Johnny, 10 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: I love it because this means we can interview players 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: coming up in training camp face to face, and I 12 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: love that. Obviously we can be with them instead of 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: on zoom. You know, zoom had its advantages in a 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: way because catching up with players at home, for instance, 15 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: that was nice because they were really comfortable and they 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: were used to the zoom format. And they're younger, so 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: it's been put to me they are natives to this technology. 18 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: We are immigrants, right, yes, and that was really cool, 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: but I'd much try to be face to face. I 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be great and I can't wait.

It's a 39 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: time between Andre Johnson catching running overtime in twenty twelve, 40 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: in the game in which the Texans were down two 41 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: touchdowns on the fourth quarter and came back and Chad Henny, 42 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: who was a Texans killer, was unbelievable that day. Yep, 43 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: let the Texans won the game. And two thousand and three, 44 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: Week four, David Carr over the top. Dom Caper says, 45 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: let's go over the touchdown on fourth and goal point 46 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: blank range. You can kick the field goal and go 47 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: to overtime, or go over the top, or score a 48 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: touchdown in any way, shape or form and win the 49 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: football game. Right there, he chose to put car over 50 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: the top, and I loved that at the time and 51 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: I still do. So those are the Vander moments from 52 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: that particular game. All right, Harris moment would be twenty nineteen, 53 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: justin Reid stop at the goal line. Very nice, that'd 54 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: be a good one. Okay, Sunday, September ninth at Cleveland. 55 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 1: Now the non division opponents. Your moment can be home 56 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: or away, doesn't happen, doesn't have to be ben vision, 57 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: just be that moment against Cleveland. By the way, My 58 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: away Jacksonville moment would be, uh, we'll get to that 59 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. Oh okay, all right, well, all right, 60 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: I'll wait for the away Jacksonville game to get by 61 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: way Jacksonville moment, yes, but the Cleveland moment would have 62 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: to be Ryan Mallet right, Bryan Malley getting that start, 63 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: throwing the touchdown pass to Watt, watch picking up a 64 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: couple of penalties for did he rough the punter or 65 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: did he jump early? When he roughed in there twice. 66 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: He was like, remember LaVar Arrington in college at Pitt 67 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: State was harassing punters in nineteen ninety nine, and then 68 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: he shows up to the University of Miami at the 69 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: Orange Bowl and we're all waiting for it. It was 70 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: a big showdown. It was really cool. Anyway, Watt jumped 71 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: in to special teams and rough the putter twice. That 72 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: was a win. It was nice. I think we talked 73 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: about that game recently, so that was a van your moment. 74 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: Thursday night, September twenty three, it is Texans care Knight 75 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: presented by Chevron against the Carolina Panthers. I love this 76 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: because this is the first battle Red Day in two 77 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: thousand and three. Tony Banks gets to start the Texans 78 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: beat the Carolina Panthers, the eventual NFC champions, who had 79 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: played in the Super Bowl in this building. Later on, 80 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna catch up with Tony Banks this week, 81 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: I think in a series called where Are They Now? 82 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: With former Texans players, So that's very good Texans legends. 83 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: Where are They Now?

I mean, it's just 86 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: we just played it, I think last Friday, but I 87 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: don't know. It's your vandom moment, you pick it. Look, 88 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: you I could talk about the playoff game, but I'm 89 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: gonna stick to if we've got a vander moment from 90 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: that site, I will stick to that moment. I like it. 91 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: And I know they won there in OH nine, but again, 92 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: and I'll go back to OH three, David Carr gets 93 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: hurt Banks again, Tony Backs has to come into the 94 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: game and the Texans beat the Bills that day in 95 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: a low scoring game. And look, this is when victories 96 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: were rare. I know they were rare last year or two, 97 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: but they were rare back in the early days. When 98 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: you beat a team on the road, it was huge. 99 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: And beating the Bills that was the first trip to 100 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo for the Houston Texans, and it was great to win. 101 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: That's my Bander moment. Sunday, October tenth versus the New 102 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: England Patriots. It's Pink Ribbon Day presented by Kroger, part 103 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: of NFL Crucial Catch I'll Go oh nine regular season finale, 104 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: beating them for the first time ever. The first ever 105 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: winning season clinched with that victory. Brian Hoyer played a 106 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: couple of series, but Brady played most of the game 107 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: and the Texans won and were alive for the playoffs 108 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: when they left the building, But they did not get 109 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: the help they needed in the late games and had 110 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: to settle for the winning season. But that was a 111 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: nice moment, and there haven't been enough of them against 112 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots, although they've won two in a row against 113 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: New England going into this game this year the following week, Sunday, 114 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: October seventh at Indianapolis. Oh, Johnny, Johnny, It's two fifteen 115 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: and weed and replacing Yates, hitting jail and strong. We've 116 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: talked about this one a lot. That's that's probably my 117 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: favorite all time Texans win. And I know that's you know, 118 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: if you want to go, what's the all time vander 119 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: moment That is it. Yeah. Look, I know the Clintscher 120 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: and the first playoff win and all the great other 121 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: ones that we talk about, but that one beating Indie 122 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: Owen thirteen. Heading into that game, years of frustration lifted. 123 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not ever gonna get rid of the past, 124 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: but that was so great to get it on that 125 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: afternoon the following weekend Sunday, October twenty fourth reunion with 126 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: a few guys we know at the Arizona Cardinals. Oh, 127 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: it's tough for a vander moment with the car I 128 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: know this, I know this one, but I'm gonna go 129 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson knocking three people over us wait to the 130 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: end zone in OH nine. That was a loss, okay, 131 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: but that was a great moment. And even in thirteen, 132 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: when you're having a bad season, you go out there 133 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: and he hit a couple of toe drag swag tech 134 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: catches in the end zone off the arm of case Keenum. 135 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: But they were not able to win the game. Boy, 136 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: you know what, they've never wanted Arizona, and they got 137 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: to win at Arizona. And even in the preseason and fourteen, 138 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: we remember Bill O'Brien's debut in that preseason game where 139 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: everything went wrong that could possibly go wrong. Clowney flashed 140 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: a little bit that day in his first ever NFL 141 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: action of any kind. But Arizona is a tough cookie. 142 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: I'll give you one at home, though, really quick. In 143 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: oh five, of the Texans having a horrible season, they 144 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: were one and whatever. Dan Reeves comes in as the consultant. 145 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: David Carr calls his own plays and they beat the 146 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: Cardinals that day. That was one of their two wins 147 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: that season. And I thought, all right, now that the 148 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: consultants here, cars calling his own plays and we look great. 149 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's kind of like bringing your 150 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: car to the mechanic and it's broken, but whatever was ailing, 151 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: it is not going wrong at the mechanics place. Or 152 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: you go to the doctor and you feel better all 153 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden. That was what that was like. Yeah, 154 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: it definitely was Halloween afternoon at home. It will be Kids' Day, 155 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: a celebration to Play sixty presented by Texas Children's Hospital 156 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: against the La Rams. Do I have a Rams moment? 157 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: You know? All right? I don't know that I wrecked 158 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: my brain hard. I don't know, all right. They beat 159 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: the Rams at oh nine in Saint Louis, and the 160 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: night before we went to Joe and jack Bucks.

I just love it 166 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: so much. And Jack Buck is just so real.

Yeah, that's that popped into my head first, 203 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: so I'll go with it. Speaking of the Jets. Sunday, 204 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: November twenty eighth, at noon, Smooth the Service Day presented 205 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: by Bud Light.

I love 209 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: that day against the New York Jets because there have 210 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: been some bad days against the Jets too. It was 211 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: a good day at eighteen late in the season, but 212 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: there have been some bad days against the Jets, all right. 213 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: Let's get to a fun one. Sunday, December fifth, at 214 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: noon battle Red Day presented by Mattress Firm against the 215 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. First thing that popped into my head was 216 00:11:53,960 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: Brock Brock, Brock, Brock, Brock and Brock leading the cup back, 217 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: hitting Lamar Miller inside the ten and Lamar Miller Whoop whoop, 218 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: gets into the end zone and then they get the 219 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: ball back and he hits Fedora Wits and they tie 220 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: the game, send it to overtime, and then he hits 221 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: Jail and straw and to set up the winning field goal. 222 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: Brock played well on that night on national TV, it 223 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: was Andrew Luck against Brock. Brock is two and up 224 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: against Andrew Luck as a Houston Texans. Take that to 225 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: the bank, baby, Oh yeah, exactly, all right. The following 226 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: week's Sun in December twelfth is homecoming, which has become 227 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: one of my favorite weekends, and not because of the corsages, 228 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: but get to see a lot of guys and now 229 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: I've got I've got enough tenure. I suppose that I 230 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: know a lot of the guys coming back, so it's 231 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: always fun. And it is the Seattle Seahawks, your Vander moment, 232 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: and there might only be one against the Seattle Seahawks. 233 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: Well there was what it isn't Yeah, I know thet 234 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: Vander moment. Yeah exactly. I mean the win in oh 235 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: nine at home with Hasselbeck. There's a great gigantic blown 236 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: up pictures somewhere in somebody's office here on the business 237 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: this side of things, where Andrey Johnson's catching a bomb 238 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: from match shob and Hasselbeck, who is still the quarterback 239 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: for the Seahawks then is standing in the background looking 240 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: like he smelled bad cheese. And it's a wonderful picture. 241 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: And that was the start of four consecutive wins to 242 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: end the OH nine season. And we talked about the 243 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: ending game against the Patriots anyway, that jumped out at me. 244 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: But we know they have been the heartbreaker right in 245 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen up there with Watson and Wilson going at it, 246 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: and of course the ultimate heartbreaker, one of the top 247 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: three most painful losses in the history of the franchise 248 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, Richard Sherman, That's all I have to say 249 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: about that, oh man. All right, Sunday, December nineteenth, four 250 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: days after my anniversary, get to return to the site 251 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: of my wedding at Jacksonville. Well, there have been so 252 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: many there, you know, Watson taking the bus was a 253 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: big one. Obviously, we'll never forget that. We'll never forget 254 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: Brock winning again there with ninety nine passing yards. Somehow, 255 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,359 Speaker 1: some way. It's not like you've always won in Jacksonville. 256 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: Thirteen was painful. That was the night that preceded the 257 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: day Kubiak was fired. Yeah, you know the Hail Mary 258 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: in twenty ten, but the vander moment. I'm going back 259 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: to year one. Okay. That was the first road win 260 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans, beating Jacksonville, and they had the trickery. 261 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: I believe it was Gaffney catching the punt and throwing 262 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: it to Aaron Glenn on a lateral and he ran 263 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: it into field goal range. They kicked the field goal 264 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, and they got out of there with a victory. 265 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: And I'll never forget that day coming back because we 266 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: had to switch planes because of plane trouble. Oh nobody minded. 267 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: It was like blissful traveling home with a victory year one, 268 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: So I'll go with that one. Yeah, it was kind 269 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: of like flying back from London in some sense. It 270 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: was blissful. How about this one though, from Jacksonville in 271 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: OH six, Kubiak getting the win with Sage Rosenfelds in 272 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: the game. Why was he in the game? Did car 273 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: gets shaken up or something? But he went forward I'm 274 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: fourth down in his own territory to east the game 275 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: and I'll never forget that because he never did anything 276 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: like that. Again. Carrie's listening right now. He's like, Yep, 277 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: you're right, I didn't, but that was really cool at 278 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: the time. Sunday, December twenty six and day after Christmas, 279 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: the LA Chargers come to town for Deep Steel Sunday 280 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: presented by Hunt Day. Your vander moment this one, actually, 281 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: I think one of the two Vanner moments, either one 282 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: comes from California, but that's okay. I think you're right 283 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: because it would be the Monday Night er or the 284 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: second part of the double header in twenty thirteen when 285 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: Cushing out the pick six and they're down twenty eight 286 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: to seven and they roar back to win the game. 287 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't even an overtime. They got a late field 288 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: goal to win that contest. Randy Bullet kicked it right, Yeah, 289 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: Randy Bullet kicked it. To me, it's either that one 290 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: or twenty nineteen when we played him in LA. It 291 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: was cool because I don't think they were nakeds. We 292 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: haven't beaten them at home. I don't think so. And 293 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: there have been some rough Days twenty ten, Rough Day 294 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, Rough Parage two thousand and four Drew Brees 295 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: and the Chargers and the lights go out in the 296 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: second half, just total power failure, just for a few seconds, 297 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: but it was weird. Lights came back on. Lost the 298 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: opener of the season in two thousand and four, Drew Brees. 299 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: The rest is history. Okay, this one, boy, I don't know. 300 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: Maybe there is one Sunday January second week seventeen at 301 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: San Francisco. Is there is there one? Look, you lost 302 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: to them, Oh my gosh, I mean it's Candlestick Park 303 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: at oh five lost the Reggie Bush Bowl January first, right, 304 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen was the next time they went there. They 305 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: lost that one on Sunday night, football Shop pick six 306 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: to open the game. It was a nightmare. It was 307 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: a total nightmare, Johnny. That followed up the Seattle game. 308 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: So that is nightmarish days out there. Now you go 309 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: back there for the first time. It's only the third 310 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: trip to San Francisco and the history of the franchise 311 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: this yeah, yeah, I mean you're beating them at home. 312 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: You've been able to do that. I mean, oh nine, 313 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: you had a victory over the Mike Singletary coached forty 314 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 1: nine ers. Alex Smith in the second half, came off 315 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: the bench to throw three touchdown passes ulta Vernon Davis, 316 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: I believe, but they lost. The forty nine ers lost 317 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: the game that day. Texans got that victory. And yeah, 318 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just not a whole lot there with 319 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, but you have so much history 320 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: with the two staffs and everything like that, So I 321 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: think that's gonna be a cool one to go out 322 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: there and play there. And I'll never forget the preseason. 323 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: Was it the opener in twenty sixteen. Yeah, we went 324 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: out there for a few days for practice. Yeah, and 325 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: the practices look good. You know. That's another thing, Brock 326 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: in those practices with the forty nine ers looking real good. Great. 327 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: I remember we're thinking, oh, this is it. It's coming 328 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: around now, it's starting to come around. And and you 329 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: won that preseason game.

DB's faces after they gave up a deep 335 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 1: ball to Will Fuller. I'll never forget it. They looked 336 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: at each other like what just happened? And you know 337 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: will Will just kind of jog flip the ball to 338 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: the coach and just kept on going. And they were 339 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: looking at each other and I'll let free there right 340 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: next to me, and I saw this look of oh 341 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: my god, that guy's fast. I mean, it was just 342 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: it was hilarious and leads me to week eighteen Sunday, 343 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: January ninth, Fan Appreciation Day presented by Verizon against the 344 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. What stands out to me about the Titans? 345 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: I would say the massive blowout was fifty seven to thirteen, Yeah, 346 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: I think, yeah against the Titans in two seventeen, that 347 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: stands out. There have been many though, look, oh four, 348 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: here's the thing. It took them a while to beat 349 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: the Titans, but an O four they swept them. And 350 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: one of the victories was here Steve McNair and it 351 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: was a bizarre thing and it was seven to nine. 352 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: In two thousand and four, the Texans did and they 353 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: had two victories over the Tennessee Titans. Those stand out 354 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: that it's a weird series with the Titans because you've 355 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: had a few games where a team's totally out of 356 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: it week seventeen, or the other team doesn't really need 357 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: it now. The Titans needed it last year, but the 358 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: Texans have played the Titans like two or three times 359 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: in the last day of the season and not needed 360 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: the game. So it's it's kind of a strange series. 361 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: But look, they are arrival as a division team and 362 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: a lot of memories, many of them up there. Of course, 363 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: I will give you my Harris moments and it includes you, 364 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: Mark Vandemer twenty eighteen. Oh of course, what am I saying? Yeah, 365 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: Lamar Miller to the house, That one's for you, Bob. 366 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: Every time I hear that clip and I see that play, 367 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: I think of you. I think of Bob, and I 368 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: just think of that night and how just magical it was, 369 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: so sure you know it is. And I almost don't 370 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: even think of the opponent for that, and I should 371 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: because somebody the other day was saying, what's the best 372 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: call you've ever made? And I thought, well, you're the 373 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: best moment, now the best call, And I think that's 374 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: the best call I've ever made. And because I just 375 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: I felt it, you know what I mean. It was 376 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: bomb and it was the memory and it was the 377 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, they Texans provided that incredible moment as a 378 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: ninety seven yard touchdown run. So you hope you're ready 379 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: for it, and so it might be my favorite. And uh, 380 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: that night was so special to be able to beat 381 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: that team, the former Oilers, on a night where we 382 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: celebrate the life of mister McNair. Uh, that's unforgettable. Yeah, 383 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: I just I forget about the Titans sometimes that they 384 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: were the opponent, but that makes it extra special. That's 385 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: absolutely Now. The week before that against the Washington football team, 386 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: Justin Reid took one one hundred one yards to the house. 387 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: Drew Dorty is gonna stop by. We're gonna discuss Justin 388 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: Reid and soccer next right here on Texas All Access 389 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: Access Access. Welcome back everybody this Wednesday edition of Texas 390 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: All Access from Non Day Texans Radio studio. I'm eros 391 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: John Harris, football ana cyline reporter. It's time to talk 392 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: about safeties and soccer. Yeah, let you listen to how 393 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: we put these two together. Drew Dorty and myself on 394 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: in the lab this week. I enjoy soccer from time 395 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: to time, and I'm going to pretend I'm like the 396 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: biggest fan and know everything I don't. I don't, But 397 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: I love me some Euros, which is going on right now. 398 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: I love me the World Cup, so in June around 399 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: the office every two years here. It's been fun going 400 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: back to twenty ten when the World Cup was going 401 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: on in USA. We're pretty deep, but I love soccer. 402 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: I think you like soccer to a degree, right, you know. 403 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: It's interesting when I was first in coaching my best player, 404 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: one of my favorite players I ever coached. He's got 405 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: to be a great friend. I mean, he's like my 406 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: little brother in some sense. He was my star tailback 407 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: and linebacker secondarily whatever I need him to be. I mean, 408 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: he was just a phenomenal player, but he was also 409 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: a great soccer player. And I used to, I mean, 410 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: I used to just give him the business about soccer 411 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: because he would come practice with us for two hours 412 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: and fifteen minutes or so, getting a car as Dad 413 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: would take him across Jacksonville, and then he'd go play 414 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: club soccer that night. And I just couldn't understand how 415 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: he could do it. The shaping must have been in 416 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: not to interrupt, but the shape he must have been 417 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: needed to do that, it was incredible, It was unbelievable. 418 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: And I just finally got to the point where I 419 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: was like, I just looked him and said, because if 420 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: I pushed him, he probably would have gone soccer because 421 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: he ended up playing at Furman for a team. He 422 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: was a captain for a team that ended up at 423 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: one point third in the country. Yeah, so yeah, I 424 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: mean Clint Dempsey played there. Clint Densey was a junior 425 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: senior when you Depsy's a young guy when Andy was 426 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: a senior. So they had they've had some players there 427 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: and so he was a great soccer But I used 428 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: to just rip him about soccer and back then couldn't 429 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: have cared less, could not have cared less about soccer. 430 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: But as you are on Twitter, you start seeing, you know, 431 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: people talking about Premier League and you're like, what is 432 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: this Premier League? Like what is going on? And then 433 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: trying to figure out like what are they talking about 434 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: in late May with like I thought Premier League was over? 435 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: Why are they talking about this Liverpool comeback? Like what's 436 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: going I couldn't figure out Champions League any of that. 437 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: So then I watched a documentary on Manchester City All 438 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: or Nothing. They do the NFL one, and so you 439 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna watch a soccer one. I'm gonna 440 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: give it an episode and see if I like it. 441 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: I fell in love with it within five minutes. Manchester 442 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: City became my team. I love Pep Guardiola. And then 443 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: I started paying more attention to the Premier League, and 444 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: then I figured out the whole Champions League thing, so 445 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: I've become a much much bigger soccer fan. Like I 446 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: I texted Andy, I'd tell his name is Andy. I 447 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: texted Andy and I said, can you believe that your 448 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: old coach is sitting down and watching every single second 449 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: of the Champions League final? He texted back, just laughing, 450 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: like times have changed? So yeah, I could sit down 451 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: and watch Premier League, Champions League Europa, I mean Euros. 452 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: I mean it's I can watch it all now, whereas 453 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: before you know and I can know players like I 454 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: just said.

I've got it where I 488 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: love Premier League soccer. I followed some of the international 489 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: soccer and other areas you know, League One, La Legua, etc. 490 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,479 Speaker 1: So yeah, I've really kind of turned the corner as 491 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: it pertains to soccer. Yeah. I studied in Madrid in 492 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight and that team in Real Madrid that 493 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: year they went on to win the Champions League. It's 494 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: the first time they won it since the sixties. Plus 495 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: Atletico Madrid they had this guy named Christian Vieri who 496 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: led the league in scoring. He had like thirty goals 497 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: on us he was he was pouring them in. So 498 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: I was there a real fun time and that got 499 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 1: me hooked on soccer. To a too larger extent than 500 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: I had been before. But why are these two buzzas 501 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: yammering on about soccer? They worked in the Houston Texans. Well, 502 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: the Texans have a safety Justin Reid. He's one of 503 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: the more notable names on the roster right now and 504 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: had a promising start to his career. Like everybody else 505 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: on this team, last season saw his sheriff struggles. But 506 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: he's invigorated, he's excited, he's pumped for next year. He 507 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: also has a great soccer background and he played it 508 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: all the way up I think in high school and 509 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: when we were at the Greenbar a few years ago, 510 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: he was screwing around with a soccer ball and juggling 511 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: it and he's really good at it. So I thought, 512 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: let's talk about this guy because I kind of think 513 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: he's in line to certainly play better than last year 514 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: and really excel. It looks like this defense is something 515 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: you know, he can really excel in because there's a 516 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: lot of stuff working in his favor. A just simply 517 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: it's he had a bad year last year, you can 518 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: improve b His safety's coach, Greg Jackson is a guy 519 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,239 Speaker 1: who coached his big brother Eric Reid and Jackson had 520 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: some really interesting things to say last week when he 521 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: went with the media, said, you know, Justin reminds him 522 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: a lot of Eric and the way he processes information stuff. 523 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: He said, Justin's a lot faster though as far as 524 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,479 Speaker 1: speed on the field, and Eric is kind of an 525 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: old school safety, whereas Justin is a new school, hybrid 526 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: type of safety. And he thinks, uh, you know, he 527 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: thinks Justin can can do great, great things as far 528 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: as a leader in this defense. And Justin has been 529 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,479 Speaker 1: very upfront, you know, and talking about Lovey Smith's defense. 530 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: You know, hey, it's gonna give us a chance to 531 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: make plays, to get turnovers, and you know, I can't 532 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: wait to see what happens. And I knew you were 533 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: the perfect guy to talk to about this because you 534 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: played the position. We both have a good relationship with 535 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: Justin and I cannot wait to see what he can 536 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: do because you know, you know, last year is not 537 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: representative of who he is as a player. Probably I 538 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: think you know, this team would probably say it's not 539 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: representative of who they are as a team. But you know, 540 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: he's aiming and after some bigger and better things in 541 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one on no doubt. And it's interesting you 542 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: bring up soccer, because if if parents came to me 543 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: and said, look, we'd like our we'd like our kid 544 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: to be a football player down the road, how should 545 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: we do it? I would tell them go play flag 546 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: football all the way through, maybe maybe junior high maybe 547 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: maybe you know, at least seventh grade. And if you 548 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: have a good junior fight football team, that's when you 549 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: start playing tackle. That's fine. But play flag football and 550 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: play soccer, because flag football is going to get you 551 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: to a spot where I played flag football after I 552 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: played tackle football. And I bring all this up, especially 553 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: at the safety position, because I thought playing flag football 554 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: was way harder than playing tackle football, where I had 555 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: to be to be able to make a tackle athletically, 556 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: the position I had to be in to pull a flag, 557 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: the hand eye coordination to track the hip where the 558 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: flag was was so incredibly hard. And I think that's 559 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: playing flag football is massive. You do this as young kid, 560 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: I think it helps you. I think playing soccer is 561 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: massive defeat the dexterity one on one abilities to match 562 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: a mirror, especially playing defensive back. I think those two sports. 563 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, play as many sports as 564 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: you can, but I think soccer and flag football will 565 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: really help guys playing safety. Now, Oh but wait, safety, 566 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: you gotta come up and hit and do all that 567 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: look you can. That's something that you can acquire, you 568 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: can learn, and it really just becomes, you know, kind 569 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: of guts, like do you want to become a physical hitter, etc. 570 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: But the feat being a position, hip movement, all that 571 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I think you learn it without a 572 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: doubt in soccer and flag football, then start picking up 573 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: tackle football once you get into seventh, eighth grade and beyond. 574 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: For Justin, I think it's really paid off because over 575 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: the years he's understood how he can be a box 576 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: guy when he has to move down into box, play 577 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: the run, how he fits in the run scheme. It's 578 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: gonna be interesting now with the change in scheme how 579 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: that changes. But you also you also know, if you 580 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: love me Smith, hey, this guy's done it. Before he's 581 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: gone down in that box. He's taken on you know, fullbacks, 582 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: h backs, tight ends and played off of them to 583 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: go make tackles. I think if there's anything from last 584 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: year that really stood out to me, and it wasn't 585 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: just Justin. But I thought across the board, I thought 586 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: our tackling stunk, and that's one thing that's really got 587 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: to get better. But that isn't just going out and 588 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: hitting a bunch of trees and oh, I've got to 589 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: hit the big heavy bag. No, it's it really is 590 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: about feet. It's about intelligence. It's about reading and deciphering 591 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: plays and blocking schemes. It's all those kind of things, 592 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: and then it's just finishing the tackle. And the finish 593 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: is maybe the hardest part, and a lot of that 594 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: can come that comes kind of from flag football, the finish. 595 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,959 Speaker 1: And there were a lot of times guys didn't finish tackles. 596 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: And I know Justin will tell you because he was 597 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: kind of raked over the coals for it against Cleveland 598 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: last year, the run of Nick Chubb down the sideline 599 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: that essentially ended that game. He really took that to heart, 600 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: like he had made that mistake. Look, he could have 601 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: made the tackle, sure, and everybody misses one. There's no doubt. 602 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: There was a lot of non help along the way, 603 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: if you will, that particular day and a lot of 604 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: days against the run. But because Justin has such great feat, 605 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: he has the ability to cover. He has the ability 606 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: to cover tight ends. He has the ability to cover 607 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,959 Speaker 1: guys in this slot. I'm curious to see how this 608 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: scheme manifests itself for safeties, because you know, if Coach 609 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: Smith decides that, you know, we want to stay with 610 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: our seven, you know, seven man front, our four down 611 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: and three linebackers, you know, safeties may not be as 612 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: involved in run defense, so they can focus a little 613 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: bit more on pass coverage. They will truly be secondary contained. 614 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: There will be some opportunities when you get to nickel 615 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: and dime where you have to be primary contained as 616 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: a safety or as a star the nickel basically. So 617 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: Justin's a guy that could do all of that, I 618 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing. And we know that Justin has 619 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: every physical tool. We know mentally he's as sharp as 620 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: it gets. We know from a leadership standpoint, guys follow him. 621 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: We've seen all that before, but last year I don't 622 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: know that that crew on that side of the ball 623 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: was really ready, able and willing to do all of 624 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: that across the board. That's going to put obviously some 625 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: more onus on Justin to be able to get that 626 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: out of guys this year. But I think there are 627 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: enough vets that have been around that are going to 628 00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: be able to foster that across the board, Like, hey, 629 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: you should be listening to him. Hey, young dude, that's 630 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: a guy you should listen to. Look how successful he's been. 631 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: I think Justin having a better year, and obviously everybody 632 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: so well, Le's contract year and whatever. Yeah, Like I 633 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: get all that. I get that. I've never been struck 634 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: by Justin Reid. That he is motivated other by anything 635 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: other than the team's success. And how much better he 636 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: improves as a player every single day, every single minute. 637 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: That's to me what drives him. And oh, by the way, yeah, 638 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: the results are he's a really good player and he's 639 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: gonna get paid. To me, he is more concerned about 640 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: how does he take care of his body, how does 641 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: he make himself better for the team, how does he 642 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: make himself a better player that can help the team 643 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 1: get wins, etc. So that to me is what I 644 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: love about Justin. But one final thing about that thing 645 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: at Cleveland, I love the edge that he has. He 646 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: plays with an edge like there's like there's this idea 647 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: the right way of saying this not an idea there 648 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: his thought is he's the baddest mofo on that field, 649 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: and I like that. I like that. Now he's not 650 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: going to tell you that, but you can see in 651 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: the way he plays, you can see the way he 652 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: carries himself. He's the baddest man on that field. And 653 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. I'm cool with that. And if 654 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: that permeates the entire defense, that rock on. But I 655 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: think one thing that I heard UM coach Jackson say, 656 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: and I can't remember if he said this about Lonnie 657 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: or Justin, but Justin was asked to do a lot 658 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: the first three years, I mean a lot, very much, right, 659 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: he says like this, This is a much simpler defense 660 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: in that regard, which and from that perspective, Drew, we 661 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: all know, like as soon as you have down, I mean, 662 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: how many TV shows have you done? I mean, you 663 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: could do a TV show in your sleep, man, because 664 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: you've done it so often and throw up that time. 665 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: You have learned how the little you know, the nuanced 666 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: things to make you, you know, the best TV reporter, 667 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: the best TV hoster. Is like, you've learned all that. 668 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: I think Justin has done it at safety, but he's 669 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: asked to do so much. If now he can just 670 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: focus on being a true safety. I think that is 671 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: going to make him an even more effective piece. And 672 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: then once you get to the subpackaged stuff that you 673 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: can figure out what his role is clearly going to 674 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 1: be in, maybe you find one kind of like you know, Anthony, 675 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 1: we were found last year with Justin. I remember the 676 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: game after the Browns game was the Patriots game, and 677 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: he was phenomenal in that game because he blitzed a little, 678 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 1: he dropped the coverage a little, and he did a 679 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: little bit of everything in that game and it really 680 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: it really showed, it really paid off. And that's the 681 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: Justin Reid hopefully we're gonna be able to see for 682 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: seventeen games plus this year. It's hard to imagine Justin 683 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: Reid going into his fourth season already it feels like 684 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 1: he just got here. But he is going to be 685 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: a key piece for this defense in twenty one, no 686 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 1: questions about it, with all that he can provide, playing 687 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 1: the run, playing in coverage, playing man, blitzing, all different 688 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: things he can do, and when he is healthy, he 689 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: can be a game changer for this d and for 690 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: Lovey Smith this year. So looking forward to that, all right, 691 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: We're going around the NFL and some new protocols have 692 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: come down and we're going back to twenty nineteen, baby, 693 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: and that's a good thing. Next not TEXANSO Access of 694 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: TEXANSO Access of TEXANSO Access. We got one final segment 695 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: of this edition of Texans All Access from Monday, Texans 696 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: Radio Studio. I am John Harris, your host, So glad 697 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 1: to be with your football analyst, sidelot of reporter and 698 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 1: f V fully vaccinated. Which leads me and why I 699 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: brought it up to today's news coming from the NFL 700 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 1: and the nfl PA. These two groups have agreed upon 701 00:37:53,680 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen protocols for training camps and preseason games. This 702 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:06,320 Speaker 1: is enormous. Now being f V fully vaccinated is huge. 703 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: Here's why. For those fully vaccinated, there's gonna be no 704 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: daily testing, no face coverings, and you know, and that 705 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: whether it's team travel or not. Now we're going to 706 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: Green Bay, we're going to Dallas, and then Tampa Bay 707 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: comes here for the three preseason games. But you're essentially 708 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: back to I don't want to say all the way 709 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,760 Speaker 1: back to normal, but you're kind of back to twenty nineteen, 710 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: which is cool for those that aren't, including players, they 711 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: are prohibited from gathering outside club facilities or team travel. 712 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: NFL players who are not fully vaccinated will be barred 713 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,720 Speaker 1: from going to nightclubs, bars, house parties, concerts, etc. Failure 714 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: to follow protocols can result and finds a fifty grand 715 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: for a first offense. One difference that could be a 716 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: pretty big deal is that fully vaccinated individuals who have 717 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 1: been exposed to coronavirus positive people will not be labeled 718 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 1: to high risk close context, so would not be subject 719 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: to a mandatory five isolation. Not vaccinated, MIT's go in 720 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: the other direction if you will. So you're not gonna 721 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 1: for you know, those that are fully vaccinated, you're gonna 722 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: see a lot of things that appear normal or a 723 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: whole heck of a lot different than twenty twenty. A 724 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: lot of us also has to do with us in 725 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: the media, and for us, this isn't one of those 726 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: ad we get to do this, you don't know. This 727 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: is one of those things where we get to interview 728 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: players face to face, do in person interviews and then 729 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 1: bring those to you. And we do that a lot 730 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,280 Speaker 1: of a lot of that here on Texas All Access, 731 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: and we hope you enjoy that. And that's I don't 732 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: want to say, you know, perk of the job, but 733 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of nice to do in person interviews and 734 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: NFL players and you know, project the message out to 735 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 1: you guys. That will be able to happen again this year. 736 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: Now we'll have to stay socially distant, etc. But that's 737 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: a good thing. One other aspect that impacts you the fans. 738 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: The fans can attend training camps. They will be allowed 739 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: to attend training camps the caveat. They must be more 740 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: than twenty feet away from Tier one staff including players, 741 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: and adhere to physical distancing. So yes, it's not totally 742 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: perfect on that realm, not all the way they're just 743 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: yet with the fans, but pretty darn close at least 744 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: through the preseason. And the thought is most places, and 745 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: I know we've talked about that here, it will be 746 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: one hundred percent capacity in the stadium, but the fans 747 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: are removed obviously from the players up in the stands, etc. 748 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 1: My hope is that I'm not in my moat, that 749 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: I actually can be on the sidelines, And it looks 750 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: like we're headed in that direction for twenty twenty one, 751 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 1: but there will be an opportunity for fans to be 752 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,879 Speaker 1: at practices as long as they're twenty feet away, which 753 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: the way the Texans have training camp set up, I 754 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:12,399 Speaker 1: think that's going to be absolutely and completely possible. Now, 755 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: it might change a few of the configurations, but I'll 756 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 1: tell you this, one of the things that I really 757 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,959 Speaker 1: really missed last year in training camp. And I didn't 758 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 1: think I would really feel this way too much because 759 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 1: it's so chaotic a training camp. I kind of felt like, hey, 760 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: you know, fans, we'll survive. It was almost naked with 761 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 1: no fans. I mean there have been so many times 762 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: where I've been watching something on one field and i 763 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: hear the cheers from the other field and I'm like, oh, 764 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: what's going on? It just it adds such a different 765 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: dimension to practice. I mean even at the Greenbrier there 766 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 1: there were small crowds when we were there, and that 767 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: was just enough to kind of give it some energy. 768 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: But when it's at home here in Houston and the 769 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: fans provide a onn of energy for those particular practices 770 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: and the fans are allowed back in twenty twenty one, 771 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: the caveat being twenty feet away, but I think we 772 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: can get there on that point. Being being fully vaccinated 773 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL world is a good thing and allowing 774 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 1: those players, staff, you know, people like me and others 775 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 1: to kind of go about their business as we had 776 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: been going about it twenty nineteen and prior to going 777 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,439 Speaker 1: a road we got to eat in stead of staying 778 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: in our hotel room doing those kind of things. And 779 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,919 Speaker 1: you look, I know, you know, John, you can miss 780 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 1: me with that whole travel thing. And just whenever you're 781 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: used to something and then it changes, it's a little different, 782 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 1: and hopefully we can get close to normal being fully vaccinated. 783 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: So or imagine the league with these protocols and the 784 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: NFLPA essentially saying you can not vaccinated, get going, get 785 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 1: it done. Hopefully, players, staff and fans will get that 786 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 1: done before we get a training camp in late July. 787 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: And big thanks to Mark, to Drew, to all of 788 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,279 Speaker 1: you for listening, Joanna for producing. You guys are the best. 789 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow. As always, Go Texas.
