Speaker 1: that you and I have been together for the most right,

39
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:13,520

42
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: We'll definitely do that and then we'll go around the league.

43
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: There are some news, a little bit of news about

44
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: the daily testing, NFL and NFLPA coming to an agreement

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: that essentially says, my nostrils will be used daily um

46
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: to test for COVID nineteen all the way through September fifth.

47
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: And you know who absolutely has no problem with that. Me?

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: I have no problem. You can stick swabs up my

49
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: nose from now till the end of time if that's

50
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: if that's what it takes. And the numbers, mark Uh,

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: that doctor Sills put out today saying how many of

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: tests are positive, how many tests have been run? The percentage,

53
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: I think, Mark, you got. I was expecting it to

54
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: be much much higher. I really was. Now we're getting

55
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: into the meat of practice, players are around each other

56
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Friday, they're gonna put the pads on.

57
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: So maybe that's a little focal point for all this

58
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: COVID testing. But Mark, when I saw the numbers well

59
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: less than point or well less than one percent, yeah, man, wow,

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: I was for as for as discouraging as yesterday was

61
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: with all the cloud football stuff that was going on.

62
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: To see those numbers coming out of the NFL throughout

63
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: US three or two teams, that was a lot more encouraging,

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: to say the least. Yeah, it shows me that players

65
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: are being responsible. Look, they're tired too. These are tiring

66
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: days training camp. It's a different kind of camp, like

67
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: we said, but you know, you probably don't feel like

68
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: going out when you get home anyway. And Bill O'Brien

69
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: keeps talking about, Hey, you know, you gotta be responsible

70
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: when you're away from the building. And I think that

71
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: this time of year in particular, it's gonna be let

72
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: me just go home and get my sleep, get my

73
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, get hydrated, and get something to eat, and

74
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: then go back in the morning and do it all again.

75
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: And I know every day is kind of a little

76
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: bit different at this stage, but it sounds like they're

77
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: being responsible for the most part. Less than one percent

78
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: sounds pretty good to me, considering it's not a true bubble. Yeah. Absolutely.

79
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna get to off days and things like that.

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: And I believe there's off day for the Texas today

81
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: if my math is correct. So we'll we'll see when

82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: the off days come in what those bring and obviously,

83
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: what you get into the season, You get into a

84
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: game routine during the season. Now that game routine could

85
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: change based on some of the news with the college

86
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: football stuff that happened, and we'll talk about that because

87
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: I don't know. They say Friday night lights were for

88
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: high school games? Could they be for NFL games? Ye?

89
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Could happened. And you know what, you know what that

90
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: made me think of instantly? This Oh yeah, I don't

121
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,120

125
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll talk about that a little bit later

126
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: in the show. Mark training camp has been going on,

127
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: but we're gonna have an opportunity to put our eyes

128
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: on it on on Friday. And you and I have

129
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: talked about this, and we kind of joked about some

130
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: of the things that you know, when I put in

131
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: my when I put in my top five the other day,

132
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: the things that I'd like to watch at training camp,

133
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: and these are the things that I'll be watching once

134
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: I get into training camp, and I think it's gonna

135
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: be sort of intoxicating. I'm gonna have to be very

136
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: discipline myself as I watched practice and not just watch Deshaun,

137
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: because that's what I memoies are just gonna They're just

138
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: gonna gravitate towards Deshaun. I think that's the power and

139
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: the pull of Deshaun Watson for the Texans, for all

140
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: of us. I mean, we all want to see what

141
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: he is going to do. So I know me, I've

142
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: got to be very I gotta be disciplined that I

143
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: can't just all of a sudden just kind of sneak

144
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: a peek and go, okay, okay, I gotta see this.

145
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: I gotta see this instead of watching some old line play,

146
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: watching some guys down in the trenches, some of those

147
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: things that we don't normally get to see. But as

148
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: you put your eyes on training camp, Mark, what are

149
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: the things right off the bat that you're gonna want

150
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: to see from this team, especially as they go into pads. Well,

151
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: I think the receivers are the first thing I'm gonna

152
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: be looking at, right the receiver. I know, pads and

153
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: you want to look at playing the trenches and everything.

154
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: But you know, Johnny, I can tell when somebody you

155
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: know blows a blocking assignment or whatever, but I'm not.

156
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: You know, that's not my thing. That's even even the

157
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: one on one pass rush drills. I do watch those sometimes,

158
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: but to me, I always think it's different when you

159
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: get into a game situation. I do like watching some

160
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: of the individual battles, but I think, like for me,

161
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: it's the seven on seven, it's any kind of coverage

162
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: receiver versus dB manoamanos off or when they go eleven

163
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: on eleven. I want to see what these receivers do,

164
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: particularly this year, these receivers, what they do, what that

165
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: passing game looks like. And in pads we all know,

166
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you see the team out of pads

167
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Ota style, especially seven on seven. I mean Andre once

168
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: joked like, your completion percentage should be about one hundred

169
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: percent of some seven. Yeah, but when you see them

170
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: in pads, you realize it's much harder to complete a

171
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: pass right now, you know. And sometimes when when you

172
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: see it checkdown in training camp, you're like, uh, because

173
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: you want to see the exciting stuff. But they need

174
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: to get good at checking down. They need to get

175
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: good at short passes, bailout passes, they need to be

176
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: proficient at the little things, the pocket changes, you'd like

177
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: to say, because in the games those are even more difficult.

178
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: But that's one thing that always jumps out to me,

179
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: how much tougher it is to execute offense, especially this

180
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: time of year when you jump into pads, because defense

181
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: is always ahead of the offense. It should be. If

182
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: it's not, you might have some trouble. And I want

183
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: to see what they do and then you know, I'll

184
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: be get at the backs. But to me, the line

185
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: the holes that they'll be opening. Whatever they are, it's

186
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: not gonna be as impressive or as telling, I should say,

187
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: as what you're gonna see on opening night. I mean,

188
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: there's no chance. And you know that's why not having

189
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: preseason games it kind of stinks this way, because you'll

190
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: want it to see at least some pop in some

191
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: pads popping with other teams, just to get a taste

192
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: of what you might see with the starting of the line.

193
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: But I think you're just gonna have to wait till

194
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: September tenth. I think one of the things that I'll

195
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: be most curious about, and it will he not be

196
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: anything that I will say on the radio, b will

197
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: write Inharris hits at all. But I'm always curious of

198
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: the combinations of personnel and what I mean by that.

199
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: You know, teams will say, hey, twelve personnel, twelve personnel,

200
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: and what that I'll mean twelve means one running back

201
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: to tight ends, which obviously at that point leaves you

202
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: two receivers. But there are a lot of different variations

203
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: of twelve personnel of eleven personnel. When you go eleven

204
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: personnel and you have three receivers, do you have two

205
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: slot guys like, do you have QT and Cobb together

206
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: with Fuller? Do you have Qt and Cobb together with

207
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: with Kenny Stills? Do you have Fuller? And do you

208
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: have no slot receiver? Do you just have big guys?

209
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: Do you have a tight end in that role of

210
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: what will be a wide receiver? Now you probably would

211
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: call that twelve personnel, but maybe they call it, you know, uh,

212
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: maybe they call it a different name. But I like

213
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: to see the combinations of what they're doing. Are they

214
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: using Duke and David together and using that and practicing that?

215
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Are they gonna are they gonna do something like that?

216
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: Are they gonna show that in practice? Because they didn't

217
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: a lot of times. But I just like to see

218
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: the combinations of what they put together, because then my

219
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: mind races with, Okay, they have out there right now,

220
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: they have Cobb in the slot, they have Fuller out wide,

221
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: and they've gone with two tight ends, and so they're

222
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: in some formation where they've got they've got Randall and

223
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: Fuller and maybe they've got Jordan Thomas and Aikins or

224
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: they've got Fells and Thomas. I just like to know

225
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: what the combinations are that they're putting out there with

226
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: the personal and it goes for defense as well. It

227
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: goes for the defense as well. Trying to and this

228
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: is one thing I know a lot of people are like,

229
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: what are you gonna building? You know all they're doing,

230
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: And I said, I never talked to the coaching staff about,

231
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, the personnel they have in or what scheme

232
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: they're running. I have never never gone to Bill O'Brien

233
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: and said, Okay, well what are you doing? You know,

234
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: what's this play called? What's this? I never have tried

235
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: to pick his brain that way, because if I ever

236
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: talk about what I've seen, I don't want him to think, oh,

237
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: you just took what I gave you and then went

238
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: on the air with it, and that's not the case.

239
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: I like to just try and figure it out myself.

240
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: So when they go big nickel or what are the trends?

241
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: I know. One of the things that I was kind

242
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: of following on Twitter this summer was some NFL teams

243
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: taking a look at what I was State was doing

244
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: with defense, playing not big nickel, but playing three deep safeties,

245
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: and some NFL teams saying, look this this might be

246
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: a way that we can help stop some of the

247
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: more spread out, uh, you know defenses or spread offenses,

248
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: because we'll have three safeties on the field, play three

249
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: deep safeties, not just two deep safeties and on a

250
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: lot of safety down by the box, we're gonna how

251
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: many deep safeties? How many dbs in that? For me? Well, yeah, exactly,

252
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: that's not my point. Do you play three safeties in

253
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: three corners, you're like like dime, Like dime could be

254
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: Nickel could be Nickel could be just two your two

255
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: outside corners playing different types of coverages with the three

256
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: deep safeties, and then you've got different responsibilities. And it

257
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: was just a it's just a trend. So my point is,

258
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: what are some of the trends that we're seeing that

259
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: might be a little different from you know, Anthony doing

260
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: it different than rac did, or some of the different

261
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: things that they're putting in or using using players or

262
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: utilizing players to do different things that oh, that's a

263
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: little different, because always do that. I'll I'll like run

264
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: up to you and go, hey, check this out. They're

265
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: doing this with that player like you know that because

266
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't like to talk to anybody at practice other

267
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: basically than you, because you and I will do the

268
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: broadcast together, so we can always kind of touch based

269
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: during games. Hey remember them doing this in training camp

270
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: and those kind of things. But that's the other thing

271
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: I look for, Mark, or some of those things, some

272
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: things that are they're new, some things that are new

273
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: to the scheme, like, hey, wait a second, we haven't

274
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: seen that before. That's that's a little different. Okay, I

275
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: like doing that. And then of course, you know we

276
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: talked about the other day, situational football. That's going to

277
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: be a part of everything they do every every single day.

278
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna do some some measure of situational football, which

279
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: I love and I think some other people love. And

280
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: then I love special teams just because I like to

281
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: see and sometimes watching special teams gives you an idea

282
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: of who may end up on the fifty three man roster.

283
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: So while you check out, go to the bathroom, or

284
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: go on Twitter because you don't like the special teams part,

285
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: it can tell you a lot about what's going on

286
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: with those particular players potentially. Well, I don't mind watching

287
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: who's turn kicks or punts, you know, like I, but Johnny,

288
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: I can almost just see them. Let me see what

289
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: the lineup is, Okay, I got four guys. It's you know,

290
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: it's DeAndre Carter, it's Fuller, it's whoever else. I'm good.

291
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: Now I can go to the bathroom because I don't

292
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: need to see them try to catch a ball and

293
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: then like no one's really punting it. Sometimes they just

294
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: launch it from the jugs machine and like that is

295
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: definitely the time to hit the concession stand at the concert,

296
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that's how I handle

297
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: that part of practice. But you're more dug in, and

298
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: I do like that. Do you have a player you're

299
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: curious about? You know, I have so many I'm curious about.

300
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: I mentioned the receivers, But when we talk about the secondary,

301
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, you and I were hinting on this the

302
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: other day. You know, what is the safety alignment going

303
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: to look like? Is it Murray? Is it a Lotty?

304
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: Is he gonna sneak in there? What kind of role

305
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: if any? Will Michael Thomas have? And a starting even

306
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: sub package? Don't know about that. Want to see how

307
00:15:54,760 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: that works out? And will they make Ross Blacklock earn it? Yeah?

308
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: Will they? You know, what's the starting line? I'm gonna

309
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: be in base defense? Up front? I want to know like,

310
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: like we said the other day, is it you know what,

311
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: Donnie Blackson, Are they gonna go with that? Or is

312
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: it gonna look a little different? Are we gonna get

313
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: some surprises there? And look it just because they would

314
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: do it in practice doesn't mean they're gonna do it

315
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: in a game. And just because somebody might be Deshaun

316
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: Watson once upon a time was on the third team

317
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: right and quickly ascended. So you just don't know how

318
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna play out. But I always like watching who's

319
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: on what unit to see what they think of them

320
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: or see how they want to push them or develop them.

321
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: And I think that stuff's gonna be interesting. The tight ends.

322
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: You know, let's assume all the tight ends are healthy.

323
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: Who's out there getting reps with the ones right off

324
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: the bat? Is it from last year? Are we gonna

325
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: see Aikens and Fells the whole way and make Thomas

326
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: earn it? Or is it gonna be oh my gosh,

327
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: wearing its looks so good catching passes or Thomas? And

328
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: we got to get them in there with these ones

329
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: right away so we can get ready for Opening day

330
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: with them. I mean a lot of questions And look again,

331
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: whatever you see in practice is not a telltale necessarily,

332
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: but you do get to glean some things and have

333
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: fun talking about them. Yeah, I think. I mean, I'm

334
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: with you. I've got plenty of players I'm curious about.

335
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: I think one you just mentioned him. You know, we've

336
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: never seen This is gonna sound weird. We've never seen

337
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: Collie wearing in pads at a Texans practice, at a

338
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: Texans local practice. We saw him in Green Bay. They

339
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: were wearing passay. That was it. That was it. We

340
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: saw him for a couple of days up and Green

341
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: look good. He looked good. I mean, he looked good,

342
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: and he looked good in the OTAs in mini camps

343
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: before he ended up getting an injury which led to

344
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: his time away. But we've never seen him in pads

345
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: here in Houston. Now, listen how he looks in pads

346
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: and Bay looks in Houston. Okay, I get that, but

347
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: we just have not seen him. He's he's such a mystery.

348
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: And I mean, if you think about wearing his background too,

349
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: having been a water polo player, having played basic everything

350
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: but football up until a senior year in high school.

351
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: Then he goes to high school, he gets an opportunity

352
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: to go to San Diego State, he leaves early, has

353
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: had one year eligibility left, he left after three years,

354
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: and then he comes here and he is completely set

355
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: back by the injury and misses the entire year. I mean,

356
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: this is the guy that really has only played about

357
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: three or four years of football. So I'm totally curious

358
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: as to where he is in that development. And now

359
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: he's at a stage where, Okay, at San Diego State

360
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: college football, they'll stick around for you if you are

361
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: a big time athlete, which he was and he was

362
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: health at San Diego State, but they'll stick around, they'll

363
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: wait for you because they colleges are gonna you know,

364
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: they need as many big time athletes on the field

365
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: as possible here. If it didn't come around quickly, time

366
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: to move on. And I think we've seen that definitely,

367
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean throughout the organization's history, but definitely since Bill

368
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: O'Brien's been here. You know, you might be at third

369
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: round pick, you may have been a third round pick

370
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: at some point, but if you're not producing and it

371
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: just doesn't look like it's happening for you, we're moving on.

372
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Lewis Nicks found it out. You know, Braxton

373
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Miller found out after a couple of years. I mean,

374
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: these guys find it out fairly quickly that it doesn't

375
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: matter if you were a third, second, third, fourth round pick.

376
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: You're not getting it done right away. Well, okay, we've

377
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: got to move on. We don't have time to continue

378
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: to allow you to really, you know, grow And Look,

379
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: the injury was unfortunate because I do think had he

380
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: been healthy, boy, it would have been very interesting with

381
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: the tight ends last year and how that injury changed

382
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: things for Darren Felds, how it changed it for Aikens, etc.

383
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: So I'm curious about Kalli wearing and seeing what he's

384
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: what he's able to do. And I know that in

385
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen in Kansas City, the Kansas City Chiefs fans

386
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: are saying out about Travis Kelsey. They're like, are we

387
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: gonna see this guy? He was banged up at Cincinnati,

388
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: came here, he only showed up in one game and

389
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: then was gone for the rest of the year. What

390
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: do we Kelsey's been around the league, maybe the second,

391
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: maybe the first, depending how you look at it. Maybe

392
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: the best tight in the league's second best. He's in

393
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: the team picture for one of the top two tight ends.

394
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: We can only hope Collie Wearing could get to that point.

395
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this that was interesting today because I

396
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: went to go uh to my spine doctor to have

397
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: him look at my spine, and the nurse practitioner came

398
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: in and when I had to give her all my

399
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: information about where to send things and all that, and

400
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: I mentioned that, you know, I worked for the Texans,

401
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: and then she goes, I just want to have good

402
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: tight end. I was like, we have we have good

403
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: tight ends, and she goes, I want a really good one.

404
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: I was like, well, we have good tight ends. Yeah,

405
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna have good sight ends. We're gonna we're gonna

406
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: be okay with that, with that, with that group, is

407
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: there a Kittle? Is there a Kelsey? Uh? I don't know.

408
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't imagine so. But you have guys

409
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: that you can rely on to do a number of

410
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: different things with absolutely. But Collie Wearing, I think, to me,

411
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: is the He's the intriguing one because man, and what

412
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: I saw at San Diego State, I remember thinking, if

413
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: you forecast that forward a couple of years, this guy's

414
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: gonna be a He's gonna be a player, and I

415
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: still think that, and I hope that he's completely and

416
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: fully healthy can go out there and show everybody what

417
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: he absolutely can do. Okay, it is a what you

Speaker 1: training camp addition fire, Okay, you're ready. Ye. Now, as

519
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: I look at what I have for you, I think

520
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: a couple of these are just sort of self serving

521
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: because I wasn't here for a couple of these, So

522
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm very curious your thoughts on a couple of these.

523
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: And I was here for a couple of the others,

524
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: and I do want to go through one I just

525
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: read about, which I think is is kind of interesting. Okay,

526
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: but I want I want to start here. Last night

527
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: was the initial inaugural episode of the LA season of

528
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks, Right Mark, It was tremendous. It was absolutely tremendous.

529
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: I was. It was a lot of COVID stuff. It

530
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: was showing the chargers and rams tested. I mean, it

531
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: was a lot of it was hard. I mean, it

532
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: was hardly any football stuff and it really but it

533
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: started off aunt Anthon Land talking to his guys on

534
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: zoom and I mean it was just a really I mean,

535
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: it was so straightforward and it was like, man, I

536
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: want to throw a wall for that guy. Holy smoke.

537
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: So Hard Knocks is sort of a theme for this

538
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: one because Hard Knox was here in Houston twenty fifteen,

539
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: and there was a particular moment in twenty fifteen, and

540
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: there were a lot of moments from Hard Knocks. One

541
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: of our favorites was Jonathan Joseph on episode one saying

542
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: get the bleep out of Richmond when it was pouring

543
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: down raining. We had just gone through three massive fights

544
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: with the Washington football team. I caught myself. But there

545
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: was one moment to me that I remember, and I

546
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: was standing front and center for it. They were working

547
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: at goal line drill. Mark, what you remember when Bill

548
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: O'Brien called out JJ Watt to get back on the

549
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: field for a goal line play against the offense and

550
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: then what went and hammered Alfred Blue and forced to fumble.

551
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: What you remember when in there, get in there, it

552
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: goes in was that? You know, It's funny because sometimes

553
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: when I call games, I remember the game and I

554
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: don't remember, like in my memory recording, it's what I

555
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: saw on TV instead of what I actually saw in

556
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: the booth. You know what I mean, because I've seen

557
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: the replay so many times. I'm down there at field level,

558
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm seeing an NFL Films replay in my memory as

559
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: opposed to what I called play by play, which was

560
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: a billion feet away with binoculars, right, And that's one

561
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: of them because I was there, You were there, and

562
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: we saw it. But seeing it fleshed out on Hard

563
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: Knocks because everybody's miked up was a real different deal.

564
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: You know, that was kind of cool to be able

565
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: to see Bill O'Brien say that Watt and here Wat's commentary.

566
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: What makes the big play? I mean, it was awesome,

567
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: it really was. I mean And what that hard knocks?

568
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: I mean that you know, when is he not doing this?

569
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: But remember Atlanta? They visited he and he blew them

570
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: up and it was just a glorious preseason to have

571
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: hard knocks around. Now, we were a little jelly because

572
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,239
Speaker 1: they get to go everywhere, and they got to go

573
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: places no one else had ever been, meeting rooms, micing

574
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: them up, and I think I told the story about

575
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: Michigantrol and it's where our current digital studio is. But

576
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: it was it was so cool to have them around. Really,

577
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: I remember I had I think I had a ringside

578
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: seed for it. I think I was standing it right

579
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: at the ten yard line and I just hear Bill say,

580
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: Coach O'Brien say, give me what I want? What in there?

581
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: And so he puts his helmet back on and then

582
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: at he makes the hit. I mean the place went,

583
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: it went apoplectic. Yeah, I mean it was training. I

584
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: mean that's when you ask fans, hey, look, you're going

585
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: to training camp practice. And I hate that the fans

586
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: won't be there for training camp because they do add

587
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: such a different flavor to the whole thing. But you

588
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: ask fans, hey, what do you what do you want

589
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: to see, especially going into twenty fifteen, what do you

590
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: want to see? Well, you know, I'd like to get

591
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: some autographs and I would like to see some catches.

592
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: But honestly, I want to just, um, I want to

593
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: see J. J. Watt do something. I want to see that,

594
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, that's our guy. We want to see. And

595
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: he put it on display and then I just remember

596
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: him popping up and he was like, that's why you

597
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: called me out, that's why you call him. You could

598
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: just tell he was so charged up by Bill O'Brien

599
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: asking for him that he then goes in and makes

600
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: that stop and forces a fumble, and I was like, wow,

601
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: all right, so I have it here on YouTube. You

602
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: think there are any expletives in here? Like, can we

603
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,400

00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: so fun. That's why they put me in there. That's

612
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: why they put me in there. And now here he come.

613
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: That's why the game all right, that's it. That's the better.

614
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: It just charges me up because I just remember standing

615
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: here come my arms fold, and I was like, damn,

616
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: I was so like I wanted to just run on

617
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: the field and hug him. Um, but I realized that

618
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: was probably not gonna be a good thing, but good idea.

619
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: And you know, now I cut the scene right there

620
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: and I see Brian Hoyer going running out onto the

621
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: field to be on offense, and oh darn it. Okay,

622
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: let's go to number two. Let's go to number two.

623
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: What's you remember when you saw Mario Williams and training

624
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: camp for the first time. Well, he's one of those guys.

625
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: Certain athletes have done this to me, like they give

626
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: an impression of them physically, like oh my gosh, like

627
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: the guy just just jumps, you know, into your eyeballs

628
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: because he's so he's such a physical specimen. So Mario

629
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: Williams was one of those guys. Sean Taylor as a

630
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: true freshman at the University of Miami, we were like, huh, like,

631
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: he come on, that guy's not a true freshman. That

632
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: guy's ridiculous. Look at him. Andrey Johnson as a true freshman,

633
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: ridic kill this. You know. I remember, look, I remember

634
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: seeing Adrian Peterson on TV, and I thought he'd looked ridiculous.

635
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: You know, some guys just look ridiculous, and Mario Williams

636
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: was one of them. When you saw him up close,

637
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: he thought, is that even legal? The way he looks,

638
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, is that even fair? Um shouldn't he? You know?

639
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: And when when you see a physique like that, you're like, well,

640
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: Kenny just destroy everybody on every play. But it just

641
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: doesn't work like that clearly. So that was the memory,

642
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: and it was, you know, slow going. Remember the first

643
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: year he had plantar faschitis, he didn't have that many sacks.

644
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: I think it was four or five or something. But

645
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: the second year, oh seven, he really got rolling at

646
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: double digits and started to become the Mario that we liked.

647
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: I remember seeing him for the first time in oh seven.

648
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: I'd seen him in NC State. I wouldn't watch the game.

649
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: And actually oh five is last year ANC State when

650
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: they played Miami. Actually, hey, say, I discovered him, say

651
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: on NCY State. I knew that he was gonna be

652
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: great now, but went picking the draft, see up and

653
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: rally now, I was not down on the field, so

654
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: I could just see him from from the stands level

655
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: second levels still at that point, My goodness. He is

656
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: a physical freak. But I remember introducing myself to him

657
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: at oh seven and I just went, oh, my god,

658
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: this guy's normous. Yeah, I mean, he is absolutely enormous

659
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: and to move as fluidly as he could for a

660
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: guy that size, and really, you know, when JJ came in,

661
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: it was kind of the same thing. They're just this

662
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: long arm six six athletic freakazoids and it was just incredible. Okay,

663
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: As obviously I was not here for Mario the first year,

664
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: so you saw in them and I definitely was not

665
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: here in two thousand and two. Mark, what you remember

666
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: when on the first day of training camp in two

667
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: thousand and two for the inaugural season, the amount of

668
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: media was unbelievable, Johnny. There were cameras. It felt like

669
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: the whole field was surrounded by cameras, and it was

670
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: people coming from all over the state, obviously maybe in

671
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: some cases all over the country, national media. Texans take

672
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: the field training camp for the first time. It was

673
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: really a phenomena. And I wrote about this today that

674
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: during that camp, Sports Illustrated did the big story on

675
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: the Texans and the Cowboys meeting in the first game,

676
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: and they did a shoot with David Carr. They set

677
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: up two ladders and they had photographers and he was

678
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: throwing passes into air into the end zone and I

679
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: was doing something. I don't know why I was out there.

680
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: I was probably getting a piece of equipment or something,

681
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: but I was like, I want to go catch some

682
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: of these because they were out of the view by

683
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: the time the balls were landing on the ground. And

684
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: so I caught a couple of balls, and David's like,

685
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: nice job, you know, and I thought, but I'm thinking

686
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: about this now. I'm thinking and because I just wanted

687
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: to see, like can I catch a you know pass

688
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: from an NFL quarterback? I mean he's slinging it, you know,

689
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: just for the cameras. And then I also wrote about this,

690
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: like young Derek Carr with pre voice change, you know,

691
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 1: will you do games for Ryan youth League team? Talking

692
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: to me? And that's why I have a you know,

693
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: I have a soft spot for Derek Carr because of that,

694
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: because I knew him as a little kid and eventually

695
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: played a year or so for the Clements Rangers and

696
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: went off to Bakersfield. So, um, I remember stuff like that.

697
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: But can you imagine Bill O'Brien if somebody said, oh,

698
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: we want to take your rookie quarterback and do a story.

699
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna put photographers on ladders and I throw fake passes,

700
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: He'd be like, what that's not happening that you can

701
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: happen Forget that number four. Yeah, what you remember when

702
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: you saw the Greenbrier for the first time in twenty seventeen, Well,

703
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: I take it a trip up there with Jay McDevitt,

704
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: our current Senior Director of Digital Media and Broadcasting. So um,

705
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: I had seen it before. Yeah, but what when I

706
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: saw it all dressed up? It wasn't all dressed up

707
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: when I saw it the first time. It was very raw.

708
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: But Disney Harris, who decorates training camp for us, among

709
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 1: many other things, she did a phenomenal job up there.

710
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: I mean it looked like our home away from home.

711
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: It was glory, you know, Johnny was glorious. The mountains.

712
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: You and I were pinching ourselves. We had pullovers, those

713
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: half zip pullovers, and we were taking them off till

714
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: ten thirty eleven. Even we'd leave them on the I

715
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: mean it was fantastic. Don't get me started out of

716
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: the Greenbriar. I'm getting all misty eyed on the Greenbriar.

717
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: I loved it, you know, we talked about it, kicking

718
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: and screaming, going and then you couldn't prize away from there.

719
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: So in twenty eighteen, when we went back and we're like,

720
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: I remember when we left in twenty seventeen, We're like, okay,

721
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: this is too long. Yeah, we are coming back in

722
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Okay, when we come back, we're you know,

723
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: hopefully it's shorter. We're gonna do this, this, this, and this,

724
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: and we changed a lot of things for twenty eighteen.

725
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: We got out of the hotel. We ended up getting

726
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: Airbnb's or vrbos or whatever, and so we stayed in

727
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: different places. And I mean my location, I mean, I'm

728
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: my kids with me for a good majority of it.

729
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: And they still they still ask me. I mean, I'll

730
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: ever forget. When I came home at some point in

731
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: the spring of last year and my daughter is like, well,

732
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: are we going to the Greenbriar game. We're going to

733
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: Green Brown I said. I said, honey, no, we're not.

734
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: We're not going to the group she cried. She was

735
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: so she was desponding. My kids still talk about it.

736
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: It's you know, and we're not even on the resort.

737
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: We were just in Virginia. We're not just staying in

738
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: West Virginia. Well, you know, you and I went to

739
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: the to Slam and Sammy's and did our afternoon, our

740
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: evening show there, and yeah, that was great. It was

741
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: a you know, a little golf restaurant, Sam Sneed's place

742
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: on the on the course, and that was nice. I mean,

743
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: but we really didn't spend much time at all on

744
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: the resort, you know, just to maybe get something or

745
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: have a meeting. But that's it. It was really about

746
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: that facility. And look, at least twenty eighteen, the Texans

747
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: had a winning season, you know, because the Saints didn't

748
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: do well when they were there. The first year the

749
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: Texans were there, they went four and twelve because the

750
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: injury to Watson mostly and all the other injuries. But

751
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: at least in eighteen, the Texans kind of broke that curse.

752
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: So hopefully somebody goes back. I'd love to go back,

753
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: but I know it's great to have camp in Houston

754
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: for the fans, and this year I know it's different,

755
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: but hopefully we can get back to camp in front

756
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: of the fans at some point. Yeah, Sat, the twenty

757
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: eighteen was much better. You get all the way up

758
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: to first preseason game, then you come back and then

759
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: we had the forty nine ers that came to practice

760
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: and that gave the fans something uh definitely look forward to.

761
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,000

Speaker 1: they end up winning the Southwest Conference and it was

916
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: really a surprise. They kind of came out of nowhere

917
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: to win it and running at veer offense. And Bill

918
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: Yeoman was such a respected figure for that. And it's

919
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: so funny because just a few days ago, I was

920
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: kind of doing my you know, YouTube of palooza, and

921
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: I stumbled upon the nineteen eighty This shows you how

922
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: deep YouTube goes. The nineteen eighty Cotton Bowl where Houston

923
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 1: beats no where Houston beats Nebraska. So they had lost

924
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: the year before, and Mike and Lance tell a great

925
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: story that in the year before they played Notre Dame

926
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: and it was the coldest day, I think in the

927
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: history of Dallas. This ice storm hits and so their

928
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: their mom tells them, no, you're not going because you know,

929
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: it's way with way too cold. So the next year,

930
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: because it was so cold the year before and they

931
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: kind of anticipated being the same way, she left him

932
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: at home. It's a gorgeous day and University of Houston

933
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: puts in Terry Elston the second half and I watched

934
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: the entire second half and I'm just watching this and

935
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: I know Houston wins the game, but I'm like, how

936
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: do they do it? And Elston drives them down and

937
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: throws a touchdown and I'm still they show the end

938
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: zone shot. I'm still trying to figure out how he

939
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: threw that ball, and I just remember the camera going

940
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 1: to Bill Yeoman and you know, a Cotton Bowl win.

941
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you think about it now, it's

942
00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: kind of kind of bow win. But back in the

943
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: time time the Southwest Conference winning the Cotton Bowl was

944
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 1: a huge, huge deal. Billy Yeoman was ninety two years

945
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,800
Speaker 1: old and he was Houston football. He was Houston football.

946
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: He created the Vera offense and it was lethal, lethal

947
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: in the seventies on into the eighties. And I remember

948
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: Gerald Landry being from Beaumont Westbrook and man, he ran

949
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: it like a champ. But through my connection with the

950
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: Zero Lines, I was able to kind of watch a

951
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: tony Houston games while Baile coach Yeoman was there and

952
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: he was just he was such a great man. I

953
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: know a lot of people had a lot of great

954
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: things to say about him, but r I p coach

955
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: And on another sad note, a guy that is connected

956
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: to us in some way because we talked about the

957
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: Colts all the time because of the sports hatred we

958
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: have for that place. But I know a lot of

959
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: people had a lot of respect for Howard mud the

960
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: long time offensive line coach for the Indianapolis Colts, and

961
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 1: he was in a he was in a motorcycling accident

962
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,919
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and he unfortunately pass today. So

963
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: the great sky above getting two wonderful coaches and two

964
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: wonderful men, and Bill Yeoman and Howard Mud. So thoughts

965
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: go out to the families, especially to coach Yeoman as well.

966
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: So uh, not that it's easy to segue out of

967
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: that mark, but I know we've got to because I

968
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: want to hear this wild card you have for me.

969
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: What you remember when wenz, we'll do it tomorrow. We're

970
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: out of time, I think, are we out of time? Now?

971
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: We got a couple of minutes. We don't have to go.

972
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, you know what you know? I'm looking at

973
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: my computer here and my computer speeds up. It's speeds

974
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: How does why does a computer speed up? I have

975
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: six fifty six, it's only six to fifty one. All right,

976
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: here's my wild card? You ready, I'm ready? All right.

977
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: So in the early days, of the Texans. There were

978
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 1: joint practices, and I've told stories about this from time

979
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: to time, the Raiders being here and Al Davis on

980
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: a walker but barking at a secondary like hey, light

981
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 1: up over here, you know, like it was just awesome

982
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 1: to see Al Davis here. It was awesome to see. Actually,

983
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't so awesome to see Kubiak and the Broncos

984
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: here at oh five because they just killed the Texans

985
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: in those joint practices and they went out to the

986
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game. The Texas went too and fourteen. That

987
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: was not a good time. I just told the car

988
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: story in the last segment. But here's something that I

989
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: think they should do all the time. Not this year,

990
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: you can't do it. But the Dolphins were here and

991
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: I think it was a four and there was a

992
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: scrimmage at the stadium pre preseason, so a week before

993
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: the start of the preseason games, Dolphins are here for

994
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: joint practices. They opened the stadium for fans and there's

995
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: an actual scrimmage controlled than all that but pads, and

996
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: it was really cool and we did it on the air.

997
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: It was awesome and that would be great to see it.

998
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,879
Speaker 1: I think that would be cool, because you know, you're

999
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 1: going to fewer preseason games anywhere anyway in the new CBA,

1000
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: so that would be a nice adjustment to have some

1001
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: joint practices more of a scrimmage type format, but with thud,

1002
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,240
Speaker 1: not actual tackling, which is what I think the preseason

1003
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: games should go to. Anyway, people will be just as

1004
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 1: entertained in a preseason context. So it was cool to

1005
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: see the Dolphins in Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas. It was

1006
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: those Dolphins, you know, it was the Dolphins that still

1007
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: had some pretty good defensive players from that Jimmy Johnson,

1008
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: Dave wants that era and they were here. So you know,

1009
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: there's so many, so many moments memories I have of

1010
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: early training camp days with the Houston Texans, and that's

1011
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: one of them. My first joint practice situation, and I'll

1012
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: never forget it. It was the Falcons in twenty fourteen.

1013
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: MM that I just they had hard Knocks here and

1014
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: we didn't know had fifteen. That was fourteen fourteen, yes,

1015
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: because we had him in fifteen because hard Knocks was

1016
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: with us. But the Falcons traveled to practice against us

1017
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen and we had just come off the gory,

1018
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: ugly oh loss. You think of every description of a loss,

1019
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: and nothing, oh, there was nothing good came out of it.

1020
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: And I was just like, oh boy, Thomas carved us

1021
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: up and he's and he converted to tight end. He

1022
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: was a quarterback then he was a quarterback. Then my gosh, Mark,

1023
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 1: we do have to cut it there. Excellent job. Tonight

1024
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 1: Tomorrow is Thursday, so that means the General John McClean

1025
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: should be joining us on the eve of our training

1026
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,439
Speaker 1: camp practice visits. And that's gonna be really, really fun.

1027
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,919
