Speaker 1: a day ahead of time. It's it's two weeks today.

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: So it's two weeks today, and I'm like, oh my gosh.

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: Last year was I mean, I was really excited because

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: it's all new and some people have been up there

19
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: to training camp. Mark had been up there Jade had

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: been up there, if you others have been up there,

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: and they were trying to tell us what it was

22
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: all about. I was like, I don't know, I don't know,

23
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll just see when I get up there.

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: And then once we got up there, I was like, oh, smokes,

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: this is beautiful. Of course, three and a half weeks later,

26
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: it was like, I want to get back home. But

27
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: I hit that point earlier than you. But I heard

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: that song, that West Virginia song, and I remember somebody

29
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: playing it on the bus arrived John Denver, and I

30
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: heard it like a month ago, and I just I

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: almost broke in no cold sweat, like no, no no, no, no,

32
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: I'm not ready. I'm not ready for West Virginia. Yeah, yeah,

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: it is. Uh, it was. It's well, it's only gonna

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: be a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks. We

35
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: will have plenty to talk about as a Virtainia's a

36
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: training camp, and we'll talk about training camp. In fact,

37
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: the last segment of the show, even up they the

38
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: ninety man roster is that's pretty much set right now, seemingly,

39
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: but tomorrow could change that. I'll explain why later in

40
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: the show up Jude Doherty on for something I think

41
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: you're actually gonna love that came out of our Interlab

42
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: podcast that you will hear where you can get your

43
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: podcast Itune, Stitcher, tune in, wherever you get your podcasts,

44
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: and you hear this one. It's a fun one. So

45
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: we'll have a snippet from that podcast that I think

46
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: you really enjoy and you want to get on Twitter

47
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: for that. But deep and I figured, you know what,

48
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: let's let's have some fun to start the show. I like,

49
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: I like some back and forth, and I always like

50
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: to know how people think. And I like the history

51
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: obviously of the Texans, and the history has grown from

52
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. Now it doesn't include a championship,

53
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: and hopefully it will sometime soon. But I got to think,

54
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: and I saw I saw Swingers was on the other day.

55
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: And when I think of Swingers, I think of NHL

56
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: ninety four. I think at NHL ninety four. Obviously, I'm

57
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: thinking about hockey, and I thought, you know, we do

58
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: a lot of different lists and talk about different things,

59
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, in hockey, they have this

60
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: thing called three stars. They always at the end of

61
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: a game, if you win, they bring out the three

62
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: stars of the game, and you know the first star,

63
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, three star, two star, one star guy whatever.

64
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, why not combine the

65
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: two in a way that we can talk about certain

66
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: things that have happened with this organization over the years.

67
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: And so I was like, all right, let's call this

68
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: three stars. I like it. And so what we're gonna

69
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: do is you have three that you're gonna pick from

70
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: the four categories and we'll go and I've got I've

71
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: got three, so we'll match and see how close we get.

72
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Our first category is give me your three stars for

73
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: the most impressive season by a Texans player in Texans history. Oh,

74
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: by a Texans player? You came up? Okay. I actually

75
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: was thinking because you sent me the topics most impressive

76
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: season Texans. Okay, I thought it was gonna be most

77
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: impressive seasons. Okay, give me your seasons like offensive. Okay,

78
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: so we can switch like that, because I was like,

79
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: I'll come up with something like that. All right, let's

80
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: switch it. Um. I would say number one, the two

81
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: thy twelve offense. Okay, that's the last season that I

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: watched as a fan, not in the press, box. So

83
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: I really got to enjoy that season. Four hundred and

84
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: sixteen points, most Enfranchise history, nineteen rushing touchdowns, twenty two

85
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, five kicks returns for a return for touchay sod.

86
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: That was a lot of five five holy smokes. Yeah,

87
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: so it was. And there were a lot of exciting,

88
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: high powered games. Matt Shop comes back from the from

89
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: the foot injury, the Denver game, I was one of

90
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: He was, he was, he was. He looked like a

91
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: completely renewed, rejuvenated player. Wow. The back to back overtime

92
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: games in November, ten quarters in five days. It was

93
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: a fun season to watch. Yeah, very much. Okay, next

94
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: number Next, I would say my second season with the team,

95
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: the twenty fourteen defense, just because we go from uh

96
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: two and fourteen right to nine and seven. Romeo Cornell

97
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: comes in and we had all these injuries at quarterback

98
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: and if you don't remember, twenty fourteen was Ryan Fitzpatrick,

99
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Mallett, case Keenum because sometimes the quarterback years start

100
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: to run together, especially with the Ryans. But that defense

101
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: played out of it's mind, right, thirty four turnovers. That's

102
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: the key franchise best And then JJ Watt the season

103
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: that he had that year made it you almost Usually

104
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: you can't wait till your offense gets on the field,

105
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: and a lot of fans will go to the bathroom

106
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: with the defenses on the field. But I felt like

107
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: that season was the reverse. Like the defenses on the field,

108
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: you're not going anywhere, right because JJ Watt had five tds,

109
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: although only three run defense, he said two on offense.

110
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: He had six takeaways, twenty and a half sacks, the safety,

111
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: fifty quarterback hits, twenty nine TFLs, and I remember the

112
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: year before, he had this twenty twenty twenty thing that

113
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: he was trying to and he didn't reach it. And

114
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: then he quietly did it in twenty fourteen. Yeah, maybe

115
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: not so quietly, but he didn't set any goals for himself.

116
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: After signing the blue passive contract, after signing one of

117
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: the biggest contracts for defensive player, not one person said

118
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: anything about that contract. Nobody said too much money, Nobody

119
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: said why didn't we do it? No, I want all right,

120
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: your third star, all right, third star. The twenty sixteen defense,

121
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: first in the NFL for the first time in franchise history,

122
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: gave up a league low of just three hundred one

123
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: point three total knit yards per game. That was a

124
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: fun season to watch. We had a little bit of

125
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Jadevian Clowney, a little bit of JJ Watt, a lot

126
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: of Whitney merciless Um and and I'm biased obviously towards

127
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: the seasons where I was actually covering the team, because

128
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: then you you know the ins and outs and and

129
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: and all the stats throughout the year. So that's my

130
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: third I would say, I would say twenty eleven defense.

131
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that that would that That's definitely my three

132
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: stars would be twenty eleven defense turn around. The twenty

133
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: sixteen defense would definitely be there. And the twenty ten offense,

134
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: twenty ten offense actually in two thousand and nine and

135
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: twenty ten, those numbers people. People may may or may

136
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: not remember the individual games just because the win loss

137
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: record at the end wasn't what you wanted to get

138
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: to that, but you know what, those were some fun

139
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: games to watch put up heartbreaking losses though in twenty ten. Yeah,

140
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: we'll get to them in a second. Okay, Now, if

141
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: we did it for individuals, these are the ones I

142
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: can go ahead, here are the ones for that came

143
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: up with for individuals twenty ten, Arian Foster twenty fifteen

144
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: Hopkins one hundred eleven catches, fifteen hundred yards, eleven touchdowns.

145
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: I chose that. Ever last year twenty fourteen Watt, which

146
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: you just mentioned was out of this world in two

147
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, Andre Johnson, and not twenty seventeen Deshaun Watson.

148
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: You need, Oh, he was on my list, he was, yeah,

149
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: he was, Yeah, he was my fifth guy. Okay, so

150
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: we're doing three stars. I would have had to bum

151
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: but only for sample. Yeah, those would be the ones.

152
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, number category, number two, best

153
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: rookie performance, your three stars go all right, I'm gonna

154
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: go Deshaun Watson twenty seventeen. Still small sample size, but

155
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: I think that just that few game stretch got everyone

156
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: so excited for DeShawn Watson. The whole country is excited

157
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson. So, I mean, in such a concentrated

158
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: amount of time, and starting on a short week week

159
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: too against Cincinnati, I mean, he didn't have any time

160
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: to just ease into his role as a starter. I

161
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: mean he was in it, and then you know, he delivered.

162
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: He delivered week after week. Uh. Numbered two best Ricky

163
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: performance JJ Watt twenty eleven. Yeah, I have a funny story.

164
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: I have a funny story because in twenty eleven, I

165
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: remember somehow one of my my friends, uh who was

166
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: working for the team at the time, got a pass

167
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: to the sideline before the game. He wasn't using it,

168
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: so he said, why don't you take you and and

169
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: I took my oldest son down on the sideline before

170
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: the game. I've never been on the sideline of a

171
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: Texans game before, and everybody was clamoring around for autographs.

172
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: Mario Williams comes out, and I mean there was huge

173
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: crowd of people around him, huge crowd of people. You

174
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: couldn't even see him. And you know, my son he

175
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: was like, Mom, that's that's like a lot of people.

176
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: And we look over and I said, hey, that's Ah,

177
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: that's the rookie that we drafted in the first round.

178
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: That that JJ Watt from Wisconsin. No one was talking

179
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: to him. He was talking to this lovely couple who

180
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: I found out later were his neighbors wherever where he

181
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: lived at the time, and so he just invited them

182
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: to the game and they were just talking to him.

183
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: And so my son went up to him and said, um,

184
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: mister wat, can I have your autograph? And he autographed.

185
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: He was wearing a baseball hat and so we still

186
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: have that hat to this day from JJ. I have

187
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: not mentioned it to Jay. That's funny. That's funny. He's like,

188
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: I've signed a Brazilian autographs now, so I don't remember

189
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: that one from twenty eleven together, all right, Third star,

190
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: A third star, Best rookie performance DeAndre Hopkins twenty thirteen

191
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: U fifty two receptions, eight hundred four yards, second among

192
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: all rookies that played for the Texans. But I think

193
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: that game winning touchdown in overtime in Week two was

194
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: just outstanding. Before it was also the it was also

195
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: the last win of the year that we got to

196
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: enjoy it. But four things, but we did enjoy it. Oh,

197
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: that was a fun game. The other one, oh, I

198
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: have another one actually, all right, because it's kind of

199
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: like my fourth place Andre Johnson two thousand and three, Okay,

200
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: I I had those. I had two others that I

201
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: would put on there. Damiko Ryans. Oh. Yeah. In two

202
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: thousand and six, with had an interception, he had three

203
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: and a half sacks, had one hundred and twenty five

204
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: total tackles for rookie. I mean he was, he was outstanding.

205
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: In fact, he had seven pass breakups as well. He

206
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: did not make the Pro Bowl that year, but he

207
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: ended up making the Pro Bowl the very next year.

208
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: The other one, I can guess what the next one

209
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: is going to be. Then Dante Robinson non g six

210
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: interceptions in his rookie year, force three fumbles, had seventy

211
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: three tackles. He never got to that level again, like

212
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: he was fantastic that particular year and then after that

213
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: didn't really reach that level. But six interceptions and three

214
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: forced fumbles in that first year in two thousand and four,

215
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: those would be the other two that I would definitely

216
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: throw in that mix. Brian Cushing in there as well,

217
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: that he could be an honorable mention for that. That's one.

218
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: Cush was excellent in two thousand and nine. Two thousand

219
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: and nine, Wow, four interceptions, four sacks, eighty six tackles,

220
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: made the Probel Defensive Rookie of the Year. Well, it

221
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: would be tough, It mean, it would be tough. I

222
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: had Watson, I had my five I came up with

223
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: because you're gonna be the one I didn't Watson seventeen

224
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: to me going on six oh four Robinson Watt and

225
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: then Andrea Johnson. All right, nice category three stars for

226
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: best win. Go. Best win had to be the first

227
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: win in India. December twentieth, twenty fifteen. I was so

228
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: happy for one mister Mark VanderMeer, who is just so

229
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: nervous every time we go to Indianapolis. And for those

230
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: of you that don't know, I'm from Indianapolis. I was

231
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: born and raised in Indianapolis, and every time we go

232
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: to Indie for the game and for the combine, Mark

233
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: says he hates that city like poison, which makes me

234
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: very sad. No one should have that much hatred towards

235
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: the city. I know you don't like the team, but

236
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: he just hated the entire city because of it. And

237
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: I said, you know, take the Colts out of it.

238
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: It's it's it's actually a nice place to live. So

239
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: I was very happy when the Texans won that game.

240
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: And it just felt so historic and so special because

241
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: every year we built up to that game and something

242
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: goes awry, and that was the year that it didn't.

243
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: So Jalen Strong had the big touchdown from Brandon Weedon.

244
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: That was that's got to be number one. The next

245
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: one Deshaun Watson's first win twenty seventeen versus Cincinnati, the

246
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night game or the Tuxedo. I will never forget

247
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: that game. I was so nervous. I don't think I've

248
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: ever been so nervous for a player in my life

249
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: like I was for Deshaun Watson because of all the

250
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: melding storylines. Short week right, no tight ends, your O

251
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: line is totally it's totally rearranged. You've got no Duwyne

252
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: Bryan just trying to figure things out. And the week

253
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: before Tom Savage was just drilled in that first Weekindst Jacksonville.

254
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: So then you think, here comes to Shaun Watson's a

255
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: rookie who doesn't have time to read the defense like

256
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: and he got nailed. If he didn't got nailed once totally,

257
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: and I just jacked out of my GINO. Atkins follows

258
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: it up with the two later, Yeah, two plays later,

259
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: the play of the game. That's a good one. That's great.

260
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: That was I think that was one of my favorite.

261
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: I think all the win, all the times I've been

262
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, I've had a great time. Yeah, that's true.

263
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: Hopefully we keep it that way, all right. Third win, oh,

264
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: third win on that first star. Any win that the

265
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: Texans have had against Cincinnati to clinch the playoffs twenty sixteen,

266
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: Christmas Day twenty eleven in Cincinnati, with t J. Yates

267
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: and his family way up in the nosebleeds watching, I

268
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: think all of those, any of those, I would think

269
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: for the the the people that I've been around since

270
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: the other two, they might say the Cowboys game, but

271
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: I had those. I had those. The only other one

272
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: that I had on here that you didn't mention. I

273
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: put the twenty swoys win over Indy at home, where

274
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: he came back in the last couple of minutes and

275
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: then won that thing in overtime. Lamar Miller had a

276
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: touchdown exact through everybody, and the touchdown the percentage the

277
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: next day, I remember seeing this infographic. The percentage of

278
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: the Texans had to win was like point zero point something,

279
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: and they came back in one. All right, last one

280
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: we got about a minute. So we're gonna blaze through

281
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: these because they don't want to spend too much time

282
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: on okay, well, punch gut punch losses. But I categorize

283
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: this as the most gut punchiest of gut punch losses.

284
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: Your three stars go all right, Number one, it's gotta

285
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: be Casey playoff game in twenty fifteen. Oh god, that's

286
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: so bad. Oh, I didn't think about that. Yeah, that

287
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: was awful any time on that Casey. Also Week five

288
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: game in twenty seventeen. Yeah, or first drive of the

289
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: game and then it was all downhill out. Oh man,

290
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: I didn't think about it. Yeah, sorry about that up

291
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta Miami. Either one from twenty fifteen horrible or it

292
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: took us a while to recover from either of those,

293
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: and they happened within a month of each other. And

294
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: then and then I'm gonna put New England twenty seventeen

295
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: because we were up the entire game, and I just

296
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: felt like, had had the Texans just pulled it out,

297
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: how that could have changed the season. Here's here are

298
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: the ones that I came up with. Um, I have

299
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: that one, the twenty seventeen Patriots game. I also have

300
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen losing to Shaw Watson. I have that, Yeah,

301
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: twenty ten Jaguars the Hill Mary, that the Hill Mary

302
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: that wasn't supposed to be caught Rosencofter game. Here's one

303
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: Mark could say, Rosencofter, everybody in this building has got

304
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: a story that's been here, and this was your first year.

305
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: In twenty thirteen, the Coult Sunday Night game where Gary

306
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Cooper back has a stroke on the sideline. They've got

307
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: the league going in a halftime, they blow the league

308
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: coming out a halftime. It taste ken about the three touchdown.

309
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: It was just it was it was just rutal. It

310
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: was just that whole season was brutal, though Johnny, I

311
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: can't I don't think I could rank out brutal that

312
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: season that goes. We could have just said two thirty thirteen,

313
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: do you appreciate, Thank you very much, Thanks Johnny. Coming

314
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: up next, Drew Doherty joins me talk about games. I'll

315
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: explain next right here in Texas All Access. We'll go

316
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: back to Texas All Access from the Hunday Texans Radio studio.

317
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: John Harris here a man, Drew Doherty there. Uh, it's

318
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: we're in the sweet spot of summer. I wrote about

319
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: that as well earlier this week because I saw one

320
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: of those athlon sports magazines in a Walgreens down on

321
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: Laport and I looked up and I saw Deshaun Watson

322
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: on the cover and it just made me smile. Made

323
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: you feel good, h maybe feel really good. You know.

324
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: It's like seeing Dave Campbell's football this time year and

325
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: all the other stuff. But he was on the cover.

326
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: I wrote a little bit about it because that means football.

327
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: We'll be here soon. And if we didn't hear him,

328
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: that was me snapping my fingers. Wait do it like this?

329
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't know. You know. Another thing that

330
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: happens in the summertime and something that I've been um

331
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: seeing firsthand with my five year old twins and my

332
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: three year old son, not so much my six week

333
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: old baby girl, but games. They're starting to get into games.

334
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: And when I say games, it's fun. They have discovered

335
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: hide and go seek, and they might be the worst

336
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: hide and go seekers I've ever seen. It gets you

337
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: to play. I haven't had to pay them yet or

338
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: got to play with him yet. And then they also

339
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: they played Battle, the card game, and they're good at that.

340
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm impressed with that. That's pretty fun to see. That's

341
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: pretty that's pretty awesome. My kids got into hiding, hide

342
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: and seek early, um when well, actually they were old

343
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: than yours. They were probably know sixty seven, I don't know,

344
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: probably a little bit earlier than that. And I would

345
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: find the craziest places to hide, and there were there

346
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: were times where I would be there for twenty minutes. Yeah,

347
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, y'all gotta find me, man, Like I'd

348
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: be up in an attic in North Carolina when we

349
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: were living at the time. I'd be like, I'm sweat

350
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: and bullets like I'm making noises like ye having them

351
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: dry and find me, because whenever I would pop out,

352
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: they did not They did not like that and didn't

353
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: like that. See minorum. The reason I said mine are

354
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: not very good because they'll find their hiding spot hiding

355
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: spot and then just start laughing uncontrollably, very loudly. So

356
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: there's it's like they can't see the other person, so

357
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: they think they're hidden. But yeah, well, it's interesting you

358
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: bring up games because I saw this earlier drew about

359
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: about one of the favorite video games of many, many people,

360
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: and that's Madden, which is by the speaking of podcasts,

361
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: the people that do thirty for thirty kind of branched

362
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: off and did thirty for thirty podcasts, and you're like,

363
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: oh wait a second, how how would they do a

364
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: podcasting a podcast? Well, the thing about it is a

365
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 1: lot of times I will listen to thirty for thirties

366
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: in my in my car, like driving places or videos

367
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: I have the video playing but obviously can't watch them

368
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: driving and I'll just listen. And so I thought it

369
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: was a brilliant idea. Well, they did one on the

370
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: game on the Maden on the Madden Game talking about

371
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: John Madden's involvement, and he was interviewed for the podcast

372
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: and it was fascinating. It was really interesting and one

373
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: of the things that that you know when you watch

374
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: a game now, you when you're watching the game, if

375
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: you're not if you're at the game, obviously you're watching

376
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: it there, but a lot of people, even if they're

377
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: at the game, they'll go back and watch the game

378
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: and you'll hear the sounds that you could hear now

379
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: are in large part a result of Madden. The the

380
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: guys that took over, the guys that took over at

381
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: Fox when they took over from CBS, because the NFC

382
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: used to be with CBS, right, so when they took

383
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: over at Fox, the lead football guru at Fox listened

384
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: to the Madden game and the one thing that he

385
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: that stood out was the sounds you could hear. So

386
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: he started putting mics down on the field. And that

387
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: really now because all the mics that are all over

388
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: the place, that was in large part because of Madden,

389
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: because Madden put that in your game. The quarterbacks hut

390
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: hut hut, you could hear them talking, all that kind

391
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: of stuff, and so Madden was a was a direct

392
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: result of that. Well, this is a pretty special day

393
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: because the Madden twenty nineteen ratings are out. I thought

394
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: I saw something about this. Okay, some of them were out,

395
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: some of them have been changed because I think our

396
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: buddy Sean Pendergast wrote about it. There's clear clearly some

397
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: guys who were watching football ratings. Well, that's that's one

398
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: that we'll get through here in a seconds. Have they

399
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: been rectified or they have? They have been rectified a

400
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: little bit. In fact. The one that we're talking about

401
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: is Deshaw Watson. Now I still don't think I still

402
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: don't think that eighty two is high enough, but he

403
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: was at a seventy eight a couple of weeks ago,

404
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: and he has been bumped up to uh An eighty

405
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: two at this point, but the tops on the list

406
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: J J. Watt and ninety eight. He is not in

407
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: the ninety nine club. There are seven players I believe

408
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: in the ninety nine club and ninety nine. J. J.

409
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: Watt has not has been part of that club. He

410
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: is not at this point. They have given him an

411
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: overall ninety eight. Second on the list is DeAndre Hopkins

412
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: within ninety four. I don't play yeah, I think that's

413
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: I think that this number. Now they've got different rankings awareness, speed, acceleration, agility,

414
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: and str strength. He's damn strong enough to me. I

415
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: don't think he's sixty six. He's a sixty six in strength,

416
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: which is wild. Tyron Matthew at ninety three to win

417
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: Clowney and ninety one, that's another one that's chanted because

418
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: that was much lower. That was much lower those ratings

419
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: that we saw. So he has given a he is

420
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: a ninety one. So those are your top four and

421
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: a fifth player, unfortunately, is one that I don't believe

422
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: that we're going to see in twenty eighteen, and that's

423
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: Andrea How He had eighty seven, Jjo with eighty five,

424
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: Mar Miller eighty five, and then Shan Watson with an

425
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: eighty two. I do think that Whitney Mercil says an

426
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: eighty one is a joke. Yeah, that's that's ridiculous. But

427
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: he's at an eighty one. Others Zach cutting him seventy nine.

428
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: Barja mckinneis seventy eight, so Zach cutting him a step

429
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: ahead in the Mattie ratings. Now, the cool thing about

430
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: it now is that these ratings can change as the

431
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: season goes on, which is good because Deshan will go

432
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: from eighty two all the way to uh, I don't know,

433
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: a ninety seven at some point, which would be kind

434
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: of nice. Now. That got me thinking when these ratings

435
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: came out and and you talking about games, we'll st

436
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: let's do a top ten ranking of the best game. Okay,

437
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: games can be hide and seek you played with your kids. Yeah,

438
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking more along the lines of games that

439
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: you played all the way up through you being you know,

440
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: a young adult, maybe before you got married or before

441
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: you had kids. Maybe, So anything kind of from childhood

442
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: going forward, things that you did. Your top ten games.

443
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: It can be anything. It's uh, I'm not gonna go

444
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: in order of how because I was if you're if

445
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 1: you're putting in, I'm gonna go like more chronologically roughly,

446
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: I'll start out with, Man, I love nothing more growing

447
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: up until about six seventh grade than not necessarily whiffleball,

448
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: but just backyard baseball with like a tennis ball or

449
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: a plastic ball, a plastic bat um. The first base

450
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: was one of the patio chairs, second base was a

451
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: pine tree, third base was part of the fence, and

452
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 1: right in front of the bird bath was home And

453
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: if you hit a home run to dead center field,

454
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 1: it would go over the Autry's fence top of their

455
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: garage roof. Yes, if you had to left, you're going

456
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: into the Atoms yard, and if you hit on the right,

457
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: you're going up on our house, and then you've got

458
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: all sorts of caroms and stuff coming down. So it

459
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: was good times. But I love you made it really

460
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: interesting when you got a whiffle bat so like the

461
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: real thin bata and then a whiffle golf ball, oh

462
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: real small. Yeah, that was good stuff. But you if

463
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: you got a hold of it, man, you were launching it.

464
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: Hold onto those thoughts, because I'm a second those thoughts

465
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: here in a little bit. Yeah, But I love that.

466
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: That was my That's my first love. I think, all right,

00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: go yours. I also ranked nine one through ten. I

468
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: also liked Hide and Seek. We lived on a street

469
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: backed up to Our street was not a cul de sac,

470
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: but we lived on the street that backed up to

00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: a cul de sack, and we play in the cul

472
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: de sac with all the other kids. Hide and Seek

473
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: was awesome. That was a good one. Um. Also liked

474
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: Connect four. That's an inside game, you know, if it's rainy, Yeah,

475
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: of course. Um. And then and at school, they stopped

476
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: selling pencils at the little Uh Pencil school supply store

477
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: in our school at Pine Shadows Elementary because we were

478
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: playing too much. Pencil breaks was a good school bus.

479
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: That was a good time. We like that. That made it.

480
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: And then okay, we gotta gotta kind of segue into

481
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: video games and slash computer games alright. Got a computer

482
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty seven, first family home computer. Didn't get

483
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 1: a Nintendo till I think sixth grade, like nineteen eighty nine.

484
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: Is but computer two computer games above all else. And

485
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: I loved Doctor Jay versus Larry Bird. It was spacebark

486
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: could make you spin or shoot and then you just

487
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: use the cursor and you played on a little green screen,

488
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: h Hunt, and it was on a it was a

489
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: half court. It was a half court game. That was

490
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: I love that game. Yeah, I love that was one

491
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: of the first. That was one of the first games

492
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: I had for the Apple two. E okay, see I

493
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: was we were we had app doss. Yeah, that was

494
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: when they first came out with with games for the computer.

495
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: And you had that green screen. Yeah, yeah, yeah and

496
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: all and it was like she mind was I think

497
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: orange orange and black? Yeah, but same same was just

498
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: green instead of orange. And it was fantastic. This is

499
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: a great one. And then another one, another favorite of mine,

500
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: and I recently had it up as the background video

501
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: playing on a deer drew and I think you would

502
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: have eaten this thing alive and you would have loved it.

503
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: And I'm stunned because you and I have talked about this,

504
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: you didn't know about it. NFL Challenge made by Xor,

505
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: came out in nineteen eighty five. But basically, you were

506
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: the coach and you could call a play and you

507
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: had about one hundred place to choose from short yardage, intermediate,

508
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: deep goal line, all sorts of stuff. And then it

509
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: was literally xs and os and you'd call this play

510
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: but you could choose an NFL team, but it had

511
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: it was like you basically had the eighty five Bears

512
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: you can go against like the eighty five Rams. It

513
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: was only from that year, but I love that game.

514
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: I played that thing all the time. And um so

515
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: then after that eighty nine we get the Nintendo the

516
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: two that stood out abou or the three that stood

517
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: out of all else, Tech Mobile, Mike Tyson's punch out

518
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: in this game called Baseball Stars, No, you know what.

519
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: That was the first game you could actually keep a

520
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: team and it would remember your team and you could

521
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 1: build it up and make it better throughout the year

522
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: than play a season. In my honorable mention, I had

523
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: RBI Baseball. See I didn't have I didn't have a Nintendo. Yeah,

524
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: because you're like in high school and that I was. Yeah,

525
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: I was like in high school. But my my buddy

526
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: had a My buddy had a Nintendo and we we

527
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: played various games over there. But we but we were

528
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: not stay inside and play video game guys. That was

529
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: that was not us. And so a lot of the

530
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: Nintendo games didn't take except for a few of the

531
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: sports ones, yeah, and RBI Baseball was one of them.

532
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: You had the little fat, squatty players with the bat.

533
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: I mean we we played that all the time. And

534
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: I remember we went on a Babe Ruth baseball tournament.

535
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: We had won the texts, we had won the state

536
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: the Texas title. We then went to Arkansas for a

537
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: Southwest Regional and instead of staying in hotels, they put

538
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: up with foster families. And the first foster family we

539
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: stayed with had a Nintendo and they had one game

540
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: that RBI Baseball, and we played it all the time. Yeah.

541
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: It was also played it every day all day, every day. Fantastic.

542
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: You would have loved Baseball Stars it was. It was

543
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: not it was not as um it was just not

544
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: as well known it came after that. Yeah, but you

545
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: literally could create your own team and then you could

546
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: build them up and you could you could uh like

547
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: increase their strength on bases or strength increased their batting

548
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: or their pigeon. It was so much fun. And then

549
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: the maneuverability was really good too, Like as far as

550
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: it was, it was life more lifelike than the other ones.

551
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, and tech Mobile, well see that's

552
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: the other one. Any one of you who has anyone,

553
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: you give me the those bears. We didn't play that.

554
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: We didn't play that much Techno Bowl because we weren't

555
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: playing much Nintendo. Techno Bowl was kind of we're kind

556
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: of at the back back into that one, and it

557
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: was fun. I used to watch my friends play it,

558
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: but I didn't really kind of get into it until

559
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: my son was born, and then I didn't really play

560
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: it much. But if I remember correctly, when he was young,

561
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: you could get this device that you could plug into

562
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: your computer. Yeah, you could play Techno Bowl. And so

563
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: I would show him technic and he just had no

564
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: interest in it. My son has no sports interest at all.

565
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: It was totally fine, but he just has no sports interest.

566
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: But you know, he will he will play, you know,

567
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: whatever computer game there is, but he just knows no

568
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: sports like sports, says nothing at all whatsoever he wants

569
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: to do with all right, And I never got deep on.

570
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: I never never beat Mike Tyson. So yeah, I like

571
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: watching it, but I was not I was not very

572
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: good at it. All right, Pretty well, now I went

573
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: in order of mine, and I know I'm gonna leave

574
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: something out, and in fact, I feel bad for putting

575
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: us at number ten. In fact, I didn't think about this,

576
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: but this was one that we played forever. And if

577
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: my buddies are listening to this, they'll know that that

578
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: me putting this at ten is probably a bad thing.

579
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: I got to have an honorable mention before he says

580
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: of wall A Wall Balls fantastic. I was pretty going

581
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: to good at wallball. So go ahead, micro League Baseball. Now,

582
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm forty six years old, and I know there are

583
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: a lot of you that if you're of my demographic,

584
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: and I know there are at least two people listening

585
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: right now, going oh man, micro League was the best.

586
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. Micro League Baseball was the best. Now,

587
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: if you want to hear the rest of my top games,

588
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,160

00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,520

590
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: give you a little bit of what I had to say.

591
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: But I think you'll love it if you go to

592
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: in the Lab and then you can hits up at

593

594
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: what did we miss? What did you guys come up with?

595
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: We've talked about this. I used to go on my

596
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: Buddies radio show. You know in Plans Aeroline. He's one

597
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: of the guys I'm talking about. And when Layaps was

598
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: over Sports Radio six ten and one day, we just

599
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: got on this topic many many, many years ago. We

600
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: talked about a lot of the games that that I'll

601
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: bring up on the in the Lab podcast. You definitely

602
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: want to hear it. But we got responses from people

603
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: that talked about playing bicycle what they call it. They

604
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: played bicycle football where they would try and hit each

605
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: other with bikes. It's like, oh my gosh, or they

606
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: take but I don't know how they would do it,

607
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: but it was. We were dumbfounded when we heard some

608
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: of the things that people ended up doing with Eric.

609
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: Growing up, we just played a lot of sports games.

610
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: We weren't looking to be violent with one another for

611
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: the most part, so we're kind of up with some

612
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: sort of basketball, football, golf, baseball, some sort of game

613
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: that involved those. Some of the games we heard from people,

614
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, So that's that was fun, There's no

615
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: doubt about it. But if you want to hear the

616
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: rest of what I had to say on my top games,

617
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: including one of my favorite card games that you need

618
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: three other people to play. But it's not Hearts. But

619
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: I'll just leave it at that. You go listen to

620
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: the Lap in the Lab podcast. Go check that out,

621
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: all right. I mentioned earlier in the show Texas ninety

622
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: man roster for the Greenbrier pretty much set. Could that

623
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: change tomorrow? I'll talk about that next right here on

624
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: Texas All Access. What's up? Everybody? A final segment right

625
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: here on Texans All Access from the Hunday Texans Radio Studio.

626
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris. Glad to be with you

627
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: two weeks away. I know I am two weeks away

628
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: from leaving for the Greenbrier. The team I will leave

629
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: the very next day, on Wednesday, and then we'll be

630
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: there for a couple of weeks. Out of Kansas City,

631
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: take on the Chiefs in the first preseason game. It's

632
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: coming oh so close. We're less than a month away,

633
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: less than a month away from the first preseason game

634
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: at Kansas City on that Thursday night. Looking forward to

635
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: just getting to that point. Once you get in the

636
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: preseason games, then things I don't know if they fly by,

637
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: but they ultimately go pretty quickly because you play that

638
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: game on the ninth, and then you've got the two

639
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: weekend games and that Thursday night game against the Cowboys,

640
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: and then it's it's here. The season is around the corner.

641
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: Here's the way that I tell time, so to speak.

642
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: When the NFL teams start getting to camp, and obviously

643
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: the Texans on the twenty fifth. Now the rookies and

644
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: the Vets report at the same time. There are certain

645
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: places where the rookies and the Vets report at different times,

646
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: and the teams can report two weeks before their first

647
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: preseason game. Now, the first preseason game Ravens and Bears

648
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame Game, So the Ravens can

649
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: report ward on the eighteenth. I think the rookies are

650
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: reporting on the eleventh tomorrow. Yes, the rookies are reporting

651
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: for the Ravens tomorrow. That's crazy to think about. So

652
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: getting that Hall of Fame game, yes, it's a fifth

653
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: preseason game, another opportunity to evaluate those players. But they

654
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: also are able to get those players in house for

655
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: a little bit longer time. So I'm sure there are

656
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: some rules that go with that. How many off days

657
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: they've got to have, all that kind of stuff. But

658
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: the one that I've never really gotten, and I've got

659
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: to ask the powers that be why in certain places

660
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: can rookies show up earlier than the vets as opposed

661
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: to like here, rookies and vets show at the same time.

662
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: They all check in on the twenty fifth, and then

663
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: everybody goes to the green bar. So I'm sure there's

664
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: a rule there. But either way, the immultiple Ravens go

665
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: to camp tomorrow. Then you got SEC Media Days coming up.

666
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: I know that's college, but that's also high kind of

667
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: mark time. SEC Media Days happening very soon, and that's

668
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: that's when it's like, okay, now, now we're ready to roll.

669
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: Now this thing is up and going and everybody's excited

670
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: and it's it's time to rock. So uh, that's that's

671
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,959
Speaker 1: when it starts to really happen, and we're right in

672
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: the thick of that now. It had been a quiet

673
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: offseason until today when some Instagram pictures in text came

674
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: forth as it pertained to Bill's all pro running back

675
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy. Now, if you haven't been following it on

676
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: Instagram or on Twitter or your social media vice of choice,

677
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: Lashawn is accused of a number of different things through

678
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: Instagram by a friend of the woman that he is

679
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: either dating or engaged to. It is a messy story.

680
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: It is sort of it's what is accused. What Leshaun

681
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: McQuay is accused of, is on the same path as

682
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Michael et cetera. There's so many

683
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: different things that I don't really want to get into

684
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: it at that point, but just know this, the Shan

685
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: McCoy will let it play out because the Ruben Foster

686
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: situation looked dicey for the forty nine ers and for

687
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: Ruben Foster, and then when the case came up, the

688
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: accuser said, yeah, I made everything up. I was mad

689
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: he was leaving me. I made everything up. So we'll

690
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: pump the brakes a little bit. But I would imagine

691
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: the next couple of days more news will come out,

692
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: So until then we'll we'll hesitate to comment. I wasitate

693
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: to comment on it in full, but I will say this,

694
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: if the Shan McCoy does not play for the Bills

695
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: this year, they'll be lucky to score a couple of

696
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns a game. They've got no offense, and it could

697
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: be turned over to Josh Allen at some point. It

698
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: could be ugly low Sean McCoy. That's on the field.

699
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: Off the field, that's that is a much bigger mots

700
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: of ball for somebody else to have to chew on

701
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: and swallow. And I'm I'm not really willing or wanting

702
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: to do that now as a teas going into this

703
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: segment tomorrow is a It's a pretty interesting day. It

704
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: is the twenty eighteen NFL Draft Supplemental Draft. Now what

705
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: that means is this, everybody knows about the draft that

706
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: happens in April or May. If you've followed Texans, you

707
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: follow the NFL, we all know about the draft. It's become,

708
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: I would imagine the second biggest event. It's the biggest

709
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: non playing event of the year. But it's almost become

710
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl number one, Draft number two. The supplemental Draft

711
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: is one that flies well under the radar and how

712
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: and for good reason. The last player that's been selected

713
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: in the supplemental Draft was Isaiah Battle in the twenty

714
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: fifteen draft by the former Saint Louis Rams now LA Rams.

715
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: The supplemental Draft is there for players that were projected

716
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: to go back to their schools, but something has happened.

717
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: They got kicked off the team. They've had an eligibility problem,

718
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 1: something has gone awry, and now they have no option

719
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,479
Speaker 1: other than to apply to the NFL and say, look,

720
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: I was gonna go back to my school, but they're

721
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: not allowing me to. Hey can I can? I can

722
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: I be placing the supplemental Draft. Now, typically that is

723
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: not a big number of players. It's not a large

724
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: number of players. And even if it is even being

725
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: a small number, very rarely then you might have eight

726
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: to ten. Sometimes you might have five to seven. It

727
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: all depends, but very rarely do you have a big name.

728
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: Now Chris Carter Hall of Fame wide receiver, Chris Carter

729
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 1: was a guy that came out of the supplemental draft.

730
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: Brian Bosworth, now he kind of gained the system to

731
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: get into the supplemental draft, but he was a supplemental

732
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: draft pick, as was Bernie Kosar. Now, they were all

733
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: under rules back in the eighties that were a little

734
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: bit different, and there weren't a lot of underclassmen that

735
00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: were declaring at that point. The NFL. NOWFL draft now

736
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: you have hundreds of players, I think well over a

737
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: hundred players that declared early for the NFL draft. Well,

738
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: three players in particular had decided they were going back

739
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: to school. Cornerback Sam Beale from Western Michigan, cornerback a

740
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: Donnas Alexander Virginia Tech, and safety Brandon Bryant of Mississippi State.

741
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: Now all three have had have had well, I should

742
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: say a Donnas, Alexander, and Sam Bille had academic situations

743
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: and they were going to be ineligible for the twenty

744
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: eighteen season, and so at that point they applied to

745
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. NFL said, yep, you come into the supplemental draft.

746
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: Now Alexander has had a couple of other off the

747
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: field issues. He had a marijuana related incident as a freshman.

748
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: He was suspended an early part of twenty eighteen as well.

749
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: But academics are really what got him kind of nabbed him,

750
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: if you will, And for that reason he was not

751
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: allowed to come back for the twenty eighteen season. He's

752
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: gonna be an eligible for the twenty eighteen season. Those

753
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: two corners, and there in lies the rub those two corners.

754
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: If there's a position even after OTAs where I would

755
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: say the Sexans could still use not only players, but depth.

756
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: It would be at an outside corner position, especially if

757
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Colvin plays more inside than outside. Let's say Colvin

758
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: does play more inside, Well, then you're looking at Kevin Johnson,

759
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph, and then after that you're looking at guys

760
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: like de Virgin, Josh Thornton. You're guys that spent time

761
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: in the practice squad last year. Kareem Jackson moving to safety.

762
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: I think Kareem's days outside are over. I think Kareem

763
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: stays at safety, or he drops down into the box,

764
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: plays a slot, that's it. I don't think Kareem goes

765
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: back outside. So now you're talking about two guys in

766
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: Bale and Alexander bal six one about one eighty five

767
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: looks kind of thin on tape. And I started watching

768
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: for twenty nineteen back during twenty eighteen NFL Draft. I

769
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: do that each year. There's some players that I try

770
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: and get ahead on a little bit, and Sam was

771
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: one of them, corner from out of Western Michigan. Now

772
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: Western Michigan had a couple of corners, one that was

773
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: just recently draft. These a little bit smaller. So when

774
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: I flipped on the tape and I was like, WHOA,

775
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: who's that guy? Who's the other guy, Sam Beale, ran

776
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: very well at his pro day at four four seven,

777
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: really good athlete, thirty seven inch vertical, ten six broad jump.

778
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: I think he's got an opportunity to be drafted in

779
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: either second or third round supplemental draft. Now, how does

780
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 1: it work in the supplemental draft? And this is where

781
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: the Texans end up. You kind of you kind of

782
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: take two things and put them together and you go, well,

783
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: maybe the Texans have two second round picks and these

784
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: guys are corners, and Brandon Bryant's his safety, who's a

785
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: really good athlete. We talked about the secondary. Could the

786
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: secondary use a boost? Well, this might be one way

787
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: where the secondary gets a boost. Now, suplemental draft works

788
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: is you put in a claim and say, for Donnas Alexander,

789
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna put in a fifth round supplemental draft claim.

790
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: And so what happens is everybody submits them and then

791
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: the NFL looks at and goes, all right, we had

792
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: no first round claims, we had no second round It's

793
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: almost like it's almost like waivers. But then you get

794
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: to a third round and it goes by the draft order.

795
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: So if there's anything it's gonna help the Texans out,

796
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: it's that they have the fourth pick in the draft.

797
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: They had the fourth pick obviously because of being four

798
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 1: and twelve, so they're gonna be ahead of some teams

799
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: that might have some interest in a guy like Sambiale

800
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: or a guy like a Donnas Alexander. They will then

801
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: have to give up the twenty nineteen equivalent of that

802
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: draft pick. So let's say everybody passes the first round

803
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: on these guys, but in the second round there's some

804
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: teams have some interest in them. The Texans are like, boy,

805
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: we probably should put it in the second round claim

806
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: for him because there'll be some others after us that

807
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: might have some interest. So the Texans do that and

808
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: they essentially draft him in the second round. They'll have

809
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: to give up one of those twenty nineteen second round

810
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: there they're twenty nineteen second round pick, but they would

811
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 1: get sam bial if a twenty eighteen season. So it's

812
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: sort of like putting a player on a payment plan

813
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: in some sense, like we're gonna get that guy, but

814
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: you don't really pay the price. If you will, the

815
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: cost really doesn't hit you to the following year. So

816
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: with two second round picks, I got like Sam Bill.

817
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: The thought is he would have been and after watching him,

818
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: I thought he was probably a second or the round

819
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: pick going into the twenty nineteen NFL Draft. He could

820
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: have raised his stock a little bit, maybe been a

821
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: two second rounder. But with two second rounders, is there

822
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: an opportunity there would you want? Now? I've said all along,

823
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: I want to maintain those those two second round picks

824
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: until I get an offer that I just can't refuse.

825
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: And these guys have all protas I mean essentially all

826
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: like they would be NFL draft picks. So Beale, Alexander

827
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: and Brandon Bryant. Those are the three names that that

828
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: most people are going to be familiar with their five

829
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: players in the supplemental draft, but those are the three

830
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: that most people keep an eye on. I think Bale

831
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: is the one that a lot of people will have

832
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: some interest in. So we'll see if the Texans do

833
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: anything with Sambo or Donnas Alexander. Like I said, these

834
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: guys have had some off the field issues. Bial's been

835
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: in the classroom, Alexander's been in the classroom and others.

836
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: Brandon Brian is a guy that will a talented guy,

837
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: just incredibly talented guy. But has has had some issues

838
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 1: both on the field and off the field. So these

839
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: guys all have something there. But is there is there

840
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: enough there that you'd want to take a chance and

841
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: draft the guy in the supplemental Draft having to give

842
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: up a pick in the twenty nineteen NFL Draft. We'll

843
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: find that out tomorrow and around noon local time. But

844
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: the Texans decided to do if they decided to do

845
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: anything in the supplemental Draft with those three defensive backs.

846
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 1: Thanks to Drew, Thanks to DP, Thanks you guys for listening.

847
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: We'll see tomorrowy buddy, and as always, go Texans.
