00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: more game left, calling against the Rams on Saturday. That

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,360

Speaker 2: Training Camp's over and then you start getting ready for

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: the regular season.

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Can't wait for that.

18
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: Also, can't wait for my man Andre where to join

19
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: Mark and myself.

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: And he does it right here.

21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 3: Stroud calls for the ball in his end zone, looking

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: scanning the field, throwing over the middle, and Shultz took

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: that twenty dives forward twenty five down at the twenty

24
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: eight yard line. Dn't need Schultz wide open in the

25
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 3: middle of a field Pinnock with the stuff. You know,

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: when Dre says hmm, you know, it's oh yeah, you know,

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: it's something good. And that was a good throw and

28
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 3: that was Stroud just knowing that he had enough time

29
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: to make that throw and execute, get them out of

30
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: the shadow of the goal post and move on. Andre,

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 3: nice throw there, Nice game by Stroud, good performance first

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 3: team offense, but the running game needs to click better

33
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: with that unit overall. What were your thoughts following Saturday's game.

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I text you guys, it's no secret as to

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 4: why the Chiefs start the season the way they do

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 4: it is because they play their starters. They get guys ready,

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 4: they ramp up to the regular season, and if guys

38
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: aren't playing, and I'm gonna get to your question, Yeah,

39
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: it's hard to kind of build chemistry, especially on the

40
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 4: offensive line in the running game. So until you get

41
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: all five pieces of the offensive line in, you don't

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: know what it's going to look like. Because you have

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 4: guys now that might have to play for you in

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 4: a pinch or at times, and as you're building depths

45
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 4: for the season, but you don't know until Laramie's back

46
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: and with just one guy out.

47
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 5: That makes a difference on the offensive line. Those guys have.

48
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 4: To click and we say fingers in the globe. That's

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 4: how they have to work together.

50
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: Trey, what do you think of CJ overall?

51
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously he hits Digs, he hits Collins, he

52
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: HiT's on that throw out of the end zone.

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: He hit Dalton Schultz, he hit Bred a couple of.

54
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: Times, a little bit of a movement, didn't didn't get

55
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: one in the end zone on that drive. But I

56
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: don't want to say anything care about that, but it

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: really didn't because it felt like every other three, including

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: the one to Tank that didn't count, it felt like

59
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: he was completely and totally dialed in on Saturday. What

60
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: were your thoughts about just CJ himself throwing the football.

61
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, he he seems to have benefited and.

62
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 5: I would have hated for slow it to leave after

63
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 5: just one year.

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 4: Even though it may be it may be the same system,

65
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: it may be the same play calls, same terminology, all

66
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: of it.

67
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 5: It's just different when somebody when you're hearing it from

68
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 5: someone else. So I think.

69
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 4: That it starts with that because he's had a foundation

70
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 4: in which to build on a lot of guys don't.

71
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 4: When you have successful seasons, some coordinator or some element

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 4: quarterback coach or whatever it will step in or actually

73
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 4: leave and then somebody else has got to step in.

74
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 4: That is I can't tell you how important that is,

75
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 4: especially to a young quarterback like CJ.

76
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 5: So you take that, you take what now the.

77
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: Weapons have been. He's been surrounded by weapons. Four guys.

78
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 4: I think on that drive that you just described, car passes,

79
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: so he's spreading the ball around.

80
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 5: This is what it's gonna look like.

81
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 4: And there won't be a real number one because you've

82
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: got really three three bodies that could be a number one.

83
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: A lot of teams, not many teams have that luxury.

84
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: And it's gonna be somebody every weekend that's game plan

85
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 4: for that's gonna have a big week and they just

86
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: got to get used to it.

87
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: You know, we were joking last week about rostertology and

88
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: last three in and first three out as far as

89
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: those final three receiver spots and who knows if it's

90
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 3: really three, if it's gonna.

91
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 6: Be five that they keep or seven, who knows.

92
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: But I thought Mechi made a really strong case for

93
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 3: himself because there's been a lot of talk outside the building.

94
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 6: What's gonna happen with Mechi?

95
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: Well, Xavier Hutchinson's playing so well, had a great Hall

96
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: of Fame game, good camp for Xavier. You know, reliable

97
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 3: Robert Woods can do what he can do. You have

98
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: other weapons as well, Steven Simms hard to ignore. But

99
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: what do you think of John Metchi and what he

100
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: did on Saturday afternoon?

101
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 4: I thought he had an outstanding game. I thought he

102
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: made a case for about locking up a spot on

103
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: this team.

104
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 5: So I was very impressed with what he did.

105
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: He was provided some opportunities early, and you talk about

106
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 4: stepped up, he stepped up and in my opinion, seized

107
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 4: the roster spot. And that's that's one room that I

108
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: don't want to have to make. I wouldn't want to

109
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: have to make a decision on who stays and who goes,

110
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: because somebody's gonna go and they're gonna be picked up

111
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 4: immediately because they're just too many teams looking for quality

112
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 4: of receivers and there are a bunch of them with

113
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: the Texans, and.

114
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: We don't even know what Noah Brown's injury status is.

115
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: And that has done some good things for this team.

116
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: You know, Ben's Cronick's injury status. Something's injury because he

117
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: was out last week. And those are guys both that

118
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: play on special teams and that obviously from receiver four

119
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: five six.

120
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean you got to have that on special teams

121
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: and Dre.

122
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if Saturday wasn't kind of the same

123
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: thing for the running back group to see cam Akers

124
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: run the rock the way that he did escaping out

125
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: that backside run, and then the two rookies to our

126
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 2: Jordan British Brooks JJ Taylor popped that long run. I

127
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 2: know he was caught by Chapman, but JJ had to

128
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: slow down. But I guarantee you today in film or

129
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: yesterday in film, j J was going to catch me

130
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: do that.

131
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he's JJ got worn out in film.

132
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah he got worn out.

133
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Arian Fosters get worn out by his guys.

134
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: I remember him telling me that. So, how do you

135
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: break down the running back room and how many do

136
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: you think they're gonna end up taking? This is for

137
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: both y'all. How many running backs do you think they keep?

138
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: And you think the three or four they do keep?

139
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: Do you think all those guys are on the roster

140
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: right now?

141
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 7: Well?

142
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: A lot of them don't play special teams or will

143
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: have some will have to. Obviously that's been Darre's niche

144
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: as to how he's hung around here, and now he's

145
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 4: finally gotten an opportunity with the offense to show that

146
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: he's he could be a third downback, a guy that

147
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: can work himself open out of the backfield, and he's

148
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 4: reliable with his hands.

149
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 5: So I don't know if that eats up a spot.

150
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 4: Or allows you to keep an extra When you have

151
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: a guy like that that can also play special teams,

152
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 4: I certainly got to bode well for him, but I

153
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 4: don't know if it does it for the others. I

154
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: don't know they have they ever kept Mark John three

155
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: or four running backs?

156
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 6: I want to say I can have.

157
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 5: I can count.

158
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 4: Three real quick with mixing akers and a goombawale. But

159
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: after that, uh, Jawar Jordan has made a case to

160
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: be on this team, and so, uh, how do you

161
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: hide a guy like that that's had a successful training

162
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: camp as well as preseason.

163
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 5: I don't know that you can't.

164
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: And sometimes that's just the nature of the beast because

165
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 4: you're gonna you're so talented as a team that you

166
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: got to cut quality players.

167
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: What we don't know is what is the health status

168
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: of Andrew Beck. You know, we saw him leave the

169
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: practice field last week. We were he was right in

170
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: front of us, right, Johnny, and I don't know what

171
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: it is. Doctor Vandermer cannot speculate on this one.

172
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm willing to.

173
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 6: Speculate sometimes, but I just can't. I don't know.

174
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: I'd love to see him back this week because the

175
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: full back position we've seen some dividends paid. Beck had

176
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: a big year last year and he wasn't entirely healthy

177
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: for the entire campaign. Uh, what has Troy Harriston done

178
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 3: in their eyes to him? Press if Beck can't go,

179
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: or if you have to pop him or whatever they

180
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: need to do. And I'm not saying they do, but again,

181
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: we need these questions answered.

182
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 6: This week.

183
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: We'll tell us a lot on the throw to Nico Collins,

184
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: who is playing full back? They lined up in the

185
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: ifirmation who's playing full back?

186
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 6: Was it Brev?

187
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: It was Kate Stover?

188
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 6: Kate Stover playing full back?

189
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: So to me, the full back one becomes this really

190
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: interesting amalgamation of all right, well, Brice Brooks looks pretty

191
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: good and it wasn't just in the preseason game. He's been, hey,

192
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: do you keep British Brooks on practice squad and say,

193
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: eat a lot of Houston barbecue, get the two thirty five.

194
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: Maybe use him in a full back role. Brev's played

195
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: that full back.

196
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: Role, Kate Stover was playing it on that particular drive.

197
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: So Dre, it's to your point. You talked about Darry

198
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: and making a team. He made it because of special teams.

199
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: But it might ultimately be that fullback spot where you go, hey,

200
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 2: how many different guys do we have that could play

201
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: full back?

202
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: Because the Texans, I think you.

203
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: The full back top five in the league, so little

204
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: use that guy and maybe it is back. Maybe that's

205
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: the guy you go with, but you don't know his

206
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: injury status. But Drew, how difficult could it be to

207
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 2: maybe teach one of those other guys to play that

208
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: fullback spot?

209
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: So it does open up a spot on the roster.

210
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: I think I ought to wonder why Dari hasn't, you know,

211
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 4: kind of crossed in the both both worlds, and I

212
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 4: don't think it would be hard to teach him at all.

213
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: I mean, he is a football player with a very

214
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 4: high IQ that picks up things quickly. And I think

215
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 4: that's how he's gotten to stay around here as long

216
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 4: as he has. And then now he's made himself, you know,

217
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 4: a valuable asset to the team, and so I think

218
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 4: he could switch and be that you know, lead blocker

219
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: at times when you need it, and it gives you

220
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 4: two backs in the backfield at times, just a different

221
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: look for the defense to have to think about something

222
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 4: they with him being such a sound ball cat, you know,

223
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 4: a receiver out of the backfield. So I don't think

224
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 4: it'd be hard to co Burt. It might take a

225
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: year or so to put that much, you know, some

226
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 4: pounds on British Brooks.

227
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 5: But I don't know.

228
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: I've just been really really impressed with Jordan and we'll

229
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: see if if it works out.

230
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see the full back position. By the way,

231
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: I harken back to when they lost Vonte Leach after

232
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 3: twenty ten and he goes to Baltimore and then what

233
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: do they do? Don't they do a combination thing the

234
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 3: James Casey Casey plays a bunch of fullback. There was

235
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: somebody else in there that they have.

236
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 4: Well, Schultz has played it at times during the season.

237
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 4: He's lined up back there.

238
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they can do some different things if they

239
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: have to, because you know Beck is a Swiss army

240
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: knife himself.

241
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah sure.

242
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: And again the health situation weighs into it heavily. We're

243
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: two weeks away, Dre from game week against the Colts,

244
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: so Labor days in two weeks, that's when you're full

245
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 3: go prepping. I mean you're already there before that, but

246
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: that's when you're in game week mode.

247
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 4: For the Indian, the opener, the luxury that they're gonna

248
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 4: have at that position. Though, if Beck's not ready to go,

249
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 4: Detroy Harrison is an NFL fullback, so they could they

250
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: could do what they have to do, uh with Beck

251
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 4: for an.

252
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 5: Extended time where they're a feeling like they're trying to

253
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 5: rush him back.

254
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 4: You go ahead and give him a number of weeks

255
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 4: and then Harrison's your fullback until he returns one hundred healthy.

256
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 4: So there's some flexibility I think they have there with

257
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 4: those two dre.

258
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: We talked about it in the last segment because you

259
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 2: heard from Jalen Petrie after the game at the pick

260
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: he was in the right position, Johnny on the spot.

261
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's a whole.

262
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: Lot to take out of that, but he has the

263
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: he has the TfL. Nobody really blocked him, but he

264
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 2: breaks down and makes a solid tackle. Then there was

265
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: one run play where he absolutely hammered illumin Or like

266
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: a heat seeking missile, knocked basically knocked illumin Or three

267
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: yards back and helped on the tackle. And then he

268
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 2: made the tackle on the flat on Singletary after a

269
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: one yard catch, didn't miss the tackle, knocked him out.

270
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: That's a play that.

271
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: Can go from one yard and turn into ten if

272
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: he misses that tackle. I feel like Jalen Petrie taking

273
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: his game up to a different level. Dre takes this

274
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: defense to a whole different stratosphere if he's able to

275
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: do that like we saw on Saturday.

276
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: Your thoughts about Jalen Petrie, Yeah.

277
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: I think I think Jalen is the type of player

278
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 4: this year that is.

279
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 5: Gaining more by doing less.

280
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 4: And I think after his first year he had that

281
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 4: really good rookie season.

282
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 5: I don't know if the system was was.

283
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 4: That kind of clouded for him, but he wanted he

284
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: also wanted to knock people out and so he wasn't

285
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 4: wrapping up and what I saw this weekend was him

286
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: breaking down wrapping up, making secure tackles, and being his

287
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 4: aggressive self. So this is the best I've seen of Peecher.

288
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 4: He probably since his rookie year, to be quite honest.

289
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 6: Very nice.

290
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: Hey, just as a side note here, Brian Dable calls

291
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 3: you up and says, Hey, Andre, what advice can you

292
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: give me about Daniel Jones? What do I do about

293
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: my quarterbacks?

294
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 6: Hang up?

295
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 4: Sorry, you gotta give Daniel Jones some easy throws. And Uh,

296
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 4: he's coming back from a knee injury.

297
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 5: He's got to get over that.

298
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 4: And so in the preseason I thought it was a

299
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 4: good deal that they let him play through the two

300
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 4: interceptions and continue to play for a little while. But

301
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 4: you got to give him some easy throws and ease

302
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 4: him back into this thing.

303
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 5: Uh.

304
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 4: He's the guy that I would play next week because

305
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 4: he needs snaps.

306
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 5: He needs to have his confidence restored.

307
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 4: So we've got to We've got to remember that that

308
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 4: there there, he's that pinned down close to the gold line.

309
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 4: Guys are flying around his knees and it's early in

310
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 4: the game. Uh, you know, I might excuse that one, Drean.

311
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: I don't know how you felt about joint practice, but

312
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: this week and we don't know the status yet of

313
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: Matt Stafin.

314
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 5: You know I feel about joint practice.

315
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: Go ahead, I know, I know, but I figured I

316
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: wanted to talk more about Stafford than I did the

317
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 2: joint practice.

318
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: But I don't know if he's going to practice.

319
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: That said, if he does, what does this defense gather

320
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: and gain in facing Matt Stafford versus I mean they

321
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: faced Jimmy Garoppolo, who cares. But getting the opportunity to

322
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: have at least one practice against Matt Stafford, what does

323
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: it do for this defense?

324
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: I know, I know how you feel about Matt Stafford.

325
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 5: For sure, they may see stetsonb Bennett the whole game.

326
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 4: I think both guys are banged up a little bit,

327
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: so I don't know if efforts. I don't think he's

328
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 4: going to play this weekend, so certainly you would want

329
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 4: to get him a little bit of work if he's

330
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 4: healthy enough to take some shots.

331
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 5: But what the defense gets from facing him is you know.

332
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: You're looking at a veteran quarterback that you have to

333
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 4: make adjustments to his adjustment and if you're seeing that

334
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 4: in practice, and those guys know he knows that system

335
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: now where he can get them in the right situation.

336
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 5: Now it's the lesser or two evils.

337
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: What are we going to give up to minimize what

338
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 4: a veteran quarterback can get to? The ball's coming out quicker,

339
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 4: It's gonna be accurate. He's got one of the top

340
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 4: five arms in the league. And so if you can

341
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: work against that stuff, and then what do you do when.

342
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 5: The ball is coming out quickly?

343
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 4: Defensive lineman can shoot their hands up, try to get

344
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: tall and get in his throwing lanes. And then defensive

345
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 4: backs trying to time up win to break on certain

346
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 4: balls against guys that have that kind of bet low.

347
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 6: All right, it's time to play true or false.

348
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: What do you think? How true is this statement? Or

349
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: maybe it's a sizzle fire rating? Johnny evaluate. Okay, Mason Rudolph,

350
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, will start at least six games for

351
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: the Tennessee Titans this year.

352
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: Oh, that's like a one and a half.

353
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 5: I'll go I'll go.

354
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 6: True, Okay, true.

355
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know last year he played well for the

356
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: Steelers four games down the stretch, seventy four.

357
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: Go ahead, and Levins has an injury history, so you

358
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 4: know he's he's not It's not a guarantee that he's

359
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 4: gonna make all seventeen games for the Titans. So I

360
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 4: think I think it's true that he'll see at least

361
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 4: six of it, that's for sure.

362
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: And I think he can manage that offense at Callahan offense.

363
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: I think he could do just fine with that. He's

364
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: a high percentage thrower. They can do some things with

365
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: the running game. As long as they can do some

366
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: things with the running game, he'll be okay.

367
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think one of the things though,

368
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: I mean they've they've added some offensive linemen. I mean,

369
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: they're still gonna play a rookie left tackle on jac Latham.

370
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: Skronsky's in his second year, Christian Barry is in his

371
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: second year. So that offensive line is getting it's getting better.

372
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: But we know the Will Levis experience and what is it.

373
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: He holds the ball too long and that just leads

374
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: to you're taking more hits. Mason Rudolph's not going to

375
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: do that. So I think I almost border on giving

376
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: it once is a fire, but I'll give it, I'll

377
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: give it one and a half. I'll give it that

378
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: extra half a sizzle fire for sure. But yeah, I'm

379
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: with Dre. I think, and to be honest, I don't

380
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: know that i'd want to face Mason Rudolph. Look, he's

381
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: not the greatest quarterback in the world, but a guy

382
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: that just I know, it's you know, short completions, kind

383
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: of dinks and dunction and all of a sudden, it's

384
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: third and three and he completes a little, you know,

385
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: a little short route to hop and it's like somebody

386
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: takes off.

387
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 5: He's scary.

388
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 4: He's scary guys because he's got nothing to lose. And

389
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: that's how he's playing. He's playing like a guy that

390
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 4: has nothing to lose, and he's been out of the

391
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 4: league and I get you know.

392
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 5: You signed re signed me.

393
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna come in here and fling it around.

394
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 4: And that's what he did. Uh last year he built

395
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: some confidence doing it, and now he's please play him

396
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 4: that way, and so yeah, he's he's scary.

397
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 5: When when you guy didn't have anything to lose.

398
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I got one for both of you. This we've

399
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 2: we talked about CJS. We talked a lot of quarterbacking,

400
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: but we may be burying one.

401
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: Of the leads.

402
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: Okay, what are we doing at number three quarterback? We

403
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: saw it right there on Saturday. No, Davis Mills, Nick

404
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: told me. You guys heard it in the pregame interview. Hey,

405
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: Davis Mills is our backup quarterback. I mean, I think

406
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: Davis has got to that point feeling really solidified. I

407
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 2: know there's been report about an injury or what. We

408
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: don't know, but Davis has been really good at training camp.

409
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: Nick confirmed that, Hey, he's our backup quarterback.

410
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: Right.

411
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: We got to figure out number three, and that's why

412
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: we saw in practice Boyle and Keenum keep him and

413
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 2: Boyle after CJ.

414
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: You thoughts about what them did on Saturday.

415
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 4: Haven't we been in this spot before where he came

416
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 4: out of camp and he was the number two, and

417
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 4: then they need CJ was gonna miss a game here

418
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 4: or there, two games and then all of a sudden,

419
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 4: the shift was the case to go win those two.

420
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 4: So I think it's the exact same situation if they

421
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 4: if they're gonna lose CJ for a significant amount of time,

422
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 4: then it's probably Davis Mills.

423
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 5: If it's a game or two to get you through,

424
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 5: it's Case Keenum.

425
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel that.

426
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 5: I think I think.

427
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 4: Case did enough the other night to where he solidified

428
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: being back this year in the team's third quarterback.

429
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're making me pick among my children here.

430
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: But you know, I like Tim Boyle, I really do.

431
00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 5: I like him as well.

432
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 3: If they want to keep Tim Boyle around, if they

433
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 3: wanted to eat up a practice squad spot, they could

434
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: do it. They could go with the three on the

435
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: roster and keep Timmy on the practice squad. If you

436
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 3: put Keenum on the practice squad, he's getting scooped up.

437
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 3: He's getting scopped up by somebody. Yeah, so you could

438
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: get away with Boil on the practice squad and go

439
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: with four again because you did it.

440
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 6: Late last year.

441
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 3: Hey, uh, pardon me for doing Uh, hey, what's going

442
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 3: on with this situation on the air. But why did

443
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson play for the Colts the other night?

444
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: Why didn't he?

445
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 5: Yeah?

446
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: Uh, because he had joined practices against the Cardinals. That's

447
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 2: That's the only thing I can think of. That's the

448
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: only thing I can think.

449
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 5: Of is that.

450
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 4: Now you know why I hate the joint practices. Even

451
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 4: if you have them, you know, there's still not like

452
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 4: being in the game. You have to get adjusted to

453
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 4: game time stuck game time rhythm, and.

454
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 5: You know, with the time he missed last year. That

455
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 5: that's an appsce.

456
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 4: He would play in all three of them, and you guys,

457
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 4: protect him.

458
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 5: This is our franchise quarterback. Don't let any don't let

459
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 5: him get dirty.

460
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 4: But he would have to have some reps just to

461
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 4: know that, you know, you're seeing what you're seeing in

462
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 4: real action rather than a simulated you know this, that

463
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 4: and the other through through joint practice.

464
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 3: And more like in within the show, show prep. Where's Flecco?

465
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: Is it he on their team?

466
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 8: Is?

467
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

468
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 5: He played last week, but they have three other guys.

469
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: What are they doing?

470
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 2: Well, they're doing the same thing probably that we were

471
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: doing the other day. They know Flaccos the backup, so

472
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: he got some reps. Hey, listen, don't kill the messenger.

473
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you.

474
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 6: I'm just telling you what I I think.

475
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: I like it.

476
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 6: Don't play him, don't play them at all.

477
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: I know he was rusty as all get out against

478
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: the Broncos in the first one. Speaking of Broncos Nicks coming,

479
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: you know, I kind of like those uniforms.

480
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: Do you like him?

481
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 6: I kind of like it.

482
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 4: The free season, I know he's playing backups and this

483
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 4: then the other wait till week one, and uh, let's

484
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,240

Speaker 6: A good game? I know.

490
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 4: I thought that was reserved for all things, Notre Dame

491
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 4: that they were they.

492
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,840

Speaker 1: Great to catch up with Andre.

501
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 2: I know that Saturday will be the last one that

00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: I will be away from the guys, Mark and Andre,

503

Speaker 2: but'll be back together for Colts Week one up in Indianapolis.

504
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: The scene of the crime.

505
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 2: I don't know crime so much is we just stole

506
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: our hearts and stopped on them week eighteen. So it'll

515
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: didn't happen from the Texans side, that happened from the

516
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: Giant side, and it just it listened laughter throughout the

517
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 2: broadcast and on into the weekend.

518
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: We'll discuss that next right here in Texans All Access.

519
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: Welcome back to this Monday itation of Texans All Access

520
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: from the Monday Texans Radio studio. I am your host,

521
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter and during preseason games

00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 2: up into booth alongside my man nd Kalu. Andy, you'll

523
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: join us at eight point thirty every single Texans Monday.

524
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 2: And I love it talking about path during the games.

525
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: It's so fun, Like during the breaks, it's even more fun,

526
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: especially when Brian Burns did something. We'll get to that

527
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: in just a second, but we had a great time

528
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 2: talking and d take your listen, Mark, me and n

529
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: d klue.

530
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 3: All right, I said it was a statement game for

531
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 3: John Metchi.

532
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 6: True or false? Do you agree?

533
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 5: No?

534
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 8: Definitely I agree one. And not only was this great

535
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 8: to see, we all know what John Betchi's been through,

536
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 8: but when we were talking about that position group, the

537
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 8: wide receiver position group, and their their room and how

538
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 8: deep it is. When I had a chance to reflect

539
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 8: on what Metchi did, it wasn't just good for his

540
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 8: chances to make this team. If he doesn't, and it's

541
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 8: the NFL, it happens, there's only fifty three rosters. It's

542
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 8: awesome to see that he puts something on the film

543
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 8: that's probably going to allow him to land somewhere when

544
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 8: the season starts.

545
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was was pretty impressive, and obviously I neither

546
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: a lot of things you and I talked about on the.

547
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: Broadcast that were great.

548
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: Five takeaways, ran for over one hundred yards, gave up

549
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: seventy fourth, and he was third.

550
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: Duncn versions really really well. Mark, I talked about the numbers.

551
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: What is your biggest concern right now?

552
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 2: Because I take a negative, I don't mean to take

553
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 2: a negative, but there are things that this team can't

554
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 2: improve on in your eyes, indeed, what do you think

555
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: one or two of those are that they really got

556
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: to rectify before we get to the Colts some week one.

557
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 8: You know, it's not being negative. You want to evaluate

558
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 8: the team. You don't want it to be you know,

559
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 8: all butterflies and rainbows. You know that every team out there,

560
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 8: even if you're the Kansas City Chiefs, you have something

561
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 8: to approve upon before the season gets started. And for me,

562
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 8: it's still the run defense. You know, it's the running

563
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 8: game in general. It's the run defense. I saw too

564
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 8: many big gaps in between the guards on the first team,

565
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 8: second team and thirteen, and then on the flip side.

566
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 8: I didn't see enough of those exposive plays on the ground.

567
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 8: You know, we did have some explosive plays late in

568
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 8: the game, but I really wanted to see Damian Pierce

569
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 8: kind of get that ten yard run, get that fifteen

570
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 8: yard run where he's breaking the tackle and showing what

571
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 8: he did his rookie season. But John to answer a question,

572
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 8: just the run game in general. But since I'm a

573
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 8: defensive guy, I just want to see more guys up

574
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 8: front gap integrity and stuff run and not allow those

575
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 8: five ten yard pickups.

576
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 3: Well, you tell me about the Brian Burns spin move

577
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: that wow, the action because he was watching the ball

578
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 3: or whatever.

579
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what, this is one of those things.

580
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 8: I think maybe John and I enjoy it more than

581
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 8: most fans because we love what goes on in the trenches.

582
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 8: But I saw when it happened Mark, and just to

583
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 8: give the Texas spin on it, that's great for Blake

584
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 8: Fisher to experience that. You know, he goes against Will Anderson,

585
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 8: he goes against Daniel Hunter, two.

586
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 5: Very good edge players.

587
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 8: But to play another edge player who brings in another

588
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 8: dynamic that's only going to help Blake Fisher. But man,

589
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 8: when you talk about excitement to see Brian Burns fake

590
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 8: like he was stunning inside, then the speed of the

591
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 8: outside spin. A lot of defensive line coaches they don't

592
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 8: like the outside spin. They like the Dwight Freeney inside spin.

593
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 8: But for him to make that spin as fast as

594
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 8: he was able to and still get pressure on the quarterback.

595
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 8: If that wasn't a quick release, it would have been

596
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 8: a sack. And look when I saw it live, I

597
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 8: try to explain it to John. John sent me the

598
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 8: video and I just sat in my car watching the

599
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 8: video for like thirty minutes because I just really enjoyed

600
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 8: seeing that play.

601
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 3: I just watched it four times, I know, because it's quick,

602
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: so you can do that while you're talking and I

603
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 3: just a listening to you describe it was interesting.

604
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 6: Do you want to spend if if.

605
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 3: You're Blake and you kind of cheat to the outside

606
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 3: or shade to the outside, He's just gonna kill you inside, right,

607
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: I mean, it's picked your poison at that point.

608
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

609
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know if you if you're Blake Fishery,

610
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 8: I don't know if you really change your technique or

611
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 8: the way you block because of that play. And that's

612
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 8: where film study comes in, and it's very important if

613
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 8: you're If I'm whoever, I don't know who the Giants

614
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 8: open up with. But if I'm bad offensive tackle and

615
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 8: I see that move, then I know, Okay, this guy

616
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 8: can do it. But in my opinion, and I'm curious

617
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 8: again John's take, I don't know if Blake Fisher's just

618
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 8: spent too much time if the d events that he's

619
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 8: uh he's facing having shown that move trying to block it,

620
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 8: because like you said, Mark, it's just going to open

621
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 8: up the inside.

622
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 2: It's like one of those things where a guy does

623
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: something so unique, like he's so twitchy.

624
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: Brian Burns.

625
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: I mean the Giants paid him what twenty eight to

626
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: thirty million dollars a year or whatever it is to

627
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: be an outside Russia.

628
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: It's so unique. You're like, who does that? Who outside spins?

629
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: And this is one of the things that Indy and

630
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: I talked about during a break, like who in the

631
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: NFL would do that?

632
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: And Andy was like Miles.

633
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: Like Miles Garrett, Yeah, like yeah, I think Miles could

634
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: probably pull it off because the thing. The other thing

635
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: about it is nobody spins outside like you don't spin

636
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: outside because it just your momentum is taking you, seemingly

637
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 2: taking you away from the quarterback.

638
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: But Burns was.

639
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: So good that when he spawn, he immediately dipped the inside.

640
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: Shoulder and was right at CJ on a three step drop.

641
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, incredible.

642
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: It just it was kind of my I'm blowing from

643
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: that extent along those lines in d Texas obviously doing

644
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,479
Speaker 2: Brian Burns, but they have a front that can get

645
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 2: some pressure on a quarterback when you have a when

646
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: you have a defensive back like Derek Stingly, that you know,

647
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: kind of takes up one half of the field as

648
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: a defensive lineman. Does that play into your thought process

649
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 2: at all? That, Hey, I know I've got him behind me.

650
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: I know I can get to the quarterback and maybe

651
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: that quarterback will hold it a little bit longer.

652
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: Because he doesn't want to throw at that guy. How

653
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: important is.

654
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: It for defensive lineman to know, Hey, I got Derek

655
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 2: Stingley behind me.

656
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: He can erase any of my mistakes.

657
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: I might take a few more risks because that dude

658
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: is playing behind me in that defense.

659
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 5: No, it's huge.

660
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 8: It gives you that confidence. Then it reminds me of

661
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 8: you know, when I was playing with the Eagles, that

662
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 8: we had our good run and we had Troy Vincent,

663
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 8: Bobby Taylor's, our cornerbacks, Brian Dawkins, and you're just thinking, Ooh,

664
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 8: I can try anything because these guys are gonna hold

665
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 8: it down. When you have Derek stingly of Kamari lives

666
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 8: up to what he's been doing in training camp. It

667
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 8: allows Danil Hunter, Will Anderson to you. You still want

668
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 8: to play within the framework of the defense, but it

669
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 8: allows you to be confident in taking chances because you

670
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 8: know you have those type of corners, and many times

671
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 8: you're not thinking about it. When you put your hand

672
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 8: in the dirt, you're not really thinking, Okay, Derek Stingley's

673
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 8: behind me. You notice it during the play where you

674
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 8: try the double swipe move. It didn't work, and you're like, oh,

675
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 8: the quarterbacks still has the ball. Then you try another

676
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 8: move it didn't work, and I'm talking about it in

677
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 8: the same play and you're like, oh, the quarterbacks still

678
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 8: has the ball. Then it gives you a chance to

679
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 8: get to the quarterback because you're getting those coverage sacks

680
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 8: because of the great coverage behind you.

681
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 3: By the way, the Giants open up with Minnesota at

682
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: the Metal Lands, so that's not a bad opener for them.

683
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: Sam Donold and Danny Dimes, Oh yeah, shock me up

684
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: for that one.

685
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: That I'm surprised that's not Sunday Night Football Week one. Baby,

686
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 3: I'm kidding. Look, we can talk like that now. Now

687
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 3: we can stick our chests out like whoa, we got stroud.

688
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: We have what is it including the preseason seven national

689
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 3: games this year, because including the Hall of Fame game,

690
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: you've got six. Everyone thinks it's five, but you really

691
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: got six because you got the Christmas and you got

692
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 3: December or whatever it is with the Saturday game. Yeah,

693
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 3: what is the day twenty first first? Yeah, the twenty

694
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: first with the Chiefs.

695
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 6: And that's a college football playoff day as well.

696
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: That game is going to be football heaven, that day crazy,

697
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: that whole run it's gonna be once the college football

698
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: playoffs starts. It's I mean, well, this weekend is the

699
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: last one without football, well without real football that counts.

700
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 3: This is real football, but college football. There are three

701
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 3: college football games this weekend. Yeah, that's what I meant.

702
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: This past weekend, I was flat to say, h D

703
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 3: take me here. Now, how does the body feel at

704
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 3: this point of the preseason. I know you had the

705
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 3: old four game stint, but they have four games and

706
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: they're going to play their final one Saturday.

707
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 6: They have joint practice Thursday.

708
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 3: The light is at the end of the tunnel now

709
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: and you're two weeks away from game week against the

710
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: Colts from where we stand at this moment, so it's

711
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 3: all coming up pretty fast. How are they feeling physically

712
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 3: and maybe mentally right now?

713
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 8: Right now, they're still hurting, you know, right now, they're

714
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 8: still going through the jury days of camp. And it's

715
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 8: only going to get worse before it gets better. Because

716
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 8: when you practice and you have those joint practices with

717
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 8: the RAMS, you're talking about some of the most competitive

718
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 8: physical practices ahead of you. Because your competitive nature, your

719
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 8: competitive spirit's going to take over. You're not thinking to yourself, Okay,

720
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 8: I have to get my body ready for the regular

721
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 8: season game. It's oh no, we have another different colored

722
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 8: jersey coming in. I want to beat that guy in

723
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 8: front of me. And this is what I really love

724
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 8: about having former NFL players as head coaches. Demiko coach

725
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 8: Kubiak when he coached the Texans, they know like, Okay,

726
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 8: this is how the guides feel. So I'm expecting after

727
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 8: that last physical life practice with the Rams, we know

728
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 8: the majority of the starters and role players aren't going

729
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 8: to play in that last preseason game. That's when they

730
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 8: start saying, Hey, this is when you got to get

731
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 8: those massages, this is when you got to get in

732
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 8: the ice up. This is when you have to really

733
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 8: start getting ready for the regular season. And they're going

734
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 8: to start to pull back and it's up to the

735
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 8: individual players to now get themselves ready because you want

736
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 8: to be as fresh as possible.

737
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 5: When that first game.

738
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: Comes, Andy, how did you like joint practices? I don't

739
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 2: know how many you have had in your career. And

740
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 2: it's a little different because it's week three, so it's

741
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: kind of the last dress rehearsal in some sense for

742
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: the one CJ and his group, et cetera. I imagine on Saturday,

743
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 2: we're not going to see a lot of starters as

744
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: it was in the Hall of Fame game, So it's

745
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 2: a little later.

746
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: But how did you like joint practices?

747
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: The fact that it was a controlled you couldn't tackle quarterback,

748
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff.

749
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: How did you like them?

750
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 8: I loved them? Because even Matt Schab brought it up

751
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 8: during the broadcast. During the game, you just get so

752
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 8: tired of seeing the same guy. Well when you have

753
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 8: to todays, Well, now they're on the field once a day.

754
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,479
Speaker 8: But when I played, and you actually had two a days,

755
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 8: I mean after one week, and during those two to

756
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 8: day practices for a defensive lineman offensive lineman, you had

757
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 8: one on one on pass rush drills every practice. So

758
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 8: after just five days you've gone against the same guy

759
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 8: literally like twenty times. So when you get another team

760
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 8: coming in after two weeks. It's just refreshing to see

761
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 8: somebody else, to be able to compete against a different

762
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 8: kind of player. And also keep in mind, when the

763
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 8: pads are on and you're lining up against that guy,

764
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 8: even if he's your teammate, you still have that kill mentality.

765
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,479
Speaker 8: But in the back of your mind you're like, man,

766
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 8: I actually kind of like that guy, you know, Will Anderson,

767
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 8: Bill Hunter. They might like learn me tons of when

768
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 8: it's all said and done, but when those rams come

769
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 8: in down, it's like, Matt, screw that dude in front

770
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 8: of me. I don't know him.

771
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 5: I might know of him, but I'm trying to kill

772
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 5: him on every rep.

773
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 8: So you just like the fact that you're actually competing

774
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 8: against an enemy and you're seeing a different face and

775
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 8: a different set.

776
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: Andy, how's that three man booth going? For the preseason

777
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 3: TV broadcast? It's just us talking. Now, tell me how

778
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 3: is it?

779
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 6: You like it?

780
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 5: Love it?

781
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 8: Love it. I've told people this with John z Air,

782
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 8: without John's are it makes the game for me so

783
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 8: much easier, and it's fun to really talk shop with

784
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 8: the guy that appreciates and and has a respect for

785
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 8: the game. Then Kevin Coogler, I mean he's the quarterback.

786
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 5: He's a c. J.

787
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 8: Stroud of the booth and he keeps everything going smooth.

788
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 8: But Mark, you should have done this a long time ago. Man,

789
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 8: what's going on? Why why don't make it happen?

790
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 5: Yeah? Years ago?

791
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean mutual admiration society.

792
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: Because I standing next to Indy during the games, and like,

793
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 2: I think some of the best times are actually off

794
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 2: the air.

795
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: We were talking about that spin move.

796
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 2: You know, we were like we were trying up in

797
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 2: the we were like setting ourselves up, like, okay, if

798
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: he did this, Like if there was a camera on

799
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 2: us during the break, you would have seen us trying

800
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 2: to throw it spin move and like what like what

801
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 2: was that?

802
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 5: So?

803
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: Uh, the same goes.

804
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I've always thought the world of nd And

805
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 2: just it's so much fun to be up there, and

806
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 2: obviously Kevin does a does a great job, but just

807
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 2: being with nd And and talking ball and talking shop,

808
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it's incredible and just the perspective that ind

809
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 2: has on on the game, on life, on everything.

810
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I love it.

811
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm talking to it's almost like I'm talking to Mark

812
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: without nd here, but I know you're there in d

813
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: But man, I just I love it, man, I just

814
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 2: I love you to death.

815
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 8: Man.

816
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: It's been really, really fun. I hate that we've only

817
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: got one more game.

818
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 3: One more game Saturday at noon with the Rams and

819
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 3: d Thanks so much.

820
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 8: Thank you' all, And I look forward to the man,

821
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 8: I'm really looking forward to this Rams game because here's

822
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 8: the thing, real quick, I know we're up against it.

823
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 8: This is where John can even separate himself more because

824
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 8: he knows so much about the college players and the

825
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 8: majority of these guys that are playing are gonna be second, third,

826
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 8: and four strings, so you're gonna have to talk about

827
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 8: what they did in college. And you know who evaluates

828
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 8: college players like this guy. So I'm actually looking forward

829
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 8: to it because we're really going to get to see

830
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 8: and hear stories about guys that the casual fan might

831
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 8: not be familiar with.

832
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 6: Get ready for the British Brooks Show. Yeah, it's gonna be.

833
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: But I've been talking about British Brooks and Harrison's. He's

834
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: been reading them.

835
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 5: You know.

836
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: By the way, this will be the best game of

837
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 2: all because Michael Hoyt Brown University grad. We got one, yes,

838
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 2: a right, Michael Hoyte makes a tackle ten yards downfield,

839
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna celebrate like he's an all pro.

840
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 3: Ye, I can promise super Bowl level excitement there. Okay,

841
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 3: it's gonna be fun. Texans Rams on Saturday and d

842
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 3: thanks a lot.

843
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: Talk to These games are an absolute blast. Sitting right

844
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: next to that man right there, Rice University's own in

845
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,479
Speaker 2: the clue. Okay, we get back sucking to General. General

846
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 2: had some interesting things to say. As always. That's next

847
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 2: on Texans All Access. We got one final segment of

848
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: this initition of Texans All Access from the Honda Texans

849
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: Radio studio. I'm your host, John Harris. It's time to

850
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 2: talk to John McClain, the General. We had a great

851
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 2: time talking to the General. Hit him with a number

852
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 2: of different topics, just kind of like a.

853
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson overhand.

854
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 3: Right, here's the General, Mark and myself also awesome. John

855
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 3: McClain on Houston Texans dot Com joining us right now

856
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 3: the Hall of Famer. He saw a good performance on Saturday.

857
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 3: What did you think following it?

858
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 7: First of all, despite all the impressive performances that we

859
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 7: saw from players like John Matchie the Third and Jawar Jordans,

860
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 7: what Demigo Ryans likes the best is five turnovers and

861
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 7: you commit no turnovers being plus five, you know coaches

862
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 7: will take that at day of the week and to

863
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 7: win by eighteen points. And yes it's a preseason game.

864
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 7: We haven't seen the Texans look really sloppy like they're

865
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 7: playing in preseason like other teams do, and the Giants

866
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 7: certainly did. And I think a lot of that has

867
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 7: to do with the talent level, but also they have

868
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 7: veteran quarterbacks. They have four quarterbacks who are veteran starters.

869
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 7: And when you're not playing a rookie at the end,

870
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 7: somebody's drafted the sixth or seventh round or was a

871
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 7: free agent struggling big time, I think you're going to

872
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 7: get more efficiency. And they were very efficient on both

873
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 7: sides of the ball. The biggest disappointment is they still

874
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 7: can't run the ball with their starters. Now Joe Mexan's

875
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 7: not play in preseason. I thought he might get a

876
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 7: few carries. Hopefully he'll make a big difference over Damian Pears,

877
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 7: who continues to struggle and the offensive line continues to

878
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 7: struggle with one blocking and people say, well, Larremie Tunsll

879
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 7: is not a big run blocker. Larremie's a pass protector,

880
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 7: so maybe mex It'll be able to do what Peers

881
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 7: can't do. But watching Jordan and Brooks goes two rookies

882
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 7: play man that was exciting, and then camp Akers that

883
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 7: made the team. You know that guy, he's when he's

884
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 7: gotten to play, he's been impressive. You can't say that

885
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 7: about Damian Pierce. So you know, this team had had

886
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 7: a really good running back since Arry Foster last time's

887
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 7: thousand yard rushers Carlos Hyde. I think with like a

888
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 7: thousand and twenty four and maybe Joe Mixon will be

889
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 7: the answer to help them. But when they get as

890
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 7: much as we'd love to see him throw the ball

891
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 7: on every single play because they're so dynamic with the

892
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 7: passing game, you know, Bobby slok is going to try

893
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 7: to get as much balance as he can and so

894
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 7: far they just haven't showed it with the starters.

895
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: General, how close are you to being locked in on

896
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: your fifty three man roster? And I asked that because

897
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 2: receiver seems to be a tough cut running back you

898
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: just brought it up. Running back became really interesting to

899
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 2: me and a lot of people on Saturday. How close

900
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: you did kind of know what the fifty three man

901
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 2: roster is I'd imagine forty eight, forty nine of him

902
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: you feel good about, but those last three or four

903
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 2: might be tough. What are your thoughts on where you

904
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 2: are in the fifty three man roster?

905
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 7: My only question of wide receiver. And I wrote this

906
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 7: and the column's going to be posted today about John Matchie.

907
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 7: No way that if they tried to expose him the waivers,

908
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 7: which last week we all would have thought he was gone,

909
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 7: and he showed what he could do. They showcased him

910
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 7: as coming out party. He's not going anywhere, and so

911
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 7: that gives you And I think Xavier Hutchinson is five.

912
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 7: Noil Brown's six unless you decide to keep Stephen Simms

913
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 7: as a return guy. And I don't think they could

914
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 7: get Brown or Hutchinson through waivers onto the practice squad.

915
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 7: And special teams are so important, and Jure Jordan's a

916
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 7: draft choice. They keep their draft choices. He looked really

917
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 7: good British Brooks and I'm guessing he'll be on the

918
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 7: practice squad, but he looked good. Dargan Wally's a really

919
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 7: good special teams player. And this sounds terrible to say,

920
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 7: but when you see Damian Pearce. What has he done

921
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 7: that makes you think he should be on the roster.

922
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 7: His carries get in one yard to carry where the

923
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 7: acres comes in and he's better. So that's if I

924
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 7: had to pick a surprise, it wouldn't surprise me. A

925
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 7: Peers doesn't get traded. I think the defensive line is

926
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 7: offensive line. You know, Fisher's a swing tackle, Charlie x

927
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 7: Art team much and h and three tight ends. That's

928
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 7: cutting you right the top three, with Kate Stover being

929
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 7: number three. I'm just a guy like teaing Toriano, who

930
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 7: could end up on a practice squad he gets hurt

931
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 7: too much. And then defense, I'm going to write about

932
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 7: the defensive backs, especially Stingley, and I mean tomorrow last

933
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 7: nar who played for the first time, and Calen Bullock

934
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 7: and how well the secondary is playing. And it's interesting

935
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 7: you get those turnos, you have only one sack, you

936
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 7: only have three tackles for the loss, you only hit

937
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 7: the quarterback twice. Obviously Derek Barnett, who continues to be

938
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 7: a revelation ever since he came here last year, and

939
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 7: they started making plays Ian Khalil Davis. When they get

940
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 7: in the games, they make plays. So the defensive line

941
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,479
Speaker 7: is going to be tough. But some of those low

942
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 7: pigs might end up on the practice squad. But I

943
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 7: think they know right now. You don't need that last

944
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 7: preseason game watching the Scrubs play to know who's going

945
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 7: to be on the roster. You just hope that nobody

946
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 7: gets hurt. Remember this time last year, and many guys

947
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 7: would already go down, especially in the offensive line.

948
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they had a bunch of injury problems. Remember we

949
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: were sweating things out before the opener at Baltimore. In fact,

950
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 3: they arrived at Baltimore pretty hurt, pretty banged up. A

951
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 3: bunch of guys had to miss that game and they

952
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 3: had to get through it somehow. Matthew Stafford has hurt

953
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: for the Rams, but we don't know how bad. So

954
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what's going to happen with him this week.

955
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 3: I haven't read or heard the latest. Jimmy Garoppolo faces

956
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 3: a suspension, but he's eligible to participate Stetson Bennett out

957
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 3: of Georgia. We'll see him, And I'm wondering what you're

958
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 3: thinking about these joint practices if Stafford can't go. Now,

959
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 3: Garoppolo is a seasoned NFL veteran, But what are you

960
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 3: thinking here for Thursday?

961
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 6: General?

962
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 7: I think you're going to see a lot of stets

963
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 7: in Bennett since they've used him a lot already. And

964
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 7: you know, Denico Audrey he can be playing in the

965
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 7: preseason games and he hasn't been. Of course, he's going

966
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 7: to be suspended for six games. And to me, the

967
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 7: defensive line, not the ends, but the tackles is the most.

968
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 7: The most questions are about defensive tackle because they don't

969
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 7: have either starter or back. Mario Edwards has done well

970
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 7: foroly Van of Cosby came in and had a good game,

971
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 7: and I think and Khalil Davis again made a big play.

972
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 7: And so Dimiko Ryans and Matt Burke the defensive coordinator,

973
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 7: think they are good enough with this group that they have.

974
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 7: And if they think that that's good enough for me,

975
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 7: you wish the injured guys could come back. It's kind

976
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 7: of scary with Christian Harris. He played so well last

977
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 7: year man at the end of the year, he just exploded.

978
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 7: You couldn't wait to see him this year. Now he's

979
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 7: been hurt, came back, got hurt. That's not good. You know,

980
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 7: he missed time early last year, and you'd like to

981
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 7: see him out there for the get go. And maybe

982
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 7: they just playing possum with some of these guys, But

983
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 7: I know you guys are like me and everybody else.

984
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 7: You can't wait for them to play Indianapolis and the Rams.

985
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 7: You just don't want to see anybody get hurt.

986
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: All right, General, you brought the Colts gonna play the.

987
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 2: Week one, two weeks and six days from today. But

988
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 2: this weekend, Anthony Richardson, who has not played a lot

989
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: of football, huh, even dating all the way back to

990
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 2: his high school year on games the East Side didn't

991
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 2: play the other night against the Arizona Cardinals.

992
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: Now, nobody's gonna know the real reason, But in.

993
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 2: Your opinion, why would the Colts not play Anthony Richardson

994
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 2: in a preseason game to get some live reps?

995
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 7: And he needs them as much as any quarterback in

996
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 7: the NFL for just the reasons you mentioned. He is

997
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 7: never thirteen starts in college. You look at bow Niggs.

998
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 7: Bow Niggs is tearing it up for the Broncos. He

999
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 7: had sixty one starts in college at Auburn and Oregon,

1000
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 7: and as a record, you know he's a twenty four

1001
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 7: year old rookie, and Richardson didn't have that luxury, so

1002
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 7: you would say I can see him not playing him

1003
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 7: in the last game. It was like most starters don't play.

1004
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 7: But in his case, if he doesn't play, based on

1005
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 7: what we saw last year, I'm thinking, okay, he's got

1006
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 7: some kind of physical problem.

1007
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 3: General John McClain joins us. Right now, All right, General,

1008
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 3: I want your reaction to my semi hot take from

1009
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 3: the last segment, which is, Mason Rudolph starts at least

1010
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 3: six games for the Tennessee Titans this year.

1011
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 6: What do you think.

1012
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say he's not good? We wouldn't do it. Well.

1013
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 7: The number one, he's not the back. They haven't declared

1014
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 7: him the backup quarterback yet, they say. In fact, I

1015
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 7: just read an article today about they don't know who

1016
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 7: it's gonna be, and I'm guessing for experience it would

1017
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,720
Speaker 7: be Rudolph. But let us will Levis style a play

1018
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 7: which he runs a lot, and they're still trying to

1019
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 7: get him to slide and not try to run over people,

1020
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 7: not try to run around them, just go down. And

1021
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 7: if he I'm guessing he's gonna get hurt. At some point.

1022
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 7: But six, I'm gonna say no. And the reason is

1023
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 7: Brian Callahan, the new coach, has to see every minute

1024
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 7: of Will Levis that he can. Because a new coach,

1025
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 7: he knows what he wants in his franchise quarterback. And

1026
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 7: if Levis doesn't, isn't given every opportunity, doesn't show him

1027
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 7: what he's capable of do. And they're going to be

1028
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 7: in the market for quarterback again next year and they

1029
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 7: will have wont that second round pick that when Mike

1030
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 7: Grable was there. So I'm gonna say, uh, even if

1031
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 7: he's if he misses a few games, he's not gonna

1032
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 7: this as many as six. I do not think he

1033
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 7: will be benched because of ineffective play based on everything

1034
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 7: I've heard.

1035
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 2: Okay, general, the Raiders made a decision on a quarterback

1036
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 2: number one that go with Gardner Minshew number two. Did

1037
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: they do this to ensure drafting Shador Sanders in twenty

1038
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 2: twenty five?

1039
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 7: I think it's just the opposite. Gardner Minshew can get

1040
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 7: you seven or eight wins, puts you out of the

1041
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 7: running for a top quarterback without you know, suspending the

1042
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 7: house to get up enough to take a quarterback and

1043
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 7: I think Sair Sander is not going to be for

1044
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 7: every team, not with his attitude, his annex, things he's

1045
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 7: doing up there, unless he gets together this year and

1046
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 7: showed he's matured.

1047
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 2: Not sure he's done that yet in general, but we

1048
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 2: will see it. But thanks to John Tomorrow, Vanamir, to

1049
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 2: Indy Klue, Andre where are you for listening?

1050
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,720
Speaker 1: We'll see it tomorrowbody and as always, go Texans
