1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Bills casting hard with the

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: sack back at the twenty five yard line touchdown, You'll

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: standing rock and roll Trey Mobsmith coast to coast. There

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: is no off season for your Houston Texans. Game day

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: is every day. No, it's Texans, all Exans. Oh yes.

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: Here from the Hyunday Texans radio studio, Mark Vandormer, John

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: Harris with you in the belly of the Beast NRG Stadium. Johnny,

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: how's it going do well? Getting the Harris one hundred

10
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: almost ready to go to submit. Probably about a week

11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: you'll be ready to go. My gosh, I haven't in

12
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: front of me. But it's in like aggregate. It's you

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: don't have any of the rite ups or anything like that.

14
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: You have the right and I'm still I'm still slotting.

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: So there's oh, this is this is a rough draft,

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: rough draft. Okay, okay, well, but when we play who's

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: better at six thirty, I've got a question based on this,

18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: So we'll see which way you go. Yeah, but let's

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: go here right now to the general from the Houston Chronicle,

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer John McClain. General, how's it going doing well?

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: Wait and going to wait and all the Hairs one

22
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: hundred angering you'll have Kyle Hamilton as his number one

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: overall player. Oh, John, you're giving up my secrets. But no,

24
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right number one overall player. Again, the

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: Harris one hundred is not a mock draft. It's player rankings.

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Correct back Quinn Nelson a few years ago at number

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: one and I I mean Tonsil number one at twenty sixteen.

28
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: So it's yeah, based on based on not mock draft,

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: because there'll be some quarterback. I don't in fact, I

30
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: don't think very highly of the quarterbacks because none of

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: them want the Baylor General. That's why that's the problem. Yeah,

32
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: if they're going to Baylor, I might put him in

33
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: the first round for you, General, I hope you have Bay.

34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: I hope you have. Sorry, Mark, we want to talk

35
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: about Baylor, John, I hope you have Baylor's safety Jalen Petrie.

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: Everybody has him rad his second round pick. I hope

37
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: you have him ranked appropriately. He was the only player

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: who committed in Art Brows before Art Brows's last season

39
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: who stayed at Baylor. Every other commitment took off, Petrie stayed.

40
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: That's why they should build a statue to him outside

41
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: Baylor outside McClean Stadium. You know it's John. I actually

42
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: talked to him at the Senior Bowl and you talk

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: about just a wonderful young man. And he's from Stafford.

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: So I asked him about getting that two A one

45
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: area code call if you got it on Draft night,

46
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: and he would he would have been pretty excited and

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: would be pretty excited if that happens. But yes, John,

48
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: I am a huge fan. In fact, in fact, you

49
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: remember last year against Miami, Javon Holland had an interception

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: on the first drive. I think Jaylen Petrie is exactly

51
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: like Javon Holland, is smaller and a smaller package. But

52
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: I love Jaylen Petrie so general, yes, I love him.

53
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: He would be ranked accordingly. You know, Nick's hel phone

54
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: might not be a two eight one, could be a six, one,

55
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: seven or a five. Weeks they're calling from the office

56
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: phone that's eight three, two, yeah, okay, so be ready,

57
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: could be any number of it should all be seven.

58
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: What if this is the phone rings? Answer it? John

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: McLean joining us general, How is the Lovey Smith going

60
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: era going? For you so far, we're a week and

61
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: a half in. Well. I'm partial to love you because

62
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: I've known him for twenty five years, and back when

63
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: teams didn't think the media was the enemy, and when

64
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: Tony Dungey was turning around his team, he listed media,

65
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: talked to his coaches, including national media. Like me. It

66
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: was between the Texans and the Oilers. So I used

67
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: to go over and sit in Lovey's office, Tony Dungey's office,

68
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: talk football with him. Then when love he went to

69
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: the Rams, I was covering the greatest show on turf

70
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: and I got to go hang out with him in

71
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: his office. Because his head coach, Mike March didn't believe

72
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: we were like the gum on the bottom of their shoe.

73
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: I got to know Lovey, so I'm really happy he

74
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: got the job. I asked him a question I knew

75
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: he wouldn't answer first time we talked to him if

76
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: he wanted to be head coach again, and he skirted

77
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: the issue, and I knew that he did, and so

78
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: I'm really happy for him and his family. It doesn't

79
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: matter how you got there. I tell people I use

80
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: as example. Everybody says, well, boy, that Texas screwed this

81
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: up because they were going to hire Josh McCown. Yes,

82
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: they were going to hire a m accoun but then

83
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: somebody came to their senses over there. And it's like

84
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: going from downtown to the Woodlands and you get lost

85
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: on six ten and then you end up on two ninety.

86
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: Then you end up on Sammy Ust Tollway, and then

87
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: you work your way back to forty five and you

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: get to the Woodlands. So you get where you want

89
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: to go, and you get there on time. You just

90
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: took a roundabout way. And that's the way I look

91
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: at the Texas coaching search to get to Lovey Smith.

92
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: It sounds like my wife trying to drive around Houston,

93
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: who does not like to leave her bubble too much.

94
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: That sounds like I have gotten panted called at some

95
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: point I'm out the loop. I'm like, okay, where I

96
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I just feel like I'm going to circles

97
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: and she's gonna hate that. But she's in Los Angeles.

98
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: I could say that general. What's been the reaction that

99
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: you've gotten from emailers, from fans, what's been the overall

100
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: reaction that you've gotten thus far? You know, a little

101
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: over a week and a half since Love, he's been

102
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: named the coach. Well, it's it's At first people were incredulous,

103
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: like they thought it was for fosterous to hire Josh

104
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: McCown with no experience, and then he should start at

105
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: the lower level and work his way up, which I

106
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: think he'll eventually do. And then and then he's like,

107
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: oh well, Love, he Smith's only two games over five

108
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: And I wrote a column I've written, I put it

109
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: in my mailbag, set it on every show in six ten.

110
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: He can't just look at a Rancord judge a man's career.

111
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: If you take away his first year in Chicago, he's

112
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: twenty four games, was over five hundred. That's not too shabby.

113
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: He was fired after ten and six season. He was

114
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: a Coach of the Year, he went to the Super Bowl,

115
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: and he got fired with that kind of record after

116
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: over his last eight seasons. So then he goes to Tampa.

117
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: And by the way, when he was out in the

118
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: one year in twenty thirteen, and he asked me if

119
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: I could get word to Bob McNair that he was

120
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: interested in I called Bob and talked to him and

121
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: he said yes, and they talked on the phone a

122
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: few times, and Bob really liked Love You a lot.

123
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Everybody does, so he had Love He come in for

124
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: an interview, and so I asked McNair I said, look,

125
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: I said, if you're serious about Lovey Smith, I want

126
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: to write a column about it. He said Riot because

127
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: he was pumped. Then the search that the eighth horn

128
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: Ferry told him about a coach at Penn State, and

129
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: when the McNair's went and interviewed him at his house

130
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: on Cape cod Alan, Brian blew him away. They hired him.

131
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: Love He goes to the Bucks, the Bucks of the

132
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: worst team in the league. First year he drafted James Winston.

133
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: They start him and as a ROOKDNA improved by four games.

134
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: They go six and teen. He gets fired and people

135
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: over there told me it's because they wanted to go

136
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: with Dirk Cutter, the offensive coordinator, because they thought he

137
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: would be better for Jamis Winston since they invested so

138
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: much in Winston. So love He gets fired, and he

139
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: told me wrote a column about this. I got unfinished

140
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: business as an NFL head coach. And I don't blame

141
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: him now, I believe, and he'll never say as any regrets,

142
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: but I believe if he had not gone to the

143
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: University of Illino, I say he set out a season,

144
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: he would have had more interviews, taken a defensive coordinator job,

145
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: he would have had more interviews, and I think he

146
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: would have been a head coach before the Texans had

147
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: this opportunity. So you have to look at his career,

148
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: take each individual situation. Shouldn't do a little investigation in

149
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: checking and loving has been a successful NFL head coach.

150
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: And I was asked on my last show in San Antonio,

151
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: could the Texans have stumbled into a good thing? And

152
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: I'd say absolutely, Well. I was surprised that his name

153
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: wasn't coming up for interviews this cycle with other teams

154
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: only because if teams look within If you look at

155
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: the Texans statistical situation defensively in the big numbers, Okay,

156
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: I get it, But when you look within the performance

157
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: that that side of the ball had, considering what the

158
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: offense was not able to do, there were some things

159
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: accomplished here and clearly the man can coach John What

160
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: about the offense? Pep Hamilton? What are we expecting here

161
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: under Pep that will be different than what we saw

162
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: under Tim Kelly. Pep has total controlling offense. All the

163
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: coaches there are and on the side of the ball,

164
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: that's who he wants. He has a history with him.

165
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: Whether that's the right guys remains to be seen. Still

166
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: be the predominant coach of Davis Mills. And one of

167
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: the reasons that Lovey said the first order of business

168
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: was to make sure that Pep state. Now Pep's going

169
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: to be calling plays and if they don't improve the

170
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,239
Speaker 1: running game, he's going to be in the same situation.

171
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: You've got to improve the running game. We know that,

172
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: we know they need offensive lineman. They got big decisions

173
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: to make, and I think one reason James Camping was

174
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: run and he wanted Titus Howard to play guard. He's

175
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: not a guard, he's a tackle. And there were some

176
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: players he wanted that didn't work out. What they got

177
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: to decide with Pep, Pamelaton, Lovey Smith. Do they want

178
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: to keep Larmy Tuns of left tackle? Do they move

179
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: Thynis Howard back to right tackle? If they do, then

180
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: I would go after a guy like Key Aquana, whom

181
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: John was the first person to tell me about him,

182
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: and he is the baddest you know what in the

183
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: offensive line prospects when it comes to run blocking and

184
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: just obliterating people. And John brought up Quenton Nelson. He's

185
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: not Quenton Nelson, but he's got that kind of nasty disposition.

186
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: So what if they took him and then they had

187
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: their two their book entacles. But if they don't get

188
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: a huge improvement up front and it running back, then

189
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: PAP's going to be in the same situation. Last year

190
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: was the worst running game in franchise history, which was

191
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: preposterous and the worst in the league, and the year

192
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: before second worst in the league. So the top priority

193
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: for Necssario and Lovey Smith and pet Hamilton is to

194
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: improve the running game, which helps the quarterback Davids Mills,

195
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: and helps the defense as well. And I'm pumped to

196
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: see about pet Hamilton. Love He said he believes in

197
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: toughness with the running game. Well, Tim Kelly did too.

198
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: But if you know Frek's burkhead as you're starting running

199
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: back and you're starting twelve offensive linement because of injuries

200
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: and co of nineteen, there's no stability with whatsoever. Yeah,

201
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: no doubt, John, I'm gonna play a little game of

202
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: gut reaction. I dude, this with Mark, I'm gonna do

203
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: it with you as it pertains to retaining Texans free

204
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: agents unrestricted free agents going into twenty twenty two. So

205
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna hit you with a few names and

206
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: you give me your gut reaction to what you think happens.

207
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: Let's start in the middle with Justin britt gut reaction.

208
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Does he come back to the Texans or no? Oh,

209
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: Jacob Martin, No, maliek Collins, yes, Camu Grugier Hill absolutely,

210
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: Christian Kirksey ooh boy, that's a tough one. Papa, I'm

211
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: gonna say I'm gonna say yes on Curtesy. He was

212
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: on a one year deal, was he he was anywhere?

213
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: If I believe he'll be he'll be back. But remember

214
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: they only used two linebackers most of the time, but

215
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: they had so many injuries. They got to have depth.

216
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: And I know everybody loves Kurtsey, so yes, one final Well,

217
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: actually they're two more, Desmond King. I'm gonna say no,

218
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: but they need so much in safety and they never

219
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: have enough corners and that might keep them. But I'm

220
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: gonna say no. Okay, and you know where I'm going

221
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: with this final one justin Reid. No, no, I don't

222
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: know why it was. And well now they didn't even

223
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they tried to sign him to an extension,

224
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: So there's something there. They thought he was gonna want

225
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: more money than they wanted to pay him. Another thing

226
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: about giving big bucks, They're not gonna compete for the

227
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: championship this year. Next year. I figured it'll be like

228
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. So you before you start doling out

229
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: big contracts, you to make sure your team is ready

230
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: to compete. And I don't think they'll do that. So

231
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: keeping Malik Collins and Comu gruget Hill, you know, maybe

232
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: they'll get something somewhere else. But I think a lot

233
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: of these players they want to come back. The players

234
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: like having love You there, They like having Pip Hamilton

235
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: in charge of the offense. I think they're intrigued. We

236
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: all know they're in such better shape now they were

237
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: than they were when David Culley took over All of

238
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: Nick Cassario's draft choices showed Pharmacy's got nine picks. Now

239
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: he could end up with ten twelve with Shaun Watson's traded,

240
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: you know he's going to be Trader Nick again like

241
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: he was last year, and Love, you're gonna call the

242
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: defense again if they need a pass rusher opposite Jonathan

243
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: Grenard to me that or the offensive line should be

244
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: the first round pick. Sorry about Kyle Hamilton, John Well,

245
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: but Johnny wants pressure on the quarterback. Tony wants it all.

246
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: Doesn't Who doesn't want it? I mean we, I would

247
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: say we need it, all of it. I mean you

248
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: want it all. You want some pressure and you want

249
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: ball ballhawks. Okay, John, let me add hold on Mark,

250
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm sorry, John, Yes, Okay, say um, the

251
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: first pick is Hutchinson, and say uh say Evan Neil,

252
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: Inkya Kuanu or uh Cavon Thibodeau are there at the

253
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: third pick? Do they go for the offensive lineman or

254
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: do they go for the pass rusher to play opposite

255
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: Jonathan Grenard who was really good in the second year. Now,

256
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: I will tell you Evan Neil or Ikya Quann. If

257
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: it's Evan Neil and it's uh Ikya Kuan and Aiden Hutchinson,

258
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: I would tell you Hutchinson. I just my hunch. My

259
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: hunch is that Thibodeau is um. He needs a little

260
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: bit more glitz and glamor, if you will, and take

261
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: that for how it is. But there are many out

262
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: there that see Thibodeau a little differently than I do,

263
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: and I think the Texas will look at him a

264
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: little differently. But if it's Hutchinson, Neil and a Quantu,

265
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna be really difficult. If they had the number

266
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: one pick in this draft, who are you taking? I

267
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: take Hutchington, Okay, pressure, No, he's gone Hunchings of Dawn.

268
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: There's no way he's getting the two offensive lineman or Tibodeau.

269
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: Who would you take it? Three O the two offensive

270
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: line or Tibodeau. I take one of the offensive lineman,

271
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: and I at that point I can flip a coin.

272
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: And I think some of it does have to do

273
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: with what they do with Laramie, what they do with Titus,

274
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: because I do. Actually, if you want it to, you

275
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: can have both of them at guard. I wouldn't. I

276
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: don't want to if I'm taking a guy at three

277
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: to put him at guard. If I want to maximize

278
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: my assets, I put probably Titus at left, and then

279
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: I take whoever I draft it right, more than likely Um,

280
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: but Neil or a Quantuh. Yeah, I'll take either one.

281
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because with one of those guys, I

282
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: knew I'm want to move people off the ball, and John,

283
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: that's something that this team hasn't done for a while. Interesting, John,

284
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: let's go around the league a little bit here. As

285
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: the Rams won the Super Bowl. One thing I didn't

286
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: like about it was, you know, I don't like this

287
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: guy's gearing up on a team. Let's join the team

288
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: to try to win a ring thing and maybe quarterbacks

289
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: trying to run their way out of town to go

290
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: to a title contender. Not that I'm commenting on anything

291
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: specific here, but what are your thoughts on the Rams?

292
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: The way they put it together and the fact that, hey,

293
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: they got it done. But it wasn't like they blew

294
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: everybody out. These were close playoff games. It was a

295
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: great Super Bowl tournament, just terrific down to the last

296
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: drive for each team. And the Bugs went all in

297
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: the year before, the Rams went all in this year,

298
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: and would another team do that? Well, you better have

299
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback. That's the key. You can go in in

300
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: a lot of positions. If you don't have the quarterback,

301
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: it's not going to work out. I was happy for

302
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: the Rams. I got no problem with poly want considering

303
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: with years left on their contract, they need to do

304
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: what everything they can win a title and get paid,

305
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: because that's what it's all about. And I'm eager to

306
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: see now what team, if any, is going to try

307
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: to add next year, maybe in Seattle, trying to do

308
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: it around Russell Wilson because he says he wants to

309
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: stay and they need a lot and you've got to

310
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: redo contracts you got or trade I picks and bring

311
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: in veterans and at some point you're gonna pay the piper.

312
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: And one team that might have to pay the piper

313
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: is years on the Cardinals. John, What are you making

314
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: this going on with Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. You

315
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: think it's just contractual posturing by Kyler Murrain his agent,

316
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: or you think there's more to this than just some

317
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: of the stuff we saw last week where I think

318
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: it's silly, it's I mature, it's childish. You know, Kyler

319
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: Murray's agent, Eric Burkhart, is Cliff Kingsbury's agent and one

320
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: of his best friends going back to college at Texas Tech.

321
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: So you talk about awkward for Eric Burkhard, but Cliff Kingsbury.

322
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: I'll guarantee has kept up with everything that's going on.

323
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: It's always about the money. Now. He doesn't deserve forty

324
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: million year contract anymore than Baker Mayfield did because they faded.

325
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: He faded, you know, give you a full season. He

326
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: can't go anywhere. He's under contract, though next this year

327
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: they'll pick up his fifth year option. Then they can

328
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: franchise him a couple of years. And they brought in

329
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. They drafted the Purdue receiver in the second round,

330
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: so they've done some things for him. But he's just

331
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: to me, I like a big baby. But they'll get

332
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: it all worked out. John Tennessee, there was a story

333
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: that they're looking into the possibility of a new stadium.

334
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: They're trying to revamp where they're playing right now. It's older,

335
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: it might be cost I don't know, inefficient, I should

336
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: say to do what they want to do with it.

337
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: What do you know about it? What's going to happen

338
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: there in Nashville. Nissan Stadium opened in nineteen ninety nine.

339
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: Everybody was so exciting to get it. They've been playing

340
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: in Memphis and at Vanderbilt, and it does need a

341
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: lot of work. They've been talking about it for the

342
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: last few years, just like energy, stadium needs work. You know,

343
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: fans say, oh my god, the stadium's fine. No, if

344
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: you think about everything that's gone into it. Those stadiums

345
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: have been around a while. So they're starting to say, well,

346
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: it could cost six hundred million or up toward a

347
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: being maybe we need to think about a new stadium.

348
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: Well that's great, but how are they going to pay

349
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: for it? John, Now that we've got all the coaching

350
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: hires in place, Kevin O'Connell the final one with the

351
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: Vikings after as oc of the Rams they won a

352
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship, let's take love You out of this

353
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: because we've talked about Lovey plenty a. Was there a

354
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: big surprise to you be which coach do you think

355
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: that took over is in the best spot to succeed

356
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: early on? And which one do you think might be

357
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: the most disappointing. Well, that's easy because only one took

358
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: over a winner, and that's Josh McDaniels and he hasn't

359
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: quit on him yet. And his good buddy David Ziegler,

360
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: the head of personnelity replaced Nick Cassario, has been in

361
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: the organization forever. And when McDaniels went to the Broncos,

362
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: Ziegler was there with him as a young personnel assistant.

363
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: So they're in lockstep. They take over ten to seventeen,

364
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: could have beaten the Bengals in the wild card round.

365
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: Great stadium, great facility. Players want to go there. They're

366
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: trying to sign Derek Carr to an extension that he

367
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: might make between thirty five and forty million a year.

368
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: So there's no excuses for Josh McDaniels not to win,

369
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: other than maybe Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert. But the

370
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: team that has the most talent with a losing records, Minnesota.

371
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: There's talk Watson is interested in Minnesota. Give me a break.

372
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people might be interested. They're not

373
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: going to have him and Kirk Cousins and their cap

374
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: figures on the team that's assinine and so Texans aren't

375
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: interested in Kirk Cousins. Davis Mills is their quarterback going

376
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: into this season. He'll have a chance to prove himself

377
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: and he takes the next step, he'll get a third step.

378
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: If not, they'll go find a quarterback. In two thousand

379
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: and twenty three, but cousins things makes no difference. I

380
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: had a couple of people from Tampa call me and thinking, well,

381
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: and we'll take Antonio Brown, We'll take anybody. I said, yeah,

382
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: but you're gonna take a guy with twenty two civil

383
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: suits and your peak is too low. You know, Deshaun

384
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: is going to have to at some point go somewhere.

385
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: But one team Miami and the ones that I think

386
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: would be best, Carolina close to Hall in Denver. They

387
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: both won him a lot, and so you know they're

388
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: not gonna trade him in the ANFC South. Maybe they

389
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: preferred Carolina, but there's a lot of things that have

390
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: to happen there. But if he did go to Minnesota

391
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: with those receivers and Dalvin Cook and a good defense boy,

392
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: they'd be a super Bowl contender. Aaron Rodgers might wish

393
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: he hadn't stayed in Green Bay, but hadn't happening. It's

394
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: just us talking here, So I'll ask you this, No

395
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: shot that Miami's still interested. No shot did he make

396
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: that bone call or not? Stephen Ross. Stephen Ross was

397
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: in on getting him, not just Brian Flores. So was

398
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: Chris Greer. They had to trade ready to go and

399
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: then between Thursday night and the deadline he could not

400
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: reach settlements with all twenty two accusers. And so now

401
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, he's praising the heck out of two, as

402
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: he should. Every new coach is praising his quarterback. But

403
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: if you had a chance to have two, a tongue

404
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: of Iloa or Deshaun Watson, that is a no brainer.

405
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: I mean one thing, just because two I can't stay healthy,

406
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's a dead issue. And I

407
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: also wonder people were early last year when the Dolphins

408
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: were so bad? Why would he want to go there?

409
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: And I think South Florida had a lot to do

410
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: with it. Multi millionaires love living on Star Island and

411
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: mansions with pools and boats and yachts and everything, So

412
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: who wouldn't want to live there? But if they're still

413
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: interested now I'm Watson. I don't want to go there.

414
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: If it's proved that Stephen Ross offered Brian Floor is

415
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: one hundred grant to tank every game, they could lose

416
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: a couple of number one draft choices and more, and

417
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: that would not be the ideal place to go. John,

418
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: what do you have going out of the Houston Chronicle

419
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm writing a column for Sunday about now. Lovey Smith

420
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: has been hired. Word of the Texans go from here where.

421
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: Where they're going is to the Combine in Indianapolis to

422
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: get ready for the draft and free agency. It's gonna

423
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: be an exciting off season. Brooks Camino is gonna have

424
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: a lot of stories on the Combine and uh and

425
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: I know Brian Smith had a column yesterday about to

Speaker 1: let's go, let's go. Okay, this I look forward to this.

457
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: I missed this. I would drive home and be like Jack,

458
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: Who's better? My Jack? Dan Fouts or because I know

459
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: how you would answer that Oh yeah, Dan Fouts are

460
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: who fouts? Dan Fouts are philip Rivers? Oh please don't

461
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: insult me. Fouts. Yes, I like to ask all the

462
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: it's the tens of Chargers fans out there. It's not

463
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: fair to compare the eras though. I mean, you drop

464
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: philip Rivers with all this ability and that, you know,

465
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: the late seventies philip Rivers gonna look pretty good. Fouts

466
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: made the three hundred yard game a thing, I know,

467
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: a regular basis. I'm I'm with you, I'm with you

468
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: on this. Yep. Just a thought though, because I think

469
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: of the Chargers made me think of the Rams, which

470
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: made me think of the the parade, which made you

471
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: think of Vince Ferragamo. Just kidding. What would that parade

472
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: have been like if the Rams are still in Saint Louis? Awesome?

473
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: Much better? What if the Chargers win with the pride

474
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: been like in San Diego? Awesome? Much better than that.

475
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: Maybe not as awesome as Saint Louis or any other

476
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: city in America, but certainly better than lak I don't

477
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: want Did the NFL make a mistake and trying to

478
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: put two teams shoehorning two teams into LA. Well, hang on,

479
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a whole other topic. I am

480
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: on the record saying, look the Rams, it's nice in LA.

481
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: And you know I've warned baity memories and all that.

482
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you I always knew this. If

483
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: they don't win, right, if they go eight and eight,

484
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: well they don't. Nobody goes eight and eight anymore, eight nine,

485
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: nine and eight or something. Have a couple of average

486
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: years or whatever however you wanted to find it. The

487
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: attendance plummets. They're plummets. I mean, and look, John, they

488
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: did dominate their way to the super Bowl. They won,

489
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: and it was great. Like McLean said, it was a

490
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: good tournament. All right, Let's get to who's better. Who's

491
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: better among these quarterbacks who are not getting that contract

492
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: extension we think that they covet so much Baker Mayfield.

493
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: These guys are healthy in this scenario, healthy Baker healthy,

494
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray moving forward? Who's better? If you put Kyler

495
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: Murray behind the Browns offensive line? I think things changed

496
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: significantly for Kyler Murray, for Kyler Murray and the Browns.

497
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: His completion percentage is very good, by the way, who Kyler? Yes, yeah,

498
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean sixty nine. I mean Kyler's you'll throw completions.

499
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: Now they do some the Cardinals, we saw they'll throw

500
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: some screens, significant number of screens. But Baker this year

501
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: was just a mess. And Baker was his art. Yeah,

502
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: but why whack Justin Reid? And why was he tackling

503
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: Justin Reeves? He threw an because he was being a

504
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: bone head. He was being a bone head. I mean,

505
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: I understand you got but he I Mark, I watched,

506
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: I was, I mean, you were there, but I'm standing

507
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: right there. I see it. I could see the looking

508
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's eyes from when I'm standing after Justin picked

509
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: it off, and I'm like, he's gonna gonna make this tackle,

510
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna get hurt. And he just throws his arm

511
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: into him and all of a sudden, he's over in

512
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: the sideline. He's bent over. We could you could see

513
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: it from the booth. He was all bent over, his

514
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: arm was all jacked up. I just couldn't tell whether

515
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: it was the right of the left. Like he's the

516
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: old worst than Hims. Murray's problem. He's immature, Okay, He's

517
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: absolutely immature. And the other part of it is really

518
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: not his fault, which is all absolved him of that.

519
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: His offensive line is garbage, hot, stinking garbage. They gotta

520
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: fix that. They make all these other adjustments, positions, why

521
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: not fix that. They got all these flyboys, they got

522
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: all the guys outside, they got Rondell Moore, they got

523
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: hop I mean, zach Ertt he went and got It's

524
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: all great to have people to throw through. It's fantastic.

525
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: And Jamar Chase. I use that as an example because

526
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals were start looking at Penay Soul, who's gonna

527
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: end up being a twelve year linement. He's gonna be fantastic,

528
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: and you have Jamar Chase, who's absolutely fantastic. Now. I

529
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: don't know if the Bengals had the foresight to look

530
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: ahead to the tackles that were coming a year from now,

531
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: because they're gonna end up with Jamar Chasing, presumably, I

532
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: would think a tackle of some sort that's gonna follow

533
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: them at thirty one in this draft. But you gotta

534
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: get that offensive line right. We would flying home Marizona.

535
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: We got our teeth kicked in, and I remember saying

536
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: to you, man, they don't get the offensive line right.

537
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: Kyle's gonna die. Yeah, you did say that he's gonna

538
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: Diefeni because we got some pressure on this from time

539
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: to time. Yes, Okay, Next, who's better? Who's better in

540
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: the eyes of the most QB desperate team in this draft?

541
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: Whoever that might be. You don't even have to define

542
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: the team. But who's better in the eyes of the

543
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: most quarterback desperate team in this draft? Kenny Pickett, Matt

544
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: carral or Malik Willis. Who's gonna go first in this draft?

545
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna move up. You know what's gonna happen. Somebody's

546
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: gonna move up and take one of these guys. I

547
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: think it's Malike Willis they go up for. It's trying

548
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: to think of the right way of saying this, but

549
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: there is there's high risk to all of them. I

550
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: think Kenny's the lowest risk. I think Kenny in the

551
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: fantastic season, I think he can make all the throws.

552
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna be KBI one, but QWI one, two, and

553
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: three are so close. What separates it from me is

554
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: pickets safer and he still can make all the throws.

555
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: He can move out of the pocket. I love that

556
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: little fake slide he's got but they've now outlawed that.

557
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: But Corral is the total wild card, and he's been

558
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: on a site out of mind since the end of

559
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: the season, and that's gonna be an interesting one because

560
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: Karl can sling it. He didn't have the arm malik

561
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: Willis does. Koral can run, and Carral's a lot tougher

562
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: than people think. It comes from a military family. I

563
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: think all of his brothers and his dad were Marines,

564
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: so there's there's a little bit edged him. But similar

565
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: to Willis, Koral can spray it, but he's a little

566
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: bit more consistent throwing the ball and everybody. Trey Young,

567
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: who he loved and ticketing, he made a comment. I

568
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: was like, you know, he's right. He was asking me

569
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: about the heisman and I was kind of going on

570
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: about the heisman. He looked at me, goes, you know, oh, miss,

571
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: top ten are the top ten without Kraal, And he's like,

572
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: that's a good point. I just think in watching Kral

573
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: there's some things he does exceptionally well, so to me,

574
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,719
Speaker 1: he and he and Willis are kind of the same

575
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: shared risk in some sense, but Willis just has a

576
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,959
Speaker 1: little bit more arm strength, probably a little bit more

577
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: dynamic running it, and Kraal was beat up last year

578
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: because he did run it that much. So I'm going Willis.

579
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: I think teams will trade up for a little bit

580
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: more upside. Yeah, the word I hate potential pick. Come on,

581
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: Willis is gonna come in. He's gonna look the part

582
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: of somebody throw. Can you imagine him in Denver and

583
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: at high altitude? How well, man, he's gonna throw like

584
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: eighty Yards'll be all there. We play there this year,

585
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: all right, Texans, Vegas, Chicago, the Giants, Miami, Dallas. Tickets

586
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: at Houston Texans dot Com. By the way, home games

587
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: are good too, Kansas City comes in here among others.

588
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: We're not going to MutS this year. You think, I

589
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: don't think we're going to Munich. No, I don't think

590
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: our hang out a second. You have nine road games,

591
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: right right, Hey, I guess it's a possibility. I mean which, Yeah,

592
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: that would be. That would be. Well, who's gonna lose

593
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: a home game? Though? Dallas is not. We're losing a

594
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: home game. That's not happen. No, that's no. No. Among

595
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: the teams you play Wait wait wait I just thought

596
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: it one what wait? We play Miami, right, they're gonna

597
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: lose a home game? Why not? Because why not? Because

598
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: of the Stevens and Ross stuff that's come out If

599
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: any of that stuff is true, Listen, You're punishment is punishment.

600
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: You're going to Munich to play a team. Listen. I

601
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: might be kicking and screaming going there, but I'm gonna

602
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: have a good time. We'll have a good time in Germany.

603
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: That's the one. That's the one I said I wanted

604
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: to go. Germans all speak English. Yeah, they all learn

605
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: English in school, so we'll be okay. And I'm probably

606
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: not gonna learn German if that happens. I don't want

607
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: listening like, are they going to Germany? No? No, but

608
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: somebody is, and eventually you're gonna go, because eventually you

609
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: go everywhere. Two games. Far more likely to go to

610
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: Mexico City again at some point, with US marketing heavily

611
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: in that area. I'm fine with that. I didn't think

612
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: I back in twenty sixteen when it was announced we're

613
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: going to Mexico City. It's coming. I don't know, man,

614
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: And we went there other than the game itself, and

615
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: other than climbing all those ramps and stairs to get

616
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: to the tops. All right. I enjoyed it the whole weekend,

617
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: everything that went with it. The game's atmosphere was incredible.

618
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: I took a walk, but I had a tether attached

619
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: between me and the hotel, like a like a big

620
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: bungee cord, so I could just pull on it and

621
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: pull myself back to the hotel. That's what I know.

622
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,959
Speaker 1: It was beautiful there. It looked Europe. It was fantastic,

623
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: old city, gorgeous. All right, Who's better Johnny out of

624
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: division running back? So no John Taylor, no Derrick Henry.

625
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: Who's best? Chubb mixing? Harris Cook? Go? Who do you want?

626
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: Harris Damien, Harris Naji? Harris Oh Naji, Harris um Oh?

627
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: I want Chubb? Oh? Absolutely? You kid me Nick? Give

628
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: me Nick Chubb all day long. Okay. He's a hammer

629
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: and he's quiet, he's humble. He destroys people. When Nick

630
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: Chubb is healthy and that offensive line is relatively healthy,

631
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: he exacts the punishment. I think he's more key of

632
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: the Browns than than anything defense, offense, special teams. If

633
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: Chubb's healthy, Yep, they can come on. Let Kareem hunt too. Yeah,

634
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: let's let that that combination. I mean We saw it

635
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. I mean we saw it in twenty

636
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty one up in Cleveland. We saw that

637
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: they Chubbs and the rest bringing Hunt. He hammers on you.

638
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: Here comes Chubb again. It was a really, you know,

639
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: kind of good back and forth. But if they don't

640
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: have that bootleg game going off of that, then they're

641
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: screaming safety's coming down and you just tackle Chubb and

642
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: Hunt with a bunch of volume. But I'm taking Nick Chubb.

643
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: I have been a huge Nick Chubb fan. Just love

644
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: his running style. He's a credible athlete. He's come back

645
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: from injury. Yeah, Nick Nick Chubb all day, every day. Okay,

646
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: who's better? Media question? Because these guys are always in

647
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: the news. Who's the better hot take artist? They're no

648
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: longer together, stephen A Smith or Skip Bayliss. Who's best here?

649
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: Hot take artist? Go? I can stand stephen A. I

650
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: can stand him. I cannot at all. I can't even

651
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 1: when I hear his voice and I hear him starting

652
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: something I want to it's nails on a chalkboard to

653
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: me for Skip Bayliss. Yeah, I know stephen A. I

654
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: can at least, I mean Steven A has made some

655
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: major Yeah, Henry right, I mean one of them. I'm

656
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: in the one year when he was like, why did

657
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: they kick it on Why didn't they kick it on

658
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: third down? There's a playoff game, and he was like,

659
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: why did they kick it on third down? Because they

660
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: miss it. They just get the ball back on fourth down.

661
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, stephen, Ay, that'd be awesome if

662
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: that was the case. Yeah, just keep kicking fuels the

663
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: first second and third down, keep kicking it until you

664
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:38,919
Speaker 1: make it. That'd be awesome. I can stand kind of Steve.

665
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: I like stephen A though. At the Super Bowl radio

666
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: row in oh nine. Lopez knows him. He used to

667
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: be on a show quite frankly, which was an early

668
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: stephen A Smith show, and we had stephen A Smith

669
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: and Miss Florida reading lines from a movie on the show,

670
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: and stephen A was all into it. It was awesome.

671
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: He was super nice. So I really I've heard behind

672
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: the scenes that he is super nice. He's a pretty

673
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: laid back you know. That was my experience. Anyway, maybe

674
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 1: it was Lopez helping out. Lopez was a human shield. Okay.

675
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: By the way, when it comes to stephen A Smith,

676
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: the best thing there's ever been is the Stephen A

677
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: Smith sock puppet at the NBA draft. Oh my gosh,

678
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: have you ever seen this? Well, it sounds like it

679
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: sounds like triumph. I'm kna it is it stepted the

680
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: sock puppet at the NBA and that oh why because

681
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't know the guys anymore. I know, but I

682
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: love the I just love the draft. But Stephen ats up.

683
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: He was up on the He's up on the podium

684
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 1: and he started eating cheese doodles. It's a Smith. The

685
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: sock puppet was just losing it. He interviewed Yai Noah

686
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: the sock puppet it is. It was like, who's doing

687
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: the voice? I can't remember, but it's but it sounds good. Yeah,

688
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: but it's pretty good. It's good. YA knows the kind

689
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: of guy that would actually not the younger Noah Jokiem

690
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 1: Noah Jokiem Noah Yannick Sun, the basketball player of Florida,

691
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: and he's wearing his sear sucker suit and he kind

692
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: of at first is looking at him like what that

693
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: And after about four or five steps you realize it's

694
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: it's funny. It's good. It's good, all right, Texans have

695
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 1: quarterback Davis Mills coming in. What else should they do? Though?

696
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: How should they fortify this offense? In twenty twenty two

697
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,160

712
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 1: Aaron John Harris with you on the Hubbay Texans Radio

713
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: Studio Live. And I thought we'd talk about the offense

714
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: and I think we will. I think we will. I

715
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: just had some other thoughts pop into my brain during

716
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: the commercial break, which happens, Yeah, a stream of consciousness

717
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: or radio stream of consciousness. Six ten. So major League

718
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: Baseball with the work stoppage right now. Look, the NFL

719
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: has been through this kind of stuff too, but they

720
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: avoided labor strife and manage to come up with a

721
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: new deal after ten years of labor peace. Well before

722
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 1: that expired. Actually that began in twenty eleven, right, because

723
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: we all remember the lockout of twenty eleven's offseasons. But

724
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: here's the thing about the NFL. The lockout is still interesting,

725
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: right If there was a lockout right now, it would

726
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: still be interesting, Well, what's gonna happen to this? I

727
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: know baseball is like what's gonna happen to Carlos, Korea?

728
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen here? What's gonna happen there? However, pictures

729
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 1: and catchers would be reporting right now. Correct, you're missing that.

730
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: And that's kind of cool about your sport that you

731
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: start to see the sprouts of the season, right and

732
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: especially when you live up north where it's freaking freezing

733
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: and you hear about people in Florida and in Phoenix,

734
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, that's so nice. Spring training and

735
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: you make trips, you make plans. Wait, who is is

736
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: it ron? Who made plans? One of the six ten hosts?

737
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. Somebody made plans, making plans to

738
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: go to some spring training games and now that's over.

739
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: That's always a fun trip. I mean, I love to Jacksonville.

740
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: And there were people in Jacksonville. They were like, yeah,

741
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm going down to West Palm or I'm going down wherever.

742
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: And they will go. You know, take a weekend of

743
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: games part of your whole thing. That's part of what's

744
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: cool about your sport. You're gonna blow it here. I

745
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: learned today that sixty nine percent of baseball play Major

746
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: League Baseball players earned under a million dollars last year.

747
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: I know that sounds like whoe is Me to the

748
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 1: general public, but that's kind of ridiculous when you consider

749
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: some of the big money handed out to the big

750
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: name players. I know, the big name players. It's the

751
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: eighty twenty rule. Twenty percent of the people gonna earn

752
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the money. I get it, But the

753
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,959
Speaker 1: minimum salary for a major league baseball player is less

754
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: than the minimum salary for an NHL player. Now, I'm

755
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: usually pro management a lot of this stuff, because you know,

756
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: these guys gotta run the sport. Yeah, but I think

757
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: he got to even it out a little bit with

758
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: these guys and certainly with the teams. Another bit of information.

759
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: I heard this from Tom Ducci. Verducci, by the way,

760
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: he was on a national show. Another thing I heard

761
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: was the parking lot revenue and Dodgers Stadium is more

762
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: than what the Pirates get on their TV deal. That way,

763
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: something's wrong. What Yes, I heard that the parking at

764
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: Chavez Ravine is worth more than the Pirates television contract.

765
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: That's a problem, and that's why. That's why the Maras

766
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: and Pete Roselle did a fantastic thing. They said, we're

767
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: gonna make the TV money even across the National Football League.

768
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: That's why you can have a competitive green Bay Packers. Otherwise,

769
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 1: what are they making in Green Bay? They're not making

770
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: the parking lot revenue of you know, Jacksonville in Green

771
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 1: Bay if if they don't have revenue sharing with the televisions.

772
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's that Major League Baseball has always had

773
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: these issues though they've always had some sort of labor

774
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: strife and and it's it's always been there, and it's

775
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: always been the haves and the have nots. Yeah, always,

776
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: And there are places that go into the year going, oh,

777
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: I know we've got no shot. I know we've got

778
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: no shot. Teams in the NFL very rarely you're going out, No,

779
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: not going to happen. Look how many teams were in

780
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 1: it late Yes, unfortunately the Texans weren't one of them.

781
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: But so much we were going over this. It was

782
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: something like seventy five percent of the league still had

783
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: a shot with like five weeks to go. It was

784
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: some ridiculous stat like that, so many teams still had

785
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 1: a shot. And looking how close these playoff games were

786
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: so close, everybody one play here there. I mean, it's

787
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,479
Speaker 1: you know what. We had our little business ops event

788
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: yesterday for the Houston Texans. And congratulations to Omar Mazoom,

789
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: director of public Relations Media Relations, who won the Spirit

790
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: of the Bull Award. That's an internal war, but he

791
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: really deserved it. Did a fantastic job of his outstanding crew. Anyway,

792
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: they had on one of the screens replay of the

793
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: Bucks Rams playoff game and I was watching it to

794
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: the Bucks come back, and I'm thinking, man, those Rams

795
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: they allowed the Bucks to come back. They almost blew

796
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: that game. They could have been out right then. I mean,

797
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: Cooper cup fum on the ball, which was odd. I mean,

798
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: but both of you stay mistakes all over the place.

799
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: But you know, it's part of the NFL's stuff. It

800
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: still was one compelling, let's all get out game, that's

801
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: the thing. It wasn't always well played, but compelling. Chef.
