1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,080
Speaker 1: What's happened? Everybody?

2
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 2: Welcome into a Monday edition of Texas All Access from

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: the Hyundai Texans Radio studio. John Harrison, Mark Vandermir. I

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 2: won't say fresh off the field. It's now been a

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: few hours since we've been off the field, a sweltering

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: Monday lunchtime ish time off the field. But man, one

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: another great day at training camp practice. We will break

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: all that down for you a little later. We will

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: go through a defensive line position. We did a defensive

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: line breakdown this morning, so we'll have that for you.

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: And then there's plenty of news going around the league,

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: including in Green Bay where the love isn't quite there

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: for love just yet. You'll find out what I'm talking about.

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 2: But Mark, it was day four at training camp. A

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: couple of things. Number one, no rain, hot use of

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: those things, no pads, but all that changes on Tuesday. Fans, pads, juice, energy,

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: can't wait.

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: But we still got to get through Monday's practice. What'd

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: you think?

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 4: For those listening saying, well, wait a minute, it rained

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 4: like dogs and cats today and other animals as well.

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 3: Yeah later, yeah later. Yeah, it was a typical Houston.

24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 4: You never know what to expect kind of day, although

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 4: in the summer, usually, Johnny, we wouldn't get this kind

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 4: of stuff, but it happened this morning. Not a cloud

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: in the sky, all right, and then you get a

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: few clouds, which was nice during summer practice, but it

29
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 4: was it was a cooker.

30
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: Today at Texans training Camp, day four.

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 4: And then when we got inside it was raining sideways

32
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 4: for a while.

33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: It was crazy. So there was a lot of that

34
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: kind of stuff going on.

35
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 4: But anyway, I thought, and look, I have not read

36
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: full disclosure. I have not read Harris Hips yet, but

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 4: I'm betting, but I know you will.

38
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I will. I always do.

39
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: I'm betting that you mentioned something about the defense having

40
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 4: quite a day. Defense had a day, and defense they

41
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: were getting after a big and I'm going to give

42
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 4: you some.

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: Off the record type stuff you ready for?

44
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: Oh wow?

45
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: So I was walking in with some defensive players and

46
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: I said something about, well, you guys had a day today,

47
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 4: you know, gee gollye g wiz. You know, just trying

48
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 4: trying to fit in, Johnny best I can.

49
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Now.

50
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: These guys are.

51
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 4: Wonderful people, and they were talking amongst themselves, but they

52
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 4: knew I was there, and they were like, oh, it's

53
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 4: coming tomorrow though in pads play action, you know, the CJ.

54
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 4: Stroud Show will be in full display in front of

55
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: the fans, so we'll see. It'll be a nice battle.

56
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 4: It's great that they have this competition. You know, we

57
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: talk about it, the iron sharpens eye and everybody, I

58
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: don't want to say everybody gets tired of it. I

59
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 4: hope you don't get tired of it because it makes

60
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: your team better. And it's odd day to day who

61
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: wins the day. I don't know how they privately keep

62
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 4: this quantitatively, but you know they do.

63
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: You know they do.

64
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 4: We got you today, you get us tomorrow, you get

65
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: us in the next day. Whatever the situation is. There's

66
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: a great competition going on.

67
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: It's fantastic competition going on. And Bobby Slowick was up

68
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: the sideline kind of in my my path of watching practice,

69
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: and I just got my eye assume as the offense

70
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: was struggling a little bit, and I could just see

71
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: I could just you get to where you've been around

72
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: the guys enough that you just all you have to

73
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: do is get a look see and go, oh, yeah

74
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: he's not happy. Yeah, I mean you you just know Okay,

75
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: he's not real happy with what's been going on. But again,

76
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: you're talking about a defense that has got Daniel Hunter,

77
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: He's got Will Anderson in the back end. It's got

78
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: Derek Stingley, junior rookie Kamari last yer. I thought it

79
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: was pretty interesting with Stefan Diggs had to stay about

80
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: about Kamari. He said he might be ready. He could

81
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: be ready right now. He isn't scared. I mean, I

82
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: just thought, what what Stefan Diggs had to stay about

83
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: Kamari last year is maybe telling you something about.

84
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: The entire defense.

85
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: He made a play downfield.

86
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

87
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: He made a play downfield where I was talking to

88
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: Seth about it from the sideline and we were trying

89
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: to decide, Wait, was that a PBu or you know,

90
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: past break up pass defense or was it a ball

91
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: that wasn't thrown in the right spot.

92
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: I think the ball was thrown in the right spot.

93
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: I think he just kind of jammed Stefan Diggs, but

94
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: it was right in front of the official.

95
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, and no flag. They're throwing flags here.

96
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: They have no shyness about throwing the penalty markers and

97
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: they're here every day. And that's a great thing for

98
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 4: this team because there's no debate would that have been

99
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 4: a flag or not. Now, I know some officials might

100
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 4: not throw it in a real situation or whatever, but

101
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 4: they're throwing flags.

102
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's going to help you get better as well.

103
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 4: I can't do that, or I can get away with

104
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 4: this maybe or whatever.

105
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: But last and it remained a nice play.

106
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

107
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: In fact, I put that into Harris Hits because in

108
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: that very same play it was kind of cool because

109
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: I could see the rush and then I was able

110
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: to get my eyes because the ball was in front

111
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: of me. So I was actually able to see two

112
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: different things. And it happened on back to back plays.

113
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: And Danil Hunter is a is a real one, my god.

114
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: So the first play of the team period, he was

115
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: out at the right defensive end spot. It so happened

116
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: that today Daniel was in my on our on our

117
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: sideline most of the time Will was, and Will was

118
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: on the other side. So I just that's why I

119
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: talked about Daniel Hunter as much as I did. But

120
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: Danil on the first rep starts and it looks like

121
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: he's gonna go right through the tackle and then all

122
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: of a sudden and he just zips inside like it's nothing,

123
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: and I'm like, whoa. Then the next play after he's

124
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: done that, now he did that so quickly the ball

125
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: would have not gotten off, but CJ was throwing the

126
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: ball the other way, so Danil pulled up, strapped through

127
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: its completion.

128
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: Easy completion.

129
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: But had that been a real game, I think Danille

130
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: at least gets I mean, that's that's one of those

131
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: strips sacked scoop and score pick, you know, picked scoop

132
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: and score for six kind of thing. The very next

133
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: play after winning inside, now Danielle starts like he's going

134
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 2: inside and then he drops that that Van Miller ghost

135
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: move where you just drop that shoulder, you just disappear,

136
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: pop right back up and was right there again for Strout.

137
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: It was on that that second rep that CJ ended

138
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: up throwing it down the digs and Kamari Lasser was

139
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: in great position.

140
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: The ball fell in complete.

141
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: But watching daniel Hunter work his moves and just work

142
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: his Daneil Hunter.

143
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: Nos was it was so cool because he's so good.

144
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: It is.

145
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 2: It's making Blake Fisher have to work his butt off

146
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: over at left tackle because Laramie is ramping his self up,

147
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: himself up to get ready and get back on the field.

148
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: But he's not there yet.

149
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: So Blake Fisher has been taking a lot of those

150
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: reps to left tackle, so he seeing the best in football.

151
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: This guy is an absolute terror rushing the quarterback.

152
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,559
Speaker 4: Well, we got to get those five fingers in the glove,

153
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: the five offensive linemen out there at some point and

154
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: get them acclimated to each other, get them playing like

155
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: a great unit, because you're right, the D line is

156
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: blowing some stuff up. Obviously, Will Anderson. I'll give you

157
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 4: another one who I know you noticed today. Again, I

158
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: didn't Harris hits yet, but Deniko Autry is what did

159
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 4: Nick Cassario call him a bad mferm?

160
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? He is, man. He is a tough customer.

161
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: There was a batted ball and he dove for it

162
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: like the super Bowl was on the line.

163
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, whoa this is?

164
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: We have seven weeks to go, man, But he's got

165
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: that intensity and you know, Dimiko's gotta love this. And

166
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: you mentioned Slowik over there calling plays and seeing his

167
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 4: body language when something doesn't work.

168
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: He's he's not.

169
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: Totally Spock like.

170
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: He's good at getting the emotion out of it because

171
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 4: he knows it's all about the next play. But you

172
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 4: could tell the defense did make some plays today and

173
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 4: the offense will have their days too. I'm not worried

174
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 4: about this. I think it's awesome. I think it's great.

175
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: Turn it up on defense, make this offense as good

176
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: as they can possibly be now in pads tomorrow, that

177
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: online D line battle is going to be even more

178
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: interesting and you're gonna learn much more about the D

179
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 4: line what they're doing. If Demico throws blitzes at them.

180
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 4: But he wants full intensity, he wants to full throttle

181
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: on the defensive side.

182
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely, there's no question.

183
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: And some of the defensive linemen I mentioned to Neil Hunter,

184
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: I did watch Will for one.

185
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: There's always a.

186
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: Way that Will gets my attention, even if he's on

187
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: the opposite side. If I can see kind of through

188
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: the opposite side and I could see him kind of

189
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: twitching and he does that, he gets in that four

190
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: point stance and he starts twitching and I'm like, okay,

191
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: and so he needs to tell he burst off the

192
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: football and it looked like he was just gonna go

193
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: speed to power, just you know, bull rush. And also

194
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: at the last second as he goes to he gets

195
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: to tackle like it's gonna be a bull rush, and

196
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 2: then he just slid inside like it was easy, just

197
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: kind of arm over and just right to the quarterback.

198
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: I think CJ was in at that point, and I mean,

199
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: it's CJ. Can't get really get the ball off. He's

200
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: in there so quick, and I'm like, man, But a

201
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: couple of guys that really stood out to me were

202
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: on the interior McTelvin Agene.

203
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 4: Okay, Seth mentioned him too. Yeah, he had he had

204
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: one or two really good rushes.

205
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: Yes, a couple of really good rushes batted down a pass,

206
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: But it's how quick he does things. I mentioned him

207
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 2: a couple of days ago because and I think we

208
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: talked about this on radio today when were breaking down

209
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: to d line and I'll you'll have this audio. But

210
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: he ran down Jir Jordan caught a swing pass out

211
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: on the left side, and so Jordan is running up

212
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: the left side and everybody kind of got sucked into

213
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: everything going the other way.

214
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: So it really wasn't a whole lot of people there.

215
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: There's one guy coming over, maybe a linebacker, and a

216
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: linebacker madejuar slow down a little bit. But so so

217
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: is just flying thirty five yards down a field on

218
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: a full sprint and just you know you're tackling buddy,

219
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: but you tag off the hip. He tags off on

220
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: Juwar Jordan thirty five yards down a field. I thought, okay,

221
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: you got my attention now. Now I've always had my

222
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: attention on him. I always started Arkansas. He I've always

223
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 2: started a really good player. Just he was kind of

224
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: underrated and he's undersized, but I think he's added weight.

225
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: He's up in the two ninety range now. He was

226
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: so quick.

227
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: There were There's one time when I have my eyes

228
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 2: on him, guard tried to quick set him, which essentially

229
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: is you know guards, you know pass protection when you

230
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: kind of give ground right well, sometimes what guards like

231
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: to do in particular is stunt the rush and so

232
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: they quick set. So they just popped. They popped the

233
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: defensive lineman like right away. And Quentin Nelson can do

234
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: this really well, it's Quentin Nelson. I mean he does it.

235
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: You like, you get jarred and you get slowed down,

236
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: so you really want to slow down into your defensive lineman.

237
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: You use that quick set. So this guard who I

238
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: can't remember who was guard, tried to quick set Sosa

239
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: mctevin agen and he just just threw hands one hand there,

240
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: one hand underneath, and he was gone. And it was like, WHOA,

241
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: that's wow. And those are the guys that we're gonna

242
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: have our eyes on the preseason.

243
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: Yep. AND's those kind of guys.

244
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 4: You won't automatically pencil him in onto the fifty three,

245
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 4: there's no way. So he's gonna have to really show

246
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: out and then maybe hope for injuries or whatever else

247
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 4: or beat some people out. But that that is definitely

248
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 4: somebody worth watching. I'll give you another one. And I

249
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 4: know you noticed this today, Jacob Phillips not going down today,

250
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 4: and I thought, all right, I haven't seen every stitch

251
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: of video there is on him in this camp.

252
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 3: But that is a guy that we've talked about in

253
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 3: the offseason.

254
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 4: If you want a role model, or at least in

255
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 4: our eyes, a model to follow, would be Blake Cashman,

256
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 4: a player who had a lot of injuries injury issues,

257
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: comes here stays healthy. Finally, for the most part, he

258
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: still wasn't completely one hundred percent healthy last year, but

259
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 4: healthy enough where he got the contract with Minnesota, where

260
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: he's from and for Phillips, he's looking for something similar there.

261
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 4: He's looking to stay healthy, make a lot of plays.

262
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: Who knows what happens with injuries at linebacker, But physically

263
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 4: he looks really good, Johnny. He looks like an incredible athlete.

264
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: You know, he was at LSU Cleveland Browns and now

265
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 4: he's trying to.

266
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: Do it here.

267
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: But he had a player too today that was eye

268
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 4: popping and we'll see how it goes with him.

269
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely the one other player defensively just happened to be

270
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: a deal.

271
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: I'man it's the same guy we saw last year. I

272
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: think he's just getting better and better. That's Khalil Davis.

273
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: Khalil ran down a screen from behind away from us.

274
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: He was on that side, but he started his rush

275
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: red screen and he's tagging off on the running back

276
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 2: maybe one yard deep, maybe at the line of scrimmage,

277
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: but I mean that play doesn't go anywhere because it's

278
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: getting held up and we've got We used to say

279
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: this for my first ten lessure is my tenth year.

280
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: First nine years, we ran screens, no offense. We stunk

281
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: like every time we ran a screen, couldn't get it

282
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: to go. Like during a break you, me and Dre

283
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: would yell each other, like why we run a screens.

284
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: We've gotten much much better running screens, much much better.

285
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 2: But this one Khalil Davis blew up and then there

286
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: was a toss away from him, a toss run play

287
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: away from him. He got through the backfield in a

288
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: snap and ran it thing down from behind to a

289
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: point where by the time he got to the running back,

290
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: he literally had to pull up almost a stop, like

291
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: throwing the flintstone brakes.

292
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: The flintstones always there.

293
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: He almost had to stop like that so he didn't

294
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: just completely decapitate the running back.

295
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: He he even looks better than he was last year.

296
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 4: Who chased down Stover today when he was running one

297
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 4: out into the end zone. It was about a seventy

298
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 4: yard run and I don't know if he would have

299
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 4: been caught or not earlier, but he was finishing out

300
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 4: the run and somebody went all the way downfield with him,

301
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: a big guy.

302
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: I can't remember who it was.

303
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: It might have been. It might have been fifty eight,

304
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: It might have been so Soid. It might have been Mtown,

305
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 2: might have been. He's done that a few times. He

306
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: can he can really run I'll give you another guy

307
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: in the secondary that he's hard to miss. First of all,

308
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: because he's taller than everybody else. He's also lankier than

309
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: everybody else. He had his hands on a pick today

310
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: and that's Kaylen Bullet couldn't come down with it, and

311
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 2: I mean he hits him right in hands, got it

312
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: and you gotta have it. But I'll say this mark

313
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: from a you think about all the things that go

314
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: into an interception.

315
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, number one reading the quarterbacks eyes.

316
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: Are you saying every interception as a story?

317
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm I'm kind of saying that in a sense,

318
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: I'm kind of saying that. But he makes a great read,

319
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: a great break on the ball, Transitional quickness, you know,

320
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: the ability to to move yourself forward is it's top notch.

321
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: He just dropped the ball.

322
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: And they've been a couple of those where the defense

323
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: is just they've had in their hands. If I got one,

324
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: Jeff Okudoff a tip pass at the end was kind.

325
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: Of that was a good one.

326
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: Mike Ford got in that. Mike Ford was right there.

327
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: He and know browning up for it. Ball popped up.

328
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: Bike Ford self described playmaker. But I love him, I

329
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: love I love Mike, but Cale, I just don't know.

330
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how it how he gets on the

331
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: field with what's.

332
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: In front of him.

333
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: But I'm getting to a point where I've seen enough

334
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: from Kaylen Bullock the last few days to go there's

335
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: something here. This cat needs to be on the field.

336
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: We need to get him on that to develop him.

337
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: He's got to play, He's got to be on the field.

338
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: We've gotten that point with Kamara Lassiter. I think what

339
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: we saw in OTA's in mini camp has carried over

340
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: to the first week of training camp and look with

341
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: the pads on, but everything that you see out of

342
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: Kamara Lassiter makes you feel like, even when the pads

343
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: go on, he's still gonna be hip to hip with

344
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs. He's still gonna be competitive wherever the ball

345
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: is on the field. Kaylen Bullock has been around the football,

346
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: has made some really explosive breaks.

347
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: He's as athletic as it gets at that safety position.

348
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: Now again, for him, it's also when the pads go on,

349
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: because his tackling was not good last year, so that

350
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: obviously is something that needs work. But there's got to

351
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: be a way you get him on the field. Because

352
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: he has been around the football for the last four

353
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: days for sure.

354
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 4: Who are the biggest safeties the Texans have had?

355
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a big question. Red ed Reid was pretty

356
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: good size. Justin Reed, Oh, Justin Reed. Justin was six

357
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: one six two two ten.

358
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 4: He's good seast six one here, I pulled it up.

359
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 4: But Bo is bigger than that.

360
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

361
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: Glover, No, Glover was shorter. Yeah. Oh, I had to

362
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: my tongue. Quentin the guy. No, Uh, Pollard? What was

363
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: Bernard Pollard?

364
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,239
Speaker 3: Bernard Pollard.

365
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't think he was six two six ' three,

366
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: but he was a good solid two fifteen.

367
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 3: Yeah he was.

368
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 4: Uh, they don't have his height here?

369
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: Come on, how do you not have his height here?

370
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 3: I'm pulling it up right now.

371
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 4: Bernard Pollard two thousand and nine Texans contributor, six' one

372
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 4: twenty five.

373
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was sick. That's thick. Yeah, that's that's good size.

374
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: That's good size. Okay, here's a question for you. Yeah,

375
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: who's the best safety in Texans history?

376
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 4: Okay, this is a position group where they haven't exactly

377
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 4: shined in a Pro Bowl sense.

378
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 3: All right, let's just be honest here.

379
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 4: There have been some good contributors like Clover, Daniel Manning,

380
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 4: Ed Reid did nothing. Manning did a lot, I did

381
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 4: a lot. But again, you're not dealing with multiple Pro

382
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 4: Bowls here. With Daniel Manning, as much as I love

383
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 4: him and love the contribution he made, and Justin Reied,

384
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 4: you got to throw him in the mix as well,

385
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: you know. I mean I love my early safeties too.

386
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 4: I'm not forgetting about you. Eric Brown. Did Marcus Coleman

387
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 4: shift over to shift over safety corner?

388
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: I think Marcus would be up there.

389
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: I mean, if you were to say, Okay, give me

390
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: the top three safeties in Texas history, I think Marcus

391
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: would probably have to go up there. Yeah, I would

392
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: imagine after that. I mean Justin Reid I think reads

393
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: one of them.

394
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: I think he's Yeah, I think you would have to be.

395
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 4: There have been single season outstanding performances like a Pollard, Manning's,

396
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 4: Quindemp's Coundemp Demp's single season. Yeah, absolutely, sixteen years incredible,

397
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 4: absolutely great contribution there. But again, yeah, you're not looking

398
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 4: at sustained excellence over a number of years with too

399
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 4: many of these guys.

400
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: Kind of odd for what do we now We're we're

401
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: able to drink as a franchise. We're over twenty one

402
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 2: years old, but happen to have a position that just

403
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 2: hasn't had Tyron Matthew was here yet, Tyres Ye, Tyro's

404
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: here for a year. I wish held staying longer. I

405
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: love ty Yeah, but Reid. I think Reid is certainly

406
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: one of them. And remember Reid winning season eighteen, winning

407
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: season nineteen twenty nine, So all right, well that was

408
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: it you got too. But he's now got two rings

409
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 2: with the Kansas City Chiefs, and I don't look forward

410
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: to playing him. He's he has played exceptional football with

411
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: the with Kansas City Chiefs, and I'm happy for him.

412
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: He was always a good guy, regardless of the whole

413
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 2: suspension for a game or whatever.

414
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: He was always a great.

415
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 4: Petrie had a hell of a rookie year, and obviously

416
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 4: the team wasn't good, but he had five picks looking good.

417
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 4: Last year didn't go quite as well in that department,

418
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 4: but I think Petree year three could be really interesting.

419
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 4: And then you have Jimmy Ward last year had a

420
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 4: really good season. When he was out there was always

421
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: healthy for you. So yeah, it's been a position group

422
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: that has not been incredibly fruitful. I mean, we just

423
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 4: named a bunch of guys, but you're only with twenty

424
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 4: two years of history.

425
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: You know who would have been that guy?

426
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: And I still I think they always wanted to get

427
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 2: him over there.

428
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 4: By the way, Eric Brown's gonna be pissed if I

429
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 4: don't mention him. No, he wouldn't, He's not that kind

430
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 4: of guy. But I am upset with myself because I

431
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 4: love Eric too, and he was part of a pretty

432
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 4: decent defense in the.

433
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think a guy that they every year, it

434
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: felt like they kept trying to move him over there

435
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: and then injured at corner that kept kare corner.

436
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: Kareem Jackson. Kareem Jackson would have been that safety.

437
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he would have.

438
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: I think he would have been that safety.

439
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 2: He was fearless, He obviously had cornerback cover skills, so

440
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 2: he would have been able to do.

441
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: If Kevin Johnson stays totally healthy, you got he and

442
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 4: J Joe on the outside, and Kareem moves to safety

443
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 4: earlier and you're able to reap the benefits of that.

444
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 3: Maybe he's still here.

445
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: Man at twenty sixteen defense, imagine the twenty sixteen defense

446
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: was good.

447
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: Was number one in the league.

448
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: But if Kevin stays healthy that year he was the

449
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: beginning of that year, he was on one.

450
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: He was he was top.

451
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: He locked up Colts receivers, and then you can put

452
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: Kareem at safety. That defense would have been even even better.

453
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: You and I could have quarterbacked that team. I think

454
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 2: about that.

455
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 4: I was thinking about that the other day in fifteen

456
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 4: when they had those two blowouts, yet they finished third

457
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 4: in the league.

458
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: They're that good.

459
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 4: They have the two monster blowouts with the second half

460
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 4: doesn't even matter. Oh, they suffer the hands of that,

461
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 4: and then they end up third in the league because

462
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 4: they win games ten to six, sixteen to ten. It

463
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: was ridiculous. Those are ridiculously low scores.

464
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: So we also had transaction.

465
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 2: We talked about one official I think during our Texas

466
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: training Camp live show.

467
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: The Texans did indeed sign cam Acres.

468
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: They waved injured Jared Wayne, which I always hate to

469
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 2: see guys waved injured.

470
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate.

471
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: But I had mentioned that I had first seen cam

472
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 2: Acres when he was a quarterback at Clinton High School

473
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: in Mississippi, and I remembered seeing highlights or like a

474
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: condensed version of the statechampionship game that he played in

475
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. And so I'm I'm in my office watching

476
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: this and I'm like, oh my god, But I didn't

477
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: remember the exact numbers.

478
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: I knew he was incredible that day.

479
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: His Clinton team wins the state championship forty nine to

480
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: thirty five. So you can do the math on forty

481
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 2: nine right, seven touchdowns? Well, cam Akers accounted for every

482
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: single one of them in that game. He ran the

483
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: ball thirty times for two hundred and seventeen yards and

484
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: five touchdowns. He had a long of sixty five. He

485
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: had a sixty five yard touchdown run. He then played quarterback, Yeah,

486
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: he was playing quarterback for him. He threw it twenty

487
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 2: five times, completed sixteen for two hundred and twenty eight

488
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: yards and two touchdowns. So seven touchdowns in the game,

489
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: seven touchdowns he accounted for in the game. Four hundred

490
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 2: and forty five yards throwing and rushing in the championship game.

491
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 4: For his career in high school, cam Akers throwing the

492
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 4: football here, he's only forty seven percent clip, but yeah,

493
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 4: he ends up at fifty seven. He throws for seventy

494
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 4: eight touchdowns and he rushes for seventy one, one hundred

495
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 4: and forty nine touchdowns scored in high school.

496
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: That's incredible, Holy cow. And now he's here.

497
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 4: He's got a lot of mileage, as you can tell,

498
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: a lot of mileage under that hood.

499
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 3: But we'll see if he could stay healthy. Do something here.

500
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: He's walking off the field and just I always do

501
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: that with your new players guys I've seen.

502
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: I've always known he's thick, but he's.

503
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: Got really long arms, but strong little bow leg and

504
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see him. He's had one run

505
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: in practice that just tossed him outside run. He got

506
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,239
Speaker 2: to the line of scrimmage so fast. I'm like, oh

507
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: my god, Like the blocks couldn't even set up. So

508
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 2: that was a good sign because like he's got some juice.

509
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 2: He still got his juice. And now you worry about

510
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: with the guy that's had coming off an achilles tendon tear.

511
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,479
Speaker 1: But just remember seeing him in high school, like this

512
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: guy might be the best high school after that I've

513
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: ever seen. This is unbelievable.

514
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: I was watching that and I always hope he would

515
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: become a Texan, and now he is. He is now

516
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 2: a Texan. Along with the group of defensive linemen. A

517
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 2: bunch of Texans defensive lineman. Mark and I broke down

518
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 2: the defensive line position for the Texans. You won't want

519
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: to miss it. Every single guy we just talked about.

520
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: We'll go in further on next right here on Texans

521
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: All Access. Welcome back, everybody, Monday edition to Texans All Access.

522
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 2: Coming at you from the day Texans Radio Studio. I

523
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: am John Harris, Football and South. I'm reporter for your

524
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: Houston Texans and each and every morning on Texans Training

525
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: Camp Live yours truly breaks down a particular position and

526
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: obviously Mark just lobs the fastballs in there and then

527
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: I try and knock him out of the park. So

528
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: for today, one of the more fun groups to break down, Mark,

529
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 2: which one did we do?

530
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 3: The defensive line?

531
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 4: Johnny, We've got a lot of guys. I'm gonna go

532
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 4: in no particular order here. I'm saving some of the

533
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 4: best for a last Let's start here. Because Tim Settle

534
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: came to us from the Little Bills. You and I

535
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 4: caught up with him. Really enjoyed the visit out of

536
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 4: Virginia Tech. He's been in the league for a while,

537
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 4: He's done some things.

538
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a rotational piece up in Buffalo, but massively built,

539
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: broad shoulder three hundred and fifteen, three hundred and twenty pounds,

540
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,239
Speaker 2: moves very well. Thick leverage guy. I think he can

541
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: end up being a guy inside that now he's given

542
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: the opportunity maybe to start, maybe never know. I think

543
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 2: he's gonna be a rotation of guys in that interior.

544
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: But I love athletic size, and I think that's what

545
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: Tim Settle has.

546
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: I remember watching them at Virginia Tech. A little shorter,

547
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: a little.

548
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: Bit more compact than some defensive tackles, and so he

549
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: can win those leverage battles. He's gonna be really interesting

550
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: to watch. I think you can play over the nose.

551
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 2: I think you can play out to the three technique.

552
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: I think you can play either. But I think they'll

553
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: probably play him over the nose a little bit more

554
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: than you would with some other guys.

555
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: But he's gonna be bigger than you were on the

556
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: nose last year.

557
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 2: You know when you started Malik and Sheldon last year,

558
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 2: neither one of them at the end of the year.

559
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: I guarantee you is three hundred pounds, I promise you.

560
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 2: And now you're playing one of those guys over the

561
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: nose and cells some feet he can move, so I

562
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: think he's gonna be a really good fit in this

563
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: defense with that size.

564
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 4: Staying with some of the bigger guys here Khalil Davis,

565
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 4: who we've talked about a ton. All he does is

566
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 4: make plays. Three hundred and fifteen pounds is his listed weight.

567
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: Six to third year out of Nebraska, and again a

568
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 4: guy who flashes for sure.

569
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: No doubt.

570
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 2: We saw him last year first day he came in

571
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: for training camp Daron Pads. He had just finished playing

572
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 2: with the the XFL champions or USFL champions Birmingham Stallions,

573
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 2: so he had not been too far removed from playing,

574
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: so he didn't have too much rush to shake off.

575
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 2: And it showed quick, strong, smart, learned how to use

576
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 2: his hands last year. It's one of the things in

577
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 2: talking to him that he was his defensive line coach

578
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: Is harped on last year using his hands properly getting

579
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: off and his get off is great.

580
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: He's quick, he's thick.

581
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 2: He is the perfect fit for this defense and getting

582
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 2: up field, and he just consistently made big plays last year.

583
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 2: You watch a game from last year from week three

584
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 2: on and you just see him make a big play,

585
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: a sack here, a TfL there, there was I can't

586
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: remember what came. I was watching the other day and

587
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 2: he burst into the back I think it's a Tampa

588
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 2: Bay game. He burst into the backfield and made a

589
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 2: TfL and Rashad White and thought, man, he just made

590
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: big plays last year all year, and hopefully you do

591
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: it again this year.

592
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 3: All right.

593
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 4: Another big guy, six ' four out of Yukon and

594
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 4: Queens Floranzo fought Akassi.

595
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: He's kind of got a little bit of a New

596
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 3: York accent. Three eighteen his listed weight.

597
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds big, and you see him and he

598
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: is big, but then you watch him and you're like,

599
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 2: please quick.

600
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: His feet are really really good.

601
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: That stood out to me when I was watching him

602
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 2: with Jacksonville last year, and I think that's what makes

603
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: him really really difficult on the inside.

604
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: Saw him on a play and team I think.

605
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: It was either a Saturday practice or Friday practice, and

606
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: he literally they are on pads, but they were trying

607
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 2: to scoop him. Basically, what that means is he's had

608
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 2: a three techniques on the outside part of a lineman

609
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: and a limeo was trying to get any outside of him,

610
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: and thought Tukasi just kind of snatched him up and

611
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 2: kind of held him off with one arm and then

612
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: ended up tackling the running back with his other arm.

613
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 2: I thought, that's nice. I wish you know I could

614
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 2: do that. But he's the type of guy that's gonna

615
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: be able to do those things. He reminds you, especially

616
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: when number nine one, it reminds you of Hassan Ridgeway. Well,

617
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 2: Ridgeway couldn't stay healthy last year. Hopefully Folly can stay

618
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: healthy because I think he gives you what Ridgeway was

619
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 2: gonna give you.

620
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: Plus more. So I'd love the fought Tacosi pick up.

621
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's with us. It's a plus plus. It's

622
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: a plus because he's here. It's a plus because he

623
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: left Jacksonville.

624
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 4: And it's a plus because I get to say Florunzo

625
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 4: out of the air.

626
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: Kurks he is.

627
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 3: He's always been a plus. Third year, No tre Dame.

628
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: Maybe one of the most improved players over the last

629
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:33,959
Speaker 1: three years.

630
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: He was our player of the Game against the Ravens

631
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: in the playoff game, and he was really good in

632
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: that game.

633
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: Now, his numbers are never gonna wow you.

634
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: He's not gonna end up with ten sacks any one year,

635
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 2: But just watch him the first day, just watching him

636
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 2: do things he had done the first two years and

637
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: seeing how quick and how explosive he was doing them

638
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: spin moves, you know, just his feet and his footwork.

639
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: He's worked on even more. He's not three hundred fifteen pounds.

640
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: He's maybe three hundred three oh five if he's lucky,

641
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: but he's built lower the ground. He's a little shorter

642
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 2: than some of the defensive tackles, so he gets off

643
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,719
Speaker 2: blocks really well. He's tough when he gets penetrating upfield.

644
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 2: I think Kurt Heynis is one of the more underrated

645
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: players on his team.

646
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 4: Wow McTelvin Agim out of Arkansas so s I think

647
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 4: he's as athletic as they get up front. He ran

648
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 4: down Jair Jordan the other day in practice.

649
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: I was floored.

650
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 2: Juarr Jordan caught a swing pass over on my sideline

651
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: and Sos was a I think he was the defensive

652
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: lineman on this side. And Jordan turns up the field

653
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 2: and there was there's the linebacker there, so he kind

654
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: of hesitated for that. I see fifty eight just lying

655
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: down the field, thirty yards down the field, tagging off

656
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: on him. He's an athletic dude, just really has not

657
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: had a chance to kind of establish himself any one place.

658
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: To me, he's one of the guys to watch these

659
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: preseason games. Mark go ahead.

660
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 4: Marcus Harris out of Auburn, rookie undrafted, another big guy,

661
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 4: sixty three, almost three hundred pounds.

662
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: He's he's not sixty three. I wish he if he

663
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: were six to three, he probably three hundred pounds. He

664
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: would have never gotten too the Texans and he's listed.

665
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: He's listed. He really is about six.

666
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: One and a half to eighty two, which I think

667
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: is what he was at the Senior Bowl.

668
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: But he's thick, and more importantly, he is quick. He

669
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: can get upfield in a hardbeat.

670
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: I watched the game against Georgia last year and he

671
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: really gave some really good Georgia Linemans some problems because

672
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: he got off the snap quickly. And he's strong, like

673
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: if you see his guns, his guns are the size

674
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: of our legs. So he's pretty thick. Even though he's

675
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: quote unquote undersized. He's undersized or thought to be because he's

676
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: only two hundred and eighty two pounds, but he really

677
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 2: can get upfield.

678
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: He is a fit.

679
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: I'm really curious to see when they get the pads

680
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: on how tough it is to block that guy, because

681
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: without pads, that offensive line has really touched him at times.

682
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: So I think Marcus Harris has got to definitely watch

683
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: for sure.

684
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 4: All right, let's get to the ends here, because this

685
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 4: team has two veterans going into their fifteenth season. One

686
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 4: of them, John Weeks's right in front of us, and

687
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 4: another one, Jerry Hughes, added to the roster right before camp.

688
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jerry, he has been fun to watch. And you

689
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: think a guy's in his fifteenth year. He didn't work

690
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: out OTA's mini camp. He's gonna have some rush right. Well,

691
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: the first teams really threw him into He threw that

692
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: ghost move where it looks like a rip move, but

693
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,719
Speaker 2: he just drops like a ghost. He just disappears, and

694
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: he went right around a tackle. And he didn't have

695
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: his name on the back of his jersey, and so

696
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: I didn't know who number fifty two was.

697
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, who is that?

698
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: Oh, you realize it's Jerry Hughes, and you think, man,

699
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: he's doing that again, maximizing Jerry Hughes impact fifteen to

700
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: twenty snaps a game, no more than that, and making

701
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: sure those are past rush reps. You throw a Jerry

702
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: in a pass rush mix with all the other guys

703
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: that we're gonna talk about.

704
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 4: Holy smokes, this'll be fun to watch, all right. Two

705
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 4: draft choices from USC on this squad.

706
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 3: One of them Solomon Byrd and.

707
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 2: Very skilled rushing the passer. I mean, he's got a

708
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: lot of pass rush moves. He definitely has learned that

709
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: he's not a twitchy. The numbers, you know, his combine

710
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: numbers weren't great at all. But he'll play hard, he'll

711
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: play physical. He's got to set the edge against the

712
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: run a little bit better than he did USC. But

713
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: he's got some pass rush ability, there's no question. I

714
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 2: think that's one of the reasons that they ended up

715
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: getting him. And here's the other thing about Solomon Byrd.

716
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: There are some special teams that you can put him on.

717
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: You might be able to sneak him into some special teams,

718
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: maybe punt team and maybe kickoff team.

719
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: Some of those things.

720
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: He doesn't have to especially kickoff team, because he doesn't

721
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: have to cover forty yards. But he's a pretty thick guy,

722
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: and I've seen them use him on some special team,

723
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: so I'm curious again. The more you can do, and

724
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: as a seventh round rookie man, the more you can

725
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: do fits perfectly.

726
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 4: All Right, two more longish shots before we get to

727
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 4: the names you know on the d line. Malik Fisher

728
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 4: defensive end from Billanova, undrafted free age.

729
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah it was in the UFL. Had a really good

730
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: year in the UFL. Reminds me a little bit of

731
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: Jacob Martin. He's got, you know, some light. Now, Jacob

732
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: didn't have all that length. Jacob was really a stute

733
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 2: pass rusher because he studied it. He looked at it

734
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: more science than art, but he really was good at that.

735
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: Malik's kind of that way. He's got a little bit

736
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: longer frame. I think Jacob was probably a little bit

737
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 2: better pass rusher. But Fisher, I think at seven to

738
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: eight sacks in UFL. So give him an opportunity and

739
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: see what he can do when he's one on one's

740
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: come up.

741
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: That's gonna be really fun to watch him.

742
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: Ali gay a guy's been here for a couple of

743
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: years now, and now it's time.

744
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: To show what he can do from the edge.

745
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: He's healthy now, he wasn't in OTAs, so he's got

746
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: to really prove that he's got a little bit more

747
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: in a pass rush game than he had last year.

748
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 3: And Mario Edwards ninth year, ninth year out of Florida State.

749
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: Man, I love what Mario Edwards gives them. He was

750
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: inside the other day. I'm not inside the building inside

751
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 2: as a defensive tackle. They tried to run at him.

752
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: Forget it. He just soaked that thing right up. He

753
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 2: can rush from the outside. I think he's probably put

754
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: on more weight than his listed weight. What's his listed weight,

755
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 2: like too eighty five something like that. I think he's

756
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: I think he's bigger than that. So I think they

757
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: might try and use him on the inside a little

758
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 2: bit more. And I think that's gonna be fun to

759
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: watch him when he's inside because he's so quick, but

760
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: he's still strong and when you see him, you think

761
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: he can withstand the interior. And I think that's what

762
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: they might try to do with him, cause he's a

763
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: little bigger twound eighty.

764
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 4: Okay, here we go, defensive ends continue, Denico Autrey, What

765
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 4: are we gonna get from him?

766
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: I was just watching that oilers that Titans game from

767
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: last year, and they put.

768
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 3: The name up there all over the stadium.

769
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Juice.

770
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: So it was only like his third or fourth game

771
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: of the year and he's got to face Denico Autry

772
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: in a pass rush. Deniko just gives him double swipe

773
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: and goes by him, gets a sack of case. I mean,

774
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 2: you know, Deneko Audry just kill us for years, I

775
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: mean just absolutely killed us for years. He killed us,

776
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: and now he's on our side and seeing him into

777
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: Texas Jersey is still kind of odd. But again, like

778
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: Mario Edwards, now, I think unlike Mario Edwards, I think

779
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: Autrey is probably gonna be more served being outside on

780
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: every down other than pass rush downs, and then he

781
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: can go inside like he did and that play is

782
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: described against Jews. I think you could put him pretty

783
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 2: much pretty much anywhere. So that's why I love about

784
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: Denko left right, inside, outside. He can play any of

785
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 2: those four rush spots, can rush against anybody, and I

786
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: think he's the kind of guy that you might look

787
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: for the advantage. Hey, Deniko, I think you can beat

788
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 2: this guard from the New York Giants.

789
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: Let's move you inside.

790
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: Let's move Will outside or keep Will outside and we

791
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 2: can work with that.

792
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 4: There's another category that we don't discuss much. Where would

793
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 4: we be without? Category? Because I'm gonna actually attribute this

794
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 4: to Bill O'Brien, who once upon a time said where

795
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 4: would we be without TJ.

796
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeats?

797
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: He said that in twenty fifteen when Yeats rejoined the

798
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 4: team won a couple of big games for them, most

799
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 4: notably the Cincinnati Monday Night game. Well, we could have

800
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 4: said this last year, where would we be without Derek Bartnett,

801
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 4: who they acquired relatively lately in the season, did some

802
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 4: great things, especially with Will and Grenard all banged up

803
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 4: defensive end, makes plays. He's does he have a ring

804
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 4: with the Eagles? Yes, he doesn't have a ring with Eagles,

805
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 4: And now he's here again. Barnett in every game that

806
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 4: he played the last.

807
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 2: Five or six with the Texans and the two in

808
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs, he had a TfL and a quarterback hit

809
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 2: in every single game minus the last one. He just

810
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 2: didn't have a quarterback hit. He had a TfL in

811
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: every game. He ended up with two and a half sacks,

812
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: but quarterback hitting a TfL in every game. He was

813
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: that impactful from the second he stepped onto this field

814
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 2: for the Texans. And again, he doesn't have to play

815
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: every single snap, So he got Danil Hunter and Will Anderson.

816
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to play every single snap.

817
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 2: But then he comes in fresh and Will and Deaneil

818
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 2: have been beating up those tackles and now Barnett's going

819
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 2: against the tackle that's kind of been loosened up a

820
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: little bit and Derek can go to work strong against

821
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 2: the run. He's slippery inside, still got a lot of

822
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: game left. I'm so glad they brought him back. And

823
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 2: you just add Barnett to Audrey, to the next two

824
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: guys we're gonna talk about and Jerry hughes Man. That's

825
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 2: as good a five person defensive end group as I

826
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 2: have heard since we've been here, right even close.

827
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 4: All right, local guy Daniel Hunter double digit sacks from Minnesota, and.

828
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: He led the league in TFLs hit twenty three TFLs

829
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 2: last year, So you.

830
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: Know, the guy can play the run as well.

831
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 3: Huge.

832
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 2: He he wants to be a four down lineman. He

833
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 2: wants to put his hand in the dirt, but he

834
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 2: can also rush inside. That's one of the things that

835
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: he did in Minnesota. Doesn't love to do it.

836
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: You know, none of those.

837
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: Defensivens love to do it unless they can get that

838
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: two way go against the guard. And you give Danil

839
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: Hunter a two way go, it's over. He is chopping

840
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: and ripping and swiping. His hands are so good. He's

841
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: improved so much over the years. At LSU, he was

842
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 2: just an athlete, kind of running around. He confirmed that

843
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: when we talked to him this offseason. But he has

844
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 2: grown his game. He understands what he has to be

845
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 2: able to do on a down end, down out basis.

846
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to see what that guy looks in

847
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: a Texans uniform in a game opposite the last guy

848
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:30,959
Speaker 2: we'll talk about.

849
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 4: All right, Yes, second year out of Alabama, defensive rookie

850
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 4: of the year.

851
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what he weighs.

852
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 4: What does he say six sixty now to sixty three

853
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 4: is really six to four? I think he's six. Will

854
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 4: Anderson Junior, my gosh, can't wait to see the encore performance.

855
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: He's the alpha. He is the alpha. It is through

856
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: him everything goes defensively, and not that every scheme or

857
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: every uh, every you know, pass rush, twist stunt game

858
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 2: is a Will Anderson thing. When I'm talking about everything

859
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 2: runs through him. It's the attitude of that defense. Now,

860
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: Zizel Shier, I'm glad they brought in because he could

861
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: take some of that. But Will Anderson sets the tone.

862
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: His intensity is gonna set the tone for that group.

863
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: Everything that he does is gonna set the tone. When

864
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 2: he had a sack last year, Energy Stadium lit up.

865
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: Remember that game against Tennessee week seventeen. He's got an

866
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 2: ankle that he probably can't even walk normal, and that

867
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: ankle had been that way for a few weeks, but

868
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 2: he knew it was a gotta have it situation. He

869
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 2: went out there for twelve snaps that game, had two sacks,

870
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 2: beat the left tackle.

871
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: The first one and the second one. They're like, well,

872
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: we better help the left tackle.

873
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: Then he went through the running back and the left

874
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 2: tackle to get a second sack, got Tennessee out of

875
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: field goal range right before the half. Was absolutely massive.

876
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 2: That's just the impact he has. And that was his

877
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: first year. And we talked to him a couple of

878
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: times this offseason. He's just like, I'm just working to

879
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: get better. And if he's working to get better, and

880
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: that's the kind of guy that will get better. He'll

881
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 2: learn more, he'll understand what tackles are trying to do.

882
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: He can set them up a little bit better. You know,

883
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 2: he's going on thousand miles an hour, and for that alone,

884
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 2: it's the intensity. And I wrote this in Harris Hits

885
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: the other day when I was out on the field.

886
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 2: I look over in the defensive end. I think it

887
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: was Saturday, look around and there are you know, a

888
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 2: lot of players have gone inside to the bubble because

889
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: THEYD O and D walk through. And I look up

890
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 2: and it's eight forty five and there's not many people

891
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: on the field. And I look over and Will is

892
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: by himself going through the bags, working a dummy, working

893
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 2: his past for rush, just by himself, and I just thought, man, dang,

894
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: he walks it talks it. Plenty of guys have talked it,

895
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: but then they just get in the field and like, eh,

896
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 2: they don't walk it. He does both. He is the

897
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 2: outpha that defense, and I love it. He's gonna set

898
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 2: the tone for this team all ye long.

899
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 4: All right, that's your defensive line position. Grew breakdown and

900
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 4: we do this kind of stuff every day during Texans

901
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 4: training camp live so at the ends. You look at

902
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 4: Will Anderson Jr. Daniel Barnett. I've got Autrey listed as

903
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 4: an end on this roster, but you know he can

904
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 4: play inside and maybe Hughes or somebody else or Bird

905
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 4: since he was drafted. Right, But let's say they go.

906
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 4: Didn't Nick say they could keep ten or more?

907
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 3: Was he saying or more?

908
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 2: No?

909
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: Way?

910
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 3: More?

911
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe hang on a second. Maybe The problem again,

912
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 2: the problem is is none of those guys on up

913
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: playing special teams.

914
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

915
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: Now here's the funny part of that, is, right, is

916
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: if you asked Will Anderson to play special teams, he would.

917
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: He probably wants to.

918
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 3: It's like wanting to play on the putt team in Cleveland.

919
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 4: You know, he's probably dying to make place that way.

920
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

921
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like I could.

922
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: Get after him.

923
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah you can, but don't don't get the fifteen yarder.

924
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah but that was awesome.

925
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 2: But but that that I think could end up being

926
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 2: the that's gonna end up being one of the issues

927
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,479
Speaker 2: is none of the those guys will play the defense

928
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 2: line won't play special teams.

929
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: Now, now, they could get Bird maybe to do it.

930
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: And I think the bigger guys you can put on

931
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: certain like field goal block and you know that kind

932
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 2: of thing. But they won't be core four special teamers,

933
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 2: and so that that keeps you from probably what having

934
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 2: eleven guys there, but the top five defensive end rushers,

935
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: Will Anderson Junior, Daniel Hunter, Deniko Autry, Derek Barnett, Jerry Hughes. Okay,

936
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 2: so in the past first situation, you're gonna have no,

937
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: no fewer than three of those guys on the field.

938
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: And then let's just say a drive is going along,

939
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: and let's go to the fourth quarter.

940
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 2: Fourth quarter up, seven teams got the ball and they

941
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: go into a no hutle situation.

942
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you do?

943
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 2: You put you put three of those guys out there,

944
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: and you put a defensive tackle just in case they

945
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 2: try and sneak up you know, a trap or you

946
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 2: know a drawer or something like that in it. Right,

947
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 2: those guys rush for three or four What happened on

948
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 2: those long drives, they start dying, right, Yeah, they're just gassed.

949
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: Well there's a throat of bounds or they change personnel.

950
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 2: Run the next group out there. Yeah, you still have

951
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 2: three guys you can put out there, right, that can

952
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 2: rush from all different locations.

953
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 3: It's the beauty of it.

954
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

955
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: If you throw Mario Edwards and that group, that gives

956
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: you six and Edwards and Autry could be your inside

957
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 2: guy for either one of those.

958
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: Just go backwards.

959
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 4: So you go ten DL, ten dbs, right, yeah, probably

960
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 4: six corners, four safeties. However, you want to break it

961
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 4: down and then you have five slots left over roughly

962
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,479
Speaker 4: because you're gonna go twenty five to twenty five to three.

963
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 4: You know it could be twenty four to twenty six

964
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 4: that it usually is one guy swing. Yeah, yeah, but

965
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 4: with the linebackers. You do need the linebackers for special teams,

966
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 4: no doubt. But like we talked about, why do we

967
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 4: even talk about three starting linebackers anymore, it's not. It's

968
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 4: not three starting linebackers.

969
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: It's two.

970
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 4: Because you're a nickel over sixty percent of the time

971
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 4: anyway in this league.

972
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: That's right.

973
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 4: So that's how you have to look at it. And look,

974
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 4: we got a lot of long time to talk this.

975
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 4: We have seven weeks from yesterday until opening day against

976
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 4: the Colts.

977
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: I thought about this after we did that segment. Seven

978
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: weeks sounds like a long time. It's not. It is

979
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: really not. It's gonna fly by, and especially because you

980
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 2: got the preseason games, four of them, storry with the

981
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame game on August first, so you've got

982
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 2: a lot of opportunities to see these guys. But that

983
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 2: is going to go in a blink, so we better

984
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: be ready. What about green Bay? Is green Bay ready?

985
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: Is green Bay ready.

986
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: To live without love? Hmm?

987
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 2: We'll discuss we go around in the league next right

988
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: here in Texans All Access.

989
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: What's Happened Everybody?

999
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: The energy and you'll probably get a little fomo.

1000
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but you're gonna be driving

1001
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 2: around wishing you'd be there at practice with me. With us,

1003
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 2: to go around the NFL. And this is a story

1004
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: that popped up this morning actually, I think just after

1005
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 2: Texas training camp live.

1006
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: I can't remember when I first saw this, but Jordan Love, quarterback.

1007
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers, will not practice, according to his agents

1008
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 2: until his contract is redone. Now GM Brian Goodikuz says, hey,

1009
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: we're getting close. We think we're close to having this.

1010
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 2: We don't think this is going to be an issue.

1011
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 2: So again, deadlines spur action, and so the Packers are

1012
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 2: reporting to camp very soon. I can't remember what day

1013
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 2: it is, but they're reporting camp obviously any day now.

1014
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: But they will not have Jordan Love out at practice.

1015
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: He will be a hold in. That's what a lot

1016
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: of these players have done lately.

1017
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 2: They're there so they can't get fined, but they're not

1018
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 2: practicing and there's nothing really a team can do about it.

1019
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 1: So that's the way it'll be handled.

1020
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 2: But his agents, David Mulugetta, I believe it is Jordan

1021
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: Love's agent.

1022
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: They will hold out. Now.

1023
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 2: The contract situation for Love's a little different than others.

1024
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 2: The twenty twenty fourth season will be Love's second as

1025
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 2: full time starter, but it's the fifth on a Packers payroll.

1026
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 2: It's the final year of a one year extension to

1027
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 2: his four year rookie contract, so it definitely is time

1028
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 2: to get Love extended, especially after the year last year.

1029
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 2: So his representation told the Packers not practicing until a deal.

1030
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: Is done, and I think that's the right thing to do.

1031
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: Will hold in a little Love in and they'll get

1032
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: that deal done, I would imagine before too long.

1033
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 2: Speaking of contracts, Jamar Chase is coming out of his

1034
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 2: third year. Mike Brown, the president of the Let's just

1035
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: Say Bengals, says, we will do whatever we have to.

1036
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: We will bend over backwards to make sure that Jamar

1037
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 2: Chase is taken care of. Now, his LSU teammate Justin

1038
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 2: Jefferson just signed a four year, one hundred and forty

1039
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 2: million dollars deal he works in the league. Jamar Chase

1040
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 2: will sign one for beyond that. Making it tricky is

1041
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 2: the t Higgins situation. But he's gonna play the sho

1042
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 2: under tag and then I guess says he'll go somewhere

1043
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 2: else next year and be a free agent for the

1044
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: class of twenty five. But the Bengals said, that's our guy,

1045
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase. We will bend over backwards to make sure

1046
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 2: he is here. With Joe Burrow, Hard Knocks has been

1047
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: with the New York Giants. We've been watching that. In fact,

1048
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 2: a interesting episode is coming on as it sort of

1049
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 2: relates to this news from the New York Giants.

1050
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: Quarterback Daniel Jones should be.

1051
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 2: Ready to go by training can has his acl torn

1052
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 2: last year. If you've been following that story, he was

1053
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 2: out the rest of the year. Tommy DeVito stepped up

1054
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 2: for a little bit. He became kind of a cult

1055
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 2: hero for about three or three weeks. But in the end,

1056
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 2: the Giants really struggled without Daniel Jones. Now I don't

1057
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 2: think that I think the Giants were gonna struggle regardless

1058
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 2: because it did with Daniel Jones.

1059
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: But he is and I quote ready to go, said Jones.

1060
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 2: I feel good, ready to go, ready to go for

1061
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: training camp, looking forward to next Wednesday. Now he does

1062
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 2: not believe that Darren Waller, he does not have Darren Waller.

1063
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 2: Darren Waller retired, but Daniel Jones should be ready to go.

1064
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 2: What makes this interesting is a Tuesday night episode of

1065
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 2: Hard knocks, there is going to be discussion of a

1066
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels or a trade for Jaden Daniels. Oh, now,

1067
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 2: the Giants ended up taking Eleak neighbors Jayden Daniels teammate

1068
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:51,919
Speaker 2: at LSU.

1069
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: But how interesting is this.

1070
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 2: They're gonna start camp, Jones is ready to go, and

1071
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 2: then that episode is gonna air showing the Giants apparently

1072
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 2: entertaining deals to trade up to go get Jade and Daniels.

1073
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: Now obviously didn't work because they ended up with the

1074
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 1: league neighbors. But interesting.

1075
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 2: Nonetheless, in Dallas, Trayvon Diggs brother Stefan Diggs all pro

1076
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: cornerback in Dallas towards ACL in week three or prior

1077
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 2: to week three, before the game against Arizona, he will

1078
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 2: start to earn.

1079
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: An active pup kind of like Andrew Back, Danelo Ross,

1080
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: Delshaun Phillips.

1081
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 2: They work out on the side and then they'll get

1082
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: back whenever they're healthy, they can play.

1083
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 1: They're not out for the year. There's two distinctions in pup.

1084
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 2: This is the one that allows Treyvon Diggs to come back,

1085
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 2: and he more than likely will at some point.

1086
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: All right, that's the show.

1087
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,760
Speaker 2: Big thanks to Mark to all you guys for listening
