1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome to the program that gets you 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: inside NRG Stadium. It's Texans All Access. Mark Vandermayer, John 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: Harris with you as we get you ready for the 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: schedule release in a couple of days. We talk about 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: the upcoming rookie camp, We talk about more OTAs on 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: the way for your Texans. Johnny, how's it going going 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: very well? Mark, It was a fun show last night, 8 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 1: but I missed you. But we had a chance to 9 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: hear from all the luminaries, Hannah and Cal. We heard 10 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: from Greg Chrissome. Of course I played Greg last because 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, he's our boss technically. Then there was somebody 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: that was trying to poop poo the schedule release. It 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: was like, come on, man, oh Nick. Yeah, Nick has 14 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: gone from from summer Nick, which is more like winter 15 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: Nick or something into all right, this week rookies must 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: earn their spot, which is perfectly understandable. But I think 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: it was the delivery that hit me on this one. 18 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: Nick's getting the game face on, Johnny. I would think 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: game face would have been on around the draft, you know, 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: But I understand. Here's what I understand, though, Here's the thing. 21 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: Once you go through the draft, and I know there's OTAs, 22 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: there's so many camps coming up, but I could imagine 23 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: if I didn't have any of that to do, and 24 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm looking around going I just was going one hundred 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: miles an hour every single day, just for eight hours, 26 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: ten hours, twelve out fourteen hours a day. You're going 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: that and then all sudden it's over on Saturday, and 28 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: you're like, can you come to a grinding, screeching halt. 29 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: You're like, everything just keeps going forward, Like how do 30 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: I deal with that? I deal with that every single year. 31 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: Every year I get to that Monday and Tuesday after 32 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: the draft, I'm like, what, you know, he's a week 33 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: to decompress. Though, Listen, if you're if you're driving vandamer 34 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: speed and you just slam on the brakes, what happens Like, Yeah, 35 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: it's hard to get adjusted to that. Yes, And I 36 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: think that's that's what happens. You need you need to 37 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: in some way shape or form, step away or just 38 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: take a breath for a day or two, two or 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: three days, and sometimes you don't. You're not a ford 40 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: of that opportunity, so you just day in that mode 41 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: and you're kind of like I'm in this mode. I'm 42 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: stay in this mode, and now they're asking about schedule. 43 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: I don't care about you. Just stay in that mode 44 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: and it just takes a little while for it to 45 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: kind of work out. Yeah, I think he's just fired 46 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: up about Rookie Camp coming up. The schedule release is 47 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: what it is. The real pressure is on Clay Hampton 48 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: and company. Yes, these guys who have to book the 49 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: hotel rooms. That's major pressure. When the schedule comes out, 50 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: all right, I gotta book this, I gotta book that. 51 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: I gotta and these hotels they book up fast, especially 52 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: post COVID with all the backlog they have of weddings 53 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: that didn't get done, big events, and you only have 54 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: a few months and weddings are booked up a year 55 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: plus it advance. And I'm just singling out weddings here, conventions, 56 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: other events that eat space. We've talked about this before. 57 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: Major pressure on those guys to get the rooms booked 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: for the Road Games.

Yeah, 63 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: they've they've already been doing site visits. They don't know 64 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: win and obviously that's hugely important. It is, but finding 65 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: a place that you can say, Okay, we like this place. Hey, 66 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: if we come to you in September, are you gonna 67 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: have this? We come to you in October, We're gonna 68 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: have this. It's it's such an interesting process. I mean, 69 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: we've talked about this forever. We love our trips, our 70 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: trips now twenty twenty was not so much. But just 71 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: love the trip, the opportunity to for thirty six to 72 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: forty eight hours. And obviously the most important thing is 73 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: it's a business trip. Got to go get a win. 74 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: But I love the trips. You get a town standard hotel, 75 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: the whole thing. You can turn the eight C down 76 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: to sixty three. Could be fridging the whole thing. But 77 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: man Clayhampton and his crew have got to hand all that. 78 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: And I don't know how they do it. Every trip 79 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: when they're at the back of the plane, I make 80 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: sure to say that because I don't know how they 81 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: do it. I don't know. I have trouble doing it 82 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: for my family if we ever go to like and 83 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: he's got to do it for hundreds of people, and 84 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how he does it. They get him 85 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: going fast, they get him, make him out of these towns. 86 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: And it's great for us to be on the road 87 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: and just describe to you guys what's going on. And 88 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: we see things at the games when we're there that 89 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: we would not normally see. So even during COVID year, 90 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: when Andrea and I were doing most of the games 91 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: off monitors, large monitors with great audio, we had you 92 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: on site to help us further paint the picture. Okay, 93 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: let me paint the picture before we get into some 94 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: of the big topics of the day. Here Texans Charity 95 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: Golf Classic yesterday and you played all the sound from there, 96 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: which was great and for a great cause, Houston Texans 97 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: Foundation Texas or Champions for Youth, and we had all 98 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: the representatives out there of the y m c A, 99 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: Boys and Girls Club of Greater Houston, the Houston Food Bank. 100 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: It was outstanding, all right. Davis Mills played. It was 101 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: cool because here he is year two and already he's 102 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: this veteran playing in this golf tournament. Where veterans have 103 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: played over the years. I remember the first one to 104 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: oh three David Cars group. I think they won it. 105 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: And you know, David could play some golf. Okay, they 106 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: were members out of Sweetwater when he first got here. Anyway, 107 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: Davis is playing yesterday and I talked to members of 108 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: his team after the round was over. Yeah, Davis was 109 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: not in sight during this conversation, and they said, yeah, 110 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: it was interesting playing with Mills. He because I said, 111 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: is he very even keeled? I get that impression. You know, 112 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: he's talking about how even keeled he is and nothing 113 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: is toy or too low whatever they said. You know, 114 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: when he got to the group, it was great. He 115 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: was super polite, total gentleman. The first three four holes 116 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: for the whole group were kind of shaky in his group, 117 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: and then on the fourth hole or something, everybody shank 118 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: their drive and they had one in the fairway next 119 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: to the hole where they really needed to be. And 120 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: one of the guys is like, look, let's say see 121 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: is one of the mulligans here okay? And Davis is like, no, 122 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: we got this. So he really wanted the challenge of 123 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: hitting the shot which had to go over the trees, 124 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 1: you know, good one eighty or something over the trees 125 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: and somehow find its way to the green. It's a scramble. 126 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: You've got to get on so you can put right. 127 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: You gotta have a chance of birdie every hole anyway, 128 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: So they guy he's not gonna defy Davis captain Mills. 129 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: So they go to the ball. It's in the opposite 130 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: not opposite, it's in the fairway next to the hole 131 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: they're supposed to be on. And they all go except 132 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: for Mills, and they're all shanking again. Right, So now 133 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: it's up to Mills. Mills drills the shot over the trees, 134 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: parks it on the green and makes the put for 135 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: the birdie, and he said that's my quarterback. Yeah, and 136 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: that was it. It was awesome because Mills wanted the 137 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: challenge and that got them going and they had a 138 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: really good round after that. So I thought that was 139 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: pretty funny. Well, he's got a good looking swing. It 140 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: ended up a couple of people. I think drooper out 141 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: there on video and you just watching, you go it happens, 142 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: big surprise, Yeah, it happens in sports. You watch somebody 143 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: you know throw row or shoot a shot swinging golf 144 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: club and you're like, oh, okay, that guy's yeah, that 145 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: guy's on it. Um. One of our I was watching 146 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: one day, one of our equipment guys, Adam. I was 147 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: watching him throw the ball. I'm like, okay, he throws 148 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: it way too well. He played somewhere. Oh he did, 149 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: and he did. We found out later on that he 150 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: that that, uh that he did he played in college. 151 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: I thought, I want to say it was mccallisher Minnesota. 152 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: Could be wrong with that, I don't. I don't remember exactly, 153 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: but but he did. He played in he played in college. 154 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: But you can see it like you watched Davidson. Go Okay, 155 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: he's played like his swing was pretty smooth and you're like, 156 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: all right, he that made a good sound. It wasn't 157 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: like he made contact and then you heard because the 158 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: ball is like like like he would with with mine. 159 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: So uh, yeah, he's he's definitely got a quarterback swing. 160 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: He's out there playing and that's uh, that's cool. That's 161 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: a great story though, So I love hearing that. One 162 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: of the guys in my group, Connor, I'm gonna mispronounce 163 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: his last name Mitchelson Michelson. He's from n app Gary, 164 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: Peterson's company, and this dude can hit it a ton. 165 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: Everybody in my group could hit it a ton except 166 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: for me, of course, you know I can, you know, 167 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: occasionally hit a good shot. Anyway, this guy, we're on 168 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: a three hundred thirty yard par four, so it's a 169 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: short par four. So one of the guys drives it 170 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: too far. Okay, he drove, he overdrove the green. So Connor, 171 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: who happened to play he played high school ball for 172 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: a year with Rex Burkhead in Plano. Oh all right, 173 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: and then he played QB at Princeton and I was 174 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: talking to him about how tough Brown was. It was 175 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: interesting anyway. So Connor gets out of three wood and 176 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: he parks it on the green three twenty four, I 177 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: guess was the shots three wood. Yeah, so these guys 178 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: could hit it a little bit. And uh no, but 179 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: we used you know, like I hit some pods and 180 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: some short game shots and that was good too, So 181 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: I definitely contributed. We had a good time. But when 182 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: these guys were hitting it that far, I was thinking, 183 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: I'm not even playing this sport like this. I'm not 184 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: even in this arena here. So when I was when 185 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: I was in high school. This always used to come up. 186 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: When I was in high school. My buddy and I 187 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: he ended up playing baseball Baylor Mac mac Jones. Ironically, 188 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: Mac Jones and the two of us, um we we've 189 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: served on versity for four years. But in my senior year, 190 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: we had a bunch of young dudes and they could sky, 191 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: and so they would come out and throw it out 192 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: in warm ups, they would come out and throw it 193 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: down windmills and just come down the lane and dunk it. 194 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: And hear me and Mac when our we used to 195 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: call power layoups, we would have would go up and 196 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: just lay it in, and they would come behind us 197 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: and just throw it down, and We're like doing our 198 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: little power lamps. And I was like, yeah, boy, that 199 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: looks like fun, Like we're really getting this crowd lay 200 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: ups and and but yet we would be the two 201 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: leading scores. But our guys could, I mean, our guys 202 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: could throw down. I mean to a point where are 203 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: we told our manager were like film our warm ups 204 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: and they're me and Mac leading off at the layups, 205 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's just a thunderstruck. So 206 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: understand I can understand how you felt a little bit well, 207 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: but you got it done. I'm sure there are plenty 208 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: of shots that they were allowed on you for back 209 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: in the day when Doctor j played at U Masses 210 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: as well before I was there. Of course, Uh, they 211 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: were not allowed to dunk in college basketball, but you 212 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: could dunk in warm ups and the gym would be 213 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: packed for warmups to watch Doctor Jay Julius then just 214 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: put on a show and dunk. And as a freshman 215 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: he couldn't play. Yeah, I mean, so the freshman game 216 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: would be loaded with people, and then it would the 217 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: fans would trickle out for the varsity game. You want 218 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: to just like that at LSU, same thing, Merevitch. They 219 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: would come to see the baby Bengal Tigers play, to 220 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: see Pete Meravich, and then the crowd would all filter throughout. 221 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: What's the varsity game would start for that very reason, um, 222 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: because it was the same thing freshman couldn't play that 223 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: had to play on the they had to playing a 224 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: little team LU all senders Team UCLA. The first time 225 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: they went in the gym together, they beat the team 226 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: that had just won the national championship and beat him soundly. 227 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: And here they are as freshman. They gotta play freshman 228 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: ball just the way it was back at it. By 229 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: the by the way, speaking of Kareem Aldul Jabbar, have 230 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: you watched Winning Time on HBO? I haven't watched it yet, 231 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: and you know what, everyone tells me, I need to 232 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: watch it, But Johnny, I feel look, I know the 233 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: reality of it, and I feel like they bended and 234 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: do I really want to see that? So it's talk 235 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: me into it. It's it's exceptional. It is okay, it's 236 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: exception It's way more than just it's way more than just, hey, 237 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: we're gonna run through the playoffs. It's really it really 238 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: it tells a very interesting story about it. But is 239 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: it accurate? It's pretty darn accurate. The guy who plays 240 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: Magic looks a lot. He's like a great young Magic. 241 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: He's an incredible player. You see him make Magic's moves 242 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: and you're like, really, oh wow. Well he's from Ischian. 243 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: He played football. He played uh gosh, I can't remember 244 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: where he played. I think he played Division two football. 245 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: But a really good athlete. He's exceptional. He is really good. 246 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: Wood Harris who plays Spencer Haywood. Haywood is exceptional. And 247 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: whoever plays Kareemo duelser Bar is really good too. He 248 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: really captured him. He really captures the the right way 249 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: of saying this. Um kind of the dichotomy of Kareem 250 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: who was kind of surly, and then Magic comes around 251 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: and then he kind of kind of flips the light 252 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: switch on for him and he's like, oh, you know, 253 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: let's win this thing. And John c Riley has Jerry 254 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: Bussell is like, Okay, I'm curious to see how this goes. 255 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: He's perfect. You have to see it. It is, it's 256 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: it's really really good. What a great part. An episode seven, 257 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: somebody makes a cameo. Quite see her, but she knows 258 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: where she is. Okay, okay, I'll have a peak. Yeah, 259 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: I'll have a look. I'm done with ted Lasso and 260 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: I was late to that party. Of course two it's coming. 261 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: Oh of course. What do you think? I loved it. 262 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: I loved season one more, but I still love the show. Yeah, 263 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: I still love the show. I thought, are they really 264 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: running out of ideas already? But they're not. They're just 265 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: exploring the characters and everything, and they they paid tribute 266 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: to a lot of old movies, which I love at 267 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: a show. Right. The best part, though, is it's a 268 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: season one or season too. This popped up because it 269 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: was the anniversary of Alan Iverson's and the practice. We're 270 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: talking about practice, Yeah, they did. Lasso went into it 271 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: and I knew what was going on as it's happening, 272 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: and I just started cackling, laughing. And my family we're 273 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: all watching together. And that's one thing you can watch it, 274 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: you know with I mean, my kids are older, so 275 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: we can all watch it together. As I'm laughing, they're 276 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: like what. And so then I paused it, and I 277 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: went and got Alan Iverson's practice video from YouTube and 278 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: he went, I let it go through, stopped it, and 279 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: then I went and played the practice video and they're like, 280 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that's really good. Yeah, they do a 281 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: lot of stuff like that that's gonna go over people's heads. 282 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: The Beard after Hours episode is a play on a 283 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: movie movie called After Hours starring Griffin Dunne that came 284 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: out the eighties. Yeah, the same thing. I mean, they 285 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: basically followed. They don't follow it exactly, but they have 286 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: some elements of that. And I knew right away what 287 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: that was. But that was very esoteric as a reference, 288 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: you know, I knew it, but you know, I know 289 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: some strange things. Anyway, let's get to this now. As 290 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: the Texans signed Mario Addison, we talked about this because 291 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: reports came out earlier, and also you saw the reports earlier. Today, 292 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes, Austin High School TCU NFL veteran, is now 293 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: a Houston Texan. Gut reaction. I'm pumped. I love it. 294 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes. I got to know in the two thousand 295 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: and nine Lombardi Awards. So that was in Dominican Sue, 296 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: Terrence Cody, Jerald McCoy and it was Jerry Hughes. And 297 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: I got to tell the story that my dad told me. So, 298 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: my dad was coaching over at Camper at the time, 299 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: and he was telling me about this running back that 300 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: they had faced over at Austin. He's like, Austin have 301 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: many players, like guys running backs, running back really really good. 302 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: And but that's all he really told me. He says, 303 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: he's really really good. My dad retired. He's watching the 304 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: TCU game. He's like, wait, wait, whoa that's him. I'm 305 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: like what, he goes, Yeah, the guy playing defensive end, Hughes, 306 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: that's the guy. He's a former running back at Austin 307 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: and Gary Patterson turning him into a defensive end. And 308 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: so I got a chance to tell Jerry that story 309 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: is we did. We did a Lombardi Award breakfast back then, 310 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: and he was he was awesome. I mean, he was 311 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: just a really at that time. He's got quiet and 312 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: just kind of going with the flow, and it was 313 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: really a fun time with McCoy and Sue and with 314 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes. All this many years later. Now he comes 315 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: back to Houston and I love it. I mean it's 316 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: a guy coming back to nearest hometown and you don't 317 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: know what either he or Mario Addison have left in 318 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: the tank. You'd like to think Rahim Green at twenty five, 319 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: they could be twenty five to start the year. Start 320 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: the season, he'll be twenty five of me, still a 321 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: young guy. They were draft picks that were a little 322 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: older than he was. But you kind of feeling, Okay, 323 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: Green's going going you know, up up the He's going 324 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: up the roller coaster. Where are Jerry and Mario on 325 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: the way down. I still think they got some juice left. 326 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: Just watching him last year with the Buffalo Bills, You're like, 327 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: these guys could still get after the quarterback a little bit. Yeah, 328 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: Now are they are they seasoned? Yes, I've been around 329 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: Mario's thirty four, Jerry's thirty three, thirty four, maybe something 330 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: along those lines. But look, if you find something with 331 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: one or both with some vets off the edge, yeah, 332 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness. I mean. And Nick sat right 333 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: in his seat that I'm in right today and he said, Saturday, 334 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: after the draft, we've got some things lined up with 335 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: some guys, and they were all edge players. And you 336 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: look back at the draft and go, okay, well it 337 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: makes sense. You know, they had been having these conversations 338 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: all the way along and they all came to fruition. 339 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: They got those three edge players, and at that point 340 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: it almost makes me feel better about the draft that, yeah, 341 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: it would have been great to get an edge rusher. 342 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: But I had said this about edge rusher in the 343 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: draft in twenty twenty two. Mark was it was very 344 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: top heavy. I felt like at the top of the 345 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: draft through five to six guys, but then after that 346 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: I thought the pickens were a little bit slimmer that 347 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: the guys after that, And like, I don't like this guy. 348 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: He's got his background is not great, he's had some issues. 349 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: This guy, I think he's a little light. This guy, 350 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: I don't think he's got It was like the guys 351 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: after that. I didn't feel like running back and wide receiver. 352 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: I feel like running back and wide receiver. You could 353 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: find depth all the way throughout. I felt like edge 354 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: was not quite what you got beyond the top five, 355 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: six seven guys. What you got beyond that. If you'd 356 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: have said, okay, plan A would have been to get 357 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: one of those guys. But if you don't, here's plan B. 358 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: We focus on the other positions that we have needs 359 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: or we got a best player available right, and then 360 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: after the draft, we're gonna end up signing these three guys. 361 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: I would have been like, I like that plan. I 362 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: like that plan a lot. Let's go with that. And 363 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: that's essentially what they what they ended up doing, So 364 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't mind it at all. Now, again, did they 365 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: come in and give you some value kind of like 366 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: Ninja did in twenty sixteen. I was a little different 367 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: because he came in I think you know later in 368 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: the season, But they found a role for Ninja when 369 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: he came back in twenty sixteen and they needed him 370 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: and he did a really good job or are you 371 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: getting Roosevelt Colvin The first day you saw him at 372 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: training camp, You're like, oh, well that might happen. So yeah, 373 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: it's like which one are you? But if one of 374 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: them hits, that's good. And the local flavor is awesome 375 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: to bring Hughes back and I know he was a 376 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: cult once upon a time, which still hurts, but at 377 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: least you bring him back here for a taste. You know, 378 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: Joseph and Die was a cult and a good one 379 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: out of Sharpstown. And you know these local guys, it 380 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: really hurts when they go to a divisional opponent, so 381 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: especially when they're good. So I like this that you 382 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: get them back here. It's late in his career, but 383 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 1: let's see what he has left. So and as far 384 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: as the draft addressing issues and free agency too, you 385 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: can't solve all your issues in one draft and even 386 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: in one free agent class. But they're bringing a lot 387 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: of bodies here on the D line to see what happens. 388 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: So they have a lot of options, choices, That's what 389 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: we said a lot yesterday. Playing in a scramble, you 390 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: want choices, yes, so you can pick the best put 391 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: pick the best DL and it might be a variety 392 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: of guys through the course of the season, because somebody's 393 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: gonna end up on ir they're gonna come off. Yes, 394 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: maybe some players get stashed on the practice squad. Can 395 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: you imagine Jerry Hughes on the practice squad? So some 396 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: players get stashed there and somehow or maybe somebody goes 397 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: home for a while and then you resigned them. They 398 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: stay in shape, you never know. Yeah, so let's bring 399 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: everybody to the party that you possibly can. Yeah. I 400 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: don't think there's any question that I think. I think 401 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: with Hughes, I know we gotta get we have to 402 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: be getting close to the ninety number. Now. Last year, 403 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if we brought ninety to camp. I 404 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: know it was close and there were some guys that 405 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: were I think on iar. No reason not to fill 406 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: it up or at least get close. Yeah, I mean, 407 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: as long as as long as your money situation isn't 408 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: you're not getting a guy or two that's gonna put 409 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: you in a in a bad position at that point. 410 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: You know. I talked yesterday and adjust the Bradberry thing 411 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: the Texans, and it doesn't sound like it doesn't sound 412 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: like the Texans were alone in trying to make a 413 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: deal with the Giants. But mainly it wasn't so much 414 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: to make a deal with the Giants. The Giants were 415 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: amenable to a deal, but it was could you get 416 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: a contract done for Brant for Bradberry. Well, you can't 417 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: get a deal done for Bradberry. So you go get 418 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: Steven Nelson and you get Nelson, who isn't quite Bradberry 419 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: they I mean, just size wise, they're different, just different 420 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: players and probably not the statue of Bradberry. But you're 421 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: not paying him what Bradberry's looking for, so you're really getting, 422 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, good value for a guy like Steven Nelson 423 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: that you have. And you're like, hey, look we just 424 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: drafted Stingley. We now got Steven Nelson. So it's like 425 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: they pivoted. Plan A was, Hey, we're gonna go get Bradberry. 426 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: And if we get Bradberry, then maybe we don't have 427 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: to look at corner at number three. We can look elsewhere. 428 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: But you know what, if we don't get Bradberry, Hey, 429 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: Stephen Nelson's out there. We like him. His value is 430 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: commissurate to his deal, and his deal is gonna be 431 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: way less than what Bradberry's looking for. And look, we're 432 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: sitting number three. If we like Stingley, let's go for Stingley. 433 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: And I don't know in what order that I'll comes in. 434 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: Maybe they were really high on Stingley all along. Maybe 435 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: they felt like Bradberry Stingley was the way they wanted 436 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: to go. But once they got Nelson, they got him 437 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: for a pretty good deal. Hey, rock on, let's go. 438 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: And apparently the Texans weren't alone with the Bradberry thing that. 439 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: I don't know what he's looking for, but apparently it 440 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: was teams plural that couldn't come to an agreement either, 441 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: and so the Giants eventually had to let him go. 442 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: You know what's funny divisional signings. I always talk about this. 443 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: You tend to sign players that played in your division 444 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: because you see so much tape on them against you, 445 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: against each other, or you see them twice a year 446 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: Wes Welker, or what about this though? What about Dennis 447 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: Kelly now signing with the Cults, who has been with 448 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: the Titans. They see a ton of tape on Kelly. 449 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: Well for the Texans getting Mario Addison and Jerry Hughes, well, 450 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: we know what division they played in most recently, and 451 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: you know who was in that division up until last year, 452 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: Nick Kisserius. Now, I know Hughes is only there maybe 453 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: a year overlap or whatever it was, but so or 454 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: was it Addison Addison? Hughes was there for a long time, 455 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: all right. I was thinking of Addison who was in 456 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: Carolina and some other places. But anyway, the point is this, 457 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: he saw a lot of tape on those guys. And 458 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: Nick knows everybody anyway, But I just think that when 459 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: you see players in your division, you just get a 460 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: better sense of who they are. You just can't help 461 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: it because the mileage of tape you watch is from 462 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: your division. I mean, when we went to Tennessee last 463 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: year and played them, well, I can't remember what week 464 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: that was. It was after the bye, and I'm talking 465 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: to nearly everybody from Tennessee. Now, they've got Mike Rabel 466 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: who coached in Houston, but they had probably six to 467 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: seven guys, six or seven guys that I went up to. 468 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: He was like, hey man, it's good to see you again. 469 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: How's the family that played here? You know in Houston, 470 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: And you know, you look last year in Denico, Autry 471 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: had been with the Colts. Where'd he end up? He 472 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: ended up in Tennessee. So it's not it's not unusual 473 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: for for any of that to happen. And I could 474 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: promise you that Nick, watching the Bills twice a year, 475 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: had the same feeling whenever we whenever we were playing 476 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: the Panthers, we played him a couple times fifteen nineteen, 477 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: um um. When Addison was there, he always bothered me. 478 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: And then when he went to the Bills always just 479 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: he's always bothered me, just from a an opponent perspective, 480 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: because he's I don't know how to explain it, but 481 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: he's ferociously violent, and yet he's pretty quick, and so 482 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: he can present a lot of issues for your for 483 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: your edge tackles, for your edge protectors, tackles, tight ends, 484 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: and I just hate seeing him on the others. There's 485 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: just guys that always you look over there and I 486 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: just hate see him on the other side. You know. 487 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: The other one that's like that was actually the Patriots, 488 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: and Nick talked about him is Lawrence Guy. Lawrence Guy 489 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: with the Patriots. It's just always feels like this, this 490 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: guy just kills us. We can't block him, we can't 491 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: move him. He's always in the backfield on rundowns. God, 492 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: this guy's a he's a nightmare. That's the same kind 493 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: of person he's not. He's not the highest profile person player, 494 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: but he makes an impact. And I always felt that 495 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: way with Mario Addison where we played him and just 496 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: you watch him on tape and you're like, this guy's 497 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: this guy's a problem all the time. I mean, he 498 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: had he had seven sacks this past year. He started 499 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: three years old. He had seven sacks. My gut, we 500 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: can use somebody to see he's got a knack for 501 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: getting into the backfield. Jerry Hughes had three sacks in 502 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: the playoff game. Yeah, against the Bills, well for the 503 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: Bills against the Texans. So there's that, all right, coming up? 504 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: More likely to happen. We're gonna play it, and certain 505 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: things are gonna come up in the conversation, including but 506 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: not limited to, somebody going to Fox after he's done playing. 507 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: It's Texans Radio, Mark Vandermarin, John Harris with you appreciate 508 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: you listening as always, Johnny, are you ready for more 509 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: likely to happen? Let's go, let's do it. More likely 510 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: to happen, more likely to happen. More sacks earned in 511 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, John Grenard or anybody else on the Texans, 512 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: Jonathan Grenard or anybody else on the Texans more likely 513 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: to happen. I'm going with Grenard, Okay. I think he's it. 514 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: I think it's the year he stays healthy. I think 515 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: he's always always, always had a plan for rushing. He's 516 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: always had a really smart plan. I mean I've talked 517 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: about that a number of times. He is, he's an 518 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: artist with how he does it with a little bit 519 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: of a scientific approach, and I think he kind of 520 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: puts that together. I've asked him about that art science, 521 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: and I've talked to Jacob Martin about that art science, 522 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: and you know, they really think about it. You know, 523 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: they kind of think of themselves as artists, but they're 524 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: very technical and how they go about it. Jacob was 525 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: definitely that way, and John has, I think, gotten that way. 526 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: I think this is the year that Grenard stays healthy. 527 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 1: I think that he gets to double digit sacks this year, 528 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be the high. But I 529 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: do think with what they have, you know, we talked 530 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: about Addison and Hugh was in the first segment, but 531 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: stiff Jordan Jenkins coming back. I remember that game he 532 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: had against Miami. He was incredible in that game against Miami. 533 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: So you got Jordan Jenkins coming back, you got Derek 534 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: Rivers coming back. And all Derek Rivers really has been 535 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: guilty of over the years is just not staying healthy. 536 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: If Deep Rivers could stay healthy and stack one game 537 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: after the next of being healthy, I think, I think 538 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: you would find a guy that could get to the quarterback. 539 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: And I go back to day as Youngstown. I'm like, this, dude, 540 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: we can get to the quarterback if nothing else. And 541 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: then we watched him at the Greenbrier go down and 542 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: tear up is knee covering a kickoff. So it's just 543 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: been he hasn't been able to stay healthy. But at 544 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: that point, I still think Grenard leads the group, but 545 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: I think the overall number goes up, especially with the 546 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: vets that are around them, and there are different combinations 547 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: you can use. I mean, Rachime Green, what do you 548 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: have six? I think it's six sacks last year, six 549 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: or seven sacks last year with the Seahawks, and I 550 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: Drew and I were talking about this in the lab. 551 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: He's kind of like the Marcus Walker. You Marcus was 552 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: the guy that you could play on the outside, but 553 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: you can move inside. But I think that Rachime Green 554 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: is a longer, taller, bigger, more explosive, younger version of 555 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: the Marcus Walker. But de Marcus had a lot of 556 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: experience doing that, so I'm curious to see how they 557 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: use Rachime Green. But to have kind of an inside 558 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: outside component, you know, a chess piece that you're like, Okay, 559 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: we can put Addison, Grenard Hughes and Green on the 560 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: field to go rush to quarterback and not have to 561 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: not lose anything in the in the run game, or 562 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: leave Leek Collins out there. But you still can bump 563 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: Green next to him and then put two edge guys 564 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: out there. You've got options, and that's really what you 565 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: want to have. You want to have options. Like we're 566 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: talking about golf. Do just give me options. That's all 567 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: we're looking for, all right. More likely to happen next one, 568 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: more likely to happen, more likely to have more touchdown 569 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: passes Davis Mills or Zach Wilson or Trevor Lawrence. Oh, 570 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: who's gonna have the most touchdown passes? Johnny of that 571 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: trio from the twenty twenty one draft class. And by 572 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: the way, Kyle Trask will not be playing this year anyway. 573 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: We'll get to that later. Um. I mean, I'm bias 574 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: I say Davis, but I do think I do think 575 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: there'll be there'll be a number of touchdowns for Davis 576 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: this year. What I would pick between is Zach and Trevor. 577 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: I think it's Zach. I think the Jets are ready 578 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: to be the next team. Maybe not the Bengals, but 579 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: the pieces are kind of there if you if you 580 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: think about it now, they don't have they don't have 581 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: they don't have the ball carrying weapons, they don't have 582 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, John I know he's got to play well. 583 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: This is a big pressure situation for him in the 584 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: Big Apple. Listen, name a quarterback right now that's not 585 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: under some that's not under real pressure because of what's 586 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: coming because the teams that you know, I mean Davis. 587 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't feel it. But Davis, his name 588 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: is gonna be mentioned with all that kind of stuff. Well, 589 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: they gotta get a quarterback in this day. These guys 590 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: are coming, the c. J. Strouds and the Bryce Youngs 591 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: and the fielder Covic and Spencer Raller and all these 592 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: different quarterbacks. Tyler van Dyke from the you keep an 593 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: eye on that guy. I know you love the Canes. 594 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: That guy's a baller. So those guys are all coming. 595 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,239 Speaker 1: So these guys are gonna feel the pressure that if 596 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, They've done this for two years now. 597 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: If it doesn't happen after two years, is that team 598 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: ready to cut bait? Especially with now the Jets and 599 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: Solid drafted him. But the Bears new head coach, new 600 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: general manager. Are they gonna look at Justin Fields and 601 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't happen in two years and go no, no no, no, 602 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: we got we got out their options that we like 603 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: better than Justin Fields. Are they gonna make a decision 604 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: to make a change. Trevor Lawrence was the obvious number 605 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: one pick. Trent Balkie is still there, but Doug Peterson wasn't. 606 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: So Doug Peterson takes a look at it after a 607 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: year and goes, are we sure about this? Yeah? Are 608 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: we sure? Because yeah, I know he's in NUB one 609 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: overall and they'll probably give him more time. But they're 610 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: gonna be feeling the pressure knowing Hey, wait a second, 611 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: there's some really good quarterbacks coming in that Doug Peterson 612 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: might want to work. What did Peterson win a Super 613 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: Bowl with? Right, I'm not saying he would want him, 614 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: but he knows the possibility of Hey, I can get 615 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: somebody to run this offense who will be successful. I'll 616 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: find the guy. So to that point, there will be 617 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks feeling the pressure this year, no 618 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: matter whether they're in year you know five, or they're 619 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: year two. But it's the guy. It's the guys in 620 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: year two that I think teams look at and go, Okay, 621 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: these guys. I know it's a second year, but Chad 622 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: rookie year, that's a second year. You gotta show us strides. 623 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: Look at what Joe Burrow didn't Cincinnati. That's gonna be 624 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: out there all year. The flip side of that is, 625 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: or I guess you could say in conjunction with that, 626 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: is look what's coming. You don't get it done, you 627 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: don't pull a Burrow. We can go pull a trigger 628 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: on somebody else later. So you're caring a lot of pressure. 629 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: That said, I think Charmer's gonna Carrey a lot of 630 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: pressure this year. Zach Wilson too, but at least in 631 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: New York. I look around and go, man, there's some 632 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,239 Speaker 1: talent around him. There's a lot of talent. Funny, the 633 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: Bengals should come up in the conversation because in the 634 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: next and more likely to happen item, more likely to happen, 635 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: more likely to melt down in twenty twenty two, the 636 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals or the Dallas Cowboys. Now the Bengals. Let's 637 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: go back to the regular season here for a moment. 638 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,959 Speaker 1: The Bengals won ten games. They went ten and seven. 639 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: Let us recall that they did win a playoff game 640 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: at home, but then they had to go on the road. 641 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: They beat the Titans in Tennessee, and we all saw 642 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: what happened in Kansas City. As far as the Cowboys go, 643 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: they won twelve games last year. They were a solid 644 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: regular season team in a bad division. But solid regular 645 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: season team postseason didn't go so well for them, right, 646 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: so more likely to melt down, Johnny, Dallas or Cincinnati. 647 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: I would say Dallas because it's Dallas. Now, I will 648 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: say that's all the reason you need. I that's the 649 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: analysis that you pay good money for, folks. But I 650 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: think the thing is I've said already, I do think 651 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: there will be some regression to the mean for Cincinnati, 652 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: although I feel like Cincinnati has done what they needed 653 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: to do. They needed to shore up the offensive line. 654 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: They went out and they got Lyle Collins. They added 655 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: him to the mix. They added a few more. I 656 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: think they had to take Caress I believe from the 657 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: Patriots if I remember correctly, who could play inside either 658 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,959 Speaker 1: the inside positions, So they've short up the one area 659 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: that everybody seemingly thought was the one area that had 660 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,959 Speaker 1: to be short up. They also signed Alex Kappa from 661 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So you look at the offensive 662 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: line now and go, Okay, that's a much more legit 663 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: offensive line than what you had. Burrow and company are 664 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: in year three. All the weapons are still there. Defensively, 665 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: I feel like they just continue to add pieces. So 666 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: it would make sense that the Bengals stay on the 667 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: trajectory because of how they've improved or continued to improve 668 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,959 Speaker 1: the team. Knowing offensive lines a sore spot, go fix it. 669 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: They fixed it. Now you're looking, go, well, what's the 670 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: source spot now? Yeah, with Dallas. The reason I said 671 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: it's Dallas and that was kind of because rhyme or 672 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: reason doesn't tell you anything about how Dallas should be 673 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: a seven win team, and yet they were a few 674 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: years ago. You know, Dad got hurt and they just 675 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: went down to drain. You know, last year they all 676 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: stayed relatively healthy. I guess for the most part, Mika 677 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: Parsons was unbelievable throughout the year. They get their playoff 678 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: game and then they get devoted by the forty nine 679 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: ers at home, So like, wait a second, So the 680 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: talent's always been there, there's no question about the talent. 681 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: Now we'll see without Amari Cooper or how that goes, 682 00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: and what about the running game. They've also had a 683 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: few losses on the offensive line. They lost Low Collins, 684 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: they lost Connor Williams, so what's the And they lost 685 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory on the other side of the ball. So 686 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: they've had some pretty significant losses, whereas look at the 687 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: Bengals ago, they really haven't lost anybody a subscotten better, 688 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,280 Speaker 1: but they're in a much tougher division. Yes, that is true. 689 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: I woud that people are sticking the praises of Washington 690 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,479 Speaker 1: right now, possibly with the with the Yeah, some people 691 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: are with the receivers that Carson Wentz will have to 692 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: work with versus what he had with the Cults. Yeah, 693 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: but what about the running game? And I know a 694 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: thousand yard rusher in Washington. They just lost the Pro 695 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: Bowl guard in Brandon Sheriff up front, and they weren't 696 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: good to begin with. And if you think Wentz is 697 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: pulling magic out of his at your nuts, you're nuts 698 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: handed he can do amazing. Oh never mind. Sam Howe's 699 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: in a great spot with Washington. I mean, I know 700 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: it's here. I know he I mean, either injury or ineffectiveness. 701 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: Here's my hope. We get Washington week one here like 702 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,879 Speaker 1: we did in twenty fourteen. And Wentz just can't get 703 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: it done. And in the fourth quarter, Ron Rivera calls 704 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: on Sam Howell and Howe throws a touchdown at garbage time. 705 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: But that's it, and just just enough to kind of 706 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: weasel in for Wentz because it's done. It's done at 707 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,720 Speaker 1: that point, and I wasn't hand the job to Sam Howe. Okay, job, 708 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: I've got one more for you, and I'm gonna do 709 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: it after the break because we got to run into it, 710 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: so one more and more likely to happen. Based on 711 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: the big announcer news of the day. Here, I'm Texans 712 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: All Access Mark Vandermarin, John Harris, keeping you company your 713 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: Tuesday drive home wherever you might be going. All right, 714 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: we have one more more likely to happen, item to 715 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: clean up here, more likely to happen, more likely to 716 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: be remembered as the best color commentator of this group. 717 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: Johnny Troy Aikman, Tony Romo, Romo, Tom Brady or Chris Collinsworth. 718 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: Who's going to be remembered as the best color commentator 719 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,479 Speaker 1: of the group? Should I throw? And Drew Brees as well? 720 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: Now let's just go with those guys. I like Breeze, 721 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: I do. I like listening to Breeze. I thought he 722 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: and Tarco pretty good. But I know there are a 723 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: lot of people that don't care for it. There's some 724 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: things that they missed during games, and you're kind of like, 725 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: wait a second, why don't y' all talk? They all 726 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: miss stuff? Yeah? I know, and so I don't, but 727 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: but I like i'd like that that mix. Um Brady. 728 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: You never know. But I'll say this about Brady. If 729 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: Brady lets down his hair a little bit, He's he 730 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: could be funny. It's kind of like Peyton Peyton Manning. 731 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: Like we knew Peyton mister Sirius's in the film. His 732 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: commercials were funny, Saturday and Live was funny. But when 733 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: he started doing his daton on his details show his 734 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: uh Peyton's Places, and then he started doing more on television, 735 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 1: You're like, well, he's really entertaining. Yeah, I mean he's 736 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: entertaining funny, And I hope that that Brady does that 737 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: the Peyton's Places that that Peyton did. Going with Brady, 738 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 1: they went and they like golf. They chipped on jim 739 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: Nance's little part three He's got at his house, and 740 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: it was funny as I'll get out, And I'm like, 741 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: if Brady does that and brings forth that along with 742 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: the football knowledge, I think he could be exceptional. I 743 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: really think he could be exceptional at that point. So 744 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm going to say this because he's 745 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,919 Speaker 1: never called a game, but I'm going on a hunch 746 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: that Brady will be the best that group. I think 747 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: the best would be Peyton Manning if he would do it. Yes, 748 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: I know he does the Manning cast, but if he 749 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: would actually do color and sit in the booth he 750 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: would be the best. I think he would be outstand 751 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: and I don't think he'd be afraid to be critical either. 752 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: Now with Brady, I don't think he projects the way 753 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 1: Manning does. I think the sense of humor is good, 754 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: but it's a little different, and I don't know if 755 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: it works in the booth. Yeah, me and my broadcast 756 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: buddies were, you know, texting back and forth and everything. 757 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: Everybody seems to think Romo is a little too lucy goosey, 758 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,439 Speaker 1: but he does bring the energy. I'll get that. There's 759 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: no doubt he's dialed down on the prediction business a 760 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: bit and he does bring the heat, but he is 761 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: all over the place. Sometimes it's a big slop fest. 762 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: But I think it keeps nance young in a way 763 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: to have Romo in the booth. Who's the greatest analyst 764 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: on TV that we've ever had ever Madden? Okay, it 765 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: took a couple of years before what before he ended 766 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: up with Pat Summer All yeah, and that was magic. 767 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: And that's why I think Trey Aikman is sort of, 768 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to say underrated. A lot of people 769 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: don't like Joe buck but I think Bucket Aikman fit 770 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: together really well. I'm curious how Burkhart and Brady fit together. 771 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: That comment, it's gonna be interesting. That's gonna be interesting 772 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: how that goes together, because that will bring up the 773 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: best in Brady. And that's why I think Tarrico's good 774 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: for Breeze. I think Trico brings some of that out 775 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: in Drew. But I think Bucket Aikman have a really 776 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,919 Speaker 1: good good fit. I'm curious to see how Collinsworth's gonna 777 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 1: be Collinsworth and Tarrico, now right, yeah, Okay, Tarrico's amazing. 778 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: I think might be the most talented play by play mane. Now, 779 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: as far as all this stuff goes, it's subjective. Sure, 780 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 1: you know some people like blondes and brunettes or whatever. 781 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: That's how it was explained to me. I mean, everybody 782 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 1: knows it's Madden. Everybody knows it's him, and everybody loves him. 783 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: I think if you listen to anybody for three hours, 784 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: after a while, you're gonna be able to pick things 785 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: out that you don't like. They're gonna miss some things. Now, 786 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: radio is different because radio, most often you're dependent on 787 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: the announcers. That's what I love about radio. You know, 788 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: you're in the cards, driving from point eight to point B, 789 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,359 Speaker 1: and you have us on Sirius XM or six ten 790 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: goes all over the place. I have people in Austin 791 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: listening to six ten. They drive back, they hear the 792 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: whole game. Whatever. That's awesome for us, and they're dependent 793 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: on us. It's great TV. You're not really dependent on 794 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: the announcers. They better add to it. But very often 795 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: I find myself I'm not turning it down all the way, 796 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: but half paying attention. I'm on the second screen, I'm 797 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: on Twitter or whatever. If it's obviously Texans games, I'm 798 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 1: doing them. And if it's anything else, I might not 799 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: be as locked in. So what did your broadcasting buddies 800 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: have to think about this Brady thing? A lot of people, 801 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the business get very jealous, envious, 802 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: bitter about somebody just jumping into the booth making a 803 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: gargantuan sums, even if they were the greatest player ever. 804 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: They just feel that way. Right, look at what happened 805 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: here now, Aikman going over to Monday night Football with 806 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: Joe Buck. At least they've done it before, right, Romo 807 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 1: got the huge money, but after he had done it right. 808 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: You know, it was a huge money when he started, 809 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: but it was mega max contract almost literally an NBA 810 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,720 Speaker 1: Max contract. Maybe not that much, but a lot of money. 811 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: But he had done it, and there was some water 812 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,320 Speaker 1: under the bridge there, and he had a track record 813 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: of ratings or whatever they want to look at. I 814 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: still don't think it like a lot of people do. 815 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: I still don't think it brings eyeballs necessarily, but it 816 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: makes your viewing experience different to have a different announcer. 817 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: Growing up with Summer all did a game like you knew, 818 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,800 Speaker 1: like you knew the game match. You know the game's 819 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: big when you hear certain voices. And for me earlier 820 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: before I was in the business, that was NBA Finals, 821 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: Dick Stockton and Tommy Heinson doing those finals with the 822 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 1: Lakers and the Celtics, it was big. It was big, 823 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: And yeah, I know it's sacrilegious. I never really like 824 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,439 Speaker 1: Marv Albert as the network lead. I always loved Dick 825 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: Stockton doing that job. And I know too younger people 826 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: who have heard Dick Stockton later in his career, it's 827 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: not the same. I get it. You know a lot 828 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: of annuncers aren't gonna be the same. Except for me, 829 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: A lot of announcers aren't gonna be the same later 830 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: in their career. Like how I slipped that one in there? 831 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: I think that's Johnny though. I think what stinks about 832 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: it is the deal begins soon enough, right, Yeah, Like 833 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: you don't get to have Brady until he's done playing, 834 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,479 Speaker 1: but the job is waiting for him. I think that 835 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: bothers people. Yeah, but look, he's Tom Brady. What are 836 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 1: you gonna do? I mean if Greg Olsen going in, 837 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,879 Speaker 1: I mean, like, what's I mean, Hey, you're not number one, 838 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: but you're gonna be number two, and you're gonna be 839 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: the best number two. I mean, yeah, it's a little 840 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: tough to take. But at least, hey, it's Tom Brady. 841 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? I mean, you know he 842 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 1: actually put in his time in working network broadcasts while 843 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,919 Speaker 1: he was still playing. Yes, yeah, I give him credit 844 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 1: for that. I saw him at the owners meetings and 845 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: we talked a little bit because of the Miami thing 846 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: in common. But he was after my years. Yea. Anyway, 847 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for the show. Tonight tomorrow we 848 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: have another big one schedule release, eve. I can't wait 849 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 1: for Thursday. Let's dig in and stuff is leaking out 850 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: as well. We'll get to some of the leagues tomorrow 851 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: some of the leaks that have been out there on 852 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: the schedule, because it's not even leaks. The league has 853 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: released some stuff, and some other things have reportedly reportedly 854 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: have leaked, but I don't think they're accurate. And we've 855 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,320 Speaker 1: been through this before. There are a lot of inaccuracies 856 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: and some of the stories that are out there. We'll 857 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 1: get to it all. Have a great night everyone, Go Texans.
