Speaker 2: ask me, you talk, what's going on through the open globe?

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: I don't know.

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I am not that person to

31
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: know that. I would love to if I know it.

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: When I know it, I'll let you know that. Just

33
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: know the game is at noon, so you're gonna have

34
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: to get your tailgate on early or get your tailgate

35
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: on late. Maybe that's the way to do these new games.

36
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: Maybe you get tailgate on later.

37
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: I don't know.

38
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: See what happens, but just be in your seats before twelve,

39
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: and let's have a good time and take on the

40
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: New York Giants, which should be pretty fun.

41
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones should play.

42
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: Willen Neighbors end up getting banged up the other day.

43
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's gonna slow him down or

44
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: keep him from participating this week, so we'll see. But

45
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: good time to at least be at home. Finally, speaking

46
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: of being at home, Ma and Andre from right here

47
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: city if Houston dickets into be exact, what the U

48
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: of h He joined Mark and I this morning.

49
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: We had some good stuff to talk about. Take a listen, Drey.

50
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: That was nice to see a little breadth of fresh

51
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: air through the hot Houston heat.

52
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 4: Yeah it was. I mean, good morning, guys.

53
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 5: Uh. Tank Dell seems like he's a midseason form already

54
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 5: had He also added a twenty two yard punt return,

55
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 5: So I don't know how much they're gonna use him

56
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 5: on special teams in terms of the return game, but

57
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 5: I know he's more than capable of doing the job,

58
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 5: that's for sure.

59
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: Okay, Dre, this is something that we talked about on

60
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: our broadcast in TV. I get nervous with Tank back

61
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: there on punt returns. How do you feel about Tank

62
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: being back there full maybe maybe not even full time,

63
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: but just I don't know, even halftime on punt returns.

64
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that?

65
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: Maybe half the time.

66
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 5: I understand what the caution is, but you're trying to

67
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 5: win games.

68
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 6: He's the best.

69
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 5: If he's the best, better, better player to do that

70
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 5: for you, then you must and or at times at

71
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 5: least because field position in games means everything, and he

72
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 5: can provide.

73
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: He can flip the field for you in a in

74
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 4: the snap of a finger.

75
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 5: So get in that close game or game that really

76
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 5: means a whole lot for the division or just getting

77
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 5: off getting started for the regular season.

78
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: I would death definitely utilize.

79
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: Them there, all right, So CJ played a bit in

80
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: that game. What do you want to see the rest

81
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: of the way? Two preseason games left? You have the

82
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: joint practices next week with the Rams is in one

83
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: or two days, Johnny with the Rams that they have

84
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: scheduled one one day with the Rams and joint practice.

85
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: So what do you think?

86
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: What do you think the.

87
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: Playing times should be for CJ as far as games

88
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: and that joint practice the rest of the way before

89
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: we get to the opener.

90
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: Well, it's kind of working in reverse.

91
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: I would I would utilize you definitely play him in

92
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 5: the UH in the last game against the Rams, not

93
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 5: very much, maybe a series and then that's it. The

94
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 5: game before is when you know, it's usually the dress

95
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 5: rehearsal for the regular season if you're going by the

96
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 5: old ways, And so I think he'll play a significant amount,

97
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 5: maybe the first quarter, maybe into the second quarter, But

98
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 5: that's about it, and that's kind of today's way of

99
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 5: how they how they work the preseason.

100
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 4: You don't see it like the old days, like.

101
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 5: You know, you're playing coming out of halftime in that

102
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 5: third preseason game so that you can get your body

103
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 5: adjusted to having revd it up, go in for halftime,

104
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 5: come back out and restart it. Because those are to me,

105
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 5: those things are important, just getting a game, feeling a

106
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 5: game flow, and then taking it into the regular season.

107
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 5: But I definitely wouldn't play more than a series in

108
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 5: the RAMS game, especially if if they're scrimmaging the Rams

109
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 5: or having those joint practices.

110
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: Dre overall with the quarterbacks.

111
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: CJ gets a few snaps the other night second series

112
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: of Get in the End Zone. Mark gave Davis' numbers

113
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: through the preseason sixty nine percent completion, one touchdown, no interception.

114
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: Just looks more improved day after day after day. Case

115
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: was really good the other night as well. What do

116
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: you thought over all about just all of the quarterbacks

117
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: that you've seen go out and make plays.

118
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 5: I think they've all had good good days, even Tim

119
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 5: Boyle in practices that you know you watch him throw

120
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 5: the ball around and then you're get in games, and

121
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 5: it's it's kind of hard from where he is and

122
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 5: where he's seated to get any type of rhythm because

123
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 5: the offensive line is not gonna be They're gonna be

124
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 5: guys blocking for him. They won't won't even make this team.

125
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,559
Speaker 5: It's even running backs and guys that are playing around.

126
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 5: So it's hard to get a clear picture for of him,

127
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 5: so to speak. But the other three have been outstanding.

128
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 5: Case has delivered the football. He's thrown some nice passes

129
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 5: in some windows during the preseason, moving right down the field,

130
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 5: and so as Davis. Davis Mills has done the same.

131
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 5: So I don't know what the pecking order is. I

132
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 5: know when they last year when CJ had to miss

133
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 5: a game, they went to Case and he delivered. Who

134
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: knows how that shakes itself out with a year more

135
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 5: experience for Davis Mills.

136
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yet they have four quarterbacks in camp and they're

137
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 3: trying to work it out. I'm wondering what they're gonna

138
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: do here, Dre, because Boyle is a part of this

139
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: thing right now. It's hard to imagine Case not being around.

140
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: They have another tough decision there. Obviously, you know who

141
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 3: the starter is, but it's another decision to make. We

142
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 3: talk about the receiver group, the running back group. The

143
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: quarterback group is another one.

144
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, and there are a lot of factors that could

145
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 5: could affect that how that shakes itself out. They feel

146
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 5: like Tim Boyle could be a third. Then someone goes

147
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 5: down in the preseason, and then all of a sudden

148
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 5: there's a demand for a quarterback.

149
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 4: Pe trade Davis Mills, the trade case Keenum.

150
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 5: So all those are going to be factors as we

151
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 5: get closer, nobody goes down, and then.

152
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 4: You know, here we are with four.

153
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 5: I don't know that it looks much different from last year,

154
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 5: to be quite honest, Dre.

155
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: The wide receiver position, Mark and I've been talking about

156
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: and we can't. We're trying to figure this whole thing out.

157
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: And we know the first three. We know, Tank, Nico

158
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: and stuff on the Okay, the first three, all right,

159
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: that's easy.

160
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: Everybody could get those. That's a layup. But the rest of.

161
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: Them become like thirty foot heaves from behind a three

162
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: point line. Trying to figure out which guys are gonna

163
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: end up making it. Which guys have impressed you in

164
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: games the most in practice, In practice, the most that

165
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: you think could be in spots four, five, six if

166
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: they carry six.

167
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 5: Oh boy, that's a good question. Hutch has done an

168
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 5: outstanding job. I think he's at one of the better

169
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 5: camps of anybody, and then he delivers when he gets

170
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: on the field. Sims is another one that you're gonna use.

171
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 5: You can utilize them with special teams in terms of

172
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 5: the return game excuse me and uh and and he's

173
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 5: been consistent offensively when they've decided to go to him

174
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 5: and practice any games outside of that, man, it gets tough.

175
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 5: I don't know if Noah Brown makes it, to be

176
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 5: quite honest, whether they say the best ability is availability

177
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 5: and he hasn't been.

178
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 4: Available, so you can't.

179
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 5: You can't hold a roster spot for a guy that

180
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 5: had drops and being quite honest at times last year

181
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 5: when given a given ten. Now he's made some big blades,

182
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 5: but the consistency is just not there. Like as Xavier Hutchinson,

183
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 5: he is a consistent player down and down out and

184
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 5: then he happens to be younger. So those guys get

185
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 5: the benefit of the doubt when it comes to me

186
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 5: cutting down the roster.

187
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 6: Yeah.

188
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: And Robert Woods, my gosh, he's still good.

189
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: There's another one.

190
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's just a model of consistency.

191
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: He is the consistency that.

192
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 5: You would hope for. And a guy like Noah Brown

193
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 5: who has speed and has size, but.

194
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: He just doesn't. He's just not as consistent as you'd

195
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 4: want him to be.

196
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: All Right, here's one for both of you.

197
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 3: True or false, there's no way, assuming he's healthy, that

198
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: Cam Akers is not on this football team.

199
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 6: Or true.

200
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: True, I think he made He's made it.

201
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 5: He's he delivers something that's a little bit different than

202
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 5: just about everybody else.

203
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: He's got great change of direction. Uh.

204
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: I know he's had two achilles injuries and surgeries, but

205
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 5: he doesn't look like he's missed a beat.

206
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 4: He's healthy. Uh, he's showing it.

207
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 5: He's showing you both, you know, the the ability to block,

208
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 5: catch and run all three uh, you know categories that

209
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 5: you need from a running back. And then he's just

210
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 5: got something about him in terms of making the first

211
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 5: guy miss and uh and turning nothing into something.

212
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 4: Did it a couple of times this past weekend?

213
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 6: Yeah?

214
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I think that's one of the other things

215
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 2: give me a rush. I was talking to somebody about this.

216
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: U A good friend of mine and he mentioned it too.

217
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, when you make a minus two

218
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: yard run or what should be a minus two yard run,

219
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: you turn it into a two yard gain. It's not

220
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: four yards, but it kind of feels like it in

221
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: a sense, And that's kind of what he's done. I

222
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: go back to this, I think if the mantra of

223
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: iron sharpens iron and competition is the competition.

224
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: Like like gives us what it's supposed to.

225
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: Cam Akers is on this football team because you can't

226
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: name you can't name me three running backs that have

227
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: performed better than him in practice and in preseason games.

228
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: You can't. And you just look at what he's given you.

229
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: It's it's just different. And I find that's that's one

230
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: thing I find with his team.

231
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: They're different at positions that they've like traditionally, Like I

232
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: think about the center position traditionally over the Texas and

233
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: then really had a center that could kind of move

234
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: guys out of the way.

235
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: It could tour guys can hold up an anchor.

236
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: They have that with Juice, and they really had a

237
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 2: safety with the range. Ever like Kayln Bullock. Now they

238
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: went out that Yeah.

239
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 4: Exactly, he's playing he's bawling.

240
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dre, your thoughts on Kayln Bullock, if Petre's gonna

241
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: play the nickel now?

242
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: Eric Murray has been back there with Jimmy Warden.

243
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: I think Eric is solid and he's done some really

244
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: good things this preseason. But it's hard to deny number

245
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 2: forty one with what you see back there.

246
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: What are you seeing from the young dude?

247
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, range as you talked about the ability to bring

248
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 5: him in when he gets there, He's.

249
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: Had several splash play.

250
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 5: We've had a couple of splash plays the other night,

251
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 5: and he's not afraid to come up and hitch you. So, uh,

252
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 5: that's what you exactly what they wanted in a safety.

253
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 5: I think they've gotten it with him, and I think

254
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 5: I don't think it's a far reach to say that

255
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 5: he starts at that spot, because you're right, Petrie has

256
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 5: played more nickel in this training camp, in this preseason

257
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 5: than he's played safety. And so when you have a

258
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 5: young guy like that playing and making plays. You know,

259
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 5: that was Petrie a couple of years ago, but it

260
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 5: was also a different system. So that matters not only

261
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 5: for offensive players. Defensive players, you know, tend to struggle

262
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 5: a little bit when there's a system system change, and

263
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 5: Petrie did that last year, which it opened the door

264
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 5: for them to go draft bullet.

265
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 3: All right, So the Colts are up regular season opener

266
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: September eighth. Yesterday they get the doors blown off them

267
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: by the Denver Broncos, just completely obliterate.

268
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: All right, It wasn't that bad. It's a preseason game.

269
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 6: Go crazy.

270
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: But Richardson was two for four for twenty five yards,

271
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 3: and he also went had a yard Carrie whatever, Johnny,

272
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: you saw the game. I didn't see Richardson's appearance. I

273
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 3: picked this one up late. But for both of you guys,

274
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: expectations right now, Anthony Richardson week one, what are we seeing?

275
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: I'll let Johnny go for on this one.

276
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: Here's what I think we're gonna see.

277
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: I think there are gonna be moments in which I'm hungry.

278
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: So I think there will be times where we see

279
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: wagoo beef like holy cow. I think there's gonna be

280
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: times where we see a hot dog like not a

281
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: good one, yeah, not a good one, like wait what so?

282
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: And then when he runs the ball, I think it's

283
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: gonna be kind of hit or missed. Because I think

284
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna.

285
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: Plant the seed. You run, but you get down.

286
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: And so I think that's gonna slow him down a

287
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: little bit because that's gonna be a change of his style,

288
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: because his style is, Hey, I get matched up on

289
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: the linebacker, I'm running that dude over and Will Levis

290
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: has that disease exactly right, and when you're struck with

291
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: that disease. So my point is he's gonna be all

292
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 2: over the dartboard. There's gonna be some beauty like the

293
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 2: game yesterday was a perfect example of that. Early on

294
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: his first throw, his feet are all jacked up. He

295
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: misses a receiver by five yards. Then they run option

296
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: route with Moley Cox. He puts it right an eight

297
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: to one and good play. Next one four man rush,

298
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: he's got a curl route and he throws it to

299
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: the broncos I mean right to him. He drops it,

300
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: but right to him. So those are three of the

301
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 2: four throws. I think the fourth row was just a

302
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: little out route. But I think they're gonna miss Josh downs. Yeah,

303
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: And I think that's really gonna hurt him because those

304
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: are some of the routes he actually throws pretty well

305
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: because he gets his feet set quickly and boom. But

306
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: the longer that he has to hold the football, then

307
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: all of his mechanics start breaking down. And I think

308
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: that's I think that's what we're gonna see. We're gonna

309
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: see some carries that can hurt us, but he's gonna

310
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: try and run over our linebacker one too many times.

311
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: And Dre, I think about this all the time when

312
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: you see NFL defensive players walking on a building, and

313
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: as a quarterback, when you take a hit from that

314
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: guy and then the next play have to go throw

315
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: the football.

316
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it. I don't know

317
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: how you do that.

318
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I hate it running for that reason because then

319
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 5: you're in a predominantly pass offense and you got to

320
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 5: pull it down and run and then come back in

321
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 5: the next play. You know you're throwing a bang eid

322
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 5: or just a nine route which is quick post or

323
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 5: just a fade. It's tough, I mean, or you got

324
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 5: to read something and you're tired, and you like to

325
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 5: play the position calmly.

326
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: As calmly as you possibly.

327
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 5: Can from down to down, and when you when it upset,

328
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 5: when you get upset by having to run it.

329
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: You know, I'd like to follow that up with the

330
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 4: time out, but you can't always do that.

331
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 5: I think you're gonna see a mixed from him in

332
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 5: terms of the Colts sitting him to the edges and

333
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 5: bootlegs and things of that sort. There will be some

334
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 5: design quarterback draw or quarterback runs. Whether it's draw or

335
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 5: whether it's just designed for him to run on fourth

336
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 5: and short or third, third and short.

337
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 4: They're not gonna stop running him.

338
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 5: It's just gonna be, you know, dialed down way more

339
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 5: so at the beginning of the season. ISAA progresses in

340
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 5: the second time we see the coachs, you're gonna.

341
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 4: See the full Anthony Richardson.

342
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 5: I just believe that that after they get passed a

343
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 5: point where they're now no longer afraid of him moving

344
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 5: around and running, they're gonna just unleash them. It won't

345
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 5: be the first week, but they're talented enough where they

346
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 5: don't have to run him a lot. They've got a

347
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 5: solid running game and one of the better young offensive

348
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 5: lines in this league.

349
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: Okay for both of you, guys, because I've gotten to

350
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: the point now in the Steelers game where the guy

351
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: I'm about to ask you makes a really nice play

352
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: the route is tremendous.

353
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: He could do something after the catch.

354
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: The more and more that I see Kate Stover, the

355
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: more excited I get. What are your guys' thoughts about

356
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: Kate Stover and how much he impacts this offense this year. Now,

357
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: we didn't have Brevin in the game the other night

358
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: dinged up. We didn't play in either Hall of Fame

359
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: game or that game, and so you know, obviously Brevan

360
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: can still be there to make play, but Stover's just

361
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: different from everybody else in this team.

362
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: What do you think the impact will be with Stover

363
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: this year?

364
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 5: Rag, I think he's gonna contribute a whole lot. And

365
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 5: he's a dang good run blocker on the edges as well.

366
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 5: He's shown his ability to do that. But in terms

367
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 5: of the receiving game, the hands are there, the understanding

368
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 5: of where to be in zone coverages and sitting it down,

369
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 5: showing your numbers to the quarterback. I think he displays

370
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 5: all of that, and he's he's kind of a security

371
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 5: blanket for the quarterback as well. Third down and medium,

372
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 5: that's where I think you're really gonna see his the

373
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 5: effect of how he plays the game and then after

374
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 5: the catch, he's a willing runner after he gets it

375
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 5: in his hands. So it's been a pleasure to watch

376
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 5: him play and kind of develop in this short period

377
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 5: of time. But I think the future is big for him,

378
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 5: and certainly this year he's.

379
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 4: Going to affect this offense in many many ways.

380
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 5: And now that's with you know, Schultz ahead of him

381
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 5: at tight end and the big three that we talked

382
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 5: about earlier and having to satisfy them a little bit.

383
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 5: So he's gonna have to get his in certain instances

384
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 5: where after the other three or four.

385
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: But I think he's good.

386
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 5: You know, he's somewhere in the thirty five to forty

387
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 5: five range in terms of how many catches.

388
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 6: He'll have this year.

389
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: You know, it's hard to satisfy fantasy football team owners

390
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: because you don't know who to pick on this team.

391
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: You don't know who's gonna be the most consistent as

392
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: far as production for a fantasy team.

393
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 4: Because it's a great problem, isn't it.

394
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: It's a great problem.

395
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 3: You're gonna look at what Dell did the other night

396
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 3: and we just got you know, that's seven to nothing. Whatever,

397
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 3: you keep playing, different things happen. But man, you talk

398
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: about Stover He's not in the five headed monster group

399
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 3: as we define it in the preseason right either as

400
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 3: Xavier Hutchinson, Damian Pierce, cam Akers.

401
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: The list goes on Brev.

402
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 3: But those guys are gonna be heart from Stover. Is

403
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: gonna have games where it's like five catches for seventy

404
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 3: yards and a touchdown, and then the next day he

405
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: might have or the next game he might have one

406
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: or two catches, but it doesn't mean the team didn't

407
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 3: win because other guys are getting the ball. And that's

408
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: a beautiful problem, beautiful issue to have. Bobby Slocan team.

409
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 3: They'll have to figure it out. And Dre, here's one

410
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: for you. In the post game, Davis Mills told Shelby

411
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: Coppage because there was extra time after the game the

412
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: game ended early, she interviewed him.

413
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: He said, yeah.

414
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: Ben McDaniels called the plays tonight. So Demiko, who wants

415
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: to make a point of empowering his assistance, all of

416
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: them and Andy talked about this in the last half hour.

417
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 3: He wants everybody on the team to get to the NFL,

418
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: whether they're on this team or not, as far as

419
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: the players go, and that is a great way to

420
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 3: coach the team. I think he wants all these coaches

421
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 3: to get jobs eventually. He wants everybody to be successful.

422
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: He enabled Ben McDaniels to call the plays the other night.

423
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 5: Well, it's a brilliant move because if Slowick Lee's who's

424
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 5: interviewed for other jobs and he finally lands one, you

425
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: got to have somebody in your desk drawer that you

426
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 5: open it and there's a name at the top of

427
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 5: the list. Oh yeah, he's already on the staff. We'll

428
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 5: just elevate him and then wherever we need to fill in,

429
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 5: we'll go from there. But coaches have to do that,

430
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 5: and you got to know and be able to rely

431
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 5: on a guy in a certain instance that he can

432
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 5: get the job done. And that's a great it's a

433
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 5: great move from a standpoint of if you've got to

434
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 5: go there, then you've already you have a proven play

435
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 5: caller or a guy that's at least worked it through

436
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 5: the preseason and you feel confident that he can do it.

437
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 5: And I had no idea that was taking place the

438
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 5: other night in Pittsburgh, but it gives you a sense

439
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 5: of Okay, this staff knows exactly what they're doing and

440
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 5: they have a plan for everything, and so again it's

441
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 5: a brilliant, brilliant move by Dimko.

442
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Okay, it's get the most important question today because

443
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: what's said, our partner, Tommy Rockets does a pretty good job.

444
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 2: How do we feel about our hunter talking trash? Now,

445
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: I'll say this this, this team has got an edge,

446
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. They've they have definitely got

447
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: an edge. But how do we feel about our punter

448
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: talking trash to a punt returner who doesn't catch a ball?

449
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, he ran up to the melee and started saying stuff.

450
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: He's like, catch the ball.

451
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 5: I'll be all about that. I'll say, is that guy

452
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 5: really never hits.

453
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 4: Anybody, but he can he can be hit.

454
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 5: And so I've seen punters after they've talked noise. I've

455
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 5: seen it curled up at midfield have to talk noise

456
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 5: to some players. So you might want to reel that

457
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 5: in a little bit. Yeah, your job is to put

458
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 5: let us do the noise talk.

459
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: College version of LeVar Arrington called and wants a word

460
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 3: because he used to go after punters and it was

461
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: fun to watch. Actually, drake a couple of college notes here,

462
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: because we've got the Texas Bowl coming up New Year's Eve,

463
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 3: We've got the College Playoff in action. We got the

464
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 3: Koog starting up soon enough as they're going to take

465
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 3: on who you unlv Wow, the Running Rebels here to

466
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 3: start the season opener. Yeah, but I know you are

467
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 3: at ESPN for your annual ESPN Announcers Convention, whatever that is.

468
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: What can you tell the listeners about what that is?

469
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: Because it sounds kind of cool, like I think that

470
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 3: if you can take people inside the wall a little bit,

471
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 3: what is that experience like to be with all the

472
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 3: other ESPN announcers.

473
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 5: Well, it's it's really cool in a good, a great

474
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 5: setting where you get to sit in a seminar.

475
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 4: Type environment and trade ideas.

476
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 5: You listen to what the company want, the message that

477
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 5: they want to get out to the college football world

478
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 5: this season, and so from that standpoint, it's it's outstanding.

479
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 5: Then you get to the breakout meetings where it's just

480
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 5: analysts along with play by play. They all go into

481
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 5: one room and analysts go into a room, producers go

482
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 5: into a room, and you start trading ideas in there,

483
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 5: and that portion of it really is to help younger

484
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 5: announcers kind of get their footing first. Year, guys that

485
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 5: may have had one year, or guys that are coming

486
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 5: in uh to do your do that job for the season.

487
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 5: You're trying to help them out how to basically calm

488
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 5: coaches so that they don't think you're stealing ideas when

489
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 5: you come in for production meetings and things of that sort.

490
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 5: How to just kind of ease into that conversation. It's

491
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 5: it's very beneficial.

492
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 4: Every year. It's you know, it's kind of a reminder

493
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 4: of what.

494
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 5: You need to do, uh to do your job or

495
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 5: with the needs that you have to do your job,

496
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 5: and and it's just a nice reminder.

497
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, very cool. You were used to be starting up

498
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: then at UNV game.

499
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 6: I don't know. That's a tough.

500
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a tough start because that's a tough what

501
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 5: yeah what UNLV did uh last year? But I'll say this,

502
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 5: the year I won the Heisman, we opened the season

503
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 5: against you and LV.

504
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 4: So I'm feeling okay for the coops.

505
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 2: Okay, that leads me to this. So I thought about

506
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: this on Friday.

507
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: Wait, did you think about that thirty fifth anniversary season?

508
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

509
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 5: Oh wow, I didn't think of that, and that that

510
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 5: opener was a sixty nine to nothing win. I remember, Oh,

511
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 5: there was a quarterback, Charles Somebody or other that played

512
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 5: at Yates that had done the UNLB and he was

513
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 5: talking a lot of trash.

514
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 4: Way he got back.

515
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 5: To Houston and we put that sixty sixty nine and

516
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 5: nothing but kicking on him.

517
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 4: I didn't hear much from him the rest of the year.

518
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: A real squeaker.

519
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: Okay, So I know we got a lot of Houston

520
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: Cougar fans that are out there, and I thought about

521
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 2: this on Friday because basically, wherever we go, we're gonna

522
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: have three of the greatest Houston Cougar football players of

523
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 2: all time, because we'll have case Keenum, Tank Dell, and

524
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 2: our own Andre Ware. And so I asked Ray this,

525
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 2: if you were to rank University Houston, University Houston's greatest

526
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 2: football players, how far would.

527
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: You get to include all three? Andre Case in Tank?

528
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 3: Well, the tank is the question here, Case or in

529
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: the top two or three, whatever however you want to

530
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: classify it. But where does does Tank fit into the

531
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 3: top ten? There have been a lot of great players

532
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: at U wage.

533
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: This is tough.

534
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 5: It's a tough one, and and at his position, because

535
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 5: you've got to go back to Elmo Wright. You got

536
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 5: to go back to Jason Phillips, James Dixon, guys that

537
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 5: have caught one hundred balls in a season. Now, I

538
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 5: know the explosiveness of Tank Dell and damn it, I

539
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 5: put him in the run and shoot ahead of a

540
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 5: lot of guys that we played that I played with it.

541
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 5: So h just from that standpoint, I think it's the

542
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 5: top ten. But there are some great, great players that

543
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 5: that are kind of going to come in ahead or

544
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 5: or will be there along with Tanks.

545
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: Tanks name man that Koops have had some receivers now, my.

546
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks too. I mean Drake, you.

547
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 5: Forget Tyrone Carrier, who is a coach college football coach.

548
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 5: He was there and was an outstanding return man. So

549
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 5: I mean you can just keep coming with names. Guys

550
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 5: that did with Tank has done at that position. Uh,

551
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 5: It's it's tough to tough to get down that list.

552
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks pretty good too, Dre case Well was pretty good.

553
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 6: Cobb.

554
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know they got a lot of good quarterbacks.

555
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can just keep going down that list. People

556
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 5: talk about quarterback you, I'm like, you gotta be kidding me.

557
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 5: Chuck Clem I watched him play make his first start

558
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 5: as true fresh as a freshman at Michigan. How tough

559
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 5: is that to get your career jump started in the

560
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 5: big House. And I got fined that weekend because I

561
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 5: was about five five minutes late getting back to our

562
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 5: team meeting in Detroit.

563
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: Man, that's tough.

564
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 3: Only one of those coups quarterbacks has their number on

565
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 3: the field.

566
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, right the eleven yard line. I forgot.

567
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: It'll come back to me. It'll come back to us.

568
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 3: All right, Dras, thanks a lot for being with us

Speaker 2: Just getting going on another week of training camp.

581
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: It's kind of wild.

582
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: At the end of this week we play on the

Speaker 2: take on the Giants again. Reminder noon kickoff against the

586
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: New York New Jersey Football Giants in NRG Stadium, the

587
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: next two preseason games at home, and it's a string

588
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 2: of games for the Texans inside. Last two preseason regular

589
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 2: season at Indy, then Chicago inside on Sunday night, the

590

Speaker 2: Minnesota inside on Sunday, back home for Jack's Bills inside,

591
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 2: before we go to New England, which will be outside.

592
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: So this should be one of a string.

593
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 6: Now.

594
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: Again I said earlier, I don't know about the roof.

595
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: I have no idea, So you'll just have to.

596
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: Kind of pay attention and we'll see if we can't

597
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 2: get it repaired at some point I don't know, before Saturday,

598
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 2: before the following Saturday, before we take on the Bears.

599
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know it's being worked on.

600
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: But as we said earlier this morning, you can't really

601
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: go to Home Deep or Low's or Ace Hardware or

602
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 2: Village Hardware and find it. You just can't. So you

603
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 2: deal with it the best you can. Speaking of dealing

604
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: with it, this next guest has to deal with me

605
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: on the broadcast. But we had a pretty good time

606
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: on Friday, Indi Kalu with Kevin Couger doing a play

607
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: by play.

608
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: We had a blast.

609
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: We chatted with Mark this morning about what ND Kalou

610
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: saw from this Texans team. Was a good time with ND.

611
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: Take a listen a member of the Texans TV broadcast

612
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: crew with Johnny Harris in the booth along with Kevin

613
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 3: Koogler and Shelby Coppage on the sideline. Great debut for

614
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 3: you guys, and I know you like that Danil Hunter sack.

615
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 6: Oh, definitely.

616
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 7: First of all, thank you very much and good morning

617
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 7: to all of y'all listening into y'all two as well.

618
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 7: But no, I mean that's what excited me the most

619
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 7: to bring in a guy like Danielle Hunter, knowing what

620
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 7: he's done in the past, and he just seems to

621
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 7: get better with age. And I know I brought this

622
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 7: up during the TV broadcast. To be the league for

623
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 7: ten years and still be in your twenties, I mean

624
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 7: that's huge. That's typically what we see in basketball, but

625
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 7: to see that with an NFL player still in his

626
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 7: prime after all the work that he's put in over

627
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 7: the last decade, it's going to be very, very fun

628
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 7: to watch him in the regular season with Will Anderson.

629
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: You know, this is kind of like talking to my

630
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 2: mistress with my wife sitting next to me by the way.

631
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, really, you know, jeez, this is awkward. It is

632
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: kind of kind.

633
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: I mean, We're both next to you guys, and I'm

634
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: peering in and I'm like, I wonder if they're having

635
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 3: a good time over there and they enjoying themselves.

636
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: We did, We had, We had a good time, obviously,

637
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: Indy the the d line as a whole. What do

638
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: you think of what you saw? We saw Mario Edwards

639
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: do some good things. Old man, Jerry. I hate cal

640
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: him old man because when you watch out Jerry hughes

641
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: on David, it's like he didn't look.

642
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: Like eventually get him the half a sack. He had to.

643
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: He was the one to grab the.

644
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: Ankle because originally on the stats they didn't give it

645
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 3: to him, and then they gave it to him.

646
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: They thought better of it.

647
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 3: No, because Robert Hensley read it right off the NFL

648
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 3: G S I S which is where we are stats.

649
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: Ye, and I said, come on, you gotta give Jerry that. Yeah,

650
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: Jerry was the imptus for that. But what do you

651
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: think overall, indy about the D line just in general.

652
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: Then a lot of people have talked about the interior

653
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: D line not being what everybody thought it was going

654
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: to be last year and all that kind of stuff.

655
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 2: Did you think overall how the D line played.

656
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 7: I saw flashes and the big question it wasn't going

657
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 7: to be how are they going to get after the quarterback?

658
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 7: There was more stuff in the run and playing in

659
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 7: between the guards, and you saw a couple of players

660
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 7: where you're like, Okay, that's why they brought in for

661
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 7: That's why they brought in Mario Edwards. I would like

662
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 7: to see a little bit more consistency. John, you and

663
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 7: I were talking off area during the commercial breaks, because

664
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 7: there were times where they stuffed the run, but that

665
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 7: there was times in between the guards that they're picking

666
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 7: up three four positive yards and the linebackers aren't really

667
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 7: making them plays. But overall, I mean, I'm just excited

668
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 7: because I know the season vets, you know, the Follies,

669
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 7: the Mario Edwards, even hunters, even against the run, they're

670
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 7: just working technique. So I do believe during the regular

671
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 7: season they're gonna play the system the way it's supposed

672
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 7: to be played. And not just work with their individually

673
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 7: trying to get better at during that week. But I

674
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 7: would have liked to seen a little bit more consistency

675
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 7: against the run.

676
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: There was one one play early where and teams are

677
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: gonna trap the Texans, No, they go upfield in the

678
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 2: automatic Okay, they're gonna go upfield. They like to penetrate,

679
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: We're gonna trap them. They ran trap and fully crushes

680
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: the trap blocker. Mario closes down from the other side,

681
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: and the two linebackers close so fast. I was like,

682
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: that's the that's the definition of swarm of what the

683
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: Miko wants.

684
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Like, that's it right there, because that's the play.

685
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 2: That's the kryptonite against this defense really is going upfield.

686
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: And when you have defensive tackles that do that, you

687
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: have something inde level one to ten. What's your concern

688
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 2: level for the offensive line right now and the run game?

689
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: Because it was not pretty the other night, for sure.

690
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 7: I know I have to give a number, but I'm

691
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 7: gonna give you a letter I incomplete, because I don't

692
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 7: know if I should be concerned when I don't see

693
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 7: sixty percent of the starters out there. You know, it's

694
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 7: tough to be concerned when Titus Howard isn't out there,

695
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 7: and Laromy Tunsel wasn't out there. Even heck, you know

696
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 7: Charlie Head who's battling Blake Fisher to be that swing tackle,

697
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 7: he wasn't out there. So if those guys were out there,

698
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 7: and I know it would have been limited playtime maybe

699
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 7: one or two or two or three series, and we

700
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 7: saw those issues, then I would have been concerned. But

701
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 7: my thought is, you know what, the unfortunately for the

702
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 7: guy that we saw, the majority of them won't be

703
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 7: playing during the regular season.

704
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: What about the secondary endy, I know they got guys

705
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 3: out there too. There were some pass plays in the

706
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 3: first half where I thought, well, that was a little

707
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 3: too open for my liking, even though the Texans kept

708
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 3: them out of the end zone. Now we all know

709
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: that Calvin Austin catch could have would have should have

710
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 3: been a touchdown, But I saw a bagel on the

711
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 3: scoreboard at the half anyway, But what do you think

712
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 3: of pass defense in the back end?

713
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 7: You know, a one play sticks out and it wasn't

714
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 7: an interception because he was out of bounds. But Kayln Bullet,

715
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 7: with everything that we've heard about him at USC, with

716
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 7: his nine interceptions. We talked about his range and playing

717
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 7: outfield during baseball, and you know you're able to see

718
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 7: that when he's on the football field. But there was

719
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 7: one play where and John mentioned it during the cast,

720
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 7: he goes from midfield all the way to the sideline,

721
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 7: ends up catching the ball. It would have been an interception,

722
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 7: but he catches it. Out about that got me excited,

723
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 7: you know, because that opens up if he can mentally

724
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 7: be ready and understand the play. It opens up what

725
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 7: you could do with Jalen Petrie, it opens up what

726
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 7: you can do with desnec King, and you could really

727
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 7: get creative with the backfield. And you're absolutely right. There

728
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 7: were a couple of players where you're like, I don't

729
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 7: like that, especially the non touchdown that could have been

730
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 7: a touchdown. The only reason I'm not overly concerned with

731
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 7: that play, Mark is because it was more of a

732
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 7: a myth assignment than it was that somebody physically getting beat.

733
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, your great point about Bullock that even though it

734
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: wasn't a pick, it was impressive. He's like a terra

735
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 3: dactyl coming in and.

736
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: Just I'm taking this one away.

737
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 3: And we've seen numerous plays like that. At practice from him,

738
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 3: You'd love to see the whole thing once you play

739
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 3: these real games.

740
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: But I was impressed. We'll see where that all goes.

741
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know you mentioned something very important, Mark, because

742
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 7: you said we saw that practice. You know, I've played

743
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 7: with a lot of guys God bless them that at practice,

744
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 7: especially early on the rookies, they show out. You're like, man,

745
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 7: this guy's good. How did he last to the fourth round?

746
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 7: Fifth round? And then when the lights come on, you're like,

747
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 7: where did he go? It's almost like the disappearing act.

748
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 7: But when you see those guys that do it in practice,

749
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 7: then they reinforce it in the games, even if it's

750
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 7: a preseason game, then you know those are true players.

751
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 7: So that's why it was very encouraging to see Kaylen

752
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 7: Bullock make the same place he made a practice in

753
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 7: the preseason games.

754
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 2: Indeed, I always i'd love your perspective on this part

755
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 2: when we get to training camp, because you've talked about

756
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 2: your career in the different stages that you've had in

757
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,959
Speaker 2: your career, I always feel like this is a point

758
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 2: in training camp that gets really interesting because guys like

759
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: Kaylen Bullock are starting to get some momentum, and they're

760
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: starting to separate a little bit, and they're starting to

761
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 2: kind of show yourself the cream rising to the top,

762
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: if you will. And then you have some guys that

763
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 2: are you know, maybe started well but now haven't gotten

764
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 2: in as many reps and now they're not performing as well.

765
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 2: Now the mental fatigue sets in, and now the lack

766
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 2: of confidence maybe starts to show. I always feel like

767
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 2: this is really kind of an intriguing part in camp

768
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: because you're fighting so many things. You know, if you're

769
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: a start, you're trying to stay healthy, if you're a

770
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 2: guy that is a kind of a sure backup, you

771
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: are on just kind of maintainment.

772
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: At the bottom.

773
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 2: You're like, man, I'm fighting for my football life, and

774
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 2: yet I just I can't catch a pass, I can't

775
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 2: make a tackle. I'm just I'm struggling. How tough is

776
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 2: this part of training camp right now? Because you're so tired,

777
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: you're so mentally drained, and yet guys have got to

778
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 2: fight through it. How tough is this part of training

779
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 2: camp for players?

780
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 7: You know, it's a lot tougher for the guys who

781
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 7: are fighting for that position and they're not really producing

782
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 7: the way you expect them to produce. I know there

783
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 7: was one play where I can't remember the route, but

784
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 7: it was a short route where John Metchi was you

785
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 7: should have just caught the ball and open space and

786
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 7: picked up a couple of yards after the catch, and

787
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 7: he just doesn't make the catch, and you're thinking, oh, man,

788
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 7: you know a great story. He beats cancer, he gets

789
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 7: back on the football field, he comes back from that

790
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 7: horrific injury when it was in Alabama, excuse me at Alabama,

791
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 7: and then you know, he's one of those guys you're

792
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 7: all kind of rooting for, but he hasn't really given

793
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 7: you in anything to cheer about. You know, you're not

794
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 7: thinking the man, this is a guy that's gonna make

795
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 7: the team, especially when he's dropping passes and not making

796
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 7: plays he needs to make. That might be one of

797
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 7: the deepest groups when you talk about position groups on

798
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 7: this teams, the wide receiver, so you almost have to

799
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 7: be flawless. So and you explained that John Mitch is

800
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 7: the guy that I was just thinking of.

801
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 3: All right, Dimiko ryans end his positive outlook, the effect

802
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 3: he has on the team, and Johnny talked about where

803
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 3: you are in camp right now. I gotta think it's

804
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 3: a huge help to these guys as opposed to the

805
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 3: approach of some other coaches where it might not be

806
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 3: as positive because the energy level, the grind. You're still

807
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 3: several weeks away from the regular season opener. What about

808
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 3: the effect of Demico on this team psychologically right now

809
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 3: as they are midway through getting to opening day.

810
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 7: He's a guy that you want a grind for where

811
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 7: you want to play for. Look, all these guys are

812
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 7: playing for themselves. They're playing for the money, for the notoriety,

813
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 7: for a chance to win the Super Bowl. But that

814
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 7: only takes you so far. When you're grinding through training camp,

815
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 7: you need that coach with that bright smile, with that

816
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 7: positive outlook that's gonna get you through those practices of

817
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 7: ninety eight degree humid weather here in Houston. And Tomiko

818
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 7: said something during the production meetings that we had that

819
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 7: reminded me or reinforced what type of person he is.

820
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 7: This is the guy, and I know the players pick

821
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 7: up on it. When we were talking about making the

822
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 7: fifty three man roster, most coaches their only thought is

823
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 7: I need the best fifty three so I can get

824
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 7: as many wins.

825
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 6: And secure my job.

826
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 7: Tomiko was really passionate about letting his players know I

827
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 7: want all y'all to be in the NFL. Unfortunately I

828
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 7: can only keep fifty three. But he wants all of

829
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 7: them to put a good play, not just to try

830
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 7: and make this team, but he wants to see every

831
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 7: single guy all the roster make an NFL team. And

832
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 7: that was genuine the way he was talking about it.

833
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 7: And I truly believe like the players feel that, and

834
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 7: that's why the eighty eighth guy on this roster is

835
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 7: still going to play for him as if he's the

836
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 7: thirty third guy on the roster.

837
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would have been a fun guy to play for.

838
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 2: He've been a good guy to coach, a great guy

839
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: to coach with.

840
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: Andy. I don't want to say we buried lead in.

841
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 2: Some sense, but we talked about Tank Dell a little

842
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 2: bit earlier and just what he did and you and I,

843
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: but I don't think we're on opsin ends of the spectrum.

844
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 2: I would like to see Tank return punts, but I

845
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: crossed my fingers and I closed my eyes kind of

846
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 2: like my wife does when I drive in Houston when

847
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: he is returning. But you were pretty confident when we

848
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 2: were talking about it. You want Tank back there returning punts.

849
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 2: Settle the debate, if you will. What your thought about

850
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 2: Tank returning punts and what do you think about him

851
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: overall and how he looked the other night.

852
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 7: Oh, the first of all, I want him returning. So

853
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 7: he's a playmaker. If this was high school going to college,

854
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 7: he wouldn't just have that wr wide receiver next to him.

855
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 6: He would have the AT eight athlete.

856
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 7: So he's one of those special players that whether it's

857
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 7: special teams, whether it's uh, you know, lining him up

858
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 7: as a wide receiver, whether you throw him in the backfield,

859
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 7: he's the type of guy you just got to get the.

860
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 6: Ball in his hands.

861
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 7: So I'm one hundred percent okay with him returning, punch,

862
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 7: returning kickoffs, whatever it may be. And I'm even okay,

863
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 7: I'll take it a step further seeing him do that

864
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 7: in the preseason because when you suffer the broken ankle,

865
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 7: what was it the ankler, Phidia.

866
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 3: I thought it was it was something down there, thing.

867
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 7: Right, But when you break your leg and then you

868
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 7: double down and say, you know what, I'm going to

869
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 7: act like.

870
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 6: I'm in a scene from Colors and get shot at

871
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 6: a party.

872
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 7: You want to be able to you want to be

873
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 7: able to get on the field just so you can

874
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 7: get that confidence back, like, Okay, you.

875
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 6: Know what, I'm back. I'm good.

876
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 7: And the way he looked on that touchdown, the way

877
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 7: he looked on that return, I felt like, Okay, this

878
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 7: guy is back. He's not stuff bring any ill effects

879
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 7: from getting shot or from the broken legs. So I

880
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 7: thought it was important, namely for him to be able

881
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 7: to feel that in a game time situation. But I'm

882
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 7: one okay with him being a return man, especially when

883
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 7: you see how deep the wide receivers are.

884
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: It was a fibula, that's what reportedly connected to the

885
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: hip bone.

886
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 3: There's the tibia and the fibula, right, and what's the

887
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 3: what's the one the upper leg bone.

888
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but as they sit on school house rock,

889
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 2: leg bones connected to the hip bone, hip bone connected

890
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 2: to the thigh bone.

891
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 6: Yeah.

892
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 3: I saw like a little clip of the guys who

893
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 3: sang those songs, because you're so used to count the

894
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 3: cartoon characters singing those songs and it was a big

895
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 3: disappointment to actually see the people singing.

896
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: So it's like conjunction, junction, Well, it's your function. Okay,

897
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: that's kind of dated stuff.

898
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 3: There we go, Uh, indeed, I'm gonna go behind the wall.

899
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: Here.

900
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 3: We are in production meetings right for these preseason TV broadcasts,

901
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 3: and they're very cool because you talked to the coach,

902
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 3: We talked to CJ.

903
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: Stroud last week.

904
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 3: Share with the audience what it's like to be in

905
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: a TV production meeting. And my kid was watching Receiver

906
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 3: last night on Netflix. Oh yeah, they're actually in one

907
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 3: with CBS Tracy Wilson nance Romo. They actually i think

908
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 3: it was Justin Jefferson, one of the players that they highlighted.

909
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 3: But they're in the production meeting getting some footage and

910
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 3: you'll see some on our Iron Sharpen's Iron Texans TV show.

911
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 3: But anyway, Andy, what is that like for you? And

912
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 3: share some thoughts on being able to talk to Stroud

913
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 3: in that setting.

914
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 7: You know what is very cool just to get the guys,

915
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 7: even though we're talking football, to get them away from

916
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 7: the locker room, to get them away from the football field,

917
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 7: because it kind of gives another dimension where we get

918
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 7: a better feel for what type of person they are.

919
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 7: And I'm always disappointed in myself when I'm excited that

920
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 7: a lot of these players are good guys off the field.

921
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 7: And the reason I say I'm disappointing myself. I know that,

922
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 7: you know, I know that the majority, the vast majority

923
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 7: of the guys on a football roster are just good man.

924
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 7: But sometimes with social media media, even I tend to forget, like,

925
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 7: oh yeah, the majority of these guys aren't knuckleheads, they

926
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 7: aren't idiots who or just out there, you know, living

927
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 7: the life of the stereotypical life of a professional athlete.

928
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 7: And the reason I say that, after we talked to

929
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 7: Khalil Davis, I've really enjoyed his story going from the

930
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 7: USFL to making this roster and to being a productive

931
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 7: defensive lineman for the Texans. But then talking to him

932
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 7: like how humble he is, how you know, his voice

933
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 7: is real calming and quiet, and you could tell he

934
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 7: really appreciates everything that he's going through in the NFL.

935
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 7: And then CJ Stroud, I mean, you talk about a

936
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 7: guy that's wives beyond his years. Like by the end

937
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 7: of the meeting, I wanted to ask him some life

938
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 7: advice just because the way he respond to questions and

939
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 7: how he looks and looks at things. What's cool about

940
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 7: Cjing and I don't know if words could do a justice.

941
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 6: John.

942
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 7: You know, obviously both of y'all seen it, but when

943
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 7: you ask him a question, he just doesn't spit out

944
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 7: an answer.

945
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 6: He'll pause, you see.

946
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 7: His eyes are kind of like moving around, like thinking

947
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 7: about it and making sure that he gives you a

948
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 7: genuine answer. But at the same time, he's not going

949
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 7: to say anything that he regrets. So it's just really

950
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 7: really cool to get the background scene with these players

951
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 7: and coaches like Frank Ross after talking to him for

952
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 7: thirty seconds, and for those that don't know, that's a

953
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 7: special teams coordinator. I really thought I might be able

954
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 7: to play for three or four more snaps because he's

955
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 7: really going to get you excited about the sport and

956
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 7: gets you excited about special teams.

957
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 6: So it's really really cool.

958
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 7: Just to kind of get these guys in a comfortable

959
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 7: setting where they're not just giving you coach speak or

960
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 7: players speak.

961
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 3: Great stuff, looking forward to more great stuff on ABC

Speaker 2: up some news, in particular one of the Texans opponents

977
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 2: having a little internal strife with a player they traded for.

978
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: That's next on Texans All Access.

Speaker 2: thirteen preseason games alongside my good friend Indy Klue and

986

Speaker 2: you're out and about you're listening to Mark and Andre

987
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 2: call the preseason games. I'll be back for week one

988
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 2: of the Colts with my guys, as we start the

989
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 2: regular season, Mark and Andre, let's go around in the

990
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 2: NFL and let's try and follow this trade arc of

991
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 2: Hassan Reddick. The Texans are gonna play the Jets on

992
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 2: October thirty. First, that's a Thursday night. Now, Hassan Reddick

993
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 2: was with the Eagles and he had had some really

994
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 2: good time with the Eagles. But this offseason, Reddick want

995
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 2: a new contract. Bryce Hoff was with the Jets. They're

996
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: kind of analogous players to the Jets and Eagles. Work

997
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 2: the trade. Bryce Toff goes to the Eagles, Son Reddick

998
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 2: goes to the Jets. Well, turns out Son Reddick never

999
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 2: showed up. He wants a new contract. Then today Son

1000
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 2: Reddick is like trade me again.

1001
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: Like wait a second, you.

1002
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 2: Got traded to the Jets, never showed up, and then

1003
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 2: you ask for another trade because apparently the Jets have

1004
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 2: not met his contract demands.

1005
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:57,919
Speaker 1: Oh boy.

1006
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 2: So now, after going through all Aaron Rodgers stuff in

1007
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 2: July leading into August, it looked like that kind of cleared.

1008
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 2: Now the Jets got to deal with Son Reddick, and

1009
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 2: that is going to be a really difficult situation. Now,

1010
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 2: the Jets put out a statement saying, in essence, good luck. No,

1011
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 2: Hassan Reddick is a Jet, he will stay a jet.

1012
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: And that was that. Seemingly.

1013
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 2: Now we'll see a battle of wills what a son

1014
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 2: Reddick is going to do. But it was a conditional

1015
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 2: pick that was in that mix with the Jets and

1016
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 2: the Eagles trade.

1017
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that all goes down.

1018
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 2: But I know right now is bright so off as

1019
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 2: an Eagle and Hassan Redick is a Jet, but he's

1020
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,959
Speaker 2: not happy about it. But I'm happy because you guys

1021
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 2: are here with me, and then we were able to

1022
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,919
Speaker 2: do a Texans all access this Monday. We will see

1023
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 2: you tomorrow, buddy practice. We'll break it all down for

1024
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: you and see you again. Thank you very much, and

1025
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 2: as always, go Texans,
