2

Speaker 1: later on, Jillen Watkins, a new defensive back News Safety.

18
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from him a little bit. John mcclean's

19
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: gonna join us at eight thirty and share his thoughts

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: as to what will go down today as we are

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: three weeks Johnny from the opener. Three weeks from tonight,

22
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans start the twenty twenty season at Kansas City.

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: Are you ready, man? I will be. I will be.

24
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm kind of like the team. I'm

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: ramping up slowly but surely. Every single day. I think

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: about it stages. I think about training camp in stages.

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: We do the first ten days of training camp, live

28
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: up till the first game, and then after that we

29
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: start getting into game mode. But we're kind of thinking

30
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: at that point about the opener. Once we get beyond.

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: I know, I do this first set of shows. So

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: this is day number five, this is ending the first week.

33
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: We start the second week tomorrow. I'm starting to gear

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: up a little bit more, a little bit more, a

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: little bit more. I'm kind of like the team, just

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: ramping up a little by little until September tenth, and

37
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: hopefully were all ready to go on that night. And

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: jay Len Watkts you mentioned opener means a little bit

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: a little bit more promptly to him because you see

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: a family member on the other side Okay, well we'll

41
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: talk about that. We'll talk about a whole bunch of things.

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: The other day they did situational workout here. It was

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: very cool, cool to see everybody operate both sides of

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: the football. Bill O'Brien with the offense, but really it's

45
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly, the OC, doing the job. He's got the

46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: walkie talkie's calling the plays. He hangs out sideline, Johnny,

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on that, But I thought,

48
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: why don't I ask him about that? Among other things.

49
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: A visit with offensive coordinator Tim Kelly, coach doing what

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: I do. I watched the ball on every play, pretty

51
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: much doing what you do when you're coaching practice eleven

52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: on eleven? What are you watching for? Is it a

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: different thing on every play? How do you handle that

54
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: part of your job? So from a sideine, I'm trying

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: to see a first of all, making sure we're lined

56
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: up correctly and then be up. My eyes are really

57
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: on the defense to try and see where, um, you know,

58
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: what is it, what's the coverage, what's the front, and

59
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: then hopefully from there I should get an idea as

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: to where the ball should go, and my eyes should

61
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: should be able to find it through there. So, um,

62
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, trying to figure out again what the defensive

63
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: look is, making sure that the communication is clean at

64
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and then again you know, hopefully

65
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: being able to kind of get a jump as to

66
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: where we think that ball is going to go based

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: upon the look. I see you with the Waukee talkie.

68
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: So you really like that side of view as opposed

69
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: to being behind the offense. Yeah, some of that too

70
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: is probably you know, I see it better from behind,

71
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: but I just get into the flow of things and

72
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: i'd you know, kind of like to talk to the

73
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: defensive players occasionally, so I like to be up by

74
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: the action. But yeah, you know, you definitely get a

75
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: better better view from either behind it or you know,

76
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: way in front of it on either side. So, um,

77
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: you know that's something that I'm still continuing to continue

78
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: to work on. Sometimes my competitive juices get the best

79
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: of me there. All Right, the situational stuff, do you

80
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: guys talk about that maybe the night before or is

81
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: some of that done on the fly, Like I really

82
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: think we want to do this today. How do you

83
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: guys handle what you're going to do situationally? Sure, it's

84
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: kind of it's a little bit of all. Sometimes sometimes

85
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: especially if it's a really specific situation, maybe we'll get

86
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: a heads up. But today when we went on the field,

87
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: we just knew that there was going to be a

88
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: two minute situation and we knew we needed to score touchdown.

89
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: We didn't know the timeouts or the time or anything.

90
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: So it's really you know, training, you know, Coach weave

91
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: myself to get us into a game like situation where

92
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: there's not going to be a sheet of paper there,

93
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: you know, before the game saying hey, you're gonna have

94
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: two minutes. We're just trying to really train ourselves there

95
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: to make sure that we're all, you knows, as best

96
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: prepared as we can be come September tenth. All right,

97
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: so coach with Anthony Weaver, coach of the defense, does

98
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: he surprise you with blitzes or some exotic things? Do

99
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: you guys talk about that in advance, you say, hey,

100
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: give me some stuff today that Mike catch our guys

101
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: off guard? Or is that all a big surprise for

102
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball? Um. You know, we's really

103
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: good to work with. So anytime we need to see

104
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: something or we have anything going in, we make sure

105
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: that we communicate that with him, so so we're not

106
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, catching each other off guard, and we can

107
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: make sure that our players are as prepared as they

108
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: can be when they hit the field. With your quarterbacks,

109
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: how do you balance Hey, I want you to be

110
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: totally precise and execute every play perfectly with maybe this

111
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: is the time of year to take some risks and

112
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: see if you can squeeze the ball into that window

113
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: or not. How do you balance that? Yeah, that's a

114
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: great question. You know, it's kind of obviously as the

115
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: sean continues to grow, he gets a little bit more

116
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: leeway as far as that, you know, you want him

117
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: to kind of challenge himself and to see, like you said,

118
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: am I capable or can we do it this way?

119
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: Or can I you know, throw this ball there? And

120
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: did does a good job of really making sure he's

121
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: going through his reads and letting us know post snap.

122
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: You know, you'll see him on the field after after

123
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: he makes it throw. We will end up pointing to

124
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: somebody non saying like, hey, I saw that he was

125
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: open when I'm really trying to do this. So there's

126
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: definitely a fine balance there between making sure that we're

127
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: operating you know, at a functional level and making sure

128
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: that we can still continue to grow our talents in

129
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: our offense. Coach, thanks a lot for the time. Best

130
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: of luck the rest of the way. Thank you, sir.

131
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: I love that last comment. I love that one coach.

132
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: I saw that he was open. Okay, I saw a

133
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: com open across the middle, but I wanted to go

134
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: deep to fuller on that one, just to see what

135
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: I could get. And we were talking about this, Johnny,

136
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: this is the time of year to do that kind

137
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: of stuff. Yes, you do want to be flawless in

138
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: the execution of the simpler stuff, to check downs, the

139
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: safe stuff, if you will, to pocket changes you call it,

140
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: but you also want to test what you can get

141
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: away with. And I was curious about that. I was

142
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: also curious, and I asked a question about, Hey, do

143
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: you tell Anthony, like, send me a lot of dB

144
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: blitz today. I want to see how we handle that,

145
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: because those always seem like a big surprise to people. Hey,

146
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I didn't account for this safety or

147
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: this corner coming into the backfield at this particular moment.

148
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: And those are the kinds of things they're working on

149
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: out here. It feels like to that point about the

150
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: dB blitz, it feels like defensive back blitzes have grown

151
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: in stature throughout college and pro football. I mean, it

152
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: feels like they're we're seeing more of that than maybe

153
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: we've we've seen before. And I don't know if that's

154
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: just because the players that are playing those positions are

155
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: more suited to do it, but it just feels like

156
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: we're I feel like, you know, the more that I

157
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: watched tape this offseason of you know, different prospects, I'm

158
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: watching what teams are doing too, it felt like a

159
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: lot of colleges man dbs were coming a lot, and

160
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: it for good reason. I mean, it's it's the one

161
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: player that's really difficult to try and account for in

162
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: the blitz, depending on you know, what you're showing up front, etc.

163
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I'd like that fact. I mean, if

164
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: if your quarterback is good enough to say it, look,

165
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: Brando was open. I can that throw all day every day,

166
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: but I need to hit that fifteen yard dig route.

167
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: I need to hit that that. I gotta work on that.

168
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: That's something I've got to hit. And he can say

169
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: that to his coach and then when you go to

170
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: the film and you can see that yes, he's what

171
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: he told you was exactly the truth. Then you're like, okay, yeah, absolutely, yeah,

172
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: because he's gonna he's gonna have to drive that dig

173
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: route and hit that en route or seem or whatever

174
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: interior ball he's gotta you know, he's got to work

175
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 1: on those kind of things. And I think a perfect

176
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: example of that when they were doing the two minute

177
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: situation the other day, Deshan tried to throw two balls

178
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: down the middle of the field and he was a

179
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: bit high on both. He missed. I mean, Randall had

180
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: to go up and missed him, went right through it,

181
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: went through his fingertips. And they tried to hit Jordan

182
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Thomas down to see him and through high there as well.

183
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: So those are things that he knows he has to

184
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: work on. But man, my quarterback is sitting there telling me, yeah,

185
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: I look, this guy was over here, this guy was

186
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: over here. Those two were open, but I needed to

187
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: work on this and they were in this coverage, and

188
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: so I felt like this is a good time to

189
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: hit it. Man, I've got a really smart order back. Yeah,

190
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: and I feel really good about it. The older he gets,

191
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: the more experience he gets yep, uh, there's just gonna

192
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: be a lot of leeway, a lot of autonomy for

193
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson at the line of scrimmage. And Obee is

194
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: still involved, like he's practically in the huddle, but he's not.

195
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: You get the feeling it's just for communication purposes. He's

196
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: just monitoring everything. Um and Kelly's calling a place I

197
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: thought from the sideline though, verses behind the offense. I

198
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: was curious about that, and he said, yeah, I'd like

199
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: to talk to the defense to it. I'm thinking, oh,

200
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: wait a minute, talking trash to the defense during practice.

201
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: He might be. I don't know, he might be he's

202
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: a competitive guy. But no, I think he's I think

203
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: what he's asking he wants to know what coverage they

204
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: were in. Hey, what were you all doing? Oh? Yeah, Hey,

205
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: were you guys in four? Were you guys? Were you

206
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: guys in man Free? You know. I think he's I

207
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: think that's part of it. He wants to see that

208
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: part two. But I think, hey, that's smart. Yeah, that's

209
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: really bright. Absolutely, I mean to try and get a

210
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: feel for you know, it's it's testing you too. I

211
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: mean even I know for me, when I when I

212
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: sit down and I start watching. I started watching game tape.

213
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: It would be very helpful to have somebody next to

214
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: me going, hey, this this looks like quarters, but that's safeties,

215
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: that's safety. Is cheating up a little bit? Is this

216
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: is this middle field closed? Like to have somebody confirmed that, right.

217
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: And I was watching. The reason I got to thinking

218
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: about that was I was watching a film session with

219
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson and Eddie Jackson's safety for the Bears, and

220
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: they were they piled people play that Eddie Jackson came

221
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: up and made a run. He made a run stuff

222
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: he that tackle for a loss. It looked like he

223
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: was It looked like a run blitz because he just

224
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: took off and he turned to them and they were

225
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: asking him, Yeah, what's his blitz? Call? What he goes? No, no, no,

226
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: he goes, this was actually quarters, And he said, I

227
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: just took a chance because of the way they were

228
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: lined up and I was supposed to be in a

229
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: quarters coverage back there. But I saw what they were,

230
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: what they were in, I read the lineman. I knew

231
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: it was run. So I just took off like a shot.

232
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: And that's, you know, because I see that a lot,

233
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, just watching like I think it's a certain coverage,

234
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: but is it? And so you know Tim sitting there

235
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: and he can just yell out to the defense, Hey,

236
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: where are you all in? Hey that was covered two guys.

237
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: Hey we should be doing this against covered two. Why

238
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: why are we running that against covered two? Now, you

239
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: have a pretty good idea when you're standing back there

240
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: and seeing it. But sometimes you've got the off the

241
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: line moving, you got all kinds of things, and you

242
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: don't have eyes in the sky either, and that's where

243
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: you get the best view of what the defenses look

244
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: at that later but you get that later on. Now,

245
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: well we could help. I'm up here high. Yeah, if

246
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: he wants to consult me, I'll be like, yeah, coach, yeah,

247
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: throw the ball downfield. You know who lets your perch

248
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: by the way, Bill O'Brien, Oh so yes. The other

249
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: day he said something, but the music was blaring and

250
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: I didn't hear it. So over he was after one

251
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: of the drills and I was standing over here and

252
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: he started kind of walking towards me, and I'm I

253
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: just finished the live show, so I'm just kind of

254
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: standing there watching it was they were catching punts and

255
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: he looked over there and yelled something to me, and

256
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, haun. Then he started

257
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: walking towards you, and he was like, Vanny, you'll play

258
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: my play up there or what you told everybody is

259
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: a crappy practice right now, because it is. But we'll

260
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: turn around. We got time to turn around. Said that.

261
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: He kind of looked at me. He kind of looked

262
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: at me. It was like, we'll turn around. I'm like, yeah, coach,

263
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't saying anything like that. Yeah. We went on

264
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: the air. At the time, I didn't have the headset on,

265
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: but I couldn't hear him, and I felt bad. You know,

266
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: It's funny because to hear him say it louder, you're

267
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: fifty yards away, to hear him better. I actually took

268
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: my mask off. I'm like, this has no logic whatsoever.

269
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: But I feel like when I'm talking to people, and

270
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: that's what the mask is for, but I feel like

271
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: the communication is so bad with a mask on. Yeah,

272
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: and a mask and sunglasses, you might as well be

273
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: the UNI bomber. I mean seriously, it's like, Hi, can

274
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: I have you know? You know, you you go into

275
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: a store with a mask and sunglasses it looks like

276
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: a hold up, you know, you just I'm not used

277
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: to this, Johnny. It's very difficult. Well, I felt bad

278
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: to the day. I was walking in the I was

279
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: walking in the building and I was walking down the

280
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: way and a couple of guys come at me and

281
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: I recognize one of kim Er who was But then

282
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: I see the other one. I'm like, oh, hey, what's up,

283
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: Darren Fells? Oh, because he had the mask on. But

284
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 1: it wasn't Darren Fells, but it was just by that.

285
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: It was Rogert Johnson. Geez, that's so. But I wasn't

286
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: looking at boyd slim, but I wasn't looking at body type.

287
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: That wasn't the thing I was looking at. I was

288
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: looking at hair. Yeah, and they've got very similar kind

289
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: of uh kind of losing it a little bit upstairs,

290
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: And as soon as I got to out of my mouth,

291
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: I realized, no, that's not there, and that's that's Rod.

292
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: But the at first glance with the mask on, it's tough.

293
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: I see eyes and I see the top of the

294
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: head and I'm like, okay, that's as Darren Fells and realized, no,

295
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: no, no no, us, Rod, you know it's I was talking

296
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: to Brad Sham name drop. Thank you fine, Brad Sham,

297
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: the voice of the Dallas Cowboys. Uh. And by the way,

298
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: I just thought, and I apologize about the name dropping,

299
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: but you know this is part of the sports fan

300
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: in me because you know, Sham was in this league

301
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: when I was in college. He was doing games. He

302
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: was on the sideline for the catch Joe Mad, you know,

303
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: ripping the hearts out of the Cowboys fans. Thank you

304
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: for doing that. But you know, I Brad, and he

305
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: was a sideline reporter. Then he's been the play by

306
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: play announcing forever. He's seventy one years old. And he's like,

307
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: I was talking to Merrill uh this this morning, Meryl

308
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: Reese of the Eagles, and I'm thinking, geez, it's like

309
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: it's like hearing from Mount Olympus these guys. Anyway, he

310
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: was saying, you know, it's tough for us because you know,

311
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: you're you're down there in Tier two. And by the way,

312
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: the reason why I'm not is because I gotta be

313
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: around and other people too, more than you do, apparently,

314
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: and we have very limited spots. We had one spot

315
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: for a football analyst person and it was there was

316
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: no doubt it was gonna be you. Uh, and that's

317
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: that's all across the league right now, by the way, Yeah,

318
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: so and Johnny will travel with the team and do

319
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: all those things. But anyway, Brad was saying, and he's right,

320
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to get to know these guys. You know,

321
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: you can't get to know these these rookies. And you know,

322
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: I still have not met David Johnson, Randall Cobb, Brandon

323
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: Cooks in person. But I did do private zooms with them,

324
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: which sounds really bad when you word it that way.

325
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: Zoom interviews with them, private zooms, zoom interviews. You know

326
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: what entrepeur You know, some entrepreneurial spirit could hear that

327
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: and go private zoom rooms, private zoom. Yeah. It sounds bad, though,

328
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: it's just it's private, bad, worse than it actually sounds,

329
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: to be honest. I mean, you know, you could say

330
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: an exclusive one on one zoom. I mean you could,

331
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: you can say that. But you know, it's it's interesting

332
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: because I've thought about that too. Mark. You know, one

333
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: of the perks, if you will, about being with an

334
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: NFL team is that you do get to know the coaches,

335
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: you do get to know the players, a little bit.

336
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: They see you, they recognize you, you can chit chat,

337
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, you know about their families and you know,

338
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: how's everybody doing. I mean, I was just walking out

339
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: today and saw, you know, Cush. The other day, I

340
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: was walking in, I saw Brian. I was asking how

341
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: his boys are doing, because I can only imagine what

342
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: it's what it's like going through this whole thing with

343
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: with two Cushing boys that I know his wife has

344
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: had to deal with this entire time, and I know

345
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: that's got to be that's gotta be hard as all

346
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: get out. And so I was asking about it kind

347
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: of chuckles. Yeah, they're doing okay, you know, but they're

348
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: doing okay. I'm here and I don't have to deal

349
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: with it, so it's fine. But but you get to

350
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: know these guys a little bit. And I started thinking

351
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: about that. If there's any is there any negative to

352
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: all this, it's it's that. Yeah, it's that you really

353
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: don't get a chance to kind of, you know, make

354
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: that connection. And you know, I don't want to. I

355
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: want to talk to the players at some point and

356
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: just kind of chat with them about stuff, but I

357
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: don't really want to be you know, within six feet of.

358
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean in some respect. So it's like, yeah, it's

359
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: kind of a weird. It's a very weird, very weird

360
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: thing from that perspective. And you know, even the second

361
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: year guys, you think about it because with rookies, we

362
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: don't spend a lot of time with the rookies anyways.

363
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean, how much time do we get great point,

364
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: you don't get to know the rookies until year two,

365
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: and I always say it's year three when they really

366
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: come out of their shell. Now, Justin Reid was out

367
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: of his shell from day one. Okay, he's just that

368
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: kind of guy. There are certain guys who are like that,

369
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: super bright and super gregarious. You know they're gonna be

370
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: that way from day one, and they might break that

371
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: O'Brien and rookie protocol, which was a lot more stringent

372
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: in the earlier years. I get the field, don't you

373
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: don't you think so? Yeah? Kind of sort of. I

374
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: think it has to do with the guys they've drafted

375
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: where they trust him because remember when Titus got drafted,

376
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: they after he's drafted, they put him alone at the

377
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: podium with all the Houston media in there that would

378
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: handle it. Yeah, exactly because Titus can handle it, and

379
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: I think the guys they've they've drafted could absolutely I

380
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: think they could absolutely handle it. But but yeah, it's

381
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: the second year guys that I mean, you're almost a

382
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: year three, you're like, hey, who are you? But year

383
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: one of O'Brien, I mean, all right, Lewis Knicks obviously

384
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: did not work out as a player, but he had

385
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: all this great social media stuff and we wanted to

386
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: like get into that right away with him. He's like,

387
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: I'm just here to help the team, trying to be

388
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: a good teammate, and that's it. Yeah, Fedora Witch as well.

389
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: You know, we kind of got to know Fiedorwitz as

390
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: he was here and that that was a highly unfortunate

391
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: ending to his career with the sudden retirement due to concussion.

392
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: So it's just one of those things anyway, you know,

393
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon, speaking of Fedorowitz, Yeah, I went back. I

394
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: don't know why, always because I was watching Hard Knocks.

395
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: I was watching our Hard Knocks season and I don't

396
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: know why, but I was inspired to go back and

397
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: watch that Monday night football game. And with NFL Game Pass,

398
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: you can go back all the way to two thousand

399
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: and nine with games in which Sunday night games the Bengals,

400
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: So the Bengals to twenty fifteen game, he didn't playing

401
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: that though he did play in that. He did, he did.

402
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: He has a big catch across the middle. TJ just

403
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: throws a laser across them. No, it's Hoyer. It was

404
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: horrier because they end him getting a field goal on

405
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: his strive. He catches one and I just remember seeing

406
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: him catching just kind of lumber down field, and I thought, man,

407
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: that was a much bigger loss. Gosh. Then, yes, maybe

408
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: even we knew at the time. You know, he's coming

409
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: off that huge year in twenty sixteen where he has

410
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, fifty four catches or whatever, and he's a weapon.

411
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: And then twenty seventeen obviously has a concussion so only

412
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: plays two or three times. But watching him in twenty fifteen,

413
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: he hadn't really made his mark yet. He only made

414
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: one catch. But boy, he was a good blocker. I

415
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: mean the line of scrimmage. He would knock your block off.

416
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: And he was developing as a receiver. Had that big

417
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: catch in the Sunday night come back against the Colts,

418
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: and he was really coming around the tight Ends had

419
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: the record reception year in twenty sixteen because Brock wouldn't

420
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: throw the ball to anybody else. But look, they did

421
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: what they did, and because you know, when when a

422
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: certain position doesn't work out like that, then you have

423
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: to draft to compensate, right, And that's why these guys

424
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: are here, right. Spend third on Jordan a can spend

425
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: a sixth on Jordan Thomas, spent a third on Hollay Wearing.

426
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if you got f Doorwitz at least as

427
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: your basis and foundation, maybe you make one of those picks,

428
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: maybe one, maybe one. Yeah, but you don't have to

429
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: invest as much as you have. And I mean we

430
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: saw that with the offensive line too. I mean, think

431
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: about from twenty fourteen going forward with you know, the

432
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: starting line he had in fourteen. Then Chris moves out,

433
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: Ben moves in. After twenty fifteen, you know, I'm sorry,

434
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, then Brandy Brooks moves on, the be Jones

435
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: moves on, and now you look up and it's like, whoa,

436
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: we now have to put a lot of resources into

437
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: this offensive line. And they have. But you know, because

438
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: you had some attrition and you had some injuries, and

439
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: because you had a player or two that didn't develop

440
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: the way that you needed them to by e Zavier.

441
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: So Philo, you're holding the bag in twenty seventeen, going, man,

442
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: we've got this dynamic thread at quarterback and we've got

443
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: Bruno Jacomini at right tackle. So you then sink the

444
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: resources into it and you get it right, you know,

445
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: And so now you don't have to sink as many resources.

446
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: You can't take a fourth rounder at Charlie. Heck, that

447
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: can be a young guy that you don't need right

448
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: away to perform. You just need him to learn every

449
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: single day, be available every single day, and and mature

450
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: at a at a reasonable pace. You're not thrown into

451
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 1: the fire in a year in which you've had all

452
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: this COVID stuff. You don't have to throw them into

453
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: the fire. You got the top, you got your five

454
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: guys up front. You know, you know what's missing from

455
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: this camp. By the way, and I want to get

456
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: into a little fifty three talk, and we had a

457
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: little bit of that yesterday, but we discussed it and

458
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: we went with that practice squad with the sixteen players

459
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: on the practice squad four protected. So you're really dealing

460
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 1: with a fifty seven man roster because you never have

461
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: to expose those guys. You're gonna put on the practice

462
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: squad in that four protected group to the waiver wire.

463
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: No one's gonna get a whiff at them, so you're

464
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: really protecting those guys, and it's it takes away from

465
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: some of the position battles. You know, to this, I

466
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: always say it's Dick Vitel predicting the nc DOUABAA tournament.

467
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: You know, I always used that metaphor or that analogy.

468
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: Rather it's a metaphor and an analogy anyway. It's kind

469
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: of like when you have that first four tournament in

470
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: the NCAA. Now it takes away from the fun of

471
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: naming your sixty It used to be sixty five because

472
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: he had one playing game in Dayton. It was weird.

473
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: But now you have that first four tournament, it's like,

474
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, the bubble teams, it's just not as much fun.

475
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: And the bubble players for content purposes, might not be

476
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: as much fun, but it's great for their employment opportunities,

477
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: and it's great for the team too, because you have

478
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: guys who can certainly help you win football games and

479
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna need him this year. I still say though,

480
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: that with the lack of positives around the league, when

481
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: all these if all thirty two teams really handle their

482
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: business well, the games are going to be relatively I

483
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: can't say meaningless in terms of COVID contact because of

484
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: the travel aspect and being in a hotel and maybe

485
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: a little bit on the plane, but I would doubt

486
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: that because that plane is gonna be fumigated. Oh yeah,

487
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: so I think that they'll be pretty well protected COVID wise,

488
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: as long as they individually the players handle their business

489
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: when they're away from their building and their regular lives. Yeah,

490
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: and you hope they do that. Yeah, you hope they

491
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: do that. I know it's kind of been in stages.

492
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: It was interesting because when the NFL that came out

493
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: with the schedule, like, hey, we're going or going as

494
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: planned July twenty fifth. The Texas are reporting, the chiefs

495
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: are reporting, and everybody's gonna report on time. We've come

496
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: to the agreement, the NFL and NFLPA, this is how

497
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. And they came up with all

498
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: his plan and there was you know, I don't say vitriol,

499
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: but there was, Oh, there's no way why are they

500
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: reporting on time? They can't do that, And they reported

501
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: on time. They're gonna have so many tested positive, they're

502
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna be in the same building. They're all gonna infect

503
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: each other. And then they started doing some otia stuff

504
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: or conditioning stuff and OTA stuff, and it's like, oh, yeah,

505
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: well wait, wait when they put on pads. When they

506
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: put on pads and they start hitting, you know that

507
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: that's when you're gonna get a bunch of cases. And

508
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: they've had one case in the last throughout the entire

509
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: league in the last week, it is. And everybody's hitting now. Yeah,

510
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: everybody's hitting now. And it is true though, that one

511
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: or two positives could really spoil the whole bunch. One

512
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: bad apple could spoil the whole bunch. And not that

513
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's a judgment thing, but if if you

514
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: get it, if one player gets it, obviously it can

515
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: spread quickly. And I hope that's not the case. You know,

516
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: coming up in the nine o'clock Ara, Bill O'Brien's gonna

Speaker 1: and misinformation being shared about COVID nineteen. Houston Methodist wants

606
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: to share the facts. COVID nineteen is a serious and

607
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: potentially deadly illness and you can infect others, including loved ones,

608

00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: each do our part, wear a mask, wash your hands,

610
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: stay six feet apart keeping Houston safe as a team effort. Together,

611
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: we can make our city healthy and vibrant again. Visit

614
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: In the books, no JJ Watt out there again, but

615
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: that means opportunity for Charles and Mena who who's been

616
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: taking a lot of Watt snaps and has looked very

617
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: very good. Opportunity knocking for young players as well. Isaiah Coulter,

618
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: the rookie receiver, making some big plays. Quarterback John Reid

Speaker 1: another rookie, looking like a veteran in some of the

620
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: drills as well. Rough day for Corn Higgden, who fumbled

621
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: near the goal line on a drill and then was

622
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: stopped twice at the goal line a little later in practice.

Speaker 1: at the Houston Methodist Eating Center, Texas Training Camp Live

631
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: presented by Exfinity. I was talking to our engineer Chain

632
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: and you know what I didn't even know we were

633
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 1: coming back, but the alarm in my head went off. Johnny,

634
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm like a quarterback, and I could feel that pass

635
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: rouge coming even when I don't see it. Yeah, I know,

636
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: I know the break is ending. I just feel it

637
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: good that. Yeah, that's that's what it is. I can't now,

638
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: not all right, radio brag in three two one, just

639
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: from all my days back timing into the network news

640
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,479
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour, things like that. I

641
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: could tell I could time three minutes for you, like

642
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: within five seconds, just standing still right, No, I'm I'm

643
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,239
Speaker 1: sure I can't. Most radio people can. You know, so

644
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: many sixties and done so many lives. Most radio I'm

645
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: not this. It's not a brag really because like everybody

646
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: in radio can do that. All right, let's the General's

647
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: on with us, I would imagine, right, I think you

648
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: we got him, Ben, We have John McClain from the

649
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: Houston Chronicle in Texas Sports Nation. I don't know. Maybe

650
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: you know it's a word named radio business. I learned

651
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: speaking radio business. You know what today is? Thirteenth anniversary

652
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: starting in this business. No, yeah, August twentieth, two thousand

653
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: and seven. I remember that because I hated you guys

654
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: at that other station that doesn't exist anymore. Yeah, I

655
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: probably hated you too. No, but I liked you, Johnny,

656
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: because you were on Sports Radio six ten back in

657
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: the days when I first started on the station doing

658
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: the nine to eleven shift. That's right, I did nine

659
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: to eleven by myself from out of the market. How

660
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: did that go? Anyway? I had a good time. But Johnny,

661
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: we used to visit and talk college football with the

662
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: morning crew, and that was good. I mean, you were

663
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: really I was like, this guy really knows what he

664
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: was talking about. Yes, what does he do? Go all

665
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: the way back to ninety eight you were doing that,

666
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: and then I did it with the morning show from

667
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: and then starting in two thousand and two, moving forward.

668
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: I remember I was in studio one day. I had

669
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: come in studio actually that weekend that I was finding

670
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: out about that that radio station, and I was leaving

671
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: a studio and you were walking in, and I thought

672
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: it was the coolest thing to have met you, Like, oh, man,

673
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: I know a play by play, I know, Wow, I

674
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: met Mark. I mean I thought it was the coolest

675
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: thing that I met you. And now you're really disappointed.

676
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: I still think it's really cool. No, not disappointed. Let's

677
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: let's get to the general. John mcclaim from the Houston Chronicle, General,

678
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: what do you make of this bubble idea for the

679
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: postseason that Sean Peyton has any legs to that? Whatsoever?

680
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: Do you really need it at this point, although maybe

681
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: you will down the line. What do you think? Well,

682
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: first of all, I thought it was an honor to

683
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: meet both of you guys, and so there's no way

684
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: of knowing. What if they don't have a bunch of

685
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: positive talls, what if regular season is like it is

686
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: in preseason? And minute Skill the mout why in the

687
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: world would you want to bubble? And what he says Bubble,

688
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: he's talking about what they're doing at training camp. There's

689
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: the only team doing it where every player is in

690
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: a hotel. You know, every team has the option. Every

691
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: team has a preseason hotel where most rookies want to

692
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: be because they don't have places to live. And then

693
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: the veterans want to go home, some veterans that they're

694
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: moving or something like that. They've given up the place

695
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: an off season, they need to get another one. They

696
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: stay in a hotel till camp's over. But I think

697
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, as long as they play sixteen games, they're

698
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: not going to be letting any more teams in the playoffs. Baseball,

699
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: of course has sixteen and they're talking about having a

700
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: bubble in California. But the term bubble, you know what

701
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: they do in the NBA, that's a bubble. But I

702
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: can't imagine taking an NFL team and if you go

703
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, you've got to be in a

704
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: hotel and you can't leave. Only if there's a big

705
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: outbreak of positive tasks after they start playing against each other.

706
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: But considering how few of them have tested positive, it

707
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: doesn't look like if you bleed and sweat and spin

708
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: on each other that if the guy's not positive, you

709
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about it other than the ordinary

710
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: getting blood, spat and sweated on. Yeah, I mean, I

711
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: guess as you don't have house parties going on like

712
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: in college, you're not gonna end up with these clusters

713
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: of COVID because it feels like every university you got

714
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: together and said, yeah, let's throw a house party, and

715
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: then thirty five positives on campus. Uh duh. And by

716
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: the way, John, the very first time I ever did

717
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: radio with you, I was really really intimidated and you

718
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: made me feel right at home. So just wanted you

719
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: to know that for future reference anyhow. Thank you. That's

720
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: the way I felt with Mark. Yeah, me too, trust

721
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: me Mark or John. We're about five days and six

722
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: days in to what we've seen of them in practice

723
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: they obviously we're going for about a week and a

724
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: half prior to. If you can, what have you seen

725
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: as a positive surprise? I as surprise might be a

726
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: little strong, but just something that's pleased you that maybe

727
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: you weren't expecting on the positive side, and then give

728
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: me one on the other side, something that you were

729
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: maybe expecting to happen that hasn't that has maybe been

730
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: a little bit disappointing to start camp. I'm writing a

731
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: column for Sunday and my as a bell of Brian

732
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: about this today. Because they'll never admit it. Tell me

733
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: once starting job that's available one, there's not one. They've

734
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: never had this kind of stability, and most of their

735
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: backup jobs are settled because they've got veterans and they

736
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of draft choices to step in.

737
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 1: So that's the thing, and I'm writing Sunday Bill O'Brien

738
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: has more stability than he's ever had. And I'm not

739
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: saying they're going to Super Bowl. I'm just saying they

740
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: don't have positions up for grabs. Last year, at this time,

741
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: they still didn't know they're left tackles Julie on Davenport,

742
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: right tackle Shantro Anderson. They didn't know if Titus Howard's

743
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: going to play right left or guard, if Max Sharping

744
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: was gonna play right guard or center. And now they

745
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: don't have any worries, and so I guess depth there's

746
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: always something they look for. But if they had to

747
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: play Sunday, this team would be in good shape. They've

748
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: lost one guy for the season, du Casual four it

749
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: was out last season, and they're taking it easy on

750
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: a lot players as they ramp up with their own

751
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: schedule to get them in football shape. But I think

752
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: this team is in good position now. When they finally

753
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: have their scrimmage that Bill O'Brien told us about, maybe

754
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: they'll get somebody hurt. I think the big question mark

755
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: not in the offensive the line or wide receiver. Only

756
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: injuries are an issue at wide receiver. Top three tight

757
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: ends are set, two running backs are set. Really. The

758
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: defensive line is set. It is just a matter of

759
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: who's going to get playing time off the bench. The

760
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: four linebackers are set with John Garnard and Martin and

761
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: Dylan Cole and Peter Calumbaya. Is the backups. There's a

762
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: lot of corners, I guess figuring out who's gonna play

763
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: with Bradley Roby. Is it gonna be Lying Johnson Junior,

764
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: Gary On Connley Connolly's battered injuries. But to me, the

765
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 1: big question mark is Eric Murray. I wrote about him

766
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: two days ago. He's looked good out here. He plays up,

767
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: he plays back, he plays he can play nicol. You know,

768
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: he's played corner and he's gonna be He should be

769
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: a really good guy on special teams. But he has

770
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: not been a regular starter on another team. So they

771
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: gave the starters money to me, Eric Murray. Last line

772
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: of defense is the only question I have up to

773
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: this point. Even if you know John Wakes the greatest

774
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: snapper in NFL history, Tamy Fair, Baron and Bryan Anger

775
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: back after a great year, they're set there as well.

776
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: And the return maybe returns tik Qt instead of DeAndre Carter.

777
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: So this team is basically set, but Bill will never

778
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: admit that. Of course. Well, the tight end situation, John,

779
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: I think that against certain matchups that would affect playing

780
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: time and maybe who's on the field first. But I

781
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: get what you mean about the starters. And along those lines,

782
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Thomas, what do you make of what he might

783
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: be able to contribute this year after missing last year

784
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: being on I are then finally getting on the field,

785
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: but one catch and it was kind of a throwaway

786
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: year for him. He's been a big the biggest surprise

787
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: here to me because I thought he and Holly Wearing

788
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: would be battling each other for that third spot, but Wearing,

789
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: you know you can't make the club in the tub.

790
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: The top three tight ends to me had left him

791
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: and he doesn't have preseason to prove himself and Thomas

792
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: of all the players, and there weren't high expectations with

793
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Thomas coming in out of shape last year then

794
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: getting hurt and contributing so little, while Darren Fell has

795
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: emerged and Jordan Nakins in his second year, so they're

796
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna make it tougher on Tim Kelly about how to

797
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: use them when the throw with him, the Texans had

798
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 1: a lot of offensive weapons, and they ran the ball

799
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 1: fewer times last season anytime in O'Brien's career, and because

800
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: the emphasis went to Sean Watson wisely, and I'm sure

801
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly will do that again. The biggest problem, man,

802
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: and I've told you those guys afore, and I know

803
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: you agree. The biggest problem, there's only one football for

804
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: the passing game. Yeah, man, that's true. On the other

805
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: side of the ball, John Zach Cunningham is a guy

806
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: going into his fourth year. It feels like the Texans

807
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: definitely want to keep him around, trying maybe get a

808
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: contract extension to him. How important does he become to

809
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: this defense now he's in his fourth year and extra

810
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: Bnarger McKinny. You know, it's interesting outside linebackers because the

811
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: pass rushers in three fours are more important inside linebackers.

812
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: So a lot of teams are not putting money in

813
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 1: the inside linebackers. But McKinny is downed two years ago

814
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: his extension. Cunningham is in the last year's contract. We

815
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: want to keep him. Deshaun Watson's contract is the top priority,

816
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: and I still believe they'll get him before the season starts.

817
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: And then Cuttingham. You know, if he runs out, he's

818
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: going to be a free agent, or he's going to

819
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: be sign a deal in the off season, or he

820
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: could be franchise next year. But he's very valuable. You know,

821
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: no linebacker they have can cover like he does. He does.

822
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't rush much because they don't want him to.

823
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: He's not a linebacker, makes tackles in the secondary. He

824
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: makes him in the backfield with the line of scrimmage.

825
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: And they love they're inside linebackers, both second round picks.

826
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: And I think they'll get it done, deal done with him,

827
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: but not before watching. John, thanks so much for joining us.

Speaker 1: presented by Affinity. Now, let's break down the secondary here, Johnny,

937
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: because I've got some questions for you, okay, And one

938
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: notable thing about this group is there are no rookies

939
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: other than John Reid, and you drafted him. I mean,

940
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: usually you feel like you've got hot and cold rookies,

941
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: you know, cornerbacks. Joe mcgiller Cutty from Popcorn State is

942
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: trying to make it as an undrafted free agent. What

943
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: do you think, you know, like you have guys like that,

944
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: and you don't have that this year because limited numbers.

945
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: And they liked the experience. So let me throw some

946
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: names at you. And we gotta go quick here because

947
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it's so there's so many guys all right.

948
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: Justin Reid he's the man in the secondary. He controls

949
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,919
Speaker 1: everything back there, and you can tell in year three

950
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: he has taken upon himself as he should because he's

951
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: got the I would say, the most experience, but he

952
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: just understands everything in that back end. I think that

953
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: I think having b Mack and Zach and linebacker and

954
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: Justin Reid in the back gives Anthony Weaver a lot

955
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: of confidence, a lot of confidence. Justin Reid has played

956
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: this this camp like he's trying to prove something, and

957
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's got to prove because last

958
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: year he played with a torn laboram all year and

959
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: played at such a high level. This year he could

960
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: break out even further. I'd like to see him create

961
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 1: turnovers a little bit more, but he's the un questioned

962
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: leader in that secondary, no doubt. Bradley Robie. I love

963
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: the speed. He can match up with a guy like

964
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. He could play in the slot, he plays outside.

965
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: There were games last year where he was just on.

966
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: At the Patriots game, he was incredible, and that's the

967
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: kind of play that we've got to have. I feel

968
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: like just listening to him and just seeing him in

969
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: the hallways. He's a completely different dude than he was

970
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: a year ago. At this time. A year ago, at

971
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: this time, he was still in that I gotta prove myself.

972
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: I gotta prove myself. He's well beyond that. He is,

973
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 1: I think, really comfortable here in Houston, being a quiet leader,

974
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: and you can just see more joy in his face.

975
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he just he feels very comfortable and it

976
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: looks like he's very happy to be here. And I

977
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: like seeing that with Bradley Roby not on that one

978
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: year tryout dealon Conley has been a bit banged up,

979
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: but he's coming back. Yeah, he'll come back. And when

980
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: you see Garry On, you just see everything you want

981
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: in a corner length size, speed can run. He quietly

982
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: had a very good second half of the year once

983
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: he got here. He made a key playing a game

984
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: against the Jackson London. I talked to him a couple

985
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: of weeks ago during media day and he just kind

986
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: of quiet guy, just kind of goes about his business.

987
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: But he's really close to Roby. You know. He was

988
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: Roby's little brother at Ohio State when Robi was a

989
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,399
Speaker 1: senior and or junior, and he was a freshman coming in,

990
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: so that comfortability I think really helped Gary on and

991
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: I think he will see more of that this year.

992
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: He'll play on a perimeter, that's his spot. He'll play

993
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 1: at a perimeter corner. And you've got Conley and Roby

994
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: and I'm sure one guy you're gonna ask me about

995
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: it just a little bit, all right, What about Lonnie Johnson? Yeah, exactly.

996
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: He thought he might be a safety. That's the prediction

997
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: I was talking about, but right now not happening at appears.

998
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: But what do you think? Well, yeah, I've always said

999
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: that I think that he will eventually go to safety,

1000
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: but I hope what he does is he makes a

1001
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: pit stop at defensive back. And what I mean by

1002
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: that is was he a corner? Is his safety? Yes?

1003
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: So he can do a lot of different things. So

1004
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: he becomes your game plan chess piece. So how much

1005
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: of this game plan this week? Can we have Lonnie

1006
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: on as tight end? How much can we move line

1007
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: down into the box? Can Lonnie play the nickel or

1008
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the inside spot receiver as the nickel? Is

1009
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: he gonna be your dime linebacker? And when you go dime,

1010
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: which is a spot that guys like Eddie Pleasant have

1011
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: played before. That's a great spot for him, depending on

1012
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: what you have behind him. So to me, Lonnie is

1013
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: a is a perfect chess piece in this whole defense,

1014
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: and to have a guy like that, I think is

1015
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: hugely valuable. Eventually, eventually he will go to safety, but

1016
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: I think this year he just plays defensive back, and

1017
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: he plays a lot of different spots. Eric Murray. I

1018
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: like what I've seen from Murray thus far. I still

1019
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: hear people banging on Eric Murray about oh, the contract

1020
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: and oh he's a backup player this, and they're having

1021
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: to rely on a guy that's never started before. I

1022
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: understand the trepidation, but you can't have all forty six

1023
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: players having experienced at some point point starting experience. I mean,

1024
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: you're bringing back, you know, seemingly a boatload of starters,

1025
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: or at least guys that have had experience in this offense,

1026
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: and you've added a couple of veterans and cooks and

1027
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: cop that probably will start at some point. But for

1028
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 1: the most part, defensively, you're kind of run it back

1029
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: mode except for that one spot at safety. And I

1030
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: think Eric Murray, with his ball skills, I think he

1031
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: gives them a great chance to create even more turnovers

1032
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 1: because he can't cover. He's not a tremendous cover guy

1033
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: because he would been be a corner if he were that.

1034
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: But he does have the ability to cover. He understands

1035
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: breaking on the ball, making plays on the ball. I

1036
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,280
Speaker 1: think he's gonna help generate turnovers back there. Obviously remains

1037
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: to be seen when you go into a full mode tackling.

1038
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: I remember Raheem Moore came here in fifteen and it

1039
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 1: was like he couldn't tackle his own shadow. So we'll

1040
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: see whether Eric is at least able to tackle, and

1041
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: that will happen on September tenth. He's gonna have to.

1042
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: But at least with Justin Reid back there, you feel

1043
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: pretty good about what you have at safety, and you

1044
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: throw Murray back there and say, okay, compliment one another,

1045
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: and I think they do, and Justin Reid talked about that.

1046
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: Eric Murray talked about that. They do compliment each other.

1047
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: As Justin said, thunder and lightning. Vernon Hargraves, he's your

1048
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 1: inside corner. He's the guy gonna play inside. I think

1049
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: you know Tampa Bay drafted him. They thought, okay, we

1050
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: could play money outside and they realized, no, he's not

1051
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: not really a fit. I mean, he's not the biggest

1052
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: guy in the world, but for matching up against the

1053
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: slot receivers and Texans are gonna see. I think Vernon

1054
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: Hargraves is the right guy. He's not comfortable in this defense.

1055
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: He knows the defense, he knows what's asked of him.

1056
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: He made some big plays for us last year at

1057
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: certain spots, so I think he's gonna end up being

1058
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: that inside guy at least until John Reid comes along

1059
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: and then shows that John can maybe do that. And

1060
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: maybe at one point John's a little bit bigger and

1061
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: thicker than I thought he was just seeing him up close.

1062
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: So I think John could eventually play outside if they

1063
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: needed him to. But I think they wanted John to

1064
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: be an inside guy. But between John Reid and Vernon Hargraves,

1065
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,919
Speaker 1: I think you got the inside spot man pretty well

1066
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: all right. Thumbnails on the rest, Jellen Watkins, you know

1067
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough back at safety if Eric Murray

1068
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: makes his squad. Jayalen's gonna have to make his mark

1069
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 1: on special teams, but he has corner experience. He played

1070
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: corner a little bit at Florida in September ten. It's

1071
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 1: gonna be a big game to him because he's gonna

1072
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: face his brother, Sammy Watkins. What about Michael Thomas. I

1073
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: think that I was asked about Michael Thomas yesterday. I

1074
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: think Michael Thomas is gonna be your key special teams

1075
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: guy and whatever you get from him at safety's gravy. Well,

1076
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: what about AJ Moore? Though? He's making plays out here

1077
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: at safe and I think that's why because A J.

1078
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: Moore has made a ton of plays. AJ at the

1079
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: end of last year was getting on the defense in

1080
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: diamond and dime situations. I think he had a big

1081
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: play in the Buffalo game, whether it was a sack

1082
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: or TfL when he went into that spot. They can

1083
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 1: rely on him and his plays gotten better and better.

1084
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: I really wouldn't be surprised if A. J. Moore gotten

1085
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: that safety rotation out in the defense. All Right, we'll

1086
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: do the rest of the guys next, and also Watkins.

1087
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Jalen Watkins, who caught up with deep

1088
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien live in the next segment, so you don't

1089
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: want to miss that. As he meets with the media

1090
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 1: this morning, and I've got a depth question. I think

1091
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: it's if you're gonna seek outside help. I think this

1092
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: is the position group where it could possibly happen. No guarantees,

1093
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: of course, but where it could possibly happen. Because you

1094
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 1: know a cutdown day is coming and everyone's gonna go shopping.

1095
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,439
Speaker 1: Everyone's going to look through the Clarence rack to see

1096
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: if they can find that one gem and very often

1097
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: it works out for you. So let's get into all

1098
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: that and more. Next as Texans Training Camp Live presited

1102
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: have based many challenges butt on. This pandemic was something

1103
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 1: bigger than all of us. That's when I met you

1104
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: game Kyle, the answers, so they reached out to me

1105
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: on a Saturday morning, got the account opening. The application

1106

Speaker 1: no concentrates, perfectly crafted from actual tea leaves and water.

1116
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: After all, a red diamond. We think tea should taste

00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: like well, tea red diamond. We're perfect at tea. It's

1118

00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:59,160

1124

Speaker 1: they get ready for practice that they come out here

1214
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: and do it on the field. And it's going to

1215
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: be a busy day. Should be kind of a scrimmage today,

1216
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 1: if you will, a brand of that, not you know,

1217
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: not full out. I don't think. I don't think I'll

1218
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: let you know, though, we'll let you know as they'll

1219
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: do some of that while we're still on the air.

1220
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: And obviously later six o'clock tonight, Texans All Access, the

1221
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: General John McLean will join us. We'll talk about what

1222
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: we saw today. Bill o'bride's gonna be live in just

1223
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: a few omens here and we're gonna hear from Jail

1224
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: and Watkins and DP City. Now if O'Brien comes up

1225
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: during this, we might bail out of that and just

1226
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: adjust on the fly. Because you're with us here. We're

1227
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: all in this together at Houston Texans training camp. Let's

1228
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: hear from DEP City and Jail and Watkins. Jayalen, first

1229
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: of all, pleasure to meet you. This is an offseason

1230
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: like no other. You've got a new team, a new city,

1231
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: with new coaching staff, new system, and oh it's in

1232
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: the middle of a pandemic. So how much was a

1233
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: challenge for you this offseason? Just get acclimated to your

1234
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: new teammates. Yeah, exactly. I mean we've been here two weeks,

1235
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 1: I guess, so if you think about it, my first

1236
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 1: time seeing a lot of guys where, you know, two

1237
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: weeks ago, my new Vernon already, I was drafted the

1238
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: same year as Robie and Philip Games, so there's some

1239
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: carryover from the past. But yeah, it was it's new coaches,

1240
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 1: first seeing coaches for the first time. We all have

1241
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: a mass, so a lot of times when they pull

1242
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: their mass down, I'm like, Oh, that's because I'm only

1243
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: seeing about this much. So you really, you really kind

1244
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: of gotta you know, actually interact with people now. Before

1245
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: when it was kind of just going about your walk,

1246
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: you can see someone, you talk, but now you have

1247
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: to actually go and talk to someone and get to

1248
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: know him. So it's it's it's definitely challenging. I agree.

1249
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you recognize someone one hip at

1250
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: the mask on it you have to do adult takes. Sometimes. Yeah,

1251
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 1: for me, mask off because then I've never seen anything

1252
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: below here, so I'm like, oh, that's how you look

1253
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: fair enough. Well, I knew your brother pretty well. Sammy

1254
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: Watkins was here in Houston just a few years ago.

1255
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: Did you do any workouts with him this offseason? How

1256
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 1: much time were you able to spend with him getting

1257
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: ready for the season with the pandemic going on? He

1258
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: was in Orlando. I stay in David, Florida, so I did.

1259
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: I was able to go and we did like a

1260
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: small get together for him for his birthday and obviously

1261
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So I've got a chance to hang

1262
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: out with him, but we didn't get a chance to

1263
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 1: put in any work fortunately in Florida, like all the

1264
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: fields were closed. Everything was just closed, so it was

1265
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: so hard to get anything outside of your home. I

1266
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to talk to you since you

1267
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: signed with Houston, but obviously you were a free agent.

1268
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: What went into that decision to sign with the Texans.

1269
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: What made you decide that this was a team that

1270
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 1: you wanted to play for in twenty twenty, Um just

1271
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: seeing in the past, you know, being competitive in their division.

1272
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: Coming from the Chargers, we were competitive, and then coming

1273
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: from Philly we were on a Super Bowl. So from

1274
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: looking at the roster and then coach ob and just

1275
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: like I said, the last four years they've been in

1276
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: the postseason. So something something good going here and I

1277
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: wanted to be a part of it for sure. Well,

1278
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: you'll still see Philip Rivers in this division. How about

1279
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: Vernon Hargraves. You came from Florida. Vernon also showed up here,

1280
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: this time a little bit later on in the season

1281
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: with the Texans. What was your relationship with him and

1282
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: how well did you know him when I was going

1283
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: into my senior year. Well, my junior year recruiting Vernon

1284
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: pretty hard, so I've seen him a few times on campus,

1285
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: and then he finally came my senior year and off

1286
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: the bat he played. My coach told us he was

1287
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 1: going to play a lot of times you and I'm like, oh,

1288
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: we'll see. And first game of the season you got

1289
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: an interception. Second game of season, you got an exception.

1290
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, he's here to play, and uh,

1291
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, from that point on, he kind of, you know,

1292
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: started an upward trajectory in his career and it's good

1293
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: to see him back out a new new team, you know,

1294
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: new new establishment. He can start new here and I

1295
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: think the coaches like him and he loves where he's at.

1296
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 1: How about for yourself, what do you think that you

1297
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: can bring to this Texans team? Versatility? AM a veteran guy.

1298
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: I've been on a winning team before, played multiple positions

1299
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: on defense, special teams, and just a guy that whatever

1300
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: they asked me to do, I'll be able to handle it.

1301
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 1: I've kind of shown that in my career, whether it

1302
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: be safety, corner nickel, dime, kind of impromptu. You know,

1303
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: we're limited now with with with the reps about two

1304
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: three more weeks before we play a game, so um,

1305
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: those guys who are out there, they need their reps.

1306
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: But that's when someone like me I've had experienced in

1307
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: the past and not having any reps and getting in

1308
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 1: and playing pretty well, so you mentioned the Champion and

1309
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: Chip team. You were part of the Super Bowl winning

1310
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles squad. What did you learn from your time

1311
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 1: with Philly the run to the Super Bowl. What was

1312
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: different about that team than than the other teams that

1313
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: you'd been on the first two years we were still

1314
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: trying to find out identity and then my fourth years

1315
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: when we won the Super Bowl, but we had a

1316
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: lot of veteran guys that previously won Super Bowls. When

1317
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:27,439
Speaker 1: I think back to our roster in my secondary loan,

1318
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:29,919
Speaker 1: in my room, we had three guys that had Super

1319
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: Bowl Malcolm Jenkins, Chris Marriges, and Corey Graham. And a linebacker.

1320
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: We had one guy Danielle Ellery at running back. We

1321
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: ll Get Blunt at receiver, we had Torrey Smith. So

1322
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:41,919
Speaker 1: we're surrounded by a lot of guys who had seen

1323
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: it before and knew to take and those guys just

1324
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: so happened to be the vocal leaders on the team,

1325
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: and even guys like Brent Sellek, who's been the three

1326
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 1: NFC championships back with mcnapp. So it was just a

1327
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 1: lot of energy, winning energy in there, and I think

1328
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: that's something that we have here with being in postseason

1329
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 1: these last four years, so I'm excited, all right, So

1330
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 1: you're six for you? What are your goals for the

1331
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season. Obviously it's a new team and it's

1332
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 1: completely different circumstances, a different camp altogether. But when you

1333
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: think about what you want to accomplish as a player,

1334
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 1: what are some of the things that come to mind? Just,

1335
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, being ready whenever my name called that any

1336
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: one of the positions, and then being a top contributor

1337
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: on special teams in every phase of the game, but

1338
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 1: whether they be corn and safety, nickel, with money wherever

1339
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: they put me at, actually producing and helping us win

1340
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: games opposed to just being out there. So I played

1341
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: a little bit last year with the Chargers. We had

1342
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 1: some guys go down and they would play well. So

1343
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: just trying to replicate that and help us win some games,

1344
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: all right. So fans don't really know a lot about you.

1345
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: They're not out at camp, so they can't really see you.

1346
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 1: But what would you like up up the people in

1347
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: Houston to know about you? What are some of your

1348
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: hobbies are? What are some things about Jalen Watkins that

1349
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 1: people might find interesting? Um, I'd like to read. Actually

1350
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: started a book club a year ago, but it was

1351
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: on Paul. With everything going on, it's kind of you know,

1352
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of tough to ask people, you know, join

1353
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 1: my book club. So um, it was but started off,

1354
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 1: it started off pretty well. Um. We got through maybe

1355
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: two two to three books, I think, UM, and now

1356
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing a financial literacy through my foundation. So UM,

1357
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:19,799
Speaker 1: I like to give back, give back to the community

1358
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: on the things that I've learned about my career, tangible

1359
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: things like credit at home ownership. So just spreading knowledge

1360
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: that that I was able to receive these last six years,

1361
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: whether it be from my peers, coaches, or just people

1362
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: I met along the way. Jalen Watkins. Now, let's hear

1363
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,679
Speaker 1: from head coach Bill O'Brien live with the media. Let's

1364
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: listen in. I do think we have some depth. I

1365
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: do think that, um, you know, certain positions have a

1366
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: little bit more depth than other positions. I think when

1367
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: you when you think about starters, you think about um,

1368
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, different packages, especially on offense and defense. You know,

1369
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,879
Speaker 1: you think about your your eleven personnel, your twelve personnel.

1370
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: We have different types of that, if that makes sense.

1371
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 1: So you know, you're looking at different tight ends that

1372
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: could be in there, and different receivers that could be

1373
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 1: in there. If you're looking at all excuse me, defense,

1374
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 1: you're looking at nickel, big nickel, smaller nickel, you're looking

1375
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: at dime, you're looking at base defense. So you know,

1376
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: when you say starters and things like that, I don't

1377
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 1: know if we ever look at it that way. You know,

1378
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: certainly we have a starting quarterback quite obviously, right but

1379
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, starting left tackle, we have, you know, certain

1380
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 1: guys that are definitely you know, we have a starting

1381
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 1: defensive end, and we have other you know, starting inside linebackers.

1382
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 1: But there's other positions that become starters in certain packages,

1383
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: if that makes sense, I ever follow up plays. How

1384
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 1: good do you feel about what you just talked about

1385
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: in comparison to say, your first sixth seasons? You know, look,

1386
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: I think i'd be honestly, I think it's a weird year.

1387
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: You know, I think that you know, right now we

1388
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: would be getting ready for our third preseason game. That

1389
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 1: would be about the timing, and so we're behind when

1390
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: it comes to that. You know, we've got to and

1391
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 1: it's not the player's fault. It's just the way it is.

1392
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got to we've got to work to

1393
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 1: get to better shape. We've got to we've got to

1394
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:09,799
Speaker 1: really try to do the best job we can of

1395
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 1: of keeping our injury injuries down, soft tissue especially. Um

1396
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, I think we're behind, probably

1397
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 1: just like a lot of other teams. So I think

1398
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a the team that can keep the

1399
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: virus out. I think it's gonna be the team that

1400
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: can be in the best shape, the team that can

1401
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 1: improve from week to week. That's that's what you're trying

1402
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 1: to do. Aaron Wilson, morning, What did you think about

1403
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: the India and travel protocols that they released to the

1404
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: teams day? And that's what we're some of your takeaways

1405
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: from that, And I have a follow up the travel

1406
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: protocols that the NFL released You mean in the day

1407
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: protocols O the game day. Yeah. At first I thought

1408
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: you said NBA travel protocols. I was like, I don't

1409
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: think they're traveling. They're in a bubble, but uh but no, Yeah,

1410
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean they're involved, Aaron, They're very involved. Um. I

1411
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: really would have a hard time answering it right now,

1412
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: because you know, Jack and I were going through him

1413
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: last night with our subprogram heads, and you know, we're

1414
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: gonna have a meeting on Saturday about them. Uh, you know,

1415
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: everything from who's how many on the sideline? To social

1416
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 1: distancing in the press box to you know, how should

1417
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 1: we do the food at the hotel to you know,

1418
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 1: only maybe ten guys on a bus. I mean, it's

1419
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 1: just you know, and everything in between. So just like

1420
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 1: every other team is dealing with that too, But I

1421
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 1: think it's it's gonna take some it's gonna take a

1422
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: lot of hours to really sift through that and make

1423
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 1: sure we get it right. And my follow ups, you

1424
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: guys brought back dre In Phills after you got seven

1425
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: touchdowns for you guys last year and also blocked really well,

1426
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 1: what did it mean to you to get him back?

1427
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: And what is it about him at his age that

1428
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,040
Speaker 1: he's able to kind of sustain his high level and

1429
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,600
Speaker 1: have this late career renaissance? Yeah? I mean here, yeah, no,

1430
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: here's a guy that you know, didn't even play college football.

1431
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean he was a basketball player. You know, really

1432
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: a guy that is just a really mature, good person

1433
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: who cares about winning, cares about being a good teammate,

1434
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 1: and he really works hard to approve. You know, we

1435
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 1: we do a lot of things with the tight end,

1436
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: and he came into our system last year and he

1437
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 1: really learns well. He was able to produce. Deshan has

1438
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in him in the passing game.

1439
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 1: You're right, he's a he's a technically proficient blocker on

1440
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: the edge, which is hard to you know, that's hard

1441
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 1: to find at that position. And so yeah, I'm glad

1442
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 1: we got we were able to bring him back. Mark Ferman, Hey, Bill,

1443
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: how are you? Hey? Mark good? I know that you

1444
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: have told us several times shift different wrap up programs

1445
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: for different players. We haven't seen J. J. Watt out

1446
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 1: there for a few days. Can you tell us how

1447
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 1: he's doing, what's going on with him? He's doing fine,

1448
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: He's doing fine. You know, he's I mean, he's played

1449
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 1: a lot of football and he knows how to play football.

1450
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 1: What's important for him and for us is you know

1451
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,760
Speaker 1: that he's in great condition and and uh you know

1452
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: that he's ready to go on September tenth. So his

1453
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: ramp up is different than than anyone else's. And I

1454
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 1: could say the same thing about you know, Will Fuller,

1455
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks and everybody's ramp up is a little bit unique,

1456
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: I think in this year. And I know you guys

1457
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 1: are really you know, that's really important. Part of your

1458
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 1: job is to see who's out there and all that.

1459
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: But I just wouldn't read too much into that moving forward.

1460
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: I really wouldn't great barely no good morning, Just like

1461
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 1: a quick two porter about Justin Reid. Well, what does

1462
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:45,560
Speaker 1: it do for a football team when they know what

1463
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,679
Speaker 1: type of physical pain that he's in last year playing

1464
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:50,639
Speaker 1: with the labor of the injury, and yet he's out

1465
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: there just every week they're dragging him off, and yet

1466
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,559
Speaker 1: he still comes back and ended the second he really

1467
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 1: seems to be very vocal as a leader. How much

1468
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: do you enjoy that aspect of his game and his evolution? Yeah,

1469
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean he's a tough guy. I mean you you

1470
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 1: said it. I mean to go out there and play

1471
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:11,080
Speaker 1: that position with shoulder issues and uh, you know, come

1472
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 1: out of a game and then you know, have it

1473
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 1: worked on and then go back into the game in

1474
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 1: an NFL game. I mean that just says a lot

1475
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 1: about just to Reed. I mean, he's a very tough guy.

1476
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 1: He's very smart, very athletic. Uh. He played a lot

1477
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:26,320
Speaker 1: of different positions for us over the years. Played you know,

1478
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 1: deep part of the field, down in the box. He's

1479
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: played nickel for us. He's been the personal protector on

1480
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: the punt team. I mean, he's just done a lot

1481
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 1: of things for us, and and a lot of that

1482
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: is because of his own mental toughness and physical toughness.

1483
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's he's a really valuable part of our team. Uh. Hey,

1484
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: good morning, Bill, Hey morning, who's this? Oh? Sorry, Sean,

1485
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, didn't no worries, No worries. Hey, you meant

1486
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: you made a mention the other day of the process

1487
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: of bringing guys in for workouts and how it's a

1488
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 1: three or four a thing you got to COVID test them.

1489
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: It's very, very different. I'm curious if during this time

1490
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:11,679
Speaker 1: of year, how that affects decision making with fighting solutions

1491
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: on the roster. Are you more inclined to look at

1492
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: guys they're already here a little bit harder because it's

1493
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: a more conversome process, and when the regular season rolls around,

1494
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:22,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume that it's not going to change.

1495
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: Does that make it more difficult during the regular season

1496
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 1: to find guys. It's definitely challenging. It's definitely different. I

1497
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 1: think you've got to, you know, with the with the

1498
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: roster that you have right now. I mean, you know,

1499
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 1: this is basically your team. You know, you're at an

1500
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 1: any man roster. So eventually you've got to get down

1501
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 1: to fifty three plus sixteen on the practice squad. So

1502
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: you've got, you know, whatever sixty nine and seventy man

1503
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 1: roster at that point. And you know, so you're looking

1504
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 1: at your team right now. So when you look at

1505
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: your team, you say, okay, based on injuries maybe or

1506
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 1: just based on maybe a lack of depth, all right,

1507
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 1: maybe we need to look at a few guys that

1508
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 1: are out on the street that we know are good

1509
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,560
Speaker 1: football players, that we know are good guys, you know,

1510
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 1: not pains in the assets, guys that are good guys

1511
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:08,760
Speaker 1: that are picked and come in and help us win.

1512
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: You know. I think that that's something that we talk

1513
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 1: about every every week and we say or every day

1514
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 1: excuse me, and we say, okay, if we're gonna do it,

1515
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: we gotta get the guy in now, because he's got

1516
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 1: a test for four days or whatever, three three negatives

1517
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,320
Speaker 1: before he can even take a physical and work out

1518
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: or even meet with us or even come in the building.

1519
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:30,720
Speaker 1: So it's different than it has been in the past

1520
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: quite obviously for obvious reasons. It's the same for every team,

1521
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,599
Speaker 1: and that's the beauty of the NFL. Every every team's

1522
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:42,759
Speaker 1: working under the same rules. But it's definitely a challenging Hey, coach,

1523
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: you're able to that's all right, Sorry, Seth, I thought

1524
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 1: it was shown again. Sorry, that's that's it starts with

1525
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 1: an assets for letters. Um, you said that you've you've

1526
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: been able to spend some more time with the defense.

1527
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: Is that giving you a different perspective on the offense

1528
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 1: while you're doing and is it? Is it kind of

1529
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,720
Speaker 1: refreshing in a way. Yeah, I mean I just, um,

1530
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:07,960
Speaker 1: I do. I've always spent time with the defense, but

1531
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 1: I think I'm able to go into meeting more, even

1532
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: a staff meeting, and just give them maybe a couple uh,

1533
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, tidbits of offensive perspective. Hey, this is what

1534
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 1: they're trying to do on this protection. This is what

1535
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: they're trying to do with this route scheme. When they

1536
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 1: see this coverage or you know, just understand that this

1537
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: is beating this coverage or trying to or this this

1538
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: protection is you know, if the linebacker moves, you know,

1539
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: four feet, then that might screw the protection of I

1540
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 1: think sometimes the defensive coaches don't understand that, you know, offensively,

1541
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: when when a defensive player moves from here to here,

1542
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,640
Speaker 1: that can change totally change the call, you know. And

1543
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: so that's really like the perspective I try to give.

1544
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: And then we obviously the biggest thing is the personnel.

1545
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: You know, how are we using personnel. We have a

1546
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 1: lot of versatile guys like Robe and Lonnie Johnson and

1547
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: Eric Murray and Justin Reid and Zack Hunningham and J. J.

1548
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 1: Watt quite obviously and Charles A. Mena who. So I

1549
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: always tell them, hey, this is a tough matchup for

1550
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: the offense when you put this guy here or that

1551
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 1: guy there. And that's really what I try to do.

1552
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: And I can do that a little bit more now, Berry, Bill,

1553
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: you find yourself calling some of your other colleagues, you

1554
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: have the thirty one coaches around the league, and kicking

1555
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: ideas around because of this compressed situation that you're in

1556
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,560
Speaker 1: with guys on the field. I think I think we

1557
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: did that early on yeah, you know, I did. I

1558
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: would talk to certain coaches early on. The coaching fraternity

1559
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 1: in this league is awesome. I mean, they're just a

1560
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 1: bunch of great guys that are willing to help. But

1561
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 1: I think as you get closer to the games now,

1562
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if they're helping you

1563
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: too much. So I think, you know, we we early on,

1564
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: we did consult and guys would call me because we

1565
01:18:57,479 --> 01:18:59,560
Speaker 1: were us in Kansas City with a kind of the

1566
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: the first ones, right because we have the earliest game,

1567
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: So people reached out to me, Hey, how'd you do this?

1568
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 1: How do you do that? But I think those phone

1569
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: calls are few and far between now once you get towards,

1570
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, the beginning of the season. Take two more

1571
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: John Bill did. When you watch watching what is he

1572
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 1: doing better right now than he was doing safe this

1573
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 1: time last year? And what would you like to see

1574
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 1: him do more? He's playing he's playing really well. I

1575
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,080
Speaker 1: mean he's playing at a really high level. He's got

1576
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 1: a real good grasp of our team, of our offense.

1577
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,599
Speaker 1: He's got a real good grasp of the protections. He's

1578
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 1: throwing the ball accurately on time, making good decisions in

1579
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 1: the passing game. I think, you know, we've we've thrown

1580
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:51,680
Speaker 1: a ton of passes. I think he's only thrown one

1581
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: interception the whole camp. You know, he's he's he's understanding

1582
01:19:56,520 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: the ball's coming out at a good you know, in

1583
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,720
Speaker 1: a good rhythm. Um, and he just works hard to

1584
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 1: get better day. Takes it very seriously. Uh, his meetings,

1585
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 1: he's very focused. The walkthrough is he's very focused. And

1586
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: he looks at each practice you know, like a game.

1587
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 1: And uh and he and he tries to get better

1588
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: every day. So he's doing a great job. Last one

1589
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:25,799
Speaker 1: for Mark Ferman, he talked about what makes Zach Cunningham

1590
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 1: so special, how critically different packages on your defense. Yeah,

1591
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean he's very athletic, very instinctive, really good tackler.

1592
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 1: You know, he's made a couple of plays like on

1593
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:40,599
Speaker 1: you know, screen passes where he's spending off the blocker

1594
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 1: and been able to you know, put push the ball

1595
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 1: carrier back inside to where his helps coming from. Um.

1596
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,799
Speaker 1: You know, he's he can he can play his zone coverage,

1597
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 1: he can play a man coverage. He's a good blitzer.

1598
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: We can use him in a a lot of different areas.

1599
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:58,719
Speaker 1: You know, we can use them, not just at inside backer.

1600
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: You know, he just can do a lot of different

1601
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: things for us. He's a really really good football player. Okay,

1602
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: thanks Bill, Thanks guys, going to do it. That's it

1603
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: from Bill O'Brien this morning, meeting with the media prior

1604
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 1: to practice. Now you're wondering, well, Cheez, doesn't he usually

1605
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 1: do that after practice and you carry it live on

1606
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: all the social media platforms and everything. Yes, but this

1607
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: year it's a little bit different. If he has time

1608
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:24,839
Speaker 1: and practice is late enough, he'd prefer to do it early.

1609
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 1: And there's a pool reporter named John McClean, rookie intern.

1610
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 1: John McClean is the pool reporter, and he gets a

1611
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 1: few comments from coach after practice just to cover some highlights,

1612
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,439
Speaker 1: just three or four five questions, that kind of thing,

1613
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 1: and we get that out to you as well. That's

1614
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: just the way it works here at Camp COVID. Actually,

1615
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: I think that's going to happen for the rest of

1616
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 1: time with Bill O'Brien, and then we get the coordinators

1617
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 1: of the players who whoever after practice. So actually it's

1618
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 1: been pretty smooth, Johnny and you and I just talked

1619
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: to Jack Easterby during the break, got a little info

1620
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 1: from him on what actors might look like today. That

1621
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:05,720
Speaker 1: was pretty cool, even though there's less face to face contact.

1622
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:07,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, Easterby was a good thirty five

1623
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: feet away from me having a conversation while I'm, you know,

1624
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:15,479
Speaker 1: monitor monitoring the commercial break. But I think it's going

1625
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: pretty well. And a lot of questions in there to

1626
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 1: the coach about the COVID situation. Of course, you know

1627
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 1: the story broke yesterday. No mascot, sideline reporters, cheerleaders, uh no,

1628
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: John Harris on the field basically, sorry, but it can

1629
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 1: be in the stands. Does that mean I gotta sit

1630
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: next Toro in the stands? Yeah, you and Toro. Toros

1631
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: is actually gonna be the watch is gonna be very

1632
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 1: silent watch himself. Yeah, I'm just saying he gets out

1633
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: of control, he gores me. It's on. Let's throw it

1634
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 1: down to Johnny. No, guys, I'm wrestling with Toro down.

1635
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: Johnny is covered in fur right now, and I'll love

1636
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 1: to get back to him. But Johnny will be in

1637
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: the first row of the stands. The first row is untarped,

1638
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 1: and that's where the fox tags and sideline people will

1639
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 1: be so you'll be there still delivering the great information.

1640
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: I think it's an actual you know, maybe a better

1641
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 1: view for you in some cases not as cool if

1642
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 1: you will. I will admit yesterday when I saw that news,

1643
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:13,560
Speaker 1: I had about a two minute. I had about a

1644
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 1: two minute like what was me session? Yeah, and then

1645
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 1: two minutes turned in. The third minute was you know

1646
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 1: a lot of bad words. I can't stay in the radio.

1647
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: And then you called and we talked about it, and

1648
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 1: you're like, oh no, no, there's gonna be like the

1649
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 1: first road in the stands and you're gonna be down

1650
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,880
Speaker 1: there and be like, oh cool, Okay, that's not bad.

1651
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm cool, that's not bad. That's cool. Yeah. I still

1652
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: need to be talked off the ledge for certain things

1653
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 1: that might happen to our radio booth, but yeah, on

1654
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: the road particularly, But I can get into that. It's

1655
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: a little inside the inside the rope stuff. Some people

1656
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,679
Speaker 1: do find that interesting. Maybe I'll put that on a podcast. Also,

1657
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: last night, Tom brennaman, oh my god boy, now he

Speaker 1: whatever you say, it's the old thing. Don't don't say

1808
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:35,800
Speaker 1: anything you wouldn't be willing to have on the cover

1809
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 1: of the New York Times, right, Yeah, I know the

1810
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:42,560
Speaker 1: times has changed, So let's not get into that conversation

1811
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 1: right now. But you get my drift here. He said it.

1812
01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:48,880
Speaker 1: Then he apologized, that's not who I am Well, wait

1813
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:50,840
Speaker 1: a minute, you just said that. That's not who I

1814
01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 1: am like. And look, I'm not gonna judge people. You know,

1815
01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 1: I've made mistakes in my life too. You know, that's

1816
01:32:57,439 --> 01:33:00,639
Speaker 1: kind of a bad one because you know, said something

1817
01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:04,240
Speaker 1: and it just didn't and you could say that another way,

1818
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 1: I guess, or maybe not say it at all. Yeah,

1819
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:11,760
Speaker 1: I just you know, Mark, you you said it long

1820
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:14,559
Speaker 1: time ago. You know, it's funny. I was mentioning how

1821
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 1: this is the thirteenth year anniversary of our you know,

1822
01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:20,160
Speaker 1: old radio station, and the first words ever spoken on

1823
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 1: that station were WTF because why something was going along

1824
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:29,200
Speaker 1: your former sideline reporter. We're your former sideline reporter couldn't

1825
01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:30,799
Speaker 1: see in the student get all these people in studio,

1826
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:35,080
Speaker 1: and he couldn't see in the studio, and so he

1827
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:37,879
Speaker 1: wanted somebody to move, and they wouldn't move. The original

1828
01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:43,120
Speaker 1: the the switch gets flipped and he's going, what the bleak?

1829
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 1: That's awesome. And so it was interesting because that was

1830
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 1: kind of our first introduction, and you know, we kind

1831
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:51,639
Speaker 1: of we embraced the fact that we were a little different.

1832
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:52,960
Speaker 1: So we were kind of like, oh, how we laughed

1833
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 1: about it, but we thought I've thought about that many,

1834
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:57,320
Speaker 1: many times. Man, when you have a when you have

1835
01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:00,840
Speaker 1: a mic, it's just yeah, you never you never know

1836
01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 1: who's listening. You never know who here's something, especially with

1837
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 1: a profile as big as Tom Brennaman's with the Reds,

1838
01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, my goodness. Um, but it's as easy as that.

1839
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:17,960
Speaker 1: It's you gotta have Mike. You gotta be careful. So

1840
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 1: if you've got all of these thoughts that are raging

1841
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:25,280
Speaker 1: inside of you and they have to come out, ye

1842
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:27,840
Speaker 1: make sure that you go somewhere else to do it.

1843
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:31,640
Speaker 1: But and who talks like that anyway? Exactly? None of

1844
01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:34,479
Speaker 1: us would ever. I don't know. I don't work around

1845
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:38,960
Speaker 1: people who who think that way. Yeah, exactly exactly. Yeah,

1846
01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:43,439
Speaker 1: So I heard that clip clip, Yeah, I heard, I heard.

1847
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:45,360
Speaker 1: I heard the clip, and I just I don't know.

1848
01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 1: Hearing it was almost worse. Yeah, it was so angry,

1849
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 1: and yes, exactly exactly. I I didn't like it. I think,

1850
01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, I hate seeing people lose their gigs. You know,

1851
01:34:57,280 --> 01:34:59,160
Speaker 1: at least a suspension is going to happen for him,

1852
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:00,640
Speaker 1: and maybe that's all it should be. I don't know.

1853
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into that debate. Look, My

1854
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 1: first radio job was in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. At one time,

1855
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:11,760
Speaker 1: we were we were doing a remote and I was

1856
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:15,479
Speaker 1: driving back from it and the girl on the board,

1857
01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:18,080
Speaker 1: she's about twenty five years old, had a boyfriend. She

1858
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:19,680
Speaker 1: was on the phone with her boyfriend and she left

1859
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:21,720
Speaker 1: the phone thing pot it up while she was on

1860
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:23,600
Speaker 1: the phone. Yeah, and a song was playing. But I

1861
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 1: hear their conversation, and I don't have a cell phone.

1862
01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 1: This is back in the day before everybody had a

1863
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:31,120
Speaker 1: cell phone. And I am racing to the station like

1864
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:36,640
Speaker 1: and you know, I finally hear it shut off, and

1865
01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 1: then I go in and she's crying because she knows

1866
01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:42,000
Speaker 1: what happened. Things the broadcasting is loaded with stories about that.

1867
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 1: It's just a it's terrible. Well, I mean, we we

1868
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:49,560
Speaker 1: we had one in twenty eighteen and you know, we

1869
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:53,280
Speaker 1: played at Denver and Nick Manus was coming up for

1870
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 1: a game winning kick. Oh, your mic is over. You

1871
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 1: threw it. You threw it down to me, and you know,

1872
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 1: we talked about the win, what the wind was doing.

1873
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:04,920
Speaker 1: And typically at that point I talked, you know, my

1874
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:08,600
Speaker 1: mic goes up, it goes down. But then when I

1875
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:11,080
Speaker 1: got on a bus, I was curious how it went

1876
01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 1: for you, because that's such a that's such a cool moment,

1877
01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:17,120
Speaker 1: like end of game field goal makes this is it?

1878
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:20,280
Speaker 1: And instead I'm in your ear as I typically am,

1879
01:36:20,360 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 1: and I tell you why right, wide left or yes?

1880
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:25,559
Speaker 1: For folks who know, there's no way you can tell

1881
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:27,760
Speaker 1: wide right wide left in the booth unless it's the

1882
01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:31,760
Speaker 1: most horrible shank you've ever seen. You just can't tell. Yeah.

1883
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:34,000
Speaker 1: And so I try and lead you in that direction

1884
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:35,720
Speaker 1: because I could see it, but was going right out

1885
01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:37,280
Speaker 1: of my head and I was outside the upright, So

1886
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:40,200
Speaker 1: I was like, why right? Why right? But my mic

1887
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:43,920
Speaker 1: stayed open right, and I didn't know, and I keep

1888
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 1: my mic on, you know, and at that point I

1889
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:48,800
Speaker 1: should have known not to turn it off after that point,

1890
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 1: but after I said wide right, I should have turned

1891
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:54,600
Speaker 1: it off. But you could hear my conversations for the

1892
01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:56,600
Speaker 1: next how many ever minutes, and I remember hearing that.

1893
01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:58,840
Speaker 1: I just went, oh man, But I didn't have any

1894
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,000
Speaker 1: back conversations congratulating the players. You know, guys are coming off.

1895
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 1: I caught that pretty clean. I mean we I mean,

1896
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:08,760
Speaker 1: obviously you're in the call. You're like, there's why right,

1897
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:12,519
Speaker 1: there's one yeah, the next day watching Good Morning Football,

1898
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 1: and then there it is. I'm like, oh, no, I

1899
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:18,799
Speaker 1: want Johnny. It kind of worked because like most NFL

1900
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:22,559
Speaker 1: M color commentators and Andre Ware's one. Yeah, but i'dre

1901
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:25,439
Speaker 1: never steps on me, like he never does. He's so

1902
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:28,200
Speaker 1: great that way. We're good at you know, sometimes we

1903
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:30,240
Speaker 1: do step on each other in the flow of a

1904
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:33,720
Speaker 1: call of the game, but you know, we have good

1905
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 1: chemistry and we have a good arrangement. And he's wonderful

1906
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:39,960
Speaker 1: that way because so many guys are like who you know,

1907
01:37:40,120 --> 01:37:43,240
Speaker 1: yelling and screaming and you can't tell what's going on. Um,

1908
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:45,639
Speaker 1: so people are used to that, and you were actually

1909
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 1: giving a description, so that was okay. Yeah, people are

1910
01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:51,120
Speaker 1: used to that on a lot of NFL calls, Uh Bengals.

1911
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 1: When I heard it in the postgame show, I was like,

1912
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, Johnny, you've seen bad mark come out during

1913
01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 1: the broadcast through a couple of times, you know, like

1914
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,240
Speaker 1: when we got knocked off the air against the Washington

1915
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 1: football team in twenty fourteen and I was capable of

1916
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 1: taking a human life, and this was another one of

1917
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 1: those moments. I get it. I get a little upset

1918
01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:16,040
Speaker 1: in the broadcast booth when things break down, and it's prevatable,

1919
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:18,960
Speaker 1: but you know that's just kind of a flaw of mine. Yeah,

1920
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean the point the point in all that is,

1921
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, we have hot mics in front of us,

1922
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:26,880
Speaker 1: and we've had over the years, you know, people with

1923
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:29,519
Speaker 1: you know, the little sound packs that that listen to

1924
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 1: us and they hear everything during the breaks, all everything

1925
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:35,840
Speaker 1: that we you know, talk about Jamie Roots, president of

1926
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:39,519
Speaker 1: the Texans, Kal McNair listens we have. I mean, for

1927
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:42,640
Speaker 1: a while last year, DeAndre Hopkins' mother was listening to us.

1928
01:38:42,920 --> 01:38:46,120
Speaker 1: She's site impaired, so I mean, I was honored that

1929
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 1: she was listening. Um, we have a lot of people

1930
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 1: that have these little packs and now everyone's wondering, how

1931
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:52,920
Speaker 1: do I get one? These are like real time and

1932
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:55,800
Speaker 1: it costs some money, and you hear what's going on

1933
01:38:55,960 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 1: during the commercials, right which that's where we really have

1934
01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:01,920
Speaker 1: to be careful as it's like and all shocks the

1935
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 1: Texans did in the score, we'll be right back and

1936
01:39:05,080 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: what bad. I can't believe that. You know, there's been

1937
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:10,960
Speaker 1: a few, there have been a few of those. We've learned,

1938
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 1: we've learned how to handle that over the years, and

1939
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:15,560
Speaker 1: sometimes if you're listening and it's in a break and

1940
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 1: you hear nothing from the three of us, then you

1941
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:22,200
Speaker 1: can pretty much assume that something has happened. And were

1942
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:25,320
Speaker 1: texting so that each other. That's what we're doing that time.

1943
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:28,080
Speaker 1: We get the hot mic away, we get get around that.

1944
01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:30,640
Speaker 1: But you know, I felt I felt a bit for

1945
01:39:30,760 --> 01:39:34,679
Speaker 1: Tom because it's one moment and that'll be ha that'll

1946
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:40,639
Speaker 1: be the stain on him forever. And unfortunately it probably

1947
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 1: it's a bad moments, it's gonna stay. So there's a

1948
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:46,599
Speaker 1: part of me that that thinks about I think about

1949
01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:49,320
Speaker 1: that a lot because of how much we talk. If

1950
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 1: something were to come out, But then I'd start thinking,

1951
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 1: you know what if you don't spew hate and ignorance, Yeah,

1952
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:58,600
Speaker 1: and that's stuff that wee that you don't have to

1953
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:01,360
Speaker 1: worry about it. It sounded so hate boy, did you know? Did?

1954
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:04,519
Speaker 1: It sounded like it was just so looking down upon

1955
01:40:04,600 --> 01:40:07,400

1956
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:11,880
Speaker 1: It's been his home run call. It was like, I'm

1957
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,320

1959
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:21,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it was. It was really unfortunate. What can

1960
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 1: we say? Uh? And unfortunately it's not the right word.

1961
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,080
Speaker 1: He shouldn't have done it, and he did it, and

1962

1968
01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done that. But this this kind of paints

1971
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:48,760
Speaker 1: All right. We thought we'd mentioned a little bit about

1972
01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:51,120
Speaker 1: that because you know, we do this and we broadcast

1973
01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:55,679
Speaker 1: games and things happened, but that was something that shouldn't

2077
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:05,120
Speaker 1: Landry's camp questions. Good morning, Landry, Good morning guys. All right,

2078
01:47:05,160 --> 01:47:08,000
Speaker 1: I want to ask you straight up, Thursday Night football,

2079
01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:12,160
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football, or Monday Night football. What is y'all's favorite?

2080
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:20,559
Speaker 1: Thursday Night on the road is my favorite to broadcast? Really? Yeah?

2081
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:24,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because I mean it's just from a scheduling standpoint, Landry,

2082
01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:25,600
Speaker 1: I think it sucks for the team to have to

2083
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:28,040
Speaker 1: travel on Wednesday. I think the road team is really

2084
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:31,400
Speaker 1: at a disadvantage on a Thursday night contest because you

2085
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:34,080
Speaker 1: basically have one day to get ready. You're off basically

2086
01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:36,160
Speaker 1: on Monday. Yeah, you'll come in and we'll do a

2087
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:40,519
Speaker 1: walk through. Tuesday's another walkthrough. Wednesday, you're traveling and you're

2088
01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 1: playing on Thursday. Button. From our standpoint, you know, we

2089
01:47:44,360 --> 01:47:47,479
Speaker 1: have a game coming up right away after the last one,

2090
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:49,240
Speaker 1: especially if it's a loss, you want to get right

2091
01:47:49,320 --> 01:47:52,000
Speaker 1: to it and then you're off for the weekend. You

2092
01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:54,320
Speaker 1: can just enjoy college football and pro football, they get

2093
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:57,680
Speaker 1: back to it on Monday. From a broadcasters standpoint, Thursday night.

2094
01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:00,720
Speaker 1: I like it, and it's fun to go on the road.

2095
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:02,479
Speaker 1: Not this year, but it's fun to go on the

2096
01:48:02,600 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 1: road usually, Johnny. Yeah, the road night games I love

2097
01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 1: because you get an opportunity to get up early. I

2098
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:10,719
Speaker 1: always go walk the town wherever we're in. The last

2099
01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:16,960
Speaker 1: last Monday night road game we did was Baltimore. Was

2100
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:18,360
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Do we haven't money? We didn't have a

2101
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:20,080
Speaker 1: Monday at road game last year, don we know what?

2102
01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 1: About eighteen? It was Tennessee at home. So the last

2103
01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:27,559
Speaker 1: time was in Baltimore in twenty seventeen, and that was awesome.

2104
01:48:27,600 --> 01:48:29,160
Speaker 1: It was I buy the harbor. I did a little

2105
01:48:29,240 --> 01:48:30,760
Speaker 1: radio up by the harbor, I think talking to you

2106
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:33,880
Speaker 1: Landry actually, and did that for a little bit and

2107
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:36,479
Speaker 1: then went played the game that night. I'm with Mark.

2108
01:48:36,560 --> 01:48:38,559
Speaker 1: The Thursday night, though, is the best. The Thursday night

2109
01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:41,959
Speaker 1: on the road, I don't. I don't mind that whatsoever.

2110
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:43,879
Speaker 1: I kind of like that because you're traveling on Wednesday,

2111
01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:45,599
Speaker 1: you kind of feel like you're already in game mode

2112
01:48:45,640 --> 01:48:46,720
Speaker 1: by the time you get on the bus to go

2113
01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:49,840
Speaker 1: to the airport, so I like it. I liked the

2114
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:52,160
Speaker 1: Thursday night game, the Sunday night game. I don't think

2115
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:53,880
Speaker 1: on the road we've played. I don't think I would

2116
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 1: like that. I don't. I mean, I know it's Sunday night,

2117
01:48:56,280 --> 01:48:58,479
Speaker 1: like I get all out. I understand it's importance, but

2118
01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:00,280
Speaker 1: for us, we gotta be up the next morning to

2119
01:49:00,400 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 1: do radio. And you're playing a Sunday night game and

2120
01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 1: you're flying back. We're probably driving into this parking lot

2121
01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 1: about three thirty four o'clock in the morning, and then

2122
01:49:07,880 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 1: by the way you're on, you're on here in a

2123
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:11,840
Speaker 1: couple of hours. Um, So I don't think that. I

2124
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:15,040
Speaker 1: can't remember us doing that, though, Mark Sunday Night Road,

2125
01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:17,240
Speaker 1: I can't remember one either, but I know I'll think

2126
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:20,599
Speaker 1: of one and Monday night on the road. It's it's similar.

2127
01:49:20,640 --> 01:49:22,040
Speaker 1: We don't have to do radio in the morning, but

2128
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:24,760
Speaker 1: for us, because it's all about us, we got the

2129
01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:27,120
Speaker 1: players show the next day and everything. I don't know,

2130
01:49:27,200 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 1: it makes the week go faster because they have a

2131
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 1: game kind of in the middle of the week. But anyway,

2132
01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:33,760
Speaker 1: as far as the atmosphere, though, Landry, I think I

2133
01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 1: think they're all good, honestly, wherever you are, stadium full

2134
01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:42,479
Speaker 1: people into it. Thursday last year, it's Thursday night Colts

2135
01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:45,240
Speaker 1: game here at home. That was a crucial game, but

2136
01:49:45,320 --> 01:49:46,960
Speaker 1: it was a nice win at the time. The Cults

2137
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 1: are actually doing pretty decent at the time, and you

2138
01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:51,680
Speaker 1: had to have it coming off the Baltimore loss, and

2139
01:49:51,720 --> 01:49:53,960
Speaker 1: you got it. I mean, those those games are all big,

2140
01:49:54,080 --> 01:49:57,360
Speaker 1: those prime timers, all right. Most underrated text in of

2141
01:49:57,439 --> 01:50:02,560
Speaker 1: all time, most underrated Houston te in franchise history. I

2142
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:06,160
Speaker 1: got to think about this, this is really man most

2143
01:50:06,360 --> 01:50:09,720
Speaker 1: underrated of all time. The first name that came to

2144
01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:15,320
Speaker 1: it just popped into my head. Huh was Owen Daniels. Okay, yeah,

2145
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:17,000
Speaker 1: I know that's that's the thing I'm trying to Like.

2146
01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:19,639
Speaker 1: I'll give you the most underrated quarterback of all time

2147
01:50:19,880 --> 01:50:24,280
Speaker 1: for this franchise. No, not Dave Ragone, I like davekay

2148
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:28,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Mallett. No, it is Sage Rosenfeld's. Sage Rosenfels was

2149
01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:30,360
Speaker 1: a good quarterback and he should have gotten a chance

2150
01:50:30,400 --> 01:50:32,360
Speaker 1: to start in two thousand and six. In fact, Gary

2151
01:50:32,439 --> 01:50:38,479
Speaker 1: Kubiak allegedly wanted to start him. But remember against the Jets.

2152
01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 1: I forget how this happened, but I think was it

2153
01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 1: Pittman who was not the long snapper? I forget he

2154
01:50:45,520 --> 01:50:48,920
Speaker 1: was Rosenvelt's was holding I guess or something or doing

2155
01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:51,840
Speaker 1: something on special teams? What would have what would have

2156
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:54,599
Speaker 1: had been he got hurt though on a special team's

2157
01:50:54,640 --> 01:50:57,720
Speaker 1: play must have been holding and he couldn't play the

2158
01:50:57,760 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 1: next week and he might have played the next week

2159
01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 1: for Kubiak that year. That might change history. I mean,

2160
01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:06,880
Speaker 1: maybe they never even get that shob. If Rosenfels blows

2161
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:09,280
Speaker 1: up at the NFL six, maybe it ultimately doesn't work out.

2162
01:51:09,560 --> 01:51:12,479
Speaker 1: But I think Sage. Sage had a winning record as

2163
01:51:12,479 --> 01:51:14,800
Speaker 1: a starter. He put up some big numbers here for

2164
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:17,240
Speaker 1: a while. Go look it up. I think he's the

2165
01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:20,040
Speaker 1: most underrated quarterback the Texans have had. I got one.

2166
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:22,560
Speaker 1: I got one, and he's on this field today. We

2167
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:26,840
Speaker 1: got one. Brandon Dunne. I don't think Brandon Dunne will

2168
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:29,640
Speaker 1: ever get the credit for what he has done for

2169
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:33,759
Speaker 1: this team because he's played next to Vince Wilfork, DJ Reader,

2170
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:36,880
Speaker 1: he plays next to JJ Watt. Brandon Dunne has done

2171
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:39,599
Speaker 1: really good things for this team since he got here

2172
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:41,599
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen. I mean, he has done some really

2173
01:51:41,640 --> 01:51:44,080
Speaker 1: good things I was watching them Monday night game against

2174
01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:47,400
Speaker 1: the since Sandy Bengals, and there's Donny making a huge sack,

2175
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:52,560
Speaker 1: a huge sack. So yeah, Brandon Dunne absolutely, to me

2176
01:51:52,760 --> 01:51:54,720
Speaker 1: is an underrated guy. I'll never get the credit. He

2177
01:51:54,760 --> 01:51:56,400
Speaker 1: won't go to Pro Bowls. Well, man, he's done a

2178
01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:58,280
Speaker 1: lot of dirty work for this team on a defensive line.

2179
01:51:58,280 --> 01:52:00,240
Speaker 1: I think he's looked good. I mean, I of you,

2180
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll give you another under rated guy.

2181
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:06,360
Speaker 1: Dominic Davis, Dominic Williams, Dominic Davis. I mean he was

2182
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,519
Speaker 1: really good for a long stretch. Well actually it was

2183
01:52:09,560 --> 01:52:11,760
Speaker 1: three years, three years, about a thousand yards running back

2184
01:52:11,760 --> 01:52:14,840
Speaker 1: the world. That's a long time good receiver. Uh. They

2185
01:52:14,960 --> 01:52:17,960
Speaker 1: just went to him too many times, um and he

2186
01:52:18,160 --> 01:52:19,720
Speaker 1: was not he was not in every down back, but

2187
01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:22,240
Speaker 1: they used him as wanted. It wore him out. Lopez says,

2188
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:24,759
Speaker 1: Mario Williams. He's like really proud of himself for that answer.

2189
01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:30,000
Speaker 1: He's sitting here acting like he like invented like the

2190
01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:32,400
Speaker 1: cure for cancer or something like that. He said Mario Williams.

2191
01:52:32,439 --> 01:52:35,840
Speaker 1: And he's like head nodding. Mario Williams the number one

2192
01:52:35,960 --> 01:52:40,880
Speaker 1: overall pick. He's under one overall pick, John, Yo, all right,

2193
01:52:40,960 --> 01:52:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Okay, how was more? How was ld

2194
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:47,080
Speaker 1: On so proud of himself in here? Guys? You two guys,

2195
01:52:47,080 --> 01:52:50,120
Speaker 1: shut your mouth when you're talking to me and listen.

2196
01:52:50,720 --> 01:52:54,400
Speaker 1: How was Mario Williams received in this city his entire career?

2197
01:52:54,640 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, it's hard to live up to that, billy.

2198
01:52:57,360 --> 01:52:59,040
Speaker 1: You know, if he were the number two pick, I

2199
01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:01,520
Speaker 1: think that he would be a lot more up. Here's

2200
01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:04,120
Speaker 1: the thing. He was never rated here and that makes

2201
01:53:04,200 --> 01:53:07,439
Speaker 1: him underrated. Nobody liked him, and he was really, really,

2202
01:53:07,560 --> 01:53:09,719
Speaker 1: really good. He was really good. But look, they weren't

2203
01:53:09,720 --> 01:53:12,000
Speaker 1: going to pay him all that money with the next contract.

2204
01:53:12,120 --> 01:53:14,200
Speaker 1: And you're right, John, he put up big numbers. Look,

2205
01:53:14,280 --> 01:53:16,400
Speaker 1: we talk about Clowney number one overall pick. Look at

2206
01:53:16,479 --> 01:53:20,040
Speaker 1: Mario's numbers versus Clowney and just the sheer sexy stats.

2207
01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:23,679
Speaker 1: Is there a difference between underrated and underappreciated? I would

2208
01:53:23,680 --> 01:53:26,760
Speaker 1: have Mario in the underappreciated category for sure. And it

2209
01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:29,519
Speaker 1: wasn't Mario's fault that they didn't draft Reggie Bush. If

2210
01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:33,680
Speaker 1: it's young and he would always be a scy liked

2211
01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:36,599
Speaker 1: him and he was really good. I think It's another categy, John,

2212
01:53:36,640 --> 01:53:40,240
Speaker 1: and effect of underappreciated, but number one overall, pick with

2213
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:43,439
Speaker 1: those kind of freaky athletic skills. You know, I think

2214
01:53:43,479 --> 01:53:45,720
Speaker 1: I was a guy that we all. I mean, I

2215
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:48,200
Speaker 1: would say he was rated, but I think the fact

2216
01:53:48,240 --> 01:53:51,880
Speaker 1: that he just wasn't appreciated and hasn't been over all

2217
01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:53,960
Speaker 1: these years, even though he's been gone from the Texans.

2218
01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:56,120
Speaker 1: I'll agree with you on NAT and I agree with

2219
01:53:56,200 --> 01:53:58,800
Speaker 1: you ninety five percent at a time, Jay Low, every

2220
01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:03,200

2255
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:04,120
