6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 3: we had five guys that stepped into studio with Mark

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: and I when on media it is last Monday, and

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: had a connection to the city of Houston or Greater Houston,

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 3: Tascas Seeda, Travis High School in Fort Ben Distric, fort

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 3: Ben Marshall, Jacob Martin, he got a little Houston credit

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: because he's got family in the Houston area and he's

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 3: boomerang boomeranging the right way, saying that he's a boomerang

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 3: back to Houston.

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: So I felt like that was good.

15
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: In Kendll Sheffield, I said for Fort Ben Marshall, so

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 3: Steven Sims from Travis, that was fun. Austin Dekilos from

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: cy Fair. So we had Houston Night last night. Tonight

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 3: is all about the Old Line, and in particular the

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: interior Old Line. This first segment is going to be

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: a couple of players that are new to the city

21
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: of Houston. Second segment will be an interier off it's

22
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: a lot I'm in that was here in Houston last

23
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: year and then I ran out offensive line. And so

24
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna have in the lab with my man Drew

25
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: Doherty because we talked about something that we actually did

26
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: a couple.

27
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: Of years ago that was really really fun.

28
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: So I want you to go back and take a read,

29
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 3: take a listen to what we did. It was a

30
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: really interesting and fun kind of diving down deep in

31
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: the lab doorking out sort of exercise.

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: So hopefully you'll like that. Now it is offensive Lineman Night.

33
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: So we're gonna start off with two players in this

34
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: first segment that are new and got here in different ways,

35
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 3: one via the draft and one via free agency. So

36
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: we'll start with our second round draft pick, that's Juice.

37
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: Scrugs.

38
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: Had a good time meeting Juice, getting to learn his story.

39
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 3: Mail was smiling his face almost twenty four to seven.

40
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: I can understand why, after what he's been through at

41
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: Penn State to get where he is as the sixty

42
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: second pick in the draft. I believe it was Jew

43
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 3: Scrugs with Mark myself right here to kick off Texans

44
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: all Access and offensive lineman Knight from Pitt.

45
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 4: State let's go Scrugs joining us on Texans Radio.

46
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: All right, So how's it been so far?

47
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: Welcome, Welcome to the studio where you will be a

48
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: frequent visitor.

49
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 5: I appreciate it. Things have been great. Just getting adjusted

50
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 5: to Houston and just happy to be here.

51
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I know what the answer is gonna be. But

52
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 3: what's been the biggest adjustment to Houston outside of football?

53
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: What's been the biggest adjustment to Houston being down here?

54
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: The heat?

55
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

56
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, the heat, by it. I've not been only been

57
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 5: to Texas once. Really, I went to Dallas. We had

58
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 5: the Cotton Bowl. All right, pay Memphis, yeh, play Memphis.

59
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 5: I didn't even play that game. So I don't even

60
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 5: know what he's about, but definitely that he's different. It's different.

61
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 5: Wait till training case.

62
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard. I've heard.

63
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 3: Just listen all the water you have, you drink that

64
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: as much as you possibly can.

65
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: I got you, and don't worry.

66
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: What the scale says at the end of practice. You

67
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: can get it back.

68
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 3: When you're in Houston, but not knowing much about Texas,

69
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: when you are drafted by the Texans, what are you

70
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: thinking about at that point? What do you think about

71
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: when you got that call man going to Houston, Like,

72
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: wait a second, Houston, what.

73
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: Was that like?

74
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 5: First, Foremerst, I was just thinking, God, it was just

75
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 5: a dream come true. But yeah, when I when I

76
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 5: got the call from Houston, I was like, oh, Houston,

77
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 5: Like I just heard great things about the city, but

78
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 5: I don't I didn't know much. So definitely it was

79
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 5: like a kind of like a shock, to be honest.

80
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 5: And the first thing I took. People told me was

81
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 5: to have great food, and I was hooked. That's that's

82
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 5: that was. That was a great place to start.

83
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Juice Scruggs drawing us when you're playing center or guard, like,

84
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: what's the difference for you as a rookie, especially in

85
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: the system, you're right next to it, but it's a

86
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: different position.

87
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, definitely, just at center, you just got a

88
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 5: lot more things to do, just got to be more vocal,

89
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 5: you gotta get everybody on the same page. And just

90
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 5: at guard, it really it's it's kind of like the

91
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: same thing for real, because at guard you have to

92
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 5: know like where the idea is stuff too, So it

93
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 5: makes it easier playing guard after you play center because

94
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 5: you already know like what's going the calls are going

95
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 5: to happen. So it's kind of it's it's like a

96
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 5: little adjustment, but it's kind of like the same position almost.

97
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: But the speed of the lineman, the linean in your face. Yeah,

98
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: you're not wearing pads right now, you're thinking, oh boy,

99
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: in pads, this is going to be a little bit different.

100
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that we get real physical.

101
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: Debsolutely definitely, definitely the speed. Uh, get offs.

102
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 5: Everybody has a great get off In college, you you know,

103
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 5: some guys have good get offs and some guys are

104
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 5: just like why they're out here on the field, But

105
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 5: here everybody has.

106
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: Everybody's here for a reason for sure.

107
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like there's one game in particular I

108
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 3: may not be a great memory because you didn't win it,

109
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: but I felt like the way you performed against Michigan,

110
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 3: against Mazzie Smith was a big reason why you're sitting

111
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: here today. Because that guy does have NFL potential. He

112
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: does go in the first round. He went to the

113
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys. You went against him and you not only

114
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 3: held your own, you're a number of times where you

115
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: went one on one and took his lunch money. In

116
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 3: some sense, did you kind of fuel your momentum growing

117
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: throughout last year that hey man, i feel like I'm

118
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,119
Speaker 3: getting better and better. I'm going against the best guys

119
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: and I'm having success. Did you kind of see this

120
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: happening that you could end up being a high Day two.

121
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 5: Pick like you were? Absolutely? Definitely. I never doubted myself.

122
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 5: I always believed in myself. It was a lot of

123
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 5: you know, I tried not to look, but it's hard.

124
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: You know.

125
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 5: You see them, the reports and the projections and stuff,

126
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 5: and I was like, oh man, but it was just

127
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 5: food to the fire that people were just raising me

128
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 5: that low. And I was like, Okay, I have a

129
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 5: lot of work to do. But definitely, as the season

130
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 5: went on, I definitely felt myself getting better and better.

131
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 5: Like and I'll say probably after that Michigan game, things

132
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 5: were just slowed down. I don't know what it was,

133
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 5: but it was just like the game just slowed down incredibly,

134
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: and I was just like, oh, yeah, I think, yeah,

135
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 5: I think.

136
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: This is the year.

137
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, So Juice A thousand years ago. I

138
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 4: used to work in State College, Pennsylvania in radio. So

139
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 4: what will you miss the most about that area?

140
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Got to be the stadium? Yeah, Beaver man, that stadium

141
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: is I.

142
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 5: Don't like any other place I've been. Uh, when it's

143
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 5: when it's packed, it's different. But even like when we

144
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 5: would have like spring practices or like training camp practices

145
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 5: in the stadium and it's empty, it gives you goosebumps.

146
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 5: To be honest with you, and I think that's definitely

147
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 5: one of my miss the most.

148
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 3: Your your story is pretty amazing when you start diving

149
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: into it. You know, the car accident, which I don't

150
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: know if you like talking about it or not, just

151
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 3: but it is something that you had to overcome that adversity.

152
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: So it's it's physical, but it's also mental things you

153
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: had to get over to to that car accident to

154
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 3: get to where you are now. What was kind of

155
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 3: the biggest thing that A you found out about yourself

156
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 3: during that time frame, but also b what helped you

157
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: get through that period to get where you are now

158
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: as well?

159
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: Uh?

160
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say what I found out about myself

161
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 5: was definitely, uh, that I'm resilient.

162
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: Definitely going through something like that. It wasn't easy.

163
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 5: It was hard, for sure, but it just it showed

164
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 5: me that you know, no matter what's thrown at you,

165
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 5: you can handle it and you can overcome it. And

166
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 5: it was really just it's my family, my girlfriend and

167
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 5: my brother's at Penn State. That got me through that

168
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 5: time because it was definitely a low point in my life.

169
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

170
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 4: Sure, I'm still on the state college thing. And I

171
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: can't believe you didn't say the creamery, right, I mean.

172
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: That's what everybody said, right, I mean me freshman year,

173
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 5: I went there a lot, but after that I got serious,

174
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 5: you know, it started taking a little bit more serious.

175
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Sports science department, department.

176
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 5: Most definitely, So the creamery is definitely something I missed,

177
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 5: But I trying to stay as far as possible from

178
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 5: there because it can get dangerous there.

179
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: The bucket listing from me.

180
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: Mark's had a chance to do it because he called

181
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: Miami Hurricanes game. So he called a game in the

182
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: Rose Bowl with the Kaynes winning NAS championship. I've never

183
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: been there. I wanted to go. But you played your

184
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: last game in the Rose Ball against Utah. How special

185
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: moment was that for you and the seniors? I know

186
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: Sean Clifford, they you know, talked a lot about Sean

187
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: and that was his last game, but it was also

188
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: yours as well.

189
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: What was that like playing your last game in the

190
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: Rose Ball.

191
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: It was amazing. It was definitely like you couldn't rid

192
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: a better story.

193
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 5: Uh, just as I grew up, you know, just seeing

194
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 5: all those big games in the Rose Bowl and actually

195
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 5: the I watched the Saquan when they faced USC and

196
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 5: that was a heartbreaker loss. But just being in that stadium,

197
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 5: especially my last game, which I didn't I didn't know.

198
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: At the time.

199
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, but just to have that, have that, have that

200
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 5: my last game there in that asmosphere, it was unbelievable.

201
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 5: And that was my first time in California too, really,

202
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 5: so yeah, it was it was just all like a

203
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 5: dream come true.

204
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 4: To be honest, all right, Erie Pennsylvania. Give me something

205
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 4: you love about Erie that people listening might be able

206
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 4: to gravitate toward.

207
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it makes them want to visit Erie, Pennsylvan.

208
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Prescal, the beaches there's like, yeah, don't don't

209
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 5: miss I could be wrong, don't don't quote me on this,

210
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 5: but I believe there's twelve eleven or twelve beaches at

211
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 5: Prescal and you can just drive And.

212
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: That's nice because when I was growing up, Lake Erie

213
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 4: didn't have the greatest rep so Lake is in much

214
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 4: better shape now.

215
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, definitely if you're in Erie, go to Prescal,

216
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 5: especially in the summer time. I wouldn't say go to

217
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 5: Erie during the winter time.

218
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.

219
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

220
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: I asked that question about the rose Ball because that's

221
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 3: a bucket list item from me, and unless they moved

222
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl there or I end up at U

223
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 3: c l A, which I don't see it happening. Uh,

224
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: probably not gonna happen. I have to go to the

225
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: rose Ball as a fan at some point. So maybe

226
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: that's down the road on a New Year's Day in

227
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 3: the middle.

228
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: Of the week. Baby, that's where I can get out

229
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: there and get back.

230
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 3: I don't know either way. Point being, rose Ball is

231
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: always up bucket list item for.

232
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: Yours, truly, all right.

233
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: Guy to played it Wisconsin and ended up playing in

234
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: a rose Bowl was Michael Dieter. Throughout OTA's and mini camp,

235
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: those four weeks of practice we got to see I

236
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: felt like Deeter day after day, like, oh okay, he's

237
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: with this group. He's now with this group. Oh boy,

238
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 3: he's now with the ones. Now he's running with the ones.

239
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 3: Michael Dieter, I think is going to play a very

240
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: important role in fact, when I did an article for

241
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 3: Houston Texas dot Com on the ultimate level players, I'm

242
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: most intrigued about going into training camp for a myriad

243
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: of reasons. Michael Dieter is one of those. If I

244
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 3: got a feeling he's gonna play a.

245
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Pretty big role.

246
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: And I'll say this about him, Damn, he's big and

247
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: not like he's three point fifty, that kind of thing.

248
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: I shook his hand, his hand in golf. Mine.

249
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: My hands are like size ten and a quarter or

250
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 3: ten and a half. The pretty massive hands he swallowed

251
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 3: My hands love an interior line with some grip strength,

252
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: that is Michael Dieter.

253
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: And he joins us right now.

254
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: All right, Michael Dieter joining us on Texans Radio. All right,

255
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 4: tell us about this soul line, Michael, Like, how has

256
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 4: it been fitting into this system?

257
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: How it differs from what you were doing last year?

258
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 6: The Owen's great. There's a lot of talent. There's a

259
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 6: really good mix of you know, vets who've been there,

260
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 6: played a lot of football, great leaders, and then young

261
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 6: town and then guys in between, and then scheme wise,

262
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 6: it's it's definitely similar to what I was doing last

263
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 6: year in Miami. But it's always got a little differences

264
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 6: here and there, but it's really good. It's a great

265
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 6: scheme for an alignment for every position. Really, it's a

266
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 6: scheme where guys are cutting it loose, playing fast, just

267
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 6: trusting what they see and trusting your talent really and

268
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 6: have the ability to go make plays at receiver, timing

269
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 6: all that stuff. It's a really fun offense. It can

270
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 6: be super explosive and super consistent.

271
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: So, Michael, there are people that will say, ah, there's

272
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: not a whole lot of difference in guard and center,

273
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 3: and it come on, it's like one spot three feet

274
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: one way or the other.

275
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: But there really is, is there not? You've played, you've

276
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: played both. Yeah, they are they truly different.

277
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: I mean, sure there's some similarities, but are they that

278
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: different when you're playing both, Like, for you, center or guard,

279
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: you have a preference. How do you look at playing

280
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: those two positions both of them? They definitely are similar.

281
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 3: I mean there's a ton of similarities, but there's a

282
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: lot of differences.

283
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 6: Definitely. Mentally, center, you just got to be the vocal one. Yeah,

284
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 6: you got to be the one to get everything ironed out,

285
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 6: make sure everyone's on the same page. And sometimes hanging

286
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 6: out on defense. You don't even have a guy or

287
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 6: to hop of you, and it could be a little

288
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 6: physically easier that day, but you're helping your guards who

289
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 6: have crazy matchups with really good three texts, all that stuff,

290
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 6: and then guard. It's mentally not as much because you're

291
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 6: not saying as much, but obviously as it's stuff. But

292
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 6: it's not much different. I mean it's good either way.

293
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 6: I like to play both of them guards, just a

294
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 6: little more space, a little more athleticism, i'd say, out

295
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 6: of the guys you see, but either one's fine with me.

296
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 4: They're both fun Michael Dieter joining us. So you're in

297
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 4: Miami with Mike McDaniel, right, who actually was here.

298
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're aware of.

299
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: That, you probably are at one point he was here

300
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: as a quality control level coach. And obviously Demico Ryan's

301
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: played here and they were together in San Francisco. So

302
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: comparing contrast so far Michael McDaniel and Demiico Ryan's head.

303
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 6: Well, I mean they both bring good energy, which is

304
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 6: what you want in a head coach. They're both funny,

305
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 6: obviously in different ways. Tomiko's funny in his way, Mike's

306
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 6: funny in his way, which is great for bringing in

307
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 6: a locker room together and getting guys to buy in.

308
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 6: And it's been good to see his personality. Obviously it's

309
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 6: way different than Mike's, but I mean he brings good energy.

310
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 6: He's the team meetings are are super about the players

311
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 6: and what you're doing well right and if it's something

312
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 6: that you can clean up, the way he brings it

313
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 6: to your attention is super productive. You know, like, here's

314
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 6: why this needs cleaned up, and he'll show you what

315
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 6: works and why it works technique wise, stuff like that,

316
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 6: which is beautiful to get from a head coach instead

317
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 6: of always maybe like a berating or something like that.

318
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 6: Just bringing guys along and making sure that they know

319
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 6: it's important and they know you know you're working to

320
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 6: get it right. But the energy they're having fun, that's

321
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 6: all there, which is it's fun to see. It's fun

322
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 6: to be a part of.

323
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: Okay, from you're from Ohio, you got to Wisconsin as

324
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,479
Speaker 3: fast as you could.

325
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: Then you go to Miami.

326
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: What kind of culture shock is it to go from Madison,

327
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 3: Wisconsin down to South Florida South Beach in Miami.

328
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 6: I was so lost when I got down there. I

329
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 6: couldn't I could barely drive around. I'd get lost. I

330
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 6: thought it was a culture shock. Going from Curtis, Ohio

331
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 6: to Madison. I was like, Wow, this is big city living. Yeah, yeah,

332
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 6: Madison's crazy. I got to South Florida, I was like,

333
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 6: Madison is tiny, Like I didn't know anything at all.

334
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 6: I couldn't even interact with people. Know one would talk

335
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 6: to me. They weren't as friendly. I was so confused

336
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 6: at first, but I got to like it over the years.

337
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 6: It just took a little time.

338
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so here's another heat question. Because we've talked to

339
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 4: a number of guys South Florida heat humidity versus Houston

340
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 4: heat and humidity.

341
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 6: I was convinced it wasn't gonna be any worse here,

342
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 6: and it definitely is. I think it's because it's gotta

343
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 6: be the wind, Like there's less win. Yeah, maybe you're

344
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 6: not close to the ocean. I don't know.

345
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 4: See people in Houston think there is win and there

346
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 4: is wind compared to Dallas, right, But Miami, you're on

347
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: the coast, you're closer to it. Yeah, closer to an

348
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 4: ocean anyway, for sure, instead of the golf.

349
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

350
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: I don't know about that. But that being said, why Houston?

351
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 3: What made Houston the right opportunity for you?

352
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 6: I think Demico is a big part of it. Coming

353
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 6: from San Francisco, being a former player, and then obviously

354
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 6: online wise, it was an opportunity to come in and

355
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 6: maybe compete at center, depth of guard all that stuff.

356
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 6: It was good. But when you're signing a free agency,

357
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 6: you want to make sure you're going to be happy

358
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 6: and compete as well. It's not all like it can't

359
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 6: always be about the opportunity to play, which is obviously important,

360
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 6: But are you going to compete? Is it going to

361
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 6: be a good locker room?

362
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: Right?

363
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 6: And when I took my visit and after talking to

364
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 6: him and just kind of knowing a former player and

365
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 6: someone who's been in a cool staff to begin with,

366
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 6: is probably gonna be a fun fit and gonna be

367
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 6: a good coach and make me a better player, and

368
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 6: it'll be a good locker room to be a part of.

369
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I've been wondering about this. Yeah, Sid, you came

370
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: on a visit, right, Do you remember when you came?

371
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: She was or better yet?

372
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: I mid March?

373
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: So is Rodeo here?

374
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 6: It just the day It ended the day aftercause they're

375
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 6: picking up dirt.

376
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Okay, I've just been curious about.

377
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: This because when Rodeo takes over the building, which it

378
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 3: doesn't march, it's it's it's unique. And I've always wondered

379
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: how prospective free agents when they walk in and they're like, man,

380
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: why is that so dusty? What's that? Why am I

381
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: hearing music? And you look out in the bowl and there's,

382
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 3: you know, a concertence. So I'm always curious about how

383
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 3: the Rodeo kind of plays in any way, shape or form.

384
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: Because Devin Singletary said it too. Oh yeah, I came

385
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 3: on a visit and I got a good vibe from it.

386
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: So I'm like, oh wait a second, was he here

387
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: for rodeo?

388
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 6: So just clean it all up. I was kind of

389
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 6: sad actually they were telling me all about it. It sounds

390
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 6: like a blast.

391
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you you'll if you like to eat he likes

392
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: music and watch some Rodeo events. Yeah, it's a pretty

393
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: good event.

394
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: But you did get to see graduations galore.

395
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 6: There's like a new graduation every day.

396
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's convenient for that, all right. Michael, thanks

00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,080

00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 3: Scott just tremendous on the mic, and I thought he's

418
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 3: very honest and forthright with all of his comments here.

419
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 3: As Mark and I caught up with him during media days,

420
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 3: we talked about anything and everything as it pertained to

421
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: last year this year, how he fits all that kind

422
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: of stuff. Good stuff here from Scott Quaisinberry.

423
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 4: You're the quarterback of the offensive line, Scott, and I

424
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 4: know this is a different system, So how's that going

425
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 4: that adjustment for you?

426
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Really? Well, you know, I really enjoy the system a lot.

427
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 7: It's a system I've admired for a really long time,

428
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 7: a system that I thought I've you know, been a

429
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 7: really good fit in for pretty much since I started,

430
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 7: you know, watching football and thinking, you know, being in

431
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 7: the NFL as an option, the Shanahan system. Guys like

432
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 7: Alex Mack, guys that I just you know, kind of

433
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 7: have like watched and been like I can I can

434
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 7: do that, I can you know, kind of take things

435
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 7: of his game, put it in my toolbox and like that.

436
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 7: And now just being in the system, you can see why.

437
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 7: But it really is it fits everybody. It's which is great.

438
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,479
Speaker 7: You know, from top to bottom, we've all kind of

439
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 7: we're buying into this to the philosophy, and you know,

440
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 7: within our own room we're kind of doing the same thing.

441
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: We're learning the ins and.

442
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 7: Outs and the way guys work strass and pop and

443
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 7: how they what makes them click, and we're just trying

444
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 7: to mesh right now, which I think is gonna be

445
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 7: a really good thing for us.

446
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 3: So along those lines, it is gonna be the third

447
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: year because obviously in twenty one you're with the Chargers

448
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 3: two year here, but then coaching change happens, so now

449
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 3: you're on your third different offensive line coaching group and

450
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 3: you're learning new verbage as you go through all that. Scott,

451
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 3: how how tough is that to Okay, George Warhop wanted this,

452
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: Strauss Pop want this?

453
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: The verbage says.

454
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: This, Like, how do is kind of taking all of

455
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: that in? And how important is that to do that

456
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 3: through too? OTA's in mini camp, get it done before

457
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 3: you start draining camp.

458
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 7: Well, I think really big part of it is like

459
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 7: the foundation is you know, like the you run the

460
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 7: same place, everyone runs the same place. It's how how

461
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 7: can we manipulate these plays to make them ours?

462
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: Right?

463
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 7: And I think that's kind of how we uh, how

464
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 7: we're like what we're learning right now right And I

465
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 7: think as far as the verbage goes, that's just kind

466
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 7: of oh hey, like we'll be in meetings and be like, hey,

467
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 7: this was this play for us last year, which but

468
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 7: it's this this year. It's this this year, This was

469
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 7: this term last year, but it's this this year. And

470
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 7: that way you can kind of go back and look

471
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 7: through your notes and be like, oh, you know, like

472
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 7: a whatever you know won't make any sense to you,

473
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 7: Like a three man inside isn't over this year, whereas

474
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 7: last year it was a trio or whatever.

475
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how you do it, just like looking.

476
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 7: Back at your notes and you know, studying and making

477
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 7: sure everybody's going home and doing there bad.

478
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: It makes perfect sense exactly we're talking about.

479
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 4: So we were asking Deculous about getting outshined for doing things,

480
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: and he was so hesitant to answer anything about getting fined.

481
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: Do you guys get fined for answering something about getting

482
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 4: fined among the offensive linemen? Because in ten years ago

483
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 4: guys would speak freely about getting fined?

484
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 5: Is not?

485
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: Is that a taboo subject?

486
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 7: Well, that's just Deck trying to be you know, we've

487
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 7: given him a hard time, so uh, you know, he's

488
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 7: just trying to just do right by the line. But

489
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 7: we keep it in our room, you know. But no,

490
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 7: there's no real secrets. We don't really have any secrets.

491
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 7: We there's fines. You know, late fine. You know there's

492
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 7: fines for there's big fines, they're small fines. But no,

493
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 7: there's not really anything if you were to ask me, no,

494
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 7: we haven't started the fine system this year, so.

495
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: There's amnesty right now. So you can ask you an exactly.

496
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 3: You are an interesting group, and I mean not just here,

497
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 3: but just the offensive lineman in general.

498
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: Pretty simple. Why what makes you guys?

499
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 3: There's something about the offensive line that's like intriguing. And

500
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 3: yet because I know a lot of people look and say, oh, yeah,

501
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 3: three hundred pound, but you're not. You guys are You're

502
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 3: just a unique group. What makes you guys so different

503
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 3: and unique?

504
00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 1: I don't know.

505
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 7: I honestly, I think the craziest thing is everyone in

506
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 7: the line room is completely different, right, You have guys

507
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 7: that are just all from all different walks of life,

508
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 7: which is cool.

509
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: So you get to learn.

510
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 7: And we're the biggest group, right, not in terms of mass,

511
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 7: which we are, but like in terms of numbers, we're

512
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 7: the biggest group. You know, majority of the time, you know,

513
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 7: d line sometimes gets up there, and then the defensive backs,

514
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 7: so the defensive backs usually split safeties and corners. We're

515
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 7: really the only group that is together all the time,

516
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 7: and I think that's probably part of it. So we

517
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 7: get to like, we learn a ton about each other

518
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 7: and it's it's you know, it's awesome. And like I said,

519
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 7: being from all different walks of life really helps us

520
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 7: kind of blend and mesh and become such a tight

521
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 7: knit group. And I think that's something that's really special

522
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 7: here is we do have a really really tight knit group.

523
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 7: And even with like Juice JP, Beach Killing and death

524
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 7: Ridge coming in, they've they've fit easily. And it's been

525
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 7: it's been, you know, it's been a great off season

526
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 7: so far. Excited to get this thing.

527
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 4: Sorry for real, Scott, can you tell us what David's

528
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 4: journey has meant to you and how it's influenced or

529
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 4: inspired you?

530
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: Because what twenty thirteen draft class?

531
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 8: Yeah?

532
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 4: Right, and then everything that happens to him health wise

533
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 4: eventually turns into a really solid contributor in the league.

534
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 4: And it took a while obviously with everything he had

535
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 4: to go through. But is that another lesson? Just hey, yeah,

536
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 4: stick with it.

537
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 7: I mean, it's for sure definitely that, you know, I

538
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 7: there were times where I'm sure he'll tell you the

539
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 7: same thing. There are times where I thought he was

540
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 7: probably not gonna ever lace him up again. So for

541
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 7: him to make it as far as he has is

542
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 7: you know, he's running on bonus time for sure.

543
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, like you said, he's playing great ball.

544
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 7: He played great ball in Buffalo last year, played good

545
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 7: for Tennessee. But you know, just from his story and

546
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 7: what he's gone through, being able to just kind of

547
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 7: like look back on it, you can just draw inspiration

548
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 7: from him, knowing that, like it's hot and it's humid,

549
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 7: and you know, you might have been having a bad practice,

550
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 7: but just to be out there, you're just so lucky.

551
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 7: You know, you're you're out there with the best players

552
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 7: in the world, and you know there's people that are

553
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 7: going through things that you could not ever even imagine.

554
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 7: And for us to be in the situation that we're in,

555
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 7: you know, we're just, you know, truth truly blessed to

556
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 7: be able to play a game and bring joy to

557
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 7: the city of Houston.

558
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: And yeah, all right, that was such a wonderful answer.

559
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: I hate doing this, but you're ready for some either

560
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: worst very simple, Okay, Well, mass just want to ask

561
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 3: Adar Holman, and he was like, I have no idea.

562
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, there.

563
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 7: Were two concerts that were here at Energy Stadium. No,

564
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 7: I'm gonna guess Taylor Swift and Ed Shearon. Would you

565
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 7: pick either Taylor Swift or Ed Shearon? Free tickets you

566
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 7: get to go to either Tyler Swift or Ed Shearon

567
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 7: Taylor Swift. Okay, I would say Taylor Swift. But here's

568
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 7: my thing is Ed Sharon. I have friends that have

569
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 7: seen Ed Sharon and they say it's like the greatest

570
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 7: concert you'll ever see in your entire life.

571
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: I've heard the same about too. I've heard the same

572
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: about Taylor Swift.

573
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 7: But I'm gonna pick Taylor Swift because i think just

574
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 7: seeing the spectacle of what it brings would be would

575
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 7: be fascinating.

576
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: Your bride great, yes, absolutely, Okay?

577
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:03,520

Speaker 3: emergency babysitter? Either Laramie Tons or Titus Howard elt really et.

584
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, elt Uh.

585
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 7: It's just like a like he's like a calm like

586
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 7: presence always, you know what I mean. Like he's just smooth,

587
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 7: like like the music he listens to.

588
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: You know, he just has this like calming presence about him.

589
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: Never panicked ever. I'm not saying Titus is, but I'm

590
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: just saying ELTI.

591
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 3: It's like it's a good point. You need that with

592
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 3: you with little kids.

593
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,239
Speaker 1: What do people not know about him? Is that one

594
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: of the.

595
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 7: Things everything I think Elt is like the most like

596
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 7: mysterious man in the NFL. He's like very to himself

597
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 7: and he just he just comes in and balls out.

598
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 8: Man.

599
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 4: So we noticed when he was named captain way through

600
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 4: last year and it was just this infectious kind of

601
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 4: thing going on.

602
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt the energy from it for sure, just

603
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: doing what I do. So what was that like for

604
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: you guys?

605
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 7: It was awesome, you know, to see him put into

606
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 7: that role was really cool because you know a lot

607
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 7: of the times people think captain, they think gotta be

608
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 7: like getting the team together.

609
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: Rab But like ELTI is a true example of like

610
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: by example. He goes out there.

611
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 7: He doesn't come in and never complains freaking Like I said,

612
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 7: he just balls out. And when you do that and

613
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 7: you're in the respect to your teammates like that. Man,

614
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 7: it's easy to just kind of gravitate towards his nature.

615
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 7: And it's it's really fun working with him. I mean, man,

616
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 7: it's it's awesome.

617
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: So that night that he was named captain was against Philadelphia.

618
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: So I ask you this question.

619
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: There have been rumors about uniform changes and all this.

620
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: There's a new permanent helmet, either battle Red or Liberty White.

621
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: I didn't use the current one. Yeah, I'm not saying

622
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 3: they're gonna be, but you got to pick between the

623
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 3: battle more against the Eagles or Liberty White one.

624
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: Which we've never worn battle Red. How sweet was that that?

625
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: They're sweet?

626
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: Man?

627
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: That was nice.

628
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 7: It was like the because like when you get the

629
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 7: night game in there, like the stands, like there's like

630
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 7: this ominous darkness that is brought over all of the

631
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 7: people in the stands, and then the red just popped.

632
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: So good. I'm sure the why would look great, but

633
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: I gotta go with the red. All you have just

634
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: made the decision for the entire done red. Scott says.

635
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 3: So last one, you guys did a team activity the

636
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: other day it was bowling. You get to pick a

637
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 3: team activity either stay with bowling or go karts?

638
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: Bowling or go carts? Is it indoors? Can I throw

639
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: a wild card in there? Go ahead? Paintballing? Ooh, the

640
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: Jacks did that.

641
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: There are some teams that have done that. Yeah, paint

642
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 3: Are you a big paintballer?

643
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 2: Just you like that?

644
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: Done well?

645
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 7: I mean you're no, I'm not a big paintballer, But

646
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 7: every time I go paintballing, I'm like, dang, that was

647
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 7: so much freaking fun.

648
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: It is fun. I've been once. We talked about it

649
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: for hours.

650
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 7: Depends on, like, you know, if you're playing with like

651
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 7: those pro guys that have those like tricked out like

652
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 7: paintball guns.

653
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: We had wanted rock, Yeah, exactly is that paint Yeah?

654
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 3: One time I played. The one time I played, we

655
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 3: were with one guy like that. He had paintballs in

656
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 3: these belts and things. He was pulling stuff out. I'm like,

657
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 3: I don't want to play with you want to play

658
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 3: with guys like me? Yeah, out there having fun.

659
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: That's armor piercing paintballs.

660
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 3: Signals sat down on the sidelines. I'm like, no, bro,

661
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 3: just shoot, that's all you know, that's what you're supposed

662
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 3: to do.

663
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: I will suggest that we'll put that in this suggestion.

664
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: Perfect in the suggestion by Scott. Thanks guys, appreciate it.

665
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: I love that he talked about fit in this offense

666
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 3: because I think that's really important for a player that

667
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 3: and there have been some along the way for for

668
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 3: many years for Texans that didn't fit in a particular system.

669
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 3: Next year, new coach came along and put it in

670
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 3: a new system and look you here, it actually fits. Wow,

671
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: this guy could play. Yeah, you get guy in the

672
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: right system and you never know what he can do.

673
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: And hopefully that's what it's going to be for Scott

674
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 3: quer Now we ran out offensive lignment because we had

675
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: Austin Deculus and Kenny Green last night and now we

676
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 3: got three offensive line tonight. So Drew Dori is my

677
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 3: honorary offensive lineman. We do in the lab next right

678
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: here on Texas All Axis. We got one final segment

679
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 3: this edition to Texas All Access. I'm your host, John Harris,

680
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 3: Football Analyst. Time to go in the lab with my

681
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: man Drew Doherty, and we took a look back at

682
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 3: an exercise that we did actually a couple off seasons ago,

683
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: which was a blast.

684
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: Actually draft a team of.

685
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 3: Thirty two one player from each Organization's all you get.

686
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: Now.

687
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 3: It sounds easy, like, oh, I'll get this guy next,

688
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 3: and then you start figuring out, wait a second, those

689
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: guys are from the same team. Oh boy, Then you

690
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: got to figure out, okay, which teams have very few

691
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 3: prospects that I would draft. And that's how I went

692
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: about it. So we talked about that right here on

693
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 3: in the lab.

694
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: Take a listen.

695
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 9: So I want to revisit something two years ago in March,

696
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 9: times were lean roomed here.

697
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, lean with a capital L.

698
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 9: Texas were coming off twenty twenty did not go well.

699
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 9: They didn't have a first round pick in twenty one.

700
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 9: There was lots of question marks. The stuff with Deshaan

701
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 9: Watson was right in the thick of it.

702
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 8: So it was tough. You and I didn't have a

703
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 8: whole lot to talk about.

704
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 9: That was positive, you know, we'd kind of run out

705
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 9: of bullets there and you can talk about the draft,

706
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 9: but just people don't really care as much when you're

707
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 9: not picking until what was that seventy something sixty seventy

708
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 9: sixty five five, So we had to divert and do

709
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 9: different things, and I came up with an idea that

710
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 9: I'd seen off of Twitter and somebody was somebody had

711
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 9: done it with Major League Baseball, but the premise was

712
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 9: you can pick one player, and one player only from

713
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 9: each of the Major League Baseball teams major League Baseball franchise.

714
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 8: So I think there's thirty.

715
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 9: We've got thirty two in the NFL with thirty, so

716
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 9: you can take any astro you want and put them

717
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 9: on the team. But once you take care, you can't

718
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 9: go back and take another astro. You know, take one Yankee,

719
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 9: you can take Babe Ruth, but you're not gonna come

720
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 9: back to the well and take Mickey Mantle or right

721
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 9: you'll get bar or anything.

722
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 8: So I thought, why did I do that? With my

723
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 8: pal John?

724
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 9: And you can take whoever you want in any order,

725
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 9: but you can only take one guy from one team.

726
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 9: And we came up with an all thirty two NFL

727
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 9: draft and it was awesome. You and I had a

728
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 9: great time with it. We broke it up into four

729
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 9: podcasts and spread out the segments yep, and loved it.

730
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 9: And then and I never got a chance to respond

731
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 9: to this, and it's been under it's been a burn.

732
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 9: My saddle be in my bonnet, a monkey in my

733
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 9: wrench for a while. But you and John Mark talked

734
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 9: about it on Texans All Access one night, and you

735
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 9: just said you explained who your running backs were, and

736
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 9: he's like.

737
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: Oh, those are the best to it.

738
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 8: You're gonna wait, You're gonna kill him. It's no check.

739
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 8: I'm like, what did you hear?

740
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 2: Who?

741
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: I have?

742
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 9: So I thought about it because there have been some

743
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 9: fun things that have happened and people have chimed in about,

744
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 9: like Jim Mersey is what made me think of this.

745
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 9: He just, for some reason, after the Jim Brown death,

746
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 9: he gave his top five players of all time.

747
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 8: And he didn't have Peyton Manning on it.

748
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, and then he went back and amended it, but

749
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 9: he had three or four of my team that I

750
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 9: drafted on his top five.

751
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 8: And I thought about sending it to you and thinking, Jim.

752
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: Mercy, you think about that.

753
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: Mark's on my side, Jim Mersey is on yours. I

754
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 3: don't know what kind of stamp of approval that is,

755
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 3: but yeah, the the fact that he just gave out

756
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: is random top five is this kind of interesting. But yeah,

757
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 3: the fact that the fact that he forgot Peyton Manning

758
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 3: I always thought was uh was uh, intriguing in some way,

759
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 3: shape or form, and it was not one.

760
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: It was not a decision that I wanted to make

761
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: because we talked long.

762
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 3: We talked long, hard about this about the Colts, because obviously,

763
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 3: franchises have been in different locations, and you know, there

764
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 3: were the Baltimore Colts and you had so many different

765
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 3: players that you could pick from, and then you had

766
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts, which almost feels like a completely different franchise,

767
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 3: but but isn't. And I think it kind of showed

768
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: in the way we drafted. You went in the wayback

769
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 3: machine and you drafted Jim Parker of the Baltimore Colts,

770
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 3: whereas I was stuck with I say stuck. I never

771
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: It's funny Peyton Maney has kind of taken out Larry

772
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: Bird's status. I hated Larry Bird growing up, hated him, hated, hated,

773
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: hated Larry.

774
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: Bird growing up.

775
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 3: But as I got older and I got to college,

776
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 3: and obviously I went to school, you know, forty five

777
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 3: minutes from Boston, I started to appreciate Larry Bird. And

778
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 3: then it got to a point where I was like, man,

779
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 3: what was I thinking? That guy's everything I want in

780
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 3: a basketball player or a player. Peyton Manning was like

781
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: that group for me, Like I couldn't stand him, couldn't

782
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: beat Florida.

783
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: You know, when he was at Tennessee and I lived.

784
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 3: You know, Jacksonville is only about an hour and fifteen

785
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 3: hour and twenty on game day, it's like two hours

786
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 3: from from Gainesville, and so I had been in that

787
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: building to see him play against against Florida and he

788
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 3: just got he just got crushed. And I always felt

789
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: like Peyton got so much more attention because he was Archie's.

790
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: Son and all that. Peyton lived up to it, there's

791
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: no there's no question.

792
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: But I think years after he left the game, I

793
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 3: think I've appreciated him more and so making the pick

794
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: of him, Peyton Manning for me is my quarterback.

795
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: I felt okay with that. I felt alright with that.

796
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 3: And obviously you could add the quarterback from from any

797
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: given teams, any given team, but I think culture are interesting.

798
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 3: Because you wanted a Baltimore guy, I went with Indianapolis guy,

799
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 3: and quarterback is the one you feel like, Okay, if

800
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 3: you have all these other positions, you have to have

801
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 3: a great quarterback, et cetera.

802
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: Our two quarterbacks ended up being Peyton Manning and John Elway.

803
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 6: Yeah.

804
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 9: I was partial. I've always been partial to Lway.

805
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the the the irony is I would never

806
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 3: have wanted a Peyton Manning, I e. A guy that

807
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 3: just stood in the pocket and just delivered. I would

808
00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 3: have wanted a guy like John Elway. But I wanted somebody.

809
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 3: I wanted my pass rush to be big time, and

810
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: so that's why I went von Miller. And so, like

811
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 3: you said, once you had a player from that particular team,

812
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 3: you couldn't take.

813
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: You couldn't take a player another player.

814
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 3: So I had Lway and von Miller up there, and

815
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 3: I was like, man, what do I do? And I

816
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 3: ended up going with von Miller? And you ended up

817
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 3: going with John Elway. It was your last pick. It

818
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 3: was your last pick, ye pick thirty two, John Elway.

819
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: Which was smart because at that point it was just

820
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 3: a matter of picking which team you wanted to go with.

821
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 3: And that was the tricky part in all this, because

822
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: I kind of played the game a little bit because

823
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 3: I couldn't figure out who to take for the Bengals.

824
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 3: I knew one guy, I knew one player, and I

825
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: went and took him. I think I took him number

826
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 3: one because I felt like, I'm not going to get

827
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 3: a quality player with his franchise. Plus, this guy's at

828
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: a priority position. I gotta go with Anthony Munhoz. I

829
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 3: got to take him number one. So it was kind

830
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 3: of some gameplay and the fact that I had a

831
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 3: priority position player, but there was no other player to pick.

832
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: So that's the way I looked at it, And so

833
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: I ended up going Muno's first, which general a lot

834
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: of people, No, you take your quarterback first. You gotta

835
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: get you like, no, you gotta kind of play the

836
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: game over this exercise. This exercise you had need to

837
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: take take that into account.

838
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 9: You needed to pinpoint franchises that had one clear cut

839
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 9: way best exactly because what I did. I took Darrell

840
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 9: Reeves from the Jets. Yes, ear, you're exactly right. The

841
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 9: Jets didn't have many.

842
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 8: Oh and Lawrence Taylor too.

843
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 9: I took him second overall, because think about name the

844
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 9: greatest giant ever. I mean, you got it, he's the great,

845
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 9: But who's the best to that?

846
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 2: For him?

847
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 3: You gotta go in the way back. Who did I

848
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 3: end up taking from the Giants? I took I took oh.

849
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 9: You know, what I took from the falconson Sanders, who's

850
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 9: the best Falcons?

851
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: Right right?

852
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 3: And that was another thing that we battled with. This

853
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 3: was okay, which guy do you kind of claim? Like

854
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 3: where does Randy Moss go? And we we both kind

855
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 3: of agreed on, you know, where we would where we

856
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 3: would place guys. Okay, I think he's more so with

857
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 3: this guy. I ended up going Michael Strahan with the

858
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 3: New York Giants. I felt like, ATS had the Giants,

859
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 3: We're gonna have some guys maybe in the in the

860
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 3: way back machine.

861
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,479
Speaker 1: You know, you might you might.

862
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: Could do a you know, Frank Gifford is kind of

863
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: a flex player or something like that. But it really

864
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: doesn't do much for this exercise because everybody like Frank Gifford.

865
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: I just remember him married Dak Lee and that's what

866
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: you go.

867
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 9: He did with this was listen, Yeah, if you if

868
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 9: you throw Frank Gifford onto this team with current guys,

869
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 9: he's gonna get squished. But it was more who they

870
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 9: were during their time and their impact. So you know,

871
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 9: I took Jim Brown very very early because I grew

872
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 9: up my dad always said that's the best football player

873
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 9: I'd ever seen. So he was my third overall pick

874
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 9: because I think about it. After him, he canna take

875
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 9: from the Browns Joe Thomas, I think.

876
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Joe Thomas ended up being who did

877
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: I take. I think I ended up taking Joe Thomas.

878
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 8: He's a good pick, but I'll take Jim Yeah.

879
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: I took Joe Thomas.

880
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

881
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 9: And then from the Bears, I took Walter Payton.

882
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 3: So and you could see him the philosophy of mind,

883
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 3: like you did a really cool thing here.

884
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: You put in parentheses.

885
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 3: You go back and do this, and we'll put it

886
00:37:58,640 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 3: up on our Twitter, so you guys can see if

887
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 3: you haven't, you put where that player was taken, and

888
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 3: you can see where we, you know, ended up taking

889
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 3: those particular players. And for me, I went o line

890
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 3: at one, two, five, six, and seven, and then Joe

891
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: Thomas was my twenty first pick. So I feel like

892
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 3: I had I had a few Browns, but I wasn't

893
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 3: totally sure about that. I think at Ozzie nw some

894
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 3: and a few others that are on they were on

895
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 3: my board, but I feel like Joe Thomas was that guy.

896
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: So I went one to five, six, seven, then twenty one,

897
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 3: twenty nine, end up going will we wrote for the

898
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 3: New Orleans Saints because I did.

899
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: I did go back and forth about whether I should.

900
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 3: I had Peyton Manning and Drew Brees like, those are

901
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 3: the two I was looking at, and I didn't really

902
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 3: like any of the other cults for the most part,

903
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 3: because I already kind of filled positions. So I was like,

904
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna go with Manning. I'll figure

905
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: out the Saints later, which sometimes in the draft isn't

906
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: the best way to go about things.

907
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: I'll draft this guy now and I'll figure it out later.

908
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 3: You can go through life with sometimes like that, but

909
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: a draft, you better plan. So I got to the Saints,

910
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh boy, But luckily the Saints had a

911
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 3: couple of players I was able to take Willie Rofe.

912
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 3: But this is a really fun exercise for sure to

913
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 3: do this. So we'll post it on our Twitter so

914
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 3: you can see it.

915
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 9: And I really like my defense because I've got Lawrence Taylor,

916
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 9: Reggie White playing games, plus Deacon Jones. Like my starting line,

917
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 9: I'd go with a five man front. I would have

918
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 9: Reggie White and Deacon Jones at the edges. In the middle,

919
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 9: i'd have men Joe Green and Bob Lily, and then

920
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 9: i'd have Lawrence Taylor just kind of playing like an

921
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 9: edge rusher, speaking around, playing games with guys. And then

922
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 9: I'd have Ray Lewis as my linebacker, linebacker, off ball linebacker.

923
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 9: And then you got a secondary of Deon Sanders, Derell Reeves,

924
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 9: night train lane, and I'd throw probably Jalen Ramsey and

925
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 9: Ronnie Lott out there.

926
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 3: So you dig Ramsey as a Jaguar, I did, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

927
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 3: my I'd like to think my front. I mean, obviously

928
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 3: there are two Texans taken and you can all guess.

929
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: Who they were.

930
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, you got what.

931
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: I got Wat and Drew got Dre.

932
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 3: And so my defensive front ended up being I took

933
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 3: Watt third overall for me my three picks, So I

934
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: went offensive line one and two, and then I knew

935
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 3: I had to get I knew I wanted.

936
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: I mean I it was water or Dre.

937
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I knew that, and I felt like, you

938
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 3: know what, I'm gonna strike early and get Watt.

939
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: So I built on the line.

940
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 3: So I went JJ Watt, Bruce Smith, von Miller on

941
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 3: the outside straight hand, you know, was an outside gut too.

942
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 3: But he could go inside too. But I also took

943
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 3: Aaron Donald with the Rams, which I always I always

944
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 3: look back and I think because you know, there was

945
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 3: that draft of Clowney, and there was always the question

946
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 3: of as Donald got to Aaron Donald's status, it was like, man,

947
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 3: what if they were to put Watt with Donald? Now

948
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 3: that never I mean, that's Revision's history. Nobody ever there

949
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 3: there are probably Oh no, I said that. I said, no,

950
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 3: you didn't know, you did not. Aaron Donald that offseason

951
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 3: rose like a phoenix. I mean he was. I don't

952
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 3: say he was coming from nowhere. He tremendous season, but

953
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 3: it was when he got the Senior Bowl where he

954
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 3: went to a completely different level and his game has

955
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 3: just continued to do that. But I always envisioned what

956
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 3: with Donald, like what would that whatever that it looked like,

957
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 3: holy cow, we can.

958
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: Wreck shop, and so I went with it. So I'd Watt,

959
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith, Michael strand, Aaron Donald.

960
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 3: I did go with Cortes Kennedy, and then off the

961
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 3: edge I had Von Miller. So my pass rush would

962
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 3: be Watt, Donald, Bruce Smith, and Von Miller, which in

963
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 3: bad with the backup of Michael Strand.

964
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: So I felt. I felt pretty good about that.

965
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 9: So with all that in mind, you can pick any player,

966
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 9: any one player from your squad that you drafted, and

967
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 9: add him to this twenty twenty three Houston Texan squad.

968
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 8: Who would it be?

969
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 3: I got three guys in mine and I I would

970
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 3: flip a three sided coin. Okay, I think it would

971
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 3: come up with Jerry Rice, But I drafted Randy Moss,

972
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 3: Jerry Rice, Julio Jones, and all three of them. I

973
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 3: could see them fitting for all particular and different reasons.

974
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 8: You could put either of any of those two, any.

975
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: Of those three.

976
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 3: So that's why I was flipping my three sided coin that,

977
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: like you said, doesn't exist, but I, in my mind,

978
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 3: I could make it exist. I think I would go

979
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 3: with Jerry Rice because he was a certified badass.

980
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: That's why. And he would help this receiver Cord. There's

981
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: no doubt about that, all right.

982
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 3: A big thanks to Drew for stopping by, to Scottie Q,

983
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,800
