19
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: in a very deep group and interesting group. They're gonna

20
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: be some tough cuts there, but let's get to it

21
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: hot reads. We start off every day with this stuff.

22
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: So after the day off, back to it. Day six,

23
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: and I think the schedule is worth noting here. This

24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: has been the best camp ever in Houston so far.

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: I have to say that because what you have here

26
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: schedule wise, and also the way I'm gonna knock wood.

27
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna knock whatever I can knock relatively good with

28
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: the injury bugs so far this squad, I'm gonna say

29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: that this is the best start they've had in camp.

30
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: And Mark, what are you talking about? What do you

31
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: mean the best start? We don't know how they're gonna do.

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about through five days of practice, That's

33
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. Because they've done outside, inside, outside, inside,

34
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: outside today. I think they'll be inside. We'll let you

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: know as soon as we know. And tomorrow is gonna

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: be the first open practice. Friday is a day off, okay.

37
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Then they go back to it on Saturday. Right here,

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: another open practice. Sunday, it's listed as a travel day.

39
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: They'll do something as a team and they fly to

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: Green Bay and practice the packers Monday Tuesday. I think

41
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: they've handled this weather situation. They've got the meat locker

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: over there. They've handled it as well as you can

43
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: handle it so far. Anyway. Yea, as Rocky said that

44
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: meat locker, ain't so bad, ain't so bad. I went

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: in there just a little while ago. Difference is when

46
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: you go in there and it's you know, thirty degrees

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: or twenty five degrees, whatever it is, and then you

48
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: go back outside and you're like, it's like a seventy

49
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: degree different, like your buddy's like, but you're supposed to

50
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: stay in there for a minimal amount of time to

51
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: really cool everything down. While stayed there for ten seconds, yeah,

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: so that doesn't do anything. Then you're just like, well

53
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: where am I? What am I doing? But you still

54
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: feel the temperature different definitely to your point about handling

55
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: practice and inside and outside and acclimating and all that,

56
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: I just think the timing of everything has worked out

57
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: for them too. I mean, I think it's it's worked perfect.

58
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: With the way you just mentioned it. Those first five days,

59
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: I can imagine the players are looking at saying the

60
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: same thing as us, like okay, not so much a

61
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: let's just get through these first five days, but I

62
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: can see them thinking that's a pretty long stretch. And

63
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: then we get our day off and then it's like

64
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: bang bang Wednesday Thursday. But hey, we get another day

65
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: off on a Friday, and then and then we change

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: things up with a flight to Green Bay and then

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: change things up with seeing it from Colored Jersey, and

68
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: then boom, before you know, it's preseason game one and

69
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: now you're now you're in it. Now you're in it.

70
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: And then you bring the Lions in the next week,

71
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: and now you're now you're counting down at that point,

72
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: especially for the top twenty two to twenty five guys.

73
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: Now you start kind of winding down to get ready

74
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: for September ninth against the Saints, where there is some

75
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: news about a wide receiver for the new Saints now

76
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: the highest paid wide receiver in football, Michael Thomas just

77
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: got a massive new deal. So it's like the I emoji,

78
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: those double eye emoji, every wide receiver, every DeAndre Hopkins,

79
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: a j green, Julio Jones looking at that saying, hey,

80
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, who is trying to work on a contract

81
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: with the Falcons, is like, who okay now, Julio has

82
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: said he's not he's not looking for that kind of mine.

83
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: And by the way, we'll get into this a little bit.

84
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: Texas final two players made the top one hundred last night. No,

85
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: there's more going tonight. The top ten is going tonight,

86
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: but no more Texans because they put DeAndre Hopkins at eleven.

87
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: They had JJ wat at twelve, they had j they

88
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: had DeAndre Hopkins at eleven. And then a lot of

89
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: people say, well, if you're gonna complain, then who you're

90
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna take out of top ten? Oh, I can tell you.

91
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: I can tell you a couple of guys for sure,

92
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: I take out of top ten? Who von Miller? Brady

93
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: Chubb was as dangerous as von Miller was Last year,

94
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: von Miller did not have a great year, admitted he

95
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: admitted he did not have a great show. So it's

96
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: just like Pro Bowl voting. Sometimes these players vote for

97
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: the other guys and sometimes it's a little off. Yeah,

98
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: but Hopkins, you know this hundred list is No, it's

99
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: the same thing for the players. The highest rated offensive

100
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: lineman was in the mid thirties, David Bactieri. Come on, man,

101
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: are you serious? I mean the offensive line and defensive line,

102
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: Like that's he's the best left tackle in football. Yeah,

103
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: he's tremendous. Yeah, and he plays the Packers. By the way,

104
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna see him next week, him next week. So

105
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: that's gonna be fun and see these pass rushers get

106
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: a chance to go against the best in the league.

107
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, David Bactieri fourth rounder. So yeah,

108
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: I love that. I'm glad you brought that up. You

109
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: never know where they come from. Let's give it a

110
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: minute here with some of these young bucks they have

111
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: going out the front. But I love the schedule so far.

112
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: We'll see how it pans out. I'll tell you not

113
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: to look ahead too far. But after that Green Bay game,

114
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: it kind of gets interesting because you'll go Saturday, Sunday, Monday,

115
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Tuesday day off, then Lions Lions Friday day off, and

116
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: the Lions game the home preseason opener here at NRG Stadium.

117
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of a long week, but

118
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: we'll see how they play it. O'Brien can adjust on

119
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: the fly. Look, they've got the catapult system. That's the

120
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: one that monitors the players as the moor guy. Just

121
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: why don't just park it over here, right? Right in

122
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: my you know, right in my broadcast area. And he's

123
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: going to reverse it. Oh yeah, I know. He's like

124
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: he backed it off just to rub it in that

125
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: he was mowing the law near our broadcast position him. Well,

126
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: these these headsets are great that our engineer George A.

127
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: Riaga has set up. Okay, I want to talk about

128
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: this though. Next top read as we've seen. Oh wait,

129
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: that's I wasn't calling for that just yet. Why don't

130
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: want Why don't we go ahead and play that though?

131
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this. This is Mike Vrabel. Yesterday

132
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: the Titans were doing a community thing and Rabel was

133
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: talking about the starting quarterback for the Houston Texans, and

134
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, he used to work here, and he was

135
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: talking about Watson giving his game check to the cafeteria

136
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: workers following Hurricane Harvey because they suffered such a loss.

137
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: And Rabel learned something from then twenty one year old

138
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: to shun Watson. Let's hear it. There was a hurricane

139
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: in Houston and people that lived in our building and

140
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: worked in our buildings, excuse me, their homes and cars

141
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: were devastated by the hurricane. And this young man took

142
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: his game check, and he gave it to the people

143
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: that worked in our cafeteria. And when we asked him why,

144
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: he said, those who can must, And I was embarrassed

145
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: that I didn't I learned something from a twenty one

146
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: year old kid, the quarterback of our football team. And

147
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: we will still try to sack them, and I will

148
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: still have Jirell try to find ways to knock him down,

149
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: and would and knock him down. But I think that

150
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: that day I decided that those who can must. All right, well,

151
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: I hope you just try to take it easier than that,

152
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, since he taught you something, please, yeah,

153
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: give him a break, and those who can must Look,

154
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: this organization is all about that, obviously, really helping out

155
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: the victims of Hurricane Harvey. JJ Watt, the NFL, the

156
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: Houston Texans of course, about doing great things in the

157
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: greater Houston area and beyond. But I love that he

158
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: brought that up in front of a Titans crowd about

159
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for the Houston Texans. That was pretty cool. Yeah,

160
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: it was very cool when I saw that. I can't

161
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: remember who who posted immediately or retweeted it, because I did.

162
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: I thought it. I thought It was great, you know,

163
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: coming from Vrabel, who doesn't pull any punches. I mean,

164
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: he is as brutally honest as anybody we've ever had

165
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: in this building. And to hear him say that, I

166
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: thought that was that was pretty cool. On a side note,

167
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: the mustache is gonna go for ye yeah, mustache. You know,

168
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: every time I see a picture of him, it's like

169
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: Super seventy Sports on Twitter. I mean, it's like one

170
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: of those guys. Even maybe the Quentin Nelson fu Man

171
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: shot is the mustache coming back without the beer. Because

172
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: the beard is so in right now. The facial hair

173
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: is so in. Is fine, like a beard is fine.

174
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: They see if ray want a beard, I'm fine with that.

175
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: But the straight up mustache. Although I'm gonna do a

176
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: favorite everybody listening right now. If you're in sales, shaved

177
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: that thing off, shave it all off, Go go clean,

178
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: fresh face, don't don't put the don't put the facial

179
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: hair on. If you're in sales, what are you crazy?

180
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: Go in there fresh face, be a breath of fresh air.

181
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: Don't go in there with that sinister look you're sporting. No,

182
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: not in sales. That's my listen, this is me talking.

183
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: That's my opinion there. Okay. Now, quarterback depth. We heard

184
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: from very room out to Shaun Watson clearly a threat

185
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: to the Tennessee Titans and clean their clock in the

186
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: Monday night game last year, that unforgettable evening. Of course,

187
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: the Texans lost to the Titans up there, so I'll

188
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: split with them, and I really don't want to see

189
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: that this year. I want to see us sweep against

190
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: the arch rivals. But how about this quarterback depth in

191
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: this camp? Watson we mentioned him taking the first team

192
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: reps all offseason long, first franchise quarterback to do that

193
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: for this organization since twenty thirteen. I'm not gonna put

194
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: us Wilder in there in twenty sixteen because he really

195
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: wasn't a franchise quarterback. You were hoping he would become one,

196
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: but you didn't know it right, So I don't think

197
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: that counts, Johnny. But I'll say this, watching training camp

198
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: at twenty sixteen, watching every other training camp up until now,

199
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen this kind of depth because

200
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: you know how good Watson is, and then you look

201
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: at mccaren and look, it's not perfect out there. But

202
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: what I love about these guys is they're ryan things.

203
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: It looks interesting. The offense has a lot of different options,

204
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of experimentation out here, and I

205
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: really enjoy watching these guys work. And then you got

206
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: the third stringer and Joe Webb who can do just

207
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: about anything. So I like this quarterback death look. I

208
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: hearkened back to the days ten years ago, maybe more

209
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: more than ten years ago, because Rosenfeldts wasn't with the

210
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: team at O nine, but seven and eight when you

211
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: had Shob and Rosenfelds and they were slinging it in

212
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: the training camp period and the OTAs and that looked

213
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: really masterful, but it was against defenses that weren't so hot.

214
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: This defense is really good. These guys are really sharpening

215
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: each other's game out there, and it's fun to watch.

216
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: It is fun to watch. And one thing I really

217
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: like about what they're doing I used to get I

218
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: used to kind of frustrate, even with Shob in training

219
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: camp practice back when Matt was here, when they would

220
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: do certain periods and it was like they would take checkdowns.

221
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, not in practice, like I get checkdowns in

222
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: a game, like I get it nowhere your checkdown is

223
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: take it the game, that's fine, but in practice, push

224
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: the boundaries of what you can do. Like you shouldn't

225
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: have five checkdowns in a row in a certain period.

226
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: They're not. I mean they'll throw one every now and again. Yeah,

227
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: but to get the backs involved. But for the most part,

228
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: they're throwing the ball down the field. The wide receivers

229
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: are tight ends have got so many targets it's crazy.

230
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: But that's great. That's what you need. But I used

231
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: to get so frustrated because it's like, all right, now

232
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: it's open to take the check down, Like, I know,

233
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: you've got to work on that to it. Agree, you

234
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: do have to work on the short Yeah, it's it's

235
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: kind of like that certain aspect of your short gaming

236
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: go off. You do have to work on it. You

237
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: have to work on the three foot play, but you've

238
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: got to be able to make sure you could drive

239
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: the intermediate throw that what's the timing on this sail route?

240
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: What's the timing on this on his deno ride? Like

241
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: what do you have to hit? And if you get

242
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: picked in practice, Okay, great, you got picked in practice,

243
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: don't That hasn't happened much. That's good. That hasn't happened

244
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: much to them. So I've written about Aja each and

245
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: every day. He's made some brilliant throws, I think, and

246
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: every day he seems to be getting better. I'll take listen,

247
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: if four goes down, we're all gonna be crying in

248
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: our beer, but or a water or whatever you d

249
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: whatever beverage you have, beverage. But if AJ's got to

250
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: go in a game, you know, Sean lil dinged up,

251
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: he's got to come out for a few plays, and

252
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: AGA's gotta go. And remember that that Pittsburgh game. And

253
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know that I remember, but the twenty

254
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: seventeen Christmas Night game against Pittsburgh and TJ was in

255
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: and then TJ came out, and then Tyler Taylor Heineke

256
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: went in and then he came out. Like one of

257
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: those situations where AJ would have to go in, I'd

258
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: feel confident running anything that I have in the arsenal

259
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: With Aj out on a field, Yeah he could. He

260
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: could move better than a lot of people thought yet

261
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: that way. So so he's getting around out there, and

262
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: it's a good acquisition for this team to get a younger,

263
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: hungry quarterback. Not that Wheaton wasn't hungry. Wheedon was good,

264
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: but and you know, obviously won a couple of games

265
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: with him back in twenty fifteen. But this is a

266
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: guy who wants to keep the career moving forward, hopefully

267
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: play somewhere or else someday. Well, right now, he's here

268
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: to help this team get better. That's what you want

269
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: to see out here. You also want to see Zach Cunningham.

270
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from him. Twelve questions with Cunningham, Who's

271
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: an interesting guy. Clain's gonna be out of eight thirty.

272
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna break down the d line. At nine o'clock.

273
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: It's Texans Training cab Live. It's Texans Training cab Live.

274
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: It's Texas. It's back to football and you're back on

275
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: the sideline at training camp with Texans Radio Mark padermaron

276
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: John Harris field side. It looks like they're gonna be

277
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: at the practice bubble today for day six of training

278
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: camp again inside outside, inside, outside, kind of scheduling here

279
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: and tomorrow's the first open practice right here now Green Bay.

280
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: Apparently it's in the fifties today, which is pretty cool,

281
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: so that'll be nice for the team next week. But

282
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: we'll see what it gets to. And Jonesy back at

283
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: the studio was actually saying, well, or at some point,

284
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be eighty. Year it was eighty, and I'm

285
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: thinking you're complaining about eighty. You're complaining eighty. If it

286
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: was eighty, here, the women would get their boots on,

287
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: get out the first Yes, gave me a parka eighty

288
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: How beautiful are you kidding? I'd take eighty and a harp.

289
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: This is a good day for them to be inside,

290
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: because today looks like a steamy one. Yeah, it's very human.

291
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: There's no wind right now. I ran this morning and

292
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: it was not it was not exceedingly hot. Yeah, but

293
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: I felt a humidity. I'm like, oh, yeah, you're it

294
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: was a lightning storm last night, so there's still some

295
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: of that humidity around. I gotta be a nice cold

296
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: front coming. I thought so too. I was all excited

297
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: a storm was coming from the north. I'm like, great,

298
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna bring the cold. They are in day the

299
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: day they're bringing it in. No anyway, Uh, here they

300
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: are inside the bubble today. In all likelihood, we'll tell

301
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: you as they file into the bubble what we're observing

302
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: and that's the part you don't want to miss. You

303
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: want to be listening for the next forty five minutes.

304
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,640

307
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,600

346
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: me the best part of training camp is the jokes.

347
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,960

Speaker 1: have a favorite song you play on the guitar? No,

366
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: not really. I just like to fiddle around, come up

367
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 1: with stuff, learned different things. How often do you get

368
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: to play now that you're a football player. I haven't

369
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: been playing it as often as I should be. It's

370
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: just been a minute. Zach Cunningham, thank you for taking

371
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: a minute with us. This has been a dirty doesn't

372
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: thank you all right? Zach kind of still has the

373
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: rookie invasion of the body snatchers thing going on. Or

374
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: he just it was after practice and didn't feel like

375
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: getting into too many details. I p if somebody says

376
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: they play an instrument, never asked them what their favorite

377
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: song is to play. Nobody's got a favorite song to play.

378
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been playing guitar for a thousand years.

379
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't have a favorite song to play. I might

380
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: have one lately, I don't have a favorite song. You

381
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: asked them what their style is, you know, what what

382
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: what kind of music do they play? They'll answer that. Okay,

383
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: not to criticize Drew's interviewing skills, but I guess I

384
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: just did. I mean, we could have a nice little

385
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: Texas jam band and who doesn't remember what? All? Right?

386
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: So you don't. And here's another thing. Asking a favorite

387
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: things sometimes tough. You give me like two or three

388
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: of your favorite shows growing up, you know that way

389
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: you don't have to pick a favorite because it's hard

390
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: to the number one ranking. I don't know. I don't

391
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: have my BCS childhood show computer with me, right, so

392
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: you know I could tell you Speed Racer when I

393
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: was a kid. I can tell you a lot of things.

394
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was my favorite, but I

395
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: know I watched it, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

396
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. When I when I heard

397
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: him say that, I was like, man, what was mine?

398
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: So I'm still kind of I'm trying to think. I

399
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: used to like watching Tom. I love Tom and Jerry.

400
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why Tom and Jerry carts so they're

401
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: so violent, I know, but this was before that's football personality.

402
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: I just like Tory. It was always the chase I

403
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: always wanted. I always wanted Tom to win and he

404
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: never won. It was like the Washington Generals. You know,

405
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: you watched the Harlem Globe Trotters and the Washington the

406
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: Generals are gonna win this one. Nope, So my six

407
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: years we're gonna win. My six year old knows nothing

408
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: about Bugs Bunny, right because it's yea, but well yeah

409
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 1: we did. But they don't know anything, although my thirteen

410
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: year old does because he's seen space jams. So that's it.

411
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 1: So and the part two is coming out. But when

412
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: you go back and watch some of the old Bugs

413
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: Bunny and uh Tom and Jerry cartoons, right, there's some

414
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: things on those shows that probably would not fly now, Oh,

415
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: probably really something local incorrect. Oh, there's a lot of inappropes. Oh,

416
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of inappropes. Okay, we go. Anybody love

417
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: them though. Kind of a part of a deep linebacking corps,

418
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: which is nice. And you got some guys that are

419
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: trying to get a spot on the roster. They're gonna

420
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: have to shine on special teams. I know, I know

421
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: the listeners are think. Man, you guys talk a lot

422
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: about special teams. Believe me, they spent a lot of

423
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: time out here on special teams. It is the most

424
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: boring part of football practice to watch because they can't

425
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: go full out on special teams. You just can't. But

426
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: it's so important and everybody's gonna be patient. Like during

427
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: the open practice tomorrow, go ahead, don't complain. Let them

428
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: practice special teams. They improved dramatically. I mean, top two

429
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: in average drives and that is huge right there, those

430
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: hidden yards huge. So let them do their thing, even

431
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: though it's not much fun to watch during practice. The

432
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: same people complaining about the production of the special teams

433
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: in years prior, the same ones complaining about they need

434
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: too much special teams in practice. Listen, the only way

435
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna get better at it is to practice. And

436
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: the Texans have done that. There's there's no question. They've

437
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: improved personnel, they've improved the coaching, they've improved their overall execution.

438
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: It's it's really become agree. Look, you don't have to

439
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: you don't have to like it. But at the practice field, yeah,

440
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: but you better love it when you get inside Energy

441
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: Stadium on Sunday on Sunday afternoons. Absolutely, I mean that's

442
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: what you gotta win if you. I still say, though,

443
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: see if Bill O'Brien asked me for my advice, which

444
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: never happens, but if he did, I would say, just

445
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: kick it to the goal line every time, if you

446
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: possibly can. I want to tempt that return. I want

447
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: to take my chances on covering and pinning a guy

448
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: inside the twenty five. I feel really good that the

449
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: analytics would say if I kick it to the goal line,

450
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: which I know is easier said than done times with

451
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: conditions and everything, and sometimes, oh my gosh, you kicked

452
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: it to the ten and now he's out at the

453
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: thirty five. But I think more often than not, you

454
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: are gonna pin them inside the twenty five. So go

455
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: ahead and do that. Because I still that twenty five

456
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: yard lines start, Johnny, I'm still used to watching football

457
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: where a touchback is at the twenty, and it still

458
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: is for a punt. That twenty five yard line start

459
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: just feels so sometimes, you know, especially with these good

460
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 1: offenses you're facing, in these quarterbacks, you're thinking out, I mean,

461
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: I just gave that a seventy five yard field. I

462
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: don't like this. I mean that feels like two two

463
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: intermediate throws and you're at least knocking an ador a

464
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: field goal. Right. Yeah, McClean thinks I'm nitpicking. I think

465
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: I think we'll hear from him. Well, I mean, you know,

466
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: to that end, you haven't experienced kicker. Now that does

467
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: a pretty good job of that. So I think that's

468
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 1: one thing. And then number two, do you trust your

469
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: cover units? And I think I think you have to, Yeah,

470
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: because of what you've done. So I think to your point,

471
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: I think we will see more of that. How about

472
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: Belichick in the twenty sixteen game up there week three?

473
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: They can run it back? Yeah, make him run it,

474
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: make him return and make up return it. Let's be

475
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: those guys. Let's be aggressive like that. Well, I think that,

476
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: I think. And but it done it, We've done it,

477
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: We've done it. I think not all the time. I mean,

478
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe you can't do it all the time.

479
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think it takes a couple of things.

480
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: I think it takes an experienced kicker, and I think

481
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: it takes really good cover units. And I think now

482
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: now you have now you have both. Do you have confidence,

483
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Do you have confidence in doing it?

484
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: I mean, remember the Jets game. The Jets game, they

485
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: take the lead in the fourth quarter right before a

486
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: game or game when they take the lead in the

487
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and we get a fifteen yard penalty. Something happened.

488
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: We got a fifteen yard penalty. So they move the

489
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: ball up to the fifty right, yea. So they try

490
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: and pin that thing down inside the five. And what

491
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: they do while bounced the two, Carter doesn't field it.

492
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: It goes in the end zone, he downs it. They

493
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: get nothing out of it. It's a little bit more

494
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: difficult to do. Yeah, if your pinanceide to five on

495
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: that one and you need to go take the lead,

496
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's tough. But with your kicker, with

497
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: Kimie Fairband, you should be able to do that. To

498
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: kickoff as opposed to a punt. Anyway, John McClain, we're

499
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna kick off with him at just a moment. He's

500
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: got a lot to share. We're gonna talk about a

501
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: few things, including them not limited to Jack Easterby's role

502
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: with the organization, because that came up on six ten

503
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: slot this morning from six to eight, and we'll get

504
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: into a day six of training camp on the field.

505
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 1: It's Texans Training Camp Live Camp Live. The Texans are

506
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: back in extra and you have a front rows seat.

507
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: It's Texans training Camp live on Texans Radio. Thank you

508
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: to our intern Amanda who brought out my big a

509
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: roster movie size it is. That's what I like. Man,

510
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: this is the good one. And boy we've got we've

511
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: got three interns in our department. And I used to

512
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 1: say when I was doing shows on six ten, are

513
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: starving unpaid interns because at that point we had starving

514
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: unpaid interns. Now they're they're paid, and I don't think

515
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: they're starving, but they might be. Who knows. John Acclaim

516
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: for the Easton Chronicle joins us. Now here a training

517
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: camp and they're inside the bubble today. For sure. General

518
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: is outside with us right now as we talk about

519
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: day six of training camp. And John, you were talking

520
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: to Seth and Sean earlier about Jack Easterby's role with

521
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: the organization, and you said, look, he helps out with

522
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: football ops, no question about it. And I think there's

523
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: some confusion football offs. Is that acquiring players? What is

524
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: not necessarily anyway it could be, but not necessarily Jack. Yeah,

525
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: So tell us about what you think football operations are

526
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: ordinarily under a general manager. As you guys know, that

527
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: includes medical training, equipment, nutrition, budgets. Things we see getting

528
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: done out here, a lot of it. You've got to

529
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: be organized, and you've got to be somebody who is

530
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: a good idea guy. And they've got multiple people, you know.

531
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: I think Khalil is outstanding, and so Easterby you're talking

532
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: about Kalil. Reid's been with this organization for a long time,

533
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: a great job and very popular with everyone. And so

534
00:25:53,640 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: Easterby is like that. Well, he overseas twenty two men

535
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: personnel department. He's worked closely with O'Brien on draft free agencies,

536
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: came over from the Jets last year under Brian Gane

537
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: last year. So he's the guy that's head of personnel

538
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: that Bill works with. Then, of course Chris Olsen oversees

539
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: the cap and contracts, and then there's football ops and

540
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: so anything O'Brian wants checked out or done, he may

541
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: say to Easterby, will evaluating this, come back with that.

542
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: There a lot of things being done here that Easterby

543
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: is suggested since he got here April first, and I

544
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: think that virtual reality room is one of them. And

545
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: so he's like Bill's right hand man. They're all kind

546
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: of like Bill's right in man, and then they answer

547
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: to Cal McNair. Cal wants to like his dad, and

548
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: Cal was right there was dead every step of the way.

549
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: It's not like Mark Davis when he came in the

550
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: last two or three years, Cal's been there. The mcnairs

551
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: have always wanted to be informed if you can show them, Okay,

552
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: this is going to cause four million dollars to move

553
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: camp to West Virginia. But this is why we think

554
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: it's good and will help the team win four million dollars.

555
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: So mcnaire's will spend a lot of money, like renewing

556
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: everything since the last year and has cost them a

557
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: lot of money because they're convinced by Bill O'Brien it

558
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: will help them win, and so easter me is his

559
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: right end man on anything Bill needs to get done.

560
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: But you know, overseeing football ops is a big chore.

561
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: It's a big chore. I mean we're looking at these

562
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: giant cooling systems out here. I mean everything ordering the sleds,

563
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: the porta potties, I mean, every tractors. Everything is part

564
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: of football operations and it's a huge operation. So you

565
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: need a lot of people. You need somebody to oversee it.

566
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: And you need a forward thinking mentality here because you

567
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: do have the virtual reality room, but then you have

568
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: state of the art upgrades and almost everything around the

569
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: football team. So that's crucial. And Jack is really helping

570
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: out without an awful lot. And one of the things

571
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: it's people get out, like when they made a couple

572
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: of personnel moves, the joke was, oh my god, we

573
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: managed to do that. We don't have a general manager. Yeah, well,

574
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: it's not about the title. It's about responsibilities. And the

575
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: one thing that I'm interested in is and I think

576
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: we talked about this the other day about O'Brien is

577
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: looking ahead and general managers always look ahead. Where a

578
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: lot of coaches, especially once in the last year, hoping

579
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: to get an extension. They want to win right now.

580
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: They want to make moves, spend big money for a

581
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: free agent. It might not work out. Do take spend

582
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: money and do everything you can win right and damn

583
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: the future. But based on the way they've handled everything,

584
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: it shows they do have an eye on the future.

585
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: They gave Jonathan Joseph a bump and pay a couple

586
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: of other players. I believe Nick DJ reader, Nick Martinal

587
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: get extensions before the season starts, and Deshaun Watson this

588
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: time next year, he won't be where Patrick Mahomes is.

589
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't think p year is gonna be. Contracts these

590
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are signing now will be a pittance compared with

591
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: what Watson and Mahomes will get a year from now.

592
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: And and so there's method to seeming madness, and it's

593
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: it's how you delegate who who is good in handling

594
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: their responsibility. Like all those departments we just mentioned have

595
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: people who in place to take care of all that,

596
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: but somebody's got to oversee it. That's Bill O'Brien with

597
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: Jack Eusterby at his side. The story of the virtual

598
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: reality room is it's pretty interesting because our buddy Tim Brock,

599
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: who runs are he's a charge of video for the team. Yeah,

600
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: they basically had decided they didn't have the room to

601
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: do it. They didn't they to build this creational space

602
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, they didn't have the space, and

603
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: Timmy walked in and said, look here's what you do,

604
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: and showed them everything how they were gonna do it.

605
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 1: Knocked down this wall, knocked down this wall. Oh you're

606
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: gonna lose the two meeting rooms. You're gonna do this,

607
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: and then you put it right here, and you can

608
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: extend this. You put the cameras here. He had the

609
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: whole thing set up, and they listened to him and

610
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: they were like, okay, let's go with it. And so

611
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: it was Timmy who ended up coming coming up with that,

612
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: coming up with that idea and that and Timmy falls

613
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: under football ops. You know something. Tell me they're very

614
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: with a communication in the building. People think because Bill's

615
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: Bill doesn't listen. Well, Brian always listens to his coaches.

616
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: He asked for ideas he has the players. He asked Watson,

617
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: tell me things that you think might work, and we'll

618
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: talk about him. We'll try to design something. If it works, great,

619
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: we'll put it in. If not, we want So it's

620
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: in a constant process, process that's evolving. We'll know a

621
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: whole lot more this time next year about how it's

622
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: all worked out. I believe that this time next year

623
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna have the same system in place. I don't

624
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: think necessarily have a general manager, including Nick Assario. John

625
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: through one week of practice, give me one thing that

626
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: you're a little bit more concerned about that you were

627
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: before training camp started. Give me something that through one

628
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: week of practice, you're like, Hey, maybe I'm not as

629
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: concerned about that. Oh, I like this topic. Even though

630
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: Titus Howard max Sharping have gone effortlessly so far, between

631
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: guard and tackle, you still got a lot of things

632
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: to determine up front. Nothing is set up front other

633
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: Nick Martin, he's not even out here, and so the

634
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: offensive line is still a big concern. An other area

635
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: of concern. Bradley Roby has done really well, and he's

636
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: coming off a mediocre season in Denver. Aaron Colvin coming

637
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: off a disappointing season. They like what they've seen so far,

638
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: but you know, what have we really seen from them?

639
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: We'll know more this time next week. So those two positions.

640
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: I feel better about corner like Lonnie Johnson, but he's

641
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: got to stay healthy. And the offensive line. Until we

642
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: see those pieces in place for the New Orleans opener,

643
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: we're not gonna have a good idea about who's gonna start.

644
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 1: Matt Khalil looks good out here, but now he's going

645
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: to take it to the next level. He's got a

646
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: bunch of tests that he's got to pass before he

647
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: shows them he can play left tackle the way they

648
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: want it played, which will allow Howard to play left guard.

649
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: I think there's a good chance the season could begin

650
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: in New Orleans with two rookie guards. Sharping we talked

651
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: about this other day, John about what a moller he is,

652
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: how physical he is. That sets a pace from players

653
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,239
Speaker 1: if you got a nasty guy up front, and he

654
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: can be as he gets more comfortable and more instinctive,

655
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: learns the system and gets it feels that he has

656
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: the confidence of offensive line coach Mike Devlin to do

657
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: things like that. I can't wait to see him when

658
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: he goes back, when he goes back basically home to

659
00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: Wisconsin to going to get drills, and we'll see just

660
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: how nasty he can be. And he is from Green Bay,

661
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean he is not just from Wisconsin. He could

662
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: get northern Illinois. He to still be around the state.

663
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: But it's a big deal. We're all talking about what

664
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: and him going back to Wisconsin and his favorite team

665
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: growing up. So it's Sharpie and I'm going back to

666
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: the side of the nineteen eighty two passing kick state

667
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: championship disaster. So there's that Wait, what happened? You choke?

668
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: I choked? I I thrumbled oh no. After I hit

669
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: a Shane Leckler punt, which was my worst and I'm

670
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: telling you, I'm winning this thing like it's over. The

671
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: ten year old division is done. And then I thrumbled,

672
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: Oh Johnny, how did that change your life? Did that?

673
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: Did you use that as a stop wanting to be

674
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback? So you didn't get a scholarship? And he

675
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: went to Brown? Yeah, I went to the defensive side

676
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: of the ball. Thank god. Jimmy Bernhardt r I p coach.

677
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: Thank god he never saw me throw a football. Do

678
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: you even know where Andy Reid and pem passing gig? No?

679
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: I was not the Andy Reid. I had it. I

680
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: had to win right there was right on those practice

681
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: fields at Don Hudson Center practice fields. You know. One

682
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: of the things, and I wrote about this today, they

683
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: wanted to get bigger and stronger the offensive line. If

684
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 1: indeed they begin against the Saints, it'll be the biggest

685
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: offensive line they've ever had. Six seven three hundred and

686
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: fifty one pound Chantrell Henderson at right tackle, six seven

687
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: three and fifteen pound, Matt khalil A left six five

688
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: three twenty two, Titus Howard it left in six six

689
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: three twenty seven, max sharping and right guard. And then

690
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: there's little old Nick Martin at center, assuming he's back. Yeah,

691
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: a little old Nick Martin indeed, who's six four, two

692
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: ninety five listed below three hundred. We're ruining our three

693
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: hundred sweep. Okay, So let's say Nick is not ready

694
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: and you've got to go. Let's see, let's see you

695
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: do put Let's see you put Zack in there at

696
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: center right. Are you're gonna is that the large Would

697
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: that be the largest average offensive line if you put

698
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,959
Speaker 1: Zack in there, because you're gonna average that, I would

699
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: think three. You know, it's funny because when when Kubiak

700
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 1: got here, they were they were big before. Right when

701
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: he got here, the thought was, oh, they're gonna get

702
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: a little smaller now, you know, eventually they got Myers

703
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: in here and all of that. With the zone blocking scheme,

704
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, you talked about guys like Tom Nalen, who

705
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: was not three hundred pounds right, No, Nay was not

706
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: Denver Head the lightest offensive line in the league because

707
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: Alexamas was all about hit that guy's zone block, get

708
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: out of the second level. Zach Fulton's last year in

709
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: Kansas City, he replaced the injured Mitch Morris, and they

710
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: said Fulton played better anytime than he played. And after

711
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: that season they I was talking to people in the

712
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: organization and who covered the team, said the universal feeling

713
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: was he was a better center than guard. So if

714
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: something were to happen, you know, if if Max Sharping

715
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: could start at right guard, it wouldn't surprise me at

716
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: all if Fulton didn't start at center of Greg Man.

717
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: I love how they list the weights here though, like

718
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: Fulton is listed at three twenty one, three twenty one.

719
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean he might be twenty two today or three

720
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: twenty of course, but they you know, I always ask

721
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: please give us anchord waits because they've worked throughout the

722
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: off season to either gain or lose, so they always

723
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: say they will right before this season. Look, Vince will

724
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: Fork was listen at three twenty five ten years says

725
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: Junior High. He was three twenty five and seventh grade.

726
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: So he never always laugh. I chuckled, what I would

727
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: see that we get the scale, can we? So? So

728
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,959
Speaker 1: like every time I've been to the doctor the last

729
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: few years for a physical, they go, how much do

730
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: you wait? I go too, She writes down two, and

731
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: I said, muc h. She said, no, we need to

732
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: just step on the scales. I said, no, you got

733
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: to step on the scales. No, okay, So they just

734
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: put a line through it. Trying around the league. Should

735
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck retire now because of this calf injury? I

736
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: think it's a good idea he should. Actually he should

737
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: take off the season, come back and play for the

738
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: XL XL. Say the league publicity, you know, they say

739
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: they're not worried. They anytime the quarterbacks out, you gotta

740
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: be worried about it, no matter if it's calf, you know.

741
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: Frank Reich brought up what happened to Kevin Durant calf

742
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: became Achilles didn't. Luck disputed. Dad said, this does not

743
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: make my achilles more susceptible to being torn. But because

744
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: of what happened to him in the pass, he is

745
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: not playing until he's one hundred percent and he may

746
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: not play in preseason. Member Jared Goff didn't play in

747
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: preseason last year, and everybody, oh, man, the quarterbacks got

748
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: to play and they went to the super Bowl. Yeah,

749
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: and that was Goff and that was that was no

750
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: injury though for golf, that was just not to get hurt.

751
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: He didn't. They didn't play anybody John, and the only

752
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: guy that played against us in week three was Sue.

753
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: Sue was the only one. I think they played against

754
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: us for like four or five plays in week three

755
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: of the preseason. La that was it. But I gotta

756
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 1: tell you this, the calf injury. It's one of those

757
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: wolves and wolves in sheep's clothing, you know, because it

758
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: sounds so good, not all a strain calf. He'll be fine,

759
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: But you saw Durant and I'm not saying that Lexi

760
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: gonna come back get an ecl but the strang calf

761
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: can be a really tough injury to get over. So

762
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: I do think you should retire anyway. Today's breaking news

763
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: as players make their way into the practice bubble here

764
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: at the Houston Methodist Training Center is wearing is in

765
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: full padded gear. About time and we'll give it a go.

766
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: So I said the other day, I think I can't

767
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: remember if I wrote it or I said it that

768
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: I thought he'd be starting by the midway point of

769
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: this season. You said it to us, Okay, Well, other

770
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: shows have asked me about it and sounded kind of surprised.

771
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: But you guys know how they think he can be special,

772
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: a dual thread. He's a block, he's tough, he likes

773
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: to block. As I said, he's a Southern California beach

774
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: boy with an attitude. He's got. He's six five. There's

775
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: no ways what they list him at two fifty two.

776
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: He told me season program he's two fifty six. And

777
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: I guarantee he's in his sixties because he is. There's

778
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: probably not a more awesome physical specimen out here. You

779
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: keep talking about loves it. Well, you seem don't you

780
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: think he has a great body. I'll tell you what,

781
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: I have no problem. I want to go do push ups.

782
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,479
Speaker 1: I want to go do sit ups. You know I'm

783
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: confident and who I am. I'm known for that. I

784
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: don't care listens whatever, whatever its raft, that's draft, that's

785
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: draft analysis. He looks bus and he's got, he's got muscles,

786
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: a muscles. He's he's fast, he's quick, and he wants

787
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: to learn. And he gotten that speed mode for the

788
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 1: combine and the Pro day because he wasn't a starter,

789
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: a regular starter, and it worked because he went in

790
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: the third round and so they loved this guy. But

791
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it'll take a while. I think Jordan Thomas

792
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: will start, and if they go with two, originally it'll

793
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: be Thomas and Ankins, but Wearing is gonna come up

794
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: on the stretch and forced his way into the lineup.

795
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: I believe Thomas still working his way back and Aikins

796
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: has looked really terrific in this camp. So there's a

797
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: little update for you, John What else do you have

798
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: going on to the Houston Chronicle for us, Well, I've

799
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,439
Speaker 1: got my daily Texans takeaways, and I'm writing tomorrow about

800
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson when he was a rookie, and former quarterback

801
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: coach Sean Ryan told us he showed him a lot

802
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: of mobile quarterbacks, the good and the bad, the one

803
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: he focused on the most. Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Wilson

804
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: be writing about j J. Watt going home to Milwaukee. Yep,

805
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: a lot of homecoming stuff, as we said earlier, and

806
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: Johnny Harris among the homecoming people. As your parents lived,

807
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: how far away from forty five minutes forty five minutes

808
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: north of Green Bay, So i'd be a great trip.

809
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: It'd be a good trip. Thank you guys, Thank you John.

810
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: So Johnny, you started out there, I could. I consider

811
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: myself a Texan that's home. How how old were you

812
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: when he came here? We got here when I was

813
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: eleven and my dad okay, my dad literally wanted to

814
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: go somewhere where football was more important. I was eleven

815
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: two plus about thirty yea, but something like that. Yeah,

816
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: but I got here as fast as I went for

817
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: a little break and then I came back. So so

818
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: there's that. But yeah, I haven't I have not, I mean,

819
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: other than our trip to Green Bay in twenty sixteen,

820
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: I haven't been back to Wisconsin since I was in

821
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: high school. So it'll be good to have a few

822
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: days to kind of get back up and see see

823
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: my parents. I know from Max and JJ, it'll be

824
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: they'll be sworn by people. Also, you know who's also

828
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 1: Yesterday we pushed it to nine twenty, but today defensive line.

829
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: You know who plays there? Also interesting, I think it's

830
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: a super interesting factoid on one of the starters that

831
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: you might not know, and it gives you a glimpse

832
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: of how tough it is to make it in this

833
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: league and how players can come from anywhere. It's all

Speaker 1: John Harris on the sideline doing the job that nobody

854
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: let's go here and we're gonna evaluate and break down

855
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: the defensive line today at Texans training camp, Johnny somebody

856
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: named JJ Watt begins his ninth year out of Wisconsin,

857
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: the boy from Milwaukee who went to Central Michigan, then

858
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: the University of Wisconsin, then was drafted here in twenty eleven.

859
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: I can't believe that was eight years ago. There was

860
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: no OTA session that year. So the first we saw

861
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: of Watt was in training camp eight years ago, right

862
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: here on this field, knocking down passes. He didn't explode

863
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: until the playoffs that year, but here he is after

864
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: a sixteen sacks season. What are we expecting out of

865
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: JJ in year nine of his career. I'll put it

866
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: this way. He was watching the top one hundred and

867
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: JJ got in number twelve and they asked ed Taylor

868
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: Luan and they ask all these players. They just get

869
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: him in for a session, and they say, okay, talk

870
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: about this guy, talk about that guy. Luan went off

871
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: forever about jd J. W clowneing. Yep. They asked Hay

872
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: Luan about what and he's like nope, Like what do

873
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 1: you mean, like got nothing? Like next question, Luan wouldn't

874
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: even talk about it. They've had some battles they don't

875
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: and and by battles, I mean JJ has decimated him. Yeah,

876
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: Larry Man Tuncil, they set him down and like Tunsil

877
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 1: was like, he's JJ Wattman, Like what's there to say?

878
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. He's great. He's maybe the he's the

879
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: greatest this town has ever seen. He's arguably the greatest

880
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: defensive player of all time. We have the opportunity to

881
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: see him. We're lucky he's in the conversation. Put that conversation,

882
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: all right, So you brought up j D. So he's

883
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,959
Speaker 1: listed as defensive en, outside linebacker. He's a front seven guy.

884
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: He's a game wrecker. So let's just put him on

885
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: the We'll put him in the linebacker group as well.

886
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: But quick comment on JD, who was not at camp yet,

887
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: can do anything on a defensive line, can play anywhere

888
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: on a defensive line. Teams know it. At the end

889
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: of the year last year, they started to take note

890
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: of where he was on every play and it just

891
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: blocking schemes and protection schemes where he was no matter

892
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: where he lined up, he is that valuable on the

893
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: defensive front. And hopefully when he gets back, he's ready

894
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: to have a great year and we'll have a great

895
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: year for us in twenty nineteen. I can't I can't

896
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: wait to see him. I love just see him in

897
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: the hallway. He's an infectious smile. He's great with everybody.

898
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: Players love him. So hopefully he'll go back here sooner,

899
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: just wreck shop like he always does, smile, wider than

900
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: the Mississippi River. DJ Reader well, defensive end, nose tackle.

901
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: But look, we saw him start at d N a

902
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: lot last year with Brandon Dunman in the middle. We'll

903
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: get to him in a moment. But what about DJ

904
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: and year four? He's man? What is there to say? Look,

905
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: he had one I thought he had one tough ball

906
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: game last year, and it was the one game against

907
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: the Giants that the run defense was not excellent. But

908
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year, DJ Reader, if you

909
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 1: try to block him one on one in the run game,

910
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: you forget it. He swallows that up, He runs down screens.

911
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: He is everything you want in an tier defensive player.

912
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 1: I hope DJ Reader is here for a very very

913
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: long time. He is instrumental for this run defense. When

914
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: he is on the field's and he's turned up. But

915
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,959
Speaker 1: they wont in pads and probably tell the story now,

916
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: there was one of the rookie lineman the day before

917
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: who had kind of taken outside linebacker and kind of

918
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: kind of threw him out the club a little bit.

919
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: They weren't in pads. DJ got in the first run

920
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: drill and just blew it up, just blew it up.

921
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: He's like, you're not throwing me out the club, and

922
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: he just he was turned up the whole day. He

923
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: was at volume. Tay was so awesome to see. I

924
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: love him in this run defense and he's a great

925
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: fit in this defense. He's I think he's taken on

926
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: leadership role and he hopefully he's realizing how good he is,

927
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: because if you think about this four years ago, at

928
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: this point, four years ago, twenty fifteen, he was not

929
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: in Clemson camp. He was not in camp at Clemson

930
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: because his dad had passed away and he was trying

931
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: to figure out life, basically what he should do. He

932
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: didn't know what he wasn't sure what to do. He

933
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: finally came back but halfway through the year he kind

934
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: of got he got back on the field, and then

935
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: he kind of got it going. And then at the

936
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 1: end of the year and the Senior Bowl, he was dominant.

937
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: And I'm glad he's here. Drafted in a fifth round

938
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: and look at him. He's a starter for your team,

939
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: also starting ten games last year. Here's the factoid that

940
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 1: I teased Brandon Dunne DJ Dunny the locker room. DJ.

941
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: Brandon was originally signed by the Bears as an undrafted

942
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: free agent. Think about this for a moment. He was

943
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: released three times by the Bears, three times by the

944
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: Texans six times. He's been released and resigned to the

945
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: practice squad for the Bears and the Texans six and

946
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 1: then in twenty seventeen, the Texans signed him as one

947
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: of those reserve future guys, like right when the offseason begins,

948
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: and a lot of those guys all right, whatever, they're

949
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 1: signing some players right after the season. Well, Brandon Dunne

950
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: became a starter for this football team. What about DJ Dunny,

951
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: Well he's become invaluable. I mean, you put done next

952
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: to reader trying to run football against him. The best

953
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: thing about it is the fact that you could play

954
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: done next to Reader with Clowney watering the outside, with

955
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: Zach and Bmack just a sixth man, you're a nickel,

956
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 1: they're you stop the run, They're stop the run. Dunny

957
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: will will Swallo up a couple of blockers if he

958
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: needs to. He's got great technique against double teams. He

959
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: is an excellent, underrated football player. Now, unfortunately, what those

960
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: two are not are great pass rushers. They're really good athletes,

961
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: but they're not tremendous pass rushers. Maybe that's something that

962
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: evolves in their game this year. It would be kind

963
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: of nice if it did, but they're not great interior

964
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: pass rushers against to run, ran down DJ Reader together

965
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: as good as it gets. Okay, boy, we got we

966
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: gotta move on here. They're over two sentence and geez,

967
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: come on. By another guy who proves that good players

968
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: can come from anywhere. Angelo Blackson. Oh Man. We saw

969
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 1: two years ago. Flash he was drafted originally by the

970
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: Titans in the fourth round, ends up here and just

971
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: signed a deal in the off season. What about Blackson?

972
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: He's been even better this year. I thought he was

973
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: really good last year. Got his hands on some tip

974
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 1: passy Tip passe Yron Matthew intercepted at New England. Last year,

975
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: he does the dirty work for you, but he's a

976
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: little bit slimmer. This year, he's quicker, he's agile. I

977
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: haven't seen anybody effectively block him yet. I think Angel

978
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: Blackson's very key. Those three, Donny Reader and Blackson. You

979
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: got those three in there in the middle, and they're

980
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: gonna stop the run for sure already. The fourth year,

981
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: Joel Heath out of Michigan State six six three h two.

982
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: This is where it starts to get interesting because you've

983
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: got Joel Heath, and you've got Carlos Watkins, and you've

984
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: got a couple of guys battling to try and get

985
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: on this team. It's get in this defense line, get

986
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 1: in the rotation. And look, there are times when Joel

987
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 1: is I think, as good as anybody to have up there.

988
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: It's a consistency for him. He's got to a be

989
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 1: healthy and B he's got to be consistent. And then

990
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: when he is, he's got an opportunity to get in

991
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: the rotation. We've seen him make plays, no doubt about it.

992
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: All right, let's get right to the rug here. Charles A.

993
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: Mena who from the University of Texas six five, two

994
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: eighty a Houstonian. I would I'd love to go further

995
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: about a Mena who make sure. Yeah, he's been very good.

996
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with Charles kind of like it is

997
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: for some of these guys. His up and down swings

998
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,720
Speaker 1: are really big right now, Like there are players you watching, go, Okay,

999
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: that's a play I don't think anybody else in the

1000
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: field could make. And then the next play you're like

1001
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: a rookie, like that's a really league ball stuff right there.

1002
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: He's got to find at consistent level because he can

1003
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 1: be dynamic, very dynamic. Charles man Who. Okay, Carlos Watkins,

1004
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to leave him out. Third year out

1005
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,280
Speaker 1: of Clemson, a draft choice for this team. Three hundred

1006
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 1: pounds six three big year for him. He's got to

1007
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: prove that he can go on the field on third

1008
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: downs and rush one on one against pretty heavy guards

1009
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: and go get the quarterback. That's what he did Clemson.

1010
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: He was a really good interior pass rusher. That was

1011
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: the best thing he did. He's got to capitalize on

1012
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: that this year. All right. What about Albert Huggins, also

1013
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: from Clemson who they got as an undrafted free age

1014
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: in three oh five six three. We would have heard

1015
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: more about Albert Huggins that he played anywhere else but Clemson,

1016
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: but Clemson was loaded with defensive lineman. He had a

1017
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: really good college football play off a couple of games

1018
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: at the end when Dexter Lawrence was suspended. He'll get

1019
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: into competition, but man, it's gonna be really tough to

1020
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 1: break through that group of reader and done. But then

1021
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: he'll get a lot of looks in the preseason. But

1022
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: pretty athletic for a guy his size. But he's not

1023
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: a big guy. He's not a huge guy. He's not

1024
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 1: three thirty, so he's got to re lie a little

1025
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 1: bit more on his quickness. But I like Albert Huggins.

1026
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard to make the team. But if

1027
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 1: you get to keep a guy around and practice squad,

1028
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: never know what happens. Look at Brandon Dune, like you said,

1029
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: one of those players that causes number double takes number

1030
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 1: ninety five. Who was what was which was worn by Covington?

1031
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: Johnny Dwight out of Alabama, undrafted rookie six three, three

1032
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: oh one way he didn't play a ton at Alabama

1033
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: was more a part of the rotation at Alabama. But

1034
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: I've seen him out of here and make a few players.

1035
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, ninety five, all right, I'm used to

1036
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: seeing Covington, but I see ninety five and he's a

1037
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 1: little bit more stout than than than cove was. So

1038
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm interested see what he does in the preseason. But

1039
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: he's made a couple of plays that kind of catch

1040
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: my attention out here. Ira Savage Lewis is from Houston.

1041
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: Went to bail out sixty three. Rookie, Can you be

1042
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: a good d lineman with the name Ira? Yes, he is.

1043
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: He is. He's playing flashing the Sickham sign. He's He's

1044
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: pretty unique watching him. I mean, he's a two hundred

1045
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: and ninety pound guy. You can move him up and

1046
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: down a line of scrimmage. I have seen him make

1047
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: some plays during this training camp, both run and pass rush.

1048
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: I've seen him do some things the pass rush. He's

1049
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: a very intriguing player with the opportunity and the ability

1050
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: in size to play anywhere from tight end to tight end,

1051
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: and that's gonna help. That's gonna help a guy like

1052
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: that when it comes down to does he make the

1053
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: fifty three or probably best case for him is does

1054
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: he make practice squad. But boy, he's really flashed. To me,

1055
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see him against Green Bay and

1056
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: practices and then the game. I don't have his pronunciation yet.

1057
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: Hobby Edwards, big dude, Colorado. He's three twenty five. He's

1058
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: also a Houston Homeboys. Got some Houston homeboys in there,

1059
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: and Hobby's one of him. He's a large human being.

1060
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: So for him, he's gonna be playing over the nose.

1061
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna be playing from guard to guard, and he's

1062
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 1: just got to he's just got to be nasty inside.

1063
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: Just take on it. He's got he's got to follow

1064
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: DJ readers every move during his training camp and during

1065
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: the preseason. All right, that's it for your D line.

1066
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: They get all of them. You got all of them,

1067
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: I believe. So giving me grief about two sentences, Well,

1068
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, and this is a pretty big group right here.

1069
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: And I think it's a good group too. I think

1070
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: it's the deepest group that this team has. They've got

1071
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: a rookie on the NFI list, Walter Palmore out of

1072
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: Missouri six four three twenty nose tackle may we see

1073
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: him right out here. He's a bit, he's a big. Yeah,

1074
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 1: he wants to get healthy in a hurry. Otherwise it's uh,

1075
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, he might be the kind of guy they

1076
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: want to hang onto if he can't practice this camp.

1077
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: But we'll see how they handle that. Look, I think

1078
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: it's a deep group. We've talked about this possibly being

1079
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: the deepest group on the team. Yeah, I mean now,

1080
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 1: because you have the one of the best players in history,

1081
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: and then he got a reader and done and everybody

1082
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: else we talked about. So we'll see how it plays out.

1083
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: They have a lot of options there. They're gonna be

1084
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: some unhappy people, or maybe they'll be happy because if

1085
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: guys get cut and you can't get him on the

1086
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,720
Speaker 1: practice squad, somebody's rookies, maybe they end up with other teams.

1087
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 1: So some of these guys will be focusing on on

1088
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: the second half of these preseason games coming up. Yeah,

1089
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: there's no question. And that's the one thing that these

1090
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: guys have got to keep in mind that, Yes, what

1091
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: they put on film is obviously for Anthony Weaver and

1092
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: for Romeo Cornell to sit there and study and and

1093
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: critique and give them pointers and all that. But they're

1094
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: also put whatever they put on film is for thirty

1095
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: one other teams to pay attention. And and I know

1096
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: it's tough to say, like, hey, no, they're Texans, especially

1097
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: the guys from Houston. But this is a deep group.

1098
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: Is a deep, deep group. And you know when you

1099
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: go sub package of that group, how many of them

1100
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: are gonna end up being on the field. Yeah, it's

1101
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 1: gonna be why it's gonna be Clowney and then keeps six? Right,

1102
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna keep six, maybe five, just squeeze. I think

1103
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: you keep six. I think you keep six. But you know,

1104
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: it depends on how you classic. John McClain says five,

1105
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: which because it depends on how you classified. I put

1106
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,839
Speaker 1: Clowney in there, so I count that as six. All right?

1107
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: Well if yeah, because how does Clois figure in the

1108
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: outside linebacker equation? You keep four or five because they're

1109
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: gonna keep They're gonna keep nine linebackers. If you include

1110
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: Clowney in that group, it's nine, right, So I think

1111
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: the D line is five plus the one. So now

1112
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: you have eight and six. Right. Again, I go back

1113
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: to the fact that because you have I don't know,

1114
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: it's a position list. Fourteen front seven guys. Well there that,

1115
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: there's there's that's what you gotta do. That's how you

1116
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: have to think about this, right, because when you start

1117
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: thinking about, well, how many outside linebackers do I have? Well,

1118
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: how many outside linebackers do I need? Because how often

1119
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 1: am I gonna be in my base unit? I'm gonna

1120
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: be in my base unit against Tennessee. But if I

1121
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: have Clowney. If I have Clowney, then I've got at

1122
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: least three guys I know I could play outside and Scarlet,

1123
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: Merciless and Clowney. I've got at least those three as

1124
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:47,439
Speaker 1: the outside linebackers. So how much? But you play nickel?

1125
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 1: How much? And when you play nickel, you got wad outside,

1126
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 1: Clowne outside, and you play a combination on the inside. Ye,

1127
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: So how much do you really need? You know, five

1128
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: outside linebackers? You will take a fifth outside linebacker if

1129
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 1: you know that guy's gonna end up find out on

1130
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: special teams. And I got one that I'm really excited about. Really, well,

1131
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: why we do that tomorrow? Why we do linebackers tomorrow? Outside? Inside,

1132
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: all around the town? DP Cito with what she's seen

1240
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: love the guys from Exfinity. That's a great platform. But

1241
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 1: it's funny how that's attached to your name. Now does

1246
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,439
Speaker 1: mom presented by Axfinity or no? We should work on that. Yeah,

1247
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: maybe I think everybody should have spots a ring to it,

1248
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 1: all right, and you can make everybody say the branding

1249
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: so you get the word out there. The biggest headline

1250
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: of the day so far is obviously back in pads.

1251
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: He hasn't practiced all training camp. We saw what he

1252
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: did this offseason, but he started and camp off with pup.

1253
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: I would expect him to come off today because generally

1254
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: we've seen guys when they're dressed, they end up practicing,

1255
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: and I like how every single day in practice, another

1256
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 1: guy gets healthier. Yeah, the other day we saw justin reed.

1257
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: We've obviouslyeen JJ Watt and DeAndre Hopkins come back, but

1258
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what Kalie Wearing does. Jordan Thomas

1259
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: had missed the last few days of practice, so we

1260
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: saw a lot of the Titans getting reps. So I

1261
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: think I expect to see Wearing doing some good stuff.

1262
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: If he's if he's a full go back today. Yeah,

1263
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: if he's practicing today, that he's he's off N five.

1264
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: I mean, so that's that'll be done. The fact that

1265
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: he's in the full pads. How much he'll do well,

1266
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: we'll see, but i'd imagine. I mean, he's been staying

1267
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: in shape, he's been doing his rehab work out and such.

1268
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: So hopefully he's beyond this. Hopefully this is not one

1269
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: of those things that pops back up in another week

1270
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: or two or whatever the case might be. We saw

1271
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: that Lonnie Lonnie had something in OTAs on what it was,

1272
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's the same thing, but

1273
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: something popped up again. Bill brants to the other day

1274
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: that Lonnie Lonnie Johnson Junior should be back, but and

1275
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: be back pretty soon. But you know, with rookies, it's

1276
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: a it's a different animal because you spent all offseason,

1277
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: as Bill said many times, he's spent all offseason training

1278
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: for that combine. That's what Collie was doing. Collie was

1279
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: training for the Combine. He was getting ready to go

1280
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: run and to really kind of put his shingle out

1281
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:14,959
Speaker 1: there because that was you know, he was not well

1282
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: known at San Diego State throughout his year really kind

1283
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: of caught fire. At the end of the year. We

1284
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: had a couple of nice ball games and it was

1285
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: like wa wait a second. This guy's a pretty good athlete,

1286
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: goes the combine and blows up, and now of a

1287
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: sudden he's on everybody's radar screen. But that's what he

1288
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: was preparing for. Now, you start preparing for a season,

1289
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 1: especially at that position, you worry about those kind of things.

1290
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: So hopefully he's back and he's back to stay. I

1291
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: think the mental aspect of it though, what I've everything

1292
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: that I've heard from his teammates such as Jordan Akins,

1293
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Thomas, those guys, they said that Collie is mentally

1294
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: further along in knowing the offense than where they were

1295
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: at this time last year. I think that says a

1296
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: lot about those two. Jordan's helping him wherever he needs.

1297
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: And also Darren Fills. Everyone talks about Darren Pills just

1298
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: being one of the smartest guys in that room. He

1299
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: knows so much, He's seen so much, He's played the

1300
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: position a number of years. Kahale he started playing tight

1301
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: end in college and I remember him right after the

1302
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: Texans UH drafted him, he said that he had to

1303
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: google what a tight end was because when he was

1304
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: going from high school to college, his high school system

1305
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: didn't have a tight end. So he said, sure, I'll end.

1306
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Then he went back and he looked up what exactly

1307
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: that entail. Now I think he's he's come a long way.

1308
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: He's come a long way since those days. But it's

1309
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: very encouraging to know that his knowledge of the offense.

1310
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: The other guys feel that for a rookie, it's it's

1311
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: coming long. Really well, what a great thing, What a

1312
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: great little factoid there that he had to google? What

1313
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: a tight end does I don't know if you use

1314
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: Google or if he used Yeah, well no, I mean

1315
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: he go look it up? Who use googles? The verb?

1316
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of like here, like you go somewhere you're like, hey,

1317
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: can I have a coke? Okay? What kind I mean?

1318
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 1: It's Google Like that's a great way to play a

1319
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: Texas thing exactly. But that's kind of the same thingcause

1320
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,439
Speaker 1: because when I lived in Michigan was pop right okay,

1321
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: And in some parts of New England it's still tonic.

1322
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: Can I have an I've never heard that soda? Who says,

1323
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: so I grew up in the Midwest. I feel like

1324
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: I've heard all of it Midwesda pop. Yeah, I've never

1325
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: or it's like Sandwiches, Grinder's Heroes, home Boys. Yeah, Poe Boy,

1326
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: Well that's that's a little bit different. Okay, didn't mean

1327
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 1: to get off on that tangent, by the way, but yah,

1328
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: who's helping us out with all this streaming of the

1329
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: games during the season, So that's good than your sponsor? Again, well,

1330
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: I'd like to take care of that, because they take

1331
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: care marks just gonna throw out names of sponsors just

1332
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: throughout the show, hoping somebody sticks to the wall and

1333
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: says we needed and they gave me money. Go Mark Vandermers, right, yes, exactly.

1334
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't have that. So it's deep slant presented by Axfinity.

1335
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: So anyway, what are you working on today? Who are

1336
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: you going to talk to? I'm going to talk to

1337
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: Greg Manns, who has gotten a lot of reps very

1338
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: quietly here with Nick Martin out. But you know obviously

1339
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: that the coaching staff loves what he's able to do,

1340
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: his versatility, play a guard, play center. He's always a

1341
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: great interview. And I don't know if you saw this

1342
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: new segment that we put out on pretty much every

1343
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: social media channel in Houston, Texans dot com. What's in

1344
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: the box yep. With the kids, they're not kid reporters

1345
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: anymore because they're a little bit grown. So I don't

1346
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: know if we call them teen reporters or tween reporters.

1347
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: Vander Kidd is one of them. In Your Kids, Joe

1348
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 1: my son is one of the other ones. But they

1349
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: they many years has this been for them? It's at

1350
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 1: least full because every year we think this is the

1351
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: last year they're gonna do. I could tell you Vander

1352
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: kids done because we say, but see, this is what

1353
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: we say every year and the year, and then the

1354
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: kids want to do it and the players, the players

1355
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: have this rapport with them now, so I feel like

1356
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: when the kids are in the building, the players all

1357
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: know who they are. I saw a promo for the

1358
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 1: team luncheon and Vander Kidd was there interviewing players at

1359
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: the team lunch last year, and in the promo he's like, so, JJ,

1360
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: what do you think of it? And now he's like, JJ,

1361
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, his voice has dropped. In fact, he looks

1362
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: older now than he did two months ago. When we're

1363
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: three months ago when we shot the Watson, there are

1364
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: still kids. They're not eighteen, so until until eighteen hits

1365
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: I still can I still call them kids? Yeah, I

1366
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: mean they're much believe me. At home, it feels different.

1367
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 1: It feels different, but the players connect with them in

1368
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 1: a way, in a very different way. But Greg Greg

1369
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,439
Speaker 1: was hilarious on that. So we'll catch up with Greg

1370
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: and and see what he's been up to this offseason.

1371
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: How I mean, he's not a star, but he's one

1372
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 1: of those really important players on this team. Can play

1373
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: guards center. You have to have a guy like Greg

1374
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 1: Man's and I don't want to say they're gonna have

1375
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,599
Speaker 1: a luxury problem with the cuts here on the offensive line,

1376
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: but it could get interesting in the interior because that's

1377
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: where they have a lot of depth. The rookies playing

1378
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: a lot of guard or practicing a lot at guard. Here,

1379
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 1: we'll see if they start at guard or play a

1380
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 1: lot at guard, and how they determine who they are

1381
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 1: on this old line. And then then you start to

1382
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 1: look at the outside the tackles. We broke down the

1383
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: old line on day one, really, but Johnny likes Roderick Johnson. Yeah,

1384
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 1: Rods come a long way. I'm telling you a long way.

1385
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean last year when he got here, I was like,

1386
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: oh man, I don't I don't see it. I even

1387
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:53,680
Speaker 1: told him the other day, I said, man, you have

1388
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: come leaped and bounce from where you are and he

1389
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: said thank you. He did, he'd say thank you. He

1390
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 1: was impressed that. I don't know if that's a compliment

1391
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 1: or so. You know, Rod's the guy that exackly. You know,

1392
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:07,759
Speaker 1: I've seen him thrown in there a number of different

1393
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: times with the different combinations that they've had. So if

1394
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 1: you have a guy like Rod Johnson that kind of

1395
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 1: rises up and says, hey, man, I'm here, pay attention

1396
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,759
Speaker 1: to me. Look what did kennelam do last year? Remember

1397
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: nobody from out of nowhere? Because he was left for

1398
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 1: dead in a football sense the year before. Yeah, exactly,

1399
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: but he ends up starting for you must sees it

1400
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: at right tackle, exactly. It can happen for an eleven

1401
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: win team. Now. I know it wasn't perfect out there,

1402
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: believe me. But you never know who's going to contribute

1403
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: and who has to contribute. Robert Johnson looked humongous to

1404
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: me when he first showed up here, but now with

1405
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: the size of these offensive linemen, he doesn't. I mean,

1406
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: you see his Sean L. Henderson next to him, whos

1407
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: probably gotta what thirty pounds on him at least Roderi's

1408
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: about six six, three hundred something like that. He's spelt yeah.

1409
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 1: I mean he's tiny compared he looks tiny now compared

1410
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: to the other guys. We've got a very big old line.

1411
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 1: You know. It's funny because I asked graig Man's about that.

1412
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 1: Does he feel tiny being in the hallways and the

1413
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: and the cafeteria and especially when the old lineman get

1414
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,560
Speaker 1: out of their meeting and they're just all walking in

1415
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 1: a group. This is by far, and that's just the visual,

1416
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 1: the site test, the all airport test. You know, how

1417
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: do you look in the airport? This is definitely the

1418
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: biggest line they've ever Are you look at the airport?

1419
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: Why do you look different? No? No, no, because that's

1420
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 1: a that's an expression, you know, are you all some

1421
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 1: some basketball players are all airport like in the airport,

1422
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: whereas built all airport and then you get them on

1423
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: the court not so hot. I'm not saying these guys

1424
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 1: are all airport, but it's just the visual when they're

1425
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 1: off the field. Right, this is the biggest line we've

1426
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: ever had here. They're very big, The tight ends are

1427
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 1: very very big as well. They've gotten taller and wider,

1428
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 1: and gone are the days of Steven Anderson where we

1429
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: had smaller tight ends. Now they're they're getting bigger and

1430
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 1: more athletically. That doesn't mean you're good, but it means

1431
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: that you're big and we'll see if it's be able

1432
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: to do everything that's expected of them. Bill and mine

1433
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: once said that that's one of the toughest positions to learn. Yeah,

1434
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 1: to that point, they've gotten bigger, but they've not lost

1435
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 1: athleticism or agility. I mean, you talk about talk about

1436
01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: Max even Sean trow those are guys that can move.

1437
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean they're not that's just big blobs of three guys.

1438
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:06,560
Speaker 1: And I'm not I know you weren't saying that, but

1439
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:08,600
Speaker 1: it's like when people say, oh, they're getting bigger, like

1440
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: I just got a bunch of fat guys. No, no, No,

1441
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: they got guys that can actually get up and move.

1442
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 1: And well that's the key, right. I mean how many

1443
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:18,480
Speaker 1: times do we see college football teams and the announcements

1444
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 1: are breg Oh they're three hundred across the well, all right, great,

1445
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: but can they play? I mean there's three hundred and

1446
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 1: there's three hundred these guys are actual athletes. There's a difference. Well,

1447
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: they have to be if they're going against this dealone

1448
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:30,600
Speaker 1: in camp every day as well. You have to be

1449
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 1: able to move, you have to be big because look,

1450
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 1: look what's facing you on the opposite side, a bunch

1451
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: of really big athletic dudes as well. That's true DP.

Speaker 1: You know, it's always gonna be like that anyway, Happy Birthday,

1479
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: Texas Training Camp Live, all right. So one of the

1480
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 1: things I want to see today because they're in full

1481
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: paths and they're in the bubble. I want to see

1482
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,560
Speaker 1: this pass rush because we're gonna break down the linebackers

1483
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 1: tomorrow and I want to see who among these young

1484
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: bucks can get to the passer. And we've been talking

1485
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: about some of these guys and how they're looking here

1486
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 1: at camp, and you know, Jamal Davis. You brought up him.

1487
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 1: He's kind of under the radar guy. We'll break down

1488
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: these guys tomorrow. And also inside not that he's gonna

1489
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: rush the passor I don't think they're gonna do too

1490
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: many inside backer blitzes, but they might. Xavier Woodson luster

1491
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,560
Speaker 1: who is kind of like the camp crush of the

1492
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 1: media in general. Yeah, I think because he wears not because,

1493
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 1: but he wears fifty six, so he really stands out.

1494
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: He's wearing Cushing's number, and he's in his second year

1495
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: out of Arkansas State, So I'm gonna be looking for

1496
01:13:58,080 --> 01:13:59,839
Speaker 1: him today a little bit. But I think the biggest

1497
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: is the headline that Kahalla wearing is practicing and we

1498
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 1: all want to see what he looks like as they're

1499
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: in pads for his first day of training camp practice. Look,

1500
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,759
Speaker 1: we saw him in the offseason and he was certainly noticeable,

1501
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 1: but now you're doing the real thing here, and he's

1502
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: gonna play against the Packers, assuming he stays healthy. He's

1503
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 1: gonna play against the Packers one week from tomorrow night.

1504
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: And by the way, that could be heard here. You'll

1505
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 1: hear that game on the Bowl one hundred point three.

1506
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,639
Speaker 1: Fab as well, you can stream it live on your app.

1507
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:31,720
Speaker 1: You can watch it there, you can see it on

1508
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: ABC thirteen. So it's gonna be very cool. Joining us

1509
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 1: right now from camp, it's Landry Locker from the End

1510
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: Loop program, which is next at ten am, and he

1511
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 1: joins us every day for training camp. Questions, Landry, what

1512
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 1: do you got for us today? Sir? All right? You

1513
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 1: just mentioned lambeau Field. A lot of people have that

1514
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: on their football bucket list trip. What is your bucket

1515
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: list trip that you haven't taken? And I know you've

1516
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:54,800
Speaker 1: been to all the stadiums. It can be anything, it

1517
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: can be any place anywhere your bucket list trip that

1518
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,599
Speaker 1: you haven't been in football. You know, it's funny because

1519
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: we haven't been to the Falcons new stadium yet. So

1520
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: we've been to the Georgia Dome, which was a miserable

1521
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 1: experience in twenty fifteen, in fact two thousand and seven

1522
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,640
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, yeah, and then twenty fifteen. Those are

1523
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: the only two times I've been there for a football game.

1524
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: I've done basketball games there. Anyway, I want to see

1525
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 1: the new Falcon Stadium. That's gonna be cool. You know,

1526
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 1: it's funny, Landream because I think we all agree that

1527
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: the college stadiums, and maybe we were running out of

1528
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,720
Speaker 1: those as well, those are the ones that kind of

1529
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: have the mystique. Because as you get these newer NFL stadiums,

1530
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 1: they don't have it as much lambeau Field has it.

1531
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:38,879
Speaker 1: I think. I think the Bills still have a little mistique.

1532
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 1: You know, when you go to Orchard Park, it is

1533
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:44,640
Speaker 1: really cool to see that. When I go to the

1534
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: Patriots stadium, I want to throw up. So that's different.

1535
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: But think about it, who still has mistas. Soldier Field

1536
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 1: doesn't have it because when they redid it, they ruined it.

1537
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 1: So you know, my my pilgrimage in the NFL is

1538
01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,639
Speaker 1: going to be to any super Bowl that the Texans

1539
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 1: part paid in. But I could still tell you I

1540
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: have never done a game at Notre Dame, you know,

1541
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 1: so I have this more in the college ranks than

1542
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:09,640
Speaker 1: I do in the pro ranks. I'm with you as well.

1543
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: I think with the NFL stadiums now, they're also new,

1544
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: and I mean they're nice. Quest Field up in Seattle

1545
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: was unbelievably cool. It was unbelievably cool. But here's my

1546
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: bucket list. Number one, see a game in the Big

1547
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: House in Michigan. Number two go to a game and

1548
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and not done that, and number three And

1549
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 1: I am embarrassed to say this, but it makes sense

1550
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 1: because we're either traveling or I'm calling a game on Saturday.

1551
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 1: I have never seen Texas ou into cotton ball. I

1552
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: am never I've never seen it. I went twenty straight years.

1553
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,560
Speaker 1: I know that's what I'm saying. Wow, I want to

1554
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:42,760
Speaker 1: see that one. You know, i'd be more apt to

1555
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 1: see like right, like right, I want to see the

1556
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 1: iron ball, but I don't know that I really want

1557
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: to make It's not I don't need to make a

1558
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: pilgrimage to Auburn or to Alabama. I just want to

1559
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: see the iron ball. I want to see Texas. You go. Man,

1560
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: you're in the middle of a fair too. That's the

1561
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: best thing. Like it's basically you're just going to a

1562
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 1: fair into the stadium. It's food until the time. Can

1563
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: be a bad time. Now. I've had some bad times there. Yeah,

1564
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: I know. And I want to see that annual Aggie

1565
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 1: Longhorn game. Oh wait, oh wait, look, you know what

1566
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 1: it's such. Don't even get me started on how awful

1567
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 1: it is that they don't play. It's so terrible. I

1568
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: don't care whose fault it is. Everybody should just be

1569
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 1: ashamed of themselves that they are not playing an annual

1570
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 1: football game in the state of Texas. No, we can't play. Really, really,

1571
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 1: you guys can't play. Really, Florida and Florida State do it.

1572
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 1: Do it? Just do it? And Miami and Florida are

1573
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 1: doing it this year. Look, Miami is a little bit

1574
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: of a difficult times. They would play Florida every year.

1575
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: I get it from Florida's standpoint, because Florida already has

1576
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: to play has to play Florida States because they're state

1577
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:48,640
Speaker 1: schools and you're the SEC. So the now Miami is

1578
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,320
Speaker 1: not exactly the opponent that used to be. But I

1579
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 1: get it from Florida's standpoint, which the Keynes get mad

1580
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 1: at me about. But the Keynes hate Florida more than

1581
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: they hate Florida State. They can't stand Florida because of

1582
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: the Gator flop. Don't ask me to explain that right now. No,

1583
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 1: I know that one, but I'll tell you the other one. Yeah,

1584
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: I mentioned I mentioned Questfield in Seattle. I want to

1585
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 1: go watch a game in the upper deck at University

1586
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 1: of Washington. Apparently it's the best view. Well, isn't that

1587
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: a new place now? No, oh, it's the old place.

1588
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 1: They just redid it because I've been there and believe

1589
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 1: me that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you've been there. You're rocking

1590
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 1: back and forth. It is wild in there. That is

1591
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: a wild atmosphere. It is crazy out to the water.

1592
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: It's nuts. It is so cool to be up there

1593
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 1: at you dub. I really enjoy that too. Look, I

1594
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: had the benefit of calling games at the Orange Bowl,

1595
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: and that that stadium gave me chills the first time

1596
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:37,720
Speaker 1: I went in there to do a broadcast. You see

1597
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: the palm trees out the open end. You know what

1598
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,680
Speaker 1: happened there, Nameth, Hail Flutie, all the great games. That

1599
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: was phenomenal. And would you say yours is dry Man

1600
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl. It's hard to talk. Yeah, like that's

1601
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,679
Speaker 1: that's my favorite stadium. But I would probably say been there. Yeah,

1602
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: I haven't been there. Yeah, I know you you called

1603
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good one there. I would say going to

1604
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: Notre Dame would be cool. I have I haven't been

1605
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame. That would be This is the greatest

1606
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:05,839
Speaker 1: site these eyes have ever seen. Bait, right, Yeah, speaking

1607
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 1: of Notre Dame movie, Rudy, what is the best football

1608
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: movie of all time? And what is the worst football

1609
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: movie of all time? Oh, I'm I'm good. The worst.

1610
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 1: The worst football movie of all time is Friday Night Lights.

1611
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:23,680
Speaker 1: The movie really awful because it's so they take the

1612
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 1: book is so good and they took Hollywood liberties and

1613
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: they put the game in the Astrodome and the whole

1614
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 1: thing about the book was like the biggest insecurity for

1615
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback Mike Winchell was the fact that he had

1616
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:37,639
Speaker 1: to play in the rain at University of Texas against

1617
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 1: Dallas Carter. They could have made a great Hollywood ending

1618
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 1: with that, but no, they went inside the astrodome and

1619
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 1: they had some goofy ending where he gets hit a

1620
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 1: the ten yard line it drags people to the two

1621
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:49,640
Speaker 1: inch line in the championship game, and they didn't make

1622
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 1: it a championship game. So yeah, Friday Night Lights movie out,

1623
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,560
Speaker 1: I was done. Didn't we do a bracket on this?

1624
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:57,720
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago? The best football movie? Look,

1625
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 1: I think remember the Titans and you of the best

1626
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: football movies ever made? Right, So it's about which one

1627
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 1: you like out of those two and I think Rudy

1628
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: I like a little bit better. But I love Remember

1629
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: the Titans. Why what are you thinking? Okay, well, i'll see.

1630
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 1: Here's this way. If Rudy Remember the Titans and the

1631
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 1: program are all on at the same time, I'm watching

1632
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:21,439
Speaker 1: the program. Yeah, but that's because it's sensational in a way.

1633
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 1: The program is better than those movies, but it's not empatically. Yeah,

1634
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: it's not a better movie, Ruddy. Rudy's about staying with it. Look,

1635
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,720
Speaker 1: I know that the character he should have just got

1636
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: his education, even just to stay off the field, but

1637
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: knowing what he does, like it wasn't even a Ponzi

1638
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 1: scheme or something. Later and then then he ends up

1639
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 1: on radio wrote the super Bowl here after that, look,

1640
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 1: uh uh, you have to go with the Hollywood version

1641
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 1: of this though, and even uh, you know, it's funny.

1642
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 1: We were mentioning Andrea it's his birthday today, but he's

1643
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 1: met Coach Boone from Remember the Titans, the real Coach Boon.

1644
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 1: I think that, uh that that's a tremendous movie. I

1645
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: love the scene at Gettysburg, I love the training camp scenes.

1646
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: It's really great. And there's obviously a social aspect of

1647
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:06,600
Speaker 1: that that's not in rudy. I think those two are

1648
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: the best I've scene. And it's funny how football all

1649
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: right of sports to make the best movies. Boxing number one,

1650
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 1: baseball number two, football number three. Basketball's way down on

1651
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 1: the list. You only have like one or two decent

1652
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 1: basketball movies. Hoosier's really good, but basketball doesn't make good movies.

1653
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't know why it's terrible. Anyway, go on, Remember

1654
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: the Titans. Although I'm kind of scarred because they blew

1655
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: everybody out. They read they really didn't play any close

1656
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: games like in real life, like they basically won by

1657
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, so it kind of it kind of ruined me,

1658
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:39,679
Speaker 1: but I I love me some some remember the Titans.

1659
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: Khali wearing back on the back on the field or

1660
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: on the field the day, I should say, for the

1661
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 1: first time in camp he played water polo. What do

1662
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:50,519
Speaker 1: you guys think is the hardest sport to play? Oh,

1663
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:52,720
Speaker 1: that's good. Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to

1664
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:55,640
Speaker 1: do in sports, major league level, the hardest. It's the

1665
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 1: hardest thing to do. You have a spheroid that is

1666
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 1: moving at ninety miles an hour, and it's moving all

1667
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:05,600
Speaker 1: of the place, and you've got this wood stick no

1668
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: more than you know, two inches or less than two inches,

1669
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:10,600
Speaker 1: give me like a cricket thing, and you've got a

1670
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 1: sweet spot in that thing to hit the ball so

1671
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 1: the bat doesn't break. And the best players in the

1672
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 1: game only are successful three out of ten times. Yeah,

1673
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:23,719
Speaker 1: hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports.

1674
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:27,400
Speaker 1: You know. I love that you brought this up because

1675
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 1: when when we talk about great examples for kids or

1676
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 1: adults about failure and trying things, you're right one. I

1677
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 1: mean here here you are thirty three percent, and you

1678
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: are a gazillion in if you could do it thirty

1679
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 1: three percent of the time. Now, that is phenomenal information

1680
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: right there, and it should inspire you in your life

1681
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 1: that you gotta try things that it's okay to miss

1682
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: every once in a while. But I really I think

1683
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: water polo's right up there though us I endurance sports

1684
01:22:57,040 --> 01:23:00,680
Speaker 1: to me triathlons. I just don't at it to be

1685
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:05,080
Speaker 1: really good at that. I think it takes a special mentality.

1686
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:07,599
Speaker 1: That's something I would never want to do. It's funny

1687
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 1: my father in law was talking about last night, like, oh,

1688
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:12,600
Speaker 1: cross country and maybe you know vander kid should do that.

1689
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, don't you. Does anybody like doing that? Does

1690
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 1: anybody enjoy cross country? Like he? I can't wait to

1691
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 1: go running, And if you're really good at it, I

1692
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: get it that you want to be excelling and winning,

1693
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 1: but the enjoy it some coaches make you do that.

1694
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:29,400
Speaker 1: They did in my day. You had to get up,

1695
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:31,600
Speaker 1: like if you wanted to play basketball, you had to

1696
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: go get up go to cross country, and then you

1697
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:36,560
Speaker 1: came there. Oh really, And I was never excited. The

1698
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: carrot is you get to go play basketball, which I

1699
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 1: love and I still play today. I think the skill

1700
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 1: that it takes to hit a baseball, throw a football,

1701
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 1: make catches like Hopkins does, you'll play basketball like you know,

1702
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 1: James Harden does. All those kind of things. The in

1703
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: dirt sports, you know, riding a bike. We all got

1704
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:55,639
Speaker 1: to ride a bike, right, But to ride a bike

1705
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 1: as fast as you have to to win the Tour

1706
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: de France or like, that's incredible. The endurance and the

1707
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 1: strength it takes is incredible. But the fine, the fine

1708
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: motor skills you need to hit a baseball is to

1709
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 1: be successful three out of ten times when you're going

1710
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 1: to the Hall of fame. What water polos? No picnic though, Joe,

1711
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,560
Speaker 1: You're I mean people who don't know. It's not like

1712
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:22,080
Speaker 1: when you're playing at the resort and like everybody's standing

1713
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 1: up in the pool and you're holding the beer practically

1714
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:27,679
Speaker 1: playing water polo. These guys are swimming in a deep pool,

1715
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: and I can't imagine the kind of shape you have

1716
01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:32,879
Speaker 1: to be and to be good at that, never mind survive.

1717
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 1: That's why wearing looks the way he does. He does

1718
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:39,719
Speaker 1: like kind of looks like me a little bit, maybe

1719
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: not maybe a little bit yeah more, I'm telling you,

1720
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 1: underneath this shirt it's just frightening. I'm not gonna show you, Okay,

1721
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 1: all right, y'all had Zach cutting him on earlier today

1722
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 1: and he was talking about how he likes to play

1723
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: the guitar. Yes, And about a week ago, I was

1724
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 1: serenaded by Mark vandermere I did not know you had

1725
01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 1: the music skills that you do. I knew you played,

1726
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:00,640
Speaker 1: but a lot of people say they and when they

1727
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 1: play it's not very enjoyable. But Mark Vandermure has some

1728
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: music skills. Don't let him tell you any different. If

1729
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 1: you couldn't make hey an all time Texans garage band.

1730
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 1: Who would you put in it? Well, John of the

1731
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 1: GRIBs would be in it because he plays piano. I

1732
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:17,879
Speaker 1: would get Bobby Fino to do some of the vocals.

1733
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: That's Arian Foster by the way, because like we might

1734
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 1: have had better singers on this team. But he is

1735
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:27,400
Speaker 1: a good vocalist, right, and I think a good lyric writer.

1736
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,719
Speaker 1: Now case Keenum could do a little singing and playing.

1737
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 1: Chad Stanley first putter and Texans history would certainly be

1738
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 1: in the band. I know we've had a drummer and

1739
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was. I know we've had

1740
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,240
Speaker 1: a drummer now that cutting In can sing too talked

1741
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 1: about he can't sing. He sang at the kickoff punching

1742
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, absolutely, and it was pretty dumb good.

1743
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's any good on guitar. I'd

1744
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 1: have to, like, you know, have a guitar throwdown with

1745
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 1: him in the locker room, you know, seriously, I'm sure

1746
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 1: he'll be down for them. You know, I got a

1747
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,919
Speaker 1: couple of axes. I got two stratocasters in the stadium,

1748
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 1: all right. One of them was given to me and

1749
01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 1: the guy actually put vandercaster where it says stratocaster, So

1750
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,600
Speaker 1: I keep it in my office. It's wow. You know,

1751
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 1: it kind of needs a little work. I think the

1752
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: neck you can use it, you know, to hit people with.

1753
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:15,840
Speaker 1: You could use it to hit a baseball with. John.

1754
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 1: But anyway, thank you for saying that, Landry. That was

1755
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to play for the people at

1756
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: Intercom Radio last Yeah, you did, you did your thing.

1757
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:24,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say you did if you didn't. You know,

1758
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: you know you did your thing. John. It's hot out here.

1759
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of other camps whether it's a lot

1760
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 1: less hot. Give me the perfect football weather, perfect football weather. This,

1761
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't mind this. I don't mind the heat because

1762
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 1: a lot of people can't take it, so I don't

1763
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 1: mind it. But perfect football weather was probably last year

1764
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 1: was New England to start the year. I told them

1765
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 1: during the pregame, I don't think I've ever been cold

1766
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 1: to start a season ever. It was. It was like

1767
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 1: sixty five. It was a little bit windy. It's gotta

1768
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 1: be a little colder though, doesn't it. I mean it

1769
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:01,720
Speaker 1: was fine. I like I like that day that that

1770
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 1: day was. It depends where you grew up because if

1771
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 1: you're if you're in New England in mid October, maybe

1772
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: the maybe October tenth, say, the foliage is perfect. Yeah,

1773
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: the only problem is you're probably playing the Patriots and

1774
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 1: that's the stinks. But other than that, yeah, you know,

1775
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:18,600
Speaker 1: when when I lived there, I used to go to

1776
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 1: that stadium and they weren't that good and it was

1777
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 1: kind of fun like that. I usually kind of liked

1778
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 1: them back then. Now I hate them like poison. Having

1779
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:26,720
Speaker 1: played college football up there, there was a sweet spot,

1780
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 1: just like a baseball bat, there was this tiny sweet spot.

1781
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:33,760
Speaker 1: Week three or week four was awesome. Week wanted two,

1782
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,559
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, lookt a little a little hot, not bad,

1783
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: not bad, but week three or four perfect. The rest

1784
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 1: of the weeks forget it. Let me tell you something.

1785
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 1: Range Snow. I mean it was ridiculous. Oh my gosh.

1786
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: When I was at the Green Bay game in twenty

1787
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 1: sixteen was phenomenal. Oh no, that was that was so cool.

1788
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 1: That was really loved that. When I lived in New

1789
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: England doing New Mask games, I'd play on Sunday mornings,

1790
01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:00,600
Speaker 1: flag that flag. We just played touch football, and it

1791
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 1: was it was at Smith College's field that the leaves

1792
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:09,599
Speaker 1: were just perfect foliage, just perfect, the bright colors. The weather,

1793
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 1: it was like Dead Poets Society was phenomenal. That was

1794
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 1: perfect football weather. Lady, What do you have going on

1795
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:16,559
Speaker 1: in the loop, We're gonna be joined by a player

1796
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 1: straight off the practice field. We're obviously gonna hear from

1797
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien. John Lopez has he is going to rank

1798
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 1: the importance of Texans players in the spirit of the
