1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome to the program that gets you 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: in the building n RG Stadium, where the Texans conducted 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: their draft this past weekend and wherever we happen to me. 4 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: It's the Hunt Day Mobile Texans Radio Studio. Mark Vandermaer 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: and John Harris with you after being on the air 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: for one hundred and seven hours over the weekend or 7 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: whatever it was as we were doing the show last night. 8 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: But we still have more to talk about in regards 9 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: to the draft and also the future, the immediate future, 10 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: maybe the future as far as training camp goes. We 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: still have sort of an up in the air situation 12 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: with these offseason workouts. I think that picture is going 13 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: to clear up. It has to in the next few 14 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: weeks here anyway, Johnny, good evening, and welcome to the show. 15 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: Have you recovered yet from the draft? How are you doing, 16 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: my friend? I mean, you did a lot of work 17 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: on that draft, and then you shot the special afterwards 18 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: for television. You did a ton of stuff. I feel okay, 19 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: I feel all right. I can't trust me. I'll never 20 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: complain about it, for sure, but it'll catch up to 21 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: me at some point. I mean I immediately just got 22 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: up Monday and just try to go right straight through 23 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: my routine. And then instead of my twenty twenty one 24 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: draft class, I went straight to twenty twenty two and 25 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: started working on that and started looking ahead. So yeah, 26 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I've already been doing that probably 27 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: for the last month, certain days at a time, just 28 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: starting to get starting to get a knowledge of it. 29 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be as a tricky it's gonna be 30 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: better because they're gonna be so many more players than 31 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: there were this year. But trying to figure out who's 32 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: a junior, who's a senior, who's a super senior. Why 33 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: is this guy got eight years in college? Oh, that's right, 34 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: because he was a sixth year senior. He got next year, 35 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: but then he's going back for another year. But then 36 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: it's crazy, and then you got transfers that are eligible immediately, 37 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: so it's it's blown my mind. I mean, you got 38 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: a receiver from Marketsaw, Mike Woods, who was one of 39 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: the best in the SEC, just up and transferred to 40 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: the Day Oklahoma because he could, And I'm like, wait, 41 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: I got so trying to track all that can be 42 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: a little difficult at times, but we'll get down and 43 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: we'll be ready for twenty twenty two draft a year 44 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: from now, well last year, right after the draft, just 45 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: for this quick point to be made. Here, where was 46 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson on the chart? Trey Lance, you know where 47 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: some of these guys were. Obviously Davis Mills, you know, 48 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: hadn't played the six games he would play this pass 49 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: fall down. We know Mills was highly regarded coming out 50 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: of high school, so it wasn't a surprise that he 51 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: was gonna be on somebody's radar at some point. But 52 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: my point is a lot changes when you start to 53 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: play the season in twenty twenty one, right, no doubt. 54 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: I know going into last year, you know the five 55 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that were taking well just all really you know, 56 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: Lawrence and Fields I felt pretty good about, and even 57 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: Trey Lance I felt very good about. I wrote something 58 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: back in the spring on Trey Lance of twenty twenty, 59 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: you know, during the pandemic, like this guy, this guy's 60 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: gonna be a first round pick. Like this guy's a 61 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: really good quarterback. So those three I felt really good about. 62 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. I remember Drake telling us about just hey, 63 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: keep your eyes on this guy. And then you're watching 64 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: the first couple of games, like, Okay, this thing started 65 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: to come to fruition. Okay, he needs to be up there. 66 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: You know, Mac Jones was the one, and I don't 67 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: want to say that I didn't like Mac, but he 68 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: was the one that I was not as high on 69 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: as the others. But his twenty twenty season just really 70 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: took off. Everything went right. He had the right crew 71 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: around him. He had a pies of trophy receiver at 72 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: jailing and waddle for about four or five games and 73 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: then it just clicked. He's behind a great offensive line, 74 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: he had a great running back. He had a lot 75 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: of help around him. But that doesn't mean that he 76 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: shouldn't have been in the consideration for being a top pick. 77 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: And Davis Mills was a guy that I'll be honest, 78 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: I really kind of got to know through watching a 79 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: bunch of Elite eleven films on YouTube, you know, during 80 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: the pandemic gamy to find everything I possibly can, and 81 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: so I'm in a wormhole one day on YouTube, but 82 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm watching all these Elite eleven shows and it's like 83 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: Davis Mills was at the top of their list the 84 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: whole time, and so that put him on my radar screen, 85 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I know, I'll need to watch this guy. 86 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: And we were on the road, Mark, we were on 87 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: the road. I'm trying to remember, Oh we were I 88 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: think we're we in Indie. It was in your Chicago. 89 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: We it was back to back trips in December and 90 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: Stanford was playing UCLA. Stanford was playing UCLA late one 91 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: night and Mills went nuts, He's thrown to see me fijoko. 92 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he's destroyed now. US defense was not the 93 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: eighty five Bears. But I'm watching Mills just carve them up, 94 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: and I'm like, yo, he's well, this is the guy 95 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: Elite eleven talked about, Like that's the guy right there. 96 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: And so that's why he really kind of popped on 97 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: my radar screen right there. But I was pretty sure 98 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: he was gonna go back, Like, Okay, he got he's 99 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: got a really good finish to twenty twenty was a 100 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: short season, come back in twenty twenty one, and be 101 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: a rock star for twenty twenty two. And then when 102 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: he declared, I don't say caught me off guard, but 103 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: I just was of a mindset he's gonna go back. 104 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: So he was kind of you know, I don't say 105 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: back in, but I didn't really get into studying him 106 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: until probably probably late March early April, and I got 107 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: a couple of games from Tom and our film The Department, 108 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: and watched him like, man, this guy's really got something. 109 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: I just again didn't think we were gonna do it. 110 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: But the more I've thought about it, the more I 111 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: feel like it made a lot of stents at sixty seven, 112 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,679 Speaker 1: given everything that had happened prior to I e. Seven 113 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks being drafted before, and what I felt like projecting 114 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: Davis Mills in twenty twenty one in college when he 115 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: would have been in twenty twenty two, and that is 116 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: I believe he would have been a first round pick. 117 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: I knew he would have been had he had a 118 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: good season and stayed healthy. I know he would have 119 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: been a first round pick. I know it. So getting 120 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: him in a third round, of feel is a definite 121 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: by low and hopefully we sell high down the road. Well, 122 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,119 Speaker 1: you know, we brought this up during the draft show, 123 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: and you know when you draft a player in this spot, Look, 124 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: it's a third round selection. Yes it is a quarterback. 125 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: They have different a different value system when you evaluate 126 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: them and when you project what they might be to 127 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: your franchise or somebody else's if you end up trading 128 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: them at some point, just like when Charlie casually traded 129 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: for Drew Henson and was able to flip that for 130 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: a higher pick the following year, because look, it was 131 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: a chance for him to take a signal caller that 132 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: might turn into something. Now Henson in the baseball I 133 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: think it's not apples to apples, I know, but it 134 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: is a quarterback and they do have exceptional value in 135 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: this league for a very good reason. It's the most 136 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: important position on the team. Johnny want to go to 137 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: the back end of the draft to Roy Lopez because 138 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: stopping the rum was difficult for the Texans last year. 139 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: They have to get better at that now. It's not 140 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: like they were sitting there in the sixth round like 141 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: all of our problems are solved now because we've drafted 142 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: Roy Lopez. They didn't say that, Okay, but you have 143 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: to keep adding to the mix, and clearly they did 144 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: it a ton in free agency, but this is an 145 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: intriguing player who could turn into something right there. And 146 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: then I want to get to some of the reports 147 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: of the undrafted free agents but your thoughts on Lopez 148 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: and now that you had a couple of days to 149 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: sort of reevaluate things, Well, I was so excited that 150 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: you had hit on a late round Vander Mooch, I 151 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: mean rushed it, and I was like, that's that's awesome. 152 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: So I went back and I watched the USC game 153 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: and there's a point and that was actually that was 154 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: one of the closer games Arizona played and USC. It's 155 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: a back and forth, but USC's got the ball. It's 156 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: a second quarter, I think it is, and they're down 157 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: inside the ten yard line and USC's trying to run 158 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: a power play to the left out of effirmation, and 159 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: so I'm trying to and you know this, being a broadcaster, 160 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: I cannot stand when the colors are so close that 161 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: you can't pick out. You can't there's not a white 162 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: highlight around him. You can't figure it out. So it's 163 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 1: a it's an red jersey with blue numbers or blue 164 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: with red I can't remember exactly, but it's it's not 165 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: easily discernible, like what number everybody is. Then the ball 166 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: is snapped and I watched one of the offensive linemen 167 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: get bent over and I mean literally bent in half, 168 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I found Roy, I mean, took an 169 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. I tried. I couldn't figure out how to 170 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: do it. I'm sure there are some some tech savvy 171 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: YouTubers out there that could have been like clippit clippit boom, 172 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: send it to you guys. I couldn't. I couldn't figure 173 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: it out, but I was gonna send it to y'all 174 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: and said, look at this, this is what we were missing. 175 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: Now that's against college kids, I say in air quotes, 176 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: because you know, really they're not kids. Eryls won't to vote, 177 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: they're not kids. But I'm telling you, Mark, he took 178 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: this offensive lineman and just bench pressed him in half. 179 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: And I'm like, wow, I've realized I have a type 180 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to defensive lineman. You do, I do. 181 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: I like shorter, stout wrestlers that are strong as oxes 182 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: oxen because I've gone through and I've thought about guys 183 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: that have really liked on the defensive line. Grady Jarrett 184 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: from Clemson, I love Darren Donald. Those guys all had 185 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: something common. They're all six one or less and Roy 186 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: I think might be a shade over six one, but 187 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: they are automatic leverage winners just based on how short 188 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: they are. And I mean they're called they're they're taller 189 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: than the general public. But in the world of football 190 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: they're short. I mean think officers lineman. I think all 191 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: of our offensive lineman like six five sixty six. He's 192 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: six one, so he's naturally leveraged against an offensive line. 193 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: Then he bench pressed two twenty five thirty six times. 194 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: Then he's a wrestler, so he understands foot hit player, 195 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: what to do with hands, where to place hands. He 196 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: grew up a coach's son, and his dad said, he's 197 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: as smart as a football I q as anybody you're 198 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: gonna find. So you throw all that together and you're like, 199 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: in a sixth round, Yeah, give me some please. And 200 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: I just love the fact that he's coming to Houston 201 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: because I get I think he's given him something up 202 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: front they may not have. And it's not really size 203 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: as much as it is strength, leverage, and that wrestling 204 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: ability I think is massive massive. UCLA's Ohsa di Yzoo 205 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: got drafted by the Cowboys. Every time I watched him, 206 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, he wins leverage no matter what. And 207 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: then you go find out, yeah, he's a three time 208 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: heavyweight champion in high school. Well that's what Roy was. 209 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: He's a two time heavyweight in Arizona and that comes 210 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: through on the field. But you match it up with 211 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: thirty six rep bench press strength. Oh man, you gotta dude, 212 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: what about the undrafted free age it, Johnny, we did 213 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: not see too many. Now they're pushing toward the top 214 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: of the roster number here, and it's just the kindy 215 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: year where with all the free agents they've signed. I 216 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: guess there was not going to be much room, much 217 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: vacancy in the hotel, as my buddy Jim Mandage used 218 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: to say, for undrafted free agents to come in. But 219 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: you were telling me during our draft show, Hey, the 220 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: Yaggies might have had the best offensive line in college football. 221 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: They didn't win the award for it, but they were 222 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: right there. And Alabama has that brand name recognition which 223 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: helps in awards. It's kind of like the Oscar voting, right, 224 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: But you got two of those Aggies. Reportedly, they haven't 225 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: announced any of this stuff, but you read the reports 226 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: about it. So your thoughts on what they were able 227 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: to get in that second wave. They got two of 228 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: the five Maroon goons as they call them. And if 229 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: you think about Damn Moore left tackle in the fourth round, 230 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: the left guard Kenyan Greene's probably gonna be a first 231 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: rounder next year. You signed Ryan McCallum, so the undrafted 232 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: free agent right guard, Jared Hawker. I thought it was fantastic. 233 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure where he went. I thought or 234 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: been drafted. And then right tackle was Carson green who 235 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: did text and signed. And you know, Carson was at 236 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl and the first day, I'm like, man, 237 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: he really struggled. But what I loved about the way 238 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: he battled back were days two and three, the same 239 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: guys he struggled with day won. Now he's making adjustments 240 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: and now he's starting to handle these guys a little 241 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: bit better. He's starting to have a little bit more 242 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: pop in the run game, and I love I'd love 243 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: seeing that. And look, developmental lineman, especially those that have 244 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: been experienced in the SEC take a shot. No doubt, 245 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: Now Carson might alter, he might go to guard two. 246 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised by that. Ryan McCollum was the center. 247 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: He was he was the he was the engine for 248 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: that offensive line. He was the brains of that unit. 249 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: He made sure everybody was where they needed to be, 250 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: and I felt like that offensive line went to a 251 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: completely different level in twenty and twenty twenty. They were 252 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 1: phenomenal weekend and week out. And yes, Kenyan Green is 253 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: the star of that group, but the four other guys 254 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: just really, you know, they were all the glue. I 255 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: think McCollum was the one that was the glue that 256 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: kept everything together. So I think they've got two developmental pieces. 257 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: You bring him here, you let him see what you got, 258 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: and you roll on. And you bring in Carson Green, 259 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: and you let him sit next to Laramie Tonsil and 260 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: Titus Howard and learn. And let him sit next to 261 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: Rod Johnson and let rodders share his story and you learn. 262 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: And Ryan McCollum sits next to Justin Bridd every day 263 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: and and learns the tips and tricks and things that 264 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: Justin Bridd has. So I love I loved signing those 265 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: two aggies. I thought the two receivers are very very 266 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: interesting that according to sources, we are not going to 267 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: get these official. But Damon Hazelton was a transfer from 268 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. So when he went to Missouri, you know 269 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: that's the thing sometimes transfers kind of grabbed like, wait 270 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: a second, that doesn't seem right, Like, wait, that's not 271 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: the where do you go? Oh? He's a Virginia tech 272 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: and he transferred in Missouri, and I thought he had 273 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: a decent year. I don't think it a great year. 274 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: But he's big, he's six, he's a shade under sixty three, 275 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: about two or five to ten somewhere in there, and 276 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 1: very similar Nico and that he's probably an outside the 277 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: numbers guy right now. And he just work on those 278 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: things to get him better to be a complete receiver. 279 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: And then Marlin Williams for UCF might have been. In 280 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: fact he was. He was UCFS I think best receiver. 281 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: I don't think it was US athlete, did not run 282 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: extremely what was pro day? It was like in the 283 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: four six range, but great after the catch, you get 284 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: him something, he gets it after the kid. He is tough, 285 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: tough to bring down. So you bring him here. You 286 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: add those two guys to the mix, and you never 287 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: know what's gonna end up happening. One of the drafted 288 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: free agents. They made a lot of additions at receiver, 289 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: and they already had a number of wide receivers in 290 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: the building already, and they drafted a guy in the 291 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: third round, their second pick overall in the mix. So 292 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: receiver is going to be a competitive competitive spot. But 293 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: you and I both know twenty seventeen is the first 294 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: year that comes to mind. We're at the Greenbrier. Every 295 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: single receiver was off schedule because of injuries. They were 296 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: bringing in guys left and right. Last year, the top 297 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: four never practiced together, and they were on the field 298 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: together until they played the first game in Kansas City. 299 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: So there's competition, But now there's depth, and I think 300 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: it's quality depth to even what the rookies and at Nico, 301 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: Damon Hazelton and Marla Williams, if that is what's if 302 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: that is a becomes official at some point that those 303 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: are the three rookies they're added to the mix. I 304 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: think they did a pretty solid job with all the receivers. 305 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: I've mentioned many times, Mark, you know this. I said 306 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: the receiver group was exceptional this year. And to come 307 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: away without a first or second round pick and walk 308 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: away with Collins and Hazelton and Marlon Williams, that's a 309 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: pretty nice haul amongst the receiver group in this twenty 310 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: twenty one draft class well. And also as far as 311 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: pass catching goes Brevin Jordan, and we can get to 312 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: him later. Now you brought up the offensive line. Why 313 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: I brought up the offensive line, but you brought up 314 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: Rod Johnson, And it's a good example of somebody kind 315 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: of hangs in there. He could start for some teams 316 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: in this league, no doubt about that. He did a 317 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: good job and a spot start duty last year for 318 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans where they were starting to have some 319 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: really good production on the offensive side of the ball 320 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: with Rod Johnson getting a ton of snaps. And I 321 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: think that it's a great example of somebody who put 322 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: the time in to work out to get his body right. 323 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: And with old lineman john he correct me if I'm wrong. 324 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: This is the position group that has more spots on 325 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: a roster than any other because they have five guys 326 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: and very often of the fifty three or keeping nine, 327 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: if not ten, then you have a bunch of the 328 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: practice squard. You always want to have a lot of 329 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: the pipeline because when these guys go down, you have 330 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: to absolutely refill that and it's hard to just step 331 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: in and start and help out a team. So they 332 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: want to keep developing guys, and there's a lot of 333 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: room to get better here and to make it in 334 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: this league. And even if it's not with the team 335 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: that signs you or draft to you, there's a lot 336 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: of room for opportunity in the National Football League for 337 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: these big slug asauruss as my buddy Art Kejo used 338 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: to say at the University of Miami, because they are 339 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: able to, you know, take these giant leaps and improve 340 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: in a technique with really good coaching and physically handling themselves, 341 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: maybe differently or better than they did in college, and 342 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you see this sort of quantum 343 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: leap relative to maybe other position groups you see, and 344 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: these guys can catch on and go. So you know, 345 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: we've seen it here before. We mentioned Greg Mattson, Mike 346 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: Brizel is undrafted free agent wide receivers who have done 347 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: I mean offensive lineman who have done well. I'm not 348 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: saying these guys are gonna do it, but it's nice 349 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: to have the opportunity for them and for the team 350 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: to have a chance to see them flourish, no doubt. 351 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: And you use Rob Johnson, that's a great example. And 352 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: sometimes a team gives up on a guy, and shouldn't 353 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: say gives up on a guy, but you know, sometimes 354 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: it's a numbers game. Hey, look, we like you, but 355 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: we just we can't keep you. We gotta bring you in. 356 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: We gotta bring an extra corner because we got three 357 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: corners down, so we gotta let you go. And I 358 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: remember when Rod got here in twenty eighteen. I believe 359 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: it was he gets here in a twenty eighteen, and 360 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: I remember watching thinking, Okay, I see why you bring 361 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: in guys for depth, et cetera. But I wasn't seeing it. 362 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: It was kind of the same Rod we had seen 363 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: INDD that I had seen in college, and I thought 364 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: it's just justn't gonna fly. Rod came back in twenty nineteen. 365 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: He looked like a different player. He had a full 366 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: year to develop. Training camp. I went up to him 367 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: just and said, I don't know what this all means, 368 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: but Rod, I gotta tell you your as improved as 369 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: anybody I've seen. You've been really, really good in camp. 370 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: And he kind of looked at me like he was 371 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: surprised I was saying, and I was like, I'm just 372 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: being honest with you, man, you have come a long way. 373 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: I said, I don't know what it means. I don't 374 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: know if that means you can start gonna feel whatever 375 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: the case might be. But you have come a long way. 376 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: You just need to know that whatever work you have 377 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: put in is evident. And he was, you know, very 378 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: thankful for that. But then he gets on the field 379 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty nineteen and he does some good things 380 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen sets that you gotta have him in 381 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. If somebody goes down and lo and behold 382 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: what happens at the end of the year. Guys go down, 383 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: he's got to step in. And when he did, oh, 384 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: our run game got pretty darn good when he got 385 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: into the lineup. So Rod Johnson's the guy. And I 386 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: saw him the other day in the hallway, and Mark, 387 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: I remember seeing Rod in twenty eighteen and seeing him now, 388 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: and he looks like he bodied watch, just looks like 389 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: a different guy, completely different guy. He put the worst 390 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: come so far. Yeah, he put the work in. And 391 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: look what I mean, Carson Green and Ry McCollum, you 392 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: need to be walked over to him and say this 393 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: can be you, This can be you in a few years. 394 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: Might not hit right away it may not even be 395 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: in Houston, but look at what Rod Johnson was able 396 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: to do and what he's become. You can be that, 397 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: all right. So I don't want to be Debbie Downer 398 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: or anything here, but I need to see when these 399 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: guys and how these guys can get on the field 400 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: and start jelly. I need to see it. And I 401 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: know the coaches must be going crazy. You know, they 402 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: want to coach. Coaches want to coach. This just did 403 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: breaking news that David Culley and company want to see 404 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: these players on the field a SAP. There's got to 405 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: be something soon. There's a lot of uncertainty about that. Look, 406 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: you know you have training camp coming up, but this 407 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: is where the veteran teams are gonna have a big advantage. Now. 408 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: We thought the Texans might have a bit of an 409 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: advantage last year because they had a lot of I 410 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: don't know if he'd called him a veteran team or not, 411 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: but they had a lot of guys in spots that 412 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: they were used to playing. You were trying to break 413 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: in the receiving crew. But as you and I saw 414 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: training camp, and you just pointed out earlier in the 415 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: segment that a lot of injuries or whatever they were 416 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: doing at the wide receiver spot. You were just never 417 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: able to get that new crew on the field. At 418 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: the same time, you need to get whatever crew you 419 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: have on the field a sap, like I said, because 420 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: they've got to get a chance to gel, get some 421 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: chemistry going, because the season's going to start before you 422 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: know it. We're under three months away from the start 423 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: of training camp and it's fast and furious now, man, 424 00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't think about that. It's May four, 425 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: they fourth be with you. It's a Star Wars thing apparently. 426 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: But I mean we'll be in camp, I mean earlier 427 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: than August fourth, But that's three months away. I mean 428 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: we're less than yeah, we're less than three We're less 429 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: than three months away from training camp, which sounds just incredibly, 430 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: I mean crazy. But I wish there was some sort 431 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: of breaking in, breaking in period, if you will, to 432 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: you know, let these guys get on the field. And 433 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: the players were immediable to getting on the field for 434 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: you know, like the spring practice in college football, and 435 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: the coaches have I think we used to be twenty, 436 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: it might be fifteen now, I don't know how many. 437 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: They've got a certain number of practice, they spread them out, 438 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: then they take the weakest spring breaks, so they do 439 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: a few before spring breaks them after some trying to 440 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: do it all before. But they really have taken just 441 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: a different look and done different things with spring practice. 442 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: I think you could do that with these players. Let 443 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: them train where they want to train, bring them back 444 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: for half of the month of May, half of the 445 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: month August or June. I mean, what am I doing? 446 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: So two weeks back into May, two weeks to beginning 447 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: August or June. Why do I keep saying August? I 448 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: keep saying a training camp four weeks total, three OTAs, 449 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: three mini week of minie camp. Boom, done out. And 450 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: that's your quote unquote spring. We're not We're not gonna 451 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: get that this year. We're not getting We're not getting that. 452 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying eventually, I think you could get to something 453 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: like that. But even if this year mark, you just 454 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: get a week, just get a week. Yeah, crash course 455 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: immersion program. Yeah, you brought it up, and you made 456 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: the great point just to sort of get your feet wet, 457 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: you know, going hip hip deep, know where things are, 458 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,959 Speaker 1: you know, know the lay of the land and the facility. 459 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: So that way when you do show up for training camp, bam, 460 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: you can get going. And when I say no, the 461 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: lay of the land. Also know the offense a little 462 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: bit at least have some of those foundational plays in 463 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: the memory bank some memory, so when you get to 464 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: late July you can start going. You will have the 465 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: three preseason games, which compared to last year, is just 466 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: a danza to get some of these young players baptized 467 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL and get the free agents that you 468 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: signed acclimated to being Texans and what the Texans are 469 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: gonna look like, Okay, coming out more likely to happen. 470 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: And we've got quarterbacks, drafted quarterbacks, veteran quarterbacks, We've got hair. 471 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: We have a lot of stuff happening. More likely to happen. 472 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: Next on Texans All Access, Mark Vandermaer and John Harris 473 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: with you on Texans All Access and Johnny, we usually 474 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: do this on Thursdays or later in the week, but 475 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: we haven't done it in a while because of various reasons. 476 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: The NFL traft for one of them. So let's do 477 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: more likely to happen. Let's have the first one more 478 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: likely to happen, more likely to happen Jimmy Garoppolo stays, 479 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo goes, what is my time frame? Because of 480 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: actually Jimmy Garoppolo will go, I'm saying twenty one. No, 481 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: I think he stays for twenty twenty one. I think 482 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: I think he stays. Now. It'll come up the works 483 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: a little bit kind of if Jimmy is all that 484 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: and a bag of ships, which I'm not saying he's 485 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: ever really been that. But twenty seventeen he's pretty on good. 486 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: Twenty eighteen he wasn't healthy. Twenty nineteen he was healthy. 487 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: You thought him to the Super Bowl. He made one overthrow, Okay, 488 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: got it, but he got him the Super Bowl. It 489 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: was pretty good that year. Twenty twenty he's back being 490 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 1: banged up, and he's on the field. He does some 491 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: good things. I think, as crazy as it sounds, the 492 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: longer you can keep the number three pick on the sideline, 493 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: the better off. The forty nine ers are probably gonna 494 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: be just giving that young man the opportunity to learn 495 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: at his own pace. He's gotta be ready to each 496 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: and every Sunday. You know, he's one sprained ankle away 497 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: from getting on the field. However, you let Jimmy do 498 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: his thing, and maybe you have a package for Trey 499 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: Ans down in a goal line or something like that, 500 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: just to keep him involved. But if you keep Jimmy 501 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: all year long, I think Jimmy will do some good things. 502 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: And at the end of the year, if he has 503 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: a good year, you know you can you can move him. 504 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: There'll be teams looking for quarterbacks. Some team may not 505 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: want to pay a premium for some quarterbacks. Some teams 506 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: will may not want to pay a premium to get 507 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: one in the top five in a draft. And there's 508 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: Jimmy sitting there. Hey, we'll give him to you for 509 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: a good price. Give us of your second round pick 510 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: this year and your second round pick next year. We'll 511 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,719 Speaker 1: get him to you. But I think he stays. You know, 512 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: Jimmy said, Jimmy, we talk about him like it's a 513 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: Signfeld episode. Jimmy likes Jimmy likes a lanemy like But 514 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: Jimmy said, he said, you know, my career has come 515 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: full circle. I feel like in the early days and 516 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: I was competing with Tom, and then the media is 517 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: jumping all over and for saying competing with Tom, like 518 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: the two women in that reality show meme when they're 519 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: yelling at the cat who's sitting in the chair. You're 520 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: you're never competing with Tom. You never get listen, he's 521 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: just hawking. Okay, everybody calmed down here. Far be it 522 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: from me to defend Jimmy Garoppolo. But if I have 523 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: to inspire him, I'll say Drew Brees. Drew Brees saw 524 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers drafted by the San Diego Chargers and really 525 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: started to rev it up, get going, ended up with 526 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: the Saints. We all know the rest of the story. 527 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: Use this as a Drew Breesy and type experience. Make 528 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have to make a very difficult 529 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: decision because there's no guarantee that Trey Lance is gonna 530 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: play well. This just in as well, all right, Johnny, 531 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: next up? And more likely to happen. Let's have it 532 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: more likely to happen eight plus starts this year, eight 533 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: or more starts this year. Mac Jones or Trey Lance 534 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: more likely to happen more starts in twenty twenty one. 535 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go that's a great one. I'm gonna go 536 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: Mac Jones, okay, because I think there's gonna come a 537 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: point where where Cam is broken down. I mean, you know, 538 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: the last eighteen, nineteen twenty leah, last last three years. 539 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not been fully healthy for long stretches 540 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: of the year, if not the whole year. And it's 541 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: like he's getting any younger. So I would I would 542 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: bet more money that he's liable to be banged up. 543 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: Then again, so it is Jimmy. You know, Jimmy's not 544 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: proven that he could stay in the field. However odd 545 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: years Jimmy has played a significant amount of the games. 546 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: And by the way, while we're here, Mark, I want 547 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: to I want to kind of there was something I 548 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: I wish I could could quote it perfectly, but I 549 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: was listening to I think it was Sean as Seth 550 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: talk about there was there were some people there was 551 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: a there was a text or something that got saying, 552 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: well this, you know, why why would you take Oh? 553 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: I know what it was. It was, you know, if 554 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: if DeShawn Watson weren't trench as the starter, the Texas 555 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: would have never drafted Davis Mills. Really and I went 556 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: back and I was like, wait a second, Nick as 557 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: Sarah came to the Patriots and he has been in 558 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: that war room with Tom Brady on the docket when 559 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: they drafted Jimmy Garoppolo in the second round and two 560 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: years later drafted Jack Jacoby Brissette in twenty sixteen in 561 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: the third round. Yep. So yeah, I don't tell me that. 562 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: I mean, and Tom Brady's pretty good. Yeah, you still 563 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: spend a second and a third on a quarterback, yep, 564 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: so don't give me this. Oh yeah, well one had 565 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: to lead to the other. No, So anyways, back to 566 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: the point, Matt Jones is the one. But they also 567 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: they traded Jimmy for a two they could have gotten 568 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: four probably, and they traded their set for what player? 569 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: Oh Philip or Set or Set who was the former 570 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: first round receiver. Yeah, so look like I said, Hey see, 571 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks have value. See that's what I'm talking about. Okay, 572 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: all right, so you're gonna say it's Mac Jones in 573 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: all likelihood, all right, more likely to happen, next one, 574 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: more likely to happen, more likely to have more receptions 575 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans, Nico Collins or Brevin Jordans Nico 576 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: Collins or Brevin Jordan more receptions. This is a really 577 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: tough one. Now, I know the receiver room is crowded, 578 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: and moves will have to be made to have the 579 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: proper number of receivers on a fifty three man roster, 580 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: as we all know. Yes, and the tight end room 581 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: is kind of crowded, and they'll have high hopes for Jordan, 582 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: but look, there's no guarantee here. We saw Kahalli wearing 583 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: drafted in round three and he got hurt, you know 584 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: the rest of the story. So, and they could have 585 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: brought him back from ir that year, but they were 586 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: going pretty good in twenty nineteen and there wasn't really 587 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: a need to bring him back. Let him have a 588 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: red shirt year. We'll pick it up in twenty twenty. 589 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: And obviously it didn't go as well as planned. But 590 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: the point is this, you just don't know. So what 591 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: do you think. My theory is that Nico is at 592 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: least early on going to be a guy a lot 593 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: like he was at Michigan. His final year of Michigan 594 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: was twenty nineteen. He caught thirty seven passes for seven 595 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: hundred twenty nine yards. That's nearly a twenty yard average. 596 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: So high volume of yards, low volume of catches. Okay, 597 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: I could see who's ever playing quarterback trying to find 598 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: outlets to Brevin Jordan, and maybe there are more receptions, 599 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: but maybe not as many yards. Although I do think 600 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: that Brevin Jordan has a capability at some point when 601 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: it clicks for him to be a big time seem threat, 602 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: which can create as we saw with these tight ends 603 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: when Darren fells Jordan Nakins over the years, that created 604 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: some big yards for them. But I think Jordan can 605 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: be a very reliable outlet. You could take Jordan. You 606 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: can stick him out wide one on you, just on 607 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: his own, throw a little now screen and he's one 608 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: on one against a corner or a safety or whomever, 609 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: and that's a reception. You couldn't do that with Nike 610 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: go to, but you're probably gonna use Nico in a 611 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: speedy capacity going down the field living outside the number. 612 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Brevin Jordan on that one. Just 613 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: in theory, the tight ends having a few more opportunities 614 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: just because of where they live route wise versus what 615 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: Nico does down the field right now, good way to 616 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: answer it. Receptions versus yards. I like it. Big play 617 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: impact for Collins might actually be better this year. We'll 618 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: see maybe neither guy sees the field, their rookies. Who knows, 619 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: but we're just talking here. It's May and it's Texans 620 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: all access. All right, let's let's continue one more in 621 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: this segment. I'm more likely to happen, and it features 622 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 1: hair Johnny more likely to happen, more likely to be 623 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: remembered as the Texan with better hair, Brooks Reed, DeAndre Hopkins, 624 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: Roy Lopez, seventh round draft pick from this year, or 625 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: or somebody else we're not thinking of here or I'm 626 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: not thinking of. I guess you could say Jamie Sharper 627 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,719 Speaker 1: back in the day, man, I don't know who you 628 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't Robinson, I mean Brooks. It's it's got to be 629 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: Brooks Read. Nobody had hair like sunshine. I mean that 630 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: that that man was. You know, Gilly's hair was a 631 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: lot like Brooks Reid's hair. He was not here for 632 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: an extended period of time. But I'm gonna go Brooks 633 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: Read because that, uh, that sunshine, that sunshine, dude, man, 634 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: it was nice. Now Will Fuller's in twenty nineteen, I 635 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: think will let that grow long, really really long. Um 636 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: that was. I'm sure that somebody were missing, but right 637 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: off the top those I would say Brooks read. Do 638 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: you think that sunshine and remember the Titans helps older 639 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: coaches overlook long hair and evaluating athletes. No, not at all. 640 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: Do you think just cared at all? Oh? Yes, Oh, 641 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: I forgot to clown Clown's Johnny was. Yeah, clown was, Yeah, 642 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: it was. Didn't Clowney. Didn't Clowney one time tackle somebody 643 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: by the dreadlocks? Or did he and didn't? Didn't he 644 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: get pulled also by the dreads He might have been, 645 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: But I want to say that he yanked the hair 646 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: out of somebody's head after tackling them. I don't remember 647 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: now Derrick Henry's boy, what he does with that little 648 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: elfin Taylor whatever you call that thing. Oh my goodness, 649 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: that thing is. That thing is wild. That thing's got 650 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: a zip code of its own. Man, Holy smokes. Yeah. 651 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: And yet you might want to try and grab it, 652 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: grab him by that, but no, you just forget. It's 653 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: it's over. Um. I'm still gonna go Brooks read on 654 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: that one. But I'm sure there's somebody that we're absolutely forgetting. Uh. 655 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: Clowney's a good one, but I'm gonna brush reet all right. 656 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: Quick perusal of the AFC South Draft not a Clute 657 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: in Texans and also teams that Texans will be facing 658 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: with interesting draft choices here in twenty twenty one.

They face the AFC East, so 665 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: you'll face Zach Wilson in all likelihood at NRG Stadium. 666 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: That's gonna be pretty cool to have Wilson at NRG Stadium. 667 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: It will be nice. The one that I really am 668 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 1: now looking forward to facing Miami Kaylan Wattle with Will 669 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: Fuller with DeVante Parker. Could be not fun for AFC 670 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: East foes. That's down in South Florida too. That's down 671 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: in South Florida. So yeah, wow, we could see Mac 672 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: Jones that That could be kind of interesting to see 673 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. Either way, it'll be back in Energy Stadium 674 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: that I like. I want to go back up to Gillette.

Yeah, guns blazing, you know, 678 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to go up 679 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: right now, but but you know, right here and RG 680 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: Statum got two uh two season winning streaking against them. 681 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: Could see Mac Jones. That could be that could be 682 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 1: pretty fun. We're facing the NFC West as well. Now 683 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Okay, over Hunter, just off the top of 684 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 1: your head, I'm setting it at five. How many draft 685 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: picks did the uh Seattle Seahawks have? Yeah, under, I'll 686 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: set the number at three and a half. I'm inted 687 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 1: the half under. Yeah, they had three. They had three. 688 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: Now they made the most of it. I guess they 689 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: had three picks. That's amazing. Three that three, that's amazing. 690 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be fascinating to see what kind of 691 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: season they have, considering some of the rumblings about Wilson 692 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: and then the three draft choices, like, let's see what 693 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: you got, guys, but that division is brutal, So to 694 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 1: play them this year out and you're gonna go to Arizona. Yeah, 695 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: could see Trey Lance? Could you could? Oh yeah, you 696 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: could definitely could see Trey Lance. You know you're not 697 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: gonna see Mall Santa Let's put it that way, with 698 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers, and you're gonna see 699 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford at NRG Stadium, playing back in the lone 700 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: Star Stadi's from Highland Park, suburb of Dallas. It's gonna 701 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: be fun to see him here. Trevor Lawrence, I'll ask 702 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: you again, is there any way he does not start 703 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: opening Day for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I don't know how 704 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: unless it's an injury. I'm not wishing injury, and anybody 705 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: I would imagine they've got to get the future started now. 706 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean it's just in preseason games. He's just brutal 707 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: and it doesn't it doesn't go well the first three 708 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: or four weeks, and they just need to calm him down. 709 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: Then maybe they go with Gardner Minch you at that 710 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: point Maybee and maybe we catch him in that way. 711 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: I just don't see it, though, I don't see it. 712 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got he's the guy. The schedule comes 713 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,720 Speaker 1: out a week from tomorrow. Pick your opening day opponent. 714 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: I'm allowing you to pick your first three teams. Here. 715 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: First three teams you get to play Johnny. You get 716 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: to decide who the Texans play. And by the way, 717 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: the preseason schedule will come out too. I would imagine 718 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: that this year the league is handling all the preseason 719 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: games very often well. In the past the teams have 720 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: arranged this with some help and supervision from the league, 721 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: and nationally televised games put into the mix. But now 722 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,359 Speaker 1: with only three, the league has stepped in and said 723 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: we got this, and they're scheduling the preseason games. Texans 724 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: have three. They have one at home and two on 725 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: the road in the preseason for here twenty twenty one. 726 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: Go on, I want to face Carolina first week at 727 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: home because I feel like Sam Darnod which Joe Brady 728 00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: will get better. Okay, so catching Carolina decem is gonna stings. 729 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 1: I think Darnald will be much much better. You're gonna 730 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: open it home with Carolina. What's week two? Yes, I 731 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 1: want to go to Jacksonville. Nice, catch Trevor Lawrence kind 732 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: of uh, you know, the rookie stages and go down 733 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: to Duvall County before they kind of get in a 734 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: lather as well. So go with Carolina and then Jacksonville 735 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 1: and then let's come back home and let's take on 736 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: an OH and two Jets team and Zach Wilson. Zach 737 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: Wilson potentially making his first start on the road after 738 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: losing twice in MetLife to start the year. Isn't Wilson 739 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 1: starting opening day for them? Oh? Yeah, I know, That's 740 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,280 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It loses the first two, he's shaking 741 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: up a little bit. Robert Salis coming back to Houston, 742 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on them to get a win, 743 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: and its save the Colts for later. Let Wentz, you know, 744 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: Wentz will get hurt and then you can play whoever 745 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: you know, Sam Ellinger back at NRG Stadium. No, I'm kidding. 746 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: I'm kidding, and I don't want to see anybody get 747 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: hurt either. I'm joking. This is terrible, but you know, 748 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: Wentz does not have a very good history of staying healthy. Johnny, 749 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 1: who's drafted you like best? From an objective standpoint? Because 750 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: I hate them all, the cults, the Jags or the Titans. 751 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: Who had the best draft? I know the Jags got 752 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: a lot of love because they hit Lawrence and ETN 753 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: and everything, But what are your thoughts on this whole subject? 754 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: I liked not just the volume in Jacksonville. I like 755 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: the players they picked. I thought Etn was kind of 756 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of an odd choice at running back. 757 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: But I love their middle rounds, you know, second round, 758 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: in particular Tyson Campbell Walker a little. I thought they 759 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: were very good. Janleen Camp seventh round receiver at the 760 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 1: very ange. I guess seventh rounder. He's excellent seventh round 761 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: receiver sixty two sixty three, about two thirty and can 762 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: run the four five range. He's an athlete. So I 763 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: like what Jacksonville did. I love the first two picks 764 00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: for the Colts, Quity Pay and Dao Dingbo, but I 765 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: don't know when we'll see you Danbo on the field, 766 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 1: and Pays got a room to grow. But I love 767 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: everything about that young man. If you haven't seen his 768 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 1: story or the video on his story, it's amazing. It's 769 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:19,240 Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. His mom freeing from the lib Liberia. Yeah, oh, 770 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 1: I mean, it'll just oh my goodness. The Titans were 771 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: kind of hit or miss for me. Caleb Farley was 772 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: a massive hit for them. I thought I was like, dad, 773 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: gum it. They did the same thing with Jeffrey Simmonsisco 774 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: work out. Farley I think was a great pick, Ray 775 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: Duns excellent pick. The back end where they went Rashard Weaver, 776 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 1: Racey McMath of Brady Breeze. I felt like they just 777 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: threw those three picks away. I don't. I was not 778 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: a big fan of any of those guys. Maybe Brady 779 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: Breese in seventh round, but I loved Elijah Molden at 780 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: hundred pick hundred and destch Patrick one or on. I 781 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: love those picks. So I think the top five guys. 782 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: But the fact that Rashod Weaver, they drafted in a 783 00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: week and a half before, a week before whatever it was, 784 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: got in trouble, in big time trouble. It's just like 785 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: again they did last year Isaiah Wilson, and now it's 786 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: happening again. Man. That's it hasn't been a good look 787 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: for Tennessee for sure. No, it hasn't. And I don't 788 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: know how, you know, I could go both ways. I 789 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: don't know how you find out. I don't know how 790 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: you not find out what happened, you know what I mean? Yeah, 791 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: I agree with you same thing. It's not like it 792 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 1: happened that morning and it just he snuck through or whatever. 793 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: And I have a beef of his agent, you know 794 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: at that particular point, Hey, you know we picked him. 795 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: What's going on here? But you know that's and it's 796 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,799 Speaker 1: their problem. It's not the Texans problem. And everybody's got 797 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 1: their own problems obviously, as we get ready for twenty 798 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 1: twenty one here, Johnny, really great to have you on 799 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: as always, and let's do it again tomorrow.
