1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody. It's a Wednesday edition, or as what

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: we'd like to say, Draft Eve edition of Texans All

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: Access from the Hunday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host,

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: John Harris, and I am alongside the Voice of the Texans,

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: Mark Van Beer. Mark. Happy Draft Eve. How are you?

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: It's Draft Eve? I'm you know what, I'm fired up

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: because I don't allow myself to get too excited about

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: the draft, unlike you, until it's here. And it's finally here.

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: It's tomorrow. So that's very cool because it's kind of

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: like I've learned to sort of keep everything tap the brakes,

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: the preseason excitement, all of that. The Draft is certainly

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: part of that. But this is the offseason super Bowl.

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: It's the biggest offseason event. Everybody's fired up. In twenty

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: four hours hours, we'll get it rolling and we're gonna

15
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: be on the air all weekend long. So it's gonna

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: be great. It is gonna be great. We'll talk about

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: who is going to be on the air. Just know

18
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: that you and I are on the air most of

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: the time. I'm on the air all the time. Other

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: voices you will hear Sean Penner, Gas Wade Smith, Paul

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: Gallant and tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to this. We

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: did the show last year down in studio. We will

23
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: do it again at the Draft party tomorrow night. Our

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: radio crew, you, Andre Ware and myself looking forward to that.

25
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Drey first round and for the first time

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: in front of people. I mean he's been in front

27
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: of people before, of course, but not for the draft broadcast.

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: And that'll be at the one hundred level. If you're

29
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: coming to the Draft party, join us. It's in front

30
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: of the Ford Ramp they call it, and they've sectioned

31
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: off the doors. It's gonna be really great. It's gonna

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: be a great atmosphere. I've seen the stage. I know

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: you haven't seen it yet. I'm not gonna look at it.

34
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: It's a new configuration for us. And speaking of configurations,

35
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, I wrote that article on Houston Texas dot

36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: Com and all the draft parties, and we've been in

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: different spaces and places, and I went over some of

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: the locations where we were at when particular picks were made,

39
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: because it's all part of the memory for me. I

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: tend to remember things based on you know, I associate

41
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: them with where I was when I saw you had

42
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: written that and I read it. First of all, it

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: was disappointed to me at any point, but I understand

44
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: along those lines, I had to mention everybody I've ever

45
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: done the show with, well, no, I start thinking about

46
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: you're the best. Well, I appreciate that. I start thinking

47
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: about draft day memories, yes, and thinking of especially the

48
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Draft show, but even beyond that, I start thinking about

49
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: what we what we remember from drafts, what you know,

50
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: crazy things have happened, if you know, if at all,

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: I think my one of my favorite stories actually happened

52
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. And we will actually have Deshaw Watson

53
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: on the show tonight. I started a tradition last year

54
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: where I did a radio interview because you did a

55
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: TV interview. So I did the radio interview with the

56
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: Shawan the day after he was drafted, and I've kept

57
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: that in my in my John Harris folder on his computer.

58
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: And I decided every Wednesday, because it'll be the Wednesday

59
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: before the Thursday of the draft, I would play Sean interview.

60
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: But we got a little gift. The Sean stopped by

61
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: a few days ago, so we'll play that for you instead.

62
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be good. I can't wait to hear

63
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: what he has to say. In fact, I did hear it,

64
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: but I will hear it again and it's gonna be

65
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: awesome tonight. That story is great. There are numerous other

66
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: stories I'll tell you which sort of jumped out to

67
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: me because other people have said, really is the very

68
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: first draft party, remembering that, which took place in the Astrodome.

69
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: How weird was that? It was weird? Now? I was

70
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: new to Houston. I was only here for less than

71
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: a month, living here for less than a month when

72
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: the first draft party took place in two thousand and two,

73
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: and there was so much excitement with the birth of

74
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: the franchise and getting the first college crop of players

75
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: because the expansion Draft had already taken place. That was

76
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: February eighteenth, two thousand and two. So here we were

77
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: for the first kyleege Draft, and he knew David Carr

78
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: was gonna get picked. It was obvious. Was he already signed.

79
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: It was already signed. He was already signed. Now there

80
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: was some I guess, you know, I think all fall

81
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: there was a lot of talk that he was probably

82
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy Fresno State was hot that you

83
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: remember he beat Wisconsin on the road in Oregon State.

84
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: I think Colorado Wiscotts, and Colorade in organ State. Those

85
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: are the three big time teams or big conference teams

86
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: that he beat on the road as a Fresno State quarterback.

87
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: I think he had forty two touchdown passes. I mean,

88
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: he had a heck of a senior year. There was

89
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: a reason why David Carr was the number one overall

90
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: pick in the draft and they wanted the franchise quarterback

91
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: and everyone knew he was gonna get picked, but there

92
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: was still a ton of excitement. It was the first

93
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: draft party and it was you know, the team was

94
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: getting its first crop of college players. Chester Pitts was taken,

95
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: Jabbar Gaffney was taken, Fred Weary was taking a lot

96
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: of guys who we know still from being great Houstonians

97
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: were taken in that draft and that offseason. So that

98
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: was very cool. And it was the Astrodome. The stadium

99
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: wasn't done yet, so they couldn't do it at the

100
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: stadium wasn't completed yet. Just being in the Astrodome was

101
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: a weird setting for me because I'd never done any

102
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: kind of broadcast from the Astrodome, So that was the

103
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: very first one, and I write about all of them

104
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: on Houston Texans dot com. Where were you were down

105
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: on the fuel, We were down at the field level.

106
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: We had a set up there for Sports Radio six ten,

107
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: and remember the early days, it was a lot of

108
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: the guys from Sports Radio six ten. We had a

109
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: lot of different lineups and you know some of the

110
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: names that you know well that are still in radio

111
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: around Houston, and we put it together. I didn't drive

112
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: the show the first two three four years, and I

113
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: really objected to not driving the show. But it was

114
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: funny because I was the play by play guy for

115
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: the Texans and I was doing a two hour show

116
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: from nine to eleven on Sports Radio six ten, five

117
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: days a week. But I wasn't you know, I was

118
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: one of the hosts. But that's it. I was just

119
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: one of the hosts, and the other hosts had more

120
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: seniority and longevity in the market obviously than I did.

121
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: I was just a play by play guys. So they

122
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: weren't gonna I'm not gonna say, let me drive the show,

123
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: but it just didn't seem like the right thing to do.

124
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: They were just having me on a sort of a

125
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: guy to comment on things because I was the play

126
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: by play announcer for the team. So it grew into

127
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: me having a hostile takeover eventually of the driving seat

128
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: for the draft show, and that worked out well well.

129
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: One of my funny stories extually is two years later,

130
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: I think you were driving the show by then, because

131
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: that was my first time ever on the draft show.

132
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: I don't remember this when when Travis was taken. Travis

133
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: Johnson was taken, and I remember at the time the

134
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: Texans I want to say, we're running a three four

135
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, and I just remember saying Travis

136
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: was the perfect three technique, like I just didn't see

137
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: the fit. Like I thought he was a perfect three technique.

138
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: I thought a fourth three team would have snapped him up.

139
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: And I remember our friend Lance was like, all right,

140
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna come on a draft show. And

141
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: I had talked to whoever was producing, like you can

142
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: come on a draft show and you can talk about

143
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: the draft pick and we'll call you the beginning and

144
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: then we'll call you um after the pick and all

145
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And so for years I I

146
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: thought you hated me because well, I come on and

147
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Travis Johnson and you literally just cut

148
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: me off and like move on. And I'm like, oh, okay,

149
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: did you say something bad about him? No? No, that's

150
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: probably why. No, you were. You were getting Travis on

151
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: the air after me, and so I had to get off,

152
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: and because you were getting Travis. Well, I didn't know.

153
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: Later the longest time, I was like, man, vandom your

154
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: hates speaking Sez. I don't think I said anything bad.

155
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: I think the only thing I said was I just

156
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: wasn't sure how he was gonna fit because of the

157
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: defense they ran. But as far as the draft pick,

158
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: I thought I thought Travis was gonna be what you know,

159
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: he played four years here then two years in San Diego.

160
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: What did he play in San Diego? Was it the

161
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: same kind of defense or I'm trying to remember what

162
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: they had at that point, and I can't remember that

163
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: was I don't I don't remember. The funny thing is

164
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: you know that that I wrote about that draft party

165
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: reaction that was and you know, trap, we love Travis

166
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: and everything. He's gonna be at the draft party, but

167
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: the crowd and you know, you can't beat local flavor here.

168
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: Of course, Derek Johnson was on the board, and they

169
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: traded down three spots and they missed out on Derek Johnson,

170
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: and so the crowd went nuts. And no one knew

171
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: how good Derek Johnson was gonna be as just the

172
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: fact that he was a Longhorn and everyone had familiarity

173
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: with them, and they didn't have a lot of familiarity

174
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: with Travis Johnson. So that was the reaction at that

175
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: particular draft party in two thousand and six. I'll never

176
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: forget where I was when I heard the news. I

177
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: actually was driving by Elon University. I don't know why

178
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: I was driving by Elon, but that's when I heard

179
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: the news, and I literally almost drove by the Mario

180
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: Williams Mario Williams news. Now, obviously people had the night

181
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: and then on into the morning because that was the

182
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: one of the last Saturday. Well it wasn't one of

183
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: the last ones. They did a few years more of that,

184
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: but on that was Saturday. At eleven, they're kicking off

185
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: the draft and Textans are drafting first the drafted Mario.

186
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: I can imagine that one was a little dicey. I

187
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: was out at dinner on Friday night and I got

188
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: a text. There was no social media notification or whatever.

189
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: Tis a whole lot at that point, I mean it was.

190
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: I remember one of the officials at the radio station

191
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: at the time said, you don't need texting on your

192
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: phone because the cost extra for the company phones. I said, no,

193
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: texting is a real thing. It's here to stay. No,

194
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: I just use email. I'm like, no, No, you don't

195
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: understand emails not the same thing. I don't have a BlackBerry.

196
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: It's texting, but it's funny, you know. It's just a

197
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: technology note. A little side note here. I still have

198
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: some contacts in my phone who are first name only,

199
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: like Mike, my friend from Boston is just Mike, right,

200
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: because I like, how how many contacts am I gonna

201
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: have in my phone? These are the guys I call

202
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: all the time. So Mike is Mike, you know, and

203
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: that's it. And so if you are a one name

204
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: contact in my phone, I've known you for a long time.

205
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: I've got Don from Miami. You know. It's funny stand

206
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: from central Michigan. Anyway, So I get the notifica not

207
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: notification attacks that Mario Williams is the guy, and they're

208
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: gonna sign him, and it was so I turned on

209
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: the radio right away. I wasn't on the air, and

210
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: the reaction is unbelievable. People are freaking out. Who's Mario Williams.

211
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: It was bad enough according to so many that the

212
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: Texans weren't gonna take Vince Young, but they're not gonna

213
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: take Reggie Bush either. What No one thought this was

214
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: a possibility, and Mario was the guy. So the draft

215
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: party the next day there was a trernial downpour. I

216
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: mean it was one of those real, wow, you know

217
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: Houstonian rain storms where you know you're gonna get if

218
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: if you just get out of the car for a second,

219
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: you're to get soaked. It was one of those. The

220
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: draft party was packed, it was anyway, no one cared

221
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: about the rain. They all wanted to go boo the pick. Okay,

222
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: that's what that was it. They wanted to be with

223
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: fellow Texans, and you know, that's the passion of the NFL.

224
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it. You know, you live and die

225
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: with your team, and in this case, you wanted to,

226
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, feel whatever you're gonna feel that day at

227
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: the draft party, and they did, and they let it out.

228
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: You know, they knew what the pick was going to be.

229
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: They let it out big at that party. This was

230
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: a great exercise in patience though, because it was the

231
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: right decision and the day this was when it was Saturday,

232
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: not Thursday. Friday said it was Saturday and Sunday the draft,

233
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: but the first three rounds were on Saturday. And the

234
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: day got a good review overall because by the end

235
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: of the day they picked up Demiko Ryans and Eric

236
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: Winston and Charles Spencer, who they called a ten year

237
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: starter possibly but he got hurt. Still, you had three

238
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: really good picks with Winston, Demiko and Mario and Mario

239
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: Demiko a couple of Pro bowlers, and Winston's super solid

240
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: right tackle. So that was a really good day and

241
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: I think people at the end of the day were like,

242
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: all right, you didn't get Reggie Bush, but you got

243
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: these other things. Demiko was a pretty popular name going

244
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: into that draft. A lot of people had him at

245
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: a first round kind of guy. To get him at

246
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: the top of the second round was a nice pickup.

247
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: I remember I live blogged that whole draft, every every

248
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: single pick. I love blogged the whole thing, and I

249
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: remember in my scouting report of Mario Williams, I remember writing,

250
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: he will be the best defensive player in this draft.

251
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: He should go very high, like I was convinced watching him. Now.

252
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: I lived in North Carolina, so I had seen Mario

253
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: up close. The one thing that I always worried about

254
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: Mario was is he gonna disappear for games? Like? Is

255
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: there gonna be times where he just disappears like he's

256
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: just wait, Mario was playing, Oh yeah, I forgot, But

257
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: then there were games where he just completely took over. Yeah,

258
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: and he kind of did that in the NFL. I

259
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: think he found a little bit more consistency. But you're right,

260
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: he was. He was the right pick. But Mario Demiko

261
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: and then Eric Winston. The unfortunate aspect was that Charles

262
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: Spencer ends up getting getting hurt, because that's now got

263
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: a domino effect in that you two years later, because

264
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: Spencer does get hurt and you can't get him back,

265
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: you go with Dwayne. Obviously, Dwayne turned into a really,

266
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: really good player. But if Spencer is the player we

267
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: all thought he was gonna be, then that first draft pick,

268
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of like where we're talking about with Kevin Johnson.

269
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: And yet quarterback, you know, he doesn't pan out because

270
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: of injuries or whatever. Now you're gonna move on to

271
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: another situation, and you you're playing catchup. And unfortunately for

272
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: a lot of franchises, including this one, they haven't so

273
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: much done it than the draft. But a lot of

274
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: franchises have this at quarterback Cleveland at quarterback where you're

275
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: constantly trying to find that quarterback. Jacksonville where Tennessee also

276
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: they feel like they've got one of the Mariota. But

277
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: think about Tennessee Vince Young. You know, we don't have

278
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: to go into the whole Vince Young story. He did

279
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: some good things there, but it didn't work out ultimately.

280
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Jake Locker, No, and now they're onto Mariota and the

281
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: jury is still out, like you and I have discussed

282
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: many times. So you can be chasing after that one

283
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: for a long time with draft picks. Now the Texans

284
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: have chased after quarterbacks without draft picks. They have the

285
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: shop deal, they have other stuff, you know, Fitzpatrick and

286
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: the Bridge guy or whatever. Can they make it work

287
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: with patchwork situations and now they finally had their guy.

288
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: But it's funny how that is at certain position groups,

289
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: and I know you've pointed that out many times this offseason. Well,

290
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: my first draft party was the first one that I did,

291
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: was in twenty fourteen, and we had I think we

292
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: had known that JD was gonna go with the first pick,

293
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: so we were kind of bracing for that. But I

294
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: just love the fact that I remember you saying, hey,

295
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna get Jeveon Clowney on the air after, you know,

296
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: asking questions like well, this is cool, like the chance

297
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: to right away, and so a lot of people at

298
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: that point had left, but there was still so much

299
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: drama because one of those quarterbacks that was considered by

300
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland was Johnny Manziel. Yeah, and to watch our draft

301
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: party react every time Manzell was shown on the screen,

302
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: I would have I could have sworn that going in

303
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: that every time they'd showed Manziel it would have been

304
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: at cheer. Everybody would have been excited. When they showed

305
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: Manziel the very first time, our crowd booed. I mean

306
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: the entire place just booed. And I was like, whoa.

307
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: Because so when Dallas pop up at sixteen and everybody's like,

308
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna draft Johnny Manzel and this draft party is

309
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: just gonna be enraged, and they take Zack Martin, Nick's

310
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: brother and are the draft. The draft party's went crazy.

311
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if Zach Martin got that

312
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: many cheers in Dallas, but the draft party went crazy

313
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: because then they showed Johnny. He's sitting there and sipping

314
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: on the drink or whatever he was on. But it

315
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: was hilarious to watch to the Cowboys instead of Zach

316
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: Martin and they don't get Dak. Oh my gosh. It

317
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: changes history. It changes a lot of things if they

318
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: go I mean, Zack Martin doesn't turn into Zach Martin

319
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys and where he ends up going at

320
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: that poem, mean, yeah, that offensive line, there's a billy

321
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: you know. That's why the draft is so fascinating. Yeah,

322
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Just the stay lines are great. And

323
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: I've been watching all the stuff on NFL Network. It's

324
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: so good. It's so good. Mark, appreciate it. Thanks Johnny.

325
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: Coming up next, it's that man Deshaun Watson. He sat

326
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: down on the Mark and I earlier this week. While

327
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: that for you right here on Texans Axis last year,

328
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: heading you to the draft. The Wednesday night before the draft,

329
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: I said, I wanted to start a new tradition, and

330
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: that was I wanted to go back and replay an

331
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: interview that I had done with the Shawn Watson the

332
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: day after he was drafted, and I said, you know what,

333
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play this interview every Wednesday before the draft.

334
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: Every Wednesday for the draft, I'll play this interview with

335
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson, except this one, because well, we got a

336
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: more updated interview with the Shawn Watson Mark and I

337
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with him a few

338
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: days ago as he was getting back into the conditioning

339
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: aspect this phase of the off season, and we had

340
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: a good time talking to DeShawn Watson, the team's last

341
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: first round draft pick for twenty seventeen. How is it

342
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: to get over jet lag for you? Are you pretty

343
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: good cover quickly? Yeah? Yeah, I'm solid. You know, I

344
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: actually didn't really get too jet lag that kind of time.

345
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: I sleeping and you know, on the plane and the

346
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: guess the timing, I don't know. I was just following

347
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: whatever the advice I had with the people I was

348
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: with that's been traveling for a while. So I did that,

349
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: came back maybe took maybe a day and a half

350
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: to kind of get used to the timing and sleeping, right,

351
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: But outside of that, I've been good so far. Mark

352
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: and I said we should play a game. Where did

353
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: Shan not go? Was there any place that you didn't

354
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: go that you were like, man, I wish I could

355
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: have gone there. Actually stopped in Dubai, all right, the

356
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: Abbi Dabbi Airport or something like that, which is like

357
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: an hour from Dubai, And I was actually gonna go,

358
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: but the time it wasn't right, so, uh, you know,

359
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: Dubai would have been awesome to go. And then Tokyo.

360
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: I was on that side, but didn't have an opportunity

361
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: to go to Tokyo because of the timing. Those two

362
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: spots they kind of, you know, off the top of

363
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: my head, when you sit back, the season's over, you

364
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: step back, you get away from the playoff game lost

365
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: to Sean, and you just I don't know what you

366
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: did at that point, but I would imagine at some

367
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: point you sat down with all the film that you

368
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: had from the year that you played finally got a

369
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: full year in the NFL. When you step back and

370
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: looked at it, what do you think, because your numbers

371
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: are incredible. I mean you did something that no quarterbacks

372
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: ever done. Four thousand yards, twenty five touchdowns, five hundred yards.

373
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean you know all that one of the things

374
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: that stood out to you that you felt like you did. Well,

375
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: what do you think there are some things that you

376
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: want to work on for twenty nineteen and going forward.

377
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: Really just the leadership high managed university. Um, you know,

378
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: if something bad happened on the previous job, how it

379
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: came back and and kind of stuck through it for

380
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: four quarters, um, and not giving up so U that aspect,

381
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: and then just really just um, you know, controlling the

382
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: offense as much as I can, making plays with my feet,

383
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: with my arm outside of the pocket, and and just

384
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: really just um, you know, just being that leader of

385
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: the team. And then also off the you know that

386
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: that was something that I wanted to fix, is you know,

387
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: just the details operation of the offense, being able to

388
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: recognize different coverages and defenses sooner. Um, that's just kind

389
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: of more film work, more study, more experience, more focused

390
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: and if I can continue to do that on a

391
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: consistent base, specially in the off season and growing that,

392
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: then once the season come around, it comes around and

393
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: and I can just work like cloud work. We know

394
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: you're getting ready for next year. But what play or

395
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: play stood out to you as favorites from last year?

396
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: Things that you saw in the highlights and said, wow,

397
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: how do I do that? We've got one? Yeah, We've

398
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: got We've got one. That's what I was gonna think.

399
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: That's the one that jumps off the They had a

400
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: little three or twists. I threw the guys off and

401
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: the made the play. I think its third. Yeah, that

402
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: was the one that kind of stuck up. But it

403
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: was a lot of great plays, a lot of plays

404
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: that the receivers made too. When when you threw and

405
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: shortly after you know you throw the Vincent Smith for

406
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: the touchdown. When you're throwing a ball like that, I mean,

407
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: you don't really know exactly how it's gonna turn out,

408
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: but you have to have faith in your receiver through

409
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: your mind in those situations. Now, I mean, that's something

410
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: that we talked about. It was spen really a couple

411
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: of drives before where threw an out route I think

412
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: it was the Dee Carter um and the corner jumped in,

413
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: Vincent had a go and it was almost you know, pig.

414
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: I think it was blit zero or something like that,

415
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: and I threw it outside the corner, jumped it, and

416
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: he almost called a pig. He dropped it. So I

417
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, next time we get in the situation

418
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: they're not even watching events run full speed, I'm a

419
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: lunch it and it's gonna be six. Just trust me.

420
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: And so he told him, He's like, I got you.

421
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: So the next opportunity came, we flipped sides, so I

422
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: knew thirty two. He was kind of looking at me

423
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: and I just launched it and put it in the spot.

424
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: So his opportunity came and he's a advantage of it.

425
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: I think my favorite thing about that play I was

426
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: starting to eleven. I remember you remember what Andre said,

427
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: literally right before the ball snap, he said, you don't

428
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: have to get it all in one play. Think of

429
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: the first down, not to touchdown, and then you threw

430
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: the touchdown, and of course we went nuts at that point.

431
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: De Shaw one of the games that stands out so

432
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: much on a number of different levels. But curious to

433
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: get your thoughts, Bob McNair, Mister McNair passed away on Friday.

434
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: You guys gotta play that Monday night game, and there's

435
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: such a great shot of you during the moment of silence.

436
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: It's like, I want that from my office. It is

437
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: a great shot. But that game. How emotional was that

438
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: game for you guys in the locker room knowing that

439
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: mister McNair had passed away a few days before and

440
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: now you gotta play the Titans and you were building

441
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: on Monday night? What was that like? It's very emotional, man.

442
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: You can just feel the energy and you can feel

443
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: just how how sad it was, especially the day he passed.

444
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: I think it was after practice, our meetings, right before

445
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: meetings and something like that, and we kind of knew

446
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: about it, not everyone, but it was just it was tough, um.

447
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: But then again, we knew that he was in a great,

448
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: great place. You know, he left in peace and he

449
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: was happy and all he wanted for this team is

450
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: just to be successful, go out there, have fun and win,

451
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: and you know that's what we wanted to do. So

452
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: you know, in that moment, it was tough because you know,

453
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: when I was in the hospital with my my rib

454
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: and my lung, he was actually a couple of doors

455
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: down down the hallway, so we actually spent some time together.

456
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, I felt like I was there and with

457
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: him whenever he was going through those tough times and

458
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: situations that I can brighten this day. So it was

459
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 1: very emotional for myself and we wanted to go out

460
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: there and win, and that's what we did. All right.

461
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: So now you're back for this nine week program. What's

462
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: it like to be around the guys right now? And

463
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: you must really be looking forward to get out there

464
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: on the field and doing your thing. It's awesome. I

465
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: mean just kind of you know, starting over building that

466
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: chemistry against a new locker room. A lot of guys left,

467
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: a lot of guys came in, so you know, we

468
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: got to start from stretch and kind of rebuilding. That's

469
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: what we've been doing is building that trust, building that loyalty,

470
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: that work ethic and that determination that you know, we

471
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: were going to go out there each and every day

472
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: and conquer the day and win and try to you know,

473
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: before we leave this locker room, before we leave the stadium,

474
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: make sure you check the bosses off. How are you

475
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: halping yourself get one percent better? And how are you

476
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: happing this team get one percent better? And if you

477
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: can do that each and every day and then we'll

478
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: be just fine. There so many things that I want

479
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: to ask you about. A few days after the Colts game.

480
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: You see, your university went another national championship. It's not

481
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: Clemson Alabama. What was it like being on the the sidelines

482
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: to watch as supposed to being in it. I would

483
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: rather be in it, for sure. But it was awesome, man,

484
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: it was It was great. And it was great to

485
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: see the young guys that that came up up to

486
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: me and I've seen them watching them, you know, grow

487
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: do scout team. Um, A lot of people that you know,

488
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: didn't think they're gonna be able to be at that position. Um,

489
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: you know, they conquered that and just be one of

490
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: the best teams ever go fifteen to o for the

491
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: first time. So I was awesome to see them do

492
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: that that night, and I was very excited. That riled

493
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: you up a little bit that you guys didn't you

494
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: got that pit one point while I kind of hanging

495
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: in there time of course, you know, both years. And

496
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: then we went fourteen to know and lost Alabama about five,

497
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: and then we went thirteen to one. We lost the pit,

498
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: but I wanted two points on the last set you

499
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: field goal. So yeah, it kind of hunt us, but

500
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: at the same time we knew that. I mean, it

501
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: was a it was a matter of time that somebody

502
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: was gonna do it. That's the that's a coaching program. Coach,

503
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: when you have we've seen you have some explosive days

504
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: on the field. We also saw a lot of other

505
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: games with other teams where they have high point totals.

506
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: Then you see the Super Bowl really low scoring. What

507
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: is it about this game? Where is it all going?

508
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: What does it all mean to you? You never you

509
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: never know. I mean it just depends on that day.

510
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: You never know who's gonna be in in that game.

511
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: Everyone is good. Yeah, it may seem that, hey, this

512
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: team is two and twelve and this team is Owens

513
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: his team. But everyone is good. Everyone has great players.

514
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: As obi always say, it's a lead that is set

515
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: up for eight and eight. So I mean it just

516
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: whoever plays better that day, it's gonna win. And those

517
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: two guys teams in the Super Bowl was going back

518
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: and forth, and you know, the Patris came out. They

519
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: made more players on offense, especially towards the end, and

520
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: pulled it off. When you see the matchups, you have

521
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: my homes coming out this year. You have Breeze. Now

522
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: you're not facing these guys individually, but that's the quarterback

523
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: tale of the tape, so to speak. That's got to

524
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: excite you when you think it's a great opportunity for

525
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: myself to be able to go out down and perform

526
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: and compete with the best, and you're not consider myself

527
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: as one of the best in the lead. And those

528
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: guys are up there also, so it's gonna be fun.

529
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: It's great to be able to know that they can

530
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: score a lot of points and I want to do

531
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: the same. Two years ago, this franchise was changed when

532
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: that man, Deshaun Watson was added in the twenty seventeen draft.

533
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: Coming up, let's get in the lab, Drew and I

534
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: will dork out on this twenty nineteen NFL Draft next

535
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: right here in Texas, Bloxas. Welcome back to Wednesday edition

541
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: the Texans are going to do with these draft picks

542
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: and looking forward to it. Now. Each and every week,

543
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty and I do a podcast called The Lab.

544
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: This week we went deep into draft discovery, draft talk

545
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: what the national media is saying. But Drew kicks it

546
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: off with three guys maybe you haven't heard of or

547
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: you don't know that are all connected for one particular reason.

548
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: Check this out. It's here, The draft is here in

549
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: just just a few short days, and I want to

550
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: I want to ask you what these three names have

551
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: in common, John, Justin Hunter, Corey Coleman, and Pat Mahomes.

552
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of a random grouping, isn't it. Justin Hunter

553
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: a wide receiver who was drafted in twenty thirteen. Twenty

554
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: sixteen's Corey Coleman, another wide receiver drafted by the Browns

555
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Pat Mahomes quarterback taken by the Chiefs ahead

556
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: of Deshaun Watson. Here, what could those three possibly have

557
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: in common? John, I think they're all trade ups. I

558
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: know Corey Coleman is, and I know Patrick Holmes is.

559
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that Coleman was. I could be wrong

560
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: on that, but I'm almost positive that Corey Coleman was

561
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: a trade up because I remember thinking who would be

562
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: the first receiver off the board in twenty sixteen, and

563
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: Will was in that conversation, Josh Doxson was that conversation.

564
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: Coleman was. I don't want to say consensus number one,

565
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: but I remember thinking I didn't have Coleman coming off

566
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: the board for a while. And then the Browns, I

567
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: want to say, traded up. So are they trade up situations?

568
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 1: I can't remember if Coleman was or not. I don't know.

569
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: That's not the connection. That's not where I'm going. Yeah,

570
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: you totally took this off. Okay, but that's all right.

571
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: That's what we do here on in the lab. Okay,

572
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 1: Justin Hunter and Corey Coleman and Pat Mahomes were all

573
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: in the final Houston Texans mock draft survey of that

574
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: year thirteen, sixteen, and seventeen. Yeah, they were who most

575
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: of the experts or the majority of the experts had

576
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: the Texans taking in the first round now finishing second

577
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: in each of those mock draft surveys, if you want

578
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: to go chronologically, twenty thirteen, most experts had DeAndre Hopkins

579
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: going to the Texans. In sixteen, most experts had will

580
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: Fuller going to Texas second second most behind him, and

581
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: in seventeen, Watson Cam Robinson, where the second finisher in

582
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: the mock draft survey in three of the last five

583
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: of them that the Texans about a first round pick

584
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: has wound up being the pick. So right now, unless

585
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: something drastic changes, it looks like Andre Dillard is gonna

586
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: win the Houston Texans mock draft surveys, which give him

587
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: about high five. Yeah, he's going somewhere else. But the

588
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: second the guy, if it looks like his his second

589
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: tally holds. Cody Ford, Oklahoma offensive lineman has the second

590
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: most votes right now. But I went back and looked

591
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: at some of these. Peter King has been right on

592
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: a lot of them. He called will Fuller, I mean

593
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: he uh yeah, yeah. So it's interesting knowing that and

594
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: knowing what he wrote about yesterday a trade, and all

595
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: we've been hearing is that the Texans are going to

596
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: trade back, and now we're starting to hear from some

597
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: of these national guys that they might trade well. I'm

598
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm starting to doubt my own self because I thought

599
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: the chance they trade up well here. Here's a couple

600
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: of things. Number one, I think I think a trade

601
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: up in a mock draft, because look, when you do

602
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: your mock draft, you can do one or two things.

603
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: You can either just draft as is, which you know

604
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: is not gonna happen, or you can start invoking trades. Well.

605
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: To trade up, first of all, you gotta have a

606
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: team that wants to trade down. And the teams that

607
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 1: I've talked about trading down are the Lions. Yeah, I

608
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: haven't heard Miami, but I wouldn't be surprised if Miami

609
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: because they want to add Yeah, the Jets. Now three

610
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: is too far to move up, I think, and I

611
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: know it's I think it's too cost prohibitive to move

612
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: up at that point. But those are teams that talked

613
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: about moving down. So you gotta have teams that moved

614
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: down and then and that want to move down. Then

615
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: you've got the fact that the Texans have a pretty

616
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: distinct need in that being in the offensive line. You

617
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: could say corner, but I would think to go up

618
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: and get one of the top three guys Jonah Williams,

619
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: Juan Taylor, Andre Dillard, and I would think they would

620
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: go Taylor, Dillard, than Williams. But either way, I think

621
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: Jona Williams a heck of a football football player, and

622
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: I think for us he ended might end up playing

623
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: left tackle. In the end, he might play be a

624
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: right tackle, might be Brian Bulaga. Basically Blago is left

625
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: tackle at Ioway. He moved over the right tackle for

626
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: the Packers and was a really solid player and has

627
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: been a solid player ever since he got there. That

628
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: might be what happens. But I think Jonah might start

629
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: out at left tackle and then move it to right

630
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: depending on what happens. But that said, you've got a

631
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: distinct position need, and the Texans have I don't want

632
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: to say excess draft capital, but they've got. In addition,

633
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: they've got the ammunition. So all of that when you

634
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: when you factor in all of that, not to mention

635
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: the teams that have the Texas have been mentioned about

636
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: trading up. Those are teams that, like I mentioned Detroit,

637
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: Bob Quinn, there's a New England connection in Miami. Brian

638
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: Flores took over his head coach. There's a heavy Miami

639
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: connection there. Even though Chris Greers at GM, there's a

640
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: big time New England connection there. So sometimes you frying

641
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: teams that you want to deal with. And here's another one.

642
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: You know, Denver might be in a situation where it

643
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: wants to trade down as well. And last year John

644
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: Elway and Brian Gamman, Brian sat here and told us, boy,

645
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: John was really easy to work with John Elway being

646
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: the president of operations there, that John was really easy

647
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: to work with. You throw all of that together, the

648
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: fact that there are teams that one to move down.

649
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: The Texans have a distinct need. They have excess draft capital,

650
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: that extra second rounder that they have, and it makes

651
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: a lot of sense that they're a team that everybody

652
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: pushes forward as far as hey, this is a trade up.

653
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: This team I could see trading up because the other

654
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: aspect of it is it's eleven and five football team

655
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: from last year that if you fix that need, how

656
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: much better can this team be? So it makes a

657
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: lot of sense. There's one person in particular in the

658
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: national media that I pay attention to more than any other.

659
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: He also had a trade scenario, and I tend to

660
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: trust a lot of the things that I've heard him

661
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: say over the years, Albert Brier from MMQB. A lot

662
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: of times what Albert says, I trust I know that

663
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: guy does his leg working. He's connected man. He's never

664
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: he's never just gonna go out, and he has a

665
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: trade up. He has a trade up situation. And his

666
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: mock or I don't if he did a mock, but

667
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: he said there are two teams he keep an eye on,

668
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: Houston being one of him. I can't remember what the

669
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: other one was. I think it's Carolina as far as

670
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: being positioned to move up that one because and his

671
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 1: reasoning was, Texans have two second round picks, Carolina's got

672
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: two third round picks, and so that's that's been I've

673
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: seen that more. I don't know how many mocks I've

674
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: looked at, and Houston has been a trade up in

675
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: every single situation. Yeah, every single situation. So I won't

676
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: be surprised. I've said this before. I won't be surprised

677
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: at anything that happens. I don't care what it is.

678
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: I don't care if we're sitting at twenty three to

679
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Texas drafted Kyler Murray, I wouldn't be surprised at anything.

680
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: I think that would be strange, but I wouldn't be

681
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: surprised at anything. I've seen these drafts you've seen these drafts, Well,

682
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: let me give you a little bit. Have been so

683
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: many different things that were like, why I didn't see

684
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: that comment. Let me give you a little factoid that

685
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: I think we don't always remember at this time of year,

686
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: or we're not remembering this time this year. Texans have

687
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: not stayed put in the first round since twenty fifteen.

688
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: They moved up in seventeen. They moved up in sixteen

689
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: to get will Fuller just one spot, but they moved

690
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: up to get them, moved up drastically to get to

691
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: the show. Watson the next year, didn't have a pick

692
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: last year. So it's been a while since they've stayed put.

693
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: And then I want to veer back. I just have

694
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: this gut in this uh and I don't think it's

695
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: it's anything outlandish, but I really have like a mild

696
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: crush on Jonah Williams. Yeah. I think he is just

697
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: and I think he can play left tackle. I think

698
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: he could too, and I think he'd be really good

699
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: at left tackle, And just based on based on what

700
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: I saw of him at the Combine when he was

701
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: meeting with people, talking with people, based on what he

702
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: did in college. I just I think that guy's just

703
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 1: so well, he looks so dependable. There are two guys,

704
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a few guys, but there are

705
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: two guys in particular that I know the things I

706
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: know about them and what we know about this locker

707
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: room and what Brian Gay and Bill O'Brien have talked

708
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: about as sort of our kind of guys, if you will.

709
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: Jonah Williams is one of them. Apparently he sits down

710
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: with a spreadsheet before every game. Yeah, that goes through.

711
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: He's a gym rat. He loved the game. He's everything.

712
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: He's everything you really want a player. The only thing

713
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: he's not is a really tremendous athlete, right, And that's

714
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: the one thing that carried Dwayne when he struggled the

715
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: first couple of years was he was very athletic. Yeah,

716
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: so he could once his technique and all that kind

717
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: of matchup with the athleticis he made him getting one

718
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: of the great left tackles in the game. But I

719
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: don't know that you could say that David baktr is

720
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: a great athlete, but he moves extremely well as technique

721
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: is tremendous. He's tougher nails. He studies to I mean,

722
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: he's he was a first team All Pro last year. Yeah,

723
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: and he was a fourth rounder, a guy that Texas

724
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: could have had in twenty thirteen but obviously didn't have

725
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: a needed twenty thirteen. So from that perspective, Jonah Williams

726
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: and the other one is Dalton Riisener. Reisener is one

727
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: thousand percent ball And I'll never forget we I can't

728
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: remember what game it was, but we had a home game,

729
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: may have been the Giants opener, and I was I

730
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: just remember this. I was down in the end zone

731
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: and we were getting ready for the game and we

732
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: went to a break and all of a sudden, Drey

733
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: goes Johnny and I was like, oh, you know Dalton Reiser.

734
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, I love that guy. And

735
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: he goes, I want that guy to be a Texan

736
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: and he goes, that's the quintessential Texan. And they had

737
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: production meetings at Kansas State because Dre was calling I

738
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: think it was Kase State, Mississippi State or maybe a

739
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: Kase State, you mask, one of the two. He was

740
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: calling that game, and they did the production meeting with

741
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: Dalton Reiser and he's like, Johnny, he's one of the

742
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: most impressive dudes I've ever talked to. In a production meeting,

743
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: he said, he's off the charts. I tried to get

744
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: to him at the Senior Bowl and there were like

745
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: eight to ten people thick aroun him. I couldn't get

746
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 1: to him because he was he literally was just holding court.

747
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: And he had good practices that week two. Oh, he

748
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 1: had really good practices, great practices. He played a right tackle.

749
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: He's smart. I mean, he's he is, He's a Texans line.

750
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: I think Andre Dillard can be that. I think Andrea

751
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: is a little quieter. Yeah, you know, he's not He's

752
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be a guy like Dalton that gets up

753
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: in front of the you know he Andre's not gonna

754
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: be bad, but he's He's just a little bit quiet.

755
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: The way that he goes about things. Reisener just is

756
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: so good in speaking to the media and talking to people,

757
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: and then he plays the game with a chip on

758
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: his shoulder, which I think is fantastic. I honestly, I

759
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if all you know, Jonah is off

760
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,919
Speaker 1: the board, John Taylor's off the board, Dealer's off the board,

761
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: or Williams off the board, and they take Dalton Reisener.

762
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised as twenty three and I wouldn't

763
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: have a problem with that. Just get that, wouldn't have

764
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: a problem. He's gonna end up making your offensive line

765
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: better in the long run, no doubt, no doubt. But

766
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Drew. I think you know, there's a

767
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: lot of talking about Jonah going into guard and I

768
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: get all that, but yeah, Jonah struggled with Cleveland Frell

769
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: and I had to get over that. I really had

770
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: to get over that. I had a hard time at first,

771
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: like trying to get over that. Like, man, Farrell just

772
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: really kind of ate him up, And I was like,

773
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: is that where the athleticism or lack thereof like not

774
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: being a great athlete, Is that really where it shows?

775
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: But I just feel like if you get him in

776
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: your system, he's gonna study every single day. He's gonna

777
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: be like the Shawn in that way. I think that's

778
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: what we talked about a lot with the Sean. When

779
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: Sean got here, he took the playbook just soaked it in,

780
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: like every day. And sometimes guys have a bad day. Yeah,

781
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: sometimes there's a bad match. I mean, Dwayne Brown will

782
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: tell you himself. It was tough going against Dwight Freed.

783
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: He said, I struggled against Dwight Freedy. Yeah. I had

784
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: bad days against Dwight Freeddy. Sometimes you're just gonna have

785
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: bad days against guys in the NFL, no doubt. But

786
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: I think you take out that one game against against Clemson, um,

787
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: pretty damn good resume. Otherwise. Oh, I mean. And the

788
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: thing about it is, and he probably probably probably learned

789
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 1: from what he struggled with against that guy and knows

790
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: how to correct that. And probably all offseason, Drew he

791
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: has worked at whatever it was it was giving him

792
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: issues against Cleveland Farrell and sometimes it was Farrell Strengthen. Look,

793
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: sometimes you're not you know, you can only get so strong.

794
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: But I guarantee the things that he didn't do that

795
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: night against Farrell, Um, he's gonna want to do better

796
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get better. And that's what you know

797
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: about him, is he's gonna work his tail off to

798
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: get better. One worry I do have about I do

799
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: have this this worry about Alabama guys. As the Alabama

800
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: guys come into the league and they have success, but

801
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: they get beatn up in college. Nick does not back

802
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: off fifteen games a year, playing the rid game, the

803
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: semifinal game exactly. So Jonahs only played three years Alabama,

804
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: so he was not like he's not Retchard's senior wears

805
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: there for five years and he played four. He played

806
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: three years. He played a lot of football. Just you

807
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: would hope that he's held up BodyWise. I mean, we

808
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: just found out today that was Shan Garry's dealing with

809
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: Labraham tearing his shoulder that could send him down the

810
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: draft board, could not he could play with the first year.

811
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: It's really up the teams. I mean, you know, Mate Sweats,

812
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: dealing with Harkness, some of those things. You just don't

813
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: know how that's gonna play out on draft night. But

814
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: I would imagine I haven't heard anything medically on Jona Williams,

815
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: but I just know that the Alabama guys come into

816
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: the league pretty pretty beat up. I remember CJ. Mosley

817
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: coming into the league from Alabama going to the Baltimore Ravens,

818
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: and he had tape everywhere on him. I love him

819
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: as a player, but I just worry he was gonna

820
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: break down. And luckily he hasn't. And there and and

821
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: if and if that player doesn't from Alabama. You know

822
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a good football player because they've gone

823
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: through the ringer. I mean, Nick has put him through

824
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: the process and play Alabama. They played in the crucible

825
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: week in week out in the SEC, and then yep,

826
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: in December January they do it again in playoffs, and

827
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: you just multiple times you just reminded me where I

828
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: was going with this point. And that is a lot

829
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 1: of what Alabama does. We also do. They run zone game.

830
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: We run zone game. They run a little bit of power.

831
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: We don't run as much power. You know, they run

832
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of it. So I think it's easier

833
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: to look at a guy like Jonah Williams and say,

834
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: and this is where I think, looking at Dillard, you've

835
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: got to project a little bit more in that. Okay,

836
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: could this guy? Could this guy be a good run

837
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: blocker for us? If he is gonna be a good

838
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: run blocker for us, is he gonna be more a

839
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: power guy? He's gonna be more of his own guy.

840
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be more of his own guy.

841
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: But either way, point being with Jonah Williams, you've seen it, Yeah,

842
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: you've seen what he can do. The projection is probably

843
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: a little bit um easier to make from that perspective.

844
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: You know where his Florence ceiling are going to be?

845
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: Where you looking at Dillard. As much as I love

846
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: him as a pass protector, as a run blocker, you go,

847
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: ah man games on an island. Yeah, that when when

848
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: those wide splits and Leech's offense, it's and listen, it's

849
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: just one on one a lot of times, even if

850
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna run the ball at all. True, but I

851
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: may not even run the ball. But it's not like

852
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 1: Leech's quarterback history. I mean, his quarterbacks have been great

853
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: in college and really they never wound up lightening up

854
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. However, he's had some offensive lineman flourish

855
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Louis Vasque Basquez, first, Manuel Ramirez, Manny Ramirez. Um,

856
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: he's done really well. So Yeah, over the years, he's

857
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: had some guys who have made it and been solid

858
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: contributors in the NFL. Yeah, no doubt. I I'm with you.

859
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: I like Jonah Williams. I've kind of as the process

860
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: has gone on, I probably learned to like him a

861
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: lot more than I may have earlier in the process.

862
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: He seems like he's the devil, you know, man, Yeah,

863
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: I think he's the devil. You know, I think know

864
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: what he's gonna what he's gonna do for you. Yeah,

865
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: no doubt. And I think that's what's different from a

866
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: guy like Greg Little too, Like you watch Greg Little

867
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: and you go, we don't really do any of that.

868
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: So you're really making a projection on a guy that's like,

869
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: oh man, I don't I don't know. You're really making

870
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: a projection with Jonah. Like you said, you know what

871
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna get. Now, Look, you might get a B

872
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: plus versus you know, a plus, but you're gonna get yeah,

873
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah, you take a B plus every single

874
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: day of the the week. Okay, I'm going to Nashville on Wednesday,

875
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: uh when Thursday, during the day, I'm gonna talk to

876
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: our buddy DeAndre Hopkins. He's gonna be presenting the second

877
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: round picks. He'll be calling out the names and number two.

878
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: But before that, I'm gonna catch up with him see

879
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: what he's been doing this offseason. I want to find

880
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 1: out what the one thing he's worked on this year

881
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: has been, because last year he was catching golf balls

882
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: and tennis balls because he wanted to work on his hands,

883
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: which is amazing. So I want to find out what

884
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: the greatest in the game is doing to get better,

885
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: because I know he's doing something to get better. So

886
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find out that a few more things other

887
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: things from him. We'll talk with you guys live right

Speaker 1: before the draft six o'clock hour on Thursday night, and

889
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,080

891
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: and have a good time. But I can't wait. Nashville

892
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be fun. Drew's headed off to Nashville. Hopefully

893
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: he's safe. He took a team up there, so hope

894

Speaker 1: to catch up with him. I know we'll catch up

897
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: with him on the radio, but hopefully they can catch

898
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: up with him. From video perspectives, that's always cool when

899
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,239

Speaker 1: that was really really cool to have all that video.

901
