1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: What's happened to everybody walking into a Monday edition of

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Texans All Access, a six twelve dot twenty twenty three

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: edition of Texans All Access, and you will know exactly.

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, why I have said that.

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm your host John Harris Football Onals alongside the voice

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: of the Texans, Mark vandmir Mark.

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: We've got a lot to do. Oh yes, we do.

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 3: We had Media Day today also in addition to the

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: Watt stuff, and Media Day is not for the regular media.

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 3: Maybe we should call it something else. This is the

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 3: day that the networks shoot. There guys flexing their arms

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 3: and that stuff of the video board too, and the

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 3: network needs well each network needs its own stuff. Yeah,

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 3: you know, they had one crew doing all of that,

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: which is sort of inside baseball stuff. And then you know,

16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: we're shooting all the video introduction, game day material, social

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 3: media stuff, and Johnny and I interviewed. I haven't counted yet,

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: but I think it's thirty players. So that's pretty cool.

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: That's it's it's very cool. It's exhausting. You don't think

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 3: about that. Thirty interviews.

21
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: Just talk and you're like thirty different players. Some are

22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: good in front of a mic, some aren't so good.

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: But man, I thought the crew that came in here

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: was was really really coat. I thought we did a

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: really good job with him. By the way, this is

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: not recency biased. I thought it was our best day

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: ever doing this. I thought the players were better than

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: ever as a group right that we interviewed, and.

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: I really I never really got tired. It was just

30
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: one after another, man, and we were doing videos, and

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: Johnny and I were doing the videos ourselves with our

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: own equipment here in the Hunday Texans Radio studio. So

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: it was very cool and a real privilege to be

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: able to do it. So I'm excited to share much

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: of it, and we're gonna share some of it tonight,

36
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: aren't we.

37
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: We are going to do that. John Gernard's going to

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: be on the show. We always have fun talking to JG.

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: He's got a.

40
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Great story of sticking with the number fifty two. And

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: if you know a free agent acquisition, it's more than

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: number fifty two, you'll appreciate that story. And it was

43
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: kind of funny because there was a lot of talk,

44
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: not today, but about a certain jersey that Kenmy Fairbairn

45
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: had the now a CJ.

46
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: Strout.

47
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talking about that, but this story

48
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: kind of went by the wayside. But it's kind of

49
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: fun once so John Grenard will share that. So we'll

50
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: have that for you a little bit later. But I

51
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: mentioned the date of six dot twelve dot twenty twenty

52
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: three for a particular reason, that reason which was brilliantly done,

53
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: because on.

54
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: Was it Thursday or Friday? I think it was Friday, right, yep.

55
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: When our social media group just tweeted a silhouette of

56
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: a Texans player and the date, and that was it.

57
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: And I thought it was perfect because it was you

58
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: had no idea what it was, and people were speculating

59
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: about a lot of different things, jerseys, helmets, could be

60
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: a new coach, new players, knew somebody what it was

61
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: was an announcement.

62
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: The ninety nine is going into the Ring of Honor.

63
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: That's right.

64
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: JJ Watt coming back home. And if you haven't seen

65
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: the videos, you need to go see them. JJ discussing

66
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: his time in Houston. How happy he's coming home. Our

67
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: man Tyler Suttar Hath put out a tremendous video recapping

68
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: JJ's career, narrated by Jim nantz All of it Mark,

69
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: we do this on Monday. Sometimes this is just going

70
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 1: to open up artist conversation. Yep, gut reaction ninety nine

71
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: coming back home October first against the Pittsburgh Steelers so

72
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: his brothers can be in the building for this. I

73
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: think this is just absolutely tremendous. JJ Watt going into

74
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: the ring of honor. I don't know how we're gonna

75
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: do it yet, because we've done him at the half

76
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: with mister McNair and with Andrey Johnson, and I don't

77
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: know if you can do it at the half with

78
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: TJ if you want TJ and Derek, presuming Derek is

79
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: still on the team, if you want them to be

80
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: with him when he's inducted the ceremony we do with

81
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: the half, that is going to eliminate them, right, They've

82
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: got to be in the locker room with the team,

83
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,559
Speaker 1: of course.

84
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: And JJ would understand that, and he would get of course.

85
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: But maybe you do a pregame. I don't know.

86
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: Maybe it's different this time. We'll see how they want

87
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: to put it together. But I'm thrilled. How could I

88
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: not be thrilled? It was so sad two years ago

89
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: plus when he left and went to go play for

90
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals. It was just the Texans going into

91
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 3: a different dimension. And I'm always optimistic and I'm always

92
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: looking at the bright side of things. You know this,

93
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: I'm the Norman Vincent Peel of sports talk radio and

94
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: sports broadcasting. But it was a different era of Texans history.

95
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: It feels like we're coming out of that era in

96
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: such a big way, just storming out of that era

97
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 3: and swarming because Dimico gets hired. Draft Day was what

98
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: it was, Draft Night, the opening night, and then the

99
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 3: rest of it, of course, and then you have this,

100
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: you have JJ Watt returning home where he belongs as

101
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: a Houston Texan immortalized. Those who want the one day

102
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: contract or are complaining about it. How could you complain

103
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: about not having a one day contract? They just I

104
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: guess both parties agreed, let's just not do it that way.

105
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: This is way more important. You get that today anyway,

106
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: you weren't gonna be present for it, and he's gonna

107
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: have a media availability, so there, you're gonna get all

108
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: that anyway. Yeah, but immortalize them in the ring of honor.

109
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: That's what matters here. And then ultimately Canton, of course.

110
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: And that's coming, so twenty I'm just I'm trying to

111
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: last season was twenty twenty two, so five years twenty

112
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Now hopefully we're making a trip up there

113
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: before that for eighty, which should happen before that. But

114
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: it's the fact that in the next five years we

115
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: can be making a couple of trips up to Canton.

116
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: Will be absolutely badass, and I'm looking forward to that.

117
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: This was this was ninety nine's day and what I

118
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: tweeted you mentioned the Cardinals.

119
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: There are so many things to talk about with JJ.

120
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: I think some of the best stories I have ended

121
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: up being off the field or at the end of

122
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: a game in this case. But we went to go

123
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: play Arizona at twenty one because the last time I've

124
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: seen JJ and when he left here in early twenty

125
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: one to go to Arizona. So we see him the

126
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: last game and that's that. And it happens a lot

127
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: of times. You know, in the NFL, it's kind of

128
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 1: schools out right, right, Students go home for the summer,

129
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: and you know, we still come to work here at

130
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: the building and in the building and do what we

131
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: got to do. But we don't see those guys for

132
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: three four months and then we have the desert and

133
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: then they're back for the season. We see him every day.

134
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: So when JJ played that last game against Tennessee.

135
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: That was it.

136
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: That was the last time that we had seen him

137
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: for most of us. So he goes to Arizona. We're

138
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: playing Arizona. I can remember Week five, Week seven, we

139
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: go out to Arizona and I've never done this. At

140
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: the end of the game and I thought, yeah, I'm

141
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna maybe I can catch a minute with DeAndre. Maybe

142
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: i'd catch him inute with JJ. So I happened to

143
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: see DeAndre first, and I talked to him, and that

144
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: well broke me up.

145
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: And I turned around and I just thought, okay, well

146
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: can I get to JJ.

147
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: And JJ had just finished talking to somebody, and I

148
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: just happened to catch his eye and he was about

149
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: to go off the field and he stopped and he

150
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: came back to me to shake my hand and give

151
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: me a hug, and he I just remember. The only

152
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: thing I remember him saying was don't worry, John, It's

153
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: gonna be all right. Don't worry, It's gonna be okay.

154
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: And I'm like, how the heck does he know, to

155
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: reassure me at this moment, like, you know, it's hard.

156
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we just got crushed, so maybe he was,

157
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: but it was like it's gonna be okay. And I

158
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: tweeted today, well now it's okay. Now it's okay because

159
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: he's back where where I think Houston fans know he

160
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: belongs where he probably downdeep knew he belonged in this city.

161
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: And it's weird because one of the things I thought

162
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: about Mark, I thought about this, and I don't know,

163
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: it's just the way that I'm wired.

164
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: He was so good. He was so good in so

165
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: many different ways.

166
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: I always thought about that day when he would finally

167
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: say I'm done, I'm no longer playing for this team,

168
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: and like what that was going to be like. And

169
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: I just, you know, when he retired, it was kind

170
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: of that moment too, of like oh my god, like

171
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: he's the greatest I've ever seen live and now I

172
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 1: don't get to seem anymore. We don't get to seem anymore.

173
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of strange. But today the ring of honor,

174
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we get a little bit of a

175
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: heads up and all that, so we kind of had

176
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: a feeling. You know, we knew what the silhouette was

177
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: all about, and there were a lot of people that

178
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: kind of picked it out and knew it so we

179
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: could be prepared with content and things like that. But

180
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: it was just it was like, Yeah, it just so

181
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: much about it felt right timing wise, with everything that's

182
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 1: gone on this offseason, there's just so much about it

183
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: that just felt right, like it was the right the

184
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: right thing at the right time. I just always felt Mark,

185
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: we would be doing this in twenty five or twenty six,

186
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, I thought it's like longer. Yeah, I thought

187
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: there would be a few more years. I think the

188
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: toll of seventeen, sixteen, seventeen, and then part.

189
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 2: Of nineteen nineteen and then twenty one. Yeah, twenty one, yeah, because.

190
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 3: Johnny last year he stayed healthy for the most part, right, yeah,

191
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 3: twenty two.

192
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I.

193
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 3: Think that that was and I thought maybe that would

194
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: carry him.

195
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: To another season like what I made it brough one more.

196
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: But he's been through it enough to know, Hey, they're

197
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 3: no guarantees, and he's not Andrew Luck in this way, right,

198
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: But I look at him in a luck like way.

199
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: Some o the things that luck or people talked about

200
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: luck experiencing, which was, do you really want to go

201
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 3: through another long term rehab? You've done it so many times.

202
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: If it happens again, people assume, Oh, you just seal up,

203
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: you'll be back in a few months.

204
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: The money's great, Why wouldn't you do it?

205
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: What they have to go through, they meaning those that

206
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: have to recover to get back to the starting line

207
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: of a game day, never mind the season, a game day,

208
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: just to play a game is so difficult, arduous, the

209
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: way he works. Yeah, he felt like it was done.

210
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: I mean, Andre's talked about this.

211
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: You know it.

212
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: As a player, you just know it. You know when

213
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: it's time. He knew it was time now back to us,

214
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 3: because that's the most important thing. He belongs to us.

215
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 3: And it felt weird that he was a Cardinal.

216
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: I have a picture that I think it was Michelle,

217
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: I can't remember who took it. I have a picture

218
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: shaking hands with him, like at that moment, I've shaken

219
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: hands with him at the end of the game and

220
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: he's in a Cardinals jersey and I look at that.

221
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm perplexed by it. Yeah, I'm perplexed, Like what to do.

222
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: It's a great.

223
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: Picture, an odd looking thing, just a strange and he

224
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: played well there, but it's an odd looking look.

225
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: Same with DeAndre.

226
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: It's kind of a sweet uniform in its own way,

227
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: but it just doesn't look right on them to me.

228
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: And for JJ to be a Textan again, that's how

229
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: I feel, and I think that's how people in the

230
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: building feel. He's a Texan again, he's one of us,

231
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: and I think the fans feel that way. And he

232
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: said it, you know, I'm a Texan and that is beautiful.

233
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: It's very special to have the bond with the athlete again.

234
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: It feels like, oh, we are one again. And you

235
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: know Andre Johnson it felt like that as well, because

236
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 3: Andre became a cult and then a Titan and ultimately

237
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: came back to the Texans where he belongs. And it

238
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: was such a good feeling because you if a player leaves,

239
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: a player of that stature leaves, you just kind of,

240
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: I don't know, white knuckling it until they can be

241
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: done with their career and you can absorb them back

242
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: into your fold. And that's what's happened first with Andre

243
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 3: Johnson years ago and now with JJ Watt, and it's

244
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: a beautiful thing that he's going into the Ring of Honor,

245
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: and I hope I get to do what I did

246
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: with Andre Johnson and mister McNair, which is be up

247
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 3: there and make the announcements and bring up the mcnairs

248
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 3: and see that red jacket put on and them getting

249
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: inducted into the Ring of Honor, and make sure it's

250
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 3: a size whatever it is for JJ, they will they'll

251
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 3: have the right size.

252
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: They'll have the right size. Yeah, but there's no question

253
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: I wrote up.

254
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: It's actually not even really writing an article because the

255
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: article I wrote was after he retired and I talked

256
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: about I said I wouldn't tell that story about you know, JJ,

257
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: my son and shoes, you know, So you can see

258
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: the link to that because I put that in the article.

259
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: But it's really just a compilation of all the different

260
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: times I did. I did a illustrator on you know play,

261
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: and I guarantee you there are a dozen more. I

262
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: just couldn't find him. I just I found what I

263
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: I found what I could of things. And I remember

264
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: going through kind of tellustrator think tank, like Okay, what

265
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: am I going to do this week?

266
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: What's a what's a good play to do? And I

267
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 2: always knew.

268
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: I always knew that, Okay, spread the wealth, make sure

269
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: that you come makes you give as much love to everybody.

270
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: It's the time, you know, there were there's some guys

271
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: making plays, and you know, dudes doing some things, and

272
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: DeAndre was doing stuff on the offensive side, will Fuller

273
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff.

274
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: So I always knew to spread the wealth.

275
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: But my god, there were so many times that I

276
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: would I would go through and be like, I want

277
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: to tell straight this of what JJ did today. I

278
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: want to illustrate this. I want to illustrate this play.

279
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: And I found a few, and so you could see

280
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: him in the articles, the pick six against Detroit in

281
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the hundredth sack that he had, his hundred

282
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: sack which ended up coming against Jacksonville in twenty twenty

283
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: as well. And I know a lot of people think

284
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: about twenty seventeen and they think, oh, that was a

285
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: lost season because he got hurt against the Chiefs. But

286
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: I did a illustrator of Week three against the Patriots,

287
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: and he does something in that game that was just otherworldly.

288
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: And I remember watching it.

289
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: I remember watching it live, going, Okay, jjman, another play,

290
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: no surprise tackle, for a loss or maybe like a

291
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: stuff at the line of scrimmage. But when I watched

292
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: it on film, I was mesmerized by how incredible what

293
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: he had just done was.

294
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: It was incredible. So I telestrated that.

295
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: And then of course the sack against Buffalo the playoff game,

296
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: and we actually had Jacob Martin. You'll hear that interview

297
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: probably the next couple of weeks, and we did with

298
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: Jacob Martin, and we were talking about that Buffalo game

299
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: and Jacob has the big sack on Josh Allen at

300
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: the end of the game or right before regulations out,

301
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: but JJ has the sack that turns that game around.

302
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: And it's the last time that JJ and TJ actually

303
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: were in an RGY together because DJ was up in

304
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: the box watching the game. So I did those on tellustrator,

305
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: and what I didn't do, and I know I have

306
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: it somewhere, Mark, I just can't find it anywhere, but

307
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: doing a tellustrator of the interception against the Bengals, the

308
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: one that sort of signaled his arrival, if you will,

309
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: because it felt like after that play against the Bengals,

310
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: his star went to a whole different stratosphere. I mean

311
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: it went to. I mean, obviously the next year is

312
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: twenty sacks, he's defensive MVP, but it felt like that

313
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: play triggered even the next week against Baltimore. I know

314
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: he was the defense was tremendous in a game, but

315
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: he was great. But from that point on he went

316
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: to a different level. I wish I wish I could

317
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: find that Tellisherer film room that we did of that

318
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: pick six against Cincinnati, because that thing is special.

319
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: It is, and that off seat that postseason I should say,

320
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 3: I remember he said, because I asked him in the

321
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: off season, what did you learn? What was the difference

322
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: between the rookie season regular CA campaign and the postseason campaign?

323
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 3: Part of it where what two and a half sacks

324
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: and the pick six? And Brooks Reid had a couple

325
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: of sacks two and a half sacks I think in

326
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: that postseason twenty eleven he said, I figured a few

327
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: things out.

328
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: I figured a few things out. So there it is.

329
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: And we were talking with and we'll hear this interview

330
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: at some point soon Jacob Martin about figuring things out

331
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: versus college in the NFL and that process. Well, obviously

332
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: JJ went through it pretty quickly to become an elite player,

333
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: because within a year he was an elite player of

334
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 3: this league, I mean twenty twelve Defensive Player of the

335
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: Year campaign. A second year in the NFL and him

336
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: figuring things out resulted in that the plays were magnificent.

337
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: You know, we talk about the touchdowns and the sacks

338
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: and everything. The plays were magnificent, day in day out.

339
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 3: The work ethic, the ruboff effect it had on others.

340
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 3: My favorite Watt story is always going to be the

341
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: Barry Kids. It's always going to be the Barry Kids.

342
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: And whenever I'm on a show out of town talk show,

343
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: people say, you know what about JJ Watt? Why can

344
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 3: you tell us? They're looking for something different right, And

345
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 3: a lot of them haven't heard the story of the

346
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: Barry Kids whose parents tragically died in a car accident,

347
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: and obviously the accident paid its toll on the kids,

348
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: and Watt went to visit them in the hospital during

349
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: the lockout off season, no prompting from anybody, the organization

350
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 3: couldn't even contact him. Took it upon himself to buy

351
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: geared Academy Sports and Outdoors, brought it to the kids

352
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: and they became lifelong friends. And there was no publicity

353
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: attached to that now since it's got a lot of

354
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: publicity once everybody got a hold of it, but maybe

355
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: not nationally as much as it should have. Obviously, Harvey

356
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: is the big national story, yep. But the Barry Kids

357
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: is my favorite story because it shows you who he is.

358
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: He did it because he thought it was right. He

359
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: didn't do it for the publicity, just did it. And

360
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: he's done countless things like that, things you'll never know about,

361
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: you'll only hear about it. Maybe if you talk to

362
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 3: the people involved in how are you ever going to

363
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: find them?

364
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: Right? Can you imagine?

365
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: Because how many people ask you, Johnny, Because people ask

366
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 3: me all the time, Hey, could you find a way

367
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 3: to get this whatever it is to JJ Watt to sign?

368
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking how many people who have remotely associated

369
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: themselves with him over the years get that request? So

370
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 3: you can imagine how many are actually getting to him.

371
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: And we have a whole department for stuff like that

372
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 3: with current players, and they've had a lot of work

373
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 3: to do to filter things out. But I love that

374
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 3: about him. Here's the other thing. When you have a

375
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 3: local athlete, a local he's a pro athlete, professional football

376
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: player in our city, whether it's a Rockets player, Astros player,

377
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: Texans player, whatever. But when you have a player like

378
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: that but they're also a huge national star and the

379
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 3: process of them becoming a national star, it kind of

380
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 3: feels strange. It's our guy and now everybody loves him

381
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: and everybody's laying claim to him in a certain way,

382
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 3: and it feels strange. And I went through it with

383
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 3: a team. I went through it with the Miami Hurricanes

384
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 3: because they were my guys and we were these monstrous

385
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 3: national stars in one and it just felt strange to

386
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: have that on top of it. I had it at

387
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 3: Marcus Cambi in college as well. It was kind of

388
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 3: the college basketball equivalent of the Heisman Trophy winner in

389
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety six. It feels weird when everybody is embracing him,

390
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: when it's hey, he belongs to us first, but it

391
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 3: means he's really good, yeah, and it probably means your

392
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: team is doing really well. And to me, you know,

393
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: he's such a great crossover star when you see all

394
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 3: the other entertainment things that he's done, when you see

395
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: girls and SNL and Bad Moms, which was great, the league,

396
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 3: all that stuff, really great stuff, and he's a good

397
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: performer in that material, and it's fun to watch.

398
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: It's been fun to watch, and obviously we you know,

399
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: put a focus on what he did on the field,

400
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: because that's what we do.

401
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: We call the game, we analyze the game.

402
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: We see the things that he's been able to do,

403
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: and you know, you kind of mentioned all the things,

404
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, I know what he did for for my son.

405
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: I had said I would never tell that story until

406
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: he retired or was done, and so I put that

407
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: story an article and you can see that's just kind

408
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: of one of the stories of many you talk about,

409
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Barry kids. You know what he has

410
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: meant to so many people in this town for so long.

411
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: And I'm sure there are there are media members, there

412
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: are you know, high school football coaches, there are business

413
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: people that have had a dealing with J. J. Watt

414
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: and they walk out of there going, oh my god,

415
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: like he's for real. I got a text today from

416
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: somebody asking a good friend of mine saying, it just

417
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 1: no bs here, like behind the scenes, as he as

418
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 1: good a guy as he seems, and I'm like the best,

419
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: I mean the best. And we've probably run into those

420
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: those players over the years that you know, how's that

421
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: guy behind the scenes?

422
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: You know, okay, well all right, you know, trying to

423
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: give too much away, But no, he was the He

424
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: was the real deal.

425
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: He handles it so well. He every so many people

426
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 3: are pulling. I don't think, yeah, I.

427
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: Don't think people understand how many people just want a hey,

428
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: a selfie, you know, like everybody wanted a piece of him.

429
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 2: He can't go to the staters.

430
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: Remember remember Hard Knocks twenty fourteen, not the twenty fifteen

431
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks, which I thought he was hilarious in twenty fifteen,

432
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: but remember in twenty fourteen felt this was before he

433
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: has the twenty fourteenth season and they show him coming

434
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: over the bridge over Kirby to get to practice, and

435
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: it's this really dramatic scene. And I remember seeing a

436
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks like, yeah, all right, that's our guy, Like

437
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: he's our guy. And that was my first year down

438
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: on the sideline, and I just the things I saw

439
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: him do, and it really crystallized the Thursday night against

440
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: the Colts, when I'm not talking thirty seconds before Andrew

441
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: Luck snaps the ball, you just instinctively said, come on, JJ,

442
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: make a play or it's wat time or something to that.

443
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: Because think I said, it's what time, It's what time, and.

444
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: He picked up a fumble and went to the house,

445
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: and I thought, I've never seen anybody in a game

446
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: of football that could do something on command like that.

447
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: He didn't know you did it, but it was like

448
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: what he was that in that season in particular, he

449
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: was every single game.

450
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: I think I said it several times during the Buffalo

451
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 3: playoff game, and it finally happened at the right time.

452
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: So I can't take credit for that one. It's like,

453
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: it's WAT time. It's WAT time again, It's WAT time. Now,

454
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: now would be a good time, JJ, And then he

455
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: makes the big play and he did.

456
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 2: He would do that. He would do that on command.

457
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: And I hate the fact that that we were sort

458
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: of all cheated in sixteen seventeen, in nineteen even they're

459
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: not seeing him at his at his greatest, because at

460
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: his greatest, my god, it was almost indescribable what he

461
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: could do on a field. I still I still say, now,

462
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people will bring this up.

463
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: I still say the one of the greatest individual performances

464
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: I've seen in a game was what he did against

465
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland at twenty fourteen. He went out on a fade route,

466
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown, he got two fifteen yard roughing the

467
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: punter penalties. He then had two and a half sacks

468
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: I think it was four TFLs and completely shut the

469
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: game down.

470
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: Right on defense. And we absolutely had to have it in.

471
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: A game that yeah, absolutely, I mean Alfred Blue is

472
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: running like thirty eight times in that game.

473
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 3: But had he had about a buck fifty in that Yeah?

474
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty eight for a buck fifty. It was like

475
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: a typical out for Blue game.

476
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 2: But w what.

477
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, what couldn't what could the man not do?

478
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget the two fifteen yeard penalties were hilarious.

479
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: But it was like he went out and made up

480
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: for him every single play the rest of the game,

481
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: and it was like he didn't have to because he

482
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: had already done enough and that was a game we

483
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: had to win. And I remember the feeling of going

484
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: back on that plane, just like my god. I looked

485
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: at the book on the way home, the game book,

486
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: and I remember thinking and I think I said this

487
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: you sitting across the aisle from me, and I said,

488
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, I've never seen this before.

489
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: Mark.

490
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: He's got a number in every single one of the

491
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: defensive categories, like I've never seen that. Everybody's got all

492
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: these zero zero tackles, zero sacks. He's got a number

493
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: in every single tack category, tackles, every single one, every

494
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: single game.

495
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 2: It was incredible to watch. Yep.

496
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 3: And now he's going into the Ring of Honor, and

497
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 3: it's so special. And I don't know who the next

498
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 3: one is going to be, but I think it's going

499
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 3: to be a while. I think so too, think it's

500
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: gonna be a while until somebody else. Okay, I got

501
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: one for you here. Okay, So Mark Berman, God bless them.

502
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 3: Mark Berman, the absolute best, just went into the Media

503
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 3: Wall Fame. He and John McLain Ring of Honor, Bob Ingnair,

504
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 3: Andre Johnson, JJ Watt.

505
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: Right, who gets a spot earlier? Someone in the Media

506
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: Wall Fame or the Ring of Honor?

507
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: I bet it's the Media Wall of Fame. I can't

508
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: tell you who. Yeah, that's the thing. I don't know who.

509
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 3: I have some suggestions, but I don't even want to

510
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 3: say them on the air, Okay, because I don't play favorite.

511
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 3: I don't know what the criteria are for the media

512
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 3: Wall of Fame. I guess you have to cover the

513
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 3: team on a regular basis, But I know some people

514
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: who have covered it pretty well and deserve consideration for

515
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 3: a media wall of fame. Yeah, but we'll see. We'll

516
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: see how they handle that. And as far as the

517
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 3: Ring of Honor goes, there's a whole layer of players

518
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: where if you let one, it's kind.

519
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 2: Of like inviting people to the wedding.

520
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 3: Right if we invite this person, that means we have

521
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: to invite this person and that person, and everybody.

522
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 2: Knows how that goes.

523
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 3: You know, you want to hold it to one hundred people,

524
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 3: for instance, and you invite one more person, that equals

525
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: twenty because it just has this chain reaction effect in invites.

526
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: And I think the Ring of Honor is like that.

527
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 3: Now we get down to a level of awesome players, right,

528
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 3: awesome players, but you get one in and then well,

529
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 3: this one deserves obvious consideration.

530
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 2: In this one, these.

531
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: Were no doubters, the birmanham McLain no doubters, right, dre

532
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: Jj and Bob no doubters.

533
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, where love the rest?

534
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 1: Right now the debate would would start. So it's kind

535
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: of interesting.

536
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 3: Maybe have another wall where it's just not the ring

537
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 3: of minor but.

538
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: All the very good, very good.

539
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: That's not a good name. It's not a very good

540
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 2: something else. I know, that's not a very good name.

541
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: But John Grenard is a great name, and he will

542
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,800

547
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: at number fifty two. Oh, speaking of number fifty two,

548
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: there's a story.

549

Speaker 2: Just hang on. It's John and John and Mark. Let's go.

550
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 3: Jonathan Grenard joining us on Texans Radio.

551
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: OKAJG.

552
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 3: I mean we've talked to a lot of rookies and

553
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 3: young guys in here, and you're still young. Yeah, yeah,

554
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 3: but you're kind of the older guys.

555
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

556
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 5: It's kind of weird now, it's pretty weird, but it's

557
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 5: it's cool at the same time, just because you get

558
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 5: to see like the guys that are in your shoes

559
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 5: at one point in time. As far as understanding like

560
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 5: what to expect from the NFL, you know, I came

561
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 5: in during the COVID years, so you know, it was

562
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 5: just different. You know, I didn't get the same Ota experience,

563
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 5: you know, off season workouts, you know, just to mingle

564
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 5: with the team and the guys like we do now,

565
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 5: which is I see not be so beneficial for guys.

566
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 5: But you know, they're they're young and humble and hungry

567
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 5: at the same time. So I think they did a

568
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 5: really good job of hand picking these guys, each guy

569
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 5: to fit with the team.

570
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: Okay, there are two things that we got to talk about.

571
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: Here's the first one. Denzel Perriman was in here a

572
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: little while ago. And Denzel Perriman has won what number

573
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: for a long time?

574
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: Fifty two too.

575
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but he's not gonna wear fifty two anymore

576
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: because he said that you gotta you just walled him

577
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: off on that said, no, no, I've got got kidding.

578
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 5: I mean, look, it's it was. It was a funny

579
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 5: story actually, because I remember he texted me. I got

580
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 5: a text one day shortly after he signed, and I

581
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 5: didn't know he signed yet. You know, I wasn't checking

582
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 5: social media because at the time, you know, obviously fraid

583
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 5: he's going to create the signs and this and that.

584
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 5: So I got a text and was saying, yo, which

585
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 5: you think about that fifty two or something on the

586
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 5: lines like that, and I'm.

587
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: Just like, like.

588
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 2: I looked at it.

589
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 5: I was like, you know, okay, maybe it's like a

590
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 5: spam because I didn't have a number saved then. And

591
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 5: then he said this is your teammate, and I'm like,

592
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 5: he's still not helping.

593
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: Who's asking this?

594
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 5: And I just happened to go on Instagram and check

595
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 5: the page and I've seen that, Oh we just signed

596
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 5: DP so okay cool. So now I was like, okay, well,

597
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 5: it's kind of like lay in the game type deal.

598
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 5: But I think fifty to it because it was a

599
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 5: kind of deal that I kind of dealt with coming

600
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 5: in my rookie year. You know, I wore fifty eight

601
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 5: in college most majority of my collegiate career, and I

602
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 5: kind of wanted that same thing coming in, but obviously

603
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 5: the number was take and and I thought about changing

604
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 5: it then, but once I got fifty two and it

605
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 5: kind of just stuck. I mean, I was like, you

606
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 5: know what, I think I'm gonna just stick with it.

607
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: But it was it was a.

608
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 5: Funny story just because of how he was texting me

609
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: and I kind of left it on red and I

610
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 5: was just like, who is this? And I kind of

611
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 5: put two and two together with the area coaches from

612
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 5: Miami and I've seen it too, but it was fun.

613
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 5: When I met him in person, he was a good dude. Said, look,

614
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 5: it's you the only guy that I can respect, you know,

615
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 5: having that number, so I wear probably make him proud for.

616
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, very cool. Here's the second thing. Yep, got engaged

617
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: in summer.

618
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: I got engaged. Man, got engaged.

619
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 5: Super excited to my beloved fiance man going on four years. Man,

620
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 5: She's she's awesome. I'm super excited that we can finally

621
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 5: steal this deal coming up next year. So exciting time

622
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 5: in the life for sure.

623
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: That's very very cool. Congratulations, I appreciate. What is the date?

624
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: Our date is April twentieth.

625
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 5: We're finalizing it now, pretty much finalizing on getting everything

626
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 5: set up now so I can at least get some

627
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 5: you know, I put everything on her in the wedding plannet.

628
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 5: You know, I kind of stay out of it a

629
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 5: little bit to a certain extent, you know, got my input,

630
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 5: but do it. But she's doing a really good job.

631
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 5: I trust her her judgment and also welcome in our

632
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 5: first baby girl pretty soon. So it's exciting time this year.

633
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 3: That's a veteran move though, because that's right when the

634
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 3: off season conditioning program should start. So if you're honeymooning

635
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: right after that a week, coach, Sorry, what am I

636
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: gonna do right after?

637
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 5: Use a little might keep that in the back pockety right,

638
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 5: and Miko, don't don't watch this part.

639
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: He wants it to be a good father and all that.

640
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he might be like, you might give me

641
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: a little lee. Well, okay, you know you might be

642
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: You might be good.

643
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 3: So so what about the Miko? What does it like

644
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 3: to be operating under him?

645
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: So far?

646
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 3: We haven't played any games yet, but you're you're on

647
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 3: the off season program.

648
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 5: Right, I mean you instally can tell he's done it before.

649
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 5: Down to earth guy players. Coach you know obviously understands

650
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 5: and listens to his players, and you know obviously still

651
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 5: keeps the same thing about hisself, you know, while while

652
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 5: basically still keeping an open ear and open mind to

653
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 5: different avenues about the game, different perspectives, certain things like that.

654
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 5: But off the rip, just from a personal standpoint, you know,

655
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 5: just introduce myself. When I first met him, talk to

656
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 5: I seen he had his family up here a couple

657
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 5: of times. I mean, it was just it just seemed

658
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 5: like it was it just natural, you know, it was

659
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 5: just and nothing was forced. You know, whether our conversation

660
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 5: carried on for a short period of time or long

661
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 5: period of time, it was it was fine. It just

662
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 5: felt like it was just natural, organic. And I understood

663
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 5: right then and there, from the first time I talked

664
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 5: to him what the mission was here, and he understood

665
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 5: what it was before he left and how he had

666
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 5: it when he was captain here, and he's not going

667
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 5: to accept anything less. That's why you see other guys

668
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 5: pulling up from you know, a lot of alumni, pass

669
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 5: players and things to show him, like what whose cap?

670
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 5: They called him Cap, so you know, as you all

671
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 5: know who Cap is and what he wants out of

672
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 5: the team, and it's just so infectious through everybody that

673
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 5: walks through the building. You can feel the energy, you

674
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 5: can feel the intensity that we're all trying to get

675
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 5: and build up to because it's a lot to look

676
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 5: forward to. And I think that with a guy like

677
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 5: him leading us, the sky's the limit for sure.

678
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: John I know people will look at last years defense

679
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: four man surface. Sure, Okay, this year it's four man service.

680
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't change all that much, does it? Or does it?

681
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: How does your role out on the edge change or

682
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: not change in the new scheme? I mean you don't

683
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: have to give anything way, sure, just in general, how

684
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: does it change for you?

685
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 5: I think when you when you look at a four

686
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 5: to three defensive line, they have to be the guys.

687
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 5: You know, when you have four defensive linemen out there,

688
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 5: there should be you have more than the linebackers out there,

689
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 5: so you have to make up for that. So I

690
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 5: believe when you have that many guys out there, and

691
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 5: he instills you everybody needs to win their one on

692
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 5: one matchups to where you know it's not it shouldn't

693
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 5: be left to the linebackers or the dbs to clean

694
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 5: it up. It should never get past the defensive line.

695
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 5: And I'm a true believer in that. I believe he's

696
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 5: a true believer in that. Obviously he's a linebackers guy

697
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 5: for sure, But with Matt Burke obviously our DC, he's

698
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 5: definitely a guy who's a defensive line guy who believes

699
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 5: that d line should set the pace and definitely make

700
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 5: all the plays. I don't know how much it will

701
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 5: change deffinely. Obviously the intensity is going to change and

702
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 5: how we run a couple of things for sure, but

703
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 5: just overall in a different specif I think with us

704
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 5: having the keys as a defensive line, of us being

705
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 5: the primary unit, that's going to set the tone to

706
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 5: make all the plays. With my eyes, I'll definitely take

707
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 5: that chip on our shoulder. We love it and I

708
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 5: think that's what you should do and have placed upon you.

709
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 5: Especially got guys filled up like we did in the

710
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 5: offseason obviously, will you know, Rank Malik, you know Roy,

711
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 5: you know everybody was out there. These guys are just

712
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 5: you know, continuously getting a different mindset of how to

713
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 5: play a four to three defense, including myself. I mean

714
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 5: there's a lot of times I'm learning new as well.

715
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 5: That's just gonna make me play even faster. You know,

716
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 5: guys just make us think less and just go so

717
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 5: little similarities, but a lot of for sure, We're definite

718
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 5: gonna be the primary part for sure.

719
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 3: Jonathan Grinard with us, all right, what about the offense?

720
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: What can you tell us about what you're seeing across

721
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 3: the lot of scrimmage.

722
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: I don't want to get too high or too low.

723
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 5: But hey, I'm just telling you they they got some

724
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 5: cooking on that offensive side. And that's and that's as

725
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 5: biased as it sounds. I'm trying not to be biased.

726
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 5: And because I've seen it, and that's like you said,

727
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 5: I've been here, I'm going on my four fear now

728
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 5: and I've seen it. Different quarterbacks, different different atmospheres, different

729
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 5: offensive different offensive minds. And Bobby Bobby Slower, he he

730
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 5: knows a little something about that offense.

731
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: Now you can just tell it just screams. You know.

732
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 5: Obviously that Shanahan style you know, obviously comes from San France,

733
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 5: and uh, you can just tell he had he took

734
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 5: a lot of things from different places, different pieces, and

735
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 5: made it to his own. I mean, and it fits

736
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 5: the guys. And you can just tell the office of guys.

737
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 5: I'm more comfortable and they're jelling together. And I mentioned

738
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 5: earlier about having these ota sessions. These are awesome because

739
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 5: you just built that camaraderie on top of you learning

740
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 5: a new scheme and understand how we all want to

741
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 5: run it. Man, that that offensive side there defense were

742
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 5: had on our business.

743
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 2: For sure.

744
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 5: One hundred percent. But I'm telling y'all now, the offense

745
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 5: is coming with it for sure.

746
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: Okay, we talked about this a little bit and you

747
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: mentioned a couple of times you've been here.

748
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: You've been here a little while.

749
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: Outside of Kaymi and Weeks, who are the only players

750
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: that have been in Houston longer than you?

751
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: You got Titus and lt That's it got to be.

752
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 2: That's it. The on gotta be key tracks.

753
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I still remember when you came in as

754
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: a rookie day COVID, you know, that was.

755
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 5: That was that was a crazy time to think about it. Now,

756
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 5: just to see how the normalcy that we have now

757
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 5: can you go through the true like draft. I mean,

758
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 5: people they don't understand. I mean it's I come in

759
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 5: off of a year. You know, it's who knows what

760
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 5: to expect. You know, you got to roll in with

761
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 5: the same guys pretty much that you did in twenty nineteen.

762
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 5: You know, it's hard to fit certain guys in and

763
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 5: that haven't been a part of a certain process. But

764
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 5: just to see the transformation overall, you know, every year

765
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 5: I feel like I knew everything. I keep getting to

766
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 5: another years I learned something new and I don't know everything,

767
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 5: so that's just not just football but his life. So

768
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 5: I think that's the joy I get out of being

769
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 5: here kind of so long, and hopefully we turn not hopefully,

770
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 5: we're gonna turn this thing around, So I'm excited.

771
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: I'm definitely looking forward to it. Jonathan, thanks a lot,

772
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 2: good luck always. I appreciate you all for having me.

773
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, Denzel Peraman will wear at number six. We got

774
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: the true story about that. We'll share that maybe later.

775
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,640

801
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 4: It's been pretty good. Coach Ryan's got the culture going

802
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 4: in there, haus the direction. You know, we're building something

803
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 4: and that's you know China was staying for a long time.

804
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 4: Really just turned turn this around in the positive direction.

805
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 4: Everybody I met here since being here has been great.

806
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 4: You know, they love football and care about football, and

807
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 4: that's the most important thing. When you go to a

808
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 4: new team facility and a bunch of around the new guys,

809
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 4: you know, if you guys don't have the same goal

810
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 4: and one guy's coinage, there you know, it shows like

811
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 4: a sore thumb. So you know, everybody had the same

812
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 4: goal here and we're trying to win. And we didn't

813
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 4: come here to be a rebuild or anything that. We

814
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 4: came here to be efficient and get a job done.

815
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 4: So that's our goal this year.

816
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 2: Greg.

817
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: I know there may not be people out there because

818
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: obviously you got here just recently and fans haven't seen,

819
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: you know, any preseason games, regular season games, and they

820
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: you play for different teams, but they probably weren't paying attention.

821
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: So what does what does Greg Little bring to the

822
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: table here for the Texans? So Texans fans can get

00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: Then you go to Old Miss.

868
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: I can imagine when you got the Old Miss because

869
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 1: of your background, your five star guy. You know, you've

870
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: got all the physical dimensions. How much did you hear

879
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,759

00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 4: Miss coaches after did a really good job and not

884
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 4: trying to do that. Yeah, you know me, I was

885
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 4: my own person. I really didn't hear Lambry's name much

886
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 4: at all. He was an amazing player for Old Miss

887
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 4: and what he did. And I'll be lying to say

888
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 4: I didn't come into Old Miss trying to recreate, you know,

889
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 4: repatter a lot of things he did. But no, they

890
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 4: did a good job. It was laying to be my

891
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 4: own man and be my own person.

892
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 3: Man, Greg little with us, Greg, give me a pitch

893
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 3: for Old Miss. My kid is looking at colleges right now,

894
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 3: going into a senior year, and I know a lot

895
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 3: of Houston kids liked to go to Old Miss.

896
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: So you tell me.

897
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 3: All I've got is Sandra Bullock in the blind Side

898
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 3: movie right now, and that looks all right, But you

899
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 3: tell me.

900
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 4: So I chose Old Miss one. I know a MS

901
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 4: in the in the next two probably in that mix

902
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 4: y it's differenttween old miss a lot of schools. Is

903
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 4: the feel of just being authentic, like you know, for

904
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 4: this from like you know, football Standspoint, you know, just

905
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 4: being like you can be yourself there. You know, the campus.

906
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 4: They were so appreciative of people coming there. You know

907
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. It was like an Alabama where it's

908
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 4: like you're the next guy there or stuff like that.

909
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 4: You know, people were so humble, you getting a sandwich

910
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 4: in the in the line, people talk to you about

911
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: there's not football stuff. You just talk about life or

912
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 4: I'm from Dallas too, you know. So that was the

913
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 4: biggest thing, was just everybody was so respectful and authentic,

914
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 4: and I feel like it was really a place where

915
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 4: I didn't have to like be something something that wasn't

916
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 4: you know, you haven't.

917
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: Been in Houston too long, and I know Dallas is

918
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: obviously home free. So I want to I want to

919
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: ask you Houston for Dallas. Won't get into that, but

920
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: how do you like Houston thus far? The fact that

921
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: had you been here and during the break you can

922
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: go back home, what are you gonna do.

923
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 4: During the break? So it's weird, but I saw my
