1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: Axed, stress, anger, frustration. Those are my feelings watching the

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: oscars last night.

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 2: As far as Free.

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: Agency today, Mark Vandamir and John Harris, whether you good

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: evening against Texans All Access. We are live and we

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: are ready to rock. We'll have all the late breaking

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: news for you, anything that happens. I guess the gms

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: have to have dinner at some point and have a

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: little lull in the activity. But Johnny, maybe I've been

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: around too long. But I don't freak out until we

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: get I don't know until week four in September. If

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: things aren't going well, that's when I start to freak out.

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: I don't really freak out about this kind of stuff now, I,

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: like everybody else, would love to see some kind of

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: huge headline making slash. Wouldn't that be great? But how

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: many hours are we into this thing right now? Seven?

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, you're seeing some names come off the board.

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Oh we wanted him, that would have been nice. Hugh,

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, who's left? Well, there are a lot

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: of guys left, that's a fact. And too many people

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: righte the epitaph before day one is over, Day one

22
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: of legal tampering. I am blown away by some of

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: the reactions. A couple of things here, Johnny, I was

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: driving back you know this. I was driving back from

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: a retreat I was at with my son in Georgia.

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: We drove back. We split it up over two days.

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: So today I listened to all these shows, national shows.

28
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: First of all, poor Jonathan Grenard, who's making over forty

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: million guaranteed, and no one knows how to pronounce his

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: name in the national media. It's just horrible. It's greenerd

31
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: it's grinner, it's they don't know. So congrats to JG

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: for getting his money with Minnesota. But there is a

33
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: lot of reaction, and most of the national reaction about

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: the Texans is, hey, they're in great shape. Wait and

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: see the local reactions something different. Everybody wants that marquee

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: busting signing right now, no matter how it goes. Are

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: you with me on this one thing. If they signed

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: Barkley for thirty seven million or something, because the reports

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: are what thirty six or whatever they reportedly the offer

40
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: was for thirty three, who knows what the real story is,

41
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: but let's just go with that for a moment. I

42
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: guarantee that some of the same people who are complaining

43
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: why did you pay more? Would have said, if they

44
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: sign up for that much, that's too much money, because

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: that's the way free agency goes. We overreact either way.

46
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: Good evening, how's it going, my friend?

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I've been watching this since eleven today,

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: just as it's unfolding.

49
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: I know the reaction.

50
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: Locally is is gonna be oh, man, the sky is falling.

51
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: And you know, just remember the guy that was sitting

52
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: courtside at the Lakers game last night is still your quarterback.

53
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 2: So it's okay, just relax. And here's the other thing.

54
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: Let's take the Barkley one first, as it's been reported

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 3: and you said it, who knows?

56
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: Who knows what the offer was.

57
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: I mean, some of the things that I've seen and read,

58
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 3: they make some sense that Saquon I wanted to state

59
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: in the northeast. You know, I think he's from New Jersey,

60
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: played at penn State, and he goes back to his

61
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: college state in Pennsylvania and he gets to see the

62
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 3: Giants twice a year. Man, that's a lot of motivation.

63
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: And circle that for a second. Just put a pin

64
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: in that for a second. I'm gonna come back to that.

65
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 2: That's a lot of motivation.

66
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 3: Too for a for a guy like that's a lot

67
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: of money. It was, it was more money. It was

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 3: back home, if you will, and it's the opportunity to

69
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: see the Giants twice a year. And I can promise

70
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: you there was some vitriol between he and the Giants,

71
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 3: promise you. So, okay, so you don't end up with Barkley,

72
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: and then Christian Wilkins sides with the Raiders, and then

73
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: you see your own moving John Garnard going to Minnesota,

74
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: Blake Castmen going to Minnesota, you know, even Cam Johnston

75
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: going to Steelers.

76
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: That's okay, we'll keep Motor.

77
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: Nope, Motor's gonna end up going back with Brian Dable,

78
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: who he knows from Buffalo, up with the Giants because

79
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: the Giants obviously need it back now, and why not

80
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: go get somebody that you're comfortable with.

81
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: So Dabell went out and got it. So yeah, I.

82
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: Could see, you know, Texans fan spend spend our money,

83
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: spend our money.

84
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: Like I get it, like I understand it to a degree.

85
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 3: But I don't know that I can remember a team

86
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: that ever just relied solely on free agency and went, Yeah,

87
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: this is how we're gonna do this, and there's I

88
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: kind of got that feeling. And of course then you're

89
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: watching the running backs go off the board. So here's

90
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: and you know what I've said. I've said this on

91
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 3: our airwaves. I've said it, you know in Texas All Access.

92
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 3: I've said on sports RADEA six ten with Seawan and Seth.

93
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 3: I've said it nationally. This running back class and the

94
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: draft is not tremendous. It's okay, and there's more value

95
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: kind of late late day too, early day three kind

96
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: of you know, rounds late, you know, three, four and five,

97
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: if you will, maybe on even six and seven, it's

98
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: kind of maybe day three value where you're gonna get that.

99
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: It's not a tremendous running back class.

100
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: So look at the running backs that have gone off

101
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: the board in free agency, mark there's no other position

102
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: where running backs have come off the board more Saquon Barkley,

103
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 3: Devin Singletary, Tony Pollar, Josh Jacobs, DeAndre Swift, Antonio Gibson,

104
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: Gus Edwards, and just recently Austin Eckler ended up signing

105
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 3: with the Commanders. So teams looked at that draft class

106
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 3: and went, oh, let's go get us a veteran. You know,

107
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: by the way, Aaron Jones is still in that mix.

108
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: So I understand that there's a little bit of a panic.

109
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: But if some things that I've read that hey, they

110
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 3: were willing to pay Saquon Barkley three for thirty three,

111
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 3: then they're willing to pay. They've just got to find

112
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: the right guy in the right fit. So Dereck Henry's

113
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: still out there. Aaron Jones just got released by the

114
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: Packers so they could go out and get Josh Jacobs.

115
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 3: So you don't know. You just know that you need

116
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: pieces at the running back position, and look, you never

117
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: know what piece that's gonna end up being. Steve Slayton

118
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 3: was drafting, what third round ends up starting third or

119
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: fourth game of the year, ends up being a candidate

120
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: for the year. He's fantastic. Aaron Foster, look where he

121
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: came from. Running Backs can come from all over, and

122
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: sometimes it's a massive surprise when you look up and go, hey.

123
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 2: The Sun draftic.

124
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: I mean Damian Pierce in the first year, He's a

125
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: fourth round pick. So my gut tells me there's still

126
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: something gonna happen with they're running back. They're gonna find one,

127
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 3: and they're gonna and Damian Pierce is still under contract.

128
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: Now.

129
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: The problem is he's the only one under contract right now.

130
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: Uh from from the tailback position that that has played.

131
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 3: JJ Taylor and Jared Doaks were both practice squad guys,

132
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: so and they've signed reserve future contracts. So you definitely

133
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: are gonna address it. You weren't able to do with

134
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: these guys, and who knows how many of those guys

135
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 3: you wanted. Obviously Barkley was one, it was made known

136
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: that he was, you know, on their radar screen.

137
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: But maybe Derrick Henry was next.

138
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: Maybe they're sitting there right now, maybe Nick is negotiating

139
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 3: with his agent.

140
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: Maybe Nick is on the phone.

141
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: With Drew Rosenhouse, the agent for Aaron Jones, and they're

142
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: talking about a deal.

143
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: So just let it play out.

144
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: Last year, I remember we were probably four or five

145
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 3: days in to the new league year mark it was,

146
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it was after the new league year

147
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: it started, and all of a sudden you look up

148
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: and within thirty minutes to one another, we had signed

149
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: Dalton Schultze Devin Singletary.

150
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, well they were important, yeah.

151
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: Hugely important.

152
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: So from that standpoint, just take a breath and and look,

153
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna burgrudge fans, and you're not either, Mark,

154
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna begrudge fans. You're like, hey, I have

155
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: my mindset on this guy. My heart set in this

156
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: guy means you care. That's awesome. But it's okay because

157
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: somebody is gonna be in that running back position, and

158
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: somebody is gonna turn out to be a good fit.

159
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: At least that's what you hope. And you know, look,

160
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: we find out last year that you know, Damien was

161
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: struggling in this offense, but that one year, what three

162
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 3: million dollars or two and a half million dollars whatever

163
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: you gave to Devin Singletary really paid off. So maybe

164
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: somebody like that comes around baby ends up being a

165
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: draft pick that clicks that you get into, you know,

166
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: third four, fifth round, can get in and klick and wow, wow,

167
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: this guy really kind of.

168
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: Fits with us. It's gonna be okay.

169
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: You gotta make sure that the offensive line is intact

170
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: how you want it, move people back in spots where

171
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: they need to be. Find a running back, whether it's

172
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: in this free you gotta get one of the free

173
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: agents I would have matched just a matter of who

174
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: that's gonna end up being. So I just I just

175
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: don't want to sit there and panic because of it.

176
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: I mean, am I watching him all go off the board?

177
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: Have a little bit of running back envy? Yeah, there's

178
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: a little bit of that. But you know what, if

179
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: twenty two comes from Tennessee and he ends up on

180
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: our backfield, I'd be quite okay with that.

181
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: Well, of course, of course he's the biggest name still

182
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: on the board as far as running backs go. But

183
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: you made the point. I mean, last year he had

184
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary have his best year ever, the best year

185
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: of his career was here, and he didn't even start

186
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: getting reps, real reps till week nine, and then he

187
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: just took off and became one of the better backs

188
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: in the league in this system. So let this thing

189
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: kind of pan out. There's no way that Nick and

190
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: Dimico go into this thing saying all right, we're going

191
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: all in on Barkley. All in means whatever number they

192
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: were willing to max out at. After that, we're cooked.

193
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: We have no other plan. I don't know, I don't know.

194
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: It's Barkley or bust. They didn't think that, So let's

195
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: see what else they can come up with. If in

196
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: fact that was their number one target. It appears it

197
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: might have been. But let me throw it a who's

198
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: better here, Johnny? And look, I'm not sitting here saying

199
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: Derek Henry's gonna sign with the Texans. I mean that'd

200
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: be you want to talk about a headline splash, oh gosh,

201
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: and look, whether it ultimately works or not, hey, in March,

202
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of fun to talk about

203
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: until we see it and then maybe it'll be the

204
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: best thing that ever happened, or maybe it won't work

205
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: as well as you want. But I get it that

206
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: it would give you this incredible dopamine hit in March

207
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: to sign Derek Henry. But you tell me right now,

208
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: who's better, Derek Henry or Sakwan Barkley. To me, I

209
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: know there's system fitting all that, but Derek Henry is

210
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: still Derek Henry. If I'm a defense the last guy

211
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: I want to see at the backfield is Derek Henry.

212
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: I still feel that way. Nick can go into Dimico's

213
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: office and say, how would you defend Derek Henry and

214
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: C J. Stroud with Tank Dell and Nico on the

215
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: outside and shows. How would you like to defend against that?

216
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: Demko might just say, yeah, I see your point, go

217
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: ahead sign him. I don't know, or maybe he says,

218
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: now we can handle that or whatever. I'd rather do

219
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: this and that and the other thing. They've talked about,

220
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: these things, this is actually what they do.

221
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 3: So let's see what this is what they do.

222
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: This is it.

223
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it's true.

224
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: It's like fans act like I mean, everybody's working hard,

225
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: everybody's doing their job. Everybody I love Larry. Larry's out

226
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: there working and paying a lot of attention to it.

227
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: But Larry's got a job, and we all have jobs.

228
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: And even the guys on the radio. I'm listening to

229
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: all these guys all day, they have other things going.

230
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: This is what Nick and Domico do. They live, breede, eat, sleep,

231
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: this stuff, and this is it. So they've got a

232
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: lot of plans. We'll see what works, we'll see what doesn't.

233
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if we don't come out of

234
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: this thing. And by come out of it, I mean

235
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: in the next three weeks, Johnny, you and I are gonna

236
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: sit here three weeks from today, look at what they've

237
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: got and we're gonna say, all right, I get it,

238
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: let's see if it works. Let's see if it works.

239
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: And there's no team in the league that will that

240
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: can't say anything more than that. Well, we'll see, you know,

241
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: how are they gonna do. We'll see. That's what it is.

242
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: And I know it's hard because we all want to

243
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: see that big blazing headline. I want my phone to

244
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: blow up and start smoking with push notifications. But it

245
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: hasn't quite happened that way today.

246
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: No, it hasn't.

247
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 3: And here's the thing though, when you look at what

248
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: the Texans have done there there are two moves to

249
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: me that I think could could really pay off. Now,

250
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: keep in mind, there were some things the Texans did

251
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: before this. They brought back Dalton Schultz, they brought back

252
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: Kaymie Fairbarn, Desmond Ping coming back, Eric Murray coming back.

253
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 3: You know, they brought in, you know, key pieces that

254
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: were here that played roles for this team. And I

255
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: think about the safety position. You had to go out

256
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: and get some veterans because Eric Murray got hurt. I

257
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: was just actually watching the Jacksonville game today and he

258
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: makes a huge play right before the half. You're forcing

259
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: to fumble. Eric Murray's been around and has given whether

260
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 3: special teams defense like he's given a lot to this team.

261
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: Some of those under the radar signings. Another under the

262
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: radar signing.

263
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: They went and got Folo fat Thukasi from Otto Jacksonville.

264
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: That's why I was watching the Jacksonville game again. I've

265
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: always been a fan of that guy. Three hundred and

266
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 3: twenty pounds, quick, strong, He's gonna move into the defensive line.

267
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: But the two moves that they made that I think

268
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: could end up it's kind of one of them to

269
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 3: me is I don't want to say low risk, but

270
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 3: it really is low risk. And that's going on. Getting

271
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: Jeff Wikuda from the Atlanta.

272
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: Falcons incredibly low risk.

273
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: He's twenty five years old.

274
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 3: If he hits a bunch of incentives, it can get

275
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: to a six million dollar deal. Well six million, I

276
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: think is what you paid Steven Nelson last year. Now,

277
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: we don't know what's gonna happen with Nelson, and we

278
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: don't know that Rakuda starts, but there's a.

279
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: Lot of playtime incentives and all that.

280
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 3: And there for Akuda, well that's a guy that got

281
00:12:58,640 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: off to a tough start.

282
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: His first year is the COVID year.

283
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: Then at twenty one his second year, tear's Achilles in

284
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: week two or three. So he goes back from the Achilles,

285
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 3: the Lions moving to Atlanta, and then does some good

286
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: things in Atlanta. But it's so low risk for a

287
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 3: guy that was hugely successful when he's at Ohio State,

288
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: and you hope that he can find that again. And

289
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: then you add to that a guy Mark And you know,

290
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 3: I've talked about this every single time that we have

291
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 3: played the Colts or the Titans with an eco. Autrey

292
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: was in his previous AFC South World Tour. He was

293
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: always a guy that I hated facing.

294
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you always awaits facing.

295
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: You know, I've always I've talked about him for years. Now.

296
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: He's thirty three, he'll be thirty four by the time

297
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 3: the season starts. Okay, but you you went out and

298
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: got Jerry Hughes a couple of years ago, and Jerry

299
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 3: gave you two excellent seasons until he unfortunately got hurt

300
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: against Indianapolis. He made some huge plays. And I'm not

301
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 3: saying that Nico does everything that Jerry does. You gotta

302
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: do it differently. But I'll say this when you have

303
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Simmons, the best player in a Titan saying, oh no,

304
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 3: the Texans got Nico. And at first I saw Nico

305
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 3: and I was like, wait, what's it talking about? We

306
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: already have Nico. Oh no, he's talking about Denico. Denico

307
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: Autry comes in, and here's the thing is he is

308
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: he an inside guys and the outside guy. We don't know,

309
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 3: but I know it's really difficult to block Denico Autry

310
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: because every single offensive line of Texas have had have

311
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: struggled blocking him every single time they've faced him, every time,

312
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: including the time at Tennessee when Outre gets a huge

313
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 3: sack on case Keenum.

314
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: I think it was like two or three sacks in

315
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: a row.

316
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: It felt like, and he got one of them and

317
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: he could still play. That could be a completely under

318
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 3: the radar signing. And yeah, you lose Grenard, I get it.

319
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 3: But when you bring back Deniko and Mark, we can.

320
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: Go through this at some point.

321
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: But there are still some dudes that are that are

322
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: out there for the acquiring, if you will. At defensive end,

323
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: Chase Young's still out there, Daniel Hunter, the Vikings. I

324
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 3: know he's expensive, will be expensive, but he's from Katie.

325
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: You know, he's from Texas. Josh Ucha from the Patriots,

326
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: more outside linebacker type, but Nick I think was part

327
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: of drafting him when he's at University of Michigan. And

328
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: then what happens with Jerry and Derek Barnett only twenty

329
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: seven years old, so maybe you're able.

330
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: To get Derek back. And you add that to.

331
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: Denisko Autry, my j Sanders and of course Will Anderson Junior.

332
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, there's this little thing at

333
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: the end of April called the draft that the Texans

334
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: have done pretty well in that you can go fine,

335
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: whether it's defensive line, running back, to whatever the case

336
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: might be. And I'm not saying you're gonna solve every

337
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: single problem you've got, but you still have got plenty

338
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: of days in a free agency. I mean it goes

339
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: on to the end of the season, now not the

340
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: new league year. Well, now, the new league year is

341
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: gonna start on Wednesday, and then you've got the draft

342
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: coming up where you're gonna have an opportunity because there's

343
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 3: such there's such this fiendish gotta have an.

344
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: Offensive player in his draft.

345
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: There's gonna be some good defense of players that have

346
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: fallen your lap at twenty three, So give it some time,

347
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: you'll see what happens. And Mark, we've seen this a

348
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: million times. I remember in twenty eighteen we did a

349
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: show Show has done at seven seven point fifteen, Tyron

350
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: Matthew had signed with the Texans.

351
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: So and that was late.

352
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: That was late. It was late. So you just never know.

353
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: And we'll kind of well play this thing out and

354
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: just big deep breath and we'll figure it out.

355
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: And beware of the high priced guy. Look, I think

356
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: I understand it. Like I said before, I'm all about

357
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: it too. You know, if you can get Derreck Henry

358
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: or Daniel Hunter, one of these expensive guys, great, but

359
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: you also have to be careful here. I mean the

360
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: three who are the three biggest free agent signings in

361
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: the history of the franchise, Brock Osweiler, aman Creen I

362
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: would say, ed Reid, what's that Jjo? J Jo was huge.

363
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: Jjo was huge, But we talked about that because the

364
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: non Diassima thing you didn't want to or you couldn't

365
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: or whatever where the situation was, you didn't get Namdi.

366
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: So Rick goes out against j Jo and Daniel Manning

367
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: and it all works out beautifully. And look that was

368
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: in a weird, very quick free agent window following the

369
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: lockout in twenty eleven. This is a different situation, so

370
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: many guys still out there. It was funny. I was

371
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: listening to Jim and Patt on Sirius x MNFL radio,

372
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: and Pat was talking about the big money guys coming

373
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: off the board and how quickly those guys went and

374
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. We'll get to that in a few moments,

375
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: but it doesn't really apply to the Texans, although it

376
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: affects competitions, so we can get to that. A lot

377
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: of big names came off early and maybe you know,

378
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: had the Texans gotten Barkley, that's one of them. But

379
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: just let this thing play out now. I do agree

380
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: with this the running back situation, because I can look

381
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: at every other position on the team and say, okay,

382
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: I see it here, I see it there, even linebacker.

383
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: With Cashman going to Minnesota, he's from Eden Prairie. That's

384
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: great for him to be able to go home. And

385
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, I've taught to Paul Allen, voice of the Vikings,

386
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: and he's always known about him. I think he went

387
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: to high school the same high school or something like that,

388
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: But I still see what they can possibly do there

389
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: with what they've gotten, what they can do with what's left,

390
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: And there's a lot left, There's a ton left. Most

391
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: of it's left in free agency. But with the running

392
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: back situation, it's weird because a year ago, we're like,

393
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,239
Speaker 1: we're all set at running back with the starter. All

394
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: we need to do is compliment here, right. It was

395
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: just it's strange how quickly things can turn in this league.

396
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: Now it's well, wait a minute, is Damien gonna get

397
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: back to twenty twenty two? Damien is gonna be twenty

398
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: twenty three? Damien? What's gonna happen with Damien this year?

399
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: Definitely need running backs, You need them anyway to feel

400
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: a team right here? So how are they gonna handle that?

401
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: But there are running backs still available on the market,

402
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: and I think people have to be aware of that.

403
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: You know, you still have Aaron Jones, Derek Henry nahem Heinz,

404
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want him, Alexander Madison, I

405
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: mean their names galore here, Clyde Edwards, Hilere, anybody I

406
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: don't know, after a while becomes guys that all right,

407
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: let's give him a shot. See what happens after a while,

408
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: it becomes that, and maybe that's what it is, and

409
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: maybe they hit lightning in a bottle. Maybe they don't.

410
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: But nobody got too excited about Singletary last year. But

411
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: I looked at it very quickly and said, oh wow,

412
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: they got the Bills top guy, and the Bills just

413
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: didn't want to pay him because he was becoming an

414
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: unrestricted free agent. It was one of those things. And

415
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: the Texans paid him, not a lot, but just a

416
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: one year deal. And look what happened to him. So

417
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: let's see if they can work something out here with

418
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: what's available. Johnny Punter is another one, because you'd love

419
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: to have that locked up. Johnston goes to Pittsburgh and

420
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: now you look at what's out there, and there are

421
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: some interesting Yeah. I did pull up the free agent

422
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: punters at one point here, and there are some interesting names,

423
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: you know. I did, Corey Butjorquez, Tommy Townsend, Rigaberto Sanchez.

424
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see. Braden Man's not bad at all.

425
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you could go to Philadelphia get their punter

426
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: again like you did with Cameron Johnston. But they'll do

427
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: something at punter. I'll get that figured out.

428
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: All right.

429
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: I'll say this, if Nick's gonna hopefully he's gonna sign

430
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 3: a punter, because I just can't do draft analys to

431
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: some punters.

432
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it. I know the guy that I.

433
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 3: Was a stud, Tory Taylor. I know he's a stud

434
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: that That's pretty much all I know. But he better

435
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 3: not make me do draft work on punters.

436
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be furious with him.

437
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: Dick Casty is the first rounder and a punter. You

438
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: know what, we had good punting last year. We didn't

439
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: get camp Back first round pick.

440
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ray Guy and Sebastia Janakowski.

441
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 3: Uh, two guys the Raiders end up taking in the

442
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 3: in the first round.

443
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean running back.

444
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: You know, Derek Henry, Aaron Jones, Cordero, Patterson has been

445
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 3: around Nick's obviously have experience with him. You know, Ezekiel

446
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 3: Elliott is still on the market, and I know a

447
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 3: lot of people think, you know, Zeke's washed, but you know,

448
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 3: for a year or two, you know, I think in

449
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 3: an offense like this could maybe kind of get his

450
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 3: He had some good, good, solid ball games with the

451
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 3: Patriots last year when they didn't have really anything going

452
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: Clyde Edwards, Ulair, look Deonta Foreman, and look, there's also

453
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: where they're could be situations where you might trade for

454
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: a running back. You might look at a place and go, hey,

455
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 3: wait a second, they got a couple of running backs.

456
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 3: You know, the Bear signed DeAndre Swift. So I don't know,

457
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 3: maybe maybe the Texas call and say, hey, maybe you're

458
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 3: not gonna usual Shan Johnson. You know that third round

459
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 3: draft pick you had last year, let's talk.

460
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 2: Or I don't know, Cliar Herbert, Yeah, that's a guy.

461
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: Maybe you're not using. Hey, let's talk.

462
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 3: You know, there might be one of those situations that

463
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: we're not thinking about, you know, cause last year I remember,

464
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 3: you know, hey we need some offensive lineman, and all

465
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 3: a sudden you look up, Oh, Texas has made a

466
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: trade for Shaq Mason. So there might be a trade

467
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: that's that's available, that's out there at a place where.

468
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: There's so logical. Listen, let everybody freak out. Day one, Johnny, like,

469
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: it's over, this is it. You can't sign any more players.

470
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: It's it's six thirty, close to it, six thirty Central

471
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: March eleventh. We haven't even started the league year. No

472
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: more signings. You play on Saturday or Sunday. Good luck.

473
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a few running backs I'm gon hit

474
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 3: you with and just ask your thoughts on him and

475
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 3: see see what you would think. Obviously, Dar Dar is

476
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 3: a free agency as a free agent JK. Dobbins, he's

477
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: twenty five years old, but he just couldn't stay healthy.

478
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: Is it too much? Hell's too much an issue?

479
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I this is not gonna be incredible. I mean,

480
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: everybody loves Darry right right the field goal in the

481
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: Buccaneers game. You know, he runs the ball well when

482
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: he's out there, but he's the third guy. We all

483
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: get it. I'm not opposed to bringing Darray back. Oh,

484
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm you probably feel the game, I mean special teams

485
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: and you know, reserve running back and whatever, and the

486
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: guy could kick a field goal. I mean I'm joking

487
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: here about that yet not because it actually happened in

488
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: a game and you needed that point. That that triple

489
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: so to me, I'm okay with that. But yeah, I

490
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: noticed Dobbins. Look, they're gonna have to find a diamond

491
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: in the rough that way. If it's not Henry, I

492
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: mean I'd be surprised if it's Henry, just based on

493
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: the fact that there's one Derreck Henry and there's thirty

494
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: two teams and is it really gonna be you? And

495
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: who knows? But this today also shows you another thing.

496
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: And you and I have always talked about this. Everybody

497
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: talks about wanting to play here, there, everywhere a lot

498
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 1: of the time, maybe most of the time. I think

499
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: if McClain was on with us right now, it'd say

500
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: it all comes down to the money. You know what

501
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: I mean.

502
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: Money, I can't I.

503
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: Can't being a GM and the agents on the phone,

504
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: well that was a great offer, but you know, since

505
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: we last talked, in the last five minutes, they countered

506
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: with this, So now what are you gonna do? I'm thinking, well,

507
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: what am I doing here? I'm negotiating against myself. Who

508
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: is it?

509
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: What they offer?

510
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: And at some point you're done because you feel like,

511
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 1: wait a minute, it's a lot of us have been

512
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: to these events where you see people and I don't

513
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: participate in these auctions at these fundraisers, you know, but

514
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: you see and I know you've done these things too,

515
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: and you see people bidding on things. At some point

516
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: it ends what just broke. We got news, We got

517
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: the sports radio six ten sounder. I don't mind playing that.

518
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: Well, you got news news, let's go.

519
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: You remember the you remember the email I sent you?

520
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: Remember the email I sent you?

521
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 2: Just you? Who did I say that I wanted to

522
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 2: sign a linebacker?

523
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 1: Uh? Was it Aziz al Shire?

524
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 2: The Texans are expected to sign Titans linebacker AZ's al

525
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: Shire three year, thirty four million dollars deal. Yes, sir,

526
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: let's all right, dude.

527
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are thinking, what this

528
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: is huge? This mass is a monster. That's huge. That's why. Look,

529
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: we love Blake, but come on, this guy is a terror.

530
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: His terror big awesome news.

531
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: As he's al Shire played last year with the Titans,

532
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 3: that means the Texas are taking two Titans, the Niko

533
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 3: Autry and now as he's al Shaire. That connection to

534
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: Tamiko Ryans. He played for Tamiko Ryans at San Francisco.

535
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: He went to Tennessee for a year and now he

536
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 3: ends up coming to the city of Houston.

537
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: He is a man. It's a game changer at linebacker.

538
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: That is awesome.

539
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 3: He's gonna step right in, knows this defense. He and

540
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 3: Christian Harris on the field. Man Mark I love this move.

541
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: Fifth in the league in tackles last year. All right,

542
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: he's a tackling machine and he's one of these guys

543
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: we talked about Alex Singleton and j Okay and people

544
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: like that. Look, they're not all built the same way,

545
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: but he has that presence about him. Where get that

546
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: guy off of our guy? You know, he's just always around,

547
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: always in the play. Just vicious, ferocious, violent, everything you

548
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: want in a linebacker. And you're right, you did target him.

549
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: That's a John Harris target player as a free agent,

550
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: and it appears that the Houston Texans will get him.

551
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: All right. We're gonna talk about that and talk about

552
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: the rest of the AFC South Who got better today?

553
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: Are we impressed or not with some of the moves

554
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: made by the teams so far? The day, the week,

555
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: the year is. In fact, the year hasn't even started yet.

556
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: It's that young the NFL league year, which begins Wednesday

557
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: at three Central, It's Texans Radio. Sez al Shire reportedly

558
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: signing with the Houston Texans, fifth in the league in

559
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: tackles last year for the Tennessee Titans. Before that, he

560
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: was a San Francisco forty nin er for Deamico Ryans

561
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: and really blew up last year that was his best

562
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: year as a pro, and they went the one year

563
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: deal seeing if it would work out.

564
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 2: Well.

565
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: It worked out great for a ease as he gets

566
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: to be a Texan reportedly, So we'll find out, Johnny,

567
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: do you want to give credit to whoever broke that

568
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: story or is that most the.

569
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 3: One that I saw and I was gonna get into

570
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: that was Ian Rapaport was who I saw break that news.

571
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: That was the folk that I read.

572
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: Now, I mean I have gone far enough because I

573
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: got just to that and I saw it. But I

574
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: think it was Ian Rapaport who got that three years

575
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 3: thirty four million dollars mark.

576
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: My money was off a little bit. The one I

577
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: sent you.

578
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 3: I had three years twenty seven million, so I was

579
00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: off a little bit.

580
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 2: That's okay. I would have you have said, hey, change

581
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: it the three for thirty four.

582
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: I have been like fine, because I think this dude

583
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 3: man watching with the forty nine ers, you know, with

584
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 3: Drake Greenlaw and and Fred Warner. You know, green Laws

585
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: hurt to think at one point and al Shire had

586
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 3: to step in and has always you know, been a force,

587
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 3: especially the run game. But man, seeing him up close

588
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 3: last year, so quick, so explosive to the ball, and

589
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 3: now he's coming back to a defense that he's comfortable with.

590
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: Man, this is awesome news. This is a great way.

591
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: Uh, this is a great way for it to happen,

592
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 3: like right during our show.

593
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 2: Man, that's just that's freaking awesome, awesome.

594
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:38,239
Speaker 3: Uh.

595
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: With the Texans. So now you have Christian Harris, you

596
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: have ziz Al Schier, you have Henry toe toe. So

597
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: that's pretty good right there. Jake Hanson, is he a

598
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: free agent?

599
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: No, not yet, not yet?

600
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: Oh not yet. Oh he's still under contract.

601
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: I think he's I believe he's still under contract.

602
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: So because he didn't draft him, he was an undrafted

603
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: free agent, but laid well in spots and obviously good

604
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: special teamer. So we'll see if they do anything else there.

605
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: But look that starts to come into shape here, come

606
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: into focus, if you will, because with on the edges,

607
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: let's just go here defense real quick, Will Anderson, did

608
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: he go autre? If you had to play this weekend, Johnny,

609
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: you got Malik at defensive tackle, you probably start Fotokasi

610
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: or Kurt Heinis. Right now, the way it's going but

611
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: they did. They did get Khalil Davis back.

612
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: Sneaky hot.

613
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: Yep, that is sneaky hot right there. You gotta point

614
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: that out. And by the way, God bless Dylan Horton

615
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: who was diagnosed with lymphoma. He's in remission right now.

616
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: You can check out the Texans Twitter feed or x

617
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: feed for that Houston Texans dot com for more information

618
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: on him, and we wish him nothing but the best

619
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: in his recovery and march back to play in football.

620
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: But Horton was diagnosed back in December, and man, that

621
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: was that was big news. That came down today to

622
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: everything else. But in the linebacking Corps Christian Harris Henry

623
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: asease now you go corner. By the way, Johnny, this

624
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: is not exactly breaking news. But Jeff Okuda, his daughter

625
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: apparently apparently is in the same class as my niece.

626
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: My niece in the Dallas area is in the same

627
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: class and they are friends. Is friends with Jeff Acuda's daughter.

628
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: How come my niece who's five years old, did not

629
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: leak the story to me so I could break it.

630
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: Very upset with her, that know.

631
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 3: I'm telling you that idiot that is that is found

632
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 3: money in your pocket. If Akudah turns into even just

633
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 3: a solid starter, I mean, that's found money. I mean,

634
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 3: I know he's on his third team. That was kind

635
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: of you know at first, like, you know, he's on

636
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 3: his third team, and I thought, man, this guy's still young.

637
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 3: He is a I believe he's a Texan. He's from

638
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 3: I think he's from state of Texas, so he comes

639
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 3: back home in some sense in some respects, so you know,

640
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 3: a corner I still think even with you know, they

641
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 3: also signed Mike Ford, who had done a lot of

642
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 3: special teams with some spot duty on defense as well.

643
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: And of course I don't think Lannie is gonna end

644
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 3: up playing corner. I think that's more a safety special

645
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 3: teams thing. But you know, we'll see how that ends

646
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 3: up going as well. But you can tell the Texans

647
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: definitely eyeball the defensive backs and said, hey, we got

648
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 3: to get better there.

649
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: I mean they had to.

650
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: I did my position breakdown, and you're like, man, they

651
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 3: got Sting, Petrie Ward, Kadar mj. Those are the guys

652
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 3: you had under contract. And then D'Angelo Ross end up

653
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: signing in January, and then you got Troy.

654
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: Prior who side a future reserve contract, so you.

655
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: Didn't have much depth at that defensive back position in general.

656
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: Then you resigned Chris Boyd, then you resign Eric Murray,

657
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 3: then you resign Desmond King, who has been fantastic for you.

658
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: So you get that kind of stuff done in the secondary.

659
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 3: I still think Mark, then in the draft at corner,

660
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 3: they'll look at somebody in particular at corner, because this

661
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 3: is a really strong corner draft. And I wouldn't be

662
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 3: surprised because this is a really strange year, Mark, and

663
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: the fact that.

664
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 2: There are a lot of Nickels, like really good guys

665
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: that play nickel.

666
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 3: Jerry and Jones from Florida State, Mikey Sanders still from

667
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 3: out of Michigan, Andrew Phillips from Kentucky, Jarvis Brownlee from Louisville.

668
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 3: There's some really good guys that could play Nickel if

669
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 3: you need him to. They're different from Desmond, but they

670
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: could play Nickel, and you know, if you wanted to

671
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: go young there as well. So just some interesting stuff

672
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 3: that they're doing, and man, this defense, now, you know,

673
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: we'll figure out what more they're gonna end up doing defensively.

674
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: Do they look in the draft for somebody out on

675
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 3: the edge.

676
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 2: But I'm with you.

677
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: I think Will and Will and Deniko Autry, Fatukasi and Malik.

678
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: If you had to play a game and.

679
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: That's a front four that has ziz al Shire and

680
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 3: Christian Harris Henry Toatoe, I think would end up loving

681
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 3: playing behind because you got a little bit of everything.

682
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: You've got power with Autrey, obviously, you got the twitch

683
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: Van Anderson, Malik's quickness, and then you've got size with

684
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: Fatsukasi and Mark. I'm telling you, for a guy that's

685
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 3: three hundred and twenty pounds, he's quick.

686
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: He's really quick.

687
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 3: I was watching our game from Week three against him,

688
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 3: and he was tough to block at times in that game.

689
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 3: So I think that's a sneaky signing. He was a

690
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: cap casualty in Jacksonville. Nick went picked him up, like

691
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 3: all right, he's in here, let's go. So I like

692
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 3: the bull string.

693
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 2: They're doing a defensive line.

694
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: And there's no way that you know it turns out

695
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: to I'd be shocked if it turns out to be

696
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: that as starters necessarily, But right, look at last year,

697
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: look at what they had to do, Look at all

698
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: the different lineups they had both sides of the ball,

699
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: all situations, all occasions, all the injuries they had to overcome.

700
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: It's no joke. I mean, you have to have two

701
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: three layers to this thing. So bring them all in,

702
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: bringing everybody you possibly can, because you never know's gonnaut.

703
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: There's no way that. When they picked up Derek Barnett

704
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: relatively late, we thought, all right, let's see how this goes.

705
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: Derek Barnett turns into I mean not MVP, but a

706
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: very important player, you know, a VIP very important player

707
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: because you had all the injuries to defensive end both

708
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: Grenard and will Anderson having him as some games, where

709
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: would you be without Derek Barnett. He's one of these

710
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: where would you be with without him? Guys? So players

711
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: like that, and look, he was picked up during the

712
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: season last year. You picked up your starting right tackle

713
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: at the start of training camp. That's how these things go.

714
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: I know, no one wants to hear it right now.

715
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: Day one. We want excitement on Monday, March eleventh, it's

716
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: March Madness free agency. But I think there's some things

717
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: today to look at and say, okay, let's see where

718
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: they go from here. Let's go to the Jags. Johnny

719
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: the Jags. The Jags get Gabriel Davis. So Gabe Davis,

720
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: Kapriel gave Davis from the Buffalo Bills. And this is

721
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: an intrigue. You and I talked about him, that he's

722
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: gonna make a nice number three for the Houston Texans.

723
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: But correct me if I'm wrong. He's the number two

724
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville.

725
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: Right at a minimum?

726
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, would say who would you say

727
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 3: is the number one?

728
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: You say it's Kirk or you say it's I think

729
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: it's gotta be Kirk. It can't be Gabe Davis.

730
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: I mean, but can you have the number one guy?

731
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 2: That's just a slock eyeen Kirk? I mean, I don't.

732
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: Know, but like it's just as far as we're gonna

733
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: go to him that often, you know. And I know

734
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: with Ingram they got a good tight end. They do know.

735
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 2: Was he still there all right? Might be the number one?

736
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: To be honest, I mean, yeah.

737
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: Really I'd look for him a lot now. I think

738
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: they did a good job locking up some offensive lineman

739
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: and also going out and getting Mitch Morse from the

740
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. You know, it's good for them. Duvernet replaces

741
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: Jamal agnew right correct as a return guy. So they

742
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: got him from the Baltimore Ravens. They lose Fanoicosi to

743
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: the Texans. They get Look, they got a lot of

744
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: work to do. The Jags fans they could be excited,

745
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: I guess, but they are so not that nobody's done.

746
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give everybody an incomplete here. It's day one.

747
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: You have to give them some time to put their

748
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: teams together. You're building ninety man rosters, and as we

749
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: just said, you end up using maybe most of those

750
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: guys throughout the course of a seventeen game season. But

751
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: the Mac Jones thing struck me in that they traded

752
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: for Mac Jones. They didn't give up a lot, but

753
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: they felt they needed a good backup quarterback. I found

754
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: that interesting. I felt like the Patriots should have been

755
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: able to get a little more for Mac Jones, and

756
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 1: maybe they just settled. I don't know what the deal

757
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: was there. If I'm Mac Jones, I'm not happy playing

758
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: behind Trevor Lawrence because I want to play. I would

759
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: have loved to go to the Raiders or some place

760
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: like that where I could possibly play. So interesting your

761
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Jags. You know, the gave Davis thing.

762
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, I mean, honestly, Mark, he

763
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 3: might be the number one there.

764
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what happens with Calvin Ridley

765
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 2: in this goes.

766
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: You know what we mentioned earlier, how the draft, the

767
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 3: soon to be draft impacts what teams do free agent wise.

768
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 3: You have many big time wide receivers signed today and

769
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 3: day one or not. They didn't sign, but they agreed

770
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: to terms on day one. I have it here somewhere

771
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 3: one Gabe Davis. Did I miss somebody else? I don't

772
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 3: know how many running backs? Two four sixty seven seven

773
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 3: running backs because teams are like, we gotta get running

774
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 3: back where you can't really get in a draft. One

775
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: wide receiver. Why because this draft is cheap labor and

776
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 3: it's loaded with wide receivers. So teams are like, am

777
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 3: I gonna go over there and pay three for fifty

778
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 3: for this particular wide receiver free agent? Heck no, I

779
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 3: mean even the guys at the top, T Higgins now

780
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 3: asking for a trade Calvin Ridley not signed. You think, wait,

781
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley could be a number one for somebody, right,

782
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 3: I mean I don't think that, but there's somebody out

783
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 3: there thinking, hey, we can use us at Calvin Ridley.

784
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: One wide receiver signed today. That tells you what the

785
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 3: NFL feels about this draft at wide receiver that they

786
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 3: can get young, cheaper labor if they just wait about well,

787
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 3: I don't know, a month and a half, they can

788
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 3: get that wide receiver. So it'll be interesting to see

789
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 3: what happens with this wide receiver market that's still got

790
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: some you know names you know that are out there now.

791
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 3: Whatever Duverne is or you know, I don't know. I

792
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 3: see him more as a weapon X than I do

793
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 3: wide receiver. But yeah, yeah, the wide receivers had not

794
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 3: come off the board. So from the Jaguars perspective, I

795
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 3: think Gabe Davis is a solid signing for them. I

796
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 3: think the Moor Mitch Morse thing at center is probably

797
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 3: the best thing to happen to them. Helps their offensive line,

798
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 3: whether he's the guy or he competes Mac. The mac

799
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: Jones trade was kind of interesting because I kind of

800
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: think that CJ. Bethard is I don't know, maybe better

801
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 3: than Max. Better for the time, I would think, I.

802
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: Mean, I don't know.

803
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 3: So Mack goes back home, he's from Jacksonville. So he

804
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 3: goes back home where he was a start at the

805
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: Bowls School. So he goes back to Jacksonville, and you know,

806
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 3: kind of, you know, look at what's happening with Gardner Minshew.

807
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 3: You know Gardner mitchewho took a backup job with the

808
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 3: Eagles and then Jaalen Hurts got banged up a little

809
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 3: bit and Minshew had to come in and play a

810
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 3: little bit in twenty twenty two and kind of got

811
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: them out of some bad situations. He then signs with

812
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 3: Stiking into Colts last year, expected to be the backup.

813
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 3: What happens, Anthony Richardson goes down, Mitchew almost gets the

814
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 3: Colts to the playoffs. I'm not saying Mac Jones is

815
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: gonna step in and take the Jaguars to the playoffs,

816
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 3: but they got a competent backup now at least now

817
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 3: it's just a matter of where they do with Trevor Lawrence.

818
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 3: But you're right, I don't think any of these teams

819
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 3: are done. Mark the Titans. They signed Tony Pollard, Lloyd

820
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: Cushionberry Cherobia Wouse.

821
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 2: From the Bengals.

822
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 3: Those are three pretty solid signings, but they also lost

823
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 3: to of their rock stars on defense and Nike Routry

824
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 3: and Al Shaire both of them coming.

825
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: To the Texans.

826
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 3: So it's kind of interesting to just watch this division

827
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 3: and then the one and we could talk about this

828
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: probably throughout the week too. The Colts gave Michael Pittman

829
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 3: a massive kind of ID say massive contract. It's a

830
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 3: pretty big deal. I thought it was big for him.

831
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 3: I didn't think he was worth that much. Would not

832
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 3: have paid that much for Michael Pittman. Now when I

833
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 3: give that deal to Nico Collins, I yeah, And maybe

834
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 3: Nico's gonna end up being worth it more than that,

835
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 3: but I would imagine if I'm Nico's agent.

836
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: That's kind of the starting point. I just thought it was.

837
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 3: I thought it was too much money to give Michael Pittman,

838
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 3: but you know that's the cults prerogative.

839
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh.

840
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: Back to the Titans here for a moment. You go

841
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: from Derreck Henry to Tony Pollard, and some of the

842
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: Twitter reaction was just hilarious because Tony Pollard is not

843
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: a bad back at all. But that's that's like going

844
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: from you know, you finally got you got this ribi

845
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: in front of you and it's awesome and you just

846
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: can't wait. It's a Ribbi. It looks great. And now

847
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to a burger that's been you know, I

848
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't wanna sult Tony Pollard. It's

849
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: just not the same, you know, it's not might be

850
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: a decent burger, could be a decent burger, and they're

851
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: gonna run the Cincinnati stuff in Tennessee. But man, oh man,

852
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: it completely changes the universe for them. So we'll see

853
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: what happens. And that's to me, that's that's the big

854
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: change worth talking about with them. I'm fascinated. Well maybe

855
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: fascinated is too strong a word, but Minshew leaving the

856
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: Colts is it's a big move because what are they

857
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: gonna do now? They need a backup quarterback that I

858
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: miss something they don't have. They have Ellinger still there.

859
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: Minshew goes to Vegas, which I think is wonderful for him.

860
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: He could start there, right, he could play there. Now

861
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: he might not. Maybe they trade, maybe they trade for fields,

862
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: maybe they do something else. Maybe it gets beat out.

863
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: Maybe O'Connell's better than him. But I think Minshew as

864
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: a raider, just as an NFL fan, that kind of

865
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to me, doesn't it to you?

866
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: It does?

867
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 3: It does, And the money they gave him, I look

868
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 3: at it and go, man, that's starter money. That's starter

869
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 3: at worst. At worst, it's bridge quarterback money. And I

870
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 3: can't remember where the Raiders are drafting in this draft.

871
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 3: I want to say seven, but I think it's prob'll

872
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 3: be further down. Maybe it's eleven.

873
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

874
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 3: But there's obviously a lot of talk now about what

875
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 3: the Raiders will do at quarterback, and it's gonna be

876
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 3: they can't. They more likely aren't gonna get their hands

877
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 3: on the top three guys unless they sell the farm,

878
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 3: uh to move up to you know, trade with the

879
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 3: Patriots or the or the Bears or the Commanders.

880
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna do that.

881
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 3: So they gotten to get Gardner Mitshew, so they got

882
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 3: pretty good insurance, and they're just gonna probably let the

883
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,479
Speaker 3: draft kind of fall in through lap and see whether

884
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 3: they can maybe get their hands on a JJ McCarthy

885
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 3: or wait a second, you know, maybe it's maybe they

886
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 3: really like Michael Pennix, and you know that's a spot,

887
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 3: you know, it's I think it's too early for for

888
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 3: Penix or Nicks whoever. But you know, if they can

889
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 3: get in a spot where JJ McCarthy gets to them. Look,

890
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 3: Minnesota needs a quarterback now because Kirk Cousins.

891
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 2: Goes to the Atlanta Falcons.

892
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 3: Man, We've had so much since you and I were

893
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: on the air on Friday. Russell Wilson goes to the Steelers. Yeah,

894
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: he doesn't goes to the Falcons.

895
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 2: It's been nuts the last few days.

896
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk about that next and reset the Texans

897
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: situation as we are how many hours is it? Eight

898
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: hours into the legal tampering period. It's Texans All Access

899
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: Loan vandamer John Harris with you wrapping it up here

900
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: as we're gonna be live all week talking about free agency,

901
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: and you want to keep it locked into Sports Radio

902
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: six ten all week for the late breaking news and

903
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: information during this program. As he's al Shier reportedly was

904
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: reported that he would become a Houston Texans that they

905
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: had agreed to terms. A linebacker who led the Tennessee

906
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,479
Speaker 1: Titans and tackles fit in the league and tackles played

907
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: for Demiico Ryans at San Francisco, and he will be

908
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: a good boost for that front seven. So on the

909
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 1: front seven, Denico Autri, Florenzo Fatacasi, I just like saying Filorunzo,

910
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: but they shortened it to Foley and also is sel

911
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: Shire who will four toify that front seven. But more

912
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: work to be done. They're going to do a lot

913
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: more than what they did today, So stay tuned for

914
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: that now, Johnny, you mentioned it Texans playing in the

915
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: NSC North, so you get Detroit coming here, you get

916
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears coming here with I assume Caleb Williams,

917
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: although I shouldn't assume anything at this point. I don't

918
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen with Justin Fields. So as far

919
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: as Texans opponents, that's still a little bit of a question.

920
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: Marked there a quarterback for the Bears when they invade

921
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: NRG Stadium this year, and you're gonna play Minnesota, and

922
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: we'll see who the quarterback is gonna be for them,

923
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 1: because no more Kirk Cousins in Minnesota after he flees

924
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: to Atlanta for a big money Kurt has played this

925
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: thing so well. Good job, Kirk. You are a very

926
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: rich man. Got that huge guaranteed deal when he left

927
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: Washington to go to the Vikings in the first place,

928
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: has just played it beautifully throughout his career. No no

929
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: one was ever gonna give him two hundred and thirty

930
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: million guaranteed. But at the end of the day, his

931
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 1: bank account is gonna be stacked because I'm sure he's

932
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: taking pretty good care of the money. You know, he

933
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: has a nice house. You saw it on that HBO

934
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: show of Quarterbacks. But Kirk Cousins in Atlanta, and I

935
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: heard all the hyperbole today. This makes Atlanta one of

936
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: the best teams the NFC. A we'll say about that.

937
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: I do think they would have won the division with

938
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins last.

939
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 3: Year though, Yeah, absolutely, And I think that's one of

940
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 3: the things that works in their favor. All of the

941
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 3: Bucks have Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield going back. They

942
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 3: Bucks make a big deal trading Carlton Davis and the Lions.

943
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 3: Lions needed a lot of help at corner. But I

944
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 3: think in the NFC mark they've got a shot because

945
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 3: the NFC is nowhere like the AFC. Like if the

946
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: if the Falcons were into AFC, it'd be like, all right, whatever.

947
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 2: But in the NFC, they're gonna have it. They're gonna

948
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 2: have a shot.

949
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 3: Because they're loaded with offensive talent and now they've got

950
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 3: a guy that can get those guys the ball.

951
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be interesting to watch from afar.

952
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 3: But like you said, playing in the NFC North, that

953
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 3: means we played Jared Goff here in Detroit or Troy

954
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 3: Lions Jared Goff plaim here. Then we play Caleb Williams

955
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 3: more than likely here. But then we go on the

956
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 3: road and we face the Vikings and we don't know

957
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 3: who the quarterback will be, and then.

958
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 2: We play the Packers, Jordan Love.

959
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 3: The Packers made news today by releasing Aaron Jones shortly

960
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 3: after they had signed a deal with Josh Jacobs, so

961
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 3: they get a little bit younger at the running back position.

962
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 3: I think the Packers are gonna be salty next year.

963
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 3: They're young, really young. So what it did, though, is

964
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 3: it put Aaron Jones on the market. And I remember Mark,

965
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 3: all those thirty visits, all these prospects take I remember

966
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 3: seeing Aaron Jones in our cafeteria long long time ago.

967
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 3: That would be a guy he's gonna he's gonna know

968
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 3: this offense. I mean they're running a version of it

969
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 3: up in Green Bay. So it's gonna be really interesting

970
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:34,240
Speaker 3: to watch.

971
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: You never know it's gonna be any interesting evening and

972
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: you want to follow along with Area forty five, Sean

973
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: Bajani and Patrick Crayton will keep your company throughout the night,

974
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: talking free agency and whatever else comes up. Johnny, thank you.

975
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow at six. Have a great night.

976
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening. Go Texans,
