We got plenty to 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: talk to and to join me to talk about all 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: of it. Is my man, the voice of the Texans, 12 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: Mark van Mere Mark, how are you doing? Have you 13 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: recovered from the weekend? Swimming along? Johnny? Very nice indeed, 14 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: And you know, I gotta tell you you're right about 15 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: the weather. It's crazy. It'll never stop raining ever. Although 16 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: it broke this afternoon for how long, I don't know. 17 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: I was driving around doing something to go do a 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: medical thing today, nothing serious, but yeah, it's definitely nasty 19 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: out there. It was, and hopefully that'll be it for 20 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: a while. Who knows, it's Houston. You're right, expect anything. 21 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: I always think of this Memorial Day flood, so you 22 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: know that around this time of the year, Tax Day 23 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: flood earlier month and a half earlier. Yep, we've just 24 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: experienced it. It's rainy season and Houston, it just is 25 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: and we got to just deal with it. And then 26 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: you have hurricane season to back it up, because if 27 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: the rain wasn't enough, now you have the hurricane prospect 28 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: looming out there. So let's just be ready for anything. 29 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: I mean, I mentioned this on Friday. The Lake Charles 30 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: area kind of the bottom part of the El Louisiana 31 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: the boot Man after a couple of hurricanes in the fall, 32 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: and then they got pounded from Beaumont going that direction 33 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: got pounded this weekend. I was unbelievable to see the rain. 34 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: Hopefully everybody there. I knew we got a lot of 35 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: Texans fans in the area. Sure there a lot of 36 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: Saints fans. There are still a lot of Texans fans 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: there as well. So hopefully everybody came out of there 38 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: safe and sound. Mark We're gonna either or in the 39 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: next segment. And there was some interesting things that not 40 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: just on the floor to quarter or whatever this weekend, 41 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: but a few others I was thinking about, I think 42 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: this is a good either or we'll say that for 43 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: the next segment. All right, But I heard this this 44 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: weekend and I sort of felt it, kind of and 45 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: I felt it watching through the TV, that this felt 46 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: like a sports weekend that was so normal that it 47 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: was glorious. Yeah, you had Phil winning at the PGA. 48 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: You had the Knison heat and I'm sorry, Nixon Hawks 49 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: playing in a playoff game that was just phenomenal, and 50 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: the people back in Madison Square Garden. I hate the 51 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: Knicks with every ounce of my being, but it was 52 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: such an incredible atmosphere. I couldn't turn the game off. 53 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: I couldn't have carried less about those two teams, but 54 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: just watching in that atmosphere was unbelievable. Baseball games, watched 55 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: them throughout the weekend. I was watching softball regionals and 56 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: college baseball, and there were full crowds and obviously culminated 57 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: with what Phil did at Kiawa and then the people 58 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: storming the Green. Just your overall feeling about that, before 59 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: we get into some texts and stuff, your thoughts about 60 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: the weekend and seeing fans out and about acting normal. 61 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: Is this the weekend that it's sort of changed, hopefully 62 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: in the sports world. Yeah, I think it did, Johnny. Look, 63 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: it gets me excited about NRG Stadium this fall. We 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: can all be together again, experienced game date together and 65 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: all that, because yesterday Saturday you saw glimpses of that 66 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: and you mentioned Madison Square Garden. Look, I don't root 67 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: for the Knicks either, but I grew up in the 68 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: New York area, so the garden was my place to 69 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: go to the circus as a kid and whatever other 70 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: events I saw on the close circuit TV. Back in 71 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: the early seventies World Cup games between the Netherlands and 72 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: Brazil and the Netherlands and West Germany, that huge World Cup. 73 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: My mom wasn't even a sports fan, but she knew 74 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: enough to take me because she said, this is bigger 75 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: than sports. This is everything to somebody from the Netherlands. 76 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: So that was really cool. And I saw led Zeppelin 77 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: in that building. But Johnny calling games at Madison Square 78 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: Garden and I did a few Big East games. There 79 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: was really a thrill. And it's the Mecca of basketball 80 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: they call it and all of that, and we can 81 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: debate whether it should be or is or not, but 82 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: there's something about it. There's something about walking through the 83 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: streets of Manhattan. Then right off the street you have 84 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: this incredible atmosphere of basketball, the old NIS to take 85 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: place there when the n I t was actually bigger 86 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: than the NCAA tournament. And I just think that the 87 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: Knicks back in action and relevant again. And I know 88 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: they lost, but that crowd was phenomenal. And then later 89 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: on that evening when you get Phil and winning that 90 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: PGA championship like that, it was happy Gilmore meets Bagger 91 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: Vance meets twenty twenty one. I mean, a crowd that 92 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: was so happy to be out there. And I bring 93 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: up the bag of vans because we've all seen it 94 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: a hundred times. If you watch the Golf Channel, they 95 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: show every other hour when there's another event on, and 96 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: you know you're on the same coast because that's Georgia, 97 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: this is South Carolina, And it just felt like that, 98 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: and it's getting not darker, but you know later in 99 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: the day, and it just it felt so good. And 100 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people don't root for Phil. 101 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: I kind of do, but I just thought the moment 102 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: was great. So a moment at the Garden, moment with 103 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: the PGA Championship. All of it was really terrific and 104 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: I'm so glad we all got to have a weekend 105 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 1: like that because it gets me fired up for football. 106 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: Can you imagine we're gonna have crowds again and it's 107 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: gonna be electric. You know. It was interesting watching some 108 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: of the highlights and and just of of everything, anything 109 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: that I missed and watching the crowd and the crowds 110 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: and thinking about that's That's one of the ways I 111 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: can figure out as I'm watching games, like, oh, that's 112 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: a that's a game from twenty twenty. Oh you know, 113 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: that's a highlight from twenty nineteen. How do I know 114 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: because the crowd is there? How do I know that's 115 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: not a game of twenty twenty one because the crowd 116 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: isn't there. You know, that kind of thing, And it 117 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: just was. It was strange, but it almost felt like 118 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: at the PGA. And I don't know, maybe if Brooks 119 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: Keptica want it again, or if somebody else, you know, 120 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: maybe Louis Ustazan who was kind of hanging around for 121 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: a little while, maybe if he made a little bit 122 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: of a run, Yeah, it would have been cool. But 123 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: it almost felt like Phil winning that tournament. In the 124 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: way the fans reacted, it was almost like this not 125 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: only this huge outpoint for him, but almost for everybody, like, 126 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: you know what, bleep it, it's over. Phil want this. 127 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna go celebrate. We're gonna have this just gigantic 128 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: moment and we're gonna share with him. Let's go. And 129 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: it was just, I don't know, it felt different from 130 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: any sporting event that I've seen, And maybe it was 131 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: just because people were just kind of letting it all out, like, 132 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: you know what, we've been cooped up for so long. 133 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: We've not been able to see our events. You haven't 134 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: been able to see Phil. You know what, this is 135 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: the oldest man to ever win a major. You know, 136 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna go celebrate with him and just have a time. 137 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: And that's kind of the way it felt. And you know, 138 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: poor old brooks Kepka is trying to get through there 139 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: with a bad knee, and you know, fans are banging 140 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: into him. But it was really I don't even know 141 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: the right word to use, the right adjective to use 142 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: for it, but it was almost sort of cathartic, exciting, 143 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: a little unnerving, and subset. As Phil said, to kind 144 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: of watch the whole thing go. Yeah, and look they're 145 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: they're used to know crowds now, I mean after a 146 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: whole year of it, right, And then you have the 147 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: exact opposite, because I've never seen anything like that before 148 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: where it was that crazy and they had no control 149 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: of this crowd none. And Kepka I did feel bad 150 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: for him in that sense. You look, the tournament was 151 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: already over once Phil hits the approach shot on a team, 152 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: I mean pretty much the drive did it for him anyway. 153 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: You know, you thought about wingfoot and it's always possible 154 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: with Phil, and you never he could always pull a 155 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: John Vandeveld. It's in the bag for Phil right, so 156 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: to speak. But with Kepka, I thought, if anybody complains 157 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 1: about this, come on, this is great for the sport 158 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: of golf, which needed that badly, and great for sports 159 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: which needed that badly. So it's all good. And somebody 160 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: once said, and I forget who it was, an athlete said, 161 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: you know they love you when you're young. When you 162 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: get to be the middle aged in your athlete career, 163 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, it can be hot or cold, and when 164 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: you're old they love you again. Like now, I like 165 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady now that he's in the NFC and he's old, 166 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: and it doesn't affect me really like him. You like 167 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: him now, all right, So I shouldn't say like I 168 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: kind of I pulled for him last year. You know, 169 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: he's all he's up against Breeze, he's up against Rogers, 170 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: then he's up against Mahomes. I didn't want any of 171 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: those guys to win. I wanted I'd rather see Brady 172 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: because you know what a he's already got so many 173 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: and I like seeing the old guy do it. Now, 174 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: if you still played for the Patriots, Johnny, I would 175 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: be poking against them like nobody's business. Okay. I'd be violent, 176 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: tearing to do whatever I could to help them go down. 177 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: But since he's in the NFC, I'm like, who cares, 178 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: you know, and beat Mahomes please, because it's not like 179 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't like Patrick. I think Patrick Mahomes is pretty likable. 180 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: But I don't like the Chiefs and I don't want 181 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: them having success because they're in the FC. So that's it. 182 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: That's a perfect way of putting it. Okay, let's get 183 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: to the Texans. Because there was a piece of news 184 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was, it was rumored out 185 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: there yesterday, but either way, it was made official today 186 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: the Texans about oh, I don't know. About a week 187 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: after Jeff Driscoll has added to the quarterback roster, Ryan 188 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: Finley is deleted from the quarterback roster. I don't even 189 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: really kind of know how to think about it. I 190 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: don't know if it's earth shattering, but Ryan Finley in 191 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: then out mark your thoughts, all right, Well, Look, it 192 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: was not a big investment to get him. I think 193 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: they saved money by doing that pick swap because if 194 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: they signed him as a free agent or waiting for 195 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: him to get cut, it would have been more expensive 196 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: than whatever the salary was going to be, right based 197 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: on the pick swaps. So that's why they did it 198 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: at the time. We don't know why they did this, 199 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: and you know, full disclosure, I really don't know. I 200 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: haven't taught to anybody about it yet. I mean, it's 201 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: a number of things, right. It could be they didn't 202 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: like what they saw in the practice field. They felt 203 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: like Driscoll isn't upgrade for whatever they were envisioning for 204 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: Ryan Finley, a combination of both or whatever. So I 205 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: just you know, It's obviously a move they felt like 206 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: they needed to make. And you and I were talking 207 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: last week about how Driscoll looks, you know, pretty decent, 208 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: looks like this could be a pretty decent addition for 209 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: them for what they need depth wise, and they decided, 210 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: all right, we don't need Finley. So they don't need 211 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: Finley and Johnny you know that this time of year 212 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: or training camp, however, you want to look at whatever 213 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: we got from now it's all opening day. There aren't 214 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: that any reps to go around. I mean, three quarterbacks 215 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: is going to fill up the amount of reps. I 216 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: don't think you have four unless you're really you know, 217 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: you got one out there for developmental purposes, and maybe 218 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: that is Mills, but maybe Mills looks terrific. We don't 219 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: know anything. Now. We're gonna get to watch a little 220 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: bit of practice this week, so that'll be cool and 221 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: we can gauge that a little bit more. But but really, 222 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: are we gonna be able to gauge a ton Look 223 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: when we first saw Watson on the practice field at 224 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: this point in OTA's how did it look not great? 225 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: Not great? You know late may you know, three weeks 226 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: later it looked a lot better. We all know that, 227 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: you know, it got good or better that quickly. Now, 228 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't compare mills. I mean, I'm 229 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: not trying to here. I'm just saying that it's not 230 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: always the best way to mark where you are or 231 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: where you're gonna be anyway by where you are right 232 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: now late May. But we'll see. I can't wait to 233 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: go have a look. Yeah, I'm with yet. You know, 234 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: I got a couple of texts from some friends, some 235 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: friends Mars in the media. Why do you think they 236 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: went and got Driscoll? And I thought, you know, look, 237 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: there's a couple of things. Number One, they wanted to 238 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: have another arm, maybe going to thinking about going into 239 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: OTAs because they're gonna be doing a lot of you know, 240 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: individuals seven on seven. You know, it's a lot of throws. 241 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: Maybe they want to save some arms in that particular situation. 242 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: Maybe they saw something they didn't really like or something 243 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: they liked a little bit more in Driscoll than what 244 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: they had seen. And maybe that's what it turned out 245 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: to be, is that they saw Ryan and they saw Driscoll. Okay, 246 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: wait a second, we want to go in with three 247 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks right, we think Driscoll's further along. Finley, We're gonna 248 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: go to Driscoll at this point, Well, let me ask you, 249 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: your general manager. I just made you general manager, right, 250 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: and you have what you have. We all know the 251 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: elephant of the room story, okay, and the availability of 252 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: such is let's just say, highly questionable. So so you 253 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: have what you have right now in the building, right right? Yeah, 254 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: you have Tyrod Taylor, you have Davis Mills. You're gonna 255 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: have another quarterback, right You need another guy who can play, 256 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: you know who who has experienced. You don't want to 257 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: go with another rookie. You don't want to go And 258 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to speak for you, mister GM, because 259 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 1: I just made your GM. But am I writer? Am 260 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: I right that you want another guy who you know 261 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: has taken some snaps here and can operate in an 262 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: NFL environment? No doubt? And if you would have told 263 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: me ahead of time, if I would have known Driscoll available, 264 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: Finley available, I'm probably leaning towards Drisco. Anyways, I mean, 265 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: you and I we talked about that last week off 266 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: the air, you and I, and we're trying to figure 267 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: out why they have four I was like, well, if 268 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: I have my choice, I'm taking I'm taking Driscoll. And 269 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: in fact, we had a little text threat going on 270 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: about that once we had caught win that Finley might 271 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: be on his way out that I was like, I 272 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: think just goes a better quarterback anyways, And just way 273 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: you're looking at it, and you know how I answer 274 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: that question. You know who you know who's better? A 275 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: lot of times, well, which guy would I want? If 276 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: that's all I've got, I've got Finley and I got 277 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: Drisco and I gotta go win one game. I think 278 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: I would probably trust Jeff Driscoll a little bit more 279 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: than I would Ryan Finley. So to me, that's that's 280 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: how I separated which guy who I think gives me 281 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: a better chance to win a game if I need him, 282 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: Because I'm not, hopefully not gonna be needing that particular 283 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: quarterback to go for seventeen games. I just might need 284 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: that quarterback to get me through a week, maybe even two. 285 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: If it's beyond that, then I've got to think of 286 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: different strategy. But going in, if I gotta win one game, 287 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm thinking Jeff Driscoll's my guy. So that's the that's 288 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: the conclusion seemingly a Nick and Staff game too. And 289 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: that's where we are, Ryan Finley today released made official 290 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: by the Texans. Okay, In our next segment, it's time 291 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: for either Or and Mark. We are going to compare 292 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: a couple of people that we talked about in this segment. 293 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna talking about a couple of people we didn't 294 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: talk about in this segment. We'll talk a little college 295 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: and then I've got one of my favorite either ors. 296 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: I think I've ever come up with that next on 297 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Welcome back this money edition of Texans 298 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: All Access from the Hunday Texans a radio studio mobile version, which, 299 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, was seemingly an arc floating down 300 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: my river because it was that bad over where I 301 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: reside here in the city of Houston. I am John 302 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: Harris alongside Mark Vandimir Mark. Are you ready for Either Or? 303 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: It's such a simple game, and yet it can be 304 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: so complex? All right, here we go, Number one? More difficult? 305 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: You defined difficult? How you choose Phil Mickelson winning the 306 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: PGA Championship, the oldest major winner ever the age of fifty, 307 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: or Tom Brady winning a Super Bowl with his new 308 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: team at the age of forty three. Difficult, Brady, really, yeah, Look, 309 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: playing quarter back at age forty three is ridiculous, Johnny. Look, 310 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: and I think what Phil did is ridiculous as well. 311 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: People have to understand this. You look at Phil, you like, 312 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: he looks pretty good to me? And yeah, he looks good. 313 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: He puts the time in. I think he puts more 314 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: work into his body now than he did ten years ago, 315 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, clearly, because fifteen years ago you look 316 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: at some of that video and it's like, looks like 317 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: he was missing fewer meals then. You know. Now he 318 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: says he fasts. Listen to this, he fasts a day 319 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: and a half a week, right, Oh, I would imagine 320 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: that's in a row. By the way, It's not like 321 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: I hope so I'm fasting from until dinner. Now. He 322 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: clearly he looks good though, right, doesn't he look pretty good? 323 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't look unbelievable. But for him grading on the curb, 324 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: he looks good. You know, they call him lefty, but 325 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: some people jokingly call him hefty, right, uh. And and 326 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: I just think Phil the focus. Look after he hit 327 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: the shot on eighteen onto the green, you could day, 328 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: close uped on him close upped that's a verb, and 329 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: you could see him breathing, like like really taking some 330 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: deep reasts, like the adrenalin was pumping. He's a he's 331 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 1: a mental guy, physical guy. I think he's taken it 332 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: all to another level. And yeah, he hasn't been playing 333 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: great lately, but he knew it was coming. He felt 334 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: it coming. And I think golf is a weird sport. 335 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: You can just all of a sudden rise up. Look 336 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: at Louis who stays And my kid was asking me 337 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: about him. I'm like, he's won one major. He's a 338 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: good golfer, but you know he has the nerve to 339 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: like show up on a Sunday like that and just 340 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: potentially ruin your Sunday. Right, I'm watching Phil and Kepta. 341 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: Kepta is like the terminator, I think, right, I mean, 342 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: you can go down, but he's gonna get back up, 343 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: but he's gonna make a run. But really kept played 344 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: more like I thought Phil would yesterday. Anyway, The point 345 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: is this, I think it's more difficult to do what 346 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: Brady did. Come on, you're playing quarterback in the NFL. 347 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: You go to a brand new team and you win 348 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And look, as much as people rave 349 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: about the Bucks defense and this and that, all the 350 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: offensive line was better than you think. And Bruce Arians, 351 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: come on, John, you're there. You just show up and 352 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: you win the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 353 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: and you gotta go on the road to do it, 354 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: and you gotta be Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. Give 355 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: me a break. That's way more tough. That's crazy to 356 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: win three playoff games on the road and then come 357 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: back home and then win the Super Bowl and you're 358 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: in your own stadium. Ridiculous. You know what. I hate 359 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: him again. I hate him again. I just realized, go ahead, yeah, 360 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: okay this one. Oh yeah, you gotta kind of think 361 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: through this one. You get to pick an adult life, okay, 362 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson or Tiger Woods Phil Phil Philip, Phil Phil 363 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: Phil Phil. Look, Tiger has had a lot of Tiger, 364 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, Tiger was. I mean, think of ninety nine one, 365 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: those three years you were the king of the Bold. 366 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 1: And I'm doing a lot of extracurricular things if I'm 367 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: living Tiger's life, paying the price and thanking you know, 368 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: my creator that my wife at the time is not 369 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: a better swing or whatever, because she took a swing 370 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: at me with a what was it a sand wedge 371 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: or yeah, I don't know what it was. Look all 372 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: of that stuff. Tiger's got demons, and I'm sure Phil 373 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: has whatever he has too, and we haven't heard as much. 374 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: I just think that maybe there's a little bit more 375 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: peace for lack of a better way of putting it. 376 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: But I know his wife's his wife's health issues, big deal. 377 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: We saw that up close and personal out the shell 378 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: Houston open right when he led his doctor or her 379 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: doctor carry his bag for a while. And you know 380 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: Phil went through the arthritis recovery or remission, all the 381 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: work he had to do to get that accomplished. So 382 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: they've both had immense challenges. Tiger way more success. Um, 383 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: I you know what, I picked Nicholas Irie player, I 384 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: Gary Player, Johnny Okay today in one of the I 385 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: don't use the work weird because well it was weird. 386 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: Shannon Sharpe, during his live television show, called Julio Jones 387 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: on his personal phone and then played the played it live. 388 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: It was all going live. I have no idea if 389 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 1: Julio Jones knew he was on the air live or 390 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: he was just having a conversation with Shannon. I don't 391 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: know either way. Julio says the famous words I'm out 392 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: of there, referring to Atlanta. Which thing got me thinking, 393 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: oh boy, more dangerous Julio Jones in Tennessee or Julio 394 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: Jones in Indianapolis. I'm gonna say, Tennessee's already dangerous, and 395 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: and you know they're they're a tough out. Okay, they 396 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: won the division and can they get better? Sure they can, right, 397 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: and everybody needs to get better. Julio with the Colts 398 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: scares me more because Johnny, look, they've got Pittman, and 399 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: I know t Y is still there and he feels like, well, 400 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz it's here, now we can go deep again. 401 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, well, let's you know, you gotta 402 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: stay healthy Ty to go deep. But you know, I 403 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: know t Y is still dangerous if he is healthy. 404 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: But that's a lot to ask for t Y, and 405 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: it's a lot to ask for Carson Wentz to be 406 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: healthy too, by the way, But I just feel like 407 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: Julio in um India is a lot more dangerous. You know. 408 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: The funny thing is, you know a lot of people 409 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: point to and look, this is this is no rationale 410 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: here or rationalization I should say. But they've been paying 411 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: Ryan and Julio for a long time and they got 412 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: to a super Bowl and they should have won it, right, 413 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: But it hasn't been easy, you know, it hasn't been 414 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,239 Speaker 1: a guaranteed recipe for success for them. They've had a 415 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: lot of issues and a lot of losing seasons there 416 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: with Ryan and Julio, you know, I mean Julio was 417 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: here in twenty eleven. We were talking about the game 418 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: last week with t J. Yates getting the start and 419 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: the Texans winning seventeen to ten that day. They've been 420 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: at it for a long time. Look, they've been a 421 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: lot of playoff appearances, a lot of success, you could say, 422 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: but a lot of seasons where they could would have 423 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: should have made the playoffs and they missed it and 424 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: missed opportunities to get titles. Right, they only got to one, which, look, 425 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: give me one. I'd love to get to one. But 426 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: my point is this, it's no guarantee. So just because 427 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: you get Julio is no guarantee. But can he be 428 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: the missing piece for somebody like that one of those teams? Yeah, 429 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: he can be one of the missing pieces. I think 430 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: for Tennessee more dangerous. Well, I said more dangerous for 431 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: the Colts, because Tennessee's already dangerous. So if you ask 432 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: me where I'd like to see him go, you know, 433 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: do you load up Tennessee just to like, I give 434 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: him everything? Because you know, we got to make sure 435 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: that the Colts are gettable, and then you take your 436 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: shot at Tennessee because they're so tough to begin with. 437 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. A. J. Brown's already such a terror 438 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: and now here we go, and is he gonna get better? 439 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: I gotta feeling he's gonna get a better Johnny. That's scary. 440 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: And if you put A J. Brown with Julio, which 441 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: one you double? I mean, I don't even I don't 442 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: even know how. I don't even you know, but an indie, 443 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: it's kind of the same thing. Yeah, you're double Pittman, 444 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: But then you're gonna let t Y go singled up. 445 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think, Oh thetch that A. J. 446 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: Brown made to set up the winning field goal against 447 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: the Texans the last day of the season, right, yeah, 448 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: all right, that catch. I don't think he makes the 449 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: catch the year before. I think he made it last 450 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: year because he didn't. Yeah he did. He didn't improve 451 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: in a year or two, which is scary to think 452 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: because I thought as a rookie he was darn he 453 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: was darn good. But you got me thinking. You mentioned 454 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: something about getting to the super Bowl, and I had 455 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: this We were either or like, this is like a 456 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: maccab sort of thing. Would you would you rather go 457 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: one in sixteen or get to the super Bowl but 458 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: lose fifty one three? Get to the super Bowl but 459 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: you know you're losing fifty one to three. I don't, 460 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I care, but get me to the super Bowl. 461 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: Look all right, look I said too, That's what I 462 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: said too. But I don't know why I popped in 463 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: my head today just driving like I wonder road would 464 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: be worse going one in sixteen or no, when you 465 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl but lose it like in 466 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: horrible fashion. I lived in Boston when the Patriots got 467 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: drilled what was it, forty five to ten? Yeah, but 468 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: the Patriots at the time of the first team to 469 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: win three playoff games on the road. They beat the Jets, 470 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: they beat the Raiders in LA when the Raiders were 471 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Man and then they beat the Dolphins in 472 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: the Orange Bowl. When the Dolphins were, like, I mean, 473 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: they were supposed to go to the Super Bowl. They 474 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: beat the Bears, right, so that was a tremendous achievement 475 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: to get there. And then they get drilled. So nationally 476 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: they'll always remember be remembered or forgotten or whatever as 477 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: a team to get drilled by the Bears. But locally 478 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: in your region at least they appreciate the fact that 479 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: you got there and Stevegan's ledge and and Stanley Morgan 480 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: and Andre Tippett and some of the players on that team. Okay, 481 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna stay in the division with this one. Okay, Now, 482 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: the other one was adding Julio Jones to the division, 483 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: So we were gonna lose either way. So that's stunk. 484 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: But now you get to win. You get one non 485 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: quarterback duo to leave the division. They go somewhere else. Duo, Yes, 486 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: you get it into second. No, it's either or either 487 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: Taylor Lujan and Derrick Henry or Quentin Nelson and Jonathan Taylor. 488 00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: Which non quarterback duo do you want to see leave 489 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: the division. It's a better offensive lineman versus a better 490 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: running back. Lujan and Derrick Henry or Quittin Nelson and 491 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. Well, considering I thought Derrick Henry should be 492 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: the MVP of the league last year. I believe that 493 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and Luan being out of Tennessee would be 494 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: lovely because I think the Colts look the Texans, we 495 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: don't really know what we're dealing with here right until 496 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: we see it, I mean the whole team. And I'm 497 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: gonna do this with you tomorrow. Like certain position groups 498 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: are I really like what I see on paper, and 499 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: I believe it's gonna be good. Other position groups are 500 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: I gotta see it right, and I believe they feel 501 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: that way too. I gotta see it. I think I 502 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: might have it, but I gotta see it, you know. 503 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: And I think this whole team is. I gotta see 504 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: it right. You gotta see this team. You really don't know. 505 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: We don't know how it's gonna look. You know. It's 506 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: part of the excitement of this season. It's like, yeah, hey, 507 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: we don't know really what it's gonna look like. Or 508 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, maybe and I say we mean collective Texans nation, 509 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, maybe the coaches are in there, like we 510 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: know exactly how you're gonna pool everybody because we know. 511 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if they feel that way or not, 512 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: but the point is this. The Colts, I think are 513 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: gettable anyway. The Titans, yeah, everybody's gettable. But you take 514 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: Derek Henry away, it changes the whole dynamic, right, it 515 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: changes everything. So I had my whole rationale on why 516 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: I thought Derrick Henry was the league MVP, because I 517 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: thought he's the only non quarterback in the league where 518 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: if you take away this player, this team doesn't get 519 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: maybe anywhere. Right, There's no other team you could say 520 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: that about. Like you could say the Chiefs, Mahomes MVP, Cannabate, 521 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: But if you take away any player in the Chiefs, 522 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: it doesn't reduce their ability to get far in the 523 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: playoffs or maybe even win a championship. But the Titans, 524 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: you take away that one player, Derek Henry, and all 525 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're like, are they nine and seven? 526 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: This is last year? Are they nine and seven? Are 527 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: they seven and nine? I mean, what are they? They're 528 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: not as good? We know that, and there aren't too 529 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: many teams you can say that about regarding non quarterbacks. 530 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: That's why I thought Henry was the MVP of the league. 531 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: I would have said Henry and Luan as well. Luan, 532 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: I think he's grown on me over the years. Is 533 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,479 Speaker 1: some of the Shenanigans that can't Ad don't really care for. 534 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: But he's starting himself into a really dark, good left 535 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: tackle on this league. The only reason I would have 536 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: said the Colts now, I wouldn't have said it over 537 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: the Titans. I feel like Quinton Nelson is the soul 538 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: of that Colts team. The way he plays sets the 539 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: tone for that entire team. And without him, yes, I 540 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: know he's a guardic and all that, but without him, 541 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: the Colts aren't the Colts, you know. I know for 542 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: us they will always be the Cults. But with him, 543 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: he just adds he's their soul and when he is 544 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: just just breaking a guy and crushing him, and I 545 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: think they feed on that kind of stuff. And yes, 546 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor Derrick Henry right now, it's not really comparison, 547 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: but Jonathan Taylor's whale back. We saw that in the 548 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: second half of the season song twice. But I'm with you, 549 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: I would take I would take Henry Lue just because 550 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: I would want Henry out. Okay, there are two quarterbacks 551 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: that the Texans are facing in twenty twenty one again 552 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: that they faced last year. However, they're both in different situations. Okay, 553 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: more lethal quarterback situation facing the Texans in twenty twenty 554 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: one after facing this quarterback in twenty twenty Matt Stafford 555 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: with the La Rams or facing Baker Mayfield in September 556 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: with OBJ back and good weather. Right, this was a 557 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: great either or I'm very proud of myself for coming 558 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: up with this one. Which one is more dangerous? Stafford 559 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: with McVeigh and cup in woods and with the Rams 560 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: or Baker Mayfield fresh out the gate on a good 561 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: weather day, presumably with OBJ back on his side. You 562 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: know a lot of these national pundits are looking at 563 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: the Rams with Stafford there and licking their chops and 564 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: thinking this is gonna be amazing. Right, then, Goff just 565 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: hamstrung dam limited them. He was a boat anchor on 566 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: their chances to get far and do well once they 567 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: got there. They scored three points on a Super Bowl 568 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: My goodness, how do you do that and yet wave 569 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: Phillip's defense holding the Patriots a thirteen and you can't 570 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: get fourteen points on the board. Oh my gosh, I 571 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: can only imagine the paying ram nation. But Baker in September, 572 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: Now here's Chubb has a little situation, right, Uh don't. 573 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: I don't think so, not that I know. Maybe maybe 574 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: it does. Oh no, no, no, he doesn't, he doesn't. 575 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: He's okay, he'll be okay. See that's bad Chubb running 576 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: the ball in September, good weather and everybody healthy. Really 577 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: it's weak. I mean, Baker couldn't even neither couldn't Sean. 578 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: But neither Baker nor Sean could throw the ball at 579 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: all in that game because the wins were so bad. 580 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: But now you face him in September, and he's got 581 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: to be Jay back, and of course the running game 582 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: is gonna be fresh. You would think in week two, 583 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still taking Stafford. I'm still taking Stafford. Yeah. Look, 584 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: I know you got him at home potentially, Yeah, but 585 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: you know that that is a potentially lethal situation if 586 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: McVeigh and him. Look, I I it's kind of like 587 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: the way I look at wins. Right. Look, this thing 588 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: hasn't always worked out. In fact, more often than not, 589 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: it hasn't Like Stafford four winning seasons since two thousand 590 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: and nine, when he came into the league. That's not 591 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: a ton of success, right, So there we go. H 592 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: Now I'm looking at you know Mayfield, saying, all right, Mayfield, 593 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: as I watched him last year down the stretch, he 594 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: misses some really makeable throws, but then he makes some 595 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: throws that are really hard to make, right, and they 596 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: the ball. Well, they're playing solid D. And then while 597 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: you get to the divisional round, I still say it's Stafford, 598 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: though the ceiling of Stafford is ridiculously high. With the 599 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: La Rams, I mean, they get it going on D. 600 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: They get it going with those with the running backs, 601 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: I mean and Stafford and all the stuff, the play 602 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: action and the bootlegs that McVay can run. Oh my gosh, 603 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: could that be good with Stafford? What if that are? 604 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: What if what if Julio ends up with the Rams? Well, 605 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: they got nothing to give for that, right, I guess not, 606 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: But I mean maybe they give it twenty twenty seven 607 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: draft pick. I got nothing. I mean, I got nothing 608 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: to like the thirties. Okay. I don't know how this 609 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: popped up on Twitter over the weekend. I don't know 610 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: what the genesis of it was. I just saw this 611 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: retweet and it came from a guy named Bud Elliott. 612 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: He does recruiting for twenty four seven, recruiting stuff for 613 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: twenty four seven, flutter steak guy. And he essentially said, 614 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here, but pretty close. If Cam Newton had 615 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: been the quarterback, University of Texas would have blown out 616 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: USC in the two thousand and six Rose Bowl. So 617 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: who are you taking? Is Bud Elliott? Right, You're going 618 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: either Vy or Cam? Who would you take? Look, I 619 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: know that Camp's done better in the NFL, that is clear, 620 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: But this is college we're talking about. So we're gonna 621 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 1: go back to campus here. How many national championships did 622 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning win with the University of Tennessee. They finally 623 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: break through the year after he leaves a t bus. Okay, 624 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: so these things happen all the time, So it doesn't 625 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: mean the guy sucks as an overall quarterback in his career. 626 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: Cam Newton is great. We all know that, or has 627 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: been great. We should say it that way. Vince Young 628 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: with that Longhorn team, there was magic in the year, 629 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: all right, That year was able. Let's throw the ball 630 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: a lot better than the year before. He approved the 631 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: second to last year, to his final year at the 632 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: forty Acres when he beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl. 633 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: He was running crazy, right, opening game they played what 634 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: Ohio State? Correct? And second yeah, yeah, he threw the 635 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: all his second game of year through the ball very well, 636 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden we're like, oh, he could 637 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: throw it a lot better than he could the year before. 638 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: The passing game is more effective than it was the 639 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 1: year before, and I was like, that's gonna be very dangerous, 640 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: and it was. And then the running game was ridiculous, 641 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: So I don't believe that that would have been the case. 642 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: My two cents. Now, you're okay. You got one game, 643 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: m nine innings, sixty minutes, forty eight minutes, meaning you 644 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: got football, basketball, baseball, no matter the sport. Right, you 645 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: got a one man booth. Right, you're taken either Kurt 646 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: Gowdy or Vince Scully. Oh Scully even for Yeah, I look, 647 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: I like Kirk Goudy, but Johnny, go back and listen, 648 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 1: go back, no, go back to go back and listen 649 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: to Goudy and you'll be like Scully. Scully definitely kind 650 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: of love listening to his voice, though Kirk Gowdy's voice 651 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: with voice, you know, and it's kind of like athletes themselves. 652 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying announcers are better today, but they do 653 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: certain things better. Right, Jim McKay doing the Olympics was 654 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: so elite, and especially look when the way you handled 655 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 1: the hostage situation in Munich was incredible. It gives me chills. 656 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: Cost Us a better announcer technically, yes, there's no. I mean, 657 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: Constus is just about better than everybody and everything. You know, 658 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: I could probably do surgery. I don't know, but it's 659 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: a you know, broadcasting. Somebody once told me I've used 660 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 1: this line before. He said, broadcasts. Some people like blonde, 661 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: some people like brunettes. David Halberstamp said that he's on 662 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: Twitter and hecasters, but he's right. You know, a lot 663 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: of it subjective and it's who you like. Look, Dick 664 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 1: Stockton done. I love Dick Stockton's voice. I mean that's 665 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: that voice is electric to me. You know, certain voices 666 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: do certain things for you. Uh, you know NaN's calling 667 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: golf versus Dan Hicks versus Mike Tarico or whoever. You know, 668 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 1: people have different you know, cups of tea for different sports. Look, 669 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,439 Speaker 1: I Al Michael's is tremendous football announcer. I think, look, 670 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: I like listening to Joe Buck doing a football game. 671 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: You know, I think Nance does a pretty solid football game. 672 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: I think I an Eagle doesn't really solid. I love 673 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: Tarco too, Like there are a lot of good guys, 674 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: but I don't know, they're just different voices that you like. 675 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: I think Scully though, for all sports. Scully, actually I 676 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: forget he didn't do it for Did he do it 677 00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: for television? He called the catch? Yeah, yeah, tell us 678 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 1: all right, so he called it for television. And I 679 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: think Jack Buck did it on the radio. Yes, that's true. 680 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: Here we go. And did those guys both do the 681 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: Kirk Gibson home run but in opposite fashion? Yeah? Because 682 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: the TV? Yes, that's amazing. Now those two guys did that. 683 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: Did those two moments? I believe? Man. I hear Kurt 684 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: Gotty's voice though, and I'm just like, ah, well, you're right, 685 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: Vin Scully. You know so Goudy did I told you 686 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: this before? I think the eighty seven replacements season the Patriots. 687 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: He got the job to do Patriots radio that year. 688 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: So he gets the job and all of a sudden 689 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: it's replacements, not in a good time in his life. 690 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: Either not good because like all brand new guys. And 691 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: this guy's a plumber from bill Ricka and he's doing 692 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, this guy's from Shrewsbury and he's he's a plumber, 693 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,919 Speaker 1: but he's a really good football player. So he's gonna 694 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: play left tackle the Patriots. I mean, whoa, that's awesome. Mark, 695 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thanks Jetty. All right, 696 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: we get back. We'll go round the NFL and Rodgers 697 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: not at OTAs. What does it mean? We'll do that 698 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: next on Texas Access. We got one found sem this 699 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: Monday Dash the Texas All Access from the Honday Texans 700 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: Radio studio. Glad to be with you. I'm your host, 701 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter. Hopefully it's nice and dry. Finally, 702 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 1: hopefully we can get a couple of nice dry days. 703 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the case, but I'd love 704 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: to turn to the last segment into weather channel. But 705 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: we'll talk a little football and go round the NFL. 706 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 1: I saw this news today and actually it's a team 707 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: on the Texas schedule. But I can't wait to see 708 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: Derwin James this year for the Chargers. He's really missed 709 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: most of the last two years, and it's just been 710 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: gut wrenching because after a rookie year. Rookie was twenty eighteen. 711 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: He was phenomenal twenty eighteen. I thought, this guy is 712 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,240 Speaker 1: going to string together the career. I thought he could. 713 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: I had him. I had him. I think rated relatively 714 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: high in the Harris one and twenty eighteen, and then 715 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: he ended up going to twenty sixteen. All right, I 716 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,879 Speaker 1: think it was number sixteen to the Chargers on thump. Well, 717 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: that's a great spot for him. Bosum, Melvin Ingraham and 718 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: all these players, and now they've got Chris Harris and thought, oh, 719 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: Derwin James is the piece that keeps all together. He 720 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: just hasn't been able to stay healthy seasonating injuries and 721 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: just shut him now. But today Brandon Staley said that 722 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: the medical staff in LA has cleared him for everything. 723 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: He'll be ready to go. And here's hoping that when 724 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: the Texans faced the Chargers late in the year, we 725 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: do see Derwin James. Yeah, I know, I probably won't 726 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: feel that way once I see Derwyn James playing the 727 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: way I think he can. But it's not a vision 728 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 1: opponent there's certain guys around the league got cheered for 729 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: it just because I think they deserve it, and Derwin 730 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 1: James is kind of guy that definitely deserves to be 731 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: on the field. I got out on the field right now, 732 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: and I know a lot is being made of it. 733 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: Is Aaron Rodgers. Now, he typically he has been at OTAs. 734 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: I think that's why this one is sort of resonating. 735 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 1: We know what if you've follow the NFL at all, 736 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: we know that Aaron Rodgers has been not happy with 737 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: the Packers and Brian Gunucaus, the general manager there with 738 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: Green Bay, but he typically has been at OTAs. Again, 739 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 1: I say this about ots and I know this will 740 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: happen when we get a chance to go out to 741 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: OTAs would be media members. I won't do it. I 742 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: don't do this. Some media members are going to tweet, well, 743 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: this guy's not here, this guy's not here. There's a 744 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 1: word that goes with OTAs, and that's a voluntary. But 745 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 1: I think why this one kind of triggered for people 746 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: was the fact that Aaron Rodgers is typically there. Even 747 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,399 Speaker 1: though it is voluntary, he is typically on hand. He 748 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: is not I'm not sure what that means with Green Bay. Look, 749 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 1: we understand what we got our own quarterback situation here 750 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: that there's not much that went on other than reiteration 751 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 1: today about not being there for Ota sort of Seawan 752 00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: Watson is so we kind of get it in some sense, 753 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 1: but it might be more work for Jordan Love. This 754 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: is what the Packers, I guess wanted, maybe a year 755 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: or two from now, maybe not right away, but they 756 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:14,280 Speaker 1: eventually wanted Jordan Love to replace Aaron Rodgers, and maybe 757 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: this is what's happening. Who knows. We'll see what happens 758 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: with this. There so much smoke around the Broncos being 759 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 1: interested in Rogers, but him not being there, I wouldn't 760 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 1: lose a lot of sleep. I guess they are voluntary. 761 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: If he misses minicamp, that is mandatory, and that might 762 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: be a different deal. But Aaron Rodgers not at OTA's 763 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 1: one team that has had some internal discussions apparently about 764 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: Julio Jones. And this matters because Julio said there was 765 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: a quarterback he wanted to play with. And it's not 766 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: your usual suspects. It's not Mahomes or Lamar Jackson or 767 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: even Matt Ryan. At that point, Julio Jones said he 768 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: wanted to play with Cam Newton and the New England 769 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: Patriots have been having some internal discussions about bringing in 770 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: Julio Jones. Holy smokes, they've already signed. I don't know 771 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: how many free agents feel like I signed the entire league, 772 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: John Y Smith, Hunter Henry at tight end. They brought 773 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: in Kendrick Bourne at wide receiver, amongst others. Nelson Aguilar 774 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: there also signed. And you put a Julio on that squad. 775 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: Oh boy, if that could help out Cam or Mac 776 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 1: or Stidham or Jawyer. I don't know. They got four quarterbacks. 777 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: We'll figure it out, I guess. But apparently they're talking 778 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: about Julio Jones and what it would take to go 779 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: get Julio, which would be very scary over in the AFC. 780 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 1: Hopefully that doesn't happen, but I'd rather see happen in 781 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: New England. I would Indianapolis or Tennessee. I'll tell you that, 782 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: all right, big thanks to Mark for being here, Joanna 783 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: back in studio. It's all of you guys who listening. 784 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. It means so much for you 785 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,240 Speaker 1: guys to support us on a daily basis. Thank you again. 786 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: We will see you tomorrow and as always, go Texan.
