1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Hey, Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to a Monday

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: edition of Texas All Access from Monday Texans a Radio studio.

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, glad to be with you.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: Had a little Texans money this morning. We broke down

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: a lot of the game that happened and took place.

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: We also got opinions from Andrea ware, from Specier Tillman,

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: and John McClane. You'll hear those tonight as well if

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: you were unable to hear it. You're also gonna hear

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: from defensive back Shyene Carter aka Coach Carter. And it

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: isn't because of the movie. It's not because of the movie.

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: And we'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. I'll

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: tell you a little bit later because we're gonna hear

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: from Shyam in this segment along with Andrea Waaring his

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: first segment. But we got to get to a little

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: bit of news and a few of my observations, my

16
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: Harris hits from practice today. First piece of news came

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: out about lunchtime today. A little bit after that early afternoon,

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: the Texans, according to sources, have not seen this official yet,

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: but the Texans have traded defensive back Keyon Crossing apparently

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: to the New York Giants, where Keyon is reunited with

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: a special team's coach from New England, Joe Judge with

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: the Giants, and Texans will get apparently a six round

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: pick in twenty twenty three. We don't have that official

24
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: word yet from Texans, but we have seen that reported

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: from many many people. I don't know who was the first,

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: don't really care who the first was, but that trade

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: has been made. Keyon Crossing going to the New York Giants.

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: So thought process in that deal with Keion is there

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: must be some guys that have really impressed, and I

30
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: think that we've seen it. We've seen Tremont Smith with

31
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: the interception. We've seen him make some plays in practice.

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: We see John Reed had two really nice cover plays

33
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: the other night against the Packers. So maybe it feels

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: of the Texans getting some draft capital for a guy

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: they traded a seventh round or four a couple of

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: years ago and got two very very good years out

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: of in Keion Crossing. Love the guy and I'm wish

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: him well wherever he goes. I don't care who he

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: plays for. I'll be cheering for that guy all the way.

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: But Keian Crossing apparently traded to the Giants. Not official yet,

41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: but many sources have said that is the case. We'll

42
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: we'll probably have the official word, I would think tomorrow

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: at some point. But we've seen everybody tweeting it and

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: putting it out there. So wishing Keion luck in New

45
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: Jersey with the man. All right, let's get to some

46
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: of my thoughts from practice, and I think probably the

47
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: biggest winner of practice today how to be Nico Collins.

48
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: I've got three separate times written down. Here's the first one,

49
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: five to twelve. So's my short end, five to twelve. Wow,

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: what a catch over thirty seven's head. Wonderful completion I've

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: got They think that astros three times. Basically, Nico just

52
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: went up and picked it off the top of the

53
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: defensive back's head, I mean, and then none of that

54
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: and he kept running. So he goes up, snatches it,

55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: comes down and keeps running. The other thing the body

56
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: control will be able to do that a little while later.

57
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: I've got him ten to twelve. This one, it comes

58
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: from Davis Mills deep back shoulder ball that he had

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: to kind of work back to. Went up caught it.

60
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: The way he tracks the ball is for a young dude,

61
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: just amazing, amazing. I wrote down great ball tracker because

62
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: tracking that ball, know where that thing is on deep routes. Man,

63
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: that that is not easy to do. That you think, okay,

64
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: well he's big, he's taller, runs you know, that's easy.

65
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: It is when you're running at his rate of speed.

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: And then you got to go up and make a play.

67
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's tough. And then I've got a third

68
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: one written down here. First play a team five to twelve,

69
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: complete deep and I put in all caps, go get

70
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: it exclamation point because that's what he does and what

71
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: I love about what did he makes these catches? And

72
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you the place, the offensive guys are just

73
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: going nuts. I can hear from the other side of

74
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: the field, just just go crazy for him. And Coach

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: Coully called him over at one point and you could

76
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: just see Nicos kind of like, yeah, what did I

77
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: just do? It's like, you know, he's playing pickup game.

78
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: He just should have, you know, a layup and just

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: walked over like yeah, it wasn't you know, flexing and

80
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: posing and pretty just made the play. But Nico Collins

81
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: an absolute star today in practice, the guy you're going

82
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: to hear from, and just a little bit Shyene Carter

83
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: with one heck of an interception, I mean a tremendous

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: interception and one hander where David Smiles is trying to

85
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: sneak it over the top to him and Carter kinbade

86
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: him into it. He kind of played, as you'll hear,

87
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: he's kind of playing a high level concept and so

88
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: Carter looked like he was playing a low Davis tried

89
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: to sneak it at the top and Carter was ready

90
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: to go get it. That one handed pick. I'm telling you, Wow,

91
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: that was impressive. I think the third one, even though

92
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: David Smiles did throw that interception there, I gotta think

93
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks were just sharp. I mean completions, completions, completions

94
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: all over the place. Really good stuff, I thought from

95
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks on the day. I still see number fifty

96
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: one Kamu Grugier Hill and now there was no pads today,

97
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: so they weren't hitting one another. But he is just

98
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: so quick to the football when he is dropping into

99
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: coverage at his linebacker spot. You saw him phil against

100
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: the run, but when you see him break on a

101
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: ball in pass coverage is pretty impressive. So some good

102
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: stuff today at practice. Those are just a few Harris

103
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: hits at Houston Texans dot Com. I'll get home tonight

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: after the show and go ahead and put those out

105
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: there to check a couple of pages, a couple of

106
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: pages worth, so you can take a listen to that. Now.

107
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned Sham Carter with that interception. I had a

108
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: chance to catch up with him after practice. All right,

109
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: they number fifteen went inside John Harris longside coach Carter.

110
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: Not only is it because of the movie, but my man,

111
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: Sham Carter was actually coaching at Alabama before you got

112
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,559
Speaker 1: an opportunity. I know that's gotta be for you. Probably

113
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: pretty interesting transition. You see the other side of life,

114
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: then you come out here making plays. What's been that

115
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: transition back to playing from coaching? How's that been? Uh,

116
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: it's been an amazing trans transition. I see stuff from

117
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: the other side now as a coach, as like what

118
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: coaches wrong here? So I can you know, relay that

119
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: to my game now? So it's been an amazing it's

120
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: been an amazing journey, you know, from transitioning from coaching

121
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: back to playing, so yeah, I love it. All right,

122
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to the one hand to pick over

123
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: here just a little bit because that was sweet. But

124
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you Saturday night, it was the first

125
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: time getting back on the field in a couple of years,

126
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: right in a year? How that feel? Man? Feel so

127
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: so real? Just just to be out there man, playing,

128
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, with these guys I call my brothers, you know,

129
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: just gaining their trust, we know, from me trusting them

130
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: and them trusting me. You know, just just out there

131
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: just you know, just to get that field again. It

132
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: was amazing. I can't believe it. All right, practice you

133
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: maybe made the play of practice with the pick, and

134
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: then I heard you say a little bit as you

135
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: walked over. You're like, yeah, baiting him some of the things.

136
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: It's a defensive back. When you're talking about, oh I baited.

137
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: What were you trying to get the quarterback to do

138
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: before you could end up making that pick? Uh? Just

139
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: to just to see my jester of you know, it

140
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: was like basically a high low constept, you know, bating

141
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: like I'm playing the low end, you know, go get

142
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: the high constep. That's all I did. Wasn't nothing you

143
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: know on my end wasn't nothing spectacular beside to catch obviously,

144
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: but you know, just playing man games with the quarterback.

145
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: That's all it is. It is it just playing mind

146
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: games at the quarterback. And obviously every time you go

147
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: to a higher level you can do different things. Um

148
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: as you go with this group of dbs, you got

149
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: a lot of guys back. There's a lot of energy

150
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: in that room. Once that group of dbs, like in

151
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: a defensive beating room, man, the energy is so high. U.

152
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: You know, those guys are amazing learning each and every

153
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: day every day. You know, things that you know they've

154
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,000

162
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I teach them just a little small

163
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: thing like coaching details. You know. I just try to

167
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: grabbing lunch, you know, just ask some questions, keeping money toes,

168
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: keeping them short. Has a Florida, Alabama argument started between

169

Speaker 1: you two at all yet? Or is that too to

170
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: happen later, to happen later for a show. I know

171
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: it's good. I know it's gonna happen. Okay. I started

172
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago and it's been a good hit.

173
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna keep it going because it's opportunities. Say

Speaker 1: Love it. So say something nice about Bradley Roby. Ask

185
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm just thank you for those I didn't know. Sham

186
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: went back to Alabama and was there in the spring

187
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one coaching, and right when spring football

188
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: was over, he got an opportunity to come here and

189
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: try for the Texans and he's been here ever since.

190
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: That's why I call him coach Carter. So he's very

191
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: very good, very smart football player, and that pick today

192
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: was something else. Now a guy who was also a

193
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: very smart football player, and he is tremendous on the air,

194
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: one of the best analysts you're gonna find anywhere. It's

195
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: our good friend Andre where we cut up with Drey

196
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: this morning, and of course you know we had to

197
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: ask Hi about the quarterbacks. Very impressed and in terms

198
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: of how he the team, I commanded the offense. He

199
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: wasn't just throwing check downs like you see a lot

200
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: of guys doing the preseason, and he averaged the ten

201
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: yards for completion at the limited time that he was

202
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: in and they went right down for points on the board.

203
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: So you had to be impressed with the way to

204
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: Roger Dre Davis, Davis Mills. I think of all the

205
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: rookies or young quarterbacks, I think he made me threw

206
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: the ball more. He threw it twenty two times. I

207
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: only threw it more than any of the drafted rookies

208
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: in complete eleven of twenty two, even a couple of incompletions.

209
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: The deep ball he threw the first one Anthony Miller

210
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: was actually I thought, a pretty pretty good throw. But

211
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: what overall first rookie action, And luckily we had to

212
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: see in the preseason. What'd you think of Davis Mills

213
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: throwing it on Saturday? Well, I thought he rebounded, well,

214
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, after a kind of a shaky start so

215
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: to speak, rebounded, composed himself and then was able to

216
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: move the team. And I think all that goes into that,

217
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: all of you know, he started to look at how

218
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: debanding camp house, you know he programmed. I think the

219
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: progression is there the way you would want it to

220
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: be as a coaching staff and as as a teammate

221
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: as well. Then us looking at him and kind of

222
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: giving our two cents, so to speak. I think he's

223
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: done a heck of a job in a small period

224
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: of time and with limited risks. And I mean that

225
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of game risks. He didn't get a

226
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: lot of them. In college, only one season as a starter,

227
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden finds himself in the

228
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: NFL preseason game. What about the defense, Andre what we

229
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: saw frought, the pressure they got on the past or

230
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. Yeah, that was. That was refreshing

231
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: to see. I think the whole thing Saturday night was

232
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: refreshing to see. Everything was was. You had to love

233
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: what you saw and stay with me here for Sega.

234
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: I'll go back to the defense. But um, I don't

235
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: know what the staff is doing from a bottom how

236
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: they set things up, meetings, teams, drills. We're not a

237
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: part of all that stuff. But whatever it is, don't

238
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: change the thing. Just build on what you're doing, because

239
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: this is probably the most repaired team for a first

240
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: printseason game that I think I've ever seen since I've

241
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: been doing this, and I'm talking offense, defense, and specialty.

242
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: It was refreshing to see all the way down to

243
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: being able to have a conversation with the head coach

244
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: on the way into the stadium and it was smiles

245
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: and giggles and all of it. Everything was just refreshing overall.

246
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: So don't change the thing. Keep the team going in

247
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: the direction that it's going because it's refreshing to see

248
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: now to answer your questions, eventually, answer us was there,

249
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: There was, turnovers were created. Tremon Smith came up with

250
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: a big interception after an interference call, so it's next

251
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: play and you hear that that cliche so much, but

252
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: not a lot of players are able to do that,

253
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: but he was able to do it after big and

254
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: afarious play, came up with a big interception. Ross blass

255
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: Clock I think played an outstanding football game and Grouse

256
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Eel he was the guy that was after the passer,

257
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: made a couple of excellent plays both and run defense

258
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: and arrested the passers. So from top to bottom about

259
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: the defense, it was a sound performance. Drey. There's obviously

260
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: so much new on this team, but there are ten

261
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: guys five last year of twenty twenties draft class, five

262
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: this year the twenty twenty one draft class. That playing

263
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: a preseason game for the you know for the first time,

264
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of guys playing a preseason

265
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: game for the Texas for the first time. You've been

266
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: in preseason games, you've been in regular season games, and

267
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: you obviously were rookie once. Hey, can you imagine last

268
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: year's rookie classes jumping right into the regular season and

269
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: being ready to go like they were asked to and

270
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: be how important do you think it actually is for

271
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: young guys to kind of work the kinks out in

272
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: preseason games before the regular season lights go on. It

273
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: is because there's build up to every season, and every

274
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: everything is a progression in football. I mean the preseason,

275
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: the training camp leads into the preseason, the preseason legion

276
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: into the regular season. The regular season has an effect

277
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: obviously on what you do and how you play in

278
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs and so on and so forth. So yeah,

279
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: that's a tough that's a tough task. But given the

280
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: fact that you know you got the entire regular season

281
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: to work guys in. This goes back to the coaching

282
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: staff and the job that they've done. Even with those

283
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: players that Charlie x of the world on this team

284
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock, where I mentioned Jonathan Grenard who had a

285
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: big pig to play in the game. The k all

286
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: this trust, all of us being able to coach all this.

287
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: They did able to get the most notable player, how

288
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: to communicate with certain guys can get the most These

289
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: guys were all left for game last year and so

290
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: to see him perform the way they did Saturday night

291
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: is refreshing. It lets me know that this staff to

292
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: coach and I can't wait to see more on them.

293
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: All Right, that'll be Saturday night against the Cowboys at

294
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: seven o'clock. Hey, the Colts, they don't have Carson Wentz

295
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: available for a bit and Quentin Nelson and yesterday they

296
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: go with Jacob Eason and Sam Ellinger. What do you

297
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: think of their situation at quarterback? Andre and including Wentzon

298
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: too the mix their shot this year to overtake the Titans,

299
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: overtake the division, and obviously we'll have to deal with

300
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: them twice this campaign as we always do. I like,

301
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: I always kind of over back to the days in

302
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Georgia and he's a pink, physical guy that can push

303
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. He's partner to play with

304
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence. I think he's playing for one

305
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: of the better developers of quarterbacks in the league. And

306
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: Frank right, so you're going to see a tremendous player emerged.

307
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: He will be in the future, as not being in Indianapolis.

308
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: I haven't been crazy about Carson Wentz. Don't don't get

309
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: any way he's done before that. Just when they traded

310
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: for him, I was actually happy because I don't think

311
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: he'll finish a seventeen game schedule when somebody else that

312
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: was prepared and maybe the timing works out where the

313
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: Texas get him at that time without to step on

314
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: the field. But Esan shares more soil than Carson wins

315
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: because just he's big as mobile, he's got a great arm.

316
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: I saw it yesterday watching that game. He's getting a

317
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: better command of what they do offensively. Uh scope, I'm

318
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: not gonna rush to see Jacob Eason. I know he's young,

319
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: but but they've got enough around him to protect him

320
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: for a while, especially with their their staple of running backs.

321
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: You've got good receivers this year. I'm not more afraid

322
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: of Easton than I am. Went that that makes no

323
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: sense to a lot of people of my eyes showing

324
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: me that. I mean, there's with Ethan that big arm

325
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: and what you can do. There's some things with those

326
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: receivers that he might be he might be scarier overall

327
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: from a physical tool standpoint, there's no doubt dre Saturday afternoon,

328
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: before we went over the stadium, Chicago was playing Miami.

329
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: It was two of versus Justin Fields, as everybody wanted

330
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: to point out, and the end, Justin Fields maybe broke

331
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: the internet with his performance. Look it was against Miami's twos, etc.

332
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 1: I don't know how much. I mean, I didn't get

333
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: to watch all of it, but just the buzz around

334
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: Justin Field. In your opinion, how long does it take

335
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: for Justin to take over as QB one for Andy

336
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: Dalton in Chicago? Not long? Not long at all. And

337
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just I look at that situation and

338
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: the complete command of what was going on on the

339
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: field of the moment when to be iding. That goes

340
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: back to playing in some big games in Ohio State

341
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: games that are you know, under the lights, so to speak.

342
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: But he's just a physical freak, both running a football

343
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: or a couple of runs that he had where he

344
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: pulled the ball down and makes and plays with the lays.

345
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: He made smart decisions in the passing game and lived

346
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: when he needed to at times. And I don't think

347
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be long before he's on the field.

348
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: I think his teammates may decide that or helpe to

349
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: make that decision, because it's never really the coaching staff

350
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: that makes the decision on who plays. It might be

351
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: in some places where it's forced genuinely at the quarterback position,

352
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: that there's a competition going on the team will play

353
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: better for one guy than the other. And I think

354
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: that's going to be the situation in Chicago. Adjustin fields.

355
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: All right, let's turn our attack to the college football

356
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: with are ware right now. Okay, tre what do you think.

357
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: We haven't talked to you about this publicly, Longhorns, soitors

358
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: SEC your thoughts, man, I think it starts to trickle

359
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: down effect. Mark going into the SEC. There aren't any

360
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: Kansas states, Kansases and so on and so forth, and

361
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: night conference. You're gonna line up and play every single week,

362
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: So be careful what you ask for. But they're going there.

363
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: When is the question the infasis has been answered? It's

364
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: going to make the SEC comper. This is the start.

365
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: I think four sixteen team leagues where you know there'll

366
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: be four super conferences, so to speak, and how the

367
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: Pack twelve fills out with adding four teams, and how

368
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: the Big Big ten they add a couple of teams

369
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: along with the ACC. But I think the Big twelve

370
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: this starts to devise of the Big twelve because they're

371
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: going to those conferences that are just named, are going

372
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: to poach programs from the Big twelve. They're gonna struggle

373
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: to survive. If if I'm the University of US, I

374
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: might have said this, I haven't said this publicly, but

375
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: it's not the Big twelve. I'm looking to go to everybody.

376
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: They thought it's Uston would be a natural fit. No,

377
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: I'm looking to go to the Back twelve because they

378
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: don't have a footprint in tech this year or a

379
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: TV market here that it will allow them the ability

380
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: to come to Texas and recruit even more so than

381
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: they have been in previous years. So Big twelves in trouble,

382
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: and I think we're all fit for a fourteen super

383
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: conference for super conferences across the boom. I want USC

384
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: at TDECU Stadium. Let's go, baby, sign me up for that.

385
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: Would love it. I love to see it. Oh, I

386
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: mean Cooks, Cooks would love the trip to LA I

387
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: mean that's I'll obviously seeing the church, and I mean

388
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: that's the one team that stands out. I'll be I'll

389
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: be interested to see how the Pac twelve. But Drey's

390
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: absolutely right. I've thought about this. I've had conversations with

391
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: other people. I talk David Fletcher about this. University Houston

392
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: on the Big twelve PAC twelve, that's the one. That's

393
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: the one I think. I think Drey's right the Big twelve,

394
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: But Dre on this on this season, it feels because

395
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: Alabama lost so much offense Lee and I look out

396
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: of the reloading at a number of spots. Georgia's multi talented.

397
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: You know, Oklahoma's actually got a little bit of a defense.

398
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: Then I know we're not all the way to that

399
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: season yet. But as you look at the top teams

400
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: in college football, is there one that stands out to

401
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: you more than any others? Maybe that some other people

402
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: aren't talking about. Are one that you like over others?

403
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: A not really, Johnny. I think it's the same cast

404
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: of characters, because when you look at a team like

405
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: Alabama and I'll grow Clemson in there as well as

406
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: well as Ohio State. For years, I'm saying, there's got

407
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: to be a drop off. You know, you can't lose

408
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: this much as much talent and there, you know, and

409
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: come back and to exactly what he did in the

410
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: previous years. They always seem to do it last year

411
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: with Mike Tones at quarterback, Alabama might take a back

412
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: because he's in experience. You know, he becomes a top

413
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: a first round pick and leads them to the national championship. So, uh,

414
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: that's that's one program that there threes would be ones

415
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: on a lot of a lot and a lot of

416
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: programs across the country at Clemson and the job the

417
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: Davil has done, and then I think Kurbie smarter and

418
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: George is starting to build that way. Look out for

419
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: the Florida Gators. That's that's one. If they can get

420
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: it right at the quarterbacks with counsels now in the NFL,

421
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: I think Dan Mullen will will surprise a lot of

422
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: people this year. So there's one that could come out

423
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: of nowhere and that no one was really talking about

424
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: right now. I think it could be the University of Florida.

425
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: Great stuff there from our dude Andre where and yes,

426
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: University of Florida, keep an eye in the name Emery Jones.

427
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: He will take over four Kyle Trask and he is

428
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: dying now. He was essentially their running quarterback when they

429
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: wanted to take Trask out and give a different look,

430
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: kind of a more of a running look, quarterback counters,

431
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: quarterback powers, those kind of things. They would put Emery

432
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: Jones back there, and he tore it up and apparently

433
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: had a really good spring throwing football. And if he

434
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: is on it, like well think he is, Florida could

435
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: absolutely be a surprise over to the SEC. All right,

436
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: we get back. Let's hear from the General John McLain

437
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: right here on Texans All Access
