43,560 Speaker 1: They have to have one of these guys work out 4184 03:26:44,640 --> 03:26:47,879 Speaker 1: because they look other than JJ. They really didn't do 4185 03:26:47,920 --> 03:26:49,920 Speaker 1: a great job of getting after the quarterback. Whitney was 4186 03:26:49,920 --> 03:26:52,119 Speaker 1: great the first five or six games, and then JJ 4187 03:26:52,280 --> 03:26:53,920 Speaker 1: goes out and then Whitney is just sort of out 4188 03:26:53,959 --> 03:26:56,760 Speaker 1: there with everybody else. You know, he wasn't he wasn't 4189 03:26:56,800 --> 03:26:58,760 Speaker 1: He wasn't terrible or anything like that, but he didn't 4190 03:26:58,760 --> 03:27:01,080 Speaker 1: get after the quarterback like a guy that you're now 4191 03:27:01,120 --> 03:27:02,920 Speaker 1: paying to get after the quarterback when he's making a 4192 03:27:02,959 --> 03:27:05,040 Speaker 1: lot of money. Now he's making thirteen million year Brendan 4193 03:27:05,080 --> 03:27:07,800 Speaker 1: Scarlett's not really that guy. Like Brendan Scarlett's just sort 4194 03:27:07,800 --> 03:27:11,320 Speaker 1: of a solid, hold the edge, make the occasional flash 4195 03:27:11,400 --> 03:27:14,119 Speaker 1: play kind of guy. You know. He's a real solid 4196 03:27:14,120 --> 03:27:18,320 Speaker 1: pro that's really good on special teams. You were counting 4197 03:27:18,320 --> 03:27:20,240 Speaker 1: on a few lottery tickets, really when it came to 4198 03:27:20,280 --> 03:27:24,359 Speaker 1: getting after the passer and Duke Edgeford reduces the chances 4199 03:27:24,400 --> 03:27:26,280 Speaker 1: of you winning the lottery, really is what it is. 4200 03:27:26,320 --> 03:27:29,360 Speaker 1: Because the guy's Jonathan Grennard. But he's a rookie. But 4201 03:27:29,400 --> 03:27:31,560 Speaker 1: he got after the passer in college. Maybe it works out. 4202 03:27:31,680 --> 03:27:33,760 Speaker 1: Charleso Many who showed some things in his rookie year, 4203 03:27:33,959 --> 03:27:35,800 Speaker 1: but he's in his second year, Like you're counting on 4204 03:27:35,840 --> 03:27:38,600 Speaker 1: somebody to take a big step up. Jacob Martin. That's 4205 03:27:38,600 --> 03:27:40,080 Speaker 1: the only time he ever got on the field was 4206 03:27:40,120 --> 03:27:42,360 Speaker 1: to rush the passer. You know, has he done enough? 4207 03:27:42,400 --> 03:27:44,920 Speaker 1: Has he built his body up enough this offseason to 4208 03:27:45,000 --> 03:27:47,280 Speaker 1: be able to be on the field to where it's 4209 03:27:47,280 --> 03:27:49,720 Speaker 1: not just obvious passing downs he's out there. You know, 4210 03:27:50,160 --> 03:27:52,240 Speaker 1: he needs to be stout enough in the run games 4211 03:27:52,280 --> 03:27:53,720 Speaker 1: where you can put him out there and you're actually 4212 03:27:53,760 --> 03:27:58,000 Speaker 1: disguising a few things, you know, so it's unfortunate, but 4213 03:27:58,040 --> 03:28:00,680 Speaker 1: it exposes maybe a bigger issue, which is, boy, you're 4214 03:28:00,680 --> 03:28:02,280 Speaker 1: really counting on a lot of guys who have not 4215 03:28:02,400 --> 03:28:04,680 Speaker 1: done a whole lot in the NFL. You know the thing. 4216 03:28:04,840 --> 03:28:06,600 Speaker 1: And if I had to, if you said, Clint, give me, 4217 03:28:06,720 --> 03:28:10,160 Speaker 1: give me the two guys that, if they step up, 4218 03:28:10,160 --> 03:28:12,760 Speaker 1: will make the biggest difference. Out of the guys you mentioned, 4219 03:28:12,760 --> 03:28:14,960 Speaker 1: it would be Charles Amna who and it would be 4220 03:28:15,720 --> 03:28:20,120 Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock. I mean to me, we talked about Ross earlier, 4221 03:28:20,120 --> 03:28:23,800 Speaker 1: about Blacklock early the second round draft pick, and Sean, 4222 03:28:23,840 --> 03:28:26,360 Speaker 1: I know, sometimes we come on here and I may 4223 03:28:26,400 --> 03:28:28,160 Speaker 1: say something, It's like, what in the hill is he 4224 03:28:28,200 --> 03:28:31,199 Speaker 1: talking about? When I saw the video of Ross Blacklock 4225 03:28:31,280 --> 03:28:34,880 Speaker 1: in the sand running with just just in street club, 4226 03:28:34,959 --> 03:28:37,200 Speaker 1: was not street clothed workout gear with some kind of 4227 03:28:37,320 --> 03:28:41,000 Speaker 1: with some kind of training trainer there with him, you 4228 03:28:41,080 --> 03:28:44,360 Speaker 1: immediately think, this guy's sitting at two ninety and can 4229 03:28:44,400 --> 03:28:47,840 Speaker 1: move like that. This guy can. There's certain things you see, 4230 03:28:48,120 --> 03:28:50,320 Speaker 1: certain positions a quarterback. If you we can go out 4231 03:28:50,360 --> 03:28:53,160 Speaker 1: there in fifty nine traffic out there and watch ten 4232 03:28:53,200 --> 03:28:55,320 Speaker 1: guys throw, and I'll tell you which one can play, 4233 03:28:55,560 --> 03:28:57,960 Speaker 1: just by the way he snaps a football. A two 4234 03:28:58,080 --> 03:29:00,200 Speaker 1: ninety that can drive his knees the way that loss 4235 03:29:00,240 --> 03:29:01,920 Speaker 1: Blacklock can drive his No, I don't know what he 4236 03:29:01,959 --> 03:29:04,520 Speaker 1: is between the ears, but a two ninety that can 4237 03:29:04,560 --> 03:29:06,960 Speaker 1: move and is that athletic with that kind of twitch. 4238 03:29:07,640 --> 03:29:09,959 Speaker 1: If he's not on the field, it's not because of 4239 03:29:09,959 --> 03:29:12,840 Speaker 1: his athletic ability. If he's not elite in the NFL 4240 03:29:12,920 --> 03:29:16,000 Speaker 1: from the interior position, it's not because of his athletic 4241 03:29:16,040 --> 03:29:18,879 Speaker 1: ability and his size and his tangibles. It's because mentally 4242 03:29:18,920 --> 03:29:21,440 Speaker 1: he can't get it together, or the effort's not there, 4243 03:29:21,560 --> 03:29:24,280 Speaker 1: or the discipline's not there. What that video, I know 4244 03:29:24,280 --> 03:29:28,200 Speaker 1: it's silly, but what that video shows you, I promise you, 4245 03:29:28,680 --> 03:29:33,720 Speaker 1: is rare athleticism from an interior defensive lineman sitting at 4246 03:29:33,720 --> 03:29:36,000 Speaker 1: two ninety. And then Charles Amna, who's a guy that 4247 03:29:36,320 --> 03:29:40,280 Speaker 1: he wins by getting skinny, shooting gaps. He's more of 4248 03:29:40,480 --> 03:29:43,800 Speaker 1: a gap shooting defensive tackle defensive end than a big, 4249 03:29:43,920 --> 03:29:46,800 Speaker 1: you know, double team eating deep defensive tackle. Right, those 4250 03:29:46,840 --> 03:29:49,000 Speaker 1: two guys are the two guys that if they have 4251 03:29:49,120 --> 03:29:52,080 Speaker 1: big years, even if it's just second you know, a 4252 03:29:52,080 --> 03:29:53,600 Speaker 1: big year for a second year, got a big year 4253 03:29:53,640 --> 03:29:56,119 Speaker 1: for a rookie, they will have the most impact because 4254 03:29:56,160 --> 03:29:58,920 Speaker 1: what their skill is is getting to the quarterback, getting 4255 03:29:58,920 --> 03:30:01,240 Speaker 1: around the quarterback a trade and get into the backfield. 4256 03:30:01,400 --> 03:30:04,240 Speaker 1: How concerned are you about no fans in the stands 4257 03:30:04,280 --> 03:30:07,240 Speaker 1: for Week two against the Baltimore Ravens. Well, you know, 4258 03:30:07,600 --> 03:30:09,879 Speaker 1: here's how look at it. If if I think it's 4259 03:30:09,879 --> 03:30:11,280 Speaker 1: a hell of a trade off to not have any 4260 03:30:11,280 --> 03:30:15,959 Speaker 1: fans in Arrowhead, the same thing, I'm like, dude, honestly, like, 4261 03:30:16,000 --> 03:30:18,720 Speaker 1: I hate it for Texan fans. Obviously. I look, I'm 4262 03:30:18,800 --> 03:30:21,480 Speaker 1: married to a season ticket holder, so um, i hate 4263 03:30:21,480 --> 03:30:24,880 Speaker 1: it for Texan fans. That said, if you're you're right, 4264 03:30:25,120 --> 03:30:27,039 Speaker 1: it's Clint, I'll take it a step firday it's Clint. 4265 03:30:27,080 --> 03:30:29,360 Speaker 1: I'll take it a step further day, it's Claire. If 4266 03:30:29,400 --> 03:30:31,920 Speaker 1: there's no fans in Pittsburgh the following week, Yeah, good point. 4267 03:30:32,240 --> 03:30:34,440 Speaker 1: The two hardest road games are Weeks one and three, 4268 03:30:34,520 --> 03:30:37,040 Speaker 1: and they Sandwich the hardest home game. You know, it's 4269 03:30:37,040 --> 03:30:40,480 Speaker 1: just my opinion. I think, undeniably Kansas City and Baltimore 4270 03:30:40,480 --> 03:30:42,760 Speaker 1: the consensus two best teams in the AFC on paper 4271 03:30:42,800 --> 03:30:46,199 Speaker 1: coming into the season. Um, yeah, it's unfortunate. It probably 4272 03:30:46,200 --> 03:30:48,120 Speaker 1: makes things easier for the Ravens. But you're right, if 4273 03:30:48,120 --> 03:30:50,680 Speaker 1: it means quieter crowds or no crowds, maybe in those 4274 03:30:50,720 --> 03:30:52,920 Speaker 1: other two games, maybe it's not a horrible trade off. Yeah, 4275 03:30:52,920 --> 03:30:54,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Sean, I don't know here in RG. 4276 03:30:55,160 --> 03:31:00,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that that Shaun Watson and 4277 03:31:00,800 --> 03:31:06,720 Speaker 1: the Texans aren't better suited at this point from the 4278 03:31:06,760 --> 03:31:09,840 Speaker 1: community so much, so much emphasis put on communication. It's 4279 03:31:09,840 --> 03:31:13,440 Speaker 1: his fourth year. You would think his alpha personality in 4280 03:31:13,560 --> 03:31:15,800 Speaker 1: terms of how he how he compares to Tim Kelly, 4281 03:31:16,000 --> 03:31:18,720 Speaker 1: he should be taking control of this thing. I don't 4282 03:31:18,760 --> 03:31:22,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that it's ever gonna be a disadvantage 4283 03:31:22,000 --> 03:31:24,480 Speaker 1: that they can just communicate, whether it's home or away. 4284 03:31:25,120 --> 03:31:26,920 Speaker 1: And I don't know what to think about Lamar Jackson 4285 03:31:26,959 --> 03:31:28,600 Speaker 1: being the other guy here other than the obvious just 4286 03:31:28,720 --> 03:31:32,840 Speaker 1: he's unbelievably athletic. I don't know that the home field, 4287 03:31:32,879 --> 03:31:34,640 Speaker 1: the noise, I don't know that any of that's gonna 4288 03:31:34,640 --> 03:31:37,280 Speaker 1: matter in that matchup. Well do you think do you 4289 03:31:37,280 --> 03:31:39,360 Speaker 1: think the Ravens come back down to Earth and all 4290 03:31:39,440 --> 03:31:41,480 Speaker 1: this year? Okay you do, not quite as much as 4291 03:31:41,480 --> 03:31:43,720 Speaker 1: San Francisco, But I do think that I think that 4292 03:31:43,840 --> 03:31:48,320 Speaker 1: the NFL defensive coordinators have stayed up all night twenty 4293 03:31:48,320 --> 03:31:50,600 Speaker 1: four to seventh through COVID nineteen to figure out how 4294 03:31:50,640 --> 03:31:53,560 Speaker 1: to start stop Lamar Jackson. And I think they come 4295 03:31:53,600 --> 03:31:56,960 Speaker 1: back to earth. Yes, Okay, Like how far do they 4296 03:31:57,000 --> 03:32:00,240 Speaker 1: still win the division or Pittsburgh? No, No, I'm not 4297 03:32:00,240 --> 03:32:02,760 Speaker 1: banking on petal love being I love Tomlin, but I'm 4298 03:32:02,800 --> 03:32:04,320 Speaker 1: not bad. I think you look at their their overall 4299 03:32:04,360 --> 03:32:06,440 Speaker 1: schedule not real high, and I think they still win 4300 03:32:06,480 --> 03:32:08,440 Speaker 1: the division. I don't think they win fourteen games, yeah, 4301 03:32:08,480 --> 03:32:10,560 Speaker 1: And I think the hype around them being a true 4302 03:32:10,560 --> 03:32:13,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender is a bit much. I think the 4303 03:32:13,640 --> 03:32:15,560 Speaker 1: one San Francisco is the one to me that that 4304 03:32:15,680 --> 03:32:19,080 Speaker 1: really backslides. I just I don't see I see defenses 4305 03:32:19,120 --> 03:32:21,279 Speaker 1: really figuring out what they were doing with that run scheme, 4306 03:32:21,560 --> 03:32:23,760 Speaker 1: and then you got Garoppolo dropping back and having to 4307 03:32:23,760 --> 03:32:25,520 Speaker 1: win games with his arms and with his arm, and 4308 03:32:25,520 --> 03:32:27,440 Speaker 1: I just don't think he's he's ready to do that yet. 4309 03:32:27,320 --> 03:32:30,320 Speaker 1: A final segment of Texans Stray Camp Special here the 4310 03:32:30,320 --> 03:32:32,560 Speaker 1: first of four that we're gonna do on these next 4311 03:32:32,560 --> 03:32:35,640 Speaker 1: four Saturday the next three Saturdays after this one.

Maybe we're spoiled 4421 03:39:05,520 --> 03:39:08,160 Speaker 1: because the Texans are handling the coronavirus so well, but 4422 03:39:08,320 --> 03:39:11,320 Speaker 1: it looks like the NFL buying large, doing a lot 4423 03:39:11,400 --> 03:39:13,640 Speaker 1: of the right things. We'll see what happens with college, 4424 03:39:13,680 --> 03:39:16,320 Speaker 1: but the NFL, I think we're gonna get to Week one, yeah, 4425 03:39:16,360 --> 03:39:18,720 Speaker 1: and then we'll see what happens from there. It's crazy. 4426 03:39:18,720 --> 03:39:21,600 Speaker 1: Sean I mean, and I've heard you say this, it's 4427 03:39:22,240 --> 03:39:25,040 Speaker 1: I mean, overall, outside of the few Major League Baseball 4428 03:39:25,040 --> 03:39:27,320 Speaker 1: teams that it came out in the Wash that they 4429 03:39:27,680 --> 03:39:30,120 Speaker 1: went out in Atlanta, or they went to dinner with 4430 03:39:30,120 --> 03:39:33,480 Speaker 1: a cup, you know, they to a casino to casino broke. 4431 03:39:33,600 --> 03:39:36,440 Speaker 1: Outside of those two incidents where you saw some spikes 4432 03:39:36,440 --> 03:39:39,280 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball with a couple of organizations, I mean, 4433 03:39:39,879 --> 03:39:42,560 Speaker 1: obviously the bubble with the NBA and the NHL, they're 4434 03:39:42,560 --> 03:39:44,720 Speaker 1: doing it on a whole different level, but across the 4435 03:39:44,760 --> 03:39:48,520 Speaker 1: board with professional sports, outside of a couple of isolated incidents, 4436 03:39:48,800 --> 03:39:51,440 Speaker 1: they've they've handled it pretty damn well. Yeah, yeah, they 4437 03:39:51,480 --> 03:39:54,240 Speaker 1: have the Look, the NBA has a clean sheet. Yeah, 4438 03:39:54,400 --> 03:39:57,000 Speaker 1: they haven't had a positive test in a month inside 4439 03:39:57,000 --> 03:39:59,120 Speaker 1: that bubble there. You know, I don't know how feasible 4440 03:39:59,120 --> 03:40:01,600 Speaker 1: it is to do mini bubbles for the NFL. I 4441 03:40:02,400 --> 03:40:05,879 Speaker 1: suggested that and was at a time pretty adamant about it. 4442 03:40:05,959 --> 03:40:08,279 Speaker 1: You know, when the really when the Marlins and Cardinals 4443 03:40:08,280 --> 03:40:10,880 Speaker 1: outbreaks hit, I'm like, damn football, I mean, this is 4444 03:40:10,920 --> 03:40:13,000 Speaker 1: the Achilles heal in this whole thing, is the fact 4445 03:40:13,000 --> 03:40:14,560 Speaker 1: that these guys get to leave the stadium and go 4446 03:40:14,640 --> 03:40:16,400 Speaker 1: home and not all of them are going to go home. 4447 03:40:16,720 --> 03:40:19,000 Speaker 1: It seems like what the Texans, they've all been going home. Yeah, 4448 03:40:19,320 --> 03:40:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, and you just it's so many players though, 4449 03:40:22,160 --> 03:40:25,200 Speaker 1: to trust in this thing, because you're going to reach 4450 03:40:25,240 --> 03:40:27,320 Speaker 1: a point. You're going to reach a point with it 4451 03:40:27,360 --> 03:40:31,200 Speaker 1: where the trust has to go beyond just your own building. 4452 03:40:31,360 --> 03:40:33,959 Speaker 1: For now, all the Texans need to trust is themselves. 4453 03:40:34,440 --> 03:40:37,760 Speaker 1: Because there's no preseason games, They're super vigilant about who 4454 03:40:37,760 --> 03:40:41,440 Speaker 1: they let in the in the practices outside of people 4455 03:40:41,440 --> 03:40:45,120 Speaker 1: who are employed by the team, and they're taking every precaution. 4456 03:40:45,120 --> 03:40:46,800 Speaker 1: I can tell you from being over there the last 4457 03:40:46,840 --> 03:40:49,480 Speaker 1: two days and being near the facility for the last week, 4458 03:40:49,720 --> 03:40:53,879 Speaker 1: getting tested myself every day going forward for the next 4459 03:40:53,879 --> 03:40:57,080 Speaker 1: few weeks until I'm told not to test anymore, that 4460 03:40:57,280 --> 03:41:01,520 Speaker 1: it's an incredibly smooth and joint operation when it comes 4461 03:41:01,520 --> 03:41:04,200 Speaker 1: to keeping the coronavirus out of that building. You're gonna 4462 03:41:04,200 --> 03:41:06,039 Speaker 1: reach a point where you travel to Kansas City and 4463 03:41:06,080 --> 03:41:07,920 Speaker 1: it's as much about what Kansas City has been doing 4464 03:41:07,920 --> 03:41:09,640 Speaker 1: as it is about what the Texans have been doing. Yeah. 4465 03:41:09,680 --> 03:41:11,800 Speaker 1: I actually ask JJ that exact question. He said, no, 4466 03:41:11,879 --> 03:41:14,200 Speaker 1: as long as they're testing, then I feel good about it. 4467 03:41:14,240 --> 03:41:16,800 Speaker 1: I gotta believe that these guys there's a little bit 4468 03:41:16,800 --> 03:41:19,920 Speaker 1: of a nervousness there with once you gets outside of 4469 03:41:19,959 --> 03:41:22,840 Speaker 1: the Houston bubble that Bill O'Brien and Jackie should be 4470 03:41:22,840 --> 03:41:26,160 Speaker 1: have created. But but Sean, you know, ultimately this whole thing, 4471 03:41:26,400 --> 03:41:30,200 Speaker 1: it's the trust aspect of it. At some point in time, 4472 03:41:31,480 --> 03:41:34,240 Speaker 1: one guy's gonna gonna pop a positive test at some 4473 03:41:34,360 --> 03:41:37,160 Speaker 1: point in time, and it's gonna come down to how 4474 03:41:37,200 --> 03:41:40,560 Speaker 1: does that one that one referee, or that one coach, 4475 03:41:40,680 --> 03:41:43,720 Speaker 1: or that one trainer or player they play a game 4476 03:41:43,800 --> 03:41:46,959 Speaker 1: that Sunday afternoon, and how does the league or the 4477 03:41:47,040 --> 03:41:50,000 Speaker 1: team or each individual, how do they keep that from 4478 03:41:50,040 --> 03:41:52,959 Speaker 1: spreading throughout the entire organization That it's gonna come down 4479 03:41:52,959 --> 03:41:55,840 Speaker 1: to that one moment. Yeah, all of this work is 4480 03:41:55,840 --> 03:41:57,680 Speaker 1: gonna come down to that one moment and how they 4481 03:41:57,720 --> 03:42:01,160 Speaker 1: handle that initial spread and initial report of that one 4482 03:42:01,280 --> 03:42:04,600 Speaker 1: positive test. We'll see, but it's worked out pretty good 4483 03:42:04,680 --> 03:42:07,119 Speaker 1: for the entire landscape of pro sports at this point. 4484 03:42:07,200 --> 03:42:08,959 Speaker 1: There was some news today that I know the NFL 4485 03:42:09,040 --> 03:42:10,560 Speaker 1: has been monitoring closely, and I'm not going to do 4486 03:42:10,600 --> 03:42:12,680 Speaker 1: a deep dive on this. I'll I'll recommend to the 4487 03:42:12,720 --> 03:42:18,040 Speaker 1: audience is that you go google saliva based coronavirus test 4488 03:42:18,280 --> 03:42:20,560 Speaker 1: NBA do they put that in the Google search engine 4489 03:42:20,560 --> 03:42:22,560 Speaker 1: and it's gonna you know, your Google machine will spit 4490 03:42:22,560 --> 03:42:24,840 Speaker 1: out the right articles. I'm looking at one from Zacalo, 4491 03:42:24,920 --> 03:42:27,400 Speaker 1: who covers the NBA for ESPN dot com, and it's 4492 03:42:27,400 --> 03:42:30,320 Speaker 1: a long article about a saliva based coronavirus test that 4493 03:42:30,400 --> 03:42:33,320 Speaker 1: was funded by the NBA and the NBA Players Association, 4494 03:42:33,800 --> 03:42:36,440 Speaker 1: and it got emergency authorization from the FDA, So this 4495 03:42:36,480 --> 03:42:39,960 Speaker 1: thing has been legitimized, and it's a saliva test. They 4496 03:42:39,959 --> 03:42:42,320 Speaker 1: already have a saliva test, but it takes a little 4497 03:42:42,320 --> 03:42:44,880 Speaker 1: longer to get the results back because there's some distraction 4498 03:42:44,959 --> 03:42:47,279 Speaker 1: they need to do with the samples, RNA or whatever. 4499 03:42:48,000 --> 03:42:49,160 Speaker 1: This is why I'm not going to do a deep 4500 03:42:49,200 --> 03:42:51,359 Speaker 1: dive on it, because I'll butcher some of the medical stuff. 4501 03:42:51,840 --> 03:42:53,640 Speaker 1: But this is also a football show. I don't want 4502 03:42:53,640 --> 03:42:55,280 Speaker 1: to go too far. But this is pertinent to keep 4503 03:42:55,280 --> 03:42:56,960 Speaker 1: in the game on the field because the NFL and 4504 03:42:57,000 --> 03:43:01,480 Speaker 1: the NFL Players Association have been monitoring this particular project 4505 03:43:01,600 --> 03:43:05,560 Speaker 1: very closely. Because this particular saliva test, which in the 4506 03:43:05,640 --> 03:43:07,800 Speaker 1: trials has been proven to be just as accurate as 4507 03:43:07,800 --> 03:43:09,520 Speaker 1: the one that takes twenty four hours to get the 4508 03:43:09,520 --> 03:43:12,240 Speaker 1: results back. You get your results back within a couple 4509 03:43:12,240 --> 03:43:15,680 Speaker 1: of hours. The process is much shorter to get from 4510 03:43:16,360 --> 03:43:20,080 Speaker 1: test to result, which would be a complete game changer. 4511 03:43:20,160 --> 03:43:23,080 Speaker 1: You could theoretically saliva test guys the morning of a 4512 03:43:23,160 --> 03:43:25,640 Speaker 1: game and get the results. You could do it twice 4513 03:43:25,680 --> 03:43:27,080 Speaker 1: if you had to, you know, and the morning. And 4514 03:43:27,640 --> 03:43:30,840 Speaker 1: that's the other thing. The test is super cheap. That's 4515 03:43:30,840 --> 03:43:32,680 Speaker 1: been the big thing. Like, man, it's so costly to 4516 03:43:32,720 --> 03:43:34,720 Speaker 1: test all these guys. You have fifty three players, you 4517 03:43:34,800 --> 03:43:37,400 Speaker 1: got all these staff members, these coaches, you got eighty 4518 03:43:37,440 --> 03:43:39,720 Speaker 1: players right now, you got these ten media jamoks who 4519 03:43:39,760 --> 03:43:42,680 Speaker 1: need to get tested every day. You know, like it's 4520 03:43:42,040 --> 03:43:44,360 Speaker 1: it's it adds up, it gets expensive. You got to 4521 03:43:44,400 --> 03:43:45,640 Speaker 1: send it off to a lab and this and that. 4522 03:43:45,879 --> 03:43:48,440 Speaker 1: These tests are like four bucks apiece or something like that. 4523 03:43:48,680 --> 03:43:51,120 Speaker 1: Cost Yeah, you know they for you know people that 4524 03:43:51,200 --> 03:43:53,280 Speaker 1: went to the doctor they charge twelve bucks for him 4525 03:43:53,360 --> 03:43:57,600 Speaker 1: or whatever. But it's it's incredibly encouraging. It's not a 4526 03:43:57,600 --> 03:44:00,640 Speaker 1: cure for the virus, but it's incredibly it's incredibly encouraging 4527 03:44:00,640 --> 03:44:02,959 Speaker 1: about us being able to get back to doing things 4528 03:44:02,959 --> 03:44:05,359 Speaker 1: we want to do, and most importantly for this conversation, 4529 03:44:05,720 --> 03:44:09,200 Speaker 1: keeping football on the field. This it's one more firewall, right. 4530 03:44:09,200 --> 03:44:11,320 Speaker 1: I mean there's multiple ways to try to keep it 4531 03:44:11,320 --> 03:44:13,560 Speaker 1: off the field, but to have one that that is 4532 03:44:13,600 --> 03:44:16,080 Speaker 1: so that that you can test and get a response 4533 03:44:16,120 --> 03:44:19,080 Speaker 1: back so close to kickoff, that's that's a bit. I mean, 4534 03:44:19,080 --> 03:44:21,879 Speaker 1: it's just one more uh you know, way to catch 4535 03:44:22,200 --> 03:44:25,080 Speaker 1: somebody if they were positive before coming in contact with 4536 03:44:25,120 --> 03:44:27,920 Speaker 1: too many people. So, um, yeah, man, that's that's big. 4537 03:44:27,920 --> 03:44:30,000 Speaker 1: I actually saw I think you retweeted that earlier. I 4538 03:44:30,000 --> 03:44:33,600 Speaker 1: actually read that article again way over my head the same, 4539 03:44:33,879 --> 03:44:35,760 Speaker 1: but I understood the gist of it. I just wanted 4540 03:44:35,800 --> 03:44:37,240 Speaker 1: to get to the part how much does it cost? 4541 03:44:37,320 --> 03:44:38,800 Speaker 1: How long to get the results back? And am I 4542 03:44:38,840 --> 03:44:41,120 Speaker 1: gonna get? Am I gonna get to watch football and 4543 03:44:41,160 --> 03:44:43,720 Speaker 1: basketball and baseball? That's what I want to know. Is 4544 03:44:43,840 --> 03:44:46,200 Speaker 1: WW gonna start running live shows again? I want to 4545 03:44:46,200 --> 03:44:49,879 Speaker 1: go to a house show at Toyota Center please, all right? Um, 4546 03:44:49,959 --> 03:44:53,080 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Look, Deshaun Watson is starting to build that 4547 03:44:53,240 --> 03:44:56,240 Speaker 1: profile and that portfolio. He's got a lot of sponsors, 4548 03:44:56,240 --> 03:44:58,039 Speaker 1: He's about to make a lot of he already makes 4549 03:44:58,040 --> 03:44:59,320 Speaker 1: a lot of money He's about to make a lot 4550 03:44:59,320 --> 03:45:02,400 Speaker 1: a lot of ye um on whatever his contract extension 4551 03:45:02,480 --> 03:45:04,400 Speaker 1: is going to be. Deshaun had some interesting things to 4552 03:45:04,480 --> 03:45:08,280 Speaker 1: say about balancing. Did you want to say something? Am 4553 03:45:08,280 --> 03:45:10,360 Speaker 1: I the only one that in here and Deshaun Watson 4554 03:45:10,360 --> 03:45:11,680 Speaker 1: talked to this point. I know it's only been a 4555 03:45:11,680 --> 03:45:13,280 Speaker 1: couple of days, but am I the only one that 4556 03:45:13,400 --> 03:45:18,240 Speaker 1: hears a different Deshaun Watson maybe a little bit maybe 4557 03:45:18,240 --> 03:45:20,880 Speaker 1: a little more confident, maybe a little bit more involved, 4558 03:45:21,000 --> 03:45:24,400 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more mature Deshaun Watson in terms 4559 03:45:24,400 --> 03:45:26,160 Speaker 1: of what he says and how he says it and 4560 03:45:26,200 --> 03:45:32,600 Speaker 1: the tone in which he uses uses yes, stretch, yeah. No. 4561 03:45:32,959 --> 03:45:35,400 Speaker 1: Well I say no only because I've watched him the 4562 03:45:35,440 --> 03:45:38,240 Speaker 1: last two days and he's carrying himself like that. John 4563 03:45:38,240 --> 03:45:41,240 Speaker 1: Harris said the same thing, like Johnny's like Deshaun. Deshaun 4564 03:45:41,400 --> 03:45:43,840 Speaker 1: is carrying himself like this is his team. Now. You 4565 03:45:43,879 --> 03:45:45,280 Speaker 1: can see it out there. You can see the the 4566 03:45:45,400 --> 03:45:48,160 Speaker 1: you can see the posture and the pep in his 4567 03:45:48,280 --> 03:45:50,480 Speaker 1: step and the way he's interacting with teammates and the 4568 03:45:50,480 --> 03:45:53,200 Speaker 1: way he's interacting with coaches, just the body language. It's 4569 03:45:53,720 --> 03:45:56,240 Speaker 1: he was already a really confident guy, but I think 4570 03:45:56,240 --> 03:45:58,400 Speaker 1: there is something to what you're saying here is Deshaun 4571 03:45:58,560 --> 03:46:02,960 Speaker 1: on brand building, but where football falls in the priority chain, 4572 03:46:03,040 --> 03:46:05,480 Speaker 1: football always come first. And in each brand that I 4573 03:46:05,520 --> 03:46:07,760 Speaker 1: work with, we may sure we know that we don't 4574 03:46:08,160 --> 03:46:10,959 Speaker 1: allow anything off the field to interfere with what's going 4575 03:46:11,000 --> 03:46:13,520 Speaker 1: on on the field. Um, So you know that's the 4576 03:46:13,560 --> 03:46:15,959 Speaker 1: first thing. And then really for me, it's just really 4577 03:46:16,000 --> 03:46:18,080 Speaker 1: just you know, who can I trust, Who Who can 4578 03:46:18,080 --> 03:46:21,360 Speaker 1: I vibe with? Who can I you know, it's gonna 4579 03:46:21,440 --> 03:46:24,720 Speaker 1: make me, uh, you know, feel fulfilled my potential in 4580 03:46:24,800 --> 03:46:27,119 Speaker 1: my dreams and what I want to do off the field. Um, 4581 03:46:27,280 --> 03:46:29,520 Speaker 1: and and that reaches you know, my goals and my 4582 03:46:29,640 --> 03:46:31,640 Speaker 1: values of what I want to do, you know, use 4583 03:46:31,680 --> 03:46:33,960 Speaker 1: this platform for and that's you know, of course being 4584 03:46:34,000 --> 03:46:36,480 Speaker 1: in the community, being able to serve other people. Then 4585 03:46:36,560 --> 03:46:38,520 Speaker 1: also having fun and doing the things that I want 4586 03:46:38,520 --> 03:46:41,640 Speaker 1: to do, you know, within the brand. So um yeah, 4587 03:46:41,640 --> 03:46:43,960 Speaker 1: it's really just like a It's like a big family 4588 03:46:44,040 --> 03:46:46,920 Speaker 1: for me. So everyone that I associate with, I treat 4589 03:46:46,959 --> 03:46:49,240 Speaker 1: everything and treat everyone like a family. I don't think 4590 03:46:49,280 --> 03:46:51,039 Speaker 1: de Sean's ever a guy where you gotta worry about 4591 03:46:51,120 --> 03:46:53,920 Speaker 1: the brand building and the off the field stuff. Ever 4592 03:46:54,360 --> 03:46:59,040 Speaker 1: starting to uh blot out the football. Some I bleed 4593 03:46:59,080 --> 03:47:01,280 Speaker 1: into the football. Some I guess the bottom line all 4594 03:47:01,280 --> 03:47:03,200 Speaker 1: people care about it. Does it affect the football? Yeah, 4595 03:47:03,280 --> 03:47:04,879 Speaker 1: Kenmy Kimmy handle it. Can you know, when you get 4596 03:47:04,879 --> 03:47:07,240 Speaker 1: a guy like that, whether it's JJ Water or Deshaun Watson, 4597 03:47:07,240 --> 03:47:09,760 Speaker 1: it's can they handle the workload of of what their 4598 03:47:09,840 --> 03:47:13,480 Speaker 1: their position and their their job, you know, demands of 4599 03:47:13,560 --> 03:47:16,600 Speaker 1: him and do those things? Um, you know on the side. 4600 03:47:16,640 --> 03:47:18,760 Speaker 1: And that's one thing I don't remember if it was 4601 03:47:18,800 --> 03:47:22,160 Speaker 1: you or John earlier talking about Deshaun Watson, and you 4602 03:47:22,160 --> 03:47:23,800 Speaker 1: know when I got a little bit of time in here, 4603 03:47:24,480 --> 03:47:26,800 Speaker 1: um to talk to him up here in the studio 4604 03:47:26,959 --> 03:47:30,240 Speaker 1: and watch film with him after you did your interview. UM, 4605 03:47:31,920 --> 03:47:39,080 Speaker 1: I get a sense that Deshaun Watson is UM, he's 4606 03:47:39,280 --> 03:47:42,480 Speaker 1: never obviously he's great, but he's a lot of guys 4607 03:47:42,520 --> 03:47:47,520 Speaker 1: in his shoes tune people out. UM. Maybe maybe don't 4608 03:47:47,879 --> 03:47:50,879 Speaker 1: aren't as coachable as as they should be because of 4609 03:47:50,920 --> 03:47:54,800 Speaker 1: the success they've had or the talent they they they possess. 4610 03:47:55,400 --> 03:47:57,720 Speaker 1: But he struck. I remember in here, Shawnie I said 4611 03:47:57,760 --> 03:47:59,280 Speaker 1: something about it was it was the when I was 4612 03:47:59,280 --> 03:48:04,520 Speaker 1: talking about the DeAndre Hopkins pass versus the Cowboys in overtime. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 4613 03:48:04,560 --> 03:48:06,920 Speaker 1: and he catches it, he does the double spin or 4614 03:48:06,920 --> 03:48:09,959 Speaker 1: whatever and yeah. Um. I made a comment when when 4615 03:48:10,000 --> 03:48:12,920 Speaker 1: we were on the at the at the screen talking 4616 03:48:13,000 --> 03:48:15,120 Speaker 1: and I said, this is a very easy read. Right. 4617 03:48:15,160 --> 03:48:17,000 Speaker 1: All you do as a quarterback is you take the snap. 4618 03:48:17,000 --> 03:48:18,720 Speaker 1: You read this left side of the field, which is 4619 03:48:18,800 --> 03:48:21,160 Speaker 1: ultimately where Hopkins ended up catching the ball. I said, 4620 03:48:21,160 --> 03:48:22,640 Speaker 1: all you're doing is reading that and if there's a 4621 03:48:22,680 --> 03:48:24,280 Speaker 1: defender there, you check it down. If there's not a 4622 03:48:24,320 --> 03:48:27,080 Speaker 1: defender there, it's a throwing ocean. And he looked at 4623 03:48:27,120 --> 03:48:30,400 Speaker 1: me like the way I the way I took it was. 4624 03:48:30,440 --> 03:48:32,280 Speaker 1: He looked at me like, I've never like we read 4625 03:48:32,320 --> 03:48:34,440 Speaker 1: that differently, I've never heard that. And when we got 4626 03:48:34,440 --> 03:48:37,119 Speaker 1: done afterwards in the hallway, he made it a point 4627 03:48:37,120 --> 03:48:39,279 Speaker 1: to say, hey man, I want to get together sometime 4628 03:48:39,320 --> 03:48:41,320 Speaker 1: and talk football. And it was all based off of 4629 03:48:41,400 --> 03:48:44,640 Speaker 1: like that. He's that dialed in, and he's most most 4630 03:48:44,680 --> 03:48:46,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks would be like they get the hell out of 4631 03:48:46,080 --> 03:48:48,280 Speaker 1: your old washed up ass radio guy, get out of here. 4632 03:48:48,360 --> 03:48:50,280 Speaker 1: But he or just wouldn't have listened to what you 4633 03:48:50,280 --> 03:48:53,120 Speaker 1: were saying, just agreed with you. And roved like like 4634 03:48:53,200 --> 03:48:57,359 Speaker 1: he he is very thoughtful, yes, and he's he's very curious, 4635 03:48:58,120 --> 03:49:00,280 Speaker 1: very curious as a right where like very curio, Like, 4636 03:49:00,320 --> 03:49:01,879 Speaker 1: wait a minute, you mean to tell me the way 4637 03:49:01,920 --> 03:49:04,160 Speaker 1: you were taught that route was a little bit different. 4638 03:49:04,160 --> 03:49:07,360 Speaker 1: It's actually that easy. And he didn't just just alright 4639 03:49:07,400 --> 03:49:09,440 Speaker 1: get rushed out the back door. He made it a 4640 03:49:09,440 --> 03:49:11,800 Speaker 1: point to stop and say something next time you know 4641 03:49:11,840 --> 03:49:14,400 Speaker 1: about it. And to me that it just strikes me, 4642 03:49:14,520 --> 03:49:16,920 Speaker 1: is that's the kind of guy you're dealing with. Is 4643 03:49:16,960 --> 03:49:20,360 Speaker 1: he's never gonna be above coaching. He's never gonna put 4644 03:49:20,400 --> 03:49:22,680 Speaker 1: something in front of the game. And my whole point 4645 03:49:22,720 --> 03:49:26,520 Speaker 1: is Sean because he genuinely and sincerely loves the game 4646 03:49:26,600 --> 03:49:29,400 Speaker 1: to the point where nothing's ever gonna even threaten it. 4647 03:49:29,440 --> 03:49:31,680 Speaker 1: When me, I don't know that I love the game enough. 4648 03:49:31,720 --> 03:49:34,000 Speaker 1: There was a lot of things that that threatened my 4649 03:49:34,280 --> 03:49:36,280 Speaker 1: love for the game when you talked to de Sean 4650 03:49:36,360 --> 03:49:38,320 Speaker 1: watching even J. J. Watt, when you hear those guys 4651 03:49:38,360 --> 03:49:42,040 Speaker 1: talk like there's nothing even gonna threat brand you know 4652 03:49:42,560 --> 03:49:45,360 Speaker 1: something about a brand or um you know, the just 4653 03:49:45,400 --> 03:49:49,240 Speaker 1: putting up a block to being coached from anybody and everybody. 4654 03:49:49,480 --> 03:49:51,440 Speaker 1: Those guys are just on a whole different level. Here's 4655 03:49:51,560 --> 03:49:55,080 Speaker 1: JJ Watt on Watson. He's talking about de Sean. Here 4656 03:49:55,440 --> 03:49:58,880 Speaker 1: Watson balancing being a superstar and a leader. He's done 4657 03:49:58,920 --> 03:50:01,320 Speaker 1: a good job with it. I mean, he understands the 4658 03:50:01,320 --> 03:50:04,200 Speaker 1: situation he's in. Like you said, he's come from a 4659 03:50:04,280 --> 03:50:07,520 Speaker 1: situation where he's won national championships, he's been there for 4660 03:50:07,560 --> 03:50:09,560 Speaker 1: the Heisman, he's done all those things, so he's kind 4661 03:50:09,560 --> 03:50:13,480 Speaker 1: of built up that reputation. He's also lived through it, 4662 03:50:14,160 --> 03:50:16,000 Speaker 1: so he knows how to handle big moments. He knows 4663 03:50:16,000 --> 03:50:18,040 Speaker 1: how to handle those situations and not let it get 4664 03:50:18,080 --> 03:50:20,480 Speaker 1: to him and not let it knock him off his course. 4665 03:50:20,480 --> 03:50:23,440 Speaker 1: So the work always comes first, and I think he 4666 03:50:23,440 --> 03:50:24,800 Speaker 1: does a good job with that, and he does a 4667 03:50:24,800 --> 03:50:27,600 Speaker 1: good job with our team. JJ's got to feel, you know, 4668 03:50:27,640 --> 03:50:30,920 Speaker 1: for a guy who's thirty one, great player, maybe the 4669 03:50:30,920 --> 03:50:34,720 Speaker 1: best defensive player I've ever seen at his peak, but 4670 03:50:34,840 --> 03:50:39,800 Speaker 1: a guy who has you know, he said, the unfortunate coincidence, 4671 03:50:39,840 --> 03:50:42,160 Speaker 1: I guess, of being on teams that just haven't been 4672 03:50:42,200 --> 03:50:45,640 Speaker 1: able to make deep playoff runs or been the coincidence 4673 03:50:45,640 --> 03:50:47,600 Speaker 1: over the last five or six y's really since Bill 4674 03:50:47,600 --> 03:50:50,680 Speaker 1: O'Brien got here and prior to Deshaun Watson getting here, 4675 03:50:50,720 --> 03:50:53,680 Speaker 1: of being on teams that were probably other than the quarterback, 4676 03:50:53,760 --> 03:50:55,920 Speaker 1: pretty damn good football teams, you know, if they had 4677 03:50:56,000 --> 03:50:59,640 Speaker 1: something more than Ryan Fitzpatrick or Brian Hoyer. Certainly brock Oswaer, 4678 03:50:59,680 --> 03:51:02,360 Speaker 1: but Brock was here was when JJ's body started breaking down. 4679 03:51:02,880 --> 03:51:05,840 Speaker 1: But brocket quarterback, you know, like and even Matt Shab 4680 03:51:05,880 --> 03:51:09,040 Speaker 1: at the end when JJ was really starting to come 4681 03:51:09,080 --> 03:51:12,520 Speaker 1: into his own in twenty thirteen, people came up. JJ 4682 03:51:12,720 --> 03:51:18,880 Speaker 1: played on Texan teams that four five consecutive seasons, the 4683 03:51:18,960 --> 03:51:23,400 Speaker 1: starting quarterback was eventually replaced for performance reasons, and it 4684 03:51:23,480 --> 03:51:28,480 Speaker 1: was five different quarterbacks. I'm going somewhere with this. For 4685 03:51:28,600 --> 03:51:32,240 Speaker 1: five straight seasons, from twenty thirteen through twenty seventeen, JJ 4686 03:51:32,360 --> 03:51:35,240 Speaker 1: Watt played for Texan teams in which the week one 4687 03:51:35,440 --> 03:51:38,680 Speaker 1: starting quarterback was replaced at some point during the season 4688 03:51:38,680 --> 03:51:42,400 Speaker 1: for performance reasons. Matt Shab was replaced because he could 4689 03:51:42,440 --> 03:51:46,200 Speaker 1: not stop throwing pick sixes. Ryan Fitzpatrick was replaced because 4690 03:51:46,280 --> 03:51:50,480 Speaker 1: he wasn't very good. Brian Hoyer was replaced three quarters 4691 03:51:50,480 --> 03:51:52,840 Speaker 1: of a game into the season because he wasn't very good. 4692 03:51:53,120 --> 03:51:55,400 Speaker 1: Brock Oswiler, it took almost a whole season, but by 4693 03:51:55,440 --> 03:51:58,320 Speaker 1: week sixteen, Bill O'Brien had had enough. Tom Savage. You're 4694 03:51:58,360 --> 03:52:00,640 Speaker 1: in speaking of Tom Savage, he is the starter in 4695 03:52:00,680 --> 03:52:03,040 Speaker 1: week one of Deshaun's rookie year. He was done by 4696 03:52:03,080 --> 03:52:05,320 Speaker 1: halftime of that season. Much that there's a sugrin of 4697 03:52:05,360 --> 03:52:09,280 Speaker 1: Tom Savage's agent so um, which is still one of 4698 03:52:09,280 --> 03:52:12,160 Speaker 1: the most bizarre interviews ever. And it's been Deshaun Watson 4699 03:52:12,200 --> 03:52:13,960 Speaker 1: ever since. And it's gonna be Deshaun Watson for the 4700 03:52:14,000 --> 03:52:16,680 Speaker 1: next decade and however long here you know, for ten 4701 03:52:16,840 --> 03:52:19,360 Speaker 1: fifteen years, it's gonna be. It's gonna be Deshaun Watson. 4702 03:52:19,520 --> 03:52:21,880 Speaker 1: Think about being a great player and think about going 4703 03:52:21,960 --> 03:52:24,200 Speaker 1: into every not every season, but think about going in 4704 03:52:24,240 --> 03:52:28,040 Speaker 1: every Sunday during seasons like that with that being your 4705 03:52:28,120 --> 03:52:30,560 Speaker 1: quarterback and going on on the other side. J J. 4706 03:52:30,680 --> 03:52:33,400 Speaker 1: Watt elite for an older player who's trying to get 4707 03:52:33,440 --> 03:52:34,920 Speaker 1: to a super Bowl and trying to get a super 4708 03:52:34,920 --> 03:52:37,920 Speaker 1: Bowl to stamp his resume. As you guys talked about 4709 03:52:37,920 --> 03:52:41,240 Speaker 1: with him, he wants it bad. He's got to feel 4710 03:52:41,240 --> 03:52:43,960 Speaker 1: at least that he's equipped at that quarterback position, you 4711 03:52:43,960 --> 03:52:45,600 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, at least I'm going in 4712 03:52:45,640 --> 03:52:47,800 Speaker 1: every Sunday with a quarterback that gives me way more 4713 03:52:47,840 --> 03:52:50,680 Speaker 1: than a puncher's chance. Seawan, that that might be precisely 4714 03:52:50,720 --> 03:52:52,800 Speaker 1: what fuels him at this point now, because I mean 4715 03:52:52,840 --> 03:52:55,000 Speaker 1: he's got a gold jacket, baby, I mean he's going 4716 03:52:55,080 --> 03:52:57,880 Speaker 1: down in his three I mean ago, yeah, but he mean, Sean, 4717 03:52:58,200 --> 03:53:00,960 Speaker 1: he's built a resume where he's going out in history 4718 03:53:01,160 --> 03:53:03,840 Speaker 1: with the greatest to ever do it, the Reggie Whites 4719 03:53:03,880 --> 03:53:06,400 Speaker 1: and guys that are and that he's going down. It's 4720 03:53:06,440 --> 03:53:09,400 Speaker 1: all about the super Bowl, and it's you got to 4721 03:53:09,440 --> 03:53:11,600 Speaker 1: think that he gets up every day and goes Okay, 4722 03:53:11,640 --> 03:53:14,200 Speaker 1: I've got a supporting cast starting with number four to 4723 03:53:14,280 --> 03:53:17,560 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson that I could see at the end that 4724 03:53:17,600 --> 03:53:18,840 Speaker 1: the light at the end of the tunnel will be 4725 03:53:18,880 --> 03:53:21,120 Speaker 1: in a super Bowl if if the stars aligned for 4726 03:53:21,200 --> 03:53:23,800 Speaker 1: us man, and so yeah, that maybe just just precisely 4727 03:53:23,840 --> 03:53:26,440 Speaker 1: what in the hell's motivating? Yeah, I mean it's that's 4728 03:53:27,000 --> 03:53:28,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what. At what point 4729 03:53:28,360 --> 03:53:29,880 Speaker 1: you get into a great career and you're like, man, 4730 03:53:29,920 --> 03:53:31,680 Speaker 1: I need reasons to get up And then JJ didn't 4731 03:53:31,680 --> 03:53:33,440 Speaker 1: feel like he needs reasons to get up in the morning. 4732 03:53:33,840 --> 03:53:35,920 Speaker 1: But you gotta feel like he got hoped man, you know, 4733 03:53:36,000 --> 03:53:37,600 Speaker 1: going into a sea to say you would if if 4734 03:53:37,720 --> 03:53:40,120 Speaker 1: what you do those five years you just if they 4735 03:53:40,120 --> 03:53:42,200 Speaker 1: were falling right now.
