1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Yes, it is welcome in everybody to a Monday edition

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: of Texans. All Acts says coming at you, John Harris,

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: alongside Mark Vandermere, the voice of the Texans. And I'll

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: be honest, I thought we'd have a little bit more

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: adventurous adventuresome Monday than we've had. But there are a

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: few things going on in our Texans world, and that's

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: why Mark and I are here.

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: Mark. Good evening. How are you, Johnny.

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: I'm joined great and I'm like you. I expected a

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: little bit more today as far as leaks go, I

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: knew the team was not gonna put out a fifty

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 3: three or likely to not put out a We released

13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 3: these ten guys and then we'll do the rest later

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: list like a lot of teams did. A lot of

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: teams put out official release notices of ten or more

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: players that they let go, still needing to get down

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: to the number by tomorrow at three o'clock. And the Texans,

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: that's just not their style. They usually wait till everything's

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: done and then put it all out. But there were

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: some leaks today. Nothing incredibly made, Johnny, unless I miss something.

21
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 3: I find it interesting that they're gonna practice in front

22
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 3: of the media on Wednesday. Nick Cassario will talk to

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: the media before that, so you'll get the general manager

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: executive vice president outlook and his reaction to the initial

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: fifty three man roster with moves on the way, because

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: you know what's gonna happen with Nick and Damika. Ryan's

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: addressed the media today. Boy, that was interesting, And by interesting,

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 3: I mean he wasn't gonna say anything. I can't fault

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: the media for trying to get something out of him

30
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: as far as is this guy gonna make it or not?

31
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: But they, Uh, there's no way Demiko Ryce is gonna

32
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: tell you that, especially before he talks to individuals. He's

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: gonna do that, and he's probably doing I know he's

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 3: done some of it today already based on the leaks

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 3: he had to have. But he's got a lot more

36
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: talking to do, don't you think.

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got plenty of talking to do. There's no

38
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: question about that.

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: I thought more would would leak out for those that

40
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: pay attention to this sort of stuff pretty pretty closely.

41
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: These are the names that I've seen.

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: Now there might be a few others that are in

43
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: this mix, and then we'll get to one other.

44
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: I guess rumor that popped up.

45
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second, because I think

46
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: that might have some more legs in some sense. But

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: the players that we've seen that have been allegedly supposedly

48
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: apparently released or away from the Texans Dieter Eislan offensive lineman,

49
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: Mctelevina game defensive tackle, Tariq Barnes linebacker, Jacob Phillips linebacker.

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: Now you can do the map. That's four guys. There's

51
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: a lot more that has to take place. But Mark,

52
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I don't know that. When I saw

53
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: those names, I kind of nodded, like yeah, when I

54
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: looked at my list, because I have come up.

55
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: I in fact a head up in the booth the other.

56
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: Day, and I was kind of changing it as we

57
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: went along because guys got banged up. Unfortunately, Brandon Hill

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's gonna be out for a while,

59
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: which is unfortunate. We'll miss him for sure with an

60
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: apparent leg injury. But when I saw these names, I

61
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I think that's probably about right. And

62
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: the one that kind of got me not got me,

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: but the one I was like, Okay, it does sort

64
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: of fall in line with what I've thought, and that

65
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: is I did think that they would look at the

66
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: interior defensive.

67
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: Line outside the building.

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: And there's no telling whether they'll bring back McTelvin A

69
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: game Sosa as a practice squad player. We don't know

70
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: that that could happen, but we know that McTelvin a

71
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: game was released. I was just sad because I thought

72
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: he had a pretty good camp to start. I don't

73
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: know that the games went in that direction. He was

74
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: really really good the first few weeks leading up to

75
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: the preseason games and preseason games is okay, but I

76
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: don't know that it got to that level that some

77
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: other guys did. But Mark, I don't know that I

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: can look at those four and go, yeah, I'm totally surprised.

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: Now again and there's only four, but I kind of

80
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: figured those four would be on that list.

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: Now are they coming back on practice squad?

82
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: Now, we'll find out, but that's not something we're going

83
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: to find out for a little bit. But any surprises

84
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: amongst those four more, No.

85
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: But there were players I hoped would pan out. Jacob

86
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: Phillips had high hopes for it because we talked about

87
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: him as being a possible possible blake cashman type reclamation

88
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: project out of LSU and banged up with the Browns,

89
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: and you know, here he comes, and you hope that

90
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: he can really reach his full potential here in this system, livebacker.

91
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: He's playing for Tamiko. My gosh. You imagine the possibilities.

92
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: But obviously that didn't pan out. He might be on

93
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: the practice squad, you don't know. Another theory I have

94
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 3: on why they release these guys or certain players anyway

95
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 3: and make a little room is because what if somebody's

96
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: released from these other teams early and they want to

97
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 3: jump on that possibility. They need the room on the

98
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 3: roster in order to do it. So why not create

99
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: a little wiggle room for yourself to have some comfort

100
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: zone to acquire some of these players Because a lot

101
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: of players around the league are getting cutting some names,

102
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: you know, things like that, and maybe they're interested now,

103
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: probably not this early, but you never know. Maybe there's

104
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: a body or two that they find intriguing and they

105
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: want to get on that before other teams do, and

106
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: you want to have the room to do it. So

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: that's one thing big Telviny game. Look, you interviewed him

108
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: at least once or twice, talked about him a bunch,

109
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: and I'm hoping he's on the practice squad because it

110
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: looks like he has a bunch of potential. It's funny

111
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: with the guys who kind of flash early in camp

112
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: or preseason games, and maybe you don't see much after that,

113
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: but look, you see more than anybody, Johnny, I see Look,

114
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: I see stuff too, but it's not quite the same.

115
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 3: But I just noticed what I notice. Guys who front

116
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 3: to back of training camp are making plays making plays,

117
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 3: or guys who start out a little bit slow and

118
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: finish strong. That's cool. Guys who don't finish strong, you're wondering, one,

119
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: are they hurt? Are they're playing through something that bigon.

120
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: Ryan's talked about that in our production meeting for the

121
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: TV broadcast on Friday or Thursday. He discussed that possibility

122
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: as being, Hey, don't forget about these guys, guys that

123
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: you might not know they're battling with something, but we do.

124
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: And the fact that they're fighting through it is impressive

125
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: in itself. But you might not see the playmaking on

126
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 3: the field. You might not see the flashes of the

127
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: field that you want to see if you don't know

128
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 3: those things. So there's a lot to consider here, But

129
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: do you find anything surprising me? Dieter Eisley. I remember

130
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: him at the season premiere last year because I had

131
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: to go get his pronunciation make sure it was absolutely correct,

132
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: you know, just little little things like that. And I

133
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 3: saw guys walking around the building today where I thought,

134
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: is he just here to work at or are they

135
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: going to tell them something? You just never know until

136
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 3: you know.

137
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's the one thing.

138
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: You and I have the opportunity to see things in

139
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: a hallway and overhear things, and of course you never

140
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: divulge that information, but it just kind of raises your eyebrows, like, Okay,

141
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: is that you know? Crazier things have happened now right?

142
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: One of the I don't know want to say one

143
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: of the crazier things. But at this time of year,

144
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that start breaking.

145
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: And is it breaking news? Is it a rumor?

146
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: Is it just somebody's wild hair idea that somebody has

147
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: just gone off and run with. So earlier this morning,

148
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: it was just after our show. I in fact, I

149
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: was sitting down at studio. You've gone up to your

150
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: office and I texted this to you. So Jordan Schultz

151
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: from the Schultz Report, and he just says sources. Multiple

152
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: teams have reached out to the Texans to see if

153
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: John Metchi would be available in a trade due to

154
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: the plethora of receivers on their roster. It's unclear if

155
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: Houston would move him, but several teams are keeping a

156
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: close eye. Former second round pick out Alabama had ten

157
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: catches for one hundred yards and a TD in the preseason.

158
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: Mark your gut reaction when you saw that tweet that

159
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: I sent you via text?

160
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: What did you think about that?

161
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: And how do you kind of die into what Jordan

162
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: Schultz is saying. Now again, let me reiterate this is

163
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: this last sentence. It's unclear if Houston would move him.

164
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: This is just the fact that teams are interested because

165
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: they know the Texans have a pretty deep wide receiver roster.

166
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: Mark your thought.

167
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: Well, that's it right there, isn't it, Johnny? You just

168
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: said it. Now, if you are in need of a

169
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: wide receiver, the Texans with their receiver group, they're the

170
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: pretty girl you want to take to the So you're

171
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 3: gonna call them up and ask them for a date.

172
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 3: But the Texans they might just say no. We're not

173
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: gonna do that, especially if that's a player John Metchi

174
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: that they want to hang on to. They have high

175
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 3: hopes for which I would think would be the case,

176
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: but you never know. So the fact that somebody's calling

177
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 3: I don't think is that newsy. It's if the Texans

178
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 3: are calling people, Hey do you want this guy? Whoever

179
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: the guy might be. I'm not singling out Metchi here,

180
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: But if the Texans are making calls, and that's the

181
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: story and it has legs validity, that's interesting. If they're

182
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: making calls, I think it's notable, but it's not a

183
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: big deal because think about this. If you are in

184
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: need of a receiver, and you might be in need

185
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: of a certain kind of receiver, skill set, whatever, But

186
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 3: if you're in need of a receiver, you're either calling

187
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 3: the Texans about I would think Robert Woods or John Metschi.

188
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: You're probably not calling about X. You're not calling out

189
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: Noah Brown is hurt right now, but you know he

190
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 3: can make plays. That's probably about it. The big three

191
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: are untouchable. You know that if you're making these calls,

192
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: So you're gonna ask about either Mechi or Woods, and

193
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: preferably mechi if you're another team, because it's not gonna

194
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: cost you as much. Because with Woods, it's not like

195
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 3: he's got this. He doesn't have a Ceedee Lamb contract. Johnny,

196
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: we'll get to that. He doesn't have that kind of contract.

197
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: But he's got a contract where if you make a trade,

198
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to deal with that contract. Right, So

199
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: mechi makes the most sense if you are in need

200
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: of a receiver and you want to call a team

201
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: that's rich in the receiver position. So not surprised at all.

202
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: They're a very low sizzle fire story from Schultz, but

203
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: it would have more sizzle if Nick was the one

204
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 3: making the calls and engaging in really deep, serious conversations

205
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: about this.

206
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: Agreed.

207
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: I thought, here's my reaction to it. I wanted to

208
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: see what people's reaction was because I feel here's to me,

209
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: and you said it. You and I have seen every practice,

210
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: we have seen every game. We're around this team a lot,

211
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: so I feel like we can we can speak on

212
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: this very very well.

213
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: Early in camp, I.

214
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: Didn't think John was making the plays that we felt

215
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: like he could make, and we felt like, man, maybe

216
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: there's some stuff being left on the table. The other

217
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: receivers are really are really shining. You know, Xavier Hutchinson

218
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame game was really shining that night,

219
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: and you start thinking, man, even Ben Scaronic early in

220
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: training camp was just catching one third down pass after another,

221
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, you know, okay, we need

222
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: metch you to really get it going. And then he did.

223
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: The week leading up to the Giants, I thought he

224
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: had a really good week of practice. I thought he

225
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: was very, very good in a practice and like, okay,

226
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: this translates to the game, and then it translated to

227
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: the game, and then he came out of that like okay.

228
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: And I even said during the broadcast, like all right,

229
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: that was a great I mean, it was great to

230
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: kind of get going. Really now what happens with joint

231
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: practice in a game against the Rams, he did it again.

232
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: He showed that spin move on Brendan Jackson, the defensive

233
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: end for the Rams. And everybody's excited about that as

234
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: well they should be. And I just remember thinking, after

235
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: watching that second half or that second quarter, I thought

236
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: that guy's got confidence. Now he started to make plays.

237
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: His body is right, I think his mind is getting right.

238
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: That's a guy you want to have on this team

239
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: and continue and develop. And I think you also have

240
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: to take a look at the future too. Now, one

241
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: thing I've realized in doing draft work as much as

242
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: I do and looking at every receiver group that is

243
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: followed this received, the receiver group in twenty twenty five

244
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be as good as it was in twenty

245
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: twenty four. So in saying that you want to have,

246
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, a twenty twenty five drat, you know, keeping

247
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: Mechi cause you're thinking about twenty twenty five. No, you

248
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't really look at it like that, because they're gonna

249
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: be some young receivers, some young dudes coming to the

250
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: league in due time that you can go find, kind

251
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: of like running backs have been for a long time.

252
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: You go find a guy.

253
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: But if John Metchi takes that step, then you gotta

254
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: feel really good about what he can do on into

255
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: the future for you. And he's twenty four years old

256
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: and he's probably just scratching the surface. What I thought

257
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: was interesting, Mark, was the completely polarizing response to Schultz's

258
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: tweet was the replies. I started reading the replies, and

259
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: they were there were some teams saying yeah, yeah, come

260
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: on and they were listing their team like, man, we

261
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: need this. Oh man, I'd rather have Mechi than Johan Dotson.

262
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm an Eagles fan. The response was crazy, and then

263
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: seeing some Textans fans kind of talk about it, you know,

264
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: some Texas fans saying, well, he didn't do anything the preseason,

265
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: and other Texans fans going.

266
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: Nah, man, look at what he did the last two weeks.

267
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: It was really.

268
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: Interesting how polarizing that one tweet was. He now has

269
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: one point eight million views, but he's got.

270
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: Three hundred and forty one responses to it, which you

271
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: would think for.

272
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: A guy that you know, and John Metchi hasn't played,

273
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: but you know last year, you think, wow, this is

274
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: kind of wild to see that kind of response. But

275
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: it's he is kind of a polarizing figure. Not that

276
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: he wants to be, but just all these gone through

277
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: I think makes him kind of a polarizing figure. But

278
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: I at this point, I do not want to trade

279
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: him at all. I want to keep him and let

280
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: him see what he can do.

281
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm excited about his future, Johnny, because when you

282
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 3: look at the Mechi story, it kind of makes sense

283
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: that it would take a minute, meaning a year plus

284
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: maybe more to get to where he needs to go.

285
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: How much precedent do we have here? We have more

286
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 3: than any team. I would say, we shall have all

287
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: these stats in front of me. But think about David Quesenberry.

288
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,599
Speaker 3: David Quesnenberry was a promising rookie. They loved him, the

289
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: Kubiak staff sixth round draft choice, San Jose State man.

290
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: That guy looks good, he's got it, but he's a rookie,

291
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: all right. So the next year that's when it hit right,

292
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: That's when he got the diagnosis with the non Hodgkins lympoma. Well,

293
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: it took years for him to overcome that, you know,

294
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: because he lost Wade. He had to build his body

295
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: back up. I remember him doing workouts on I still

296
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: call it Quaesnburry Hill with the little grass knoll that

297
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: goes up from the parking lot and the tea lot

298
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 3: up to the bridge, that grass alongside the stairs. He

299
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: was going up and down that thing and on the

300
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: other side as well toward Kirby. And I call that

301
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 3: Quaesnburry Hill because he's working out there so much with

302
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: an athletic trainer, trying to get his strength back. And

303
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: we thought, is it really going to come back. Plays

304
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 3: against Pittsburgh on Christmas Day twenty seventeen. We thought, oh,

305
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: isn't that nice he gets to play. It was awesome,

306
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: great story, but this is probably all it's gonna be. Right, No,

307
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: he ends up being he's starter for the Tennessee Titans. Johnny,

308
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: did he start in twenty nineteen on that team that

309
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: bumped off Baltimore?

310
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right for Tennessee time. Oh my gosh.

311
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: And then he goes to Buffalo and he has starting

312
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: reps there as well. I mean, he turns into a

313
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: really great player, and he was a sixth round draft choice.

314
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: Metchi is a second round draft choice. So to think that, oh, yeah,

315
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: he's just gonna recover from the knee and leukemia and

316
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 3: last year erupted like Tankdell and the other guys just

317
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 3: didn't happen for him. Last year made some plays just

318
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: didn't happen. This year training camp doesn't look like it's

319
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: gonna happen. But then all of a sudden last couple

320
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 3: of weeks he gets to that level. And you want

321
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: to see it on a sustained basis. But I think

322
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: it makes a lot of sense why it would take

323
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: this long. He's needed a lot of reps, a lot

324
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: of time, a lot of strength, building up whatever. And

325
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: it makes sense. That's why I want to see what

326
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 3: the future is with him so badly.

327
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

328
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And there's so many people cheering for him. And

329
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: here's the thing about John. Last year, John wanted to

330
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: talk about football. He didn't want to talk about beating cancer.

331
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: He didn't want to talk about beating Lukeman. He want

332
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: to talk about football. He wanted to turn the page.

333
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: And I'm sure there was so much he felt internal

334
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: pressure last year to really show Yeah, yeah, I'm back

335
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: as a football player.

336
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: I'm back as a football player.

337
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: When maybe he wasn't quite where he needed to be

338
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: or even wanted to be. He needed a little bit

339
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: more time and maybe even needed that in training camp.

340
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: But I go back to the week of the Giants game.

341
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: I remember them working a third down drill in training

342
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: camp and he's one on one against Jalen Petrie and

343
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: he cooked.

344
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: Jalen one on one.

345
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: And I mean, I've seen Jalen cover digs this offseason.

346
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: I've seen him cover some other guys. Obviously made that

347
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: great coverage against the Giants in the preseason game, and

348
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: Jalen just got turned around and Pete and Metchi makes

349
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: a catch across the middle, and I just remember watching

350
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: that play going, Man, you never know when it's one play,

351
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: and I mean the offense he erupted when he got there,

352
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: he got that catch, and it was like everybody went crazy.

353
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: So everybody, I think is cheering for John Metched and

354
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: I know John would just be like, Yeah, what's up, man,

355
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: I just want to go play ball.

356
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 2: And now I think he's in a position.

357
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: To not only play ball, but to be a contributor

358
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: to this offense that's going to be hopefully a high

359
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: flying one as we continue.

360
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: You mentioned it, Mark, the big story of the day.

361
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: Amongst all these things happening for all the teams in

362
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: the NFL, some have put out their cuts.

363
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 2: The Colts have put out a few.

364
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Greg Ward of the Houston Cougars was released by

365
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: the Colts today, was only there for a couple of days.

366
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 2: CD Lamb gets four years.

367
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty six million dollars and Mark, there

368
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: was a lot of conjecture coming out of Jerry Jones. Oh,

369
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: I know how to do this, I know how to negotiate, etc.

370
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm not totally sure that they accomplished what they wanted

371
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: to accomplish.

372
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: The Cowboys they could have offered this a long time ago.

373
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's basically one million dollar ap why less

374
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: than Justin Jefferson, And they could have gotten Ceedee Lamb

375
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: in to practice and out on the field and start

376
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: finding a rhythm with their quarterback who also needs a deal.

377
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: He gets the big money. But they could have done

378
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 2: this a long time ago. Mark, I just I don't understand.

379
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.

380
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: One hundred million dollar guaranteed, right, that's the deal?

381
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 2: Yeah?

382
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: Good, I mean it's good money. I'm a I'm a

383
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: great negotiator. I give the guy one hundred million. And

384
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 3: he said, yes, that was my negotiation right there. He said,

385
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 3: I you know what, you drive a hard bargain, but

386
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the one hundred mil.

387
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeash, It's just crazy.

388
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean Justin Jefferson got four at one hundred and

389
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: forty and CD gets four years one hundred.

390
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: What was Justin Jefferson's guarantee?

391
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: I want to say it was one ten, but I

392
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: don't have that. I don't have that.

393
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 3: Well, look, CD labs out as good as Justin Jefferson Okay,

394
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 3: so I think that's that's you know, that's uh right, reasonable,

395
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 3: it's reasonable.

396
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: But why did it take so that gum long? That

397
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: part just doesn't that part just doesn't make sense.

398
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: But do you think CD's like really upset that he

399
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 3: missed all of training?

400
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and you're right.

401
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's not as if like say, for instance,

402
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: and it didn't happen, thank god, But if Stefan Diggs

403
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: were it was new to Houston and was holding out

404
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: so he didn't have any opportunity, it's a little different.

405
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Ceede and Dak have been together for at

406
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: least the last how many ever years? What four years,

407
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: so they can just kind of fall right back into it.

408
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: But still Jerry proclaiming how great negotiator he is.

409
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: Oh man, you.

410
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: Gotta love Jerry.

411
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 2: You know.

412
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 3: The thing about Jerry is that he's a great promoter

413
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: for his team.

414
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: That's true.

415
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 3: What he says is just a lightning rod for clicks

416
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 3: and attention. And I think I think he's crazy like

417
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: a fox that way, Johnny. I think he knows this,

418
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 3: and he puts himself out there and he's he takes

419
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: he's a lightning rod to make a lot of the

420
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 3: attention away from the players sometimes, you know, blame Jerry,

421
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: And I think it does help them because as bad

422
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: as they've been in the playoffs, as disappointing as they've

423
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 3: been in the playoffs, they've been really good in the

424
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 3: regular season. And it's tough, man. It's tough to win

425
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 3: ten twelve games a year, twelve games a year, three

426
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: games in a row. That's ridiculous, yeah it is.

427
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: But well, good for Jerry.

428
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: Now he's got to figure out Dak Prescott and Michael

429
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: Parsons both they got ceedee lamb Richmond Texas, Baby, Richmond Texas.

430
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: Do tell you get paid.

431
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 3: I'll tell you one game I will be rooting them

432
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 3: for them in and that would be against the Cleveland Browns.

433
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 3: Other than that, any other AFC team they play. Also,

434
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 3: I want them to beat all the AFC teams except

435
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 3: for this one. And it'll be a Monday night er

436
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 3: and it is on. And I know it sounded like

437
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: I just defended Dallas. Trust me, my heart is in

438
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 3: the right place here.

439
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: Other than I could speak to this, Mark's heart is

440
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: in the right spot.

441
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 3: In the right spot. I mean, I hate Big Dallas,

442
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: but you know, the thing about them is, uh, they're

443
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 3: the team that everybody loves to They're polarizing. You love

444
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 3: them or you hate them, and that's why they get

445
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: the biggest ratings. And it's good for the league to

446
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: have the Cowboys a part of it. Everybody wants to

447
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: play that because it's always gonna get a lot of

448
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: attention for your team.

449
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 2: And hopefully we go up there on a Monday night

450
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: and beat them for the first.

451
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: Time in Jerry's world right there, Jerry World in Arlington.

452

Speaker 1: I'll say it, I've been around this guy for a

462
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: long long time. Aaron Wilson has stuff that nobody else

463
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: breaks in this town.

00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: tweeted the Texas and drafted rookie Evens tackle Federia's pain

467
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: injured his hamstring is a Ram expected to be waved

468
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: injured and later reach an injury settlement, then potentially return

469
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: later for practice squad once healthy again.

470
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: That's kind of version two dot oh.

471
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: That happened to Felderius back in OTA's He got hurt,

472
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: he was let go, he's kind of moving guys around

473
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, got himself healthy, came back during training camp,

474
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: came back late and was actually kind of doing some things.

475
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: He was very active, very quick, He's undersized, he was tackling,

476
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: he could move, and that would be a great, great

477
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: guy to work with at some points hopefully he'd get

478
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: back in the building and work.

479
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 2: But unfortunately injurs hamstring against the Rams and just hate

480
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: to see that. Now.

481
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: These last three preseason games, I had the opportunity to

482
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: be next to my man d Clue up in the

483
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: booth and we had an absolute blast. And I'm telling

484
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: you there was one dude that caught our attention in

485
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: more ways than one in this last preseason game. Let's

486
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: hear from indklu talking about Neville Hewitt.

487
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. Neville Hewett had a good game.

488
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 5: A couple of other guys are gonna make the Mico's

489
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 5: job hard when it comes trying, when it comes down.

490
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 4: To getting to fifty three guys.

491
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 5: But Neville Hewett, like John said, we discussed it. It

492
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 5: was cool not just seeing his strength, but I almost

493
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 5: forgot how fast he was sidelight to sideline. And you

494
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 5: saw what he did as a linebacker, and you see

495
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 5: why he had so much success as a special teams

496
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 5: player just because of the violence and the speed.

497
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he can he can absolutely move. There's no question

498
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: Indy as a player. And I know throughout the years,

499
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: you've been in different spots where you're on the roster,

500
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: probably times where.

501
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: You're like, man, am I gonna make it?

502
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: How tough a weekend do you think twenty five to

503
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: thirty guys had kind of wondering what their fate was

504
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: going to be, maybe more obviously more for the Texas

505
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: this weekend.

506
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: What kind of weekend do you think these guys ended

507
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: up having.

508
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: How difficult it it may be to make this fifty

509
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: three men roster.

510
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 5: You know what, it's tough, because you're right, I've been

511
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 5: in you know positions where you know, some years, I

512
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 5: know I made it. The years it's like, oh man,

513
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 5: what's gonna happen? And Johnna is tough because you have

514
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 5: guys that have put it. You know, they've done everything

515
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 5: they could. They put it all on the line, and

516
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 5: now they're just playing the waiting game. And you know

517
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 5: these are macho man. They try to control everything, but

518
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 5: they can't control. It's like a guy like Xavier Hutchinson.

519
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know what else Xavier Hutchinson could

520
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 5: have done to make this team, but over the last

521
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 5: couple of days, you know he's sitting there trying to

522
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 5: count out how many.

523
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 4: Guys are they going to keep? You know, John Metchi

524
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 4: had a nice showing. You know, will I make it?

525
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 5: Robert Woods is an experienced guy, so yeah, well all

526
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 5: these things going through your mind, But there's also that

527
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 5: sense of relief, like I made it through another training camp.

528
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 5: I put something good on film. If it doesn't work here,

529
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 5: something's gonna work somewhere.

530
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 3: What did you make of what you saw? Overall? Offensively

531
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: from the running attack gaining over one hundred and fifty

532
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: yards total.

533
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 5: Indeed, I don't want to put too much on it, Mark,

534
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 5: but you know what I saw. I saw a guy

535
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 5: work his way from being a street free agent, a

536
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 5: campbody to in my mind, the number.

537
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 4: Two running back on this roster.

538
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 5: Like, we don't want to sit up here and make

539
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 5: any definitive statements, but Cam Akers is your second string

540
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 5: running back. I mean when I left that game, and

541
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 5: it was the whole body of work. It wasn't just

542
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 5: what he did, uh you know, a couple of nights

543
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 5: excuse me, a couple of days ago, but just seeing

544
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 5: what he did over the entirety of the training camp

545
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 5: and what he did in that last game, I walked

546
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 5: away thinking Cam Akers is your number two.

547
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

548
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: I think, I don't know if there's anybody that disagrees

549
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: with that really bad.

550
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 4: I'm over here thinking I'm making a great statement and

551
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 4: it no, no, no, no, no, no.

552
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: No no.

553
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: He went second string though not just on the team

554
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 3: right right right seconds.

555
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: No agreed, But I think then there it brings it

556
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: there in lies kind of the rub in some sense

557
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: in the fact that cam does have a really good performance,

558
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: but Damien doesn't play. And I know that's something that

559
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: that Mark and I talked about in the first segment,

560
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: and you know Demiko really really well. I feel like

561
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: if Damien were not gonna be on this team, that

562
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: Demko would have given Damien an opportunity to show what

563
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: he could possibly do. And I think that's where I'm

564
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: kind of kind of stuck in between because I.

565
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 2: Feel like that's what Demko would have done.

566
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: But man, Cam got to really and by the way

567
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: that run the spin the three spins?

568
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 2: Didn't he come back in to do that? Wasn't that?

569
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: Didn't he come back in the fourth quarter to out? Yeah?

570
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: I think he was out and he came back in.

571
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: What is he doing in here?

572
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 4: So?

573
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: Indeed?

574
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: And what do you think happens? Because I tend to

575
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: agree with you what we've seen you and I talked

576
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: about during breaks and during the broadcast, Like cam Akers

577
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: has shown us a lot, what do you think they

578
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: end up doing with Damian Pierce?

579
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 5: You know, you you brought up a good point and

580
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 5: I won't say it on air because you know, some

581
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 5: of it's sensitive what we were speculating, and it was

582
00:26:54,960 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 5: just speculation. But with Damien Piers not playing, if he

583
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 5: if he's for sure on this roster, that's fine. I

584
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 5: mean two years ago he was a pro Bowl alternate.

585
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 5: But if he's on this roster, I still think he's

586
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 5: number three. Uh, and he's number three to cam Akers.

587
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 5: And when he didn't play, I just felt like Demico says, Okay,

588
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 5: I know what I have in this guy, Like there

589
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 5: isn't anything he can do to change my opinion of him,

590
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 5: whether it's be to get you know, to waive him,

591
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 5: or to keep him. But I do feel like cam

592
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 5: Aker is at a very minimum leap frogged over him

593
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 5: on the depth chart. And they might not even say that,

594
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 5: Like you've y'all have been through many years, there'll be

595
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 5: times where the official depth chart that we see online

596
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 5: will say one thing. But then when a player goes down,

597
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 5: another guy is the one who steps up and he's

598
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 5: the one who gets the reps and it's like, oh,

599
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 5: I didn't know he was the number two. So even

600
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 5: when they're getting ready to play, the Indianapolis coach, if

601
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 5: Damian Pierce is on the roster and cam Akers his

602
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 5: third third string on paper, I would not be surprised

603
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 5: if cam Akers is the one that actually comes in

604
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 5: after Joe Mixon neither blow or god forbid if he

605
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 5: gets injured.

606
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 3: But I always felt like Darre's got to be on

607
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 3: this football team too. It's got to be tough to

608
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: make these decisions because if that's the case, you have

609
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 3: four running backs, not one of them is a fullback,

610
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 3: and then who's the fullback, especially if Andrew Beck has

611
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: to go on IR or whatever, because he hasn't been

612
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 3: available in practice lately. And this is just pure speculation here.

613
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 3: Don't know how bad his ailment is whatever has sidelined

614
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 3: him at practice, but maybe you keep four and go

615
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 3: from there. So what about the quarterback position? Which was

616
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 3: interesting because Case goes out of the game. I guess

617
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 3: he's gonna be okay. I hope he's gonna be okay.

618
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 3: But that was interesting to me that Boyle got all

619
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 3: that time at the end of the game to make

620
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: his point. And we're talking about third string quarterback here.

621
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: That's the kind of team we have this here, gentlemen.

622
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 3: Third string quarterback is a topic.

623
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

624
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a tough one because me personally, I

625
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 5: feel more comfort sortable with Case Keenum just with his experience,

626
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 5: his moxie. He's one of those guys kind of like Sage,

627
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 5: And I know some fans when they hear Sage Roseen

628
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 5: felt they call him Rosen copture and they don't feel

629
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 5: that comfortable. But as a teammate, when Sage ran onto

630
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 5: the field, we felt like, you know what, something big

631
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 5: is gonna happen. It might be positive, it might be negative,

632
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 5: but we were confident that, you know, we had a

633
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 5: chance to win with case Keenum. Yeah, he did make

634
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 5: plays with case Keenum. I just get the sense that

635
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 5: if he has to play, the team is going to

636
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 5: rally around him, and the team's gonna feel confident that

637
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 5: they can still get the dub, can still get the

638
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 5: W With Tim Boyle. I didn't know anything about Tim

639
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 5: Boyle until I really started listening to John Harris and

640
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 5: talk about him like a gunslinger, and I was impressed

641
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 5: with what he can do. The lack of experience makes

642
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 5: me a little bit nervous, But how do you get experience.

643
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 5: You get playing time. I personally would like to see

644
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 5: case keenum, but that last game wasn't his best.

645
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 4: And I just worry and wonder if he had, you know,

646
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 4: some physical ailments.

647
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: And that is a concern.

648
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, I think last year there was some

649
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: there was there was something going on. I think the

650
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: maybe first second week of the year, maybe during preseason

651
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: last year with Case and so hopefully, hopefully a Case

652
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: is going to be okay at that that particular moment,

653
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: and they a couple of weeks before we get ready

654
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Colts this week. If you're a player

655
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: and you know you're in a fifty three man roster,

656
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: but you've just come off of five plus weeks of

657
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: training camp. Now they're not the training camp that you

658
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: went through with two days back in the day. But

659
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: what's kind of the biggest thing right now for players

660
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: that are on the roster, guys that are starters, CJ.

661
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: Stroud, et cetera.

662
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: Before they get ready for Indianapolis, what are some of

663
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: the things that they want to get accomplished this week

664
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: before they get into game week mode. And then it's

665
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: thirteen weeks straight of games.

666
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: After this particular week.

667
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: But what do you think the players need to do

668
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: have to do to get themselves ready to get this

669
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: season started after five weeks of training camp?

670
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 5: They have to start getting into that routine and they

671
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 5: really have to start doing the little thing. It's like,

672
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 5: if you're a guy like Nico Collins, you know, Joe

673
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 5: Mix and the guys who you know you're going to

674
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 5: be on the team, Shaq Mason. This is when you

675
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 5: start getting those massages. This is when you start going

676
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 5: to the chiropractor to get yourself into that root scene,

677
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 5: to get your body ready for the next step. Think

678
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 5: about the next seventeen weeks of regular seasons football. This

679
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 5: is where you really have to, you know, focus back

680
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 5: on your diet to make sure your energize at the

681
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 5: right time throughout the day. They've done the physical stuff

682
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 5: and they're still going to have hard to Wednesday Thursday practices,

683
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 5: but it's not going to be anything like it was

684
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 5: in training camp. Now, you want to make sure that

685
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 5: you're playing in week fifteen at the same high level

686
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 5: that you're playing in week one or two. It's easy

687
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 5: to go out there in the first couple of weeks

688
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 5: and stay fresh and look fresh. Excuse me, but you

689
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 5: want to stay fresh. And that's the difference between the greats,

690
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 5: you know, the All Pros and the Pro Bowlers. They're

691
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 5: playing at a high level for the entirety of the

692
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 5: season and they're not hitting.

693
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 3: That wall and dey Kalude joining us. Okay, so wrap

694
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 3: up the TV experience for me, that three man booth

695
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 3: that you operated with. How was it this year? You

696
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 3: guys had a full three games because the last couple

697
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 3: of years we just had two preseason games each of

698
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: the two years that we were producing because we had

699
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 3: these national games. Had one national game this year, but

700
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 3: three games that we produced, and you guys were in

701
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 3: a three man booth with Kevin Kogler and Johnny How

702
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 3: did it go?

703
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 4: Ind?

704
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 5: You know, I don't want to overstate it, and I

705
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 5: can't because it was awesome. It was like, it felt

706
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 5: like a mix of doing a broadcast, but for me,

707
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 5: it also felt like being back in the studio doing

708
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 5: a radio show. Because there were times John and I

709
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 5: we were just talking shop, talking football, and then I

710
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 5: was like, oh, the play by play guy, he's gonna

711
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 5: have to, you know, do his job, so maybe actually

712
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 5: back off or not say anything. But we got so

713
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 5: caught up and talking football.

714
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 4: It was fun. It just felt good, we're in the path.

715
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 5: I've always enjoyed it, but I was more anxious before

716
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 5: a game, like Okay, don't screw this up or make

717
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 5: sure you you know, you're saying enough. With John in there,

718
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 5: it was just fun. It was just talking football and

719
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 5: watching football. So no, I'm so glad, you know, we

720
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 5: made that move, and I hope we do it for

721
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 5: years to come.

722
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to say from the standpoint of I

723
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: said at the end of the broadcast, I was I

724
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: was so glad to be asking the cool kids club man.

725
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: That was just so much fun to be up there

726
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: with ND.

727
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: And we've done, you know, different things before together, but

728
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: doing that, it was, you know, going through the third game,

729
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: it was kind of like we're out on a nice

730
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: rhythm of Okay, you take this one, I'll take this one,

731
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: and we'll kind of go back and forth, and you know,

732
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: I think for both of us adding some humor to

733
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: it as well. If you didn't hear, if you didn't

734
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: hear the Deion Sanders story during the broadcast that that

735
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: ND told and teased it perfectly like the great radio

736
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: man that he is, you gotta go, you gotta go here,

737
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: because I almost fell over laughing, like couldn't say anything,

738
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: and I was trying to watch myself because I've got

739
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: a mic by my face.

740
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 2: I was dying laughing.

741
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: It's a story that Indy told, but you know, it

742
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: just goes to when you have a three man booth

743
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, how's this gonna go When you're

744
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: next to somebody unselfish? That is excellent what he does,

745
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: like Indie Clue. It makes it easy for me and

746
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: hopefully I was able to give that back to Indy two.

747
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 3: Man.

748
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: I had a blast.

749
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: I absolutely had a blast, and hopefully we'll do that

750
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: for a long time to come.

751
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 2: Man, but I love this dude on the radio.

752
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: Indie Clue is the best, and I would say it

753
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: to anybody I walk, I meet. It was just really

754
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: fun to do those broadcasts together and can't wait to

755
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:34,959
Speaker 1: do the next one.

756
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 5: It's funny you talk about the projects we did, and

757
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 5: I appreciate everything he's that you and I freaking called

758
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 5: a dang ea sports game together.

759
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 4: I don't know if you remember that. I didn't.

760
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 2: We called a mad tournament.

761
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: We caught him mad tournament, and we were we were

762
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: pulling that out of our backside for sure. But I

763
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: figured if we could do that, we probably could do

764
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: some preseason games. So when Mark asked me, I was like, hell, yeah,

765
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: I want to be n D for sure. And Kevin

766
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: uh did a great job and if you haven't seen,

767
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: we've got to put it somewhere. It's got to be somewhere.

768
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: Shelby Coppece's sideline interview with C. J. Stroud really good,

769
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: was was really really good. Got him talk about some

770
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: things that I don't know that other people would have

771
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: gotten out of him. And you know, he talked about

772
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: if he didn't play quarterback, he'd play safety, right, but

773
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: he didn't think he had the wheels to do it.

774
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: How would have figured out?

775
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 3: He talked to his mom, So you know, when you

776
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,600

Speaker 2: out that Players Show.

783
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: Last year we started that and Andy would get a

784
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: player former Texan on and just literally turn the MIC's

785
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: on and just start going. And I mean, Owen Daniels

786
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: was one guy that I remember he had it with.

787
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: I think the job had Joseph he did a long

788
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: interview with and they're fantastic. I mean it's just you know,

789
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: ballplayers talking ball and that really was kind of what

790
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: we were doing during the during the broadcast, we just had

791
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: such a blast just talking football.

792
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 2: It was really really fun.

793
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: I'll go back to the sidelines for the rest of

794
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: the season with Mark and Andre and and as I

795
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: said to ND, after we we had played the Steelers

796
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: and we came back and we had them on that Monday,

797
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: and it was like, there's Mark to my left, and

798
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: now I'm on the phone with ND. I'm like, man,

799
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: it's like talking to my mistress with my wife in

800
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 1: the building right there next to me. But it worked

801
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: out great. We're all in the same family, so it's all.

802
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: It's all really really cool. But if you didn't get

803
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: a chance to watch our broadcast, you got NFL Network,

804
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: I would imagine still has that game. They're playing it.

805
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: They'll play our broadcast because we were the home team.

806
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: You can check it out on NFL Plus. Get that

807
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: so you can watch all the games. You can get

808
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: all the radio calls from there too as well. So

809
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: we had a tremendous time. Kevin Kugler is the best.

810
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: He is the best. He's been doing the play by

811
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: play for our preseason games on TV for ten years

812
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: and you never know, I mean he's risen to a

813
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: point where he's doing Fox NFL every single week. It

814
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: is west Wood won. He does all College World Series

815
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: games play by play.

816
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: He's just just tremendous.

817
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: And after leaving Pittsburgh he went to a game in

818
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: Detroit for baseball. He did I think he did a

819
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: Tiger's Twins game or something like that. I'm like, dang,

820
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: that dude is talented. And of course Shelby Coppage did

821
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: a great job down on the sideline, so it was

822
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 1: so much fun being with them. Shelby did a great

823
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: job down on the sidelines. I mean she was nervous

824
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 1: about doing it for the first time, but I thought

825
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 1: she did greater. Interviews were tremendous, and Dave Keeney pulled

826
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: it all together. He was a producer. He said us

827
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: this really nice email afterwards, and we're like, man, you're

828
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: the one that had to kind of dance with this

829
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: three man booth. I mean, you're the one that had

830
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, put it together, and you're the

831
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: one kind of, you know, pushed us to do it.

832
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: And we're like, all right, so let's make it happen,

833
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: and we definitely did. It was a blast, but back

834
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: to the sidelines. Man, that's where I live. I love

835
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: it and I can't believe we're going right back to

836
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: Indian week one.

837
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 2: Man, that is going to be an absolute blast. Now.

838
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: Indy made a little noise because they did release a

839
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: few players, including a former Houston Cougar, a Richmond, Texas

840
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: native is very rich today.

841
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 2: And the Tennessee Titans made a move at quarterback.

842
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: No nothing with Will Levis, but a guy that was

843
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: very polarizing in the draft process is now his way

844
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: to Green Bay. Well, let's cuss all that next right

845
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: here on Texans All Access One final Segment's Money edition

846
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: of Texans All Access. John Harris Football OUTSIDEID Reporter did

847
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: some TV during pre season, which we talked about last

848
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: segment with my man, Indy Klue, Kevin Cougler, the very

849
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: talented Shelby Coppage. It was a very fun experience. And

850
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: this is doubled across this tweet. It got retweeted. I

851
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: missed it when it was earlier. It's baseball, but I'll

852
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: get to some news in the NFL. But it just

853
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: blew my mind.

854
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 2: This guy, Danny Jansen in June.

855
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: In June was at bat for the Blue Jays against

856
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. The game was suspended at that moment

857
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: due to rain. He was then traded to the Red

858
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: Sox in July, so when they resumed the suspended game,

859
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: he was playing.

860
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 2: For the other team. That's wild. That is absolutely wild.

861
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

862
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: I guess wild stuff happening in baseball. Probably the wildest thing,

863
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: and probably the not wildest thing is the Mariners losing

864
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: a lead and then losing a manager and the Astros

865
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: doing your thing at the time of the year that

866
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: we expect them and want them to.

867
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

868
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: News across the league star with Texans. Here's what we

869
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: know thus far for as rumored or as sourced out

870
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: if you will, four players from the Texans out on

871
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: Twitter that have been released off It's live in Teter Island.

872
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: Liebackers of Phillips and Tarique Barnes, and defensive lineman McTelvin.

873
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 2: A game Sosa. I would think Sosa is gonna be

874
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 2: a candid for the practice squad.

875
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: Look, anybody that's released or waived, depending on your years

876
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: of service, is released or waived. So if you're released

877
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: and you can sign on their team, that means you

878
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: got years of service in the NFL if you're waived.

879
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 2: And you're not, and so you just have to be

880
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 2: subject to waivers process.

881
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: So those four are going to be, I believe, subject

882
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: to waivers process.

883
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 4: I believe.

884
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: So we'll see if any of those four end up

885
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: back on practice squad for the Texans, But as of

886
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: right now, they have been released, and that works the

887
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: same way for everybody in practice squad. You get released,

888
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: go through waivers, didn't get claimed, Okay, you come back

889
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 1: on practice squad.

890
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: So we'll see what ends up happening.

891
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: Tomorrow is the day, and it'll probably start early in

892
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: the morning. You'll start seeing a little bit more, a

893
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: little bit more. The Texans have always been I don't

894
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: know traditionally is the right way of saying it, but

895
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: traditionally they have been we're gonna announce it all at

896
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 1: the same time, all at once later in the day.

897
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: So we'll see when the official announcement will come.

898
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 2: From the Texans.

899
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: The practice squad announcement cannot happen until Wednesday, even if

900
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: it does happen, but I think that's when you can

901
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: start making practice squad decisions and guys remaining on practice

902
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: squads and all that kind of stuff on Wednesday, So

903
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: roster by three o'clock tomorrow. Get down to the fifty three. Okay,

904
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: these are fifty three guys we've got as of now.

905
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: And I always feel like I have to say that

906
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:41,720
Speaker 1: because that fifty three man roster is this fluid, full

907
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: of motion, water just all over the place. It is

908
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: not concrete, it is not set in stone. I always

909
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: feel like I have to say that that thing can

910
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: change within twenty four hours. And there have been times

911
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: I remember in the past. I remember John Weeks. This

912
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: was gosh a few years ago, remember John Weeks seeing

913
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: John Weeks was released and I lost it. I mean Weeks,

914
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite guys Texans otherwise I've ever met,

915
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: and he's tremendous, and I'm.

916
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: Like, they just waved him, they got they released. I

917
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 2: was panicking. I was like, oh my god, I was

918
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 2: freaking out.

919
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: Well, then come to find out it was really just

920
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: kind of a roster machination thing that they had to

921
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: release him to be able to bring him back so

922
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: they could move one other person away. So there are

923
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: a lot of things that kind of happened that at

924
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: first you may see it and go WHOA, but then

925
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, maybe that's just kind of a like

926
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: with week See, it ended up being kind of this

927
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: roster machination thing that you had to do, and it

928
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: just made sense. You're like, hey, we see, we'renna bring

929
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: you right back, but we got to release you so

930
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 1: we can then kind of move some stuff over here.

931
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: So we're gonna move you over here, move this over here,

932
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: then bring you back and then move that out.

933
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:55,959
Speaker 2: If that all makes sense.

934
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: And so there should be some things that happened, but

935
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 1: as we know it right now, those are the four

936
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: players that have been released. Now there may have been

937
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: more today, it just hasn't been announced or unearthed on

938
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: Twitter or social media. One other one that Aaron Wilson

939
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: reported during the show is Feler Aeria's pain. The rookie

940
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: at Virginia Tech injured his hamstring. It sounds as if

941
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna be waved injured and then at some point

942
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: when healthy, potentially can come back to the Texas practice squad.

943
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 2: We'll see how that goes.

944
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: But I thought Felderius for a couple of weeks that

945
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: he was here and with the Texans, I thought he

946
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: did some good things, very active, quick quick feet, a

947
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 1: guy that can rush the quarterback. A little bit undersized,

948
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: but a guy that could get after it inside and

949
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: was doing some things.

950
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: Especially the Giants game.

951
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: You can see him around the quarterback a number of times,

952
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: and it's just unfortunately guy gets hurt Mike Brandon Hill

953
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: did the other.

954
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 2: Day, like Chris Boyd did the other day.

955
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: You know, guy's playing for the football lives in some sense,

956
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: and getting hurt in that game so unfortunate.

957
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 2: But hopefully those guys all get back on their feet. Okay.

958
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: Other news, I.

959
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: Mentioned Richmond, Texas's own Seadee Lamb and Richard text's a

960
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: place close to my heart.

961
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 2: It's my hometown.

962
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb signs a FOIA deal for one hundred and

963
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: thirty six million dollars. It includes one hundred million guaranteed

964
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: and a thirty eight million dollars signing bonus, the largest

965
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: ever for a wide receiver. So somewhere in Cincinnati, Jamar

966
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:27,479
Speaker 1: Chase is like, Hey, Bengals, it's time, let's go. Justin

967
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: got his CD, got his I'm in their category. I'm

968
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: living on the same floor as they do. Justin's home

969
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: might be a little prettier than CDs. I think I'm like, justin,

970
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: get me paid now. Jamar Chase has gone back to practice.

971
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 1: He's not holding in anymore apparently, but Ceedee Lamb gets

972
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: his deal now. A player that is now has been

973
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: holding out continues to hold out, and that's Trent Williams,

974
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: left tackle for the forty nine ers. He wants some

975
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: contract adjustments. And if you're kind of thinking, I feel

976
00:44:58,520 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: like I've heard this before. If you go back in

977
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: the wayback machine to twenty seventeen, the Texans had a

978
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: left tackle but name of Dwayne Brown.

979
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 2: Loved Dwayne. Dwayne wanted some contract adjustments.

980
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: The Texans weren't willing to do it, so Dwayne basically

981
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: sat out the first I think it was for seven

982
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: games of the year. I think played in Seattle for

983
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: the Texans, and then turned around, got traded to Seattle

984
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 1: the next week, and then was playing in Seattle for Seattle.

985
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 2: If you follow that, I don't think.

986
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: Trent Williams be traded, But the forty nine ers have

987
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: not gotten that taken care of, so Trent continues to

988
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: hold out. The Titans made a trade. They traded their

989
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 1: number three quarterback, Malik Willis. He was a third round

990
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: draft pick a couple of years ago for the Tennessee Titans.

991
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: He started against US twice. In twenty twenty two, they

992
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: brought in Will Levis. Last year as a rookie, Will

993
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 1: started against US twice. Malik was pushed to essentially number

994
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: three spot. Then it was a competition for number two

995
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: this year with Mason Rudolph. Rudolf played him, and so

996
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: the Packers end up with a backup to Jordan Love.

997
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: Now just kind of following it from both sides, it sounds.

998
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: As if the Packers are like, hey, yeah, cool, we

999
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: need some backup help, and the Titans are like, all right, good,

1000
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: we'll take a seventh round pick because we weren't gonna

1001
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: get anything for it.

1002
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 2: So sounds like it's kind of a win win on

1003
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 2: both sides.

1004
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: But you've got Malik Willis leaving the Titans and going

1005
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: to the Green Bay Packers.

1006
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 2: So some stuff happening in the AFC South. Speaking of

1007
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: AFC South.

1008
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: The Colts made some cuts today, including former University of

1009
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: Houston quarterback turned wide receiver Greg Ward. Now Ward had

1010
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: just gotten with the Colts, so maybe that is maybe

1011
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: they knew all along they were gonna bring it back

1012
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: on practice squad. But as I said earlier, you got

1013
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: to make that transaction first to release him, and then

1014
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: they'll see.

1015
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: If they ge him back on practice squad.

1016
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 1: So the Colts ended up making nine moves. They released

1017
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: former textan Derek Rivers, they got rid of Houston Cougar

1018
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: Greg Ward. And this one's a little surprising, just a

1019
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: little bit. Safety Ronnie Harrison Junior. He's done some things

1020
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: for the Colts in the past. Kind of a linebacker

1021
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: safety hybrid, and that's probably why he got cut, is

1022
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: because they probably want him and need him to be

1023
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: a safety and he's more a linebacker. So they got

1024
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: rid of Harrison Junior, Derrek Rivers, Greg Ward, and then

1025
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: they waived a few players, including kicker Spencer Strader and

1026
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: quarterback Keton Slovas. The Broncos have got a lot of

1027
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: rumors out there. They're trying to trade Tim Patrick, They're

1028
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: trying to trade Smaj p Ryan. Sean Payton is trying

1029
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,399
Speaker 1: to put his stamp as the second year head coach

1030
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: on that team. We know Bo Nicks is taking over

1031
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: as head coach, but Smaj p Ryan, apparently available for trade,

1032
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: can't find his way in a crowded backfield. I don't

1033
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: think it makes sense for the Texans, but le Broncos

1034
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: made some moves today as well. Tomorrow it will break loose,

1035
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: the floodgates will open, Teams will be posting them fifteen

1036
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 1: to twenty cuts and releases and all that kind of stuff.

1037
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: So we'll see if anything else happens with trades waivers.

1038
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: I think waiver claims will happen on Wednesday.

1039
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 4: But we'll see.

1040
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a big, big NFL day tomorrow. Stay
