1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to everybody to a Wednesday at issue of Texans

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: All Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host,

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: John Harris, and I am so incredibly police to be

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: joined right off the top. He's been gone for two days.

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: It's felt very weird to do radio without him. It's

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: the voice of Texas, Mark Vanimer, Mark, are you all

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: leadershipped out? Yeah? We had our business operations and business

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: ops for those who don't know, we had our business

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: operations get together where we go away and strategize and stuff,

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: and it's it's basically it's not the football side of

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: things really, it's more like marketing, ticketing, what we do

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: with digital media, human resources, accounting, all of it, you know,

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: led by our president Jamie Roots. It was a great

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: leader and we had a great time coming up with

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: different things to look at for twenty twenty. And you know,

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: this is a business, really, Johnny. I know it's all

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: about winning, right. You want to win, and winning is

18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: by far the most important thing for any sports franchise.

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: But it's not the only thing. R Right, There's a

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: lot going on with every sports franchise and I think

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: those who really delve deep into these things understand this,

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: and a lot of casual fans don't care. They just

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: want to see what you do on the field or

24
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: the playing surface, whatever franchise you happen to be. But

25
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: believe me, there's a lot going on and that's what

26
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: we're focusing on. So anyway, I'm back and ready to

27
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: rock for Texans Radio. Love being on this time of

28
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: year because you know, it's the beginning. The seedlings are

29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: going to be planted as we get ready for what

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: I think is an incredible schedule in twenty twenty. I mean,

31
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: when I look at this schedule, I can talk myself

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: into a lot of dreams and a lot of nightmares

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: and a lot of in between, you know what I mean.

34
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on for this twenty twenty schedule.

35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see how it lays out. In April, dude,

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: can you unveil the twenty twenty digital team Priority to men?

37
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Now you have to wait the priority, Johnny, Well, we

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: have to wait. Yeah, you have to you have to wait.

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: That's always that's always a big surprise. Well the theme

40
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: you mean, and things like yeah, I mean, wait, look weak.

41
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: I always look forward to this theme. Jamie always Jamie

42
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: un and that's an internal the ball team. They'll always

43
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: come up with a theme, and obviously themes for sports

44
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: teams that if Houston have been sort of a talking

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: topic last twenty four to thirty six, and you know,

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: these things have to be researched. Well, those those outward slogans,

47
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: and we're not big on that here at the Texans.

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: You know, we are Texans has been ours for a

49
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: long time, a very long time. And I think that

50
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: you could use that in any situation and it's all true,

51
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: and it's all good and it kind of brings everybody together,

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: players and fans and everything. But you know, other teams

53
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: have different things, and you know that's great for them

54
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: as well. And I just think it's interesting when you

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: use one that has another team using it. But whatever,

56
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, whatever works for you, Yeah, exactly, whatever works

57
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: for you. Later in the show, we're gonna get all

58
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: four us together, meet you, DP and Drew. They will

59
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: come in and it's time for our Wednesday night draft.

60
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: Oh yes, and I have a very very good topic.

61
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: I love this top Wait did I prepare for this? No,

62
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a three round dare and we are

63
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: going to we're going to improve. Well, yeah, I would

64
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: hope that we're going to improve, but the goal is

65
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: to improve the twenty twenty Houston Texans with three additions

66
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: are player acquisitions. Player acquisitions, but they're not like real acquisitions.

67
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: Are they like Marvel Superhero sort of? Okay, well you'll

68
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: you'll find out. Okay, you'll find out. You'll find out later.

69
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: It's our radio. D's all right, But I want to

70
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: do a little gut reaction with you, especially because there

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: were two things that happened yesterday in particular, and I

72
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: talked about them a little bit, but they were in

73
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: reference to the AFC South and on completely different planes,

74
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: seemingly but yet still going to impact us here in Houston.

75
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: The first one, get your gut reaction to this. Yes,

76
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: there are two teams that, it appears are very interested.

77
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: According to Greg Rosf dot com in Panther's quarterback Cam

78
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: newton YEP one is the LA Chargers. Number two is

79
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. Very interesting. Your gut reaction, My gut

80
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: reaction is is he healthy? I guess my gut reaction

81
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: as a question, yeah, and I think this is very

82
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: potentially frightening. But you know, me. I tend to be

83
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: overly dramatic about these things. How about a little bit

84
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: of a concern, Johnny, if Cam Newton is healthy and

85
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. Look, I think Jacoby Brissette is pretty good,

86
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: and I think that he took and they know better

87
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: than me what he was going through, but I think

88
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: he was a little banged up and it affected his play.

89
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: But you had me that Pittsburgh game right when Hoyer

90
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: had to come in, and that's where it's sort of

91
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: changed for them because they lost at Pittsburgh game, and

92
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: even with Oyer they should have won. And Hoyer started

93
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: what one game started against this game against the Dolphins

94
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: or whatever, and they had to rush Brissette back because

95
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: this horior thing wasn't going to work out for them,

96
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: and Brissette just wasn't up to the challenge physically. Maybe,

97
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: And you know, I'll give them that little alibi, but

98
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: they want to upgrade at the position. It appears so

99
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: here they are the first offseason without Andrew Luck for sure,

100
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: and they'll try to upgrade. Cam Newton would be a

101
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: hell of a quarterback for them to have. I mean,

102
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: a healthy Cam Newton, Are you kidding me? People? I

103
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: think too many people are looking at unhealthy Cam Newton

104
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: and thinking, wow, what's he really? Look? A healthy Cam

105
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: Newton and working the offense, designing it more around him

106
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: with Frank Reich could be a real problem in the

107
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: AFC South. And look, I think the cults are a

108
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: problem anyway, John, I think I said this on Monday.

109
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: You know, everyone's talking about the Titans, and rightfully so.

110
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: They just went to the AFC Championship. But I think

111
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: that you have to look at the Titans as a

112
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: nine and seven type of team that exploded in the playoffs.

113
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: Dinks to Derrick Henry Tannehill playing solid. Look, I'll give

114
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: them all the credit. They beat the Patriots in New England,

115
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens, are you kidding me? Knocking off the top seed? Fantastic?

116
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: But does anybody have a ton of faith in this

117
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: football team the way it's constructed now? And nobody stays

118
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: the same. I get it the way it's constructed now

119
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty. I can't say I do yet until

120
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: I see their acquisitions, because look at it this way.

121
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: They had a chance to beat the Texans at home

122
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: late in the season, didn't do it, And to declare

123
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: victory and really get the inside track and the AFC

124
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: South Championship. Couldn't do it. Next week they had the

125
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: Saints in and a good Saints team, yes not the

126
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: greatest Saints team, but a good Saints team. But you're

127
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: at home again, let's try it to get can't do it.

128
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: And then they got hot in the postseason. That doesn't

129
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: mean you're gonna be hot in the regular season when

130
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: the opening bell rings and they're gonna have to make

131
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: some changes. I think the Colts have a lot of

132
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: things going for them, and if they fix quarterback that's

133
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: a big concern. And Cam Newton, as dynamic and electric

134
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: as he can be, if they can run the ball

135
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: with Mac and that great offensive line, Cam with a

136
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: great offensive line, that could be an issue. It is

137
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: a major issue. Here's when I was at the Senior Bowl,

138
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: I talked to I talked to actually one person from

139
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: the AFS in one person from the NFC, and both

140
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: of them said the exact same thing. Don't be surprised

141
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: if Carolina blows a whole thing up. Yeah, now after

142
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: I think maybe I saw this this morning and may

143
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: have been last night, but apparently Carolina is gonna do

144
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: a full physical well being check exam, whatever it might

145
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: be on Cam around March or in March, and and

146
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: I just I just look at it and say, well,

147
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: if he's healthy in your Carolina, then do you really

148
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: want to go away from him? Because you're gonna have

149
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: to draft a quarterback because Will Greer and gonna cut

150
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: it for you. And Kyle Allen proved at the end

151
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: of the year that he wasn't the Kyle Allen we

152
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: saw in week four? So how could you go away

153
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: from cam Newton? But then again, if you're blowing it

154
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: up and you're gonna get good draft picks for him,

155
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: then well you might as well. And maybe you do

156
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: luck into a fact, maybe Jordan Love falls in your hands,

157
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: maybe just a herd falls. Maybe you picks from Cam,

158
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: you move up and get Justin Murdoch. Can happen for

159
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: two down the draft as far as guys fought. But

160
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, John H. Cam Newton. Okay,

161
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: that's one thing Greg Olson already said. They didn't want me, right,

162
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: they didn't want that was not a mutual parting of

163
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: the ways. They were like, no, we're done. Matt Rule,

164
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of time, he has all the

165
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: time seven year contract, and that tells me. That was

166
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: immediately what told me. Okay, they're they're looking to rebuild

167
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: this thing, not reload, rebuild this thing. So that to

168
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: me is what stood out immediately. And so when I

169
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: heard that from from some people at the Senior ball,

170
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't surprised. But when they said it to me,

171
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: I said, does that include twenty two? And they're like, yep,

172
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: it includes Christian McCaffrey as well. That blows me away

173
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: because that he's he can make everybody around him better

174
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: because he's an easy guy to work throwing the ball.

175
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: He'll do the work he can hand off he can

176
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a rookie quarterback with McCaffrey, dump it

177
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: off to him. You know, we have a lot of

178
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: things we can do how he can help the team.

179
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: My goodness, what do you think of this? Though? If

180
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm Caroline Up, I make a deal with Cam we

181
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: part company. I go with Kyle Allen and he is

182
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: the he's kind of like the Steve de Berg to

183
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: my rookie. Okay, for lack of a better way of

184
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: putting it, it's a more modern reference for the Steve

185
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: de Berg. He's my Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yeah, who has really blossomed?

186
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: Who Ryan Fitzpatrick has kept the seat warm? Four? Anybody?

187
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean really, the burg is the most

188
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: famous one because it was Laway, then it was was Montana, Montana,

189
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: then Elway. Wait, he was always the one. There was

190
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: one other one, Tampa Bay. Yeah, Tampa Bay. It was

191
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: Steve Young, so he definitely was was that guy. The

192
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: Colts with a healthy Cam Newton are scary. Yeah, they're scary. Yeah,

193
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: they're really scary, very scary. Yeah. In fact, when it

194
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: comes to prediction time, they're gonna be picked. Some people

195
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: will pick them to win the division. Yes, they will

196
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: be because they're gonna make other improvements and even if

197
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't work, it's all gonna look good on paper. Right.

198
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: I still say the Texans of the team to beat

199
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: when you look at division title, how could they not

200
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: be back to back? And I know, oh the playoffs, Mart, Listen,

201
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: it's it's about more than that. We still don't know

202
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: who the Titans quarterback really is going to be. And

203
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: you don't know I mean Derrick Henry, you don't know

204
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: if he's gonna resign in Tennessee. I would think they're

205
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to resign him. But he's gonna be asking

206
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: for a boatload of money. What general manager really wants

207
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: to pay a ton like what he's going to command

208
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: for a running back? What running back's earned big money lately?

209
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: Has really worked out splendidly for their team. Toddle Nope,

210
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott not so much. I mean, okay, but healthy

211
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: the Jets as a free agent paying Bell, I mean

212
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: yeah maybe. I mean, once you've paid a guy, it

213
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: just that hasn't that form and that's why we're not

214
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: When I asked about McCaffrey with the Panthers, they were like, yeah,

215
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: my meat. Reaction was they don't want to pay running back. Yeah,

216
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: they don't want to pay him a second contract on

217
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: a running back. And we're gonna get to a point

218
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: where backs. Could you imagine, now, look, Henry on the

219
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: open market, somebody's gonna pay. Somebody's gonna get paid. I mean,

220
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna get paid. Can you imagine? I mean, the

221
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: Patriots wouldn't do it, but could you imagine the Patriots

222
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: with Brady coming back and Henry, Well, they're gonna smoke.

223
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: Look if they bring Brady back, which you assume they will. Yeah,

224
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: did the commercial lock that up by it? What was

225
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: the consensus on the commercial? No, I know, but it

226
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: was the consensus that the commercial meant he's coming back

227
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: to New England. Oh no, I don't just coming back. Never.

228
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: I think he's just that he's coming back. I don't

229
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: think anybody really addressed that. It felt like that I'm

230
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: not going anywhere, Well, anywhere would include leaving New England

231
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: in one interpretation of that commercial, stay in New England.

232
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: I just how he does it? I just I mean

233
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: I get going to a different place, investigating that and

234
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: looking at it and feeling the love from it. Because

235
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: somebody asked me, and I can't remember who was, asked me, well,

236
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: why would he why would he leave? Why would he

237
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: want to go? And I'm like, because you want to.

238
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: You want to, you want to feel the love and

239
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: you want to hear somebody say, you know what, Tom,

240
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: You're worth it. You've all those years taken those undermarket

241
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: deals in New England and now we're gonna give you

242
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: the deal that you should and it's a two year deal.

243
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: It's a two year deal for I don't know. Now

244
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: he's still gonna get his Island in seventy He's still

245
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: gonna get whatever at the back end of it. By

246
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: the way, he wasn't in Tennessee. That was Steve Hutchinson's wife. Yeah,

247
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: I saw that story. I thought Giselle was looking for

248
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: schools in Nashville, and apparently it was a Hall of

249
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: famer's blonde wife. Oh. Hell, we narrowed it down. Yes,

250
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: we narrowed it down to just every other Hall of

251
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: Famer's wife. I think it's ridiculous. Okay, here's the other one. Okay,

252
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: this news came out yesterday. In fact, Shot Khan and

253
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: President Mark Lamping of the Jaguars met with the media

254
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: and just disgusted playing not one, but two games in London.

255
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: They will play them back to back. They will not

256
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: have a buy in between the games. They will have

257
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: a bye after the second one. But I know, and

258
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: just kind of following on Twitter, the people I follow

259
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, they're really there was not much action from

260
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: them yesterday. I feel like that was kind of jarring

261
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: for them to hear, because wait, one game turned into two.

262
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: When does two turned into four? And when does four

263
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: automatically we turn into the London Jaguars what's your gut reaction,

264
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: and then playing tune a row in London. My gut

265
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: reaction is that's where we're headed, because I think it's

266
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: gonna be harder to get teams to want to go

267
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: to London. I think it's hard enough as it is.

268
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: But you could leverage the Raiders to go over there

269
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: and have to play. Yeah, okay, you could leverage the

270
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: Rams to go over there and have to play because

271
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,479
Speaker 1: they didn't really have a home, right right right, Chargers,

272
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: you gotta go play. But now they're about to move

273
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: into new Digs, Vegas in LA respectively, and you're not

274
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: going to have the leverage and teams gonna be as

275
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: willing to give up a home game as they have

276
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: been previously. Now maybe the more the economics change in

277
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: the next few years and it becomes easier. But based

278
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: on this, if you're gonna do this, I could see

279
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: that maybe you're gonna split shores eventually four and four. Now,

280
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: you're not gonna play four in a row over there,

281
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: although that's a possibility, I guess, But you'll have two.

282
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: You'll have two in a row, two two in a

283
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: row stretches. Yeah, you'll probably have one in September ye

284
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: and you'll probably have one in November. Yeah, something like that.

285
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: You just work it outside. Think that's I think where

286
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: you're going, and you'll be the London slash Jacksonville Jaguars.

287
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: You would, I don't know what they call the Fulham

288
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: Atlantic Jaguars. The Fulham Jaguar Jaguars scrimmage at at Craven Cottage,

289
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: so that that would be nice. But I'm with you.

290
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: I think that's where. I think that's where it's heading

291
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: until and this could be the deciding factor. And I

292
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: thought this is interesting because Mark Lamping the Jaguars. Jamie

293
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: Roots said, look in twenty seventeen, when we had a

294
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: great season, we essentially maxed out our ticket sales and

295
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: all that we still were just treading water with the

296
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: stadium we have. There's gonna be a push for a

297
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: new stadium in Jacksonville, and if that doesn't happen, then

298
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: I think this is where we're going ahead treading water,

299
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: meaning and ticket sales. Well, yeah, but they're not not

300
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: showing up because of the stadium. The stadiums quote five,

301
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: you have to swim. They're analysis. They're analysis of what

302
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: new stadiums have meant to teams in the last ten years. Yeah,

303
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: they just said that the analytics have been off the

304
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: charts for teams with new stadiums. Basically they've been unbelievable. Well,

305
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: including including the Chargers and the Rams, even though we

306
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: know the Chargers are having a hard time selling season tickets,

307
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: but just sweet sales and all that kind of stuff

308
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: in a new stadium and all the different amenities. Who's

309
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: to say if you don't run your franchise, well, ultimately

310
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't work. Look at the Red Skins yep, and

311
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: absolutely right. And watch these two teams, Jacksonville and Buffalo.

312
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of noise about new stadiums in

313
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: both locations, right both and East Coast, closer to London

314
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: than other teams. I don't know if the London bills

315
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. Mark appreciate it. Thanks Mark.

316
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: We'll be back in the final segment for a Wednesday

317
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: night draft. But coming up little truth and rumors right

318
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: here in Texas All Access. What's up, everybody? Welcome back

319
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: to a Wednesday edition of Texans All Access from the

320
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: Honday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris. Coming

321
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: up in our next segment, we'll put all four of

322
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: us in the room, Debsited, Drew Doherty, and Mark Vandermer,

323
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: and we will have our weekly Wednesday night draft. The

324
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: only time about Dill I think we don't do this

325
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: leading up to the actual NFL draft is I think

326
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: at the combine, I think we didn't do it to

327
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: combine just because timing of when we got GM head

328
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: coach all that to talk to us. So I think

329
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: all that will be on Tuesday this year. So maybe

330
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: we'll find a way to do a Wednesday night draft

331
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: at the common buying as well. But we'll have that

332
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: coming up in our next segment. So I thought it

333
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: still a little truth and rumors. We've gotten to that

334
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: point of the NFL campaign, and look, it's a twelve

335
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: month campaign. Every month is of a different type. July

336
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: that's the training camp. August that's getting to your fifty

337
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: three man roster. Then you got the season. January is

338
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: about playoffs. February starts with the Super Bowl. Then you

339
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: get to the off season. In the beginning of it,

340
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: free agency, draft rumors, all these rumors that are out there,

341
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: So I figured what's truth and what's really a rumor?

342
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: So I just put in to my little machine here

343
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: NFL rumors, just to see what would happen. I thought

344
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: there were some interesting ones. Which one's truth, which one's rumors.

345
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: So this one headline, I'm not even in the article.

346
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm just giving your headline true the rumors the Patriots

347
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: are willing to give quarterback Tom Brady a contract worth

348
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: thirty million per season. I do think that's truth. I

349
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: have said all along. I think Tom Brady will stay

350
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: with the New England Patriots, and I think thirty millions

351
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: probably the baseline. I think the total is five quarterbacks.

352
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: I believe Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan. Those are

353
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: ones off top of my head, and I'm sure I'm

354
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: missing some that are in the thirty million dollars a

355
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: year range. Tom Brady deserves to be in a range.

356
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: I think when push comes to shove, I know he's

357
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: sold his house where he was in Massachusetts and they

358
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: still have one in Greenwich, whatever the case might be.

359
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: I think when you get to the age of forty

360
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: three and you think about starting over, it sounds nice.

361
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: It sounds like, man, you get to start over. No

362
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: more Belichick, no more cold in New England. No more

363
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: of this, No more that starting over. Sometimes when you

364
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: don't have that perspective of what it's like somewhere else,

365
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: like oh man, then you're there for like a month

366
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: and you're like, this is different. I don't know if

367
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: I like it. I think he's gonna end up staying

368
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: in New England. That I think is truth. Another one

369
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: that popped up over the last few days tom Brady

370
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: to be pursued by the Las Vegas Raiders if Tom

371
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: Brady does get to unrestricted free aident status. Now I

372
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: just said I do think that he's gonna stay, but

373
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: I do think that's truth. I do think the Raiders

374
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: would absolutely, without question entertain looking at Tom Brady. Derek

375
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: Carr through for over four thousand yards. We know it's

376
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: not all about yards. I get that, but we saw

377
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: him here and I thought he did some really good

378
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: things against us. I'm not totally sure why everybody wants

379
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: to sell Derek car down the river, but I look,

380
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: he's not top eight quarterback in the league, top half. Yeah.

381
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: Would Tom Brady make the Raiders better? More than likely.

382
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: But coming back to my point about grass not always greener,

383
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna learn a whole new offense, especially Gruden's offense,

384
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: which is a nightmare like eighteen nineteen word plays that

385
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: can be a little different than what Tom has done

386
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: in New England. I think it's truth that Las Vegas

387
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: will want to entertain those thoughts, but I don't think

388
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: it's gonna end up happening. Then there's this one. Dave

389
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: Damnascheck of NFL dot Com said he heard a rumor

390
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: that the Lions would trade Matthew Stafford. Oh yeah, Stafford's

391
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: one of those thirty million dollars quarterbacks. I think that's false. Look,

392
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: the Lions are sitting I think in a good situation,

393
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: as good as it can be number three in a draft.

394
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: They've got their quarterback. They've got that guy. And when

395
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford's healthy, man, he's really good. He is an

396
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: excellent quarterback win healthy, and that obviously is a major question.

397
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: Same with Cam Newton and Carolina. I think this is rumor.

398
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: I think the Lions are sitting in a great spot,

399
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: sitting at number three. If they wouldn't get rid of

400
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, number three would have tore be a quarterback.

401
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: But if they stay with Stafford, they can use pick

402
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: number three and dangle it and say, come on, since

403
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: Nan he's taking Joe Burrow Washington. Number two is gonna

404
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: take Chase Young one two draft starts at three. Lions

405
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: are like this pick for sale, So now you have

406
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: you keep Stafford. You turned three number three into Look

407
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: what the Colts did. The Colts turned pick number three

408
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: into the six pick, which turned out to be Quinn Nelson,

409
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: and then they added a couple other picks and one

410
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: of those ended up being Darius Leonard. Those all came

411
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: virtue of the trade from three down to six back

412
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: in twenty eight, team, you turned three into three more

413
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: players that you what with Stafford? Not even in the

414
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: right direction. I think Lions trading Stafford is rumor. They

415
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: may listen if somebody, hey, look we'll give you three

416
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: first rounders for Matt Stafford. Okay, you're gonna listen. But

417
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna end up. Nobody's gonna do that,

418
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: so I don't think it's gonna be worth it. I

419
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: think that ends up being rumor. Tennessee quarterback Ryan Tannehill

420
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 1: reportedly is not leaving the Titans amid contract rumors. I

421
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: think that's truth. I think what Tennessee sits down and says, Okay,

422
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: look where we are in a draft. Look what might

423
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: be available to us in the draft. Ryan's a good option.

424
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: We don't have to pay him thirty million dollars a year.

425
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: We can pay him in the twenty to twenty five range.

426
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: Still get a good quarterback play, he gets better and better.

427
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna stick with Ryan Tannehill. Now. Is he limited?

428
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think he is. To be honest,

429
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: I think that's truth. I think they absolutely should keep him.

430
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna leave the Titans. They've got

431
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: to figure out the contract. But I think he is

432
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: going to end up being the guy. And I'm not

433
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: gonna say he completely won me over, but I know

434
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: facing the Titans going forward, it's gonna be easy facing

435
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Tanner going forward. He had some tremendous ball games

436
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: last half of the year. Can he stay healthy to

437
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: be able to do that consistently? And if they don't

438
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: sign Derrick Henry, can he do it without that running game.

439
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: That's a question that they've got to try and answer.

440
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: That'll be a little bit more difficult, but I think

441
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: that one is truth, as is this one Andy Dalton

442
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: trade rumors Bengals quarterback drawing interest amid Joe Burrows seeming

443
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: selection to the Sincati Bengals. Yes, Andy Dalton should. I

444
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: think that is truth. He is to get some opportunities

445
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: to go elsewhere. That will happen. Miami's already got Ryan Fitzpatrick.

446
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: But if they didn't, any Dalton would probably be a

447
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: nice bridge quarterback down in Miami. But I think that's true.

448
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: I think there's no question Andy Dalton will be going

449
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: elsewhere in twenty twenty. Okay, we get back. It's our

450
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday Night draft. Stay tuned. This is fun next on

451
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 1: Texas All Access. We have finally gotten to that time

452
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: in this show and that time in the year where

453
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: it's our Wednesday Night draft. Yes, welcome back to the

Speaker 1: Drew Dorty is here. We won't talk to him in

457
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: just a second because he was mean during a break

458
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: and Mark fan of her is here as well. Hello,

459
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Drew, just kidding. Okay, I'm gonna be mean

460
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: during the segment. I'm doing this segment under protest because

461
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: this should be an in the lab. We should not

462
00:24:54,280 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: be wasting this this subject four of us podcast. I

463
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: said it over texts. I'm gonna say it for the

464
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: record as well. This is a fantastic Wednesday draft show

465
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: or draft because we are going to improve the twenty

466
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: twenty Texas team. We have unlimited budget. We don't yeah,

467
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: unlimited budgets. A fantastic one show, sort of like Karen

468
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: Hill from Goodfellas. I watched that last night with Jack. Yeah,

469
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: loved it. You never you've never seen it, Oh, I've

470
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: seen it plenty of time. What about budget? What she had?

471
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: Unlimited budget? She would ask for money and he'd go

472
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: how much and she would show him like hers, that

473
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: has to be this much. So we have an unlimited budget.

474
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: So our stacks are yay big. Now for tonight's draft,

475
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: we're going to improve the twenty twenty Texans. You do

476
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: not have to pick in this order, but we have

477
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: three rounds and you're going to pick. To add to

478
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty Texans, you would add a retired retired

479
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: former Texan, a Hall of Famer post merger around nineteen seventy.

480
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: After that, and then a player the Texans faced in

481
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. I almost went with who they're gonna face

482
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty doesn't have to be in that order,

483
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: but you can only pick one. You can only kick

484
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: one from each category. One retired former Texan Hall of

485
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: Famer post merger around nineteen seventy, and player the Texans

486
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: faced in twenty nineteen. You are adding, we are adding

487
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: those three players to the twenty twenty Texans. One final caveat,

488
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: and I think it would go without saying, but no quarterbacks? Yeah,

489
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: no quarterback. We got the quarterback. We're good. So we

490
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: have the quarterback. We're good. So so are we putting

491
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: twelve new players on the twenty twenty Texans. Well, it's

492
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: my twenty twenty Texans. Okay, you're twenty twenty times. The

493
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: reason I ask is like, what if you know, but

494
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: you can't running backs? You know? Yeah? But yeah right?

495
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: What if a group? That's fine? The position group is fine?

496
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: He really wants Brown? And then I want to draft

497
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, Shane Matthews. Yes, that's fine, I could do that,

498
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: that's absolutely fine. Okay. Problem and Chris Brown? Which Chris

499
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: Brown the running back or the kicker? Either one So

500
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: no quarterback. You have three rounds. You can pick in

501
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: any order you want. Retired former Texan Hall of Famer

502
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: player of the Texas face in twenty nineteen. We're not

503
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: putting twelve new Texas on the team. We're putting putting

504
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: cool yes, and you don't have to cut anybody. I'm

505
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: not not We're not going that way. You're just chatting

506
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: these three players to the team. No quarterback. Deep. Oh,

507
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: you get to go first. You get to go first.

508
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: We'll go, well, you can't see it on because it's

509
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: on radio. We'll go dep Drew Mark. So we're going

510
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: counterclockwise deep and then we'll well, we don't have to

511
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: sneak back. We don't have to do that. Okay, So

512
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 1: you could pick any of the three categories, but you

513
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: can only pick one from from each category. This is

514
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to pick which category I want

515
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: to go with, but I think I'll go with the

516
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: shortest list, which would be retired former Texans. Oh smart,

517
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 1: because I think there's just there's just not a lot

518
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: of us former Texans that are retired. And I'm gonna

519
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: go Andre Johnson because I've always said and we've always said,

520
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: what would it be like to see him out there

521
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins. I would bring Drey

522
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: out of retirement. It wouldn't be hard. We just have

523
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: to walk down the hallway and just ask him. Yeah,

524
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: I think he would do it, but he would do it.

525
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: He looks I think he would do it, so he

526
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: would do it. You're gonna put John Johnson. Would you

527
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: get him in his prime? Right? Yeah? This is true

528
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: and still looks like he's in his prime. Yeah. I know,

529
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: Mark mad at this, but he also gets to play

530
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson and not match Shop. Now, Matt was good,

531
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: but he gets to play with the Shawn Watson. It's

532
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: so funny how we have to go to the match

533
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: Shop disclaimer every time we bring up his name, mat

534
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: Shop a quarterback, We need to have a little radio.

535
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: But Drey said it best back in twenty seventeen, I

536
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: think it was when we were we had him on

537
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: the Food Ruckers Show. We asked him what would have

538
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: been like if you'd played with DW four And he said,

539
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: somebody came up to me the other day and said,

540
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: you'd had twenty touchdowns a season if you'd have played

541
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: with him. Oh, you know, he wasn't saying that I

542
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: would have had twenty. He was saying somebody told him that.

543
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: But you could tell he kind of he liked that

544
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: idea and wouldn't mind given it a tribe watch. It

545
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: might have thrown to him in the red zone a

546
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 1: couple of times. A few times, Yeah, just just a

547
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: few times. Okay. So DP takes Andre Johnson, Andrea is

548
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: off the board. Dp's roster shaping up nicely after one

549
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: pick a, Right, it is your turn. Retired former Texan

550
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer player of the Texas face in twenty nineteen,

551
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: can't ever argue against what DP did there. Andre Johnson

552
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: belongs on any team, doesn't matter who else is in

553
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: the receiving corps. Really, and uh, I like that pick.

554
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the Hall of Famer. Okay. And

555
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: what did the Texans really really, really really need in

556
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City a few weeks back then? He died a

557
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: little bit, better pass rush a few amongst other things.

558
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: But I think they could have used a better pass rush.

559
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: So let's get the nastiest, meanest, craziest outside linebackers ever

560
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: Rome and let's get Lawrence Taylor Sir Lawrence of the

561
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: Meadowlands in there. I'm gonna go with the real LT

562
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: all right. I'm gonna add him to the Texas, all right,

563
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor added to the group. He rushes opposite Whitney

564
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: merciless bumps inside twenty twenty shaping up pretty nice for hey,

565
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: Maybe play games with him and wat you know, get

566
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: some stuff going. That would be kind of nice. That

567
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: would be kind of nice. All right, Mark, you're up

568
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: all you want me to approve the twenty twenty Texans

569
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: with a former Texan haa Texas face in twenty nineteen,

570
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Texan first because I think deb was right.

571
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: You got to gobble these guys up while they last.

572
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: And I think we'll get some help in the secondary

573
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: here and draft former Texan Aaron Glenn, a pro bowler

574
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: who could really help out at the corner spot leader,

575
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: a great coach with the Saints right now in the

576
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: defensive backfield. I like Aaron Glenn on my team. Thank you.

577
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: It's a very very good one that I Aaron Glenn was.

578
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: I had a couple of guys under consideration and he

579
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: was one of them. But you have now taken him

580
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: so I think I'm gonna go a Hall of Famer

581
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: when I'm gonna stay with the same position, Okay, and

582
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: if you're not gonna be able to get there with

583
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: the pass rush pass rush is not ultimately right on par,

584
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: then you gotta be able to cover. And I'm gonna

585
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: take away one half of the field. I want Dion Sanders.

586
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take on my Hall of Famer as

587
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders, and that's gonna be my first rounder. And DP,

588
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: it is now back to you. You have a player

589
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: that Texas face in twenty nineteen and also a Hall

590
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: of Famer. You've taken Andre Johnson. You've probably handled the

591
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: dirty work with that one. Yeah, I'm gonna go Hall

592
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: of Famer too. I like, well, you know, the offensive

593
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: line was a big question heading into twenty nineteen, but

594
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: every time somebody got hurt, we would just hold our

595
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: breaths because we thought there's just not a lot of

596
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: depth there. So I thought, what better than to get

597
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: a guy who played every single positional Matthews. Oh that's good, good,

598
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: that's brilliant. Thanks, that is brilliant. Surprised. No, it's just no, no, no, no,

599
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: we would have we would have done that for anybody's pick,

600
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: but you know, not marks at all. But no, Bruce

601
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: Matthews is perfect because with the ability to play all

602
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: three different positions, and you're right, guys are banged up.

603
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: You just slide Bruce from center to guard or you

604
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: know what, Titus went out, he would have slid right

605
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: over to right tackle. You could have slid somebody back

606
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: into guard or center at that point. So I think

607
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: Bruce Matthews is absolutely brilliant. I'm envious today. Don't come

608
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: up with that team's looking great, Johnny, your team is

609
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: looking fantastic, Award. Can you imagine offensive line with Laramy Tunsil,

610
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: Max Sharp and Nick Martin. You could move Titus back

611
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: inside the guard for Bruce Matthews a tackle. I mean

612
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: he could play right guard, he could play right guard.

613
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: Lead goodness, all right, Drew, you have taken a Hall

614
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: of Famer. You have a retired former Texan or a

615
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: player that Texans faced in twenty nineteen. I don't know

616
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: what the cornerback position is going to look like next year.

617
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: I think the only certainty we know is garyan Conley

618
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: will be back for sure. I mean, there's probably gonna

619
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: be some other faces that are back, but you just

620
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 1: never know, so let's bolster that up. I know in

621
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: the second half he struggled against DeAndre Hopkins, but who

622
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: in the hell has not struggled against DeAndre Hopkins as

623
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: a cornerback. Let's go with Tradavious White from the Bills.

624
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: I thought he had a really good year. He was

625
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: a first team All Pro. Played well in the first

626
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: half against Hopkins. But I'm gonna go with Tavius Okay, Okay,

627
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: he fit in well here, that's pretty good. I'm gonna

628
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: stick with players we faced this year, okay, And based

629
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: on the fact that you've had some injury issues in

630
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver and you have some uncertainty there because of

631
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: those injury issues, and who the heck knows who's gonna

632
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: be on the team in twenty twenty. Because Bill O'Brien's

633
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: making a ton of moves right since he's been in

634
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: charge of these acquisitions, Let's go with this. I want

635
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: to get Michael Thomas on this team along with DeAndre Hopkins,

636
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully I got a healthy Will Fuller

637
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: and whatever else. But I think that's really going to

638
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: help out the passing attacks. So I'll take a player

639
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: of the Texans faced in twenty nineteen. Michael Thomas has

640
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: my second pick in this three round draft. Okay, so

641
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: just to recap real fast, DP, you took Andre Johnson

642
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: Bruce Matthews, So you have a player that we faced

643
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Left Drew, you took a Hall of

644
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: famer and a player we faced in twenty nineteen. You

645
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: have a Texan. Left and Mark. You took a retired

646
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: former Texan and you took a player face in twenty nineteen,

647
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: So you have a Hall of famer. I as I

648
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: looked at this list, I'm like, man, former Texan, Oh boy,

649
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: who could? And then I thought one of the best,

650
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: maybe the best, maybe the best running back that this

651
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: organization has had. Now we ultimately might bring back Carlos Hide,

652
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: and we know Duke Johnson's under contract. But Arian Foster, Yeah,

653
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: in this offense with the Shaun Watson, we'll be downright scary,

654
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: look scary. So I will take as my retired former Texan.

655
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 1: I will take Arian Foster. He and Bill O'Brien worked

656
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: well together. Look at the year Ariyan had with Bill

657
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: O'Brien in twenty fourteen, and it wasn't exactly like a

658
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: parade of Hall of Fame quarterbacks that year. Either. I

659
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: think Arian in this offense, you're right, would be spectacular.

660
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: You could almost just say, look, be a receiver, will

661
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: run hide, yeah, you know, and then you move Arian around.

662
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: I bet you if Arian in his prime are on

663
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: this team, now, you'd have hide and airing in the backfield,

664
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: sometimes the way of Duke Johnson and hide in the backfield,

665
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: or they would do things like that in the bield.

666
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: You could do so many things. My goodness you yeah,

667
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: absolutely so I feel good about that. Arian Foster is

668
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: my pick. All right, Dpe, last round, last pick, you

669
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: took Andre Johnson, retired former Texan. You took Hall of

670
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: Famer Bruce Matthews. You have a player that we faced

671
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen to add to the list, your list,

672
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: here's the long list, because the Texans place played some

673
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: very very very good players in twenty nineteen. But I

674
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,240
Speaker 1: gotta go defense since I went offense in my first

675
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: two rounds, and I'm gonna do the guys in the

676
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: locker room a solid because I wanted to draft someone

677
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: that they all got along with, that they liked, and

678
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do us a solid because I want Houston

679
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: Texans dot Com and Texans Radio to get clicks on

680
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: clicks on clicks. So you know me, I like some

681
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: entertainment value. Oh, I know where you're going, locker room.

682
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: I've interviewed him where you're going. I really really really

683
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: would like to see Jalen Ramsey and he was with

684
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: the Jaguars when we played him earlier this year. Pick

685
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 1: that was gonna I was gonna double up on my corners.

686
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna go I was gonna go Dion Sanders

687
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramsey. I was gonna go Knolls on Knolls

688
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: on my corners. There's some good corners. Just lock it

689
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: up and put those two together with Garant Conley. But

690
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: you just stole that from me, dB, that was an

691
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: excellent pick. I knew our website would just explode. We

692
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: get Watson, we get Hopkins, we get we get Jalen Ramsey.

693
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: They're all buds. We could put mics on them. That

694
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: would be fantastic, and then the season would start and

695
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: we couldn't do anything. Debe that's pretty good, Andre Johnson,

696
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: Bruce after Jalen Ramsay, Drew you're up. You have a

697
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: retired former Texan. Yeah, after drafting Lawrence Taylor on the edge,

698
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: Tevious White at the corner, who is your final pick? Well,

699
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: I backed myself into a corner on this one. I

700
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: think the three most likely and most viable options as

701
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: former Texans. You guys all took him. Yep, Okay, So

702
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,479
Speaker 1: what else do you really need? I guess I'm gonna

703
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: go with who's the best tex in the play that's retired,

704
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: that's left, and I gotta go with Mario Williams. So

705
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just add him, and I'm gonna double down

706
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: on the pass rush. You can never have too many

707
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: of it or too much of it. So I'll put

708
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: him out there. You can play defensive n you can

709
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: stand him up at outside linebacker kind of between her.

710
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: Let's make that happen. Mario Williams. So I've got Mario.

711
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna have a much argument from

712
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people. I've got the greatest ever Lawrence Taylor.

713
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: And it's pretty good. Pretty good Corners White, that's pretty good.

714
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: That's very good. As a matter of fact, all right, Mark,

715
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: you have because I like the offense. The game's gotta

716
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: be well, we're drafting for a whole season, right, you

717
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: need a lot of Monday night games because Monday Night

718
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: Mario was better than prop Time Mariotime. This team, with

719
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: this tea would do a lot of primtime games. Yeaheah,

720
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: we would get a lot of games. Mark, you have

721
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn, who's your retired former Texan. You have Michael

722
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: Thomas that you have had it did DeAndre Hopkins, Kenny Stills,

723
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 1: and Will Floor. You now have a Hall of Famer

724
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: post nineteen seventy merger. All right, Look, I could go

725
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: um boring one a really interesting one. Which one do

726
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: you want? Well? You knew we want the interesting one? Yeah, alright,

727
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: So Joyce, is this really your question? So you're tempted

728
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: by the boring one? Which is I was tempted. It's

729
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: not boring? Who's the boring really going to help? You?

730
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: Want to both names? Bruce Smith? I would have picked

731
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith. How's that boring? I want to be I

732
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: want to have some pizzas. Actually, it's more exciting to

733
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: me to draft Kellen Winzo Senior. All right, because I

734
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: think that you're getting production out of the tight ends.

735
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. But this dude in this era with

736
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: the Shawn Watson, if I get about it, Okay, he

737
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: was putting up gargantuan numbers when they could hit the

738
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: snot out of people, and he was the tight end

739
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 1: who revolutionized the position in the early eighties, late seventies.

740
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: I like Kelen Winslow on this football team, senior, not

741
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: the Miami one. The soldier right, not the soldier on

742
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: the Revolutionary one. Yes, Kellen Winslow. Okay, so Mark, you

743
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: finished with Aaron Glenn, Michael Thomas Kellen Winslow Senior. I

744
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: have a player the Texans faced in twenty nineteen and

745
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: it was close to them not facing this player. The

746
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: week before he had missed the game, and there was

747
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about him potentially. Is he gonna

748
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: be available? He's been banged up, his opposite number had

749
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: been hurt all year. Where they gonna be able to

750
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: get pass rush afterwards? Maybe? Okay, I'm gonna take Denver

751
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: Bronco edge rusher. I know he's up in years, but

752
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: he's still had some juice. I'm taking Von Miller and

753
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: putting him on this team. Yeah, you wanted to put

754
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: some aggies back on this team. Didn't you, Johnny, Uh,

755
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: well we did. We did need a few aggies and

756
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: Mark got Mark got one. I did. Let's see, No

757
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: you got one, Bruce math I'm sorry. I'm thinking of

758
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: the old the youngest, Jake Matthews. He's got a connection

759
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: to the Aggies, right, Aaron Glenn Aggie Miller Aggie so

760
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: very nice. Uh I, As I look at this, I

761
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: think deepe one Deep's is pretty good. What does she have?

762
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: She had Andre Johnson, Bruce Matthews and Jalen Ramsey. I

763
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: just gotta say, guys, when you have the number one pick,

764
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 1: it's a lot of pressure, so it's very easy to fail.

765
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: So I am very proud of myself for not failing. You.

766
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: Did you want to go against the defense that has J. J. Watt,

767
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor, Mario Williams up front? I mean Drew just

768
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: went straight up. He had two heads is in a corner,

769
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: just went straight up. What you gonna do? You better

770
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: get the quarterback. I mean, I don't have a problem

771
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: at all with what Drew did, not whatsoever. I mean

772
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: a pass rush. Your pass rush is Lawrence Taylor coming

773
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: from the edge with Watt and Mario Williams and here's

774
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: what you can do. So you have the two defensive players,

775
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: the only two in history to win Defensive Player of

776
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: the Year. Three you get six Defensive Player of the

777
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: Year awards between yah. So you put it so you

778
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: put Eltie outside, Whitney outside, you put Mario and Watt inside. Yeah,

779
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: that's not half bad. That's not half bad. Mark. You

780
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: went with lockdown corner Aaron Glenn. Then you went with Saints.

781
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: There's a Saints connection there, Michael Thomas, wide receiver team

782
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: with Andre Hopkins, Shawn Watson, Will Fuller, and Kenny Stills.

783
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: And then you went with tight end Kellen Winslow, the original,

784
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: which would have been very interesting for Can you imagine that?

785
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: That have been very interesting mine? I ended up with

786
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: prime time Dion Sanders. I drafted Arian Foster's my retired

787
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: former Texan, and then I went with von Miller off

788
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: the edge. Uh, von Miller off the edge. You know,

789
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 1: he didn't have a great twenty nineteen. He still got juice.

790
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: But I just felt as far as guys off the

791
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: edge that still impact the game. You put Vaughan opposite

792
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: Whitney with wide inside of your pass rush is pretty dark.

793
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. I was nobody took joy Bosa. You know,

794
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: I love Joey Bosa, but against US, he really didn't

795
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: do a lot. Neither did neither did Ingram. Ingram and

796
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: Bosa didn't do a whole lot against US, So that

797
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: game kind of shot. I shied away from that, uh

798
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: for that particular reason. But and that was the first

799
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: game of the Texans offensive line. We think we're gonna

800
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: see it for a while. I'll tell you a guy

801
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: that I actually consider, but I just think he's probably

802
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: a year away. But as a rookie, he might have

803
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: been one of the best rookies we faced. That was

804
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: Max Crosby from on Eastern Michigan him ninety eight for

805
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders. He was phenomenal against us. He was really good.

806
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: He was really good. And I considered that because that

807
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: would have been way way out left field. And I

808
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: also considered Quinnon Nelson too, But I just couldn't take

809
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: no Derrick Henry. At least you get him out of

810
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: off the Titans roster and onto yours. Yeah, that's true.

811
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: I just feel like with Arian Foster, I've got more.

812
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: I've got more than I can do with Arian Foster

813
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: than I can with Derrick Henry. That was kind of

814
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: the reason I wanted to go with Aaron. What about

815
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Well, that's interesting. We did see him. No, nope,

816
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: that's true. We did see him in He did have

817
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: a fantastic game against US Gang. Nice job. Thank you

818
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: very much. All Right, that's gonna do it. A big

819
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: thanks to DP, to Drew, to Mark, all of you

820
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: for listening. We'll see tomorrow and as always, go Texas.
