11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: they'll be back for practice though. You know it. I said,

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: hockey line change as we change broadcast teams during our

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: Texas Training Camp coverage. Here they're out, We're in and

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: Landry and Lopez up at ten o'clock. And I said,

15
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: hockey line change could be polo horse change if you're

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: disposed to h or you know so, so if you polo,

17
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: there's polo in Houston. I guess I've I've watched it once.

18
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: It's very impressive. I've yeah, I've seen it. It's sover

19
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: near somewhere and it's very cool to watch. Actually, they

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: would eat up this field pretty quickly. The players have

21
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: been using Field one, which is a brand new field

22
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: by the way. They replaced it during OTA's and got

23
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: it ready for training camp, and they've been enjoying Field

24
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: one here. Seth was talking about how magnificent these fields

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: have been over the years. And the heat is always

26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: a factor here at training camp. I know, you kind

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: of get sick of us talking about it, you know,

28
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: when you really were sick of us talking about the weather.

29
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: We heard from members of Texans Brass. Can you guys

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: shut up about the weather, please? No more weather. Yeah,

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: don't talk about the weather because people are just aching

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: in the heat in Houston. But anyway, Day three, and

33
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: the players are not on the field yet, some of

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: them in the bubble, some of them getting ready for

35
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: a meeting back at the stadium which is across Kirby,

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: of course, and they've been meeting every morning, the training

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: camp routine. I'm kind of getting used to it, Johnny,

38
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: kind of getting used to it by now. What they're doing.

39
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: How David college Nick as Sarrio, how they want to

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: operate this training camp. But we're ready to go. Day three,

41
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: another one and they'll get it to pads on Monday.

42
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: Sundays off. By the way, tomorrow they're on We're not

43
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: on the air tomorrow, but plenty of coverage on Houston

44
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: Texas dot Com and we'll do the live show before practice.

45
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: I used to say when I was in college, the

46
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: worst part of training camp actually wasn't the two practices,

47
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: because we're working to day two days. I mean, those

48
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: those practices were, I mean, look, they got rough, but

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: the worst part about the two days in training camp

50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: was the meetings. Oh yeah, you'd have to fall asleep.

51
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean you did everything to try not to. Yeah,

52
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: and that was that was the hard part. But the

53
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: way things are now, meetings, meetings are a little bit shorter.

54
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: They're just there's more activity. There's activation over here. Then

55
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: they go back over they get ready, and then they

56
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: come out for practice and they go back in. Yeah.

57
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, I wouldn't it more physical, but a

58
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: different kind of physical, like and let's say aerobic, but um,

59
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: just they're doing more, just not on the field doing that.

60
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: And I thought, I can't remember who said, Maybe it

61
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: was Kami, maybe it was John Weeks. I think it

62
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: was Weeks that he was talking to us about the

63
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: use of the walk through room. That's what I was

64
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: gonna bring up. That's a man about physical like moving around.

65
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: They say young boys in school, like like vander Kid

66
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: two's age, are better off if they're moving around a

67
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: little bit. I think that might be true of almost everybody. Yeah,

68
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: no doubt, especially these these millennial well these yeah, and

69
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: so we're younger. What used to be an hour and

70
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: a half meeting in a classroom, sitting around a room

71
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: that gets way too hot because you got just nothing

72
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: but dudes in there and their conditioning isn't working. You

73
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: sit there for ninety minutes and you're doing everything you

74
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: can't to stay awake. You go in there for twenty

75
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: five minutes to thirty minutes of a cerebral meeting. You

76
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: put it up on the board and it's like, all r,

77
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: let's go walk it through and to walk through room.

78
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: I would have given anything for that, anything that they know.

79
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: Remember when Cliff Kingsbury said we're gonna take cell phone

80
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: breaks and it was, oh my gosh, what a story.

81
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: And I was listening to the podcast You recommended that

82
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: Fly Coach with Sean mcvain. He had Kingsbury on and

83
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: they brought that up. And now that seems so normal, right,

84
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: and that was only a couple of years ago. I

85
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: guess yeah, I think it was a good idea, and

86
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: it is a good idea because look, if I don't

87
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: give Vander kid one, he's fifteen years old, a phone

88
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: break every now and then, he's gonna lose his mind. Forget.

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: They just that's just part of life right now. Meetings

90
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: have to be shorter, things have to be more physical.

91
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to art so much as just to

92
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: like a football physical thing. They're not going through You're

93
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: not going out there and banging for two hours and

94
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes like the old heads used to. But it

95
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: was interesting because Kingsbury became the coach in twenty nineteen. Yeah,

96
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: it's a little over two years ago that that was

97
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: sort of instituted. And look, there were coaches before that

98
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: they were doing that. There are a lot of coaches

99
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: that were doing it in different ways. But I think

100
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: it's probably built in. I think there are probably more

101
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: things you're doing in a day, if you think about it.

102
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: We would have morning meeting practice, afternoon meeting practice, evening meeting.

103
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: So that's what six things yeah, Now you might do

104
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: twelve things, but none of them are any longer than

105
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: a half hour than practice, because you're only having won practice,

106
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: so you go a little bit longer with the practice.

107
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 1: But everything else is thirty minutes here, twenty minutes here.

108
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: Meeting is no more than half an hour. Team meeting

109
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: is going to be no more than twenty five minutes.

110
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: I mean you just in training camp those things to

111
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: keep it fresh and keep it moving, to keep guys

112
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: thinking on different levels and thinking about different things, making

113
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: sure it's sharp. And look, here's the other aspect. And

114
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: is you mentioned the phone? The iPads these guys can

115
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: take instead of taking a big old folder which just

116
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: the playbook, They can go home in an iPad or

117
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: to their hotel room or wherever, and they can watch

118
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: the day's practice. They can look at the play They

119
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,119
Speaker 1: can then do like an hour or more, however long,

120
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: to do a cerebral study of what they're supposed to

121
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: be doing, how they're doing it, looking at them themselves

122
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: at practice, kind of doing a self scout sort of thing.

123
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: Never we can ever do that. I mean, we could

124
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: watch practice film and that was it, and not even

125
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: the things that they can do so there's just so

126
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: many more things that you're able to do, especially with

127
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: technology now that I think help out so so much

128
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: for these guys. But look, it's still grind of It

129
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: is still when you're out there for three hours in

130
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: the sun in Houston in the summertime, it's definitely a grind.

131
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: And you have an advantage if you're up north and

132
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: the weather's alone dollars, there's no doubt about that. But

133
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: maybe this makes you tougher, I don't know, might break

134
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: you down at some point. We'll see how they handle it.

135
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: This camp goes on. It's only day three here and

136
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: John mcclean's gonna join us in a few moments to

137
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: talk about the stories of the day, his thoughts on

138
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: what he is observing. But right now let's get to

139
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: hot raids. Of course, the story around the country remains.

140
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: And I was on the air in Indianapolis yesterday Johnny

141
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: with Dan Dockage. He has me on the show every

142
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: once in a while, especially when the Texans meet up

143
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: with the Colts the week of But yeah, the questions

144
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: came up and everything, and I love that Seth cleared

145
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: up the Scout team's safety thing with the quarterback who

146
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: who had been mimicking that, like they all take turns

147
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: doing that. We've got over this material and we don't know.

148

00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: next one would involve Justin Brett, who played center for

156
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: Seattle and met with the media yesterday. And look the

157
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: old line. We've been talking about them a lot, a

158
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: lot of depth there. They had a couple of guys

159
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: start out this camp on pup. Will see how that goes.

160
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: Here's Brett on the old line. I think. I mean,

161
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: you look at LT he's obviously, you know, a generational

162
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: offensive line player, and you go down the line the

163
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: whole room, Like I said, UM, bring something to the

164
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: table that's special. Um, you know, I'm not perfect, no

165
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: one's perfect. But uh, like I said, we come to

166
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: work ready to get after it. And uh we're gonna

167
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna do what we can to take the team

168
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: where we wanted to go. Yeah, I don't if that

169
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: cut does Britt justice when you're around him, his presence,

170
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: the leader that he is, and he's someone that I

171
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: think we should be very glad is here to help

172
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: get this line to the next level, get them where

173
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: they need to go, because they want to pound the ball.

174
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: They want to run the ball with these backs and

175
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: do the best they can that way, do the play

176
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: action thing. We'll see how it all works out. But

177
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: Britt is a huge part of it. We're talking about

178
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: the defensive line throughout the off season, Mark and obviously

179
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: the start training camp. Just how they're built differently, just physically,

180
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: help built differently, justin Britt is built differently. Man. I've

181
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: stood next to him and I just kind of gawk

182
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: at him like man like thighs calves. Yes, I mean

183
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: it's massive, and because he has a wrestling background, you

184
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: can see that come through and how he moves, how

185
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: he passed protects, how he positions his body. He understands

186
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: that stuff. I was watching a pass rush drill and

187
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: there it's not as involved as it will be once

188
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: they put the pads on, but just watching everything that

189
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: he does over the years, you can start to see

190
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: the guys that were wrestlers that have that wrestling background,

191
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: and you can just see how he how he does things.

192
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: But man, he's a unit. I mean just his button

193
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: legs and thighs and ankles, everything's thick. And I'm like, yes, yes,

194
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: hopefully that results in moving guys off the ball this

195
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: year on the interior, boy, I was hoping we were

196
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: done with that draft. Talk of men's bodies in this way,

197
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: the ankles and thighs and never mind, let's get to

198
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: the final hot read here, which involves the running back position.

199
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay met with the media, and I think it

200
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: was great for the media. They've seen him before, obviously,

201
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: but to see him in person, to get a glimpse

202
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: and a taste of his energy what he brings to

203
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: the table. That way he was on with Landry and Lopez,

204
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: he probably heard a bunch of those cuts. But he

205
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: did mention this yesterday about how it feels like almost

206
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: everybody on this team has something to prove. The chip

207
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: on the shoulder. That topic came up with Lindsay. Yeah,

208
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got a bunch of us. I think

209
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: about everybody coming here and for some reason they were

210
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: the scum bucket. I don't know what they got going

211
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: on in the media, but everybody has some to prove

212
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: because there's some great dudes in there. And also they're

213
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: really talented and they had played a lot of football,

214
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: and we just want to get getting on the same page.

215
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: And we're gonna do that over time and put some

216
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: games together and win a lot of games. That's our vote. Yeah,

217
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: I love him. I mean I love him already, Johnny,

218
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: and I love what he's doing out here in the

219
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: field and listening to him talking with the media or

220
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: whoever is fun stuff. We had him on Texans Radio

221
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: in the offseason, and we do have on Texans Radio

222
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: every morning during Texans training camp Live the General. John

223
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: mcclaimed from the Houston Chronicle, Good morning, General House, it

224
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: going with you and with you and your loved ones.

225
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: I should say, it's always going great for me. This

226
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: team is a misfits. They left teams that didn't want

227
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: him anymore. Justin Bread extremely tall for a center six six,

228
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, that's why it's so weird for him to

229
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: be a wrestler that size. You don't see many six

230
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: six centers, and he was wanted. Philip Lindsay wasn't wanted,

231
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Malite Collins. Most of the players here other than the

232
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: draft choice were not wanted, so they should come in

233
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: motivated with a big chip on their shoulder. Not to mention,

234
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: most of them run one and two year contracts, which

235
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: means they have a chance to get paid either by

236
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: the Texans or another team, or get extended by the Texans.

237
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: So they got a lot of motivation, pride, and money.

238
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: And that's why I can't wait to see who among

239
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: these players emerges and people go, wow, man, that guy

240
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: can play, and there will be something like that. John.

241
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: Do you think Philip Lindsay was correct? Do you think

242
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: the media thinks that. I mean that we can all read,

243
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: we can all listen. But you think he's off based

244
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: with anything that he had to say, or do you

245
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: think he's on point with anything you had to say? Well,

246
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: I don't know what he meant. Scumbucket. I haven't read

247
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: that you since junior high and you ever call anybody

248
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: scumbucket instead of income scollum comes scum bag, but not

249
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: in the media. The income poop's not nearly as bad

250
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: is that the thing is everybody's picking up to be

251
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: the worst team in the league. People think they have

252
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: the worst roster in the league. So they're aware of that.

253
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure they talk about it. One thing.

254
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: One thing that I'm really interested in going back to

255
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: Justin britt and he started for what five and a

256
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: half years for the Seahawks, blew out his knee. Instead

257
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: of giving him a chance to rehab, they let him go,

258
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: and he was very bitter about that, and he's made

259
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: no bones about it. And I've talked to people up

260
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: there in the organization who covered the team talking about

261
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: he was a really good player, a great leader, great

262
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: guy in the locker room, and you wonder why they

263
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: didn't him a chance to rehab. But now he has,

264
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he's got a lot to prove, and he's

265
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: highly motivated, as are most of the players who are

266
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: new to this team. And James Camping being the new

267
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: line coach. Mike definitely been what six years, seven years,

268
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: something like six years, and so I'm eager to see

269
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: what James Camping can with this group. If you think

270
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: about not new, not many coaches go to a four

271
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: twelve team, and then eric two tackles who were first

272
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: round picks like Laramie Tunsel and Titus Howard. Justin Brid's

273
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: clearly the center. I think we'd all like to see

274
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: Max Sharping nail down that left guard job that he

275
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: had most of the last two years. And then Rulane Taylor,

276
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: who's not ready to play at right guard, played for

277
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: Camping for years with the Packers. Max, what's Justin McCrae.

278
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: You know, he came from where Atlanta, so they got

279
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: a lot of possibilities. They got a lot of flexibilities.

280
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: But the main thing I want to see is how

281
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: do they react to the coaching of James Camping, And

282
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: right away he has an advantage in the fact they're

283
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: going to run the ball a lot more. That's what

284
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: I wrote about today, the renewed emphasis on the running game,

285
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: which is music to alignman's ears. John, It's funny you

286
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: mentioned that not maybe four and twelve teams would have

287
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: that coming back, And I'm thinking about the disastrous seasons

288
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: that have occurred in the last decade. When you look

289
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: at the four and twelve, when you look at the

290
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: two and fourteen in twenty and thirteen, when you look

291
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: at the four and twelve in twenty seventeen. Look, you

292
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: are what your record says you are. I mean, they

293
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: lost those games, but they had a lot more talent

294
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: than those records would indicate all three of those years

295
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: that I just brought up, So it's interesting to point

296
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: that out. However, the roster has been so flipped here, John,

297
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: and I was listening to Clint Sterner on the morning

298
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: program of Seth and Sean Paynon Pendergast as it would go,

299
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: he was mentioned at Davis Mills the reps he's getting.

300
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: Are the coaches look watch it aside here we know

301
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: that's a completely different story, But are the coaches, in

302
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: your opinion, looking at Davis Mills thinking I'd like to

303
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: see a little bit more of that. What do you

304
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: think of what you've seen out of Davis Mills so far? Well,

305
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: he and Jeff Dresco been rotating with a second and

306
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: the thirds, and that's the way it should be because

307
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: they eat. To me, I wrote this an offseason and

308
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, there's not a more important player

309
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: on this roster than Davis Mills because of the impact

310
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: he can have on the future of this team. Not

311
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: this season, at least not the first part. Well, there's

312
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: no there's no parts anymore. I was gonna say first

313
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: half for the first nine games till the bye week.

314
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: I've been saying all along that if he's ready mentally,

315
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: and I'm guessing he will be after nine games. And

316
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: i know you said whether they do it, they're five

317
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: and four. But he's got to play extensively because if

318
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: he can prove to Nickssario, of David Culley, Pet Hamilton

319
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: and Tim Kelly that he's the quarterback, the huge impact

320
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: that would have on the twenty twenty two draft. If

321
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: he can't, then they have to get a quarterback with

322
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: the first pick, unless they trade for one. A lot

323
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: of veterans get traded around, but I'm guessing it a

324
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: rebuilt Cassario would want a draft one. So for the team,

325
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: the future is not now. This is George Allen. The

326
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: future is of course the future. So they have to

327
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: know who they have or who they're gonna have to

328
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: get the most important position on the team. So I'm

329
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: don't not surprise at all. They're gonna want to see

330
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: him as much as possible in practice, preseason, maybe try

331
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: Taylor doesn't need as much time to get ready with

332
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: a new team because he's used to it, because he's

333
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: played with so many teams. Well, for some guys, the

334
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: future absolutely is right now. And one of those guys

335
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: you tweeted about yesterday, General, I saw your tweet, so

336
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: it got me thinking. And that's Collie Wearing. You're watching

337
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: him yesterday, What have you thought about? What the form

338
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: of water polo player? So only played four years of

339
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: football until he got here, and he hasn't played a

340
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: lot of football because the injuries, and thinks, what do

341
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: you think about him? Watching him yesterday? I would like

342
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: to see accurate weights on these guys. They've been working

343
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: their butts off for two years now, and we got

344
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: the weights they had when they came here. I'll guarantee you.

345
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: You know, first of all, anthony' all, Claire and Kaholly

346
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: Wearing look a lot alike. But I'll guarantee you Holly

347
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: Wearing doesn't wait two hundred fifty six pounds. He looks

348
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: like a tackle. He runs like a tight end. Every

349
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: time you watch him here, you go, my god, what

350
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: happens if he puts it all together, if he stays

351
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: healthy and in his third season he has the mental

352
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: part down. He could be unbelievable or he could be

353
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: out of work and somewhere else. Yeah, that's interesting to

354
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: point out. I mean, look, I saw him make some

355
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: really good catches yesterday. Yeah, he does every practice he does.

356
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: Remember two years ago August when we were in Green

357
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: Bay and he was just blowing away the packers and

358
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: they were in awe And and he can do that again.

359
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: And he's got a new staff, he's got a new

360
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: head coach, new GM. He's starting over. But it is

361
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: make or break, and there's a lot of competition at

362
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: that position. Yeah. I watched prevate Jordan yesterday and I've

363
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: been watching him for a couple of days. And I'll

364
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: tell you this, seeing him up close, he looks to

365
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: me way different than he looked at Miami, Like just

366
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: build wise, he looks thicker than I thought he was

367
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: coming here. There's a lot of talent at that position.

368
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: And yet John, every time you look up eighty eight,

369
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakins is catching the ball all over the field.

370
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: He's now there's another guy he's listed in his rookie

371
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: weight and I'll guarantee he's not. He's in the two

372
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: fifties and he can run last year of his contract.

373
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: He'll be highly motivated. I look for him to be

374
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: the starter. Don't know if they'll start two tight ends

375
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: like they did so much last year, or if it'll

376
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: be three wives. But I can't wait to see what

377
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakins and Due well. And I'll Claire is my

378
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: my impossible to ignore against my under the radar guy.

379
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: He's catching everything as well. And look, I know the

380
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: odds are long. You know when you talk about this group,

381
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: the tight end group you got Wearing, Look, that's potential.

382
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: You have Brevin Jordan who's drafted. But there's potential, right,

383
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: It's a lot of potential here. You gotta get Farrell

384
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: Brown back, and you have to have Aikens healthy. You

385
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: have to have those two guys healthy and anything else

386
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: you get after that. Okay, let's see how it works out.

387
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: See if you can fit them into the passing game.

388
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: Obviously you drafted Jordan, you have to drafted Wearing a

389
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. You want to see that stuff

390
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: work out, But you need to play. I mean, these

391
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 1: guys are your players that you can count on. Brown

392
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: and Aikins. You're gonna tap the keg of potential. You

393
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: have to tap that keg, but you also need you

394
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 1: need the meal, Johnny, you need the understructure. I understand.

395
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: But but if you're looking at it, guys talking about

396
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: keg and meal, Johnny, early to be talking about a keg.

397
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: Now we use food analogies and sometimes beverage analogies. Actually

398
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: a keg would be pretty good right now sitting there

399
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: in sign. Let me tell you, and it feels good

400
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: when you tap that keg right now, that it's gonna

401
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: be a tough cut. Where where else do you think

402
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough cut? John What else do

403
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: you think is a when you look at it, I

404
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: know one position and receive her. Well, yeah, that's the spot.

405
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't think the gate four running backs, they have

406
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: four veterans. Then that becomes a very tough Yeah, it's

407
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: very I think wide receivers will step up. They's signed

408
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: some guys that hadn't done much. But defensive line, um,

409
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: I don't think secondary will be that hard. Maybe outside linebacker,

410
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: but the defensive line, tight end, and who's gonna make

411
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: it a running back? To me your big questions, it'll

412
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: be tough cuts, you know, it's funny watching We were

413
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: talking about rookie tight end Brevin Jordan, another rookie Garrett

414
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: Wallow playing linebacker, and you know he doesn't look big

415
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: because he's not. That's and wearing the number thirty two

416
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: does not help Juther if you know, look, you could

417
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: be believed college were thirty two. That's gonna slim me

418
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: down the number. That that number appearance, it just does

419
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: things to you. But he's active out there and you

420
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: can see he's everything they talked about. He's a vocal,

421
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: he's a leader. He's got that that personality you're looking

422
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: for out there. The question is can he play. He's

423
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: got excuse me, he's got to play special teams big

424
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: time to start guests, for sure. It's got to be

425
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: like the Gillespia. Well, he wasn't a linebacker, but he's

426
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: got to be that kind of guy. He's gonna be

427
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: dealing cole Wellance. His performance on special teams will earn

428
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: him reps on defense at some point. But here's the

429
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: thing you mentioned, he's not not a big guy. We

430
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: have to start changing our perception of what we think

431
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: linebackers are smaller, faster, quaker than those three four guys

432
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: are done. But some of these guys look pretty big.

433
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, when you look at when you look

434
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: at Kirksey and Hewitt and those guys line up and Cuttingham,

435
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,719
Speaker 1: those guys aren't huge. But compared to Wallow, they just

436
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: looked at cutting him is the biggest linebacker on the team.

437
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: He wasn't even close. But he can run. If you're big.

438
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: If you're big, you better run. Zavian Collins going to

439
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: Arizona at two hundred and sixty pounds, that's fine, you're

440
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty pounds, but you better run into

441
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: four to six at a minimum, at a minimum, no doubt.

442
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: John with one linebacker coming back from last year and

443
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: everybody else knew and changing to a four three, does

444
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: linebacker appear to me? Linebacker fuels very intriguing just because

445
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: but there's so much new. How do you look at

446
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: the linebacker spots? Only two of them are gonna play

447
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: most of the time because of what they do in

448
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: the secondary, and Robbie Smith will have for lineman. To me,

449
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: the lineman, I think I'll write about them for tomorrow

450
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: or the most is the most intriguing put the position

451
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: on the team because they're all new. Will there be

452
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: any guys from last year who start against Jacksonville or

453
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: will they all come off the bench. Charles A. Menna who,

454
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock, the three converted outside linebackers they love, MALIEK.

455
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: Collins at tackle. MALIEK. Collins who played really well at Dallas,

456
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: went to the Raiders, didn't work out. Now he's here.

457
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: You know he's gonna be really good. I've said before

458
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: and I say it again. I believe Charles A. Mena,

459
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: who will be the best fit because he can play outside, inside,

460
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: either side, wherever they want him to play. And the

461
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: guy that we would I think all of us would

462
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: like to see me. The biggest jump is Ross Blacklock

463
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: in his second season. They invested a lot for him.

464
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: He will always be remembered, as will David Johnson for

465
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: being what they got from Arizona for DeAndre Hopkins. We'll

466
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: talk about a keg of potential. Yeah, Ross Blacklock is

467
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: the keg of potential. Yeah. Physically, I'm telling you yesterday

468
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: the past rush Drow. I watched the first rep he

469
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: tried to bull rush Max and I'm just like, dang it,

470
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: go do something. The second rep, the second rep and

471
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: just went right by the guard and I was like,

472
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: that's it. You did a better sound effect last I did.

473
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: What was it? I don't, I can't. It's kind of

474
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna work it from

475
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: the audio and we're using it as a high key

476
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: general You talked about what you're writing about. What are

477
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: you watching for today other than taking attendance at the

478
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: quarterback position. No, of course that's the most important position.

479
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to see him writing about Rod Taylor in

480
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: his quiet professionalism, and now he just shrugs off the

481
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: sh On Watson controversy and he's the quarterback. How much

482
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: everybody respects him. I go back. I watched every episode

483
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: of Hard Knocks and watched how much Anthony Lynn respected

484
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: him last year and his teammates, and he stepped in.

485
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: It's a seamless transition. He is the man until they decide.

486
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: You hope that he doesn't get hurt like he has

487
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: in his last two starting jobs. But I'm gonna focus

488
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: on him. There's something about the pass rush, the key

489
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: of the pass rush. And we put a podcast, we

490
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: put a TV snippets. We we're kind of like Houston

564

565
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,640

589
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: They have these things for the quarterback drills that are

590
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: not unlike the batting practice protectors that the batting practice

591
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: pitchers throw had been a made park or any other

592
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: baseball facility. You see them in home run derby and

593
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and the media sees them at batting practice.

594
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: And if the media is not going to batting practice,

595
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you doing? If you

596
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: cover baseball, you gotta go to batting practice every once

597
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: in a while. Show your face at batting practice. Media,

598
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: you can't not do it. Now. Maybe they have protocols though,

599
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: maybe they're not allowed down there this year, but I

600
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: think they are. They are. I think I've seen enough.

601
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: I think I've seen enough videos. Now. I don't know

602
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: if they're allowing everybody like they used to. I don't

603
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: know if there's a select group. I know obviously here

604
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: at practice for the Texans, there's certain members of media

605
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: that can be here that can't. Either way, you can, yeah, absolutely, baseball.

606
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: It's a weird game. Johnny, you could talk to the

607
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 1: manager before a game, Hey, what's up? Skip and then

608
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: and just have a conversation. But let me tell you something, well,

609
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: David Culley reminds me of that. I was gonna say.

610
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, we have found out that football

611
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: coaches actually do talk to you at practice too. Oh

612
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: they can they can't, and you know, just a quick

613
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: hello and they move on at that station. But but

614
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: the level of friendliness, energy, all of that is off

615
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: the charts. Really. Yeah. And look, we had Dom Capers here,

616
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: maybe the nicest guy in the world other than me.

617
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: And I never met Dom and I've I've been told

618
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: that was I wasn't. I mean, Kubiak was super nice,

619
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: but you know I didn't go near him anywhere on

620
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: the practice field, you know, just no, no after practice. Yeah,

621
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: well we did our one on one. I just forget it.

622
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's just totally engrossed. And it's funny with

623
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: Culli because you know, he's not coordinating a side of

624
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: the football here, so he's bouncing around the different stations

625
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: getting in the mix with everything, which is kind of

626
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: cool to see as well. But I promised this, there

627
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: is a don't forget about me a guy and he's

628
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: not saying it. I'm saying it for him because he

629
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: wasn't here during OTAs. He was rehabbing a knee that

630
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: he injured against the Houston Texans last year when he

631
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: was a member of the New England Patriots. And that

632
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: would be the running back Rex Burkhead. So it's two

633
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: minutes with a Texan. We do this during Texas training camp.

634
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: Live here, it is Rex. How do you feel being

635
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: back in Texas? It feels great, feels great, you know

636
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: as so I grew up played high school ball of course,

637
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's a great feeling and you know,

638
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: even better just to have another opportunity in this league.

639
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: You know, come down here. Your teammate's been great, coach

640
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: has been great, and U you know, just coming together

641
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: here in camp and uh, you know, getting ready for

642
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: the season, looking good out there in training camp. You

643
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: missed the OTAs, So how was that for you trying

644
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: to get up to speed to this system for camp? Yeah? Absolutely, Um,

645
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: you know during OTAs was more just you know, get

646
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: my knee right physically and into a position where I

647
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: get you know, and possibly be ready for training camp

648
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: and so doing that along sign with the mental part

649
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: as well. And uh, you know, the room's great, you know,

650
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: David veteran guy, Phil Mark. You know, they've been here,

651
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: they know the system a little bit and so um,

652
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, they've been great. Night questions I've had, they've

653
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: been right there to answer them for a running back.

654
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: How does this system compared to what you did in

655
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: New England? Uh? Yeah, I mean there's, of course, you know,

656
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: some similarities, but differences as well, and you know, I'm

657
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: just trying to learn those every single day, you know,

658
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: not make the same mistake twice and just keep moving forward. Okay,

659
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: so you're with the Patriots with the Bengals. You played

660
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: in Nebraska in college, but back here in this heat,

661
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: what's that like for you? Yeah, of course it's a

662
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: different you guy. You used to it a little bit.

663
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: You know. Growing up in Dallas you have the heat,

664
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: but you don't have as much of the humidity as

665
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: you do down here. So I just take care of

666
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: your body, makes sure you're hydrated and ready to go

667
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: every day. All right, So playing high school football in Texas?

668
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: What lured you to Nebraska? So many great kids and

669
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: Texas leave the state. Why did you do it? Yeah,

670
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, I love coach Pelini when he was there.

671
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: I was a big fan of his and of course

672
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: the rich running back tradition there at the University of Nebraska,

673
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: and you know, a bunch of great guys on the

674
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: team at the time when I took my visit there,

675
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: and you end up working out great, and of course

676
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: being in the Big twelve at the time, end up

677
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: doing two more years in the Big ten was kind

678
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: of a you know, I was too happy about it,

679
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: but end up working out and you know, it was

680
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: blessed out great four years. Do you still follow college

681
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: football closely? What do you think of what's going on

682
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah, it's crazy, it's crazy. I think some

683
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: of these conferences, of course, are going to look a

684
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: little different here in the next couple of years. But

685
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure it'll all work yourself out. Rex

686
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: takes a lot of good luck. I appreciate it. You

687
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: Rex Burkhead, Johnny, He's not explosive. How would you describe

688
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: Rex Burkhead, Because you look at the numbers, He's always

689
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: been a role player right wherever he's been. He's a

690
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: role playing running back. Doesn't mean he's not productive. I

691
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: mean he had three touchdowns rushing, three touchdowns receiving last

692
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: year in ten games with the Patriots, and you know,

693
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't getting every carry. He was just coming in

694
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: and contributing. And sometimes he'd have a really good game.

695
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: Other times it wasn't like even had a bad game.

696
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: But they were very much game planning for specific situations

697
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: and he fits well against certain defenses. How would you

698
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: describe him? I think you put it very very well.

699
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: What I loved about Rex was, and I'll be really honest,

700
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: I love I've loved Rex Burkhead from the days back,

701
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: both when he was with the Bengals. Here you guys

702
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: were drooling all this guy and watch He'll just go

703
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: to drive in twenty sixteen on Christmas Eve night and

704
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: they keep throwing it to him, and it's just he's

705
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 1: picking up five yards, he's picking up seven after the catch,

706
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: he's breaking a tackle and getting out of bounds and

707
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: like dead Gummitt, the guy I love is gonna beat it.

708
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: And then he goes into England. I'm like, oh my gosh,

709
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: here's what I love though about about his time in

710
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: New England and the whole you know, game plan offenses.

711
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: And now I think one of the things that Belichick

712
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: did and Billy Brant talked about this with us, but

713
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: I think Belichick has done it better than anybody. Belichick

714
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: could understand what kind of game it was. Is this

715
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: one where we're gonna have to air this thing out? Yeah?

716
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: Or is this one of those where we need thirty

717
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: six minutes a time of possession like they did in

718
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen AFCY Championship game at Kansas City. They're like, look,

719
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: we gotta keep my homes off the field. So what

720
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: they do, Sony Michelle is Sony Michelle is Sony Michelle.

721
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: But then they got the second half and he was tolding.

722
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: The rock of the second half was Rex Burkhead. So

723
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: when he was called upon, like hey, we think this

724
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: is we think this is a Burkhead kind of game,

725
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: he went in there and gave them everything they were

726
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: looking for at that particular moment, and I think Rex

727
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: seemingly understood it. I know every running back wants to

728
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: have the ball, they want to carry eighteen to twenty times.

729
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: They want to be the man those those guys, And

730
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: that was why I asked a question of Johnny the

731
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: other day and I didn't ask you, right. I thought

732
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: about it later it was like, Okay, here's why I

733
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: should have phrased it. Would you rather have had a

734
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: Derek Henry type and pay twelve thirteen million dollars a year?

735
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: Or would you rather have running back by a committee

736
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: where you're paying eight to nine million a year? And

737
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: what was my answer? Who's the quarterback? Well? Yeah, exactly,

738
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: and the quarterback is is a big part. Well, obviously

739
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 1: Rex played right next to the number twelve, and yeah,

740
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: and that helps. But yeah, Brady made some key throws

741
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: in that game. But when it was when it was

742
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: crunch time, they gave the ball to thirty four, they

743
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: gave the ball to Birkhead. And you asked me, like,

744
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: what's his what's his traits? Like, what are the things

745
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: he does? Extremely well? He plays football really well. I

746
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 1: know that's odd, And you know me, I just talked

747
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: about you know, who did who did? I just talk

748
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: about that I had the thighs and the legs and

749
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: the trunk and all that kind of stuff like I

750
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, but you know, I get very

751
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 1: granular with this. You ask me about Rex Burkhead, I'm like,

752
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: he's just a really good ball player. Man. He knows

753
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: he knows how to catch the ball really well, he

754
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: knows where to be, he runs it well. He's not

755
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: a four four guy. He's not a six two two

756
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: forty seven guy like Derrick Henry. You want he does

757
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: everything really well. You wanted to know. Tough cuts that's

758
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: gonna be if all those guys are healthy. Yeah, that's

759
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough cuts because it's hard to imagine

760
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: all four of the veterans being on the roster. Now,

761
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: maybe you can work out a way where your practice

762
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: squad somebody, but somebody's gonna pick another guy up because

763
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna have injuries at the position group or whatever

764
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: the situation may be. It's funny you mentioned that Belichick saying,

765
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: I think it's a Birkhead kind of game. It reminds

766
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: me of stuff Parcels used to say, right, Not that

767
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: I was around Parcels, but I've talked to people who

768
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: are around Parcels and he could almost name the score.

769
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: This is a twenty four twenty one, and I feel

770
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: that way. I feel like I have that ability, Johnny.

771
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to brag. I don't want to score

772
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: brag I feel like this is a twenty to seventeen

773
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of game. You know, we'll see who gets the

774
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: final three. Ye I don't know, but Parcels was liked

775
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: that apparently and could get really close to where it

776
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: was going to end up. So I find that interesting.

777
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: But Birkhead, to me is a don't forget about me guy,

778
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: because I don't think anybody should be totally surprised if

779
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: he ends up being firmly in the mix year when

780
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: the regular season gets going, He's still I don't want

781
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: to poop poo his athletic ability in any way, shape

782
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 1: or form. Right. I heard a really good recruiting story

783
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: about Rex Burkhead. Somebody had come down, I think like

784
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: a national recruiter or somebody had come down to Texas

785
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: to take a look at Texas high school football and

786
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: was sitting there talking to somebody that was kind of

787
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: in the know about Plano High School and went to

788
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: go watch a game and pointed down and said some guy,

789
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: and the guy from Texas pointed out and said, that's

790
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: the best linebacker in the state right there, and pointed

791
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: at Rex. Wow. And they watched the game and they

792
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: go on, Rex doesn't take one snap at linebacker and

793
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: the guy's like, wait a second, you told me he's

794
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: the best linebacker in the state. And he goes, oh yeah,

795
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: he's all so one of the best running backs in

796
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: the state too. And here in Texas we only play

797
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 1: one way. Oh my goodness. Yeah, and iatiful story. That's

798
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: awesome that Rex, and and it sort of stuck with me.

799
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: It's sort of over the years of watching Rex. I've

800
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: always been a big fan. And you know, back in

801
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: in seventeen when he signed with the Patriots, I'm like,

802
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me. I mean the Patriots and

803
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: Brandy Cooks and Rex Birkhead that year, and those are

804
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: two of my favorites coming out of college, and we

805
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: saw their work up closer, I know. And I've also

806
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: I've always been a big fan of his and I

807
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: heard that story and its just it kind of satisfied

808
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: my thought on him along, and that is you could

809
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: put him anywhere you could. You could play Rex probably

810
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: at safety, and he would, he'd come up and make play.

811
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: You're such a coach. He's a football player. But you

812
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: backed up, you backed up your point there, and I

813
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: appreciate that. And you just reminded me that Brandy Cooks

814
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: has been on this roster for over a year now

815
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: and I've never confronted him that he's responsible for one

816
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: of the more devastating moments in my play by play

817
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: when he caught that touchdown past late week three at

818
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: New England. Yikes. All right, next up, boy, speaking of

819
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: New England. No, never mind about that. But next up,

820
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: Johnny catches up with a guy who is not a

821
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: don't forget about me guy, but he's one of these

822

826
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna break down a position group today, the defensive backs.

827
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: I think that this is a group that we must

828
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: be talking about, maybe every single day, because it is

829
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,279

Speaker 1: Mark Adamir John Harris with you. I don't know if

921
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: you heard that. I don't know if that got on

922
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,919
Speaker 1: the air because that was me talking over the bump.

923
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: But Watson's here again, just because I promised i'd take

924
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: a tenkets at the quarterback position. Jeff Driscoll's here, by

925
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: the way. I know everyone was wondering if Jeff was

926
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna be here today practice, and I don't think they

927
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: have to worry. Jeff's gonna be here, and we've talked

928
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: a bunch about to Rod Taylor, Davis Mills, but we'll

929
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: continue to do that. I mean, this is interesting to

930
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,439
Speaker 1: watch out here because I know you have the whole

931
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: story going on with four, but with these two guys,

932
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: you know you gotta get them ready to play, and

933
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: you're observing them out there. And I mentioned this last night.

934
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: It looks a whole lot cleaner than I expected in

935
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: a way, because you're breaking in a lot of new

936
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 1: parts here on offense. These are new quarterbacks to this team.

937
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: The team's new right have some members of the old line.

938
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: I get it, you have tight ends here, but Farrell

939
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 1: Brown's not out here, and he was new last year.

940
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: Aikin's is you got cooks, but you have all these

941
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: new receivers. It looks a lot cleaner than I expected,

942
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: especially in eleven on eleven Johnny. Very often, as we've

943
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: seen here throughout camp, I sound like I'm telling this

944
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: to you like you don't know. But for the listener,

945
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: look seven on seven should be. I think I was

946
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: standing next to Andre in the early days of Texans

947
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: history and he said, you know seven on seven should

948
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: be just about one hundred percent completion, right, I mean

949
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: you should not really miss anything in seven on seven

950
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: virtually anything. Okay, sometimes there's a PBu or whatever, but

951
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 1: seven on seven clean fine. But once you get into

952
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: eleven on eleven you get backdowns. It's tighter windows, it's

953
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: very difficult or much more difficult anyway, to make completions.

954
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: But they're doing a pretty good job here. We have

955
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: seen some backdowns. I think you're going to see some

956
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: backdowns on this D line. I think the depth they have,

957
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: the height they have long. Yeah, there's some long, long basketball.

958
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about guys being long football, you

959
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 1: do on occasion. They're long up front and it's gonna

960
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: be interesting to watch them develop. All right, So let's

961
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: get to this now. Uh, this is a player who

962
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: is a glue guy. Yep, we describe him as a

963
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: glue guy and the Patriots because he did get drafted

964
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 1: by them in the seventh Yeah, but he got here,

965
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: as they say, as you said, you were born somewhere else,

966
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: but you got the Texas as fast as you could. Yes,

967
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: that's me. That's that's our guest. Knan crossing. By the way,

968
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: you were talking about how much changeover there's been. I

969
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: hadn't really thought about it. He actually in this interview

970
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: mentions how many quote unquote holdovers there are from last year. Oh,

971
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: that's pretty sharp. If he can do that, I fly,

972
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: it's an astonishing number. I was like, WHOA, really, don't

973
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: give away this, but you got to know it's there,

974
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: it's it's coming, it's here, it is for you. It's

975
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: John Harris with Keion crossing key first two days in

976
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: just overall falls and how you feel couple plays in

977
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: the training camp. Um, you know, feel good man coming

978
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,439
Speaker 1: in obviously knows the grind because the grinds a daily

979
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: grind day by day, especially in Houston. We got some

980
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: humidity here. Um, Like I say, feel good by the team, man.

981
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: Everybody's working in progress and uh constantly get better man,

982
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: and we're just um coming together every day to be

983
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: one team. At the end of the last year, you

984
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: got I know, three or four starts I can't remember

985
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: what it was down the stretch, but you got a

986
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: good bunch of playing time down the stretch. How much

987
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: does that help you coming into this training camp having

988
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: those starts at the end of last year, Um, honestly, man,

989
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: how you know, I'm I'm always a confident player, sure,

990
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: but I just built a lot of confidence because you know,

991
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: most people don't understand how I got a tense to

992
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: guard some elite receivers, you know, from you know, I

993
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: can give it to you know, we started Detroit, um

994
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: goll of Day, went to y Hill and went to

995
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson, went to back to t y Hill, and

996
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: then it came back and went to Aja Green and

997
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: then went to um Asa Brown. So I got, you know,

998
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: I got a tense to guards great receivers man in

999
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 1: this league. And like say, build confidence because you know

1000
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: a lot of people see, you know, a couple of

1001
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: catches they caught, but nobody realized that, you know, those

1002
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: top receivers in league did not score you know, a

1003
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: touchdown on me. So and that's a guy who you

1004
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: know every day coming into practice. Man, I'm you know,

1005
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much working with the scout team every day,

1006
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, basically getting scout reps, not really preparing for

1007
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, a cornerback position and you know, for the game.

1008
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I just just really holed in

1009
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: on what my coaches was talking about, you know, and uh,

1010
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: work technique. Man, we're crap. I was. I got, you know,

1011
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: things to get better at. But just built a lot

1012
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: of confidence man, especially a young playoff defense and league

1013
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: special team. But I'm player on defense man, and um,

1014
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, vents in the room kept me kept me up,

1015
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: you know when I was and in a little moment

1016
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: and uh when I was in high moment, it kept

1017
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: me high. So you know, it was just a joyable

1018
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: moment being like say, Braddy Roby knows guys, man. Yeah,

1019
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: they always kind of teaches me, teach me and I'm learning, man.

1020
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: So I had maybe my favorite player camps for two days.

1021
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: Whistle Blue. You were lined up to go against KEII,

1022
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: the very last player one on once. I know you

1023
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 1: remember it. Oh yeah, I know you got to remember it. Question.

1024
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: That was as competitive a rep as I've seen, where

1025
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: he felt like he could take you down the field

1026
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: maybe depending on how you maybe sitting low, maybe sitting

1027
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: on the short stuff. Then you got his hip and

1028
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,240
Speaker 1: you ran. It was one of the most competitive reps.

1029
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: Take me through what you're going through as you're going

1030
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: through that rep, because and the Whistle Blue you could

1031
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: have gone to the next drill. But it was like no, no, no,

1032
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: we gotta do this right here, and you go and

1033
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: get the guy as quick as Kiki automatic. It's got

1034
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: to help you. But take me through what that was,

1035
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, that last play of that one on one

1036
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: series and kind of how you how you think about

1037
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: that as a dB going to get a receiver that's

1038
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: got quick like he does. Um, you know I always

1039
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: think of you know, it is the last rep of

1040
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: the drill. I think about it as being the last

1041
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: play of the game. So you know, my teammates depending

1042
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 1: on me, you know, as the dB group, you know,

1043
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: we hone in on trying to make plays and do

1044
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: was best for the team obviously in opposition. But that

1045
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: last rep of me is I always put a lot

1046
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: of person on myself with that last rip because at

1047
00:53:58,480 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, if I can

1048
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: tell myself one on one with somebody open field, you know,

1049
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: it's as good as key can uh last rep open field.

1050
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he go wherever he wants to go. So

1051
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: I just try to hone in on technique man, and um,

1052
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, be a competitor. You know I compete. I

1053
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: could keep my ass off and you know, at the

1054
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's the money we mindo. You know,

1055
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: I always think like a lion. Man, I'm like, you know,

1056
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: like a net They always called me, right, So I

1057
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: try to be a net man and uh just work

1058
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: on my techniques, try to hold my leverage and uh

1059
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I'm not really worried

1060
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: about anybody running past me. Um that, Like I said that,

1061
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: that that's that's the confidence I built from last year. Man.

1062
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,000

Speaker 1: I mean it's a little longer than we normally go,

1088

00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: is He's like Rex in a sense, like you said,

1090
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: don't forget about me, don't sleep on me. I think

1091
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: he has that mentality coming from Western Carolina. I haven't

1092
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: round pick. He's had to kind of grind, but Kian

1093
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: can run special team yesterdays watching special teams gunner work,

1094
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you it was as competitive as anything.

1095
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: They didn't practice it was all the dbs. Oh my gosh,

1096
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 1: you are such a hyball nerd If you're watching special

1097
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: teams gut or work, I can't help you. That's good.

1098
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't help though, because it was probably the loudest

1099
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: period I heard. I mean competitive. It was really competitive

1100
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: amongst those guys, and because Keian was one of was

1101
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,280
Speaker 1: one of the first guys that they were going against,

1102
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: and they got all over him when they got him

1103
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: on a rep. It was and he had his big

1104
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: smile because he came right back, right back at him,

1105
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: and I just thought it was really really I didn't

1106
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: talk about that with him, but he is and he

1107
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: mentioned kind of elite special teams. That's that's his deal.

1108
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: He's great at that, but I think he can do more.

1109
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: I make fun of that sometimes. That's you know, watching

1110
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: special teams practice. It is monumentally important. I mean for

1111
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: all teams really obviously field position, especially for this team.

1112
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 1: All right, you might not have the kind of offense

1113
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,399

1236
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: Now we promised this. And by the way, Johnny, I

1237
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: have an idea for an invention. We have a we

1238
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: have to do a start up here, you know the

1239
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: cool towel stuff. Well, apparently we already have a startup.

1240
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: We already are a startup. Johnny. I didn't take that

1241
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: much offense, No, I just I really, the Green Bay

1242
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: Packers are the oldest team, tied with the Bears in

1243
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 1: the National Football I know you didn't see my face.

1244
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: I was. We're the youngest team. He is, but you know,

1245
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: and look, we can't even drink yet, and the way

1246
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: I can't even drink yet the Texans because it's twentieth

1247
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: year and so we're just making the best of the situation.

1248
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 1: But anyway, this year especially I get the startup vibe

1249
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: in that you have fifty new players. Okay, understood, And

1250
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: you know what startups sometimes turn out to be? Uber? Microsoft, Google?

1251
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: You know they were all startups? Okay, Bezos? Who is

1252
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: he back from space yet? I think so started Amazon

1253
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 1: in his garage. Ye, And I hate him, Steve, I'm jealous.

1254
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 1: You know, job jobs in Wasson the actor was in

1255
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: jobs garage creating apples. Wait where was Bill Gates during

1256
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: that time? What they didn't they steal the whole thing

1257
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: from Xerox at the time or something like that. I

1258
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: don't know. Anyway, people out there who know this history,

1259
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 1: like vandermir you have no clue what you're talking about

1260
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: with this, I know. But let's talk about something I

1261
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: do know. I know that when I want to talk

1262
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 1: about football players, I go to John Harris. I'm that smart,

1263
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, it's time to break down the defensive backs.

1264
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: Here in the humid tundra of the Houston Methodist trading

1265
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: set here. Now, let's go in no particular order. I'm

1266
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: gonna start with Cornell Armstrong. He wears number three. My goodness,

1267
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: fourth year out of Memphis, Johnny, he's not a Southern

1268
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: miss Actually he is. Oh yeah, you know what I

1269
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: was reading the wrong month? Go ahead, he is. He's

1270
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: I think he's on n F five to start right now. Yeah, So, unfortunately,

1271
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 1: I've had a chance to see him, and I just

1272
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: hate that he's missing some important reps. He's been a

1273
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: special team's guy. I thought during the off season some good,

1274
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: some bad, and I thought training camp last year kind

1275
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,439
Speaker 1: of some good, some bad, kind of all over the place.

1276
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 1: He's fighting to get one of these cornerback jobs. That

1277
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a little different because he's I would

1278
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: think more of a man, a man or an inside guy.

1279
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how he'll fit into what they're doing

1280
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: out on the outside in this scheme, but I gotta

1281
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: get him back to see what he can do. All right,

1282
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: let's go a new miracle order. The next one up

1283
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 1: would be Justin Reid, number twenty and year four already

1284
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 1: for Reid, who look the way he knows everybody in

1285
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: the organization reminds me of Demiko Ryan's that way. He's

1286
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: just like he just knows everybody, just knows everything. Super

1287
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: smart guy. But what about on the field? Year four, Johnny, Yeah,

1288
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 1: and you're seeing that. I think I'll come refruition. It's

1289
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: a comfortability. He's getting very comfortable in the verbiage of

1290
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: this particular defense. He looks sharp. Watching him one on

1291
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: ones yesterday and actually the day before and team drills.

1292
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: The first play of a couple of drills, he has

1293
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: been a guy knocking the ball away. He's been kind

1294
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 1: of the leader in the back, trying to get everybody

1295
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: lined up where they need to. He's a guy we

1296
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: need ninety tackles, two three forced fumbles, four interceptions. You

1297
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: know we need numbers from him because his leadership is there,

1298
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,959
Speaker 1: the tackling ability is there. It's just slipped a little

1299
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: bit last year. But I think just staying healthy is

1300
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: the key for him because if he's healthy, he will

1301
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: produce numbers of that caliber. Bradley Robie will miss Week one,

1302
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: but he's here. What are you thinking. I think Robie's

1303
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: a smarter player. I think he could play zone. I

1304
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 1: think he could play man. I think he's a guy

1305
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: you gotta have on this particular roster in twenty twenty one,

1306
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: and you know, we'll see after that, I think, because

1307
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: I think this last year to contract, I don't I

1308
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: can't remember exactly, but he can he can be a

1309
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 1: lockdown dude at times in man. He can be excellent

1310
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 1: in zone too because of his understanding of route concepts.

1311
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna be a really good fit

1312
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: in this defense. So I'm excited for that. All right,

1313
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:20,680
Speaker 1: Eric Murray, we talked to him the other day. What

1314
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: are you thinking for twenty twenty one? Don't sleep on

1315
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 1: me really at the beginning of camp. Look, Eric Murray

1316
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: last year had to play like five different positions in

1317
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: the secondary, and everybody wanted to crap on him for it. Look,

1318
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 1: I know Eric would tell you the last year was

1319
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: not his best year. But let him settle in at safety.

1320
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 1: Just let him settle in at safety and see what

1321
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: he does. And with Lonnie Johnson banged up right now,

1322
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:46,599
Speaker 1: I don't know when Lonny's gonna come back. Eric Murray's

1323
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 1: getting a lot of a lot of reps, and I

1324
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 1: think those reps at one position will help Eric Murray

1325
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: going forward. Johnny follow up on Murray. Pundits criticized the

1326
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:00,040
Speaker 1: deal that he got, But what did they see? What

1327
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: did they think when they gave him the deal? What

1328
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: were they hoping for? You know that word versatility. They

1329
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: felt like they could move him from different spots and

1330
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: use him at star and maybe use him at safety,

1331
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: and even use him at corner at times, because he

1332
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: played corner coming out of college. And I think with

1333
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: all the different things that were going on last year,

1334
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,919
Speaker 1: it just it ended up not being the perfect situation.

1335
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: What they wanted to have happened was, you know, to

1336
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: have two outside corners and potentially in Garyan Connolly and

1337
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 1: Bradley Roby, such that Vernon Hardgraves could play inside and

1338
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 1: Murray could stay probably at safety, but he could probably

1339
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: play a little star. I think this year just leaving

1340
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,640
Speaker 1: all that behind, just let Murray play safety. You got

1341
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of other guys that could play on the inside.

1342
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 1: So if you just leave Eric alone and let play

1343
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:40,679
Speaker 1: safety and see what he can do. At that point,

1344
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 1: I don't know that they looked at that. They wanted

1345
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,720
Speaker 1: the versatility part. I think they were attracted by that

1346
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: he has it, but I would rather him just go

1347
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: back to safety. And play safety and be a ballhawk

1348
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: back there. And he own coverages a couple of you guys, Eric, Well,

1349
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 1: we did, Eric Murray, Tremont Smith, Oh Tray Smith, U

1350
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: s A. I covered a few of his games back

1351
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 1: in the Southland Conference and love the speed. I mean,

1352
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:04,680
Speaker 1: he's in the fourth three range and you watch him

1353
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 1: out here and he fits in pretty well. He's a

1354
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 1: guy again, do not sleep on him. He wasn't only

1355
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: the first day, and I don't know why, but man,

1356
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: yesterday it looked like he caught up very very quickly,

1357
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: extremely quick feet, good length. I'd like to see him

1358
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,640
Speaker 1: stick here. He's kind of bouncing the Colts to the

1359
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs and a few other teams. I'd like to see

1360
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 1: him stick here because I think there's something to work

1361
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: with there for sure. Another guy we talked to the

1362
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: other day, Desmond King, former All Pro fifth year out

1363
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 1: of Iowa. Yeah, when you see him money inside, he's

1364
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: kind of similar to Rex Burkhead. He's just a ballplayer.

1365
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 1: And man, I'm more and more convinced market I wrote

1366
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: this yesterday. Covering an inside slot one on one just

1367
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,640
Speaker 1: out in space is becoming the hardest thing to do

1368
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:43,640
Speaker 1: for a defensive back in all of football, and I

1369
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,600
Speaker 1: think Desmond King has as much experience with it, and

1370
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: I think he understands. He can understand route concepts and

1371
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: those kind of things. But I think he fits as

1372
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: an inside guy. And then the return game, how does

1373
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 1: he fit into that? Andre Roberts is back there. Desmond

1374
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: generates turnovers, he generates takeaways, and that's something you've got

1375
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: to have, so finding a way whether he's the nickel,

1376
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: whether he's inside with he's blitzen, whether he's tackling, playing

1377
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: like a like a fourth linebacker, a third linebacker and nickel,

1378
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 1: you got to have a guy like that on the field.

1379
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 1: So I love Desmond King, and we'll see what he

1380
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: can do with some of these preseason games. But man,

1381
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: he will always be around the ball. You will see

1382
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 1: two five around the ball all the time. What are

1383
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: we getting right now? Out of Vernon Hargraves, the third

1384
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 1: former first round draft choice for the Buccaneers, sixty year

1385
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: out of Florida, well I said day one, I felt

1386
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: like maybe this scheme would help Vernon a little bit

1387
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: because Vernon, like Roby, very smart on the outside, understands things.

1388
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: He grew up as a coaches kid, but Vernon's not.

1389
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the greatest recovery speed. He doesn't. It

1390
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,680
Speaker 1: mean he's only four five guy, I say only. I mean,

1391
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 1: you know, Trey Smith at his workout back in college

1392
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: ran four three four. Vernon's a four five guy. But

1393
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 1: he's smart, and he's quick, and he's competitive as all

1394
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:52,640
Speaker 1: get out, and I think that's the kind of thing

1395
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,520
Speaker 1: that can help him. I just think putting him outside

1396
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: at all times can be kind of tough unless you're

1397
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 1: gonna play a lot more zone covers and I could

1398
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: see it then, I could see it for sure, all right.

1399
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:07,839
Speaker 1: Terrence Brooks, we talked to him safety eighth year, A seminole, smart,

1400
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:11,759
Speaker 1: really smart, and covers. I think pretty well, it covers

1401
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: a lot better than I actually was anticipating. Saw him

1402
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: in one on ones against the tight ends and a

1403
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 1: couple of past breakups Day one. A vet savvy. You know,

1404
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: he's got that energy. You know he's got seminal type swag.

1405
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: So he plays with that. And look that that safety

1406
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: position right now, No, Lonnie Johnson, it's not the it's

1407
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: not the deepest position, Johnny. They need him to come, absolutely,

1408
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 1: no doubt. And I think He's the kind of guy

1409
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 1: you can rely on and he will be a guy

1410
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 1: that helps Justin Reid, He'll help Lonnie Johnson, He'll help

1411
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: a J. Moore. He will be a big assistance to

1412
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 1: those guys for sure. Okay, AJ Moore, we talked about

1413
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: him just now and at the safety spot we mentioned it.

1414
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 1: They're not deep. They absolutely have to have guys step up.

1415
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 1: And look, he's helped out in so many ways special teams.

1416
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: You'll love the guy anyway as a person, But what

1417
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 1: about him on the field here twenty twenty one. He

1418
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 1: looks even bigger than he's been, but he's moving around

1419
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 1: I think really really well, and I think part of

1420
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 1: that is just knowledge, just understanding the game having played

1421
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 1: it back there. I think last year when he went down,

1422
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 1: I think it was at Pittsburgh, remember a deep route

1423
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 1: and he had that hamstring poll. I think he slipped

1424
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: on something in the end zone and he was out

1425
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: for a number one. That to me changed a lot

1426
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: about the defense. And not saying that A. J. Moore

1427
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: was the absolute key to it, but what it did

1428
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: is it moved around a bunch of things in the

1429
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 1: secondary and now you had kind of score pegs and

1430
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: round holes where you didn't want them, and that was tough.

1431
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: So that was there was a big loss. I think

1432
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: a J. Moore is kind of the we're talking about versatile.

1433
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 1: He is a versatile guy at safety, but he's a

1434
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 1: good versatile and that he could do a number of

1435
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:46,679
Speaker 1: different things and he actually does those things pretty well.

1436
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: All right. John Reid was drafted last year. Johnny, how's

1437
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: it going. It's come up and down, come up and down.

1438
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:55,680
Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of moments where he has been

1439
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 1: fly paper. He's been stuck on receivers. I've seen other

1440
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 1: times where receivers have shook him and look, that's gonna

1441
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: happen at one on once. I mean some of these

1442
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 1: receivers between Anthony Miller QT, they'll get open against anybody.

1443
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: And so there have been some good moments for John.

1444
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:15,839
Speaker 1: There have been some, you know, some some learning moments.

1445
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 1: But I saw him the other day. He was talking

1446
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: to he was talking to Brandon Cooks and I was

1447
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 1: kind of watching. I couldn't hear, but I was just

1448
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: watching Brandon's mannerisms and you could see Brandon's hands were

1449
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: kind of mimicking the route that Brandon ran against John Reid.

1450
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: So John Reid's going up to Cooks trying to figure out, hey, man,

1451
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 1: what'd you do? What were you looking at? How did

1452
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: you know to do that against me? And I thought

1453
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: that was pretty interesting for a second year guy to

1454
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: go up to an offensive player and say, hey, what'd

1455
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: you do and kind of learn those things. So hopefully

1456
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 1: he continues to learn those things, and he's gonna have

1457
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 1: three great opportunities the preseason games for sure to make

1458
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: this roster. We just had a segment with Keion cross Ends,

1459
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 1: so just give me a sentence on him. I think

1460
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 1: he's come a long way, and do not sleep on

1461
01:14:57,080 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 1: him because he can absolutely fly. Jonathan o Ends, we

1462
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 1: forget about him sometimes playing safety. I'd love to see

1463
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: him get a shot. I'd love to see him. I mean,

1464
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: and I say a shot. Everybody's got a shot, but

1465
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: I would love to see him get a realistic shot

1466
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: because he's physical. He'd come down and bang. And I

1467
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 1: think he can also play on special teams. He's why

1468
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 1: that's why they've kept them around, because he can do

1469
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: those things. But he just hasn't had an opportunity to

1470
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: kind of crack through and gets significant playing time at

1471
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: safety but I think if he did, I think we'd

1472
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: see some very positive things from him at safety in particular.

1473
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 1: All Right, Tavira Thomas, fourth year at a Ferres State,

1474
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,680
Speaker 1: the Bulletdogs their Division one hockey school, by the way,

1475
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 1: but a Division two football power. Yeah, he's a big guy.

1476
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean big guy. I'm I guess corner fits. But

1477
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, special teams, he was very good on special teams.

1478
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: I think he started two three times with the Browns

1479
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 1: last year. But he's the kind of guy that's gonna

1480
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 1: have to make his money on special teams and you know,

1481
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: earn some of those reps on d Shaheim Carter coach.

1482
01:15:54,840 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 1: How about that in spring at Alabama, he's graduated thistant

1483
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:04,599
Speaker 1: quality control. Coach's cool and then got called to come

1484
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 1: for a tryout. Went for a tryout here, got a

1485
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: try out here, showed out during the tryout, got on

1486
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: the squad. I saw him the cafeteria. We're talking about that.

1487
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: He's a very interesting guy. Of course, as a coach,

1488
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: he said he learned a lot just listening to coach

1489
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,879
Speaker 1: Saban and listening to the coaching staff that he's applying.

1490
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 1: It's an uphill climb for him. There's no doubt to me,

1491
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 1: he's probably one of the last guys. But look he's

1492
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 1: got an opportunity. Just keep showing up and showing out

1493
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 1: and seeing what you can do. Physical dude can run

1494
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 1: a little bit, very well. Put together, really good athlete,

1495
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 1: really good Athletes'll see if it comes together. And there's

1496
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: three preseason games final dB in this breakdown. Terrence Mitchell

1497
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: the other Terrence. I think he's steady. I think he's

1498
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: really really really good in zone coverage. Man a man

1499
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:52,719
Speaker 1: gets a little handsy, and Ben can grab a little

1500
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: bit and hold a little bit. But in zone coverage,

1501
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 1: very smart, understands routes underneath, plays a cover two corner

1502
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 1: extremely well. He made a great play in AJ around

1503
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 1: in the game against the Titans where Brown caught a

1504
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: ball not really wasn't really Mitchell's coverage, but AJ caught

1505
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,679
Speaker 1: the ball was turning up and Mitchell came over the top,

1506
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 1: reached in, grabbed the ball, ripped it out right as

1507
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 1: AJ was going in. Unfortunately, Tiden's got on it scored

1508
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 1: the next play with Derrick Henry. But you see those

1509
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 1: things from you see those things from Mitchell, Hey going in,

1510
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 1: go get the football, punched out like Peanut Tillman. In fact,

1511
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 1: in the interview we did with him, I think he

1512
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 1: mentioned Peanut till he did. And that's a big yes,

1513
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 1: that's a big thing going and getting the football. And

1514
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 1: I saw that play and I saw it like a

1515
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 1: week ago. I was watching that game and I thought

1516
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 1: much interesting. Add that to what he can already do

1517
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:41,839
Speaker 1: in zone covering. And that's the thing. In zone coverage.

1518
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's a fiver. They circle up, they've seen what

1519
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 1: the coverage is and they think they know where eybody

1520
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: is catch the ball and they turn and all of

1521
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: a sudden, the DB's on them and they're not ready.

1522
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 1: They can punch the ball out, they get it out,

1523
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 1: they rip it out, those kind of things, and Terrence Mitchell,

1524
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 1: I think you do some of those things well here

1525
01:17:58,160 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: at training camp. By the way, that's the position for

1526
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:04,680
Speaker 1: breakdown of defensive backs here on the humid tundra of

1527
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: the Houston Methodist Trading Center. All right, quarterbacks throwing soft

1528
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 1: toss and Johnny I can't really do anything in NFL

1529
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: quarterback can do on the field, but I feel like

1530
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: I could do the soft toss. I feel like I

1531
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 1: could throw it back and forth with these guys, they're

1532
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: not drilling it right now. Actually now now they've backed

1533
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 1: up to about twenty five yard passes, So I think

1534
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a break from doing the soft toss.

1535
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: What's interesting to throw a twenty five yards, But if

1536
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:28,640
Speaker 1: I do it like a hundred times, my arms fallen off.

1537
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 1: Thrown NFL football's much different than throwing any other football.

1538
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,679
Speaker 1: It's you know what, I totally get the flake gate.

1539
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 1: Anybody who would feel an actual NFL football would understand

1540
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:41,600
Speaker 1: why you'd want to take a little bit I do

1541
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 1: with bander kids footballs. I'm like, listen to different or grip.

1542
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 1: You know, these things are hard to grip, Johnny. Why

1543
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 1: do they make them that way? What's the problem with

1544
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 1: the flake gate? Because it's not the ball flight is

1545
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 1: not going to be as good if it's deflated at all.

1546
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,560
Speaker 1: That affects the flight of the ball. Does affect the

1547
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: flight of the ball, but it gives the quarterback the ability.

1548
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: The one thing is be wrong with getting a better grip.

1549
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't understand this. Aren't we looking for points and

1550
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 1: good play? I mean, I agree, it's not like they

1551
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: turned it into a flat, you know, squashed you know,

1552
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:13,840
Speaker 1: armordillo that you ran over. It's not like that, but

1553
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 1: it's just a little bit of PSI out of it

1554
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 1: to get a better grip on it. So you can

1555
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:19,640
Speaker 1: rip it a little bit more because you have a

1556
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 1: better grip on it. You went PSI on me, all right?

1557
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: D line, we've been talking about them. Malik Collins, we've

1558
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: been talking about him. He was with the Cowboys, then

1559
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: last year went to the Raiders and that didn't work

1560
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 1: out as well as planned. So he's here and hoping

1561
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 1: for really good things in this Lovey Smith four three

1562
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 1: defense coached by Bobby King on the D line, and

1563
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:43,640
Speaker 1: we began this conversation on training camp eve asking him

1564
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 1: about Vegas and being that first pro football group in

1565
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. It was a good experience, but we didn't

1566
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 1: have no fancy either. Yeah, how was that? We talked

1567
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:57,600
Speaker 1: a lot of guys about last year and that's the

1568
01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 1: one thing we haven't even brought up. That was that

1569
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,879
Speaker 1: must had so weird. I remember we went to Pittsburgh.

1570
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: We played Pittsburgh in Week three and they scored a

1571
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 1: touchdown and typically you know the road Pittsburgh, you've been there,

1572
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean place It was nuts and it was just

1573
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 1: oh you could hear it was a coach or a

1574
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 1: couple coaches on their side, like, yeah, how weird was

1575
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 1: that to not have fans in the building. It was.

1576
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 1: It was bar for sure. It was. I mean, but

1577
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 1: you had to adapt and get over it. I mean

1578
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:26,800
Speaker 1: it was a yeah, it was. It was a different experience. Yeah,

1579
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:29,759
Speaker 1: and you guys, but living in that city and playing

1580
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 1: ball in that city, I know it was during the pandemic,

1581
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:33,640
Speaker 1: so it was it was different than it will be

1582
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 1: this year or in the future or whatever. But that

1583
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: part of it though, practicing and being part of the

1584
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 1: daily routine, not a daily daily routine, and the practice

1585
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: and you know what I'm saying, looking up seeing the

1586
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,879
Speaker 1: mountains around you. I mean it was. It was a beautiful,

1587
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: beautiful atmosphere for football. Um it just a lot of

1588
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: it was pandemic ridden, a lot of not a lot

1589
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: of business, a lot a lot of restaurants open, casinos

1590
01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 1: were closed for a little bit. Yeah, but I mean

1591
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was a nice atmosphere. So

1592
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 1: how about Houston. You pick Houston to come here? What

1593
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:08,679
Speaker 1: is it about Houston? What was it about the Texans

1594
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 1: that felt like it was the right fit? For you,

1595
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 1: Mulley Collins. Uh, well, I really needed a fresh start. Yeah. Um,

1596
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 1: I think this organization kind of jump started for a

1597
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 1: fresh start as well. And um I felt like it

1598
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 1: was a place where I could build. It's a place

1599
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 1: where you know, uh, I guess some opportunity and m

1600
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: I go play my best ball. All right. So we're

1601
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 1: looking at the players on the d line here and

1602
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,360

1610
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 1: get out there and work with these guys. He's the

1611
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 1: energizer Bunnet. I mean that dude, that dude doesn't stop

1612
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 1: for people that haven't had a chance to see you.

1613
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: And like I've been watching you since your days. By

1614
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:15,760
Speaker 1: the way, why didn't you change the number seven? And

1615
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 1: that's kind of cool. Uh, they were big guys. Can't

1616
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,640
Speaker 1: change his numbers. Oh that's right. Yeah. Would you have

1617
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 1: gone at number seven? No, I wouldn't it. Why not?

1618
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've always said this true false. I've

1619
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: always said this about college lineman. Like when I'm scouted

1620
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,640
Speaker 1: college lineman, I look and I see that dude's got

1621
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 1: a skilled player number or a perimeter player number. You know,

1622
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: he's wearing fifteen, Like Miles Garrett were fifteen in college.

1623
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 1: You were number seven. I always say those are the

1624
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 1: guys that I want because they weren't a single digits.

1625
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean they wore a single digit high school, which

1626
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: meant they played some sort of perimeter position in high school.

1627
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 1: Those are the best athletes on the field. I wear

1628
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:54,680
Speaker 1: seventy two in high school. I want to do that.

1629
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: That's what I had to where I had to play

1630
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 1: online dy both sides of the ball. And they got

1631
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 1: the Nebraska and said, no, I'm going single digits straight up,

1632
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:05,960
Speaker 1: only six. But yeah, seven, So I took seven. You

1633
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: took seven. Eric Crotch's number, Yeah, there you go. What

1634
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 1: with all these players you mentioned, some of the Texans

1635
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: fans have seen they may not have seen you play. Yeah,

1636
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:17,639
Speaker 1: what are the Texans getting? What are the fans gonna see?

1637
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: When you get on the field. You're gonna get energy,

1638
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a You're gonna get a rush, for sure,

1639
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 1: that's one thing you are gonna get. Um, you're gonna

1640
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 1: get somebody's gonna get off the ball, somebody's gonna play

1641
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: with an attitude and uh someone you can count on

1642
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 1: them being consistent. Week two of the preseason you go

1643
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 1: back to Dallas. So what's that gonna be like? I

1644
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:42,600
Speaker 1: know you probably won't get too sentimental about it. You

1645
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 1: have a job to do with the Texans. But what

1646
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 1: is that gonna be like for you? I mean, it's

1647
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna be another game. I never played against a former

1648
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: team either, so I mean it's pretty it's pretty exciting

1649
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:56,040
Speaker 1: to get back up there and uh, you know, pretty

1650
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,639
Speaker 1: much the same old line and I went against all

1651
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 1: right all those years up there. Yeah, I'm excited. You know,

1652
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 1: the term gentle giant does apply to guys like Malik Collins,

1653
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: because there he is, he's talking like this, and I

1654
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: really don't get up to Dallas much and then all

1655
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's ripping your head off on the

1656
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:18,439
Speaker 1: football field because that's what they have to do between

1657
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,200

1671

1765
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:50,559
Speaker 1: about the music they were playing this morning. Here they're

1766
01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 1: playing Bob Marley, every little thing, which I loved. I mean,

1767
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 1: it made me want to get a cool drink and

1768
01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 1: sit by the pool. But there's no cool drink and

1769
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,960
Speaker 1: there's no pool. There's cool water, okay, and there's this

1770
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 1: salty gate rate stuff that they give the players. I

1771
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:05,560
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but I'm not drinking that

1772
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 1: and why. But listening to Marley like hearing reggae out here, Johnny.

1773
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:12,120
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I want to go back to this

1774
01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:14,560
Speaker 1: gatorade thing. Yeah, well this is all right. So this

1775
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 1: is the water. They have water that's like fortified with

1776
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 1: some kind of salty lemonade stuff ionized. And then there

1777
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:23,840
Speaker 1: are some gatorades with xes on them, and the big

1778
01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:26,839
Speaker 1: coolers over there the xs have extra salt that Actually

1779
01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 1: that's what they used to do. I assume they still

1780
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:31,000
Speaker 1: do that kind of stuff. Yeah, I would imagine. I mean, look,

1781
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:33,880
Speaker 1: terror practice. Turn it on a couple of gatorade. You're good.

1782
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: I will admit gatorade. Poo. Why don't they make a

1783
01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 1: jersey out of the cool towel material? Well, you're asking

1784
01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: so many questions. That's a good question. Make the whole. Look,

1785
01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:47,799
Speaker 1: we have these cool towels now, the technology is amazing.

1786
01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:50,599
Speaker 1: Why don't they make the jersey, the whole jersey out

1787
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:53,640
Speaker 1: of cool towel? I think, um, I think Nike's done that.

1788
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:56,880
Speaker 1: I think Nike, I'm maybe not the cool towel We'll

1789
01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 1: do it. You got all the technology in the world.

1790
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 1: Figure out how to do that fabric in a jersey

1791
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,720
Speaker 1: form dry fit enough where it's thin enough. You know,

1792
01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 1: the stuff they used to wear forty years ago was

1793
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:14,760
Speaker 1: like pure cotton or whatever rights stuff that MESHI think

1794
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:17,639
Speaker 1: about the mesh stuff was you'd wear that mesh stuff

1795
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 1: and then you'd land and you'd have like mesh print. Yeah,

1796
01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 1: you'd have mesha print on your body mesa tattoo, involuntary

1797
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:28,360
Speaker 1: mesh tattoo. Yes, that would be a thing. Uh. You know,

1798
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm watching Sterner over here, and he was great on

1799
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 1: the morning show by the way he broke down the

1800
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:35,719
Speaker 1: quarterback position. But I'm one, you know, he didn't play

1801
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 1: long enough ago where maybe you did where the guys

1802
01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:41,360
Speaker 1: would do with a halter top. Look, they'd cut off

1803
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: the jersey right there to like stand gable. Ye, that

1804
01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:46,200
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Oh yeah, and Revenge of the Nerves. Oh,

1805

1807
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, we had a quarterback from California. I can't

1808
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:57,800
Speaker 1: even tell you his last name. I will not tell

1809
01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:01,400
Speaker 1: you his last name, but he never even said his

1810
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:03,559
Speaker 1: last name because I think his last name is an

1811
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 1: FCC Fine And he always did that. He would wear

1812
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:09,680
Speaker 1: he was from California though, and he would have that,

1813
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:12,040
Speaker 1: and we always kind of made fun of that California guy,

1814
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, with short shimmel shirt and he would tuck

1815
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:17,720
Speaker 1: it underneath his shoulder pads. So yeah, there was a

1816
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:19,320
Speaker 1: little bit of that, a little bit of that. Do

1817
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 1: you know how like some guys Lance Berkman, right, his

1818
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:25,120
Speaker 1: face would indicate when you just look at his face,

1819
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:27,320
Speaker 1: you would think, well, maybe he's a heavy set guy,

1820
01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:29,600
Speaker 1: or that a heavy set but heavier than he is.

1821
01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 1: And he actually told me that, he said, people think

1822
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm fat, and you know he's he was totally in shape, right.

1823
01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:38,479
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith's beard kind of has the same effective. If

1824
01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:40,639
Speaker 1: you just look at Lovey Smith and that big, huge

1825
01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:42,240
Speaker 1: gray beard, do you think, oh, that guy must be, like,

1826
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:46,479
Speaker 1: you know, heavier than he is. He is cut, he's

1827
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 1: Lovey is in tremendous shape. He is. We did this

1828
01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:55,240
Speaker 1: thing up in the West Club, was me along with

1829
01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:59,800
Speaker 1: Coach Culley, Coach Smith, Coach Kelly, and Coach Ross, and

1830
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 1: we were testing out foods, the new foods that are

1831
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:06,120
Speaker 1: gonna be from Aramark in the building this year at

1832
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 1: Energy Stadium, and so we tried out a few things.

1833
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting because Coach Ross Coach Ross,

1834
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:14,000
Speaker 1: there's a hot dog, there's a barbecue hot dog, and

1835
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 1: so we're getting ready to do it. And Coach Smith,

1836
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:18,400
Speaker 1: he coaches Chicago, he looked at me. He was like, hey, man,

1837
01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:21,160
Speaker 1: I know hot dogs. Yeah. Coach Ross looks at me,

1838
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 1: goes John, I having a hot dog in twelve years

1839
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 1: have you seen? Have you seen Coach Ross? You know,

1840
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:30,120
Speaker 1: like he's put together. But I was standing so lovey

1841
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:32,160
Speaker 1: was basically where you were to me. He was right

1842
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:34,800
Speaker 1: next to me, right and I kept kind of looking

1843
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:36,680
Speaker 1: over a man, I hope, but I'm his age. I

1844
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:38,880
Speaker 1: look like that. I didn't say it, but I was.

1845
01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:41,720
Speaker 1: They should say it because it's a compliment. Yeah he

1846
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:44,080
Speaker 1: is well, but he probably doesn't want to hear the

1847
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:46,599
Speaker 1: at your age. Yeah, yeah, that's telling me I look grazy.

1848
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:49,679
Speaker 1: Just don't ever start a sentence with that, young people.

1849
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:51,280
Speaker 1: One of the guys, I'm not gonna say who, but

1850
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:53,240
Speaker 1: one of the guys on the football staff actually called

1851
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:56,840
Speaker 1: me sir. All right. I was like, oh, I've been

1852
01:34:56,880 --> 01:35:00,479
Speaker 1: around here since the beginning of time, all right, now,

1853
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 1: we promised this Chris Conley receiver. He's got a real

1854
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 1: shot here, all right, He's got a real shot a

1855
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:08,760
Speaker 1: lot of talent. It's fun to watch him play, and

1856
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:11,120
Speaker 1: it's also really fun to talk to the guys super smart.

1857
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:14,560
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty caught up with him with Drew's dozen. This

1858
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:17,920
Speaker 1: is wide receiver Chris Conley and he declared war on

1859
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 1: Gene Shorts a long time ago. Why because I'm a

1860
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:24,160
Speaker 1: Georgia bulldog, and uh, you know, we don't. We don't

1861
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:28,200
Speaker 1: mess with those and it's only it's only the right

1862
01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 1: thing to do. You know. I consider myself a good guy.

1863
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:33,400
Speaker 1: But you know some people beg to differ for those

1864
01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:35,759
Speaker 1: that don't know, why are George's bad? Why are they evil?

1865
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:39,000
Speaker 1: It's a Florida Gator thing and we don't really speak

1866
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:41,360
Speaker 1: about the Florida Gators. We only think about them one

1867
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 1: week out of the year. They think about us three

1868
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:45,840
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four days before that game. So you know,

1869
01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:48,040
Speaker 1: it is what it is, and we'll see them again

1870
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:52,680
Speaker 1: in fall. Fair enough, If Chewbacca played football, you were

1871
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:55,639
Speaker 1: the head coach, where would you play? Chewbacca will position

1872
01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:57,400
Speaker 1: tight end? You know, tight ends are some of the

1873
01:35:57,439 --> 01:36:00,599
Speaker 1: most versatile people on the field, especially large athletic guys

1874
01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 1: who are aggressive. You see that with Travis Kelsey, George Kittle,

1875
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:05,840
Speaker 1: Chewbacca would be right in there with them, you know,

1876
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:08,639
Speaker 1: exactly where he needs to be because of his strength

1877
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 1: and skill set that you just reference. Would it also

1878
01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:13,439
Speaker 1: be wise to play in both ways? Maybe defensive end,

1879
01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:16,800
Speaker 1: outside linebacker perhaps? Oh yeah, you know, speed speed on

1880
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:18,280
Speaker 1: the field is always a good thing to have. People

1881
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:20,680
Speaker 1: who can run sideline to sideline. And I could see him,

1882
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, out there, he rised people's arms off. We'd

1883
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:24,680
Speaker 1: have to coach him out of that, but you know,

1884
01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:27,599
Speaker 1: we can make it work. Most overrated Star Wars character

1885
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:31,920
Speaker 1: of all time is Ray. How Come she didn't struggle enough?

1886
01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:35,000
Speaker 1: She was kind of just given a mantle. I'd love

1887
01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:39,040
Speaker 1: to see more character development, and to be fair, they

1888
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:41,040
Speaker 1: just didn't write her character. Well, it's not a Daisy

1889
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:43,400
Speaker 1: Riddley thing. It's more of just the lack of planning.

1890
01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 1: That was a very nice political answer. You didn't slam

1891
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:49,439
Speaker 1: the actress. You know that as are great actress. The

1892
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:51,360
Speaker 1: actors and actresses are great, they just weren't given a

1893
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:53,040
Speaker 1: lot to work with. What's up in the hopper for

1894
01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:57,360
Speaker 1: you project wise as far as entertainment, film and whatnot?

1895
01:36:57,360 --> 01:37:00,479
Speaker 1: Because I saw the first five minutes of the movie

1896
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:04,040
Speaker 1: you made. The twenty six minute film in college was awesome.

1897
01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:07,000
Speaker 1: I want to finish it. What's next for you? Um? Well,

1898
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:10,519
Speaker 1: you know, I still shoot a project every offseason. This offseason,

1899
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:13,280
Speaker 1: I shot a little YouTube miniseries just at some local

1900
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 1: eateries around Houston that'll be coming out in a couple

1901
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:19,479
Speaker 1: of weeks or so. But just whether it's storytelling through

1902
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:23,720
Speaker 1: short films or films, or doing some nonfiction stuff, just

1903
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:26,840
Speaker 1: out in the world and hosting things. Just continuing to

1904
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:29,600
Speaker 1: flex creative muscles and see where it takes me. How

1905
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 1: much fun is that getting to know a new town

1906
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,040
Speaker 1: by finding out through its food and you know what

1907
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:35,760
Speaker 1: stood out to you some of those places where you

1908
01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:38,920
Speaker 1: went it was great. There's a lot of great food

1909
01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 1: and culture here. I love how the food and the

1910
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:44,640
Speaker 1: culture really mixed together. The restaurants that we went to

1911
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:47,840
Speaker 1: are really a part of the areas of Houston that

1912
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:50,960
Speaker 1: they are in, and you can see that the community

1913
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 1: really supports them. And I really enjoyed that we got

1914
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 1: to meet a lot of really cool people and talk

1915
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:57,080
Speaker 1: to them about how they made it to this place

1916
01:37:57,120 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 1: and how they've all melted and meshed into Houston. You've

1917
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 1: been a lot of place is in your life. I

1918
01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:04,360
Speaker 1: mean you you're born in Turkey, air Force bases all

1919
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:06,760
Speaker 1: over the world. This is a pretty diverse place. It's

1920
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 1: not just talk, is it in that regard? Yeah, No,

1921
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:11,439
Speaker 1: you can feel it. And you can go to each

1922
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:13,160
Speaker 1: of the different parts of the city and just meet

1923
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:17,200
Speaker 1: new people and who have transplanted here from god knows where,

1924
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 1: and they all get along and there at the Houstonians.

1925
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:23,760
Speaker 1: And I love that. Growing up around, you know, the

1926
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 1: country and being born in a different part of the world,

1927
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:29,959
Speaker 1: you get really used to just being in new environments

1928
01:38:30,040 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 1: and meeting new people. And I feel like it's the

1929
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:33,600
Speaker 1: same thing here. There's a lot of people like me.

1930
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:36,320
Speaker 1: What was your favorite of one or two of those places?

1931
01:38:37,320 --> 01:38:39,880
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed California. California was just a different pace

1932
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:41,760
Speaker 1: in life at that point. I was really into the arts.

1933
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 1: I didn't play sports, you know, I was big into riding,

1934
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:48,760
Speaker 1: and I was doing acting and music and things like that,

1935
01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:52,160
Speaker 1: and it was just a good time for really establishing

1936
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:55,800
Speaker 1: that love for creative things. My apologies. Before this interview started,

1937
01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:57,439
Speaker 1: I said we weren't going to talk any football at all,

1938
01:38:57,479 --> 01:38:59,320
Speaker 1: but I have to ask a couple of football questions

1939
01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:02,040
Speaker 1: which have been like first few days, catching passes, being

1940
01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:04,400
Speaker 1: out there, you know, getting going to be a part

1941
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:07,560
Speaker 1: of this team. That's hot. It's hot. Uh, you know,

1942
01:39:07,640 --> 01:39:09,840
Speaker 1: I I've played in hot places before. This is a

1943
01:39:09,840 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 1: little different, but uh, it's it's good. Uh. It really

1944
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 1: helps you build up a callus. Uh you go out

1945
01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:17,000
Speaker 1: here and you you have a little bit of an

1946
01:39:17,080 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 1: extra hump to get over as you're preparing for football,

1947
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 1: and you know, we play indoors here and so, uh,

1948
01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 1: game days will be a lot easier, but I like

1949
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:27,320
Speaker 1: the challenge of coming out here and grinding with guys

1950
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:29,360
Speaker 1: and getting into him. You played in hot places? Have

1951
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:32,559
Speaker 1: you lived in hotter places in this? Um? I mean

1952
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:34,640
Speaker 1: I would say a place that has gotten as hot

1953
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 1: as here. But I feel like I've had a hotter

1954
01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:39,760
Speaker 1: day here than I had there in Jacksonville so far.

1955
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:43,280
Speaker 1: And uh, it's just here. It's kind of it's been

1956
01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:47,160
Speaker 1: really constant. It's been it's been hot early. It'll probably

1957
01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 1: be hotter later in the year there, but so far

1958
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:52,280
Speaker 1: it's been a little bit hotter here. As a receiver,

1959
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:54,479
Speaker 1: what was the one thing you worked on to try

1960
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 1: and improve, to try and get better at this offseason.

1961
01:39:57,080 --> 01:40:00,400
Speaker 1: Um really just uh, just an attack mentality and attack

1962
01:40:00,479 --> 01:40:04,479
Speaker 1: mentality at all times. Really just taking my conditioning to

1963
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:06,600
Speaker 1: another level and being up to be able to go

1964
01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:08,679
Speaker 1: out there and not only attack the football, but attack

1971
01:40:26,479 --> 01:40:29,960
Speaker 1: line of camp so far, is He asked him about

1972
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:32,760
Speaker 1: Chewbacca being a football player. He said, well, he does

1973
01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:34,840
Speaker 1: rip people's arms off, so we'd have to coach him.

1974
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:38,720
Speaker 1: I love that, but fell over when he said that.

1975

Speaker 1: And I don't know nothing about Star Wars, but I

2072
01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:37,160
Speaker 1: some in Dubai. They made it rain with droids, right

2075
01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:44,960

2077

Speaker 1: ready for some practice routine stuff. Let's get to Landry's

2078
01:46:51,560 --> 01:46:55,439
Speaker 1: cap questions with Landry, what's up? All right, guys, there

2079
01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 1: was obviously a draft yesterday in the NBA and the

2080
01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:02,240
Speaker 1: Rockets draft. Jalen Green was very confident, immediately confident at

2081
01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:04,840
Speaker 1: the podium in y'all's time with the Texans. Who's the

2082
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:09,600
Speaker 1: most confident rookie that you've ever seen that showed swagger immediately?

2083
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 1: Did they do they have to back it up when

2084
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:14,920
Speaker 1: we talk about no, no, no, no back it up, nothing,

2085
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:21,559
Speaker 1: just just just immediate confidence and swagger. DJ Sweringer, Oh yeah, swag. Yes,

2086
01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:23,599
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's not even close. I loved him

2087
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:25,360
Speaker 1: because he had the swag with the two gs. Then

2088
01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:27,040
Speaker 1: it got three gs and he said, I'm gonna go

2089
01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 1: to four g's with the swag next year. I don't

2090
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:35,320
Speaker 1: even I Landry dropped my next question. Nobody else, nobody's

2091
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:38,880
Speaker 1: ever ever come close? All right? Week one, we're close

2092
01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:41,840
Speaker 1: to uh to Week one right down down the street

2093
01:47:42,479 --> 01:47:46,080
Speaker 1: against the Jags. Who will be the starting running back

2094
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 1: for the Texans Week one? Who will be on the

2095
01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:51,840
Speaker 1: field for the first snap. I like this question. This

2096
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 1: is good. If it's two, Okay, god too, don't start.

2097
01:47:56,400 --> 01:47:59,440
Speaker 1: You gotta pick one. I'm just saying there's a possibility

2098
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 1: you could have to move them out there. Pick one

2099
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:06,600
Speaker 1: for me to go first. No, I'll go first. I

2100
01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:10,280
Speaker 1: think it's uh. I think it's thirty. Yeah, I think

2101
01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 1: it is too. I think it's Philip Lindsay because he's

2102
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:16,920
Speaker 1: just look, the ceiling is the highest for him here

2103
01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 1: or anywhere really with health. That's an assumption here and

2104
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:24,040
Speaker 1: a presumption as we look at the first snap of

2105
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:26,160
Speaker 1: the season. I think it's Lindsay. I think David Johnson

2106
01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 1: gets in there. I think Ingram. I think it's gonna

2107
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:31,000
Speaker 1: be tough for Birkhead because maybe he's behind the other guys,

2108
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:32,760
Speaker 1: but it's hard to rule him out. But if I

2109
01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 1: had to pick one, the favorite I think Vegas would

2110
01:48:37,479 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 1: have Lindsay is. Here's why I say that. Could you

2111
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:43,479
Speaker 1: not see a scenario where you come out in with

2112
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 1: two backs, thirty ones out wide as a wide receiver

2113
01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:50,840
Speaker 1: and you stick thirty in the backfield. No, maybe, I

2114
01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:53,240
Speaker 1: don't know. In some formations, not the first play from

2115
01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:56,760
Speaker 1: scrimmage in twenty you come right out of the gates

2116
01:48:56,880 --> 01:49:00,120
Speaker 1: or something like that. Now, Jacksonville's got a thing. They

2117
01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 1: gotta go back over there after the hole go whoa

2118
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:05,480
Speaker 1: what else they got for us? I'm just Johnny, I'm

2119
01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:07,559
Speaker 1: just I'm throwing it. I'm just throwing it out there.

2120
01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:11,080
Speaker 1: Got the job best AFC South, the restaurant on the

2121
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:14,920
Speaker 1: road that you have to go to. Okay, Look, there

2122
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:18,320
Speaker 1: are different categories. We could talk about this. I know

2123
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:20,960
Speaker 1: people by the way it thinks the shrimp cocktail and

2124
01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:23,640
Speaker 1: India is very overrated. It is. It is over but

2125
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:28,240
Speaker 1: its a lot of traditions are overrated when you just

2126
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 1: break it all down. Said, he's right. Now, Look it's

2127
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:36,600
Speaker 1: it's something you gotta do. We always have it. It

2128
01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:40,120
Speaker 1: all it is is extra horse radish and the sauce.

2129
01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:43,000
Speaker 1: That's all that stuff is right and and it's not.

2130
01:49:43,320 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 1: And the other thing is where's the shrimp coming from?

2131
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:49,120
Speaker 1: It certainly is not coming out of the river the

2132
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:53,240
Speaker 1: gulf that's right there by Indianapolis. So yes, it is

2133
01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:54,720
Speaker 1: all right. I'll give you the one that we go

2134
01:49:54,800 --> 01:49:57,639
Speaker 1: through on the road Landry in Nashville. It's called Southern.

2135
01:49:58,120 --> 01:50:01,320
Speaker 1: We've gone there for a while. It's steak oysters. They

2136
01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:04,320
Speaker 1: start with some oysters, then you get I don't think

2137
01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:07,320
Speaker 1: I've ever gotten a steak though, but I've gotten different proteins.

2138
01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:11,880
Speaker 1: Were The Southern in Nashville is terrific, and McLean gets

2139
01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:13,760
Speaker 1: us in by the way, because we could never get

2140
01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:17,200
Speaker 1: in there with the kind of tables that we request,

2141
01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:21,440
Speaker 1: So that's good. That's technically the best. One. My favorite

2142
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:25,200
Speaker 1: is Strip Mall Ribs in Jacksonville, which is a place

2143
01:50:25,240 --> 01:50:27,920
Speaker 1: called the Players Club or something like that, the Strip

2144
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:33,040
Speaker 1: Mall Restaurant, but it's it used to be called the

2145
01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:35,880
Speaker 1: Mudville grew. When I went there with my wife when

2146
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:38,040
Speaker 1: I was living in Jacksonville and we ended up there

2147
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 1: one night, I was like, wait a second, this place

2148
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:41,720
Speaker 1: looks familiar. I'm like, oh yeah, and their ribs are

2149
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:44,719
Speaker 1: Actually I want to open a restaurant called Strip Mall Ribs. Anyway,

2150
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:47,240
Speaker 1: That's that's my favorite there. And Indy we go to

2151
01:50:47,320 --> 01:50:49,800
Speaker 1: this place Prime forty seventh to have steak and it's nice.

2152
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 1: But look, technically, the Southern is the best. All right.

2153
01:50:52,120 --> 01:50:55,519
Speaker 1: A player that benefits the most individually from all the

2154
01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:58,640
Speaker 1: changes this offseason, and if it's not Kiki Qt, then

2155
01:50:58,720 --> 01:51:02,760
Speaker 1: who is it? You thought Kiki was the automatic answer. Hum,

2156
01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:08,760
Speaker 1: he's my answer, bias. Who benefits the most? You know,

2157
01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:10,799
Speaker 1: that's a great question. I know I just said Lindsay

2158
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:13,040
Speaker 1: would be the first back out there. But David Johnson

2159
01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:15,240
Speaker 1: could benefit a great deal here. I mean he was

2160
01:51:15,320 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 1: different at the end of last year. He saw the psychologist.

2161
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:19,880
Speaker 1: You guys had him on. You know, it would not

2162
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:22,599
Speaker 1: surprise me if David Johnson had a real good year.

2163
01:51:23,120 --> 01:51:25,639
Speaker 1: So he might benefit the most from all the changes.

2164
01:51:25,640 --> 01:51:27,840
Speaker 1: Because they know they have to run the football. Well,

2165
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:32,439
Speaker 1: there's gonna be great emphasis on that, I would say him.

2166
01:51:33,360 --> 01:51:36,799
Speaker 1: I'll throw a wild card out there. I think Jordan Nakins. Okay,

2167
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:39,080
Speaker 1: I think Aikins. And the reason I say that is,

2168
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about the situation at quarterback, but

2169
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 1: Tarrot has been a guy that is going to take

2170
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:48,080
Speaker 1: profit when he finds it, and that profit might be

2171
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:51,519
Speaker 1: shorter routes, not as deep, intermediate routes, those kind of

2172
01:51:51,560 --> 01:51:53,639
Speaker 1: things that could be a place where a could really

2173
01:51:53,680 --> 01:51:56,439
Speaker 1: take advantage of that. So I think Jordan Nakens could

2174
01:51:56,439 --> 01:51:59,560
Speaker 1: benefit from from those from those changes, for sure. What

2175
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:05,519
Speaker 1: about defense? Same question on defense, boy, somebody's here, I

2176
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:10,600
Speaker 1: think here's I think your guy benefits from all the

2177
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 1: different changes, and the biggest is the scheme change. I

2178
01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:15,080
Speaker 1: think Charles a man who benefits. I'm with you on

2179
01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:18,400
Speaker 1: that because I think Charles fits as a bounce inside

2180
01:52:18,439 --> 01:52:23,080
Speaker 1: outside guy, which McLean John mclein doesn't like, go with

2181
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:25,639
Speaker 1: me on this, but he's like, two hundred and eighty

2182
01:52:25,680 --> 01:52:29,360
Speaker 1: pounders don't play defensive end. I'm like, how big do

2183
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:31,400
Speaker 1: you think these guys are to play four three defensive end?

2184
01:52:31,600 --> 01:52:34,080
Speaker 1: Pretty drown big? And what he can do though, and

2185
01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm not advocatie for him to be out there full time,

2186
01:52:36,280 --> 01:52:38,240
Speaker 1: but play out there on first, second down and then

2187
01:52:38,320 --> 01:52:40,400
Speaker 1: do the Jonathan Allen thing. Jonathan Allen whos got four

2188
01:52:40,439 --> 01:52:43,240
Speaker 1: years and seventy two million dollars playing outside on first down,

2189
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:45,880
Speaker 1: bumping inside on second and third down to rush quarterback.

2190
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:49,320
Speaker 1: That Charles Amna who and you know well because you

2191
01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:51,639
Speaker 1: saw it at University of Texas, that Charles a mena

2192
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:53,840
Speaker 1: who shows up year three two year three was when

2193
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:56,920
Speaker 1: it happened. That Charles Amner who shows up like when

2194
01:52:56,920 --> 01:52:59,280
Speaker 1: I say yesterday, it's trouble. It's a lot of trouble.

2195
01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:01,120
Speaker 1: And this scheme fits him very very well. You got

2196
01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:04,240
Speaker 1: one more quickie. Yeah, I got one more quickie for

2197
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:07,559
Speaker 1: you guys. Uh, would you rather have a snow game

2198
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:10,519
Speaker 1: or or a game with this current weather? Because you're

2199
01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:12,280
Speaker 1: praying for clouds right now, I want to would you

2200
01:53:12,360 --> 01:53:14,519
Speaker 1: rather have a snow game? Snow all day long? I

2201
01:53:14,640 --> 01:53:20,240
Speaker 1: love snow, you know, a covert Yeah, Johnny wouldn't like it.

2202
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:23,280
Speaker 1: Here's the problem the snow games. Because we had one

2203
01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:25,160
Speaker 1: in Green Bay in twenty sixteen. Like I'm an expert,

2204
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:27,599
Speaker 1: we had one game. By the end in the fourth quarter,

2205
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:30,920
Speaker 1: I was fine, but my feet were soaked. Yeah, and

2206
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:33,719
Speaker 1: there's just no relief and so my feet were just soaked.

2207
01:53:33,720 --> 01:53:36,080
Speaker 1: So I got I got into the locker room. Of course,

2208
01:53:36,160 --> 01:53:38,439
Speaker 1: her coach was mad about things, and so it didn't

2209
01:53:38,479 --> 01:53:42,200
Speaker 1: go so well. And my feet are just frozen, and

2210
01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I mean, it took me about thirty

2211
01:53:44,320 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 1: minutes to kind of thaw everything out, and everything was

2212
01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 1: a little icy on the field. Well, Vincent Taylor was

2213
01:53:50,160 --> 01:53:52,160
Speaker 1: talking about his his feet are went out here. It's

2214
01:53:52,160 --> 01:53:56,280
Speaker 1: like you soaked through your shoes. Yeah, your shoes get squishy, squishy,

2215
01:53:56,439 --> 01:53:57,640
Speaker 1: all right, Land We talked a lot. What do you

2216
01:53:57,680 --> 01:54:00,320
Speaker 1: have coming up on the program? Could things be more

2217
01:54:00,439 --> 01:54:03,400
Speaker 1: green next year for the Houston Texans. We will explain

2218
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 1: that we'll have another player joining us live and Randall

2219
01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:11,320
Speaker 1: Cobb shots fired at the Texans, but should just be

2220
01:54:11,600 --> 01:54:14,920
Speaker 1: appreciative that someone wanted him. He also said that they're

2221
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:17,000
Speaker 1: on the right track. We have that we have. Okay, good,
