Speaker 1: This is a young team. We're on the cuss.

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 2: They're hungry to get better.

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 3: Peers letting right, spind barrels his way to down on

5
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 4: Want to run by Piers.

6
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: These are the type of guys, the type of men

7
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: that we want in our locker room.

8
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 3: Tend her Sapit Christian Harris.

00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: And if you want it, you gotta go work it now.

12
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: It's Texans all xys.

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 3: Working tonight here in the Hot Day Texans Radio studio.

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 3: Hello Texans, Mark VanderMeer with you know Johnny tonight. It's

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: Johnny McClain, the General, and I'm bringing you this program,

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 3: the first part of it anyway, and it's always a

17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: thrill to catch up with John McClain on a Thursday,

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: as we always do, especially during organized team activities. That's

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: what OTA's stands for. I get that question a lot.

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: What does OTAs mean? That's what it means. It's basically, right, general,

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: it's off season practice.

22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 4: Good evening.

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: Well, thank you very much for having me.

24
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 5: I'll try to see if I can fill in for

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 5: John Harris in a way that will make him proud. Now,

26
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 5: I've never been to an had never heard one player

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 5: during the season say, man, I'm having a great season

28
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 5: at all started OTAs, or man, I'm really struggling at

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 5: all if I'd have just done better than OTAs. OTAs

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 5: are for coaches and players, especially new players and young

31
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 5: players are in this case, so many guys are trying

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 5: to learn what Bobby Slowick is putting in. I'm writing

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 5: a column about Slowik and CJ. Stroud right now for

34
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 5: Sports Radio six ' ten dot com RAE one yesterday

35
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 5: about Matt Burke and what he's doing with the me

36
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 5: called defense. It's about learning because the systems are new

37
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: and defense is more familiar than the offense and slowing.

38
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 5: Everybody talks about Kyle Shannan. This offense came from Mike Shannan,

39
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 5: and then Gary Kubiak put it in with a little

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 5: some of his wrinkles, and then Kyle Shannan put it

41
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 5: in with some of his wrinkles. And you know, Bobby

42
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 5: Slowan's had things that he wants to do when he

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 5: gets an offense and becomes the first time play caller,

44
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: and we're not going to see it until they get

45
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 5: into games. And I can't wait for the joint practices

46
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 5: with the Dolphins and the scenes because you know, Mark,

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 5: those joint practice coaches would rather do that than have

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 5: preseason games because they can control everything and be guaranteed

49
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 5: of getting the kind of work that they want to.

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 5: So I'm already pumped about that. And so right now

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 5: I'm trying to watch the young players strout of course,

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 5: and I'll watch Case Keenum just because I like Case.

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 5: I just wrote he comes back like Bluebodets every spring,

54
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 5: and that's the truth. His third tour here, he's been

55
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 5: He's been such a big part of Houston, going back

56
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 5: to U of H still has national passing records. I

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 5: think bringing him in here as a mentor to Troud

58
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 5: and Anne Davis Mills was a great move that may

59
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 5: may never mean squad on the field because you hope

60
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 5: he never plays, but it was tremendous having him there.

61
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 5: And so I'm watching the quarterbacks. I'm watching the rookie

62
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 5: receivers like Tank Dell Xavier Hudginson. It can't tell much

63
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 5: about defensive players, but when they're playing Miami and you

64
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 5: see Tyreek Hill running down the field with Derek Stingley

65
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 5: trying to keep up with him. That's going to be

66
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 5: a great thing for Stingley at the time when it comes.

67
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 5: But right now, I'm just trying to figure out which

68
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 5: coaches are whom because you see them and you know

69
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 5: who they are, but you want to watch them on

70
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 5: the field. And we got talked to him yesterday, and

71
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: I think this is great. I love talking to the

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 5: assistant coaches.

73
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we'll get to one of them, Gerard Johnson.

74
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: And segment two is DP City, who had a chance

75
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: to visit with him yesterday.

76
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: So I'm looking forward to hearing that.

77
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: I bet you that excuse me, I bet you DP

78
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: didn't ask him this question that I did. And the

79
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 5: question was to Grid, when you were young, did you

80
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 5: ever actually learn anything from bag of Burgers? And he

81
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 5: started laughing because that was what they call John Lopez

82
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 5: when he coached their basketball team. John is like Gerard's substitute,

83
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 5: Drid's substitute father. They're really close. And he watched him

84
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 5: grow and the players on the team started calling John

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 5: bag of burgers. I said, well, you can't call Bob it.

86
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 5: Get it confused here. And so because John was always

87
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 5: going to get a bag of burgers and bringing them

88
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 5: back to feed them. So that's what they called him,

89
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 5: and he have a really good answer. But he did

90
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 5: a great interview with DP. People should be eager to

91
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 5: hear that because he was while Bobby Slowick, this is

92
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 5: my lead, is mastering the art. If he's asked about

93
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 5: one player, will make it about the position. When he's

94
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 5: asked about Stroud out of respect, he brings in Mills

95
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 5: and Kingom. And the fact is everybody wants to know

96
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 5: about Stroud. But dron Man, he was great talking about

97
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 5: Stroud and their relationship and they go back a long way.

98
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 5: And so I'm I can't wait to see dp's interview.

99
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: Yep, it's gonna be fun to digest that. And segment two,

100
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: you brought up a lot of stuff here case Keenom

101
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 3: still the all time leading pastor in NCAA history. I

102
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: love that note on him. He put up a number

103
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 3: that's going to be very difficult to break. But let's

104
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: go back to the OTAs and the importance or lack

105
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: thereof when you're dealing with a veteran team maybe, but

106
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 3: with a young team, as you pointed out, general important

107
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: to get the timing down important to get the systems installed. Now,

108
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel with the Dolphins, that's a little bit more

109
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: of a veteran team. Of course, they have ten sessions

110
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 3: they're allowed to have. He's only going to have six,

111
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: and he says he wants to reward the guys for

112
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: doing a good job and also insteativize them to do

113
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 3: a much better job at the times they're out there

114
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: on the field. What do you think of that applied

115
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: to training camp? And I know training camp has changed

116
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: over the years. We don't do two a days anymore.

117
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: When I started in the league twenty years ago, there

118
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: were two days, but the second one was mostly a

119
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: special team's practice. Still it was another practice for a

120
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: lot of the players, and we gradually morphed into no

121
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: twa days during training camp. But do you think coaches

122
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: eventually will really dial down training camp practices because of

123
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: the wear and tear leading into the season.

124
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 4: How do you think they'll approach that?

125
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 5: My god, it's already been dialed down so much now

126
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 5: they don't even have full contact you're talking about when

127
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 5: you started. When I started, they had two three hour

128
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 5: practices every day for six weeks and just beat the

129
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 5: hell out of each other, and and and but the

130
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 5: union rules when they when they negotiated new collective baring agreements.

131
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: The taxis the Texans.

132
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 5: The teams have the players have spent more time getting

133
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 5: time off than worried about money. And that's good because

134
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 5: they take such good care of themselves. Teams give them facilities.

135
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 5: You know, you're there every day. You got a cafeteria,

136
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 5: you can get three meals, you can get anything you.

137
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: Want over there. And the idea was to keep them there.

138
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 5: When when I started governing the Oilers, they had like

139
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 5: a couple of one bench press, a few dumbbells, and

140
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 5: if you wanted to lift weights, you usually went to

141
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 5: got a gym membership on your own, and nobody had food.

142
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 5: They'd send rookies out to local restaurants to bring it back.

143
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 5: So teams like the Texans have great facilities. And if

144
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 5: players do what they're supposed to, and most of them do.

145
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 5: You know, the training camp, you don't see many guys

146
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 5: get hurt, They get nicked up, they get pulled muscles

147
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 5: and stuff. But you know, if a guy goes to

148
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 5: the ground, it's by accident because he's tripped and following

149
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 5: or run into somebody. So if the Dolphins do well

150
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 5: and if they win the Super Bowl, everybody's going, oh, well,

151
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 5: what can we do? Oh, Mike McDaniel shorten OTAs And

152
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 5: since OTA's McDaniel's there, he's taught his system. They don't

153
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 5: have a lot of new players, where the Texans have

154
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 5: new coaches, new systems, so many new players they need

155
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 5: every minute they can get. But I remember Bill O'Brien

156
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 5: told me this once, Mark He said, what he wanted

157
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 5: to see in an Ota is when the coaches taught

158
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 5: him in the classroom and they went out on the

159
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 5: field to see what they remembered, if they made if

160
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 5: they made mental mistakes.

161
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: And he said.

162
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 5: Sometimes and I remember he used this with Deshaun Watson

163
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 5: his first at Mini camp. Was that you could tell

164
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 5: he listened, and you could tell he studied overnight because

165
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 5: he came in and asked questions based on what he

166
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 5: was supposed to have seen, and some of them would

167
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 5: be clueless, and you could tell they weren't. And so

168
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 5: players who impressed the coaches with the mental stuff at

169
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 5: this time of year, that's the way to get ahead.

170
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 5: Then you got to take it to the field. Of course,

171
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 5: But as far as could other teams do that, I

172
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 5: think it just depends on how the Dolphins do.

173
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: To a tongue of Ilo has been.

174
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 5: Hurt every year he's been in football, so the odds

175
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 5: are going to get hurt again. And then they're talking

176
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 5: about Tom Brady may come out of retirement to play

177
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 5: it for Miami because he wanted to do it two

178
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 5: years ago, and his kids are there. And I heard

179
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 5: a day an interview with Rick Stroud, who covers the

180
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 5: Bugs Forever for the Tampa Times. He thinks Brady will

181
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 5: continue to work out and throw the football in case

182
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 5: a perfect situation comes up. But if tuists were to

183
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 5: stay healthy for the first time and they win, people

184
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 5: would be looking at see what they did. And I'm

185
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 5: sure you'd see some teams shorten their OTAs, But the

186
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 5: odds of them doing because of his injury history are

187
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 5: not very realistic to me.

188
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: You think that's why Brady decided, Hey, I don't want

189
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: to do the Fox thing until twenty twenty four. I

190
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 3: don't want to get into the broadcast booth until the

191
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: following season. I need the year off, but I want

192
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: to hedge my bet here. I want to be ready

193
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: stay in shape in case there is that situation you mentioned.

194
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: I think that's a great observation. Mark. I hadn't thought

195
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: about it like that.

196
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 5: I thought he just wanted like a gap year before

197
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 5: he made thirty seven and a half million dollars a

198
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 5: year or whatever he's going to make for Fox, which

199
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 5: would be more than he ever made the NFL. But

200
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 5: I'll bet you, considering we've seen him come back before

201
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 5: and the way Rick strad was talking about it, it

202
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 5: wouldn't be the Raiders. They're not a perfect situation. But

203
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 5: the Dolphins have loaded with talent. He's got receivers like

204
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 5: he's never had, with the kind of speed they at.

205
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 5: He didn't even have that in Tampa with Mike Evans

206
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 5: being his best receiver, and they have everything in place

207
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 5: to be a prolific offense, which we saw last year

208
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 5: when two was healthy and Brady could just step right in.

209
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 5: The worst thing for Tom Brady to me, would be

210
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 5: if he did that and say the Dolphins were really

211
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 5: good and he went down, say first of December, and

212
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 5: Brady comes back and he's not any good anymore. And

213
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 5: if that's the case, it's not going to kill his legacy.

214
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 5: But based on everything he's done in his career, just

215
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 5: at this point, it would kind of tarnish it a

216
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 5: little bit, but you know, people would soon forget about it.

217
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: We still haven't gotten the press conference, right, We never

218
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: got a retirement press conference out of him, which I

219
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: pointed out last year, and I don't think we got

220
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: one this year either.

221
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 4: So I'm wondering, is.

222
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: That another sign when you're talking about him and stepping

223
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: away for good, Because doesn't his exit from NFL football

224
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 3: warrant a gigantic press conference and some questions and reflections

225
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: and that kind of thing.

226
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he doesn't want to do that.

227
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 5: He put out the statement today saying he's done, and

228
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 5: a lot of people don't believe it. You know, he's

229
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 5: trying to be a minor partner in the Raiders organization,

230
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 5: and he's got the money. You know, he's made a

231
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 5: whole lot of money he's going to invest in the

232
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 5: team and the value continues to go up. So people

233
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 5: are saying, well, if Jimmy Garoppolo can't play, they got

234
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: Tom Brady right there. Well, he might not decide that's

235
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 5: the best situation for him, where he wants to be

236
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 5: around his kids. He lives in Florida the Dolphins, as

237
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 5: Rick Stroud said, it would be the perfect situation for

238
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 5: him because they have everything in place to contend for,

239
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 5: not just the playoffs the super Bowl. They just play

240
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 5: in such a tough division. And Rick surmised that Brady

241
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 5: will work out like crazy, but he's not going to

242
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 5: let anybody see him do it, and whoever he does.

243
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,119
Speaker 2: It with will be sworn to secrecy.

244
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 3: Well, the backup quarterbacks on the Dolphins right Mike White

245
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: who was previously with the Jets, Skylar Thompson we saw

246
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: last year, and James Blackman who is a college free agent,

247
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 3: so you never know what happens. Back to the Texans

248
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: quarterback situation general, with CJ. Stroud out there yesterday, we

249
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 3: all saw him. Look, you mentioned Watson, and I can't

250
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: help but compare the two situations because that's the last

251
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 3: time we had a highly touted rookie in here. David

252
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: Carr was a long time ago, so this is the

253
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 3: most recent similar situation. And I know it's not apples

254
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: to apples, and the offense is different, and who knows

255
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 3: where they go from here, but it took three or

256
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 3: four weeks for Watson to really show something I thought

257
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: in this time of year, the offseason practice is for CJ.

258
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 4: Stroud.

259
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 3: I thought he made a nice leap from week one

260
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 3: to week two and he's really showing you some things

261
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: out there.

262
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: Now.

263
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 4: It's early and I got a long way.

264
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 3: To go here, but looks pretty promising. And Bobby Slowic

265
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 3: said as much. And I think you know people are

266
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: talking about Davis Mills.

267
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 4: What do you do? Listen, They're all important. Case meet him,

268
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 4: Davis Mills, CJ. Stroud. You need a roster filled with quarterbacks.

269
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: You need a stable of quarterbacks because you never know

270
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 3: what happens injury wise. Stroud could get off to a

271
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: great start and you'll hope it continues.

272
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 4: You hope he stays healthy.

273
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 3: Look what happened We mentioned Watson, Look what happened at

274
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen. You always need insurance at this position.

275
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 5: Right absolutely, And they've got Mills under contract for this year,

276
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 5: next year in case, I expect this will be the

277
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 5: last team. In case plays bour and I expect him

278
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 5: to go into coaching. It just depends on what level

279
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 5: he wants to coach. Whever he wants to start in

280
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 5: the NFL immediately, maybe coach at you of ahed. I

281
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 5: don't think he'd be a high school coach, but you

282
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 5: never know. But case kingam as coach renting all over

283
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 5: and he also I think would be good as a broadcaster,

284
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 5: But I just think coaches in his future. And he's

285
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 5: almost it's almost like he's starting unofficially now by helping

286
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 5: with CJ. Stroud's development. When Watson came off the bench

287
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 5: in the first game against Jacksonville, he got cream just

288
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 5: like Tom Savage had Jaguars defense ten sacks, they blew

289
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 5: them away. We didn't have any idea they were going

290
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 5: to get as close to the Super Bowl as they did,

291
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 5: losing in the fourth quarter at Foxborough. But then he

292
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 5: started that second game in Cincinnati on the road primetime,

293
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 5: and remember his best play was a run. So he

294
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 5: made a lot of mistakes and Stroud will make a

295
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 5: lot of mistakes too. That's like if they started meals

296
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 5: this season, which they're not, but if they did, they

297
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 5: might win a couple of more games, because you're going

298
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 5: to have ups and downs with a rookie quarterback and

299
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 5: you want to see progress. I it's amazing to me

300
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 5: how many people are picking next year's draft for Arizona

301
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 5: that have first two pigs. And I heard somebody day

302
00:15:54,920 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 5: on NFL radio talking about could this be like the

303
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 5: these are veteran people on there, like Arizona when they

304
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 5: drafted Josh Rosen in other words, comparing Stroud to Josh Rosen.

305
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 5: I'm like, my god, have you not paid any attention?

306
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 5: So the Texans might next year, Well, they're not going

307
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 5: to be in a position to draft Caleb Williams or

308
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 5: Drake May because they don't have that I pick.

309
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: I think it would be.

310
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 5: Incredible if the Texans some out. I'm not predicting this mark,

311
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 5: but stranger things have happened that the Texans won eight

312
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 5: or nine games and the Browns only won seven or

313
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 5: eight and that Arizona draft choice was below the Texans

314
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 5: first raft pick.

315
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could certainly happen. We don't know what's gonna

316
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 3: happen with Cleveland. They had a lot of talent last

317
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: year and look what happened. I know they had Jacobe

318
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: Brissett starting the bulk of those games, but they did

319
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 3: not set the world on fire when you know who

320
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: got into the lineup general. One of the things that

321
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: and you talk about the Texans winning more games than

322
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 3: projected by some or by many. Maybe one of the

323
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 3: reasons is the running back crew here, and I get

324
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: excited thinking about this. You have Damian Pierce, who looked

325
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: really good last year, and you also have the leading

326
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: rusher for the Buffalo Bills, a thirteen and three football team,

327
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 3: and they would have still had him happily on the roster,

328
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: but it was a contract year they couldn't pay him.

329
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 4: And here he is.

330
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: Devin Singletary and the other guys are at no slouches.

331
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 3: We saw Mike Boone making plays yesterday. Jared Doakes looks interesting.

332
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 3: You know that Dario Gunbwale can play a little bit

333
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: and certainly special teams that he can run the ball

334
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: when needed.

335
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 4: What do you think of that stable of backs?

336
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 5: Danny Barrett, who is now on his fourth head coach here,

337
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 5: Danny does a great job with the backs. And I

338
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 5: asked him yesterday about the split. I knew he wasn't

339
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 5: gonna tell me. They don't know that now. I asked

340
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 5: him in a perfect world, and he wouldn't say. But

341
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 5: I'm thinking today, with an eighteen week season, seventeen games,

342
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 5: you hope eventually to have more than seventeen that you

343
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 5: and you have Singletary probably for one season, and he's

344
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 5: a really good receiver. That was another benefit. Danny talked

345
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 5: about the importance of him as a receiver, plus importance

346
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 5: of a running game, to being a rookie quarterback's best friend.

347
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 5: But originally I was thinking, oh, seventy five to thirty five.

348
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 5: Now I'm thinking sixty five to sixty five in forty five.

349
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 5: And you hope, but the odds are somebody's going to

350
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 5: get hurt. And the way Pierce is such a physical runner,

351
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 5: you can't change him. He's not going to run out

352
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 5: of bauds. You know he's destined to get beat up.

353
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 5: You hope he doesn't have an injury like last year

354
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 5: that keeps him out of the last four games. I'm

355
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 5: guessing if they'd been in a playoff race, he wouldn't

356
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 5: have been out in the last four games. I think

357
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 5: that was smart to shut him down. He didn't get

358
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 5: a lot of carries at Florida. He didn't get too

359
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 5: much mileage on him last year. This year, I think

360
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 5: the running game and Validae. What's what's his first name,

361
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 5: Xavian Vala Day who was a really good running back

362
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 5: at college. You know he could end up being the

363
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 5: third one. He could be on the practice squad. You

364
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 5: mentioned about Ambawally had been a good reserve and a

365
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 5: good special teams player. And I don't know about booneout

366
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 5: he's been in the league for a while. He's destined

367
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 5: for special teams.

368
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 2: But if he.

369
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 5: Makes it, But those first two, Singletary is better at

370
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 5: anybody they had coming off the bench last year. And

371
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 5: the fact that you can throw shorter passes to backs

372
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 5: coming out of the backfield, I would venture to guess

373
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 5: they will utilize the backs, specifically Singletary in the running game.

374
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 5: I think had Pierce stay in all year, he was

375
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 5: on a pace for more than twelve hundred yards, and

376
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 5: they wouldn't have been as bad as they were, uh

377
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 5: in the running game. You know last year in the

378
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 5: running game, my goodness, they were thirty first and as

379
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 5: with Piers, but if he had missed those last and

380
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 5: been terribly misused in the first game when Reg's Birkhead

381
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 5: touched the ball more than him, you know, they wouldn't

382
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 5: have been thirty first and rushing average in eighty six

383
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 5: point eight yards.

384
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think you look at this as a

385
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 3: group and it's so exciting to think about the potential. Now,

386
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: what about receiver here, because look, we'd love to see

387
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 3: John Metchi out there, and he's got an injury he's

388
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 3: dealing with, and we know what else he's dealing with

389
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 3: after missing last year with leukemia my goodness. So you'll

390
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: hope that he can get up the speed quickly once

391
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: camp hits. But man, Nico Collins looks good, and I

392
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: like what I see out of Robert Woods on and

393
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 3: off the field so far. And Xavier Hutchinson, it is Xavier.

394
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's Xavier, sometimes it's Xavier. He prefers Xavier. Xavier

395
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: Hutchinson opens some eyes as well. They got a lot

396
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: of guys to choose from here general, it could be

397
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 3: pretty interesting.

398
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't have a great receiver. That's something they're

399
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 5: still gonna need next year. I was just gonna call

400
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 5: him ex. If you want to be called x Xavier,

401
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 5: everybody's gonna call you ex. People call everybody Xavier because

402
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 5: of Xavier being so good in basketball all the time.

403
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 5: I watched him at Iowa State and he was a

404
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 5: great college receiver. I know he ran a slow time

405
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 5: and maybe he didn't work out so well, But if

406
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 5: you just watched tape of him play at Iowa State.

407
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 5: There's no way he should have been available. I think

408
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 5: it was so smart of Casio the trade to get

409
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 5: him and then Tank Dell. Tank's going to help the

410
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 5: return game. He and match her inside receivers. Like people

411
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 5: every radio station keeps asking me about DeAndre Hopkins, I said,

412
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 5: you're not going to have a rebuilding team two thirty

413
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 5: one year old receivers, and Op turns thirty one next week.

414
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 5: There's no way that takes away what you're doing. You're

415
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 5: trying to see these young players. Nico Collins been hurt

416
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 5: way too much in his first two years. He needs

417
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 5: to stay healthy because last year he looked good when

418
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 5: he was healthy, and if he's injured for a third

419
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 5: year in a row, that's going to hurt his career

420
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 5: big time. And I think Woods and we all know

421
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 5: most of the time, when you have a major injury

422
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 5: like a torn ACL, it's your second year when you're

423
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 5: all the way back physically and mentally subconsciously. So I

424
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 5: look for Robert Woods, who's thirty one. The last great

425
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 5: season he had was twenty twenty, just like Hops last

426
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 5: great season was two thousand and twenty. I look for

427
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 5: Woods to be the go to receiver for CJ. Stroud

428
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 5: because he's young and Robert's older and experienced, and he's

429
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 5: going to take him under his wing, and he's going

430
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 5: to be in the right place when he's supposed to be.

431
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 5: I would imagine he's going to talk to Stroud a

432
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 5: lot to help him, and so he'll just be very

433
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 5: comfortable with Robert Woods. And Jordan Schultz is tiight end.

434
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 5: You know, he may end up being the leading receiver.

435
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 5: That was another terrific signing. You know, it's it's it's uh.

436
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 5: I don't want to get over enthusiastic about how many

437
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 5: games it takes is gonna win. And anybody claims the

438
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 5: schedule is hard, you're just not telling the truth. You know,

439
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 5: it's so much easier should be than last year when

440
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 5: they played the NFC East and AFC West, and now

441
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 5: there is third easiest based on last year's records. You know,

442
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 5: they could pool around and win seven or eight games,

443
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 5: even though I'm not gonna pick them. I'm gonna pick

444
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 5: him to win six skin since I did that last year.

445
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 5: But uh, and I think that that the receivers, there's

446
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 5: a lot of competition, and it's.

447
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 2: Going to be tough.

448
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 5: Barring injury, it's going to be tough on game day

449
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 5: to pick the guys who are going to be active.

450
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 5: And I think MATCHI what he's doing is nothing short

451
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 5: of miraculous. Because he had to recover from a torn

452
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 5: acl while he was undergoing treatment for leukemia. It would

453
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 5: be unfair to expect a lot from him right off

454
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 5: the bat, but you want to see him make progresses

455
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 5: the season goes, and probably second half of the season

456
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 5: will start to see why he was the second round pick.

457
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 5: And then next year. Next year should be John Mitche's

458
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 5: of the year that he kind of explodes.

459
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 4: All right.

460
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 3: Two more for you. One is will you watch the

461
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: NBA Finals General? And what do you got for us?

462
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 3: On Sports Radio six ten dot com.

463
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 5: I am. I've gotten real caught up in the playoffs.

464
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 5: It started with the Lakers, the fact that Lebron thought

465
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 5: the playing game was ridiculous and then they used it

466
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 5: to advance and watching look Jokic, he's been unbelievable.

467
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 2: Second round pick.

468
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 5: People complaining all the Rockets didn't get one of the

469
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 5: first three picks. Best player in the NBA was the

470
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 5: second round pick. He started slow in his career, changed

471
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 5: his body, got serious. Now he's the best player. I

472
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 5: love watching him play. And what the Heat has done

473
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 5: has been miraculous. Without Tyler Hero their third leading scorer

474
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 5: and playing four undrafted players, Denver's unbeating and home in

475
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 5: the playoffs. I'm picking dig mancos the Nuggets tonight and

476
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 5: to win the series. And I've got to call him

Speaker 4: All Right, we lost John McClain.

479
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 5: I'm not gone, and I've got and I've got, I'm back.

Speaker 4: That's gonna be cool.

486
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: Plus two things in OTAs you cannot tell period. You

487
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 3: cannot tell this by watching OTAs. As much as I

488
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 3: love seeing eleven on eleven, those guys out there, these

489
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 3: two things are not gonna come through. And other questions

490
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 3: that have been thrown my way this week final segment tonight.

491
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: We usually do Who's better on Thursday. Johnny's out with

492
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: us tonight, so I'm gonna do the final segment tonight,

493
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 3: Who's better sports Announcers? Sports announcers version out it? So

494
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 3: that's all coming up here on Texans Radio.

495
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 4: Texans All Access continues in a moment, Tixans Radio is.

496
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 3: Back, all right, Johnny out tonight. I'm in though, and

497
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 3: a couple of things happening here. I tweeted out a

498
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: picture that I saw at the bel Air Island Grill.

499
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 3: It's hung up on the wall and it's a group

500
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 3: of Texans from circa two thousand and nine or twenty ten.

501
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 3: I've narrowed it down to these two years because dan

502
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 3: Orlofsky's in the picture and he was on the team

503
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: for those two years, so it's one of those years

504
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 3: because the other guys were around for a bit and

505
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 3: people were asking, well, I was asking, can you name

506
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 3: them all? And obviously Matt Schaub is on here, and

507
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 3: Orlotsky's very recognizable, especially on ESPN. Now, Chris Myers is there,

508
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 3: David Anderson is the one, and a lot of people

509
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: didn't recognize. Receiver Eric Winston is in the pick. It's

510
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: on my Twitter account at Texans Voice. Tweeted it out

511
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: earlier today and Kevin Walter, who so many people refer

512
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: to as Kevin Walters. But it's Kevin Walter, And I

513
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: get it because it gets confusing because he had Owen

514
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: Daniels on the team and the Texans were scrimmaging a lot,

515
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 3: scrimmaging preseason practicing and playing preseason games a lot with

516
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 3: the New Orleans Saints, and they had chased Daniel. So

517
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: you have Owen Daniels and Chase Daniel and Kevin Walter.

518
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 3: And there's probably a Walters somewhere in the NFL that

519
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 3: I'm not thinking of right now. So I get it.

520
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 3: I get the confusion, But it's Kevin Walter. Ladies and gentlemen.

521
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 3: Caught the most significant touchdown pass in the history of

522
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 3: the franchise twenty eleven at Cincinnati and Deceber to send

523
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: the Texans to the playoffs for the first time ever.

524
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 3: It wasn't like it was an acrobatic, amazing DeAndre Hopkins

525
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 3: or Andre Johnson type reception, but it was awesome because

526
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 3: it scored the go ahead TD to enable the Texans

527
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 3: to get in.

528
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 4: Andre wasn't able to play in that game. He was hurt.

529
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 3: TJ Yates threw for three hundred yards. We don't have

530
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 3: to talk about that right now, do we no? But

531
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 3: it was awesome and congratulations Kevin in that picture is

532
00:27:59,000 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 3: on my Twitter account.

533
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 4: So many of you were wondering.

534
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 3: In fact, I said seasoned Texans fans will get this right,

535
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 3: and then Steph Stradley said seasoned.

536
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 4: Lol.

537
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: That's another nice way of saying you've been around for

538
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 3: a few years if you're seasoned. I used to say

539
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 3: long in the tooth all the time on the radio

540
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 3: when I was doing the shows all the time at

541
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 3: Sports Radio six ten in the morning. But I was

542
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 3: saying it so often that I needed another way to

543
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: say old seasoned. That's pretty good, right anyway, a seasoned coach,

544
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: he's not quite seasoned yet, but he's been around.

545
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 4: Gerrod Johnson who played in Aggie.

546
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: Lad as we all know, he was on the same

547
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 3: team with Ryan Tannehill.

548
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 4: So that was a while ago.

549
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: Because Ryan Tannehill's rookie year in the league was twenty twelve.

550
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 3: Started his career right here at NRG Stadium as a

551
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphin. But Gerard was with a few NFL teams

552
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: and then began his coaching career coached CJ.

553
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 4: Stroud in an elite camp.

554
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: And I mentioned that video before that Johnny found on

555
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: YouTube where Girod's talking about c J.

556
00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 4: Stroud at that point.

557
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 3: Well, the assistant coaches were made available yesterday and deepco

558
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 3: who had a chance to visit with quarterbacks coach and

559
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: Aggie Jerrod Johnson, Well.

560
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 6: Welcome back to Houston. How have ots gone for your group?

561
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: So they've been good, and you know, it's an opportunity

562
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: for those guys just to get comfortable, to get reps,

563
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: to kind of just kind of talk about things in

564
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: meetings and talk about and watching tape and the cutups

565
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: and those things. For those guys to get out in

566
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: the field field Phil was feels good, Phil West feels different,

567
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: understand the rhythm and timing and at the end of

568
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: the day, that's that's what OTAs are for. It's for

569
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: those guys build a base level, feel comfortable enough to

570
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: come back and training camp and compete, you know, and

571
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: so then they've done a good job. And I think

572
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: they've all taken the approach to try to be better

573
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: every day with every single rep, and that's all we

574
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: can ask for.

575
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 6: Last week you were in Minneapolis or recently we were

576
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 6: in Minneapolis for the Coaches Accelerator Program. What was that

577
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 6: whole experience like?

578
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 5: It was?

579
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: It was really cool, you know, it was a unique

580
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: experience and thankful the NFL wanted to be chosen with

581
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: two that they did that. I learned a lot from

582
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: other coaches, a lot of older coaches who you know,

583
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: have been in the NFL for a long time, and

584
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: so we had a lot of good conversations there, unity

585
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: to meet some of the owners, which is a unique

586
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: experience in itself, you know. But overall, I think it

587
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: was great for my personal career and I learned a

588
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: lot of pro growth things as far as from running

589
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: my meetings and those different things, how to carry myself,

590
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: just a lot that I think I can apply right

591
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: now with the Texans, and that all you know, at

592
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: this point, that's all I can do is try to

593
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: be the best version of myself to pour into the

594
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 1: players here with the Texas.

595
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 6: How does that visibility really help with you know, NFL coaches, execs, owners,

596
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 6: just management that you don't normally see.

597
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: Day to day. I mean, I think it'll help for sure,

598
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, And I don't really know the depths of

599
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: how it will help, you know, I know it has

600
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: to be a positive. But at the end of the day,

601
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: what came up a lot. At the end of the day,

602
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: you do good work where you are, you pour into

603
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: the players where you are, you hope your current team,

604
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 1: and you know people will notice, you know. And so

605
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: I took from that to take what I got from there,

606
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: met some faces whatever, to try to pour into the

607
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: Texans and then you know, we do good things here.

608
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: You know, the way the profession works, good things going.

609
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: To happen for you.

610
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 6: At what point did you decide that you want to

611
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 6: pursue coaching after your playing screer?

612
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: So I knew going up, you know, my hero was

613
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: my dad was a high it was a high school

614
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: coach for me and umboring. So I always knew when

615
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,239
Speaker 1: I was dumb playing that I wanted to coach. Then

616
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: once I you know, once playing went the way it

617
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: did for me. You know, I don't think any player,

618
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it ends on their time, you know.

619
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: And so I took a couple of years to figure

620
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: out how I wanted to coach and how I wanted

621
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: to get back. And so I started from coaching youth

622
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: and giving quarterback lessons to coaching at Houston Saint Thomas,

623
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: and then I got an opportunity with the Colts do

624
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: an internship there, which got me to the NFL, and

625
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: I kind of fell in love with the profession, you know,

626
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: And so I'm thankful for the Colts. And then got

627
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: another opportunity with the Vikings, and so here I am.

628
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: So I did, but I am thankful that I kind

629
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: of went through that route because I learned a lot

630
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: from coaching high school. I learned a lot from coaching

631
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: young kids, you know. So I'm thankful for the path

632
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: that got me here. But I always don't want to coach,

633
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: but just you know, it took me a couple of

634
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: years to figure out exactly how and what level. But

635
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for that time. It maybe who I am.

636
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, speaking of high school players, you

637
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 6: have to coach the eleven and here you are coaching again.

638
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 6: You know, when you look at him then and him now,

639
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 6: what sort of growth have you seen?

640
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: Just tons? You know, it's a testament to him, the

641
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: testament Ohio State, a testament to his family. You know,

642
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: me him at seventeen, he was he was super coachable

643
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: and just wanted to learn, And I think he's still

644
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: that same kid at heart, but then to see a grown, adult,

645
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: professional version of that, it has been exciting to see,

646
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, And so I knew the kind of kid

647
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: we were getting, but then once we've been in the

648
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: building with him, spending days with him as a professional,

649
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: as a grown man who's been through some things, it's

650
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 1: been just as exciting to see the growth in that.

651
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: And so I'm excited to coach him. And you know,

652
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: the guy's in Lemon for him.

653
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: So we're excited to have you.

654
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 6: Thank you so much for the time coming.

655
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate it.

656
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 4: All right.

657
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: D B.

658
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: Sitty with Gerard Johnson and great to hear that interview Girard. Look,

659
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 3: we had him on the show and John Lopez and

660
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 3: I did the morning show. We used to have Girard

661
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 3: on the show sometimes, and I know he's had him

662
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 3: on over the years from time to time. And can

663
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 3: I say this, he's got head coach.

664
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 4: Written all over him. I mean, not tomorrow, all right.

665
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to pay his dues and he's a

666
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: quarterbacks coach now work his way up and go through

667
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 3: the process. But my goodness, is he impressive and the

668
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 3: best thing for him. I always say this, the best

669
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 3: thing for everybody's career is that the team wins. All

670
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 3: boats rise with that tide. Baby, this team starts to

671
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 3: win games, everybody's gonna look a whole lot better, all

672
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 3: the coaches, players, et cetera, everybody. All right, I mentioned

673
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 3: this things you cannot tell in OTAs. One would be

674
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: pass rush. It's really difficult to say, right because they're

675
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 3: not in pads.

676
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 4: It can't get too physical.

677
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 3: We talked to Chris strass or the offensive line coach,

678
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 3: last night about you want the guys to be physical,

679
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: but you know they can't get too physical.

680
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 4: They're not in paths. But you want to see some

681
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 4: things they got to do.

682
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: What they got to do, right, it's OTA's it's not

683
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 3: going to be the full boat. So it's really difficult

684
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 3: to tell pass rush. So people ask about how's Will

685
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 3: Anderson doing?

686
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: Well?

687
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 3: It looks great in the uniform, and I'm sure you know,

688
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 3: the coaches can tell you more about how he's picking

689
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 3: up the system and what a great guy is and

690
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 3: it looks like things are coming around. But we won't

691
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 3: know everything we need to know until we see him

692
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: and pads. And that goes with the o line and

693
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: the running game too. You cannot tell how well they're

694
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 3: running the football. Now you can tell who's got the juice,

695
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 3: who's got what backs can catch the ball well, who

696
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: might look good once they get into pads catching the

697
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: ball and avoiding tackles and that kind of thing. One

698
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 3: thing you can tell receivers versus dbs have some nice battles, right.

699
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 3: They don't need to be fully padded to have some

700
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 3: good battles. Now, if you're a receiver, you know you're

701
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 3: not gonna get hit. But isn't that kind of like

702
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 3: the whole league right now? I mean in the seventies

703
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 3: you talk to people who people receivers who had to

704
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 3: go across the middle going across the middle in the seventies.

705
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 4: Heck even in the nineties, right does it?

706
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 3: Rod Tidwell and Jerry maguire say, Jerry, I go across

707
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: the middle. Going across the middle is a big deal

708
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 3: because you can get blasted by these dbs. Now you

709
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 3: can still get hit, obviously, but it's not the same.

710
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 3: It's not Jack Tatum. It's not the same as it

711
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 3: was in previous years. The way the rules are written

712
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 3: now to protect the receiver's defenseless receiver. Right, we see

713
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 3: that a lot. You don't want to pick up a penalty.

714
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 3: You don't want to go helmet to. I know what

715
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 3: happens on occasion, but you don't want to do that.

716
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 3: So you could still see some good battles out there

717
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 3: though in OTAs.

718
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 4: And here's the question I get more than any other.

719
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 4: How's Stroud looking? How the quarterback's looking look CJ. Stroud?

720
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 3: Like I said earlier when we were talking with the general,

721
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 3: so far, so good, so far, so good. He throws

722
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 3: some lasers out there. I think Mills is looking pretty

723
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 3: good too, you know. And Keenum looks like Keenum. Keenum

724
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 3: makes throws.

725
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 4: Are you kidding?

726
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 3: Keenum makes the most of every rep he gets. He's

727
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 3: not going to squander a chance to look good in

728
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: whatever reps he can get. And as I mentioned earlier,

729
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 3: everything is monumentally important as far as these quarterbacks go.

730
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: You don't know where this is going to take you

731
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 3: are you? Are you new here?

732
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 4: Right?

733
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 3: You don't go through a season with uninjured quarterbacks very

734
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 3: often in this league. I could phrase that a whole

735
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 3: lot better. Very often quarterbacks get hurt in this league.

736
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 3: Look at the forty nine ers last year. Look at

737
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 3: the Texans in twenty seventeen, look at the Texans in

738
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, look at the Texans in twenty fifteen, look

739
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 3: at the Texans in twenty fourteen.

740
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 4: Stop me. It happens a lot.

741
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 3: So you need everybody to play well here, assuming you

742
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 3: don't pick up anybody else.

743
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 4: Along the way. You absolutely need health.

744
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 3: But the way I could say it best is, you know,

745
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 3: Stroud has some moments where you just go, oh, look

746
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 3: at that, and it's very encouraging about what you feel

747
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 3: you're going to see in the future. But what else

748
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 3: do I always say, Everybody's got to get better. I'm

749
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 3: not talking about him specifically here, I'm talking about the

750
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 3: entire team, every player. They'll tell you this, especially rookies

751
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 3: coming in whoever you were in college. All right, great,

752
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 3: now you're in the NFL, completely different situation.

753
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 4: You've got to improve every day.

754
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 3: You've got to take great leaps year one to year two,

755
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 3: day one to day two. If you're a rookie, just

756
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 3: take it. I know it's all cliche, but that's how

757
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 3: they have to do it. That's how we all do

758
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 3: it in life. Right when you get a new job

759
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 3: and you're right out of college. This is a heck

760
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 3: of a job for them to get to make the

761
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 3: most of whatever reps they get. All right, coming up,

762
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 3: I promised this, so we will get to it. Who's Better?

763

Speaker 3: We do it every Thursday night usually. Anyway, I'm gonna

00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 3: You know, I could get really esoteric. It's not that

777
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 3: esoteric to say Ernie Harwell is a great baseball announcer,

778
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 3: but a lot of you are saying, who's that used

779
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 3: to do the Tigers for WJR. In Detroit. That's a

780
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 3: blow towards signal, But again that's a seasoned comment. Going

781
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 3: back to a word that I talked about in the

782
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 3: last segment, Let's get to this. Let's start with the NFL.

783
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 3: Let's start with the good stuff here, lead with the steak.

784
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: Best NFL announcer on TV. Ever, I'm gonna tell you

785
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 3: my favorite and who's going to go down in history

786
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 3: is the best until further notice. Al Michaels will go

787
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 3: down in history as the best TV announcer for the

788
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 3: NFL until further notice.

789
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 4: Right.

790
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 3: My favorite, though, is Pat summer All. Pat summer All,

791
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: who worked with John Madden all those years CBS and

792
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 3: then for Fox. Just something about the smoothness of the delivery,

793
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 3: the economy of words, something I know nothing about because

794
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 3: I talk too much now. He would just lay out,

795
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 3: I don't do TV so radio. You have to paint

796
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 3: the picture, you have to keep talking, describing.

797
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 4: It, etc.

798
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 3: For summer All, he could just say a guy's name

799
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 3: and it just sounded like poetry. You know, Raphael Septian.

800
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 3: Why did I pick that name? I don't know cowboy

801
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 3: kicker from back in the day, but I love Pat

802
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 3: summerw He's my fav Al Michaels is going to go

803
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 3: down in history is the best.

804
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 4: And obviously I think Al Michaels is good.

805
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 3: And of the new guys, Al Joe Buck, I love

806
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 3: Mike Tarico. I've talked about that before. All Right, NFL

807
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 3: color commentary greatest of all time? Lay up, John Matt

808
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 3: You all know that. Who's the best today? Who's the

809
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 3: best color commentator today? Is it Collinsworth? Is it Aikman?

810
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 3: When Romo started, people had an affair in an audio

811
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 3: way with what he was saying. Right, people love Romo.

812
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, this guy's so much better than anybody else.

813
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,479
Speaker 3: Right now, so many people said that, And now people

814
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 3: are souring on Romo because they feel like, you know what,

815
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 3: he doesn't prepare maybe as well as he did in

816
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 3: the past, or as he distances himself more just years

817
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 3: removed from the game, he doesn't really know the teams

818
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 3: as well as he did when he was just recently

819
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 3: plugged into everything. And you just have to approach it

820
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 3: from a different standpoint, right, I mean, Collin's Worth played

821
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 3: in the early eighties.

822
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 4: You don't have the.

823
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 3: Same perspective, and you have to continue to work hard

824
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: to dive deep into it, not saying Tony's not doing it,

825
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 3: but a lot of people interpret it that way. I

826
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 3: like collins Worth the best, I really do. I think

827
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 3: Gateman does a terrific job as well. I know they

828
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 3: all make mistakes. Guess what they all do it. They

829
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: all make errors. They'll all say something that sounds obvious.

830
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 3: You try being on the air for three hours calling

831
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: a game. I'm not doing a woe as me thing here,

832
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 3: but things will come out of your mouth.

833
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 4: Will You'll say afterwards, why did I say that? Why

834
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 4: did I?

835
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 3: I talked to people about this all the time doing

836
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 3: a four hour sports talk show. All the six to

837
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 3: ten hosts can relate to this. There are times when

838
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: you're wondering, why did I just say that? Or you

839
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 3: listen to a recording of yourself later and you're thinking,

840
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,919
Speaker 3: I don't even know why I mentioned that. You're sort

841
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 3: of having this out of body experience as you're continuing

842
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 3: to talk for four hours a day, five days a week,

843
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 3: every day of your life, every week of your life.

844
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 4: It just, uh, you know, things happen, things happen in.

845
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 3: A verbal way that it's just it's difficult to describe

846
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 3: unless you go through it. I know guys who think,

847
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 3: oh I could be on the air doing a four

848
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 3: hour talk show.

849
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 4: I could do that. I'm sure you have plenty of

850
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 4: good takes, right try it. This is what I always

851
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 4: tell people.

852
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 3: In your car, go three minutes, just three minutes on

853
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 3: a watch or clock on your car clock. Just don't

854
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 3: turn off the radio now. But try this later and

855
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 3: go three minutes on a take. You know, give you

856
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 3: a time to talk about the astros, talk about the textans,

857
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 3: talk about whatever you want to talk about out loud.

858
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: It's got to be out loud. Three minutes your live,

859
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 3: no stopping. You just have to go. After those three minutes,

860
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 3: get back to me with your thoughts. You'll say, ooh,

861
00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 3: that's a little tougher than I thought. Okay, color commentation.

862
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 3: I like collins Worth the best. Now that might not

863
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 3: be a popular thing, but of current color commentators, it's

864
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 3: collins Worth Madden all time. I love them, just absolutely

865
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 3: love him. I'm wondering how Brady's going to be. We'll

866
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 3: find out together in twenty twenty four. Allegedly NBA my

867
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 3: all time favorite, and I will stand on a table

868
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 3: saying he's the best TV NBA play by play announcer ever,

869
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 3: and that's Dick Stockton, who did it in the eighties

870
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 3: so well for CBS with Tommy Heinzen and with Hubie Brown.

871
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: Hub Brown, to me is also the best color commentator

872
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 3: in basketball ever. I know as he got more seasoned,

873
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 3: it was getting a little verbose at times, but I

874
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 3: still love the sound of his voice, and I do

875
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 3: love the commentary and the freezing of things. I think

876
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 3: that's an important element of being a sports TV announcer.

877
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 3: It's the audio of it. The soundtrack of the game

878
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 3: is very important. But Stockton was elite. And I know

879
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 3: Rockets fans you harken back to the nineties, but hey,

880
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 3: he did a couple of finals with the Rockets when

881
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 3: they lost to the Celtics in the eighties, But in

882
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 3: the nineties when they won, it was an NBC sport.

883
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 3: You're dealing with Marv Albert, You're dealing with Bob Costas

884
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,919
Speaker 3: doing the studio stuff. It's a different deal. I get

885
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 3: it MLB quickly here. Of obviously, Vince Gully's the all

886
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 3: time greatest, I kind of. I know it's not it's

887
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 3: not intensely popular, maybe even in you know, maybe even

888
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 3: especially in this city. But I kind of like Joe Buck.

889
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 3: I think Joe Buck is really solid. His father, Jack

890
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 3: is my favorite all time play by play guy Jack Buck,

891
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 3: Joe's father Monday Night Football on the radio. He did

892
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 3: National Baseball on CBS, obviously the voice of the Saint

893
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 3: Louis Cardinals for KMOX, and had the greatest call Chris

894
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 3: Lower the NFL Music, the greatest hometown call in the

895
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: history of sports. In my opinion, again, I'm not going

896
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 3: to get a ton of agreement on this. Maybe some

897
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 3: I'm not a car fan, but to me, it's Game five,

898
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:09,479
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty five NLCS and this happens. Got a runner

899
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 3: at third and nobody out in the first and didn't score,

900
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 3: second and third, one out in the second and didn't score.

901
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 4: Smith Clark's wanting to right down the line.

902
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 3: It may go go crazy, Folks go crazy.

903
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 4: It's a home run, and the Cardinals have won the game.

904
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 4: By the store. I treet To too, had a home

905
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 4: on Play the Wizard.

906
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 3: Go crazy, Folks go crazy. It's beautiful. I don't Again,

907
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 3: I'm not a Cardinal fan. I love that though, and

908
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 3: I love Jack Buck doing Monday Night Football. Used to

909
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 3: listen to him and take notes because he was a

910
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 3: great football announcer as well.

911
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 4: All Right, that's it for the sports announcers. Who's better?

912
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 3: It was really a Who's best kind of thing, And

913
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 3: I'd love to get your feedback at Texan's Voice on Twitter.

914
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 3: Tomorrow night, gonna have Dpcity on the show. We're gonna
