1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,240
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody.

2
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: Welcome into a Monday edition of Texans All Access.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah boy, going solo all week.

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 2: John Harrison Football Analysts sideline reporter as Mark gets some

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: R and R this week.

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got plenty for you throughout the week.

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: We've got all these players interviews that we had media days,

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: so we're gonna hear a few of those today and

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: we're gonna add in and where are they now? With

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: Anthony Hill, I thought when the Hill was coming out

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: of an Cy State, I was before you I even

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: knew he's coming to Texans.

13
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: I was like, that dude can play.

14
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: And then the injuries as they have at the tight

15
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: end position have left their mark for a lot of

16
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: tight ends. But Anthony Hill, as aware are they now,

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: was exceptional and we'll have him with Drew Dory a

18
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: little later in the show. Plus we've got Davis Mills tonight.

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: It's fun to catch up with Davis. I actually was

20
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: out for dinner the other night with my wife and

21
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: kids and just sitting there and look over, I'm like, Hey,

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: that's Davis, same place I was, So I guess I

23
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: must be hanging out with some pretty good places to

24
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: have the same place as Davis Mills.

25
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: That was kind of fun.

26
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: But Davis will be by in a little bit with

27
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: a good time talking to him about how the quarterback

28
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: room has changed, what he's looking forward to do in

29
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Thinks he's learned in the two years

30
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: he's been in this city and what has he been

31
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 2: learning from Bobby Slowck and this Texans offense. I don't

32
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: even want to refer to it as the forty nine

33
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: ers offense anymore. It's a Texans offense. It's a Bobby

34
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: Slowic run offense with elements, of course from the forty

35
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: nine ers, but hopefully coach Slowank's gonna make it his

36
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: own and Davis mill speaks to that as well. But

37
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: we're gonna kick off the show with the guy that

38
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: when he signed with the Texans, I was thrilled with

39
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: the caveat that's come with a lot of these free agents,

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: and that is if he's healthy. If he's healthy, Denzel

41
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: Perriman can be an absolute baller. He can run sideline

42
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: to sideline, make plays. His speed is it's wow. I

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: did a Tellstrader of it's only one play, but it's

44
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: just it's showing you that speed I can't.

45
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: I think it was the Broncos.

46
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: It was a zone play he ran, he ran through

47
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: on a backside and tackled it for a loss before

48
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: the play.

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Even had any chance of developing. I mean, it was incredible.

50
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: And that's what you're gonna get with Denzel Perryman if

51
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: he's healthy. And when he is healthy, I think this

52
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: linebacking corps can be deep. I think can be very talented.

53
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: You bring in Denzel perim You adam to Christian Kirks,

54
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: he was already here. You adam to Christian Harris, who

55
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: I think has got an opportunity to be one of

56
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: the most important Texans on this team. You adam to

57
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: Jake Hansen, who he had on I think a couple

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: of nights ago.

59
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: Jake I thought had a great end of the season.

60
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two.

61
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: You bring back Neville Hewitt, You signed Corey Littleton, but

62
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: then you signed Denzel Perriman and he could be the

63
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: game changer on this run defensive run defense that has

64
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: been Let's be honest, it's been off for the last

65
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 2: couple of years, and that's got a change and Denzel

66
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: Perramid's gonna do everything possible to make that better. And

67
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: he started by coming in studio with Mark and I

68
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: and discussing well, coming to Houston, his background, staying healthy.

69
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: He was a really fun guy to talk to you,

70
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: and of course, you know, we had to talk about

71
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: the you from the fact that Mark's well, he's a

72
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: hurricane and Denzel's arct kind of fell left out a

73
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 2: little bit.

74
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: But well you'll hear what happens here with Denzel Paraman.

75
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: Denzel Peramid joining us in the hun Day Texans Radio studio.

76
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 3: Welcome to Houston.

00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,639

Speaker 5: great man.

80
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: Than all right, So, how's the adjustment been to being

82
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: to have you here, being around Tomko, being around Matt Burke,

83
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: the entire staff.

84
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: What's it been like for you?

85
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 6: I'm an adjustment has been been quite an adjustment. I

86
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 6: would say the weather to start with, It's been a

87
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 6: minute since I've been you know, in this humidity. Yeah,

88
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 6: I can't say that, but you know, just the energy,

89
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 6: you know, being around the guys. Coach Demco I tell

90
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 6: him all the time, you know, I feel like, you know,

91
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 6: he still wants to play.

92
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 5: You know, that's how much the.

93
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 6: Energy you know, he cares, you know, around and you

94
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 6: know everybody just feeds off of it.

95
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: Denzil, I'm sure there are a lot of reasons for everything,

96
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: but what was kind of the main couple of reasons

97
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: for you to pick Houston to come here to play

98
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: for the Texans?

99
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 6: Well, honestly, it is because you know, they were one

100
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 6: of the teams that, you know, really to give me

101
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 6: an opportunity, you know, me coming off my shoulder surgery.

102
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 6: They were, you know, one of the teams that was,

103
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 6: you know, real adamant about you know, getting me on

104
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 6: and you know, uh, you know, actually give me a deal.

105
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 5: So so did it?

106
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people sometimes well they love me,

107
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna love them. Maybe it wasn't quite like that,

108
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: But just the fact that they looked at you and said,

109
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: we know you can still play.

110
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: We believe in you. How much did that matter to

111
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: you and the whole decision making process.

112
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 6: I mean, I think for any human I would say,

113
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 6: you know, this is bigger than football, you know, just

114
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 6: somebody believing in you in general. H You know that

115
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 6: that that was a big step and you know I

116
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 6: took it as you know, bigger than football. You know,

117
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 6: you know what I've been through. You know, he just

118
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 6: turned on the film. You know, they see what I

119
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 6: can do, and you know that's my approach to it.

120
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: Do you feel back to the weather here for a moment,

121
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: Not that this is the most important topic in the world,

122
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 3: but being down in Miami and you played high school

123
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 3: ball in Miami as well.

124
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 4: What's the difference so far?

125
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: Now we haven't hit the really big stuff yet, although

126
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 3: it's getting there. What do you think the difference is

127
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: so far between South Florida humidity and this.

128
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 6: I would say probably just a mindset. Is probably just

129
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 6: a mindset. I mean, I'm pretty sure you know, Houston

130
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 6: have a lot of different attractions, but you know South Florida,

131
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 6: you know you can just stop whatever you're doing is

132
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 6: just go to the beach or you know, you can

133
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 6: get distracted real quick down there. But I say, it's

134
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 6: just the mindset with when it comes.

135
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: To but I'm at the heat specifically, I don't know, man,

136
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: they're kind of the same to me, they're kind of

137
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: the same.

138
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 5: Like I said, it's been from Florida, been for Miami.

139
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, hell is hell wherever you are. Man,

140
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: when it's hot like this, that's what it feels like.

141
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: A breeze in Miami over here every now and there

142
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 3: and then every now and again.

143
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: Then Zel, For for people that haven't seen you play, market,

144
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: I've seen you play a lot over the years we've

145
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: been there seeing.

146
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: You live play.

147
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: What are the Texans getting a dense hel peram and

148
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 2: what can a fan look forward to in watching you play?

149
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 5: Well, the fans are going to get a very physical player.

150
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 5: I can't say that.

151
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 6: I mean just that's just the nature I've been then

152
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 6: and uh, you know, I know I have a history

153
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 6: of injury, is just because of you know, the way

154
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 6: I play.

155
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 5: But they're going to get a leader, you know.

156
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 6: I try to lead, you know, vocally, but more you know,

157
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 6: by an example than anything. They're going to get a

158
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,760

Speaker 3: You've been in the league for a while, Denzel, How

162
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 3: have you changed the way you take care of yourself?

163
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: Your body, nutrition and all of that has that evolved

164
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 3: over time?

165
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 7: Oh?

166
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

167
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 6: It was a blessed year. Nine for me, so I

168
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 6: was Yeah. I would say over the years, I had

169
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 6: to change up my diet. You know what I put

170
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 6: in my body, you know, the rest, the massages, stretching,

171
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 6: all that good stuff like that literally plays a role.

172
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 6: I went from two fifty to now down like two

173
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 6: twenty five to twenty whoa wow, you were playing at

174
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 6: two fifty.

175
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeahah.

176
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 6: When I first got in the league, I was two fifty.

177
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 6: Now I'm like good to twenty five?

178
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 4: Did you have to change that?

179
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: Not only because of injury, but because of the way

180
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: linebackers are playing these days?

181
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 6: Both of those play the role, I would say more so,

182
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 6: like with myself, I felt like a lot of injuries

183
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 6: that I did have, you know, like soft tissue injuries,

184
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 6: a little small things, and I know my weight.

185
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: Did play you know, roll in that Denzil.

186
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: I know when we've talked to players that have been seasoned,

187
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: they've been around a little bit. Sometimes when I ask

188
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: me this question, they kind of look at me and like,

189
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: you know, I got to do my thing. But do

190
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: you have any kind of poll or feel for being

191
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: kind of a mentor to guys?

192
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you got a lot of young dudes in

193
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: that linebacker room. I mean some guys. I mean obviously

194
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: got rookies in there. You've got dudes that have been

195
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: there for a couple of years.

196
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: I mean, there's not a lot of experience in that

197
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: linebacker room outside of you, Christian Kirksey, et cetera. I

198
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: don't want to say that you feel compelled to help

199
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: those guys, but do you feel there's some responsibility in

200
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: some sense to share your knowledge of the game with

201
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: those young guys so they can then pass it on

202
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: to the next guy after that You kind of look

203
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: at that and look at leadership that way.

204
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 5: Of course.

205
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 6: Of course, I can say with this style of defense,

206
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 6: the game that we're playing. Out of the nine years

207
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 6: I played seven in this game, Okay, So I think

208
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 6: it's just in my nature, you know, to want to

209
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 6: help out the younger guys like I know when I

210
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 6: was younger guys, you know, looking towards the older guys

211
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 6: know to help me out, and they did. So I

212
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 6: don't feel like, you know, I don't have that. I

213
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 6: got to do my thing, you not help the next

214
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 6: guy out.

215
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 5: At the end of the day.

216
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 6: You know, we're all here on the same team. We're

217
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 6: all you know, compete for the same thing with all

218
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 6: the families. So I feel like when I'm helping out

219
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 6: the next guy, I'm you know, kind of you know,

220
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 6: I'm reteaching myself also and you know, just refreshing my brain.

221
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 6: So you know, it's all just a learning curve. Like

222
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 6: I said, I've been in the system for a while

223
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 6: and I'm still you know, learning new things.

224
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: Also, Denzel, you went to Coral Gables High School? Yes,

225
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: Frank or he went there a long time ago. Yeah,

226
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: but do you how well do you know him?

227
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: He's from the U two. I mean, I know it's

228
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: big fraternity.

229
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: So he played forever in this league, which was so

230
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: impressive to me. How he was the last one from

231
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: that one team to make it as long as he.

232
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 5: Did, got just so funny story.

233
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 6: Frank Gore played with my older brother in the high school,

234
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 6: and I played with Frank girl's younger cousin growing up

235
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 6: football wise, so kind of grew up in the same neighborhood.

236
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 6: And I remember when I was coming out, you know,

237
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 6: for you know the pros, uh, you know, to come

238
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 6: by and train all that good stuff. Frank would also

239
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 6: train at University of Miami. And we will also compete,

240
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 6: you know in that uh you know, in that little

241
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 6: phase and you know, just playing against him was I

242
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 6: would say it was a star gaze of the moment

243
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 6: for me because I remember watching him in high school,

244
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 6: you know, playing with my older brother, you know, just

245
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 6: like now I'm playing against you, you know in the you know,

246
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 6: in the big time, in the big league. So man, yeah,

247
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 6: like you said, man, he played, he played a while

248
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 6: and uh just like his worth ethic and you know,

249
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 6: his his mindset, you know, attacking the game.

250
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,119
Speaker 5: It's one to follow the bands.

251
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 2: With you, all right, Benjiel I've been around Mark for

252
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: almost ten years now and he's not been able to

253
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: explain this to me. So maybe you can. I hear

254
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: this all the time, and we've heard this all the time.

255
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 2: It's a Canes thing. You wouldn't understand. Help me understand.

256
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: What is it about the you? What is it about

257
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: the University of Miami.

258
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 6: It's it's really it's really a Cane's thing, man, I know,

259
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 6: like I know it sounds so cliche, but it's really

260
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 6: like a cane thing. Like you have to you know,

261
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 6: be you know in those meeting rooms, you have to

262
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 6: be in the locker room.

263
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 5: You have to.

264
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 6: You know, he's not there anymore, but you had to

265
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 6: deal with coach sways. You had to go on Green

266
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 6: Tree like you know, it's really like a cane's thing.

267
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 6: And I would say, you know, for me when I

268
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 6: was there, you know, it was just you know, continue

269

00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: It was great.

304
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,200

306
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,160

Speaker 2: with these players, and one of those is Davis Mills.

308
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: We met with him.

309
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: Obviously for the last three years, the last couple of years,

310
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: in particular last year a tough one. He ended twenty

311
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: twenty one, we know very well twenty twenty two didn't

312
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: go the way that Davis probably wanted. There were some

313
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: throws I'm sure he probably wanted to have back and

314
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: you know, just got his feet wet all year long.

315
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: But the drafting of c J. Stroud, I think a

316
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: lot of people look at c J. Strott to think, Wow,

317
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: he's gonna be the starter. So what's the role of

318
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: Davis Mills. I mean, John McClain has talked about I'm

319
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: being traded.

320
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 1: I don't know.

321
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: I still think there's some good football and Davis Mills,

322
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: and I think this offense will.

323
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: Help him going forward. I still think there's something there

324
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: for sure.

325
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: And we talked about a lot of those things with

326
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: the man himself, Davis Mills.

327
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: Who's Mark, Me and Davis right now.

328
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: Davis Mills joining us in a hunday Texans radio studio.

329
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: Davis, thanks to lot for being with us. How's it going,

330
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 4: It's going great.

331
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me all.

332
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: Right, good to have you. So, how's the off season

333
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: going for you so far? It's a new system, you know,

334
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: here you are again, it's your third one, right as

335
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: a pro third one.

336
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 8: Now I feel like the off season that was flown

337
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 8: by faster and faster every year i've been in it.

338
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 8: Like you said, completely new system, new staff, new guys

339
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 8: in the room. It's been exciting getting to know everybody

340
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 8: picking up the new system. A lot of proven success

341
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 8: across the league running this scheme, so I'm excited. I've

342
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 8: already learned a lot and I'm looking forward to continue

343
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 8: making those next steps.

344
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: Dave's one of the things that Mark and I have

345
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: talked about. People think voluntary OTAs, you know, conditioning all

346
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: that stuff. It's voluntary two days and mini camp, et cetera.

347
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: But because there's so little time before the first preseason game,

348
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 2: we've started thinking that, Man, the's OT's are hugely important. Man,

349
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 2: getting all this stuff down, all the verbiage, all the

350
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 2: things that are different. There might be some elements that

351
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: are the same from previous offense you've been in. But

352
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: how important has that part been to try and get

353
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 2: all that language and verbiage down before you come back

354
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: for training camp Because you got hit it running ether

355
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: ten twelve days before we play New England? How important

356
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: have these weeks been in the otaste to get all

357
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: that down.

358
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 8: Oh, I mean extremely important. I think we've already installed

359
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 8: pretty much the whole offense. Obviously there's a couple of

360
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 8: situational situational things that haven't gone in yet, but we'll

361
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 8: go in towards training camp. But I mean if you

362
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 8: don't come and take full advantage of these voluntary camp

363
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 8: days and the whole offseason program, then I mean you're

364
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 8: pretty far behind going into training camp in those preseason games.

365
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 8: So we've been getting after it, putting in a lot

366
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 8: of time. Obviously there's the hour rule, but yeah, you

367
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 8: got to do a lot on your own to make

368
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 8: sure you're prepared and come in every day and put

369
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 8: your best foot forward.

370
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 3: And how important is it to help out the other

371
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: players too, because you've got to know a cold but

372
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: also delivering it to all the receivers and everything. We

373
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: talked to a couple of guys who said, sometimes you

374
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: give them a little extra help leaving the huddle what

375
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: they might ask for it.

376
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean that's kind of the onus of the

377
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 8: quarterback with your job. Make sure you know everybody's position

378
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 8: and what everybody's doing out on the field because one

379
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 8: little slip up, I mean, the blame always comes back

380
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 8: to the quarterbacks and to make sure everybody's on top

381
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 8: of it and doing their job. But I think kind

382
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 8: of having that perspective and taking on that responsibility makes

383
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 8: you learn it better yourself when you can kind of

384
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 8: get to the point where you can start teaching it

385
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 8: to the other guys around you. I wouldn't say I'm

386
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 8: fully there. I'm still obviously only say, ten weeks into

387
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 8: the system, but I'm getting there, and I'm really picking

388
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 8: it up, and I'm excited. It's nice having different guys

389
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 8: in the quarterback room who are learning the system for

390
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 8: the new the first time too, so we're all bouncing

391
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 8: ideas off each other and making sure we're all on

392
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 8: the same page moving forward.

393
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: And Davis, you got guys option into the spectrum.

394
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: You gotta guys were playing the NFL before, and you

395
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: got a guy that's played a lot in the NFL before.

396
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: What is each one of them? CJ. Stroud in case

397
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: Keenum meant to you? What have you meant to them?

398
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: The fact that you've been here they haven't, but they're

399
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: coming in fresh looking at different things. How's it kind

400
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: of been to have those two in the room with you?

401
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 7: It's been great.

402
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 8: Starting with Case, I think, I mean, he has a

403
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 8: different perspective than I do. I've started twenty something games now,

404
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 8: and I mean he's probably doubled that, if not more,

405
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 8: played in a ton of games, been in the league

406
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 8: for a long time, and he has a ton of

407
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 8: built up experience that I mean, he's seen a lot,

408
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 8: and it's nice being able to have somebody where you

409
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 8: can ask questions too. And I mean he's been in

410
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 8: the shoes, done what you're trying to do at a

411
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 8: really high level, So he has a good perspective on

412
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 8: a lot of things. He's been in a similar scheme

413
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 8: back with Koubiak and just different offenses around the league,

414
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 8: so he knows kind of what the teach the coaches

415
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 8: are trying to teach and how to interpret that in

416
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 8: our perspective. And then hej stepped in completely new offense

417
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 8: for him. I don't even think he's really called huddle

418
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 8: calls in college and in high school. So really seeing

419
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 8: him step in and take that responsibility, and I mean

420
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 8: he's sitting at full stride, very impressive. Seems like he's

421
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 8: been doing it for years now, but I mean he's

422
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 8: new to it, just like we are, and it's excited

423
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 8: seeing his growth and just seeing him getting better and

424
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 8: better each practice.

425
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 3: What about some of the weapons you have Singletary now

426
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 3: to work with Robert Woods, some of the other guys

427
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 3: who are new to the arsenal.

428
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean there's a lot. We have a lot

429
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 8: of new guys, and I'm excited to kind of see

430
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 8: how those guys come, come in the building and work

431
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 8: every day. I think the vibe and the feeling around

432
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 8: the locker room that we have a lot of great

433
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 8: new players ready to kind of add add their own

434
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 8: flavor to the offense, guys like Motor, Robert Noah Dalton.

435
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 8: I mean, there's a ton of guys who bring a

436
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 8: lot of different traits and to attack defenses, and we're

437
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 8: excited to see what we can do once we get

438
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 8: out on the field.

439
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 2: Davis dimiko as hey coach who tucked a few of

440
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: the guys, brought up the fact that he played before.

441
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: He's been sitting literally in those shoes, wearing a Texans logo,

442
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: being in his building. But what have you seen from

443
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: Demico and what do you think he has meant to

444
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: this organization thus far since joining in January?

445
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 7: It's been great.

446
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 8: I mean, have somebody who's walking in and has as

447
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 8: much juice as him, and team meetings and out on

448
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 8: the field, you just get a ton of respect for it.

449
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 8: And knowing that he's been in your shoes, he's experienced

450
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 8: some of the heat during training camp practices that we're

451
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 8: going to have to go through. Boy, gives you a

452
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 8: lot of respect. But also, I mean it makes it exciting.

453
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 8: It's kind of a new wave of energy in the

454
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 8: building around here, and I mean we're all excited to

455
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 8: get get rolling once we get to the season.

456
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 3: Davis Mills with us, what about this defense? What are

457
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 3: you seeing from them? What could you tell the listeners

458
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: about what we might expect from this Demiko Ryans, Matt Burke.

459
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 8: I mean, I think it all starts up front with

460
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 8: the defensive line. They're firing off the football. Can only

461
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 8: have so much contact in these uh offseason practices, but

462
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 8: I mean, I think they're taking it right up to

463
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 8: that edge, and you can feel the energy they have

464
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 8: on that side of the ball, flying flying around and

465
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 8: having fun making plays.

466
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 7: It's exciting.

467
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been fun to watch you guys compete against

468
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 2: one other in practice as you're going into your third year, Dause.

469
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: I know it's not to training camp or not your

470
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: third season, but do you feel and I would imagine

471
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: probably tougher because you are learning something new, But do

472
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: you feel the game slowing down for you at all?

473
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: Like you're seeing things you know, they say that you know,

474
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: oh quarterbacks, of the game slows down for them. Do

475
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: you kind of sense that as you're going through OTA's

476
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: in these practices.

477
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 8: Definitely, I think kind of just even having the feeling

478
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 8: of you've been there before. You it's not your first

479
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 8: time walking in the building your rookie year, where it's

480
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 8: you feel like you're being watched the whole entire time. Obviously,

481
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm keeping a chip on my shoulder playing

482
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 8: with that same mindset where I mean every snap, every

483
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 8: single tiny drill I'm doing, and individuals throughout practice, I

484
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 8: feel like I have all eyes on me. There's any

485
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 8: type of slip up at all, you never know when

486
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 8: it could be your last snap. So I'm trying to

487
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 8: take a full full advantage of every opportunity I have

488
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 8: and continue kind of with that pressure in the mindset

489
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 8: of taking advantage of everything and getting better at every

490
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 8: every rep.

491
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: All Right, so you got engaged.

492
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 3: How involved are you in the planning process here for

493
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 3: the wedding, Davis?

494
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 4: Have you stepped aside? Are you being recruited to join in?

495
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 4: How's that?

496
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 8: I would like to say, I'm in control of most

497
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 8: things in my life, but the wedding planning is something

498
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 8: I've kind of passed off to my fiance.

499
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 9: I trust entirely.

500
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 8: That she's gonna make the right decisions.

501
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: And that's a first down throw. That's exactly first connection

502
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: right there.

503
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: I mean that that would it would have if you

504
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: would have said, yeah, you know, I'm in charge of this,

505
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 2: we would have thought that, you know what.

506
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 8: Maybe we haven't done the tastings yet, so maybe I'll

507
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 8: have a little more call whatever she's what the menu

508
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 8: items are going to be. But yeah, ultimately it's it's all, Uh,

509
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 8: she's in control.

510
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 4: Yep, whatever she wants, it's fine.

511
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: Just don't shave your head before the wedding. It's almost

512
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: if you don't do that, then you're okay. There's somebody

513
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 2: that's room that did that and got in trouble.

514
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: That would have been you because I didn't do it.

515
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: There we go how much golf this offseason? Getting a

516
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: little bit in. I know you have OTAs interfering with that,

517
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 3: but what else?

518
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 8: Played a lot immediately after the season February and March,

519
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 8: and then flew back to Houston. Kind of My main

520
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 8: focus has been learning, learning this offense, picking up the playbook.

521
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 8: So I haven't had a ton of time to play.

522
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 3: So if you and Fairbarn go out, is he giving

523
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 3: you strokes? Or are you just saying we're going straight

524
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: up here?

525
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 8: My confidence tells me that I would like to play

526
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 8: him straight up, but he'll end up beat me nine

527
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 8: times out of ten.

528
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 4: Who else is good on the team that we don't

529
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 4: know about?

530
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 8: It's been fun getting out there with k Case is

531
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 8: good and you always hear that quarterbacks in the NFL

532
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 8: are really good golfers, and he's one of those guys

533
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 8: who has a pretty good golf game.

534
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: Punters can be good too. But I don't think Cam plays,

535
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: does he Cam?

536
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 10: No?

537
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 8: I don't think Cam plays weeks weeks plays a lot.

538
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 8: Got out with him this past weekend. He's a good player,

539
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 8: fairly inconsistent, but he's going to put together a string

540
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 8: of good holes and take some money.

541
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 4: Probably hits it a mile.

542
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 2: What offensive lineman would be the best golfer. That's the

543
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: biggest question. Which offensive lineman would be the best golfer.

544
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 8: I think if you went and asked them, Titus would

545
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 8: tell you he's the best, without probably going out there

546
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 8: and proving it.

547
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 4: But he's a quarterback.

548
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 8: You if you gave him, I know, quarterback.

549
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 7: In the past.

550
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 8: But I think it's probably a toss up between Jimmy

551
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 8: and Scott.

552
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 4: Okay, makes sense. I think if Laramie put his mind

553
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 4: to it. Yeah, you never know.

554
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 3: Golf Davids, thanks a lot for joining us. Good luck

555
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 3: to you, Thank you, thank you.

556
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: Yes, it was very sweet, David.

557
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: Appreciate you stopping by hanging out with Mark and myself.

558
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna go in the way back machine.

559
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: We're gonna go a little where are they now with

560
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: former Texans tight end, former Ency State star Anthony Hill.

561
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: That's next with Drew Doerty.

562
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: Right here on Texans All Access, we go one final

563
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: segment this Monday edition of Texans All Access.

564
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, Football and all the sideline reporter.

565
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: And fortunately I wasn't here back when Antony Hill was

566
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 2: drafted to be a Houston Texan and he didn't have

567
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: the greatest careerest. Injuries really set him back, but he

568
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: made a name for himself after his NFL career ended.

569
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: Here's a little where are they Now.

570
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 2: With Drew Doherty given the background on Anthony Hill in

571
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: case you forgot, he.

572
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 11: Was a two thousand and nine draft pick out of

573
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 11: NC State, but he's a Houstonian well by way of

574
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 11: Clearbrook High School, so he grew up in the area,

575
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 11: went away to college in North Carolina, and then was

576
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 11: drafted back in two thousand and nine by Gary Kubiak

577
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 11: and Rick Smith, the general manager of the Texans. He

578
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 11: joined a tight ends group that included really the two

579
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 11: best in franchise history. You know when Daniels and Joel

580
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 11: Dreesen and he immediately was on a winner. Nine to

581
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 11: seven were those Texans his rookie year, and he has

582
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 11: turned his post football career into a big time success.

583
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 11: Like many of the guys that we've talked to on

584
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 11: this podcast, he's doing well in his retirement and really

585
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 11: he's not retired. He just retired from the game of football.

586
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 11: He's not retired at all from the work world. But

587
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 11: without further ado, please enjoy this brief conversation with Anthony Hill.

588
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 9: Where are any of these days with Bronny? What's wrong?

589
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 7: Man? Hey? First off, thanks for having me on.

590
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 10: Definitely has been a been an awesome time right now.

591
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 10: I'm currently I actually own a construction company here today.

592
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 10: Got into construction soon as I finished playing back in

593
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 10: twenty twelve is twenty thirteen. Got into construction, buying homes,

594
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 10: flipping homes, buying apartment complexes, got into concrete with my

595
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 10: dad and that kind of took off, and have been

596
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 10: a part of some pretty decent sized projects throughout the city.

597
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 11: Mister modesty here, I've been around you a time or

598
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 11: two because we go out and we do events and

599
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 11: we speak at various groups and whatnot. You have been

600
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 11: involved in some pretty major projects.

601
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 9: You're not just.

602
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 11: Flipping houses, which is a big deal in and of itself.

603
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 11: You're doing a lot more than that, Anthony.

604
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, Yes, sir.

605
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 10: You know I was giving a few chances by the

606
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 10: the you know, definitely, the connections through the Texans has

607
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 10: definitely helped me out throughout the city. And I see

608
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 10: the Tellipson family had a friend, Trent Tellips, and he

609
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 10: gave me a chance on the project over at Memorial

610
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 10: Park where they put the two tunnels in those really

611
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 10: large tunnels, and so that was one of our larger

612
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 10: projects Port of Houston.

613
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 7: We were at United Airlines.

614
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 10: For about about five six years, and so yeah, that

615
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 10: those are kind of our staples. That kind of was

616
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 10: able to help us grow significantly in the concrete slash

617
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 10: construction world.

618
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: This is where are they now? With your dority and

619
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: former Texan Anthony Hill.

620
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 11: Yeah, I knew about the United Airlines one because I

621
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 11: think the last time you and I were at a

622
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 11: specific event, you know, speaking and doing a Q and A,

623
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 11: that's what you were kind of immersed in. But I

624
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 11: did not know about the Memorial Park one. I'm a

625
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 11: former runner. I don't run as much anymore, but I

626
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 11: used to run around that loop a lot in the

627
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 11: late nine mid nineties, late nineties. Every time I come back,

628
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 11: that's just an entirely transformed area. You guys are a

629
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 11: big part of that. How exciting was that to see

630
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 11: that just go from start to finish And it's not

631
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 11: really finished ever, is it.

632
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 6: No?

633
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 10: I don't think it'll be finished for some time. I

634
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 10: mean technically it's finished, but I think it'll continue to grow. Yeah,

635
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 10: over the years, that was awesome. That was a project

636
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 10: that I got with me and my dad and then

637
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 10: actually about just about as we were completing, my dad

638
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 10: he actually end up passing away. So me finishing that

639
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 10: project was a It was a huge accomplishment for me

640
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 10: just to say, Okay, hey, look I finised a project.

641
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 7: I know, I really made him proud.

642
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 10: And just to just to see the project start as

643
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 10: trees and woods and and you know, those guys are like,

644
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 10: you know, hey, look we are We're tired of people

645
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 10: getting smacked by cars from crossing the streets and different

646
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 10: things like that. So we're going to have this huge

647
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 10: tunnel and land bridges. And I didn't know that it

648
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 10: would turn out so nice, but it's definitely a piece

649
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 10: of work over there. So it was it was a

650
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 10: huge blessing to be able to be a part of

651
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 10: that one.

652
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 11: It's where they now with Anthony Hill, and I mainly

653
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 11: stayed on the trail so I didn't I didn't run

654
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 11: the risk too often getting smacked by car. Way back

655
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 11: in high school, every once in a while we'd veer

656
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 11: off and go to basically Sabine Bridge from Amoral Park

657
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 11: and turn around. Okay, so you're from this area, Clearbrook,

658
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 11: you know, down sort of south in between Houston and Galveston.

659
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 11: You grew up, You go to the NC State, you

660
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 11: play there for a rounder in two thousand and nine.

661
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 11: What was it like when you find out you get

662
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 11: the call from the hometown team.

663
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 7: Oh? Man, it was crazy. I couldn't believe it.

664
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 10: I actually, quote unquote I got sick during the draft,

665
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 10: and so you know, I had this huge fishing trip

666
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 10: plan before the draft because I was like, you know,

667
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 10: I don't want to be around people.

668
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 7: I'm going to go fishing, I'm gonna do all these

669
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 7: other things.

670
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 10: I'm going to go out to Galveston Bay and just

671
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 10: kind of go catch some red fish and get away

672
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 10: and I'll just have my phone handy.

673
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 7: You know. Whatever. That didn't happen, that didn't go as planned.

674
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 10: I think it was it could have been anxiety, but

675
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 10: I don't but I don't want to say it. But yeah,

676
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 10: I was in a hotel room sick, and then I

677
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 10: got the phone call from a Houston and I'm like,

678
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 10: who you know? You know, who is this call? And

679
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 10: it was coach Kobiak. He was giving me a call.

680
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 10: He said, Hey, man, I want you to come and

681
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:52,040

682
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,080

683
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 10: Yeah boo, yeah, we have Texans fans. And so my

Speaker 10: aunt and my dad actually they were they were hidden,

685
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 10: hidden hands and they were in church actually, and so

686
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 10: and so they were in church and they came back

687
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 10: and they were like, you know, they've made a huge

688
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 10: announcement over church, and you know, they all celebrated as

689
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 10: the Cowboy fans were like, God, dank it, you know,

690
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 10: you know, they were all pissed off. So but it

691
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 10: was it was amazing, man, it was. It was amazing

692
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 10: to come back home. I had been gone for six

693
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 10: years going to to n C State and.

694
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 9: So it was just hard grave before that the military counter.

695
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, definitely definitely went to the military and so just

696
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 10: just a lot of structure and so was really away

697
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 10: from home for yeah, five six years, and then to

698
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 10: just be able to come back and be with my

699
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 10: mother and sisters and really my whole family.

700
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 7: So it was just it was great.

701
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, you come to a team with Owen Daniels at

702
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 11: tight End old Reason, really good tight end as well.

703
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 11: You come in the mix there too. What was that

704
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 11: like you get to rookie minicamp. It's not like rookie

705
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 11: minute camp O ta is kind of geting your feet wet.

706
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 10: As a professional, it was you know, honestly, it was

707
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 10: intimidating to start. I mean, od I I definitely had

708
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 10: already known about him. Joel Drewson was a super solid player.

709
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 7: Came in. Me and James Casey we get we get

710
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 7: drafted in the same draft.

711
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 10: So some really good guys, and so, you know, I mean,

712
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 10: I was just kind of like very much so humbled

713
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 10: to go from being the man at n C State

714
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 10: to kind of being the last man on the totem pole,

715
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 10: really trying to fight for a spot to actually play

716
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 10: on Sundays. So it was just a very humbling experience.

717
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 10: And I want to say, to start, I want to say,

718
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 10: we had like seven or eight guys, you know, like

719
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 10: seven or eight tight ends, and so.

720
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 7: It was like it was just like tank, you know.

721
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 10: I mean, we went from having two and three to

722
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 10: having you know, five and six, then we had seven

723
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 10: and eight, and it was it was a ton of

724
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 10: guys in the room.

725
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, and you would you joined the team that had

726
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 11: been gone eight to eight the previous two seasons. You

727
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 11: get there, and you're in that that class with Cushing,

728
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 11: the first rounder, Barwin had a nice rookie season, Glover

729
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 11: Quinn would go on to do fantastic things. You're in there,

730
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 11: Bryce McKain. I mean, everybody kind of contributed. And then

731
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 11: he had two rookie free agents in Arian and Tim Jamison.

732
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 11: I mean everybody on that not roster, but on that

733
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 11: rookie roster really wound up doing something at some point

734
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 11: or another, didn't they.

735
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, definitely, And you know, I actually still communicate with

736
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 10: a lot of those guys. Actually text Cushion like a

737
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 10: couple of weeks ago, ask him about.

738
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 7: His kids and little league football. Shoot.

739
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 10: I did an event with Tim Jamison last week, a

740
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 10: taste testing where we ate way.

741
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 7: Too much dessert.

742
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 9: There you go.

743
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 10: So James Casey is coaching now, so he's always busy.

744
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 10: So like we'll shoot each other text messages here and there.

745
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 10: But a lot of those guys, we definitely still keep

746
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 10: in contact. I see Cushing all the time. I think

747
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 10: it was a close knit group. I think those those

748
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 10: are bonds that will have from probably from here on.

749
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 9: What was that rookie season? Like it was a weird year.

750
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 11: You start out at home and you get Mark Sanchez

751
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 11: in his first start against the Jets, and then everyone's thinking, oh,

752
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 11: you got this, Texans will win this, and they blow

753
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 11: the Texans doors off. But then you go to Tennessee

754
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 11: and you literally all get in a fist fight with

755
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 11: the Titans on the bench. But it's a fist fight

756
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 11: of a game, just going back and forth. But Houston

757
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 11: comes out victoria. It was a great game, one of

758
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 11: the best games I've ever seen. And yeah, it was

759
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 11: that whole year.

760
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 7: Like for you, it was a roller coaster. I remember it.

761
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 10: I definitely remember it, just you know, just trying to

762
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 10: fight just to get on the field and just kind

763
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 10: of seeing, you know, the ups and downs of you know, preseason,

764
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 10: we're like, oh man, we're going to be pretty good.

765
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 10: And then, like you say, we came in, we took

766
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 10: a we took a hard l burst the Jets, and

767
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 10: then we kind of had our ups and downs where

768
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 10: we showed like just hey look we're really really good,

769
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 10: and then we kind of we slunk it up a

770
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 10: few times. I was able to learn that the NFL

771
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 10: wasn't promised that hey, look anybody can win it, you know,

772
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 10: any given Sunday just kind of learning. I think Ode

773
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 10: ended up getting injured or something like that that season,

774
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 10: and I ended up getting some more playing time than

775
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 10: I got injured, and so it was, you know, it

776
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 10: was just a just a roller coaster. So I was

777
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 10: able to kind of learn, like, Okay, this is what

778
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 10: the NFL is with you know what all these guys

779
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 10: I've been talking.

780
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 11: About five and three at the buy and then you

781
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 11: come out of the buy, you lose four straight.

782
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 9: You're you guys are five and seven?

783
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, and then you end with four straight wins and

784
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 11: in the process, Arian Foster kind of comes out of

785
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 11: the woodwork. Now it wasn't he didn't just get the job,

786
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 11: and he wasn't the anointed the guy for the next season,

787
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 11: but you saw some things down the stretcher. You also

788
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 11: beat the Patriots to end the season, and for a

789
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 11: few hours there was like Texans might be getting in

790
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 11: the playoffs depending on what happens.

791
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,479
Speaker 9: It didn't. Yeah, that was finished, wasn't it?

792
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 7: That really was.

793
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 10: It was awesome to see Foster kind of come out

794
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 10: of nowhere. He was always a really humble guy and

795
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 10: I actually played with him in the All Star Game

796
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 10: and he tore his hamstring on the first play, I

797
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 10: think it was Pat maybe Pat White fumbled the ball

798
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 10: and he went to pick it up and just kind

799
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 10: of a freaky he just he just snapped his hamstring

800
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 10: or something like that. So I was, you know, I

801
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 10: didn't you know, I didn't think to see him again

802
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 10: or anything like that. And then next thing you know,

803
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 10: we were on the team again together. It's like, okay,

804
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 10: well that was the guy that snapped his hamspring and

805
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 10: then he for him to bounce back and just come

806
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 10: out of nowhere.

807
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 7: I thought that was awesome.

808
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 2: It's where they now with former Texan and Clearbrook High

809
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: School lom Anthony.

810
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 1: Hill with Drew Dody.

811
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 11: So you come to that team, Andre Johnson is on

812
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 11: the offense with you, and I know you think Andre

813
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 11: Johnson belongs in the Hall of Fame.

814
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 9: I do too.

815
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 11: Most people listening to this also do. But explain to

816
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 11: the morons out there that don't think Andre Johnson belongs

817
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 11: to why does he belong in the Hall of Fame?

818
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 7: Oh? Man, I think he. I definitely think he does.

819
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 10: I mean he kind of carried a team whenever, you know,

820
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 10: I mean, we were we were struggling, he'd always come

821
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 10: through with that great catch with that Turkus catch that

822
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 10: you never thought that anybody would be able to come

823
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 10: through with. You have three guys on him, still still

824
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 10: come catch the ball. I think I think he did

825
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 10: a great job. He definitely deserves to be there. I

826
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 10: do think that he'll end up there, just don't know

827
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 10: when or what the heck is taking so long for

828
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 10: him to get in there.

829
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 7: So everybody's rooting for him. At least all the players

830
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 7: are rooting for him. I know that much.

831
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 9: You're you're so diplomatic, and you didn't call.

832
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 7: Hey, look I might I might need those guys.

833
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 11: So he was one leader on that team, another guy

834
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 11: leadership wise who was massive.

835
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 9: Damiko Ryans.

836
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, how excited were you to see when he got

837
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 11: hired here?

838
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 7: As the head was definitely excited to see. It's so excited.

839
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 10: He was actually a guy that I really looked up

840
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 10: to when I played. I would almost say he was

841
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 10: the leader of the team when he was there, you know,

842
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 10: the leader of the offense and the defense almost to

843
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 10: see just the way he would work and the way

844
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 10: he put it together, the way he was consistent. From

845
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 10: the first day I met him till we were to

846
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 10: practice what was that Tuesday.

847
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, he was.

848
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 7: He was the same guy.

849
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 10: So to see that even just going to church and look,

850
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 10: I'm going to church early on Sunday and then going

851
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 10: to the game, or I'm doing this, I'm doing that,

852
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 10: you know, just he was so strategic and just so

853
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 10: consistent that I really did appreciate the friendship that we

854
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 10: actually had. And so to see him come back and

855
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 10: to see him still be the same guy, still that

856
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 10: big old smile, but still you can tell that he's

857
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 10: about to get after someone's ass. And so yeah, definitely

858
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 10: definitely want to just try and you know, I mean

859
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 10: us as former players, we just want to support him

860
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 10: as much as possible. It seems like he supports the

861
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 10: guys that are played, and he's i mean, he's still

862
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 10: the same guy. So definitely, I think everyone's excited about that,

863
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 10: ready for the season to actually get here, you know,

864
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 10: I mean, now we basketball is almost over with all

865
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 10: sort stuff. You know, we're we're really eager, you know, like, hell, man,

866
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 10: come on, let's get the same.

867
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 11: Well, I know he said publicly right after that that

868
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 11: day that you all were out there. It was you

869
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 11: and probably twenty five thirty other guys used to play here,

870
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 11: some with most with him, some before, some after it.

871
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 9: He really appreciated it.

872
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 11: He said that publicly, and then I was at an

873
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 11: event with him yesterday and he reiterated that meant a

874
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 11: lot to him. What did you see, not just with Demiko,

875
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 11: but looking at practice, What did you see that kind

876
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 11: of stood out to you earlier this week about these

877
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 11: twenty twenty three texts here in June. I know you

878
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 11: got to put that asterisk by things because there's no paths,

879
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 11: there's no hitting.

880
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 9: But what stood out to you so far?

881
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 10: It just seems like there's a chip. There's a chip

882
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 10: on the guy's shoulder. It looks like they have something

883
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 10: to prove. I know, everyone's coming off of a season

884
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 10: where we're kind of saying I could just win a

885
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 10: couple more games. We just kind of there's not huge expectations,

886
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 10: and he that's not this, that's not that. But I

887
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 10: don't think that's what Demiko is going for. I don't

888
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 10: think he's going for, Well, if we win two or

889
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 10: three more games and we won.

890
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 7: Last year, then that's a successful season. I think he's

891
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 7: in hell. No, I want to win. I want to win.

892
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 10: Now, you guys are going to have to play with

893
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 10: the same focus that he played with. And you know,

894
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 10: I mean he's coming from the forty nine ers. They

895
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 10: had a winning season. They were actually very successful while

896
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 10: he was there. So I think he has seen what

897
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 10: needs to be done and you know, you know the

898
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 10: type of guys that you need to be on that team.

899
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 7: And so it seems like everyone is clicking.

900
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 10: Everyone's trying their damns to make the team be you know,

901
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 10: be on the field on Sundays. And so even the

902
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 10: alumni guys are eager about this season, where let's just

903
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 10: say last season they weren't as eager. Guys are like, man,

904
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 10: I'm ready for the season to actually really get going.

905
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 10: So I think that looking at the players, I think,

906
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 10: you know, I really do think that those guys are

907
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 10: they're really playing aggressively.

908
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 7: And I mean just kind of got a chip on

909
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 7: the shoulders.

910
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: That's Anthony Hill, former Texan and Clearbrook High School alum,

911
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: with Drew Doherty unaware of they now.

912
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 11: Can you tell much at this point early June about

913
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 11: the tight ends. Were you watching much of Dalton Schultz

914
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 11: and teak In Cotriano and Brevin Jordan some of those guys.

915
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 11: Can you tell a whole heck of a lotters is

916
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 11: still a little too early to get a gauge.

917
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 10: I mean, it's earlier to see those guys here, I guess,

918
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 10: And I mean we know that that guy was.

919
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 7: I mean, he's a he's a damn good player. You know.

920
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 7: I believe he was at the Cowboys.

921
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 10: Right yep, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he's I mean,

922
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 10: we already know that he's a damn good player. So

923
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 10: it looks like a really solid group. I know, he

924
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 10: looks really good. When I heard he was here on

925
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 10: like a one year deal, I was like, I was

926
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 10: like okay. I was like, well, hopefully he comes and

927
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 10: proves itself and he's here for a lot longer, you know. Yeah, yeah,

928
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 10: we'll see.

929
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 11: I had a fun conversation with him too. He's he's

930
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 11: a little different. He was pretty fun. I don't know

931
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 11: if you've got a chance to catch up with him
