Well actually i am, 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: but and I'm not a total careful freak. I should 14 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: put it that way. But he's eight, right, I don't 15 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: want to be going nuts with these things. And I 16 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: told him not after nine thirty last night and a 17 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: bunch of other things. I really made it tight. You know. 18 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: I know after this show he's gonna be bothering me 19 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: about doing some more of those things. So we'll see maybe. 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, fifth think Johnny, I saw some fireworks in 21 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: the Land of sugar and they were nice and it 22 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: was great to have that day and this day, and uh, 23 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm excited. It's July. Man, it's coming up. We have 24 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: camp in three weeks from I don't know when. The 25 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: first practice is Friday, Thursday something like that. Yeah, no doubt. 26 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: The Harris women are out in LA. So my daughter 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: was instagramming the fireworks that she was seeing from her 28 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: back porch in North Hollywood, which is totally in completely 29 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: weird to say that they're out there, but they're out 30 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: there for the month of July and they are hopefully 31 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: going to enjoy LA. I just looked at the weather 32 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: a little while ago out in LA and North Hollywood, 33 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, come on, man, I mean, seventy 34 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: nine degrees in the middle of the day. Oh, that's 35 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: good for them, though, I mean, I'm happy for them 36 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: they got I had seventy nine degrees during the massive 37 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: rain storm earlier today and that was pretty good. Yeah, 38 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: there's that, and there's been plenty of that. And hopefully 39 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: from my side of town, we don't get that because 40 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: we got one yesterday. Holy smokes. I did not think 41 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: I was gonna get my inaugural trip to the grill 42 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: to do ribs, but I was able to squeeze it 43 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: in yesterday. So yeah, yeah, they came out pretty good. 44 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: I gotta admit they came out pretty good. A little different. 45 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: I didn't do the whole smoking thing and I didn't 46 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: do all that. So I steamed him then put him 47 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: on the grill. So I didn't you cook him for 48 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: I steamed him for about an hour and a half 49 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: and then I put him on the grill. I don't know, 50 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: I'm a girl. Twenty minutes after that, I guess they 51 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: ended up being good. The thing is my wife and 52 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: my daughter, Well, my daughter's a vegetarian, but my wife 53 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: doesn't like ribs. She's from North Carolina. You would think 54 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: barbecue would be something she loved. She does not love 55 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: barbecue at all. She does love eastern North cana on 56 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: a barbecue, but if you know anything about barbecue, you 57 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: know those are like night and day. So with them gone, 58 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about all these different foods that I can do, 59 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: and ribs I've never done because they've always been here. 60 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: So I decided to do ribbs yesterday and they came 61 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: out okay. I also did what El said yesterday. Oh, 62 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: I made my son's mac and cheese that he likes, 63 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 1: and then I made a blueberry cobbler. So with them gone, 64 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: I'm doing a lot of cooking. I'm staying busy. I 65 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: need football season, Mark, I need football season to be 66 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: here to give me, give me something to do other 67 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: than getting fat and cooking. So yeah, we're gonna talk 68 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: football and not cooking on the show in our next segment. 69 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: I saw a post the Texas are playing the AFC 70 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: East this year, and I saw us post on I 71 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: think it was on Instagram that I thought it was interesting. 72 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: Of the four teams in that division, four key games 73 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: that Texas are gonna play and get suggests the Bills, 74 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots, and the Dolphins. We'll get to that in 75 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: our next segment. But I've been working on a series 76 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: as my voice cracks there, and I finished it. I 77 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: think it was last week that I finished it. I 78 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: did Harris one hundred top one hundred players the Texans 79 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: face in twenty twenty one. But the one thing I 80 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: didn't do was I didn't sit down and go, Okay, 81 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: well who are the best players? Just regard your regardless 82 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: of position. I'm said, you're regardless regardless of position that 83 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: the Texans will face in twenty twenty one. And I 84 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I'm gonna pass my homework 85 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: off to Mark. I'm gonna give my homework to Mark 86 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: for him to come up with the ultimate eleven players 87 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: the Texans face regardless of position. I know who I 88 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: have at number one. Okay, it's not a quarterback. I 89 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: bet we have them the same one. So here we go, Mark, 90 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: you're ultimate eleven players the Texans face in twenty twenty one. 91 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: All right, we'll go through these. Johnny, and I want 92 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: to preface this by saying, you know, usually we talk 93 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: about quarterbacks and the MVP quarter back debate. Can you 94 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: have an MVP? He's not a quarterback. The quarterback is 95 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,119 Speaker 1: the most important position on the team. Blah blah blah. 96 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 1: We have these talks all the time. But I really 97 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: think that it's interesting this year when you just point 98 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: out that, oh my gosh, they have to face Patrick Mahomes. 99 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: No they don't. They have to face Tom Brady, No 100 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: they don't. They have to face Aaron Rodgers, No they don't. 101 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: There's some good things about this schedule when you look 102 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: at it that way. As far as the quarterbacks, go. 103 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: Not that they're any layups here. There's no layoup in 104 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: the National Football League. And you do have some very 105 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: tough quarterbacks who are on this list. But let's start here. 106 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go from not worst to first, but lowest 107 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: when we go ultimate eleven eleven players and number eleven 108 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: is And I know it hasn't been a really great 109 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: spring as far as he the media and his organization, 110 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: but stefand Gilmour Johnny for the New England Patriots as 111 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: a very tough customer as we all know, and I 112 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: expect him to be good again. Now maybe he's not, 113 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: maybe he's not all that. The Patriots have all those 114 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: opt ins from the opt outs lat year, but remember 115 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: that this little dynamic will help them out an awful lot. 116 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: I mean every boat rises with that tide when you 117 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: add those players back into the mix. And Gilmore he'll play, 118 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: all right. I know he's unhappy with the contract and everything, 119 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: but at some point he plays, and he's my eleventh 120 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: best player that the Texas will be PHAs sick this year. Yeah, 121 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: it's interesting. Mark with Gilmore, I agree with you as 122 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: far as where he's placed. I think you're you're dead 123 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: on when I was going through it, positioned by position, 124 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: I had three Patriots corners. Make my Harris one hundred. 125 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: I had three because you know about Stefan Gilmore and 126 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: I don't want to take anything away because maybe it'll 127 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: come up. But J. C. Jackson is phenomenal. Yeah, nine 128 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: interceptions last year, which is one of the highest totals 129 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: there's been. I mean, Xavian Howard had ten nineteen between 130 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: those two guys, but then you also have Jonathan Jones 131 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: that Nichol who really played very well. They had three 132 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: cover guys that they can throw at you at any 133 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: point and kind of mix and match how they want 134 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: to cover with you. Now, Texas have had some success 135 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: against them. Part of that was because they had Will Fuller, 136 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: but Brandy Cooks had some success against them last year. 137 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,119 Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see how the Texans will face 138 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: those three guys. At least that game is at Energy 139 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: Stadium October tenth, number eleven. Stefan Gilmour, all right, mark 140 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: number ten, number ten. I'm gonna stay at the cornerback 141 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: position and go with Jail and Ramsey of the La Rams. 142 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: I know you're thinking, how's he ranked as low as ten? Yeah, look, 143 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: I do value quarterbacks higher. Even though I just went 144 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: to that whole quarterback spiel. Ramsey is difficult to play. 145 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: You know. The weird thing about Ramsey Johnny is also 146 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: I'll never forget the matchup with Hopkins in the season 147 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: finale in what was that year eighteen when Hopkins and 148 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: Ramsey went at it again. Yeah it was eighteen because 149 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: nineteen was the Titans to go. Oh yeah yeah yeah. 150 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: So I was eighteen at home and Ramsey kind of 151 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: took the day off on Hopkins, right, he was given 152 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: a big cushion. Hopkins was having his way. Ramsey was 153 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: not up for the big task that day because he 154 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: was unhappy in Jacksonville. And the rest is history. And 155 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: I just look at that. Ramsey is capable of these 156 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: kinds of days. I don't like players who do that. Ever, 157 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he's out of standing. I'm not saying 158 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen when the Texans play the Rams this 159 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: year at NRG Stadium, but I'm putting Ramsey at ten 160 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: because of that. I'm punishing him, and he's the tenth 161 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: best player the Texans will face this year. You have 162 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: a long memory. I totally had forgotten about that, And 163 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: you're right. I didn't care for that either. With Ramsey Man, 164 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: he's good. He gives grief when he is on My goodness, 165 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: Texans face the Rams, as Mark said, Energy Stadium Halloween 166 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: Sunday at noon. All right, Mark, number nine, I'm dressing up. 167 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: I don't know as what yet. I might be Howard 168 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: Stern as I often am, but that would look funny 169 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: at the stadium if I arrived that way. Number nine 170 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: another defensive player, and you can argue that he should 171 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: be ranked higher as well. But it's a Week two 172 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: matchup by the Lake. Miles Garrett is the ninth best 173 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: player the Texans will face this year. Look, we all 174 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: know how dangerous he can be, rushing to pass or 175 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: stopping the rhyme, just wreaking havoc, game wrecking, all of that. 176 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: I believe he's worthy of this Ultimate eleven assignment. Yeah, 177 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: I think you're right. Actually I don't. I don't think 178 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: you're wrong about where he is. And here's the thing 179 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: with Garrett, and this is the scary part, is that 180 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: Garrett is capable of being the number one player on 181 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: this list. I mean, he he has that talent, he 182 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: has that football ability. I mean, I always when people 183 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: ask me a difference between Miles Garrett Denion Clowney coming out, 184 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: he said, well, I think Garrett's a way better athlete, 185 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: which is crazy to say because JD. But I thought 186 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: JD was he was a better football player. Garrett's football 187 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: playing skills, I think are still kind of catching up 188 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: that fuddicism when those two intersect, forget it, but they 189 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: haven't quite quite gotten there yet. So I think number nine, 190 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: that's a good spot. Texans will go on the road 191 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: to face the Browns this time in September. Last year 192 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: it was in November and it was brutal, well brutal. 193 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: You could still get a weather delay like they did 194 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: last year. You could still get a weather delay in 195 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: September very easily, in fact, more easily, I think than 196 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: later in the season. All right, let's do this now, 197 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: Number eight the first Yeah, and he makes an appearance here, 198 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: and it's a quarterback from LA but it's not who 199 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: you think. It's the second year signal caller with the Chargers, 200 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. I didn't even have Stafford in my ultimate eleven. 201 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: I know Stafford's real good, But here's the thing about Stafford, 202 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: I just go back to Thanksgiving Day matchups with the Texans. 203 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: In fact, in twelve, he was a lot better than 204 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: he was last year in that game. This is a 205 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: four and twelve football team that Texans world, and they 206 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: turned Stafford over Stafford. You know how I feel about him. 207 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: I know Andrea loves him. I know that he's got 208 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: tremendous arm talent, and maybe this is it, this is 209 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: the marriage made in heaven. He McVeigh, the Rams, the 210 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: LA thing, the whole deal. Maybe it's wonderful for him. 211 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: And I'm talking more about Stafford than I'm about Herbert 212 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: right now. So let's put Stafford to the side. Herbert 213 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: Johnny year two, Year one was no aberration. I'm just 214 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: afraid you're looking at a guy who is going to 215 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: be one of the elite players in this league at 216 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: the possession, at the position. In year two he makes 217 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: my ultimate eleven Texans opponent players and he is number eight. Yeah. 218 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: And the Chargers also then went to the offensive line. 219 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: They went signed Corey Lindsley to plan the offensive line. 220 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: They went and got Rashaun Slater in the first round 221 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: to play tackle or guard depending. They went to both 222 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: of the offensive line in front of him. I think 223 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: it is the perfect spot for Herbert, and I think 224 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: he is only going to ascend. I think that as 225 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: long as they continue to protect him, I think the 226 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: Chargers could be a steaky hot team. I think the 227 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: West is gonna be tough obviously with the Chiefs, but 228 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: everybody kind of trying to get to the number two spot. 229 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: And I don't trust the Raiders at all. Lebroncos Bridgewater 230 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: or Drew Locke, man, you can have them, but then 231 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: you talk about Herbert. That defense has still got a 232 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: bossa Derwin James and Chris Harris Junior. I mean they 233 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: still got some players on that side of the ball. 234 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: That team could be sneaky hot. Day after Christmas, Sunday, 235 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: New Kickoff at Energy Stadium. Justin Herbert. Last time I 236 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: saw him lives at the Senior Bowl and man, he 237 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: impressed the heck out of me. And then he showed 238 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,599 Speaker 1: it off last year throughout the NFL Bowl. He was fantastic. 239 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: Lucky number seven is up. Here's number seven now. I 240 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: wanted to put Keenan Allen on the list, also a 241 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: Charger who I think is underrated as a player. But 242 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: whenever you talk about underrated wide receivers. His name always 243 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: comes up, so maybe he's not that underrated after all. 244 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: But he's a steady, reliable route runner, really terrific playmaker 245 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: for that franchise. But I'm gonna go back to the 246 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball here, and maybe I'm giving 247 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: him too much respect because he's a cult. But Darius Leonard, 248 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: who I think could have a big year in Indie. 249 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: You know, we're talking a lot about that Indie offense 250 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz and everything, but maybe we should be 251 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: talking more about this defense and what they're capable of. 252 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: You know, I know Leonard, you know he has a 253 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: little bit of an ebb and flow thing going on 254 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: with his career, but it could be a flow year 255 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: for him. And I just think he's a cult. I'm 256 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: gonna give him some I'm gonna give him a wide 257 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: berth here in a lot of respect. I'm gonna put 258 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: him at number seven. Do you have another cult on 259 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: this list? No, I'm done with them, So you go 260 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: Darius Leonard over to Forest Buckner. Well, I toyed with 261 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: the idea of Buckner and maybe he's even more important. 262 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: But also I think Buckner's ability enables a guy like 263 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: Leonard to shine even more and maybe steal more headlines 264 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: than a Buckner would. Buckner's probably you regard it as 265 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: a better player right now overall, perhaps, and maybe I 266 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: should have put him up there. I thought about this 267 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: having two Cults on there, but I was starting to 268 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: like throw up a little bit of my mouth, so 269 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: I just put letter on there. Remember, and I think 270 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: either I think Gary Kubiak said this on Brian Cushing 271 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: is the fifty three that SuDS put together. Tyler Stoth. 272 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: You got to see it. And I've said this a 273 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: few times about Cushing. I always feel like Cushing was 274 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: the soul of that defense. Yeah, like that, he was 275 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: the guy that gave it the intensity, energy that just 276 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: the PNAJ. I think Leonard does that for the Colts. 277 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's the best player on the 278 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: cold defense, but I know that he's what drives that 279 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: Colts defense, and so for that I would give him. 280 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: I give him absolutely credit. I think you're dead on 281 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: all right. Number six. All right, number I'm waiting here. 282 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: I'm waiting here for a few guys. Okay, all right. 283 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: Number six is the most painful addition to this opponent 284 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: list as I could imagine, And it's not JJ Watt, 285 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: who I don't think is in the top eleven here. 286 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: Not that Watch is incapable of having a big game 287 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: against the Texas. He's certainly capable. But I think DeAndre 288 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: Hopkins is somebody that you have to really be careful 289 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: with here on any given day, and especially against his 290 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: former team. And I just think he's obviously a terrific receiver, 291 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: terrific player. I put him at number six, Johnny dangerous guy. 292 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: Driving through Phoenix the other day. I wanted to call 293 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: him and say, hey, but I didn't think he'd be 294 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: in Phoenix in the off season. But the Texans will 295 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: be in Phoenix Glendale to be exact, Sunday, October twenty four, 296 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: take on the Cardinals and Kyler Murray and JJ Watt 297 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: and number six DeAndre Hopkins. As soon as you started that, 298 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, no, I know where this is going. 299 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: Oh it still stinks, all right, mark number five, all right, 300 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: top five. It's hard to call this guy underrated. And 301 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna ask, well, why do I have him rated 302 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: ahead of Hopkins? I think this guy does slip when 303 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: we talk about the best receivers in the game, and 304 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, to me, is one of them. I was 305 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: on break, and I was in a hotel room and 306 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: I was watching. You know, the NFL network does a 307 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: great job of just replaying recent playoff games two, three, 308 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: four years ago, and they were replaying the Minnesota Miracle, right, 309 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: and that game alone. You just see how unbelievably mighty 310 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: Diggs is. Right, Yeah, he's so good. He's such a 311 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: terrific playmaker, he's clutch, he's all those things. And look 312 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: what he's doing now in Buffalo with Josh Allen. I 313 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: think Diggs is extremely dangerous. I really wanted to put 314 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb on my list somewhere because I think he's 315 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: also another dangerous guy. But you know, I only have 316 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: eleven spots here. I put Diggs as my number five 317 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: player this ultimate eleven. I think you're dead on. I 318 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: think fun Days would be in my top five for sure. 319 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: I think you are absolutely dead on. With that and 320 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: Diggs and Hopkins being that close, I mean, I think 321 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: those two guys played as well as any receivers played 322 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: last year, and we'll see both of them unfortunately. All right, 323 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: let's go to the final four. Starting at my final four. 324 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: Here we go quarterback Russell Wilson. Who look, we saw 325 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,479 Speaker 1: what he did in seventeen, We saw what he did 326 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: in thirteen. We see what he does every year. And 327 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: he is one of those guys you can never count out. 328 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: He can make plays with his legs. He's having a 329 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: bad day, all of a sudden, makes two three throws 330 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: and the whole game is completely different. He's going to 331 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: be at your plays. This is a very tough competitor 332 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: and definitely deserves to be in the top four here. 333 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes quarterbacks are overrated. He's not. He is 334 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: a franchise player in the Pacific Northwest, and he's coming 335 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: here again for the first time since twenty thirteen. Oh 336 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: I mean when you said thirteen seventeen, he's only facing 337 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: Texans twice. Oh my god, talk about steel hearts both times. 338 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: I mean both times. I mean just snatching victory for 339 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: the jaws of the feat My goodness. Okay, Johnny, that 340 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: game I listened, It's weird. Was on a plane and 341 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: for some reason, all my downloads for TV programming didn't work, 342 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: and my music was screwed up, and I went into 343 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: my audio files and for some reason. I had the 344 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: last quarter of that Seattle game in seventeen. Oh the 345 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: radio call, you Andre myself calling that game and I'm 346 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: listening to it and I'm like, oh my gosh, by 347 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: the way, we ran the ball three times, didn't we did? 348 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: We run it three times trying to get the first 349 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: down to keep it away from Wilson. I'm like, oh, please, 350 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: just and you know it's funny, because funny two years later, 351 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: there you are in Kansas City and he trusts and 352 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: make a play, and I'm thinking, just throw it because 353 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: they're waiting on the run. You know, let him do something. 354 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: And it's easy. You were said than done. It's easy 355 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: for me to say now, hindsight being perfect and all 356 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: of that. That game, though, was such a heartbreaker. I'm like, gosh, 357 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: should make the stop, but he hits up. Oh man, 358 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: those last fifteen minutes are just incredible. By the way. 359 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: I think he would have pulled it on the zone 360 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: read on that final one had he been healthy, but 361 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: he knew he wasn't healthy. Man, where you go? Okay, 362 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: that's right. Final three. I think I know two of them. 363 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out who the third one is. Okay, 364 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: three number three, Josh Allen. But Josh Allen actually ahead 365 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: of Russell Wilson. I just think Allen took a huge 366 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: leap statistically. It's proven for the Buffalo Bills. They made 367 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: it to the AFC Championship Game. This is a big 368 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: game for him. He knows it. You're up there, and 369 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: Josh Allen has become one of the premier quarterbacks in 370 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: our game. His ability to run and throw and throw 371 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: it much better than he did earlier on in his career. 372 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,719 Speaker 1: This is gonna be huge, and I just think he 373 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: deserves this status of being a top three opponent of 374 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans individually in twenty twenty one. Yeah, no doubt. 375 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: I knew that's where you were going. Now, these final two, 376 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: I know one of them. I'm not sure the other 377 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: one is. I'm curious to hear these two are right? 378 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: Your final two? Here we go? All right, my final two. Now, 379 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: you could put either one in any any the I mean, 380 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: you do that with any a lot of these guys, right, 381 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: But number two is going to be a defensive player 382 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: for the La Rams Aaron Donald, who I'm sure you 383 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: might have as the number one player the Texans will 384 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: face this year. Overall, the ability to stop the run, 385 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: to rush the past, or to wreck the game. You know, 386 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: the same things we said about Miles Garrett, but obviously 387 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: the different way, different body type, all of that. Aaron 388 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: Donald is a total train wreck for the opponent. And 389 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: he's one of the best players you're gonna see all year. 390 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: I know you have a number one. I don't know 391 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: why I didn't think of this. I'm so stupid. I'm 392 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: so stupid. I'm so dumb. It's like one of those 393 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: things where it's writer. It's like runnerneath through knows and 394 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: you just can't see it. But I would have had 395 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald number one. I just I've watched some I've 396 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 1: watched some of his games, you know, on the All 397 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: twenty two over the last few years, just because I 398 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,959 Speaker 1: want to see what he looks like. We don't get 399 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: to see him very much. But I remember going out 400 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: and seeing him in seventeen, like, okay, it's his fourth 401 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: year in the league. How well, third play of the 402 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: game he lines up wide and goes right by I 403 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: think it was Stuphilo and I'm like, oh my god, 404 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: and it was just who's so quick and so fast? 405 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: He's incredible but I just figured out who you have 406 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: at number one. But you break it to the people 407 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: because my guess is we face this guy twice a year. Well, yes, 408 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: we do face him twice a year, and he posts 409 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: workout videos Instagram a lot. It's like watching de Niro 410 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: working out in Cape Fear. You know what's coming and 411 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: you just hope you can stop it. It's Derrick Henry 412 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: of the Tennessee Titans. He's a superstar, super stud and 413 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: you got to find a way to slow him down. 414 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: For the first time since that twenty nineteen matchup up 415 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: there when you're able to hold him in the eighties, 416 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: which for him is a very low total, and you 417 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: were able to win the football game. You've got to 418 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: find a way to slow him down. He is a nightmare. 419 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 1: You do face him twice. They are the defending AFC 420 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: South champions now, so good luck. Got to find a 421 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: way to do it. I don't know how they're going 422 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: to do it, But to me is the number one guy. 423 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: Because I've said it, I got to back up my 424 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,239 Speaker 1: MVP call. He was the MVP of the league last year. 425 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: There's no doubt in my mind, and he's on his 426 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: way to doing it again unless people can find a 427 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: way to stop him. God, you're just he defies every 428 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: description and everything you know about a running back. Big 429 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: upright runners don't work in this league. That's happened. Guys 430 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: that take a lot of hits even in college, they 431 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: don't make in this league. Guys running backs that signed 432 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: big second contracts never make it in this league. Oh, 433 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: he'll run out a game. None of this has happened. 434 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: He's defied description every time he gets better in the 435 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,719 Speaker 1: fourth quarter with carry twenty two or twenty three if 436 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: he ever gets it high. I mean, he's absolutely been phenomenal. 437 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: And of course he saves his best for the division. 438 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: I think I read a stat mark on him, and 439 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: I believe it was if you just took the six 440 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: games and he had in the division, just the six 441 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: games in the division, he still would have been tied 442 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: ten in the league in rushing. That says everything. I 443 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: am scary, absolutely downright scary. Okay, I got a few 444 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: to bounce off you to see why they didn't quite 445 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: make the list. And the AFC East is it loaded 446 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,719 Speaker 1: offensively In twenty twenty one, the Texas face them. I'll 447 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: bounced it off Mark as well, next right here in 448 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: Texas All Access PAR Texans All Access PAR Texans All 449 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: Access Texans, welcome back this money at issue to Texans 450 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: All Access. I'm your host, Sean Harris. I am here. 451 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: My man, Mark vander Beer is there. Mark, you did 452 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: a really nice job. I gotta give you credit. You know, 453 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: I used to grade homework all the time, and that's 454 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: as good a homework assignment as I've seen in a 455 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: long time. You get very, very well the ultimate eleven 456 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: players in Texas face in twenty twenty one. I have 457 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: a few to bounce off of you that I would 458 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: have considered. I want to get your thoughts, and I 459 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: will start with the quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals, Kyler Murray. No. 460 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: I just think Herbert is gonna be better. All right. 461 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: You could argue he's better already in some ways they've 462 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: given They've given Murray a lot of weapons, and he's 463 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: got one more now, so let's see how that goes 464 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: for him. I just think, as far as quarterbacks on 465 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: this list goes, I think if GM's were drafting, Josh 466 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: Allen's going ahead of Murray. I think Herbert's going ahead 467 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: of Murray. And I think Russell Wilson's going ahead of 468 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: Murray other than Age, right, So I'll leave Murray off 469 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: for now. You mentioned Nick Chubb, that was and I 470 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: would have given him similar consideration, not to Derrick Henry, 471 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: but I'm with you. I would have kept him probably 472 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: just a hair out of that list. But Derrick Henry 473 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: is number one. What about wide receiver A J. Brown? Yeah, 474 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: I think Brown certainly deserves a long look. I think 475 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: as far as the receivers on my list, Stefan, Diggs 476 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: and Hopkins are better than Brown, right, I think any 477 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: GM would would take those guys over A J. Brown, 478 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: other than again, Age possibly being a factor there. Look, 479 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: I think highly of the guy as a player. In 480 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: other words, I hate him like poison because he plays 481 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans and he makes plays against the 482 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. And I think he got a lot better 483 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: between year one and year two. So I'm not that 484 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: enthusiastic about year three here, but we got to live 485 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: with it and see what he brings to the table. 486 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: But to me, he was kind of on the outside 487 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: looking in here, Johnny. I think a lot of guys 488 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: can be and you know, like there are other corners 489 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: that I consider, like Tredavious White and Denzel Ward. And 490 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: you know Xavian Howard you mentioned him. You know you 491 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: can argue over Gilmore maybe, but look, they're all good. 492 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: They're all good here, right, And I felt like I 493 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: needed to put a patriot on there. I don't know why. No, 494 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. I think I think a 495 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: patriot should have gone there. I'll ask you about two 496 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: guys that haven't been healthy there. Weren't healthy last year. 497 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: One team probably suffered a little bit without him. One 498 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: team did things that that organization hadn't done in decades. 499 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: If you had to put one of these two on 500 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: the list, who would you pick? Brown's wide receiver OBJ, 501 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: Caroline Panthers running back at Straordinary Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey over 502 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: OBJ all day long, twice on Sunday, because look, I 503 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: know they both have injury issues, right, And we sought 504 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: up close and personal with McCaffrey in twenty nineteen. We thought, 505 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: is this got to give me a last You know, 506 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: they're using them more than the Texans used Dominic Davis 507 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: back in the day, right, They're just pressing that McCaffrey 508 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: button all the time on the Xbox. You've got to 509 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: find a way to get them a little bit of arrest, 510 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: and eventually they paid the price for it. Last year, 511 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: him added to that attack is definitely going to be 512 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: something to deal with. How did they get to the 513 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: Texans in twenty nineteen with Kyle Allen, Well, McCaffrey did 514 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: a whole lot right. So everyone's you know, and I'm 515 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: with you. You know, week week three, they're coming in 516 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: Thursday night. You know it weren't that good last year. 517 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: You know, I get it, and I feel that way too. However, 518 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: I'm reminded of what happened. It's one in nineteen and 519 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, geez, you know, here we are. We don't 520 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: really even know what the Texans have yet. You know, 521 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: we see it on paper, we want to see it 522 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: on the field. They're gonna be tough. So I think 523 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: McCaffrey certainly would deserve the nod over OBJ who you 524 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: can throw in there. And he's gonna make a player too, 525 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: but he's really going to carry that team. And by 526 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: the way, with Chubb and the Browns, I would have 527 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: put him in more as a nod to their running game, 528 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: as an ensemble as an attack mode, you know, with 529 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: Hunt and Chubb and that line that just has developed 530 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: a nastiness too. By the lake there. They are just 531 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: they're one to be reckoned with. And if Mayfield can 532 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: just keep his head on straight and it's roll more accurately, 533 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: which I don't think he's been doing enough, they are 534 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: extremely dangerous out of the AFC North. Yeah, they that 535 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: offensive line. I think if you ask Texans fans, they would, 536 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: you know, regurgitate, oh, Colts, Colts, Colt, Yeah, because Coltsuff's 537 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: line is very, very good. But that Browns line with 538 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: Jack Conklin and Will's a tackle and Wyatt Teller and 539 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: Batonio at guard and Tredder in the middle that line. 540 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: There isn't much, if anything, that separates the Browns offensive 541 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: line and the Colts offensive lines. And I think Chubb 542 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: and Cream Hunter are just a hair ahead of Jonathan 543 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: Taylor and the group in Indianapolis, but there's not much 544 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: that separates them. I think those might be the two 545 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: best offensive lines. And Texans are going to face in 546 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one with those two. I mean they are, 547 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: they are exceptional. Unfortunately, you gotta face Quinn Nelson and 548 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: the guys twice. I'm not looking forward to that. Now. 549 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: We also face the AFC East and Mark I happened 550 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: to see this and I thought it was a good 551 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: talking point in facing the AFC East. And I don't 552 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: know who. I think it may have been the NFL 553 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: that posted this on its Instagram and it just said, 554 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: choose your AFC East all star offense. One quarterback, one 555 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: running back, one wide receiver in one tight end. And 556 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: just when I thought, Okay, I'm gonna go with that group, 557 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: then I was like, man, I don't know if I 558 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: like that guy. So obviously the four teams the AFC 559 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: East are the Bills, the Dolphins, and Jets of the Patriots. 560 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: So from the Bills that's Josh Allen, Devin Singletary, Stefon Diggs, 561 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, Dolphins Tua, Miles Gaskin. They picked Jalen Waddle 562 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: over DeVante Parker, will Fuller tight end, Mike Gisiki, the 563 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: Jets Zach Wilson, Tevin Coleman, Corey Davis form of the Titans, 564 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: and Chris Hernon the tight end. And the Patriots Cam Newton, 565 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: Damian Harris, Nelson, Aguilar Hunter, Henry so As I thought 566 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: about this in facing the AFC East Mark and those 567 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: are the groups I was like, you know, I don't 568 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: know if any of those offenses completely and totally blow 569 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: you away. However, there is some firepower in each offense 570 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: as you look at it. Which one is the more 571 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: difficult one to face? Is it the Bills? Because of Allen? 572 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: And only because al Well, here's how I feel. If 573 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm a defensive coordinator and you're allowing me to cross 574 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: one of these off the list, like, hey, coach, you 575 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,479 Speaker 1: don't have to face one of these groups. Which one 576 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: are you crossing off the list? Like, I don't have 577 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: to deal with that? Bills? Yeah, automatically, I mean bills, bills, bills. 578 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: I'll take my shot at Zach Wilson. I'll take my 579 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: chances with Tua trying to really get his career going 580 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: here year two, and I'll definitely take my chances with Cam, 581 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: who is just you know, minutes away from his next injury. 582 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: And I hate to put it that way because I 583 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: do like Cam, but I just it's been a rough 584 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: go for him lately. And the Patriots, I believe can 585 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: have a pretty good year, but that's largely based on 586 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: their ability to play defense to me, with all the 587 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: opt out guys coming back more than their ability to 588 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: play high level offense. Yeah, I think you're right. I 589 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: think crossing the bills off I think Josh Allen it's 590 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: it's crazy because Josh Allen is just enough, not even 591 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: I don't even say wild card. He's He's excellent out 592 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,959 Speaker 1: of the pocket. And that scares me. Whenever you have 593 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: to face a guy like that, you just don't know, Man, 594 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: he can have one of those days. We've seen that before. 595 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we saw in twenty eighteen, we saw 596 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: him doing the second half of the playoff game. But 597 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Josh Allen went to a whole different level 598 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: because he harnessed that consistency. And then you're like, wait 599 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: a second, He's now being consistent, and he's making some 600 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: of these plays out of the pocket, and he's delivering 601 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: from the pocket, and Stefan Diggs helps him immensely, and 602 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: the run game is what it is. I just if 603 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: there's a way that you can slow Digs down and 604 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: force him to go to somebody else, maybe maybe you've 605 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: got a shot. I think the Dolphins to me, as 606 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: I look at that list, if Tuah is legit. With 607 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: Will Fuller and with Davante Parker, and with Wattle and 608 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: with Jachim Grant, they may be as fast as any 609 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: group in the entire NFL. Sicky is ridiculous. So you 610 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: throw all that in and Miles Gaskin, I think it 611 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: is extremely underrated, extremely underrated as a running back. But 612 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: I do think the running game holds him back a 613 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: little bit. I think the offensive line is not quite 614 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: there yet. It's not into the classes we mentioned the 615 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: Browns and the Colts, so I think their offensive held 616 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: back a little bit because of that. But we have 617 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: no idea what Too is going to bring to the party. 618 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: There were times where you looked at it last year 619 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: and went, okay, balls coming out quick, coming out hot, 620 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: doing some good things. Last game of the year when 621 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: they've got to Winnie throws three interceptions against the Patriots. 622 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: Now the Patriots will make you do that. And I 623 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: was listening to a podcast couple of weeks ago, and 624 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: it wasn't even a NFL podcast. It was more comfortable podcast, 625 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: but it was a scheme, a defensive scheme related one. 626 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: And the host, guy named Coach Vass, who's excellent, was 627 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,719 Speaker 1: talking about the Patriots and what he sees from them defensively, 628 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: and he's like, they are the best schemers by far, 629 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: are without a doubt that that you find in the NFL. 630 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: And he said, just they're just amazing in what they 631 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: can do. And that game with two it didn't get 632 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: brought up, but I got to thinking about that, like, yeah, 633 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: you know what, I could see them doing that to 634 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, just kind of winding there, you know, 635 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: just tangling those knots with what they do defensively. But 636 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots, as I look at that list, I know 637 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: they did a ton of offseason Johnny Smith, Nelson Aguilar, 638 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: Kendrick Bourne, I mean they did a lot. I really 639 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: don't fear that offense because of Cam being so banged 640 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: up all these I mean the last couple of years, 641 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: he hasn't played even close to a full season. The 642 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: last two three years. I think they did Carolina Panthers. 643 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: They did Carolina Panthers all or nothing. In twenty eighteen 644 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: he missed half that year, So I just don't know that. 645 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: And again going back to your thought about Zack Wilson, 646 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: I'll face the Patriots and Mac Jones a day cam 647 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: can find he's got enough guile to get them to 648 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: a win like he almost did against us last year. 649 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: But rookie, I'll take that. I'll take that for sure. 650 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 1: So I think the Dolphins could be the wild card 651 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: net group. I think the Jets talent is getting better, 652 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: but I think the Dolphins with what they were able 653 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: to do getting Jalen Waddle kind I'm moving up and 654 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: down the board to get back to number six to 655 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: get Waddle, give him the TA two is used to 656 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: throw into him and then see where that group is. 657 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins in due time could end up 658 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: being the group of those four that scares them. Even 659 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen, I think the Bills need one more piece, 660 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, Bills, one more piece, well, probably one more 661 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: piece to get up to the super Bowl level, right yeah. 662 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: I think as far as the AFC East winning the 663 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: division level, I think they're in really great shape. And 664 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: then you said it yourself, you're looking at it possibly 665 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: rookie rookie and second year quarterback and then Josh Allen 666 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: as far as your quarterback mix right there, and you 667 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: know how many plays last year did you see two 668 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: of make where you're just oh my gosh, you know, 669 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: blame throwing plays even with his legs doing things that 670 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: are really cool. Yet coming back from the hip injury, 671 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: as so much has been discussed there, who knows what 672 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: he's feeling inside. But with Josh Allen, even when he 673 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: couldn't throw it that well, he's still had the fire 674 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: hose arm and legs that could make plays and now 675 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: he's putting it together with accuracy. Oh my gosh, it's frightening. Now. 676 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: The sports media in New England they're talking about, well see, hey, uh, 677 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm doing Charlie casually talking about 678 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: New England sports, but I'm I'm gonna scrap the sports 679 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm the bullost that accent right now. The point is this, 680 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: they were talking about possibly Hoyer getting some snaps if 681 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: Cam's not completely healthy, and Belichick having deer in the 682 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: headlights eyes on seeing Mac Jones and training camp struggling. 683 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 1: Possibly why not put Hoyer in until Jones is ready 684 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: or Newton is completely healthy in case he's not. If 685 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: Newton's healthy, it's Newton all day long. In my opinion, 686 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: it's got him right. I think healthy non COVID Cam 687 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 1: is gonna make some things happen to the point where 688 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna say, well, we gotta play this guy, right. 689 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: So it's kind of interesting what they're talking about up 690 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: there with the quarterback situation, But they do have Hoyer 691 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:24,280 Speaker 1: as a potential band aid until other things could be ready. Boy, 692 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: he's sometimes a small band aid. Sometimes he's a big 693 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 1: band aid with a defense. You know. I think it's 694 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: a three or four week thing for anybody with him, 695 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: you know, And that's not an insult. It's not an insult. 696 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: He's lived in this league. Heck, we saw him in 697 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. He's been in this league for 698 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 1: a long time. That says you're Wookie that year. So 699 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 1: this is his thirteenth year. My goodness, it's at least 700 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: I believe it's a drafted year. Undrafted guys stuck around 701 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: that long. Oh my goodness. Before I let you go, 702 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 1: the news about the Cowboys getting hard knocks, I love it. 703 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: It's a you know, we can be a distraction. I 704 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: think it's always fun to see them, you know, the 705 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys supplying endless amounts of content to NFL means already 706 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: and to hard knocks. You know, I go back to 707 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: two thousand and two, and remember the rolling ball of 708 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,959 Speaker 1: butcher Knives and the Cowboys singer, you know, the West 709 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: Country and Western singer guy, and all this other stuff 710 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: that they had going on in that Hard Knocks series. 711 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 1: I think it's good stuff. Yeah, it definitely is good stuff. 712 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: Not as good as Vince Wilfork showing up in overalls 713 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: and locker rooms and just overalls. But it's the fourth time, 714 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: and it's the fourth time for a reason. Mark appreciate it. 715 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Thanks Shotny. All right, we get 716 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: back a little quickly going around in the NFL. Next 717 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,720 Speaker 1: right here on Texans All Access, All Access All Acts. 718 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: One final segment this Monday edition that Texans All Access 719 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: from Honday, Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, Sean Harris. 720 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: Hopefully you all had a tremendous July fourth holiday, had 721 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: the weekend two in men today. I know a lot 722 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 1: of people had today as well. Some people didn't. Some 723 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: people did. I know my guys at Sports Radio six 724 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,280 Speaker 1: ten and all took the day off. But we're still working. 725 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: That's okay. Everybody's got to get a break every now 726 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: and again. It's a good time to get a break 727 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: because football is going to be here before we know it. Actually, 728 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: I guess maybe we can look at it and say 729 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: it never left. It never left. As we go around, 730 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: As we go around the NFL, you realize that because 731 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: down in Jacksonville, we're over in Jacksonville, because they're in 732 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: the same latitude line latitude, longitude, longitude, latitude god latitude right, yeah, 733 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: long goes yeah, latitude. I'll figure it out one of 734 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: these days. You'd think I went to a smart school 735 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: that said Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars have come 736 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: to an agreement on a deal. Now, this was a 737 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 1: bigger deal back in the day prior to twenty eleven. Actually, 738 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,400 Speaker 1: so twenty ten, I think it was. Sam Bradford was 739 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: the last first overall pick to negotiate that deal without 740 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: the EBA slotting, if you will. But Trevor Lawrence still 741 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: gonna get paid four years thirty six point eight million 742 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: dollar deal with a twenty four million dollars signing bonus. 743 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: I believe that's entirely guaranteed if I remember correctly, first 744 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: round deal, so fifth round option. But there is some 745 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: difference in the language and such for Lawrence and how 746 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: his bonuses get paid out and all that kind of stuff, 747 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: But point being, Jacksonville Jaguars have number one overall pick 748 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: locked in now. They also have got a fine coming 749 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: for off season training activities that went awry. Three teams, 750 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: the Jags, the Cowboys in the forty nine ers violated 751 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 1: team I'm sorry, violated rules set fourth by the leaguet 752 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: Collective Barty Agreement. The NFL responded with fines for three 753 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: teams and their head coaches, the Jaguars and Cowboys and 754 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,399 Speaker 1: the Niners reach five for offseason workout violations. Jacksonville drew 755 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,839 Speaker 1: a fine of two hundred thousand. San Francisco and Dallas 756 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: for each fine one hundred thousand at the teams. That's 757 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 1: not a whole lot. However, New Jaguars head coach Urban 758 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: Meyer was docked one hundred thousand dollars for violations. Mike 759 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: McCarthy co coached Cowboys, Kyle Shanahan coach of the Niners. 760 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,439 Speaker 1: They each got fifty thousand dollars in fines. All three 761 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: teams were also at the four ft undisclosed amount of 762 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 1: OTA days in twenty twenty two. Now there's no telling 763 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:45,280 Speaker 1: what exactly they did was wrong, but they got docked. 764 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: I think The interesting one is urban Meyer coming from college. 765 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: Not to say that every college coach cheats or does 766 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: things without regard to following the rules. Urban Myers thought 767 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 1: to be that did some things that didn't always fit 768 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: maybe not fitting the rules, but there were some moral obligations, 769 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: I guess is maybe the best way of saying it. 770 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 1: In other words, there were times that he said, we're 771 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: gonna run a clean ship at University of Florida. We're 772 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: gonna do everything possible to run a clean ship. But 773 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,720 Speaker 1: then some of his best players were not good guys 774 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: off the field, and he turned a blind eye to 775 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: it often. So we'll see how that works in the NFL. 776 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: But carried a straight coach that had been fired at 777 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: Iowa that did not go over well, and now they 778 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 1: get fined here each one a big deal, Not really, 779 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: I guess, but you can start to see some of 780 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: the seedlings of hey, we're gonna do whatever possible to 781 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: win down in Jacksonville. Let's see if it pays off 782 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 1: for rbant Myron. See how long he can deal with losing, 783 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: because he can lose a lot at Ohio, State of 784 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 1: Florida either one, and when he did, it was not 785 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: good physically. It was not good. So we'll see how 786 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: he handles it. Because nobody's gone on the feed. Everybody 787 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: loses in the NFL at some point. It's how you 788 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: handle it and get better week after week after week. 789 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: We'll see how he can do that in the n 790 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: f L. Former forty nine Ers coach Terry Donna Hue 791 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: maybe more known for his time in UCLA, but did 792 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: coach in the the NFL forty nine Ers, passes away at 793 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 1: the age of seventy seven. He was a tremendous pack 794 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 1: tan at the time coach, and I remember when he 795 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: went to go do college football games on CBS. He 796 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 1: did a lot of SEC games. I thought he was 797 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,479 Speaker 1: very good, very good, and then he got into the NFL. 798 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,280 Speaker 1: I think it was after that he got into the NFL. 799 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 1: Coach in the forty nine ers, not as successful, but 800 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: dispense the time in the NFL. Terry Donna, who passes 801 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: away at the age of seventy seven. All right, that's 802 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: gonna do it for tonight's show. Appreciate you guys being 803 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: here as always, Rick, thanks to Mark for stopping by, 804 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 1: to Eddie for producing.
