1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to a Friday edition of Texans All Access

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: from the Honday Texans Radio Studio John Harris alongside Mark Vandermier. Mark,

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: good evening. How are you on this Friday? Thank God

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: it's Friday. Thank God it's a football Friday edition, Texas auxss.

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 2: It's weird, Johnny, because we are in the meat part

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: of the sandwich between the draft last week and the

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: schedule release next week. And this is a bad metaphor

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: because I think it's really more like the bread this week,

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: because this is a carbohydrate weekend. Yeah, although you have

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: cheer tryouts going on, which is a huge deal for

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: so many in the organization, and a lot of people

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 2: are gonna work hard on this this weekend. But we

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: know the draft was last week, and I know you're

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: gonna have some reaction stuff as we relive some of

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: the moments. And next week. I'm so pumped up for

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: schedule release. And I also have a big doubleheader in

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: flag football this Sunday, epic ten year old. Are you

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: ready flag football? Johnny? We're playing the Ravens. They're unbeaten

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: and so are we. This is a massive showdown. I've

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: got my game plan ready, and I'm ready to adjust.

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: Adjustments are key, Johnny. That's what it's all about. Yes,

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: that is what it's all about.

23
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: My favorite coaching moment came my last year coaching, and

24
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: at halftime, we were running just a simple isolation play

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: and we kept hammering him and as we kept doing it,

26
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: we kept seeing the safety, you know, get closer to

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And a halftime I said, I

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: told my fullback Brian Durman, I love him the death.

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: He got married this fall. I did a video for

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: his wedding. His brother wanted me to do. It was

31
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: so cool, and I said, look, Brian, here's what we're

32
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna keep running isolation and then you're

33
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: just gonna run right down the scenam. I saw Florida

34
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: do it. We're gonna run right down the seam. I

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: drewed up on the board. I said, we're just gonna

36
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: call it ISO pass. You just go right back to

37
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: the past linebacker that you would block, or right back

38
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: the past the safety, and it'll be there. Promise you

39
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: to be there. So we ran isolation a couple of times.

40
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: States kept crawling in he went running right by him.

41
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: Loft it to him, caught it touchdown. It's like, that's

42
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: how you do it, That's how you make an adjustment.

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: But in high school, you have twenty five minutes at halftime,

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: you can make some adjustment, right, right, You can do

45
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: some of those things, and you don't have quite that.

46
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: I think in any youth league, whether it's high school

47
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: or lower, you do have some. When you have a

48
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: tremendous athletic advantage in the area as well, you can

49
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: find ways to exploit that much more than at the

50
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: pro level, where the differences are so fine. It's a

51
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: fine line, ladies and gentlemen.

52
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: Very true, very true, And we didn't always have the

53
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: best athletes. But I bring it up in some sense

54
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: because our guest in the next segment is a guy

55
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: named Chase Goodbread, and he covers Alabama football for the

56
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa News. He's also been with NFL dot Com. He

57
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: was also with the Jacksonville Times Union about twenty something

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: years ago covering high school athletics, and after or during

59
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: that season my last one I coaching jack the Episcopal

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: High School Eagles got a call from Chase Goodbread to

61
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: do an article about the Eagles and so not Chase Goodbread.

62
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: Now we've talked about that a little bit funny about it. Yeah,

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: So Chase red O give us the breakdown of everybody

64
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: at Alabama that the Texans ended up with a lot

65
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: everybody butt Nick Saban. So I'm sure we'll talk about

66
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: Christian Harris, John Metchi Will Anderson, Junior, Henry Toatoa, anybody

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: I missed. I think that's it.

68
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: How about this? I saw Kareem was on Good Morning

69
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: Football today.

70
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: Kareem Jackson.

71
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and he's another Bama guy, another Bama guy.

72
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: Obviously the head coach here is from Bama, not Saban, Bama,

73
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: but he's from Bama, right, And I was talking to

74
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: our HR veep about Kareem's history here. What a great

75
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: tale that is. Bama guy comes in, high profile first

76
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: round draft pick, really rough rookie year, but by year

77
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: two he's playing great on what would be the number

78
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: two defense in the NFL. You don't give up on

79
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: people so easily, and he didn't give up on himself,

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: kept working at his game, got better, he's still playing.

81
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

82
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. I wouldn't mind. I mean, I know

83
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: he signed Jimmy Ward. I know if we resigned M J.

84
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Stewart and Eric Murray back there, so there are a

85
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: bunch of veterans in that safe the group. But I

86
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind.

87
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind k Jack and get J Joe back,

88
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: get the band back together. I mean it would be

89
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: like the Who now, like John Jay Townsend playing with

90
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: the backup band, a background band. It's more like a

91
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: cover band with them fronting it.

92
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: It would be more like Queen now with Adam Lambert.

93
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: But Queen still has three of the four guys, and

94
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: you have the lead singer who's been replaced, right, Adam Lambert.

95
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: Adam Lambert right, and he sounds great. He does this

96
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: terrific job. That's a different deal. That's like Journey Queen

97
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: yea Foreigner plays, although they have fewer members. But the

98
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: guy who fronts Foreigner now is not Lou Graham, but

99
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: he sounds pretty good. Because if you're one of these bands,

100
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: you'd be crazy not to get somebody who can hit

101
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: all the high notes. So if they still had Lou Graham,

102
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: I guess he's still alive. I doubt he can get

103
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: up there the way he used to in the vocal

104
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: registered department.

105
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: I find it fascinating. I don't know why we've got

106
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: on this, but I don't find it fascinating that Journey

107
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: was able to find a Filipino street singer to replay

108
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Steve Perry and sound exactly the same.

109
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so there are many football fascinating There are many

110
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: football and sports analogies to this sort of thing. Okay,

111
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: where where let's say a quarterback leaves a good Green

112
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: Bay is a good example. All Right, you're losing Steve Perry.

113
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: It's like Journey losing Steve Perry or Foreigner losing Lou Graham. Right,

114
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: the lead singer is leaving. And now you have Jordan

115
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: Love coming in, who you found on a YouTube video

116
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: singing the Green Bay songs? Can he do it as

117
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: well as aeron pack Go. I'm telling you, though, it's

118
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 2: easier in music that it is in sports, because it's

119
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: a unique skill set. You have a lot of guys

120
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: who can sing, and they might not be the same.

121
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: Obviously they're not the same, but they can be a

122
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: good fact simile and on stage, and everybody's pumped. You

123
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: know you're not gonna make albums. You're not gonna make

124
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: albums with the new singer.

125
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 1: I mean the documentary that they did with Arnel Pineda

126
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: with Journey with him taking over. It's it's fast. I

127
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: don't think it was a fascinating watch.

128
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: I gotta see it.

129
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: Have you not seen it?

130
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 3: No?

131
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: I need it's fast and I've heard them perform in videos,

132
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 2: but I've never seen them live with him.

133
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: It's you got to see it.

134
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: Oh my, I'm I'm disappointed now and now I'm just

135
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: to myself that I haven't seen. You've got you see

136
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: that movie with Mark Wahlberg called rock Star, I believe

137
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: where it's the same story where an old band finds

138
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: him on a video and he's got Jennifer Aniston in

139
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: one of her many roles where she just plays a

140
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: supporting female and it's nothing and she deserves more and

141
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: she's gotten more lately. But anyway, that movie is very flawed,

142
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: but a lot of fun to watch.

143
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's the actual version of that, yes, but

144
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: with it from the Philippine.

145
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: It's got stand up and shout in it, which has

146
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: been a staple here in this building for a long time.

147
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: A lot of buildings, a lot of athletic buildings.

148
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: Okay, now that we've gone down musical documentary people like

149
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: watch List. Yeah, I was thinking about this. Guy wrote

150
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: my my Daily Brew today about the quarter of We

151
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: talked about them the other day. I want to look

152
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: at the AFC South kind of by position in the

153
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: AFC South and wonder, in some sense, how how far

154
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: off are the Texans or is the AFC South just

155
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: maybe not a great division. Maybe it's not a great division,

156
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: Maybe the Texas are. I don't know. But if you

157
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: start going to, you know, kind of position by position,

158
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: and we talked about the quarterbacks, I think it's pretty clear.

159
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is clearly beyond that. You have no idea. Yeah,

160
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: beyond that, they're I mean, there's no real idea. But

161
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: running backs throughout this division. Jackson's got Traves CTN Texas

162
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: have Damian Pierce, Anigo, Devin Singletary, colts of Jonathan Taylor,

163
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: and now they have Evan hal the rookie, and then

164
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: the Titans obviously have the King Derrick Henry A. Is

165
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: this the best group of running backs of any division

166
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: in football? And b how far off are the Texans

167
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: from having the best unning backs in this division?

168
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's a great question, and that's a fun question

169
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: because I've called this division running back. You and a

170
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: lot of people, you know, you used to call Penn

171
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: State linebacker. You, you've called different schools whatever you this

172
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: is running back. You AFC South because of what you

173
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: just said, the kind of arsenal you have here of

174
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: ball carriers in the division. Look, Etn. I think it's

175
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: really interesting how the Jaguars had James Robinson. And this

176
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: is twenty twenty, right, and this is also the cautionary

177
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: tale for Damian Pierce. Right, Robinson had a terrific twenty

178
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: twenty and then it immediately starts to not look quite

179
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: as good the next year, and then he's gone by

180
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: twenty two because Etn was drafted in twenty one but

181
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 2: didn't play. He was hurt. And then he comes back

182
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: and hey, he looks better than Robinson, and he goes

183
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 2: to the Jets and the rest is history, and good

184
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: luck to Robinson. But and I'm not saying that's going

185
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: to happen with Pierce, but this kind of thing happens.

186
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: It's happened to the franchise with Steve Slayton in two

187
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: thousand and eight. Then he got banged up and it

188
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: was never the same. I think Pierce is going to

189
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: be good for a while. Okay, I think he's gonna

190
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: go a while. So I'm just pressing the brakes a

191
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: little bit here, saying he's got to come out. He'll

192
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: be the first to tell you he's got to come

193
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: out guns blazing. Week one. I heard. I heard Who's

194
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: Our Buddy in the afternoon show Jim Miller and Pat

195
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 2: Kerwin talking about one year to the next, and he

196
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: talked about the Jaguars. He said, you know a lot

197
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: of teams make the mistake of thinking they're starting where

198
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: they left off, and that happens all the time in

199
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: this league. To start where you left off, it's a

200
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: psychological thing. He said. Everybody starts from zero. And Bill

201
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: O'Brien used to preach this, and I know people got

202
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: sick of it, but he was right. Every year is different.

203
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 2: You're really re vamping the team, reloading the team, redoing

204
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 2: the team every year. And I know you have a

205
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: lot of the same faces, but they start from zero,

206
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: and you better build that momentum from the get go.

207
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: And that goes for individuals and the wide as a whole.

208
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: So I look at the Jaguars and I say, all right, etn,

209
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: what's his encore performance going to be from his not

210
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: rookie year but first year playing because he was heard

211
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: his rookieyear, He's got to continue to bring it because

212
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: Jamichael Hasty and whoever else they.

213
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: Have drafted Tank Bigsby draft bigs so Bigsby is in

214
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: the mix. But third round, I mean, it's a pretty

215
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: salty girl. I'll give you the guy that you know,

216
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: deanis Johnson, who Case Kanam knows because the night that

217
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: Case started in twenty twenty one for the Browns on

218
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: a Thursday, and I think it was Darrence Johnson I

219
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: think went for about one fifty and that came and

220
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: he and Case were kind of running things for Cleveland

221
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: that night and it looked good. So darrens Johnson's in

222
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: that group. Jacksonville's group is is decently salty, especially with depth.

223
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: I think the best running back in the division. I

224
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: think Taylor has overtaken Derek, which is crazy to say,

225
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: but I still think. I mean, they had there's a

226
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: video of Henry running hills the other day and it

227
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: was like, Oh my god, is he going to be terminator?

228
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be the predator against I don't like that.

229
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: Those Instagram those are very triggering to me.

230
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: I know Derrick Henry workout.

231
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: Videos on Instagram. I think, no, no, stop it, don't

232
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: do it.

233
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: Stop it.

234
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 2: The most terrifying non quarterback the Texans have ever played. Derek, Yes,

235
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: non quarterback. I know everyone's gonna say, well, Mark, what

236
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: about t Y Hilton. That's not every play. Yeah, I'm

237
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: worried about I've always been worried about t Y Hilton.

238
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, He's right up there. But Henry

239
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: is the number one non quarterback villain to me. Look

240
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: at the numbers. I know you can love Hilton's numbers

241
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: are pretty good too, But Henry to me is a

242
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: total terror. But getting Taj Spears.

243
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: Why do you have to bring it up?

244
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: Well, Look, Henry as a youngster was in a backfield

245
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: with DeMarco Murray, who actually looked better when Henry was

246
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: just starting out. So Henry now understands these very well

247
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: and he wants to play great. But he knows that

248
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: Spears could look really good. But they've got a good

249
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: offensive line.

250
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: Johnny Spears could help Henry just by taking some of

251
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: the load off of Henry as opposed to Henry running

252
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: twenty to twenty two times a week.

253
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 2: If they still have Haskins there where they got.

254
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: So they still have a physical hammer. If it's not Henry,

255
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: And now they've got this change of pace. Guy who's

256
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: who run crazy as it sounds, he's only one, he's

257
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: five to ten. He runs like Henry in that he

258
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: doesn't back down from anybody. But he's got wiggle, he's

259
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: got shakes. Did they do it enough on the offensive?

260
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the offensive line. Let's go

261
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: to that.

262
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: Let's let's go back to see here because everyone is

263
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: writing them off. But you could make a case here

264
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: where it starts to work out a little bit better

265
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: than people think. Right. Andre Dillard at left tackle, brought

266
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: him in right, They drafted Scarronsky all right?

267
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: Probably right tackle?

268
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: All right?

269
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 2: Probably right tackle, maybe right guard because they still have

270
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: petite Ferrera. He could play some tackle for your brunskill

271
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: anything from the forty nine ers. Yeah, I feel like

272
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: Jonah Hill and Billy Bean having a conversation and moneyball.

273
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: I used an actor's name, and the real get nevermind

274
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: Aaron Brewer at center and Corey Levit. Look, they still

275
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: have work to do.

276
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 4: Here.

277
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: You could see it not working. You could see it

278
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 2: working a little bit better than you think. With those backs,

279
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: maybe maybe receive it. They're still very thin trail and

280
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: Burke's okay. Year two, let's see what he does. Nick

281
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: Westbrook a kena bit of a disappointment to me. Had

282
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: some big games against the Texans twenty one and before that,

283
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: and then last year didn't really shine the way I

284
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: thought he could. But then you have the quarterback situation

285
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: with Levis and Tannehill. Yeah, I understand why everybody's writing

286
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: them off. It could be a little bit better and

287
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: tougher than you think.

288
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: I think what they're going to be is the embodiment

289
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: of Rabel. I think that they will that offense, Timy

290
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: lead knit Charles London as the pass game coordinator. I

291
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: think it'll be short, quick passing game. I think it'll

292
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: be Henry using spears. They're gonna win with eight to

293
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: ten play drives where they don't make mistakes, where the

294
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: offensive line doesn't mean they're not gonna put the offensive

295
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: line in a bad position. Turn it over, don't turn

296
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: it over, and you win games thirteen to nine. They're

297
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to turn into to me, they're gonna

298
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: try to turn into the twenty fifteen Texans, But I

299
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: don't think they've got as much defensively as the Texans had.

300
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, the Texans had a lot defensively and a

301
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: number three in the league that year.

302
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: And you know as well as I do, twenty fifteen

303
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: was heading in a bad direction, a bad direction. Yeah,

304
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: but then the defense rose up. JJ was JJ. Whitney

305
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: became a superstar. But every other piece, you know, Quentin

306
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: Depson's dropped in that defense, every other piece is stepping up,

307
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: and they were loaded at so many positions. I mean,

308
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: Vince had been here, Vince Wilfork was on that defense. Yes,

309
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: so you I mean you had ballplayers, they have Simmons,

310
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: they have Buyard after that, Nam, I don't know.

311
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: But to me, Landry they lost.

312
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: Now he's coming off an ac out there, okay, So

313
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: you know there's there's that if he comes back healthy. Okay.

314
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: I think Landry is one of the more underrated players.

315
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: In the league.

316
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: It's so he's kind of there, He's kind of They're

317
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: Whitney merciless in some sense if you want to draw,

318
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, comparison. But I don't think the linebackers are

319
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: as good, and I don't think the secondary is anywhere

320
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: near as good. I don't think the corner They've been

321
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: drafted corners forever, and I don't think your corners are good.

322
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't think McCrary is all that good. I mean,

323
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: met you tore him up in twenty twenty one. Twenty one, Yeah,

324
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: tore him up at Auburn. I mean, just went to

325
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: work on him, especially in the second half. So to me,

326
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and win games like like we did

327
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen. Let the defense turn teams over, Let

328
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: the defense broadbeat the other offense. You don't play as

329
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: difficult to schedule, so you're not playing a ton of

330
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: great experienced quarterbacks. And then you have Henry So you

331
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: just hammer and hammer and hammer because you have Brian Hoyer,

332
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Mallett and Ryan Tannel in some sense. So that's

333
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: how they're gonna try to win games. It doesn't start

334
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: turning around for us if our defense doesn't go to

335
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: a different level. So if that defense is just top

336
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: that defense is just top twelve, they're six to seven

337
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: one team at best. Okay, to defense at fifteen was

338
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: what top three?

339
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 4: Right?

340
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? It was number three in yards allowed.

341
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: Exactly.

342
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: If you look at the Titans defense right now, you're

343
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: a general manager. You get to pick pick one defense,

344
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: the Titans or the Texans to go through this season with,

345
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: not next year, not twenty four, not twenty five, only

346
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: twenty three. I'm going through twenty twenty three. I get

347
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: the Texans personnel on d or the Titans. Which one

348
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: is the GM picking? It's it's other than Simmons, Johnny.

349
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I know Bayer is a nice player, but

350
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 2: I don't think that you.

351
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: Always forget about it. Tart was really good. Tart was

352
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: really good last year. Denico Autry. I mean that front

353
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: is really good. I don't trust the secondary at all

354
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: in Tennessee at all. I mean Bayer, yeah, but even

355
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: Byard showed some. So you like the front the front

356
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: many Rice Asler, I think that's a push, to be honest.

357
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: I think it's a push between between Denzel Peram and

358
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 1: Christian Harris and those are the two starters, and then

359
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: many Rice. I think that's a push the secondary. I

360
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: think the Texas secondary is more talented bye by far,

361
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: far more talented. But I think the front for Tennessee,

362
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: Simmons makes it. But Tartan Autry are The tart Autry

363
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: are the best duo nobody's ever heard of that just

364
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: come in and dominate games. I mean, if if Tartan

365
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: Autry were here with what we had already, I mean, first,

366
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be very good.

367
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: What's the record of the Texans at Tennessee the last years?

368
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm just saying, I think their

369
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: fronts games. I think their front is good, but I

370
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: think linebackers. You know, if you're comparing the two, I

371
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: would say their front, I would say linebacker's are push.

372
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: I think our secondary is better. I think gets a

373
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: lot closer than people want to believe. I think it's

374
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: a lot closer than people want to believe.

375
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: The Jags are Colts. It's Colts, right, let's go.

376
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: Let's go Colts. Running game I think is gonna be

377
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: a plus.

378
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: I think Zach Moss was a nice addition for those

379
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: huge idea and there we were in the final. I

380
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: know the Texans won that game, but we're thinking, man,

381
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: Buffalo could use a guy like Zach Moss. Oh wait,

382
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: yeah right, they had him right.

383
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: They wanted they wanted the replicate, the duplicate of Devin

384
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: Singletary when they actually needed Zach Moss. And now you've

385
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: got Jonathan Taylor and Zach Moss with Anthony richardson m M.

386
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: They're going to do some interesting run game games.

387
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: Exactly worries with you. I still don't know the offensive

388
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: line is going to be that much that much better.

389
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Bernard Ryman was better at the end of

390
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: the year, but what I thought was interesting was Quentin

391
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: Nelson took a step back and Ryan Kelly was not

392
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: as good, and I think the right guard spot was

393
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: a problem all year long and Brad Smith wasn't as

394
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: good last year. That offensive line just went from Man,

395
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: I hate facing those guys to what's wrong with these guys?

396
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 2: So is that an aberration? Is that going to continue?

397
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: We don't know. That's the big question for them because

398
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: I look at tight end and I'm not seeing the

399
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 2: world set on fire and Indy and They've got a

400
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 2: pretty good tradition at tight end, but that's been weakened

401
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: in recent years. And at receiver, looked Michael Pittman. We

402
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: talked about this before. Who's the best receiver in the

403
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 2: division right now going in Probably Michael Pittman Alec Pierce

404
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 2: second year should get better, you would think. I mean

405
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 2: after that.

406
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 1: They add Isam Mackenzie and then they drafted Josh Downs. Okay,

407
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: those two dudes in the slot are good. They're gonna

408
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: be a problem. I think what the Colts. What the

409
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Colts are going to be able to do with zone

410
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: Reid game, with jet motion jet sweeps, jet motion push

411
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: passes to get those two guys out in space. That

412
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: I think is how their offense is gonna change. I

413
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: think that wrinkle right there that they're gonna have that

414
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: they didn't really have last year. I think that's gonna

415
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: be a big wrinkle. But I think we're gonna see

416
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: so if once Richardson takes over, it is gonna be

417
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: zone read. It's gonna be zoned, it's gonna be powery,

418
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna be all kinds of run game stuff. We're

419
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: gonna see Richardson. That scares me just because it's a

420
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: little bit of unknown too, right because you haven't seen

421
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: that group run that just yet. So I that that

422
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: worries me from from their standpoint. Defensively, man, they've got

423
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: a lot of guys you look at and go, hey,

424
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: that guy's pretty good. You know that guy's pretty good.

425
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: You're on the front. Buckner and Stewart pretty good. Quit

426
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: he pay yeah, yeah, good, Sam Stabacom, I mean could

427
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: pick up. You know, Sequil Leonard's great, we know that,

428
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: but you know he's coming off a back injury. But

429
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: in the secondary, you know, Kenny Moore is really really good.

430
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: But they could start to rookies at corner. They really

431
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: could start Julius Bretson, Darius Russ at corner. They could

432
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: have two rookies at corner. And we've seen that before, Mark,

433
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: We've seen rookies at corner. You mentioned Kareem earlier. You know,

434
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson, you know, kind of had his come uppance

435
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: for a while in his rookie year until the end

436
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: of the year where he really started showing some things.

437
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: You put a rookie at corner in the NFL, it

438
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: doesn't go exceedingly well right away right away, and they

439
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: could be starting two of them back there.

440
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 2: You're in a division, well, you face the Jags, they

441
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: are going to throw the ball, yes, but you're in

442
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: a division where you're gonna stop the run against the

443
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: Texans and of course the Tennessee Titans. I'm talking from

444
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: a colt's perspective here, so maybe just maybe they hang

445
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 2: in there with it. But you know, we talk a

446
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: lot about the division. That's six games, right, you have

447
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: eleven other games, eleven other outings you have to deal with.

448
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: But the whole division is playing the NFC South and

449
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: they're happy they're playing the AFC South in the NFC South.

450
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: That's a competitive balance, if you will. That's going to

451
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: be interesting to follow. Look, I think it's just like

452
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 2: with the Texans, but in a different way. The Texans

453
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 2: are a less experienced team. They do have experienced players

454
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: at certain spots, a lot of young players as well.

455
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: When you're starting a rookie quarterback, who knows, but just

456
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: a lot of things have to break right, you know,

457
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: all these teams are gonna have that. And I just

458
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: think it's a pretty wide open division other than the Jaguars.

459
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 2: And I know that's not saying that's not exactly a

460
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 2: hot take here, but I'll have to see it to

461
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: believe it. The Jaguars being really consistent all the way through.

462
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: We talked about their schedule because of the first place finish,

463
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: having to play the Chiefs, right, this is not easy

464
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: having to play the Buffalo Bills. Not easy. Those are

465
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: two real tough ones right there. The other cross over

466
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: a game being a first place team is the Niners.

467
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: They get the Niners. So what's that going to be

468
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 2: like for them? They're gonna get a bunch of national

469
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 2: television games just through osmosis. They won't get the MAX,

470
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 2: but they're gonna get more. They're gonna get featured. You know,

471
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: it's the Jaguars. They're a good team, their first place team,

472
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: they're gonna get featured.

473
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: They're ranked eight in the power rank. As we talked

474
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: to that a little bit yesterday on last night's show,

475
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: Dan Hans's Who's powerrank is for NFL dot Com see

476
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: the Jags top eight?

477
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, eighth eighth. I think a lot of that is

478
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: also based on, hey, you're in that division, you're gonna

479
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 2: win that division. They're just the United Texas decision.

480
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: The Texans were thirty first, the Titans are twenty fourth.

481
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: I think the culture twenty.

482
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 2: Eighth, and so people complaining about the Texans. This is

483
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: not to me a projected finish. This is a power ranking.

484
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 2: This is where you are right now. Yeah, you can't

485
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 2: boost them up much more than that. Because you're starting

486
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback. You are where you were, you had

487
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 2: the number two pick in the draft. You definitely made improvements,

488
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 2: but you got to go prove it on the field

489
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: to jump in those power rankings, which means absolutely nothing,

490
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 2: but it's fun to talk about.

491
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: It is fun to talk about. I start thinking about

492
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: this rookie quarterback, rookie OC, rookie head coach, rookie quarterbacks coach.

493
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: I don't know Girods ever had the position of quarterbacks coach.

494
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't think maybe not. Here's done a lot of

495
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: work with quarterbacks. Yet I feel as confident about that group.

496
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: Dimiko rookie head coach, Bobby slow rookie OC trott Is

497
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks coach, and C. J. Strotted's rookie quarterback. I

498
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: feel as good about that group as I've felt about

499
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: any group that's been here since I've been in the building.

500
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: I feel great about slowick who he is, how smart

501
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: he is, his experience. I feel great about him. And

502
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 2: there's a lot of pressure there. There always is on

503
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: the OC. But Dimico is gonna help with the defense.

504
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: We don't know exactly how that's gonna go with Matt Burke.

505
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: But with Slowick, He's got the offense. This is his baby.

506
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of experience around him in the

507
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: coaching ranks. It's gonna be fun to watch him develop

508
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: these guys. That performance, his performance. It's got to come

509
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 2: through for this team to improve.

510
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: No doubt. Now that's the offense, the defense. A lot

511
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: of guys from Alabama. Our good friend Chase Goodbred knows

Speaker 1: for a long time, but he's also been at NFL

534
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: dot Com. He was also, as I mentioned from Jacksonville

535
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: Times Union when I was coaching there. He was in

536
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: charge the high school department, so he actually interviewed me

537
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: when I was coaching at Episcopal. He's a great dude.

538
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: Most importantly for the radio is he knows the Alabama

539
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: Crimson Tide players there now with the Texas four of

540
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: them toatoa Metchie, Harris and Anderson. Let's hear from Chase

541
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: Goodbread right now.

542
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 5: Well, for the second time in a week, we're talking

543
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 5: with Chase Goodbread of the Tuscle Loosen News Chase. We

544
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 5: were hanging out in Kansas City last week outside of

545
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 5: Arthur Bryant's and I was asking you questions about Will Anderson.

546
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 6: You gave me some great answers.

547
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 5: I imagine you're gonna add to the superlatives we've heard

548
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 5: about Will Anderson. I mean everything we saw on the field,

549
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 5: and let's just stick with on field stuff right now.

550
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 5: Expectations of Will Anderson as a rookie and expectations of

551
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 5: him long term.

552
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 4: What do you see.

553
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: I think he makes it right away as a rookie.

554
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 3: I don't think he is in any way a developmental guy,

555
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: a project guy.

556
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 4: You don't pit.

557
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 3: First of all, you don't pick a guy number three

558
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 3: if that's what you're looking at.

559
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 4: But I think he delivers. I really do he is.

560
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: He's got the quickest first step as a pass rusher

561
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 3: of any pass rusher I can recall, at least in

562
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 3: Nick Saban's era, and there have been quite a few.

563
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 3: As you know, he can get the offensive tackle in

564
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 3: a bad position very very quickly. He can play with power.

565
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 3: He's better off with speed and quickness. There there are

566
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 3: some times when he goes with the bull rush and

567
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 3: gets swallowed up so it's not a situation where he's

568
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 3: running tackles over, but in terms of getting around him

569
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 3: or going inside with an inside move and using his hands,

570
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 3: he's an advanced player when it comes to technique.

571
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: And that sort of thing.

572
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 3: I think he makes a pretty big bang for the

573
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 3: Texans right out of the gate.

574
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 5: In long term, I mean, obviously, if he's doing that initially,

575
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 5: great things coming in the years to come for the Texans,

576
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 5: you think, right, yeah.

577
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 4: You can only expect that.

578
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 3: I mean, anybody makes an impact short term, you expect

579
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: it long term as long as they stay healthy. And

580
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 3: to that point, Anderson's been a healthy player. He's not

581
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 3: been a guy who's been injured at Alabama as a

582
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 3: matter of fact. I mean, he's had some knicks here

583
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 3: and there, but he's been a regular starter for two

584
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 3: plus years. He really kind of started taking over as

585
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 3: a full time starter, I think in the second half

586
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: of his freshman year, and from then on he didn't

587
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 3: miss a game really.

588
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 4: So he's everything Houston's looking for.

589
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 5: I think now you've been around the block. You're in

590
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 5: Tuscaloosa right now, you've covered stuff for the NFL dot

591
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 5: com website, You've been in Jacksonville before that, and I'm

592
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 5: leaving other places out.

593
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure.

594
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 4: So you've seen some things.

595
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 5: What you saw Thursday night with the Texans going strouded

596
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 5: to and then make the move up to will it

597
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 5: get Will Anderson at three?

598
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: Did that surprise you at all?

599
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 5: Or did that just make all the sense in the

600
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 5: world or was it somewhere in between.

601
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 3: I think what's shocking about it is that they end

602
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 3: up with back to back picks that high, right, I mean,

603
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 3: you see teams move up all the time. You know

604
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: one that comes to mind going back, I guess quite

605
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: a few years now. You know the Falcons made that

606
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: big jump to move up and get Julio Jones, an

607
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: Alabama player. I think they jumped up somewhere in the

608
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 3: neighborhood of twenty spots to make that move. Houston didn't

609
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 3: come up that far, but for already having the number

610
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: two pick and then falling into the number three pick, Yeah,

611
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 3: it's extremely unusual. I'm a draft fan, and for nine

612
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: years it was my job. I can't recall, and I'm

613
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: sure it's happened. I can't recall the last time a

614
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 3: team managed to end up with back to back picks

615
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 3: in the top five.

616
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was Washington in the late nineties, but they

617
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 5: didn't they didn't orchestrate that, you know, draft weekend. It

618
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 5: kind of fell their way with was it Samuels and

619
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 5: Errington or vice versa. Anyways, Off the field, leadership wise,

620
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 5: who this guy is, we've you know, we've heard comparisons

621
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 5: to Julio Jones, CJ. Moseley, I Meanka Fitzpatrick as far

622
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 5: as being folks who you know, have that much of

623
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 5: an impact in the locker room and have that leadership

624
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 5: role that jives with what you've you've seen I'm guessing correct.

625
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Anderson's as big a leader as Alabama's had. He

626
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 3: and Bryce Young were kind of the heartbeat of the

627
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 3: locker room for Alabama these last couple of years. Alabama

628
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: did not have any opt outs for the Sugar Bowl,

629
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: which is somewhat surprising because they weren't playing for any

630
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 3: sort of a championship and got knocked out of the playoffs.

631
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: The guy who was kind of the tip of the

632
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 3: spear in the locker room for making sure there were

633
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 3: no opt outs.

634
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 4: Was Will Anderson.

635
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 3: He kind of pulled the team together and it wasn't

636
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 3: just him there were some veteran players, young certainly among them,

637
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 3: who kind of pulled the team together and said, look,

638
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: we're gonna you know, this season didn't work out the

639
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 3: way we wanted. We've lost two games, we're not in

640
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: the college football playoff, but let's finish this thing, right.

641
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 4: Nobody bail, and nobody bailed.

642
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 3: And Anderson, if I'm not mistaken, was the first guy

643
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: to come out and say I'm playing in the Sugar Bowl,

644
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: and not publicly either, I'm talking about within the team,

645
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 3: and I think to a large extent that spurred some

646
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 3: other guys to say, well, if Will's playing, I'm playing.

647
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 3: So you know, that kind of gives you a little

648
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 3: bit of a peek into what kind of leader I

649
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 3: think he could be. He's also a permanent team captain

650
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: for Alabama. Right before the draft, he went to Alabama's

651
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 3: spring game and permanent team captains stick their hands and

652
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: cleats and went cement, so they're immortalized forever as permanent.

653
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 4: Alabama team captains.

654
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, if he's not a leader in that locker room,

655
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 3: I could promise you everybody in Alabama will be quite surprised.

656
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 5: You know, we saw some leaders last year from Christian Harris,

657
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 5: linebacker for the Texans for that Alabama, and now he's

658
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 5: got a guy who was one of his best friends

659
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 5: in college in I'm sure Anderson, but really in Henry Toto,

660
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 5: the linebacker that the Texans flip around and take another

661
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 5: Alabama linebacker, another team captain. I don't know that he's

662
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 5: a permanent captain like you're talking about, but there's some

663
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 5: cool gifts on the web of Bryce Young, Will Anderson

664
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 5: and Henry Toto walking down a tunnel.

665
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 4: Those guys are leaders.

666
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 5: Let's go back to what I started with on the

667
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 5: field to Oto.

668
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 4: What does he bring?

669
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 5: What sort of value does he bring to the Texans defense,

670
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 5: Because he's a guy who came in after transferring from

671
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 5: Tennessee and was starting from day one.

672
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 4: Right right he was. He was a big part of

673
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 4: Alabama's defense.

674
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 3: He's not the greatest playmaker in the world, and that's

675
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: why he went in the fifth round.

676
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 4: We'll go ahead and start. We'll go ahead and start

677
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 4: with that.

678
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 3: I don't think he's as good an athlete as Christian Harris,

679
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: but he is a leader. As you said, he's a

680
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 3: very smart guy. Nick Saban had him calling the defense

681
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 3: from the middle linebacker position for the entire front seven.

682
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 3: So pre snap he's extremely intelligent and he will make

683
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 3: some plays here and there, don't get me wrong. But

684
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 3: athletically he's not Will Anderson, he's not Christian Harris. But

685
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 3: he is a guy who's going to figure out the

686
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 3: defense very quickly and he's going to understand his role.

687
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 3: He's in the right position all the time. Made a

688
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 3: lot of tackles at Alabama, just not a ton of

689
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 3: big plays, right, And sometimes scheme has as much to

690
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 3: do with that as the player, because you play the

691
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 3: role that you're asked to play. And on top of that,

692
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: I think Henry is going to be a good special

693
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: teams player for the Texans as well, so he should

694
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 3: be bring that as a positive also, But it's going

695
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 3: to be interesting to see how he kind of develops

696
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 3: in that defense.

697
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 5: So one of the smarter players you've ever been around.

698
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 4: Very smart, Yeah, there's that about it.

699
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 3: I think he's a little better at running around blocks

700
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: than running through him.

701
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 4: You know, he'll miss.

702
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 3: A tackle here and there, but the guy, he's got

703
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 3: a good understanding for what the offense is trying to do.

704
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 3: He's pretty solid in pass coverage as well. So he

705
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 3: definitely brings some skills to the Texans. Whether or not

706
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 3: he brings them together well enough to jump on the

707
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 3: field right away, that's harder to say. He probably falls

708
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 3: a little bit more into that developmental category that we

709
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 3: were talking about maybe for year or two or year three,

710
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 3: as opposed to making a big splash his rookie year.

711
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: Hey, let's wrap with this. What from John Metchi pre

712
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: knee injury.

713
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 5: Did you see that had you really optimistic about what

714
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 5: he could do in the NFL?

715
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 3: Exceptional route runner, good athlete, very good at hands. I

716
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 3: thought his route running was the best thing about his

717
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 3: game at Alabama. He really knows how to set up

718
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: corners at the top of the route. When he stems,

719
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 3: He's got a way of just shaking guys. And you know,

720
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 3: I think he kind of got lost when he came

721
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 3: to Alabama. You got to keep in mind when when

722
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 3: he got to Alabama, he was stuck behind the best

723
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 3: foursome of college receivers that I think has ever been

724
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 3: on one team. They had Devontae Smith, Henry Ruggs, Jalen

725
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 3: Waddle and h and Jerry Judy. Right, So he came

726
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 3: in behind that those four kind of had to wait

727
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: his turn, right, and when those guys finally phased out

728
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 3: and made their way into the NFL, uh, he finally

729
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 3: got his chance to shine, and and he did exceptionally

730
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 3: well his last year at Alabama. Had he not gotten hurt,

731
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 3: they probably would have had a better chance against Georgia

732
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 3: in that in that National Championship game.

733
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 4: He made that much of a difference.

734
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 3: But metchi Is, I think he's gonna do very well

735
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 3: once he gets himself right with his health.

736
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 5: Issuear well, Chase, we really do appreciate the time. Have

737
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 5: fun at the Jason isbook concert. Have fun looking at

738
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 5: that nice Star Trek wall behind you. I hope we

739
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 5: catch up with you again down the line.

740
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,720
Speaker 4: All right, Drew, live along and prosper? Okay?

741
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: Was that Star Wars or Star Trek? I don't know.

742
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: May the fourth be with you? I know those guys

743
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: linked up yesterday, So yeah, okay, I'll give it to

744
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: you just because I like you guys, and I liked

745
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: what the Texans did on Thursday night last week. So

746
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: let's take a look back as we finished this week

747
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: post draft and our reactions on radio to CJ's job

748
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: being drafted. The trade and then Will Anderson Junior. That's

749
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: next to Texans All Access. We got a final segment

750
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: this edition of Texans All Actions. I'm John Harris for

751
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: playing on a sideline reporter and I am a part

752
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: of the Texans game day radio crew. Mark Vandermier the

753
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: voice of the Texans Andre where one of my great

754
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: friends are great friends. Game analyst Robert Hensley produces all

755
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: those games, does a great job. We had the opportunity

756
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: Thursday night to be front center on our radio coverage

757
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: for the draft, and I mean it was, it was

758
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: incredible last week. Take a listen to our reaction to

759
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: what happened last Thursday night that it's gonna be a CJ.

760
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 4: Stroud.

761
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 1: What do we think people are quarterback that can play now?

762
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: I've been saying it. And by the way, if CJ.

763
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: Stroud is the pick, then the four of us are

764
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and celebrate Week eighteen against the Indneapolis

765
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: Colts to win up in Indianapolis.

766
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 6: Yes, because we've.

767
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: Got our guy that is going to go to battle.

768
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: I love the fact that c J. Strou would be

769
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: this team's quarterback. Absolutely love it, right, I love it.

770
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 4: I love it.

771
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 7: You get a guy that has played against big time competition.

772
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 7: He went toe to toe with the Georgia Bulldogs in

773
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 7: the College Football Playoff, had his team in a position

774
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 7: to win. He can make every single throw. He's got size,

775
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 7: he's got, you know, the ability to move around. I

776
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 7: like everything about c. J. Stroud And so here we go.

777
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: So what about that S two cognitive test or listen,

778
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: who cares?

779
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 4: Right?

780
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 2: If he can play the position, that's what counts. And

781
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 2: he played at a very high level.

782
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: I heard the guy that put that S two together.

783
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 4: He talked to that.

784
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: He said, look, the scores out there, don't buy into that.

785
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: He said there was one player. No, he didn't say

786
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: who it was. He took it eleven thirty at night.

787
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: He had been working out all day, he had to

788
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: work out the next morning. He was tired of crank,

789
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: he hadn't eaten anything, and he just took it to.

790
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 4: Get it over with.

791
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so you sometimes have to factor that in.

792
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: And by the way, every single team, all thirty two

793
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: teams have got their own test, their cognition tests. I'm

794
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: sure Dre you you probably took one way back in

795
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 1: the day.

796
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 7: NHL with that test. No, right here, here's what I'll

797
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 7: tell you about the Test. If you're worried about the

798
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 7: Test as an organization and that's your your selling point,

799
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 7: then you don't have the right coaches in place to

800
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 7: coach individual players. If you have you have the right players,

801
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 7: you don't worry about a test like that.

802
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,959
Speaker 1: With the second pick in the twenty twenty three NFL.

803
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 8: Draft, the Houston Textan select CJ. Stroud, quarterback for Ohio

804
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 8: Steam outstanding.

805
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 2: Yes, listen to the roar at Miller Outdoor Theater, Listen

806
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: to the bowl at the selection of J. Stroud as

807
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: the Texans cornerback number two pick in the draft. Here

808
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 2: we go, come.

809
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: Sling at seven. This dude, Mark, you know I told

810
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: you back in May I said my comp for CJ.

811
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: Stroud was Joe Burrow. I mean, Joe Burrow's got the

812
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: cool and all that, but his ballplacement is accuracy. What

813
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: you want in a quarterback. Every quarterback, dre you know this,

814
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: put the ball in that spot right there, put it

815
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: right there. He can do that. One of the great

816
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: videos I saw this past summer at Stroud. He was

817
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: back at the Elite eleven camp and they asked him

818
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: to do the throwing competition where they got to hit

819
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: targets all over the place and he blew it out

820
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: of the water. He is just an innate, unbelievable thrower

821
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: of the football and Dre, we get to watch that man.

822
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 4: Throw the boat.

823
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 6: I can't wait to see him. Can't wait till he

824
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 6: gets to town. I can't wait, cannot wait.

825
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 7: Finally got our guy, and hey, let's coach him up,

826
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 7: get him on the field, and let's go.

827
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: He walks on stage in Kansas, Texans had on fans

828
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 2: on their feet. Yep, the Texans hat on number two

829
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: picking the draft Bryce Young won CJ.

830
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 4: Stroud two.

831
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: They will meet in Charlotte this year. That is on

832
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 2: the schedule, folks.

833
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: And we don't have to face him twice a year.

834
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: We don't have to face him twice a year.

835
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, but Indy does, India, Jacksonville does Tennessee, and Tennessee does.

836
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: Now it's time to rock that game against Georgia. I

837
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: know a lot of people brought that up. Look, he

838
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: was great throughout his entire career. He was great throughout

839
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: his entire no doubt. But that game against Georgia, Yeah,

840
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: he made Like in the Georgia game.

841
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 7: Is that not only the throws, but he showed people

842
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 7: that he was mobile as well.

843
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 6: He took off a few times.

844
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 7: That was the only question mark about him, and that

845
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 7: he is a pure pocket passer.

846
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 6: That can run, not a guy that is. You know,

847
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 6: he's an athlete, but he's not gonna take off and

848
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 6: pull it him, put it down and run around. His

849
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 6: deal is reading coverages and getting the ball out on.

850
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: And that's dre why one of the other reasons I

851
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: compared to Joe because Joe moves to throw. He move

852
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: throw now he can't. He moves. He'll tuck it when

853
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: he needs to. CJ will tuck it when he needs to.

854
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: But in this game, the way that he moved around

855
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: the pocket. You go to my Twitter feed, you'll see

856
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: the video I did at Jay Harris Football. You'll check

857
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 1: it out. It's one of the plays against uh against

858
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: these Georgia Bulldogs. And the thing about Georgia that I

859
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: love is you're gonna see more of an NFL style defense,

860
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: not just the players, but the scheme and things that

861
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: they do because of Kirby Smart And they had a month,

862
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: they had a month to prepare for CJ. Stroud in

863
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: that game. A month and he put up forty two

864
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: and probably should have put up fifty. And I hate

865
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: the fact that Ryan Day took the ball out of

866
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: his hands late in the fourth quarter after he's had

867
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: a long scramble. Let him keep throwing. He was dynamic

868
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: that night. I did do that, didn't he He went,

869
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: he went off. I you know, I mean, I just

870
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm for it. I did not see this happening. We've

871
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: been talking about this. We had kind of written it

872
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: off in some sense, but it happened. And then this

873
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: happened shortly thereafter.

874
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 9: But Cardinals all week long, You've been talking to team

875
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 9: about moving back from number three. They need to add picks.

876
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 9: The Texans have a lot of draft capital to move up,

877
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 9: and they are moving up from number twelve to number three,

878
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 9: trading with the Arizona Cardinals, and they are selecting edge

879
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 9: rusher Will Anderson out of Alabamas.

880
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, holy moly, outstanding.

881
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 2: Wow, Nick did it to Miko and Nick hugging in

882
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 2: the Texans warm room.

883
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 6: Would they have to give up to move from twelve

884
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 6: to three?

885
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 4: I would for you.

886
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: But can we just celebrate this weekend the Texans taking c. J.
