1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: Happy Friday.

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 2: Everybody, Welcome into Texans All Access from the Hunter of

3
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: Texans Radio Studio, John and Mark with you carrying you through.

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: We've got plenty tonight. We're gonna hear from Mike Boone.

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna hear from our pal Wade Smith. We're gonna

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: have Indie Klue on. We're also gonna hear from the General.

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: We got a lot going on, Mark vandermir but we

8
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 2: got to start off each and every night show with

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: our thoughts from today. At practice was day three, it

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: was fans, there's a lot going on today, Your thoughts, juice.

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: That's what I felt. The electricity got you scrugs.

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: Not you scrugs. He was out there, He was out.

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 3: There, but the electricity, the energy from the fans, it

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: was palpable. I saw five six deep in the end zone, Johnny,

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that for years. I haven't seen it

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: that thick, that end of the field, and that's how

17
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: you really measure. That's the SRO crowd. Now they're covering

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: up as well too. We've got everybody covered up here

19
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: at training camp now, which is awesome. But I thought

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: it made a big difference. The the ooze and odds

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: and and oh if somebody didn't get a connection going

22
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: in the passing game. It was fun to watch, It

23
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 3: was fun to be a part of it.

24
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really cool. I said this, and I'll

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: say this from time to time. I don't think I'm

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: hyperbolic and saying this. That was the biggest crowd I've

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: seen since I've been in the building in twenty fourteen,

28
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: and I don't remember now, there's a couple of year

29
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: gap where I was doing overnight shows, so I wasn't

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: out there for those because I was trying to sleep

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: because I had.

32
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: To show that night.

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: I remember it being packed, but it hit me at

34
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 2: about it was probably about nine ish, nine ish nine eighteen.

35
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: I looked down towards the north end of the stadium

36
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: where the sro crowd, like you said, and I could

37
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: see there. Usually there's a pathway that you walk up

38
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: to go to the bleachers. Well at the end of

39
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: the bleachers, when you're going into the end zone, that's

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 2: where all.

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: The people could move.

42
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: It was like seventy d I'm like, man, it was wild.

43
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: So I liked hearing him get excited. I think the

44
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: first thing I got excited about was when case Keenum

45
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: let fly to Alex Bachman down the field and you

46
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: just feel that Christianity.

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: It's a deep ball and they're.

48
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: Like, oh, and Bachman made one heck of an effort

49
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: and he laid out. And this is what I love

50
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: about fans. He lays out, he doesn't make the catch,

51
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: and they get up. He gets up and they're clapping

52
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: for him. It's like, great effort. It was great effort.

53
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: So it was that juice that the fans provided. You

54
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: know they'll be they'll continue to provide for how many

55
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: more how many more fans practicing right, it's eight in total,

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: So they're gonna be out there and they're gonna see

57
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: some some good stuff. Overall offense defense, I still think

58
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 2: the defense is ahead. Some guys got veteran rest days.

59
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: Jimmy Ward got a veteran rest day, so Eric Murray

60
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: got some some time back there with Jalen Petrie. I

61
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: just feel like this defense is dialed in, still really

62
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: dialed in. And we'll see what happens when they get

63
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: the pads on. But I just feel that group is

64
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: ready to unleash.

65
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: Well without pads. Correct me if I'm wrong. If the

66
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: d puts forth, more effort on the line or a

67
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: little bit extra, They're gonna have some tremendous advantages in

68
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: this non padded eleven on eleven work. That's true. The

69
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: other thing that you and I are talking about, and

70
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: it's notable, is that they haven't done seven on sevens yet,

71
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 3: or just the last couple of days.

72
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: They haven't done it.

73
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: They did it the first day because I remember scrambling

74
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: over there to see the end of seven on seven,

75
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: but they haven't done it the last couple of days.

76
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: I find that interesting. I think they probably feel like

77
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: they need more team work, and the benefits are there,

78
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: they'll probably do more seven on sevens. It's camp continues.

79
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: They do the individual stuff. That's good. It's so hard

80
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: and this time of year in training camp, if your offense,

81
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: I'll say it again, I say it every year. If

82
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: your offense is torching your defense, you suck. You're not

83
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: gonna be good. Okay, you're not gonna be good on

84
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: d If your offense is that far ahead, I don't

85
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: care who the quarterback is. It should be tough to

86
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: get the timing because the defense has a lot of

87
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: advantages and that they're trying to take you apart while

88
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 3: you're trying to put something together with timing and precision.

89
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: So let's see where it is a week from now

90
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: and then preseason one and the rest of it. Because

91
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: you play, what six weeks from this weekend, six weeks

92
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: from Sunday, you're playing the Ravens. You got some time

93
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: to get ready. But that's why these guys keep talking

94
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 3: about get one percent better every day. Did the offense

95
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: do that? They probably have some nuances that they see

96
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: where they got better one percent or whatever they want

97
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: to get better at. But it's not there yet and

98
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: it won't be there for a little bit because if

99
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: it was there, I think the defense would be in

100
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: big trouble. And I think this defense, Johnny, I'm not

101
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: going to give you a ranking, but it was at

102
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: the bottom of the league or near it in so

103
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: many categories last year. I think that they have a

104
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 3: chance to get top two thirds, maybe middle of the

105
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: pack this year. I think they're going to rise that

106
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: much in their rankings.

107
00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you.

108
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: Think if this defense keeps up what we've seen, then

109
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: they're going to make They're gonna make it difficult for

110
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: teams to run on them, and that was not that

111
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: was easier for teams last year. I mean everything had

112
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: to be right. You had to have Grenard in the field,

113
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: set in the edge, you had to have Malik in

114
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: the middle. If either one of those are out, or

115
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: god forbid, both of them were out, teams ran and

116
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: did you know, a lot of times what they wanted.

117
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: So it's a it's a group that can be physical.

118
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: I think they've they've shown that they're not afraid to

119
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: be physical, and I think they'll do that.

120
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: Sn Ridgeways adding a lot to that group. I'm curious.

121
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: I'm I'm super curious to see what Scheldon Rankins can

122
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: bring to it when you throw him in a mix.

123
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: But I think you've got something on the defense side

124
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: of the ball.

125
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: The offense.

126
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: Offense always takes time. It always it takes time. You're

127
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: dealing with young quarterbacks still. I mean Davis is only

128
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: in this third year. Cej's a rookie case. Keenum is

129
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: in gunslinger mode. I mean he's just that's what I

130
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: call it. He's gunslinger mode. It doesn't matter what he's

131
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: looking at, he's firing. He got three reps in that

132
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 2: in the first team drew the first two you had

133
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: to hand off.

134
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: So the third one.

135
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, he's throwing this sucker deep. He did,

136
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: He's avery deep, he's in gunslinger. But it's kind it's

137
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: kind of fun to Watts too. But the offense did

138
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: some work against the blitz today. Defense showed a number

139
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 2: of different blitz concepts, sometimes showing a lot of guys

140
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: bringing a lot of guys, sometimes showing a lot of

141
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: guys dropping a lot of guys. But they did a

142
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 2: lot of work against the blitz. And there were a

143
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: couple of moments against the blitz where CJ beat it.

144
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: In particular, Davis had a really nice play on a bootleg.

145
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: The defensive ends have really kind of sniffed out the

146
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: boot leg like they can. They got a good feel

147
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: for it. Jacob Martin's always had a good feel for it.

148
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: But in this particular play, I can't remember who the

149
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: defensive end was, but he went right to Davis and

150
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: as soon as Davis turned around to boot defensive end

151
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: was right there. So Davis has got to turn and

152
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: throw and he found Eric Tomlinson completed it, got five

153
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: to seven yards out of it, and instead of being

154
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: a sack for eight ten yards I mean it's a

155
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: I mean it's massive. Yeah, it's five to seven yards,

156
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: but it could have been a loss of eight positive

157
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: or more so it's positive. And you're exactly right, So

158
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: there have been positive things from this offense. We'll see

159
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: what the pads do, because what the pads do is

160
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: it slid on those linebackers a little bit. Those linebackers,

161
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: you know, they like, we're gonna take half step back.

162
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: We know we're gonna play the pass, we're gonna get

163
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: in position. But now you put the pads on, it's like, okay, Now,

164
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: now it's for real. Now you've got to respect the run.

165
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: So maybe those bootlegs aren't are a little bit more successful.

166
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: Maybe the play action draws those linebackers in a little

167
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: bit more because you have to respect the run once

168
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,559
Speaker 2: the pads go on. So that to me is gonna

169
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: be interesting how it goes on Sunday with pads.

170
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: Yes, we cannot wait for that, and we'll be off

171
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: the air on Sunday, but we'll be doing some content

172
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: work anyway, and Monday back on at eight o'clock and

173
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: we're all eager to see how the passing game continues

174
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: to develop. And you mentioned nice throw by Mills. Nice

175
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: throw by CJ today to ten Dell, who made a move.

176
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: Tank Dell kind of slipped, but then he got up

177
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: and the dB, I forget who it was over there,

178
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: still couldn't get to him. Just slipped and still got

179
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: by the player for significant yack. And that's what Tank

180
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: Dell can do for you. I know there's that one

181
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 3: throw that CJ threw where the ball kind of slipped

182
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: out of his hands. They quacked a little bit. Not

183
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: a jump ball guy, Tank Dell, but they'll find ways

184
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: to get him the football. I think no one has

185
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: the identity yet in this passing game. I think Dell

186
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: is developing what that's going to be for him. I

187
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: think we know who Nico is, but how he fits

188
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: into this offense with this quarterback or these whatever they do.

189
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: We'll see Schultz though, it's clear what he can do.

190
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 3: There's a clear identity. There's a brand to what he

191
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 3: does as a tight end in this pass catching game,

192
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 3: and that is going to be terrific because, look, he

193
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: could end up leading the team in reception somehow. You know,

194
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: it could be that kind of year where you're running

195
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: the ball. Well, here's the positive scenario in him possibly

196
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: doing that. You're running the ball, great, he just happens

197
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: to be the leading receiver because the rest is this ensemble.

198
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: It's a band, it's not a lead singer. Right, It

199
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: could be that way. It doesn't mean the other guys

200
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: are no good. Right, it's Wu Tang. You have thirty

201
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 3: five catches here, you have forty catches there, you have

202
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: another forty five over there, but Schultz has fifty five

203
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: sixty and leads the team because it's all spread out.

204
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's going to be that way, but

205
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: it's a possibility.

206
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: I think it's very much possibility. It's very much possibility.

207
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: Could be Wu Tang.

208
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: Nobody stands out, but they're like nine guys that you

209
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: can rely on at any one.

210
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: I went Fleetwood Mac, which is a more data reference.

211
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: But a lot of people understand that one.

212
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: The Wu Tang right now is a dated reference. But

213
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: at least they've made their way back, and that's fine.

214
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: You respect the Wu Tang and we respect dy Kalu

215
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: and he joined Mark and I this morning. Let's take

216
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,199

00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 5: be a part of this. And y'all know, football is

228
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 5: the first love. John, That's why I always like listening

229
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 5: to you, because you really talk about the guys in

230
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 5: the trenches and appreciate that. So look, if y'all want

231
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 5: to talk offensive line, don't let me stop you because

232
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 5: they're near and dear to my heart as well. But Na,

233
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 5: this is awesome. I haven't been to a practice in

234
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 5: a couple of years now, and to see all my

235
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 5: many of my former teammates here in the ten, it's

236
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 5: it's a fun, fun.

237
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: Event right now.

238
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: Indy, at that point, can you actually talk positively about

239
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: offensive linement or do you get kicked out of the

240
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: D line club for doing it?

241
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 5: No, because I've been retired now for you know brus

242
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 5: and fifteen. Yeah, it's okay. It's like after the ten

243
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 5: year mark, you could you could acknowledge them as human

244
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 5: beings after the ten year mark from retirement.

245
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: So Andy, I saw this this on Twitter Omar Kelly,

246
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: who has covered a dolphin, and he tweeted, I've been

247
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: covering football or covered the NFL for twenty years. I've

248
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 2: never seen this. And it was a couple of D

249
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: linemen across one another. They were just throwing hands. I mean,

250
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: it's something you see at every single training camp. And

251
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: it got me thinking, first of all, what's he been

252
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: watching you? Secondly, it got me thinking about defensive linemen

253
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: and hands.

254
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: We talk about their size and they move.

255
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: How important are the hands for these guys, especially on

256
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: a defense like this where you're getting up field you're disrupting.

257
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: How important are hands to the whole mix for a

258
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: D lineman?

259
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 5: You see, John, That's why you're so great at what

260
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 5: you do. You ask the real questions the hands. Look,

261
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 5: there's a lot of guys that are six three sixty

262
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 5: four two hundred and eighty pounds. I could run a

263
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 5: four to eight forty that or freaks in nature. But

264
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 5: if you can't knock hands down if you can't knock

265
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 5: the offensive lineman's hands down, so you could get to

266
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 5: the path, get on the paths you need to get

267
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 5: onto the quarterback. It doesn't matter how big, how fast,

268
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 5: how strong you are. That's huge. I would I don't

269
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 5: want to put a percentage on it, John, but I

270
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 5: would just say that if you don't have the hands,

271
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 5: you won't be successful in the NFL, because as fast

272
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 5: as some of these guys are, you're not that fast

273
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 5: as just blow by an offensive lineman every snap.

274
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 3: Right, And do you played on three teams Eagles, Washington,

275
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 3: the Texans. You played for twelve years in this league,

276
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: Johnny broke down the d line on this squad yesterday.

277
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: A lot of guys. You need a lot of guys.

278
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't always start, but you might be

279
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: part of a rotation. How important is that rotation in

280
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: depth up front on the defensive line.

281
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 4: It's huge.

282
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 5: Like you said, now, you need one of those guys

283
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 5: to be the guy. You know, for me in phillyos Hughes,

284
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 5: Douglas and I'm not saying the rest of us were slappies,

285
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 5: but you still need to have like one of those guys,

286
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 5: and obviously Will Anderson is supposed to be that individual,

287
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 5: but you need to have fresh rushers. When an offensive

288
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 5: lineman has been battling out with a defensive lineman for

289
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 5: eight nine plays in a row, then some fresh young

290
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 5: guy comes trying on the field to give him another

291
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 5: set of moves and a fresh get off. That's so important.

292
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 5: So I would say, realistically, you want everyone to make

293
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 5: the team, you want everyone to be a star. But

294
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 5: if you have like six guys that you say he

295
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 5: can rush, whether it's a five technique, seven technique, nine technique,

296
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 5: I think that's what you need for success. At least

297
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 5: five to six guys that can truly get after the quarterback.

298
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 4: And what does that mean.

299
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 5: That means you're not gonna have the Jj Watt stat

300
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 5: of one guy having twenty two sacks. But if you

301
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 5: have five or six guys and they have between five

302
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 5: to twelve thirteen sacks, to me, that's a big deal.

303
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 2: And you don't know which guy you should double, we're

304
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: not totally shore you should game plan for him. I

305
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: mean that just becomes I mean because obviously you playing

306
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: with JJ, everybody knows JJ's getting doubled, he's getting tripled.

307
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: All right, so the guy's got to step up.

308
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: That's cool. But if you've got it across the.

309
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: Board, then you can mix match, you can move some

310
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: guys inside.

311
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Indy.

312
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 2: This gets thrown These words are about to say get

313
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: thrown around all the time. I don't think anybody ever

314
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: says the right way how stop the run?

315
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: You gotta stop the run. What's the most important thing

316
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: for a team to stop the run?

317
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: Gap integrity?

318
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 5: And that means the defensive tackles and those guards they

319
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 5: have to be in the right gap, so your middle

320
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 5: linebackers to make those plays. So you're outside linebacker, if

321
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 5: he has Seeda Alli, he doesn't have to worry about

322
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 5: what's going on in the BA gap because he knows

323
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 5: that his defensive lineman is securing the gap and they

324
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 5: have that gap integrity.

325
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: It's not just.

326
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 5: About oh, you're you know, filling the positions, not having

327
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 5: enough tackles. You need certain guys to be where they're

328
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 5: supposed to be. So your middle linebacker they'll make those plays.

329
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 3: What about the preseason ND you're gonna be doing these

330
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: games on Texans preseason TV. How important is it for

331
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: the different levels of the depth charge Some guys are

332
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: established starters, but this team is relatively young. I don't

333
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: think anybody's that established. Laramie's established, But can you speak

334
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: to that a little bit. The importance of what's coming up.

335
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 5: Here for these guys, it's huge because whether we like

336
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 5: it or not, they're building something here. Unlike some of

337
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 5: the like the Kansas City Chiefs, the Cincinnati Bengals, where

338
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 5: you have ninety guys report to training camp, In reality,

339
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 5: those ninety guys they're fighting for about ten spots. If

340
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, you got about forty guys

341
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 5: that out of the fifty three who make the roster,

342
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 5: you have about forty guys no matter what happens, they're

343
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 5: gonna make the team. So with the Houston Texans, I

344
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 5: mean you're gonna see undrafted guys make a name for

345
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 5: themselves and maybe make the squads. You're gonna see late

346
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 5: draft picks have an actual shot and making the team. So,

347
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 5: especially with the young team, Mark, I think the preseason,

348
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 5: what we're seeing here today, the actual games, it's gonna

349
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 5: matter more for the individual making the team than with

350
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 5: some of these established teams.

351
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: And do you when you're out a training camp, do

352
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: you ever have that moment kind of you get a

353
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: shiver through your body where you kind of recall two

354
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: days and being out for two practices of this heat.

355
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: Because you played high school in San Antonio, you played

356
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: college at Rice, so did you play training camp here?

357
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: But I'd imagine during that time frame you went through

358
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: two A days, You went through a lot of to

359
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: A days, whereas now they're only going through one practice,

360
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: but they got a lot of other things. Do you

361
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: kind of have a little shiver that you go, oh

362
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: my god, thank god, I'm not doing two days today.

363
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny you say that.

364
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 5: It's not even when I'm here at the facilities, when

365
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 5: I wake up and it's eight o'clock and I'm outside

366
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 5: and it's already humid, and you smell the dude from

367
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 5: the grass and you're like, thank God, I don't have

368
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 5: to go out there in practice. But like right now,

369
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 5: watching them stretch as a team, as corny as it

370
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 5: may sound, I actually kind of miss that, Like just

371
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 5: seeing them all together as one stretching getting ready to

372
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 5: go Brian together.

373
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 4: You miss that?

374
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 3: Well, that's a great question and leads into a great

375
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 3: question legends community members. You're with the guys here today

376
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: and you guys have the camaraderie, but it's not the same.

377
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: Is that The first thing that goes is that the

378
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: toughest thing to adjust to when you retire, that you

379
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: don't have that locker room every day to go to.

380
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 5: If you ask twenty guys that have retired, what do

381
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 5: you miss the most?

382
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 4: Fifteen or more.

383
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 5: I don't want to exaggerate because I was gonna say nineteen,

384
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 5: but fifteen or more against say the camaraderie in the

385
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 5: locker room, like for me, the coming home from an

386
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 5: away trip as weird, as specific as that may sound,

387
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 5: coming home from one that you win, actually, but coming

388
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 5: home from an away trip, I just miss that, like

389
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 5: you just miss that. You know, Mike Quinn is here,

390
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 5: former quarterback. If you look at us, you probably think

391
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 5: they don't have anything in common. But every time I

392
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 5: see him, I hug him like he's my brother. And

393
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 5: we actually haven't even played together with the Texans, so

394
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 5: that camaraderie there isn't anything like it. And you know,

395
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 5: not to get too darker. That's why so many guys

396
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 5: have issues after they retire, because they're trying to feel

397
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 5: that that void of the camaraderie, and you just can't.

398
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, fill it with something.

399
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: I know you don't want to speak for the Texas

400
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: Legends community indeed, but we're gonna let you speak for

401
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: the Texans Legend community. Dimiko Ryan's as head coach? What

402
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: does that mean not only to this organization but also

403
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: to y'all's group two? Somebody that's actually played you played

404
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: with all that? What does that mean to have to

405
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: meet with here as head coach?

406
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 4: It words came.

407
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 5: I've been thinking about how can I best describe what

408
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 5: it means to us? It's and I guess I'm showing

409
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 5: my age for us. A lot of us met Travis

410
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 5: Johnson Roberts. It's like a little brother who got the gig.

411
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 5: So we're overly protective. So I'll tell you right now,

412
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 5: I'm probably not the best person to talk to. Hey,

413
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 5: how do you evaluate the coaches? Because man, they're great.

414
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 5: You know they're they're doing a great job. But and

415
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 5: it's not just because we played with him. It's because

416
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 5: of the type of person he is. I mean, I've

417
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 5: played with some guys. If you said, hey, they're the

418
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 5: head coach for the Houston Texas, I'll be all good.

419
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 5: For them, But with Jamiko's it was kind of emotional

420
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 5: one I heard. Because he's such a great guy. No

421
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 5: matter what he does, you're gonna be rooting for him.

422
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 5: I mean, they nailed it. And not just because he's smart,

423
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 5: not just because he's a great leader, not just because

424
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 5: he's a good, strong person. He's also very sharp. He's

425
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 5: gonna be successful as the head coach for the Houston

426
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 5: Texans and.

427
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,520

00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: the people need to know that.

436
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 5: We're gonna beat University of Texas to open the season.

437
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 5: We got ut and we're gonna beat them up. We

438
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 5: beat them already not too long. I could go back

439
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 5: what ninety four was that? Is that a long time ago?

440
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: You know? Yeah, I was like yesterday on site, on

441
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: site guy, one of our best rear balls like now

442
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: he's a big Texas fan, so I was like, nah, wait,

443
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: he's got a Texas bracelet.

444
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: On, so they're gonna get good words from him.

445
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 5: But I will say this with my what I always say,

446
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 5: quote unquote real job. My real estate company, we have

447
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 5: four RIS interns, and I remember after their first day,

448
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 5: I told my wife like this, this is what it

449
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 5: means to be a RICE out. I mean, the dudes

450
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 5: are so respectful, so sharp. We give them a task

451
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 5: in the office and what they come back with it

452
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 5: just blows me away. And I'm like, wow, can we

453
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 5: hire you full time? Because, uh, that's what it means

454
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 5: to be a RICE you know, student athlete. It's when

455
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 5: you meet these guys and gals, especially the female athletes,

456
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 5: you can't help but root for him because in a

457
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 5: day where and I'm all for nil, I'm all for

458
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 5: you know, giving these college athletes every and anything they deserve.

459
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 4: But in a day and age where it's about how.

460
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 5: Much money can I get, you know, the facility to

461
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 5: meet true student athletes, Like even if you're not from rights,

462
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 5: go support them because what you're watching out there are

463
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 5: true student athletes.

464
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: That's terrific. You mentioned the real estate company. You and

465
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 3: I were on this summit with AMG Bank and we

466
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 3: were talking about business in Houston and you told some

467
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 3: good stories. How did this come into play for you?

468
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 3: Because clearly you've been a huge success so far. How

469
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: did it all start? Just give us a little taste

470
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: of that. How you got into it at DEED.

471
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 5: I never expected to play twelve years, so every off

472
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 5: season I was like, Okay, I gotta get ready because

473
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 5: this is probably gonna.

474
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 4: Be a year I get cut anything.

475
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 5: So even as a teenager, something about buying dilapidated homes

476
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 5: and fixing them up. It was just always something that

477
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 5: interests me. So that's how I got started, and that

478
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 5: morphed into my apartments every other off season. I think

479
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 5: after getting all the licensed certifications, you know, we created

480
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 5: an entity where we manage our properties other people's properties.

481
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 5: Then that morphed into lending, so we do more private landing.

482
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 5: So just kind of just the trajectory of once you

483
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 5: get into real estate, there's so many different avenues you

484
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 5: can go in. And again not to pump up Rice

485
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 5: because I ain't the sharpest guy on the tool. But

486
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 5: the people around me from Rice, they are and they're

487
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 5: the ones who's kind of put me in position to

488
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 5: be able to do what we're doing in the real

489
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 5: estate world.

490
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: Right now. Sounds like you're busy, Yeah, a little bit.

491
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 5: The cool thing the office. You can see it from here,

492
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 5: so I'm gonna be sweating and funky, but I could

493
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 5: go right back to my office after practice.

494
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,480

Speaker 1: Now I'm here with Mike Bruin. Now, like I asked

555
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: this question of everybody coming off the field.

556
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: You're from m cliny fordas you know humidity, but I

557
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: gotta ask the heat humidity has it been?

558
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, I'm from Florida. But that still don't mean nothing.

559
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 6: You know, and that heat get on you is own

560
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 6: you dogs. It's like sometimes you feel more hot than tired.

561
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 6: You know that's the that's the battle to get over, man.

562
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 6: But you know it's not going nowhere.

563
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 7: You know. All we can do is get used to it.

564
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 7: Use it to our advantage.

565
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: You had no doubt. Use it to your advantage. Use

566
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: your pads to your advantage. On Sunday you put the

567
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: pads on. What does that mean for a running back?

568
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 4: For you?

569
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: When you put the pads on, I saw you. I

570
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: rooke you up the other day for really nice. You

571
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,239
Speaker 2: recognize the blitz and you got where you need to be.

572
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: That's one thing, and that's a big thing. But now

573
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: you put the pads on, how important is you know

574
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: all the different things that you gotta do, what's the

575
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 2: most important thing when you put the pads on that

576
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: you gotta kind of worry about focus on Oh.

577
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, it's it's I understand we're going against our teammates,

578
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 6: but as a running back, you got to set the tone.

579
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 7: You know, you gotta deliver the blow. Be the hammer,

580
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 7: not the nail.

581
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 3: You know.

582
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 6: That's how I look at it, just you know, setting

583
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 6: the tempo in and you know, getting.

584
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 7: Getting used to banging again. Man, It's it's kind of fun.

585
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: You know.

586
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 7: You got you gotta lift for it, especially at our position.

587
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt.

588
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: You gotta lift for it.

589
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 2: Because you take a lot of hits and they pile

590
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: up over the career.

591
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: So how do you keep your body in chape Like?

592
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: How do you handle all those hits that you got

593
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: to take that you have taken thus far through your career.

594
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, you kind of.

595
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 6: Trying not to take on too many head on blows.

596
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 6: You know that that's a trick. But uh, you know,

597
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 6: the the real importance is how you take care of

598
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 6: yourself outside of the field.

599
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 8: Man.

600
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 6: You know, you gotta get your wrist hadre recover, get

601
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 6: your massages.

602
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 3: Man.

603
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 6: You know, bring your body back to one hundred with

604
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 6: your diet and you know what you feel your body with. Man,

605
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 6: So that's that's super important, just as just as much as.

606
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 7: Knowing how to deliver a blow and how to take

607
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 7: a blow.

608
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 4: You know, absolutely, Mike.

609
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,679

Speaker 2: To see you your first year with the Texans, for

611
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,520

612
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,720

613
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: see you catching football shot.

614
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,480

615
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: was really nice today. But what are the Texans gotten

616
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,000

617
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:09,440

Speaker 6: Man, it's firepower here, and you know I'm gonna do

Speaker 2: Man.

622
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 6: I like to consider myself a versatile back. You know

623
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 6: of if you need me to be a pass protector,

624
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 6: I can protect the quarterback. You need me to be

625
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 6: a one cutback scoring touchdown eighty r touchdown, you know

626
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 6: I can do that. So I just try to bring versatility,

627
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 6: competitiveness and you know, one cut, decisive back.

Speaker 1: it out Pro.

683
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 3: Bowl offensive lineman Wade Smith, another Legends Committee member, Wade

684
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: how's it going.

685
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 9: I'm doing amazing, man. This is a great setup that

686
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 9: the Texans got going on here. He got a full house. First, Well,

687
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 9: this is gonna be I guess the last day that

688
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 9: they're not in pads. I guess they're gonna be in

689
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 9: past tomorrow. So it's an exciting time to be a

690
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 9: fan of the time exens man.

691
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: So Waite is an offensive lineman, and I was thinking

692
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: about this the last couple of days because I'm watching

693
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: these defensive linemen just run up field and the only

694
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: offensive line.

695
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: Are like, hey, this isn't really they can do.

696
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: And so you see him stopping a run and then

697
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: I see the offensive lineman get chewed out.

698
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: Uh, that's gonna be such a frustrating existence.

699
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: But how important was it for you guys to put

700
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: the pads on, to say, okay, defensive linean, all that

701
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 2: nonsense is over.

702
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: Now we're both on equal footing. Let's rock.

703
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

704
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 9: You you always want to be able to because in

705
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 9: training camp, if you're really not finishing every drill physically,

706
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 9: unless it's like goal line, they try to keep people

707
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 9: off the ground later in my career. That was kind

708
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 9: of the eating early in the career, it was it

709
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 9: was it was like two thousand and three through about

710
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 9: two thoy eleven when the CBA change like it was

711
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 9: full go, but you know, they try to keep guys

712
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 9: off the ground. But when you got your pads on

713
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 9: and you're able to work into double team blocks and

714
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 9: really feel what it's gonna really feel like, it's different

715
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 9: when you're doing double team blocks and you don't have

716
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 9: any pads on. You're still expected to execute the same,

717
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 9: but what it feels like to he was completely different.

718
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 6: Right.

719
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 9: It could be it could be pretty physical and painful

720
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 9: on you to do it, but that's the adrenaline and bravado. Hey,

721
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 9: you're gonna try to get your job done regardless. So

722
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 9: it's it's it's definitely funner for the offensive lineman when

723
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 9: you got your full pads on.

724
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: Does the talk stop once the pads go on?

725
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: Because I'd imagine in my years there was just all

726
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: us talking, and there'd always be that one guy yapping,

727
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: and you knew he was softest tissue paper, but he

728
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: wanted to tell everybody how big he was some pads

729
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: and then he got rolled in the talking stopped is

730
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: the talking stopped at the after pads.

731
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 9: So the talking never stopped when I was here because

732
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 9: we had Antonio Smith, and Antonio Smith had he was

733
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 9: the best type of talker that you could have, so

734
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 9: you didn't mind his type of talk, Like that's ninja.

735
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 9: So he's gonna talk noise and and you're gonna talk back.

736
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 9: And you know, me and him had our battles each

737
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 9: and every day. You know Iron Chakan's aren't So I

738
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 9: love that about it. That gets to keep you going,

739
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 9: just like Domko when he's you know, a great day to.

740
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 10: Be alive, all that type of stuff. Cushing.

741
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 9: We had a lot of guys that didn't mind mixing

742
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 9: it up and talking when we're here. So the main

743
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 9: thing that bothers you with talking is when you're doing

744
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 9: these you know, practicing with the Saints, So you're practicing

745
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 9: with other teams, and those guys start talking because they

746
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 9: know you want to finish. You're gonna finish those guys off,

747
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 9: and that's that makes it fun as well.

748
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 3: Well. What about Sean Cody too, because you mentioned some

749
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: of the characters you had in your day. Yeah, I

750
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: remember Thanksgiving week practice, he had the pilgrim shoes. I

751
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 3: don't know. He kind of drew them on his taped

752
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 3: feet with a sharpie and it looked pretty good. Yeah,

753
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 3: he always did Santa Claus costume with Vonte Leach one

754
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: practice on a Friday. Stuff like that was really fun.

755
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 9: He did a good job of keeping it light and

756
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 9: him and Myers they had a arrangement worked out, so

757
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 9: they made sure they made it look good throughout it

758
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 9: throughout training camp. But those guys you could count on

759
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 9: them that when it mattered, they were gonna be ready

760
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 9: to go.

761
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 10: And so it was. It was fun playing with with Cody.

762
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: Wait, when you hear people talk and I know we've

763
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: even mentioned this on the air, we say this a

764
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 2: lot like, oh man, this is gonna be the best

765
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: off to line since that group in twenty eleven, And

766
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: that is always kind of used at twenty eleven team

767
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: in particular, it's kind of used as a benchmark team

768
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: in a benchmark offensive line, and.

769
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 1: It seems like the year's removed.

770
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: We look back on it with even more respect that

771
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 2: maybe we took it for granted. How good you guys

772
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: were in twenty eleven. What made the group so good

773
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 2: that you were with that year.

774
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 9: In particular, I gotta be honest with you, twenty ten

775
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 9: year we were probably a little bit better than twenty

776
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 9: eleven as far as offensive line. People were recognized twenty

777
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 9: eleven because we had team success, right, and you really

778
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 9: get the recognition as an offensive line when your team's

779
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 9: doing well around you. But in twenty ten, the first

780
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 9: game of the year, we ran for two thirty one

781
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 9: with Arian and then the next game we threw for

782
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 9: five something with Shah Like we had the ability to

783
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 9: go back and forth like that.

784
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 10: With that team. We could throw it around when we

785
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 10: wanted to, we could run it we wanted to.

786
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 9: So I think it started that year when I got

787
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 9: there in twenty ten for the guys with the returners,

788
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 9: I was the new guy, and it was in an

789
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 9: offense that I pretty familiar with and a scheme to

790
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 9: fit what I did to a team. So I was

791
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 9: just me, you know, joining the group. And then we

792
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 9: hit the ball. We hit the ground running, and from

793
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 9: twenty ten till twenty thirteen we had a good run

794
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 9: there of guys being healthy and being able to play

795
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 9: at a very high level, and fortunately for us and

796
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 9: for the team, we.

797
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 10: Had a bunch of success along the way.

798
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 3: Wade Smith joining US Texans training camp live field side team,

799
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: still doing stretching type drills here, just getting loose for

800
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 3: the morning session, the only session of the day. As

801
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 3: Wade said, no more to a day's wait. I love

802
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 3: talking to you about Olive because you played every position.

803
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: Let's talk about instead of rookies and what they're experiencing.

804
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 3: What about Kenyon Green going into year two because year

805
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 3: one was what it was. The team didn't win a

806
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: lot of games, He had some moments. What happens to

807
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 3: your body when you're a big guy in general, maybe

808
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 3: d line two year one to year two and you

809
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 3: have a little more time to work on things.

810
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 9: Well, you have a full off season to be a

811
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 9: professional athlete. You know, when you're a rookie coming in,

812
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 9: you're fresh off of doing a bunch of you know,

813
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 9: you're going around the circuit of going to the draft

814
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 9: and you're going to Top twenty visits and you're training

815
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,959
Speaker 9: for the combine and all those combine type drills aren't

816
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 9: necessarily the type of training that you're gonna do when

817
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 9: you're getting ready to play an actual season. So it's

818
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 9: just a little bit of a different process that you're

819
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 9: going through as a player.

820
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 10: You're gonna become more of a man per.

821
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 9: Se going from one year one to year two because

822
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 9: you're a professional athlete. You're training with professionals each and

823
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 9: every day, and so the expectations changed for you as well.

824
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 9: Like people don't have a lot of expectations out of rookies,

825
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 9: but when you go into their second year, you've been there,

826
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 9: you've done that, you've seen it, you've been in the fire.

827
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 9: Now the expectations of you go up, and you're gonna

828
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 9: have to, you know, rise to challenge.

829
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: Wait, everybody talks about Laramie and Titus, and for good reason,

830
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: those guys on the edges. You're talking about those guys,

831
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: you know, these great tackles Laramie and Titus. The addition

832
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: of Shaq Mason experienced been around. He's interesting because when

833
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 2: you look at him, you're like, he's six ' two maybe,

834
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 2: but he's built like a.

835
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: Bleep brick house.

836
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 10: Right, how important?

837
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: But he can move?

838
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: How important is it to bring over a guy like

839
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: that and put him right next to Titus.

840
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 4: Or right guard?

841
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, I love him at right guard, especially in this offense.

842
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 9: He's a he's a really good athlete. He anchors well,

843
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 9: so he's gonna be able to keep the pocket clean,

844
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 9: like the depth of the pocket clean for cj Or

845
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 9: or Davis, whoever's that quarterback, is gonna be able to

846
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 9: keep his pocket clean for those guys. And he's physical,

847
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 9: and he and he and he plays with the right

848
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 9: type of temperman. He's gonna fit right into what de

849
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 9: Miko wants with his team as the guys he's physical

850
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 9: and it's gonna be attacking and get after people. So

851
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 9: when you have a guy like that next to Titus

852
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 9: Howard who's had some success and now he's gonna have

853
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 9: some stability next to him, Now that right side of

854
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 9: the line, you're looking at him and you say, okay,

855
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 9: this is this is a side of.

856
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 10: The line that we can count on.

857
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 9: The tunsle Is tunsl you know, he's one of the best,

858
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 9: if not the best leve tackle in the league. And

859
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 9: so now you got a guy like Keenan Green this

860
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 9: next to them, or whoever's playing next to him, you know,

861
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 9: those guys are gonna they're gonna they're gonna get help

862
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 9: because they have somebody that's so good right next to them.

863
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 3: So with the quarterback situation here and Demiko's rotating the

864
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 3: quarterbacks right now. We all know they've drafted Stroud number

865
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 3: two overall. How does that affect the rest of the

866
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 3: team whatever they're going through or are you just so

867
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 3: focused on getting better as you an individual in the process.

868
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, at the end of the day, you're focused on yourself,

869
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 9: You're focused on your group. You let the you let

870
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 9: the people upstairs make those type of decisions of who's

871
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 9: gonna be in the huddle with you, but you're you're

872
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 9: trying to earn the respect of your opponents and the

873
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 9: people that are that are gonna be.

874
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 10: Next to you each and every day in practice, each

875
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 10: and every rep.

876
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 9: How you approach it, how you finish and plays, all

877
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 9: that type of stuff, and you focus on those things

878
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 9: and everything else will work itself out. And I'm sure

879
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 9: that the quarterbacks have to have the same mentality, Like

880
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 9: when you get your opportunities and you get your reps,

881
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 9: go in, go in and produce, go in and do

882
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 9: your job and do it at the high level.

883
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 10: And when you do that, then you create opportunities for

884
00:36:59,120 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 10: you to play.

885
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 3: What do you have going on in your life right

886
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 3: now that we need to know about. Oh man, we'll

916
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: Your Houston Texans. It's time to catch up with.

917
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 2: The General and we started the new signing the Texans

918
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 2: made this morning.

919
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 3: The Texans have signed Johnny and I want to get

920
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 3: your thoughts on him as well. Mister fant a tackle.

921
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: What do you read into this.

922
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 8: Well, it means they're worried about Charlie Agg He's the

923
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 8: third tackle.

924
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: He's coming off knee surgery.

925
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 8: He couldn't participate in the off season program, and now

926
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 8: they have him on physically unable to perform, which means

927
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 8: when he can practice, he'll come off the list. But

928
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 8: the problem is they got to have bodies fans a veteran,

929
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 8: and that third tackle job is wide open until Charlie

930
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 8: Hack gets back.

931
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 10: And when he.

932
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 8: Comes back, you're not exactly sure you know what shape

933
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 8: he'll be in because he's had a knee injury.

934
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: But that that's what I think it is.

935
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 3: John.

936
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 2: I absolutely agree with the General keep him on that trial.

937
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: It was a couple of days ago, his original trials

938
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: a couple of days ago, and he did not get

939
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 2: a contract.

940
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: Immediately, And you mentioned it.

941
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 2: What happened yesterday in practice Laramie went out for a

942
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: bit that put Killian zare Desire over at left tackle

943
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 2: with the Ones. A rookie, A rookie who's only played

944
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 2: football for seven years, which then, I mean, if you

945
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 2: think about it, you play as guys played since they

946
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: were kids. He's only played it for seven years, so

947
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 2: he's still.

948
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: Learning the game. And you put him over there with Ones.

949
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 2: Now he might grow into because he's a whale of

950
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: an athlete, he might grow into a starting player for

951
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 2: you down the road. But when you don't have Charlie Heckers,

952
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 2: John said, you're using Deculus on the right side behind Titus.

953
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: You got to have some depth.

954
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 2: And George Fans played for the Seahawks, he played for

955
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 2: the Jets last year.

956
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: They've got some experience just there.

957
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 2: There's some six degrees of George Fant that they can

958
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 2: connect to that they probably knew. So they did the workout,

959
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: bringing a vet, let him work out with a team.

960
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: They still greg little too, which I thought was a

961
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: speaky hot signing. So when they bring Charltte, that's one

962
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 2: position like corner that I really I don't care how

963
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 2: you can bring them all the good ones in people,

964
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: many of the men as possible people.

965
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 8: I had such high expectations for Greg Little when he

966
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 8: came out of college. I remember going into his last

967
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 8: year people were talking about and yet he's never panned

968
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 8: out exactly like he wanted. So maybe he could come

969
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 8: in here and give him depth. Although I'm guessing if

970
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 8: they'd seen out of him what they want to see,

971
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 8: and I'm assuming he could play either side, considering he's

972
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 8: been in the league, and yet they're playing a rookie

973
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 8: with seven years of football experience ahead of Greg Little.

974
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 3: Well, they must like what they see in Sire. I mean,

975
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 3: not for a starting job, but potential to help out

976
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 3: because I think that any general manager you're thinking, all right,

977
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 3: I'm not thinking that I'm gonna get a career out

978
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 3: of this player player X, that I'm signing here or

979
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 3: putting out my ninety man roster. But maybe I need

980
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 3: a couple of games out of somebody. Maybe I need

981
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 3: some snaps. Maybe I need one game and we all

982
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 3: see what happens when you have those games like the

983
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 3: Charger game in twenty one where everybody's out. Now that

984
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 3: was COVID. It was a weird situation. But the guys

985
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 3: who played played well.

986
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 8: You won the game console Lenage to play in preseason.

987
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 8: I wouldn't put him on the field.

988
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 3: Nope, doesn't need to do it, no reps.

989
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: What's the young guys playing, George in fact, so find

990
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: out what you got.

991
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 3: I would say with Laramie, I would say, Laramie, you've

992
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 3: got an injury sit down, you know, I would.

993
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 10: Like either one of those guys.

994
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 4: I wouldn't do it.

995
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: I just make sure that they're in they're conditioned, in

996
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: hitting shape.

997
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: That's that's the key.

998
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: They do have to get themselves in hitting shape, timing

999
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 2: and yeah, and that they can do a practice, but

1000
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 2: they can also that with four joint practices too. Yes,

1001
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: you know they'll face Chubb, they'll face Jalen Phillips. You know,

1002
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 2: they'll face Camp Jordan with the Saints. You know they're

1003
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: gonna get some work against some good guys. They just

1004
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 2: need to get themselves in hitting shape. But I'm if

1005
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: they're standing next to me with you know, ball caps

1006
00:41:55,719 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 2: on during the games, I'm fine with sag to a general.

1007
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 2: All three of them consider right by me with ball Caps.

1008
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 2: They need to broadcast with me if they wanted to it,

1009
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 2: that would be kind of fun. That isn't quite going

1010
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: to happen, but big thanks to John McClain, Wade Smith,

1011
