1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,400

Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, and just reupt here with the Houston Texans

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: after the trade this week. He was in the building

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: and Johnny and I visited with him. Plus, this is

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: really nice bonus. It's more than that, it's Tankdale and

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty. Later on in the show, Drew catches up

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: with Tank. So how's Tank doing with the off season?

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: So you're gonna hear all of that on the show tonight, Johnny.

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: This morning, this is one of those news things where

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: I was doing something else and then I get a

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: text from a friend. Oh first round pick. Huh what

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: what friend was that? I feel like I was first

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: on that. No, you were not first with me on that?

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: No? No, And I just thought, oh wait, they did something.

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: What did they do? First?

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: I thought it was for a player. I thought they

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: traded a picked for a player. Because now I'm like,

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, I'm fumbling the phone. I'm trying to punch

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: it so fast and find out what happened. And we

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: find out what happened. They traded with the Minnesota Vikings,

27
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: who have picked twenty three. Now we'll get into their

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: motivation for this in just a moment. So they have

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: picked twenty three. Texans go back to forty two. They

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: also have fifty nine in the second round. They get

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: a second rounder next year, which could be pretty good,

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: because I don't think the Vikings are going to be

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: that good. They get picked one eighty eight in addition

34
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: to that, which is a sixth or strunder. So basically,

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: now you have forty two and fifty nine. Those are

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: second round picks. You have a third round pick from

37
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Philadelphia eighty sixth. Overall, right, you have two in the fourth,

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: and then you have three in the seventh. We still

39
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: have three in the three, seventh, seventh, Okay, one in

40
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: the sixth, three and the seventh.

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: Because you're the pick two thirty two, which you gave

42
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: up to send to Minnesota. Was the pick you got

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: from San Francisco for the Malik College deal.

44
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: M So that makes sense.

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: So Lee College is trade for the seventh round of

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers that was two thirty two. Two

47
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 3: thirty two gets attested to this deal to go to

48
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: the Vikings to make the draft currency work.

49
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one thing you try and make happen. So

50
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: how many moves in this draft for Nick are left?

51
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: And there are draft weekend moves? I mean, well, I

52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: gotta tell you my first reaction this morning was no

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: matter what it was for, huh, wow, it's early. Nick's

54
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: really he's got the itchy trigger finger that makes the

55
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: moves here.

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go. But there are a couple of things

57
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: that work here.

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 3: Number one, if you're an NFL GM and you're like,

59
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: we need action, who you call? I mean, first of all,

60
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 3: it's you know, it's like draft Ghostbusters, A you're gonna call?

61
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 3: You wanna call Nick because you know he's willing to

62
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: listen and willing to move.

63
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: I wonder, I wonder though, did he get called?

64
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 1: Did he call that? Who knows? And maybe he'll share

65
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: that with us. He's gonna be out with Sean ofm

66
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Seth mondel Moore.

67
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: I got a call.

68
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 2: He got a call, he got a call.

69
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure with the As soon as I saw it,

70
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: I was actually getting out of my car walking in

71
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: the first thing, I grabbed my phone. My phone was

72
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: sitting on the past your seat. Pick up the phone.

73
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: Twitter's open. I see Nick's picture and I'm like, what

74
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: just happened? And then right above it trade. I look

75
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: at the trade and that's why I texted you, guys,

76
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: and my first thought was, Okay, Questy called him because

77
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: the Vikings need quarterback, and the Vikings have realized sitting

78
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: at eleven, they're probably not going to get one of

79
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: the top four quarterbacks.

80
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: Now they have currency. Now they have currency now to

81
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: go up and do it now.

82
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: They must have a conviction on JJ McCarthy and not

83
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: as much on a bon Nix or a Michael Pennox,

84
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: because I think he's he's the guy kind of a

85
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: next tier. I've broken it down like this. I think

86
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: there are three tiers. There's there are more, but the

87
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: top three tiers are. You got the three guys at

88
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: the top, Caleb, Jaden Daniels, and Drake May. The next

89
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: tier is guy by himself. That's JJ McCarthy. The the

90
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: next are Knicks and Pennix. So the Bikings are looking

91
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: at going there's a gap between tiers two and three,

92
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: a pretty significant one. I don't know, I feel good

93
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: about number eleven and I don't know that they're gonna

94
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: both get to number forty two where we're seeing. So

95
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: they're thinking, we need ammunition to be able to talk

96
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: to the teams in front of us, to be able

97
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 3: to say, hey, we've now got that extra first round

98
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: and we know you're gonna want I've.

99
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: Got the team go for it. The Cardinals.

100
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about this the whole time, like all day, like,

101
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: what are how the Viking's gonna go about this?

102
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: What are the Cardinals or the Chargers. I don't think

103
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: it's the Giants. I think six. Look, they can get

104
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy at six, probably, but then you run the

105
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: risk because who knows what McCarthy's value is gonna bloat

106
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: into by the time this thing goes down. Let's just

107
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: go over this. The first three teams are the Bears, Commanders,

108
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: and the Patriots. They are all in the market for

109
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: a quarterback. You would think, right, you would think, yes,

110
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: all right, So that's done. So your top three guys

111
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: are up. Let's just pretend your top three guys are

112
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: off the board right there. Then you have the Cardinals

113
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: and I guess they're committed to Kyler Murray.

114
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

115
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: And the Chargers obviously have Herbert right, the Giants have

116
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones but really, and then you have the Titans

117
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: with Will Levis after that. So those two the fourth

118
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: and fifth slots, Cardinals, Chargers are ripe to perhaps trade

119
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: down because they have a lot of other needs.

120
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: Right if you if you look at the Chargers, the

121
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: Chargers now have discarded how are you gonna look at it?

122
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: They cut Mike Williams, Yeah, hey, Trady Keen Allen.

123
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're getting a lot of grief. I mean, NFL

124
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: memes is having a party over this, and look, they're

125
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: not done. It's a little unfair to buzz in on

126
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: them just yet.

127
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: So what I thought about the Chargers was that they

128
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 3: would They had four guys with thirty million dollars cap hit,

129
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: two receivers, two defensive ends. So I thought, well, they'll

130
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 3: they'll get one of the they'll keep one of both,

131
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 3: they'll keep a defensive end one of them and then

132
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 3: they'll get rid of one of the wide receivers in

133
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: some way, shape or form.

134
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: No, they got rid of both wide receivers.

135
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: So the thought with the Charges has been they're gonna

136
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 3: they're going to tackle, So they could probably get a

137
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: tackle somewhere between five to eleven and get a good one.

138
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: Right, So I think the Chargers are a prime spot

139
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: for a trade, and.

140
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: Because they are gonna trade down say five to I

141
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: don't know, say five to nine or five to ten,

142
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: I think that's the spot. If I'm the Vikings, I'm

143
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 3: looking at because the Cardinals are gonna take quarterback. But

144
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: what I worry about is is if I trade to five,

145
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 3: I am thinking quarterback, no questions asked, I am thinking

146
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: I gotta get a quarterback. I've made this move with

147
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: the Texans and Nic Cassario today to get up there

148
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 3: to get a quarterback.

149
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: So now they're sitting at number five. Right now, the.

150
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: Giants are like, wait a second it we saw that.

151
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 3: We just saw the Vikings go in front of us

152
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: at number five. We had our eyes thinking, you know what,

153
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones might not be long for us, kind of

154
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 3: like this McCarthy kid. Call the Cardinals now all of

155
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 3: a sudden they go up to number four and you're

156
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: left holding the bag. So if the Vikings are gonna

157
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: do something in a sense where they get up in

158
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: this they trade up, they use this ammunition to trade up,

159
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: they better You're right, they better call the Cardinals.

160
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the.

161
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: Chargers would want a deal, But I think the Chargers

162
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: are gonna be left holding the bag. What about Marvin

163
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: Harrison have to get to the Cardinals at number four?

164
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: What about Marvin Harrison? For the Chargers, they just traded

165
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: away to their receivers and you go four to eleven.

166
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: Let's just say you go down to eleven. You're still

167
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: gonna get Marvin Harrison.

168
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: Not gonna get Marvin Harrison, but you might get Roma Dunsay,

169
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: you might get Moleague neighbors. Now you might move down

170
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: to eleven, and then all of a sudden, you some

171
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: of that ammunition to get back up, so you may

172
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: not go you know.

173
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: It's it's it's what they did last year.

174
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, they went from three to twelve with us, and then

175
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: they went back up to six and they went and

176
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: they got Paris Johnson Junior. So the Cardinals have done

177
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: it before many Austin Ford did a really good job.

178
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: I thought last ye's draft, and I think the Cardinals

179
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: are kind of this little plucky team to keep an

180
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: eye on. They are feistying in that game against US.

181
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: I did not like seeing them, man, I had me

182
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: nervous the entire way.

183
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: I thought they played hard, even from the get go

184
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: games they were losing, it looked like they had an

185
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: edge to them, but they didn't have the personnel to

186
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: get over the hump. But they were playing hard under Gannon,

187
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: who doesn't come across as Vince Lombardi or one of

188
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: these guys when you look at the locker room stuff

189
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: in the press conference. He got to play, but maybe

190
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: he appeals to their logic. You don't always have to

191
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: be that kind of guy to be successful.

192
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: So I know people are screaming a US right now, like, okay,

193
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: what's the impact on the Texas? Alright, So the Texans

194
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: get to pick number forty two, right, So now they've

195
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: got forty two and fifty nine, and then you said

196
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: eighty six that's the pick they got from Philly.

197
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: I think it was so.

198
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 3: And then they've got the two picks in the fourth round,

199
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: so they've got five picks top one twenty seven I

200
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: think is the number.

201
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: And two second rounders next year, which is the second

202
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: rounders next year. Because let's say you're at forty two,

203
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: which you are, right, So a player slips late in

204
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: the first round, the first round, you get that five

205
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: year deal thing going on as opposed to four.

206
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: So a player they like slips to thirty or whatever. Well,

207
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: let's look.

208
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: Let's look at the targets here on Lions, Baltimore, San Francisco.

209
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: In that bunch right there, player slips there, you can

210
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: give them forty two and swap those picks and maybe

211
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: both your second rounders.

212
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: That's a lot, I guess to move up. I don't know,

213
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: twelve spots to Baltimore run.

214
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: I don't even know if you have to give up

215
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: Maybe you have, maybe you can next year third instead.

216
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 3: You don't have to give up that second. You just

217
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: keep those two seconds.

218
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: But I think, really I'm gonna say I'm a late

219
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: first rounder. I'm dropping down to forty two. Oh oh,

220
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna put it in the four.

221
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 5: Let's go to the draft.

222
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: Let's go to the draft value charge, just to get

223
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 3: an idea. Now, this is just one of them. Every

224
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: team's got their own. Let's just say pick a team.

225
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: Let's say Baltimore. Let's go Baltimore, Baltimore. The thirtieth picking

226
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: a draft is worth six hundred and twenty points. This

227
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: is just one of the value charts. Forty two is

228
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: worth not as much for eighty.

229
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: So you're almost there. You're You're almost there. It's one

230
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: hundred and forty points.

231
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 3: Now one hundred and forty points equates to a mid

232
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: third round pick like Houston's picking eighty six is one

233
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 3: to sixty.

234
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: I just can't see it though. I'm dropping out of

235
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: the first round.

236
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: But the first round says don't want that first round

237
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: pick for whatever reason, they're just over the years.

238
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: They just don't want to be in the first round for.

239
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: Stock final picks because they feel the draft is thick

240
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: and certain position. The third rounds want to be rich

241
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: with this and that the other thing.

242
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: And that is why I think Nick made this deal.

243
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: Nick's a smart guy. We're all smart people. I'd like

244
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: to think I examined this draft backwards and forwards.

245
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: I know what this draft has.

246
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: This draft has quarterbacks, It has wide receivers for days,

247
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 3: it has offensive tackles out the Wazoo. Forty two is

248
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 3: not really a bad spot to be in at all

249
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: for any of it, because you're going to catch the

250
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: wide receiver run going through you if you want that.

251
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: I still think the second round is chock full of corners.

252
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: If you want that, you still have opportunities for defensive tackle.

253
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 3: So this so I started, and I'm going defense tackle

254
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 3: because there's been so much talk about this with what

255
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: happened with Malik with the Texans and done deposition. What

256
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: they've done is they signed Tim Settle yesterday. Now, Tim's

257
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: been a rotational guy. You ever know when you get

258
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: one of those guys and all of a sudden you

259
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: get more opportunity, they blossom, you don't know, So settles

260
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: in and you've got Fatsukasi, and then you've got Kurt

261
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 3: and you've got Klue.

262
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: Yep, that's what you got. Defense tackles.

263
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: So all of a sudden, you go, okay, defensive tackle

264
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: starts becoming sort of a neat spot. Well Byron Murphy

265
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: is the best defensive tackle on his board. He's probably

266
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: gone in the top top fifteen picks more than likely,

267
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: and he's six foot two ninety seven, but he's a

268
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 3: disruptory strong, he's got everything you're looking for.

269
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 2: The next kind of tier.

270
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 3: Defensive tackles really are beyond pick twenty three, and it

271
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: kind of settled forty two. So I wrote, I started

272
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: writing my position breakdowns, and when I do in my

273
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: position breakdowns, I give you here, here's a roster, Here's

274
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 3: who they signed, Here's who they've lost.

275
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: Are their free agent possibilities to go sign.

276
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 3: Maybe, But with DEFENSEI tackle, I just didn't even put

277
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: those in there because they're not gonna sign another free agent,

278
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: I don't think. So then I got through the draft

279
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: and I take each pick, and I go through each

280
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 3: pick that they have at the time, and I put

281
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: here the candidates that you could put there. So with

282
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 3: defensive line, I had defense tackles, defensive hands. So I

283
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: picked twenty three at Buyer Murphy, I put in there

284
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: a couple edge guys, but I'm like, I don't think

285
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: they're gonna go edge after signing to Hunter. So I

286
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 3: didn't have a lot for pick number twenty three. So

287
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 3: I got to pick fifty nine and I just put

288
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: I put to Andandre Sweat, although I think he's on

289
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: between picks thirty five and forty five.

290
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: Well, there it is.

291
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: Right after that, I wrote floor state, Braden Fiskey think

292
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: he's gonna be gone between thirty five and forty five,

293
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: and then I finished with trade up scenario.

294
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: From fifty nine, from fifty before they made the deal.

295
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: They made the deal, and now you're thinking.

296
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: All I gotta do is just bump them up to

297
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: that category because now they fit right in a sweet spot.

298
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: And we're gonna be on Friday night during our draft coverage.

299
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna be doing the show. Friday Night begins six

300
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: o'clock Central, and we're gonna be sweating it out as

301
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: all these picks Carolina and New England don't take our guy.

302
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: It's one of those nights of draft coverage. And by

303
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: the way, did Nick ruin the draft party? I would

304
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: think so. They haven't announced anything, but look, he could

305
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: go back into the first round, but it might not

306
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: happen until Draft night, right.

307
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: Right exactly, everybody, we're going to party right now now.

308
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 2: I think that's the reason that the trade it happened.

309
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 3: Now, if you think about trades that have happened at

310
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: this point of the draft process. Last year Bears Panthers,

311
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: what was it is to go get a quarterback. Uh

312
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: the Jared Goff, the deear Jared Groff was a rookie.

313
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: I think it was Rams Titans. They made a deal

314
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 3: because it was good. You make this deal now, because

315
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: you're setting up for a quarterback.

316
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: Any other deal.

317
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: Is gonna happen on draft night. And so the Vikings

318
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: had to know what they had in the coffers to

319
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: be able to talk to those teams. I would imagine

320
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: if I'm the Vikings, I'm calling Adam Peters at number two.

321
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: With Commanders, I'm call I'm called why not? Why not?

322
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: You?

323
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: You have to guarantee you just made a move that

324
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: has to guarantee a quarterback with Minnesota.

325
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: But Washington, yeah, make the phone call. Well, Washington has

326
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: to pick a cah No Washington, Marcus Mariota.

327
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: Mark Washington is gonna go uh no. And here's the

328
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: other thing.

329
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: And I've said this a few times now for because

330
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: this was what was the common not common, but it

331
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: was something that we heard a lot in last year's draft,

332
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 3: and that was, don't draft one of these quarterbacks, Bryce

333
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: or CJ or whomever.

334
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: Just wait for this next crop of quarterbacks.

335
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: So essentially suck again in twenty twenty three, so you

336
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: can get Caleb or Jayden or Drake may or whomever.

337
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,119
Speaker 3: You can't do that for next year. Okay, the quarterbacks

338
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: the next year are like Schadur Sanders Carson Beck.

339
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: That's kind of it.

340
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: And Shador Sanders went on a podcast and said he

341
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: didn't like his offense and that's why his offensive coordinator

342
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: got fired, Sean Lewis, because it was an option route

343
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: heavy offense. Guess what you're coming to the NFL to do.

344
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: You're gonna throw a lot of option routes. So should

345
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: Sanders basically put it out there that, yeah, what I'm

346
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: gonna go to the NFL level, That's why I didn't

347
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: like this offense.

348
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: Well, guess what you're gonna get hit with it again?

349
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: Trying to control the situation again.

350
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: Right, My point being, you're not gonna be in a

351
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: situation where now we'll be okay, if we don't get

352
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: a quarterback, now, we can get one next year. No, no, no, no, no,

353
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: this is the year you got to get one.

354
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: In Minnesota knows that too, and New England has to

355
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: get a quarterback too, it has to.

356
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: So you got the top half teams, bang bang bang

357
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: and whatever.

358
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 6: Order.

359
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: They are all gone, right, they're all gone.

360
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: Then Arizona Adam Minimum Margers has to get to four

361
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: unless they played out on Draft Night, which is a

362
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 3: game of guts poker.

363
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: Man, that is a game you know, you can't do that.

364
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: You got to say, this is why they do it, now,

365
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: this is why they did this, and Nick was okay

366
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: with it. And Nick can always move back into the

367
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: first round if he wants to, or just try to

368
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: capitalize on something in the second and third. But they've

369
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: got maneuverability here. You know he's going to be moving

370
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: and shaking on Draft Knight, Okay, moving and shake it

371
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: on the edge is Daniil Hunter, Hustonian and Houston Texan

372
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: and Johnny and I visit with him in studio joining

373
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: us now in the Hundai Texans radio studio. It's number

374
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: fifty five, Daniel Hunter and Danil welcome. How does it

375
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: feel to hear it presented that way? Number fifty five?

376
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds good. Definitely got to take them

377
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: getting used to. But I'm excited about that number.

378
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: Man, you were asked about that in your press conference

379
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 3: about wearing ninety nine, and you immediately shut that down

380
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 3: because of seemingly the respect you have for JJ Watt.

381
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: So when you knew you were signing with the Texans

382
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 3: and kind of all right, you're gonna wear ninety nine

383
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: or nine? Was that a hard decision to like, hey,

384
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 3: JJ did everything that number, He's going.

385
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: To keep that number?

386
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 4: Yeah? It was.

387
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 7: It was straight away like, oh man, JJ, he did

388
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 7: a lot with that number, you know he did. He

389
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 7: built his legacy for the community and the city of

390
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 7: Houston and the Texans. So immediately I knew I was

391
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 7: going to touch that number.

392
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

393
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: So you're a Houston guy, but you're also Jamaica and

394
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: you were born in Jamaica and spent what eight years there?

395
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 5: Is that? It?

396
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 7: Yes, eight years until I finally came to America two

397
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 7: thousand and three, February third.

398
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: So how much time do you go back or how

399
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: often does that happen?

400
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: What is your connection now to Jamaica.

401
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 4: I haven't been back since I got here.

402
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 7: I've been too busy, and so I've been trying to

403
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 7: go because my family they pretty much go every other year.

404
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 7: So one of these years I'm gonna try and go

405
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 7: with them.

406
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: Did you're watching you on tape? I tried to figure

407
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 3: out the right way of saying this. Mark and I

408
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 3: were going into we had just found out about half

409
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 3: hour before our show, and I was watching your game

410
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: against the Bengals, and I'd seen you played numerous times.

411
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: So I play at LSU.

412
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: And I try to describe to Mark exactly like what

413
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 3: your game is. And I'm like, he's spinning, he's chopping,

414
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 3: he's swiping, like your hands are always working, You're always moving,

415
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: and then you have this bend where you can get

416
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: to a quarterback somehow where it looks like you're out

417
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: of the play and you can reach back. Where does

418
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: your where is that? Where was that developed? Where did

419
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: that kind of come from? Where did you kind of

420
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: craft your pass rush skills?

421
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 7: I feel like it's a big combination of a lot

422
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 7: of things. You know, the guys that's been there before

423
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 7: me that I've learned from, And he's just staying active

424
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 7: as a pass rusher. I think that's the biggest thing.

425
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 7: When you're rushing the pastor you got to stay active.

426
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 7: You know, if you're not active, then you're going to

427
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 7: be in a net, You're not gonna be able to.

428
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 4: Move around a guy or whatever.

429
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 7: But the biggest thing is just having a technique and

430
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 7: just staying active.

431
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 3: I've always asked us of guys that rush the quarterback,

432
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 3: is it more art or science.

433
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 7: I think it's a combination of both, you know, because

434
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 7: science you got it, you got that edge right, And

435
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 7: if you're if you're not bondy at edge, if you're

436
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 7: not if you're not doing what you need to do

437
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 7: get bond it edge, you're not gonna beat the guy

438
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 7: in front of you. So I feel like it's a

439
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 7: combination of that, and it's a combination of just bringing

440
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 7: your skill, bringing your attributes, your god given talents. Each

441
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 7: guy is different, so there's there's something that works for

442
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 7: each guy that they know that you'll be able to

443
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 7: beat a guy.

444
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: With Daniel Hunter with us, Daniel, I've watched you play too,

445
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: and you're ferocious and here you are in studio, you're

446
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: such a nice guy.

447
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: Down to earth.

448
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 4: Come.

449
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: What happens when you get inside the lines? What transformation

450
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: takes place? And when does it happen when you go

451
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: into a game? Is it two hours before, an hour

452
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: before or kickoff?

453
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 7: When I get into the when I get into the field,

454
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 7: the biggest thing, I just feel like I got to

455
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 7: defend my land I got my house. I got my house,

456
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 7: and then somebody trying to invade my property. I'm just

457
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 7: feeling like, Oh, I'll find any way to defend my land,

458
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 7: my family or whatever.

459
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 4: My friends.

460
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 7: So it's the biggest thing is just in order to

461
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 7: defend my land, I got to make a play and

462
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 7: I got to get to the quarterback.

463
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 4: That's one of the biggest things.

464
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 3: So I like it, Danil, you talked about being were

465
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: you here at the game against the Browns or just

466
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 3: at home watching on TV?

467
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 4: I was here for that game.

468
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: What was kind of your.

469
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: Overall How much did that play a role, kind of

470
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: watching the excitement of building, watching a younger team backward

471
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: you're from. How much did all that kind of play

472
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 3: a role in your decision.

473
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: To choose Houston.

474
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 7: I played a big role because being here and I've

475
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 7: experienced the game for watching from the outside, seeing how

476
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 7: the team played together, how they they did things for

477
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 7: each other, out of the fans interacted, I felt like

478
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 7: that was a big part of it because any other

479
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 7: team out there, I hadn't really experienced that. Right, this

480
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 7: is my first game that I've like watched from the outside,

481
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 7: being like at the stare.

482
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that played a big part of it was

483
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: that kind of an odd feeling to just sit and

484
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: watch where maybe you wanted to be down in a

485
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 3: playoff game, but yet you're watching.

486
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 2: Is that kind of odd to do?

487
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 4: It's it's it's very different.

488
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 7: I can tell you that, you know, just having thoughts like,

489
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 7: oh this was this must be what it's like to

490
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 7: just watch from outside, be like a fan, and you

491
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 7: know it was a different experience, but I enjoyed it.

492
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Daniel Hunter with us all right.

493
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know the answer to this yet,

494
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: but you're from Katie, right, you went to high school there.

495
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: Since you've gone to college, I'm sure eight new high

496
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: schools have opened up.

497
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: In the KD area.

498
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: And maybe you don't know and you don't want to

499
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: share it, but are you going to live in Katie

500
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: or closer or how do you think you're going to

501
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: handle that? Because I often wonder guys who come home,

502
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, if you're out in the burbs or whatever,

503
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: it might not be as close as you want to

504
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: the stadium.

505
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: Really, when you work here, how do you see that?

506
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 7: I definitely gonna try to move closer because I know

507
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 7: how that traffic is in the morning. Oh yeah, oh yeah,

508
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 7: I know it is with West Park in ninety nine,

509
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 7: but he knows. Yeah, I know about all that. So

510
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 7: I feel like the biggest thing is just to try

511
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 7: and find somewhere, you know, a little bit closer, but

512
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 7: still I'd be able to just have the opportunity to

513
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 7: go home chill with family, which is which is a

514
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 7: plus in my book.

515
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: Okay, the one thing you're gonna know, we get draft

516
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 2: picks in here and.

517
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: They've played at Iowa or they've played at Penn State,

518
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: and then we tell them, hey, wait till August hits.

519
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 2: Are you going to be in shape? This weather is

520
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 2: gonna kill you.

521
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 3: You know, you know that, you know you're coming back

522
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 3: for that in August. And I know, no matter how

523
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 3: long you've lived here. We've lived here for how many

524
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 3: I've lived here for forty plus years? Now how long

525
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 3: you've lived here, it still hits different in August. I

526
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 3: know that had to be all right. I got a

527
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 3: practice and training camp out and out in this heat,

528
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: but you'll a least be used to it.

529
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 4: I don't know.

530
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how to send out.

531
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 4: I've thought about that.

532
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 7: This is back to that, you know, I played high

533
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 7: school ball and I went to OLSU was almost the

534
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,239
Speaker 7: same thing. Ye, so, but yeah, that's definitely something that

535
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 7: you really can't get used to. Yeah, you know, it

536
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 7: just makes you a tougher person, that's true.

537
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: Outstanding, Daniel, thanks a lot for joining us, Good luck,

538

548
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: three year captain with the Cincinnati Bengals and ran for

549
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,439

Speaker 1: Mixon right in this studio. Joe, welcome to the Texans

552
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: and I know it's got to be a whirlwind coming

553
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: in here. What are your feelings and thoughts as you

554
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: get to know people in the building and get introduced.

555
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, man, it's been a hell of an introduction, you know,

556
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 8: come in here. I mean, I obviously had a lot

557
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 8: of emotion and feelings towards you know, what went down

558
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 8: and transpired. But I'm definitely excited to be a Texan.

559
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,239
Speaker 8: I think I fit exactly what the Texans is and

560
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 8: what they want to do. So it's a blessing to

561
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 8: be here.

562
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 4: Joe.

563
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 3: Let's get to the most important question. You're going to

564
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 3: be asked at some point. Do you like barbecue and

565
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 3: have you gotten a barbecue play yet?

566
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 8: Well, to be honest, I don't eat barbecue much, okay,

567
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 8: but when I do eat it, I mean I definitely

568
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 8: tear it up.

569
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: There you go. That's very very rare though.

570
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 8: And I definitely got a background barbecue with Billy Simms.

571
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's a really He's

572
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: done a really good job at a barbecue.

573
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: Gave no doubt, Joe. For people that haven't seen you play,

574
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 2: what are the Texans getting in? Joe Mixon? Who hasn't

575
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: I'm playing? They want to just do his fantasy numbers.

576
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 3: I'm talking about what are the Texans getting on the

577
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 3: field off me field, I.

578
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 8: Would truly feel like on the field, you're getting a

579
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 8: playmaker for one, a passionate player for two, and three

580
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 8: a leader. And I think that with what my skill

581
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 8: set is, and I truly feel like with what I

582
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 8: bring to the table in terms of on and off

583
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 8: the field, you know, contributions, I feel like I would

584
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 8: be able to be the missing piece to really make

585
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 8: this thing go. And I truly feel like I could

586
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 8: be able to get us over that hunt Man. So

587
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 8: I'm definitely very excited and I've definitely looked forward to it.

588
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: You were a captain with the Bengals.

589
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: What did that mean to you having that responsibility.

590
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it meant a lot to me, especially

591
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 8: three years in a row. The guys just you know,

592
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 8: trusting and believing in me to be a captain in

593
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 8: lead by example and you know vocally, and I thought that.

594
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 8: You know, I always felt I was a captain leading up,

595
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 8: you know, before that, I just always had that in me.

596
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 8: You know, I came from Oklahoma, so you know, they

597
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 8: got their chosen ones who they want to lead, and

598
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 8: I obviously was chosen to be picked and lead the men.

599
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 4: You know, what I mean.

600
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 8: So I felt like since I got in the league,

601
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 8: I always been a leader by example. Then it just

602
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 8: came a role where Okay, now it's my time to

603
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 8: take over and be that person. So like I said, man,

604
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 8: I'm definitely I'm always excited, you know, to when you

605
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 8: get those type of accolades. You know, when when you're

606
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 8: winning and doing well, you always want to give your

607
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 8: teammates the recognition, and when you're losing, you want to

608
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 8: put it on yourself as a captain to we have

609
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 8: to do better. So I definitely feel like, you know,

610
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 8: I always had that down pack and that will always

611
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 8: be a part of me, So I definitely look forward

612
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 8: to it.

613
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: John is an offensive player not always watching what's going

614
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 3: on the field. You're looking at the picture as you're

615
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: doing those things, you're talking with your coaches and all that.

616
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 3: But at some point you get a chance to kind

617
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 3: of take a gander at the offensive side of the

618
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: text and see what CJ.

619
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 2: Was doing against the Bengals that day. You had hit

620
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: on your own, But when.

621
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 3: You're taking a look at what Stroud was doing with

622
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: the offense was doing that day, what are your thoughts?

623
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, man, I mean that was a that was their

624
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 8: coming up party. I mean it was that was their

625
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 8: measuring stick. And they obviously passed the test and proved

626
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 8: that they belong here and all the recognition that they

627
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 8: were getting. But you know, in terms of CJ. Stroud

628
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 8: and what he did, I mean, he he tore our

629
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 8: defense up. I mean, he made it a long day

630
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 8: for us, and uh, he obviously came out on top.

631
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 8: But I definitely feel like in terms of what CJ got,

632
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 8: you know, in terms of his traits, I mean I

633
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 8: really truly feel like he has them all. I mean

634
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 8: he's a playmaker. He make things happen, He makes the

635
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 8: right checks, he makes the right reads, and what I

636
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 8: see from him is you don't see the Okay, that's

637
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 8: a rookie mistake, right, I don't see that from him,

638
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 8: and I think that.

639
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 4: That's just God given ability.

640
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 8: And I think that with what he has brewing, I mean,

641
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 8: I think his sky is a limit too, especially with

642
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 8: the talent and physical trait that he is man. So

643
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 8: it's physical specimen I should say what he is. So

644
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 8: I definitely look playing or I look forward to playing

645
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 8: with him.

646
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: Joe, you catch the ball so well, we haven't had

647
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: a back here with the volume of catches you had

648
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati in a decade. So what about that part

649
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: of your game and how important it is to you

650
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: and how much do you enjoy that part of the game.

651
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 8: You know, I never take the past game for granted,

652
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 8: especially when you're the one being used as a target.

653
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 8: I definitely feel like I can make a lot of

654
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 8: splash plays on the receiving end. Always was able to,

655
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 8: you know, be fortunate enough to you know, run routes

656
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 8: and catch the way so naturally that I do. I mean,

657
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 8: that's all God given ability, man. And when you put

658
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 8: some work into that as well, I mean, you know,

659
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 8: it's pretty much everything is destined to be with you are.

660
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 8: So I felt like, you know, what the coaches want

661
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 8: to do here, they want to make sure I'm definitely

662
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 8: involved in that. And all I could ever do really

663
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 8: is get ready and prepared to take on the load

664
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 8: of what's to come.

665
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: And can pass, protect and has as many touchdowns passing as.

666
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow in the Super Bowl. So there's that Joe.

667
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: When you were growing up and you grew up, you

668
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 3: grew up in Cempsus Square Bay area, was there somebody

669
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 3: that you watched growing up that you emulated growing up

670
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 3: that you wanted to play the game, like, whether it's

671
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: running back or not.

672
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: Just somebody you looked at and said, I like the

673
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: way that cat plays.

674
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt.

675
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 8: That man who I really looked up to and who

676
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 8: had nothing but the ultimants, I will say, the ultimants

677
00:29:53,320 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 8: like motivation that I wanted to be like, was Adrian Peterson. Okay, Yeah,

678
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 8: he definitely inspired me to, you know, be exactly like

679
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 8: how he was at Oklahoma, and that's the reason why

680
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 8: I went there. Obviously they had a great staff and

681
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,719
Speaker 8: things like that, but he definitely made me want to

682
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 8: be a Sooner and I was that. And I know

683
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 8: if you went to Oklahoma and you played there, more

684
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 8: than likely as them being running back you or one

685
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 8: of the running back youths, I should say, you're definitely

686
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 8: bound to go to the NFL as long as you're

687
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 8: doing work. So you know, that was definitely my inspiration.

688
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: Joe, great visiting with you. We'll catch up soon. Good luck.

689
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: I appreciate you guys.

690
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 4: Thank you.

691
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: Johnny. We said it last night, but it's worth repeating.

692
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: I was impressed with Joe Mixing. Yeah, I thought he

693
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: is a real He's got a real commanding presence. There's

694
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: something about him, there's this gravitas about him.

695
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna fit right in here.

696
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's Christian McCaffrey, but in this offense,

697
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: he could do some McCaffrey like things, I would think,

698
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get a lot of receptions. I think

699
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: that's going to be an added wrinkle, if not more,

700
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: to this offense. I know they threw the ball to

701
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: the back some last year, but I expected more this year.

702
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: And they have a merry band of pass catchers. When

703
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: you look at Dell Nico and we talked with these

704
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: guys last night. When you look at Noah coming back,

705
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz, this is going to be good with mix

706
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: and added to the mix.

707
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 3: I think what's interesting was when we when I asked

708
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 3: him about who he you know, emulated grown up, and

709
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 3: it was like Adrian Pearson.

710
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: Adrian Pearson was.

711
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 4: A big influence on him.

712
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: And Adrian was not a really good pass receiver out

713
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 3: of backfield.

714
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: You know, that was not something that Adrian did really

715
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: really well.

716
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: I mean he was, you know, a screen guy, but

717
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 3: you know, most running backs can be a screen guy,

718
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 3: it's not much mixing's way more than that. As a

719
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 3: pass receiver. I don't know where that part of his

720
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 3: game really developed. But when you watch him in every

721
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 3: aspect of the passing game, as I mentioned his pass protection,

722
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 3: my god.

723
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 2: I mean I've seen him.

724
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely just drill linebackers. It's pretty fun to watch. But

725
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: then him just getting out of routes, creating mismatches, just

726
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 3: the way that he can shake guys, Like everybody points

727
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: to Wells of San Francisco based offense, Hey, look what

728
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 3: McCaffrey does. These guys couldn't be more opposite from a

729
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 3: size perspective, but what they give you in the passing game.

730
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 3: I would think Mike McCaffrey's probably a little bit more

731
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: dynamic in some of the things he does, but Joe

732
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: Mixon is not far behind. The other news that went

733
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 3: with that is Joe ended up getting an extension, which

734
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: I don't even I don't know if we talked to it.

735
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 3: We talked about that last night with John McClay.

736
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 4: I think we did.

737
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, I think we did.

738
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 3: We talked about that, so he gets he gets an extension,

739
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 3: but it wasn't, you know, massive stupid money at all,

740
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 3: So you get a twenty seven year old that still

741
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 3: got some tread attires. Was a three four year captain

742
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati. And it was interesting because I was listening

743
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: to Sean at Seth this morning. They they were talking

744
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 3: about his press conference and being up in front of

745
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 3: the media for the first time. We had already been

746
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 3: in studio at that point because we were talking to

747
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 3: the Neil Hunter. Yeah, so we didn't I didn't hear

748
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: any of the press conferenference at all. We had just

749
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 3: met Joe before he went into the press conference, talked

750
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: to both of us, talked to him about where he

751
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: grew up, and I mean we thought he was engaging.

752
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 3: He comes down here in studio and was awesome. We

753
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 3: looked at each other like, yes, like I love the

754
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 3: guy sitting next to me.

755
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: He was awesome.

756
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 3: And then I heard him talking this morning, like you know,

757
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 3: some of these clips you could tell that he was

758
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 3: kind of you know, the last forty eight hours have

759
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: been kind of tough on him.

760
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: And I can imagine.

761
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: You know, you're with a team for seven years, you're

762
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 3: their guy, you're a captain of that team. You know,

763
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: the business of football probably hasn't hit you squarely in

764
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 3: the face, and it just did. And so now he's

765
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 3: kind of deal with all that. I don't know what

766
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 3: happened from there to hear, but when he sat down

767
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: in this chair, he felt like he had been a

768
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 3: Texan for seven years, not a Bengal for seven years.

769
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: So that's what happens to people in this studio. We

770
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: bring out the best in people here in the Hunday

771
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: Texans Radio studio. Yep, that's happened forever. We did some

772
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: of our best coaching show work. Well, we always do

773
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: our best coaching show work here. I was going to say,

774
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: we did some of our best coaching show work during

775
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: difficult time after some difficult love.

776
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: Oh, I wonder who you're talking about.

777
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: By the way, the nose, those shows were always great,

778
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, win or Lose, those shows.

779
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: Were really good way at the facade.

780
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: But you know, you know what, though I was watching

781
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots documentary, I know this comes up and I

782
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: highly recommend this on Apple TV. And I know if

783
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: you don't get Apple TV, it's a big pain in

784
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: the you know what to like, get Apple TV and

785
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: log in and by the way, it's the worst interface

786
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: of all the streaming services.

787
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 2: It's bad. It's just terrible.

788
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 4: It's not good.

789
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 1: I mean, they make it difficult for you to find

790
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: the shows that you love and to watch them. And

791
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: what episode am I on? It doesn't even say sometimes anyway.

792
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: But I'm watching this Patriots documentary and Scott Pioli, I

793
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: got to say, is one of the more impressive guys

794
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: at the interview.

795
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 2: Exactly.

796
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: He had a great line on the Patriots. This see

797
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: it to me, this applies to the Patriot way. And

798
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: he talked about winning in football being a narcotic, being

799
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: a drug.

800
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: He's making this metaphor.

801
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: Yes, and he said, y esphoric, talking about how great

802
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 1: it is to win, but after a while, winning isn't

803
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: as euphoric. It's just a relief. And then he says

804
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: and then losing is dark. And I thought I was

805
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: laughing because in when the Texans won back to back

806
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: AFC South titles at eighteen and nineteen, I think a

807
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: lot of the fans, especially in eighteen during the nine

808
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: game winning street because they started oh and three and

809
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: there was such anger in the fan base starting oh

810
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: and three when you got Watson back healthy, and.

811
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of anger.

812
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: And then they started to win, but they weren't winning

813
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: the right way, and there was a lot of debate

814
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: and discussion about it, and it just felt like winning

815
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: was a relief at some point. I always enjoy and

816
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: appreciate the wins, but when you lost, it was dark.

817
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: I just thought, that's so funny, but I think it

818
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 1: really applies to what they were going through.

819
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 2: You know, they just.

820
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 1: Had to win, and in that building, I can imagine

821
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 1: it got pretty dark when they were losing.

822
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 2: With Bill Belichick.

823
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's cool to watch that because it's one team's

824
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: perspective and I'm not a Patriot fan. I hate them

825
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: like poison, but it's still fascinating to watch.

826
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 3: It's interesting you say that because I got through as

827
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 3: soon as we got back last night. I got back late,

828
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 3: but I check out Apple TV because it's supposed to

829
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: be Friday.

830
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 2: For the new episodes. But yeah, a lot of times

831
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 2: they put them up Thursday night. There they are.

832
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: My god, dang it, I gotta watch them. So I

833
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: watched episode nine to ten. Episode nine is it's very

834
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 3: intriguing because you said, Man, how miserable was it up there?

835
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 3: If they lost? Yeah, they were miserable winning.

836
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, miserable winning huh. They were miserable winning.

837
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 3: They talked about they had all kinds of guys that

838
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 3: had Den mccordy, Matthew Slater, Amondola, They had a number

839
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 3: of guys talking about the twenty seventeen season. Yeah, twenty

840
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 3: seventeen was this year they got all the way to

841
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl where they lost to the Eagles. Oh yeah,

842
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 3: and of course I remember, and I lost to the Eagles.

843
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 3: Malcolm Butler. He doesn't Belichick does not play Malcolm Butler.

844
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: Big controversy. Yeah, Oh my gosh. So they discuss all

845
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 2: of them.

846
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 3: Brady talks about all of them, talk about it, Robert

847
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 3: Kraft talks about it.

848
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: And they talk about that twenty seventeen season.

849
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 3: And here they are winning, beat US, came from behind

850
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 3: and beat us, win AFC, go to the super Bowl,

851
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 3: like if we were to go to the go to

852
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 3: the super Bowl. I mean, my god, here they are

853
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 3: going to I don't know what number super Bowl it

854
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 3: was for Brady and Belichick at that point. And these guys,

855
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 3: I mean, they talked, Oh Gronk, my god, Gronk didn't. Man,

856
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 3: when you hear what he has to say, point being

857
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 3: purely had it that phrase, Yeah, it's addictive.

858
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 2: It's a drug.

859
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 3: But just like with drugs, you can be on them

860
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 3: and they can make you feel good.

861
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 2: But man, it is leaving a significant impact. And that

862
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 2: was what it was doing for the Patriots. It was

863
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 2: leaving a significant impact. They were winning. Even the next

864
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 2: year in eighteen, when they won.

865
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 3: The Super Bowl, they were still kind of in that miserable.

866
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: They won LA they wanted thirteen to three, They won

867
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 2: thirteen to three over the Rams.

868
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: Twenty nineteen, they lose the wild card to the Titans,

869
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: led by Mike Rabel, who, by the way, has now

870
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 3: been hired by the Cleveland Browns as a coaching and

871
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 3: personnel consultant.

872
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: How about that, So wait a minute, Rabel with the Browns.

873
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: Rabel going to the Browns. He was with Watson before

874
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 2: for two years, two years seventeen No, no, no, just one

875
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 2: year seventeen Yeah, just seventeen seven, the defensive coordinator.

876
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 4: That's correct.

877
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: I just find it interesting that they're in the same building,

878
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: and I want to know how this is going to work. Yeah,

879
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston on a team that Mike Rabel is participating

880
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: in the coaching of That is interesting to me. I

881
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: what team would you like to see on hard knocks

882
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: more lend give me another one, Give me another one.

883
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: That could be a nice little train wreck here Pittsburgh.

884
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: Because of Russell Wilson and how he's gonna fit in.

885
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin, by the way, is one of the best

886
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 3: micd Upster is. He's incredible.

887
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 2: I would love to see it, Mark, I'm.

888
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 3: Telling you at the Senior Bowl, it's unbelievable to watch

889
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin. He is the unofficial mayor of Mobile for

890
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 3: two days. It's incredible. He walks down on the field.

891
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 3: He he will basically stand in the huddle, like right

892
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 3: next to the huddle. He'll walk into the huddle during

893
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 3: seven on seven and he'll lean his head into the

894
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 3: huddle and listen to the play.

895
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: And then walk out and watch it.

896
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 3: He's and then to watch people react to him that

897
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 3: are there, scouts, players, medium like it doesn't matter. He

898
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 3: shakes everybody's hand, gives him a quick second, moves on.

899
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.

900
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 3: I can see why he has been the head coach

901
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 3: there for a very long time, but I would That's

902
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 3: the one team I would like to see because see

903
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 3: how Russell adapts to Pittsburgh.

904
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 2: You got TJ. Watt. There, you got Tomlin. How about

905
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: the Chargers? How about Harball?

906
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 3: Oh, now his first year coach. They wouldn't do it. Yeah,

907
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: I think they're outside of the formula. But it'd be

908
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 3: fun to watch all that going in, you know, like

909
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: installing all of that.

910
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: All right, So what about all this with defensive tackle

911
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: cornerback needs. Well you mentioned defensive tackle, that one good

912
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: one or many or several anyway could slip down to

913
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: pick number forty two. Maybe maybe early second round. He

914
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: jumps up there, he could do that. Yeah, you know

915
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: about late first round. You could still jump up early

916
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: second round and give somebody another pick or two, because

917
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: they really want picks, no matter what the situation is,

918
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: they want picks, and they like the fifth round, they

919
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: like the sixth round. When you get to the draft,

920
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: weird things happen like that. I can tell you some

921
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: some things i'd bet the house on regarding this draft.

922
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: By the way, as Nick looks to improve this football team,

923
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: so you currently have three picks in the seventh round.

924
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: There is no way those stand pat zero chance of

925
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: that happening. I'd bet the house that he doesn't have

926
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: those three seventh rounders and their current slots.

927
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 2: He's gonna do stuff with those. No, No, he's the

928
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 2: lose change you need to make.

929
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: He's coming down to interview with us, had picked two

930
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 3: forty something with all those picks off the board, like

931
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 3: he's yeah, he's gonna be he's gonna be business at

932
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: that point.

933
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say the same thing about both those fourths.

934
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: There's no chance one twenty sixth, no chance he leaves

935
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: those right there.

936
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,760
