00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: Chris Strasser, offensive line coach, will be on the show

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. That's gonna be fun too, Johnny. As we

11
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: get back for a Memorial Day weekend. Everybody feeling it today.

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Hey it's Monday. No, it's really Tuesday, and it's a

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: short week, and let's go.

14
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: I'm glad you said Tuesday. I'm listen. I'm totally confused

15
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: right now because we had a.

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 4: Three day weekend and my family's been here, but then

17
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 4: my wife food of North Carolina and my daughter went

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 4: back to LA and so I don't even know what

19
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 4: day it is.

20
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: I don't even know what time it is.

21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 4: I got up on Memorial Bed take more off the

22
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 4: airport four o'clock in the morning. And today I got

23
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 4: up at two thirty in the morning, take me my

24
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 4: daughter to the airport. That's problem, and it's uh yeah,

25
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 4: so so I'm confused, like what day it is, what

26
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 4: year it is.

27
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: I know I'm in Houston. That's pretty much what I know.

28
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: But you deal with it, well, you do it because

29
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: we got OTAs Memorial Day. I wake up and I'm

30
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: always when there's a Monday off, I'm always thinking I'm

31
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: missing something, something is very very wrong here. And I

32
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: know we have a show on Monday night, so we

33
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: always have to get ready for that in some way,

34
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: shape or form. But you don't have the full regular

35
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: work day. You know, we're always doing something, but you

36
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean, it just feels like something's off.

37
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: And honestly, I think there are a lot of people

38
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,639
Speaker 1: like this. I don't need the three days. Two days

39
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: offul week is fine for me. In the off season,

40
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: three days starts to feel a little long, like I

41
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: need to get back. I want to get back to

42
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: the stadium, get back into the flow.

43
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: And do my thing.

44
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: And I love doing what we do here and I

45
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: can't wait for the season. And that's only one day

46
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: off every two three weeks, whatever it is. But I

47
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: don't care about days off. I like doing this, although

48
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: I do like seeing the vander kids on occasion.

49
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: The worst bye week Sunday.

50
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: Bye week Sunday is oh when you feel like you

51
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: should be somewhere. But it's also the best because you

52
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: get to watch the league play and sort of soak

53
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: it in, and then you get back into the flow

54
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: and you just get that view of the landscape, that

55
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 1: perspective of hey, we're in this thing.

56
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: Well, I'd love to be in this thing, but you

57
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: know what I.

58
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: Mean, in this league and you want to be in

59
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: the race very late in the season.

60
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: We'll see what that takes.

61
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: We'll see what that takes, all right, Some things happen

62
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: over the week, and then I think sort of relate

63
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: to NFL issues and the Texans storylines, if you will.

64
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 3: But how about the.

65
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: Celtics totally blowing it, Oh my god, getting everybody excited

66
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: to finally see a team.

67
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 3: Now.

68
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people hate the Celtics, and

69
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: this is a team that beat the Rockets twice in

70
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals in the eighties.

71
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: How many people remember that?

72
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: I do?

73
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: Anyway, I think a lot of people wanted to see

74
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: a team come back from three, though, just to see

75
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: it done, just to see that sixteen versus a one

76
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: never happened kind of thing occur, and it didn't happen,

77
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: And it reminded me of a few things in pro

78
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 1: football that we may or may not get into during

79
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: the show today. But I thought that was a real

80
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: landmark moment about to happen that did not happen.

81
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was I would say frustrating. But I kind

82
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: of want to see Boston in the finals. Not that

83
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 4: I didn't want to see Jimmy Butler. In Jimmy Butler,

84
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: it's not really he don't want to see the finals,

85
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 4: but seeing Jimmy Butler a guy playing at that particular level,

86
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: and we all know it's not a one person sport,

87
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: but my god, he has been incredibly good, unbelievable.

88
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: In every way, shape or form.

89
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: I will say this Saturday Night Game six, that's one

90
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: of the best. I'm not talking about just the tip

91
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: in by Derek White. I'm talking about the full The

92
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: full fourth quarter was one of the best fifteen minutes

93
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: of basketball I've seen.

94
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: It was so good in a long long time, and

95
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: that's why Games said a long time. Game seven is

96
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: such a letdown. How do you feel about Denver winning

97
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: the championship? Because I don't know if the Heat can

98
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: do this. Never has been sitting a long time, But man,

99
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: are they good and they swept the Lakers and all that.

100
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: One little news note and I texted this to you.

101
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: That came out and it makes sense. Yet it really

102
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: took some time to ponder this. Pat Riley has appeared

103
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: in almost twenty five percent of all NBA finals. Twenty

104
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: five percent of all finals. That's crazy of all finals period.

105
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: That's Belichick like.

106
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 3: It really is.

107
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl wise, Well, it shows you because he's been

108
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: a coach and or an executive with the Heat. And

109
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: we know what they've done with the Lebron era, with

110
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: the six title, with Dwayne Wade wearing body armor and

111
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 1: that whole title beat in Dallas, and obviously the bubble

112
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: appearance in the finals. Now this appearance in the finals,

113
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: everything he did with the Lakers.

114
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: We get it.

115
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: It's been a long time as a player as well,

116
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: so that is interesting to me. Is the Heat the

117
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: most untalked about good franchise and sports?

118
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: I mean, they're really good.

119
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: I like the way they transitioned out the Lebron d

120
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: Wade era and it hasn't all been Roses, right, But

121
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: there are in their second finals since that era, and

122
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna win this one or not.

123
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: I predict them to not win it.

124
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: But I think that's interesting and it kind of reminds

125
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: me of saying, is there an NFL equivalent. It's not

126
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: like they're the Buffalo Bills because they've won the thing.

127
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: They've won the thing three times. That's pretty darn good.

128
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: They're somebody, though they lose super Bowls as well. It

129
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: is patriot like in away what they've done. But aren't

130
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: the Spurs supposed to be the Patriots of the NBA.

131
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't have a clear analogy here, is it Kansas City? Like, Look,

132
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City lost a Super Bowl. It's possible.

133
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

134
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: I don't have a clear analogy of what they are

135
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

136
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 4: From two thousand and six to twenty twenty three, they

137
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 4: won seven four, five, six sevens yep seven finals seven

138
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 4: times in the finals is ridiculous. Yes, in that same timeframe,

139
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: that same timeframe, So from two thousand and six Spurs

140
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 4: one two two, Yeah, Warriors one, two, three, four, well.

141
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: The one six. Yeah, they've got more than the Warriors

142
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: in that time.

143
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: Finals appearances, finals appearances yeahah, three rings, they have three rings.

144
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: They got two with the Lebron Kids and they got

145
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: one with d Wade to know sex the Lebron Kid. Yeah.

146
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: It turned them into a boy.

147
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Because remember how they were introduced after the first talent's

148
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: there was kind of like a boy band thing. Yeah,

149
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: big arena with smoke and the three of them on

150
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: stage singing on capella.

151
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 2: No, they didn't sing the yeah talked. So there's that.

152
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: Who's the NFL equivalent here? You gotta lose super Bowls

153
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: and you there super Bowls?

154
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

155
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: The Steelers interesting.

156
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 4: Because the Steelers have gotten there. They got there one

157
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 4: at No. Eight, got there in twenty ten, won it.

158
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: They've always been kind of flirting with it. There's probably

159
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 4: a period from ninety five to eight and think how

160
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 4: many times, but that was only three times ninety five,

161
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: then two thousand and five and then two thousand and eight,

162
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: three times.

163
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it's man.

164
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: Degree of difficulty harder to get to an NBA Finals

165
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: or a super Bowl, just to get to it, to

166
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: arrive on that stage.

167
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: I feel like.

168
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: It's NBA Finals just because it's that many more games.

169
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 4: Not to say that it's difficult because football obviously is

170
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 4: you can only play one game.

171
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: But if you get to buy in football, you have

172
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: to win two games you're in, yeah, exactly at home

173
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: and if you're facing the team quarterback is banged up

174
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: or whatever, you win at one game away, you go.

175
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: Yet it seems incredibly difficult. And maybe I don't want

176
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: to say more, but look at the Super Bowl appearances

177
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: of teams. There aren't that many teams that get to

178
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: go to this thing. But you could say the same

179
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: thing about the NBA. Nobody ever talks about the Heat.

180
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: Though nobody talks about the Heat, they will.

181
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: Now this is a fascinating one. Is it goes back

182
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 3: to heat mark.

183
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: And I want to say I saw this, but I

184
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 4: really kind of put the numbers together till just now,

185
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: since two thousand and six that Miami Heat Championship, Dwayne

186
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: Wade getting his first ring the Heat or Lebron in

187
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: the finals in certain cases both six.

188
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: Six seven.

189
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 4: I mean, if you I'll get this one six seven,

190
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 4: twenty eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen twenty

191
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 4: they were both in and then the Heater in in

192
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 4: twenty three.

193
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: The Heat or Lebron.

194
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: The Heat or Lebron.

195
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: Now, if you wanted to go one one more, Kurry,

196
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 4: I mean Lakers, Warriors, Heat, Lebron. You're covered on almost

197
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 4: every finals, so it is every finals there. The only

198
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: one that's not is to one. It's the Suns and Bucks.

199
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: Everything else is.

200
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: Wow. I mean.

201
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 4: What I say, Warriors, Heat, Warriors, Spurs, Lebron.

202
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: Wow. There's your finals, there's your finals.

203
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: How about this nineteen eighties? I like bringing this up

204
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: every once in a while. Out of the Western Conference.

205
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: The Lakers went to all of them but two, and

206
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: the two that they didn't go to were occupied by

207
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: the Houston Rockets.

208
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 3: They lost both six.

209
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they lost both of them to the Celtics. But

210
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: it's a pretty cool note there for the Houston Rockets.

211
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: By the way, since we're just batting the ball around here.

212
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: Early another weekend thing, I saw the Houston Dynamo at

213
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: their place for the first time ever. I am embarrassed

214
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: to say it took me that long to get to

215
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: a game. I saw them at Robertson Stadium back in

216
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: the day, but I hadn't been to the New Digs

217
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: yet and they're not that new anymore. But it's a

218
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: great experience. It was a lot lot of fun and

219
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: I love it. But to me, Johnny, I think it'll

220
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: occupy a good piece of brain space in this country.

221
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking MLS, I'm just talking soccer

222
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: in general. With the popularity of the Premier League and

223
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: World Cup coming here, which is.

224
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: Going to be awesome.

225
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: It will be insanely popular while it's here and fun

226
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: and the work up to it, the anticipation will be great.

227
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: It's another reminder of how dominant the NFL is, how

228
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: utterly unstoppable. This league appears to be the love of

229
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: the fans for the game, and it's love, hate, passion,

230
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: whatever however you feel about your team and what you

231
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: want them to do. All over the country. There's just

232
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: nothing like it. There's just nothing like it. I'm always

233
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: reminded of this when I go to other sporting events,

234
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: which are great entertainment events unto themselves, but there's just

235
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: something about this league and the way you look forward

236
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: to things, the way we talk about it in the offseason,

237
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: with months until they play a meaningful game, yet everything

238
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: feels like it's so intense and so important because it is.

239
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: We're right now, we're at OTAs, We've got two more

240
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: weeks of this, then the mini camp, then the big break,

241
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: and it feels like it's fever pitch right now at

242
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: the end of May, as I look forward to getting

243
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: back out there on the practice field and seeing them

244
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: do their thing.

245
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 4: There is one thing I think in all professional sports

246
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: to me that that I don't know if I want

247
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: to say at that it's like a spike. You know,

248
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 4: you have that that one day where you have you know,

249
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: eighty five thousand views on something.

250
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: When you're typically getting like two three thousand.

251
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 4: And you know, the NFL is at seventy thousand every

252
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: single day, but that one day, you know, a day

253
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: it is promotion or relegation day. Oh in the Premier League.

254
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 4: In Premier League, yeah, Lootontown played on uh Oh. I

255
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 4: saw this Sunday. This, I mean, it's incredible what apparently

256
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 4: they've been through in the last nine years. People were

257
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 4: tweeting photos of their stadium and imagine a stadium, Imagine

258
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 4: BBVA if you will, and just.

259
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: Imagine Energy stadium. Yeah, there you go, Thank you.

260
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 4: Imagine town homes completely attached to the stadium, Like you

261
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 4: walk out your backyard in the stadium is the backyard.

262
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: It holds ten thousand people. That's it.

263
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 4: They have climbed and climbed and climbed for nine years

264
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 4: and they're finally in and they're in the Premier League

265
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 4: and they they get to They won on penalty kicks,

266
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: but they want on a miss. It was a I

267
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 4: mean it was a horrible miss for I think it

268
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 4: was Coventry they were playing, and it was bad. It

269
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: was a bad, bad miss, and I felt so bad

270
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 4: for that guy. But I think with promotion relegation, you know,

271
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 4: when it's a game like that, I mean that that

272
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 4: took off.

273
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: I mean that was just crazy.

274
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 4: And the world understands soccer obviously a bit more than

275
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: the United States does, but we're catching on. I think

276
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 4: the Premier League contract in twenty twelve being taken by

277
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 4: NBC so those games can be seen here in the

278
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: States has just amplified the impact of the Premier League.

279
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 4: But Lootontown going and having in somebody tweeted and this

280
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: is this is dead on. You get ten thousand and

281
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 4: Sea stadium. Can you imagine when Liverpool shows up. Oh yeah,

282
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,239
Speaker 4: when man City shows up, well, whoever has those townhouses

283
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 4: will be able to sell some oh real estate. It's

284
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 4: amazing to think what they're going to be able to do.

285
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 4: I mean amazing, amazing to do. So I that's that's

286
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 4: the one thing to me that I thought of. Now again,

287
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: does it hold a candle three sixty five twenty four

288
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 4: to seven.

289
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 3: If you're a fan of that game? Yeah.

290
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: I mean that's the second most popular league in the world, right,

291
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: besides the NFL.

292
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: I think so in the Premier League.

293
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: So, and the values of the franchises are going crazy,

294
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: so they'll be able to invest in that, But you

295
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: don't know if you're going to stay there, so I

296
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: don't know how you do the financing on all of that.

297
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: So I think it's really cool to follow though along

298
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: those lines.

299
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, promotion relegation, how could you do it? Could you

300
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: do it? Could you do it? In the NFL?

301
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: You could only do it if you had a viable

302
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: league in the fall that was playing a high level

303
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: of football that would be acceptable to the league.

304
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: Now, the league would have to own this league.

305
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: So somehow the.

306
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: League owns all the leagues, right, So you take the

307
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: us of LXFL, you blend them together somehow you have

308
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: another league.

309
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: That way you could have relegation.

310
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: Now, Mike Florio was quick to point out how the

311
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: owners would never go for the day because it's going

312
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: to lower the value of your franchise. You could also

313
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: argue it's going to raise the value of the franchises.

314
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: Of course it would in those other leagues or other league.

315
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: If there's only one. I don't think you could do

316
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: it because the XFL in the USFL. I know the

317
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: USFL is playing in what Memphis and Birmingham right now,

318
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: but the whole idea is that they're in similar or

319
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: the same markets as the NFL teams. Are there enough

320
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: markets to make it worthwhile to have a second fall

321
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: league that the NFL is invested in or invested in

322
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: like San Antonio Saint Louis The Battlecats did really well

323
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: right at the gate.

324
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: So name some other ones would you go to.

325
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: You're not gonna go to Columbus, Ohio because they're the

326
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: buck guys right there. You're not gonna go to Austin,

327
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: you have ut there. So you have to pick markets

328
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: that are big enough to have a reasonable football experience.

329
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: Twenty thirty thousand fans. But then, Johnny, then let's say

330
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: you got relegate. Let's say the Texans were relegated. We

331
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: have a seventy thousand seat stadium here in Houston, Texas.

332
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: We're going to crush the other teams in that league.

333
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: You should anywhere, you should be able to, and revenue wise,

334
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: you certainly would.

335
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: So.

336
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how all that works. I don't think

337
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: you could do it in this league.

338
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 3: I don't think you can do it in the NFL.

339
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: I just what about the NBA now that I think you.

340
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 4: Would have a better opportunity of doing it in the

341
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 4: NBA because you own the G League or the D

342
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 4: League or whatever it is.

343
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: Now. You the NBA owns that, does it not?

344
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 4: Uh?

345
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 3: I mean the NBA always runs.

346
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: At the G League.

347
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, I think you could probably do it.

348
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: It's not that league, though.

349
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: You would have to take a quarter of the league

350
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: or a third of the league and turn it into

351
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: another league. I think to make this work. Yeah, you know,

352
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: how about in college Vanderbilt you're out of the SEC.

353
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: Sorry guys, sorry we're bringing up.

354
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 4: You've been done, You've transitioning.

355
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: Whoever might be.

356
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's funny in college football feels.

357
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: A little more doable in some ways.

358
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: I know what the non rev or Olympic sports as

359
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: they call them, it would be a little clunky, a

360
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: lot clunky. I I just it works so well there

361
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: and it's part of the culture there.

362
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: The relegation deal is part of the culture overseas.

363
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, And I think that's part of our culture.

364
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 4: That exactly, and that I think is the is the

365
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 4: big disconnect in some sense also the fact that you

366
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 4: have over in overseas you have multiple tiered leagues, so

367
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: you have Premier League, you have Championship, you have League One,

368
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 4: you have all these different leagues all the way down

369
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 4: to the league that rexhim is in. So you already

370
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 4: have those teams established that are already there. And it

371
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 4: is a massive part and it's been a built in,

372
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 4: massive part throughout you know, throughout time, throughout time over there,

373
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 4: so they understand that concept. I think it would be

374
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 4: a very foreign concept if you told somebody in the NFL,

375
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 4: or you told can you imagine telling an SEC fan

376
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 4: you've been relegated, which means been relegated.

377
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 3: Where are we going?

378
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 4: You have been relegated to the Sun Belt difference. Maybe

379
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 4: that's what we should do in college football. You should

380
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 4: have conferences like the SEC and Sun Belt. And you know,

381
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 4: if you get if you get promoted, you get promoted

382
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 4: to the SEC, you're relegated, you go to the the

383
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 4: sun Belt because there you at least have some geography.

384
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: But there's so many things wrong with that, or I

385
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 4: should say wrong. There are so many things. There are

386
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: so many things that you it's just so foreign to everybody,

387
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 4: you know, from a relegation stim you want to talk

388
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 4: about not tanking, that would eliminate that would eliminate not tanking.

389
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, or tanking, it would eliminate that. Speaking of tanking,

390
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: that's what they're accusing the Cardinals of doing. But we

391
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: don't have to get to that right now. Due we No,

392
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: let's get to this. And you mentioned that, I think

393
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: we can spend more than a couple of segments on this.

394
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned this to me walking around the stadium today.

395
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: What three players are the most important to this team's

396
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: success this year?

397
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: Non quarterback?

398
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: Who's got to play the bulk of the games you

399
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: have seventeen games. Who's got to start minimum fourteen fifteen

400
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: for this team to take.

401
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: That big step that you want to see and my

402
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: big step.

403
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: We could all define it in our own way, big step, six, seven,

404
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: eight wins, whatever the big step is for you, but

405
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: just really get a whole lot more competitive. Have it

406
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: really show up in the win column, double triple the

407
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: win total, double and a half, double triple the win total.

408
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 3: Whatever.

409
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: Again your personal definition is. But who's got to really

410
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: step up here? Non quarterback? We all agree that play

411
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position has to be a lot better

412
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: for them to be more successful. But where else? Where

413
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: else are we looking? And who are the individuals involved?

414
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: You want to go with the first pick here?

415
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: To me?

416
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: And I've said this one before, but I bet I'm

417
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: going to say who I'm thinking of.

418
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 4: But go on, I think Derek Stingley's got to play

419
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 4: sixteen to seventeen games.

420
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: Ooh, I wasn't going to go there.

421
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I think he does. And I say that

422
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: because I don't.

423
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 4: I don't you know in the vision, you know, look

424
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 4: the Jaguars or Trevor Lawrence, you know, pretty solid with

425
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: Calvin Ridley. That's a matchup that I hope in due time,

426
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 4: you know, we'll see a lot of and Hopefully sting

427
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 4: is gonna win that matchup because I think Ridley that

428
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 4: pickup was was really good for the Jaguars.

429
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: I just think there's something to his play.

430
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 4: And I go back to twenty nineteen when he was

431
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 4: at LSU, when he was on the field and teams

432
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 4: attacked him, they eventually learned not to attack him because

433
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 4: he just plays with such confidence. And I don't really

434
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 4: saw that confidence totally last year. I felt like he

435
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 4: was playing, he was playing hard before the injury, and

436
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 4: I felt like he was playing to the best of

437
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: his ability, but he was, you know, learning how to

438
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 4: play corner as a rookie in the NFL. I just

439
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 4: feel like there's something to having that guy on the

440
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 4: field sixteen or seventeen games this year. I think there

441
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 4: are a number of things that that go into that.

442
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 4: I think there's there's confidence that, hey, you go, you

443
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: go throw it him and if he starts, If he starts,

444
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 4: it's getting to a point where we think he can

445
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 4: be where he can shut down one side of the field. Well,

446
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 4: now you don't have to devote covers like hey, not

447
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: to say it's Stingley Island or anything like that, but

448
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 4: you got this business over here, all right, cool, Well,

449
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 4: we'll help out the other guys on the other side, right,

450
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: and we'll let you take care of your business over here.

451
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 4: And you have that that just gives you so much

452
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 4: that you can do on the defensive side. So I'm

453
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 4: gonna start with I'm gonna start with Derek Stingley going

454
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 4: sixteen or seventeen games. I'm gonna stay in the secondary.

455
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 4: Oh and I'm gonna go with Jimmy Ward.

456
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 3: Oh Okay.

457
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: I think Jimmy Ward's play and who he is on

458
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: and off the field means a whole lot more not more. See,

459
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: I want to be very clear on this. Stingley is

460
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: very important. Yeah, he's crucial. As a matter of fact.

461
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: Just because I'm gonna name Jimmy Ward my guy in

462
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: the secondary doesn't mean I think the other guys are

463
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: so good. Petrie, you know I love him, right, I

464
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: love sting Love des King.

465
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

466
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: Steven Nelson the farmer, the farmer. Farmer doesn't sound like

467
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: a nasty nickname, does it, But he's an act.

468
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: I want to describe a dB.

469
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: Look up the video on YouTube that we did Steven

470
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: Nilsen farmer at Google. Trust me, it's good anyway, I

471
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: just think that again, just because I named Jimmy Ward

472
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I think the other guys think or something

473
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: right or not important.

474
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: But I think Jimmy Ward might be the most important.

475
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: Just seeing him out there, Johnny, there's this something about

476
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: him where he's been, what he's done, the defense he

477
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: played with and on and the ruboff effect he can

478
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: have on these younger players and everybody else around him.

479
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 2: No matter what, I think, Jimmy Ward is the guy.

480
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh next, I'm right there with you. I think

481
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 4: Jimmy there's more than just Jimmy Ward the player. Like

482
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 4: between the whistles you're getting, you're getting so much more

483
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 4: with Jimmy Ward. I think then you've had that position.

484
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 4: And especially because he knows his defense too, or if

485
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 4: he doesn't know every single call, because maybe Matt Burke

486
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 4: has put in some some new wrinkles or you know,

487
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 4: maybe doing a couple of new things and Demiko or

488
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 4: as this thing evolves, but for the most part, he

489
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 4: knows it. And I think that's gonna be that's gonna

490
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 4: be a big thing I think for Jimmy warden back.

491
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 4: I I don't really want to say Laramie because I

492
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 4: feel like it's too easy. But I really feel like

493
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 4: if Larmie Tunsell is not playing left tackle this year,

494
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be really really.

495
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 3: Worried, right, because it pushes everything around.

496
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: You have to maybe put Heck at left tackle, and

497
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: who's playing right well, I mean Heck would play left tackle.

498
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: Titus is going to be a right tack right, And

499
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: not to say that, but all of a sudden everything

500
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: goes into us, not a tailspin, but musical chairs maybe

501
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: because you might get an injury there and what do

502
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: you do after that? And is he going to be

503
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: able to occupy the spot for the whole season? I

504
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: get what you're saying.

505
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 4: And then it goes back to with like with Stingley,

506
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 4: like a sting gets to the point where his game

507
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 4: is really you know, he's feeling good, he's hot like

508
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 4: he and he's traveling with a receiver or it's man, man,

509
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 4: he's got that guy, and you know you can give

510
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 4: help elsewhere because sting is just in it. It's the

511
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 4: same thing with Laramie. There are times and rushers that

512
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 4: Laramie just handles one on one, just handles, but there

513
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 4: might be the guys that aren't gonna do that. So

514
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 4: you want to give help. You want to put a

515
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 4: tight end over there. You want to put a back

516
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 4: over there, you want to chip, you want a tight

517
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: end and a back over there to help negate that rusher.

518
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 3: Laramie does that one on one, and so it frees.

519
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 4: Other pass catchers or potential blockers up to go out

520
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 4: in routes or to help somewhere else.

521
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: And Laramie can handle that one on one.

522
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 4: So I am going to say, Laramy tuns I've talked

523
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 4: myself into it. It seems obvious, but I don't think

524
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,479
Speaker 4: it really is. I think it's the fact that and

525
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 4: why I say that, and that is, can you handle

526
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: what guys in this league at that position can handle

527
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 4: rushers one on one?

528
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 3: Well, this offensive staff.

529
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 4: Saw one of them last year in Trent Williams, and

530
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 4: they'll have one on Laramie Tunzels. So they I would

531
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 4: imagine they'll have, Hey, Laramie's Laramie's on his a game.

532
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 4: He's got a one on one. All right, then let's

533
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 4: do this. Let's slide protection, Let's leave him on his own.

534
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 4: Let's ship here, let's double here. Let's let's leave him

535
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 4: all on his own and he'll handle it. But you

536
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 4: don't have that, and all of a sudden it becomes

537
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 4: it gets a little dicey, and hopefully I'm not into

538
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: dice so hopefully that doesn't happen.

539
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 3: All right.

540
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: My second guy of players that you cannot afford to

541
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: lose or not play in at least fourteen to fifteen

542
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: games this year, non quarterback edition, Malik Collins. I'm gonna

543
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: say that I think Malik Collins is valuable now until

544
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: some of the other guys, until the Hassan Ridgeways of

545
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: the world, you know, prove themselves here. They've proven themselves

546
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: other places. I just think that he is. We saw

547
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: what happened when he left the lineup last year.

548
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: It was obvious.

549
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, in this.

550
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: Defense, I know it's different than Love's, but you're still

551
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: playing a four man front. They're gonna mix the master,

552
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna do some things.

553
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 2: I get it.

554
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: But I think Maleak's got to be.

555
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: A part of the mix here, and I think he's

556
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: a really important part of the mix. And as long

557
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: as you have him, everything else can flourish, can really

558
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: go on the road toward major improvement on that side

559
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: of the football. Stopping the run, getting some pressure on

560
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Not that he's a pressure demon, but you

561
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: got to occupy the middle. If you're gonna ge the

562
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: edge guy's going. So I think Malik Collins is number

563
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: two on my list.

564
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 3: I like that, and I think you're dead on it.

565
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 3: You go back to that Las Vegas game.

566
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 4: It was early when he got hurt, but they weren't

567
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: getting gashed at that point. He went out of the game,

568
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 4: and for the next three games that he was out,

569
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 4: that and two others, I believe teams they ran the

570
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 4: football with very little opposition maybe the best way of

571
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 4: saying it. And wily Collins being out of there, I

572
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 4: felt like, man, that that was not a good thing.

573
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: And when he's in there, they're still able to make plays.

574
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: Even if the rushing yardage total for the opponent is

575
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: not really that fun to watch or fun to see it,

576
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: still making plays. They're still getting some negative plays, some

577
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: key pressures and key moments and get off the field

578
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: and all right, they got some yards, but you're still

579
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: in the game. Remember all those games they were in

580
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter? All right, next segment, our final

581
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: player there, plus what's up with the Jimmy Garoppolo situation.

582
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: Is there another quarterback domino game to play if Jimmy's unavailable?

583
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it's Texans Radio, Mark VanderMeer and John

584
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: Harris keeping your company on your ride home or wherever

585
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: you're riding to. There was a talk show host of Miami,

586
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: Jim Mandage, who played tight end for the Dolphins back

587
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: in the day, played on the seventy two undefeated team.

588
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: He used to say, riding around with your windows down.

589
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: Now in Houston, we don't do a lot of that. No,

590
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean on a nice day, you can't do it

591
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: on the highways because debris might fly into your window.

592
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 2: Right, you can't do it on the highway.

593
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: That's why convertibles in Houston they don't really play unless

594
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: you're off highway in the suburbs, some nice calm roads.

595
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: Nice ride.

596
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it, But you can't do it in

597
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: the in the guts of Houston. Just can't do it.

598
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: Can't have the top down. No, that's dangerous. No, I

599
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: mean something's gonna hit you. The unshield business in Houston

600
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: does very well for itself.

601
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

602
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 4: People that I've encountered being in the car that are

603
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 4: from the northeast or New to Houston. This happened in Jackson,

604
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 4: will too. I mean, very very similar climates. It would

605
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 4: happen and they'd roll the windows down and I'd be like,

606
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 4: I'd go right back up with it.

607
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 3: I'm like, turn your air conditioning on.

608
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: I do it around my neighborhood for my dog. Yeah,

609
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: you know, and then we may speed up. You have

610
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: that vibrato, so I have to raise it, and.

611
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 4: That makes that makes total sense. You don't do anything

612
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 4: for your dog.

613
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: Both my ten year old and my dog like to

614
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: hang their head out the window, so that happens, Johnny.

615
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: Third player.

616
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: We're doing top three players for the Texans that you

617
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: can't afford to lose. You really need them to play

618
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen, sixteen games minimum this year in order to

619
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: make that big jump you're looking for. Can't be a quarterback,

620
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: you said, Laramie.

621
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: That was my second, and my first was Derek Stingley.

622
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: Stingley, I said, Jimmy Ward, and I forget the next one,

623
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: Malik Collins Collins, all right, you go next.

624
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: Who's your third guy?

625
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 4: I I went back and forth on this, which which

626
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 4: guy it seeming you had to be?

627
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: I thought about Nico Collins because I would like to say,

628
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: but you think it's I'm thinking out loud here, I'm

629
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 3: not to my answer. I would love that.

630
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: He plays fourteen to fifteen games and it means that

631
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: much to the offense.

632
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

633
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 4: I think it qualifies. But that's not my answer. All right,

634
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 4: what's your answer? My answer is Christian Harris.

635
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 3: This is like in chess where you move the piece

636
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 3: but you don't let go of the piece. No, I

637
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 3: wasn't doing it. No, No, it's all right. It's all right.

638
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,719
Speaker 3: That's a legal thing. You just move it. You can

639
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: take your hand a little.

640
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't take your hand. You have a little

641
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: look at the board and kids, you should be playing chess.

642
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: Come on, it's great, y. Yeah, you look at the

643
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: and they're like, not gonna do it anyway. What's your answer?

644
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 4: It it's Christian Harris, and I think they're When I

645
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 4: think about indispensable players, and I'm not just in Houston,

646
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 4: but I think about across the league, I think one

647
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: that rarely gets mentioned, but it should as it pertains

648
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 4: to the Texans is Fred Warner. Now I am not repeat,

649
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 4: I am not putting Fred Warner on Risten Harris.

650
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: Fred's on the phone right.

651
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 4: Fred Warner to me is the best stack of linebacker

652
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 4: in the league. I think he's phenomenal. He learned under

653
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 4: Damico Ryans from the time Fred Warner got in the league,

654
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 4: Demiko Ryans as linebacker's coach. Then he was a defensive coordinator.

655
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 4: Fred Warner plays the game the way I want to

656
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 4: see a linebacker play the game. Speed, size, past coverage, ability,

657
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 4: football IQ.

658
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 3: I think Christian Harris has all of those traits. Now.

659
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 3: I don't think he's as big as Fred.

660
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 4: I think Fred's a little bit bigger, a little bit taller,

661
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 4: but speed, versatility, past coverage, speed, which can be a

662
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 4: little bit different understanding past all that.

663
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 3: I think Christian.

664
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 4: Harris being able to play in this defense, playing free

665
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 4: and fast can change the game for this defense and

666
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 4: how they want to play it. Along with sting, I

667
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 4: think you've got to have elite speed at as many

668
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 4: different positions out on the field as possible, and I

669
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 4: think Derek Exstingly has that corner. I think Christian Harris

670
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 4: has that linebacker And if you've got a Fred Warner

671
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 4: like impact, not Fred Warner, because it's gonna be I

672
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 4: mean nearly impossible to match.

673
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 3: Fred Warner.

674
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 4: But if you play, if Christian Harris would to play

675
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 4: like him and do it for fourteen fifteen, sixteen weeks

676
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 4: of the year, imagine where this defense is, especially, as

677
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 4: we've noted, linebackers have the linebacker played the last couple

678
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 4: of years. In particular, from the time I thought about this,

679
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 4: from the time that Benardrick McKinney got flipped over his

680
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 4: head against Minnesota and he dislocated his wrist. That was

681
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 4: week four, Week four, Week four, Week five, Week four

682
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,239
Speaker 4: of the twenty twenty season. The linebackers have not been

683
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 4: the same and not been right. Wow, not been right.

684
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 4: Zach Cunningham when Benardrick went out, Zach tried to do

685
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 4: way too much. He lost his zest for this team

686
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 4: and for playing, and that was gone. Christian's come in

687
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 4: here and I think done some really really good things

688
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 4: at linebacker, but across the board as a whole, that

689
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 4: just hasn't been the case. And that's kind of the

690
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 4: point I go back to, because I felt like Benardrik

691
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 4: Hack controlled the entire defense at that point. I felt

692
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 4: like he had that defense kind of locked in for

693
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 4: the most part while he was there.

694
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 3: They've lacked it out Roderick.

695
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 4: Different guy, but I feel like the addition to Denzel Perriman,

696
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 4: what they've done in the draft, Henry totoa Christian Kirksey.

697
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 3: Still being here.

698
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 4: But Christian Harris to me is the difference maker because

699
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 4: of that speed and athleticism and just seeing him out

700
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 4: of OTA's last week, I'm like, man, he looks bigger.

701
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 3: He just looked.

702
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 4: He kind of looks body wise like I'm looking at

703
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 4: Fred Warner.

704
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 3: He's just not as tall. I think Christians sixty one,

705
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 3: Fred sixty three.

706
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: But man, if you've got a Fred Warner like player

707
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 4: in this defense and got it for fourteen to seventeen games,

708
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 4: sign me up.

709
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 3: So Christian Harris my guy.

710
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: They've got some depth at linebacker.

711
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm looking around out there and it's

712
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: Jake Hansen and Blake Cashman. We don't even talk about

713
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: them much lately because he have the new guys. But

714
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: don't forget about me, guys. They are among that group.

715
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: And it's just about that time of year where I

716
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: start with my category, don't forget about me, guys. But

717
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do that today. My third player. It's

718
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: the easiest answer in the world. Should I just go

719
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: with the layup right here, Give.

720
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 4: Me a layup and then give me a deep three

721
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 4: point shot at the buzzer with two seconds on the

722
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 4: shot clock.

723
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: Simmons would call this a Dion Waiters or something like that,

724
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: but the layup is Damian Pierce. Damian Pierce plays fifteen games.

725
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm feeling really good about the improvement of this offense.

726
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: And I don't want to say I don't care what

727
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: else you do with it, but seeing what they're doing

728
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: and how they've done it in San Francisco and the

729
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: Kubiakian system back in the day, and everything you're gonna

730
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: throw to the backs, they've been able to run the ball.

731
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: Once this offensive system is established. And I'm not saying

732
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: year one, but I saw it here, you're able to

733
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: run the ball with a lot of different guys. When

734
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: you have a thoroughbread like Damian Pierce, forget about it.

735
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: You are gonna get some great things done on the ground.

736
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna get some great things done just by throwing

737
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: those passes to the running back when you have other

738
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: deeper threats or other threats to throw to to kind

739
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: of mix it up and confuse the defense a little bit.

740
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: I love it. I want to see more from him.

741
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: Hopefully he stays around for fifteen plus games this year

742
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: because last year he had to exit with the injury.

743
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: So we'll see how this year plays out.

744
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: But I think he is the guy, Johnny, I'll give

745
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: you a sneaky hot one.

746
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 3: I don't think that it's.

747
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: Crucial crucial, but I think it would be really good

748
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to mean a lot for

749
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: this football team. Robert Woods, who we heard from in

750
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: the podium last week, Robert Woods does some things in

751
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: practice where you're like, Robert Woods good, Robert Woods better

752
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: than a lot of people think. I think he's been

753
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: obviously banged up. That's been a part of the problem

754
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: even in LA. Look, you had Cooper Cup out there,

755
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: You've had other pass catches out there, Cooks Obj, You've

756
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: had other guys out there when he was there.

757
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 2: Forget about what happened in Nashville.

758
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: Although Nashville wasn't exactly a drought for him, right, I

759
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: think he can do a lot of things and who

760
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: he is. It kind of goes along with the Jimmy

761
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: Ward thing. Who he is off the field, showing up

762
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: at the quarterback meeting room. Robert Woods is going to

763
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: mean a lot for this football team on and off

764
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: the field, and I think he belongs in this group somewhere,

765
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: maybe in my not my top three, but right up there.

766
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 4: I think the value of a veteran. We've seen this

767
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 4: the last last couple of years. Obviously it's not turned

768
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 4: into a you know, a ton of wins, but like

769
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 4: Christian Kirksey, just when things are not going completely the

770
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 4: way you want and it can go completely off the rails,

771
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 4: Christian is one of those guys that kind of with

772
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 4: his leadership kind of can not let it.

773
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 3: Go off the rails.

774
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, And there's only so much that the Texans were

775
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 4: gonna be able to do the last couple of years.

776
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 4: They just talent, Yeah, talent wise just wasn't what it

777
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 4: has been and what it is now.

778
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 3: But effort was there, especially last year.

779
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: I thought they never let go of the rope, right,

780
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: but the rope was a little too much for them

781
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: to handle.

782
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 3: Right exactly.

783
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 4: And I think having a seasoned veteran week in and

784
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 4: week out, that helps younger players, first, second, third year

785
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 4: players ride the wave of a season, Yeah, help them

786
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 4: you know, stay maybe not calm all the time. But

787
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 4: to make sure they don't get out of whack and

788
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 4: out of balance.

789
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 3: Keep it two games helpful.

790
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, it's up keep a two game losing streak

791
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: from becoming a four game losinga that kind of thing,

792
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: because I think.

793
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 4: That's what Robert Woods can bring too to the offensive side,

794
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 4: that sort of thing of hey, you know, I always

795
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 4: have to be well when I was with the Rams

796
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 4: or when I was with the Titans. No, you just

797
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 4: you just speak from your experience and that'll that'll be

798
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 4: helpful enough. Those guys talk to a guy, Yeah, absolutely,

799
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 4: And I think Robert Woods is going to be able

800
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 4: to provide that sort of leadership.

801
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 3: I think that alone.

802
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 4: Let's say Robert doesn't catch ninety passes, but he has

803
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 4: a good, solid year. It's his presence alone is going

804
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 4: to matter to especially if he stroud starts, which we

805
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 4: expect him to tell a rookie quarterback. For a guy

806
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 4: that can find open holes in the zone, do those things.

807
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 3: I think it's hugually important. Next, you know how Peter

808
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: King has that.

809
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: I think I think part of his column, this is

810
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: what they're thinking. Part of the column. Our column it's

811
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: coming up next, not really a column it's a show.

812
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 2: It's Texans Radio.

813
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: All right, quick segment to wrap it all up here today,

814
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: enjoying it tomorrow. Chris Strasser on the program, Texans offensive

815
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: line coach, and we'll get out there to practice. Report

816
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: on what we see, all right, Johnny, Jimmy Garoppolo failed

817
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: physical contract, a dendum part whatever it was that enables

818
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders to get out of the deal. Interesting stuff.

819
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: You look at that Raiders depth chart at quarterback.

820
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 4: Ooh, Brian Hoyer, Brian Hoyr.

821
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 3: You're starting in Las Vegas? How your fuel? Raiders fans

822
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 3: Aidan O'Connell.

823
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: Now, Chase Garber's Johnny that those are guys that I

824
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: have unless I'm missing somebody.

825
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 3: Which leads me to this.

826
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: I haven't really delved deeply into the Raiders quarterback situation.

827
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: I knew they signed Hoyer, but I thought, if Jimmy g'

828
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: is your quarterback, I don't care if he passed the physical.

829
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 1: Don't you have to have a better option than that

830
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: to go out there and perform your duties. This is

831
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: year two of the McDaniels era. You don't want to

832
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: go out there and not be competitive. And I know

833
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: Hoyer can keep you in some gains, but it doesn't

834
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 1: go on forever.

835
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: He's been in this league a long time.

836
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 4: Buys, here's the thing with this situation, We'll never know

837
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 4: completely how the Raiders front office addressed or wanted to

838
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 4: address the quarterback position. I mean, they could have drafted

839
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 4: Will Levis, but the top three quarterbacks are off the board.

840
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 4: How hard were they going after a one, two or

841
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 4: three spot in this draft?

842
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 3: We'll never know that. They may not have. They may

843
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 3: have felt like, you know what, Jimmy Garoppolo is our guy.

844
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 4: But here's the thing. I've been reading this situation about Garoppolo.

845
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 4: Remember how the press conference got delayed a couple days. Yeah, well,

846
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 4: this is really what it was all about. So essentially,

847
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 4: he kind of waived his rights, if you will, going

848
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 4: in saying, hey, look, you failed the physical. You acknowledge

849
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 4: that you failed the physical. If you were unable to play,

850
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 4: then that's on you. Basically, it's kind of what they

851
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 4: they agreed to at that point. If you're the Raiders,

852
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 4: aren't you going, hey, hmm, we sure about this. You

853
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 4: don't think we should go get a young quarterback? Now,

854
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 4: they didn't get go get Aidan O'Connell who I think

855
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 4: has got some potential. He's a big boy too, right

856
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 4: you and he can you know, he's basically Jared Goff.

857
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 4: He's another golf He's just I don't think he's his

858
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 4: talents as golf. That's why he went the fourth round.

859
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 4: But I wouldn't be completely surprised. They would not even

860
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 4: shock me if Aidan O'Connell somehow was starting for the

861
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 4: Raiders at some point during the season.

862
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: At some point during the season is different from week one? Right,

863
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 1: was Garoppolo going to recover in time because he's done

864
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: this before where he doesn't.

865
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 4: Recover in time or has some of the and if

866
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 4: he doesn't recover, then how does anybody recover in that

867
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 4: front office?

868
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 2: I don't know.

869
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 3: It's it's a risky it's a sticky, sticky wicket.

870
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: At his best, Garoppolo's really good. He's look Is he great?

871
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: We could debate that. Is he elite? He's not elite,

872
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: but he's a.

873
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 3: Good quess not Joe Flacco's elite. Question.

874
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a good quarterback with Josh Jacobs in the lineup.

875
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 4: Oh Man DeVante gave It was interesting because Davante did

876
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 4: an interview somewhere I can't remember where, probably four to

877
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 4: six weeks ago now, and it makes a lot of sense.

878
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 4: It makes a ton of sense now because he didn't

879
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 4: say anything specifically, but he was not very positive about

880
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 4: kind of the direction of things.

881
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 2: About catching passes from Brian Hoyer.

882
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 4: Oh, he didn't mention that per se, but he was

883
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 4: not seemingly very happy. He had to kind of kind

884
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 4: of walk back his comments that he made, like, oh, man,

885
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 4: I'm happy.

886
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 3: I'm happy. I mean, but you go back and think, wow,

887
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 3: what did he know at the time? What did he know?

888
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 3: What did they know? And why are they going to

889
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 3: get Jimmy Garoppolo?

890
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 4: And so at that point, if I'm thinking there could

891
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 4: be an issue with Jimmy, hey, do we need to

892
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 4: get a really expensive insurance policy and make sure that

893
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 4: we go get a first round rookie quarterback even if

894
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 4: it is Levis? Do we need to go do that?

895
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 4: And they didn't. So I don't know they didn't move up.

896
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if they were trying hard to move up,

897
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 4: and that we'll never know whether they were or not.

898
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 4: But I can't believe that they knew this about Garoppolo

899
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 4: and then weren't trying their Darness to get up to

900
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 4: go get a quarterback?

901
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 3: I got it.

902
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: You know what the thought process is, think New England,

903
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: all right, we always have to with the former New

904
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 1: England guys, just in case it might not be correct,

905
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: but just in case, think New England. Garoppolo is mac Okay, yeah,

906
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: Hoyer is Hoyer.

907
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 3: And Aiden is Bailey. Z happy.

908
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: That's what I Zappie's gonna end up starting.

909
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 3: So hey, it worked there? Did it really? Though? Didn't

910
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 3: really work there? We'll say that.

911
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 4: Garoppolo isn't that guy because you can't get healthier.

912
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 3: Whatever the case might be. What do the Raiders do

913
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 3: they make a move for somebody?

914
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 2: Who are you making a move for?

915
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, that's that's my point. I think they're

916
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 3: going to trade for Davis Mill.

917
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 4: No, No, it's just it's gonna come up. No, you

918
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 4: know who they might trade for? What Ryan Tannehill?

919
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: Oh, that'd be interesting. That are the Titans going to

920
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: do that? They're gonna start the Levis era early?

921
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. By the way, I saw Levis the.

922
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: Instagram video of him throwing without his shirt on, and

923
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: I thought that's what people are seeing.

924
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 3: That's they went be.

925
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: It. They went Baywatch, and I think you told me

926
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: he was hassle Hoff. So they went he's written, They

927
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: went total halfle lot. Yeah, they went moneyball scout, like, oh,

928
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: look at that body. He's going to be great as

929
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback as opposed to Tom Brady, six round

930
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: draft choice, Johnny, thank you tomorrow, O TA stuff. Chris Strasser,
