1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Ten five touchdown. Joe stand there is no off season

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: for your Houston Texans. Game day is every day. No,

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: it's Texans, All Lexans. What's going on? I already welcome

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: into a Tuesday edition of Texans All Access. I am

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: your host, Mark VanderMeer, the Voice of the Texans. No,

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm just so used to hearing those words

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: to start off a Tuesday show. But Mark will not

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: be with me this evening. Oh something about I don't know,

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: partners and golf and making an appearance and shaking hands

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: of kissing baby sort of thing. So that's what the

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: Voice of Texans has been doing today. Meanwhile, I grind,

12
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: I kid a kid, not about that grind part. I mean,

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: I do that. I hate that word grind. He's just

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: watching tape and seeing if guys fit and whether they're

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: good or not. But that said, I'm just kidding Marks

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: out doing Yeoman's work for the Texans. He will be

17
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: back tomorrow on our Wednesday night show. I find a

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: Wednesday night draft show. But because Mark and are flipping

19
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: shows a figure, you know what, Let's do what we

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: do on Wednesday. Let's do that tonight and let's talk

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: a little draft, and I had this idea. I saw

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: I saw something posting on the twitters about the Texans

23
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: draft picks and where where they're drafting, And earlier this

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: week I had told my department that the Harris one

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: hundred has turned into a Harris two fifty, which is

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: longer than the Texans draft picks. The last Texans draft

27
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: pick is at two thirty three. Now the draft goes

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: I think to two fifty six if I remember in full,

29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: so I'll add probably a few I'll make it probably

30
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: a Hairs three fifty before it's all said numb. But

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: right now it's Harris two fifty, and it was gonna

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: be a Harris two hundred. And then as I added

33
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: more players to my Harris one hundred, I'm like, oh man,

34
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: I've got two hundred and fifty players here. Oh well,

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: it's not a bad thing. Help we get ready for

36
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: the draft. It's no big deal. So I figured, all right,

37
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: what if at every single spot that won't happen. But

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: what if we unwrapped pick number sixty seven and you

39
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: already knew who it was going to be based on

40
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: the Harris one hundred. It's like, yeah, man, let's do

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: that let's see what we would do if we just

42
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: opened up the pack of cards, if you will, and

43
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: went with the number and where I have that player

44
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: in the Harris one hundred, and see what we'd come

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: up with. It's like unwrapping baseball cards. And I'll be honest,

46
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't have I don't have any idea. So I'm

47
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: hitting you with this. I have no I didn't put

48
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: players at these positions. I just I just went with it.

49
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: I ranked them. I actually, for a long time, I

50
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: haven't really paid attention to I knew where the Texans were,

51
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: like rounds, how many they had in particular rounds. I

52
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: didn't know what numbers they were, and all that kind

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: of stuff. And for a long time, well you didn't

54
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: have the the supplemental picks and all that. That kind

55
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: of competitory picks in the order changes a lot. So

56
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: I figured, all right, let's do this first picks at

57
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: number sixty seven. If the Texans followed, oh boy, the

58
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: Harris one hundred to a t and just went, John,

59
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: we're going with everybody, just how you haven't ranked. Now,

60
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do this because I well maybe I wouldn't

61
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: do this. There would be some players I probably would

62
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: weed out that I don't think would be good for

63
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: the Texans. For us going forward, this guy at number

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: sixty seven would be fantastic. At number sixty seven, the

65
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Harris one hundred and in round three, at pick number

66
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: sixty seven, the Texans select Jamar Johnson, safety from out

67
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: of Indiana. Now, if you haven't seen him play, then

68
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: well let me introduce you. Young man from Florida, played

69
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: at Indiana ball hawk. When you go and you just

70
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: I try to watch as much as I can with her.

71
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: It's games on tape, whether it's on YouTube, whether it's

72
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: how anything to get my hand on, hands on, And

73
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: so I went to YouTube and I found this video

74
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: twenty He bought a number twenty two, So they had

75
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: twenty two plays that make Jamar Johnson a draft pick,

76
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: and it kind of canvasses his career. He's done some

77
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: stuff on the field, like wow, his best game I

78
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: thought was actually against Ohio State and justin fields. I

79
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: thought he played tremendous in that game. Now, I don't

80
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: think he's a great tackler, but I do think he's

81
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: a ball hawk and a good one at that. You

82
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: put Jamar Johnson in that secondary next to Justin Reid,

83
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: and at some point the ball is coming back over

84
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: to the other side, our side. Jamar Johnson pick number

85
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: sixty seven would be fantastic. Now, I didn't have him

86
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: in my initial Harris one hundred because he's off my

87
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: radar screen. He was a guy that declared declared early

88
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: for the draft, but did late in the process, and

89
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I gotta just watch

90
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: him later. I liked what I saw of him when

91
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: I just watched games, but I gotta study him a

92
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: ton of time. I'll do it later. When I did

93
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: it later, oh, I thought a guy that I really like.

94
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: All right, So Jamar Johnson is the day to pick.

95
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: You go home that night and you're like, how do

96
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: you feel about it? John? I feel really good. I

97
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: feel very good. So we move today three and it

98
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: starts at pick number one O nine. At pick number

99
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: one oh nine, Oh boy one O nine, the Texans

100
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: get a corner corner by the name of Ambree Thomas

101
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: from out of Michigan five eleven seven eighths, basically six

102
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: foot one nineties. So I'm at the Senior Bowl and

103
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: I thought he was kind of up or down some

104
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: people will have him a little bit higher. He's incredibly

105
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: tall out a guy four three seven to forty thirty

106
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: eight inch vert. I mean he's got physical skills. He

107
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: sat out twenty twenty dude COVID, and I don't know

108
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: if that's setting back a little bit. He had a

109
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: little bit of rust he had to shake off down

110
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. I don't know that he ultimately

111
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: did that. He's definitely a cover guy. He's not gonna

112
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: come up and hammer people at the point of attack.

113
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: But I think in man coverage, I think he would

114
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: fare a little bit better. I think corners that they're

115
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: gonna be good in man, I think it'd be okay.

116
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: And zone I think got pretty good instincts I would imagine,

117
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: and I feel that way with Amrey Thomas. But Ambry

118
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 1: Thomas getting him pick number one O nine, the first

119
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: and only pick the Texans have in the fourth round,

120
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: I feel it would be a solid pick. So we've

121
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: attacked the secondary by just going by what we have

122
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: in the Harris one hundred. So we go to the

123
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: fifth round. We got to pick one fifty seven, and

124
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm unveiling this just like I'm announcing it to you.

125
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: It's new to me. I mean, like I have players ranked,

126
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly where I have him ranks. So

127
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: when I get to one forty seven, oh my goodness.

128
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: This guy. Actually, when I think of him being at

129
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: one forty seven, I feel like, man, maybe I'm a

130
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: little low. But I talked about and we'll talk about

131
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: it in the next segment with Drew Doherty on our

132
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: in the Lab podcast. The receiver position is stacked, so

133
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to get at pick number one

134
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: forty seven in this draft from Stanford, seem Fehoko six

135
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: four two twenty two ran in the four four range

136
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: and I when I saw him during the year and

137
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: he took him, he took him more of the mission,

138
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: so he was gone, I think for two seasons. When

139
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: I saw him come back this year and I was like,

140
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: whoa right write his name down, like keep Fayhoko, um,

141
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, and he can't really like forget the name Fayhoko.

142
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: It's unique and his game is unique. A guy with

143
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: that size should not be that fast. And I feel

144
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: like maybe I'm short changing him at one forty seven.

145
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: But there are so many darkgood receiver in this draft.

146
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's let's see twenty one, twenty two, twenty three,

147
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: that's I mean, he's a twenty three receivers draft, and

148
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to make a case like can

149
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: you put him ahead of Austin Watkins. I don't think so.

150
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: That's Patrick. I don't know, but slants separation from DBS,

151
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: goes deep, picks it off DB's heads. I don't know

152
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: that he's a complete receiver, but to me, he's kind

153
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: of a He's kind of a poor man's Chase Claypool.

154
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: You know, Claypool was drafted by the Steelers. Some people

155
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: thought he was overdraft in second round, but he went

156
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh became a go to guy for Ben Roethlisberger

157
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: because of that athleticism. I think Semi Fijoco at one

158
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: forty seven could end up being a guy kind of

159
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: like that. All right, it's got to pick one fifty eight.

160
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: This one comes from the Patriots in a deal that

161
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: was made. I think this was a swap maybe with

162
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: the Marcus Cannon trade. At one fifty eight, the Texans

163
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: select this guy I saw at the senior boat. I'd

164
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: have my eyes on him for a couple of years now. Defensive,

165
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: tall defensive and Malik Herring now at Georgia he played

166
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: defensive end. He's two hundred and eighty three pounds. He

167
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: I think can play out on the edge. He to

168
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: me is somebody that might be out on the edge

169
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: on first and second down and then move inside to

170
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: rush on third down. You know, something like Charles A

171
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: Manner who could could potentially do depending on how you

172
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: put the pieces together out on the edge. You know,

173
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: if you want to get your best rushers, you know,

174
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: out on the field, you might have to have somebody

175
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: go inside. Malik Harring is a guy that could absolutely

176
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: do that. Play the run on first, second down, jump inside,

177
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: rush against the guard. He's not as long as Charles Manhu,

178
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: but he plays the game violently out on the edge,

179
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: sets the edge. I think he would be a fantastic

180
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: pick at one fifty eight. Malik Herring, thus far, following

181
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: the Harris one hundred has gotten us a safety, a

182
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: ball hawking safety, a man of man, a corner, a

183
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: sixty four, two hundred twenty pound wide receiver, runs in

184
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: the four four range with a ton of webside and

185
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: Malik Harry a very versatile and here's the thing. Versatile

186
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: doesn't mean a guy can just line up and play

187
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: different spots. First of all, means a guy can line

188
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: up and be good at different spots. So there you're

189
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: going to pick one fifty eight Malik Herring. All right,

190
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: move on into the sixth round and we go to

191
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: pick number one nine five oh Man, one ninety five.

192
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: Ye Now, sal said down, he might be a little

193
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: higher than one ninety five. But here's the issue with

194
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: Avery Williams from Boise State. He played corner, he played nickel.

195
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: I think he's probably a nickel. He's he's under five nine,

196
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: he's five eight, and he's less than five eight and

197
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: a half. He's one hundred and eighty seven pounds. But

198
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: he is dynamic with the ball in his hands. There

199
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: are some teams that work him out at Pro Day

200
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: at running back. If there is a team that I

201
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: could see him going to where hey, you might play nickel,

202
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: you might play running back, you might return, you might

203
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: do all of those things. I think this one would

204
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: be a great spot. The Patriots is the that's the

205
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: first one you think about because if they've done it before,

206
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: guys like Troy Brown, Julian Edelman rushed from the edge

207
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: playing a nickel Aavie Williams could be that guy at

208
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: one five in the sixth round. Very very intriguing, all right,

209
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: That pick came from the Cowboys and Patriots go to

210
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: number two oh three. This went through a number of

211
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: different teams before it got here in a two oh

212
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: three Penn State transfer. In the clients, one of my

213
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: good friends, Zach mcthierson, having met two oh three again,

214
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: might be a little law on him. I feel like

215
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be gone before two oh three, So

216
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: I know I've got some adjustments to do here. But

217
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: Zach mcfierson comes in five eleven ninety one, has the

218
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: ability planning outside transfer from Penn State four to five

219
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: one in the forty forty and a half inch vertical.

220
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what those numbers he's gonna get down

221
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: to two h three. I really don't, but I should

222
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: look at me, look around my list. I figure, okay,

223
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: how can I move things around? I probably would give

224
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: him a little bit better the benefit of the doubt

225
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: that he does played corner, so I don't think he's

226
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: gonna be there two oh three. But right now, that's

227
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: what the Harris one hundred says, and that's what we're

228
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: going with. Actually, the Harris two fifty al right, next

229
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: pick is at two twelve. This one comes from the Saints,

230
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: and it's the last one of round six and at

231
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: two twelve, Tyree Gillespie. Okay, I guarantee you. Tyree Gillespie's

232
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: not there. At two twelve runs extremely well. I think

233
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: he's got some undisciplined parts to his game, and as

234
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: part of the reason why I don't have him ranked

235
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: higher than where I think he's gonna go. I think

236
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna end up on it to fifty sixth round.

237
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get all the way late

238
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: sixth round. But Tyree Gillespie to go along with Jamar Johnson.

239
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: Guy's gonna be incredible on special teams. But he is

240
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: a hammer hammer. I didn't love him at the Senior Bowl.

241
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: That was one of the reasons why I was not

242
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: hopped up on him. All right's get to the last pick,

243
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: round seven, two thirty three. This is according to Harris

244
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: one hundred right now, and had picked two thirty three.

245
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: Oh boy, this might be. I think I've got Ernest Brown,

246
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: the fourth from Northwestern, very low I was actually studying

247
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: Greg Newsom in the Big Ten championship game and number

248
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: ninety nine made a play, and I'm like, yo, who

249
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: is that dog? Ernest Brown from Northwestern. It was kind

250
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: of it was a quiet declaration. I did not hear

251
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: that he had declared for the draft, and so I

252
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: was kind of going by my business and I'm like,

253
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: who's this guy? And I saw my fine Ernest browab like, okay,

254
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: I gotta track this guy in the future. And then

255
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: I read somewhere where he declared. So I don't know

256
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: that I've done my absolute, complete due diligence on Ernest Brown.

257
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: I think this dude can absolutely play. There's no question.

258
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: You walk out of there with this list of players.

259
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: Man holy smokes. Jamar Johnson in the third round at

260
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: pick one oh nine. We had Ambrey Thomas at pick

261
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: one forty seven. I don't we Oh yeah. We had

262
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: Semi Fihoko at pick number one fifty eight. We had

263
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: Malik Harry the defensive end from Georgia one ninety five.

264
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: We had Avery Williams cornerback, Nico Return running back, all

265
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: round weapon, Avery Williams from Boise State at two oh three.

266
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: Zach McPherson, the corner from Texas Tech, the transfer of

267
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: Penn State. At two twelve, Tyree Gillespie, the safety from Missouri,

268
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: and at two thirty three Ernest Brown, the fourth from

269
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: the Northwestern defensive end light Herring who could play outside,

270
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: can maybe rushed inside. He' two hundred seventy pounds, so

271
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: I could see him kind of sticking on the outside

272
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: thirty four and a half in charms. He's closer in

273
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: body types to Charles, a man who than the Malik.

274
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: Is Malik's bigger, thicker, but not as long. Very interesting

275
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: as you had those two guys to the edge, one

276
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: offensive player in that mix, depending on how you every Williams.

277
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: So there you go, a little mock draft Harris two

278
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: fifty style. All right, we get back Drew and I

Speaker 1: Drew and I talked a little bit about that. We

307
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: talked about a visit with a good old Texan and

308
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: then what potential receivers, what the Texans look at at

309
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: number sixty seven and beyond here's in the lab. We've

310
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: not given this the proper recognition, proper attention. But you've

311
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: been calling football games for a while. You're in the spring,

312
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: and that's that's I mean, that's an exciting that's so

313
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: much fun to do a call games, right, yeah, yeah,

314
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: in the color commentary. But how has spring football been

315
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: for you? I'm sure in many ways it's like riding

316
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: a bike. It's like, uh, you know what what you do.

317
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: But I'm sure in other ways it's just surreal and

318
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: weird that you're calling games or that as opposed to

319
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: in the autumn. Give me, um, give us the readers

320
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: digest version of how this has all gone down for you,

321
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: because I know it's weird like the rest of COVID,

322
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, why has it been weird for you? I'll

323
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: be honest, I don't know that it really has. Just

324
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: the dating time, I mean, honestly, huh, the there been crowds.

325
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: Sam's band has been there on the far side. I've

326
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: been calling the games for same Pista State. I've done

327
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: their three home games. They've won the Southland. They with

328
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: their five and zero and they needed uh in Carnet

329
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: Word to lose to Northwestern Safe to be outright champs.

330
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: They've got one more game against the Carnet Work, which

331
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: was supposed to be at the beginning of the year.

332
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: But the winter storm. You know, that's different. The winter

333
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: storm knocked that game out, moved that game to the

334
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: end of the year. But you know, Dre, I think

335
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, the one difference really if there, if there

336
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: is one, is just weather. You know, those first games

337
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: in September can be a disaster. I mean they're just

338
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: guys falling out, cramping up. You know, it's ninety five degrees,

339
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: it's one hundred percent humidity, and I mean it's just brutal,

340
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: even up in the in the press box. We got

341
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: the windows open, and it's just, man, We've got to

342
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: get through this game. Last week's game, last Saturday's game

343
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: we did against Big Nice. It was seventy five degrees

344
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: but about a ten to fifteen amount hour win. It

345
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: was just gorgeous and I was like, I can't Yeah,

346
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: I can get used to this. But in all honesty, Drew,

347
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll tell you that there really isn't

348
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: anything weird about it other than one odd thing. And

349
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: maybe I'm the only one that picked this up. I

350
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: can't figure out who's eligible for the NFL Draft and

351
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: who isn't. Oh yeah, and it's really it's it's it's odd.

352
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: I saw a post by a defensive linement from Stony

353
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: Brook and he posted I'm going to the NFL drafted

354
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. This was like maybe two weeks ago,

355
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: and I thought that I had heard. I thought I

356
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: heard this on March first. Those players had to decide.

357
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: I've seen a couple other players. There was a quarterback somewhere.

358
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: I just got to a point in the year where

359
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm done. I've done going to NFL Draft.

360
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: I've taken as far as I'm going going to NFL Draft.

361
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: So I've talked to coach Keeler about this case, secular

362
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: head coach at Sam Houston, and basically what he's gotten

363
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: from his guys that if they're playing right now in

364
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: the spring. They'll be back for the fall because they

365
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: want the full fallum experience, having scouts on campus doing

366
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: the full you know, another full season, and a lot

367
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: of those guys didn't get a red shirt ear and

368
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: so this is acting as a red shirt ear really,

369
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be tough for them because they're they're

370
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: tough five in the country. I think they're one of

371
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: the two or three best teams in the country. So

372
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: they could be playing all the way through this thing,

373
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: which I think is the end of May, and then

374
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: they got to turn around playing fall season starting end

375
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: in August, beginning of September, and they go into a

376
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: new conference to whack. So there are a lot of

377
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: things going on, but really, Drew, the only thing that's

378
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: that's troubling, and I didn't know it's troubling, But this

379
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: is odd is who's elding for the draft? Because there's

380
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: some guys I look at and go, Okay, I could see,

381
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: you know us the Texans, right, we should look at

382
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: that guy. That guy could be an undraft the free agent.

383
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: But I'm watching these guys going are they in the

384
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: draft or they staying? It's really hard. I did a

385
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: game against Nichols. Nichols as a wide receiver by name

386
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: of Dejoan Dixon, very good players, six three two hund pounds,

387
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: athlete to run, do everything. He got an invite to

388
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: the Combine, but he continues to play through the season,

389
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: so I don't know if he's going in the draft.

390
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: It's just odd. Other than that, Drew, it feels like

391
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm calling a game in October with beautiful weather, sunny day,

392
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: and it just it feels the same, and it feels good.

393
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: And we don't have a travel conflict at all. So

394
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: I was able to do all of same of Houston's

395
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: home games, which is fun. And I don't get a

396
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: chance to do that during a year because we're traveling.

397
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: So we try and match up my schedules with theirs,

398
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: and I only get a few games, but I got

399
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: all three home games and that was really fun. Yeah,

400
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: I thought about that, and I thought, that's that's gotta

401
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: be really cool for him. You know, John's gotta love

402
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: that because, yeah, you know, because of the Texans, half

403
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: their games are on the road. You got you you

404
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: had a chance, you had to miss some of these opportunities,

405
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: So I'm glad you gotta do that because that's that's

406
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: one of the most fun things to do, I know,

407
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: be up in the booth. You know, you've been in

408
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: Huntsville quite a bit for the same Houston Games, not

409
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: just the spring before and last Thursday about I don't know,

410
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: seventy eighty miles to the west of Huntsville roughly, we

411
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: just worked with me here. Yeah, I was in a

412
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: place called Plantersville. Most people know Plantersville because of the

413
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: Renaissance Fest. And then kind of near there is Gary Kubiak.

414
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: He's retired, and we got a chance to go up

415
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: to Kubiak's ranch and we spent the morning with him,

416
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: put a microphone on him, just walked around his beautiful

417
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: property and he just told us stories. And we're gonna

418
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: have something really, really cool sexist TV in the next

419
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: few weeks. But I put I put a little picture

420
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: of me and coach Kubiak up on my Instagram last

421
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: Thursday and got a lot of a lot of fun reactions.

422
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: But it was good to see that dude, and I

423
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: hadn't seen him, really had a chance to talk with

424
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: him since twenty thirteen, you know. Yeah, Yeah, Unfortunately, the

425
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: way things go, players coaches when they get let go

426
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: from place, you don't really get a chance to talk

427
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: to him or have a sense you know, here and

428
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: there you've run into guys as it's happening, you know,

429
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: Kevin Walter, I got to say bye to uh Jay

430
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: Prosh one time right outside my office. Have stayed by too,

431
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: but by and large you don't get to see these guys.

432
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: And so I'd run into coach Kubiak at the Combine

433
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: a couple of times, but you know how those things go.

434
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: You know, you're assid He's got to be somewhere. You

435
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: gotta be somewhere. So it was nice to hear from him,

436
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: and he's doing really well and got lee. He has

437
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: the coolest set up out there, and he's got memory.

438
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: The memorabilia alone, oh I mean had a replica Man

439
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: of the Lombardi Trophy. He he had his his Denny's

440
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: menu is play sheet from Won that's in a frame

441
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: and it's fascinating. I gotta go. He had some really

442
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: fun stories. I'm glad he's doing well and he's still

443
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: involved in football, and you know, I'm fascinated to see

444
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: what's next for him. But right now he's retired in uh,

445
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: he's he I can't remember what he said, but he's like,

446
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm given anything up. I'm not I'm not done with football,

447
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: but I'm just not working for a team right now.

448
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: But it was really cool to see kubs you know what, Drew.

449
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: I It's interesting because I feel like the passage of

450
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: time either forces us, you know, sports fans whatever, to

451
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: back on things and go, Okay, that wasn't really as

452
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: cool as I remember. Yeah, but there are also times

453
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: where we look back and go, you know what, that

454
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: guy was a lot better than we think of. A

455
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: match job is one of the first one that comes

456
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: to Bud. That was very good. The ending was just spectacular.

457
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: It just was like I mean, it wasn't like slow.

458
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: It was just like I think with Gary Kubiak. I

459
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: hope in due time that Texans fans are just fans

460
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: in the city of Houston understand you know what he's

461
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: meant to the city of Houston as a as a

462
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: football contributor, if you will, you know, playing at Pious,

463
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: going to eight am, winning a ring with dever Broncos

464
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: as a coach, but then coming back to Houston and yeah,

465
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: being the head coach here, getting this team to the

466
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: playoffs for the first time in the franchise history, and

467
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: he did it all as the right way of saying.

468
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: It's just a good guy. I mean, look, you got

469
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: to make some tough decisions as a coach, and so

470
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna be players that look at you, well, he's

471
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: a bad guy because he coming. He just was always

472
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: me as just a straight up good guy. I was

473
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: with we were at the Combine. We're at the Combine.

474
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: This is probably two three years ago. We're at the

475
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: Combine and we make that same walk from our hotel.

476
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: We're taking the tunnels or whatever you call him, and

477
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: we're walking through and we see coach Kobya. I'm talking

478
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: to Mark, so I'm kind of looking at him and

479
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: I see his face just light up, and I was like,

480
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: I know that's not because it's something that I said.

481
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: So I look ahead and there's coach Kobyak and it was,

482
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: believe it or not. It was the first time that

483
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: I had been introduced to him. I never I had

484
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: never met him before that, and so he just marked

485
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: how you do when he asked how crin the kids

486
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 1: were doing. And then he's hey, John, nice to meet you.

487
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: And we're walking away and he goes, Mark, hey, give

488
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: me a call anytime you want to go up to

489
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: the ranch. I'm assuming your planners, so yeah, just letting

490
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: me know, Just let me know. And I think Mark

491
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: as we walk away, and I was like, you're gonna

492
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: make that call? Or what we're gonna get up to

493
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: the ranch or what are we doing here? He's like

494
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: you just start laughing and joking. But it was just

495
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: he just seems so genuine and I think that can't

496
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: be taken for granted. And I'm glad he was able

497
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: to coach here in Houston. Like you said, I he

498
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: is he done? I don't know. I don't. I don't

499
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: think so. And the thing about it is maybe done

500
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: with coaching, because that's a that's a grind man, that's

501
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: an absolute grime, especially for him was had some health problems.

502
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: But he's a wealth of football knowledge. Oh my god,

503
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: that can be utilizing in a number of different ways.

504
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: One thing, I don't know if it's gonna make it

505
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: into the whatever we do with it. We can make

506
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: a show out of this. But we were out in

507
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: an office of his there and he pointed the wall

508
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: and he had this thing and he considers himself as

509
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: part of the Bill Walsh coaching tree, right right, I'm

510
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Yeah, you know Shanahan all that stuff,

511
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: and you know, he had this thing, it was the

512
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: Walsh coaching Tree and had all the faces and he

513
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: was talking about how proud he was to be a

514
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: part of that. So my fall up was, you got

515
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: a nice tree of your own, and he was. He

516
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: appreciated that question because think about the guys that are

517
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: in the league now, Solid or just to name a few,

518
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: La Floor, I mean, they all were here, Kyle Shannahan

519
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: out in San Francisco, and I'm leaving names out, and

520
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: there's gonna be names that keep popping up in the future.

521
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: I think Demiko Ryan absolutely as coaching out in San Francisco.

522
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: He learned a lot under Kubiak. So yeah, it's been Stefanski,

523
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: you know include Oh yeah, I know he's not directly yeah,

524
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: but and yeah, his influence on people, He's gonna be

525
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: one to definitely keep an eye on. But you just

526
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: mentioned influence, and I mean there are probably coaches that

527
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: he didn't even coach with that in some way, shape

528
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: or form, had you know, he had influence on in

529
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: some way. So I'm glad you got a chance to

530
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: do that. Man, That's that's really cool. And you bring

531
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: up a great point, and we don't we live in

532
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: the building, but we don't get a chance to see

533
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: these guys when they're cut or they move on, or

534
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: they sign a new contract. You know, every so often

535
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: you get the opportunity you see a different a different

536
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: a player in a different variety and in a different

537
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: way and location. I had that with Tyrn. Matthew and

538
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: Tyr and I had talked, you know, a bunch while

539
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: he was here, and I have to know him a

540
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, but then he signs to go to

541
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and you're like, you know, maybe you know

542
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be over in Kansas City. We might play him,

543
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: you know maybe. So in Kansas City, you kind of

544
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: got to walk this maze to get to the press box.

545
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: And so I happened to be walking back down the

546
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: press box to the field and he was coming back

547
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: off the field from his pre pregame routine. You gotta

548
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: go buy the Chiefs locker room, and you gotta go

549
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: right buy the Chiefs locker room, and he just saw

550
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: me and his eyes lit up. And we had a

551
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: big hug for you know minute, So it was just

552
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: it was kind of hello, but it was also a

553
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: goodbye too, you know. So it's it's kind of a weird.

554
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: It's kind of a weird deal, and sometimes you don't

555
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: get to do that until, you know, years down the road.

556
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: I hope I can be there for Dwayne Brown when

557
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: he decides to retire, just so I can I can

558
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: tell him, see told you you didn't make it. Put

559
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: the film on, bro. All right, talk a little bit

560
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: about the wide receivers in this draft, because last week

561
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: we talk about running backs. But yeah, guys who can

562
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: catch the ball in this draft? Who you think are

563
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: going to be around when the Texans are picking at

564
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: sixty seven. Now they've got eight picks. Obviously no first,

565
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: obviously no second because of the Tunsil trade. So right

566
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: now it's it's sixty seven. That could change, clearly, ya

567
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: Probably if it changes, it would be them moving back

568
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: to to ac crew more picks this year next. But anyways,

569
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: who might be somebody to keep an eye on when

570
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: the Texans are on the board Friday night in less

571
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: than a month at the wide receiver spot. Here's what's interesting, Drew,

572
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned trading back if let's say, and maybe this

573
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: isn't the case, but let's say wide receiver is number one.

574
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: We want to receive. We want to receivers early as possible,

575
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: and we want a really good one that come in

576
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: as a potential will be a number one wide receiver

577
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: down the road, guy in catch seventy seventy five passes,

578
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, be a go to guy, et cetera. They

579
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: could trade down from sixty seven and still find that guy.

580
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: I think that rich of a draft at the receiver spot. Huh, Drew.

581
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 1: I I wrote an article on Friday and I just

582
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: did my receivers, and what I realized was my goodness.

583
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: First of all, when you talk about receivers, you've got

584
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: your outside guys, kind of your ex receivers, you know

585
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: what DeAndre Hopkins was. And then you got your inside guys,

586
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: your slot guys that are mainly in that that that position.

587
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: You know, the Julian Edelman types, if you will, tip

588
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: of the captain. Julian for a great career, retired yesterday,

589
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: thank god, and they kind of split up that way. Drew,

590
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: I have twenty one now. I took Harris one hundred

591
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: I went all the way to fifty, but I decided

592
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 1: I could just go on and on and on about receivers.

593
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: Twenty one ten X receivers, routside receivers, eleven slot slash

594
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: weapon X types, twenty one receivers in the top one

595
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: thirty three of this draft. Really so, I think very

596
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: highly these groupers and it makes look, it makes perfect sense.

597
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: There's so much seven on seven going on. Receivers have

598
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: really become amongst young kids. That's what they want to be.

599
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: They want to go catch the football. That's that's their thing.

600
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: You know, they watched DeAndre, they watch it Beckham junior,

601
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: they watched the fund Digs. They want to be those guys.

602
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: They don't want to play corner anymore. The irony is

603
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: that the corners in his draft are all sons of

604
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: NFL players. Seemingly that said, no, no no, no, you're not

605
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: playing receiver. You're gonna play corner because you're gonna make

606
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,479
Speaker 1: a bunch of money covering these guys. But I do

607
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: think at sixty seven there are a lot of potential options.

608
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: Tylan Wallace from Oklahoma State, I would love tough grid

609
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: everything you want to receiver catches everything great Rotch just

610
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: has all the little nuances to be in a receiver,

611
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: not dynamic speedwise, but everything else you're gonna watter receiver.

612
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: He's got it. Two guys that I like. One I

613
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: know is in the in the Harris one hundred is

614
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Josh Palmer from Tennessee. I came back from the Senior

615
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: Bowl and I was scoured. I was like, I gotta

616
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: find Tennessee stuff. I gotta watch this guy. I didn't

617
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: watch Tennessee hardly at all, the volunteers hardly at all

618
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Just didn't. They weren't very good. I

619
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: didn't want to waste my time watching the team wasn't

620
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: very good. I heard about him, but like watching with

621
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl, he was incredible. Came back watch the

622
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee from like, Wow, I love this guy. I think

623
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: he's very good. Dead Fitzpatrick fitz Fitzpatrick, who's just outside

624
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: the one hundred from Louisville. He's kind of a poor

625
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: man's Keenan Allen. Because I'm watching him, that's just kind

626
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: of the mannerisms and the way he runs his routes

627
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: and the way he did things that was Keenan Allen

628
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: to me. There are just a lot of guys that

629
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: really confided and then you got some of your small

630
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: slot receivers, maybe to two out Well from Louisville. Look,

631
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: he's under fifty five pounds. Would it be the fastest

632
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: guy in the field every time he's on the field,

633
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: you know a guy like that. Does a guy like

634
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: ron Dale Moore from Purdue slip all the way to

635
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: sixty seven? I wouldn't imagine that he would. But if

636
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: teams are concerned about where he fits, is he a

637
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: running out because he a slow receiver? What don't mind me?

638
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: I'll take him at sixty seven because he's a football player.

639
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: He squatch seven hundred pounds even though he's five seven

640
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: one eighty and once he gets a ball in his hands,

641
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: he's like girl Campbell. He is as difficult to tackle

642
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: as anybody. So there's the things that could happen draft night.

643
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: They can make things, some things interesting, But when it

644
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: comes to the receiver position, it is loaded, loaded with guys,

645
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: even guys that are outside the one hundred, some guys

646
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: with some question marks that I really like his players.

647
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: Terry from Florida State is a perfect example of that.

648
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: Left the team in twenty twenty just kind of out

649
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: of the blue, and there'd been some issues before that.

650
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: But you put on the tape against C. J. Henderson,

651
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: who is the number one corner with the Jackson Jaguars,

652
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you he blew up Henderson. But he's

653
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: had two issues off the field. Is that somebody that

654
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: the Texas would come through away? If you've got the

655
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: issues behind him and he can move on, They're gonna

656
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: be a few guys like that down the road as well.

657
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: This is going to be a position they can find

658
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: a big time baller in the fourth round. I don't

659
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: think Jenny question about it. In my mind, good stuff.

660
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: We're talking about the defense next week because I kind

661
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: of think that's where they're gonna go with sixty seven too.

662
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 1: I probably should have prefaced this whole wide receiver talk

663
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: with that, but anyways, he's sort of set it up

664
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: with the fourth round. I tend to think it's gonna

665
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: be defensive number sixty seven as well. But I think

666
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: the Texans to set themselves up to take the best

667
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: available player, and maybe that's a defensive player, maybe that's

668
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Look, there's gonna be run quarterbacks, there's probably

669
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a run on. I would say wide receivers.

670
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: There's gonna be run on running backs that would make

671
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: sense at number sixty seven or before sixty seven. So

672
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: I do think I got a feeling that they're gonna

673
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: be some big defensive linemen that are sitting there at

674
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: sixty seven, because I don't see many going in the

675
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: first round. Christian Barmore might be the only one I

676
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,479
Speaker 1: could think of from that perspective. Leave I'll looz Rique

677
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: from out of Washington. Easy for me to say he

678
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: might be there, and I think he would be a

679
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: fantastic first round pick. But after that, I think there's

680
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: gonna be some defensive lineman there. A lot of people

681
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: say this is not a great defensive lineman draft, and

682
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: obviously we don't have but one potentially going in the

683
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: first round. I think you can agree with that. However,

684
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: we'll look at these defensive lineman next week on in LAB.

685
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: But it's a fun discovery, no less, looking at this

686
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: defensive line of what the Texans might do. All right,

687
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna finish up by going around the league. And

688
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned last night a story of how Paul Blart

689
00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: ball cop and the AFC South came together in some way. Yeah,

690
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: it happened. We'll talk about that next, right, Aaron Texans

Speaker 1: the good work of the people, for the Texans of

712
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: the fact. I think there's a big like partner ownership

713
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: golf outing thing. I hope they got it in. It's

714
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: been gray all day. It's just felt like it's gonna

715
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the humanity is like a thousand percent, which

716
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: I'm sure surprises you. On April thirteenth, I say April

717
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: thirteenth because I gotta remind myself the Justin Fields Trey

718
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: Lance pro days tomorrow with the people in making an

719
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: appearance that are supposed to be I e. Kyle Shanahan.

720
00:37:53,520 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: I just I can't imagine Kyle Shanahan giving up what

721
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: they did. And by the way, I've heard a lot

722
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: of people say, oh, John Lynch's GM, he's oneh did it. No, no, no, no, no.

723
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's pulling the He's pulling the marionette strings there

724
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. No, there's no doubt about it. Well,

725
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 1: its title says GM. Okay, look just because guys, title

726
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: says GM thirty two different teams do it thirty two

727
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: different ways, and there are teams that are head coach driven.

728
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: The San Fecisco forty Niners are one of those. I

729
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: can't believe. Come back to what I just said, Kyle

730
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: Shanahan gave up that much to go up from mac Jones.

731
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: I think mac Jones is a fine quarterback. I do

732
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: not think he is at a level the other guys are.

733
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: From a ceiling standpoint, you trade up for a guy

734
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: you think has a ceiling that is higher than another guy.

735
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: When the Bears moved up one pick in twenty seventeen

736
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: to go get Mitchell Trubisky, it was because Ryan Pace

737
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: believed in his heart the Mitchell Trubisky's ceiling was higher

738
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: than any other quarterback in that draft, including Mahomes and Watson.

739
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: That's what he that's what he anticipated. He was wrong,

740
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: and a lot of times guys are gms are and

741
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: sometimes it costs GM's jobs. That said, he thought he

742
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: had the highest ceiling. I think Trey Lance and Justin

743
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: Field's ceiling is well beyond mac Jones. Now their floor

744
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: is well below mac jones floor, So there's a smaller

745
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: delta between the ceiling and the floor. But I don't

746
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: get that with Kyle Shanahan. If he if he's saying that,

747
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo's this guy for at least twenty twenty one. Now,

748
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: take a guy you think has got an enormous ceiling

749
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: that can sit and wait and maybe he'll get to

750
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: that ceiling. Alla Patrick Mahomes What Mahomes did, sat all

751
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: seventeen waiting behind Alex Smith, got a shot in eighteen

752
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: and obviously the rest is history. But those pro days

753
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: can be taken place on April fourteen. So I had

754
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: to say that now I talked. I meant to talk

755
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 1: about this last night and then got on some topic

756
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the show, and oh, I was

757
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: talking about Clowney and I wasn't able to get to this.

758
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: But I one of my favorite things on Twitter, and

759
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm not how do I say this? Twitter is like

760
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: air and water, you like have to have it, you

761
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: don't you know like it, You just you have to

762
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: have it. Now. I don't know about flavored air, but

763
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: like you know, some flavored waters are pretty good. I

764
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: like them. I look forward to them. Like my sparkling ices,

765
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: I look forward to them. Those are flavored sparkling Waters.

766
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: I look forward to that more than I douce record

767
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: the Water. But Twitter it's just like air water. It's

768
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: like it's where you get your news. But I could

769
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: do without one hundred percent of the trolls and the

770
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: vitriolic stuff and all that kind of stuff. But I

771
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: am one thousand percent there for NFL team on NFL

772
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 1: Team Twitter Crime, I love it. So here's the story,

773
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: and Sean et Seth got into this a little bit.

774
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: Today a movie is being made about the year that

775
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: Sean Payton had to spend away from the Saints. You

776
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: remember bounty Gate. Some of you may not remember. Sometimes

777
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: I have to be reminded, like, oh yeah, bounty Gate, Yeah,

778
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: I remember that. If you don't remember bounty Gate essentially

779
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: what it was in two thousand and nine the Saints

780
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: with Greig Williams's defensive coordinator, where Williams was giving out

781
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: bonuses money to his guys if they would take out

782
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: dudes on the other side, and there was a lot

783
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: made about some things on the sideline of the nine

784
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game about Brett Barr and that became known

785
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: as bounty Gate. Sean Payton suffered probably the harshest I guess.

786
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: I guess Greig Williams did for a little while, but

787
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: he got back in the game, So what are you

788
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: gonna do? But Sean Payton had to sit out for

789
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: a year, and so during that year he ended up

790
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: coaching his son's junior high team. Well, I think it's Disney,

791
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: maybe Disney. It sounds like it's a Disney kind of film.

792
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: Disney decided they didn't really care about the bounty Gate part,

793
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: but they cared about the Sean Payton NFL coach coaching

794
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: his son's seventh grade twelve year old right seven or

795
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: seventh or eighth grade team. And so yesterday, no, it

796
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: was today. Today is Tuesday. Yeah, so yesterday it was

797
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: announced that Kevin James was going to be Sean was

798
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: gonna play Sean Payton in this movie. Everybody was like,

799
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, what really does that make sense? Well,

800
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons decided, okay, they were gonna have some

801
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,479
Speaker 1: fun with that, and so they took Paul Blart Mall

802
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: cop and they put Sean Payton's photo over it and

803
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: it out. It wasn't like, Okay, we're just gonna mess

804
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: around here, but we're gonna leave it in our do

805
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: not sendbox. No, they sent it. The Atlanta Falcons put

806
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: it out of Paul Blart mall cop with Sean Payton's

807
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: picture over it. I'm like, oh, this is this is

808
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: awesome because a couple of years ago these two went

809
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: at it with their schedule release videos the Falcons had done,

810
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: which it was the year after the Saints had lost

811
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: in the championship game because of the non call on

812
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: the sideline, and they had a Ram on their on

813
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: their video when they announced their Saints came. They had

814
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: some Saints jazz performers outside the Superdome and then they

815
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: had a Ram running them over. The Falcons have gone

816
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 1: after the Saints, and the Falcons have no right really

817
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 1: to go after the Saints. It's not like the Falcons

818
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: have done anything lately. So the the Saints decided they

819
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: weren't to take that line down. So the Saints then

820
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: retweeted that with a tweet that said, the longest running

821
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: show in Atlanta, the King of Beating Atlanta, playing off

822
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: the Kevin James like James being in that and I'm

823
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: just looking at the Falcons tweet. Can't wait. Paul Blart

824
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: Mallkopetitch on Payton's face over Kevin James. I am all

825
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: for the NFL team account on team account sniping all

826
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: about it. And these two teams do not their fan

827
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: bases and lanterne they do not like each other. These

828
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: two teams do not like each other, and they let

829
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: everybody know it, which I absolutely think is awesome. I

830
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: love it. Falcons and Saints, you can it's still up.

831
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: They haven't taken it down as far as I can tell.

832
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: If you go to the Saints let me give you

833
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: go to the Saints Twitter page, you'll end up seeing it.

834
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: But it's I mean, it's awesome stuff to me to

835
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: see that kind of it's all in good fun. I mean,

836
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: the the people that run on Twitter accounts and the

837
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: social media accounts for each team. I mean, obviously I

838
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: work closely with him. They're just they're awesome, awesome people,

839
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: incredible people. And I can imagine the ones in Atlanta

840
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: and New Orleans are the same. So that was that

841
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: was just a fun little look at this. It made

842
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: me chuckle yesterday when I when I ended up seeing that.

843
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: So when the Falcons and Saints play each other, Sean

844
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: Payton's gotta have Kevin James on the sideline, like he's

845
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: got to have Kevin James on the sideline. Sean Payton,

846
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: of all people, has got to be able to take

847
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: this to a to a different level. He's He's the

848
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 1: kind of guy I think that could end up doing

849
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: that well. Big thanks to everybody for being with me tonight.

850
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: Hopefully you guys enjoyed the Harris two fifty mock draft

851
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: we did early on. If that eighth player draft comes

852
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 1: out like that, oh my gosh, we got some players

853
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: out of that. I've sat along. We need two or

854
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: three starters out of this draft, and I think most

855
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: of those picks have done all of them. We're all

856
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: on the defensive side except for one. I think there's

857
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: one offensive pick. We need two or three starters. I

858
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: guarantee out of that list, two or three starters will

859
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: come out of that eventually from that group, so that

860
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: is much needed. So hopefully you guys enjoyed that. I'll

861
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: probably go through and reconfigure the two fifty at some

862
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: point and maybe get it a little bit closer. But

863
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: that was a fun exercise. Big thanks to Drew for

864
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: stopping by in the lab. Go check out all our podcast.

865
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: Vander mirror's View, Deep Slant, and hours in the Lab.

866
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: That was some good stuff this week from a man

867
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: adip for keep me on the air. To you guys

868
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: for listening. We will see you tomorrow. As always, go Texans.

869
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: This is Texans Radio on Sports Radio six ten. Two

870
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 1: is better than one. How many times have you heard

871
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: that one more than once? I bet, because it just

872
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: adds up. For example, there are two, not one, great

873
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: reasons to fill up with Chevron with Akron number one

874
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: unbeatable cleaning power, a number two or maybe this should

875
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 1: be number one unbeatable mileage. Plus Chevron quits Tecron in

876
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: every grade, every gallont of their gasoline. So that's two,

877
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: no way, three unbeatable reasons to go with the one

878
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: and only Chevron with Tecron care for your car.
