88
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,920

89
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 5: through camp, just building that, you know, getting each other better,

90
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 5: you know, irons type of irons man. So the ground

91
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 5: we put in during practice, man, it shows doing prime time.

92
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 5: And so whenever you know we're out there making hard

93
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 5: stuff like easy, it's just you know, because we're in practice,

94
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,320

Speaker 5: it's easy. We don't even think about it, you know.

97
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 5: So I feel like that's what we did entire team,

Speaker 5: just continue to work on our craft and get better

100
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 5: and learning from you know, the previous games.

101
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 7: So I thought it was fascinating after the game how

102
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 7: many people nationally were like, yo, Nico Collins and he's him,

103
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 7: he's the truth.

104
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 6: But we saw you do that all year long.

105
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, and there were so many, so many great plays,

106
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 9: so many great moments. What was one thing in your

107
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 9: game that you were most proud of this year that

108
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 9: maybe not the first two years, but what were you

109
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 9: most proud of? Like maybe there's a moment or maybe

110
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 9: there was something that you did that stood out the most.

111
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 5: Man, I say, just just just watching my growth every week,

112
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 5: just watching you know, the way I just took care

113
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 5: of my body and watching the progress from it. You know,

114
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 5: you really put the you put the work in. You

Speaker 5: And I feel like it showed every single week. Man,

117
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 5: just just walking in on small things and and it

118
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 5: translates on the field, you know. So I feel like

119
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 5: for me, man, just just watching the growth every single week. Man,

120
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: I really put that that on my mind. Just get better,

Speaker 5: you because the angles, you know, because it's it ain't

158
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 5: more tackle on angles, So you just go vertical, it's harder,

159
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 5: you know. So so for me it was just more

160
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 5: like catch and just go. Just let what happens, you know,

161
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 5: just power through it, get the first down, the extra

162
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 5: two yards. You know, you can break through a tackle,

163
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: you know, as long as you go full speed. Man,

164
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 5: mind on the end zone. You know, anything happened.

165
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: I don't want to focus too much on previous years,

166
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: but it had to blow your mind the kind of

167
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: success that the Texans were having this year with the

168
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: new players and you're having the kind of campaign you did,

169
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: So how does that affect this coming season because now

170
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: you're definitely gonna be the hunter right going into the

171
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: af the entire.

172
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 5: Skill right, right, Man, I feel like it was it

173
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 5: was really impressive, man, for what we did for new coaches,

174
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 5: new head coach, new office coordinators, just new faces around

175
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 5: the building. Man, And to do what we did last

176
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 5: year was surprising.

177
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: You know.

178
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: I feel like we surprised a lot of people.

179
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 5: But it also shows that the work we've been putting in,

180
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 5: you know, from OTA's camp and throughout the season, how

181
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 5: we just balled in. So I just feel like it's

182
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 5: it's only right, man. We just continue to build and

183
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 5: feed off what we did from last year. You know,

184
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 5: just losing the first round in the playoffs, man, just

185
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 5: didn't sit right.

186
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: You know.

187
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 5: It's like we made it as far as ever, see

188
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 5: what we can do, you know, so let's let's let's

189
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 5: not have this feeling again. You know, Let's get to

00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 4: You know.

193
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 5: I feel like you take game by game, man, the

194
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 5: rest the rest is for yourself. You know, things gonna

195
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 5: lay out. You gotta be yourself.

235
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,840

Speaker 1: you see it? Man?

00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: picked him up, he came OTA's man and just going

241
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 5: through routs on air, man, just the way he just

242
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 5: laid the ball, you know, just easy, a little effortless,

243
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 5: you know. And and every since then, you're just seeing

244
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: his progression every single day, you know, up until OTAs

245
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 5: to camp camp, to the first season, preseason, pre season

246
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,720

Speaker 5: his steady growth every year was just amazing. And you

248
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 5: could tell like he came in with the leader leader mentality.

249
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 5: You know, we we had his back. He knew it,

250
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,800

280
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: Right, there's Nico Collins, Johnny. He put together a campaign

281
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: that was only surpassed by two men in the history

282
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: of this franchise, and that would be Andre Johnson, who's

283
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and DeAndre Hopkins,

284
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: who might go into the Pro Football Hall of who

285
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: I figure would But anyway, we don't have to talk

286
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: about that part of it now. But Nico Collins with

287
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: nearly thirteen hundred yards and the yards per catch, I

288
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: don't want to bog everybody down with numbers, which means

289
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm about to podcast down with numbers.

290
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: Do it well?

291
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: The yards per reception sixteen point two through the course

292
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: of a season, Johnny, Now, how many times did Andre

293
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: Johnson achieve that mark through the course of a season. Never?

294
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: And I'm not taking anything away from Andre Johnson, No,

295
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: I would never. I would never take anything away.

296
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: From sixteen point two.

297
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: We never got the sixteen point two, never got the

298
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: sixteen point two, and you know who else never got

299
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: to sixteen point two DeAndre Hopkins, which I would think

300
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: for a lot of people would be easier to imagine

301
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: because a lot of us, a lot of us, a

302
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: lot of us younger listeners, like I'm one of them,

303
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: a lot of you younger listeners. I had a moment

304
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: today in the lunch room because Duke Kane was on

305
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: earlier today and we were watching and Keith Danbrot is

00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: the head coach of the first men's basketball team that

308
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: I was the voice of, and that was the Central

309
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: Michigan CHIPWAZ And I mentioned that, and somebody had the

310
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: gall the nerve to ask what year was that? And

311
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: I was like, it was nine. I just didn't want

312
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: to do it was nineteen ninety two.

313
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: Nytime you put nineteen in front of a number, now

314
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: you mean it's oh, it's over.

315
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: It's because done.

316
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: There were literally people at the table who were born

317
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: not in the nineteen hundreds. Okay, they were born in

318
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: the two thousands. And that just hurt a lot, Johnny,

319
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: that just hurt a lot. But Dan brought had to

320
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: depart coaching because of a controversy. I won't get into

321
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: it right now, But he overcame it, and Lebron James

322
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: was his pupil. I'm Mount Saint Vincent, Saint Mary's. Is

323
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: that what it's called. That's the high school. So he

324
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: was a high school coach there and he cleansed himself

325
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: in the water of Lebron James and the rest is history,

326
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: all right. So anyway, why did I bring that up yet?

327
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: Because I saw every played that Andre Johnson ever made

328
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: in college and the NFL and called most of them

329
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: and he never got to sixteen plus in a yard

330
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: per catch statistical category. So what a year for Nico

331
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Collins to have this. Now, I'm not saying he's going

332
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: to do that every year. In fact, this year, I'll

333
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: take a little less. If Tank's healthy gets a little more, right,

334
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: you get a few more receptions going in the way

335
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: of Joe Mixon. I think CJ. Stroud with the amount

336
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: of yards he threw for that kind of total again

337
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: or something maybe a little bit less I'd be okay

338
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: with because I want to see more run game production

339
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: with Joe Mixon and friends whatever the friends turn out

340
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: to be. And in addition to Damian Pierce, so Nico Collins,

341
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: I mean, what a terrific guy. I was joking with

342
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: him after the interview. You need to be more of

343
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: a diva. Where are your diva skills? You're just not one.

344
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: What a great person that I have on this football team.

345
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny I've seen He's such a sweetheart.

346
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: I mean, you never see us smile. He greets everybody.

347
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, how many times are going to the cafeteria?

348
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: Hjohn, what's up?

349
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 6: You know?

350
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: It was kind of Chad, just really sweet guy. But

351
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 2: there's a switch that gets flipped with him out on

352
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: the field. And I'm telling you week eighteen, that switch

353
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: flipped in a big way. I'm working on my second

354
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: mock draft, and both times that I've gotten to Indianapolis,

355
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: I invoke Week eighteen Nico Collins rules.

356
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: You got roasted. You need help. The Colts need to

357
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: draft the corner. I just can't.

358
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: I can't give them anything else. I mean, I saw

359
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: it right there. Ju Drew Brtz couldn't get it done.

360
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: Jalen Jones couldn't get it done. They couldn't. They just

361
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: they couldn't do it. No matter what was happening that night.

362
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: The entire secondary could. And when you start thinking about

363
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: think about the the origination of the Texans. You had

364
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: to beat Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison and Dallas Clark.

365
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: You had to cover those guys. You had to rush

366
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning. So you made draft picks of Mario Williams,

367
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: Dante Robinson. You went and got players that were going

368
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: to shut down or slow hopefully slow down those great players.

369
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: Well that's where the Colts are now.

370
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: If you're in, and the Jags and Titans too, they're

371
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: gonna have to go get corners to slow down Nico Collins.

372
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to go get corners that can maybe

373
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: even come close to running with Tank Dell. They're gonna

374
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: have to go get more pass rushers to get heat

375
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: on CJ. Stroud And hopefully it's gonna be that like

376
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: that for a long time. And that night, Week eighteen,

377
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: he's just going off with the switch had been flipped.

378
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: It was so fun to watch.

379
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: I loved his answer that when I asked him about

380
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: because I've been thinking about this for a while. I

381
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: always as a coach, I always thought about what my

382
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: first play was gonna be. Yeah, I always thought about it.

383
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: What play did I want to run? First play? How

384
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: did I feel. I got to a point later in

385
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: my coaching career where I had a few in my

386
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: mind and I would kind of let it play out

387
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: before I would go to that, like what was I

388
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: going to do? And then I would tell my quarterback

389
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: during warm up, so, okay, we're gonna start here.

390
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: This is what we're gonna do.

391
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: He says.

392
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: Wednesday that was the first that That's when they knew

393
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: this is going to be the first play. And then

394
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: even in that play, if they had taken him away,

395
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: they'd run a safety back there or whatever. You know,

396
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: maybe they could take him away. But just the preparation

397
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: of from Wednesday to Saturday night at seven, I mean,

398
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: then you got to watch the Colts go on to

399
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: drive to kick a field goal. You gotta wait that

400
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: whole time, and you're sitting on this secret of where

401
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: about the bomb you first play and then you do it.

402
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: That was That's just awesome. I was joking about the

403
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: second down call. What was second down? It was second

404
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: because you might have had a first down call had

405
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: he been tackled with the reception right, you might be

406
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: tackled in Colts territory.

407
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: Deep yeah, low Red, you know who knows.

408
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: Because he had to engage in a little contact, right

409
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: and get that. It wasn't like he was running five

410
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: yards wide open.

411
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: Right.

412
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: He made a catch. It wasn't fully contested, but it

413
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: was not a wide open cash. He's great with the

414
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: hands right now. It's just great to watch. But since

415
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: you turned it into a cult thing, I kind of

416
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: did well because they have to do things to combat

417
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: the Texans and you brought up the Manning era and

418
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: agree with that way. Oh absolutely, Mario Williams. When they

419
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: drafted Mario Williams here, one of the first things that

420
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: was said. I don't know if Bob McNair said it.

421
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: Charlie Cassy. Hey, they they got Mario Williams. You gotta

422
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: go after Peyton Manning. Say, defense wins championships. See, they

423
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: went on that narrative because it was a very clear one.

424
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: You had to deal with Peyton Manning in the division.

425
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: Steve McNair was already he might have been in Baltimore

426
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: already at that point. As it was, you have to

427
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: deal with Peyton Manning. They've got to deal with CJ.

428
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: Stratt of this passing attack. So yeah, get corners. Now,

429
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: as far as the Texans go. They are beefing up

430
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: the D line, and I know the guy's talked about

431
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: it this morning. They've been talking about it all season

432
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: or all off season long. What Demico said in the

433
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: farewell press conference, we need to get stronger upfront, defensively,

434
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: get better I'm paraphrasing here. And the question is have

435
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: they I think we all agree they have. Yeah, it's

436
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: too bad beleaks not here, But clearly that was sort

437
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: of a It was as close to a mutual parting

438
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: of the ways when you hear what Nicko Sario had

439
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: to say about it, what's best for the player, what's

440
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: best for the team, and then you have well you

441
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: couldn't get rankings back, but you added Fatakasi, you added Otr,

442
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: you can slip inside, You added other players in the

443
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: mix at tackle, and the d NS are getting rave

444
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: reviews all around the national media right now. Look at

445
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: this d end group that you have put together in Houston.

446
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: They've got to go after Anthony Richardson since you made

447
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: it a cult thing. Do they have what they need now?

448
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: Because we all saw the early returns against Richardson, and

449
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: look that was I was shell shocked. The first couple

450
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: of drives with the Colts because he runs a couple

451
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: of touchdowns in and then he exits the game and

452
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: you think you're gonna be okay with Minshew. But the

453
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: fact is Richardson did damage when he was out there,

454
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering what it's going to be like when

455
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: you see him this year. What is that going to

456
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: be like? Are you going to be able to contain him?

457
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: I still wonder what would the rest of that game

458
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: been like with him? But do you have what you

459
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: need upfront to deal with Richardson? So far?

460
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 2: I think you do when you add in we didn't

461
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: face Richardson with Derek Barnett, Will Anderson Junior, Deniko Audrey.

462
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: We didn't face him with those guys. Now here's the

463
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: thing in stopping Anthony Richardson. You can play it a

464
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: couple of different ways. You can let your defensive ends

465
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: just hunt running backs and then let your linebackers read

466
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 2: do those things. Now you have a zizel Shire and

467
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 2: you have you have Christian Harris, Christian playing at.

468
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: A very high level.

469
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: Hopefully he'll just continue where he was and not continue,

470
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: but get better from where he was where he left off,

471
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: because where he left off was really good. I think

472
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 2: to stop Richardson, I mean, obviously it's a three level effort,

473
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: But do you have the hosses up front? I think

474
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: you do on the defensive end for sure. Defensive tackles.

475
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: I think defense tackle is gonna better than people think.

476
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: It's just hmm. These guys aren't big stars. They didn't

477
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: really know the names. We knew Sheldon Ranket's name. At

478
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 2: least we obviously knew what Malik could do. Maybe you

479
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 2: don't know the defensive tackles names, but I think you're

480
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: gonna end up being okay. And I do think I

481
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: still think you strengthen a strength that if you get

482
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 2: in a draft and there's a situation where you can

483
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: move around or a defensive line that falls to you

484
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: that you really like, you know, a Bradon Fiskey, somebody

485
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: like that, maybe Tovandre Sweat. Depending on how you feel

486
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: about it, that you go ahead, snap it up. You

487
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: strengthen to strength and you make it that much better.

488
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 2: And that's seeming what the Texas have done. Yes, you

489
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: lost your Nard, so you bring in Dniko Autry, Okay,

490
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: Then you get to Neil Hunter. Then you bring back

491
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: Derek Barnett, You're like, man, it's just one after the

492
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: other that you're bringing into that position.

493
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 3: So do they have enough to slow him down?

494
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: Yes?

495
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: I feel like the biggest thing that you have to

496
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: have to slow him down is I discipline. So whatever

497
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: players you have out there, you've got the athletes and

498
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: you've got the mix to be able to do it.

499
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: But because of some of the things that Stichen Will

500
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 2: do with Richardson, you got to be super disciplined, super

501
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: discipl Remember the spin out that he had going into

502
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: the north end zone. I don't know what Will's responsibility

503
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: was on that, but Will went chasing the running back

504
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: all the way down the line of scrimmage. Now the

505
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 2: linebacker should then adjust. Linebacker did adjust, but I guess

506
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: the Colts did. Colts block linebacker and forced the defensive

507
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 2: backs have to come up attack Richardson.

508
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: They weren't able to do it.

509
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: It takes a full team effort to stop Richardson as

510
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: a as a runner. As a passer, you're gonna need

511
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 2: that obvious pass rush pressure, but you're gonna need some

512
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 2: stickier corners, some stick your coverage, and hopefully they're gonna

513
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: be able to continue to find those, so hopefully Accuda

514
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: is that hopefully the safety's cover a little bit better.

515
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: But I feel like they've made additions enough to make

516
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: it more difficult on Richardson or Joe Flacco, depending on

517
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 2: if we see Joe Flacco this year in a Colts uniform.

518
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: I'm just envisioning what that looks like. What does Joe

519
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: Flacco in a Colt's uniform look like? And I just

520
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: got a vision. I don't like it. I don't like it,

521
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: but I have the vision now. I'm not a big

522
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: fan of it. You gone, I wish you would have

523
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: gone somewhere else. Let's Sam Allen here be the backup.

524
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: We've beaten him before.

525
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: Didn't I ask you a more likely to have it?

526
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: Or who's better or something? Who would you rather face

527
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: Flacco or Minshew quarterbacking the Colts. I think I'd rather

528
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: see Flacco.

529
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: I think I'd rather face Minshew. Okay, Mint, What has

530
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: Minshe ever done to the Texans?

531
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: Well, he came close to doing something really profound.

532
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: Well, I came close to hitting the trash can over

533
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 2: there with my watered up piece of paper too.

534
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: And it make it look Flacco had a really good

535
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: game in the regular season for the Browns and not

536
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: so hot in the playoffs against the Texans.

537
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: Demiko in this defense, Demiko in this defense put the

538
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: game on Minshew's shoulders. They knew Taylor was gonna get

539
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: his They put the game on Minshew' shoulders in Week

540
00:22:55,119 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 2: eighteen with everything on the line in Minshew mm hmm,

541
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: Well look he was Joe Flacco did that to us

542
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 2: in the playhoffs.

543
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: He did the same thing.

544
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: He's a good point, because they were running on the

545
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: Texans in that drive. They were able to get you know,

546
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: just they were matriculating the ball down the field, right, yep, so.

547
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: But they weren't doing it because of Gardner Minshew.

548
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 2: Right now, Flacco, you get Flacco out Pierce Michael Pittman's back.

549
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 2: I did give them a corner in my mock draft.

550
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: I think I'm pretty sure I did. Indiapolis Colts, Yeah,

551
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: I gave him a corner. I said, what's the week

552
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: team game and the Colts inability to cover wide receiver

553
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 2: Nico Collins, and this pick makes sense.

554
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 3: Quinon Mitchell Toledo going to Indianapolis or you have.

555
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: Really hammered him on not being able to handle Nico. Well, yeah, absolutely.

556
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: Imagine if Tank is there too.

557
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: I mean, because why you faced the when you face

558
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: the best team in the division twice a year. I mean,

559
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: my my whole thought process goes back to all those years,

560
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: Like you said, drafting Mario Williams, Amovia Koya the next year,

561
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: Hey Robinson, years before that, Brian Cushing a couple of

562
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: years after that.

563
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 3: There were defensive picks all the way throughout.

564
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: And why well you had to go beat Peyton Manning

565
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: to be the best in division and you had to

566
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: go boaster that side. Well, that's why I bring it up.

567
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 2: I mean, could you Drew Brts get better? Yeah, he can,

568
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 2: but Niko Koles get a little bit better too. And

569
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: on top of that, the Colts didn't even have to

570
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 2: face tanked out.

571
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, I look at it like this.

572
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to back up your point even further. Here

573
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: in the game where Flacco was so masterful against the Texans,

574
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: he threw three touchdown passes two picks by the way,

575
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: three touchdown passes, So there was four picks in two games,

576
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: and two of that that's the Flacco experience. Yeah, three

577
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty eight yards though in that victory for Cleveland. Yeah,

578
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: and they didn't run the ball well. The Texans handled

579
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: the run great with Ford and Strong and Hunt. Texans

580
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: played great against the run, but the Browns at the time,

581
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: they were just slinging it and getting it. So to

582
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: your point, if you're gearing up to stop the run, thinking,

583
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: minshew can't beat us like this. Flacco can beat you

584
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: through the air. He's gonna give up some interceptions, but

585
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: he can beat you through the air. He's a year older.

586
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes. Look, I can't wait. I

587
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna have it early in a late

588
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: game again against the Colts. It's gonna happen. We'll have them.

589
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 3: Have we ever had a we have we ever had uh?

590
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: Like with the Titans last couple of years, it's been

591
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: week fifteen, week seventeen kind of thing.

592
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, have we had that with that? I can't with

593
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 3: a neighbor.

594
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, against in twenty eighteen, remember Luck and company coming

595
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: in here? What was that second or one that was?

596
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 2: But that was that was the end of year and

597
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 2: then playoff game. Yeah, but have we ever had it?

598
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 2: You know, in the regular season schedule where we've played

599
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: them that close, it's always been.

600
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: Oh close, I see what you're saying.

601
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: Have we ever played them in what we've done with

602
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: the Titans. We've played them, and yeah, we've done it

603
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: a couple of times when the Tists have happened, but

604
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 2: I can't remember.

605
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 3: I feel like there's always one early with the Colts,

606
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 3: one league with.

607
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: The Colts always spread out. It's always kind of spread out,

608
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: spread out more than you think. I in fact, even

609
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: the Jags. I think the Titans are the only team

610
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: that we've really been that close with consistently. Yeah, that's

611
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: been like two or three years. I might not be

612
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: remembering it exactly.

613
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: Nineteen was that way? Nineteen was that way because we

614
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 2: beat them up there. Now I don't know if it

615
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 2: was game I don't know if it's Titans.

616
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: Nineteen you lost to that. Oh wait, which team.

617
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 3: In nineteen you went up there?

618
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: You're talking about the Titans.

619
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Titans, you went up there. Then you had a

620
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: week maybe two, and then you played the Titans again

621
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 2: in the regular season, and now you had the JV

622
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: lineup going that time.

623
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, I wouldn't find it.

624
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 4: You know.

625
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 2: This year, it was interesting because when we played the

626
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 2: Colts of Week two, the teams couldn't have been any

627
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: more different week eighteen, so it actually made for a

628
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: really interesting kind of combination.

629
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: All Right, we're rambling and we're scrambling, and we're getting

630
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 1: ready for more likely to happen. And in the final segment,

631
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: Drew does it check in. You got to hear this

632
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: with Jalen Peatree, So check that out. It's coming up

633
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: here on Texans Radio. Great to have you listening tonight.

634
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: As everyone, at some point either today or tomorrow or

635
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: maybe over the weekend too, we'll rediscover how to find

636
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 1: out where true TV is because this is always an

637
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: annual thing. Here's a little question for you. What post

638
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: season is similar to this where you're like, what channel

639
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: is it on Baseball? Baseball TVA exactly? So when I

640
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: was TBS, but for a while ABC Family, remember when

641
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: they did stuff like that. Yea, it was bizarre.

642
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

643
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: When I was at a compete radio station on national radio,

644
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: we had a wall of TV's it was like nine

645
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: TVs and we would they would all be programmed on

646
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: different things.

647
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: So we got the tournament.

648
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: Obviously they would put all the tournament games up there,

649
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: and so invariably my show being live midnight to five

650
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: and like two in the morning, I would look up

651
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: there and I'm like.

652
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 3: Why, what, why is cops on? You know?

653
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 2: Or something like that, because and then I would realize,

654
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: oh yeah, True TV went from the basketball game back

655
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: to True TV, back to True TV, And so I

656
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: would end up getting things, and every every single early

657
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: morning I was on, it would just mystify me, like man, what,

658
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 2: oh yeah.

659
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: Why not put it? Look, MTV is the same company.

660
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: I want to put it on MTV because what we

661
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: have to interrupt the endless loop of ridiculousness, because that

662
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: runs every happening, all right. So Ridiculousness is this show

663
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: where they run viral videos and they comment on them.

664
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: Those who are listening who watch it know exactly what

665
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm talking.

666
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: Like a mystery science theater three thousand meets YouTube.

667
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: Us a panel. It's kind of like a game show,

668
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: but there's no game to play. Vander Kidd was once

669
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: once binging on this, and I sampled it for a

670
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: few minutes and I got the picture. But if you

671
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: go to the channel guide, which I still do because

672
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated with programming, it's ridiculousness. Ridiculousness, ridiculousness, it's like

673
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: friends on Nickelodeon at night.

674
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: It's like shows on Food Network, which just goes from

675
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: the one that he hosts to another one he hosts,

676
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: another one he hosts. It's like Man, then it's the

677
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 2: Bobby Flay Day, where it's all Bobby Flay shows.

678
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

679
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: TV programming is more different than ever. Okay, let's get

680
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 1: to a little game that we like to play, and

681
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: it's really not a game. It's something that we do

682
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: on Thursday nights. It's just so enjoyable. It's called more

683
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: likely to happen, more likely to happen, Johnnyre you ready

684
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: to go? Here? We go, more likely, I'm going to

685
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: go in no particular order here, more likely to start

686
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: more games in Pittsburgh Justin Fields or Russell Wilson. Who's

687
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: going to start more games in Pittsburgh in twenty twenty four.

688
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Russell Wilson. Okay.

689
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: And one of the reasons why I think that will

690
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: happen is there's a there was a clause in the

691
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: trade that said the sixth rounder going back to Chicago

692
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: turns to a fourth if Justin Fields plays fifty one

693
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 2: percent or more of the plays.

694
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: Oh so, I think they will let Russell Wilson go.

695
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: He have a long leash once they get to week ten,

696
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 2: where presumably after week ten or eleven, the snaps aren't

697
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: gonna matter.

698
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 3: You're gonna only give up a sixth.

699
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 2: Then they'll go to Justin Fields if the wheels are

700
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: falling off for the Pittsburgh Steelers. So that I am

701
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: going with as Yeah, maybe the Steeler is getting cute

702
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: with it, but I think they want to know what

703
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 2: they have with Russell Wilson. Let justin take a step back,

704
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 2: watch things from the sidelines, and then when it comes time, Okay, Russell,

705
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: it's really done. I know a lot of people have

706
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: brought this up, Mark, and I'm curious your thoughts on this.

707
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: A lot of people have brought up, well, he was

708
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: twenty six and eight last year through twenty I think

709
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: it was twenty six touchdowns, eight interceptions.

710
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: I think that's what it was.

711
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 2: And on the surface you look at it and go, yeah,

712
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: but in reality, the Broncos are taking an eighty five

713
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: million dollar cap hit to.

714
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 3: Get him gone.

715
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't like him. So what does that tell you? Well, look,

716
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: I'll go said the question further back than that and

717
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 1: it's further, not farther, because it's conceptual. Seattle. Seattle got

718
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: rid of him. Now they got a lot for him.

719
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: They didn't eat a lot, they got a lot, got

720
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: a lot. Denver had to eat everything. I mean, Denver

721
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: had to just take it on the chin two years in, right,

722
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: And that's why Watson watches going on now or really

723
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: it's been going on since they acquired him. Is this

724
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: really going to work out? At what point do they

725
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: eat that contract? They can't do it yet. They got

726
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: to give him another shot. Everyone's talking about this is

727
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: a side note, but the Watson and I shouldn't even

728
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: go here. But the second half he had against Baltimore,

729
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: going fourteen for fourteen, Right, people go right to that

730
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: like that is the great elixir of life. He went

731
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: fourteen for fourteen to the second half. That means everything's

732
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: fine when he gets back, no problems. He has had

733
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: thrown a ball since that day, right, he sat out

734
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: even more time. Now, I agree that that was a

735
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: good look in half, short passes, but so what they

736
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: won the game. He played well the second half, but

737
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: you can't assume anything based on that. There are some reserves.

738
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure what's his name in Chicago Beaigit had a

739
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: pretty good half. At some point, you have to consistently

740
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: perform in this league.

741
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 3: Come on, all right, okay, go, Well here's one other thing,

742
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 3: real fast.

743
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: We played the Tennessee Titans on January third, twenty twenty one.

744
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: That was the end of the twenty twenty season.

745
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that.

746
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: Well, now that feels like a long time ago, right,

747
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: January third, twenty twenty one, does?

748
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 3: It's well over three years. He's played twelve games in

749
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: that timeframe.

750
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: Oh, since that finale, he's played twelve games, not just

751
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: two years in Cleveland. Set out the entire twenty one season, Yeah,

752
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 2: set out eleven games, twelve two total, twelve games total

753
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: since that game against the Titans.

754
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: Well, you could look at it. Well, there's not a

755
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: lot of mileage on him there. But quarterback, you gotta

756
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: play the position. You gotta air it out, you gotta

757
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: get in rhythm. And you're not even throwing yet, right,

758
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: you gotta throw soon, apparently soon.

759
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: But not not yet.

760
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 2: So Yeah, twenty one no games, six games last year,

761
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 2: six games in twenty twenty two.

762
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 3: Now he was aiding four of those games. Was ating

763
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: four those games?

764
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: So there's that.

765
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 2: And obviously he finished with that game against the Ravens.

766
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: But in those twelve games, he's throwing fourteen touchdowns and

767
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: nine interceptions.

768
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: I know some people would be like, well, you know, okay.

769
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: You're paying him a fully guaranteed contract of fifty million

770
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: per year.

771
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 3: That's not fourteen touchdowns.

772
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: You're paying him to be the guy that won the

773
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: game against Buffalo here in the playoffs. That's by himself

774
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: almost almost yeah, I mean made plays with people on

775
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: his back, made the amazing spin move play. You're paying

776
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: him for that. That's why you're paying them that kind

777
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: of money, right, so he could do that magical stuff

778
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: for you, not just be okay, all right. More likely

779
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: to have belief we want, all right. More likely to

780
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: have a better season Atlanta now it improved Atlanta or

781
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: the Jets, who are also improving themselves and get Aaron

782
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers back, and they also played the Texans at the

783
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: Meadowlands at some point in the twenty twenty four campaign.

784
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: More likely to have a better season. I bring them

785
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: up together because the Jets have a new quarterback, because

786
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers, right, and Kirk Cousins is in Atlanta,

787
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: and they both won seven games last year, so they're

788
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: not far from being able to elevate.

789
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: Who's gonna have a better year. I think the higher

790
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 2: floor stay with me on this. I think the higher

791
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 2: floor is the Jets. I'm sorry.

792
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 3: The higher ceiling is the Jets.

793
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: Oh higher ceiling.

794
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 2: Theigh ceiling is the Jets because that defense. Yeah, and

795
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 2: if Rogers, I think higher ceiling is the Jets. I

796
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 2: think they showed last year. If there's no Rogers, they're

797
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 2: six seven win team. I think with the Falcons there's

798
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 2: a higher floor but lower ceiling. So I feel like

799
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 2: the gap between what the Jets could do. I think

800
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: the Jets without Rogers it's a five to six win team.

801
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 2: With Rogers, coulda be a ten eleven team. I think

802
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 2: with or without Cousins, that team in Atlanta can win

803
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 2: nine games, eight games either way, so I think, And

804
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 2: it just kind of depends when you go to Vegas,

805
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 2: are you a little bit more You're gonna hit on

806
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: sixteen or you're not gonna hit on sixteen. Kirk Cousins

807
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 2: probably wouldn't hit on sixteen. He's probably sitting on sixteen.

808
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll with the Jets.

809
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 2: I was just looking at the Jets trying to figure

810
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: out my mock draft, what I was gonna do and

811
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 2: where I was gonna go. They just added Mike Williams.

812
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 2: They've added three key pieces to the offensive line. Now

813
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 2: they're vets. They've been around a little bit. Tyron Smith

814
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 2: from Dallas, Morgan Moses or two tackles they've been around.

815
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: They're crafty, but they're older. That often doesn't go well right.

816
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: John Simpson they added from the Ravens at guard.

817
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: That's you know.

818
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 2: The other two guys are draft picks that have done well,

819
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 2: they just can't stay healthy.

820
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 3: I and Number ten gave the Jets Rock Bowers.

821
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 2: So now if you add Rock Bowers to Garrett Wilson

822
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 2: Mike Williams, I hate that you did that with Rogers

823
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 2: in a healthy breeze hall for the whole year. That

824
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 2: gets kind of nasty. That could be Wow, I'm gonna

825
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: go Jets. I'm gonna go Jets. You knew I was.

826
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 2: I don't say a fan of the Falcons.

827
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 3: I was.

828
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: I was worried about what the Falcons could do. Everybody

829
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 2: not named Desmond Ritter Kirk Cousins does ultimately scare me.

830
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 2: But because he's got all these weapons. He's solid though,

831
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 2: he's solid. And you have Darnel Mooney. Now you have

832
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 2: Rondell Moore to go with Drake London. You always have Bajon,

833
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: you have Kyle Pitts. You got an offense and offensive

834
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: line is pretty good. And I think the defense will

835
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: get a little bit better the more they play together

836
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 2: because a lot of guys back on that defense, so

837
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 2: they haven't made a ton of changes defensively. They got

838
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: the eighth pick.

839
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 4: In the draft.

840
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 2: We'll see what they're able to do with that. I

841
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: had them taking Dallas Turner from Alabama. You put him

842
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 2: in that mix.

843
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: Oooh boy.

844
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 2: It guess kind of interesting what they could do. So

845
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: I still think it's the Jets. I think over all,

846
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: the defense a little bit better. And I'm just gonna

847
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: roll the dice and hit on sixteen that Rogers stays

848
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 2: healthy for the Jets.

849
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get to the next one here. More likely

850
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: to happen, all right, More likely to win the NFC East.

851
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: Philly or Dallas. Texans play at Dallas this year, don't

852
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: know when. Not Philly. It's just the only team playing

853
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 1: for the NFC East. But I thought I'd bring them

854
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: up because it's them who's gonna win it. Are the

855
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 1: Eagles problems over?

856
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 3: I don't.

857
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 2: I don't think the Eagles problems are over from this standpoint.

858
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 2: When you're having problems the way they were having problems,

859
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 2: was it a result of what they did or didn't

860
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: have on the field, or what they did or didn't

861
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 2: have between their ears.

862
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 3: Because I feel like that's where that that team was

863
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 3: lost last year.

864
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: Now take out Jason Kelce, Now take out Fleck Fetcher Cox.

865
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: Arguably you're two best leaders on both sides of the ball.

866
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: And the potential trade of Hassan Reddick and aging corners

867
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: in Darius Slay and James Bradberry. I don't know that

868
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 2: Barkley can cover up all that. And as much as

869
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: I love Jalen Hurts and you know I love Jalen,

870
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: did he show us last year? Like I don't know,

871
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: man without Stichen, maybe he's not the same quarterback.

872
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: So we'll see. Look, that's it's a really good football.

873
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 3: But but what the Cowboys did or didn't do in

874
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 3: free agency, didn't do anything. Got rid of Michael Gallup,

875
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 3: Blayton vander Esh had to retire.

876
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 2: They didn't really add to their team now that they

877
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 2: obviously won the draft, but they didn't really add their team.

878
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 3: They didn't hit on the draft last year, Mazie Smith.

879
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 2: So, and I think if things start going sour with

880
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy, now see a lame duck coach.

881
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 3: How tricky is that?

882
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 5: Now?

883
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 3: That could be the case in Philly too with Nick Sirianni.

884
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: So they're gonna go Eagles just because I trust the

885
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 2: Eagles more than I do the Cowboys, so that that's

886
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 2: just the only thing that I can separate it with.

887
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 2: So I trust the Eagles to be just a titch

888
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 2: ahead if the Giants. I've read this rumor about the

889
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: Giants trading up for a quarterback. Yeah, and potentially the

890
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: guy they like is JJ McCarthy. That could get kind

891
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 2: of interesting because I think the Giants are a team

892
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 2: to definitely watch with what they were able to do

893
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: with Brian Brian Burns. Obviously, Dexter Lawrence is still there.

894
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: Now you put it in guy J. J. McCarthy can

895
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 2: make some plays. I know we were Oh it's just

896
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 2: another flavor of Daniel Jones. No no, no, no, no no. I

897
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: studied those quarterbacks coming out of college they're nowhere near

898
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 2: one another other than the fact they are both athletic

899
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: and can run those who are nowhere near one another.

900
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 3: When it comes to play in apposition.

901
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: I am going to audible here and do another more

902
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: likely more likely to be a bust Among these quarters, Caleb, Williams,

903
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels JJ McCarthy or Drake may pick the

904
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: bust more likely to be a bust. Does it even

905
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: mean you necessarily think, yeah, yeah, yeah, this guy's going

906
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: to be a bust, but you're saying this is the

907
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: likeliest bust. I know you hate this, but I've got

908
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: I got a hot take for you.

909
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 3: I like these guys, I do, I don't.

910
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 2: Caleb is the one I do think can have the

911
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 2: ultimate success the other guys, I feel like, getting in

912
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: the right situation, it'll be pretty good. Dan aar Losky.

913
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 2: He started comparing jayde and Daniels A C. J. Stroud

914
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 2: and I just wanted to like, walk the bristol and

915
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 2: slap Dan. I like Dan, but sometimes like, what come

916
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 2: on Dan? That studio no now what all of them have.

917
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 2: What all of them have and I like is the

918
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 2: fact that when things break down, they could take off

919
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: and make something happen with their legs and be successful

920
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 2: all of them. All four of those guys you just

921
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: asked me about, they could all be successful with their legs.

922
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: Teams aren't gonna design too much stuff for them to

923
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 2: run though, no, whereas the Bears had to design stuff

924
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 2: for justin fields right, or he was just gonna be

925
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: a game manager.

926
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: That want to because he's so dynamic as a runner.

927
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 2: I think the biggest bust out of that group, or

928
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 2: the one for the potential bust out of that group,

929
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: it really is the one that goes to the wrong spot,

930
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 2: which I know sounds weird, but we've seen so many

931
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that you feel good about then they end up Man,

932
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: they ended up with a crappy offensive line, five different

933
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator changes, et cetera.

934
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm gonna go Drake May.

935
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I'm gonna go with Drake May. That's what

936
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 2: I thought, And I don't I don't love that because

937
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 2: I like Drake Man. In fact, I just tweeted my

938
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 2: where you can find him in the Harris one hundred.

939
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 2: But I feel like there are some holes in his

940
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 2: game that he is going to take a lot of

941
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 2: risks that aren't always calculated risks.

942
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 3: They're just risk because he's kind of a gamble Listen.

943
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: I don't know anything that you know, but I just

944
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: watch highlights. His highlights to me are unimpressive. The way

945
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: he throws the ball, the way it looks compared to

946
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: some of the other guys. He might be great. I

947
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: don't know. And look, often they get to the stage

948
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: and they do well. The light goes on and he's wonderful.

949
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: He's good practice player. I don't know, but that would

950
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: be my opin.

951
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 2: Okay, so let me ask you this. I'm I'm ask

952
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: you that same question, all right. Where is a quarterback

953
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 2: more likely to bust? Chicago, New England, Washington, Giants, Minnesota?

954
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: Is it Alex Van Pelt in New England? Yes, because that.

955
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 3: Does that's the one that standing out factor.

956
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 1: I think the likeliest bust place. I would say New England.

957
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 3: I think New England too, Yeah, I think New England.

958
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: That's being against him, and I just think it's a

959
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: tough situation.

960
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 6: That's why.

961
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 3: That's why I had the New England Patriots trading down

962
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 3: from three to six. Not take you in quarterback. That's

963
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 3: gonna be a rough stick. But wait, till you see

964
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 3: what happens later in the draft.

965
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: Wait till you see the season ticket member erosion in Foxborough.

966
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: They got cha, Kobe Brissett. Here's the thing.

967
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 2: A lot of times when you do that, you're like, well,

968
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 2: you know, if we just flame out, we'll just go

969
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 2: get a quarterback.

970
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, in twenty twenty five, it's not a slam dunk.

971
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 3: It's not a slam dunk in twenty.

972
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: Five coming up. Drew Dougherty checks in a quick check

973
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: in with Jalen Petrie here on Texans All Access. We

974
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,200

975
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: right to it. Drew Doherty with a check in at

Speaker 4: Oh, it's wonderful, man.

980
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 10: All the things that we've done, you know, to put

981
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 10: ourselves in a position that we're in is exciting. But

982
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,919
Speaker 10: next chapter is up, and the work is gonna take

983
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 10: care of the next chapter, so we got to put

984
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 10: it in that first, and I think.

985
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:18,640

00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 8: Going out around town. What's it like now versus maybe

1054
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 8: the summer year ago, this time two years ago as

1055
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 8: a Texan?

1056
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, I would say it's definitely different. You know, you

1057
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 10: walk in places and people definitely recognize you. They're showing

1058
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 10: love and you know, it's a different feeling in the city.

1059
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:01,959
Speaker 10: We want to just keep that going and do even

1060
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 10: more for the city, you know, continue to help out

1061
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 10: on and off the field, and continue to provide hope

1062
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 10: for those outside of the facility.

1063
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 8: All right, what's next for the secondary as a whole?

1064
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 6: More turnovers.

1065
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 10: I think that's the biggest thing that we can help

1066
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 10: out with. And just more swagger and more confidence. You know,

1067

1069
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,719
