00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 4: time to go. The players have been in the building today.

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 4: See numerous guys going out for conditioning tests. Got the

13
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 4: cleats going out on the grass.

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's an official conditioning test, because

15
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: point can they not have one last year, the year

16
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: before something. I think Demiko Ryans has a philosophy about this.

17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: We'll hear about it tomorrow anyway. Yeah, he's better come

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: back in shape.

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 3: Yeah. I saw a bunch of guys going out there.

20
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they were definitely working out and they've been well,

21
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: we've been talking about it. They've been working out an

22
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: awful lot. If they don't, we're kind of in trouble

23
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: here because this is what they do. They worked out

24
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: they played football, so good thing. And you saw the

25
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: CJ social media throwing session sessions he had with various

26
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: Texans players, very good, and a bunch of other guys

27
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: doing a bunch of other things. So we're good to go.

28
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: But tonight, since the offseason ends, we're gonna say goodbye

29
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,640

Speaker 1: this amazing awards show. And by that I mean not really,

33
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: but we're gonna go over it. So let's start here

34
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: with the categories. Are you ready, Okay, let's go.

35
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: Let's go.

36
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: Best off season moment? What was the best moment of

37
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: the offseason? Now, this could be something personal for you

38
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: or preferably a Texans moment or related to the Houston Texans.

39
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: Do you have a best I have two? Go go okay?

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: My first one.

41
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: You know how I feel about sting I love the dude,

42
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: I love family, I love just I love I love

43
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 4: sting He's fantastic and driving in. It was not long

44
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 4: after the combine and it was like, Wow, Derek Stingley's

45
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: just signed an extension to stay here. Now, I didn't

46
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: in my mind think that Sting was gonna leave. That

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: was not and I don't think and he he was

48
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 4: asked about it, and he's like, and I work itself out.

49
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: I want to be in Houston, but to sign the extension,

50
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: to be given the money, as humble, as quiet as

51
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 4: he is, and he just goes out and he performs.

52
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: And then I get here that day and he's out

53
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: in the hallway working with Nico and like thirty other

54
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 4: guys that are here, and I'm like, whoa this is?

55
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: This is different. So I I just I was so

56
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 4: glad to see him rewarded. I was glad to see

57
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: Jalen and Daniel as well, those guys being Houstonians.

58
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: That was That was cool.

59
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 4: But you know, Sting's, you know, been my guy, and

60
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: I love him and I think everything that just watching him,

61
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: he's he's the best corner. I've seen what he can

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: do on a field. He's the best corner of the

63
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: league right now. And I think in four or five

64
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 4: years we'll be talking about, you know, hopefully a trip

65
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: to Canton. But gotta stay healthy. You got to put

66
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: a lot more years and in front. But just to

67
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 4: see him sign the extension now was really cool because

68
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 4: I love that dude.

69
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: I like the fact that Nick gets these guys done

70
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: early or at least early ISHU right, because what happens

71
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: from an organizational organizational standpoint, you are looking at having

72
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: to pay more later. Right, somebody's gonna beat your contract. Yeah,

73
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: if you're one of the first ones to sign.

74
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: You know this as a player too.

75
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: But they want to get it behind them and eventually

76
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: it'll all work itself out. So go ahead, sign the deal.

77
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: It's a very lucrative deal, great arrangement for both parts. Yes,

78
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: sauceage deals worth.

79
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: More, right, but yuh, but the guaranteed money is more

80
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: for staying, so that's good.

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and that's what they really care about.

82
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: It just depends are you looking at the backside, the front,

83
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: the top side down?

84
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: You know, it just depends on how you look at

85
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: helped to play a decade plus and you get to

86
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: the third deal.

87
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: But I think you know.

88
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 4: JJ Watt has talked about this this offseason about how

89
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: players feel with extensions, and obviously his brother TJ was

90
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: going through it, and negotiations can.

91
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 3: Be weird and tough and all that, and it was like.

92
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: This, That's why I think this extension, the actually the extension,

93
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: the all three extensions that were signed with Jalen and

94
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: Danil and Westing, they all happened well in advance of OTAs.

95
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 4: Even so it was like, you get your stuff done.

96
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 4: The negotiation doesn't have to get public. It's not made public.

97
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: And you look at as a juxtaposition, look at the

98
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 4: Cowboys and the Bengals right now. Oh, Trey Hendrickson just

99
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 4: put on just posted from his Instagram the sun fading.

100
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 4: Uh in Florida. He went back to Florida. He was

101
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 4: in Cincinnati. He said, screw this, he went.

102
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: Back to Florida. Wow, you get Jerry Jones.

103
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 4: I was talking about Michael Parsons like he's a criminal,

104
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 4: Like what we what are we doing here? So it's

105
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: like to see what this organization has done as it

106
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: pertains to extensions. I just I just appreciate the way

107
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 4: that handled it. Here's my second favorite moment. Okay, and

108
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 4: you and I do ninety seven point eight percent of

109
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 4: our off season radio together.

110
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: Everything right, everything except for your moment is gonna be

111
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: something without me.

112
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 4: A small part on Saturday of the draft when Sean

113
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: was driving the show. You were here, but he was

114
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 4: driving the show as he always does, and the Texans

115
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 4: traded up and.

116
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: Went and got my guy, wood He Marks. Ooh that

117
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: was I was.

118
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 4: I was dumbfounded because I've been a big fan of

119
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: Woody Marks for a couple of years.

120
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: Went out to USC.

121
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 4: I thought he had a good year rush over forral

122
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 4: one thousand yards and forty seven catches. I just loved them,

123
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 4: Mississippi State, what he's all about. I knew he was swarming.

124
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: I knew he was impressive of the Senior Bowl, and

125
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: I was just hoping that we you know, I don't

126
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 4: say we paid attention, but that was hoping that well,

127
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 4: like that made an impact on our staff, on our

128
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 4: personnel guys and the scouts, et cetera. So when they

129
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 4: drafted him, it was that, Okay, I was I was

130
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 4: right about him, I mean, right, wrong, whatever, But I

131
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: felt like there weren't a lot of people talking about

132
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 4: what he marks, and they were just like, he's gonna

133
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: go on the seventh round. He's gonna be a you know, undraft,

134
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: the free agent or whatever. I'm like, I don't know,

135
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: I think this guy's one of the top ten backs

136
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 4: in his draft. I was very convinced to that, and

137
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 4: I wrote about it on my draft site, football taker

138
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 4: dot com. I was like, when I did my rankings

139
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 4: the running backs, he was up there and it was

140
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 4: a really good draft for running backs, and so it

141
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 4: just they're selecting him. They're moving up to select him,

142
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 4: just kind of validated in my mind what I was seeing, Like, Okay,

143
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: I saw a guy that could come in and impact

144
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 4: right away, that was an early day three guy, and

145
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: saw it the same way. I love when those moments

146
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 4: come together. But I also thought, and I do think,

147
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: even though we haven't seen him in a training camp

148
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: practice yet, I still think what he marks has got

149
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: a future with this organization, which's gonna be very fun

150
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: to watch him grow.

151
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: But those are those are my two. How about you?

152
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: What's yours?

153
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So best offseason moment I think was Nick trading

154
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: out of the first round. That was, yes, now I

155
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: say this, look at the draft party because he got

156
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: out of the first round, and it was like, Okay,

157
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean what we talked about this happening, right, he

158
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: might drop out of the first round, and then what

159
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do?

160
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: Right? Right?

161
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Are we gonna move back into the first No, he

162
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: just got out. We're done, go home. Everybody drives safely.

163
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: We always hypothesized about that kind of night, that that

164
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: could happen at a draft party. But I think the

165
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: way it went down with the rainstorm as far as

166
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: the draft party itself goes, because that kind of cleared

167
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: out a lot of a casual fans, all of them

168
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: and he casual fan going down there to check out

169
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: the draft party. They were out, they were done that.

170
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: It was big. It was big. And we were talking

171
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: at the media party last night media reception with Reggie

172
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: and John and Reggie and John helping us bring the

173
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: gear into the George R.

174
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: Brown Convention Center. But the way it played out, I

175
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: always knew.

176
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: This could happen with Nick Casserio, especially dropping out of

177
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: the first round, So that to me is memorable. Now,

178
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: I'll it's hard to say it's the best, but I'm

179
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: gonna call it the best.

180
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna label it that way. All right.

181
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Here's another category, Best of the off Season Awards, because

182
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: this is the last night of the off season.

183
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: It is over as camp against tomorrow.

184
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: Most memorable moment is there a memorable moment not necessarily

185
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: the best. It could be something really bad. Actually, it

186
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: could be something terrible that happened. I don't know, but

187
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: it's got a memorable moment for you that you will

188
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: take with you.

189
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: Oh.

190
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: Sitting in studio and was just kind of working on

191
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 4: kind of getting ready for the show that particular day,

192
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 4: and got a text from our buddy Salcopaccio, silid reporter

193
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: for the Bills, and it just said they traded Tunsil.

194
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: And I just remember seeing that and I was like,

195
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: I knew it.

196
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 4: I had kind of felt like just the way the

197
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 4: season went and the extensions that had to be signed,

198
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 4: there's a financial component to it. There was, you know,

199
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: an overall offensive line performance component to it, kind of

200
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 4: a renovation to go into the house of offensive line.

201
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: I wasn't totally surprised. And then it.

202
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: Becomes okay, Wow, this is going to shake the foundation.

203
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: This is gonna be talked about for a while. What

204
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: now is the plan? And then that followed up with

205
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 4: a couple of other moves. But I thought the return

206
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,119
Speaker 4: that Nick was able to get back from the commanders

207
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 4: for Laramie was okay, Yeah. What I didn't want was, Hey,

208
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: DeAndre Hopkins has traded. What'd you get? You got a

209
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: bag of balls? Like, what are we doing? We traded

210
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 4: Laramie and you end up Okay, that's a pretty decent

211
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 4: haul back, Like I can I can understand it. Laramie

212
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 4: gets a fresh start in Washington and we got a

213
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 4: fresh start here in Houston, trying to revamp that that

214
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 4: offensive line. But I just remember seeing that text from

215
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: him and then my text and Mike mentions like what

216
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 4: is going on?

217
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: What's happening?

218
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: And I just had an inkling that that was gonna happen,

219
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 4: just kind of how everything went through the season and

220
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 4: how they wanted to reset that, and we talked about

221
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: it on the air. Was like the one component that

222
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 4: just kind of lacked that swarming ness consistently was on

223
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 4: the offensive line, and I felt like they were trying

224
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: to reset that. So if they had to go with

225
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 4: a player that's not as talented as Laramie, but they

226
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 4: could come up with a better group overall, then they

227
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 4: were gonna go do it. But I just remember when

228
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 4: that went down, it.

229
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: Was like, holy crap, they traded Tunsel.

230
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was that kind of feeling at first, like

231
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: just immediately, and then I was like I can't say

232
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: I was totally surprised by it.

233
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: It's true that the time you acquired Laramie Labor Day

234
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: weekend twenty nineteen and the time you traded him are

235
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: both so memorable. They were such seismic moments in the

236
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: history of this organization. And thank him for his service

237
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: absolutely winning how many division titles here when you look

238
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: at it, three very nice part of three playoff victories

239
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: as well. Thank you, Laramie for all that you've done

240
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans. And let's hope the offensive line

241
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: collectively gets a whole lot better.

242
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: What's your answer that one?

243
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: All right?

244
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: So, for me, memorable is more personal, but it relates

245
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: to the fans because the season ticket member State of

246
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: the Texans event on the floor of NRG Stadium was

247
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: so memorable to me. Everybody was so loud. It's like

248
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: a rock concert. Introducing Nick and Tamico Ryance to the crowd.

249
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: Being able to be a part of that and watch

250
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: the reaction of people to Miko so charismatic. It's done

251
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: such a good job. The McNair's get so much love.

252
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I love those offseason moments of Texans Love Baby,

253
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: because you're oh and oh, and so much hope and

254
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: optimism and excitement for the upcoming season.

255
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 3: You know, then we have to start playing games.

256
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: And sometimes those are angered, stress filled defense, right, and

257
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: they go well more often than not the last couple

258
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: of years. But man, oh man, I mean I love

259
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: that stress. I live for that stress. I live for

260
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: that conflict. You know, you want to have that you

261
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: want to have those dramatic moments, and we've had so

262
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: many of them.

263
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: I remember when you back at twenty fourteen when you

264
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: brought me long did the sidelines and you're like, man,

265
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: you know we get to do Monday night football games

266
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh because that was where we were playing, and

267
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 4: it was just like that hit me at that point.

268
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 4: It was like wow, you be on the field, Yeah,

269
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 4: this is wild, Like okay, yeah, this is great, and

270
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 4: you're right. Like Thursday night games, you know, the Sunday

271
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: night game against the Lions, like that atmosphere was humble

272
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: because they bought they brought fans too.

273
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 3: That was an unbelievable environment that night.

274
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: Just wish the stress ins uh, distress, but the stress

275
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: that goes with it, But the stressens Guy Garrett, who

276
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: tweets a lot and he uses a lot of our

277
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: content and thank you for doing that, because he repurposes

278
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: it and gives us credit and promotes it. But he

279
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: I think he posted recently, I cannot believe we lost

280
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: this game. He's posting a video from the game, and

281
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: I think it's from the Netflix. Uh, maybe it wasn't

282
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: from the Lions. Oh from the Quarterback Show. Yeah, he said,

283
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe we lost, And it's one of those

284
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: games you can't.

285
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: There's some games where how did we pull this out?

286
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: Like Tampa Bay two years ago? How did we pull

287
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: this one out? They take the lead with thirty seven

288
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: seconds left. Well, with the Detroit game, how do you

289
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: lose this one? Picking off GoF five times and doing

290
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: what you did but unable to close the deal. Anyway,

291
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: we don't have to get it. I have to get

292
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,400

Speaker 4: were and seeing the pride on their you know, just

315
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 4: on their faces for what that they meant. And then

316
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 4: a couple months later down to Costa Rica, just you know,

317
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 4: busting ass working out and that was just really cool.

318
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 4: But it's always with stinging. To everybody knows sting that

319
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 4: doesn't say a whole heck of a lot. But when

320
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 4: the two of us talk about ball, when we talk about, hey,

321
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 4: what happened on this interception, like when I asked him

322
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: about the type the first Tyreek interception where he on

323
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 4: the fourth down where he made the catch on the sideline,

324
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 4: which he didn't get off of credit for that catch,

325
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 4: but he took me through about two two and a

326
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 4: half minutes of why he thought that play was going

327
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 4: to go the way that it did, and just hearing

328
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 4: his thought process and knowing how smart he is and

329
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 4: what he's thinking about during a game. It was like,

330
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 4: that's my guy, Like, that's that's a football IQ and

331
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 4: then some and so sitting and celebrating the fact that

332
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 4: he's going to be here for another you know, three years,

333
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 4: you know, beyond the end of his first deals, rookie deal,

334
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: it was just it was really exciting. So that was

335
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 4: that was a fun one. And I'll give you the

336
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 4: other one that you and I did during media days

337
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 4: because we didn't know whether he was going to be back.

338
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: We had a thought maybe, but even banged up, he

339
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 4: was rehabbing and he signed really really late in the offseason,

340
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: and that was fully fought Acasi and for some reason

341
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: the two of us have just hit it off with

342
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 4: him and he's one of our faves and he came

343
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 4: in studio and it was like, you know, three long

344
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: lost brothers, like seeing each other for the first time

345
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 4: in a long time.

346
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: It was just it was really cool.

347
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 4: We had a good talk with him, and you know,

348
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: he's got you know, he's he's a proud New Yorker,

349
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: you know, but he's so he's so happy to sit

350
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: in the studio with us and happy to be with

351
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 4: his team.

352
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: And he's the force we have needed in the middle.

353
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: And even though PFF and their grades and all that,

354
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 4: I think is nonsense that he's really good against the

355
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 4: rum but I think he's really good for this team

356
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 4: and just the environment and the culture here. That was

357
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 4: a really fun interview when we got India that damn

358
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: media days.

359
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: Okay, So my best interview, my most memorable, best interview

360
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: Jayleen Petree when he was being honored by Stafford Juneteenth

361
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: celebration and the fact that he was Walter Payton Man

362
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: of the Year. Now, the need for this team, and

363
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: I just worked an event with him last week as well,

364
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: But that interview to me, just seeing the growth of

365
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: Petrie as a person, I mean, he came in here

366
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: the finished products compared to a lot of people as

367
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: a person you can just tell. And I talked about

368
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: the Dimico Ryans factor that he had that leadership. This

369
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: is way before Dimiko was ever hired here, thought to

370
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: be hired as a head coach. This is when Lovey

371
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: was coaching here. But I said that guy's like safety

372
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: Demiico Ryans, Jalen Petrie, and I love that he got

373
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: inked that he's still here. I loved that interview. Just

374
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: felt like home with him. You know that he's one

375
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: of these Texans that I hope is a lifelong Texan

376
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: and I always want to see him around this building.

377
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: Media days will be unforgettable because forty interviews. That was

378
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: a record for us in one day. And we're going

379
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: to air the last of those tonight because that's it

380
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: the off season's.

381
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 4: Oh, I know another interview too, What I know another

382
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 4: interview and he's one of our favorites, and that's Daria.

383
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: Yeah whatever Dares every time every time he comes in there.

384
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 3: You know, we can throw anything at We missed another

385
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 3: one though, go on, we.

386
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 4: Can throw He could throw anything at him and he

387
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: he can handle it. But we asked him about, you know,

388
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: past protection being a third down back, and he kind

389
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 4: of took us back to guys that he had been

390
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 4: that it really kind of taught him, taught him the

391
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 4: way to do it. And he mentioned to Quiz Rogers, yeah,

392
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 4: is the nephew of one of my really good friends.

393
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 4: And so Quiz you know, and Quiz is like sting,

394
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 4: Quiz don't say a whole lot, but he's a smart

395
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 4: football player, has overseen He's like five six, but like

396
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 4: two hundred and ten pounds. He was like a moving

397
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 4: brick when they did. He was here with the Falcons

398
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 4: at twenty fourteen with hard knocks. Yeah, and I remember

399
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: my buddy asking him, like, so camera's following you, and

400
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 4: he just looked at him like, come on, man, you

401
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 4: know me, And so he just he avoided spotlight. Was

402
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 4: all about ball.

403
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 3: He was.

404
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 2: He's the greatest player at my high school.

405
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: And so I always love Quiz and I just found

406
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 4: it ironic that it was Quiz that that Dari mentions

407
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 4: as being one of the guys that really helped him

408
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 4: out kind of learned, you know, the way of the fist,

409
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 4: if you will.

410
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: And I just thought that it was really really cool

411
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 3: to hear that. But dark obrah Kai reference.

412
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 4: It's funny because I just wrote, and I'm writing this

413
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 4: so make sure you guys check it out Houston Texas

414
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 4: dot com. So as training camp is going on, you

415
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 4: need a training camp primer. So I've split it up

416
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 4: an offense defense. Offense hopefully is gonna be posted today

417
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 4: defense in the morning. But I got I did it

418
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 4: by position. I got the running back. I almost pulled

419
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: Darry out in his own position because it's almost as

420
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 4: if I don't even count him in the running backs anymore,

421
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 4: because it's more than just the running back, Like it's

422
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: like the Darry position, like going forward. I feel like

423
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 4: the Texans, whether it's Daria Goombuwalle or you know, Darry

424
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 4: you know, eventually retires, like they've got to have somebody

425
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 4: that plays the Daria google Wally position.

426
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: Right, and what he marks might be a candidate maybe

427
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: what he is that guy You're gonna get the best

428
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: you always do, but you're gonna get even more out

429
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: of Dara. Yeah, if that's possible, right, because there's competition,

430
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: and we'll be talking about that.

431
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 2: During our canals, I hope.

432
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: So I don't know, Daria can't. I still is that

433
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 3: a factor though?

434
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 4: You know what that not even however, That moment will

435
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 4: go down for me, especially because we won that game.

436
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 4: That moment will go down for me when I think about, like, oh,

437
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: special moments in this building, like that's a it's a

438
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 4: weird one because we want some playoff games here. We've

439
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 4: had some incredible moments in big games.

440
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 3: It's a top twenty for sure. It's a top That.

441
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 4: One is a surprise underrated top fifteen, top twenty moment.

442
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: Because you're right, they ended up they ended up winning

443
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: the game after trailing with thirty seven seconds, they ended

444
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: up winning the game. And it was the first really

445
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: magical day for Tamiko right right now. The Jacksonville went

446
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: down there was pretty magical because Jacksonville's coming off the.

447
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: Playoff win and they are the.

448
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: AFC South favorites and you just throttled them at their place, So, hey,

449
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: what's happening here?

450
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 3: Is this a playoff team? I knew we were going

451
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: to be better. Is this a playoff team?

452
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: And then you beat Tampa Bay later and you're thinking, oh,

453
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: this could be a playoff team, but we're kind of

454
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: hovering around five hundred or so, and then obviously you

455
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: know what happened down the stretch. Uh, here's another category. Oh,

456
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: by the way, memorable interviews. Every time we visit with

457
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: Frank Ross.

458
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: Oh, I saw him today.

00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: I saw him to it. He told me that listening.

460
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 3: He said his dad listens.

461
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: So he was in the car with his dad for

462
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: a long ride. He's like, my dad listens to you

463
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: guys all the time. Hello, mister Ross, thank you for listening.

464
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: So that means Frank was listening. But he enjoyed it

465
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: and learned a lot about the Texans. Now I think

466
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: he already knew all that he heard. So here's another

467
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: category for you, Best of the off season. Our last category,

468
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: best talent infusion in a position group. Now this is

469
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: multiple players, or it could just be one player added

470
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: to a position group. But what position group added the

471
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: most talent this offseason? What is your vote?

472
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 4: Well, I was gonna thought this was enough to spit

473
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 4: one out, and then I thought of another one.

474
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 3: A lot of this we're not gonna know until we see.

475
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with my

476
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 4: first thought, and it was what we were just talking about.

477
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 4: It was only well, I take it back, Well, it

478
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 4: depends on how you classify full backs.

479
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go with the running backs.

480
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 4: Okay, because full backs camp, you add at full back,

481
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 4: you add Yakub Johnson, yep two hundred and seventy pounds, Hammer,

482
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 4: German Hammer.

483
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 3: But then you draft Woody Marx.

484
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 4: You think, okay, there's a lot of talk about adding

485
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 4: a running back during the draft. They add one with

486
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 4: Woody Marx, and you know how excited I got about that.

487
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: But then last week OTAs they had Nick Chubb.

488
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're looking around room going, wait a second,

489
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 4: what if that dude is fully healthy.

490
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: That's the biggest name acquisition, right for sure, it's the

491
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: biggest acquisition. If he's fully healthy. I feel like he

492
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 1: can have the biggest impact too. But it's just a

493
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: matter of you know, how healthy is how healthy is he?

494
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 3: How do they have to manage he and Joe?

495
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 4: And look, we don't know if Joe's gonna be available

496
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 4: for practice on Wednesday. And I'll be honest, I don't

497
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 4: need Joe to be ready to go on Wednesday.

498
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: I need him ready against the Rams, thank you.

499
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 4: That's exactly what we need Nick need. They need Nick

500
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 4: Chubb to be ready for the Rams. But by adding

501
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 4: what he marks in the fourth round early day three,

502
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 4: adding Nick Chubb. You just took running back from well,

503
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 4: I think I know what running back is gonna look

504
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 4: like to This is gonna be a no holds barred,

505
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 4: you know, barbed wire match to figure out what they're

506
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 4: gonna do as it pertains to keeping position players.

507
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: And I go back to this, this is gonna happen.

508
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 4: You watch fifty three man roster is gonna come out,

509
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 4: and they're like, they kept five running backs because they

510
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 4: will keep Daria Gumbowale, And I'll be like, no, they

511
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 4: kept four running back and then they.

512
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 3: Kept the dark d the Darry position.

513
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: Who's gonna play the daar Ah, I'm gonna go receiver.

514
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: That was the other one I was thinking of because

515
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 3: that's the other one I was thinking.

516
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: You're not comparing it to this time last year. You

517
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: got to compare it to what you ended up with

518
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: r which was half a season of Diggs, whatever you

519
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: got from Tank because he had injuries. Obviously Nico was

520
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: out five games. You're comparing it to that. To Nico,

521
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: I hate He's not a solo act. Okay, other guys

522
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: were playing receiver. They made plays. Your X had the

523
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: great play in the playoff game.

524
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 3: All of that.

525
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take away anything, but we know what

526
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: we're dealing with here. They added two draft choices, and

527
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: I can't tell you which one's gonna have more impact.

528
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: I would say Higgins, but no, looks really good. So

529
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: we'll see maybe neither, maybe both, who knows. But they

530
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: drafted those guys, and they acquired Christian Kirk and I

531
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: think and Watson justin Watson, so I think that's a

532
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: huge talent infusion into the mix. We don't know exactly

533
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: how that's all gonna look, but I'm really optimistic there.

534
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: I think that position group added a ton because the

535
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: others linebacker look health with Christian Harris would be great.

536
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 3: H E. J. Speed. That's a pretty good one right there.

537
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: D Line, you get rankings back.

538
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: Good, okay, CHERYLD Taylor on the edge, Yeah, Darryl Taylor

539
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: on the edge is nice. Just having everybody back on

540
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: D line right at end is tremendous. Plus Taylor, so

541
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: that's cool. Maybe Horton turns into something we talked about

542
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: him the other day.

543
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 3: O line, Yes, oh line.

544
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: Everyone's thinking O line right now as they're listening to this,

545
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: But we don't know what it's gonna look like and

546
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: I don't know if on paper it feels the same

547
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: as it does at receiver running back because you get

548
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: the big name Chub, you got what I mentioned at receiver.

549
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: But O line, if we're doing this show in February,

550
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: we talked about what was the biggest infusion of talent,

551
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: it could be the old line.

552
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: When it's all said and done, we'll see.

553
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 4: If we say that in February, then that means we

554
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 4: will have we will have gotten to the AFC Championship

555
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 4: Game or even the Super you think so, if we're

556
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 4: saying that in February, then then we will have gotten

557
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 4: that far.

558
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: This is not tonight's topic. But I don't view it

559
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: as a failure. If you don't get to the AFC

560
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: Championship Game, you have to be able to get to

561
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: that level, and uh, you know, get there is getting

562
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: there is really difficult, as you know. I mean, you're

563
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: gonna have a hell of a season to get back

564
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: to the divisional round. That's that's how I look at Yeah, absolutely,

565
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: and I mean that's in any context, that's a hell

566
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: of a season. Now can you get past that? That's

567
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: the big question. We're all here to watch.

568
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think, well, you just got to win

569
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 2: that next game.

570
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, you gotta get to the game to win.

571
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean that's it's that's harder than you would think.

572
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: You can't play that game tomorrow, you can't play that

573
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: game in September, but think.

574
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 4: About everything that has to go right. And everybody's like, well,

575
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 4: look at the Chiefs. Yeah, the Chiefs have done it

576
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 4: year after years, so it's a little different. You know,

577
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 4: the Bengals got there, you know, two years in a row,

578
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 4: and what have they done the last couple of years.

579
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 4: I haven't got back to the playoffs. Chris Ballard today

580
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 4: was up in front of the Colts media saying, yep,

581
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 4: we've been out of.

582
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 3: The playoffs for four straight years.

583
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: They've been out of the playoffs for four straight years.

584
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: And he's still employed, right, So it's like, it's not

585
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 3: you have to have some breaks around here.

586
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: If you've missed the playoffs for four years in a row,

587
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, did we do that?

588
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 3: Now? We missed it for three years in a row.

589
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: We missed it for three years in a row, and

590
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: it felt like a decade because you know, we're here

591
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: in the broadcast boots because they're still working on our studio.

592
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: We're looking at AFC South Championship banners. I know it's

593
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: not exactly like you know what's hanging in the rafters

594
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: of Boston Garden or the Staples Center or you know, Chiefs.

595
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: Kingdom or New England.

596
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: You know what you look at that that's a lot

597
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: of playoff appearances right there.

598
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 3: Over the last decade plus.

599
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 4: ESPN is doing a Chiefs documentary called The Kingdom.

600
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna vomit, like, can we stop this? Oh, I'm

601
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: gonna vomit, Like do we have to keep all the time.

602
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: I won't even watch it, you know what, I'll watch

603
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: it ten years from now to be interesting, like, oh, yeah, look,

604
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: they were really good.

605
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 3: Oh watch it. I know you will. Do you just

606
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: tell me how it is. I'll count on your all.

607
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: Right, Tim Settle coming up next to m Jay Stewart

608
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: and who knows what else. As we continue here on

609
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: Texans Radio, let's get into some player conversations on the

610
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: eve of the start of training camp. Can't wait now?

611
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: Tim Settle is one of those guys who can't wait.

612
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: Big defensive lineman joined the team last year. Great to

613
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: have him back, and this is one of the interviews

614
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: we got during the mini camp portion of the offseason,

615
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: Tim Settle Johnny starts us off.

616
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: Tim, what year is this eight?

617
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 5: This is your eight?

618
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 3: You're eight?

619
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 5: Dang?

620
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: How is Tim Settle You're eight different than Tim Settles

621
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 4: a rookie.

622
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: What's the biggest thing? Because I know there's probably a

623
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: few things, but what's the biggest thing?

Speaker 6: like that's what's gonna make us a better unit.

640
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: As all, you know, watching the d line and offseason practices,

641
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: I feel like you don't get to tackle anybody, don't

642
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: get to destroy anybody up front. You guys are just

643
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: trying to sharpen the technique aspect of things.

644
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 8: Maybe learn the system. You know the system, so tell

646
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 6: I feel like this this point of the year is

647
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 6: more about learning how to practice, you know, uh, you know,

648

Speaker 6: we getting it. We're gonna get in such certain certain

649
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 6: situations where we're gonna be out of pass and we're

650
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 6: gonna have to go against each other and there's gonna

651
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 6: be up tempo. So this is more of like understanding

652
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 6: the tempo of what what they're calling, you know, knowing

653
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 6: how to practice, knowing how to go against the office

654
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 6: at a high at a high pace and just get

655
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 6: something from it.

656
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: You know.

657
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 6: It's a you know that's been uh coach's biggest emphasis

658
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 6: this year is just make sure we're here for a reason.

659
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 6: Make sure you're you're getting better at something.

660
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 4: What is that one thing for you? Then to get

661
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 4: better at what? What do you want to say at

662
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 4: the end of the year, I got better at this.

663
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 6: Being being more direct than this winning all the time.

664
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 6: You know, I feel like this defense kind of sets

665
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 6: us up to where we get it one on ones

666
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 6: and just utilizing every one on one chance that I have,

667
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 6: you know, and just being able to not make the play,

668
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 6: but just be effective, you know, uh quarterback face, you know,

669
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 6: hands on quarterbacks, you know this uh uh penetrating the line,

670
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 6: you know, being able to be sharp, just everybody being

671
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 6: detailed detailed in our Russian.

672
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 8: Did you see the Metallica performance.

673
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 6: Then they're uh tuned in into like an earthquake.

674
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 8: Right yeah, yeah, registered on the Richter scale.

675
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 6: I can only imagine that because nobody realizes, like when

676
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 6: you're walking down the tunnel like that, the tunnel was

677
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 6: shaking the whole time.

678
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: Everybody's being that tunnel man. It's just a real moment.

679
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 6: But you know, it's like I can only imagine what

680
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 6: it was like there because like on game days and

681
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 6: you feel like I could, I know, it's way more intense,

682
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 6: you know. I feel like that's one thing they take

683
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 6: they have their prideful of out there Virginia Tech when

684
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 6: that that whole, that whole terance thing. But just the

685
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 6: fact that they had that there and that's that's epic

686
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 6: and I'm just I know it was something to be

687
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 6: there to the witness, to be able to enjoy that.

688
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 4: Along those lines, Tim in the playoff game against Los

689
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 4: Angeles against the Chargers, what was that environment like during

690
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 4: that playoff game?

691
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: Especially?

692
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 4: I remember the back to back sacks after I think

693
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 4: a fuel goal and I think Danil got one and

694
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 4: then Mario got one, and it was like, of course

695
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 4: Bukonki took the next one to the house. But that's

696
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 4: side the point. I felt like that place is as

697
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: loud as I had heard it at that point. What

698
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 4: was the environment like for you and for the players

699
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 4: with the crowd the way it was during that game.

700
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 6: It was a real moment, you know. Uh, And I

701
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 6: feel like, you know, how we think of it, like

702
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 6: our our our defensive coaches and how they emphasize things,

703
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 6: you know, like we could take this game over, and

704
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 6: you know, I feel like, you know.

705
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 5: We were we were we were playing real poise.

706
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 6: And we're just we're just in a groove and like

707
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 6: I feel like, you know, everything that were the attention

708
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 6: of details of that we could practice of this, like

709
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 6: knowing what we were going to get and and when

710
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 6: we were getting it and we were like meeting it,

711
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 6: Like it was a real moment. It's like because we

712
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 6: was going over this and everything was just clicking, and

713
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 6: like when things clicking, it's like it's a it's an

714
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 6: unreal energy. It's like it's contagious, it'sous energy. So I

715
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 6: just feel like, you know, when once, like once one

716
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 6: thing gets going, it's like, man, it's like you get

717
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 6: to the point, was like, I gotta make a play.

718
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 6: I gotta make a play. I got to make a play.

719
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 6: But it comes to you, you know. Uh, everything's hand

720
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 6: in hand, you know. Shoot, the place is there for

721
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 6: us to make We just gotta make up, all right.

722
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: So the d line, We've talked a lot about the

723
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: chemistry you guys have, the camaraderie, is it the players?

724
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: Is it Rod Wright? Is it a combination of things?

725
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: And I know Nate's no longer here, he's in Atlanta,

726
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: So good for him. The barman's got him a good job.

727
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 6: Uh.

728
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 8: And now you have Franko Camp coming in Jackson.

729
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: So what about all that.

730
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 6: Man, Well, a big shout out to Rod and frank

731
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 6: Uh that that combination right there is lethal. You know,

732
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 6: this is with the knowledge and experience that they both

733
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 6: have giving it to the room. Like it's stuff that

734
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 6: they say now that I haven't heard before, that that

735
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 6: I can relate to stuff that I can relate to,

736
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 6: and it's like, dang, it's like, but he knows that

737
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 6: as a player. You got two players that play coaching

738
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 6: like that, everything just changes. But the energy they bring

739
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 6: it it's consistent every single day. They don't matter what

740
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 6: it is. And you know, like we have a standard

741
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 6: that's high in there and they don't ever go below

742
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 6: that standard. And I feel like that's what keeps it up.

743
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 6: You know, they high energy every day like and it's

744
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,960

786
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 6: what we did from last year. But you know, I'm

787
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,239

Speaker 1: Like the way things are going, says, the young Bucks

800
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: are certainly a force to be reckoned with.

801
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 9: These young guys are coming in hungry, you know what

802
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 9: I mean. Uh, young guys coming hungry every year. But

803
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 9: is like this, this this group of guys like they

804
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 9: they they want to add to our team, you know,

805
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 9: what I mean, we already have a you know, a

806
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 9: great team in my opinion, but the young guys are

807
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 9: just going to add so much more dynamic talent.

808
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: How many years is this for you?

809

Speaker 9: care of it from rookie year, you know what I mean.

818
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,839

Speaker 9: to really get into hone, in into like my body routine.

820
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,080

00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 4: had a lot of different roles. So as you get

834
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 4: ready for year eight, what's the biggest thing for you

835
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 4: that you kind of go through both mentally and physically

836
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,600

837
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:27,480

Speaker 9: routine to look like, and things like that that da'tuer.

845
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 8: A recreational thing you might do prior to training camp.

846
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 5: Uh, I want to go play pickleball?

847
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:57,520

Speaker 5: Yes?

854
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 2: Now that will get you in.

855
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 8: Is there pro spike ball?

856
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: I think there is, but theose dudes are ridiculous.

857
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 3: Theres pro pickleball.

858
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen that, right, Yeah, are you thinking, Hey,

859
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: you know what, when this is all said and done,

860
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: pro pickleball is a possibility.

861
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 5: They put in the Olympics. I do it.

862
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: So all right, let's go there. Let's talk about that

863
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: for a second.

864
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 4: There's all all this about flag football and twenty twenty

865
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 4: eight Indian Olympics. What do you think, I mean, would

866
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 4: you want to do it? How different are the two games?

867
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 4: I don't even know if you've played flag football. I

868
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 4: know a lot of guys haven't. They start playing tackle

869
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 4: football with the little kids and that's all they play.

870
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 4: What do you think about flag football and NFL players

871
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 4: in flag football in the Olympics.

872
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 5: I think it's a great idea, man.

873
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 9: I think it's it gives h you know guys a

874
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 9: chance whoever gets you know selected. I think it gives

875
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 9: guys a chance to explore this world, explore different countries,

876
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 9: different cities, so you know, get the experience with the Olympics's light.

877
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 9: So I think it's a it's a great chance for

878
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 9: you know, guys in the league to you know, get

879
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 9: out and explore.

880
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: And it starts in the United States too. It's so

881
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 2: that's not a bad thing.

882
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: Anither, what's been your favorite either team or individual moments

883
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: since you've been here. All right, I know you've Tampa Bay, Cleveland,

884
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: all that, But what about here with the Houston Texans, MJ.

885
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: What's your most memorable moment or situation here with this club?

886
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 9: Uh? Man, it's it's been a lot, but it'd probably

887
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 9: be And I wasn't. I don't even think I was.

888
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 9: I was there, because I was, I think I was hurt.

889
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 9: But when we played Cleveland in the playoffs, just how

890
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 9: loud it was, you know, when jac got his pig,

891
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 9: Christian Harris wouldturning that, you know he returned it for

892
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 9: a touchdown. I could feel the energy and feel how

893
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 9: loud it was like through a TV. And so like

894
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 9: like I said, even though I wasn't there, that's probably

895
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 9: one of my my favorite moments.

896
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 4: Okay, So let's talk about a moment from last year.

897
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 4: Come out of the bye we played Miami Dolphins. Move

898
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 4: the ball, Okay, but now we got a punt and

899
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 4: a big play is the fake punt and you take

900
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 4: the snap, you flip it to Darry coming back the

901
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 4: other way when that's called. Because you've been the personal

902
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 4: protector here for for years, and it's probably no secret

903
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 4: Mark and I get to see practice. Sometimes we've seen

904
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 4: you do any number of things as the personal protector.

905
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: Now it happens. Now it's called.

906
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 4: It's actually called in the game, we're running this fake punt?

907
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 2: What are you thinking?

908
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 4: Can you take us through that play where you guys

909
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 4: run that that will reverse to Darry it gets a

910
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 4: big first down.

911
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 9: When he said to me, I was kind of like,

912
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 9: we really, like, we're really going to do this, you

913
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 9: know what I mean, because like we all we we

914
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 9: want to do like yeah, like the guys on the

915
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 9: punt team would love to do fake puns. Yeah, we

916
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 9: want to do it all the time. You know what's

917
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 9: the game we can't do it, but we would love

918
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 9: to do him all the time. So when I went

919
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 9: to the huddle and I told her, guys, they was

920
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 9: like you serious.

921
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, come on, let's go.

922
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 9: And then it's like everybody's mind was like, oh yeah,

923
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 9: we're definitely you know, we're definitely converting this because we

924
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 9: have faith in each other.

925
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 5: And I mean they they weren't expecting it at all.

926
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 3: So okay, and other teams don't be watching this. We're

927
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 3: not gonna do it again.

928
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 8: Don't worry. It's never gonna happen again.

929
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 3: MJ. Thanks a lot for joining us.

943
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,960

947
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: way to make plays to make yourself useful no matter

948
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: what the situation.

949
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 3: And now you're out there again.

950
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: Off season seeing all these bodies you're making plays.

951
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,080

952
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 3: twenty five.

953
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I mean it's going well. It's just

954
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 7: it just motivates you every day when you walk in

955
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 7: the room and you got like all the you got Sting,

956
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 7: you got Kamarai, you got Klin, you got Peachtree, like

957
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 7: the list goes on, the young guys that come in.

958
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 7: So it just motivates you don't want to make a play.

959
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 7: And then we're all like we can't even walk the

960
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 7: hallways without talking football, like, or we're texting each other,

961
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 7: or we're sending each other clips on films. So it's

962
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 7: just a it's a competitive environment. It makes you just

963
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 7: want It makes you want to be the best that

964
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 7: you could be.

965
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: Dangelo.

966
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 4: You also obviously contributed specialty I want to go back.

967
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 4: You had two special teams moments in the playoff game

968
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 4: against the Chargers, the first one and I literally just

969
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 4: watched the highlights of it last weekend. I don't I

970
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 4: just popped up on my feet. I'm like, you know,

971
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 4: I don't feel good. I want to watch this and

972
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: I forgot about you blocking a punt?

973
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, how long now?

974
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 4: Unfortunately because the ball went out field. You get I

975
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 4: don't think you get credit for a block punt.

976
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

977
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 7: I think I do get credit, but it just it

978
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 7: doesn't it's not as pretty because you want, like you

979
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 7: wanted to go the other way and you want to

980
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 7: score with it.

981
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 4: But either way, how long did it take for you

982
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 4: to kind of I want to say master because the

983
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 4: timing of how you came in to block that, that

984
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 4: takes some timing, It takes work. How long did you

985
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 4: kind of take before you kind of got it down

986
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 4: and the timing down to then use it at that particular.

987
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: Moment against the Chargers.

988
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's probably like years in the making

989
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 7: because it was a there's another game, might have been

990
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 7: our second game against Tennessee, our first game against Tennessee

991
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 7: here at home. Yeah, two years ago, and I came

992
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 7: in and I was free, but I missed the blockab

993
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 7: my hands straight up in the air. I had never

994
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 7: been got practiced it. But once you're in that moment,

995
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 7: like you're you get kind of like deer in headlights.

996
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 7: But it's like years and it's a couple of years

997
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 7: in the making, and then every once in a while,

998
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 7: Frank will be like, the corner roll is up, Like,

999
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 7: so we'll practice it. I'll watch it on film, get

1000
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 7: the timing together. It's it's tough to time, but Frank,

1001
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 7: Frank does a good job of giving me landmarks, giving

1002
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 7: me cues. So like, I just trusted it. Both times,

1003
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 7: I've trusted it. So I've had two I've had like

1004
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 7: three attempts at it. Two I've I've had a chance.

1005
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 7: So that's a good good ratio right there.

1006
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: The feeling of scoring two points, but scoring in a

1007
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: playoff game.

1008
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was that was a that was an amazing moment,

1009
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 7: awesome moment for me and my family, family's in the stands,

1010
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 7: just and then just for us as an organization. The

1011
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 7: text and just weird. That game kind of felt weird

1012
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 7: and then things just started happening, and that was just

1013
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 7: another thing. It was a weird thing. You don't see

1014
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 7: two points scored, but it was just it was a

1015
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 7: cool moment. I think I don't even think the fans

1016
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 7: cared if it was two or six, but it was.

1017
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 7: It was just fun all the way around.

1018
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 4: Well, what's interesting about it too is I watched it

1019
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 4: and then I watched you Because initially when you come

1020
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 4: through on the ball, the ball's block and the ball's.

1021
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 2: Kind of bouncing around over here.

1022
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 4: It's over there, it doesn't look like anybody kind of knows,

1023
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 4: like what's happening.

1024
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, the ball ends up.

1025
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 4: I think Dicker tried to pick it up or whatever,

1026
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 4: and then the balls up in your head.

1027
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 3: Then you knew what to do.

1028
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 2: You knew to take off, like, hey, I can go

1029
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 2: get two points with this.

1030
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 4: But it was like, initially it looked like everybody's just

1031
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 4: kind of looking around like what's gonna happen until Dicker

1032
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 4: got hit.

1033
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 7: With the ball and then you took off. Yeah, it

1034
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 7: was just it's a weird moment. If it lands on

1035
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 7: on the on their side, you'd think like pick it

1036
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 7: up and run. If it lands on our side, usually

1037
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 7: want to leave it alone. But yeah, you know, either

1038
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 7: way on a two point conversion, it would have been nice.

1039
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 7: If it was a field goal, that would have been

1040
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 7: that would have been crazy. But yeah, yeah, but he

1041
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 7: should have knocked that thing down. He got made a mistake.

1042
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 7: I think it was Neville because yeah, that's.

1043
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 2: Right, Neville bury him. Oh that was fantastic.

1044
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: I was reading about a one point safety possibility where

1045
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: if you return that let's say somehow you fumbled at

1046
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: the one or something, they picked it up, tried to

1047
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: run with it, but you tackle them in their end zone.

1048
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: That's a one point Safety's take that to Frank and

1049
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: see if he knows.

1050
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 7: That, I don't know, you might have you might stump

1051
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 7: them with that one.

1052
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 3: Okay, you can impress it.

1053
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 7: He goes through all his situations. Yeah, So what is it?

1054
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 2: What's it like Gasloe with with Frank?

1055
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he's such a high energy guy all the time,

1056
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 4: but it always feels like he's still no matter what,

1057
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 4: all high energy guy, whatever, he still feels like there's

1058
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 4: a pretty good plan that he puts forth in special

1059
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 4: teams for that week. I mean, I think about the

1060
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 4: Charger game and just a different the impact of special

1061
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 4: teams all over the field in that game. What is

1062
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 4: it like, you know, working with Frank and get ready

1063
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:51,439
Speaker 4: for a game.

1064
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like what I always say, like what I

1065
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 7: tell people, it's not enough, like we're special teams. It's

1066
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 7: a it's a unique unit, it's a unique side of

1067
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 7: the ball. So you it's but it doesn't do enough

1068
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 7: to just go out there and pump the ball or

1069
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 7: go out there and kick off the ball. Like Frank

1070
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 7: wants to make up play to help the team win.

1071
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 7: And when when you make up play on special teams,

1072
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 7: your your chances of winning just skyrockets. So that's his goal.

1073
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 7: And I know how much time he puts into it

1074
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 7: because he's texting me at nine o'clock at night, ten

1075
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 7: o'clock at night on a Wednesday. Really, Yeah, it's showing

1076
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 7: me clips, showing me what like, what it looks like,

1077
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 7: what's the plan for the next he's texting everybody. Yeah,

1078
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 7: So like that's just the time that he puts into it.

1079
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 7: And I think we all take that, we all take

1080
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 7: that to heart. And I when I go out there,

1081
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 7: I don't I don't just want to be out there.

1082
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 7: I want to make a play.

1083
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: As a guy's been in the league since twenty nineteen,

1084
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: what is the secret or a couple of things that

1085
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: are really key in being able to thrive in the

1086
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: NFL for year after year.

1087
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's just making yourself useful. I mean,

1088
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 7: if you're not great at if you're not the best

1089
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 7: all time at one thing, you gotta be good at

1090
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 7: a lot of things. So you got to be useful

1091
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 7: and then just something that I like, what I pride

1092
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 7: myself on or what I preach to other people is

1093
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 7: like these coaches, they spend a lot of time telling

1094
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 7: us what we do wrong. So just don't come in

1095
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 7: the next day and do that again. It seems like

1096
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 7: it's simple, but it's just don't make the same mistake twice.

1097
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 7: Like if they tell you something's wrong, fix it. And

1098
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 7: then it's just taking that one day at a time,

1099
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 7: one week at a time, of mastering one thing because

1100
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,479
Speaker 7: you cannot you can't get it all. Like this game

1101
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 7: is so like there's so many facets of the game.

1102
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 7: So just mastering one thing and once you get that,

1103
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 7: go to the next thing.

1104
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 2: So that's good life. I just like the way I

1105
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 2: just like the way you said it.

1106
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right.

1107
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 3: Don't do that anything again. Yeah, just don't do that again.

1108
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 2: That's so yeah.

1109
