20
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: a bye This week, and I can readily admit it

21
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: was time for everybody to get away decompress, and that's

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: kind of the theme for everybody but us. We are

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: sticking with everything that we do during the bye week.

24
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: Texans Radio never quits. I saw this and I can't

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: remember where it was. The first one I saw was

26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: you And if you follow high school football, you've probably

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: seen this in different places. But it said b f

28
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: n D and I couldn't figure out for the life

29
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: of me what BfN D. It was driving me crazy,

30
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: and then I realized the mascot was Bobcats and it

31
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: was Bobcat. Fight never Dies. It's kind of like you know,

32
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: T A and D Texans All Access never dies. Man,

33
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: We're always here, and I'm glad to be here. I'm

34
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, football Analyston's sideline reporter for your

35
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: Houston Texans And you want to talk about a jammed

36
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: up Wednesday show, My goodness. The things we would normally

37
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: do on a Wednesday. We would normally talk to Mark

38
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: about the next game, well, we don't have to do that.

39
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: We would do an endo lab and we do have that.

40
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: We would talk to an opposing writer, we would have

41
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: the men behind the mics on the show. But don't

42
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: have either one of those. But what we do have,

43
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: whole boy, We've got the President of the Houston Texans.

44
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: I know some of you were like, you got Trump though,

45
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: though not the president, the United States President of the

46
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. The most important person in our lives, Jamie

47
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: Roots and he went along with Drew Doherty talking about

48
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: a new book that Jamie has coming out, all kinds

49
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: of things that Jamie talk. But this is a really

50
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: great interview. You definitely want to stick around for that.

51
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: We'll have that next. I had a chance to catch

52
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: up with all the assistant coaches interviews that were going on.

53
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: I had a chance catch up with three of them

54
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: for one on ones and you'll hear all of them.

55
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: I caught up with a quarterback coach, t J. Yates,

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: I caught up with secondary coach Danton Lynn and tight

57
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: ends coach Will Long, and those last two and myself.

58
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: The three of us we have something in common. And

59
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: when I asked them, it was pretty funny because I

60
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: happened to see Danton Lynn later and he remember that

61
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: part of their conversation. So we chatted outside in the hallway,

62
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: probably half hour an hour later, and it was just

63
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: interesting to kind of continue that discussion off the air,

64
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: but it was really funny. So you'll hear from all

65
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: three of those coaches, Tja Yates, Danton Lynn, and Will Long.

66
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: I got exclusive one on ones with them. We have

67
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: are in the lab, and we also have a deep slant.

68
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: We're not contractually obligated to have a deep slant, I

69
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: think on Wednesday. Typically we're doing on Friday, but I

70
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: wanted to have one and I thought one of the

71
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: best ones that DP did was with Charles Amnahu. So

72
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: you'll hear that in the second hour of the show.

73
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: But we're going to kick off the show with some

74
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: hot reads and they are brought to you by Geico,

75
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: and Geico has some great news for you. There's a

76
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: quick way you could save money. Switch to Geico, go

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: to Geico dot com and in fifteen minutes you could

78
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: say fifteen percent or more on car insurance. So first

79
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: hot read. Now to give you guys just a little

80
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: bit of background on this. You've heard the Tier one,

81
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: Tier two employees, all that kind of stuff, the people

82
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: that get COVID tested, and I've made mention that I'm

83
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: a Tier two employees. So I get tested for COVID

84
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: every single day, even during the bye week. So I'm

85
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: driving in, and the times for it a little different

86
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: to give us a little bit of a break, we

87
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: can go a little bit later than we're used to going.

88
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: And so I was going in there a little bit

89
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: a little bit later, and I was listening to Sean

90
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: at SETH and they had their little breaking news sounder,

91
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: and as I'm turning into NRG Stadium, They're giving the

92
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 1: news that a player had tested positive for the Texans.

93
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: It is the first player to have tested positive for

94
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen that I am aware of since testing began. Now,

95
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: there was in the summer there was a report about

96
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Texans a few players having the COVID nineteen

97
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: at that point, but that was in I don't know,

98
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: I think it was back in May. It was before

99
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: training camp even started. But from the time that we

100
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: have been testing daily, this is the first player to

101
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: have been tested positive with COVID nineteen. Or that player

102
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: that is going on to the COVID nineteen list is

103
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: Max Sharping. So the building was closed today. In fact,

104
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: was not going in today because I'm doing everything remotely

105
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: anyways for the next few days being on the bye week,

106
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: so there are some people not totally affected, but with

107
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: a game not happening on Sunday, there is a little

108
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: bit of a break, so you don't you kind of

109
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: ferret this thing out over the next many ever days

110
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: before the Texas play again, which will be Sunday, November ninth,

111
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: I believe if my days are correct. First second, yeah,

112
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: I think it's the ninth at Jacksonville, so we've got

113
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: some time. The building was closed today. They went through

114
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: and did all the testing protocols, and they're doing the

115
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: contact tracing and you know, the little connection deals that

116
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: we wear all the time. Certainly hated hearing that news

117
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: about Max, but a statement released about a half hour

118
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 1: ago said that he is going on the COVID nineteen

119
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: list the first of the Texans. The other piece of

120
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: news that went along with this news that Isaiah Coulter

121
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver is due to be activated to the fifty

122
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: three man roster. Now, if you remember, Isaiah Coulter, fifth

123
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: round pick out of Rhode Island, missed a little bit

124
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: at the beginning of training camp and then for the

125
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: first two to two and a half weeks of training camp.

126
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: I thought he showed a lot of promise. I mean,

127
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 1: if the rookies, I thought, man he I know, wide

128
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: receiver was kind of a jammed up position, but man,

129
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: he's got go go skills. He can go down the field,

130
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: he can go get the ball in the air. He's man.

131
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: This guy's kind of inspector gadget with some wheels. He

132
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: can adjust. He made a catch on the ground one

133
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: day I couldn't believe. And then he got dinged up

134
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: at some point and he got put on injured reserve. Well,

135
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: they put him in the twenty one day waiting period

136
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and they were nearing the end

137
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: of that period, had to make a decision. And so

138
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: apparently the decision is that Isaiah Coulter will move up

139
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: to fifty three man roster. Now you can read into

140
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: that what you will about trades. There was an Ian

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: Rappaport tweet today about teams calling the Texans about a

142
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: few of the wide receivers, and they named Will Fuller

143
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: and they named Randall Cobb. Look, none of that has

144
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: been set in stone, nothing has been solidified, and I

145
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: would imagine the teams probably have deadlines at the end

146
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: of this week because they want to get that testing

147
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: done as soon as possible once that player arrives. The

148
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: multiple Ravens did that with jonnikn Akway. They made the

149
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: deal last week so he get out that five day

150
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: waiting period and then get on the field. And they

151
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: actually had a picture of him today at practice as

152
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens get ready for an AFC North battle with

153
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers. That's gonna be a fun one on Sunday,

154
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: so you get a chance to kick back and watch that.

155
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: That'll be fun. But what we know right now, the

156
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: Texans building is closed. They're going through their protocols, and

157
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: they've also activated Isaiah Coulter, a rookie from otta Rhode Island,

158
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: and I'm geeked to see him. I hope we get

159
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: a chance to see him. Okay, I do have the

160
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: three coaches that are gonna join me, but I decided

161
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: with Texans Audio jukebox, why not get some sound from

162
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: some of the coaches that went to the podium. I

163
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: guess we have one podium now, it's not really podium,

164
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of a zoom set up. So too little

165
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: Texans Audio jukebox and let's start with Anthony Weaver was

166
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: asked at one in six, what do you what do

167
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: you tell your players? What's the one thing you want

168
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: them to know? You know, I'm preaching these guys about

169
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: not letting the negativity destroy the result. You know what

170
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: happens in these situations. Haven't been on both sides of

171
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: this coin? Now? Is is as players, you know you're

172
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: you're embarrassed obviously to be here. You go out and

173
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: you know you're hearing all your coaches stink and this,

174
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: and then on the coaching side, to hear your players

175
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: think and all these things. And and what I tell

176
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: those guys is, we can't buy into that. We can't complain,

177
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: we can't play the blame game. We can't get defensive,

178
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: because the second we do, we're making each and every

179
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: one of those people right, and it becomes a self

180
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: fulfilling prophecy. So I just I tell them all to

181
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: just stay on board, to fight for one another, to

182
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: stay together, because we're all we got. And I think

183
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: as long as you know, I continue to convey that

184
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: to them and preach that to them, then we'll get

185
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: just that and those guys will fight and stay together.

186
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: I've been on an Old ten team before that is

187
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: as difficult as anything you could do. Did that in

188
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: college my junior year, and it is a difficult, difficult

189
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: tie to stay the course at that point. But if

190
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: you've got good guys in the locker room, understand the

191
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: mission and know what they've got to do, that's what

192
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: they have to do. And I think Anthony Weaver is

193
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: definitely the right guy to be preaching that to them.

194
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: Also from Anthony Weaver, he was asked about JJ Watt.

195
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: JJ is obviously being mentioned in trade rumors and all

196
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: those kinds of things. Santhony was asked, does JJ mean

197
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: to this organization? Oh, manum one of my you know,

198
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: one of my biggest you know, when you look at

199
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: my resume, he's gonna say coach JJ Watt. Now, that

200
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't mean a whole lot unless he's done all the

201
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: things that he's done for this organization and the way

202
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: that he plays for the city and all the things

203
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: he's done, you know, as a philanthropist, and I mean

204
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: he is. He is a tremendous leader for this organization

205
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: and m And obviously I wish we were having a

206
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: better year because there's nothing that would bring me more

207
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: Joy than to send him out with a Super Bowl ring.

208
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: So I don't think you can put in the worst.

209
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: It's exactly what he means to this organization in this city.

210
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that I could have said that better.

211
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: I think we've said it perfectly. And I heard Julio

212
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: Jones when he was asked this question this week about

213
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: trade rumors the Falcon's not having a great season. They

214
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: got an inter him coach as well. They're kind of

215
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: the same situation and Julio drafted in the same year

216
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: as JJ Watt. Julio said, I know what I mean

217
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: to the city of Atlanta, and I thought that was

218
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: a really interesting comment. And he was like, I'm not

219
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: going anywhere. I know what I mean to this city.

220
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: And I thought that was really dead on. And I

221
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: think JJ means the same thing to the city of Houston.

222
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: But it's, you know, a situation. A lot of people

223
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: have been talking about trying to get him an opportunity

224
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: go get a ring or not. Obviously, I don't think

225
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: there's a question that I'd like him to stay, the

226
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: organization would like him to stay. But that's you know,

227
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: everything's fluid at this point, especially when you're one and

228
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: six and that's very very unfortunately. All right, let's cut

229
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: it there and when we come back, it's time for

230

Speaker 1: a Texans uniform. He's over the gimmicks, he's over the talk.

00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,840

321
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: to contact Sports Radio six test the Texans Plane. Here plane,

322
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: What are the experts predicting about this week's big game?

323

Speaker 1: Extra points? Saturday Night. It's at ten thirty or after

324
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: the late Global News on ABC thirteen. EAT for this

325
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,159

Speaker 1: Visit Houston Texans dot com today to register to take

327
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: the stats challenge. All right, I love stats of all kinds.

328
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: This one I think is one of the better ones.

329
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: Yards per exemp for a quarterback. You can see guys

330
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: put up a lot of yards. Has happening college A

331
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: lot guys have a lot of yards, but their attempts

332
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: are off the charts. Think Gardner Minshu through it like

333
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: six hundred times back when he was at Washington State

334
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: as a senior and he had like five thousand yards.

335
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, he's got five thousand yards. Yeah,

336
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: but his yards per attempt for like five or six

337
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: yards per attempt, well number one in the league right now.

338
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: And yards per attempt is a man you know, well

339
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: that is DeShawn Watson at eight point eight yards per attempt.

340
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: He's throwing it two hundred thirty nine times and his

341
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: two thousand ninety five passing yards right now is second

342
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: in the league behind Matt Ryan. But Ryan only has

343
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: a seven point six yards per attempt because he's thrown

344
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: it at forty seven more times than Deshaun, so eight

345
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: point eight yards per attempt Sean. Deshaun very efficient in

346
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: pushing the ball down in the field with his throws. Okay,

347
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: here's your trivia question for the night. Shaun Watson went

348
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: to what university? Yes? I know you all know it's Clemson, right, Well,

349
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: answer this trivia question. Where did the president of the

350
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: Houston Texans go to school? Well, yes, I wouldn't be

351
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: asking you if you didn't already know it's Clemson. Jamie

352
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: Roots from went to Clemson. Storied soccer career, tremendous businessman

353
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: who's been the president of the Texans for a while.

354
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: And he's somebody that I know the organization holding high

355
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: regard and should I look up to him immensely and

356
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: drew an opportunity to sit with him and go through

357
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: a number of things. It's a really fun conversation with

358
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: Drew Doughty and the president of your Houston Texans, Jamie Roots.

359
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: We got team president Jamie Roots with us, and I

360
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: say team president, but we got to call you noted

361
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: author now these days, Jamie, because you have ended a book.

362
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: It's called The Winning Game Plan. Why did you write this? Well, Drew,

363
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: We've had it such an incredible run with the Houston Texans,

364
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: and I think back to two thousand when we launched

365
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: the team, and so many people told me, look, here's

366
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: the deal in Houston, Texas. If you win, people will come.

367
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: If you lose, people won't come. And that's just the

368
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: way it works. And I never believe that. I really

369
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: felt in my heart that there was a plan that

370
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: we could put together that would help us and allow

371
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: us to be very successful as a business despite what

372
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: happens on the field, because the reality is the NFL

373
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: is set up for every team to go five hundred,

374
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: and if you bank on winning, you're not going to

375
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: do it every year. So there's got to be something

376
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: else going on. My background is more consumer products, although

377
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: I've been involved with athletics my entire life, and so

378
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: I understand the idea of what is the human need

379
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: that we fulfill and focus on that and because people

380
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: can watch our games at home, there's a reason why

381
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: they come out and support the Houston Texans. And that's

382
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: what we needed to tap into. And that's what the

383
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: Winning Game Plan is all about. Yeah, you kind of

384
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: touched a little bit on it. But people might say, Okay,

385
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: he's the president of a football team. It's called the

386
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: Winning game Plan. Oh, this is a sports book. I'm

387
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: not interested. But it's much more in a sports book,

388
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: isn't It kind of applies to a lot of different

389
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: area areas of disciplines. Right. Well, you know, my background

390
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: is NBA, Harvard, Procter, and Gamble IBM before getting into sports.

391
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: And so what I've done is taken all of these

392
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: things I learned from an academic perspective and in business,

393
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: and then learned along the way. You know, I don't

394
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: read sports books. I read Harvard Business Review and I

395
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: read Wall Street Journal, and those are the things that

396
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: are impacting the processes that we put together the way

397
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: we go about doing what we do, which has really

398
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: delighted our fans and our communities. So it's not a

399
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: sports book, although it's kind of interesting that the principles

400
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: are best practice, right, they are things that you would

401
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: learn in any NBA program, Not exactly the same because

402
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: we have our spin on it, but it's really interesting

403
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: to read because they're in a sporting context and who

404
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: doesn't love the game of football. Yeah, and you just

405
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: talked about some of the stuff that that you you've

406
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: referenced in your life. But as far as leadership goes,

407
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: you've plucked from a lot of different folks across a

408
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: wide range of subjects in areas, and you've melted it

409
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,239
Speaker 1: with what you got. What have you taken? What are

410
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: some of the best principles and best leaders that you've

411
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: kind of taken from that that kind of shows up

412
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: in this book. I tell you, if you were to

413
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: put it all in a ball because and you can't

414
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: because there's so many components that are that are talked about. Uh.

415
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: The best leaders are servant leaders. They see themselves of

416
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: servants of the organization of the team. Uh. You know,

417
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: they don't produce the results. They just create an environment

418
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: where others can do their very best every day and

419
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: feel very rewarded at the results that they achieve. And

420
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: that's for me. I mean, it's as you as you

421
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: as you ascended in any organization, you do less and

422
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: less things almost exclusively people in terms of the talent

423
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: and the ability to work well with others. Whether you're

424
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: working up, down, out, or across, it's all about working

425
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: with people. You know, you mentioned servant or being a

426
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: servant of the organization, but you've also stepped out of

427
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: that over the last two decades here in the city

428
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: of Houston. You've helped bring a pair of Super Bowls

429
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: to town. During this pandemic, You've been very very active

430
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: as far as being safe and helping the city, the county,

431
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: the state progress forward and get through this. How much

432
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: have you learned in those areas when you've had to

433
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: go outside the organization and really help the community. Because

434
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: I know that helping the community and doing great things

435
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: for the community is something that's very very important to

436
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: you and very important to the Texans well, and it's

437
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: very important to the McNair family. And that's why this

438
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: has been such a good fit for me, because I've

439
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: always been very passionate about serving the community that serves

440
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: us so well doing great things for others. There's a

441
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: great Gandhi line quote that they to find yourself is

442
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: to lose yourself in the service of others, and I've

443
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: tried to live that the enlightened self interest component to it.

444
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: It's also very good for our business because I mentioned

445
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: earlier about managing up, down, out, and across managing out

446
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: of the business. You know, you want to be respected

447
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: and to the extent people respect you that you operate

448
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: with integrity, with character. You do what you say, what

449
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: you mean, and you mean what you say, you follow

450
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: through all commitments. They will interpret that everyone associated with

451
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: you within the organization is of that same character. So

452
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: I think it does create a very very powerful halo

453
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans within our community. You know, working

454
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: in sports is fun. That's what everyone thinks from the outside,

455
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: and it is fun. But there are trying times. There

456
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: have been some real hurdles and obstacles that you and

457
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: the Texans have had to overcome throughout the two decades

458
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: from you know, time to time to time. How important

459
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: is keeping the same attitude, keeping the same high energy,

460
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: whether things are going really great like in twenty eleven,

461
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: like in twenty twelve, or when you're kind of in

462
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: the valley at times. Yeah, So that that's something that

463
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: I've thought deeply about and have done lots of presentations

464
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: on the what plays do you need to call in

465
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: handling adversity and handling success because and I will tell you,

466
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: as tough as adverse conditions are, it's even harder to

467
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 1: handle success. Success is just a distraction. Everybody's telling you

468
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: how great you are. You start to swallow that poison

469
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: pill of success that dom Caper's always talked about, and

470
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: before you know it, you're you're back on your tail again.

471
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: Because this is an unforgiving business. So the key is

472
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: you have to stay right in the middle. When things

473
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: look bad, it's never as bad as you think it is.

474
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: And when things are going great, you're just one loss

475
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: away from being back down in the dumps. And so

476
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: you've got to just really, from week to week you're

477
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: either handling adversity or navigating success, and both of them

478
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: really require tremendous effort to stay even. This isn't a

479
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: book you just whip out in a couple of weeks

480
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: or a couple of months. This is something you've been

481
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: writing really all your life, isn't it. Yeah, Well, I've

482
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: I speak a lot and early in my actually the

483
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: career that I had at the Columbus Crew spoke a

484
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: lot really trying to promote the team, but started to

485
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: develop a philosophy on leadership and development of staff, etc.

486
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: And then when I came to the Houston, Texans, I

487
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: continue to do the same thing. So in terms of

488
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: writing this book, the first thing I did was went

489
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: back to the you know, scores of presentations that I've

490
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: done to reveal how we do what we do. And

491
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: then the trick was just writing stories that rather than

492
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: me standing in front of an audience and telling them

493
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: the story that illustrates the point, I had to put

494
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: it down on paper. Why is this book perfect to

495
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: come out in the pandemic and what we're going through

496
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: is a as a world? Well, do you know anybody

497
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: out there? It doesn't need inspiration. Seriously, it's been such

498
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: a trying time and this tale is really very uplifting.

499
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: It will be hard for people to read this and

500
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: not feel inspired to go out and overcome whatever might

501
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: be because at the end of the day, it's not

502
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: your external conditions that matter, it's your attitude towards it.

503
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: And really attitude means so much. And at the end

504
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: of the book, I talk about being an optimist, which

505
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: Bob McNair always was, and he had a great line.

506
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen somebody successful who wasn't so being

507
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: optimistic all the time being an overlearner. Right. We read

508
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: a lot of things, we hear a lot of things,

509
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: but how much of it truly digs into our subconscious

510
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: so that it's available to us at all times whenever?

511
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: As for me, whenever a crisis comes up. My fourth

512
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: place for handling university are top of mind and you

513
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: don't have to think about it. You just implement it

514
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: and you go and do it by a great football

515
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: player who's studied his playbook like crazy, right, And when

516
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: you do that, you can play much faster. When guys

517
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: think it's a real problem, you've got to not think.

518
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: You got to just react. And I guess number three

519
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: is an attitude that's been part of my life forever, actually,

520
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: from the time that I was at Clemson University, and

521
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: I tell the story of being at go into a

522
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: national championship game and making the commitment to play to win,

523
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: play to win, and everything that I do. Life is hard.

524
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 1: It's hard to just compete, but to consistently win just

525
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: takes a little bit more, just a little edge. You

526
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: don't have to be a night and day difference. You

527
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: just have to be a little bit better, work a

528
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: little bit harder, prepare a little bit more, and you

529
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: can achieve your dreams. Jamie, it's been great talking with you.

555
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: time to peel back a bunch of layers and crack

556
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: away at that facade of Texans team president and noted

557
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: author Jamie Roots. Jamie, welcome to Drew's Dozen. It's always

559
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: want to thank you for having me on. But I've

560
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: been here for twenty years and this is the first

561
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: time you've ever invited me to be part of Drew's Dozen.

562
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: It's true you have hosted Dear Drew, however, so let's

563
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: full disclosure. You have been invited on, but this is

564
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: the first time we got you in the hot seat.

565
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: And let's start off with the Doozy. Okay, better movie

566
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: about North Korea, Team America World Police or the Interview.

567
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, that's like deciding between ice cream

568
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: and cookies. They both are amazing. I can't, I can't

569
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: make a choice. You've stopped me. Okay, well, because you,

570
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: for everyone listening and watching, you recommended the interview to me,

571
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: and I watched it. I saw it. That's awesome. You

572
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: need to see Team America World Police. And you saw

573
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: the Puppets movie. There, Okay, I won't cop out Team America,

574
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: all right, all right, by sides hurt as I watched that, Yes,

575
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: mine did, back in two thousand and four, and every

576
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: time I've watched it since subsequently. So yeah, excellent choice there. Okay.

577
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if everyone knows this because they see

578
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: Jamie Roots they think football. But you were an excellent

579
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: soccer player. You won two national titles with Clemson in

580
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, center midfield or captain of your senior

581
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: year team that won it all. But afterwards you were

582
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: also in addition to working in the world as a businessman,

583
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: you were also a hell of a big time coach

584
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: as an assistant, and you were assistant for a bit

585
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: under Bora Militanovich. Right, Well, I don't know about that.

586
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: I was under Jerry Yaglely at Indiana University and I

587
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: spent two years there with him. But Bora I had

588
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: a brief encounter with when I was getting a coaching certificate.

589
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: We were doing a demonstration on the field. He put

590
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: down the ball, he said, can anybody hit this to

591
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: the top corner? And I said, I can't. I hit it.

592
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: He goes, you have good touch. That's a great yeah.

593
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: I bour Militanovich. For those that don't know, he coached

594
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: the USA in the nineteen ninety four World Cup and

595
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: he's coached many other nations over the last forty years

596
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: or so. Great coach, But that always fascinated me. You

597
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: told me that story a long time ago, and I

598
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: was like, it's pretty darn cool because that guy's I mean,

599
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: he's a giant in the coaching world of cees. He's

600
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: a legend. He did a great he did great things

601
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: for American soccer around the World Cup. Yeah. Okay, let's

602
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: say the Texans win a game noon game and energy stadium.

603
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: What's the way you unwind after the game is over

604
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: and you head on home well, you know, there's a

605
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: lot of work that we have to do in terms

606
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: of recapping what happened at the game off the field

607
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: and identify the ways that we can get better. I mean,

608
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: we have this get better mentality that's just part of

609
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: our culture. So it's probably about five o'clock or show

610
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: that I get home and I just I go with

611
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: my back porch, hang out with my family. Used to

612
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,520

720
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: folks as a business idea, and I just wanted to

721
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,680

727
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 1: over the hump, you're like, why did I worry so much? Everything?

728
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: Like I say so many times, everything will be all

729
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: right in the end, and if it's not all right

730
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,560

Speaker 1: Welcome back to this edition of Texans All Access from

846
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 1: the Hunted Texans Radio studio. I am your host, John Harris.

847
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity on Tuesday to catch up with

848
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: three of the young assistant coaches one on one, and

849
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: I have something in common with two of them, and

850
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: that is we come from a football family. And so

851
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: when I sat down with Danton Lynn, that's the first

852
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to know in a coach's family, was

853
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: it like mine? Where when you and your dad just

854
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: sit there and say nothing, and then when the football

855
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: conversation comes up, you don't shut up? Or can you

856
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: actually talk about something other than football. Here's what coach

857
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: had to say. Here's Danton Lynn, secondary coach for your

858
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. All right, Coach, I was talking to Bill

859
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: Lying a little while ago, and all of us have

860
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: something in common and that's we grew up in a

861
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: football family. When I know your dad's busy, but when

862
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: you guys get a chance to talk, do you just

863
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 1: chat and talk about football? And that's where the conversation goes,

864
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: you talk about family because I know for Will and I,

865
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 1: we both were like, nah, we don't talk about anything

866
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: but football. How is it when you sit and talk

867
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: with your dad, you guys talk ball and you try

868
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: and talk about other things. Yeah, he's better than me.

869
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: During the season when we talk, I can't help but

870
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: just talk about ball the entire time. So we talk

871
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: about ball majority for the most part during the year.

872
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: In the off season, Like I said, he's better than me,

873
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: he'll try to see how I'm doing in my impersonal life. Yeah,

874
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: but with me, I'm off ball with him right now. Yeah.

875
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: I can imagine when you were growing up, you're around

876
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: the game, you play, You go to Penn State. Did

877
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: you feel like coaching was what you wanted to do?

878
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: Did you feel like you were destined to go into it?

879
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: Was it what you wanted to do? Yeah? Yeah, So

880
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: I always obviously wanted to play in the NFL, and

881
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: then when I was in fifth grade, my dad started

882
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: to coach, and then at that age, I could start

883
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: working at training camp. So I'd be in a boy

884
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: at training camp, but then I'd go to his meetings.

885
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: And I did that from fifth grade on. So from

886
00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: fifth grade, I was like, all, right, after I get

887
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm playing, this is the transition. I want to do

888
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: exactly what he's doing. So I've known that since I

889
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: was a kid. That's pretty awesome to know. I mean,

890
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: I've got into this role. But man, it took me

891
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: till I was thirty five to get here, and now

892
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm thirty seven. No, I'm like forty eight, So I've

893
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 1: figured it out at some point. Coach your secondary coaching

894
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 1: corners and safeties together. It feels like it's an interesting

895
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: group because I think about like this, when you were

896
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: back in college, you started to see some of the

897
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: RPO stuff, maybe not as much, but we really got

898
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: to a point now where you see a lot of it.

899
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: Passing schemes are much more complex, much different. How is

900
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:36,240
Speaker 1: it sort of evolved since you got into coaching even

901
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: till now the passing game that makes it that much

902
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: more difficult to cover these passing games throughout the NFL. Yeah,

903
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 1: it's changed a lot you see the college game leak

904
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: more and more into the NFL game every single year,

905
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: and with the RPOs, with the quarterbacks who can extend

906
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: plays and run, it just makes it tougher and tough

907
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: running defense. That's why for us we try to be

908
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: as inversatile as we can, and it helps with the eyes,

909
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: it helps with mixing up coverages, just having as many

910
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: guys do different things as we possibly can, just to

911
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 1: help equalize it. Because you're right, over the past eight

912
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: ten years, you know that you've seen offenses change more

913
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: and more and more. Yeah, it's been impressive to watch

914
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: and it also makes to me kind of player evaluation

915
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: really interesting. You draft a guy a couple of years ago,

916
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,240
Speaker 1: and Lonnie Johnson, he's got the size of a safety,

917
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: but he plays corner. But then you guys, getting me

918
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,479
Speaker 1: place corner, But then you move him to a little

919
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: bit more of a safety role this year, what have

920
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,959
Speaker 1: you seen in Lonnie, coach that he made you feel

921
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: like safety was the right role and be what kind

922
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: of progress have you seen from Lonnie in that role.

923
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: So coming into the year, we knew we had a

924
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: versatile group and Lonnie was one of those guys who

925
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: had only played corner, but just from a highweight speed standpoint,

926
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: and he's also very physical. We knew that he could

927
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,479
Speaker 1: play the money position on third down. He could also

928
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: potentially play safety. So when the season started, we wanted

929
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: to try to get all of our best guys on

930
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 1: the field, and the way it worked out was to

931
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: get him on the field. If you want to get

932
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: these other guys, you know, put him at safety, and

933
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: we did it for the first couple of games. Didn't

934
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: know if it was gonna be a permanent switch or not.

935
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: And you know, he picked He picks up things fast.

936
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: He's been there since week two now, and you know,

937
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: it's been cool just to see him grow in that spot.

938
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: When you're a corner, you're out there, you're kind of

939
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: in your own world. He's just covering his guy. You

940
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: received checks, but you don't give any So it's been

941
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: cool to see him come out of his show. He's

942
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: a lot more vocal on the football field now, making

943
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: checks help getting people aligned. So I think his growth

944
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: there has been great, and I just think he's going

945
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: to continue to grow. And then after you have a

946
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: full offseason and full offseason and camp with him at

947
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: that spot, I think the sky's the limit for him

948
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: at that spot. Coach, I think he's the dream scenario

949
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: in some sense. A guy you draft and develop the

950
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: way you want, but in the NFL you've got to

951
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: bring in free agents. Bradley Roby had experience doing things

952
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: the way Denver did it, and he did it very

953
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 1: well with them. Then he comes here to Houston. Houston

954
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 1: does it a little different, you know way, But it

955
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: feels like watching Bradley the way that he has grown

956
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: as a cover corners. A guy comes up and attacks you.

957
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 1: It really feels like he has taken to what you

958
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: guys have been teaching. What have you seen from Bradley

959
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: into two years that he has been here with the team.

960
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: You know, he's very versatile player within himself. On the outside.

961
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: He can match up with guys like Tyreek Hill, he

962
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: can play against guys like a J. Brown. There's really

963
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: no guys he can't cover. And he's just super competitive.

964
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: You know. He takes it very personal in coverage if

965
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: he gets beat. And the difference I would say for

966
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: him here is that we probably mix up our coverages

967
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more so. There is a learning curve

968
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 1: as far as all the zones. But he's picked all

969
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: that stuff up. You've seen him get more instinctive, had

970
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,879
Speaker 1: a good play against Tennessee a couple weeks ago, and

971
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: he's continuing to improve each and every week. Because I

972
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: always thinking about that. You mentioned in about corners. They

973
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: kind of live on an island and they have to

974
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: be the most forgetful people. Your role as coach where

975
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: obviously big plays. Yeah you get excited about it, but

976
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: obviously they're gonna be something that don't go their way,

977
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: where you have to kind of be, hey, look, you're okay.

978
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: How tough is that to kind of play that role

979
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: of you know, the coach win, a cornerback is not

980
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: having his best day, he is getting beat. How tough

981
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: is that to try and get those players to forget

982
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: it and go play the next down? You know what,

983
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: I think it starts with me. I think I always

984
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: go back to when I played. You know, they always

985
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 1: say have short term memory, but then you'd had that

986
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: coach that would just flip out on you on the sidelines,

987
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: like how can I forget it? When you keep on together?

988
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 1: So I go back to that, and you know, I

989
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: try to give them there and coaching points that they need,

990
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: but make sure when they go back out there on

991
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: the field that next dride they're as confident as they

992
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: can be. And if there's anything else we need to do,

993
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: we'll take care of that after the game. But I

994
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: don't want to do that stuthing during the game. I

995
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: want those guys feeling as confident as they impossibly can coach.

996
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: I talked about Lyne Johnson at one safety other safety.

997
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: Justin Reid been in for three years. He is a

998
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: guy that really seems to have taken to the leadership

999
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: position on a defense. What have you seen in the

1000
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: growth of Justin Reigion's three years. He's grown a lot.

1001
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: I would say this year has probably been his biggest

1002
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: stride as far as now he's the main back there.

1003
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: You know, we don't have the Honey Badger, we don't

1004
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: have Gibson, Kareem Jackson and j Joe. It's really him

1005
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: and he knows this defense more than anybody out there.

1006
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,240
Speaker 1: He gets people aligned, he makes checks, He can also

1007
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: play multiple roles. He can play in man coverage. He

1008
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,240
Speaker 1: does a lot for us and this year, just mentally,

1009
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: we've put a lot on his plate and he's stepped

1010
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: up into the challenge. Bye week is here. I know

1011
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: everybody here's bye week and they think, oh, you guys

1012
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: go for seven days and go off and do what

1013
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: you want to do. And that's not quite the case.

1014
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: Look for you, coach, your bye week will be consumed

1015
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: with some self scout and some of that process. But

1016
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, for the rest of the bye week, what

1017
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: really do you have plan before you come back and

1018
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: get ready for Jacksonville following the buy. You know, this

1019
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: bye week's a little bit different because he's still have

1020
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: to come in and COVID test every day, so he

1021
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: can't leave town or go too far. But me and

1022
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: my fiance were moving into a town home, so she's

1023
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: been doing a majority of unpacking, so now it's my

1024
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: turn to pick up my load and help her out

1025
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 1: around the house. Of Yeah, I know exactly what you'll

1026
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: be doing during the bye week. I think we've all

1027
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: been there in in some sense. Coach, I really appreciate

1028
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: your time. Thank you so much, my friend. Thank you man.

1173
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: I have a feeling he'd be a pretty darn good

1174
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: math teacher. But he was a pretty darn good quarterback

1175
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: in some key situations for this organization. And now he

1176
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: is helping DeShawn Watson become one of the better quarterbacks

1177
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: in the league. Had a chance to go one on

1178
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: one with t J. Yates. Now, coach, all right, please

1179
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:27,720

01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: and now lesson they turned to you, the sage wise

1183
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: veteran of all those years that as a quarterback and

1184
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: now you're coach Yates. Yeah, this is a little weird sometimes.

1185
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,439
Speaker 1: You know, guys that I played with that are here

1186
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: as players still walk up to me and say, what's up,

1187
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: coach Yates, And it's just it's so kind of weird

1188
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: to me to hear some of the guys that used

1189
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: to play with, But you know, getting used to it.

1190
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 1: I said that to wee were the other day about

1191
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: preparing for opposing quarterbacks, and he was like, yeah, Week three,

1192
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, you know, Aaron Rodgers. I'm like, wow, that's

1193
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: gotta be weird. You know, guys you played against and

1194
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 1: then you're prepping to go against. I'm sure you probably

1195
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,479
Speaker 1: had an instance or two this year of that where

1196
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: you're there's a guy on the other side that you

1197
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 1: may have faced when you were playing that you're not

1198
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 1: coaching against. Yeah. Absolutely, you know, I'm not. I'm not

1199
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: too far removed. So there's only a couple of years

1200
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: in between, but yeah, there's guys that I've you know,

1201
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: played against and played with, and teams and coaches that

1202
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: I've I've played against and played for, So you know,

1203
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of carry over, and uh, it

1204
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: kind of helps you learn about the league and the

1205
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 1: different schemes you're gonna be going in going against two

1206
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: every week. You got a league in twenty eleven, TJ.

1207
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 1: And obviously nine years later, how have you've seen offensive

1208
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 1: football change in the NFL when you walked in the

1209
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: first day as a rookie to where you are now coaching. Yeah, it's, uh,

1210
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,479
Speaker 1: just the whole league. I guess it's kind of taken

1211
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: on a little more of the college football theme, with

1212
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: a lot more RPOs, a lot more spread out football.

1213
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: The uh, you know, the days of a two back,

1214
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: you know, true fullback offense in the NFL are kind

1215
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: of dying off. And that's kind of what I came

1216
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: up when I was in college. I was kind of

1217
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: the football that I grew up on, So you know,

1218
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: I didn't do much spread in college or anything, and

1219
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: I was in a West Coast system, you know. As

1220
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: soon as I got into the league, so you know,

1221
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 1: that part of football is something that I'm continuing to

1222
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: learn and grow and but it's definitely taking over the

1223
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: league with all the athletes that you have at the

1224
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: quarterback position across the league and every year coming into

1225
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: the league. So that's kind of the way this ship

1226
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: is steering in the NFL. As for you, you just

1227
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: mentioned it the educational aspect of it. I mean, people

1228
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: think you're a coach. You're obviously teaching to everybody else,

1229
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: but there's also this period of learning too because you

1230
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: have one of the more dynamic quarterbacks in the NFL.

1231
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: How is that part going tj in the offseason or

1232
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: actually even during the season, seeing things on TV that

1233
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: you'll like that, hey, could we do this? How's that

1234
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 1: part gone for you? Just learning some of the other

1235
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: nuances of the other offensive pieces that maybe you weren't

1236
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: a part of when you were a player or even

1237
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: early on as a coach, but now you really can

1238
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: use them with the quarterback that you have. Absolutely, on

1239
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: any time on any team that I have played for,

1240
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 1: there hasn't not been very many quarterback runs, you know,

1241
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: in the system. So that is definitely a new thing

1242
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: to me, and it just opens up your playbooks so

1243
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 1: much if you have that dynamic of a player that

1244
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: can can throw it as well as he can throw

1245
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: it and is run as well as he can run,

1246
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: and still have the same instincts and mobility to get

1247
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: you out of problems even when you're dropped back passing

1248
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: and not a design run or whatnot. So you know,

1249
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: that type of player, you know, doesn't come along very often,

1250
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 1: and he's allowed us to you know, be very uh,

1251
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, creative in the ways that we can use them. Obviously,

1252
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: you know he's your franchise quarterback and you don't want

1253
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: to you know, run quarterback power every single play, but

1254
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: just to have that dimension in your offense makes everything

1255
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 1: that much more multiple. What have you seen in the

1256
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,439
Speaker 1: Sean the biggest chain since you've got here last year

1257
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: till now, what's been probably the biggest positive change you

1258
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: seem to Sean make as a leader of this team.

1259
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,919
Speaker 1: You know, just it sits that year to year thing

1260
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: where you know, from one year it's more about defenses

1261
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: or learning more about blitz packages or the schemes that

1262
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,839
Speaker 1: you're going up against too. He is just his general

1263
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,599
Speaker 1: football knowledge has just continued to grow and grow every year.

1264
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 1: That he's been in the league and it will continue

1265
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,719
Speaker 1: to do that. You know, it's just comes from experience.

1266
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 1: He's already played so much football in this league and

1267
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 1: he's so he's still so very young, So you know,

1268
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: it's really encouraging for the rest of his career how

1269
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 1: much he's going to grow from year to year and

1270
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 1: how much knowledge he's gonna gain against you with the

1271
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 1: defense that he's going to be going again. So he's

1272
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, the ceiling is, uh, you know, so high

1273
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 1: for him. TJ. You were a player, so I think

1274
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 1: you can answer this question pretty well. To Sean actually

1275
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: had coming for an interview. I think it was after

1276
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: his rookie year or maybe last year, I can't remember,

1277
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: but I asked him about the game slowing down, because

1278
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 1: you hear that phrase used a lot. The game is

1279
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:03,719
Speaker 1: slowing down, game slows down. Is that you, playing quarterback

1280
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 1: can understand this? Is that a true thing? That the

1281
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 1: game is slowing down just because you're making decisions that

1282
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: much more just right off the top of your head

1283
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 1: as opposed to have to think through things. Is Is

1284
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: that a true thing? The games slowing down? And have

1285
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,839
Speaker 1: you seen that? Four? To Sean, now it is fourth year. Yeah, absolutely,

1286
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, it definitely slows down for you.

1287
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: The more experience you have, the more the more you

1288
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,679
Speaker 1: think less about what you're doing as like a routine.

1289
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 1: You know, you're breaking the huddle, you're making the mic point,

1290
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: you're moving guys around and shifting. The more that becomes

1291
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 1: routine to you, the more you can pay attention to

1292
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: the defenses that you've seen, the more film you watch,

1293
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: you can expect things, so it more speeds you're thinking

1294
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: up and slows the game down. It makes you thinking

1295
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: easier and you process things, you can partmentalize things. It's

1296
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: just the kind of the step in the in the quarterback.

1297
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: You know, progression is becoming a better player is yes,

1298
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 1: to quote the game is slowing down for you, but

1299
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: you know it's more about just how much knowledge you've

1300
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 1: gained from year to year and you know how you

1301
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 1: can use it to your advantage. TJ. You played on

1302
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 1: teams here that went and one DAYFC South played on

1303
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 1: a team here that did not do so well at

1304
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: two and fourteen. Last year, we go to the break

1305
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: after the London trip six and three. This year, we

1306
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: go into the bye week one and six you've had

1307
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: got all those experiences. What is your message to not

1308
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:30,719
Speaker 1: only de Sean, but to the players you're around every day.

1309
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: What's your message to them? With nine weeks left to go,

1310
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 1: let's start with a bye week, what's kind of your

1311
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: message you send them off into the bye week? Yeah,

1312
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, nobody wants to start the way we did,

1313
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: and it's it's tough for everybody, players, coaches, everybody in

1314
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:48,440
Speaker 1: the organization. So when you don't win, it's taxing on you.

1315
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: You know, you start to look at the negatives, you

1316
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 1: start to try to pick and find things that maybe

1317
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: aren't there. So you know it can be it can

1318
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 1: be mentally taxing obviously the players. That's going to be

1319
01:10:56,520 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: physically taxing. So just kind of regroup, you know, take

1320
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 1: some time off, get away from the game for just

1321
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: a little bit um you know, not too far, but

1322
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:07,680
Speaker 1: you know you gotta get a little bit away from

1323
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: it and you gotta just kind of regroup. And this

1324
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: by is coming in a really good time. And think

1325
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 1: for this team. You know, we got a good week

1326
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the season. You know, we

1327
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 1: guess you got to come back with fresh and you know,

1328
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 1: ready to put some ball because there's there's so much time.

1329
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:25,640
Speaker 1: There's nine games left in the season. Um, you know,

1330
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: the way the NFL is structured, you know, you're never

1331
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:30,680
Speaker 1: out of it until the very end. So you know,

1332
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: we know we still have a shot to make something happen.

1333
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: But you know it starts first by getting one win

1334
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: coming out of the bye and then and then going

1335
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:40,600
Speaker 1: from there. But you know, the bye week is is

1336
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: is coming out a good time for us and I

1337
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: think it will help us out in the morning. What

1338
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: does the bye week mean for you? What I mean,

1339
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:49,719
Speaker 1: obviously you don't go for seven days eating bond bonds

1340
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 1: on the couch or seeing him up at the local

1341
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: muni course, But what does it mean for you? What

1342
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 1: do you get? What do you have to do before

1343
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: you kind of go on a break and how much

1344
01:11:58,000 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 1: will break you get? And what are you plan to

1345
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: do with it? Yeah, you know, we definitely look at

1346
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: self scout. You know, we're trying to evaluate what we

1347
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: have done, you know, as coaches, as players and as

1348
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 1: a staff and kind of evaluate what we went through,

1349
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,679
Speaker 1: you know, those first seven games, and try to learn

1350
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 1: from it and get better from it, you know, because

1351
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: if we ignore it, and that's not going to help

1352
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 1: us get better. So you know, we're taking a long,

1353
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 1: hard look at self, scout and seeing what we can

1354
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: do to be becoming a better football team. And you know,

1355
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: you really just gotta from there. You kind of take

1356
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:30,640
Speaker 1: your time, because I think you have to have some

1357
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 1: time away. Everybody does. And I'm looking forward just to

1358
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: hanging out with my boys and taking to school and

1359
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 1: I go get a couple of coffee and just kind

1360
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,639
Speaker 1: of have a normal day for once in a long time.

1361
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 1: But I think it'll be good for all of us.

1362
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,400
Speaker 1: I kind of joked a little bit at the beginning

1363
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 1: about you being called coach when you were a rookie

1364
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: here playing a game. And obviously, when you're playing the game,

1365
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: you just thinking I'll play forever. You know, I'll figure

1366
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: it out at the end. But did you ever think

1367
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: that you would be a coach? Is this what you

1368
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 1: wanted to do when you were done playing a game?

1369
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 1: Was that kind of the plan all along? Um? You know,

1370
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 1: not really. It started coming to me later in my

1371
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: career when you know, you're really solidified into a backup

1372
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 1: role and you really become like another coach. Um, you

1373
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 1: get involved in the game plan more. You you try

1374
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:19,719
Speaker 1: to do everything you can to help out the team

1375
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: as far from the mental aspect, because you know, the

1376
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 1: backup quarterback doesn't help much physically, whether it's helping the

1377
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: starter or helping the coaches of the defense get ready.

1378
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 1: So you know, the more I got into a backup

1379
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: role later in my career, the more I enjoyed that

1380
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 1: part of it. And you know, you know, as far

1381
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 1: as the mental aspect of football really came easy to me.

1382
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: I had had a lot of good coaches growing up

1383
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: that taught me, you know, a lot of football. So

1384
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, the coach was alway Coach O'Brien actually always

1385
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 1: joke about It's like, TJ, you're making a good coach

1386
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 1: one day and I was like, take it easy, I'm

1387
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 1: still playing, you know, So you know, that kind of

1388
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: just kind of felling. You know, I wanted to stay

1389
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: in ball, and you know, I had an opportunity here

1390
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 1: to come coach and it was hard to pass up. Yeah,

1391
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,559
Speaker 1: absolutely what TJ doing a great job. Appreciate you, Tom,

1392
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: I'm a friend. Thank you very much, Thank you, sir.

1393
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: But that was a fun conversation with TJ. Yates now

1394
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: assisting mister DeShawn Watson, both of them from the Atlanta area,

1395
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 1: and I think when Shaw was a rookie, I believe

1396
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 1: it was TJ who actually helped him back in twenty

1397
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: seventeen learned some of the language and the lingo in

1398
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: the offense because TJ spent some time in it in

1399
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen and then back in two thou fifteen, and

1400
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 1: then in two thousand and seventeen, MANJ. TJ ran the

1401
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: gamut and had some incredible, incredible moments for this organization.

1402
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: That would be a cool We do this documentary series

1403
01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: called The fifty three, and my man Tyler Suttark does

1404
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: a tremendous job with it. Tremendous job if he did

1405
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: at fifty three on t J Yates, I mean, some

1406
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 1: of the stuff you would got, no no way, no way,

1407
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:56,600
Speaker 1: thirty fifteen, scramble as a rookie, throwing a touchdown to

1408
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Walter, twenty fifteen, coming back to the team, throwing

1409
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 1: a touchdown at DeAndre Hopkins on Monday Night Football when

1410
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: he'd been with the team like all of two and

1411
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: a half or three weeks, coming back in twenty seventeen.

1412
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just amazing what t J Yates has

1413
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: met to Houston Texans, and now I think he's gonna

1414
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 1: do a great job as a coach. He has already

1415
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,679
Speaker 1: and I think he will continue to do. So, Okay,

Speaker 1: him in the end zone. He ran at twenty two

1518
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: point eight one miles an hour. The other night when

1519
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:51,880
Speaker 1: DK caught Buddha Baker, DK was at twenty two point

1520
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:57,400
Speaker 1: six four miles an hour. In third was Daniel Jones

1521
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: at twenty one point two three eight miles per hour

1522
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: on the run on Thursday night that he tripped. He

1523
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:07,600
Speaker 1: was running that fast, My goodness. But DK Metcalf was flying,

1524
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: but not the fastest. That's tyreek Hill, which I'm sure

1525
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 1: is no surprise to anybody. Aws powers all of the

1526
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:21,440
Speaker 1: next Gen stats in the NFL now and FL translates

1527
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: into I t L and that's in the lab. My partner,

1528
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 1: Drew and I sat down in a very busy bye

1529
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 1: week and well, this is a fun one. We had

1530
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 1: on a number of different topics, and I think it's

1531
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: one topic that Drew just threw off the top of

1532
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:37,360
Speaker 1: his head, to be honest with you, that we hit

1533
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 1: at them. This is a fun one. Take a listen.

1534
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 1: It's in the lab with Drew and John. John. There

1535
01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 1: are clouds swirling all around this organization, all around the

1536
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: city in general, in real life, because there's confronts coming through.

1537
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 1: It's a Tuesday, it's October twenty seventh. So here's what

1538
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. The Texans are in the bye week.

1539
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 1: We have all heard about trade rumors, trade possibilities. So

1540
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 1: to keep this as timeless a podcast as we can,

1541
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: we're not going to address any of them because we

1542
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 1: don't really know. We've heard stuff, yeah, but nothing we

1543
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: could talk about publicly that would really rattle any interest

1544
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: meters even if we did talk about it publicly. Let's

1545
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: instead discuss what self scouting is, because that's what some

1546
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:25,920
Speaker 1: one thing we heard Romeo Cornell describe is what's happening

1547
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:28,639
Speaker 1: with the Texans right now with the bye week with

1548
01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 1: no opponent on the Horizon on Sunday, and we've heard

1549
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien talk about it through the years. We heard

1550
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak before that. I wasn't around for Don papers,

1551
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 1: but I'm sure he talked about the importance of self

1552
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 1: scouting during a bye week. And when we say self scouting,

1553
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: the coaches are looking at tendencies, they're looking at tips

1554
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 1: and tells, and they're just looking at stuff in general

1555
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: that's not working or that is working and needs to

1556
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 1: be augmented. So they want to build up the stuff

1557
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 1: that's working and strip away the things that aren't. Now,

1558
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:04,439
Speaker 1: I've given a very reader's digest version of what self

1559
01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:07,680
Speaker 1: scouting is. But Johnny, how important is it and how

1560
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 1: vital is it if you want to move forward as

1561
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 1: an organization in a season? Yeah, Drew you bring up

1562
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you actually did a pretty good job of

1563
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: nailing it. And I know people would say, well, wait

1564
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 1: a second, are they not doing that throughout the year. Well, look,

1565
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: there's six days between games and there's a ton of

1566
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: things you have to get done. You have to think

1567
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: about the opponent, what does opponent do and what can

1568
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:30,759
Speaker 1: we do well against the opponent? But what the self

1569
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 1: scout opportunity is it's just a deeper dive into what

1570
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:37,839
Speaker 1: you're doing. And some teams will do it and they'll say, hey, defense,

1571
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 1: look at our offense, and offense, you look at our defense,

1572
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 1: and then they share notes with one another and go

1573
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 1: through that because, as crazy as it sounds, and when

1574
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: you practice, you don't practice against your defense or your offense.

1575
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: You face a scout team defense or a scout team offense,

1576
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: so you very rarely kind of mixed together until game

1577
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,040
Speaker 1: day and they put a clock up at sixty minutes

1578
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:04,600
Speaker 1: and they send the time down and the way you go.

1579
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 1: But you don't really go against each other, so a

1580
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 1: lot of times you're not really the offense not really

1581
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: paying attention to what the defense is doing in vice versa,

1582
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: and so self scouting time is kind of that opportunity

1583
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,720
Speaker 1: to do that where the defense can look at you know,

1584
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 1: Anthon Weaver and his defense can look at our offense

1585
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 1: and say, hey, these are the things i'm seeing that

1586
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 1: really have been successful and here's why. Here's some of

1587
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 1: the things that you could probably adapt or adjust, and

1588
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: here's why. And the same could go the other way

1589
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 1: with Tim Kelly and the offense looking at our defense,

1590
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: and so that's really what you get the opportunity to

1591
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: step back and do. And then when that's done, then

1592
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: each unit looks at his own group, his own position,

1593
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 1: or his own unit in the case of Anthi Weaver

1594
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 1: and Tim Kelly, and they look at it. Because I

1595
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 1: can tell you be on a shout out of it.

1596
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 1: Doubt I've done. I've gone through this process during bye

1597
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: week many many years ago. And I remember during the

1598
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 1: bye week as I'm watching the games that we've had,

1599
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: and I didn't go through every single play, just you know,

1600
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 1: as is, but I remembered as I was going through

1601
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:08,000
Speaker 1: one game, I went, wait a second. I realized I

1602
01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 1: was getting in a rut of calling one particular play

1603
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 1: one side, like I was only running that play to

1604
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:16,040
Speaker 1: a particular side. And then I was like, well, let

1605
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:18,679
Speaker 1: me look at the formation. And I was like, man,

1606
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:22,519
Speaker 1: I was only running that formation with that particular play

1607
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 1: and I was running it to the right. The thing

1608
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 1: about it was it was very successful. It was one

1609
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:29,599
Speaker 1: of our most successful plays, but we were running it

1610
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 1: the exact way that if somebody smart on the other

1611
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,519
Speaker 1: side had seen it and went, hey, this, if they're

1612
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:36,680
Speaker 1: in this formation, this is the play they've run one

1613
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent at a time. Well, thankfully late in the

1614
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:41,920
Speaker 1: year when our bye week was I was able to

1615
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: catch it, and so in a couple of big games

1616
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 1: down the stretch, I was able to kind of just

1617
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: tweak it a little bit and we're able to be

1618
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:51,760
Speaker 1: successful with that. So it has a real impact. As

1619
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 1: long as the coaching staff, which I think it will

1620
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 1: give it that credibility and credence, I think they'll end

1621
01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:00,000
Speaker 1: up getting some value out of it for sure. Okay,

1622
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 1: now we're gonna get really in the lavish and we

1623
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 1: don't do this during the season too much, but with

1624
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:07,559
Speaker 1: the tread light trade deadline coming up, you have to

1625
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 1: give up a fourth round pick. But this fourth round

1626
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:15,840
Speaker 1: pick can get you one player who's not playing in

1627
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 1: the NFL anymore. It can get you any player. So

1628
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:21,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the steal of a century essentially, Who

1629
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 1: are you trading for? One player? Would you like to

1630
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:27,720
Speaker 1: add to this team? Right now? I got it? I

1631
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 1: got it? Who man? Now I don't because I had

1632
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,040
Speaker 1: one and then another one popped in my head. I

1633
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:34,680
Speaker 1: got two, and I don't know which one I want

1634
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:36,799
Speaker 1: to use. All Right, you know the look I played.

1635
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 1: I played defense way back in the day. So I'm

1636
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 1: gonna go defense, yep, and I get Deon Sanders. Dang it,

1637
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 1: you took mine. Okay, well then you want me to

1638
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 1: go to the other one. No, no no, no, no, you

1639
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 1: finish yours, You finish your Yeah, all right. I mean,

1640
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 1: look when it's you know, I think about that game

1641
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 1: the other day against DeVante Adams when Bradley Roby went

1642
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:56,639
Speaker 1: out of the game. Look, you don't have the depth

1643
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 1: that corner. You knew that. You know, garyan Conley banged up.

1644
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 1: You moved Blondie Johnson over to safety permanently, or so

1645
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 1: it seems. So. Really, your cover skills and cover guys

1646
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 1: are just you know, guys that don't have a lot

1647
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 1: of experience, guys that haven't done that much. If you

1648
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 1: have Dion Sanders over there and Davante Adams, you just

1649
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:16,280
Speaker 1: lock up all day. Dion, he's yours. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers,

1650
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 1: just don't worry about a whole different part of the field.

1651
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 1: If that's the case exactly. Now, he hadn't seen seventeen

1652
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 1: of thirty four targets. I can promise you that with

1653
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: Dion all over him. So I'll go with Deon Sanders.

1654
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: That's mine because of everything you just said. But also

1655
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:32,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna go out there. No disrespect to you, DeAndre Carter.

1656
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: I love you. You had a good game yet on

1657
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:37,679
Speaker 1: Sunday point where you're going, yeah, but you're Deon Sanders

1658
01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 1: is going to return your kit, your punts because you

1659
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 1: need some difference made in that realm of things, because

1660
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 1: the special teams is held up there into the bargain.

1661
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 1: This year, they've been good. They you can't really bang

1662
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 1: on them too much, but to make them dynamic like that,

1663
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 1: and to get a guy who gets in the end

1664
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 1: zone like that, I'm gonna add Dion and I might

1665
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 1: even play him a little bit of receivers. Mess with

1666
01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 1: some defenses. Okay, you took my first and the one

1667
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:04,799
Speaker 1: I would go after, which was Dion Sanders. Excellent choice.

1668
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna double down on defense, and I'm gonna

1669
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:12,320
Speaker 1: get Lt. The real Lt. Lawrence Taylor. Let's get some

1670
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:16,280
Speaker 1: help off the edge. Let's get some some wild dogs,

1671
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:18,879
Speaker 1: like he used to say, getting after the quarterback, because

1672
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:21,679
Speaker 1: if you do that and you've got Robie and Sanders

1673
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:24,040
Speaker 1: out on the edges, you're gonna get some picks. And

1674
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:26,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna if you don't get sacked, you're gonna get

1675
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 1: some picks. He's gonna make things a lot tougher on folks.

1676
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 1: He's gonna make that defense all around him better. So

1677
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:35,760
Speaker 1: let's add Deon Sanders. Let's add Lawrence Taylor, and hey,

1678
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 1: you got the guy who's coached Lawrence Taylor before and

1679
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 1: Romeo Cornell, so Romeo will know what to do. Yeah, easy, peasy.

1680
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I love this this defense. If yeah, those

1681
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 1: two it you had those My goodness. The one player

1682
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 1: that I considered was on the offensive side of the ball.

1683
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 1: I was going with one or the other. And so

1684
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 1: from the offensive standpoint, if you want to give me

1685
01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:02,400
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders, it could be good. I think Barry Sanders

1686
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 1: in space. Oh, shut it down. I mean, that would

1687
01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:08,600
Speaker 1: just be phenomenal. I got a soft spot in my

1688
01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 1: heart for sweetness though, So yeah, that's true. I choose

1689
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:13,559
Speaker 1: a running back. I'm always gonna go Peyton. You could

1690
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:16,800
Speaker 1: have also done offensively Bruce Matthews and just plug him

1691
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:19,479
Speaker 1: somewhere on the offensive line. Could also make an excellent

1692
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:24,560
Speaker 1: case for Reggie White. Yes, sense, meet Mary Allen. Larry

1693
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 1: Allen of the Cowboys of course you can put him

1694
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:28,640
Speaker 1: at guard, which, by the way, I don't know if

1695
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 1: you watch Sunday Night Football, Drew but Baker, Buddha Baker

1696
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:36,600
Speaker 1: has the interception and DK metcalf ran him down and

1697
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:39,519
Speaker 1: everybody was just losing their minds about it. I was, like, fully,

1698
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 1: so rightfully, but we've seen that before when Larry Allen

1699
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 1: ran down the New Orleans Saints linebacker from behind. Now

1700
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 1: to me, to me, yes, DK and Buddha Baker happened

1701
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 1: a lot quicker than a linebacker and Larry Allen, but

1702
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 1: seeing three hundred and twenty five pound plus Larry Allen

1703
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:00,519
Speaker 1: run down a linebacker to keep him from scoring on

1704
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:03,439
Speaker 1: interception is one of the most physically impressive things I've

1705
01:31:03,439 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 1: ever done. And here's the little nugget that I thought

1706
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:10,240
Speaker 1: was really interesting. Al Michael's called both plays. Yeah, he's

1707
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:13,320
Speaker 1: seen that before. That's awesome. And Larry Allen could probably

1708
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 1: bench press all three of those guys. Al Michael's Buddha

1709
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 1: Baker and so there you go. Yes, you're probably right now.

1710
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 1: I did promise you a little bit of a double dip,

1711
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,320
Speaker 1: because if you're getting into lab that means it's a

1712
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 1: little bit of deep slant. That's right, Deep slant. One

1713
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 1: on one Interview of the Week brought to you by Exfinity.

1714
01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:37,759
Speaker 1: One of my favorites was Deepies sit down with Charles

1715
01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: A Men, who I know you talked a lot about

1716
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:42,559
Speaker 1: this offseason how you really wanted to work on your

1717
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,439
Speaker 1: pass rush technique and all that. Did you feel like

1718
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:47,680
Speaker 1: once you were on the field that a lot of

1719
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 1: that has come in handy so far? Yeah, it's been.

1720
01:31:50,200 --> 01:31:53,680
Speaker 1: It's been okay. Still think I still have a long

1721
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago. I gotta just hone in on whatever my

1722
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 1: game plan is going to be that week, or hone

1723
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:01,880
Speaker 1: in on the and really working practice and then just

1724
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 1: actually do it in the game. Don't overthink it. Just go.

1725
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:08,559
Speaker 1: And that's why I think I've been telling myself just

1726
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:11,559
Speaker 1: just go. Just go with whatever that plan, the plan

1727
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 1: in on that rush, just go with it and try

1728
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:17,120
Speaker 1: and execute it. And then also were games as well

1729
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:19,439
Speaker 1: to get a feel of the guy. But I mean,

1730
01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:22,000
Speaker 1: I study whoever I'm want to go against the from

1731
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 1: centers in both guards. I studied them instances a lot

1732
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:29,360
Speaker 1: just so I have an understand So I just know

1733
01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:31,120
Speaker 1: this my plan, this is what they do, and I'm

1734
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,799
Speaker 1: just go with it, you know. JJ Watt said something

1735
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:37,600
Speaker 1: that I found really interesting. He said that his conversations

1736
01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:40,640
Speaker 1: with you now, as compared to a year ago, that

1737
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:44,040
Speaker 1: you guys are having like these really like higher football

1738
01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:46,840
Speaker 1: IQ conversations. I imagine when you came in as a rookie,

1739
01:32:46,880 --> 01:32:49,240
Speaker 1: we're probably asking them a lot of questions just being

1740
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:51,439
Speaker 1: new to the NFL and being being a first year player.

1741
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:53,840
Speaker 1: But he said, no, it's it's like higher, higher IQ

1742
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 1: football questions. Would you agree with that? Is that? Does

1743
01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,599
Speaker 1: that come to mind? Like the types of conversations you're

1744
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:03,240
Speaker 1: having are a little bit more advanced. I mean, yeah,

1745
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:07,120
Speaker 1: it's just like bouncing off ideas kind of. And then

1746
01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:10,680
Speaker 1: obviously because we work together a lot on games and

1747
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 1: stuff like that, so just bouncing off ideas what he

1748
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:15,240
Speaker 1: thinks about certain guys, because I mean he's seen them

1749
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:17,200
Speaker 1: more than I have, and then just kind of me

1750
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 1: telling him what how I feel just based on what

1751
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:22,559
Speaker 1: I see stance wise, tales of what's going to happen

1752
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:24,600
Speaker 1: before the play, things like that. I think that's what

1753
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:27,000
Speaker 1: he's kind of talking about. I've gone on to the

1754
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 1: point where I can see, you know, it's when it's

1755
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:31,800
Speaker 1: gonna be running past and by stance and formation and

1756
01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:33,800
Speaker 1: things like that. So to be able to see the

1757
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:37,519
Speaker 1: game through sort of like through JJ's JJ's viewpoint, that's

1758
01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:40,200
Speaker 1: got to be so valuable, especially you know the fact

1759
01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:42,479
Speaker 1: that you're a second year player. I would imagine, yeah,

1760
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 1: just so I can play faster, you know what I'm saying,

1761
01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:47,920
Speaker 1: anything if you know it's gonna be a pass or

1762
01:33:48,120 --> 01:33:50,040
Speaker 1: versus run, if you know it's a pass, and you

1763
01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:52,400
Speaker 1: can kind of change your mode and then get into

1764
01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:56,200
Speaker 1: what pastors moves you're gonna work based on the guy

1765
01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:59,080
Speaker 1: you're going to get. You talk about wanting to play

1766
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:02,360
Speaker 1: faster and being a little bit more instinctive, But how

1767
01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:06,320
Speaker 1: much more comfortable and instinctive do you feel heading into

1768
01:34:06,320 --> 01:34:08,760
Speaker 1: the game at this point the season compared to where

1769
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:10,559
Speaker 1: you were last year as a rookie? Do you remember

1770
01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 1: where your mindset was at this time last year? Um?

1771
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean last a lot. I was playing majority on

1772
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:19,719
Speaker 1: third down and then kind of spilling on the second down.

1773
01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:22,439
Speaker 1: This year, a little bit more playing on first and

1774
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 1: second down, but just different because I'm playing inside. So

1775
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:29,639
Speaker 1: still just I wouldn't say I'm learning. I'm learning. Still,

1776
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:31,720
Speaker 1: I think I have a good grass of what I'm

1777
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:34,639
Speaker 1: gonna get. It's just okay, Now how do I play?

1778
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:36,760
Speaker 1: How do I how do I play? It better to

1779
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:41,080
Speaker 1: become an all around player and not just a guy

1780
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,559
Speaker 1: that you know can rush. Just being an all around player.

1781
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 1: And I mean that's how I feel like you get

1782
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 1: the respective teammates and respect of the league. Yeah, Jaj

1783
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:51,759
Speaker 1: said that you've improved against the past and the rush,

1784
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 1: So what about from your perspective, where do you feel

1785
01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:58,040
Speaker 1: like you've really improved. That's the thing. I gotta be

1786
01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:01,320
Speaker 1: better versus the run. Just like I said, playing inside

1787
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 1: pad level is a lot more important now because I'm

1788
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:08,480
Speaker 1: six six. And then just continue to get extension understanding

1789
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 1: how different guys get to block you, because I mean

1790
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:13,640
Speaker 1: on the outside, the blocks are very simple, so you

1791
01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 1: just know inside it could be a little bit different.

1792
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:19,040
Speaker 1: And then depending on the guy, it can be set

1793
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:21,519
Speaker 1: up differently how he's gonna how he gets to that

1794
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 1: block pass rush wise. Inside, I think it's easier for

1795
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:28,840
Speaker 1: me just I said, I gotta whatever move I have

1796
01:35:28,920 --> 01:35:30,640
Speaker 1: in mind, I gotta go with it and stick with

1797
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 1: it and run through it with it, and it just

1798
01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:34,719
Speaker 1: on the fly. You have to get to the quarterback

1799
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:37,800
Speaker 1: by any means necessary. And it's been such different quarterbacks.

1800
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:40,120
Speaker 1: Obviously the first two weeks you face two very young,

1801
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:44,920
Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks and now obviously more veteran pocket passer. Does

1802
01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:47,799
Speaker 1: it change your approach to the game at all, depending

1803
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 1: on what sort of quarterback is back there for you,

1804
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you just know you have a little bit

1805
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:56,360
Speaker 1: more freedom, but no, you still gotta still the Russians

1806
01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:58,920
Speaker 1: still got you still gotta win. And then I mean

1807
01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:02,519
Speaker 1: different from him, he's like six four two forty, So

1808
01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:04,640
Speaker 1: you definitely when you when you do when you have

1809
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:07,479
Speaker 1: to finish, you gotta break out the ball. You gotta

1810
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:10,320
Speaker 1: rereak at his arms, get him down. You can't go

1811
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:11,960
Speaker 1: on for the kill side. You just gotta get him

1812
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:14,679
Speaker 1: down because I mean he's throughout his time and playing.

1813
01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:17,760
Speaker 1: You've seen them. Guys are hanging on him and he's

1814
01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:20,600
Speaker 1: still throwing the ball. He shrugs guys off, So you

1815
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:23,360

1967
01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 1: young man and we'll see what he's got and what

1968
01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:06,439
Speaker 1: he can add to this team. It would be really,

1969
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:10,800
Speaker 1: really fun to see what a new young piece on

1970
01:45:10,880 --> 01:45:14,040
Speaker 1: offense might look like. So we've had a bye week

1971
01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 1: Wednesday show. We've had a little bit of everything. We

1972
01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:18,439
Speaker 1: heard from TJ. Yates a little bit earlier this hour,

1973
01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:20,360
Speaker 1: we heard from Charles A. Manner who with Deep City

1974
01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 1: Drew and I did it in the lab. You missed

1975
01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:24,960
Speaker 1: the President of Texas, Jamie Roots, talking about his new

1976
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:28,040
Speaker 1: book which is coming out. I'm trying to think that

1977
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:29,960
Speaker 1: the release data, I think gets the end of this

1978
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 1: week that it's coming out, and we also had Danton Lynn,

1979
01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:37,200
Speaker 1: secondary coach who is the son of Anthony Lynn, the

1980
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:41,080
Speaker 1: head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. I caught myself

1981
01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:43,439
Speaker 1: in my mind, I saw San Diego, but it's the

1982
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:47,479
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers. And you know, it's interesting about Dan.

1983
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:49,639
Speaker 1: I asked us right off the bat, because I got

1984
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:54,120
Speaker 1: the interviews in reverse order. Danton was the last one

1985
01:45:54,160 --> 01:45:56,559
Speaker 1: I interviewed. TJ was second to last. Now when I

1986
01:45:56,600 --> 01:45:59,120
Speaker 1: talked to Danton, because I had already talked to our

1987
01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:03,160
Speaker 1: next guest, Dan. And I knows the son of a coach.

1988
01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 1: I know that Will Long is the son of a coach.

1989
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:09,599
Speaker 1: I am the son of a coach. It's a different

1990
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:14,679
Speaker 1: world growing up, no matter what level your coach or

1991
01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:18,600
Speaker 1: your father works. And Dan talked about it when he

1992
01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:21,960
Speaker 1: was with you know, his dad. He was at training

1993
01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 1: camp all the time. I remember being at every single

1994
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:29,920
Speaker 1: one of my dad's practices growing up. I mean every

1995
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 1: single one. I'd be on the side that I didn't matter.

1996
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:35,880
Speaker 1: It'd be freezing cold, and my mom would buddle me

1997
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:37,680
Speaker 1: up and throw me out there. I mean it was

1998
01:46:37,720 --> 01:46:41,280
Speaker 1: the best daycare you could imagine because he didn't have

1999
01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:43,200
Speaker 1: to worry about me. I had a football's run up

2000
01:46:43,240 --> 01:46:46,120
Speaker 1: down the sidelines, just a little kid. Just I loved it.

2001
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:49,639
Speaker 1: I loved it, and I felt like, don't everybody else's

2002
01:46:49,680 --> 01:46:51,760
Speaker 1: kids do this? Because when I got older and I

2003
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:54,680
Speaker 1: moved to Houston, my friends hear me talk about the

2004
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:58,640
Speaker 1: zero lines. Their dad was offensive line coach and at

2005
01:46:58,680 --> 01:47:01,519
Speaker 1: the time he's the Titans coach verse Houston. My other

2006
01:47:01,560 --> 01:47:04,599
Speaker 1: friend Mac Jones, his dad, Tommy Jones, at one point

2007
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:06,479
Speaker 1: was an assistant you of age. He was also a

2008
01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:10,519
Speaker 1: head coach HBU for a while, so we all kind

2009
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 1: of knew the coaching thing, you know, That's what we

2010
01:47:12,439 --> 01:47:14,760
Speaker 1: knew growing up. It is like didn't everybody? And then

2011
01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:16,080
Speaker 1: you realize you get out in the real world. I

2012
01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:17,680
Speaker 1: remember going to Brown I was like, yeah, my dad

2013
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:19,160
Speaker 1: was a coach and they're like, oh, what's that? Like,

2014
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, what do you mean? You don't understand

2015
01:47:21,240 --> 01:47:24,800
Speaker 1: all this? And so it was a different world growing up,

2016
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. And will Long tight End's coach,

2017
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:32,360
Speaker 1: grew up as the son of a coach. And one

2018
01:47:32,360 --> 01:47:35,759
Speaker 1: of the things that I always I always wonder because

2019
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 1: this happens with me and my dad. My dad and

2020
01:47:37,880 --> 01:47:39,759
Speaker 1: I can be in the same room with one another,

2021
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:43,160
Speaker 1: and there can be a movie on or TV show

2022
01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:47,320
Speaker 1: and it will be complete and total silence. Commercial comes on,

2023
01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:50,800
Speaker 1: flips it, there's a game that comes on and all

2024
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:53,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's what front are the end? While

2025
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 1: they're on this front? Well, what do you think about that? Why?

2026
01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:57,720
Speaker 1: I think I would do this? Why do you do that? Well?

2027
01:47:57,760 --> 01:47:59,439
Speaker 1: Why is that guy in a three on this? Well,

2028
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:01,240
Speaker 1: I mean I think you would probably put him in

2029
01:48:01,240 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 1: a in a two eye because they're gonna try and

2030
01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:05,000
Speaker 1: do this. Well, why don't you two gap that guy

2031
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:08,200
Speaker 1: and we just start talking football. We flip it back

2032
01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 1: over to the other show, and it's just silence. So

2033
01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:16,639
Speaker 1: I've always wondered if that's the case for other coaches sons.

2034
01:48:16,840 --> 01:48:19,439
Speaker 1: Dan pretty much confirmed it for him. I asked out

2035
01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:21,439
Speaker 1: at Will Long as well, here's my exclusive one on

2036
01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:24,000
Speaker 1: one with tight End's coach Will Long. Please be joined

2037
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:26,920
Speaker 1: by tight End coach Will Long. Will First of all,

2038
01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:29,519
Speaker 1: bye week coming up, and everybody here's bye week and

2039
01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:32,120
Speaker 1: they think you get a full week off, But what's

2040
01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:34,360
Speaker 1: it like for you during the bye week? I would

2041
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:36,920
Speaker 1: imagine you got plans of a lot of different things

2042
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:38,559
Speaker 1: going on. What's kind of the plan for you during

2043
01:48:38,600 --> 01:48:41,639
Speaker 1: the bye week. The first thing we do is staff

2044
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:44,920
Speaker 1: we go through a self scout process and see what

2045
01:48:44,920 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 1: we've we've been doing throughout the first seven games this year,

2046
01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:51,000
Speaker 1: good and bad things we can correct. That's pretty much

2047
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:53,280
Speaker 1: what it is. For at least two days, two to

2048
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:58,080
Speaker 1: three days after that, go back, hang out, just relax,

2049
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:01,200
Speaker 1: reach o a battery a little bit for the last

2050
01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:04,200
Speaker 1: nine games this season. So that's standard approach every year.

2051
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:08,200
Speaker 1: That sounds easy to do, coach God recharge, but how

2052
01:49:08,240 --> 01:49:10,599
Speaker 1: important is it for you the rest of the coaches

2053
01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:14,680
Speaker 1: players to really step back, decompress for just a little bit,

2054
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:17,519
Speaker 1: recharge for the last nine weeks. You got to just

2055
01:49:18,800 --> 01:49:20,880
Speaker 1: when you go through the season, it's just go, go go.

2056
01:49:21,120 --> 01:49:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you're working on another opponent the friday before

2057
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:28,360
Speaker 1: you play the opponent you're gonna play, so you're constantly

2058
01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:31,200
Speaker 1: thinking ahead and your mind's running. So when you can

2059
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:33,519
Speaker 1: just step back for take two or three days off

2060
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:38,960
Speaker 1: and just reflect on everything, it really helps. Well this year,

2061
01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:41,479
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakin's the first few games of the year, well

2062
01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:44,080
Speaker 1: he looks really good, really explosive, and then obviously the

2063
01:49:44,120 --> 01:49:46,559
Speaker 1: injury set him back. But what have you seen in

2064
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:49,519
Speaker 1: Jordan that really has helped him to make that next

2065
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:53,320
Speaker 1: kind of next step leap this year before he got injured.

2066
01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:56,559
Speaker 1: I would say definitely the knowledge of the game, not

2067
01:49:56,640 --> 01:49:59,719
Speaker 1: only our playbook, but just thing looks he's seeing on defense,

2068
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:05,960
Speaker 1: reacting to those accordingly, and within the passing game with

2069
01:50:06,040 --> 01:50:10,080
Speaker 1: his routes, just understand having moral route craft, no knowing

2070
01:50:10,160 --> 01:50:12,879
Speaker 1: how defenders are trying to play him, attack and leverage

2071
01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:15,960
Speaker 1: things like that. He's stepped his game up a lot

2072
01:50:16,040 --> 01:50:18,840
Speaker 1: in that aspect. How difficult is that? Will when you

2073
01:50:18,920 --> 01:50:21,519
Speaker 1: have the playbook? Can you show him the playbook and

2074
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:23,559
Speaker 1: it looks like a straight line and then a ninety

2075
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:25,760
Speaker 1: degree or a straight line and a you know, an

2076
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:29,480
Speaker 1: angled right, but it really isn't always like that. How

2077
01:50:29,479 --> 01:50:33,240
Speaker 1: difficult is that for young players to to understand? Look,

2078
01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:36,320
Speaker 1: what you see there, that's that's the guide, But what

2079
01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:38,800
Speaker 1: you see on the field maybe a little different. This

2080
01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:40,360
Speaker 1: is how you got to react. How difficult is to

2081
01:50:40,439 --> 01:50:42,560
Speaker 1: kind of teach that that, hey, this is the playbook,

2082
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:44,560
Speaker 1: is what you're supposed to be doing, but look, you

2083
01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:46,360
Speaker 1: might have to just make a little tweak to get

2084
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:48,840
Speaker 1: yourself open against a certain type of coverage. How tough

2085
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:51,280
Speaker 1: is it to teach that part to young players? The

2086
01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:54,559
Speaker 1: best thing for me is I prefer to, you know,

2087
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:57,320
Speaker 1: at least give him a base knowledge of defense before

2088
01:50:57,320 --> 01:51:01,160
Speaker 1: I even go into our plays. And then whenever we've

2089
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:04,200
Speaker 1: put plays in, I'll look at a diagram, but quickly

2090
01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 1: thereafter I give him video examples of other guys doing it,

2091
01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:11,120
Speaker 1: whether you guys Playton Houston or around the league tight

2092
01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:13,559
Speaker 1: ends in particular, and just showing him like, you know,

2093
01:51:13,640 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 1: you get discoverage, this is how you want to run

2094
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:17,559
Speaker 1: this route, you get discoverage, run it this way. Such

2095
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:21,160
Speaker 1: like things like that coach Darren Fells is in your

2096
01:51:21,160 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 1: meeting room. It feels like he's about fifty years old,

2097
01:51:24,479 --> 01:51:26,080
Speaker 1: but we always talk about him as being kind of

2098
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 1: the sage wise player of the group. How important is

2099
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:32,040
Speaker 1: it to have a player of that magnitude in there

2100
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:34,439
Speaker 1: that's kind of seen it and done it all. Look,

2101
01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:36,320
Speaker 1: Jordan's done it too, He's been in baseball before he

2102
01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:39,200
Speaker 1: got into football. But I got, like Darren Fells seemingly has,

2103
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, what's it like having a guy like that

2104
01:51:40,720 --> 01:51:42,960
Speaker 1: in the meeting room to not only help the other players,

2105
01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:45,519
Speaker 1: but help you and learn from him as well. Right,

2106
01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:50,040
Speaker 1: he's a great leader, he's a very selfless player. He's

2107
01:51:50,479 --> 01:51:54,559
Speaker 1: a great teammate and always thinks about the team first.

2108
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:58,800
Speaker 1: With him, he's easy to talk to. We sit back

2109
01:51:58,800 --> 01:52:01,560
Speaker 1: and it's it's not necessarily dictate, Darren. We got to

2110
01:52:01,600 --> 01:52:04,599
Speaker 1: do it exactly this way. It's with him, you'll sit back, Hey,

2111
01:52:04,760 --> 01:52:06,280
Speaker 1: well what do you think about this? What do you

2112
01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:09,040
Speaker 1: think about this? We have those discussions, which is great

2113
01:52:09,040 --> 01:52:12,080
Speaker 1: for me, it's great for the room. Those guys look

2114
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:14,400
Speaker 1: up to him and he's been a huge asset here

2115
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:17,639
Speaker 1: and US coach since you started on the offensive side

2116
01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:19,280
Speaker 1: of the bus that you got over the offensive side

2117
01:52:19,280 --> 01:52:22,280
Speaker 1: of the ball with the Shawn Watson. There are some

2118
01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:25,280
Speaker 1: different things that you have incorporated that do incorporate the

2119
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:26,920
Speaker 1: tight ends. They're asked to do a little bit more

2120
01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:29,880
Speaker 1: with some of the RPO package. How different are things

2121
01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:33,959
Speaker 1: from when you first got in the NFL to now

2122
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:36,360
Speaker 1: as it pertains to that the use of the titles,

2123
01:52:36,439 --> 01:52:38,800
Speaker 1: especially with what you guys do with the Seawan and

2124
01:52:38,840 --> 01:52:42,160
Speaker 1: some of the RPO package stuff that you guys have. Yeah,

2125
01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:43,880
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that, Like I said, you

2126
01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:46,080
Speaker 1: said across the whole NFL teams are doing a little

2127
01:52:46,080 --> 01:52:48,240
Speaker 1: more of this and some of the spread game that's

2128
01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:51,400
Speaker 1: in college it shows up in the NFL more. We

2129
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:53,400
Speaker 1: asked them to do. Some of these things that we're

2130
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:55,559
Speaker 1: asking them to do, they haven't done in the NFL before,

2131
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:57,679
Speaker 1: Like this is some stuff that hasn't been new to Darren,

2132
01:52:59,120 --> 01:53:02,880
Speaker 1: but they adapted. It's it's it's an easy, easy teach

2133
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:05,280
Speaker 1: and they pick it up quickly. Coach, you came from

2134
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:08,800
Speaker 1: a coaching family. Did you think you were going to

2135
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:12,000
Speaker 1: grow up and be a coach when you grew up?

2136
01:53:12,080 --> 01:53:14,040
Speaker 1: Was that something that you felt like, Yeah, I'm going

2137
01:53:14,120 --> 01:53:16,240
Speaker 1: right into this or did you feel like, you know,

2138
01:53:16,280 --> 01:53:18,799
Speaker 1: as time went on you just kind of gravitated towards

2139
01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:21,240
Speaker 1: it because you've been around it your whole life. No,

2140
01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:24,519
Speaker 1: that's something I've always wanted to do. Um grow up

2141
01:53:24,520 --> 01:53:26,720
Speaker 1: in a football family, and that's it's it's all ball,

2142
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:30,439
Speaker 1: all the time. And ever since I've been young, I've

2143
01:53:30,479 --> 01:53:33,599
Speaker 1: seen the difference my dad's made, he made in young

2144
01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:35,559
Speaker 1: men's laves, and that's something I've always wanted to do.

2145
01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:38,360
Speaker 1: So that's been a passion of mine and I'm fortunate

2146
01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:40,439
Speaker 1: to be the position of me and I say this

2147
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:43,200
Speaker 1: because I know when my dad and I get together,

2148
01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:46,040
Speaker 1: my dad and I don't talk politics. We don't even

2149
01:53:46,040 --> 01:53:48,519
Speaker 1: talk about family members. We didn't even talk about anything.

2150
01:53:48,840 --> 01:53:50,920
Speaker 1: The first thing my dad wants to know is, hey,

2151
01:53:50,920 --> 01:53:52,639
Speaker 1: what are you guys doing if they're in an underfront,

2152
01:53:52,680 --> 01:53:54,679
Speaker 1: how are you guys doing this? When you guys get together?

2153
01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:58,080
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Or you know what it is?

2154
01:53:58,439 --> 01:54:00,679
Speaker 1: That's the first thing whenever we talk on the phone,

2155
01:54:02,040 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 1: it's it's straight to ball. How you guys doing um?

2156
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:08,080
Speaker 1: And things aren't going good? He's you know, he's the

2157
01:54:08,080 --> 01:54:10,000
Speaker 1: guy who's thinking, I've been through it like this is

2158
01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:12,920
Speaker 1: to say you got to handle it? And uh, yeah,

2159
01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:15,559
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it is. Straight to ball. I think

2160
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:17,760
Speaker 1: if my dad asked me how things going, I'd go good.

2161
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:20,040
Speaker 1: He I'd say the same thing for him, he'd go good,

2162
01:54:20,600 --> 01:54:22,439
Speaker 1: and the conversation would in there until one of us

2163
01:54:22,439 --> 01:54:24,320
Speaker 1: says something about football, and then it's probably about an

2164
01:54:24,400 --> 01:54:28,960
Speaker 1: hour long conversation. Exactly. That's exactly what it is. Coach,

2165
01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:30,840
Speaker 1: nine nine games left after the buy and I know

2166
01:54:30,920 --> 01:54:32,200
Speaker 1: you want to get through the buy and you talked

2167
01:54:32,200 --> 01:54:35,920
Speaker 1: about the self scout process, um, but nine games left

2168
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:39,120
Speaker 1: just from your perspective. What is it that you want

2169
01:54:39,120 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 1: to see? The biggest message you want to get through

2170
01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:45,480
Speaker 1: to your guys as you return, as they return to

2171
01:54:45,520 --> 01:54:48,360
Speaker 1: finish this night, this twenty twenty season. What nine games left?

2172
01:54:48,760 --> 01:54:51,240
Speaker 1: I want to see him improved every day and then

2173
01:54:51,320 --> 01:54:54,960
Speaker 1: every game and then finished and put a stamp on something,

2174
01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, like, uh, I don't want I don't want

2175
01:54:57,840 --> 01:54:59,560
Speaker 1: them to go through this season like it's a washing

2176
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 1: all week. Still have a lot to play for and

2177
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:04,680
Speaker 1: they have a lot to play for. So I want

2178
01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:06,280
Speaker 1: to see improvement every day, and I want to see

2179
01:55:06,280 --> 01:55:08,600
Speaker 1: that mentality that they bring every day that they want

2180
01:55:08,600 --> 01:55:11,240
Speaker 1: to improve. Coach, you're the best man. Thank you very

2181
01:55:11,280 --> 01:55:15,600
Speaker 1: much for your time. First of all, will confirmed pretty

2182
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:18,760
Speaker 1: much what I already knew, and that is ball coaches,

2183
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:22,640
Speaker 1: fathers and sons get together. They talk football and that's

2184
01:55:22,720 --> 01:55:26,120
Speaker 1: pretty much what they talk. Anything else you want to know.

2185
01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:28,720
Speaker 1: I've gotten off the phone with my dad before and

2186
01:55:28,760 --> 01:55:30,960
Speaker 1: my wife is like, well what he's saying? I was like,

2187
01:55:31,800 --> 01:55:35,200
Speaker 1: I didn't really want. Well, he didn't tell you about this? Like, no, well,

2188
01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:39,920
Speaker 1: what y'all talk about? Like three techniques? Safeties? You know

2189
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:42,680
Speaker 1: that's what we talk about. Man, But Will. Is that

2190
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:45,320
Speaker 1: an interesting run here with the Texans. Where he started

2191
01:55:45,440 --> 01:55:47,800
Speaker 1: as a defensive assistant. I mean he was in a

2192
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:53,400
Speaker 1: hip pocket Mike Vrabel every day, and then when some

2193
01:55:53,480 --> 01:55:55,480
Speaker 1: things got reconfigured on the staff, he moved over the

2194
01:55:55,560 --> 01:55:58,400
Speaker 1: offensive side and he was working with the offensive line.

2195
01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:00,000
Speaker 1: The next year he moved up to the tight end.

2196
01:56:00,160 --> 01:56:02,120
Speaker 1: He's been coaching the tight ends ever since. And those

2197
01:56:02,160 --> 01:56:05,160
Speaker 1: guys I think have done a pretty solid job since

2198
01:56:05,200 --> 01:56:06,960
Speaker 1: Will's been here. I mean, think of what Darren Fells

2199
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:10,400
Speaker 1: into Jordan n Aikins did last year, what Aikins was

2200
01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:13,400
Speaker 1: doing before his injury, what Fells continues to do. I've

2201
01:56:13,400 --> 01:56:15,280
Speaker 1: done some really good stuff with those tight ends. And

2202
01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:17,240
Speaker 1: Will has been a big, big part of that. So

2203
01:56:17,520 --> 01:56:19,640
Speaker 1: glad he's here and getting the work done that he

2204
01:56:19,800 --> 01:56:22,920
Speaker 1: has gotten done. It's been a big show of big

2205
01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:25,280
Speaker 1: thanks to a lot of people. President of you, R

2212
01:56:47,200 --> 01:56:50,960
Speaker 1: bumpy last nine weeks of the year, but we'll get

2213
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:52,760
Speaker 1: through it, and we're gonna get to a point where

2214
01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:55,800
Speaker 1: this team will eventually win championships and we can look

2215
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:59,360

2216
