1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: What's up everybody?

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 2: Welcome in to a Friday edition of Texans All Access

3
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: from the Hyundai Texans Radio Studio. I've been waiting all

4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 2: week to say those words, as I have, well as

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: many of you have been going through Hurricane Barrel and

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: then ended up in Big twelve media days out in

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Did the show this segment from Vegas, which

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: was always fun with the voice of the Texans who

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: joins me now, Mark Vanderbermark.

10
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: It is very, very good to be in the same

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: room doing radio with you. How you doing.

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: Great to be back, Johnny, back at it and can't

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: wait for training camp coming up. We've been really counting

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: down to this for a long time and we're within

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: a week, I mean one week from tonight, will be

16
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: through day two of camp, so a lot will have happened.

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 3: Can't wait for all of that. But everybody knows that

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 3: everybody's dealing with the weather. So many people still without power.

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: Hope you get it back soon. Today's rain not welcome.

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: But the only silver lining there is if you don't

21
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: have power, it's.

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: A little cooler, that's true. Cools off the house. So

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: speaking of cooler, it was not in Las Vegas.

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: I told you this. I have never been now.

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: We had last June, not this past June, the June

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three. That June, I remember, we had

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: a stretch of one oh six or hotter for like

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: fifteen days or something like that. You attack on the humidity,

29
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: and holy cow, it was ridiculous. So when I was

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: out in Vegas, I got out there on Tuesday, on

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: the Monday that barrow was hitting here, Las Vegas was

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: hit with one hundred twenty degree temperature.

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: That was a high. Oh my gosh, it was one

34
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen on a Tuesday that I arrived.

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: So on Wednesday, my wife and I decided to go

36
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: to dinner because she met me there. We walked from

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: the Blagio, which is where the Big Twelve had their

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: their rooms, and we walked probably a block and a half.

39
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: It was one hundred and thirteen at seven o'clock at night.

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: Your shoes melt. It was ridiculous.

41
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: However, it was weird because we got to the hotel

42
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: and we weren't all sweaty. You walk that far on

43
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: an August day here in Houston and you're soaked you

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: need to shower. We were not sweaty. We just we're

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: hot and miserable. It was midnight and it was one

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: oh six.

47
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: See that's the difference to me.

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: It was midnight, it was one o six because in Houston,

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: when it's hot at night, there's sort of a cooler feeling,

50
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: for lack of a better way of putting it. Yeah,

51
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: but what I noticed when we go to Arizona for

52
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: preseason games and we're out the night before. You know,

53
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: when you're in the stadium, you're fine. When we're out

54
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: the night before, it feels like did somebody leave the

55
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: heat on?

56
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Right? Did somebody leave the oven open?

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: That's exactly. And you're walking around at night and it's

58
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: like that. It's like you walked into a car. You

59
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: get into a car, and everybody's experienced this because we

60
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: do have some cold temperatures, and when people in Houston

61
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: get cold temperatures, they cranked the heat on their car.

62
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 2: Well as you're driving to your car. It eventually, once

63
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: you put that heat on, it gets almost stifled, like

64
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: you almost can't.

65
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: Even breathe, Like, oh, man, turn a heat off, turn

66
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: a heat off.

67
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: Oh that's what it's like when you're walking through that.

68
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: It was my wife and I just couldn't stop talking

69
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: about how weird it felt, how And of course she's

70
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: been living out in LA for a little bit, you know,

71
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: with my daughter for a while, so she's used to

72
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,559
Speaker 2: that La temperature.

73
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: Then she goes to Las Vegas. I've been out here,

74
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: so I'm used to it to a degree.

75
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: But then you get out there, Mark, I I had

76
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: chapped lips the entire time I was out there.

77
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: That's right. You just killed me. Yeah, it is. It's

78
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: rough on the killer, it's rough on the epidermis.

79
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: By the way, I hope you didn't jinx us talking

80
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: about the one hundred plus temperatures of twenty twenty three

81
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: because with camp coming up, I don't want to have

82
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: any sort of talk like that whatsoever.

83
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: Listen, that's just fact. It wasn't like that's just the

84
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: fact that just happened in June. I'm not saying, oh,

85
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: we'll never have a temperatures like that again.

86
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, this is what

87
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: happens here, has been better. You know, you just did it.

88
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: Oh I did you just did it. Oh.

89
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: Hanna mcnary's to be mad at me because she thinks

90
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: I jinx things sometimes she does. Well, she's concerned that.

91
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: I just she's concerned. I don't know if she's convinced,

92
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: but she's concerned. Right, she knows she and I are

93
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: on the right side of that.

94
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

95
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: You you definitely did last year that she got upset up,

96
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: not really upset, I'm joking. I can't remember what it

97
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: was said, something about the healthy nature of the team

98
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: during something like that. That did not go over well.

99
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: She's like the deep your mouth shut up at that.

100
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,440

00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 3: even if you are on a PA system, they come

124

125
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 3: into the headset, they come up. Some people are saying

126
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: stuff like where's the restroom? Because we're right in the

Speaker 2: I think it gets It's almost like AirPod confusing, you know,

134
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: when you see somebody in there walking and then all

135
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: of a sudden they start talking and you think, oh,

136
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 2: are they talking to me?

137
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,000

00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 2: than not.

140
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: When I'm on the phone.

141
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 3: I try to sometimes and I'm walking near people, I'll

142
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: actually put my hand up to my ear and it

143
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 3: shows that signal. Yeah, I'm focusing. I'm focusing on this call.

144
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to be rude.

145
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: Also, like restaurant guy who is on the phone really

146
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: loud in front of everybody and he's alone at a

147
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: table and he's projecting. Well, I thought that deal was

148
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: pretty good. Hey, dude, use the phone. You don't have

149
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: to speak so loudly. Yeah, use headphones. Oh you missed

150
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: a good segment. The other day, Tyler Milner and I

151
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: did one on enjoining room neighbors at hotels, Oh, the

152
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 3: ones you don't want, And I got a lot of

153
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: feedback on that, you know, like, yeah, a guy who

154
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: talks on the phone too loud. Yeah, there's definitely that

155
00:06:58,839 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: overly romantic couple.

156
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: You know.

157
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 3: We went through all of them, and there were several

158
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: others that came in after hours.

159
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: The hotel one.

160
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: It's funny because I'm not I'm not in a lot

161
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: of times bothered by or hear stuff from other rooms.

162
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm concerned all the time.

163
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: I don't want foul smells for the most part, I mean,

164
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: I don't want noise.

165
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's true. I don't know, maybe some people,

166
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: some people do it, you know what.

167
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: I don't like room that's even remotely close to the

168
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: elevator shaft, even if you're on the other side of

169
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: the hallway. For some reason, you hear the cables, like

170
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 3: you know. And I'm a light sleeper, especially at a hotel,

171
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: because it's the fight or flight thing.

172
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: I'm more the airport pet peeve guy, like put your

173
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: headphones in. Put your headphones in. That's all you gotta do.

174
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: And here's the other one. Because I experienced this, I

175
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: mean during the season is I mean, everybody kind of

176
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: knows each other as we you know, travel together on

177
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: our on our team flights. But getting on a plane

178
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: and getting off a plane it's the most mad in

179
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: the world. It's the most maddening thing in the world.

180
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: I don't understand how with so many smart people we

181
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: can't come up with a better process of getting people

182
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: and they're stuff off a plane.

183
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: I'm actually I'm impressed we're able to pack as many

184
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: people onto planes as we do. I agree with you

185
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 3: that with our luggage, and it just takes a long time.

186
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: And a lot of people don't travel all the time,

187
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: so they're not used to it. And I will say

188
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: this also, I heard a comedian talk about this. Might

189
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: have been Luis k. I think it's been canceled. I

190
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: don't know if he's back yet from cancelation, but he

191
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 3: had a routine about people who complain about flying. Not

192
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: that you're in this group, Johnny. You are in a

193
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: seat thirty thousand feet above the sky going three hundred,

194
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: four hundred miles per hour and you get there safely.

195
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: That's incredible. It's an unbelievable few hundred bucks. It's unbelievable

196
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: to think. But I think about that all the time.

197
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: I thought about Clark would have given a lot for

198
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff.

199
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: I thought about that on Tuesday, and I thought about

200
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: it again yesterday because yesterday I start my day and

201
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: I'm with my wife in Vegas, and then I end

202
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: the night with my son and my dogs in Houston.

203
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: Like that dichotomy of where you start your day and

204
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: where you end your day. It's unbelievable to think that

205
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: you can end up three time zones away in just

206
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: four or five hours, depending on where you're going.

207
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: So I agree with you. I just think people's.

208
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: What's the right way of saying this. Like, for example,

209
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 2: I was sitting I can't remember what row I was sitting.

210
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: I was like Row twenty on the flight to Vegas.

211
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: The plane lands and okay, we pull up to the

212
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: to the gate, plane lands, and people in rows thirty

213
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: and beyond are like running up and getting in the eye.

214
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 4: Wrong.

215
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing? Yeah, that's really wrong.

216
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: And this guy next to me, thankfully, he kind of understood.

217
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: He kind of looked at me and chuckled as well,

218
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: because I'm just like, I literally said it out loud,

219
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: like we do it. I mean, we're in row twenty.

220
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 2: We can't get you know, the people in row seven.

221
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: I got to get off. It's just remarkable to have.

222
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: A connecting flight. Did they read one of those messages?

223
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: Maybe would you please let those with the connecting flights exit?

224
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: They should have said something like, hey, I've got to

225
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: get a connecting flight. I really have got to go.

226
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: People get the way for that. Like I let people

227
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 2: like two or three times pass me in the security line,

228
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: like hey, go ahead, you gotta go. You gotta go like,

229
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: I got no problems with that, and people just say, hey,

230
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 2: do you want I'm like, no, wow, prop security line y,

231
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah for you? Oh yeah, nice, I'll I'll be definitely nice.

232
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: CBS Sports did a right up on the linebackers in

233
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: the NFL. So they did the top twenty linebackers in

234
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: the NFL. Where do you think they had either Christian

235
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: Harris or.

236
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Is zizel Shire out of the top twenty? Yeah? Did

237
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: they make the top twenty? That's the better question.

238
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 3: These I think, based on his numbers, could make the

239
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: top twenty. I don't think they'll recognize Christian just yet

240
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 3: because he's still on the rise even though he had

241
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: a great second half second part of the season, plus

242
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: the postseason. Picked six in a playoff game is gonna

243
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 3: get a lot of eyeballs. But I would say disease

244
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 3: is somewhere probably fifteen to twenty on this NFL list.

245
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: See, I was with your thinking. I thought that too.

246
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: They did not put either one on there. They have

247
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: a few that I have some questions about, but okay,

248
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 2: that's I mean, it's fine.

249
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this about before you go there.

250
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 3: When we do two deeps now Johnny, and you notice

251
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: how they do the nickel now and Tyler and I

252
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 3: were talking about this the other day, but I brought up,

253
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 3: why do we even bother for four to three talking

254
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: about three linebackers as starters when when they start being done? Yeah,

255
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: I mean when they play less than forty percent of

256
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: the time. In other words, your deal, that third linebacker

257
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 3: is literally now in today's NFL, a situational player. That's

258
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: the situation, not the nickel guy. The nickel guy isn't

259
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 3: the situational player. He's a regular player. He's playing over

260
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: sixty percent of the snaps in today's NFL. The third

261
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 3: linebacker is only playing less than forty Yep.

262
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: Right, you read my damn mind? Okay, because that's exactly

263
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: where I was going with this. It was a couple

264
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: of things.

265
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: Number One, neither of the Texans made this top twenty

266
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 2: list for linebackers.

267
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: I didn't have too much of a quibble with that.

268
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand it.

269
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: Disease has kind of been doing this his thing in

270
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: relative obscurity because he's backing up to of the greats

271
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: and Drake green Law and Fred Warner who's number one

272
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: on this list, and green Laws on this list as well,

273
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: and he only had one year with Tennessee where he

274
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: was very very good, but that's not enough to really

275
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 2: get enough attention to get on a list like this.

276
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: Fifteen through twenty, I thought, eh, I don't know. I

277
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: mean Tremaine Advance for the Bears. That was a big

278
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 2: free to sign on. If he's good now, jokay that

279
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: at fifteen he should have been at top ten. Foyle Lucan,

280
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: who we know for the Jaguars at sixteen. Frankieluvu with

281
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: the Commanders now at seventeenth is very very good.

282
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: We saw him with Carolina last year. Logan Wilson eighteen.

283
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: I love Jelani Tylai for the Patriots has been good

284
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: relative obscurity. I even paced junior undrafted out of Cincinnati

285
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: they have at number twenty, and he kind of projects

286
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: him to be in that group. Don't have a lot

287
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: of I really don't. I think disease is better than

288
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: probably two or three of those guys. But you kind

289
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: of brought up my point because I was having this guy.

290
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 2: I had this conversation I think it was with Brain

291
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: and Scott when I did I did Morning Show back.

292
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: I think Memorial day, maybe back in May, and he

293
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: he brought this up, and I thought it was an

294
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: interesting point, but it kind of leads to something that

295
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: you talked about. Are you concerned at all with the

296
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: linebacker depth that the Texans have? And I bring that

297
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: up because to your point, one of my answers was,

298
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: you know your base defense. We can think about your

299
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: base defense now you don't think about a four man

300
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: or a four to three. What a lot of people

301
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: say is, well, they play a four man surface or

302
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: they're a three man surface, which is the old school

303
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: four to three, you know, three four sort of thing.

304
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: And I don't know that anybody is playing a third linebacker,

305
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: whether it's.

306
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: A three four four three, But it just it just

307
00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: feels like.

308
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: The the linebacker position has changed so much that you

309
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: don't need to have the numbers maybe you've had in

310
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: the past, and maybe you can get away with, you know,

311
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: five linebackers on the roster because you're.

312
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Only gonna play two.

313
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 2: One of those guys is gonna be, like you said,

314
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: the situational linebacker. But you can always play a safety

315
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: or play nickel in that star position, which is what

316
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: you're gonna play majority of the time.

317
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: Anyways.

318
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: But okay, in your five two or four to five

319
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: or whatever however you want to describe it, let's look

320
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: at it this way. Johnny Christian Harris and disease. Yep,

321
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: if one gets hurt, right, who's playing?

322
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: I think that's the big question. Yeah.

323
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 3: Is it Jacob Phillips who we talked about because we

324
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 3: aired his interview the other night, and that could be

325
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: this year's Blake Cashman, guy who's suddenly healthy enough, and

326
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: my gosh, look at the ability because he's out there,

327
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: he's available. Jake Hanson, he's another player who could rise.

328
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this, is it a cond I would

329
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: say yes, because there's not a sure thing there if

330
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: one of those two guys goes down. But I have

331
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: faith in the coaching staff and in the personnel department

332
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 3: that they came up with enough options here as a

333
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: solution where it's all gonna work out. In other words,

334
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: can Henry take the jump that Kristin Harris did or

335
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 3: something similar like that. Hanson with health I think is

336
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: a pretty good player. Now, Neville Hewitt can play, but

337
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: he's there. He's a special team team, right, but he

338
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: could still play for you if you need to I

339
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: don't know about del Sean Phillips maybe.

340
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: I mean he's he's thought to be a special team's guy.

341
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: Jamal Hill is going to be interesting. And how how

342
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: he fits in because of how he runs that that's

343
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: gonna be one. And like you said, because that third

344
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: linebacker position is more situational now than a nickel or

345
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: a star is, I think the roster making for that

346
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: third linebacker spot, so to speak, becomes huh, kind of

347
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: doghead turned, like, man, what do we really this could

348
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: be unique?

349
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: How we use this guy?

350
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 4: Well?

351
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: And then your guy from the East West game, what's

352
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: his name again?

353
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 3: Eric Eric Galco? Eric Galco, who was instrumental in the

354
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: kickoff rule in the XFL. He talked about the need

355
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: for linebackers in the kick return game and that, look,

356
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: we talked about this in a three four defense for

357
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: a long time. You know, those linebackers really help with

358
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: your special teams. Well, now you're looking at special teams

359
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: with a premium that we haven't seen maybe ever. We

360
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: don't know how to assess the kickoff right now. We

361
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: know it's going to be a monumental play in games.

362
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 3: And again it's something that yeah, people are talking about it,

363
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: But I just don't know if we really know what

364
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: to make up it until.

365
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: We see it in the flesh.

366
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, you need linebackers to play in that phase

367
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 3: of the game. So you're gonna need some decent, two

368
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 3: really great special teamers, and some volume there at the

369
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: linebacking corps.

370
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: This hit me when I was in Vegas, and I

371
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: just the math on it again because when I was

372
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: talking Eric, that got me thinking, Wow, we are going

373
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: to be the first game with those new kickoff rules.

374
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the first game, Guinea Pig game.

375
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: And then today when I was walking in, I started thinking,

376
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: that's also the first game where we're gonna see our

377
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: new uniforms.

378
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: Man, that's gonna be a wild, a wild night. Well,

379
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: I don't know this what color they wear?

380
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: I know that's what I was thinking. Which one the

381
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: road UNI, it's not a road game. It's a neutral

382
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: site game.

383
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 5: Right.

384
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 3: You might be in your home uniform. Right, It's definitely

385
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 3: not gonna be h Town blue or battle red.

386
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 4: We know that.

387
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 2: I tell you what, if there's a screw up, it's

388
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: gonna look at innsquad scrimmage.

389
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 6: I know, bears and guard detail, squad scrip like blue

390
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 6: black blue it is. But yeah, I thought about that, man,

391
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 6: that is a wild night.

392
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: The new Uniformstrey's going in the Hall of Fame, new

393
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 2: kickoff rules, and then obviously, you know, unveiling the team

394
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 2: for the first time, and we know what that game,

395
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 2: we're probably you know, probably not gonna see c J.

396
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: There's gonna you're gonna see a lot of the the twos,

397
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 2: the threes, the fours, et cetera. But it's gonna be

398
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: a really good opportunity for those guys. But unveiling that

399
00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: kickoff rule is gonna be.

400
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: I am pumped for that one.

401
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 3: I am so for all these preseason games, not just

402
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 3: because a it's Texans twenty twenty four and we're off

403
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: and running, but the Hall of Fame game for everything

404
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 3: you just described, the environment, all the Texans fans that

405
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: are gonna be there. There's gonna be a ton of

406
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: Texans fans in that building that night for that game,

407
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 3: and obviously for the induction ceremony on Saturday. And I

408
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 3: don't know about that dinner on Friday. I guess that's

409
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: an exclusive event. Who knows, you and I will be

410
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 3: live for Texans all access to that Friday night between

411
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 3: the game and the ceremony, but also a week later

412
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: at Pittsburgh.

413
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: I just and I know you feel the same way.

414
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: I love going to Pittsburgh.

415
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: I love it and playing the Steelers, storied franchise in

416
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: their building. Yeah, you're not at three Rivers. You're at

417
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 3: a better stadium. You're at the former Heinz Field.

418
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 7: You know.

419
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 2: Weird it was when we went there in twenty I

420
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: was so excited. Steelers on his schedule. I when I

421
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: went there in fourteen, it was my first time I

422
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: had been to Pittsburgh. But that night football, Monday night football,

423
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: we don't do well. But I loved it.

424
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: I had got to walk the city, went to Fromanni Brothers.

425
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: I loved it.

426
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: It was was in October. I think it was gorgeous weather.

427
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: I mean, what an environment Monday night. It was really cool.

428
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: So you go back there in twenty twenty, it's covid.

429
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: There's not a soul in that stadium.

430
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: Or anywhere downtown. I would have been anywhere nowhere. We

431
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: just we basically were hold up in our room. Yeah,

432
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: it was wait, are you go outside and go for

433
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: a walk?

434
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 5: No?

435
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: Really, I didn't go outside, didn't do anything. Now, we

436
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: were also playing that game at noon too.

437
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: Oh so its noon as well, I should say, so

438
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: I didn't really you know, the Monday night game.

439
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: I had all kinds of time in the morning to

440
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: go down and went to P and C.

441
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: And this is going to sound a little morbid, but Pittsburgh,

442
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: We've been there several times in about Texans history, and

443
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: I've been there for college basketball as well. Yeah, back

444
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 3: in the day you walk downtown, there are these old

445
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: churches right right in the thick of everything with graveyards

446
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: in front, with ravestones from the early eighteen hundreds of

447
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: late seventeen.

448
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: I think at the late that's wild. I don't know.

449
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 3: I like looking at that stuff because I think about

450
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: people's lives and what they did, and I read the tombstone.

451
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: And it just adds to the history of the city

452
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: to me, which I yeah, you're right, it does sound

453
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 2: a little bit more of in some sense, but it's

454
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: historical and it's in some sense celebrating those people.

455
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: I think that's really cool, to be honest with you.

456
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 3: But three rivers merging and Pittsburgh is a great, hallowed

457
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 3: American city.

458
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: Yes, very cool city that it wasn't really until fourteen

459
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: that I was like, Wow, this voice is great. Really

460
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: just didn't understand how great it was. So we'll have

461
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 2: that and then we come back home for two games.

462
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: I'll take place at twelve noon, so make sure because

463
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: I know preseason clocks for people are a little different.

464
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: You know, we get to wait till seven o'clock to

465
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: see the game on TV or see it live and

466
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: Energy state.

467
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 3: No, the game will be at new I'm gonna throw

468
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 3: something at you right now, okay, because here's something worth watching.

469
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: And I don't know what's gonna happen.

470
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: I haven't taught to anybody, but with the damage to

471
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 3: the roof, which is no secret. Everyone's seen the video

472
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 3: and everything like that, I don't know how they're going

473
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 3: to get it done in time. There is some time,

474
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 3: but there are also needs of resources and people to

475
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 3: do the.

476
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: Work and things like that.

477
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: I'm not sure how they're going to fix it, or

478
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 3: if they're able to fix it the way that they

479
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: fixed it following the eight season, when they had to

480
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 3: leave the roof open for the entire campaign. Now the

481
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 3: circus was supposed to be in here next week, they're done.

482
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: They canceled the event, so shoul. They have insurance for

483
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: that and things like that, but it's too bad the

484
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: circus and kids and tickets and all that. But I'm

485
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: wondering how that is going to affect Texans games, especially early,

486
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: because once you get through the preseason games, all right,

487
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 3: you're playing a night game week two, you're on the

488
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 3: road week three, and then what do you back to

489
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: back at home? I think, but it hardly cools off

490
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 3: to sixty five degrees and beautiful in early October, So

491
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 3: we'll see how it all goes. I am not sure

492
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 3: how they're going to handle it. I don't know if

493
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: they know how they're going to handle it, because there

494
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: are other priorities in the city right now. But that

495
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: is worth watching to see how it affects Texans games.

496
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if the roof has got to be open

497
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: for a noon preseason game, I don't.

498
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 3: I wonder, like I look at it now, or look

499
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 3: at the videos and photos that we've seen, the aerial

500
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 3: shots from the news media, and I'm thinking, could you

501
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 3: just leave it like that? Run the ac? I know

502
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 3: you're leaking ac like crazy and you're running up the

503
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: electric I don't know. It's easy for me to say

504
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: themist you're okay, turn it out to seventy three instead

505
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: of seventy one or whatever you normally have it. And

506
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, there's a little dial somewhere, you know, Hey,

507
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 3: who'll mess with the thermist?

508
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 7: That?

509
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 5: No?

510
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: That does Well, here's the other thing too, just given

511
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: the damage.

512
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: And I don't know the full construction of it, but

513
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 2: I mean there are there are you know, open area,

514
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 2: like can you can you close the roof because of

515
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know the roof is closed

516
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 2: right now? What do you so you know, I mean

517
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 2: open the room? Can you open it without having issues?

518
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 4: I don't know.

519
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's a great question. I don't know.

520
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: So it's gonna yeh, You're right, that is definitely gonna be.

521
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: It's a story worth watching, no doubt. You know you're

522
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 3: going to be hearing a bunch about that as we

523
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 3: get closer. There's a Zach Bryan concert as well, July

524
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 3: twenty ninth. I don't know what they're gonna do about

525
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: that either, So I'm sure we're going to hear about

526
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: that soon. So the circus I think needs total darkness, yeah,

527
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: to function, and they have day shows, so I think

528
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 3: that along with the safety.

529
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: What have you got? Well, think about it.

530
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: Think about a playoff game that we have here, and

531
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 2: the shadows that are created and they're doing the trapees

532
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: swinging and all of a sudden, you're going from one

533
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: dark day. You know, it's like trying to hit a

534
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: ring we field with the shadows going to grab the bar.

535
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: But I saw a shotow it. Uh yeah.

536
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 2: Luckily in Las Vegas, Ellegia Stadium is covered and it

537
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 2: was nice and cool for me to catch up with

538
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,040

00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 4: How cool was that?

625
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: And I gotta ask, how was it for Coach Prime

626
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: to sit next to you?

627
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 7: Okay, so a lot of it is a blur because

628
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 7: we're doing this after it just happened. And I literally

629
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 7: talked to fifteen of the sixteen coaches. I talked literally

630
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 7: to probably forty or fifty players from the sixteen schools.

631
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 5: So it was fascinating to learn these stories.

632
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 7: I mean, bear in mind, you guys along with in Houston,

633
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 7: along with UCF and Cincinnati and BYU were new last year,

634
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 7: and now you got four more in Colorado, Utah, Arizona,

635
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 7: Arizona State. There are new that's eight new teams in

636
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 7: the league in two years. So this is a lot

637
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 7: to get used to for everybody. So I found it fascinating.

638
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 7: And you mentioned Coach Prime in Colorado. They were very

639
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 7: end of day two here that they came to us,

640
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 7: and I found him fascinating. He was engaging, He understands

641
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 7: there are a lot of eyes on them, there are

642
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 7: a lot of arrows pointed at them. He continues to

643
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 7: repeat that the change that they have made in roster

644
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 7: in coordinators will benefit them. I see the look on

645
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 7: your face, and we've already been talking about this.

646
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 5: The proof in that is are.

647
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 7: They going to be any better on the field, because

648
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 7: if they're not, there are all kinds of people that

649
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 7: are going to come out of the caves and the

650
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 7: weeds and everywhere else after them because of the notoriety

651
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 7: and the attention that a lot of people believe at

652
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 7: this point some I won't say a lot believe isn't

653
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 7: warranted for having a one to.

654
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 5: Eight finish to last season.

655
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 7: So we'll find out if their new roster, their new

656
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 7: coordinators make something different. But I thought, here, I don't

657
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 7: know what your impression was. I thought Dion coach Prime

658
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 7: was saying a lot of the right things about trying

659
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 7: to be different or better this year.

660
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: I think so on I think he's got a lot

661
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: of connections to this conference.

662
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: He started his press conference talking about Joey Maguire, who

663
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: coached his son in high school, and talk about Gus

664
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: Malzan who recruited Shador, And I mean, he talked about

665
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: a number of coaches and he's like, those are just

666
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: ones I can come up at the top of my head.

667
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he's compelling.

668
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: When he went up there to speak, he was the

669
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: first coach to speak at the start of day two

670
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: at the big podium, everybody was over there.

671
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 7: I can verify for having been here yesterday because I

672
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 7: don't think you were here yesterday when most of those

673
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 7: coaches were talking.

674
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 5: There were some that were in there.

675
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 7: And to your point, when they introduced him, there were dozens,

676
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 7: three or four dozens that walked to that area to

677
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 7: be engaged to hear what he has to say. But now, ultimately,

678
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 7: this is what we do. This is the fun we have.

679
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 7: What does that mean come September, October, November on, are

680
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 7: they going to be any better? Sure you can win

681
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 7: Prescot Conference is sure, you win the social media, the impressions,

682
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 7: the likes, whatever. But if you don't win the football games,

683
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 7: this stuff isn't gonna last much longer.

684
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 5: The hype, the hype, it doesn't last much longer.

685
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's talk about our two main jobs. Last year,

686
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: at this time, both and I were to sit down,

687
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: You and I were to sit down and talk and said, Okay,

688
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 2: how's your team going to be in twenty three, it would.

689
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: Have been I don't know. You got a rookie quarterback.

690
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: You've got Baker Mayfield.

691
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 5: I don't know.

692
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

693
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: Then we sat there and met in week nine in

694
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: one of the games of the year, which was absolutely incredible.

695
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 7: Will remind me again about CJ. Stroud for the win

696
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 7: in the final twenty seconds. I think I got over

697
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 7: that about fifteen minutes ago.

698
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: I listen, is still a game for you.

699
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 5: It was a good postgame show for you. Try being

700
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 5: me after that game.

701
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: Okay, but I think you found a lot out about

702
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield that game because I was down in the

703
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: end zone on that throat to and at the end

704
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 2: of the game. That's as good as throw as that

705
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: was made all day long, as CG made some incredible ones.

706
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: You guys bounce back from that end up getting to

707
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: the playoffs. What was it that run like through that game?

708
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: But then getting back to the playoffs in twelve?

709
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 5: They showed something after that.

710
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 7: You're absolutely right, because they could have folded down the

711
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 7: stretch of the season and a lot of people's belief

712
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 7: was this is a two, three, maybe four win team.

713
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 7: Now this is maybe easy to say for your audience

714
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 7: in Houston. I was proclaiming from the mountaintop that is bs.

715
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 7: There are too many talented players, too much will to

716
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 7: win for this to be a three or four win situation.

717
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 7: Maybe it's not going to be a nine to ten

718
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 7: or eleven win situation, but it's not going to be

719
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 7: three or four wins. And lo and Behold, go to

720
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 7: Atlanta and win in the final seconds on another mayfield

721
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 7: touchdown to kay Dot and go to.

722
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 5: Green Bay and win in December.

723
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 7: Franchise in their history had never won in December in

724
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 7: like fifteen tries at Lambo, including the playoffs. Won a

725
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 7: game in December and then won the division in a

726
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 7: game that was ugly field goal fest, a low scoring game,

727
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 7: got in the playoffs and won a playoff game against

728
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 7: the Eagles, where anything can happen in the postseason after

729
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 7: many people believe the season was going to be over

730
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 7: by Halloween. So the interesting thing is now come around

731
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 7: to this year. It starts anew, It starts zero zero

732
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 7: in the win loss column. And what does last year

733
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 7: ultimately mean? What do you build on We don't know that,

734
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 7: but there will be much more expectation. There are many

735
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 7: people that believe the Bucks will be better this year,

736
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 7: just like the Texans. Texans make the playoffs, so you're

737
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 7: there's higher expectation this year. You're not somebody that's an afterthought.

738
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that.

739
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield comes back, Mike Evans returns, and there was

740
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: a lot of talk Mike being from Galveston.

741
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talk the Texans.

742
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: Going out and getting Mic and putting him with Tank

743
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 2: and with Nico, and then the Bucks snapped him back,

744
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: snatched him back for two years. What are their additions

745
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 2: the Bucks made? How'd you like to draft? What do

746
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: you think about the Bucks in twenty four?

747
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 7: So the first thing is they had a tremendous free

748
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 7: agency by keeping the guys you just mentioned Mayfield and Evans,

749
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 7: and I will add Anchwan Winfield, the.

750
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: Final man the Woodlands. Yes, we wanted him to.

751
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 7: And so those three guys re sign and general manager

752
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 7: Jason Light is like, we had a tremendous free agency

753
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 7: class and we didn't leave the eight one to three

754
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 7: area code to keep.

755
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 5: Those guys in Tampa Bay.

756
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 7: And so now you couple that with a draft and we're,

757
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 7: you know, we're very intrigued to see what's going to

758
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 7: unfold out of these draft classes. Because we've talked about Kadott,

759
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 7: and we've mentioned Rashad White, the running back out of

760
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 7: a mid round draft selection. Yai YadA Vi, a pass rusher,

761
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 7: has been tremendous out.

762
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 5: Of the mid rounds.

763
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 7: And so this team goes and gets a big offensive

764
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 7: lineman in Graham Barton, a road grater as an interior

765
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 7: offensive lineman out of Duke. They go in the second

766
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 7: round and get a pass rusher from Alabama. Have we

767
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 7: heard of Nick Saban having guys drafted in the first

768
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 7: and second round? My god, it's literally over fifty five

769
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 7: players drafted under Nick Saban in the first or second round.

770
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 7: So Chris braswell as the pass rusher. So you've added

771
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 7: some components. I love the little speedy back Bucky err

772
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 7: out of Oregon. This dude small Warwick Dunn reminder, little

773
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 7: scat back, speed guy, catch the ball out.

774
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 5: Of the backfield.

775
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 7: So you've you've got some components out of this draft

776
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,959
Speaker 7: that I think we're eager to see, even in guys

777
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 7: that you took in some later rounds of the draft

778
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 7: that can maybe help this team.

779
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 4: TJ.

780
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,160

Speaker 2: for Tune In this past week at Media.

807
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: Days, all Right closed up on a Friday. I thought

808
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: we'd had some fun Drew Doerty and I did it.

809
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 2: End the LAB episode that really had some people talking

810
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 2: about the concept of adding former Houston professional players to

811
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 2: this twenty twenty.

812
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: Four a roster.

813
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: Look, this roster is much different than it has been.

814
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: But we've been doing this project, if you will, for

815
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: a while. So we had each come up with two

816
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: players that we would add onto this current roster.

817
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: I think you'll like them, So let's play an nextra

818
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: here in textuntil Access.

819
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 2: We were one final segment of this Friday edition that

820
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 2: Texas All Access coming at you. I'm John Harris for

821
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: Silent Reporter, one half of the end of Lab podcast.

822
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: The other half, well my better half podcast wise Drew Doherty.

823
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 2: We sat down and we came up with two each,

824
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 2: four total players that played Houston professional football that we

825
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: would put on this roster.

826
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 8: Let's go twenty twenty four Texans of pretty Salty. We're

827
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 8: excited about them, are they No? Have they won any

828
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 8: games yet?

829
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 5: No?

830
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 8: But as they're constructed right now in June. Who from

831
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 8: a professional Houston football team? Who is retired? So no

832
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 8: current players or no players that work in Houston that

833
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 8: are ping ponging around the the league. A retired Houston

834
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 8: professional football players, So it could be a gambler, it

835
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 8: could be an oiler, could be a former Texan which

836
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 8: to former Houston professionals, would you want.

837
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 4: To add to this team? I get to go first.

838
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 4: I'm taking a royal Campbell busted.

839
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 5: Ooh oh oh wow.

840
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: Didn't even give me a.

841
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 4: Chance to bring chance.

842
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 8: You gotta and I'm putting you on the defensive here,

843
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 8: but it's obvious to me. Hey, Joe Mixon, you're you're

844
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 8: really good back and there are intriguing things ahead for you.

845
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,959
Speaker 8: Damian Pierce, same deal. How about you you are, Jordan

846
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 8: how about you Daria Goal?

847
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, all of you. You're not getting kicked off the island.

848
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 8: You're merely adding maybe the greatest professional football player in

849
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 8: the history of Houstons First.

850
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 4: One of the first.

851
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 8: Plays that Earl Campbell ever had. It was at Atlanta

852
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 8: and he takes a pass and what goes eighty yards

853
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 8: for a touchdown.

854
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 4: Yep, that's pretty cool. It's on YouTube. Check that out.

855
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 4: But give me Earl.

856
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 8: Campbell in this offense. Earl Campbell would look pretty darn

857
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 8: nice with CJ and Stefan and Nico.

858
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 5: So here we go.

859
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: It's a friend of ours. If I were to ask

860
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: you just point blank, Drew a friend of ours, a

861
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: friend of ours.

862
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 2: Like the biggest gap or biggest hole that this team

863
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: has offensively, just right off the bat, what is it?

864
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 4: Biggest hole offensively, the.

865
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: Biggest question mark that were just unsure.

866
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,959
Speaker 4: About, maybe left guard.

867
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: That's exactly right, and that's why I am going with

868
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: our buddy Wade Smith number one. Now, again, there are

869
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 2: changes by eras throughout eras and how you do things.

870
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: This offense is very similar.

871
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 2: But one of the things that you cannot do that

872
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 2: you used to be able to do, and actually Wade

873
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 2: was very very good at this, was to cut guys

874
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 2: on the backside.

875
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: He was so agile and so good that he could

876
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: just chop guys down in the back end.

877
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 2: And that allowed Arion Foster a lot of cut up

878
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 2: runs back behind his center, back behind Wade. When runs

879
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 2: that would go right, they would come back left behind

880
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 2: what Wade was doing. But there's so much to Wade.

881
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 2: He's very good in his own scheme. I think Wade

882
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 2: is one heck of a leader. I think he'd have

883
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: the absolute right meanor to help Juice Scruggs next to

884
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 2: him to be able to work with Laramie Tunsel. I

885
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: think Wade Smith would fit his own scheme. I think

886
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 2: he would fit this locker room. I would go with

887
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: Wade Smith all day, every day. He jumps right into

888
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 2: the left guard where he was very comfortable, where he

889
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 2: turned into.

890
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: A pro bowler, became a pro bowler while he was here.

891
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 2: With the Texans.

892
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, a little bit undersize, but he never.

893
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: You wouldn't watch a game and go, oh, he's getting

894
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: his butt kicked because he's too small. I mean, Wade

895
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: never got his butt kicked. And he would tell you

896
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: he wasn't as heavy as some other guys. But that

897
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: dude had great technique. He was quick and agile, He

898
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: was a tremendous athlete, and he was a leader in

899
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: the locker room without being this, you know how, my

900
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 2: chest sort of guy. He was just very you know,

901
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 2: he was very quick to pull guys aside and tell

902
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 2: him this is the way we do it. And I

903
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 2: just would I would love his demeanor on this offensive

904
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 2: line and on this offense in general.

905
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: I just I think there are a lot of guys.

906
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen him, They've they've got some fire.

907
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 2: And Wade's got fired, but he just has it and

908
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 2: channels it in a little bit different way. So I'm

909
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 2: going with Wade Smith right off the bat. So we've

910
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 2: had to Earl Campbell and Wade Smith to this offense.

911
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: So my gosh, look out.

912
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 4: Good choice there.

913
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 8: Now, since I was a big jerk and took Earl

914
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 8: Campbell right off the bat, didn't let you, didn't let

915
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 8: you have a say, we'll do We'll do snake in

916
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 8: this one. So you can go again, who else professional

917
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 8: football player from the city or played for a City

918
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 8: of Houston team. Who would you add to this current

919
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 8: twenty four squad?

920
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like there's an obvious answer, and I

921
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 2: don't know if I'm gonna.

922
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 8: I want to obvious matches with my obvious Well, I'm

923
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 8: gonna take ninety nine. Okay, that wasn't the obvious one

924
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 8: that I had, but that is, Yeah, that could always

925
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 8: be a good one.

926
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 2: And I don't need there's a part of me that

927
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 2: doesn't want to doesn't want to say it because maybe

928
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 2: he doesn't stay retired.

929
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

930
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want to kick over that that

Speaker 2: uh that fire ant mound again. Uh, like it got

932

936
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: I really truly want to do that, but but my

937
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 2: my thought process is one like this, when you said, go.

Speaker 4: Ahead, you're going best player, yeah this one.

939
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, my my first thought was, Okay, I'm not

940
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 2: totally sure just yet what this defensive interior on a

941
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 2: three down basis is going to look like. And I

942
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 2: say that, but I think that Fatukasi and Settle are

943
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 2: gonna be better than people think. That's that's that's my assessment.

944
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 2: But I feel like if you were to put JJ

945
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 2: in that group and just let him play the three

946
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 2: technique and let him play in this defense where he

947
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: can just penetrate and get up field, that's what he

948
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 2: did anyways when he was playing inside. Now, I know

949
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 2: there were times JJ was like, I don't I don't

950
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 2: really want to play inside. And I didn't blame him

951
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 2: because there were you know, two two and a half

952
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 2: blockers responsible for him on almost every play, and that's

953
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 2: a that's a pain physically and mentally to kind of

954
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 2: deal with all the time.

955
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: And so he wanted to be on the outside where

956
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 1: he could use his as you call.

957
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 2: It, his jungle cat skills to get one on one

958
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 2: against pastra, to get against offensive tackles or even tight

959
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,919
Speaker 2: ends in some cases. And so I know he didn't

960
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 2: want to play in there permanently, but I think in

961
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: his defense, you know, even with Daniel Hunter and Will Anderson,

962
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 2: you know those two guys actually can go bounce inside

963
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 2: if he need him to. There are a lot of

964
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 2: different combinations that you could you could throw. But imagine

965
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 2: a pass rush that's got Daniel Hunter and Will Anderson

966
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 2: on the outside and Deniico Autry and JJ.

967
00:42:58,520 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: Watt on the inside.

968
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 2: I mean, in all honesty, those are all four guys

969
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 2: that you would say, if they were on four separate teams,

970
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 2: who are you going to double this week? Well, we're

971
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 2: gonna double Will. No, we're gonna double Daniel. No, we're

972
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 2: gonna double Watt, and we're gonna double Autry. You know,

973
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 2: those would be the guys that you'd want to double

974
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 2: or chip on if they're outside, you might, as the

975
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 2: Patriots did against JJ, you would send your running back

976
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 2: not to the outside to help with your tackles, but

977
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 2: wherever JJ.

978
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: Is, that running back is gonna go help. Well, if

979
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: you do that against this pass rush, all of.

980
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: A sudden, here's there's Daniko one on one against the guard,

981
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 2: which he can win with quickness, hands, strength, and then

982
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 2: you've got your two edge guys that can win.

983
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: So I'm not totally sure that I want.

984
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 2: JJ every single play playing inside, but I do feel

985
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 2: like having him give me the opportunity if I if

986
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 2: I get thirty plays out of JJ in a game,

987
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 2: and he's getting some inside you know, he plays across

988
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 2: from Settle on some plays, he plays across from Fat

989
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 2: too Costi on others. You know, maybe there's an opportunity

990
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 2: for he and Khalil Davis to be out there together

991
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 2: together with the guys you have on the outside.

992
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different things you can do with

993
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: JJ because of that flexibility and that versatility.

994
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 2: Is funny because versatility kind of became this word in

995
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 2: the mid twenty tens that people hated hearing because it

996
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 2: oftentimes got stamped on the guys that would line up

997
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 2: at different positions but weren't very good at any of them. Well,

998
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 2: JJ lined up at every position on the defensive line.

999
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 2: He was dominanting all of them.

1000
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 4: And so I'm gonna go with all pro and what

1001
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 4: twelve and fourteen?

1002
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we see all Pro two different positions. Yeah, yeah,

1003
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: I mean it's incredible. So I'm gonna go.

1004
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to ninety nine. And the scary thing

1005
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 2: in some sense is that maybe it happens.

1006
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1007
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 2: I was watching JJ's soccer highlights the other day, Drew

1008
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: and he was playing in some TSD seven on seven

1009
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 2: tournament and it.

1010
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: Was kind of comical. But yet JJ was the best

1011
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: athlete on a feel. He looked amazing.

1012
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 2: I mean, the things he was doing in soccer, diving headers,

1013
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 2: I mean, he just incredible.

1014
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1015
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 2: So you know, if he decides to come back at

1016
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 2: some point and all those guys are healthy, what I

1017
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,959
Speaker 2: just outlined, those four pass rushers being on the field

1018
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 2: would be like a be a dream for Texans fans

1019
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 2: in some respects. All right, you finish it up, but

1020
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 2: your final one.

1021
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,760
Speaker 4: We haven't picked anybody in the secondary.

1022
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 8: And there's a Pro Football Famer who in fourteen years,

1023
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 8: he had sixty takeaways, had twenty one fumble recoveries in

1024
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 8: his career. He had forty nine interceptions in his career.

1025
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 8: In nine of forty nine he took to the house

1026
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 8: for a touchdown. He also took back a fumble recovery

1027
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 8: for score, so he scored ten touchdowns on defense. And

1028
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 8: he also he returned to punt for a score in

1029
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 8: nineteen seventy four. We're talking about Ken Houston now different times, yes,

1030
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 8: but simply for his impact and who he was, his

1031
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 8: playmaking ability, I got to put him back there.

1032
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 4: And no, we're not shoving anybody.

1033
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 8: No Jimmy Ward is getting nobody's getting cut, but he's

1034
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 8: there in the mix with those guys. I'm gonna add

1035
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 8: a Pro Football Hall of Famer to the back end

1036
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 8: of the defense.

1037
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 4: You had a Pro Football Hall of Famer to the

1038
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 4: front end.

1039
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 8: JJ's going in, can't and whenever it's all over, add

1040
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 8: one guy at the very back. He played for the

1041
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 8: Oilers in the sixties and early seventies and then played

1042
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 8: on a very fine Washington squad for a good chunk

1043
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 8: of the nineteen seventies. So gimme Ken Houston and When

1044
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 8: I started here with the Texans in two thousand and nine,

1045
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 8: I saw Ken Houston around the team quite a bit.

1046
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 8: It was a Texans Ambassador. Now it's called the Texans

1047
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 8: Legends Program, and that's an NFL wide thing everyone in

1048
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 8: the NFL. It's mandated by league. If you played for

1049
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 8: a team, you are there. You are a legend for

1050
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 8: that team. If you played in one game, you played

1051
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 8: in one stap for a game, or if you're like

1052
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 8: JJ Watt and you're one of the best in franchise,

1053
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 8: doesn't matter. You're a legend for that team. So he

1054
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 8: was in that Ambassador program, which kind of is the

1055
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 8: precursor of the Legends program that we have now. Saw

1056
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 8: him at a lot of community events, saw him here

1057
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 8: at games, interacted with him. He's a fascinating dude. He's

1058
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 8: one of the best to do it. He did it

1059
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 8: a long time ago. So the further you get away

1060
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 8: from some guy's playing career, the lesson the younger generation

1061
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 8: knows about him.

1062
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 4: But this guy think about it. Sixty takeaways in his career.

1063
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 2: Earl Campbell, Waite, Smith, JJ Watt, Ken Houston, we did

1064
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 2: a great job, and you guys did a great job.

1065
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: For listening.

1066
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 2: We will see you on Monday. Y'all stay safe over

1067
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 2: the weekend. Big thanks everybody to participate on the show,

Speaker 2: Mark Drew. All you guys are listening. We'll see tomorrow

1069
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,400
