1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the Weekend. Mark vandermir and John

00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 1: at eight am to take you to the fields in

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: West Virginia where the team will continue camp and get

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: you ready for the first preseason game a week from

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow at Minnesota three o'clock start time. Looking forward to

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: that and a lot of things happening, a lot of

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: things happening that we got to go over here tonight.

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: We'll go over the day eight John Harris highlights, Harris

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: hits of practice. We'll do that, and we won't talk

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: about Carlos Correa. But good for the Astros. That's nice.

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: But I wanted to just mention at the very least

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: that ESPN has This is a report that broke earlier today.

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: Agreed to purchase NFL network Red Zone, various NFL media properties.

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: This is a huge billion dollar type deal and ESPN

18
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: had to do it.

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: They had to do this because.

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Zone is that valuable in itself and the NFL network

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: does get some subscriber fees. I have no idea how

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: they're going to handle that. They'll anounce more formal plans

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: perhaps next week, but I think red Zone alone will

24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: be huge for ESPN. However, the fear is John, the

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: fear is among the fans that they're going to ruin

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: red Zone, that they're going to sully it up with

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: commercials or whatever else.

28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: No, I know we've had more.

30
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: Advertising on Red Zone recently, but it's done in a

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: way that doesn't really interfere with things. I can't have

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: commercial breaks in red Zone. I can't have him. Can't

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: do it. No, cannot do it. Gotta have action constantly. Now, look,

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: can you go box and go do a thirty second

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: box here, box there, and you know, help pay the

36
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: freight for this because you're doing it because you want

37
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: that audience. I don't know how they're going to work

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: it out. It's not gonna be the same, though, I.

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 4: Would imagine it's not that that fear is always there

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 4: when something is purchased. We saw this this week when

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 4: I think there's a private equity group that is purchasing

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 4: a share or purchasing out Shipley Donuts, and it's like WHOA,

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 4: And I remember people got all panicked when Waaberger was

44
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 4: purchased by some group in Chicago. So there's always a

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 4: fear of how they going to change the things that

46
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: I like. So one thing I read that I thought

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 4: was interesting was this is gonna be there's gonna have

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: to be regulatory review of this that could take from

49
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 4: nine to twelve months.

50
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

51
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: If it goes into effect next.

52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 4: Season, it would be part of a big year for

53
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: ESPN as a twenty twenty six year ends with ESPN's

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: first Super Bowl. That game will also be on ABC,

55
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 4: So that's a nice that's a nice little boost.

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: But we'll see.

57
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: But this has been rumored for years, this whole ESPN

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: NFL media merger thing, trade whatever it has been rumored

59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 4: for years. So now there, it seems, is an outline

60
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: to what it is that ESPN is getting, what NFL

61
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: is getting. It's been interesting to watch. We know people

62
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: with the network that have been with the network are

63
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 4: still with the network and when you ask them, they're.

64
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: Like, I have no idea, I don't know what this audiens,

65
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: you know.

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: So we're hoping for them that there will be other

67
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: programming and there will be more programming and they can

68
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 4: keep jobs and keep us entertained with the NFL network.

69
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: But I'm with you.

70
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 4: There are some things you just Red Zone and Scott

71
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 4: Hansen are good as they are and will continue to

72
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 4: get better. Leave them alone, Leave Britney alone.

73
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: You leave Brittany alone on the Red Zone channel.

74
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it.

75
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get to this Texans training camp. We saw

76
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: some things. It was another day in pads.

77
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: What is this?

78
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: Four consecutive days and pads with a day off yesterday.

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: But they were out there in pads.

80
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna be in pads tomorrow

81
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: to travel tomorrow afternoon late to get to the Greenbrier.

82
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: But what did you see?

83
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a little lead in here. Okay,

84
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: defense making some plays here, Johnny and defense make a place.

85
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: I've got this Matt Burke take. Everyone's talking about Matt Burke.

86
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: He's got the walkie talkie called defensive plays. Listen, here's

87
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: what I would do if I were Matt Burke. Okay,

88
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: I got the walkie talkie. Okay, will go in and

89
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 1: reck shop, go in and mess this play up. Will

90
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: do your thing with Daniil, You do your thing? Will

91
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: you do yours, everybody else just kind of cover somebody okay,

92
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: okay out and that's very effective out there.

93
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: They're making that part of it look really easy. The

94
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 4: coverage has been just phenomenal, and there's been the obviously

95
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 4: there's a lot of talk before the year about this

96
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 4: being the best secondary in the league and they're playing

97
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 4: up to it. They're really challenging the offense. They're they're

98
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 4: playing up to that level. They they can cover all

99
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: over the field. And again we've talked about, you know

100
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 4: what the offenses dealing with every single day, but the.

101
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: Defenses, it's at a different level.

102
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: And when when you get a chance to see Will

103
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 4: Anderson Junior work up close, and we have that fortunate

104
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 4: opportunity to watch every single practice and watch him up

105
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 4: close twenty four to seven.

106
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 2: Right now, he's just everything he's doing is working.

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: Yep.

108
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: I mean it's like Steph Curry. It's like everything he

109
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 4: throws at the baskets going in. He has different ways

110
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: to win now, which is scary because when he first

111
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 4: got in the league, it was you know, he's talked

112
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: about it, he's been very open about it.

113
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 2: It's been more chronicled about. You I got to finish

114
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: the quarterback better. And you know he would have one move.

115
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: You know, his power was impressive, or maybe he do

116
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 2: long arm.

117
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 4: Now he's doing swipes and all kinds of stuff getting

118
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 4: the quarterback. And then on the other side, you've got

119
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 4: fifty five who's got such a litany of pass rush moves.

120
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 4: And they work together too. They don't you don't see

121
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: the two of them when they rush. You don't see

122
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 4: them end up at the same spot. They don't both

123
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 4: end up running past the quarterback high right. They might

124
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: have one underneath and one over the top, so they're

125
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 4: gonna clamp in a quarterback like they're in sync with

126
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 4: one another with how they rush.

127
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: And that has been that's been really, really good.

128
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 4: And the thing is is, I wouldn't sit here and

129
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 4: tell you the offensive line has been completely dreadful.

130
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: I wouldn't tell you that. I think the offensive line

131
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: has a good moments.

132
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 4: They've had much better protection, I would say, than they

133
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: had at this time last year.

134
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that.

135
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: But you still want to see more from the offense.

136
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 4: But to me, the secondary has gotten The secondary is

137
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: so in tune to what's going on, and they're so good,

138
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: such good cover guys. You throw Chauncey Gardner, c J. Gardner,

139
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: Johnson there with Cavin block, It's like, come on, geez,

140
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: this is this is even fair.

141
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: So my take on the Will Anderson Jr. Against any

142
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: right tackle situation as this, there's not a right tackle

143
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: in this camp that can block Will Anderson. The good

144
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: thing is there might not be too many in the

145
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: league who can block.

146
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 2: Will Anderson Jr.

147
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: So that's really good information right there. Yeah, Adams Daniel

148
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: takes the side over the left tackle and Will takes

149
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: the right tackle. I know they have actually switched it.

150
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: I've seen it here, but Will more often than not

151
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: over the right tackle. And poor Ursery as a rookie

152
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: has to deal with this guy in his third year

153
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: ready to eat.

154
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: And that's what Kole Popovich and Nick Kyley have to

155
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: remind Ariante, like, look, you're facing the best there is,

156
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 4: so hold up against him. Use these techniques. Let's work

157
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: on these techniques. Once you get to the games, it's

158
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: gonna feel easier because you're facing guys that aren't those

159
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: two and that's gonna make things a lot easier. Now,

160
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: there's some really good pass rushers that Texans are gonna face.

161
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: He's gonna face Jared Vers week one, You're gonna face Latu.

162
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 5: With the Colts, you know.

163
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: Trayvon Walker can be a handful and josh Heinz Allens,

164
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: they're both handfuls.

165
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: Well, Anderson is going to be the toughest that he's

166
00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: probably gonna face.

167
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 4: So it's some point you get comfortable where you can

168
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 4: hang on for dear life. If you want to go

169
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: that direction, you'll get better. You'll get better by facing

170
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: Will Anderson Junior. So I'm not dismayed really with the

171
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 4: offensive lines performance.

172
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: I'm really not.

173
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 4: The receivers are just getting clamped down because this secondary

174
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: is so good, and I think there's more to this

175
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: offense than we just haven't seen yet. I think they're

176
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: gonna be a few more opportunities well you know that.

177
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, there's gonna be a.

178
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: Few more opportunities for the offense to do some different things,

179
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: present some different looks for for this.

180
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: For this defense.

181
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 4: I think there have been times where the offensive line

182
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 4: has opened some good holes in the run game. They've

183
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 4: thought a nice job running some duo and some interior

184
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 4: stuff that it looked that looks good.

185
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: Like Nick I thought had a couple of good runs.

186
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: I have an asterisk as.

187
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: I go through I always kind of asterisks a nice

188
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: play that I want to make sure I mentioned.

189
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: I put it.

190
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 4: I had an asters play on a Nick Chubb inside

191
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 4: run today I thought was pretty good.

192
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: I thought it was blocked well.

193
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 4: So I think this team is going to be what

194
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 4: Demiko wanted it to be originally, and that is he

195
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: said at the press conference, is like, the Texans are

196
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 4: going to be a physical football team. Yeah, and I

197
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 4: think the offensive line is finding that out. Like I

198
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 4: said when I at the end of the Texas training

199
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 4: camp a lot today when I watched one on ones,

200
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 4: I've seen that period the first time at least twelve times.

201
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: But even before that, I've seen the offense get absolutely

202
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: just murdered in a situation, just destroyed. That really wasn't

203
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 4: the case. They held up really well, I thought into

204
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 4: one on one. So it shows you, hey, there's some

205
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 4: talent there, there's some grit, there's some toughness there. It

206
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 4: just needs a little bit more time to be seasoned.

207
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: And I won't go back to my chicken analogy. It

208
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 4: just needs a little bit more time to be seasoned.

209
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: Okay, no more chicken, No more Chicken.

210
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: What was interesting to me was standing with dy Kalou

211
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: at his son Jonah. Yeah, he was senior in high

212
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: school and he was doing basic play by play on

213
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: everything Will Anderson Junior was doing.

214
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, look look at him do this, look at him.

215
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: Move that way, look at him, look at him, come

216
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: to the sideline, look at the body language, look at

217
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: the leadership, look at the energy. You know, just really

218
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: going over everything Will's doing, and more intense and detailed

219
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: stuff as well. And I thought this is pretty interesting

220
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: because Ndy spent twelve years of the NFL has been

221
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: around a lot of good players. He was a good player,

222
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: so that was not eye opening so much, but really

223
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: interesting stuff as we get ready for the twenty twenty

224
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: five campaign.

225
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: You know another guy I thought had a really good day,

226
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 4: and I think he's had a number of good days,

227
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 4: and that's the zero zizel Shire. I think as has

228
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 4: been really really good. When they went to it, there

229
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 4: was one team dro they went to and I just

230
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: remember Aziz before the snap just took both hands and

231
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: was like pah pie is like pop in his helmet

232
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 4: and they ran an inside play and he read it

233
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 4: from jump and got to jump on it and just poh,

234
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: like right.

235
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: At the line of scrimmage, just beautiful pop.

236
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 4: I think it was Nick, and I'm like, dang, it

237
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 4: was really impressive. He's been really impressive in coverage. I

238
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: think he has played about like you would want him to.

239
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: Well, can't wait to see more. We'll see it at

240
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: the Greenbrier. We'll see it tomorrow morning, and you'll continue

241
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: to describe it on Harris hits on Houston Texans dot com.

242
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: So later on of the show, Graham Mertz quarterback Dye Kalu,

243
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: we'll hear from him. We visited with him. But first

244
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: Nick Keley was a guest on In the Loop, the

245
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: Offensive Coordinator sat down with Reggie and John.

246
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: Nick, how's going this's going?

247
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: Good?

248
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 5: Man? About you guys?

249
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 6: Terrific? Absolutely terrific.

250
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 7: H I mean, we've heard a ton about the energy

251
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 7: and excitement that you bring out here, man, Like, how

252
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 7: have you enjoyed the ways that at least your team

253
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 7: has responded to the the you know camp and been

254
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 7: able to you know, kind of get work done thus far.

255
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's it's you know, like can't play

256
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 8: anything else, but it's with great energy. The guys are

257
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 8: coming to work every day. That's all you can ask for.

258
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 8: Try to have fun, try to keep pushing each other.

259
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 8: The guys, you know, got a great group of people

260
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 8: that makes it's it's people that makes the play. So players, coaches,

261
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 8: you know, long way to go, but making progress.

262
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 9: And obviously you know offensive coordinator you've got. We've all

263
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 9: talked about your experience and where you've been. My question was, listen, like,

264
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 9: anytime you get to that that seat, you know you're

265
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 9: not you know, you're the guy making the calls. As

266
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 9: much as you're influenced here and you're influenced there. You

267
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 9: kind of like to put your own stamp on things too.

268
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 9: You know, how has that been going for you in

269
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 9: terms of I mean, again, you don't have to like

270
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 9: necessarily we're gonna do this, but in terms of putting

271
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 9: your own stamp and some of the things you like

272
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 9: to do on this phone.

273
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, well, first and foremost, I think it's

274
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: a philosophy.

275
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 8: I think everything that we try to do we want

276
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 8: to do to put our players in the best position possible,

277
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 8: the ever players. You know, not everyone players the same,

278
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 8: but I would say the overriding philosophy starting with is

279
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 8: being you know, a fundamentally sound physical outfit that'll play

280
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 8: you know, good situational football and be mentally tough. I mean,

281
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 8: so everything we're doing, you know, really starts with that.

282
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 7: All right, So I want to talk a little bit

283
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 7: about myself, which I might do too much, but this right,

284
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 7: this is my first time being able to cover camp,

285
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 7: and one of the things I've been asking a lot

286
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 7: of the players is like, what's kind of the advice.

287
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 10: What's some of the things that they've had early.

288
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 7: On in you know, in camp that they've appreciated for camp, Like,

289
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 7: is there a piece of advice that you've given or

290
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 7: piece of advice that you maybe you've gotten about, you know,

291
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 7: operating in training camp and especially maybe even for you

292
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 7: as a first time play call it up.

293
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think just being totally present day by day,

294
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 8: not looking beyond the day that you're at, trying to

295
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 8: you know, improve your fundamentals and just stack positive days,

296
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 8: refine fundamentals, whether that's releases, whether that's hand placement in

297
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 8: the run game, doing things like that, and then building

298
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 8: off of you know, what we're doing schematically, like trying

299
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 8: to you know, obviously have compliments to the things that

300
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 8: we're doing, and that starts with just establishing a foundation,

301
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 8: which we did in spring. We re established that here

302
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 8: at the start of training camp, and now we're trying

303
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 8: to improve the things that you know might show up

304
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 8: and refine some of the details here to carry us forward.

305
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 10: How do you keep yourself from getting sped up?

306
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 7: Obviously you are a guy who cares a lot about fundamentals.

307
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 10: I've heard you mentioned that a lot of times.

308
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 7: But also it can be very easy to get to

309
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 7: a space where I want to get to the place

310
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 7: where we're doing the things that we ultimately want to

311
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 7: get to.

312
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 10: How do you keep yourself from getting yet?

313
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 8: Just remind ourselves that, look, every good play begins and

314
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 8: ends with with good fundamentals. So if you're going to

315
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 8: put in a thousand things, but you can't get past

316
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 8: you know, the one hundred level of you know, hitting

317
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 8: blocks the proper way, identifying the mic point, uh, you know,

318
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 8: aligning properly when you break the huddle like then then

319
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 8: you're just gonna there's gonna be a bucket that just

320
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 8: continues to overflow. So there's a progression to it all

321
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 8: like anything else. And you know, I believe that that starts,

322
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 8: you know, the early part of training camp, the early

323
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 8: part of off season program, and then you stack it

324
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 8: from there and you assess it every day. Like you know,

325
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 8: you you can hit pause. You don't have to just

326
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 8: continue to plow through an installation. If you feel like

327
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 8: you need to take a break, then you have a

328
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 8: review day and you stack days and you.

329
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 5: Tweak things as you go.

330
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 8: Have you had to do those, well, No, we manage

331
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 8: after about three or four days. You know, you're always

332
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 8: juggling things around, moving things up, maybe pushing things back

333
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 8: a little bit.

334
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: So that's normal.

335
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 9: One of the things that that I always find interesting

336
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 9: by a leader, and obviously you're leading the offense, is

337
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 9: I don't have all the answers, you know, I'm more

338
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 9: I'm collaborating. Sure, so I wanted to kind of get

339
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 9: your thoughts on because you know, you we all know

340
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 9: your background. Yeah, tight ends, offensive line passing coordinator, et cetera. Yeah,

341
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 9: but Cole Popovich, Jarrad Johnson bring different backgrounds.

342
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 4: Sure.

343
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 6: What has that collaboration been.

344
00:14:59,200 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 5: It's been great.

345
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 8: I mean, and I don't have all the answers, you know,

346
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 8: you rely on It's about people and we have a

347
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 8: great staff of guys, and I truly believe that we're

348
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 8: trying to collectively do this, you know, with every one

349
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 8: of our guys at the forefront of every single decision

350
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 8: we make. So we talked through things, we poke holes

351
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 8: and things. Obviously we have a philosophy that we established

352
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 8: when I came here, things that I want to do,

353
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 8: but there's also things that these guys have done really

354
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 8: well too.

355
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 5: You don't just throw them away.

356
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 8: They're good at certain things and they've had success at

357
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 8: certain things. And there's also guys that have experiences, you know,

358
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 8: in other systems and bring some unique perspective to the table.

359
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 8: And I think that's the beauty of a staff. It's

360
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 8: not about me, it's not about any one person. It's

361
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 8: about honestly collectively doing what's right for the team and

362
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 8: trying to get better every day.

363
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 7: Now we talk about relationships as we're sitting here to

364
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 7: shut and Nick Cayley, the offense Corniard of your Texans,

365
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 7: and I mean, the man who previously held your position

366
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 7: was one of Dimico's friends. And now I don't know

367
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 7: how much of a relationship you've had prior, but how

368
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 7: has that working relationship started kind of coalesced with Dimiko.

369
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been great.

370
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 8: I mean, he's consistent and fair every single day. He's

371
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 8: a great person, great leader. You know, he's been in

372
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 8: the same position that I've been in, you know, at

373
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 8: one point as a first time coordinator. So that's it's

374
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 8: been good getting to discuss certain things, certain situations as

375
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 8: we go, you know, growing every day.

376
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 5: He pours into everybody. It's it's been it's been an

377
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 5: awesome experience getting to work with him.

378
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 9: One thing to Miko has said is, you know, everybodys

379
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 9: talking about the offensive line for obvious reasons. It's you know,

380
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 9: some new faces and such. And he said, there's gonna

381
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 9: come a point. I'm paraphrasing, but he said, there's gonna

382
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 9: come a point where we're gonna have our group and

383
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 9: we're gonna want them to get reps together.

384
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 6: I'm sure you're in that same boat.

385
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 9: But you know, how do you how does the where

386
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 9: does that light bulb happen?

387
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 6: And how do you judge? Like, Okay, I think this

388
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 6: is the group.

389
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 5: I think it naturally progresses everywhere I've been.

390
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 8: I mean I feel like, you know, at some point

391
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 8: in the first couple of weeks, things start to sort

392
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 8: themselves out. There's there's a level of consistency. Some guys

393
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 8: will be a little bit more consistent, you know, in

394
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 8: their relatively you know, their their role, their respective role.

395
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 8: So you assess that, you look at it and you

396
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 8: find the most consistent players that you know, you know

397
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 8: what you're getting out of every single day.

398
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 5: And you know that starts to you know.

399
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 8: Manifest itself right around the second week sometimes and sometimes

400
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 8: it's later.

401
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 5: There's position battles that always happened, but you know, you

402
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 5: know what's gonna happen. Yeah, yeah, definitely, Nick.

403
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 7: Do you ever go over to Matt and give him

404
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 7: a little you know, elbow and fifty fifty five? Can

405
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 7: you can you tell chill out a little bit a

406
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 7: little bit?

407
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 3: No?

408
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 5: No, he he.

409
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 8: Turns to loose every single day. He's a great, great coorternator.

410
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 8: We got a great defense. It makes us better. They

411
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 8: give us great challenging looks from day to day. But

412
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 8: it's it's great, it's gonna make us better.

413
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 9: Now this is you know, we haven't talked about shout

414
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 9: at all, and it's new. You know, he wanted control,

415
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 9: more control. I should say he's getting more control. He's

416
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 9: making calls. What has that progression been like, because it

417
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 9: seems like even from Worre sitting, we're starting to see

418
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 9: some things.

419
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

420
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 8: No, he's been great. He's attacked, he's had a great attitude.

421
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 8: He loves football, and you know, he comes to work

422
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 8: every day. He asks great questions. He has a great

423
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 8: mind for the game. So he's been he's been all

424
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 8: in and I've been very pleased with everything that he's

425
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 8: he's brought to the table.

426
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: I really have I enjoy working with him.

427
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 7: Something I know that you probably think a lot, especially

428
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 7: when we ask you questions, is how much less we know.

429
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 5: About football than you guys.

430
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 7: And so if you can help me out, Like we've

431
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 7: all been very interesting in getting in the mind of CJ,

432
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 7: especially as he's getting ready to you know, have these

433
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 7: plays out here and it's obviously there's more of it.

434
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 7: Can you take us inside, Like, can you give us

435
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 7: some insight into what's the workload with CJ? In the

436
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 7: huddle pre snap and maybe even in that in the

437
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 7: in you know, when that play gets going.

438
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 8: Oh, I mean I think there's a lot to it.

439
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 8: I think it starts obviously in the classroom. I mean

440
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 8: you start learning the plays. You learn the intent of

441
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 8: the plays. But there's a lot of mechanics. I mean,

442
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 8: you're you're sitting there, you're getting the grouping in. You're he's,

443
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 8: he's receiving the play. He's he's calling the play. We're

444
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 8: obviously setting the table, whether it's you know, adjusting anything

445
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,239
Speaker 8: based on the mic points, you know, coordination with the

446
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 8: line motions, movements, anything like that. He's he's, he's obviously

447
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 8: starts with him and and then you know, getting to

448
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 8: go when the when the ball snapped. I mean, he's

449
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 8: a great processor and you know we're trying to again

450
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 8: that goes down to putting our guys in position to

451
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 8: make plays, and he does a good job of getting

452
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 8: everybody involved.

453
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 9: Another thing with this offense, again, from from the eight

454
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 9: days that we've been out here, I'm really fascinating with

455
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 9: the tight ends.

456
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 6: I think there's a lot of options there.

457
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 9: I think there's this is me talking to me, you know,

458
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 9: so I think this is something that traditionally, you know,

459
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 9: a Patriots style offense, for lack of a better way,

460
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 9: has used a lot of tight ends. Do you in

461
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 9: your mind's eye, do you see how do you visualize

462
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 9: the tight ends? Position working out.

463
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've been very pleased with I think Jay Morland's

464
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 8: done an exceptional job. I think he's an outstanding tight

465
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 8: end coach and a coaching I mean just a coach

466
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 8: in general. But it's done a great job with that group.

467
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 8: They've all improved. I think we have a very good room,

468
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 8: a deep room, all a little different, which is good.

469
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 8: And I think you can utilize different strainths you know accordingly,

470
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 8: and I'm excited.

471
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 5: I think, you know, no question.

472
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 8: I feel like, again I've said this before, maybe a

473
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 8: little biased, but you know, when you have tough tight ends,

474
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 8: when you have versatile tight ends, that's the straw that

475
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 8: serves the drink. That's that's a position group that can

476
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 8: truly enhance toughness. It can you know, add you know,

477
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 8: different elements in the C and D gap area, run

478
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 8: past conflict, et cetera. And I think, you know, we

479
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 8: have a good room of really good players that that

480
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 8: are really good team guys, and and I've been very

481
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 8: pleased with them.

482
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 7: As we're working on, you know, having this offensive line

483
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 7: getting themselves to a place where they can execute the things.

484
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 7: I know you like running the football. I know you

485
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 7: like twelve personnel sets. I know that there's going to

486
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 7: be you know, big, you know, big strength on that

487
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 7: offensive line.

488
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 10: What are the improvement points that we're looking at right

489
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 10: now for this line?

490
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 8: I mean, everything just starts fundamentally. And this isnt cliche.

491
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,239
Speaker 8: I mean it does. Like every day we sit there

492
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 8: and look at it, it's like, okay, are we hitting

493
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 8: double teams the right way or we getting split on them? Well,

494
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 8: there's less of that. You know, We're staying connected on

495
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 8: double teams. We're fitting combination blocks better. You know, We're

496
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 8: we're coordinating and communicating cleaner, more consistently across the front

497
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 8: to set the table for certain things, whether that's protection,

498
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 8: whether that's run game targeting and all those things. So

499
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 8: it's work in progress. We're making progress. They're working their

500
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 8: tails off, and you know, I've been pleased with the growth.

501
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 8: Got a ways to go, but we're you know, we're

502
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 8: working hard every day to get there.

503
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 9: I'm sensing that you're you're very comfortable in this job,

504
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 9: and I'm curious what I wanted to ask you about

505
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 9: is the actual play calling you You've had You've called

506
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 9: plays in the LANDAFL before. I'm guessing they've had they've

507
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 9: never handed you like a preseason no, because a lot

508
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 9: of coaches do that.

509
00:20:59,560 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: Some do.

510
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, has not happened, you know, in practice opportunities

511
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 8: and stuff like that.

512
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 5: We've obviously had a you know, opportunity to call.

513
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 6: It, and so that's what you're excited about.

514
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I am. But but it starts with having good

515
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 5: people too. You know, I'm gonna learn some things on

516
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 5: the way.

517
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 8: I'm gonna now there's gonna may be some bad calls

518
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 8: along the way too, and I'm gonna learn from them

519
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 8: and grow from them. And that's the whole idea, is

520
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 8: just to continue to get better myself. The same thing

521
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 8: we ask the players, I gotta asking myself.

522
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you're looking forward to Minnesota.

523
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 8: I'm looking forward to I'm looking forward to just tomorrow

524
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 8: starting there and then you know, before we move on

525
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 8: from there.

526
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 7: But yeah, it's been it's been a pretty good split

527
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 7: all the way across your quarterback room. And I know

528
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 7: for for us, we were looking at it and I

529
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 7: mean from our you know, uninformed information, We're like, hey, man,

530
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 7: I would love to see CJ get a lot of

531
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 7: reps to get.

532
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 10: A feel for this.

533
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 7: Is there a reason why you kind of really have

534
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 7: a really strong balance. Is there maybe like some mental

535
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 7: reps things happening where he's sitting off or no.

536
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 8: I think I think it's a progression that is a

537
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 8: part of the rep distribution that we have to start

538
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 8: a camp and that's yeah, you know, just a sequencing

539
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 8: of that, you know, start the start of camp, building

540
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 8: the reps, and then I think you'll start to see

541
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 8: an influx of that.

542
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 5: You know, those guys getting reps as can't progress this.

543
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 9: I got one more for you, and that is just

544
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 9: in general the offense. I said this to a buddy

545
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 9: of mine. I said, because everybody's asking about the Texans

546
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 9: in the city, I said, I could see where there

547
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 9: this is an offense that maybe isn't as spectacular, but

548
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 9: more efficient than I've seen lately. Is efficiency kind of

549
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 9: a catch word for you in terms of just getting

550
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 9: it done?

551
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I think you want to go forward,

552
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 8: you want to get you know, you want to stay

553
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 8: out a second and long situations, third and long situations

554
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 8: that starts on first and second down, so you know, completion,

555
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 8: you know, completing balls, catching run opportunities, whatever that might be,

556
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 8: just positive plays, efficient runs in the run game, just

557
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 8: staying on task and staying on track is the biggest thing.

558
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 10: There's a lot of work stuff that we've talked about,

559
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 10: a lot of football stuff.

560
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 5: Have you given yourself.

561
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 7: Any time to explore the city, play some golf things

562
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 7: like that or is it just like it's so it's.

563

Speaker 7: And then one more thing because I know, for me,

577
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 7: for a football player, I realized that there's certain things,

578
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 7: like certain characteristics that I gravitate towards, like you give

579

Speaker 5: That's right.

595
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,720

616
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 11: become a geek when it comes to the technique and

617
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 11: talking football, it's been a joy.

618
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 5: So let me give you a peek behind the scenes,

619
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 5: if you will.

620
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 4: So we're playing New York last year, playing Giants, and

621
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: we got a drive going and we're going into the

622
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 4: South End and all of a sudden we watched the play.

623

Speaker 4: you know, guys gonna make the rush.

647
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: Remember we're talking about British Brooks.

648
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 4: Yes, we talked about British Brooks last year and we're like,

649
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 4: you know, maybe they're.

650
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,000

00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 5: like good weight, Yeah.

652
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 3: I saw like Derreck Henry Junior over here.

653
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 4: He is rocking guys like this in the locker room.

654
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 4: The guy that's the vyes in the back. It's like

655
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 4: they've got like a twenty six shitch waist and their

656
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 4: shoulders are out. The year, you've seen plenty of those guys, Andy,

657
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 4: what are you what are you most excited to see

658
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 4: during training camp today?

659
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 2: But also once we get to the preseason games.

660
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 11: You know, I'm all about the competitions and the D

661
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 11: line competition passed after the first four, you know, after

662
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 11: the starting four, I think it's gonna be tough to

663
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 11: make the team. So I love to see how those

664
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 11: guys are gonna compete and the tight ends. You know,

665
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 11: when you look at the tight ends, when you look

666
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 11: at Dalton Schultz, when you look at Stove Wars, and

667
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 11: you look at the guys that are coming back, I

668
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 11: just really want to see who's going to emerge, who's

669
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 11: gonna Like coaches always tell us, separate yourself during training camp,

670
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 11: but those are the two position groups that I'm really

671
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 11: excited to see. Which guy's gonna separate himself and.

672
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: D From a macro level, here we are. It's day

673
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: eight of camp. They started a week ago Wednesday. So

674
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: how are the Vets feeling right now? The Vets, the

675
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: guys who have been in the league for a long time.

676
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on this team, you know, barring a disaster.

677
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: How is that second into the second week of camp,

678
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: before the first preseason game. How's your body feeling? What

679
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: are you thinking?

680
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 3: Numb? You just numb.

681
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 11: The first couple of days, there's that anxiety. You're like,

682
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 11: oh man, no matter how hard you worked out during

683
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 11: the offseason, it's still gonna be hard, but your body's

684
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 11: gonna be prepared for the toughness of two a days

685
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 11: in training camp. And you're sore. You know, after the

686
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 11: second day, you're just really sore. You wake up in

687
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 11: the morning. And I remember this even going into my

688
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 11: twelfth year, after like a second third day of training camp,

689
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 11: waking up in the morning saying, I can barely get

690
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 11: out of bed. How am I gonna make it through

691
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 11: a two hour practice out there on the field. But

692
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 11: your body just does it. When you get to like

693
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 11: day eight, nine, ten, it's the groundhog day. You just

694
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 11: numb and you just kind of not go through the motions.

695
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 11: But you know what to expect. You suck it up.

696
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 11: And the veteran those are the guys, the guys who

697
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 11: aren't trying to make the team. They're the ones who

698
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 11: come out here like a Danielle Hunter say, you know what,

699
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 11: I want to work my inside step, and that's all

700
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 11: they're working on, Like it could be to the detriment

701
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 11: of a play, but he wants to work on that

702
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 11: specific movement for him. But then you have a guy

703
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 11: like his backup or even third string, where he's like, man,

704
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 11: I just have to show out, so I have to

705
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 11: do everything right. So there's a different mentality with the

706
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 11: younger guys in the established veterans.

707
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 4: Indeed, did you do any of your teams ever go

708
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 4: away for training camp and what was that experience like

709
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 4: and what is accomplished when the team gets away from

710
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 4: its normal setting, whether it's for a week, two weeks,

711
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 4: whatever it might be, what do you kind of gain

712
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 4: from getting away?

713
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 11: So when I was in Philly, we went to Lehigh

714
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 11: University for six weeks. And what it does It eliminates

715
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 11: all distraction.

716
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: You don't like it.

717
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 11: You come from this nice house or apartment and you

718
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 11: go live in a dorm room in Lehigh freaking university,

719
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 11: as the team would say, and they didn't say freaking

720
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 11: university when we'll go there, You're sleeping in a cot

721
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 11: in a dorm and for whatever reason, that campus is

722
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 11: so hilly, you're always walking up. It's like, hold on,

723
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 11: I walked up to get here, and I feel like

724
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 11: I'm walking up to get back to my destination. But

725
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 11: it brings the team together and it really makes you

726
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 11: appreciate your facilities because the regular season, it makes you

727
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 11: appreciate the regular season schedule. Now, you know, I don't

728
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 11: want to be back on my day when practices were

729
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 11: really hard. But back in my day, when the two

730
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 11: of days were really hard, you would first you would

731
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 11: be miserable. Then you're going through that. What do they say,

732
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 11: misery loves company, So you're going through with it with

733
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 11: a bunch of guys. By the time those six weeks

734
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 11: were over, like you loved that dude next to you,

735
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 11: the guys that finally made the fifty three man roster,

736
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 11: and then some guys you get so close with you, Dang,

737
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 11: they're shed a tear for them when they're on their

738
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 11: way out when they get cut. But to answer you

739
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 11: a question, I'm sorry it's very long. When that I'm

740
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 11: excited being an out. I really believe it eliminates the

741
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 11: distractions and it brings you together and it makes you

742
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 11: appreciate what you're gonna where you're gonna be your digs

743
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 11: during the regular season.

744
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 4: You know this radio thing, man, Yeah, this radio thing

745
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 4: we got a lot of innings that eat up in

746
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 4: the now. That was the perfect answer because I think

747
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 4: that's it's not six weeks, but for a week you're

748
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 4: going up to the Greenbrier. Now, it's a little different

749
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 4: than the dorms at Lehigh, especially down at Casino, but

750
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 4: we don't talk about that, but there, but there is

751
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 4: that camaraderie feeling. There is that feeling of hey, we're

752
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 4: in this together. You know, wives and significant others and

753
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 4: kids are I don't want to say they're.

754
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 5: An afterthought, but for that particular period, they're an afterthought.

755
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 5: It is all ball.

756
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 4: And you know, we kind of noticed that last year

757
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 4: when we went to Ohio and you know, we met

758
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 4: the team in Pittsburgh when they got there and it

759
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 4: was like they had been together for eight nine days

760
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 4: and had a really good period of eight nine days,

761
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 4: and you could tell that camaraderie kind of carried over

762
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 4: into the season. Six weeks in a dorm though, miss

763
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 4: and true two A days too.

764
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, And for those listening, when we say true two

765
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 11: A days in the morning, around this time, you have

766
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 11: what we call live practice. And when you say live

767
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 11: that means everyone is eligible to be tackled to be

768
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 11: hit except for the quarterback. And then you after practice,

769
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 11: you get like an hour nap, go through meetings, get

770
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 11: another thirty minutes or so. Then you're back on the

771
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 11: field for the exact same type of practice. So you

772
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 11: do that for six weeks. I'll never forget. And in

773
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 11: Philly with coach Andy Reid, he was known for having

774
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 11: very tough training camps. The first ten practices were padded

775
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 11: like they were padded, So the first ten, first five

776
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 11: days straight pads, and then we would take the pads off.

777
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 11: But every blue moon, it's almost like he could feel it.

778
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 11: And coach Kubiak was the same way. When he knew

779
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 11: that our bodies were like, man, we'll try, but we

780
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 11: might not make it. He'll gather us all up like

781
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 11: we're about to practice, and he'll say, all right, y'all

782
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 11: go to the movies. And when you just imagine about

783
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 11: eighty grown ass men about to cry because some other

784
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 11: man said you could go to the movies instead of practice,

785
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 11: And that's Artivle brought us together. I mean, then you

786
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 11: see about you know, sixty guys in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in

787
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 11: the movies, and the people, the locals would be going crazy.

788
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 11: But those are still some of my fondest memory.

789
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: How many guys passed out in the theater, Oh everyone theater.

790
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 3: A lot of guys were just knocked out.

791
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 11: But yeah, and a lot of guys you're so excited,

792
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 11: your adrenalines going like you don't have to practice and

793
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 11: we get to sit in here and watch a movie.

794
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 11: Those were good times. It just makes you appreciate things.

795
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: Lee High University.

796
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: So they changed their name when the Engineers to the

797
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: Mountain Hawks. I guess because engineers were offended or something.

798
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 2: By the nickname.

799
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 5: I wasn't an engineer.

800
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. The engineers didn't like Mountain Now Mountain

801
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: Hawks are offended, so I'm not sure.

802
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 11: Maybe they offer more majors now, you know. Maybe back

803
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 11: then there just an engineering school.

804
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 2: Its tradition, like the Penn Quakers.

805
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: How many Quakers go to Penn right, I don't think many?

806
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: No?

807
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: Probably not? You know, actual Quakers? Are you kidding?

808
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 3: Good point?

809
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 2: No way? D Kalu joining us. So here's C. J.

810
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: Stroud will Anderson Junior going into year three. You tell

811
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: me as far as growing as a leader, because you

812
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: come in here as a rookie. Those are highly touted individuals.

813
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: You know, we could throw Stinging in there as well.

814
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: It's from the year before. Obviously he's going to year four.

815
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 1: But as far as Will and CJ go, they were

816
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: drafted back to back their rookies Rookies of the Year

817
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: last year. They do what they do when another playoff game?

818
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: How does that evolve? What's that process like? Is they

819
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: become the guys who really kind of take over the

820
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: team gradually, But it's got to happen.

821
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 11: I couldn't speak on it because both of those guys

822
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 11: you mentioned are such outliers.

823
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 3: You know. Year three for me is when I felt

824
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 3: like the game slowed down. It was like, you know what, Oh,

825
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 3: I can do this.

826
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 11: Like I'm comfortable Will Anderson from day one when I

827
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 11: saw him just during warm ups, I'm like, man, this

828
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 11: guy is like a vet.

829
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 3: He has one speed, one motor, and he never relents.

830
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 11: And I talked about sometimes during training camp, where as

831
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 11: much as you love football, you just kind of I

832
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 11: want to get through it, get through that practice. Every

833
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 11: time I watch him at training camp, it feels like

834
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 11: it looks like he has a smile on his face

835
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 11: and he's going you know, one hundred miles an hour

836
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 11: and appreciated me yet, So I would like to say

837
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 11: that the game's gonna slow down for him in year three.

838
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 11: If it does, I mean we're talking about some monster

839
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 11: numbers and I don't ever want to predict that, But

840
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 11: those two guys mentally, when it comes to their leadership.

841
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 3: We've all talked to CJ. Stroud.

842
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 11: I remember the first time I interviewed him during a

843
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 11: production meeting his rookie year. I was like, this isn't

844
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 11: a rookie like this guy. He must have hung around

845
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 11: a bunch of uncles and older men because he was

846
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 11: so wise beyond his years. So you just have two

847
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 11: true veterans and guys who are only going into their

848
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 11: third year.

849
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 3: That's only going to help the whole organization.

850
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 4: I know two former NFL defensive linemen really, really well,

851
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 4: and I got a feeling that when I bring this up,

852
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 4: there's gonna be this kind of bad look I'm gonna get.

853
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 5: But I gotta ask it because it's a big story

854
00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 5: out here.

855
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 2: What's up thoughts about.

856
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 4: Resetting the offensive line? You have to talk about the

857
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 4: Texas offensive line and.

858
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: Use good terms.

859
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 4: You can't just you know, their offensive Lineman, I hate everybody.

860
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 4: I feel about kickersha punters. What about this offensive line? ND, seriously,

861
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 4: what are your thoughts about resetting it all? Trading way

862
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 4: Laramie waving or releasing Shack trading Kenyan Green kind of

863
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 4: resetting it all in year three of the Demika Ryan's era.

864
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 5: What are you kind of your thoughts about what.

865
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 4: You want to see from this group that'll make you

866
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 4: feel better about what this offense.

867
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: Can do this year.

868
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 11: I want to see guys that will grind, blue collar.

869
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 11: Maybe not the most talented, where you had one guy

870
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 11: in Laramie Tunsel that you could argue he's a top

871
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 11: ten tackle on the tier NFL, you might not have

872
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 11: that any one position with this offensive line. But what

873
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 11: I'm hoping for and from what I'm hearing, is that

874
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 11: they really just take pride and grind it together and

875
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 11: they're gonna be that tough, gritty group like the Denver

876
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 11: Broncos of the late nineties early two thousands, where you're

877
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 11: not gonna have any one of those guys be multiple

878
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 11: year all pro, but together as a unit, they were tough,

879
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 11: and that's what I feel like. It is not like

880
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 11: Nick Sarah talks to me about his decision making. I

881
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 11: feel like that was the thought process when they were

882
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 11: releasing some guys and bringing in others that it's like,

883
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 11: you know what, none of these guys are going to

884
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 11: the Pro Bowl or excuse me, or going to the

885
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 11: Hall of Fame. I hope somebody goes to the Pro Bowl.

886
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 11: He is going to the Hall of Fame. But together

887
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 11: they're gonna be a unit that takes pride in protecting

888
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 11: c J.

889
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: Stroud, Andy Kalude joining us, Demiko Ryans here he is

890
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: year three as a head coach and d and look,

891
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: you are around Andy Reid for a long time, you're

892
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: around Kubiak. What about the evolution as a head coach

893
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: and growth as he's delegating.

894
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 5: More out here.

895
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how he really evolves year

896
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: after year. The first two years went really well for him,

897
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: and we wanted even better.

898
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: So what are you thinking about Tomiko?

899
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 11: You know, similar to what we said or what I

900
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 11: said about CJ. Stroud and Will Anderson. You know, just

901
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 11: a guy that's ahead of his years, his actual years,

902
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 11: and he's been like that from his rookie year. You know,

903
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 11: I've told the story multiple times, just what type of

904
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 11: leader he was as a player, even as a rookie,

905
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 11: and I'm not surprised.

906
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 3: I'm seeing it as a coach.

907
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 11: One thing that I really like and appreciate and respect

908
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 11: about the Miko from his playing days to coaching days.

909
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,439
Speaker 11: He never gets too high, he never gets too low,

910
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 11: and he doesn't overstress himself because he knows if there's

911
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 11: a mistake, if something goes wrong, he's gonna fix it.

912
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 3: Even now.

913
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 11: You know, when I was walking over here to talk

914
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 11: to y'all, I really when I played, you know, you

915
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 11: go through a certain mentality when you get ready for practice.

916
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 11: So he saw me. We showed each other love, and

917
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 11: I kept like, all right, I'm gonna let you go.

918
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 11: I know you want to get in your mind. He's

919
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 11: like no, no, Like how's the kids doing? Like how

920
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 11: he's just really calm, cool, collective. He doesn't overthink things,

921
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 11: and he doesn't get too high too low. I mean,

922
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 11: this is a guy that he's gonna be coaching. He's

923
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 11: gonna be a successful coach for years to come, and

924
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 11: I just hope that he's one of the few that

925
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 11: has his best years multiple years, with one organization being.

926
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 3: The in Texas.

927
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 2: Amen.

928
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 4: You mentioned your kids, How are they doing? Ball seasons

929
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 4: coming up?

930
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:06,160

00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,880

953
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 4: It's you know, we see Derek Stingley, Junior's father. That

Speaker 5: And he teaches Derek.

957
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 4: And you're right, it's better and go through a trainer,

958
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 4: especially you've been through the wars that you've been through

959
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 4: on a football field for sure.

960
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 11: And you know, it's a little selfish on my part.

961
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 11: It's my last year. He's my last son, so it's

962
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 11: probably more for me than it.

963
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 3: Is for him.

964
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: A couple of other things.

965
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: As the team makes its way out of the practice

966
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: bubble here and out of the field in full pads

967
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: for day eight of Texans training camp, they'll do some

968
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: warm up ball warm up.

969
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 2: It's a different kind of warm up.

970
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: It's a lot of warm up here.

971
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: They got to warm up.

972
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 4: They do little agility drills and they have the ball incorporated,

973
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 4: which I actually learned an inn D's hometown. I was

974
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 4: in San Antonio of the their carnal playoff game between

975
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 4: Katie and Symbol of Steel and the Civil of Steel.

976
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 5: Team came on the field. Every single kid at that point.

977
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 4: It was like a hundred forty of them and they

978
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 4: just do the ball on the field to each other

979
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 4: for like fifteen minutes, so everybody got a chance to

980
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 4: touch the ball, and I.

981
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 5: Was like, that's pretty interesting. I would do that.

982
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 4: And then I saw us doing this the last couple

983
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 4: of years, where everybody touches the ball no matter what,

984
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 4: because at some point somebody might have to recover a

985
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 4: fumble or catch a ball out of the air to

986
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 4: keep it from the other side or the defense making

987
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 4: a play going the other way.

988
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 5: So, yeah, you used to catch the.

989
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: Football, okay, And the question for you, you used to host

990
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: a talk show every day a couple hours. How much

991
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: do you miss doing that?

992
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 3: Tell me.

993
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: I'm just curious because that's a way of life. And

994
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: even though it was two hours, which is you know,

995
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: it's not the four hour ship, but you have to

996
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: prepare the same way for two hours as you were

997
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: preparing for four hours.

998
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's the same.

999
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 1: Kind of prep you're on the air even an hour,

1000
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: you got to prepare the same way. And it's getting there,

1001
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: it's preparing, it's doing the show, it's leaving and running

1002
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: a business at the same time.

1003
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 2: But how much do you miss that what is your

1004
00:40:59,320 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 2: life like?

1005
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 11: That's the part I don't miss, you know, juggling that

1006
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 11: and running the mortgage fund that we created. But I

1007
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 11: missed the interaction with the other football fans that call

1008
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 11: into the show. You know, I miss being able to

1009
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 11: step away from reality, not talking about politics and not

1010
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 11: talking about high crime, just talking about football, you know,

1011
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 11: having disagreements about things that are so trivial but at

1012
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 11: the same time fun. Uh So I missed the interaction.

1013
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 11: But I don't miss watching a game and having to

1014
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 11: study every game, you know, the Texas I don't mind.

1015
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 11: I enjoy it, but you know, watching like the Hall

1016
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 11: of Fame game yesterday, I actually forgot about it. But

1017
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 11: if I was still on air, I would have watched it.

1018
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 11: I would have talked about the top rookies that played

1019
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 11: in that game. It would have felt more like a job.

1020
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 11: I don't miss that, but I do miss the interaction

1021
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 11: with the Houston fans.

1022
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 2: How's business, It's good.

00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,120

1035
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 11: the cost of material were buildings. We really thought it

1036
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 11: was going to affect the investors side on the real

1037
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 11: estate side, and the numbers have stayed pretty you know,

Speaker 4: summer than people want to admit.

1074
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,040

1076
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,000

1085
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 5: I like to heat a little bit more in the cold.

1086
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 4: Well we'll get to a little bit of that, but

1087
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 4: I want to go back to the draft night, actually

1088
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 4: day three a draft. Oh yeah, I think everybody's a

1089
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 4: little bit surprised in Houston that they selected a quarterback

1090
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 4: when they selected you. I was like, wait a second,

1091
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 4: he hasn't played in a while. Were you a little

1092
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 4: bit surprised that the Texas drafted you? Or was that

1093
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 4: a team you kind of hone in on that they

1094
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 4: could be interested in you ont draft Knight and that

1095
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 4: was the team I was.

1096
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 3: I was hoping, Yeah.

1097
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 12: I mean I took some visits, some thirty visits during

1098
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 12: the pre draft period, and I came down here and

1099
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 12: just hearing the way everybody talked in this facility, I mean,

1100
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 12: it was something that I wanted to be a part

1101
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 12: of and just just the way everybody thinks from the

1102
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 12: top down. Uh, It's truly a unique culture. Its something

1103
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 12: that that as a player, you want that.

1104
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 4: And so I was I was hoping it was Houston

1105
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 4: putting the pads back on, you know, you got hurt,

1106
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 4: you know about October last year, and you know you're

1107
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 4: out the rest of this season, don't get a chance

1108
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 4: of the All Star Games. You know, you go through

1109
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 4: the draft prep, you really can't work out for anybody?

1110
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 4: Was it like putting the pads? Was there any kind

1111
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 4: of trepidation?

1112
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 3: Was it excitement?

1113
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 6: What was it like?

1114
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 8: No?

1115
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 12: I mean I think that it was funny the night

1116
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 12: before the first day of camp. I mean that's you

1117
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 12: get cleared and then it's like, all right, you're rolling

1118
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 12: in the team now. So for me, the night before

1119
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 12: I was kind of sitting there thinking, like talking to

1120
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 12: my dad a little bit, and like, I wonder how

1121
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 12: I manna feel when I wake up in the morning,

1122
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 12: Like is it gonna be an anxious or nervous? And

1123
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 12: the morning I woke up of day one a camp,

1124
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 12: it was just so much gratitude for being able to

1125
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 12: get to where I'm at, be cleared, and go play

1126
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 12: the game I love. So not really like any anxious

1127
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 12: nerves or anything. It was just more excitement just to

1128
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 12: get out here. And it's been a long time since

1129
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 12: I've played, so it's been a blessing. Put the pads

1130
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 12: of the helmet back on and just go go play.

1131
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 12: I mean, it's a game, so having fun with it now.

1132
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 4: When we watch rookies, and we've seen every rookie that's

1133
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 4: coming through here, Mark and I we talked about this

1134
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 4: all the time. I just want to see them get

1135
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 4: better from day to day because some step in and

1136
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:54,479
Speaker 4: their starters right away.

1137
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 2: Some have to work their way up.

1138
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 5: But every single day it feels like, hey, you sling

1139
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 5: it be. It feels like you're getting more comfortable every day.

1140
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 10: How are you seeing the first started strand camp here?

1141
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I think you hit the nail on

1142
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 12: the head, like like every day our job during especially

1143
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 12: during training camp is and every day of your life,

1144
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 12: regardless of what you do, it's it's you wake up

1145
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 12: every day to get a little bit better every single day.

1146
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 12: So for me, I mean, I'm trying to really focus

1147
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 12: in on just the details. I mean, that's that's the

1148
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 12: thing that wins games in this league. I mean, shoot,

1149
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 12: I'm playing a game and started playing a game in

1150
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 12: what nine days? Eight days, So I'm mentally and physically

1151
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 12: need to get ready to go play a game and compete.

1152
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 12: So for me, it's just trying to focus on the details.

1153
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 12: Get a little bit better every day, whether that's my reads,

1154
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 12: my footwork, ball location accuracy, all that stuff. So you're

1155
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 12: exactly right. I mean, that's the that's the chase of

1156
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 12: of why you play the sport.

1157
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 5: Quarterback room and so room.

1158
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 4: It's been together for a little bit, but you break

1159
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 4: in there as a rookie.

1160
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 5: What's that quarterback room?

1161
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:48,279

Speaker 5: you have to do with rook what's that quarterback room?

1165
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,720
Speaker 5: You're like, no, I've definitely loaded up on the snacks.

00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 3: So I got those.

1171
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 12: And then I was like, you know, what if if

1172
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 12: I were hungry, like what I want to get? So

1173

1175
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 12: they're I mean, they're awesome, man. I mean I think

1176
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 12: just obviously I'm new to the room, but they all

1177
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 12: had been there. Keten had been there for a year

1178
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 12: two last year, So I think for me just getting

1179
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 12: in there learning kind of how they how they process,

1180
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 12: and really like we're all in there just kind of

1181
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 12: support each other and tell each other what we see

1182
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 12: on certain routes. We're all learning a new offense. Obviously

1183
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 12: there's some carryover stuff from last year, but I mean

1184
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 12: we're all on that learning that learning period and kind

1185
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 12: of bouncing ideas off what you see here.

1186
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 3: So I love the room man.

1187
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 12: I mean, I think our coaches are elite the way

1188
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 12: that they explain everything, show us the clips, talk through

1189
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 12: all the little minor details like that's that's what helps
